All 911 models can also be fitted with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus. It offers even sportier tuning of the engine and chassis, and delivers even greater driving pleasure as a result.
Included in the package are a digital and analogue timer, the SPORT button, a performance display and a personal memory function in Porsche Communication Management (PCM). Also – when fitted in combination with Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) – is the SPORT PLUS button, as well as an additional display on the steering wheel which indicates when the SPORT button or the Launch Control have been enabled.
When the SPORT button on the centre console is selected, the EMS SDI 3.1 engine management system enhances the engine response. A modified throttle map relates the pedal angle in the footwell to a much wider angle of opening on the throttle valve. Throttle response is significantly more immediate, and in the higher gears, a hard rev-limiter helps protect the engine under acceleration.
The Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which is standard on all S models, also switches to 'Sport' mode for harder damping and more direct steering, and, therefore, better road holding.
A hard rev-limiter is also applied in the automatic mode of the optional PDK, while gearshift points are delayed until the upper rev range. The shift times are shorter, the gear changes sportier. At low rates of deceleration – even with high engine speeds – the system initiates a swifter brake-induced downshift. In manual mode, gear changes are faster and more dynamic.
In 'Sport' mode, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised for increased longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Agility is enhanced under braking for corners with PSM enabling greater manoeuvrability under braking and exit acceleration, especially at low speeds.
For maximum dexterity, PSM can be set to standby while the car is still in 'Sport' mode. For safety, it is set to intervene automatically only when ABS assistance is required on both the front wheels.
In combination with PDK, the Sport Chrono Package Plus has two additional functions that are activated by pressing the SPORT PLUS button, to take driving to an even sportier level.
'Launch Control' is used, for example, on the track to achieve the best standing start possible – a racing start.
Launch Control is operated via the SPORT PLUS button with the 'D' or 'M' drive position selected. Whilst the driver depresses the brake pedal with the left foot, the right foot depresses the accelerator pedal to the floor. With the accelerator in the kickdown position, the system detects the driver's request for Launch Mode and revs the engine to an optimum speed of approximately 6,500 rpm. Engine torque increases and the clutch closes slightly. The message 'Launch Control' appears in the PDK display on the steering wheel. The driver now quickly releases the brake – and prepares for maximum acceleration.
The second function is the 'motorsport-derived gearshift strategy'. Using this, Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is geared up for the extremely short shift times and optimum shift points for maximum acceleration – ideal for the racetrack.
A key component of Sport Chrono Package Plus is the timer mounted on the dashboard. Porsche Communication Management has a special performance display to view, store and evaluate lap times or other driving times. It shows the total driving time, lap distance, lap number and the lap times recorded so far. You can view the current fastest lap and the remaining range until empty. Travelled distances can be recorded and benchmark times defined. The personal memory function of the Sport Chrono Package Plus can also be used to store personalised settings for a range of systems, including the orientation lighting or air conditioning.

Caso presents proclamation designating the period April 23-28 as Secretaries Week to Rosalie Licata, selected as Secretary of the Year by the Long Island Chapter of the National Secretaries Association. Taking part in ceremony is Emily Giersberg of Bethpage (r), president of chapter which sponsors annual salute to secretaries who perform important roles in commerce, business, industry and government. Baird At NY Tech For Abortion Talk William Baird, a nationally known advocate of birth control reform, will speak on "The ABC's of Abortion" at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury on-Monday, April 24. The talk will begin at 8 p.m. in the college's Gym. Baird will discuss the legal and social aspects sof the abortion issue, providing information on < New York state, city and county rulings. He will examine the regulations of other states and countries and make recommendations for specific changes in the abortion laws. Sponsored by the NYIT Student Government Association, the talk is part of a speakers series on current controversial issues arranged for the particular interest of students and the local community. Baird, who is active in the fight against the 'recent decision prohibiting local welfare departments from paying for abortions, has been an activist in the field of birth control and abortion reform for some 10 years. He was instrumental in obtaining the reversal of the Massachusetts law prohibiting the dissemination of contraceptives, and spent 34 days in a Massachusetts jail for publicly disobeying those laws. He is currently involved in a Long Island court case challanging a husband's right to determine if his wife may have an abortion. Baird stresses that he does not necessarily advocate abortion, but instead is working to establish a woman's right to control her own body. He says he is primarily acting as a catalyst between the public need and the legal restrictions on abortion and birth control. The speech is open to the public free of charge. Bethpage Tag Day Chmn. Don Juceam of Bethpage, a junior at Plainedge High School, has been named an Honorary Co- Chairman of Rainbow Tag Day, the May 12-13 county-wide fund raising endeavor by Nassau teenagers in behalf of United Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County and its Center for Living, in Roosevelt. Paul Peyser of Merrick, County Chairman of the two-day event, said the project involves the volunteer services of some 5,000 young people. Peyser praised the efforts of previous teen-age participants, adding that the public has provided unsolicited praise for "their courtesy anf pleasant approach." Pointing to the record $42,000 raised by the participants in last year's Tag Day campaign By Ann White Would you believe I was married to the president? That's President Richard M. Dixon, folks, who I worked with in several theatrical ventures, playing, his wife in a number of off-Broadway productions. To make it perfectly clear, Dixon is, in fact, actor James La Roe, a Seaford resident who just looks like Richard M. Nixon. As a Nixon look-alike, La Roe, who changed his name to Richard M. Dixon, is now on his way to a lucrative career. His tremendous drive, perseverance and outstanding acting ability join with scooped out nose and widows v peak to create a show-biz ^••phenomenon. - I recall several occasions when I met with La Roe. We encountered angry citizens who accosted him and generally let him have it as they gave vent to their opposing political view. Later, they apologized sheepishly when they were finally convinced that he was 'poor Richard' (whose white house is in Seaford, L.I., not Washington, D.C. The situation is not without its brighter side- lovely ladies sometimes wait for hours to shake his hand. This kind of adulation can be a headache, sometimes... but not, of course, when he is making professional appearances. These days requests for personal appearances are numerous and his schedule is, almost as hectic as the presidents. About two years ago, I was instrumental in arranging try-outs for La Roe at the Village Gate and The Improvisation, in New York City. After the band played "Hail to the Chief" and 'the President' came marching in, audiences would respond with respectful silence and occasional hositility. Recently. Dixon and I were commissioned to act in a documentary film, and it was 'perfectly clear' to me that he has acquired along with his amazing resemblance, many of the presidents mannerisms, particularly in the way he uses his hands to stress a point;— and the crowds love it! Richard Dixon Stresses a Point The Faking of a President There are other parallels too; like the president, La Roe is a happily married man with two daughters. His first lady, Madeline is charming, petite and quietly reassuring. Maddy, as her intimate friends call her, untiringly types scripts, answers the "hot-line" and personally checks Richard's wardrobe. In fact, she handles all the gritty details for her over-scheduled president-husband. Dixon's' manager, Murray Becker, was responsible for booking him in to benefits and banquets which led to several model assignments. Harpers , Bazaar printed a ten page fashion spread in the January, '72 issue; other advertisements and T.V. Shows followed. Under Becker's guidance, Dixon has portrayed Nixon in the film "Is There Sex After Death!" and the soon-to-be-released movie spoof "Richard". Parade magazine, Time and Newsweek have given the La Roe -Dixon metamorphosis considerable space. Feature stories have also appeared in The London Daily Express and leading periodicals throughout the world. I recently heard that photos of Dixon reached Peking Just before Nixon's much heralded trip... if Dixon could have handled chop-sticks as gracefully as the president, he undoubtedly would have added a thoroughly confusing note to the proceedings. However, it is not Dixon's intention to indulge in any satirical luxury. With his arms raised in the victory salute, he steadfastly refuses to talk politics. "I don't think the president would be offended by what I do," he said, "and 1 don't think its in good taste to make fun of the president." Man of Many Talents Although, Richard D. has appeared in various nightclubs throughout the country, (most recently at Rodney Dangerfields in N.Y.), and on popular T.V. programs such as The Johnny Carson and David Frost shows, there has been no reaction, from the 37th president- Besides his presidential profile, La Roe has many talents. A few weeks ago, for example he had the opportunity to display his dancing and singing ability on a T.V. pilot, -The John Cassidy Show. La Roe came close to joining the N.Y. Yankees in his younger days, won medals for his ice skating and skiing skills, played tootball and was a lifeguard in his college days. Apparently, Richard M. Dixon has the qualifications and determination that goes into the making of a president, and if the real president is re-elected his career will continue to soar. As for Nixon...if he loses, he may do well to double with Dixon. WAVE GETS LEAVE Dolores Day, Seaman Apprentice, U.S. Navy, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Day of Bethpage. is home on 14 days leave after completing basic training at Bainbridge. Maryland. The 1971 Bethpage High School graduate spent the first two weeks of basic training getting processed into the U S. Navy and the last eight weeks attending classes on Naval History, Naval Orientation and First-Aid. While at Bainbridge the Bethpage Seaman became a second class swimmer and also received the National Defense Medal. After her leave is over Miss "Lori" Day will go to San Diego. California.

First Aid Courses in Melbourne
Are you looking to receive first aid training the Melbourne or the surrounding areas? Perhaps you need training for your employees to meet national regulations and standards. Or maybe you just want to make sure you are certified so that you appear as an attractive job applicant to prospective employers.
Whatever the case, it is simple and easy to get fast first aid training the Melbourne area.
Why You Should Have First Aid Training
More and more first aid training is becoming a vital part of the workplace. No matter what industry you work in or in what position you are employed, first aid training is the rule much more than the exception.
Employers want to hire people they can count on to protect their assets. If that means administering lifesaving treatment on a coworker until professional medical assistance can arrive, then so be it.
And if you are a manager or business owner, it is very important for your employees to have proper first aid training. Have you considered what will happen in an emergency situation? If a natural disaster occurs at your business, how many lives could be saved just by coworkers and employees who know how to administer first aid?
Those who are trained in first aid prevent injury and save lives thousands of times each day. There are measures they can take to ensure injured persons survive their injuries and make full recoveries because of people who have first aid training.
Without that first aid training, you could lose valuable employees, through death or just because they are no longer able to work due to serious injury. That not only reflects badly on your company, but also on you as a manager.
First aid treatment is about more than the training, however. You also need to have supplies on hand to assist in the administration of first aid. This includes first aid kits, fresh water, emergency contact numbers, and flashlights. Keeping your first aid supplies well stocked ensures that your employees can handle an emergency situation when it occurs and that they can care for their coworkers if the need arises.
Find Courses in Melbourne
To find first aid courses in Melbourne and the surrounding areas you do not have to go far. You do not have to even leave the comfort of your home or office to find and book courses. You can actually find all the course information you need online.
Booking course online saves you time and money and lets you get back to your life. You can make an appointment for the time that is most convenient for you and schedule appointments for your coworkers and employees.
Finding courses online means you can see course descriptions and prices at a glance and see what courses are right for you or your employees. For first time first aid applicants, Apply First Aid is the starting course. This basic course covers the essentials of first aid and has to be retaken every so often to keep up one's certification.
For specialization in first aid or for advanced courses, you can also find CPR and Senior courses as well. Makes sure you choose the right course for your employees and get your business first aid certified today.

This book challenges Christian leaders to engage in the messy art of creating the right culture to reach our postmodern, post-Christian society. Through real stories of God's perfect work in the lives of imperfect people, you will experience the power of an authentic church community and learn how to deconstruct barriers and bring hope and healing to America's most unchurched generation.
How do we live out the message of Jesus in today's ever-changing culture?
The church is facing its greatest challenge---and its greatest opportunity---in our postmodern, post-Christian world. God is drawing thousands of spiritually curious "imperfect people" to become his church---but how are we doing at welcoming them?
No Perfect People Allowed shows you how to deconstruct the five main barriers standing between emerging generations and your church by creating the right culture. From inspiring stories of real people once far from God, to practical ideas that can be applied by any local church, this book offers a refreshing vision of the potential and power of the Body of Christ to transform lives today.
"We now are living in a post-Christian America---and that means we must be rethinking ministry through a missionary mindset. What makes this book both unique and extremely helpful is that it is filled with real-life stories of post-Christian people becoming followers of Jesus---not just statistics or data about them."
Dan Kimball, Author, The Emerging Church
'. . . John's 'get it' factor with people, lost or found, is something to behold! Reading this book filled me with optimism regarding the next generation of pastors and faith communities . . . '
Bill Hybels, Senior Pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
No Perfect People Allowed is a timely and necessary word for church leaders in a post Christian culture. John Burke serves up quite a tasty meal full of the rich nutrients that will strengthen the Body of Christ.
Randy Frazee, Senior Pastor, Pantego Bible Church; Author, The Connecting Church and Making Room for Life

Aldea has a nice atmosphere, though it seems that it's a centre for people who want to speak a lot of Spanish and unfortunately we are beginners so found it a bit difficult The staff were nice and accommodating, we got a nice room but unfortunately it was super noisy if anybody was using the outdoor spaces at night...they offered us another room that was quieter but it was a lot lower quality than our first room The breakfast wasn't great, bread and instant coffee A nice place though

SOURCE Dermalogica
CARSON, Calif., Oct. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Empowering girls globally through education is the message behind Dermalogica's nationwide support of the International Day of the Girl October 11, 2013. These efforts focus on Dermalogica's social impact arm, 'Financial Independence Through Entrepreneurship' (www.joinFITE.org), which extends educational opportunities and business microloans to women in the developing world. FITE also helps to provide girls with the skills needed to achieve financial independence as adults by supporting education, vocational training and leadership programs.

Dermalogica co-Founder and brand visionary Jane Wurwand, a member of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), attended the annual meeting in New York City and added her signature to 'The Girl Declaration'. This document, spearheaded by the United Nations Foundation and the Nike Foundation, will be presented to the United Nations on October 11, which challenges the UN to recognize that more than 250 million girls and women live in poverty worldwide, and summons the UN to take action on behalf of girls represented in those numbers.
In honor of International Day of the Girl, Dermalogica hosted the West Coast screening of the award-winning documentary Girl Rising (http://girlrising.com/), a groundbreaking film that tells the inspiring stories of nine girls trying to pursue their dreams in the harsh realities of poverty. The screening was presented at Dermalogica global headquarters in Carson, CA, and will be followed with additional screenings at Dermalogica offices around the world. Following the lead of participating cities worldwide, the exterior of Dermalogica headquarters will be brilliantly lit up in pink, to celebrate the potential of girls.
Jane Wurwand comments, "It is purely a circumstance of birth that I was, as a girl, able to pursue opportunities that are out of reach for so many girls around the world. I am personally committed that all girls are heard, and given a hand up to truly reach their own potential."

Man held after Social Security office blast
No injuries reported, authorities say
Authorities arrested a man during a traffic stop Friday in connection with an explosion at the Social Security office in Casa Grande, Arizona, a law enforcement official said.
The man is held under federal authority and faces possible state and federal charges, said the official with knowledge of the investigation.
"He was heading eastbound on the main road out of the Casa Grande area," the official told CNN.
The explosion occurred Friday morning outside a door, causing a small fire and minimal damage, said Casa Grande Fire Marshal Barbara Rice.
No injuries were reported, FBI spokeswoman Jennifer Giannola said.
The building was evacuated, but the surrounding buildings were not, Rice said.
FBI bomb technicians, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and hazardous materials experts were participating in the investigation.

17 North Texans sentenced in Flower Mound heroin arrests
But, officials are not optimistic that prison deters further drug use for addicts.
FLOWER MOUND The sentencing has been handed down for the individuals arrested on heroin charges in Flower Mound last year.
Seventeen individuals were arrested in May 2011 for their involvement in a conspiracy to deliver heroin. Three individuals faced weapons charges as well. Capt. Wess Griffin of the Flower Mound Police Department said the group's actions led to the deaths of three Flower Mound teenagers from heroin overdoses.
The police department's investigation spanned about a year and involved the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and later the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF).
On November 15, the United States District Court of the Eastern District of Texas completed its sentencing.
Griffin said the length of the sentencing is based on a set of guidelines the federal government has. Factors that go into the guidelines include age, criminal history, and cooperation. Griffin said that explains why there is a wide range in the suspects' sentencing.
But none of the individuals face the maximum sentence of 40 years in federal prison.
Flower Mound residents Anthony Edward Cathlina and Alexandre David Ward, both 20 at the time of their arrests, received the longest sentence of 120 months in prison.
Flower Mound resident Brendan Michael Jackson, 19, received 90 months.
Irving's Kevin Lee Oates, 39, was sentenced to 78 months, and Flower Mound's Joseph Tyler Hoffman, 19, received 71 months.
Highland Village's Cody Ray Jones, 20, and Corinth's Jacob Andrew Haley, 20, each received 62 months.
Lewisville's Matthew Curtis Anderson, 21, received 60 months, Grapevine's Taylor Nicole Lane, 19, received 51 months, and Flower Mound's Adam Michael Evans, 20, received 46 months.
Three individuals received 60 months probation: Highland Village's Sarah Hutcheson, 18, Lewisville's Csaba Zoltan Bazsa, 19, and Flower Mound's Nicholas A. Parker-Vanalstyne, 20. Parker-Vanalstyne also received 60 days of home confinement.
Flower Mound's Scott Aaron Schmalholz, 21, received 36 months of probation.
Flower Mound's Travis Neel, 20, and James Riley Greenwood, 23, had their cases dismissed.
The sentence is pending for Denton resident Travis Clark Tucker, 23.
Schmalholz, Evans, and Tucker also had weapons charges along with their drug charges.
But Griffin said there were no incidents of violence with these individuals.
"Weapons were not used in the commission of a crime," Griffin said. "These two individuals were felons in possession of a firearm, and if you're a convicted felon, you can't have a firearm. This just goes with the territory. They weren't moving firearms, but when people deal in the illegal black market, they need to protect themselves."
Griffin also said the group was not part of a large drug ring or scheme.
"Everyone assumes that Oates was the ringleader because of his age," Griffin said. "Like this was an organized crime ring. But their relationship was one of convenience. Everyone here had an addiction, and that forced them to make contacts. They knew addicts because they were slaves to addiction. All of them sold and used heroin, but this was not a big scheme to make money. This wasn't like a cartel, and there wasn't a massive amount of narcotics. It was a bunch of addicts struggling with addiction."
Griffin also said Hutcheson was the only school-aged person arrested. But he said she attended Marcus High School two years before the arrest and then transferred to a private school.
As far as whether the arrests and sentencing will set an example, Griffin said he doubts it will.
"I don't think sentencing is a deterrent, especially with narcotics," Griffin said. "If someone is in the throws of addiction, they will do anything to feed it."

The united states military.
Can use drones to spy on you right here in America.
As long as it's not on purpose.
That's the word that comes from a newly leaked air force document it states that have drones inadvertently capture images of Americans.
The Pentagon can hold on of those images for up to ninety days while the Pentagon decides what to do -- them.
Of course the constitution does that you can't do any of that.
That's just as the federal government is putting out new rules for drones that fly over the United States.
Right now relatively few drug patents give -- few drones are actually flying over the US.
The Border Patrol uses nine of them they tell us and some local police departments have drone licenses as well but by the year 20/20.
The feds are now projecting there could be get this 30000.
Drones patrolling our skies 30000 -- The -- -- correspondent Jonathan Hunt is with us now -- -- what exactly are all of those drones supposed to be doing well especially.
Involved in a whole host of lower enforcement activities helping out in hostage situations for instance.
Helping in the search for a missing child helping in search and rescue operations all good things obviously.
But equally obviously there -- a major privacy concerns because in effect.
This army of drones will be able to look into any American backed the -- that the authorities want to looking duke or indeed into any house using thermal imaging equipment.
Some privacy experts say that that have to be -- clear set of limits and regulations.
In place -- rather than off to this fleet of drones gets off the grand -- But but as I mentioned this is about inadvertently getting pictures of people inside the United States the military inside the United States what what do they mean by that.
Well some friends is one of these drums he's on its way to help -- in a hostage situation in Seattle Chicago Orlando cameras rolling as it flies.
Those cameras see you in -- backyard taking in some bags of fertilizer.
Are you using those to help get tomatoes grow or -- you thinking about building a bomb if the Pentagon sees that.
It can then this -- all linked so if what it thinks you're doing and whether it needs to look much more closely but in nineteen days.
At that video our own judge and -- Paula Thomas says that is illegal that is unconstitutional listen.
There is no statute that permits that written by the congress or any state legislature.
There is no court opinion.
Written by any state or federal judge this is authority that the Pentagon has given to itself -- But the drones are coming according to pretty much every expert and legal analyst around it is a question of how.
Closely they will be regulated but pretty soon we are all going to be looking up watching them watching -- and Jonathan Hunt thanks very much back.

POSTED: 12:21 PM Feb 14 2013
(CNN) -- Senate Democrats proposed a $110 billion measure on Thursday to put off mandatory across-the-board spending cuts set to take effect on March 1, replacing them with a combination of increased tax revenue from millionaires, ending agriculture subsidies, and reducing defense spending after the war in Afghanistan ends.

Orr closely examines Memento's film fabric as well as its broader cultural implications, presenting it as the result of a natural progression in a decade marked by the transformation of classic film noir into a low-budget identity noir. Nolan's dis-linear identity noir opens a black hole of perception, making the audience share the same amnesiac quality with the beleaguered, lost protagonist. This creates an intensifying suspicion of what the truth is and whether it actually exists. Orr deconstructs Memento as an intersection of popular film genre and experimental montage, discussing Nolan's mise-en-scene reduction to pure image. The author examines the narrative loop of the film as a subject to disorientations, playing forward and backward in time without a serial return to the present. Orr juxtaposes this approach to the fast-forward culture of today, calling it a perverse culture of the rewind. that plays on electronic culture's fatal flaw of .impatience with the slowing image. Nolan makes this perverse reverse dependent on the art of simple montage, creating a protagonist strikingly independent of electronic paraphernalia Leonard does not use the tools of the contemporary investigator, such as bugs, camcoders, computers, or mobiles, but is instead reliant on text and image. This, Orr argues, makes him a fable for the information age, his lack of memory storage both a match and a metaphor for the disaster bound to strike if all the world's electronic technology were to crash. Leonard is thus reduced to pure hard copy, from the tattoos covering his body to the multitude of notes lining his inside pockets. In this respect, Nolan.s protagonist becomes the antithesis of the Kubrickian cyborg monster, a de-programmed humanoid whose retrograde amnesia mirrors this technological retrograde evolution.

For years the world sought for a way to create the perfect humans, ones who were superior to others, ensuing wars only pushed the effort for genetic testing. The U.S hired countless numbers of scientists to begin their tests, a select number of individuals were chosen for the program. The test subjects survived the excruciating process and had come to learn that they had been gifted with strange powers, each able to manipulate the shape of a body part into a weapon or whatever they wished, they gained enhanced attributes far greater than any human as well as a slow but promising regenerative ability, making death only possible by their own kind. The subjects were forced to swear an oath of silence and returned to their normal lives. Hospitals began opening up with the "solution to the world's problems". People flocked to the waiting rooms and were anxious to get their vaccines in hopes to become the most dominant species on the planet, humans.
The vaccine seemed fine in the beginning but in mere hours people began to call the hospital, complaining of unbearable pains in the body. The people had begun changing violently and mutating into ravenous, grotesque, and flesh-eating creatures. Screams echoed the streets along with gunfire, what the world had so desperately wanted had turned them into monster, the efforts of the military were fruitless in their endeavors, the infected people killed and ate the ones unable to flee and the others who escaped with a bite would face a fate far graver than being eaten. The world is now in ruins and survivors barely manage to cling to life in the hell that they are forced to endure.

Bold and Beautiful Recaps
B&B Week of May 25, 2009
At Jackie M, Nick left Katie a message and she came in, looking pretty rough
from her night out. "No regrets," she murmured, saying she wanted Nick to
have a life with Bridget. "You should fight for her," she urged, as Bridget
stood in the doorway and heard the whole thing. Awkward! Katie reiterated to
both of them that she and Nick are over. "It's exhausting," she said of
trying to be the woman Nick loves when that woman is Bridget. Being just as
honest, Bridget admitted she and Nick had hashed things out last night and
were back together. Niece and aunt finally traded forgiveness and hugged.
Later, Nick and Bridget discussed things alone. Bridget was glad Nick told
Katie (offscreen!) that she can still be in Jack's life. And then they were
both glad to test drive Nick's new office couch!
At Spencer publishing, Stephanie asked Bill if he was using her. He noted
she'd gotten a lot out of their deal. It was a win-win situation! He pointed
out Steph had called Forrester a "whorehouse," so why did she care? He told
her his motto is, "I'm not happy until you're not happy," and that Eric
isn't unhappy enough for him. Yet. Later, Katie dropped by. Bill fixed her
his favorite hangover cure and teased her about throwing up on him. (She
didn't! He was kidding!) Despite everything with Nick, Bill brought a smile
to Katie's face. She warned him that she was determined to combat the Logan
Chronicles, before dumping his hangover cure in the trash and leaving
him with a smile.
Donna finished up a call with Katie, unable to shake the memory of Bill's
kiss. Right on cue, Bill called! Pam overheard Donna thanking Bill for his
heroics with Katie and alluding to an "expression of gratitude." Donna then
went into Eric's office, where he was raging about Bill's takeover to his
lawyer, Gloria. Gloria noted Bill wasn't taking over but rather pushing the
company into bankruptcy so he could buy it cheap. This just ticked Eric off
even more and he vented to Donna, who gingerly explained how Bill had helped
Katie. Pam overheard her telling Eric there's a "shred of decency" in Bill
somewhere. Eric warned her not to be fooled. Then, Stephanie came by, to
confirm Bill's plan and crow. She could stop Bill if they wanted her to. As
long as they met her four conditions: Ridge as CEO, Thorne as president, no
Rick, and 100% control of the company had to go to their kids. "Are
you crazy?" boggled Eric, turning her down flat and storming out. Donna
wondered how Steph could do this to Eric. Stephanie said the Logan girls
were nothing but trouble. "You're not hurting us, you're hurting your own
family!" Donna pointed out. Stephanie warned her that a "day of reckoning
will come," adding, "Don't underestimate me."
Donna and Stephanie continued bickering at Forrester, with Donna insisting
the Logans would survive no matter what Steph did. "You're too dumb to know
when trouble's staring you right in the face," said Stephanie on her way
out. Ridge came in to tell Donna and Eric that getting rid of his mom had
been their biggest mistake. They disabused him of the notion by revealing
Stephanie's blackmail. Eric fielded more bad business calls and the three of
them were grim about the company's future. Stephanie dropped by Bill's
office and told him she was still on board with his plan to acquire
Forrester — as long as he sold it to her. She wanted to keep her
children's birthright safe and push the Logans out. As Stephanie looked on,
Bill called Eric and offered $80 million for the company but Eric turned him
down. "I think we're going to have to wear him down," smiled Stephanie. As
Donna reassured Eric, Stephanie texted Ridge to meet her at Il Giardino.
There, she asked for Ridge's help taking the company back, using Rick and
Brooke and that whole ugly situation as her primary tool of manipulation.
At Jackie M, Jackie enjoyed the shiny new mp3 player Owen taught her to use
and and Nick made his disapproval of the liaison known. When Jackie praised
how Owen looked without a shirt, Nick cringed, reminding her she's his
mother. Jackie was happy to be living for the moment, noting she was
happy for the first time in forever because of Owen. Nearby, Bridget
wondered about Owen and Jackie's odd relationship and he insisted the bond
was legit. Later, Jackie waved her Nick/Bridget pom-poms, hugging Bridget
and hoping wedding bells were in store. Bridget told her they were being
careful this time and then asked about Jackie and Owen. Jackie hoped Nick
would come around. As Nick called Owen into his office, that looked
impossible. He asked Owen what it would cost to get him out of Jackie's
life! Jackie told Bridget Owen would just have to defend their relationship
to Nick and, sure enough, that's exactly what he did!
Stephanie explained to a skeptical Ridge why she wanted him on board with
her...with a side trip into Brooke bashing. Ridge wasn't happy to hear that
Stephanie was partnered up with Bill to drive down the company's value and
wondered what has happened to her. She listed all of Eric's transgressions
against her. In the middle of all this, Taylor arrived (because Stephanie
called her, in a matchmaking fit!) and Stephanie wrapped up her pitch to
Ridge. She dropped by Forrester, where she and Rick clashed. That's when
Brooke called to tell Rick she was doing a webcast on Eye on Fashion's site.
Steph and Rick watched it together. Steph marveled at how Brooke dubbed
Forrester a "Logan company." Taylor, meanwhile, wondered how much longer
Ridge would keep his invalid marriage from Brooke and talked about how
complicated that relationship was. "I can see you're going through Hell,"
she insisted. "Stop pretending." She noted "things would be a lot better if
you were back to me." Ridge stared at her, processing that observation.
At Spencer publishing, Jarrett felt bad about unleashing on the Forresters,
his old pals, but when Bill suggested a job downsizing, he quickly fell in
line. Brooke and Rick boggled at Stephanie's latest video blog, which
trashed Brooke. Rick didn't agree with Ridge's "just ignore her" policy and
wanted to fight fire with fire. Brooke urged him to chill out. She'd go see
Bill herself! Naturally, the one-liners and accusations flew fast and
furious. Bill wondered what kind of underwear Brooke is wearing...saying it
would prove if Stephanie was right about her. Brooke wasn't havin' it and
the snark continued. Brooke noted that Steph "spewing" things would no doubt
backfire on Bill. Feeling "magnanimous," Bill offered Brooke the spot for
his upcoming webcast with Jarrett so she could share her side. Brooke talked
about how Steph's favorite, Taylor, being married to Ridge wouldn't impact
Forrester and then listed her and her family's contributions to the company.
"Under our leadership, Forrester Creations will rise to greater heights than
ever before," she insisted.
Ridge and Taylor's tete-a-tete at Il Giardino continued, as he told her he
can't talk about the Brooke/Taylor issue. She told him she didn't like
seeing him in this state and reiterated his problems would vanish if he were
with her. "You two have grown into two different kinds of people," she
insisted of Brooke. Ridge admitted his times with Taylor were great and
Taylor kept working on him. Stephanie then called Ridge about Brooke's
explosive webcast and told him to get to Forrester ASAP. At Forrester,
Stephanie and Rick snarked about Brooke's video blog and Thomas came by to
trade barbs with Rick. "Logans don't run this business, your family's a
joke," snarled Thomas. As Rick launched at him, Ridge pulled them apart.
Brooke walked in on the ensuing group argument, and Stephanie urged Ridge to
watch the webcast and "judge for himself." So that's exactly what he did.
Ridge processed the material while Taylor and Thomas sparred with Brooke
over his head. "That's enough!" Ridge growled, asking to talk with Brooke
alone. Everyone cleared out but Taylor, who threw fuel on the fire, noting
Brooke would put her family ahead of Ridge and everything else. After she
left, Ridge and Brooke went a few rounds about Rick and Taylor's impact on
their relationship. Ridge said Brooke's webcast had made their situation
worse and Brooke said she didn't want Stephanie's shenanigans to affect
their marriage. Ridge got visibly uncomfortable when she said the "m-word,"
and Brooke noticed. Would he confess? He clutched her to him, looking torn.
At Spencer publishing, Brooke thanked Bill for the opportunity to air her
grievances and wondered if he was prepared to lose. "Let's just wait and
see," he smirked. Later, he studied the webcast hits and the comments,
gleeful. Later, Stephanie was jubilant about Brooke putting her foot in her
mouth and told Taylor they were "one step" closer to regaining the company
— and Ridge! "The gap grows wider!" she crowed of Ridge and Brooke.
At Nick's, Bridget played with Jack and admitted to Nick that Jackie had
snuck her visits with the boy while they were apart. Aw! After putting Jack
down for a nap, the duo cuddled and necked a little, awkwardly discussed
Katie, and necked some more! Later, they hashed out the "sacrifices" Nick
had to make in their relationship. First? His cigars! (He'd live longer!)
Nick, in turn, requested Bridget don her labcoat and Madame X wig for a
little frisky business but she said no...earning a tickle attack!
Thorne and Felicia showed up so Steph could pitch her plot to them
and Ridge, while Bill read Stephanie's latest article and latched on
to something troubling. The kids were all worried about how Stephanie's plan
would impact their dad. "We hate seeing him like this," sighed Felicia.
"Truly it could kill him." Stephanie insisted it was just about the company.
Ridge asked her to stop and Thorne and Felicia echoed the sentiment. Steph
insisted she just wanted them in charge of the company and then backed off,
leaving. She went to Bill's to tell him she wanted to discontinue the blogs
and end the war. Bill wondered who had gotten to her, before questioning her
about a line in her blog about Eric's soft heart leading to legal troubles.
"Is Eric cooking the books?" he mused, needling her about the dirt on Eric.
He demanded to know what she had that could bring the man to his knees. Bill
threw theories around, speculating about low income, immigrant Forrester
employees. Stephanie tried to evade but Bill said she'd unwittingly given
him the "brass key" to put Eric behind bars. "You want Forrester Creations
for yourself," Stephanie slowly realized. "That's why you're in L.A." Bill
confirmed that, assuring, "Forrester Creations will be mine!"
At Nick's, Bridget straddled Nick on the couch and suggested he switch from
beer to red wine. She gave him incentive to become a "red wine connaisseur,"
before letting him keep the beer after all. They got serious, marveling at
their renewed connection and then smooching. Then, the clothes came off! Cue
the roaring fire, the wailing saxophone, etc.
Eric, Pam, Donna, and Katie bemoaned the fact that Brooke's webcast had hurt
rather than helped them. Steph was winning! Eric finished up with an
accented Forrester employee named Bobby who had some family issues.
Stephanie greeted Bobby on the way out and then left herself. Donna asked
Eric and Katie why Steph was allowed to wander the halls. They then
discussed needing a strategy to take down Bill. Donna denied having any
particular insight on the man. As they kept brainstorming, Ridge, Thorne and
Felicia came in tell Eric that Stephanie had agreed to cease her campaign.

For the last 10 years I've been too busy to play many games so I'm quite out of touch with the gaming world. I bought Civ5 and was introduced to Steam (I'm currently downloading atm).
I have read multiple threads about people who hate steam so ferociously. I would genuinely like to understand what the root cause of peoples view towards steam is.
From what I can gather so far Steam is:
* A DRM framework / appstore / multiplayer community hub created by valve.
* Is designed to replace GameSpy (community hub)
* Is designed to replace 'self rolled' DRM solutions by each game studio
People do not like steam primarily because
* They need to connect to the internet to run the game (I think)
People like steam primarily because
* You can install a game on any machine by downloading it from your steam account
From what I can gather, if someone does not like Steam it is because it is intrusive to their system (the DRM part of it).
My question is what about Steam do you hate and specifically why?
