It was a decade heavy on debuts from directors who would go on to become some of the most iconic in Hollywood, with then-rookies Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher rolling out a combined seven features.
Copyright: Rex Features Warner Br/Everett
Compared to the franchise-tastic '80s, this is a decade that on first glance leant more towards the arthouse than the multiplex, although the trio of Independence Day, Titanic and The Matrix make that a tough point to argue.And that's not to mention Pixar's Toy Story, a genuinely groundbreaking picture not only by virtue of being the first entirely computer-animated feature, but by virtue of also being as saturated with warmth and humanity as any live-action film of the decade.
Digital Spy counts down 25 of the decade's greatest big-screen treats.

Villa Malvarosa ~ The Perfect Place to Relax and Unwind ~ Plenty to do Imagine a holiday in a luxury villa in a tranquil location with swimming pool and within a 5 minute drive to the shops, bars, doctors & miles of stunning beaches.....Only just over a 2-hour flight from Stanstead UK, other carriers fly to Gibraltar (about 1 hour drive), Seville (1 hour drive) Faro (2 ½ hour drive), Malaga (2 ½ drive), Villa Malvarosa is situated in authentic Southern Spain, the heart of Andalusia with its Sherry and "bodegas", its flamenco, bulls and horses, its "white villages" and natural parks.It is to be found in a very quiet rural area which is approximately 30 minute drive from the nearest airport, Jerez. Just off a main road & about 500 yards down a dirt track (It can get a bit muddy in the winter) you will find it far enough away, not to hear any major traffic.The Villa is a modernised property in a superb location in the center of a small hamlet which is surrounded by protected Pine Trees.Beaches near Villa Malvarosa There are some fantastic beaches approximately 2km away which will lead you to the Costa de la Luz (Coast of light). This is in the western part of the Andalucía coastline that faces out to the Atlantic. The sand is finer and a more golden colour than the neighboring Costa del Sol & the Mediterranean. The typical beaches here are more expansive and usually backed by sand dunes and pine trees. Perfect for family holidays. This part of the coast has not seen the high-rise hotel development of other areas like the Costa de Sol. Ask yourself, how many Spanish go on holiday to the Costa de Sol? We have discovered their secret...Where & What to do ~ If You Can Be Pulled Away from the Villa!Even though situated in a position, that is off the beaten track, the Villa is within a few minutes drive from local bars and restaurants, with the main town of Chiclana De La Frontera only ten minutes by car, the oldest City in the world, Cadiz just fifteen minutes.Approximately an hours drive from the Villa, you will find the stunning City of Seville. Gibraltar & all that duty free shopping is also about an hour drive. About 30 min away in Tarifia you will find ferries that will take you to from Southern Spain to Tangier in North Africa. Also very close is the golf paradise of Sancti Petri which is ideal, as the mild climate converts this region into an ideal destination for any type of sport, including fishing, diving, boating, sailing, golfing all the year through.The Villa Malvarosa ~ The Perfect Venue.Villa Malvarosa is situated on two level's with a 170 sq mtr floor space. You walk through the main covered terrace entrance into the hall, on the left you will find two bedrooms, which comprises of one master double bedroom with en-suite facilities including a shower. One twin bedroom fully furnished. Both bedrooms consist of large brass ceiling lights with three speed fans. On the right as you walk into the property you will find the main bathroom with shower.In the main open plan area there is a 'U' staircase leading to a very large bedroom with 4 single beds with en-suite toilet. This bedroom has a large freestanding fan.The kitchen area comprises fully fitted kitchen with oven/hob, fridge/freezer, washing machine, microwave etc, including a small breakfast bar for up to three people with all round granite worktop. The backdoor leads out to the rear of the property which captures the early morning sunshine, which is ideal to sit out and enjoy your breakfast. A clothes airer is provided. The lounge / dining area comprises a dining table which will extend to sit up to 8 people. You will also find an additional fridge here for drinks etc. The main living area has two large suites, 6ft and 5ft facing out into the garden & pool with satellite TV & DVD in the corner. You will find the two large brass ceiling lights which have three speed fans to keep you cool.The garden at the front of the property enjoys the sun all day, and within the 1000 sq metre walled plot, you will find a large private pool with garden furniture. Alongside the Villa you will find a large BarBQ & additional outside dining area. If you want to get out of the sun, a covered terrace adjoins the front of the villa. You will find lighting surrounding the Villa, so you can continue to enjoy the late evening outside, even after sunlight.We have had many customers who have enjoyed their stay at Malvaorsa, with the majority giving the Villa a 5 STAR review. Check them out.
This is the exact location
Outside this Self catering villa in Chiclana De La Frontera, Spain
The villa is in a very quiet area. It has a private south facing swimming pool, a south facing garden, a east facing patio area, panoramic views, interesting views, a barbeque. If you are driving there is private parking with the outside areas of the house having external lighting.

At the very end Benji's voice says "isn't that BeNji from the HowARD sTERN SHOW"...LOL
Wow. She checks for the camera before she kisses him. Completely pathetic.
I thought Benji lives in an apartment? How does he have a garage?
1. Elisa keeps sticking her head in front of camera
2. Benjy's serial killer smile.
thanks for posting the video.
benjy and elisa are very creepy
Wasn't she kicked out of some shitty band for being a raging cunt?
Preservation through destruction.
Private video.
Oh well, I suppose this is all we'll hear about on Monday's show.
Elisa is trying to reinvent herself as a madcap comedian who also has singing and entertainment talent - kind of like Lucille Ball or Carol Burnett. She wants us to think she's Cher and Benjy is Sonny.
The poor girl has become demented since she started hanging out with Benjy. She'd do much better by ditching him, finding some nice Jewish doctor to marry, squeeze out a few puppies and move out to Long Island with the rest of them. All she's going to get by hanging out with Benjy is old.
no matter what hat he wears, it always looks like he's hiding the fact that he's bald
Benjy is like a man-boy.

Character name: Roshi
Character level: 18
Character class: Paladin
Character build: Hammerdin
Game difficulty: Normal
Act: 2
Corpse looted: No
Death type: PvP
Hello all, just had my first HC death. Had a level 18 hammerdin, then a level 12 assasin joined the game, and declared hostile to all.
I met him at the arcane sanctuary WP , he was following me, I tried to run around him and kill him, he looked harmless, only level 12, then he killed me in 1 hit. GG to the assasin
Good thing I did not have anything to lose, this was just my second HC char (after my level 32 barbarian - still alive), now I know why 5 people left the game when he declared hostile. Only me and 2 others remained
Remade the character, died again at level 19, - entered a portal in the middle of the flame throwing demons near diablo. Was in alt-tab, someone was boosting, then I look back see a portal - enter

COLUMN: All races can meet highest standards
I take this one personally. Let me tell you why.
As I recall, I scored 960 on my SAT. This was good enough for second-best in my class and many congratulations and backslaps from teachers and administrators. Based on that, I thought I'd done pretty well.
So I'm in college, right? Freshman year, and I get to talking with my roommate, this white guy named Reed, about our SAT scores. Reed's kind of sheepish, finally confessing that he scored "only" about 1200.
That's when I realized I had not done pretty well. I had done pretty well for a student of John C. Fremont High, in the poverty, crime and grime of South Los Angeles. I had done pretty well for a black kid.
As it happens, I started classes at the University of Southern California at 15 years of age, got good grades and came out four years later with my degree. So there was nothing wrong with my brain. I've always suspected my modest SAT score and the fact that I was encouraged to celebrate it said less about me than about the expectations others had of me -- and kids like me.
So yes, it touches me in a raw spot, this news that two states -- Florida and Virginia -- have adopted new education standards under which they would set different goals for students, based on race, ethnicity and disability.
Like many other states, Florida and Virginia requested waivers from the No Child Left Behind Act's unrealistic goal of having every child at grade level in reading and math by 2014. But these states used their waivers to create separate and unequal performance standards for their black, white, Hispanic, Asian and disabled children.
Last month, for example, Florida set a goal of having 86 percent of white kids at or above grade level in math by 2018. For black kids, the goal is 74 percent. Virginia is wrestling with similar standards.
In fairness, both states would want you to know a couple of things. First, that these dissimilar standards reflect the achievement gap, the fact that kids do not start toward the goal from the same place. Black kids may have to cover more ground to reach a lower benchmark because they are starting from further behind. The second thing is that these are interim goals and the ultimate goal remains the same: close the achievement gap and educate every child to her fullest potential.
Understood. But if that's what these standards are, can we talk for a moment about what they feel like? The best analogy I can give you is based in the fact that some coaches and athletic directors have noted a steep decline in the number of white kids going out for basketball. They feel as if they cannot compete with their black classmates. What if we addressed that by lowering the rim for white kids? What if we allowed them four points for each made basket? Continued...
Can you imagine how those white kids would feel whenever they took the court? How long would it be before they internalized the lie that there is something about being white that makes you inherently inferior when it comes to hoops, Steve Nash and Dirk Nowitzki notwithstanding?
Indeed, for all the talk about the so-called "reverse racism" of affirmative action, I have long argued that the real problem with it -- and the reason it needs an expiration date -- is that it might give African-American kids the mistaken idea they carry some inherent deficiency that renders them unable to compete with other kids on an equal footing.
We should be wary of anything, however well-intentioned, however temporary, which conveys that impression to our children. I am proof we have been doing just that for a very long time. And it burns -- I tell you this from experience -- to realize people have judged you by a lower standard, especially when you had the ability to meet the higher one all along. So this "interim" cannot end soon enough.
Because ultimately, you do not fix education by lowering the bar. You do it by lifting the kids.

This comment is regarding the gay marriages in Mass. I am a resident in Vermont and unfortunately your article shares incorrect information. Vermont was the first US state to legalise gay marriages. I just thought I would point that out. I think it was in 2000 that gay marriages were actually legalised in Vermont.

GALLIPOLIS — A Gallia County man who previously served time for a 2009 summer burglary has been sent back to prison after violating the terms of his probation while out on judicial release.
Jeremy Gibson, 25, Vinton, was ordered on Tuesday in the Common Pleas Court of Gallia County to serve the remaining two years of his four-year sentence for burglary.
Gibson, along with Michael A. Writesel, 26, Gallipolis, and Richard K. Mullins, 26, was arrested following a July 2, 2009, burglary at a Green Township residence.
As previously reported, Writesel and Mullins were arrested near the home by Gallia County sheriff's deputies after neighbors were able to hold them at gunpoint until law enforcement could arrive.
Reportedly, the neighbors had witnessed the suspects exit the victims' residence carrying arm loads of property.
Gibson, who had reportedly fled into a wooded area following the burglary, was arrested three days later.
In addition to the July 2 burglary, the trio was charged with possessing criminal tools as they allegedly possessed two pairs of black gloves, a bandanna, a hacksaw, a screwdriver and a police scanner at the time of the incident.
Gibson, Writesel and Mullins were also subsequently charged in connection with a burglary that occurred at a residence on East Bethel Church Road between June 30 and July 1, 2009, and allegedly stealing a Remington 30-30 rifle at the time of the burglary.
Also charged in relation to this second burglary was Reginald S. Gillespie, II, 28, Gallipolis, who pleaded not guilty to one count of complicity to burglary and one count of theft in July 2009.
Gillespie later pleaded guilty to attempting to commit burglary charge and was sentenced in February 2010 to report for two-years of probation.
According to the Gallia County Clerk of Courts online docket, last week, Gillespie's term of community control was extended three years as he had failed to make his supervision fee payments.
Writesel later pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary and was sentenced, in October 2009, to a six-year prison term.
According to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction website, Writesel is scheduled to be released on July 1, 2015.
Similarly, Mullins also later pleaded guilty to both counts of burglary and was sentenced to serve a six-year term in a state prison.
Mullins is scheduled to be released on June 30, 2015.
Gibson, who pleaded guilty on September 28, 2009, to the July 2 burglary, was sentenced to serve four years in the state prison system and ordered to pay $100 in restitution to the victim.
According to the plea agreement in this case, the remaining three counts of Gibson's indictment were dismissed by the state and the state further agreed to recommend judicial release after the defendant had served two years of incarceration.
On July 12, 2011, a motion for judicial release was filed by the defendant and a subsequent journal entry filed by Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins recommends the judicial release as Gibson, who had been given credit for 90 days served during sentencing, had served a total of 22 months of incarceration.
Judicial release was subsequently granted by Common Pleas Judge D. Dean Evans and Gibson was released on July 27, 2011, and placed on two years of community control.
Violations against Gibson were filed on May 29, 2012, and alleged that, among several violations, Gibson had tested positive for cocaine, THC, opiates and benzodiazepine after submitting to a urine test in May.
He was arraigned on the violations on May 30 and was later released on an own recognizance bond.
A final hearing in this case was later continued to January 8, 2013, and, during a hearing on Tuesday, Gibson was ordered to serve the two-year balance of his term for burglary in this case for violating the terms of his probation.
The defendant was given credit for 17 days served.

As a Midwestern gal, I would like to take you on a quick, two-stop, cruelty-free tour of my section of the U.S. It's a little something I'm calling the Midwest Victory Tour. Sometimes I feel as though this part of the country gets a bum rap, so this tour is to give props to two forward-thinking Midwestern educational institutions, one in Wisconsin and one in Utah, that have recently stopped exploiting animals. If only all schools could be as progressive.
First stop on the Midwest Victory Tour is a school district in Wisconsin. A concerned citizen contacted us after learning that the district was offering a kids' summer science course that included six dissections as well as an activity in which students were given a live rat to "care for" throughout the duration of the course. We contacted the school immediately about cutting out the old-school classroom dissections and to inform school officials that rats need constant care and compassion, not a summer course's worth of "caretaking." After nearly a year of persistent follow-up, we are excited to let you know that this course is finally history!
Our next stop on the tour takes us to a Utah educational nonprofit that was recommending experiments in which live goldfish were put in ice baths in order to cause hypothermia. Since the experimenters probably wouldn't do this sort of thing to Fluffy, the family kitty, we sent the nonprofit a letter outlining why it's cruel to freeze any kitten—including sea kittens. After hearing our suggestion for cruelty-free coursework, the nonprofit has agreed to no longer suggest shocking the nervous systems of these adorable goldkittens for classroom experiments.
Well, that's the end of our Midwest Victory Tour. See, it's not all beef-expos and pus-farms in the Midwest. There's some compassion for animals too.

Sorry to break the news, but Disney was lying when it told you that crabs could sing and dance. However, it turns out that your childhood friend Sebastian definitely had reason to fear being hurt by Ursula, because … drum roll, please … crabs "sense and remember pain."
That's right, a recent study by Queen's University is making headlines by declaring (once and for all, we hope) that crabs and other crustaceans experience pain and react to it in a way that anyone can relate to. They quickly get away from what's causing the pain and then try to avoid it in the future. Makes sense. If you were to, say, touch a hot stove even though your mother told you not to, you probably wouldn't do it again. Same goes for the crab.
The only questions that remain are: How much did it pain Sebastian to be exploited by Disney for the awful (unfortunately I know this from firsthand experience) straight-to-DVD flicks The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning, and how long will he remember it?
P.S. Not surprised by this news? Well maybe that's because you're already a hermit-crab expert. Take the PETA Kids Hermit Crab Quiz to test your crabtelligence.
Back in 2004, PETA launched our Holocaust on Your Plate (HOYP) traveling display, which juxtaposes images of animals in slaughterhouses and factory farms with images of humans in Nazi concentration camps. The display was inspired by a passage from Nobel-prize–winning Jewish author Isaac Bashevis Singer's book, The Letter Writer: "In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka." This struck a chord with one of our Jewish staffers, who proposed the idea of creating a display that he hoped would encourage people to consider that the same mindset that allows the routine and systematic murder of animals also allows the routine and systematic murder of human beings.
The HOYP display—which was also funded by a Jewish PETA member—traveled all over the U.S., where it sparked a tremendous amount of debate and discussion about both animal rights and human rights issues. Then across the pond, PETA Germany took the idea and ran with it. And that's where the trouble began. Yesterday, Germany's high court banned PETA Germany's Holocaust display, stating that it would have made "the fate of the victims of the Holocaust appear banal and trivial."
This ruling left the staffers of our German affiliate scratching their heads, because the display only renders the humans' suffering "banal and trivial" if the animals' suffering is considered banal and trivial. Which is the whole point of the display …
Anyway, PETA Germany is, of course, appealing the ruling, and it is confident that free speech will win out in the end.
So what do you think, PETA Files readers? Did the campaign go too far? Was the German high court justified in banning it—or should free speech have reigned supreme?

You have to wonder why the seal slaughter is allowed to continue even though almost everyone is opposed to it, including most Canadians. Helpless baby seals are beaten to death. The babies are dragged across the ice with boat hooks, and some are even skinned alive.
So you see why we're doing all we can to stop the massacre, right? And we're definitely not alone in this fight. This week, U.S. Sens. Carl Levin and Susan Collins introduced a resolution asking the Canadian government to put an end to the seal slaughter. Hooray! We'll keep you updated on the resolution's progress. In the meantime, try sending a letter to Canadian officials urging them to stop the seal slaughter (and asking your friends to do the same), signing our petition (and asking your friends to do the same), and posting our alert on your Facebook page (and asking … well, I think you get the idea). We need the support of everyone we (and you) can possibly contact to stop this slaughter.
But before you get started calling, e-mailing, and IMing your friends, check out these pictures from PETA's protest in Toronto this week:

Our McCruelty campaign has been raging on for about a month now, with no word from McDonald's about improving welfare standards for the animals killed for its restaurants. But since when has a little resistance stopped us? That said, we think it's the perfect time to kick the campaign up a notch, don't you agree?
Our latest efforts have us thinking big—as in billboard big. Check it out:
We plan to place the eye-opening billboard in select cities across the country. We're certain it will have motorists seeing red once they learn that the biggest seller of chicken meat in the country refuses to compel its suppliers to switch to a better slaughter method.
Contrary to what Ronald would like consumers to believe, it's not all Happy Meals and hamburger patches under the golden arches. Far from it.
Please take action now by urging McDonald's to support only suppliers that use controlled-atmosphere killing.

Update: Michael Jackson has announced that he will not be using any live animals in his concert series at London's O2 arena. Click here for more info.
The King of Pop has a sordid past when it comes to the way he treats animals, but we were still shocked by Michael Jackson's reported plans to ride an African elephant and use other exotic animals during his upcoming 30-day stint at The O2 arena in London.
PETA Europe wrote a letter to The O2 to let officials there know about Michael's sketchy track record of animal neglect. The letter included some basic information about how exotic animals actually don't want to perform stupid tricks on a stage surrounded by screaming people, bright lights, and stage explosions.
So come on, Michael, pull a "Britney" and leave exotic animals out of your performances.
When we discussed the first dog to die during the 2009 Iditarod, I mentioned that more were likely to follow. Now, at the end of the race, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that this year's death toll stands at six.
Six dogs. Dead.
And for what? A belt buckle. A long shot at some money, a pickup truck, and a few endorsement deals. I suppose they think that they're covering themselves in glory, too, but it looks more like blood to me.
Consider this: Two of the dogs may have frozen to death in the punishing weather. Two others died with fluid in their lungs. The most recently reported death apparently happened during a turbulent plane flight after the "musher" gave up. Even the generally Iditarod-supportive Anchorage Daily News called the number of deaths—only five, at the time—"troubling," but that misses the point: Even one dog dead is too many, and it is unacceptable that the dogs who survive are run to exhaustion or injury, only to be stuck back on a chain until the next race.
To paraphrase a classic cartoon, we say it's cruelty, and we say the hell with it. PETA has asked the Alaska State Troopers to open a criminal investigation into the deaths of these dogs in the Iditarod. We'll keep you posted on any major developments. In the meantime, even though this year's event has mercifully ended, it's not too late to tell the 2009 Iditarod sponsors to make this the last year that they contribute to dogs' deaths.

When a Time Warner Cable Store at the Independence Mall in Wilmington, N.C., planned to host Kelly's Paw Print Productions exotic-animal show, it apparently had no idea that Paw Prints is a chronic violator of the federal Animal Welfare Act. Time Warner Cable didn't hesitate to cancel the scheduled event with Paw Prints, however, after PETA informed the media giant about the exhibitor's lengthy history of animal abuse.
It's not surprising that Time Warner Cable would want nothing to do with a business that has been repeatedly cited by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for failure to provide animals with veterinary care or appropriate and sufficient food as well as failure to handle animals so that there is minimal risk of harm to the animals and the public. In announcing the cancellation of the event, Time Warner's Director of Media Relations Melissa Buscher stated, "The safety of our customers and the well-being of the animals are a top concern for Time Warner Cable." You'll find a lot of things in our factsheet on Kelly's Paw Print Productions, but customer safety and animal welfare are two things that are noticeably lacking.
Big props to Time Warner Cable for not wanting to associate itself with Kelly's Paw Print Productions, but the truth is that most animal exhibitors have similarly miserable records of animal care. Please thank the Time Warner Cable Store for its decision to cancel the Paw Prints event and ask Time Warner to take one more progressive step and enact a policy permanently prohibiting the display of wild animals at any of its locations.

… Wait a minute, what am I saying? We love to say "We told you so." And this time, what we've been telling you for years is finally making headlines. Here's the truth—drumroll, please—meat, as it turns out, is bad for you.
Specifically, meat increases your chances of dying prematurely.
That's right, we weren't just making it up. Research has, once again, linked the consumption of meat with heart disease and certain types of cancer—and this time, it's more conclusive than ever. As The Washington Post explains, a new case study has just been published—the first large examination of the relationship between eating meat and overall risk of early death—and guess what it found?
"The bottom line is we found an association between red meat and processed meat and an increased risk of mortality," concluded the leader of the study, Rashmi Sinha of the National Cancer Institute.
Women in the study who ate the most red meat were 36 percent more likely to prematurely die of any cause than those who ate less (or none), and they were 50 percent more likely to die of heart disease! Maybe it's just me, but those kinds of odds would definitely shock me into seriously reconsidering my meaty habits. Men who ate the most red meat didn't do much better—they were 31 percent more likely to die prematurely of any cause.
Amusingly, the only defense that the American Meat Institute could muster was that meat products "provide a sense of satisfaction and fullness that can help with weight control." So don't worry about the cancer and heart disease, say the meat guys, because filling your stomach with disease-linked animal flesh makes you full, and that keeps the weight off! Um, nice try, fellas.
Nope, I'm not buying the meat guys' argument—and something tells me a lot of other people won't be, either. This could end up as a real victory for our arteries—and for animals.
Thanks for all of your wonderful comments on this Win It Wednesday. The winners of the humane mousetrap are Christina Eckhart, Ipstenu, and Jennifer Short. Congratulations!
It's almost spring, the time when a young mouse's fancy turns to thoughts of love. Next thing you know, you may start hearing the pitter-patter of little mouse feet on your attic floorboards. Now, we know you would never want to hurt one of these cute little guys, but we can understand if some of you don't want them setting up a love nest in your box of old LPs. That's why we're offering up three of our popular humane mousetraps for "Win It" Wednesday.
PETA's mousetraps are great because mice can be caught alive and unharmed and released outdoors. The same can't be said of glue traps, which we've been begging Lowe's for months to stop selling. It's like they don't care that animals caught in these traps can suffer for days before finally succumbing to starvation, dehydration, or suffocation.
How do you win? Post a comment with your thoughts on why Lowe's should stop selling glue traps. The three people who post the most persuasive answers will each win a humane mousetrap.
The contest ends on April 1, 2009, and we'll choose the three most persuasive comments as the winners on April 3, 2009. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Check back every Wednesday for new prizes. Good luck!
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

2. | Kezia | ||
in the spanish version of the bible it has it as one of Job's daughters which are proclaimed as the most beautifulest woman in the land.
Hey you seen that new girl Kezia
Yeah she's her name sake |
1. | Kezia | ||
1. The first full-length release by Canadian metal band Protest the Hero. Kezia is essentially a concept album (or "situationist requiem" as the band members have called it), tracing the interconnected stories of three people - Kezia, a young woman sentenced to death, the prison guard ordered to execute her, and the prison priest presiding over her execution - in a very deep and emotional way. the lyrics were written by bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi, a poet in the very sense of the word. Perhaps more impressive, the band members began writing the music when they were teenagers and taught themselves how to play it for years, and play excellently at that. Whether you label them as "emo" or not, anyone who does not at the very least acknowledge the band's exceptional talent and the musicianship displayed in Kezia, is either hearing-impaired, or devoid of any musical taste whatsoever and in the latter case, must be immediately ear-stabbed. In short, Kezia is an aural and lyrical orgasm.
2. Anything which causes a sublime release of pleasure in the ear region. |
3. | Kezia | ||
Kezia is a lovely, intelligent girl who is usually quiet but can be loud at times. Usually hv very random & crazy friends. She is usually short but lots of fun 2 be around. Usually a musician. Most ppl ADORE her!! 'Isn't she nice, she's a Kezia'

4. | Kezia | ||
Someone who lights up the room. She is a amazing friend to people around her. She is often good in bed. She is a decendent from the godess of beauty. Shit that girls a kezia
5. | Kezia | ||
Kezia is the perfect girlfriend! She's drop dead gorgeous, caring, understanding and has the best personality in a girl you could ever imagine. Her eyes and smile are beautiful are she's amazing in general. There must be a God for someone as perfect as Kezia exist. Omg thats kezia asdfghjkl
6. | Kezia | ||
Spanish name. Often nicknames Keesh, Kez, or Ke.
Outgoing, positive outlook. Called Kesha after popular recording artist. Original girls name 1) Look there's Kezia!

Missing drive in /dev, but shows in dmesg
Hi, I have a big pile of 1U boxes that are getting OpenBSD and I have run into a weird problem that is probably easily explained by someone who is more current with OpenBSD than me!
I boot a 4.7 install CD (or tftp) and dmesg shows sd0 and sd1 -- the 2 32G Corsair SSDs I have -- and I usually like to dd them first thing: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsd0c bs=1024000 And this works fine for sd0, but /dev/rsd1c doesn't exist. In fact, nothing related to sd1 exists in /dev. But it was in the dmesg. What am I missing? It's annoying to boot into a Debian rescue disc just to dd since it sees the drives as sda and sdb and can dd without any problems. After the install, sd1 works fine and is used to complete a software RAID1 which goes off without a hitch. I don't think there are hardware problems. Thanks! |
OpenBSD doesn't have a dynamic devfs, the contents of /dev are generated by a script in the same directory (MAKEDEV), only a few devices have nodes created by default.
Simply create the device nodes yourself manually, the following should work: # cd /dev; /bin/sh MAKEDEV sd1 It does seem strange to only have device files for a single sd(4) device, I'm not sure why that is the case.. is this OpenBSD/i386 or perhaps some other supported platform? |
The ramdisk kernel does not have the complete set of devs, due to lack of RAM space. The install/upgrade scripts will MAKEDEV what is needed, but if you are doing something else with bsd.rd, best to create just the devices you need.
Another option can be found in my .sig, below.
OpenBSD LiveCDs/LiveDVDs |
Thanks! Forgot about MAKEDEV. That works great and I can stop using my Debian CD to dd.
These are dual core 64bit Intel Atom machines with 2xSSDs (in software RAID1) and will be doing much OpenBSD based routing after seeing what Cisco wants for licenses. Pf rocks, as it has for at least a decade when I last used it, and the whole ipsec/openvpn setup is sweet. Got all my networks talking without even breaking a sweat. |

I spent the entire installation time with the two installers since I had some unusual installation requirements (they did not really like this). with the exception of a couple installation problems, I have been very satisfied over 5 years of experience. The only problems I had was a cracked plastic fitting at exp valve which caused a very small gas/oil leak exp. valve (replace under warranty) and improper set up on recirc. fan motor speed board. The unit has easily exceeded all performance expectations. It reduced summer bills by 20-30 $ per month. It runs mostly in the 1st stage (about 60% capacity). The winter performance is excellent due to the two stage heating. Now on to some comments about the other opinions that are in this review thread. Lennox makes very few of the major components which make up their equipment outside of sheet metal and coils. All manufactures that use scroll compressors have only one source - Copeland. All valves and other components come from various manufactures. Herein lies the problem for Lennox (and others). Lennox, Trane and all others buy the these components from many different manufactures. They are always changing from one to another looking for the lowest price. All AC manufactures go thru cycle of changing suppliers for things and suffer the consequences of the cheapest piece of junk and then paying with negative threads like this one. It may be likely that Trane, Lennox and others may use the same exp valve. within the same year you may find that any one of the same manufactures may switch exp valves or reversing valve suppliers. On the use of suction accumlator. I believe that many AC manufactures that use scroll comps overestimate the slugging capability of this comp. Many manufactures avoid their use since the scroll if far more (claimed) forgiving to slugging. There was one responder who claimed his model did not use hi or lo pressure switches. I have seen this from all manufactures at different years. This is serious omission in my view. More comments on the installation experience. I had two guys, one on furnace/expansion coil change and one on condensing unit. The guy on the furnace change out was old experience hand and the kid on condensing unit was very green. I had to mentor him thru running gas lines and brazing technique. I had to lend him my googles when he brazed! Since there was significant extra tubing run, I calculated extra gas over what was stored in the compressor. They did not agree with this. However this was corrected upon repair of the previously mention gas leak at later date. The satisfaction index is really dependent on installation for a split unit. I am a satisfied customer and will consider another Lennox

"No problems"
Our house had a Lennox heat pump when we bought it that was more than 20 years old. It had not needed repair but we replaced it due to age. The current Lennox is about 13-14 and has been serviced but never has needed repair. It has held up to the Arizona heat quite well! I will probably buy another Lennox next time!

"Nineteen Arizona Summers"
Over nineteen summers of Arizona heat, I have needed only three service calls. The first related to a poor installation job. The remaining two involved replacement of parts. I have a five ton two stage compressor which has never failed. My only complaint is the high cost of failed components. I am planning to replace the unit this Fall, only because of age and I can't find anyone who knows how to work on such an old unit.

"Reliable Heat Pump"
My hpxa19-036 heat pump has been everything I expected from a top of the line heat pump. No troubles. It's matched up with a top of the line air handler w/ a variable speed blower. My father & uncle both own the same model indoor/outdoor units as well, installed by the same dealer and their units have given them zero trouble. All three of us service our units twice a year as well. For those who have had expansion valve failures, there has been a higher failure rate industry wide the last few years, not just Lennox. You could have bought a Trane and had the same problem. Studies I have seen prove the better the dealer sticks to recommended installation procedures (purging nitrogen while soldering), the lower percentage failure rate. So choose your dealer wisely.

"Bad Reviews on Lennox"
I know there are some consumers on here that have had problems and I sell all brands for the most part but I sell more Lennox than anything. I will say after reading a bunch, it seems the people who put your equipment may be the problem. I read where they put wrong size equipment, installed improperly etc. I'm not saying that parts do not fail but installers who are not properly trained or don't care enough about their work can not be the fault of equipment. Also what has the sales rep done for you? Did he try to help the situation or did you call them? I personally go above and beyond for all my customers and if they did, maybe they could get something done for you. A major problem I see is that people are not checking the return sizing and supply sizing so the equipment is set up for failure right from the beginning. I have been in customers housed where the sales rep did not even come in the house to look at duct work and he tells customer she needs a bigger system, and one rep told her a 4 1/2 ton which is not even produced. Give me a break, this a major problem and can become your problem. If any of you on here have a problem or question, feel free to email me and I will return phone calls or emails as time allows to try to help. I am a Lennox Premier Dealer.

"XP 15 with lots of problems"
I purchased a "Top of the Line" xp 15 Series unit 2.5 tonnes in August 2007. Since that time, I have had a technician at my home 4 times. Every time the season changes, there is a problem. Have spent almost $1700 on a product that cost me $7000 installed. Consumer affairs in Texas is of no help, if you can stand calling a long distance number and being on wait for 30 minutes. Their "premier service" provider in Montreal called Guaranteed Industries did nothing to champion my cause. It appears from the bills that there are lots of expansion valves being changed and now it is the ambient temperature sensor. All in all a very poor quality.

Modest increase in Norway's assets and liabilities
Norway's net foreign assets increased from NOK 2 268 billion in 2010 to NOK 2 590 billion in 2011. This amounted to 95 per cent of GDP at the end of 2011, and 90 per cent at the end of 2010.
Modest increase in Norway's assets and liabilities
Norway's foreign assets equalled NOK 7 293 billion at the end of 2011. This corresponds to an increase of 6 per cent from 2010. Norway's portfolio investment abroad was equal to NOK 4 452 billion at the end of 2011, and amounted to 61 per cent of Norway's total assets abroad.
Total liabilities were equal to NOK 4 703 billion at the end of 2011, which corresponds to an increase of 2 per cent from 2010. Portfolio investment from abroad totalled NOK 2 037 billion at the end of 2011, which corresponds to 43 per cent of total investment in Norway from abroad.
About International Investment PositionThe International Investment Position (IIP) is the balance sheet of the stock of external financial assets and liabilities. IIP was introduced in the mid 1990s by the International Monetary Fund and is one of several statistics aimed at improving the quality and availability of international economic statistics. The IIP statistics are based on the same principles and definitions as the balance of payments' (BoP) financial account. This means that changes in the stock of IIP shall, in principle, be consistent with the transactions, valuation changes and other adjustments in the balance of payments' financial account. Nevertheless, some use of different sources and production processes may entail deviations between the two statistics. IIP is primarily classified by function, i.e. direct investment, portfolio investment, other investment and reserve assets. IIP and BoP use the directional principle for claims/liabilities that are direct investments between groups of companies (international concerns), which means claims/liabilities are netted in the IIP and BoP balance sheet. |

Well if he's unknown, you wont have any idea of their tendencies pre flop either. And if he's unknown, you wont have the sort of history/dynamic where he is going to be 5bet jam bluffing A-rag type hands either. So he will usually fold his 3bet bluffs or worse 3bet value hands like KQ/KJ, or you will be flipping or crushed when you get it in, meaning he plays pretty perfectly.
If he starts to think our 4bet range is extremely polarized and is likely to 5bet bluff, then why can't we depolarize it and start 4betting thinner for value?
this is basically the same as flatting sometimes when u have good reasons and not random ones.. more or less adjusting. Every time u flop nothing with no info its gonna be tricky even IP.. getting AK in is fine for ur range and likely profitable vs most regs in a steal position and takes a lot of the guess work out. I dont recommend avoiding tuff decisions just for the sake of not wanting to be put in a tuff spot, but when its fine for ur range and likely profitable I am def ok with it. Especially when u can flat at a better time with more info when ever you wish.

The Fifth District Report
Ellison at Odds with President Obama Over Fiscal Cliff Plan
The Minnesota Congressman took issue with $400 billion in proposed entitlement cuts to programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) is at odds with President Barack Obama over proposed cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security to help pull the U.S. economy back from the "fiscal cliff." With less than a month to go before the economy teeters over the edge of that "fiscal cliff"—a term used to describe the quandry the U.S. government faces at the end of 2012, when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 will go into effect—the White House offered up a deal last week estimated to produce $1.2 trillion in new tax revenue and make $400 billion in entitlement cuts to programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security over the next decade. Ellison was critical of the proposed changes to the aforementioned programs, saying progressive …
11:55 am on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Odd to see Ellison not licking his master's boots. Well, I guess even the most faithful dog can bite from time to time. Odd too is that he voted for ObamaCare which bloated the deficit even farther.   more ›

Thorlabs' cemented Achromatic Doublets are computer optimized to provide excellent performance in the visible region. Our design for the achromatic doublets uses the helium "d" line (587.6 nm, yellow) and the hydrogen "F" (486.1 nm, blue/green) and "C" (656.3 nm, red) lines since these wavelengths reasonably represent the visible spectrum and are used to define the Abbe Number, V, of a material.
Achromatic doublets are useful for controlling chromatic aberration and are frequently used to achieve a diffraction limited spot when using a monochromatic source like a laser.
For best performance when collimating a point source with a positive focal length doublet, generally the first air-to-glass interface should have the greater radius of curvature (i.e., the flatter surface). Conversely, when focusing a collimated beam, the air to glass interface with the shorter radius of curvature (i.e., the more steeply curved surface) should face the incoming beam. When using a negative focal length achromatic doublet to diverge a collimated beam, the concave air-to-glass interface should face the collimated source.

Al Kaline, Dennis Eckersley and Mike Schmidt have a few things in common. One, they are all members of baseball's Hall of Fame. Two, they are all glad no one was elected to join them this year.
"I'm kind of glad that nobody got in this year," former Detroit Tigers outfielder Kaline told the Detroit Free Press. "I feel honored to be in the Hall of Fame. And I would've felt a little uneasy sitting up there on the stage, listening to some of these new guys talk about how great they were."
All-time home run leader Barry Bonds received just 36.2% of the vote and pitcher Roger Clemens 37.6% in results announced Wednesday. People on the ballot need at least 75% of the vote to be elected. Voting is conducted by eligible members of the Baseball Writers' Assn. of America.
"What really gets me is seeing how some of these players associated with drugs have jumped over many of the greats in our game," Kaline said. "Numbers mean a lot in baseball, maybe more so than in any other sport. And going back to Babe Ruth, and players like Harmon Killebrew and Frank Robinson and Willie Mays, seeing people jump over them with 600, 700 home runs, I don't like to see that.
"I don't know how great some of these players up for election would've been without drugs. But to me, it's cheating," he added. "Numbers are important, but so is integrity and character. Some of these guys might get in someday. But for a year or two, I'm glad they didn't."
Former Phillies third baseman Schmidt agrees.
"It's not news that Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, Palmeiro, and McGwire didn't get in, but that they received hardly any consideration at all. The real news is that Biggio and Piazza were well under the 75% needed," Schmidt said, referring to Craig Biggio and Mike Piazza, two players never linked to steroids who nevertheless fell short of election.
"Curt Schilling made a good point, everyone was guilty. Either you used PEDs, or you did nothing to stop their use. This generation got rich. Seems there was a price to pay."
And Eckersley tweeted his support of the results late Wednesday.
"Wow! Baseball writers make a statement. Feels right," Eckersley tweeted.
But Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal disagrees.
"I think that they have been unfair to guys who were never found guilty of anything," Marichal said. "Their stats define them as immortals. That's the reality and that cannot be denied. What we're witnessing here is innocent people paying for the sinners."
