In retrospect, it was a terrible idea for the Vikings to bring back Brett Favre for one more run in 2010. 2009 was undoubtedly a magical season even with the disappointing ending but the front office should not have let those memories sway them. Sober assessment of the roster should've shown them it was time not to reload for another run but to retool for the future. I realize this is all hindsight but, they should've said goodbye to Brett after the NFC title game and gone to work getting younger all down the roster.
But the Vikings let themselves be guided by their belief in the magic of Favre over calm rational thinking and Brett was called back from the brink of retirement. It didn't take much to get Brett to haul his battered body out there for one last run. Just $16. 5 million with a promise of $3.5 million more if the team made the postseason.
Of course Brett Favre only played for the love of the game and was not the least bit motivated by thoughts of riches. Right? Brett?
Um, no. In an interview Favre has revealed the primary factor behind his decision to come back for 2010. "First of all, the money was too good," The Gunslinger told Deion Sanders during a 2-part interview on NFL Network. "The money was too good, and I hate to say it's about money. But, you know, I felt the money was a lot."
Of course Favre also wanted to pad his stats, extend his streak and add to his Canton legacy. But winning? Did he actually think the Vikings had a shot at winning in 2010?
Apparently not. Favre said he felt it would be "next to impossible" for the Vikings to recapture the magic of 2009. "Now, that's not to say I didn't give my all," Favre elaborated. "It just wasn't to be, and I think I knew that. I really know it now."
So he came into the season pretty much convinced the team had no shot at winning. And he was mostly motivated by money at that point. But he still left it all out on the field because he's Brett Favre and that's just what Brett Favre does. Should we be bitter about his revelations? I say no. I say we should have no illusions about what Brett Favre was and is. We should hold onto our happy memories of that great 2009 run and thank Brett for the contribution he made, including making Packer fans squirm in their seats for a couple of months.
In the end we're all motivated by money to some extent. Who doesn't love cash? Favre's admission means little in the grand scheme. Regardless of whatever else might have been going on, he always gave all he had on the field, there's no one who will question that. The problem is, by 2010, he didn't have a lot left to give, and the Vikings should've recognized that. The blame doesn't rest with Favre, it rests with Brad Childress, Rick Spielman and Zygi Wilf.

Robert Pattinson Steps Out With New Mystery Girl
Sorry, Robsten shippers. It looks like Robert Pattinson is moving on from Kristen Stewart!
The 'Cosmopolis' actor was spotted cozying up to a cute brunette at a party on Saturday night (Sept. 21).
Sorry, Robsten shippers. It looks like Robert Pattinson is moving on from Kristen Stewart!
The 'Cosmopolis' actor was spotted cozying up to a cute brunette at a party on Saturday night (Sept. 21).
Robert Pattinson gave a typically cryptic but adorable interview, in which he revealed his most unforgettable moment, his most unforgivable transgression and his plans for the future. And by "revealed," we mostly mean "hinted at."
Robert Pattinson didn't just play a sensitive brooder in 'Twilight' -- a role he's desperately trying to break away from -- but he's also a pretty sensitive guy in real life, too.
Pattinson told Sunday Style (via Gossip Cop) of his
Now that 'Twilight' is over, what's Robert Pattinson to do? It looks like his game plan is to be taken seriously as an actor, as he's been working with David Cronenberg, and is now set to star in 'Life' for Anton Corbijn, alongside 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' star Dane DeHaan.
'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson made the day of many wee ones when he made a surprise visit to a children's hospital in Los Angeles. He joined the kids on Aug. 16 (in secret) and worked with them to make decorative picture frames in the hospital's Teen Lounge.
By now, you've probably seen the promo pics and trailer from Robert Pattinson's Dior Homme ad campaign. (If not, here you go. You're welcome.) For today's Swoon-Off, we decided to have Pattinson face off against a former Dior spokeman -- Jude Law. Which of these dapper gentleman is more swoon-worthy?
Robert Pattinson's role in the 'Twilight' franchise made him very rich and very famous. And while he's expressed gratitude for the opportunities the films have afforded him, he's also made it abundantly clear he's ready to move on. And he wishes everyone else would, too.
Twihards and Robsten shippers, rejoice! It looks like Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart may be patching things up after all.
Robert Pattinson hasn't spent his single life pouting or feeling sorry for himself.
When he's not partying with his new neighbors, the 'Twilight' star is using his trademark brooding good looks to promote Dior -- and boy, is he a hottie! Pattinson modeled the fashion house's wares for GQ Germany and revealed why he almost quit acting for good.
Robert Pattinson is enjoying his posh new pad -- and the posh new pals that have been coming over to visit him. Who's he hanging out with in his bachelor pad since he and Kristen Stewart split up?
Just weeks after rumors of a Robert Pattinson-Kristen Stewart reunion surfaced, onetime K-Stew co-star Riley Keough has completely put rumors of her own R-Pattz romance to rest for good -- in a big way.
- A photo from Robert Pattinson's Dior Homme fragrance campaign leaked. It shows him hanging out on a roof, and he most likely smells good doing it.

Banyan Receives STC for Broadband 200 Products
Banyan Air Service received the first STC for the SwiftBroadBand 200 class of service in the U.S. The lightweight Inmarsat-based Aviator 200 "allows you to board the aircraft, sync your iPhone to the terminal, choose Wi-Fi mode and with a $2.99 application you can dial directly from your iPhone contact list using the unit's voice channel instead of an Internet channel," Alvie Barron, director of North American sales for Banyan Aviation, told AIN. "You can make a telephone call for about $1.50 a minute, surf the Internet or use your iPad with as much as a 200-kilobyte data transfer because it's an Inmarsat-based system. That's about a hundred times more than an Iridium system at 2 kilobytes of data, and it has a dedicated aircraft phone; your iPhone won't work."
Barron said the equipment takes seven to 10 days to install and costs approximately $75,000 complete. "I've used the phone and my iPad in the air; it's faster than I anticipated. The pilots love the service," he said.

Francar's makes Movoto's "30 Things to Know About Macon" list
28. You Should Try All 39 Sauces At Francar's
Source: Wikimedia Commons
Francar's Buffalo Wings, owned and operated by Carl Fambro, has 39 homemade sauces to adorn its wings and chicken tenders. They range in heat from Level 1 (very mild) to Level 4 (extremely spicy and not for the faint of heart). There are classics like Buffalo and unique flavors like Tangy Peach and Exotic BBQ. The Mercer Gold, a mustard-based sauce, is not to be missed.

Francar's 20th Anniversary
Mar 22
We Wing It In The Corridor
Original article via
Francar's Buffalo Wings have been nothing short of a Macon staple over their last 20 years. The entire month of March, Francar's commemorates its 20 year anniversary of serving the diners of Macon. A Central High School and then Mercer University grad, Carl Fambro spent 14 years in the armed service and took his separation pay to help realize his dream: create his own business. "I knew I wanted to create my own destiny", recounts Mr. Fambro. His original goal was to remain close to his collegiate alma mater but the desired space neighboring Mercer University was too run down and a location on Log Cabin Drive was increasing in interest.
While his original dream was to own and manage three restaurants, Fambro found that perfecting one was his gift. Francar's sold countless wings at the Log Cabin location for 12 years when an opportunity emerged to move closer to Mercer, with Pi Kappa Phi fraternity doing much of the coaxing. Ultimately, a second location to later be considered in the Mercer Village was opened. The two restaurants existed simultaneously for a few months until Fambro decided the Mercer location was where they were meant to be. Many even refer to him now as the "Mayor of Mercer Village"! This story, however does not remain within the walls that contain the restaurant, but rather, in the incredible people who built the business.
Carl Fambro met his wife whom most Mercerians affectionately refer to as "Mrs. Sharon" after she graduated Georgia State University. Though living in Atlanta, she took a visit back to her hometown of Macon and stopped by Francar's to pick up a meal. After stopping in several times to dine, she came in for what appeared to be a routine pick up and was then put to work to make a delivery for the swamped Carl Fambro. Several dates and months later, they were married and continued to build the, then, wing joint.
Their love for Mercer and all of their Macon customers is deeply seeded and apparent from the student-inspired wing sauces on the menu to Mrs. Sharon teaching us manners when we step out of line. Not only is the restaurant responsive to student requests and ideas, but actively work to better the relationship with Mercer students and the Macon community. Carl Fambro can often be found talking with the students of Ingram Pye Elementary in addition to recruiting other professionals such as doctors, attorneys, Mercer students, and local business owners to do the same.
Much has changed over 20 years. Never did Fambro idealize a restaurant beyond wings but now he is hoping to make the demand of featuring is Mardi Gras-made-famous Gumbo permanently on the menu. Francar's can also be found as concessions during basketball games in addition to catering countless events per week. The location and menu has changed along with many of its customers but, much has not. The strong and responsive relationships with the students in addition to much of the greater Macon area have proven Francar's Buffalo Wings to be a Macon landmark.
How might Francar's be celebrating their 20 year anniversary? T-shirts can be bought for just $10 commemorating the milestone as well as a celebration this coming Saturday with free cake and cookies to its customers.

So You Want to open a Restaurant
There is a lot of interest in opening small businesses. One popular idea is to open a restaurant and become rich. I was asked to present my own views to a group of potential restaurant entrepreneurs in Ft Valley.
The turnout was above average (I have done these several times in past 5 years) with 15 actually showing up for the one hour presentation. We ended up staying for two hours and I hope I provided value for the time invested by the attendees.
Here I offer an extract of that presentation to give you an idea of the business side of opening and running a restaurant. I have already discussed my culinary history and training so we will skip that and head immediately into the briefing.
First, I seek the real motivation for opening the restaurant? If you like to cook or to bake for your family and think that love of cooking directly translates into cooking for a business let me disabuse you of that notion. These are totally and completely two different animals. Cooking for the family is limited to a few individuals, a few meals and is on a schedule that you set up. Cooking for a business is daily, all day and several times a day. The number of meals will be large if you are good. It does not matter about your personal schedule or motivations….if the doors are supposed to be open, and then you must perform. The same is true for back yard grillers who decide to open a Barbeque joint……business is not home cooking. The quantities are larger, cooking times are longer, interactions with the vendors is constant and the work load never decreases.
I gave the group a simple quiz to get the thought processes flowing about the impact a business can have on life:
- How many days have your worked without a break?
- Is quality time with spouse and children important?
- Exactly who will operate the restaurant?
- What will your role be?
- What motivates you?
I asked these to get each attendee to think about what they would be willing to surrender to succeed in business. Many restaurants are open 6-7 days a week. Even on closed days, the owner may be required work simply to stay ahead on paperwork, perform cleaning details, prepping for next day…and it never stops.
Are you willing to spend your "quality time" with spouse and children in the restaurant? You will likely miss out on soccer games, graduations, weddings and other activities in the family and friend circle.
If you are to be an absentee owner, save yourself the hassle and headache of opening a business, get a match and just burn your money now. No one will watch the business the way you will….not for your benefit.
Will you know how to work you restaurant? Will you do your own inventory? Write your own checks? You better!
If you only motivation is a check, you probably should not open any business. There will be days when going to work is hard and even the thought of making money will not be sufficient motivation to get you going. But you still must open the doors. Customers are depending on you to be available.
My intent was to hold a very informal presentation. I arranged the topics rather generically to give myself room to diverge when necessary. The three key areas of discussion were: commitment, experience and finances. We spent a few minutes on each.
Concerning commitment:
- How much planning and research have you done? Do you know local and state requirements? Do you know what items you will sell and which ingredients are needed and the quantities? Got a location yet? Any staff?
- Have you started a business plan? A business plan is complicated; you may need some serious assistance before proceeding. Many organizations offer assistance on business plans: include an overview, financial (personal, projections, costs, payrolls, etc…), marketing index, customer base, product descriptions, qualifications, loan requirements and more.
- What are your desires for a family and home life? Are you family centric? Owning a small business is not conducive to promoting family life. If participating on holidays, birthdays and other major holidays is important to you (weekends?), think again about owning a small business. Do you have a family? Will spouse work in the business? Insurance coverage? How will children get to and from school?
- What is your work ethic? Are you willing to stay that extra hour or two each day? Willing to come in early to make sure all the prep work is done and save on labor costs? Are you willing to work weeks without a break to get into the black?
- You got to pay to play. Employees cost money. Supplies cost money. Utilities cost money. Maintenance, purchase of equipment, cleaning, accountants, taxes all tend to add up. You must have the money, access to the money and /or the ability to sleep while in debt.
Concerning experience:
- Remember the 5 "w's" when researching a news article for a newspaper. Treat this project the same. Why are you opening a restaurant? What is you experience and training? Do you have more than passing knowledge of the business? When is the deadline? When will you start paying rent? Utilities? When do employees go on payroll? What do you plan on selling? Have you done a survey? Who and what will be the marketing scheme?
- Who is running the show? If not you, then you may not survive very long. Will this manager be your spouse, a friend or a referral from a friend? Friendship and finances may not always mix.
- Trust me and the real estate agent. Location IS everything! Bad location almost can never be overcome. Good location is a gold mine!! Use the real estate agent to find what you need…but you look. Trust but verify!!
- You must plan every detail of your operation. The business plan will be vital here done properly…it can show you pitfalls, help decision making on continuing to open, guide you when new competition enters the market and/or help adjust to major industry changes. The level of detail in the business plan will influence your banker on that loan you seek.
- Do you have the personality of an entrepreneur? Are you willing to chase that extra dollar? Can you sleep at night knowing your cash flow is the only thing keeping your doors open for extended periods?
- Did you go to culinary school? Recipes are family secrets? Off the internet? Tested?
- Where will you find employees? Can you conduct appropriate interviews? How will you know if employees are trained or not?
- Food safety issues impact your restaurant from the food service company till the product hits the customer's plate. Proper temperature control in transit? Do you accept the frozen seafood that is slightly soft off the truck? Can you sell those leftovers from last week if not dated and labeled? What are chances of contributing to food borne illness incident?
Concerning finances:
- Cash flow is the lifeblood of a small business. Let the CPA handle the profit and loss and net worth. You keep the sales coming in, hold down the expenses and know your actual balance.
- Any banker or lender will want an updated personal financial statement.
- Money in the bank is the most important number you need to know daily. Use online banking and track your balance daily.
- You must have at least at least enough funds on hand to operate for a year. Many businesses go under that first year. The common belief is that 90% of new businesses fail in the first year.
- Paying bills is vitally important…particularly the taxes, supply bills, utilities…..usually your own salary is paid last if at all.
That was "big picture" stuff. Let's look at some small details you cannot ignore if intend to stay open:
BUSINESS APPLICATION (ALL ENTITIES: CITY, COUNTY AND STATE)…usually renewed annually
SALES PEOPLE…..call, mail or stop by everyday competing for your attention and dollars
SEASONAL TRENDS affect your business. Could be weather, school sessions in or out, sports seasons, holidays, music concerts, etc….
HEALTH DEPT QUALIFICATIONS……usually every 5 years and at least one person must be qualified
SALES TAX paid monthly
GREASE TRAP UPKEEP could be 2 – 3 times a year cleaning and is required by the EPA and MWA
GARBAGE DISPOSAL is often once or twice a week.
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES include a minimum fee and a per transaction fee each month
PERSONAL AND CORPORATE TAXES required annually (state and federal)
VEHICLE INSURANCE FOR BUSINESS required if use a vehicle for business
EQUIPMENT INVENTORY TAX due at end of each year on equipment you already purchased
INVENTORY TAX must be paid on inventory left in store at year's end
BUSINESS LICENSE RENEWALS required each year
OCCUPATION TAX is paid to city each year based on the number of employees
BEER/WINE/ALCOHOL FEES AND APPLICATION due each year to city and state for each type beverage
LIABILITY INSURANCE is needed for your protection
WORKER'S COMP is needed to protect workers hurt on job
EMPLOYEE SALARY gets paid before you get paid
EMPLOYEE TAX is paid monthly ( FICA and SSAN)
REPAIR BILLS are due every time you think you have a surplus in bank
UTILITY BILLS due each month
FOOD SERVICE BILLS must be paid each time you get a delivery
HEALTH DEPT RENEWAL is paid annually
HOOD CLEANING is required 3-4 times a year
CREDIT CARD EQUIPMENT INVENTORY TAX is paid annually based on how many machines are lease (if any, have the option to buy).
You may have noticed that I did not include owner salary on this list. That is for a reason. You are usually the last to be paid, if you get paid at all. You really need to have enough money set aside to tide you the first year.
Now we come to the end of the presentation and I answer questions. Questions presented:
Have long have you been in business?
Was opening your business worthwhile?
Where is your business located?
What are different items you have tried on the menu?
How do you work with spouse and family?
How do you divide duties?
Would you open your own business again?
Where do you get your employees?
Do you take vacations?
Then we concluded the session. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and interacting with people just thinking about getting into the business. If you wish to know more about programs presented at Ft Valley State University, contact information is listed below:

Using Social Media
It seems as if every business owner should be using social media to achieve absolute
success over night otherwise they may fall far behind the times. I am sure that I am not
alone in feeling besieged by daily offers to make my media experience easy and to make
my cash register ring.
Everyone– children, parents, young adults, college students, working adults, business
people and corporations… is using some type of social media these days. The list
appears endless and it really is a bit of a shock now when I meet someone who does
not have a Facebook page or a twitter account or at least an email address. I actually
thought of myself as the last dinosaur in the world that did not want and had no desire
to participate in the world wide web of social extension. Things have changed to some
degree after arriving in Mercer Village. Here are few observations, realizing up front I am
the farthest thing from an expert……actually an unwilling beginning novice might be a
more adequate description.
First, using social media is not as easy as it sounds in the pitch. You must commit
some time to at least setting up your site. All small business owners know that time is
a precious resource not to be squandered. Any errors that occur here now will follow
you and demand attention to correct later on. A mistake in setting up may be merely
aggravating or require a "do-over". For example, I have two Facebook accounts. This
was not by design. Still working on what the second one is for and defining how to use
either account to maximum potential. With any media, someone has to sit down, decide
what to write and then write….each time and on a regular basis. This writer needs to
generate some creativity because it does not take long to run out of ideas. Characteristics
for starting and running a business do not always equate to creativity or lend free time to
develop the same.
Second, the old cliché about not knowing what you do not know is still valid. For an
extended period, I had social media that I paid for but I had no ideas as to what that all
entailed besides a vague notion that something was out there I kept paying invoices in
exchange for my web site. I had "free emails" as part of one of my accounts to maintain
contact with customers for mass mailings. Even the text company has additional little
freebies to help maintain contact if you are willing to explore their site.
Other options besides Facebook are twitter, emails, foursquare, blogging of course, QR
Codes. Each has its own nooks and crannies to explore. Sometimes it is fun. Of course,
using social media has become a business and even for those dinosaurs like me, social
media can be a big asset. Even old school media is jumping on the band wagon to use the
latest forms social media and to encourage clients to combine the two. Some of the ideas
are quite intriguing and may actually work. I use an independent company, "Limitless
Konceptions" to help keep me connected: my teacher, my critic and my main man in the
social media realm (and a former Mercer Grad) is Dontel Newton.
Third, the above is about the extent of my knowledge. I can recognize the names of most
of these media instruments and have some familiarity with them. I am not an expert and
definitely still uncomfortable using social media outlets. I know I am behind the power
curve as new, faster means of communication arrive, thrive or fail. Email has definitely
fallen off the train, while twitter seems to be still growing and effective. Texting is also
very effective if the offer is a good one.
Fourth, there are good reasons to use social media for a business. They are more cost
effective than traditional marketing efforts such as relying on flyers, robo-calls, television
or radio. Instead of trying to reach everyone (even those who have no interest), I can
seek out those who do want to do business with me. I can easily maintain contact with
you once you voluntarily provide your contact information. This becomes a marriage of
convenience for the two of us.
Fifth, there are good reasons for customers to participate in social media with a business.
Since I spend less money on advertising, I can offer better discounts on my coupons. I
am not paying for printing costs or air time therefore I can offer better coupons. Since I
am talking directly to you and like-minded friends instantly, you can arrange a meeting
among yourselves in no time to come and visit the restaurant. You will typically get more
and better coupons resulting hopefully in mass turnouts. Win-win for all.
Let's cheer for social media: Text "fbwings" to 41411.

God's Love Lyrics - Bad Religion
Review The Song (4)
Striking at mental apparitions
Like a drunk on a vacant street
Silently beset by the hands of time
Indelicate in its fury
An aberrant crack as skeletons yield
To unrelenting gravity
While viruses prowl for helpless victims
Who succumb rapidly
(Tell me!) Tell me; where is the love?
In a careless creation
When there's no "aboveâ€
There's no justice
Just a cause and a cure
And a bounty of suffering
It seems we all endure
And what I'm frightened of
sponsored linksIs that they call it "God's loveâ€
Twisted torment, make-believe
There's a truth and we all submit
"Believe my eyes,†my brain complies
To all that they interpret
I know there's no reason for alarm
But who needs perspective when it comes to pain and harm
We can change our minds; there's a better prize
But first you've got to…
They call it God's love
My pain is God's love

? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/8/12
If God is all powerful, and capable of creating and taking life, then wouldn't he be able to just better our behavior? After all, if he created us, then he created our sinful ways too, so technically God is a genocidal maniac who wants to kill for faults he cast upon us. No?
Love is not abstention of murder | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/23/11
What right does your nonexistent god have to murder the entire human race for the sinful actions of some. If he is all powerful why must his only Son die to rescue us? Bullshit. Love is not the abstention of murder. If God he existed he'd be a psychopath.
this song is wrong.... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/15/11
because god shows his love in many ways this guy whos singing just does not see it. 1 way he showed his love he was gonna eliminate us because of our sinful ways. But he didnt he sacrificed his son and gave us new life through his painful death.

- "The responsibility is immense. He is so well loved."
- — Ben Small commenting on voicing Thomas, 2009 Metro article
Ben Small (born 1971) is a British actor descending from Canadian stock, who provides voices for the UK and US versions of Thomas and Friends.
Other credits include, "Lunar Jim", "Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs", "Clifford the Big Red Dog", "Watch My Chops", "Make Way for Noddy", and "Wallace and Gromit's Cracking Contraptions".

- He also sings the song, The Wheels on Thomas, which can only be heard at Day Out with Thomas events in the UK.
- HiT Entertainment wanted him to concentrate on Thomas alone, but it was later decided that he could also voice Toby if he wished to do so. This then snowballed because HiT wanted to have the same voices for some characters in both the UK and US versions.
- Small said in an interview with the Sodor Island Fansite that he was a fan of the Railway Series in his youth. He said that he listened to the Johnny Morris recordings as a child.
- Small and Keith Wickham previously worked together on the BBC children's television series, "Watch My Chops" (aka "Corneil & Bernie"). Wickham voiced Corneil the dog and Small voiced Bernie, his dogsitter.
- He originally auditioned for the part of Thomas in the US version, but did not get the part.
- He and TUGS voice actors Ian James Corlett, Michael Donovan, and Richard Newman voiced characters on "Make Way for Noddy".


text: HomeVideodrome: The Real 'Shame' Lies in Heavy-Handed Approach to Addiction Print article Send a Tip by Hunter Duesing 18 Apr 2012 post a comment I saw Steve McQueen's "Shame" in a theater full of elderly couples. I knew going in the movie was a nice, hard NC-17, but I wasn't quite prepared for the onslaught of wall-to-wall screwing that followed. I felt almost as uncomfortable in the theater as the moment Robert De Niro takes Cybil Shepherd to a porno movie in "Taxi Driver." When the credits rolled, the woman behind me said to her husband, "That is THE LAST time you can be trusted to pick a movie!" I saw her giving him an earful in the lobby afterward. Ouch. Silly anecdotes aside, "Shame" is a movie that really almost got there for me, but it just barely failed to knock down all the milk bottles and take home the cuddly stuffed monkey. The film sets out to paint a portrait of naked addiction, as Michael Fassbender stars as a man with a frightening sexual appetite he feeds via pornography, as well as cold, loveless bouts of intercourse with strangers. When his troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) moves in with him unannounced, she is treated by him not as a family member, but as a nuisance, an obstacle that gets in the way of him fulfilling his base desires in a convenient manner. Their volatile relationship is where the film is at its best, as it brilliantly illustrates what people who would otherwise be considered loved ones become when they interfere with a junkie itching for that next fix. Everything else is rather heavy-handed, and in a few years will probably seem as camp as the material in "Requiem for a Dream" or "The Lost Weekend" appear now, as they are earlier films that were throat-grabbing depictions of addiction at the time, but now seem over-the-top with distance and age (with all due respect to the great Billy Wilder). The scenes where Fassbender's sex addict trolls the streets and subways for a careless partner reminded me of the brilliant sequence in Brian De Palma's "Dressed to Kill" in which Angie Dickinson simultaneously stalks and flirts with a stranger at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, leading to a life-altering sexual encounter. Yet "Shame" director Steve McQueen's approach isn't as subtle or precise as De Palma's and feels too anguished in the emotions it's attempting to convey. By the time the film reaches the third act, McQueen goes into overdrive, applying an art-house power-drill to the audiences' skull. Though it's never as violent as what Darren Aronofsky did in "Requiem," it's every bit as overwrought. Fassbender's performance is excellent as always; he has earned his stripes as a respected leading man in both mainstream and art-house films. Mulligan is normally a non-entity in movies, but she provides the film with its most tense, explosive moments. It feels as though she and Fassbender are going to burst into flames at any moment and destroy each other. It would've been nice if McQueen had gotten out of the way and let the actors explore the themes, because they do such a magnificent job when he isn't showing off. "Shame" is ultimately worth seeing for the work they do, in spite of its directorial showboating.

Major Proposals Made by Individual Speakers
• Eliminate laboratory developed tests and have all genomic diagnostic tests undergo FDA review and approval. (Hayes)
• Base FDA approval on analytical validity and clinical utility, not clinical validity and intended use. (Hayes)
• Consolidate the review of all oncologic products within a single FDA office. (Hayes)
• Base reimbursement on the value of a genomic diagnostic test to patients, payers, and society. (Hayes)
• Clarify the regulatory and reimbursement pathways for genomic test development. (Siegel)
• Preserve physician discretion in ordering, interpreting, and delivering diagnostics, therapies, and other forms of care. (Conti)
• Ensure that agency decision making is transparent, with rulemaking by notice and comment rather than through guidelines. (Conti)
• Standardize the validation of protocols and enhance quality control to improve the efficiency of test development. (van 't Veer)
• Provide guidance for IRBs on how to review genomic tests. (van 't Veer)
• Provide opportunities and incentives for guidelines committees and regulatory bodies to harmonize their definitions of clinical utility. (van 't Veer)
• Reform reimbursement to recognize the value of diagnostic tests, their impact on health care, and the resources needed to develop and validate tests. (Enns)
• Establish reliable and accurate performance standards for new genomic tests.(Enns)
of the possible and promising tests can be developed, so the system should enable more to be developed, not fewer.
With regard to the distinction between CLIA-regulated tests and FDA-approved tests, Shak said that "the devil is in the details." Either route could yield regulation that is fit for purpose. In that respect, looking at the purpose of a test and then deciding on the proper kind of regulation may be more appropriate than the opposite.
Leonard said that it may be inaccurate to contrast an FDA path with an LDT path because there are many different LDT paths. For example, the path is much different in academia than in industry. "Maybe we need to start talking about different LDT pathways and think about the benefits of each." van 't Veer agreed and also observed that the complexity of tests varies greatly. Some require many levels of analysis, data integration, and bioinformatics, while others are relatively simple molecular tests. In addi-

CHICAGO | Rocky Wirtz is no George Steinbrenner, save for one commonality.
Their bottom line is winning.
Blackhawks owner Wirtz believes in spending money to make money, like late Yankees owner Steinbrenner. He has repeatedly admitted his team runs in the red – the losses absorbed by parent Wirtz Corp. – as former general manager Dale Tallon built one Stanley Cup champion and successor Stan Bowman re-tooled for another.
Wirtz has thus earned the admiration of an entire city of semi-title-starved fans, but also has won friends and influenced people to make the Blackhawks probably the No. 2 franchise in town in popularity. With two Stanley Cup championships in the last four years, the Hawks are certainly No. 1 in quality over the Bears, who inspire wall-to-wall media coverage and massive TV ratings every Sunday.
Under Wirtz, team president John McDonough and general manager Stan Bowman have assembled a confluence of riches. Their team is both talented and telegenic. And built to last. The Hawks should serve as a model for the other under-performing, under-managed local franchises.
Beyond the glitz and glitter, of Patrick Kane appearing with David Letterman tonight and the Stanley Cup going on bar-hopping and parade duty this week, are sound talent judgments. Even McDonough, the ultimate salesman, admits winning is the best marketing tool. And in the NHL, you don't win without an elite goalie.
The Hawks have found that man in Corey Crawford. Despite second-guessing of Crawford's inconsistent play in 2011-12 that featured no shutouts and two soft playoff game-winning goals allowed against the Coyotes, Bowman firmly supported the netminder.
Crawford out-played Jonathan Quick and Tuukka Rask, two goalies with bigger reputations. The Hawks would not have won the Stanley Cup without him keeping the team in every game.
He should have won the Conn Smyth Award as the playoffs MVP. Out-of-town writers outpolled Chicago scribes to grant the honor to Patrick Kane instead. Low-key and introspective, Crawford is the most indispensable Hawks player going forward.
Kane and Jonathan Toews are obvious absorbing personalities. Patrick Sharp has long been male-model handsome. Yet the appeal of the team extends in many different directions, ensnaring casual fans who don't know a forecheck from a checkmate.
Andrew Shaw is now the devilish rascal that many folks love. The smallest Hawk, who just can't keep from uttering the f-bomb on network TV, is a personality around which blue-collar types can rally.
There are no bad guys on the Hawks, no Milton Bradleys or even moderately prickly types like A.J. Pierzynski. Not a Jay Cutler in sight.
Defenseman Duncan Keith can be grumpy – especially to a female radio reporter in Vancouver – and yet he spent plenty of time handling the mobs of media during the Stanley Cup Final.
McDonough has a dress code for male employees – suits and ties. And yet even he could laugh at himself minutes after the Cup was won, declaring a Tuesday holiday from neckwear. His media relations staff actually thanks reporters for their coverage, and showing up for games.
Wirtz has conjured up the total package for the fan. That might include price increases. And yet unlike his Chicago sports competition, the owner will be charging for the best quality in his game.

Golf Cart EducationGolf carts (not the kind with motors) allow golfers to walk a round with ease, not having to pack heavy clubs on their back for 18 holes. Golfers looking to avoid the additional costs of electric or gas cart fees, and who enjoy the exercise of walking the course, will benefit greatly from a well constructed golf cart. Golf carts come designed with ease of use in mind, allowing for excellent storing, easy rolling, and loaded with features to make your time on the course even more convenient and enjoyable than ever before. Take advantage of additional storage, custom locations for balls, tees, scorecards, tools and beverages. If you've always been a walker who uses a carry bag, you'll love the added energy you'll have on the back nine of a round. Less energy spent packing clubs means you'll be more fresh and ready to swing pure when battling finishing holes. Avoid those late round blow-ups and enjoy your walk on the course like never before with a golf cart.
Shop Closeout Golf Carts
Pull CartsPull carts offer a simple and cheap solution if you don't want to carry clubs on your back. There aren't many extraneous features on these carts and they typically include a place for a stand bag and holders for a scorecard, pencil and tees. These are the more traditional carts you'll find for rent at most golf courses. You pull your clubs behind you, and they offer little in way of key features.
Push CartsPush carts offer another level of utility and require less effort to maneuver than pull carts. Nearly all of them include the basic accessory holders for tees, scorecard and pencil. Many models can accommodate either a stand or cart bag and include holders for balls, umbrella and a drink. Some carts also include a sand/seed bottle holder.
Height adjustments are standard and can accommodate any size golfer. Simple "parking" brake mechanisms are often found near the handle to keep the cart from rolling away while you hit the ball. All push carts unfold/fold quickly and easily for storage and feature solid tires that require no maintenance. While there are many standard features that don't vary between brands or models, there are a few specifications you should consider when choosing a push cart.
- Weight: Push carts range from just over 10 lbs. to over 20 lbs. Lighter weight offers obvious benefits when pushing up long hills, ease when setting the brake and while packing the cart up and into the car. Heavier models most likely offer more bells and whistles, as well as added durability.
- Wheels: Four wheels provide more stability and can tackle tougher terrain than three-wheel carts, but are also heavier. Also consider the size – oversize wheels are much easier to push through thick grass and rough terrain.
- Dimensions: A lower height will provide a lower center of gravity and provide more stability on uneven ground. Smaller carts are easier to pack and store, while larger carts may function better on the course and provide additional storage features.

AOSP Maintainer Quits
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the thanks-for-all-the-hard-work dept.221
In a post on Google+, Jean-Baptiste Quéru, long-time maintainer of the Android Open Source Project, has said he'll no longer be working on it. "There's no point being the maintainer of an Operating System that can't boot to the home screen on its flagship device for lack of GPU support, especially when I'm getting the blame for something that I don't have authority to fix myself and that I had anticipated and escalated more than 6 months ahead." Quéru is referring to the recently-released Nexus 7 revision, for which Google has not provided factory images of Android 4.3. This seems to be because GPU maker Qualcomm is refusing to release the blobs necessary to boot the device.

windows 7
Windows 7 slowed to a crawl
My system has slowed to a crawl (and rebooting makes no difference). Every mouse click takes anything between 10 and 60 seconds to get a response and most programmes state 'not responding'.
When I boot into Safe Mode it's fine, so I'm guessing it's not a hardware problem. I tried rolling back to a system restore point just before some software and updates were installed (they were updates to Acrobat Reader plus installs of a You Tube downloader and a Video Format Comverter) but it makes no difference.
I tried looking at the Event Viewer but couldn't make much sense of it.
Presumably, if I can start in Safe Mode and then gradually add whatever else loads I can find the culprit - but how do I go about doing that?
Don't know if it's relevant but Windows Explorer keeps falling over (which it seems to do a lot) and Kaspersky Anti_Virus was
reporting a database corruption, but it now seems to have recovered form that since I rolled back to the restore point - though unfortunately it wont run in safe mode.

Advances And Recognitions
Overview Stony Brook Children's is a major clinical and research center for pediatric neurosurgery and the only pediatric neurosurgery program in Suffolk County that has a board-certified neurosurgeon. We offer comprehensive, multidisciplinary services, collaborating closely with our colleagues in pediatric neurology, pediatric intensive care and other subspecialties. Our patients also have access to all the ancillary services available in an academic medical center, including state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, Child Life services, and more. Each year, we perform about 200 neurosurgical operations and see about 1,500 children on an outpatient basis.
Contact Us NY Spine & Brain Surgery, U.F.P.C.
24 Research Way, Suite 200
Our TeamMichael Egnor, MD - Division Chief
Additional Expertise Dr. Egnor's colleagues at NY Spine and Brain work closely with him as needed to provide a full range of related neurological services including one the nation's best cerebrovascular programs. Patients also have access to the full complement of other specialists and subspecialists associated with the medical center.
Services Stony Brook's Pediatric Neurosurgery Division diagnoses and treats a broad range of brain and spine problems. The conditions most often referred to us are hydrocephalus and all types of brain and spinal cord tumors. We also serve as one of the area's major pediatric neurosurgical centers for trauma.
Neuroendoscopy is used on a frequent basis. With this technology, we can go into the ventricles of the brain and place catheters and open cysts using a minimally invasive approach. For treatment of tumors, we have the latest in computer-guided stereotaxis as well as all the technology available in the cerebrovascular center.
The scope of diagnoses that we treat includes:
Patient Resources Hydrocephalus Foundation, Inc. Comprehensive information about hydrocephalus. http://www.hydrocephalus.org/
Spinal Cord Tumor Association, Inc. Not-for-profit organization formed by spinal cord tumor survivors for the purpose of supporting survivors and their families. http://www.spinalcordtumor.homestead.com/index.html
Research and Education The Division has concentrated significant research effort—both basic science and clinical studies—on understanding and treating hydrocephalus. The working theory is that hydrocephalus is related to the pulsatility of the flow of cerebrospinal fluid to the brain. The goal is to be able to develop better shunts or other devices to treat hydrocephalus. Dr. Egnor and colleagues have published numerous scientific papers describing their efforts and discoveries.
Advances and Recognitions Division Chief Dr. Michael Egnor has been recognized repeatedly for his teaching ability as well as his work with abused and neglected children. His awards include twice receiving the "Outstanding Teaching Abilities in Pediatrics from the Department of Pediatrics." He also has received the Child Abuse and Neglect Volunteer and Professional of the Year Award in Health Brookhaven Youth Bureau.
Definitions Arnold Chiari Deformity - Also known as chiari malformations (CMs), these structural defects are in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance. CMs may develop when the bony space is smaller than normal, causing the cerebellum and brain stem to be pushed down toward the upper spinal canal. The resulting pressure on the cerebellum and brain stem may block the flow of cerebrospinal fluid—the clear liquid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord—to and from the brain, and affect functioning.
Craniosynostosis - A birth defect in which the bones of the skull close prematurely, limiting or distorting the skull's growth. It is characterized in infancy by an abnormal but characteristic head shape.
Endovascular surgery - Minimally invasive surgery using catheters.
Hydrocephalus - A disorder in which too much cerebrospinal fluid, usually under high pressure, accumulates in the cavities of the brain. This can be caused by a birth defect, brain tumor, infection, hemorrhage, or brain injury.
Pediatric Brain Tumors - Symptoms and signs occur due to pressure on neural structures, with resultant irritation or destruction.
Pediatric Degenerative Disc - This condition is characterized by damage to the invertebral discs, the gel-like cushions that separate each segment of the backbone or spine. Pain and stiffness in the neck and/or back can result, as well as pain that spreads to the back of the head, trunk, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and feet.
Pediatric Herniated Disc - A break in the cartilage surrounding a disc in the spine, causing pressure on spinal nerves that produce pain down the arms or legs. Usually preceded by an episode of neck or low back pain or a long history of intermittent neck or back pain.
Spinal Cord Injuries - Commonly referred to as a "broken" neck or back, spinal cord injuries can lead to paralysis and loss of motor function. Correction of defects associated with spinal cord injury can improve neurologic function.
Tethered Cord Syndrome - This occurs when the spinal cord attaches itself to the bony spine and causes abnormal stretching of the spinal cord. It can result in permanent damage to the muscles and nerves in the lower body and legs.

Law Department Operations
E-discovery: What is the optimal model for corporations?
According to Science Daily, 90 percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years. That is a sobering statistic for corporations trying to control the cost and risk of their litigation discovery.There are multiple ways to bring order to this chaos, but which is...
More self-service legal: Get your firms to give you what you want
The business people in your company have a disdain for the expense and inefficiency of calling the law department for every little thing and so should you.
Survival of the efficient
The ability to handle the selection of technology, management of processes, efficiencies, training and outside counsel has become key to the success of law departments. Increasingly, that has meant hiring a dedicated legal department operations (LDO) executive.
Need benchmarking? Take the 2014 LDO survey
Now in its seventh year, it is the only survey dedicated to benchmarking the operations of legal departments in areas including staffing, technology, e-discovery, cost management, metrics/reporting, and relationships with outside counsel.
Legal management software aims at simplifying counsel's bookkeeping
Legal management software that meets the needs of a business' compliance standards, while maintaining secure communications, is vital.
Considerations to ensure the success of outside counsel and legal vendor programs
After all of these years and through all of these efforts, we have several observations that are important to consider when building world-class outside counsel and legal vendor management programs.
Building a world-class legal vendor management program starts with identification and goals
Optimization only results when the general counsel and LDO make productive changes to the internal and external relationships that consist of the right mix of in-house professionals, outside counsel and clients.
End of a trend and the shifting of LDO functions
In the years since 2008, the operations function has gained respect and many general counsel expect their "LDO" (an abbreviation that did not exist when we started) to deliver process, efficiency and cost savings to the law department.
Inside the rise of law department operations
Beyond the numbers, you know you are winning when you feel the culture shifting, or as Matt Fawcett put it, when you can say "welcome to the modern world."

Smells delicious and actually tastes good too. Doesn't make my lips as soft in the long run as my burts bees, but it's still very good, and seems to be enhancing the natural colour of my lips over time. I like the packaging in theory, but I find myself dropping it, product down a lot, and I have to scrape off the outer layer. Still, I would repurchase.
After about 6 or 7 uses of this lip balm, my lips started feeling swollen and the corners of my mouth got very sore and swollen, resembling small pimples. Do not buy this! It even dried out my lips. Gah.
I am going to the store to get more!! This stuff has been the only Chapstick to help my lips... I have used everything including the new Babylips by Maybelline and nothing has helped. I'm pregnant and one of my beautiful symptoms has been the most crustiest lips ever lol, and this stuff actually works.. I use it before I put on my lipstick and gloss for the day and at night before I go to bed, and when I wake in the middle of the night for a restroom trip (another beautiful symptom) I put on more and I wake in the morning with soft lips. Guys use this stuff cake it on.. It works wonders... If it works for me I know it can work for y'all! :)
This lip balm annoys the heck outta me! It's like I'm applying in vain. It smells wonderful, and is deliciously sweet, but I'm not getting that desired supple feeling. On my lips, it feels very waxy; just sitting on top of them and not being absorbed. I must admit though, this lasts quite a long time on my lips, but when it finally wears, I don't feel a difference. Not sure if I will repurchase
I would suggest getting something else
I definitely heard good reviews of EOS so i decided to try it out and bought this at my local drugstore. I was attracted to the packaging; it is a round egg-like shape and the top twists off very easily. At first when I got this product, I fell in love with it. The smell was amazing, it felt good on my lips because it smelled so great, and the shape of the chapstick was convenient (I tend to lose chapsticks a lot because theyre so small nowadays but the EOS lip balm makes it easier for me to find it in my purse)
However, after a few weeks of keeping it in my purse, some lint got in between the corners of the product so it does get dirty easily. (Not the product itself, just the container). As far as actually moisturizing my lips, it did moisturize my lips but I did find myself re-applying every hour or so. Even after applying this product several times in the day, I still felt like it didn't give me enough moisturization as I wanted.
I'm still debating whether or not I will buy this product again. The EOS lip balm is great but I wouldn't suggest it to anyone who has really dry lips because it doesn't last long. If you're looking for a simple everyday lip balm to keep your lips smelling really good, then this product would be perfect. If you have chronic dry lips, then you're better off using Burt's Bees for the longer lasting moisturization.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I heard very good things about this product but as soon as I've used it the first time I was not impressed. At first, the balm didn't apply easily. As soon as I managed to get the balm on my lips, I had a terrible reaction! My lips become extremely dry and chapped and the skin around the lips gets affected also. It takes weeks for my skin to heal. I was actually really hoping for this product to be my go-to.
to date everyone i know just loves this adorable little lip balm. however i do not. i gave it 2 lippies: 1 for the delicious scent and the 2nd for the adorable packaging. however it does absolutely nothing to moisturize my lips, in fact they feel even dryer after it has rubbed off. I ended up giving mine away to my little cousin. no good for me, sorry
EDIT: my bad.. i reviewed the wrong flavour. i never tried summer fruit, i tried strawberry sorbet, the pink one. that's the one with the yummy smell
I remember seeing a few good reviews for this and being the lip balm fanatic that I am, I had to try it. It is literally like rubbing a candle on your lips. It is way too hard. The wax to oil ratio is terrible. So not only is it not pleasurable to apply, but it doesn't moisturize well (predictably). This is definitely one of the worst balms I've tried and the scent I really don't care for at all. Overall, if you are looking for a great balm, try Pangea's (HG of all balms) or Ole Henriksen's or Dr. Bronner's. Packaging is almost as bad as the balm itself.
Olive Oil, Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Natural Flavor, Shea Butter, Stevia Rabaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract, Vitamin E, Sunflower Seed Oil, Blueberry Fruit Extract, Strawberry Fruit Extract, Peach Fruit Extract, Linalool.
Looking at the ingredients list I'm trying to find out where it fails, and I have to say that olive oil and coconut oil so high was not a good choice. I've studied the ingredients of the balms I've found the most effective (having tried over 100). Most of the really moisturizing balms have jojoba and sunflower really high and then a really intensely moisturizing oil like borage, hemp, rosehip, or avocado after, and then a citrus oil towards the end.
I'm afraid all the extracts do it no good, and it would have been better if they just had one extract (blueberry, for instance) so the flavor would have been pure and not sicky sweet artificial smelling. Pass on this one.
VERDICT: Bad scent. Bad moisturizing ability. Bad packaging. Will not repurchase.

More reviews by MakeupManiac5699
I'm an EOS lipbalm addict, (my favorite flavor is Sweet Mint) but there are cons and pros to every purchase. Pros- Adorable Packaging and colors, Beautiful smell, Nice flavors, no chemicals, reasonable price. Cons- Not very long-lasting or deep moisturizing. The packaging isn't very portable. The pros outweigh the cons, so I will repurchase. A fairly good lipbalm for the price. :)

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
I recently encountered an interesting message after having a set of dirt clods appraised at the Southern Island Hideaway space. The appraiser stated that I had collected all the fossils from one of the three dig sites available. I was presented with a list of the sites and it appeared that the public dig site was highlighted. Does this mean I will no longer have access to that dig site? I apologize if this question has been addressed elsewhere. Any commentary or insight is both appreciated and welcome.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thank you for your prompt reply. Kudos for your post.
Your guide was bookmarked some time ago. I found it extremely useful and would recommend it to anyone embarking on this grand fossil hunting adventure. Unfortunately I do not know how to post links or I would do that. To any moderator who may be reading this thread, please merge it with Mermaid-KT's guide thread(or delete this thread if this is not possible).

Your welcome
I did write a guide for fossil digging which you may find useful, but I'm on my iPhone so can't (or don't know how to) put a link here, but if you search Granzella Fossil Collection Guide hopefully you should find it, or maybe someone else could be kind enough to supply the link.
Good luck finding the rest of your fossils
How about here instead? <linky-link> Just in case anyone else is trying to find it. It's an excellent guide, although reading over it made me decide I didn't want fossils that badly.

Considering how long it takes to find things in storage these days, I now regret collecting most of those fossils (over 170 of them). This is particularly bad considering they are catagorized in the dreaded Ornament folder.
I bet I have close to a 1,000 items in that storage folder alone. *ugh*

Hi, the message means that you have found all the fossils from that site. You can still dig there to collect tropical points, but all the fossils you still need are in the other sites.
Having said that, it may still be worth collecting clods from the public site as the more clods you have the more chance you'll be given a 2-in-1 fossil, I just suggest you save them for the girl to appraise as she is more likely to find them than the guy.
Good luck, and hope this helps
From my experience, this only works if you have a lot of fossils left to find. Once you get down to five or so missing fossils, the two-for-one's stop appearing. I haven't had one of those since late 2012.

hey Mermaid, quick question since were talking about the fossil thing. I went to the store to find the better tools and even the lucky charm thing, and did not see them in the store. Is there any where else I can go to buy them, or am I just out of luck? I recently bought the hideaway home so I have access to the second digging spot, but Im interested in seeing if I can have better luck in getting better finds.
From the navigator>Shopping>Granzella>Furniture>Ancient should get you to the digging tools, charms, and display plates. I have found that on occasion, I will find items in Granzella's Navigator tab when I can not find them in stores located "in-space". I am not in HOME, so I am afraid I can not list prices. I hope this information may be of use to you.

The controversial mayor of Canada's largest city was found guilty of conflict of interest on Monday, and ordered removed from office.
A symbol of resilience, or tactless and ill-timed? New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to proceed with the world's largest marathon on Sunday is stirring up controversy in the storm-ravaged metropolis.
As emergency workers wade through flooded homes to look for survivors and millions of people remain without power in the Northeast, the death toll from superstorm Sandy has swelled to 95.
"If they take one first responder from Staten Island to cover this marathon, I will scream," New York City Councilman James Oddo said on his Twitter account. "We have people with no homes and no hope right now."
