The Civic has topped best compact car lists for decades. With its consistent balance of quality, performance and practicality, it should come as no surprise. 2016's redesign means the Civic is now better than ever with extensive standard equipment, a high-quality stylish interior and a new powertrain lineup. Starting at just under $20,000, the Civic's quality and performance comes very accessible.
Compare the 2016 Honda Civic Sedan against similar models
The Civic gets redesigned for 2016. A new 1.5L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine debuts, as does a 2.0L 4-cylinder that is more efficient and more powerful than last year's base engine. The new Civic aims to win new buyers with extensive attention to sound deadening, increased rear seat room and high-quality interior trim.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

The all-new 2016 Honda Civic represents a comeback, having been driven into the ditch of dullness previously, with cheap interiors, boring design, and sappy performance. The new Civic is larger, nicer, more sophisticated. The Touring model feels like a premium car disguised as an economy car.
This new, 10th-generation 2016 Civic is nearly three inches longer on a one-inch longer wheelbase, with a front track and overall width that's two inches wider. Pushing the limits of the compact class, the new Civic is nearly the same size as the midsize Chrysler 200.
Inside and out, sitting and underway, it feels like a cut above a compact sedan, more like a small midsize. It is arguably the new class leader.
The 2016 Civic presents a new chassis and body, new engines, and big safety technology. For 2016, Civic only comes as a sedan. However, a coupe is on the way, and a hatchback, two Si editions, and a Type-R are not far behind.
The new Civic sedan drives very nicely, with a smooth ride and a general feeling of refinement. It isn't sporty, but it handles well and the brakes are smooth, easy to modulate and effective. It all adds up to a smooth, calm driving experience.
The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine making 158 horsepower, about the same as a Mazda3, doesn't offer any thrills during acceleration. It comes with either a 6-speed manual transmission on LX models, or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that is not new, and doesn't have paddle shifters.
The manual is EPA-rated at 31 mpg Combined, while the CVT rates 35 mpg. You'll get the same mileage and have more fun with the quicker and more responsive 1.5-liter turbocharged engine making 174 horsepower. It has a better CVT, as well.
The Honda Civic LX comes standard with rearview camera, electronic parking brake, Bluetooth, five-inch touchscreen, and 160-watt audio. Leather seats, heated, are available along with a more powerful sound system with HD satellite radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability.
Civic EX-L is available with the turbocharged engine and CVT. The Civic Touring gets the HondaSensing safety suite, navigation, LED headlamps and 450-watt audo.
The striking fastback profile of the 2016 Civic announces a change in its image. It's one of the sleekest cars on the road now. The sheetmetal might be exciting to a fault. There are creases and slits and intakes. It hides its size and edges by being low and wide, with flared wheels and a wedged tail. The taillamps surely came off an Acura, they have that look. At the nose there's an unfortunate thick Acura-copied band of chrome between the headlamps.
The Civic cabin is tame and organized, a horizontal dash with a single screen, BMW-like in its flow. All but the Touring model use clean, crisp analog gauges. The Touring model gets a digital display on an LCD screen with a 270-degree tachometer.
The dash is low and the front seat raises, so forward visibility is excellent. There's a lot of room inside, enough for a six-footer in back with an inch of kneeroom to spare. There are many clever storage spots, and a big 15-cubic-foot trunk.
Weighing less than 3000 pounds, the Honda Civic with 1.5-liter turbo engine is quite sprightly. It's a small turbo with an electrically driven wastegate. It sounds sweet at full throttle, though there is some turbo lag.
It comes with a continuously variable transmission, which works smoothly and quietly but isn't quick or exciting. There's an Econ mode that kills power to gain fuel mileage. It responds a bit better in Sport mode.
Because the steering column is thicker (for crash worthiness), the Civic gets a new sophisticated steering system, a dual-pinion, variable-ratio setup like on the Buick Verano. There's a motor in the steering rack that provides gradual and consistent steering boost. The brakes are firm and fast to respond, with a short pedal stroke.
Ride and handling is where the Civic excels. It's precise, composed, and beautifully compliant, more mature than the old Civic. The suspension uses struts in the front with hydraulic bushings, and multi-links in the rear with a rigid subframe, with hydraulic bushings on EX-T models and above, as well as 17-inch wheels and tires. Same with the turbocharged Civics. The car doesn't dance over bumps, it micromanages them.
The Civic LX and EX ride on pedestrian 215/55HR16 tires that run out of grip and ability to cushion the ride on bad pavement, but still the ride's not bad. Handling is predictable even when grip is not, as we observed on wet roads covered with leaves.
Overall, the Civic performs better than it has for a decade.
The swoopy all-new Civic is a game changer, and compares positively in a lot of ways to its competition, especially the ride and room inside.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Bragging about hardware is useless since a lot is up to the software. The 1ghz A5 out performs some of these other phones with "faster" processors. Not to mention probably 50% or more of consumers don't even know what most of that stuff means. Why brag about stuff that doesn't matter...instead showcase a phone that does! Well done Apple
The 4s running Siri is sometimes slow to respond and isn't perfect due to overhead on the CPU and that is with the new A5 dual.
I hope they find a way for the people that didn't upgrade, but however based on the performance on the 4s, I highly doubt it will run smooth on the A4 to be truly usable. If it did work on the A4, the devs wouldn't have had erratic behavior as soon as it was ported over. Same iOS, same infrastructure, but not enough CPU.
I wasn't aware of the devs progress that you both mentioned and I think that's great. I'm sure they'll find a way to communicate with Apple, maybe through some sort of proxy hardware setup on the web or just code. Either way, I was just trying to describe the times Siri seems to lag and take a while to reply. It sure seems like resources drop at times accessing Siri. Left me with some doubt of the A4.
Processor side, the only resources used are for the apps being accessed by your requests to Siri, and the UI of Siri itself. The A4 has plenty of power to run it.
Everyone playing with their new toy at once.
Your idea of Siri and her operation seems very logical.
Possibly after a few months or the release of the next gen, apple will release Siri to other devices via ios. I'm sure Siri will make her debut on other devices in the future such as atv, Mac, or maybe microwave ovens?
The possibilities are endless. Tweaks coming from devs should be interesting to look out for. Voice mods, etc. I would like an option to just say "Siri" instead of holding home or kissing the phone and she asks "how can I help you" or a programmed response of humor Giving a personalized name wih gender choice / mood is also very cool.
If a lot of Siri functionality is server side (and already seen server overload) then that is a very good reason for Apple to keep to the 4S for now anyway. Being a selling point of the new iPhone may keep it to just the 4S, but who knows they may open it up to older devices later on.

4 Hot Stocks to Trade (or Not) - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- Put down the 10-K filings and the stock screeners. It's time to take a break from the traditional methods of generating investment ideas. Instead, let the crowd do it for you.
From hedge funds to individual investors, scores of market participants are turning to social media to figure out which stocks are worth watching. It's a concept that's known as "crowdsourcing," and it uses the masses to identify emerging trends in the market.
>>5 Big Trades for a Ping-Pong Market
Crowdsourcing has long been a popular tool for the advertising industry, but it also makes a lot of sense as an investment tool. After all, the market is completely driven by the supply and demand, so it can be valuable to see what names are trending among the crowd.
While some fund managers are already trying to leverage social media resources like Twitter to find algorithmic trading opportunities, for most investors, crowdsourcing works best as a starting point for investors who want a starting point in their analysis. Today, we'll leverage the power of the crowd to take a look at some of the most active stocks on the market today.
>>10 Tips for Trading Penny Stocks
These "most active" names are the most heavily-traded names on the market -- and often, uber-active names have some sort of a technical or fundamental catalyst driving investors' attention on shares. That's especially true now that earnings season is officially underway. And when there's a big catalyst, there's often a trading opportunity.
Without further ado, here's a look at today's stocks.
>>Buy These 5 Cash-Rich Stocks to Triple Your Gains
Nearest Resistance: $13.75
Nearest Support: $13.60
Catalyst: Acquisition
>>4 M&A Deal Stocks to Watch in June
Small-cap TV station operator Belo (BLC) is up more than 27% this morning after news that it was being acquired by media firm Gannett (GCI) for $13.75 per share. The deal gives Gannett a portfolio of 20 television stations in 15 U.S. markets. BLC is seeing heaving trading volume this afternoon after the news hit, as shareholders take risk off the table by exiting their positions.
The 0.7% risk premium currently in shares as of this writing doesn't look particularly attractive right now. Gannett's $13.75 offer price is effectively a "hard" resistance level right now. If you missed out on this acquisition, it makes zero sense to chase it.
Nearest Resistance: N/A
Nearest Support: $22
Catalyst: Buying BLC
>>5 Stocks With Big Insider Buying
The same can't be said about Belo's acquiring firm, Gannett (GCI). GCI is rallying hard itself this morning, up more than 26% on high volume this afternoon thanks to the acquisition news. That's sent shares of Gannett to a new multi-year high.
Making new highs is significant from an investor psychology standpoint because it means that everyone who has bought shares in the last year is sitting on gains. As a result, the "back to even" mentality is less of a concern than it would be for a name with a higher proportion of shareholders sitting on losses. Risk-tolerant traders can enter a position here with a tight stop in place.
Nearest Resistance: $14.50
Nearest Support: $13.60
Catalyst: Technical Setup
>>4 Stocks Spiking on Big Volume
Metal miner Vale (VALE) is getting hefty trading volume this afternoon, thanks to a 4% spike in shares that's grabbing traders' eyes. While the bounce is certainly noticeable in today's relatively low-volatility session, it's a little early to call Vale a buyable name. That's because, from a technical standpoint, this stock looks like a train wreck.
The real reason for Vale's upside today is just how hard shares have been hit in the last couple of weeks. Longer-term, things don't look much better: Vale's share price is off more than 31% year-to-date. This stock is bouncing, but I'm far from convinced that shares have found any true semblance of support. Opportunistic traders should wait for VALE to break its downtrend resistance line before thinking about building a position in the Brazilian miner.
Armour Residential REIT
Nearest Resistance: $5
Nearest Support: $4.60
Catalyst: Dividend Reiteration
>>5 Hated Earnings Stocks That Deserve Your Love
It's been a rough month for Armour Residential REIT (ARR). Since the start of May, shares of the mortgage-focused real estate investment trust have dropped by more than 25%. Today, they're getting a reprieve just like the bounce in Vale. One big difference is the fact that ARR's bounce is event-driven: the firm reiterated its monthly dividend at 7 cents per share, a payout that adds up to a whopping 17.4% yield at current price levels. Anxiety over the possibility of a rate cut has been the biggest reason for ARR's drop in the last few months.
Another big difference for ARR is the fact that shares are actually testing trendline resistance thanks to today's 5.4% rebound. If this stock can manage to take out $5, I think we've got a good indication that a price reversal is taking place. Until then, mind the downtrend.

Auguste Donnay Biography
Regarding Pl. 59
Poster for the International Choral Song Contest organized by the city of Liege.
Unlike France, where almost all artistic activity was concentrated in the capital, Belgium had a secondary creative centre of exceptional quality, the city of Liege. With his friends Emile Berchmans and Armand Rassenfosse, Donnay formed a trio of artists recognized as the three most important of Liege. Of the three, Donnay was the more grave and meditative. The atmosphere his posters release has nothing to do with the life poured forth by Berchmans and Rassenfosse. His woman neither laugh nor drink, they are thoughtful. His body of work, full of contained emotion, is of great pictorial purity (Weill p.61, 62)

Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton
Top Business Hotel
187 Monroe North.w, Grand Rapids, MI
0.6 km from
Rp 2,720,000+
Excellent location downtown on Grand River front, very comfortable, top-notch facilities. Good for both luxury leisure travel and business (hotel contains many quality-appearing meeting rooms, plus is integrated with downtown skyway system to convention center, arena, and office buildings). Part of the hotel is a very interesting and elegant historical restoration. Hotel could be OK for families, but seems more oriented toward adults. Overall, an excellent hotel and worth the money. For some reason, we were told at check-in we wouldn't receive full housekeeping during our weekend stay; instead we got vouchers for hotel food and services. We have no problem using sheets and towels for several days (just like home!), but I thought it strange that a luxury hotel would not have full housekeeping on weekends (I don't know if that was true for all guests, or if there was a special issue that caused it this one time). I marked "value" and "cleanliness" slightly down for this reason. Also, sound deadening in the historic part of the hotel (where we stayed) could be better. There was a fair amount of noise from the hallway and plumbing noise from adjacent rooms.
lots of amenities with pool and racquetball park hotel oversold and did not have room booked
We had requested adjoined rooms for our group of 8 women. We were told twice that this would happen and it did not. The people in the room next to us complained about us talking late at night and the hotel manager threatened to kick us out. We did not even have a tv or radio on but women sitting around talking. They were extemely rude and we could not believe after all the wedding and party groups they have there on a saturday night they considered us a problem. I will not stay there again, the staff were extremely rude.
The lobby and common areas are beautiful and impressive. Our room was dated, smelled like a mix between cigarette smoke and mold.
All staff was very friendly! Loved walking through the skywalk to the BOB! Beautiful hotel!
We had problems with billing for additional activities
The location & the staff Every room is definately NOT worth $200/night. When you're in the tower, on the 20th floor & have a beautiful view of the city / river / area it's one thing, but on the Pantlind (old) side - the fourth floor affords you a view of the parking garage across the street, a tiny room with, what feels like, a water closet for a bathroom and barely room to turn around.
Beds very comfy. Decorated beautifully No sink in bathroom. I usually dont want to walk into another room to wash hands
The room with a river view. The staff was excellent. They truly helped us in many ways. The quality of service was twice as good for half the price of many larger cities. Wonderful value. It has a great bar upstairs but it was nearly empty on a Friday night.
A fantastic hotel will outstanding service. This hotel has rivaled some of the best I have stayed at all over the country.
Very clean. Full restaurant/bar. Small convenient store. Pleasantly surprised at how nice it was!
Most aspects of the stay were fantastic... clean room, nice bathrooms, good restaurant staff, etc. The internet connection would drop out unexpectedly, and continuously prompted me to enter a login password every 20 minutes or so. This occurred on all devices, whether my laptop, tablet, or phone. It made it nearly impossible to get any work done while at the hotel. I would give this stay 5 stars, but this is a fairly significant issue for business travelers. Hopefully they can resolve this problem, but it made my stay far less positive.
Very friendly and clean rooms. Nice quick walk to the city.
The staff is very friendly and the location is right in downtown.
Reception staff friendly and helpful. The toilet did not work and had to be "plunged " at 11.45 pm when we were going to bed. Also the restaurant service was slow and parts of meals, eg essential sauces had to be requested several times.
Loved the clean and modern look, but better yet, the friendly staff and location. Lots of restaurants and activities within walking distance. I parked my car (for free!) and was able to walk everywhere! I wish the breakfast was included and buffet style.
Upgrade was appreciated. Staff was friendly and helpful. Relaxing stay. Would have liked restaurant to open earlier. Left at 7 AM just as it opened
The bartender was really nice and our room had a fridge and microwave. The staff was friendly. Had to pay to upgrade for the room I originally booked. They had a scheduled power outage both days
You can hear the highway nearby.
The staff at the hotel really made me feel at home. The hotel is in a great location downtown - you can walk to bars and restaurants and you have the highway next to you = perfect connections. The breakfast at the grill was excellent. I definitely would book this hotel again .
Art exhibits kn lobby and staff Bathrooms a little musty
nearrby the center, the river , easy access off the main Hwy's. friendly staff . N/A
The staff was extremely informative and friendly. The location was pretty good, within walking distance to many things downtown. I felt like it was pretty expensive for what it was and I also had called ahead of time and was put on hold and hung up after waiting for around 20 minutes and called back and was immediately helped.
Location, cleanliness
The hotel was very clean and our room was great! Staff at the front desk were extremely rude during check in, even stopping me in the middle of talking to help another guest who came back up to the counter. The bell tower staff were also not very friendly. Elevators were slow due to "construction" (that was no where to be seen).
Location and staff Valet was over priced Facilities somewhat dated
Staff was friendly, but unsophisticated. I was switched out of a room because it smelled musty/moldy. Food was good, but expensive, and I'm not accustomed to having to purchase coffe and breakfast when I travel. Amenities bottles seemed to be only partially full. Rooms were unremarkable, but clean. Staff was vacuuming my floor when I checked in around 5 pm. Internet slow, and again I'm not used to having to purchase a premium package for Internet. I'll stay in a cheaper hotel with better amenities and less focus on decor next time
good location, free parking, most things are as expected Rather mediocre hotel for a rather high price. Rooms are clean only until you look carefully. Free wifi included, but they cut off skype calls after 2 minutes, so that you would have to pay for premium internet. Overall, typical greedy hotel chain, but could be good choice if you find nothing better in the area.
The location was great. Everything was in walking distance of where we wanted to go. Great night Life too! The check-in was at 4 which Itcould have been at 3 and the check out was at 11 instead of noon. That's the only thing I would change.

I have a ton (about 150) of used DX discs I am going to get rid of. Before I do I want to see if anyone here actually wants them. Lots of eagles, orcs, cheetahs, leopards, sharks, aviars etc, as well as a bunch of cheap assorted discraft discs. They are all in pretty good shape and are very usable.
If anyone wants these discs cheap, pm me and let me know what models you are interested in. I'm thinking no more than $2 a disc.

Raye released his debut album, All I Can Be, in 1991, and it really took off with the release of the second single, "Love, Me." A tearjerker about the death of a loved one, "Love, Me" zoomed to the top of the country charts in early 1992, becoming a popular funeral song among fans. The follow-up single, "Every Second," went to number two, and All I Can Be went platinum -- as did its follow-up, 1992's In This Life, whose title track became Raye's second number one hit and a popular wedding ballad. In This Life also spun off three additional Top Ten hits in "I Want You Bad (And That Ain't Good)," "That Was a River," and "Somebody Else's Moon." Raye notched his third straight million-selling album with 1994's harder-rocking Extremes, whose number two hit "Little Rock" was Raye's first big message song, taking on the subject of alcohol abuse. He also hit the Top Ten with "That's My Story," "Man of My Word," and "If I Were You" and landed another number one with "My Kind of Girl." 1995's I Think About You returned to his trademark ballad-heavy style and became his fourth platinum album in a row, helped by the Top Five hits "One Boy, One Girl," the anti-domestic-violence title track, the anti-racism "Not That Different," and "On the Verge."
Having cranked out hits for the last four years, Raye relaxed a little bit, issuing only the holiday album Christmas: The Gift in 1996 and the compilation The Best of Collin Raye: Direct Hits the following year; the latter's newly recorded "What the Heart Wants" and "Little Red Rodeo" both went Top Five. Finally, Raye issued another full album of new material, The Walls Came Down, in 1998. "Someone You Used to Know" and "Anyone Else" both made the Top Five, and "I Can Still Feel You" became Raye's fourth number one hit; the album also contained an anti-child-abuse statement in "The Eleventh Commandment." Perhaps Raye's recent divorce had turned his attention to children even more than usual, for he followed that with an album of lullabies for kids, Counting Sheep, in 2000. Later that year, he issued the proper album Tracks, which featured the Top Five hit "Couldn't Last a Moment" but didn't produce the usual number of massive singles. The follow-up, 2001's Can't Back Down, confirmed that Raye was hitting a sales slump, as it became his first album to miss the country Top Ten. The newly independent Raye took nearly five years to release his studio follow-up--Live at Billy Bob's Texas arrived in 2004. The resulting Twenty Years and Change marked a return--for better or for worse-- to the ballad-heavy style that won him acclaim in the late-nineties. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi

text: A new book claims that after the 9/11 attacks, both Michael Jackson and Mark Wahlberg were in New York and wanted to get out of the city. Both celebrities wanted to use the Sony jet and it was up to Sony to decide which man got to use it. Michael won as he was considered the biggest star. The thing is, Michael did not even end up using the jet and took a bus back to LA so it was just his entourage that used the jet. Mark says this is all lies and that he had a jet of his own. I don't think so. I think he wanted that jet. I'm not actually sure that Michael was the bigger star at that point but certainly had way more money for Sony than Mark had.

Kottayam Overview
You can reach Kottayam from Ajmer by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.
Kottayam city is the district headquarters and an urban centre in Kerala, south India, located near to Kochi. However, by no means, can it be termed 'cosmopolitan', nor does it possess the bustle of a large city. As a local put it, 'the world seems to have bypassed Kottayam'. Chiefly known for its lakes, letters and latex, an undoubtedly unusual combination, Kottayam, in fact, is a land of many accomplishments. Ever since Benjamin Bailey set up Kerala's first printing press in Kottayam, the district has been at the forefront of the publishing industry. Today, 80 per cent of the books published in the State come from here. If you are looking for car rental Kottayam let us know and we will be happy to provide you with best budgeted deals for .

Sledge has been back in the gym training hard with us ahead of a charity match of the MC's on June 4th and the gym is sponsoring his training.
Help the guys raise £5000 for the Katie Piper Foundation, bringing pioneering burns treatment only currently avalible abroad to the UK.
Beautiful FX3 ring girl, TV presenter and model Katie Piper was brutally attacked with sulphuric acid at the request of her ex boyfriend leaving her with life threating horrific burns to her face, throat and torso. Katie has shown the most tremendous courage and strength not only throughout her own ongoing treatment but by establishing her own charity aiming to help other like her. We were both inspired by Katie having watching her documentary last year and more recently, Cat has been reading her moving book.
Please-if you can donate something, no matter how small to the Just Giving Page-all the money will be going staight to the Charity. If you cant we totally understand but we do ask that you all give your support and encouragement to Sledge during his training at the gym as he is giving this fight camp 300% commitment.

Vince Neil denies reports he's joined 'Celebrity Apprentice'
Listen to Vince Neil on iHeartRadio
Vince Neil isn't part of the cast for the next installment of "The Celebrity Apprentice."
The rocker is denying the report, which appeared in Norm Clarke's column in "The Las Vegas Review-Journal."
In his denial Neil calls Clarke a "loser wannabe reporter" that he hasn't "seen or talked to in over two years." However, Vince does admit he's "talked to the show," but says "that's it." He adds that he'd like to sign on, saying if he got an offer he'd accept because it "sounds fun."
If Neil joined the cast of Donald Trump's NBC reality show, he certainly wouldn't be the first rocker to compete on the show. Previous seasons have included Meat Loaf and Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, while Poison's Bret Michaels was the show's Season Three winner.

I was alarmed when I realized that Hiatt graduated in my class at that place up in Cambridge. Just goes to show that you can have a fancy degree and be a moron. (I suppose there are those who would use me as another example.)

Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp
The Resurrection of Christ
Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp
Dutch, 1612-1652
The Resurrection of Christ, ca. 1640
Oil on panel
92.1 x 70.2 cm (36 1/4 x 27 5/8 inches)
Georgianna Sayles Aldrich and Mary B. Jackson Funds 62.019
Benjamin Gerritsz. Cuyp, a member of a family of Dordrecht painters, specialized in genre scenes and religious subjects. This scene portrays an episode from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew (28: 2-4) in which an angel arrives at Christ's tomb and removes the stone from the sepulcher. Appearing in a burst of light, he pierces the darkness and blinds the Roman guards who scatter on all sides; groping and trampling each other in their attempt to escape, two have drawn their swords. Cuyp's sketchy impasto enhances the frenetic atmosphere. Christ is present only symbolically, through the artist's emotional, poetic depiction of divine light. Like many painters in the Dutch Republic, Cuyp focused on the lowly aspects of the narrative, implying that ordinary humans have a role in the history of salvation. This focus, the dramatic lighting, and the heavy impasto all owe much to the artist Rembrandt van Rijn, whose composition on the same theme was a likely inspiration.

Last week, post the World Cup celebrations, Aastha and I had our third garage sale. We were in a different venue and Kino 108 was a great host! We were also really excited to have those of you we met over emails and facebook. A huge thanks to all of you who have been writing in. We will plan something soon! I think what was most special was that we now have regulars. Some of you have attended and shopped at all three of our sales! Kisses.

Does natural contraception really works?
I'm trying this one now is this really work?
18th February 2014 06:46 AM #2
Dear gelizaire,
Kate, who is one of our moderators, has written a detailed and informative post on Natural Birth Control which I think you will find really helpful. It can be highly effective if you are well-informed on natural family planning and carefully follow your body's signs.
Please do post back any further questions you have on this subject here.
Warm wishes,

Rock Hill, S.C. - The 2012 SAC women's tennis awards were announced on Tuesday afternoon, and Brevard's Claire Dillman earned All-SAC First Team honors in singles, while Dillman and Prata were named to the All-SAC Second Team in doubles.

"They do what I bought them for."
- 3.5/5,
Pros - Comfort, price, allows you to hear traffic and surroundings
Cons - sound quality, cable
Well I will start off by saying this marks my first activity of any kind on Head-Fi, and in truth I have only been lurking behind the scenes reading for about a month before making this post so I can't say I have learned enough to have any credit here. I'm reviewing this only because I have them and no one else has said anything about them.
In the spring of 2011 I took up running. If you have ever tried you understand why some tunes are helpful, if not move on then these are of no use to you. At any rate I was having a hard time finding headphones that either didn't hurt, or would stay in. I tried Sony MDR-AS40EX, and they would not stay in, they constantly bounced out and once any amount of sweat got on them I could no longer seal them in my ears properly which was something I can't say I cared for anyway. Sure you have better sound but you can't hear your environment which I feel is a safety concern when biking or running in traffic. Sony DR-AS22IP did a better job of staying on after being covered in sweat and You could hear your surroundings with them on. They still however would bounce off and I was constantly playing with my ears while running. Sony MDR-E828LP/SLV Worded OK but for them to stay in my ears I had to wrench the in and that became painful in a hurry. Enter the Yurbud. They took care of everything. They stayed in no matter how much bouncing, sweating, or raining tried to shake them loose they stay in. Next they are comfortable, you barely notice they are in, I wore them in my first race which was a half marathon that took me just over two hours to finish and they never hurt. Lastly you can hear clearly with them in, depending on how loud I run them I can hear cyclist on running trails and cars on the road (sans the murderous Prius). So great I found a set of headphones that address ever issue I have had with nothing left out.
Now for the bad or at least not so good. Sound is not so great, its not terrible but its not great. They sound on par with the included headphones which came with my sansa clip and not being any kind of educated audiophile I really can't elaborate. Secondly is the cable, it knots terribly. The included zippered bag for storage really doesn't help in any was, if anything it helped to make a knot of them.
Now the bads are not terrible. They are certainly eclipsed by the good. It may only be my opinion but when running sound quality is not of the most importance. Your as likely to hear your heart beat as anything so true clarity is not going to be easy to get. As far as the cord tangling its not too hard to undo and once you have it routed however you like to keep it out of your way while being active it's no longer an issue.
Really these are great for what they are, but if you don't need them to work out in I see no reason to get them. I hope this helps you guys out in anyway. Have a nice day

We always need to attach more stuff to our equipment to free up our hands when we need them. Lanyards for lights, cameras, gauges, game bags, or maybe even a fish stringer when spear fishing. Having a few spare brass boat snap clips in your gear bag is a must for the serious diver.
This Swivel Brass Boat Snap Clip can be utilized in many applications. Keeping items clipped to your equipment make you more streamline in the water and prevent items such as gauges from damaging the environment. Brass material is corrosion resistant for durability and long life. Snap clip is great save-a-dive-kit item. Buy several so you're never caught short handed on a dive. Clip has a spring loaded gate closure and a 360° swivel.

REDLANDS - After 32 years with the Police Department, Lt. Rogelio Garcia has taken off his badge and retired.
Garcia, 60, joined the department in 1981 as a reserve officer and later as a full-time officer working in various capacities from narcotics to patrol.
"I always had the need to help and serve people," he said.
Garcia was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, but came to Redlands with his mother in 1968 when he was in his mid-teens.
In 1972, he graduated from Redlands High School and had his sights set on law school when he enrolled at the University of Redlands the same year. He graduated in 1976, but he said limited resources prevented him from pursuing a career in law.
Instead of giving up completely, Garcia helped others inside the courtroom by working as a translator.
A discussion with then-police Sgt. Fernando Arias influenced him to check out law enforcement as a career, he said. So at age 28, he joined the department as a reserve officer and was hired at age 30 full time.
"Arias was the one who planted the seed," Garcia said.
Garcia moved up in the ranks and held a number of positions.
He said his favorite assignments were in the investigations and narcotics division under the direction of Chief Robert Brickley.
"I was very lucky that (he) allowed me to work with the DA, FBI and the Inland Regional Narcotics Enforcement Team, which is still active," Garcia said.
Garcia said one of his most challenging assignments was working homicide.
Garcia, then a sergeant, oversaw the investigation of several high-profile murder and shooting cases, including the 2003 Kelly Bullwinkle and 1994 Marilyn Mishak cases.
"His commitment to the community was exceptional as a detective sergeant of investigations where he worked countless hours," said Lt. Travis Martinez, a longtime friend. "Nobody worked as many hours as him.
"There were many times he worked a wide variety of investigations working 100 hours straight without taking any breaks. The sacrifices he made for his family to ensure the community was better, safer, were just tremendous."
Martinez said he remembered one Thanksgiving where the department received a lead in a homicide investigation.
Leaving his family celebration behind, Garcia took the lead and traveled to Los Angeles with other members of his team to capture the suspect.
"He did not hesitate that Thanksgiving morning that he would be foregoing (the) festivities one bit to join the detectives in Los Angeles," Martinez said. "He's the type of guy that was right there with his troops. And lo and behold, we ended up solving that murder because of the work he did."
Garcia later joined patrol team.
He said his decision to retire was a hard one but it was time.
"It takes a toll on the body (and the) family," he said. "I guess the dream of most police officers is around 30 years and that's it. Some of them quit when they've done 20, 25 years. But not me. I wanted to do my 30 years in law enforcement."
Garcia was honored by the Redlands City Council and Garcia at the council's Dec. 17 meeting.
On Dec. 20, an end-of-watch announcement was broadcast to Redlands police employees.
Garcia is now making the progression from law enforcement to home life, but he doesn't feel it yet.
"I feel like I'm still on vacation," he said.
Garcia said he has no set plans on what he wants to do in retirement, but he knows he will continue work with the community.
Before joining the department, Garcia worked with the YMCA both part time and full time.
He is also a member of the Northside Impact Committee and volunteers with Build a Generation, a Redlands group that supports youth.
He will also spend more time with his wife of more than 30 years, Sylvia, and their three children - Roy, 25, Crystal, 17, and Christopher, 13.
"There will always be an opportunity out there to be a service to the community," Garcia said.

Effective: 10/01/2009
Texas State travelers may receive monthly meal allowances for non-overnight trips when the traveler conducts University business outside of his or her designated headquarters. The allowance is intended to supplement, but not to fully compensate, the meal costs incurred while traveling on official University business. The Internal Revenue Service considers non-overnight meals a non-essential travel cost, therefore any reimbursement is taxed as ordinary income. The allowance must be processed through the payroll system for tax withholding.
Texas State has elected not to process meal allowances from state appropriated funds due to the onerous Internal Revenue Services reporting requirements.

The Oracle Auditing Tools is a toolkit that could be used to audit security within Oracle database servers.
The OAT use CREATE LIBRARY to be able to access the WinExec function in the kernel32.dll in Windows or the system call in libc on Un*x. Having access to this function makes it possible to execute anything on the server with the same security context as the user who started the Oracle Service. So basicaly all accounts with default passwords, or easy guessable password, having this privelege can do this.
The OAT have a builtin TFTP server for making file transfers easy. The tftp server is based on the server source from www.gordian.com. The Tools are Java based and were tested on both Windows and Linux. They should hopefully also run on any other Java platform.
The toolkit consists of the following tools:
OraclePWGuess - A dictionary attack tool that can be used with
usersupplied dictionaries or with the builtin support for finding default accounts.
OracleQuery- A minimalistic command line based sql query tool.
OracleSamDump Connects to the Oracle server and executes TFTP get, to fetch the pwdump2 binary. The server is then pwdump2:ed and the result is returned to the SAM folder of the TFTP server.
OracleSysExec Can be run in interactive mode, letting the user specify commands to be executed by the server or in automatic mode. In automatic mode, netcat is tftpd over to the server and binds a shell to the tcp port 31337.
OracleTNSCtrl - is used to query the TNS listener for various information, like the Oracle lsnrctl utility. It is somewhat limited though. Use the help command to see commands curently implemented.

Buchanan falsely claimed that private accounts would address Social Security's fiscal shortfall "down the road"
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
MSNBC analyst and former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan falsely claimed that President Bush's plans to partially privatize Social Security would address the program's fiscal shortfall "down the road," and that Bush has said as much. In fact, although Bush has suggested that private accounts will be part of the solution, a White House official has acknowledged that the administration's proposal to let workers divert payroll taxes into private accounts will do nothing to address Social Security's long-term revenue shortfall, as Media Matters for America has noted. Rather, Bush's plan will likely attempt to deal with the solvency of the program through substantial cuts in guaranteed benefits.
During a February 10 town hall-style meeting in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, Bush claimed that private accounts "coupled with other reforms" will help ensure Social Security's solvency:
BUSH: Personal accounts alone will not solve the problem. But personal accounts coupled with other reforms that fix the problem will make it more likely a younger worker is going to get the benefits that the government has promised -- closer to the benefits the government has promised. And that's important.
Yet in a White House briefing before Bush's State of the Union address, a "senior administration official" admitted that private accounts will do nothing to address Social Security's long-term revenue shortfall. From the February 2 White House background briefing:
QUESTION: Can you give us a second ten-year estimate on the revenue effect? Can you tell us how you would pay for that, in the first ten years' revenue loss? And am I right in assuming that in the way you describe this, because it's a wash in terms of the net effect on Social Security from the accounts by themselves, that it would be fair to describe this as having -- the personal accounts by themselves as having no effect whatsoever on the solvency issue?
SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: On the second point, that's a fair inference.
That basic fact was also reported by The Washington Post on February 4: "[T]hose [private] accounts will not close the projected $3.7 trillion gap between Social Security benefits promised over the next 75 years and taxes expected to be collected. That gap would have to be closed through benefit cuts that have yet to be detailed."
From the February 14 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:
MATTHEWS: Does this [Bush's proposal] fix it, though? How would personal accounts fix the long-term shortfall on Social Security, the fact that we have so many more people retired than working than we -- in terms of the ratio?
BUCHANAN: Well, I think down the road. But in the short term, it is going to cost an awful lot of money.
MATTHEWS: But who says -- who says in the long term it is going to fix the problem?
BUCHANAN: President Bush.

Billy Currington pleads not guilty, court date set in Georgia incident
Listen to Billy Currington on iHeartRadio
Billy Currington is pleading not guilty to charges of making terroristic threats and abuse of an elder person.
Savannah's WSAV-TV says attorney Alex Zipperer entered the plea in a Georgia court Wednesday on the country singer's behalf, and Currington did not appear in court. The next court date in the case has been set for October 4th.
Currington's case stems from an incident near Tybee Island back in April, involving the singer and tour boat captain Charles Harvey Ferrelle. Ferrelle claims Currington started screaming at him and threatened his life while he was carrying his customers on his boat past the singer's home.
While police responded at the time of the incident, Currington was not arrested. He was indicted ten days later, and turned himself in to authorities within 24 hours of the indictment.

IS the second machine set to boot off the cd drive in the BIOS? (Dumb question I know, but start at the beginning).
What speed did you burn at? I typically burn all my data CD's at 8x or less. Some older drives (heck some newer drives) have problems reading discs burned at ultra-high speeds. Theo other thing that springs to mind is the media you used. When you burned the disc, was it on a brand name disc or one of those 100-pack discs for $9.99? It does make a difference if you quality brand name discs.
Is the hardware exactly the same between the two machines? A lot of OEM's 'multi-source' their hardware. You could have a Matsushita drive in one and a Pioneer drive in the other.
Just trying to help you out.
In the immortal words of one my good friends:
'I think you have a bad burn"

Roger Ebert's Best Zingers
(NEWSER) – Roger Ebert loved good movies—here's histop 10—but those reviews aren't nearly as fun as the ones for god-awful flicks. Some of the slams getting passed around in the wake of his death today:
- Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo: "Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks." (After Rob Schneider questioned the credentials of an earlier reviewer.)
- North: "I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained it."
- Last Rites: "Was there no one connected with this project who read the screenplay, considered the story, evaluated the proposed film and vomited?"
- Brown Bunny: "I will one day be thin, but Vincent Gallo will always be the director of The Brown Bunny."
- Mad Dog: "Watching Mad Dog Time is like waiting for the bus in a city where you're not sure they have a bus line."
- Little Indian, Big City: "There is a movie called Fargoplaying right now. It is a masterpiece. Go see it. If you, under any circumstances, see Little Indian, Big City, I will never let you read one of my reviews again."
- Baby Geniuses: "This is an old idea, beautifully expressed by Wordsworth, who said, 'Heaven lies about us in our infancy.' If I could quote the whole poem instead of completing this review, believe me, we'd all be happier. But I press on."

Oregon school shooter had AR-15 in guitar case
(NEWSER) – Police still don't know why 15-year-old Jared Padgett shot and killed a fellow student at Reynolds High School in Oregon yesterday, only that Padgett seemed intent on killing many more people. Padgett brought an AR-15 rifle to school in a guitar case, right on the school bus, reports KOIN-TV. He also had a semiautomatic handgun, though he didn't use it, along with a large knife, a camouflage helmet, an ammo vest, and nine loaded magazines with several hundred rounds, reports the Oregonian.

To David, there is power in the uknowning. In the unraveling. In the dismantling journey towards unbelief. Where unbelief is true belief. David takes it too far. By focusing outside the temple and outside of the mountain, the very foundation of the temple, David is basically condemning these things as useless. Much like Jesus did when he spoke to the institutional representatives and told them they were dead inside. David is challenging us to see that the foundation of the institutions are the issue.

Reviews for this host's other properties
I Boket an apartment in Kiev, which was very cheap according Wimdu site, and paid the full amount for 11 nights good time before departure. I konaktet host, and said if I would come and that we would meet near the apartment. When I was near the front apartment and told the host (using SMS), she said that the apartment is not available, and I had another link to another apartment! I got a new apartment with about the same standard as what I had seen in the image on WIMDUs site, but she believed that there had been mistakes in pricing, so the price they had set for the entire period (11 nights) were actually priced by one night! I had understood pay remaining, for 10 nights, when I realized that something wrong had happened, because it opperinnelige priced very low! But I had activity for the right price, which was 11 times higher than what was stated, had I not taken the apartment through Wimdu, and tried another rental-frma!
Jeg boket en leilighet i Kiev, som var veldig billig iflg WIMDU site, og betalte hele summen for 11 netter god tid før avreise. Jeg konaktet verten og sa når jeg skulle komme og at vi skulle møtes nær leiligheten.
Når jeg var framme nær leiligheten, og ga beskjed til verten (med SMS), sa hun at den leiligheten ikke er ledig, og jeg måtte til en annen adresse for å få en annen leilighet!
Jeg fikk ny leilighet med omtrent samme standard som det jeg hadde sett på bilden på WIMDUs site, men hun mente at det hadde skjedd feil i prissettingen, slik at priset de hadde angitt for hele perioden (11 netter) var egentlig priset av 1 natt!
Jeg måtte forstås betale resterende, for 10 netter til, da jeg forsto at noe feil hadde skjedd, fordi det opperinnelige priset var veldig lav! Men hadde jeg vitet om riktig pris, som var 11 ganger høyere enn det som var angitt, hadde jeg ikke tatt leiligheten via WIMDU, og prøvd annen rental-frma!

Metallica play surprise gig at Orion Music & more festival
Listen to Metallica on iHeartRadio
The guys in Metallica were pulling double duty at their Orion Music + More festival this weekend. They surprised concertgoers Saturday by taking the stage under the name Dehaan to play their 1983 debut album "Kill 'Em All" in its entirety.
Frontman James Hetfield hinted at the special 30th anniversary performance earlier that day with an Instagram photo of the stage and a caption about looking forward to seeing his "new favorite band" Deehan. Hetfield continued to tease the fans when he came out on stage by himself and asked if anyone knew anything about this unknown band from Baltimore. But he was soon joined by the rest of Metallica, and the quartet kicked off a high-powered 55-minute show with the "Kill 'Em All" opener "Hit the Lights."
Day One of the Detroit festival also featured the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the headlining slot, as well as performances from Rise Against, Dropkick Murphys, Silversun Pickups, and more. Metallica returned to top the bill on Sunday after performances from Deftones, Gogol Bordello, Japandroids, and others.

So I have been thinking about this long and hard recently. What would you do with your time if you had an amount of income from AJ that was enough to support you each month?
Me personally – I would need around £1000 after tax each month, however I would look for £1500-£2000 a month so I could put a bit away each month to act as a cushion for those months where sales are lower than usual.
So the question of what would I do with all the extra time, as I would have an income each month regardless of if I worked or not. For me I currently work 40hrs a week in a 9-5 retail job to pay the bills, another 8 hours a week lecturing at the university and another 30 hours a week on music.
So for me, I would keep the 8 hours of work at the uni but the 40hrs I now have spare I would spend and extra 10-15 hours a week on music giving me a total of 40-45 hours a week musically and then the remaining 25-30hrs I would spend volentry working for my dads company, learning the ropes and helping out.
My family owns a boat design company, it sounds lavish etc but the truth is its family run by just my dad in his office up-stairs, not a big corporate company etc. My dad has always said he will never retire as he loves his work – a stage where I would love to be in my life, doing what love! However business can be slow for him at times and he needs the extra manpower for the online side of things, so he can get on with designing etc, so my extra time would be split between writing music and lending a helping hand with the family business and hopefully my extra input to the business will help being in more income for my parents to retire with.
This is something very close to my heart, hence why I am active and trying to release good quality content regularly so hopefully by 2016/17 I can do exactly what I have said above
More music-making and traveling, I guess. More time with my friends and family.
I would move to a small town with my wife and two cats… and I would get more cats.
The very first day i´ll finally sleep
And then writing and recording music and spend MUCH more time with my twins and family
It´s a long way to go – but i believe!
Keep on rocking and create some great music!

VVC Cocktail Lounge Field Trip
Oh, hello! Happy Friday! I had a hard time motivating to write this post because I finally watched one Leslie Hall video and then COULDN'T STOP. Holy heck.
Anyway, the ladies of VVC descended on a swanky cocktail lounge in the Pearl District last night for our weekly meeting. All in the name of research.
Olive or Twist—cutesy name, cozy interior.
The cocktail menu was small, by Portland standards, with about 15 listed. Luckily for us, there were a couple of real gems in there.
My favorite:
The Spicy Peach – $8.50
Stoli Peach vodka, lime, muddled Serrano chilies, and simple syrup. Yes it is spicy!
Review: This cocktail didn't have as much of a kick as I expected—and hoped—but it tasted like spicy peach limeade and went down in under five minutes.
I will totally make a version of this at home.
The drink that Michele was most excited to try:
Limoncello Drop – $8.50
Vodka, Pallini Limoncello, and a squeeze of fresh lemon with a sugar rim. A great twist on a favorite.
Review: A little too sweet with the limoncello instead of triple sec, which means Michele is still on the quest for that perfect lemon drop.
Runner Up:
Jess and I both enjoyed The Peruvian – $8.50 -Mazama Pepper vodka, mango puree, and lime juice.
I don't have a picture of the Peruvian, so instead I will leave you with this:
I don't know if you can tell, but it's a painting of a woman flying over the ocean with her cat.
I saw it while walking in Santa Cruz on my Bay-area vacation last weekend. What a terrific picture.
3 thoughts on "VVC Cocktail Lounge Field Trip"
I could go for 1 or 2 of those spicy peach ones. Yum!
The perfect lemon drop is usually found at home, with fresh squeezed lemon juice, potato vodka, & agave syrup… shaker, sugar (vegan) lined martini glass, & friends to help shake.
