I arrived late in the evening and they gave me the most incredible, huge, presidential-style suite, with 5 rooms - maybe 1500 sq feet? I could not believe it. Probably sold out all the other cheaper rooms, but it was definitely the best room I've ever had. Unfortunately I only stayed for less than 12 hours, so didn't get to use it as much as I would have liked. Another thing I appreciated was that I got sick and couldn't make my first night reservation and had to cancel within the allotted 24 hr timeframe. But the Ritz Carlton did not charge me for that first night. They waived it. That was very helpful. Their service is 5 star. The only downside to this hotel is that I do not believe it is handicapped friendly. You cannot get from the lobby area to your room without going down stairs. Of course there are porters to carry your luggage, but I wonder if they have some way for people in wheelchairs to get to their rooms?
very comfortable room, very responsive staff, centrally located, quiet.
It is a well situated hotel with a very good restaurant
Bra läge 25 min promenad till Vita huset och övriga sevärdheter. Rent och bra service.
Frukosten, rum med möjlighet att koka kaffe, stora rum och relativt bra läge. Fri internetuppkoppling,. Dålig hastighet på Internetuppkopplingen samt IP leverantör som spärrade användande av extern proxyserver
Läget är utomordentligt och stadsdelen fin. Allt fungerade väl och det fanns strykjärn på rummet. Trafikljudet från den stora gatan var mycket störande. Rummet var också mycket varmt och gick inte att ventilera ut ordentligt.
Att hotellet låg centralt med närhet till Georgetown där det nästan finns folkliv dygnet runt. Och ändå stördes vi inte av ljud. Vidare var det otroligt skönt att ha en rymlig lägenhet och möjlighet att använda båda rummen som sovrum - vilket vi utnyttjade. Det är klart att frukostmiljön kan göras fräschare med lite snyggare möbler och design. Den lokalen var inte i paritet med resten av hotellet. Det vore också läckert om man kunde lyfta upp gymmet på en av toppvåningarna. Det här hotellet har potential som inte utnyttjas tycker jag. och det skulle kunna ske till en låg investeringskostnad.
Utmärkt bemötande, bra service
Nice bed and bathroom area. Staff was nice! The window treatments did not cover entire window. The rooms are paper thin meaning the outside of the room is able to be heard and will wake you up. It was so bad that you could hear low voice conversations as well.
Our room was clean. Room extremely small. Limited closet and bathroom space.
Nice bed and bathroom area. Staff was nice! The window treatments did not cover entire window. The rooms are paper thin meaning the outside of the room is able to be heard and will wake you up. It was so bad that you could hear low voice conversations as well.
We enjoy the location, shops near by, the sight around, people were very friendly, too much to do in such a short time. Well, we tought the parking was included in our bill, but apparently it wasn't. It would be nice if you let us know beforehand.
The bed was great. I was surprised to not have to pay for valet parking aside from the gratuity. The location is great but the rooms are noisy. All night I heard the TV and bathroom in the next room. I could also hear people walking and talking in the hallway. I know it is an old hotel but these are not things I would expect given the price. Also the check-in time is to late in the day. The service in the Grill was horrible. They seemed completely overwhelmed with the number of tables being serve. I actually had to go looking for our waitress to get my tab. Again, not what I would have expected. Bottom line - over priced and not recommended.
Excellent location, friendly staff, didn't mind the small room. Lots of early morning noise outside the windows and also from the floor above.
Everything Nothing
location small bathroom
Room was clean,comfortable and private, water pressure in bathtub was good. Cafeteria in first floor was a plus. No refrigerator in room, very small closet, and yes you can hear nosises at times depending on how loud your neighbors are. No free WIFi in rooms? Only in lobby...that is soo 2008.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Japan Display will start making LCD screens for a 4.7-inch Apple (AAPL) iPhone as early as May, while Sharp and LG display production should begin in June, according to Reuters' Tokyo bureau.
But production on displays for the 5.5-inch models will likely start several months later because of challenges in creating in-cell touch sensors for the displays; these have been used in recent iPhone models. News surfaced last week that Sharp would increase production on iPhone 6 LCD screens as soon as the second quarter.
The Wall Street Journal reported in February that Apple could also release two larger models down the line and noted the smaller model is further along in development.
Apple was up 0.42% to $539 at 12:09 p.m. on Tuesday.
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.
TheStreet Ratings team rates APPLE INC as a "buy" with a ratings score of B+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate APPLE INC (AAPL) a BUY. This is driven by several positive factors, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."

Exclusive pic: Mick Wallace beats the Good Friday booze ban
Mick Wallace was at Aviva Stadium to see Ireland beat Switzerland, and he took advantage of the open bar to beat the traditional Good Friday booze ban.
The Aviva Stadium was packed with happy Irish fans last night and it wasn't just the 1-0 win that had them singing along Lansdowne Road.
With the game being played on one of the two days a year in Ireland that pubs and off licences are closed, the stadium was one of the few places in the country where you could get a legal pint yesterday and Wexford TD Mick Wallace joined thousands of other Ireland fans by taking advantage of the game to get a drink in.
Cheers Mick!

Form formatting is different when embedded to FB fan page tabAsked by Grady on March 19, 2014 at 01:36 AM
Hi Guys,
I've created a form for a facebook tab. The preview is great but when I copy the code into the tab the formatting doesn's hold. Please help! I have used 2 different platforms Woo box and Thunderpenny and both have the same result so the issue is with Jotform.
As you can see from the attachments I want the form to show side by side however when pasted into the static tab html platforms the formating doesnt reflect the preview that I am shown of jotform
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
JotForm Support
Hi Grady,
The formatting is fine here. You have it as an iFrame to the page so that should work fine to the fan page tab.
I have cleared your forms cache (How to Clear your Form Cache). Please kindly check if that resolves the issue.

Clotheslines offer a convenient way to dry laundry while saving money on electricity. Whether coated in vinyl or plastic or made of nylon, most clotheslines will eventually begin to wear and fray. Rather than replace the entire line, cut away the damaged section and splice the two ends together with a simple overhand knot that holds tight and minimizes slippage.
Things You'll Need
- Sharp knife
- Matches or lighter
Cut away frayed or damaged ends of the clothesline with a knife so you have clean cuts on each end.
Hold the two ends together so both point in the same direction.
Bend the line into a loop and insert the two ends through the loop. Pull tightly.
Cut the ends close to the knot.
Hold a burning match or lighter to the ends of the spliced line for a few seconds to melt the vinyl or plastic coating or nylon tips. This will reduce fraying.

Recently ranked as one of the top 22 Spectacular Places Around The World, Moraine Lake in Canada's Rocky Mountains is a special kind of place.
History Lesson – Explorer Walter Wilcox came across the valley in 1899 and named the lake after the large moraine (or rock pile) deposited at the end of the lake by the Wenkchemna Glacier. Within 5 years a road had already been etched through the valley from Lake Louise and over the next 100 years the view of the valley become one of the great Canadian icons.
Today, the lake attracts thousands of visitors daily in the high season of July and August, however the majority of these hang around the Lake Lodge cafe / gift store and the lookout on top the moraine. Not many stray away from here so follow our tips below for a super Moraine Lake visit that you will never forget and will leave you itching to return.
Location – Banff Nation Park, Alberta, Canada.
Get there – 25 minute Hitchhike from Lake Louise. Or walk / cycle from Lake Louise along signposted route through the forest. Further info at end of page.
Price – Free, pristine nature dude.
Essentials – Warm clothes (especially in the evenings), enough "ohhhs" and "aaahhhhs" in your vocabulary so as to portray how taken aback you are by the scenery.
Facilities – Small cafe selling refreshments and lunch snacks with WC. Exceedingly expensive dinner restaurant in the mountain lodge.
Firstly, don't just hang around the main lookout point, keep walking past the Lake Lodge and along the path beside the lake. You will instantly be in the heart of nature and in quieter times you certainly won't come across too many tourists.
- The months of May and early June are quiet. Late September is beautiful as the surrounding forests fashion a golden hue and fresh snow rests around the lake.
- During peak season, arrive very early in the morning to watch the sun light up the peaks. This is also the best time to see Black Bears and other wildlife.
- Alternatively, come late in the evening after 5PM. Most tourist convoys have moved out and it's mostly lodge guests and some others around. Very tranquil time of day and the lake is at it's most peaceful. Reading a book on the canoe dock is a particular highlight.
- Come at say, 1PM in the high of tourist season and expect tailbacks, a hopeless search for parking and maddening crowds around the moraine and the lodge! Agh!
So, it's a Lake, what now?!
Canoeing on the Lake is pure delight. An expensive delight but if you got the cash – around $60, it should be a definite! The canoes can fit up to four people, and paddling through the pristine blue glacial waters is a great way to experience true isolation in the Rockies. Paddle up towards the end of the lake and the only sounds will be the gently patting of the paddle, the soft wind through the trees and the occasional dramatic crashing noise of a rockfall somewhere around the valley. BOOM!
There are a number of popular hiking trails around the lake. The most popular are to Larch Valley (4 hour round trip) and the other to Constellation Lakes (2 hour round trip). A really tough, but short scramble, is up to the Tower of Babel, which overlooks the Lake. This is one heck of a steep climbs, but the views are amazing and you can even watch TV on the top (you'll understand when you get there).
The Constellation Lakes trail is very easy yet it provides glorious lush open meadows, two beautifully still lakes and the glacial covered cliff faces of Mount Quadra. Anybody can make this trek from young to old and we would highly recommend it if you are short on time and wish to get away from the crowds.
Another popular route but moderately difficult trail is up to Larch Valley, which gives sweeping 360° views of the Ten Peaks and a glorious view over the lake. In Autumn it is particularly beautiful when the larch tree needles turn from a lush green to a golden yellow.
But, where do I sleep?!
It is currently strictly forbidden to camp around the lake and rangers are regularly on alert due to a number of Grizzly Bears in the area. If you arrive late in the evening by campervan or car you can sneakily park up for the night. Insider tip – make friends with the Lake Lodge staff (from all over the world), share a few beers, get invited back to their pool room and maybe you'll get lucky and get a couch to crash on 🙂
The cheapest accommodation in Lake Louise village is at the HI Hostel where a very comfortable dorm bed costs around $29 per night. Try get a room that doesn't face the railroad….Honk Honk!
In the future (when we're all rich) you can splash out on a Moraine Lake Lodge wooden cabin, prices for their their 2 night Getaway package begin at a whopping $1,255 Canadian….oofff!!
Moraine Lake Lodge has a cafe serving snacks and drinks however we would advise you bring some of your own as it's fairly expensive and the food isn't great. Bring some lunch and find a secluded spot along the the lake and simply enjoy a picnic in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Further down in Lake Louise village, options are limited but we'd recommend the Timberwolf Pizza and Pasta bar or the Bill Pyeto cafe at Lake Louise youth hostel which are inexpensive in comparison to most other places in the town. The Timberwolf also does dam good cocktails! Of course you can find plenty more options in the main town of Banff.
- Numerous domestic and International airlines offer flights to Calgary (YYC), 3 hours from Moraine Lake.
- Greyhound offer regular services to Lake Louise from Calgary, Vancouver and all over Canada. Fares from Calgary start at $18. There's no bus to Moraine Lake but you can easily hitch a 20 minute ride to the lake.
- Hitch-hiking from Calgary: Catch a city bus 408 to Valley Ridge, on the western outskirts of the city. From here it's possible to hitch-hike on the TransCanada highway all the way to Lake Louise. It's very easy to hitch rides to and from Calgary.

Skip to comments.UK threatens to storm embassy to get Assange
Posted on 08/16/2012 12:13:16 AM PDT by bruinbirdman
Britain threatened to storm Ecuadors London embassy on Wednesday in order to arrest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is seeking political asylum in the South American country. Quito said a decision would be announced Thursday.
The diplomatic standoff over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange escalated on Wednesday after Britain threatened to raid Ecuadors embassy in London if Quito did not hand over Assange, who has been taking refuge there for two months.
The Ecuadorean government said such an action would be considered a hostile and intolerable act as well as a violation of its sovereignty.
Under British law we can give them a weeks notice before entering the premises and the embassy will no longer have diplomatic protection, a Foreign Office spokesman said.
But that decision has not yet been taken. We are not going to do this overnight. We want to stress that we want a diplomatically agreeable solution.
Quito bristled at the threat and said it would announce its decision on Assanges asylum request on Thursday at 7 a.m. (1200 GMT).
We want to be very clear, were not a British colony. The colonial times are over, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino said in an angry statement after a meeting with President Rafael Correa.
The move announced in the official British statement, if it happens, would be interpreted by Ecuador as an unfriendly, hostile and intolerable act, as well as an attack on our sovereignty, which would force us to respond in the strongest diplomatic way, Patino told reporters.
Ecuador, whose government is part of a left-leaning bloc of nations in South America, called for meetings of regional foreign ministers and the hemispheric Organization of American States to rally support in its complaint against Britain.
We are deeply shocked by British governments threats against the sovereignty of the Ecuadorean
(Excerpt) Read more at france24.com ...
First of all, contrary to the generally held but incorrect view commonly held, an Embassy is NOT owned by the foreign power whose embassy it is. It is NOT their sovereign territory, and therefore a raid upon it is NOT a threat to their sovereignty, and nor can it be construed as a hostile act. Secondly, Ecuador is not and never has been a British Colony, so the Ecuadoran attempt to rally opposition to this action by bringing up colonialism is simply a blatant attempt to hide from their legal duties. As for hostile acts, I consider their tissue of lies and innuendo a hostile act.
Just tell a member state you want someone. No warrant necessary.
Since xenophobia is a crime in EU, most FReepers could be arrested anywhere on the continent and ordered to France if some Kermit doesn't like what has been written on this forum.

Ecuador would be wise to talk to Argentina before making any more threats against England...
I was fortunate enough to spend time with the SAS, the Ecuadorians might have cause to worry.
Who dares mutinies: How the SAS defied orders to launch the most audacious rescue of the Iraq war
In the 1990s or so, an American that sold Nazi literature from the US, was snatched when he went on a trip to Holland, and was turned over the Germans, he was sent to prison, and there was media silence, I don't recall ever hearing anything in the MSM about it.
You weren't in Tehran back in '79 by chance, were you?
You werent in Tehran back in 79 by chance, were you?
Good point
Although no one here is happy with Assange weaseling out....it would not behoove the Brits to storm the Ecuadorian embassy to get Assange.
Not only it would violate all forms of diplomatic protocol....it would PO every Latin American nation. The retalliation against the Brits would be worse
Any Brit travelling in Latin America would need to learn how to speak "like an American or Canadian" if they want to keep their head attached to their shoulders
Also, it would give Argentina more "support" and push from its fellow SA nations in their Racist Reconquista of the Falklands
Sooner or later they will get tired of feeding this a-wipe.
I trust that Britain has already removed its Ambassador, its embassy staff and all British subjects from Ecuador in advance of this action.
they ought to consider how we got noriega from the vatican embassy: blockaded it, surrounded it with loudspeakers, and played "I fought the law..."
I don't know is Assange is worth the trouble of storming the embassy. While I view him as a criminal, he's not Bin-Laden. But he has to leave sometime. There will be opportunities in the future to grab this worthless crud.
They'll write an angry letter. Do it Brittania. Do it.
You have to read way down in the article to see Asange is accused of rape by two wikileaks "supporters." And the article doesn't say it was male rape (I think). but it doesn't mattter. It is the seriousness of the charge that matters.
Is it against the Geneva convention to play Yoko Ono?
Eek - to be delivered into the hands of monsieur Jean Crapaud! No way, no how man!
But I understand your meaning. However civilised nations dont let their criminal element swarm over diplomats.
yuck-o? ohNO!
now that's too cruel...

PingHurry is a free visual Ping tool
Ping is the most basic of networking troubleshooting tools, and easy enough to use, but its standard text output is, well, a little limited. Endless tables of figures make it more difficult for you to spot issues, and to convey them to someone else.
PingHurry could make your life easier by displaying ping results in graphical, as well as text form. It's a simple visual ping tool for Windows 7+, portable and entirely free.
Unzip the program, launch it, and – it immediately minimises to the system tray, annoyingly. Click its icon, though, and a straightforward console appears. Enter your destination address, click Ping and it immediately goes to work.
By default the results first appear in a scrolling graph. You can select a section of this graph to zoom in, or toggle it between a 2D and 3D view by double-clicking. It's not configurable in any way (colours, title, font etc), but just having a visual view of your data may be useful, and you can also send this to the clipboard with a click.
If you need the raw text data then that's also available on a separate tab. This can also be copied to the clipboard on demand, or opened directly in Notepad.
If Ping isn't enough then there are buttons to run various tasks on the target address or local system: Trace Route, Reverse Lookup, RDP, IPconfig, Flush DNS and more. These don't appear to do anything more than run the relevant Windows command line tool and display its output in the Results window, but they may still be useful.
PingHurry also provides shortcuts to open these tools in a command window, and there are buttons to launch various Windows applets: Network Center, Windows Firewall, Internet Properties and so on.
The program has some interface issues. It remembers your previous target addresses, for instance, but these can't be selected initially from a list. Instead you must start to type something (a problem if you can't remember the address), then choose what you need from a list of matches.
PingHurry also appears on top of all other windows, whether you need that or not (this can't be turned off). And perhaps because of this, the program automatically minimises itself to the system tray when you launch some other task. Click "Results > Notepad", say, and – it's gone. You can call it back with a (reconfigurable) hotkey, but that really shouldn't be necessary.
Oddly, it doesn't seem possible to close the program directly from its console, either: you're forced to right-click the system tray icon and select Exit.
PingHurry works reasonably well for version 1.0, though, and there's no reason all these issues couldn't be resolved in the next release. Even now, it's simple and easy enough to use, and if you need a basic visual Ping tool then it's worth a closer look.

Flat out and caffeinated
Essence of luxury ... the exotic theme adds to the calming effects
of Gaia Retreat and Spa.
Dugald Jellie scrubs up well at a retreat with showbiz good looks and New Age spirituality.
I am lying on my back and being scrubbed in coffee. It's 100 per cent arabica, ground and rubbed on my legs and arms and even behind my ears. Already I've been steamed and feel delightfully frothy. The organic beans, in a paste of black sesame and macadamia nut oils, are smeared all over my skin. I think of myself as a big macchiato.
It's dusk in the lumpy hills beyond Byron Bay and I'm having a body polish. I do not want this moment to end. Brigette, a beauty and remedial therapist from Bavaria, massages me with fine coffee granules that exfoliate my every exposed pore. I only hope, this late in the day, that she does me in decaf.
Gaia Retreat and Spa is the boutique luxury resort where my day's pleasures begin with a morning cup of lemon myrtle tea and end with an hour-long coffee rub-down. I can see myself becoming addicted, wanting two scrubs a day, with a milk bath.
Not an hour after check-in and already I'm barefoot on a Balinese day lounge reading a guide to crystal gems and minerals. I walk in a garden of tropical rhododendrons and theatrical bromeliads. I meet a dog called Gio ("short for Giorgio Armani"), an Italian breed that sniffs truffles, who I later see on the cover of Australian Women's Weekly in the arms of the resort's co-owner, Olivia Newton-John.
Gaia is that sort of place: a tasteful synergy of New Age spirituality, showbiz good looks and five-star pampering. "We're not a boot camp," says general manager Gregg Cave, a former TV soapie star who set up the retreat three years ago with his friend from her days before Grease. "Most guests come here for time out. They come to de-stress and get back in harmony with themselves."
I've come as a lotus-eater to enjoy 24 hours of pleasure-seeking in the name of research. I am to report on a retreat voted favourite South Pacific hotel spa in the 2008 Conde Nast Traveller readers' poll and where Delta (as in Goodrem) writes in the guest book: "I had a magical time at Gaia, a place on Earth you feel free to be you and to connect back to the universe."
But I'm here for reasons also of science. I had looked up the Bureau of Meteorology's website to find the warmest place in NSW in winter. It is Murwillumbah, mentioned on the TV weather report on about 36 of the 90-odd days of winter, with an average daily top of 21.6 degrees. That's about the same temperature I'd set the thermostat to warm up, if I had a thermostat.
I check the atlas, tap key words into Google ("luxury", "spa", "yoga", "no children", "papaya") and decide the place best suited to my layabout needs is 54 kilometres south of Murwillumbah (or about an hour's drive from Gold Coast Airport) is called Gaia (which in Greek mythology refers to "mother earth") and has at least one of its 20 twin-share rooms available.
"Most winter clients come from Melbourne," says manager Leanne Schoen, who greets me with a pot of herbal tea, a daily schedule she calls the "dance card" and inquiries about food allergies and old football injuries. "We find about 70 per cent of guests come alone and it's about 70 per cent women."
Choices of self-gratification seem endless. The day spa, among other balms, has a hot granite stone treatment, sea-salt polish, cocoa and mango butter masque, hot-oil head wrap and Hawaiian kahuna massage. There's meditation or shiatsu. I pass on Qi Gong, not because I don't like it but because I'm not sure exactly what it is (although I do know "qi" is in the Official Scrabble Words Dictionary, which is handy if you're stuck with a "q").
I ponder all my possibilities: from bee pollen and psyllium husks on stewed rhubarb for breakfast to whale watching after lunch or a milk-and-rose-petal bath. I decide on a double serving of sago pudding with coconut cream and palm sugar for dessert that I'll work off later on the tennis court. I think I've found paradise and it has views to Lennox Head.
"It takes 24 hours to truly unwind," Cave says. "Men are the first ones that really need to be switched off. It's after about three days that the full Gaia effect takes hold."
But I feel it by lunch. At the Samoan-style longhouse, eating spelt pasta with garlic, roast walnuts and a spinach pesto, I talk of yoga positions with a sixtysomething Melbourne art gallery owner, a Sydney-based HR manager and husband-and-wife cotton farmers from Moree. We discuss the merits of the eco-chic cabins with no telephones or TV. I am persuaded that stripping down for an organic coffee polish may well change my life.
I spend the afternoon frolicking in the heated saltwater pool. I smell the flowering gardenias, practise my frog kick and listen to currawongs warble.
Then the body polish. I change into a disposable black G-string that surely must look hilarious. I wear a cotton robe into the massage room. I am steamed and scrubbed and rubbed in coffee, from tip to toe, with a warm flannel over my face and thoughts of relaxation so hypnotic that I dribble.
I rinse off, open my eyes. A golden Buddha smiles at me. My skin glistens. Five aromatic candles burn by the door. I think tonight I'll make a wish on a falling star. For more coffee scrubs.

Brisbane playmaker Anthony Milford is determined to turn his NRL grand final agony into a positive.
The five-eighth says his stellar 2016 form has nothing to do with the sting of being banned from Queensland State of Origin selection for 12 months after breaking curfew at an emerging players camp earlier this year.
Instead it's the more intense pain of the golden point defeat to North Queensland in last year's decider which is spurring Milford to new heights.
The 21-year-old has been a crucial element in the Broncos charge to the top end of the ladder, leading the way for the club in several key attacking stats.
No-one at Red Hill has more tries (8), more linebreak assists (10) or tackle busts (40) than the talented ex-Canberra half.
Milford also has 10 try assists in 2016 and turned match-winner in an epic grand final replay against the Cowboys earlier this year with a 40m golden point field goal.
"The way we missed out last year is what's driving me," Milford said.
"Just a fear of failure and the boys are working too hard to let them down, that's what keeps me going."
Milford, who sat out the representative weekend after reportedly being blocked from playing for Samoa by Broncos coach Wayne Bennett, says he made the most of the week off to refresh himself.
The Broncos play Manly at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday in what is a home match for the Sea Eagles.
With three tries and two try assists in his past five match against the Sea Eagles, Milford will be full of confidence he can deliver another match-winning hand on the path to removing that grand final pain.
"That's one thing I told myself this year, just try to enjoy my footy as much as I can and I think that's showing out there on the field," he said.

Owning a sports bike does give you one super power, you feel like you are the fastest guy on the road.
In truth, your bike is fast, I mean really fast! The dynamics behind a motorcycle are nothing like those in a car if you are not driving a Lambo, that is. On the highway, a sports bike is virtually a bullet; one second you can see him in the mirror, a small insignificant object, the next thing you know; it is past you and the rider laughing at your bewildered look in his mirror!
Sports bikes are built for speed. You cannot ride one slowly at a leisurely pace considering the amount of power driving it forward. If I had a racing bike, I would probably ride at the same pace. Riding the bike is like getting a license to drive a Ferrari without the hassle of worrying about violating speed limits. It is, therefore, no surprise that most bikers think old cars are old museums on wheels! This is probably the reason why bikers are so convinced that all it takes to unleash the beast is merely rotating the handle and fly!
Today, I have a cautionary tale for bikers. If you are ready to hear it, let me start with a warning. If you come across a black 57 Chevy Bel Air, please do not show off! There is a possibility that it is one of the Evil Twins. Who are they? Well, they are two 3,000hp Bel Air Chevies built by Lutz, a father and son team.
The Lutz are professional dragsters who seem to have finally come upon the definition of the word "fast." Their creations, clad in granny vehicle attire, cover a quarter of a mile in a mere 6.7 seconds, hitting the 200 plus mph mark by the time they get to the finish line. Who rules the road now?
This is no joke! You can see how fast one of the Evil Twins shoots from the gas station. Now, imagine the frustration when you realize the blur you saw on the 57 Chevy Bel Air as it catapulted ahead of you says "Sweet, Smooth, and Sassy," when it finally slows down for you. That will tear you to small pieces!

My Reviews
I've been wanting this for years Rated 5 out of 5 stars
I cannot tell you how sick I was of the same 5 or 6 sites popping up every time I look for replacement parts or software, or the same site popping up over and over under different Internet addresses, but having the same graphics, content, layout and prices. Finally I have the power to permanently block any site which does nothing more than reflect my search terms back at me so the page comes up regardless what I'm searching for, put my search terms in some crappy search engine I've never heard of before and gives me a new list of search results, comes up 700 times at 700 addresses, even though it's obviously the same site, uses any means to get me there that I find to be deceptive, inappropriate or misleading or just downright has a habit of delivering crappy content...over and over again, regardless of my search. I have been begging Google to add a similar feature for years. THANK YOU!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.64).

Leighton Meester: Puppy Pee Shy
Leighton Meester, looking her usual exquisitely-porcelain self, took a break on the set of Gossip Girl.
And her dog did as well, lifting its leg as the actress gabbed. Just don't get any on the outfit, pooch.
Love for the canines seems to be a trend on the Gossip Girl set. Leading man Chace Crawford was recently snapped showing a happy dog some affection.
Photogs were lucky to snap a pic of the TV It girl, as Meester sometimes chooses to hide her face from her adoring public.
Interesting, though, that Leighton might have a problem with showing her mug—due to possible acne or a cold sore?—yet she's okay with being snapped wearing what looks like Grandma's curtains.

I know I'll be holding my breath for the next four years, waiting for Donald Trump's impulsiveness or ego make him do something utterly stupid. But, so far, so far. He seems to be making good on (or at least making a start on) all the conservative promises he made during the campaign. He's signed a hiring freeze and talked about deep cuts in federal spending and regulations. Given the track record on campaign promises and the difficulty in pinning Trump down ideologically, this is just a little bit amazing to me.And now a really big one, maybe the big one. Maybe this is premature to take heart over, but it looks like President Trump has zeroed in on a nominee for Supreme Court justice:
Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, a highly regarded conservative jurist best known for upholding religious liberty rights in the legal battles over Obamacare, has emerged as a leading contender for President Trump's first Supreme Court nomination.
[. . .]
He currently serves on the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. A former clerk for Justice Byron White, also a Colorado native, and Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, he served in the George W. Bush administration's Justice Department.
In Gorsuch, supporters see a jurist who has strong academic credentials, a gift for clear writing and a devotion to deciding cases based on the original meaning of the Constitution and the text of statutes, as did the late Justice Antonin Scalia.
And he's young. He's only 49 now, which means he could help shape the court for decades. So this pick will likely have a more profound and lasting effect than anything else Trump does.
This is one of those instances in which it doesn't matter that Trump is doing exactly what he promised he would do. He should get credit at least for that from all quarters, but he won't. Liberals will hate it and conservatives will love it, but on the substance of it, not on the fact that a candidate is keeping a campaign pledge.This appointment will not create a "more conservative" Supreme Court. It will merely return us to the status quo ante of a divided court. Tough cultural decisions will split 5-4, just as they did when Antonin Scalia sat on the bench, with the vote going conservative more often than not but always with the possibility of a liberal tilt depending on which side of the bed Anthony Kennedy got up on.
If Hillary Clinton had been elected, there would have been a profound shift. There are four solid liberal votes, and a fifth would have created a reliably liberal court. It could have started undoing everything the more conservative court had done for years as easily as Trump can undo President Obama's executive orders. But I don't think the new court as designed by Trump will be doing much of that. Despite conservative hopes and liberal fears, they're not going to undo things like Roe v. Wade or gay marriage anytime soon.
Gorsuch apparently has one other very important trait:
Just as importantly, Gorsuch is seen as someone who might be more easily confirmed in the Senate. Unlike other appointees of President George W. Bush, Gorsuch won an easy Senate confirmation on a voice vote in 2006.
We'll see, but that sounds awfully naive to me. Just because Democrats didn't make a big fuss about Gorsuch in 2006, that doesn't mean they won't this time around. The stakes are too high, and Democrats aren't going down with a fight.
Not that it might matter much. Harry Reid opened the door to the nuclear option of getting the justice confirmed on a simple majority vote. I don't know if Mitch McConnell will be willing to go that far, but he has said he wouldn't rule it out.
THIS JUST IN: The New Times says there are two top contenders for Scalia's seat, Gorsuch and Judge William H. Pryor Jr. of the federal appeals court in Atlanta, ". . . a former Alabama attorney general, a graduate of Tulane's law school and an outspoken opponent of abortion and gay rights." And some sources say there are three finalists:
President Donald Trump has narrowed his first Supreme Court nomination to three finalists, with 10th Circuit judge Neil Gorsuch and 3rd Circuit judge Thomas Hardiman emerging as front-runners while 11th Circuit Judge Bill Pryor remains in the running but fading, according to people familiar with the search process.
Gorsuch seems like the best of the bunch to me, but all three would add the conservative to the court Trump pledged he would add.


text: Business & EconomyIndia's capital struggles with worker influx Massive migration is stretching New Delhi's resources, making basics like housing inaccessible to many. 04 Jun 2012 12:23 GMT | Business & Economy, Asia, India The capital New Delhi, home to 17 million people, is a symbol of India's rapid economic growth. This growth has attracted at least half a million Indians from rural areas and other states, who come to New Delhi looking for work every year. New Delhi benefits greatly from a growing workforce, essential to the city's transport system, household work and markets. However, this massive migration is stretching the city's resources, making the basics, like housing, electricity, sanitation and education a luxury inaccessible to many. The latest census figures show that 32 per cent of Indians living in major cities stay in a single room. With more people arriving in the city with dreams of a better life, the challenge for New Delhi will be to include everyone rather than the privileged few and to improve the city's settlement policies.

Pistons edge Rockets in OTMar 8, 2010 - 2:53 AM Detroit Pistons' rotation.
Rodney Stuckey's frightening collapse during Friday's game in Cleveland wasn't the scenario that Bynum had in mind, but he took advantage of the opportunity as Detroit snapped a six-game losing streak with Sunday's 110-107 overtime win over the Houston Rockets.
Bynum replaced Stuckey at point guard and finished with 12 points and 11 assists.
"Will did an outstanding job tonight," Pistons coach John Kuester said. "He got guys involved in the offense, and he did a nice job of staying attached to Aaron Brooks."
Stuckey is out indefinitely after falling ill on the Pistons bench Friday. He returned to Detroit on Saturday after spending the night at the Cleveland Clinic, and Kuester said the team expects to know more about his status within 48 hours.
"The most important thing tonight is that Rodney is back home and it looks like he's healthy," Bynum said. "Once we learned that, we could start worrying about trying to get a win tonight. I haven't had many chances lately, and we haven't won many games. Tonight, both happened, and it feels good."
Several of Bynum's assists went to Tayshaun Prince, who continued his resurgence with a season-high 29 points. Prince, who has struggled after the first serious injury of his career, has averaged 26 points in Detroit's past two games.
"Tay was hot, so I just kept feeding him the ball," Bynum said. "It is good to see him playing like that."
Richard Hamilton added 22 points for Detroit, while Jason Maxiell had a career-best 16 rebounds while filling in for Ben Wallace.
"Max was phenomenal," Kuester said. "He got eight offensive rebounds and eight defensive rebounds, so he was a huge factor on both ends of the floor."
Kevin Martin had 27 points for Houston, Aaron Brooks scored 25 and Luis Scola added 20. Martin and Brooks, though, both missed key 3-point attempts in the last 10 seconds of overtime.
"I liked the way our guys fought tonight," Houston coach Rick Adelman said. "They just couldn't finish the game."
The Rockets forced Detroit to miss 16 of 21 shots in one stretch, but the Pistons hit enough free throws to stay within 96-90 midway through the fourth.
Back-to-back fast-break dunks by Prince narrowed the margin to 100-96 with 2:35 left, and another one tied the game at 102 with 45.8 seconds left.
Shane Battier missed a 3-pointer as the shot clock expired, giving Detroit a chance to win in regulation, but Hamilton missed at the buzzer.
The Rockets only scored three points in the first four minutes of overtime, allowing Detroit to build a 109-105 lead. Prince, though, missed a pair of free throws with 11.3 seconds left. Brooks badly missed a go-ahead 3-pointer, but Jonas Jerebko could only make one of two from the line, leaving the Pistons ahead 110-107 with 4.8 seconds left.
This time, it was Martin who saw the tying 3-pointer bounce off the rim.
"We made some bad decisions at the end of the game, and gave them some easy baskets," Scola said. "We should have won this game, but we didn't know how to close, and that's been a problem for us. We're running out of time - we need to win some games."
The Pistons led 57-55 at the half, outshooting Houston 55 percent to 50 percent.
Houston regained the advantage in the third, getting 10 points each from Brooks and Martin, and took an 86-82 lead into the final period.
Note: Ben Wallace, who didn't play because of a sore knee, picked up a technical foul for arguing a first-half call despite being in street clothes. Hamilton got one for the same reason in the third quarter. ... Ben Gordon continued to struggle for Detroit, missing six of his seven shots. He is averaging just 8.5 points in Detroit's past six games.

The memories from that sad day at the SCG are still raw for Watson. While the sadness lingers, Watson is trying his best to overcome the fears that would have entered the mind of every cricketer since a freak accident claimed Phillip Hughes' life.
Aside from the philosophical questions raised when one is taken as young as Hughes, the circumstances around his death have also forced introspection from players on their approach to the game.
For fast bowlers, they centre on their use of the bouncer and for batsmen how they play that type of ball.
Although Australia's quicks privately expressed their apprehension at using the bouncer last week, Johnson pulled it out of his tool kit on Sunday.
Gasps could be heard from the scores of fans at the Adelaide Oval practice nets after Johnson fired in a searing lifter to Mitchell Marsh.
Thankfully, the West Australian all-rounder swerved his head out of the way in time, producing a result that would have pleased batsman and bowler.
It was the sort of scenario Watson would have had in mind when he later said he needed to trust his skill to avoid the dangers that are a batsman's occupational hazard.
Watson, who was just metres away when Hughes was felled by a bouncer, described padding up again this week as "the most mentally challenging couple of days I have had to go through in my career". But he said he would be ready come Tuesday to take on India.
"A few things flooded through my mind as soon as I went out to bat, I thought I had processed quite well over the previous week," said Watson, a veteran of 52 Tests.
"From my perspective, bowling is a hell of a lot easier mentally, just running in and letting it go, compared to batting, because you've got to make sure you hold your nerve out there when guys are steaming in. That for me has been the biggest challenge getting into it again."
Watson deemed it necessary on Sunday to have an extra 30-minute session in the nets, taking throw-downs from bowling coach Craig McDermott even if it meant forgoing an address from the Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove.
"It's been a big challenge to put the memories I have got, which are very much in the front of my mind, being very recent, to try and just move it back in my mind and just trust what I do as a batsman," Watson said.
"Everyone is in the same boat, not just the guys who were at the SCG but everyone around the world. It has sent shockwaves around the world. We just love playing the game and you don't expect to lose a little mate on the way through."
Watson said he was initially hesitant at facing bouncers but his confidence was returning. McDermott also threw in some short-pitched stuff to him during his second hit.
"But every day I've gone out there to bat I have got more comfortable with it, more comfortable just reacting to what I see ," Watson said. "Trusting my skill. That is really the simplest thing.
"Because I know at any stage if you get a ball and you get unlucky and it hits you in the wrong spot, it's always going to cause some serious damage, that's a part of the game where you just hope your skill can get you out of trouble if that comes our way."
Watson said the past few days in Adelaide had been vital not just in preparing for the Test but to help the team "come together as a group and find our feet again".
"I think this has been as important a four-day lead-up to a Test match that I have ever been involved with because there's a lot of inner demons we have had to find our way through," Watson said.

Death & Dying – Catholic Moments
About Death & Dying
Rev. John LaFarge, SJ (1880 – 1963) was raised in a family that could be considered American aristocracy. His father, John LaFarge was a world renowned artist. His mother Margaret Mason Perry was the granddaughter of Oliver Hazard Perry, victor of the Battle of Lake Erie (1813). His family lived among the American elite in Newport, Rhode Island. When John told his family of his plans to enter the seminary, they were not pleased. What seemed to bring them around was a family friend, Theodore Roosevelt, who stated that John had a vocation from God, and that this was the life he should follow. Read more.

ESPN RISE takes a look at the teams to watch this month in northeast Ohio:
Girls' Golf -- Walsh Jesuit
Bill Reilly found an effective motivational tool for
his team in 2006. The girls would be allowed to listen
to their choice of music on the bus ride to matches.
But if they played poorly, they would be forced to listen
to Reilly's music on the ride back. "I got more
than my share of hip-hop and rap," Reilly says. Over
the past two seasons, the only time Reilly subjected
his team to his choice of music (country) came after
the 2006 Division I district tournament when the
team failed to qualify for state. "The only thing I can
think of is that the major-event stage was new to
most of them," Reilly says. "But they learned from it
and came out with a vengeance in 2007." It helped
that Reilly scheduled tougher matches to force the
team to play in pressure situations. He kicked off
2007 with an invitational at Lakota West, then the
defending state champ, but the girls played well and
delivered a third-place finish. "After that," he says,
"they knew they could compete."Walsh Jesuit went
on to finish 21-0 in team matches last season and
won the Division I crown. This year's team appears
poised to repeat, as seniors Kelly Krusoe, Amanda
Costanzo, Lex Omilion, Holly James and Katie Kohut
return alongside junior Ariel McNair. Unfortunately
for Reilly, it looks like the hip-hop won't stop blaring
from the bus any time soon.
Football -- Mentor
The back-to-back Region 1 champs returned about 10 starters, mostly on defense. Defensive end Ben
Pike, linebacker Nick Koshiol and defensive backs Tim Moore and Nick Krantz are among the top players
back. Running back Tom Worden also returns as one of the top backs in the area, and with former quarterback
Bart Tanski graduated, most offensive responsibilities will fall to Worden. As usual, Mentor plays
a tough schedule, so if this team wants to three-peat in the region, it'll be up to the defense.
Girls' Cross Country -- North Canton Hoover
Hoover captured fourth place at last year's Division I state meet. And the team is in prime position to
again contend for a state title. Four of the team's top finishers from that meet return this season. Junior
Erin Garfield will lead the way after a sixth-place finish last year among team competitors. Junior Sarah
Tirrell, sophomore Megan Monte and junior Allison Peare also helped pace Hoover last year. The team will
need to find a strong fifth runner if it hopes to improve its standing this fall.
Boys' Soccer -- Massillon Jackson
Massillon Jackson finished 18-2-3 and reached the Division I title game last year before falling to Hilliard
Davidson, 2-1. On the way, the team won a series of one-goal games -- including a 1-0 overtime win
in the semis over Sylvania Northwest -- that helped build the type of experience championship teams
need. Senior Evan McCreary returns after scoring the team's lone goal in the state title game. Senior Dusty
Kiaski, who assisted on that goal, also returns for Jackson.
Breakout teams
All-Ohio quarterback Vinnie Hokavar passed for 1,388 yards and 18 touchdowns last year.
All-State pick Kaitlyn Leary hopes to improve upon Padua's regional final finish in 2007.
Seniors Steve Petite and Mike Guarino lead an experienced club.
Molly Leonard, Claire Meneer and Camille Smith look to improve upon last year's 10th-place state finish.

OC Film Society Screens 12 Years A Slave, with Screenwriter John Ridley This Wednesday!
The Orange County Film Society presents a special screening of the critically-acclaimed, Oscar buzzworthy film 12 Years a Slave at the Lido theater in Newport Beach this Wednesday night. Additionally, the screenwriter John Ridley, who adapted the screenplay from Solomon Northrup's true life accounts 12 Years a Slave, will be present for a Q&A session after the screening.
12 Years A Slave was directed by Steve McQueen, and tells the real story of Solomon Northrup, a free black man, talented violin player, husband and father who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the antebellum South. Northrup must learn to adapt to the violent, dehumanizing life of being a slave while struggling for survival and escape. On paper, it sounds like a simple plot, but it is McQueen's brilliant filmmaking, Ridley's screenplay, and unforgettable, gritty performances by an outstanding ensemble cast that have made it the shining talk of Tinsel Town and beyond. For those cinephiles out there who just love asking professionals about the screenwriting and production process, this event is especially for you.
This screening is open to members of the Orange County Film Society, and becoming a member is easily possible; through an annual membership fee of $129, members gain access to a set number of screenings that cost even less than they would in a regular theater run. Also, surprise screenings are not uncommon, and events such as this Q&A aren't otherwise available to the movie-going public. Check out http://orangecountyfilmsociety.com/ for more details.

Best Fall Hikes Near Denver
Where can you find hikes near Denver to view the changing aspens and fall colors? We've looked through all our hiking profiles to identify trails near Denver that are decorated with glowing aspens in the Fall. Some of these Autumn Colorado hikes have spectacular drives to the trailhead. Because some of the hikes closer to Denver are just so-so (it takes driving further into the mountains to get the best views of the Aspens), I'll identify some of the best hikes to see the Fall colors near Denver here. There are over 3 pages with over 25 hikes, so be sure to explore the full set of trail profiles of fall hikes near Denver, Colorado below.
The Best Hikes Near Denver to See the Changing Aspens and Fall Colors
Elk Falls Overlook at Staunton State Park
Raccoon Loop at Golden Gate Canyon
Mt. Bierstadt Hike on Guanella Pass
Sprague Lake Loop in Rocky Mountain National Park
Devil's Head Firetower Hike
Distance: 11 miles Round Trip
Drive Time from Denver: 45 Minutes
Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult
We'll begin with the most challenging hike to views of a waterfall that was hidden for years and recently opened to the public at Staunton State Park.This whole area near both Guanella Pass and Hoosier pass is amazing in the fall. After the hike, there are options to drive further out 285 to Hoosier Pass or to take the seasonal road up Guanella pass. The great thing about Stuanton State Park is that you have options: shorter easy strolls with aspen views along the rock formations and more moderate hikes through the heart of the park. Scan the rock cliffs and mountainsides to see if you can get a glimpse of the occasional aspen turning red.
Distance: 2.5 miles Round Trip
Drive Time from Denver: 1 Hour
Difficulty: Easy
Our family loves this 2.5 mile hike in Golden Gate Canyon State Park. There are panoramic views of the Front Range at the Panorama Point viewing area, and the hike takes you through meadows of aspens. The drive from Golden to the park takes you along a really curvy road, so take your time and be aware for cyclists.
Distance: 1 to 7 miles Round Trip
Drive Time from Denver: 90 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy to Difficult
This drive to Guanaella Pass and hike are both breathtaking when the aspens are turning in the fall. We suggest starting on the north end (I-70 end) and to make your way south over Guanella pass. You can stop here and hike a length of the Mt. Beirstadt Trail. Continuing over Guanella pass, hikers can drive further to Kenosha Pass. When Guanella Pass road intersects with 285, a right turn (west) leads to Kenosha Pass. You'll find a large parking area off to your left just before the pass and a lot of great hiking among some of the most brilliant aspens in Colorado. The photo of the moose at the top of this post was taken near the trailhead at Kenosha Pass.
Distance: 1/2 mile Round Trip
Drive Time from Denver: 2 Hours
Difficulty: Easy
Sprague Lake loop offers an easy 1/2 mile loop hike with 360 degree breathtaking views of the changing aspens in Rocky Mountain National Park. It's a two-hour drive that's worth it. Parking is limited and there is an entrance fee. No dogs are allowed in the park.
Distance: 2.8 miles Round Trip
Drive Time from Denver: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Difficulty: Moderate
Here's why you need to do this hike in the fall season: 1) The drive there will take you up Rampart Range road which should be gilded with changing Aspens, 2) When you get to the top of Devil's Head, you'll gain 360 degree views that will let you drink in the colors from for miles and miles. I love to make this hike in the early morning as the sun is rising and lighting up the spires along the spine of the Rampart Range.
A Few Other Noteable Fall Hikes Near Denver: The Forsythe Canyon Trail takes you through the shade of a good deal of Aspens, down to Gross Reservoir. The hike to Maxwell Falls near Evergreen, Colorado will sports a great drive and is riddled with fall colors, too. However, the waterfall will likely be a trickle later in the year, and the trails are over-crowded. Finally, the First and Second Flatiron trail near Boulder may not have a ton of Aspens on the front side, but make it to the top and you should get great views of the Rocky Mountains to the West and there should be a lot of color as you look out to the continental divide.
Scroll down the page and additional pages to explore our full set of Colorado hikes that offer you views of the changing fall aspens near Denver.

SSP Partners Lands El Paso Stores
Deal includes 121 convenience stores and 23 unattended fueling stations.By John Lofstock
SSP Partners, the Corpus Christi, Texas-based operator of 184 Circle K convenience stores, today acquired 144 Coastal Mart convenience stores from San Antonio-based El Paso Corp. Terms of the deal, which includes 121 convenience stores, 23 unattended gas stations and the distribution rights to 15 jobber locations, were not disclosed.
Since El Paso first announced its deal to acquire The Coastal Corp., the companies have slowly sold off Coastal's marketing assets. In January, Coastal sold 204 company-owned stores -- nearly one-third of its portfolio -- to Bartlesville, Okla.-based Phillips Petroleum Co. and Philadelphia-based Sunoco Inc. Phillips and Sunoco hold the rights to the Coastal brand for 10 years, if they decide to use it that long. Both companies indicated they would rebrand the stores.
SSP has yet to announce whether it will rebrand its Coastal properties.
Insiders and analysts told Convenience Store News that El Paso, which became a powerhouse in the natural gas business with the completion of its $24-billion acquisition of Coastal, may decide to focus exclusively on its core business. Coastal controlled an estimated 13 percent of the natural gas consumed in the United States.
In that case, El Paso's company-owned Coastal stores and the supply contracts it holds with dealers and jobbers would go on the selling block. Retailers further speculated the Coastal brand could disappear within a few years.
The deal with SSP drops El Paso's store count to approximately 200, but still leaves the company in control of Coastal's four refineries in Aruba, Texas, New Jersey and Alabama. The units have a throughput of approximately 485,000 barrels per day. El Paso also distributes to a jobber network of more than 1,000 stores; holds 18,600 miles of natural gas pipelines; and 22 natural gas storage facilities.
