Hi sexgirl, ich würde dir sehr gerne deine Pussy mit meiner Zunge verwöhnen und nicht nur deine pussy.......ich würde deinen ganzen Körper mit meiner Zunge und den Händen erkunden und keine Stelle auslassen. Deine Brüste massiere ich dir erst recht hart um dann deine hart gewordenen Nippel mit der Zunge zu verwöhnen und mit dem Finger massiere ich dabei deinen Kitzler, so das du vor Lust laut schreist. Wenn du dann richtig heiss und geil bist würde ich gerne mit dir die 69 machen, mit einem Finger im Po und die Lippen saugen den Kiztler auf, das ist für mich das geilste wenn ich sex mit einer Frau hab. Denn nur Frauen können miteinander den besten sex haben, hin und wieder mal einen geilen Schwant, da bin ich nicht abgeneigt, aber der bringt es nicht so gut wie die Hände und die Zunge einer Frau

Weird Rock Band Disembowels 'Sarah Palin' on Stage
Hating Sarah Palin is a personal hobby of mine. But there are lines even I won't cross! GWAR—shock rockers who dress like Transformers at a swingers sex club—recently "went there" by disemboweling Sarah Palin in effigy on stage.
Celebrity executions are part of GWAR's teen-boy-baiting routine, so this stunt is actually pretty normal for them. (Here's a video of GWAR destroying Lady Gaga by "ripping her tits off.") But guys, no! You do not need to toss Sarah Palin's entrails through the air to demonstrate that you do not like her!
[There was a video here]
I mean, I get it, GWAR—it's your job to keep the disaffected youths' testosterone pumping. But remember, visceral hatred need not necessitate actual evisceration. Field dressing is something you do to a moose, not a lady! Besides, Palin: The Musical already exists as a subplot to Obama: The Musical, and it was much catchier than this.
Conclusion: You can imagine disemboweling Sarah Palin in your head, but please avoid pantomiming it onstage in front of a screaming crowd. You don't want to give the Tea Partiers any worse ideas than the ones they already have, do you? Because if they win, Sarah Palin will be president, and then the above stunt will cause the Secret Service to come knocking on your door. [Best Week Ever, The Daily What]

Ice Cream Sandwich finally hits 1% of Android ecosystem
0. phoneArena posted on 02 Feb 2012, 17:01
The numbers weren't expected to be released until tomorrow, but Google released the new quarterly statistics for the Android platform version spread today. Some may call this the proof that Android is "fragmented"...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

I wish Google and oems get their act together. 1 device getting ICS at a time and long waits is just unacceptable.
5. G2Noobin (Posts: 81; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
i actually am not to psyched abot ICSi dislike UI it seems like a little trony than an OS for my hand held Personal Computing Device....gonna google some more Reviews on it... but i gotta say the look doesn't seem appealing but the perks might! ... i unno let me know if you agree/disagree.
10. theBankRobber (Posts: 682; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
I think its great that Google wants more people to know that the Android phone is a Android phone, Not a Galaxy S II or a Moto Droid. You can look at any IOS product and tell is Apple, but people see my wife's Evo 3D and don't even know its a Google Android device because of the OEM's skins. Now I am excited about ICS mainly because of the performance it gives the phone. I read it makes laggy phones run much smoother.
2. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
1%! Not good! Guess my G2 won't be getting updates for a long time and maybe even never. Google sucks! Good thing I have my HD7.
7. ericino (Posts: 4; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
I don't think we'll see our devices getting ICS OTA either. Fortunately, there are some very usable ROMs over at xda-developers.
One even has ICS with MIUI, and it's mighty fast.
3. digicon (Posts: 121; Member since: 11 Aug 2011)
Oh man ! 1 whole percent ! What doorbusting news ! Excuse me while I call CNN !
4. TechDroid (Posts: 37; Member since: 14 Jun 2011)
If you don't like waiting for updates, there is a simple solution:
Root + flash rom
I've had Ice Cream Sandwich on my year old HTC Desire HD for nearly a month

In other words your only solution is to void your warranty.
12. TechDroid (Posts: 37; Member since: 14 Jun 2011)
Well, if you want timely updates without flashing roms, you need a nexus phone. If not, you usually have to wait some months for your phone to get updated.
I was also scared that rooting would brick my phone, but I have not experienced a single issue so far :)
6. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
soo..does this mean there's already around 2,5 million galaxy nexuses out there? ( giving the fact that there's around 270 million android devices in use)
8. ericino (Posts: 4; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
I think they also count rooted devices running ICS.
Not quite sure how many of us exist though, would love to see a number on that :)
9. danwatson (Posts: 117; Member since: 03 Jan 2012)
We probably shouldn't count the differences between small release upgrades like 2.3 to 2.3.3. I mean, we care how many windows users are using windows 7 to XP, but does it really matter if they are on sp2 or sp3?. Major releases are the only items that should be shown i.e. 2.1, 2.2, 2.3.... 3.0. Granted, that only gets rid of 2 versions listed on this chart. Google should probably stop making early versions available to new devices only allowing the last 2 iterations to be available at any one time for use. No new devices running 2.2
13. TechDroid (Posts: 37; Member since: 14 Jun 2011)
I see what you mean, but you have to remember that this information is primarily for developers, and there are some minor differences in API's between small versions, such as 2.3 and 2.3.3.
For non-developers, I agree that it would be easier to see differences if the minor upgrades are not included :)

Mazda3 vs Honda Accord
ecofun Posts: 23If it's between a Mazda 3 and an Accord, here's my take:
I own both vehicles right now. Both are outstanding cars but much different. If you want to cruise around in comfort, go for the Accord. If you are looking for fun commuting, go for the 3.
We needed a third car in the family since we added two teenage drivers in the past year. When deciding what to do, we were driving an 03 CRV and and 04 Accord EX V6. I drove the Accord and for three years enjoyed trouble free driving, a real pleasure to drive on the highway with all the passing power you need. But when it came time to add the third car, I figured now was the time to add some fun driving to the lineup. I looked at the Civic EX coupe and Si coupe as well as the Mazda 3. The Si was probably the most exhilarating ride, but the other two weren't far behind when it comes to everyday driving. Let's face it, how often does one get to go crazy on some winding back road. I figured that the premium gas and lower EPA more than offset the extra charge I might get out of the Si on very infrequent occassions. Cross off the Si.
Moving on to the EX and the 3, I thought the EX handled well enough, got great gas mileage and could have been an excellent choice. It would have been my safe choice since I new well Honda reliability. Two drawbacks: 1) Honda still hasn't been able to deliver an interior look and feel that matches all the other Honda quality and performance. The cloth fabric in the coupe is just blah (and if it thinks the swirly action enhances the look, forget it!); 2)no stability and traction control that will come in handy in snowy NH.
For a while, I actually thought about an Accord EX manual given the discounts that Honda is passing on. Then I said to myself, stick with the more fun ride. That's why I went with the Mazda 3. With the choice of models offered, I went with a GT manual hatchback. Love the car. Solid as a rock, handles extremely well, good looking leather interior, BOSE system, stability/traction control, zenon headlights, rain sensor windshield, etc, etc. While not a primary reason for choosing the 3, I have had more compliments in two months of ownership than I had in three years with the Accord. The Mazda 3 has got to be the best value of any car I have owned including a BMW, Volvo, two Saabs, VWs, Toyota Celica, and others.
Before you make your decision, asked yourself "Do I want to sit back and relax and let the Accord do all the work or would I rather have a blast in the Mazda 3?"
eldaino Posts: 1,618hey no prob man!
though it does make me feel bad, especially considering that i too have gotten into it with people over splitting hairs, but its usually provoked, i don't like to randomly lash out!
i actually read the article in question, and the parameters were : a base price at or less than 20k. (does the ex manual sticker for less than this? or at least AT this? i know an ex auto with no add ons now goes for a bit over 20k, whereas the sticke on my auto ex was 19 something.)
50lbs isn't much though, and not enough for a discrepancy in 0-60 times at least. (i.e. the gti 4 door weighs about this much more than the 2 door, but the times are the same, if not better for the 4 door. Samething for the si sedan with relation to the coupe.)
Well, the '08 Accord has convinced me that I won't be buying an Accord. Too darned big.
I don't understand this constant growing of vehicles. The current gen Civic is larger than the original Accord. I assume that was the motivation behind bringing out the small Fit - they needed a new small car.
Where will the insanity end? Will the 13th generation Accord be the size of a Lincoln Town Car?
Was an 07 Accord too big? Or does a mere 3" longer, and 1" wider make that much difference to you. It doesn't seem like much to me. The Accord has been growing, but so have us Americans. Are your kids bigger than you were at their age? I know my son is, and my nieces and nephews are bigger than their parents too.
Was an 07 Accord too big?
Yes. But just barely. I was wavering on the size issue. The extra inches of the 08 push it over the edge.
Are your kids bigger than you were at their age?
No, they are smaller. You make a valid point, but it doesn't apply to me. I am the largest in my family and am only 5'9", 145 lbs. And my kids have moved out, so most of the time it's just me or me and the wife. I don't need or want a car this large.
How about a Civic, or TSX? I'm not a real Honda/Acura salesman, but I do play one on the internet. And I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express last night.
d_hyper Posts: 130There will be a new Mazda6 soon and it promises to be a looker (not much bigger than the current gen)
Based on the one spy photo I saw, I'm not really pleased with the looks. I'd rather have a current one than the new 6.
I agree. Too many new models are becoming increasingly bloated and heavier.
How about a Civic, or TSX?
The non-Si Civic doesn't come with ESC, so I won't own one of those. The TSX and Mazda3 sTouring are both on my short list. I've test driven both and like both. Obviously the TSX is more refined, but I have to decide if it's worth the extra $10k or so. I don't like the wide turning circle of the TSX, but the Mazda3 has several small issues as well (weak A/C, hard to read dash displays).
divewreck Posts: 50I also looked at an accord. While it has everything I want, I can't justify its big size for 1, maybe 2 adults. Mazda3 (and the 6)has everything too. I had a 323 wagon for 7 years, one of the best cars I ever had. Why does the 3 gets higher ratings than the 6? I thought they were built on the same platform, even if there is only a 10 inch difference in length
The 3 shares a platform with the Gen2 (in Europe) Ford Focus, and Volvo S40. The 6 does not share this platform, I believe.
The current Mazda3 is on Fords Global C1 Platform, which was devoloped by Volvo.
The Mazda6 sits on Mazda's GG/GY platform, Ford uses it for their midsized global partner vehicles, and calls it the CD3 platform.
The next gen Mazda6 is going to sit on the EUCD platform, devoloped by Volvo as well, and is currently used in the new European Ford Mondeo.
On a side note, I wish Ford would bring the Euro Mondeo over here. It's a hot car, and puts the Fusion to shame...acutally, most of Ford products in Europe are hot, and they would do really well over here.
In all honesty, a platform does not really mean too much. What really matters is what is placed on top of the platform.
I decided on the Mazda3 over the Accord and TSX. Just bought a 2008 sTouring manual, aurora mica blue, leather, and sunroof. So far, I'm pleased with it. I love the turning circle.
Coincidentally, after owning it for one day, I went to Oregon on vacation where my rental car was a Mazda6! Same engine (2.3). It didn't feel any bigger. Had nice handling, but I like the 3's handling and acceleration better (granted, I have a manual and the rental was automatic, but I could feel the difference with the 3's lighter body).
This thread is interesting because I am debating this exact comparison. Currently have an 02 Accord SE 4 cyl MT. Reliable as a claw hammer but I am getting sleepy just thinking about driving it. Have test driven the Mazda3 and wife drives a Mazda5. I really enjoy the dynamics of the 3 and even the 5.
So yesterday I test drove an 08 Accord EX 4cyl MT. I was somewhat underwhelmed. Way better driving than my 02 but typical Accord in that nothing is wrong or annoying, but nothing exciting. And it has become a large car. If it had a bit more "wow" in the test drive there would be no contest for me. But...
The Mazda3 is much more exciting to drive but the overall seat comfort and driving position (center console way too wide and interferes with my right leg/foot) bugs me. Typical Mazda - fun to drive but has some warts. The options combinations are interesting as well. The Accord has VSA, better crash safety, and overall should be the more trouble-free car. For 90% of my driving (commuting) it will be the better car. The 3 gives me heated seats (a big deal to me here in balmy Canada), hatchback option, yet the Canadian 3s do not get VSA! Price-wise Honda is provding rebates here in Canada with the whole dollar thing while Mazda has not yet done so (to my knowledge) so pricing ends up being similar.
So I am still not sure what to get!

Sounds like 10% is all you need to make your decision. Alternatively, you could try the dealership games and see what kind of competitive offers can be had.
p.s. Mazda needs to review their pricing.

It's definitely a tough choice. Will have to test drive them back to back. I am not ready to pull the trigger yet - I think here in Canada they are still going to have to go lower. I talked to a Mazda dealer and he was genuinely POd about Mazda's lack of movement to this point.
tallman1 Posts: 1,874The 3 gives me heated seats (a big deal to me here in balmy Canada)
You could always spend the extra bucks and get the EX-L for the heated seats in the Accord.
You could always spend the extra bucks and get the EX-L for the heated seats in the Accord.
I might consider that if the pricing gets more aggressive. However at this point the EX-L is edging out of my price range. The Accord as a whole was more than I want to spend but the rebates are starting to come in. With the rebates on the Honda the EX currently would work out to the same as a loaded 3.
There are no rebates on the Honda Accord right now, not the 2008 anyway.
p.s. Mazda needs to review their pricing.
The Mazda3 is right on par, in terms of pricing, with the Honda Civic, in which it competes against. Not the Accord.
BTY, Mazda3 does have DSC on the s Touring and Grand Touring models.

Canadian prices are a wonderous thing to behold and a mystery to unravel. Moreover, competing against the Honda Civic on par in terms of price seems problematic to me when one considers that the Mazda3 is going into its 5th (and likely last) model year while the Honda Civic has recently gone through a significant makeover.

Yes, the Civic recently had a major over haul, however, the Mazda3 in it's 5th year of production still is considered a top pick, and still has features and options that the competition still does not have (leather, climate control, Xenon's). Even being in it's 5th year of production, the Mazda3 is no where near obsolete. Look at the 2005 Civic, that was a dinosaur compared to the Mazda3. You cannot say that now about the Mazda3 compared to the new Civic.
As far as Canadian prices go, I cannot help you in that, I'm from the U.S., and are only familiar with U.S. pricing. Comparably equipped, the Mazda3 and Civic are the same price.
blane Posts: 2,017What makes you think that Civics do not have leather and climate control? The headlanps are Halogen, less likely to blind an oncoming driver than Xenon. Just buy an EX-L.
http://automobiles.honda.com/images/2008/civic-sedan/downloads/2008-civic-sedan-- - factsheet.pdf
I was unaware that the 2008 Civic has leather. My apologies. The 2008 Mazda3's are soon to have a power seat as well, something Civic does not have. I don't believe the Civic has stability control or traction control either.
The headlamps are Halogen, less likely to blind an oncoming driver than Xenon
Xenons are also the closest thing to natural light that man can produce. On back roads it makes night driving very easy.
My point was that even in it's 5th year of production, the Mazda3 is a no where near obsolete. Usually models that late into their run are in dire need of a makeover, for example the current Mazda6.
I've got nothing against the 3, but its road noise is pretty horrendous on the interstate with the uplevel wheels; you feel every piece of the road in your butt, too.
I have two friends with these cars; one has a 3S and I don't like riding in it. I prefer the 3i. It rides a lot more like the Civic, which is a good compromise to me.
Yeah, the 3s's have a stiffer ride. Some like it, some don't. Do the 17's really perform better? I don't think it matters too much. I think they look nicer, but, the tires are more money to replace.
I'm surprised it took this long to offer leather in the Civic. Most every car in this class has it now, i think.
If you think about though, it really shouldn't be too surprising. Honda didn't even offer leather on the Odyssey van until 2002.
Here in Alabama, I'd never have leather as my first choice since it gets so hot. I do understand others wanting it though. (From what I understand, some of the leather in vehicles like Corolla and Cobalt can feel like little more than glorified vinyl, although I have no first-hand experience to confirm this).
(From what I understand, some of the leather in vehicles like Corolla and Cobalt can feel like little more than glorified vinyl, although I have no first-hand experience to confirm this).
I can't say I's disagree with you there, however, I have not seen the leather in the Corolla. Cobalt, not very nice. The Focus had cheesy leather too.

The RIAA has been suing people willy-nilly for years with slim proof that the defendants actually shared music illegally. The lawsuits often seemed to be nothing more than a marketing attempt by the RIAA to get people to realize they could and would sue if you illegally shared music or they suspected you did.
Despite all of the suits that the RIAA filed, against people living and dead, the tide of music piracy never turned in its favor. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) cites numbers from the NPD Group that show illegal music sharing stayed about the same throughout the RIAA's inquisition.
This week, The WSJ reported that the RIAA has announced it will stop its slash and burn suit policy and focus on other methods of preventing piracy that is thinks will be more effective. Since the RIAA started is massive campaign of litigation, it has brought legal proceedings against 35,000 people.
The RIAA says that it will now focus on working with individual ISPs to help stop piracy. When a person on an ISP is suspected of pirating music the RIAA will send an email to the ISP, who can then get with the individual customer to try to stop piracy. As is par for the RIAA's course, it makes no mention of how exactly it will gather evidence of piracy against ISP customers. Many wonder if the RIAA will simply resort to massive spamming of hundreds of thousands of suspected file sharers to ISPs.
If an ISP determines that a user is sharing music illegally, it will send an email warning the customer to begin with. That warning, if unheeded, could be followed by more warning letters from the ISP. If the user fails to stop file sharing, their internet connection could be slowed or terminated altogether.
The bad news for alleged file shares that already have RIAA litigation pending against them is that The WSJ says the RIAA will proceed with pending suits. That means that the retrial date set for the tossed verdict in the Jammie Thomas case will continue.
New York State Attorney General Andre Cuomo is also working to broker a deal between the RIAA and ISPs to help address both parties' privacy concerns. One key point in the RIAAs new tact on piracy is that it will not ask for the names of alleged music traders.
Cuomo's chief of staff Steven Cohen told The WSJ, "We wanted to end the litigation. It's not helpful." For its part, the RIAA thinks that the new policy will reach more people to make them aware that the man has an eye on them. RIAA group chairman Mitch Bainwol said, "Part of the issue with infringement is for people to be aware that their actions are not anonymous."
Brian Toder, the attorney representing a woman from Minnesota in a file sharing case said, "I'd give them credit for stopping what they've already been doing because it's been so destructive." Unfortunately, for his client, her litigation will continue despite the new policy.

TACOMA, Wash. – University of Puget Sound has once again been named one of the country's best institutions for undergraduate education by The Princeton Review. The 2013 edition of the annual book The Best 377 Colleges (Random House/Princeton Review) also features Puget Sound in three "Top 20" nationwide categories: Most Accessible Professors (#9); Best College Radio Station (#9); and Most Liberal Students (#18).
Only about 15 percent of America's 2,500 four-year colleges (and three colleges outside the United States) are profiled in the educational services company's flagship college guide.
The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges academically or from 1 to 377 in any category. Instead it rates each school on a measure of 60 to 99 in eight categories including: quality of life, "green" campus, academics, accessible professors, interesting professors, fire safety, selectivity, and financial aid. Puget Sound rates highly overall and exceptionally (90-plus score) in the categories of academics, "green" campus, interesting professors, accessible professors, and selectivity.
In addition the book includes rankings of "Top 20" colleges in various categories. These lists are based on The Princeton Review's survey of 122,000 students attending the institutions (about 324 students per campus on average).
"We commend University of Puget Sound for its outstanding academics, which is the primary criteria for our selection of schools for the book," said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's senior vice president and author of The Best 377 Colleges. "Our choices are based on institutional data we collect about schools, our visits to schools over the years, feedback we gather from students attending the schools, and the opinions of our staff and our 30-member National College Counselor Advisory Board."
In the book's profile of Puget Sound, students who filled in the survey questionnaire are quoted extensively, including comments such as:
"It's small, so students have greater access to professors, and many professors are willing to work outside of class with students," and "All are genuinely passionate about their subjects and accessible for extra help or attention," and "they also expect a high quality of work from all the students."
"There are a considerable amount of leadership opportunities," and "People love being outdoors, walking down to the waterfront … taking bike rides, going to Mount Rainier."
"Everybody here is a unique and exciting person, and we are all passionate about our diverse areas of study," and "I haven't ever been in a place that is more accepting of all backgrounds."

An NBA team has drawn some criticism from its city for being a little too pale. The 2012 Minnesota Timberwolves will open the season with an astonishing five out of 15 African American players (33 percent), and only one black starter. According to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, it will be the league's whitest roster since the 1980s Boston Celtics.
Some civil rights leaders in Minneapolis are calling foul.
Tyrone Terrell, chairman of St. Paul's African American leadership council, was incredulous, telling the Star-Tribune that he thinks the roster looks like a ploy by the ownership to sell the team to a majority-white fan base.
"How did we get a roster that resembles the 1955 Lakers?" Terrell said to the Star-Tribune. "I think everything is a strategy. Nothing happens by happenstance."
Ron Edwards, a longtime Minneapolis civil rights advocate, told the paper that last year it was "somewhat disturbing" when he saw a game where Wes Johnson was the only black player on the floor for the Timberwolves. He was even more distressed about this year's 33 percent team.
"It raises some real questions to me about what's really intended," Edwards said. "I think, personally, that it was calculated. Is this an attempt to get fans back in the stands? Minnesota, after all, is a pretty white state."
Timberwolves president of basketball operations David Kahn said claims of racial bias toward white players were "patently false."
Half of the team's "white" players, though, are actually international competitors. Five of the 10 were born outside of the US.
Last year, the league was made up of 78 percent African-American players, so what does the existence of an NBA team that is two-thirds white really mean?

North Carolina District Export Council Wins Inaugural Council of the Year Award
North Carolina DEC promotes the President's National Export Initiative
DETROIT – The nation's 60 District Export Councils (DEC), partnering with the Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration (ITA), convened in Detroit for the annual International District Export Council Conference. DECs and ITA work together to promote the importance of U.S. exports to strengthening the U.S. economy, and creating and supporting American jobs. ITA today honored the North Carolina DEC as the 2010 DEC of the Year for its outstanding efforts in fostering exports.
"The North Carolina District Export Council has an outstanding record of mentoring local new-to-export and new-to-market companies on exporting, and supporting President Obama's National Export Initiative" said Ro Khanna, U.S. and Foreign Commercial deputy assistant secretary for domestic operations. "The group's work with local United States Export Assistance Centers is critical to expanding U.S. exports and supporting American jobs."
In addition to mentoring local companies on the advantages of exporting, the North Carolina DEC excelled in export education, conducting Export University and ExporTech classes throughout the state. It has joined forces with the South Carolina DEC to organize a trade mission to Canada on November 1. Wayne Cooper of Arcon Manufacturing, Charlotte, N.C., is the North Carolina DEC chairman.
This is the inaugural DEC of the Year Award recognizing the contributions and accomplishments of an outstanding local DEC in furthering the mission of the ITA in the categories of company outreach, innovation and strategic management.
"During this year, the North Carolina DEC excelled in its efforts to promote the benefits of exporting to North Carolina businesses. Its efforts will help us achieve President Obama's goal of doubling U.S. exports in five years," added Francisco Sánchez, Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade. "As partners, we strive to expand U.S. exports resulting in increased demand and production, and the creation of American jobs needed to ensure the continued strengthening of the U.S. economy."
The four-day International DEC Conference brings DEC members, U.S. government officials, trade organizations, and business representatives together to address key trade issues. This year's conference theme is "Capitalizing on America's Export Advantages: Green & Innovation." Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will address the conference on Tuesday.
Under Secretary Sánchez will highlight the importance of our trade relationship with Canada during remarks Tuesday evening in Windsor, Ontario, as part of the conference's "Trade & Canada" day agenda.

Holiday apartments and houses in North Holland, the idyllic holiday destination for the entire family
North Holland | From all around the world guests travel to the Province North Holland in order to spend a vacation here. Particularly families with children book holiday homes in North Holland as there is lot on offer and interesting things to do which provides for a diverse family vacation. One is able to find apartments and bungalows in the most lovely regions whether directly at the sea or in small picturesque towns and villages. Holiday homes in North Holland are the synonym for recuperation and relaxation far away from the stresses of everyday life.
Peaceful holidays in holiday homes in North Holland
The peninsula and province North Holland are surrounded by the Wadden Sea, Lake IJssel as well as North Sea and covers around 4,000 km² including the island Texel in the north and Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, in the southeast guaranteeing pure vacation atmosphere. Individualists can discover the enticing sights and opt for more activity with sailing, wind or kite surfing, diving or cycling. Families with children visit the extensive beaches, build sand castles or swim in partly shallow waters. Great bathing resorts along the west coast include Julianadorp, Egmond aan Zee or Callantsoog. Sailors prefer Monnickendam and Hoorn as starting points for exciting sailing tours over Lake IJssel. Holiday homes in North Holland also invite you to explore the island Texel. There are regular ferry connections from Den Helder which take guests to the island and they operate around every half an hour. The impressive beautiful beaches invite you to spend some carefree hours at the sea and the dune landscapes are perfect for long walks through breathtaking nature. The most well known place on Texel is surely Den Burg as with its small houses and picturesque village church is the cultural centre of the island. The former fishing village De Koog is the official bathing resort of Texel. Only separated by dunes from the sea it offers with its pretty houses a memorable holiday experience.
North Holland is a paradise for those yearning for vacation
From a holiday home in North Holland one should not wait too long to go on a discovery tour as there are many beautiful places waiting to be explored. Here we are not talking of Amsterdam the impressive metropolis on the southeast of the peninsula and where one could spend an entire vacation visiting the old town with its idyllic canals, the impressive museums and impressive buildings. But it is also towns and villages such as Bergen, Bergen aan Zee, Zandvoort, Petten and Sint Maartenszee that enthral visitors. Beyond the Netherlands the former fishing village Zandvoort has a claim to fame as it did not only develop to an impressive seaside resort but between 1952 and 1985 the Circuit Park Zandvoort played host to Formula 1 and to this day it is an important venue for national and international race car series.

OCEAN CITY — For a guy who says he's about to retire, Seacrets owner Leighton Moore is an awfully busy man.
Admittedly, the local kingpin of nightclubs and recently crowned "Restaurateur of the Year" by the Restaurant Association of Maryland has a hard time sitting still, and he always has a proverbial iron in the fire. So, when he announced that he would be retiring after the summer season, there were some that were reluctant to believe him, knowing him as a man always thinking of the next move.
Moore's new venture is not exactly the most parallel of moves in his industry, as he's been spending most of his time at his boatyard in Bishopville building attack-type vessels that have gained the interest of the United States Armed Forces.
The one he arrived to the interview in last week was a 38-foot flat-bottomed boat that has the capabilities of reaching speeds up to 50 mph in less than six inches of water, stopping on a literal dime at high rates of speed, and boasts maneuverability that could make the most cast-iron stomachs rush for the edge of the boat. Simply put, if you want to feel like you are in some sort of an action movie, take a ride one of these boats. It's evident, however, that when Moore talks, people tend to listen in Ocean City, as recently referenced by his recommendation, which was eventually approved, to the Mayor and Council that cutting the food and beverage tax in half would still enable the town to fund the multi-million dollar expansion to the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and build a performing arts center that he supports.
Somewhere in the midst of a 360-degree spin in his boat in the middle of the Assawoman bay at a break neck pace, The Dispatch realized that there is no word "retirement" in Moore's vocabulary.
Dispatch: Last time we talked, you said you were retiring, have you had a change of heart, or are you just putting more time into the boat project?
Moore: I've had the same group of guys running Seacrets between 13 and 21 years, and they can certainly run it, and as a result, I was rarely here this summer, because I knew they could do it. As my great grandfather did, I wanted to build boats. He built wooden schooners out of massive sailing ships out of Bethel, Del., believe it or not, and they had to take their boats out on full moon tide and that's what I'll have to do in Bishopville.
Dispatch: Talk a little bit about these boats that you are building, and we've heard that the US Armed Forces are seriously considering these boats for the future.
Moore: They are metal boats, but I'm using wood too, as wood is cheaper and I'm much more familiar with it.
I would've never believed that it would have taken me that long to do anything because it took three construction and destruction trials of the wheelhouse alone to get it the way I wanted it.
We now have a 38-foot fireboat that will be able to pump 1,500-2,000 gallons a minute, a 48-foot and a 28- foot fireboat as well. The fact that the armed forces are even considering these boats is pretty cool.
But, I can see why they would be, as if you've got a 38-foot boat that goes 50 mph in three inches of water and can stop in deep water on a dime, it turns some heads.
Dispatch: Are there any boats on the market that inspired your model or is this your original idea?
Moore: The look of the boat is from Alaska, but the ski part that makes it go in really shallow water is our design, as is the wheelhouse that I mentioned earlier. The house is very simply thought but very complicated to actually do, but it's a challenge and that's what I'm all about.
I've got to keep moving because other boat companies are going to try to copy it once they get a feel for what I'm doing, and believe me, the word is out on these boats far and wide.
Dispatch: There are many businesses that franchise, and with your recent "top 10 nightclub" in the United States ranking, any thoughts of opening Seacrets anywhere else?
Moore: We were considering franchising this place about seven years ago. We patented and trademarked the name here and Canada and the Bahamas and Mexico, and all of that, and when we got ready to use it, another company came in and stole the name. So we are finishing the second of what could be a three-round legal fight on that front, but after that, we may franchise Seacrets.
You know, I had a challenge with Seacrets, but if I stay and keep running this place, the great crew that I've surrounded myself with won't want to stick around, so that's why I've worked hard to make this place self-sustaining.
Dispatch: Everyone is talking about the state of the restaurant industry in this town, especially since the summer was so rough on a lot of the business owners. What's your take on how the summer went and how the winter in Ocean City is going to be?
Moore: The people who were able to handle the masses of customers when they were here, and those who can shrink and scale back their properties when the masses go home will always fare well. I stopped enlarging Seacrets when the government lowered the allowable Blood Alcohol Content to .08, which I think we still haven't felt the full effect of that decision. The fact that people can't imbibe as much obviously hurts the bottom line, but most people are just pointing to the numbers of people who are coming in the door rather than the fact they are spending much less. People are still coming to Ocean City, but they are just spending much less.
Dispatch: What do you see for the future for the local restaurant business?
Moore: The future is probably going to bring more of the same. High-end places have taken a hit, and I think it's going to be that way for awhile. We've got a really bad situation with the economy as more people are being laid off, but still wanting to travel, people staying in smaller units, and the cost of food is continuing to rise because of how expensive the land is here, not only in the restaurants, but in the grocery stores as well. People are going to go out less and bring their own supplies with them when they come here, and unfortunately, I think it could get worse before it gets better.
Dispatch: In recent winters in Ocean City, more and more businesses are closing for longer periods of time, including your restaurant a few days a week. Do you think that trend will continue?
Moore: I think anyone that doesn't do that is stubborn, especially on the island, because of the taxes and the cost of land that the tax is based on.
People are moving out of town, and everyone in this town loses money by staying open in the winter. Why more places don't close down in the winter, I don't understand. God bless them, but I don't get it because there's really no one in town. We started closing down because we couldn't afford to keep playing that game anymore in the winter, and that's why we are revisiting the idea of franchising Seacrets, so we can provide a place to go in the off-season for our employees who need to sustain their income and have the mobility to go.
Dispatch: The town of Ocean City is now spending more money than it ever has before to advertise to all places off the so-called island. As far as the current advertising campaign goes, how do you rate the town's message to the masses?
Moore: When a lot of other resorts were cutting back on their advertising budgets, (the town of Ocean City) actually increased theirs dramatically, and if they hadn't done that, we all would be really hurting in this town. But, changing the ad agency now in my opinion is a bad move. I don't have any axes to grind or have any candle to hold for the current company, but sometimes you stay with something that put Ocean City on the map more so than ever, and they did that so why would we change to a new agency now in these uncertain times. There's a ramp up cost in anything, and to just start over with a brand new company would take time and produce a percentage loss in effectiveness, so I'm not in favor of switching.
Dispatch: So are you saying that the Rodney the Lifeguard campaign was a success in your eyes?
Moore: I think the money thrown at the campaign was more of a factor than the actual campaign itself, but to be honest with you, I couldn't be happier with how this summer ended up, and we certainly didn't break any records here at Seacrets. We were quite prepared for a break-even type of summer.
Dispatch: You've been a big proponent of the town's approved measure to expand the Roland E. Powell Convention Center and the creation of a 1,200-seat performing arts center. With the start of the expansion being pushed back in lieu of the economy and statewide funding cuts, how important is it for the town of Ocean City to get a nod to begin construction sooner rather than later?
Moore: I think the decision to push it back is political, as there are so many hitting the governor right now, and so many things draining the money brought in right now. Every facet of Ocean City is effected as there are more people in town for conventions or events at the convention center, and it will create more revenue and tax dollars for the state, which they need right now.
I think the Maryland Stadium Authority will eventually agree to go into a partnership with the town of Ocean City and get this expansion done, but anyone who voted against the expansion and the performing arts center I think has an axe to grind somewhere else and are trying to make a point. I don't get it, and I never will understand why people wouldn't want this.
Dispatch: You've also built a pretty successful radio station (WOCM 98.1 FM) that has gotten a lot of respect all across the country as being a top-notch place on the dial with top-notch talent. What was idea behind getting into the radio biz?
Moore: At first it was a way to promote Seacrets, and now, mostly because of the guys I have, like Bulldog and Skip (Dixxon), it's turned into something much more. People want to go and see shows in this town, they call the station all the time for tickets in other cities, so that money we could be getting by bringing acts to Ocean City, we are losing because there is not a real place to see a real show in this town.
Dispatch: As Ocean City moves into the future, can this town walk the line between staying true to nostalgia and history, while still catering and offering amenities that the modern vacationer demands?
Moore: Ocean City isn't a fishing village anymore, but it does have some of the amenities that larger towns don't have, such as Assateague next door, and all the outdoor sports and activities.
I don't think the town is going to grow that much more, because there are so many empty units as there is, plus I think the emergence of all this large condominiums has damaged some of the charm of Ocean City.
We can't afford to lose Trimper's, Jolly Roger or overbuild the Boardwalk. The only thing I see [City Council] doing of detriment to the town is to raise taxes anymore than what they are, and to not put in the Performing Arts Center. That's the draw that the town needs for the near future.
Dispatch: So, when you said you were retiring last spring, you basically just were saying that you weren't going to be clocking into Seacrets anymore, because it doesn't sound like you are slowing down at all.
Moore: When I get done designing these boats, I want a new challenge and maybe the Armed Forces will offer me a challenge as far as a project goes, or maybe we'll get to franchise Seacrets, which is something I've always wanted to do.
But, as far as coming in on a daily basis to 49th Street, I come in so rarely now, my guys probably have forgotten my number.

Yoga Mat or No Yoga Mat? That Is The QuestionPosted on: March 21st, 2011 by Mark Carmer
There are definitely many benefits when using a yoga mat… and more specifically, having your own yoga mat and not borrowing one from the club, gym, yoga studio or from a friend. One of the obvious reasons to use a yoga mat, also called a sticky mat, is to reduce the risk of injuring yourself. Yoga mats can prevent injuries that can occur while practicing yoga. The surface can be slippery (bare floors). Especially if you are taking yoga classes where floors are not being cleaned between classes.
Is it better to borrow/rent a yoga mat from a yoga studio or to bring your own yoga mat to your yoga classes? Purchasing your own yoga mat will limit the exposure to bacteria and germs and you are only exposed to your own germs. You are responsible for your mat and you can clean it any time. If you are not using a mat you are exposing yourself to others germs and your well-being. Additionally, mats will definitely cushion the floor and provide support which is needed for improving balance and coordination and provide better overall health.
If you are considering buying a new yoga mat, don't forget to look at all the yoga mat options that are available (clean pvc yoga mats, rubber yoga mats, cotton yoga mats, thick yoga mats and many other eco friendly yoga mats).

With 13 league games, the second leg of the Canadian Championship final, and an international friendly between the United States and Scotland that featured three MLSers (and six league alums), Week 12 was one of the busiest stretches in the 17-year history of Major League Soccer.
Every team was in action – several played twice – and many sides ran hot during the jam-packed seven-day stretch, while others went stone cold.
There's a lot to cover; let's get stuck in.
Red Rebound
A tiny light appeared at the end of the tunnel for Toronto FC this week, and with any luck (though, of course, luck has been in short supply for The Reds lately), it won't turn out to be a train.
HIGHLIGHTS: TFC earn first points
After stumbling to an unprecedented 0W-9L-0D start, and staging a public, intra-team debate about whether or not they were "the worst team in the world" – as striker Danny Koevermans recently put it – TFC earned some consolation by defeating Vancouver 1-0 in the final of the Amway Canadian Championship last Wednesday.
Reggie Lambe's 83rd-minute goal made the difference, delivering a 2-1 aggregate win to The Reds and sealing their fourth consecutive Canadian title, along with a berth in the 2012-13 CONCACAF Champions League.
Boosted by that triumph, TFC edged Philadelphia Union 1-0 on Saturday at BMO Field to - finally! - bag their first MLS win of the year.
Appropriately enough, the goalscorer was Koevermans, whose "worst team" comment prompted teammate Adrian Cann to challenge Koevermans "do something about it." Done and done.
Galaxy Far, Far Away
While Toronto FC produced their best week since the heady days of mid-March, when they advanced to the semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League, the team they eliminated from the CCL, the LA Galaxy, continued to tumble from their lofty perch as MLS Cup 2011 champions.
HIGHLIGHTS: LA squander early lead
With Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan away on international duty, the Galaxy coughed up a 2-0 lead to San Jose Earthquakes last Wednesday – conceding a dramatic (and weakly defended) 94th-minute equalizer to Quakes striker Alan Gordon to fall 3-2 – and then surrendered a 1-0 lead at Houston Dynamo on Saturday. The Dynamo scored on an own-goal by Mike Magee and a 57th-minute header by Andre Hainault to win 2-1 and extend their unbeaten run to four games.
The Galaxy, on the other hand, have lost three straight, and are winless in seven. Clearly, something is not right in LA-LA Land.
Much the same was suggested of Galaxy star Donovan this week after he spoke to reporters about losing his "hunger" for the game.
United States head coach Jurgen Klinsmann may want to schedule one of these candid Donovan interviews before every national team game. In his first appearance for the USA since September 2011, Donovan uncorked a sensational game, scoring three goals, assisting on one, and chipping in on a fourth to lead the Americans in a 5-1 rout of Scotland.
It was a vintage display from the USA's all-time leading scorer, one that suggested rejuvenation more than burnout. The last-place Galaxy (3W-8L-2D) are certainly hoping he can bring that form back to his club side when the international break is over.
United They Stand
Donovan's former teammate Dwayne De Rosario is on a roll of his own at the moment. The D.C. attacker followed last week's Player of the Week performance with a game-winning assist on Saturday, finding Maicon Santos with a slick pass in the box to help United to a 3-2 victory over New England Revolution.
HIGHLIGHTS: Columbus hold off Chicago
The win spoiled a two-goal comeback by the Revs and sent D.C. to the top of the Eastern Conference standings with an 8W-4L-3D record.
Also heating up in the East are Columbus Crew, who rode some more gold-plated goalkeeping from Andy Gruenebaum to defeat Seattle Sounders FC 2-0 on Wednesday and Chicago Fire 2-1 on Saturday. Gruenebaum made six saves in both games, and the Crew's attackers made their chances count, scoring two goals from two shots on goal on Wednesday and two from five shots on Saturday.
Big Doldrums
While Philly lost to the previously winless TFC, and LA continued to struggle, an injury-wracked FC Dallas side suffered an undeserved defeat to Chicago followed by a hard-luck loss to Real Salt Lake to run their winless streak to eight games.
On Wednesday, FCD fell 2-1 after Fire winger Marco Pappa's put-back of a penalty was allowed to stand, even though the Guatemalan winger was several yards into the box when Sebastián Grazzini struck the spot kick.
WATCH: Borchers wins it for RSL
On Saturday night at Rio Tinto Stadium, Dallas lost 3-2 to Real Salt Lake after defender Nat Borchers struck a 93rd-minute goal to cap a five-goal second half and cancel Blas Pérez's 85th-minute equalizer. (The win extended first-place RSL's unbeaten streak to six.)
Colorado Rapids won a similar thriller at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, edging Montreal Impact 3-2 despite going down to 10 men in the 61st minute. Jaime Castrillón's 83rd-minute header won it for the Rapids.
Down, Up
After their surprising home loss to Columbus in midweek (it was the Crew's first win in seven games against Seattle, a 1W-3L-3D stretch), Sounders FC travelled to The Home Depot Center and drew sixth-place Chivas USA 1-1 to run their winless run to four games.
WATCH: Ángel goes horizontal vs. Red Bulls
Chivas, on the other hand, had a pretty good week. Their tie against Seattle followed an identical result at New York Red Bulls on Wednesday, giving The Goats consecutive draws against top-tier teams.
The Red Bulls match also brought Chivas striker Juan Pablo Ángel, the all-time leading scorer in New York history, back to Red Bull Arena for the first time since he left the club in 2010. Red Bulls fans greeted him with a rousing ovation and several massive banners of thanks. Naturally, he scored the Goats' goal in the game.
Chivas also moved to the top of the league's facial-hair table with their recent acquisition of Danny Califf and his "Gordon Lightfoot sideburns," as broadcaster Christian Miles called them. When the veteran defender suited up this week alongside midfielder Blair Gavin and his 1890s barbershop-quartet mustache – which, with all due respect to Ryan Cochrane and David Horst, is the most impressive soup-strainer in MLS history – well, a special kind of league history was made.
Breaking Even
Of course it wasn't all up or down this week: On Saturday, Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Portland Timbers tied 1-1 in the second installment of the 2012 Cascadia series, and on Sunday, San Jose broke even for the week with a 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City – who snapped a three-game losing streak with the win.

In ISV circles, there is a meme running about that Linux == RHEL*. So they code everything to that, and not to the LSB. Note: this is one thing that the Windows folks sorta kinda do right. There is a "spec" to some degree, and everyone can kinda sorta write to it. Then again, when you completely dominate something, you can dictate to users. We have a long standing IE problem with rendering forms in tables, everyone else can do it right, and the code checks out as w3c compliant ... oh, never mind, not worth trying to get IE to talk standards. Standards only work when all players follow them. They also need to be simple enough to follow. Making a standard impossible to follow helps no end user. -- Joseph Landman, Ph.D Founder and CEO Scalable Informatics LLC, email: landman at scalableinformatics.com web : http://www.scalableinformatics.com phone: +1 734 786 8423 fax : +1 734 786 8452 or +1 866 888 3112 cell : +1 734 612 4615

Not All Garcinia Cambogia Extracts Turn Out To Be A Scam!
When an exciting new diet product comes around, everyone gets all excited, and more frequently than not they end up not employing it properly or having unrealistic expectations. So, if anyone could have come here wondering just what Garcinia Cambogia, then I need to furnish you with some of the facts to sort it out unique diet product.
What makes garcinia cambogia and weight loss extract different from many weight loss supplements is that going barefoot doesn't contain any harsh stimulants. That means it won't leave you feeling jittery like some diet pills do. Studies have also shown HCA to be safe as there are no significant side end results.
It tricks the brain by making you think an individual fuller whenever your do not feel famished. This in turn prevents you from eating a whole lot which will in turn help you in reducing body excessive fat.
The two proprietary compounds which are in this product are called Hydroxagen Plus and HydroxyTea. As already mentioned, these ingredients will help speed up the natural metabolism of the body. The ingredients will also help to raise energy levels and burn more among the calories which enter shape.
You ought to first utilize some garcinia extract in conjunction with some chromium to understand the best possible results. That is definitely likely that will help you in managing your body blood glucose level. You know that our diets are deprived off the mineral chromium and we have a tendency obtain more weight this is certainly.
garcinia cambogia extract_Cambogia is applied mainly for a laxative to treat constipation. Merely now that has become fasionable for decline and also for managing overall nicely. For this reason, the Garcinia_Cambogia is utilised as difficulties . ingredient for diverse weight loss products.
Yerba Mate` & Guarana were studied extensively by one of our leading universities and their results were published inside the prestigious Journal of Human Nutrition in 2001. Their results were, interestingly enough, very very similar to the results that Linda (that's my wife) & Received when we took government. They found that after 45 days, men and women taking Yerba Mate` & Guarana lost an average of 11 pounds while those given a placebo lost in general 1 pound over exact same period of your time.
The Garcinia cambogia extract is a fat-burner as well as blast off fat located in your thighs, buttocks and belly. You make your body look slimmer with this effect. Apart from managing your weight, the Garcinia_Cambogia get the energy that you need for in order to be capable of handling tasks without trouble. The individuals who are dieting by no means be getting the correct quantity of miners and vitamins that have to have. Because of this, they easy feel tired and they can't focus of their tasks. If you achieve your weight loss goal, read a Garcinia Cambogia review.


text: I have a Schuberth C3 which has the drop down sun visor. Works great except I recently got new glasses with polarized lenses. Now when I put the visor down the view is definitely not as sharp as before, seems "cloudy", if you know what I mean. So I rarely use the visor now, which does not make me happy. Wondering if anyone else has noticed a similar scenario using polarized glasses and if there are any workarounds on this, short of getting my old lenses back. I don't know much about polarized lenses, I assume they are all pretty much the same, but maybe not. Thanks..

I'm prone to being bitten by blood-suckers. Mosquitos, gnats, midges, horseflies - you name it. I'm like an all-you-can-suck buffet.
The last couple of years, I've been bitten by a mystery insect. I've attached 4 photos of one I found yesterday. I normally see them clamped to a bit of me, sucking blood out (with an imagined noise something like someone trying to get the last drop of milk-shake from the bottom of a glass).
My location is Chester, NW England.
Its head & thorax, abdomen and legs look mosquitoesque. When it's at rest, it does the "sticking the back legs in the air" thing that mosquitos do. For all the marvels of an Early Warning System, it seemed to be remarkably unaware of an industrial strength fly-swat!
It doesn't *seem* to have any visible biting parts.
It has a striped body, striped legs, and mottled wings. The legs have "sticky out leg parts" on some of the joints. The antennae aren't feathered.
Its size is quite large. I didn't get a ruler, but end to end, and wingtip to wingtip, I'd estimate the size at 20-25mm.
It's the wings that are confusing me. Normally (AFAICT) mosquitos fold their wings back over their abdomen at rest. This thing sticks its wings out at 90 degrees to its body. They also flex. The odd thing with this one is that at rest, the wings had collapsed, but when it saw me, it then seemed to open its wings up (sort of like a fan - on the photos the wings have a thick leading and trailing edge which moved apart). This could be an optical illusion, and that it actually has 2 pairs of overlapping wings that it stores "together" until they're needed.
This particular one is brown, but I've been bitten by beige, dark grey and almost black ones.
When I'm bitten, it's a definite pinprick hole, not the cut of a horsefly. I get an immediate reaction to it, and if I don't start on Piriton immediately, and for a couple of days afterwards, in the past I've ended up with a hen's egg size lump on the affected area, and if I'm not careful, I get infections and skin/tissue necrosis (nice!). The site of the bite goes numb immediately, then gets pins-and-needles.
If someone can help me with this, I would really appreciate it.
From now on, I'm covering up with jungle stren
Hi Pete,
Not sure if this is going to be of help but your photo is of a moth. It's one of the plume moths (Pterophoridae). I can't quite make out its wing patterning but think it might be Amblyptilia acanthadactyla http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=1497
Absolutely spot on.
Like its relative, A. punctidactyla, the hindwing has two patches of black scales on its dorsum, which protrude when the rest of the hindwing is covered by the forewing.
That's what I saw - the front and rear wings separating, making it look like one extending wing.
Whoops. Maybe I shouldn't have squashed it. It just looks so much like the thing that attacks me when I'm outside.
Do you know of anything that looks like this i.e. mottled/striped abut 20mm long that's a blood sucker?
I think you may be describing the Banded Mosquito
I see them in S. Yorks, so it is likely they are also in Cheshire.
Certainly looks like it!
I thought it was larger than that - perhaps they just look larger when attached to me!
Thanks again.
Yes, it fits everything you wrote - and they are quite big for mossies. I was seriously impressed the first time I saw one.
Can't be nice having your reaction to them; my reaction is just a small itchy lunp - got one now.
Neat Deat is what I used to use in tropical malarial regions.
But I got the correct answer not emg.

It looks like Pusha T and Lil Wayne have no interest in ending their war-of-words. The brazen Clipse member has released a video for "Exodus 23:1," the diss track that recently reignited the beef. Meanwhile, Drake and Lil wayne have responded in kind.
The Sam Rogers-directed clip is straight and to the point, showing Pusha T and his Re-Up Gang in attack and hustle mode on the streets. There are gritty images of random drug dealing and sneering lines directed at Young Money matinee rhyme idol Drake as well as Wayne ("Them n****s ain't dying for you…").
The "Exodus 23:1" video is just the latest jab from Pusha T, who is signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music. Last week, the Virginia MC dropped a song that seemingly addressed Drake's position a s a signee to Wayne's record company via Baby's Cash Money Records.
"Contract all f***ed up/ I guess that means you all f***ed up/ You signed to one n**** that's signed to another n****/ signed to three n****s, now that's bad luck."
The track quickly got the attention of Wayne who took to Twitter proclaiming to his more than 6 million followers, "F*** pusha t and anybody that love em." He then went on to record his own diss reply, "Goulish," which received a tepid response.
On Friday (May 25), Drake added a few words to the fracas during his D.C. leg of the Club Paradise tour. "If you was doing 16s when I was 16 and your s*** still flopped and you switched teams don't talk to me my n****."
The war between Pusha T and Lil Wayne is nothing new to rap fans. It first heated up when Pusha addressed accusations of style-stealing on the Clipse' 20008 mixtape Re-Up Gamg: We Got It for Cheap Vol 3. While they later decided to live and let live, Pusha's "Exodus 23:1" added fuel to a fire that has apparently never stopped burning.
Stay tuned for more on this escalating hip-hop feud. In the meantime, watch Pusha's video for "Exodus 23:1" and listen to Wayne's response on "Goulish." —Keith Murphy, CBS Local

The Royal Baby Finally Has a Name
Attention, peasants of earth: Prince William and Kate Middleton's baby hath now been blessed with a name of tradition and bore: George Alexander Louis.
So we definitely lost in the betting pool with our Prince George Michael guess. On the plus side, we no longer have to call him the Royal Baby.
The news was confirmed on Twitter (which is apparently up to royal snuff these days):
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to announce that they have named their son George Alexander Louis.
— Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) July 24, 2013
The baby will be known as His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge.
— Clarence House (@ClarenceHouse) July 24, 2013
This comes hot on the heels of the infant being revealed to the world yesterday (although without the pomp and circumstance some felt he deserved).
When the kid finally sits on the throne (and the way Queen Elizabeth is hanging around, we'll probably all be dead by then), he will be the seventh George to do so — the last being George VI, his great-great-grandfather. Aka the Queen's dad. Aka that guy Colin Firth won an Oscar for playing in 'The King's Speech.'

The longest losing streak in the history of women's basketball at Arkansas Tech became history Thursday night.
The Golden Suns outscored Christain Brothers 13-3 over the final four minutes of the game and ended their eight-game skid with a 58-49 victory over the Lady Buccaneers in Gulf South Conference action at Tucker Coliseum.
Ginger Murphy's short jumper to beat the 30-second shot clock put Tech (6-11, 1-3) ahead to stay with 3:37 remaining. The Suns' defense took care of the rest, not allowing CBU (9-3, 1-2) a field goal the rest of the way en route to its 11th win in as many games at home against the Lady Bucs.
"Defense has been our key in the last couple of games," Tech coach Carin Pinion-McNabb said. "We've gone back to stopping people on the defensive end, and we did a much better job of keeping them off the offensive boards.
"We needed a little positive to happen, and we had some players step up when we needed it. We've been in the games during this skid, but we found ways to lose instead of finding ways to win. I thought our seniors really stepped things up tonight. Alisa Wright hit some key shots, Hallie Morris was getting her the ball and Sarah McClure handled the ball well."
Wright, who scored 10 of her 12 points ih the second half, followed with a bucket to give the Suns their first lead of more than two points in the second half. Charle Moore's two free throws pulled CBU within one again, but the Lady Buccaneers' only other scoring came on a Jackie Moore free throw with 33.9 seconds remaining.
By that time, Tech had already assumed control. Wright scored again, then two free throws apiece by Murphy and Sarah McClure and extended the Suns' lead to 55-48 with 47 seconds remaining. Tech then added two free throws by Morris to complete the scoring.
"I told our girls in the final four minutes that this was our home floor," Pinion-McNabb said. "We needed to take some pride and take care of business here and not give up a basketball game. Our girls stepped up and didn't commit a turnover in the last four minutes.
"We also did a good job at the free-throw line, which has been another Achilles heel for us this season. Hopefully, this is what we need to get us going and get some confidence the rest of the way."
Tech had its shooting touch early in the game, hitting seven straight shots at one time. That included an 8-0 spurt, with Hallie Morris and Robin Chastain each hitting a pair of buckets, that gave the Golden Suns a 14-6 lead at the 12:23 mark.
Tech maintained that lead until Christian Brothers put together nine unanswered points, with a bucket by Chereny Woodward giving the Lady Bucs a 22-20 cushion with 4:48 left in the first half. The Suns answered and regained a 26-24 lead after free throws by Katrina Crawford and Sarah McClure, only to have CBU pick up back-to-back buckets by Ashley Besinger for a 28-26 lead at intermission.
Neither team, however, led by more than two points in the second half until the Lady Bucs picked up buckets by Mary Shea Hackett and Michelle Steele made it a 36-32 game with 11:14 remaining. Tech, however, countered with a bucket by Chastain and four points by Wright for its first lead of the second half.
Both teams spent the next four minutes trading point for points, causing four tie scores in the process. After Sarah Hart two free throws and gave the Suns a 45-43 lead, Ashley Smith hit a three-point play with 4:03 and gave CBU its final lead of the game.
Chastain finished with 14 points to lead Tech, with Morris adding 11 and a team-high eight rebounds. Charle Moore led CBU with 12 points, followed by Smith with 10.
The Suns return to action Monday night as they travel to Arkadelphia and take on Ouachita Baptist University.
Christian Brothers (49): Woodard 4-11 0-1 8; Smith 3-12 3-3 10; C. Moore 4-13 4-7 12; Gross 0-0 0-0 0; J. Moore 2-8 5-6 9; Hackett 1-1 0-0 2; Steeler 1-1 0-1 2; Kirkland 0-3 0-0 0; Besinger 2-2 0-0 4; Anderson 1-2 0-0 2. Totals: 18-53 12-18 49.
Arkansas Tech (58): McCormick 2-6 0-1 4; Morris 4-8 2-2 11; McClure 0-1 5-6 5; Murphy 3-3 2-2 8; Hart 0-0 2-2 2; Williams 0-0 0-0 0; Eickhoff 0-1 0-0 0; Crawford 0-0 2-2 2; Wright 5-8 2-2 12; Chastain 6-11 2-6 14. Totals: 20-38 17-23 58.
Halftime - Christian Brothers 28, Arkansas Tech 26. Three-point shooting - Christian Brothers 1-6 (Smith 1-2, Woodward 0-1, C. Moore 0-1, J. Moore 0-1, Kirkland 0-1), Arkansas Tech 1-3 (Morris 1-3). Rebounds - Christian Brothers 25 (Smith 8), Arkansas Tech 35 (Morris 8, Chastain 7, Murphy 6, Wright 5). Assists - Christian Brothers 6 (Gross 2), Arkansas Tech 11 (McClure 4, McCormick 3). Total fouls - Christian Brothers 19, Arkansas Tech 14. Fouled out - None.

Ok so it wouldn't matter where it came from then .........so rarely needed as in I don't really have to hook it up? I seen on the package it said optional but was worried it may mess something up if I didn't use it ?
The SI, starter-interrupt, isolates the house loads from the main cranking during starting. This is a feature to prevent voltage sage to sensitive electronic equipment like a chart plotter, etc. In most cases, we find that due the stereo load, the house battery is already down below the voltage threshold and the ACR is already open.
I originally installed the SI circuit thinking it was a great idea. What I found out is that all of the prongs on the back of the key switch are hot when the boat is on, not just when it's cranking. So, it's best not to use this as your SI circuit as it won't operate properly, and the ACR won't charge your house battery, only the starter, as it thinks it's supposed to constantly isolate the starter battery. Found this out after the house batt died several times.
I don't think it's necessary, and I have just removed the fuse from the circuit, so it's totally out of play now. I'd just not even worry about it. The best way to wire it though, if you want it, is to hook it to the starter, as it'll only see voltage when starting, which is how this circuit was designed.2015 Supra SC400

It could be the oddest creature on the road since the Volkswagen Thing.
"Wow, that's, uh, kinda weird. What the heck is it?" asked a Sunrise, Fla., restaurant patron after I pulled up.
That, sir, is the 2012 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet.
"Cool. I like it," he decided after a moment's analysis.
The Thing, by the way, was VW's boxy, military/government vehicle that made its way into public use between 1969 and 1980. In Germany, it was known as the Kubelwagen, which means "bucket car."
That should give you a clue of how offbeat the CrossCabriolet looks.
With the cloth, power-operated roof down, the CrossCab looks like anything but the midsize SUV that it is. It's an odd-looking thing, with a high belt line that rises as it heads rearward.
And be forewarned – that high beltline requires quite the arm stretch at the drive-thru ATM. The wife even had to open the door. At 6-foot-1, I found it manageable, but this model is likely to be more popular with women. Last time I checked, most of the ladies are not 6-foot-1.
The fun begins when you put the top down, and it comes down with the flick of a switch. No levers, no fuss. The wind is not obnoxious – which is good, because a wind deflector is not available. My Phillies cap never left my head.
But, as is common with convertibles, there is some extra shake in the body, noticeable in the vibrating reflections in the rear and side mirrors.
Otherwise, the ride is much like the standard Murano, which is to say it is acceptable but not quite approaching exciting.
Steering is decently weighted, but the CrossCab barrels around corners like a baseball catcher rounding first base. There is lots of lean and little road grip.
The CrossCab is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 that puts out 265 horses and 248 pound-feet of pulling power. Zero-to-60 has been clocked at 8.2 seconds, which is close to the regular Murano.
It is mated to a continuously variable transmission, or CVT, of which I am never a big fan. Still, this one offered smooth acceleration.
On the open road, passing the slower guys was no problem as mid-range torque is more than adequate.
Mileage is EPA-rated at 17 mpg city, 22 on the highway, which is competitive. But know that premium fuel is recommended for this topless wonder.
With the top up, by the way, expect more wind noise. That typically comes with the ragtops. Visibility from within is pretty good for a convertible but somewhat compromised by high rear headrests.
Just about everything else inside the CrossCab you are going to love. Seats are comfortable and roomy – even in the back, a place in convertibles that's often best avoided. My passengers said they were swimming in hip and leg room.
Big doors swing open wide, making it easy to get back there, too, providing you're not in too tight a parking space.
The trunk is spacious; you can get a couple of suitcases back there even with the top down.
Finally, the voice-activated navigation and sound system are superb. The 3-D graphics when in town makes it easy to find your way, even showing primary buildings and landmarks. And a seven-speaker Bose audio with the LE trim level sounds as good as upgraded systems in higher-priced cars.
The CrossCab comes in only one trim level, the LE, but it's well-loaded. Of course, that also means you're forced to pay top dollar among the Murano line. It gets leather and heated seats, seven-speaker Bose sound system and rearview camera. The nav, once standard, is available for 2012 as a standalone option.
Standard safety features include ABS, pop-up roll bars, traction and stability control, front seat side air bags and door-mounted side curtain air bags.
OK, the CrossCabriolet isn't as weird as VW's Thing. But it's weird enough that this thing won't please everyone. Maybe just those who like to think outside the box, er, bucket.
