FareCompare has reported on a slow-but-steady trend toward kids-only seating – or sections on planes that ban children, if you prefer – but now you can add women-only seats to the mix, as well.
Women-Only Seats on JAL
According to Pacific Business News, beginning Oct. 1, Japan Airlines (JAL) will allocate four seats in the back of its economy section on Japan to Honolulu flights for women "to apply make-up or to breast-feed their babies."
Never mind that women have been successfully engaging in both these activities on planes for years now – with the occasional snafu as when an apparently overzealous American flight attendant allegedly harassed a breastfeeding passenger – JAL apparently thinks it's time for a change.
Sit next the man or woman of your dreams (well, maybe)
Logistical "Nightmare"
As far as we're aware, no U.S. airlines are considering any kind of exclusive seating. As air travel analyst Rick Seaney points out, it could turn into a "logistical nightmare" on reservation websites or at the gate. He also points out that on an airline like Southwest with its open seating policy, most passengers can sit where they want anyway.
No Kids Zones on Planes
But exclusionary cabins are gaining some traction particularly when it comes to kids. As we reported last week, another Asia-based carrier, the discounter Scoot is also adding a 'no kids' section to its flights. Question: Did Scoot do this for passengers or publicity? It sure got people talking about this somewhat obscure airline.
Pets on Planes
What's next – aircraft for pets only? Actually that was tried, but the now-defunct Pet Airways has since gone out of business (it looked like fun while it lasted).
Exclusive seating: Wave of the future – or total insanity? You be the judge.

Cam Gigandet Talks 'City Of Bones' Rumors
It seems Cam Gigandet has not yet seen a script for the upcoming big-screen adaptation of City Of Bones, but he's not terribly surprised by that considering his age. He recently sat down with MTV News to do some press for his current film, The Roommate, and talked a bit further about that project. He was recently spotted having a lunch with a pal in Hollywood, as seen above.
"Hey, I would love to… but I'm like 28," he added, basically saying he's too old for any of the parts in the film. But when the interviewer suggested he go for a more mature character, he quipped, "I don't have to play the 12-year-olds?" he said with a smile. "Ha ha. You know, hey, [and then he crossed his fingers and held them up to camera, showing that maybe there's hope for him and 'City of Bones' yet]."
Check out a clip of him chatting with MTV after the jump…

I'm pretty sure you don't need an official password day to remember that an insane number of passwords get leaked all the time. Still, if there's any day to strengthen your password, today's a good day.
The World Password Day site, from Intel, tells us that 90% of all passwords are vulnerable, and the 500 most common passwords have been found in 79% of the 6 million users' accounts analysed.
What about yours?
The Password Day site offers plenty of reminders and tips, such as using a password manager; different passwords for your bank, email, and other sites; and choosing length over complexity. There's even a password blaster game, which tumbles leaked password down the screen for you to shoot down--and if you see any that look like yours, it's definitely time to go change them.

Retirement looms, but Ravens' linebacker Lewis excels
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ray Lewis sure doesn't look like an aging linebacker on the brink of retirement.
With 30 tackles in his last two games, the Baltimore Ravens defensive leader appears as if he could play at a high level for several more years.
That's not going to happen. In spite of his standout performance this month and the pleasure he's derived from Baltimore's run to the AFC Championship Game, Lewis remains adamant that he will retire after the Ravens complete their postseason journey.
"No, I can't come back," Lewis said Wednesday. "My kids are calling for Daddy. It's a great reward to see the sacrifice my babies have made for me, and it's time that I sacrificed for them."
The 37-year-old Lewis announced Jan. 2 that he would retire after Baltimore's playoff run is completed. Since that time, he's provided his teammates with inspiration in the locker room and magnificent play on the field.
After being sidelined for 12 weeks with a torn right triceps, Lewis led the Ravens with 13 tackles in a 24-9 playoff win over Indianapolis. He had a team-high 17 tackles last week in a 38-35 double-overtime victory over Denver.

Veterans living in California may finally be able to return home with the passing of AB639. This legislation, recently signed by Governor Jerry Brown, will help reallocate funds to target California's homeless Veteran population. As stated by Assembly Member Al Muratsuchi, co-author of the legislation, "Our veterans have risked their lives and fought for our freedom and it is only right that we now fight to protect them. Once approved by the voters [in the June 2014 primary election], [AB639] will get the resources moving to help our veterans and their families."
Almost one fourth of the nation's Veteran homeless population resides in California and although Proposition 12, which was passed in 2008, was meant to remedy this housing situation, there were structural issues that did not allow many Veterans to access the $900 billion in bonds available through the program for the purchase of single family homes, farms, and mobile homes. AB 639, which was introduced by Speaker John A. Perez, makes these funds more accessible by expanding the types of housing supported, including permanent supportive housing, and repurposing $600 million of the bond in support of "affordable multifamily housing and services for veterans and their families."
AB361 Relief for MediCal Enrollees with Chronic Conditions
AB 361 impacts United Way's community partners and their clients by providing care coordination for MediCAL patients suffering from chronic medical conditions. Chronically ill patients make up about 25% of the homeless population and yet utilize about 75% of public resources . The CA State Department of Healthcare Services will administer AB361 to address the needs of chronically ill patients enrolled in MediCAL, who have been accessing medical care through urgent care or emergency facilities, by establishing preventative healthcare measures through a specialized care coordination system called "health homes." The Health Homes program will assemble teams of primary, clinical, and community medical and mental health providers to work collaboratively in providing the most effective care for each chronically ill patient. This program will allow for the health community to catch medical conditions before they worsen prompting visits to emergency care facilities. Overall, AB361 will be implemented to promote better outcomes for both patient and public resources by providing a continuum of care for chronic patients.
For more general information on Health Homes Program and eligibility requirements, please visit: http://www.medicaid.gov/Medicaid-CHIP-Program-Information/By-Topics/Long-Term-Services-and-Support/Integrating-Care/Health-Homes/Health-Homes.html
Thank you to all those who sent out letters and contacted your representatives to push forward these policies. Please continue to follow our blog for more legislative updates, and keep advocating for change!

Aqua Blue And White Floral Wedding Cake
My father-in-law got re-married this past weekend, and asked me to make the wedding cake. The bride's dress was a beautiful aqua blue and she carried white flowers, and let me have free reign on the design. I always love that! There were about 500 tiny white gumpaste blossoms on the cake, each duster ever so lightly in the center with teal luster dust and a tiny bit of yellow. All of Bob's kids and their families had a hand in helping to make the gumpaste blossoms, truly making it a family effort.

Police Blotter for November 6th, 2009
Watered down
When she took a dose of her prescription codeine cough syrup, a woman realized that the bottle had been emptied and refilled with water. Her locked medicine chest had also been opened, and 2/3s of her pills were missing. Going downstairs, the woman tried to wake her daughter (who has a history of substance abuse), who seemed to be passed out, but with wide eyes and small pupils. The daughter later denied any involvement, and there was insufficient cause for arrest.
Sunday afternoon, officers and medics were dispatched to a local motel where a 49-year-old woman was deceased, sitting in a chair. Her boyfriend claimed the victim had been having trouble breathing. He also said that her severe bruises were several weeks old from a previous argument. The boyfriend—a north-end resident—was booked into King County jail for investigation of homicide.
Though his friend had offered to pay for only the first round of drinks, a man became angry when at the end of the evening he was reminded that he was responsible for the rest of the $21 tab. He threw his friend to the floor, stormed outside the North Admiral restaurant, grabbed a metal sign and smashed the victim's windshield.
After one of her friends ran away from home, an 8th-grader tried to be helpful by letting the parents know where they could find the missing girl. Since then, she has received hateful text messages, and her family's doorbell nameplate was defaced.
A North End resident was booked into King County Jail after he showed up at his ex-girlfriend's West Seattle home, displayed a gun in a shoulder holster, and threatened to hurt her. When told the police had been called, the suspect left, but later sent a variety of threatening text messages. Units from the North Precinct found the man at home and found two guns as well. The man denied visiting the victim.
Burglars paid a repeat visit to an Arbor Heights home they had "hit" nearly two weeks ago, this time taking jewelry and other items worth nearly $4,500. There was no sign of forced entry, but the homeowner states that no keys were missing from the previous break-in, and no garage-door openers had been taken.
A known transient who has been trespassed from many locations was arrested Sunday night after he chased a woman for several blocks near Fauntleroy and Alaska street, yelling and demanding her cell phone. A witness from a nearby store stated that the same man had earlier that evening stolen an 18-pack of Bud Light from a display. A computer check showed the suspect was wanted on a $190 criminal trespass warrant, but when he was booked into King County Jail, it was for investigation of strong-arm robbery of the woman.
A local 32-year-old with multiple mental illnesses had been off his meds for a few days when he became upset with his girlfriend. The girlfriend's roommates felt uncomfortable with him staying at the residence and asked him to leave. The man grabbed a knife before doing so. He came back later with a cut on his side, 4 inches long and a half-inch deep. When he realized police had been called, he extinguished his lit cigarette on his neck and ran off. He was found in the 3700 block of SW Cloverdale and taken to Harborview for an involuntary commitment.
A man wanted on a felony escape warrant from the Department of Corrections was arrested after a disturbance at an Admiral-area gas station Friday afternoon.
On Genessee Hill Saturday evening, a man held a knife to his girlfriend's throat, and when she tried to run he pulled her back into the house by her hair and kicked her several times in the head. The victim was able to escape out a window and run to a friend's house. (The previous night he had assaulted her and stolen her cell phone, keys, and wallet.) Medics transported her to Harborview for treatment. In the meantime, officers found the suspect in a backyard north of his residence. During his arrest he screamed incoherently and kicked an officer in the wrist and knee. He was booked into King County Jail for investigation of domestic violence assault, assault against an officer, and violation of a no-contact order. He was also wanted on a $10,000 domestic violence assault warrant from Normandy Park and on a $5,000 DUI warrant from Seattle.
Burglaries/break-ins/car prowls, by block: 1500 44th SW, 10400 42nd SW, 5900 38th SW, 3600 SW 102nd, 400028th SW, 3200 44th SW, 4000 SW Othello, 4400 35th SW, 3000 59th SW, 4800 42nd SW, 3200 47th SW

Viewing Adobe Access content is not supported on Linux. However, with version 11.2 of the Flash Player users can now view content via the Firefox browser.
Please ensure you have the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player plug-in from adobe.com
You will also need to ensure that the Hardware Abstraction Layer module is first installed, to do this:
1. Run command: sudo apt-get install hal (Watch carefully for "hal" install errors, as a damaged package install can continue to affect video playback.)
2. After the "libhal" (HAL) library install completes, close the browser and clear the Adobe Access directories by executing the following shell commands:
a. cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player
b. rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2
If the Hardware Abstraction Layer module is missing, Flash Player still functions. However, it cannot play protected content that requires the Adobe Flash Access DRM (Digital Rights Management) module.
Why do I only see a spinning grey circle where the video should be?
Some security programs, firewalls or routers may block your access. In this situation you may only see the loading screen with a grey spinning circle in the middle of the player. If you have firewall software installed on your machine (e.g. Norton's, McAfee's etc) please ensure that Yahoo7 TV (http://au.tv.yahoo.com) has been added to the list of trusted programs within that software and/or within Parental Controls. You may also want to check that your security program is not blocking flash.
Yahoo7 uses the standard network port of 1935 to stream Flash video, so please ensure that port 1935 is not blocked by your firewall or broadband router. For further information on the usage of port 1935 by Flash Media Server, visit the Adobe website http://www.adobe.com/.
Why do videos get distorted, go green or white or have lines through them?
- Disable video acceleration in Flash by right clicking the video while it is playing and choose settings. Click the display tab and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration". If that fails to resolve the issue make sure you have the latest version of the Adobe Flash player. You can download it at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
I have a fast broadband connection, why am I still having issues?
- High rates of internet traffic can result in slowing down your connection
- Your proximity to telephone junctions/substations (for ADSL connections)
- If you have multiple processes and computers using the same base connection (ie. modem/hub), this may slow your connection speed
- You may get an error if you run Quicktime or iTunes at the same time. It is preferable to close these applications while you are viewing PLUS7.
- Ensure you are running the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/)
- Check that your computer is updated with the latest video card drivers
- Wireless internet connections can get interrupted resulting in playback issues
I am having issues watching video via my wireless internet connection. Why?
If you're watching video via a wireless connection to your modem/router at home, you may experience a buffered (staggering) signal for the first few minutes. This will resolve to a smooth reception unless the signal strength is too weak to receive the video stream. If you're not particularly close to the modem, the transmission can be interrupted by walls, closed doors etc.
The ads are playing louder than the TV show content - what's going on?
Ads can appear louder than the TV show content. This is dependent on how the original content has been encoded (digitised) for the internet. We do our best to normalise these during playback, however, you may notice the ad audio levels are higher. This can also occur when watching shows on television.
Why is the video sound not working but I can hear the ads?
You may have set the video player audio to zero. To adjust this use the blue audio bars on the right of the video player to increase the volume.
If that doesn't fix your problem ensure you are running the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (http://www.adobe.com/).
Why does the streaming quality change while I'm watching a video?
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve viewer experience, Adaptive Streaming has been introduced. What this means is that the quality of the video is adjusted regularly based on your detected Internet connection, as a result of Adaptive Streaming users will notice very little buffering, fasters video starts and a better experience for both high-end and low-end connections.
How often is content updated?
Programmes will appear online immediately after they have aired across Australia on Seven or 7TWO or 7mate Please note this will usually be after the show has aired in Perth.

My video is skipping back to the start of the episode, what should I do?
The hardware accelerator on the Flash player 10 and above is causing the the video player on Plus 7 to act strangely. While not all user are affected by this issue, the ones who are should turn off the hardware accelerator on the player, in most case this will fix the issue that they are having.

Bright Eyes – The People's Key Review
1.) "Firewall"
2.) "Shell Games"
3.) "Jejune Stars"
4.) "Approximate Sunlight"
5.) "Haile Selassie"
6.) "A Machine Spiritual (In the People's Key)"
7.) "Triple Spiral"
8.) "Beginner's Mind"
9.) "Ladder Song"
10.) "One For You, One For Me"
When reviewing music that has high expectations set on it (like this album), most critics compare the new stuff to the artist's "classics", resulting in either undue praise or the work being written off as a disappointment. The People's Key is almost an electronic album, published under a name whose best work–I'm Wide Awake It's Morning–consists of acoustic work. Comparing the two would be rather difficult and possibly reductive of the quality of both albums, so I'll first write about this album as though it were the work of a new band and work my way back to Conor Oberst, the main force behind Bright Eyes. Trying to process this album in a vacuum is practically impossible, but trust me, I would have dismissed this album as one of the worst releases of the year if I didn't try.
The first thing that strikes me about The People's Key is how unfocused it is. The album aims for a spiritual view, telegraphed by some of the song titles, but the at-times erratic writing doesn't match the composition of the songs, and the spirituality is all over the place, using Rastafarianism and Christianity as crutches rather than points to jump off from. "Jejune Stars" chugs along happily, like Bruce Springsteen's "Dancer In The Dark", with a chorus that reads as "So I go, umbrella under my arm, into the green of the radar/How did it get so dark in the day?/It's just so bizarre, is it true what we're made of?/Why do I hide from the rain?" Fine, they're going for dynamic dichotomies, but it is far too simple of an approach to writing songs, especially considering how overwritten (see next paragraph) most of the songs on here are.
The second thing that strikes me about this album is how much potential there is with this sound. If this were a band's debut, I would be eagerly awaiting their second album, under the hopeful assumption that the band would be able to identify the faults with their sound and have the know-how and gumption to correct them. (I made that mistake with Vampire Weekend, but whatever.) The People's Key comes closest to resembling Destroyer's Kaputt, Braids's Native Speaker, and Beach House's Teen Dream in sound—funky synths, every song gaining momentum by itself—but the albums on those songs were structured to compliment the lyrics. The grander the sound, the fewer words you need to write. Scale back on the word count, bring the vocals to the forefront, get rid of that one guy who interrupts the album from time to time spouting incoherent gibberish about reptiles and Hitler (no, I'm not making that up), and we'd be dealing with something great. Right?
And now I'm forced to talk about Conor Oberst (dammit). Oberst has never been a great vocalist, and his writing was half of the reason that anyone cared about Bright Eyes in the first place. I can't blame the guy for trying to expand his sound (if only to try to get his critics to describe him in a way besides "Bob Dylan for the new generation"), but he is barely on this thing—his words are far from the focus of the album, and are often placed well into the background, as if he expects his audience to listen to a Bright Eyes album for the guitar work. If this kind of music wasn't already done to (practically) perfection by other bands, I might be kinder to it. As it stands, The People's Key is a massive disappointment.
That said, this is probably the best massive disappointment I've heard in some time—certainly better than the disastrous Digital Ash In A Digital Urn and the static Cassadaga, as well as every Oberst side project since 2005. Oberst may have been shunted aside by all of his musician friends in the mix, but they have a lot of fun on the album, more concerned with creating the next pretty synth line than coherence (exhausting in the long haul but a thrill in short spurts). It can be comfortably thrown on in the background of any low-key get-together between twentysomething don't-call-us-hipsters without offense or protest. Also, while the album is overwritten, there is some great writing here—you'll just need the lyric sheet out and a repressed gag reflex concerning bullshit spirituality in order to find it. The writing is at the forefront of "Ladder Song", Oberst's best song in years and, not coincidentally, the simplest song on the album.
The 411: Ultimately, this is a coffee shop album, lacking the revelations that Oberst's best work held but still being fun by itself. If you try to take it seriously, you will hate it. It works great as background music, though.

CHESTER – In light of three recent requests for students from out of town to attend Chester Academy, superintendent Jim Gaylord presented the Chester school board with the district's policy on the acceptance into the school of non-resident students to gauge their interest in allowing such students.
The district currently does not allow out-of-town students to tuition into the school, and while Gaylord said he did not expect that policy to change, he did want to raise the issue as a courtesy to the board.
According to Gaylord, families from out of town now and again look to get their kids into Chester Academy because of its good reputation. It's an attractive place because of student performance and town financial support, among other factors. With surrounding towns with less than stellar schools, some families look to send their kids out of town, he said.
While some school board members said that on first perusal it sounded like a good deal to tuition students, as the district can set its own rates, on further discussion it was agreed that it was a practice the board wanted no part of.
Gaylord said he had seen one district he had worked in previously accept such students and then relatively quickly end the practice.
School board member Mike Romick questioned why the district wouldn't consider it, considering the potential revenue.
Gaylord, along with principal Leslie Leahy and financial manager Annmarie Scribner, said that while the district in theory can set its tuition rate, there are other factors to consider, including state rules and regulations as well as how state adequacy aid would be factored in. Special services director Jana Ruiz questioned how the cost of busing or special education services would be factored in, as well as potential problems when tuitioned students got to high school, and Pinkerton Academy in Derry, where Chester sends its high school students, did not accept those students.
School board chair Royal Richardson said he suspected the district could quickly get into trouble by choosing which students could attend and which couldn't. If the school is opened up to one student, it would be opened to all students, and Richardson said the district would need a set of policies to govern student acceptance.
Gaylord said he wanted the board to be aware that he had fielded interest in the matter recently but had denied those requests based on current policy. Gaylord, noting changes in schooling practice, from charter schools to school choice, suspected the issue would become more prominent in the future.
The board talked further of amending the policy, not for allowing out-of-district students to move in, but to clarify how the school handles students whose families move out of town prior to the end of the school year. The accepted policy for families moving out of town near the end of a year is to allow students to finish out their year, but some board members suggested shoring up the specifics.

This horror episode opens with a chaotic scene in sickbay that leaves no doubt who's in charge: Dr. Crusher. There's no doubt who's in charge of the rest of the episode, either: the director, Gates McFadden. The meat of this episode, which serves as her directorial debut, features Picard and Data, and like the opening teaser, the plot (which is pretty shoddy science) is carried out with over the top acting.
Like sixth season's "Timescape", the episode takes us away from the ship for a brief time (via a shuttlecraft) so we can return to it and approach the drama from a different angle to heighten the suspense and intrigue. This sets the table for frightening encounters that McFadden plays up for all their worth - and which features visually stunning transformations which are a must see.
It's just too bad that the writers didn't combine this and the previous episode, "Eye of the Beholder", into a hybrid dream episode where the broad acting and the implausible premise here would make more sense.

Decided it was time to bring my favorite character into the MOTUC fold.
Real Name: Tchalla Tchak
Bio: When a battle in his village destroyed his home and left him orphaned Tchalla took refuge in the vine jungle learning how to survive by living off the land. He adapted to jungle life by mimicking the behavior of the creatures that lived there and not only survived but thrived, designing a costume that allowed him to blend into the shadows and move stealthily through the dense forest. One day Tchalla unearthed an ancient ruin where he discovered a powerful artificat – the Panther Stone of Wa-kan-da. Feeling the stone's power he fashioned himself an amulet and when wearing it was granted special powers enhancing his strength, speed and senses. Using the gifts of the amulet he took on the role of protector, helping the helpless and preyed upon. He frequently found himself combating the forces of King Choloh and Gygor and eventually fought alongside Wun-Dar. Finding in Wun-Dar a kindred spirit, Wakandar quickly became a valued ally in defending Eternia from the evils that threatened to consume it.

This is great! What did you use to sculpt over the face?
well done: really effective.
great bio too.
Nice, it definitely works!
Looks great! I've often wondered (and considered making) various marvel heroes would look like on MOTUC bodies.
Right or wrong, buying a sub tells Mattel you want more MOTUC figures. Not buying does tells them you don't. Don't let MOTUC end early because you might not like their marketing strategy! Plus polls show you won't regret subbing!
One of the true fan minority - happy MOTU fans!

I made one of these guys too, eventually want to make a motuc moonknight as well, they are both in my top 10 superhero's
Amazing work. I love this custom, it's very well thought-out. Also, nice touch with the spear.
Wow great job he looks good
Wow! I love it, very we'll done!

Ford offers auto writers a look at redesigned Mustang next week
By Paul Lienert
DETROIT (Reuters) - The long wait will be over soon for hard-core Mustang fans: Ford Motor Co plans to unveil the next-generation 2015 Mustang later this year, several months ahead of the car's 50th anniversary, and has invited auto writers for a sneak peek next week.
The Mustang is getting its first complete overhaul since 2005, including a more modern design, a more nimble chassis and more efficient engines and transmissions intended to broaden the car's appeal outside its core American audience, according to sources familiar with Ford's plans.
The automaker has invited small numbers of automotive writers, including European media, to its Dearborn headquarters for a sneak preview of the new Mustang, beginning next week, several sources said.
The writers have agreed not to reveal details of the car until Ford gives the nod -- but embargoes on new car models are routinely broken, so the first photos of the 2015 Mustang could leak ahead of the car's formal debut in December.
The 2015 model is slated to go on sale next summer.
The original Mustang was introduced at the New York World's Fair on April 17, 1964, to tremendous national fanfare. It was featured on the covers of both Time and Newsweek magazine, helping to cement the reputation of Ford's then-sales boss, Lee Iacocca, and was purchased by more than half a million customers in 1965, its first full year on the market.
When it was last redesigned eight years ago, the Mustang took a step backward in time, with a retro design that has attracted fewer and fewer buyers. Sales last year totaled just 82,995 and were down another 11.5 percent through September.
The automaker is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a ground-up redesign of the car. The 2015 model will be the first Mustang aimed at global markets, notably Europe, Japan and Australia. Continued...

also, the hoverovers/pop ups/toast for the download links draw way too quickly. i often times find myself having to scroll away from the, for example, mp4 link because the hoverover for mp3 file size covers it up. worse still is the hoverover for the "download ?" which covers the entire list. suggestion: have it pop up to to the left where it will only impact the video screen cap, something that the eye isnt payin attention to anymore anyway as its hit target/focus.
Thanks for this. I'm 95% designer and 5% dev I would love a walkthrough of Blend from start to finish on creating an app for WP8.

Eva Mendes Set to Star in Ryan Gosling's "How to Catch A Monster"
Concentrating on making her flight on time, Eva Mendes arrived at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Wednesday (February 6).
The "Training Day" star looked downward in a black sweater, suede pants, and a black wide-rimmed hat as she headed through the busy terminal.
Recently, the 38-year-old girlfriend of hunky Ryan Gosling got a boost from her beau when he decided to cast her in his directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster."
Also written by the "Notebook" star, the movie is described as being set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city. Billy, a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town.

Chelsea have been increasingly linked with a move for Benatia so the news that Roma are looking for £50m for the defender will not be welcomed at Stamford Bridge.
It seems the Italian club have taken the Luiz transfer as a precedent. This is not what Chelsea had hoped for. The club have been big supporters of Financial FairPlay and are eager to conform with its rules. Spending £50m on a replacement for Luiz was not in the budget and may force the club to look elsewhere. How much of this figure is just bargaining on the part of Roma remains to be seen.

One day he got half-a-dozen tin-horn gamblers together, and between them they put up a cold deck in a faro-box.
O, duplicate's something that you ring in on a feller like a cold deck.

They were cross-lifting him—and playing with a cold deck at that.
Another said, 'He beat me out of my wages playing draw poker with a cold deck, and the aces up his sleeve.
I was too angry to return to the cabin, and paced up and down the cold deck biting my lips with vexation.
I had all I c'ud do not to make it plumb center, li'l' gel, but the jury'd ring in a cold deck on me if I had.
I never have gambled from that day to this—never once—without a "cold deck" in my pocket.
So I ran in a cold deck on them—the first time I ever did such a thing in my life.
To "ring in a cold deck" is to order in and substitute a fresh pack, in which the cards are prearranged.
noun phrase
A dishonest deck of playing cards, usually stacked or marked (1856+)
verb phrase
To take advantage of someone; dishonestly assure one's own winning; rig, stack the deck (1884+)

The online music magazine Pitchfork once wrote that David Byrne would collaborate with anyone for a bag of Doritos. It was not meant as a flattering remark, neither toward Byrne nor the aggressively seasoned Frito-Lay product.
In his new book, How Music Works, the cultural omnivore and former Talking Heads front man defends his partnership choices (but not the snack). "I'm fairly picky," he writes, "but I am also willing to work with people who you might not expect me to. I'll risk disaster because the creative rewards of a successful collaboration are great."
Speaking of which, Byrne arrived Thursday evening at the intimate Queen Elizabeth Theatre. With him was Annie Clark, the talented young singer-musician who does her business as St. Vincent.
The pair, an intriguing match-up to say the least (particularly to the music-nerd set), showed off their peculiar cross-generational partnership, one that has generated a delightfully offbeat new album (Love This Giant) and one that currently has the duo (with brass band in tow) making its way across North America. The tour hit Montreal last night, with a date in Vancouver (Oct. 20) still to come.
The curious affair began with Who, the punchy, oddly angled, sax-happy single from Love This Giant. "Who'll be my valentine, who'll lift this heavy load?" asked Byrne, his dinner jacket matching his enviable shock of white hair. To which Clark countered, her voice high and sweet, "Who is an honest man?"
Answering their own questions, the pair swapped vocals on the new material and each dipped into their own catalogues. Byrne, 60, often deferred, even to the point of lying on the floor with most of the band for Clark's standout Cheerleader.
Byrne's previous collaborations make for an impressive, if eclectic, résumé. Most recently, in 2010, he produced with DJ Fatboy Slim the concept album Here Lies Love, about the shoe-loving Imelda Marcos, that over-the-top wife of the fallen Philippine dictator. (A staged disco-musical is currently in the works.).
"Most of the time I collaborate, the dividing line is very cut," Byrne told me recently, from New York. "If I'm writing words over someone else's music, for example, I won't interfere with that music. It's in the interest of keeping everybody happy."
With Clark, for Dinner With Giants, the lines were blurred – "a hybrid," according to Byrne. "It is harder that way, but I think we ended up with something that didn't sound like anything either one of us had done before."
At the Queen Elizabeth, the brassed-up arrangements were an inescapable force. Marionette mannerisms belonging to Clark and Byrne were precise, self-conscious and awkward. Clark's high-heeled steps were quick and mincing, as if her ankles were shackled. She struck wildly stiff notes on her electric guitars, manipulating effect-pedals to geeky success. She sang marvellously, and was quite a sight.
The eight-piece horn ensemble was something of a marching band, lining up and splitting up, left and right, forward and backward, facing this way and that way, and circling around, often with Byrne himself crisply in motion – an order to what could have been funky chaos.
The first encore ended with an old Talking Heads hit that left the house nicely singed, but not quite burned down. The second encore ended with the Heads' Road to Nowhere, which headed to a New Orleans street party, by the sounds of it. The disappearing toots of a tuba were the last things we heard.
This oddball collaboration, then? All that and a bag of chips, one might say.Report Typo/Error

In early March, the U.S. DOT announced a $590 million rail grant to upgrade BNSF Railway tracks between Seattle and Portland, Ore. With this project, the agency has obligated $44.7 billion of the $48.1 billion in stimulus funds provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
Most of the remaining money will be obligated under the administration's intercity passenger rail program. The agency has until September 2012 to allocate the remaining $3.4 billion.
To date, the DOT has reimbursed states $26.5 billion for stimulus-backed projects that have been completed.

The Long Lost - Woebegone
'Woebegone' sounds like lift music coupled with lyrics that sound mournful yet romantic.Read more on The Long Lost Listen to The Long Lost on Spotify
The Long Lost are two high school sweethearts from California (Laura and Alfred Darlington) that have since married. The pair met whilst in their school orchestra and their new single shows telltale signs of it. Both tracks feature horns and other types of orchestration that make these love songs different to the clichéd sounds of the Top 40. 'Woebegone' sounds like lift music coupled with lyrics that sound mournful yet romantic. From the simple acoustic guitar opening to the gentle xylophonic sounds it is clear that this music is aimed at anyone who is with someone who is causing them pain. Laura sings about doing many different things differently in their relationship if the object of her desire would only "pep up and not be so glum". The song ends with a clocklike sounding guitar part which almost signifies that time is running out to save their troubled romance.
'The Art Of Kissing' is a far more upbeat track that is again driven by an acoustic guitar and Latin drums. Laura's wistful vocals are backed up by Alfred's monk-like chanting and add a different texture to the music. Although the tempo is quicker than 'Woebegone' the delivery of the vocals and the pacing of the guitar still gives the song a downbeat feel, again like their love affair is fading. For those who like their romantic songs to be tinged with melancholy and without the typically banal lyrics that you find in most chart material.

Thought I would share my experience in getting BT4 Pre-final working on a Asus EEE PC 1005HA (this is the new Seashell model). Out of the box Audio, Video, USB all function correctly, however Wireless/Ethernet are a no go. I haven't tested Bluetooth; but I'll add to this post if I come across any issues. For now I'll cover Wireless/Ethernet and a GRUB mod, then add to this post as necessary as I come across something.
To start, I've performed a full install of BT4 according the multitude of guides around.
The 1005HA uses the following Atheros Chipsets:
AR9285 for Wireless
AR8132 for Ethernet
Step 1: AR8132 Ethernet Chipset Driver
Download the following Driver from Atheros ([459]AR813X-linux-v220.127.116.11.tar.gz) on another box and transfer to the EEE:
hxxp://partner.atheros.com/Download.aspx?id=93]Atheros Communications
Untar, make, make install, then:
insmod arl1e
ifconfig eth0 up
/etc/init.d/networking start
Yay Ethernet works, now you can grab the Wireless driver.
Step 2: AR9285 Wireless Chipset
Download the Linux Wireless driver:
And follow the instructions for make, install, make unload as directed on:
Then reboot. Wireless should be up and happy... although I haven't tested injection yet (I will tonight and report back).
SUPER EXTRA BONUS: GRUB Boot Options
Since the EEE PC has a lower resolution than the default BT4 kernel parameters you have to make one change in order avoid the annoying "Hit enter to select VGA or press Space to continue" (or something along those lines) message when booting.
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll down and modify the default kernel boot option (scroll right) from:
Save and then reboot.
Enjoy your new EEE!

Announcing the Phanfare API
We are proud and happy to announce the birth of a bouncing baby API (Application Programming Interface) for third-party developers to extend Phanfare.
If you are geeky enough to try, you can extend Phanfare to do useful things that we have not thought of or simply have not gotten to yet. We have created some example Phanfare widgets, including a badge that can pull your newest images into a third party website, like a blog, and a little widget that shows your most recently created album on your blog.
We are also working on a Windows screensaver that pulls images from a Phanfare account and there is someone in the community working on an Aperture plugin for pushing images from Apple's Aperture program to a Phanfare account.
Before you can get started using the API, you will need to request an API key.
We are excited to see what the community comes up with. We have even created a wishlist of widgets that we hope somebody builds.

According to the website http://www.cigarhistory.info/Themes/Railroads.html ( NOTE : this is a permissible link to a strictly reference/informational website that shows a photo of an exact identical box, with information about it ) this is the OLDEST KNOWN version of this brand of cigars in the United States which were made by D. Emil Klein Fact. 63, 2nd NYC, for the famous S. S. Pierce of Boston, Massachusetts, a specialty retail operation.Special thanks to the kind eBayer who shared the cigar history information with us !!

This box has a paper or tape hinge, not metal, which is intact all the way across and works well. T was paper tape affixed to all of the edges, and much of this has worn away and is missing. T apparently was a small nail driven into the front center of the box to hold it closed. The nail is gone and on the inside of the front panel a flake is chipped away ... read more

Re "Alpine District closes popular space center for now" (Tribune, Oct. 25):
I spent my fifth and sixth grade years in The Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center. It was one of the most influential periods in my life. My time there shaped the way I look at the world, and developed the skills that I use every day.
It wasn't just the fun of the place, it was the sense of belonging. Regardless how weird, nerdy or strange I was, there was a place where I was accepted. I don't think that I could have made it through secondary school without the skills I learned there. Skills vital to future life like thinking on your feet and teamwork but which are not always emphasized in a traditional classroom.
Without the experiences I had there, I would be a completely different person. I can't adequately express the gratitude I feel for Victor Williamson and all the staff for the profound impact they made on my life. It would be a travesty to take the experience away from others.
I implore the Alpine School District and the community to get behind this program.

KCDuckMaster wrote:Im pretty sure your exhaust is not the problem. This sounds like spark timing. If you have a distributor with a solid state ignition then I would be checking to see if it has skipped a tooth on the gear. If you have DIS ignition then I would be checking the crank and cam positioning sensors. If you have access to a Fluke 98 or a Modis then I would use that to graph the signal from the sensors and you should see a digital signal(fully on or fully off nothing in between). If it looks a little funky then it may be the reluctor ring might have a gap plugged or it might be broken or the sensor could have some crap collecting on the end of it which will cause it to give an inaccurate reading. Since those sensors are magnetic, they can pick up alot of crap.
Thats my guess!
KCDuckMaster wrote:A vacuum leak wouldn't cause a misfiring and back firing. It would only cause a high idle, poor fuel mileage, and your check engine light would come on for lean 02 sensors.
About your a/c there will never be a check valve in an A/C system because there is no need for one. Maybe sea duck is talking about the orifice tube or expansion valve (only one of the other, not both and most likely the orifice tube). When the problem occurs do you have it set to blow out the vents or the floor? Because the diverter door is probably operated off engine vacuum and the default position is to blow out the defrost so when vacuum is lost the door automatically closes and the air is blown out the defrost so maybe check your defrost vents the next time it happens.This happens when you get into the gas engine vacuum falls and when your cruising with the trailer your engine load is higher and when ever engine load increases manifold vacuum decreases. So my guess on that would be you have a diverter door vacuum solenoid that is leaking. If I were you and if that is the problem I would live with it because I can guarantee you that will not be fun, if you must have it fixed I would highly, highly recommend that you take it to a shop.

Amazing. The first night that you decide to sit down to write at your desk since the baby was born, and what do you find?
The brand new HP laptop you purchased a few weeks ago is busy installing 1 out of 10 updates!! God knows how long will it take for it to finish. And I wonder, who the hell told Windows that I wanted to waste my time updating right now!!It is ok, I say to myself. Relax, accept the issues as they come. Go take your iPad and write on it. Like in the old times, when you wrote Digital Renaissance on the tablet. The iPad is always ready and won't disappoint you. Or so I thought, because the only grayed "waiting" icon on the iPad screen this time is Evernote! Evernote is also updating now, just at the time I wanted to use it! For God's sake. Who on Earth decided that 22.30 is the time to update software when you don't ask for it?
Forget the iPad! You have the MacBook Air you use for work. It was not what I wanted, because I can't unplug the HP while updating and I can not shut the lid down or it won't update. So I try to put both laptops on the desktop. Not the cleanest desktop, and not the most inspiring minimalist environment. And just when I was about to get inspired after the techie things were resolved…. the baby cried. What a wonderful writing session. I am going now to put him to sleep. I hope I'll be back in a while….
I am back. It took me a while to sleep the baby. I just checked the Windows update: still 8 out 10. I check the iPad, it sure has finished… but what? Now it is not only Evernote that is waiting, the Chrome icon is also waiting to make sure I can not access Evernote from the web either. Thanks good the Mac Book Air is not part of the conspiracy against me writing tonight, so here I go.
You can only wonder how the computing industry has reached so far as to understand speech, recognize faces, propose automatic improvements to photos and videos, and yet computer still don't get something as simple as not disrupting you with an update just at the precise time you want to WORK!!
Can't Windows updates, or Apps updates or Antivirus updates or whatever updates stop interrupting you when you want to work? Is is that difficult to achieve? We already know that Microsoft is a true specialist in that area, in forcing you to update and restart your computer whenever they feel like that, without any respect for want YOU want to do with the computer at that time, whether it is important, critical or simply entertaining to you.
A few minutes have passed, and my iPad crashed. Dead. Now I realize the reason why Evernote and Chrome apps were stuck in Waiting was because I ran out of memory space. It seems 32GB is not enough for my apps, regardless I do not take any pictures of videos with the iPad not to consume the precious Apple tiny storage.
Apple sins with "disrupting updates" are clearly not the same kind as of Microsoft. Apple issues have more to do with being stingy. Very stingy. When smartphones continue increasing their power to run heavy software, when their cameras get more an more megapixels, 4K video, slow-motion video and so on, how can Apple still think that a 700 Euro iPhone 6 can live with a miserable 16 GB? These guys are STINGY, GREEDY.
Apple is sitting on a ton of piles of billions of dollars in cash, and is reportedly strategizing on what to do with it. Let me do one suggestion: Apple please return to please your customers, instead of starting to piss them off!
It is ok that you charge more than double the price of what the equivalent device for competitors charges, but at least do not be MISERABLE with memory. I am pissed at Apple heavy updates eating my memory, forcing me to delete apps every day and forcing me to ignore the camera in the iPad.
If the next iPad does not come with more of the cheap memory you can buy for a few bucks, I swear this iPad that I was just forced to restart to complete those disrupting updates will be my last. As of today I would rather buy an Android device with TONS of cheap storage so that I can actually do things other than get "disrupted" by updates.

Hey, it's time to argue about All-Star snubs! Because in the history of baseball, only 2,079 "deserving" players have been left off All-Star teams! How in the world did Johnny Cueto not get picked? Why is Pablo Sandoval starting over David Wright? ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!
(Oops - my editors just reminded me that we have a lot invested in the MLB All-Star Game. Ignore the paragraph above, argue as much as you want, and watch the festivities LIVE NEXT TUESDAY NIGHT ON FOX!)
Jake Arrieta got knocked around on Friday, Luke Hochevar wasn't very good on Saturday, and Francisco Liriano reverted to bad form on Sunday. Thanks to that horrible weekend, our streaming starter record is down to 50-38 on the season. Tonight's pick is Trevor Cahill (owned in 35.8 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Padres, while Tuesday's selection is Jon Niese (33.8 percent owned) against the Phillies.

Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable.
I had been suffering from Acid Reflux for a few years and was having to take medication every day to control it. I decided that I didn't want to continue to be dependent on medication for the rest of my life so I decided to try Peppermint as a way to ease the symptoms. I added on drop of oil to a cup of hot water and found that after a few days of doing this, I didn't need to take my medication every day. I continued for about two weeks and have been off my medication now for over 7 months. I feel great and if the symptoms begin again, I have a cup of Peppermint "tea".
