By The Associated Press
BOGART, Ga. (AP) - The Caterpillar company is planning to hire 100 more workers for its new manufacturing plant in northeast Georgia.
Human Resources Manager Mike White said Caterpillar is seeking welders and assemblers and some other workers as it prepares to start manufacturing small tractors and add a second shift to build mini-hydraulic excavators.
Once hired, that will bring the workforce at the Athens-area plant up to about 500. White said he hopes to hire another 200 workers by the end of the year.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that Caterpillar still maintains a goal of employing as many as 1,400 workers by 2018 at its million-square-foot facility on Monroe Highway.
The plant, near the Clarke and Oconee county line, opened in October 2013.

CLICK HERE to purchase the script online:
The drama depicts a jury forced to consider a homicide trial. At the beginning, they have a nearly unanimous decision of guilty, with a single dissenter of not-guilty, who throughout the play sows a seed of reasonable doubt. The story begins after closing arguments have been presented in the homicide case, as the judge is giving his instructions to the jury. As in most American criminal cases, the twelve men must unanimously decide on a verdict of "guilty" or "not guilty". (In the justice systems of nearly all American states, failure to reach a unanimous verdict, a so-called "hung jury", results in a mistrial.) The case at hand pertains to whether a young man murdered his own father. The jury is further instructed that a guilty verdict will be accompanied by a mandatory death sentence. These twelve then move to the jury room, where they begin to become acquainted with the personalities of their peers. Throughout their deliberation, not a single juror calls another by his name because the names are unknown by the jurors. Several of the jurors have different reasons for discriminating against the witness: his race, his background, and the troubled relationship between one juror and his own son.
Presented with special arrangement through Dramatic Publishing Company.

Animation and Science Fiction & Fantasy movie directed by Brad Bird< read all 4 reviews
But forget all that...The Iron Giant is a fine movie. Actually, I would go as far as to say it's the best animated movie I've ever seen.
Forget everything you've ever thought about animated films. Just for kids...bad script...juvenile humor...long, boring music numbers...talking animal sidekicks with lame one-liners... Forget it all. Instead of staying shackled to convention, The Iron Giant eschews all the faults associated with other animated films, and simply delivers a charming film that anyone can enjoy. Pardon the cliché, but in this case, it is absolutely true.
The Iron Giant's story is delightfully captivating in all its exquisitely crafted facets. The script is irresistible, tastefully witty, and profoundly moving. Time and time again, I marveled at how a single scene could be better than entire movies. The giant robot character is a stranger in a strange land, and his (mis)adventures with Hogarth (the young boy who befriends the robot) are accompanied with elegant humor, but sometimes the lighthearted moments relinquish themselves to emotionally-stirring segments. If the ending doesn't have you holding back tears, you simply aren't human. The iron giant himself succeeds in being the ideal non-human character with a very important human element, and that's one of the greatest merits of this movie's story.
From a technical standpoint, the animation is simply breathtaking. Special accolade goes to the technique used on the iron giant himself. He is rendered with computers graphics, but with a special cel-shading technique that makes him look hand-drawn. This allows him to seamlessly blend in with the hand-drawn environments and other characters.
Some people will certainly pass by The Iron Giant. They'll return to their Disney flicks -- movies that are so engineered to be impressive that they somehow fail. These people will never know what they missed. That is because The Iron Giant is so much more than any other animated movie. It's a ride through a timeless story and human emotion that few movies match, much less animated films. Lofty praise, certainly, but every word of it is sincere and true. Watch it, and you'll agree.
What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
With no songs, no sidekicks, and no cheap ending, The Iron Giant is a refreshing change-- like an off-Broadway production compared to the glitz of Disney's annual animated extravaganzas. Director Brad Bird may have Family Dog and The Simpsons to his credit, but this film doesn't have that brand of scatological humor. As with the best family entertainments, there are gags that adults will howl at while the kids are watching something else (see Bird's interpretation of cold war propaganda). And the star is one cool piece of animated magic. Voiced by Vin Diesel (Saving Private Ryan's hulking Private Caparzo) and filled with more gadgets than a Swiss army knife, the giant is a grand thing to behold. And like another famous cinema tin man, our hero--and the movie--has heart. Superb entertainment for ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas

Keep it up!! You have done the nice job having provided the latest information.
We agree to disagree except on FIAT pushing Chrysler-Jeep onwards and upwards as an act of blind faith or industrial suicide. FIAT has been trounced by Hyundia-Kia in Britain at least. The 500 in North America will be essential for the Marchione (?)Strategy. Today he requests a slice of MAN/SAAB Trucks as a tradeoff for ALFA-ROMEO from Volkswagen. Admire his nerve. As if Volkswagen would fall for that walk down the aisle. Another marriage of inconvenience.
Your favourite FORD may be a class leader with the KA FIESTA Focus S-MAX C-MAX KUGAR and Mondeo in Europe. BUT there is a certain blandness about the FORD brand. Agreed the product line does look streamlined and robust. The Fiesta remains the most affordable and the best of the bunch. However Ford in Britain lacks vitality and consumer confidence. The media adverts reflect corporate bureaucracy. Maybe its my prejudice after the way they left LAND-ROVER for dead. Jaguar should have been terminated. It was that lack of decision that made me fall out of love with FORD.
GM OPEL possesses that German muscle power to turn itself around now with enough GM USA cash. GM USA had no option but to keep their German kit-bag; even Senior FORD executives admitted that fact. OPEL will prove its worth and will surpass your low expectations.
"Problems are not like facts" to quote Dr.F PORSCHE (as quoted on CNBC today by Mr.Weinberg) Problems can be resolved...if not then they become facts. OPEL may have been a problem of sorts....but it is an overstatement to claim that OPEL is factually a lost cause.
"My original point was that it is a brave statement the GM is in a better shape or position on any area+
Compared to Ford, of course.
"On GM Europe"
It is clear that apart of the Volt, all advanced development came from Rüsselheim. But saying that GM Europe and Opel is doing well is another thing, especially compared to Ford, which has both higher market share and a much better product line-up. Despite some successes like the Insignia (which may sell better but also a fresh model compared to the ageing Mondeo - but the car itself is an industry follow-up), Opel is forced to give the highest discounts, and not only because of the damaged brand. It is an Opel tradition to produce cars that are fair in all areas, but fail to excel in any.
There are no reports yet (at least I haven't seen any on, let's say, Autocar) on the new Focus, the run-out model was class leader (like the Mondeo) and was bettered by the Golf MK6 (or 5.5) only. Meriva might help, but Ford just launched the Focus C-Max - strong contender for the 2010 ECOTY award.
"VOLVO could have been handled better by FORD USA."
There is no doubt there, though "the problem" identified is not only about copying BMW. They insisted that it was pursue "premium" values and not its own roots.
However, it is tempting to say that Volvo is success story compared to Saab, which faces a Rover-style decline into the Abyss - Spyker won't be able to fix it.
"Believe that BMW is still trying to develop HYDROGEN."
I'm not sure. What is sure that BMW's latest high-profile concept car was a mide engined diesel-hybrid...
"As for French cars we have seen some very exciting new models esp from CITROEN. New C4 FAIR but New C3/C3 Picasso and New DS3 represent a giant leap forward. New Peugeot 508 Family saloon deserves to be successful plus 3008."
Citroen is really on the move, but I wrote what I wrote in context: it is unlikely that the C4 is a major threat to the Focus or the class leaders. And this year there will be no other new French model in the segment.
My original point was that it is a brave statement the GM is in a better shape or position on any area - apart of its strong Chinese presence.
I agree, that the outlook for Fiat-Chrysler is not too rosy...
Optimal_R: Additional comment:
As for French cars we have seen some very exciting new models esp from CITROEN. New C4 FAIR but New C3/C3 Picasso and New DS3 represent a giant leap forward. New Peugeot 508 Family saloon deserves to be successful plus 3008.
RENAULT with new SCENIC has achieved a higher market share. The French have capitalised in the British market because FIAT is nowhere to be seen. FIAT sales were down 50 percent in December in the UK. The 500 bubble has burst. ALFA should be doing better. The French were waiting for that to happen with sharper pricing.
Never underestimate the French because they have state money on call. They managed to held on to their pride; which is more that you can say for the British auto mfg landscape. Some old rockers? To think BMW own Rolls-Royce and MINI....and doing a fine job of it.
Optimal_R: ANSWERS:
On GM Europe: The profitability of OPEL has improved with a lower cost base. GM Europe could have been dumped by GM USA however GM China needs this European operation for design work for BUICK. New models like OPEL MERIVA should help. INSIGNIA doing better than MONDEO. Ford of Germany had a relatively good 2010 in Europe but 2011 will be more difficult for them. New FOCUS still not as good as Volkswagen Golf in road tests.
VOLVO could have been handled better by FORD USA. The new owners in China have appointed some new senior managers from Germany who have identified the problem: Stop trying to copy BMW. Like Hyundai-Kia all it takes is the right pricing and products.
Believe that BMW is still trying to develop HYDROGEN.
"Of the three GM still looks the best bet with strong Chinese and German subsidiary companies."
Strong German subsidiary? GM Europe is losing both money and market share, Ford is much better positioned. True, that Ford is less muscular in China, but on a market -which is not mature yet- things can quicly change.
"Ford by selling VOLVO has left itself very exposed at the luxury end."
Let's face it: building a profitable and growing luxury brand is an uphill battle where few suceeded (Audi and Lexus), and by the way, if Ford is exposed at the luxury market, what about GM? Cadillac exists only in the US where it also trails all other luxury makers.
"Ford in Europe also looks weak even with the new FOCUS; given the new FRENCH cars coming onto the market."
Why? Is it on sale yet? Whyich Frech competitor is coming apart the Citroen C4 and DS4? The Focus's success doesn't depend on the French, but the car itself.
"2011 may also witness a big move to hydrogen-powered vehicles..."
Hydrogen will never become a widespread alternative: it is expensive to store and to move, dangerous, lacks both commitment from car mafucturers and governments.
All-electric cars seem perfect for Japan and Europe, but they will be a much harder sell in the U.S. There are far too many Americans who, because of our gasoline-car-based urban sprawl, cannot rely on a single vehicle that can only travel 100 miles on a charge. We lack adequate public transportation infrastructure in almost all markets. Also, intra-regional transit (except, to a very limited extent in the northeast) is exclusively by car. I don't think any Americans will give up all of their non-electric cars, at least not until the range is as far as one can drive in 8+ hours, so the market will be limited to those few wealthy enough to buy both.
NEWS today for the worlds automobile industry is buoyant with CHINA reporting 13 million passenger cars sold in 2010. America may see an improvement subject to their housing market refloating. The arrival of Volkswagen manufacturing the new generation PASSAT saloon/sedan in Tennessee could be very significant. In fact the Germans could upset the party for GM Ford and Chrysler-Jeep/FIAT. 2011 will decide if there is room for three American manufacturers.
Of the three GM still looks the best bet with strong Chinese and German subsidiary companies. Ford by selling VOLVO has left itself very exposed at the luxury end. Ford in Europe also looks weak even with the new FOCUS; given the new FRENCH cars coming onto the market.
2011 may also witness a big move to hydrogen-powered vehicles...the most underrated option. There is something very unconvincing about a battery-driven car that gets a 100 miles after charging it for 5 hours. TOYOTA and Renault-Nissan seem to think otherwise.

As a teen, James formed a trio called the Peaches, which was discovered by R&B musician and promoter Johnny Otis (who, coincidentally, died Tuesday at age 90). Soon, she was in a duo called Etta & Harvey with Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows, the R&B group behind the 1955 hit "Sincerely."
Early on, she toured with Johnny Guitar Watson, the Texas singer, songwriter and guitarist, in an association that figured prominently in her approach to music for the rest of her life.
She also fell under the positive and negative influences of musicians she revered, such as Billie Holiday, as well as some with whom she crossed paths on the road, including Ray Charles and Chet Baker, all of whom struggled with addiction.
"All of my role models at that time, the ones I looked up to most, were heroin addicts," she told The Times in 1993. "I think subconsciously I thought that was a cool thing."
In the mid-1970s, after getting caught writing bad checks to support her drug habit, James was offered a choice between prison or rehab. She chose the latter and kicked heroin, but she started using cocaine a few years later. A spiritual epiphany led her to give up cocaine and alcohol, and in the 1980s she began a personal and professional renaissance, reestablishing her credibility in the music world.
She coaxed esteemed R&B producer Jerry Wexler, who had been pivotal in the careers of Aretha Franklin, Ruth Brown, Otis Redding and many others, out of retirement to oversee her 1992 album "The Right Time."
At the time, Wexler said, "I've never done anything better, and I've done a lot of records."
In 1994, James saluted Holiday with an album of jazz standards called "Mystery Lady," which yielded the first Grammy Award of her career, for jazz vocal performance. She collected two more Grammys: for the 2003 contemporary blues album "Let's Roll," and 2004's "Blues to the Bone," named best traditional blues album.
Those works became family affairs when she enlisted her two sons as co-producers. The family moved to Riverside in the 1980s because James said she had had enough of gang violence and other troubles in South Los Angeles. She lived in a simple ranch-style home.
In addition to her two sons, James is survived by Artis Mills, her husband of 42 years;and several grandchildren.
Her sons were unaware of the scope of their mother's fame until seeing her perform at the 1983 Grammys. Donto, then a young teen, was sitting next to members of rap group Run-DMC, and they went wild when James took the stage.
"That's when I realized my mother was truly a star," he said.
Los Angeles Times staff writer Phil Willon contributed to this report.
Etta James dies at 73; acclaimed blues and R&B singer
Etta James, perhaps the quintessential R&B diva, was equally at home singing unadulterated blues, searing R&B and sophisticated jazz. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and her biggest hit, 'At Last,' has been enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame.

CATEGORIES Features, Discussion Posts, Sci-FiWelcome to I Would Revisit/Abandon, a regular SciFi Squad feature where we decide whether or not the door should be shut on a science fiction series, franchise or universe. Expect new entries every Wednesday and Friday, and watch out for potential spoilers beyond the jump!
This week, we'll be re-thinking those plane tickets to...
Place: A sprawling space station on the edge of the Alpha Quadrant called Deep Space Nine.
People/characters: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine featured a large cast of characters, including Starfleet's Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks), Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell), and Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney), plus Bajoran officer Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) and the changeling Odo (Rene Auberjonois).
What Makes it Unique: Unlike its predecessors -- the original 1960s series and Star Trek: The Next Generation --DS9 presented the Star Trek universe as a real place with real people suffering through personal tragedies, terrorist threats, political corruption, and a devastating war. The show's setting, a space station at the far end of the galaxy, allowed for a more serialized style of storytelling that rewarded loyal viewers with rich story arcs, multi-season conflicts, and a stable of memorable recurring characters. The series was often dark, ambitious, and emotional. DS9's architects, including Rick Berman, Michael Piller and Battlestar Galactica's Ron Moore, also crafted hours of fun and quirky episodes, usually involving Quark and his Ferengi family, full of humor and heart.
Verdict: OK, I know I'm cheating a bit with this one. DS9 isn't exactly it's own franchise or universe – it's only a small part of the Star Trek world. I get it, but I don't care. I want more DS9, like, now. Gimme a TV movie, a straight-to-DVD feature – I'll even take a cameo from Captain Sisko's great great grandfather in JJ Abrams' reboot sequel. Seriously, Paramount, I'll gladly devour any little morsel you'll toss my way.
Reason: DS9 was a special show, and it's one I love to revisit over and over again as the stories, conflicts and characters seem more relevant today than they did when it originally aired. Standout episodes include 'The Visitor,' 'In the Pale Moonlight,' 'Far Beyond the Stars,' and 'The Way of the Warrior.' Check 'em out.

Before we got our first molder we had seven Powermatic shapers. We used them for all sorts of things and quite often. They are a valuable machine and can take a much heavier cut than a router can. They are a dangerous machine if not used with care. However, in some ways they can be safer than a router. I don't think that a shaper should be one of the first machines a small shop should have, however, but once you get your basic machines then a shaper can be a nice addition. An automatic feeder can also make a very nice addition to a shaper.

How much did they want for the shaper with some cutters?
Agree with Charles, but if the shaper is at a smokin deal though it might save money now. Power feeder is a great asset to a shaper, safety wise and also in controling the feed rate.

Most of what a Shaper can do, can be done with a good Router of the 2 1/4 to 3 1/2 hp. range, using the large router bits often, would be better served by the larger hp. router, although a 2 1/4 hp. will spin the larger bits.
Shaper cutters are more costly than router bits but most profile bits/cutters are available for both machines.
Finally, Shapers are generally prefered by production shops that run their machines for hours on end and are designed for this type of continuous use.

I'm not belittling the router. They are wonderful tools and usually anyone who has been in woodworking for any length of time will have a number of them. In my home shop I have 5 or 6 routers and no shaper right now. My home shop is so small right now that I wouldn't have room for it even if I could get my hands on one. The router is exactly why the shaper should be one of the last major stationary tools the small shop owner should get. Nevertheless, I believe the shaper is a mighty good machine to have.

Pending the shaper, or at least mine, I can put a 13" diameter raise panel cutter on it. ….try that with a router ?

I think he would let it go for $400. I think it is a Delta 43-355. No feeders.
#9 posted 656 days ago
400 bucks, I bet 350 you can take it home… Good deal if you ask me… switch from 1/4 to 1/2 router bits, or 3/4 bore shaper cutters…. Even larger if you have the t-bushings. I think 10,000 rpm is max so you just feed a little slower on the smaller bits. I paid 1500 for my Delta the guy threw in a Power feeder. You can pick up good shaper cutters at your local saw sharpening store I bet… Good dual purpose machine, a 3 1/4 PC router alone will cost you 400 bucks…....

#10 posted 656 days ago
I would go with a router unless you intend to do a lot of molding work.
#11 posted 656 days ago
I looked at the Delta 43-355 and it is not what I would call a Shaper but more like a Router set-up. 1 1/2 hp… When I think shaper I am thinking cabinet style 3hp and above. If your doing a shaper 3 hp and above is where you want to be. Otherwise stick with the router option. I do not have a router table anymore cause I either use the Delta 3hp one or when I feel real spunky I break out the 7hp Powermatic one. Stick a 1 13/16 head on that thing with a set of cutters it will make the hair on your neck stand up…

I did some 9 in wide crown several months back, the stock was 6/4 and had a 1 1/4 scoop out of the middle like a cove crown just a little fancier….. When I started up the moulder the guys next door rushed over to see what was going on and it did sound like a darn 747 starting up the engines. Taking a 1 1/4 cut at one time does give ya goosebumps…........

Our biggest molder was a 12 inch wide Weinig Unimat. We might go a little over 1-1/4 but when we did we would glue up the wood on the clamp carriers in a way that a lot of the stock was already gone where areas like a cove were. This way avoided a lot of stress on the knives. We've had some knives break on us with a 1-1/4 deep cut. That can hurt or kill someone and damage the head and/or the molder. We most always stayed within the limits of what Weinig told us. We've had builders and architechs always trying to push our limits but we just didn't push the limits. It's not safe and molders are too expensive. 1-1/4 was almost always ok depending on the width of the molding. However, 12 inch is a big molding so we tried to be cautio

I have two of these and use them mainly for cutting cope and stick. They work just fine. I just purchased the second one this past spring for $400. It had the router spindle and was in almost perfect shape (router spindle had never been taken out of the box). I think they are a good alternative to a router table.

Hmmm. I already have a good router and my next project will be building a decent router table. I think I will pass on the shaper. Thanks for the great advice.

Thank you Rez! You did an amazing job. I'm so happy you were our photographer. From the start you were so involved in helping us plan the perfect wedding. I didn't expect that so thank you. As a photographer you were so professional and talented. I couldn't be happier with the pictures. Thank you thank you thank you!

Fantastic! That's how I would describe everything Rez did- from the first meeting to the planning, to the day of, and finally the pictures. I loved them all and there were so many. I have spent hours looking through them and they are amazing. A perfect documentary of our amazing day. So any people commented on his work that day- he seemed to never stop working. He came early and left late- way after his contracted time. Thank you so much Rez!

I really recommend Rez. He did a fantastic job. We had a small ceremony and reception- very low key. It was the 2nd wedding for my husband and I so we didn't want a big show- been there done that type of thing. . Rez communicated with us along the way and made us feel really special with his attention to detail. Even though it was only a few hours and not a big wedding, Rez went all out and I really appreciate his concerns and efforts. He's a great guy and a super talented photographer.

My wife and I hired Rez to photograph our engagement photos in May 2013, and our wedding in April 2014, and I could not be happier with the results! Photography was very important to my wife and I because we wanted to document our once-in-a-lifetime wedding. We interviewed a number of other photographers in the St. Louis area but we were ultimately struck by Rez's fantastic portfolio, kind and caring nature, and professionalism. Not only was Rez was professional, personable, and hard working. He has a great eye for detail, and takes fantastic photos! Our wedding even took place on his birthday and he still spent over 10 hours capturing the details of our wedding day! He really is passionate about photography and dedicated capturing life's wonderful moments. I would recommend Rez to any person(s) looking for a photographer to capture the special moments in their lives. He is the best!

Rez was great! I would highly recommend him to any couple. He was responsive to our ideas, was wonderful to work with, had fantastic communication from the first email we sent him and took so many beautiful pictures. He is worth every penny.

We had narrowed our choice to 3 photographers. All three were wonderful and priced about the same. We chose Rez because he was going to bring more experience and more involvement in the planning. His experience was a big selling feature. I wasn't going to pay a photographer - no matter how much we liked them - if they didn't have the experience and knowledge. I'm glad we made that a priority becuase things did not happen as planned on the day. And while the other vendors seemed a little clueless as to what to do, Rez and has other photographer quickly got the situation worked out and had a plan. He literally saved a big part of the day. I also appreciated how he had the day timelined in detail. He was really organized and kept us in the loop. Nothing was left to chance. His pictures arrived this week and they were as we expected. Just lovely and perfect. Thank you Rez!

Wonderful! A perfect day and he photographed everything that happened. Every picture we got was amazing. I love my portraits! I am so happy we got Rez. He is so worth it.

We booked Rez for our wedding in Chicago based on a friends recommendation. We only met him on the day of the wedding. He's a really easy going person and we both felt so st ease with him. He is a total professional and in charge. Our pictures turned out amazing. Really beautiful and a perfect reflection of our day.

We interviewed 4 photographers and Rez was the most genuine. He asked all the right questions and gave suggestions for our days timeline that we had not thought of but made total sense. It was obvious he knew his stuff and was experienced in photographing a wedding day. Our wedding was beautiful and simple with a small gathering. But We wanted a creative photographer to get us special photographs of our kids and us. Rez really went out of his way to accommodate . We got our pictures yesterday- really fast turn around. Stunning and beautiful.. Oh yeah- the weather was awful- who gets married in January! But his attitude was superb and you'd never know it. Great guy and awesome photigrapher.

I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. When we decided to switch to another state (crazy right!) he cheerfully said no problem like it was nothing and made it all work out perfectly. I can't say the same about our other vendors. A great guy who really takes his job as a photographer seriously. We told him to take any kind if picture bc we trusted him totally. Pictures arrived yesterday . 1000+ incredible pictures- WOW. He is worth it.

Rez of Shari Photography is amazing and we highly recommend him. It became obvious during the interview process for photographers that there are many weekend wedding warrior photographer wanna be's- guys with a digital camera who think they can do a wedding. But Rez is a pro- the real deal. From the first meeting, the engagement session, and the wedding he was really positive and full of great ideas. Our confidence in him was total. Like The timeline he made was what kept the day flowing! The pictures arrived on Christmas Eve and they are amazing looking. Really beautiful work. He is an artist and a true professional.
Wedding: 11/17/2013

After looking and comparing several photographers, I chose Rez based on quality of pictures from his website and the price of everything included in the packages. Once I contacted Rez, it was a constant stream of communication, even while I was living out of the state. Rez is 100% in control and keeps track of everything, so you don't have to...major plus for a bride!! We met for engagement pictures and had drinks after to talk about the plans for wedding day. I was unaware that that much preperation went into planning photography for a wedding, but I am so happy Rez knew because the day was flawless. Rez and his assistant Emily were early on wedding day, and calm, not rushing around. Rez will tell you what you need to do to make the day go smoothly, and all the bride has to do is smile; so easy and perfect! Rez and Emily were so cool the whole day and stayed very late into the evening. Side note- I wanted to get a picture of all my cousins that were standing in a group, and within a matter of seconds, Rez was there taking a picture of all of us. He knows what is going on around him ALL DAY. I have seen photographers who ask the BRIDE what they want to do next, and how is the bride supposed to know?! Rez is a true professional and knows exactly what to do. I didn't think anything could be more perfect than the wedding day; but then I got my pictures back. Seriously stunning. That is all I can say. I looked for weeks for a photographer, spoke with many, and no one stood out like Rez. If you are still looking, go with Rez, you will be thanking me! =)

Hardest working guy I think we booked for our wedding! From the first email we sent him asking about his prices in 2012, to his followups after we received our pictures, Rez was on top of everything. You will never need to worry about this vendor when it comes to communication. easy to get hold of, and always has an answer. His pictures are brilliant. He captured the day exactly as we had hoped. He is a great guy and clearly loves his job. Thanks Rez!

My husband and I were beyond pleased with the service and product we received from Shari Photography. Everything from the engagement photos to the reception was exactly what we were looking for. The engagement photo session was quick and fun and the shots turned out great! Rez scouted photo op locations for after-ceremony shots and they turned out fantastic! Rez and Jason were very professional, organized, fun and upbeat. We received so many compliments from family, guests, and the wedding party. Amazing service and product at an incredible price. We received better service, had more fun, and received a much better product than most of our friends who spent twice as much. I would DEFINITELY recommend Shari Photography to any future brides!!!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Rez and his team were absolutely amazing, and went above and beyond what we were expecting. Rez has such a great personality and energy, it made our day even more special being able to be comfortable and have fun during our pictures. My husband has filmed over 400 weddings and he said he's never seen a better photographer. The pictures are perfect, we could tell that Rez really made an effort to do what we asked for. And there are so many good ones its hard to pick selects for an album!
We also had our photobooth done through Shari Photography. I would highly recommend this if you're considering a photobooth, the pictures are so much better (and you get so many more) having a person take them than trying to shove all your friends into a booth. Best guest book ever!

I have a tree, where nodes contain references to two parent nodes; due to the way things work, they can, at some point, point to the same nodes.
Parent1: Node234234 -> Node233645 -> Node2323429 -> Node2939230
Parent2: Node112938 -> Node2323429 -> Node2939230
If I am simply trying to parse each node once, and only once, no matter how many times it may appear, how would you do this?
I've thought about using List.Contains, and then halting if it's true, but it seems kind of messy; I've thought about using a HashTable (where I just let add the nodes), but I think that could be widely inefficient on larger trees. What would you consider to be an efficient, fast solution?

Andy Reid doesn't stamp out trade talk Brad Biggs
From the sounds of things, the Philadelphia Eagles remain open to trade talks involving Asante Samuel.
There's been great speculation the team would trade the cornerback after Nnamdi Asomugha was signed and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was acquired in the Kevin Kolb trade. Let's just say that coach Andy Reid didn't do anything to extinguish trade talk today.
"It's what I told him initially and what I've told you, he's on our football team," Reid said during his meeting with reporters. "That's what he is. As you know, in this league people are always talking. That's what (general manager) Howie Roseman gets paid to do and every other GM is paid to do. He knows that he's on this football team, and that's the way it is.
"You can ask me a question about any other player, and that's how it works. People are always calling, asking, and all that, it's part of this game. But he's on the team."
When people call with the right offer, maybe Samuel will be an ex-Eagle.

Puerto Aventuras Condos or Villas(100)
100 Results
Special Offer! Fall Special! Discounted nightly rate or fifth night free! August 11 - November 22
Recent Puerto Aventuras Reviews
the place is sopacious and the hired help,cook, his helper are all wonderful. the kitchen needs major upkeep,dishwasher does not work,range has only one burner. hats off to the cook george, he managed to cook us wonderful meals , and wash the dishes. the pool was wonderful, but the showers did not work in some of the bathrooms. the maintenance person responded immediately and did fix some of it. overall because of the pool,the cook and his help the stay was comfortable.
Amazing Family spot!
We loved our stay at this condo! There were six of us and plenty of room. Very clean, nice layout, beautiful finishings, fantastic sliding glass that spans the whole living room and a great rooftop space and awesome pool! The neighbours were more than helpful, great people. Close to other amenities outside PA. We loved PA, great safe community with lots to do, great restaurants and little shops. Something for everyone!
Spacious, comfortable and well-equipped condo
Clean and large condo with good-sized bedrooms, particularly suitable for families. All amenities provided with use of lovely shared swimming pool although we never saw anyone else use the pool during our stay). The property manager, Francesca, lives close by and was always available if we had any questions or needed anything. Also, Caroline, the owner, was very quick and efficient dealing with our booking and helping with information on local activities before arrival. The property was a short walk to the main marina area where there is a choice of restaurants and bars as well as some shops supplying essential items. The main supermarket is located just a few minutes outside of Puerto Aventuras. Good location only about 1 hour from Cancun airport and close by Playa del Carmen and Tulum which has great clean, white sandy beaches. I would recommend this property particularly for families and I would return but next time for longer!

Here are this week's MLB Power Rankings featuring thoughts on each team from Mark Zuckerman, Chase Hughes and myself, Steve Roney:
For the last week, Matt Williams has faced a nightly lineup decision, the crux of which has boiled down to the question of who would start at third base.
The circumstances that brought the Nationals to Washington, D.C., out of Montreal and almost into Baltimore's backyard, aren't lost on Orioles manager Buck Showalter.
Since returning from a nine-week absence in late June, Bryce Harper has yet to find his form on offense.

I'm very hesitantly trying Manic Panic with low expectations—it's that notorious fade and other things that make the hair community cringe. (I swear, every time I've seen someone with Manic Panic hair, it just looks awful—extremely fluffy like it was very, very severely over-processed then they didn't care to do a treatment of some sort and the dye, which claims its conditioning, did nothing to re-hydrate it even a little bit!)

Review: OCC Metallic Lip Tar in Batty (Limited Edition)
Thankfully, someone was selling one on eBay!
Review: NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Black Berry
Thanks to Ulta having a massive 40% off sale, I was able to get this lip pencil for only $2.09 (regularly $3.49).
I was torn between their Slim pencil and the Retractable one. I dislike retractable pencils, they seem to break for me often... Or maybe it was just that particular eyeliner.

Review: OCC Lip Tar Test Tubes x3 in Pink Prism
I Bought This
I love OCC but I've never tried wearing a Lip Tar. I've only swatched and admired them.
I'm that girl who can't pick ONE color from a massive selection that's made to be mixed for custom shades. Especially when trying to pick a normal color—I pick out a weird color, like blue, purple, etc, very easily but tell me to get a normal color and I don't know what to do. But thanks to OCC's brilliance, these little Test Tubes make it easier.

Review: Hask Keratin Protein Smoothing Deep Conditioner
First time using a Hask product (you know how I feel about placenta hair treatments, ugh) and first time using a keratin product!
It was only $1.77, so this isn't a bank breaker luckily.
Look Ma! Bruises! (WARNING: BLOOD)
BEFORE I get comments of "you're glamorizing violence," the only thing I've wanted to do for the rest of my life as a job is makeup. Special effects makeup, because brides bore me. I've had black eyes before because hey, kids are stupid. I get bruises in daily life because I'm a klutz who will slam into an OPEN door. And jeez, does that HURT!
Tonight I got a bit bored. I needed to clean my brushes out, but first, I thought I'd play around with makeup.

Wig Review: MintyMix Black/Platinum Curled Bob
Split wigs are awesome. Curly wigs are also pretty awesome (but they can get a little annoying when it comes to their maintenance).
Maintenance aside, this wig is one of the least expensive I've come across in this appropriately lolita style.

My research focuses on the conditions under which organizations translate —or fail to translate— scientific discoveries into new technologies. Historical examples reveal that, while this development can be very rapid in certain circumstances, scientific knowledge can sometimes remain unexploited for years. For instance, inhalation anesthesia had to be re-discovered independently many times, over the course of decades, before one person finally turned it into the medical technology that revolutionized the practice of surgery. Discerning the circumstances under which scientific discoveries are developed into new technologies is very difficult because the technological potential of the scientific knowledge is always unobserved. My research addresses this challenge by introducing a novel empirical strategy. I use simultaneous discoveries in science to conduct the first "twin studies" of new scientific knowledge.
Simultaneous Discoveries as a Research Tool: Method and Promise
Nearly half a century after Merton's description of simultaneous discoveries "as a strategic research site" (Merton 1963), they are hardly ever used by social scientists. Although their promise as a research tool has been established, operationalization issues have hindered their use. Disagreement exists over the appropriate amount of scientific and technological similarity necessary to consider two or more discoveries a multiple. This paper intends to unleash the potential of simultaneous discovery as a research tool. First, we review prior work on the topic and describe the vast theoretical potential of this approach. Second, we propose a new method that uses the literature on the social construction of science to go beyond the old debate of scientific and technological similarity. Third, we present a new algorithm that generated a large dataset of scientific multiples in an automated and systematic fashion. Finally, we describe the resulting sample of 578 recent discoveries made by 1,246 teams of scientists working in a variety of settings around the world.
Hurdles to Invention Based on Academic Science: Evidence from "Knowledge Twins"
Though scientific knowledge published by universities is increasingly important for the production of new technologies, the obstacles to invention based on academic science remain little understood. This question is difficult to examine empirically because the effect of the academic environment is confounded by the fact that university science tends to be fundamental and therefore little amenable to technology development. This paper addresses this identification challenge by using simultaneous discoveries operationalized as "paper twins." Analysis of follow-on citation of a sample of paper twins in the patent literature indicates that inventors cite academic papers less than those from industry. Importantly, this difference is not purely explained by the fundamental character of academic research. Not only do academic scientists produce fewer patents based on their discoveries than industry ones; we also find suggestive evidence that issues of awareness, trust, and approach to discovery might hinder a broader use of academic science by inventors.
Geographic Localization of Knowledge Spillovers
I investigate current debates about the extent to which knowledge spillovers are localized. Using citations of 275 twin papers in the patent literature, I can identify the extent to which inventors are more likely to draw on scientific knowledge that emerged within closer geographic proximity—while keeping the discovery constant. Early results indicate that knowledge spillovers are localized not only at the country level, but also very strongly at the metropolitan area level.
In the Shadow of Uncertainty: Entrepreneurial Strategy and the Selection of New Projects
I explore how entrepreneurs exploit uncertainty to compete against incumbents in pharmaceutical R&D. Using instances in which the same discovery is made simultaneously in an entrepreneurial venture and at a large firm, my preliminary results indicate that entrepreneurs tend to disengage from projects involving too little uncertainty for fear of competition with companies that have much greater resources. On the other hand, larger firms tend to reject ideas with high uncertainty, providing space for young firms to grow, "sheltered from competition" by this very uncertainty.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.

Kaye from MA– Verified Buyer
Was nervous about the purchase because it was expensive, but really is a quality item. Very well made, practical and beautiful. No regrets here!
Great Leather Ottoman
Alberto from Houston, TX– Verified Buyer
We purchased 2 of these ottomans, and they are perfect for the sofa we bought them for. They are high quality, and very well finished. The sides of the ottoman are heavily stuffed, and are plumper than the picture. Its worth noting that the bottom is covered, and one side has a built in leather strap for ease of moving the ottoman. We are very pleased with the purchase.
