What Are Some Meals That I Can Make in a Hotel Room?
Good Questions
Q: I am about to be living in a hotel room for the next two months with access to only a mini-fridge and microwave in my room. I'm not against going out and buying a small slow cooker or something, but I have all of my normal sized appliances in storage for the moment. What can I make to eat using what I have or eating raw?
I do not want to depend on a dining facility and eating out for all of my meals!

Editor: Some of these posts might have some good ideas for you!
Readers, what other ideas do you have for meals that can be prepped in a hotel room?
Next question?

I have used an iron to make toasted cheese sandwiches and quesadillas. Just line the ironing board with foil, top with sandwich or quesadillas makings, top with foil again and iron away. An electric wok will also work well for not only stir fries but I use mine for making soup, chili, etc. You can find small electric woks or use a small electric skillet. There is a cookbook out there with recipes on how to cook in the hotel room coffee maker but not sure I would use that for other than coffee.
I was in this same position when work forced me to live in a hotel room for 2 months at a time. The best thing I did was buy a rice cooker and blender - both fairly cheap to find. With a fridge, microwave, rice cooker and blender the options were endless. You can make a host of things in the rice cooker: pasta, nearly any time of grain (rice, quinoa, bulgur, farro, barley), oatmeal in the morning, great risotto, polenta, even cakes (see internet for that, I didn't venture there.) Near the end of cooking time on the rice cooker, I would add some vegetables, tofu, fish or chicken to steam. The blender made sauces and any dips I needed - it is easy to make pesto, tomato sauce (basil, can of tomatoes, salt, pepper, little sugar, garlic - then heat in microwave), salad dressing, hummus (pair with tabbouleh - with bulgur made in the rice cooker), and spreads for sandwiches (like a roasted red pepper one with jarred peppers, hot sauce, garlic, greek yogurt or mayo, lemon juice). You can even steam veg in the rice cooker then blend with stock for a pureed soup. Garnish the soup with some grains and steamed chicken for a little substance.
I don't like salads, but salad bars are great resources for a hot meal too. I do this at work. Load up on cookable things, like spinach, mushrooms, onions, sliced chicken breast (the time in the microwave doesn't seem to make it overcooked). Add a splash of olive oil, salt & pepper. Back at your room, microwave it on high for 2-3 minutes.
You might want to get your own cheap coffee making for this, but check this out http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/11/15/245442083/coffee-maker-cooking-brew-up-your-next-dinner
I would look into dorm room cooking. I had roommates that could make virtually anything in an electric hot water kettle. You can make chili, stews and Knor pasta/Lipton pasta with mixed veggies can be phenomenal out of a kettle. You can also make cold items like tuna or chicken salad with canned/pouched meats/fish and cold binders like relish, mayo etc. Also try in-room picnicking or noshing on crudités, bread & cheeses and store bought deli items a few times a week.
As someone who had a unplanned stay in a hotel for three months last year I can understand not wanting to depend on eating out for every meal. All the above tips and ideas are fantastic, having less really does cause you to become creative with your meals. I have only have three ideas to add. Take advantage of this time to check out any local farmers markets or open air markets. There are amazing amounts of fresh fruits, vegetables, and home made foods ready to eat, try something you've never heard of! Invest in a single set of silverware. It's a small thing but it helps make hotel life feel just a little more home like. Lastly, don't stop eating the things you already love just because you're trapped without your usual kitchen. With some of the creative tips already mentioned you almost definitely be able to make some favorites.
During my time living in a hotel I almost perfected some of my favorite fish dishes and curry. I took my love for tea to the next level and created My favorite cup of iced tea. Embrace the change and have fun!

I try to get at least a couple new zones with each alt but like you, I have lots of favorite areas. Duskwood for sure. Loch Modan almost all the time. Winterspring. I cherry pick a handful of quests in several areas. I also like to do all the starter zones at some point for easy rep. I also factor in mounts when I consider where to quest. Another thing that dictates where I quest is the professions that my toon has. If it is skinning, I will spend more time in a zone that features a lot of skinnable mobs.

Love eating here and the gluten free pizza tastes great!
Best GF crust in town!! Was told by a manager that almost everything can be made GF, except the meatballs!
Hideaway has always had excellent pizza and now they offer gluten free crust. The serving staff is sensitive to not mix with "regular" pizza when boxing take home. I have yet to be disappointed.
Some of the best GF pizza I've ever had!!!
Fantastic gluten free pizza!!!!
7877 E 51st St, Tulsa, OK 74145
Love the gluten free pizza!!!
577 Buchanan Ave, Norman, OK 73069
The pizza is good just too expensive
116 E 5th St, Edmond, OK 73034
it tasted awesome. I love a thin crust with veggies and sausage.
901 N Broadway Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102
Best GF (and non GF according to my family) pizza had! This is from someone who has had great pizza!
577 Buchanan Ave, Norman, OK 73069
Ordered GF pizza. Tasted great, but definitely got gluten. Made me sicker than I've been in a long time. I won't be back!
230 S Knoblock St, Stillwater, OK 74074
I found out about Hideaway gluten-free pizza crust from this app. I went and tried it out. I was extremely impressed! The waiter was very helpful and understanding, kitchen staff will clean up the kitchen right before preparing your order, and the pizza itself was divine! All the toppings are gluten-free, and there is a lot to choose from. The crust has a lot of flavor, though they only come in 10in (small). It was definitely worth it.
1419 E 15th St, Tulsa, OK 74120
Very good pizza. The crust was crispy and thin. Good salad- they were not 100% sure if the dressings were GF so I had the balsamic. I would have given 5 stars if they had dressing knowledge.
8204 S Harvard Ave, Tulsa, OK 74137
Favorite GF pizza in Tulsa!
8222 E 103rd St #130, Tulsa, OK 74133
Good GF pizza. As is to be expected, it costs more than regular pizza but it's pretty good.
1150 N 9th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012
If there was a zero star I would give it. There is nothing on the menu that is gluten free except the crust of the GF Pizza. I found this out after eating 3 slices! When we asked the manager about the pizza toppings later (because the hamburger was so spicy we thought it might me sausage) he was very rude and told us this was our fault and not the servers. He did comp my child's grilled cheese for the garlic butter she hated that was not mentioned anywhere on the menu ( and the server forgot to order this for us so it came 10 minutes late).
7549 S Olympia Ave, Tulsa, OK 74132
Some of the best gluten-free crust I have eaten!! So many different types of pie - it was hard to decide which to get. We had the Maui Magic and the Farmers Market and both were delicious. Next time we are in Tulsa, we are definitely stopping for a pizza treat. ***I can only vouch for the taste and that they have gluten-free crust. I am not severely sensitive, therefore if there was any cross-contamination I would not notice.
230 S Knoblock St, Stillwater, OK 74074
The gluten free pizza crust is good. The salads are fresh and tasty too!
901 N Broadway Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102
the pizza was amazing but there is cross contamination and I got sick from it. :/ so if you aren't super sensitive to gluten like me, then this is a great place to eat!
116 E 5th St, Edmond, OK 73034
Their gluten free is terrible.
1150 N 9th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012
way better crust than mazzios!
8204 S Harvard Ave, Tulsa, OK 74137
The gluten free pizza is great!
5501 Nw Expy, Warr Acres, OK 73132
Excellent pizza, need gf beer or cider!
5501 Nw Expy, Warr Acres, OK 73132
Love their gluten free pizza. It's a little high but I can over look that because its so darn good!
116 E 5th St, Edmond, OK 73034
Fantastic GF pizza, recommend the cimarron
5950 W Memorial Rd, Oklahoma City, OK 73142
They charge extra for the gluten-free crust and it's not a very good crust. If you're in the area the gluten-free crust at Cafe 7 or BJs Brewhouse is much better.
1419 E 15th St, Tulsa, OK 74120
Gluten free pizza is wonderful!
230 S Knoblock St, Stillwater, OK 74074
gluten free pizza is great. I never had issues after eating there.
577 Buchanan Ave, Norman, OK 73069
Decent GF pizza, but spending $15 for a small GF pizza is pricey.
6616 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Best GF pizza!!!! Love it!!! Lots of toppings choices
116 E 5th St, Edmond, OK 73034
Pizza was great!
1150 N 9th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012
Great pizza! No cross contamination. Friendly, helpful. Just wish it was a little less expensive
1150 N 9th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012
This is amazing gluten free pizza! It has a wonderful chewy texture and a good crispness on the bottom. I asked the waitress to find out the ingredients because I loved it so much. Ahe came back with the label!! ir was purchased, not made on site, nut now I have the name of their supplier and will be showing it to my hometown pizza parlor that also offers gf pizza. This is WAY much better :-)
6616 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Love the pizza. Wish they had a GF beer or two.
230 S Knoblock St, Stillwater, OK 74074
Each time I have gotten the gf pizza the staff has taken precautions to help avoid cross-contamination. Thank you. Now if we could figure out a way to get the fried mushrooms gf, I'd be elated! ;)
1150 N 9th St, Broken Arrow, OK 74012
It had been over two years since I had eaten pizza. The sausage pizza tasted great! I will order more toppings next time. PapaDon
5501 Nw Expy, Warr Acres, OK 73132
Gluten Free Pizza was fantastic. Thanks to you for thinking of people like me. I can enjoy pizza night again
5501 Nw Expy, Warr Acres, OK 73132
Very tasty GF crust! Many toppings to choose from. Fresh salad options too.
6616 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Great thin crust pizza. Only size is 12".
577 Buchanan Ave, Norman, OK 73069
gluten free crust is delicious, and wait staff are careful, cheerful, and well informed. cook staff uses special pans and seems (so far!) to know what they are doing.
116 E 5th St, Edmond, OK 73034
Excellent pizza! GF crust and lots of toppings to choose from. Best GF pizza I have had so far.
1419 E 15th St, Tulsa, OK 74120
I just learned that they have a gluten free crust and I love their pizza, I can't wait to try it

I lived in Paris for five months and had some adventures.
# despairing
# text
I turned twenty-one the other day.
Which means that it's been one year.
A year.
An entire fucking year since I went ahead and lost my heart to another country.
When I turned twenty, the skies above Paris were blue and cloudless, the air was humid as hell, and the buttons on my skirt kept coming undone. I spent the day walking around the city with my parents and freaking out about how they were about to leave me on my own for five months. The day passed much too quickly and before I knew it, my parents were saying "we'll be just a Skype call away" and my heart was stuck somewhere in the vicinity of my tonsils. I hugged them goodbye, stepped into the elevator, and burst into tears.
On the bright side, it was a good bonding experience with my new roommate.
My twenty-first birthday did not involve crying, cobblestones, or a skirt that I should probably mend because really, it's been a year. Instead it was full of new friends and, of course, alcohol. All things considered—those things being the fact that I tossed my cookies in front of my new friends and have yet to stop feeling embarrassed about it—it was a good twenty-first birthday.
But I would've killed to relive my twentieth.
I want to go back to Paris. I want to go back home, where the air either smells like cigarette smoke or urine. I want to walk on the cobblestones until I get fifty new blisters on my feet. I want to get horribly lost somewhere in the seventh arrondissement and have the locals look down their noses at me when I try to ask for directions in my stuttering French. I want to eat ten more sandwich grecs from that gyro place next to Carrefour and five more pizzas from Le coq. I want to spend an ungodly amount of money on baguettes and pastries and hot chocolate. I want to ride the metro and avoid making eye-contact with persistent creepers. I want to walk around Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower and take pains to avoid the scam artists roving around the area. I want to go to another fashion show during Fashion Week and feel entirely out of place and un-chic in the back of the crowd. I want to go back to Versailles and spend too much money on a thirty-minute boat ride on a beautiful day. I want to get lost in le Musée d'Orsay, for the third time. I want to start walking around the city only to be forced back inside because it started to pour and I forgot my umbrella. I want to discover places that I had meant to discover the first time around. I want to climb back up the Eiffel Tower and the Notre Dame so I can retake the pictures that I lost when my phone got stolen. I want to sit down in one of the parks and sketch until I get funny looks. I want to walk through le Jardin du Luxembourg because I never made it there in the entirety of my five months. I want those five months back, just so I could live them again.
I would not give the smallest crap if I wasn't legal anymore or if I had to relive the emotional whiplash of my twentieth birthday, just let me go back.

Goddamnit, I completely forgot about the bookstore.
On the one hand, I couldn't afford to travel much outside of Paris, nor did I have the time. And I'll probably never make it back to Venice or Rome.
But on the other, at least I managed to hit most every place within the city itself, not to mention London and Prague and a few other places I didn't even know I wanted to visit.
Let's call it even.
# home is the first european city that you've stayed in for an extended period of time
# home is not where you were born
# it may not even be where your loved ones are
# (although it may)
# home is where your heart fell in love with a place
# traveling
# paris
And bam, suddenly it hits you that you've been here back for more than a month. For almost two.
Soon, it'll be three, four, a year. A decade. A lifetime.
And you haven't gone back.
Gone back home.

# okay maybe not the LAST last post
# i'll probably write in from time to time about random memories and adventures
I figure I need to write one last post on this blog. Just to tie everything together.
Because that's it. That's all.
Five months of my life, gone. One moment, I'm lost in the 11e arrondissement and dead on my feet, trying not to think about how not fluent in French I was and the next, I'm here, back in Irvine. Monotonous, slow, odorless Irvine.
Help, my head is still reeling from the whiplash.
And the worst part of all of it is what didn't change: No, I'm still not fluent in French. Nope, I still have no idea where all the monuments lay in relation to the others. Nah, I didn't try escargot or frog legs. Hah no, I don't have a French boyfriend. And damnit no, I still have no idea which boulangerie has the best bread in the city.
But then again…so what? I lived in Paris for (about) five months. I climbed to the top of the Notre Dame and the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower and Montparnasse and the Sacré Coeur. I wandered and meandered and attended class all around the city, learning about the different monuments at the monuments. I stayed inside the Louvre until closing time. I got lost in le Musée d'Orsay. Twice. In the same visit. I watched the 17,388th showing of "La cantatrice chauve" in the Latin Quarter. I got the drunkest I've ever been somewhere near République and then lost my chapstick sometime before I got back to my apartment. I got hit-on on a fairly regular basis (albeit by creepy old dudes). I shopped on the Champs-Élysées. I went to Disneyland Paris and found out that the Space Mountain there is about three times better than the Space Mountain here. I dolled myself up and went to a fashion show during Fashion Week. I spent an hour inside le Musée de l'erotisme with a friend and boy, was that a bonding experience. I traveled to Aix-en-Provence, Rouen, Giverny, Normandy, Brittany, London, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. I ice skated in the Grand Palais and fell asleep in the Petit Palais. I tried French food and liked it. I spent time—much longer than I care to admit—in two of the city's most famous cemeteries, looking for the graves of Eugène Ionesco and Édith Piaf. I visited Versailles on a day with perfect weather.
I lived in Paris.
For the first time, "to live" was something more than breathing and thinking and moving around. And I don't mean that in an over-dramatic and "no one understands me i had a terrible life full of misery" kind of way; I mean that I actually felt like I was hitting every emotion that everyone that supposedly "lives it up" says you're supposed to have and I met all of my own expectations of the term as well.
I lived in Paris, I felt alive in Paris, I had the time of my life in Paris.
And I grew up as well: I actually like vegetables now (so long as they're cooked). I like seafood, too.
Still not a big sushi fan though. Shrugs.
Of course…I have regrets: I regret not going out more, not dancing more, not trying more French pastries. If only I'd stopped procrastinating, maybe I would have gone to all the places my uncle recommended to me. If only I'd planned it more, maybe I could have gone to Italy or Nice or Morocco. If only I'd put my phone in my purse, maybe that dick of a thief wouldn't've run up and grabbed it out of my hand.
But I wouldn't change any of it. (Except maybe my phone getting jacked because I'm still pissed about it.) (Although, right after it happened, a group of locals came up to me and cursed the dick out. And the lady at the information desk complimented my French on the theft form I filled out. All of that to make me smile, and they succeeded.)
I lived in Paris.
I wonder if Irvine can keep up with me now.

Who can resist a Lavender Earl Grey Cookie? We certainly couldn't! These made the perfect teatime snack for our Valentine's Day.
Recipe: Lord Grey's Peach Preserves
photo credit: Ditte Isager
It's canning season and we couldn't resist this delicious recipe for Earl Grey infused peach preserves from Bon Appétit. Peaches won't be in season much longer, preserve the sweet flavor with a hint of bergamot and enjoy on toast, as a glaze on meats or even over ice cream all year long!
5 pounds ripe peaches
4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
5 Earl Grey tea bags, divided
Of course, we recommend using any regular, organic or decaf Earl Grey from Stash Tea for this recipe!
Cut a small, shallow X in the bottom of each peach. Working in batches, blanch in a large pot of boiling water until skin loosens, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl of ice water; let cool. Peel, halve, and pit. Cut into 1/3 inch slices. Combine with sugar and juice in a large bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes.
Place a small plate in freezer. Transfer fruit mixture and 4 tea bags to a large heavy pot. Open the remaining tea bag; crumble leaves slightly; add to pot. Bring to a boil, stirring gently, and cook 15-20 minutes. Test doneness by scooping a small spoonful onto chilled plate and tilting plate. (Preserves are ready if they don't run.) Remove tea bags. Skim foam from the surface of jam. Ladle jam into 2 clean, hot 1-pint jars. Wipe rims, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Yields 2-4 pints.
Recipe: Earl Grey Chocolate Cake
photo credit: Shutterbean
Oh my! Chocolate cake with Earl Grey, now what would be better than that?
This recipe, from Shutterbean, is absolutely amazing!
We recommend using Stash Earl Grey Black Tea or Stash Double Bergamot Earl Grey Black Tea.Earl Grey Chocolate Cake
6 Earl Grey tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose Earl Grey
1 cup water
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
4 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted & cooled
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt
confectioners' sugar
Heat oven to 350° F. Coat an 8-cup fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
Brew the tea in the water 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags or strain the leaves and set the brewed tea aside.
Using a mixer, beat the butter, eggs, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Blend in the chocolate. Beat in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, yogurt, and brewed tea. Pour into pan.
Bake 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out with a few crumbs attached. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes.
Turn out of pan and cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
Serves 10.

I assume it would be generally agreed that the quality of the lense is more important than the finer points of a camera body?
Is it worth buying the Canon L series or Nikon G series lenses (I think that i have got that right) if considering camera bodies such as the EOS 60D or EOS 7D or alternatively the D7000 or D300S?
Where can you find reliable reports on the quality of individual lenses other than here?
Unfortunately I am the sort of person who researches to the point where I am incapable of making my mind up what I want and then do nothing. This time i am determined to conclude my research and buy a new camera/lense etc. Previously I used a Canon A1 and Canon T90 and recently have been using a canon G( which i actually purchased for my wife! All my lenses are obsolete i gather so am open minded about the make. I intend to do family/holiday shots plus internal room shots of our \florida villa and maybe a little wedding photography after completing one of the recognised courses to get me up to date.
Thanks. Mike
Quality lens with a moderate body will always produce a better image than a poor lens with a brilliant body. I've found these lens reviews invaluable.
I have loaned my L series lenses to friends who have budget bodies and they've had their socks blown off. If they were to stick their cheap lens on one of my expensive bodies everybody's socks would be staying on.
I shoot with the 7D and love it. It does have a little more noise than I was expecting but I can live with it. I would certainly recommend the L series lens. I have a 70-200L F2.8 mkII and the results are incredible. Since then I have started selling my other lenses and saving for more L series. In a couple of months I will be getting a 28-70mm f/2.8L USM and a 24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Hopefuly that will complete the lenses that I want and use. You wouldn't go wrong with the 60D, only reason I didn't get it is because of the rotating screen. To most this is a perk but im clumsy and can see myself breaking it.
Any questions bout the 7D, just ask. I will do the best to answer.

Lens every time. For zoom lenses I can totally recommend the Canon L series - the AF is often quicker, IS often better, the picture quality all the way to the edge is better. And the general handling is so assured. You get a beter colour rendition out of the camera but this is something that can be recereated in post processing. But having a superb quality output of a crappy picture is no substitute!
If you doubt the lens vs body debate look at this guy's portfolio. He was putting L series lenses on the original Rebel body before he upgraded to higher spec bodies : http://www.juzaphoto.com/gallery.php?l=en&id=25#002748
Having said all of that, the non-L series have developed into a very high-quality range and will be as much as most people ever need, so whether the price difference of the L-series is worth the improvement in image quality is only something you can decide.
I started by saying 'for zoom lenses...'. If you want prime lenses then you can get excellent quality with non-L series and they can often match the quality from L zooms.
Speaking as a Canon user, for 'family snapshots' I would suggest the 600D (T3i) will give you fantastic image quality and a compact body that you are more likely to take with you. The 60D is a step up in functionality (not image quality because it uses the same sensor!) but is slightly bigger. And I think the 15-85 lens would suit both those family shots and the 'interior' shots. Even if you do progress to 'L' lenses, the 15-85 will still make an excellent lens for those days you want a light, compact lens for casual shooting.
I like the cameralabs reviews: http://www.cameralabs.com/lenses/Latest_DSLR_Lens_reviews.shtml
The Nikon entry-level bodies such as the D3100 share the sensor and processing engine with their more expensive brethren. Provided you don't subject it to environmental extremes or heavy use, the D3100 will give results that are practically as good as any Nikon.
Good lenses do allow a photographer to get good shots, and with few exceptions, you do get what you pay for, Fine lenses also hold their value.
Firstly I would just like to thank all of you for your comments and the time you took to reply to my "body verses lenses" enquiry.
Chris_L: Thanks for the link to the lenses that you found helpful. Will check it out. Noted your comments about quality lenses being the priority.
Wheresjp: I have been seriously looking at the 7D and will check out the lenses that you mention.
Mikehit: Really appreciate the information and your views. The link to the portfolio made my mind up for definate what a brilliant lense can do to a cheaper camera. It blew me away what this guy achieved but I bet the lenses cost an arm and a leg! I have held the 600 body and most of the ones i think i would consider and i felt that the body was a bit small for my liking. I really like to have something which I can get a good hold of. Do you know what i mean? I know it has a great reputation and a close friend just bought it. i will check out the 15-85 you mention.
Thewilliam: I think I want to go a bit higher in price than the D3100. i did have a look at the 7000.
Out of interest what bodies do you use if you don't mind me asking.
The photographs which i want to improve upon at our Florida home by the way can be seen if you take a look at www.tuscanpines.co.uk and you will see what i mean. many guests state that the villa is far better than the photographs look on the website and we find it very frustrating!
Lose the car from the drive, open the doors and windows (looks more welcoming). Lay the table, put some food in the kitchen, colourful bottles of olive oil, colourful fruits, peppers etc.
Even a book and a pair of sunglasses on a sun lounger can make the place look more inviting. Most of the shots need some dressing, the rooms are too bare.
Choose your shooting times more carefully, on some shots the front of the house is in shade and looks uninviting.
Mikemarita, you say you want to go a bit more expensive than a D3100. Do you see high price as a virtue? Professionals like me tend to think about what the camera needs to do so that we choose an appropriate tool for the job.
Many newbies think that an expensive camera will guarantee good pix, just as buying a Steinway or Stradivarius is a cast-iron guarantee of musical virtuosity, even for a raw beginner.
As has been said, lens every time. I've always used L series, starting with the 450D then the 40D and now the 7D. Always had good results and a great believer in Canon on Canon will give the best results

Quote: I intend to do family/holiday shots plus internal room shots of our \florida villa and maybe a little wedding photography after completing one of the recognised courses to get me up to date
So your thinking about a 7D and L lenses, 7 fps with a little weather sealing and other advancements ?
I photograph and sometimes cover martial arts tournaments, my average working distance often as close as three or for feet using lensbaby`s, yet more often than not other`s use top of the range kit and work from twenty/thirty feet away with telephoto lenses, the auto focus can`t keep up or there skills are lacking.
I`ve just picked up a cheap and cheerful Panasonic G2, small and comfortable in the hands and balances well with the lensbaby`s, focusing speed is as quick as I can move my feet, head or neck
Think long and hard before splashing the cash.

Branson's joy as sound is barrier beaten by Virgin Galactic
Sir Richard was with the ground team in the Mojave Desert in New Mexico to witness what he describes as 'the single most important flight test to date' for Virgin Galactic space travel programme. Two key elements of their spaceflight system came together today. The spacecraft and its rocket motor.
Both had been extensively on their own over several years, this was the first time they'd been tested together. Sir Richard praised the work of the team working on the project to reach this milestone.

- They consume about 75 pounds of food and 10 gallons of water every day, spending 16-20 hours of the day feeding.
- Giraffes can hiss, moo, whistle, and roar.
- Their tail is 8 feet long, the longest of any land mammal.
- Giraffes are strong enough to kill a lion.
- They can gallop 31-37 miles per hour.
- A newborn baby giraffe begins walking within the first hour of it's birth. It also drops about 6 feet before hitting the ground when it is born.

A Monetary Model of a Shortage Economy
AbstractDuring the transition from centrally planned economies to market economies, many countries have experienced macroeconomic instability. This paper develops a monetary model to show how macroeconomic stability and instability can materialize in a rigidly planned economy with inherent structural imbalances and an irrational price system. The study shows that, without hardening enterprise budget constraints, wage and price liberalization may destabilize an economy and lead to persistent budget deficits and inflation. The paper also analyzes household savings and money demand in a shortage economy, clarifying the somewhat confusing concept of "monetary overhang" in the literature.

Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Maloney has issued a call for immediate education reform.
In a June 12 news release, the Morgantown businessman said students deserve education reform and that voters need to demand accountability and results from the state's schools.
"Unfortunately for West Virginia students and their parents, we aren't getting either one," Maloney said.
According to Maloney, the state's Department of Education is consuming too many resources and that funds should go to pay teacher salaries and pay for additional educational resources. He also supports adding instructional days to the school calendar. West Virginia law requires students spend 180 days in school, but many counties often fall short of that goal because of snow days and other reasons.
The news release cites rankings from a variety of sources that show West Virginia's students are falling behind. According to a commentary by Charleston attorney Charles McElwee that was published in the Charleston Gazette-Mail and cited in Maloney's release, West Virginia's average score in math for eighth grades was 273, with only one state ranking lower; West Virginia is 49th among states in preparing students for science and engineering careers; West Virginia ranks last among states in K-12 achievement, with a grade of F.
But according to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's campaign spokesman Chris Stadelman, the governor is working to improve the education system.
"Gov. Tomblin is working with educators, business people and families to improve our education system and ensure our students are prepared for the 21st century workforce," Stadelman said June 12. "Just today, Gov. Tomblin announced an innovative program that will improve opportunities for students while providing manufacturers with trained workers, and on Wednesday he will join the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce and Vision Shared to talk about strengthening our education system."
Stadelman pointed out that Maloney has said he would cut the education budget if elected. That contradicts what he is saying now.
"While Gov. Tomblin worked with Democrats and Republicans to solve OPEB and free
up more money for schools, Bill Maloney has said education is the first place
he would cut the budget and that he would reject federal education funding," Stadelman said.
"Maloney would eliminate valuable programs, force teacher layoffs, or raise your
taxes. Our students and our state deserve better than Bill Maloney."
The meeting Wednesday will be the first in a series of statewide forums to discuss an education audit with members of the community. That audit, conducted by Public Works LLC, was released earlier this year and resulted in 50 findings and recommendations that could improve student education across the state.
"With the development of new jobs and the revitalization of established industries, it is important that we work together to ensure our children receive the best education possible so that we can continue to prepare them for the demands of our growing economy," Tomblin said in a May 31 news release announcing the forums.
But those forums aren't enough for Maloney. He's calling for a special session aimed at reforming the state's education system.
"How much longer must we wait on education reform? Instead of holding campaign forums or naming donors to a task force, the governor should be calling a special session to implement the reforms outlined in this year's education audit and get more dollars in the classroom," Maloney said. "We need to 'right-size' the Department of Education and invest the savings in teacher salaries and educational resources."

Dear Satan:
You do not frighten me.
You haunt my spirit at times,
But my glory for God suffocates your wrath.
Your temptations are mere reminders of my weaknesses.
With God`s humbleness He brings me to my knees
and strengthens my wounded soul.
I welcome your evil as an avenue to prove my love for Jesus.
I challenge you!
I am a warrior of God.
I shall march over your so called angels who lure me.
You do not intimidate me.
I have God`s power burning within.

Earlier this week, Ellie Goulding debuted the music video for her contribution to the Divergent soundtrack. It's pretty much your standard clip for a YA film. Footage from the movie, specifically of Tris and Four's relationship, are interspersed with Goulding moving dramatically slow in a foggy forest. Ellie looks great as per usual. I'm kinda digging the tattoo of three birds on her chest. Check out the "Beating Heart" video below.
"The music works on a couple of different levels. On the one hand, there's music that plays environmentally. Where we landed on Ellie and a couple of other pieces is that they play more to the psychology of the character. When you see the film, Ellie's pieces speak to Tris, the Shailene Woodley character, to her subconscious and point of view." – Divergent music supervisor Randall Poster
The full lineup for the 2014 Coachella Music Festival has been revealed and it's a good one. Once again, the hugely popular music pilgrimage will be held in Indio, California over two weekends (April 11-13 and April 18-20) with the same acts playing both weekends. Last year, a hologram image of Tupac performing with Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre stole the show. I can't wait for what surprises are in store for concertgoers this year.
The biggest draw is no doubt the reunion of Andre 3000 and Big Boi better known as Outkast. The hip hop duo will headline the Friday shows. Muse and Arcade Fire receive the honor of headlining the Saturday and Sunday night shows respectively. Some of the other notable acts heading to Indio include Ellie Goulding, Lorde, Calvin Harris, Lana Del Rey, Pharrell Williams, Haim, GirlTalk, Beck, Empire of the Sun, Pet Shop Boys and Foster The People to name a few. Check out the entire roster below of amazing artists performing under the hot desert sun in April.
Ellie Goulding is starting the new year on a stunning note. The British songbird put her glam squad to work. Girlfriend looks fantastic in the video treatment for her latest single, "Goodness Gracious." Great choice going with the Nate Ruess-penned track. One of the standouts on her Halcyon Days re-issue.
Directed by Kinga Burza (Katy Perry, La Roux, Marina And The Diamonds), "Goodness Gracious" has a wicked retro pop art modern feel. It features the 27-year-old going out for a night of fun with a slick pair of glowing Nikes. Papa wants a pair. They're so sick, Ellie busts out a couple of dance moves wearing them. If I'm not mistaken, I think this is the first time we've seen a dancing Goulding. Check out the clip below.
Apparently, I'm much more skilled at predicting results for The Voice than I am at both The X Factor and American Idol. I ranked all eight performances last night and my bottom three fell in line with America's votes. And my list was written before iTunes released their overnight sales numbers.
Ellie Goulding stopped by this week to perform her UK chart-topper "Burn" with Matthew Schuler, Will Champlin and James Wolpert. Ellie jokingly stated later she now knows how it feels to be part of a boy band. The Top 8 joined forces on "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and a OneRepublic medley consisting of "Apologize" and "All The Right Moves." Cee Lo Green also got in on the action and performed "Amy" off Goodie Mob's latest album, Age Against The Machine.
As always, the most entertaining filler of the night was the confessional segment. The best moments include the contestants' impressions of the judges. The biggest revelation though was the fact Tessanne actually has a Boston accent instead of a Jamaican one. Wicked good. Enough stalling, let's get to the eliminations.
Usually when I see the word "preview" I fully expect to hear only 15 to 30 seconds worth of an upcoming track. Not so in this case. We get almost a minute and a half of Ellie Goulding's contribution to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire soundtrack. As expected, "Mirror" is an ethereal brooding track where Goulding shines. I can't wait to hear the entire thing and perhaps an accompanying video. Finger crossed on the latter.
At the beginning of the year, I fully expected the Jay-Z-curated Great Gatsby soundtrack to handily win Best Soundtrack honors at the end of the year. However, The Hunger Games sequel is giving it a run for its money with songs by Christina Aguilera, Sia, Coldplay and many more. Check out Ellie's track below.
When it comes to music, I have serious ADD. Rarely do I ever fully listen to an entire song. Just ask anyone who's been with me on a road trip. It's such a problem, I consciously make an effort to scroll the slider to the end to make sure my iTunes knows to increase the song's play count. Otherwise, most of my library would have zero plays.
Naturally, with that in mind, mashups are my audio adderall. You can listen to numerous songs without ever having to skip or fastforward a track. This latest one titled "Royal Burn" is one of the best I've listened to recently. It features Ellie Goulding, Katy Perry and Lorde. Representing for the men are Macklemore, Mike Will Made It and OneRepublic. If you like what you hear, click on the download link and follow the instructions.
During her four sold-out shows at Los Angeles' Staples Center, Taylor Swift enlisted a few of her famous friends to make appearances. Jennifer Lopez, Ellie Goulding, Sara Bareilles, Tegan & Sara and Cher Lloyd popped up on stage to perform one of their signature hits with the 23-year-old singer.
In a new behind-the-scenes look at her Red concert tour, her duet partners share their thoughts about their experience performing with the "Trouble" singer. Watch the seven-minute long clip below to hear what they say, along with the actual performances.
Ellie Goulding recently scored her first chart-topper on the UK charts. The 26-year-old English singer-songwriter paid BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge a visit this week and naturally performed "Burn." As always, all guests are required to cover a hit by another artist. Goulding picked Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors."
Typically, Ellie wows me with her acoustic covers. Perfect example being Elton John's "Your Song." It's absolute perfection. For some reason though, her take on JT's recent hit is awkward at best. Not sure if it's the arrangement that's responsible for Goulding's rushed singing, but there is something completely off about it. It's not the worst I've heard, but definitely a disappointment. Give it a listen below and see if you agree with me.

Happy Monday Everyone!
Last week Haitian American Artist, Sophia Domeville returned from San Francisco to continue The Dream Catchers Tour where she worked with Student and Faculty members atBergen Community College for their Black History Month Program!Ms. Domeville introduced her highly popular Mural Project, a creative method developed by her used to discuss images of empowerment or community activism with phrases and cut out fabric images there creating a collage mural piece by the participants.
In commemoration of the 50th year of the March on Washington, during which Martin Luther King Jr. made his famous I Have A Dream speech, participants were asked,"What did the I Have A Dream speech signify to them?"With these words, stories and images generated an amazing mural expressed through the usage of fabric.The work will be presented during the school's Black History Month gala later on this month.

2008 BMW X5Visitor, Milwaukee, WI, April 22, 2014 17:48The worst truck I have ever had. Never again. And they talk about ford.
2008 BMW X5Visitor, Monroe, NY, February 23, 2014 17:14When it's running,it's great.But when you have problems with it. Ether you know what your doing,when it comes to working on it yourself or have plenty $$$$$.
2008 BMW X5Visitor, Wethersfield, CT, February 10, 2014 11:44My x5 has been nothing but problems. It's great to drive when it's fine but it spends most of the time in the shop. Will not purchase another BMW again! Be prepared to spend a lot in repairs even if you don't go to a dealer for service. Very disappointed not to mention the lack of thought in the design. Buyer beware..
2001 BMW X5TristanReal, Willowbrook, IL, July 02, 2013 14:24First bought this X5 is very stunning good rugged looks but unlike other trucks this is elegant and stylish. Love bmw's because they never go out of style, even for an older model does not look so old. As with any car/truck common problems plauge such as Coolant reservoir, PCV system, Sway bar links, front axles, mass air flow meter to name a few. but not so bad.Journeyman
2003 BMW X5Visitor, Greenbelt, MD, October 15, 2012 06:20I pruchased a 2003 BMW X5 and just about three years later, I had to replace the transmission and now I constately getting the warnings of Stop! Engine oil pressure but the truck do have oil within and I do not know if I should continue to drive the truck or not because I do not want to cause any damage to the engine. I do keep oil in the truck just in case. But between thursday and Monday, I have put more than 5 quarts of oil in it. I am going to take it to the dealership for them to find out what is going with the truck.
2002 BMW X5cmoulton, Houston, TX, May 22, 2012 14:42If you are going to own an X5 (mine is a 2003 with 98k), you MUST find a reliable mechanic outside of a dealership. I have a guy here in Houston at a little shack who is a wizard and is honest. The dealers are absolute thiefs both in their overcharging and willingness to find new, expenseive issues every time they pop the hood. These are wonderful cars but they will have minor issues with some regularity (as noted in these other posts) -- save 75% on these repairs by going outside the dealer.Rookie
2003 BMW X5Visitor, Mcallen, TX, March 23, 2012 06:11Many costly repairs. Transmission $1000,battery $350 door latch $150 Brake lights $50 . Had car for 3 months. You pay dearly for nice style. Hondas are better because it goes a long ways with no repairs.
2001 BMW X5Visitor, Fresno, CA, December 21, 2011 13:08ALL BMW USED TO BE CALL "THE ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE" NOW THEY CALL "THE ULTIMATE FIXING MACHINE" WHO THINKING OF OWNING ONE BETTER THINK TWICE. GET READY TO EMPTY YOUR SAVING. FRIENDLY WARNING.
2003 BMW X5Visitor, Montgomery, AL, August 16, 2011 22:01I have had a lot of steering problems
2005 BMW X5Visitor, Saint Cloud, FL, June 23, 2011 17:15Good car so far when it come engine and driving but sensors go off like crazy. Luckily my hubby learn to read code himself and understand the car but otherwise might be in the dealer. Must sensor were false alarms. Costly when in need of repair. Glad we have the opportunity to own a BMW but might be our last due to high repair cost and ton of unneeded sensors. BMW makes them complicated to repair for to make money. Many things the regular mechanic can't due because special tools are needed. Lots of electric wiring. One window ($500 plus and only BMW had the tools) and sunroof motor ($2000+ but manage to get a discount) burned out and need replacement.
2001 BMW X5Visitor, Monsey, NY, March 09, 2011 11:37I purchased this car with 26000 mles on it. It now has 166000! Read the reviews and had many of the same issues. Wipers just stopped, the dealer tightened the linkage and used lock tight. Prob solved. Locks frozen in winter, try to get some lubricant in there if you can. Solved my problem and I had this issue for years. Console light intermittantly indicates that my headlight is out, but it is not. No major repairs and it is still going strong. It seems to burn oit though and I always keep 5 quart container of Mobile 1 and check between changes. Love my car. Would get another one but I want to see when this one gives out first..
2001 BMW X5Visitor, Ogdensburg, NY, January 30, 2011 12:53Bought vehicle new - now has 125K miles. Great vehicle - excellent tow vehicle (5000 lb boat). Love the vehicle BUT costly to maintain and repair - has cost $0.15/mile for R&M.
2004 BMW X5Visitor, Westfield, NJ, January 25, 2011 17:22my 2004 x 5 looks great, but so many problems at only 58k .this may be my last bmw.
2009 BMW X5KBW, Nyack, NY, November 14, 2010 17:38Overall a great car ; I bought the car brand spanking new in April 2009 and have enjoyed its dynamic performance and shape.... However there are two annoying problems : 1. The FUEL PUMP warning indicator RANDOMLY FLASHES ON, sometimes 20 times a day, then nothing for 2 weeks!! This combined with the ANNOYING RINGING Sound of the BMW NANNY WARNING system becomes very irritating. There is no loss of performance , just this continuing problem. BMW garage hexagon in Highgate still cannot diagnose the problem ,even though they have had the car on two separate occasions for more than 5 days in total !!! Has anyone else experienced this FUEL PUMP WARNING ? Problem two : The NANNY style onboard computer DRINGS at you for undoing your seatbelt . Good sense I hear you say and I would agree..But even when the car is stationary and you take off your belt it starts RINGING at you (VERY LOUDLY). You might be having a hands free telephone conversation but it still keeps BARKING at you. Or you may want to reverse and unstrap yourself ,only to hear the PLING of the BMW onboard computer jar discordantly against your favorite tune on the radio!!! Please BMW get some more imaginative warning sounds or allow me to choose my warning sounds like the programming on a basic mobile phone ....Enthusiast
2001 BMW X5Ptjs, Council Bluffs, IA, November 06, 2010 17:36Really nice car has 82000 had it two yrs now and only thing bothers me is the stock brakes leave a ton of dust on the wheels. If you open the back hatch with the button inside and then open & close any of the front doors it will cause the hatch to stick as it sucks the hatch down on the lock.Enthusiast
2004 BMW X5Visitor, Lees Summit, MO, August 19, 2010 21:352004 x5 4.2 has many minor issues around 100K despite regular routine maintenance. Blower fan running right now despite having parked in the drive a 7:30 p, great riding mobile.
2004 BMW X5Visitor, Shingle Springs, CA, July 25, 2010 00:04This vehicle is my life line when it comes to my occupation. I am so impressed with the reliability! I have 155,000 miles and counting. It is still like a new car
2002 BMW X5dlatimor, Owings Mills, MD, May 11, 2010 18:26Overall great car, but I have had serious electrical issues with this car from day one. First the LEDs in the center console went out, the the doors wouldn't catch when closed (only in the winter oddly enough), then the sunroof would open at random times. Now, today, the windshield wipers suddenly just stopped in the middle of a downpour while we were on the highway. Otherwise, it's driven very nicely. Repairs are extremely costly though. Choose wisely!Enthusiast
2000 BMW X5Ho Nam, Menlo Park, CA, December 16, 2009 21:00Great car. Electrical problems but otherwise solid.Enthusiast
2001 BMW X5germansue, Burlington, NJ, May 04, 2009 10:36I bought my X5 new in 2001. In the beginning I had tons of minor issues, which were all covered under warranty. I only had one major repair since the extended warranty was up in 2008. I absolutely love my truck and hope to drive it for many more years to come.Enthusiast
2008 BMW X5Saji, Santa Clara, CA, April 28, 2009 15:54BMW X5Enthusiast
2004 BMW X5conyers, Conyers, GA, April 15, 2009 19:11Fantastic car. Especially love the tailgate on this model. Drives like a dream in rain & snow.Enthusiast
2005 BMW X5Panetier, Oakland, CA, March 17, 2009 21:04This car looks pretty good, and handles well in the rain (what little we have seen) and snow (in the mountains). It's a comfortable on the open road, and carries quite a bit of gear. No problems at all with this very low-mileage vehicle (7.5K per year). In fact, I don't believe this '05 X-5 is even broken in yet. City driving mileage pathetic at 15mpg, and we've sen 20+ on the freeways. My only concern is the 3.0 litre engine which is underpowered for the size and weight of this vehicle.Enthusiast

Where did I say this was a bug?
This problem caused 6 months of Purple Skull of Dreaded Instance Denial facesmashing for hours and hours. If you were to add up all of the time lost it was quite substantial.
Yes it was working as designed - and it was poorly designed at that!
So we have too many people running instances - lets add - MORE INSTANCES! (Which is exactly what they did)
Silence from their support, Blue's ignoring the issue.
Sure it was not a bug - but it crippled the game. Imagine not being able to run any instances. What is there left to do? Roll an alt? An alt that would not be able to run instances either!
Turn on your TV - Sorry too many people are watching Channel 3 - try again later. This message is working as intended.
This should have been mentioned - the game was broken for 1/2 of 2009.

Dallas, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/18/2012 -- The foot & ankle segment is one of the largest in the extremity market. It includes the musculature from the ankle joint or the tibiofibular-talus joint and includes muscles, ligaments, and tendons associated with the forefoot, mid-foot, and hind-foot.
This market includes orthopedic devices used in ligament repair and reconstruction procedures, internal fixation (ORIF), joint replacement, arthrodesis, and arthroscopy. Sub-talar joint replacement is also gaining strength due to the rise of uncommon phalanx joint conditions such as hammertoe. The report "Foot & Ankle Devices Market (2012 – 2017) by Products, Application Area (External Fixation, Internal Fixation, Joint Replacement, Forefoot, Midfoot, Hindfoot, Prosthesis, Bracing) – Global Trends and Competitive Analysis" estimates the market for internal fixation devices such as compression, buttress plates, screws, rods and wires. It also estimates the market for complete joint replacement for the ankle and other minor joint areas. The total ankle joint replacement procedures are around 50,000 annually in the United States alone. Around 40% of fractures require surgical intervention by placing a permanent support to the bone, and advances in implant device design such as ankle replacement, have made surgery a feasible option for many people.
The foot & ankle market also includes two other segments, namely, prosthetics, and bracing and support. Foot & ankle prosthetics has gained a significant amount of footing since the introduction of technologically advanced devices and materials such as the pneumatic foot, carbon fiber, microprocessor-controlled, and hydraulic controlled prosthetic feet. Bracing and support consists of a large range of devices, utilized on the basis of type of injury. Braces are available for minor strains and twists, along with heavy-duty braces for postoperative recuperation.
The main drivers for the foot & ankle devices market are the rise in sports injuries, which commonly involve serious ankle injuries, increasing incidences of road accidents, and rise in rate of diabetes, which leads to the deterioration of foot & ankle area caused by large sores and infections. The foot & ankle extremity market will grow substantially in the coming decade with advances in technology.
The key players in the foot & ankle devices market are Wright Medical (U.S.), DePuy Synthes (U.S.), Arthrex (U.S.), Integra (U.S.), Tornier (U.S.), Stryker (U.S.), Smith & Nephew (U.K.), Acumed (U.S.), Vilex (U.S.), Zimmer Holdings (U.S.), Biomet (U.S.), BioPro (U.S.), among a large number of niche players such as Orthofix (U.S.), OrthoHelix (U.S.), Small Bone Innovations (U.S.), and Mondeal (U.K.).

Despite the Vastness
It does get to be a juggling act. Apparently we here in Minnesota have been too successful in reviving the wolf population. We have thousands of them now. Enough farmers and others have complained about problems they're having that we are about to start a wolf hunting season. Opponents are currently seeking an injunction but are so far unsuccessful.
Again, the point is not that this is sufficient. The point is "why is this option not mentioned?"
If the problem really is prey species why not let humans have a shot at it?
The fact is, if you are going to "terraform" you have to accept humans as part of the system rather then keeping them away like men away from a harem.
Now perhaps they are doing this but still I wonder. If the problem really is to many herbivores, many of the same things that are tasty to wolves are tasty to Alaskan Female Politicians. We do at least have the power to regulate hunting to the degree that the number of human kills will be roughly equal to the number of wolf kills if they were there.
It is not that we should ignore the preservation of wolves. It is just that trying to control the whole system may be beyond our capacity for the moment. Whereas it is easy enough, if crude, just to control prey species with Alaskan Female Politicians, and preserve wolves by dropping a steak on the trail thus handling the problems separately. I realize I am speaking in a field outside my knowledge. But it does seem strange to "terraform" without accepting humans as one of the species to work into the system.

Mark Taylor knew he was inheriting a very talented guard in Tyler Ennis when he took over as head coach at St. Benedict's in 2011. What Taylor didn't realize is that the young guard's greatest asset wasn't his speed or jump shot, but rather his maturity and unflappable persona on and off the court. That combination of poise and skill doesn't just make Ennis The Star-Ledger's Prep Player of the Year, but arguably one of the country's best point guards.

Across the country, the long-awaited release of Nike retro Air Jordan basketball shoes on Friday resulted in fights, arrests, and the use pepper spray as police tried to calm frenzied shoppers, many of whom had waited outside stores overnight.
In Richmond, Calif., a man was arrested after he fired a gun while waiting in line, KTVU TV reported.
In Seattle, Tukwila police officer Mike Murphy said more than 1,000 people lined up to buy shoes at 4 a.m. at four stores in the Westfield Southcenter mall.
He said police used pepper spray on about 20 people who were fighting, while one man was arrested for assault after police say he pushed an officer.
"He did not get his shoes; he went to jail," Murphy said.

Owners of the Samsung Omnia i900 seem set to receive an update of Windows Mobile 6.5 for their devices, although there is no word on an exact release date just yet. While many newer handsets have already rolled out since the Omnia made its debut, the Windows Mobile 6.5 update might just prolong its shelf life for a little bit longer, while putting off the purchase of phones from other companies for existing Samsung Omnia owners.

"South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are launching their own production company. The comedy duo has formed Important Studios for future TV and film projects, including a possible big-screen adaptation of their hit Broadway musical, "The Book Of Mormon."
Bing: 'Mormon' reaches the West End
Stone and Parker are looking forward to taking charge, telling The New York Times, "Having worked with several different studios over the years, we came to realize that our favorite people in the world are ourselves."
The creative partners, and best pals, are modeling their new venture on Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks movie studio and George Lucas' Lucasfilm.
"In some ways it's a stupid comparison because they are gargantuan," Stone said. "We want to be a smaller, more humble version of that. If DreamWorks is [U.S. retail giant] Wal-Mart, we are over here knitting sweaters."

Mt Hotham Resort Fire Update - 12pm
Friday 15th February 2013
Harrietville ¬†'Äď Alpine Fire Statistics:
                                       North             South
Fire Area:                       18270ha         12000 ha
Fire Perimeter:                95 km            150 km
Control Lines built:         210 km          40 km
Line to be built:              10 km            29 km
Potential Spread:             High              High
Resort Threat: ¬†Medium 'Äď currently NO active fires within Resort boundaries.
Conditions:       Currently;  Mild and Clear with no visible smoke,   Temperature: 14'c (expected max. of 16'c)
                           Humidity:  67%, Wind:  WSW at 6 km/h with gusts to 15 km/h.
Road Status: ¬†¬†¬†¬†Both Approaches Closed 'Äď Emergency & Essential Service Vehicle Access Only.
Current Status:
The 'ÄėHarrietville 'Äď Alpine North Fires'Äô remains classified as 'Äėgoing'Äô and are continuing to spread.
Fire behaviour remains quite mild, but is slowly expanding along active fronts but activity has been subdued due to the low wind strength and higher humidity - which currently stands at 67%  with wind speed at 6 kmh from the WSW.
Thunderstorms have occurred across the fire ground yesterday and overnight, but rainfall was patchy and mostly to the north of the fire area with NO rainfall on the Dargo sector.¬† ¬†The thunderstorm activity that occurred to the east and north of the fire has been responsible for several other ignitions which resulted in aerial and ground resources being redirected to provide first attack response 'Äď however none of the additional ignitions are within or immediately adjacent to Mt. Hotham..
Several of the new ignitions have been dealt with and wont require further redirection of resources however 4 fires in the Ovens will require DSE crews to be tasked to them for follow up.
The main fronts within the 'Davenport Catchment' continue their progress and spread within the 'Dargo National Park'. ¬†The fire has run to the South and South-east, with several ¬†spots ahead of the main fire. ¬†¬†Crews have completed significant defensive preparations, including a bull-dozer 'Äėcontrol-cut'Äô right around the SE perimeter to protect private assets - CFA are monitoring and maintaining crew and equipment in the 'Dinner Plain' area.
.
CFA/DSE Control Strategies;
Continue to monitor and protect 'Mt Hotham Resort', 'Dinner Plain Village' and other assets from fire.
The 'Dinner Plain Track' has been strengthened and 'back burnt' to 'Mayford Spur'.  The 'Blue Rag Range Track' has been strengthening and completed to 'Wongungurra River'.
Contain 'Pheasant Creek Track' spot over using 'Paddy Hill Track' to the north and tie into 'Buckland River Road' to the west.
Preparation of containment Lines utilising 'Mount Murray Track North' and 'Mount Murray Logging Road' and tying back into 'Pheasant Creek Track' and 'Buckland River Road'.
Back burn south off  'Pheasant Creek Track' to tie in to 'Mount Murray Track North' and 'Mount Murray Logging Road'. Back burning has commenced.
Holding the fire edge to the west of the 'Diamantina River' remains critical for preventing the easterly expansion of the fire and for protecting 'Mt Hotham' from fire.
Maintain and extend fire Control Lines South and South-west of 'Harrietville' along the 'West Ovens Track' , 'New Link Track' and 'Albion Track' to link with the Western Division strategy.
Continue construction of fallback control lines to the west of the fire.
Rappel crews returning to Ovens  today and will  remain ready to be deployed to the Eastern Division if required.
It is proposed to burn out 'Kings Spur Track at the earliest opportunity.
Ground Crews and aircraft will be redeployed to new fire starts as circumstances dictate..
Village Access:
Both roads to the 'Hotham Village' are closed under direction of the 'Incident Control Coordinator' in 'Swifts Creek'. ¬†The GAR to Harrietville Road is designated as 'ÄėClass A'Äô closure 'Äď strictly no access (due to the high risk of burnt 2003-fire-killed Alpine Ash above the road falling down onto the road). ¬†¬†¬†The GAR from Dinner Plain 'Äď Hotham Heights is designated 'ÄėClass B'Äô closure - for Emergency Fire and Essential Services use only. ¬†Both approaches are expected to remain close for several weeks.

How You Can Look And Feel Great
There are a large number of quotes and popular statements about beauty. Beauty doesn't have to depend on your outward appearance. In order to be truly beautiful, you need to look good and have good character. People may be attracted to beauty at first, but it is the personality that makes them stay. This article offers advice for being beautiful from the inside out.
http://grosculmature.eu Vaseline is great to smooth all over your feet around bedtime. You will have soft and supple feet as if you just got a pedicure. Make this part of your nightly beauty routine so you don't forget. Apply your Vaseline liberally and then slip on your socks as they will keep it on your feet and off your sheets!
Beauty is relative. Beauty is something you can find anywhere you look. You might look at trees as beautiful, or maybe pictures of your smiling significant other. By keeping an open mind and eye, you will find beauty all around you.
Spray your hair with a heat protectant before blow drying. Every major store will have this in the beauty section. It is a great way to avoid split ends. It also keeps your hair from drying out, and is often scented!
Before using a fake tanner, remove hair from the area at least a day in advance. Whether you wax or shave, you will achieve the best results if you wait for 24 hours after. You will have a tan that is more natural looking and not so uneven.
Do not use extremely hot water when bathing. Hot water urges pores to open, and then natural oils escape. You are more likely to wash away the oils you need. Use warm or tepid water, as this is more gentle on your skin, keeping it soft and healthy looking. You can also save money on the heating bill.
Pink lipstick is a perfect concealer for imperfections. A nice warm pink lipstick is not to be used on the flaw, but rather as a tool to draw the attention away from any imperfection on your face and put the focus on your lips. Between a good concealer and lips that pop, nobody will notice that little blemish.
Milk is very beneficial for your body and skin so you should consume a cup daily. Studies have shown that drinking milk daily has many benefits for your body, bones, and skin. Also, you can gain a lot of muscle if you drink milk. It can help you maintain a more favorable body weight as well. Drinking milk is among the easiest ways to keep your body looking good.
Epsom salts are a great beauty tool. The benefits of epsom salts range from sore muscle relief to being used instead of a regular laxative. You can also mix it with lavender to create a topical paste. This mixture can then be applied onto your problem areas. Leave it on overnight. You will wake in the morning to improved skin.
Wash your makeup utensils to reduce blemishes on your skin. Using lukewarm water and some gentle non-comedogenic shampoo, thoroughly clean the bristles of your makeup brushes. Rinse the brushes thoroughly, and put them on a towel to dry. Thanks to this procedure, the brushes will be free of acne-causing bacteria and their bristles will not have leftover makeup in them.
For fat lashes, choose your mascara wisely. Lengthening mascara that is waterproof will make your lashes appear longer and won't run. There are many on the market that claim to be formulated for that. A lot of these are heavy and thick, however. They end up weighing down your lashes. Use a lengthening formula instead. These formulas make your lashes appear longer, while curling them upward.
These simple ideas can help you start looking your best. These tips will familiarize you with beauty secrets. You can apply them yourself and reap attractive results.
