Ray Price
Ray Price
Ray Price has covered -- and kicked up -- as much musical turf as any country singer of the postwar era. He's been lionized as the man who saved hard country when Nashville went pop, and vilified as the man who went pop when hard country was starting to call its own name with pride. Actually, he was -- and still is -- no more than a musically ambitious singer, always looking for the next challenge for a voice that could bring down roadhouse walls. Circa 1949, Price cut his first record for Bullet in Dallas. In 1951, he was picked up by Columbia, the label for which he would record for more than 20 years. After knocking around in Lefty Frizzell's camp for six months or so (his first Columbia single was a Frizzell composition) Price befriended Hank Williams. The connection brought him to the Opry and profoundly affected his singing style. After Hank died, Price starting stretching out more as a singer and arranger. His experimentation culminated in the 4/4 bass-driven "Crazy Arms," the country song of the year for 1956. The intensely rhythmic sound he discovered with "Crazy Arms" would dominate his -- and much of country in general's -- music for the next six years. To this day, people in Nashville refer to a 4/4 country shuffle as the "Ray Price beat." Heavy on fiddle, steel, and high tenor harmony, his country work from the late '50s is as lively as the rock & roll of the same era. Price tired of that sound, however, and started messing around with strings. His lush 1967 version of "Danny Boy" and his 1970 take on Kris Kristofferson's "For the Good Times" were, in their crossover way, landmark records. But few of his old fans appreciated the fact. In the three decades following "For the Good Times," Price's career was often an awkward balancing act in which twin Texas fiddles are weighed against orchestras.

Actress and activist Ashley Judd is "very serious" but hasn't made a decision yet about running for the U.S. Senate in 2014, according to a knowledgeable source.
A Democrat, Judd would challenge Sen. Mitch McConnell, the most powerful Republican in the upper chamber, for his seat in Kentucky. Judd spent part of her childhood in the Bluegrass State and graduated from the University of Kentucky.
While Judd hasn't decided, a Huffington Post report on Monday suggested that she was all but certain to run and plans to make her formal announcement in May around the Kentucky Derby.
Whether or not she's running, McConnell's campaign team and national Republicans have already gone on the offensive. Last month, it featured Judd in a web video that attacked Democrats in Kentucky for not yet fielding a serious candidate to challenge the Senate minority leader.
And when Judd spoke about public health issues at George Washington University earlier this month, a strategist at the National Republican Senatorial Committee took to Twitter to mock some of Judd's unusual comments at the event.
The actress has expressed interest in the seat and taken steps that would indicate a potential run--meeting with donors, setting up an email list on her website, boosting her profile in Kentucky. But Judd hasn't yet made any definitive statements.
The Huffington Post reported that Judd has also met with pollsters, media consultants and field organizers. And Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth of Kentucky has told reporters he believes she'll enter the ring at some point, though he says she hasn't told him of her plans.
Judd, who graduated from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government in 2010, has been active in public affairs, advocating policies aimed to target social welfare, public health and humanitarian issues.
She served as a surrogate for President Obama's campaigns in 2008 and 2012, and attended the Democratic National Committee in September as a delegate from Tennessee, where she's lived for years.

Built in 2000, Amsterdam does not have as many balcony staterooms as newer ships. There are 135 inside cabins, measuring 182 square ft., and 385 outside cabins with 197 square ft. of living space. Any stateroom with a balcony on Amsterdam is dubbed a suite. The smallest are the Verandah Suites, measuring 292 square ft., including the outdoor space. On newer ships, Holland America calls rooms of this size Deluxe Verandah Outside Staterooms instead of suites.
Premium accommodations include two 1,159-square-ft. Penthouse Verandah Suites and 50 Deluxe Verandah Suites that measure 556 square ft. Passengers in those rooms have access to the Neptune Lounge, which is staffed with a concierge who can book spa appointments and shore excursions and make reservations at the Pinnacle Grill. Twenty-three rooms on Amsterdam are wheelchair accessible.
Cabins, decked out in red and earth-tone color schemes, are warm and comfortable. The beds (a queen can convert into two twins in inside, outside and verandah suites) are cozy with a total of six pillows. Penthouse and Deluxe Verandah Suites are outfitted with king beds. All rooms have silver flat-screen LG televisions that swivel (so you can watch from the bed) and DVD players. All rooms also have plush bathrobes, and bathroom amenities are from Elemis. Every cabin also has its own temperature control.
The best value stateroom is one of the 120 Verandah Suites. Verandahs have one chaise lounge, a chair and a table that can double as a foot rest. All suites also have small refrigerators that are stocked with soda and a handful of spirits. Bathrooms have large showers, but most suites and outside staterooms have combination showers and bathtubs. Each sitting area, which can be divided from the rest of the room by a curtain, has a red leather couch, a small table and a wall console that does double-duty as a dresser and entertainment center. There is no shortage of storage space with nine drawers in the entertainment center, two night stands and two floor-to-ceiling closets.
My one complaint? The stateroom lighting is poor. The living area, complete with a large wall mirror and smaller makeup mirror, is clearly meant to serve as a second dressing area, but good luck trying to apply your mascara in such dim light.
Activities on Amsterdam kick off shortly after breakfast and continue through the evening hours. Twice a night, there are shows in the Queen's Lounge, and they range from campy versions of Vegas-style reviews (one show featured feather-heavy costumes by Bob Mackie) to sets by comedians and magicians. The two-level Queen's Lounge is equally as opulent as those Bob Mackie gowns with a red, purple and gold color scheme and a stage framed by two large female statues.
The various bars onboard have entertainment at different times. You might catch classical music in the Explorer's Lounge or singing in Rembrandt's Lounge. Both the Explorer's Lounge and the Ocean Bar are great places for pre- or post-dinner drinks (or anytime, for that matter), and you may find that other passengers are decked out in more formal attire for the evening. There is also a small wine-tasting bar tucked across from the Culinary Arts Center, but keep in mind that it has very limited hours, typically open just one hour during port days and about three hours during at-sea days. The Sports Bar, adjacent to the Casino, seemed lightly visited.
You'll undoubtedly also find yourself at the Crows Nest -- part-bar, part-lounge, part-nightclub -- high up on the Sports Deck. While it is open all day, it is busiest at night, with disc jockey-led dance parties and live music. The bar is bustling, but the real attraction is the incredible, panoramic view. Head there after dinner. Long Alaska days make the Crow's Nest a great place to watch the sun slowly set.
Before pre-dinner cocktailing or grabbing a nightcap, there are plenty of ways to fill your day onboard. The Culinary Arts Center, complete with nine rows of cushy, theater-style seats is home to cooking and drink-making demos. Demonstrations are quite popular -- one called Chocolate Lovers Indulge proved to be a standing-room-only crowd -- so plan on getting there at least ten minutes before the start time to ensure a seat.
The Center was packed with all ages (if you have kids, don't miss the awww-inducing, and non-food-related towel animal demonstration), and activities were always interactive. That said, some of the demonstrations seemed too short and a bit superficial. For example, it would have been nice to see something other than a chocolate martini made during the chocolate demo.
In addition to cooking demos, which include the opportunity to taste the chef's creations, there are a limited number of hands-on cooking classes for $29 and scrapbooking seminars for $12. The Culinary Center doubles as the Wajang Theater, where the ship showed a selection of relatively new Oscar-nominated movies, including
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Another popular activity is the Microsoft Digital Workshop. There are four or five different sessions held each day, covering everything from the basics of getting digital photos from camera to computer, as well as more intensive sessions on editing photos, setting up Web pages and creating home movies. All classes are offered free of charge.
Shore excursion options for our Alaska Explorer cruise were extensive. You'll get a 33-page document that runs through the options in port. Choices range from easy-on-the-feet guided city tours to thigh-burning, half-day hikes to thrill-inducing (and more expensive) helicopter and float-plane tours. Meeting points for excursions were well organized by the ship's staff, who were always happy to direct us to a restaurant or pub onshore that was a little off the beaten path and not overrun with other cruise ship passengers. It's worth noting that, as the Alaska cruise season heats up, ports can be quite busy.
As Amsterdam pulled away to begin my seven-night cruise to Alaska, there was no better place to watch the downtown Seattle skyline fade away than from the comfort of one of the ship's classic teak lounge chairs, glass of Champagne in hand. After all, isn't sailing on Holland America, and Amsterdam to boot, all about reveling in the storied traditions of cruising?
From a perch on the lower promenade deck, as some of the more ambitious fellow passengers walk pre-dinner laps on the open-air deck, it was obvious that HAL's long-standing oceangoing traditions have been blended with modern amenities and services. As part of its Signature of Excellence program, Holland America has committed to pouring more than a half a billion dollars into its fleet of 13 ships since 2003, upgrading staterooms, public spaces and shore excursions. Amsterdam showcases how the line has fused the old with new.
Take the ship's multi-million-dollar art and antiques collection. It can now be explored with the help of an iPod audio tour. A pre-dinner drink in the Explorer's Lounge, made all the more sweet by the music of a classical quartet, can cap an afternoon spent getting a 75-minute hot stone massage at the Greenhouse Spa or watching a cooking demonstration at the Culinary Arts Center. That couple you passed on formal night decked out in their best black-tie attire? They spent part of the day learning to blog at an onboard digital workshop.
Along with newer amenities, Amsterdam has a certain regal note. Passengers on Holland America still have the option for a set-seating dining, though open-seating is also available. The ship maintains the tradition of serving mugs of warm Dutch pea soup on deck to bundled-up, glacier-gazing travelers. And the decor in many of the public spaces is anything but understated. An ornate clock in the three-level atrium is as much a towering piece of art as it is a way to get the current time around the world. It's one of the first features you'll glimpse on the ship, and as you pass by it during your trip, it's a reminder that Holland America hasn't forgotten its roots.
Size-wise, Amsterdam, which spends summers in Alaska and the remainder of the year sailing a world cruise and extended journeys in Australia and the South Pacific, is solidly in the middle of the Holland America fleet. Built in 2000, it's smaller than the line's Vista and Signature classes of ships and carries 700 fewer passengers than Eurodam, the largest ship in the lineup. Even on a full cruise, the ship rarely feels crowded, except for the lunch rush at the casual Lido Restaurant on sea days and the occasional, fast-moving line in the La Fontaine main dining room. The Sea View pool, aft of the Lido Deck, is a quiet retreat that feels like a private oasis. Sure, you won't exactly find swimsuit weather en route to Juneau, but staffers graciously offer the perfect Alaska sunbathing accessory: a red wool blanket.
Amsterdam continues to get small upgrades but is not, at this point, in line to receive the whole Signature of Excellence package. So, while it recently received Canaletto, Holland America's take on a casual Italian eatery, it will not be outfitted with spa cabins, an adults-only pool area or a new bar concept called Mix. That said, perhaps the ship doesn't even need these latest bells and whistles.
Public Rooms
As you make your way from your cabin to the various bars, restaurants and the ship's casino, you'll undoubtedly pass by the three-level atrium set with the imposing world clock. Directly off the atrium, you'll find the front desk, the shore excursion office and a store that sell passenger photos, taken throughout the week. There are also a handful of shops that offer souvenirs and jewelry. Sales heat up as the trip progresses, so if a shopping spree is on your agenda, hold off until the last days of the cruise.
One of the most inviting spaces on the ship is the Explorations Cafe. It is rarely crowded, though the cozy Eames-style lounge chairs lining the windows are the first seats to go. Those chairs are regularly filled with passengers engrossed in books and looking like they weren't going anywhere anytime soon. If you need some reading material, you can check out a book from the ship's library, or you can catch up on movie-watching by borrowing a DVD. (There's no charge for suite passengers; others pay $3 per DVD.)
The cafe also has 11 computer workstations, and there is rarely a wait for a computer. Internet access runs $.75 a minute, or you can buy a package of 30 minutes for $12 or 100 minutes for $55. Keep in mind that this is Internet access via satellite, so don't expect the speed of your home cable modem or DSL line.
Holland America adds $11.50 per person, per day, to onboard accounts. The tips are shared among stewards, dining room staff and other service personnel. A 15 percent gratuity is added to bar bills. Tips for spa services, including group classes at the gym, are not included and are left up to the discretion of passengers.
As part of the Signature of Excellence initiative, Holland America revamped its kids' program with Club HAL. It caters to kids in three age groups with separate activities and even private, parent-free hangout zones for the teens. Onboard activities are free; charges are only incurred after 10 p.m. at an hourly rate of $5 per child. While Amsterdam certainly has activities (like Ping-Pong tournaments and a polar bear swim) for the younger set, the line doesn't seem to attract young families.
Club HAL Kids, for 3- to 7-year-olds, offers indoor games, puzzles and storytelling. Club HAL Tweens entertains kids, ages 8 to 12, with scavenger hunts, the ever-popular Ping-Pong matches and basketball.
Teens, ages 13 to 17, have access to The Loft, a lounge area on the Sports Deck adjacent to the basketball court. The Loft is stocked with games and computers, along with snacks and drinks. Teen-friendly activities include karaoke parties and trivia contests. There is also The Oasis, a teens' outdoor retreat, perched high on the Sky Deck and adorned with faux palm trees.
Fellow Passengers
On a recent seven-night Alaska Explorer cruise, the majority of passengers were in the 50-plus range. There were also a smattering of young families with small children as well as multi-generational groups of grown children traveling with one or both parents. According to a Holland American spokesman, passengers on Alaska cruises skew older than those on Caribbean itineraries.
Dress Code
Attire during the day is casual, and on a recent cruise to Alaska, jeans and khaki pants were standard. Days in port saw passengers in even more casual sportswear and hiking shoes. Two evenings were designated formal, and while some passengers donned cocktail dresses, gowns, tuxedos and suits, others chose to opt out of the evening code altogether and stick to jeans or khakis. The remaining evenings called for smart-casual attire. Translation: No jeans were allowed. Passengers in the Pinnacle Grill and main dining room abided by the guidelines, but more casual attire was seen in the Lido restaurant and Canaletto.
Fitness and Recreation
The Greenhouse Spa and gym is tucked just off the Lido Pool at the front of the ship. The gym, stocked with the requisite treadmills, bikes and weights also has a Pilates reformer. There are several group classes, but be warned that these take place in a small corner of the gym, and you'll see and hear all the activity of the bustling space. If you are expecting to find that peaceful place in a yoga class, you'll be disappointed. On full days at sea, there are six group exercise classes. Some, including aerobics, circuit training and a stretch class, are free while cycling, yoga and Pilates mat classes cost $12 each. You can save a few bucks by paying $30 for a series of three classes held throughout the week. Personal training is also an option at $85 for an hour private session or $150 for two people.
The Greenhouse Spa has a wide range of treatments, ranging from standard 50-minute Swedish massages to more elaborate and expensive body treatments. Prices are in line with what you might find at a resort. A 50-minute deep tissue massage came in at $129, facials ranged from $119 to $145, and a 75-minute lime and ginger body scrub and massage carried a $199 price tag. And remember, these prices don't include gratuities. There are ways to save, however. Treatments were 20 percent off on the first day, as the spa seemed eager to get those passengers in on a day when most were focused on unpacking and getting their bearings onboard.
The spa also runs a series of seminars focused on health, weight-loss and acupuncture. A morning session on the benefits of hot-stone massages on the last day of the cruise offered a 30-percent discount on the $195 price for a same-day treatment. (Discount or not, I was sold after the therapist demonstrated the proper massage technique on my forearm.) There are also spa specials offered through the week, including a series of 20-minute mini-treatments (think scalp massage, facials and an abbreviated hot-stone treatment), starting at $99 for three services. Look at the daily program for details.
Though last-minute specials are a good way to trim the cost of treatments, it's a good idea to book treatments early, especially if you are trying to book two massages at the same time, in the case of a couple or group of friends.
If you've booked a treatment, arrive early to enjoy the relaxation room. Camped out on one of the cushioned lounge chairs there before your massage, and gaze out the window. The treatment rooms are serene as well, but the spa's proximity to other, more active areas of the ship can become evident. Jams from the Crow's Nest, located directly above the spa, may start to trickle into the room. The good news is that you'll be so blissed out, you won't care.

AMA Pro Racing announced today that by 2015 it will overhaul the racing class structure and rules for the AMA Pro Road Racing series. The changes are designed to make America's premier road racing series more cost-effective, and to bring AMA Pro Road Racing inline with other national and international racing divisions. Perhaps the most important change to the racing structure, AMA Pro Racing says that the Superbike class will see incremental changes made to the technical rules package over the next two seasons "in the interest of rule commonality, performance parity, and cost containment." This likely means that AMA Pro Superbike will adopt rules similar to the rules progression seen in World Superbike.
The first of the new BMW R nineT motorcycles rolled off its assembly line today, a fact that is only newsworthy because so many motorcycle publications are struggling for content in these coming winter doldrums. It was only a month ago that we were overwhelmed with stories of new bikes debuting in Milan, and now we motorcycle journalists must scrounge around for anything lurid that is at least tangentially related to motorcycles. I offer to you perhaps the biggest development in motorcycling this year — a story that no one else has thought to discuss, until now — and it is about the BMW R nineT itself, and what it represents not only for BMW Motorrad, but also for motorcycling as a whole.
We haven't seen something from the boys at Radical Ducati in a while, so their timing with Radical Ducati Matador and the holidays seems like an early moto-related present. For the un-initiated, Radical Ducati is a small shop in Madrid, Spain that specializes in Frankensteining together custom motorcycles from the Ducati parts bin. Based around the Ducati 1198 Superbike lump, and featuring all the usual Radical Ducati parts, the Radical Ducati Matador is not only typical of the Spanish firm's gritty design practice, but also makes us nostalgic for the now deceased Ducati Streetfighter 1098 platform, which hit upon the same raw vein during its brief time in Ducati's lineup.
Seeing a Daytona-inspired 250cc sport bike concept at the 2013 EICMA show, it hasn't been a considerable amount of time since we last heard about Triumph's plans to bring a quarter-liter motorcycle to market. Set to be built at the company's production facilities in India, the Triumph Daytona 250 (as it's being called) will help bring the British brand to the hot markets of India and Southeast Asia. Caught testing via a series of "spy photos" by Motorrad in Germany, we can see that Triumph hasn't strayed far from its render preview, which itself didn't stray far from the Daytona 675. Based around a single-cylinder engine, there is little else we know about the Triumph Daytona 250.
The Voxan brand has been reborn, this time with Gildo Pastor, the billionaire Monégasque man behind the Venturi automobile project. Building off of his experience with Venturi's use of electric drivetrains, Pastor has revived the Voxan brand to bring electric motorcycles to market, thus making good on his promise in 2010 to bring an electric to market within three years. The Voxan Wattman, the company's first new model, has just broken cover at the Paris Auto Show, and the machine sports a power cruiser form factor with some eye-catching specs. At the Wattman's core is a liquid-cooled 200hp permanent magnet motor that is also good for 147 lbs•ft of torque at 6,000 rpm.
A brand better known for trotting out the same "timeless" designs each year, Suzuki seems to be finally waking up from its recession-induced slumber, and debuted two intriguing motorcycle concepts at the Tokyo Motor Show. We already showed you today more photos of the turbocharged Suzuki Recursion street bike concept (please Suzuki, build this bike), and the Japanese OEM has shown a shining for the budding electric segment as well. Using the same electric motor as the company's Suzuki E-Let's scooter, we can assume that the Extrigger is packing the same unimpressive figures of 2hp and 11 lbs•ft of torque as the E-Let, though Suzuki does say that the Extrigger weighs a paltry 137 lbs, which is alluring.
Forced-induction was the trend du jour at the Tokyo Motor Show, with Kawasaki showing off a supercharged four-cylinder engine and with Suzuki debuting its turbocharged Recursion concept. While Team Green is being tightlipped with what exactly its up to (all we know is that the supercharged motorcycle engine has been developed completely in-house), Suzuki is more keen with teasing its machine. Releasing some more photos of the Suzuki Recursion, this bike is looking like a winner to us, with its water-cooled 588cc twin-cylinder engine that features an intercooled turbocharger. Suzuki says the engine package is just shy of 100hp at 8,000 rpm, with peak torque coming in at 74 lbs•ft at 4,500 rpm. The Suzuki Recursion is also quoted as being 384 lbs dry.
You would be hard-pressed to improve upon the design of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera, as the "superlight" superbike has equal helpings of design and technical beauty. That hasn't stopped Ulfert Janssen of Gannet Design though, as the German designer has inked an interesting take on Ducait's 1199 platform, which he calls the Fluid Ducati Superleggera. Janssen's renders have some interesting elements to them, though we suspect that the Ducatisti are already sharpening their pitchforks. What do you think?
Proper road racing is a dangerous game, as the spectacle unfolds upon all of the uncertainty that comes with public roads, rather than the controlled environment of a proper closed-course racing circuit. No one goes looking for an early death, of course, but the realities of the situation are ever-present. Thankfully the 2013 Macau Grand Prix was without major incident, but we did have a close-call on the first lap between Horst Saiger and Marc Fissette. The event's photographers captured the contact and subsequent crashes with their cameras, giving us a frame-by-frame perspective into what was thankfully just a bad day at the office for these two riders.
After making the announcement that MV Agusta would return to the World Superbike Championship this year, the Italian team has announced its sole rider for the 2014 season: Claudio Corti. Seeing his spot in MotoGP with the NGM Forward taken by Aleix Espargaro, Corti returns to the WSBK paddock, and will field an MV Agusta F4RR this year with the factory-backed Yakhnich Motorsport team. Operating under the MV Agusta Reparto Corse name, the Russian-based team will field a two-rider team in the World Supersport class as well, with Frenchman Jules Cluzel returning to the lower division, after losing his seat in the Crescent Suzuki team. He will be joined by Russian rider Vladimir Leonov, as 2014 is his third season with team.

love these
Love these; they are my indoor slippers and outdoor walk the dog shoes. Sizing however is very confusing. I have an old pair which is a ladies size 6. I ordered a new pair in same size and they were huge; I had to return and order a Junior 3. What an inconvenience and I hate paying return shipping especally when Crocs changes the sizing without notice. Also, PLEASE BRING BACK THE LINERS!! They get old and funky no matter how many times you wash them. Charge more if you have to or sell them as an add-on when a customer is purchasing a pair of crocs.
Make my feet look big.
They were a bit big on me. I usually wear a size 3 (ordered the 3, but they were too big) exchanged for a size 2 which fit much better. They make my feet look huge, and lack some of the arch support that my regular crocs have. Still very comfy.

No forward angling of foot...GREAT!
These crocs allow me to stand without having my metatarsal squished down flat as I can stand with my weight just ever so slightly back, on my heels. This is also good as it means my bunions don't EVER bother me. This is fantastic. In fact, I wear crocs all the time and do not need to use orthotics at all. Also, they are warm and cozy. (I also wear summer ones) I just wish that the "button" was like the snaps on jeans and that the fleece could be removed for washing. I recommend them wholeheartedly to everyone. They have saved my life....my feet never hurt in them. And they used to hurt all the time, even with orthotics....

There are four impressive forts which were built during the 16th century by Spanish regime and reflect the notable history of this village. In the picturesque Old Town one can find interesting architectural relicts from past regimes. Along the marina there is a beautiful promenade with pretty shops, lively cafes and Italian seafood restaurants. Around the peninsula there are magnificent sandy beaches with clear, blue water.

Phil Gingrey on Welfare & PovertyRepublican Representative (GA-11) | |
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D, MD): [In developing national service over many years] we were not in the business of creating another new social program. What we were in the business of was creating a new social invention. What do I mean by that? In our country, we are known for our technological inventions. But also often overlooked, and sometimes undervalued, is our social inventions.
We created national service to let young people find opportunity to be of service and also to make an important contribution. But not all was rosy. In 2003, when I was the ranking member on the appropriations subcommittee funding national service, they created a debacle. One of their most colossal errors was that they enrolled over 20,000 volunteers and could not afford to pay for it. That is how sloppy they were in their accounting. I called them the "Enron of nonprofits."
And they worked on it. But all that is history. We are going to expand AmeriCorps activity into specialized corps. One, an education corps; another, a health futures corps; another, a veterans corps; and another called opportunity corps. These are not outside of AmeriCorps. They will be subsets because we find this is where compelling human need is and at the same time offers great opportunity for volunteers to do it.
Opponent's argument to vote No:No senators spoke against the amendment.

Amazed at the amount of moisture coming out of this little device. Can't beat it for $9. Works great at my desk.
For those worried about it running dry unattended and "burning up", just monitor it's average run time for a few days, then put it on a timer for a little less time then it's average run.Overall - -Jeff
February 14, 2013
The size of the unit works great for my office space. The description says the unit runs up to 4 hours, which I do achieve at home, but at the office, I usually get around 2 hours at a time. Perhaps the run time depends on how dry the air is. Definitely recommend this great little find!
Overall - -Love this item!!!

Bought this at bed bath and beyond purely on it's "cuteness". It was suppose to be for my husband but I love this little guy so much that I swiped it for myself. I've use it over 8 hours at a time. It's definitely worth the $20, I would probably pay more for it too.

Pro: Fantastic Product! It does lasts longer than 4 hours on one full resovior. Perfectly portable, you can even fit in in your purse if you need to. It's a little bit bigger than an apple.
Con: Like someone else reviewed, though it does not have an automatic shut off when the water is gone and if you are sleeping or sick, you may burn it up. It also doesn't specify if you can add any type of scent to the water (like Vicks) in fear it may destroy the filer. I don't want to try and risk breaking it.
Overall, great product.Overall - -Kim

This product works great! It last longer than the 4 hours it states on the product. It last me from 8PM to 6 to 8 AM. Very important to change filters and clean every two weeks. Need to order extra filters as soon as you get product. Since this is a new product. you can not buy filters on line. You must call 1-800-466-3342 to order. I highly recomment this product and think it was worth the extra trouble to order the filters. To check to see if the filters are now listed on line; put hum in the search and hit go.

cute unit - reminds me of an apple, just slightly bigger than one. Having the option of plugging into a usb port is a nice touch.
only one real con: there is no autoshutoff when the water runs out and the manual has a warning about not running it without water. I keep this at my desk and sometimes I am away and it gets 4 - 5 hours from a water fill up. what if I leave work and forget to shut it off - yikes! also, I would like to use this on my night stand, but I have to shut it off before I go to sleep otherwise it might run out of water.Overall - -Greg
Questions on Personal Ultrasonic Humidifier
- I have attempted to use this humidifier in my office at work, but it does not provide a water mist? I have tried multiple things but nothing has seemed to help???
- Perhaps the humidity level is higher than what the product produces. You may want to discuss this with Consumer Relations.
- Question asked by Ashley at 11/28/12 5:54 PM
- Do you find this answer helpful? Yes or No
- How often do I need to replace wick? If I run it M-F about 4 hrs a day when would I change it?
- There are too many variables for an answer to that question. The best suggestion would be to watch the wick. When it shows signs of being dirty or expands at the top, then replace it.

Overwhelmed by your holiday shopping list and short on time? Not to worry – here are a few tips to cut costs, stay organized and still buy presents that your friends and family will love.
1. Stick to a budget. Arrive at the dollar amount at which you feel comfortable spending and stick with it. Then, decide on cost ranges that you would pay for those on your list. Setting limits on how much you can spend per person will streamline the overall process of holiday shopping.
2. Use a gift selection website that does the picking for you. The Timex Gift Finder website, for example, lets you discover which watch styles your loved ones will crave most after you answer five short questions about their personalities. You'll also receive a coupon for $10 off two of these watches at Walmart or Target. To try the Timex Gift Finder yourself, visit www.TimexGiftFinder.com.
3. Be prepared with back-up gift cards. What if your cousin-in-law shows up to your shindig with a cute makeup set for you, but you have nothing for her? Don't let that happen by keeping a stock of extra gift cards. Walmart and Target offer a wide variety of them, so you don't have to drive from store to store.
4. Bake simple homemade treats. It's not the cost of the present that counts; it's the thought that matters. Show off your culinary skills with some heart-healthy oatmeal cookies or your delectable apple pie. If you need creative ideas, search Pinterest for mouth-watering inspiration.
5. Give to a worthwhile cause. Make a donation in the name of that friend or family member who has everything. Think about the recipient's philanthropic interests rather than just contributing to a cause that you support. Write a thoughtful card explaining what inspired you to choose this gift for an added touch.
Follow these easy tips and you'll be sure to experience stress-free holiday gifting.

The Young Communist League of South Africa is a Marxist-Leninist youth wing of the SACP.
The YCL stands for:
15 June 2012
As the Young Communist League of South Africa (YCLSA) in the province of Gauteng we would like to wish all young people in the province the best in celebrating the Youth Day, June 16. This must not only be a celebration but must also be used as an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the youth of 2012.
The challenges facing the youth of 2012 are enormous. Some of the underlying material causes, particularly the main ones, of the challenges facing the youth of 2012 are, however, the same as those of the challenges that faced the youth of 1976. In particular the economic structure of our society remains that of the system called capitalism. This system is based on the private accumulation of socially produced wealth by a tiny minority called capitalists. Capitalism involves the exploitation of the workers by the capitalists.
Production under capitalism is not carried out to meet societal needs. It is carried out to satisfy private accumulation of socially produced wealth for a few, the capitalists. Production under capitalism is organised and functions in ways including endemic crisis that create class inequality, cause conflict, poverty and unemployment. Just in terms of unemployment alone which affects mostly the youth, the situation is scary.
According to Statistics South Africa Quarterly Labour Force Survey (Quarter 1, 2012):
Yet all of these figures are calculated in narrow terms. Those who have been searching for employment and without finding it got discouraged to continue searching are excluded in the calculations. This means that the number of unemployed persons is much higher than the figures given.
The racial legacy of colonialism, whatever it type, and apartheid, also remains intact and continues to be manifested in employment, unemployment and under-employment. According to the Statistics South Africa's Labour Force Survey (Quarter 1, 2012), Africans are the worst affected by unemployment, followed by coloureds, who are followed by Indians or Asians with whites being the least affected and better off in terms employment.
The challenge for the youth of 2012 is that the majority of the unemployed are young people. According to a discussion paper titled 'Confronting youth unemployment' developed by the National Treasury (February 2011), about 3 million young people of 15 to 34 years were unemployed in December 2010 and 1.3 million were discouraged. As the National Treasury states, this suggests that at the time youth unemployment rate translated into 34.5 per cent, which represents 72 per cent of overall unemployment. Although advocating a wrong solution altogether called the youth wage subsidy, the National Treasury's discussion paper highlights the greater extent of youth unemployment:
The gender dimension of unemployment suggests that young women are the worst affected. In terms of national population groups, the colonial and apartheid racial legacy suggests that young Africans in particular and young blacks in general are the worst affected by unemployment. The colonial and apartheid legacy and the gender dimension taken together suggest that young African women in particular and young black women in general are the worst affected.
In our view as the YCLSA strategies to confront unemployment must combine with strategies to build a non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society.
Our message as the YCLSA in Gauteng is that as the youth of 2012 we must take cue from the youth of 1976. Unless as the youth we stand up on our own and collectively face up to the challenges facing us like the youth of 1976 did in fighting against apartheid colonialism it would be inconceivable to hope that our challenges will be addressed and finally resolved.
The most sustainable solution to the challenges of class inequality, poverty and unemployment is the overthrow of their underlying cause, i.e. the system of capitalism. Capitalism must be replaced with the system of socialism which is based on meeting societal needs. But while we carry out this struggle, it is clear that other immediate steps must be taken to address inequality, poverty and unemployment.
Definitely the youth wage subsidy as advocated by the National Treasury and wrongly supported by capitalist-backing organisations such as the DA is a wrong prescription to the challenge of unemployment.
Our position as the YCLSA is that the funds that the National Treasury has set aside for the youth wage subsidy must be redeployed to fund work experience training such as practical and experiential training, learnerships and apprenticeships, scare and critical skills programmes in further education and training colleges and universities.
It is our correctly held view that "jobs" preoccupation alone is not a solution to the challenge of unemployment. We strongly believe that assisting young people to set up co-operatives will go a long way in tackling not only unemployment but also class inequality and poverty.
As the YCLSA we appeal to all young people to learn from the youth of 1976 and take collective responsibility in addressing and resolving the challenges facing the youth and seizing available opportunities. As the youth of 2012 we are in a better position as compared to the youth of 1976 because apartheid has at least been defeated although it is yet to be exterminated.
Government has significantly expanded access to education, in particular since the 2009 elections more than in any period after our transition to democracy in 1994. We need to take advantage of this and mobilise young people to enrol at further education and training colleges and universities.
As the YCLSA in Gauteng we will join many organised activities including the YCLSA national rally scheduled as follows.
Date: Sunday, 17 June 2012 Time: 10:00 Venue: Ephraim Mogale Stadium, Modimolle (Limpopo) Speakers: SACP General Secretary, Blade Nzimande
