Im a 35 year-old male who had fat injections in face. After reading some reviews I'm starting to get worried although I have no early signs (2 weeks) of complications. I wish I had done my research on real self before the procedure. Im worried that my face will be disproportionate in time as the fat is absorbed. I was wondering how long I should wait before doing a midface lift. Should I wait a certain period of time?

It's been nearly 6 weeks. Some of the fat is going away and I simply wish I did not do this. Im actually hoping most of it dissolves, but this procedure is a waste of money especially if u are still in your thirties. I looked better before and feel that I threw away 4500.00. I might as well have had a surgical procedure with that money. A lesson well learned. I normally respond quite well to any procedure and results are usually good for me. I do notice that some of the fat that's dissolved is making my face less proportionate that it was. Most people probably wont notice but I do. For all of use who spend hard earned money to look and feel better, this procedure is one that I would not recommend this procedure. I would only consider doing this when Im in my fifties and have lost more significant fat in my face. BTW, I went to a well-respected Doctor.
DR. did not take time explaining possible long-term side effects.

Jay Mohr Sports: Jermaine Kearse
Seattle Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse joined Jay Mohr Sports on Monday and talked about their first Super Bowl win in team history and if he and his teammates were talking about who would be winning the MVP trophy during the game.
Jay Mohr: When a team is blowing out another team at the Super Bowl, me and my friends when we sit in the stands, we start thinking to ourselves and we start asking who do you think is going to be MVP? Does that happen on the sidelines? Do you guys start chatting with each another? Seriously!
Jermaine Kearse: The chirps kind of get out there, but we were focused on just finishing the game.
Mohr: You dodged my question man.
Kearse: (Laughing) Yeah, there was a little chirping going around on who was going to be the MVP.
Mohr: Who on the Seattle sideline, who made the mix for MVP that was not MVP? Who was the runner up?
Kearse: Some people say me, some said Doug (Baldwin), Percy (Harvin), Russell (Wilson). I feel that it could have been anybody.

In many respects, the Internet has been the last frontier of freedom. In a world where governments increasingly control more and more aspects of our lives, cyberspace was the one "place" where one could come and go without being subject to much regulation.
Of course, just as the Wild West gave way to "civilization," it was only a matter of time before the long arm of the law reached into the online world. And it isn't sparing VoIP users.
Some countries ban VoIP completely—either by outright prohibition or by making licensing requirements so difficult to meet and licensing fees so expensive that providers are unable to offer service there. Some countries allow only one or a few providers to operate.
On the other hand, some countries—including Japan, Ireland, and Singapore—have no specific laws pertaining to VoIP. Most countries, however, including the United States, have some laws and restrictions pertaining to VoIP. And it's likely that more are on the way.
The first major federal regulation aimed at VoIP came in 2005 when the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an order requiring VoIP customers to have access to enhanced 911 (E911) services. The order applied to "interconnected" VoIP service providers—those whose users could place and receive calls to and from traditional phone lines. The legislation directed that such providers must deliver 911 calls to the user's local emergency operator as a standard feature of the service.
The first challenge
The E911 requirement created a bit of a challenge for providers. One of the characteristics that makes VoIP attractive to many users is the ability to take your equipment with you and plug it in anywhere there's a broadband Internet connection.
The FCC made the requirement more palatable by dictating that customers are responsible for providing and updating location information; the VoIP provider is only required to provide the customers with a way to keep the information up to date. The order also stated an intention to eventually adopt an advanced E911 solution that could determine customer location without requiring the customer to provide and update the information.
As part of the 911 regulations, the FCC also required that VoIP providers get acknowledgements from subscribers that they had read and understood an advisory outlining the limitations of their E911 service. This is how the legislation first affected many VoIP customers, who received notices from VoIP providers that they must complete the required forms (usually through the provider's Web site) to keep the providers compliant, or the company would cut off their service.
CALEA comes to VoIP
Now another law that affects VoIP is about to go into effect—even though most VoIP customers won't be aware of it. In September 2005, the FCC issued an order requiring VoIP providers to comply with the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement (CALEA) Act of 1994, which previously applied to traditional phone companies but not VoIP. The compliance deadline is May 14, 2007.
CALEA requires that law enforcement agencies be able, with the proper warrants, to tap into and record voice conversations and to trace the source and destination of calls. The Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) petitioned the FCC to extend CALEA to IP-based communications. Privacy and civil liberties groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), opposed the expansion of CALEA to cover VoIP services.
The practical effect of CALEA is that VoIP hardware vendors must build wiretapping capability into their equipment, which obviously adds to the cost. In addition, many worry that hackers will be able to exploit this capability to eavesdrop on VoIP calls.
VoIP and record retention
Various state and federal laws require the retention of electronic records in some circumstances—for example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) pertains to publicly traded companies. Many of these laws require the retention of electronic data such as e-mail messages, but not telephone calls. The issue then arises: Do we treat VoIP communications like traditional phone calls or traditional IP communications?
In particular, computers store VoIP voice mail on the hard drive—just like e-mail messages. With the advent of the unified communications model, network users may even receive voice mail and e-mail messages in the same inbox.
Should companies archive VoIP voice mail messages along with e-mail? This could prove costly since audio messages create relatively large files. SOX doesn't address this issue, and neither do most of the laws pertaining to electronic record retention—yet.
The future of VoIP regulation
Given the nature of the legislative process, it's probably safe to say that just as the Internet itself is gradually becoming more regulated, so will VoIP. Currently one of the big cost advantages of VoIP is that it's not subject to all the taxes and fees that we pay for a traditional PSTN line.
For example, in comparing a simple residential phone line and a Lingo VoIP line at the same home, I found that the total cost of the Lingo VoIP line was $25.10 per month, whereas the total cost of the AT&T PSTN line for the same month was $42.12. However, the cost difference was less when you looked at the cost of service itself: $29.00 for AT&T vs. $21.95 for Lingo. The taxes and fees for the AT&T line added up to $13.12, but the taxes and fees on the VoIP line were only $3.15.
As VoIP becomes more popular, you can be sure governments will not only exert more control over its providers and users, but they will also impose more taxes to pay for the enforcement of those regulations. Twenty years from now, we may look back fondly at the days when VoIP was relatively unregulated and untaxed.

Hannibal Lecter is one of the better villains in literature and cinema. My parents weren't about to let me watch The Silence of The Lambs when it came out, but I managed a viewing shortly afterward at a friend's house.
As frightening as so much of the movie was, I still think the most chilling and memorable part is the first time Clarice sees him, standing politely at attention, the perfect, erudite gentleman…locked away in an asylum for being a beast.
But we know his bad qualities. One of the most fascinating things about Hannibal's character is that there are so many positive traits mixed in with the horrors.
1. Manners
He is always polite when not actively involved in someone's demise. Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few people left who think manners matter.
2. Curiosity
Lecter asks lots of questions. He is well-versed in just about everything, and as such, never seems surprised by much.
3. Erudition
Similar to Judge Holden in Blood Meridian, Lecter's able to lecture on just about everything. One of the things I did love about the book Hannibal was the scene in Italy where he gives the art lecture to all the geniuses and wows them.
4. Loyalty
I thought the end of Hannibal was absolutely absurd, but for his own reasons, he stuck by Starling.
5. Teaching through questions
I doubt Socrates would have been very happy to have his methods employed by someone like Lecter. He hints more often than he tells. He leads people with questions instead of spelling things out for them. This agitates the people who come to him for help, but they always seem to find their way to the answers he points at.
6. He is a fine cook
Disregard what he is eating. From the reactions of the dinner guests in Red Dragon, he knows his way around the kitchen.
Please feel free to fill in the gaps. I'm off to try and forget the ending of the second movie.

What is a word worth? According to Publishers Weekly, NewSouth Books' upcoming edition of Mark Twain's seminal novel "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" will remove all instances of the "n" word -- I'll give you a hint, it's not nonesuch -- present in the text and replace it with slave.
The new book will also remove usage of the word Injun. The effort is spearheaded by Twain expert Alan Gribben, who says his PC-ified version is not an attempt to neuter the classic but rather to update it.

Sugar Lip Treatment: Fresh
If you love lemon cookies (and all things lemony in general) then this is the lip product for you! This lip treatment is incredibly yummy, and yes does taste like lemon drop cookies. I found that this is best for morning use as a base for lip color to keep lips hydrated (those of you with very dry lips will need to apply to more frequently however—which is not necessarily a bad thing since it's so heavenly tasting!). In addition it has a neat metal shape(it's a bit hefty in weight) and that means it was easy to find in my bag. I love that the heavy duty twist on cap prevents debris or dust from collecting around the cap. It coated my lips with a protective layer that made them perfectly soft AND it has the SPF, which is a must! This is a lip moisturizer for when you want to treat yourself and smile every time you take it out of your bag. Note: For a great weekly lip treatment I would exfoliate with a washcloth and then apply a thick layer of the treatment before bed for super soft and luscious lips in the AM!

Fresh Citron de Vigne has as lovely a story as I've ever heard. The scent was inspired by Veuve Clicquot's Grande Dame Champagne (one of my all time favorite Veuve's!). Alina Roytberg, co-founder of Fresh, was invited to Reims, France for a tour of the grounds. It was there where she fell in love with the aroma of the grapes, and vines in the vineyards themselves. When she returned, she and partner Lev Glazman captured her memories in this fragrance. This is a scent that actually uses some of the elements of champgne in it's mix. The heart is a pinot noir accord, which is mixed with neroli, bitter orange, pink grapefruit, sandalwood, jasmine tea leaves, lemongrass, pachouli and amber. Upon my first spray, my nose was "prickeled" with this this bold, piercing blend of citrus notes - grapefruit and lemongrass, mixed with the neroli and orange. This opening combination did, in fact, give me a distinct impression of "fresh grapes" which are a little woody, a little green, and sometimes a little tart (as opposed to a "wine" scent). The remainder of the scent was just as lovely. The pinot noir heart was lovely mingling with the sandalwood, amber and patchouli. This is a perfect scent for spring/summer and could just as easily be unisex, which is another bonus. The staying power I would describe as medium, meaning that after about 3-4 hours this will wear a little thin, but it's so lovely I didn't mind reapplying.

This thick, hydrating cream made my skin feel extremely soft & supple in the morning, after I had applied before bed. This cream is extremely thick, so I only need a small amount each time. Note: Start with less and add more if you need it, as I noticed that when I put too much on at first it actually made my skin greasy. It's also very important that you warm it up in your hands before you apply it or else it won't spread on the skin. I also loved the fragrance, which was a very unique tea type of scent (like Earl Grey!). The results of using this week after week were just fantastic. I found that it gave my skin the type of intense hydration it needed, while also plumping and soothing my skin. I also got a lovely glow to my skin, and did not irritate my more oily parts in the t zone. I looked forward to my nightly cleansing ritual because I felt like I was really pampering myself with this crème. Only a tiny bit of Creme Ancienne is needed, so this luxury product really does pay for itself as it will last for at least 6 - 8+ months, if not more. On drier/colder days I would also use this as a day cream under my makeup and despite its really thick texture, it soaked in beautifully. This is the most amazing skin care product that Fresh has ever created.Tags: beauty, moisturizers, style, skin care, luxury, cosmetics, skin, fresh, anti agingAdded 10 Years Ago from Sephora

IYC did not send delegation to Iraq: Surjewala
December 04, 2005 21:51 IST
Randeep Surjewala, who was chief of Indian Youth Congress when Union Minister Natwar Singh visited Iraq in 2001, said on Sunday that the organisation did not send any official delegation to Iraq and that Natwar's son Jagat Singh could have gone there in his individual capacity.
"The Youth Congress has never sent any delegation to Iraq. Of course,�Jagat was my general secretary. Natwar Singhji was in-charge of the�Foreign Affairs cell and Jagat Singh could have gone anywhere in his individual capacity," Surjewala told a television channel.
Asked whether Jagat would have had to inform IYC's office bearers about his journey, he said, "Any individual is free to go anywhere in his individual capacity. I can only speak on behalf of the IYC as it was then and�we had sent no official delegation".
Surjewala, now a minister in the�Haryana government, said Jagat Singh's statement that he had gone to Iraq in his individual capacity 'settled the matter'.
"I feel that after Jagat Singh's statement saying that he had gone in his individual capacity, his father had paid for his tickets and he had gone to look after his ailing father, the matter is settled," Surjewala said.�"Shiv Shankar, another member of the delegation has clarified the whole issue."

Race closes roads
Marathon begins at 7:30
June 4, 2005
In an effort to protect the more than 1,400 runners expected to participate in the 24th annual Steamboat Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K, several road closures will be in effect today.
From 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., the westbound lane of Lincoln Avenue from Fifth Street to 11th Street will be closed for the finish of all races. Fifth through 11th streets also will be closed from Lincoln Avenue to Oak Street.
Parts of Routt County Road 129, the primary route for the marathon and half-marathon, will be closed, as well. Northbound traffic on C.R. 129 will be diverted into the opposite lane at the intersection of C.R. 129 and C.R. 44 and will proceed north. Southbound traffic on C.R. 129 will be diverted onto C.R. 44 at Cullen's Corner and then return to C.R. 129 near Steamboat Springs Airport.
Traffic will be one-way from Cullen's Corner to the half-marathon start. A pilot car will lead traffic on the west side of the road. People are asked to avoid the road today, if possible.
Transportation for race participants will be provided free of charge. Riley Polumbus, communications director for the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association, asks racers not to find their own way to the start.
"Runners risk missing the start of the race," Polumbus said. "If they take our transportation, they won't have that problem. We are trying to limit the people on the course to those who really need to be there. That area already is a popular place for recreational activity and for those who live up there."
Marathon buses load from 5:45 to 6 a.m. at the Gondola Transit Center on Mount Werner Circle and from 6 to 6:15 a.m. downtown at the parking lot at Eighth and Oak Streets.
Half-marathon buses load from 6 to 6:15 a.m. at the Gondola Transit Center and from 6:15 to 6:30 a.m. downtown. Buses will bring racers' personal items back to the finish area, but runners need to provide bags for their items and make sure the bags clearly identified their owners.
Spectators are discouraged from driving their cars along the course but are encouraged to gather along Lincoln Avenue to support the runners and watch the finishes.
This year's Steamboat Mara-thon, Half Marathon and 10K begins at 7:30 a.m., and all races end at the Routt County Courthouse.
Jason Saitta, a four-time men's marathon winner, is in the field again this year after missing last year's race and having to drop out in 2003 because of an injury.
Steve Krebs, last year's mens marathon champion, is registered to run this year, as well. Inge Schuurmans McClory, the women's half-marathon record-holder, is returning to run the half-marathon. She set the record of 1 hour, 18 minutes and 30 seconds in 1995.
The marathon, half-marathon and 10K records are at least 10 years old. Rose Mota's time of 34:04 in the 10K is the oldest standing record, set in 1988.

Belfast, UK (SPX) Mar 31, 2014
One of the most serious threats to global biodiversity and the leisure and tourism industries is set to increase with climate change according to new research by Queen's University Belfast.
Researchers at Queen's have found that certain invasive weeds, which have previously been killed off by low winter temperatures, are set to thrive as global temperatures increase.
The team based at Quercus, Northern Ireland's centre for biodiversity and conservation science research, predicts that invasive waterweeds will become more widespread over the next 70 years.
The researchers say that additional management and legislation will be required if we are to stop the spread of these pest species.
Four species in particular could establish in areas on average 38 per cent larger than previously thought due to projected climatic warming. The water fern, parrot's feather, leafy elodea and the water primrose, are already highly problematic throughout warmer parts of Europe. Invasive species are considered to be one of the most serious threats to global biodiversity, along with climate change, habitat loss and nutrient addition.
The estimated annual cost of invasive species (plants and animals) to the UK economy is Pounds 1.8 billion, with Pounds 57 million of impact on waterways including boating, angling and waterway management.
Funded by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA), the research has been published in the journal Diversity and Distributions. It looked at the global distributions of 15 invasive plant species over a 69 year period.
Dr Ruth Kelly, from the School of Biological Sciences at Queen's, who led the study, said: "Traditionally upland areas have been protected by low winter temperatures which kill off these invading weeds. Now these are likely to become increasingly vulnerable to colonisation.
"On the island of Ireland currently about six per cent of the island is unsuitable for these invasive species but we think this will drop to less than one per cent by 2080. This type of research from Queen's is an example of how we are creating a more sustainable future and shows how monitoring the impact climate change is having is important for many reasons. This project will allow the NIEA and other agencies to begin their planning on how to address future issues and ensure our waterways remain a valuable economic and recreational resource."
Dr Kelly added: "It's not all bad news, however, as our most common invasive waterweed, the Canadian pondweed, is likely to become less vigorous perhaps allowing space for restoration of waterways and native plant communities."
Dr Michael Meharg, from the NIEA, said: "Invasive waterweeds can be a major problem in lakes and rivers throughout Britain and Ireland. Such plants are fast growing and often form dense mats of vegetation which may block waterways and cause problems for boating and fishing, and, therefore, to the leisure and tourism industries. Dr Kelly's research is crucial in planning for the future as we know invasive waterweeds will also out-compete native aquatic plants species and alter habitats for insects and fish."

We probably have to use string mixins to achieve this. OTOH, a generic parser generator is unlikely to be able to handle special case optimizations such as operator-precedence parsers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator-precedence_parser), because operator precedence is only implied by grammar rules, and to optimize for this case requires explicitly specifying each operator's precedence.

I glanced over that code briefly recently; it looks very promising. Hope it will make it into Phobos soon. We *need* to integrate streams, ranges, and the stdio writeln, etc., stuff. The current situation to an outsider looks quite bad (streams not compatible with stdio, no easy way to substitute string buffer for files, etc.). We also need automatic UTF encoding detection for all input streams/files/ranges/whatever. Including mismatching endianness (i.e. auto byte-swapping). In a recent personal project to write a D lexer (as an exercise to help me learn D better), I ended up having to roll my own input stream abstraction in order to handle automatic encoding detection. Which is quite poorly written, I've to admit. Something like this needs to be standardized in Phobos with a well-written implementation. T -- "You know, maybe we don't *need* enemies."

I am a gentleman that still believes in chivalry, but respect woman that are independent as well. I'm hoping to meet someone who appreciates having the door opened for her and the occasional flowers for no special reason – it is easy for me to put my partner's needs before my own and would like to meet someone who is as generous. I am most attracted to women who are street smart yet still respectful of others and who takes care of themselves.
If you are interested and would like to know more, please contact me. I'm a friendly guy and would love to talk.

Pallekele: Pakistan on Sunday set 178 runs target against New Zealand here at Pallekele. Pakistan skipper captain Mohammad Hafeez won the toss and elected to bat first.
Pakistan finished the inning with 177 for 6 wickets. They looked like getting more when Hafeez and Jamshed were batting but it is still a good score, considering the bowling attack they have.
Jamshed, who scored fifty on just 27 balls, played quick 56 runs inning and Hafeez made 43 runs.
Earlier, Mohammad Hafeez said, "Pakistan will bat. The four players Pakistan have left out are Mohammad Sami, Raza Hasan, Abdul Razzaq and Asad Shafiq. So Yasir Arafat is playing ahead of Razzaq."
Taylor, the Kiwi's skipper, says "this pitch seems a bit drier than the one they played on against Bangladesh. New Zealand have brought in the fast bowler Adam Milne to replace the injured Martin Guptill."
However, Pakistan have better statistics against the Kiwis in the shorter format of the game but the black caps defeated Pakistan when both the team met at the same venue during ICC World Cup 2011.
The Kiwis are confident as they defeated Bangladesh in their opening game with great margin.
Analysts say that the real contest will be between the World no 1 spinner Saeed Ajmal and Brendon McCullum, who scored a ton against the Bengal tigers in opening match of the championship.

This is regarding the vice-presidential nominee, Paul Ryan. In my opinion I feel that he is using the convention platform as a great opportunity to set himself up to run for president in 2016. He is young, ambitious and energetic. He seems to have his own agenda. In listening to both Romney and Ryan, Ryan outshines Romney.

A recent letter dismissed Dinesh D'Souza's "2016" film as Hitlerian propaganda, and stressed the importance of considering and evaluating facts.
Here are a few: During Obama's presidency, a record $5.2 trillion has been added to the national debt. While Democrats controlled both Congress and the White House, they spent $831 billion on a stimulus package that was followed by the weakest economic recovery since the Great Depression, and added substantially to the debt. President Obama also promised his policies would keep unemployment below 8 percent, and bring it down to 5.6 percent by now. And Democrats took $716 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare, which according to the Congressional Budget Office will cost almost $2 trillion during its real first decade (2014-2023).
The last thing Obama supporters should be calling for right now is facts.

Ticket #25 (closed defect: fixed)
Lag when loading an eventlog, if no mouse activity over the TS window
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
Quite often there is a lag of a few seconds when an eventlog loads. It may not be just speed of analyzing the new events, however, because clicking on the TS window seems to speed it up. It's also not consistent.
Some more tests:
Disabling the progress window and the forced evaluation of data does not affect the lag.
The lag is the same when loading an eventlog as when starting with an eventlog from the command line.
Moving the mouse in the TS window speeds things up. Keeping the mouse outside the TS window delays drawing forever (most of the time). More specifically, moving the mouse over any graphical element drawn by us cancels the lag, while moving it over text areas or even switching tabs in the lower pane does not end the lag (most of the time).
The problem is much less pronounced, but still there in 0.2.1, and as pronounced as currently in 0.2.0, both compiled with the newest ghc-events and libs. So it looks like a problem not in TS.
Edit: tested with TS 0.2.0 and ghc-events 0.3.0.1 and the lag persists. I have a hunch -threaded could help, but no idea why there's a problem. Nobody reported a similar problem so far, so it may be specific to 7.4.1 or the newest gtk2hs or my gtk version, too.

"Power Grab exposes the agenda of the Obama administration and its allies, from 'green jobs' to the cap-and-trade energy tax as ways to cram down the Left's long-held wish list of demands, and dream of 'organizing society.' Horner reveals what their rhetoric means, how the schemes work and what it all spells for you if they win. Power Grab lays bare the plan to replace your individual liberties with the state, securing the Left's dream of making decisions for you and your family: what you can drive, how you can live, and what sorts of jobs and future they deem acceptable for Americans."
—Mark Levin, bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host
"Chris Horner raises the red flag about the so-called 'green economy.' Power Grab shows the dark gray economic fallacies that lie behind the bright 'green' economic fairy tales, in a way everyone can understand, if while laughing between the tears."
—Dr. Gabriel Calzada, professor of applied environmental economics at King Juan Carlos University
"Power Grab exposes the incestuous relationships between the Obama administration and the piles of taxpayer money it wants to pipeline to the Big Green juggernaut consisting of Big Business and Big Labor. Horner shows that the green agenda isn't so much about a clean environment as it is about redistributing income from us to them."
—Stephen Moore, member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board and senior economics writer
"Chris Horner was right in his bestselling The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to Global Warming and Environmentalism. He was right in his book Red Hot Lies that exposed the cover-ups, lies, and intimidation of the global-warming alarmists. And he's right again in his new book Power Grab, which exposes what the extremists are really after: power over you, your wallet, and even your right to self-government. Power Grab is essential reading for fighting back."
—Congresswoman Michele Bachmann

Liberty Cruise - A Cruise of a lifetime: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by pastcruiser
Overall Member Rating
Liberty Cruise - A Cruise of a lifetime
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Pre Cruise
My wife, 2 boys (2 1/2 and 4 1/2) and I left for our July 5th eastern cruise on Friday July 4th from Toronto Canada to Miami Florida (direct American Airlines) @ aprox 9:30 am.
Tip: we used the C.A.R.E.S air harness for our 2 1/2 old and it was a life saver (he was use to this type of harness because it was similar to his car seat). It was a big help because it kept him from moving out of his seat. We packed new coloring books and small toys, snacks, DVD player and hand held devices to keep them entertained during the flight. My older son enjoyed the movie and the headphones we packed kept him occupied for a while.
We arrived about 12:45 in Miami and took a taxi $25 dollars and about 20 minutes)to our Hotel near the port More Hyatt Miami Regency. We had requested early check in and our rooms were ready (yes). We got settled and we put up the bed rails we had packed (beds very high in this hotel)hoping that the boys would have their normal afternoon nap... we quickly learned that vacation with the boys with all of us in the same room = normal routines going out the window. As it was July 4th most things were closed but the Hotel was near a CVS store so I went to get room snacks and milk for the boys. Bought new sun screen ---parents check this out before you buy sunscreen for your kids http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com)or even for yourself. Later that afternoon we decided to go for an early dinner @ Bubba Gumps in the Bayside Market Place. We took the mobile mover (free) from the hotel and it dropped us off a block away from the market place. Tip: parents hold on to young children while waiting for the train (no safety rails) Bubba Gumps was great and very reasonable. I had a dish called Boat Trash (bits of everything)! We were getting tired and decided to just take a taxi back to the hotel $7. We used the pool at the hotel (salt water) many times it was nice. In the morning we had room service for Breakfast (expensive but easier than getting the boys ready ... when we needed to do a bit of repacking). Taxi Van to the ship was $15 dollars plus tip (I over tip ... too many years as a waiter will do that to you). We put everything we would need in our carry-ons and the boys had little carry-ons. We took an umbrella stroller but only used it a few times the entire trip (mostly wheeled it with a carry on or two on it).
We got to the pier between 10:45-11:00 lots of people were still getting off the ship. Tip: We always tip the porter well ($20 for 4 bags) and have always had our luggage delivered really early. The entire process was very fast and we were on the ship in under 30 minutes. We took our boarding pic and signed our eldest up for Aquanauts and purchased a $25 beverage card for the boys to share. We tried to get to our cabin but the hall doors were closed and a staff member was posted telling everyone who tried that they had to wait until 1:00 (it was exactly 1:00 when we were allowed in). We had just over an hour left so we went with all of our stuff to the Windjammer.
Cabin: Deluxe Balcony #9674
The cabin was fantastic. It was very organized and made use of every inch of space! We had four of us in the room and I was worried that we would be cramped... not so even with the pull out sofa out at night we had room. We did not need the rails for the sofa bed because it was so low. We loved the balcony and we are so glad we got one again this time (we almost didn't worried about the safety factor with 2 boys who love to climb everything... we talked to them about it and had a firm rule that the needed an adult to go on the balcony). The balcony had four chairs and a very small table but we had more than enough room even with all of us on it. We used the balcony so much I can't imagine not getting one again. Tons of storage room and the luggage went under the bed when we unpacked. Check behind all mirrors in the cabin and bathroom for hidden shelves. The flat LCD TV is cool and we discovered (2nd last day) that if you pull it out it pivots. Bathroom is small but it has everything you need and room to move around. Shower doors circle around you and the shower head is very adjustable. The cabin was always kept clean and we had towel animals and chocolates every night. Arlene our cabin steward was really nice and always friendly to us when ever we would see her. She did a great job and we tipped her using the prepaid vouchers plus we added a little extra.
She is something to experience... we have been on voyager class ships but this Freedom class ship really takes things to the next level. Everything that was great about the Voyager is found on the Liberty and so much more. The Royal promenade was a daily ritual (Sorrento's for pizza and the logo and general stores.. plus our afternoon coffee at the Cafe Promenade was a perfect part of the day). With our boys we spent a good portion of every @ sea day in the H20 zone. This place is awesome but I do have to question the diaper rules. We were told that our 2 1/2 year old could not wear a swimming diaper in the area but if he went without any diaper that was OK? Really? Yes really! We played ping pong, shuffle board (boys loved this and it was on a remote deck that gave them a chance to be loud and bit silly), basketball and miniature golf everyday (great activities for the boys and us). When we had had enough of sun activities and the boys needed a place to run around (as all healthy boys do) we would go to the front of the ship and let them run around the Heliport or we would get a coffee and find a lounge that was totally empty (Catacombs and Sphinx were empty most mornings and afternoons) and we let them dance and run around while we watched. They also liked exploring the ship with us. I tried the flowrider this time while my wife and boys watched (I stayed up for a respectable amount of time both times and I would do it again in a heart beat.... it was really cool). I also tried the adults only area one day while the boys and my wife took a nap... the whirl pools that extend over the ship really are awesome. The attention to detail on this ship was amazing. The ship exceeded all our expectations!
Food was very good to great. We ate every night (early) and one lunch in the dining room. The food and service was really good and we had a table for four by the window (I requested both when we booked). The boys loved the view and passed the time looking for ships, fish etc... we also found that telling them family stories about when we were young really helped them pass the time. They started to request more and more stories and this normally allowed us to have a relaxing dinner including dessert (we saved coffee for later). The food was really good! I have been on many cruises and this was among the best. Our children had items they ordered from the kid's menu as well as the main menu. Our waiters even brought out special requests for them. We had all of our breakfasts in the Windjammer and split most of our lunches between Sorrento's and the Windjammer. Sorrento's was amazing and Windjammer had great variety. All of the food was great! We used room service for snacks and milk (we would order cartons of milk and keep them in the cabin fridge for the boys and sometimes bring extra cartons of milk and small boxes of cereal back to the cabin for the boys to snack on when needed). We always took turns sitting with the boys while the other one got food in the Windjammer (the boys are at that height where they are not easily seen but easily hit by people carrying plates) No complaints about the food at all. The cookies, coffee, and pastries from Cafe Promenade was very popular with us in the afternoon.
The staff on this ship worked so very hard to do everything in their power to make sure we were comfortable and looked after. Everywhere you looked staff were going that extra mile. Cleaning was constant, friendly greetings and smiles from all staff was what we experienced every time. We used the room wifi (buy the most minutes I used up my minutes quickly) it was expensive but you are on a ship at sea. We used the Mother and Toddler activities but my wife complained that it was only one one time a day for 45 minutes. The Aquanauts was great but our eldest only went one time (he had more fun with us and his brother... I think it seemed a bit too much like the daycare he was in @ home.
We tried the babysitting in the room but we made an big mistake. We booked it at the front desk for the Crown and Anchor party (2 hrs= $30) and they took my sail and sign card (so I thought I was charged. The baby sitter called to confirm the time and day... she showed up 5 minutes early and did and awesome job (played games, read books got the kids ready for bed). I gave her $20 and thanked her very much. The next day I was looking at our account on the TV and noticed I had not been charged the $30 dollars. Yikes!! I went down to the front desk and they said I was suppose to give her the money at the door. I felt horrible... I thought I was giving a good tip and I ended up short changing her. I asked if I could contact her and they dialed her number and I left a very long apology on her machine and let her know that I had just left an envelope ($30) for her at the desk. I later confirmed she had got it and she had left a thank you note for me. I am so glad I caught this.
We liked all of the live music that we stumbled across with the kids. We did not attend any of the shows because we liked having the time with the boys out on deck before bed. I heard several people say the shows were hit or miss. We have seen many shows on previous cruises so I didn't really feel like we were missing out on anything.
San Juan: We had visited San Juan several times before and decided to stay on board (we had the ship virtually to ourselves)
St. Marten: We went shopping and to the beach. Both were excellent. Paid $10 for 2 loungers on the beach... my eldest and I purchased a necklace and ring for my wife and we picked up some t-shirts and souvenirs. Getting on and off the ship no problems!
Labadee: We have been to Labadee before and we knew to avoid the market with the boys (very aggressive vendors). Getting on and off the ship no problems! We went to the beach and rented a floating mat for $10. The beach is perfect and great for the boys (no waves and very shallow). We stayed until lunch and went back to the ship to have lunch in the empty dining room. We had a great time at Labadee.
We had a really great cruise. It was definitely different than cruises before kids but it gave us a chance to share it with the boys and really spend time with them (without all of life's distractions in the way). We also got to see cruising through their eyes and enjoy experiences that we would not have before because we took them. I am looking forward and planning our next cruise (Oasis of the Seas).
Disembarkation was a bit slower and immigration was a bottleneck. We were of the ship in about an hour. We took a taxi to our hotel (Courtyard Marriott Ocean Front). Good, clean hotel on the beach with a great pool. We stayed for 2 days and enjoyed having an ocean view for a bit longer.
Extra Info and Tips:
We got to both airports early 2 1/2 hours to allow the boys to explore and move around before they had to sit still for 3 hours.
We bought one beverage card and then alternated who got the coke for the boys... we would split it or my wife would go back up with it. The boys only had about 5-10 cokes during the cruise.
Swim diapers- we used them for youngest 2 1/2 under a bathing suit (we rolled down the waistband a bit to keep it out of sight).
Kids only had a few melt downs -- over excited or overtired
We really played up how "good" the Captain and crew expected our boys to be and how they only let good boys come back and cruise again (this helped with those unavoidable boundary testing moments).
Pool Towels - you sign for them and you can exchange them for fresh warm ones anytime you want (we used them for St. Maarten and Labadee). Don't forget to return them at the end of your cruise or they will charge you $20 per towel.
Kids loved Sprinkles -frozen yogurt .... it melts very fast -find a spot on deck to eat and use the on deck showers to clean up.
Johnny Rockets- We were C & A members so the $3.95 charge was waved for us because we had coupons and my youngest was free so we only paid for our eldest. Milkshakes were extra but everything else was included. We almost didn't go... so glad we did! The boys loved the music, the singing and dancing of the waiters and even got up and danced along with them. The food was greasy but very very very good! It was a place where the boys could be boys and we could relax and watch all the action of this active place.
Wait until the second last day for Logo stuff unless you really like the new shirts - they have a 2 for twenty dollar sale for selected merchandise (pool deck)... not the new stuff but we picked a few extra shirts anyway.
Sorrento times and menu changes every day --- the pininis? Flat sandwich was really good and the pizza was too good to miss.
Unless I have stated otherwise all food I have mentioned is free (included in cruise price)
The kids loved the glass bridge in front of the main desk. It lights up at night. We had a rule that they could only run across it when nobody was coming -- so they would patiently wait and then take a few quick strolls back and forth.
We wanted our boys to have a great time but not at the expense of other cruise members enjoyment. Plus any guidance we gave to our boys during the trip was a foundation for future cruises (how are they going to know how to behave unless we teach them).
We did not let them get their own food in the buffet but took them for a quick look so they could select the items they wanted.
Our boys had the time of their lives on the cruise and like I mentioned before normal routines went out the window. They basically got up when we did and went to bed about the same time (9-10:30 ish) as we did... normally at home they are both in bed before 8:00. They napped if they wanted to (with my wife who loves to nap in the afternoon). They ate what they wanted when they wanted ... with a balance of good and junk.
Tip: Because the ship holds so much to do we often split up (my wife with youngest and me with the eldest) for an hour or two to do favorite activities.
Liberty was great and I would recommend it for everyone... families included. Less

GVP 1'' Ceramic Flat Iron
I'd seen these at Sally's and always thought that I'd rather save up my money and get a GHD flat iron, as they are pretty much the premier flat iron... but the price tag has stopped me from immediately buying one. I'm not one for knock-offs and generic versions, but when I got my hair cut yesterday, my stylist highly recommended these. And from everything else I've read, they're even better than CHI's, with a fraction of the price. And they come in black, light blue, light green, and light pink to match any girl's fancy.

Debt On The Hill: Some Lawmakers Face Fiscal Cliff Of Their Own
February 14, 2013 | Americans borrow a lot of money, and so do members of Congress. In 2011, lawmakers owed between $238.9 million and $568.3 million to various creditors, not including their home mortgage obligations. But it's not all student and car loans and carried-over credit card balances. Lawmakers borrow to buy planes and boats, and get involved in complex transactions involving lines of credit and margin loans with exclusive investment funds. And some carry credit card balances of more than $100,000.
Members of Congress Feel Student Loan Pain Firsthand
February 7, 2013 | When lawmakers debate whether to extend low rates on subsidized student loans later this year, many of them will be feeling firsthand the pain of student loan debt: Five senators and 41 members of the House report that their liabilities include money still owed on loans to finance their own education or that of their children.

When dropped from the USA softball team, Lisa (Witherspoon) finds her life suddenly without purpose. With an uncertain future, and feeling the sting of rejection, she becomes - against her will - caught in a love triangle with baseball-player beau Matty (
It should be cause for celebration that James L. Brooks, now 70, has made another of his infrequent forays into features, pitching his pleasantly askew worldview, gently mannered tone and a cast of characteristically mild eccentrics into the rom-com ring, one lately dominated by potty-mouthed upstarts who, trawling the Judd Apatow/Todd Phillips backwash, think talking dirty is a substitute for funny. On this evidence, however, those celebrations may be somewhat muted.
How Do You Know cost a whopping (for a rom-com) $120 million - a reputed $50 mill went on the director and four stars - and made $7.6 million in its opening weekend, one of the biggest flops in recent memory. Whether it was the vague, hard-to-remember title or bad trailers or young crowds not getting Brooks' grown-up approach, people just stayed away. And what they stayed away from is more Spanglish than Broadcast News.
Reese Witherspoon's Lucy is the sparkplug cornerstone of the US women's softball team, dating hot-shot baseball star Matty (Owen Wilson) and about to lead her adoring teammates to glory at the Olympics. Disaster strikes when she is unexpectedly cut from the squad and, without her athletic career to focus on, she begins to take stock of her life. Her commitment to Matty is shaken when she realises he has the emotional maturity of a puppy. And things get complicated when crashing into her life comes George (Paul Rudd), a faintly useless corporate exec whose world has also gone tits up thanks to a federal investigation for fraud. What¹s a girl to do?
That, of course, is the meat of the movie. And, sad to say, it does not provide nearly enough sustenance. Despite spirited performances from the leads - particularly Witherspoon, who is breathtakingly adorable throughout - it remains, for the most part, infuriatingly out of reach. Too often Brooks' dialogue, which could never be accused of excessive realism, comes off as stilted, and the rhythms are uncomfortably erratic. It¹s like late-career Woody Allen with a script by Mamet.
Wilson is fun as a narcissistic himbo, but he's such a tool you don¹t believe for a moment Lisa would give him anything more than a tumble, even in a crisis. Likewise Rudd, whose essential appeal is challenged by episodes of dithering ninniness that are more irritating than cute.
With competition from Nicholson (as Rudd's dad), it's Witherspoon who saves the day, delivering a performance so sweet, prickly and real you want desperately to love the movie as much as you love her.
Not Brooks' best, but it has its moments. And if Rudd and Wilson at times struggle, Witherspoon is a joy.

If someone is making a claim, they have the burden of proof and must support the claim. Rumors aren't evidence of anything.
And the reason MS doesn't confirm or deny any of these things now before it's even announced it they might deny that the console must always be online to play games but then when they lack a comment on something else like "no used games" then people will jump on it and say "they didn't comment so it must be true!!!!1!!1!11!!". It's better for them to just not comment on any of it.

shawnmck posted...If these rumors are true, then Microsoft can kiss my ass goodbye.
^ What, is that an excuse to let the rumors circulate ?
The PS3 hasn't even given the full specs of the PS3 (other than to say that it will have 8-gigs of RAM), nor have they announced or shown a form factor, or anything else...yet they can deny rumors of an Always On-line connection.
But Microsoft somehow can't.
That is a bunch of bull-crap.
If Microsoft knows that the next X-Box won't require an always On-line connection then they should announce it.
What you DON'T do is allow rumors to circulate and grow...that is counter-productive.
"Hey Microsoft...is it true that the next X-Box will retail for $1,000 bucks ?"
"Hey Microsoft...is it true that the next gen X-Box is barely as powerful as the Wii-U ?"
"Hey Microsoft...is it true that the Durango (XB 720) comes with a free HD tv ?"
^ I bet Microsoft would answer "NO" to all these questions...but a simple Q like, ..."is it true that the next X-box will require an always On-line connection...?" ... they can't seem to answer.
DON'T piss down my back & tell me it's raining.

And I find it very disturbing that MS refuses to comment on them, or even deny them.
Microsoft does not comment on rumors, it's company policy. It's not about respect, it's about the fact that the new Xbox is not announced yet. Sony didn't address the rumors until the PS4 was unveiled and Microsoft will do the same. Calm down and take a chill pill. Just wait until the announcement comes before you get your panties in a twist.

Difference here is that Sony already unveiled their PS4; Microsoft, on the other hand hasn't even confirmed the Nextbox's existence, let alone any of it's hardware or features.
Like I said, how about you let them unveil that damn thing first.
Hey guise look at my PC specs I'm sure you all care!

^ More Bull-Crap excuses...
Why is it that Sony can deny these rumors, but Microsoft can't ?
And don't give me that.."but Sony announced the PS4 already" nonsense, because Sony still hasn't announced much of anything about the PS4 console.
We know next to NOTHING about the PS4, other than it will have 8-gigs of RAM, and we know what the controller looks like, and we know some of the games.
That is squat !
Yet Sony can (& does) answer questions about the rumors and will either deny, confirm, or refuse to answer.
So far, some of the questions that they refused to answer have been proven to be true.
And the rumor of the always On-line connection they adamantly deny.
But somehow, Microsoft can't be bothered to do the same....and we are supposed to give them the benefit of the doubt and stubbornly and foolishly believe that the rumors are false..?
That is some arrogant & naive foolishness there.
Seems to me, if you can doubt the rumors, then it is only logical & fair for others to assume that they are true.
You CAN'T have it just your way.
Microsoft is pulling everyone's chain, and some of you would rather be tools.
And before you claim I am an anti-MS fanboy....I bought & still own the original X-Box (3-of them to be accurate)...as well as an XB 360 (x2).
And I am not falling for this shenanigans on the part of Microsoft.
And lets just say for the sake of argument that the rumors are false....
Then that means that Microsoft knows FULL-well that the rumors are untrue, but chooses to let them circulate and GROW without any concern for their reputation or of the concern of their fan-base.
That alone is utter carelessness & insensitivity from them...or from any company.
Any Company would deny rumors that are untrue...but for some reason, Microsoft gets a total pass and is defended.
It's not a good decision to allow false rumors to circulate, I don't care what company you are....its just WRONG !
But then again, the rumors are probably true, and that's why MS refuses to answer them.
That is what I am going to believe until they prove me wrong.
TwistedxL3G3ND posted...
^ Sony did NOT unveil the PS4.
All they did was announce it.
Can you tell me what the specs are of the PS4 ?
Can you tell me what it looks like ?
Can you even tell me what color it is going to be ?
No, you can't.
And that is more excuses.
Excuses, excuses, EXCUSES !
"Microsoft doesn't comment on rumors because....well, because they are Microsoft, and they just don't...so there.."
Yeah, that sure is some intelligent argument & irrefutable proof you got there.
I'm calling it right now...on March 19, 2013....
The Next X-Box will require an always On-line connection...but Microsoft will offer cheap XBL or even a free 6-months to sweeten the deal.
Maybe even throw in a free game (digital down-load only)...
And if I'm wrong, then I will eat crow and apologize publicly....and admit that I was wrong.
Because if I am wrong...then Microsoft is just showing to me that they are stupider than I thought, by allowing such rumors to circulate, grow, and basically erode their consumer fan-base and show that they have little to no respect when it comes to offering the truth.
RollnThunder213 4 years ago#20
I dare you to go back before February 20th and pull me an official Sony press release concerning always online DRM and the ability to play used games. I'll wait here.
If you asked a MS employee about the next Xbox they'd be like "what are you talking about?" and go on to explain what makes the Xbox 360 a great console. They just refuse to acknowledge it even exists, Sony did the same exact thing.
You also have to consider that gaming forums isn't anywhere near a good sample for the overall gaming market. So denying/confirming is just playing games for the small hardcore people who tune in. The vast majority of people who will buy the consoles probably don't even know another console is coming out this year let alone know anything about what the rumors circulating about it are.
Chill out, wait a month, then you can bag on MS for not addressing rumors.

The dollar rose above ¥99.60 in Tokyo trading Tuesday, inspired by a sharp rise in Tokyo stock prices, but its upside was capped due to profit-taking.
At 5 p.m., the dollar stood at ¥99.63-67, up from ¥99.33-34 at the same time Monday. The euro was at $1.3173-3174, down from $1.3209-3210, and at ¥131.22-25, against ¥131.21-23.
In morning trading, the dollar rose to around ¥99.70, reflecting its solid tone carried over from overseas trading overnight.
But the dollar was soon hit by selling aimed at locking in profits, market sources said.
In the afternoon, the dollar was pressured versus the yen as it lost ground against the Australian dollar after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its key interest rate unchanged at a monetary policy meeting.
As Tokyo stocks extended gains sharply,the dollar attracted renewed demand later.
Concern over the situation in Syria has receded and speculation is growing that the U.S. Federal Reserve will start scaling down its quantitative easing as early as this month, markets sources said.
After European investors joined trading in late hours, the dollar drew renewed demand and stayed solid above ¥99.50.
Still, the dollar's upside was limited as "sell orders were lined up at levels between ¥99.80 and ¥100," a foreign exchange broker said.
"Although supported by the surge in stock prices, the dollar failed to chase higher ground before the U.S. government's jobs data for August," due out Friday, a major Japanese bank official said.
In view of the possibility of the U.S. jobs data affecting the Fed's decision on its quantitative easing, an official at a major Japanese bank said that "investors are finding it difficult to place aggressive buy orders for the dollar."

The Buzz on Blu: Indiana Jones, 'Cabin in the Woods' and 'Battlefield America'
In fact, there all sorts of interesting stuff arriving on Blu-ray this week, including oddball independents, dance-battle dramas, black and white biopics, and heady horror comedies.
As such, we've assembled a short but sweet rundown of just a handful of the titles that we think you should add to your Blu-ray library.
Which new release should enjoy resurrected appreciation on home video?
Battlefield America (Arc Entertainment)
The One-Liner: Marques Houston stars in this kid-friendly dance-oriented drama about a successful businessman whose heart melts after he's assigned to mentor a group of ambitious but talentless preteen dancers.
Picture Perfect? As directed by Chris Stokes (You Got Served), the film is slick and vibrant, and looks good in high definition.
What Else Is There? Not a whole lot – a couple of behind the scenes featurettes – so don't pick this one up expecting to be immersed in BA mythology.
How Badly Do I Want It? Unfortunately, the focus on kids makes their chest-puffing turf war seem utterly silly, but there are almost enough good dance routines to make this worth watching.
Cabin in the Woods (Lionsgate)
The One-Liner: Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard eviscerate horror conventions with a cathartic, gauntlet-throwing comedy about a group of college kids who unexpectedly encounter a litany of movie monsters.
Picture Perfect? The film's contrast-heavy cinematography creates effective atmosphere even as it occasionally drifts into too-dark territory.
What Else Is There? A commentary by Whedon and Goddard offers insights into the duo's creative process, as does a picture-in-picture track featuring other members of the cast and crew.
How Badly Do I Want It? Although many horror fans will find the film to be a celebration of the genre, it also seems to suggest that its conventions are played out – but the Blu-ray should highlight its ambitions more clearly, especially with multiple viewings.
Ed Wood (Touchstone Home Entertainment)
The One-Liner: One of Tim Burton's best films come to Blu-ray, offering a deliciously high-definition experience of watching the world's worst filmmaker (the title character, not Burton) in action.
Picture Perfect? The film joins the ranks of some of the best black and white Blus in release with a gorgeous transfer that offers way more than 50 shades of gray.
What Else Is There? A frankensteinian commentary track and a series of featurettes all offer additional insights into the film's creation, although in a familiar way – they all appeared on previous standard-defintion release of the film.
How Badly Do I Want It? If you're a Burton fan, badly – but even if you're not familiar with the film or its subject, it's a rich, rewarding experience that celebrates the creative process against all odds.

M Juke (solo artist and producer & co-writer of Alice Russell) and Robert Luis (A&R and Co-Owner of Tru-Thoughts) are the joint force which is me&you, a multifaceted musical outfit producing a wide range of stomping dance floor breaks.
The duo first collaborated in 2005 to write a one-off track for their DJ sets, then in the summer of 2006 they were invited to play at Bestival and recorded a couple of extra tracks especially for the gig. After an astounding reaction from the crowd they were inundated with enquiries through MySpace and the Tru Thoughts website so decided to record the full-length album "Floating Heavy" together.
The unique, encapsulating mix of me&you sounds will instantly entice you into a head-nodding, toe tapping dancefloor-stomping trance and deliver you on a journey through an eclectic spectrum of influences from break beat, soul, jazz and dub step to broken beat, reggae, disco and drum and bass. The striking album artwork for "Floating Heavy" was also voted among the top 20 album covers of 2007 in the prestigious Art Vinyl competition.
Me&You have proved to be a big hit with tastemakers and DJs, including Bobby Friction on the BBC (Radio 1 and the Asian Network), and their fanbase is rapidly expanding, not least thanks to a series of unofficial remixes and versions that they have been getting out there on other labels. A full double-CD album featuring some of the best bits from these extra-curricular activities is soon to be made available, in enigmatic fashion, on a strictly limited basis.
For tour information for me&you, visit their website at
This drum n bass remix by Benny Page takes the original British calypso, reggae...
Stomping it's way through Break Beat, Soul, Jazz, Dub and Drum and Bass, ...

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
King's Foster Home is located in Jacksonville, Fl
King is a very Large, Stunning, Male German Shepherd weighing in around 120 lbs he is all muscle and is approximately 3 years old. King is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, flea, tick, heartworm prevention and will be microchipped.
King was rescued out of a high kill shelter, he was originally picked up as a stray so we do not have any history on him.Since King has been in foster care he gets along great with dogs, cats and kids. He loves car rides and is very easy going. His only issues are trying to put a collar on him or touching him around his neck, he won't bite but he will snap because he feels uncomfortable. We think someone must have used some sort of shock collar inappropriately. Foster mom is currently working to desensitize him and he is getting much better. King is great in the home, laid back, extremely obedient and just a big boy with a huge heart to match his size
If you would like to provide this, loving big guy a, forever home or need additional information regarding adoption Please Email:firstname.lastname@example.com
Adoption fees range from $100 - $350 depending on age, degree of personalized training, and if proof of bloodlines can be provided.
Application, home-check, and references must be approved prior before final adoption.
King, a Green Cove Springs German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Green Cove Springs, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Green Cove Springs.

How badly do liberals hate Rick Santorum? Last Tuesday, Lawrence O'Donnell insisted an openly-gay fringe candidate was more worthy of inclusion in the Iowa presidential debate than Santorum was, employing a poll by liberal Harris Interactive. O'Donnell claimed Santorum "has left many of us concerrned for his mental health" at his opposition to gay marriage. Forgive us if we don't buy that O'Donnell's heart bleeds with concern for Santorum's allegedly fragile state.
In addition, coarse liberal radio host Randi Rhodes mocked Santorum and his wife Karen and their home schooling of their children. She asserted "Children who are raised by wolves are better off than kids homeschooled by Rick Santorum!"
Somehow, it's doubtful if a Democrat ran for president against his party's grain on a single uncomfortable social issue -- let's say it was a champion of the unborn -- that O'Donnell would be thumping a tub for their inclusion in debates. But that wasn't slowing Larry down:
O'DONNELL: Time for tonight`s Rewrite. Fox News is barring this man from its Republican presidential debate this week simply because he is gay. Fred Karger meets all of Fox`s requirements for being in the debate, which are "the candidate be registered with the Federal Elections Commission as a presidential exploratory committee or presidential campaign. The candidate meets all U.S. Constitutional requirements and has garnered at least an average of one percent in five national polls based on most recent polling leading up to the registration day."
Karger's campaign cites five polls, the most recent a Harris interactive poll, which saw the candidate tied with Tim Pawlenty at two percent. Karger has also placed at one percent in three polls, one of them a Fox News poll. And just under one percent in a fifth. And to reiterate, "Fox`s own rules call for an average of one percent in five national polls, and the two percent showing in the most recent Harris Poll gets him there."
But Fox News knows that Fred Karger is openly gay. And Fox News is not about to let an openly gay presidential candidate in a Republican debate. But Fox News will allow this man in the debate, former Fox News contributor Rick Santorum, who polls 50 percent lower than Fred Karger in the Harris Interactive Poll.
Santorum, of course, is not openly gay. But he is deeply confused about human sexuality and has left many of us concerned for his mental health when he finds himself irresistibly drawn, at no one's prompting, into discussions of gay life.
This is one of those classic double standards that liberals like to engage in -- because Fred Karger is running for president to discuss his gay life, and all the other issues are secondary. Somehow, O'Donnell doesn't think Karger has a mental-health problem. But a politician willing to question gay marriage must by definition have a screw loose.
O'Donnell went on a long bender about Santorum attempting to suggest the difference between traditional marriage and "gay marriage" is like the difference between a napkin and a paper towel. It's not a terrific analogy, since it allowed O'Donnell to claim he's not a fancy-pants who wears $88 socks and $525 shoes because he uses paper towels like a napkin. Then he harrumphed: "Someone who has no comprehension of the American relationship to paper towels and napkins has no better chance of becoming president than an openly gay Republican."
On August 5, Randi Rhodes went on this anti-Santorum bender:
RHODES: Frankly, when I look at, you know, seven children of Rick Santorum all being homeschooled - there are seven people that are being raised to be ignorant enough to vote for someone like Rick Santorum and that kills me!
CALLER: Absolutely, absolutely absolutely!
RHODES: I mean, you'd be better off living in a pit in somebody's basement lowering down bottles of skin lotion - it rubs the lotion on - you know what I mean than - than you would being homeschooled by Mrs. Santorum, who passes a dead fetus around as a learning lesson!
CALLER: Absolutely -- I'm a visual --
RHODES: Children who are raised by wolves are better off than kids homeschooled by Rick Santorum!
Liberals are forever bashing the Santorums for taking their dead baby son Gabriel home for their other children to see. It would be much less weird and much more defensible for them if a candidate secured a late-term abortion and never thought about it again.

Irrfan Khan and director Tigmanshu Dhulia are already basking in the glory of success of their latest venture with critics showering laudable comments to 'Paan Singh Tomar' (that hit theatres past Friday). And now, Bollywood's ultimate star Mr. Amitabh Bachchan has lavished bucketfuls of praise on this film hailing it as an impeccable biopic that inspires awe.
Taking to his blog, Amitabh (who recently got discharged from hospital) was generous in his comments as he expressed his admiration for the film. Calling 'Paan Singh Tomar' a true biopic, he commended on the director's restraining job and the stupendous performances put in together by the whole bunch of fresh faces. Amitabh also had sweet words for the protagonist Irrfan whom he described as 'that incredible performer'.
What touched Big B's heart is the poignancy in the film that is a true reflection of how a national hero was compelled to turn into a bandit and eventually died penniless. Amitabh highlighted the point that the film brilliantly captures the journey of a man from Madhya Pradesh and truly depicts how some of our national champions have to sell off their gold medals in order to survive the later stages of their lives. A moving story that shows how national heroes are forgotten and left to their fates!
Amitabh remarked that the film is a perfect tribute to many of our unsung heroes who often perish into oblivion & obscurity. He also appealed to the Indian government to look into this matter and try to bring about a change in the existing system so that our heroes are not snubbed by the society.
Overall, the film is a brilliant portrayal of a harsh reality of Indian sports. It did leave a lasting impression on Big B's heart and you, too, are likely to feel touched by this tale woven magnificently by director Dhulia aided magically by 'that incredible performer' Irrfan Khan…
