Part of the site was filled in and leveled in 1962, and two additional properties were purchased from private owners in 1966–1967. A baseball field was added in 1967, and the upper terraces were developed in 1969–1970. Glendale–La Loma Park was dedicated at a public ceremony held on November 1, 1969. In 1974, the park was awarded the National Merit Design Award by the Professional Awards Program of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

CARSON, Calif. -- Mike Magee was the hero as the LA Galaxy crushed the Chicago Fire 4-0 in their MLS regular season opener, but Brazilian defender Leonardo earned a milestone of his own as he made his first MLS appearance since undergoing a serious knee injury in April of 2011.
Leonardo discusses his first start in nearly two years below...
(On how gratifying to be on the field again...)
LEONARDO: "A lot of things were going through my head. Not just today, but even yesterday I was thinking about today. The fact that yes, it was almost two years ago and yes, this very exact team in Chicago when I got injured. And all the training sessions, games and games leading up to this moment I was thinking about everything. And I leave with a good feeling, that I'm ready not just for this game but the season and many more games."
(On if he ever thought about quitting and not being able to play again...)
LEOANRDO: "None. I had my faith in God and with that it was all there. I never lost confidence, I never lost my faith in God. And I just kept working hard."
(On how comfortable he felt today...)
LEOANRDO: I felt good. Like I told you guys at the beginning of the preseason, I wasn't 100 percent, but I had five games to get in shape. Right now I'm hitting my stride and I'm ready for the season.
(On whether he is past the point of thinking about the knee...)
LEONARDO: No, I don't think about my knee. I think more about the muscle mass on my knee and giving it enough rest, which I would normally do. I don't think about the knee being strong enough or not being strong enough.
(On if he felt like he could 90 minutes today...)
LEONARDO: "Yeah, I thought I could play 90 minutes. Yes, it was a time of day where it's really hot, so that sort of made me level myself a little more, not play very crazy and not make crazy runs. And that would lead to cramps or anything like that. But in the end I was confident in myself going 90 minutes."

text: It was a chilly 32 degrees this morning when I rode from OKC to Tulsa for my R1200RT's 24, 000 mile service. She also turned 7 months old today. As usual, excellent service, hot coffee, and some good conversation while I waited. It was a much nicer ride home but not too bad this morning with my heated seat, grips, and jacket liner. They've got a nice inventory in stock including the new dark red 1600 GTL.

The second-generation Coca-Cola Interactive Vender incorporates the same screen layout and functionality as the prototype, but officials described refinements to its inner workings as contributing to "a more robust, reliable and scalable solution." Coca-Cola launched its pilot test a year ago at Simon Property Group malls in the Southeast, and in other high-traffic public venues nationwide. The test machines have performed strongly and generated excitement by transforming the vending experience "from a functional transaction to a memorable interaction," reported Coca-Cola Refreshments vice-president of industry communications Ira Gleser.
Coca-Cola Refreshments, which encompasses the vending operations of recently acquired Coca-Cola Enterprises, is currently swapping out the initial test machines and replacing them with the second-generation model, which incorporates enhancements suggested by the first part of the trial.
It is also deploying additional machines into new test sites. The beta test will primarily target venues where younger consumers gather, since the pilot study identified them as the demographic most attracted to interactive technology. Coca-Cola will evaluate its future deployment strategies based on the results, Gleser explained.
The high-tech machine, developed by Coca-Cola, Samsung and interactive marketing agency Sapient, is based on the chassis of Royal Vendors' Model 804 and fitted with a 46" LCD touchscreen and a sophisticated controller providing multimedia functionality. Flash technology, motion graphics, high-definition video messaging and Bluetooth short-range wireless capability can support a broad spectrum of patron-pleasing features such as "click-through" promotions that allow consumers to interact with Coca-Cola brands and learn about location-specific promotions.
The machine's touchscreen panel is arranged into three media zones. A customizable dynamic display for advertising and related video content is at the top; beneath it is the selection zone, where consumers can scroll through a graphic product display of the machine's selections, and "spin" any bottle icon 360º to review nutritional information. At the bottom is an "interactive" application zone from which the consumer can "click through" to display a promotional message (and many other video programs) in the advertising zone at the top. Content for all three zones is updated remotely.
The state-of-the-art Coke vender provides a platform for applications ranging from games patrons can play on the machine's screen to mobile phone ringtone and "wallpaper" downloads, digital coupons and social networking. One such example, demonstrated at the NAMA OneShow, was a game that consumers activate by touching the "Memory Match" button in the machine's application zone. Filling the entire screen, the game challenges the patron to match pairs of Coca-Cola brand logos -- like the classic card game "Concentration" -- before time runs out.
Coca-Cola also plans to incorporate some of its high-profile marketing partnerships into the messaging for the Interactive Vender, Gleser told VT.
The company also took the wraps off a new design for the solid-front Royal Vendors model 804 at the NAMA OneShow. It was created jointly by the Coca-Cola North America design team and Los Angeles-based strategic design consultancy BMW DesignWorks as part of a "3D Visual Identity System" intended to unify Coca-Cola's brands and look across all of its equipment. Carrying out this strategy, the striking red three-dimensional thermoformed front conveys the three core equities of the Coca-Cola brand: the classic contour bottle, its signature white ribbon, and its "uplifting and positive" values. It will come standard on all new Royal Vendors 804 Coke machines, and also is available as a retrofit for older equipment.
The industry also got its first look at Coca-Cola's Freestyle fountain beverage dispenser, which launched in 2010 and now is in beta test in more than 400 foodservice sites across 25 U.S. markets.
The touchscreen-operated fountain, which has the same footprint as most traditional six- or eight-valve syrup dispensers, enables consumers to select from more than 100 still and carbonated beverages. It creates branded drinks and unique variations by blending flavor concentrates with water and sweetener on demand inside each cup as it's dispensed. The flavor cartridges are stored in the dispenser's cabinet.
Early results from the Freestyle pilot test show an increase in beverage servings, total transactions and total sales in sites that traded their traditional syrup fountains for the Freestyle machine, according to officials. Based on that success, the company is expanding the test to additional sites throughout 2011.
The Freestyle fountain dispenser is also currently in test with select Coca-Cola full-line vending operator customers. Coca-Cola said their feedback will help the company evaluate how that industry segment can take advantage of the new machine. It is currently not equipped with a payment system.
Cola-Cola's online vending resource is at cokesolutions.com; a section specifically devoted to full-line vending operators is available by clicking on the FLO tab.
photo | NEW AND IMPROVED: Coca-Cola's Ira Gleser (l.), vice-president of industry communications, and Tom Barlow, vice-president of vending/wholesale North America, team up to showcase beverage giant's equipment innovations at OneShow. In the spotlight is Royal Vendors Model 804 closed-front drink machine with striking new three-dimensional thermoformed panel, which will come standard on all new equipment. Glassfronts, shown here also, will feature new left-side panel contours.

Featuring Guiliana Alexis and Preston Parker
The hot and horny Guiliana was randomly cruising the internet
for some good porn. While typing away and searching, Guiliana was
shocked by a page that came up. It appeared her dad's friend, Preston,
used to be in porn. She called a friend to share her finding when a
knock came from the door. It was Preston. What's an overwhelmed, horny
teenager to do? It didn't take much for this sexy bronze-skinned beauty
with a plump juicy ass and firm succulent tits to coerce Preston. He
grabbed that ass and just started pounding away. He gave her what she
wanted, as the two sucked and stroked in a multitude of positions. For
the coup-de-gras, Preston made sure she got the real porn star
experience, as he drenched her in cum minutes before her dad came home.
Amazing Hottie
Featuring Alice March and Juan Largo
Alice was waiting to get picked up by her brother, but he was
busy, so he sent his buddy to Juan pick her up. After the ride back, as
he was dropping her off, Alice explained she'd always had a crush on
him and asked him to come inside with her. He told her he had to pick up
his girlfriend, and that they were fighting because he thought she was
cheating on him. Alice told him they could get back at her while she was
rubbing his cock. She told Juan that her parents were out of town, and
that she'd just turned eighteen. Soon after, Alice was sucking his cock
in the car. They went inside, and she got her pussy munched on. Then
Alice sucked his dick some more. Finally, she got her pussy pounded and
got man juice all over her sweet round ass.
Lovely Lara
Featuring Lara Brookes and Bruce Venture
Lara was getting her tutoring like she does every Saturday.
But for the first time ever, she was left home alone with her tutor.
Lara couldn't help noticing that every time Bruce was lecturing her, he
had a raging hard-on. Today she finally got to react on her impulses. As
the study lesson ended, Lara reached over and grabbed Bruce by the
cock. She got a closer look when she sucked his dick on the bed. Then
Lara pulled her panties to the side to reveal her tight, pink,
18-year-old pussy. Bruce couldn't resist anymore, so he gave Lara a
lesson like no other. As the clothes come off her supple, young body was
revealed and all reservations were discarded, as Bruce pounded that
pussy hard. Lara even got some extra credit, as she took his load to the
Picture Perfect
Featuring Amanda Tate and Tyler Steel
Amanda was sitting home alone watching TV in a skimpy outfit
that showed off her young slender body perfectly. She heard the
doorbell, and to her surprise, it was her sister's boyfriend. Amanda
texted her sister, who told her to have him come back later, but Amanda
had other plans. Before she left Tyler downstairs to wait, Amanda showed
off her outfit while flirting and hinting for him to come to her
bedroom. Tyler picked up on the cues and soon was in her room. There
Amanda revealed her true intentions along with her young supple breasts
and tight 18-year-old pussy. Tyler took full advantage of this
opportunity and stroked that pussy good. His explosion on her face made
him think he might have picked the wrong sister.
Lovely Lavay
Featuring Nikki Lavay and Tyler Steel
Nikki and Tyler met up at the park. She explained that her
dad grounded her, and she wasn't supposed to be out. Nikki said her dad
wasn't home, and they could come back to her place to fuck. Tyler said
no at first, but after squeezing her juicy ass, he couldn't resist. Once
they got back to her place, it wasn't long until he pulled up her dress
and revealed that round rump in all its glory. Nikki got her pussy
munched on and she deep throated his dick. She rode that cock, as her
luscious ass bounced around. Nikki got her pussy pounded and got man
juice all over her pretty face. Then they heard a noise outside, and it
was her dad pulling up to the drive way.
Something Sweet
Featuring Zoey Paige and Jmac
Zoey had a huge fallout with her mom over her grades last
semester in college. She couldn't take the arguing and fussing anymore,
so she packed a couple bags and left. It was a spur of the moment
reaction, and Zoey immediately realized she really didn't have a place
to go, but then she remembered her buddy JMac. He was renting a house
with a couple of his frat boys, and Zoey remembered they had a spare
room. Plus she always had a crush on him and figured she could take this
opportunity to get closer to him. After Zoey arrived, JMac came around
to her in the guest room, and she explained her dilemma to him. There
was an instant attraction, and she didn't waste any time putting the
moves on him. JMac didn't really catch on right away, but eventually,
Zoey's actions were unmistakable. And once he made sure she was 18, he
was more than willing to show her a good time.
Sexy Show
Featuring Aurora Monroe and Ramon Nomar
Ramon stopped over to return some of his ex-girlfriend's
things. Aurora, his ex's little sister, greeted him at the door. Aurora
was always hot for Ramon and now it appeared that her chance was at
hand. Ramon resisted at first, but was no match for this eager and horny
18-year-old. She took his clothes off and started sucking his cock in
the foyer. Being a generous man, and seeing a young girl in need, Ramon
gave her what she wanted. Aurora fucked and sucked like a champ. Ramon
tried to keep up, but her tight, supple body proved too much. We could
see this teen knew what she wanted, as she begged for a load in her face
and licked the cock clean afterward.
Pussy Pumper
Featuring Giselle Mari and Mick Blue
Mick came by his friends house to drop off a jacket. His
buddy wasn't home, but his little sister, Giselle, was. She took the
jacket and then told Mick that her brother left something there for him
downstairs. Once they got to her bedroom, Giselle told him she lied, and
that she just wanted to get him to her room. He told her that she was
his friends younger sister, and he didn't want to fool around with her,
but after she told him she would give him the best blowjob he's ever
had, he couldn't resist. Giselle sucked that dick very nicely and then
spread her legs open to get her pussy pounded. She got her pussy drilled
and even got man juice all over her pretty face, like she asked for.
Kinky Kylee
Featuring Kylee and Jmac
Kylee was very appreciative of her driving lessons. She
wanted to show how grateful she was by undressing and revealing that
luscious body. She stuck her juicy ass up in the air and shook it
around. She sucked and fucked that cock. She rode that cock as her juicy
ass bounced around. She got her pussy rammed and got man juice all over
her pretty face.
Happy Dillion
Featuring Dillion Harper and Xander Corvus
Dillion had the hots for her piano teacher for a very long
time and never had the chance to make a go at him until that one fateful
day when her father had to go away for business and her stepmother
decided to tag along. Her parents told her she was old enough and
responsible enough to make sure she stuck to a routine and get all of
her schoolwork done and keep up with her extracurricular activities. She
did just that but with a just a bit more extra when it came time for
her piano lesson. She flirted and dropped as many hints as possible
until she just had to cut to the chase and grab her piano teacher by his
cock. He was reluctant at first, but how long could a young guy paying
his way through college, teaching piano to bratty rich kids hold out?
Once he found out they were alone in the mansion he decided to take a
nibble off the young, forbidden fruit.
Juicy Rose
Featuring Stephanie Rose and Bruno Dickenz
Stephanie's parents left her home alone and she is getting
bored. She calls up her friend Bruno hoping he will come over to help
her kill some time. He is on his way to the gym, so Stephanie tells him
that there are other ways to work out that she will show him if he
stops over. Bruno gets the hint and quickly drives to her place.
Seeing her in short shorts and a loose fitting top gets him ready for
action. She plays coy and acts like she isn't super horny as she rests
her hands on Bruno's lap. Bruno isn't having this, so he cuts the small
talk and drops his shorts. Stephanie knows how to handle a cock in her
mouth and soon after she is naked riding Bruno. We see her perky tits
and tight, young pussy get pounded as Bruno puts Stephanie's body to the
test. Her incredibly cute, plump ass provides the perfect place to get
splattered in cum as Bruno finishes his cardio workout.
Horny Hailey
Featuring Hailey Holiday and Erik Everhard
Hailey finally got a chance to bring her older sisters
boyfriend back to her bedroom. It was not long until she was spread out
on the bed getting her pussy munched on. She sucked and fucked that
cock. She rode that dick as her juicy tits bounced around. She got her
pussy pounded and got man juice all over her face and mouth. She
swallowed it all up.

Data fabrication and falsification pose a major problem in academic research, especially for projects funded by government agencies. Large fines and moratoria for researchers await those individuals and institutions caught cheating. The extent to which this problem also occurs in the amorphous world of big data is difficult to assess, but worth evaluating given the embarrassments in academia and the likelihood that motivations to cheat are universal.
Universities are increasingly cognizant of the problem and their compliance offices are taking aggressive steps to demonstrate to funding agencies that they are vigilant in handling the problem proactively.
At the University of Central Florida, in response to a request from senior management for a seminar on data fabrication and falsification, I developed a two-hour module addressing scientific misconduct and compensatory measures. Graduate students are required to attend the seminar to be officially admitted to Ph.D. candidacy.
[ Big data is not as daunting as you think. Read Microsoft Goes After 3 Big Data Myths. ]
Although I suspect InformationWeek readers are better informed than our Ph.D. students about data fabrication and falsification scandals, I thought I'd share some of the preliminary conclusions from my seminar on academia's dealings with data misconduct.
Here are some of the most egregious cases I came across. We'll start with five all-star perps, researchers who have made an embarrassing name for themselves by falsifying or misrepresenting data. Then we'll move on to five types of big-data people or scenarios that should make you suspicious enough to do some additional digging.
1. Eric "Massage Muscles not Data" Poehlman.
This University of Vermont kinesiologist was the first researcher to earn a federal prison term -- 366 days -- owing to extensive data fabrications. If the data did not support his hypothesis, he changed it to suit his purposes. Credit should be given to his graduate student/technician Walter deNiro, who had the courage and fortitude to question the honesty of his supervisor's analyses. Poehlman cited the need to fund his lab as motivation for tampering with the data to keep the funding flowing.
2. Yoshitaka "Retracto" Fujii.
Fujii, an anethesiologist at Toho University, likely holds the all-time record of retractions of papers with 172 found to be bogus by an expert panel and thus in various stages of retraction. The panel found that 126 of his randomized controlled studies -- double blind, no less -- "were totally fabricated." Some of his co-authors were in fact unaware that they were even co-authors because he forged their signatures.
3. Dipak "Sommelier" Das.
Das, a researcher at the Cardiovascular Research Center at the University of Connecticut, avoided detection for many years because the results of his studies – a glass of red wine per day is good for health -- was so comforting. Who wanted to overturn this result? He eventually was caught tinkering with Western blots, a type of figure for identifying proteins. Das unsuccessfully tried to transfer the blame to his students, one of whom admitted that he changed a figure the way Das wanted him to.
4. Diederik "Media Dude" Stapel.
This Tilburg University researcher studied human phenomena of great topical interest -- bias and stereotypes -- leading to numerous interviews with the mainstream media regarding his findings. Unfortunately, as the sole proprietor of his data, much of it faked from his office, it took years before his falsehoods were discovered.
5. Eric "Not So" Smart.
For at least 10 years, Smart falsified data in grant proposals and publications in his areas, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. A key problem area was again Western blots, and he also reported results on genetically engineered mice – "knockout" mice -- that did not exist. Some of these publications garnered over one hundred citations and he drew funding to the University of Kentucky to the tune of $8 million. Smart resigned from the university and evidently works now as a science teacher in the Lexington area.
These are just five of the bad actors among many possible world-class data fabricators or manipulators we might not know about. The Department of Health and Human Services maintains a list that currently has 43 individuals with active administrative actions against them, a data falsification wall of shame if you will. Publicizing the guilty parties, their crimes and the corresponding penalties is in stark contrast to the old days of handling data fraud cases internally and quietly -- and ineffectively.

In the first year of cultivation, Buddha Amitabha is right before our eyes;

by the time the third year rolls around, if someone inquires about Him or requests recitation [at a funeral, for example], payment is required before a few words are spoken or a few verses recited.

Some people just don't know when to go home after the party is over. Joe Walsh is one of them…
The Huffington Post
Making good on his threat promise that he's not going away, ex-Congressman Joe Walsh reared his head Friday morning to blast the first lady for traveling to her hometown of Chicago to attend slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton's funeral.
In a series of tweets first reported by DNAinfo Chicago, Walsh ripped Michelle Obama's attendance at the funeral of the teen-aged inaugural performer as "political."
"Heartbroken" Michelle Obama attending funeral of Hadiya Pendleton. I guess the other 553 murder victims didn't break her heart. (1/2)
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) February 8, 2013
Most of the 553 Chicago murder victims in 2012 & 2013 were young black males. Is she attending this funeral to make a political point? (2/2)
— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) February 8, 2013
News of Pendleton's Jan. 29 shooting death struck a chord nationwide, prompting outrage over the honor student's senseless slaying, gun control and the epidemic of shooting violence in Chicago.
After the King College Prep student was shot by a still at-large perp while standing under a park canopy to escape the rain, a petition was started urging President Obama to attend the teen's funeral.
Thursday, a White House official said Michelle Obama would attend the funeral, along with senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will also attend the funeral.
"As a mother and Chicagoan, the first lady was heartbroken to learn of the tragic lossof Hadiya Pendleton due to senseless gun violence," Kristina Schake, Michelle Obama communications director, told the Tribune Thursday.
According to WGN, a Friday visitation for Pendleton will be held at Calahan Funeral Home, 7030 S. Halsted St., from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. The wake and funeral follow on Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. at the Greater Harvest Baptist Church at 5141 S. State St.
Walsh's criticism of the first lady attending the Pendleton service is not the first time the Tea Party favorite has lashed out on the topic of Chicago violence following a headline-grabbing tragedy. Last spring, after the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin inspired Walsh's then-congressional colleague Bobby Rush to don a hoodie on the House floor, Walsh said he hoped Rush would "be as outraged with all of the black on black crime going on in the city of Chicago weekend after weekend" as he was with Martin's death.

Although questions remain about its final shape, a broad immigration reform proposal that permits eventual U.S. citizenship would be welcomed by a large share of illegal immigrants in Marion County and elsewhere, advocates for immigrants say.
Although questions remain about its final shape, a broad immigration reform proposal that permits eventual U.S. citizenship would be welcomed by a large share of illegal immigrants in Marion County and elsewhere, advocates for immigrants say.
Some undocumented workers might resist taking that step, advocates add, wary they could not really trust the government to honor its pledge or being unwilling or unable to surmount the bureaucratic red tape.
Still, most of those folks would most likely seize the opportunity to keep families together, avoid the fear of deportation, or more fully join American society.
"They've been hiding in the shadows. They've been oppressed. They've been victimized. They feel their dignity has been taken away. So long as they know they can trust the system, this is something they've looked forward to," said Osas Iyamu, an Ocala lawyer who specializes in immigration law.
Last Tuesday, President Barack Obama proposed a plan that allows the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. to seek citizenship, provided they take certain steps.
Those include passing national security and criminal background checks, paying their taxes and a penalty, taking a place in line behind those already seeking to enter the country legally and learning English before earning citizenship.
The president also intends to beef up border security, get tough with employers who hire illegal immigrants, including mandating their use of the E-verify system, and easing bureaucratic barriers for legal immigration.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, of Florida, is leading the Senate counter to the president's plan, which was introduced the day before Obama's announcement.
Supported by seven other senators so far, including Arizona Republican John McCain, it encompasses many of the same principles as Obama's program but puts greater emphasis on securing borders before allowing illegal immigrants to earn green cards and improving the guest-worker initiative.
Conservatives were expected to bash Obama and his plan, since the president does little that they like. But some commentators and politicians on the right have also lashed out at Rubio, who heretofore has been a crowd-pleaser in conservative circles.
Ann Coulter, writing at the conservative website Human Events, labeled Rubio's push as simple amnesty for those here illegally and further dubbed it as "a wolf in wolf's clothing."
Rich Lowry, editor of the conservative publication National Review, proclaimed Rubio's plan a "scam," while columnist Pat Buchanan also wrote that it was amnesty and accused Rubio and the other Republicans of "waving their white flags" on the "greatest victory for mass lawbreaking in U.S. history."
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., told talk radio host Laura Ingraham that Rubio was "amazingly naive" and "nuts" for his immigration proposal, adding that it was "the same old formula that we've dealt with before" — a reference to the 1986 federal law that gave millions of illegal immigrants amnesty in exchange for tougher border security that, many assert, never materialized.
Yet in Florida, which, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, is home to as many as 664,000 illegal immigrants, the third-highest total in the country behind California and Texas, some activists believe Obama and the senators are trying to fix a system that sorely needs repair — to the benefit of hard-working, family-oriented people who come to the U.S. for the same reason immigrants always have — a better life.
Much, the immigrant advocates say, depends on the details of the final plan.
But, at this juncture, they believe illegal immigrants would embrace a chance to move toward U.S. citizenship.
Susana Barciela, policy director for the Americans for Immigrant Justice, a nonprofit law firm in Miami, said history shows illegal immigrants would want that.
Because of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, she said, the 3 million illegal immigrants granted legal status at that time went on to get better jobs, make more money and pay more taxes.
More recently, Barciela noted, people flocked to Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals initiative even though it did not contain a way to citizenship.
The program, open to children who were brought here illegally by their immigrant parents, was popular despite its $465 fee, requirement for fingerprints and pile of red tape, because it reduced the fear of deportation, she said.
The same would happen under the newest plan.
"Being in the U.S. legally is one of the biggest benefits anyone can get," Barciela said. "They are always vulnerable to being deported, and I'm sure many will want to come forward because it will be a benefit to them and their families."
Critics, however, have begun a counterattack on two fronts.
First, they claim it is unfair to those immigrants who have played by the existing rules and waited patiently for visas, sometimes for as long as 20 years. At best, illegal immigrants should be put at the end of that line.
Iyamu, the immigration lawyer from Ocala, argues that while such a notion seems fair on the surface, it only underscores how broken the current system is. And her hope is that aspect can be fixed simultaneously with the plan to bring the 11 million illegal immigrants out of the shadows.
A second criticism launched at the new proposal is that it would set off a rush of illegal immigration to America.
Advocates for immigrants do not believe that is the case. They trust that the border-security provisions will take hold and will build on existing measures.
Richard Logue, program director for Immigration and Refugee Services with the Orlando-based Catholic Charities of Central Florida, said immigrants almost universally would be motivated by the opportunity to have legal residence in the place where they have lived for many years.
But, he added, allowing those already here to stay would not increase undocumented migration.
Rather the "pull factor" would be diminished through an effective national employment verification system, he said.
"Reform is not just about the legalization of several million people," Logue said.
"The root causes of migration have to be addressed as well. People come here to work; work that is not readily available to them in their home countries. Addressing the lack of development in sending countries also needs to be examined in order to seek long-term solutions so people will not feel the need to migrate."
Moreover, some advocates do not believe there would be employer backlash by suddenly having to pay the related expenses.
Immigrants under a government-sanctioned reform would continue to be hired because of their work ethic. And in some cases employers are already paying costs, like withholding taxes, for benefits that illegal immigrants cannot claim because doing so would draw them into the open.
Allowing illegal immigrants to live and work with proper legal documentation would only expand the contribution they are already making, said Reina Mendez, the Ocala-area coordinator for the Redlands Christian Migrant Association in Immokalee, who deals with much of Marion County's illegal population.
"Employers will hire the right people with the right work ethic. It's not going to be a problem of who we hire and who we're not going to hire," she said.
"People are in a lot of need for work. That's still going to continue. They just want a better life for their families."

Game Review: Dirt 3
Dirt 3 (Codemasters Racing Studio)
Xbox 360 (also for PC, PS3)
It took a while for Dirt 3 to click for me. At first, I loved bombing around the beautifully rendered tracks with all of the driving assists turned on, racking up easy gold medals. Then I got bored because everything felt so automatic, and progressing didn't require any skill. So, I turned the aids off. That was a wake-up call; I'd never I worked so hard for a last-place finish before.
When I learned that a wide-open throttle – and the throaty subwoofer-rattling exhaust it produces – was meant to be a last resort rather than a rule of thumb, I excelled. With each driving aid I stripped away, I felt even more empowered: Finally, I earned that first-place finish with skill, not luck.
Dirt 3's driving just feels good. Whether I was tearing through the Kenyan desert or a blizzard-stricken Aspen trail, each car felt responsive and its weight felt believable. You'd be amazed at how far a minor adjustment to the gear ratio goes to help your off-the-line performance, too. No, you can't tweak tire pressure or spark plug gap, but the tuning options here take a lot of the guesswork out of being a gearhead, with simple sliders and voiceovers describing what each one does.
It's too bad the voiceovers wear out their welcome well before everything else, holding the player hostage for a minute or longer to explain menus or detailing your progress, regardless of how deep you may be into your racing career. And for some reason, you'll hear not one, not two, but three different voices assaulting your ears anytime you aren't in a race. It's a tad excessive - especially when one is a Ryan Seacrest bro-wannabe and the other could be his Australian twin brother. Stop telling what an event is and let me jump in for myself, please.

You've seen him interviewed in magazines across the globe, you've probably seen his award winning video part in Forum Snowboards Forever and heard he won the Rider of the Year award for 2010. Now you'll be able to see him first hand at Mammoth on the chairlifts, sitting in Tusks Bar and probably passing by you in the hallway this winter.
John Jackson, a snowboarding powerhouse for progression on the mountain has joined the ranks of Mammoth Unbound Team Riders. This 26 year old Mammoth Mountain native with roots in Crowley Lake certainly has the mountain under his finger when it comes to knowing the terrain and his favorite spots. During the November 21st snowstorm that delivered 3-5 feet, Jackson was out getting powder turns in and documenting the experience on camera.
With his signature style and flare for innovative corked flips, he's got flying high on dial. In 2010, John Jackson secured top honors from snowboarding magazines like Transworld Snowboarding's Riders Poll where Jackson took home Men's Video Part of the Year (Forum Forever) and Men's Rider of the Year. Jackson also captured Snowboarder Magazine's #1 Rider of the Year award.
"John is one of the most amazing snowboarders in the world. You would never know this with his mild manner and laid back style. He is consistently progressing snowboarding and pushing the level of his riding. Mammoth is where it all started for John" said Bryan Knox, Director of Team Marketing and Media for The Program.
Under Mammoth Mountain's "people have always flown here – they just recently started using planes" motto, Jackson has a welcome place going high on the slopes and in the Unbound Parks. Next time you visit Mammoth, you might find yourself passing Jackson in the hall or sitting next to you in the Lodge. And why not? Mammoth Unbound riders spend their winters lapping Main Park and finding powder stashes just like anyone else.

While the search engine itself is
obviously inseparable from the search business, another key to
generating traffic is attached content, such as mapping web
applications and more. Google has long held a healthy lead in
providing such rich information and free web apps.
Microsoft detailed
and rolled out a major overhaul to its Bing engine packed with new
features and refinements to help it close that gap. In what
some are dubbing as "Bing 2.0" Microsoft's new search
results now include more structured information via a feature called
"entity cards", which supplements traditional crawled
results. For example, searching for the band "Coldplay"
will bring up photos of the band, a list of tour dates, and more.
These structured results come courtesy of Microsoft's partners such
as Wolfram
In addition to added basic info, Microsoft will be
adding Twitter and Facebook results local to you. It has also
overhauled its mapping software, offering a new beta
Silverlight-driven version of its mapping and street view software
(Silverlight is a closed rich-media standard similar to Adobe's
Flash). Other mapping improvements include the addition of
"what's nearby" -- information on bars, restaurants, and
other attractions near your location -- and "Photosynths"
-- virtual photographic tours of locations like museums.
also has debuted a feature dubbed "task pages" that help
people complete their search objectives. Both the task pages
and entity cards were available in cruder forms, but have been
refined with "Bing 2.0".
Looking to get the jump on
Google in the emerging smart phone internet market, Microsoft has
launched a mobile Bing client available on 25 devices. Many of
the handsets are Verizon phones, with some powered by Windows Mobile,
Microsoft's smart phone operating system. There's also an app
for AT&T's iPhone. The mobile Bing implementations aims to
rule the world of mobile maps and quick searches. It also
offers rich mobile information and support for voice driven searches,
such as "football scores".
In all, Microsoft's new
features, which should be mostly available at this time, demonstrate
the company's ongoing commitment to the search business.
There's a vast amount of money at stake and Microsoft isn't taking
the search game lightly -- it's increasingly appearing like Google
may have a real competitor on its hands at last.

If the Green Bay Packers are nervous about squaring off against Darelle Revis, they're not showing it. In an interview with Jason Wilde of ESPNWisconsin Greg Jennings said, "Someone's going to win; someone's going to lose. It'll probably go a little both ways. It'll be interesting," Jennings said. "(It'll be like) Trick-or-treat. I'm not even bringing a bucket. We're coming with pillowcases. We're trying to take as much candy home as possible. We're all trying to come back with smiles. You can't come home with no candy. Revis Island. Shhhh." I've never seen Jennings be so cheeky.
Darelle Revis and the tough Jets defense is featured in an article by Gary D'Amato of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The Jets take pride in their identity as an attacking defense and are confident that when they bring pressure Revis and Cromartie will win their matchups," writes D'Amato. "They're not going to sit back in Cover-2 all game." There's reason to think the Packers could have success against a pressure-man defense like the Jets. The Packers have struggled against Cover-2 this season, and it may be a relief not to see as much of that on Sunday. One key will be for the pass protection to keep Aaron Rodgers upright.
The inevitable connection between Charles Woodson and Darelle Revis is given attention by Bill Huber of Packer Report. The comparisons between the two go back to last year when Woodson won Defensive Player of the Year voting. "Jets coach Rex Ryan pressed voters to select Revis for the award last year," writes Huber. "While speaking in glowing terms about Woodson on Wednesday, he hardly backed off his stance that his man is the best cornerback in the NFL." The debate rages on.
The Packers have a pretty good young cornerback of their own in Tramon Williams who's featured in article by the Associated Press, presumably Chris Jenkins. "Packers cornerback Tramon Williams keeps making big impressions with his coaches, and his development bodes well for a franchise that's been missing depth at the position," according to the article. Williams is starting to get some national attention. I heard he's going to be on the Jim Rome radio show today.
Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is compared to Aaron Rodgers by the New York bureau of the Associated Press. "They're both from California, played in the Pac-10, share the same agent and were first-round draft picks a few years apart. They're also the only quarterbacks -- for now -- who can say they replaced Brett Favre," according to the article. They've also been largely successful in their young careers in the NFL. It will be important to watch which one can avoid turnovers this weekend.
The Jets have the top record in the AFC at 5-1, tied with the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers. "Interestingly, all three of those AFC teams have matchups Sunday with opponents that were supposed to be the class of the NFC," according to an article at Packer Report. "The Jets-Packers tilt in the early afternoon will give way to Patriots-Minnesota Vikings in the late afternoon, then Steelers-New Orleans Saints at night." Whichever conference can win the that best-of-three "series" will be getting a lot of attention on Monday morning.
How the three new linebackers are adapting to Green Bay is given some consideration by Tom Fanning of the Packers official website. Among the information in the article appearing at Packers.com was this: "Wilhelm said he expects to spend a lot of time going over the defensive system in more detail with inside linebackers coach Winston Moss during the Packers' bye week, which comes after the Nov. 7 contest against Dallas, but the immediate focus for him is special teams." Wilhelm said he's been practicing with several first-string special teams units, which should indicate he'll play this Sunday.
Tom Oates of the Wisconsin State Journal calls for running back Brandon Jackson to get the ball more often. "After starting slowly in Grant's absence and even falling behind fullback-turned-halfback John Kuhn for a while, Jackson has used his increased workload to become a more instinctive, decisive runner," writes Oates. "McCarthy said the coaches are doing a better job of tailoring runs for the backs and that the run-blocking unit has improved each week, but it is undeniable that in recent games Jackson looks better with the ball under his arm than he ever has in Green Bay."
Aaron Rodgers is a fan of Rex Ryan writes Jason Wilde of ESPNWisconsin.
The Bucky Channel covers the injured reserve list and the players replacing them.
The Packers' play calling is a work in progress says Michael Davidsen of Green Bay Packer Nation.
Ol' Bag of Donuts says the time for the offense to emerge is now.
The Packers' injury situation is held up as an example why there shouldn't be an 18-game NFL schedule by Zach Kruse of Bleacher Report.
Yesterday's practice report is provided by Gary D'Amato of the Journal Sentinel.
Will Blackmon has been signed by the New York Giants.

Washburn July's AL Pitcher of the Month
Lefty receives honor as he prepares for his Detroit debut
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
When the Detroit Tigers swung a Trade Deadline deal for left-hander Jarrod Washburn, they enlisted the American League's hottest pitcher for their stretch run. Confirmation of that came on Tuesday, when Washburn was named the AL Pitcher of the Month for July. Washburn's stellar farewell to the Mariners was comprised of a 4-1 record and 1.44 ERA in 43 2/3 innings, netting the 34-year-old veteran the first monthly honor of his career. His ERA led all AL pitchers who worked 25-plus innings during July and lowered his season mark to 2.64. Washburn got his month off to a terrific start on July 6, when he one-hit Baltimore at Safeco Field without a walk in a complete-game effort. The Tigers' new arm -- who is making his Detroit debut tonight, facing those same Orioles at Comerica Park -- has been reliable as well as good, with a 12-start streak of pitching six-plus innings. Others considered for July honors were the Yankees duo of Mariano Rivera (0.00 ERA in 11 2/3 innings, 10 saves) and A.J. Burnett (4-0, 2.43 ERA), and the Angels' John Lackey (5-1, 2.70 ERA).

Leland & Gray students host political forum
TOWNSHEND -- Kelly Garland expected to hear some partisan bickering and political posturing Thursday morning.
But the Leland & Gray Union High School senior instead witnessed what she termed an "insightful" political forum featuring seven candidates for state office.
"They are actually very concerned about what's going on," Garland said after the 90-minute session. "Sometimes you see candidates who are fake, and they seemed very real to me."
Hosted by the school's Civic Leadership Education and Action (also known as CLEA) organization, the gathering featured the usual trappings of a political forum: There were questions from the audience and timed responses from the candidates.
But it also included some unusual moments. At one point, Mary Alice Herbert, a Putney resident running as a Liberty Union Party candidate for Vermont secretary of state, broke into a children's song about traffic lights in response to a question about music education.
The makeup of the candidates' panel also was unique: There was just one representative each for the Republican and Democratic parties, but there were two independents and three Liberty Union candidates.
Herbert belongs to the latter party, which identifies with socialism, and said she enjoys the freedom that comes with a lower-profile political organization.
"It gives you a lot of independence, because you can really say things nobody else will say," she told the crowd.
The questioning opened with a controversial topic -- the continuing battle over Vermont Yankee. State Rep. Richard Marek, D-Newfane, reiterated his party's position by stating flatly that the Vernon nuclear plant "should have been closed."
Not surprisingly, Vernon-based state Republican Rep. Mike Hebert disagreed, saying he is a "strong supporter" of the plant and has toured the facility many times.
"I feel very comfortable with the operation of the plant," Hebert said, while adding that "it's a shame that it's become a political fight."
Seated to Hebert's left, Liberty Union candidates Ian Diamondstone (running for the Brattleboro District 3 state House seat) and Owen Diamondstone-Kohout (running in the Windham 4 state House district) took a much different position.
"My feeling is, the use of nuclear power is criminal," Diamondstone said. "There should be a moratorium on all nuclear power immediately."
Diamondstone-Kohout said he is concerned about the long-term effects of nuclear waste, saying "radiation stays with us forever."
The candidates generally were less than enthusiastic in response to a follow-up question about coal-burning power production.
"Coal is a finite resource, and I think it's important to focus on renewables," said Emmett Dunbar, an independent running for the Windham-Bennington-Windsor state House district.
Dunbar's opponent, independent Tim Goodwin, said "there has been a lot of progress in cutting pollution and making coal safer" but added that coal is not as clean as natural gas.
The panel also was in general agreement when Jane Olmstead, a Leland & Gray social studies teacher, said many local residents and students are being "shortchanged" by a pervasive lack of adequate broadband and cellular coverage.
Marek and others noted that Gov. Peter Shumlin has committed to expanding broadband coverage statewide by the end of 2013 through public-private partnerships.
"I think there is major progress being made," Marek said.
The candidates weighed in on a variety of other issues, including many related to schools:
- Hebert lobbied for more focused education investment to better prepare students "to take advantage of any opportunity" to get a job and stay in Vermont.
- Marek said he does not believe the state's educational funding system can achieve "absolute equity" among schools.
"Nobody has ever come up with an absolutely perfect system, and I don't think anybody ever will," he said.
- Dunbar decried the shortfalls of standardized testing, pointing to his own struggles as a student.
"Some people can't test, and it has nothing to do with their ability . . . to contribute to our society," he said.
That was a response to a question from Garland, who enthusiastically agreed with Dunbar's assessment.
"I know that a lot of students actually don't test well, and I don't believe it actually reflects their ability," Garland said.
Keeping the forum running smoothly were fellow seniors Gia Casella and Alexandra Morrow, both CLEA members. Both are old enough to vote, and both remarked on the discussion's civil tone.
"They really cared about the issues that were important to us," Morrow said.
Casella said CLEA, which started at Brattleboro Union High School, is an activist group that engages in a variety of activities beyond the political arena. For instance, a fair trade fashion show is planned later in the school year.
"It's youth empowerment," Casella said. "It's students expressing their opinions on local and global issues."
Leland & Gray Spanish teacher Jeryl Julian Cisse, who advises the CLEA group, said Thursday's forum may have been the first of its kind at the school.
"I don't know that it was ever done here before," she said. "It was just the idea of, how do we empower our students to learn about the various parties that exist."

I also have some of the same questions, could you give more
imformation about these Greys and why you would part with such

with having pasted the big 50 myself who's counting lol...I
expect my Grey to out live me! Location, adoption fee are good
upfront questions.

text: Just for fun... (what a witch-hunt!) I have some more theories Li Na faked her injury falling twice at the Australian Open final, Bartoli says she has the flu (not true). New tennis star Sloane Stephens won't play the Fed Cup as she is preparing for a future silent ban (maybe in the next 5 years) Anderson pretended to have an operation to his elbow...or he had it for real to cover his silent ban (he took drugs when he was a baby.. that's why he is so tall) I think all of these are silent bans.. and Federer and Murray are preparing for it. Almost forgot ... Brian Baker served 7 years (or something like that) to cover a mega-silent ban. Have you got any other news to add? ;-)

* Prices may differ from that shown
I like the original version of lucozade though I'm not keen on the newer flavours they have brought out.
It's good for a hangover if you need an energy boost or if you are feeling a bit fatigued and tired, a bottle can give you a little boost to keep going. I would not recommend giving Lucozade to children as they may become hyper.
It is quite good value for money depending where you buy it from. I usually get mine from farmfoods, a 1litre bottle is just a quid compared to £1.80 for a little one in the train station. The packaging is nice and bright and I don't think it has changed much over the years. Lucozade is very recognisable and has been in circulation for many years.
I wouldn't recommend lucozade for rehydration but definitely for a boost. My cure for a hangover..there is no cure, just lucozade and a fry up.
***About Lucozade***
Lucozade seems to be on every shelf in every store and with good reason too. This popular drink is enjoyed by both sports players and just people who want a pick me up during the week and consists of a vast range of flavours to entice everyones tastes buds. It was originally developed in 1927 by a chemist looking for a pick me up for people with illness such as colds or influenza however it was later re-branded as an energy drink.
***The Look***
The drink comes in a tall thin plastic bottle with a screw top (unlike Lucozade sport which contains a pop top). The wrapper contains the brand name 'Lucozade' in very big letters as well as 'Energy' in slightly smaller characters underneath. This runs up the bottle and is printed twice on bottle taking up the majority of the space. The flavour is printed under the logo and under that the slogan 'DRINK. THINK. DO'. The colour of the bottle depends on the flavour, original is red, blackcurrant is purple etc. The nutritional values and contact details are on the back of the bottle.
***The Taste***
Lucozade has a really strong flavour which will leave you wanting more. If you prefer things with a more subtle taste I suggest that this product isn't for you but for the people who enjoy a more intense flavour this is just up your street. The fizz also lasts a long time which is especially convenient if you have a bigger bottle which you want to last. It comes in a variety of flavours including original, orange, blackcurrant, pink lemonade and many more. My personal favourite is the orange flavour.
***Nutrition and Price***
Each 250ml of Original Lucozade contains 175 calories and 21.8g of sugar, this equates to 9% of your daily calories and 24% of your daily sugar guidelines. This can cause health problems is you drink too much too often and don't have a balanced diet. This concerns me as it is a very popular drink and I also enjoy a glass or to on occasion but it is only for a treat.
It RRPs at £1.99 for a 1 litre bottle which I think is a bit pricey.
The packaging is professional look and stands out on the shelf. It comes in a huge range of flavours and all have a lovely intense flavour however it's not to be consumed often due to the fact it isn't very healthy.
Little tip - Drink carefully to avoid staining your upper lip.
I have indulged in the odds bottle of Lucozade over the years. When I was a child it used to be one of my favourite drinks and I have fond memories of always received a case on my Birthday's and over Christmas!
Now I will be honest, I kind of went off the flavour, and these days I only really buy it when I'm feeling rough in the mornings, especially the morning after a big night out. I don't know what the special ingredient is, but when ever I'm a bit hung over, I buy myself a bottle of Lucozade and it sorts me right out!
In terms of taste, there are 2 main flavours, Original and Orange. There are also other flavours, but these are not as common and you may struggle to find these in most places. Flavours I have tried are Lemon and Apple. From performing further research there are also flavours in Tropical, Cherry and Blackcurrant.
Although Lucozade would be classes as a fizzy drink, it is not too fizzy. What I mean by this is that is does not have as much fizz as drinks such as Coke and Sprite. I would actually prefer if it was more fizzy.
The Original flavour has quite a bland taste to it, but for some reason it's my favourite.
Lucozade is full of a substance called Glucose, which is a form of sugar. This ensures that if you will get an energy boost from consuming it.
Lucozade is generally sold in a 500ml bottle, but you can also find it in a 1000ml bottle, cans and even a plastic carton. The 500ml bottle is generally sold at around £1 a bottle, although if you buy it from the large supermarkets, they should be cheaper.
I would definitely recommend buying some Lucozade if you feel you need a energy kick, or are feeling a little rough. But if you are looking for a tasty and refreshing drink, there are certainly other things I would go for.
I hardly ever drink fizzy drinks because I know how bad some of them can be for teeth & weight, but today while out with my fiancé I felt really tired and in need of a boost so I decided to buy a can of lucozade energy, which is fizzy pop marketed as an energy drink.
I've not had this for years and couldn't really remember what it tasted like but thought it'd make a nice change from sprite which I usually buy whenever I do drink fizzy drinks. I bought my 330ml can of this from Poundland as it was on promotion (any 4 cans of fizzy drinks for a pound). I'm not sure what the retail price is, but I would estimate around 60p.
Lucozade also comes in 500ml bottles and 1 litre bottles but as I said above I bought mine in a can which is made from aluminium and it has got a reddish orange colour sheme. It has got the ingredients on the back with a bit of info about the drink too. The calorie count is also listed as well as the amount of sugar, fat, salt etc clearly written.
Per can there are 231 calories and 28.7 grams of sugar which I was genuinely shocked by! That is the same amount of calories as most healthy sandwiches and probably quite a bit more than a big bag of crisps. Needless to say I only drank about half of the can and my fiancé had the rest! The drink tastes nice - a bit like lemonade in my opinion and its a nice taste but considering how much sugar is in it it isn't actually that sweet, don't get me wrong it's sweet but not as sweet as you'd expect considering the sugar count.
The drink is really fizzy and actually made my mouth feel quite dry after each sip, and I didn't feel like my thirst was quenched. I did however feel much more awake after I'd finished drinking half the can, not energetic just more awake and able to carry on with daily life without feeling like I would fall asleep at any moment. The drink all in all isn't for me, it is way too high in sugar and doesn't taste that nice, you can get pretty much the same taste from a bottle of diet lemonade.
I was addicted to energy drinks, Relentless being the main one. Going through sometimes 2-3 cans a day wasn't good for my health, teeth or purse. After a big scare at the dentist earlier this week, I have replaced Relentless with water and a little bit of Lucozade a day, of course, Lucozade isn't exactly the best option but it's still giving me the pick me up I need until I can cut it out altogether.
Lucozade is available to purchase in lots of different flavours, the flavour I am reviewing today is the original flavour. Lucozade can be purchased in different size bottles, either 1L, 0.5L or 380ml. I try and buy the 1L version as it is often on special offer in most shops.
The packaging of Lucozade bottles stand out well on shelves of similar products, the red, orange and yellow colour scheme is quite in your face. Of course, the different flavours of Lucozade have different colour schemes.
The original flavour of this Lucozade doesn't have a distinctive taste. After opening the screw top bottle, you are met with a fizzing noise. The taste isn't of anything in particular, just a sugary hit with a faint taste of orange. The ingredients contained in this original flavour seem to tell the story:
Carbonated Water, Glucose Syrup (25%), Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Flavouring, Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bisulphite), Caffeine (0.012%), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Colour (Sunset Yellow).
The high amount of glucose syrup means the taste is very sweet and sugary. However, it isn't a horrible taste, it's just like a thick sugary liquid.
As it is classed as an energy drink, it does give me the small pick me up I need. Granted, not as much as my ol' faithful Relentless did, but a pick me up nonetheless. I always used to associate Lucozade with hospitals as my grandad drank quite abit of it when he was ill, now I can see why, it gave him the boost that he needed.
Overall, this Lucozade serves my purpose well. Instead of having 2-3 cans of Relentless energy drinks a day, this Lucozade is a fitting substitute. Although it doesn't taste of anything in particular, it does have a nice taste, and in time I will cut down my consumption of this too, not because I don't like it, but because of my health and my teeth!

Yes, it isn't loaded with caffeine, but all in all it's so much nicer than Red Bull. The taste is something we all know and love, it's been around for years. It's full of glucose, which as it says on the bottle, is what the body needs most for energy. Yes, Red Bull gives you a buzz from the caffeine content, but once that wears off you end up feeling awful.
It's great for sports, the glucose gives you the energy to really go for it. And of course, more recently they've expanded the lineup, so there's a Lucozade for any situation. Low calories, fizzy, still, multiple flavours, you're guaranteed to find one you'll like.
Not only is it better than Red Bull, it's cheaper too, and you get more for your money. My local shop currently has it at £1.25 for a 500ml bottle, or 2 for £1.50. On the other hand, Red Bull is £1.40 for a 250ml can. And of course you can get a much bigger bottle, around £2 will get you a whole litre, although it can be had for as little as £1 if you know where to look.
And finally, being made by GSK, it's a British product, which in my book makes it cooler than Red Bull.
Now this is a drink I think we ALL love,a sparkling drink, which is made by GlaxoSmithKline. Tried and trusted with me for over 40 years.
When I was a little girl it was only the original flavour in a normal size bottle, which was then made of glass, with a yellow coloured cellophane wrapping on it, with a top cover of shiny metalic gold foil.
Oooooh how we loved being ill to get this special drink. I used to drink it then put the cellophane on the tv screen which were all black and white in those days lol, I had my own lucozade coloured one.
Nowadays the drink comes in a plastic bottle in 2 sizes, a 500ml (the small bottle) and a 1 litre (the large bottle)
These retail at around 60p for small, and Home and Bargain have them from 39p to 59p, and around £1 for the large bottle.
The flavours are also a better variety now, there is original, orange, lemon,apple, cherry and cola maybe a few more. My favourite is orange, then again cherry comes close too.
Lovely drink, very refreshing, good for energy with its glucose, best served chilled.
The ingredients in it are
Glucose Fructose syrup 24%
Carbonated water
Orange juice from concentrate 5%
Citric acid
Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bisulphite)
Stabiliser (Acacia Gum)
Caffeine (0.012%)
Antioxidant (Ascorbic acid)
Colour (Beta Carotene)
I have also found that the ingredients are NOT on the multi pack bottles, but will be on the cardboard packaging that they come in.
Not good for mums to be, too much glucose would be bad for baba.
Well known family brand name too
Love it, especially as you dont have to be ill to drink it, and comes in sweets too.
Lucozade has to be my most loved drink/energy drink in the entire planet. But just with like different flavours of crisps, you aren't going to enjoy every single flavour they bring out and it is certainly the case with this flavour. By the time I got into energy drinks Lucozade had already released a few different flavours and I'm extremely thankful that this isn't the first flavour I tried. I think if it had been then I would have been put off of Lucozade for life!
It has been a long time since I even tried this particular type as I just can't stand it. After enjoying a different flavour of Lucozade for a long time I decided I was interested in going back to their roots and giving this original flavour a try. When I first opened the bottle, the first thing I was reminded of is that the colour was a lot like that of Irn Bru, but a bit more dull. Second was the infamous sniff before you taste test. Needless to say it didn't go down well. However, I owed it to myself and Lucozade to taste it. To me there is no real taste to this drink at all, which is what makes it not enjoyable. Now it wasn't as bad as Red Bull but it's certainly in the bottom tier. I will never understand how people enjoy this version.
The colour of the packaging is also very similar to another of their flavours, so it's always best to double check you're picking up the right one. I like to assume that the purchasers of this flavour have simple made a mistake and picked up the wrong flavour. This is mostly distributed in bottles, however I have seen it available in can for more, not sure if this is a retro thing as the packaging is slightly different.
Love this brand but I will never touch this flavour
With lots of different flavours now available ranging from lemon through to blackcurrant and now cola (and what's that all about??!!??), Lucozade is the number one best-selling energy drink in the country and rightly so! But, sticking true to the cliche that you shouldn't mess with perfection, this original flavour remains the best of the bunch in my eyes and for taste, value and for a welcome sugary energy boost like no other, simply cannot be beat!
I always remember being given this by my mum when I was ill as a child or simply feeling run-down to give me a lift and boost my energy levels. At one stage, and I do not know if they still do them, you could even get Lucozade Energy Lozenges that tasted a little like a sweeter version of Love Hearts but with the unique flavour of Lucozade and the added bonus that they gave you one hell of a rush! Nowadays, Lucozade does not affect me as strongly as it once did but whether or not that is because they have altered the ingredients somewhat or just because I have become more accustomed to it's effects over the intervening years, I don't know.
The taste of Lucozade is like a very sugary, orange-flavoured drink and that is no doubt why it is rated so highly! Other energy drinks (and I'm looking at you Red Bull!) taste a little like cough medicine and are
nowhere near as pleasant in taste. And what's more, Lucozade is always easily spotted on the shelf with its uniqwue and original bright, bold orange and yellow lettering and design. Other energy drinks seems to pale on the shelf in comparison and are nowhere near as colourful or stand out as well.
People have talked about how drinking too much of this is bad for you and can induce panic attacks and increase seratonin and stress levels but I must admit I have never experienced this maybe because I drink it sensibly and in moderation the same way I would drink strong coffee! But when you are feeling a bit under the weather and need that extra zing put back in your stride then there really is no competition!
For me, it has to be lucozade every time!
Lucozade comes in 500 ml and 1L bottles and can be bought individually or, for better value, in multi-packs from all good stores. So next time you need a lift, reach for the Lucozade......
Doctors may not recommend it but this reviewer certainly does!
Lucozade has been around for a long time. It is a drink I have on occassion. I do not have it too regularly as I don't like to drink too much of an energy drink but it is a very tasty drink.
It comes in a 500ml bottle which is a tall and shapely bottle. It is almost hourglass in appearance and it makes it very easy and comfortable to hold. Depending on the flavour of the Lucozade you have chosen will determine the colour of the label. If you have purchased the Original flavour then it will red/yellow/orange label with LUCOZADE in its type face on the bottle. The rest of the bottle will be clear plastic so you can see the sun coloured drink inside. It has a screw top lid for ease when you are out and about. You can easily drink some and just stick it back in your bag. A bottle of Lucozade usually retails for £1.00-£1.50 depending on where you are purchasing it from.
Lucozade is available in many flavours. There is Original, Lemon, Summer Fruits, Apple, Cola, Orange, Cherry, Tropical Fruits and more. My personal favourites are the cherry and lemon. I find the lemon flavour very refreshing. All of them taste really nice and the taste is strong and long lasting. It feels nice and smooth as you drink.
The drink is very fizzy and when you first unscrew the bottle it lets off a mist of fizz! I like the fact that it is fizzy but this also tells me that there is a fair bit of sugar and the like in Lucozade which doesn't make it great as part of a regular diet.
I drink Lucozade the most when I have been ill with a cold. I always find myself zapped of energy so I always reach for a bottle of it to pick me up and kick start my energy levels again. Most people drink Lucozade after playing sports or doing a work out
Lucozade is not recommended for children as it is an energy drink and will cause them to be hyperactive. I am unsure if there are any other side effects to this. It is also not to be used to rehydrate youself after sickness bugs.
Lucozade is the best energy drink out there in my opinion - I personally cannot even have a can of Red Bull near me without wanting to be sick! It has been around for a long time and has retained its popularity. It is a nice drink but not one for a regular basis.
Lucozade's come a long way over the years, starting out as a health tonic and now considered more as a sports drink. Even so, if you're unwell with a bug absolutely everyone around you will advise you get yourself some good old Lucozade.
~~~So, what have we got here?~~~
Lucozade Energy is the original variety of Lucozade, it's a fizzy soft drink which comes in many different flavours including Original, Orange, Blackcurrant, Apple, Cherry, Cola, Mixed Berries and Tropical Crush. My personal favourite is the Original flavour, and that's the one I'll be reviewing here.
The drink comes in standard plastic bottles, in sizes such as 380ml (usually sold in a six pack), 500ml and 1 litre.
I usually buy my Lucozade from Asda, where a pack of six 380ml bottles usually sets you back about £2, while 1 litre bottles cost £1 and the 500ml ones are often on offer at 'buy 2 for £1'. However they can be bought at many different places, including Lucozade's online shop which charges £3.70 for a six pack in any of the flavours mentioned above. So these are perhaps a little pricier than other brands of fizzy drinks, but work out similarly priced as things like Coke if you get them on offer.
Lucozade Energy comes in standard plastic bottles, but they do have a slight incline in the middle giving them the merest hint of an hourglass shape. This makes them very easy to pick up and hold, and I imagine they'd be very easy to drink from while working out etc, for this reason.
The colour of the bottle depends on the flavour you buy, my Original bottles are red whereas Orange flavoured offers an orange bottle and so on. The front of the bottle has a very attractive picture of orangey bubbles across it, with the slogan 'Drink. Think. Do.' which I suppose is quite a positive message.
All the bottles in the range are screw topped and easy to open.
The bottle has all the information you expect, including ingredients, contact details for the company that make it (GlaxoSmithKline) and nutritional content. Amongst these standard details are the warnings that this product contains sulphites, that it may spill and also that it's not suitable for replacing the fluid lost during diarrhoea, The latter may seem like a strange thing to put on a drinks bottle, but if you're suffering from the stomach flu/food poisoning and are losing fluids you'll need something that replenishes your potassium levels and electrolyte balance to stop you from becoming dehydrated. People often mistakenly believe that Lucozade does this so it's wise to know it doesn't.
~~~It's what's on the inside that counts~~~
...Or so my mum tells me.
Lucozade is not a healthy drink. One 380ml bottle of the Original flavour contains 266 calories and 33.1 grams of sugar which is a staggering 37% of a healthy adult's RDA. As I remember it, the Orange flavour was even more calorific. (But don't hold me to that one!) So, not exactly good for dieters! I've seen people down a whole litre bottle of this stuff time and time again, and I can just imagine their dentist rubbing their hands with glee at the amount of fillings they'll soon be needing...
So there you have the truth - Lucozade is definitely something to enjoy in moderation due to its high calorie and sugar content. However there are times when a massive sugar hit is what you need, and obviously the high glucose content is what makes it a sports drink (and explains why there's not a Diet version too I suppose). Also, despite the fact that Lucozade isn't going to cure you of real dehydration during a virus, it's still something that's recommended. Doctors will still tell you to try small sips of Lucozade or flat Coke, as for some reason it's easier to stomach than water when you're unwell. I believe this is simply just because it's sugary rather than Lucozade containing some magical stomach-healing ingredient. In fact whenever I've found myself in that predicament, Dry Ginger Ale is what I turn to and I find it much better than Lucozade for this purpose.
Having said that, Lucozade does have a noticeable effect on energy levels. Its high glucose content hits you immediately and gives you an instant sugar rush, leaving you buzzing on adrenaline for a while. So I think if you're using it for during sports, or to lift you up if your energy levels are dragging, this will almost definitely do the job for a short amount of time. Lucozade does contain Caffeine too, so it will have the natural stimulant effect of things like coffee on top of the sugar high. It's worth noting that, much like coffee, if you come to rely on Lucozade constantly you will notice caffeine crashes if you stop drinking it. So the energy Lucozade supplies you with is a sort of 'false energy' but it'll definitely get you through the day.
~~~The Look and Taste~~~
The flavour of Lucozade Original is one that's very unusual and hard to describe (sorry!). It's very sweet, but yet not fruity at all.
If you take a sip you'll first get the feeling of very gentle bubbles on your tongue, as although this is a fizzy drink it's only very lightly carbonated in my opinion but I find it very pleasant. Next it's the texture you'll notice - it's quite thick and syrup-like in comparison to other soft drinks, but in a nice way. It slips down your throat with ease and is very palatable. There's a slight tang of citrus to this, mixed with the faintest taste of salt once you've swallowed it which may be because it contains a small amount of Potassium Sorbate.
Okay I'll admit it - Original flavour Lucozade is impossible to describe! But personally I enjoy it, I think it's a nice flavour and despite being heavily sugar laden it's not insipid or sickly in any way. It's quite soothing on the stomach and isn't over-sweet in taste.
As for the look of it, it's a bright orange liquid, time to call the E-numbers police! We are warned that this contains Sunset Yellow and can cause hyperactivity in children, so it's fair to expect it to be such a bright colour.
Lucozade Energy is a delicious tasting fizzy drink that gives you a good energy boost when you need it, whether for sports, during illness or just for a normal busy day. But its chock full of sugar and calories in order to achieve this, so it loses stars from me because of this, and I personally wouldn't drink it every day.
Thanks for reading :)
This drink is amazing for sporty or active people, it provides great replenishment for a cheap price.
it also comes in a variety of different flavours for everybody to enjoy, for example cherry, orange, apple, berries, and of course the original, i prefer the apple and its a stronger taste.
the sleek design of the bottle also looks appetising and it is also very comfortable to hold in your hand.
The drink itself gives me the energy boost i need to either get through some work late at night, or to replenish me after a football game, or something similar.
the ingredients for the original flavour are...
Carbonated Water, Glucose Syrup (25%), Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Flavouring, Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Bisulphite), Caffeine (0.012%), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Colouring (Sunset Yellow).
and one normal sized bottle(380ml) contains approximately 250 calories.
This could be considered quite a lot, especially if you are dieting or trying to keep your weight down.
One thing i dislike about this energy drink, is that if it is excessively consumed, the sugar levels are high and will rot your teeth, also it is not a drink to have beside the bed as will rot your teeth in the night, and isnt diabetes friendly
Overall i recommend this drink to anyone not dieting or diabetic because of the sugars.
But provides a refreshing energy boost and mouth tingling flavour.
I live an active lifestyle, often dancing and figure skating. I need a drink that refreshes me and gives me the energy to carry on.
I tried Lucozade a few years ago and was impressed by how nice it tasted and so have continued to drink it ever since. Lucozade is endorsed by many different athletes because of its ability to refuel and rehydrate. This drink comes in two different flavours: original and orange. Both of these flavours are nice, however, I believe that the orange flavour has the strongest and most likable taste.
I drink many of the other drinks and flavours from Lucozade's range and I must say I am a fan of pretty much all of them. These drinks are very refreshing especially when they are cool and they provide athletes and people involved in sport with a way to refuel their bodies.
One bad point about these drinks is that they are pretty expensive and I tend to only buy them in a multipack so they are not quite as expensive.
Overall, I would recommend these drinks to anyone because they have a really nice taste and they are especially good for people that do a lot of exercise.
I have been drinking Lucozade for donkey's years now and it's a taste and I brand I like and trust. I like to drink this when I feeling a bit sluggish or need a bit of a boost or a pick me up. I am flagging by the end of the week so this is when I tend to pick up a bottle at the petrol station on my way back from work on a Friday evening and pay for it along with my petrol.
It comes in a load of different flavours such as cherry, berries, apple and orange but I tend to prefer the original flavour best of all and it also reminds me of when I was a little lad! Yes! Lucozade rally has been around for that long!
I buy the small 380ml bottle from the petrol station and it costs around £1.20, but varies according to where I am filling up. It is an energy drink, in essence, and as such, probably more expensive than other energy drinks on the market. Having said that though, I tend to prefer Lucozade over the other energy drinks as I prefer the taste.
The ingredients are: (for original flavour only) :
Carbonated Water, Glucose Syrup (25%), Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Flavouring, Preservatives (Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Bisulphite), Caffeine (0.012%), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid), Colour (Sunset Yellow).
One 380ml sized bottle contains around 250 calories, which I suppose is a lot if you are watching your weight (I am watching mine, but not doing anything else... just watching) as I am.
Although sweet tasting and quite high in calories, I do enjoy the taste of Lucozade and it is very thirst quenching. It also gives me a brilliant lift if my energy levels are flagging mid afternoon.
Overall then, I do recommend this energy drink and think it is up there with one of my all time favourites.
I've always loved drinking lucozade ever since I was a little girl. I still fall back to it especially the orange flavor I recommend that to everyone as I always found the original flavor gives you a dry mouth? When I'm ill I pretty much live of this drink and I know I shouldn't but its the only drink I can bring myself to drink especially when I'm feeling poorly. When I was in hospital in 2010 I kept sneaking bits of this drink as I was sick to death of drinking water and was only thing giving me a little bit of energy.
I won't drink any other energy drink as I don't like the taste of them but this is a deffintly must try they have different flavors now ranging from Cherry, Cola, Mixed berries, Blackcurrent, Apple, Lemon and tropical crush so a complete different variety to choose from. The normal size bottle for this is a 500ml but you can get a smaller ml bottle but the average size is 500ml and they do a 1L bottle aswell the price normally varies according to each shop, Some weeks it be cheaper to by the 1L bottle instead of a 500ml bottle.
I would advice to go very careful if drinking whilst pregnant, It is safe but in small bouts of it according to my midwife but It gives me panic attacks and chest paulations after having a few mouthfuls. If you experience any of this then stop drinking right away.
The original fizzy energy drink.

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office filed paperwork in Pulaski County Circuit Court on Wednesday asking a judge to dismiss the prisoners' amended lawsuit. The inmates argue that the state's new lethal injection law is unconstitutional.
That law came about after the state Supreme Court struck down the previous law in 2012, saying that legislators had ceded too much control over execution procedures to correction officials. So, this year, lawmakers enacted a new law that says the state must use a lethal dose of a barbiturate in lethal injections.
However, the new law leaves it up to the Department of Correction to pick the drug.
The Associated Press first reported in April that Arkansas planned to use an anti-seizure drug called phenobarbital in executions, even though that chemical has never been used in a lethal injection in the United States.
Inmates sued, challenging the state's new lethal injection law, along with the procedure that spelled out plans to use phenobarbital and the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam. The prisoners have since amended their lawsuit to limit their challenge to the new execution law, not the procedure, which the Department of Correction has said it plans to rewrite.
Department of Correction spokeswoman Shea Wilson said Thursday that the agency doesn't have a new procedure yet.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office didn't respond to an email on Thursday. Jeff Rosenzweig, a lawyer for the inmates, declined to comment.
Arkansas last executed a death row inmate in 2005. Gov. Mike Beebe said last month he doesn't have any immediate plans to schedule execution dates for seven death row inmates, even though the attorney general asked him to do so.
Beebe's office has said the governor's decision to hold off on setting execution dates comes as the Department of Correction plans to rewrite its lethal injection protocol and as the inmates challenge the state's new lethal injection law.

Anne is a sweetheart and love to jerkoff my 16yo cock to her instructions and she has a pretty face and sexy voice and seems to be a real down to earth girl. Would be sweet to watch her jerkoff cock and swallow cum in person.
I wish you would come over and teach my wife how to due this. I would love to have you come over due me when my wife not home. I bet you can make me cum because my wife can't make me cum.
Can I fuck u Anne plz
My gf enjoyed yur tips for felatio tips and when she gave me a bj OMG amazing !!!!! Thanks
Good for u
She sucks at sucking
Stupid. Girls please don't the advice of this woman, she's terrible
This vid is called "how to perform fellatio" but actually it is about how to wank a dick
Can you suck my dick piz plz plz plz plz
horrible performance plus she's a cum dodger...fail
All complaints aside Her tits look great with all of that cum on them!
Oh! That really feels good! Can you suck on it?
In case Rose and Lila are interested in practicing, I'd be happy to administer an oral exam. :-) She has personality, seems sweet, and certainly knew her subject well. An A for effort.
She didnt actually describe it that well. She focused too much on smell and taste and how the girl will respond than what your tongue should be doing to make her respond. She talked about speed well but not technique. I understand that girls are all different but their are some generalities she couldve went over as well such as kissing, where to lick, pressure of licking, and occasional sucking. Also, dont worry about doing anything kinky AT ALL until youre used to just the simple stuff. Her advice sucked, that is all. Xoxo
With that big tits and pretty face even if you perform a bad fellatio it's easy to cum. BTW the technique is not that good
Ann You Are Exceptionally beautiful. I want so bad for you perform fellatio on me.
I love when my wife give me a blow job but i have a problem is when i cum i can't hold still. I hate when i cum she plays with the tip.
nice sucking I love her hairy bush more
Ann is cute! A little too much "hand work" in this video, but, overall not bad (she gets the job done)!
Loved it...could you do a demo on me as well please?
Yah, she sucks at sucking. But what's worse is her hand work. No jiggle whatsoever. Those long monotonous stroks all the way to the base don't do the trick.
... WHY ARE WE WATCHING HER FACE?! Do we not need to see her hands doing what she's instructing?
i feelt so good while watching this
At least she wanked him to cum and his hand is nowhere to be seen
Yeah that's so funny! "So i can move my pretty little mouth over to his.... penis!" She was so close to saying cock or dick:D
OK good, but we are guys so we need "How to perform cunnilingus" xD
I enjoy the fact that Ann(e) is keen to keep up the educational feel of the video by trying not to use raunchy, pornographic words and yet this is a video in which she's sucking a penis to the point of ejaculation with her tits out.
Based on what is contained here, I would re-title this video, "How to give a blowjob to suit yourself rather than your man and then negotiate your way out of finishing it properly" But I guess that would take up a lot of room in the subject line. Unless it's Heather Brooke or maybe Fellucia Blow (now Camille Crimson), I doubt any woman really knows what is or isn't a great blowjob from a man's point of view. Most of them, even on porn sites, even Fellucia Blow some of the time, miss one or two important elements that would really put it into the realm of greatness. These video lessons need to be taught to a woman by a courageous and articulate man who's had enough good-to-great blowjobs to know the difference himself. A man who wouldn't be afraid to confidently and gently say to a woman what most men are too shy to say. And I would hope he wouldn't be teaching viewers how to give one that has high visual appeal on a porn site, but rather one that would deliver the highest pleasure and visual appeal to the man who would benefit from a woman learning the lessons. jmho, of course.
@bjscholar.. I guess you have a point
um...maybe I'm missing something...but shouldn't a man be telling a girl how to give him a blowjob in these instruction videos? Most men are either too shy to issue instructions or they're so grateful to be getting any kind of blowjob they're afraid to tell her to stop scraping her teeth across li'l peter. With all undue respect for political correctness, who the hell cares where the girl wants the man to cum if this video is supposedly teaching women how to give a good blowjob? I assume during that awkward edit she decided she wanted him to cum on her tits. Some lesson.
I'm amazed how long the guy stayed soft at the beginning. I get hard the moment a hand comes near my junk; no way someone could stroke me clothed and unclothed for several minutes first, though who knows, it might be nice. And forget about this video being erotic or not; it's about being informational, and I'm glad it exists for the people who can use it.
some girls love it up the nose? who does this?
She's really cute.. I would love to party with her.. I find it very helpful if I drink some pink grapefruit juice before giving head..it helps lube your mouth and throat.. I think men like to hear you gag.. I love to swallow and the taste of semen is amazing..
she has armpit hair, turn off
Im with you Lila, I think shes adorable!! I find it hilarious that some of you men are complaining that this video isnt raunchy enough when your watching a HOW TO video!!!...it was clearly made for women....Thanks a lot Ann I loved some of your ideas and cant wait to try it out on MY man :)
Wait wait WAIT.... "Some girls like cum up their nose"??? Come on, really?
As a guy, I like this. It seems like it's more informative than purely erotic, but it's arousing too. But, I like it when a girl talks during sex, so long as it's not too fake or staged. She's got a cute voice as well, which certainly doesn't hurt. Quite a beautiful woman.
i like her! She's so sweet and likeable. But i guess this video is more of a use to us girls, then you guys:)
awww, she made a good job explain us all the details...
i liked it
she is a tard, and is way to slow
Christ, you're an adult performer?! Wouldn't fancy her pulling my knob off, quite literally!
This is why porn stars shouldn't talk.
Wow. Talk about taking the fun out of it. Nice job, Ann. Also, you might think about dialing back on that eyeliner next time. It really doesn't photograph very well.
she needs to shut up and suck
Now if I can only get my wife to watch this a few times. Thanks for the help.
I'm so glad that the video came with subtitles. (NOT) are you kidding me? This is awful. Maybe some person will actually take something away from this video...
she can suck my cock any day!
This chick is so giggly. she laughs at everything.
LOL it must be so awkward to be that guy
