Copying: You're welcome to print copies of this page for your own use, and to link from your own Web pages to this page. But please don't make any electronic copies and publish them on your Web page or elsewhere.
There are lots of ways for you to get Frequently Asked Questions lists (FAQ lists). I list some of the methods that I know. Believe it or not, earlier versions of this guide told you how to get FAQs by e-mail if you didn't have an FTP client! We've come a long way since then, and now I target the resources that are out on the Web.
I'll use some specific newsgroups as examples. If you're interested in different newsgroups, use their names instead of the ones in my examples. Just follow the same patterns of punctuation (periods and / marks). For a few newsgroups, the standard instructions won't work; please see Special Cases below.
There are other sites and other methods beyond those that I list in
these instructions. You may want to consult the article "Introduction
to *.answers", posted frequently in the
newsgroup. Among other things, that article lists some European
archive sites for FAQ lists and other periodic postings. If you can't
get that article
at your site, try
Finally, there is a sort of über-FAQ that explains how Usenet itself works and how to use it best. See the section below on news.newusers.questions.
When looking for an FAQ list, first do the obvious and check the relevant newsgroup on your local news server for articles with "FAQ" or "frequently" in the subject line. If you don't know how to check articles that your newsreader has already marked as read, ask your system administrator or an experienced user at your site, or use Google.
Next, try the newsgroup news.answers. FAQ lists
for many groups are cross-posted there, and there's no discussion.
Subject lines often contain the names of the newsgroups (often, but
not always). For instance, all the
misc.consumers FAQ
lists will have "misc.consumers" in their subject lines. Again, your
system administrator can tell you the commands to use in
Along with
news.answers, there is an "answers" newsgroup
for each major hierarchy:
talk.answers, and so on. These
newsgroups all work like
news.answers, but take periodic
postings only from within their own hierarchies. (A "hierarchy" is
simply newsgroups whose names all start with the same element(s).)
These newsgroups are collectively referred to as "*.answers". As far
as I know, everything that's posted into any of the other *.answers
groups will appear in
news.answers and vice versa, but
there may be exceptions.
Having the other *.answers groups lets you can narrow your search a
bit. If you want a FAQ on AIDS, for instance, you might scan
sci.answers rather than the much larger
news.answers—even if you don't know which
newsgroup covers AIDS you can be pretty sure it's somewhere in the
"sci" hierarchy.
The articles in *.answers are posted in such a way that each version
should stay around at each site until the new version is posted. But
some sites are configured so that this does not occur. If FAQ lists
that you're looking for have expired in
news.answers at
your site, you can get copies of them by FTP. (You might also want to
speak to your system administrator, suggesting that she give
news.answers and the other *.answers groups a longer
expiry time than other groups. Since they're moderated groups with
only informational articles and no follow-ups, their
signal-to-noise ratio is far above the Usenet average.)
Google stores all articles posted to Usenet. You can use it to retrieve any FAQ lists that have been posted.
Here's a little form to help you. If you enter the newsgroup name in the input field and submit the form, a new window will open and Google will return any articles posted in that newsgroup in the past month with the word FAQ in the subject.
If the form comes up empty, you may want to try Google's advanced search at <http://groups.google.com/advanced_search>. Put the newsgroup name in the Newsgroup box (duh!) and FAQ in the Subject box. (You might also try a second search with "Frequently Asked Questions" in the Subject box.)
If this search comes up empty, and you're sure you've typed the newsgroup name correctly, try one of the other methods in this article.
This site, fondly known as "RTFM" after the perennial cry of "Read the F---in' Manual", is a huge repository of Usenet wisdom. You may find things here that you'd miss through other search methods, because RTFM also contains a number of periodic informational postings that don't have the word FAQ in their titles.
As an old-timer on Usenet, I hope you'll indulge me in a short trip down Memory Lane before I get to the mechanics of accessing this very useful archive.
Cast your mind back to when dinosaurs ruled the earth (well, 1990 if you want to get technical). Newsgroup articles weren't saved anywhere public, and the World Wide Web was just a few computers at CERN. Imagine! once a newsgroup article expired from your server, it was gone.>
There was no central repository of FAQ lists. If you wanted the FAQ list for a particular newsgroup, you just had to subscribe to the group and wait until the FAQ author posted the list—or be annoying and post a request for someone to send it to you. Imagine! no instant response.
Jonathan Kamens of OpenVision Technologies, Inc. (formerly of MIT's
Project Athena, which still supports the archive) took the lead and
set up an archive of periodic postings (including FAQ lists) at
pit-manager.mit.edu around March 1991. Later, that server was renamed
rtfm.mit.edu to reflect the acronym for "Read the F---in' Manual".
Kamens also took the lead in creating the
newsgroup later that year, so that FAQ lists and other periodically
posted articles could more easily be found within Usenet news.
I have some additional details on chronology from Pamela Greene, one of the current moderators of *.answers (as of May 1998).
In April and May of 1991, Glenn R. Stone coordinated a discussion in
news.groupsabout creating a new newsgroup to serve as a clearinghouse for FAQs and other periodic informational postings. As Jonathan Kamens relates the story, just as that discussion had settled down and it looked like a vote would be held, Glenn disappeared. In July, Jon reopened the discussion with another RFD. The CFV for
news.answersran from August 15 to September 15, 1991, and it was newgrouped shortly thereafter.
The RFD for "*.answers" appeared in
news.groupson October 18, 1992, and the CFV for comp., misc., rec., sci., soc., and talk.answers was posted on November 19, closed on December 20.
alt.answershad been discussed in both
news.groupsand (mainly)
alt.configin parallel with the other groups' discussion. Tim Pierce announced the result of the *.answers vote in
alt.configon January 7, 1992, and said at that time he would newgroup
alt.answersshortly after the other *.answers groups were created.
I can't find any discussion of the creation of
de.answers. I know that
humanities.answerswas created shortly after that hierarchy was started, around 1995 I believe.
We have copies of the original RFDs, charter, etc., if you're really interested.
Though nearly all Netters now have Web access and can get FAQ lists much more easily now, Kamens deserves more than a footnote in the history of Usenet. We owe him a very large debt of gratitude.
Historically, access to RTFM was by anonymous FTP, with e-mail access provided for those who had no FTP client. Today, all or almost all of you reading this page will have a Web browser, so I'll just tell you about WWW and FTP links that you can select.
There are some searchable HTML versions of FAQ lists. But RTFM is the ur-source.
You can use your Web browser to access RTFM by an FTP-type link:
(If using an FTP client instead of a Web browser, select host
rtfm.mit.edu with user name
anonymous and
use your e-mail address as your password. Start in directory
Under the
/pub directory, whether you reached it by Web
browser or FTP client, there are two directories of interest:
usenet directory shows all newsgroups in one
directory. This is helpful if you don't know whether your newsgroup of
interest is under
soc or
alt, for instance.
The down side is that it will take quite a while to load that
usenet-by-hierarchy directory presents the
newsgroups in a tree-like structure. For instance, if you want to
check the FAQ list for
comp.lang.c, you would change
directory to
usenet-by-hierarchy, then
under that, then
lang under that, and finally
c under that. It's more hops, but each one goes
faster because each page along the way is much smaller.
Once you get to the directory for your newsgroup of interest, you'll see a list of file names, which are the article titles with underscore (_) replacing any spaces. Yes, this makes for very long article names. Simply retrieve the one(s) that you're interested in.
There's another way to access the archives. This way may be more efficient
if you're running a non-graphical FTP client, particularly if you're
looking for an updated version of an FAQ-type article that you already
have. You'll need the "archive-name" found just after the article's
header. (See below for how to get archive names if you don't know
them.) Instead of
/pub, start in the
/pub/usenet/news.answers directory, then issue a command
to get the archive-name. For example, the archive name
of the
comp.lang.c FAQ is
C-faq/faq, so you
would issue these commands in an FTP session:
ftp rtfm.mit.edu cd /pub/usenet/news.answers get C-faq/faq
(Other subdirectories of
/pub/usenet contain periodic
postings that may not appear in
Don't worry about the files that have a part1 and no part2; that's just
how the directory structure is set up.
If you don't know the archive-names of the articles that you want, you can get a list of all periodic postings that are archived in news.answers by retrieving /pub/usenet/news.answers/index (415 KB as of March 1998).
The entire directory /pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers/ is articles to retrieve and read if you want to get the best use out of Usenet. Much of the equivalent material is available in HTML as the news.newusers.questions FAQ.
If you are able
to display a list of files at the remote site but get
errors like "permission denied" or "no access" when you try to
download one of them, check to make sure that you have write
access to your local directory. (DOS and Windows users should check
that the read-only attribute is not present.) Messages like these
are probably local problems at your end, not problems at
rtfm.mit.edu. Any remote FTP error should have a
three-digit error code at the front.
RTFM is mirrored at sites around the world. You can use them if
rtfm.mit.edu is overloaded (as it often is).
RTFM lists a great many at
Please look at that list and select the mirror nearest you for fastest
In addition to the RTFM archive described in the previous section, some HTML (hypertext) versions of FAQs also exist at <http://www.faqs.org/faqs/>, Kent Landfield's Usenet Hypertext FAQ Archive. This provides many ways to search FAQs.
Several newsgroups don't have FAQ lists in the usual place, but do have
FAQ lists. If you know of more newsgroups that have FAQ lists but don't
store them at
rtfm.mit.edu, please
let me know.
The alt.usage.english FAQ, along with some additional documents, may be found at <http://www.alt-usage-english.org/>, which is a redirection from <http://go.to/aue>.
There are two FAQs for alt.talk.royalty. The one on the British royal and noble families (the "BritFAQ") is at <http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/britfaq.html>, and the one covering the rest of the world is at <http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/atrfaq.htm>.
The DVD FAQ is at <http://dvddemystified.com/dvdfaq.html>.
Thanks to Nicholas G. Theodorakis, who let me know that the bionet groups have a FAQ at <http://www.bio.net/docs.html>. More specifically, Paul Hengen maintains an unofficial FAQ for bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts at <http://www-lecb.ncifcrf.gov/~pnh/FAQlist.html>.
There is no FAQ posted in the newsgroup. However the Web Design Group maintains several FAQs at <http://www.htmlhelp.com>. You can find pointers to them, and others, in my Web Resources for Web Authors.
comp.std.c and
comp.lang.c.moderated share an
FAQ list with
comp.lang.c, but it is posted only in
comp.lang.c. For Steve Summit's masterly FAQ list about
the C language, which answers many questions about the ANSI/ISO
standard and standard C, look in the directory
There's no FAQ list for
comp.lang.c++.moderated as such,
but there is an excellent FAQ on the C++ language.
The "C++ FAQ Lite" at
is authored by Marshall Cline.
comp.std.c++ FAQ is available at
You can get pointers to other FAQ-like documents by sending a blank mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
This newsroup has no FAQ as such. However, there are several very good FAQs on CD-R and CD-RW on the Web:
If you read nothing else, read Andy McFadden's very fine CD-Recordable FAQ: <http://www.cdrfaq.org>. I was lucky enough to find it through a reference in the newsgroup after stumbling around on my own for a few weeks, making some mistakes and creating a few coasters. McFadden's FAQ not only answered all the questions I knew I needed answers for, it showed me some questions I should have been asking and wasn't. Very highly recommended.

Clive Backham: Transferring LPs to CDR: Some Advice <http://www.digitalaudio.com/fileadmin/general/Files/Transferring_LPs_to_CDR.pdf> (This is also somewhat applicable to other forms of audio input.)
This newsgroup answers questions about how Usenet works, how to post and receive answers, and so on. Its FAQ is HTMLized as NNQ Links at <http://www.anta.net/misc/nnq/>. The pages are mirrored many places, including <http://www.newsgruppen.de/nnqlinks.html>.
These newsgroups have a FAQ at <http://tolkien.slimy.com/>. In addition to answering many questions, that site also links to other Tolkien FAQs.
My own FAQ of the Rings answers questions specifically about the Rings of Power as described in Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and other works.
Ben Bullock's FAQ for this newsgroup may be found at <http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/afaq.html>.
Visit <http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-qa.html> for the Origins FAQ, or <http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/index.html> for An Index to Creationist Claims.
Stephen Poley maintains a FAQ at <http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/ukrb.htm>.
They're not FAQ lists, but the charters of newsgroups are a good fast way to tell what sorts of topics are or are not appropriate in a particular newsgroup. I know of two sources:A
The next-level directories are the hierarchy heads like
comp, and the level below that is the newsgroup
names. You'll see the file names listed with ".Z" appended, which
is fine if you have the uncompress program available to you; but you
can retrieve the uncompressed form by simply omitting the ".Z".
For example, the uncompressed charter for
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html can be retrieved as
<ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/>: Here, as with the UUnet source, you append the top-level hierarchy name and then the full newsgroup name. For example, the charter for comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html can be retrieved as <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/control/comp/comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html>.

The Easiest Way to Get Into Matcha
The green power you either love, hate, or couldn't care less about just got an upgrade—and you're going to want to hear about it.
When it comes to matcha, there are three types of people in the world:
Person No. 1: You have no idea what matcha is.
Person No. 2: You know what it is, but it just seems like a lot of work and it kind of tastes bad.
Person No. 3: You drink it regularly and swear by its magical powers.
Here's what we have to say to each of you:
Person No. 1: Matcha is a type of Japanese green tea rich in antioxidants that boosts metabolism and gives a sustained and focused energy.
Person No. 2: Fair points—the traditional matcha-making process requires time, care, and a bamboo whisk. And yes, the taste can be a bit bitter.
Person No. 3: You just keep doing you.
But here's where we can all learn something new, no matter what group you fall into: making a cup of matcha can be as simple as brewing a cup of tea. When Jessica Lloyd and David Mandelbaum found that constantly turning to coffee for energy only gave them jitters and crashes, they turned to matcha.
"Our skin was clearer, our focus was at an all-time high, and we had more sustained energy." —Jessica Lloyd, Panatea cofounder
"When we began incorporating matcha into our daily routines, it completely changed our lives," explains Lloyd. "There was this incredible shift: our skin was clearer, our focus was at an all-time high, and we had more sustained energy." After realizing there was a gap in the matcha market, Lloyd and Mandelbaum traveled around Japan with a tea master to explore the world of matcha and create a premium product. In 2014, Panatea was born.
The biggest hang-up with matcha, however, is how labor-intensive the process of making it is. With that obstacle in mind, the New York City-based company recently created a blend of ceremonial-grade matcha (which means the powder is especially fine) and soluble fiber that you can pour into water, stir with a spoon, and sip away.
"Unlike other matcha single-serves on the market, this new blend actually dissolves in warm or cold water," Mandelbaum explains. "No whisk or tools required!" The best part? The convenience of the instant powder isn't sacrificing any of its benefits, so it still has all good stuff you get from the original. One serving of Panatea matcha is nutritionally equivalent to 10 cups of green tea—not a bad deal.
Watch the video above for a little taste of Panatea's instant matcha!
Their advice for a first-time matcha drinker? "Dive right in! The easiest way to try matcha is with Panatea's Instant Matcha," recommends Lloyd. "Mix it with heated almond milk for a delicious matcha latte or with ice and lemonade for an iced matcha Arnold Palmer." So what do you say—ready to give it another go?

What advice could you give to help exercisers maintain and build fitness during the busy holiday season where food is more readily available a d there's always another member of the family to visit?

I've just implemented a short calisthenics workout into my morning routine. When I get up, I do a short series of exercises (60 crunches, 10 push ups, stretching) before I shower. It's a great way to wake the body up after sleeping, and it's nothing strenuous enough to hurt yourself. Other than that, I try and move around or be active around the house (chores, go for a short walk) after a big meal, when you feel comfortable. I feel it helps my body digest big meals and reduces the overly full and bloated feeling that's so common around the holidays.
None of these things are going to change your health overnight, but it certainly makes me feel better, and it's better than nothing! :)

which can be found on hubpages. The main thing is to establish a habit of training. Just having to workout for only 100 seconds per day will make it easy for you to form a habit.
Your fitness levels are nothing to do with an availability of food so I guess you mean your fatness levels?
If you really do mean to keep fit during Christmas then just continue with your normal training. Eating an excess of food will not reduce your VO2 max.
If you mean your fatness levels, then consider doing an extra session of exercise on Christmas morning or the following day.
That said, if you've been good all year, then Christmas is nothing to worry about... personally, I will not be doing any training on Christmas day as it's a Wednesday which is a rest day for me.

Ragnarok. Armageddon. Doomsday. Since the dawn of time, man has wondered how the world would end. In The Last Three Minutes, Paul Davies reveals the latest theories. It might end in a whimper, slowly scattering into the infinite void. Then again, it might be yanked back by its own gravity and end in a catastrophic \u0022Big Crunch.\u0022 There are other, more frightening possibilities. We may be seconds away from doom at this very moment. Written in clear language that makes the cutting-edge science of quarks, neutrinos, wormholes, and metaverses accessible to the layman, The Last Three Minutes treats readers to a wide range of conjectures about the ultimate fate of the universe. Along the way, it takes the occasional divergent path to discuss some slightly less cataclysmic topics such as galactic colonization, what would happen if the Earth were struck by the comet Swift-Tuttle (a distinct possibility), the effects of falling in a black hole, and how to create a \u0022baby universe.\u0022 Wonderfully morbid to the core, this is one of the most original science books to come along in years.
Although cosmology has developed into perhaps the most arcane and heavily mathematicized of academic specialities, you don't have to be a scientist to gaze at the night sky in search of answers. Hence the appeal of these fine companion books, the first in the publisher's very promising "Science Masters" series, which aims to tap into the potentially large market of curious, generally educated readers seeking intelligent but nontechnical treatments of current science issues. Barrow looks at Big Bang cosmology and does a particularly good job at explaining so-called "inflationary universe" theory, a difficult concept that others have handled far less deftly. Still, despite his occasional digressions into the literature of Arthur Conan Doyle, his writing is rather dry. Davies, by contrast, is more playfully conjectural, and the sheer audacity of some of his speculations makes for a more entertaining read. While other popularizations of basic cosmology have been published in recent years (e.g., Alan Lightman's Time for the Stars, LJ 11/15/92), Barrow and Davies are quality science popularizers, and both of their books merit recommendations. Davies's book is, however, the stronger due to the livelier writing and comparative uniqueness of his subject. [The third volume in the "Science Masters" series is Richard Leakey's The Origin of Humankind, reviewed below.-Ed.]-Gregg Sapp, Univ. of Miami Lib.

LIFE IN FOCUS: Family raising money to help their young daughter see better
People who are legally blind now have something they can turn to.
E-Sight glasses act as a magnifier that focuses in on objects and its color. It sounds like a great device, but it is also pretty expensive. Now, one local family says the device will change their girl's life.
Jaiya Marshall is a five-year-old girl, and she has lots to offer.
"She's already an old soul," said Abbie Marshall, Jaiya's mother. "If she sees someone wearing a dress and she sees the flowers, she will be like, 'Mom, that women is just so beautiful'."
Jaiya loves, lives and plays like any child would, and she is also a legally blind person. Jaiya's mother and father noticed something wasn't right, when Jaiya was six months old.
"Her eyes would shake really bad and wonder off, in a sense," said Playthell Marshall Jr., Jaiya's father.
Doctors initially were not sure of her condition, but three years later, Jaiya was diagnosed with Optic Nerve Hypoplasia. Jaiya was given glasses and a cane to help in everyday tasks. Her mother, Abbie, said Jaiya's vision is similar to what one would see, if one was looking through safety goggles that was smeared with Vaseline.
"In the classroom right now, she has a dome magnifier about the size of a baseball that she uses over her words," said Abbie.
Right now, Jaiya doesn't know life any differently, and her younger brother even watches out for her. A pair of E-Sight glasses, however, could make Jaiya's life a little easier, and much more clear.
"They have three high-definition cameras that minimize everything around her, and then maximize the size on a little screen in there for her," said Abbie.
"With the glasses, she could sit anywhere and see the whole board and everything written in on the board," said Abbie. "She could see your whole face, instead of just being a blur of beautifulness to her."
Jaiya recently tried to glasses to make sure she was compatible with them. A pair of these E-Sight glasses, however, cost more than $10,000, and the Marshall family cannot afford it. A GoFundMe page has been set up, and they hope to get the glasses soon, to help put Jaiya's life in focus.

A KNITTING group is appealing for new members to use their nifty needlework skills to help keep troops warn this winter.
A group of women from across the north east, including Forest Hall and Whitley Bay, have been busy knitting as many hats as possible using yarn with a 100 per cent wool content.
These are then sent to Afghanistan to help keep the serving men and women warm in the cold evenings, as temperatures can fall severely due to lack of cloud cover at night.
The group has recently dispatched 700 hats and members are now looking for more volunteers to help carry on the good work.
Group co-ordinator Margaret Fullerton said: "A deployment of around 500 troops leaves every six months for Afghanistan, with the last deployment having just left in September for a six-month tour of duty.
"These women set themselves the task of knitting a hat for each soldier in deployment and I'm proud to say they achieved their target for this first deployment.
"However, the need will continue for each further deployment until our troops are withdrawn sometime in 2014-15."
The project is supported by needlecraft store Ring a Rosie's in Whitley Road, Whitley Bay.
Anyone who would like to join in and knit a beanie for a soldier should contact Margaret on 01896 850737 or firstname.lastname@example.com

With Valentine's Day just about a week away, McVitie's will be opening a romantic cafe in London. For a few hours on February 10th and 11th, the Cuddle Cafe will provide a cozy place for people to sit, sip tea, snack on biscuits and win prizes. McVitie's has experimented with pay-with-a-tweet pop-ups before, but as far as currency goes at the Cuddle Cafe, what makes this pop-up cafe so unique is that it won't cost you a penny—as long as you pay for the experience with a hug.
The unusual Valentine's Day cafe is being promoted online with the #sweeet tag, teasing the activities and prizes that will be part of the event. Whether or not you have a cuddle buddy this Valentine's, this is bound to be a neat cafe to check out.

AKG K872 Reference HeadphonesDetails
Product Ref: 71635View Full Description
Full DescriptionView Full Description
To deliver pure, powerful, ultra-detailed sound, the K872 utilizes a 53 mm transducer—the largest AKG has ever built. This driver was developed from the highly acclaimed K812 transducer, and ensures highest in-class headroom and dynamic range. Each K872 transducer employs a 1.5 Tesla magnet system, the strongest available today, providing highly accurate imaging and pristine, natural sound.
The K872 features a high-sensitivity copper-covered aluminum voice coil that extends sound beyond the limits of the human auditory system, spanning a full spectrum of frequencies. The ultra-lightweight two-layer voice coil ensures a superior impulse response and an extended frequency range from 5 Hz to 54 kHz, while delivering the lowest distortion level in class.
With newly designed closed-back ear cups, K872 headphones provide optimal isolation from external sound during critical monitoring applications. To provide exceptional personalized fit and comfort, the K872 features 3D-shaped slow-retention ear pads and a new quick-lock mechanism that maintains the right size for the wearer's head shape. K872 headphones also feature all-metal cardan-type hinges to ensure maximum durability and a tight ear pad seal. The entire design works in concert to deliver unsurpassed comfort for long mixing and mastering sessions.
"The AKG K872 headphones leverage innovative driver design, along with superior mechanical and acoustic technologies to deliver superb response, exceptional comfort and long-lasting reliability," said Peter Chaikin, Recording Solutions, HARMAN Professional Solutions. "These remarkable headphones illustrate our continual commitment to industry-leading performance and quality."
The K872 is ideal for music production professionals seeking an accurate, transportable, highly detailed reference for critical monitoring in a range of recording, mixing and production applications. Live sound engineers will appreciate the high degree of isolation, detail and comfort that the K872 provides, which enhances their ability to focus on critical elements of the mix. Studio mixing and mastering professionals will benefit from the reference-quality audio K872 delivers in both studio and mobile production workflows.
The headphones include a case that functions as both a headphone stand and a low-profile carrying bag that conveniently fits in a suitcase.
The product price includes 6 years' warranty and 180 day money back guarantee.
However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

Second Full Trailer for Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost
by Alex Billington
May 8, 2009
Source: AOL
Universal has debuted the second full length trailer for Land of the Lost, the summer comedy starring Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel, and Jorma Taccone. We've previously seen a Super Bowl TV spot and a full length teaser trailer, which makes this only an extended version of what we've pretty much already watched before. There are some new scenes in this trailer, plenty of them actually, but it doesn't look any better than before. Sorry to say, but I think Land of the Lost looks just plain awful. All of the CGI looks terrible and Ferrell's dialogue isn't even funny at all. Who knows, I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
Give this brand new trailer below a shot and please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks it looks terrible?
Watch the second trailer for Land of the Lost:
You can also watch the new trailer for Land of the Lost in High Definition on AOL
On his latest expedition, Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Ferrell) is sucked into a space-time vortex alongside his research assistant and a redneck survivalist. In this alternate universe, the trio make friends with a primate named Chaka, their only ally in a world full of dinosaurs, Sleestaks, and other fantastic creatures.
Land of the Lost is directed by Brad Silberling, of Casper, City of Angels, Moonlight Mile, Lemony Snicket, and 10 Items or Less previously. "Saturday Night Live" writer Dennis McNicholas and "Entourage" writer Chris Henchy together wrote the screenplay. This is a feature remake of the 1970's TV show of the same name. Universal's Land of the Lost hits theaters everywhere this summer on June 5th. See you there?

Number-one New York Times best seller. Join the Random House Reader's Circle for author chats and more.
In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard's world changes forever when Caitlin Somers chooses her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomes Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha's Vineyard, an enchanting place where the two friends become "summer sisters".
Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin begs Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go - because she wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend - her summer sister - still has the power to break her heart.
"Compulsively readable.... [Blume's] powers are prodigious." (The New York Times Book Review)
"As warm as a summer breeze blowing through your hair, as nostalgic as James Taylor singing 'How Sweet It Is.' You remember. So does Judy Blume. How sweet it was." (Chicago Tribune)
"An exceptionally moving story that can leave the reader laughing and crying...sometimes at the same time.... Blume creates a rich tapestry of characters." (The Denver Post)

Finally Summer Sisters on Audio
One of the best audio books I had the pleasure of listening to. Although I have read a lot of Judy Blume books growing up. The narrator was awesome, she gave me the sense that I was actually watching this entire book play out on screen.
I would have to say Caitlyn. What I found the most interesting about her is that you never hear Caitlyn's point of view. You hear from all other characters but her. I really would like to know what was going on thru her head.

Customs Duties to Be Scrapped on 700 Imported Items
List of items to be exempted from customs duties is still being finalized at the Tax Authority, but will probably hardly be changed by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.
Barring a last-minute hitch, import duties will be scrapped altogether next week on about 700 items for which there are no domestically produced counterparts. The loss to the treasury from the customs duties collected on these products has been estimated at NIS 440 million a year, but the move should put an equivalent sum into the pockets of Israeli consumers.
The list of items to be exempted from customs duties is still being finalized at the Tax Authority, but it is thought that it will be approved almost without change by Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.
The list is expected to include dishwashers, washing machines, razor blades, sewing machines, baby strollers, toys, ballpoint pens, hot beverage dispensers, glassware and porcelain. The list also includes silver and gold jewelry and pearls, as well as stovetops and ovens, suits, coats, scissors and knives, medications, plastic products and raw lumber.
The elimination of duty on these items would implement one of the recommendations of the Trajtenberg committee, which was convened in response to last summer's protests over the cost of living. Subsequent steps are expected to include a reduction of duties on products for which there is local competition. The Trajtenberg panel recommended these duties be eliminated over a period of two years; but in an effort not to hurt Israeli industry and under pressure from the manufacturers, the government decided to spread out the move over a longer period.
The second phase should also force Israeli manufacturers to lower their prices to meet the foreign competition. Similar steps to eliminate duties are expected to be taken in the future on food imports.

Turkey Chilli is one of those meals you love to have on a nice brisk fall or winter day.
I thought I left the cold and frigid temperatures of the midwest. But on contraire, mother nature said this weekend.
We started hearing early last week that we were supposed to get some snow come the weekend.
We didn't realize how serious it was here in good ol' North Carolina. Not until we attempted to hit the store Thursday. We decided to run during the week in lieu of our normal Saturday grocery trip. Just in case we were "snowed in".
When we pulled up to the grocery store we were amazed to see that everybody and their mother and mother's cousin was there. You would have thought we wouldn't have access to bread and milk for weeks. The way these people were piled in the store was unreal.
No lie, the lines at Walmart were legit longer than any time I had been in there during the Christmas season.
While I didn't let my anxiety win. I have to say it was quite the grocery trip for a midday run. I mean did everyone leave work to go grocery shopping??
Friday came and the hail started and we were lucky to be able to entertain "fast food Friday". Places were closing early left and right.
Once we got settled the snow started to lightly fall.
We woke up Saturday to people sledding in the streets.
It was ha-larious. Here we are used to 7+ inches of snow and frigid temperatures for 7-9 months out of the year. And we were now "snowed in" with a mere 2 inches of snow.
Sunday the snow covered ground turned to ice. It continued to be a winter wonderland. We got the call that school was even going to be closed come Monday.
While Turkey Chilli was on the menu for the week, I figured what better day than this frigid southern snow in.
So I went to the pantry and rounded up my supplies and hit the stove.
My family is a no beef and no pork bunch of folks. Therefore, any recipes that would call for ground beef are usually made with ground turkey, turkey italian sausage or a combination of both.
For turkey chilli I use both.
I have found that the trick to using ground turkey is ensuring that you season it properly. And folks who don't know how to do that, swear ground turkey is the pits. Until you eat at my house!
My chilli recipe is one with a little punch. Just enough to make the old man's head bead up in sweat. With a little bit of sweet to offset it.
Next time you are snowed in, or just need a quick meal to make on the fly, I offer you up the recipe to my Simple and Easy Turkey Chilli.
|Prep Time
|10 minutes
|Cook Time
|40 minutes
- seasoning salt to taste
- garlic salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- chilli powder to taste
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/4 tsp siracha hot sauce
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can whole kernel corn
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 can tomato paste
- 2 cans light kidney beans
- 2 cans dark kidney beans you could use 4 cans of any kidney bean type you like I just like the color variety
Canned Goods
- Put ground Turkey in large pot.
- Cut the skin off the individual Italian turkey links and place them in pot.
- Season meat to liking
- Stir and crumble often.
- While meat is browning, open all canned goods.
- Once meat is brown with minimal to no juice let start pouring in tomatoes, beans, and corn.
- Stir to mix.
- Add can of tomato sauce and paste and stir well.
- Decrease hit to med-low and let simmer stirring occasionally. For about twenty minutes.
- Once it appears to start thickening, add siracha and sugar. Stir well.
- Let simmer for twenty more minutes and remove from heat.
Serve warm with rolls or saltine crackers.
The four seasonings listed are what I use. It is suggested that you season your meat to your liking and taste preferences.

We had the pleasure of hosting a race for our local cub scouts.
9 of the little guys showed up, with one girl and they brought company (the parents)
Lizzy did not intend to race, but when she did she took to the track right away and almost won the main event, second by only 2 laps.
The excitement carried over to the parents for their race, which ended up being a lower lap total than the kids. Now granted the power was turned up, but still, they should have done better. J They blamed the marshalling for their outcome…lol. I don't think so!
All-in-all it was a great day of racing. Nice to introduce some new people to the hobby. Any other cub scout packs who would like to race, please let us know.
Thanks and hope to see you guys again soon.

I started taking Phentermine HCL 30mg Capsules in Feburary got hives end of March is it from this drug it is now aug 3 still have the itching and hives? Please help.
Would hives and itching that has lasted for 4 months be from Phentermine?

Responses (2)
Signs of an allergic reaction, hives, are side effects of Phentermine, which need the intervention/medical advice.
It is possible that one may experience some or none of the phentermine side effects. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to tell whether any particular side effect is actually caused by phentermine or other factors. Therefore, make sure to let the doc who prescribed the med know if one develop any side effects while taking phentermine or if something "just does not seem right." While it may not be a side effect, the doc will be able to diagnose and treat the problem.
Be well & safe!

I recently did an a/b test with a few different JG rigs and what I found was surprising. The main thing that made the SWEET sound was the speaker cab/speakers. Out of the three different cabs I tested only one cab sounded the sweetest. All three cabs we hard trucker 2x12 and all speakers we jbl e120s.
The one that sounded the best was the most used and beat up cab of the bunch. There is even a tear in one of the speakers! Undeniably, this cab sounded best - even when used by all the different rigs. It was more "airy", "wet" and easy on the ears.
The other cabs were clean but very punchy and harsh. We are going to try running some sound through them to break them in a bit and see if that makes a difference.
Just thought I would let you all know!

text: Does anyone have a Billygoat vacuum with the optional swivel kit? I have a Snapper vac and the plastic wheels snapped. I don't want to put plastic spoke wheels back on it if I can find some 14" steel wheels but if I have to I'd like to be able to swivel the front and I'd like to see if I can adapt the Billygoat kit to my vac. Also, if anyone knows where I can get 14" steel wheels or some sort of spoked bicycle wheel I would appreciate it. Thanks, Tony

Chevrolet Dealer in Decatur Reviews the New Camaro
Faster, stronger and more advanced than ever, the all-new 2016 Chevy Camaro offers the classic Camaro charm with a modernized twist. Now including a leaner frame, innovative technologies and new powertrain options, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro in Decatur is the ideal performance vehicle for contemporary drivers who desire an up-to-date sports car with an iconic legacy. For more information about the sixth-generation Camaro, check out additional information below in our 2016 Chevy Camaro review!
Now enhanced with a more agile appearance, the 2016 Chevy Camaro sheds 200 pounds of curb weight in order to create a quicker and more efficient version of Chevy's classic sports car. Designed for aerodynamic optimization, the Camaro offers less drag, improved downforce and an extremely reactive driving experience. Additionally, the interior offers more space, less clutter and more innovative technologies like the next-generation MyLink system, a redesigned instrument cluster, an electronic parking brake and a state-of-the-art Drive Mode selector. Plus, with the option of 10 exterior colors, 5 interior colors, convertible capability and an LED lighting system, the 2016 Chevy Camaro in Decatur provides buyers with a unique and customizable experience.
The 2016 Camaro includes six incredible powertrain options, as well as the choice of a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The standard engine, a 2.0L Turbo with four-cylinders, offers 275 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. For additional power, buyers can select an all-new 3.6L V6 that delivers 335 horsepower. Both the 2.0L Turbo and V6 models come with mechanical sound enhancers and a dual-mode exhaust system so that drivers can personalize their exhaust sound.
At the top of this year's Camaro lineup, the redesigned Camaro SS utilizes a 6.2L LT1 V8 engine that produces an SAE-certified 455 horsepower for exceptional performance on the track or around town. Plus, the available Magnetic Ride Control active suspension system analyzes road conditions 1,000 times a second to equip the more powerful Camaro SS with even more stability and output.
An extraordinary version of Chevy's classic performance car, the all-new Camaro is an elite choice according to 2016 Chevy Camaro reviews.

I arrived at Isfahan at 5:30 in the morning when the bus terminus was gradually wake up at dawn. The travelers scattered around as if the station was conducting its metabolism. Sleepy, I lean against the chair to wait for the conductor. After reassuring the timetable of the bus towards the international airport, I bought the ticket for fourth day after. Isfahan would be my trip termination of Iran. The moment when I stepped out of the station, the street there was filled with taxi, taking away passengers one after another. I stopped one of them, and told the name and address of the hotel to the driver. The driver reached out his hands and made two gestures, two fingers of one hand, while five fingers of the other hand. I asked, "Does it mean 25 thousand Rials?" The driver nodded and then I jumped onto the cab.

First Sight at the Half the World-Iran
Report Abuse
There was not much surprise on the first sight at Isfahan. The straight road design here is similar to that of Jiayuguan which is also located in desert. However, there are more trees here in Isfahan which let me think about the word "oasis". The hotel which I planned to lodge was just besides the street where many trees were planted. The signboard of the hotel is small but correct. I took out 25 thousand Rials and handed it to the driver. But his hands were shaking with doubting expression in his eyes. "Are 25 thousand Rials correct?" By shaking his head, the driver took out a pen and wrote on his hand the number 50000. "But you've said 25 thousand Rials were correct." I said to him while making the gestures of two and five by my hands. He looked at my gestures and showed me again the number on his hand. I then realized that he might not understand English. But I was also confused. Did he contradict himself or just because I misunderstood that gesture? But the driver actually nodded and we've reached an agreement on the price before I got on the car. I won't pay him the extra money. Both sides didn't compromise with each other and such dispute remained to the reception desk of the hotel. I then begged the boss of the hotel to translate for me but the latter simply refused and it seemed that he usually did so. At that moment, anger came overwhelmed me. What I was angry about was not the extra 25 thousand Rials, but the hotel boss' attitude of unwilling to offer help. If he could convey the driver's meaning, the quarrel might have been solved, but he didn't do so. Then, I chose not to stay in this hotel and left instantly after paying another 5 thousand Rials to the driver. "That what I can pay at most and it is up to you to decide to take it or not." Although I knew that he might not understand what I said, I still said those words. Murmuring something in the mouse, the driver left away and disappeared. I had no other choice besides this hotel on my notebook. So I could do nothing but find other place to live in along the street one building after another. While walking, I was wondering whether I had misunderstood the driver. I remembered that I once discussed with travelers from other countries the topics about the gesture and found that despite there is little difference between the gestures from the number 1-10. Maybe the real meaning of the driver was 50 thousand, but I did misread it as 25 thousand.
Report Abuse
I almost had walked through the whole street and found an appropriate suite for one person at the place around the Si-o-seh pol. The room located on the second floor, while the third floor is for dinning. Taking a look from the windows in the dinning hall, one would see the spread part of the branches. The service person who gave an introduction to the environment was very enthusiastic with a smile expression on his face. When he handled the key to me, I asked him occasionally, "Do you know how much does it cost to take a taxi to the station from here?" He answered smilingly with his eyes looking like smiling, "About 50 to 60 Rials." "Oh, get it." With fragrance coming from the kitchen, I then said "I'm looking forward to the breakfast tomorrow."
Report Abuse
I took the key and back to my room to sleep till the middle of the day. I felt hungry when woke up, Then I took the bag and went on streets for something to eat. In the morning, even the silent street became crowded. Shops were filled with the street on its both sides. The most popular shops are those selling fast food or restaurants which sell fruit juice or ice-cream. Among the rest are the high quality hotel, boutiques, photo studios and souvenir shops, etc. It was the first time that I saw so many young ladies on the street who were wearing slim cut clothes chatting and smiling with each other while walking in twos and threes. Similar crowded scene, but the crowded Isfahan is different from that in Teheran. This place was filled with a light rhythm like taking a walk on the piano keys. I ate a piece of Falafel burg, and continued my trip. I crossed multi-thread one-way streets and the island which was filled with tree shades and unconsciously came to the Imam Square.
Report Abuse
Imam Square is currently the third largest square in the world which is made up of a corridor construction with the dimension of 508 meters in length and 106 meters in width. Apricum Palace and Lotf Allah Mosque are located facing with each other on the two longer sides. And the Mosque with the same name and the imperial market occupy the two shorter sides. Shopping arcades are countless inside and outside the corridor, such as handmade jewelry store, silverware shops, hand-painted porcelain shop, Backgammon stores, carpet shop, dessert shop, etc. All the shops with or without names are located here. In the center of the square lies a rectangle pond. The fountain spouted several glittering and translucent curves. The short trees and smooth lawn are lying around the square. Travelers were taking a walk on the square or having picnics on the lawn and occasionally taking a carriage traveling around seeing each other while regarding each other as parts of the scenery.
Iranians regarded Isfahan as [Half the World]. Located in the center point of the Southern Silk Road, the city once gathered businessmen and businesswomen and travelers from all around the world and witnessed the rapid development of culture, architecture and art. It seemed that the world essence was concentrated on this place at that time. Isfahan is the heart of Iran where a powerful cultural history is expressed from this place. Isfahan is the proud of Iranians. If you are travelling in Iran, you must be asked: "Have you been to Isfahan yet?

I spent the whole afternoon till dusk at the Imam square. On my way to the hotel, I paid a visit to the Si-o-seh pol. The river bed was barely exposed in the air. The scene made the stone bridge like a dam with lights on it or a city wall. The temperature declined drastically at night. I was shaking myself while counting the bridge's holes from 1 to 33 and then stood at the end of the bridge looking at the beautiful night. Someone told me at that time that the river's water would be back when the snow from the north place melt.
Report Abuse
On the second day, I started from the Imam Square and traveled through the complex Imperial Market and got lost for several times and then finally came to the Grand Friday Mosque. I once thought that the mosque were just the same. I found myself to be wrong the moment when I stepped into the Grand Friday Mosque. This mosque was a complexity of numerous mosques in different times. The mosques in the four directions looked unique and different from each other, which would give you a great treat like buying an ice-cream. The oldest mosque was made up of simple stone bricks and soil structure. Therefore, all the lines and forms should be expressed through the change of the structure and that of the light, which was as difficult as using white pigment to draw picture on white paper. The demon was hiding in the details but I saw the god. He as if came down on the light beam and he would live in those who touched that light.
Report Abuse
Apart from those tourist spots, I found a comfortable corner. That was a coffee house in the deep end of the twist lane beside the Imam Square. Combining calmness and crowdedness, this coffee shop provided free network access and various spice tea. Then, on the following day I took several postcards and came here to spend a whole afternoon while connecting the other half of the world. Despite it was a waste to leave out those spots, I really liked to spend time writing down the feeling of the trip as a conclusion just like writing a footnote. I thought that this was the charm of Isfahan. It made me calm down and let me trace back the neither too slow nor too fast rhythm as well as the fantasy which was left behind on the trip.
Report Abuse
At the moment, I was sitting on the slow movement object which was called as vehicle. A certain direction first appeared and then the sound together with subtle vibration then came. Looking up, I found the charming fireworks in the sky. In despite of its instantaneity, it indeed caught my heart. And it seemed that I took this vehicle only to catch up with this instantaneity.
However, after seeing the firework, I had to continue my trip home.

"Do you know how much does it cost to take a taxi to the station from here?" He answered smilingly with his eyes looking like smiling, "About 50 to 60 Rials." "Oh, get it." >>
Katie, it sounds like an amazing trip [or the first part of a novel] but if you'd already been in Iran for some time, surely you knew roughly how much a taxi should cost from the airport to the centre of Isfahan? if this is right, you were still spectacularly overcharged even at 25,000 Rials.
did your host in the new hotel mean perhaps 50,000 Rials? I see that 25,000 Rials equal $.80 today, so 50,000 Rials probably was about right - about $2. frankly, for that amount, why quibble?
is this perhaps one of the problems of being a sole [female] non-iranian speaking tourist in Iran?

text: I clozed my account literally 3 minutes ago and here's why. They give me this ridiculous credit line of $250 which if you have ever looked at Fingerhuts prices that does not allow you to buy much. Especially if your into electronics like I am. I sent them a email requesting a larger line of credit a couple of times telling them I was interested in buying a 55 inch tv. They told me they do not accept credit line increases. Their faq page says they reveiw your acct 3 ... times a year well I think thats not true because if they did they would want to know why someone would open a credit line and not use it for almost a year. I got tired of waiting and bought a tv locally with my credit card which has a limit over 10 times what Fingerhut gave me. So now that I was fed up with Fingerhut I sent them 1 last email and told them if they were unable to give me an increase in my limit then I was going to close my account. This women called me and told me the same garbage about not taking credit increase requests. So I told her to close my account. She says we take Visa and Mastercard and I thought why on earth would I use my credit card to buy from Fingerhut and pay more, wait for them to ship it and hope it gets here undamaged on when they say when I can just go to a local store pay a lot less and have it that day. So folks save yourselfs some aggravation and just get a credit card. Let Fingerhut keep not taking credit line increases and lose money while you enjoy your purchases that day. More Less

text: While George Bush was busy trying to recall why he shat his pants during the 9/11 attacks, perhaps he should have been explaining how he turned Clinton's surplus into a record deficit. This NY Times opinion piece contains a chart that gives a clear breakdown of the costs. Contrary to what some in Congress would have you believe, the big bad health care reform plan is not the problem. In fact, it is the smallest cost in the chart. The biggest? Yup, you guessed it, the Bush Tax Cuts…bigger than all of Obama's costs and projected costs combined! Cutting health care, education and other domestic spending will not solve the problem….."you can't close the door, when the wall's caved in" or sumpin' like that. (BTW – Happy Birthday Jerry…)
