Danica finished 13th, not 19th.
Danica finished 13th not 19th. Don't understand your cause for reporting and writing the negative about an qualified NASCAR driver?
Why is this news?
Jonathan-do you ever watch these races? 19th? Ben T is too stupid to read-TOP FEMALE DRIVER!!
Good race-Look forward to next year-
maybe he fell asleep and some no one called him and was told she finished 19th. duh huh!
The hate you dummys spread is sad. You idiots couldnt race a bIg wheel so you hate on a women driver whi is obviously talented
she 10th out of a average of 42 drivers on any given weekend thats pretty good for anybody to finish. Ben if it was your mom you would be proud so give her her props.
I hope she kicks jazz next year I'll be pulling for her after Jr that is
Ditto David , she should also put one of her smokin hot bikini shots on her bumper and know one would ever pass her !!
Driver points in the Nationwide Series are a joke because they're diluted by part-time starters from the Truck and Sprint Cup Series who don't earn any points. She may have finished 10th in the driver standings, but she finished 17th in car owner points – where her performance is measured against the other cars (regardless of who's driving).
she is a tool teams use because she sells t-shirts her average finish was 19th, only completed 91% of the laps in 2012, and only 17 finishes on the lead lap in 2012. she might be a nice lady but she has a job because she brings a sponsor and looks great in a string bikini. in her 3 year career she has 57starts with 12 top tens and only 1 top five. these are the stats like them or not, and keep in mind she runs the BEST equipment. she is not ready for sprint cup.

I want to order. But DHL shipping cost to Thailand is higher than the item. Do you have alternate shipping ? (Ex. USPS).
Hello Anuwat,
We have had in the past an unacceptably high number of "lost in the post" deliveries to Thailand, so we removed the regular AirMail option.
If you understand the risks and wish to proceed anyway, we will enable the less expensive AirMail option for individual customers. Contact email@example.com if you wish to proceed with that option.
I E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com 2 times. But no response.
We're sorry that you had to email us twice, the reason why is that the correct email address is email@example.com and not firstname.lastname@example.com. You should have received a reply by now, but please let us know if you have not received it.
/Evelina, Yubico

SPOKANE -- Personal letters could help determine the sentence of former Spokane Police Officer Karl Thompson.
Thompson was convicted last year of using excessive force against Otto Zehm and then lying about it. Zehm died days later
This week federal prosecutors filed victim impact statements written by Zehm's family and friends. A federal judge will likely consider the letters before sentencing Thompson next month.
In one letter, a relative discussed the pain Zehm's mother Anna continues to experience following her son's death.
She has said that it is difficult to talk to others in discussing Otto's death. Tears continue to appear in her eyes. Otto's death has created a fear in Anna towards the police department, the letter read.
Anna has said that the most painful part of Otto's death is that his death could have been prevented. Anna has desperately wished that those involved would tell her that they are sorry.
Otto's cousin Dale Zehm wrote the following: I want Karl Thompson to be held accountable for his actions. I never want this to happen to anyone else ever again. It has been almost six years and we need to let our healing begin.
One of Otto's work acquaintances wrote: The Otto I experienced going about his work and greeting others in the hall was serene and always in a good mood.
KREM 2 News attempted to contact Thompson's attorney to see if any letters will be submitted on his behalf, but did not hear back Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors are asking for a sentence of nine to 11 years in prison for Thompson. The defense is asking for two years.
Thompson's sentencing date is set for November 15th.

It's a blonde. I usually don't draw blondes.
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 6, 2010
Again, well done
I think you're going to be one of those artists to follow. I just love the way you draw, with your grunge effect and thicker lines. And those eyes are wonderful, simple, yet prominent. Amazing work yet again! :P
Aww I'm glad you think so highly of me :)
Thank you very very much!
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 5, 2010
the tone of the background goes really well with the hair and skin tone. And i really like the shadow marks on far parts of her face. Another excellent draw :)
Thank youu! You're the bessssssst :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 4, 2010
Very nice, digging the full lips and those deep eyes, as well as the gritty style of the art. Keep it up!
Thank you sooo much!
I will keep it up :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars May 4, 2010
I love this close-up
That, and the texture and the colors makes a really powerful image.
Looks like I'm not going to forget this picture anytime soon...
Aw thanks for the awesome review! I'm flattered :3
Rated 4 / 5 stars May 4, 2010
She has a secret?
I'm blonde, therefore I like. Just kidding. I really like her face. Like she knows something, but she's not telling.
Maybe she does have a secret. Maybe her secret is that she actually isn't even really blonde! :O
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

Supermarkets misleading consumers with copycat own-labels
Consumers feel "annoyed" and "misled" by own label brands that imitate established brands, according to a report by Which?, the latest in the ongoing battle over copycat brands that comes as own-labels could face tighter controls from European regulators.
The report found most major brands have a "recognisable" own-label equivalent in most of the major supermarkets and a fifth of consumers surveyed had bought an imitation brand by mistake.
Of those, 38 per cent of consumers felt mislead and 30 per cent felt annoyed by retailers for selling the products.
All the major supermarkets as well as discounters Aldi and Lidl were found to offer own-label products that closely resembled branded goods. Boots and Superdrug were also named in the report as having own brands that imitate established brands.
In the Which? study almost half (43 per cent) of consumers surveyed wrongly identified Aldi's cream crackers as the branded product, rather than the genuine Jacob's brand, and more than a third of respondents mistakenly identified at least one of the own-label products as the branded version.
The Which? report states: "Own-label equivalent products can be a good thing … but some products walk a fine line between suggesting a similarity with an established brand and confusing consumers to the point where they end up buying the wrong item by accident."
A high profile copycat case in 2009 involved Sainsbury's and Diageo over the supermarket's fruit cocktail drink Pitchers, which Diageo claimed was too similar to its own drinks brand Pimms. The two parties settled and Salisbury's agreed to change its packaging.
Under UK laws it is difficult for established brands to bring action against copycats, relying on "passing off" rules which require the brand to prove the copycat is trying to0make consumers think it is the branded product. Brands can also turn to Trading Standards to enforce Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading regulations, but this also requires a brand to prove there has been deliberate intent to mislead consumers.
In March the European Commission announced its intention to tighten up EU-wide regulations under the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD), including so called copy-cat brands.
In its report, in reference to copycat products, The EC stated: "The problem has affected countries where the remedies against unfair competition appear not to be satisfactory and competitors regard the UCPD as a possible tool for starting legal action … The Commission will support stronger enforcement action on this matter whenever the practices at issue mislead consumers."
Readers' comments (6)
I'm one of the consumers with the oppositive opinion. I love when retailers have an own label product that visually represents a branded product. It makes it easier to identify that product to make purchases of very similar quality but generally at a reduced cost. It's easier for consumers to be savvy with their money. Understandably brands won't like it because they have spent time and money building up their image, But from a consumer point of view, I all for replicas.
With the comment above; that is to assume the 'copycat' brand is of a similar quality. As a consumer I would be incredibly hacked-off if I'd picked up an OL product by accident, brought it home, and discovered to my detriment my latest purchase tasted rubbish!
As a lover of both good wine & food, I think it is completely wrong that retailers should try and copy brands that have invested and built markets and then to 'ride on the brands backs'. From my experience few retailers ever really invest in their 'venture' brands or indeed in the brand/market development, they just seem to be in it for a 'quick buck'. With all of the current problems around high streets & hypermarkets, the multiples should stick to being 'shopkeepers' and not try and play category brands!
Surely you might be slightly angry if you were duped, paid the same price and got an inferior product. If the product was cheaper and inferior then you would put it down to experience and consider the options next time. However, if it was comparable in quality and a lower price then you will feel like a winner. In any situation I can't imagine getting "incredibly hacked off" and feeling in anyway it was down to my "detriment" and if I did I would consider joining an amateur dramatics society and burn off my drama queen antics.
In the USA I have discovered that chains here develop their own unique branding for all of their 'own' range, and then actually tell you on the label which Main stream and established product to compare it to.
I work in a grocery store that offers products which imitate national brand packaging and I don't see it as wrong. It's helpful to those people who want to purchase a similar item at a lower cost. As for the people who 'mistakenly' pick up the wrong item, put the blame on yourself, get and education and LEARN TO READ. Too many people want to blame everyone else in today's society. Put the blame of stupidity back where it belongs.

1. Scope
1.1 This guide covers general test methods for the chemical, biocompatibility, mechanical, and preclinical assessments of implantable devices with metal-on-metal or ceramics-on-ceramics articulation intended to replace a hip joint. This guide covers only total hip arthroplasty devices with stems that extend or fix within the intermedullarycanal. Such devices shall have articulating components manufactured from cobalt-28 % chromium-6 % molybdenum (Co28Cr6Mo) alloy (Specifications F75, F799, or F1537) or high-purity alumina (ISO 6474-1) or alumina matrix composite ceramics (ISO 6474-2). This guide does not address devices manufactured from any other material. 1.2 This guide will emphasize the acetabular component and the articulating surface of both the acetabular component and the head. Acetabular components can be one single component or a modular component with a separate acetabular shell and acetabular liner. In the case of modular acetabular components, the acetabular liner will always be Co28Cr6Mo for a metal-on-metal bearing and high-purity alumina or alumina matrix composite ceramics for a ceramic-on-ceramic bearing. Modular acetabular shells shall be limited to Ti-6Al-4V (Specification F136)or Co28Cr6Mo. Acetabular components may have external coatings intended for attachment to bone cement or tissue. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

There is a difference between chili pepper and chili powder. Chili pepper consists solely of chili pods which have been dried, then powdered. Chili powder is a blend, of which ground chili pepper is used as a base (usually 80% of total volume), with the addition of spices. All of our chili powders are salt-free. For chili, start with 1 TB. (some people will use as much as 3 TB.) per quart.
|Regular Chili Powder rich flavor, deep color and very little heat
|Medium Hot Chili Powder our most popular chili powder, good rich flavor that's not too hot
|Hot Chili Powder this is the best powder for those who like their chili hot and flavorful
|Chili Con Carne Seasoning spicy flavor, but no heat, a great way to give a chili flavor to other dishes

NLHE > Mid Stakes > The Modern LAG: Limping the SB (Part 1)
Trouble playing the video? Be sure you have Flash installed.
DescriptionSean produces the first of a two part series involving the breakdown of playing the SB at 6-max NL when it's been folded around. Traditionally, this has been a situation where the best players employ a raising strategy. However, recently its been more common to encounter good players limping their SB and Sean goes into great detail to compare and contrast the two strategies.
Raphael Cerpedes
You dont take into account the fact that the SB can counteradjust and 4-bet a lot vs a wide 3-betting range which is not easy do deal with when ure sitting in the BB with K2o type stuff trying to exploit a SB opening too wide. And when in the BB you turn it into a preflop raising war you effectively negate your positionnal advantage. The whole BvB exploitation game is not as easy as you make it look like.
Also a small technical detail: if you think that your opponent is limping only weak hands then straight shoving 100% in the BB is maximally exploitative, yes, but certainly not GTO.posted 1 year, 3 months agojuancopani
And the BB could counteradjust by flatting 4bets, 5bet-jam lighter. You don´t gonna avoid your positional disadvantage 4betting wider.
So how would the math be for BvB limping we have 50% ev from a pot with 2bbs in it so 2*0.5*0.7? so 0.7bb/hand we make when we see the flop as R is 70%.
If we limp and get raised we lose 0.5bb/hand if lets say we fold vs a raise 100% of the time
then for limping to be 0ev bb have to raise 59%?
whats the definition of bb being exploitable vs limps?
Even tho a 100% limp way of playing bvb make your unexplo sb strategy bigger then a unexplo 100% pfr strategy (100% of the hands you play) do you Think that the bigger hands like AK AA TT etc makes so much less that rasing still might be better?
How are the players you know doing limping the hands like that vs rasing them?
If you play vs a BB that is to tight will you raise vs him or just keep limping?
posted 1 year, 3 months ago
Can you take a look at the rake at different stakes and how that will affect this strategy? I'm playing 200nl and 500nl, there is a big difference between those stakes if it comes to rake.
And what about losing value with premium hands that don't like to give away free equity? Letting opponents see free flops with hands that would have folded to a raise? And losing value with the top X% of our range in general? I could be convinced that limping hands just out of the range that we can open is profitable, but if that means I have to give away a lot of free flops with my "valuehands" that usually show a huge profit, I find it hard to believe that limping all hands we want to proceed with is better. I'm not saying I don't believe this is possible, but I'm very curious to see the next video because you'll probably go more into depth about this strategy :) I have a lot of respect for a player like Sauce and he introduced this strategy to me in the leggo video a while ago, so it probably out bests my current strategy haha.
Also, good to see you back on the theory track! I have learned a lot from your theory vids.posted 1 year, 3 months ago
Sean Lefort
Hey guys. I think I'm going to hold off and comment on questions after the 2nd (and last) part to this series because I think it will help answer a lot of the current questions. As for the rake question, its on the list of concepts for me to explore in the near future.posted 1 year, 3 months ago
Peter Jennings
this is a strategy i've been employing on and off for the last 6 or so months playing mostly 5/10 and 10/20 and i am also very interested to see some #s that take into account the % of pots that are raked and how it effects our potential WR in these situations.
i assume it must be the case that limping ~80 or so % of hands loses less in these situations than raising ~40% ... but are we able to overcome issues we run into WRT rake being a higher % of the pot?posted 1 year, 3 months ago
Uri Peleg
Hi - I wanted to ask a question about R. I'm trying to build several mathematical models and have a really hard time estimating it. Say I am UTG and get called in/out of position - the ev of playing each hand in my range varies wildly according the whether my R is 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 etc. Is there any good way to evaluate this?posted 1 year, 2 months ago
Parker Muir
Really diggin' the title "Modern LAG" haha. Look forward to Part 2.posted 1 year, 2 months ago
i think i would throw away word 'cosmic' ( and just left micro exploitative and macro exploitative as a rule ) : ) beside Love the videoposted 1 year, 1 month ago
I think you might find it interesting that almost all top HUSNG players use a mixed limp and steal range from the SB 10-25BB deep (although they are from position).posted 11 months, 3 weeks ago

I'm a little worried about my latest knife- it hasn't drawn any blood! Is it defective?
I left mine at TK59's house...I doubt I'll see it ever again
It's a nice knife. Grind is good and clean and thin at the tip and all along the edge. Medium to light weight. Profile is indeed a just like my Heiji just a touch shorter in each dimension and different grind of course. The polish is an interesting difference from the typical matte finish. I'm not a butterscotch micarta fan but this is a very nice petty. You should probably get another one while there are still some on sale, Pesky. ;)
Thanks TK! That's a great idea!
Damn, that butterscotch wenge knife looks sexy... wish I could get one. What type of carbon is it made out of? I am assuming its 52100 but just want to make sure.
Yep, 52100

Eye Spy Electric Blue at Marc by Marc Jacobs
The look at Marc by Marc was characterized by a single—but colorful—gesture, explained makeup artist Dick Page. He disregarded trends and even the palette of the collection, citing only David Bowie as a reference. "It's just a lop of color on the eye," he stated rather matter-of-factly. To create this graphic blue block, he started by applying Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Ice in a crescent shape with a brush—placing it along the lash line from inner to outer corner and filling in the lid. He followed this same pattern with a powder formula in Curacao, a shade from the Limited Edition Eye Color Bar, using a "windshield wiper" motion to lay down the pigment and diffuse the edges. "When the model is looking directly at you, I only wanted you to see a halo of color," he said. Any fallout was cleaned up before applying a light layer of foundation, and lips were left bare, save for a moisturizing balm.
Guido Palau created an equally simplistic hairstyle with a bit of rock 'n' roll edge. He started by prepping damp strands with Redken Satinwear 02, and blew the hair straight and flat to the head. To add a bend, he wrapped sections around the barrel of a curling iron—starting midlength and leaving the ends out. Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine was glossed over the top to add weight. "I wanted the hair to feel lank—not flyaway, floaty, or romantic," said Palau. After misting all over with hairspray, he tucked strands behind the ears and wrapped a silk scarf around the neck (a technique we saw earlier in the week at Thakoon) to add back a bit of "natural movement." And while some of the girls had a black or cream scarf incorporated into their looks on the runway, "as if they had caught their hair in it," he explained, the accessory was removed from the rest of the models before hitting the catwalk.
If you were wondering what shade was slicked on nails, it was Jacobs' favorite color, of course: Shiny (i.e., clear).—Amber Kallor

Why Do Women Stay?
The following is from a paper entitled Reasons Women Might Remain in a Violent Relationship by Dr. Irene Frieze, 1978. We have modified the order of factors but the content is the same.
Situational Factors:
1. Financial dependence on her abuser so that she will have difficulty finding a place to go. This is a special problem if combined with other reasons below.
2. Lack of social support so that she has no friends or family who can or will help her physically leave and/or deal with attitudinal barriers.
3. Lack of support from societal institutions. Until the institution of Women's Centers, there was frequently no social agency which would help the battered woman.
4. Fear of more severe physical attack from her abuser if she tries to leave or of harm to her children. He may create these feelings through direct threats.
Attitudinal Factors:
5. Belief that she is the cause of the violence. Her abuser is punishing her for her inability to act properly. Such beliefs also imply that leaving one relationship would be useless since a new man would also tend to physically abuse her.
6. Belief that the violence is temporary and/or caused by unusual circumstances. Hope that the violence will soon stop. This is especially likely after only one or two violence incidents.
7. Belief that she should understand her attacker and help him to stop his violence. This would be part of the wifely role. Her inability to help him may indicate to her that she is failing in her role.
8. Belief that all men are violent. This is reinforced by growing up in a culture in which physical aggressiveness is considered manly. It may come from being raised by violent parents.
9. Feelings of personal incompetence where she feels that she needs her man, even though he is violent, to get by in the world. Such feelings might be especially strong if combined with #6 or #7.
Of course any of these factors, when combined, make the obstacles to leaving even greater. These factors listed above are the major and most common factors, yet reasons for staying are probably as varied as relationship themselves. One question we need to ask next is WHY DO MEN BATTER?

CafeMom has started a new series featuring a same-sex family. In this week's introductory episode, 8-year-old Mya introduces Mama (Lisa) and Mommy (Laura), and they share some background about their family. Lisa explains that they chose an anonymous sperm donor, because according to the Florida adoption laws at the time, a known donor would have had more rights over Mya than she would. There will be more episodes released every Wednesday to show just how typical and loving this beautiful family is. Watch the first episode:

Planning your theme park vacation: Step 6 - Saving money inside the park
Written by Robert Niles
Okay, we've started setting money aside, decided where to go, set up a system to track our expenses, checked prices online, weighed the benefits of staying on-site or off, and looked up the latest deals at the top parks.Tweet
How else can we save money on a theme park vacation?
Easily. By watching what we spend while inside the park.
Think about the ways that your diligently saved cash can evaporate inside a theme park. Forget the sunscreen? That's $20. Headache? Another $10 for a handful of pain pills. Drinks can cost $3 a serving. Scrape a knee? You can get a free bandage at first aid, but only after you waste an hour of your day waiting around and filling out accident forms.
And heaven forbid you parents run out of diapers. Notice that I haven't begun to talk about food or souvenirs yet?
So, yeah, you have plenty of opportunities to save while inside a theme park. Here's my Golden Rule for in-park vacation savings:
Never buy anything inside a theme park that you can buy outside the park.
You can get sunscreen, pain relievers, bandages, baby supplies and a refillable water bottle at home for a fraction of the cost you'd pay inside the park. So do. Bring a stash of waterproof, reseal-able plastic baggies, too. While digital cameras have eliminated the need for you to stock up on film before you enter the park, having those waterproof baggies will come in handy in keeping that digital camera and your cell phone dry when you ride on a flume or any other water ride.
So what about food and souvenirs? The same rule applies: Never buy anything inside a theme park that you can buy outside the park.
I'm not one to urge you to forgo lunch and live on a stash of energy bars or sandwiches that you smuggled through the front gate. This is your vacation, and you should enjoy it. And part of that enjoyment is eating well.
But the point of this series is to show you ways to get the best value for your money. What pay theme park prices for the same food-court pizza and character T-shirt you can buy at the mall for less?
Instead, spend your money on unique experiences, at restaurants you can't visit anywhere but the park and for souvenirs you won't find anywhere else. Browse Theme Park Insider's park listings for highly-rated restaurants that serve something you don't eat every week. Keep your eyes open for unique souvenirs that you love and can afford with the money you've set aside before you arrived. (As we mentioned in week one, pay for nothing with credit, and you won't be stuck paying for your trip for weeks and years to come.)
Perhaps if more guests insisted on unique food and souvenir items, we'd see less mall fare and more original selections from parks in the future, too.
When you order your food, save money by watching how much you order. Get something from the kids' menu or split an entree with someone else. Go for one unique, filling snack instead of a full meal. (Fish and chips or a turkey leg should easily do for lunch or dinner. Heck, two people could split one of those turkey legs.) Don't get light in the wallet and fat in the waist by ordering full meals for all at every opportunity. Most folks can get by on far less than they eat on a typical theme park visit.
Hitting that water bottle frequently can help. Often, when you body cries for nourishment in the middle of the day, it craves water more than food. Refill your bottle with water at self-serve beverage stations or fountains throughout the park. Staying well hydrated, and well-covered in sunscreen, also will help you avid the heat exhaustion and sunburn that are the top health and safety problem affecting theme park visitors.
Again, it's all about value. When you start to open your wallet inside a theme park, think:
Is this the same thing that I could buy for less outside the park?
Is this worth the money I'm spending, or can I get by with less... or without it?
When you start asking those questions, you'll be thinking before you spend. And that's the best way to save money, inside a theme park or out.
Readers' Opinions
From Darren Fuller on January 15, 2009 at 4:45 PM
These are all great tips but i think that (with WDW trips at least) I would rather scrimp and save at home so that i can splurge when at the parks.
I want the expensive snacks, the stupid t-shirt, the snowglobe, some Christmas tree ornaments, another Mickey watch, pins pins and more pins...
afterall, I don't get to go very often so when i am there, i want to whoop it up and i consider excessive shopping to be an integral part of the experience..
I am leaving on Saturday for my first trip to Orlando in 3 years and i can tell you, i am going to break the bank!
From Deidre Dennis on January 15, 2009 at 5:27 PM
I agree. I know we're talking about ways to save money inside the parks, but I really like buying the stuff inside the parks, too. It's all part of the experience, so I don't mind tightening things up before I go so I can splurge later.
From Robert Niles on January 15, 2009 at 6:11 PM
Like, I said, it's all about value. Save your money in advance and spend it on the stuff that you want - stuff that provides a unique, valuable experience for you.
Only you can decide what that is, for you, so you've got to think about it.
From Robert Niles on January 15, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Holiday World just responded on our Theme Park Insider Twitter feed that it doesn't charge for soft drinks, and provides free sunscreen in its waterpark and next to its Indian River ride.
So, score one for bargain hunters who visit Holiday World!
From James Rao on January 15, 2009 at 8:33 PM
The point about searching for unique experiences is a good one. Do your research ahead of time and note a few places you would like to eat, or shops you would like to visit, then figure up how much $$$ you'll need for those places and save your money ahead of time. Then, if possible, save a few extra bucks so you can feel footloose and fancy free when buying that unplanned trinket or snack.
Another thing about a restaurant focused resort like WDW, it is okay to book reservations at a sit down restaurant and just get appetizers or dessert. For example, maybe you just want to try the Cheddar Cheese soup at Le Cellier...well, by all means get a reservation and do just that. Order the soup, pay your bill, then head out and get a less expensive dinner elsewhere. Same thing with desserts. A perfect example is the Sci Fi Dine In Theater restaurant: that place has the worst food in WDW at tremendously high prices, but the atmosphere is outstanding. So, make reservations for dessert but eat your meal somewhere else.
Robert, the one point you made that cannot be stressed enough: share meals! When my family of five stayed at the Royal Pacific Resort at USF, we split dinners at every Citywalk restaurant we attended. For example, NBA City has huge portions, enough to feed 7-foot tall NBA centers. So, we ordered an appetizer, a dinner salad, an entree, and a dessert. It cost about $50 with tax and tip, but was more than enough food for the whole family! If we would have ordered separately the bill would have been over $100 and there would have been a ton of food left on the table. So, share meals! Then when you hit the unique dining experiences, like Mythos or Raglan Road, you have the extra cash to let everyone just go hog wild! (Pun intended).
One side note: I went to Holiday World last year, and in addition to the free soda and free sunscreen, you get free parking! Not to mention you get to ride The Voyage which is quite possibly the best wooden roller coaster in the world!! Kudos to the small parks and their family-oriented ways!!!
From Mark Hollamon on January 16, 2009 at 6:34 AM
Food is part of the vacation experience. Much of the food at Disney is world class and the ambiance of the restaurants is incredible.
I definitely agree to eat lighter overall. When you are on vacation your body is thrown in turmoil because you are out of a normal routine. If you eat heavy, rich meals three times a day you are most likely not going to feel well. THAT would hamper your vacation plans!
Review the park you are going to and make meal plans ahead of time. Make reservations whenever possible. That also saves time and while on vacation time is money! There's nothing worse than bouncing around every country in Epcot looking for a place to eat at lunch and getting turned away several times before finding an opening.
While I agree that you should try to make smart, calculated purchases on things, skimping could end up making for a bad trip and that could be a bigger waste of $ than spending more than you planned for.
For example, much of the "Disney" souvenirs you can purchase outside of the parks in Fl on I-Drive or 192 are knock off junk. Poor quality and in the end probably more of an expense than getting a shirt in the parks.
The one big idea that I embrace here is making sure you are well prepared when you get to the parks. Bring pain relievers, sunscreen,ziplock bags, etc. Go to a local store and buy rain ponchos. They are only a $1 outside the park. I can live with a clear one that doesn't have a Mickey on it! Also, when riding water rides it is a good idea to bring another set of clothes with you. Fast dry shorts are a great thing on a Florida vacation!

Volgograd Bombings: 'Bandar's terror message to Russia's position on Syria' [James Cotbett @ RT]

Many are speculating that the terror attacks in Volgograd were specifically planned to target Russia ahead of the upcoming Winter Games in Sochi. It's not the first terror attack that's been linked to Olympic events. Back in July 2005, a series of suicide attacks hit London, a day after it won the chance to host the Olympics. For more on this I can talk to James Corbett, editor of the independent news website The Corbett Report. Read More: http://on.rt.com/z22bcf Live Updates: http://on.rt.com/87ixo9

I started a second account for this promotion and the first character I leveled was a hunter, a class I had never had about level 23 gaining regular xp. I had absolutely no trouble learning how to play the class. I am currently leveling a paladin, another class I never got very high, and again am having no problems learning how to play. If anything it has been easier for me to learn. I would say that if anything, it has helped me learn the class better, since I have grouped for the vast majority of my leveling instead of soloing most of the time. Not only do I learn the basics of my class, but I learn what my role should be in a group setting.

How Abstinence-Only Programs Perpetuate Dangerous Stereotypes
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
I'm fighting a losing battle right now. My enemy is dead, or if you are to believe the rumors cryogenically frozen, but in some ways he seems to have more influence over my three-year old daughter than I do. We're in the princess phase that seems to have been mandated, if not by Walt Disney himself, than by his brilliant and powerful marketing machine.
I am trying to teach my daughter to be an independent thinker and have aspirations that go far beyond being pretty. She wants dresses that go all the way to the floor. I want her to understand that women are able to do anything they want to and that there is more to life than finding a man.She wants to twirl.
The other day we watched Little Mermaid, a movie I had once thought I liked, but seeing it through my daughter's eyes, I was horrified. If you strip away the upbeat music, the scary octopus queen, and the Rastafarian crab, the message of this movie is that if you're pretty and don't say too much, you can get a prince to fall in love with you (because, after all, landing the prince is your ultimate goal).
The thing is, if abstinence-only-until-marriage programs have their way, all of our daughters are going to learn awfully similar messages in school. This year, SIECUS reviewed the entire Choosing the Best series which includes Choosing the Best WAY, PATH, LIFE, JOURNEY, and SOUL MATE. This series, written by Bruce Cook, founder of Choosing the Best, Inc. and a leader in the abstinence-only-until-marriage industry, remains quite popular around the country.These programs hold marriage (though not necessarily to a prince) out as the ultimate goal and are littered with age-old gender stereotypes that might even make old Walt wince.
Choosing the Best WAY, which is for sixth grader, starts by saying "guys and girls are really different. That's one reason why it's so hard to understand the opposite sex."To illustrate this, the teacher is supposed to ask students first to hold three to four books and then to look at their fingernails. The teacher then explains, "…guys usually carry their books down by their sides. Girls usually cradle their books in their arms… guys usually look at their fingernails with their fingers curled toward the palm. Girls usually look at their nails by holding their hands outstretched in front of them."
The activity then divides the class by gender and asks each group to answer questions such as: "Why do guys act silly and clam up around a girl? Why do guys pay so much attention to the way a girl looks?" and "Why do girls talk on the phone so much? Why do girls talk about guys all the time? Why do girls get their feelings hurt so easily?"
The notion that men and women sure are different is at the center of best-selling books, at least one Broadway play, and pretty much all episodes of "Everybody Love Raymond." But as much as it can be mined for humor, it can also be pretty damaging.
Choosing the Best SOUL MATE, which is for juniors and seniors, prides itself on helping young people gain confidence and improve their self-esteem. Much of the program reads like a Myers/Briggs personality test or What Color is Your Parachute. Unfortunately, there are some incredibly stereotypical assumptions about what guys and girls can do.
One exercise asks young people to look at pictures which depict guys in football jerseys and a girl in a cheerleading uniform attempting to convince others of a point using a chart and a megaphone.The instructor is supposed to explain:"Look at the two pictures at the top of the page – one showing a guy who is good at getting things done and a girl who excels at relationships."It goes on to say "Our guy will do well in 'success situations' that give him a chance to plan and achieve his goal; while our girl will excel in situations that allow her to influence and interact with people."

The Tigers trounced the A's 12-to-2 last night behind the power hitting of Miguel Cabrera in the opener of a three-game series at Comerica Park. But Detroit also may have lost starting pitcher Max Scherzer for who knows how long. Scherzer left after only two innings due to shoulder fatigue although an MRI showed no structural damage. It's expected Scherzer will go a couple of days without throwing and then be re-evaluated. Darin Downs pitched 2-and-two-thirds scoreless innings in relief of Sherzer for the win. Cabrera homered twice, including a grand slam, drove in six runs and scored three times while Prince Fielder popped a two-run homer and Jhonny Peralta added a solo blast.
The Tigers remain 3 games behind the Central Division leading White Sox, who won 3-to-2 last night at Kansas City. Justin Verlander goes to the mound tonight for Detroit.
The Chicago Cubs lost 3-to-1 to the Reds last night at Wrigley Field.

Federal Way schools avoid 'worst in the nation' list
State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn has released the names of the schools deemed the worst in the nation. There are no Federal Way schools on the list.
There were 47 Washington State schools that were put on a federal list of persistently lowest achieving schools.
Neighboring district Highline did have two schools on the list: Cascade and Chinook middle schools.
Some school districts were hit pretty hard. Mount Adams and Seattle had three, Tacoma had four (Angelo Giaudrone, Hunt, Jason Lee and Stewart middle schools) and Yakima also had four.
Hardest hit was Pasco with seven schools on the list — two middle schools and five elementary schools.

A report surfaced during the Sugar Bowl that Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops could have the inside track of the Cleveland Browns job if he wanted it. Today, he was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show and Dan asked him about the Cleveland Browns job. The Youngstown native certainly did not say no or do anything to kill the story.
Bob Stoops to @dpshow re: #Browns "I never acknowledge or deny whether anyone's contacted me or not; this isn't something publicly I do..
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) January 3, 2014
..one way or the other; that's something that's always personal and no one ever knows." – Stoops on @dpshow re: #Browns rumors
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) January 3, 2014
Dan followed up with a more general question about the NFL in general. Stoops was really working his way through this answer carefully as he was saying it. Again, he did nothing to dismiss the idea.
"That's something you never know what'll come your way; in life things change from year to year, from time to time & right now I love what..
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) January 3, 2014
.I'm doing and the people I work with at Oklahoma so right now it isn't something that I'm looking to pursue but I never know down the road"
— Daryl Ruiter (@RuiterWrongFAN) January 3, 2014
Between the win against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl despite being a two score underdog and now rumors connecting him to the Browns, maybe Stoops is intersted in the NFL, but he might be angling for a pay raise as well. Given everything that happened last night, Oklahoma may do just that.

(ENDED) Outdoor Photographer for $5/year (max 3 years) [limited time]
This daily special ended... Original post after the jump...
You can get a 1-year subscription to the Outdoor Photographer print magazine delivered to your door for $5 per year at DiscountMags.com when you enter promo code 5200 in the shopping cart. You can easily test the coupon code. Add to cart, then enter the coupon code on the right side of the screen and the price will then adjust to $5 per year. You can sign up for up to three years at the $5/year rate. The promotion is also good for renewals. If you are in the middle of a long-term subscription, keep in mind that magazines typically have limits on how many years going forward you can be subscribed. Five is a common number, but I don't have per-magazine details. Also, after you add Outdoor Photographer to the shopping cart, you may see an additional offer appear, a 1-year subscription to the Popular Photography print magazine delivered to your door for $5 per year as well. Maximum three years at this rate as well. Good for new subscriptions or renewals. This can only be purchased together with an Outdoor Photographer subscription. I don't know if the Pop Photo offer appears every time, or some of the times.
This is a limited time daily promotion. I don't know the exact expiration time.
