No matter how well decorated, a media room or office loses its style factor once you factor in the colony of tech boxes connected to the TV or computer by a tangle of cords. Whether it's the cable box or game console, the internet router or an external hard drive, what the tech lover in you craves, the decorator in you hates. That's why I'm thrilled to have chanced upon HIDEit Mounts. The company makes affordable discreet holders for all those ugly tech accessories that you can mount up and out of the way. Some are made to hide on the wall behind your flatscreen, others can hang off your monitor. All of them solve the issue of unattractive electronics cluttering precious console and desktop space – because after all, those zones are best reserved for the likes of a pretty vase of flowers or a picture frame holding a sentimental snapshot. Am I right?

bold and colourful summer accents

For a lot of people (including myself) bright colours are often hard to commit to in a home! I'm all for neutrals (have you seen my apartment?!) however I am a firm believer that having fun colourful accents is key to finishing off a room. For neutral lovers trying to venture into the colour world, one of the easiest places to start incorporating bolder shades is on your patio! I recently did a segment on the Marilyn Denis show all about fun, new colourful outdoor furniture & accessories. Take a look to see some of my favouirte pieces coming out and where I suggest using them.

Product description
From the actor who somehow lived through it all, a "sharply detailed...funny book about a cinematic comedy of errors" ("The New York Times"): the making of the cult film phenomenon "The Room." In 2003, an independent film called "The Room"--starring and written, produced, and directed by a mysteriously wealthy social misfit named Tommy Wiseau--made its disastrous debut in Los Angeles. Described by one reviewer as "like getting stabbed in the head," the $6 million film earned a grand total of $1,800 at the box office and closed after two weeks. Ten years later, it's an international cult phenomenon, whose legions of fans attend screenings featuring costumes, audience rituals, merchandising, and thousands of plastic spoons. Hailed by "The Huffington Post" as "possibly the most important piece of literature ever printed," "The Disaster Artist" is the hilarious, behind-the-scenes story of a deliciously awful cinematic phenomenon as well as the story of an odd and inspiring Hollywood friendship. Greg Sestero, Tommy's costar, recounts the film's bizarre journey to infamy, explaining how the movie's many nonsensical scenes and bits of dialogue came to be and unraveling the mystery of Tommy Wiseau himself. But more than just a riotously funny story about cinematic hubris, ""The Disaster Artist" is one of the most honest books about friendship I've read in years" ("Los Angeles Times)."

Jay Finks
Thank you, Kevin. Good morning, everyone. We very much appreciate you joining us this morning for CVR Refining third quarter 2013 earnings call. With me are Jack Lipinski, our Chief Executive Officer; Susan Ball, our Chief Financial Officer; and Stan Riemann, our Chief Operating Officer.
Prior to discussing our 2013 third quarter results, let me remind you that this conference call may contain forward-looking statements as that term is defined under federal securities laws. For this purpose any statements made during this call that are not statements of historical facts maybe deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words outlook, beliefs, anticipates, plans, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
You are cautioned that these statements may be affected by important factors set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in our latest earnings release. As a result, actual operations or results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This call also includes various non-GAAP financial measures. The disclosures related to such non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our 2013 third quarter earnings release that we filed with the SEC this morning before the opening of the market.
With that said, I'll turn the call over to Jack Lipinski, our Chief Executive Officer. Jack?
John Lipinski
Thank you, Jay, and thank you all for joining us. This morning we released our third quarter's earnings and declared our third quarter's distribution of $0.30 per common unit. The third quarter's distribution will be paid on November 18 to unitholders on record of November 11. So far this year we've declared $3.23 in distributions to our unitholders.
In the third quarter 2013, we reported a consolidated net income of $86 million as compared to $318.6 million a year ago. Our 2013 third quarter consolidated adjusted EBITDA was $33.9 million as compared to $447.1 million a year ago.
Impacting our third quarter results were reduced crack spreads, weakened product basis, significantly tightened crude differentials, and absolutely and most importantly, the downtime associated with cat cracker at our Coffeyville refinery.
As you recall from our last earnings call on July 17, we had to take down our cat cracker at Coffeyville due to a failure of a major piece of equipment. The unit was back to full operating rates on September 11. Due to this outage, Coffeyville ran only about 79,400 barrels a day of crude for the quarter.
Wynnewood on the other hand ran approximately 81,300 barrels a day of crude, resulting in a total crude throughput of approximately 160,700 barrels a day. In the third quarter of 2013, our realized refining margin adjusted for FIFO was $8.21 per barrel and that compares to $33.44 a barrel in the same quarter last year.
Partially driving this decrease was the PADD II Group 3 2-1-1 product basis. The group averaged a negative $0.39 per barrel product basis, and look at that as what we actually realized compared to the mercantile stream, as compared to a positive $3.87 per barrel product basis in the same quarter of last year.
During the third quarter, we realized lower crude discounts as compared to year ago, however, we do continue to benefit from attractively priced crudes. Our purchase crude discount, WTI for the third quarter, was $0.37 per barrel as compared to $2.76 per barrel in the third quarter of 2012.
Again, this decrease year-over-year was significantly impacted by the downtime at the cat cracker and Wynnewood, which caused us not only to run lower rates, but to run a much lighter and sweeter crude slate and significantly fewer heavy, heavy sour barrels.
And just parenthetically that also increased our operating cost per barrel running at lower rates. We had cost associated with the outage itself, and so our margin capture was significantly affected by this outage. In the third quarter, we were able to process about 9,000 barrels a day of heavy sour crude as compared to 22,000 barrels a day in the same period last year.
The Western Canadian select discount to WTI averaged $22.92 in the third quarter as compared to $15.53 a year ago. Other differentials, such as Midland sweet crude versus Cushing and others were significantly tighter this year than they were last year.
Crude margins are rapidly changing. For the past couple of years, we've been focused on the Brent-WTI spread, as it's been highly correlated to the NYMEX 2-1-1 crack spread and basically benefited all refiners running WTI-related crudes. This has changed significantly. In the near term, we expect crude differentials to remain volatile, as more North American crudes produced and find their way to the Gulf Coast and East Coast markets, displacing higher-price order burn related imports.

Texas Hold 'em, Tea Party Style
The day before the Perry-Palin spectacle, in the working-class North Texas town of Cleburne, a few hundred folks assembled in the front lot of the Forrest Chevrolet dealership, situated along a butt-ugly stretch of industrial highway, waiting for hours in a cold, whipping wind, waving yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flags and cheering any mention of their newly minted hero.
Few Texans had ever heard of Debra Medina before the January 14 GOP debate. No surprise there: her only elected office has been chair of the Wharton County Republican Party. But, given the opportunity to face off with Perry and Hutchison, Medina immediately established herself as the real deal for right-wing Texans. While the senator equivocated and the governor mugged for the cameras and came across as ill informed and ill prepared, Medina--a sturdy-framed, plain-faced home schooler who runs a small medical-billing business in South Texas--dished up red meat for the Republican right in a straight-shooting and surprisingly confident manner that made her a folk hero overnight.
A debate panelist, noting that Medina was known for carrying a handgun in her car, asked her if she also carried it into the grocery store when she went shopping. "I'd like to, but I don't," Medina responded. When Perry nervously evaded a question about what federal programs he'd like to nullify, Medina said matter-of-factly that she would start with healthcare reform if it passed. Throughout the debate, she offered a simple but consistent message, oft-repeated: "restoring true private property rights and gun ownership."
Medina immediately shot into double digits in the polls. It didn't hurt a bit when she subsequently characterized Perry as a "jumpy, fidgety frat boy" or when, before the second debate, she issued a press release calling the governor's claims of fiscal responsibility "bullshit." When she gave another poised, pointed performance in the second (and final) debate, Medina began to edge toward Hutchison in the polls.
The third-wheel campaign has clearly benefited from Perry's and Hutchison's expensive crossfire of attack ads. "She's telling all of Texas how bad he is, and he's telling all of Texas how bad she is," Medina says. "And I'm going, Yeah, they're right. They're both bad."
Medina's platform is as thin as her political experience. But in the tea party universe, there's nothing so appealing as someone who's never held office--and never had to grapple with, or vote on, complicated issues that don't align perfectly with a straight-up ideology. Medina's answer to almost every problem is automatic: leave it to the free market. At a Dallas forum on the first Saturday in February, before she made the journey to Cleburne, Medina was asked what she'd do to improve the state's wretched public schools. Easy: "We have to have the courage, I think, to tear down the sacred walls that we've erected around the public school monopoly and force competition into that."
And what about her proposal to replace property taxes with sales taxes, another audience member asked. Wouldn't that hurt lower-income folks? "Well, everything is regressive," Medina answered. Food and medicine, she suggested, might be exempted to avoid "creating a taxing structure that is oppressive."
All of which, in the twisted world of tea party Texans, makes her a populist. And while Perry's populism is transparently calculated, and Hutchison's is nonexistent, Medina speaks straight to the guts of disaffected Republicans.
At the Chevrolet lot in Cleburne, she showed how it's done. If "we get government off the backs of Texans," Medina said, "we're not gonna have an economic crisis. We're not gonna have an energy crisis. We're not gonna have an immigration crisis."
"Do not allow the seeds of fear and doubt to take root in your life," Medina told the cheering guns-and-camo crowd. "This is a time unlike any other time in our history, where we're gonna stand up and accomplish a revolution without shedding a drop of blood." Unless, of course, bloodshed becomes necessary.
Medina also has an independent streak that alternately perplexes and delights her fans. She supports a moratorium on death sentences in Texas. She talks at length about her disgust with the border wall running through South Texas, which "does nothing but consume private property and waste resources." She speaks passionately about bringing her husband's fellow Hispanics into the Republican fold, saying that Perry's failure to do so "almost makes me cry."
The occasional deviations from Republican orthodoxy don't appear to bother Medina's fans. Her lack of poll-tested positions is what draws them to her. "It's that sense of honesty," says Antoinette Walker of Dallas. "Don't tell us everything is roses," Walker says. "If somebody says it's all nice, and this is the best state--it's a lie. It's a lie."
While Perry will likely withstand Medina's challenge, her candidacy is shifting the Texas GOP even further right. But the state as a whole is moving in the opposite direction, thanks largely to demographic shifts. While John McCain carried Texas in 2008, the State House of Representatives--which had gone whole-hog Republican earlier in the decade--was nearly recaptured by Democrats, who now dominate the state's fast-growing, rapidly diversifying urban areas. In 2010 the Republicans will probably hold on to Texas. But the internecine war among the tea party crowd is a grim omen for the party's long-term future. If Rick Perry isn't right enough for Texas Republicans, they're headed straight off an ideological cliff.

I'm not sure if I'm funny or just know a lot of movie quotes...
I'm a pretty laid back guy who enjoys spending time with friends and family, laughing, TV, music, sports, working out, Aikido (a form of martial art), and movies (in particular, movie scores). I have a pretty dry sense of humor so trying to figure out when I'm joking or serious is half the fun. I realize that you have to work for a living but at the same time, I can't pretend I'm curing cancer so I like to make sure I spend time traveling and living life than just staring at a computer screen. I'm looking for someone who will bring out the best in me and who feels that I will do the same for them.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Watching sports
Basketball, Bowling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Martial arts, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
If you watch and love Archer then we're already friends.
i do enjoy going to the gym or Aikido but I also like going to the driving range to hit some golf balls. I live in Astoria so it's easy to drive to Randall's Island - your first lesson is free. I'm a big NY Rangers fan.

Lighting Techniques Series: Intro to Studio Lighting
NYC Digital Photography Workshops
Saturday, March 30, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM (EDT)
The word studio is pretty vague. By definition, it means "an artist's workroom". Wherever we see the word photographer, more often than not, we see the word studio. Why? What is it about a studio, this "workroom" that is so important? The answer, like me aspects in photography, is control. More specifically, total and creative control of light. Our images, all of them, are no more than captured light. In the "real world", outside of the studio, we find ourselves and our photographs, subject to many elements outside of our control, a sunny day or cloudy day, daylight fluorescent bulbs or warm incandescent indoor lighting, the shade of a tree, the shadow of a building, the blinking lights of time square, etc. If we are talking about control, we are very limited, as we do not have the ability to change these conditions. In a studio however, we have total creative control. We decide if there is shade, we decide where the shadows are placed, we decide what our background will look like, we decide if there is wind, we decide where "the sun" is placed. It's all about control. We decide! In a studio, every last aspect of our photograph is our decision.
Having to make a decision about every aspect of your photograph, while allowing artistic freedom, can also be daunting. Along with this total creative control comes many more decisions however. We now must decide where to put the key light, how much fill light to use, contrast ratios, hair light ,rim light, background lights. Where do you even start? Where do place your lights? How many of them? How much power do you need? How big of a space can you get away with even? What color should the walls be? What about window light? Umbrella or softbox?
Demonstrations will be provided for all topics covered and we'll be tethered to see the results of various techniques in real time. This will be a hands on workshop and students will be encouraged to participate in using and getting familiar with the techniques and various equipment used throughout the session.
Some topics we will cover include:
Requirements: Bring your camera and external flash if you have one. Bring pen and paper to take notes.
About the Instructor:
Clifford Pickett is professional commercial photographer, event photographer and educator based in NYC. He first picked up a camera while spending a year traveling through Europe after having earned his MBA early. Like many travelers, that passion for seeing and experiencing the world is precisely what ignited the spark for photography. Clifford has spent all of his time since learning how to see and capture the world with the fresh eyes that traveling affords. He hasn't been shooting for 40 years, he hasn't been alive for 40 years. He hasn't been classically trained in the fine arts either. He is entirely self taught, through books, workshops, seminars, DVD's and real life, it is this that perhaps may be his greatest asset, the ability to relate to the amateur photographer. Not having been so far removed, it is this understanding that allows him to help his students see through the cloud of misinformation and confusion and marketing spins to find real answers to questions from those who share the same passion for the world, and need to capture and share it, that he does. Leveraging both the business and photographic skills he has developed while managing a private testing laboratory, he recently is the owner of a photography company specializing in the construction industry and a commercial video production company. His corporate clients include Estée Lauder, Sephora and Clinique.

ALGODONES, N.M. -- A Sandoval County deputy shot a teenager after the boy pointed his rifle at deputies in an Algodones neighborhood last week, according to New Mexico State Police.
Sgt. Damyan Brown confirmed the person shot in the incident was 17 years old.
State police said the teenager was under the influence of alcohol when he took a high-powered rifle with a scope out into the streets on Aug. 7. Investigators said he also pointed the rifle at unarmed residents.
Deputies at the scene tried talking to the teen, but state police said he pointed his gun at them, leading a deputy to shoot him two times.
The teen is currently listed in stable condition at UNM Hospital.
Last week, a family friend told KOB the teen was upset after losing his job. She said the family had just returned from a camping trip when the shooting happened. She also said the rifle belonged to the teen because he uses it to hunt.

Cadence is phrasing, rhythm, and flow.
Think about music ... melody and rhythm are composed to end and begin phrases, sections, and even movements.
Writing ... words and phrases flow in an almost musical cadence.
Speaking ... the modulation of the voice, slightly falling in pitch at times.
Dance ... there is beat, rhythm, and measures.
And even our work (and life) ... instead of allowing things to randomly happen to us, we can create cadence.
Flow. Rhythm. Momentum. Creative cadence is living and working with flow and beauty. It's an art form.Continue

As we move forward in our life and work, we discover those areas and activities where we are most energized and experience the greatest joy.
Take a look at the graphic I put together on the right … the golden arrow is a pathway – our quest to move towards our destiny with accuracy.
The line represents our exploring and experiencing different things in our questing. As we intersect with our destined pathway, we enjoy our highest energy and sense of purpose.
These experiences talk to us. This is the golden pathway we are looking for. The energy and joy we experience are clear indicators to us of our unique destiny.
There are other signs too that are speaking to us ... things like feeling alive, experiencing passion ... if we will only listen ……Continue

In the realm of physical fitness, we increase our strength and endurance by intentionally using positive stress. We increase the weight on the resistance exercise. Our body is stressed, and of course it's temporarily uncomfortable. But then our physical system adapts to a new level of strength and fitness. The same is true with endurance exercise like running.
As we achieve a higher level of physical fitness, we reap the harvest of benefits throughout our life.
Intentionally using positive stress is good for us
Here's the thing though ...
Our body adapts to that level, and if all we do is continue with the same program of exercise, we will…Continue

Old fashion selling is dead, now it's about helping your customer purchase. Excited to have you as part of our growing group.
Hi Brian,
Thank you for the friend invite and the great advice on my question in the "Write It Forward" group.
Have a tremendous day!
Hey, Brian, thanks for posting on 48days.net.
The forums are specifically a place to ask questions and get advice from folks. I'm assuming your post is looking for guidance somewhere, but since you're not asking for anything and just leaving a link to your website, we consider it spam.
To avoid being deleted in the future, please remember the forums are a place to ask honest questions and get guidance from your peers. If everyone was doing that, the forums would be an awfully boring place, filled with links to member's websites.
I'd love to see a blog post here from you, perhaps expanding on something already on your website.

As much as I hate the prospect of having to see Cruz dominate Faber again in another fight, I have to say I am enjoying watching him out Alpha Faber at every turn in this seasons Ultimate Fighter. Cruz pretty much had the fight won anyway just by being better than Faber but with all thats happened on the show I wouldn't be surpised if Cruz finishes faber in the first round in their rematch. He not only has the physiacal edge now but also the mental edge.

Somebody needs to screencap the poster of Dominick after they "Eddie Munster'd" it on TUF, along with that jugular quote. :)
3/25/12 4:34 AM by Van City 604
Personally, I think it's a refreshing change to see the game played like this, and it makes for a much more exciting 1st round of fights, IMO. Eventually Dana will pick the match ups, so why not play it like this while u have the control. He's kind of embarrassing Faber with this strategy, I love it.
3/24/12 11:32 PM by goku
It's actually a very smart strategy. Instead of matching your strong guys against their weak guys with their strong guys fighting your weak guys he is picking the best possible matchups to take out their strong guys. Once they get later into the season Dana picks the matchup so they lose that control.

Members of the Adopt-a-Horse program, who have rehabilitated and found homes for more than 100 horses since 2007, accept only neglected and abused horses seized by Clark County Animal Control.
But the nonprofit organization recently made an exception, taking in Snickers and Sweetie Pie, two of 89 horses seized last year from a Spokane-area farm.
A felony warrant has been issued for the property's owner, Janice Long, according to Spokane County Superior Court records. Long also uses the last name Hickerson.
Pat Brown, a coordinator for Adopt-a-Horse, said the case was unusual enough to merit an exception.
"We wanted to help out another county that was overwhelmed by horses," Brown said.
She said Adopt-a-Horse took only two horses, because members never want to have more than 12 to 15 horses at a time. The group currently has five horses, including Snickers and Sweetie Pie, and Brown said volunteers wanted to keep spaces available for local horses.
"Winter is the worst time," she said. A lot of owners rely on nice spring and summer grass for their horses, she said, and when winter comes "they aren't prepared for the costs of a horse. They are very expensive animals, and they are high maintenance."
Brown estimates that it costs at least $1,800 to $2,000 a year to feed and care for a healthy horse, not counting additional medical expenses.
For a rescue group that relies on donations and the occasional grant, a case like this illustrates the expense of horses and difficulty finding homes for animals that have been abused, Brown said. Sponsored by the Clark County Executive Horse Council, the group solicits financial donations on its website (www.adoptahorseprogram.org.) It also accepts in-kind donations, such as used tack that can be resold.
In December, the Board of Spokane County Commissioners authorized an additional $25,000 payment to the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service to help cover costs in the Long case, according to The Spokesman-Review. The newspaper reported that SCRAPS Director Nancy Hill told commissioners the seizure of 63 horses on Nov. 15 from Long's property could cost her department as much as $60,000, which comes on top of $30,000 spent following a July 20 raid on Long's property that netted 26 horses.
Hill cited cold weather and veterinarian costs as reasons she needed the extra money, and commissioners granted the request on the grounds she explore the possibility of putting a lien on the property and seizing assets, according to The Spokesman-Review.
Only eight of the horses remain in the care of SCRAPS. The rest have been adopted or placed in foster care or with other rescue groups, said DeAnna Woolston, media coordinator for Adopt-a-Horse.
Brown said the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gave Adopt-a-Horse $500 each for taking Snickers and Sweetie Pie. The ASPCA also gave $5,000 to SCRAPS to help cover expenses, according to the organization's website. It said the horses were emaciated, dehydrated and had no access to "acceptable" food or water.
Agencies in Maryland, Kansas and Colorado offered to help care for the horses, as well as foster groups in Washington.
The two horses arrived in Camas on Friday. While Sweetie Pie went to a trainer's home in Yacolt, Snickers stayed at the Cantera Equestrian Center, which Julie Kennedy and two business partners opened Oct. 1.
The 40-acre property now has 21 horses, Kennedy said Monday at the equestrian center, where most horses are used for riding lessons and pony parties.
Snickers, whom Kennedy estimated to be 5 years old, will soon be examined by a veterinarian. The mare may be pregnant, Kennedy said, and needs her hooves cared for, plus vaccines.
"They need a complete overhaul," she said of Snickers and Sweetie Pie.
She said the horses have not been trained, and for the first few days Snickers was by herself. On Monday Kennedy put Snickers in a paddock with Jazzy, a low-key horse that gave Snickers her space.
Training will take at least five days a week, Kennedy said. But she was encouraged that Snickers allowed Kennedy to brush her, when a day earlier she didn't want to be touched.
"You have to move really slowly with her, or she goes away," Kennedy said. "Yesterday, it took 10 minutes to catch her."
She said Snickers isn't terribly underweight but needs to gain muscle.
"She was one of the mares that was in better condition," she said. Snickers will stay at Kennedy's equestrian center for four weeks.
"I think she has a really good shot of being rehabilitated because she's so friendly and curious," she said. "She's going to train quickly, I think."
Turning to Snickers, who only occasionally jerked away while she was being brushed, Kennedy said, "What a good girl you are."
Kennedy said she's confident the group will find a loving home for Snickers, as homes have been found for 107 horses since the group began seven years ago.
Brown said the program has had as many as 22 horses at once, and its annual budget has ranged from $14,000 to $25,000.
There are five horses receiving care at this time.
In addition to Snickers, Cantera is home to another Adopt-a-Horse. Diesel is a draft horse who needs an $800 eye surgery and to put on another 400 pounds before he's ready to find a permanent home.
The group doesn't get any money from Clark County, even though Clark County Animal Control relies on it to take horses in abuse cases.
The department receives more than 100 calls about horses a year. An estimated 35,000 horses live in Clark County, Brown said.
Ripley's Horse Aid Foundation offers vouchers for feed and veterinary care that are distributed by animal control officers. The Skagit County-based group used to receive $5,000 a year from the county but was the victim of budget cuts in 2012.

After adopting a little boy in Ethiopia we will have a layover in Khartoum on our way back to the US. Is this a good idea or bad idea? Not having traveled to that part of the world I wasn't sure if I was making too much of this or if I should try and find another route home.

Congratulations on your adoption. What a lucky little boy.
I've never been to Sudan or Ethiopia, but I'd pick another airport if possible.

What flight is this? One flight that comes to mind that stops in Khartoum is the Kenya Airways Nairobi-Cairo flight. On this flight continuing passengers are not allowed to deplane at KRT.

Congratulations on the new addition to your family.
I flew to Ethiopia earlier this year on KLM. There was a brief layover in Khartoum, but passengers continuing to Addis did not get off the plane. If your flight is on KLM or Lufthansa, I wouldn't worry about the layover in Khartoum as you just stay on the plane.
Atravelynn: this is a side note that I hope does not seem inapporpriate, and I know that your good wishes are well intentioned. But I just thought I would mention that I have heard from many adoptive parents, and adoptee children, that there is a lot of sensitivity regarding the "what a lucky child to have been saved from a life in a 3rd world country...." type of comment....
Report Abuse
Any adopted child who finds a loving home is a lucky child no matter where she or she comes from.
Report Abuse
Tamiandoto is lucky too, for that matter.
But none of this good luck talk is really answering the question.
Report Abuse
Thanks everyone for well wishes--we feel truly blessed to have him as part of our family. This is actually a Ethiopian Air Addis-Cairo flight that is only in Khartoum for 45 min. So I wasn't sure if we would even be getting off the plane. I know I am sort of piecing this trip together but I am saving about $2000 in the end. With that said, I don't want to be taking any risks either...
Report Abuse
You could confirm with the airline, but it sounds like you will not be getting off the plane during your layover. In which case, I would not have any worries about your flight, especially given the substantial cost savings.

I've had a short layover in Khartoum twice, and like crusinred, we didn't deplane either. It was like any other layover (uneventful...) I really wouldn't worry about it -- save the money, and congrats and good luck! I was on a Delta or AirFrance flight (I can't remember which) and they stop in Khartoum also en route to Ethiopia (or at least they did when I flew.)

Many cities in the United States have seen a temporary economic boost from the discovery of gold. Seattle, however, capitalized on the discovery of gold in a nearby location. When the 1897 discovery of gold in Alaska sparked the Klondike Gold Rush, Seattle merchants quickly moved to present the city as a center for supplies and transportation.
Seattle's population doubled in ten years. The transformation from a timber town into a shipping center had begun, and the city soon became the economic heart of the region.

Manchester United latest: Angel Di Maria move no closer as Juan Mata emerges as Louis van Gaal's favoured No 10 as prospect of signing
The Spanish playmaker signed from Chelsea has made a big impression on the new Manchester United manager and can expect to play a key role in the season ahead
Ian Herbert
Ian Herbert is Chief Sportswriter at The Independent.
Monday 28 July 2014
Louis van Gaal is understood to be deeply impressed by Juan Mata's football intelligence and technical ability and has made him his first choice No 10 for Manchester United.
Suggestions that the prospects of an Angel Di Maria move to United have improved are wide of the mark, with the club having no sense that his mooted transfer to PSG is in trouble.
But Mata has emerged as the foremost creative option. The Spaniard's role at the club had seemed uncertain ever since he moved there last January and was promptly located on the right by David Moyes for his debut at Stoke City. It was in greater doubt when Ryan Giggs omitted him from the first line up of his own four games at the helm. Mata's performance from the bench on that occasion, against Norwich City, underlined his professionalism.

Di Maria to choose between United and PSG
Mata's positive personality is of a kind that has always appealed to Van Gaal, who considers him to be a greater asset to United in the same position Rafael Benitez deployed him in, during his spell at Chelsea during the 2012/13 season. Mata will be the nexus of the fast, possession based football Van Gaal will look to take into next season. His contribution in the 3-2 win over AS Roma on Saturday was less substantial than in the 7-0 win over LA Galaxy – Mata later cited a dry pitch which made it play slow – though the way he took down Wayne Rooney's sublime 30-yard pass with his left foot and despatching it in off the post with his right left the Dutch manager discussing the football brains of both players.
Angel Di Maria is among Manchester United's transfer targets
As encouraging for Van Gaal as Mata's is, his interaction and obvious affinity with his compatriot Ander Herrera had been less expected. Herrera's ability intuitively to shift the ball fast and intricately created the penalty which Rooney converted for United's third in 31C temperatures here.
The connection between Mata and Herrera goes back ten years - "he is a good guy; my friend and we have known each other since we were 15," Mata said - though their combined roles in the 2011 Spain Under-21 team which demoralised Switzerland to take the Under-21 European Championship cemented the relationship. Herrera scored that night but his link-up play with Thiago Alcantara and Mata was fundamental. Only the presence of Xavi and Xabi Alonso has prevented Herrera stepping up to Vicente del Bosque's first team. His part in the two halves of football he played last week suggests that United's decision to hold out for a £5m better deal last year was ill-advised.
Herrera has impressed more than many had expected in United's two tour games, demonstrating that he can comfortably operate slightly deeper, building the play and freeing up the No 10 role for Mata. He has that vision to know where his pass is going before he receives the ball that Van Gaal is looking for and has looked a tougher prospect than Mata, capable also of breaking up play. He is a tough character, too.

Smalling not faze by formation switch
The challenge will be for Danny Welbeck to maintain his part in the United front three. He has been sharp on this tour but Robin van Persie will walk back into the place Welbeck is holding. Tom Cleverley's frustration at his own struggle to make an impression on Van Gaal at the Mile High Stadium seemed evident. It is three years since his pre-season performance against Barcelona in Washington DC. His career trajectory has changed.
Louis van Gaal during United's 7-0 victory over LA Galaxy
"I think I can be [van Gaal's] type of player," Cleverley said at the weekend. "I have to show that in training and most importantly in the games. I think there is a place for me. I have to prove that." Early days, but the player who needs a change of fortune after the most difficult year imaginable has not yet found one.
Mata is not the type of individual to pour scorn on a previous manager but there was no doubting his delight in the decisiveness of Van Gaal. "We feel the manager is a great manager who has brought a strong mentality," he said. "As a player you want a coach like this, always demanding more and to play better and try to win the games earlier or in a different way." The opposition gets tougher this week – Inter Milan in Washington and Real Madrid in Ann Arbor, near Detroit. Van Gaal may be about to learn who else he can believe in.

Climate Change: Extreme Weather, Insurance Companies, and Taxpayers [VIDEO]
This NRDC video discusses the costs of extreme weather events, which in 2012 totaled one percent of the nation's gross domestic product. Insurance companies are "under water" in more ways than one and the US taxpayer ended up paying what is essentially a "climate disruption" of 2.7 percent more than the total collected in sales taxes for 2012.

William Randolph Hearst : The Later Years, 1911-1951: The Later Years, 1911-1951
Oxford University Press, USA, Mar 22, 2007 - History - 352 pages
William Randolph Hearst was a figure of Shakespearean proportions, a man of huge ambition, inflexible will, and inexhaustible energy. He revolutionized the newspaper industry in America, becoming the most powerful media mogul the world had ever seen, and in the process earned himself the title of "most hated man in America" on four different occasions. Now in the second volume of this sweeping biography, Ben Procter gives readers a vivid portrait of the final 40 years of Hearst's life. Drawing on previously unavailable letters and manuscripts, and quoting generously from Hearst's own editorials, Procter covers all aspects of Hearst's career: his journalistic innovations, his impassioned patriotism, his fierce belief in "Government by Newspaper," his frustrated political aspirations, profligate spending and voracious art collecting, the building of his castle at San Simeon, and his tumultuous Hollywood years. The book offers new insight into Hearst's bitter and highly public quarrels with Al Smith (who referred to Hearst papers as "Mudgutter Gazettes") and FDR (whose New Deal Hearst dubbed the "Raw Deal"); his 30-year affair with the actress Marion Davies (and her own affairs with others); his political evolution from a progressive trust-buster and "America first" isolationist to an increasingly conservative and at times hysterical anti-communist. Procter also explores Hearst's ill-considered meeting with Hitler, his attempts to suppress "Citizen Kane," and his relationships with Joseph Kennedy, Charles Lindbergh, Louis B. Meyer, and many other major figures of his time. As Life magazine noted, Hearst newspapers were a "one-man fireworks display"--sensational, controversial, informative, and always entertaining. In Ben Procter's fascinating biography, Hearst shines forth in all his eccentric and egocentric glory.

Now That it's Finally Real, My Concerns About the Final Fantasy VII Remake

What do these ratings mean?
In a nutshell, this tennis game tries to reach a level of realism never seen before in a tennis game but perhaps tries too hard and falls woefully short, which detracts massively from its gameplay. It is a pity, because the first TopSpin was as close to perfection as I had seen a tennis game achieve, and I have been expecting the franchise to top that for the past 2 installments, but instead it seems to have done an about-turn at every opportunity.
Tennis Dynamics/ Realism:
The tennis itself has been slowed down to help simulate the art of making a rally, and there is no HUD in an attempt to add to the realism. This is clearly a mistake, because there is still an emphasis on timing and positioning for special shots (L for depth, R for pace) which was, in the previous versions, covered with a meter so even a novice could play every shot in the game without the ridiculously difficult learning curve this game has. Beginners will miss shot after shot, and serving especially is close to impossible to pick up. And there isn't a realistic amount of aces, and since the pace is so slow, the game compensates by simply not letting your controller respond during some important moments, for ex. your player will spasm or simply watch a serve ace him by a foot on a break point.
To continue on the L/R triggers, the most significant new addition of the game as well as its biggest gamble, when "mastered" it can work fairly well, and produce impressive results for passing shots or simply shots that put the rally in your favor. However, the fact that you have to actually take a lot of time to master it is a negative right away- for instance, someone who picks up the game and fails to hit or win with any other shot except a safe shot down the line over and over again isn't likely to be enthralled with the game. There is a "Tennis School" which takes the place of the academy, but that is simply god-awful and very unhelpful and doesn't diminish this game's ridiculously steep learning curve. Another addition/gamble is the LB/RB buttons, which are for baselining and net-approaches respectively. Because the movement of your player is so terrible, you need the help of these "speed" buttons to get to many shots and put you in a position to volley. Because they are fairly sensitive, you will be frequently wrongfooted by shots that even you could have gotten to in real life. Also pressing the RB and hitting a shot will help you follow it into the net, but also make that shot you just hit look like the ugliest approach shot ever, particularly off the forehand side, like a bad windmill.
The biggest negative of the game, in my opinion, is that the swing dynamics are simply terrible. There are a variety (5 or so) to choose from when creating your character, but unless they have ages to set up a shot they will all use a default swing, which obviously detracts from the realism if you watch these pros. All the players look stiff-backed on almost every shot, they move like zombies and don't hit realistic-looking shots. This can be particularly noticed on serve returns. TopSpin3 would have been wise to imitate the pro's swings with more realism, as seen in VT3/4, without risking the same arcade feel in those games. Even TopSpin1 had far more realistic looking swings and animations than this version, even if they were slightly fewer. There are basic irregularities that have a very unprofessional feel to it- almost every pro you face in the game has the same serve for instance. The pros don't even look or move the same as they do in real life.
"Career"- Single Player
The career mode starts off with a fairly expansive Player Creator option, but it doesn't have the photo device Fight Night has (I'll cut it some slack since Fight Night was the first one to have such a thing and came out well after this game). Also the player models you have to base your creation on are simply bizarre looking, and most of your attempts become so ugly that the only one fairly acceptable to look at looks like Elijah Wood. Accessorizing has improved in that there are many more clothes to choose from, but many significant pro outfits are missing. Most annoyingly, for these past 2 TopSpins wristbands have been suspiciously left absent. From your wardrobe, that is, a few pros will have them. This may seem like a minor omission from the outside but those very familiar with the players they are facing/using will notice it immediately.
The junior circuit seems hashed together, there isn't much to do with training removed from this game, and all the computer generated players (even in the Pro Tour) you face are pretty much a joke, from their names to appearances to even their nationalities (no offence intended, China doesn't have that many players in the top 100). Anyway, you play similar tournaments and similar crowds as you do in the Pros. It would have been a nice touch to distinguish it with Junior Grand Slams, etc.
Finishing the year as #1 means you get to (are forced to) move to the Pro Tour. TopSpin clearly lost many tournament licenses, and gone is Wimbledon, which is replaced with the "Dublin Open", which looks like a travesty, and the "London Tournament", which isn't a Slam in the game but would have been more appropriate. With the lack of authentic licensed tournaments TS3 features many fake ones, some of which are decent but most unremarkable. There is no ambience of actually being in a Grand Slam or Masters Series event, which was even there to an extent in TopSpin 2 (which was fun and arcadey but still disappointing as it didn't improve on TS1), and the crowd won't care whether you are at match point for your first Grand Slam or whether you won the first point of the first round. Additionally, Davis Cup and Masters Cup or their equivalents have simply been removed, and they were additions I truly appreciated in TopSpin 2.
After winning several Slams and tournaments that no one seems to care about, once your player ends the year as #1 he'll be forced to move again, this time to the "Legends Tour", which is a series of hashed up challenges featuring the pros in the game (apparently Nalbandian is a "legend", and Blake too if I remember correctly). And it also makes you win the 4 slams in a row. Again. Even though that's probably what you did in the Pro Circuit, as if getting a Calendar Slam was no big deal.
There is no real Coach or training or competition or stupid non-tennis related games like tennis bingo or hitting unreachable blocks to feed a stupid alligator (now THAT I appreciate very much- forcing you to play and succeed at those in VTennis is unforgivable) and the focus is on the tennis, which can be a positive or not, depending on how you look at it.
The Opponent AI is decent at higher levels, they no longer only serve in predictable patterns, but generally they can be outhit or outworked in some way. Occassionally they will be on fire, and this can make for epic tennis matches, but then again every tennis game should have that.
Once again this game is further proof that tennis games lag far behind other sports games- instant replay is very limited, the camera angle is almost only of that from the winner's perspective, and you can't save points you've played. Additionally, and I may have mentioned this before, the pro roster depth is terrible, football/basketball/pogo-stick jumping games have many more pros than tennis games. Surely tennis has the poorest top 100 of any sport yet I doubt TS or even VT even attempt to acquire their likenesses. This would definitely increase the popularity of these games all around the world, and thus the popularity of tennis as well. Atleast this one makes an effort to create fake pros unlike VT3, although the effort is deplorable. The fake pros dress bad, look bad, play bad, and are incredibly improbable. A fat Chinese serve/volleyer who makes the French Final??
The departure from TS1 is huge. In my opinion, TS1 was and still is the best tennis game ever made. It was the right balance of realistic and arcadey gameplay to make everyone happy, you could play any style of tennis, and with the exception of poor AI it was at the very least the perfect starting block for great tennis games. The main criticism of TS1 (again, besides the AI) was the risk shot, which was deemed too fast to be realistic. To fix this, there was no need to drastically change the game- the pace, the shot/swing dynamics, the movement etc. Instead that's what they did, and while it may please some people who THINK that's how tennis is played, the reality is it loses many fans who would obviously prefer the faster paced and more fun TS1. This game could have been drastically improved simply with an increase in the pace of play and more variety/realism in the animations.
The Good/Bad
+ Good graphics
- But not up to the standard of other sports games like Fight Night or FIFA or Pro Evo Soccer
- Also Strange cartoony coloring
+ Increased emphasis on rallies
+ Increased emphasis on actual tennis matches in career mode, and not stupid useless games (only a problem if you are forced to play them)
- Bad swing dynamics make for unrealistic motions and an unrealistic feel
- Career Mode lacks the epic feel a grand slam should have
- Masters Cup and Davis Cup are gone
+/- Sponsor/Coach gone
+ Additional Camera angles
- No ability to save replays (a must in sports games), plus replays are far too short
- Still limited in camera usage, can't view from opposite side if your character is on the closer side (you'll understand if you play it)
- Lack of pros/ decent pros/ current pros
- Lack of realism in regards to pros the game actually has
+/- - - R/L Triggers, RB/LB Buttons
+ Can work well
- But not often enough
- Makes the game a nightmare to learn how to play
- Makes decent shots that every pro can hit far too difficult to master
- Makes (good) serving far too difficult
- Not the definitive tennis game despite how unique it is
