In the Stuttgart Region nature and technology, tradition and innovation go hand in hand. Its span ranges from a vibrant commercial metropolis to a wealth of outstanding cultural options. And all this is located in an idyllic, topographically delightful countryside. Picturesque castles, luxuriant gardens, Moorish architecture and the world's first television tower: these are just a few of the treasures which the state capital of Baden-Württemberg has to offer.
Stuttgart is closely linked to the automobile. The Stuttgart Region is home to the famous automobile producers Porsche and Daimler. This is where the automobile was invented. Tribute is paid to this groundbreaking development in the two spectacular automobile museums of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, which have long since become international crowd pullers, bringing to life more than 125 years of automotive history in a vivid and tangible way.
The other end of the scale, historically speaking, is represented by the former royal palace of Ludwigsburg, the "Swabian Versailles". This is Germany's largest surviving Baroque palace complex. 452 rooms in 18 buildings convey a fascinating impression of the former splendours of life at the royal court, which already attracted Casanova to the Stuttgart Region. The palace stands in a large park of some 30 hectares with its "Baroque in Bloom" flower displays, illustrating magnificent garden design from several centuries.
Stuttgart boasts a wealth of art and culture: the Stuttgart State Gallery, the Stuttgart Museum of Art and the Württemberg State Museum, the Kunsthalle Tübingen, the Galerie Stihl in Waiblingen and the National Schiller Museum in Marbach are only a few of the countless top-calibre museums in the region. In addition, an outstanding music scene with first-class festivals, and the famous Stuttgart State Theatres, the largest triple-branch establishment of its kind in Europe, have all contributed to Stuttgart's international reputation as a cultural metropolis.
Furthermore, Stuttgart has a long tradition of viniculture and is one of Germany's largest wine-growing communities. Its vineyards stretch right into the centre of the city. There's no shortage of culinary delights, either: with no fewer than six Michelin-starred restaurants, Baden-Württemberg's state capital ranks among Germany's best.
Stuttgart's popular traditional festivals provide ideal opportunities for enjoyment and making merry. At the end of August, lovers and connoisseurs of fine wines gather at the Stuttgart Wine Village. The exuberant Cannstatt Beer Festival is celebrated at the end of September. And before the year draws to a close the enchanting atmosphere of Advent spreads throughout the region with the festive Christmas markets in Stuttgart, Esslingen and Ludwigsburg.
This link between old and new, past and present is also to be found outside Stuttgart. It is characteristic of South Germany and generates the special flair and extraordinary charm of many of Baden-Württemberg's towns. Southwest Germany is an area offering a wealth of culture, enjoyment and relaxation, not to mention the diversity of its countryside. Delightful locations on the banks of the Rhine, the Neckar or the Danube, castles and parks, art galleries and automobile museums, the vintners' traditional "broom taverns", starred gourmet restaurants and – last but not least – the exquisite wines make a visit to the towns situated between Lake Constance, the Swabian Alb and the Black Forest a treat for all the senses.

The Mercedes-Benz Museum is the only museum in the world that can document the unbroken 125-year history of the automobile from its very beginning. Over an area covering 16,500 square metres on nine levels, the exhibition presents 160 vehicles and over 1,500 exhibits. The Museum sees itself as a place of innovation and shows that history is also constantly looking forward.
During a two-hour tour of the exhibition, visitors experience a unique journey through automotive history. Transported by lift to the uppermost level of the museum, the visitor arrives back in the year 1886, where two museum tours gradually spiral their way down through the extensive collection and back to the museum entrance.
The exhibition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum is divided into Legend rooms and Collection rooms. The Legend rooms narrate the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand, subdividing it into themes and eras. The rooms are arranged chronologically around a fully staged exhibition. The Collection rooms thematically document the breadth and diversity of the brand portfolio.
And what follows over 125 years of automotive history? The present and the future. The Museum Shop on the lowest level offers a comprehensive range of items for old and young and the world's largest selection of Mercedes-Benz products. Fascination to take away – perhaps in the form of a model for the living room.
Top-quality enjoyment is available from the experience of driving a Mercedes-Benz: The café-bar on level 1 tempts visitors with a range of delicious confectionary, sandwiches and coffee specialities. The restaurant invites guests to a culinary pit stop – a place where they can relax in style and fortify themselves with top-class cuisine before heading off to their next objective.
The Mercedes-Benz Museum looks forward to your visit!

Thread: Seaventure
Just thought I'd post a few tips about the new 'Seaventure' at Discovery Cove.
First off, it was AMAZING. The dolphin swim was absolutely amazing too but the two are totally different experiences and I wouldn't want to go to DC without doing Seaventure.
The 'nominal' fee for the Seaventure is $59 each, which is pretty expensive if you had a family of 4. (Price is accurate as of the 15th of July 2011)
You can't take part if you are extremely claustrophobic (I am quite claustrophobic and I was fine, as a guide Mission: Space is about my limit for small spaces), if you have back, neck, heart or breathing problems.
You are given a time that is based around your dolphin swim so that you can do both. It takes place over at the grand reef and you are expected to arrive over at the grass hut in the middle for check-in about 5 minutes prior to the start of your Seaventure experience.
Once you have been checked in, you are taken to a safety briefing where they give you instructions on how to use the equipment as well as the various hand signals that will be used underwater. You sign a release form/waiver and then you start the experience.
The helmets that they give you are 70lbs which is quite heavy outside of the water, but underwater they only feel as though they are 15lbs and smaller children can request to have a float attached to their which makes them a lot lighter
You cannot take your own digital underwater cameras in there because of the depth. You are supplied with digital cameras and you get the photos loaded onto a CD for $30 (Accurate 7/15/2011) at the end of the experience. We had a party of two so we split the cost and just made copies of the CD as you are given full copyrights to the pictures. A professional also takes pictures of the group as you go along and these are included on the CD.
The experience lasts around 25 minutes to half an hour and whilst under there you see the different stingray (the biggest being 6ft), the sharks in the shark tank, lots of tropical fish as well as getting the chance to hold a sea urchin and a starfish
Our group (about 8 people) was accompanied by three scuba divers who were able to write messages telling us about the different species of fish available to see in the Grand Reef
I think the Seaventure would be ideal if you had a family that were split in opinion on the dolphin swim, for example if Mum & Daughter wanted to swim with dolphins and Dad & Son did the Seaventure instead.
Re: Seaventure
Just been looking at all your pics on Facebook and it looks fab.
Can't wait for the kids to wake up so I can show them
Re: Seaventure
I'm not 100% sure because it seems that the seaventure pictures are different from all the other pictures. If you get the most expensive package make sure you make the most of having your pictures taken everywhere as the photographers go in to upload at about 2:30/3:00
Re: Seaventure
It looks brilliant Josh I wouldn't be able to do it though claustrophobia, back and neck problems
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Re: Seaventure
I think it would be more than suitable for an 11 year old The enclosed space issue is weird because above ground I wouldn't be able to wear that helmet, but underwater it doesn't feel so enclosed Like I said, I'm claustrophobic to some degree and I didn't find it too bad at all.

Netbooks Buying Guide
When you're looking for a laptop you've got a plethora of choices out there when it comes to manufacturers, sizes, specifications and features, so it can be a very daunting task just trying to find the right one for you and that fits your needs. Within the last year a new type of laptop has emerged and became very popular, the Netbook, and it deserves it's own category as it's not really a laptop, but then again it is a laptop, for all intents and purposes. The Netbook has added more confusion to the already confusing task of buying a laptop, as really they are their own product in themselves, they've taken on a life of their own really.
Technically a Netbook is a laptop, at least in size anyway, but they're really not meant to be used as one. A laptop usually has a nice large screen, large capacity hard drive, numerous connections and a powerful CPU to enable the user to use it as a desktop replacement to work on the go. The Netbook on the other hand is an internet-centric device that is primarily for email and internet only, you can of course run office applications on them, but the screen on a Netbook averages between seven and ten inches, which makes it not the best for office type applications and getting 'real' work done. Most Netbooks have a low powered CPU that gets the job done, but is mainly for energy efficiency, Netbooks also usually have small capacity hard drives built into them, and normally they are SSD or Solid State Drives which aren't as fast as a standard hard drive is. The majority of Netbook users utilize the internet for most everything, they use applications that are online, like Google Docs for instance, and even save all of their information online as well.
The Netbook name even suggests internet, many people use them as a supplement to their regular laptops and desktops when they don't need to carry around a full sized, powerful laptop. The portability of the Netbook is what makes them so popular, they're small, and easy to take with you everywhere you need to go, and at this point in time it's very easy to find an internet access point to connect to check email and get work done.
So to help out with your decision in purchasing a Netbook, I've got a list of things you should consider when looking to make the purchase:
Size and weight: Obviously Netbooks are small, lightweight and are made to be portable, but they can vary in size as there is no real specification of the common size of a Netbook, every manufacturer has a different idea of what he size of a Netbook should be and many have different sizes themselves. Since small size is the main idea behind a Netbook, you'll want to find one that is small enough to meet you needs but yet handle the tasks that you need it to.
Battery life: Since a Netbook is a portable device you'll be using it on the go, so you want to concern yourself with the battery life obviously. Netbooks now come with three cell or six cell batteries, and there is word of nine cell batteries on the way soon to offer even more run time for the Netbook. This of course does add more overall weight, but not much, most people opt for the six cell types as they offer a nice balance of battery life and weight.
Storage: As I mentioned already most Netbooks come with SSD drives, these are great because there are no moving parts to worry about, but SSDs haven't caught up to the overall speed of conventional hard drives just yet. Many people complain of lag with these drives, and if the option is available they'll choose the conventional hard drive over the SSD type. Of course though with the conventional hard disk you're adding more drain on the battery so expect less battery life than you would get with an SSD in the computer. Also of course to consider is capacity of these drives, SSD drives have not yet reached the sizes of conventional hard drives, so if you think you'll need a lot of storage space you might want to opt for the standard style hard drive.
Ram: With ram or memory you're always better off with more of it, the more the better really, but many entry level Netbooks come standard with 512MB of ram, while this works, you can experience more overall improvement in performance if you opt for more ram in the Netbook. Ram is much faster than paging to the hard disk, be it SSD style of conventional, ram is still faster. I would suggest getting at least one gigabyte of ram, or more if possible if the Netbook allows it. Many people might decide to upgrade ram later after the purchase, due to the compact size of the Netbook though this can be a difficult task, and really is much more worthwhile to just get the ram size you want shipped with the Netbook when you order it.
Features and specs: A lot of Netbooks look very similar on the outside, but when comparing the specs and features, they can differ a bit, especially with the processors, included ram, HDD capacity, type of HDD included, operating system, screen size and even the other features like Bluetooth capability, and included ports available to the user.
Most Netbooks have many USB ports in anticipation of the end user utilizing many external devices, but there is no common number really, so if you anticipate the need for many UBS ports make sure you check to see how many are there.
Bluetooth is not a standard on Netbooks, it's usually on optional feature and on some it's not available at all. So if you use Bluetooth a lot then you'll want to check to make sure the Netbook you're intending on buying has this features built in.
Operating system: With Netbooks many of them have a variation of Linux on them, it's a smaller, faster OS, that is also essentially free, so the overall cost of the Netbook can be lowered. If you're a Windows user though you'll have to essentially learn how to use a Linux based computer, many people have no problem with this while others have a lot of difficulty making the switch. Of course though there are Netbooks available with Windows installed on them. If you feel you can handle learning a new operating system then go for the Linux flavored Netbook, if not get the Windows version, which of course will cost a bit more than it's Linux counterpart or equivalent will.
Manufacturer: Honestly Netbooks have been around for quite a while, just called Ultra Portable Notebooks, but many manufacturers now specialize in Netbooks, which are have become something totally different from the Ultra Portable Notebooks as they were originally. When Asus came out with the EEE PC, their's was essentially the first real Netbook and it's popularity has skyrocketed since the first one came out, and of course many other companies came out with similar products as well to get in on the action. Since this is sort of a new technology, companies that have followed Asus have come out with their own, and some of them have run into problems along the way, like very low battery life among other things. Personally I would buy from a company that has an established reputation for manufacturing Netbooks, they've got all the bugs worked out and they know what they're doing. I'm not saying others are bad, I'm just saying you might run into unknown problems with newer Netbooks on the market today.
Warranty: Netbooks are relatively cheap, but still you want to check the warranties on them, they are a portable device and thus will be subject to more stress by traveling than other technological products. Warranties will vary between manufacturers, and some might offer extended warranties, and even specialized ones as well. Considering you'll most likely be traveling with a Netbook often, you might want to consider the warranty and the overall service quality of the manufacturer, you never know when disaster might strike and you'll need to have your Netbook serviced.
Ease of Use: This one is a bit hard to really take a look at the only way you'll be able to tell how easy a Netbook is to use is to check out reviews and talk to other owners of similar products. Of course though since you'll most likely be taking a netbooks with you many places, I'm sure you'll want it to be easy to use, with a good keyboard layout and easy access to the expansion ports.
As with any product, but especially newer ones like Netbook, it's always best to do quite a bit of research on them through reviews online and through product ratings sites like TestFreaks. You'll learn quite a bit of valuable information about a product through it's reviews, especially with a Netbook, concerning, build quality, ease of use and battery life.

The racing – most of it anyway – was at Pimlico this weekend as stakes-filled lineups dominated Friday and Saturday. Orb didn't win, so we'll have to wait for a Triple Crown winner (again), but the Preakness delivered a little bit of everything including a record-setting 14th Triple Crown race win for trainer Wayne Lukas with Oxbow. Amazing.
The pony's name was Sneeze, like Achoo. Got it? If you're a fan of Preakness favorite Orb, give the old, long-gone pony a God bless you for she was responsible for the early horsemanship of exercise rider/assistant trainer Jenn Patterson.
The TIHR Handicappers are back for another intrepid voyage into predicting the future. The Preakness card brings it all – the Rollicking, Chick Lang, James Murphy (our man), Allaire duPont Distaff, Gallorette, Maryland Sprint, Dixie and Preakness. Just for the record, Tom dutifully went back to his hotel and studied the form, Joe had his son Jack read the entries to him on his way around 695 and Sean went to the Sagamore party, so follow who you want.
Whew, time flies. Sorry, about posting late, we wound up in the Orb at Pimlico. Here are the ST Handicappers picks for Radnor. Hard to believe, it's time for Radnor already. Spring is almost gone, summer's looming.
Aggressive doesn't fit, workmanlike seems too cliché, and forward can't tell the entire story of Preakness Stakes contender Departing's professional approach when he hits the racetrack either for competition or morning training.
Thursday was a busy day in Baltimore for Niall and Stephanie Brennan, with horses to put through their final serious rehearsal before they exit their program at one racetrack and a star graduate to see on another.
Black Eyed Susan Day. Orb is perfect. Pink is the color of the day. Joe, Tom and Sean are at Pimlico. Tom, writing and taking photos. Joe, glasses perched atop his nose, pecking away at a feature for Jenn Patterson while his son revels in the infield. Sean, well, typing away at our picks for the day. As we say, we are not handicappers, but like to wade in at times.
Ralph Nicks might be up against it against his former boss in Friday's Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, but the easy going trainer didn't seem overly concerned as he went through his paces Thursday morning outside the stakes barn at Pimlico Race Course.
The morning two days before the Preakness Stakes is always a little more lively and laid back than just about any other during the American racing year, with each of the entrants and just about all their connections on hand along with the annual Alibi Breakfast, and Thursday didn't disappoint. Here's a little of what TIHR soaked in.
Robbie Walsh sat atop his horse midway through the Iroquois Steeplechase and said, almost out loud: "I don't know how well you're going, but I'm afraid to move."
Try as we might, we can't be everywhere so check this national news feed for more on Thoroughbred racing.
We run across some interesting stories while surfing the web which we are happy to share with our readers.

Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance celebrates Italian motoring - Autoweek
The concours on Rodeo started in 1993 with a three-block-long celebration of beautiful cars highlighted by the world debut of the Ferrari 348 Spyder. Piero Ferrari was there, along with Luca di Montezemolo and Sergio Pininfarina.
Since then, the annual Father's Day event has featured some of the world's most beautiful cars on the world's most famous shopping street. Considering that organizers had everything from Abarth to Zagato to choose from, you'd expect Ferrari, Lamborghini or Alfa Romeo to be featured. So it is something of a surprise that the honored marque this year is . . . Fiat.
But what the heck, who among us hasn't loved (and occasionally cursed) a Fiat at sometime or other? They are loveable cars and exhibit a character lacking in so many makes nowadays. Besides, the deal to feature Fiat was "more reasonable than you think," according to a Fiat source. We always love the etceterini at Concorso Italiano as much as, if not more than, any other Italian builder.
Along with a vintage Cinquicento or two, the company plans to roll out 14 versions of the new 2012 Fiat 500 on Rodeo, one of each color in which the little city car is available. Test drives will be available, too. No word on free balloons and elephant rides for the kids, but it should be fun.
Along with the Fiat 500 lineup will be a broad swath of automobiles and motorcycles representing the best and brightest Italy has to offer.
"The annual Father's Day event will highlight a world-class combination of automobiles, motorcycles and designers featuring Italian makes and models," promised event chairman Bruce Meyer, who has not disappointed over the years. "We hope to curate the best selection of Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Fiat, Lamborghini, Lancia and Maserati from Southern California and the western United States for this year's tribute to Italy."
That will include motorcycles from Ducati, Lambretta, Moto Guzzi and Vespa. Molto bene designs by Italian styling houses Bertone, Frua, Ghia, Michelotti, Pininfarina, Touring and Zagato also will be featured.
The best thing about the Rodeo Drive concours is that it's free. Dads always love to hear that. So bring Dad down to Rodeo on Sunday, June 19--and buy him an Armani suit while you're there. It's Rodeo Drive, after all.

Behemoth is the natural choice.
Good to know how highly your own character
Oh man those all look awesome.
I'm pulling for Behemoth.
S2 Games: Dedicated employees serving dedicated gamers. Continuous development. Never-ending improvement.
Oh yes because Valkyrie REALLY needs another alternate.
"These teenage trolls who are to young to realise trolling was so 3 years ago, had shitty childhoods so they subconsciously think if they win games their parent(s) will finally be proud of them for accomplishing something. This being said, they don't take pleasure in games unless they are winning."Originally Posted by Beowulf
ugh, at first i thought they are // and . therefore behe is the only one that fits pretty well, so i vote for him.
Voted for Behe, but beacouse there are so many teenagers here, valk will win for sure.
Gharbad from Diablo 1 is back, as completly new hero
We really need ANOTHER valk skin?
Behe mino is ok but not spectacular or super creative. Andro is meh.
Voting elec cause it's pretty sweet and the only skin we have now for that I'll never afford.
"I don't really like valk or behe but the current elec alt is pretty good and the kineses alt is decent"
or would be if I would ever be able to get it. this elec alt is the most creative of the 4 accept for maybe the valk and there's too many valk skins already.
Last edited by Androgeda; 04-18-2012 at 03:24 PM.
Electrician's skill really looks f***king awesome!
Valk no doubt's, gotta say elec is pretty damn nice also. wouldnt mind all 4 tbf.

Tammy got diamond earrings for Christmas this year. When Cheryl asked what she got and Tammy showed her, Cheryl looked directly at her husband and said she wanted some but her's had better be a carat larger. Right in front of Tammy! Tammy's family went and adopted a puppy from the pound. Cheryl went out and bought a purebred pup. Tammy says the last three trips they've taken, no little than a week later, Cheryl's family has gone to the same place, but of course stayed in more expensive hotels, ate at better restaurants, etc.
By the way, I never keep up with the Joneses.I drag 'em down to my level. It's cheaper.
So, how far is this sort of behavior just 'silly' and when does it become offensive? And what do you do about it if you DON'T want to be nasty to someone?
"Oh. You have a pool. How nice." "How nice" are my two favorite words in the English language that substitute for "yawn."
But there's a marvellous joke about one-upsmanship versus true class that uses the words "how nice," and I soooo badly want to share it.
Yikes. I don't blame Tammy for being annoyed. Cheryl sounds like a sad little person with mixed up priorities. I would not let Cheryl in my house any more, just based on the fact that she rifled through papers on son's desk. Lord knows what else she's rifled through. (Bills, wills, bank statements.) would also change the locks to my house and possibly install a secruity system because this person sounds ike the type to "stop in" when no one's home.

Unfortunately for the Navy-and-White, they ended their season in similar fashion.
Gordon Lee, winners of 19 consecutive games since that season-opening loss, saw their streak come to an end at the hands of the rival Bulldogs with another three-point setback on Saturday, falling 49-46 in the finals of the North Georgia Athletic Conference championship game at Heritage Middle School.
Trion, the tournament's No. 2 seed, jumped out to an 11-5 lead, but Gordon Lee would tie the game at 11 and again at 14 before a Gavin Roberson three-pointer 30 seconds into the second quarter capped a 12-3 run and gave the Trojans a 17-14 advantage.
But Isiah Foster and Ty Reynolds combined for all the points as Trion answered with a 9-0 run, and although Gordon Lee would respond with a 6-0 spurt to tie the game at 23, they would never take the lead again.
A 7-2 run over the final 1:14 of the first half put the Bulldogs up 30-25 at intermission. The Trojans would pull back within a single point three times in the third quarter, but another late Trion run gave them a 42-38 lead entering the fourth quarter.
A bucket by Jarrett Pierce stretched the lead to six at the 6:22 mark, but Gordon Lee would score five straight points over the next 2:42 to slice the lead back to one at 44-43.
Two free throws by Foster and a basket by Issac Foster pushed the Bulldogs' lead back to five with 2:15 to play, and Isiah Foster's steal with 40 seconds remaining appeared to have sealed the win. But an errant shot attempt gave the Trojans new life, and Roberson buried a three-pointer with 22 seconds left to make it a one-possession game at 48-46.
A turnover on the inbounds pass got the ball back for Gordon Lee, but they threw it away with 12.8 seconds left and were forced to foul. Pierce missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Issac Foster missed a free throw attempt after getting fouled on the offensive rebound.
After a steal, Isiah Foster connected from the line with 5.9 seconds to play, but missed the second attempt to give the Trojans one final chance to tie the game. However, Gordon Lee's desperation heave from 60 feet out was well off the mark, giving Trion the tournament title.
Isiah Foster had 25 points, five rebounds, and two steals on his way to being named the MVP. Issac Foster finished with nine points and eight rebounds, while Pierce added six points.
Chaney Rogers battled foul trouble, but had a team-high 18 points for Gordon Lee to go with six rebounds. Roberson had 14 points, while Caleb Boyd added nine points and eight rebounds to go with two blocked shots.

Galactic, huggable friends in sizes from 4" to 24"
As dorky as this may sound, we have a soft spot for plush. Plastic or metallic figures are cool, but sometimes, you just need a hug. (And guys, you won't lose your man card for admitting that.) Also, plushes are great gifts for wee geeks that you're trying to mold into lovers of the good Star Wars movies. Start them young, raise 'em right, we say. Don't want them asking for a Jar Jar plush! If there was ever a case for justifiable filicide... or at least extensive reprogramming...
These Star Wars Plush come in sizes from 4" keychain buddies all the way up to the mega huge 24" huggable Chewie. The 4" versions can be clipped to your keys, backback, laptop bag, or even the zipper of your winter coat. Each plush has a signature sound effect when you squeeze them: R2-D2 with his bleeps and bloops, Chewbacca with a Wookiee growl, Darth Vader's creepy stalker breathing, and Yoda with his patented advice for young Jedi-to-be.
Product Specifications

Duets | |
Season Two, Episode Four | |
First Aired | October 12, 2010 |
Episode Guide | |
previous "Grilled Cheesus" | next "The Rocky Horror Glee Show" |
Duets is the fourth episode of Glee's second season, and the twenty-sixth episode overall. It premiered on October 12, 2010.
Puck was absent in this episode and in the next one as well, due to the fact that he was in juvenile detention.
When Puck is sent to juvenile detention, Sam is introduced to the New Directions. As well as a new member being introduced, Will also introduces the new duets assignment to the Glee Club, offering a meal at Breadstix for the winning team. Kurt has his eye on Sam as his duet partner, but Finn tries to prevent them from being partners, thinking back to Kurt's crush on him the year before. Finn and Rachel know they can win the duets competition easily but decide to throw the competition so Sam and his chosen partner will definitely win, making sure Sam stays till Nationals so the group has a better chance of winning. Mike has difficulty singing as Tina assists him to create an entertaining duet and Quinn and Sam begin a romance.
The episode was directed by Eric Stoltz and was written by Ian Brennan.
Contents |
Will sets a duet assignment, offering a meal at Breadstix for the winning duo. He announces that Puck has been sent to juvenile detention for stealing his mother's car and driving it through a convenience store window, then driving away with an ATM in tow. He then introduces new member, Sam. Kurt suspects that Sam is gay, a certain clue being his dyed hair which Kurt can spot a mile away, and asks him to be his duet partner. Though Sam agrees, club co-captain Finn talks them out of partnering up, fearing that Sam will be subject to bullying for having a male partner. Kurt ignores him at first as he is still angry at Finn for his homophobic comments in Theatricality, the twentieth episode of Season One. After talking with Burt, who agrees with Finn, Kurt decides to break his partnership with Sam. Finn sings Don't Go Breaking My Heart with Rachel, who suggests letting Sam win the competition to boost club morale, make him feel a winner which will ensure he stays in the group and thereby increase their chance of winning at Nationals.
Brittany and Santana neck-nuzzle on Brittany's bed, but when Brittany suggests they sing Melissa Etheridge's Come to My Window together, Santana then refuses and trivializes their relationship. Santana believes her best chance of winning is by partnering with Mercedes, and together they sing River Deep, Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner. Attempting to make Santana jealous, Brittany pairs up with Artie, who rejects his ex-girlfriend Tina when she asks him to duet with her. Kurt sings Le Jazz Hot by himself, stating that when you're different and special, it sometimes means that you're on your own. His outstanding performance gains him a standing ovation from his peers.
Tina and her new boyfriend Mike duet on Sing! from A Chorus Line. Artie loses his virginity to Brittany, but is later informed by a very jealous Santana that Brittany was using him for his voice and dissolves their partnership. Brittany apologizes, in what is possibly her most genuine display of emotion, but Artie does not accept the apology and declines Brittany's invitation to Breadstix, so she sadly goes alone.
When Sam has a slushie thrown in his face by bullies, Quinn helps him to clean up. Later, he asks her to be his partner and attempts to kiss her. Quinn, still haunted by her mistakes of the previous year, is frightened to become involved with a guy and pulls away, telling him they cannot sing together. Later, Rachel connivingly persuades Quinn back into her partnership. Rachel and Finn, dressed as a schoolgirl and a priest, respectively, in an intentionally offensive move, performs With You I'm Born Again, hoping to damage their own chance of winning the competition. Sam and Quinn sing Lucky. All of the club members vote for themselves, except Finn and Rachel, who vote for Sam and Quinn, ensuring that they win the competition. Over dinner at Breadstix, they form a friendship, and Quinn tells Sam that he should pay, as that is the proper thing for a gentleman to do on what has become their first date.
As the scene at Breadstix ends, Brittany is herself, nosing a meatball across a plate ala Lady and the Tramp. Noticing that Kurt is lonely, Rachel tells him how much the club members value him and asks him to duet with her for fun. The episode ends with them singing the famous Judy Garland/Barbra Streisand mash-up of Happy Days Are Here Again and Get Happy in a content mood in front of the rest of New Directions.

- When Santana chastises Kurt about doing his duet on his own (Victor/Victoria), Santana says, "it's like vocal masturbation," you can hear Brittany say, "That's so funny!" But, due to how the show is edited, Santana looks disgusted at her own comment, is saying something else, and Brittany isn't talking at all.
- Artie tells Brittany that she never spoke to him, but in Preggers, Vitamin D, Sectionals, The Power of Madonna, Bad Reputation, Theatricality, and Journey she does.

I was going to order us one really, really long piece of spaghetti like in Lady and the Tramp. I've been practicing nudging the meatball across the table with my nose. | " |

The latest month's wackiness in the world of international relations, politics, and brinkmanship.
North Korea demands US withdrawal from peninsula before resuming talks: Now we know that the North is just posturing and has no stomach to start a hot war with the South. The bad part from their perspective is that if they are dumb enough to try and ;pull off even a limited attack the days when they could expect a proportional or even no response from the South are probably over as the South would probably retaliate all out of proportion to the scale of any provocation from the DPRK.
Boston Marathon bombings: No doubt more information about this will come out as the investigation proceeds. I have linked the Wikipedia article as it gets updated very quickly with developments and the editors do a pretty good job of keeping it objective. One thing seems pretty clear now, the bombings were motivated by Islamism of some sort although exact details are unknown. A disturbing development is the idea proposed by some Republicans that the surviving attacker be denied his rights as a US citizen and be treated as an "enemy combatant." I don't expect that to go anywhere in this case but the idea has been proposed and that it is seriously proposed by members of the US government is scary in the extreme.
Some lawmakers told last week about Syria, sarin, U.S.: Intelligence points to small-scale use of sarin in Syria: There have been several reports of Syrian use of Chemical Weapons over the last few weeks first from the Israelis and now coming out of Congress. I simply cannot believe there is any corroboration or confirmation of their use or this story would be all over the news since the Boston Bombings are starting to fade. I tend to discount these reports until we get confirmation of their veracity. The next question is what the response will be? It has been longstanding US policy that they will not tolerate the use of such weapons but I would guess that we will do noting unless and until US personnel are impacted. The US stood by as Saddam gassed the Kurds in the 80′s why would it be any different now?
Too late for Syria-Radicals now rule the rebellion: Ralph Peters has a pretty interesting take on Syria and a pretty good argument for why the West and particularly the US should stay out of it.
Israel Targeted Iranian Missiles in Syria Attack: I think we are supposed to be shocked and dismayed that Israel is being pre-emptive about the Syrian Civil War and countering threats before they kill Israeli civilians. I don't know why we should be though. What I am surprised about is the level of restraint Israel has thus far shown. Then again, I am not one of those that automatically assume anything Israel does is evil and anything their enemies do is virtuous either.
UN accuses Syrian rebels of carrying out sarin gas attacks which had been blamed on Assad's troops: Well, what is it? Is it the Syria government or the Rebels using Chemical Weapons? If someone were willing to bet, I would bet that IF such weapons are being used, both sides are using them. If that is the case who will the Western Powers attack and will rebel use affect the aid they are receiving from the West? I would guess the Western powers will wink at rebel use because they have convinced themselves that the rebels are as pure as the driven snow and only do what they do out of necessity.
Lijian stealth drone prepares for test flight: Is it just me or does it increasingly look like there is a Cold War shaping up between China and the US and our Allies? This article reminds me of the Soviet roll-outs of new weapon systems as it seems designed to intimidate. The difference this time around is I don't think the US is prepared economically or politically to confront China for global dominance. The US wasted whatever peace dividend we got from the demise of the Soviets in the fruitless wars of the past decade.
Hezbollah says Syria to supply 'game-changing arms': Just to make things even more interesting it is increasingly starting to look as though the Middle East is getting ready for a do-over of the Arab-Israeli wars of the 50′s & 60′s with a side order of civil war thrown in. We live in interesting times indeed.

Supporting Civil Rights for Atheists and the Separation of Church and State
In the Eye of the Storm
Cranford, NJ--American Atheists was dealt a blow this week as Hurricane Sandy caused damage to the exterior and interior of the main office in Cranford, NJ. The office has been closed this week and we are not certain when it will reopen. The staff are safe and in good health. Some have sustained damages to their homes and all are living without access to electricity, heat, water, and gasoline. Basic resources in the area are becoming scarce. We extend a hearty thank you to all who have inquired about our well-being.
American Atheists is not able to function at normal capacity at this time. Please be patient as we attempt to procure resources and begin the recovery process.
AMERICAN ATHEISTS is a national 501(c)(3) organization that defends civil rights for atheists, freethinkers, and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of religion and government; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.

Foreclosure Shoppers Find the Shelves Bare
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. home foreclosures have fallen to a six-year low, and that trend has hit bargain hunters in the wallet.
Home foreclosure discounts just aren't as steep as they were in the Great Recession, when buyers could count on scooping up a distressed property for 75 cents on the dollar. Why has a great deal to do with a thinner foreclosure market.
According to RealtyTrac, U.S. foreclosure filings fell 7% from December to January. Foreclosures are also down by 28% from January 2012 through last month.
Like many cultural and economic trends, look to California for a big reason distressed properties are in decline.
"The U.S. foreclosure landscape in January was profoundly altered by the effects of new legislation that took effect in California on the first of the year," says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "Dubbed the 'Homeowners Bill of Rights,' this legislation extends many of the principles in the national mortgage settlement -- including a prohibition on so-called dual tracking and requiring a single point of contact for borrowers facing foreclosure -- to all mortgage servicers operating in California."
Blomquist says the California statutes impose fines of $7,500 per loan to banks and lenders who file "multiple" improper foreclosure documents. That has led to mortgage lenders thinking twice before filing foreclosure notices, and has them exploring other options in dealing with struggling homeowners.
That has cut foreclosures significantly in the Golden State.
"For the first time since January 2007 California did not have the most properties with foreclosure filings of any state," he adds. "Instead that dubious distinction went to Florida, where January foreclosure activity increased on an annual basis for the 11th time in the last 13 months."
With foreclosures at their lowest levels since 2008, bargain shoppers looking for steeply discounted foreclosed homes are coming up empty these days.
Data from the real estate analytical firm FNC shows that foreclosure prices have "bottomed out in recent months."
FNC also notes the foreclosure market has "stabilized" as U.S. home prices have risen in value. That, the firm says, is "encouraging news" for the domestic housing market, which has been in the doldrums since 2007.
