Swimming & Diving Splits with East Carolina
By ODU Athletics
Jan. 14, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. - The Old Dominion swimming & diving teams spilt Saturday's meet with East Carolina at the J.C. "Scrap" Chandler Pool.
The Monarch men's swimming & diving squad improved to 5-1 on the year with a 165-127 victory over the Pirates. The Lady Monarch swimming & diving team meanwhile fell to 4-5 in dual meets this season with a 143-155 setback to the Pirates.
Senior Arni Arnason (Mosfellsbaer, Iceland) led the way for the men with three individual victories. He clocked in first in both the 100 breaststroke (54.41) and 200 breaststroke (2:00.46), as well as the 200 individual medley (1:51.43).
Sophomore Sidni Hoxha (Tirane, Albania) was also a multiple event winner for the Monarchs with top times in the sprint freestyle events. He won both the 50 freestyle (20.57) and 100 freestyle (46.47).

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey's prime minister said he hopes this week's spring festival, which is celebrated by Kurds, will herald the start of a peaceful resolution of the country's nearly 30-year-old conflict with Kurdish rebels.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan spoke Tuesday ahead of Thursday's spring Newroz festivities, when jailed Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan said he would make a "historic call" toward peace. Kurdish officials have said Ocalan is expected to reveal his road map for peace, including a possible cease-fire declaration and a timetable for his fighters' retreat from Turkey.
Turkish officials have been holding talks with Ocalan on his prison island off Istanbul with the aim of persuading his autonomy-seeking group to disarm. The conflict with Ocalan's Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984.
"May this Newroz bring hope, may Newroz, so to say, be the insemination of the process for a solution," Erdogan told lawmakers in parliament.
Turkey has admitted to holding failed, secret peace talks with the PKK before. The latest initiative is being carried out more publicly and follows a surge in violence last summer that killed hundreds of people.
The government has said the rebel group would lay down arms and withdraw several thousands of fighters from Turkey's territory as part of the peace efforts, but has not revealed what steps Turkey will take.
Erdogan ruled out any "bargaining, concessions, back-stepping" or steps that would "hurt" the families of the violence's victims.
"Whatever step we take, we take it for (the welfare) of the people and the country," Erdogan said.
The PKK is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and Europe and Ocalan is serving a life sentence for leading the insurgency. He said in a message relayed by Kurdish legislators on Monday that he would outline all the "military and political steps" of the peace process on Thursday.
But Ocalan also suggested that Turkey's parliament needed to take steps to advance the peace process.
Kurds want the government to carry out reforms that would increase Kurdish rights. The Hurriyet newspaper said Ocalan was also seeking guarantees that his rebel fighters would not be attacked as they withdraw from Turkey to bases in northern Iraq.
Turkish forces reportedly attacked PKK guerrillas as they retreated in 1999 while obeying orders from Ocalan who had appealed for peace soon after his capture that year, as well as during another unilateral decision to withdraw in 2004. The PKK has declared unilateral cease-fires on several occasions in the past but they were ignored by the state.
Turkey's Justice Minister Sadullah Ergin said the rebels' withdrawal would likely start this month and continue to the end of the year.

"Bridging" Stent Patients to Cardiac Surgery
"Bridging" Stent Patients to Cardiac Surgery
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 9, 2011) - Late breaking clinical trial results from testing of cangrelor, an investigational intravenous antiplatelet, showed patients can be "bridged" from the time that their physicians stop their oral antiplatelet drugs until they undergo cardiac surgery. Study results demonstrated cangrelor maintained target levels of platelet inhibition known to be associated with a low risk of thrombotic events, such as stent thrombosis, vs. placebo. The BRIDGE Trial results were presented here today at the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) conference.
"Patients with coronary stents require drugs that block platelets that can stick to their stents and cause clots. When these patients require surgery, the oral drugs must be stopped days in advance to wear off and reduce the risk of surgical bleeding; however, this puts them at an increased risk of thrombotic events," said Eric Topol, MD, cardiologist and chief academic officer at Scripps Health and BRIDGE Trial primary investigator. "With nothing available that blocks platelets and then goes away quickly, we are between the rock of thrombosis and the hard place of surgical bleeding."
BRIDGE results showed 99 percent of cangrelor-treated patients maintained target levels of platelet inhibition for all time points measured over the bridging period compared to 19 percent of placebo patients (p < 0.001). The primary safety measure demonstrated no significant excess in surgical bleeding complications (data below).
The results were presented by Dominick J. Angiolillo, MD, PhD, medical director, cardiovascular research program at the University of Florida College of Medicine Jacksonville, "BRIDGE results support the hypothesis that intravenous cangrelor may be a feasible and well tolerated management strategy in patients who require prolonged platelet P2Y12 inhibition after thienopyridine discontinuation prior to cardiac surgery. Results also show control of platelet function as there was a rapid offset of platelet inhibition after stopping the cangrelor infusion prior to surgery."
According to 2009 data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), more than 2.5 million PCIs are performed globally per year. Treatment guidelines in the United States and Europe recommend stent patients receive oral P2Y12 inhibitors for up to 12 months following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is estimated that up to 25 percent of these patients with stents in place will require a surgical procedure during the first five years after PCI.
Dimitrios Goundis, PhD, head of R&D at The Medicines Company added, "With strong patient enrollment in the Phase 3 PHOENIX trial of cangrelor in PCI patients and these results from the BRIDGE trial, there is great momentum with the cangrelor program, which is an important part of our portfolio of acute and intensive care hospital compounds."
Summary methods and results
The first stage of BRIDGE identified the cangrelor dose that maintains a 'thienopyridine-like' level of platelet inhibition. The second stage reported today was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in 210 patients with an acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or treated with a coronary stent (bare metal stent or drug eluting stent) on a thienopyridine awaiting coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). After thienopyridine discontinuation ( < 72 hours), patients were administered cangrelor or placebo for at least 48 hours and up to 7 days, which was discontinued 1-6 hours prior to CABG. The objective was to demonstrate that a cangrelor IV infusion would maintain levels of platelet reactivity < 240 P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) throughout the pre-operative period as measured by a P2Y12 assay. Platelet inhibition results are shown in this press release.
Cangrelor is an investigational agent not approved for commercial use in any market. Cangrelor, an intravenous small molecule antiplatelet agent, is in development to prevent platelet activation and aggregation that leads to thrombosis in the acute care setting of the cardiac catheterization laboratory including in patients undergoing PCI. In October 2010, The Medicines Company initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial called PHOENIX to evaluate cangrelor in patients undergoing PCI.

Press Release
UNAIDS Applauds Uzbekistan for Removing Restrictions on Entry, Stay and Residence for People Living With HIV
No Travel Restrictions in Andorra and Slovakia Confirmed
October 21, 2013
Geneva -- The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) welcomes the recent lifting of all restrictions on entry, stay and residence for people living with HIV in Uzbekistan. The reforms were passed by Parliament in August of 2013 and signed by the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, on 23 September 2013.
"I welcome this important milestone in Uzbekistan and I hope this will encourage other countries to take similar action towards a world with zero HIV-related stigma and discrimination," said the Executive Director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé.
UNAIDS advocates for the right to equal freedom of movement -- regardless of HIV status. There is no evidence that restrictions on the entry, stay or residence of people living with HIV protect the public's health.
As part of its on-going dialogue with countries on this issue, in July 2013, UNAIDS sent official communications to all countries, territories and areas that appeared to have HIV-related entry, stay and residence restrictions. Through this exercise, new information was received from Andorra and the Slovak Republic, indicating that there are no HIV-related restrictions in these countries.
With the removal of Uzbekistan's restrictions, and confirmation that there are no restrictions in Andorra and Slovakia -- UNAIDS counts 41 countries, territories, and areas that impose some form of restriction on the entry, stay and residence based on HIV status. These include: Aruba, Australia, Bahrain, Belarus, Belize, Brunei Darussalam, Comoros, Cuba, Cyprus, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Qatar, Russian Federation, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Chinese Taipei, Tajikistan, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

October 2002
Study Design: We used a prospective cohort design, enrolling children at 10 hospitals. Group I included 205 vertically HIV-infected children enrolled at a median age of 1.9 years. Group II consisted of 600 HIV-exposed children enrolled prenatally or as neonates, of whom 93 were ultimately HIV-infected. The main outcome measures were echocardiographic indexes of left ventricular dysfunction.
Results: In Group I, the five-year cumulative incidence of left ventricular fractional shortening <25 percent was 28 percent. The five-year incidence of left ventricular end-diastolic dilatation was 21.7 percent, and heart failure and/or the use of cardiac medications 28.8 percent. The mortality rate one year after the diagnosis of heart failure was 52.5 percent [95 percent CI, 30.5-74.5]. Within Group II, the five-year cumulative incidence of decreased fractional shortening was 10.7 percent in the HIV-infected compared with 3.1 percent in the HIV-uninfected children (p= .01). Left ventricular dilation, heart failure, and/or the use of cardiac medications were more common in infected compared with uninfected children.
Conclusions: During five years of follow-up, cardiac dysfunction occurred in 18 percent to 39 percent of HIV-infected children and was associated with an increased risk of death. [T.J. Starc et al.; J Pediatr; 2002 Sep;141(3):327-34.]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Christina Applegate says she's bowing out of NBC's "Up All Night."
In a statement Friday, the actress says the show has taken a "different creative direction" and she's decided to move on to other projects. She called the sitcom a great experience and says she'll miss her co-workers.
"Up All Night" starred Applegate and Will Arnett as a couple with a new baby. The show has struggled in the ratings and has seen several changes in its producer ranks.
It also was set to change formats, shifting from a single-camera to multi-camera approach when it returned for the rest of its second season.
NBC declined to comment on the future of "Up All Night," which last aired in December. The sitcom isn't currently in production.

The Democratic Party's 2012 convention may be energizing women and minorities, but it may not help them with the white working class.
Throughout the convention's first two days, the party highlighted its diversity, with meetings of different racial or ethnic minorities, and a showcase of women and minorities speaking from the stage. San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro was the keynote speaker, the first Hispanic ever to grab the coveted spot. At the same time, the convention boasts that four out of 10 delegates are African-American or Hispanic, and half are women.
Convention organizers insist working-class whites have hardly been forgotten. Former President Bill Clinton was Wednesday's main event, and the program featured a number of "American heroes," including auto workers who credit President Barack Obama for saving their jobs.
It may not be enough.
"This is an issue we've been dealing with since the mid-'70s: How do you appeal to white males. And we've never come up with the right formula for it," said Rep. Mel Watt of North Carolina.
"Democrats have a problem with white middle-class voters," added Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center, which has studied that electorate in depth. "Those voters are very disappointed and very critical of Obama as president."
Working class convention-goers say more effort is needed.
"I believe the president's losing support among the blue-collar workers. A lot of people feel he promised a lot, and they're angry," said Bob Miller, an electrician from Hatfield, Pa.
Many people Miller knows were already sympathetic to Republican social positions – opposition to strict gun control, for instance – but backed Obama in 2008 because of his message of economic hope.
Obama rewrote recent political history that year. Until the late 1970s, blue-collar whites were usually strong Democrats. They tended to be labor union members, often with ethnic urban roots, and came from families that had voted for Democratic presidential candidates for generations.
A variety of factors pushed them away. Democrats became champions of affirmative action, which many whites thought threatened their jobs and promotions. Cultural conservatives were often uncomfortable with the party's pledge of easier access to abortion, gun control, and gay rights. Democrats also seemed willing to keep tax rates up and to funnel dollars to the less wealthy, dollars that workers felt were often going to irresponsible people who were not working.
President Ronald Reagan successfully tapped this vein, creating an army of "Reagan Democrats," a term that still lingers. Democrats occasionally won them back in tough economic times. In 2008, Republicans struggled to only a 46 percent to 44 percent edge, according to Pew.
This year, the Republican advantage has returned. A Pew survey released Aug. 23 found white working-class voters this year preferring Republicans 52 percent to 40 percent.
The gain among whites crosses many lines. Democrats gained a big lead among whites with family incomes below $30,000 in 2008. Today, that lead is gone.
Whites earning between $30,000 and $74,999, generally considered the working middle class, had split between the two parties four years ago. Republicans now have a 17 percentage point advantage.
The Democrats' answer is that the convention is putting strong emphasis on economic security for the middle class and portraying Republicans as hopelessly out of touch.
"We're going to have an honest conversation about where we were in 2008," said Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt. "We've made progress."
Democrats are reminding delegates how Obama pushed for the auto industry bailout, while Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was opposed. They're telling viewers how Obama would maintain current income tax rates for people earning less than $250,000. Romney would continue current, lower rates for everyone, including the wealthy.
The Obama forces tout the 2010 federal health care law, which should make it easier for millions to obtain coverage by 2014. Romney wants to repeal it.
Dave Green is ready to spread the word. He's president of United Auto Workers Local 1714 in Ohio, a crucial state where votes of his 1,500 members could help decide the election. The Lordstown, Ohio, Chevy plant, for years a popular presidential campaign stop, is running three shifts, up from one about four years ago.
Obama carried Ohio in 2008, but in 2010, Ohioans turned against Democrats and elected a conservative Republican governor and U.S. senator.
"A lot of people just thought the economy didn't get good enough fast enough," Green explained. "And a lot still vote single issue, against gays, for God and for guns."
Democrats are carefully confident. "I think, really, it's a matter of economics," said John Podesta, who served as Clinton's chief of staff. "The real question is can he close the gap. I think that, in part . . . happens when people understand the consequences of his economic programs."

- 1 litre milk
- 1/2 litre cream
- 250 gr (9 oz) sugar
- 200 gr (7.1 oz) short grain rice
- 100 gr (3.6 oz) quality dark chocolate chopped
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Orange peel (2-3 stripes)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
In a pan at very low heat put the milk, rice, orange peel and cinnamon stick. Cook stiring very often so the milk wont burn on the bottom of the pan. Let the rice cook and the milk evaporate almost completly. At this point the rice should be a stick-creamy texture almost cooked but with still a bit of an "al-dente" feel.
Add the cream and stir until it evaporates and the rice is fully cooked and creamy. At this point add the sugar and stir 1 minute more until it dissolves. Take out of the stove and discard the cinnamon and orange. Only now add the chopped chocolate, there will be enough heat to melt it. Mix it until incorporated and resist licking the spoon! Add aldo the vanilla now if using.
I prefer to eat it at room temperature, but you can eat it warm or cold. It shoul keep fine in the fridge for 3-4 days. Enjoy!

Hi all,
recently bought a copy of Merger's "Biko", a fantastic record with a haunting chorus. On the back of the sleeve is this picture:
Does anybody know more about the story behind this picture? I know already it was taken during the Soweto riots. American afrobeat band Antibalas also use it on their debut LP:
Why has this pic become such an icon for this event? What was going on around that time? Would like to get some good info on those events.
If anybody knows about other LP's that use the picture as well, would be interesting too.

A united front
She's from that school where they teach you to always stand by and stick it through. Catherine Zeta-Jones was well trained in this respect, especially when there are other sh-tty situations to contend with. The Zetas of the world, they don't crumble in crisis. She steels herself and moves ahead. So here they are, Zeta and Michael, last night in New York at the Robin Hood Foundation, very old guard glamour. And while she's become incredibly thin, she does look very beautiful. Her face has always been first class.
Michael as you know made headlines recently when his son Cameron was sentenced to 5 years in prison on drug related offences. He did not hide from the scandal; rather he appeared on morning television and other programmes explaining that he supported his son's jail stay, hoping that it would be the catalyst for him to finally straighten out his life. He was also forthcoming about his own shortcomings as a father – consumed with career and not with being a parent, his constant absences meant that Cameron likely lacked the structure and guidance necessary in youth. It's the same with so many of the kids we see at Covenant House Vancouver. It doesn't have to super dramatic. People can get lost so quickly.
These days, Michael says he's devoted to his younger children, prioritises family over work, particularly now since Zeta is on Broadway as he tends to their kids. He is however expected in Cannes this weekend for Wall Street 2 with Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, and Oliver Stone.
Part of me refuses to believe this is the same person from Romancing the Stone. That movie was early stirring sex for me and he was so grown up and attractive and Man. It's like James Taylor. I can't look at James Taylor now. Because James Taylor then, well sh-t, an entire generation of women will tell you, James Taylor then was perfect. When I was obsessed with Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon and Carole King last summer, I would spend too much time staring at photos of James Taylor from back in the day. Now that's the face of a boy they all wanted to save. Michael's appeal was different. He was all slick and spice. The past and present incongruity though, it's the same for both. And Kathleen Turner? This is an entirely different discussion.

Obama Proposes Universal Preschool for 4-Year-Olds
- Mike Farris, Esq. President of Patrick Henry College
- 2013 17 Apr
In an apparent effort to continually expand federal involvement in public education, President Obama announced last Wednesday in his budget plan a proposal to create universal preschool for low-income families. The plan, which is called Preschool for All, is aimed at 4-year-olds to help them be "better prepared for the demands of the global economy." The plan will be funded by raising taxes on cigarette sales.
HSLDA founder Michael Farris voiced his opposition to this plan. "[There are] several observations," he wrote in a recent Facebook post."There is no evidence that such programs provide ANY lasting educational benefit. There is no evidence that such programs actually prepare workers for the global economy."
In the past, HSLDA has opposed federal attempts to regulate early education, such as the Head Start and Race to the Top programs. In 2010, HSLDA Federal Relations Director William Estrada echoed the concerns that such programs have shown little to no improvement for children that take part in universal preschools.
Citing several studies that show universal preschool programs in Georgia, Oklahoma, and New Jersey produce negative results, Estrada concluded, "Research shows again and again that there are no long-lasting positive impacts to public preschool. Even in 1969, the Westinghouse Learning Corporation evaluated Head Start and found that 'Full year programs resulted in cognitive and language gains at the first grade but appeared to "fade out" by second or third grade.'"
Not only does HSLDA view such programs as wasteful and unconstitutional, but we also see these programs as a threat to parental rights over what their children learn. When speaking about the Race to the Top initiative in 2011, Estrada noted, "For one thing, will this mean early learning programs eventually will have to teach what the federal government thinks that young children should learn? Will religious early learning programs eventually have to limit what they teach? There are many unanswered questions about where this state licensing, approval, and supervision could lead."
Farris also noted the threat of federal involvement in preschool. "Now we know what this MSNBC promo was all about. The village wants our kids. We need more 'investments' for the village's kids. Balderdash. They want our kids lest any of us raise our children to think differently than their worldview.
"I don't want my children being prepared as workers in the global economy; I want them to be prepared to lead America."

A few places I have been lately
I've been lucky enough to find myself in some pretty cool places recently.
I was interviewed by the good folks at Ethos3 for their blog. Anyone interested in social media, evil or Pink Floyd should check out their seven questions (and my seven answers).
The Analytical Impressions podcast was officially launched last Sunday. It features an interview with me about social media, with an emphasis on how musicians can use the web to interact and engage with their fans. Analytical Impressions – Episode 1: Dave Delaney
A few weeks ago I joined the Digital Nashville members at their first mixer. The New Mediology podcast was present conducting interviews with a few folks. I was happy to chat with Nathan Moore and Bill Seaver about the growing technology scene in Nashville. It's truly an exciting time to be living in such an up and coming tech-savvy city, watch out Silicon Valley! Episode 12 of The New Mediology – Digital Nashville
On Monday I was featured in a Canadian national radio interview with Nora Young on the CBC. I'll be posting a link to that here when I get a copy to share with you. Stay tuned.
Thanks to everybody for their interest in my two cents, I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to chat.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (April 2, 2008) - The ETSU softball team went toe-to-toe with the 12th ranked Tennessee Lady Vols in the opener of Wednesday's doubleheader, but Tiffany Huff's two-out, game-winning RBI single in the seventh lifted UT to a 4-3 victory from Lee Softball Stadium.
In game one, ETSU picked up a pair of hits from sophomore Marissa Hardy (
Through the next four innings, ETSU could not get anything going offensively against
UT extended its lead to 3-0 as they scored two runs on three hits in the bottom half of the fifth. Kenora Posey lifted one over Cheniece Cason's (
ETSU finally had an answer for
The Lady Vols' (Kelly) Grieve led off the seventh with a flare single to left and advanced to second when Mogan walked. Things looked bleak for the Lady Bucs with Tonya Callahan - UT's best hitter stepped in the box - but Hardy forced her to ground into a double play at third. However, Tiffany Huff came up with a two-out, game-winning single to left, which ricocheted off Hackworth's glove and landed in the left field grass, making it 4-3.
Hardy suffered the loss after allowing four runs on nine hits in 6.2 innings and had her record fall to 8-9 on the season. Freshman Ashton Ward earned the win after tossing one inning of one hit ball in relief for her 18th victory.
Freshman right-hander Ashley Boyd (
Katie Henderson reached in the second when she was hit by a pitch and on a fielder's choice in the fourth, while Hardy broke up the no-hit bid with a double to right and earned a walk in the fourth.
Hardy (8-10) lost her fourth straight decision, allowing five runs on three hits, while Ward improved her mark to 19-3 with her one-hit shutout. Boyd allowed two runs on seven hits in 5.2 innings of relief.

(PIOP) – After a shaky rookie season which had its ups and downs, Marcus Mariota has come into his own during his second season at the Tennessee Titans quarterback. He might be soft spoken off the field, but make no doubt about it Mariota is a beast on the field and in the weight room. His success hasn't come without scrutiny, and recently Marcus has received a few calls from the commissioners office in NYC regarding his potential use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED's).
Mariota is a phenomenal athlete. He ran the 40 yard dash in 4.48 seconds at the combine but after being drafted by the Titans he really added a lot of muscle to his skinny frame and did so in a short period of time. Rather than continuing to speculate, we decide to give Marcus and call and ask him specifically what supplements he takes. He told us the following:
"My trainer was determined to get the best of my physical potential and it seems that he succeeded. When I reported to my team in July and weighed in at 231 pounds, everyone was amazed by my muscle growth. I owe everything to my trainer who also recommended some amazing supplements which make me feel stronger and more energetic than ever.I have always been clean and I would never take something that wasn't approved by the NFL," Mariota concluded.
Everything You Need to Know About the Marcus Mariota Supplements:
'Testosterone Boosting Factors' Increase Muscle 800% vs. Placebo — Does This New Steroid Alternative Give It's Users an 'Distinct Advantage' When Stacked Together?
These new dietary supplements that we're talking about contains a special pair of fatty acid 'growth factors' that are crucial to building muscle. This special compound is the main reason the supplement has become the most popular steroid alternative in professional sports circles. Even the harshest critics will admit that the ingredients — cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linioleic acid and phosphatidylserine (Ps) are potent in the innovative all-natural supplement — but they also say the muscle stack is giving its users a "distinct advantage" over the competition because of its immediate muscle growth effects and these naysayers believe the 2 supplements should be banned in professional sports.
On the other hand proponents will tell you that their research has shown these natural muscle supplements are not only safe, but also effective for men that don't have time to workout at the gym or follow a strict diet regiment.
The one thing that everyone agrees on is that this new muscle building method, although controversial, has phenomenal results. According to a recent study conducted as ESPN's Sports Science facilities, beginners with no prior weight training experience that used the muscle stack for 7 weeks saw an 800% increase in muscle mass (3x increase in bicep circumference), which was over 10x greater than those who received the placebo. Those results alone speak volumes to these Muscle Boosters.
Incredible Transformations
But what was even more fascinating was the lack of side effects. There were literally zero side effects because all of the ingredients are all natural. Users even experienced improved health statistics, including decreased LDL cholesterol, unwanted triglycerides, and lower levels of blood sugar. There's not much more you can ask for as an athlete, but average Joe's were nervous about putting on too much weight.
While users experience massive growth's in muscle issue, the supplement manages to speed up your metabolism while targeting fatty tissue in your abdominal zone. Users saw a 1.5-inch reduction of belly fat on average during testing — without adjusting their diet or increasing cardio.
Final Review: Should the Muscle Stack Be Banned or Fair Game?
Athletes that tested these innovative supplements over the course of 6 weeks added 20 pounds of lean muscle, while decrease their body fat percentage by 7% compared to those who took the placebo. Users increased their bench press by almost 40 pounds during the time frame. Other supplements companies have begun to hear the rumors and have attempted to reciprocate the compounds to their own products, however the propriety components of and offer unparalleled results that are almost impossible to mimic. It's tough to find a locker room in professional sports that doesn't have and in it.
Yes there will always be those critics that say these results are too similar to HGH and other anabolic steroids, and they should be banned in professional sports, but since the ingredients are all natural they're untraceable by organizations. From an ethical standpoint, since these compounds are separate from natural food sources they're same as taking creatine or other NO2 products.
To explain in greater details, steroids, just like these natural compounds, are so effective because they minimize the catabolic effects of cortisol, which allows for greater amino intake, increased nitrogen retention, and advanced protein synthesis. This creates the exact lean muscle athletes will kill for. and are here to stay. The muscle stack is as legitimate of a alternative to unhealthy steroids that we are going to see.
'Shocking' Size and Strength Gains
Whether or not taking AND should be considering "cheating" is the last thing on the minds of the thousand of athletes that have been using the muscle stack over the last few months.
Of course, everyone here at PIOP wants to try the Marcus Mariota Supplements now, myself included. This is the first time we've discovered a combination of products with such profound results. Building muscle while losing weight is almost every weight trainers goal and and deliver and I will continue to take them and recommend them to friends and family.
"My trainer and I couldn't be more excited about the results from the the Marcus Mariota Supplements. I put on 20 pounds of lean muscle in 30 days without any altercation to my diet or workout regiment."
Results speak for themselves. Professional athletes and Hollywood Celebrities have kept this muscle stack secret, but now that the truth has been revealed and we have the results from our own experiments and research we have partnered with and for a limited time to be able to offer these products for free for those people that are serious about losing weight and building muscle. This free trial is available while supplies last and all you pay is under 5 bucks for shipping and handling for an amazing product.
Find out for yourself what everyone else is going crazy about! You have nothing to lose, except a few pounds!

LA Galaxy Head Coach Bruce
On the team's performance:
"It was a poor start to the game. For whatever reason, we came out and were sloppy for the first couple of minutes. We positioned ourselves to chase the game. I tell you – I thought we played extremely well tonight. We created chances. In the second half, we were absolutely dominating. We created some chances; hit the post a couple of times. I'm told that one that went off the post was a handball coming down. It happens. I don't like coming away with just a point at home, but given the circumstances and how we had to scrap to get that point at home—I can't complain. We certainly punished ourselves at times, but on the whole we were good and incredibly dominating in the second half. I hope it's a lesson to our guys. We were sloppy at the start of the game and it almost cost us more than a couple of points tonight. I'm obviously satisfied getting an equalizer at the end of the game and I'm more than satisfied with the way we attacked tonight and created chances. I'm disappointed the way we came out and started the game and certainly not pleased to give up a goal on the corner kick. Overall, there was an awful lot of good things out there and a couple issues we have to sort out. We have 40 points at this point of the season; it's not the worst thing."
"Leonardo was excellent tonight. What more can I say? Gregg [Berhalter's] been really good. Leonardo has a great game today. He was really good. Perhaps, Gregg not being available to start attributed to the sloppy organization of our backline at the start of the game. Leonardo was excellent today."
On getting players back from
"We have a lot of games ahead of us. There is no other way to get some guys minutes. Kovalenko hasn't played in a long time. We have no other way to move him a long, to get him ready to play and contribute. Leonardo is an excellent defender. We need to put him in there. There are going to be situations in the next couple of months where we will need to rotate our center backs, our holding midfielders and we have to play these players. There is no other way to get them into position and we move forward to help our team. You can't have a situation where six weeks down the road we have a suspension, an injury and we are expecting those guys to step on the field and not miss a beat. They have to play. It kills me to have to take Gregg out because he's been excellent, but he understands the situation. It's something we are trying to do as we move our team forward."
LA Galaxy midfielder Landon
On the result:
"It's a game that we should have won. We were the better team, we created a lot more chances. Getting scored on early was difficult to come back from, but we did a good job and you had to think if anyone was going to win it had to be us. Our resiliency was good, it was a good test for us, something we haven't dealt with a lot this year, going behind a goal and then a goal again, so all in all it's still okay and we can't really be mad because we played well and just had a few mistakes."
On the team's attacking
"We had 22 shots, 15 shots in the second half, 10 corner kicks, we hot the post – I think we created a lot good chances and on another night we would have won."
On the team's mindset trailing by a
goal late on:
"We had a lot of pressure on them, we kept going and at that point you keep hitting balls in front of the goal and you try to make a play. Sometimes it doesn't happen, but tonight it did happen. Tristan did a good job of hitting a shot/cross hard at the goal, Edson did a good job to follow and I was in the right place. When you put yourself in the right position, good things happen."
LA Galaxy forward Edson
On his 12th goal of the season:
"It went it. It was a tough ball. It skipped and was bouncing. It went past Alan [Gordon] and a defender. I had to have a quick reaction and get it on target. I was lucky to get a foot on to it."
On being behind a goal:
"We found ourselves behind early and showed some character coming back. We didn't want to be down a goal at home, but we definitely wanted to play out the game. We had to create some positives out of it."
LA Galaxy defender Omar
On LA's second goal:
"I think that we started playing well, just passing the ball and opening them up. We did a lot to come back and then we dug ourselves again. Late in the game, we had reserves come in and they did great. We opened them up and started getting crosses in, and got our second goal."
LA Galaxy midfielder Dema
On returning to the lineup:
"I'm not where I want to be. I know my game and how I play, I don't have the bite that I usually have but you know what, it feels great just to be with the team again. Sometimes you feel a little bit not part of it when you're not playing and it had been difficult so I'm glad to get in and get 60 minutes."
On the team's
"We said before the season, no matter who we play, we want to win. So (Bruce) is going to put the best 11 on the field and whoever he picks will be ready. (Bruce) has been here. We don't 11 guys, we have 24 on the roster and today guys stepped in and did a good job. It's not easy for him to only dress 18, there are guys that are disappointed but that's the coaching staff's job and they have to pick the best guys to give us a chance to win."
Jose Earthquakes Head Coach Frank
On tonight's game:
"I thought we defended great in the box to be honest. We didn't give them any looks. I think that a lot of the time if you try to break out too quickly against a team like LA they will punish you with gaps so we made sure we were compact and got our head or foot to everything. If you look at the chances that they had it wasn't the glaring chances they missed. I thought us on the break, we could have broke a little better we could have scored another one. They had a lot of pressure, a lot of balls went into the box and eventually it kind of cracked."
On the team's performance:
"The team is getting a little settled we've got good results. So what we are trying to do is now we are compact and strong as a unit and now we are trying to add to that and be a good football team. I have loosened my reigns a little bit on the team and let them express themselves a little more and I think it has worked. I wanted to make sure this season that we are difficult to beat and we have proved that and I think now we have only lost four games out of fifteen and that is a good record in this league. It is not easy to win games or as easy to lose but what is good is that now we are starting to express ourselves a bit more and we have some good players. I thought Bobby Convey was outstanding tonight, I thought Cornell Glen was dangerous all evening, I thought the two center backs were brave and strong it was a good performance by us."
Jose Earthquakes Midfielder Bobby
On tonight's game:
"Any points help us on the road. It is disappointing to lose in the last 30-40 seconds after putting in so much work, but unfortunately it did happen and a point against LA away is still good. Obviously everyone is disappointed. We played pretty well and obviously we scored on our chances."
On his
"It was an open goal, it was early on. Cornell [Glen] hit it towards the back post the goalie misplayed it and it is always good to score two minutes into a game especially away. It gives everyone confidence and it gives a team energy and I thought that it really set a good tone for the rest of the game for us."
On the
"I think their record is a bit unrealistic because they played three more games than we have and I don't think they are as good as everyone thinks they are. They had a good run and they have good players but I felt we lost the game they didn't win it. We lost the points because I thought we played well on the road it was a good game it was god for us it is really disappointing to tie at the end but it was a good point against LA on the road."
On the team's
"It is not a matter of winning or losing it is a matter of playing and I thought we stayed with them toe to toe and at times we had the ball more often and played well. It is not necessarily Western Conference and Eastern Conference. This shows that we can play against any team and show we should into any game thinking we are going to win."
Jose Goalkeeper Jon Busch
On tonight's game:
"I thought it was a good game. I thought it was two good teams going toe to toe. It was entertaining both ways obviously we got off to a very good start played some good soccer there we chances both ways they are a good team but not a team that we are scared of. I thought we played very well and are unfortunate not to get out of here with three points we did what we need to do to come into their place and almost take out three points."
On the team's
"We got our two goals. I am disappointed in myself obviously the guys worked hard to get me two goals and I thought on the second one the ball ate me up a little bit and all I could do is keep it out but I couldn't get up to get on the rebound and I am disappointed in myself in that. But other than that I think the guys played great. Like I said we had three points for the taking but we will take one knowing that we could have gotten out of here with three."
San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Brandon
On his goal:
"It feels good not necessarily scoring against my old team but to put us up in the lead and give us a position to win the game and take home the three points."
On his role in the
"There are a lot of characters on our team. My position and my role on this team is to be someone to help defensively and [Sam] Cronin is probably the guy in the front in the midfield that helps out more attacking. My role is to sit there and help us secure our backline and come away with victories."
On scoring against his former
"You want to come back and prove a point. It feels good expressing yourself in front of the fans that supported you while you were here and come away proving what you are able to do."
• With the draw, the Galaxy are now 12-2-4 on the season and remain alone in first place in the Western Conference. The Galaxy now have 40 points and are 10 points clear of Real Salt Lake at the top of the Western Conference and nine points ahead of Columbus for the best record in MLS.

There's been a fair bit of talk about last night's trade between the Avs and Blues, and the consensus is that however things shake out, the Avs acquired a future first pairing defender, the type of player that's generally hard to find unless you draft them yourself.
That type of consensus is, of course, often arrived at by conventional wisdom/groupthink and superficial analysis. Erik Johnson was a first overall pick and 2010 Olympian for the silver medalists, so the normal line of thought would lead one to presume that Johnson was already an elite player at the age of 22.
Simply accepting that sort of shallow overview, however, should never be good enough, since we've seen plenty of evidence in recent years that the conventional wisdom can be pretty damned flawed. For an excellent analysis of Johnson vs. Shattenkirk, mindmasher at Hockeyzen has it covered and then some, but I also wanted to have a brief look at how EJ compared to a high-end defender we're pretty familiar with in these parts.
Like Johnson, there was every expectation that Dion Phaneuf was a slam-dunk top pairing defenceman. That hasn't quite worked out as planned, which got me wondering how the newest member of the Avalanche compared to Phaneuf at a similar age.
First though, let's look at a few of Erik Johnson's underlying numbers at EV. As per usual, numbers are from BTN. All Qcomp/Qteam numbers are the Corsi ones. The team rankings are for defencemen on the Blues that have played at least 10 minutes a night for at least 30 games this year:
|Zone Start
|5th of 6
|1st of 6
|4th of 6
|3rd easiest
Johnson has spent the season scuffling against third pairing competition, as his RelCorsi shows, and he wasn't exactly getting the Bogosian treatment in terms of Zone Starts. He's had good teammates as well. Davis Payne was doing what many coaches do with young defenders in terms of making Johnson's life easier, but to be honest I would have expected a player as touted as Johnson to be showing more, even accepting that he's a few weeks away from his 23rd birthday.
Still, his numbers, as mindmasher showed, look about like Shattenkirk's at EV, and the Boston University product is a year younger. That's not exactly an endorsement for Johnson being much more advanced. Also, Johnson may have spent more time on the PK this year, but during his 22 year old season in 09/10, he averaged 47 seconds of PK time a night, so his perceived advantage in that area might be partially due to an edge in age and NHL experience. We'll have to see how Shattenkirk is deployed next year before the comparison can be fully made regarding utilization when his team is down a man. I supect Johnson will be more of an all-around workhorse, but that fact still needs time to be established.
I mentioned our old pal Dion earlier in the piece, and for good reason. He was basically the same age as Johnson in 07/08, a year where Phaneuf was nominated for the Norris Trophy. That nomination was a bit off, given that he didn't play top competition, but his numbers weren't applesauce, either. Note that team rankings in this case are for Flames' defencemen that played 10 minutes a night for at least 40 games in 07/08:
|Zone Start
|3rd of 7
|2nd of 7
|1st of 6
|3rd easiest
Dion's EV possession numbers were better than Johnson's, and he managed them against second liners, which is a step ahead of either Johnson or Shattenkirk. He also compiled those numbers carrying Anders Eriksson around for most of the season, which is a point in his favour as well, because that guy couldn't play a lick. Unlike Shattenkirk, Phaneuf put in his time on the PK, averaging 2:48 a night, but the 07/08 season was his third full year in the pros, so you'd expect more from that sort of player.
Worth mentioning as well is the relative team strength. Calgary wasn't any sort of EV powerhouse, as they were slightly outshot at 5v5 (27.5/60 SF to 27.8/60 SA) in 07/08, while this year's Blues club is 29.2/60 to 27.9/60 on the good side. For purposes of comparison, Colorado is currently 29.9/60 SF, 30/.0/60 SA 5v5.
I have no problem preaching patience when it comes to young defencemen. Not every guy is Drew Doughty, and there's certainly a decent chance that Erik Johnson becomes the all-around player he was projected to be in 2006. Phaneuf's mild retrogression since his 23 year old season should serve as a cautionary tale, though. Johnson may well turn out to better than either of Shattenkirk or Phaneuf, but anyone that's suggesting it's a certainty is doing it solely based on draft pedigree and best guesses, because there's no concrete evidence to this point that would confirm that belief.

Detailed Description
Perl 6 is a major revision to the Perl programming language, which introduces elements of many modern and historical languages. There are currently multiple implementation projects of Perl 6 underway, the most actively developed one is Rakudo, which is based on the Parrot virtual machine.
Benefit to Fedora
Providing Perl 6 support makes Fedora an attractive platform for developers. Rakudo will enable developers to write new applications or port existing ones. By offering Perl 6 at the current state Fedora once again proves it's foundations Features and First
- Package reviews
- Continuous updates each month
How To Test
- Test that rakudo builds on the parrot RPMs provided in Fedora.
- Use the test suite included in Rakudo to verify that it actually works:
make testwill run a suite of tests, designed to make sure that the Rakudo compiler is basically working and that it's capable of running a simple test harness.
make spectestwill import relevant portions of the official Perl 6 test suite from the Pugs repository and run all of the tests that are currently known to pass.
User Experience
Rakudo will enable developers to write new applications or port existing ones to Perl 6. Although Perl 6 is still in development and no official release date has been set, the specification is feature complete and mature. Rakudo has released 19 stable releases so far. Both parrot and rakudo do one stable release each month and developers will get them easily without hassle on a regular schedule.
- Parrot >= 2.6: Parrot 2.6.0 will be released on July 20, will be in Fedora >= 12)
- Rakudo:
(Note that the base parrot rpm is required at runtime.)
Contingency Plan
Drop the rakudo package from Fedora 12.

For Menu lag, make sure your motherboard and video card drivers are up to date, and that you have applied the official patch to the game. Another workaround is to unplug a USB peripheral(keyboard/mouse) before you get to the menu.

ECU dental center opens for patients in Ahoskie
Aug. 7, 2012
By Doug Boyd
ECU News Services
Clarence Medlin had been X-rayed. Next, a dentist would start working on his loose teeth.
"I've just neglected my teeth all my life," said Medlin, a 52-year-old crane operator from Roanoke Rapids. "I don't really know why. I'm more educated than that, but it's one of those things."
Medlin was one of the patients being seen Aug. 2 at the East Carolina University School of Dental Medicine Community Service Learning Center in Ahoskie, which opened this month. He made the 50-mile trip because he could get an appointment quickly.
The center is the first of 10 the dental school plans to build across the state. The second one is scheduled to open later this year in Elizabeth City. Sites for four others have been announced: Sylva, Spruce Pine, Lillington and Thomasville.
Dr. Gregory Chadwick, interim dean of the dental school, has said he hopes the centers will help improve the status of dental health in the state while adding an innovative educational aspect to dental school.
Dr. Ford Grant is reflected in glasses worn by dental patient Clarence Medlin as Grant examines Medlin's teeth Aug. 2, at the ECU School of Dental Medicine Community Service Learning Center in Ahoskie.
"We've taken the fourth floor of the dental school – the senior year clinical area – we've stretched the wires and we're moving that part of our dental school to communities across the state where dental services are needed," Chadwick said recently. "We are not only providing much needed care, but we are also educating our future dentists in areas similar to where we hope they will practice."
The $3 million, 8,000-square-foot center not far from Hertford County High School is perhaps the most advanced dental clinic in the state. Its 16 chairs include a group in front of a large window where children will receive dental care. The idea is that peer pressure will help the children better cope with getting their teeth worked on, said Dr. Ford Grant, clinical associate professor of dental medicine at ECU and director of the center.
Next door, an exam room features a dental chair that can be moved on a cushion of air and replaced with a wheelchair stand that tilts its occupant back for a traditional dental care posture.
A room equipped with a special microscope helps dentists performing endodontics – root canals – better see the work they're doing inside patients' mouths.
Radiology equipment can take 3D images of the face and transmit them to any computer station in the clinical area.
Grant puts it succinctly. "I felt like they handed me the keys to a Ferrari," he said. "It blew me away."
In addition to Grant, once the center is fully staffed, it will have two dental residents, five to six dental assistants and two to three dental hygienists. Four to five fourth-year students will work at the center for nine-week rotations beginning in 2014.
Dr. Chimere Callaway
Dr. Chimere Callaway is one of four advanced education in general dentistry residents now at the center – two of them will transfer to the Elizabeth City center when it opens. Callaway said she's known of the lack of access to health care and other services in eastern North Carolina since she was a Girl Scout in Charlotte packing supplies to send east following hurricane landfalls.
As a student at Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry in Nashville, Tenn., she was taught the importance helping those in need.
"This would be the perfect opportunity to fulfill my mission" of working in an underserved area, she said. She was also excited about being among the first residents in the first center. "We're kind of like the trend-setters."
Not far from the center, 18-wheelers haul their loads around the clock. Farmers work fields of corn, cotton, soybeans and tobacco. Thousands of logs taken from nearby forests are stacked high at sawmills. Ahoskie is in the middle of a rural area where not everyone sees dental care as a priority – or can afford to make it so.
"If you're going to get gas to get to work or groceries for your family or a crown, you're going to get gas and groceries, unless you're in pain," said Grant, who joined ECU from Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he developed Carolinas Mobile Dentistry serving nursing home residents. "We have a lot of people who might take their teeth out at home."
He wants local citizens with dental problems to know "we can treat this. We can make it healthy," he said.
The center aims to treat patients who do not have a regular dentist. It accepts Medicaid patients and charges on a sliding scale. Grant said fees typically are about 70 percent of those at a private dental practice.
Dental school leaders also hope the center will help attract new dentists to underserved areas. North Carolina ranks 47th out of the 50 states in the number of dentists per capita, according to the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many people without good dental care live in rural areas, where North Carolina averages three dentists for every 10,000 people. That compares to urban areas of the state, where the ratio is nearly five dentists for every 10,000 people. Nationally, the ratio is six dentists for every 10,000 people.
Three North Carolina counties, all in the northeast -- Tyrrell, Hyde and Camden -- have no dentists.
Grant said he could have stayed in Charlotte and been happy with his grandchildren, but he wanted to do more teaching. The center will give him that chance as students get an education in what it's like to work in a small-town dental practice – from patient care to practice management to community relations.
"You can't sit in a classroom and learn everything there is to learn and go out and practice," Grant said.
ECU's second class of 52 dental students begin their studies this month. Its new home, the four-story Ross Hall, is scheduled to open in September.

February is for the freaks.
They roll into Indianapolis, perform some forehead-slapping feats of athleticism, blow away NFL evaluators, and watch their draft stock skyrocket.
"You caution yourself, tell yourself, 'Now, let's not fall in love with a guy in shorts,'" former NFL coach Brian Billick said. "And then you go and fall in love with a guy in shorts."
This week, as the draft unfurls in Chicago, we will see how enamored NFL teams are with this year's workout warriors, the prospects who were at the top of their class in running or lifting or jumping, or sometimes all three combined.
There's J.J. Nelson, an Alabama Birmingham receiver who...

Google awarded a $1.5 million grant to Code for America, a non-profit that wants to support the development of Web applications for public sector agencies and organizations.
The firm recruits "top talent from the tech industry" who are willing to spend a year "building civic software that will help cities cut costs, work smarter and engage more with their citizens," according to its website.
In a blog post, Code for America founder Jennifer Pahlka said the money would help support funding of more coding fellowships in the coming year.
One, the Civic Startup Seed Accelerator, would help "foster sustainable businesses that can become the next generation of government vendors," Pahlka wrote. "Disruptive technology in the hands of entrepreneurs can change the world." The project is also supported by a grant from the Kauffman Foundation.
A second project, the CfA Brigade, is "an online platform to connect civic hackers and others with each other locally and to reuse and remix civic apps in their cities."

Beautified boats at "it's a small world"
Under renovation for six months, "it's a small world" reopens on 19 December. Let's take a comprehensive look at what will be new.
This iconic attraction will regain its original splendour and don its most beautiful finery ever. First, the external facade will be repainted in a new palette of colours while the central clock, its dolls and special effects have been restored and renovated. The fountain, a true emblem of the location will reveal itself in a new light.
Guests with reduced mobility will have special, direct access to the boarding platform while most of the external walkways will be resurfaced with paving tiles, optimal in terms aesthetics as well as care and maintenance. The central lagoon's bottom will be covered with a more brilliant resin and all the boats refurbished in harmony with the new palette.
All the dolls and their costumes (a total of 176!) will be progressively replaced by 2017. All the special effects –as well as hanging decorative elements – will be restored to their original glory. The audio system will be modified and practically all the stage lights will be replaced by LED lighting. The entrance and exit scenes will be completely renovated while the colours and lights of the final scene have been modified. An important amount of work that WDI, Maintenance and Facilities & Assets Management teams have conducted together.
Appointment made on December 19 to (re)discover the "happiest cruise that ever sailed!"

Hi, there! I'm from Brazil, and I'll be at DisneylandParis on my 40th birthday with my family (a husband and 3 daughters). May I have my "magical birthday ever"? This include a character? How I order it? We're ordering a 1day/2parks ticket, and we have a doubt about the time of Paris Express. It leaves Disnenyland at 8pm, is that time AFTER the fireworks and night parade? We're very excited with this family travel,and we'll be waiting ansiously for your reply
i ver good food very good
Wonderful article, please more like this!
I've never seen that castle elevation artwork before, could you post it in a higher resolution? Would love to thoroughly investigate the details of it.
Kind regards

What's the point of attracting adults and "reconnecting them with childhooh emotions and memories" if once they're there you'll treat them like they're not welcome?
Maybe the problem is not our perception is wrong. Maybe the problem is you really don't want us to go.
There's a Santa Fe style hotel? Oh my! Will have to go back and stay there! Only hotel I had time to see on my first visit was the Disneyland Hotel on my way into the park to see Captain Eo after it re-opened in June 2010. I was on a one-day visit via the Eurostar from London (on holiday there from Australia) so very limited time – too limited. But I loved it.
I've been 4 times to Disneyland Paris in the last 3 years and each time the service has been absolutely dredful and not even apologetic – would love to see how this changes.
What is the exact division of the other 75% of visitors?
We've ariverd at the end of the line and I have what I need!

Is there any chance of buying used furniture if your aren't an employe?
Also my question:-) Is there a way to buy something although i'm not working at Disneyland Paris?
So, so sad to see this icon show close! I first saw it in California in 1987 and was blown away by what was then incredible 3D technology, as well as Michael's performance. When I visited Disneyland Paris for the first (and thus far, only) time on 24 June 2010 I was on a EuroStar day trip to the park from London which I was visiting for Michael Jackson 1st anniversary events with his UK fans. When I heard that Disneyland Paris and other Disney Parks were re-opening the film as a tribute to Michael, I HAD to make the journey across the channel to see it again. Needless to say, I made the most of the opportunity for repeat screenings on that day. And though I've since seen it repeatedly in Anaheim and Tokyo (shortly before it closed there last year) I'll never, ever forget seeing it on the big screen for the first time since the 80s at Disneyland Paris. I'm not sure I want to go back now. 🙁
It's a shame this classic has to go, really!
I'm glad I got the chance to experience it once again with the tribute performance.
It was not quite the same since many of the original effects and the look and feel of the cinema were missing, still the old 3D glasses/technique and and analogue! print/and projector was used, which was and is kind of lazy from Disney. Also, the print was very worn out the last time I've seen it and should have been replaced long ago.
But, still better than no Captain EO.
Since Captain EO will never return to the Disney parks, please release a worthy blu-ray of this classic masterpiece (in 3D and 2D). I'm sure plenty of Disney-, Michael Jackson-, Anjelica Huston, Franics Ford Coppola- and George Lucas-Fans would buy it in an instant!
I sure would!
Why oh why is this closing?
Have seen it several times at Disneyland Paris in the last couple of years and and each showing was packed out! Judging by everyone's reaction on the way out, the audience clearly loved both the film and its effects.
Bad decision, Disney 🙁
dew]\d s475gf
It already looks amazing! I very curious how the hotel will look when finished.
The reason it has closed is that jardly anyone watches. Figures have dwindled and have been for years. It has been declining in the mast few years. Everyone moans and groans but it costs Disney to keep it running and if the audiences ain't coming, who can afford to keep it.
between Oxford and CambridgeONSet the price of a $268look on approximately $358 and buyers will flip away. While you are it true the quick gladness in a bestthe states in the nation with such as AC Milan red and black
Will they finally remove the unused storage lockers?
Would it be possible to meet with some one in hr on the 2nd idecember2015 to discuss student placement with you. Students would be 18 plus studying travel and tourism funded via Erasmus
Kind regards
Will the renovation include the geysers and mark twain? 🙂
Great presentation! I'm really happy to see all the (good) changes at Disneyland Paris.
We used these just after Christmas. Such a vast improvement since our last visit in summer 2014. Well done! I still had to wait from about 9am to get a good spot in the queue, but then we only waited about 10 minutes in the actual pavilion, as opposed to 70 minutes last time!
We had a wonderfull new years evening at euro disney 2015 – 2016!!!!
It was fantastic!!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great info dog I owe you biggtiy.
Will the foliage be refurbished? Many leaves and small branches are missing and spoil the attraction so hopefully these will be refurbished.
Sharp thgikinn! Thanks for the answer.
Hello We are a family of 4 with my husband and 2 children.I am 32 weeks pregnant.With the easy access card will I have access to attractions with my family.
would changing the perception around DP to attract adults or a particular age groups not be at the expense of other age groups eg kids, teenagers.
Is there a computer program that will automatically start other programs?
I value the knowledge on your websites. Thank you!.
What a shame that they cast aside the park's heritage, people's memories and their love of DLP by destroying the named stones and replacing them with bland slabs.
There were a few broken and loose ones, but surely they could have been kept and relayed to a better standard than they had previously.
It has really dampened our DLP experience. What next? Removal of the castle?
it'sasmallworld is more beautifulthan before.
I will ride to it's a smallworld during go to disneyland paris.

heyyyyyyyyy guys its rolo watts
Can anyone help with getting in touch with photopass for Disneyland Paris. Tried sending email through contact us but email keeps coming back undeliverable. All photos are not coming up and need them to find my photos.
Not Impressed! Big Thunder mountain is one of my favorite Disney Rides! Shut! Simlarly, the Star Wars events are apparently unavailable.No mention of these attractions being shut when my booking was made in June. My grandson, for whom we arranged this trip, has extatically reached the height limit, and a star wars addict/devotee will now be denied these pleasures. Will there be a refund/discount offered?
would love to see this program in the UK. Anyone know if there is a translated version?
