Marc - I don't argue. I just look at facts. if it is more convenient for someone to take frequent flier miles to get to Europe and get a $1000 credit then they are doing the right thing, even if they might have gotten there cheaper another way. Maybe so, but maybe not as conveniently. Every case is different.
My understanding is that Regent raised their fares before they started this "free" air thing. But a lot of cruise lines are raising prices now anyway and offering nothing, so in itself that proves nothing.
But I do know that sister company "Oceania" just got their knuckles rapped by some gov't agency for claiming they had free air when in fact there were hidden service charges in the cruise fare - so...
But if a person is a satisfied customer who am I to tell them they are wrong? It is worth it to some people to pay extra for something they really like - not everyone has the same way of perceiving value.
I will pay extra for food I like, a bigger TV or a BluRay movie. Big TVs cost more per square inch - but does that mean I am getting ripped off? No.
That is what puts luxury cruising in a different category. A lot of it is personal taste. Some people want small ships, some people want bigger ones, some want the same waiter every night, some want open seating.
I do know that Eric has a lot of experience with the luxury lines - but he also seems to be enough of a pro that he understands that everyone deserves the right to their own opinion.

Primary globe repair
Meeting Abstract
Search Medline for
|June 18, 2008
Concepts in management of corneo scleral lacerations:
Approach to a patient with Ocular Trauma:
Whenever confronted with a patient of ocular trauma, as an ophthalmologist one must 'take a step back' and try and rule out life threatening injuries. All the patients with open globe injuries should be evaluated on a emergency basis, evaluation should include brief history mainly highlighting about the details of incidence and object which lead to ocular trauma. Quick comprehensive clinical examination, making sure that no more trauma is caused to the traumatized eyes. The initial four prong management is carried out in patients with ocular trauma.
Four Pronged Initial Management
- To minimize possibility of further trauma.
- Minimize risk of infection.
- Minimize psychological trauma to the patient and his family
- Minimize legal problems to yourself and to your institute
Goals of primary globe repair:
- Restoration of structural integrity
- Achieve watertight closure
- Prevent infection
- Smooth and optically effective refractive surface
- Refractive closure: Spherical cornea
- minimize astigmatism
- better contact lens fitting
- Reduce scarring
- Removal of disrupted lens and vitreous
- Avoid uveal and vitreous incarceration
- Removal of intraocular foreign bodies
- Do no harm !
Surgical Principles:
- 10-0 Nylon or 11-0 Nylon for cornea, 7-0 vicryl or 8-0 vicryl for sclera
- Perpendicular to laceration
- 90 % Depth
- Equal depth
- Length 1.5 - 2 mm
- Knot : 2 - 1 - 1 or 3 - 1 - 1
- Burying the knot
- Vertical & Shelved Linear lacerations - Vertical incisions closed first

Critical Context
(Literary Essentials: Nonfiction Masterpieces)
Weil's assertion that submission and toil may become redemptive is similar to the moral of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's portrayal of forced labor found in his book Odin den Ivana Denisovicha (1962; One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, 1963). Circumstances and setting differ, but both authors have placed the universal into the work scene. Nevertheless, "Factory Journal" would be better compared to Blaise Pascal's masterpiece Pensees (1670; English translation, 1688); indeed, there are similarities in the unpolished notebook styles. To compare the jottings of the inexperienced Weil with those of the mathematical genius and mystic, however, is hardly reasonable. Nevertheless, Simone Weil has much in common with Pascal, as her later writings make clear. Like the earlier Frenchman, she sought the highest in a solitary quest. She also would wait upon the "fire divine," which Pascal struggled to put into words in his account of a consuming mystical moment.
Simone Weil did not write great or epic literature, and the ideas expressed in her notebooks and essays are often paradoxical, contradictory, and unfinished. Consequently, critics have attempted to analyze her rather than her writings. Alfred Kazin's interest, for example, was in the manner and direction of her life. Because some suspected the odor of sanctity around her life, there have been few neutral reactions to her. She has been measured by the highest...

Beijing The CIA is offering a rare glimpse into its successes and failures at trying to understand China during its first communist decades in a huge cache of newly declassified documents released this week in Washington.
The group of 71 intelligence reports covers three decades until 1976, the year communist founder Mao Zedong died. They reflect the U.S. intelligence agency's struggle to track China's political and economic evolution, its rise as a military power and its break with its former Soviet patrons.
"The documents in this volume played an essential role in helping U.S. government leaders and officials formulate policy toward" China after the 1949 revolution, Robert Suettinger, a former intelligence analyst, wrote in an introduction to the collection.
"They are, in a sense, some of the foundation stones for a work that is still in progress."
The CIA says the reports, which include high-level National Intelligence Estimates, are the biggest single batch of declassified agency documents ever released.
They indicate that despite occasional missteps, assessments often were generally accurate. They included the conclusion that the Communist Party faced no serious challenges to its control, despite American support for Taiwan's rival Nationalists, which fled the mainland in 1949 after losing a civil war and hoped to return to power.
And despite conflicting signals during the chaos of the ultra-radical 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, they also foresaw that moderate political and military leaders would emerge to take power.
However, occasional mistakes also are revealed as the analysts tried to follow the secretive Beijing government, relying on Hong Kong press reports, interviews with ethnic Chinese who had visited relatives on the mainland, and other secondhand sources.
As China prepared to explode its first nuclear bomb, the CIA was aware of the preparations, but thought the country hadn't produced enough fissionable material for a test before the end of 1964. China set off its first explosion Oct. 16, 1964.
The CIA also initially underestimated the scale and importance of the Sino-Soviet split -- the souring of Beijing's relations with its former patrons in Moscow that began in the 1950s.
Analysts said in 1966 that an open break was unlikely. Three years later, the rancor erupted into bloody border clashes.
The reports show another miscalculation by analysts, who relied on falsified statistics while forecasting China's economic outlook in the late 1950s. It is a problem Chinese leaders even today complain about -- phony economic figures made up by low-level officials eager to make themselves look good.
While expressing skepticism at some numbers, the analysts nonetheless issued an upbeat economic outlook in the late 1950s.
In reality, the country was sliding toward disaster. The Great Leap Forward, an attempt at rapid industrialization, was on the brink of failure. The country fell into a slump that would cause as many as 30 million deaths from famine in 1959-61.
Some reports can sound eerily contemporary.
A 1961 document says Beijing "will continue its refusal to renounce the use of force for the seizure of Taiwan" -- a position that the mainland government espouses today.
"But," the report said, "we believe that concern over retaliation by the U.S. will deter it from attempting a military conquest of Taiwan."

6 Movies About Poets That You Will Actually Like
Poets don't make the best movie characters because poetry is an inherently uncinematic form. It's all about words on the page–a difficult idea for any decent filmmaker to understand. But despite this handicap, there are still some pretty good movies about poets out there, although most of them are admittedly light on actual poetry. Here are 6 of them (What? We aren't all poets).
We'll start off with an exception to the rule, "Howl" is a movie about a poet that DOES feature actual poetry very heavily. And, what do you know, the poetry is actually pretty good. This could be because "Howl" is about real-life poet Allen Ginsberg, whose real-life titular poem "Howl" placed him in a courtroom on obscenity charges in the 1950's. The movie alternates between flashbacks of Ginsberg's life, scenes from the obscenity trial, and the actual poem brought to life by animation.
"Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters"
Japanese artist Yukio Mishima was only a poet when he wasn't engaging in his dozens of other pursuits–writing, acting, directing, committing ritual suicide, painting–but Paul Schrader's "Mishima" is one of the best, and most poetic, movies ever made. Schrader utilizes a wide variety of cinematic styles in order to bring Mishima's life, along with several of his literary works, to the screen. The result is unlike any other movie ever made.
"The Petrified Forest"
Leslie Howard in "The Petrified Forest" is a writer, intellectual, and poet. Humphrey Bogart in "The Petrified Forest" is a criminal, escaped fugitive, and killer. Normally, they wouldn't ever have occasion to meet, but sometimes fate makes abnormal things happen. We don't get to see much of Howard's poetry in the movie, but it's a sure bet that it got a lot more interesting after he met Bogart.
Jean Cocteau was a poet in addition to a filmmaker, and he is often considered a poet of the screen. And his movie "Orpheus"–the central film in a trilogy dealing with the myth of Orpheus–has a poet as the main character. Filled with of a kind of visual poetry, simple special effects are utilized to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
"Bonnie and Clyde"
Of course, not all poets are full-time professionals. Take Bonnie Parker, one half of the infamous bank-robbing duo Bonnie and Clyde. They become folk heroes during the Great Depression, despite their proclivity for violence and death. Bonnie plays up her newfound fame in a pretty interesting way–by sending poems to the newspapers, who publish them, of course. By the way, the poems in the movie are the very same poems written by the real-life Bonnie Parker.
"A Bucket of Blood"
Poetry's alright, but is there any need to take it so seriously all the time? Roger Corman's comic horror masterpiece "A Bucket of Blood" is a hilarious satire of the then-current beat poetry scene (the same scene that's given such rapturous adoration in "Howl"). The character of Maxwell H. Brock is a poet who accidentally inspires the movie's "hero," Walter Paisley, to practice his own form of art, which accidentally ends up taking the form of murder. Brock's poetry is pretty hilarious, although the only reason it's funny is because Brock takes it so seriously!

Jibade-Khalil Huffman – The End of the New World (and) Sculpture for Jeffrey Tambor
The sound of the slide projector is regular and dependable in the space: constant fan cools the motor, a mechanical shift and drop of each slide, one sound over the other, again and again. This mechanical action that is attendant to old fashion projectors changes my understanding of light, and for me the beam has presence on its journey to the wall, as heat, and as intent.
The slide images in Jibade-Khalil Huffman's The End of the New World are full of colors and angles, and the images from the three projectors often collide and make increasingly complicated patterns. The complication that Huffman makes is unlike cell growth – which goes only one way, toward denser complexity – and is more like stasis, or balance. The carrels are filled partly and empty slots make areas of void. These voids moderate the growth, and in fact rebuke the notion of growth, with their moments of blinding white laid over color, and then only shocking white and then total black.
Hmm. Thinking of Huffman's title, The End of the New World, and thinking that the assumption of growth underlays everything we do in this world (whether it be New or old), I wonder whether there is room to view this work as a political statement? It would be nice if the future was colorful and interesting, rather than exciting. The darkness and the voids disturb me in my vision, but perhaps I take this idea too far.
Because I am looking at rectangles of color on a wall, I think of paintings, and perhaps this impulse belongs to the old, New World that is over. I often imagine, when one thing looks like another, that it is due to some laziness on my part; it seems too easy in this instance to pour forth language that applies to geometric abstraction and so, having raised the issue, I will let it drop.
Indeed, that Huffman is a poet leads me to wonder about the role of language in this work. In the moment of looking I think of a "poem" I once saw and read at MOCA, Carl Andre's 1967 Letter to Yvonne Rainer. Huffman also shows a text piece in The Props, Sculpture for Jeffrey Tambor, a light box printed with the noun "APPLESAUCE" and this flashes off and on in a slow rhythm. I watched the changing, concrete grids of color and I remembered Andre's text-filled page of graph paper. I imagine to myself that a letter is somehow less concrete than other uses of language – letters convey the idea of a conversation, and such an exchange even in real time and face to face has no weight, correspondence isn't even fiction; and then Lauren Mackler turned and pointed above the entry to Sculpture for Jeffrey Tambor and I saw "applesauce" and imagined goopy, sweet stuff, recognized that I was seeing a word and processed this information as the light behind the word flickered on and then off, for a long time. The moment passed.
The sculpture before me – three pedestals, three black slide projectors throwing white light, colored light, and blackness, one electrical cord leading down the rear-most pedestal, and tape – this light-throwing sculpture with its doubtful periodicity uses its most insubstantial feature – light – to alter my experience of the room, and maybe the room itself: occasional long periods of white light make the surrounding art and architecture recede and shrink, then a moment of strong color will be tempered by bright overlay from one or two projectors without slides, in the moments of black, when the wall is without reflected light, video works, lighted sculptures and passing cars gain presence again, and then this moment passes, too.
Perhaps it is the darkness makes me feel confessional: yestereve I drank blueberry wine, a lot of blueberry wine, in the warm night air under a flight path and a matched giant pair of black birds of paradise. Several of us took this almost-spirit, we talked of cuckolds and of irony and children who are queered and of Identity as a thing that is conferred, sometimes. In darkness, under the sway of wine, there were colored lights next door. Yes, there were colored lights.
Act II – The Props at Public Fiction closed last night with a performance by Ali Prosch and Meghann McCrory. I wish I had been able to attend.

More OSV orders for Aker Yards
Aker Yards continues to reel in OSV orders.
Today it announced it has received orders fo build two further large construction vessels for DOFCON ASA
This follows the announcement yesterday of a contract with Farstad Supply AS, to deliver one UT 751 CD platform supply vessel.
Both the DOFCON vessels will be built at Aker Yards, Soviknes, Norway.
One of the vessels is of Aker OSCV 06 L design, developed by Aker Yards Project, and will be delivered from the yard in spring 2009.
The vessel is of 153 meters l.o.a. It will be built to DP Class 3 and Ice Class.
The vessel will have a maximum speed of 18,5 knots, considered important for global operations in order to minimize mobilisation time.
The other vessel is scheduled for delivery spring 2008. It will be of 118 meters l.o.a. and will be equipped with a 250 tonnes offshore crane. It too will be built to DP Class 3 and is also designed by Aker Yards Project.
The value of the two DOFCON contracts is approximately NOK 1,175 millions (about $188 million).
DOFCON now has six large construction vessels under construction for delivery in 2008 and 2009.
The contract with Farstad Supply AS is worth NOK 320 million (about $51 million) and is the 21st between Farstad Shipping and Aker Yards.
The hull for the 94 m vessel will be built in Braila, Romania and outfitted at Aker Yards, Brevik.
Delivery of the vessel is scheduled for January 2009.

Berlin The strikers are scoring, the defense is holding and Germany is off to its best World Cup start in 36 years.
Miroslav Klose scored twice to help the World Cup host beat Ecuador 3-0 on Tuesday. The victory gave Germany the maximum nine points and first place in Group A. Lukas Podolski also scored for Germany, which last won its first three matches at a World Cup in 1970.
Even better than the prolific offense - eight goals in the first round - is a once-vulnerable defense that has not conceded a goal in two straight games.
"Our goal was to win the group and we achieved this," Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann said. "We are looking forward to the knockout stage. Our strikers are in really good shape, they are working hard and scoring. But it will be more difficult to score in later rounds, so they will have to work even harder."
Both teams were assured of advancing to the second round before the kickoff.
Klose, who now has nine World Cup goals, finished strong German pressure early in the match when he scored in the fourth minute.
"Miro has been in great form for months," Klinsmann said of Klose, who led the Bundesliga last season with 25 goals.
England 2, Sweden 2
Cologne, Germany - England finally got a result against Sweden it can live with.
No, not a win - that has been too much to ask for. The tie was enough for the English to win Group B at the World Cup and set up a second-round game against Ecuador on Sunday in Stuttgart.
It also means Sweden has to face three-time champion and World Cup host Germany in Munich in the second round Saturday.
Poland 2, Costa Rica 1
Hanover, Germany - Poland's first 2006 World Cup victory again came too late. Bartosz Bosacki scored twice in a Group A game between two teams already eliminated from the tournament.
Poland also won its last game at the 2002 World Cup, when it beat the United States 3-1 in South Korea after dropping its first two group games.
Paraguay 2, Trinidad and Tobago 0
Kaiserslautern, Germany - This own-goal went in Paraguay's favor and knocked Trinidad and Tobago right out of the World Cup.
Brent Sancho headed a ball past his own goalkeeper in the 25th minute and Trinidad and Tobago never recovered.

OK. If you haven't read my previous post where MOSSO blew my mind, go read it now. Then be prepared to be REALLY blown away.
I said I could create one domain that runs Windows and another that runs Linux – all on the same account.
I said I could run Windows with MS SQL or with MySQL.
I said I could run Windows and Ruby on Rails, or Linux and Ruby on Rails.
All of that amazed me.
But I had NO IDEA that I could run, ON ONE DOMAIN .Net, PHP, MySQL, and MS SQL. I didn't realize that my .Net app could talk to my MySQL database AND my MS SQL database. Or that my PHP app could talk to my MySQL and MS SQL databases.
That my Linux apps could talk to my Windows databases. And vise-versa.
All on the same domain.
All on the same domain!
I didn't realize how many choices I had, and how many ways I could serve my clients all on one box – regardless of the application, database, Operating System, etc.
I honestly need to sit and think for a while because I have no clue how all of this can be true. Just thinking about the back end that serves this is making my head spin a little bit. The front-end – the part *I* work with is just DROP DEAD EASY.
I've got a feeling the back end is a bit more complex 🙂
The back end is where the BMVS (Black Magic Voodoo Shit) happens. And it is some serious magic.
In my F.A.Q. page I say DesqView X is my favorite software ever. Because it was magic.
But I think I need to update my F.A.Q. now. MOSSO is making my head spin.
It honestly seems impossible.
And if I would not have been lucky enough to just talk to one of the inventors of the technology I probably still wouldn't believe it.
My brain must rest.
Amazing. After being at Rackspace all day yesterday, and visiting their new site the day before, I was already wondering if I shouldn't just go work for them. Rackspace is an amazing company.
But now I know. If I leave consulting, I am applying at MOSSO.
It is that freaking cool.

Since unarmed Black teenager Mike Brown was shot and killed by police in Ferguson, Missouri last weekend, BlogHer's Love & Sex editor Feminista Jones took to Twitter to plan a National Moment of Silence at 7p.m. EST/ 4p.m. PST today. But there was a lot of confusion since last night, when the hacker group Anonymous began promoting its own event, Day of Rage, using the same times and locations planned for peaceful vigils around the country, catching the attention of Twitter using the #DayofRage hashtag and garnering mainstream media coverage .
A protest in New York's Union Square, where arrests were reported and multiple arrests were threatened, according to many people reporting on Twitter, was not organized through #NMOS14:
. @TiffanyECook Anon co-opted #NMOS14 and took their "day of rage" to times square. Wasn't us. All peace here.
— #NMOS14 (@FeministaJones) August 15, 2014
It's important to clarify that the National Moment of Silence, or #NMOS14, was NOT the same as the Day of Rage and that the women who have been organizing the vigils in no way encouraged or condoned violence at tonight's events. "I feel like I have been stabbed," Feminista told me over the phone this morning. "For the last four days we have been tirelessly working to organizing vigils from Maine to Hawaii."
The @Anonymous Twitter account was suspended for allegedly revealing personal information, including the name of the police officer involved in the shooting of Mike Brown.
I was worried for the safety of people who are planning to peacefully gather to remember the victims of police brutality. Mikki Kendall had this advice for people attending the National Moment of Silence, just in case events escalate:
No jewelry, comfy slip on shoes & clothes. Sports bras, plain undies, water bottles & a change of clothes in your bag. #NMOS14— Mikki Kendall (@Karnythia) August 14, 2014
Feminista held a conference call last night with 75 organizers of local vigils (there were over 100 locations around the country). She said, "I have all the faith in the world that this is going to come together."
I believe in you. I believe in each and every one of you and your ability to make history.
We are here with peace and love #NMOS14— #NMOS14 (@FeministaJones) August 14, 2014

There is a lot of misinformation floating around about how to best care for your skin. Ignoring myths and using a down to earth approach towards skin care can yield optimal results. The following tips are just that; ideas about skin care that you can use.
To moisturize you skin, try jasmine extract. Apply jasmine extract daily and you will develop a warm and healthy glow to your skin. Not only is it soothing, it is also loaded with helpful antioxidants. Be advised though, that it may be more difficult to find this product compared to other regular moisturizers. It may be higher priced than regular lotion, too.
Consult a dermatologist if you find that your skin problems are not improving. There a lots of people out there who make their skin conditions worse by not seeking out proper treatment methods.
Read the bottle to see how often you'll need to reapply the sunscreen. You may find sunscreen easier to put on as a powder. For this you use a dry brush, avoiding the heavy oiliness of creams. This powder comes in a small container, convenient to carry.
If you wear prescription glasses daily, it is important to clean them regularly. Dirt and grime can get caught between the crevices, and on the bridge, of your glasses. The end result might be bacteria formation on your skin and clogged pores. Clean the bridge of the glasses with a simple soap and water application.
Do not ever put on socks or gloves that are wet or damp. This can cause your skin to crack and itch.
Try to live as stress-free of a life as you can. Your skin can actually be damaged by too much stress. You should reduce emotional and environmental stress if your complexion needs clearing up. This will also improve other parts of your life, too.
To take better care of your skin, cut back on the amount of sugary foods that you consume. The breakdown of sugar by the body damages collagen, which keeps skin both smooth and firm. Try to eat carbohydrates comprised of less sugar so that you maintain high collagen levels.
Prolonged exposure to the sun can lead to many different skin problems, including cancer and wrinkles. You should make sure to wear sunscreen any time you are exposed to the sun.
Do research and tailor your skin care to your skin type. As an example, if you have oily skin, it is pointless to buy products for dry skin. If you're not sure what kind of skin you have, think about seeing a skincare consultant for some initial guidance.
If you have a normal skin type, you should still be sure to use a moisturizer. All skin needs to be moisturized, even skin that is not currently experiencing dryness. If you skip the hydration step, imbalanced skin and wrinkles could be the result.
Olive oil is great for both skin and hair. The cosmetic and healthful properties of olive oil have made it a common skin care product for hundreds of years, even as far back as the ancient Egyptian Empire. This beauty secret is tasty too. Extra virgin olive oil promotes radiance to the complexion, improves elasticity to the skin and strengthens brittle nails. It can also condition and make the hair shinier.
Rejuvenate skin and slough away dead skin cells by using a loofah. Getting the dead skin cells off your skin will brighten it and give it a healthy glow. You can have a prematurely aged look if there are too many layers of dying skin cells. Removing dead skin cells, or exfoliating, is a wonderful way to renew the skin.
To keep your facial skin looking its best, remove all your makeup before going to bed at night. When you wash off makeup, you also eliminate excess oil build-up and slow down the growth of harmful bacteria. You can only attain fresh-looking skin if you have had enough sleep.
You can get rid of a pimple with a sterile blade. A come-dome extractor should be used to drain the pus. This method will help to relieve the pressure of the pimple and help the area to heal quickly.
You don't need expensive products or unconventional methods to get a flawless complexion. Instead, you can have great skin if you understand how to care your skin. If you follow the guidelines from this article, you will find it easier to get and keep gorgeous, healthy skin.

Maybe we will find a glitch for Net10.
As for used Tracfones:
You know with Google finally rolling out Google Voice (the revamped Grand Central) it gives us something to do with all these used tracfones.
hint: glitch + used phone = 300 minutes for one days usage. New phone with a new number every day.

Now lets say you have 2 active tracfones (or net10 phones)
And you want to merge them to become 1 (and keep using one of the same phones and #'s -- moving the days and units from one active phone to another active phone)
Can that be easily done? Without new sim cards?
I am willing to bet it would require at least a call to CS.
I've done it, but I was nervous because someone told me that CS has gotten it wrong before. I always constantly make sure that they understand which phone I want to keep and that they keep the correct phone number.Originally Posted by Extraordinary
If the phone you want to transfer the minutes to is a gsm phone then yes you will have to call CS. You cannot transfer to an active gsm phone online.Originally Posted by Extraordinary
If the phone you are transferring the minutes to already has the number you want to keep you will not need a new sim card. If you need to change the number on the receiving phone you will need a new sim card.
If the receiving phone is a cdma phone you can do it online.
Online, if the donor phone is gsm and the receiving phone is cdma you can either transfer the number from the gsm or keep the existing number on the cdma. Same way if you call CS.
Online, if both phones are cdma the number on the phone that you transfer the minutes from will have to transfer to the receiving phone. With CS you can transfer just the minutes & days.
When transferring, whether online or with CS, the donor phone is the "OLD PHONE" and the receiving phone is the "NEW PHONE". If transferring with CS make sure the understand whether you want to transfer the number or just the minutes and days.
Note I asked how to transfer TO a NEW GSM phone ONLINE... Something that wasn't covered until jimates's reply.Originally Posted by tracnet
thank you all for the great information on transferring a new net 10 phone minutes & time onto the old one.
I may have answered my own question somewhat but I am about to do this online with my wife's phone so any feedback is much appreciated. Let me preface by saying that I would rather transfer my minutes and time online than through customer service. I understand that currently this cannot be done online from a new already activated phone which includes 300 to an "old" phone with remaining minutes/time. In my case of purchasing bundles of identical refurb phones with included airtime + cards and wanting to do it through the net10 website, would I have to always end up using the "new" phone by transferring my "old" phone's tel # minutes/time to the new one?
If I am correct about this last question, how do I do that? I see that the "transfer number" and "activate/reactivate" links take me to the same choices after loggin into the net10 account and I can select "Activate my NET10 phone with a number transferred from another NET10 phone." which then lets me pick my existing phone's serial # from the list and enter the new phone's serial and nickname.
I am guessing that the next page activates the phone and that is it.
So all that is left is to tranfer contacts to the new phone from the old every time I do this "upgrade" to an identical phone. Is anyone using a usb data cable and software to save/transfer contacts and could you point me in the right direction. I see tons on ebay for around $5 but not sure on compatibility and then software.
Unrelated to my last post but maybe helpful to some
I called customer service and it took roughly 20 minutes but it works.
In my case i used the lg300 (refurb 300 included + 200 air card)
I purchased several of these phones a few weeks ago which are identical and these are the steps that I took to complete the transfer from new phone to old.
1st I had an activated phone (old phone) with # that i wanted to keep with remaining minutes and time
2nd I followed the normal activation process for new phone on the website by clicking "Activate my NET10 phone with a new number, or Reactivate my NET10 phone." (phone activates with zero minutes and zero time left)
3rd waited for phone to pickup on network for couple hours (power on and off) but it did not update minutes and time so I called the activation line and programmed using code entry mode which adds minutes and time.
4th called tech support and they transferred the new phone minutes and time to old phone after a series of giving them the new phone's serial, sim tel # (had to pragram tel # for new phone 1st because there was not one assigned yet)
Well, here we go again folks........I dealt with all this with the infamous tipstir. Would somebody else PLEASE step in here and explain this to volmark? Thank you.Originally Posted by volmark
If volmark had done just a little bit of research on the subject on HoFo (or elsewhere), he would know the horrors of repeated harvesting of minutes from new and/or refurbished phones.Originally Posted by tracnet
Pick up all the phones that Trackfone knows you posess and KISS THEM GOODBY (along with the airtime).
i have been looking all over and have not found the horrors of harvesting minutes from new and or refurb phones.
What is wrong with doing that? Other than needing to update contacts in the new phone what is the problem? Will net 10 cut me off if I keep loggin in and upgrading through my own account?
Warning - N00B Question
If I am porting a number out of Net10 with minutes, would I have to transfer the minutes before the port? Would the port automatically eliminate the minutes, if I did not transfer them first?
Porting the number will deactivate the phone.Originally Posted by cityhopper
You can't transfer anything from an inactive phone.
If you do port the number out you can reactivate the old phone.
A new sim will be needed if it is a gsm phone.
If you reactivate within 30 days the minutes that remained on the phone at the time of deactivation should come back.
You will have to add an airtime card for reactivation unless you reactivate by transferring from another phone. If you transfer from another phone the minutes that did remain on the phone will likely be lost.

Still painful after all these years ... Greta Garbo plays the suicidal Anna Karenina with her son in the 1935 Oscar-winner. Photograph: Hulton Getty
"One of the greatest tragedies of my life," wrote Oscar Wilde in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying, "is the death of Lucien de Rubempré. It is a grief from which I have never been able completely to rid myself. It haunts me in my moments of pleasure. I remember it when I laugh."
Such were remarks Wilde penned not on a flesh and blood acquaintance but on one of Balzac's most exquisite characters, the fragile poet/arriviste first seen ground up and spat out by the human grinder that is the 19th century Parisian society of Lost Illusions. De Rubempré resurfaces later in the magnificent A Harlot High and Low, only to hang himself with a silk cravat in the dungeons of Paris's Conciergerie. Leaving aside a fictional destiny of boom and bust that foreshadows, in a sense, Wilde's own, one could construe his remarks above as typical - an arch, even camp, witticism on nothing more than a book he was fond of.
Then again, Borges, a great admirer, said of Wilde that he "was a profound man who tried to seem frivolous." So perhaps we should leave our chortles aside and take Wilde at his word - that the death of a fictional character is a bereavement as intense as that of any friend or member of one's family.
Readers might well balk at this idea. In an average week, it is helpful to distinguish between that which we experience with our five senses, and that which goes on between the covers of a book. Healthy society agrees that to mix fiction and reality makes for a bad life cocktail. Fiction, as American author John Gardner had it, is one "vivid and continuous dream". And life not.
Fine, but if we look at the question of memory, and how we remember events, such a distinction doesn't quite hold. I'm thinking here of American psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, whose research with patients who have mistakenly believed themselves to be victims of abuse, or, in certain cases, are convinced they have been abducted by aliens, has raised the question as to whether our memories themselves are not fictions. One can disregard the extent to which a delusional patient may recall events that never happened, but what is one to make of the case of American actor Alan Alda who, invited to a picnic by Loftus's disciples, refused a plateful of hard boiled eggs, invoking a childhood memory that the mischievous memory experts had seeded earlier, on inviting him to complete a questionnaire?
You may argue that actors are suggestible fellows, but even so Loftus's research leads us down some troubling paths, not just in that field of the dodginess or not of legal testimony she specialises in. The Alda incident suggests that our memory is something malleable, can produce new narratives according to circumstance. We might then wonder the degree to which the "real" life we recollect is something of an exercise in creative writing. I am not suggesting here that we are lying all the time - though most of us, when drafting a CV, for instance, must tax to a certain extent our myth-making capacities. Rather, Loftus's research points to something akin to an instinct by which our remembered lives are like a novel we write and rewrite.
I'm not quite sure this demeans us. Doesn't fiction often seem like a higher reality? Concerning Balzac, Wilde went on to say that he " reduces our living friends to shadows, and our acquaintances to the shadows of shades." Perhaps we unconsciously rework our memories because reality is often more insubstantial than fiction. There can be nothing more flattering, after all, than to be told that one's life is like a book. Wilde, even to the last hours of his merry and tragic life, strove for fictional effects, wishing to rewrite the hideous wallpaper out of his deathbed scene in the Latin Quarter's Maison du Perier. His earlier grief for the passing of Lucien de Rubempré was all too visceral because Lucien was all too alive. Not fiction, but our life, as the rowing boat rhyme goes, is a dream.

CPI-M lauds TRAI on discriminatory tariff
New Delhi, Feb 9 (IANS) The CPI-M on Tuesday welcomed the TRAI's decision to disallow service providers from offering or charging discriminatory tariff for data services on the basis of content.
The Communist Party of India-Marxist said it "has always held that net neutrality is a fundamental pillar of the internet".
"The consultation process was conducted amid an unprecedented publicity drive by Facebook and certain other companies to sway public opinion but they failed to do so," it said in a statement.
"The decision of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) in this case and its efforts of conducting consultations is to be commended.
"The CPI-M also wishes to use this opportunity to impress on the government the need for improving access to the internet to all sections of the society so that they can benefit from the immense potential of the medium."

I'm quite sure I was ten years old when I read the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. Consequently, my memory of it is very hazy, and I could do with rereading it, especially as it sits in my sister's bookshelf all ready for me, waiting.
Luckily I caught the film running on telly and noticed that Lyra, played by a Dakota Blue Richards, has enough costume changes for me to make a post about her. American renaming baffles me, so I can't quite account for why 'Northern Lights' was changed to 'The Golden Compass' except to be more consistent with the other titles in the trilogy.
Lyra's wardrobe changes with her circumstances, and if you've read or watched this before, you'll know her circumstances change a lot. Nevertheless, whether she's in a posh townhouse or in the middle of a glacier, she's always dressed practically but creatively, using colour and texture to fit in with her surroundings.
'The Golden Compass' film was released in 2007, but Lyra's pinafores fit right into the current trend. The tartan one is to die for, though I can't find any more images of it, unfortunately.
The embroidered detailing of Lyra's coat is just beautiful, and the gold trim and combination of burgundy and cream colours give it quite an imperial look. The leather satchel is of course to contain her precious Alethiometer.
I think my favourite ensemble, however, is her massive chunky knit cardigan with red tights. I'm a big fan of coloured opaque tights and wouldn't have thought of matching it to a big cardi like this, but I think it looks very cute. The different hues and fuzzy textures in the cardigan with her fur boots make her clothes really interesting to look at, which is what I aim for when dressing.
For me, the blue dress definitely conjures up Alice in Wonderland, which is very appropriate for her age, and how she is flung into the depths of a complicated and furtive adult world. Below is what Lyra wears while on the Gyptians' boats.

Have a Happier Valentine's Day… and St. Patrick's Day, Easter, etc.
Approaching any major holiday, consumers are surrounded with candies and processed foods containing synthetic food dyes. Increasingly, these dyes have been found to increase hyperactivity and other disturbed behavior in children.
Two new consumer tools from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) help parents make smart choices about foods not containing brain toxins.
"The latest science indicates that even modest amounts of synthetic food dyes can affect learning in children," said David Wallinga, MD, Director of IATP's Food and Health program. "Parents shouldn't have to be chemists to find healthy food that helps growing brains. We can do better."
Branded Food/Dye Database
IATP's web-based Brain Food Selector™ (www.iatp.org/brainfoodselector) is a database that helps parents easily find which foods contain synthetic dyes. Parents can search by brand, product type or food dye.
A Parent's Primer
IATP's Smart Guide to Food Dyes describes why synthetic food dyes are used, associated children's health concerns, and what parents can do. [Note: Don't miss Appendix One on page 4, linking illnesses & dyes.]
Synthetic food dyes, mostly petroleum-derived, are unnecessary. FDA-approved uses for synthetic food dyes include:
• Making foods more fun (e.g., Valentine's sprinkles or brightly colored candies);
• Coloring for otherwise colorless foods (e.g., lime sherbet);
• And enhancing natural color.
Synthetic food dyes are used in a number of foods such as Fruit Loops and popsicles, but also butter, the skins of fruit, and the casings of hot dogs.
Synthetic dyes are especially common in foods marketed to children, including candies, many foods, dressings, treats, and dipping sauces at fast food outlets.
The industrialization of the food system helps account for the increase in food additives such as food dyes, preservatives and sweeteners. The high degree of food processing, which exposes foods to high temperatures, light, air and moisture, leads to an increased loss of natural color. Post-processing, synthetic dyes are often added to offset color loss.
During the last three decades, repeated studies have concluded that modest doses of synthetic dyes added to foods can provoke hyperactivity and other disturbed behavior in children.
Just Banned in the UK…
In April 2008, Britain's Food Standards Agency advised the food industry to voluntarily ban the use of six common synthetic food dyes by 2009. Some companies now sell two versions of their products: one without synthetic food dyes for the UK, and a U.S. version that includes such dyes.
"The good news is that there are safer alternatives to synthetic food dyes and many food companies are already making the switch," said Dr. Wallinga. "We need the food industry and U.S. government agencies to catch up with the latest science and start protecting our children. Until then, parents need to be armed with information when they go shopping."
IATP works locally and globally at the intersection of policy and practice to ensure fair and sustainable food, farm and trade systems.

This may be daft but it has been known for phosphoramidites to be labelled incorrectly by the manufacturer or for the wrong one to be put on a DNA synthesizer hence incorrect oligo. Alternatively could your mutation in some way be lethal and the E.coli is making it less lethal?

"High School Musical" star Zac Efron's mom was so shocked by photos of her son and his girlfriend in a sex shop, she bought him condoms for Christmas.
The 21-year-old assured his mom, Starla, the sex shop shots with Vanessa Hudgens were a lot more innocent than they seemed, but she's taking no chances.
Efron tells Elle magazine, "It was Hallows Eve like, two years ago. It was just a costume store. In the back they have an adult section for adult costumes. And this nice older woman asked for a photo.
"(But) my mom is like, 'Zac, what did you buy in a sex shop?' I was like, 'Mom, calm down, it's not a sex shop.' She wouldn't have any of it. She's like, 'I knew you were being sexual!'"
But the picture that shocked his mom gave her an idea for the perfect grown-up Christmas gift for her famous son.
Efron explains, "My stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box."

This memo to Dean Lampe discusses possible building sites for the reactor. It states a preference for a space south of the Zoology building.
On Saturday,
the above named individuals numbered 1 through 7 was held in
College Nuclear Reactor. Only three sites were considered:
It was the unanimous opinion that the space now occupied by Zoology
constituted the ideal location, but the practical problem involved in removing
Zoology in less than three years, and probably five, was conceded to be impossible
of solution.
Zoology, and so arranged that the facility could be expanded into the Zoology
Building space when that building could be removed.
be crowded into the space behind Zoology for interim operation, and felt further
that a structure of interim design would not be suitable after removal of Zoology,
without extensive and expensive alteration. It was also pointed out that funds
for the reactor might not be donated from sources not in prospect if the building
were crowded into an insignificant initial location.
It was the firm opinion of
representatives that the Court of Ceres location if definitely preferable
to the site west of Polk Hall. The idea hear was, that the Reactor Building
should face south on University Drive, and the reactor facility should be
designed as a part of a three or four story east-west laboratory structure
extending across the Court of Ceres in line with the north ends of Polk and
Daniels. The laboratory structure adjacent to and a part of the reactor
facility would be used for additional reactor laboratories if required for
Physics Department space when Daniels Hall became too crowded.
particularly, and the entire group to a large extent, felt that this
should be avoided if possible.
It was decided finally that:
It was further decided that (1) if the
reactor location for an interim period of operation in the crowded space behind
Zoology, or (2) if a suitable interim design could not be drawn up for a
souther portion of the Court of Ceres. Should this in turn not be acceptable
to the Commission, another meeting would be called by
for consideration of other sites.

Bryce Harper ejected by John Hirschbeck, but he finds his cool later
An umpire ejected Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals for the second time in his career Sunday afternoon after he argued a check-swing call for strike three in the first inning. At first glance, third-base umpire John Hirschbeck seemed to be the aggressor in the confrontation, but the available video of the incident doesn't tell us everything.
And regardless of who instigated what, Harper only vaguely addressed with the media what happened, and he did not take to Twitter later to express any dissatisfaction. This is what he said, via the Washington Post, after the Nats beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2.
"I don't have much to say on it," Harper said. "I'm not going to badmouth anybody or say anything I shouldn't say. I'm glad we got the W today."
Harper's response was 180 degrees from that of David Price of the Rays who — no matter that he seemed within his rights — passive-aggressively ripped an umpire in public after a recent argument, and was fined as a result.
[Also: Josh Hamilton a disaster with Angels, but there's hope]
Instead of all that, Harper took the high road — the highest possible, really. Good for him, being only 20 years old. One of Harper's major league friends, Adam Eaton of the Arizona Diamondbacks, did send encouragement on Twitter:
@bharper3407 that's ridiculous. Watching it on SC. I'm with you brotha. Hope all is well. — Adam Eaton (@AdamSpankyEaton) May 6, 2013
Was it all that ridiculous, though? Here's an account by reporter Adam Kilgore of WaPo, explaining happened immediately after Harper got rung up, along with quotes from Hirschbeck:
Harper raised his hands in protest, with the bat over his head. Hirschbeck, in his 29th season as an MLB umpire, started yelling at Harper and walking toward him. Home plate umpire Bob Davidson chimed in from behind. Harper appeared to yell back at Hirschbeck and threw his bat on the ground. Hirscbeck pointed at Harper, who then threw his helmet. As Johnson sprinted out of the dugout, Hirschbeck ejected the 20-year-old slugger.
"I didn't like that he put his hands up with the bat," Hirschbeck said. "That's kind of what I yelled at him. He continued and threw his bat. I kind of pointed like, 'That's equipment.' And then, he still continued and slammed his helmet down. That's when I ejected him.
"I was actually just being nice. Even the hands up in the air is showing me up, to me. I could have ejected him right then. I was nice enough to leave him in the game. And then he slammed his bat down. And then on top of that, he slammed his helmet. I had no other recourse, really."
Well, that last sentence is where Hirschbeck strays. While the rules expressly say that players aren't allowed to do any of the things that Harper did — argue a called strike three by shouting (or with body language), or to throw equipment — there's nothing prohibiting an umpire from turning around and ignoring a brief tantrum. It happens all of the time, and Nationals manager Davey Johnson reminded Hirschbeck of this.
[Also: Traitor! Yankees' CC Sabathia wears Dodgers hat at NBA game]
Yes, Harper did enough to get tossed out, but it also appeared — from the get-go — that Hirschbeck was looking for a fight. However, if Harper doesn't throw his helmet or bat, he probably stays in the game.
So, even though he showed maturity in dealing with the aftermath, he still has something to learn. In a way, he can thank Hirschbeck — even if they both showed a quick temper in the heat of the moment.

MARIETTA, Ohio (CBS NEWS) — Police in Ohio say a West Virginia man repeatedly stalked women inside a Walmart, using a syringe to spray them with his own semen.
Timothy Blake was charged Dec. 30 with pandering obscenity, sexual imposition and two counts of menace by stalking.
Officials say they first received a report on Nov. 2, from a woman who said she was shopping at Walmart when she noticed a man she described as "'creepy,' who seemed to be lingering around her," according to an arrest affidavit obtained by CBS News.
She said the man walked to within a few inches behind her and she then felt something wet on her lower back and foot. She "began to panic" and rushed to a bathroom where she discovered the substance was "sticky," when she left the bathroom, she allegedly saw the man continuing to watch her. Police said surveillance video from the store showed the man squirting the woman.
On Dec. 28, police received a similar report from a different woman.

K. Will "Please Don't" MV
Kim Hyung Soo (a.k.a K.will), under his label Starship Entertainment, recently released his new album on October 11th. He is known in the industry as a ballad singer as well as an accomplished composer and song writer with many accolades to his name. One of the songs on this album, entitled '이러지마 제발 (Please don't...)' was released on Youtube as the promoted track. The song itself is very appealing, with a sad sound that sort of echoes in the ear.
The video that accompanied it was also interesting to note, namely, the ending. It was not merely eye candy that came with the song, but also a reflection of modern society's slowly changing views on an issue that had remained mostly untouched for a long time.

Prisme workers save their jobs
Posted by Left Luggage on April 24, 2009
Workers who occupied the Prisme Packaging factory in Dundee for 51 days will end their occupation today, after saving their jobs. They anticipate they will sign a deal with a backer to allow them to set up a workers' co-operative. A new company, Discovery Packaging and Design Ltd will be launched on May 1.
A statement from the workers said: "Our occupation began to secure our redundancy payments and other monies that were denied to us by our employer when we were sacked. However, during the occupation we also decided to fight to safeguard our jobs because we believed there was a viable business, even if our predecessors did not.
"This victory would not have been possible if it had not been for the support we have had from the general public, trade unionists, socialists and many others. This support and solidarity has been overwhelming and has helped give us the energy and determination to carry on for more than seven weeks.
"We said at the beginning of this that we were little people who had refused to be little anymore. We are proud of what we have achieved and our dignity is intact. We showed we would not be walked over by an uncaring employer. We want to thank all those who have supported our struggle over the last 51 days, your support has been invaluable. Thanks once again to you all."
The Prisme workers will be leaving the factory together and united at 5pm today.

Make way for yet another teen tycoon.
Sixteen-year-old Selena Gomez, she of Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place, has launched her own production company, July Moon Prods., Variety reports.
First on the company's agenda? Teaming with XYZ (is that short for X-amine Your Zipper?) Films to create at least two starrers for the actress.
There's guaranteed to be lots more after that. The partnership with XYZ has a tie-in with Time Inc., who recently signed with XYZ and management-production company Collective to translate its print content for the silver screen. And who gets first access at those projects? Yup, Gomez herself.
Gomez will also have the opportunity to option articles, hire writers and create talent packages to shop to studios.

Unlike baseball announcers on TV, I can't tell with the naked eye if that last pitch was a splitter, spitter, cutter, four-seamer, two-seamer, backdoor slider, straight change, circle change, scroogie or Eephus, because 40 years of playing, watching and writing about sports has taught me almost nothing about them, including how to pretend to identify pitches in the confident way that announcers do when bluffing their way through on TV.
The philosopher Donald Rumsfeld once said: "There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."
What I know I don't know about sports -- the list of Known Unknowns -- could fill Talladega Superspeedway, which holds something like 175,000 people, a single semi-fact that constitutes half my body of knowledge about racing. Auto racing ought to be as simple as autos racing, but the sport manages to mystify those of us confused by our own cars.
Last fall, when the battery in our minivan died, and a man from AAA popped the hood, my oldest daughter said in a tone of wonderment: "I didn't know this end opened too." The AAA guy squeezed the clamps of his jumper cable and looked at me with a mixture of pity and contempt, as if he might use those clamps to remove the man card from my wallet.
Little did he know how little I know about
Indeed, the entire foregoing paragraph is an unintelligible collection of letters, an eye chart, and shall remain nothing more to me as long as I live. A day bent over a labor-relations glossary would relieve me of this ignorance, and serve me well in the future as a sports fan and writer, but then nobody will ever say on his deathbed, "I wish I'd spent more time learning the difference between the Bird, non-Bird and Early Bird exceptions to the NBA salary structure." (I take that back: I know a couple of people who might say that on their deathbeds, but I try to avoid them at parties.)
Likewise, I am ignorant of all manner of modern baseball statistics, preferring RBIs to DOPDI, or Ducks On a Pond Driven In, or whatever the more meaningful metric is now called.
I don't know how to do all the usual things that people don't know how to do -- apply backspin to a golf ball, topspin to a tennis ball or side spin to a bowling ball, in such a way that makes a hook hit the pocket perfectly. Google "How to roll a strike," by the way, and the autofill assumes you're looking for "How to roll a
I can never remember what a secondary break is in basketball. I can't surf, putt or go to my left. I can't tell a nickel package from a dime package, which handicaps me both when watching NFL games
And while football's defensive schemes have become comically complicated, in direct contravention of the word "scheme" (which suggests a group of campers conspiring to short-sheet their counselors), even basic tactical innovations, in just about every sport, leave me more baffled than enlightened.
True, sports have more arcane rules than the United States Senate, as embodied by the infield fly rule, which isn't -- relatively speaking -- all that difficult to understand. But even those rules aren't as tough to learn as, say, the proper spelling of Jeff Samardzija's surname (I had to look it up just now) or the proper pronunciation of Rajon Rondo's first name (mah-jong is a good mnemonic).
None of this worries me, because what you don't know can't hurt you. Some of the wisest people who ever lived have said as much. On the contrary, ignorance to them was the fountain of all knowledge. Socrates said: "I know nothing, except the fact of my ignorance," and he did OK. Confucius said: "Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance."
I know the extent of my sports ignorance -- I know my unknowns -- and by that narrow definition I'm a stone-cold genius.

Ionica struggles on against insolvency rumours
Company still looking for partner, but price must be an issue
Struggling fixed wireless phone company Ionica is doggedly denying rumours today that it has hit a brick wall, and headed for insolvency. The company, which appointed a new chairman yesterday, has made no secret of the fact that it needs to find a 'strategic partner' if it is to live, but claims the search goes on. Ionica's big problem is that it didn't achieve critical mass before the whole thing started to go pear-shaped. Its unique selling proposition, that Wireless Local Loop (WLL) technology could be deployed cheaply across the UK in order for it to compete directly with BT for subscribers, was undermined by congestion problems in its first markets. Attempts to fix these with extra hardware had to take precedence over rolling out the service further, and Ionica swung instantly from stock market start-up darling to basket case. Its bankers wouldn't advance more money, partner Nortel wouldn't bale it out (and said it would be closing the factory that builds the Proximity gear Ionica uses earlier this week), so Ionica continues the forlorn quest for a cash injection. The new chairman may be a positive sign. Anthony Coleman moves in after a stint as finance director of Yorkshire Electricity, and may face the prospect of strong-arming existing investors to accept half a loaf. Ionica currently claims its cash resources of £45 million will keep it going until January. Paradoxically, the original business plan still looks perfectly viable. If, say, a cellular company, a new entrant like Energis or maybe even WorldCom moved in, all would be lovely in the garden again. The main obstacle, effectively, is that any buyer would under current circumstances drive a very hard bargain. ® Click for more stories

And I heart this quilt. I finished my "Gift from the Sea" quilt! This is a quilt I've been wanting to make for about three years. It's in the Heather Mulder Peterson book Fat Quarter Five, and Heather calls it "Gypsy Girl." I had ordered some Jennifer Paganelli fabric to make a skirt and knew right away I had to make this quilt from her fabrics. The quilt has fabrics from several of her lines, "Dance with Me," "Pretty Please," "Flower Power," and "Sis Boom." Did I mention that I heart this quilt?!
I heart these wonderful gifts that came in the mail today from Bonnie at Calamity Jane's Cottage! Bonnie had a surprise giveaway and sent me a 4th of July package supreme...a darling apron (beautifully sewn), a cute potholder , a handmade coupon book, the most wonderful dish cloth ever, and two Romantic Home magazines! I love everything! Thanks so much Bonnie! And speaking of giveaways...I'm having a couple of them in July, one for my first blogiversary which is July first, and another later in the month to celebrate my birthday!

Great RV Park
We stayed here last week in our 35 ft RV with tow. Wifi worked great(this is hard to find on the road)! We had a nice pull through spot. The Manager went out of his way to call kings Canyon National Park for me to see if they were still open. He also gave me great recommendations on how to get there and some great Hikes.
Nice Quiet Campground
We stayed there for two nights in March. We were the only tent there but there were lots of RV's. Campground is very quiet and close to Sequoia National Park. It is in a nice location and staff is friendly.

Most of the viewers of MCU are the GA, they make most of the % than us. And they don't know who built Ultron on the comics, they just want to see the movie like most of us. Just deal with the fact that it will more likely be Stark building Ultron and it will have a diffrent "origin" from the comics. Just like Mandarin/Killian. MCU doesn't follow the comics as it if were gospel. Saying that, I was surprised at the announcement of Ultron for Avengers 2, I really thought Marvel was going the route of MoE (It was already stated that Thanos was not going to be in Avengers 2, which is good, he is the BADDEST and should be hyped up more). I am really looking forward for this movie!!!

about a half hour ago i was playing gta online i had my sabre turbo stolen by a player in a helicopter with a hook it was placed on the roof of a supermarker, the only way i could ge it back on the road was to blow it up and recover it and i did some missions etc and robbed some stores, and before i rage quit i had my car blown up by a player when i was about to enter a los santos customs, and i've been killed twice by players while i was driving to a store and twice i had to repair my car within 10 minutes of each other and the final straw happened while i was robbing a store an npc panic and blocked the door with his car i was able to get out but was gunnedd down by a player.
do you agree rockstar needs to do something about the massive player killing?
i do some player killing but not that much.
i know there's passive mode i just don't care for using it to much during gameplay.
