Just back from a week in London after a cruise and am here to report some, I'm afraid, big changes in TKTS in Leicester Square in London. For years, I went there on many a morning to pick up half price theatre tickets. However, this past week there were some unpleasant surprises.
Gone are the boards with the shows listed most of which had a 50% discount (some had lesser discounts and a few were full price) as well as the electronic board that listed the acdtual prices. Instead there was a print out listing the shows available and the prices. And most of them no longer had a 50% discount....some had a 25% discount and even less. Fewer shows, at least it seemed to me, were avalable.
As a matter of fact, the whole Leicester Square asrea left something to be desired. Last time I was in London in February, the whole park there wass closed for renovation (as was so much else of London for the Olympics or at least under construction). The park has reopened at Leicester Square and all around the park is this concrete ledge on the outside serving as a seating area. Gone are the benches inside the park that made this a pleasant place to sit. Also not yet re-opned (I don't know if they're going to be) are the public loos that while not the cleanest in the world were at least usable for somebody in distress or with certain problems caused b y old age.
The whole area just not the same!

Report Abuse
Oh no will have to check that out...there have been many outcries from londoners about the renos!!
Report Abuse
I found the majority of shows were indeed 1/2 price. A handful were reduced 25%, and a couple were full price. Went there twice Jubilee weekend. Didn't buy one night (Mon) since there was not much available that I had not seen previously, got 1/2 price tix for 39 steps on Tues.
The board is gone but there was a list posted w/ "1/2 price", "25% off", and "full price" notations.
Report Abuse
You might be right in terms of sheer numbers, Janis, and I didn't write there is a sheet of paper listing what is available at the side of the windows. It really just didn't seem the same; I did miss the board and being able to talk with others on the queue as we headed for the windows and looked at the shows listed.
Coupled with the whole scene in Leicester Square which I even hard some Londoners complain about....all this long re-development and this is what we end up with...a concrete "bench" circling the whole periphery of the park just didn't seem right but perhaps I am being unfair.
Report Abuse
Bummer. Keep in mind that you can still check out prices for last minute tickets at the box office at the venue itself -- 1/2 hour before showtime ("standby"), as well as student and I think OAP tickets on the cheap.
Finally, timeout.com does some pretty good discounts. see
Report Abuse
Just use the website to find out what is and will be available
Report Abuse
We're hoping to catch Wicked & it looks like TKTS doesn't discount it at all.
Would showing up at the box office the day of the show be our best option if we don't want to order in advance?
Are standby seats usually discounted?

Wicked doesn't need to discount tickets. It sells out at full price (and many pay touts over face value). If Wicked is a 'must see' for you, then book through the official website as soon as you know your date(s).

" got 1/2 price tix for 39 steps on Tues." @ janisJ
would you recommend 39 steps? we are looking for something British and not to expensive next Mon or Tues!
Report Abuse
39 steps was absolutely hysterical! High theatre it wasn't - but it is wonderfully acted and the staging is really inventive/verging on silly. It was a great night out.
I wanted to see One Man two Guvs but the available seats weren't very good - hopefully I'll see it in the Fall. So 39 steps was sort of a fall back and I'm really glad I saw it.
Report Abuse
Greetings from London. there are discount shops near the tkts booth and they have better discounts for some shows. I was all set to pay full price at tkts for Wicked 2 days ago when I saw a shop sign offering tix for 30% off, and I got a really good seat in the stalls. Also managed to get full price ticket for Matilda which wasn't available at the box office that morning. The lady said they NEVER get return tickets, so I assume these discount shops get them. If you have the time, it's worthwhile to walk around a little. and check online too.
Report Abuse
I saw One man two guvnors 4 days ago and it was excellent. I got a ticket at tkts and it was a good seat. I was disappointed with Yes Prime Minister. 39 steps I saw 2 years ago and still smile when I walk pass any poster of it, very clever and funny. Going to get ticket for Sweeney Todd tonight, I read good reviews. And Matilda was worth paying full price for.
Report Abuse
I was afraid when I saw the constuction on Leicester Square that it wold be changed ANd you've confirmed it! we got cheap tickets for one man 2 guvs at the book office the morning of performance,

Handed down from on high, there is a formerly unwritten (but now totally written) code of Commandments by which all guys are judged. There are actually 14 of them, but we've cut out the unimportant bits because it's easier for you, and 10 is nice round number.
The following article does not represent the opinions of Spike TV or its affiliates.
10. Know your sports teams and keep Sunday holy for them.
Sunday is a day of rest, relaxation, and reverence for bone-crunching, action-packed, modern-day gladiatorial combat. Church is optional (we'd rather drink blood than wine posing as blood). It is advisable to take in the sacrament – to eat of the body of Little Caesars and to drink the blood of Pabst Blue Ribbon until you, too, are ready to get critically injured on the 50 yard line.
9. Thou shall know what thou art doing.
Instruction manuals and road maps are for frail men, namby-pambies, and the f****** French. Stopping at gas stations or "consulting a professional" is an affront to the Commandments, to yourself, and to your bros. Don't do it. Our satchels cringe at the thought.
8. Thou shall not make wrongful use of crying.
Leave crying to your child-bearing mate. Or save it for particularly forceful pepper sprayings or the untimely passing of loyal canines. Unacceptable instances include weddings, funerals, child births, non-critical injuries, critical injuries, or any cinematic experience whatsoever.
7. Thou shall know thy apartment and keep it holy.
Guys have a different set of standards about cleanliness. Embrace them. Unless you wore a t-shirt while searing bloody animal flesh, building a bar onto your garage, or crash landing a single-prop airplane, hanging it in the window is just as good as washing it. Dishes (if you have something other than paper plates) are to be done when you have not a single clean dish left. This means you might eat Easy Mac out of a big coffee mug. Delicious.
6. Thou shall know thy man-skills.
True men have the wisdom to change a tire, give a woman our seed, and grill a steak. The best of us accomplish at least two of these simultaneously.
5. Thou shall not commit adultery with your bro's lady.
Also un-kosher are his ex, his sister (unless you marry her), or anybody where specific romantic intent is declared. But, it's probably okay if it's not your bro that is the cuckold in question. This is an especial truth if the lady is "mega foxy" or the cuckold is a "mega tool" (or if you are just super bored and horny).
4. Thou shall not covet thy bro's s***.
Your bro's lady, his total gym, his #6 combo, and his limited edition, signed replica of the Blade Runner pistol are his, not yours. Stop dreaming. Dreams are for second year psych majors and the terminally ill. The only acceptable time to covet your bro's things is when he has cold beers in the fridge. It's well understood that he'll be coveting yours when at your home.
3. Thou shall know when to bear false witness.
A woman thought her husband was cheating on her, and one night he didn't come home after he'd gone out with his friends. The next morning she confronted him, and while he stood next to her, she called each of his friends to ask after him. Of the five friends called, four of them insisted that he had spent the night on their couch. The last one insisted that he was still there, sleeping. At least she didn't smell his d***.
2. Have no false hos before bros.
When in dire straights with Job-like circumstances, it is your bros who will be there for you. Hos, on the other hand, will be shopping. The fairer sex loves shopping. A notable exception to this rule is if, in the course of a "guys' night," a guy is afforded an opportunity to bed a ho that is at least an eight out of 10.
1. Honor thy bro.
And take not his name in vain, for he is your bro, and he is good. When the chips are down and you're hungover, having slept three hours late, there's only one guy that you can call to pretend to be the guy that ran into your car with a Ditch Witch even though the last time he talked to your boss he was a claims adjuster. This is your true bro.

Where: The Hotel Windsor, 111 Spring Street, Melbourne
Time: 8.30am - 5pm
Enquiries: Please email firstname.lastname@example.com
The conference aimed to create a shared understanding of how we can make the best use of the data, information tools, connectivity and collaboration afforded by digital technologies to improve learning outcomes for young Australians. The program began with a keynote from Professor John Hattie, Director of the Melbourne Education Research Institute and included panel discussions and presentations from leading educators, policy makers and IT solution providers from all States and Territories. The program also included round table discussions providing an opportunity to set goals for improving the way we use data to better support individual learners and pursue national goals for improvement across the school education sector.
An outline of the program with links to the presentations follows.
Conference Chair: Peter Titmanis, Executive Director, Innovation, Dept of Education and Training, WA
|Opening Keynote: "Optimising the power of data" - Professor John Hattie
Panel - Connecting with learning
The growing emphasis on individualised learning and uptake of online tools for learning, assessment and reporting demands improved capabilities for managing student data and for exchanging data securely with online service providers. This panel will examine recent developments and new options for connecting students effectively to the modern, digitally enabled learning environment.
Session Chair: Mark Huxley, CIO, ACT Education and Training Directorate
|Morning tea
Panel - Evidence of learning
Learning occurs in many contexts and comprehensively collecting evidence of learning and learner progress is a challenge for educators. Whilst technology is contributing to the diversity of learning experiences and in some ways contributing to the challenge it also offers some solutions. The panel will highlight new approaches to gathering evidence as well as the benefits of taking some traditional approaches online.
Session Chair: Susan Mann, CEO, Education Services Australia.
|Learning Impact Awards
Panel - Making sense and making a difference
With increasing volumes data come the challenges of collation, interpretation and choice between courses of action that will assist learners. The panel will review tools that teachers, parents and policy makers will use and the skills they will need to make good use of data to support learning and pursue targets for improvement.
Session Chair: Jenny Donovan, GM Strategic Information and Reporting, NSW Department of Education

Joe Manganiello teams up with Arnold Schwarzenegger for the new action-thriller Sabotage from writer-director David Ayer (Training Day, End of Watch). Like his book Evolution: The Cutting Edge to Breaking Down Mental Walls and Building the Body Youve Always Wanted, Manganiello has evolved from being Alcide in True Blood to starring in major Hollywood films like Magic Mike and Sabotage which opens nationwide on March 28.
What got him attracted to making Sabotage and how was it working with his childhood idol, Schwarzenegger? Oh, and the inspiration behind his look in the movie!

Michael Pena is one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth guys in Hollywood! Thats why his new role, Cesar Chavez, is a perfect fit for the actor. Like the activist leader, Pena is humble and speaks the truth. And yes, he gained weight to play the part!
The last time I spoke with the actor, it was for the fantastic End of Watch in 2012. Now, the actor is in a quiet, soulful movie about how a revolution happened. In this interview, we talked about his interest for the role, gaining weight, and the big part that the Filipino people had in the revolution led by Chavez.

America Ferrera stars as Helen Chavez, the wife of our hero played by Michael Pena, in the new political drama, Cesar Chavez. The last time I spoke with the actress, it was for How to Train Your Dragon, four years ago. Now, Ferrera is tackling more grown-up roles that challenge her.
In this interview, we talked about her interest in making Cesar Chavez, the importance of Helen in the life of Cesar Chavez, how she researched the part, and the rise of a revolution.

Diego Luna, the actor who made his mark in Y Tu Mama Tambien, makes his English-language directorial debut with Cesar Chavez, a passionate film about the activist leader. Michael Pena stars in the title role with America Ferrera playing his wife, Helen. John Malkovich, Wes Bentley, and Rosario Dawson complete the cast. Cesar Chavez opens in theaters on March 28.
In this interview, we talked about Lunas interest in making the movie, how he researched the film, and the importance of the Filipino farm workers in shaping the revolution.

Aloe Blacc is having a great momentum! Starting with his collaboration with Avicii last year, the Billboard smash Wake Me Up, Blacc followed that with the addictive The Man single, his new album (which I love, by the way) called Lift Your Spirit, and then now, hes on Americas favorite singing competition, The Voice, as a mentor for Team Adam. I sat down with the singer/songwriter to talk about:
*** His interest in joining The Voice and Team Adam
*** Why is The Voice such a big hit?
*** His advice to the contestants
*** Would he join The Voice if hes just starting out?
*** Working with Avicii
*** What advice would he give to Madonna since the Queen of Pop is currently working with Avicii for her new album
*** What surprises are in store for his upcoming performance at the super-hot Coachella Music Festival?

Don't Have Plastic Surgery Without Reading This Article Firstposted on 29 Sep 2013 19:23 by sensiblemental278
Research all facets of your own surgery, together with your surgeon and hospital, before scheduling any procedure. There are numerous critical factors involved, that you should know, and can get in this content below. Keep reading to help with making your surgery a success.
Talk with your plastic surgeon to discover if you want to make any changes to yourself, ahead of the procedure. Perhaps you will need to trim your hair or shave some part of the body.
Before heading through with surgery, be sure that you consider any alternative options. Many times there are actions you can take which are less invasive. Dermatologists, special cosmetics and certain home made remedies can provide enough improvement that surgery will not be needed in fact.
Perform a little research to determine in the event the surgeon you are considering carries a policy about revisions. There are lots of times that surgeons botch procedures, and you have to cover a bunch of money to get corrective surgery. Some surgeons, however, give you a year's guarantee you may have any corrections done at no additional cost in the first year following your surgery.
Ask the doctor about any possible risks associated with the surgery. Also ask him what he does to help lessen the potential risks. Conduct your personal research to ensure what your doctor notifys you holds true, and make certain to make your mind up considering all potential dangers.
Confer with your surgeon and get them about past procedures they are linked to. Ask to view photos of former patients and discuss how often these procedures happen to be performed before by your surgeon. In terms of getting good results from cosmetic surgery, there aren't any guarantees, but choosing a qualified and experienced doctor can make it more likely you will get the outcome you want.
You need to be aware that scars and pain often accompany plastic surgery. Most people are not informed about precisely how painful the post-operative period may be. It will be possible to heal more quickly should you mentally prepare yourself to the pain that you simply will experience post-procedure.
To save money on the cost of your procedure, discuss being placed on an on-call list. That means, if you have a cancellation, you would jump into that spot and get surgery with minimal notice. Doctors could possibly lose money when someone cancels, so by giving you a discount, they end up not losing their money.
Increased confidence is among the advantages of getting surgical treatment. Cosmetic surgery is wonderful for people with had accidents, like burns. When someone has a horrible burn, they might not feel confident with their appearance cosmetic surgery is a great choice for their self esteem.
Before opting to turn to plastic cosmetic surgery, try to fix anything you are unhappy with. It can be normally harmless, but all surgery carries some risk. Many issues you could have, such as carrying excess fat, can be fixed through the use of less drastic measures.
Respect the opinions of your doctor about plastic surgery. When a doctor lets you know you should not have access to something done as it is unsafe, there's a good chance they understand well what the risks are going to you. On the other hand, if this seems the physician is trying to get you to definitely make a move unsafe, speak with an alternative physician. Following these steps will assist ensure that any procedure you will get can be as safe as it could be.
Ensure that the surgeon you selected is certified from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. If they are not, you should think of going to see another person. Inquire using the surgeon how frequently they have got carried this out particular procedure.
Cosmetic plastic surgery enables you to correct a huge number of flaws. With any luck, this information has answered a lot of your questions involving surgical treatment and you may begin moving forward with the process of possessing a great new look.

Following a widely publicised debate surrounding the revaluation of business rates, which has seen some small businesses faced with dramatic hikes to their bill, it was expected that Chancellor Philip Hammond would address these concerns in his Spring Budget. He did not disappoint. In a welcome move for small business owners negatively affected by the forthcoming changes, Hammond revealed a series of measures designed to limit the impact.
While Hammond said it was not possible to abolish business rates altogether due to them raising a vital £25bn a year for the Treasury, he unveiled a three point plan of attack backed by a £435m package to help those businesses facing the biggest increases.
Craig joined Eddisons in 2011 as an Associate Director after spending 17 years in Leeds in the business rates environment. He has acted for many clients from single property owners to multinationals on a wide range of property from shops to concrete batching plants.
Craig has over 20 years' experience in the rating field, but the ever-evolving and complex issues in this area means he continues to develop his experience and knowledge.

WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush and senior administration officials affirmed the U.S. commitment to expanding the production and use of biofuels when they spoke before 2,800 delegates from 119 nations assembled at the Washington International Renewable Energy Conference March 4-6. President Bush and his advisers said they recognized expanded use of food and feed crops in the production of biofuels had some effect on U.S. and world food prices, but indicated other factors exerted greater upward pressure on food prices in recent months. The administration view was the food-versus-fuel controversy is "manageable."
President Bush said of the biofuels biodiesel may be the most promising, indicating biodiesel refineries may produce fuel from soybean oil and other vegetable oils as well as from recycled cooking grease and other waste materials.
"Last year, we produced 450 million gallons of biodiesel," President Bush said. "That's up 80% from 2006. Today, there are more than 650 biodiesel fueling stations in America. There are hundreds of fleet owners that use biodiesel to fuel their trucks, and that's just the beginning of what is going to be a substantial change in our driving habits.
"Corn ethanol holds a lot of promise, but there are challenges. If you're a hog raiser in the U.S., you're beginning to worry about the cost of corn to feed your animals. I'm beginning to hear complaints from our cattlemen about the high price of corn. The high price of corn is beginning to affect the price of food.
"And so we got to do something about it, and the best thing to do is not to retreat from our commitment to alternative fuels, but to spend research and development money on alternatives to ethanol made from other materials. For example, cellulosic ethanol holds a lot of promise."
Secretary of Agriculture Ed Schafer said renewable fuels are a "wonderful" alternative to fossil fuels and a "fantastic" opportunity for agriculture, but they are not without environmental concerns.
"We cannot simply declare ethanol to be the fuel of the future and start sowing all our fields with corn and sugar cane and other potential feed stocks," he said. "Developing a productive industry for renewables while also meeting the existing needs for agriculture products will take careful planning."
Mr. Schafer said biofuel energy will not be viable unless it graduates from subsidy support.
"So while we are committed to funding fledgling renewable industries and technologies, it is also important that we help them reach the point where they can stand on their own," he said.
Similarly, they must be produced in a way that is safe for the environment and allows a variety of land uses, Mr. Schafer said.
"For biofuels in particular, we need to balance the demand for renewable energy with the requirements of our food supply," he said. "We need to be cognizant of the indirect relationship between rising food prices and greater demand for biofuels."
Charles Conner, deputy secretary of agriculture, addressed the food-versus-fuel controversy directly. Mr. Conner said the consumer food price index is projected to rise 3% to 4% in 2008 compared with the average historical food price increase of about 2.5%. The rise in food costs is due to a number of factors, Mr. Conner asserted.
"The global economy is prospering, which stimulates the demand for food, and subsequently, the cost," he said. "Labor, advertising and energy costs have all risen in the past year as well. Unquestionably, the greater demand for crops like corn that the renewable fuel industry creates has an impact on food prices. But so do all of these other factors."
Mr. Conner said rising energy costs themselves might have the largest impact on rising food prices. He said in the United States, food processing consumes more energy than any other sector, when one considers energy
required for washing, refrigerating, packaging and transportation. Crude oil prices more than tripled in the last five years, increasing the costs of all these operations and contributing to the rise in food prices.
"In the long term, one of the best ways to keep food prices stable is to keep energy costs stable," Mr. Conner said. "And doing that will require us to create alternative energy sources."
Thomas C. Dorr, undersecretary of agriculture for rural development, asserted at the conference there was "a general recognition that the food versus fuel debate is manageable."
"Many critics have a surprisingly static view of the production potential of modern agriculture," Mr. Dorr added. "From an agricultural perspective, the question is not food versus fuel. It is food and fuel, and both are opportunities for agriculture."
Critics of the government's ethanol program were unconvinced. Richard Lobb, a spokesman for the National Chicken Council, Washington, said members of his industry incurred $3.4 billion in additional feed costs because of rising prices of corn and soybeans since September 2006. He acknowledged other factors contributed to the recent rise in feed and food prices but asserted the principal driver of higher prices was billions of dollars in federal incentives to the ethanol industry, including a 51c-per-gallon tax credit to companies blending ethanol into the gasoline supply.
Mr. Lobb said while crop shortfalls may provide temporary boosts to food prices, the distortions caused by the federal ethanol policy promised long-term strength in corn and soybean prices resulting in higher costs to meat producers and to the consuming public.
Mr. Lobb said the free market best weighs how crops should be used and that the federal government in providing subsidies to the ethanol sector put a "heavy thumb" on the scale, tilting usage increasingly in favor of the ethanol industry at the expense of the food industry. Addressing the argument that cellulosic materials ultimately will be more important than corn in the production of ethanol, Mr. Lobb made reference to a senior agribusiness executive who stated "cellulosic ethanol is about seven years down the road, and always will be."

"Such Care Shown"
About: Fairfield General Hospital Fairfield General Hospital Bury BL9 7TD
Posted via NHS Choices
Anything else?
My review is regarding my Uncles care received sat 26th Jan. Unfortunately my uncle passed away whilst there but the dedication of the staff was above and beyond. There are to many names to remember who treated him but they worked tirelessly to help him and kept me informed every step of the way. As i say, we lost my uncle but the dignity and care shown to him was amazing.
I cannot thank them enough for all they did and the care shown to myself also.
Their dedication was un-wavering and professional. A true credit to your hospital. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Did you miss out on Derringer in the Morning today? Here's the best of the best of what was talked about today!
It's freezing in Toronto today, but she's a Friday! There was a road rage incident on the 427 that has one man facing assault charges even though there was no physical violence involved. The Molson Canadian Ampitheatre is changing its name to the Budweiser Stage. Team Canada lost to Team USA last night in the World Junior Championship Game… In a shootout. That is no way to decide a championship game! With reality TV everywhere nowadays, Derringer explains how it started in the first place!
Definitely Derringer for Friday, Jan. 6, 2017.

Thank you for your interest in applying to the Esquimalt Farmers Market 2017 season!
From January to April there are monthly indoor pop-up markets inside Esquimalt Rec Centre, and from May to September there will be weekly outdoor markets at Memorial Park, our NEW LOCATION! See all market dates and times here.
Please apply with the correct application below for your product, ASAP. If you wish to be a vendor at the January Market, you must apply before the end of December 2016. In advance of applying, please ensure you read our Policies and Procedures here.
Farmer fees: Farmers, please note the INDOOR Pop Up Market fees will be $20/market. Due to the recent decision that EFM will join BCAFM (following a request to consider membership at our AGM in November 2016*) and that applications are already arriving, EFM is giving Farmers the choice in 2017 to pay $20/Market or the refundable $150 deposit for the OUTDOOR markets.
* BCAFM membership was suggested and welcomed by the majority of members at the meeting, and also that (given there was a deposit but no fees for farmers in seasons 1 & 2) EFM charge a stall fee to farmers to encourage financial sustainability, and use these funds to access the opportunities, advantages and knowledge that are accessible as a BCAFM member.
Note about VIHA guidelines from Eddie Fung at VIHA regarding meat, cheese & eggs…please read and understand the guidelines will be complied with by EFM:
-We have always required mechanical freezers or fridges for frozen meats or cheeses. In the past, especially on a hot summer days, coolers that are constantly being opened and closed are unable to maintain proper protective temperatures. Lower risk products such as eggs can be stored in coolers.
-If the market is indoors I can make the exemption for using coolers since the market only goes on for 3 hours. In May when the market moves outdoors then we would require mechanical refrigeration/freezers.
Body care products are regulated by Health Canada. Below are some links to further info and their contact information. Small scale farmers market sales may be exempt but it is best to check with them.
Musicians (note: $15 application fee is not applicable to musicians!)

Washington Dc, MD (PressExposure) July 01, 2009 -- Many people have resorted to having a website as a shortcut to success. Shortcut is the term used considering the fast-paced internet world where everything can change in just one click on the mouse. Many businesses have opted for a website for more enhanced traffic and revenues since the traditional media like the television and the radio has very limited access. With the internet, their businesses would thrive in every home and in every establishment where the internet has sneaked its way into. But the success of a business does not stop with just having a website. A San Diego web design acknowledges the need for a website to go far higher in the search engine rankings to be able to be clicked on more frequently.
On the other hand, having a website does not stop with just plain text and layout. A good website that takes in the top rankings is a site that balances layout and content. These essentials, when unified in coherence with the companyâs visions and mission, will perfectly bring about a top ranking site. Every San Diego web design expert understands the need for you to express the principles and goals of your company with every website design. A website that stays slumped below search engine rankings is a good-for-nothing work.
In San Diego web design, your company is perfectly embodied in every content and layout. Content is not just words per se. It is everything that the company wants to say. Conversational and brief content would surely retain and encourage more traffic. People would tend to click on another site if they find your website overloaded with information especially if you cater to technical and business matters. The conversational touch of the content will make the visitors feel at ease and comfortable while reading. Much more to this effect if the content is substantial enough to provide all the answers to their questions.
Furthermore, the layout also speaks for the company. Too savvy and mushy layouts tend to drive visitors away. Too much graphics and animations will also be disturbing and distracting for the visitor. Balance the color, movements and spaces in your site so to maintain a relaxing feel for the weary visitor. Inasmuch as there is a need to impress, too much of everything is detrimental. San Diego web design gives you a layout that relaxes the eyes through good combination of colors and animations. Experts in San Diego also places hyperlinks and tags that redirect visitors to the right pages and never bring them any sense of confusion.
Let your business be in good hands. Let San Diego web design experts bring you to the spotlight the way you could never imagine. Let their experience and expertise bring you the returns of investments you have never held in your own hands. Let your enterprise flourish the internet with a website that definitely works wonders in the haywire. Advance and dominate the internet with excellence. Scan San Diego and youâll find a hand that will lift you to top.

Tyler (KYTX) -- More small business owners are finding the Affordable Care Act tough to afford. According to a recent survey, more than 90 percent report health care reform is driving up premiums for their health plans.
We talked to an East Texas man who knows that all too well.
"If there's one message the Affordable Care Act is not affordable. It's not affordable for small business," Bob Westbrook, President of the East Texas Restaurant Association, said.
A few years ago when talk about President Obama's new health care plan hit the spotlight, Westbrook did the math. He had 96 full-time employees between his 4 Cici's pizza restaurants.
"It was going to cost $76,000 more than what I made at the restaurants just to pay the penalty and that didn't include the cost of health care for my employees," Westbrook said.
Of course, he would have liked to provide coverage for his team. But he says that wasn't a viable option.
"The coverage itself was going to be much more than what the penalty was so that's why I looked at the penalty first to see how the penalty was going to impact our business model," Westbrook said.
When both choices looked grim--Westbrook knew he'd either have to raise prices, or get out. In 2012, he sold his two Cici's restaurants in Tyler and others in Longview and Sulphur Springs. But that won't always be the case.
"The real loser in all of this is the consumer," Westbrook said.
The National Small Business Association recently surveyed nearly 800 small business owners. 1 in 4 report that during their most recent renewal, premiums jumped by more than 20 percent.
They report paying on average $1,121 dollars a month per employee for individual coverage, that's up from $590 in 2009.

The title of this one is a little misleading once you look at the pictures. There is, in fact, no house. The reason is fire. Now, one might assume that this is the reason it's an abandoned property. I'm not sure that's necessarily the case as the oil tank, traditionally stored right beside the house, shows no signs of having burned or being damaged as a direct result of fire.
There are many items left around, and that alone makes it worth stopping for a look if you find yourself in the area.

having been on NTL Broadband for over 12 months and recently upgraded to 1Mb, I finally convinced my in laws to get on the 128k package.
It is only now that I realise how bad NTL are at integrating as a company. Thankfully their service offerings are very stable and so I never have to deal with their support people. Bear with me this is long;
NTLWorld dialup is going up to £10 a month so they decided that for an extra £4.99, it's worth it.
10/1/2003 Sales staff called advising that they should go on 600k pack not 128k and then drop it down after 1 month so that they don't pay £25 connection fee. Then after 1 month they can drop down to 128k. Net cost is that they pay £25 for the first month which they don't need and I see nothing in the 12 month contract which states you can swap between bandwidths after 1 month.
13/1/2003 I contacted sales department told them that we want the 128k pack. Julian (sales operative) cancelled the order and installation date for 600k (which actually hadn't even been agreed to at this stage!) and enabled the 128k. I also asked him to cance the dialup (not needing it anymore) which he duly did. Told him I'd install it rather than incur the £25 charge - agreed.
13/1/2003 Arrived at inlaws house installed NIC and all OK.
20/1/2003 Bill arrives with 600kbps charge of £24.99 AND 128kbps charge of £14.99 along with a bill for £10 dialup for February. (Did I miss something or are NTL just incompetent in sales?) Mother In Law (MIL) rings NTL asking what's going on, NTL disable Broadband and tell her she'll have to go through the 'register your PC' again for broadband. MIL gets confused and calls me
21/1/2003 Eventually find that NTL had cancelled all broadband, got 128k reinstated and then ask can I simply transfer the old dialup email account to broadband. Told I can but because that would mean that the dialup account was live (and we're now into the next bililng period) I would be charged £10 and then I can transfer the account to a pay as you go. Eventually forget the whole lot, cancelled dial up (again) and started again with new email address (well I will when the registration server is working again).
Overall, pretty dire on NTL's behalf. Lots of information not given at the time of upgrading to BB from dialup and generally not able to process a simple transaction without passing you through 4 departments (At least I think it was 4, I got bored of counting after 3 passes)

Taylor Swift has released the official tracklisting to her new studio album 'Red'.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer took to her Twitter account this weekend to give her fans an insight into the 16 tracks which will feature on her highly anticipated new record.
The album will kick off with 'State Of Grace' before heading into the title track and another new song called 'Treacherous'.
The Country star has been giving previews of tracks for the past week on Good Morning America including 'Begin Again'.
Her Ed Sheeran collaboration is also unveiled to be called 'Everything Has Changed' and features later on in the album.
Meanwhile, the US star has been in the UK recently promoting her new album and sat down with Jonathan Ross for a chat on his TV show this weekend.
You can view a picture of Taylor being mobbed by fans in London recently below: (Picture: Splash)

Let's compare the Second Amendment to the First. People often do this, and it's actually very instructive. I'm not going to get into the actual language of each Amendment (let's leave that to the lawyers), but rather about the principles they embody.
The First Amendment tells us we have freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly (among others).
The Second gives us the right to bear arms.
Notice, though, that the First Amendment is not absolute. We have freedom of speech, yes, but we have still decided — as a society — that certain kinds of speech are illegal. For example, libel/slander are actionable. Speech, right? But illegal and punishable. Perjury, too. If you really think you have absolute freedom of speech in this country, try lying under oath. Go ahead and publish, sell, purchase, or download some child pornography and see what the District Attorney says when you invoke your First Amendment rights.
For that matter, if you think you have absolute freedom of assembly, trying sending some money to al-Qaeda. And watch what happens.
So… If it's OK to abridge our First Amendment rights for the betterment of society (and this point isn't up for argument — we already have!), then why on earth wouldn't it be OK to do the same with our Second Amendment rights?
Look, I hang out with some pretty liberal folks. And with rare exception, I've never heard anyone advocate eliminating guns from our society. There's usually some wishful thinking of, "It would be so nice if…" But everyone seems to acknowledge the impossibility of doing this. So, gun enthusiasts, no one is out to take away all your guns.
Just like the penalties of perjury aren't designed to take away your freedom of speech.
"Gun control" is designed — like the rare exceptions to speech — to protect society at large from those who would misuse an established right. Banning high-capacity ammo magazines and semi-automatic weapons doesn't stop a hunter from using rifles or shotguns. It doesn't stop you from buying a handgun for home protection, if you feel that's necessary.
Is the ACLU out there trying to get Congress to pass legislation that would make perjury legal? Or slander? Or donating money to terrorists?
No. The ACLU — certainly as close as we have to an absolutist organization vis-a-vis free speech — understands that society must, of necessity, curtail speech in specific, constrained instances in order to function.
Why do people not understand that this applies to the Second Amendment as well?
Yes, you have the right to bear arms. Plenty of arms. Lots and lots and lots of arms.
Just not all of them.

This book is intended as an introductory survey of the philosophy of the social sciences.
A highly reductive, generally biased, but not unengaging introductory survey of the philosophy of the social sciences. Elster's (political science, U. of Chicago) point of departure is the conflict we all face between our desires and our opportunities. How can rational choice theory help us understand our motivation and behavior? More significantly, what happens when the theory breaks down but we still cleave to a belief in the power of the rational? Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)


text: I purchased a bunch of the Fox titles that came out this past Tuesday and was struck by the includsion of two scenes in trailers that were not in the finished product. Of course, trailers are often made before the final product is edited so it's understandable so I was curious if other HTFers can come up with examples other than my two. The trailer for Warlock has a scene with Dorothy Malone telling Richard Widmark that she wants Henry Fonda killed and she'll do what she has to to get it done. The scene was removed from the film proper. The trailer for The Best Of Everything has a very brief glimpse of Joan Crawford at a bar talking to the bartender that is nowhere to be found in the film proper. Any other examples?

This article appears in the Feb. 22 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
He seemed sad, sitting there in the corner of the visitors' locker room at
Madison Square Garden. Speaking in a heavy, hushed tone, Hedo Turkoglu was
comparing past with present. And past was kicking present's butt. The
Raptors' prize off-season pickup had no idea that changing teams would also
mean changing fortunes. "Playing-wise, this is the toughest adjustment I've
had to make in my career," said Turkoglu, a 10-year vet. "I'm not happy with
the way I'm playing."
There's a fair amount of that going around. Turkoglu is just one of several
big names struggling to fit in.
Vince Carter, the man who replaced Turkoglu in Orlando, has been outplayed
by J.J. Redick recently and averaged just 8.7 ppg on 28% shooting in
January. He is also routinely benched in fourth quarters. In San Antonio,
Richard Jefferson has failed to provide the athletic spark or stout defense
needed to put the Spurs at eye level with the Lakers. And if you go back two
years, you can see one of the most disastrous free agent signings in league
history, Elton Brand. Instead of making the Sixers contenders, Brand -- and his
$80 million -- has made them duds.
On paper, each of those players boosts the talent level of his new team. So
why has that not translated to on-court wins? "It's about fit," says Pacers
GM David Morway. "It's much more complicated than getting good players."

A Body at it's Best
A great diet of nutritious foods provides the natural fuel to maintain youthfulness and long life but we are depriving ourselves of complete health and happiness if we do not include a good exercise program. I recommend developing a healthy, safe and lifelong commitment to exercise. It is best to carefully set realistic goals after meeting with your doctor. He or she may recognize your strengths and limitations and can work with you to achieve permanent results. Find activities and programs that interest you and rotate them so that you always enjoy your workouts.
So what can you do? Jogging, walking, swimming, aerobics, tennis,... just about anything. The main thing is to commit, begin, and stay with it. Exercise goal and commitment realizations are greatly increased when you involve a friend. I highly recommend this and it makes the time go by faster and it is more enjoyable.
Why exercise? Improve the cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, immune, metabolic, systems just to name a few. If you are committed to taking supplements to help these critical bodily systems, go the "extra mile" (or more) and include exercise. You will feel and look younger, have more energy, and enjoy all the physical pleasures of a healthy life.
Here are some helpful links on exercise:
