The Eye Shop has transformed my wearing of glasses.
I have had glasses for years only wearing them when I had to do such as when driving. I found them uncomfortable. My last pair were varifocals from Boots that I could barely use even when I had to wear them.
I saw a positive review of The Eye Shop and decided that I had nothing to lose.
The Eye Shop was a great experience. They were helpful in selecting a suitable frame and then, following a thorough examination, they spent a great deal… Read Full Review

Tariff Armistice
The Franco-U.S. tariff dispute (TIME, Sept. 19 et seq.) came to a definite if temporary head last week when Premier Raymond Poincare, functioning as Minister of Finance, caused a note to be written to Washington expressing France's willingness to revert to the status quo ante for U. S. imports pending the negotiation of a new commercial treaty.
This means that U. S. goods will be admitted to France on the terms that they enjoyed prior to Sept. 6 when the new French tariff law went into...

Linksys PAP2T Review
A high quality, reliable, and secure VoIP adapter
The Linksys PAP2 Internet phone adapter enables small businesses to experience high quality VoIP service over a broadband connection. Simply attach the PAP2 to an active router and utilize the two standard telephone ports to connect conventional telephones (or even fax machines.)

It is especially beneficial for professionals on the go, as they can travel with their adapter and experience VoIP from any conventional phone around the world – provided there is an active Internet connection available. An added bonus is the compatibility with all common telephony features; caller ID, call waiting, voice mail, call routing, IP fax etc..
Linksys PAP2T VoIP Adapter Overview:
• Two voice ports (RJ-11) compatible with analog phones and fax machines
• Impedance Agnostics
• Call Waiting, Cancel Call Waiting, Call waiting caller ID

President Obama was campaigning at a high school in Manchester, NH when a group of OWS protesters gave him the human mic treatment. The message was muddled as usual. The Washington Times was able to transcribe part of it: "Mr. President — over 4,000 peaceful protesters — have been arrested." He didn't respond "Maybe they should stop committing crimes," but I digress. The Obamabots in attendance started their own chant to drown out the OWS down twinkles. Here's the video.
Later Obama gave them a verbal group hug.
"I appreciate you guys making your point; let me go ahead and make mine," Obama said before continuing his speech. "I'll listen to you, you listen to me, OK?"
A few minutes later, Obama acknowledged the Occupy protest movement again, saying: "You are the reason I ran for office."
Side Note: Is it just me, or does anyone else find it odd that the president was AWOL for the entire Super Commission negotiations, but as soon as they announced failure he came back to point fingers?
In related news, Nancy Pelosi sent out an email fundraising off of the lawless Occupy movement. Apparently, that means she fully embraces the rapes, assaults, filth, disturbances of the peace, and other disgusting behavior they've become known for.
Update: Snore Monster linked – thanks! (For a moment there I thought Mr. LC started a blog and linked to me – heh!)

Jersey Shore's Snooki has faced her fair share of bullies during her years as a teen guidette in New Jersey, and now the MTV star is sharing her story in hopes of ending "digital drama" once and for all.
Having to dodge constant rumors about her promiscuity as a student at New York's Malboro High School, Snooki, now 24, says dealing with her haters made her a stronger person.
"As a freshman, I was bullied so much by the older girls. What I went through in high school made me who I am today: I'm very strong. [To] whoever talks about me, I'm like 'Yeah, whatever,'" the reality star explains in a just-released PSA for the network's A Thin Line campaign, which aims to end sexting, cyberbullying and digital dating abuse.
Currently filming her own Jersey Shore spinoff with BFF Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Snooki hopes fans struggling with bullies will adopt the same philosophy that helped her survive and thrive as a teen.
"Do not live your life trying to please everyone else so they like you," she says. "Just please yourself and if people doesn't like you and they make fun of you, that's their own problem."
Learn more about how Snooki overcame her own digital drama in the PSA above, and to get involved in the A Thin Line campaign, visit AThinLine.Org.

Which is surprising really, given my utter hate and dread of soggy wet feet you would think I would be savvy to the winter elements with an ever-ready stockpile of go-to waterproofs.

All Product Details
This collection of miscellaneous prose opens with a self-portrait of the writer in winter, a Prospero who, though he fears his most dazzling performances are behind him, reveals himself in every sentence to be in deep conversation with the sources of his magic. It concludes with a moving meditation on a modern world robbed of imagination--a world without religion, without art--and on the difficulties of faith in a disbelieving age. In between are previously uncollected stories and poems, a pageant of scenes from seventeenth-century Massachusetts, five late "golf dreams," and several of Updike's commentaries on his own work. At the heart of the book are his matchless reviews--of John Cheever, Ann Patchett, Toni Morrison, William Maxwell, John le Carré, and essays on Aimee Semple McPherson, Max Factor, and Albert Einstein, among others. Also included are two decades of art criticism--on Chardin, El Greco, Blake, Turner, Van Gogh, Max Ernest, and more.
Updike's criticism is gossip of the highest order, delivered in an intimate and generous voice.
Christopher Carduff, the editor of this volume, is a member of the staff of The Library of America.

The Bethel College women's tennis team renewed its' annual contest with the St. Mary's College Belles on Thursday afternoon, making the short trip to play in the Eck Tennis Center on the campus of the University of Notre Dame. The match was originally scheduled to be played at Bethel College, but inclement weather conditions forced the match to be moved indoors. In a hard-fought match, St. Mary's prevailed by the score of 7-2, leaving the Lady Pilots with a season record of 12-5.
The match began with doubles play where the Lady Pilots managed to take just one of three contests. The number two doubles team of Bethany Blodgett and Morgan McFarren continued their impressive play this season with a solid 8-4 victory.
In singles action, the Lady Pilots once again battled hard at every position. However, St. Mary's was able to win five of six matches to close out the contest. The lone Bethel singles triumph was turned in at the number three position by Bethany Blodgett with a 6-1, 6-2 victory.
"We got off to a good start this evening in doubles", stated Bethel coach, John Natali. "Bethany and Morgan cashed in for us at number two with a win while Molly and Whitney led their match until late when St. Mary's rallied to take the point. In singles, we played well at several positions, but couldn't get over the hump against a very good team from St. Mary's. An obvious highlight for us was the play of Bethany Blodgett in her singles match where she took her game to a whole new level today winning in dominant fashion."
The Lady Pilots will have little time to rest as they will return to action on Friday, April 12th when they will travel to Cedarville, Ohio to battle Cedarville University. The match is scheduled to begin at 3:00pm.
Singles 1 - 6
#1 Molly O'Grady: 6-1, 1-6, 4-10
#2 Whitney Neuenschwander: 3-6, 0-6
#3 Bethany Blodgett: 6-1, 6-2
#4 Melissa Ramer: 4-6, 5-7
#5 Taryn Johnson: 5-7, 2-6
#6 Jill Focht: 1-6, 0-6
Doubles 1 - 3
#1 O'Grady/Neuenschwander: 6-8
#2 McFarren/Blodgett: 8-4
#3 Ramer/Kelsey Stichter: 3-8

Two more dancers have left the competition after the August 6 performance show, which featured guest judge Kenny Ortega, some incredible duets, a commitment ceremony involving a rope, and plenty of side-eye from me, namely because….
Malece Miller and Alan Bersten have been eliminated. WHAT? Nigel Lythgoe attempted to soften this blow (?!) by suggesting that they try (try!!) to join the Top 10 tour anyway, as swing dancers or alternates. As if he could pull a few strings and mayyyyyybe sneak them in. As part of the help. AS IF HE ISN'T IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THIS.
It bothers me that Jenna Johnson has landed in the bottom three girls three times now and the judges keep sending her right on through. Why not at least make all of the bottom six dance their solos? Jenna was even wearing her finest dramatic curlicue cape/skirt in anticipation of a possible solo. She was clearly ready to WHOOSH for her life! Let her! It's just weird. I demand equal-opportunity whooshing!
So Jenna, Amy Yakima (a big surprise), Nico Greetham, and Tucker Knox joined those two in the bottom six. The judges immediately sent Jenna and Nico to safety, leaving Tucker and his knee infection, Alan, Malece, and Amy to dahnce for their lives. I'd have kept the visually arresting blonde elf and the baby-faced shirtless ballroom dude over the injured guy and the girl no one seems to be voting for. But oh well.
***Tucker will automatically land in the bottom two guys next week*** since he couldn't dance his duet with Jenna. (Why helloooooo, Alex Wong and his abs!) And speaking of All-Stars and next week — the Top 10 will each pair up with a SYTYCD All-Star for next Tuesday's duets!
Disappointment aside, it was a fantastic night of dance anyway — I got swept up into the magic so many times! Jasmine and Aaron's hip hop?! Paul and Makenzie's contemporary? Oh my God.
Just a quick note before we get started:
Jean-Marc Généreux is totally the Ben Linus of So You Think You Can Dance.
NEXT: Did you uneducated cretins do your homework and watch YouTube?

I have made a facebook page but i and my facebook friend can not see my facebook page without login.
This is my facebook page, when we open this page it automatically comes facebook homepage. Please tell me how can i see my facebook page without login.
I can't see it at all. Have you published the page?
yes, i have published, please check this link after login your facebook account.
It will be opened.
As I said, your page is not working for me what-so-ever. I am always logged in but also tried under my business account, no error, just redirects home as if the page was not set.
where is the option 'Search Visibility' in Facebook page?
I encountered the same as Ted S. The URL redirect me to my homepage instead. Perhaps, you may check the URL validity or whether your account is a valid one?
'Search Visibility', I afraid Facebook does not has the function. Please correct if I am wrong.
Try publishing the page again. make sure that the settings in your page enable others who don't have Facebook accounts to view your page.. it is likely that the visibility settings in your page was set as 'invisible', as this always set as default by FB for security and private purposes for the admin of the page.. This setting, in my opinion, prevents spamming in your page.. But if you want to risk this for the visibility of your page, try to look it in your Page or Account Settings.
yes buddy..whoever in ur friend list can see ur profile when u logout or login...bt by some privacy settings u can disable it...
As the OP has not responded in several weeks I am closing this thread.

Idris Elba proud of female partygoers
Idris Elba has revealed the "juvenile" reason why he made girls take off their shoes at his parties.
The handsome actor is known for roles in TV shows The Wire and Luther and was even rumoured to be the next James Bond.
When he first landed his gig as Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in 2011, the star liked to party hard with as many women as possible.
"I used to live at this house... on a street called Wallace and it was number seven and it had four storeys and every day that I was shooting the first season of Luther we would have parties in there," he reminisced to Handbag.com.
"Ladies used to come in - lots of ladies - but I used to make them leave their shoes at the front door just 'cause then me and my mates would count how many shoes were in the hallway. I know I was really juvenile, but that's what we did."
The 40-year-old is currently single, but has daughter Isan with his ex-wife Kim.
When he does enjoy the odd night out, he makes sure to have his favourite tipple.
"I like my gin with a little bit of cranberry, a little bit of tonic and loads of lime. Squeezed in, stirred a little bit and served with lots of ice," he smiled.

Arsonists Get All The Girls Recording New Album
California act Arsonists Get All The Girls is set to head into the studio and record a new album with Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate. The as-yet-untitled release will be the band's third slab of craziness for Century Media and fourth overall but, this time, vocalist Jared Monnette says the band is developing a brand new sound:
"This record is packed with a metric shit-ton of different sounds, directions, styles and grind. We've really tried to incorporate a new sound while keeping the important elements of AGATG, while letting the past year and half's experience and stories of tour steer the rest of the album. We've been through quite a bit in the recent year, and it's almost impossible to not incorporate all of our travel tales into the new sound. Every song has something special to offer, or a new story to tell that allows anyone listening a temporary escape. If its not the first song that you'll enjoy, then it will be the next. We've taken the next step in progressing our music, and it may be the first into a full sprint."
The band expects to have the new LP ready for a mid-2011 release. Additional details will be announced as they are made available.

"Menace Of The Universe" tracklisting:

2. Damned Hammer
Requiem Finishing Recording On New Album
Switzerland's Requiem has issued the following final studio recording update:
"All vocal parts are recorded and it seems that there will be no fillers just killers on 'Within Darkened Disorder' - new voice and a new vibe to our own and unique style looks like a perfect combination... of course we all hope that you'll like the new CD.
"As you might know nowadays success is controlled through massive marketing and promotion campaigns rather than through the quality of music...however we are absolutely pleased with the new album as we invested everything we had into it...the future lies ahead and we'll see what our current negotiations with a couple of labels will bring...
"That's all for now hope to see you all at one of our shows. Release date of 'WITHIN DARKENED DISORDER' will be announced soon... The final cover artwork of Dan Seagrave will be revealed in a couple of weeks. Thanks for everything and your support...we appreciate big time 'cause it's not self-evident... Cheers for now."

The shows have been terrific, I'm noticing a lot of kids coming out to the shows and singing along to our songs. That's an amazing feeling; all the bands are so much fun to hang out with and everyone on this tour makes each day one to remember. We're all having a blast.
"When I received the news of our first week sales today, I was ecstatic. I was in a mall upon receiving the news, eating with the guys and when I got the word I immediately stood up and gave them the biggest high fives ever. It's such a great feeling when hard work pays off. I have to say thank you to everyone for picking up a copy.
"After this tour we will get home just in time for the holidays. We are playing a very special Christmas hometown show at the Recher Theatre in Towson, MD on Christmas night. It's a free show, so I encourage anyone and everyone in MD to come out and take in the holiday with us.

Bison B.C. Returns To B.C.
In an extremely short amount of time Vancouver, Canada's Bison B.C. have gone from local bar hoping metallers to international headline touring act. With three full length albums released and countless tours throughout North America and Europe Bison B.C. have become an unstoppable force, notorious for its intense live performances. Fresh off an extensive European tour the band returned to its home city of Vancouver to treat its loyal hometown fan-base to undoubtedly one of the city's most destructive concerts it has seen in years.
Having its welcome back show take place at the severely under-rated Biltmore Cabaret meant that the show would be a definite sell out, which it was was well before the doors were to even open. People of all different backgrounds were in attendance; from patch vest metalheads to flannel engulfed hipsters and everyone in between but while the crowd was diverse they all came for one thing, to watch Bison destroy everything in its path. But more about that later. Unfortunately, due to some issues not in my control, I was forced to sit out on the opening act Purple Rhinestone Eagle. I was told they were a female fronted power rock act that kicked out some decent and heavy tunes. That's all I can pretty much say as far as they are concerned. More...

Cephalectomy Working On New Album
Cephalectomy has issued the following announcement about working on a new album:
"As you can see, this is our first website update in over a year. Why? Honestly, because there really hasn't been anything to report. However, we finally have some news to share, so here goes...
"First off, Cephalectomy is working on a new album, it's in it's early stages, so don't expect it any time soon, but it's in the works. One song is almost done and a 2nd is underway. However, with this good news also comes bad news, we are officially calling it quits after the next album. Yes, that's right, our upcoming album will be the last release by Cephalectomy. There had been talks about calling it quits after the release of An Epitaph To Tranquility, however, as happy as we are with that album, we didn't feel it had the chaotic nature that previous releases have had, and we didn't want to end the Cephalectomy legacy on that note.
"Also, we're sad to announce that the next Cephalectomy album will be without vocalist, Peter Mestre. Peter is relocating for work and therefore will be unavailable to contribute on our final release. We wish Peter and his family all the best and thank him for his efforts in the band."

Producer Profiles
El Ceibo - Central de Cooperativas El Ceibo Ltda.
In the 1960's, a Bolivian government-led cooperative, in which many cocoa farmers were forced to join, went bankrupt and, alone, farmers were unfamiliar with the market and could no longer transport their cocoa to major cities. Many deferred to local intermediaries who paid meager but immediate cash for their crop. These conditions led farmers in the early 1970's, beginning in the Alto Beni region of northeastern Bolivia, started forming small cocoa producer cooperatives. In 1977, 37 of these cooperatives united to form the stronger El Ceibo in 1977.
El Ceibo, committed to protecting their native rainforest, became the first certified organic cocoa cooperative in the world in 1988. Utilizing a tiered cultivation system, El Ceibo works to protect against the degradation of their lands using natural and organic methods. Today, El Ceibo farmers grow an estimated 70 percent of the total organic cocoa cultivated in Bolivia. They are also the first to have processed its own cocoa into powder form.
Thanks to Fair Trade, we are able to sell our cocoa at a better, more stable price. These conditions benefit the member families of El Ceibo. By buying our cacao, you are joining us in solidarity, helping us sustain ourselves and drive a fair price for our product. You are encouraging the construction of a more just and sustainable world for all, producers and consumers alike. "
Felipe Cancari Capcha, El Ceibo Member
Children School Fees Comped
The cooperative provides members' children with an allowance that covers school fees.
Joint Body Participation Incentive
El Ceibo covers business travel costs for joint assembly delegates. This provides an incentive for delegates and encourages participation in meetings.
Bonuses for Long-term Employees
El Ceibo awards yearly bonuses for cooperative members 65 years of age and older. In 2006, 97 men and 43 women received a bonus in honor of their long commitment.
Agroecology and Forestry Program
El Ceibo implemented an agroecology and forestry program which focuses on technical assistance, capacity building and institutional strengthening for its members. El Ceibo also offers incentives for organic production. The co-op has created a cacao tree nursery and initiated research on alternative cultivation methods.

"It's looney!" Melissa told SheKnows at this weekend's Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. "But it's the same as any working mom or parent. It's so fun that it's worth it."
With awards season here, the funny mom, who has daughters Vivian, 4, and Georgette, 1, with her husband Ben Falcone, also dished on how she gets red carpet-ready:
"I try to get out of the house without macaroni and cheese [on me]. I wait till the last second to get dressed because I have to avoid the little kid hands down me."

KITZBUEHEL 2005: Hahnenkamm downhill cancelled for safety reasons
KITZBUEHEL 2005: Hahnenkamm downhill cancelled for safety reasonsThe Hahnenkamm downhill at Kitzbuehel has been officially cancelled, a major disappointment for tens of thousands of fans as well as for those ski racers who consider this to be the sport's greatest trophy.
"Due to the heavy snowfalls the downhill was cancelled by the jury for today," said a statement from the organizing committee. "As the snow reports pronounce more snow and rising temperatures there is no possibility to start the downhill today. All works concentrate on the slalom and super G now."
Several inches of fresh snow fell overnight on the course, adding to the snow and rain that had arrived on Thursday and Friday. Up to 400 men from the Austrian army worked on the course all night, and snowcats were moving up and down the notorious final dash to the finish.
The announcement of the cancellation was made at 9:15 a.m, as fans were already pouring off the train in Kitzbuehel. This would be the 65th running of the Hahnenkamm races. One testament to the almost mythical status of this race hill in the Austrian imagination was the fact that fans continued making their way to the finish area and filling the stadium until well after they knew the race was cancelled. "Keine abfahrt" read the signs.
A slalom is scheduled for Sunday, and that race will not be bumped to accomodate the legendary downhill. Organizers say that the race will "likely" be re-located to Kvitfjell, Norway, and bundled in with the World Cup speed races already scheduled for that venue in early March.
Monday is a possible make-up day, and organizers have indicated that it will not be used for downhill. Monday will be reserved for Sunday's slalom if it is cancelled — otherwise it could be used to replace Friday's cancelled super G.
Kitzbuehel's downhill was cancelled in 1993 because of a lack of snow (the slalom and combined were cancelled as well). Since then, bad weather has forced organizers to run the race from a lower start a number of times.
The cancellation may be read as good news for American Daron Rahlves, who hasn't recovered to 100 percent health since his crash last week in Adelboden, Switzerland. But it's unfortunate for Bode Miller, who leads the World Cup standings; as a podium threat in both downhill and slalom, he had a rare chance to gather compounding World Cup points in both races and the combined.
Many World Cup observers also saw this as the last chance for Hermann Maier of Austria to qualify for the world championship downhill at Bormio. Only five Austrians will get to race in that event, and one of them will certainly be World Cup downhill discipline leader Michael Walchhofer, who is defending his world championship title. Johann Grugger is virtually locked-in, having won two downhills this year (including the World Cup at Bormio). Maier is among the Austrian racers competing for the final slots.
Once again, Lasse Kjus of Norway appears to have powers of omniscience. Kjus left town earlier this week, speaking of a bad cold. Last season, he opted out of travelling to Bormio for the downhill that was cancelled there, and came back with energy and training under his belt.

Loan Processing Automation
Make faster, more informed loan decisions.
Incoming loan applications (by email, fax, online or in paper form) are automatically identified based on text and layout. Relevant data is extracted based on pre-defined rules and validated prior to releasing to Microsoft SharePoint.
The documents then enter a workflow process, facilitating faster information sharing between agents, customer service representatives, underwriters and other personnel.

NTUMBA MASSANKA believes his loan spell at Wrexham is having the desired effect and his game is showing signs of improvement.
The 20-year-old striker, who joined Wrexham on loan from Burnley in January until the end of the season, scored his second goal in Saturday's 2-1 win at Braintree Town on his eighth appearance for the Reds.
A substitute for his first three games, Massanka has made five successive starts in attack alongside Izale McLeod, something he is not used to in first team football.
Massanka made 11 substitute appearances during a loan spell with Morecambe earlier in the season and he says a run in the Wrexham side is a huge boost in his development.
"It is going really good," said Massanka, who was recommended to Wrexham boss Dean Keates by former Reds manager Brian Flynn.
"It is different compared to all the other loans I have had because I have not really played as much as I would have liked to and got full games.
"But here, as soon as I got in the side I just wanted to play as many games as possible and I think I have done well.
"The manager and the players have all helped me out so it is good for my development."
Massanka, who made three appearances while on loan at York City last season, added: "Hopefully I keep my place but it doesn't matter who is in the side, it is just about the wins.
"It is great that I am playing games because I felt before I came here, that is what I needed; game time in men's football.
"To get a consistent run of games is good for me and I think I am improving every time I play.
"Hopefully I will score more goals for Wrexham. We are just trying to climb up the table and get as high as possible, and just rack up the wins."
Wrexham got off to the worst possible start as Braintree scored inside the opening 40 seconds but Massanka equalised in the fourth minute and on-loan midfielder Ollie Shenton grabbed a second half winner.
Although delighted to add to the spectacular goal he scored in last month's 3-1 victory over Guiseley, Massanka insists picking up three points was the priority, leaving in-form Wrexham with just one defeat in nine matches.
"It was the worst possible start but I felt that we could definitely turn it around," said Massanka. "We did that and the boys were brilliant.
"It was really good to get another goal but the most important thing was to get the win.
"Braintree is a tough place to come and they are in good form but we are in even better form and picked up another win.
"It was just about improving on our second half performance and we did that."
Massanka converted a cross from McLeod and he came close to a second goal after the break but Braintree goalkeeper Sam Beasant pulled on a brilliant save.
"I just focussed on getting good contact," Massanka said about his goal.
"Because it was on my left foot, I just thought get any contact towards goal and anything can happen. Luckily it went in."
On his second half chance, Massanka added: "The goalkeeper made a brilliant save.
"As soon as I hit it I thought it was going in because I hit it low and on target but he has pulled off a great save."
Massanka was over the moon to see Shenton, on loan from Stoke City, score his first professional goal.
"I was buzzing for him because me and Ollie are room-mates," he added. "It was really good that he got the goal and he kick-starts now. But it was all about getting the win and that is what we did."
Wrexham will aim for a third successive win against play-off contenders Gateshead at The Racecourse on Saturday.
"Hopefully we can get the crowd behind us and get another win," added Massanka. "It is a tough game at home but I am sure we can get something out of it.
"We are on a great run and credit to everyone that has been involved, from the manager and staff down to the players. We have worked our socks off."

Posted Tue May 22nd by Jon Heath
During the offseason, the Denver Broncos brought in two free agent cornerbacks — Tracy Porter (formerly of New Orleans) and Drayton Florence (formerly of Buffalo). Besides their obvious similarity in size (Florence has just one inch and seven pounds on Porter), the two cornerbacks have another trait in common, which may have been deciding factors for Denver.
Both corners openly admit they are most comfortable in press, man coverage. New Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio and Secondary Coach Ron Milus won't be giving away what type of coverage schemes they'll be running this season, but both Porter and Florence were adamant on Tuesday when asked which coverage they prefer.
"I think I bring a physical presence at the corner position. Getting my hands on guys at the line of scrimmage is what I take pride in," Florence noted after practice earlier today. "When you have guys like Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller coming off the edge you obviously want to throw the timing off. I think we'll all mesh well together."
Last season, while Dumervil and Miller averaged 1.38 sacks a game, Florence started in all sixteen games and finished the year with 12 passes defended, three interceptions and a forced fumble. Now in Denver, Florence will be competing for playing time in the Broncos secondary. Whoever starts across from Champ Bailey this fall will benefit from Denver's ferocious pass rush.
One of the players that will be competing with Florence is Porter, who also prefers press coverage. "[My strength is] my press ability to get my hands on a receiver, (and) being able to run with their routes," said Porter.
Porter started in fourteen games last season and defended nine passes while recording one interception and forcing two fumbles. A fifth year veteran, Porter is learning from Bailey just as much as the younger corners are.
"It's been my second practice (with Bailey), so I'm just trying to soak up as much as I can. Any question I think of on the field, I run and ask him. He answers it to the best of his ability because at the end of the day we just want each other to succeed," said the twenty-five year old Porter.
"He's a great pro, true pro veteran. You can learn a lot from a guy like Champ, seeing all the route combinations," added Florence. While learning from Bailey, Porter and Florence have also been giving tips to the younger players in Denver's secondary, including rookie Omar Bolden and second-year cornerback Chris Harris.
Bolden–Denver's fourth round draft selection–has quickly become a fan favorite while Harris–who was signed by the team as an undrafted college free agent last year–is coming off a season in which he had secured a starting nickel position as a rookie.
This season, there is a possibility of Bailey, Porter, Florence, Bolden and Harris all being on the field at the same time during six defensive back packages for passing situations. With a good mix of youth and veteran experience, there is reason to be optimistic about Denver's secondary.
"Everybody is getting to know each other," Florence said. "We're learning the defense, making the right calls, making the right adjustments. As we progress I think we'll be good."

not bad
pretty good,kept me entertained for a while,still,needed more upgrades,like LonLon said. it was buggy,like i fell down a hole once and was able to jump back up,but i understand you guys are tryin to fix that lot ;)
the sound wasn't too annoying either,the shield clinks and music was ok,i liked that
the fights were a bit samey,and could of done with stronger enemies,different attacks and a boss or two,but apart from that,very good,nicely done,got a 4 from me :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
pretty good
it would have been nice if the character would react faster to the buttons i pressed. it is still pretty good and very basic which is cool.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I liked it
The programming and art was good. However, there were a few things missing. It seemed like each fight between characters was repetitive and easy. I like how you had a shop and all but you needed more items in there. New Sheilds, Helmets, and maybe some HP power-ups. This was a really good game but with a few slight adjustments it could've been amazing.

Federal income tax tables show the percentage of income or tax rate that is paid according to the amount of income a person earns and the year in which that person earned it. Tax rates are approximate and calculated down to the last dollar, so often you will actually pay somewhat less as a percentage of income that your actual tax bracket suggests.
A number of websites and calculators are available to anyone who wants to play around with a federal income tax table and see how they work.
The Tax Foundation posts a chart that shows federal income tax tables all the way back to the year 1913 at http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html. It is fascinating to see how income tax rates have changed from year to year and throughout history. For instance, in 1913, a married couple filing jointly who made over $500,000 would be taxed at 7% of their income. Today that the tax rate for that same couple would be at least 37%, (except that they would almost certainly take lots of deductions and find ways to pay much less; the tax code is much more horrifically complex now).
Moneychimp.com offers a good online calculator that you can use to find your own tax rate and tax bracket, and does a good job of explaining why your tax bracket isn't necessarily the same as the percentage you will pay in income tax. You can use that calculator, among others, at http://www.moneychimp.com/features/tax_brackets.htm.
Dinkytown.net has tons of great calculators, including federal income tax table calculators that let you see what you would owe the federal government according to how much you earn. These are available for free at http://www.dinkytown.net/java/Tax1040.html.
Wikipedia, now an old standby for internet info on practically anything, posts a great article about kinds of income, how federal income taxes evolved, and how federal income tax tables work, as well as lots of other great facts and historical notes on the topic at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States.
It may interest you to know that the United States did not always have a federal income tax department. The idea first took hold during the Civil War as a means of funding the war itself. Taxes were charged only on money made through the rental of property or dividend income, and as such were actually a tax on personal property.
In 1913 Congress passed the 16th Amendment, which states that:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Protests ensued, and some tax protesters to this day maintain that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified, thereby making the assessing of tax on earned income by the federal government against the law.
In 2007 William J. Benson was convicted of fraud for selling an internet document that purported to present a legal argument showing that federal income tax was not valid based on the failure to properly ratify the 16th Amendment.
If you think you might not have to pay federal income tax because of this sort of argument, you might want to think twice about that. Wesley Snipes had to think twice about it, and will likely think about it some more from his prison cell over the next two years.
The best source of all for federal income tax tables, and anything regarding federal income tax or questions about federal income tax, is the official IRS website, www.irs.gov. If you earned less than $54,000, you can even file your taxes electronically for free there. They have all the federal income tax tables there anyone could ever wish to see, and then some.
And, yes, you do have to pay them.

Alexi Lalas' Top 10 Ratt Songs
We'll admit it, we were slightly surprised when we noticed soccer star Alexi Lalas repeatedly professing his love for Ratt on Twitter. So we asked if he'd take a momentary break from recording his soccer- and music-themed podcast 'The Shot' to contribute a list of his favorite songs from the group. Well, look what showed up in our mail — a wonderfully written and well-thought out tribute to a band we agree doesn't get nearly enough attention. Enjoy!
"I'm a life-long Ratt fan. Ratt is, without question, my favorite band. I say that with no hesitation, hipster irony or inside joke smirk. From the moment I first heard them as a teenager, tucked away in the Detroit suburbs, they were mine. Never as raw as Motley, never as glam as Poison and never as pop as Bon Jovi, Ratt just seemed to perfectly fit what I wanted from a Sunset Strip rock band. Instantly recognizable vocals; guitar riffs and solos that resonated even after the song was done; big drums up front in the mix; bass that laid down an unwavering foundation; and great production that pulled it all together guaranteeing it would infest your ears. It was all there for me. And even now as a forty-two year old father, my love of Ratt shows no signs of abating. However, asking me to pick Ratt's 10 best songs invites far more pain than joy. I've tried to come up with the 10 that best represent why I love this band. My one concession to my obsession is that I omitted 'Round And Round' which is, to most, Ratt's calling card and finest moment. The song remains a pure pop-rock gem. It's iconic and deserves to be separated. I hope you understand."
'Shame Shame Shame'
Stephen Pearcy just sounds wonderfully dirty and sleazy throughout this song. As Bobby Blotzer works the hi-hat in verses that creep along Warren DeMartini is ferociously toiling away with a riff that darts in and out pushing the upbeat. Never has Pearcy sounded more like what I imagine a rodent would sound like (1:56). The ending vocal breakdown (4:25) is the final scolding to whomever Pearcy has been dressing down.
'Eat Me Up Alive'
Ratt's first album in over 10 years… and it was very good. If it had been released after 'Detonator' the good times may have kept on rolling. 'Eat Me Up Alive' is what 'You're In Love' never evolved into. It's also reflects what has always seemingly been a constant struggle that Pearcy has waged trying to reconcile his desire to be more metal despite his obvious pop sensibilities. The verses and pre-chorus are raw and dissonant but the chorus is the pure pop payoff… but like a Reeses cup, it works.
'Sweet Cheater'
Every starts somewhere. This is Ratt when they were still stuck in the cellar. Raw, unpolished and about as thrash as they ever got. The kind of song you want to hear live in a sweaty club, with bad sound, alongside 500 other juvenile delinquents.
'Luv Sick'
This album is not for the faint of heart but there is some quality, like 'Luv Sick.' DeMartini handles all guitars and he goes to work. Solo's flying in left and right and a lead riff that writes itself. He doubles up the bluesy lead throughout (0:10) with a funky wah sound adding some texture that we hadn't heard before. But the chorus is vintage Ratt and the breakdown (1:09) is instantly a return to familiar Ratt territory. Yes, the fade out jam (3:33) lasts too long but it's DeMartini, and you feel like you're almost sitting in his den while he hammers away…which is not a bad place to be.
'No Surprise'
This is an obscure song and I may be the only one who appreciates it, but since I'm writing this column I get at least one guilty pleasure. I love the vocals on this song. From the acapella intro to the choruses, the harmonies are interesting throughout. Pearcy's scream while literally singing "makes me want to scream" is like a lion's roar (1:27).
'Nobody Rides for Free'
The band didn't write this song and at the time of recording Crosby had departed. Who knows how much these factors contributed, but this song shows some dynamics and spacing that made it unique and memorable. It was a a Ratt song that breathed, a rare thing indeed, and maybe the circumstances enabled that to happen. The suspended chord at the beginning of each verse is beautiful (1:05). We see the bluesy part of DeMartini peek out for a moment (2:10) with a cool economy of notes that I like even better than the traditional solo that he later delivers. It was included in the 'Point Break' soundtrack, so it's fitting that the song always seemed to have an undercurrent of danger. This song doesn't make me think of the party, more the consequences after the party.
'Body Talk'
Arranged by Juan Croucier this song is multiple pieces that somehow work together in the end. DeMartini's clean intro and the way it seemingly switches from major to minor in the same key between verse and chorus almost make it 3 songs in one. Pearcy does some interesting things with the vocals to avoid repetition like the change in the way he phrases the title at the end (2:57). I never feel like I've completely listened to this song until Blotzer's double-time fadeout off-beat snare fill has come and gone (3:34). It's that cool.
'Wanted Man'
C'mon, who doesn't love cowboys!? If Cellar was your first Ratt album then this was the first song you heard when you laid down the needle. It's the scream that gets you. Yes, Pearcy's scream at the beginning (0:21) was all I needed. All compressed and chorused out, it's the harbinger of the perfect storm to come. The scream returns with the final chorus of the song (2:55) and to this day when I sing along I silently hi-five myself for hitting the note. The awkward phrasing that Pearcy uses when singing "cause I'm a (pause) a wanted man" had me perplexed for years but it all made sense eventually when I realized what he was actually saying. Incidentally, check out the pre-chorus that they slipped in before the abbreviated second chorus (2:03). Subtle but deadly.
It all starts with the swirling, massive delay intro from DeMartini and is followed by, for my money, the quintessential Pearcy vocal performance. Simple chorus equally built for the car or arena and huge harmonies that demand it be sung. The high harmony note on the chorus lead-in complements the return of the intro riff and pushes everything perfectly into the larger-than-life chorus. Bliss ensues.
'Lay It Down'
The best and most memorable DeMartini opening riff in the Ratt catalogue. I have it as a ringtone and I have even used it in business settings as my intro music. It drips authority, letting you know that something big is coming and when it arrives, aided by the drop D tuning, it's bigger than you even imagined. It's hard to make a kick drum performance interesting, but Blotzer manages to do so on this song. I love the little things. Like the backup vocals randomly ghosting in ahead of the "Lay it down" chorus lines (2:55). Also, listen for Robbin Crosby's demonic baritone backup vocal cutting through the mix and adding the human element. Equal amounts of sugar and spice, sinners and saints, 'Lay It Down' is the perfect Ratt song.

Art appreciation is incredibly evident in Tale of Tales' most recent title, an artistic and captivating journey, Bientôt l'été.
Bientôt l'été is a simulation game about two lovers, connected through an advanced virtual-reality system, who are separated within the program between vast oceans, deep space, and even, it seems, the expansiveness of the human imagination. The story is told with fragments and extracts from certain pieces of literature, which is all driven by the player.
The game projects the initial image of being an audio-book spoken with an engrossing and enchanting tone, except there is the addition of being enthralled further through the interactivity of it being a game. Bientôt l'été, similar to many of Tale of Tales' other games, such as The Path and The Graveyard, appears to have been very well thought out and not only a game, but a piece of art created to savor and enjoy.
You can purchase the game on Tale of Tales' site. Of course, feel welcome to follow Tale of Tales on Twitter.
