I Like To Collect FreebiesFree for one, free for all! I go to Venice Beach in California by the boardwalk, & I always end up leaving with something free. Whether it be books, dinner, vitamins, etc. I also love free samples from the Farmer's Market.

Anyone Remember Pogs?When I was younger I was awesome at winning pogs. I had such a sweet collection. I also had doubles and triples. However I would trade or give them away. I just thought of that when I seen this group. I don't have any of them now though. Oh well.

On Thursday 28th March 2013, The Scientific Exploration Society welcomed Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and over 700 members and guests to the Royal Geographical Society in London. HRH has been a member of The SES for many years. Colonel John Blashford-Snell gave a fascinating and entertaining lecture to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of David Livingstone. John recounted Livingstone's travels, challenges, achievements and family life in remarkable detail, with wonderful illustrations and images to capture the hardships encountered.
The evening ended with Garry Batt auctioning lots ranging from an elephant to a fabulous holiday donated by Mantis group, who kindly supported the evening. Over £10000 was raised, and a contribution from these funds will be used towards the restoration of the Livingstone Memorial at Chitambo, Zambia.
So many people worked so hard to ensure a successful and thoroughly enjoyable evening, and it is dangerous to name any at the risk of missing others. But we must of course mention John and Judith Blashford-Snell, Alan Campbell, Lucy Thompson, Dave and Val Smith, Jim Masters and Mel Hyatt-Steel from The SES, Paul and Ian Gardiner from Mantis, Garry Batt from Dukes Fine Art in Dorchester and Charlie Morison and her Campbell-Bell team, the staff of the RGS and the army of volunteers who worked so hard behind the scenes.

CNN HLN Preps For "Talking Points" Pilot Featuring Comedian John Fugelsang
CNN Headline News is looking for a studio audience for an "entertaining special on politics, pop culture and current events." The pilot, called Talking Points, is being billed as "a show that's sure to put a twist on the traditional newscast." It will be taped in the Jack Morton Auditorium at The George Washington University in D.C. on Wednesday, August 17 at 7:30pm.
Talking Points will be "hosted by comedian and writer John Fugelsang," an e-mail invitation to the program says. It promises to "cut through the spin of today's newsmakers and get to the bottom of what's really going on."
The invite says: "If you understand the difference between the terms 'war on terror' and 'global struggle against violent extremism' stay home. But like us, if you wonder why anyone would take the time to create and market a new slogan while a war is on, come join our studio audience for opinion, debate, a few laughs and free air-conditioning!"
Free AC — now you're hooked, eh? To request tickets, e-mail email@example.com or call 202-994-8CNN…
> Update: 2:50pm: Dan asks: "Isn't cutting through the spin of today's newsmakers and getting to the bottom of what's really going on EXACTLY what a traditional newscast should do???"
> Update: 2:55pm: One industry insider laughs: "'Talking Points?' Why is it that CNN continues to lack the creativity to come up with names for shows on their own? Sounds like they poached the latest one from The O'Reilly Factor…"

Cyprus President: No Privatization In Bailout Deal
By MENELAOS HADJICOSTIS
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) â¿¿ Cyprus' president said Wednesday he would refuse any request by international lenders to sell off state-owned companies as part of a finalized agreement to bail out the crisis-hit country.
A draft of the bailout deal by the rescue creditors â¿¿ the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund â¿¿ says Cyprus will have to consider privatizations if it's debt is deemed unsustainable.
But Dimitris Christofias said he won't consent to privatizations because he's "bound" by his party AKEL, which has communist roots, and by the government. Christofias suggested that should the bailout creditors insist on including privatizations in a deal, the accord would have to wait for the next government to sign it. Cyprus holds presidential elections on Feb. 17 and Christofias is not seeking reelection."I hope that when discussions conclude they won't ask us to privatize state-owned organizations because if they do, and I want to make this perfectly clear, I have no intention to proceed as president of the republic with such a move," he said. Cypriot banks, which took huge losses on bad Greek debt and loans, are estimated to need up to ⿬10 billion ($13.19 billion) in rescue money. That's more than half the value of the national economy and too much for the government to handle on its own. It would also make the rescue one of the largest bank bailouts ever as a proportion of gross domestic product, second only to the 1997 Indonesian bailout, according to estimates by Cyprus' Central Bank. If the Cypriot government were to spend the full ⿬10 billion for the banks, plus ⿬1.5 billion to cover government deficits over the bailout's four-year duration, public debt would rise as high as 140 percent of GDP. Cypriot authorities contend that the banks' needs are notably less than ⿬10 billion. An exact figure on the banks' needs is expected sometime in the middle of this month, when international investment firm PIMCO and auditors Deloitte finish looking through the lenders' books.

Bay City, Metro Manila
Bay City is the name for the reclamation area located west of Roxas Boulevard on Manila Bay in Metro Manila, the Philippines. The area is split between the cities of Pasay on the north side and Parañaque on the south side.[1]
The plan was to reclaim 3,000 hectares of land in Manila Bay. The project was begun by Imelda Marcos in 1977, with the creation of the Public Estate Authority to manage the project. By the end of the Marcos rule in 1986, 660 hectares had been reclaimed.[1]
The area is most well known for being home of the SM Mall of Asia, billed as the third largest mall in the Philippines and Entertainment City with casinos in Las Vegas-style, shopping malls, amusement parks, theaters, hotels, business offices, residential buildings and resorts. The project is under Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) owned by the Philippine government. Entertainment City will be Asia's Las Vegas-like gaming and entertainment complex that PAGCOR proposed to offer on 8 km² of land on the reclamation area of Manila Bay, Philippines. It lies the western side of Roxas Boulevard and south of SM Mall of Asia Complex, part of Parañaque. Investments to the project can reach up to $15 billion, which is scaled down from the more recent $20 billion budget announcement that had been previously announced in 2007. All investments will come from private companies. The First Resort-casino complex to open in Entertainment City is Bloomberry-owned Solaire Resort & Casino on March 16, 2013, Other resort casino complex to rise are City of Dreams Manila (opening 2014), Manila Bay Resorts (opening 2015) and Resorts World Bayshore (opening 2016). Although the PEA advertises Bay City as the "new business capital" of Manila, development is proceeding slowly.[1] The main major road in this area is Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard.

NEW YORK — Ray Guy is the first punter elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Joining the long-time Oakland Raider were two first-time eligible players, linebacker Derrick Brooks and offensive tackle Walter Jones.
The class of 2014 also included defensive end Michael Strahan, receiver Andre Reed, defensive back Aeneas Williams and defensive end Claude Humphrey, who like Guy was a senior selection.
The announcement was made Saturday night at NFL Honors, less than 24 hours before the Denver Broncos meet the Seattle Seahawks in the first Super Bowl in a non-domed stadium in a cold-weather city.
Among the finalists who didn't get in were two with ties to the Indianapolis Colts and current Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning — coach Tony Dungy and receiver Marvin Harrison.
Each of the incoming Hall of Famers walked to the stage and was announced individually. Strahan, who helped the Giants make two Super Bowls, got a huge cheer from the home crowd.
Induction will be on Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio.
Guy turned the punting job into a defensive weapon after he became the first player at his position to be selected in the first round of the draft in 1973. He made "hang time" part of the football vernacular while playing all of his 207 games in 14 seasons with the Raiders.
The Southern Mississippi product averaged 42.4 yards, falling under the 40-yard bar only during the strike-shortened 1982 season. Only three of his 1,049 punts were blocked, and he set an NFL record with 619 in a row without a block. He had 209 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, including 77 in his final three seasons.
Brooks was the cornerstone of a Bucs defense that led the league in 2002 and '05, and the NFC five times. He was the AP Defensive Player of the Year when Tampa Bay won its only Super Bowl after the 2002 season.

Mesa will hold its fourth City Hall at the Mall at Superstition Springs Center on Saturday in an effort to "bring city government directly to residents," city representatives said.
"City Hall at the Mall is a terrific way for Mesa residents to learn more about the numerous services we offer and meet the city staff," City Manager Chris Brady said. "They will get a chance to pick up information on everything from museum exhibits to what items can be recycled to opportunities to volunteer with the city."
This is the second year that the City Hall at the Mall has been held. The event is held twice annually - the other event is held in the spring at Fiesta Mall.
"City Hall at the Mall started because we wanted to bring local government directly to the residents," said Kevin Christopher, Mesa public information and communications specialist. "We provide easy access to locals about the resources we offer. The mall is the perfect place to hold it since people are always there."
City departments will have displays set up in the center court area of the mall to provide the public with information.
Participating departments are Police, Fire, Channel 11, Economic Development, Neighborhood Services, Library, Mesa Arts Center, Arizona Museum for Youth, Arizona Museum of Natural History, Public Information and Communications, City Manager's Office, City Council, Solid Waste, Transportation, and Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities.
Melissa Buxton, senior marketing manager for Superstition Springs Center and Fiesta Mall, said she received positive feedback about past City Hall at the Mall events.
"People love having city information at their fingertips," Buxton said. "A lot of people are familiar with the city of Mesa's Web site, but City Hall at the Mall gives them the opportunity to speak directly with the people and staff connected to the city."
The police and fire departments will have displays of a police helicopter, a K-9 unit, a SWAT Team armored truck, an emergency command van, a fire engine, and the rapid response unit.
The Transportation Department will be displaying the new Valley Metro Link bus, which will run directly from the Sycamore Transit Center to Superstition Springs Center starting Dec. 27.
Representatives of Superstition Springs Center will provide information about upcoming events at the mall. Shoppers will be able to hear about Kids Club, Doggie-Palooza and Macy's 150th anniversary.

BAE Systems recently completed a series of successful gun fire tests of the 155-mm Long Range Land Attack Projectiles (LRLAP) as part of ongoing testing at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
"This is a critical step forward for the U.S. Navy's 155mm LRLAP program. BAE Systems continues to progress on track for our qualification to support deployment of the Advanced Gun System on board the DDG 1000."
The purpose of the tests was to evaluate the performance of the LRLAP tactical rocket motors at ambient, cold and hot temperatures, and to test the live fire performance of the tactical warhead. The tests demonstrated that achieving accurate long-range fires through rocket-assisted, gun-launched, and Global Positioning System (GPS) guided projectiles can be done reliably and affordably while providing the desired effects on target. All test requirements were met or exceeded.
"We are pleased by the success of these guided flight gun tests," said Steven Schultz, acting vice president and general manager of Vehicle Systems at BAE Systems. "This is a critical step forward for the U.S. Navy's 155-mm LRLAP program. BAE Systems continues to progress on track for our qualification to support deployment of the Advanced Gun System on board the DDG 1000."
The LRLAP is effective against a variety of targets in multiple mission areas and was designed to provide expeditionary forces with an affordable, ship-launched alternative to currently used missiles. The LRLAP is guided by a GPS and Inertial Measurement Unit, allowing for a high degree of accuracy. This, in turn, assists expeditionary forces in reducing costs by requiring fewer rounds to achieve desired effects on targets. In addition, its accuracy minimizes the potential for collateral damage.
BAE Systems' next step is a Critical Design Review for the LRLAP, which is expected to occur in December 2012.

HSW International Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2010 Results
ATLANTA, March 29, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HSW International, Inc. (Nasdaq:HSWI), a leading developer and operator of next-generation web publishing platforms combining traditional web publishing with social media, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.
For the fourth quarter of 2010, HSW International reported revenue of $1.8 million, compared to $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2009, when the company recognized six months of revenue for web services provided to Sharecare. The fourth-quarter 2010 loss from operations was $(1.5) million, an improvement from the loss from operations of $(2.0) million in the comparable period of 2009. The net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 improved to $(1.7) million, or $(0.31) per share, compared to the net loss of $(2.5) million, or $(0.47) per share, that was reported in the fourth quarter of 2009.
For the full year 2010, HSW International reported revenue of $6.7 million, compared to $2.3 million for the full year of 2009. The 194% increase is due to providing a full year of web services for Sharecare, a Web 3.0 healthcare platform launched in October 2010, as well as web services to other customers. Gross profit for the year was $1.3 million, compared to a loss of $(0.6) million in 2009. The 2010 loss from operations was $(4.5) million, an improvement from the loss from operations of $(12.0) million for the full year of 2009. The net loss for the year 2010 was $(5.9) million, or $(1.10) per share, compared to $(11.9) million for 2009, or $(2.22) per share, for 2009. Included in the net loss for both periods is a net loss associated with the company's stake in Sharecare in the amount of $(1.5) million for 2010 and $(0.8) million for 2009."2010 was a transition year for HSWI as we shifted our focus back to the U.S. from our overseas ventures in order to get in front of a new growth curve that we believe is taking shape in the web publishing industry," said Greg Swayne, chairman and chief executive officer of HSW International. "Social media is changing the landscape for digital publishers, creating burgeoning opportunities for the development of new concepts. Having developed the platform for clients including Sharecare, HSWI has proven expertise in bringing to fruition Web 3.0 concepts that combine traditional web publishing with social media."

Buy my stuff! XD
gaia_crown I sell many different kinds of items here, all of which I try to keep at reasonable prices!
gaia_crown All equip-able items are usually sold at slightly lower than the lowest buy now price, so that they keep their value but also are the lowest buy price. (That is, unless someone else undercuts my price)
gaia_crown Feel free to PM me if you are willing to negotiate the price for cheaper, as long as it is within reason and you are polite about it. (see note below)
~I usually am willing to take a 3% discount for the trade to beat the tax, sometimes more if I am in a good mood. I will also take trades for sellable items or items that are of equal/ greater value.
~ Send a PM with the item you want as the subject, give your offer, and I will see what I can do for you! emotion_yatta
~ Please be clear and polite in your message as to what your trade is. Do not use "text type". It comes across as very careless, so if u tpye lik dis i am lss likly 2 accpt youre offr. I do not care about minor typos and grammatical errors, but I will not take your offer seriously if you will not even make an obvious attempt to type out a coherent message.
~ Please do not Pm me asking to trade or buy an item at a price ridiculously lower than the buy price. I will ignore you.I know you want to get a good deal on the item, but begging and haggling me is downright annoying and does not make me want to trade with you.
~ I should be able to respond within 24 hours if I am willing to trade (usually much sooner).

About PontiacPowered's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
It all started at an early age. My grandpa had a '70 Chevelle 502 4-speed with enough power to turn the world on its axis, and my dad had his '71 Cutlass. I grew up around these cars, I rode in them to school, to the grocery store, or even on friday nights to Dairy Queen to get a blizzard. After purchasing my first car, which is a boring daily driver, I got the chance to restore one of the cars I grew up with, my dads '71 Cutlass Supreme convertible. My dad and I did a quick job on it, but it came out great and I took it to my senior prom the next year, and occasionally to school. About a year after finishing the Olds, I had enough money saved up to look at buying a car for myself to restore and enjoy for the rest of my life. I looked long and hard for a '70 El Camino, but all the good ones were in California; a '66-67 GTO, but I couldnt find one in the right price range that wouldnt require an insane amount of money; and '68-70 Charger, hey, im allowed to dream. Anyways, I ran across a '69 Firebird on collector car trader that was nearby and was well priced. I looked at the car the next day and purchased it. After a 2-1/2 year restoration im now cruising around South Florida and enjoying every second of driving my Firebird.
My first car
1999 Ford F150 (still have it)
My dream car
'69 Trans Am Convertible 4-Speed
'70 Buick GSX 4-Speed
- Type of racing: Road racing/Trans Am series
- Driver: Me
- Driving song: Serpent's Kiss by Symphony X
- Car movie: Bullitt
- Car magazine: Hot Rod

Love and Hate
The ups, downs and overall delights of parenthood
Oct 13, 2010
I Love Finding the 'Right Fit' for My Kids
With kids, one size does not fit all, whether it's clothing or a dance studio. I THOUGHT I knew that – yet I just had to learn it all over again
When Suzi asked to return to dance classes last year, I said, "Sure!"
Knowing she'd outgrown the cheap community-center classes she had taken as a toddler, I asked around and found the best ballet studio I could afford.
When she saw The Studio she said, "Mom, I want to go to my OLD school."
Tut, tut, silly thing. "No, honey," I explained. "This place is much better."
Suzi padded into her class uncertainly and came out, an hour later, confused.
"Was it fun?" I asked enthusiastically.
"It's OK, Mommy, but I want to go to my old class," she said. But Mommy knew best. Soon after, Suzi's big sister Patti joined in and both my girls were attending The Studio. Nothing but the best for them.
But after a while, I noticed unsettling things. The ballet teacher yelled at the kids constantly. Patti, who usually wilted under pressure, thrived with her screamy new teacher. Suzi? Not so much. Three months later came parent observation day. Patti beamed proudly throughout her class. Suzi frowned and rushed around nervously, making sure she was always in the right place; that her feet and arms were always in the correct position. She progressed quickly, but didn't seem to be enjoying it. We were well into rehearsals for the spring recital, and Suzi no longer complained.
By the end of the year, I realized Suzi never looked forward to dance class. Sure, she loved the glitz of the recital, but that was about it. I regretted dragging her to The Studio and started prodding her to go back to the community center.
"No, that's OK," she would say, frowning. "I'll stay here with Patti."
I must have asked her a hundred times if she really wanted to stay there. And she always said yes. Always sadly.
When dance classes started again in September, Suzi whined before every class. She didn't want to go. And no wonder. She just wanted to have fun, but there were so many rules to follow. She had to wear a certain color shoes, tights and leotard. Plus, from this year, she had to wear her hair in a bun. And the teacher continued yelling.
I made Suzi sit down and tell me why she wanted to continue at The Studio. Out poured a year's worth of tears and frustration. Turns out Suzi was often teary-eyed in class, though she'd never told me. She was scared of her teacher and pretty much hated ballet now. But she refused to quit.
I checked into the old community center classes. Sure enough, there was one meeting at the same time as her Studio class – AND her very best friend was in it! Yet still, she refused to leave her sister's Studio behind and go back to her old class. So I made the decision for her.
I signed Suzi up for the cheap, so-so classes of her youth. Dress restrictions? None. Required hairstyle? Are you kidding?
Last night Suzi hoofed it up in her new/old class with 16 other girls. There was no angry demand for grace and perfection from the teacher. And when class was over, Suzi didn't slump out of the room, sweating and sad. She ran and hugged me, smiling all the way.
I only wish I'd listened – really listened – much sooner.
