Shoppers get early start on Thanksgiving
The Thanksgiving dinner tables weren't even cleared when big retailers opened their doors for holiday shopping. Some stores opened as early as 5 p.m.
Outside Toys R Us, the line of holiday shoppers wrapped around the building. Brianna Gurino was first in line and said she started waiting at 10 a.m. Gurino came to shop for her kids and doesn't mind that Black Friday has crept into Thanksgiving. In fact, she rescheduled her celebration. "I actually had Thanksgiving Saturday," Gurino said. "I cancelled it just so I could do my shopping and get it done and over with."
Last year, Toys R Us opened at 8 p.m. This year, sales started at 5 p.m.
When the doors opened at 8 p.m. at the Mall of New Hampshire, it looked just like any busy day, with the holiday-ready masses moving from store to store. Kohl's in Hooksett was crowded with bargain hunters going from rack to rack.
Shoppers out on Thanksgiving have mixed feelings about the earlier start times.
"I liked it at 8 p.m.," said shopper Maggie McGuire. "8 o'clock was a good start time because I didn't have to rush through the whole day."

Ellen Portia New Digs With $26M California EstateAlso: Digs, Elle DeGeneres, Ellen Portia New Digs, New, Portia De Rossi, Santa Barbara
Elle DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi bought a new $26.5 million, 6-bedroom, 7-bath mansion in California to add to their growing digs. The couple could be considered real estate royalty in Santa Barbara.
They are the happy owners of a 10,522-square-foot, 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom Montecito, Calif. vista that most can only dream of.
The luxury pad, which spans 13 acres of land, is decked out with nine fireplaces and a pool with an ocean view. But this isn't DeGeneres' only abode.
The 55-year-old daytime talk show host also owns homes in Beverly Hills and Hidden Valley as well as several other properties in the Los Angeles area.
A large property portfolio comes with a lot of responsibilities and DeGeneres recently had a scare on May 5 when her farm in the Camarillo area of California was threatened by a blaze.
"It was really scary. There were fires everywhere. This was our farm. I wasn't there," she said on her show at the time of the forest fires. "We had someone there taking care of it. We had to evacuate the horses and [it was as] scary as can be."
When it was deemed out of harm's way, she praised the fire-fighters who were quick to act.
"The firefighters are amazing," she added. "You women and men who do this are amazing … They were on our property. And we had 16 firefighters that spent the night there … Amazing."

Are any of you like I used to be? Always available to listen, motivate, brainstorm and basically provide your friends, family and colleagues with whatever they needed to play an outstanding game while you watched from the sidelines?
For example, perhaps your colleague, Margie, approaches you and asks for your advice regarding a new marketing position. Not only do you deliver key insights into the department, but you help her update her résumé and send links to interviewing skills. Yet, you stop yourself from applying for the same position even though it sounds intriguing and you possess the necessary skills.
So, what's stopping you? For me, it boiled down to my own fears of facing the truth. Filling up my time meeting everyone else's needs gave me the best excuse in the world why I couldn't go after my own goals and dreams. Putting my focus on everyone else's desires kept me safe, secure and out of the game.
So what changed? I did! After years of watching everyone take my advice, execute the perfect play and score, I was left with two distinct thoughts. One, it stinks being on the bench, and two, if they can do it, so can I. And so can you!
It's time to start listening to your own inner voice, not your inner critic. When you hear the critic show up and speak to your fears, stop, erase and replace. Stop the negative mind chatter, say "erase" to rip that disbelief off the subconscious tape and replace your chatter with a positive, self-affirming statement. You catch yourself saying, "I better not apply for the marketing position. It would require additional hours and I'm barely able to handle my life now." Stop! Erase! Replace: "I am capable of handling this position."
The next time someone asks for your great advice at the cost of your own accomplishments, say, "I wish I could support you on this, but I'm filled to the brim right now working on my own goals."
It's OK to find yourself sitting on the bench now and again, but only long enough to rest up for the next incredible, amazing opportunity coming your way.

Digital bathroom scales have a few great advantages over tradition "analog" models. Most of the benefits may not be immediately evident to the average consumer. Although there are literally limitless possibilities with digital technology, these four are the ones you should be paying attention to.
1) Accuracy: Digital bathroom scales offer the benefit of reading and displaying the user's weight in a far more acurate manner than traditional scales were ever capable of. Traditional bathroom scales calculated weight by using a series a springs and levers that would eventually wear out over time and loose accuracy. Since Digital bathroom scales don't use any moving parts this error is vertically eliminated.
2) Clearer Displays: The benefit of this speaks for its self. Digital bathroom scales are great for everyone, but especially useful for those with reduced vision and the older generations. Displays vary greatly and choosing the right one will ultimately depend on your taste. Just keep in mind that a bathroom scales is of no use if you can't even read the display!
3) Aesthetics: By eliminating the "guts" of traditional scales, Digital weight scales have nearly unlimited design possibilities. This allows for designs that appear to be made entirely of glass, or even ultra slim profiles that fit very well with a modern bathroom look. If you're tired of the dated boring "white rectangle" look, taking a look at some of the digital models might give you some ideas of what would look great in your bathroom.
4) Functionality: If you are shopping for something more than a scale that only shows your weight, you have to go digital! Some models offer functions such as: locking in your specific target weight, body fat analysis, displaying weights in different units and even storing the weights or other household users.
There are a few other things worth mentioning when shopping around for the perfect Digital weight scales. Since Digital bathroom scales require electricity, you need to think about where this power is coming from. Although almost all of the Digital weight scales on the market require batteries to operate, I reviewed one example that uses solar power to function. The remainder have built in functionalities such as manual or automatic shut off switches to conserve battery power when not in use. Regular Digital bathroom scales require very little energy to operate and will provide continuous operation for years. If you do plan on purchasing a model with more functions, this may not be the case, but don't let this issue become a drawback in selecting a scale that you want for your home. Remember that a bathroom scales should not only be something that tells you how much you weight, it should be a tool you can use to stay healthy, fit and provide added value to your bathroom. The switch to digital has improved our many other aspects of our lives, so why should the bathroom be any different?

Koran 311.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
Most people around the world know very little about the real Islam and the real
Muslims.What is presented to them under the name of Islam is a religion
of war full of fear, hatred, rage and blood. It is a religion of fear formed by
those who are in favor of war, societies of fear and suicide bombers. The
alarming part is that some Muslims also think that this is the case. They are
unaware that attacks, murders, suicides, instilling rage and fear instead of
love in people's minds is unlawful, for they are totally unaware of the content
of the Koran. What is underlying this problem? Lack of education, and
ignorance.It is easy to impose superstitions on a person who is unaware
of his own religion.In the mind of such a person, superstitions replace
the true religion, turning it into a form of bigotry. Bigotry is not a threat
for Islam only but a threat for all just religions. Those who do not practice
just religion in compliance with the Book and put forward the fake religion as a
just religion pose the greatest danger, for they appear in the name of God. And
the great pity is that they have followers.However, in the genuine
Islam, purified of bigotry, love is the greatest weapon. But so few people are
aware of it. The Islam depicted in the Koran commands to protect all just
religions. It commands to protect and watch over all prophets, all Just Books,
Christian and Jews. The Koran commands not to proclaim Jews as enemies but to
make friends with them and ally with those who say "God is One."If a
person acts in compliance with the Koran, he has to be a person of love. A
person following the Koran cannot murder.He cannot become a suicide
bomber. He cannot give aggressive messages full of hatred. A person who complies
with the Koran cannot feel rage for anyone. However, if what he considers to be
his guide is the superstitions of bigots, then he can readily commit these
outrageous acts; whereas this is impossible for those who are guided by the
Koran.Some of the disagreements that have been going on in the Holy Land
for long years stem from some Muslims' ignorance of the provisions of the Koran.
According to the Koran, Jews have the right to live in the Holy Land. The
related verses of the Koran are as follows: "We said to the tribe of Israel
after that, 'Inhabit the Land and, when the promise of the hereafter comes, We
will produce you as a motley crowd'" (Surat as-Isra, 104) "Remember when Moses
said to his people, 'My people! remember God's blessing to you when He appointed
Prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave you what He had not
given to anyone else in all the world! 'My people! enter the Holy Land which God
has ordained for you. Do not turn back in your tracks and so become transformed
into losers'" (Surat al-Maida, 20-21) If a person who claims that he is a Muslim
says, "We will wipe Israel off the map," or "We will drive the Jews from those
lands," this means that he does not speak in compliance with the Koran. This is
against the provision of the Koran commanding Muslims to live in peace with Jews
and be friends with them, and violates the commands of the Koran about the Holy
Land. This is precisely the peril of bigotry and ignorance that we have been
speaking of.Just as it is depicted in the Torah, according to the Koran,
too, Jews must surely remain in the Holy Land. Indeed, the existence of the Jews
in the Holy Land is beautiful; a cause of joy for genuine Muslims.But
God stipulates a condition for genuine believers both in the Koran and the
Torah: Peace.IN THE Holy Land Jews, Muslims and Christians have to exist
together, and peace and love must reign in that region.They will be
brothers. Those lands are sufficient for everyone. No one will be driven from
his homeland, forced to leave his home.People have always been pushed
into hardships while there is the easy way for doing it. They have declared
wars, committed mass killings, driven people from their lands. However peace and
love is the easiest way. In order to establish all these, factors hindering
peace and love must be established. The greatest obstacle is bigotry and
ignorance.What is the solution? The people of the region must be
educated by the people who know the essence of the Koran and the Torah. Muslims
must get rid of their outlook which has been formed under the influence of
bigots. Jews must not confuse bigotry with Islam. When they meet an aggressive
act, they must be aware that this does not stem from Islam but from bigotry.
They must embrace the Koran and the Torah in order to eradicate bigotry – which
is the greatest peril to both Islam and Judaism – in the ideological sense. If
they want conflicts and disorder to end, they must pioneer in explaining the
provisions of the Koran and helping people to grasp them.All this may
seem difficult, but actually it is not. This is what God wants from
us.There are afflictions in the world because people do not attach
importance to love and solidarity. However God is the One Who loves love. He
also loves who loves love. And those who love love always triumph.When
those lovers of God and lovers of love come together, the anti-Messiah loses its
power.Right now the anti-Messiah derives its power from the
disintegration of believers.That is why it stirs up conflicts and
oppositions.Thwarting the plot of the anti- Messiah and gathering
together will cause the greatest horror for those siding with the anti-Messiah.
As real Jews and real Muslims, what is incumbent upon us is to get together and
thwart this filthy ruse of the anti-Messiah.The writer graduated from

Chamillionaire - Some Things Never Change
Artist: Chamillionaire
Producer: Mike Saint
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 3 votes )
Fresh off earning positive reader reviews for September's thought-provoking Don't Shoot, Chamillionaire returns with another promo cut to tide fans over as they wait for news on his long-delayed junior set. On Some Things Never Change, the Houston veteran reminds us that, even in the fast-paced world we inhabit, there are certain constants—including Cham's commitment to his hustle, his love for his city and (on the negative side) the baleful influence of herbs and lames on hip-hop. The emcee's mordant commentary on the state of the game comes backed by Mike Saint's slow-rolling percussion, organ chords, and languid guitar licks. Change isn't attached to a larger set, but those feeling it can stay tuned for more high-quality loosies, as well as the latest on forthcoming LP Poison.

Simply because it'd be a much better user experience and consistency for buyers. Ever happened to receive a low rating or get a buyer upset just because he/she was asked to move to the dedicated support system? It happened to me more than once.
Since Envato wants to make this mandatory and take a (high) cut out of it, they need tools to be able to moderate this in the most efficient way, and this is going to be very difficult if every author is using a different support platform.Sure what you say is also true, we all know this would take a lot of time, a middle way solution might be for Envato to partner up with one of these web apps (or buy Ticksy which was for sale a few months ago) and customize it to their needs, imho.
Personally, i've never received a low rating due to a custom support system.
What kind of moderation do they need to do? The way i see it, they'll add support packages and new tools into their api to check wether the support package is valid or not. That is more than enough to integrate the new packages into the api of any support system.
If as moderation you mean something like that someone from Envato's staff will actually be there and help authors with unfair ratings and remove those ratings or check that buyers aren't abusing or doing anything against the "support guidelines", then i'm afraid we can all keep dreaming, this will never happen.
I have nothing against Envato taking a cut of whatever they want as long as they provide me something back, so for example, i'd be happy to pay a one time fee for apps/plugins that integrate with existing support tools like the ones i previously mentioned.
I still don't get why people wants Envato to create their own support system. Wether you like it or not, it has been obvious for the past years that any change that Envato tries to apply, is slow, and i'm not talking slow as in weeks, but as in months. Imagine how much time it would take for them to create a proper support system, not just a support forum.
There are plenty of dedicated web apps for customers support (helpscout, zendesk, etc…), all of them have their api, Envato, instead of creating their own support system, should just provide tools/apps/plugins/extensions for these existing tools instead of wasting resources and time on creating their own, which will most likely never be up to par with existing tools.
You better stick those guidelines in the face of every buyers when they purchase something here, because it's extremely ridiculous that i just got a 2 star rating because, quoting from the rating "the author doesn't provide customization nor for free or even paid", and this is clearly stated everywhere on my site. And you better take actions against these useless ratings.
For what is worth, this is my definition, but again, some buyers will ignore it anyways.

Thank you.

I have 5 invites left, but I will need to see your work, before draft you! :_)
Thanks for your answer, i've got some work here on ThemeForest where i mainly do WordPress themes http://themeforest.net/user/ThemesDepot/portfolio
Hey @creativeisG,
Was wondering if you have any invites left? I've been looking for one for quite some time :/
Why even bother checking the code manually? I've setup SSO on my WordPress site through Zendesk, customers need to register to my wp site where their purchase code is stored and saved and automatically re-checked every 15 days. When they want support they need to be logged into zendesk, through SSO i make the check wether they have a purchase code or not, if not, they don't login to zendesk.
Every time a multipurpose theme(s) with 50 demos(themes) and 10 bundled plugins is approved, a kitten dies.
I think i read somewhere you are allowed to giveaway your theme by purchasing a license, otherwise, why when i type "name of the second weekly best selling WP theme here giveway" on google, there are/were dozens of site giving it away?
Dream-Theme said
Well, that's a buyers personal opinion (which I do not share). But you're lucky: that might have been 1 star instead of 4
Indeed it could have been, but do people really think in a 58$ more or less – theme, to find a decent translation in any language?
I could add french translation, but every word would be simply replaced with "oui" and "baguette"

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes an important public health disease in many developing countries and is also endemic in some industrialized countries. In addition to humans, strains of HEV have been genetically identified from pig, chicken, rat, mongoose, deer, rabbit and fish. While the genotypes 1 and 2 HEV are restricted to humans, the genotypes 3 and 4 HEV are zoonotic and infect humans and other animal species. As a part of our ongoing efforts to search for potential animal reservoirs for HEV, we tested goats from Virginia for evidence of HEV infection and showed that 16% (13/80) of goat sera from Virginia herds were positive for IgG anti-HEV. Importantly, we demonstrated that neutralizing antibodies to HEV were present in selected IgG anti-HEV positive goat sera. Subsequently, in an attempt to genetically identify the HEV-related agent from goats, we conducted a prospective study in a closed goat herd with known anti-HEV seropositivity and monitored a total of 11 kids from the time of birth until 14 weeks of age for evidence of HEV infection. Seroconversion to IgG anti-HEV was detected in seven of the 11 kids, although repeated attempts to detect HEV RNA by a broad-spectrum nested RT-PCR from the faecal and serum samples of the goats that had seroconverted were unsuccessful. In addition, we also attempted to experimentally infect laboratory goats with three well-characterized mammalian strains of HEV but with no success. The results indicate that a HEV-related agent is circulating and maintained in the goat population in Virginia and that the goat HEV is likely genetically very divergent from the known HEV strains.

Spain doctors end strike over hospital privatisation
MADRID (Reuters) - Doctors in Spain's Madrid region called off a strike on Friday after failing to halt plans to privatise six hospitals and dozens of clinics.
The Madrid regional government aims to save 200 million euros (164 million pounds) by putting the hospitals and clinics under private management. The region's elected assembly approved the plan on Thursday.
Spain has implemented tough austerity measures this year to help it reach a European Union-agreed budget deficit target and stave off a bailout. The country's 17 autonomous regions control their own spending on healthcare and education.
The strike lasted for five weeks, during which doctors only saw patients on Fridays. Rallies organised by healthcare unions in the capital drew thousands of doctors and their supporters.
Emergency services were not affected.
"We went on strike because we want to stop the new ... plan and that has not changed," said Belen Padilla from one union, the Association of Madrid Doctors and Specialists.

BP Spins Success From Reports About Its Failure
When my colleagues released NRDC's annual Testing the Waters report documenting pollution problems across the nation's coastlines, the last thing they expected was this jaw-dropping Orwellian tweet to pop up on their computer screens:
@BP_America Official BP.@NRDC Annual #Beach Water Report released today includes info on improved conditions since #BP #oilspill http://pub.vitrue.com/Xjw
Yes that's right. BP tweeted NRDC's report and said it shows improvements in Gulf coastal areas after being tainted with globs of 170 million gallons of crude spewed from BP's well last year.
Problem is, that's not what NRDC's report stated. Here's what it really said:
More than a year later, the impacts of the BP oil disaster – the worst in U.S. history – still linger in the Gulf of Mexico. Over the course of two months, approximately 170 million gallons of oil gushed into Gulf waters, washing up on approximately 1,000 miles of shoreline. As of the end of January, 83 miles of shoreline remained heavily or moderately oiled, while tar balls and weathered oil continue to wash ashore.
As a result, many beaches in the region have issued oil spill advisories, closures, and notices since the disaster began more than a year ago. As of June 15, 2011, there had been a total of 9,474 days of oil-related closings, advisories and notices at Gulf coast beaches. Clean-up crews are still at work as oil continues to wash ashore in Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi. And four beaches in Louisiana are still closed and three in Florida have remained under notice since the disaster started. A state-by-state look at oil spill notices, advisories, and closures at Gulf Coast beaches from the beginning of the spill through June 15, 2011 can be found online here: http://www.nrdc.org/water/oceans/ttw/gulf.pdf.
Here's how the CBS News Early Show reported on NRDC's report:
"One hundred and seventy million gallons of oil flowed into the Gulf as a result of the BP oil spill," Jarvis said on 'The Early Show.' "It affected 1,000 plus miles of shoreline, and in particular, it really hit Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida -- those were the worst impacted but Louisiana was number one."
Louisiana alone, Jarvis said, estimates losses could exceed $295 million by 2013, according to the state's Department of Tourism.
"That is a huge number," Jarvis remarked. "Alabama has seen its beach traffic go down 41 percent. Mississippi has seen traffic go down, and in particular Mississippi, for example, they rely on revenue from the gambling industry, and they've lost more than $100 million, they expect from all of this."
Perhaps it should come as no surprise that BP would try to put such an absurdly positive spin on the beach report. After all, this is the same company that made some of the more memorable corporate PR blunders in history. At the forefront are former CEO Tony Hayward's mind-boggling comments about environmental impacts being "very very modest" and his ponderings about getting "my life back." See NRDC's excellent slideshow presentation Your's Truly, BP.

But BP's beach tweet is at odds with what some local residents say they see almost daily. The beaches near Grand Isle Louisiana are still impacted by tar balls and globs of oil that are buried on the bottom offshore. It's unclear when the beach ever will get back to normal, as I discovered last spring.
Along the coastline of Mississippi, residents walking the beaches near Gulfport still spot dead dolphins and sea turtles washing up on the beach, something they say was highly unusual before the BP oil well blow out.
Gulfport resident Laurel Lockamy has photographed lots of dead sea life strewn across the beaches in recent months. Recently she discovered a foul smelling patch of ocean water linked to wastewater discharge near Gulfport beach. She also found out the Mississippi DEQ still has an oil impact statement on its website that advises people not swim in the area 24 hours after a significant rainfall event, something Laurel and many others were unaware of. Locals say there are no signs posted directly on beaches where swimmers would be informed about those health threats.
Foul smelling ocean water in Gulfport Photo: Laurel Lockamy
Swimmers aren't the only ones still at risk. Gulf fishermen say the taint of BP's blowout continues to impact everything they do. They report shrimp catches in some areas are as bad as they've ever seen, while seafood market prices have hit rock bottom. No one wants to buy their seafood after the disaster last year, they complain. Many fishermen also say they have not been compensated by BP for their losses, despite promises made by BP claims administrator Kenneth Feinburg.
Recently, fishermen rallied at the Louisiana's capitol steps to protest the low market prices and lack of compensation by BP. On top of these complaints, shrimpers also are blamed by some environmentalists and NOAA fisheries experts as the main cause of record sea turtle deaths over the past year. That's something shrimpers vehemently deny and say the turtle deaths instead are related to the BP oil disaster.
Many fishermen have no idea how they will make it through the year if conditions stay the same. It can cost them more in gas and expenses than what they make for their catch. "They just like to kick us when we're down," said one Louisiana fisherman. "That's something we're used to. We don't have any choice but to just keep trying to make a living like we've always done."
But it will be years until they really know if their fishery has survived the gusher of oil unleashed by BP and its drilling partners. The beaches may appear clean to some, but what's going on underneath the water is a different story. Scientists continue to investigate the true damage caused by this disaster, a process that won't end soon. Meanwhile, drilling in the Gulf continues to expand while experts warn Congress has yet to pass oil drilling safety legislation recommended by the presidential oil spill commission earlier this year.
But opposition to new legislation by oil companies and their political allies is powerful. Well-funded oil industry PR campaigns will continue to try to deflect attention away from negative realities on the ground and at sea. As the tweet about NRDC's beach report shows, BP will continue to claim success in the Gulf cleanup, even when new reports demonstrate its failures.

Novel reform worth trying
A novel way to reorganize Parliament, Letter Sept. 2

Re: A novel way to reorganize Parliament, Letter Sept. 2
I'm sure many others saw the obvious logic in Ken Caudle's suggestion of there being little sense (but substantial expense) in electing 308 or 338 MPs that serve their party and not their constituents.
However, contrary to Mr. Caudle's suggestion of simply awarding each party leader a number of votes based upon the number of ridings won by each, would it not be more "democratic" to divide the votes up in relation to the national percentage of votes achieved by each party?
This would in actual fact yield to Canadians a higher level of political representation than we currently have while giving a voice in government to everyone who bothers to vote (something we do not currently have).
As it is, we have a majority government elected by 24 per cent of eligible voters — a government that says it wants to improve our representation in Parliament. So why don't they?
Randy Gostlin, Oshawa
It's hard to disagree with your contributor from Brampton. My local Oshawa federal MP does not take direct phone calls and will prohibit email if he disagrees with your position on a topic. He is frequently unavailable for any sort of contact.
He is however always available for barbeques and photo ops. My tax money supports a riding office that in reality is a make-work project. All the while GM in the riding is shipping work to Mexico and Korea.
He serves no tangible purpose so I am all for the proposed reorganization. Go for it.
Jim Fegan, Oshawa

Nashville's Hornqvist "out indefinitely" with lower body injury
Jan 27, 2013, 9:50 AM EST
The Nashville Predators aren't known as being a big scoring team and those matters may only get worse.
During last night's shootout loss to Anaheim, the Preds lost big scoring winger Patric Hornqvist to injury. Following the game, coach Barry Trotz said he would be "out indefinitely" with a lower body injury. Joshua Cooper of The Tennessean has the story.
"He's a big part of what we do," Trotz said. "He's a great guy who brings a lot of energy. He's as hard as they come. He's one of the best net-front guys here in the league, if not the best."
With Tomas Holmstrom retired, Hornqvist is most likely the best guy in and around the net. He's led the Predators in goals two of the last three seasons and is a regular threat for 30 goals in a normal season.
Through five games this season, the Predators have just 10 goals and if they're to be without Hornqvist for an extended period that hurts. Guys like Martin Erat, Mike Fisher, and Sergei Kostitsyn will need to pick up their games to make up for it.

US nonprofit hospital CEO annual pay averages $600K
Heads of U.S. nonprofit hospitals earn an average of almost $600,000 a year, compensation that isn't tied to quality measures such as mortality rates, a Harvard University study found. The chief executive officers paid the most oversee larger, urban hospitals that are usually teaching institutions and have a median salary of more than $1.66 million, according to research published today in JAMA Internal Medicine. The top executives paid the least – a median of $117,933 – are most often at small, non-teaching facilities in rural areas. The findings are among the first to detail how much nonprofit hospital CEOs are paid and the variations in salaries, said Ashish Jha, the study's senior author.
