I don't think this article is very neutral - it seems to be filled with so-called 'underground' music marketing hyperbole. The phrases 'classic' 'breakthrough' 'groundbreaking' 'influential' 'took the U.K. by a [sic] storm' all appear in the first 3 paragraphs. Perhaps quoting the bands and reputable reviewers, then toning down the language in the main article.
I amended the "Releases include" section to an album Discography. Here's what I removed:
- Cold-Cut-Outs
- Everything Is Under Control
- Re:volution
- Timber
- More Beats & Pieces
- Atomic Moog & Boot The System
- All City
- Autumn Leaves
- People Hold On
- True Skool (single featuring Roots Manuva released March 18th) from the new album, Sound Mirrors)
Someone may want to add these back in under a "Discography: Singles" section... Gram 13:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Luminary status[edit]
I would agree that the article definitely has a sensationalist tone and the language is defintely over-the-top. For example, "such luminaries as Junior Reid (who, I'm afraid, I've never heard of - if he's such a 'luminary' then, surely, I'd have heard of him. Besides, the term is purely subjective; I would consider such artists as Paul Weller, Bob Geldof (whatever you might think of him) and Lemmy to be luminaries (thought I'd better mention Lemmy in case my boyfriend ever reads this!) You could add Freddie Mercury to that list as being (to the best of my knowledge) the first frontman to come out as homosexual. THAT'S my definition of a 'luminary' - someone who breaks the mould. Queen were luminaries too, of course, as Bohemian Rhapsody was the first song to have a video (at Freddie's insitence - without Freddie, channels like MTV, VH, Bliss, etc wouldn't exist).
What makes Queen Latifah a luminary? She wasn't the first female rap artist (though I couldn't tell you who the first was - please, someone, feel free to enlighten me). And as for Junior Reid - who, if he was such an eminent figure in, I assume, black music, then he'd have a Wikipedia entry - and I'd have heard of him).
Okay, I'll end this now, but I'll end it by saying that it really irks me when such words as 'eminent' 'luminary' 'superstar', etc., are bandied around, instead of being reserved for those who are truly worthy of such accolades as, eventually, they lose all meaning. Margo 19:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- I don't dispute that this article may contain non-neutral POV by any means, however, I disagree with much of your statement above.
- "if he's such a 'luminary' then, surely, I'd have heard of him."
- Why would you (or me, or any individual) have to hear of someone before they can be classed as a "luminary" by others? By a majority, even? A quick dictionary definition of luminary (as opposed to your own definition) -
- "A person who is an inspiration to others. A person who has achieved eminence in a specific field."
- Well, I've heard of Junior Reid, but was not personally aware of his music. A quick search reveals he is a Jamaican reggae / dancehall musician who has been recording since the mid 70s and has released 25+ solo albums. He was a member of "Voice of Progress" and later Grammy award winning band Black Uhuru. Madonna tried to sign him to her label but he resisted. He evidently has fame and longevity and is respected for his talent, albeit outside of your limited musical environment. He may indeed be inspirational and have achieved eminence in his specific field. Therefore, he could well be worthy of the label "luminary", particularly to his primary fanbase in Jamaica.
- Why would you (or me, or any individual) have to hear of someone before they can be classed as a "luminary" by others? By a majority, even? A quick dictionary definition of luminary (as opposed to your own definition) -
- "if he was such an eminent figure in, I assume, black music, then he'd have a Wikipedia entry - and I'd have heard of him"
- Not every notable person in the world has a Wikipedia entry. Not every person who has a Wikipedia article is notable. It is likely that the vast majority of musician and band articles on Wikipedia are written by fans. All this suggests is that Junior Reid fans might not be inclined to write Wikipedia articles!
- "I would consider such artists as Paul Weller, Bob Geldof [...] and Lemmy to be luminaries [...] You could add Freddie Mercury to that list!"
- Exactly. You would consider those artists luminaries. Because you feel these characters are inspirational. Fair enough, you could go and add the word luminary to those artists' articles if you wanted. However, if a Junior Reid or Queen Latifah fan came back and argued that they didn't believe those artists to be luminaries, their point would be no different from yours and equally subjective. In my own subjective view, I understand why you have given Weller, Geldof and Mercury the "luminary" status, the latter two particularly as they have notability beyond just their music. And as for Lemmy, he was a frontman of a dodgy rock band who've been trading off the fame of one song for the whole of their careers. I would not necessarily agree with you that any of these people are luminaries (I don't feel inspired by any of them), but neither would I campaign to have the "L" word removed from their articles, especially if I was unaware of who they were, or why they were so highly critically regarded.
- "What makes Queen Latifah a luminary?"
- Again, it is subjective - you may feel she is not a luminary, but others evidently do. She has had a music career spanning 6 albums, 5 as a female rapper in what was a male-dominated musical genre. She won a Grammy for her music and has been nominated for an Oscar. She is clearly a role model as a strong black woman. She will undoubtedly be inspirational to some, even if you are not one of them. Some people will feel she is eminient in her specific field and worthy of the label.
- "She wasn't the first female rap artist (though I couldn't tell you who the first was - please, someone, feel free to enlighten me)."
- Seeing as you asked. It's hard to say for certain, but:
- Debbie Harry is credited by some as performing the first female rap, in her performance of the song "Rapture" in 1980, which brought hip hop to a larger (and indeed, white) audience.
- The Sequence were possibly the first female rap crew who started out in 1979.
- Lady B was the possibly the first female rapper to record as a solo artist, in 1980.
- By the way, seeing as this is an article about Coldcut, are they luminaries?!
- Gram 11:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Junior Reid is indeed a luminary and in fact continues to work to this day as a distributed recording artist. Talk about ethnocentric! And as someone who was THERE at the time, I assure you Coldcut were a sensation! THey made the cover of NME no less than three times in a two year span and were routinely tapped for musical opinions and commentary. Furthermore, if you don't think a small startup label run from someone's spare room spawning three hit singles in less than a year is sensational then I suggest you tell us how it would be commonplace. Instead of arguing, why don't you read the article and LEARN something! That said, the marketing jargon is indeed too much and lacks reference as being intended or stated by Ninjatune. <Tednor (talk • contribs) 08:13, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Coldcut's best known stuff?[edit]
Surely Coldcut's best known single is Timber, which was accompanied by a video that featured prominently on MTV and elsewhere. The other singles mentioned were, according to the biog, from the very start of their career. Batterburger 18:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
the history seems to stop at 1991. there's no mention of Let Us Play. i thought that was their big classic breakthrough album, and that timber and beatsnpieces were big classic songs. whats up with that?Kansaikiwi (talk) 00:41, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
From the article:
"...religious writings of J. R. "Bob" Dobbs as they do to..."
As far as I'm aware, Dobbs being a fictional character has never written anything. --184.108.40.206 (talk) 08:20, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

- An integrative framework
- Abstract:
- Grocery retailers from Aldi to Wal-Mart strive to satisfy their customers. Grocery shopping is a frequently recurring activity that can provide both utilitarian and hedonic value to customers. Utilitarian value is derived from accomplishing the need that stimulated a particular shopping trip, whereas hedonic value reflects the potential entertainment and emotional worth associated with the shopping trip. Recognising this duality, in addition to enabling customers to satisfy utilitarian needs related to product-acquisition, grocery retailers increasingly try to offer customers pleasurable shopping experiences, even to entertain them. Because there is evidence suggesting even satisfied customers sometimes switch brands and retailers due to boredom, it is important for retailers to continuously engage consumers and stir interest in a given store. Satisfying customers again and again on individual shopping trips is a prerequisite for developing customer loyalty. However, there is surprisingly little research focusing on satisfaction with individual shopping trips. On the contrary, satisfaction is normally conceptualised and studied as an overall evaluation of a given retailer based on all encounters with that retailer. There are relatively few studies of satisfaction within the grocery retail sector. However, because grocery shopping is a frequently recurring activity that is often routine and task-oriented in nature, and thus dominated by utilitarian rather than hedonic concerns, different mechanisms may be at work than in other retail settings such as themed flagship stores, which are visited less regularly and are oriented more towards creating hedonic shopping experiences. This paper develops a conceptual framework for analysing customer satisfaction with individual shopping trip experiences in grocery retailing. The framework makes at least two important contributions to the literature. First, it focuses on customer satisfaction with individual shopping trips whereas previous research and theoretical frameworks have addressed either overall satisfaction with the retailer, service quality or the quality of the products being bought. Second, the framework synthesizes and integrates a number of central concepts from different streams of research into one common framework for analysing shopping trip satisfaction.

WASHINGTON — A little more than a month ago, Rex Ryan was undoubtedly at the top of the list of NFL coaches positioned for the hot seat.
It may have seemed like just a matter of time before the embattled New York Jets coach was shown the door amid a different direction charted by new GM John Idzik. Remember? The guy was walking backward — literally and figuratively.
How times have changed.
SHOCKER: Jets pull off upset in Atlanta
The Jets, with rookie quarterback Geno Smith, are one of the NFL's biggest surprises.
Monday night's 30-28 upset victory at Atlanta left Ryan's team (3-2) just a game behind the New England Patriots for first place in the AFC East.
Rather than a countdown for firing Ryan, is he saving his job?
VIDEO: Where are Jets in our new power rankings?
See if the Broncos remain number one in this week's Power Rankings.
"I'm not talking about Rex," Jets owner Woody Johnson told USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday, during a break at the NFL owners meetings.
Hey, somebody has to ask.
Ryan's contract expires after the 2014 season, and apparently there's been no talk of an extension.
Stay tuned. Although the Jets' performances are trending positively toward the notion of keeping Ryan, it's a long season. And Johnson, fresh off the trip to Atlanta, won't discuss it until later.
"I won't talk about it during the season," Johnson said.
For Ryan, though, at least the conversation is changing.

Short Child by Paul Kaplowitz
Book DescriptionEach year large numbers of parents become concerned that their children are shorter than their peers or seem to be falling behind. 5% of children under 14 fall below the normal range on the growth charts and their parents are often sufficiently worried to consult a specialist. Until now these parents had no authoritive source of information to either reassure them or guide them in seeking help. In this groundbreaking book two of the leading experts in the field provide those concerned parents with thorough, up-to-date information on the issues surrounding the diagnosis and treatment of growth disorders, inc. The role of genetics, nutrition and hormones in normal growth; when parents should and shouldn't worry about their child's growth pattern; the most up-to-date information on treatments, including the controversial use of growth hormones and much more.

When you were a kid, you likely dreamed of days where your diet consisted only of gummy bears and chocolate syrup; now, you realize this combination only leads to two things: a sugar coma and a seriously upset stomach. What's more, you realize that balance in life, work, play, spending, and even eating, is best. Life is a balancing act. When deciding how to spend your tax refund, balance your impulse to splurge. Be strategic, but also creative. Here are some savvy and balanced ways to spend this year's tax refund:
Strategic Refund Moves
Boost your emergency fund. Life is full of curve balls and unexpected expenses. An emergency can pop up at any time, and whether it's as small as a flat tire or as large as a long-term illness, an emergency reserve can help you deal with unforeseen costs.
Pay off debt. Put your refund towards your highest interest loans or lines of credit. Interest payments take money out of your pocket each month that you could put towards other important costs of living.
Boost your retirement savings. According to the United States Department of Labor, fewer than half of Americans have calculated how much they need for retirement. Even less are regularly saving for retirement.
Pay your premiums in full. By paying your auto or life insurance premium in full, you won't have to worry about remembering to make a monthly payment. Some companies also charge a monthly transaction fee, so if you pay in full, you could actually end up saving money in the long-term.
Creative Refund Moves
Give to others. Do you end up spending more than you anticipated on gifts during November and December? Consider creating a gift fund so you're ready for these months, or donate to a charity you're passionate about. Or, consider helping a friend in need with a grocery or gas gift card.
Take a trip. Going into debt for an unrealistic and exotic trip could put a damper on what should be a relaxing time. Use your tax refund as your trip budget. It doesn't matter where you go. Whether's its a 60 minute drive or a 6,000 mile plane ride, going somewhere new and exciting can give you the vacation fix you crave. What's more, you won't have to go into debt. If you've only got few days, check out our suggestions for fun, budget-friendly weekends.
Invest in your health. It's never too late to invest in your own health. Put your tax refund towards something that never goes out of style – your health. Buy a gym membership, new running shoes, or book an appointment with a massage therapist or chiropractor. You'll feel better and reduce your chances of developing many common aches and pains.
Repair, don't replace. Instead of buying a new phone, game system, or home appliance, what if you had it repaired? Chances are, you don't really need something shiny and new, and you can have your gadget repaired for a fraction of the price.
If you haven't yet filed your taxes, consider getting a prepaid debit card and enrolling in direct deposit. When you e-file, your tax refund will be deposited right onto your prepaid card, which means you don't have to worry about waiting for your tax refund check, waiting in line to cash it, or even losing it.
Strike a balance between sensible and silly by thinking creatively and strategically about your tax refund this season. Have some fun, but don't forget about the necessities of today and tomorrow. Remember, balance is key!

Connecting biology and mechanics in fracture healing: An integrated mathematical modeling framework for the study of nonunions

Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology | Year: 2010
Both mechanical and biological factors play an important role in normal as well as impaired fracture healing. This study aims to provide a mathematical framework in which both regulatory mechanisms are included. Mechanics and biology are coupled by making certain parameters of a previously established bioregulatory model dependent on local mechanical stimuli. To illustrate the potential added value of such a framework, this coupled model was applied to investigate whether local mechanical stimuli influencing only the angiogenic process can explain normal healing as well as overload-induced nonunion development. Simulation results showed that mechanics acting directly on angiogenesis alone was not able to predict the formation of overload-induced nonunions. However, the direct action of mechanics on both angiogenesis and osteogenesis was able to predict overload-induced nonunion formation, confirming the hypotheses of several experimental studies investigating the interconnection between angiogenesis and osteogenesis. This study shows that mathematical models can assist in testing hypothesis on the nature of the interaction between biology and mechanics. © 2010 Springer-Verlag. Source

Implant-related infections are a serious complication in prosthetic surgery, substantially jeopardizing implant fixation. As porous coatings for improved osseointegration typically present an increased surface roughness, their resulting large surface area (sometimes increasing with over 700% compared to an ideal plane) renders the implant extremely susceptible to bacterial colonization and subsequent biofilm formation. Therefore, there is particular interest in orthopaedic implantology to engineer surfaces that combine both the ability to improve osseointegration and at the same time reduce the infection risk. As part of this orthopaedic coating development, the interest of in vitro studies on the interaction between implant surfaces and bacteria/biofilms is growing. In this study, the in vitro staphylococcal adhesion and biofilm formation on newly developed porous pure Ti coatings with 50% porosity and pore sizes up to 50 μm is compared to various dense and porous Ti or Ti-6Al-4V reference surfaces. Multiple linear regression analysis indicates that surface roughness and hydrophobicity are the main determinants for bacterial adherence. Accordingly, the novel coatings display a significant reduction of up to five times less bacterial surface colonization when compared to a commercial state-of-the-art vacuum plasma sprayed coating. However, the results also show that a further expansion of the porosity with over 15% and/or the pore size up to 150 μm is correlated to a significant increase in the roughness parameters resulting in an ascent of bacterial attachment. Chemically modifying the Ti surface in order to improve its hydrophilicity, while preserving the average roughness, is found to strongly decrease bacteria quantities, indicating the importance of surface functionalization to reduce the infection risk of porous coatings. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bone formation is a very complex physiological process, involving the participation of many different cell types and regulated by countless biochemical, physical and mechanical factors, including naturally occurring or synthetic biomaterials. For the latter, calcium phosphate (CaP)-based scaffolds have proven to stimulate bone formation, but at present still result in a wide range of in vivo outcomes, which is partly related to the suboptimal use and combination with osteogenic cells. To optimize CaP scaffold selection and make their use in combination with cells more clinically relevant, this study uses an integrative approach in which mathematical modeling is combined with experimental research. This paper describes the development and implementation of an experimentally informed bioregulatory model of the effect of calcium ions released from CaP-based biomaterials on the activity of osteogenic cells and mesenchymal stem cell driven ectopic bone formation. The amount of bone formation predicted by the mathematical model corresponds to the amount measured experimentally under similar conditions. Moreover, the model is also able to qualitatively predict the experimentally observed impaired bone formation under conditions such as insufficient cell seeding and scaffold decalcification. A strategy was designed in silico to overcome the negative influence of a low initial cell density on the bone formation process. Finally, the model was applied to design optimal combinations of calcium-based biomaterials and cell culture conditions with the aim of maximizing the amount of bone formation. This work illustrates the potential of mathematical models as research tools to design more efficient and cell-customized CaP scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. © 2011 Acta Materialia Inc.

Analytical determination of stress patterns in the periodontal ligament during orthodontic tooth movement

A dedicated software package that allows simulation of tooth movement can lead to shortening of the treatment program in orthodontics. A first step in the development of this software is the modelling of the movement of a single tooth. Forces applied to the crown of the tooth are transmitted to the alveolar bone through the periodontal ligament, stretching, and compressing the ligament, eventually resulting in tooth movement. This paper presents an analytical model that predicts stresses and strains inside this ligament by approximating the shape of the root as an elliptic paraboloid. The model input consists of 2 material parameters and 4 geometrical parameters. To assess the accuracy of the model a finite element model (FEM) was constructed to compare the results and the influence of the eccentricity of the root was studied. The results show that the model is able to successfully describe the global behavior of the PDL and, except at a region near the alveolar crest, the differences between analytical and FEM results are small. In contrast to FEM, the analytical model does not require setting up a 3D-model and creating a mesh, allowing for significantly lower computational times and reducing cost when implementing in clinical practice. © 2012 IPEM.

Progress in medicine and higher expectation of quality of life has led to a higher demand for several dental and medical treatments. This increases the occurrence of situations in which orthodontic treatment is complicated by pathological conditions, medical therapies and drugs. Together with experiments, computer models might lead to a better understanding of the effect of pathologies and medical treatment on tooth movement. This study uses a previously presented mechanobiological model of orthodontic tooth displacement to investigate the effect of pathologies and (medical) therapies on the result of orthodontic treatment by means of three clinically relevant case studies looking at the effect of estrogen deficiency, the effect of OPG injections and the influence of fluoride intake. When less estrogen was available, the model predicted bone loss and a rise in the number of osteoclasts present at the compression side, and a faster bone resorption. These effects were also observed experimentally. Experiments disagreed on the effect of estrogen deficiency on bone formation, while the mechanobiological model predicted very little difference between the pathological and the non-pathological case at formation sites. The model predicted a decrease in tooth movement after OPG injections or fluoride intake, which was also observed in experiments. Although more experiments and model analysis is needed to quantitatively validate the mechanobiological model used in this study, its ability to conceptually describe several pathological conditions is an important measure for its validity. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Oscar Pistorius is a legend in South Africa. We call him the Blade Runner due to his unique blade-like prosthetics. Pistorius lost both his legs before his first birthday, but that didn't slow him down for a second. Not only is he a gold medalist and world record holder in the 400m Paralympic event, but he has competed as a world-class sprinter alongside able-bodied athletes in World Championships and the Olympics. That will put a spring in anyone's step. But then tragedy tripped him up in a mystifying, allegedly split-second, decision.
On Valentines Day he shot and killed his girlfriend in the early hours of the morning by shooting through a locked bathroom door.
In a country that enjoys most of its legal drama vicariously (thanks OJ, President Clinton, and the cast of The Practice), this bizarre story of supposed self-defense has set off the South African media in a spectacular steeple-chase for the truth, through the obfuscation of cockamamie testimony and a badly blundered Police investigation (we are handicapped by the absence of a "CSI Pretoria" unit).
The drama will no doubt soon be a film with sub-titles. But in the meantime no one can make out they what, why, and how of this debacle.
Currently, the case centers around whether this was pre-meditated murder, or self-defense. That's quite a gap to traverse, even for the most dexterous attorney. For the defense to have any leg to stand on, it needs to prove that it is reasonable for a person to shoot multiple times through the locked bathroom door of their own home, convinced they are under attack.
To most foreign spectators, this seems as utterly implausible. But in South Africa a domestic bump in the night usually means an armed intruder. This beleaguered country holds the dubious records for violent crimes, armed robbery, burglary, and car-jackings. Our besieged citizenry lives ensconced in the fortifications of their efforts at self-preservations. Many people have taken to living in a gated communities, with guards, electric fencing, motion-detectors, burglar alarms, and panic buttons linked to armed response units. My neighbor, in eye-watering desperation, has an alarm that triggers a gas emission that floods the house with pepper spray. (Seriously).
Many South Africans live in a settled state of alert concern for their security. Crime is the most prevalent reason given for the popular dream of emigration (i.e. exiting the country, not to be confused with its close cousin, immigration, which also shoulders some of the blame for crime).
So, it is not by any means outrageous to consider the possibly of a judge deeming shooting in one's home to be an act of accidental manslaughter in self-defense. Earlier this year a father was indicted for the tragic accidental killing of his six year old daughter when he shot through his bedroom door into the hallway, also in a paranoid assumption that the doorknob was being tampered with by a violent aggressor.
It is this culture of fear that paralyzes common sense. The solution is not control the guns more (as a I argued in "What works better than gun control?"). Increasing the police force, enlarging prisons, enforcing sentences, are all legitimate efforts to outrun the fear. But eventually we need to realize that life can be lived to God's glory within the turmoil. The option to remove it, curtail it, or escape it is not always available. In those times believers in the good and sovereign God have another recourse. We can take hope in our God's sovereignty, lay up treasures in heaven, and rest in the peace of a secure salvation.
The prophet Habakkuk had the lyric aptitude of a Bob Dylan and the theological acuity of a John MacArthur. He was told by God in chilling detail that he would experience in his lifetime the bloodthirsty invasion of the Chaldeans. He knew with terrifying certainty that there would be no safety, no food, no resources, and no escape from a breathtakingly frightful death. His response was to shake with fear, but simultaneously stay surefooted in his trust of God's goodness and the security of his salvation.
I hear, and my body trembles; my lips quiver at the sound; rottenness enters into my bones; my legs tremble beneath me. Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble to come upon people who invade us. Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:16-18).
The remedy for the choking fear that smothers us is to love one's own life less. What South Africa needs is more Christians who are not clutching onto this life with so much white-knuckled intensity that they forget who is in charge of their bodies and souls (Matt 10:28). Jesus does not want his followers to be so distracted by worry and fear that they cannot function in this life to the glory of the Father (Luke 12:29-34).
What South Africa needs is an influx of courageous missionaries.
And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!" (Rom 10:15)
Even without a supporting agency, simply moving, working, and living here by choice, is a testimony to a watching population. I love and admire the American, British, and Canadian missionaries in our flock, who have leapt from the safe nest of their homelands and landed on our unsettled soil with both feet.
And to my fellow South Africans, remember Habakkuk's message. When you feel like your legs are useless from trembling in fear, only God can restore the surefootedness of your faith.
God, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer's; he makes me tread on my high places. (Habakkuk 3:19).

Enjoy panoramic, leaf-free views this February at Shaw Nature Reserve. A hike in the winter might be chilly, but just think of the ticks, mosquitoes and poison ivy that are usually gone by now. Hiking at night in the winter is also a rewarding experience—quiet compared to other times of the year.
February is a great time to practice your winter tree identification skills. As you hike along Brush Creek Trail, you will see many trees labeled to help you with this activity. After that, you can wander around the Whitmire Wildflower Garden. Several of the trails there are accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. You might see juncos, finches, and sparrows feeding on seed heads of coneflowers (Echinacea spp. and Rudbeckia spp.), sunflowers (Helianthus spp.) and blazingstars (Liatris spp.) in the wildflower garden's prairie.
The main three-mile loop road is closed for the winter, but you can still park at the Visitor Center, Bascom House or Pinetum Lake, and hike around the Reserve. Call the Visitor Center at (636) 451-3512 to find out what other roads might be closed due to weather conditions.

Proud As A Peacock
Peacocks of the male variety will proudly show their colorful feathers as a way of trying to impress a female peacock whom they find attractive. There is certainly no shortage of peacocks on the human variety that will boast of anything they've done or maybe not done but claim to have. It is unfortunate that humility has become a forgotten trait; one who has humility is often overlooked by our careless society because they do not walk around flaunting their talents. They don't have 'swag' nor care to. This is actually quite admirable and people should be extremely proud of their humility if it is possible to do such a thing.

I haven't stayed at this place. Someone joined VT with the sole purpose of advertising it on the forum. The forum posting was deleted of course but it doesn't look like a bad place. Thought I'd make a note of it here, if nothing else for my own future reference. I'd like to return to Mallorca some day.

We stayed at the Bellevue Holiday Village in Alcudia.
It consists of several blocks of self catering apartments and each block has its own pool (there are 8 pools to use!)The complex is like a self contained village and has supermarkets,bars,restaurants,go-karts,tennis courts,doctors,and a massive entertainment area called the Showgarden.
The layout of the complex is very pretty as it is situated by a large lake and has small canals running through the complex with water fountains.

I believe that one of the most beatiful ways to stay in this Island is renting a rural house. This is a really different way to enjoy nature without mass tourism around you! All this houses are located inside island but distances from inner to the coast by car are really short. Also is an interesting experience change every day of beach and cove.
Attainable prices, good facilities, peace, great views...

we stayed in a hotel... we didn't really know what to expect, so we got a bit more expensive choice away from the noise, which turned out to be a bit of mistake... it was mostly families with children in that hotel, and we felt a bit like the black sheep of the hotel to be coming in at 9a.m., going down for breakfast and going to bed after that... Here's a pic taken in our hotel room... quite revealing on what our nutrition consisted of... oops! Alot different from what I remember from my childhood holidays!!(most of it was souvenirs to take home -believe it or not)

We paid £269 for one week. Including accomodation and flight and all food.
All inclusive. One of the best all inclusives We have been on.
All you can eat. All you can drink.
There are three hotels sharing the facilities, but there are plenty of things to choose from. There were about five swimming pools. A boting lake, archery , bikes to hire, horse riding.There were various choices of food. There was a cafe where you just help yourself to free ice cream drinks etc.All around the pool there were little cafes serving slices of pizza, sandwiches , chips and burgers. All free of course. You could stuff yourself silly.

Excellent 4.0 /5 from 191 reviews
It was a small space so it hugs you. You have choices of food. At breakfast, i see managers walking around to ensure all was well. You are escorted to a table. Awesome entertainment and great workers. No regrets
We had an amazing time at the Royalton, we booked a family room as we checked in we were informed by front desk we have been upgraded to one of the ground floor units with its own pool in front. We have to say thank you very much to Royalton for the upgrade it made our few days a truly wonderful experience the staff were all wonderful. The only place I think the Royalton need to change is the staff at the bar where the adult pppl was. I found the staff in that specific bar was rude and got the idea they really did not want to be there. however all the other staff from the ground staff , cleaning ladies all of them was super friendly and was extremely helpful
The staff were very friendly and attentive and the accommodations were superb. The food could rival any 5 star restaurant!
Check-in was good then we were taken to our room by concierge...first room smelt a bit moldy so asked for a change...next room ...so small and dusty. Food was good bit there were too many mosquitoes around to enjoy much outdoors early evening. Staff was great....would not recommend for couples getaway but as a family destination with the kids
It was a good stay. The staff is wonderful and care about your comfort. I look forward to next time.

By: Abigail Hofman Published on: October 2012 Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus One of the participants at the dinner had also been present at the Federal Reserves annual symposium in August at Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Mole reported that Bernanke was now wildly unpopular with his central bank colleagues, especially those from the emerging markets. These central bankers perceive the Feds infatuation with indefinite QE as a recipe for disaster. A weaker dollar means stronger emerging market currencies, which in turn makes exports more expensive. A weaker dollar also increases the price of key commodities such as oil and grains, and this makes for a febrile political environment as the poor suffer more.I reflected...

You should move this to the Other deals and requests forum because although you are selling a GC related to video games, you are looking for PayPal, which is something that isn't needed.
Correction, he should move this to auctions/auction discussion. You will find plenty of people straight selling games and other thing's, If it is on ebay though, that does not go in this section, This is for trades strictly through CAG.

text: Hi there, I'm new to these forums and know that you guys would of probably had to answer these sort of questions to many noobs but still any help would be greatly appreciated. Basically I am a tad on the shorter side of the gene pool (5ft 6 don't laugh) and would like advise on a bergen that will be okay for my frame, It will be used for military use as I plan to join the TA soon and I have heard standard bergens suck (bad back support etc) I do plan to use the bergen quite often to train in too so can anyone help me out on a good bergen? I was thinking about the Karrimor saber 75.

Without Even Looking I'll Bet…
Posted by Cliff Lyon in This Blog on December 5, 2008
…this video will have been around the world today if not already.
Its a very executed viral ad for JC Penney Jewelry.
It also makes fun of men for being too stupid to fully accept and surrender to the *real* needs of women (material gestures) – as if for our own good.
I'm not sure what I think. But it IS very funny.
I wonder of more women will send it to men, than men to men?

29 Jun 2007, 18:06 by ampsterhey! out of last week's top 10 most listened, seven were women! that's pretty sweet. and of all sorts too - a cat power crossed with nirvana by way of nottingham wig-wearing ingenue (Scout Niblett). a sass funk muthafucking jazz heroine who married and bedded and divorced and outplayed some of the finest musicians of her age (Betty Davis). a guitarist (Marnie Stern) inspired to learn to SHRED by Sleater-Kinney (three more righteous women, formed from the ashes of original riot grrrl band Heavens to Betsy). a french chanteuse (Francoise Hardy). bow-wielding asskicking CELLO PLAYERS (Matson Jones). and a girly power punk songbelter who doesn't like your girlfriend and sounds like toni basil about it (Avril Lavigne). i'm oddly proud of that. (no, not listening to avril lavigne.) that in a musical landscape still dominated by gentlemen, i have, quite naturally, graduated towards sounds made by ladies. and one day, it won't even need to be something to be proud of. one day, it won't even be a thing!
Now you see me getting better, I'm right here on display
17 Mar 2007, 00:28 by mandee_jayneFirst, make a list of your top-20 artists overall. Then, for each of these artists, add the 5 most similar artists to your list. Delete any duplicates, count up the number of entries on your list and this will give you some idea of how eclectic your listening habits are. A score of 6 represents an extremely unvaried musical taste while a 120 represents an extremely varied one.
1. The Dresden Dolls
2. Jaggery
3. Ladytron
4. Emilie Autumn
5. Client
6. Regina Spektor
7. Rasputina
8. Pretty Balanced
9. Switchblade Symphony
10. Morgan Grace
11. Denali
12. Pony Up!
13. A Particularly Vicious Rumor
14. Darling Violetta
15. Cranes
16. Humanwine
17. Victory At Sea
18. Vox Vermillion
19. Matson Jones
20. The Gathering frick...tied with Flyleaf and only one above The Trucks. Oh well, I'm listening to The Gathering right now, so it will be my 20th I suppose.
I've decided I'm only going to tag the similar artists if I like/listen to them as well and they're not on the list above. …
Matson Jones
22 Feb 2007, 02:53 by inkteaI spent a lot of time listening to Pandora.com for a while, and came across a lot of bands I liked, but Matson Jones hit closest to my heart. I like combinations of pretty and gritty, I like electronic tangled up with live instruments (especially strings and percussion), I like minor keys and playful lyrics (which is the main reason why I like Joanna Newsom).
I was playing a mixed disc called "Barn Burned Down" for my cousin on the way back from South Dakota after Christmas this year, and he asked who a lot of the artists were. He was incredibly surprised that I had Matson Jones in my repetoire, as they were a "local band" for him from his days in Colorado, and someone he'd seen live.
Clean recordings have their place, but so do gritty ones. And Matson Jones has a place right next to my pretty, gritty heart.
*FINAL* Albums Purchased in 2006 (complete w/ mini-reviews!)
7 Jan 2007, 01:14 by PassioneerLast year, my New Year's resolution of sorts was to a.) buy more music in 2006 and b.) keep up with current releases better than I had in the past. This was brought on by me realizing just how much music I had been downloading and that I had only purchased about five new releases in 2005 that I can remember. One year later, I have to say that I think I accomplished my goal successfully. I spent almost every dollar I acquired on music, beefing up my collection quite drastically, and managed to get most of the new releases I was interested in (though, as always, there are still a few I need). As to be expected, there were a few I couldn't completely grow to love (and one huge dud I couldn't get into at all) and a few that I did like but have grown tired of, but overall I'm very happy with the albums I bought throughout the year. I discovered a lot of new artists that I now consider among my favorites and I got around to buying some stuff from artists I had long loved but never actually purchased anything from.

Last ever bored at internship weekly review!
19 Dec 2006, 17:14 by mandee_jayneSo I'm officially a college graduate. I've got a website yet to make, no big deal, but what I'm more excited about is that this is my last full day of being bored at my internship! I've got 3 hours on Thursday still, but that'll be just cleaning up and whatnot. Anyway, so this is the last time I'll be whining while I post my weekly artists, and my last regular, every Tuesday thing. I'll only be posting when I'm bored from home, which might still be a lot since I have no life, and soon I'll have no homework and only two jobs instead of three! But we shall see. I just can't wait to be done with this fucking place!! Anyway, onto this week's music...
1. Denali
Pandora introduced me to Ambulette, Denali's singer's new band, and I went back and found some Denali early this week and fell in love. They should have had more plays but I had a couple computer issues last week that caused my computer to shut itself down, and when it restarted, my last. …
Weekly recap, pictures, and lyrics help please!
5 Dec 2006, 16:21 by mandee_jayneI'm so tired I just can't possibly get any work done. It hurts to yawn. What's wrong with me? I went to bed almost on time last night. I just hate this place and want to go home and sleep.
So instead I'll waste a little bit of time doing this, maybe I will be a bit more awake after :)
1. Client
I'm pretty much obsessed with about 4 of these songs. The pretty ones, they are gorgeous, and I listen to them about a million times. I like the rest of them too, though some is a little too upbeat of electronica, depending on my mood. But these 4, I really love: The Chill of October, Man Overboard, Heartland, and Everything Must End...178 listens last week and more than half were probably those songs alone.
2. Ladytron
I guess it was just a very electronic week for me. Pretty much everything else I listened to was on random (I had my playlist on random a lot last week), but Client and Ladytron were specifically played because I'm so in love with them.
3. Cranes

How to succeed on Neopets and make tons of NeoPoints.
What is Neopets?
Neopets is an all inclusive virtual pet website launched in 1999. It allows creativity, goal setting, independence, and fun. A user on this website can choose and customize up to four pets. They then must earn "neopoints" to buy food, toys, customization items, and items to complete quests or goals.
Of course, it is completely possible to ignore all of the other functions, and simply create a pet, and play games or hang out in a forum all day long.
I've played Neopets for about seven years off and on. Some people think it is a completely juvenile website, and though it is at times aimed toward a younger audience, it still allows users with more experience to stay challenged and engaged. However when a user first starts out they need to be aware of a few things.
Neopets Goes Cross Platform
Neopets Scandals
Although Neopets is a child friendly website, it has had it's fair share of scandals.
- Immersive Advertising: After the site was bought by Doug Dohring, they began to implement "immersive advertising." This generally took the form as advertising in the form of a game, or "sponsored" activities. This gained negative attention specifically since the advertising was aimed at the young audiences. The public received this a big companies trying to "brainwash" children into buying their products.
- Jumpstart: Jumpstart bought the website in 2014, and has been plagued with problems since. The problems have ranged from glitches making the site unusable to chat filters breaking and causing the entire set to be flooded with adult content to Jumpstart firing the majority of the original Neopets staff.
Neopets Starter Guide
- Stay with one pet for at least a month. It's tempting to create all four pets your first day. However, once a pet is created it needs to be cared for, and if you are a first time player, then you need to focus more on building your empire than finding cheap food for all of your pets.
- Set goals. Do you want to collect all the stamps, train your pet to be a great fighter, become a genius and read all the books available, or earn the most trophies for high scores in the game room? Regardless of the goal, set it and stick to it, but don't forget to take care of your pet.
- Start your shop. You will find free items on the site that you do not need, as well as end up with items you already have. When this happens it is best to try to sell them. When you put an item in your shop, check the price with the shop wizard. The shop wizard will show you about what the item is selling for.
- Play games. There are all types of games on the site, and most of them are high quality. The games also are available in different difficulties, so if one is too hard or easy go to the next one.
- Read the FAQs and Beginner guide. It is an easy website, but it never hurts to find out about what is going on directly from the source.
- Visit the freebies sites. There is a soup kitchen for poor Neopians in the marketplace. Also try the Tombola, the Shrine, the Healing Springs, and the Omelet.
- Have fun! Remember this is only a game, and you should not become overly stressed with it. You don't NEED to spend money on it to have fun.
- Watch out for scams. Yes, even on a somewhat juvenile website there are still scams. The most common ones are for free Neopoints, or for spending real world money to buy more Neopoints off of a different website.
- Don't be afraid to look for help. If you're stuck on an idea or game, then check out the forums for help, or Google your problem. There are tons of websites dedicated to Neopets help, and game walkthroughs on YouTube, and the Neopets community in the forums are always very friendly and willing to lend a helping hand.

I've never read a thoughtful analysis of the positive aspects of playing with online pets. I'm impressed.
I've met people from every age group on Neo. I've been playing for years. This is a very straightforward look at the site. Good job. :)
