Pitted Dates
Certified: Gluten-Free Kosher
A delicious date containing no pits. These deglet noor dates are ideal for baking and great just to pop in your mouth.
Health Tips
2. Dates provide essential vitamins and minerals - such as B-complex vitamins, magnesium and iron. Only a handful of dates - five or six - will help you meet your 5-A-Day goal for fruit.
3. A handful of dates will help you meet the 5-A-Day goal. Five to six delicious California dates or a cup of chopped dates equals one serving. Great tasting, power-packed California dates are part of the USDA Pyramid's food group. Eating California dates can help you achieve the recommended goal for fruit servings each day.
4. The American Cancer Society recommends that you consume 20-35 grams of dietary fiber a day. Dietary fiber comes in two forms - soluble and insoluble. Each serves a valuable function. Insoluble fiber increased the rate at which food moves through the digestive system. Soluble fiber may help control diabetes by decreasing elevated blood glucose levels. Soluble fiber also had been found to help lower serum cholesterol levels, particularly undesirable loud density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. California dates are a good source of dietary fiber. A serving of power-packed California dates - just 5 to 6 six dates - can provide 3 grams of dietary fiber. That's 14 percent of your recommended daily value.
5. A serving of power-packed California dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates, making them a powerhouse of energy. Carbohydrates include 3 grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose and sucrose to provide quick energy and are readily used by the body. California dates are a perfect energy boosting snack.
6. Ounce per ounce, pound for pound, California dates are one of the best natural sources of potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral your body needs to maintain muscle contractions including the vital heart muscle. Potassium is needed to maintain a healthy nervous system and to balance the body's metabolism. Since potassium is not stored in the body, and much is lost in perspiration, it must be continually replenished. As you consume potassium you excrete sodium, helping to keep blood pressure down. As people age, their kidneys become less efficient at eliminating sodium. About a 400 mg increase in potassium intake has been associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of stroke. This roughly amounts to one additional serving daily of California dates.
7. Eating California dates and drinking water is an ideal, natural way to replenish the potassium. A serving of California dates contain 240 milligrams of potassium or 7% of the recommended daily value. Bite for bite, they have three times the amount of potassium as bananas!
8. California dates contain a variety of B-complex vitamins - thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B-6 and pantothenic acid. These vitamins have a variety of functions that help maintain a healthy body - to metabolize carbohydrates and maintain blood glucose levels, fatty acids for energy, and they help make hemoglobin, the red and white blood cells.
9.Magnesium is essential for healthy bone development and for energy metabolism. One serving of California dates provides 4% of the suggested daily intake of magnesium. Iron is essential to red blood cell production. Red blood cells carry all the nutrients to cells throughout the body. One serving of California dates contains nearly a third of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for iron.

"Your delivery service is excellent.
Knowing that these days are the busiest days of delivery services I received the package in 3 days. Thank you."
Kathleen, Cicero, Illinois December 13, 2012
"I was looking for macadamia nuts since they can be difficult to find in the supermarkets. The testimonials on the website convinced me to give Nuts.com a chance. I was not disappointed. Delivery was super fast. The nuts were fresh and tasty. The dried fruit was sweet and plump. You even get a free sample. So of course, I placed a second order and I will definitely order again. Oh and your boxes are hilarious!"
Brenda, Monroe, LA December 1, 2012
"Hard to find large quantities of dried fruits in our area. Ordered on a Sunday evening and it came in just a few days. Fast, easy and products ordered came well packaged. Looking forward to using all my dried figs, dates and raisins in our Italian cookies. Keeping our grandmother's tradition going! Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year."

"Just received my Happy order from the Nut.com family! Thankyou, it was a pleasure right from the start. I did have my reservations. Using my family fruitcake recipe, only the finest would do! Can"t wait to start our family tradition, which now includes ya"ll! Again,thankyou,the fruits are lovely and so fresh. Friends & family will be shared this secret..S. May"
Ralph, Catlett, Virginia September 18, 2012
"Every year I make homemade fruit cakes that people will kill for. For the past 2 years, I have used cherries, pineapple wedges, raisins, and dates from your company. The quality of these products have enhanced my cakes, especially the candied cherries which are much larger that those purchased at the major food stores. But best of all is the price; I'm getting more "bang" for my bucks as I can buy a pound of the candied fruit for the price of a quarter pound at the major food chains."
Bryan, Waterloo Iowa September 18, 2012
"These were the best price around."
Linda, Jacksonville, Florida September 6, 2012
"Yep, got here this morning and already tried out, you are right yummy. Can't beat those dates. I'll be ordering more pretty soon. Don't ever change."
Morgan, Jeffersonville, IN September 6, 2012
"I will gradly reply to these dates they are the best, and i just made some date syrup. delicious and sweet as any syrup. LOVE YOU. Thanks the order came on time also will order more soon."

Anderson Germany already amazed us with some impressive tuning packages - Gallardo Balboni orFerrari California are just two examples. And the latest one they have revealed for the Porsche Panamera is no exception. The package is based on the Panamera 4S version and includes interior and exterior updates, but also a significant 85 HP power increase.
Called Black Edition, the Anderson Panamera is all about black color, on both exterior and interior. The exterior is colored in a complete satin black painting combined with a new set of 22" wheels painted in black with red-painted brake calipers. On the interior the package adds carbon leather and black Alcantara with red trim and diamond seams.
For the engine update, Anderson Germany is offering an exhaust system with Rennkats and software optimization. Both of them offer an increase from a total of 400 to 485 HP.
Hit the jump to read more about the Porsche Panamera by Anderson Germany.
The exterior and the interior
The exterior package includes a new front apron, a set of side skirts, rear apron and spoiler. The headlamps were replaced by quasi-evil eye with LED daytime running lights. The entire body is painted in satin black contrasting with glossy black on the mirrors, grille, door handles, logos, tailgate and window frames.
For the interior the tuner is offering ergonomically sculptured, exclusive sports steering wheel and carbon trims on the steering wheel, front and rear center console and door sills.
The engine
A standard Panamera 4S is powered by a V8 engine with a total output of 400 HP. But Anderson Germany is offering an exhaust system with Rennkats and software optimization. The result is an impressive 485 HP. But, if this update is just too much for you, the tuner is also offering you the possibility to add just 17 HP thanks to the addition of a three-way remote-controlled valve.
The competition
Ever since its official launch back in 2009 Panamera saw lots of tuning packages. Just a few days ago TechArt revealed the GrandGT Carbon Fiber edition that increased the power to an impressive 581 HP. Edo Competition also received a power update based on the Turbo version that increases the total output to an impressive 750 HP.
A standard Panamera 4S is priced at $94,700. While Anderson announced no prices for their package, expect to pay at least another $30k for the entire tuning kit.
- Cool exterior and interior color combination
- Impressive engine update
- Cool wheels
- We are not very impressed on the center console

He was asked before the draft about rumors that Dorsey was moving to the nose. Pioli didn't confirm or deny those rumors, he just talked about the versatility of Dorsey, calling him "a unique player" with the "physical skill and body type to play numerous positions." When asked specifically about nose tackle, Pioli again didn't say yes or no. "He can do a lot of different things," Pioli said.
That's kept the chatter up that Dorsey who doesn't quite fit the 3-4 scheme at DE, might move to the other position on the line, one he seems even less suited for physically. If that doesn't seem to make sense, then join the club. At 6-1, and just under 300 pounds, Dorsey is not the classic nose tackle for the 3-4 defense.
But Dorsey says the talk about whether he's a zero tackle, a three-technique guy or a five-technique guy misses the point.
"I really don't think there's that much of a difference between the positions on the defensive line," said Dorsey. "I think too much is made of that. There are some different keys and different reads, but it's all football and it's all defense. Inside the game's a little faster, but you still have to use your hands and your feet.
"Whatever they decide to do, I'm with it."
Does Dorsey Know Nose? … Thursday Cup O'Chiefs-BobGretz.com
"You've got to learn to play with real good technique with some of those bulk positions, where when you're real big and heavy you can get away with things and can be lazy, play a little more upright," Haley said. "I just believe for guys to play four quarters and be at their best, they've got to be at a weight that suits them."
His team seems to finally agree.
Collectively, the Chiefs are in much better shape than a year ago. Instead of hounding players for being winded, Haley is able to concentrate on teaching technique.
This growth-without-girth has created a feeling of solidarity around the locker room and on the field, enhanced by Vrabel and guard Brian Waters showing up for the voluntary workouts.
Those two veterans were no-shows except for the mandatory workouts last year, Vrabel because he wasn't thrilled about being traded from New England, Waters because of a didn't-go-so-well meeting with Haley shortly after the coach was hired.
Vrabel and Waters are not only here, they're front and center, leading the team in the weight room, on the field, creating a bond they hope will carry into the season.
Football, not flubber: Chiefs show up in shape, buying in to coach Todd Haley's philosophy-Los Angeles Times
KCTV5 announced on Wednesday that former Chiefs Pro Bowl QB Trent Green and "Voice of the Missouri Tigers" Mike Kelly will serve as the broadcast team for the Chiefs Television Network in 2010.
Anchored by KCTV5, the Chiefs Television Network is scheduled to broadcast all Chiefs preseason games in HD to 10 affiliates in a five-state region. KCTV5 Sports Director Michael Coleman will handle the sideline reports for the Chiefs preseason telecasts.
"KCTV is proud to once again be the home of the Kansas City Chiefs and the flagship station of the Chiefs Television Network," KCTV5 Vice President and General Manager Bobby Totsch said. "I am very pleased that we were able to put together an experienced broadcast team that will provide Chiefs fans an inside view of the game that they can't get anywhere else."
KCTV5 Unveils Broadcast Team For Chiefs Preseason Games-KCTV5
The biggest question the Chiefs need to answer over the next few years is who is capable of being "the guy." I walked into the 2009 season believing that Dwayne Bowe was poised to be that guy and that Todd Haley would get him there. I walked out of the season with a completely different impression. More and more, Bowe seems to be a receiver who can make a really big play and then miss a few easy ones. That worries me a lot. Here's how I'd break it down: if the Chiefs are a Super Bowl contender in a few years, do you want Bowe to be the target of a pass on a key third down in the AFC Championship game? Right now, the thought makes me wince because I almost feel like there's a 50/50 shot the ball will bounce off of his hands.
Adding Chris Chambers last season was a blessing in disguise for several reasons. First, he was a surprisingly good stopgap in 2009. I don't see any reason why he won't be in 2010 too. Second, he should hopefully have beChiefs Offseason Grades: Chiefs' Receivers Aplenty en a wake-up call for Bowe. Before Chambers came to the Chiefs, it seemed like a convenient excuse to blame Bowe's lack of production on an unfair situation, lack of chemistry with the Quarterback, and perhaps a new offensive scheme. Chambers blew those excuses out of the water. He didn't take weeks to get in sync with Cassel. He didn't take a long time to learn the offense. He just did his job and he did it pretty well. He got open, he positioned his body to make the tough catches, and with the exception of a big drop against Buffalo, he caught most of the easy ones too.

Welcome To the Punch (2013)

Plain and simple I loved the film. Jeopardy,plot twists, excitement and engaging. Great entertainment great film.

Saw this at a pre-scrrening + Q&A with director and Mark Strong. The NYT review is a bit harsh: there are a lot of movies out there that are worse than WTTP. The good sides: it is quite beautifully shot, also using some areas of London that are not often in movies. Performances are good - Mark Strong in particular, but also James McAvoy, who is always reliable and is showing he can carry a movie (see the upcoming Trance). Their two characters had a lot of potential, in my opinion. The bad: the director is so enamored with the classics of the genre that he basically copied bits and pieces from them, leaving the plot behind. He actually explained during the Q&A that they initially had a version of the movie with more dialogue and more exploration of the two main characters' back stories, but then he cut all of that out to give space to the action.... Big mistake, in my view.
Anyway- WTTP is not a bad movie. But I would only recommend it to people who like cops & robbers action movies.

To Loco:
NO! Do NOT add timing to your macros! If Blizzard wanted to allow timed macros, they would have. People have been banned for G15 Keyboards for stuff simple as /cast /wait2s /cast Just don't do it! I rarely use the macro keys at all on mine.
I have a G15(old version with 18 buttons) and the LCD plug in that comes with it (yeah!) for WoW scrolls through your ability scores and shows the names of incoming whispers. Totally useless, just read the whisper? The 2 features that actually make this Keyboard stand out (that the OP totally missed) are a "windows" key that you can lock out for gaming, and light up keys. so-so really.
If you are going to spend $100 on a hardware peripheral, don't get this. Get an MX100 Laser mouse. 5 extra bindings for your RIGHT hand. Way more useful. Would be nice if you could bind the mouse wheel side-to-side scrolling on it, but the software doesn't allow. That's my only complaint with it.
Another gadget that blows the G15 out of the water is the Egrodex (www.ergodex.com - I think these are being made under another name right now, but can't recall the new brand name. Look around if you wanna buy one) I had one of these shipped to me (get the extra 25 buttons) Makes any other game pad obsolete. Totally reconfigureable, moveable buttons. Link below is a pic of my setup, you will notice the G15 is MASSIVE. I'm gonna toss it and get something sleeker.

How old was the oldest woman you've banged? Late-thirties? Early-forties? If that has been your limit in the past, why not bag yourself a superbly experienced fifty-something? 50 Plus MILFs is an attempt on the part of Score Group to prove that women who've lived half a century need not be ashamed of their still-effervescent sexualities; they should embrace them and preferably do it on camera so 50 Plus MILFs' members can endlessly study their moves, their bodies, their erogenous zones, and every damn pixel of the HD videos 50 Plus MILFs provides. It's not the most excellent attempt, no, but it's fun to watch these soon-to-be or recently-turned grannies get off in true hardcore Score fashion, that's for sure.

50 Plus MILFs review | Mr. Pink's Porn Reviews
MrPinks.com review date - 06/29/2012
Reaching the age of 40 used mean you considered "over the hill" and into your middle-age years. It meant slowing down a little, taking stock of your life and maybe realigning your priorities. By the time you hit 50, you were just flat-out old. Nowadays, however, 40 is barely older than 30, which is barely older than 25, which is basically the new 21, which in turn is now considered equivalent to 18 by many folks. Where does that put the aging beauties of 50 Plus MILFs but right in the middle of the "getting on in years but still totally faceable" phase of ones life. 50 Plus MILFs comes to you from the same folks behind 40 Something Mag and 60 Plus MILFs, catering to those porn fans who haven't yet come to terms with masturbating to images of someone likely older than their mother, but still fancy women most players pass over in favor of younger pussy. With a bold tour area showcasing yard after yard of slightly wrinkled, but nonetheless inviting flesh, and promises of High Definition hardcore sex videos featuring women "Old enough to know better, horny enough not to care," 50 Plus MILFs seems pretty strong on the outside. Inside, however, could be a different story. You've got two options here, dudes: fork over some cold, hard cyber-cash to find out for yourself whether 50 Plus MILFs does its aging models proud, or follow along as Mr. Pink examines the ins and outs of the only Score Group site to focus on quinquagenarians.
The women of 50 Plus MILFs are, well, 50 Plus MILFs. They're not only sexually mature and extremely experienced, but they're also remarkably attractive - well, most of them. As only the more seasoned MILF-watchers will recognize some familiar faces - Bea Cummmins or Lola Lee anyone? - most of the models will be pleasant surprises to most viewers.
One of the few Score Group sites to actually deliver on its promise of High Definition videos, 50 Plus MILFs' latest A/V endeavors hit a resolution ceiling of 1280x720 pixels (a.k.a.: 720p) and look pretty damn good! Also showing some decent levels of detail and strong colors are the recent photo updates, each providing members with 600px and 1200px images that can be viewed online or off, thanks to the available zips.
You might be expected women over fifty to take it pretty easy when strengthening their porn-related resume. On the contrary, the girls of 50 Plus MILFs do anything but relax, throwing themselves pussy-first into hardcore slam-fests that include everything from deepthroat blowjobs and messy facial splattering to threesomes, anal sex, and even some more daring activities that are for me to know and 50 Plus MILF members to find out.
Instead of paying the usual monthly price of either $29.99 for recurring or $39.99 for single-month membership, Mr. Pink has seen to it that his loyal readership pay just $19.95, saving a whole shitload of digital dimes in the process! Oh yeah, and as if it wasn't already obvious, your 50 Plus MILFs membership also gets you inside 60 Plus MILFs; you know, just in case you need more wrinkles.
It's an unfortunate fact of porno life that any site dealing with women of advanced ages is bound to have in its model roster quite a few less than gorgeous ladies. 50 Plus MILFs is not exempt from this rule and features appearances by models who, it must be said, won't be winning Miss Mature Idaho without some top-notch makeup work.
The designation "50 Plus" doesn't exclude 60-somethings, 70-somethings, or even 90-somethings, which means the women you'll be ogling here are at least fifty, but could be any age at all beyond that point. Since 60 Plus MILFs also exists, how about keeping the models on each site within the one decade?
50 Plus MILFs doesn't appear to be operating on the strictest of schedules. Videos are added on an almost weekly basis, with the occasional week passing by without any activity, and photo galleries are added anywhere from five to twenty days after the last arrival. Needless to say, this keeps the content count down and is more than a tad displeasing.
40 Something Mag and Score's newest 'mature' site, MILF Tugs would be perfect additions to the 50 Plus MILFs and 60 Plus MILFs membership package. There's always plenty of content scattered around the various Score Group websites and a common complain in the lack of full networked access. This is a prime example of how Score's package deals could be improved.
Of all the Score Group websites, 50 Plus MILFs is certainly one of the most stable, what with its High Definition videos actually existing and a well established niche in which to dwell. The site certainly isn't overly large, holding less than 150 scenes, but the addition of 60 Plus MILFs eases that frustration… but not entirely. The layout and design of 50 Plus MILFs makes finding your way around quite a chore even with only 148 scenes online. It's great to see some older women (even older than most "MILFs") have a chance to prove their pornographic worth, I just wish the site was put together in a more accessible, enjoyable way. Regular updates would be nicer than the schedule-shirking updates of late and the model roster could - don't kill me. ladies! - be trimmed a tad, keeping the less haggard women - please don't kill me, ladies! - in order to maximize the likelihood you'll keep watching any scene you start. Much like those in the age group it showcases, 50 Plus MILFs has plenty to offer, but it doesn't deliver with regularity or exceptional quality and that makes it something of a hard sell.

Entries should demonstrate the contribution toward regeneration of areas or cities that are intended to be achieved. Judges will look for how proposals respect the existing built environment, as well as what is proposed in relation to strategic issues including transport and sustainability.
Entries in this category will generally involve large-scale cultural developments, where culture of the arts can have a positive impact upon the lives of those situated nearby. Judges will be looking for evidence on how these projects can go a long way to improving external perceptions of an area, as well as providing environmental, economic and social benefits.
This category is for buildings and groups of buildings with a genuine mix of uses (not one predominant use and a tiny amount of another). Judges will be interested in how the whole adds up to more than the sum of the parts, and how the mix of uses is integrated into a successful overall design.
Entries in this category can be speculative or for owner-occupation. In either case, judges will be looking for evidence of how the proposal enhances its immediate environment, as well as how the design will create a decent environment in which workplace productivity can flourish.
This category covers projects of significant urban design quality, where a new building or buildings are being placed in a sensitive existing/historic setting. Judges will be interested in respect for context combined with high design quality in respect of the new element.
Entries in this category will generally involve large-scale residential developments, where generations of inhabitants will enjoy a well planned new or renewed environment. Judges will be looking for evidence of how the project will work in the round and why it will last.
Entries should comprise a single dwelling, groups of houses, or single/grouped apartment blocks. Judges will be looking for convincing site planning, contribution to the local environment, and elegance of appearance.
Shopping centre developments, department stores, significant shops (or groups of shops), hotels, spas, bars/restaurants and other tourist attractions are welcome in this category, which may also include a mix of uses where leisure is the primary driver. Judges will be interested in the potential customer experience, as well as intelligent planning and striking display.
Sporting facilities, particularly stadiums, are a significant element in many urban schemes. Judges will be looking for designs where the experience of sport is matched by the experience of the development as a whole.

FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons will host their third annual Fan Appreciation Day at this Sunday's season finale against the Carolina Panthers at the Georgia Dome.
The Falcons are awarding and distributing a number of items for the fans in attendance. The first 50,000 fans to enter the Dome will receive red and black "Rise Up" bracelets compliments of the Falcons and one lucky fan will receive a $10,000 shopping spree compliments of Tara Fine Jewelers.
There will be numerous fan appreciation videos on the stadium Jumbotron from Falcons players thanking fans for their strong support in 2010.
"This is a way for the Falcons to thank our fans for their tremendous support this season," said Falcons chief marketing officer Jim Smith. "For the third year in-a-row, we have dedicated the final regular season home game to our fans and salute them for the outstanding support we have received."
Other items that will be given away to fans on Sunday include:

DOL, Don't you think D3 deserves something from the Falcons or AJC for all his work on the Birdcage? Maybe comp. season tickets? Love your blog, keep up the great work.

Winning will show us more appreciation than any gift certificate.

D3 doesn't deserve sh!t.

B4, you must have been banned, lol. That reason alone, keeping idiots like you out of the cage, is reason enough.

I agree with gabeaux, winning would be the best appreciation gift… even though a something extra would not hurt either!
Love you ATL FALCONS!

The Class of Messr.s Blank, Dimitroff and Smith continue to shine. Thank you for three glorious years. This is something never before experienced in the annals of Pro Football in Atlanta. Three straight winning seasons, two of them punctuated by playoff appearances, and this team did not back into the playoffs one time. They went in the front door, and this year, they could go all the way! Thank you, Falcon organization. Putting a team that's worthy of a city's adulation on the field week in and week out is what is known as true fan appreciation.
January 1st, 2011
9:40 am
All our team has to do to show their appreciation is win! Don't distract them at this time of year with making "thank you" videos. We know they appreciate us. They know we appreciate them. The task at hand is beating the Panthers and controlling our own destiny. How many times have we been in that position?
That said, Fan Appreciation Day is a classy move by the organization. Look at the character of this team from top to bottom, and it's obvious we are becomming the class of the NFC and soon the entire NFL. I couldn't be prouder of our Falcons. I'll be there Sunday watching our final regular season victory. God bless you boys. Just Win Baby!
January 1st, 2011
10:31 am
you really want to show appreciation to the fans? how about NOT blaring obnoxiously loud music between every play?
how about doing away with those stupid games\giveaways that nobody cares about?
how about just focusing on football?
January 1st, 2011
11:45 am
Focusing on football? You mean like back in the '70's?
You know, back when they let the men play and hit the QB?
Count me in.
January 1st, 2011

Falcon Poppa: "… it's obvious we are becomming the class of the NFC and soon the entire NFL."
Hahahahahahahahahahaha…are you serious? Or just hung over from last night?

Ditto, Falcons, ditto.
Go Falcons!!!
January 2nd, 2011

I agree with "The Dogkiller Returns". We lost because we were too timid with Brees. Man up, start tackling and hurting people! This girl wants to see people taken off the field in body bags!!
January 2nd, 2011
10:02 am
We didn't lose because of not hitting Brees, we lost because the Saints were always open and catching the ball when Brees threw it. No coverage = caught balls and first downs all the time.
January 2nd, 2011

D3 is the man. He deserves some BIG TIME APPRECIATION!

Mysterious Island

American Profile
April 11, 2012

Starring Josh Hutcherson, Vanessa Hudgens, Dwayne Johnson & Michael Caine • Directed by Brad Peyton • PG, 94 min.
When the pioneering French sci-fi novelist Jules Verne was writing his mid-1800s yarns about trips to the moon, under-the-sea explorations and journeys to the center of the Earth, he had no idea one of his stories would eventually be played out by a slab of beefcake strumming a ukulele and bouncing bits of fruit off his chest.
But that's exactly what happens in "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," a modern-day adventure-comedy romp featuring an unlikely group of explorers who find themselves flung ashore on the mythical isle Verne wrote about in 1874, a place where things that are usually small grow huge, like bees and ants and flowers, and things that are typically large, like elephants, are pint-sized, among other marvels.
And Dwayne Johnson, the former professional wrestler once known as The Rock, leads the way. At one point, he plinks out a song on a ukulele. That's after he boing-boings berries off his pecs, like some sort of upper-torso trampoline, but before he jump-starts a 150-year-old submarine by harpooning a giant electric eel.
And somewhere along the way, he socks a monstrous lizard right in the kisser. "Time for the ol' thunder cookie," he says, limbering up his tattooed, slab-like triceps.
It's all in the high-spirited fun of this fluffy, family-friendly concoction of tropical-flavored action, chuckles and puppy love, stirred with generous 3-D computer-generated effects, sprinkled with a dollop of science and literary lore, and topped with a cherry about the bond between parents and their kids. It falls far short of cinematic art but goes down pretty well with a box of popcorn and modest expectations, especially if you're looking for something younger kids will enjoy and parents can endure.
And it's got an interesting cast, a sort of something-for-everyone assortment that looks like the onscreen equivalent of a candy sampler. On one end, there's the venerable Michael Caine, an actor so actor-ly he's been nominated for an Academy Award at least once in every decade since the 1960s. He plays the Jules Verne-obsessed, off-the-grid grandfather whose shortwave signal brings the rest of the expedition to the remote South Pacific island.
Luis Guizmán, who'll look familiar from dozens of roles in other movies and TV shows, is a charter helicopter pilot with a constant flow of comic patter. Former "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens is his gorgeous teenage daughter, who provides some romantic sparks for the movie's other teenage character, played by Josh Hutcherson. Reprising his role from 2008's "Journey to the Center of the Earth," for which this movie is a kinda-sorta follow-up, Hutcherson has another flick, and a much bigger one, also in theaters now: "The Hunger Games." But he's actually a whole lot looser, and looks like he's having a lot more fun, in this one.
Come early and you'll see a real rarity: a pre-show Warner Bros. cartoon, just like they used to screen before movies in a bygone era. This one's computer-generated, but it features two old combatants, Daffy Duck and hunter Elmer Fudd, in an all-new, zippy escapade that riffs on their longstanding comic antagonism.
And if you stay for the credits, you'll hear the Johnson singing the full version of the classic Sam Cooke song, "What a Wonderful World," that he performs only partially in the movie. It's a full-on, bopping, big band version, and Johnson really swings it. Yes, really!
How'd they link a singing wrestler, a British acting icon, a visionary French writer, a couple of classic cartoon characters, giant bees and teeny elephants, "High School Musical," Sam Cooke and "The Hunger Games" into the same movie? Ah, that's just another of the mysteries...of The Mysterious Island!

Chapter 176 Reviews
Rose's POV:
When I awoke the next day, no one bothered to even acknowledge my existence except for Party Poison. Even my own sister was starting to become distant, and Jet's usual cheer was rare and fake-sounding.
That was all changing today. I knew it. "Morning, Gift," Poison said sleepily, rubbing his eyes and yawning. He used to be a lot shyer, but after last night, I guessed we had reached a silent understanding that we were now best friends.
"Hey," I said, not tired at all.
I spent about an hour getting all ready, doing my makeup extra-pretty, braiding my hair (I was definitely getting the hang of that), and picking my outfit (my usual pink-and-black ensemble didn't fit with my "pretty" makeup today). I didn't have any clothes out here though (obviously); all of my clothes were in my room at BLI. I'd change there.
No one bothered to say goodbye. I was a little shocked; it was as if I was dead to them. Fun Ghoul, who had confessed to me that he had loved Atomic Jumper before he told any of the others, wasn't looking at me at all. I had thought that would have made us at least acquaintances, but no.
Grace eyed my hair, and I could almost see the pang of hurt on her face. I was useless; they had no idea why I was still hanging around with them. I had not served my purpose as being their eyes and ears. And yet, I still didn't understand why my own sister was giving me the cold shoulder. She opened her mouth to say something, but closed it quickly.
That's what I thought.
I continued walking, passing Party Poison. I heard his breath catch in his throat, and felt a little thrill of excitement. What was wrong with me?!
"You look...nice," he said. "What's the occasion?"
I pursed my lips. "It's for Korse. Today's the day I'm going to that Kiljun." 'Kiljun' was the word we had invented for the Killjoy Dungeon. Predictably, everyone's head snapped up.
"Wh-really?" Ghoul said. I nodded stiffly. I didn't really want to talk to any of them right now.
"Bye," I muttered to them all.
His fist connected with my head. No surprises there. "How many times do I have to tell you? NO!!" he screamed. My prettiness hadn't helped one bit, even though I was wearing a white sweetheart-neckline dress and white shoes. Although I thought I looked precious, he remained a douche.
"Please?" I said weakly. His answer was another hit.
I felt something swelling inside me, something white-hot that wanted to place its hands around the bastard's neck.
"Give me a good reason," I snapped. I wasn't going to take this anymore. No matter what the guys wanted, no matter how much I was screwing this up, I was not going to take this lying down anymore. This was personal.
He stopped mercilessly pounding me and just stared, blinking. I seemed to have stumped him. Dumbass.
"Umm..." He thought for a moment. Then-
"Fine," he grumbled, rapping my head one more time for good measure. "Chi Chi!" He yelled for some Japanese worker. He muttered something to her in Japanese, and she bowed deeply to him.
"Come with me, Rosalyn," she said. The 'R' and 'L' in my name sounded weird when she said it. "I will take you there."
As I followed her, leaving Korse behind, I wondered why the fuck I hadn't thought to play the 'give me a good reason' card earlier. It would have saved me so much trouble, to say the least.
I memorized the route to the Kiljun effortlessly. Chi Chi wasn't a very talkative companion, so I didn't have to concentrate on carrying on a conversation. I guessed she felt awkward when Korse was being...well, Korse. I would have.
Finally, she led me into a gigantic hallway. The walls were so bright a white that it sort of hurt my eyes. Lining the walls were rooms, about 7 feet by 8 feet (way too small, in other words). One of the walls of each room, the wall facing the hall, was what looked like glass, but when I touched it, my finger sort of sunk in. It was freaky.
But the freakiest part was the people in the rooms. They looked so...depressed. They didn't even look up when we passed by. They were all dressed in mismatched clothes, some of them with masks....dressed like Killjoys. With a start, I realized that if we were caught, we would be here...
No. Korse would take us, torture us personally, then kill us. I knew that.
"What's that one's name?" I asked suddenly, pointing to a man. He was around my age, muscular, and wore tight pink jeans with a blue t-shirt emblazoned with "Merci pour le Venin". Over the t-shirt was a black vest to match his black shoes, and he had a blue headband in his brown hair. His pink mask covered his nose almost all the way. I couldn't really see his expression, but he was so still he could be dead.
Chi Chi looked at her clipboard. "This was found in zone 9, named Flying Venom." I had no clue what 'zone 9' meant, but I could see the distaste in her face when she said his name, like she couldn't believe that was his name.
I whirled around and saw a girl, around age 19. She wore a strapless dress. In one corner of it was a blue rectangle with a bunch of white stars in it, and running down the rest of it were red and white stripes. At the bottom it was sort of flowy, revealing black tights and red boots. She wore a black leather jacket over her dress. Her hair was brown, streaked with blonde, wavy, and down to her waist. Because she had no mask, I could tell she had a very attractive face with lots of makeup.
"What about that one?" I asked, careful not to refer to her in a way that made her seem like an actual human being.
"Found in zone 13, named American Pie," Chi Chi spat. "It gave us quite a bit of trouble when we were trying to catch it." What, so we were 'its'? I continued walking.
And then...I saw a woman around my age. She had straight black hair a little longer than her shoulders with red streaks in it. She wore electric blue skintight jeans and a black tank top, with big red sneakers. Her arms were covered in tattoos, and a blue and red mask lay at her feet. She had on red and black eyeliner and red lipstick.
She looked extremely familiar. This was absurd; the only Killjoys I had ever seen were the guys. As I looked her up and down, I noticed that she was extremely pregnant. I stared at her for a few moments, trying to remember where I'd seen her from. She was staring tiredly at the ceiling.
"What's her name?" I murmured to Chi Chi. She looked at her clipboard.
"Found in zone 6..." She flipped through her notes. "Name is Atomic Jumper."
So I apologize for the shortish chapters. But after this point, things start to really heat up. The end will come faster than you know it, lovelies. And it may or may not involve a certain two people getting together...;)
Um. So I bet you're all hoping for good news about my original frerard right? Well I've actually been working on two frerards. And one, I was surprised, is coming along much better than the other. So, in lieu of the story "Once Upon a Mattress" (still a tentative title), the story "All I Ask of You" (also tentative) will be up by mid June. I'm really excited about this one; it's Phantom of the Opera, modern-day, Frerard-style. It's gonna be really cool. And don't worry, I haven't given up on the other one!!
Also, since 'killjoy_frerard' is a lot for me to type, I'm gonna start signing off with 'A'. Because a) it's the first letter of my actual first name, and b) it makes me feel like I'm in Pretty Little Liars (DON'T YOU DARE SPOIL ANYTHING IM ONLY ON THE FOURTH BOOK)
Ps yes, I did name the Japanese worker after Chi Chi from Dragon Ball Z :)

|Learning to Trust God
Lisa Barry: Have you ever wished you had a stronger faith in God? When the storms of life come, do they seem to wash you out to sea where you can't get your bearings or perspective? Well, if that's the case, you're in good company, because I don't think there's anyone on this earth who can say with 100-percent assurance that they trust God perfectly in every area of life. But the fact remains that as a follower of Jesus Christ, our faith should make a difference. It's designed to be much more than just a belief system.
But how do we develop that? Do we need to wait until we've been formally admitted to the school of hard knocks? Or is there a better way? I'm happy to report that there is a better way, and all this week on Gateway To Joy, Elisabeth Elliot is going to lead us through an intense course on trusting God. Whether you're flailing right now out to sea or you'd just like to tighten your moorings, you've come to the right place. Here's Elisabeth.
Elisabeth Elliot: "You are loved with an everlasting love." That's what the Bible says. "And underneath are the everlasting arms." This is your friend, Elisabeth Elliot, talking with you today about keeping a quiet heart.
Many years ago, when my oldest grandson was a little boy, I was in the car with him and his father. And his father decided that it was time to go through the car wash, the automatic car wash, which can be a scary experience even for us adults on the first run-through. And as the car was drawn into that dark tunnel, I looked at my little grandson's face. He was, I think, about two years old. And I could see the fear in those big blue eyes. And his eyes went immediately to the face of his father. And then as the giant brushes began to close in and there was the roar of the water, the fear came back to his face, and he looked around at all four sides of the car to try to figure out what in the world was happening.
Now this little boy was too young to understand what was happening, his father hadn't explained a thing about this, and he didn't have any way of knowing if he was ever going to get out of here. But as he looked at the giant brushes and the cascading water coming down over the four sides, his face immediately turned to the face of his father.
Now when the final crash came--when that big rubber thing came down on the front windshield--again, once again, his eyes darted to the face of his father. And then the car was drawn out into the sunshine and his face broke into a big smile. He had not understood what was happening. He didn't know whether we were going to get out of there or not. He knew one thing: he knew his father. And he knew that his father had never given him reason not to trust him.
In learning to keep a quiet heart, we must first begin by learning to trust God. He is there. Our Father is with us. We will not go through any dark tunnels, any deep valleys, any hot fires, without the presence of our Heavenly Father. The Christian life is meant to teach us to trust Him. Every experience in life is meant to teach us to trust Him.
In Mark 4:35 we have the lovely story of Jesus in the boat. "'Let us go over to the other side,' Jesus had said to His disciples. And leaving the crowd behind, they took Him along just as He was in the boat. There were also other boats with them. A furious squall came up and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly swamped."
It just so happens that I am recording this program on a day when the sea is gray and wintry and the waves are crashing over the rocks below the house. As many of you know, I record these programs in my home in Magnolia, Massachusetts. And we look out over Massachusetts Bay. It's a battleship gray today and the sky is gray and the wind is wild and the rain is coming down.
So here's the story. A furious squall came up, the waves broke over the boat, which is not hard for us to imagine as we look at this sea today. And Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. Don't you love it? Jesus sleeping on a cushion. That little touch that just reminds us of His humanness.
"And the disciples woke Him and said, 'Teacher, don't you care if we're drowned?' And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 'Quiet. Be still.' Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to His disciples, 'Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?' They were terrified and asked each other, 'Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him.'"
What was the secret of Jesus' calm and the fact that He was able to sleep in the midst of a raging storm? It was trust in His Father. What was the secret of the disciples' panic? Lack of trust. "Why is it that you have no faith?" Jesus said to them.
Amy Carmichael wrote a lovely poem called "The Age-Long Minute." "Thou art the Lord who slept upon the pillow; Thou art the Lord who soothed the furious sea. What matter beating wind and tossing billow if only we are in the boat with Thee? Hold us in quiet through the age-long minute while Thou art silent and the wind is shrill. Can the boat sink while Thou, dear Lord, art in it? Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?"
There may be someone listening to me today who is experiencing what seems like the "age-long minute" when God is not answering. Think of those words. "Hold us in quiet through the age-long minute while Thou art silent and the wind is shrill. Can the boat sink while Thou, dear Lord, art in it? Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?"
Let's remember He's in the boat. He's in this pain, in this trial, in this disaster with us. And He is not worried. He is not upset. He is not anxious, because He is Lord of the winds, Lord of the waves, and Lord of every circumstance that touches us.
Someone has said that what pagans call circumstance, Christians call the will of God. He's there with you. Trust Him. Trust in His sovereignty, in His power to overcome all obstacles and to control everything in the universe.
My father was a worrier and so was my mother and so am I, by temperament. But the Lord has been teaching me things. And years ago, back in the 1950s, my father was deeply worried about what was happening to his business. And I found this quotation from George MacDonald that I copied out onto a little piece of 3 X 5 paper and my father carried it in his wallet until he died. And I have that very same little slip of paper here in my notebook.
This is what George MacDonald said: "The care that is filling your mind at this moment, or but waiting till you lay the book down to leap upon you, that need which is no need, is a demon sucking at the spring of your life." And the other person-this is a dialogue. The other person says, 'No, mine is a reasonable care, an unavoidable care indeed.'
"'Is it something you have to do this very moment?' 'No.' 'Then you are allowing it to usurp the place of something that is required of you at this moment.' 'There is nothing required of me at this moment.' 'Nay, but there is. The greatest thing that can be required of a man.' 'And what's that?' 'Trust in the living God.' 'I do trust Him in spiritual matters.' 'Everything is an affair of the spirit.'"
Do you trust in God's sovereignty? One who truly believes in God is not worried about tomorrow. When I was a little girl, we spent our summers in Franconia, New Hampshire, in a lovely old lodge built by my great-great uncle in 1889.
And in the tiny little room where I used to sleep was this poem posted above the bed: "Sleep sweetly in this quiet room, O thou whoe'er thou art, and let no mournful yesterdays disturb thy peaceful heart. Nor let tomorrow scare thy rest with thoughts of coming ill. Thy Maker is thy changeless friend; His love surrounds thee still. Forget thyself and all the world, put out each feverish light; the stars are watching overhead. Sleep sweetly then, goodnight."
It was such a comfort to me to snuggle down under the covers after I'd read that poem, and I could smell the lovely pine and balsam that wafted through the window. And I could hear little Gale River rippling over the stones down at the foot of the bank, and I was comforted and happy.
Remember, if you're worried and unhappy tonight, or this morning, or today, thy Maker is thy changeless friend. His love surrounds thee still. Remember that everything is an affair of the spirit. Remember that Jesus is in the boat with you and He is the One who is in control even of wind and waves. If He can control the tides and the planets and the strong winds and the soft winds and the waves of the ocean, and every human being has been created by His hand, do you not think that He is able to take care of you? To be there in the boat with you? To speak the word and calm the storm?
What is the storm that you are experiencing right now? Look up. Look up to God. Remember He's not worried. He's not anxious about it. He knows what the end will be. You don't know what the end is, and that's what makes you worry so much. And He's saying to you, "Trust Me. I'm in charge. I have the keys. My presence will go with you and I will give you rest. And you will keep a quiet heart."
Lisa Barry: As we close today's program, I want to encourage you to purchase a copy of the book Elisabeth has been referring to today called KEEP A QUIET HEART.

'Tis the season for office parties and it's a good time to brush up on a few friendly reminders on how to dress and behave when mixing business with pleasure.
To help you have a great time we've put together a handy dandy list of the do's and don'ts that can make or break your career during the holiday season.
DON'T get drunk at the holiday office party. This is number one on the list because it is the one most people have trouble abiding by. Set a guideline for yourself before you go and stick to it.
DO remember that the key word in 'holiday office party' is 'office'. You are at a professional function and no matter how much fun you're having, remember that you are at a business event.
DO dress to impress. Choose your outfit wisely. This is not the time to introduce "the girls". You can show your festive style while still being professional. A little black dress or tasteful plus-size holiday dresses are always appropriate for an evening event and if your party is right after work, you can easily transform up your 9-to-5 look into an after-hours outfit by adding statement making jewelry, a fabulous clutch and a pair of party-perfect heels. Your outfit shouldn't be a water cooler topic of conversation the day after the party – unless it was fabulous, of course.
DON'T forget to thank the person responsible for the planning and coordinating of the party.
DO know what type of party you're attending and if you can bring a guest. If guests are invited, be sure to bring someone who will represent you well.
DON'T forget to give a host/hostess gift if the party is at the home of your boss or fellow co-worker. A bottle of wine or sparkling cider is a thoughtful and appreciated gift.
DON'T pass up the invitation. Attendance at a holiday office party really isn't optional and you don't want to miss the opportunity to network with associates you may not see every day.
DO stay for at least 30 minutes. If you have other events to attend, be sure to stop by and make an appearance.
DON'T overstay your welcome by partying into the wee hours. When you see the majority of people leaving, that's your cue to leave, too.
Share your own favorite holiday office party do or don'ts!

Clifford Chance doesn't share in Oz's common wealth
Readers' comments (1)
This does not really say much about Clifford Chance.
Anyone in the industry regards Clifford Chance as a very credible competitor, reinforced by the fact that they won 4 ALB awards just over a week ago, with around 1/4 of the lawyers of any other law firm who won an award (except a couple- all of whom won less).
Why then does the Govt not want to use them is beyond me. Anyone care to comment?

I need to update this blog and post more pics from Paris!
I fell so in love with Bastille. There was so much art everywhere; on the walls of buildings, the sidewalks, and even street lights. Not to mention there are a lot of really cool bars and cafes in the area. super punx too

GMB has always exceeded my expectations in terms of providing a community and a personal presence online. This is really where I feel GMB stands out among other fitness companies who provide little or no interaction after the initial sale. The ability to interact, get feedback from the people who created the programs (even video commentary!) and the MANY supplemental tutorials give your products a lot of added value.
Matthew Sanderson, New Hampshire
The GMB Curriculum - Programs for Strength, Skill, Flexibility, and Body Control

Pastor Emeritus of St. George Antiochian Church passes away at age of 81
The St. George Antiochian Orthodox Church in Canton, Ohio mourns the loss of their longtime pastor, The Very Rev. Fr. Theodore Ziton, who served the parish from 1975 to 1996. He passed away this past Friday, April 8, 2011.
Fr. "Ted" was born in Toledo's north end neighborhood on August 7, 1929, the second of three boys, to Julia (Sabback) and Elias K Ziton. After high school graduation with honors, he attended the University of Toledo then transferred to Columbia University in New York when he was accepted into St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He attended both institutions simultaneously, and in June '54 he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Science and a Master's in Divinity.
Memory Eternal! + Philip Haddad
Edward "Philip" A. Haddad died peacefully in his sleep with his beloved wife by his side.
Philip and Guinevere Haddad were married 64 years.
Philip was born and raised in Charleston and his parents were Andrew Haddad and Maheba Howard Haddad.
While in school, he served as a page in the West Virginia Senate. Philip always gave credit to Charles Lively, who arranged for him to serve in the Senate. He considered this experience an honor and very valuable later in life.
At an early, age Philip's father passed away and he left school to help his mother support the family. He went to work for his uncle in the produce business. Philip worked there until he enlisted in the U.S. Army Infantry. He obtained the rank of sergeant and was on Normandy Beach, France, the day following D-Day. While in the military, he was wounded and received two Purple Hearts. Part of his recuperation time was done at Ashford General Hospital, which is now The Greenbrier.
Many years later, Philip, his wife, and several friends visited Normandy, France, and met with the superintendent of the cemetery. When the superintendent learned that Philip had been on the beach, he presented him with an American flag similar to the ones placed on a fallen soldier's grave; a few pebbles from the beach; and Taps was played on his behalf.
After returning from the war, he married Guinevere Elias and they worked together as owners of a fruit stand, and later as owners of The Medicine Shoppes. They retired from The Medicine Shoppe at the age of 52. After that, he developed an interest in the real estate business, thus forming the Haddad Land Company. Gene Embrogno, a personal friend, became his mentor and Philip found his expertise invaluable.
Memory Eternal! + Metropolitan Nicholas
The faithful of the Antiochian Archdiocese offer prayers and condolences on the passing of Metropolitan Nicholas of the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Diocese of the U.S.A. May his memory be eternal!

|Rick Walker: The Joy of Live Looping
|uh, quantization, anyone?
|2009-01-13 22:39:59
Response to: uh, quantization, anyone?
I'm sure that live looping hardware performs a short crossfade at the loop point to smooth the transition and prevent clicks. But more to the point, "exactly the right time" may not be on the mathematically perfect sample number, but rather the point that grooves best. Think about dub producers setting delay tempos by ear.
Showing messages 1 through 2 of 2.
uh, quantization, anyone?
2009-01-15 15:06:52 pdx [View]
actually, unless i'm missing something, the loop does have to be exactly the right length (or damn close to it) otherwise the various loops get out of sync fairly quickly. setting a dub delay length by ear is maybe a different story because a) the delay will usually eventually fade out (i.e. feedback != 100), and b) the producer is not playing a bar of drums once, then relying on the delay to keep time with all the other instruments (which is what live loopers tend to do).
or i may just be talking outa my hat, since i don't produce (or listen to) this kind of music much.
uh, quantization, anyone?
2009-01-19 08:15:01 Larry the O [View]
Time for a new hat, I think. If I understand your misunderstanding correctly, what you're missing is the issue of tempo predetermination, or the lack thereof. Live looping is kind of like a tap tempo affair, except that instead of delineating enough beats for tempo to be guessed, the looper delineates only the end of phrase. How can quantization be used when the tempo is set at 121.632? Unless, of course, that particular show, it happens to fall at 107.229?
Quantization requires a finer granularity of predetermination than phrase-level.

Florida Gulf Coast is why March Madness is awesome.
Well if you get into March Madness at all (and if you don't you may as well join Al Queda and call it a day) you know that Florida Gulf Coast basically won the weekend. Just going 'Mayhem' all over people's brackets! I mean a 15 seed? 15?! These are the Goomba teams. These are the teams that should get crushed like a beer bong hitting Frank the Tank's lips. These are the wrestler's that start in the ring and use their actual, legal name. They shouldn't be in the Sweet 16! And not only did they win they flat out DOMINATED. Alley-oop dunks, draining 3's, just all over the court. It looked like a crew from Rucker Park vising a Catholic prep school or something. Hell I thought the And One mixtape guy was going to pop out of the crowd screaming 'OHHHHH BABBBEEEYYYYY!' Just classic stuff. And the best part is this school has only had a basketball program since 1997! Which in my brain is like 5 years ago*! The only school mad about FGCU is probably LaSalle. Like any other year a 13 seed in the Sweet 16 is headline news. Now it's barely in the first segment of Sportscenter. But, again, that's why those last 4 days are some of the best in sports. FGCU, Wichita State (just guessing they're AJ Hawk's favorite team), Oregon and Lasalle all in the final 16. Not even Biff Tannon and his Sports Almanac had that. Only downside to the weekend was with all the close games we had no Gus Johnson game winning calls. And instead we have Doug Gottlieb on color commentary. Downgrade city, population: America.
*I can't be the only one who thinks like that right? Like when someone says 'Oh that happened like 10 years ago' I think they're talking about 1992.
PS: CBS kept on showing a smokebomb blond during the Georgetown/FGCU game. I just assumed it was a random hot fan but it turns out it's head coach Andy Enfield's wife!
Sound the alarm! Where's Brent Musberger when you need him!
Double PS: This was a pic tweeted out from an FGCU player. View from his dorm room. Looks like friekin' Del Boca Vista! I mean how easy is a recruiting trip for a top player? Show them this, a Sweet Sixteen banner and introduce them to your wife. 1960's style UCLA dynasty in no time flat.

Carmel Meadows
Movie buffs love visiting Carmel Meadows. The reason? It's just a half-mile away from a famous Monterey cypress tree featured in Play Misty For Me, a Clint Eastwood cult classic. Most visitors go nude at this lovely beach, but local residents seem to prefer a bigger attraction that's also nearby: the clothed, public beach at Carmel River State Park.
Carmel River State Park property.
Go south on Highway 1. After Monterey and most of Carmel, look for the junction of Rio Road and Highway 1 (the Crossroads Shopping Center and the Barnyard are at the intersection). Stay on Highway 1. About one mile south of Rio, turn right on Ribera Road and go about a half-mile, watching for a round turnout on the right. Park in front of the gate. Follow the trail to the beach, then go left 150 feet until you see a row of homes. Parking is limited on Ribera. For easier parking, from the stoplight at Rio, drive two miles south until you see the first beach next to the road. Park in the lot there, walk to the ocean, and go north One of the first things you'll pass is the tree from Misty. A half-mile later, you'll come to a row of houses without any cliffs. Keep walking north until you see the next set of homes atop some bluffs.
A ribbon of soft sand that measures just 30-40 feet wide in front of bluffs with homes. But people in the houses on the hill cannot see the beach.
Carmel Meadows averages just five or six nude sunbathers per warm summer day. "One fall, we counted at least a half dozen nude sunbathers," says a regular bare bottom visitor. "The year before that there were that many, too. Few people know about it, but those who do love it."
Fog, wind, and cold water. Parking may be difficult or far away. Some houses face the beach, but the cliffs, which are about 15 feet high, help protect sunbathers from view.

Chapter 1- At Least She's Happy0 Reviews
Sequel to "Good Enough". Never mind Dani, Archie has enough secrets of his own. Nosey as she is, Atlanta lets her jealousy cloud her judgment and may end Archie's inspiration, onca and for all. A/A...
A knock came at the door and he groaned in response.
"Come on, dude, we gotta get outta here, Ares wants us now!"
Dani. Archie groaned again as he threw the covers off. Just as suddenly as the knock came, the door opened, but it wasn't Dani this time. Atlanta appeared at the door. Her eyes became the size of dinner plates and her sin turned a beet red in a split second.
Archie looked in his mirror confused and realised he was only wearing his boxers. His face turned a similar red. "Uhh..." was the only thing he could come up with as he turned around frantically trying to grab his quilt to cover himself up. This was not a good start to the morning.
"Uh, right." Atlanta said looking down at her shoes. "We're, uh, going to the school. So... hurry up okay?"
"Uh, ya. Just getting dressed, hah..." he scratched the back of his head.
She closed the door behind her and he walked over to his closet and threw on his clothes. That was embarassing, was all he could manage to think. He hated making a fool of himself in front of Atlanta, even though he knew she always just shrugged it off, it still made him feel aweful.
He bounded down the stairs several minutes later and turned into the kitchen where Odie had Dani pinned to the counter and she was giggling.
"What are you two doin'?" Archie asked playfully opening the fridge and grabbing the milk.
Dani giggled again and Odie kissed her. He let her go and she walked past Archie patting him on the shoulder. "Oh, nothing." she answered with laughter in her voice. Archie had noticed that since she had been with Odie, she had been so much happier. It was hard for him to imagine a time when he had hated her for being "special", as special as he had figured out he was, and everyone else was here.
Archie watched his sister leave then turned to Odie, who was now leaning against the counter looking satisfied.
"You better be careful, pal. I'm keeping my eye on you two."
"Ya, whatever." He sounded lost in thought. Archie knew they were happy. But he still felt protective of Dani.
"You guys really like each other, don't you?" Archie asked, leaning against the counter opposite Odie.
"You have no idea. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me, man. She's amazing, she's beautiful, talented... what else could I ask for?"
"I don't know, man. Just, be good to her okay?"
"She is older than you," Odie said pushing himself off the counter and grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge. "She can think for herself. She doesn't need to have you watching her every move for her."
"Hey, man, I'm just watching out for her. She's oviously seen a lot..."
"Damn right." said Dani coming back to the kitchen in her sweat pants and a blue tank top. "What are you guys talking about?"
"You." Odie said taking her by the waist. Dani giggled.
"Come, on guys, enough. We have to get to the school now!" She took Odie hand and pulled him towards the door. Archie followed smiling to himself.
If she can find herself someone, I can find someone right? He thought. Oh, who am I kidding? Atlanta's the only one.

FifthGear went to the Assen TT circuit in the Netherlands and put together two of the most incredible sports cars to date - the Lotus Evora S and the Porsche Carrera S - for a little one on one action.
The Lotus Evora S is powered by a supercharged Toyota-sourced 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers a total of 350 HP and more than 300 lb-ft of torque. This means a sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds and a top speed in excess of 172mph. On the other hand, the Porsche Carrera S is powered by a 3.8-liter power with an output of 385 HP and a top speed of 186 mph.
At first glance, the Carrera S seems to have a slight advantage, but who will stand up and fight against all odds? Watch the video to find out!


text: HomeReviewsTube ModsMini Variable Voltage LavaTube Mod TUC Vapes March 3, 2012 Tube Mods, Variable Voltage Mods1 Comment The Lavatube is one of the more affordable variable voltage mods available. Following my review of the Lavatube, it has become one of my favorite devices while at home. Simply because of it's size, I prefer other mods while out and about.Recently though, the Lavatube is being offered from various other suppliers under various names, with a mini option.The Mini "Lavatube"The mini lavatube…perfect for on the go vaping?I have found my mini tube to perform like my original Lavatube. Battery life will not be as long as it uses an 18350. But at 3.75 inches, versus the regular 5 inches, the new mini's are more practical for on the go vaping.While using the mini lavatube, I did find it more comfortable to switch up my fire button finger. With the regular size, I use my thumb, with the mini, using my middle finger is more natural, as the activation button rests approximately in the middle of the unit.Other than that, I receive all the benefits I enjoyed with the full sized Lavatube, with a more practical sized mini.If you like the full size Lavatube, but would prefer it in a smaller (shorter) footprint, check out the following link:VTubeOne Response Matt January 11, 2013 I personally use mini Lava tube on a daily basis. It is a great and reliable unit. I have been using mine for 4 months without a single complaint.
