The bungalow was spacious and clean, however dark and a lot of moquitos on the porch. The resort has a great location at the beach.
Reservation service:
The reservation and the change of reservation via Sawadee was smooth. Never the less I have to complain about the lack of information about the extra charge the hotels debit for paying with credit card. This should absolutley be clarified during the booking process.

RI set to get 4G wireless service
Sprint/Clearwire to launch before Verizon, AT&T
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Sprint Nextel and partner Clearwire Corp. are preparing to launch their fourth-generation wireless network in the Providence area soon, Eyewitness News has learned.
In recent months, the two companies have sought approvals from cities and towns including North Providence and West Warwick to put up new wireless antennas or add to existing ones, according to municipal records.
Clearwire has also posted a job opening on RINexus.com, the info-tech and digital media website run by the R.I. Economic Development Corporation, saying "Providence is poised to be the next market to launch" the 4G network.
Sprint has owned 51 percent of Clearwire , whose other investors include Comcast and Google, since the two companies merged their 4G network projects in 2008.
Clearwire sells wireless Internet service under its own brands, Clear and Rover , separately from Sprint's cell phone service. It will compete with wired broadband services sold by Cox and Verizon, as well as other wireless broadband providers like Verizon and AT&T.
Adam Townsend, the local manager for Clear, confirmed in an e-mail that the company has been preparing to launch its network in Providence but declined to specify when it would become available.
Clearwire had planned to introduce its 4G network in Providence last year, but the rollout was delayed by the recession.
Sprint introduced the first 4G cell phone for use in the U.S., the Evo from HTC, in July. The company said the new network is 10 times faster than current third-generation, or 3G, networks.
Although Sprint and Clearwire share the same 4G network, Sprint does not yet offer its phone customers 4G service in all the areas where Clear is available. A spokesman for Sprint did not return an e-mail asking when it would offer 4G in Providence.
Clearwire says it expects to spend roughly $3 billion building out its 4G network this year and should have coverage available to up to 120 million Americans by Dec. 31. Clear is currently available in 49 markets nationwide.
Verizon plans to begin rolling out its own 4G network later this year, and AT&T has said its network will debut in 2011. They will use a 4G technology called LTE, short for Long-Term Evolution, while Clearwire uses a technology called WiMax.
A local company that offers WiMax service is Middletown-based Towerstream , which sells 4G wireless services to businesses in 11 markets nationwide including Providence, Boston, New York and San Francisco.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly said Towerstream is based in Portsmouth.

On Sep 9, we upgraded our recommendation on Big Lots, Inc. (BIG - Analyst Report), the broad-line closeout retailer in the United States, to Neutral from Underperform, following better-than-expected second-quarter fiscal 2013 bottom-line results. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Why the Upgrade?
Big Lots reported second-quarter consolidated adjusted earnings of 31 cents a share that comfortably surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 25 cents and came above management's earlier guidance of 17 cents to 27 cents.
We believe Big Lots' closeout format provides it an edge over traditional discount retailers as it offers merchandise assortments to customers at very lower prices. The company buys brand merchandise at lower costs from vendors who have excess inventory and resort to a fire sale of their goods, or have higher sales returns or discontinued products.
However, the year-over-year decline of 13.9% in the quarterly earnings paints a dull picture despite stronger-than-anticipated results. Moreover, net sales portrayed an unimpressive growth of 0.6% and fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
Consequently, for the second time management took a conservative stance and lowered the sales and earnings outlook.
On a consolidated basis, Big Lots expects adjusted earnings in the range of $2.80 to $3.05 per share for fiscal 2013, down from its earlier guidance of $2.87 to $3.12 per share. Net sales are expected to remain flat or increase by 1%. Previously, the company forecasted net sales to increase in the range of 1% to 2%.
The key concerns for the company remain waning domestic comparable-store sales, sluggish sales of discretionary items in a low income consumer environment, and soft sales of the higher margin seasonal products.
However, we believe that the company could witness improving trends in the second half of fiscal 2013, given the initiatives undertaken by management such as store remodels, changes to its loyalty reward program, bringing in coolers and freezers to expand merchandises of food-related items and target food stamp recipients, "Edit to Amplify" merchandising strategy and furniture financing program. Moreover, Canadian operations could prove a catalyst in driving future results.
Thus, the pros and cons exhibited in the stock fairly support our unbiased view on the stock.
Other Stocks to Consider
Until any further upward revision in the Zacks Rank of Big Lots, the other stocks worth considering in the retail sector include Citi Trends, Inc. (CTRN - Analyst Report), Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (FBHS - Snapshot Report) and Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (LL - Snapshot Report), all sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Peace on LoC must for talks to move forward: India
New York, Sep 29 : India Sunday told Pakistan that peace on the Line of Control had to be a precondition to moving forward with bilateral talks.
Addressing media persons after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif held their first meeting here, National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon said the meeting had helped both sides "have some amount of understanding of how to move forward".
"We strongly raised the issue of cross-border terrorism, and said that peace on the LoC (in Jammu and Kashmir) has to be a precondition for normalisation of the relationship," he said.
"My impression from the meeting was that it was useful. We need to work hard in the next few months to take it forward," said Menon.
"Today's meeting dealt with the relationship as it is today... we had to deal with what is overwhelmingly happening on the Line of Control... we dealt with the issue of getting it out of the way," he said to a question.
He said both prime ministers spoke of the desire for better relations, and the difficulties that are in the way.
Menon said Pakistan had raised the issue of violence in its Balochistan province and of India's alleged interference in Pakistan's internal affairs.
"There is no proof of any export of terror from India... wish I could say the same for the other side," said Menon to a question on India allegedly fostering terrorism in Balochistan.
The LoC that divides Jammu and Kashmir between the two countries has seen frequent violations of the 2003 ceasefire in the last few months.
On Aug 6, five Indian soldiers were killed by Pakistani armymen in Poonch on the LoC, triggering anger in India and calls for the Manmohan-Sharif talks to be called off. On Thursday, 12 people, including three Indian Army personnel, were killed in a fidayeen attack in Jammu region.

The Manchester United boss feels the striker has been unlucky during his loan spells and remains hopeful over the Italian's future despite undergoing an ankle operation
Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Manchester United striker Federico Macheda to shine, despite his loan spell with QPR being cut short.The Italian joined the west Londoners in January during Neil Warnock's reign. However, within a matter of weeks the Yorkshireman was replaced by Mark Hughes.
Unfortunately for Macheda, he was not in the Welshman's plans but he did not help matters when he was fined £15,000 by the Football Association for posting a homophobic Tweet.
He has recently returned to United for treatment on an ankle injury, ending his loan spell with QPR.
It is now the second time the 20-year-old has endured a frustrating loan spell after his stint at Sampdoria saw a changeover in managers within weeks of his arrival, but Sir Alex feels luck is not on the striker's side.
"He's so unlucky," Sir Alex told MUTV, "I have complete belief in the boy. He could be an outstanding player, but he needs football.
"We put him on loan to Sampdoria last January. He was there for two weeks, they sacked the coach and he didn't get a game.
"We put him on loan to QPR. Two weeks later they sack the coach and he didn't get a game.
"That has been really unfortunate."
However, Macheda will have to wait until next season to play again after the 70-year-old revealed the attacker is to undergo surgery.
"He has been bothered with his ankle a little bit over the last few weeks, so we have done the right thing to get an operation and hopefully he will be ready for next season," he said.
The former Lazio youth player joined United in 2007 and has made 19 appearances for the Red

text: Because Hector had Achilles' armor, Thetis (Achilles' mother) gave him a special shield and new armor to protect him in battle. Attempting to avenge the death of Patroclus, Achilles pursued Hector and engaged him in a one-on-one fight. Despite valiant efforts, Hector lost. Desecrating the remains of his enemy, Achilles dragged Hector's body behind his chariot, past the tomb of Patroclus. Priam, Hector's father, was inconsolable not only because his son was dead but because he could not give him a proper burial. Commanded by Zeus to ransom the body of his son, Priam and Hecuba (Hector's mother) surreptitiously sought out Achilles, in the night, to beg for their son's remains. Giving up his trophy, the Greek warrior himself did not have much longer to live.

Top 10 News Stories of 2012
BY Sunnivie Brydum
December 26 2012 4:00 AM ET
7. The GOP's Presidential Homophobes
Looking to rile up the base in an election year, Republican presidential candidates doubled down on their homophobic rhetoric. Rick Santorum said it's better for kids to have a father in jail than to be raised by a same-sex couple and that as president he would invalidate existing same-sex marriages. An indignant Rick Perry released an ad bemoaning the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell." The GOP ticket of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan fell into lockstep on nearly every one of each other's antigay positions: Both opposed marriage equality, opposed the repeal of DADT, vowed to keep the Defense of Marriage Act the law of the land, and opposed hate-crimes legislation. Romney said laws on job discrimination were best left to the states, and Ryan initially voted to kill the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, though he ultimately voted in favor of the as-yet unpassed legislation.

it is not cheap bikini scene for no reason, it done well, catching up atmosphere for them taking break from everyday hard works. I love it. all the color and feel.
Log In »
I agree, I especially love this anime trope when it's done like this, and I find that this anime in general has some powerful colors than even most other anime, lol.
what a bunch of iditos, colors, bikini, beach, catching up at5mosphere...
the story and chara development fucking where? so far good but a disappointing mediocre anime coming from urobutcher.
@9:51 - we were only commenting on the visuals, no one made any mention of how they felt about the story or whither they felt there was one or not
Visuals like this can do positive things to a human being's mood, is that so terrible? Or is it just that serious anime fans who want the "plot" (and not the fleshy kind) are simply happier to see the dark toned, grittier, and even sometimes devoid of color (in comparison) visuals that usually accompany the convoluted "deep" plots they so cherish?
So the director has no rights to go out and try something different from what he (or they) usually done?
Plenty of character development in this ep.
Hell, the whole point of this ep was to slow down the show a bit to allow for exactly some character development. Like showing the main protagonist trying to adjust and find a role in the very new and different society he's found, while also letting the viewers get a closer look of this society and the people living in it.
From a story POV, this ep made perfect sense, it tried to establish the side characters as actual people, with real lives, and the location as a real place/society in the minds of the viewers. Story-wise it's necessary to do that before going into the real story, else the viewers really won't feel properly when threats (and victories) are introduced later on in the story.
The fanservice is really just there to not make the ADHD short-attention span action junkies too bored during a otherwise slow episode...
Bad episode in many ways. Start was good, but then they needed to put bikini episode even in apocalyptic sci-fi story...Fuck fanservice, just fuck it to oblivion.
PC Chamber didn't go to rescue his pilot, cause a random dude said "stay"? WTF???
Ledo, who fought crazy amount of time and has military training and body, can't kick some tranny ass and just running away? WTF???
Amy has a nice ass, melty has a delicious flat chest and beautiful face, and the other one has some great tits. If only the main character could have all 3 of them.
I'm more Bellows fan
your tastes are so mediocre its sad
What are you...GAY?!
Pedo? Please these chicks are only between 3-4 years younger than myself. I hardly count as a pedo dumbass. The fact that what don't like girls just because they have a flat chest proves that your probably a faggot. I think this is more up your ally dude: http://images.sankakucomplex.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/suisei-no-gargantia-5-omake-6-468x525.jpg
All the curves you could ever want.
I loved the beach episode but I'm dropping this anime, the story is going downhill. He's being turned into a herbivore who won't care about killing aliens.
i feel this show is the upgraded version of TTGL. it even has some of the original
cast -Yoko-
I WAS wondering how they were going to pull off the Beach Service Episode without a single Beach on the Planet . .
Kairakuten supporting one of its artist.
Fellow artist Hisasi supporting fellow artist.
The hentai magazine industry is just full of love.
While some of you still whinnies about fan service thingy in this episode
I'm enjoying Lad (Lado/Rad/Rado/Red/Redo whateva) being chased by some Okama XD XD
and also my view of him has changed from emo guy to rebirth kind character
because he really wanna try to be social and that's what i like about this anime.
OMG Bellows! *fap fap fap*
If only she was in this episode more. It was mostly the younger characters.
Well, it´s probably because the story resolves against someone who have more interaction with the younger crew.
Why introduce a character that we will barely see?
True, that's the case with most anime with younger characters mixed with older ones... you see more of them with maybe a scene or two for the older characters. In this case, at least there was this...

One fan's internal struggle: When is it okay to switch allegiances?
October 4th, 2013 by Chris HumpherysFunny things happen when you grow up a sports fan.
In our misspent youth, we randomly cheer for players or teams without giving it a second thought. Those allegiances are based upon where we grew up, which teams our parents rooted for (or against) or what player took the time to give us an autograph or shake our hand. These are indelible memories that shape our very sports being.
As we mature, however, we start to see things in a different light. No longer do we follow allegiances as blindly as we did when we were still bringing our baseball gloves to the ballpark. Sure, we'll always hold a soft spot in our hearts for those experiences but eventually we start to think things through more logically as we do, or at least should do, with everything in life.
Basically, we change our minds. For whatever reason, we may no longer hold the same affinity for the team we grew up with. Maybe we relocate. Maybe the business we own, or run, is directly affected by the success or failure of the team in our new home town. Maybe we befriend players or members of the organization. Or maybe we just grow tired of the way one organization is run and become far fonder of another. Aren't we allowed to change our minds and why is there guilt involved in doing so? Or is it just me?
I'm a grown man now. I should be able to make educated decisions about who to root for.
Can you tell that I'm conflicted?
What I'm getting at here will come as a shock to those of you who have known me the longest.
I have been a Red Sox fan for as long as I can remember. I suffered through them dropping a 14-game lead to the Yankees in 1978, punctuated by a nightmarish Bucky Dent home run over the Green Monster. When Carl Yastrzemski fouled out to Gregg Nettles to end the game, and their season, I cried my eyes out while my father did his best to console me.
I lived through 1986 and even more repressed, Mookie-like memories I don't care to relive. Calvin Schiraldi should still be sending Bill Buckner Christmas cards. True Red Sox fans will know just what I'm talking about. I was going to school in Boston at the time. Walking to class after the Game Six loss felt like attending a campus-wide wake.
By the time Aaron Boone hit his post-season dinger in 2003, I was already numb, as was every long-suffering Sox fan. Losing in the most heart-breaking of fashions had become our identity.
Then came redemption: two World Series titles for a team that had been called cursed. I cried again but this time for a different reason. Ask any Sox fan what that was like and to this day, they'll get choked up.
But I no longer live in Boston and never will again. I live in Tampa and have going on five years now. I also lived here as a child when they only dreamed of having a baseball team. These days, in case you haven't noticed, the town has fielded themselves a fairly competitive squad that just happens to be in the same division as my formerly beloved Red Sox… not to mention the fact that they're squaring off in the upcoming American League Division Series.
When I first started going to "The Trop," I'd wear my weather-beaten Red Sox hat, the same kind I'd worn for over thirty years.
But times have changed and so have I.
The Sox fans you'll encounter these days feel a sense of entitlement, as if winning those two World Series magically eliminated the culture ingrained from eighty years of being also-rans. The modern Sox fan knows not what the rest of us went through: always being the underdog, only because we knew we would always find a way to lose.
Let me be clear I am not a band-wagoner. I am not jumping from team to team as they win titles. After all, the Rays haven't won one… yet. I'm no Lakers, Cowboys or Yankees fan rooting for a team on a whim. I live in Tampa and don't plan on living anywhere else. Sure the Rays have a problem drawing fans into their building. They are only in the beginning of what's bound to be some ugly negotiations regarding where to construct a new stadium. But from top to bottom, they're run the way an organization is supposed to be run. Home grown talent, sustainable payroll, creative front office, one of the best managers in the game and no players busted for inappropriate behavior of any kind.
Tampa is a team that squeezes the most out of its investment dollar, one that has to pinch every penny in the face of stiff competition that can spend without care. Moreover, they are likeable. Whereas the Red Sox were always underdogs, now are the Rays.
I recently asked good friends of mine, the Chemical Brothers (I call them that because of all the drugs they've taken in their life time) when it's okay for a sports fan to switch allegiances. They said five years. After living in a new city for five years, it's perfectly okay to start rooting for that new home team.
My home is now in Tampa. My heart is in Tampa. My family is in Tampa. I won't be living anywhere else anytime soon. So who do I have to apologize to other than myself?
The Red Sox will always hold a dear place in my heart but the time for change has come and I have to pick a side in this series.
And I have.
Go Rays!

Cool! I'm a San Francisco Giants and 49ers fan. Have been since I was old enough to have a clue… That doesn't stop me from pulling for other teams in MLB or NFL… Then a problem arose. I thought it was alright to pull for the Seattle Seahawks years back when I moved from Central California to Washington state. After all, the Seahawks were in the AFC and the Niners in the NFC… Then along comes realignment and my two favorite NFL teams end up in the same division and look what I have to contend with now! In MLB I used the same reasoning to pull for the Tampa Bay Rays since they're in the AL… I understand talk of the Rays moving is picking up steam again… All I can do is hope they stay out east!
At least you have witnessed the BoSox finally making it to the promised land having won two World Series . But was that before the switch of allegiance to the Rays ?
I made my switch from the Marlins to the Braves (2011) , but that was after two … World Series' triumphs . Now after last night's demoralizing loss to the Dodgers. I am not so sure the switch was worth it . Damn , the Braves looked bad last night and they couldn't get anything going at all .
Greed is good ! The problem remains, when is enough not enough?
WOW … I guess I saw that comming SC in things youd say to me.
So you & PJD can ring the cowbell … and I'm just grateful to have you here.
LOVE that first photo … love the SC.
Great post. Thx.
You have the same problem I have with the Angels and the Twins. I grew up on the Angles; then lived in Minnesota for 15 years and came to be a fans of theirs as well. That was compounded by the fact that I liked the Twin s as a kid because many of the great players the Angels had came from the Twins (Rod Carew and Lyman Bostock, just to name two…)
Much like a guy can have a wife and a girlfriend, guys do have more than one team. I've had a rough idea for a blog on this topic in my head for a while. Perhaps we could collaborate on such a piece. Drop me an email if you are interested.
I'm sure this decision was made over a stiff cocktail and I will not make any comments until we, as well, have discussed this over a couple of stiff cocktails. What I will say is if you need help with this adjustment, talk to Eric. He switches allegiances on a daily basis.
I can understand where you're coming from on that .
Before I cut ties in South Florida from a personal and business standpoint , I was a die hard Marlins' fan . Yet once Loria and the front office started with their web of lies and deceit that was it for me .
With regard to A Rod , it is all a scare tactic on his part and he stands no chance at all with that legal action of seeking to sue MLB . What evidence does he possess to suggest that the hierarchy is seeking to drive him lout of baseball ? He has repeatedly broken the league's rules and if asked to take the stand in his defense he will have to try and prove that the league and Tony Bosch (Biogenesis) have been lying as to the allegations against him .
Bye bye Dusty Baker . The Reds will not be extending his contract which still has a year to run .
tophatal …………….
Where do you believe Josh Freeman will end up if he clears waivers ? If he doesn't then the Bucs will still owe him the $ 8 million (remainder) left on this season's salary ?
Left you a response to my most recent piece .
I mourned the Dodgers leaving Brooklyn.
Rooted for no one team since.
Rays have earned my allegiance for the same
reasons they have yours, Chris -
God, the similarities between you and my older bro are frightening. Transplanted "Yankees", please no confusion with the Bronx Bombers, to Tampa. Roots for the Rays but not as much as the Bosox. I tried to offer him a solution to his dilemma but he wouldn't hear it. I'll repeat it to you…. Show allegiance to your POCKET. Only root for the teams you are currently betting on. How's that for living a subcultured mindset?
BTW, still lmao over friends you labeled "Chemical Brothers". I'm gonna use it some day.
Ha ha & thank you for not putting up a link & ruining a mans political future (blue wig)!
As for the name, no…that's not it. Didn't even think about that really. Has more to do w/sentimentality; that cute kid in the picture & days past…yr Grandma (a die-hard BoSox fan), yr crazy, charming, sports-fanatic, gambler Grandpa, and how I grew-up with the beautiful natural sounds of baseball. Plus precious memories with, sweet young SC at many a baseball game.
I cant break from those family ties & the team (along w/the "Miracle Mets") who brung me.
While I respect yr decision & adulthood… I'll be the one cheering for the BoSox … because that's how I roll.
Want to place a bet?
Wow bro never knew you grew up a Red Sox fan! Your right truly shocked!!
PS: U forgot to mention how some people… choose their college … based in their favorite baseball team (Red Sox).
Dear Triple SC,
You would not believe how much I have to say on this post. I've tried to write it…it's too blasted long so I deleted it.. All I'm gonna say is you and I are sure cut from the same cloth it seems, but I was born and raised in Florida. I am a Red Sox fan, but I LOVE baseball and truly "live in the moment!" I've cheered for different teams all my life, except for the Yanks-I've never cheered for them! I watch baseball, whoever's playing, not because of the team but because of baseball. That's as condensed as I can get because if I go into my family/baseball history then I'll talk the ears off of a brass monkey!I enjoyed the beginning of that 18 inning Orioles/Rays game on 9/20, but I was with a girlfriend & 2 kids who are not baseball fans and they all wanted to leave in the 7th ugh I stayed up watching the box score on my phone and texting Yaz about the game!
I'm Tropicana bound for Monday's game, but this time I'm bringing a friend who loves baseball too. We are excited about going to a postseason game, albeit in nose bleed seats. She'll be in her Rays gear and I'm wearing Red Sox.
Are you going?
Baggage with Freeman ? What about his own apothecary and pharmacy ? Xanax , Zoloft , Paxil and any other damn anti-depressant that he may well be using ?
Tell me that the Rays' ' 12 -2 loss was simply an aberration ?
My Braves put it on the Dodgers . With the series now squared at 1-1 , if they can sneak one of the two in Los Angeles . if not both , it will make for an interesting series !
Theo Epstein and the Cubs having fired Dale Sveum , are now prepared to offer Joe Girardi the vacant managerial position and make him one of the two highest paid managers in baseball . Is that $5.5 million a year now buys you ? An overrated , over-bearing and spoiled a_hole ?
Friday's MLB results
A Rod and his lawyers clearly have no idea what they are now getting themselves into . There's a way to play the "game of chicken" , and this is not one of them , that's for sure .
Latest piece Pine tar , anyone ?
tophatal ………………
The issue I have with the appeal's hearing to be presided over by Fred Horowtiz is that the player won't be asked to take the stand in his defense . It will simply his lawyers looking to weaken the presentation of the evidence possessed by MLB and how they went about obtaining it . The trial however , could very well be another can of worms altogether . What's so asinine about the issue is the very fact that Bud Selig did not seek to have a speedy hearing to begin with . How b> goddamn clueless are the members of baseball's hierarchy ?
tophatal ………..
The Browns may well take a flier on Freenan , now that they have lost Brian Hoyer for the season .
The Rays have been their own worst enemy all along and game one was further proof of that fact .
Do you believe that the Rays can now come back from an 0-2 deficit given their poor play in this series ?
Should read 0-2 deficit -
If I decided to make my home in Tampa, I might also follow the rays. However, I'm much more of a purist than you are in that I'd choose only towns where the local nine is easy to dislike. That's why it would be easy for me to move back to NY, go to Baltimore (Who can like Peter Angelos), or move to Toronto (perennial underachievers). In fact, until 2008 there was nothing about the Rays that was even remotely lovable either.
I do have a few caveats about today's Rays, however: First, Maddon is a great manager but a little enamored of the spotlight. I like the fact that Francona and Farrell seek to diffuse attention rather than attracting it. It's a little difficult to stomach his antics at times. Also, the team's willingness to pick up some sketchy characters like Yunel Escobar and Delmon Young tells me that either character doesn't play a prominent role in personnel decisions, or it's such a small market that no one pays attention to a player's rap sheet. But their talent judgement is second-to-none, especially around pitching, and the fact that they've succeeded without (in spite of?) any fan support whatsoever is commendable.
But….Go Sox!
Well it looks as if the Vikings will take a chance on Freeman . Is it that easy to earn $ 11 million in a year ? ($ 8million incl incentives with the Bucs and $ 3million now with the Vikings)
tophatal ……………………..
Well Chris , the Rays' season came to an abrupt end . So Joe Maddon doesn't believe that Shane Victorino can play or hit in the postseason ?
Is Steve Spurrier that much of an @ss jumping to the defense of Jadaveon Clowney ? And if the player believes he can be a class A one @s$hole, then so be it . But he can't blame anyone but himself , if he fails to be a top five or top ten pick in the 2014 NFL Draft . Clowney claims there was some miscommunication with him taking himself out of South Carolina's last game ? Is he kidding or what ? Collegiate athletics remains a damn joke and it always has been . And a butthole such Spurrier is now enabling this kid by coming to his defense . Oh I forgot , Steve Spurrier remains a conceited son of a ##tch anyway .
tophatal …………
Freeman is a quarterback in the NFL and Miley Cyrus , could be described as being immensely talented . Which of the two , is a statement based in fact ?
Happy College Football Day to you Triple SC:)
You said:"The Sox fans you'll encounter these days feel a sense of entitlement…"
After meeting me at the Red Sox/Rays game, I know you did not get that entitlement vibe from me. Yes, I had my broom in the purse for the sweep, but I was just so glad to be part of an exciting game. Why? Because! I AM A BASEBALL FAN- completely passionate , deliriously excited about the GAME.
So let me ask you this…Are you wearing your Red Sox hat for the ALCS?
Omg, how did you know I just smiled?
Oh believe me, it was a rough night for sure. Don't you think West's strike zone had something to do with my bearded bats not hitting? First postseason shutout for the Boston since..what did they say- 1918? And we almost saw the first combined pitcher no hitter? Man… I dreamt of Fenway last night and hopeful that's a mighty good sign for the remainder of the games
I called Ortiz's grandslam!! And Salty's rbi! Finally my bearded bats started hitting. Yay! Whew, what a game!
Nice Lakers jab. The bandwaggon is a little lighter these days thanks to Sternhoio's veto.
[…] I recently explained to you all that, no matter how difficult or even inexplicable it may have been, I have switched allegiances, moving on from my life-long, unquestioned and undying love affair with the Boston Red Sox to the team that resides in my new home town, the Tampa Bay Rays. […]
I've lived in central Florida for over going on 9 years now and I will NEVER abandon my Sox! My husband asked me a few months ago if I wanted to get season tickets next year…to the Rays. I just looked at him like he lost his mind. LOL.
He might've taken the girl out of MA, but I will never be a Rays fan!
(Even if he is slowly but surely drifting in that direction. I'm used to us backing different sports teams. Pats/Dolphins games are always a good time in our house.)

"If you don't like character voices changing DO NOT"
Many reviews talked about the narration and how the voices changed from the first books. I thought it wouldn't bother me all that much, but I was very mistaken. It's amazing how very very distracting and aggravating it is to know a character and then have thier voice just completely change. I found myself being so angry and frustrated throughout the book, that I was unable to enjoy it at all. I just wanted to be done with it and was wishing I could get my money back (this is before i found out you CAN return a book for a refund) and also I really wished I could somehow write a review to the editor of the audio book and ask them if they even listened to it or actually approved the changing of the voices? I feel like a book as high in demand as this one would have an editor that would nix this awful kind of performance before it actually got sent out. It's just so awful, I know it sounds like somthing trivial but it is seriously damaging to the enjoyment of the book. Just so awful.
1st Phil gigante. Best voice I've ever heard, and way way way better at accents and languages. I've downloaded several books just because he was the narrator. 2nd frank muller. I just like his voice.
It's already a tv series and honestly the very first time I've ever liked the show better than the book.
Seriously send a message to the narrator and editor of the series and tell them they made narrating faux paus so bad throughout the series that they really have no business in being employed doing audio books. Ugh just so so awful. Who does that?
"Great Story, Roy Dotrice Disappoints"
The first three books were far better, the former (crown of swords) best yet.
Overall the plot is thickening nicely and it seems more intense than previous versions. As the characters age, the author performs excellent / artful character development.
Changed voices, accents, and various pronunciation errors between the previous version and this one spoils the story.
For the most part; however, most of the Ice and Fire books are 30+ hours, so i prefer multiple sittings!
Voice Actors: For the love of god, if you start a book, stay the same throughout the series. I've already abandoned 3 series because of the voice actor being incapable to decide how he wants to pronounce the character names.
"No complaints"
I read some reviews that were critical of how Roy Dotrice changed his voices for some of the characters and even the way he pronounced certain names. However, I hardly noticed a difference. It could be that it's been a while since I listened to book 2 or that I'm just not that sensitive to this kind of thing. I felt I noticed a distinct difference in the voice of Aria Stark, but wrote it off to her aging and maturing as a character.
At times I wish the story would move along a bit faster.
"Not Worth the Money"
The fourth book of the series virtually abandons the main characters you have been following over the previous 3 books and introduces a myriad of NEW characters that you don't care about. Most of which have (seemingly) little impact on the storyline as you are familiar with it. With a story that already has dozens of characters to keep track of, this tactic seems like little more than stretching the story out unnecessarily.
The narration was also off-putting. Roy Dotrice, after skillfully keeping track of all those characters for the past 3 books, suddenly changes voices for nearly all the legacy characters in book 4. He also changes the pronunciation for several of the places and characters. Whoever signed off publishing this audiobook clearly didn't give it a listen.
See above.
See above.
Disappointment, and clearly convinced me I can quit reading the series without feeling any need to get the next book.
The first three books were excellent in nearly every detail. Save yourself the disappointment and don't bother.
"I Had the speed on 2X to get through it"
They spent too much on agonizing details and periphery subplots
yes!! I won't be buying the next in the series! I hear it is even worse with boring subplots, etc
"Love this series"
didn't read the book
The adventures don't get to far fetched as some fantasy epics. And though a long series the characters don't seem to repeat adventures.
Easy to listen to and follow
has a good balance of plausibility and fantasy
"would not have paid for this"
I won't repeat what every other review has said about the narrator, except to say that I totally agree with them. It is very difficult to follow the storyline. When I finished the previous book in the series, I wanted to immediately begin "A Feast for Crows." I only had 1 credit in my acoount and since I have become a member of Audible, I have rarely "paid" for a book, waiting for my credits to accumulate if needed. But I was so hooked on the series, that I bought this book without reading the reviews, not dreaming that the narration would be so below standard. I have very little time to ever sit down and read a book, however, had I read the reviews, I would have either waited for my credits to accumulate, or I would have bought the written copy of the book and read it. I have not read the reviews for the next book in this series, but did read a review for this book that referenced the sub-par narration of book 5. I will read the reviews for that book and if they mirror the ones for this book, I will not buy it. I will definitely pay for the written book.

"Many consider this the weakest link. I Disagree"
I would say both by the novel and the audio performance this series is at the top of all audio books i have enjoyed.
The cast is so ensemble it is a difficult question for this series but for this book in particular the redemption arc of Jamie Lanister is especially compelling. It's is a truly complete picture of a broken man on the precipice.
I believe Mr. Dotrice does a masterful job of weaving seamlessly through multiple characters.
All of the above.
This series truly lives up to the hype. It defines what modern fantasy/scifi is and can be. A picture of realistic humans struggling through a limitless world. Martin constantly glides between the fantastical and the realistic with such ease it is easy to lose yourself in the tale.
"What a let down...."
After the tremendous storyline and great performance by Roy Dotrice, Feast for Crows was a major disappointment. I went through the first 3 books in two weeks and have limped through this one over 5 weeks. Not only is the story rambling and could have been cleaned up to less than have the length but Roy must have not cared about the characters or even remembered the voices he used in the previous books. Very disappointing. Now on to Book 5...hope they have corrected the series or it will take me months to complete.
"Not nearly as great as the last three"
From the start this one didn't grab my attention for a long time. What did grab my attention was changes in the voice narration by Roy Dotrice. Sigh! Hopefully A Dance with Dragons will restore my faith

Much-needed rest coming for Posey

07:16 AM ET 06.14 | Help may be on the way for Buster Posey, thanks to some Giants roster moves on Thursday: Brett Pill was optioned back to Fresno and Ramon Ramirez was designated for assignment, while righty Jake Dunning and catcher Hector Sanchez were called up caught up to the team in Pittsburgh. Dunning has a 1.75 ERA in Fresno and can go multiple innings. He's 6-foot-4, 190 pounds and is a former 33rd round pick. In 36 innings, he has 31 strikeouts and 10 walks. Sanchez has struggled with injuries since being sent down, but players who have come up say he's starting to swing the bat better. He hit a deep homer the other night. The guess here is that [Posey] starts getting a few more days off or at first base. He has started 58 of 65 games, 53 of them behind the plate.
I wish the SOB rested last night he's killing me in fantasy baseball right now. (my opponent has him.)

ha. If you put all MLB players in a draft for real, I don't know that I wouldn't pick Posey first.

True, with Miguel Cabrera in the mix, but Posey is definately near the top.
Total Comments (1184)
Yadier Molina, considering he hits and the way he handles that pitching staff, should be a top 10 pick as well.

Addition to the Skyline of London is Cable Car, Launching in June!
Cable car
The first cable car for the urban transport in Britain will be starting by the end of this month in the season of Olympics. It is a confirm news from the transport of London. The time of opening has been chosen in such a way that it gets the maximum publicity.
The cable car is being started between Greenwich and the Royal Docks of distance of a half mile (that is, a kilometer) on 28th June as per the news.
The travelers will get the choice of a round trip that is a to and fro trip between Greenwich and Royal Dock or a one way trip. Another choice is there that is designed for the visitors who want to go for a watch of Olympic Park.
Even the Canary Wharf (One of the main financial centre of London consisting of many of UKs tallest buildings) and the Thames Barrier (worlds second largest movable barrier for flood) will be seen while travelling in this cable car. Therefore, this is an ultimate option for the travelers who want to see Londons some of the most attracting places in one day.
But this cable car will not be operated only for the period of Olympics but also, it will make the public transport easy in London. It will get started as a regular transport option in between 27th July and 12th August.
This is a fifty million pound project which has gone through many safety tests in the current weeks.
As per the news came from the transport for London is that, the passengers will get to use their Oyster cards to make their journey. They can pay a single fare using this Oyster card costing 3.20 pound for an adult or 1.60 pound for a child. And the fare for the travelers, who want to have a non-stop return journey, will cost 6.40 pound on Oyster card.
This cable car will not only make the access easy to the jobs in Royal Docks but also, the businessmen and the investors of the exploited area will get an easy way to reach the zone of the Royal Dock enterprise.

Overall User Rating: Mushroom Slicer ( 4.5 stars from 6 reviews )
Both my son and I are mushroom addicts which means we eat a lot of and a big variety of mushrooms. The previous cutter I used had flimsy blades which bent easily and made the job more tedious. This little tool's blades are sharp and strong, so all my mushroom are cut as soon as I take them home, and are ready for use any time.
Lydia Y. from U Specialties Inc. Posted on 11/12/2013
The size of the slicer is perfect for most mushrooms that need sliced, some of the bigger ended ones don\'t fit but it isn\'t hard to break it in half to take each piece one at a time. The design is sturdy as well as the blades ability to hold down the mushroom instead of pressing it into submission. Also works with strawberries and other small fruits/vegetables.
Jacob M. Posted on 07/04/2013
Consistency is key to even cooking and this tool allows you to train anyone to slice mushrooms quickly and efficiently! Good for the home cook too!!
Eric K. Posted on 09/18/2012
This is a great little tool at an excellent price. I was slicing portabellas with it for dehydrating and went too fast and bent the slicers but they were easily straighted with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Be patient and take your time with it and it will do the job well.
Roberta G. Posted on 02/27/2011
I frequently grill mushrooms for the burgers and grilled subway sandwiches so I needed something that would let me slice mushrooms faster then with the knife. I decided to get this slicer because it is a solid metal slicer that is sturdy enough for serious long-term use. The mushrooms slicer differs from the eggs slicer in a way that it has a solid metal blades instead of metal strings, and this makes it easy for cutting mushrooms. It is also easy to clean, which saves me time.
Alexander G. Posted on 09/02/2010
Love it! We had been using our egg slicer because I thought it would be okay. But the mushrooms always caused a good bit of tension on the slicer and I was worried the metal strings would snap. Not so with this device. Sturdy, hard-working and easy to clean. A great buy for anyone who slices mushrooms at their store.

Will hydrangias and dogwood trees grow in South Jordan?
Both hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) and flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) may survive with a little extra care in South Jordan. The common flowering hydrangea is only marginally hardy and often won't flower due to winter injury. Flowering dogwood prefers "rich" soil (containing high amounts of organic matter)with a low pH - not at all what Utah typically offers. There are other dogwoods that do very well in Utah - the red twig dogwood especially. And the oak leaf hydrangea (white flowers) grows better in a higher pH soil than the pink/blue-flowering hydrangeas. I would recommend that you find some ornamental species that are better adapted to Utah's soil and climate, because there are many with outstanding beauty and will be much easier to grow. Good gardening!
Other Questions In This Topic
- I have read that one should water infrequently and then water to penetrate 6 to 10 inches especially if one has necrotic ring spot. I live in Sandy where the top soil is only four inches and then sand and rock. Does it make sense to water 6 to 8 inches? Also does necrotic ring spot live in sandy rocky soil? Is it possible to control or eliminate the necrotic ring spot by using a service or must I excavate and if so to what extent?
- When do I spray my lawn for weeds?
- Due to the dry season, the weeds are overtaking our lawn. Besides watering, is there a weed killer I can apply when it is so hot? Is there a fertilizer or food that would help it?
- What causes holes in the trunk of my aspen tree?
- I saw a small, dark green, spruce tree planted next to the corner of a home in a nearby neighborhood. Are their dwarf varieties of this tree? It is not an dwarf Alberta Spuce- I have already verified this. If so, what are they called. I would like to find one for my yard.
- I wanted to ask your opinion on fertilizing my lawn. I have so many weeds this year that I don't know what to do. The lawn is currently being fertilized by a company that comes out every 2-3 months. I started using them at the end last summer but maybe I selected the wrong company. Could you give me a recommendation on what to do to cut down on the weeds? Should I switch to a different company or do you recommend fertilizing myself? Thanks, Ryan
- We have thousands of little green worms/caterpillars hanging from webs in our trees, eating the leaves til they are bare. What can we do to get rid of them?
- I am actually in Colorado, I am interested in the zone(s) in Eden. I am designing a landscape there and want to plant accordingly. I, also, am interested in a list of noxious plants, I'd like to avoid them. Thank You!

The Tampa Bay Lightning are starting to play like defending Stanley Cup champions.
They'll shoot for their ninth victory in 11 games when they host the league-worst St. Louis.
Tampa Bay had lost a season-high six in a row before putting together its current 8-1-1 run.
Goaltender John Grahame earned his seventh straight win Friday, making 34 saves to lead the Lightning to a 3-2 shootout win over the Chicago Blackhawks.
"Obviously (Grahame) was the biggest key," Lightning coach John Tortorella said. "Johnny is trying to stay within himself, and keep the focus that he has right now."
Grahame has stepped in nicely after Stanley Cup-winning goalie Nikolai Khabibulin signed with Chicago this past offseason. During his seven-game winning streak, Grahame appeared in another game as the Devils chased backup Sean Burke with six goals through a period and a half. In his last eight appearances, Grahame has made 174 saves for a 1.95 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage.
Martin St. Louis is riding a four-game points streak for the Lightning. The Art Ross Trophy winner from 2003-04 as the league's top scorer has 10 goals and 22 points in 26 games this season. He has not had a multi-goal game after recording eight last season.
The Blues have won three of their last 18 games, and are coming off Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the New York Islanders.
"It's just been a frustrating year," said Blues left wing Keith Tkachuk, who had a goal and an assist. "It's been a tough year and we've just got to fight through it."
Through 24 games, the Blues have scored the second-fewest goals in the league with 65 while allowing 96. Making matters worse, leading scorer Petr Cajanek was placed on injured reserve due to a groin strain and missed his first game of the season against the Islanders. He had 16 assists and 18 points.
STANDINGS (through Dec. 7): Blues - 13 points, 5th place, 27 PB, Central Division. Lightning - 33 points, 2nd place, 3 PB, Southeast Division.
TEAM LEADERS: Blues - Dean McAmmond, 9 goals; Cajanek, 16 assists and 18 points; Jamal Mayers, 45 PIM. Lightning - Vaclav Prospal and Fredrik Modin, 13 goals; Prospal and Brad Richards, 20 assists; Prospal, 33 points; Pavel Kubina, 48 PIM.
SPECIAL TEAMS (through Dec. 7): Blues - Power play: 15.2 percent (26 for 171), 24th in NHL. Penalty killing: 79.8 percent (123 for 154), 24th. Lightning - Power play: 14.2 percent (24 for 169), 28th. Penalty killing: 84.7 percent (117 for 138), 8th.
GOALTENDERS: Blues - Patrick Lalime (3-10-3, 0 SO, 3.90 GAA); Curtis Sanford (2-4-0, 1, 3.35). Lightning - Grahame (12-8-1, 1, 2.64); Burke (3-1-2, 0, 2.77).
2003-04 SEASON SERIES: Blues, 1-0-1.
LAST MEETING: Feb. 19, 2004; Blues, 4-3 OT. At St. Louis, Doug Weight scored 1:06 into overtime and Dallas Drake had three assists for the Blues.
ROAD/HOME RECORDS: Blues - 2-6-2 on the road; Lightning - 8-5-1 at home.

Thermodynamics of electron transfer and its coupling to vectorial processes in biological membranes
Biophysical Journal, Volume 32, Issue 2, 1 November 1980, Pages 791-806
H. Arata and M. Nishimura
AbstractA method is developed to express the flux of an electron transfer reaction as a function of the conjugate force, the redox potential difference, throughout the nonlinear region. The flux can be expressed by a product of the hyperbolic sine of the force, a factor ("redox-poising parameter") determined by the redox potentials of subsystem (in certain cases by local pH's and pK's of subsystems), and some constants. This is analogous to the expression of the flux of a diffusion process by the product of its force and the concentration of the diffusing species. The redox-poising parameter corresponds to the concentration term. The expression is applied to redox chains in which electron transfers are coupled to vectorial processes such as proton translocation or electric current.

Role of ATP-Hydrolysis in the Dynamics of a Single Actin Filament
Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 8, 21 April 2010, Pages 1418-1427
Padinhateeri Ranjith, Kirone Mallick, Jean-François Joanny and David Lacoste
AbstractWe study the stochastic dynamics of growth and shrinkage of single actin filaments taking into account insertion, removal, and ATP hydrolysis of subunits either according to the vectorial mechanism or to the random mechanism. In a previous work, we developed a model for a single actin or microtubule filament where hydrolysis occurred according to the vectorial mechanism: the filament could grow only from one end, and was in contact with a reservoir of monomers. Here we extend this approach in two ways—by including the dynamics of both ends and by comparing two possible mechanisms of ATP hydrolysis. Our emphasis is mainly on two possible limiting models for the mechanism of hydrolysis within a single filament, namely the vectorial or the random model. We propose a set of experiments to test the nature of the precise mechanism of hydrolysis within actin filaments.

Quantitative Analysis of Approaches to Measure Cooperative Phosphate Release in Polymerized Actin
Biophysical Journal, Volume 103, Issue 11, 5 December 2012, Pages 2369-2378
Mark M. Burnett and Anders E. Carlsson
AbstractWe use stochastic simulations that treat several experimental probes of actin dynamics to explore the extent to which phosphate dissociation in filamentous actin may be cooperative. Phosphate time-courses from polymerization and copolymerization experiments of ATP- and ADP-actin are studied, including the effects of variations in filament-number concentration as well as single-filament depolymerization time-courses. We find that highly cooperative models are consistent with the treated experimental data. We also find that some types of experiments that are believed to provide strong constraints on the cooperativity of actin hydrolysis models do not provide such constraints.

Modular organization of motor behavior in the frog's spinal cord

The complex issue of translating the planning of arm movements into muscle forces is discussed in relation to the recent discovery of structures in the spinal cord. These structures contain circuitry that, when activated, produce precisely balanced contractions in groups of muscles. These synergistic contractions generate forces that direct the limb toward an equilibrium point in space. Remarkably, the force outputs, produced by activating different spinal-cord structures, sum vectorially.
