Incorporated in 1957 primarily as a bedroom community south of Los Angeles, Westminster has grown to become one of the most dynamic and vibrant cities in Orange County. Westminster apartments for rent have become a popular choice due to their convenient location in the northwest end of Orange County, and distinct neighborhoods offer unique cultural diversity within the community. Westminster was honored with the All-America City Award in 1996, and is positioned to thrive as hub for tourism and entertainment in the Orange County area.
Community events in Westminster revolve around the Westminster Rose Center, a 33,840 square-foot building made up of a theater, banquet hall and connecting foyers that accommodate numerous community functions. The center's architecture is designed to evoke bamboo plants as a tribute to Westminster's large Vietnamese community, and a bamboo terrace joins the center to accommodate overflow crowds or special outdoor events.
Residents can soak up the Southern California sun at one of Westminster's 24 parks, all offering a range of amenities including picnic areas, basketball courts and playground equipment. Sigler Park showcases a popular splash pad during the summer, and Liberty Skate Park gives novice and intermediate skaters a safe place to practice their skateboarding skills.
Westminster continues to experience residential and commercial growth, and the city's assessed valuation reached more than $51 trillion dollars in 2005. Between 2003 and 2009, average salaries in Westminster increased by 58.1, with the wholesale industry providing the highest salary growth. Other large job sectors include retail, health, education, hospitality and professional management. Top Westminster employers include the Westminster School District, Southern California Edison, Ito Farms, Kindred Hospital of Westminster and the City of Westminster.
The Westminster School District, Garden Grove Unified School District, Huntington Beach Union High School District and the Ocean View School District all have boundaries that overlap parts of Westminster; together, they offer four high schools to Westminster students. The community college of Coastline Community College has a satellite campus in Westminster, and Golden West College, a community college in Huntington Beach, is just minutes away. Both offer a wide array of vocational training, certificate and degree programs.
The Orange County Transit Authority makes it easy for Westminster residents to save on transportation costs by using convenient bus routes throughout the city that connect Westminster with neighboring Orange County communities. Westminster is also easily accessed by major Southern California freeways, and is a popular location for working professionals looking for an affordable place to live that provides a convenient connection to Orange County businesses.
Westminster's Community Development Department receives federal funding to help low income residents by providing affordable housing options. Sustainable, planned development preserves the quality of historic Westminster neighborhoods while providing new opportunities for growth and enhancing property values. City-data.com reports that the median gross rent for Westminster rentals was $1,256 in 2009.
Westminster's Little Saigon neighborhood is a major tourist attraction, and is home to the largest concentration of Vietnamese shopping and amenities outside of Vietnam. The 150,000 square foot Asian Garden Mall is the highlight of Little Saigon, and features boutiques, cafes and a large gold jewelry mart. During the summer, the Asian Garden Mall hosts an outdoor night market in the parking lot where vendors can set up tents to display food, arts and clothing while live entertainment plays in the background. The mall also hosts the annual Flower Festival two weeks before the Vietnamese Lunar New Year celebration, which features fresh flowers and traditional Vietnamese gifts on display. Westminster sponsors the TET Parade to celebrate the arrival of spring and the first day of the lunar year, held downtown on Bolsa Avenue.

Published 1.02.2013
From D CEO JAN-FEB 2013
A number of changes, both societal and technological, bode well for Travelocity. So says the company's president and CEO, Carl Sparks."I think we're entering an era where people—particularly baby boomers—are beginning to realize that collecting memories is more important than collecting things," he says. "Travel helps people build memories." When Sparks took the helm in April 2011, the company, which is a subsidiary of Southlake-based Sabre Holdings Corp., had experienced several years of declining revenue, including a 5.3 percent dip in 2011. Today, Travelocity's U.S. market is holding "steady," Sparks says, and is experiencing healthy international growth.Sparks defines himself as a "digital guy." His climb up the career ladder has included stints as chief marketing officer of Expedia Inc., general manager of Hotels.com North America, and president of the online retailer Gilt Groupe.Title: President and CEO Age: 45First job: When I was 13, one of our neighbors gave me a summer job in the shipping department of an auto parts warehouse in Newark, N.J.Worst job: Same one. It was hard work in a windowless warehouse, and it wasn't very interesting. Once I was so bored cutting carpet samples for vehicles, I accidentally cut through the cord of the power saw and the whole warehouse went dark.Management strategies: Hire great talent, set high expectations and clear goals, and then be there to help them get over any barriers.Biggest pet peeve: Leaders who play with politics and make decisions based on who they know rather than on competencies and merit. What's new at Travelocity: We're doing a lot more mobile and we're also stepping up our efforts in social media. Biggest challenge: Getting the pace of innovation to be faster. Companies can now bring new things online in mere weeks. I have to make sure that our team has the talent needed to do that. Family: My wife, Sherri, and I have three children—Charlotte, Matthew, and Sarah—and three Yellow Labs.Weekends: I love fishing. It's relaxing, because you just concentrate on that one small thing: catching something.Reading material: I'm reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. It's about a convicted Australian bank robber who escapes from prison and flees to India.TV: Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. My favorite show of all time is HBO's The Wire. It's no longer on the air, but I have all of the DVDs.Best advice: A former boss, Kevin Ryan at Gilt Groupe, told me the most important thing I can do is concentrate on the talent I hire, because getting to decide who sits in what seat is the only thing that is my responsibility alone.Learning experience: I did consulting before I went into business school and again when I got out. I soon realized that I dreaded going to work. If you don't love what you're doing, you need to do something else. So in 1999, I moved to Austin to work on a startup tech company, Living.com, which was backed by Starbucks, Amazon.com, and Austin Ventures.Keeping employees happy: There are three things that help build employee morale. First, communication—there is no such thing as over-communicating. Second, authenticity—if you're truthful with people and authentic about the bad things and the good, they'll follow you. Third, find ways to make it fun.
Please use this form to describe the issue in as much detail as possible so we know how to reproduce it.

Just listen to a few minutes of both shows, all this guy talks about is 9 inch cock, any other Dj going on like this and Howard would rip them apart and make all type of sly comments about them being gay, it fucking embarrassing
Just listen to a few minutes of both shows, all this guy talks about is 9 inch cock, any other Dj going on like this and Howard would rip them apart and make all type of sly comments about them being gay, it fucking embarrassing
What shows?
O & A did a great show today and it was live - they even spoke about the killing in Oklahoma.
the guy paid a plastic surgeon to put a cock right smack in the middle of his face.
☃ "There are entire websites dedicated to how ugly my wife is."
Does anyone think Howard is into Cockold Pornos?? Or even more has done that with Beth? He does like to film stuff, He has brought up alot of Big Cock talk in the last year or so? Does anyone think he has BBC fuck his wife as he watches?
He seemed to be really into Nick Cannon's cock? Like its very interesting to him to know all about black cock. (When you listen to the old show with Alison you can hear them actually fight & hate each other, the show was alot more honest then we ever thought... one of Howard top thoughts now a days is talking about large dicks)
Do you think he was thinking about a dude when he was fucking Alison?
Easy with the cock talk, you're gonna get Feltspot interested and nobody wants that!
Alan Thicke is on. He relates the story about his boys seeing Gretzky's wife nude in the spa. Then he mentions that some famous guy stayed there while filming a movie or something and Howard's first question is "did he use the spa?", hoping for a detailed penis description.
When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it." ~Frederic Bastiat

OTTAWA — A foreskin activist who was recently banned from Vancouver's Pride parade for publicly displaying his genitalia will be marching in Ottawa Pride this weekend to "combat anti-foreskin prejudice." Glen Callender, founder of the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project, was banned from participating in Vancouver Pride after he displayed full-frontal nudity in the previous year's parade.

Michigan could get enhanced 911 system
By Rina Miller
Michigan may be getting an enhanced 911 system.
The system known as Next Generation 911 could be in widespread use in the state by 2017.
Emergency dispatchers can already identify where landline and cellphone calls originate.
But Michigan's 911 administrator says changing technology is driving an upgrade of the system.
The new system would let people send text messages, digital photos and videos in real time to alert authorities to emergencies and provide critical information to first responders.
A report from the Michigan 911 Committee says the number of emergency calls coming from cell phones and services like Skype are rising exponentially.

No, I think the cake is smaller than the video shows. Putting the recipe into a regular-sized loaf pan (and admittedly using frozen and then chopped-up berries), my cake is only about 2" high. And that's using extra frosting.
And her raspberries look as big as strawberries on there. I've never seen raspberries that big.
Nevertheless, 1/8 of the total cake is a plenty-big serving, no matter how little it looks.

So when an individual decides to short-circuit or circumvent this careful arrangement, he must only do so when there is reason to believe that representatives from all three branches have allowed grave wrongdoing to go unchecked. Otherwise, an unauthorized disclosure is nothing more than an effort to impose one's own narrow political view on one's fellow citizens.
In such a case, it is the leaker, not state secrecy, that poses an "existential threat" to American democracy.

Some of the biggest names in aeronautics came to Buffalo for SpaceVision 2012, the nation's largest student-run space conference. And this year, it was hosted by the University at Buffalo's chapter of Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS). In a nod to changing times, the conference theme was "Crossroads: How Our Generation Will Take Us to the Space Frontier."
Two UB alumni were among the presenters: Christopher Scolese, director of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, who received a BS in electrical engineering from UB in 1978; and Hussein Jirdeh, head of communications and public outreach for the Space Telescope Science Institute, who received a PhD in mechanical engineering from UB in 1988.

Abstract: This study describes the symptom experience of 743 men and women living with HIV/AIDS in Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, and Swaziland. Data were obtained in 2002 by using a cross-sectional design. A survey of participants included 17 sociodemographic items and the 64-item Revised Sign and Symptom Checklist for Persons with HIV Disease. Results indicate a strong correlation between the frequency of reported symptoms and their intensity (r .84, p .00). Participants who reported having enough money for daily expenses also reported significantly fewer symptoms. There were no significant differences in symptom frequency between men and women or by location of residence. The study showed a complex picture of HIV-related symptoms in all four countries. Because of the high levels of symptoms reported, the results imply an urgent need for effective home- and community-based symptom management in countries where antiretroviral therapy is unavailable to help patients and their families manage and control AIDS symptoms and improve quality of life.

Authorities arrested a man after he was found with pills and over $900 in cash, Saturday. According to the Ross County Sheriff's Office, deputies stopped a vehicle on Witter Drive, off Clinton Road, at 11:50pm, for not having tail lights.
Authorities say the driver, 33-year-old Craig Himelrick, gave them permission to search the vehicle where they found an over-the-counter pill bottle with forty-nine 30-mg Oxycodone and three 15-mg Oxycodone pills.
Himelrick was found with $948 in cash in his pocket.
He told deputies his mother gave him the cash and that he found the pills lying along the road.
He was arrested for possession of drugs. Another person in the vehicle was not charged. Additional charges are pending, according to the Sheriff's Office.

A rocky start for the speaker of the house facing -- reelection are facing reelection.
And then two pieces of content area of fiscal cliff -- angered a lot of house Republicans and now delayed vote for victims of super storm sandy.
Punted to the next congress that's a move that outraged lawmakers in the affected areas listen here.
To leave new York and New Jersey and thousands of people in this holiday season.
On their room and abandoned.
Was wrong.
And disgraceful and lot of ways.
To say to a region that was.
Hurt by a natural disaster and -- you have to rebuild yourself.
And you have to fund the reconstruction.
Actually adds insult to injury that the critics say the bill they're sympathetic with the victim certainly but the -- needs to be paid for.
And there's some other criticism to Mike Emanuel -- on the -- we start there -- -- good morning to you first on John Boehner is a leadership visiting question as a speaker or not.
Bill no question it's been a bumpy few weeks for speaker John Boehner the as you mentioned they did not a lot of house conservatives did not like that fiscal cliff deal that they were.
Forced to vote on I'm New Year's Day with the threat of -- country going over the fiscal cliff there's also some new York New Jersey Republicans.

The bottom line a key California Republicans says Boehner is the man.
As -- been the speaker of the whole house sometimes in fact recognizing that the art of the possible is not in his party alone yes.
Is there something going to challenge -- no I don't expect it.
Does he have a dilemma which is ultimately it isn't working as well as we'd like to were not able to message and oh by the way.
We're not united in the most important things Republicans stand for which is restraining the growth of government.
Yep that's a problem and under his leadership I hope with Eric -- and others we can fix it.
So they're clearly -- challenges ahead -- bottom line did we expect the vote to go forward about four hours from now we will find out.
If there is a serious challenge to John gators leadership.
Probably watching that now what about standing and this controversy might -- critics say this is a build it.
Is loaded up report that has nothing to do with the victims what's happen that's right.
There were significant concerns about some of the items that were in the senate passed bill a lot of people very sympathetic.
Of course to the people of new York -- New Jersey but here's some of the items that were troubling to some folks here on Capitol Hill 150 million dollars to Alaskan fisheries.
Fifteen million dollars to NASA.

There were no tomorrow hopeful that have been reported today everything that was little portable power everything in that -- relate directly.
You standing.

My partner and I are trying to use the ezdspC5535 as an audio effects processor intended for use by musical instruments for our senior project in electrical engineering at the University of Vermont. We want to use this device for real-time playback of effected audio signals. We would like to input the signals through the stereo input jack J3 and output them through the stereo output jack J4. Upon reviewing the documentation associated with the connected audio framework we have come to understand that for real-time playback of audio the signals go through the micro USB port J1. We want to know if it is possible to change the path from which we input signals for real-time playback. Ultimately we want to insert our own filter algorithms into the playback path, but we would like our input to be directly from the instrument itself via an 1/8th inch jack not the USB.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Mike & Mike
Hi Mike and Mike,
Cool project - C5000 DSPs are well suited for real-time audio processing.
Check out the examples in the C5000 University Teaching ROM - 20 labs that use the audio input and output jacks for filtering, audio effects, etc. I have used these labs with the pickups of an electric guitar as the audio source - it worked well.
These labs are written for the C5505 and C5515 eZdsps, but are easily ported to the C5535 eZdsp. I have been meaning to write the wiki article on the porting - essentially replace I2S0 with I2S2 in all instances - I2S2 is connected to the AIC3204 codec on the C5535 eZdsp whereas I2S0 was connected to the codec on C5505 and C5515 eZdsps.
For your project, the connected audio framework might not be the best starting point unless you require USB streaming playback or record.
Let us know how we can help.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please click the Verify Answer button on this post if it answers your question.
Also see our C5000 Wiki---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks for the quick response, your help is appreciated. We attempted to begin the first lab in Chapter 1. We changed I2S0 to I2S2 in the files, and got the code to build without any errors or warnings. When attempting to debug the program we ran into issues. We think the code is set up to work with the C5505 processor and we are unsure how to get it to debug with our processor. We would be grateful for any help.
Mike and Mike,
Try replacing the original Teaching ROM files with these attached modified files.
I bet your problem was not making this change to the EBSR register (pin mux) to bring out I2S2...
SYS_EXBUSSEL = 0x1000; // Configure PPMODE 1 = I2S2
3542.C5000 Teaching ROM Port to C5535 eZdsp.zip
This is going on the wiki for sure.
Hope this helps,Mark
I have created this Porting C5000 Teaching ROM to C5535 eZdsp wiki page:
Successfully verified this port on all 20 Teaching ROM labs!
Hey Mark,
We are having issues still getting the first program to run. We followed the steps included in the wiki, but still can't hear any audio being output. We have observed that the demo code is still loaded onto our device, and can in fact still play audio from our PC through the micro-USB. Would this be an issue if this code is still on our device? Is there any specific way we should be loading code on our device in order to clear out old code? We appreciate your help so far, and we think we are very close to figuring this out.
Try to import this existing CCS4 project.
4174.Chapter 1 - C5535 eZdsp.zip
michael swansonWe have observed that the demo code is still loaded onto our device, and can in fact still play audio from our PC through the micro-USB.
Once you connect to the eZdsp from within code composer, that demo program should stop running - the OLED will keep its display until power cycled or written to.
Make sure you are connecting to the J2 USB port when you connect to the eZdsp through CCS.
Isnt the demo code stored on the microSD card? Why not just remove the microSD card to stop the demo code from running?
After connecting to the eZdsp, and after building the CCS4 project, use the load program feature to load the .out file into the DSP internal memory.
Then using the debugger, run the program by clicking on the Green Run arrow button.
Let me know where you are getting stuck.
Thank you very much! We weren't familiar with devices that required manual loading, and sure enough loading the .out file allowed us to play audio through our device. We appreciate all your help.
Mike and Mike
Now that we have this process complete we have run into another small road block. It appears that in order for us to have a program run while the ezDSP is not connected to the computer via J2 we need to load a boot-image of the program onto the device. We found an article on this, but we had trouble understanding the full process. Could you give us some advice for how to perform this process correctly? Thanks again for all your help, you have been an invaluable resource to us.
-Mike & Mike
Not a problem.
Here's the flow of things:
SPI Flash has precedence over SD Boot if both have valid images - SPI Flash can be disconnected (boot avoided) by switching DIP SW3 Pin 4 to OFF
See http://www.ti.com/lit/an/sprabl7a/sprabl7a.pdf:
"Each device has a fixed order in which it checks for a valid boot image on each supported boot device. The device order is 16-bit SPI EEPROM, 24-bit SPI serial flash, I2C EEPROM, and SD/SDHC/eMMC/moviNAND"
Hex55 Reference: See http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spru280i/spru280i.pdf - Chapter 13 - Hex Conversion Utility Description
Also try this attached bootimg of Teaching ROM Chapter 1 ported to C5535 eZdsp that I created with this procedure:
Dear Mark,
I would like to check the Teaching ROM examples, but it seems the link http://www.ti.com/ww/eu/university/cd-rom/c5000.zip from TI University Program is not active. The other ROMs (From MATLAB and SIMULINK to Real Time... and C6000 Teaching ROM) can be downloaded.
Is it possible to get still the C5000 Teaching ROM content?
BTW, I am starting with the eZDSP USB stick for C5515 and would like to make a SPL meter using A-weighting filtering and True-RMS measurement.
Did you see any similar project examples?
Thanks for help!
Hi Krzysztof,
Here is the correct link to the EU University Teaching ROMs: http://www.ti.com/ww/eu/university/roms.html
The Teaching ROM has labs for FIR, IIR, multirate filters, FFTs, and MATLAB examples but it does not have coefficients or the algorithms for A-weighting or efficient RMS.
Neat project, for A-weighting do you plan to use IIR, biquads, or maybe FFT?
Also the DSPLIB has sum of squares of a vector (power) and square root of a vector functions.
Hello Mark,
thanks for your answer. I have downloaded the exaples. Looks very helpful, just starting play with.
I don't know yet what type of filtering I will use for A-weighting curve. I will try first with a FIR. If there will be not enough of memory/time will try IIR. I have to note, I'm just start the adventure with the DSP, so I'm greenhorn in this :-) Any help is welcome.
We have been making great progress with our audio effects processor project thanks to all your help. I was curious if you could help us out with our most recent issue. We are using a resistive touch pad to alter filter parameters on our DSP. We have been working with this touch pad controller for the past couple of weeks and we would like to communicate data from our touch pad controller to the C5535 using i2c communication. In order for us to verify whether or not our touch pad controller is working correctly, we would like to write data from it to our DSP using i2c and then read the data to confirm that it is in fact working. Are there any good pieces of demo code that spell out how to do this i2c writing and reading? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again,
Hi Mike & Mike,
I would reuse the usbstk5505_i2c.c and usbstk5505_i2c.h files included with the teaching ROM materials. USBSTK5505_I2C_read() and USBSTK5505_I2C_write() may need to be modified based on the data format of your I2C device.
Do you have a datasheet to check the I2C data format?
The AIC3204 codec and the OLED (Chapter 20) are configured with I2C commands, so you can study the code for these devices, and modify it to work with your device.
For I2C peripheral details, see Chapter 9 of the C5535 Technical Reference Manual.
Hi Mark,
We have been able to use the C5535 to communicate with our resistive touchpad using i2c communication. We are using the functions USBSTK5505_I2C_read() and USBSTK5505_I2C_write(). One issue that has come up is that using the USBSTK5505_I2C_read() to read coordinate data from our resistive touchpad has somehow been interfering with the use of the audio codec. Included below is our code. We are just simply trying to use the coordinate data from the resistive touchpad to attenuate the output signals, kind of like a volume control pad. Upon commenting out both the read and the write we were able to hear our sound signals pass through the system fine. After reintroducing the write commands we are still able to hear our sound signals pass through the system. Upon reintroducing the read command our sound signal does not pass through the system well. We essentially get a extremely incoherent noisy signal. Is there a certain way we should be using this read function in order to not interrupt the use of the audio codec?
Thank you,

Some of -- take a look at the interest rate on fifteen year fixed rate mortgages all time low two point 97%.
Now that's enticing a little bit lot of people refinance and try to pay off their mortgages and half the conventional study -- time -- on a second.
May not be a great idea so says this man is joining us today at -- Streisand with -- national bank.
Finally let's deal with the fifteen year fixed rate mortgages.
You say do not refi into a fifteen year fixed even though it's an all time low right.
Make -- case.
First of -- it's expensive.
Second of all there alternatives the alternatives over five or seven or ten year adjustable.
Rate would be -- probably the same as the fifteen year but to be amortized over thirty year period time.
Most people I think that the fifteen years attractive because it's on the reach -- -- of the the amount to -- -- if not the cost is very excessive.
-- -- what would you say the cost is very excess it will come giving example -- 24/7 to 4171000.
Dollar mortgage -- a fifteen year programs thousand dollars more per month.
Then -- thirty affects most people over near homes anywhere from five to ten years the basis for the fifteen year program is a is they get tenure.
All right -- so you'll compared to fifteen year fixed to the thirtieth yes I'm not a good relationship that director of the better than that comes in their cost a cut now use.
Fall -- to get into what a fine view a five year adjustable seven year adjustable what's the right I'll find you just to enhance.
Two and a half percent and so you can -- in two and a half percent.
For it for five years fixed and then there are limits on how high it can go after five years that's correct -- one -- that's about a deal.
-- was what happens that most people will refinance mortgage and anywhere from five to ten years.
So that up okay so they're not going to be in that moment -- be your mortgage to the point wet it's refinance -- quickly -- -- is adjusted upward.
It's also happens -- fifteen years is the most expensive and probably the least conservative mortgage that there -- although it seems if it's it's the safest.
People if let's let's take the situation of someone.
Experiences financial.
Problem right what are they gonna do with that point didn't have very expensive mortgage.
And they could have had less expensive -- OK now do you agree that home prices are still falling it depends on location I understand that but through much of the country home -- still edging down.
And mortgage rates are still edging down so I would death was saying maybe waited a couple of weeks what he -- -- a I think it depends upon your individual circumstances around the time just so good right now than if you're not divine mode you should be.
Not in a violent you should.
I can't think of another time when -- was so affordable.

I think I think it has a much greater -- That the problems much greater that -- whole political environment that's their right -- dictating you know what people are doing people -- Nobody is secure with their jobs so what to -- I just got -- of this two and a half a -- on five year adjustable that's your right right.

Reading Strategies
Comparing and Contrasting
The strategy of comparing and contrasting actively engages students in giving definition to and refining concepts and information, which in turn bolsters comprehension and retention and leads to successful learning across the curriculum.
Connecting to Prior Knowledge
Connecting to prior knowledge underpins comprehension. Readers who are able to connect their prior knowledge to what they are learning will make links that give meaning to the content.
Determining Importance
By determining importance, readers are able to bring order to the information and ideas they encounter at every turn of the page. Once readers can determine the big ideas and important facts, they can concentrate on what is crucial to their understanding.
Making Inferences
Our students make inferences when they create meaning or draw a conclusion that isn't directly stated in the text. Teaching our students to make inferences helps them to discover deeper meaning in the texts they read and to make logical predictions.
Predicting is an active process that engages students in thinking about what they are reading and sets the stage for what they are going to read.
Setting a Purpose
Like adjusting a microscope, setting a purpose helps readers focus in on relevant information. Setting a purpose is especially important in nonfiction readingthe kind of reading most prevalent in school and life.
Summarizing is a true badge of understanding. When we teach our students to summarize, they are able to pick out the essential points and organize ideas sequentially, showing that they understand both the substance and the essence of what they are reading.
Visualizingcreating pictures in the mind while readingis a skill that fosters comprehension by helping students perceive and retain what they are reading, and proficiency in this skill is what makes reading a pleasure!

Works very well and is long lasting.
I absolutely love this brow marker. I use to use a pencil but this is much better. It gives my brows a natural look. I have patchy areas and this product works great to add color in some spots while enhancing others. I love it. By the way, it's long lasting and won't rub off.

Steam Name: Cogajon
Posted by BAZOOKA_TROOPA on Sep 17th, 2012
Ok, I'll admit this game really isn't that bad. The graphics are good for 2005 and I guess the storyline is intriguing. BUT there are still things I want to rant about. Now some people might think that this is FINALLY a continuation of the original Quake and Quake 2 storylines, right? THINK AGAIN. The only thing even RELATED to Quake is the name, QUAKE 4. The storyline is COMPLETELY different. Also MULTIPLAYER IS BROKEN. It's EXACTLY the same as Quake 3 and Quake Live with the exception that the graphics are more up-to-date for 2005. They didn't even bother to change the sound FX in multiplayer! And they swear WAY TOO MUCH for NO REASON AT ALL. For example, on this part that I'm stuck on (near the beginning) this guy says "Ain't this just f***ing sweet? Hold up a minute... Hold up..." ALL HE NEEDS TO SAY IS "Hey let me open this door!" IT WOULD HAVE SAVED TIME, MONEY, AND PEOPLE PLAYING THE GAME! Also, the puzzles are too vague. The only time NPCs help you by telling you what you need to do is when IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. When there's something like a tiny little button that you can barely see the NPC walks up to it and say "Try to find a way to open this door!" When what would've been much easier would be to say "Hey look! A button! Let's push it!" I was very dissapointed with my purchase. I mean, it's OK. Not worth 20 bucks. I'd say get it when it's on sale and if you are a big Bethesda/ Id fan. Not great, but OK.

Tigers drop pair to Anderson
March 3, 2007
March 4, 2007, Danville, Ky. - DePauw dropped to 0-4 on the season after dropping a doubleheader to Anderson in games played at Centre College. Anderson won the first game by an 8-0 score and the nightcap, 2-0, in eight innings.
Anderson pitchers Eric Smith and Evan McClain held DePauw to just four hits and banged out 13 themselves in the 8-0 win. The Ravens scored one in the second, two in the fourth, three in the fifth and two in the seventh for the win. Adam Ford suffered the loss and dropped to 0-1.
In the nightcap, the teams battled through seven scoreless innings before Anderson scored a pair of unearned runs in the eighth for the win. Chris Newman had the Tigers' lone hit and Jeremy Alland suffred the loss despite allowing just four hits and striking out seven with no walks.

Best Scotch EVER
So I'm sipping a glass of Balvenie 12yr DoubleWood, and I'm thinking: I remember when I bought this bottle I had heard so many good things about the liquid inside... then upon tasting it... Meh... Not bad, but not great. About what I shouda expected for the price ($46ish)
But having had a few sips now, it's got me thinking... What is the best Single Malt Scotch you whisky.com'ers have ever had the pleasure of tasting?? Did you own the bottle? How much is/was a bottle of this special dram? Was it young? Was it uber old? What'd it taste like? Tell us the story if you'd like... I'll go first For me there are three which are close to my heart, and as much as I'd like to pick a #1, it's too close to call, so in no particular order... Ardbeg Uigeadail ($100) I've had a few bottles (but I shared the crap outta them ) It's like being at the best camp fire ever, and there's an Angel there, peeing on my tounge. Laugh if you want, but it is that good. I (like my DoubleWood) had heard many good things about this Scotch, and no in depth description did it justice. It's that good. Anyone else tried it? Bruichladdich Yellow Submarine WMDII ($80) I have four unopened bottles currently, and have assisted in killing several more. No real peat at all. Just fruit. Red fruits. Strawberries. Lot's and lot's of em... There's some raspberries there too, but they're in the background playing with the cherries. A great summer drink. Bought it after I heard/saw the story on youtube. Was far better than I expected. Too bad it's at the end of its run *sniff sniff* So that's me. Let's hear yours. And while we're at it: What is the worst you've tasted?? I mean the absolute worst?? I will never again taste a drop of the Bowmore 12yr. I found it just awful. But that's just me (Loved their 10yr Tempest though). |

American actor and director Philip Seymour Hoffman has gained recognition for his work in a series of successful films including Scent of a Woman, Boogie Nights, The Big Lebowski and Capote, for which he won an Academy Award. He is also a successful theater actor and director, winning three Tony Award nominations for True West, Long Day's Journey into Night and Death of a Salesman.
I try to live my life in such a way that I don't have profound regrets. That's probably why I work so much.
Early Life
The second of four children, Hoffman grew up in Rochester, New York. His father worked for Xerox and his mother was a lawyer. His mother liked to take him to see local theatrical productions. Hoffman was especially moved by the play All My Sons, which he saw when he was twelve. "When I saw 'All My Sons,' I was changed—permanently changed—by that experience. It was like a miracle to me," he later told The New York Times.
At first Hoffman was more interesting in athletics than acting. But he turned to theater after he was sidelined by a wrestling injury in his teens. At 17, Hoffman was accepted into the New York State Summer School of the Arts. He continued to study acting at New York University.
Acting Career
In 1992, Hoffman had one of his first major film roles in Scent of a Woman opposite Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell. His career began to take off, and he landed a number of supporting or character parts in such films as Nobody's Fool (1994) with Paul Newman, Twister (1996) with Bill Paxton and Boogie Nights (1997) with Julianne Moore. Hoffman worked with a variety of directors from Ethan and Joel Coen on The Big Lebowski (1998) to Todd Solondz on Happiness (1998).
With his ability to be convincing nearly any part, Hoffman played a snide, upper-crust bully in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) starring Jude Law and Matt Damon and a male nurse to an ailing, eldery man (Jason Robards) in Magnolia (1999). The following year, Hoffman showed his versatility as a performer on the Broadway stage. He appeared in a revival of Sam Shepard's True West with John C. Reilly. The two actors switched playing parts every other night. Both he and Reilly received a Tony Award nomination for their work.
In 2005, Hoffman had a career breakthrough with the film Capote. He played famed writer Truman Capote during the time he was working on his nonfiction bestseller In Cold Blood about the 1959 killing of a Kansas family. Hoffman threw himself into the role, after some initial trepidation. ''I knew that it would be great, but I still took the role kicking and screaming,'' Hoffman told The New York Times. ''Playing Capote took a lot of concentration. I prepared for four and a half months. I read and listened to his voice and watched videos of him on TV." All of his hard work paid off. Hoffman earned widespread praise for the film, including taking home the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Since Capote, Hoffman has been on a roll—both on the silver screen and the stage. He received Academy Award nominations for his supporting roles in Charlie Wilson's War (2007) and Doubt (2008). In Doubt, Hoffman tackled the challenging role of a priest who may or may not have had an inappropriate relationship with a young male student at a Catholic school.

Oscar-Winning Portrayals
Truth is often more fascinating than fiction. Since the beginning of movies, actors have been portraying figures from history and bringing them to life on screen. Mastering the well-known mannerisms and characteristics of real world figures can be more challenging than portraying a fictional character. Enormous amounts of research and drastic physical transformations are not uncommon for actors wanting to properly inhabit their role on film. Whether playing a scheming Queen, a country singer, a temperamental boxer, or a pioneering writer, those performers who can accurately play the part often find Oscar gold as their reward. Here are the Academy Award-winning actors, and the larger-than-life people they portrayed.

In the sunny afternoons of the last days, there's nothing better to do than a walk outdoors! For the outfit I chose bright colors and certainly much spring as the white and pink. I also wanted to give an extra touch of color with a pink scarf used to tie my hair, inspired by spring / summer 2011 fashion show of Blugirl. What do you think?
PS. Stasera dalle 8 sarò al Cubo Glam di Tradate e parteciperò in qualità di giuria allo Swap Party! Se siete della zona venite :)

Casablanca Twist
An interesting twist on the old Moroccan Mint tea, which traditionally combines Gunpowder tea from China with fresh peppermint. We kept the latter, and replaced the smoky notes of Gunpowder with the muscatel highlights of a First Flush Darjeeling from India. The result is fresher, smoother and – we hope you'll agree – a nice improvement on the original.

LOVE this rocker!!

from The Sunshine State
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Toys R Us 1001153 Royal Princess Rocker:
I purchased this as well as the matching toy box and jewelry chest for my daughter who is turning 3 in a week. She loves this chair and it looks great in her room. Everything was also so easy to assemble. Levels of Discovery is the only company I have found that sort hardware into separate numbered compartments that correspond to the step number in the instruction booklet. The company also does an impeccable job packing their products. The final result is not only beautiful, but very sturdy. It is rather large and my daughter needs a little help getting into the chair, which is a plus as she can use it for many years to come. I also liked that the chair came with a statement from the company saying they constantly test their products for toxic chemicals which gives me a greater peace of mind. I agree with another reviewer that the cushions are a bit thin, however, most wooden rocking chairs for children do not come with cushions, so I feel it is just an added bonus. I have no doubt this beautiful chair will give us many years of enjoyment.

Fit for a princess
By MaddiesMom
from Syrcuse, NY
About Me Stylish
This is adorable! The seat under the cushion is cute and the personalization on the bottom makes it a keepsake. We have had no problems with breaking or anything and putting it together was a piece of cake. Yes, it is pricey but it easily fits a child up to 8 years or so, you'll get your use out of it. The only downer is i wish the cushion was a better material.

Julia Orayen's star is shooting straight to the sky and we're gladly hanging onto this brunette vixen, because with a body like that, and the wiles to get herself the talk of the nation by staging her cleavetastic on national television, she's one complete package of a woman.
