Set up along verdant forests, mountains, and valleys, Kentucky Action Park's outdoor attractions bring elements of the old-timey Wild West to the modern-day sense of adventure. The winding turns of an alpine slide send sleds on exhilarating quarter-mile trips down the mountain, and putters propel colorful orbs across 18 western-themed mini-golf holes. Chair lifts and a 24-foot rock wall tower overhead, the top of which grant scenic views typically seen only by birds and children holding many balloons. Elsewhere, horses trot out of the Jesse James Riding Stables, which has been in operation for more than 30 years. At Outlaw Cave, guided tours travel below ground to view stalactites and rock formations sculpted by the patience of water over the past millennia.
27 Drive-In carries on the classic American tradition of watching the silver screen from the reclined seats of an automobile. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at around 8:30 p.m., two towering screens show recent cinematic releases to audience members cozily nestled in laughing Hondas, transfixed Volvos, and sobbing Saturns. Movie-goers motor through a two-lane ticket booth before parking and dialing the radio to an FM station broadcasting the movie's sound. Anticipated flicks such as Contagion enthrall viewers this September, and the Twilight sequel, Breaking Dawn: Part I will cause theater grass to do sit-ups to withstand getting flattened by the horde of oncoming vehicles.
Sheltowee Trace Outfitters' founder, Rick Egedi, has navigated Kentucky's waters since 1981. At his adventure center, he and his staff lead guided trips on area rivers, such as the Big South Fork of the Cumberland River. Canoers, whitewater rafters, and tubers can float through placid, sun-dappled segments or conquer frothing rapids; alternatively, shorter trips ferry adventurers straight to the foot of the Cumberland Falls, where they can feel the waterfall's spray and see that, despite conspiracy theories, it is not just water descending an escalator.
For landlubbers, the center's activities range from trips up a climbing wall to geocaching excursions, on which visitors prowl through the surrounding greenery on a tech-savvy scavenger hunt using GPS tracking to turn up hidden caches of trinkets. During multiday outdoor trips, visitors can spend the night in nearby lodgings, such as quaint cabins and campgrounds, rather than sleeping atop nature's waterbed—the puddle.
Elk Creek Hunt Club sharpens shotgunning skills with two sporting-clay courses that feature a total of 30 different shooting fields. After clambering aboard a two- or four-person golf cart, duos traverse 2,500 acres of preserve lands hot in the pursuit of clay targets. Upon arriving at a sporting-clay station, shooters prepare to tag fleeing clays as they veer toward the forest-covered or watery horizon. Afterward, visitors can rest their boots inside the Elk Creek Lodge and wrestle a hearty meal into their stomachs. The club's lunch menu lists a slew of sandwich and salad options, such as the Angus steak burger with cheese, dressed in the traditional garb of lettuce, tomato, and onion; dinnertime selections include a grilled, 16-ounce rib-eye steak and a cut of salmon enlivened with a bourbon glaze.
The Five Seasons Family Sports Club houses tennis courts, a dining area, fitness facilities, swimming pools, and a full-service spa under one roof. Within air-conditioned indoor courts or on outdoor clay courts, racquet slingers compete in friendly bouts to sharpen swings, refine backhands, and showcase grunting abilities. Members can also break a sweat in exercise areas speckled with modern cardio equipment and weights or cool off in an Olympic-sized pool with diving wells and wading areas. Before meeting others for a postgame beverage at the lively café, clients can wander to the spa for a relaxing massage or partake in a sports workshop to gain a firm grasp on game mechanics.
A red-tailed hawk soars high above My Old Kentucky Home State Park, peering down at its campgrounds, golf course, and outdoor amphitheater. Here, a cast of actors performs Stephen Foster - The Musical, belting the famous tune, "My Old Kentucky Home." Just a piano's throw away stands Federal Hill, the Georgian-style mansion that originally inspired this perennial ballad.
Built between 1795 and 1818, the brick mansion echoes early American history in everything right down to its decor. Supposedly to honor the original colonies, the number 13 appears throughout the house: 13 windows at the front, 13 steps to each floor, and 13-inch thick walls, which once housed famous guests such as Aaron Burr. For 120 years, the Rowan family lived in the mansion. Then, in 1922, Madge Rowan Frost sold the 235-acre estate, as well as many family heirlooms, to the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
Since then, tour guides have taken visitors throughout the mansion's grounds and into its history-laden rooms. The staff has renovated the mansion in recent years, putting in hours of research to ensure that the carpets, wallpapers, drapes, and hand-whittled internet routers remain authentic to the 1850s. The mansion also celebrates the changing seasons—in winter, the mansion dons Christmas decor and the staffers serve apple cider dressed up in period costumes.
With iridescent miniature golf courses in malls throughout North America, Glowgolf adds elements of phosphorescent fun to shopping sessions. Courses contain sights such as light-defying blush corals, incandescent animals, and lush foliage reminiscent of the glowing trees on Neptune. Each pass is good for three 18-hole games, giving golfers ample opportunity to get familiar with each hole's obstacles. Equipment is available on the spot, so players won't have to carry around personal clubs or seek out a bioluminescent caddie.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

Deep Sea Arcade live on Evenings
16/03/2012 , 5:52 PM by Dominic Knight
This week Nic McKenzie and Nick Weaver from the Sydney band Deep Sea Arcade dropped into Evenings to play for us. Armed with only an acoustic guitar and a vintage keyboard, the guys performed their latest single 'Steam' and their song 'Lonely In Your Arms', and also discussed their childhood friendship, bedroom songwriting habits and handball addiction. They reckon if they'd been slightly better at handball, they may never have formed a band! Thank goodness they weren't.
Check out their performance and our chat. Their first album Outlands was released today.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A Jacksonville man was sentenced Friday to life in prison for a 2010 stray-bullet death.
Taurice Leonard Brown was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2010 killing of Analiza Gobaton. Brown was also sentenced to 65 years in prison, with a 20-year minimum mandatory, for the attempted murder of another man involved in the shooting.
Brown was convicted in October on charges of murder in the first degree and attempted murder in the first degree.
On October 22, 2010, Gobaton, 41, was heading to her children's school for an awards program. The mother of three was at a red light at Blanding Boulevard near Transylvania Avenue when she was shot in the head.
The bullet that killed Gobaton was a stray bullet from a drug-related shooting at a home on Transylvania Avenue. Brown went to the home to sell cocaine. When he arrived, he got into a verbal argument with another drug dealer. Brown then started shooting at the other drug dealer.

In case you get sick and tired of lounging in the sun this long weekend
The good folks at Home Depot want to make sure you're not bored over the long weekend, so they've come up with a few projects to keep you busy. Here's one:
Photo Feature Shelf (one day)
This weekend, create a gallery wall by installing a picture rail and lining it with an LED light rope. Here's how it's done:
Create the shelf and shelf top by cutting wood planks to the desired length.
Fasten together at a 90º angle, using a combination of glue and screws.
Once secured, sand, prime and paint. TIP:Paint the underside of the shelf white to reflect the LED lights.
Or you can cheat and use Ikea's Ribba picture rail. (My idea, not Home Depot's, natch!)
Using the clips and attachment accessories that come with the light set, secure the LED rope lights to the underside of the shelf.
Attach to the wall. Try to place shelf near an outlet so the plug can be hidden.

Advanced ratios and proportions
More advanced ratio problem with algebra More advance ratio problem with algebra.
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Let's do another ratio problem that's a bit of a classic.
- So, let's say that I start off with a certain number of fruit.
- So, I have some number of fruit.
- But I'll get back to that in a second.
- But we know that the ratio.
- We know that the ratio -- we know that the ratio of apples
- -- I'll do apples in this reddish color.
- The ratio of apples to oranges.
- To oranges, those colors are very similar.
- Let's say, it is equal to -- let's say it is equal to five:eight.
- So it's equal to five:eight.
- five:eight.
- Or I could also write it as five:eight, just like that.
- That's the ratio of apples to oranges.
- Now, the next thing that I know about this problem is that when
- I take away fifteen -- when I take away fifteen apples.
- So, take away fifteen apples, and the ratio becomes 1 to 4
- The ratio of apples to oranges becomes 1 to 4
- How many apples -- let me write it this way. how many total, how many total not how many apples
- how many, How much, let me say how much total fruit do I have, I have after taking away the fifteen apples? he fifteen apples
- How much total fruit do I have?
- So let's do a little bit of algebra.
- Let's say that x is the number, x is equal to the number of
- fruit that we start with.
- How much fruit are we going to end up with at the end?
- We're taking away fifteen apples. We're not doing anything to the oranges.
- So we know that x minus thirty, I'll do that in a different
- color, x minus oh x fifteen, we take away fifteen apples, xminus 15 is equal
- to the number of fruit we end up with.
- We know these two things are true.
- And now, we know that we start off with a ratio of five:eight.
- So we know that the ratio of apples to oranges is equal to
- five:eight that we start off with.
- Or, that's just another way of saying that for every group --
- assuming that we can divide our group of fruit into even -- or
- I can divide it into a set of groups, and every group
- has the same number of apples and oranges.
- That means that for every group of, what, thirteen fruits, thirteen fruits,
- there are five apples and eight oranges.
- That's what this tells me. For every group of thirteen fruits, there are five
- apples and eighteen oranges.
- And how many groups of thirteen fruit are there?
- Well, I have x total fruit.
- So if I divide x divided by thirteen, if I take x divided by thirteen,
- that is equal to -- this is thirteen thirteen right here, this is the thirteen
- at thirteen fruits per group, I have x total fruit.
- So this is the total number of groups, So this is equal to the number of groups.
- Now, for every group, I have five apples.
- So how many apples am I starting off with?
- There is a number of groups.
- For every group, I have five apples.
- So I'm starting off with five times that apples.
- fivex over thirteen apples.
- 5 x over thirteen apples
- Now, for every one of these groups, I also have eight oranges.
- So, how many oranges do I have?
- I have eight times that.
- Because for every one of these, I have eight oranges.
- So eight times that is eightx over thirteen oranges.
- Fair enough.
- That's what I start off with.
- Now, when I'm done we said that the ratio, the rato of apples to oranges
- the ratio of apples to oranges becomes 1 to 4.
- Becomes 1 to 4
- Or, another way of saying that is that, for every five -- right,
- if you add these two numbers together, for every five fruit
- there are one apple and four oranges.
- Fair enough.
- So, how many groups of five fruit do we have?
- Well, this is the total number of fruit we're left with
- after we took fifteen away.
- So how many groups of five do we have?
- We take the total number of fruit.
- x minus fifteen.
- Divide it by how many fruit we have per group.
- And this is how many groups of -- this is equal to
- the groups of five fruit.
- Of five fruit.
- Now, for each of these groups, I'm going to have
- one apple and four oranges.
- So how many apples and oranges do I now have after I took
- away fifteen of the apples?
- I took away fifteen fruit?
- Let's think about this a little bit.
- How many apples am I going to have?
- I have one apple for every one of these groups.
- So, that's how many -- so the number of groups is the
- number of apples I have.
- So, I'm going to have x minus fifteen over five apples.
- And then how many oranges am I going to have?
- For every one of these groups, I'm going to have four oranges.
- So, I'm going to have four times this many oranges.
- So we can write that as 4 over 5 times x minus fifteen oranges, right
- That's just five times the number of groups of five fruit.
- Now, what doesn't change?
- I'm messing with the number of apples, but I never changed
- the number of oranges.
- So, this number which is the number of oranges we
- started off with, has to equal this number.
- The number of oranges we ended up with.
- There's many ways to do this problem, but this is the way that's popping out of me that might be straightforward.
- So let's see if we can solve for x.
- This has to be equal to that.
- That never changed.
- So you could say 8 x over 13 is equal to 4 fifth times x minus fifteen.
- And, maybe, the best way to do this, let's multiply both sides
- of this equation times five / four.
- So, times five / four times five / four.
- These cancel out. That just becomes one.
- What does this become?
- This becomes, you see you get a four, divide it by four you get a two there.
- This becomes tenx over thirteen.
- tenx over thirteen, that's the left-thand side, is
- equal to x minus fifteen.
- Now, let's subtract x from both sides.
- And we get tenx over thirteen minus x is equal to minus fifteen.
- Let me scroll down a little bit.
- And so, what is this?
- This is the same thing as tenx over thirteen minus thirteenx over thirteen, all right
- That's just x.
- Is equal to minus fourteen.
- And then, ten minus thirteen, this is equal to -- so this is minus threex
- over thirteen, is equal to minus fifteen.
- Now, we can just multiply both sides of this equation
- by minus thirteen over three.
- Multiply this side by minus thirteen over three.
- I picked that number so that this and that cancel out.
- And that and that cancel out, and the negatives cancel out.
- So I'm just left with x on that side.
- And then, the right-hand side becomes what?
- The negatives cancel out.
- I can divide the fifteen and the three by three, so that becomes a five.
- And then this becomes a one.
- And I'm just left with five times thirteen.
- This was just, times plus thirteen, I wrote that just to make sure
- that you understood that the negatives canceled out.
- So, five times thirteen is what?
- five times twelve is sixty, so x is equal to sixty-five.
- But that is not our answer.
- Remember what x was.
- x was the number of fruit we started with.
- We just figured out that this is equal to sixty-five.
- But what the question asked, the question wanted to know is,
- how much total fruit do I have after taking away the fifteen apples.
- So the question wants to know, how many after taking the fifteen apples.
- If I started with sixty-five, I give away fifteen of the fruit, all of
- them are apples, then I'm left with sixty-five minus fifteen,
- which is equal to?
- fifty apples, oh not, fifty pieces of fruit.
- fifty pieces of fruit.
- That's what they're asking for.
- fifty pieces of fruit.
- If you want, you can go on and figure out how many apples you
- started with, you finished with, the number of oranges, or
- whatever else, but this is what they're asking.
- How much total fruit, not the number of apples, total fruit,
- do I have after taking away the fifteen apples?

The upcoming group of Texas A&M graduates will get a pep talk from one of the university's most successful coaches before they get their diplomas.
Aggie Women's Basketball Head Coach Gary Blair will be the summer commencement convocation speaker at the August 9 ceremony. A&M President R. Bowen Loftin made the announcement Wednesday.
"Coach Blair is not only highly successful in leading and inspiring young women to excel on the basketball court, in the classroom and in life generally, but he has also proved to be an extraordinary good-will ambassador for Texas A&M as he interacts with the public and the media in his unique manner, " Loftin said in a statement. " I am confident he will bring an engaging message that will be well received by our degree candidates, their families and others attending commencement convocation."
The event takes place at Rudder Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. on August 9. Graduations will take place the next day at 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Recently, Blair was announced as a new inductee into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Last year, he was inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.
Under the coach, the Aggies captured the national championship in 2011 and have been to the NCAA tournament seven consecutive seasons. The Dallas native has led the program since 2003, and has coached college basketball for 32 years.

Grab a Button!
Product 339/465
The man moved with the grace of a jungle cat, all muscle and strength. He waved toward a chair, the only invitation to sit.
I didnt know his name or much about him, but I did know I was in no hurry to leave. Those mesmerizing green eyes of his held my gaze, and I could swear he read my mind. Maybe he could. That brought a frown to my face. I didnt particularly care for the idea of him strolling through my brain at will, especially when Id never been that good at controlling my thoughts.
Who are you? I blurted the question out before I could engage my brain. Id always been guilty of speaking first and thinking later. Apparently, my death hadnt changed that.
You mean you dont know? He sat behind a black circular desk, folded his hands across the top. Most people know a little about me before they requisition a meeting.
Starting to get nervous, I lifted a shoulder in a half-shrug. I didnt think Id ever need to come to see you.
So why now then?
Arent you going to tell me who you are?
One dark eyebrow arched. Here was a man not used to being questioned. My name is Gabriel.
If my heart could beat, it would pop out of my chest. You mean like the archangel?
He laughed, the vibrant sound echoing around the vast space. Wrong angel, although, I do admit its not the first time someone has mistaken me for him.
Sso youre an angel?
He shrugged. Of sorts, yes.
I was getting irritated. I didnt have time to play games. Well, actually I had nothing but time, but the longer I waited, the longer Blake had to enjoy his perfect little life. Okay, fine. You dont want to tell me who you are. At the very least, you could tell me what makes you so special. Every spirit above thinks youre the best thing since fresh pineapple.
Gabriel wore a smug smile that made me wonder if spirits could harm angels. No, you definitely did not do your homework.
I was never any good at it. My retort earned me another laugh.
Olivia, my sweet, I am the Angel of Death.

About Monthly Comfort Tea
Calming and soothing, Monthly Comfort Tea was created for that time of the month when hormones are raging and your uterus and you could use some extra care!
USDA Certified 100% Organic, Monthly Comfort Tea was formulated especially for women with a cinnamon-delicious combination of nutrient-rich herbs, for use both monthly and after childbirth.
Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla Vulgaris)
Though it moniker conjures a veil, this is no coy little herb. Named after its affinity for girl parts, Lady's Mantle knows its way around the female reproductive system, and is used traditionally for "female troubles" during menstruation, after pregnancy and even during perimenopause. Working synergistically with cinnamon, Lady's Mantle's astringent goodness through that time of the month and after childbirth makes it a true mother among mothering herbs.
Monthly Comfort Tea blends Lady's Mantle with balancing lemon balm, mineral-rich nettles and alfalfa, and delicious, rejuvenating ginger to help ease cramping.
Mama's Promise
Safe, organic products that work. Naturally Mama's USDA Certified 100% Organic Herbal blends combine traditional plant wisdom and evidence-based research for safety and effectiveness in a comforting, delicious cup of tea.
Mama's promise is to offer only safe, pure, natural products that work. Women trust Mama. After all, if Mama wouldn't use it for her own family the she doesn't sell it.

The Blood of the Indies
In Charlie Murder, the whole band gets Windows Phones on the fictional t2f (short for ta2fön) network. There's a bunch of stuff you can use your phone for, like email (some of it rote, some of it interesting), camera phone, and squid-themed microblogging site squ.iddl.us. I thought it was a fun way to give your characters a bit of an info hub, and I've been a big fan of Windows Phone ever since my Samsung Focus and its marvelous bulging battery bomb (that's another story). Also, we have a game on Windows Phone, and we definitely make a buck or two whenever someone buys it, so that's cool. Yet still, I felt the need to tweet this:
In the comments in Joystiq's rad Charlie Murder preview write up, there were a few begrudging Microsoft for what was (erroneously) interpreted as some sort of paid off order from up high to include the phone in the game. This is obviously entirely untrue; if anyone's guilty of some sort of slimy promotion, I guess that would be me, as I'd like to get more people interested in a pretty solid other alternative to iPhone (and, again, we've got Z0MB1ES on dat ph0ne!!!1)
But I think this illuminates an underlying issue, namely that of Microsoft's misunderstood role as indie games publisher, and how that ties to the trending media narrative on Microsoft being "bad for indies." Where do we stand on all this? Read on:

In this dark comedy, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as three friends who are fed up with their respective bosses and hatch a plan to kill them. The evil employers are devilishly good, with Jennifer Aniston playing against type as a filthy-mouthed dentist, Colin Farrell as a balding, drug-addict loser, and Kevin Spacey as a villainous CEO. The very funny ensemble cast is made even better thanks to a great script. The extras on the DVD include deleted scenes and a few making-of featurettes.
Ryan Reynolds dons a CG green suit to play superhero Green Lantern, the alter ego of pilot Hal Jordan. When Hal intercepts a crashed alien craft and receives a special ring, he becomes part of the Green Lantern Corps and fights intergalactic villain Parallax and scientist Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). He also finds time to romance fellow pilot Carol Ferris (Blake Lively). While it's not the standout superhero film of the year, Reynolds is a charming lead. DVD extras include additional scenes, featurettes, an extended cut, and a preview for Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

When I was pregnant, I confided to my friend and mentor Phyllis that while I was excited I would have a baby, I was at times even more excited that I would have the entire length of my maternity leave to rediscover hobbies, reach out to friends, complete deferred projects and indulge in the testing of new recipes and decorating ideas. "I am going to take up the classical guitar, Phyllis!" I gushed. Phyllis was wise from experience. She gave me a wry smile and she laughed kindly. "You will be doing well," she said, "if you make it out of your pajamas and into real clothes on most days of the week." I was amused by her answer but I secretly vowed I would prove Phyllis wrong. Later, I was grateful to think back to her words. Without Phyllis as my reality check, I might have felt like quite the female failure during my postpartum period. When I was first pregnant, I was given unlimited information about what to expect during pregnancy and delivery. I attended classes about how to care for my new arrival. But no one told me what to expect after delivery, or how to care for myself in the months that would follow. The postpartum period, described by some as the "fourth trimester," is a magical time, but it is also a period of guaranteed fatigue, anxiety and physical discomfort for new mothers. Since many women leave the hospital in the first 24 hours after delivery, we can feel very much alone as we take stock of our own bodies and health in the weeks that follow childbirth. Typically, a doctor does not re-examine women until six weeks postpartum. Here are some things that no one told me before delivery, that I would like to have known:
Falling in love with your new baby may happen immediately. Like any infatuation, your love and adoration can and should consume hours out of each day. You will be amazed at the passing of time, and you will find it remarkable how little you appear to "get done" in your postpartum months. I myself am proud that I got out of pajamas and into real clothes on most days of the week. In your postpartum months, don't lose sight of the immensity of your accomplishments: having and nurturing a newborn.

Vista's an odd one like that. After a while now I've come to the conclusion that it speeds itself up over time, and tends to slow down if adding SPs. I've noticed that on re-formatting things seem to slow down (sort of counter-intuitive to what I expect), and yeah I remember when I installed SP1 manually after my last re-format I was baffled at why things were moving so slowly (comparatively speaking). After a while though things picked up again, and I think it's now faster than ever. Vista is a good learner I think. Purely subjective though, I don't have any data to back that up. At any rate Service Packs add to stability, but I wouldn't expect performance increases with them, regardless of the OS>
Well then with all due respect, he should allow others to make their own choices. If they want to acquire a piece of software by whatever means, then thats their prerogative. One shouldn't let another persons actions get the better of him. IMO, its no concern of anyone's but the person doing it. Thats all that Ill say here. PM me otherwise. After using Windows 7, I hate Vista now.
I've had 7 installed since it's beta release, I still use Vista far more. I like 7, but for some reason I still like Vista more. Still seems a bit faster and 7 still seems to have some kinks, and I just don't like some of the layout of 7 as much as vista. Vista remains my favorite OS I've ever used. What don't you like? But yes I think so just go to add/remove programs.
S'all good, I'm not fully confident that will work anyway, but that's how to remove most updates. Never tried a SP though. If you can't do it there I doubt you could do it anywhere though.
well i guess i could do a dang system restore? but any ways sp2 d/l is done... ill give my thoughts later
Well so far i think the sp2 rocks.... my rig before was snappy opening up and running programs but indeed sp2 is waaaay snappier!!! It just seems to be better over all... But the test..... lets see how it holds a 4GHz OC lol.... One can only hope for sucess
int main{ If (system=overclocked){ BSOD; Else startWindows; return 0; } They forgot that in the patch notes, sorry.
I heard if you download service pack 2 it will steal your first born and make you say Rumpelstiltskin backwards.
i didn't really expect anyone to be negative towards SP2, it's a service pack lol. plus it only took my system like 15min once downloaded for it to complete installation with the reboot and whatnot. So if you wanted could make a restore point then install. Find anything you don't like then go back to the system restore, but i dout you will as the only difference i've noticed is my system is "snappier" as someone put it earlier. Most people jump for joy with SP releases, u boys got my confuzzled any particular reason u don't want to install SP2 besides the lack of desire to take the time to update?
take the sp2 leap Erocker, you'll be glad you did!!! and you can remove it under Control panel--Programs and features--Installed updates
it took just under 12min from clicking d/l to install to reboot to happy happy lol sp2 works real well imo.
Cool. Does anyone know how much larger this will make Vista 64bit. I have my O/S on a smallish SSD and it's running out of room.
it was showing as just a tad over half a gb but i believe it included sp1 as well so mabey 250mb im guessing as long as sp1 is already installed
OMG erocker.... your avatar is a blast from the past!!! i loved that black hole movie!!! sorry im not hi jakin this thread but just needed to say
yep SP2 definitely isn't a negative release. still tryin to find a review comparing current SP2 to SP1, and SP2 shouldn't include SP1 as it states you need to have SP1 installed first just lil suggestion fullinfusion, just click the edit button instead of double posting figured with 7 stars u'd know that by now .

Gym memberships can make you sweat for the wrong reasons. Never think it's only £40 a month. If it's a year's contract, remember that's actually a £480 bill.
This is a full list of the latest free trials, pay-as-you-go deals and no-frills gyms from £10 ish/month. Plus see what to watch out for with contracts, and what to do when membership goes wrong.
Tweet | http://mse.me/gyms |
Gyms are packed in January, but a few months later, half the people disappear. Resolutions have gone, but they're locked into a contract, possibly paying £100s a year for nowt.
Gyms aren't cheap. Add membership administration fees to the monthly charge and the annual cost is usually north of £500.
Never think a gym costs £50/month. If you're locked in for a year's contract, always multiply it by 12 and think of it as a yearly cost. Remember...
£50/month might not sound too bad, but over 12 months, that's £600.
Like leftover Christmas turkey, many gym goers fade fast. If you're throwing away cash on unused membership each month and are out of contract, cancel.
Plus those surging with good first-time fitness intention should remember there's a decent chance their enthusiasm may wane. By signing a year's contract, the only pounds you'll lose are from your wallet.
Martin asked people on Twitter to own up to the longest they paid for membership without going. We've been swamped with gym fails such as...
"Paid for the gym for 3 years at £69/month - nearly £2,500. Think I went twice or for the odd swim in the 3 years." That's £1,240 a workout!
"Paid £270 for a year's membership, went for one swim. Most expensive swim ever."
"I used to pay £102/month for a family gym membership for 1 year, and I only went about five times."
"I bought a year's membership at LA Fitness and NEVER attended. What a waste!"
I got myself tied into a 3 year gym contract at £12/month. I've only been twice and that was about 2 years ago.
Try out these options first.
Women's fitness shop Sweaty Betty offers free pilates, ballet and other fitness classes at over 25 branches across the country. Call your nearest store for info.
Rather than paying for the privilege of being sandwiched between two sweaty blokes while listening to dodgy house music, run in the park for free. All you need is a pair of trainers. For free weekly 5k timed runs, check out Parkrun.
Examine your fitness requirements. You can run, cycle, do light weights (or baked bean cans), yoga and a lot more without gym facilities. Why not do workout DVDs with friends or see if there is an Outdoor Gym near you?
Amazon often offers 75%+ reductions, yet it directs people to other areas, sending them to products with higher profit margins instead.
There's a geeky way to manipulate Amazon's web links to display all heavily-reduced bargains. All you need to do is fiddle with Amazon web addresses (URLs) to bring up lists of knockdown prices, eg, running gear 75%+ off*, fitness equipment 55%+ off* & Sportswear 75%+ off*. See the Amazon Discount Finder guide for full details.
Join the Debt-Free Wannabe Running Club, where MoneySavers support and help each other reach their goals.
Children, young people and families can get free tennis coaching sessions and free use of thousands of tennis courts across the UK with Tennis For Free. Free coaching sessions run at weekends and are suitable for all ages, with equipment also provided for free.

Get a free 1-day pass by registering your details with Fitness First. You'll then get an email with your voucher. You'll need to activate your offer by calling the club you intend to to go to. Find your nearest Fitness First.

Just download the free five-day pass voucher for Harpers - it must be used on consecutive days, and is for local residents (aged over 16), proof of address may be required. Plus you need to book a free 15-min "fitness fast track" introduction in advance. Find your nearest.
Anyone can get a free one-day pass by filling in the form on the Nuffield website - find your nearest club.
Many gyms let you buy guest passes to work out with a friend. Gyms often give these to new members for free in the hope they'll show the gym off to pals.
If any friends have joined recently, it's worth asking. If you join yourself, be sure to blag extra guest passes it usually doesn't take much effort.
Paying as you go can work out more expensive. Yet if you're new to gyms, or may not need a full year's membership, it can be worth paying a little more for a few months until you're sure you'll continue.
First check if you've a no-frills or council gym near you, which often offer decent pay-as-you-go options.
Alternatively, PayasUgym.com sells pay-as-you-go passes for 1,000 gyms across the UK. As an example, LivingWell in Rotherhithe, south London is £8.95 per visit. But it would cost £12 per visit direct with the club.
Just plug in your postcode to browse nearby gyms, which each have a star rating from other users. Then register and load your account to buy passes. It sends an email and text message just flash either at reception.
Do call the gym to check its not cheaper direct. If you use PayasUgym.com, please tell us your experiences.
Longer trials are a good halfway house between paying as you go and signing up for a year's contract. They're usually more expensive than annual memberships, but you're free to go elsewhere once the trial's up or to stop paying if you no longer go.
Most major gyms include shorter or even no-contract options. Here are some of the best (also see no-frills gyms, which offer no contract one-month membership options).
Gym membership broker The Gym Website* sells short-term gym membership for GLL and many local gyms.
Many are discounted, but how good it is depends on your local gym just do a search in your area to find details. Always check what the gym offers directly too. For example, Spirit Health Club memberships can be cheaper direct from its site.
Go to Harpers Fitness to get a two-week membership from £15, depending on where you live. Find your nearest club.
Buy a Spirit Health Clubs two-week membership from £25 and six-week membership from £62 online (though most are far more expensive). Again, check your nearest club for the price - there are a handful across England.
If you can forget saunas, jacuzzis and fit gym instructors, there's been an explosion in no-frills gyms. Prices are £10-£20/month, you can usually cancel any time and MoneySavers' feedback is hugely positive.
More are opening every month, so if you can't find one near you, check again later. The other boon is that there's often no minimum contract length. Here are the main cheap-as-chips chains.
No-frills chain PureGym has 43 branches across the UK, including several in London, Edinburgh and Manchester.
MoneySavers have been impressed by the facilities, though say the gyms can be busy at peak times.
Membership costs between £19 and £26 a month, which includes classes. You can cancel at any time. If youd rather pay as you go, it charges £6 a time.
The Gym Group has over 32 branches in England, Scotland and Wales. Monthly membership costs £11 to £20 per month, depending on location, and theres no minimum contract length.
Gyms are open 24 hours a day and MoneySavers say equipment is plentiful and high quality.
Smaller chain FitSpace has eight branches in England, plus one in Belfast. There are no receptions (you just swipe a card), but several MoneySavers are fans.
Gyms cost £12-£14 per month on an 18-month contract or £20ish per month with no lock-in (you still need to give 30 days' notice to cancel). Alternatively, you can buy annual membership for £149.
Run by local councils, public leisure centres have refreshingly transparent pricing, often with no minimum contract length and pay-as-you go options.
While facilities are cheap n cheerful, membership's usually under £30 a month. Also check out local universities and colleges, which often have gyms open to all, with good facilities at a fraction of private-chain prices.
Check on your local council's site to see what it offers. Use Gov.uk's local council finder.
Owned by Fitness First, Klick Fitness has six branches, mostly in the north of England. Membership starts at £13/month on an 12-month contract or from £16/month with no lock-in. This includes free classes.
You can also pay as you go for £5 a time at all clubs, or get three day-passes for £13.
Xercise4Less has nine branches, all in the north of England, including Leeds, Wakefield and Wigan.
Membership is £10 - £15/month on a 12-month contract or £15 - £20/month with no lock-in at all gyms.
If you like the colour orange and live near Birmingham, Cardiff, Slough or Wood Green, north London, EasyGym is another option. Memberships start from £16/month or from £28/month including classes, and there's no lock-in.
Alternatively, you can pay as you go for £5 a time.
Swanky gyms want you to think contract prices are fixed. They're not. The gym sector is fiercely competitive, so there are tons of ways to slim down the price. If you're signing a contract, make sure you read What to watch out for in contracts below.
Most gyms employ a commission-driven sales team to sign you up, making them a prime candidate for haggling.
Don't settle for the standard package. With a bit of chutzpah you should be able to slice a wedge off the cost, especially towards the end of the month, when sales staff need to meet targets.
Once you've got the price down as far as you think it'll go, ask for some free guest passes on top. MoneySavers say Fitness First is the most haggleable gym. Virgin Active can also be flexible. LA Fitness usually won't lower the price but will throw in freebies such as towels and padlocks.
If you go for a gym tour and they won't agree to a deal that day, go home without signing up. The phone often rings a few days later with a new offer. For top phrases to grease the wheels, read the full High Street Haggling guide.
LA Fitness: 66% off cost of membership with Tesco
You can join LA Fitness for a third of the normal price if you collect Tesco Clubcard points. When you convert Clubcard vouchers into Tesco Rewards, they are worth up for three or four times as much as when you spend them in-store.
LA Fitness is a member of the scheme, and you can use Clubcard vouchers as part or full payment towards an annual membership and joining fee.
Each £5 in Clubcard vouchers is worth £15 in LA Fitness vouchers. All new LA Fitness members pay a joining fee, so don't forget to factor this in - ask at your local club. There's more on maximising Tesco Clubcard points in the Boost Tesco Points guide.
Cheap corporate membership
Check if your employer offers subsidised gym membership or has a relationship with a gym, which can be at silly prices. If not, speak to your HR department and suggest they set up a deal.
Special opening rates
New gyms often offer cheap 'founder' memberships to drum up custom. To find new gyms, scour industry publications such as Club Solutions and Health Club Management, as well as gyms' own sites.
Go off-peak
Most gyms provide cheaper membership during 'off-peak' hours. If it's possible, for you to visit the gym during the daytime, work lunchtimes or at weekends, you could slash the cost.
If you're signing up for a year, remember sales staff often work on commission. So if their slick patter says "if you're ill you can freeze membership, or take a holiday", ask to see it in the contract.
If they say, "It's not there, but it's fine", make notes there which have legal weight and, if possible, get them to sign to show the promise.
Here's a list of what to check. For further examples, read this useful publication by the Office of Fair Trading.
Your right to cancel gym membership is currently a big issue, with the regulator - the OFT - taking an interest, and is moving along at a fair pace. As of 8 Mar 2013, the situation slight differs depending on who your gym is...
The OFT forcefully persuaded these three major gym firms to clean up their act, by allowing some members to cancel early, or in some cases freeze their contracts.
Under the new rights, if there's a change in your circumstances (eg, an injury or job loss) which makes gym attendance difficult or unaffordable, you may be able to cancel mid-contract, with more flexibility than before.
As well as this, the three clubs, with almost a million members between them, have agreed to:
Other gyms are expected to follow suit, as the OFT continues its investigation. We'll update this guide when we know more.
If your gym ISN'T one of the three above, and your circumstances change, try challenging your gym to see if you can cancel. Mention that you're aware other gyms are now allowing some members to cancel early, and see what it can do.
These changes are aimed at people who genuinely can't go to the gym any more, not just if you got bored with it, so still be careful before signing up to a contract.
If the above doesn't apply to you, one of the OFTs guidelines on unfair terms may. Check through the list below to see if you have grounds to get your contract cancelled:
You're on a contract that's OVER 12 months
The club makes big changes to services
The gym hikes prices
The gym automatically renews your membership
Unclear wording on membership terms
If your gym's breaching the contract or it contains unfair terms, you've every right to fight back. If you manage to cancel by following the steps below, please tell us what happened.
Step 1: Complain in person
When starting a complaint, it's best to not go militant unless you have to. The first easy step is to go to reception and explain that you want to cancel.
Step 2: Complain in writing
If the gym won't play ball, write a complaint letter and send it to the head office. Send all letters by recorded delivery, so you can prove they received it, and always save a copy.
Your letter should mention any unfair contract terms you think your contract may have. If you meet silence or the response is rubbish, write again and be persistent. For information or advice, try calling the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 0845 404 05 06.
Step 3: Complain to UKactive
Gyms that are members of the UKactive trade group agree to stick to the OFTs guidelines on unfair contracts.
If your gym's a member and you have not had any luck complaining directly, try contacting UKactive. As a trade association, it can offer further advice and in some cases may contact the gym on your behalf. This is worth a try, as it's free.
Step 4: If all else fails: take 'em to court
Hopefully you will settle it. But if you strongly believe in your case, have tried all the steps above and it still won't cancel your contract, taking it to the small claims court is a last resort, although it isn't for everyone. If you're a court novice, try to seek help from an informed friend or advice centre.
Yet before you get legal, you're expected to try to resolve things directly, and ideally send a letter before action to say you are going to take them to court. If you don't try, the judge is likely to look unfavourably on your case, so always use the steps above first. For more on small claims rules, see the How to Complain guide.
Did this system work for you? If you managed to cancel your contract, please tell us about it in the Gym Cancelling discussion.

In this thread I'll answer questions about built-in preview images we introduced in FF3.0. | |||||||||||||||
Posted: April 29, 2011 3:38 am | ||||||||||||||||

Yes, that's how I wanted it to work -- when you save a preset when a certain built-in preview is active, the preview image ID is saved with the preset and is shown in the filter library (and the Show Original Image link on the filter webpage also leads to the proper preview image). However, as far as I can see, it's not implemented properly yet. I'll put this on my personal todo list for Beta 2. |
Posted: April 29, 2011 3:52 am | ||||||||||||||||

Future betas will include portraits (and people photos in general). We won't include portrait collages/assemblies like the one shown above, just regular portrait photos. Actually, we planned to include at least one portrait and a general people photo into the first beta, but we just didn't have time to sort through thousands of microstock images. One minor problem: when we include 9 more portraits and 5 more general people photos, selecting the preview images via the menus will become too inconvenient. We'll have to design and implement a new interface for chosing previews, perhaps a dedicated dialog box. Cybersparkle, thank you for the specifics, now we have much better search criteria for candidate images for portraits. |
Posted: April 29, 2011 4:05 am | ||||||||||||||||
Please, Will it be possible also to use and see the new built in previews in the online library ?
Please, I wish the answer could be YES !
Because as you say we are a little bit sick and tired to see only and always just the lifesaver, and it is great to have this on FF 3.0 BUT will it change also in the online library in the near future ? It could be much better to see some of the new previews also in the online library and not just on the FF 3.0 software. I know that this will change the online library works and most probably how filters are submitted but as you are so smart and creative, you probably can find a way to make it |

I've been following this, and I apologize if the question has been answered elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.
My first thought was that we would be able to specify our own images to be part of the defaults available. From the sounds of it, this isn't being contemplated, but I'm hoping I'm wrong and that there was some discussion elsewhere that this would eventually appear. |

Having a preview image in Filter Forge means that we also need to have it on the server side, in the Filter Library (to be used as an original image for previews of presets that were saved with this image.) |
Posted: May 4, 2011 7:46 am | ||||||||||||||||
When releasing the new beta 3.004 is put "This is the third and final stage of the beta test" So I suposse that this beta is the last one before the final release, but this one does not include any new built-in images. I mean that you said that in future betas would included portraits, and if there will not be any more betas, will this be available on the final version and did not have time to include it in Beta 3.04 or is something that will not be included ? Perhaps you have some problems implementing them as you said and needs to make anad design a new interface for this and could be more difficult than is said. Thanks very much |
Posted: October 5, 2011 12:40 am | ||||||||||||||||
I understand that you can´t specify your OWN images to be part of the default images presets because as you said it would need to be in the server, so this is not possible, BUT what about the new built-in preview images, would we be able to change to any of these bultín and choose them by default instead of the lifesaver ?
Please, the question is, will this lifesaver substitute preview presets finally be implemented properly and available in the final FF 3.0 release ??? Is there a good news answer now in October 2011 for both of the answers made by Totte and me ? |

Welcome to the group!
Hi Daniel! I would like to play. I am also kicking off my home D&D game again here at casa D&D. Last time around we did 1st edition for about 20 sessions before everyone's work schedules made us call a halt. Not like the good old days when we were all kids but I feel like a 20 game run is pretty good these days. This time around I plan to run 4th edition which I ran once before to sort of test it out (fun stuff). The current plan is to get together on Tuesday nights after work.
Hey Daniel,
Congratulations on starting your Meetup Group! It looks like a lot of fun, and we're so excited that you're an Organizer.

fee waiver and void transactions.
Quarterly, the Chancellor's Office
will transfer funds to the campuses, via warrants, to cover application
fees received. Payments to the campuses for any uncollected fees
from students who did not qualify for an application fee waiver
will be made when the cash receipts process is transferred to
the campuses (tentatively scheduled for November 1, 1997). Campuses
should notify the Chancellor's Office Accounting Department of
any electronic application fees received by their campus directly
from the applicants.
If you have questions about the worksheet

John Chambers chairman and CEO of Cisco acquisitions John would you make more or is now time to just sit back and keep -- powder dry.
Well it's a combination of the two Liz we've been relatively cloud over the last two years in terms of acquisitions we've only done three major -- But if you watch -- as the prices for acquisition targets become more reasonable.
And if our country will allow us to bring back their earnings we have ever -- invest in America you will see -- increase both our headcount.
Our acquisitions in our dividend payments so acquisitions are part of our innovation -- we do it in most people's opinion.
As well or better -- anybody asked the industry it's important part of innovation force.
Repatriation of overseas profit you've been an early supporter of Mitt Romney who appears to be the man who face off against President Obama.
Has he said as he indicated where that he would be for -- allowing US companies to repatriate those profits and under what conditions to -- talked to him about that.
-- this up talk with him on a number different topics and -- had the chance over the last ten years to spend a lot of time with he and his wife and and I understand the man -- not trusting you don't have conversations with key government leaders if you share what this conversations where.
I think what I like about Mitt Romney the best.
It is his ability to be predictable.
And his ability to focus on putting America back to work in the economy which I think is the number one challenge our country faces.
And so I have confidence that he will put in place a policy and be able to work with both the congress the senate and the house to work those issues through.
I personally like our president mr.
Obama I think -- -- he's a good man.
And I think he has good intentions just feel it's time for certainty in terms for our leadership.
And I think Mitt Romney is the right person to lead us through these challenges not think -- -- -- very good job on that.
John I know it's a tough day for the stock we've really appreciate you coming before our viewers and tying up some loose ends on this issue.
I don't supposed to get a little easier as you -- older but can't fight the good fight.
We will -- -- we're always be transparent and share with people what we believe.
And I doubt why we think when the wind which we are doing at the present John I was -- that we'll see you next time thank you very much -- John Chambers.

Fantastic loacation, it lacks the service of a 4 star hotel, however it has the prices of one. The air con didnt work and our daily complaint was answered by the room window being left open. no apology was ever forthcoming Breakfast was excellent, would stay again but only for one night and ask for a room with a view of the ocean.
