Keeper is universal |
Reviewer: Trevor
Like Lauren said I think it has a universal meaning.... I have been on and off with a girl for a few years now.... But I lost feelings for her but hoping they come back.. But after her being suicidal I don't think I can go back. Now I have feelings for another girl but I cannot tell her how I feel and she can't tell me how she feels because of the situation I'm in..... Favorite song by yellowcard.
This Is My Silent Dedication To Him |
Over a year ago I was happily dating somebody I did not know would mean so much to me once I lost him. I was not only ungrateful to him and his efforts to please me, but I disrespected him and behaved like a brat throughout the entire relationship. He on the other hand continued to love me and be there for me no matter how ill-mannered I was.
Then he left me, and even though he wanted to patch things up and start all over I refused to accept him again. I believed he was better off with someone who would appreciate him much more than I could.
I miss him so much, and this song is my purpose for holding on to those good times when I had no idea things would turn out this way. I pray that if our paths ever meet again in the future, I will be able to tell him how I really feel.
Regrets |
I love this song, I recently got broken up with after 3 years because of mistakes made and problems in the relationship and as the story goes all the realisations of how bad of a person you really were come to life at the tip of it being way too late.
Now I must stand back and watch somebody more deserving take my place, Heart breaking but as the song goes, We brought it on ourselves
Never knew.. |
I can relate to this song.
I think anyone can relate to this song.
There is always someone in your life that you wish you could spill everything, but there is something that is stoppin you to do so..
love this song. <3
I love yellowcard lyrics.

Yellowcard does it again....
the first time i ever saw yellowcard in concert i was going through my first real heartbreak...it was just before the album ocean avenue came out so no one had ever heard "only one" yet...when i heard it, and listened to the lyrics, it felt like the song that should have been written for me by the one who broke my heart, and there in the middle of a rock concert, mohawk and all, i cried...
not too long ago this amazing band came to town again...i didn't even know they were touring again, nor did i know they had a new album out, so i had never heard the song "keeper" and once again, i listened to the lyrics, and it felt like the song that may as well have been written for me by the one who broke my heart, and for the second time, in the middle of the crowd of scene kids at the cotillion, piercings, tattoos, and all.....i cried
amazing music...thanks for the lyrics:)
Perfect |
Reviewer: Alex
Describes how I feel about the girl that had to walk away from three and half years rather then tell me the truth about how she really felt.
Amazing |
I honestly believe that this song is the greatest song on Paper Walls. It has a universal meaning behind it and it's definitely something that will and has been stuck in your head.

Ubuntu Tute Part 3 - Nice Package!
For those who have been following our series thus far, you know that I am on a mission from the Penguin himself to take away as much grief as possible with as little headache as possible. Granted, the command line/shell may need to be bopped open once in a while, but for the most part it's been easy going. One thing I will not do, is send you off screaming with compiling software - that's for sure. Nothing says "I'm going back to Windows" like a day of chasing down dependencies brought on by compiling software yourself. Moving on!
First up, are you sure that you have enabled all of the non-free repositories for your Ubuntu install? Here 's a simple way to get the most out of what is available already. If you prefer, you can do the same with gedit, but for most people this is going to prove a little more user friendly. After all, there are screen shots!
Alrighty, so you have looked and looked. But darn it, where is that Yahoo! clone that I was talking about and even more importantly, you are really feeling the need for Filezilla, right?

May - The evolution of Garlands for May Day
1508 Hans Süss von Kulmbach (German, Kulmbach ca. 1480–1522 Nuremberg) Portrait of a Young Man Girl Making a Garland
Making a Garland. Petites Heures de la Reine Anne de Bretagne
1500 - Book of Hours by Jean Poyer, known as The Hours of Henry VIII - May - Picking Branches
Myles Birket Foster (1825-1899) May 1st or Garland Day
James Hayllar (1829–1920) May Day
Myles Birket Foster (1825-1899) May Day Garlands
1860 Thomas Falcon Marshall (1818-1878) May Day Garlands
1884 Herbert Gustave Schmalz (1856 –1935) renamed himself John Wilson Carmichael in 1918
19C A combintion of Morris & Maypole dancing and Hobby Horses, English Morris Dancing may be the modern survival of a primitive pre-Christian ceremonial of ritual dance & drama ensuring & celebrating the renewal of Spring. This rite once flourished all over Europe & even today dances similar to the Morris can be seen in parts of France, Spain, Rumania & Portugal. The earliest documentary references to Morris dancers are mainly from Church accounts in the early 1500's - "Silver paper for the Mores-dawncers - 7d". "for VI peyre of shones for ye Mors dauncers - 4d" (1509/1510). It was certainly thriving in Shakespeare's time; Will Kemp's 'Nine Daies Wonder' was a Morris marathon from London to Norwich in 1600. One popular theory points to evidence of similar dances in England, derived from the Druids' Maris dances, in celebration of the god Maris. By Elizabethan times, the Morris was already known as an "ancient custom," & had become established in many areas, mainly the Cotswolds, the Welsh Borders & the North West of England. It was also a favorite entertainment at Court. A Morris dance team often featured a "Fool" or an "Animal" (a dancer in disguise, often as a dragon or hobby horse).

Rewilding North America by Dave Foreman
Book DescriptionDave Foreman is one of North America's most creative and effective conservation leaders, an outspoken proponent of protecting and restoring the earth's wildness, and a visionary thinker. Over the past thirty years, he has helped set direction for some of our most influential conservation organizations, served as editor and publisher of key conservation journals, and shared with readers his unique style and outlook in widely acclaimed books, including The Big Outside and Confessions of an Eco-Warrior. In Rewilding North America, Foreman takes on arguably the biggest ecological threat of our time: the global extinction crisis. He not only explains the problem in clear and powerful terms, but also offers a bold, hopeful, scientifically credible, and practically achievable solution. Foreman begins by setting out the specific evidence that a mass extinction is happening and analyzes how humans are causing it. He describes recent discoveries in conservation biology that call for wildlands networks instead of isolated protected areas, and shows how wildlands networks are a logical next step for the conservation movement. The final section describes specific approaches for designing such n

Had a nice tour of the facilities, people are wonderfully friendly and you learn about the whole process. They also give you a fun history lesson. At the end it is all you can eat ice cream.
Valhalla!! Here is where it happens folks! Or at least it WAS until corporate hijinks planted very dirty stuff ther to discredit the #2 ice cream in the country. The south may not rise again, but BLUE BELL certainly will! Isn't is strange that for over a hundred years they had zero problems, but once the public tasted what they...
It was very reasonable besides being interesting. Our tour guide was very nice. You could pick your flavor of ice cream and buy an extra dip for .50. There were two books which you could look at about Tulsa and Broken Arrow while waiting which were interesting
I have taken the tour with my kids a few times (School Related). Blue Bell is truly the best icecream, next to home-made. My kids truly love watching the workers package and box the product as well as sample at the end. It is a major highlight for them.
The staff here is top notch and very polite to the...
This was a great stop for our family - my parents, my sis-in-law, and our kids (ranging from 2yrs-10yrs). The tour is less than an hour, very informative, and kid-friendly. There's not a lot of walking and strollers are welcome. Of course, we really enjoyed the ice cream at the end!!!
It has been a few years since I toured the Blu Bell facility but it was very interesting and informative. I think I got more out of the tour than my kids did! And - we got to eat ice cream afterward. Very worthwhile.
Probably best for kids 10 and under but we still had fun. Cheap family tour, yummy ice cream and interesting for adults as well.
We found it interesting and fun with our kids to see the ice cream being made. It is remarkably simple. Then the best part is testing it at the end!
You walk into the front building. This is where the tour begins and the country store is located. We asked the ladies in the store if we could get a tour. The website asks that you call ahead to make a reservation. We were on our way out of town and forgot to call ahead. They were super nice and...
Blue Bells tour and guest facilities was excellent, very good for children or grandchildren, generous on their "samples" of ice cream and they have a very good tour!

Because of John's dedication his foundation's mission is to provide hope through research for individuals and families touched by cancer.
Our aim is to provide a yearly grant to develop and fund research initiatives that will explore new, innovative treatments for advanced cancer.

Recent reviews
Good 3.5 /5 from 1217 reviews
I travel more or less constantly and pretty much never do reviews, but thought it necessary to warn others who may be considering the Siena. First issue is that it is currently undergoing major renovations and is apparently in process of changing to the "Renaissance" so bear in mind if Siena doesn't appear in the list. Taxi driver insisted the hotel was closed down, but I had prepaid so we went anyway. Door is boarded up, and only thing open is the front desk, which you access via a side entrance. There are no restaurants or bars open (listing says there are 2). We arrived late and had a child travelling with, so when the heating/cooling unit would only blow cold air (stay was in January), I called the desk which assured me this was only because the unit had just been turned on and that it would warm up momentarily. Half an hour later it was still blowing cold, so called the desk again to ask them to send someone up from maintenance to fix it. Was told there is no one capable who works the night shift, but that they could move us to another room. Because our 5 year old was sound asleep and I had already unpacked by that point, it was too late - but it was a very cold night. Got up next morning planning to take a hot shower to warm up, but only a trickle of water was coming from tap. Discovered a note that had been slipped under the door sometime during the night, saying that the water would be shut off at noon for upgrade work (9am at that time). So no heat, no water. Beware!
The hotel was under remodeling phase, the room was small missing leather seating cousins. Also there do not have a casino on site, had to walk two blocks to the nearest casino.
I normally like this hotel. They DID NOT disclose that during there renovation ALL RESTAURANTS, BARS, POOLS, EXERCISE FACILITIES, AND IN-ROOM DINING WAS CLOSED!!!! Not okay.
It was my honeymoon and I was unhappy about the non-advertising of the hotel renovations. When we arrived a the amenities that were suppose to be offered like restaurant,spa,gym and lack of fun atmosphere. I paid for quality which I expected to get in return. Very poor experience. No lights were on outside to indicate where the hotel was located and we were confused on the parking arrangements.
I received a phone call a couple days before my arrival to inform me of construction happening in the hotel and that the restaurant would be closed during our stay. As a solution, they offered a free shuttle to anywhere in town, which was very helpful to us. Upon arriving, they didn't have any rooms with double queen beds so they upgraded us to a top floor suite at no extra charge. The room was fantastic with a great view of downtown Reno and the Truckee River. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were very central to all the things we wanted to do; shopping at the Basement, Casinos, and restaurants.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

In this presentation, Professor Mike Shuler details his work to understand the response of the human body to various pharmaceutical and environmental chemicals using a combination of whole body modules and micro models Professor Shuler's research focuses on microfabricated devices combined with cell cultures. This combination provides a viable alternative to animal models to predict toxicity and response to pharmaceuticals. To date his models of the GI tract have been used to examine the response to oral exposure of drugs, chemicals, and nanoparticles. These coupled GI tract/body modules have been used to mimic human response to acetaminophen plus ethanol and have shown that nanoparticles can interfere with normal physiological responses such as iron uptake and nutrition. View this webinar to learn more about the exciting work being done in the field of predictive pharmacology.

Stan McCoy Assistant U.S. Trade Representative Intellectual Property and Innovation Office of the US Trade Representative 600 17th Street, NW Washington, DC 20508 Re: Request for public comment on the 2012 Special 301 Out of Cycle Review of Notorious Markets. Docket No. USTR-2012-0011
Dear Mr. McCoy: The Motion Picture Association of America submits the following response to the request for written submissions issued August 14, 2012, by the Office of the US Trade Representative, inviting submissions from the public on notorious markets outside of the United States. The American motion picture and television industry is a major U.S. employer that supported 2.1 million jobs and over $143 billion in total wages in 2010 in all 50 states. Over 282,000 jobs were in the core business of producing, marketing, manufacturing and distributing motion pictures and television shows. These include people employed in film and television productionrelated jobs on a free-lance basis, part time or full time at major studios, independent production companies, and core industry suppliers like film labs, special effects and digital studios, location services, and prop and wardrobe houses dedicated to the production industry, among others. Another 400,000 jobs were in related businesses that distribute motion pictures and television shows to consumers, including people employed at movie theaters, video retail and rental operations, television broadcasters, cable companies, and new dedicated online ventures. The industry also supports indirect jobs in the thousands of companies that do business with the industry, such as caterers, dry cleaners, florists, and hardware and lumber suppliers, and retailers. The American motion picture and television production industry remains one of the most highly competitive around the world. In 2010, the enduring value and appeal of U.S. entertainment around the world earned $13.5 billion in audiovisual services exports, over 6 percent more than
2006. Moreover, this industry is one of the few that consistently generates a positive balance of trade. In 2010, that services trade surplus was $11.9 billion, or seven percent of the total U.S. private-sector trade surplus in services. The industry distributes its films and TV shows to over 140 countries and with nearly half of MPAA member companies' distribution revenue annually earned from overseas, MPAA has a strong interest in the health and sustainability of these international markets. MPAA greatly appreciates USTR's interest in identifying notorious markets that threaten legitimate commerce, impair legitimate markets' viability and curb U.S. competitiveness, and hurt our overall economic strength. It is critical that our trading partners protect and enforce intellectual property rights. Below, the MPAA has identified both online and physical notorious markets. To the best of our ability, we have attempted to respond to the six indicators identified in the NOI. In most instances, however, criminal enterprises work to obfuscate identifying information. This list should not be understood to be comprehensive. It does, however, indicate the scope and scale of global content theft and it introduces some of the ongoing challenges rights holders confront in protecting their intellectual property. The list also introduces several forms of content theft which, despite their differences, all have a serious impact on the ability of the U.S. motion picture and television industry to compete successfully overseas, underscoring the need for a focused, strategic US policy. For all of the workers in our industry and their families, copyright theft means declining incomes, lost jobs and reduced health and retirement benefits. Copyright theft is not a victimless crime. The criminals who profit from the most notorious markets throughout the world threaten the very heart of our industry and in doing so they threaten the livelihoods of the people who give it life. These markets do not represent a problem that lies on the far horizon, they are here now and they are here in volume.
Online Notorious Markets
In the online space, the theft of creative content has evolved rapidly. In the late 1990s, infringing content primarily was traded via small private online networks. With the introduction of peer-topeer technologies, online content theft largely moved first to centralized peer-to-peer protocols, such as Napster, and then to de-centralized technologies such as BitTorrent. Today the online market has further fragmented and content thieves are taking advantage of new online technologies, with streaming sites and cyberlockers representing a growing share of unlawful conduct. Moreover, a secondary market has arisen in the form of "linking sites", which are professional-looking sites that facilitate content theft by indexing stolen movie and television content hosted on other sites. There has also been an increase in the export and transshipment of pirate optical discs by Chinese Internet businesses. The quality of the counterfeits' packaging is shockingly sophisticated and nearly indistinguishable from legitimate product. The products come in many forms, including large box sets of TV series or movie collections that do not even exist in the legitimate market, single DVDs and single Blu-ray discs.
The below discussed online markets were identified based on USTR's request for information on markets "where counterfeit and pirated products are prevalent to such a degree that the market exemplifies the problem of marketplaces that deal in infringing goods and help sustain global piracy and counterfeiting." This is not intended to be a comprehensive list but, rather, reflects an attempt to identify sites that are demonstrative of the nature and scope of the problem, consistent with the USTR's stated objective. In many cases, an Alexa rank has been included for many of the sites. Alexa rank represents the approximate number of web sites in the world that have a popularity higher than the given site-the more popular a site, the smaller the number. To put this in context, Wikipedia is ranked sixth in worldwide traffic and Netflix is 96. In addition, many of the sites include a compete.com ranking. Compete.com ranks websites by estimated visitor traffic. This traffic is approximated through information sources that include Internet Service Providers and by tracking the behavior of Internet users via opt-in panels and a browser toolbar that is available to the general public. Peer-to-Peer Networks & Torrent Portals: A peer-to-peer network provides a method for users to exchange files quickly and easily between the individual computers on the network – other users or "peers." While there are many different peer-to-peer technologies available, "BitTorrent" or "torrent" technology is the technology most commonly used to distribute illegal movie and television files because it breaks large files into smaller pieces, making them faster to distribute. BitTorrent or torrent sites allow users to locate and download files directly from the computers of other users in the BitTorrent network. BitTorrent websites facilitate the downloading of files among peers by maintaining information about the names and locations of files on the computers of each peer in the network and initiating the download process. The BitTorrent landscape was measurably impacted by both regulatory and law enforcement efforts over the last year. For example, Demonoid.me (Alexa 938) went offline after Mexican officials arrested the site's operator and coordinated seizures of the website's servers with Ukrainian officials. Btjunkie.org (Alexa 401), on the other hand, voluntarily shut down in the wake of the Megaupload seizure and blocking actions by the Governments of Malaysia and Italy. Both of these sites were included in USTR's 2011 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets. The sites identified in this year's filing were identified in part because they make available to downloaders unauthorized copies of high-quality, recently-released content and in some cases, coordinate the actual upload and download of that content. Extratorrent.com – Ukraine. Extratorrent.com is a highly popular BitTorrent indexing website ranked as the 395th most popular website in the world by Alexa.com. Compete.com currently estimates the website's traffic at 1,055,299 visitors per month. The site claims to offer more than 36 million files with sharing optimized through over 43 million seeder and more than 60 million leechers. Some of the website's features include sections highlighting "the most pirated movies," and "first cams," which are camcordings of motion pictures
currently available only through theatrical distribution. Users rate the quality of the content and the uploader, as well. Extratorrent.com is currently hosted by Server UA in the Ukraine. IsoHunt.com – Canada. Isohunt.com is the third most popular BitTorrent site on the Internet. The website claims to offer 64.65 million peers, 9.3 million active torrents, and is currently ranked as the 231st most visited website on the Internet by Alexa.com. Compete.com estimates the website receives 1,201,460 visitors each month. In 2009, a U.S. Court found the operator liable for copyright infringement and issued a permanent injunction against Isohunt.com. A motion of contempt of the court's injunction has also been filed. The website, however, continues to operate through private servers operated by Isohunt in Canada. Kat.ph – Canada. This website has steadily increased in popularity since 2009 and is currently ranked 160 by Alexa. Originally known as Kickasstorrents.com, the website transitioned to a new domain, Kat.ph, weeks after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seized several domains associated with motion picture piracy. Motion pictures represent the largest category of content on this filesharing website with 1,063,421 listed available, along with 650,819 titles listed under the Television category. Compete.com estimates 874,966 users visit Kat.ph each month through its servers hosted by Netelligent Hosting in Canada. Rutracker.org – Russia. This BitTorrent portal was launched in 2010 in response to the takedown of Torrent.ru by the Russian criminal authorities. Rutracker.org is a BitTorrent indexing website with an estimated four million users and one million active torrents. It is one of the most visited websites worldwide with an Alexa ranking of 285 and a rank of 16 within Russia. Rutracker.org is hosted through Avtomatizatsiya Business Consulting in the Russian Federation. Thepiratebay.se – Sweden. Thepiratebay.se (TPB) claims to be the largest BitTorrent tracker on the Internet with an Alexa rank of 81. Available in 35 languages, this website serves a wide audience with upwards of 31 million peers accessed by almost 6 million members. Compete.com currently estimates the site to receive 3,966,503 visitors per month. Swedish prosecutors filed criminal charges against TPB operators in January 2008 for facilitating breach of copyright law. The operators were found guilty in March 2009 and sentenced to one year in prison and a multi-million dollar fine. Two years later, the operators launched a direct download hub named Bayfiles.com through which users are presently uploading and distributing infringing files upwards of 5 GB in size. The TPB continued to combat efforts to protect the interests of copyright holders by changing their top level domain to .SE in an effort to thwart site blocking efforts instituted by the Governments of Belgium, Malaysia and Italy. Sweden's Supreme Court also affirmed the 2009 criminal convictions this year. Thepiratebay.se is currently hosted through servers operated by the Pirate Party in Sweden: Piratpartiet.se. Torrentz.eu – Canada. As one of the oldest and most popular BitTorrent websites on the Internet, Torrentz.eu has been in operation for nine years. This BitTorrent metasearch engine has an Alexa ranking of 121 and Compete.com estimates that Torrentz.eu receives 2,927,243 visitors each month. Torrentz.eu currently claims to offer 22.6 million active files via 34
major BitTorrent websites that include Thepiratebay.se and Kat.ph. The website temporarily shut down in 2004 in response to a takedown notice from a copyright holder and then came back online with a more aggressive configuration. The website transitioned to the .EU domain following the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seizure of multiple domains. The website is currently hosted through Netelligent Hosting in Canada. Xunlei.com – China. With an Alexa ranking of 35 within China, Xunlei.com features a proprietary, high speed P2P file sharing system that distributes unauthorized copies of motion picture and television content. The system incorporates the website's own desktop download manager with file formats unique to the system. Recently, Xunlei's public service, Kankan, transitioned in format and now streams some authorized motion picture content. However, it also offers a "VIP Offline" service which distributes infringing content for a monthly fee. With this service, infringing content is downloaded by Xunlei from the external source and is stored to its servers for unauthorized on demand viewing. Xunlei.com is currently hosted in China by China Unicom.
Infringing Download and Streaming Hubs: Infringing download and streaming hubs, which include what are sometimes referred to as "cyberlockers", are types of hosting sites that allow users to upload and distribute files. A user uploads a file and the hosting site provides the uploader with a link to that file. Clicking the link will either initiate a download of the uploaded file, a stream of the uploaded file or offer both options. It is very common for links to illegal copies of movies and television shows that have been uploaded to these sites to be widely disseminated across the Internet via linking websites, social media platforms, forums, blogs or email. Download hubs frequently provide several unique links to the same file. Once an infringing link is identified, the hub is told (via takedown notice) to remove the infringing file from its servers. It is not unusual, however, for the hub to remove only the single link located by the copyright owner. Other links to the same infringing file, and the file itself, remain intact and available to provide continued access to the infringing content. This year's seizures of Megaupload.com and Megavideo.com by the Department of Justice illustrate the extent and impact that hosting hubs have on the online landscape. Prior to the seizures, Megavideo.com (Alexa 177) and Megaupload.com (Alexa 72) were estimated to receive 3,447,7741 and 2,640,8452 unique visitors each month, respectively. Megaupload.com alone was estimated to have consumed 11.4% of the Internet bandwidth in Brazil. When these two websites were taken down, many linking websites, custom search engines, and custom streaming scripts that relied on the sites for content became inoperable. Some websites were abandoned by their operators, others lost traffic, while still others shifted their business model. For example, Wupload.com (Alexa 918), which was featured in MPAA's filing last year, disabled file sharing. Affiliate programs that paid uploaders for content were also discontinued or removed by many hubs. Further, infringing content was purged by operators in bulk, which was followed by uploaders who deleted their own files to prevent the hubs from profiting on the uploads without paying incentives. In sum, the impact of these seizures was massive and the hub landscape is still recovering.
While some hubs offer both legitimate and infringing content, the sites listed below were identified because of the vast amount of infringing premium content available to users, which serves as a huge driver of traffic to these sites. Extabit.com- Netherlands. Like Uploaded.net, Extabit.com expanded its services to accommodate a surge in traffic following the Megaupload.com seizures. Currently ranked 1,074 by Alexa.com, this download hub receives an estimated 228,661 visitors per month according to Compete.com. Download speeds are throttled and advertisements are present for users who do not purchase the $89.99 annual premium membership. Extabit.com is hosted at Leaseweb in the Netherlands. Netload.in- Germany. Netload.in, Alexa.com rank 1,411, is a download hub available in ten languages that receives an estimated 227,720 visitors per month according to Compete.com. Download speeds are throttled and files are automatically purged every 30-days for users who do not purchase the $64.99 annual premium membership. Netload.in is hosted at Link 11 GmbH in Germany. Putlocker.com – United Kingdom. Launched at the end of 2010, Putlocker.com has quickly risen to become one of the most visited streaming hubs worldwide with an Alexa rank of 329. Compete.com estimates that 3,962,420 visitors use the website each month which is nearly a quadruple increase in traffic since last year's report. This hub is somewhat unique in that it offers both streaming and downloading of significantly large video files – upwards of five GB in size. Files found on Putlocker use filesharing naming conventions that designate the quality of the infringing file and the release group responsible for making it available. Shortly after the Megaupload takedown, Putlocker ceased to pay uploaders for each viewing of their uploads. Users, however, continue to pay the operators $44.99 a year for premium accounts that enable them to download copies of the content or stream it without the distraction of advertisements. Alexa.com has identified over 7,320 websites linking to Putlocker, continuing to suggest that Putlocker is one of the most popular sources of content for linking sites. Putlocker.com is currently hosted by M247 in the United Kingdom. RapidGator.net – Russia. This site has very quickly grown in popularity since January 2012. According to the Alexa, RapidGator is currently the 397th most popular site in the world. This site offers monetary rewards for uploaders, encouraging uploaders to distribute popular content such as copyrighted movies and television programs as widely as possible. Premium subscription plans are available, allowing users to avoid throttled download speeds and datadownload limits. RapidGator.net is hosted by Nevillage Network in Russia. Simdisk.co.kr –South Korea. Simdisk.co.kr is one of over 200 high-volume storage lockers in South Korea known as Webhards. These websites are most prominently used to distribute unauthorized copies of motion picture and television content, which is often announced with images and tags depicting the quality of the video, such as DVDRip. Revenue is typically generated through download fees, which can be substantial. The Korean government passed a Webhard-Registration Law in November 2011, under which Simdisk.co.kr subsequently registered. While the website's popularity has fallen with a current Alexa rank of 3,142,
infringing content remains widely available. Simdisk.co.kr is currently hosted in South Korea by Korea Telecom. Uploaded.net- Netherlands. Uploaded.net, with a current Alexa ranking of 3,856, is a download hub that incentivizes users to upload large files, such as those associated with television episodes and motion pictures, by paying rewards based on the file size. Users who upload files less than 100 MB in size are rewarded approximately $12.58 per every 1,000 downloads, while those uploading larger files larger are paid approximately $37.75 for the same count. Download speeds are throttled for users who do not purchase the $69.99 annual premium membership. Following the Megaupload.com takedown, Uploaded.to blocked traffic from U.S. IP addresses and expanded their server capacity to accommodate a "massive growth" in traffic. While the website has since allegedly changed hands, the site continues to offer infringing content with file names clearly associated with illicit filesharing and illicit release groups. The site operator recently switched TLD's to ".NET" and began redirecting traffic from the ".TO" to the new domain name. The website operates through multiple redundant domains that include Uploaded.to (Alexa 408) and Ul.to (Alexa 22,685). Uploaded.net is hosted by Leaseweb in the Netherlands. VKontakte – Russia. VKontakte, or VK.com, is the leading social networking site in Russia and Russian speaking territories. VKontakte has become a hotbed of online piracy for movie, television and music files. This stems from the site specific user upload and search functionality – including torrent functionality – designed to facilitate easy hosting and access to popular media files coupled with the lack of any affirmative efforts by the sites' operators to prevent copyright infringement. In fact, some view an important basis of Vkontakte's appeal to be the widespread and easy availability of infringing content for download or streaming to its users. VK.com is frequently encountered on European-owned linking websites who may find the service less disrupted by copyright infringement claims. The site is available worldwide in multiple languages, including English, and is easily one of the most visited sites in the world with a worldwide Alexa ranking of 35 and an Alexa ranking of 2 in Russia. VK.com operates on corporate-owned servers in Russia.
Linking Websites: Linking websites aggregate, organize and index links to files stored on other sites. The linking site typically organizes the illegal copies of movies and televisions shows by title, genre, season and episode, and often uses the official cover art to represent the content. The site then provides one or more active links so the user can access the infringing content. Depending on the website, users are commonly presented with the option to either stream the content in a video-on-demand format or download a permanent copy to their computer. The linking website landscape was measurably impacted this year by law enforcement actions around the globe. German authorities arrested the operators of several high profile linking websites that included Kino.to and Video2k.tv (Alexa 3,164), which was featured in last year's MPAA filing. U.S. authorities also crippled many linking websites around the world, like the Brazilian 3000filmes.com, through the Megavideo.com seizure. 1channel.ch – Estonia. 1channel.ch, formerly known as, Letmewatchthis.ch, is one of the most visited websites in the world to locate links to illicit copies of first run motion picture
and television content. The website's current Alexa ranking is 463. The operator has implemented numerous tactics to "bullet proof" the website and keep it online including hosting through a rotating inventory of 30 or more domains and a variety of hosting locations. Traffic to this site continues to rise; Compete.com estimates the website receives over 3.24 million unique visitors each month. These users submit and rate the content links under categories representative of content theft, i.e. Medium/Telesync and High/DVDrip. The website is currently hosted on a private dedicated server through Wavecom in Estonia.
Free-tv-video-online.me – Czech Republic. Free-tv-video-online.me, formerly known as Projectfree.tv, is one of the most visited websites in the world to locate links to illicit copies of first run motion picture and television content. The website's current Alexa ranking is 1,000 and the site receives an estimated 1,371,946 unique visitors a month and rising. The original operator was successfully sued civilly and subsequently sold the site to the current non-compliant operator who added the .ME domain to potentially avoid domain name seizure. The current operator is also believed to of owned Quicksilverscreen.ch, which was one of the biggest linking sites in the world a year ago and has since shut down. The website is currently hosted in the Czech Republic by Coolhousing Hostmasters. Movie2k.to – Romania. Edging past 1channel.ch in traffic this year, Movie2k.to is estimated to receive over 3,757,459 unique viewers each month – a five-fold increase over last year's Compete.com estimate. Users submit links of first run motion picture and television content through this website with tags designating the picture and sound quality. The operator registered and advertised the availability of alternate domains for accessing the website shortly after a series of domain seizures by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2011. These alternate domains include Movie2k.com, Movie2k.me, and Movie2k.ws. Earlier this year, the operator posted a lengthy statement on the website in response to the shutdown of several infringing websites associated with Kino.to in Germany. In the statement, the operator proclaimed that copyright laws are outdated. Movie2k.to is currently hosted in Romania by Voxility. Seriesyonkis.com - Spain. With a worldwide Alexa rank of 2,578, Seriesyonkis.com remains one of the most visited websites in the world for locating and streaming unauthorized copies of motion picture and television content. This Spanish language site serves a global audience with consistently high Alexa rankings of 92 in Spain, 326 in Mexico. Users submit and find links to over 600 television titles, often with user generated subtitles and tags that identify the overall quality and source of the video. The operators also operate a separate, highly popular website named Peliculasyonkies.com, Alexa rank 6,098, which specializes in offering unauthorized copies of motion picture content. Both Peliculasyonkis.com and Seriesyonkis.com are hosted by Comvive Servidores located in Spain. Solarmovie.eu – Canada. Solarmovie.eu continues to rise in popularity as a source for links to first run motion picture and television streaming content. With an Alexa traffic rank of 2,000, Compete.com estimates that this site receives approximately1,528,026 visitors each month. Each title is offered with dozens of links to content from multiple sources that are graded by users for quality. The community forum serves as a platform for requesting
content and monitoring the service of the streaming hubs. Solarmovie.eu is hosted by Netelligent in Canada. Telona.org – Sweden. The Brazilian landscape largely relies on linking websites to locate and download content. For first run motion pictures, this content is generally camcorded in a theatre located in another country and then manipulated by a local release group to add Portuguese audio captured from a local theatre or subtitles. Telona.org is typical of piracy sites in Brazil as it offers content specific to the region, which is stored on download hubs that include Uploaded.net. Telona.org is ranked 22,236 worldwide by Alexa.com and 921 within Brazil. The website currently has 31,000 followers on Facebook. Telona.org is hosted by ServerConnect in Sweden.
Newsgroup: Newsgroups originated as text-based Internet discussions forums. Over time, newsgroup technology evolved from transmission of text only messages for purposes of general Internet based discussions to allow for the transmission of large media files. Newsgroup users post messages to a news server which then shares that message with other participating news servers around the world. This worldwide collection of servers is known as the Usenet, a highspeed direct download service offering access to a searchable global file exchange network. Today, illegal copies of movies and television shows are commonly posted in newsgroups for download by users around the world. Usenext.com – Germany. This Usenet service markets to mainstream P2P users much more heavily and directly than do traditional subscription Usenet services. High-quality Blu-ray rips of MPAA members' content can be easily found on Usenext. Usenext provides a free trial period to users and then subscription plans start at approximately $10.90 USD a month and go up based on the quantity of content users wish to download. Usenext is operated in Germany and hosted by Mainlab GMBH in Germany.
Online Markets: The distribution and sale of illicit hard goods through online markets, such as auction sites, business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-consumer (B2C) exchanges is a growing concern. These sites may offer legitimate consumer goods, but intermingled with listings of legitimate goods are sellers that specialize in illegal merchandise. Well-constructed offerings, such as well packaged but poor quality counterfeit copies of movie and television programming at retail prices can fool the savviest of consumers. Many online market platforms refuse to take appropriate steps to prevent infringers from operating anonymously on their platforms, including through the collection and verification of the identity of their sellerusers. So long as the platforms continue to allow criminals to operate anonymously, counterfeiting on these platforms will continue to be a major, world-wide problem. Paipai – China. The Chinese-language e-commerce platform Paipai has emerged as a major source for counterfeit DVD and Blu-ray product. Counterfeit versions of MPAA member company product are widespread and easy to locate and purchase. With an Alexa ranking in China of 50, it is critical that Paipai begin to show more receptiveness to outreach by right holders and take the steps necessary to operate a responsible e-commerce platform. Paipai is hosted in China by China Unicom.
MPAA is pleased to report that Taobao – listed in MPAA's notorious market filing last year – made significant progress in 2012 in addressing counterfeiting on its site. Taobao has proactively begun taking significant and meaningful steps to address this problem, engaging with MPAA on how to deal with the issue of sales of counterfeit goods. As a result of these discussions, Taobao now requires all sellers of optical discs to produce a "Publication Business License," has implemented tougher seller suspension and termination policies, enhanced cooperation with right holders, and improved response times to takedown notices. We are optimistic that Taobao will continue to take the steps necessary to make real and permanent reductions in the availability of counterfeit goods on their e-commerce platform. In furtherance of these positive steps, Taobao and MPAA have entered into a meaningful MOU to further enhance cooperation and seek to eradicate counterfeit DVD and Blu-ray product from being offered for sale.
Notorious Physical Markets
Perhaps more familiar to the public are the myriad physical markets located around the world that offer consumers burned or pressed infringing optical discs. Many of the markets discussed below are particularly challenging for rights holders because of the strong connections with organized criminal syndicates. In 2009, the RAND Corporation report, Film Piracy, Organized Crime and Terrorism, found "Counterfeiting is widely used to generate cash for diverse criminal organizations. In the case of DVD film piracy, criminal groups are moving to control the entire supply chain, from manufacture to distribution to street sales, consolidating power over this lucrative black market and building substantial wealth and influence in virtually every region of the globe." Examples of notorious physical markets include: 7 Kilometer Open Market (Odessa) and Barabashovo Open Market (Kharkov) - Ukraine. These Ukrainian markets are still the most prominent locations for an array of counterfeit products given their sheer size of more than 20,000 kiosks each. Although there has been a decline in the number of coutnerfeit discs available following an increase in police raisds, Russian-replicated counterfeit movies continue to be sold. These market locations, one near a major seaport and both near Russian railway terminals, attract a broad range of visitors and facilitates illicit imports from Russia. Greater Toronto Area (GTA) – Ontario, Canada. In 2011, over half a million counterfeit DVDs were seized in the GTA by local law enforcement officers and over one million counterfeit movies were seized in the first half of 2012 alone. Toronto flea markets housing multiple vendors are the most notorious Canadian venues to purchase pirate discs and the Region of Peel with over 30 vendors remains dominant. The markets 747 Flea Market, Brampton Town Market, 255 Queen Street East Market, Dixie 401/Flea Market, and Mississauga Flea Market also remain problematic. Hailong Electronics Shopping Mall, Beijing Haidan District – Beijing, China. Hailong is one of the largest markets in Beijing hosting shops offering bundled sales of hard drives
loaded with counterfeit movies in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. Hard drives can subsequently be wiped and reloaded with new movies at a very low cost. Harco Glodok – Jakarta, Indonesia. This market remains the largest and most active in Indonesia for counterfeit and pirated optical discs of all types, including music, games, and movies in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. Enforcement officials have consistently shown a lack of interest in enforcing against the widespread illegal activity taking place in this market. Jonesborough Market – Northern Ireland. Infamous within the UK and Ireland, this market sits in an isolated area on the border of Northern Ireland and Ireland and is monitored by illegal traders deploying counter-surveillance measures. Despite enforcement activity in 2012, it remains a problematic market and illegal traders often escape across the porous border during raids. Operators of this market have historically strong ties to paramilitary groups and sell an array of counterfeit products, including pirated optical discs. Mayak Open Market (Donetsk) and Petrovka Open Market (Kiev) – Ukraine. While there are signs of diminishing number of counterfeit products sold in these markets following police raids, counterfeit movies, many of which are burned on demand, continue to be sold in Mayak's and Petrovka's respective 40 and 20 kiosks. Mercado Popular de Uruguaiana – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The largest and most famous shopping market in Rio, this market is set on four street blocks and contains more than 1,500 kiosks, many of which sell counterfeit optical discs. Mutino Market – Moscow, Russia. Despite a series of successful enforcement actions from 2010 to 2012, the number of kiosks selling counterfeit product has increased to 20. In some kiosks, the physical display of counterfeit product has been replaced with titles burned to order, sometimes in nearby premises which provide further challenges to successful enforcement. Panthip Plaza, the Klom Thom, Saphan Lek, Baan Mor Shopping Area, Patpon and Silom Shopping Areas, Mah Boon Krong Center, and the Sukhumvit Road Area – Bangkok, Thailand. These locations are notorious for openly selling pirated and counterfeit goods; all have been designated as "red zones" by Thailand authorities. Unfortunately, the situation failed to improve between 2011 and 2012, with many vendors openly selling counterfeit movies as well as child pornography. Pulga Mitras, Pulga del Rio, Mercado del Norte and Zona Centro (Monterrey); San Juan de Dios, Parian and La Fayuca or La 60 (Guadalajara); La Cuchilla, Murat, la Fayuca, la Central Camionera and Zona Centro (Puebla); Las Vías and Salinas Hidalgo (San Luis Potosi); Premises located at 54 por 65 Street and 56A por 65 Street, (Merida); Central Camionera, Mercado Pescadería, Jalapa Centro and Veracruz Centro (Veracruz); Central Camionera, Lerma and Zona Centro (Toluca); Las Carpas 1 and 2, Siglo XXI, Fundadores and Mercado de Todos (Tijuana) – Mexico. This long list of notorious Mexican markets is merely a small subset of the nearly 90 well-known markets which specialize in pirate and
counterfeit products and operate across Mexico. These markets were highlighted because they are all controlled by organized criminal organizations. Richie Street and Burma Bazaar (Chennai); Bada Bazaar (Kolkata); Palika Bazaar (underground market in Delhi); Manish Market, Lamington Road, Fort, Andheri Train Station, Thane Train Station, Borivli Train Station, and Dadar Train Station (Mumbai) – India. These Indian markets with clusters of street vendors attract significant pedestrian traffic and are known for their high volume of pirated DVDs and other counterfeit products. San Li Tun District – Beijing, China. Most shops in the San Li Tun shopping district openly sell counterfeit movies and television programs, and is especially popular with foreign tourists. Tepito, Lomas Verdes, Salto del Agua, and Toreo Markets – Distrito Federal, Mexico. These are the main suppliers of pirated optical discs in the Distrito Federal. Labs and warehouses are also located in these markets. All are controlled by organized criminal gangs. Tri-border Region – Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil. The tri-border region between these three countries has a long standing reputation for piracy and counterfeiting. Most of the product found in this area is manufactured in Asia, notably China.
MPAA is pleased to report progress at some of the physical markets cited in last year's notorious market filing. The Pacific Mall, First Markham Place, and the Oriental Center markets in Canada are now clean of infringing optical discs following law enforcement and MPA-Canada efforts. In Brazil, the Feira do Paraguai in Brasilia and the Galeria Pagé in São Paulo have significantly reduced counterfeit movies sold following law enforcement support. The markets along the Czech/Austrian and German borders continue to significantly reduce the amount of visible counterfeit movie product.
The six major studios of the MPAA support the U.S. economy by generating billions of dollars from filmed entertainment distributed around the globe. Notwithstanding this singular achievement, the U.S. motion picture and television industry faces relentless challenges to the integrity of its product, challenges extracting an increasingly unbearable cost. The economic and cultural vitality of the creative industries is one of our nation's most valuable assets. MPAA supports USTR's efforts to identify foreign notorious markets. These markets are an immediate threat to legitimate commerce, impairing legitimate markets' viability and curbing U.S. competitiveness. We strongly support efforts by the U.S. government to work with trading partners to protect and enforce intellectual property rights and, in so doing, protect U.S. jobs.
MPAA appreciates the opportunity to comment and is ready to provide further information or answer questions as required.

But fear not - there is plenty to explore...Shop all Ronix Shop sale Ronix
Ronix Faith Hope Love Wakeboard - Women's 2011: For 2011, Emily overhauled her collection with her second female specific signature deck. The Ronix Faith Hope Love Wakeboard has a slightly lowered hybrid rocker line blending speed, and a consistent smooth pop off the liquid transition, with a bigger sweet spot. A new wider/mellower profile with more effective edge in the water means that instead of the angle generating the speed into the wake, the speed and left come from increased glide on the water and overall stability. Riding higher on the water means less work edging into a trick and more forward momentum on landings. The latest creating from the first lady of Ronix now comes with Ronix s Smooth Flex construction. New for this year, Ronix went to a softer lay up and the girl's team noticed more board control, softer landings and just a smoother overall ride.
Mod Pour: a performance alternative core made up from the minds of Ronix's best. A Ronix exclusive concoction of carbon and atoms that have a higher strength to weight ratio providing a stronger, snappy board with less swing weight
The Krypto Cable (blue dot in cross section), is made up of different fibers brewed and woven together to make an unbeatably strong compound. This feature wraps around the profile of the board and fuses with Ronix's unique Mod Pour Core and monocoque laminated glass (yellow line in the cross section) making the sidewalls the strongest part of the board - not the weakest. This provides a ride not only with strength, but with proven flexibility. Your board will keep its intended rocker shape all the way through the wake, transition to the landing. You'll feel the board under your feet like never before
Smooth flex, a woven construction that flexes the way a girl needs it to
Hybrid Rocker: blends speed and a consistent smooth pop off the liquid life with a bigger sweet spot
Thinnest board profile in the Ronix line, this feature reduces swing weight and makes landings feel softer than soft
Wider profile offers more effective edge in the water so you have increased glide speed with controlled stability
4.6" inch deep molded in outer fins for those looking for a looser/faster feel
2 fiberglass 1.0" fins
Full rail in the center of the board makes it more forgiving on turns
Blends to a harder rail design towards the tip/tail for increased glide speed and more stability while setting an edge
Designed, tested, approved by Ronix Team Rider Emily Copeland Durham

Comments about Ronix Faith Hope Love Wakeboard - Women's 2011:
I originally bought the Faith, Hope, Love bindings at the beginning of this season and was using them with a smaller men's board. I wanted to get a women's board toward the end of the season, and really liked the bindings so when evo had the board on sale I bought and anxiously awaited its arrival. When I got it and went to put the Faith Hope Love bindings on the Faith Hope Love board the inserts were set at a different width than the bindings!!! The board inserts were at 6.75 inches and the bindings were 7 inches... Luckily I have creative friends with a lot of tools. We called Ronix to see what they had to say on the matter and they were useless.

Comments about Ronix Faith Hope Love Wakeboard - Women's 2011:
An aggressive board for an advanced rider, but I am an intermediate rider and it has improved my riding in pop and stability. Absolutey wonderful board that I would recommend to any female riders at any level.

Chianti, Croquetas, and Cachao
The Leiter Gallery is a three-month-old baby in Miamis bustling art scene. But if the owners have their way, this two-story space will soon be the anchor of a revived Biscayne Boulevard, offering fabulous food and drink, incredible art, and a constant source of inspired entertainment for a hip and happening crowd. Adjacent to the fabulous Uva 69, Leiter is the pet project of co-owners Jesus Rojas, Ben Abounassif, and Sinuhé Vega, whose deliciously ripe oil paintings are displayed to succulent advantage on the gallerys second floor.
The downstairs section is entirely devoted to the current exhibit, Cachao and Friends. Carl Phillipe Justes stunning photographs capture a legend at work in the recording studio, illuminated in such a way that his upright bass glows like an instrument of the gods. Juste said the ideal place for his exhibition is the Leiter Gallery, because we have an eclectic, local crowd, perfect for his work, explains Rojas.

Steve Rubel reports on Edelman's new press release software which allows businesses to make new press releases incorporating many Web 2.0 media. Technorati, delicious, Digg, Trackback and comments as well as an [tag]RSS[/tag] feed are listed to encourage readers to spread the message around the world as well as receive feedback.
Maybe I am behind the times (quite likely!), but the biggest coup for me here is the integration of these networking methods to encourage distribution of not only the outbound message but also the ensuing conversation.
Another interesting angle is that it is now clear that Edelman's adoption of [tag]Digg[/tag], [tag]Technorati[/tag] and [tag]delicious[/tag] are now no longer "nice ideas" or passing fads, but fundamentally useful tools but in [tag]PR[/tag] and [tag]marketing[/tag].Read More

All orders from Silencer Shop ship free!
Register a Silencer in Your Own Name
How to Register a Suppressor in Your Own Name
The first thing people hear about when they're looking at buying an NFA item, such as a suppressor, is the ATF Form 4. The seems to cause a fair amount of stress as people worry over how they are going to fill out that dreaded form.
Well, the good news is that you don't need to fill it out at all!
If you purchase from a dealer who is Powered By Silencer Shop, we will fill out two copies of this form for you and then you'll need to follow these steps:
- Sign section 15 on both copies.
- Get 2 passport photos and attach one to section 16 of each copy. You can have these taken at your local drug store, or you can take them yourself and print them on a color printer.
- Finally, you need to take both copies of the Form 4 to your local chief law-enforcement officer (CLEO) and have him sign section 17 on both. Note that the CLEO should have jurisdiction where you live – and will typically be either your Sheriff or the Police Chief.
If you don't feel like tracking down a CLEO or getting fingerprints, be sure to check out how to register using a trust!
Aside from the Form 4, you will also be provided with 2 fingerprint cards that have been stamped by the ATF. You should NOT substitute these cards! It's generally easiest to just get the fingerprints done while you're at the police dept for the CLEO signature.
The last step is to sign a copy of form 5330.20 – basically saying you're a U.S. Citizen.
Once this is done, you can put everything in an envelope and mail it to the ATF with a check for $200. For our Texas customers, we provide a pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope that you can use as part of our registration packet – that envelope will come back to us so we can make sure it looks good to avoid issues down the line.
At this point, you get to practice waiting. 🙂 For most people, the hardest part of buying a suppressor is having the patience to wait for that tax stamp to come back from the ATF.
With our Powered By Silencer Shop program, all our customers can take advantage of this fast & easy process – no matter where you live!
As soon as your Form 4 transfer is approved, you'll be notified that you can come pick up your suppressor at your local dealer.
As you can see, there really isn't much to the process. Once you've been through it once, chances are you'll do it again – especially after you see what a blast it is to shoot suppressed!

Sending to multiple list and using list name in XHTML
I'm new to constant contact an could use some advice from the experts. Here is my use case:
I have 2 e-mail lists, A) members who have opted to receive our newletter electronically instead of physical delivery, and B) a complete membership list. There is overlap in lists (A) is a subset of (B).
I want to create an e-mail and send it to List (a) and List (b). Since I only want to send one e-mail to people who are in both A+B. I would add A+B as the target lists for the e-mail.
Likewise, I'd like to alter the text in the e-mail based on whether the recipient is in List A or List B. So I can thank those in List A for taking electronic delivery, and ask those in List B to consider taking electronic delivery.
Which brings up two questions:
1) Is there a property (like the subscriber.firstname, etc.) which contains the list name which I could use inside the <IfPropertyExists> tag to alter the content? Or should I use a custom field in each list and populate that with the list name? If I do the later, can I force the value of this property to a constant value when users signup to the list?
2) Assuming I can do (1), the next question is when I send to A+B, I am expecting constant contact to first use all e-mail address in (A) and then only the e-mail addresses in (B) which a not in A - such that the Subscriber properties (or the ListName property if available) would come from List A and not List B for e-mail address in both lists.
Re: Sending to multiple list and using list name in XHTML[ Edited ]
Hello Peter,
Welcome to Constant Contact I'd be happy to assist you with your list questions.
1. Contacts in Constant Contact can be in as many lists as you desire but they still only is one contact profile for each email address so the information. This means that each email address whether it is in List A or List B will have all the same data on it.
So with this in mind, use a custom field to insert the custom text; each Custom field can have up to 50 characters of information in them, but you can string multiple custom fields together to length the amount of characters you have. (For example in The XHTML you would have <Property name="Subscriber.CustomText1"/><Property name="Subscriber.CustomText2"/>).
Unfortunately you would not be able to force the value of this property when they sign up to your list, you would have to manually add this content to the custom field sections.
2. Constant Contact will not send to a duplicate email address on the same send

Day 14 - Exploring Venice
... crowded as at the basilica end. There were thousands of people crowded into the patches of dry pavement, and there was no way to see through them to the other end. So after all that, it turned out ok, as we walked around the basilica and the Doges Palace and along the Grand Canal. We stopped in at some little place tucked away in a little back street for pizza and melon and Parma ham, of course, with the requisite glass of wine! ...
On the road again...
... stave off the inevitable jet lag. The ensuing delirious conversation and fraternal cackling was probably enough to get the air marshal to consider busting out the taser, but somehow me made it through the flight without any serious reprimanding from anyone other than our parents. (Yes, I'm 21 years old and a college graduate. Why do you ask?)
On the second flight, I was tragically (or perhaps strategically) separated from my brothers on board the plane. As I took a seat by ...
Beautiful Venice!
... but a great atmosphere, despite being so touristy.
We had a great meal at a local trattoria recommended by the reception guy as being for the locals and then went down to San Marco Square around 9.30pm which was pretty wet after a big thunderstorm.
Not too many people around and another magic time as there were three older-style bands playing out the front of some of the restaurants. Great music and talented musicians.
Boats boats and more boats
... chocoholics buffet with chocolate sushi, giant ice carvings and chocolate cakes, lollies and other chocolate things but I think our expectations were too high as I didn't think it was as good as I thought it was going be, we were looking forward to it all day, we had to stay up till 10pm. Now back to today's story so we landed in Venice at 2.00pm after some amazing views from the 13th floor balcony of the boat as ...
Leaving Bologna, Arriving in Venice
... one big room with a video room off to the side. Inside you see what is left of the plane, the wreckage recovered has all been kind of put together as much as possible. Around the room you see mirrors and choirs of voices speaking. Hanging from the ceilings are lights which flicker on and off representing a beating heart, remembering those who perished. They also have 9 black boxes containing personal belongings. It's got a very sad ...
