Narrow your search
The budget "phablet" comes with an 8-megapixel camera, a 1.2GHz quad-core chipset, and LG's signature rear controls.
Run-of-the-mill specs paired with sleek, minimalist designs make the LG G Pads attractive budget buys, but there's little to distinguish them from similarly performing slates in the same price range.
The LG G Watch attempts to bring you the future on your wrist, but with its generic design, unimpressive battery life, and unpolished early software, you're better off waiting to see what else is around the bend.
A tablet for a dollar? AT&T's latest bundled offer makes it so.
For $100 you'll be hard-pressed to find another portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers as much bass as the G-Boom.
Although the Motorola Moto G with 4G LTE is a bit pricier than its 3G-only sibling, it still has one of the best displays in the budget arena, its processor makes operation enjoyably smooth and its rounded, compact body is both comfortable and attractive. If you're after an affordable all-round entrance into the high speeds of 4G, you've come to the right place.
The LG G Pro 2 delivers plenty of power, a huge and lovely screen, and a feature-packed camera, but the Galaxy Note 3's stylus and superior styling give it the edge.
The G-Dock and G-Drive introduce a new level of flexibility in external storage, and performance is fast.
Despite a novel construction and scuff-proof exterior, the LG G Flex's doesn't flex enough muscle against the Samsung Galaxy Round or the Note 3.
You can't beat the price of the Moto G, but the more expensive and more powerful Nexus 5 remains your shrewdest unlocked Android option.

Supes scramble to find TIC deal
Some San Francisco supervisors are scrambling to find an acceptable compromise that would prevent condo-conversion legislation by Sups. Scott Wiener and Mark Farrell from becoming a bitter battle that could be a no-win situation for centrists.
Board President David Chiu is meeting with tenant groups and trying to craft an alternative to the proposal, which would allow some 2,000 tenancy in common units to convert to condominiums. Wiener says the legislation is needed to provide housing stability to people in the almost-but-not-quite-a-condo world of TICs. Tenant activists who have met with Chiu say he's discussing ways to limit speculation, which might include a five-year ban on the resale of converted condos. But that won't be anywhere near enough for the tenant groups.
In fact, tenant and landlord groups are both talking to Sup. Norman Yee, who will be one of the swing votes, and who could introduce a series of amendments to the Wiener/Farrell bill that would be more palatable to tenants.
"They've had a couple of meetings," Yee told me. "We're just examining the issues to see if there's a compromise. It would be great if we could work something out so the supervisors could feel better about voting on this."
But any deal, Ted Gullicksen of the San Francisco Tenants Union told me, would require "structural reform of the future condo-conversion process."
Yee could probably get away with that -- he's never relied on landlords or real-estate interests for his campaign money, and there aren't that many TIC owners in his district, which is largely single-family homes. This won't be a vote that will make or break his future in District 7.
On the other hand, it could be a huge issue for Sup. London Breed, who represents a district with a huge majority of tenants and the most progressive voting record in the city. Breed insists that she hasn't made up her mind on the issue, and she told me she agrees she's on the hot seat here: Much of her political and financial support came from Plan C and real-estate interests that want more condo conversions, but she would face furious policial fallout if she voted against tenants. "I am open to a compromise, but only if it's good policy for the city," she said.
Supervisors David Campos and John Avalos are strongly against the TIC bill, and it's likely that Sups. Eric Mar (who got immense support from tenants in his recent re-election) and Jane Kim (who didn't support the measure in committee) will oppose it unless it's altered in a way that tenants can accept.
Naturally, Farrell and Wiener are on the yes side, as is, almost certainly, Sup. Carmen Chu.
That leaves Breed, Chiu, Yee, and Sup. Malia Cohen -- and three of them have to vote Aye for the bill to pass. Chiu wants to run for state Assembly from the tenant-heavy side of the city, but, as always, he's looking for a way to avoid an ugly fight.
The problem is that the tenants aren't going to sign off on anything modest; if they're going to accept the conversion of 2,000 units that used to be rental housing, they're going to want to be absolutely certain it doesn't happen again -- and that there are new rules in place that halt the rampant assault on existing rent-controlled housing.
So either the folks in the center -- Yee, Breed, Chiu, and Cohen -- are going to have to force the landlords to accept some long-term reforms that they won't like, or politicans like Breed are going to be forced to take a yes or not vote that could come back to haunt them.
This post, like many others from SFBG, seems like a warning shot toward the BOS to remind them how they need to fall in line or face the wrath of some constituency SFBG purports to speak for.
Funny how Wiener seems to ignore this stuff and was profiled in 3 magazine articles this week.
"This post, like many others from SFBG, seems like a warning shot toward the BOS..."
Ha ha ha that's not the warning shot Commish. This is...
"A Wikileaks Cable Explained The Money Laundering Formula That Turned Macau Into A Gigantic Economic Success"
"Shares of Macau-based casinos got slammed in the last day amid reports of the mainland cracking down on the junket operators that ferry rich players into high-roller rooms.

Trying. To. Be. Serious.
The SFTU should focus on issues that might actually affect tenants rather than try and hurt a large class of homeowners who are all recent tenants anyway.
You've made this comment how many times now? 40? 60? Over 100? Do you really think most of the people who read these posts are so mindless?
The issue with this legislation is that it sends a loud and clear signal to the real estate industry that this is the future path for converting tens of thousands MORE rent-contolled units. If this group of supervisors can be persuaded it's a good thing to do now, why wouldn't they or another group of future supervisiors think it should be okay 5 or 10 years from now too? The carnage against SF's most affordable long-term housing - and the attack on the tenants in 2-6 unit buildings who currently reside in them - would be long and persistent until another big build of up TIC units could be converted en masse.
These units are for the city's future, not commodities that specualtors and current politicians can play around with to give economic windfalls to the converters. These are the housing units that let SF be a world class city, allowing waves upon waves of smart, often young and talented people wash through the city, learning and growing as they pass through. They often leave some small or large permanent contribution to SF in their wake, just as the next wave of people who will pass along its shores living in these relatively long-term affordable housing units protected by rent-control.
Before anything is done with these units the city should be demanding state law changes to require that whenever a former rent-controlled rent (pre June 1978) is rented out ANYTIME in the future, regardless of its condo or any other "post-conversion" status, it becomes subject to the price protections of the rent-control law. And if the unit is rented out within the a 10-year window after condo conversion, it automatically reverts back to the rent of the last tenants, plus whatever annual rent increases that would have been allowed over the years, giving first occupancy preference to the former tenants if they were evicted without cause.
be repeated with any frequency? There isn't any. It is a one-time thing to clear the backlog and make millioms for the city, while harming nobody.
These units are already in the pipeline. They will get converted soon enough since the longer a building is in the condo pool the more chances there are it will be selected. The relatively small amount of extra fees paid to allow this conversion are literally chump change compared to the minimum $2-5 HUNDRED million dollars in value created by the conversion of 2,000 units, at an increase of $100-250,000 per unit after condo conversion.
You either don't understand the easy money that can be made in the real estate industry by converting rent-controlled buildings to TICs, or you know it all too well and are just playing dumb with the audience. I suspect the latter.
Without absolute prohibitons on converting ANY rent-controlled units to condos in the future, of course we'll continue to see the subtle and not-so-subtle evicitons of people from rent-controlled units in the process of eventual condo conversion. On a 4-unit building it's an easy increase of over $500-1,000,000 just on the condo conversion, so of course lots of people are drawn to the easy money.
This will demonstrate the existence of light at the end of the tunnel and give the green light for the creation of even more TICs.
IOW, typical SFBG position
Criminal banksters were rewarded instead of punish and they've more than doubled down on their stupid TBTF business model and are now given passes on criminal liability related to their financing of the illegal drug trade.
Saves having to actually think.
"allowing waves upon waves of smart, often young and talented people wash through the city"
...and then allow these people to age indefinitely in place in these units, denying them to new "young and talented people".
Because nothing says "young and talented" like a 55 year old, whose only significant life achievement is to hang on to a rent-controoled apartment for decades!
"Because nothing says "young and talented" like a 55 year old, whose only significant life achievement is to hang on to a rent-controoled apartment for decades!"
...except perhaps a 55 year old whose life achievement is to lose everything to a slimy real estate hustler.
"NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Despite rising home prices, more than 30% of borrowers, or close to 16 million homeowners, were underwater on their mortgage during the first quarter, according to Zillow."
And there always will be.
The rest of us just get on with our lives, and don't try and tell others what they should do.
That's most of what you do here.
LESS telling people what they can and cannot do.
the consistent authoritarianism of your commentary.
"No, I'm a strong supporter of less government"
Less government means your real estate crashes.
- We've Nationalized the Home Mortgage Market. Now What? -
I would support provisions which attempt to limit speculation. This is about creating more secure and stable home ownership.
any property owner to sell their property at any time if they wish to.
The unit can sell multiple times, no problem, but tight restrictions to ensure the unit stays under rent control if ever rented out in the future is a reasonable regulation.
You people really are clueless. Do you even understand why the Ellis Act came about in the first place?
the language of a bigot.
"You people" as in "you Progressives". Following your logic Eddie, all the Progressives here are bigots because they use terms like "you right-wingers" or "you moderates" as pejoratives.
Enough with all the divisiveness. This isn't about progressives and moderates. We need to stop the bickering and acrimony and come together in our common interests, like the Guests are saying. So let's just scrap this divisive class warfare legislation altogether. All it's done is reopen old landlord-tenant battles.
practicing class warfare. Envy is no rational basis for public policy.
values of condominiums.
And increasing those property values once sends a flashing green light to future rent controlled apartment-to-TIC flippers that the more they bait into these crappy deals, the bigger the constituency demanding special treatment and laxer conversion rules over and again.
"They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate countless worlds, and we fall back. Not again. Not this time. The line must be drawn here! This far, no farther! And I will make them pay for what they have done!"
says Marcos from the comfort of his Mission condo. Hypocrite
No hypocrisy at all, the people who converted our building played by the rules, did not scream and whine to demand special treatment by changing the rules to bestow upon them six figures in equity measured in evictions.
You are depriving tenants of affordable housing.
he wilfully refuses to make his unit available to low-income tenants at an arrodable rent. And because he occupies a unit that used to be a rent-controlled unit.
condo owners envy the ever greater security of a SFH. Everyone wants what they don't have, but nobody is harmed by a TIC converting to condo.
They should have moved to Oakland. Plenty of cheap condos there. I can't affrod a condo in Aspen either.
move to Oakland. don't ask a SF owner to subsidize your rent.
Renters are subsidizing their mortgages. I'm fine with paying a fair price for their product -cover expenses, maybe even make some money; but I don't think it's right to ask me to subsidize landlords' whole lives.
There's a big difference between rent control and TIC conversion legislation. I don't support rent control just because it helps poor people. I support it for primarily two reasons:
1. It's good for *all* of us collectively, because it ensures diversity in the city
2. It regulates prices to something more fair. I believe in the ancient principle of "fair price for goods."
TIC conversion does neither of these things. It's just a giveaway to a tiny special interest, at the cost of the common good.
The fact that it is his landlord doing it via an enforced control of rent rather than the government via a Section 8 voucher makes little difference, except that the taxpayers don't have to find the cash.
Nobody really cares about diversity, least of all the endless parade of white male liberals with rent-controlled flats who support rent control just so they can live in a place that they cannot afford.
the same lie about what constitutes a subsidy after every article. In my neighborhood, numerous Latino and other minority families live in rent-controlled apartments.
Or all your neighbors? Is it a common thing for you to talk to your neighbors about how much they pay for rent, mortgage etc...?
I was just countering the argument that only white people live in rent-controlled apartments. I talk with my friends and neighbors about all kinds of things. I know for sure that anyone living in our 20 plus unit apartment building lives in a rent-controlled apartment, and Latino families live in many of those units.
Is that it?
But I know that I don't like you.
You do judge people on the basis of their ethnicity and you're fascinated by me - your comments clearly illustrate both.
It is pretty easy to figure out the tenancy of a building.
I wouldn't know as I own a SFH. But I have friends who make a lot of money who live in rent controlled units in buildings which I'd previously never believed were filled with programmers and attorneys making $150,000+ per year and bragging about their rent controlled dumps.
Tenancy as in rental, condo or TIC. You can always look a parcel up to see if it has been subdivided into condo.

An eastern Kentucky disability lawyer is denying accusations that he collaborated with a former West Virginia judge to improperly award disability benefits.
The Appalachian News-Express reports attorney Eric C. Conn denied wrongdoing in a statement sent out by his law office, which is located in Stanville near the West Virginia border.
The accusations against him were in a report released Monday by congressional investigators. It accused him of scheming with retired administrative law Judge David B. Daugherty in Huntington to approve more than 1,800 disability cases from 2006 to 2010.
"By 2011, Mr. Conn and Judge Daugherty had collaborated on a scheme that enabled the judge to approve, in assembly-line fashion, hundreds of clients for disability benefits using manufactured medical evidence," reads the report by the staff of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
Conn declined to answer questions during a Senate hearing, asserting his constitutional right against self-incrimination. Daugherty left the hearing before being called to testify.
The statement from Conn details his long law career.
"I have practiced Social Security disability law for 20 years," he said. "I have advertised extensively and represented every claimant to the best of my ability. When changes in the law occurred, I studied those changes in an effort to better represent the people who put their faith in me. I have served my clients with honor and dignity.
"While I am not now at liberty, on the advice of counsel, to fully address all of the accusations against me, in due course, the truth will be forthcoming. For now, I request that public judgment be withheld until all the facts are known."

News: 2Pac Biopic Director Now Has All Eyez On Eminem
Tuesday, Jun 7, 2011 1:00PM
Training Day director Antoine Fuqua has reportedly dropped out of the upcoming 2Pac biopic to pursue a new boxing movie entitled Southpaw , slated to feature rapper-turned-actor Eminem.
Details of the sudden directorial change landed online this week.
Just over a year ago we heard director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter, Brooklyn's Finest) was set to helm a biopic about the late rapper Tupac Shakur. That project was supposed to begin production last September, but for some reason still hasn't gotten off the ground. Now 24 Frames reports that although Fuqua was still slated to direct the film as of last month, apparently he has since stepped away from the project and has moved onto another one with a living hip-hop artist. Apparently the director is now circling Southpaw, a new boxing drama which already has Marshall Mathers, or rather Eminem, attached to star. (First Showing)
Additional reporting claims that finalizing the deal to bring Fuqua over has not yet been completed.
Fuqua is set to come aboard Southpaw, a fictional boxing drama written and conceived by "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter and starring the Detroit rapper, said a source briefed on the film who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about it publicly. The DreamWorks film aims to shoot later this year. Fuqua has no formal deal in place as yet. [Update, 6:52 p.m.: A person close to Fuqua said the two still must work out a number of deal points.] A studio spokeswoman declined comment. (Los Angeles Times)
Last month, Eminem hinted at his plans to make a return to the big screen after debuting in 2002's 8 Mile blockbuster hit.
"There are some things in the [works], a couple of scripts," Eminem answered. "I guess it's more so of just waiting now to see how they come together. Obviously it's gotta be something that I feel is dope enough to make me want to say, 'OK, let me put the mic down for a second and go do this movie.' There are some things that are in the works. I guess we'll just see how they come together." (RapFix)
While Fuqua's directorial spot may be open for the Pac biopic, rapper-turned-actor Soulja Boy Tell Em has already shown interest in playing the late hip-hop mogul.
"How that whole thing came about, I was doing the 'Juice' mixtape and that got out. I'm with William Morris Agency and they sent me an email, the subject was 'Tupac,' so I clicked on it," Soulja Boy explained in an interview. "They were interested in having me for the role. I told them I was going to let them know. After that, I got this offer for this part for this movie called 'Officer Down' so I've been here in Connecticut [shooting]. I was on set with this actor Stephen Dorff and he was like, 'Yeah man, you should do that [play Tupac].' This is like really my first big movie, Lionsgate Films in theaters where people are going to see me acting. I was kind of hesitant [to audition for the Tupac film] but they told me that Tupac's mom is on board with the movie. That was one of the things that I was like, 'Hey, as long as his moms is cool with it I can consider it.'" (The Boom Box)
No further details have been revealed as of now.

It's the off-season in high school football but you can chalk up a win for Wren while Abbeville has one slip away. Not a game, but a quarterback.
Rising junior QB and major prospect Kelly Bryant (6-3, 200), who led the Panthers to the Little 2A state championship game last season, has transferred to Wren, Golden Hurricanes coach Jeff Tate confirms to 7 On Your Side.
The Greenwood Index-Journal first reported the news.
Bryant, who has offers from Clemson, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Appalachian State, and N.C. State, according to the Index-Journal, told Tate he chose Wren because of its academic reputation and he wants to play in a passing offense for his final two seasons at the high school level. Wren uses a spread offense. Abbeville runs the option.
According to Tate, Bryant will live with his legal guardian in the Wren district.
Abbeville coach Jamie Nickles tells the Index-Journal he was not aware of Bryant's reasons for transfering but says he wishes him the best. Bryant was unavailable for comment.
Tate says a Wren guidance counselor told him this past Monday that Bryant had enrolled. He says he was pleasantly surprsied and had never met Bryant and had only seen highlights of Bryant on local highlights shows. Bryant and Tate met for the first time at a team workout Tuesday.
The SCHSL must approve all transfers for a player to be eligible to play immediately. Tate says he'll send Bryant's paper work to the league early next week but isn't sure of the timetable of when they'll render their ruling on whether he's eligible to play in games this season or would have to wait until next year. The league office is closed this week for the July 4th holiday.
High school practice begins in about a month but teams are active during the summer with organized workouts and seven-on-seven passing drills against other schools.
Tate had a returning starting quarterback in rising senior Jacob Clary. He says his initial plan is to put both Bryant and Clary in the backfield at the same time.

The city of Walnut Creek has plans to float a couple of islands next week.
After that, who knows? Maybe the next season of Survivor can be Survivor — Walnut Creek.
Just kidding. The islands aren't that big.
City staff, assisted by enthusiastic volunteers, on Tuesday plans to launch two floating islands made out of certified non-toxic, recycled plastic to create a habitat for fish and wildlife in the cement pond just north of the community center at Heather Farm Park. The islands are "roundish," measuring 10 feet by 10 feet, roughly 100 square feet, said Mike Vickers, public services manager for Walnut Creek.
The BioHaven floating islands have been used successfully by many agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, according to a city news release.
For months, the city has been working with Walnut Creek Open Space Foundation and Aquatic Artscapes to select plants for the islands. The Diablo Valley Fly Fishing Club will assist with planting and island launch.
In the initial stages, as fledgling plants are supported by mulch, the island plantings will be vulnerable, said Vickers. In the early going the islands will have poles and nets hanging from them to protect plants from the park's ubiquitous geese.
If the islands are successful, Vickers said, the city might investigate using more islands in the nature lake to the north in the park.
Tuesday's schedule:
- 10 a.m. Islands are placed on shore
- 10:30 a.m. Planting begins on first island
- 12 noon Planting begins on second island
- 1:30 p.m. Islands are launched into the pond
Vickers supplied the following list of plants for the islands.

Passion Pit, Icona Pop @ Madison Square Garden, NYC 2/8/13
Passion Pit
Despite Friday's blizzard, Passion Pit played Madison Square Garden in support of their Gossamer tour. Icona Pop and Matt & Kim opened the show, and one wonders how this indie synthpop ticket managed to book the massive venue. Passion Pit played a mix of new and old songs, returning to the stage for an encore rendition of their 2008 hit "Sleepyhead." Check out Luis Ruiz's photos of the show above.

Enroll Now!
This course was more intense than I had anticipated but rewarding beyond measure! I believe it has provided a solid foundation for using Flash. Thank you.
Good job by an accomplished instructor with good insight into what helps students learn the material. Style was comfortable and relaxed. Good "tone."
This is my first online course and I would recommend it. I will be taking other courses with you, I have friends that have paid so much more and have gotten less out of their courses, Thanks!
I've enjoyed this introduction to Flash tremendously and appreciate how effectively you communicate each lesson.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course and wish to take the intermediate Flash CS5 course.
This is my first online class and the first schooling I have had in almost 20 years. I really enjoyed this course.
I was very impressed by the enthusiasm, knowledge, willingness to help and character of the instructor.
I wanted to tell you how much I've learned from your class. I will be signing up for the advanced class. This has been a wonderful class.
I found this course to be far superior to material published by Adobe, especially the Adobe video series (which by comparison seemed haphazard and poorly organized.) This course presents an organized, "start to finish" approach using a typical example of a Flash project which illustrates all the basic and essential capabilities of Flash. I also appreciated the author's comments which often give a back story or historical context as to why a particular feature developed in a particular way, or why it acts the way it does. I would highly recommend this class to anyone as an introduction to the subject.
This course was very well organized and planned. I really liked the additional assignments as a way to practice the new skills learned from completing the projects.

Investing in American Jobs
At Walmart, we believe in making a difference on the issues our customers and communities care about. We believe we can create more American jobs by supporting more American manufacturing. Jump-starting the manufacturing industry and rebuilding the middle class requires a national effort by companies, industry leaders, lawmakers and others.Together, we can help spark a revitalization of U.S.-based manufacturing. By making production more affordable and feasible in the United States, we can bring our customers more U.S.-made products and manufacturers can create more jobs in America.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment
According to data from our suppliers, items that are made, sourced or grown right here in America already account for about two-thirds of what we spend to buy products at Walmart U.S. But there is room to do more.
We are committed to American renewal. In January 2013, Walmart announced it will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S. products in 10 years in an effort to grow U.S. manufacturing and encourage the creation of U.S. jobs.
When you add up what we spend each year, our pledge is to buy an additional $250 billion in American products.
We will accomplish this by working with suppliers to:
- Increase what we already buy of U.S. manufactured goods
- Source "new to Walmart" U.S. manufactured goods
Re-shore the manufacturing of goods we currently buy by facilitating and accelerating efforts of our suppliers
Our Progress
Our Progress
Since January 2013, we've met with hundreds of our suppliers and visited dozens of factories across the U.S. and around the world. View some of the announcements made so far.

In August 2013,
we held Walmart's first U.S. Manufacturing Summit, attended by 500

I admit, I have shitted on Paulie so many times but recently he has won me over. His commentating is beautiful and even with the lack of power he has he still goes out and fights his soft fisted ass off! Paulie has experience and can box, good foot work and heart; on the other hand we have Adrien. I am starting to lose my liking for Adrien because he tries to hard and his antics are a little annoying. However, I can not deny the dude's power and skill set. I do not want to see Magic man take a beating. His punches will not hurt Adrien maybe he can out box him but I honestly think Paulie should fight someone else. But then again Paulie doesn't back down and I appreciate that, at the same time he should think is this a fight that I really want? By the way, what network would they be fighting on if they do fight?

It's also programs coming thru now that gives these youngins the option of learning MMA or Boxing here in Chicago. It's a gym in Englewoond that's a part of the program and it's really helping the community. Too many of these youths want to shoot instead of talking out their dispute or just shooting a fair one and getting up and walking a way

Mystic — The Hampton Inn has been shut down after a sprinkler pipe froze and broke in the building's attic this morning, causing extensive water damage.
The hotel will remain closed while repairs are underway, according to Old Mystic Fire Chief Ken Richards.
No one was injured, but the broken pipe cause water damage to the first, second and third floors of the building, said Richards Sunday morning.
Richards said approximately 30 guest rooms at the hotel, which is located at Hendel Drive and Route 27, were affected by the broken pipe and six were severely damaged. All guests have been moved to other local hotels, he said.
Old Mystic firefighters were originally called to the hotel at 4:50 a.m. to check out an odor of something burning but did not find anything. Another alarm came in at 7:42 a.m., at which time they found water damage to the ceiling.
The firefighters were still on scene at 11 a.m., moving in and out of a hotel lobby littered with pieces of crumbled dry wall. Water dripped from the lobby's ceiling.
Specialized equipment for water removal was called in from Mystic Fire Department, Quiambaug Fire Company, Oswegatchie Waterford Fire Department, Montville Fire Department and Niantic Fire Department, according to Richards.
Building Official Wayne Greene was on the scene Sunday morning.

My husband wants sex, but I don't. What should I do?
My husband has made it clear that he finds me as desirable as ever and wants to continue having sex during our pregnancy. But I feel too big, tired, and unattractive to get in the mood. How can I explain this to him without hurting his feelings or making him feel deprived?

Hi Ladies my wife is 20 weeks right now and her sexual decline started at about 15 weeks and she wants nothing to do with sex or anything that has to do with sex and i mean NOTHING she tells me she doesnt fell pretty or the thought of sex makes her wanna throw up. I plan on being with my wife forever so this short period of time i have to deal with is nothing when you compare it to the rest of our lives. besides i got her pregnant i did this to her so i figure if she has to go through this than so do I and i'll waite till shes ready all i can do is support her and make sure she know how beautiful i think she is and how much i love her. So as i can completly relate to your men at least they get at least once in a while if gotten it 2 times in 20 weeks but thats ok were goin through this togetther and i realize that its not all about me.posted 05/19/2010 by laust18
Wow, I'm having the opposite problem. I've been wanting to have sex all the time and my boyfriend just doesn't want to have it as much as me! I've taken to masturbating after he falls asleep.posted 02/08/2010 by Hempress
Ok well I am 28 weeks along now and I have a much different out look about this subject then most of you. I get what you all say to give him the benefit of the doubt but... its not that Im not trying, I just feel like nothing is working for me. Im not talking the other forms of pleasure, but straight up love making is just not so lovely for me! Its not that I don't want to cause I do, its not that Im insecure with myself cause I think I look great, its strictly cause it doesn't feel good any more! Its used to, but now its just become a whole lot of pressure, pressure every where if you know what I mean! And I cant get "the burning... I have to pee... maybe even a fart or two... oh wait is that a fart or do I have to ?"... LoL. I just feel like lets get real for a second ladies and talk about all the things that most of you women are thinking and feeling but just aren't saying... I cant wait to hear from all us pregnant women out there who feel the same way!posted 05/18/2010 by luvlastes
I can totally understand what your going through. My hubby still finds me very attractive, even with the belly, But i find it very hard to get "in the mood", sometimes though you need to put aside how you feel about it and concider your other half your hubby. He has wants too, My husband expressed to me that it makes him feel like he is not good enough when i tell him i dont want to. and that is the last thing i want him to think because i love him so much. So Even if i am not in the mood, at least once a week i try to compensate for his disires, it is always good to keep the intimacy up. Mabye try using a lubricant, or stimulate gel, cause remeber it cant always be about you.posted 12/07/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband also finds me very desirable...where as I can't see where he can find me at all desirable. We don't have sex as much since it is very painful for me, and my sex drive is just about non existant. Sometimes, though, especially when he has made it known to me that he is in the mood, I will make an effort; whether I'm in the mood or not, to please him, and it usually puts me in the mood and he takes care of me too. Actual intercourse is rare however we both get the release we need (whether I know I need it or not) and it makes our marriage happier and strengthens our bond as husband and wife, which is one of the key ingredients of being good parents.posted 08/20/2007 by angel_under_cover
I agree with everything that is said, in one way or another but i'm SICK of hearing about mens sexual drive and how its oh so over baring and if they don't get oral sex or sex in general within a weeks time they'll die of blue balls! Give me a break. It's just an excuse for you to make your gf or wife feel bad for being pregnant then she has to give in and give oral sex or sex when in reality she doesn't want to. Not to mention that 85% of women who say they like giving oral sex, really don't. & about 70% of women fake orgasms. So men, hate to break it to you, but even when you're getting some, you're usually in the end zone alone regardless. Maybe that'll help you NOT bug your wife for sex. Use your right or left hand for the next 9 months. :)posted 09/22/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I broke up with my partner because since I couldn't have sex with him, he no longer wanted anything to do with me. He started ignoring me, and treating me like a stranger. It was bad, he yelled at me about being able to perform when I was pregnant before with our daughter. However, I realized that he does not care for me, he just cares about himself. I left him and will never go back to an uncaring selfish, and stupid man.posted 01/11/2004 by lechaudnc
I wish that the case with me and my hubby was that I wasn't interested, it's the exact opposite. I'm currently 7 months and for the last 5 month I'm the one that want it more that ever and my hubby could care less!!! At least yall feel wanted and beautiful!! I feel huge, disgusting, ugly, fat, you get what I'm saying. He says it freaks him out that the baby's in there and that it kinda hurts. I'm invious of all of you ladies!!! I have 2 months to go and I'm on my own. No cuddling, kissing, hugging, nothing... It hurts my feelings....posted 10/18/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm just the opposite. I want sex but my husband doesn't.posted 01/27/2007 by fourpoint mom
Hello ladies, I am 6 1/2 months pregnant... I've realize ever since I've gotten pregnant I cant stand SEX, I feel really uncomfortable... scared that we might hurt the baby, but it is safe to have sex when you are pregnant. My husband knows that I am not interested in having sex, and i think that it is wrong to leave him unsatisfied... so unfortunally we've been having sex 2-4 times a week. I mean its not going to kill anyone to give him at least 30 minutes a day. You got to keep them happy ladies; I thought that HE would be the one feeling uncomfortable scared of hurting the baby because it is our first baby, but I am the one that feels really uncomfortable... I hate it in the beginning, but after we are sexually intimate I've got to admit I love it too! So ladies give it to your man and satified them keep them happy, your uncomfortable feelings of having sex will be over soon.posted 04/04/2007 by venniciaandjimmie's

Trite but True: A Closer Look at Filmmaking Advice from One Producer to Another
Scott Macaulay shared a few pointers he had received from fellow producers over the years — wisdom that he initially dismissed as eye-roll inducing industry platitudes that had little relevance in the real world of filmmaking. But over the course of his career, he found that their words held much more weight than he previously thought. If the advice given to Macaulay is reduced to its base elements, I think that what remains are universal and beneficial lessons for all creatives, namely filmmakers — important guidance that if considered, may offer a new perspective of the industry, and help steady your footing as a filmmaker.
Originally published almost 10 years ago, Macaulay's article for Filmmaker Magazine describes these words of wisdom as "vague, counterintuitive, or just plain silly," even "Erma Bombeck-ish." From the perspective of a producer, the advice seems too simple, too trite to carry the weight of a complex and merciless industry, but Macaulay explains how powerful it became later on in his career.
It's interesting to see how relevant their pearls of wisdom became to all types of filmmakers once their roots were exposed. Take the first one for example: Macaulay shares what producer and Focus Films co-president James Schamus (The Ice Storm, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Brokeback Mountain) said to him:
When seeking financing for a film, don't get people to say "yes." Get them to say "no" and move on.
Macaulay describes how working with a flakey person hurt his project, because he was able to convince himself that "their 'yes' was truly a 'yes'," instead of accepting that perhaps the individual just wasn't that interested in the project. Which, at its base, says: Work with people who match or exceed your passion.
I'm sure most of us have experienced working with people on a project who heaved copious sighs every time we've requested another take, tighter editing, or revisions to a screenplay. Independent filmmakers have enough working against them to be encumbered by tepid collaborators. Plus, enthusiasm shows on the screen. Most of the time, putting your time and energy into convincing someone to work on your project, when they really, really couldn't care less about it, is a wasted investment. Get them to say "no" move on.
Another tip to consider from Macaulay's list came to him from French producer Jean-Luc Ormieres, who explained that when producing a film, you can take a gamble on the script, the director, or the cast, but you must choose only one. This gives great insight into what some producers may be thinking when considering films.
Taking chances on a project can pay dividends in the end, because the very nature of doing so means that there's something out of the ordinary there — an original story, a new voice from a director, a new talented actor. But, maybe this would be a good thing to think about when making your film: are you finding that you're gambling on more than just one of those things listed – or maybe on other things pertaining to your project?
I think it'd be wise for all of us to ask ourselves what we're willing to give up in order to widen our gait and inspire confidence in others who will eventually have to take on investing in us — be it a big time producer or a PA. None of us want to make sacrifices in order to get a film made. In an ideal world, our darlings would live forever, but sometimes some need to die in order for the rest to live.
What do you think about the advice Scott Macaulay received? Let us know in the comments.
[Correction: Regarding Macaulay's tips about gambling on a film's script, director, or cast, it's not about mitigating overall risk,

God, that first one….so true, couldn't be stressed enough.
1st instinct is the most important. You will be led astray by others leading to confusion and conflict. Stick to what you started with.
Great article. Painfully true and valuable points.
"Independent filmmakers have enough working against them to be encumbered by tepid collaborators."
lol. Great line.

Spot on. Lotta TALKERS out there. Too many. They should pimp, deal drugs, make porn. Highest profit to loss ratio. Rest of us can make movies. Tell stories.
Although I like the brutal poetry of it and I get the kernel of wisdom, you do need to hear "yes" at some point so maybe it should be "Get them to say what they mean."
Am I correct in my reading of "when taking a gamble on producing a film, do so on the script, the director, or the cast, but you must choose only one,"? It intends to say that you can take a chance on one of those factors, but the other two must be solid and non-risky.

Following a two-week disruption, families flocked back to Parkwood Farms, a therapeutic riding center in Snellville, on Tuesday afternoon, following the threat of imminent eviction just a few short weeks ago.
Owner Marilyn Peterson issued a plea for help from the community, many of whom rallied around her in the coming days.
Peterson said that she received a predatory loan in 2004. When she refinanced it in 2011, she was told that the terms would be good for "the life of the loan."
"What they didn't tell me was that the 'life of the loan' was only two years," she said.
Following a rally, candlelight vigil and dozens of phone calls and negotiations, the mortgage company has now agreed to negotiate the terms of her loan, although the final outcome is still uncertain.
"This is even better than the first day we opened," said Peterson of the re-opening. Her own son, who is autistic, is back in the saddle as well. "It's more exciting because we've been doing this so long that something has been missing out of lives and now it's back. The kids are so happy, and the horses are happy."
Brandon Yeargin, 5, was one of the students riding at the farm on Tuesday. He has been riding since the end of July and looks forward to it every single week.
"He's always excited to come over here," said his father, Sunnil.
Brandon struggles with speech and socialization, a common theme among children with autism. Hippotherapy -- therapy that involves horses -- has had a profound impact on students at Parkwood Farms, particularly in the area of speech development.
Brandon now talks nonstop, according to his father, something he believes the farm had a lot to do with.

What is Traffic Modeling?
The Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) describes a simulation model as "A computer program that uses mathematical models to conduct experiments with traffic events on a transportation facility or system over extended periods of time." Simulation models are designed to emulate the behavior of traffic in a transportation system over time and space to predict system performance. A simulation model studies a real-world system, taking into consideration the mathematical and logical concepts associated with the operation of the system, and emulates it with intricate computer software. Simulation model runs can be viewed as experiments performed in the laboratory rather than in the field. Simulation models are typically classified according to the level of detail at which they represent the traffic stream.
Microsimulation Models
Definition: Microsimulation is the dynamic and stochastic (random – see note below) modeling of individual vehicle movements within a system of transportation facilities. Each vehicle is moved through the network of transportation facilities on a split second by split second basis according to the physical characteristics of the vehicle (length, maximum acceleration rate, etc.), the fundamental rules of motion (e.g. acceleration times time equals velocity, velocity times time equals distance) and rules of driver behavior (car following rules, lane changing rules, etc.).
This definition was taken from the California Department of Transportation publication, "Guidelines for Applying Traffic Microsimulation Modeling Software" which was published in partnership with Dowling Associates in September 2002.
Note: Stochastic is synonymous with random. The word is of Greek origin, means "pertaining to chance", and is often used in mathematical and scientific applications.
Macroscopic Models
Macroscopic models simulate traffic flow, taking into consideration cumulative traffic stream characteristics (speed, flow, and density) and their relationships to each other. The simulation in a macroscopic model takes place on a section-by-section basis rather than by tracking individual vehicles. Macroscopic models employ equations on the conservation of flow and on how traffic disturbances broadcast through the system like shockwaves. Macroscopic simulation models were originally developed to model traffic on distinct transportation sub networks, such as freeways, corridors (including freeways and parallel arterials), surface-street grid networks, and rural highways. They can be used to predict the spatial and sequential extent of congestion caused by traffic demand or incidents in a network; however, they cannot model the interactions of vehicles on alternative design configurations.
Mesoscopic Models
Mesoscopic models combine the properties of both microscopic and macroscopic simulation models. Mesoscopic models are somewhat less consistent than microsimulation tools, but are superior to some other traffic analysis techniques. These models simulate individual vehicles, but describe their activities and interactions based on aggregate (macroscopic) relationships. They can simulate the routing of individual vehicles equipped with in-vehicle, real-time travel information systems. The travel times are determined from the simulated average speeds on the network links, which, in turn, are calculated from a speed-flow relationship. Typical applications of mesoscopic models are evaluations of traveler information systems.

What happened to Christians under the Nazi Regime? The traditionalists went to concentration camps, many fell away and adopted the Nazi neo-paganism, and some clergy actively supported the Third Reich. From the essay: [T]he persecution of the Church was camouflaged as "positive Christianity," which claimed through the use of quotations from the Bible to be fulfilling God's commandments: "They thus built up an enormous propaganda-machine, which resulted in a general inflation of values, because it sanctified anything it wanted to, so that finally nothing remained sacred" (p. 98). Only then did the full persecution come. Source: The Living Church | Leander S.

Sedu Revolution Pro Tourmaline Ionic 4000i Hair Dryer
LizNJHairBlackCurly HairAwesome DryerHey guys, I have black colored very curly and very thick hair. It used to take me 25 minutes to blowdry followed by about 20-30 min to straighten it with an iron. I only used to wash my hair every 2 days because of the time it takes. I was in search of an blowdryer that would limit the time it took me to blowdry so I could wash it more often and could limit my time (my arm was beginning to work). I was deciding between this one and a "professional dryer" that my hairdresser in NY used. I bought this, and it was remarkable how much it limited my time. I use the high heat setting and the high air flow (there is a high and low only for both these options) and it limited my blowdry time to ~13 min! That a huge change for me. One warning about the heat -- Either dont blowdry too close to the head, or blowdry mainly with the lower heat setting then switch to the higher one for only like 10-15 seconds. I found that my hair felt dried out when I used high heat the whole time. Other than that, its a great dryer and I HIGHLY recommend it!posted Jun 24, 2009Link to this post

JenniferDana Point, CaliforniaGood Dryer For The PriceThe Good:When I bought this dryer I was looking for an everyday dryer that I could also use when I travel. This dryer has met my expectations. I have had the dryer for a few months now. My hair feels much softer and is healthier. I have owned a bioionic in the past and I think that this dryer leaves my hair softer and more shiny than the bioionic. It also fits very nicely in the suitcase. The cord is long- which makes it nice when you are using a mirror which doesnt have an outlet near by.The Bad:The dryer does blow very hard. It does make styling a little difficult- but I have gotten used to it. Styling your hair with this dryer is also a challenge because the cold shot button is on the handle where you hold the dryer so it is easy to push it on accident. I probably would have purchased a different dryer if I could have tested it out before I bought it- just because of erogonomic reasons and the blow factor. However I would still have chosen this dryer if another dryer didnt make my hair feel as soft and healthy as thin one does.I am rating this dryer better than average just because it makes my hair feel wonderful.Also, dealing with Folica was fantastic. I received my purchase quickly and there were no problems. I will definitely buy from folica again.posted Jun 23, 2009Link to this post

AnonymousWhite Plains, NYHairCurly HairThe Best!I love this hair dryer! I have frizzy slightly curly hair unless I blow it straight, then use a straightening iron. The process used to take 35 minutes or more. I can now blow it straight in about 10 minutes. Most days I dont even need to use the straightening iron. I have recommended this dryer to my sister and friends.

Kris KujawinskiEast Village, New York City, NYA Gift That Keeps On Giving.I bought this hair dryer as a gift for my coworker. A stylist in one of the trade magazines listed it as something he couldnt live without while working. The long cord, lightweight, quiet motor, and size features sold me. Also, the best part is the air flow nozzle snaps on and wont fall off. My friends previous hair dryers would not last her long ( she is pretty rough on them). Im happy to say her TGR 4000i hair dryer is still going strong after two years and mine is about to have a one year anniversary. I think we both cant live without them at work. No complaints here.

It is light, small (not a mini), and my hair feels softer since I have been using it; and it takes me less time than ever before! It has different setting for temperture and it is really effective. With a great black design and a practical seze and weight, I cannot ask for more. I will not buy another tool from any other brand, Sedu products are the best!

Tired MomGood DryerI love this blowdryer. Compared to most standard $30 store bought dryers it is way better, but compared to my old speed freak 2000watt dryer it is just noticibly better. Not a huge improvement but better. My old one is on its last leg after 7 years so my new sedu was worth the price. To tell you the speed at which the air blows out, I did a comparison test with my old speed freek and a conair dryer. I hung towels of same exact brand style and weight inside on the shower rod so no outside wind forces could change the outcome. I held all three dryers facing the towels and the sedu blew the towel the farthest with the most force. I then took a few steps back with the sedu while my husband stayed in the same spot with the others and the sedu still blew the towel the farthest. I would recommend this if you are in need of a new dryer or just tired of replacing your old store bought specials.posted Jun 20, 2009Link to this post
