Answers and Explanations
- D—Stalin was noted for his practice of exiling or executing millions of his opponents.
- A—The Cuban Missile Crisis illustrated that the Cold War was fought through diplomacy that placed the superpowers always on the brink of war. Neither the Arab-Israeli War (B) nor the Iran-Iraq War (C) was a conflict between the superpowers. The Cultural Revolution was a repressive policy of Mao Zedong (D), and the Korean War (E) involved direct confrontation between the communist and free worlds.
- B—France wanted to regain and maintain its colony in Indochina. Germany (A) lost its colonies during World War I, whereas Great Britain, the United States, and Portugal gradually granted independence to their colonies (C, D, E).
- D—Lenin allowed some private ownership of land and small businesses (C) and some degree of free market economy. Collective farming was established under Stalin (A). The NEP increased agricultural production (B). The NEP ended with Lenin (E).
- B—Deng Xiaoping allowed some elements of a market economy and some foreign investment. Mao and Stalin did not follow these policies (A, C). Castro allowed some foreign investment only in recent years after the breakup of Soviet communism (E). Jiang Jieshi was not a communist leader (D).
- C—Perón's government followed fascist models; he was reputed to have had fascist sympathies. Castro (A), Khrushchev (B), and Lenin (D), all communists, were opposed to fascism. Mohandas Gandhi, the nonviolent leader of Indian independence, was not aligned with either philosophy (E).
- B—Poland was the only satellite nation that was allowed to experience private land ownership and religious freedom. Neither the Soviet Union (E) nor the other satellite nations listed enjoyed such freedoms (A, C, D).
- D—Although Gorbachev allowed a measure of free market economy, foreign investments, consumer goods, and free discussion of governmental policies, his government remained dedicated to the ultimate welfare of the state (D).

By Victor Farinelli In the words of the dead, drug addled rock star Jim Morrison, "This is the end, beautiful friend, the end." Yes folks, this pop-culture game show dubbed "Best Ink Season II" has reached its final episode. What started off as a study in mediocrity, slowly digressed into a judge's vehicle in auto-fellatio pseudo-fame. If the item that is to be fellatioed could be found, that is… Read More »

Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 9)
By Victor Farinelli It is down to the wire, folks. Four contestants are left in the game show of extreme skill and ability to see who is going to be named Best Ink. They must pay income tax on $100,000, and appear on the cover of Tattoo Magazine. HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA, "extreme skill!" I crack myself up sometimes! And Tattoo Magazine? I haven't picked up this rag in a long time, but when I did, it had some of the crappiest tattoos out there. Back in the day, this wonderfully professional publication contained construction paper pages of black and white photos of color tattoos. Apparently, it has improved somewhat over the years, relying more on artists' submissions than submissions by people with their own homemade tats… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 8)
By Victor Farinelli This week's show was humdrum and tiresome. It is a chore to watch this poorly produced, sadly directed piece of shit. I could edit better in iMovie than these cats can with their high-dollar editing studio. This week's focus was on realism. For the flash challenge, the troupe was taken to a side-street where, out of nowhere, this clearly staged accident-slash-gun fight happened right in front of them. The contestants were supposed to draw a "hyper-photo-realistic" rendition of it. It was just a big advertisement for the new Fast and Furious 6 movie. Lame… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 7)
By Victor Farinelli This is not gonna be a long post because, frankly, this show is just becoming sad… Just sad. I thought this show would give me some great ammunition to vent the fury in my head. But alas, no. I have to take that out on my last place Brewers who, as I write this, beat the first place Cards. So I can't even take it out on them. Fuck! I guess there are always the Astros… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 6)
By Victor Farinelli Let me start by reminding y'all that the views expressed in these here ramblings are my own and do not represent the views of TAM. With that out of the way, I wanted to touch on some action going on at the TAM Facebook page. There have been some posts that have criticized TAM for allowing me to even acknowledge that Best Ink, and other tattoo shows, even exist… One: See the first sentence. Two: Face it folks; ever since MTV's The Real World (maybe even The Dating Game), TV has become one "reality" show after another. COPS, Survivor, Idol, Top Chef; the list goes on and on. Tattoo shows are no different. I don't think they are going to go away anytime soon, either. Look at how many seasons American Chopper has been on. Those goofballs still get huge ratings. True "outlaw bikers" probably hate that show, just like many passionate tattoo artists hate tattoo shows… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 5)
By Victor Farinelli Howdy folks. It's me again here to bring you yet another exciting and death-defying episode of Best Ink Season II. This episode demonstrates to me that I am absolutely no judge of what a decent tattoo should be. I thought that most of the work that came out of this episode was pretty good. However, walking heart-attack Joe Capobianco hated most of them. I never had good taste… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 4)
By Victor Farinelli My fellow cynic "johndotcom" asked me the other day if this show is painful to watch. Yes it is. It makes me wish for the zombie apocalypse. I think it has to do with the real egotistical ass-hats that are on this show, including the host, Pete Wentz. I guess that is why they were picked in the first place. Some of the douchingtons are so egotistical that they don't even realize that they are fucking up someone's life with a shitty tattoo. Well, I guess that is why the laser removal industry is so big now… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 3)
By Victor Farinelli Hello Folks. This is your resident dickhead back again to bring you a recap of this week's episode from one of the most asinine shows on TV. Week three of Best Ink is pretty much like week two. For the flash challenge, the guest judges were Vanessa and Angela Simmons, founders of Pastry Brand fashionable footwear and apparel. The Simmons are daughters of Rev. Run from Run-DMC and nieces of Russell Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam records. The flash challenge was all about branding. So now tattoo artists have to brand themselves? What the fuck is that all about? Oh, I forgot, the last challenge was all about branding too. Kids; don't do tattoos at home. But if you're going to, use my Easy Glow Tattoo Pigment and custom "Brickhouse" coil tattoo machine… Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 2)
By Victor Farinelli Hello, my name is Victor, and I am an asshole (Hi,Victor). I am officially in asshole relapse mode. I don't know what has come over me. Everytime I try not to be an asshole, the compulsion takes over. So, I have accepted my assholism and will embrace it. Today is a new day. I feel like a butterfly emerging from the cocoon. I am going to spread my wings and fly! *grin* *single tear* *sunbeam and rainbows* Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II (Episode 1)
By Victor Farinelli Hello friends and neighbors! It's me again, here to give you the scoop on this shitstorm called Best Ink. First off, during the show, these little pop-up windows come up giving "industry slang." One was "Skin- Tattoo Client." What the fuck. The only time I have heard a customer called skin is never. Great. Now all these white trash wannabe scratchers are going to be calling their customers and clients "skins." (Screen fades into dream sequence like a '70′s sitcom…) Read More »
Victor Farinelli: Best Ink Season II Prologue
By Victor Farinelli So… I was sitting with remote control in hand, watching reruns of Cops, surfing the Internet, and thinking about how depressed I have been ever since Ink Master Season 2 ended. There has been nothing to fill my gawking freak show void left by Ink Master, since it ended. I tried watching Black Ink Crew, but it just didn't catch my attention. It reminded me too much of all the scratcher shops in Austin. There was no real point behind it either… Read More »

Valerie Vargas Article Preview for Tattoo Artist Magazine Issue #31
Interview By Chad Koeplinger Chad Koeplinger: Who are some of the tattoo artists that you were interested in at that point? What were you looking at tattoo-wise? What was blowing your mind? Valerie Vargas: At that point I don't think I became fully aware of people that I like now until I already started my apprenticeship, because that's when I was allowed to have a look through the books that for me at the time were way too expensive -I couldn't afford them. And my boss had all of the Tattootimes. He never looked at them anymore but they were up on the shelf and any time it was quiet I'd have a look. I became more aware of Ed Hardy and more of the West Coast kind of guys. But even then I was still struggling to remember names, I just knew the work. I remember some backpieces that are still pretty awesome. And it was also through my friendship with Stewart in the beginning that he was really on it. He knew who everybody was, what they were doing, and he was totally stoked about everything, and he taught me a fair bit about it… Read More »

Regulating flow of mainland Chinese tourists is only sensible option in short term
Paul Yip says imposing some caps on the overwhelming number of visitors to Hong Kong, most of them mainlanders, makes sense. In fact, some shops and theme parks already set limits
Most Popular
The 54 million people who visited Hong Kong last year included 41 million from the mainland, about half of whom arrived under the individual visit scheme. Some 10 million of those do not stay overnight, including a significant number of parallel traders who cause considerable inconvenience and disruption to local communities, especially those in the northern districts, as they snap up daily commodities such as milk powder.
The landscape and make-up of shops throughout the city has been distorted to meet the demands of the visitors, at the expense of local residents. It is neither healthy nor sustainable. Some of the local shops and our unique characteristics that appeal to tourists from elsewhere have been disappearing.
Furthermore, we are now told that the number of visitors will even shoot up to 70 million in three years' time and reach 100 million by 2023. With the completion of the high-speed rail link and the Zhuhai bridge, we are looking at even more mainland visitors in the future.
Our capacity for meeting the ever- increasing numbers has been questioned; it is, after all, a population of 1.3 billion versus 7 million. The Hong Kong government has been lagging in accommodating the rapid expansion. Simply, the number of mainland visitors has outgrown our capacity to accommodate them all. And that is bound to create problems: our transport system has become even more congested and our space has been compromised.
The government has been exploring ways to rectify the problem by, for example, making more space and shopping outlets available, especially near the border. However, the problem is here now: officials need to act more swiftly as the situation is nearing breaking point.
We do need new infrastructure to deal with increasing demand. But this will take time. In the meantime, extraordinary measures are called for, specifically to regulate numbers and control the influx of parallel traders.
Regulating the flow is nothing new. Our theme parks, Disneyland and Ocean Park, both implemented measures during the Lunar New Year: they restricted ticket sales to control visitor numbers.
This was a pragmatic approach and there was no element of discrimination. Such a measure certainly upset some people. However, the objective was to ensure the safety and comfort of those already in the parks.
By the same token, regulating the number of visitors to Hong Kong through certain measures, whether it be a land tax or some administrative measures, would be to ensure we are able to provide a quality service. Tourism is, of course, a major source of income for Hong Kong and one advantage we have over mainland cities is in providing a quality service so visitors have a pleasant experience in Hong Kong, rather than having to queue for hours and being ripped off by greedy and irresponsible merchants.
The idea of imposing a levy is worth exploring, with the aim of reducing the number of parallel traders. When the situation improves, the measures can be revisited and amended.
Another good example is how shops selling luxury brands treat customers. Once their shop is full, they ask other potential customers to queue outside and wait their turn. It's all done in a courteous manner. Some people do have to wait for a while and they usually do so without complaint; they are willing to queue because they want to buy something.
At the same time, those already inside are able to enjoy their shopping experience. And that includes store employees who do not become overstretched and are therefore able to provide a good service.
There are concerns that restrictions would make Hong Kong appear unfriendly to visitors. However, if we don't treat them well while they are here, they won't come back. True, some people don't care whether visitors return or not; there are plenty more mainlanders, they say. But our tourism service won't improve if money comes too easily. The best way to make our city a friendly place for all visitors is to focus on providing a quality service. Clearly, we cannot ignore the concerns of locals whose lives are being affected. And while flows of people are healthy and important to the city's development, if things become too crowded, we have no choice but to act.
We can strike a balance: make Hong Kong a liveable place for locals and enjoyable for visitors. The government's concern that any administrative measures would be seen in a negative light on the mainland is well understood. But, ignoring the concerns of locals and the capacity of our city is not a solution; the likelihood of conflict between visitors and locals is bound to increase.
Nevertheless, the "locusts" protest by a small group of people in Canton Road last weekend was unnecessary, destructive and ill-considered. It does not carry the support of the majority and it is certainly not the way to rectify the situation.

I used to cringe when my American colleagues complained about fellow HKers jamming exits of elevators and metro trains. HKers, not just Chinese, used to spit in streets. Spittoons were strategically placed in HK eateries, like 陸羽 at 花布街. American friends were equally shaken up by toilet stench at Causeway Bay restaurants as ones in trains between Guangzhou-HK in the 80s.
My Swiss relatives were taken aback by HK diners spitting unsightly chewed out bones onto dinner plates. But Europeans are sophisticated enough to know "good" table manners are culturally relative.
Some HKers are like Pip in Dickens' "Great Expectations." We're ashamed of our cultural origin, just like Pip now in his London dig was repelled by his visiting brother-in-law who had raised him. Worse, HKers resent China's new wealth and their own limited purchasing power, 憎人富貴厭人窮.
Do you disown your parents because of their humble origins and bad manners?
During my childhood, movie theatres like 新世界 at 上環 had no air-conditioning. I recall parents order their children pee on the floor because they didn't want to miss a scene.
At the dome of San Pietro in Rome last year, two Hong Kong girls were screaming at the top of their lungs.
These are the HKers I know then and now. Warts and all, I am proud of you because of our shared culture and above all, our love of parents and family.
Please tell me, who are you without this Chineseness?
If something like that actually happened in Hong Kong, do you actually think the Mainland would just let protestors riot and burn government buildings?
NO, the Mainland would immediately send in the army and the protestors would be crushed.
I doubt any HKer want a repeat of the Tiananmen massacre in their city.
sounds simple and is easier to expect compliance by mainland visitors
than local abuse hailers
When I try to get off lifts or trains
the exits are often blocked by a wall of people
who are supposed to leave a central passage
for people to get off first
Why not a $500 fine for exit blockers?

The sun-soaked Spanish Riviera isn't where you'd expect to find a faithful foot soldier of North Korea. But that's exactly what Alejandro Cao de Benos calls himself.
Cao de Benos, 38, is believed to be the only Westerner ever employed by the North Korean government. He's a Spanish aristocrat, born to a family of landed gentry in northeast Spain, where he agreed to meet NPR for an interview one recent afternoon.
"I consider myself as [much] Spanish as Korean — 50-50. This is my country of birth, and North Korea is my country of adoption," says Cao de Benos, who also goes by the Korean name Cho Son Il, which means "Korea is one."
For the past 11 years, he has held the title of special delegate for North Korea's Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries. It's an unpaid gig.
He earns money as an IT consultant, working in the past in Palo Alto, Calif., and the Spanish capital, Madrid. He pays his own way to North Korea, where he works six months a year as a minder for foreign visitors.
The rest of the year he gives presentations about North Korea at universities across Europe, and tries to drum up business for the ailing regime.
It's an uphill battle, he admits, given the tough sanctions the United States and its allies have piled on North Korea for failing to halt its nuclear program.
"I once brought a group of Canadian businessmen to North Korea, and they were ready to make investments of 2 or 3 million euros. But how can we transfer millions of euros from Canada to Pyongyang, if the U.S. blocks even a $100 wire transfer!" Cao de Benos exclaimed. "We can't even use credit cards. The U.S. controls everything. When I bring tourists [to North Korea], they all have to carry cash."
Identifying With North Korea
Cao de Benos adopted North Korean ideology as a teenager, after his family fortune was squandered. His grandfather had made a series of bad investments. So his dad went from a nobleman to someone who had to find a job. The family moved to Andalusia, in southern Spain, a socialist stronghold at the time.
"It was a big shock! I had to start a new life in Granada. I was 15 years old," Cao de Benos recalls. He hid his aristocratic roots and threw himself into leftist politics.
"While my friends were interested in football and things like that, I was much more interested in philosophy and politics," he said. "Obviously first I got knowledge of Marxism and Leninism, but I heard that there was a country which had another kind of socialism — another kind of experiment based on their own culture and history — and that was North Korea."
His mother, Elvira Perez, wanted to indulge her adolescent son's curiosity at the time. So she took him to a United Nations event in Madrid, where he met some North Korean diplomats.
"From my first encounter with them in 1990, I started my relations and made up my mind to fight for the Korean revolution," Cao de Benos says proudly.
Perez, now 60, describes what it was like raising a fledgling North Korean sympathizer — a Communist — during the Cold War.
"People still don't understand it," Perez said by telephone from her home in Granada. "All our friends and neighbors were really surprised. But I suppose that happens when someone does something different, or takes a different path — people think it's strange. We have always sought to support our two sons. And for Alejandro, this is a passion."
Defending The Regime
A 2006 Dutch documentary, Friends of Kim, which refers to the late "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il, captured footage of Cao de Benos leading a nationalist march inside North Korea two years earlier.
At the time, Cao de Benos was serving as a sort of government minder for American journalist Andrew Morse, then with ABC News. But after a disagreement over the word "famine," Cao de Benos ordered 32 hours of Morse's videotape seized and had the journalist thrown out of the country.
At one point in the documentary, Cao de Benos waves his finger at the camera: "Everybody must be here and see the reality! And destroy the imperialist media that are bombing us every day with lies!"
It's difficult to reconcile the man in the documentary with the seemingly affable character from a seaside village near Tarragona, on Spain's Mediterranean coast.
Cao de Benos speaks passionately about what draws him to Pyongyang year after year. He has an apartment there, where he sometimes even celebrates Christmas.
"Society and life is completely different. In North Korea, there is no stock market, there is no gambling, there is no prostitution, and there are no drugs. Everybody leads a humble life, but with dignity," he said. "You see the big difference? I was working in Palo Alto, Calif. — and what I witnessed was yes, there are some beautiful houses and people with great cars, but there are a few people taking control over the properties and the companies, and they are the ones getting richer while the majority of the people — the workers — are getting poorer."
Acknowledging The Hardships
He also acknowledges seeing a darker side of the isolated Communist country.
"I've been in Pyongyang without electricity 24 hours [a day] — without water," Cao de Benos recalls. "I've been going with my comrades to pick up buckets of water that we will share among six or seven people — and I have seen the situation. I have seen the starvation."
But he blames that on natural disasters and most of all, Western sanctions. He says he believes that North Korean communism — if left alone — would do justice for a greater number of people than capitalism.
"Of course, it's a project. We are not living in a paradise in North Korea, but we want to create such a social paradise. That's our goal," he said. "On the way, we will have mistakes and we will correct them, and get better day by day."

[QUOTE=PGlaves;861017]I will repeat what I wrote earlier. Four over will usually get you a ticket from a Texas trooper. Two over might get a stop and chat. If a bad day, even two over might get a ticket. When the limit is 75 (120 kph) on a two-lane state highway, they are not near as lenient as in places where the dreary little limit is 55 (88 kph).
Believe it or not, at your own peril.[/QUOTE]
I wasn't questioning the veracity of your statement, I've just never seen or experienced enforcement to that degree - except in the little one stoplight town of Concrete, Washington where I make a point of travelling [U]under[/U] the speed limit.

It was close to Fisherman's Wharf.
I specifically asked for a room that would be away from street-type noises....I was given a room overlooking the town bus terminal! Back-up beeping, diesel engine and loud communication until after 1 AM!!! The bathroom was not clean. The tub/shower took ~ 20 minutes to drain...gross! NOT a great value overall for the high price!!! The hallways look dingy and dated.

This won't be found listed among swanky hotels. It's older, but well-maintained and conveniently located in the Fisherman's Wharf area. We had four (4) people in one room with two (2) Queen beds, and although a bit tight, it was certainly manageable for a 1-week trip. (After all, one doesn't visit San Francisco to hang out all day in a hotel, right?) What set the Courtyard by Marriott Fisherman's Wharf apart was the courteous, helpful, and awesome staff! Not only did they provide helpful information, but did so in a gracious manner that's getting increasingly hard to find. Whether it was getting a few extra towels for the room; directions for finding the right Municipal bus route; recommendations for restaurants; or whatever else, they were there with a smile and an answer - and often an answer that helped us save time/money on our trip. Would I stay there again? Most definitely; and if you're traveling with a family and not wanting to have to take out a home equity loan to fina...

I was surprised by how new and clean our room was. It was well decorated. I was pleased to find free wi-fi, WSJ, and appreciated the offer of free coffee too. Every staff member we interacted with was courteous and kind. The only negatives that I recall were weak noise insulation from neighbors (workaround: run the room fan) and $32 per night parking in the neighboring garage (seems a fact of life in this dense city). A very cool free service in the lobby for today's air travel environment: print your boarding pass.

I was worried about this hotel because the reviews were a mix. I was pleasantly surprised to find it exceeding my expectations. The rooms were nice and clean. Checking in was a breeze and the bell desk was very quick and helpful. The maids did forget the two free daily water bottle a few times during our weekly stay but brought up to the room almost instantly when I called the main desk. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The location is excellent if you are here for vacation. You are a block from the Powell-Mason cable car. Fisherman's Wharf is 3 blocks from the hotel. The area doesn't have as many homeless people as Market Street and I felt safe walking around this since there weren't people just lingering about.
The smoking in front of the Hotel entrance door. That smells does makes it way in to the registration area.

Location was excellent, and the room was clean and well maintained.
We stayed in the "Wharf Building" which seemed older and less maintained. There was no front desk staff in the building and it was difficult to get back over to the other building if we needed anything. Also, the elevator was under repair the full duration of our stay, which made the one working elevator very slow.

It's a very charming and eclectic place with a lot of history behind it. The staff is excellent and very helpful! The location is great! Just a few blocks to Fisherman's Wharf!
Even the photos don't make it clear how small the rooms are! If you're looking for luxurious suites, this isn't the place for you. I don't know how they even got beds into the rooms!For the price point and location in SFO you can't beat it! Great staff! Very well maintained! Just be prepared for how small the rooms are. And the shared bath if that's something that bothers you. But for one or two people, it's great and I will stay there again!

This is an historic hotel (1906) and would be appreciated by history buffs who don't mind the bathroom being down the hall.
People who want modern amenities would probably not like it and should stick to the Holiday Inn.The hotel is a charming trip back to 1906. Rooms are decorated in the style of the period with brass beds and antique furniture. It is definitely unique experience. The location is just 3 blocks from Fisherman's Wharf and public transportation. The building also contains the oldest still operating Italian restaurant in the US.

The good is over. I just Revived the noticeYour beyond talk plan is about to change. Starting 3/23/2012, data speeds may be reduced once you hit 2.5 GB. For more info, click »msg4u.us/th2 To make sure we can keep offering our Beyond Talk Plans at such great prices, we're putting a data speed reduction in place for anyone who uses over 2.5GB of data in a month.Will it affect me?Based on your activity for your last plan month ending in December, you shouldn't be affected.If you continue to use the same amount of data as you did in your last plan month, you should not see your data speeds reduced. Just to give you an idea, in order to hit 2.5GB, it's about 400,000 Mobile Internet page views, about 90,000(!) emails (without attachments), 91 hours of streaming music or 20 hours of video clips*.This will not affect your ability to text or make calls with your phone.How will it work?Starting March 23, 2012, if you use over 2.5GB of data in a month on your Beyond Talk Plan: Data speeds may be reduced to 256Kbps or below for the rest of your month. If data speeds are reduced, they will return to normal as soon as your next plan month starts. If you'd rather not wait for your new month to start, you can restart your plan immediately through My Account.How will I know if my data speeds have been reduced?If you reach 2.5GB of data in a month, you will receive a text message letting you know your data speeds will be reduced for the rest of your plan month.By putting this data speed reduction in place, we're making sure we can deliver the same quality service you've come to expect from Virgin Mobile. We hope you understand.*Data usage per activity is based on an average. Bandwidth varies by website, video, email and other Internet application
Yup... now it is in line with the Broadband2Go unlimited plan for future reference the virgin mobile forum is here:»Virgin Mobile Broadband
As Virgin Mobile is a month-to-month prepaid service, they can change the rules at anytime, unlike a long-term contract service.Their website says if you use more than 2.5 GB per month, your speed may be reduced to 25 Kbps (I think that is the speed they mentioned).This let's them advertise "unlimited" without violation any Federal Trade laws.
Please post Virgin Mobile related content on the proper thread.Here: »Virgin Mobile Broadband
I just got to be carefully when I tether now. To be honest.. in New York the service is allready pretty slow in some areas. I wondered if this was allredy in effect.I still only pay 25.00 a month for the unlimited data and 300 minutes. with a unlocked gingerbread device. still worth it.
Their website says if you use more than 2.5 GB per month, your speed may be reduced to 25 Kbps (I think that is the speed they mentioned).
I have had my fill of VM and their changing horses in the middle of a race. I will be moving to another provider.1. I cannot continue to have to call every month bc there is some problem when I renew my plan.2. I got no notice of price change for plans and I have 3 phones with them.3. They don't provide the greatest service and now they want to reduce speed if I use what they are providing for the price....4. The phones are not the best and I need to be able to tether.5. I HATE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Can I please speak to someone I can understand?6. I am over the prepaid plans......you get what you pay for. It is good if you are on a tight budget and cannot indulge in a monthly plan that may affect your credit rating if something changes. But I am soooooo tired of the drama!

Read the following text please!
Hello world! Here it is like I promised, my 1st mixtape - In Search of Love. A FREE mixtape I did for fun with some of my friends :) Hope you guys like it! All songs were written & recorded in 2013, with the exception of "Doing My Job", "Hip Hop Saved My Life", & "Missed Calls" which were written/recorded in 2012 & the chorus to "Proud of You Baby" which was recorded in 2014.
If you do decide to listen to it, LISTEN TO IT IN ORDER PLEASE! At least for the first time, so you can get the full experience.
This mixtape was inspired by these poems (which you should also check out!):
"Plankton" by Joshua Bennett
"Dear Ex-Lover" by Jasmine Mans
"Love Like" by Shihan
The characters and stories told in the songs (with the exception of Doing My Job, Hip Hop Saved My Life & the interview skits of Kendrick Lamar & J.Cole) are fictional and any resemblances to a real person, living or dead, are purely coincidental.
All production rights go to the respective producers of each track. See back cover for tracklist & production credits.
This mixtape is a non-profit project & made entirely for fun and to share with my friends. Don't expect anything too fancy or anything like that, I don't have a studio.. or let alone even own a mic! Haha.
Special thanks to those that contributed to the mixtape: Chris Oka, Ryan Franco, Arianne Barreras, Erwynn Rueda, & Ryan Zamora! You guys did amazing!
The link comes with the songs, the front cover, the back cover, the alternate cover, the covers for the singles (Sunsets & Missed Calls), & a folder filled with lyrics. Message me if there are any problems with the download link! :)

[Intro: Arianne Barreras]
When the sun goes down…
[Chorus: Arianne Barreras]
Baby, when the sun goes down,
My baby, will you be holding me tight?
Baby when the sun goes down,
I promise, I will be here in your arms.
[Verse 1: Tom De Alva]
Straight chillin' with you,
Candlelight dinner, with a menu for two,
But that's for later on, when the skies become dark,
Chillin' watchin' sunsets, right here at the park
No worries about the world, just me and you girl,
we be maxin' relaxin' with all these that question we're askin',
to help us get to know each other, and it's feeling like magic,
and if you ever throw this away, I'll be right here to catch it,
I don't mean to sound cliche, but I love hearing your stories,
And how you don't like to share it, but still you tell it for me,
and as you sit here by my side, I think we're two of a kind,
you ask me what I want in life, it's you on my mind
And I can't really find courage to just tell you how I feel,
but if there's any perfect time to tell you, then I think it would be here
We're sitting here at the park talkin all 'bout of this fun stuff,
Memories and therapy right here watching sunsets
I love it.
[Chorus: Arianne Barreras]
Baby, when the sun goes down,
My baby, will you be holding me tight?
Baby when the sun goes down,
I promise, I will be here in your arms.
[Verse 2: Tom De Alva]
Straight chillin' with you
sitting at the swings, nice view for us two,
as the sun goes down, we start thinkin' bout the past,
and the present, and the future, if only we could make it last,
talking about our life as we stare up at the sky,
I ask you where we're headed as I look you in the eyes,
she says that "we don't know, but maybe it shouldn't even matter,"
'cause no matter where we end up, I'm just glad I even had ya,
I told her I agree, I'm just glad we have some memories,
The good outweighs the bad, and this talk is like a remedy,
For all the negativity, that's flowin' through my mind,
I just wanna say thank you cause you've opened up the blinds,
to look forward to the future, and definitely in due time,
no matter where, we end up we'll end up being alright,
"As we walk around the city, our lives will cross paths,
Watching sunsets as we sit, reminiscin' bout past."
I loved it.
[Verse 3: Arianne Barreras]
Gotta get something off my chest *exhales* here I go
Baby boy let me tell you something now before the moonlight shows
I don't know if you know this but did you know that you're my first love?
You know my stories about them other guys. Boy, you rise above.
Call you up at 3 in the morning
Talking about stuff or the sounds of my crying
Opened me up like your favorite book
Read every line no matter how long it took
You take me higher than these swings can take us
To find a guy like you, call me Blessed
I don't know where we're headed, you and me
But for now your arms is where I wanna be
[Chorus: Arianne Barreras]
Baby, when the sun goes down,
My baby, will you be holding me tight?
Baby when the sun goes down,
I promise, I will be here in your arms.
[Outro: Arianne Barreras]
When the sun goes down, you'll be holding me tight
And I'll be here in your arms,
Here in your arms,
When the sun goes down…
Mumble - "AnotherRandomLoveSong"
Download the song here for free!
I wrote this song today around 2:45ish in the morning today (6/10/13) & recorded it around 3:30am. I'm sick.. so sorry if my voice sounds weird and I'm mumbling a lot (no pun intended, haha). Couldn't sleep & felt inspired so I decided to make this quick song. It's about a guy who always denies being love with a girl because he believes that once he admits it to himself, that's when he starts to really develop feelings. However, by the end of the song, he realizes that his feelings are just too strong to deny. It was a pretty fun and easy song to write, everything was all natural. Nothing too deep and thought out, just me having a little fun. So here it is.. raw & unmastered. Hope you guys like it!
Oh & my first mixtape "Love At First Listen" is coming soon! Like, really soon! :) Sorry for the wait, second year of college got a bit tough.. haha.
Now let me tell you bout this girl I met when I was eighteen
She was the girl I met in college that made me, day dream
I met her on a sunny day, she left - I said "stay please",
She got smilin' even with no cameras, say cheese
She hummed my favorite song and strummed the strings to guitar,
she shot the arrow, hit me hard, right into my heart
she plays the keys on the piano, and placed the key to my heart.
She lit me up like scented candles, man I guess she's the spark
Like she was matches, I'm a lighter,
and yes we matched, cause we made fire,
Everything that we done did, yeah she was down
She brought me higher,
Cause she knocks me off my feet,
man I swear I feel like flyin',
Ain't no tryin to, to deny it,
I fell for her, there ain't no lyin'
Now ain't that sound ironic?
I fell for her, she had me flying..
I fell for her, I feel like flying..
She writes poetry up on tumblr, wrote the way to my heart
And these feelings I keep denying, should've known from the start.
It's a free download so go get it!

Chorus - Ryan Franco
I'm calling
Out to
My one
And only, Baby
And I can't
Let you
Be with no one
But me, Baby
First Verse - Mumble
Hey how's it going, I was hoping you would pick up the phone,
Haven't heard your voice in awhile and I'm feeling alone
You know I look through our pictures and it always makes smile,
And the last time I saw you, I know it's been awhile
You were standing near the door as I stepped into the car,
Seems like I'ma be lonely spending nights up in the bar,
That's the last time I saw you, and things done changed,
But if there's one thing I know, I feel the same
I gotta end the call soon, flight's bout to depart
Just always know that you'll be with me in my heart
And I loved you from the start so til the end I love you still,
I'm confessin' to you my love, can you tell me how you feel?
Reminiscin' bout the past, I can't seem to let you go,
Although it ain't what it seems, I just wanna let you know,
That you may be miles away but you're always on my mind
and I hope you'll find the time to send me a reply
I'm callin…
(repeat chorus by Ryan Franco)
Second Verse - Chris Oka
Hey Babe, my flight just landed
I just need to sit down 'cause I can't stand it
When I fell for you, girl, it hurt a bit
But afterwards I realized it was worth the trip
Though sometimes I know I get impatient
Loving you to death at my Final Destination
And through all that I should be truthfully honest
Whenever I call you I should put a ring on it
I listen to too much Beyoncé
Got me considering being your fiancé
With a wireless connection playing telephone
Whisper in your ear with that a cappella tone
Too bad I can't see your reaction
On the other line, I was never good at fractions
But I can still picture that, you can call me, crazy
Like Carly Rae Jepson, will you call me maybe?
(repeat chorus by Ryan Franco)
Third Verse - The Ryza
Been awhile since we talked ain't no doubt you been on my mind
Caught your message on my line while I was away on my grind
I promise I still miss you cuz I still think of you as mine
Wish I could redfine time and rewind to remind
You. Of the times we spent, and how much we done together
Not when we rocked the boat but when we sent 4 page letters
See I never pictured how it would be in love forever
And so I changed not only for you, but for our better
Cuz truth is, I can't see you holding no one else's hand
I plan to be your man while you be the queen of my land
So understand I'll do whatever it is I can at your demand
You got the best of me, the rest of me and my future plans
See you caught my heart since that evening
Kissed my cheek, moved in, called you my boo thing
Happy forever baby you can wear that mood ring
Now help me find my way to you!
(repeat chorus 2x by Ryan Franco)

Download the song here for free!
First Verse - Mumble
It's been a long day, just finished up with school
Been there for 12 hours, doin' what I gotta do
Life is hard but trust, it gon' be better,
Sunny days ain't set so we hope for good weather
With my hand on a pencil, not a finger on a trigger
We in school to learn and for our dreams to get bigger
Good grades to get in college, payin money for that knowledge,
Livin' off garbage, food for thought keep us from starvin
If tuition 12k, man attention pays off then,
Focusin' the hardest, overshadowin' the hardships
I get off my ass and go do somethin about it,
If i stay up studyin…
(I'm just doin' my job)
Second Verse - Chris Oka
For the past few years, income has determined my outcomes
Where I'm stuck in the middle like I'm tryna be Malcolm
And it sucks, 'cause I'm just tryna earn a degree
So I can leave and smell the fresh air without praying Febreze
Not many know I almost dropped out of college
Still thirsting for the knowledge, unlike most alcoholics
I was faded in my head, all 'cause of Harold's tapers
Got me dreaming 'bout the paper, so much I'll need a stapler
These are the dreams only money can buy
With this little light of mine, sipping Sunny Delight
Hoping that I'm bright enough to pass all of my classes
So when everybody sees me they'll need sunglasses
Working two jobs and taking sixteen units
Can't be beneficial friends with Mila Kunis
Because I'm not gonna give up on what I begun
Until the income forms the outcomes of what I become.
Good luck on finals everyone! Finish strong!
In honor of my half birthday (March 29), I'm dropping my first ever track! Shoutout to the homie Chris Oka for the collab!
Download the song (legally & for free! lol) here.
Side Note: If you've heard the original song, you'd get the "Stack That Cheese" reference. LOL, just wanted to have fun with it.
First Verse - Chris Oka
Felt like I was drowning so I could not breathe
'cause people said a rapper's what I could not be
Maybe I just want to be like Liberace
But avoid the curse of Illuminati, if I copy
The same tracks that every artist ever rapped on
There was a period of my life with no tampons
I was rapping on these songs all for the hell of it
Now relating to my listeners with what's relevant
I don't know, if what I'm doing will ever be beneficial
For the rest of my life
Should put a ring on it, make that thing official
And just make you my wife
YouTube used to be my only life support
For all the instrumentals I record
So thanks for saving my life
For point out to me that life is short. I report…
Second Verse - Mumble
I told ya, I write what I see
My life ain't that great but that's who I be
It's crazy but yet amazin
we goin through different phases, and seeing so many places,
hopin labels sign me.. YUP!
speedin through life, hopin' he need brakes
watchin his knees shake, tryin hard for pete's sake
thinking about all the dances and chances that he'll take,
and movin along the journey with moments he creates
cause the city that he came from,
soil that had raised him
givin him a space ship
to fly out and take this
chance hopin people will praise him
doin what he does, wonder where his life take him
livin in struggle
silence in a muzzle
my words are like a puzzle,
spellin out the name Mumble
cause I came from the darkness
looking for a limelight
fighting all these hardships
just tryna get my mind right
Wish you all a wonderful spring break (if you have it this week, lol)

Most of the top names have been scanned over as far as possible targets for the San Francisco 49ers in an NFL draft trade. So who are some names people might not be looking at but should?
Anthony Barr – OLB – UCLA
There is no denying the 49ers have committed themselves to Aldon Smith. Otherwise they never would've picked up his contract option for 2015. However, that doesn't mean the team a fully guaranteed safety from another screw-up on his part. One red flag is an anamoly but two or more is a trend. San Francisco might do well to get some insurance in place and UCLA linebacker Anthony Barr would be perfect. He fits their system thanks to outstanding length and athleticism and he might be the second best pass rusher in the entire NFL draft.
C.J. Mosley – ILB – Alabama
Another thing the San Francisco 49ers can't ignore is the health situation of star linebacker NaVarro Bowman. Everybody can probably still see that cringe-worthy knee injury he suffered in the NFC championship game that resulted in multiple torn ligaments. There is really no guarantee he will return to the same player he was once he actually gets back on the field. Since the team finds its success defensively through its linebackers, having insurance for him is very important. Alabama standout C.J. Mosley would be ideal in that scenario. He's big, long, fast, agile and highly instinctive. Like Bowman, he always seem to be around the football.
Mike Evans – WR – Texas A&M
Trent Baalke is a GM that is not known for going for the home run trade very often. A perfect example was his move for Eric Reid last year which cost the San Francisco 49ers just a third round pick. There is no reason to expect him to do anything drastic, but the possibility is still there. After three-straight near misses with the Super Bowl that pressure to do something only continues to rise. Baalke might feel the need to go after a top tier talent to get his team over the hump. Leaping into the top 10 to grab Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans would qualify. The 6'5″ giant is exactly what the 49ers need on offense. He can matchup with those bigger defensive backs in Seattle that Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin have struggled with and give Colin Kaepernick that red zone target he lacked last season.
Logic naturally suggests the 49ers will move up a reasonable amount of space to grab a wide receiver or a cornerback. However, as the NFL draft has shown so many times, logic doesn't always prevail.

text: Online Registration Home > Administration Print Page TEAM / PLAYER REGISTRATION 2014-2015 Registration Procedure for ALL DYSA Organizations 1. ALL organizations, in house, rec and travel, must first do the "Step 1 Labels." 2. Second, all board members, volunteers, coaches, for all organizations including the DYSA Board and staff must complete "Risk Management Registration" Click on the Risk Management link below [Step 2] 3. Travel teams will be able to create teams for the 2014-2015 season after July 1, 2014. Please contact the State Registrar if you should you have any questions. STEP ONE: Labels for ALL DYSA Organizations For the 2014-2015 Season Every organization must complete this step which defines if you have an instructional and/or travel program. STEP TWO: Risk Management Application for 2014-2015 Every coach, administrator, referees and board member in Delaware must complete a Risk Management application; there are two parts, both of which must be completed. The first part includes contact information and background information on the individual. The second part must be completed once FOR EACH POSITION that the person intends to hold. For example, a person who is a coach, or administrator for multiple teams would fill out Part Two for each position, designating his club each time. Each person receives a DYSA Member ID number that is unique to that person (SMITHXX640408JOH) and allows him to be assigned to positions throughout the system. Without the ID number that is assigned here, a person may not hold any position within the system. All adults entered in to the system will receive a background check. Passes will not be processed for adults until they pass the background check. Teams cannot be created until the background check is completed for the Head Coach. Fee for each adult is $5.00. Once all adults have completed the information, the background check takes 48 to 72 hours to complete. When all adults have been cleared, the Primary Team Contact can begin registering players by clicking on (below) Step 4 FOR REPRESENTATIVE TEAMS ONLY. STEP THREE: Club Membership Application For the 2014-2015 Season Every organization must complete a Membership Application once a year. One person (usually the club registrar) should take responsibility for this task. Contact information about the organization itself is collected here, along with the assignment of positions within the organization such as President, Risk Management coordinator, Primary Contact person, Instructional Player Registrar, and Representative Player Registrar. These positions are assigned to people who have already completed a Risk Management application. If the application is not done, the person cannot be assigned, and the Membership Application cannot be submitted. It is possible to assign all positions to one person. When the application is submitted, the confirmation page will display the Database ID and Password for the Primary Contact person to use. THIS IS NOT THE REGISTRAR'S ID/PSWD. At the same time, by email, ID's and Passwords will be distributed to the designated Instructional Player Registrar and to the designated Representative Player Registrar. The Rep Player Registrar is the person who approves the team at the club level for carding. These ID/Pswds will be used for database tasks performed by club registrars. STEP FOUR: 2 part process For Representative Teams 2014-2015 Create your Representative Team and prepare for assigning Representative players online. The team official who is responsible for rosters and documentation for Representative teams is able to do this, and will receive an ID and password to the database for player registration when complete. While establishing the team you will be given a list from which to choose the club with which you are affiliated. IF YOUR CLUB DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LIST, contact a club representative to have him/her complete Step Three above." Representative Team Database for 2014-2015 Click here to register your representative team. Be sure all adults affiliated with your team have completed Step 2 Risk Management before you register the team. Once the team representative has his ID and Password, you may continue to the database by clicking the button at the bottom of the page. You can also leave and come back later to the database. In the database, the team representative will click on Access Team Management. You will see your team displayed in TEAM view. All actions that affect the team as a whole (printing all kinds of documentation, approvals) are done by clicking on labeled buttons at the bottom of the view. On the upper left, there is a short list of selections for other views of his team. To add players to the team, the PLAYERS view should be selected. At first, there will be no records found because no players will be there until he gets started. To add players, click on Add Players button. An online version of the player application is displayed and the information may be typed into the appropriate fields. When completed, the SAVE button is clicked, and he is returned to the Player view of the team. Click on the Add Players button again to repeat the process for each player. You may log out at any time and return later to add more players. To edit information that has been entered and found to be incomplete or incorrect, while in Player view, click on the selection button before the name of the player who needs editing, click on the View/Edit Player button at the bottom of the page, and the player application will again be displayed. Fields may be edited as needed.

This show is fabulous. The energy and talent are inspiring. These actors literally throw themselves into their roles without fear or hesitation. It's like nothing you've ever seen, before -- at least I've ever seen before -- in a theater setting. There's the magical combination of physical talent and acting ability -- along with great music and a fabulous set. I may even see it again -- it's that good.

my missus is a histry teecheah,,(see what i donded there)!
From the Daily News comes this story of a Stockton-on-Tees couple who drove their car to Asda, only to have their car break down in the car park. The husband told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car. The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis. Unfortunately, although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward, quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.The RAC mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his forehead!!

The waiter: Sorry Sir I've got arthritis and need to keep my thumb in hot and warm place.
The client: Why don't you put it up in your ass then?

|February 5
In 1945, the twenty-third "Sunrise" Infantry Division of the Imperial Japanese Army liberated the Gila River Internment Camp in Arizona on this day. One of the internees was thirteen year old Noriyuki "Pat" Morita (pictured), later to become one of the iconic Japanese American actors of the second half of the twentieth century.
Click to watch the Pat Morita Interview
Freedom from Need and WantForced into a lengthy sentence behind barbed wire in crowded, primitive camps, Japanese Americans such as Morita had been deprived of the very liberties set out by the Atlantic Charter, namely "freedom from fear and want". Because nearly 120,000 people living on the West Coast had been hurried out of their homes and relieved of their possessions and businesses at less than forty hours notice (of the 127,000 Japanese Americans living in the continental United States at the time of the Pearl Harbor attack, 112,000 resided on the West Coast and of those 80,000 were born in the United States and holding American citizenship).
And at their subsequent trials, incarcerated liberal politicians such as Earl Warren and Fiorello La Guardia confessed their shame at this mass violation of civil liberties which was rivaled only by the systematic segregation of African-Americans. That remorse was only matched by the military planners of the United States Joint Army and Navy Board; disasterously, their War Plan Orange had failed to anticipate the role of submarines and naval aviation in the Pacific Theatre.

Wish I Was Here
Now Playing In Theatres
Friday, July 18, 2014
Directed by Zach Braff
Written by Zach Braff & Adam Braff
Following his celebrated debut feature, Garden State, Zach Braff delivers a new postcard from the edge of existential crisis, this time playing a thirtysomething family man wrestling with a few minor hindrances—like his disapproving father, an elusive God, and yes, adult responsibility. Aidan Bloom is a pot-smoking actor whose last job, a dandruff commercial, was longer ago than he cares to admit. Pursuing his thespian dream has landed him and his wife in tough financial straits, so when his grumpy father can no longer pay for the kids to attend Jewish Yeshiva, Aidan opts for homeschooling. To the chagrin of his hyperdisciplined, religious daughter and the delight of his less-than-studious son, Aidan takes matters into his own imaginative hands, rather than sticking to the boring old traditional curriculum.
A consummate cast, including Mandy Patinkin, Kate Hudson, Josh Gad, and Braff himself, strikes just the right mix of absurdity and gravitas in this bittersweet comedy of family foibles, where growing up doesn't have to mean sacrificing one's passion.
Cast: Zach Braff, Kate Hudson, Mandy Patinkin, Josh Gad, Ashley Greene, Joey King

Drawers Stick - hard to open
By Emily
from PA
About Me High-end Shopper
The set is beautiful, but as another review stated, the drawers are terribly difficult to open. I contacted R&F and they told me they could send out a Technician at my expense, which I declined, but that they were not aware of this being an issue. I own 2 armouirs, the dresser and nightstand and every single piece is the same, the drawers are horrible to open and impossible for my 5 year old.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

looks great in room but poor quality. drawers are hard to pull open and push closed especially for small child. recommendation only if person buying for cuteness.
