There are many condos to choose from for your vacation needs. How do you choose? First you have to decide what amenities are important to you because everyone has a different idea of luxury. If you are looking for a condo that has everything you need (so you don't have to bring a lot with you), that offers a secure place to vacation, that is kept up to date and clean, and that has a great view, then you have come to the right place. With 55 acres in our gated community you have many amenities that other places can't offer. We have nine tennis courts in their own beautiful location by the bay (instead of on a garage rooftop) that offer many opportunities for organized play. We also have a dedicated room for socials where you can join others in card games or social gatherings, beautifully landscaped grounds, and the section of beach most popular for shelling, walking, and which is a natural habitat for the local wildlife.
We are Bill and Lorraine. We live in NH and have been coming to Marco Island for the past 25 years. We have owned this condo for 20 years and we have another condo at South Seas which we have owned for 25 years. We love Marco and wish we could get there more often, especially in the winter.
Our grandkids, who are now teens, do not like us being gone for long. It is nice to have such a close relationship with them but it does hinder our trips to Marco.
We enjoy being able to rent to others so they can experience the Marco Island Paradise. We are very conscientious about renting and feel a great responsibility to have everything in good order for our guests. I have made many friends through renting.
Lorraine Innes purchased this condo in 1997
When looking for our first condo we visited many condos on the beach. We couldn't find anything that compared with South Seas. From the amenities to the shade offered around the pool to the beautiful 55 acres, we were hooked. We purchased in Tower III and as the years passed our infatuation with Marco only grew. When in the market for a second condo we again looked at many condos and again came back to South Seas as it was just the most unique place on the beach. So be bought a second condo in Tower IV and have never regretted either purchase.
From the amenities in South Seas to the many activities both on the water and on land in and around Marco there is always something to do.
We love the friendship at South Seas. It is nice to sit under the chickee huts and meet people from all over the world. It makes for a very pleasant afternoon chatting with people who we did not know before.
It is just a paradise and we love it.
We fell in love with the long balcony that offers a gorgeous view of the beach and the Gulf. It is so relaxing to sit and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner while enjoying the view and breeze. Although we don't use the tennis courts, as years went by the South Seas Club has added Pickle Ball courts which will soon number 8. Also there is Shuffle Board and Bocce Ball. There is a great exercise room and if I wasn't so lazy I would use it. Also the Social Room does offer organized socials and card games during the on season.
There is just so much to love about this complex.
Hi Lorraine,
Just wanted to let you know that we had a great time in Marco, and your condo is just perfect, everything one could wish for.
We had 2" of rain up here and 50-60 Deg temps. While we were down there it was in the mid nineties with no rain.
We went for walks early, and stayed by the pool in the shade when it got too hot, and Anne even managed to pick some sand dollars during our walks.
Also went down Hwy. 41 and took an Everglade air boat ride that was cool, gator's and all.
Anyway thanks again too bad we didn't meet up with you guys, maybe next time, did you leave Marco to go home that week, or did you have to stay around to finish up your remodeling ?
Regards Barry& Anne.
Clean, comfortable, cheery, roomy. Beautiful views. Huge balcony with sun most of day. Best living room seating of any condo we have rented.
Tastefully decorated. Close to elevators & laundry facilities. Well secured & beautiful surroundings. Pleasant guests & workers. Great parking at very low cost.
Everything was great.
Beautiful pool. Clean and enough chairs and tables for everyone. Very strict on young children jumping, yelling or bringing small toys into the pool, and of course throwing any sort of balls.
The condo was convenient, comfortable, very clean.
The availability of items such as the mini vacuum was good. It worked great picking up and sand from the ceramic or debris on the carpets so you didn't track it everywhere especially in bed.
Regardng the bed, I rarely am able to sleep in bed on vacation because the beds are beat. I'm glad to say that I did have a good night's rest "in bed" during my stay.
Also, we were very appreciative of the cart and beach chairs. I did not realize the distance to the beach. But from my perspective, it was a little exercise….you just had to be prepared with everything before going to the beach, because we weren't coming back because you forgot something.
Having the Cable TV & Wifi was great to have to wind down the day after a long day at the pool or beach.
This is our seventh year staying in this beautiful unit. Steps away from the pool & beach with gorgeous views. The unit is always immaculate and stocked with all of the comforts of home. Beach toys and games for the kids, family friendly movies, beach towels and a fully equipped kitchen. We love staying here and plan to continue our annual visits!
We enjoyed our stay at this condo on Marco Island. We couldn't ask for a nicer, cleaner or better prepared unit. Everything needed for a stay at the beach was provided. Fantastic views from each room and the balcony.The owner also left a wealth of information on restaurants and places to go on Marco. Parking was indoors and security visible at the complex. We only wish that we could have stayed longer. We'd love to arrange another stay.
My wife and I recently stayed at unit 707, Tower 4, at the South Seas Club. As always, the unit was immaculately clean and furnished with everything we needed to make our stay special. This was the first time we stayed for two full weeks and it wasn't near long enough. We have stayed at other units at the South Seas and for us, this is by far the best we have ever rented. We couldn't wait for next Spring, so we've actually booked it again for August of this year to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary!
If you are looking to rent on Marco Island, this is the condo for you. My family just returned from a couple of weeks in Lorraine's unit in South Seas on Tigertail Beach. It was our best vacation in Marco so far.
We love Tigertail - it's right out the door with remarkable shelling and the opportunity to be off the beaten path in no time if you want some quiet and solitude in nature. There are volumes of wildlife around, including tons of birds, because of the natural areas to the North of the building.
This unit faces the beach with beautiful sunsets, and a view of the pool (which we liked as our family often divided up - but we could find each other easily). The deck is in the sun and has nice furniture in great condition - and plenty for about 6-8 people.
South Seas keeps the pool about 83-86, which makes it an option even on a cloudy or breezy day. We used it every day of our vacation!
Lorraine's unit is well maintained, and you can tell they care about their home away from home. We felt very comfortable. The furnishings and fixtures felt more like a vacation home and less like a beach cottage (i.e. more like something you want to sit on than something that could be covered in sand). At the same time, we have a 3 and 5 year old and nothing was too fragile or frightening for us (which is sometimes a concern, as you might imagine!)
The unit is the most well-stocked we've ever experienced as well. Everything from beach equipment (chairs, cart, umbrellas, sand shoes, toys, fishing and shelling gear) to household basics (loads of dishes, great pots and pans, bedding (including the possibility of sleeping another 2 people), even kid-sized cups and utensils) to rainy-day supplies (puzzles for all ages, books, movies, and games).
Lorraine (the owner) is outstanding to work with. She moved around some personal plans to make this work for us; was in contact with us before, during and after our stay; and when a couple of things went awry in the unit (little details like a cracked handle on the sliding door), she gave us easy resources to remedy them.
I would rent any unit from Lorraine again in a heartbeat. And if you have a chance to stay here, you won't be sorry!
Marco Island is located in the area of the southwest Gulf known as the Paradise Coast. It is just north of the Everglades and just south of Naples. Because of Marco's location, it offers not only many opportunities for activities locally, but access to all the amenities that Naples and the Everglades have to offer. The Marco area is loaded with opportunities for water sports, night life, zoos, museums, and water parks. It's also a rich source of live entertainment including comedy clubs, amateur and professional theater, and an assortment of night clubs and music. The natural habitat right outside your window is a wonder to behold. Take guided nature walks on the beach and learn about the shells, birds, turtles and other creatures that live there. You may prefer to just kick back and relax. What better place to do it from than one of our condos in Marco Island.
Other Activities: Added activities include canoeing, kayaking, bird watching, shopping, live theater and movie theater and new to South Seas in 2012 are two Bocce Ball Courts and one Shuffleboard court. There are now 9 Har-Tru Tennis courts.

in ethics, a case-based method of reasoning. It is particularly employed in field-specific branches of professional ethics such as business ethics and bioethics. Casuistry typically uses general principles in reasoning analogically from clear-cut cases, called paradigms, to vexing cases. Similar cases are treated similarly. In this way, casuistry resembles legal reasoning. Casuistry may also use authoritative writings relevant to a particular case. Practitioners in various fields value casuistry as an orderly yet flexible way to think about real-life ethical problems. Casuistry can be particularly useful when values or rules conflict. For example, what should be done when a business executive's duty to meet a client's expectations collides with a professional duty to protect the public? Casuistry also helps clarify cases in which novel or complex circumstances make the application of rules unclear. Should e-mail receive the same privacy protection as regular mail?

The most generous treat for our family would be dinner at Kiku Steakhouse of Japan. Our kids love the food and atmosphere! All meals are prepared before your eyes on the hibachi grill which makes a fun evening all around. The prices are a little bit higher than we normally spend on dining out, so we usually go but once a year.
Fried rice comes with every meal, and tastes phenomenal. Our kids have requested on many occasions that we try to make our own version for dinner. Over the past few months, my husband has perfected his recipe. I bought him a wok for his birthday and a rice cooker for Valentine's Day. We now have Kiku's rice in our own home almost every week. It makes a great quick lunch on Saturdays, or a fast dinner on weeknights when we haven't much time to spare. There are never leftovers, and every child consumes their entire plateful!
I don't have an exact recipe to share with you, as my husband doesn't measure out his ingredients. Each time it comes out a little different in flavor, but the end result is always delicious!
I start by cooking the rice. We have a rice cooker that does all the work for us. All we do is add rice and water. When we make this as a meal, we normally will do about 3 cups of uncooked rice. I'm not sure how many cups of cooked rice it will end up. It's plenty for our family of five. The rice takes the longest to cook and should be finished before you start frying.
Once the rice is cooked, in your wok, you add a few tablespoons of oil, and a chopped onion. We fry the onion on high until soft or lightly browned.
Add three eggs, and fry. Our ratio is 1 egg to 1 cup of uncooked rice.
Add rice. When we add the spices and soy sauce, we turn it down to a low heat in order to keep it from burning.
We're going to add a few spices now. I don't have exact measurements here. We sprinkle until there is a generous layer covering the top of the rice. We layer each spice, starting with salt. Then we add pepper, ginger, and a final layer of sesame seeds. Mix well.
Our last step is adding the soy sauce, the most crucial ingredient. We add a generous helping of soy sauce. I wish I could give you an exact amount, but it changes every time. Notice we do not fully saturate all the rice. It would be quite salty if we did. Play with it a little and see how much you like.
Once the soy sauce is added, we fry the rice for a little longer, once again on high. We do this for a few minutes, no longer than five minutes. My kids don't like it very crispy, but that's their personal preference.
We love to eat this as a meal, but it also is great as a side dish! To make it more substantial consider frying some shrimp, chicken, or vegetables. Enjoy!

SUBMITTED: Sunday, November 29, 2009POSTED: Sunday, November 29, 2009
I'm at a loss as to what you want me to rebut in this report? I wouldn't dare deny the fact there are some incredibly rude people who are employed at Premier Savings. I am not one of them, nor would I tolerate some people (who shall remain nameless) behaving the way that they do were I in charge. Such behavior while not condoned is tolerated, and I also can understand why.
Finding people who are both intelligent enough, and articulate enough to convey a mini economics lecture to Joe Schmo, at home, over the phone, uninvitedly, in 10 minutes, and have that person in the end understand the subject matter well enough to see the value of paying the $439 processing fee. People who can do that successfully, and consistently do not grow on trees, nor are they particularly inclined to work in telemarketing. I myself am a college graduate and worked in law offices before this. If it weren't for the slow economy and to a greater degree my personal distaste for family and personal injury law I wouldn't be here talking to you.
Back to subject at hand, rude people working in a outbound call center is hardly news, nor a "Rip Off." In fact to the original poster Jason, if you would like to know the substance of what Premier offers and what we can do for you please feel free to call the toll free number 1-800-208-1914, tell them that you want to speak with David H. who works evenings. I should get the message that evening and return your call when it is convenient for you. I'll need between 10 to 15 minutes of your time so that I can explain the whole works properly, should you decide not to have us help you save money or your credit card debt I will not become rude or belligerent, nor am I going to try and force you into doing something you don't wish to do. They are your credit cards and it is your money after all. I will ask you why you don't want to sign up with us? That's not being rude or pushy that's an honest question. If someone isn't looking to save 4k, I've already told them that it's going to take 6+ months before their interest savings exceed the processing fee. Now if someone is looking at a potential savings of 12k and they don't want to do it I wanna know why? I'm not upset with them but unless they just can't make the processing fee work without taking food off the table, then I'm not doing my job correctly.
As for this site, I haven't read the whole thing but from what I have seen the "reports" fall along the following lines:
60% Ex-employees with an ax to grind.
15% People complaining about being treated rudely by an employee.
10% Ex-employees in guise making outright fabrications.
10% People who have legitimate complaints.
5% Uninformed people saying things like "Thank god I found you guys, I almost fell for this!"
In fact Jason, there is no "scam" the business has been there for 13 years doing the same exact thing, and will be there for 13 more. What did happened was you spoke to an a-hole, who you had every right hang up on. Unfortunately you'll probably wind up paying thousands more on your credit cards than need be because of this person's lack of manners.

It's all fine and good to offer calm, measured platitudes and talk about how this complainant was treated. It's a good start, but it doesn't really address the crux of the matter.
When someone needs to borrow money or lower interest rates as this person wanted to, they get understandably leery at being asked to lay out large chunks of money. People borrow money because they need money, not because they want to spend more right out of the gate.
There are many hucksters out and about who start out with the same pitch as this person described: promising a loan or a lower interest rate, and all it will take is a payment of $X. Then something "happens" that requires just a bit more money, but still, nothing is delivered. Another "snag" in the process is discovered, and so it goes until the person refuses to cough up any more dough, then they're left without the money they shelled out for all these "adjustments" and they're also without their loan. There are reports of this type all over the ROR.
You've come to this forum, hat in hand, smiles and apologies for the conduct of an employee of the company, but you didn't even begin to dip your toe into the fire regarding the heart of the matter as described above, so how about that?
AUTHOR: David H. - (USA)

Hello, my name is David I am a current employee of Premier Savings.
Let me just say first off that I am here of my own accord and I do not speak on behalf of Premier Savings, Premier Nationwide corp., or any subsidiary.
For the record Premier Savings is not a "scam" and so long as you are truthful in your answers to the account rep there should be no problem in delivering exactly what they promise. Premier has been around for 14yrs, bringing people with established credit lower rates on there credit card balances. I haven't read all of the complaints on here and I intend to and I intend to respond to nearly if not all of them. I truly hope that you or anyone else will take the time to read my responses and then judge for yourself whether you wish to do business with Premier. From the small amount that I have read thus far it appears that a few ex-employees with an axe to grind are the bulk of the complaints. Again I have only read a small portion of what is on here but that is my first impression.
The one true complaint I see that you have is that the rep you spoke to was rude. I wouldn't dare contradict that statement, there are many rude people who work in the call center. I myself would never behave in such a manner but the management tolerates rudeness so it happens. If you were offended all I can do is apologize from myself.

SNR Denton has strengthened its Hong Kong office with the addition of SJ Berwin's Asia managing partner and the creation of a new Asia Pacific director of operations role.
Daniel Liew will be a member of SNR Denton's energy, transport and infrastructure team in Asia. Admitted to practise law in England, Hong Kong and Australia, his practice focuses on on M&A, corporate, infrastructure fund, strategic alliances, banking and project finance.
Liew helped Dewey & LeBoeuf with its Hong Kong launch in 2007 before moving to SJ Berwin's Hong Kong office to take up the Asia managing partner role from launch in 2009.
At the beginning of this year, SNR Denton opened an office in Hong Kong (4 January 2011) and entered into an association with local firm Brandt Chan & Partners, previously the Hong Kong office of Squire Sanders Hammonds legacy firm Hammonds.
Brandt Chan & Partners, in which Liew is a partner, will be fully integrated into SNR Denton upon regulatory approval. The addition of Liew has pushed the total number of partners in the joint association to eight. There are 17 other fee-earners in Hong Kong.
As part of the firm's wider strategic ambitions to grow its presence in Asia Pacific, it has also created an Asia Pacific director of operations role in Hong Kong. The firm, with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and Singapore, is yet to announce the new appointment.

3 May 2017 - Janet Bird
Retail sales exceeded all expectations in April, growing at their fastest pace since 2015.
Data compiled for the CBI Distributive Trades Survey revealed 59 percent of retailers reported increased sales in April compared to the same month the previous year. A total of 21 percent said sales were down, meaning a balance of 38 percent growth - the highest figure since September two years ago, when growth was at 49 percent.
The CBI surveyed 112 companies, of which 57 were retailers. Their findings also revealed orders placed with suppliers in April rose at its fastest rate for 18 months.
The positive picture this portrays of buoyant consumer confidence contrasts starkly with data released by the Office of National Statistics (ONS) last week.
The ONS report indicated the retail sector had experienced a 1.4 percent drop in sales in the three months to March 2017 - its most significant fall in sales for seven years - and blamed increased living costs for eating into household spending.
The CBI, however, said April's sales figures had proved stronger than expected, particularly considering their survey did not cover the peak shopping time of the Easter holidays.
That said, the CBI survey also showed retailers are expecting sales growth to slow next month, as inflation forces a reduction in household spending.

Helen Pidd's report of George Galloway's victory in Bradford West recounts what happened just after he had
arrived back from the count:
'Galloway climbed on top of a grey car and was handed a megaphone to preach to the assembled faithful.
All praise to Allah!" he yelled, to jubilant cries of "Allah Allah!" And on it went. "Long live Iraq! Long live Palestine!" '
First of all this suggests that enthusiasm for Galloway wasn't, as some are suggesting, driven by his opposition to austerity but by his sectional appeal. Second, it is a
depressing reminder of what is happening to British politics.
There'll be a lot of ink spilled in the next few days on the limitations of Britain's political parties. Much of this will be accurate: it is hardly inspiring that the argument of the
three main parties so often boils down to we are the least worst option. But Galloway represents an even uglier form of politics, one based around crude communal appeals.

Naylor out for a month
Ipswich defender Richard Naylor has been ruled out for a month with a slipped disc in his neck.
By Chris Burton
Last Updated: 09/11/07 5:12pm
Ipswich defender Richard Naylor has been ruled out for a month with a slipped disc in his neck.
Naylor had been making good progress since undergoing an operation to cure a cartilage problem in his toe, but is now facing more time on the sidelines.
The defender has not featured for the first team since picking up a metatarsal injury in February and will be disappointed at not being able to challenge for a first-team spot.
Once fit, Naylor may find it difficult to walk straight back into the side as Ipswich have made a promising start to the season and currently sit just one point outside the play-off places in ninth place.
Manager Jim Magilton tells the club's official website about how the injury was sustained: "He had a sore neck and Richard being Richard shrugs it off and played for the reserves against Norwich a couple of weeks ago.
"Then he got a nudge in training and then another one and the discomfort got worse.
"He had a bulge in his neck so we sent him for a scan and they found he had slipped a disc in his neck and he needs to rest for a month.
"He is going up the wall as you would expect. It's bad news for him because he has recovered from injury and was pushing hard for a place in the team."

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The first thought I had was "I HAVE TO USE RED REFLECTIVE TAPE!!!" Anyone who has seen Gundam Unicorn knows that his pilotsuit doesn't light up, but the Unicorn underframe does. I just really wanted to incorporate that!! This is my first copmleted pilotsuit which required a lot of work! Friends helped me make a duct tape dress form and I just went to town drafting patterns/mock ups on it, it was a real learning experience, I had about 5 mockups total. The actual deconstrution of the suit and mock ups were the only time consuming part, sewing the reflective tape and pleather was actually pretty easy once I had the patterns down! I also had to quilt some spandex for the inside turtleneck, which is what makes this cosplay so warm to wear. But it was all worth it. I do want to remake the white parts because of some fit issues, but so happy I got this done for AX 2013! Special thanks to Alex Gil who rendered the Vist Foundation logo for me so I can embroider it at the last minute..!
- Personal Thoughts:
- I wasn't planning to make this until way later, but then Furuhashi (Director of Gundam Unicorn anime, among other things) was announced for Anime Expo 2013 and I just kicked into overdrive! I was glad to wear this with some amazing ZEON PRINCESSES OF SPACE and just had a blast for the short time I could wear it. Also wore it for SimulTV promotion work and was thrilled that some people recognized me!!

Fighting poverty is a popular cause these days. But if do-gooders are serious about reducing global poverty, fighting corruption is one of the best places to start, says the Wall Street Journal.
- Corruption keeps poor countries poor by squirreling away resources in the hands of elites, who spend the gains on, at best, inefficient public works and at worst, private ends.
- Corruption also drives away foreign investment and discourages local entrepreneurs from starting new businesses.
According to Transparency International's annual Corruption Perceptions Index (which scores countries on a scale from zero to ten, with zero indicating high levels of perceived corruption and ten indicating low levels of perceived corruption):
- The world's poorest countries -- Burma or Bangladesh, etc. -- languish at the bottom of the list, while the world's richest countries get top marks.
- Some 40 percent of the countries that have "rampant" corruption are also desperately poor -- a trend that's endured since the poll's inception in 1995.
That doesn't mean that corrupt countries don't attract investment, says the Journal. China, which tied with India at a middling rank, pulled down $63 billion of foreign direct investment, despite widespread corruption in the Communist Party ranks. But imagine how much money the mainland would receive if it made a more serious effort to bolster its legal system and enforce clean business practices -- like Hong Kong does, which ranks number 14.

TV Psychic Derek Acorah, 62 years old, Hitler is already dead.
"I know Neo-Nazis the world over are convinced Hitler is alive and I'm really sorry – but your Führer has been over in the spirit world for some time," he said.
According to Acorah, this information was received by him from Sam, a spirit messenger.
"I sat in my meditation room and I asked the spirit world and Sam confirmed he was dead. He said he was and mentioned something about cyanide and a bunker. How could I know such details as those if I am not a genuine psychic in touch with the other side?" he said.
The psychic also did not have to go and personally see the bunker of Hitler to confirm his information. There are people who surely won't believe his story, but it is all in them to believe or not. After all, there will always be skeptics about horoscope, astrology, and even dream interpretation.

Revenge S03E06: "Dissolution"
While there was plenty to take issue with in "Dissolution" (the introduction of Sarah, for instance), there was also a lot that I found intriguing this week, particularly the storyline involving Nolan and Jack and their shared frustration regarding one Emily Thorne. This episode moved the storyline forward a bit, even though it didn't really feel like it, and I've been waiting for this to happen for quite awhile now, if I'm being honest.
It's not a secret that I'm not exactly a fan of Emily these days. But to my credit, I haven't always disliked her. In fact, I was very much a supporter of Emily when Revenge first began. It's just that lately, I've been finding it harder and harder to sympathize with her cause. She's so single-minded that I often feel that she's lost sight of the big picture, and of the people who matter. Oftentimes, when TV characters are written this way, it's done on purpose. It's done because you're not supposed to like the main character. But that's not really the case with Revenge. You're supposed to root for Emily and her plan to take down the Graysons—but I can't. As I mentioned last week, it's hard to empathize with a character who doesn't seem to feel emotion, but it's also hard to feel any warmth toward a character who's treated her closest friend like an employee for so long.
Truthfully, it was way past time for Nolan to snap. He's had to put up with a lot of bullshit from Emily over the years, arguably more than anyone else given that he's been the vice president, secretary, and treasurer of Team Revenge for quite some time. He's dutifully played along with all of her schemes, he's done everything she's ever asked of him, and for what? He's never gotten anything from this relationship, not really. If I'm being honest, as much as I love Nolan and have supported the friendship he shares with Emily, I've never really understood his loyalty to her. I've never really questioned it until now because it served the narrative, and because their friendship gives me the warm and fuzzies when everything is going well, but why does Nolan blindly follow Emily?
The first—and obvious—answer is that Emily was his only real friend for quite awhile. Nolan, at the end of the day, is a very lonely person. Yes, he's eccentric and wonderful and generally gives off the appearance of not giving a damn, but underneath it all, he's a very lonely man. That's why he's always so quick to fall for all the wrong people, and why he's always been so quick to do everything Emily asked of him. For a long time, she was the only person in his life that he could count as a friend. But now he also has Jack. They haven't always had the strongest of friendships, but I've enjoyed watching them become the friends they are today. I guess I always knew in the back of my mind that Jack didn't know Nolan was involved in Emily's revenge plot, or that Nolan knew she was actually Amanda, but once she came clean to him, I guess I kind of assumed he'd either figured it out or Emily had told him. It makes sense on paper why she didn't; the less he knew the better, but Nolan's confession in "Dissolution" just felt a bit odd, and I'm chalking it up to the fact that I kind of just assumed Jack already knew.
Nolan also feels that he owes this to her father. Without David Clarke, who's to say NolCorp would even exist? I'm sure it would have come to fruition eventually—Nolan is a brilliant man after all—but David Clarke believed in him when no one else did, so yes, Nolan feels a sense of loyalty to the man and he promised to protect his daughter. But Emily is a crappy friend, only thinking about what people can do for her. Everyone is a pawn in her game, but at the same time, everyone has their breaking point. Not everyone can turn off their emotions the way Emily has, and Emily telling Nolan that he has to end his fledgling romance with Patrick was his breaking point. I don't know that I necessarily feel better that Emily has decided to let Nolan and Jack in on her full revengenda in the wake of Nolan's "betrayal," or that I believe that because she's decided to be open about her plans for her wedding that it makes everything else she's done okay, but the time for treating both of these men as players in this game has long since passed. That it appears that she might consider working with them, instead of ordering them around, is a step in the right direction.
But the Emily and Nolan standoff wasn't the only thing that happened this week. Daniel was also reintroduced to Sarah, the cocktail waitress who was severely injured when he crashed the car they were traveling in after drinking a few too many years a few years back. She's working in a bakery (THE HORROR!) because the Graysons screwed her in the settlement. For the record: I hate this storyline. There were already too many balls in the air with Jack and Aiden, that introducing another person to this story makes it feel too busy, and too contrived. Even knowing that it is contrived and being set up by a Charlotte who continues to act more and more like her mother every day, this plot is flat out stupid. It reeks of poor plotting and feels like a case of the writers grasping at straws. No one cares about Sarah. We have no reason to care about her. The idea that Charlotte and Victoria will use her as a pawn is groan-inducing because there's been no emotional build up to this storyline. Hate. Hate. Hate.
This episode worked well if all it intended was to make me hate Emily a bit more, or if its intent was to have Emily bring Nolan and Jack fully on board as actual members of the revenge team, but other than that, I think the episode dropped the ball in many ways. There was a lot of road the writers could have traveled with Nolan and Jack opposed to Emily. I wish they'd have struck out on their own and started living lives that didn't somehow always involve or revolve around her. Could you imagine what that would have really done to Emily, to her plan, to her psyche? To have the two people she claims are the most important people in her life suddenly turn against her and want nothing from her? That was a story that could have really made Revenge stick out. It could have made Emily a human being again. But instead, everything was once again wrapped up by episode's end.
Revenge is a serialized story, but it feels less so when there aren't any real stakes. Now it just looks like Nolan was a petulant child who acted out, but Mommy Emily forgave him and now everything is all right. Nolan has every right to be pissed, and so does Jack. She's used them and abused them and she's manipulated them for so long, it makes sense they'd be frustrated and angry with her. So why do the writers keep attempting to make it look like Emily isn't at fault?
– So Emily's plan for her wedding is for Victoria to shoot her so she can fake her own death and then she can disappear with Aiden forever. Barf. I have a feeling Nolan and Jack aren't going to be too cool with that plan. And did she also just reveal everything weeks before she should have? I have a feeling that's not how it plays out. So who do you think the shooter turns out to be?
– Conrad was going to sell the Manor this week. Obviously Emily couldn't have that happen, because her plan apparently somehow depends on them living next door. But it also couldn't happen because think of all the sets Revenge would have to tear down and rebuild!
– Call me crazy, but don't you think the realtor would have checked the records for all the houses in the area? She flipped out after checking the fake files that Emily planted after Emily played her, but Emily didn't switch out the records for all of the properties in the area, just Grayson Manor. Whatever, I guess I'm just going to have to do everyone's job for them.
– Patrick is in the wind after Jack came clean to Conrad about who really messed with his brakes, but he did it for Nolan. Bye, Justin Hartley, please come back soon for more awkward hugs with Madeleine Stowe. (But seriously: WHAT IS HIS DEAL?)
– Aiden and Emily decided to return the Grayson fortune in order to keep Victoria from peacing out of the Hamptons and divorcing Conrad again. As long as it puts an end to "We're poor! We can only afford elaborate fresh flower arrangements and lavish table settings at breakfast now!" then fine. Give them all the money.
– Nolan's best look this week was when he was just chilling at home in an understated purple and cream combo.
I agree with most part of this review, the reviewer provides some good comments on the show, and I can tell the viewer could understand every leading or supporting characters in the show except Emily, because she keep saying that Emily does not have emotion.
-------"whereas Emily has no problem destroying the lives of others, feeling no remorse or conscience regarding the lives she ruins"
-------"it's hard to empathize with a character who doesn't seem to feel emotion"
These are simply not true.
Sometime, I thought the reviewer might see a different version of the show in which Emily's part was cut off, or a mini-version without Emily.
Clearly, the reviewer cannot understand Emily, or she was blinded by something too emotional, reviewer's troubling understanding on the leading character does not mean that Emily did not show emotion, actually Emily has shown too much emotion in the season 3 far more than previous seasons, and her emotion almost ruined the whole revenge plan in "stop-making-Aiden-happen" episode.
Emily in the show is a complicated and restraining character, she has been described as a flawed and multifaceted heroine figure, Emily seems to be cold, cruel, and emotionless, yet she is struggling and conflicted inside, and try hardly to suppress her feelings for her goal. Many times the writer embed her feelings into subtle expression and sub-conscience behaviors, in the season 3 Emily was cleared softened and has gradually been letting people into her heart.

Litigation is every business owner's worst nightmare. It costs money and takes up your precious time. In the end, it can even harm the reputation of your business. Unfortunately, litigation can't always be avoided. But there are a few best practices that business owners should follow to reduce the risk of being sued by employees, clients or customers.
First off, you need to plan for a potential lawsuit. Sometimes, you can't avoid litigation, so invest in legal advice if you have concerns about an issue. You should also build a litigation budget into your business plan. It is always better to be proactive rather than reactive. Paying an attorney to help you prevent a possible dispute will be less costly than waiting until the dispute turns into a lawsuit. It is also helpful to have a litigation budget in place to make sure you are prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Creating written agreements is another key to reducing the risk of litigation. The main contracts you should have are your business partnership agreement, a master service agreement with clients, a contract with independent contractors, and an employment agreement. But a contract isn't enough. The agreement itself needs to be reflected in the contract. Too often, small business owners sign a "contract" that doesn't actually reflect their "agreement." It needs to clearly state the terms, conditions and responsibilities of each party. The contract can even serve as a foundation for your business attorney to file a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
Think you're safe? Not yet. Make sure you have insurance. It may be a pain to pay it every month, but when litigation happens, it's nice to have someone else foot the bill.
Finally, here is a valuable piece of advice for dealing with an upset employees, clients or customer: People are less likely to file a lawsuit if they are being treated with kindness. Some conflicts can be solved without going to court.

Collins Drive
2013 – Present
Members: Don de Leaumont, Mike Satterlee, Allison Shockley
After four years of kicking it solo around Atlanta and countless failed attempts to put together/join a band, my life took a turn for the best once I met Allison and Mike. After a few failed attempts at trying to find that missing fourth person, we discovered that it was actually "three" that was indeed the magic number. Collins Drive continues to write, work, play, and laugh as much as we can and this is a band that I can honestly say has no expiration date in my opinion. This is the band that I always wanted but never knew was possible to have.

In the wake of a sting video exposing a national Planned Parenthood leader discussing how the abortion mill harvests and sells the limbs and organs of aborted babies, the activist media began circling the wagons to protect their progressive pals. Let's look at a few examples, shall we?
Here is how Eugene Scott at "trusted news leader" CNN described what he called the "purported" video, which TruthRevolt covered here:
The video seemingly shows a member of the conservative Manhattan Institute's Center for Medical Progress claiming to be a start-up biotech firm attempting to buy human fetal tissue for medical research… Planned Parenthood dismissed the video, calling it highly edited. [Emphasis added]
First, the video isn't "purported"; it's an actual video. Second, it doesn't "seemingly" show anything. It clearly shows Planned Parenthood Federation of America's Senior Director of Medical Services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola casually discussing the targeted mutilation of fetuses in such a manner that limbs and organs are kept intact for later sale. Third, the phrase "highly edited," of course, implies that the video is a complete distortion of what was actually said. The original video is over 160 minutes long and is available for anyone to watch in its entirety here. It's clear that nothing in the shorter version was taken out of context in order to mislead viewers.
Laura Bassett at Huffington Post also stressed the "selectively edited" aspect, a tactic by which the leftist media attempt to divert attention from the actual content of the damning video.
Polly Mosendz at Newsweek, which long ago abandoned any shred of journalistic objectivity, leapt to defend Planned Parenthood, spending the first half of her article attempting to discredit the activist group behind the video, the Center for Medical Progress. She then stresses in her headline and article that "the video claims" to show Nucatola discussing Planned Parenthood's disgusting activity.
On the contrary, Nucatola convicts herself on camera. The video does not "claim" anything; it simply exposes her and Planned Parenthood, and the leftist media's blatant bias.

This capital is not quite as big
Annapolis Travel Blog› entry 24 of 26 › view all entries
I get out there after about ½ an hour's drive to get there. I got there and found a place to park at the visitor centre where they very conveniently had a nice little map of the sights of the city. It looks fairly small hence it should be walk able.
I go down a small street towards the church around which everything in the city seems to evolve around. It is a nice little church and there is the traditional courthouse right next to it. Then I head down towards the harbour but in general this city is not really all I expected from it is a bit boring compared to Washington and some of the major southern cities like Wilmington and Charleston. But just as I am thinking about heading out of town I go down to the government area where I get to see the governor's mansion and the capitol building plus a number of other administrative buildings which is the most interesting part of the town.
Well all in all this tour of the town did not take very long and I decided to head back to DC before I had to go to the airport.

Pompano Beach, FL (PressExposure) June 29, 2009 -- Orthopedic surgery today is becoming more minimally invasive than ever. Knee, hip, and other joint pain often led to traditional joint replacement surgery, which was then made minimally invasive as technology progressed. Now, however, an even less invasive procedure, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, may make surgery unnecessary in some cases.
Dr. Leonard Remia of Pompano Beach in Broward County, Florida, is an orthopedic surgeon who is using PRP injections as an alternate treatment for joint pain. Dr. Remia [http://orthojointreplacement.com/Dr-Remia.html] specializes in minimally invasive surgery such as knee replacement and hip replacement, but is utilizing the new platelet injection treatments when possible.
PRP injections utilize patientsâ own blood products to accelerate the healing process in injured tissues and joints. Following an injury, the body normally recruits platelets and white blood cells from the blood to initiate the âhealing responseâ. This âhealing responseâ normally occurs when platelets release stored growth factors in response to signals from the injured tissue. These growth factors help to regenerate damaged tissue and also help to recruit white blood cells (chemotaxis) and local progenitor cells, which facilitate the healing process. By concentrating platelets and white blood cells from the blood and injecting directly into the damaged joint or tissue, the growth factors are released in a more powerful form. This enhanced microenvironment may help to accelerate a more complete healing of damaged tissues.
The following conditions may be treated with PRP Therapy:
* Knee Disorders: Arthritis Tendonitis Meniscal injury Ligament Sprains or Tears Muscle Injury Bursitis
* Shoulder Disorders: Bursitis or Impingement Rotator Cuff Tears Acromioclavicular Joint Injuries Tendonitis
* Hip Disorders: Bursitis Tendonitis Arthritis of the Hip Joint Labral Tears Pubic Symphysis Pain Hamstring and Groin Muscle Sprains Sacroiliac Joint Pain/Arthritis
* Elbow Disorders: Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Golfers Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Ulnar Collateral Ligament Sprains or Tears
* Back Disorders: Disc Herniation Spinal Stenosis Facet Joint Arthritis Nerve Irritation
* Ankle and Foot Disorders: Arthritis Ankle Ligament Sprains or Tears Plantar Fasciitis Tendonitis âAchilles, Peroneal
âFollowing a comprehensive evaluation, an individualized treatment plan is developed. Blood is drawn from the patient and the platelets and white blood cells are separated from the rest of the blood products,â says Dr. Remia. âAfter anesthetizing the skin over the injured site, one or more injections are given into the locally damaged tissue or joint.â
At the next follow-up visit (7 to 10 days), a decision is made regarding additional injections. In general, more chronic conditions may require more than one injection series. The recovery process may include a formal course of physical therapy including modalities such as electrical stimulation and ultra sound.
PRP injections are safe as they are derived from your own blood products. There is no risk of rejection or immune reaction.
To find out if you are a candidate for PRP Therapy, contact Dr. Len Remia at the Orthopedic Center for Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement and Sports Medicine [http://orthojointreplacement.com/] in Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida by visiting their website [http://orthojointreplacement.com], or by calling (877) 543-2500.
About OCMIJR: Orthopedic Center for Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement, located in Pompano Beach, Broward County, Florida, offers Minimally Invasive (MIS) total joint replacement [http://orthojointreplacement.com/recovery.html] and minimally invasive procedures in Sports Medicine. Its founder and director, Dr. Leonard Remia, is a Harvard Medical School trained, board-certified orthopedic surgeon, who has been practicing in Broward County since June of 2003. Dr. Remia specializes in shoulder, knee and elbow injuries, including arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and ACL reconstruction; elbow ligament reconstruction in the throwing athlete; knee cartilage repair and transplantation including the âGenzyme Carticelâ procedure; and arthroscopic meniscal repair and transplantation.

Stretford, United Kingdom (PressExposure) June 25, 2009 -- Increased popularity of designer bathrooms has created a paradigm shift in the UK bathroom supply and accessory market. The desire of Britons for a fully furnished bathroom is at now all time high and this has inspired all leading bathroom suppliers including Atlas bathrooms to renovate their showcase with latest and trendier product. According to the market insiders, not only the utilities of bathroom like shower taps and flush are now being renovated, latest creative ideas are now being infused to make bathrooms look trendier. One of the ideas that are riding on the ladder of popularity faster in these days is bathroom lighting. Bathroom suppliers [http://www.atlasbathrooms.co.uk/default.aspx?Category=4] are focussing more on incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lights to provide homeowners better lighting options.
Incandescent lamps or bulbs, available at Atlas bathrooms are commonly used type of lighting. This lighting option is inexpensive too. However their longevity is lower and they last maximum 1000 hours. Hence, if it is not for long run use, Incandescent lamps or bulbs are not advised. Halogen lights are better lighting options and they have potential to provide double lighting. Expensive compared to Incandescent lamps or bulbs, they have longevity of near about 200 hours.
Both compact and tubular fluorescent lamps are available at Atlas Bathrooms. They fit into conventional light sockets and ideal for bathrooms where lighting is required for long periods. These lamps are expensive to buy but cheap to run and last up to 8 000 - 16 000 hours. Experts at Atlas Bathrooms advise homeowners to buy that light which suits to their requirements and budget perfectly.

About We Care Senior Caregiver Services
We Care is a non-medical private duty home care service provider. We Care began in 2009 by Jessica Streete in memory of Martha Neeley, who wanted Jessica to make a difference for all seniors and their families.
Martha experienced while in the care of Jessica respect and dignity in all aspects of her care. Martha expressed to her family that she felt loved, safe, and cared for in a way that no other caregiver had ever made her felt before. Martha and her family wanted others to know that there was someone who really cares for people in a most genuine way, someone who she felt safe and secure with and whose life work is to ensure that seniors and vulnerable individuals are safe, protected and treated with respected and dignity. With Martha and her family blessings, encouragement and support, We Care was founded.
Today we continue on these same principles that this company was founded upon by instilling in all our caregivers our company core philosophies.
At We Care we help more than seniors, we help families. As a senior, you want your independence, and do not want to burden your family to keep it. As an adult child, you want your parents to be safe and comfortable, but cannot always be there when help is needed most. We Care give families peace of mind knowing that a caring professional will be there whenever they need one.
Enjoy life on your terms - Whatever Non-Medical Private Duty and Companionship Services you require, we will provide them in the comfort of your home, assisted living complex, nursing or rehab facility, hospital, or 55+ active adult communities. Personalize your services, from one day a week to 24 hour live-in care.

• Value for Money Economy Series
• Non-Spillable - Sealed
• Long Life
• Genuine Cast Calcium-Calcium MF
Like its name suggests, the SSB Economy Series has been specifically designed with Value for Money in mind. Like its sister range, SSB Automotive, the SSB Economy Series is a Genuine Maintenance-Free in every respect. SSB Economy batteries are filled and heat sealed at the factory so that you simply install this battery and virtually forget about it. No need to add water.
SSB Economy batteries are made of the same high quality materials that the SSB Automotive range are made of and are also manufactured to International Quality Assurance Standard ISO9001. We have simply lowered the capacity a little to provide a cheaper alternative.
The battery has been developed in Australia by Australians to meet the ever increasing needs of the modern vehicle whilst standing up to our harsh environmental conditions and despite its "Budget" style image, this Genuine Cast Calcium-Calcium battery is by no means a battery of sub quality standard.
Thin Post
Despite this being labeled as a "Maintenance Free" battery there is still some minimal maintenance requirements. The battery industry generally uses the term "Maintenance Free" when you are not required or cannot add acid to the battery because it is sealed. Like all Maintenance Free Batteries (no matter what brand), it is essential to periodically service the battery to ensure maximum life. As a general rule of thumb this should be done each time your vehicle is serviced by your mechanic.
Service requirement include:
Lead-acid batteries generate explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flames and lighted cigarettes away from battery. Keep metal objects away from terminals. When charging or using in enclosed spaces, provide ventilation.
The battery contains sulfuric acid. Do not tilt the battery or turn the battery upside down.
Should acid spill from the battery, Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. In event of accident flush with water and call doctor immediately.

I'm leaving you with one last project before I let the paint chip thing go for a while. I have been hanging a paint chip banner in my breakfast nook window and from my mantel for a while and just love how it looks. And it's so easy to match your decor or the holiday by picking different colors. I actually keep different sets in envelopes, each paint chip banner labeled with the holiday or occasion and still on the string, so I can pull it out and hang in just minutes.
I leave Command Adhesive hooks up all the time on windows and mantels, which works great for me because the hooks are all white or clear and my trim is all white. You need wide rectangular swatches for this paint chip banner project to work the best. In addition, you need a hole punch, paper trimmer or scissors, and string or baker's twine. I'll warn you, this was one of my first posts and I'm not going to say I'm not proud of it, but I will say that I've come a long way.

|2014 Ford Mustang coupe
According to the Wall Street Journal, Ford Motor executives have stated that the current Ford Mustang's "retro-styling" (looking like a modern 1967-1970 Mustang) is kaput. Ford has found that the average age of a Mustang buyer is now 51 years old, which is NOT a demographic that Ford wants for its youth-oriented musclecar. Therefore, Ford has decided to update the old-school Mustang with a large amount of new "Kinetic" styling, similiar in theme to the Mondeo, Focus, and Fiesta. The Ford Evos concept vehicle shown above in an official Ford photo is said to be "very close" to the styling of the new Mustang. I agree that the Evos looks a lot more Aston Martin than Focus, but somehow I like the looks of the current Mustang and am very sorry to see Ford walk away from the Mustang's history. Hopefully, this is not another "Ford Probe" fiasco - as this next-generation Mustang will be sold internationally, including right-hand drive countries. No word on powertrains as of yet, although RWD is almost a guarantee. But V-8 powered versions may only be special editions (like Shelby variants) however, thanks to the U.S. Congress for tightening CAFE standards.

Sophie Feral Horse resin black appaloosa by arcadian7Watch
©2013-2017 arcadian7
This is "Sophie" sculpted by Yvonne Davey-Stevens and painted by me, Donna Lorello, Arcadian Creations/Sunshine's Creative Endeavors. She's typical of a feral horse and painted with all the typical appaloosa features and sunburnt mane and tail.
Patience and a steady hand paid off beautifully this time. Your skills increase with each new sculpt.
Those appaloosa markings are stunning!
thanks. I just got commissioned to lay a similar paint job on the new Breyer Traditional Totilas.
That is gorgeous!
So great again!
I LOVE tha paint job!
Beautiful model as well

Wow, very neat! Wonderful paint job.
The spots must have driven you blind and batty, Sunny. You pulled them off beautifully.

Hughton insists he's not bitter over sacking
Chris Hughton has revealed his sacking by Newcastle came as a complete surprise, but insists he feels no bitterness towards the club or owner Mike Ashley.
Hughton was dismissed on December 6, despite having attracted widespread praise from outside the club for guiding the Magpies to a strong start in their first season back in the Premier League since their relegation in 2009. Hughton revealed he was sacked in a meeting after training, with no prior indication that anything was amiss.
"I got a phonecall in the morning from the managing director (Derek Llambias)," Hughton said. "He wanted myself and (goalkeeping coach) Paul Barron to meet him at the stadium after training and of course I was told the news then."
Asked if it was a surprise, Hughton added: "It was, yes. And the fact that Paul Barron was with me as well made it even more of a surprise. If the meeting was just myself I might have thought something was going to happen.
"There's lots of emotion. Obviously it's not a particularly nice thing to happen to anybody, particularly at a time when it is unexpected, but that's part of the game, and a part of the game you have to get on with. The reasons why they chose to terminate my contract are their reasons. I've been asked on numerous occasions my views on why, but the reality is I can't say too much. The answers to those questions can only be answered by the chairman, the managing director and the owner.
"It was a very quick conversation, but the club wanted to go in a different direction and of course they are the owners and managing director of the club, and it's their prerogative, their choice on how they want to run things," he said.
The decision to sack Hughton was widely condemned in football, both in Newcastle and much further afield. But Hughton is remaining philosophical.
"There were lots of opinions, certainly for the few days afterwards, and that goes back to what we spoke about earlier -- most people were in disbelief at what had happened, but these are decisions that are made in football.
"It was over my head, the decisions are made by my bosses and in the end there isn't much you can do about that except look forward."
And Hughton insists he is not bitter and still thinks fondly of Newcastle.
"I don't think you can afford to be that way," he said. "It's a wonderful club, and I look forward to going back there and seeing games in the future.
"I had a fantastic time there over nigh-on three years and I enjoyed living in the area. I don't think you can afford to be bitter. These decisions are made and whether they are right or not, they are made above your head so in the end there isn't too much you can do about it.
"There is no point dwelling on it too long, so I look forward. I've had a career in the game and it's a career I want to continue."

Discussion in 'OT Driven' started by chrislehr, Feb 19, 2006.
33.9k for the charger, 32.9k for the STi
Both GREAT cars.
Turbo >>> N/A
STi is overpriced. and underpowered. 300 hp 4 cylinder
for 10,000 less dollars, I can get something faster. ex. mustang gt 300 hp 8 cylinder.
sti, i agree w/ nightmare
Charger. No muscle, no care.
charger ftw
no way 2.5 litersZ!!!11one11
turbo and AWD ftw?
SOHC Mustangs
4 cylinder cars still exist
troll post, correct?
Worst engine ever.
4 cylinder cars still exist
no, truth post. why?
Charger would be more practical and comfortable, but less fun to drive. You pick what you need.
charger is more fun than a 4 door, 4 cylinder pos
You are one of the worst fucking trolls on OT.
I actually voted charger for two reasons.
06 STi < Charger in LOOKS
And an STi, I know how to mod, and I dont want to mod my next car.
I still may opt to save $ and get a v6 model too..
they are 29.5k or so..
Be quiet you know nothing about cars.
Turbo >>> N/A ANY application.
I had a blast driving the Charger. The power is absolutely seamless.
Walking >>> V6 model

The monk Ryōkanbō Ninshō was born in 1217 (the fifth year of the Kenpō era) at Byōburi, in Shiki no shimo district of the province of Yamato (present-day Miyake-chō, Shiki-gun, Nara Prefecture). He became a Buddhist monk following the wishes of his mother, who had died in his youth. He pursued his early spiritual training chiefly at Kakuan-ji Temple. He later studied the teachings of Shingon Esotericism and joined the Precepts Movementwith the monk Eison from Saidai-ji Temple. He worked unstintingly throughout his life to save the poor and the sick. Ninshō's character, which was marked by a profoundly strong sense of compassion, can be seen in particular in the tale of his carrying a man suffering from Hansen's disease everyday on his back to the town (found in the Buddhist encyclopedia Genkō shakusho etc.).

Current mood: sad
Category: Life
Good evening everyone. This, for me, has been one heck of a very emotional day. I know that I didn't know the man, I know that I never came anywhere near close to even meeting the man, I know that I didn't even get the chance or opportunity to go to one of his concerts either as some very lucky and blessed others did. But for some reason I am just very emotional over the passing of Michael Jackson. He was an amazing artist, a wonderful humanitarian who gave and gave and kept giving and he was so loved by his friends and family and a lot of fans...its sad that we had to have this very emotional memorial of him today. But in doing so, I think that we celebrated him and that is what he wanted...I think that he loved the idea of doing a public memorial where the fans got to go and pay there respects to. When I saw the looks on those children's faces in there...so sad but then I saw them up on stage and saw them singing .. There dad would of been proud of them and for Paris speaking out even if it was just a short minute, she got it out there that was a great father and I think that people needed to hear that. Everyone has there faults and we all live and learn, so it was good of her to speak out even just for a minute, I felt so bad for her, my heart was breaking for all three of the children. And his friends that spoke about there times and him, like Brooke Shields I never realized that them two were that close..that is great that they had each other and were so close..those kinds of friendships don't come by that often...she made me lose it when she first started talking because you hear and see all the emotion in her coming out...Bless there hearts for getting up there and talking about him...Thoughts and prayers go out to them all.
I hope that things work out the way that the children want them and I'm assuming they want to stay with all there family where they are now..I don't think that woman if that's what she is..ugh amongst other things! Has the audacity to fight...blah she doesn't deserve the children, they are to darn good for her! She just looked so mean and hateful when I saw her when she came out of the restaurant, why did she have to be so mean and hateful..good grief! And in Michael's will it says that his mom Katherine or Diana Ross will tend to them and I'm sure that is what the judge will grant because that Debbie lady just isn't the neutering motherly type!!! She even stated on record that she wasn't a mother or something like that they said on the news they quoted her, I don't remember the exact words but she has NO rights to the kids. She needs to let them be. Shes just in it for herself and not in the best interest of the kids that's for sure!
I heard something that I thought was disturbing on the news, on Nancy Grace earlier this evening. She was talking about how the casket was moved from the cemetary to the staple center and then they went to an undisclosed secret location after the memorial service. She said that some of the family, namely his dad I believe wanted to get through the red tape and bury him at/on Neverland Ranch but that the mom and girls said no that isn't going to happen so I guess they have put him somewhere safe for now, which I find sad that the drama is going on there when it shouldn't be like that. It should be a time to grieve him and to remember him not to argue and fuss about where to lay the man in the ground at!! And then someone said that he wanted to be cremated not buried, well if that was the mans wishes then they should do that. I just hope and pray that they don't drag this out and that they lay him to rest soon however and wherever it might be..lay him to rest....let him be in peace now...he deserves that.
I am buying a shirt that has Michael on it and says that he might be gone but will always be remembered or something like that..I looked at a lot of them and finally found one that I liked. I want one not because of this event really but because I have always been a big fan of his and I want a shirt to show my love for him still is there with me. Back when I was a little girl, I had a record player..yea a record player..wow am I really that old?? Anyway and I bought the record We Are The World and I played it over and over and over and absolutely loved it. Its probably at my moms house put up in the attic or was given away..who knows but it was something that I loved..I loved music and always loved Michael and always will...his memory will live on in all of us forever...RIP Michael we love you always.

The Macbook Air comes with iMessage which means you can "text" people who also have iMessage, which is most iPhone owners.

You can use Apple's instant messaging service called iMessage from your MacBook Air. This only allows you to communicate with other Apple devices that have iMessage enabled. Other than that, you can't communicate via text

A big weekend of partying
Today was the birthday party Ashlea and Audrey got invited to at preschool. So exciting - their first party invitation.
The girls had a great time. And guess what??? There was an ACCESSIBLE CUBBY HOUSE. I was so excited. Instead of having a ladder up into the cubby, they had a lovely ramp off the deck. Here is a pic:
Of course I am now wondering if this might be a possibility for my backyard?? Perhaps with our next lot of FAF funding??? But I digress...
The party was great. They had the cubby (with slippery dip), a fabulous swing that I could sit on easily with Ashlea on my lap, AND they hired a jumping castle. Ashlea had a ball requesting that I carry her back and forth between each activity. She loved it all!! Fortunately Audrey is at the age where she is now quite independent at parties, as I end up having to leave her to her own devices while I help Ashlea participate. No sitting with the other mums and chatting for me. I was up and down to the cubby, down the slide, on the swings, in the jumping castle, round and round and over and over again.
But, it is SO worth it to see Ashlea enjoying herself - and enjoying the same things as other 4 year olds. It is also so lovely seeing Ashlea's preschool group starting to relate to her. They are starting to become more familiar and friendly towards her. The birthday girl in particular is very fond of giving her tickles, and always comes up and talks to her. Another lovely thing was that we weren't just invited to the party 'because everyone was invited'. Only a few preschool children were invited. We were chosen. Ashlea got chosen. How delightful - I could cry thinking that my Ashlea was chosen to attend a party - something I worried might never happen.
The birthday girls mum went out of her way to include Ashlea, and even made her a special lolly bag full of hair bands and clips as she knows Ashlea doesn't eat (Emma was disgusted as she had appointed herself recipient of Ashlea's lolly bag). It is so, so lovely when people show their thoughtfulness like that.
All in all a GREAT party!

Sounds like a fantastic party! Also a nice bunch of friends they have at preschool.
How lovely of them to put such thought into Ashlea's lolly bag too.
Know what you mean about a cubby with that funding, I was thinking the same thing, easily accessible cubby!

Hello! This was so inspiring to read, the opposite experience of the birthday party we went to. I felt so happy for you guys as I read this. And I loved that cubby house with a ramp!!! I hope you have a happy weekend.
