If you were rooting for "Live! With Kelly's" frequent guest co-host Michael Strahan to join Kelly Ripa on the show, your wish just might be ABC's command.
According to Broadcasting & Cable, the former NFL star is expected to be the new co-host on the morning program.
It'd be wise to leave at least a little room for doubt that Strahan is in for sure, however, as a rep for ABC and "Live!" isn't commenting on "any of the co-host speculation."
Earlier this week, it was announced that Ripa will join her new co-host on September 4, after months of guessing games on who would take the spot left vacant by Regis Philbin. He departed the show last November.
At one point, "SNL" star Seth Meyers was said to be in the lead, along with Strahan and Josh Groban, but Meyers quickly swatted away that gossip.
According to USA Today, Strahan is one of 59 co-hosts who were given a test run in the months following Philbin's departure. The football great is expected to continue to work as a co-host on Fox's "NFL Sunday," flying out to Los Angeles on the weekends.
In May, Strahan told "Showbiz Tonight" that he didn't view the open gig with "Live!" as "replacing Regis [Philbin.]"
"If you put it in that aspect, it's just too big," he said. "I just look at it as an opportunity to go on TV and tell stories and have fun and entertain myself and other people, and not look at the big magnitude and scope of it. ... I think the show fits my personality."

Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is the gift that keeps on giving for our podcast here at Kanzenshuu. Before the movie came out, we attempted to figure out which "AGE" it would take place in during the Dragon World's chronology. We dove into the original scripts and drafts for the movie. We have even reviewed the movie twice: once after its Japanese theatrical debut, and once again after its Japanese home release.
This time around, we take a look at what new information the film has added to the Dragon World. From new Saiyan back-history to new gods to entire new universes, the film adds much more to the series than anything else has done in a very long time!
Episode #0349! VegettoEX and Herms dive back into "Battle of Gods" to review all of the new information it has added to the Dragon World. The Saiyans have a new legend erased from history, the god hierarchy continues to expand, and new universes are out there potentially filled with strong new opponents!
Enjoy! Discuss this episode on the Kanzenshuu forum.
Five years ago, Dragon Ball fans around the world received something perhaps more innovative and exciting than anything that has even come since: a global streaming initiative for the 2008 Jump Super Anime Tour Special — Heya! Son Goku and Friends Return!! — which was freely viewable along with a selection of subtitles in various languages.
Since then, we have seen Dragon Ball Kai come and go (and come again in the near future), Dragon Ball Evolution whimper in and out, and most recently, Battle of Gods has proudly made its mark on the franchise. We wanted to go back to the 2008 special and see if it held up as well as it seemed to at the time, and how a repeated viewing of it may differ in light of Battle of Gods, especially with both features taking place during the same otherwise blank spot in the Dragon World's history.
Episode #0348! VegettoEX, Meri, and Herms dive back into the 2008 Jump Super Anime Tour Special. Now that five years have passed since its original release, how does it hold up? Does the release and production style of "Battle of Gods" color our enjoyment of the 2008 special in any way? We let you know what we think, and you all do the same!

The first international home video release of the new film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods is available today-ish in Hong Kong via Deltamac and 20th Century Fox.
Deltamac's official Hong Kong release is available on Blu-ray (Region A), DVD (Region 3), and VCD (region-free). The Blu-ray and DVD releases come packed with the original Japanese language track (Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround) and a Cantonese dub (Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo). Also included are traditional Chinese and English subtitles.
We are still waiting to confirm the accuracy of the English subtitle track and the name spellings used therein. Deltamac's official English description for the movie uses a "Bils" spelling for the main character Beerus (which has been officially romanized in Japanese publications as "Beers"), and we sadly have confirmation that many (if not all) of the international subtitled theatrical screenings have been going with "Bills".
Yes-Asia placed the movie up for pre-order on its Asian-focused and English-language-focused sites, though the English listing was removed shortly after its publication (but not before we were able to successfully secure a pre-order!). Play-Asia has also put the Blu-ray ($28.99) and DVD ($15.99) versions up for sale, each with free shipping on orders totaling $25 or more.
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods originally opened in Japanese theaters 30 March 2013 and saw its domestic home release 13 September 2013.
The film has been secured for additional international home releases, but no others have been solidified as-of-yet, and it has not yet specifically been licensed at all for North America.
The official Japanese website for the upcoming Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Vita multiplayer brawler Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z has finally updated, just now catching up with a slew of announcements over the last several weeks. Of particular interest is the website's character selection page:
New additions to the page include previously-announced characters like Beerus and Whis from the new film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, the rest of the giant boss characters, all of Coola's forms, etc.
At this point, only five spots remain open on the character listing. Two are already confirmed, however: Super Vegetto and Super Saiyan Bardock will join the special Son Goku in Naruto's "Sage Mode" outfit as downloadable content as the other green-bordered selections.
The other three have not been officially unveiled, but if some leaked achievements and other hints are any indication, we will see Gotenks, Super Saiyan Gotenks, and Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks closing out the full character roster.
Battle of Z is due out in Japan and in Europe 24 January 2014, and just a few days later in North America 28 January 2014. First-pressings in Japan will come packed with a download code for Son Goku in his Naruto "Sage Mode" outfit along with a Dragon Ball Heroes card. North American and European releases will have pre-order downloadable content in the form of the Naruto outfit as well as Super Vegetto and Super Saiyan Bardock, while Europe alone will be receiving a special "Goku Edition" of the game with further physical bonus material.
Namco-Bandai's J Legend Retsuden ("Jump Legend Biography/History") continued with its moderate success in its second week since release. According to Famitsu, the compilation pushed 3,470 copies during its second week (covering the period of 11 November 2013 to 17 November 2013), coming in at the #30 overall spot for the week.
This was, however, a significant drop from its first week sales of 15,920 copies (according to Famitsu; last week, Media Create pegged its first week sales at 17,675 copies).
The compilation combines ten games from the Famicom and Super Famicom library — nine games on the cartridge plus one bonus downloadable for those picking up the first-pressing of the game — with five total Dragon Ball games.
J Legend Retsuden has been released exclusively in Japan for ¥4,980. Play-Asia is currently offering the game at $48.99 with free shipping. Please note, however, that the Nintendo 3DS is region-locked, and the game will require a Japanese system to play.

The nostalgia bomb appears to have been a moderate success, especially considering it was only available for four of the seven days in its reporting period.

Yesterday's 2013 #50 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan reveals a few more expected characters for the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and Vita.
Coola makes a playable appearance in all of his various forms: his normal (fourth) and final (fifth) stage from DBZ Movie 5, as well as his "Metal" form from DBZ Movie 6. This is in addition to the previously-revealed giant boss "Core" version of Metal Coola that players will battle against.
Broli will also playable in his standard Super Saiyan form (prior to ramping up to "Legendary Super Saiyan", which has not yet been formally unveiled as a playable form in the game, but has been seen in teases of the game's opening animation).
Characters in the game will be unlockable by obtaining certain achievement in missions.
The official website for the game is a bit behind on updating its character roster, but filling out what we have already seen fully confirmed by the developer and publisher, that leaves us with seven spots unaccounted for. We have a few guesses of our own who might be taking a couple of those spots, but Jump this week goes on to tease future character reveals coming at a later date.
Battle of Z is due out in Japan and in Europe 24 January 2014, and just a few days later in North America 28 January 2014.

FUNimation has issued a new press release — and familiar trailer — promoting their upcoming Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray sets, their second go at the original version of the series in high definition following the suspended "Level" sets.
While the company has also released the "refreshed" Dragon Ball Kai TV series on DVD and Blu-ray, this new batch of "season" sets mirrors their original nine bricks for the full 291-episode Dragon Ball Z TV series.
"Dragon Ball Z" Season Sets Blasting onto Blu-ray This Winter
Flower Mound, TX (November 7, 2013) – FUNimation® Entertainment has announced that it is giving the Blu-ray release of the anime phenomenon Dragon Ball Z another go.
Originally attempted with the Level Sets in 2011, production was suspended due to technical challenges of the frame by frame restoration from the original film. After careful evaluation of the process, FUNimation is glad to announce that restoration has recommenced and releases will be available before years end.
Different from the Level Sets before it, the episode count on the Blu-ray Season Sets will be identical to their extremely popular DVD counterparts. Also different, is the restoration and re-mastering process being used. A bolder, more vibrant color palette is being used to produce a picture current, and future, televisions can take advantage of. The Blu-ray Season Sets will also come in a widescreen format. Precise shot-by-shot reframing of each scene has used to ensure the optimal picture when converting from its native, full screen format.
"We want Dragon Ball Z to be a part of the modern, HD experience," said Gen Fukunaga, CEO and president at FUNimation Entertainment. "We want people to see it and know that the time and care has been taken to give them something similar to what they'd see being created today."
Each set of three releases will feature never-before-seen triptych cover art, showcasing the major heroes and villains from Dragon Ball Z's three major sagas.
Included in the Dragon Ball Z Blu-ray Season Sets will be a nine-part extra features special that spans the entirety of the releases. Each Season Set will include brand new cast interviews, retrospectives, and fan submissions.
Dragon Ball Z: Season One (Blu-ray) will be available online and at retail stores on December 31, 2013.
To celebrate the announcement of this release, FUNimation is having a 4-day only, pre-order special on their website. From November 7 – November 11, fans can pre-order Dragon Ball Z: Season One (Blu-ray) for $24.74 (45% off). Click this link to view the sale.
Dragon Ball Z: Season One (Blu-ray) Summary
The Saiyans are coming! These ruthless, intergalactic villains carved a path of destruction across the galaxy, and now they're headed for Earth! The evil Saiyan warlord Vegeta will not rest until he's seized the wish-granting powers of the Dragon Balls for himself! Goku vs. Vegeta! The battle of all battles begins now!
Make room on your shelves because the Dragon Ball Z Season Sets are finally on Blu-ray! We embarked on a frame-by-frame restoration process to remove any blemishes, tape marks, and foreign bodies that might have tarnished your viewing experience. All three audio tracks have been re-mastered in the interest of noise reduction and superior sound quality. The bolder, more vibrant color of this ultimate Dragon Ball Z release closely mirrors the visual aesthetics of today's entertainment. Lastly, we undertook a precise shot-by-shot reframing of the entire series to create a modern HD widescreen presentation of this legendary fan favorite! It's time to experience Dragon Ball Z like you've never experienced it before!
We Want Your Questions!
Leading up to this release, FUNimation has asked the Kanzenshuu readership/listenership/community to submit questions about the Blu-rays to be published in an exclusive future article.
Do you have questions, concerns, or thoughts about the remastering process? Cropping? Color palette? Episode count? Compression? Audio? Pass your questions along, and we will get to the bottom of it! Registered members can simply respond here on the news post, but anyone at all can hit us up with an e-mail via our contact form, or submit questions via Twitter, Facebook, or Google+.
As Shueisha promised, the December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump — released a couple days early on 02 November 2013 due to "Culture Day" — is jam-packed with bonus Dragon Ball material, primarily in the pages of a bonus booklet itself contained within the magazine.
This month's standard chapter of Dragon Ball SD — the 23rd since its monthly reboot — continues the recent trend of Naho Ooishi following the original manga much more closely than the more comedic take of earlier chapters, covering Goku's climb up Karin Tower and his training with the feline Sage. The chapter, included in the magazine's bonus booklet rather than within the regular content pages, is also presented in black-and-white for the first time ever. There is also a single-page bonus in the magazine proper which features Oolong once again getting the jump on Pilaf, wishing for a special Dragon Ball featured in this month's issue.
Much like how the December 2013 issue of V-Jump contained an "Away-Edition" chapter of Dragon Ball SD by Naho Ooishi, Saikyō Jump returns the favor with an "Away Mission" bonus chapter of Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission by Toyotarō, entitled "Simulation". The chapter showcases Beat fighting in a battle simulation alongside his cards of young Goku, Kuririn, and Kame-Sen'nin (the same ones included with the issue) against Master Sergeant Murasaki at Muscle Tower, and getting help from Note and Kabra as support characters through a new feature introduced in Heroes JM 1.
The third manga inclusion is a separate Dragon Ball Heroes-based comic, subtitled Rookie Charisma Mission Episode 0. Penned not by Toyotarō, but instead by newcomer "Yoshitaka Nagayama", it depicts the daily life and "training" of new Battle Navigators Tsubasa and Momo-chan in cute cartoony style.
The special booklet also includes much info on the new "Ja'akuryū (Evil Dragon) Mission", with three JM 1-specific Dragon Ball Heroes cards to jump start your deck: Son Goku: Boyhood, Kuririn: Boyhood, and Kame-Sen'nin. A set of "mini-card stickers" is packed in as well, depicting various Dragon Ball Heroes cards. Rounding out the issue's Dragon Ball-themed bonus material is a double-sided JIS B3-sized poster, with promotional art for Dragon Ball Heroes JM 1 on one side, and an illustration by creator Akira Toriyama (originally drawn as a bonus poster for Weekly Shōnen Jump issue 1986 #12 in commemoration of the anime, which would begin airing the following week) on the other.
The December 2013 issue of Saikyō Jump is currently available for order online via CDJapan and Amazon Japan.
The January 2014 issue is due out next month — 04 December 2013 — and will mark the start of serialization for an "anime comic" adaptation of Dragon Ball GT:
あの伝説のアニメ が読める!!
A new Dragon Ball serial!!
Dragon Ball GT — Anime Comic
You'll be able to read that legendary anime!!
You can see lots of Goku!!
The January 2014 issue is also available for pre-order on CDJapan.
Next week's upcoming 2013 #50 issue of Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan is set to debut another two fighters — in "Hero Duos" — for the March 2014 Jump-franchise crossover fighting game extravaganza, J-Stars Victory Vs.
Tsunayoshi Sawada from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! joins the fight alongside Reborn, where they will be able to perform the "X-Burner" attack together.
Tatsumi Oga from Beelzebub joins the fight with Beelzebub himself, who can be thrown at enemies to inflict damage.
A new support character duo is also set to jump into the mix in the form of Kagura and Sadaharu from Gintama, who can ride into the fray to attack an opponent on the player's behalf.
Each duo will also have a set of personalized interactions within the game, including dialogue which will change depending on the other characters in the battle.
J-Stars Victory Vs is due out 19 March 2014 in Japan on the PlayStation 3 and Vita. Regular and "Limited Edition" versions will be available for both platforms. Son Goku and Vegeta are the two characters currently announced from Dragon Ball, alongside a wealth of other characters from Jump series old and new alike.

Biloxi (/bəˈlʌksi/; bə-LUK-see), officially the City of Biloxi, is a city in Harrison County, Mississippi. The 2010 United States Census recorded the population as 44,054. Along with the adjoining city of Gulfport, Biloxi is a county seat of Harrison County.
The city is part of the Gulfport-Biloxi metropolitan area and the Gulfport-Biloxi-Pascagoula, Mississippi Combined Statistical Area. Pre-Katrina, Biloxi was the third largest city in Mississippi behind Jackson and Gulfport; but with its population losses following that storm, it was passed by Hattiesburg. Also, in the 2010 census, Southaven is shown as the fourth largest city, so Biloxi is now ranked fifth in the state.
The beachfront of Biloxi lies directly on the Mississippi Sound, with barrier islands scattered off the coast and into the Gulf of Mexico.
Keesler Air Force Base lies within the city and is home to the 81st Training Wing and the 403d Wing of the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
Geography and climate[edit]
Biloxi is located at 30°24′43″N 88°55′40″W / 30.41194°N 88.92778°W (30.412029, −88.927829)[1] and has an elevation of 20 feet (6.1 m).[2]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 46.5 sq mi (120.5 km2), of which 38.0 sq mi (98.5 km2) is land and 8.5 sq mi (22 km2) (18.27%) is water.
Biloxi has a subtropical climate that is heavily influenced by the Gulf of Mexico. Winter days are mild and wet. Snow is extremely rare in Biloxi. Summers are hot and humid, bearing the brunt of tropical storms during the late summer to fall. Biloxi's record low of 10°F (-12.2°C) was recorded on January 24, 1963, and the record high of 104°F (40°C) was recorded on August 29, 2000.

Colonial era[edit]
The first permanent settlement in French Louisiana was founded at Fort Maurepas, now in Ocean Springs, Mississippi and referred to as Old Biloxi, in 1699 under the direction of Pierre Le Moyne d'Iberville, with Louisiana separated from Spanish Florida at the Perdido River near Pensacola (founded 1559 and again in 1698).
The name of Biloxi in French was "Bilocci" (with "fort Maurepas"),[4] and the name was sometimes translated into English as "Fort Bilocci" on maps updated circa year 1710/1725.[5][6]
In 1720, the administrative capital of French Louisiana was moved to Biloxi (or Bilocci) from Mobile (or Mobille). French Louisiana (part of New France) was known in French as La Louisiane in colonial times, but in modern times is called "La Louisiane française" to distinguish from the modern state of Louisiana (also "Louisiane" in French).[4]
Due to fears of tides and hurricanes in the 18th century, the capital of French Louisiana was later moved by colonial governor Bienville, in 1723, from Biloxi to a new inland harbor town named La Nouvelle-Orléans (New Orleans), built for the purpose in 1718–1720.
In 1763, following Great Britain's victory in the Seven Years War, France had to cede French Louisiana east of the Mississippi River, except for New Orleans, to Great Britain, as part of the Treaty of Paris. At that same time, Louisiana west of the Mississippi, including New Orleans, was ceded to Spain as part of the Treaty of Fontainebleau.
Subsequent history[edit]
British rule persisted from 1763 to 1779, and then Spanish rule from 1779 to 1798. Despite this, the character of Biloxi remained mostly French.[7] In 1811, Biloxi came under United States of America control as part of the Mississippi Territory. Mississippi, and Biloxi with it, were then admitted to the union in 1817.
Now that ownership was settled, Biloxi began to grow. It became a summer resort, with the advantages of close proximity to New Orleans and ease of access via water. Summer homes were built by well-to-do farmers and commercial figures. Hotels and rental cottages came into existence to serve those who could not afford their own homes.[7]
One of Biloxi's most known features has been the Biloxi Lighthouse, which was built in Baltimore and then shipped south and completed in May 1848.[8] (It and another are the only surviving lighthouses of twelve that once dotted the Mississippi Gulf Coast.[8])
In the early stages of the Civil War, Ship Island was captured by Union forces, which led to the effective Union capture of Biloxi as well. No major battles were fought in the area, and Biloxi did not suffer direct damage from the war.[7] Some local Union sentiment could be discerned following the war's conclusion.[8]
In the postbellum period, Biloxi again emerged as a vacation spot. Its popularity as a destination increased with railroad access. In 1881, the first cannery was built in the town, leading to others soon joining the location. Biloxi grew again, and as different ethnic groups came to work in the seafood factories, Biloxi gained a more heterogeneous population.[7]
During World War II, the United States Army Air Forces built Keesler Field, now Keesler Air Force Base, which became a major basic training site and site for aircraft maintenance. The Biloxi economy boomed as a result,[9] again bringing more diverse groups to the area. By 1958, the first Jewish synagogue had been built in the town.[9]
Biloxi's casino history dates back to a period in the 1940s, when open, if technically illegal, gambling took place in a casino within the Broadwater Beach Resort.[10] Open gambling ended during the 1950s.[11] The Mississippi Gulf Coast became known as the "Poor Man's Riviera", and was frequented by Southern families interested in fishing expeditions during the summer.[12] Commercially, Biloxi was dominated by shrimp boats and oyster luggers.[12]
In the early 1960s, the Gulf Coast again emerged as a prime alternative to Florida as a southern vacation destination among Northerners, with Biloxi a center of the focus.[12] Biloxi hotels upgraded their amenities and hired chefs from France and Switzerland in an effort to provide some of the best seafood cuisine in the country.[12] Edgewater Mall was built in 1963.
With the introduction of legal gambling in Mississippi in the 1990s, Biloxi was again transformed.[9] It became an important center for casinos, and the hotels and complexes brought millions of dollars in tourism revenue to the city. The more famous casino complexes were the Beau Rivage casino resort, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Biloxi), Casino Magic, Grand Casino, Isle of Capri Casino Resort Biloxi, Boomtown Casino, President Casino Broadwater Resort, and Imperial Palace. Like Tunica County in the northern part of the state, Biloxi and the surrounding Gulf Coast region was considered a leading gambling center in the Southern United States.
To celebrate the area's Tricentennial in 1998/99, the city's tourism promotion agency invited the nationally syndicated Travel World Radio Show to broadcast live from Biloxi, with co-host Willem Bagchus in attendance.
By the early 21st century, Biloxi's economy rested on the three prongs of seafood, tourism and gaming.[7]
Scores of hurricanes have hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast, but the most destructive, as measured by storm surge levels in the Biloxi Lighthouse, occurred in 1855, 1906, 1909, 1947, 1969 (Hurricane Camille), and 2005 (Hurricane Katrina)[13]
Hurricane Katrina[edit]
On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast with high winds, heavy rains and a 27-foot (8.2 m) storm surge, causing massive damage to the area. Katrina came ashore during the high tide of 6:56AM, +2.3 feet more.[14] Commenting on the power of the storm and the damage, Mayor A.J. Holloway said, "This is our tsunami."[15] Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour was quoted as saying the destruction of the Mississippi coastline by Hurricane Katrina looked like an American Hiroshima.
On the morning of August 31, 2005, in an interview on MSNBC, Governor Barbour stated that 90% of the buildings along the coast in Biloxi and neighboring Gulfport had been destroyed by the hurricane. Several of the "floating" casinos were torn off their supports and thrown inland, contributing to the damage.
Many churches were destroyed or severely damaged, including St. Michael's Catholic Church (see photo at right), which was gutted by the storm surge, breaking the entry doors and stained-glass windows along the first floor; however, the interior was later removed, and the structure was still solid enough to allow repairing the church.
Hurricane Katrina damaged over 40 Mississippi libraries, flooding several feet in the Biloxi Public Library and breaking windows, beyond repair, requiring a total rebuild.[16]
Hurricane-force winds persisted for 17 hours and tore the branches off many coastal oak trees, but the tree trunks survived the 30-foot (9.1 m) flood and many have since regrown smaller branches. Some reconstructed homes still have the antebellum appearance, and miles inland, with less flooding, shopping centers have re-opened.
Harrison County Coroner Gary T. Hargrove told the mayor and City Council that Hurricane Katrina had claimed 53 victims in Biloxi, as of January 30, 2006. Of the 53 confirmed fatalities in Biloxi, a figure that includes one unidentified male, Hargrove said the average age was 58, with the youngest being 22 and the oldest 90; 14 were female and 39 were male.
Biloxi is also the site of a well-known memorial to the Katrina victims, built by the crew and volunteers of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.[17]
Many casinos were damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Of the casinos that were located in Biloxi, eight have reopened since Katrina. They are: the Grand Biloxi Casino Hotel Spa (formerly known as Grand Casino Biloxi), the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the Isle of Capri Casino and Resort, the Palace Casino Resort, the IP Casino Resort Spa (formerly known as Imperial Palace), Treasure Bay Casino, Boomtown Casino, and the Beau Rivage, which reopened on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.[18]
Multiple plans have been laid out to rebuild the waterfront areas of Biloxi, and the federal government has recently announced that it is considering giving up to 17,000 Mississippi coast homeowners the option to sell their properties so that a vast hurricane-protection zone can be implemented.[19] Meanwhile, the city of Biloxi is rapidly implementing plans to allow the redevelopment of commercial properties south of highway 90.[20]

France orders Google to change its privacy policies
Google has three months to clean up its privacy act in France or else.
On Thursday, French regulator CNIL (Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertes) charged that Google's policies for collecting user data continue to violate French law. If the company doesn't modify those policies within the next three months, it would be fined 150,000 euros (almost $198,000). A second fine of 300,000 euros (almost $396,000) would follow if Google still fails to comply, Reuters reported.
Specifically, Google has been ordered to implement the following changes, as outlined by the CNIL:

Fantastic Glow & firmness
By jennifercav

Comments about Perricone MD Neuropeptide Facial Conformer 1 oz:
I used this product in the evening after blue plasma. My skin has never looked or more importantly felt better! I can see results. As a matter of fact I have a twin sister and she noticed the change in my skin and inquired what I was using. She now is a convert too. WHAT A POWERHOUSE!

About Me Brand Buyer
Recommended to me by the Perricone representative. What a find! Have been using faithfully these past two years--actually ramped up my usage from only p.m., to a.m. as well. Noticeable improvement in firmness and radiance.Wouldn't be without it!

About Me Beauty Conscious
This product literally takes years off your appearance. I use it 2-3 times a week and always for special occasions.
Super Fanstastic!!
By Hard to Please
from Burlington, NC
I use Neuropeptide Facial Conformer three days a week in the mornings and evenings after cleaning my face and applying Cold Plasma. The other four days I alternate with High Potency Amine Complex Face Lift in the mornings and High Potency Evening Repair nights.The Neuropeptide Facial Conformer does not irritate my sensitive skin and working with the other Perricone treatments has made it more youthful and toned.In a few months I will be 65, and I have had several people tell me recently that I certainly do not look my age. So, I hope I can continue to use this great treatment because who wants to look older?? Thanks again, Dr. Perricone, for all your great products!

The Venezuelan Brass Ensemble was founded in 2003 by the German trumpeter Thomas Clamor, implementing an idea of José Antonio Abreu. It unites the best brass players and percussionists of the various El Sistema orchestras in one ensemble. Since its founding, the ensemble has been on many highly successful tours to Germany, England, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Canada, the USA and of course also within Latin America. Its mixed programme of classics and South American hits proves not only the ensemble's musical abilities, but often brings thousands of listeners to their feet in rapture – for example at the memorable BBC Proms in London.
The Brass Ensemble is still directed by Thomas Clamor. Since his first visit to Venezuela in 2001, the German musician has maintained close ties with El Sistema: in addition to leading the Brass Ensemble, he regularly gives master classes for children and teenagers there. He played an essential role in establishing the first Latin American Brass Academy in Venezuela.
The Simón Bolívar National Youth Choir was founded in 2006 and is one of the ensembles which have acted as an ambassador for El Sistema outside Venezuela. Its guest appearances in Germany and the USA were internationally acclaimed. The chorus is directed by Lourdes Sánchez, who is also the director of the entire El Sistema choral department. As part of the Salzburg Festival, the Venezuelan youth chorus will also perform in Mahler's Symphonies Nos. 3 and 8 as well as Mozart's Missa in C Minor under Gustavo Dudamel's baton. Simon Rattle and Krzysztof Penderecki have previously conducted this choral ensemble.

Music as a means to change society. This vision of José Antonio Abreu stood at the beginning of the initiative El Sistema. And this vision has become reality. More than two million children have profited from El Sistema in Venezuela since its founding; currently almost 400,000 children, mainly from disadvantaged social strata, are learning an instrument and making music in the country's ensembles and orchestras, gaining a new perspective on life. In the meantime, the movement has spread around the world. More than one hundred similar projects all over the world have taken inspiration from this great philosophy, believing passionately in the power of music. We share this passion and are convinced that El Sistema at the Salzburg Festival will contribute to strengthening existing initiatives – like superar – and providing new impulses for the realisation of similar projects in other countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.

A Partnership for El Sistema at the Salzburg Festival Music as a means for social change. This vision of José Antonio Abreu stood at the beginning of the initiative El Sistema. And this vision became reality. Over two million children in Venezuela have benefited from El Sistema since its founding, and currently there are almost 400,000 children, mainly from disadvantaged social strata, who are learning to play an instrument and perform in the country's ensembles and orchestras, gaining a new perspective on life. In the meantime, the movement has gained traction all over the world. More than one hundred projects throughout the world have adopted this wonderful philosophy, believing passionately in the power of music. We share this passion, and we hope that the residency of El Sistema at the Salzburg Festival will support and contribute new impulses to existing initiatives – for example SUPERAR – and also inspire others to realize similar projects in other countries, especially in Central and Eastern Europe.

El Sistema
"For the children we work with, music is practically the only path to a social existence in human dignity. Poverty means loneliness, sadness, anonymity. An orchestra means joy, motivation, teamwork, striving for success." José Antonio Abreu
El Sistema – The Miracle. In 1975, José Antonio Abreu, conductor, composer and economist, developed the idea of improving social conditions in his country through classical music, by giving children an alternative to life on the streets. In Caracas, he founded the first Venezuelan children's orchestra with twelve children from the barrios, the illegal suburban slums. Since then, he has built a network of orchestras and music centres – El Sistema – throughout the country; each of these teaches in the same unique way. The focus of this method of music education is on the ability to play together, which is why the children are integrated into orchestras from the very beginning. The transfer of knowledge from older to younger children is also part of Abreu's intention and philosophy: to him, an orchestra is first and foremost a community in which children learn to listen to and respect each other. Thus, the goal is to integrate them into a social network in which every individual takes responsibility and contributes to the results achieved jointly. Maestro Abreu has been able to build upon and expand his vision continuously over the course of more than three decades. The children's orchestras turned into youth orchestras and the music centres into academies where highly talented musicians study. During recent years, El Sistema has produced a whole series of internationally successful conductors, the most well-known of which is surely Gustavo Dudamel. At the present time, there are 286 music centres in Venezuela, the so-called nucléos, usually located at the edge of a barrio. Today, the Fundación Musical Simón Bolívar (the national system of youth and children's orchestras and choruses of Venezuela) unites almost 400,000 members throughout the entire country in a system of preschool orchestras, children's orchestras, and youth orchestras, all the way to adult symphony orchestras and choruses. 75 % of the children and teenagers participating in the programme live below the poverty line.
As part of the 2013 Salzburg Festival, this visionary and exemplary project will be presented for the first time in a larger context and in its full diversity outside of Venezuela. To achieve this goal, the Salzburg Festival has invited not only the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra – the orchestral training programme's flagship, which has appeared previously in Salzburg – but also five of El Sistema's other ensembles. The selection of ensembles, especially the invitation of the White Hands Choir (which unites children and teenagers with various disabilities), makes it clear that El Sistema is primarily a social project, which does its utmost to integrate as many social groups as possible, instead of excluding anyone.
Simon Rattle, who has been closely associated with El Sistema and has championed it for many years, will convey his enthusiasm for El Sistema to Salzburg's audiences, along with Gustavo Dudamel and many other artists.
Apart from the symphonic and choral concerts, there will also be a chance for encounters and exchanges with institutions and initiatives from Salzburg and Austria. One example is the participation of children who are members of superar (the Austrian El Sistema initiative) in the grand opening concert of the El Sistema residence on July 24, when Mahler's Symphony No. 8 will be performed under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel; another is a joint project of members of Venezuela's Children's Orchestra and members of the Mozart Children's Orchestra of the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation.
The Salzburg residence of El Sistema features not only concerts, but also symposia, workshops and conferences. Altogether, during the summer of 2013, far more than one thousand children and teenagers will travel from Venezuela to Salzburg, together with their teachers and accompanying persons.
At each of their concerts, the most convincing element of the Venezuelan children's and teenagers' performances is their boundless enthusiasm and their passionate music-making. Surely, the large-scale Salzburg residence of El Sistema will bring important impulses for new developments and efforts in Europe to introduce children and young people to classical music and joint music-making. LEICA will commission renowned photographers to document the project.

Well, you can tell that fall is not in the air but here in person. Just look at all the leaves changing colors and blowing from trees and landing on the yards. Today was All Saints Sunday At Salem. Since most of the cooks were 70 or over, the church decided to go out to eat. We all joined together at Taylor's Restaurant and ate their cooks delicious food. Norma Jean had guests with her.

02-04-2013, 12:03 AM #12I joined when the original chat was up and really miss that chat, even if it did not have all the features of the newer one that was installed and then removed because it actually made the site feel like a community instead of pulling it apart.
I also "like" the newer layout and understand that from a revenue standpoint, you need to have the adds, but there is a trade off.
I come to this site for information, and with the adds taking so much space, that is less space for the information I am looking for, and that in turn means I am using this site allot less than I use to which I assume you are trying to up the memberships, visitors , hits, etc.
If I want to see add's I will turn the tv on.... or use an add free site, even if it means I need a membership to stop the adds.
02-04-2013, 03:52 PM #13I would like to see the technical forums split up by era rather than by body type.
In other words most of my NBS posts apply equally to Yukon, Suburban, and Pickups. But they don't apply to NNBS trucks of any configuration.
So I have to choose whether to post them in the pickup or SUV forum and either way they get mixed up with obs and nnbs threads that aren't related.Minneapolis area - 1997 K2500 regular cab long bed, pushes plow in the winter, carries camper in the summer - 2004 4x4 Suburban 2500 8.1, pulls 30' Airstream trailer

02-05-2013, 02:41 PM #15As far as the ads go, I don't mind them at all. It is not like they are intrusive. They do not mess up the flow of threads. I have been on some forums where the ads show up as posts in the middle of a thread. That is terribly annoying.

02-05-2013, 03:03 PM #16I love the current layout and interface. I do like the idea about creating categories for each gen (OBS, NBS, NNBS, etc.) The change in the emails recently freaked me because I wasn't ready for it. The new email format doesn't put enough space between the new post and the basic text making it confusing.

Ok, the first changes will come in the next few weeks and it will address the front "home" page first more than anything else. Right now that section doesn't work very well and is very ugly to look at so cleaning that up with news & information will help a lot with the way that information flows on the site. I don't have many changes planned for the "forum" right now actually.

Yeah, I have an entire list of things that I have planned and believe me I'm taking everyone's input ... long-term members get more say-so than a new-member for sure. I have plans to sketch out the changes and will start to roll them out in a mixture of what's the easiest to what's the most needed.
02-26-2013, 09:41 PM #20I think a change of color scheme would be nice, and maybe a new updated chat system. They have the ones where you can click an icon to chat, and it brings up a different window to chat in. And can have seperate chat rooms for the admins, for different topics, etc etc. Just my two cents!
