Alivn Kamara couldn't wipe the huge grin he kept flashing off his face when he exited the field at Neyland Stadium Saturday. After all, he had just practiced in front of more fans than he played against all last year in junior college."Not everybody gets to do this," Kamara said. "Not everybody gets this chance that we get to play in front of some of the best fans in the country. Just being out here and competing against my teammates and in front of these fans, it's amazing." The Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College transfer didn't have to learn how to appreciate moments like the one he saw Saturday, when hundreds of Tennessee students filed into Neyland Stadium to watch practice for Student Appreciation Day. A different type of atmosphere permeated throughout the practice session, one that coach Butch Jones has been zealously trying to instill. Students lined the field at the end of the session to watch wide receiver Josh Malone run the 40-yard-dash. They laughed as offensive lineman Kyler Kerbyson danced around them while music blasted from the speakers. They even got a chance to participate, as the team let some of them join the quarterback battle to see who could hit the field goal crossbar with a pass. As Jones worked the microphone with the presence of an award host and roast master, one thing was evident — this new energy has encapsulated Tennessee. It's nearly impossible to imagine a Johnny Majors practice with students dancing to the music of an on-field DJ while standing feet from the players, acting as personal crowd noise for the defense. Yet that's the direction college football and Butch Jones himself have taken to embrace this modern approach to the game. "A big thank you to our student body," Jones said after practice. "At most universities student attendance is down, but at Tennessee, ours is up. We talk about all being in it together, so to be able to share the day with them, I know it was rewarding not just for our coaching staff, but for our players as well." Linebacker Dillon Bates agreed. He's experienced first-hand the raucousness of a Tennessee game day and believes reaching out to the students is the way to bridge the player-fan gap that has narrowed with social media and the increased platforms from which fans are able to get their information. "It's always a great atmosphere when you step into Neyland, and to have a few fans come out to show what a great student section this school has (is nice)," Bates said. "It's amazing to see a couple hundred, maybe a thousand, fans come out." Jones knows how important it is to connect with past, present and future Vols, and Saturday's student-based practice was just another example of that. Whether it's playing music on the field, letting the students get a couple of passes in during practice or giving them a way to see their team live in the spring, it's clear what his mission is. Butch Jones is trying to make the program's motto more than just a saying. "It means everything because it's all about One Tennessee, and it's all about our student body, which is so supportive like everyone else," he said after practice. "To be able to have a day like this, it is rewarding for everyone involved."

Jody Maroni's Sausage Kingdom Restaurant Review: Even if Jody Maroni's little stand wasn't located right on zany Venice Beach, it would be worth driving to---from any part of town. There are usually about a dozen varieties of dogs available, from old favorites (bratwurst, Italian and andouille sausages) to his own fanciful inventions (e.g., chicken-tequila sausage, chicken-pomegranate, Cubana chicken). The concept has now been franchised throughout Southern California and the nation, but this original, a Venice institution since 1979, remains a unique experience.

Nothing. Dirty and messy, Almost equal to no breakfast. Thick smoke.
Bed sheets where dirty with stains and hair
Good staff....clean rooms...close to shops Rooms where small...an hotel didn't have a pool
Bed was comfortable Pretty dirty. Run down bathroom
I was attending a seminar and it was very close to where it was being held. Hotel was extremely noisy at night due to being right on Rt. 3. Picture on website looked much nicer. Room was dated.
Way too noisy in rooms facing road. Food smell in hallway. Breakfast way too late
The overall cleanliness was great it just did not feel very welcoming and the check in process is to crowded for such a small entrance. Did not really see much of the staff but the lady at breakfast was nice. Just in my opinion needs to be more of a welcoming environment. Definitely did not get that feeling
The staff was amazing and welcoming Beds and shower slightly dirty
It was a cheap and close place to allow you to drive to the city. Free wifi. It was very run down.
Staff at least. Everything. There was nothing to like about. I did early check out and booked another hotel rather than keep staying there that is how terrible it was. Comforters are like those were never washed after purchased. Horrible experience just horrible.

To remember Houston on the sad anniversary of her passing, watch Jessica Sanchez sing Whitney's 1992 smash as part of a week-long tribute that also includes Melanie Fiona and Chrisette Michele.
Remembering Whitney
Whitney Houston, who passed away on Feb. 11, 2012, not only found legions of fans with her incomparable voice, she was also the galvanizing inspiration for generations of singers. To honor Houston's amazing music during the week of this sad anniversary, Billboard.com asked Jessica Sanchez, Chrisette Michele [2] and Melanie Fiona [3] -- three younger vocalists who counted Whitney as a guiding musical force -- to pay tribute to the late, great star the most fitting way possible: by each singing one of her biggest hits. Today, watch Jessica Sanchez sing Houston's signature song, "I Will Always Love You."
Photos: Jessica Sanchez's Session [5]
"Everything that Whitney did, she really made her mark," says Sanchez, whose rise in the music world began with her runner-up finish on "American Idol" in 2012. "'The Bodyguard,' I love that movie and the reason I sang, 'I Will Always Love You' today is that is one of my favorite songs from her. It was just such an amazing record and it really touched everybody. I don't think anybody could ever sing it like her."
Watch Melanie Fiona Sing Whitney Houston [3]
Seventeen-year-old Sanchez waxes rhapsodic about how important Whitney's music has been to her personally, but her sweet-voiced rendition of "I Will Always Love You" and her emotional finish speak even louder than her words.
Watch Chrisette Michele Sing Whitney Houston [2]
Houston's "I Will Love You" was the centerpiece of soundtrack for the 1992 film "The Bodyguard," in which she also starred. Houston took the bittersweet Dolly Parton-penned ballad all the way to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks.
"Her technique and her voice is completely different from anybody else, and that's why she is Whitney Houston. That's why she's a legend," Sanchez says, "and that's why she was my biggest inspiration."

Pre Amps
Rather than using a single box integrated amplifiers, having a separate power amplifier and pre amp is considered the ideal scenario for audiophiles and enthusiasts, and is considered the pinnacle of hi-fi. These designs typically offer much better performance than integrated amplifiers. A pre amp connects to your source (streamer, DAC, CD player, etc) offering volume and source selection. Some models will offer different connection options such as DIN or Balanced XLR inputs, rather than just typical RCA phono inputs.
Pre amps do not include speaker outputs and must be connected to a power amplifier which connects to your bookshelf or floorstanding speakers. Some pre amp include a headphones socket. If not, you can invest in a dedicated bookshelf or headphone amplifier. All of our in stock products are available to order with Free UK next day delivery.
The reason for separation of the pre amp and power amplifier is a concept that applies to virtually every product across hi-fi. Greater performance will virtually always be had by having everything which can be separate housed in a separate unit. A standalone phono stage will typically offer better performance than one within an integrated amplifier, and the same logic applies to DACs, headphone amplifiers and most other hi-fi products. One key reason for this phenomenon is the separation of power supplies. Power supplies are typically described as "noisy", they vibrate and resonate and can cause unwanted interference which can have undesired effect on the audio signal and ultimately the sound your hi-fi produces and your enjoyment of your favourite records and music collection. By housing a pre amp and a power amplifier in separate boxes, their respective power supplies are also separated and isolated from one another, making it much easier to preserve signal quality and prevent any interference.
Manufacturers go to great lengths to isolate the potentially noisy power supplies and transformers required to power the pre amp from the delicate circuitry. These techniques, as well as varying features, connectivity and build quality, is what separates one amplifier from another, and is the reason why some cost a large amount more than others. One technique involves suspending the power supply and isolating it from the sensitive components, so that resonance is not passed through the chassis.
A key concept in Pre Amp design is signal integrity. That is to say that the signal the pre amplifier takes from your source (CD player, turntable, tuner etc.) needs to remain untouched and uncoloured by tone controls, resonance or filters, and must be fed to the power amplifier as an untouched signal. Most hi-fi manufacturers and high end pre amp hold to the mantra that attempts to improve signal quality will always have an adverse effect on musicality and the overall sound produced by your hi-fi. High quality pre amp seek to be as simple as possible internally, in order to maintain signal quality and integrity. Most designs seek for the shortest possible signal paths and direct cable routing internally to prevent longer runs of cabling allowing for interference and negative effects of resonance, RF and power supplies.

By Jim Abrams, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON First, the easy ones: The 1936 election, where Franklin Delano Roosevelt beat Alf Landon 523 to 8 in the electoral vote and 61 percent to 37 percent in the popular vote, was definitely a landslide.
Ronald Reagan's 1984 win over Walter Mondale, 525 to 13 in the electoral vote and 59 percent to 41 percent in popular votes, that, too, was unquestionably a landslide.
With Barack Obama out front of John McCain in national polls and leading in many battleground states, various computer analyses hold out the possibility that Obama could claim 300 or more electoral votes. (It takes 270 electoral votes to win.) But there's no clear definition of what it takes to lay claim to the distinction of a landslide.
Ed Rollins, who helped engineer Reagan's 1984 runaway, defines a landslide as "any time you get over 300 or 320 electoral votes." He thinks Obama is on track for more than 300.
Kathleen Thompson Hill and Gerald N. Hill, in their book, "The Facts on File Dictionary of American Politics," say that while interpretations differ, a landslide might be 60 percent of the popular vote. That's a fairly steep hurdle these days, when the two parties have bases of around 40 percent of the electorate, leaving the other 20 percent to be fought over.
But the Hills, both professors at Sonoma State University, also say there are more nuanced ways to define a landslide.
"It usually means exceeding expectations and being somewhat overwhelming," Gerald Hill said. There's a sense of momentum, "like rocks coming down a mountain, and that seems to be what is happening" with the Obama campaign, he said.
Political columnist William Safire writes in his "Safire's Political Dictionary," that the word landslide made its appearance in the natural-disaster sense in 1838, and that headline writers began applying it in the political context a few years later. He defines it as "a resounding victory; one in which the opposition is buried."
Resounding victories in the Electoral College are not always reflected in the popular vote.
In 1988, the first President Bush drubbed Michael Dukakis 426-111 in the electoral vote, but the popular vote was closer, 53 percent to 46 percent. Dwight D. Eisenhower, in the first of two lopsided victories over Adlai Stevenson, in 1952 came out ahead 442-89 in electoral votes while the margin was 55 percent to 44 percent in popular votes.
"Given the razor-thin margins of 2000 and 2004, a landslide is more difficult to define this cycle," said Robert Schmul, professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame. He concludes that "if a candidate doesn't receive over 100 electoral votes, that candidate is clearly a victim of a landslide." He said that in all such cases over the past half-century, the winning popular-vote margin approached or exceeded 10 percentage points.
Among other elections that might qualify as landslides:
_Theodore Roosevelt over Alton Parker in 1904, 336-140.
_Woodrow Wilson over Roosevelt and William Taft in 1912, 435-96.
_Warren Harding over James Cox in 1920, 404-127.
_Herbert Hoover over Alfred Smith in 1928, 444-87.
_Franklin Roosevelt in all four of his elections, with electoral votes of 472, 523, 449 and 432.
_Lyndon Johnson, who carried the tongue-in-cheek nickname "Landslide Lyndon" for his razor-thin 87-vote victory in a Texas Senate race, over Barry Goldwater in 1964, 486-52.
_Richard Nixon over George McGovern in 1972, 520-17.
Safire recounts that Thomas Eagleton, who was forced to drop out as George McGovern's running mate after it was revealed he had been treated for mental illness, dismissed that campaign setback as "one rock in a landslide." McGovern, writing five years later, wrote: "Perhaps that is true. But landslides begin with a single rock."

How does everyone feel about the impact movies are making on the Disney World we all know?
I think it is a nice idea, but I also think that Disney could bring other things to life. What would you think of a remake of the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, or maybe a new, high thrill ride? (Maybe even a new, high thrill ride based on a movie.)
This was posted in USA Today…
Gene Sloan, USA TODAY
It's expansion time again at Disneyland in California. Disney announced plans this week for a major, multiyear upgrade to the newer of the resort's two parks, Disney's California Adventure, including the creation of a 12-acre "land" inspired by the Disney/Pixar film Cars. Cars Land, as it will be called, will include a major Cars-themed thrill ride and two lesser family-friendly rides.
Disney also will beef up other areas of the 6-year-old park with the addition of rides themed to the movies Toy Story and The Little Mermaid, a new "nighttime spectacular" water and lighting show, a new entryway and other improvements. The announcement follows Disney's groundbreaking last month for a 250-room expansion of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.
The small footprint of Disney's California Adventure when it opened in 2001 drew criticism from Disney die-hards, but Disneyland president Ed Grier says the park has been a success. "This expansion builds on a commitment we made more than a decade ago to create and grow the Anaheim resort area as a world-class tourist destination," he says.
No word on when everything opens.

The young royals last night joined world leaders at a moving twilight ceremony to honour the fallen and celebrate peace, 100 years on from the First World War.
As darkness fell the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge paid tribute with Prince Harry at the St Symphorien Cemetery in Mons, Belgium, where 284 German and 229 Commonwealth graves stand.
They were among 500 guests at the service, including veterans' relatives, PM David Cameron, Belgium's King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, German President Joachim Gauck, and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
To the haunting sounds of Brahms' Requiem, those attending made their way to the obelisk which looks down on the graves through the trees from its elevated central position.
Prince William laid flowers as Harry and Kate placed lanterns at the site before the service concluded with The Last Post and a silence for the fallen.
The service was filled with the spirit of reconciliation between the nations which had faced each other across the battlefield a century ago.
And in an opening speech Mr Cameron vowed the nations would never break the peace again.
He said of the First World War: "I think of the millions of mothers and fathers who would have stood on their door-step, waving their sons off, not knowing if they would ever see them again.
"We should never fail to cherish the peace between these nations, and never underestimate the patient work it has taken to build that peace.
"So, 100 years on, it is right that collectively we stop; we pause; and we re-pledge this for the next 100 years."
The cemetery site is just metres from where British soldiers fought their first battle – the Battle of Mons - from August 23 1914, after mobilising troops following declaration of war on August 4.
The service, live on the BBC, contained rousing wartime songs and letters from British and German soldiers, including a heartbreaking note from the worried mum of Private John Parr, who was shot aged just 17 on August 21.
The letter was read by his great niece Iris Hunt.
It said: "Sir, I have been to the War Office today, concerning my son, Private John Parr, who went on active service in August.
"I have not heard from him at all and the War Office can tell me nothing. They have referred me to you.
"The War Office seems to think this is rather a long time. I am very anxious as it is now ten weeks.
"If anything has happened to him by this time, someone would have wrote to me.
"I have heard from Berlin, the address is from a prisoner of war to say that my son was shot down at Mons.
"Yours Truly, Mrs. Parr."
Harry, like William with his military service medals proudly pinned to his shoulder, then read the letter of Private Michael Lennon, of the 1st Battalion Royal Dublin Fusiliers, to his brother Frank in May 1915, one month before he was killed.
He read: "I suppose we are for it tomorrow, if we don't get shelled on the way.
"I can hope we have all the luck to come through the night and if I should get bowled out – well it can't be helped.
"I shall pack up to the place 'Where falls not rain, nor hail, nor any snow, and where the wind never blows loudly', but, I am looking for something better than that and I shall see you when the job is done."
Before taking their seats, William, Harry and Kate paused between the graves of Private Parr and 40-year-old Private George Ellison, who died 90 minutes before the guns fell silent on Armistice Day, November 11, 1918.
Remarkably it is a coincidence that, as the first and last British soldiers to die, they are buried opposite each other.
The royals also met relatives of those who died in the conflict.
The cemetery, originally managed by Germany, was handed to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the 1920s.
Their spokesman said: "When we were thinking how to mark the Centenary of the war we wanted something that had the sense of remembrance but also something that passes that baton onto the next generation.
"This is why it's nice that the young royals are here to enforce that legacy."
The ceremony was one of many held throughout the day, with the Queen attending Crathie Kirk near her Scottish home Balmoral, the Duchess of Cornwall going to Westminster Abbey, Prince Charles visiting a service in Glasgow and Prince Philip attending Sandringham.
Before Prince Harry arrived in Mons he met troops and laid a wreath in Folkestone, Kent, while William and Kate represented the Queen at a service in Liege, the first city the Germans targeted when they invaded Belgium, prompting Britain to declare war.
In solemn tones, William spoke just 30 miles from where German soldiers made their first assault on the Belgian borders at 8am. Addressing European royals, presidents and ambassadors, he said: "We were enemies more than once in the last century and today we are friends and allies.
"We salute those who died to give us our freedom. We will remember them."
He added: "The peace that we here enjoy together as allies and partners does not simply mean no more bloodshed – it means something deeper than that.
"The fact that the presidents of Germany and Austria are here today, and that other nations – then enemies – are here too, bears testimony to the power of reconciliation.
"Not only is war between us unthinkable, but former adversaries have worked together for three generations to spread and entrench democracy, prosperity and the rule of law across Europe, and to promote our shared values around the world."
But in a reminder that conflict is by no means confined to the history books, he added: "The events in Ukraine testify to the fact that instability continues to stalk our continent."
Wife Kate, in a cream McQueen coat dress and a grey and pink Jane Taylor hat, watched from the stage, next to French President Francois Hollande.
It was the first time she and William had taken the Queen's place at a milestone overseas event.
William's heartfelt words were echoed by German President Gauck, who, in a powerful speech, described the German invasion of neutral Belgium as a route into France as "inexcusable".
He said: "The two great wars taught us terrible and bitter lessons.
"Let us show not merely through words, but also through our actions, that we truly learned our lesson."

Goodbye Steel Factory, Hello Casino
"For decades, Georgine Corroda watched from her home across the street as the symbol of the region's pride, the mighty Bethlehem Steel Company, went from an industrial powerhouse to a vacant wasteland.
By the time the company declared bankruptcy in 2001, the blast furnaces had been cold for nine years, the 20,000-strong work force had largely been dispersed and the property tax base had plummeted, along with values of the homes of Ms. Corroda and her neighbors.
Yet on Friday, when the elegant $743 million Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem opened atop the site of the gigantic ore pit, Ms. Corroda was among the first in line with an ear-to-ear grin that exuded optimism for the area that has been lacking for some time."

LATE event: 'A Midsummers Night's Fete' at the Royal Academy of Arts
See the exhibition that everyone's talking about at an exclusive one-off LATE event with Time Out
Float from one dream-like world to the next at the Royal Academy of Arts' exclusive 'Midsummer Night's Fete' LATE event in association with Time Out on Saturday June 21.
Once you step into the courtyard, you'll be handed a complimentary cocktail (courtesy of Fever-Tree) and be transported to a village fete from a bygone era as the Vintage Mafia unveil stalls, yarn bombing installations, and a takeaway van manned by a crack team of poets who will write, perform and hand deliver your very own verse. And that's before you venture inside.
Within the galleries, The Gabby Young Trio will perform a unique mix circus swing surrounded by 1,000 works of art from the Summer Exhibition, and you'll be left to roam free among the oversized flower installations and see art brought to life with live performers wandering around the exhibition space. You'll also get the opportunity to make some art of your own in the 19th century Life Drawing Room before you venture into the normally hidden Victorian vaults of the Academy, where you can party the night away at a silent disco.
Terms and conditions
- Voucher valid for one ticket to 'Midsummer Night's Fete' at the Royal Acadamy of Arts on Saturday June 21 including one drink from Fever Tree.
- Event runs from 6.30pm - 10.30pm with Keepers House open until midnight.
- Please print your voucher and present it on arrival.
- Drinks and bar snacks are available for purchase from Keeper's House.
- You must be over 18 years of age to receive your free alcoholic cocktail. Under 18s will receive a free non-alcoholic drink.

Don't Do Transplants! - Rosemont, IL
I am one of those unlucky individuals who started balding at about age 19. This was back in the early 1970's when long, thick flowing hair was fashionable, and so, when I was about 23 years old, I decided to be an "early adopter" and try hair transplants. After about a year of work, my hair looked somewhat passable. And that's really an exaggeration. It always had to combed "just right",... READ MORE

If you are looking for a dining table that is a bit unexpected, a khaki dining table is a great choice. It's still an unusual color choice for interiors. It is as versatile as any other neutral and it sits somewhere in between cream and brown. A khaki stain can be applied to any natural wood finish to give it a subtle green undertone. Read More
Our selection of khaki dining tables has something for everyone. Whether your style is modern or traditional, there is a khaki dining table for you.
Try a traditional dining table in a khaki finish. Nothing sets the stage for an elegant dinner party like a large wood dining table. Beautiful turned wood legs and carved details set this real hardwood table apart.
For a casual take on the classic table, consider an oval dining table that sits at counter height. This is a great choice for a relaxed eating area that is adjacent to the kitchen or entertainment center. A raised table recalls relaxed pub style dining and is the perfect spot to hang out and watch the game. The khaki oak finish is a great fit for West Coast or Craftsman inspired homes.
If you need to save on space, choose a small round table. A round table is a great fit for small apartments. It can seat up to four people but it doesn't take up too much valuable floor space. Choose a round khaki dining table with an extension leaf to expand the table when you are entertaining.
Cymax has a huge collection of top rated home and office furniture at discount prices. We offer free shipping on most items and no sales tax (some restrictions apply) so that you know you are always bringing home a bargain.

As the qualifying date rapidly approaches, state Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain's Baton Rouge campaign office is the picture of tranquility on a recent weekday afternoon.
The phones are silent. College-age volunteers are nowhere to be found. Most of Strain's campaign signs are stacked in an Abita Springs warehouse rather than fading in the sun on supporters' lawns.
The problem is not that Strain is lagging in the polls, but that no one appears to be running against him in the Oct. 22 primary.
"It looks like there's no opposition, and it certainly won't be me," said Wayne Carter, who vied for the job in 2007.
State Rep. Noble Ellington, R-Winnsboro, said reports of him jumping into the race are greatly exaggerated.
Ellington announced during the recent legislative session that he would not seek another term in the Louisiana House.
Since then, he said, rumors are swirling that he plans to become state agriculture commissioner, the governor's chief of staff or head of the Office of Group Benefits.
None of the rumors are true, Ellington said.
"I'm probably going to be on my porch at my house," he said. "I'm not running for anything."
Strain is not alone in running in a seemingly one-candidate race. The races for state insurance commissioner and even governor are generating little buzz less than three weeks before candidates officially put their names on the October ballot.
Shreveport demographer Elliott Stonecipher blames the struggling economy.
"I think we all might be surprised how many people are unopposed when qualifying closes," he said.
Four years ago, the Republican Strain and two other candidates challenged Bob Odom, a Democrat who had held the job for 28 years.
Odom polled 41 percent of the vote to Strain's 40 percent in the primary. Knocked out of the runoff were Carter and Transylvania farmer Don Johnson, each of whom received less than 200,000 votes.
On the campaign trail, Odom faced questions about a long-standing criminal case against him and about using state employees for construction projects.
Odom, who had not been in a runoff since he was elected in 1979, dropped his bid for an eighth term after the primary.
Strain estimates he spent more than $1 million on the race against Odom. The most recent campaign finance report for the upcoming election shows he spent roughly $24,000 between April and July of this year.
The race against Odom entailed a staff that included consultants, fundraisers and aides. This time around, Strain is making do with two paid campaign staffers.
The phone system just was installed at his Baton Rouge campaign headquarters. The headquarters is furnished more like a home than an office. Strain sleeps there when he does not want to make the drive back to his Covington home.
"I have been going to parades and doing all that stuff," Strain said. "A lot of the signs are sitting out of the sun in a warehouse ready to go."
The job of Louisiana commissioner of agriculture and forestry officially calls for promoting, protecting and advancing "agriculture and forestry, and soil and water resources."
The agency is tasked with monitoring plant disease, regulating the scales that weigh fruit at grocery stores, protecting food supplies and conserving the forests.
The job pays $115,000 a year.
Strain's tenure as agriculture commissioner coincided with tough budget times for the state. He said he cut staff, the agency's vehicle fleet and other expenses. He is trying to make a syrup mill that Odom built work.
He also is grappling with another Odom-era project that cratered and left the state possibly liable for $3 million.
For now, though, Strain is focused on the election and on the big party he plans to throw at the Louisiana State Museum in downtown Baton Rouge on the final day of qualifying.
An invitation for the event promises "family, food (and) fun."
"We're going to have a grand celebration. We're going to have a party," Strain said. "If no one runs against me, it's going to be a grand celebration that the election is done."

We were generally pleased with everything, especially the service and friendliness of the staff, and the coffee was AWESOME!! However, even though we reserved a SMOKING room, the room had an extremely strong smell of smoke. Just needs to be deodorized more aggressively. One of us is a smoke and one of us is not. We reserved a smoking room because of the time of year and the chance that the weather would be very cold.
Otherwise, we will be sure to stay there again.

Author | Noor Fathima Warsia | Monday, Aug 16,2010 8:26 AM
The year began with the news of some mammoth account movements – Colgate Palmolive being the biggest at the time. First the corporate major moved its media business by taking it out of TME and parking it in MEC (earlier known as Mediaedge:cia). At the time, the official statement was that after the global realignment of the business with MEC in 2004, the move took place in India six years later due to new contractual agreements that came in play in 2010. Unfortunately, there has been very little elaboration on the nature of these "new contractual agreements".
Even as the dust was settling on this, two weeks back, Colgate Palmolive's creative business was moved out of Rediffusion Y&R. WPP has created a special unit for the business, which would be housed in Bates 141. The development would effective in October 2010. Given the sheer size and respect of the business, this was very good news for Bates 141 and MEC, and bad news for the Rediffusion Group.
One would wonder what led to this move. Can WPP just decide to move a business and move it? Yes of course, as long as the client is on the same page and perhaps more easily when it is shifting the business between its own agencies. I repeat the perhaps, because it is never easy to just move businesses given the strings attached. The Colgate case becomes interesting because WPP is only a minority partner in the Rediffusion Group. For the sake of the relation, it would be much tougher to move the business without giving the impression that WPP is losing interest in the businesses where it has a minority stake. Is that an area of concern though when the client in question is Colgate Palmolive? Probably not.
One thing is for certain – someone sitting in the WPP headquarters is monitoring WPP's relations and international client businesses very closely. This simple move of Colgate has suddenly added significant muscle to two wholly owned WPP companies, and that means more for the company at the end of the day. Whether WPP had a role to play in it or not but the conversations of Airtel consolidating its creative business with JWT India too is good news for the company. And these are wins without pitches.
There also are some unpleasant questions that come in the wake of such moves. For instance, what of the teams that were working on Colgate in Rediffusion and TME? A pitch process is a warning bell of sorts but in such cases, are the teams sensitised enough? Who is the point person who ensures the building of a new relation both from the client and the agency sides?
If there was anything that could be more frightening than the incessant pitching that was seen in the year, it is a move like Colgate. It is not a win-win-win situation. And it is difficult to understand why the loser lost...

Sterling, 21, has been granted time off by Pep Guardiola as he recovers from a calf injury.
The forward missed England's 2-0 win over Malta on Saturday but has clearly been enjoying his time off.
The pair traveled to Spain together for a relaxing trip abroad and have been keeping fans updated on their progress through a series of social-media posts.
Milian, rumoured to be an Arsenal fan, is Sterling's latest crush after the youngster previously dated Shana Ann Rose Halliday.
Despite missing the the Three Lions international fixtures this week, Sterling will be hoping to be back fit for City's home clash against Everton on October 15.
The starlet has impressed this term after bagging five goals and six assists in 10 matches.
His performances have helped guide the Etihad outfit to top-spot in the Premier League after taking 18 points from their first seven games.

Awesome article, Kelly!
It's great to hear how others have made money online. Gives folks ideas of what can be done. There's no reason why folks can't pick up extra side $$ or main $$ online.
Me, I made my first $100 by Ghost Writing for WoodWorkBoss.com a woodworking site.
I used to teach woodworking in the '90's. Back then I NEVER thought I'd be making money writing about it.
Looking forward to more great stuff!

Whew! This heat is killing me. I have started running again, which I've been enjoying, but I'm not getting as far as I would like with this heat and humidity, that and my sinuses/allergies are KILLING ME!
This heat makes me extra grateful for everyone in the military who is deployed or has deployed to the middle east, (like Mr. Husband).
Every time you think about how hot it is, say a prayer for everyone serving in the military :)
That thought helps me to not feel sorry for myself!
But seriously, is it autumn yet???

Ankara, Sep 4 () - Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan has harshly slammed the West over "insensitivity" amid the growing refugee crisis, while announcing the "joint fight against global terrorism" as a key issue to be discussed during the G-20 Summit in Turkey mid-November.
"European countries that turned the Mediterranean Sea, the cradle of the one of the world's most ancient civilizations, into a grave, are part of the sin of the death of every single refugee" Erdoğan said Sept. 3, speaking at the opening ceremony of the B20 conference, a part of Turkey's G-20 term presidency.
"The body of a three-year-old boy who died on a boat carrying refugees in the Mediterranean Sea washed up on our shores. Won't humanity give an account of this three-year-old child?" the president said.
"What drowned in the sea were not only refugees, but our humanity," Erdoğan said. "These are our values that are being drowned in the Mediterranean. Every single refugee who has become the subject of inhumane treatment on the borders, and who are even sent to death intentionally through sinking boats, is the bitter symbol of this reality."
The president said the images of the refugees were touching the hearts of Turkish people but he had "never observed regret or conscience in the hearts of those who leave them dead."

A friend and I were talking about how much we spent just for the Christmas cards and the postal charges. She finally had to make some smart move by sending one card for everybody in the office back in Holland, because there are too many people on her list, and that means she could have easily spent fortune. Another friend from Indonesia sent numbers of cards in one package to his dad who will have to send them to designated addresses, and even that, due to the weight of the document he already spent a lot.
I have sent Christmas cards to my friends back in Indonesia. I know it will take at least 2 weeks, sometimes longer, or just like last year, one didn't arrive at all, for the cards to arrive so I have sent them early this month. But then something struck me when I was queuing at the post office.
I never get any cards from my friends in Indonesia. Not Christmas, not birthday, not Ied. The only person who sent me postcard was my grandmother – she received a postcard from me and immediately sent one back – and my parents, of couse, who make sure my birthday card arrive on time so they send it with DHL. The rest always say that I always go back to Indonesia anyway, so they'd wait me until I get there and they could give me the cards, or the presents. Never mind if it's months late. I do get cards from friends who live elsewhere, but none from Indonesia.
Back in high school, I spent weeks of trying to find the perfect Ied and Christmas cards (Gunung Agung and Gramedia were the best choice back then, before Sogo and its Hallmark counters appeared) for everybody, to write the inspirational messages inside the cards, and to send them on time. Ied was easier because my parents send thousands of cards and I just needed to put my pile of cards on theirs and they would have someone to do it. But for other occasions I had to go to the post office myself. I still remember the particular post office I regularly visited back in Indonesia, the high ceiling that caused every words echoed back to our ears, the smell of cheap glue they put on big tables because the stamps aren't sticky, the dirty tables and jars of glue I dared not to touch because it looked like pot of viruses but I had to since I always forgot to bring my U-hu, the sad looking officers who were neither rude or friendly, just bored, and the huge bill that forced me to dig deeper for the next month.
It was fun. Especially when I received the cards back from those friends. I collected them all and put them somewhere safe.
Then the era of mobile phone comes and I see it before my very eyes the culture is shifted. Everyone in Indonesia suddenly stops sending cards to each other. SMS and MMS are much cheaper, faster, and easier. We don't need to spend time to find the cards and could go to spa instead. We don't need to tip our office boy Rp 5,000 after sending him to the post office because we are too posh to do it ourselves. We don't need to queue at the smelly dingy post office and we could sit down at the nice restaurant for our precious lunch break. And we don't need to spend Rp 3,000 for postal charge to a friend who lives around the corner. SMS and MMS only cost less than Rp 5,000 and despite there is no guarantee our friend will receive the text, thanks to the brilliant service of our mobile providers, they are faster than the post.
It is in our blood. We always want something easy. If we can pay more to get our driving license, why bother stopping the corruption process and paying the normal price but having to take the test? If we can always get something to eat outside or by our maid whose monthly salary equals to one pair of shoes, why bother learning to cook? If we can live in the hotel during Ramadhan whilst our maid is in kampung (village), why bother risking our smooth hands to cleaning the house? If we can sit down in our living room, sending SMS and MMS, with the words copied from the text we receive before, and pretend we care, why bother jumping out of the air conditioned car to join the queue in the post office?
But when I went to Australia I quickly adopted the the 'Western' culture back of sending cards, and the habit doesn't stop when I was back in Jakarta. I must admit I did the SMS and MMS for Christmas and Ied for friends but birthday is always a special ocassion and I try to make sure I send the cards to those who celebrate their special days. And after moving to UK, I still think that it is important to show that I care even though I am 12 thousand kilometer away from them, so I keep sending postcards and birthday cards and gifts.
I forget that we are generation of SMS and MMS. Unless we are the important enough in the company – with the obligation to send cards to colleagues, partners, and clients (I have seen my dad spending the whole Sunday just to sign Ied and Christmas cards, he has a list of cards he received the year before and makes sure he sends the cards back, and another list of people he has to send cards to), SMS and MMS are considered 'enough'. We will receive the actual cards if we are important enough to our clients or vendors. My drawer in the office was usually full of Ied and Christmas cards from my suppliers and contractors. But not from my friends and peers. Just SMS and MMS.
But isn't it sad, having spent money and time to ensure our bosses, partners and clients to receive the cards, but forget that those will be around as long as we are the boss of the company, as long as we matter to them? If we change jobs, if we move, if we die, we will be off their list quicker than yesterday's newspaper. Friends, on the other hand, whom we treat by SMS and MMS, will be there for us, whether we are still having the shiny thick name cards or not.
Last year and this year I made sure my close friends to receive their birthday cards and gifts from UK. I don't see the reason why I have to wait until I am back in Indonesia if their big day is now (can we have the same reason, like holding Christmas card until March when we are back in our home country and give them to our friends in person. Three months late is nothing, right?).
This month, which isn't particularly sunny, with rains and cold wind, I have to push myself to queue at the post office for at least 45 minutes before getting served (yeah, no office boy, no driver, no courier). But I think it is worthy. Because my friends are important to me. Because they matter.
And, as usual, I am holding my breath if I would get SMS, email, and e-cards in return.

Lenasia: Sri Lanka batted itself into a solid position on Friday after the complete loss of the morning session in the first of a four-day match against the Rest of South Africa. Sri Lanka ended the day on 226 for four at Lenasia Stadium outside Johannesburg.
The tourists won the toss and elected to bat on a soggy pitch after rain seeped under the covers, making play impossible during the morning session. When the players came off nearly five overs early because of bad light Mahela Jayawardene and Hashan Tillekaratne had put on an unbeaten fifth wicket partnership of 89. The majority of the top order got among the runs but they failed to convert them into a substantial innings, the SAPA news agency reported. It was a disastrous start for Russel Arnold as he found himself snared in front by Garnett Kruger with the last ball of the first over. Kruger struck again in the 20th over, running out Kumar Sangakkara - 40 off 52 deliveries -- with a direct hit. His accuracy broke up a dangerous second wicket partnership of 77 that had developed with opener Marvin Atapattu. Atapattu whose innings was slightly more subdued -- 36 off 82 balls with five boundaries -- followed with the addition of only one more run - caught by Jon Kent at first-slip off Pierre Joubert. The tea interval proved to be the downfall of captain Sanath Jayasuriya, still feeling the effects of the dislocated shoulder sustained in a tournament in Morocco. His 33 off 47 balls, 28 coming in boundaries, contained some glorious strokes off both the front and back foot, but going for one boundary too many, he was caught in the covers by Hashim Amla, seven balls after the break.
