Mmm... I think all the other classes got class-specific chains earlier in the game? Like, as a druid, I remember doing that thing with the poisons in the Barrens, or those ones where you had to go to moonglade and see some animal spirit to get your next shapeshift form. Or the shaman quests to get all the totems. I don't think priests or hunters had class chains like that early on, so maybe the MC chains were there to make up for that?
I know warriors, paladins and shamans didnt really have those quests: they had access to Sulfuras (well the warriors did - no one would give a shamman or paladin one).
Druids, mages, and rogues had no quests other than the sunken temple one that was more or less removed some time ago.
Paladins and Locks had their uber hard mount quests.
It was hunters and priests that had the crazy quest. I think it was the first step in creating those weapons for all classes, but then they ran out of time/money/ideas that would challenge the other classes.
Paladins and Warriors also had access to Quel'serrar, though I imagine far more warriors had that than paladins, since for paladins the effort to obtain a tanking sword was probably not worth it.
Druids would later get the flight form quest.
Shamans could get a purple helm; as it was vanilla, this was horde only.
Warlocks also had quests to learn their "special" summons, the Infernal and the Doomguard.
Mages had quests to learn some of their high level spells; I suppose that's something.
I remember Druids had a special quest for Bear form. Warlocks and Hunters had quests for pets. The warlock one was much harder and required quite a bit of traveling. If I remember right Paladins had a mount quest and there was another attunement quest at one time. All of those class quests are gone now. I kind of wish they were still around. I know Blizzard is trying to make it easier to level a toon to get to end game content but some of that stuff was just pure fun even if it was time consuming.

FORT WORTH, Texas—TCU starting quarterback Casey Pachall will not face team discipline, coach Gary Patterson says.
Pqchall, a junior, admitted to police in February that he used marijuana and failed a drug test.
Pachall gave a statement to reporters at the start of a press conference and apologized for his actions.
TCU players were scheduled to report Sunday for the start of fall practice.
Pachall was interviewed by Fort Worth police when his former roommate, linebacker Tanner Brock, and three other TCU football players were among the students arrested Feb. 15 after a six-month drug sting.
Pachall threw for a school record 2,921 passing yards last season.

Hospital for Special Surgery scientists Adele Boskey, PhD, and Alessandra Pernis, MD, have received new NIH funding in 2012 to support their explorations into the how and why of bone and autoimmune disease. They conduct laboratory research that may be the first step in developing new treatments for patients.
Dr. Pernis works closely with clinicians in the Mary Kirkland Centers for Lupus Care and Research, where a pilot project is currently underway to measure the levels of kinase in people with lupus. Eventually, she would also like to track whether levels of kinase increase during lupus flares.
"HSS is special because bench research can be translated to the bedside seamlessly. There is true collaboration between laboratory scientists and clinicians," says Dr. Pernis. "We are all committed to helping patients live full and active lives."

Joanna Newsom, Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold Cover Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow
By Tom Breihan on August 3, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
Both Joanna Newsom and Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold seem like they come from some magical fantasyland populated by unicorns and wizards and benevolent, non-people-eating dragons. But whatever their origins, we now know that both Newsom and Pecknold own functioning car radios. At their show together in Oakland last night, Pecknold and Newsom covered the countrified Kid Rock/Sheryl Crow duet "Picture"-- one of the last songs we'd expect these two to know.
And, surprise surprise, they nailed it. Watch the fan-recorded video below, via Pitchfork writer Matthew Perpetua's Fluxtumblr.

This 14-minute, black-and-white tour documentary features Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold singing into a microphone while playing a guitar at various venues, in addition to backstage footage. The piece was filmed by Robin's brother Sean Pecknold during Robin's recent stint opening for Joanna Newsom, who makes a cameo. Robin heads out on the road with Newsom again for a West Coast trek starting tomorrow.
Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold to Tour With Joanna Newsom Again
By Tom Breihan on June 23, 2010 at 3:30 p.m. EDT
Earlier this year, Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold took a break from his band to play a few solo dates, opening for fellow celestial folker Joanna Newsom throughout the South and Midwest. (You can watch a video of him playing a new song at one of those shows here.) And now that dynamic duo will return. Newsom's quick West Coast tour is set to kick off in late July, and Pecknold will once again open those shows. Dates below.
Video: Watch Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold Debut New Song Live
By Ryan Dombal on April 2, 2010 at 1:45 p.m. EDT
Fleet Foxes leader Robin Pecknold is currently wrapping up his week-long tour with Joanna Newsom, and he's been playing at least one new track during his solo opening sets.
He debuted the lilting song at Nashville's Mercy Lounge on March 28, and played it again two days later at Cincinnati's MusicNow Festival, where someone in the audience caught it and put it up on YouTube. No word on if the song will end up on the forthcoming Fleet Foxes record, which is due out later this year according to our recent interview with Pecknold. We humbly recommend giving it a listen/watch nonetheless. Dude can sing:
Watch Fleet Foxes Frontman Robin Pecknold Cover Joanna Newsom
By Tom Breihan on March 5, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. EST
Starting later this month, Fleet Foxes leader Robin Pecknold will open a few shows for conquering hero Joanna Newsom.
And now, Pecknold's taken to his YouTube page to play a sweet, low-key acoustic cover of "On a Good Day", the shortest song on Newsom's gargantuan new triple album Have One on Me. Lovely. Now can we get a duet, please?
Check below to watch the video:
Fleet Foxes Frontman Robin Pecknold to Tour With Joanna Newsom
By Tom Breihan on February 22, 2010 at 4:15 p.m. EST
Neo-folk megastars collide! Shortly after releasing her monster triple-album Have One on Me (due tomorrow from Drag City), beloved harpist Joanna Newsom will spend a good chunk of her spring touring North America.
And on five six of those dates, she'll bring another of her genre's leading lights along with her: Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold, who has no three-LP set of his own to promote. Or any new album to promote. According to Fleet Foxes' label Sub Pop, he's jumping on the traveling Newsom show for fun. But maybe we'll hear some new tunes?
Below, you'll find a list of the dates that Newsom will share with Pecknold.
Fleet Foxes, Tupac Shakur, Muse Show Up on the Vatican MySpace Playlist
By Tom Breihan on December 7, 2009 at 3:45 p.m. EST
If His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI hasn't accepted your friend request, don't get mad. He's a busy man! He has to pick which 2Pac track to put on the Music From the Vatican MySpace playlist.
OK, not really. But CNN reports that the Music From the Vatican MySpace page has recently posted a playlist of songs that, according to the page itself, "share the aim to reach the heart of good minded people." The playlist includes Fleet Foxes' "He Doesn't Know Why", Muse's "Uprising", and, yes, 2Pac's "Changes". (I would've gone with "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" myself, but I'm not the Pope. Yet.)
Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold Talks Next Album, Side Projects, Creative Struggle
By Tom Breihan on December 3, 2009 at 3:10 p.m. EST
Photo by Jen Reel
On the strength of one EP and one self-titled album, Seattle backwoods harmonizers Fleet Foxes have ascended to indie stardom. They've played festival stages and appeared on "Saturday Night Live". They also won Album of the Year honors from Pitchfork and toured their hearts out. So how do you follow up a debut run like that? To hear frontman Robin Pecknold tell it, you question whether music is really what you want to do, you work on some side projects, and then you hunker down to start work on the follow-up album.
Fleet Foxes are now in the early stages of album number two, and Pecknold is also keeping his creative energies up by forming a band with his sister and working on pretend film scores with Morgan Henderson of Past Lives (and formerly of Blood Brothers). He recently chatted with Pitchfork about Paul Thomas Anderson, Neil Young, and his decision to keep making music.

The Greens are set to introduce a bill into state parliament recommending the introduction of seatbelts for children travelling on country school buses. Under existing road rules, restraints are mandatory for passengers travelling on coaches, but children are exempt on bus routes. Parent groups are also asking the government to close the loophole and make seatbelts mandatory.
The School Bus Safety Advisory Committee has examined the issue and delivered a report recommending that the government force rural school buses to be fitted with belts within 10 years. It also recommends a ban on children standing on buses required to travel on unsealed roads or on roads with a speed limit of 80km/h or more outside urban areas, by the end of term three next year.
According to Transport NSW the costings and phasing in of a seatbelts and no-standing policy within five years would cost about $55 million. All states and territories, except Victoria and the ACT, have begun phasing in seatbelts on rural buses travelling along high-risk routes.
Read more HERE.
Do you think that all school buses should have seatbelts? Should cost be an issue or should our children's safety come first, no matter what the price?
YES! I always wonder why there aren't any seatbelts on buses..
Cost should not be an issue here at all! How much is a life worth?
NSW car laws state that a child under 7 must be in either a booster seat or restraint. Being on a bus is in no way safer than a car, so seatbelts are definitely needed.
What does need to be looked at is the design of such seatbelts - they need to be adjustable to ensure that they adequately fit each child.
The only other issue here would be policing the use of seatbelts.
The government would also need to look at factoring in an education program and advertising ensuring that children are made aware of the importance of 'buckling up'
Seatbelts would also be a valuable inclusion on general public transport. If not on all seats why not on those at the front of the bus - not only would these be good for kids but for the elderly or less mobile who in some cases have difficulty holding on.
Bring on the seatbelts!!
Yes, I think they should be on every bus not just school buses.
YES YES and YES again....
We were pushing for this when our children were in Primary School and they are now in their 30's!!!!
Cannot believe they are not compulsary!
& while we're at it get booster seats in taxis! A friend of mine has a Volvo which has a seat that converts to a booster, why can't we have these in taxis??
Yes absolutely! A childs safety should always come first.
Totally agree Matimdan!
YES YES YES YES YES. When will they make this compulsory. If we can waste money on the Grand Prix here in Melbourne and a multitude of other things I won't bore you with then we can protect our kids safety.
Hi i think cost should not even come into this as even if one child is saved isnt it worth it?? no matter the cost the kids should come first ,i cant believe that this is not compulsory already.I would really like to see all current buses updated and all new buses fitted out,after a trip with my son to town on the local bus he couldnt wait for me to get my car back from repairs ,he was scared and felt unsafe ,wheres my seatbelt ?? he asked me and i said there wasnt one ,but i strongly i believe there should be.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Proxan
What does it do?
Based on their colour, Proxan identifies two sets of objects on the image. The reference set is some inherent feature of the biological matrix, for example blood vessels or certain kind of cells. The other set, that Proxan calls the active set, is some biological phenomenon that is not part of the matrix, such as plaques of blood or a certain protein in cells or in the intercellular space. Proxan does not know what they are and she does not care, as long as they are marked with distinct colours. After extracting these objects from the image, Proxan tries to determine if there is a spatial relationship between the two sets. She achieves that by generating artificial images on which the active objects are randomly distributed.
On each artificial image the reference objects, that is, the biological matrix is unchanged. The number, shape and orientation of the active objects are also preserved. However, the locations of the active objects are randomised, adhering to certain rules.
Proxan then calculates the distances between reference and active objects for each image. These numbers form a statistics describing the distance distribution between the reference and active object sets on your image, assuming that there is no relationship between the two sets. Finally, Proxan compares the distances on your original image against the statistics that she has obtained from the random image set. From that she concludes whether on the original image there is a spatial correlation between the two object sets or not.
How much does it cost?
Proxan is free software, both monetarily and in terms of your rights.
Please note that despite being free, Proxan is not in the public domain. Bendor Research owns the copyright for it, and it is licenced to you under the terms of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License (GPL). That license grants you the right to use, re-distribute and modify Proxan. It also allows you to use bits of Proxan in other programs you might write, on the condition that when you release those programs, or a modified version of Proxan, you release them under the GNU General Public License.
Furthermore, the GPL restricts our powers over Proxan's fate: even though we are the copyright holders, we can not revoke the above mentioned rights from you and under no circumstances can we demand you to cease to use, distribute or modify Proxan.
At the same time the GPL requires you to waive your rights to demand any guarantee, warranty or liability from us with regards to Proxan; if you use it, you use it at your own risk and you are solely responsible for any and all consequences of your using it.
Proxan does not do what I want. How can I sue you?
You can not. Proxan's license clearly states that Proxan comes with no warranty whatsoever. We do not guarantee that it works, that it does what we tell you it does or that it causes no harm to you or a third party. We assume no responsibility and accept no liability for any of the above or anything else with relation to Proxan. You use it at your own risk. By using it you accept all liabilities arising out of its use. If Proxan blows up your computer, makes you a laughing stock, causes world famine or wipes out the peaceful folk of the 6th planet of Theta Draconis because of your using it, that is all your responsibility.
If you think that the above is arrogant and harsh, please read very carefully the End User License Agreement (EULA) of any Microsoft
product you might own. Alternatively, read the license agreement of more or less
commercial software product you have. You will be surprised.
What do I need to run Proxan?
First of all, you need a GNU/Linux (Linux for short) system. If you don't know what it is, you might take a look at
this site
. You will also need gcc and gmake from the
GNU Project
, these come with your Linux distribution. Proxan uses the GTK+ library as well as libtiff, the TIFF image library. As far as we know, all current Linux distributions contain these. However, if yours does not, you can get the GTK+ from
and the TIFF library from
Proxan needs lots of memory and a fast processor. She runs comfortably on a modern machine but as a minimum, you should have a Pentium-III running at at least 600MHz and your machine should have a minimum of 128MB of RAM. Given enough swap space she would run on a lesser machine but you will get frustrated of waiting for her.
Proxan does
run on Microsoft
Does it run only on Linux?
The GTK+ and the TIFF library are available for pretty much any unix-ish system. Proxan uses only basic system functions, it has nothing inherently Linux-specific in it. Therefore, compiling Proxan on Solaris, *BSD or any other unix-type system should be a matter of possibly editing the library and include path statements in the Makefile, if that. Of course, you need GTK+ and libtiff installed, as well as gcc and GNU make.
Will you port Proxan to the Mac?
We do not have a Mac and since we do not need it for our everyday operations, it would be hard to justify buying one just to port Proxan. By our best knowledge GTK+ has been ported to MacOS-X. In the heart of MacOS-X there is a unix variant, so the rest of Proxan would run comfortably there. It would probably be easy to find someone with both Mac and Linux experience and access to port it. We'd be glad to host the Mac version on our website.
Will you port Proxan to Microsoft
No. However, if you find someone who does, we would host that version as well.
Will you develop Proxan further?
Yes, we will. We have a handful of new features in mind that we want to add and of course we will fix all pending issues with the existing version. Keep in mind, however, that Proxan is not our main activity, she is being written when we can afford the time and resources needed for her development. Nevertheless, we will not abandon her.
Why do you sometimes use the pronoun 'she' when referring to Proxan?
The name Proxan comes from
alysis. It sounds similar to the female name Roxan. While you are developing a program, you sometimes start to think of it as a being rather than just an algorithm. That happened with Proxan and during the development process 'it' slowly became a 'she'. Naturally, we can not licence
, so for that purpose Proxan is an 'it'. Otherwise, a 'she'. Especially when she is moody... :-)

Back from commercials, Kelly Kirkpatrick in Green Bay throws back to Dan and Casey. Dan thanks her, then says, "You look cold. Put some clothes on." I hope that wasn't a nipple reference. Then the boys talk about how it's time for the annual Play of the Year selection. Danny says their "crack staff" has been debating it (and I think that should be "crackhead staff"), but Sports Night wants to hear what the viewers think. Show's over. Kim strides by. I look at her and wonder what the big fuss is over Sally Sasser. As they leave the set, Danny asks Casey what he plans on cooking tomorrow morning. Casey says it's not a cooking show, it's a news show. "Are you sure?" says Dan. Casey's sure. We find out that Casey's going to be on The View. A news show? Really? I've never watched it, but I was under the impression that it's a talk show. Doesn't the presence of Barbara Walters automatically disqualify it as having any sort of news value? Dan wants to know who the other guest is, but Casey is reluctant to say. Dan keeps pressing. "It's Wolfgang Puck! You want a piece of me?" yells Casey. Danny backs down. Casey says it wouldn't kill Danny to do a little press, but Danny reminds Casey that he's under a gag order for six months (after he said there was nothing he likes better than sparkin' up a big fat blunt. Or something. I'm fuzzy on the details; check the recap for "The Apology"). "You want me to talk to somebody?" says Casey. Dan says, "No, I want to dance with somebody. With. Somebody. Who loves meeee..." And I think when my mind is off at play in the fields of Whitney Houston, it's time to up my meds. Actually, Danny breaks down and starts begging Casey to talk to someone so he can give interviews, and Casey says he will. Dana pops her head in the office to tell Casey to knock 'em dead on the cooking show tomorrow. Casey says "thanks" and Dan giggles.
Next, we are on The View, which features, as far as I know, the actual women from that show, who are fawning all over Casey. Yeah, looks like hard news. Casey gives a shout-out to his partner, Dan Rydell, "who couldn't be here this morning." "Hope he has a good excuse!" says one woman. "Yes," says Casey, "he likes to sleep late." Everybody laughs way out of proportion to the actual funniness of that line. Then the woman says she understands that Dan and Casey write together. Casey says "yes." The woman beside him, the one who is played by Tracey Morgan on the Saturday Night Live parody and apparently is always saying, "Now, I am a lawyer," says, "Now, how does that work?" Casey gives another line about how he takes the nouns and verbs and Dan takes the adjectives and prepositions. Again everybody busts up laughing. Then this blonde woman says they can't let him go without asking him about his ties. She's really flirting. Okay, someone help me out. Is The View really supposed to be a news show? ["God, no. It's like Estrogen & Kathie Lee." -- Sars] The Tracey Morgan woman says something about his "famous" neckties. How sad is this interview? Tracey Morgan says that a man who knows how to dress himself is very sexy. Casey says, "Which is why so many of us [something] Carrot Top," and I couldn't make it out, but what kind of tired name to drop is Carrot Top? Wait, when was Carrot Top ever actually cool? Then Tracey Morgan plugs Sports Night, and I guess it must have been sweeps when this episode aired to earn a powerhouse crossover like this.

MANCHESTER, N.H. — There's plenty of fight in these Irish.
When Merrimack scored a shorthanded goal to take a 2-0 lead late in the first, Notre Dame answered 27 seconds later to cut the deficit in half. When the Irish trailed 3-2 entering the third period, they outshot the Warriors 17-4 and managed to force overtime.
And when they were getting completely dominated to start overtime, they called a timeout, settled down and netted the winner less than a minute later to advance to Sunday's regional final with a 4-3 win.
"Obviously we're thrilled to advance," said Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson. "Certainly it was an up and down game, like a boxing match. Merrimack put us on our heels early. … It's fortunate that our guys never say never and got it done."
Merrimack came out flying to start overtime and registered the first six shots of the extra session. Unfortunately for the Warriors, Notre Dame goalie Mike Johnson (32 saves) was nothing short of spectacular in bonus time.
First he robbed Stephane Da Costa with a glove save on a rebound bid. Next up was a pad save on Rhett Bly's one-timer from the slot. Then it was locating a Karl Stollery slapper through heavy traffic and hanging onto the rebound as two Warriors jammed away.
"If it wasn't for Mike Johnson," Jackson said, "we wouldn't be here talking about a victory."
Jackson finally called a timeout around the 4:30 mark to try and settle his team down.
"Any coach would've called a timeout in that circumstance," Jackson said. "The pressure was on us. I just told our guys to calm down. We were turning over too many pucks."
On the first shift out of the timeout, the Irish managed to get the puck deep for the first time in overtime. Then, in the blink of an eye, the game ended on a completely inconspicuous play that left everyone wondering what just happened.
Merrimack's Carter Madsen circled behind his own net and cut inside a forechecking Anders Lee to start a rush up ice. After it appeared Madsen had already gotten by him, Lee spun around and blindly whacked at the puck, knocking it off Madsen's stick and through the five-hole of an unsuspecting Joe Cannata (33 saves).
"I just went into the forecheck as hard as I could and swung for it," Lee said. "And the next thing I knew, it was in the back of the net."
The Warriors opened the scoring with a power-play goal from Kyle Bigos 13:23 into the first. They made it 2-0 less than three minutes later when Da Costa fed Ryan Flanigan on a shorthanded 2-on-1.
But just when it appeared Merrimack was on the verge of taking over the game, the Irish regrouped and scored just 27 seconds later on the same power play when Calle Ridderwall one-timed home a pass from Billy Maday.
"That's such a huge momentum swing," Jackson said. "Shorthanded goals are those goals that are momentum changers. And then the other type of momentum goals are when you score right after a goal. That was a complete momentum switch from one direction to another."
After Merrimack regained its two-goal lead early in the second, Lee pulled Notre Dame back within one later in the period with his first of two fluky goals. He flicked a wrister on net from the top of the left circle that Cannata just misjudged and watched bounce off his glove and in.
Maday netted the equalizer for the Irish 5:32 into the third. After a miscommunication between Cannata and one of his defenders, Maday swooped in to poke a loose puck into the cage.
"We have been through a lot of adversity this year," Maday said. "We were confident in the locker room and we knew our chemistry could carry us through any adversity."
Notre Dame will face New Hampshire in the Northeast Regional final Sunday at 8 p.m.

She walks in beauty
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.– Bob Marley
You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.– Bob Marley
Up with the birds.
Los mejores amigos siempre, sin importar que, permanecen. Llenan vacios y los desbordan.
Gracias por darme la dicha de no perderme de conocer a una excelente persona que siempre
ve por los demas antes de si misma, gracias por darme todo el apoyo y aun mas de lo que un amigo podria pedir, gracias por hacer de mis dias los mas felices, gracias por llenarlos de alegria. Y gracias ademas, por recordarme siempre que no importa con cuanto deseo se esperen las cosas, sino que hay que llenarse de fe y aferrrarse a la voluntad para hacer que sucedan. Felicidades a mi mejor amiga, a mi alma gemela. Felicidades Sara :)

stingingnetty said: I am so glad you enjoyed my home country! (I'm the polish girl born in America) I enjoyed it very much too, as well as your final entry because it made me tear up because it reminded me of my last day of my vacation in Poland! my favorite place to visit was visiting my family in the Gdansk area. I saw the house my mother grew up in and played on the beach. I wish you safe travels back to the states!
I'm still updating my Poland blog every so often so stop by and visit. And then, there's also omg-woj.tumblr.com. :D
Dear Poland, I am (almost) no longer in you!
To paraphrase the great Lady Godiva, my employment contract have come to its close. At the proverbial butt crack of dawn tomorrow morning, my family and I will leave your exotic shores for a new adventure in the US.
It may seem difficult to believe, but Poland, I will miss you.
I will miss your delicious food, your neard-damned-free, blazing fast direct-to-God internet, you ridiculously affordable pay-as-you-go mobile phone plans, your balmy winters, your steadfast commitment to elimination of all vowels from your alphabet. I will miss your coy, almost accidental racism, your amazing interpretation of English, your one-of-a-kind optimism. I will never forget your ample and affordable public transportation and that one tram seat which always carries the forever-funk of many geriatric, multi-lingual hobos. I will often find myself pining for a need to carry around a coin purse so large that it can be easily used as a bludgeoning weapon and the way your people have perfected the fine art of buying everything using exact change. I will often find myself lost in a sea of uncertainty and indecision due to the lack of the frequent lectures from all of your old ladies which always knew how to dress and parent my child better then me. I will never again be able to buy shoes, lunch meat, large quantities of booze, potatoes, and electronics in the same store. Try as I might, I will never again have a holiday in Hel or find myself in a country made entirely out of Ikea. I will miss your commitment to proudly remain a country forever free of air conditioners, dryers, or anything Nintendo. I will never again be able to enjoy taking elevators to negative floors or explain to all new visitors that "I live on the second floor which is really the third one". Living in a country where any sauce or condiment aside from mustard and horseraddish has a 95% chance of tasting like nauseatingly sweet paprika wil soon become a distant memory. Most of all, I will miss the sweet, sweet sounds of the entire repertoire of Abba, sang perpetually and without a shred of shame or reserve by my improbably drunk neighbors all night long every Friday night.
Yes, there are great many things to lovingly miss from a great distance about you, Poland. I almost wish I could stay in you a bit longer. Alas, my beloved "Central Europe", all sorts of things must eventually come to an end. No, no, don't cry! You will always have a special place in my heart. Every time I will be treated rudely by a store clerk or hear a stranger complain loudly, rest assured I will be thinking of you!
With this, I conclude the final entry of the "OMG Poland!" blog. Great many thanks to all of the readers and re-bloggers of my adventures!
Goodbye, and thanks for all the fish!
One of the staples of Polish kitchen is its variety of fresh vegetable salads. Among them, the undisputed Summer salad king — a scrumptious cucumber, sour cream, dill, and salt creation named simply "Mizeria", which means "Misery". Because Poland.
This is "Moja Mądra Sówka" or "My Wise Owl". It is sold widely in many staples of Polish toy shops, such as Smyk and Toys R Us. When you place something inside of the Owl's beak or touch various parts of her stuffed anatomy, it bestows the words of pure wisdom unto the eager-to-learn babes in 100% pure and native Polish.
To the toy's credit, it works exactly as advertised which, in of itself, is a monumental achievement for Polish toy manufacturing industry. Things begin falling apart rapidly, however when you hear the choice of phrases triggered in response to a child's interaction with the stuffed bird. Squeeze it's wing, and it utters:
"Wow, this is fun!"
"Your touch is so pleasant!"
"Please do it again!"
"I like it so much when you touch me!"
Insertion and removal of a finger in it's beak nets a variety of cooing pleasure noises, culminating in "I love our special game!" All that is spoken in a voice of a deeply satisfied, barely-legal young lady, as depicted in a clip below:
Wow, Poland. Wow.

Gmail themes screenshots and GIMP watermarking.
Official Gmail Blog: Spice up your inbox with colors and themes
In gmail settings, go to Themes tab where you can choose theme you like.
Mac4lin, have a look,
GIMP to achieve this. This will protect my images from inappropriate reuse. Also it will identify myself on web and if somebody needs original image, will contact me back, so I guess its a nice practice to watermark published images.

I found a free online image watermark tool called Batch Watermarker that can automate the whole process of image watermarking. If you are away from your PC and don't want to download any software, you can just use this online version of watermarking tool for free. It's quick and it's easy to use.
You can also download their full version of Batch Watermark software program if you want to watermark multiple image files in a folder with just a click of the mouse.
- November 27, 2008 at 1:31 PM
You could make them a little less obtrusive/annoying by fading them further into the image while retaining all their use.
- November 28, 2008 at 12:31 AM
There are tools which people can use and download ur image,delete your watermark and use it in whatever way they wish.
- December 7, 2008 at 9:10 AM
- Vinit said...
Nice tool, thanks but it does not have enough control on how we want the watermark.
Yeah, i will try to make them less annoying next time, thank you.
can you tell me abt such tools, bcoz i m not aware of any such tool/method.

who's yur favorite character from twilight
My favorite is Bella Carlisle and EDWARD
Views: 56
Dont be afraid to reply
- For me the main reason that I like Jacob is because he loves Bella so much. He knows that it it is an up hill battle but he is willing to take that chance. I think that he keeps going because he is desperately trying to save the life of the girl he loves. If Bella were to become a vampire, to Jacob it would be like she died, so therefore Edward represents death to Jacob. So in Jacob's mind, if he fails in winning Bella's heart then she will die. Can you imagine having that amount of pressure on yourself?
- I also really enjoy the friendship between Jacob and Bella. They are so much more honest with each other. Bella really enjoys being with Jacob. She allows him to continue to hold her hand and put his arms around her (even after Edward comes back) which I think gives him encouragement that he might actually have a chance.
- The last main reason that I will give is that Jacob is willing to separate himself from his tribe and his pack family in order to save her life. She may not mean too, but she keeps taking that knife and stabbing him in the heart repeatedly throughout her pregnancy (Seth could have kept her warm, it did not need to be Jacob). He consistently puts his own feelings aside to try and make Bella happy.
- Other trivial reasons would be that I really like Jacob's sense of humor. I like that Jacob feels more like a real person.
My last comments
I will not say anything negative about Edward. But here is the thing with Edward, he doesn't exist. I am not talking about because he is a fictional character (so is Jacob) but rather the characteristics of his character are not realistic. You will NEVER find an Edward out there (I am very happily married so in essence I have my "Edward", but even he is not EDWARD you know what I mean).
But you can find a Jacob.
You can find a best friend who brightens your life and makes you smile, just by walking in the room. You can find someone who will protect you and make sure that you are safe. You can find someone who does stupid things (even something that may seem unforgivable). Someone that makes you angry, and yet you learn to forgive them. You can find someone who loves you more than you love them, and they can accept that. You can find someone who has seen you at your worst and still accept you for who you are, even though you might be damaged beyond repair. And these are some of reasons that I like Jacob.
My favorite character from Twilight is definitely Jacob. I'm on Team Jacob for sure. I also like the rest of the wolf pack. Go Team Jacob! YEAH!

Another theme park movie? 'Adventureland' hits theaters Friday
Written by Robert Niles
The genre of theme park movies pretty much begins and ends with "National Lampoon's Vacation."Tweet
Until this week.
Friday, Greg Mottola's "Adventureland" hits screens in the United States. Mottola most recently directed the comedy "Superbad," and earlier worked with Judd Apatow on the TV show "Undeclared." But before any of that, Mottola was... an amusement park employee. The now-44-year-old worked in the 1980s at a Long Island amusement park called Adventureland, and has written and filmed a movie loosely based on that experience.
Jesse Eisenberg, Martin Starr star. Photo courtesy Miramax.
They've kept the name, but shot the movie at Pittsburgh's Kennywood, which filmmakers grunged up to look like a more decrepit '80s suburban carnival park. In Mottola's film, working in a park isn't a glamor job: The movie's website tag line? "Long hours. Low pay. High times."
Yeah, expect a lot of stoner jokes in the flick, which, like Superbad, revolved around a smart, earnest young geek trying to make it with any one of a number of elusive girls. In the end, though, the main character tones down the nerd act, gains some cool and gets some of what he's, um, been looking for.
As someone who also spent his first year out of college, in the late 1980s, working in a theme park, this movie hits very close to home. It's not exactly a twin of my life's story, though. I was fortunate enough to work at Walt Disney World, hardly a lousy amusement park, and the next joint I smoke would be my first. (Was that TMI on TPI? Whatever.)
But working in a park affected me deeply, too. Mottola made a movie. I built a website. Okay, I worked at a better park than Mottola did, but he'll make far, far, far more cash off his project than I'll ever see off mine.
Still, I thank him for inspiring me to spend several hours on the Magic Kingdom West Attractions Alumni Facebook page, clicking through hundreds of old pictures, remembering faces and incidents I'd since forgotten, but swiftly remembered.
I've spent almost two decades working in journalism, traveling the country and meeting people from disabled farm workers to U.S. Senators. But working in a theme park remains, by far, the most social job I've every held. Every month I worked at the Magic Kingdom was crammed with rich moments that could fill several movies. I was invited to an advance screening of the movie, but could not attend. But I'm looking forward to hearing what Theme Park Insider readers have to say after the movie opens on Friday.
Readers' Opinions
From Derek Potter on April 1, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I'm all about seeing this one. I like most of Judd Apatow's stuff (he at least produces a lot of them) anyway, although I wasn't that into Superbad.
I'll watch even the worst movie if it contains some amusement/theme park scenes. I have an ever growing collection of movies, TV shows, and footage from the past.
From Joshua Counsil on April 2, 2009 at 1:11 AM
Well, it's better exposure than Final Destination 3.
Also, this movie looks great. I loved the opening scene of "Knocked Up", another movie from Judd/Rudd - it features three of my favorite things:
1) Theme parks (Knott's Berry Farm, to be exact)
The next comment I post might be my last on TPI! TMI?
From TH Creative on April 2, 2009 at 6:06 AM
I'm telling you Robert -- as someone who also worked in the Magic Kingdom -- someone could right a decent theme park novel about working at WDW in the 1980s and 1990s.
Hmmmm ...
From Jeff M on April 2, 2009 at 7:20 AM
Always nice to see some kind of amusement/theme park in a movie. I may not rush out to see this one in the theater, but the dollar DVD rental looks good.
My favorite movie which is solely about amusement/theme parks is called "Rollercoaster". The movie came out in 1977 and offered "Sensurround" in the theaters. This meant that large PA speakers were set-up in the theater and the sound was much more intense. This aided in a more realistic sensation to the rides shown. This was also before the newer Dolby Digital sound formats.
The movie had quite a few named stars. George Segal, Richard Widmark, Timothy Bottoms, Henry Ford, and Helen Hunt to name a few.
The plot is about a terrorist who is able to blackmail a series of amusement companies by placing home-made radio controlled bombs in amusement parks, and on roller coasters.
For those who haven't seen this movie, I think it's worth checking out. Keep in mind it is based in the 70's, but does have footage of Kings Dominion, and Six Flags Magic Mountain to name a few parks.
I'm not sure if you can rent it on DVD, but I'm sure a VHS may be available. There is always some scene's on youtube also if anyone is interested.
From Gareth H on April 2, 2009 at 7:51 AM
I saw the trailers for this a while back and definately want to see it. Fingers crossed for this weekend, work permitting!
From Ray Schroeder on April 2, 2009 at 10:17 AM
I can't wait to see this movie. I grew up on Long Island and went to Adverntureland all the time in the 60's,70's and 80's. It's still there and very popular. The rides are geared toward the younger kids and has a carnival atmosphere but it's still a lot of fun. I usually came home with a goldfish.
From Todd Houts on April 2, 2009 at 2:21 PM
Rollercoaster is available on DVD. I owned it. Past tense. I remember loving it when it came out. Didn't hold up very well for me so it didn't stay in my collection. But I'd say it is worth a one-time rental. Add it to your Netflix queues.
From Derek Potter on April 2, 2009 at 8:39 PM
I have Rollercoaster. I also own an episode of The Brady Bunch titled "Cincinnati Kids". It heavily features a newly opened Kings Island. It's pretty cool to see the park then as compared to now.
From Ben James on April 3, 2009 at 8:18 AM
I viewed this movie last night at an advance screening.
First, I want you to know that if you liked Twilight, you'll like this. But, don't expect Kristen Stewart to be as innocent as she was in Twilight.
The film focuses on a college student who is ready to pursue grad school at Columbia when his parents give him the bad news. That his father has been demoted and received a pay cut. Therefore, they can't afford to pay for him to attend school in NYC.
So, reluctantly he gets a job at a local amusement park working in the games department. It is there were he learns that he really isn't much different than many of the others who work there.
Amid the cheesy music and whacked out employees, James (Jesse Eisenberg) meets and falls in love with Em (Kristen Stewart).
This really is a romantic comedy for the Theme park nut, more so the nuts who work in the parks themselves. As many of the inside jokes are laughed at by mostly park employees.
I give this movie a 4.5 out of 5 stars. If you haven't seen a movie in a long time. Than this is definitely a good one to go see.
From Robert Niles on April 3, 2009 at 8:26 AM
My daughter has the entire 'Brady Bunch' series on DVD, and is more excited to go to Kings Island this summer than any other amusement park we will visit. It's amazing how long movie and TV references like that can have promotional power.
From Russell Meyer on April 3, 2009 at 8:54 AM
I caught this at a preview screening on Tuesday, and thought it was an average movie. The performance of Kristen Stewart was very weak and convoluted, and tarnished and reduced the quality of the supporting performances. I really wanted more Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, but their characters took a back seat to the primary love story. The promotion for this movie is advertising this as "from the director of Superbad," and in that respect, many people may walk out of the movie disappointed. There are part of the film that are pretty funny, but a majority that revolves around the central love story I would describe as "artsy."
Where this film succeeds is with its portrayal of Kennywood. The film is set in 1987, and aside from a few shots of Phantom's Revenge in the background, all of the on location shots are very believable and authentic. There are lots of shots of The Racer, Thunderbolt, and Jack Rabbit. One of the running gags revolves around the park's Musik Express flat ride. In general, I was surprised with the amount of location shooting that made the final print, including a scene that was set in a backstage maintenance area.
Theme park fans, especially those who have been to Kennywood, will enjoy this movie, but as a whole, this film just missed the mark for me as a comedy.
From 22.214.171.124 on April 3, 2009 at 10:26 AM
Just because this movie has the back drop of kennywood park does not mean it is a "must see" of amusement park affectionados. I wish the amusement park fans would not show up to see this junk, and force Hollywood to make good films with a Kennywood or amusement park background. This won't happen however. This is what bad film making, bathroom, fart humor, female degredation, gay bashing is all about. Save your $10.00 and save it for the parks this summer. They are going to need our help and support for a potentailly down summer. Skip the traash movie, support the parks.
From Jeff M on April 3, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Thanks for the updated comments to Robert's initial post. Like I said....I'll just wait til the dollar dvd rental to check this one out.
I also wanted to thank those who also posted comments, etc...about the "rollercoaster" movie I spoke about. The updates, etc... were informitive! I only wish to add this thought.....????????????
Imagine......While riding your favorite coaster that you could actually end up dead or truely injured???? Not only does the ride experience thrill you, but add this into the mix and then you truely have a ride to appreciate don't you??? Just a thought, but all riders beware....????
( This is in NO WAY to suggest I'd plant a bomb on ANY coaster, etc....as the 1977 movie Rollercoaster presents!!!)
I only wish to add my scare scense into the equation to see if ANY other might get the same charge out of it???
From 18.104.22.168 on April 4, 2009 at 1:56 PM
It's NOT an amusement park movie and if you all expect that, go rent Rollercoaster.
It was a very predictable "coming of age" style movie that showed Kennywoods Phantoms Revenge, Thunderbolt and Jack Rabbit in glimpses.
It was about family issues, drinking and sexual encounters of an adolescent 21 year old crowd that haven't been to college and all live with their parents.
The best part of this movie was my date.
From Scottland Jacobson on April 4, 2009 at 8:56 PM
I just got back from seeing it and both my date and I enjoyed it. I wouldn't consider it that much of a "theme park movie" - however, some of the gags around the Musik Express and the Horse race game (and the mannequins with hats game - never seen that one) were hilarious. Bill Hader and Kristin Wiig should have gotten more screen time. The part that made me laugh the loudest is when they were running low on googly eyes for the stuffed bananas.
It's a very "real" movie - somewhat depressing. Don't expect bright lights and happy kids. It's more about true post-colleage angst and living in an economically depressed area. All the conversations seemed very real and not Dawson's Creek/Gossip Girl amped up. It is a good movie worth seeing if you go in with the right expectations.

The 4th of July holiday was everything it should have been. Children laughing and eating ice cream... sparklers and little fireworks in the driveway.
Long afternoons reading by the pool (frequently interrupted by wet noodle fights) and walks along the beach at dusk. Sleep and repeat.
We stopped at a farmers market on the long drive home today, I got some fresh peaches (I can actually smell them right now all the way from the kitchen) and real deal North Carolina BBQ sauce to try out in my new pressure cooker this week.
Pinch me.

For many people in this day and age of busy lifestyles, kittens are the perfect pets. They are quite independent and do not need to be cared for or watched 24 hours a day 7 days a week. As they are easily litter trained, there is no need to worry about �accidents� while you have to be away from home. Basically, you just have to put out an adequate amount of food and water for them everyday, clean the litter box and you�re good to go.
The ease of caring for kittens may be a big reason for people choosing them as pets. They offer wonderful companionship, as well. Purebred kittens are sold everywhere, including pet shops and online. Many people prefer to buy their kittens over the internet due to the convenience of shopping from their chairs, as well as being able to communicate easily with the seller or breeder.
If you feel that you must own a purebred kitten, it is important to understand that these kittens do not come cheap. You are paying for a quality pet. In fact, it MAY even be thought of as an investment if you intend to begin breeding kittens yourself. A sweet, beautiful purebred kitten is definitely worth the price, though, no matter how much it may be.
There is another consideration for you if you have your heart set on having a pet kitten, but are a little short on money. Your local animal shelter will be most happy to accommodate you when it comes to providing you with a precious little kitten that so badly needs a home. These kittens are usually on a time table unless they are lucky enough to be in a �no kill� shelter. In these cases, you can feel especially good about your choice of saving a kitten�s life. Most of the time, these kittens are free, but you may have to pay a nominal fee for things such as shots and sterilization. The cost is usually less than $25 and is well worth it to have your very own adorable kitten.
The biggest difference in buying a kitten for sale and getting one through a shelter is knowledge of the kitten�s background. When you buy one from a seller or breeder, you will always get some confirmation that the kitten is all it is said to be. There will be proof provided if it is supposed to be a purebred. Kittens from a shelter may or may not have a known history. If that is something that is important to you, stick with buying your kitten. Otherwise, you may never be fully satisfied with your kitten, and all pet kittens deserve to be loved.

Each year, the City of Sandusky chooses ten residential properties and one commercial property for the annual Pride Results in Desirable Environment (P.R.I.D.E.) Awards.
My topic this week is a citizen winning a public record court case.
Excerpt from the Between the Lines column in the Sunday Register: As the city of Sandusky's labor contracts get set to expire at the end of the year, not one city commissioner has called for concessions or fiscal restraint in contract negotiations.
Late November is my favorite time of year because it means that my favorite holiday is coming up.
Several years ago, Ohio, along with about ten other states, was awarded federal funds for the purpose of providing homeowners mortgage relief under a program known as Hardest Hit. Ohio's share of funds amounted to just under $600 million.
Q: I just broke up with my girlfriend for legitimate reasons. Anyway my best friend is also female. We moved in together along with my girlfriend and my friend and I have grown really close. We have also told each other that we have feelings for one another.
My topic this week is the City of Sandusky suing Erie County.
It is unfortunate that a lawsuit had to be filed. As for the water rate furnished to the county, I don't know how low Sandusky can go with their water rate without giving the water away.
The color yellow has been associated with cowardice. "What are you, yellow?" is a term I can remember from several cartoons and westerns growing up. But the color yellow at Shawnee Elementary School in Huron couldn't be any more opposite than cowardice. Yellow at Shawnee symbolizes courage.
The Sandusky city commission police chief search committee ignored city charter requirements during its selection process and recommended three candidates for the job who could not lawfully be appointed.

Here are some of the latest health and medical news
developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Leukemia Claims Life Of 11-Year-Old 'Lion King' Actress
An 11-year-old girl who starred on Broadway in "The Lion King"
died from leukemia Monday afternoon.
Shannon Tavarez, who played the young lion Nala in the hit
musical, died at Cohen Children's Medical Center in Hyde Park, Long
Island, said Katharina Harf, co-founder of the bone marrow donor
center DKMS, the
Associated Press reported.
A perfect bone marrow match for Tavarez could not be found, even
though a massive publicity campaign resulted in the registration of
10,000 potential donors. As an alternative, Tavarez underwent an
umbilical cord blood transplant in August.
Her illness forced Tavarez to quit "The Lion King" in April. She
had shared the role of Nala with another girl and performed four
shows a week for six months, the
AP reported.
Baby Born To 10-Year-Old Girl In Spain
A baby born to a 10-year-old girl in southern Spain is in good
health, but officials are deciding whether to allow the mother and
her family to retain custody of the newborn.
The father of the baby, born last week in the city of Jerez de
la Frontera, is also a minor, said Micaela Navarro, the social
affairs minister in Andalusia, the
Associated Press reported.
The mother of the baby is of Romanian origin, according to
Spanish newspapers. Medical personnel who attended the girl said
her mother told them that giving birth at such a young age is
common in their country, the daily
Diario de Jerez reported.
Because they're still growing, young girls are at higher risk
for problems during pregnancy, according to medical experts, the
AP reported.
Discovery May Lead To New Antiviral Drugs
An important discovery may lead to the development of new
antiviral drugs to treat illnesses such as the common cold and
gastroenteritis, say U.K. scientists.
It's long been thought that immune system antibodies could only
combat viral infections by blocking or attacking viruses when they
were outside cells. But the Medical Research Council team found
that antibodies can enter cells and fight viruses from within,
BBC News reported.
"Doctors have plenty of antibiotics to fight bacterial infections but few antiviral drugs," said study author Dr. Leo James. "Although these are early days, and we don't yet know whether all viruses are cleared by this mechanism, we are excited that our discoveries may open multiple avenues for developing new antiviral drugs."
The scientists emphasized that it will take years of research
and testing to develop new antiviral treatments,
BBC News reported.
The study appears in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Alcohol Bigger Threat Than Cocaine or Heroin: Study
A new study concludes that alcohol is more dangerous overall
than illegal drugs such as crack cocaine and heroin.
British researchers evaluated the dangers that a number of
substances -- including alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy, heroin and
cocaine -- posed to individuals and society as a whole, the
Associated Press reported.
Heroin, crack cocaine and methamphetamine (crystal meth) were
found to be most dangerous to individuals. Alcohol, heroin and
crack cocaine cause the most damage to society as a whole, the
researchers said.
Overall, alcohol was the most dangerous, followed by heroin and
crack cocaine. Marijuana, ecstasy and LSD scored lower in terms of
overall harm.
The study, funded by Britain's Center for Crime and Justice
Studies, was published online Monday in
The Lancet, the
AP reported.

Topic - Squamish Beta
snoop6060 - on 11 Jun 2013
I'm putting together a rough plan to get ready for a trip to squamish in September. A few questions for anyone's that been.
1) Is there any point in making grade comparisons? I cannot really get my head around the american system, but am trying to work out routes to aim for. I climb upto E4 normally....a bit harder on bolts (7b ish) would this put the grand wall in my sights?
2) Is it all predominately jamming and laybacking? I am not that bad at cracks, but am far better at face climbing. May have to get some crack training planned.
3) What classic routes are worth a look at? Interested in some long easy ones too.
4) Is Squamish expensive? THe normal barrometer for me is the price of a pint...how much is a pint?
5) I'm gonna get spanked right?!
6) Would a double rack of camelots, and double rack of master cams and various sizes of wires generally suffice? And a 70m single? We could also take 50m halfs possibly.
Any thing else I need to know, like how to avoid getting eaten by a bear, let me know.
Cheers, Si

Over the Labor Day holiday weekend, I found myself in Koreatown in New York City at 4 a.m. on a Monday. I really wanted watermelon soju, but forgetting it was Sunday, by the time we arrived in Koreatown everything was closing at 3 a.m. But we stumbled upon a couple of restaurants that were 24 hours. You've got to love New York City for this. I was going through a serious withdrawal of Korean food.
Although I am a broke grad student, the prices were pretty decent at New Wonjo Korean Restaurant, still not in my broke budget and not as cheap as in South Korea, but it was good enough. We ordered Bulgogi Jungol and a bottle of soju. The soju was $13 a bottle, which in Korea it is about 3,000 won, which is $3 U.S. dollars. Overall the food was scrumptious as I thought it would be and the soju was from California,not the Korean brand I was hoping it be and not as strong. I didn't even finish all the food and thought I was going to explode.
Koreatown was an enjoyable experience and seeing many young Koreans and hearing the Korean language made it seem like I was back in Seoul. I will be making many more trips to Koreatown in New York City and the next trip I hope to bring the Korean students who participated in the BIP program this summer with me while they are studying here in the United States now.

Well, I am going this summer and I am a Premiere Passholder, so I may be a tad biased!! ;)
Cars Land looks extremely well themed and the attention to detail from the pics I have seen are incredible, I would love to check it out one day.
I'm mixed on the idea of admitting passholders to Magic Mornings at DCA. What's the benefit for Disney? I think it should be pointed out that if this policy is just for the summer months then it will really only benefit Premier, Premium and Deluxe passholders since the Southern California passes are blocked out for the majority of the summer.
Personally, I think it's time for Disney to create more differentiation between the different passes. Universal Orlando rewards their Premier passholders and Disneyland Resort does not. I would like to see them start by eliminating the park hopping privilege on the Southern California passes. If Disney California Adventure is now worthy of being a second gate, then don't give away the gate and starting with the lowest passholders would make a statement to either upgrade or learn to enjoy one park per visit.
I also think the anticipated crowds are a bit overstated. Don't take that the wrong way, there will be a lot of interest and I expect record attendance for DCA, but I think the two parks will handle the increased interest without showing it.
That's not proof. Its laziness to not verify if your claim is true. You can certainly go back to 11/26/2011 at the front page of Miceage. If you go to the Forum, you can go back much further.
But rumor sites should be taken for what it is. Rumors are not guaranteed. How the heck is 50/50 a poor showing?
I also think getting into - and onto - Cars Land and its attractions will not be - well, a walk in the park, especially if you want to ride more than Rad Springs Racers. These are both reported to be low capacity rides and this bothers me as I'm not a passholder at present and I fondly remember the Flying Saucers. *sigh*
One of these days...
I would also observe that after reading Lutz for 15 years, he gets it right more than 50%. It is important to understand the nature of a rumour site. It is, perhaps, more important to bear in mind that things are very fluid in the development stage, so even if he reports on something that doesn't happen, that doesn't mean it wasn't discussed and considered. If he'd reported in the 60s that Disney was going to have a walk through haunted house with an attached Museum of the Weird, that would have been true. That WAS the plan at one time. But, plans change.

This is a very classy salad and very easy to prepare. I suppose you won't like it if you don't like the greens of which it is made but if the bitter greens concept is not a deal-breaker then I think this is a great salad for any occasion. Definitely good for company.
Tricolor Bitter Greens Salad
AltheaVet Posted: 02/04/09
patslp Posted: 05/02/09
Made exactly as stated; used walnut oil. The dressing is so good, I could use it with other salads too. The dish is so easy and quick to prepare; ingredients are a little more costly but worth it. A couple of two gets two nights of salad with this. I plan to use it for entertaining, pot lucks, celebrations, and whenever I want a perk for the family. Looks colorful and classy.
Belladonna714 Posted: 11/02/09
What a delicious salad. The only changes I made was to the greens. I used arugula, curly leaf lettuce and romaine, (I'm not a big fan of bitter greens). It doesn't much matter though, it's the dressing thats fabulous! Use which ever greens you like. I will be maikng this a staple in my house.

Nissan has confirmed that it plans to sell electric vehicles in the US by 2010. According to CEO Carlos Ghosn, the move is largely motivated by stringent emissions legislation in California, lending an added impetus to www.marthawashingtoninn.com existing research efforts into alternative energy sources.
The same technology will also be available by partner Renault in Europe by 2012. However, although developed in tandem, it is buy generic levitra online unlikely that the viagra online pharmacy no prescription cars will be identical. Instead, there will be different applications, depending on the brand image and buy cheap ultram online no prescription target markets across the two regions.
At this stage it's unclear how the new cars will look. Nissan's most recent example of EV technology was the quirky looking Pivo-2 concept car, sporting a novel rotating cabin for all-round visibility. Powered by electric motors and Li-ion batteries, it boasted a 60 mile range and was capable of speeds up to 70mph.
However, it's more likely that the forthcoming models will have more in common with the Smart car sized hyper-mini concept showcased in 2006, the Nissan Mixim concept (pictured) or the fuel cell and electric motor version of its X-trail SUV.
