WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12
October 20, 2005
Whoa! No less authorities than the Pacific Business News, Honolulu Advertiser and Honolulu Star-Bulletin—all of which have reported many, many times that the wholesale gasoline price cap will never work—are reporting today that this coming Monday, gas prices should drop 44 cents in Hawai'i. Incredible. "This is a very good sign that the law is working as intended," House Majority Leader Marcus Oshiro told PBN. Unbelievable. The reason for this wonderful change, should it actually come to pass? "Recent decreases in mainland oil markets," reported the Star-Bulletin. Astonishing. Imagine that—once the insanity and carnage caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ends, the price cap actually starts working.
THURSDAY, Oct. 13
Good news everyone: The Maui News is reporting today that all work on the Kaheawa wind farm over by McGregor Point has resumed. It stopped because state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) inspectors found that construction practices weren't up to specs. And with a big storm on the way a couple weekends ago, they were afraid runoff would tumble rocks and whatnot onto the Pali and the reef below. But now, according to the News, everything's back on track and work on the windmills has begun again. The only problem with the story is that it's pretty much incomprehensible to anyone who just reads The Maui News, because the News never reported that the DLNR had ordered a work stoppage at the wind farm site in the first place. In fact, just one paper reported that little revelation, and it was the one you're reading right now (see Cheryl Ambrozic-Mooz's "Tilting at Windmills" in our Oct. 6, 2005 issue).
FRIDAY, Oct. 14
There's a big run at Bankruptcy Courts all across the country this weekend, according to today's Advertiser. A record 102,863 Americans—up from an average of 30,000—fell over themselves last week trying to declare bankruptcy before new draconian rules take effect on Oct. 17. Those rules, signed by President George W. Bush in April, make it all but impossible for regular-type working people to declare themselves insolvent and get out of crushing debt. Why would Bush do such a thing you might ask? Well, mostly because the already fantastically wealthy bankers and credit card companies wanted him to, and they're, as he's so eloquently described, his "base." Thank God Bush, in his infinite wisdom, decreed that big corporations like Aloha Airlines can still declare bankruptcy and dump thousands of employee pensions onto the federal government, where loyal workers who spent decades at Aloha will be rewarded with about half of the retirement money they were promised was coming.
SATURDAY, Oct. 15
Maui residents seem to like to recycle stuff. Lots of them are turning in their old glass bottles, so much so that local recycling industry guys are having trouble keeping up. "We have just been expanding like crazy," Aloha Glass Recycling President Tom Reed says in today's Maui News. Plastic bottles, too. In January of this year, people turned in 862,111 plastic bottles to get their nickel deposits back. By June, that number had soared to 7.16 million. These are especially astounding numbers considering that recycling on Maui is kind of difficult. There's no island-wide curbside program but people are, on their own, saving their bottles and cans and hauling them to redemption centers. For recycling advocates, this is all great news, except that the county wants to build a giant trash incinerator in Central Maui that would pretty much negate whatever recycling habits we're currently nurturing. There are people driving around with bags full of plastic bottles trying to help out, and the county still insists on dragging its feet on curbside recycling. Oh, if only recycling required a massive facility with a huge price tag that required 30-year bonds to pay off and the risk of municipal bankruptcy. We'd be recycling like there was no tomorrow.
SUNDAY, Oct. 16
Flush with excitement over stronger than expected voting in yesterday's big constitution vote throughout Iraq, the U.S. military went and bombed 70 Iraqis into oblivion, more than half of which appear to be innocent civilians. Nice to see our desire to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is as strong as ever.
MONDAY, Oct. 17
Halloween is fast approaching, and you know what that means! That's right—the first anniversary of the sailboat Dolphin wedging itself onto the reef a few yards off Front Street in Lahaina! Oh what a magical time it was: owner drinking with a million other people in town as a south swell churned just off shore not long after the steel-hull Dolphin—which the owner had just bought and wanted to rename the Technicolor Dreamboat—dragged its anchor and ended up parked on the reef. And there it's sat ever since. But not for long, according to today's Maui News, which says state officials want to pull the 20-ton boat off the reef and sink it off Puamana Beach Park with the old Carthaginian II. It sounds optimistic, but they want the ship underwater sometime around the end of the year. While great for scuba divers, this will leave Lahaina Harbor with no great ship to gaze at—no rotting Carthaginian and no wrecked Dolphin.
TUESDAY, Oct. 18
Boy, I thought those sharpies over at Aloha Airlines had everything under control: declare bankruptcy and dump their 3,000 employee pensions into the loving arms of the U.S. Treasury, then everything will be fine. Apparently not—today's Associated Press story says Aloha also wants to void all its labor contracts. One of the reasons Aloha is trying to balance its books on the backs of its employees? "Fuel has gone up $1 a gallon since we began our discussions with the union," said Aloha spokesman Stu Glauberman. Yeah, those rising gas prices will get you every time except here on Maui! Dude, they're down to $3.33 a gallon! Yeah, prices dropped last night, just like the state legislature said. It's so surreal—when I look at the gas station signs, I almost feel like I fell into a time warp and woke up in June.

Lanreotide as Primary Treatment for Acromegalic Patients With Pituitary Gland Macroadenoma (PRIMARYS)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Acromegaly is a chronic disease caused by excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH) and mainly due to benign tumour localized in the pituitary gland.
The disease develops insidiously, causing a gradual progression of symptoms; consequently most patients are diagnosed in their fourth decade of life.
Administration of somatostatin analogues such as lanreotide have been shown to result in normalisation or the decrease of GH and IGF-1 levels and improvement of clinical symptoms in acromegalic patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether lanreotide is also effective on tumour volume reduction (tumour shrinkage) and the benefits of this potential tumour shrinkage on disease symptoms and patient's quality of life.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Acromegaly |
Drug: Lanreotide autogel 120 mg |
Phase 3 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Phase IIIb, Multicentre, Open-label, Single-arm, Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Lanreotide Autogel 120 mg Administered Every 28 Days as Primary Medical Treatment in Acromegalic Patients With Macroadenoma |
- The primary efficacy endpoint will be the percentage of patients achieving reduction in tumor volume at V5 (at Week 48) in comparison to baseline (as measured by MRI) [ Time Frame: From W1 (baseline) to W48. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change of serum IGF-1 level and serum GH levels [ Time Frame: At W1, 12, 24 & 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Changes of prolactin level in patients with initially increased prolactin level (at screening) [ Time Frame: At each assessment (W12, 24 & 48). ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Change of clinical signs of acromegaly [ Time Frame: At each assessment visit at W12,24 &48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Changes in the quality of life assessment [ Time Frame: At each assessment visit at W12, 24 & 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Adverse events and local tolerability information [ Time Frame: Recorded at any time during the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Vital signs [ Time Frame: Recorded at each assessment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Physical examination findings [ Time Frame: Recorded at each assessment ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Gallbladder ultrasound [ Time Frame: Assessed at screening and W48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Laboratory tests: standard haematology and biochemistry analyses [ Time Frame: At W1 and W48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Glucose tolerance based on fasting blood glucose [ Time Frame: At W12, 24 & 48 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Enrollment: | 108 |
Study Start Date: | May 2008 |
Study Completion Date: | February 2012 |
Primary Completion Date: | February 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: Lanreotide autogel 120 mg |
Drug: Lanreotide autogel 120 mg
12 months
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient has given written informed consent prior to any study related procedures
- The patient is male or female and is aged between 18 and 75 years, inclusive,
- Diagnosis of acromegaly defined by i) GH nadir > 1 ng/mL as assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test for non diabetic patients (central laboratory results) or a mean GH level > 1 ng/mL based on 5 samples taken every 10 to 15 minutes for diabetic patients ( central laboratory results) AND ii) IGF-1 concentrations elevated above the age- and sex-matched normal range for diabetic and non diabetic patients (central laboratory results),
- The patient has a pituitary adenoma with a diameter greater than or equal to 10 mm based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) central reading,
The patient has no visual field defect identified at the visual evaluation, performed by Goldman Visual Fields Analyser and Automated visual field static perimeter, except visual field abnormality at the time of screening and that is in the investigator's Clinical judgement:
- Not related to the pituitary adenoma
- Clinically stable condition not presumed to change during the study period
- Not modifying the ability to evaluate visual field changes related to the macroadenoma
Exclusion Criteria:

Works great wirelessly
By bmwest6569
from Undisclosed
Comments about Samsung 2.1 Channel Sound Bar System with Wireless Subwoofer:
I purchased this along with my Samsung 55-inch LED TV - UN55F7100 and Samsung 3D Blu-Ray player. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to connect this sound bar wirelessly to the TV. There is a slight delay when the TV is turned on before the sound bar connects, but it is not in my opinion worth running an extra cable to prevent. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

It was wroking Great, but not now
By PhoenixMD
from Maryland
I bought this soundbar to go with my 60in Samsung LED TV. The sound is very good but not great. It is much better than just the regular TV, but not as good as true surround sound. At first I used the optical line, but that required using 2 remotes. I then connected it with sound share, and that worked well, but then the TV updated itself with new firmware in August. Now the TV no longer works with the soundshare.
Love It
By Anonymous
from Tyler, Tx
The sound is wonderful and spectacular and also the level of intensity that it changes movies just by the difference of volume between standard TV and the sound bar.

great item at a great pricesub woofer sounds great no matter where in the room i put it
Decent for price
By alncmu82
This product has been quite good but there seems to be limited options in terms of EQ. The presets are not very good and most of the cinematic effects/settings just sound clouded.
Great boost to TV Sound Quality
By PixelPopper

My TV sound quality wasn't bad to start with but this little system gave it quite a good boost in quality. Great value!
sounds great.

Picked up a month ago. Sounds great for the area purchased for.
I Like It!
By Tammyc2
from Union Grove AL.
I want to see if this review meets there criteria this time. I still think that the outside of the box needs to let you know what cables you will need to purchase to hook this to your TV. i.e.( Optical Cable) Not included in the box.
Great Product
By ChowDog
I got this soundbar about 3 months ago and haven't regretted it one bit. I have a Samsung Smart TV and the speakers on the TV left a lot to be desired so I started looking. I read reviews and looked at a lot of different systems but decided on this one since I didn't want a lot of speakers, just something to enhance the sound of the TV plus it was a Samsung. What a HUGE difference this made!! Great sound for my needs and quite a few settings to get any sound you need from either watching TV or listening to music. Wireless connection worked good and I haven't had any problems at all. I highly recommend this soundbar for those looking to upgrade the sound from their TV speakers, you won't regret it either!
Awesome sound bar

Committed to excellence in teaching and scholarship
for our students
Dedicated to enlightenment and enrichment of our communities
Devoted to freedom from ignorance and intolerance in
our societies
More than just changing or transforming those who seek to learn and to know, education lifts us from ignorance, gives us something to live for, and empowers us with the knowledge of how to fulfill our potential as human beings. As the president of Trinity College points out, students vie for the limited placements in the freshman class at Ivy League schools because, The best undergraduate education for the 21st Century will be based on a liberal education that produces an individual who is intentional about learning and life, empowered, informed, and responsible (Greater Expectations National Panel Report, page 25).
The humanities and social sciences are the heart and the soul and the mind and spirit of the University, for humanities and social sciences are the core liberal arts from which all education inevitably derives. In the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS), we teach students how to think and to reason, how to read and to write, how to speak and how to persuade. We hold the keys to understanding how human beings behave and act and feel and accomplish; how humans create and perform and expound and aspire. We impart, ultimately, when it means to be human and wherein life has its meaning.
These are not just words to inspire our students to excel. These are our raison dêtre. A true liberal arts education is a lifeline, and the core liberal arts are the fibers from which that lifeline is spun. Whether born to privilege or poverty, students who enroll in H&SS can be confident they will receive an education which engages them as active participants in the process, so they become lifelong learners, ready to meet changing professional and personal opportunities, gifted with autonomy and self-determination.
First and foremost, education must strive for excellence among all participants and at all levels. Aristotles observation is our guide: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is a habit, not a virtue. To make a habit of excellence, a system of education must recognize and reward success wherever it occurs, not only via grand events such as commencement and honors convocation, but in the quotidian achievements that build toward these culminating celebrations. To achieve excellence, we must embrace change, ever seeking new ways to improve student learning and faculty professional development. Providing multiple avenues for learning also models for our students how they can then continue educating themselves long after they have left the university.
More powerful than technology, more far-reaching than the Internet, is the fire within. The commitment and dedication and passion of those who seek to discover and impart truth-the faculty-are the keys to excellence. The faculty in H&SS are both outstanding and diverse, encouraging us to be expansive and inclusive in all we do. We seek to make this university a universe of cultures, perspectives, values, and lifestyles, all the rich panoply of human endeavor and experience. The multiplicity of our accomplishments is directly tied to the multiplicity of strengths available only through welcoming the best qualified individuals from all backgrounds to participate as equal partners in our grand venture.
Each of us adds a new dimension to the university--our individual values, our vision, our personality, our accomplishments, and our preferences. Each of us brings a different sample of the world with us. All of us come from different places--from around the world and from virtually every state in this grand and majestic union. We bring with us this richness of our culture to this place and this time so that a university--a universe of perspectives and dimensions--so that a university might arise and thrive. We are all part of a vast continuum, a splendid panoply of exuberant creation, and share the deep bond of humanity. And humanity has its most profound roots in what William Faulkner calls the old verities of the human heart-compassion and love, courage, honor, truth, and self-sacrifice.
Education is simultaneously a most singular and most collaborative endeavor. No one can learn for another; the transfer of knowledge from one to another, whether individual or generation, requires tough, tender, sometimes agonizing work. It can be lonely, exhausting, frustrating, and we will not beguile our students with promises of making learning fun. The joy of learning is far more transcendent than fun; the insights, the moments of epiphany, come at high cost and are ever so much worth the effort.
As much as learning is singular, it is also collaborative. The proverb, One hand cannot wash itself clear; it needs the help of the other, states simply and clearly a fundamental truth of education. No one makes it alone; we all need the help of the other. Thus, enthusiastic collaboration by all facets of a university is essential for the most profound learning to take place at the highest level of excellence.
Our advance is sure, if not swift, when we direct our efforts toward our common purpose of providing our students the very best education possible. True collaboration recognizes the value each participant contributes to the process. The key is collegiality, collegiality framed upon mutual respect. The interchange of ideas and competing agenda may become untidy at times, perhaps even rough-and-tumble, but it can remain positive and productive when we bear in mind our common purpose and respect the positions of all, especially those with whom we disagree. Working together we can scale heights unattainable by individual effort. With passion and commitment and purpose, we can achieve all that we dare to dream.

The 30 best credit cards for summer
Whether you need to improve your credit rating, pay off existing debt or fancy earning some cashback, these are the top credit cards to go for this summer.
My calendar tells me that we are halfway through June, meaning (allegedly) we are now into the summer season.
Much as we may like to dream wistfully of beaches, fish and chips and ice cream, the most important thing to look forward to is being free of debt. And by making a smart credit card choice, you can do just that.
The best cards if you've got big spending coming up
Perhaps you have a wedding or baby on the way. Or perhaps you are taking advantage of the let up in the rain to do some home improvements.
Undoubtedly the best way for pay for such expenses is to make use of you savings. However, if that's not an option, then a credit card offering 0% on your purchases is your next best bet. The top cards in this category offer more than a year of interest-free credit, allowing you a fair bit of time to pay off your debt in manageable chunks.
Below are the nine fee-free credit cards offering the longest 0% periods on purchases:
Credit card |
0% period |
NatWest Your Points MasterCard |
18 months |
RBS YourPoints MasterCard |
18 months |
Tesco Clubcard Credit Card |
16 months |
15 months |
M&S Money MasterCard |
15 months |
14 months |
Virgin Money MasterCard |
13 months |
12 months |
Sainsbury's Shopper MasterCard* | 12 months |
*You must have a Nectar card to apply
The best cards if you already have credit card debt
For many of us, the interest charged on our credit card debt is already hurting. According to Credit Action, the average borrower owed £4,219 in April on a combination of credit cards, motor and retail finance, overdrafts and unsecured loans.
So if you've got a chunk of debt already on a credit card, a quick and (relatively) cheap way to pay it off is to make use of a credit card charging 0% interest on balance transfers.
Much like 0% purchase cards, a 0% balance transfer card allows you to pay off your debt in bits, free from the worry of interest adding to your debt. You will have to pay a fee to move that debt over on to the balance transfer card though.
Below are the eight cards offering the longest 0% periods on balance transfers:
Credit card |
0% period |
Balance transfer fee |
23 months |
3.3% |
22 months |
2.9% |
22 months |
3.5% |
22 months |
3.2% |
RBS Platinum | 22 months | 3.2% |
21 months |
2.6% |
20 months |
3% |
20 months |
3.1% |
*Existing current account holders only
The best cards if you've got a poor credit history
When we first started dating, my wife used to read women's magazines with features about 'getting in shape for summer'. I've no idea about managing that physically, but it's certainly possible to get your finances into better shape by next summer, even if your credit history is on the patchy side.
Creditbuilder credit cards allow you to do just that. They limit how much credit you have access to, but use them properly and your record will start to look far better.
Some of the best cards in this area include the Barclaycard Initial, the Capital One Classic, the Vanquis Bank Visa and the SAV Credit Aqua MasterCard.
For a full rundown of what these cards offer, check out Top credit cards for poor credit. You should also read How to build an excellent credit history for more tips on getting your credit record in shape.
The best cards if you pay your bill off in full each month
What if you have a good credit history already, and don't need a year or more in which to pay off any credit card debt?
If you pay your bill off in full each month, going for a card which actively rewards your spending is a smart move.
Perhaps your best option is to go for a cashback credit card. You'll earn back a percentage of your spending in cold, hard cash to do with as you please! There are three main cards to consider. Both the American Express Platinum Cashback and the Capital One Aspire World cards offer 5% cashback in the first three months. After that the American Express offers a flat rate of 1.25%, while the Capital One offers tiered rates of up to 1.25%, depending on how much you spend.
Alternatively, you may want to go for a card that offers reward points towards something. I use the Tesco Clubcard credit card so that I can collect more Clubcard points. The Sainsbury's Nectar credit card does the same with the Nectar scheme, while the AA credit card allows you to save money on car products. For more rewards cards worth a look, read The credit cards that reward spending.
The best credit cards for next summer
Money is tight, so you may be skipping a summer holiday this year. Or perhaps you're having a staycation like I am.
However, there are credit cards which reward your spending with travel miles towards next year's holiday. Put all of your spending on them, and by next summer, your flight and hotel may be almost entirely taken care of!
The official Avios scheme (what used to be Airmiles) has the Lloyds Duo cards. You get both a MasterCard and an American Express card, meaning you can rack up miles even when spending in shops that don't accept an American Express.
British Airways has its own American Express card, offering Avios miles in return for your spending, while Virgin Atlantic has the White Card and the Black Card, so if you only ever fly Virgin, these are worth a look.
We took a look at some more holiday-related credit cards in The credit cards that reward spending.
As with the general rewards cards discussed above, these cards are only suitable for people that pay off their bill in full each month. Otherwise the interest you pay on your outstanding balances will soon be more than the value of the rewards!

MANATEE COUNTY — When children are taken from their homes and put into an emergency shelter, they often come with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
Manatee Children's Services, a nonprofit that has assisted abused and neglected children for more than 30 years, uses every resource it can to provide for the children it serves.
And starting June 1, Manatee residents can pitch in to help the organization while purchasing a chance to own a valuable piece of real estate.
A $50 ticket gives you a chance to win a three bedroom, two-bathroom house in The Harborage on Braden River. The home features more than 2,100 square feet of living space, a two-car garage and lanai as well as access to a community pool, fishing pier and observation deck, among other amenities.
"We are so grateful to be a part of this, and it certainly is a testimony to the good in our community," MCS CEO Melinda Thompson said. "We live among folks who really do care, and they want to help."
The effort is being led by Bradenton resident Mary Burns, who started Dream House Charity last year as a way to combine her passion for children and vision for fundraising. The organization raffles off one donated home each year specifically to benefit Manatee Children's Services.
"I thought with real estate so bad, that it would help someone else to be able to pay off their mortgage and give the proceeds to benefit their charity," Burns said.
If a minimum in ticket sales is not met, the drawing turns in to a 50/50 raffle. Last year's campaign raised about $4,500 for Manatee Children's Services.
Burns said she picked the charity out of 185 registered nonprofits because of its wide variety of services. MCS has 11 child abuse and prevention programs, including emergency shelter, parenting classes, abuse prevention workshops, mental health services and group homes for children in foster care.
"They reach out to the ones that no one else wants," Burns said. "They do so much."
MCS is funded through federal, state and local government, United Way and private donations. About 18,000 children and adults are served through its programs each year.
The raffle for the house will last through June 1, 2010. Tickets are available through the Web site, www.dreamhousecharityfl.com, or by completing a form available at Manatee Children's Services, 453 Cortez Road W., Bradenton.
Contact Pam McTeer at email@example.com.
WHEN: June 1, 2009 through June 1, 2010
COST: $50 per ticket
PRIZE: A three-bedroom home in The Harborage at Braden River (If minimum ticket sales are not met, the fundraiser goes to a 50/50 raffle)

Maverick: The Comstock Conspiracy
In Virginia City, Bret (James Garner) makes the acquaintance of Alex Jennings (played by future "Colonel Klink" Werner Klemperer, a slightly addled mining engineer. Agreeing to help Alex in his mission to improve the working conditions for local miners, Bret finds himself in a whole heap of trouble--much of it brought about by a man who is supposed to be dead. Among the guest players is the delightful Ruta Lee, who here as elsewhere wields a mighty mean six-shooter when the occasion demands. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Disorder in the Court
Directed by Jack White (under his usual pseudonym of Preston Black), this two-reel courtroom caper is, by many, regarded as the best of the Three Stooges' early comedies. Moe, Larry, and Curly are witnesses in a murder trial involving a dancer (Suzanne Kaaren) from "The Black Bottom Cafe," the club where they work. Curly is called on the stand to explain "Who killed Kirk Robin?" and the rest is pandemonium. Court clerk James C. Morton's toupee is mistaken for a tarantula, a supposedly unloaded revolver kills Moe's boutonniere, the entire courtroom becomes the victim of an errand fire hose, and the real killer is proven to be the hoofer Buck Wing, who in the meantime has shuffled off to Buffalo. Moe and Curly's real-life parents are briefly spotted among the courtroom spectators. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Movie Crazy
Movie Crazy was Harold Lloyd's best-received sound film. It is the semi-autobiographical tale of an idealistic aspiring movie star who exchanges the quiet life in his sleepy Kansas hometown for the glamour and excitement of Tinseltown where he mistakenly believes he has been selected for a screentest. Unfortunately, the test is a series of slapstick bungles. The studio heads busily review the strange audition and while waiting for their verdict, Lloyd falls in love with a pretty actress who unfortunately is totally in costume when they meet. He doesn't recognize her in her street clothes, but still cant help falling in love with her. The actress knows he doesn't recognize her and has some fun with that. Lloyd's success is further assured when the studio moguls sign him up as their newest comedian. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Ladies' Man
A Rupert Hughes novel was the source for this soulless but sophisticated comedy-drama. William Powell is a charming roue who lives off the gifts given to him by lonely married women. In exchange, he escorts them around town (among other services) when their husbands aren't looking. The only woman Powell truly cares about is Kay Francis, who is disgusted by her lover's lifestyle. The daughter (Carole Lombard) of one of Powell's married companions falls for the rakish gentleman--which results in tragedy when Lombard's father seeks revenge for the ruination of his family. Ladies' Man is definitely no relation to the 1961 Jerry Lewis comedy of the same name. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

No Limit
In this fluffy comedy, an innocent usherette falls for a customer whom she finally meets and eventually marries. Soon after the ceremony, she learns that he's a jewel thief about to go to jail. She then moves into a girlfriend's ultra-modern apartment that is really a front for gamblers. Again, the young woman finds herself in real trouble until her hubby is released from jail and comes to her rescue. Happiness ensues. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

City Streets
Never one to hide his talent under a bushel basket, director Rouben Mamoulien proudly proclaimed that, while there were ten killings in his 1931 gangster drama City Streets, the audience never sees any of them. This was not the only innovation in this fascinating early talkie, in which straight-arrow movie hero Gary Cooper is cast as a racketeer known only as The Kid. He has chosen a life of crime out of love for Nan (Sylvia Sidney), the daughter of mob henchman Pop Cooley (Guy Kibbee). Eventually railroaded into prison by her crooked cohorts, Nan implores The Kid to give up the rackets, but he refuses. Things go downhill very rapidly after that, culminating with The Kid and Nan being taken "for a ride" by rival thugs. Cast in a role originally intended for Clara Bow, Sylvia Sidney does a magnificent job and was soon typecast as a downtrodden Depression victim, born with two strikes against her. Conversely, Gary Cooper never again played anything quite like "The Kid." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Trespasser
The Trespasser was Gloria Swanson's first all-talking picture. All talk is right. Swanson plays a humble secretary who marries the son (Robert Ames) of a domineering millionaire (William Holden--no, not that William Holden). The father-in-law bullies Swanson into giving up his son; she agrees to step out of his life, proudly withholding the fact that she's about to become a mother. Later, Swanson enters her ex-husband's social class via an inheritance. Unfortunately, he's remarried to Kay Hammond, who is crippled and thus more needful of the man's love and comfort than self-reliant Swanson. Tearfully, Swanson gives up the man she loves, left only with her child and a bulging bank account. When Trespasser was remade by director Edmund Goulding as That Certain Woman with Bette Davis in 1937, a last-minute happy ending was tacked on--if one can call the death of wife number two a joyous event. As for the original film, Gloria Swanson proved (contrary to the popular belief engendered by Sunset Boulevard) that she could have been just as big a star in talkies as she'd been in silents (she even sings well); unfortunately her subsequent judgment in screenplay selection resulted in a string of flops. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

San Francisco
Add San Francisco to Queue
Add San Francisco to top of Queue
The MGM historical "spectacular" San Francisco was allegedly based on a three-sentence synopsis, submitted verbally to producer B.F. Zeidman by studio troubleshooter Bob Hopkins. The story begins on the Barbary Coast on New Year's Eve, 1906, as rakish but likeable political boss Blackie Norton (Clark Gable) hires demure young singer Mary Blake (Jeanette MacDonald) to perform at his rowdy Paradise gambling house. Local priest Father Mullin (Spencer Tracy), Blackie's best friend, disapproves of the exploitation of the lovely Mary, feeling that she's suited for classier surroundings. Jack Hurley (Jack Holt), Nob Hill socialite and Blackie's political rival, agrees with Father Mullin and offers the girl the opportunity to sing with the San Francisco Opera. Blackie, who's fallen in love with Mary but won't admit it to himself, jealously holds on to her contract, forcing Mary to walk out on him. For the rest of the film, Mary is torn between the "respectable" lifestyle offered her by Hurley and the baser creature comforts provided by Blackie. It looks for a while that Hurley has won out, but fate takes a hand in the form of the devastating San Francisco Earthquake of April 18, 1906 (a special effects tour de force for art directors Arnold Gillespie and his uncredited associate James Basevi). Hurley is killed in the holocaust, while Blackie, desperately searching for Mary in the rubble, at long last finds religion and prays to God for his sweetheart's salvation. At the end, an unidentified bit player shouts defiantly "We'll build a new San Francisco!" -- and by golly, they do! The Hollywood censors were not so much bothered by the sexual subtext of San Francisco or its harrowing earthquake finale as they were by a scene in which Father Mullin is knocked down by an unrepentant Blackie. To "purify" this potentially blasphemous sequence, screenwriter Anita Loos quickly added an earlier scene in which Mullin and Blackie, both dressed in turtleneck sweaters, genially duke it out at an exercise gym, whereupon the priest cold-cocks Blackie with the greatest of ease. By establishing that Mullin could have punched out Blackie, but chooses not to in the controversial later scene, not only allows that scene to pass, but also strengthened the priest's character. San Francisco proved to be one of MGM's biggest hits, remaining in almost constant reissue for the next three decades. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Pack up Your Troubles
Drafted into the army during World War I, those muddled misfits Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy make a shambles of Training Camp before being shipped to France. When their best pal Eddie (Donald Dillaway) is killed in battle, Stan and Ollie vow to locate the grandparents of Eddie's orphaned little daughter (Jacquie Lyn). Unfortunately, the grandparents are named Smith--and they live in New York City. With only a city directory and phone book as their guide, Stan and Ollie undergo several chucklesome misadventures as they scour the canyons of Manhattan to find Mr. and Mrs. Smith. With the orphanage officials hot on their heels, the boys take drastic action to raise enough money to get out of town with the little girl. All turns out well when Eddie's grandfather makes an appearance under the least likely circumstances. But before Laurel & Hardy can enjoy their own happy ending, they cross the path of an old enemy from their army days: a knife-wielding chef with blood in his eye. The second of Laurel & Hardy's feature-length films, Pack Up Your Troubles is, so far as we're concerned (and here we part company with most Laurel & Hardy buffs), infinitely more amusing than their first feature effort, 1931's Pardon Us. Best bit: An overtired Laurel, attempting to tell a bedtime story to the little girl, ends up snoozing away as the kid finishes the story. The powerhouse supporting cast includes such Laurel & Hardy regulars as James Finlayson, Billy Gilbert, Rychard Cramer, Charles Middleton and Charlie Hall. George Marshall, the film's director, proves a mirthsome menace in the small role of the vengeful chef. For years available only in its 62-minute reissue form, Pack Up Your Troubles was restored to its full 68-minute glory in the mid-1980s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Snowball Fight in the West Bank
For the first time in their lifetimes, these teenagers got to enjoy the thrill of a fresh layer of snow
- By Caroline Lacey
- Smithsonian.com, February 25, 2013
(Caroline Lacey)
For Sajida Hattab, a 19-year-old university student in the West Bank, it was the magic of her first snow this past January that marked the day. The Palestinian territory hadn't had snow in years and even when it had, Sajida's family had been on vacation for the winter in Saudi Arabia. The weeks leading up to the snow had been bathed in golden light and a temperature in the high 60s. Snow is unusual in the West Bank and they lack the infrastructure to handle it, so when it came, the city just stopped, and as if in unison, sunk into the playful nature of a small child. No one was immune. Streets became a community where a smile really meant "Can I play with you?" and a "Yes, please" was returned with a snowball to the head.

How GM cars got better
Lutz's memoir gives an insider's view of a dysfunctional culture and counterproductive process.
Even before he rode into General Motors as the product-development savior in 2001, Bob Lutz found himself being recruited for plots to take over the company.
There was Heinz Prechter, the ASC sunroof king who proposed that Lutz and ex-Chrysler executive Steve Miller join with him as a pre-assembled management team to buy shares and get the board to clean out management.
There was J.T. Battenberg, the former GM executive who undertook the thankless and ultimately impossible task of making money at Delphi Corp., … Read more

Sant Bartomeu - Rose Garden |
Valldemossa (in Catalan) or Valldemosa (in Spanish) is a village and municipality on the island of Majorca, part of the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.
Valldemossa is famous for one landmark: the Royal Charterhouse of Valldemossa, built at the beginning of the 14th century, when the mystic and philosopher Ramon Llull lived in this area of Majorca.
In the 1830s the Spanish government confiscated monasteries, and the historic estate was sold to private owners, who have since hosted some prominent guests. These have included the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and the French writer and pioneering feminist George Sand (who wrote a notable account of A Winter in Majorca, describing their 1838–39 visit and praising the island's natural beauty but criticizing what she perceived as the prejudice and vices of the natives).

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Noctua today announced its new NM-I2011 mounting kit for LGA2011. Continuing Noctua's tradition of supplying its customers with SecuFirm2 mountings free of charge, the NM-I2011 kit allows Noctua users to upgrade to Intel's upcoming LGA2011 socket for Core i7-3000 (Sandy Bridge-E) processors. The new mounting is backwards compatible with all Noctua retail coolers since 2005 and will be supplied to Noctua users free of charge after uploading a proof of purchase on the company's website. "We feel that product quality and service quality should always go hand in hand, so we're determined to give the best possible support to our customers. Having provided free mounting upgrades for the last generations of Intel and AMD platforms, we're happy to announce that we will continue this tradition with the NM-I2011 kit for LGA2011", says Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "We always like to think of our coolers as safe long-term investments, and even if you bought one of our first models six years ago, you'll still be able to upgrade it to the latest socket technology free of charge." The NM-I2011 set is backwards compatible with all Noctua retail coolers since 2005 and has been designed to combine outstanding reliability, optimal contact pressure and easy, straightforward installation. Bringing the trusted SecuFirm2 quality to Intel's new LGA2011 platform, NM-I2011 is an enthusiast-grade mounting that meets the highest demands in safety, performance and ease-of-use. The new NM-I2011 kit can be ordered free of charge via Noctua's website. A proof of purchase (photo, scan or screenshot of the invoice) of both a Noctua CPU cooler and either a socket LGA2011 mainboard or socket LGA2011 CPU are required. The new mounting kit will also be available in stores at a low service charge. Availability The NM-I2011 kit can already be ordered on Noctua's website. Orders will ship by end of October. For more information, visit the product page. The order form can be found here.
I think Noctua is making a great move every time they do this, admittedly i don't own anything from them but every time they do this i wish i did.
90 bucks for a cooler that compete's with low end water cooling solutions H60-50 and below. Secondly, there quality. Thirdly, That 90 dollar cooler will last 6+ years. Its the most they can do, and more. Nobody Follow's the trend that noctua has put up, so show some respect.
I do love my noctua cooler that I've got. I'll have to track down my PoP and send it into noctua as I'm heavily contemplating a 2011 build!
I LOVE my Noctua coolers too I'll choose ugly + excellent quality and performance over crap quality or performance + not ugly any day this is good news, if I do find a way to upgrade to a i7 3820 + G1 Sniper 2, I could reuse my NH-U12P if you ever get one its the material and craftsmanship quality and great performance that will keep you as a noctua customer
90 dolar for six year....dude even if u eat only once a day 90dolar wont even last for 2months......i will actually consider buying after noctua cooler after this
Same my next cooler may be a noctua with excellent customer service and customer retention they provide!
If youre talkin about D14 its worth Lol a Noctua fan itself cost you 15-20 bucks I bought U12P SE2 years ago this is great news, I dont have to buy new HSF if I upgrade to LGA2011, Thanks Noctua
Possibly. Had to post pics..the package is very impressive. Even the little note inside is hand-signed. There must be at least several hundred of these packages going out to other users, and for the CEO of a company to hand-sign a note inside every one is stunning. Noctua deserves some recognition for offering this to nearly ever user that owns one of their products. It's not like they stuffed the parts into a platic baggie, and tossed it in the mail...they put serious thought and design into the packaging and presentation that I've never seen before for situations like this. I've paid for "upgrade" brackets that came in a far less impressive package. And hence the pics...as always, until you see what Noctua does for their customers first-hand, it might be hard to recognize just how bloody fantastic they are as a company. I cannot hype them up enough.
Does anyone know if Noctua sends these upgrade kits for free within EU or you have to pay delivery costs if you are from outside Austria?
I am most definitely outside of Austria, and I did not pay any shipping. I do not think ANYONE has to pay for shipping..Noctua is covering it all, it seems, as there is no place to enter payment information in the order form.

I stayed here on a vacation with a friend for about a week in August. We were worried because of the bad previous reviews; instead, we had a great time here, for the hotel had everything we needed! There was a staff member 24/24 at the reception, meaning we could go in and out of the hotel at every hour,... More

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"These are a bit bigger than the typical address label at about an 1" by 1.5". But we used our on the back in the middle of the top fold, which looked great. We decided to go with these rather than the printed addresses on the envelop for the rehearsal because it was a bit more economical. Overall, super easy and cute!"
"Great quality and looked exactly as they did in the PDF. I originally went with the blush color but the white wasn't as visible so the designer suggested Rose- it was perfect!!"
"I originally purchased these to put on the bachelorette party invites but ended up choosing a different invitation. They no longer match the invites but they are super cute and functional as a regular address label. And they were super affordable and easy to personalize. I changed the yellow border to more of a poppy red/orange."
"I love that this site has so many different kinds of products with the same theme/design. I made gift tag/sticker labels for the bridal shower's party favors, and these address labels are going to perfectly match the party invites and the favors perfectly. AND they were totally affordable!"
"Loved these but had to return them because they were too large for my Save-the-Date Post cards. The product also arrived wrinkled with some damaged during packaging. Service agent was very nice and accommodating when I inquired about returning them."
