Is Faldo that broke that he had to use some of the putters to pay for work completed on his grounds to the contractor? That part is fishy. Bottom line is that Henry had no obligation to return anything and did so as the "honorable" thing to do. Faldo was under no obligation to do anything for Henry, but should have done so because it was the "honorable" thing to do. So much for being a Knight these days.

Buyer Beware
Just like many of us here at this site, we enjoy trying to build our mini collections of golf equipment and trinkets that we deem necessary or desirable. Many times we spend ungodly amounts of money for golf stuff that never even touched the hands of anyone famous in the golf world. Other times, we get the special opportunity to obtain something tangible that once belonged to a John Daly, Tiger Woods, Bobby Jones or Nick Faldo.
Enter one Mr. Henry Campbell. Henry, like many golf fans, was lured in by some very collectible Nick Faldo golf memorabilia items that he discovered for sale on the internet. Sometimes, these types of deals just seem too good to be true. In this case, at least in the short term, they were true. As time unraveled , these expensive and highly collectible items, honestly purchased by Henry were fleeting and on their way back to their original and rightful owner.
Many of you, if you surf golf related or putter related websites with any regularity, may already know of Henry's sad story. It's a costly one for sure. So, before you drop your last two weeks paycheck on that sweet Scotty Cameron prototype putter that some tour player had owned for a time or even gamed on tour, buyer beware.
Most of us are just average golf joes, just searching for that little bit of golf history or a certain golf collectible that catches our eye and at the same time trying to hide that same expensive purchase from the wife. Heck, even tour pros covet some of these types of golf items. Take Davis Love III for example in a story published on PGAtour.com. Davis even admits he would like to own Tiger Woods' putter. In fact, who wouldn't like to? A man of his means freely admits, he can't fathom dropping that kind of coin for that flatstick. Davis said, "I've paid over $1,000 for putters," Love said. "I'm caught up with it, too. I'm buying Brad Faxon's and Ben Curtis' and David Duval's. I can't afford Tiger's. Too expensive. They'll go 8, 10, 12,000 bucks. They had one set they were trying to get $29,000 for the set of four of them or something." So, just like us, Davis spends his evenings drooling over Cameron putters that he views on eBay, of all places. "Type in Scotty Cameron on eBay," Love said. "You'll be shocked. Shocked. There'll be sometimes over 1,000 items." However, Davis gets a lot of really sweet putter swag just for gaming a Scotty. In fact, I would bet the farm he could get Scotty to make him anything he wants with a simple call on the cell phone. Heck, he might even have Scotty's number in his phone. The rest of us? We have to bust out the cash via different channels, and none as direct as Davis Love III has.
Which leads me back to Henry's plight. Henry purchased a lot of Nick Faldo's personal stash of golf equipment, as well as some of Nick's personal golf memorabilia.
Read on as I interviewed Henry about this whole debacle. You see, all of this stuff, which was legitimately purchased, was purportedly stolen from Nick Faldo, thus tossing a huge monkey wrench into Henry's prized and very expensive golf collection. I spoke with Henry via e-mail and he answered some questions about having to give up a collection that he paid over $20,000 dollars for. The next time you go to purchase something collectible and expensive, think twice about creating a webpage and sharing it all with the world. Honest buyers might just be better off keeping these said purchases to themselves and the basement carpet.
How did you get into collecting golf equipment and such?
I have played golf for 20 years and always liked putters in particular. After I got my first Cameron about 5 years ago, I soon discovered there was a big collector's scene, so I started to follow some of the websites. I then got my first limited edition, then a second and it all exploded from there. After a year or so, I decided I was most interested in real tour putters, so I started to focus on those.
Where did you make the majority of your purchases?
To begin, on eBay, but later more through direct contact with collectors via various websites. The Nick Faldo putters started on eBay too. By chance, I played at a corporate golf event the Monday following the 2006 WGC event in the UK at the course it was played. Nick Faldo was the host and played a hole with each group. He had an old Del Mar 3.5 in his bag, which I liked the look of. About 3 weeks later a black DM 3.5 appeared on ebay and the seller said it was Faldo's. I contacted the seller and asked if he would send it for authentication to Scotty if I won it. I won it, he sent it and Scotty authenticated it as Faldo's. The seller then contacted me and told me he had some more stuff, and over the next number of months I bought a bunch more putters as well as some memorabilia.
Name several of the items that you really liked in your collection?
I liked the signed Open 2000 menu (see pic on email), and the following putters:
But a bunch of them, say 8 or 9 were really nice pieces and worthy of a place in any collection.
How did you come to find out you had unknowingly purchased Nick Faldo's personal items?
I was in the United States on business and got a call on my cell phone from Nick Faldo's manager. He told me the putters had been stolen, along with other stuff from Faldo's home in Florida.
How were they stolen from him?
There is a dispute about whether they were actually stolen. The best information I have is that the putters were given to a contractor as partial payment for work done on the property. A former Nick Faldo employee handled this arrangement. Nick Faldo later disputed that he had agreed to this.
The story may not be as simple as I was first informed. I now know that these putters were in his garage and were all tarnished and some were corroded, and needed repair or even restoration. I now doubt these were really part of his "special collections" which were mostly in his A/C den. Some of the special collection were also stolen, but I never saw any of those.
Did his manager or agent stumble across your website?
No idea. Nor how they got my phone number, but I suspect it was from Scotty Cameron, because I sent all the putters to Cameron for authentication and he must have noticed the large number of Faldo putters coming through.
What were your options when you found out the stuff was "hot"?
I live in the United Kingdom, and the alleged theft occurred in the US. The most obvious option was to do nothing and wait for the legal process to complete. Given the international nature of the events, I would imagine there may be some complicated processes involved in retrieving them if I had been unwilling to give them up voluntarily.
Was there any additional contact with the individual that sold you the stolen items?
Yes. I contacted him and he told me how he had obtained them, which he believed was in good faith.
What did Nick Faldo decide to allow you to keep?
I returned about 15 putters to Nick, the Open menu and a couple of money clips and divot tools. Faldo eventually (about 9 months later) returned 3 putters, none of which were among my favorites. I contacted the manager to say I was disappointed, and he told me they would send some other collectible stuff to me. Nothing arrived, even after a reminder.
Are you still a golf collector, or have you decided not to engage in these types of items?
I am so sickened by the whole event I have decided to give up collecting and I am part way through selling my collection.
Were the authorities involved, or too busy to investigate such a crime?
I provided a lot of information to the Winter Park Police Department, and agreed to give an affadavit, but I have not been asked to do so. I believe the contractor is facing charges of grand larceny and is due in court this month.
How quickly were you expected to return the items to Nick Faldo?
I was not expected to return them – I did so voluntarily as an upstanding and honest citizen. I have been rather disappointed with Faldo's manager and lawyer's support. They have been more concerned with ensuring that Faldo is not portrayed as a bad guy than anything else. I asked them whether the items stolen were insured, but received no answer.
Approximately how much money did you lose in this endeavor?
A bit over $20,000 cost, but very probably $30,000+ in resale value.
I can't help but think that Henry got the shaft here. I sent an e-mail to Nick Faldo's representative and quite honestly, I did not expect a return reply. Much to my chagrin, he did reply, but he didn't really offer any information or even answer the questions that I asked. This was the extent of the Faldo press office's reply, "In response to your email, Nick had a number of items of memorabilia stolen – not only putters, the list also included highly prized personal effects spanning his 30 year golf career. All of the stolen goods were sentimentally valuable to Nick and irreplaceable. The matter was referred to the police and a conviction has now been secured. As far as Nick is concerned, the matter has now been laid to rest." Me? I was hoping that Nick Faldo's press office would be willing to give me some more specific details on the theft, the accused (who was later convicted), but I guess they chose not to share this information with me.
Since Nick Faldo got all of his stuff back, and because one Henry Campbell was completely above board and honest, it is laid to rest on Nick's end. On Henry's end he is over $20K poorer and with very, very little to show for it. Understandably, Henry is quite soured by the whole circumstance and even more soured that according to Henry Campbell , Nick Faldo did not uphold his end of the bargain to allow him to keep more stuff, or even provide him with some sort of monetary compensation. Or better yet, with all of Nick's golf connections, hook up Henry with some cool tour putters, that probably wouldn't cost Nick a dime to obtain. Henry went way beyond what most people would even do; especially after spending over $20K on what he thought were honest golf purchases for his collection.
Henry is an honest man and he says, "the main point I would make is that I gave these back 100% voluntarily, based on it's the right thing to do." Nick Faldo's manager then promised me that Nick Faldo would show his gratitude. Not sure that I have seen it yet.
This sounds like an extremely tangled web, and it is not my intention as the author of this story to paint a poor picture of Mr. Faldo. I would just like this story to air so that the rest of us "average joes" with some money burning a hole in our pocket don't waste our last hard earned dollar buying a stolen, used on tour, collectible putter. I personally own several Scotty putters myself, my prized one being the Inspired by David Duval putter which I will never part with. Hopefully David Duval doesn't contact me wanting it back. Seriusly though, the whole Scotty Cameron collecting scene, no matter how cool it is to many people, has a darker side to it as well. Unfortunately, this story is just one of those dark sides, stolen tour used Cameron stuff (as well as other golf memorabilia), sold to an unsuspecting buyer/collector as a legitimate sale.
It's too bad that Henry now feels that these items may have been given to the contractor in good faith, although others he saw were not, but all of them got swept up in the same process. "Suffice it to say, I think my Camerons had probably been given in good faith by Faldo's former employee and I have lost them because of disputes between that individual and Nick Faldo. I really regret giving them back at all.
So the next time you see a highly collectible putter or a collectible golf related item on eBay, remain skeptical, do some additional research, and buyer beware before you plop down that hard earned $2500 (or more) on that item. You just might be paying for something you shouldn't be buying the first place. Like Henry, you'll be the one regretting giving it all back.

This all makes me sick to my stomach. This has been said above, but I'll reiterate it. Faldo could have used his contacts to have Cameron, Grace, Bettinardi, Mills, anyone for that matter, make Henry any putter he wanted. He could have asked Cameron, who apparently was aware of the situation, and in my opinion had no business interfering, make Henry five handmades. Guys like us, me, Henry, some of you, save our money and wait for the opportunity to buy a tour or high end putter, which by the way are far superior to anything of the rack. Pros have unlimited access to as many Cameron Circle T's as they want, and for free. Faldo is a prick, and a dishonest prick at that it sounds like. Henry, I have to say I would have never returned his stuff, but you did what you felt was right, assuming a legend would return the favor. Unfortunately being a great golfer doesn't make you a great person.
Henry probably gave the putters back because he was afraid that if he didn't, he'd one day find himself innocently sitting in a Las Vegas hotal room when suddenly O.J. Simpson and Nick Faldo are busting down the door, guns drawn, to "retrieve" Nick's stolen memoribilia.
On the serious: Henry might want to get in touch with the prosecuting authorities about getting restitution from the guy being prosecuted for the theft of the memoribilia. Also, if Faldo received insurance proceeds for the "theft" of this stuff, the insurance company might be the rightful owner of it, particularly if a bill of sale was executed in exchange for the payment of the proceeds.
I'm not sure how it translates into international law, but I am pretty sure that if Henry had no idea they were stolen and purchased them legitimately, then he has no obligation to give them back. Seems like Faldo (or his manager) gave some non-specific promise to persuade Henry to return the goods and then basically said "F-you" once they got them back. Great example for children everywhere! If you are honest, you DON"T get rewarded. Well, done Henry, you are a truly honest man. I don't know Faldo, nor the whole story, but this really makes him look like a a**hole!
If I remember correctly, at least in some states Henry is not obligated to return the putters because he is a bona fide purchaser. Faldo has to go after the contractor or whoever stole them. Likewise tho, Faldo does not have to compensate Henry if Henry choose to return those putters. I agree with Jason that the thought of paying for your stolen putters may just sicken Faldo's mind. I don't expect Faldo to show too much appreciation, although I would be impressed if he did.
Now Davis Love III is a rich guy. If he's unwilling to pay 10k for a putter, think twice before you do.
I would have told them to stick it up their you know what and told them to come get the putters…or he should have started talking in a foreign language when they first contacted him and hung the phone up. That is shitty I am sorry to hear this from a person who coul get any cameron he wanted get henry a special tour cameron made for him hell a couple after all he did give back your PRiZED pieces. Henry got hosed!!!
I would have demanded proper documentation…police reports, pics, item descripitions, etc., before simply "giving" up on a 20k investment. I strongly make the point it is NOT an investment to buy equipment designated as "tour" authentic. It would and is so easy to rip off a willing participant right down to the signed letter of authenticity by Scotty himself. Gimme a break…they would have handed me the check for what I spent before any of those clubs left my eyesight. All you guys knocking Faldo, don't hate the player hate the game. The guy could flat out play in his prime. I'm with DL3 all the way. Those so called Tiger models are NEVER worth the dime some fool is willing to pay.
I think it's a bit funny there are posters here claiming $20k is something Faldo can afford. Are you his accountant? Do his tax returns? Jason O is dead on, Faldo shouldn't be responsible for paying someone for stuff that was stolen from him. Fact is the business law says stolen items bought in good faith are the property of the buyer, so while it was honorable for Henry to return them, he has no legal grounds to ask for compensation nor expect it.
I just think it's ridiculous most of you think $20,000 means less to Faldo than it does to you. But then again, that's a common attitude in the States today, that somehow those with money value it less than those without it, therefore they should be willing to give it up. That's downright stupid on so many levels…
The least Faldo could do is contact Henry personally and at least give thanks to him. If insurance paid Faldo, then yes Faldo should pay Henry. Why would Faldo be entitled to basically 2 payments (the putters & the insurance check). Faldo could probably have Cameron make him replacement putters. If he could do that, maybe send Henry either the original or the new putters. I think a lot of things could have done to "fix" this that would have been better for Henry. Afterall, Henry can't call Cameron and have another of these putters made…but Faldo can.
Faldo is an idot. I wish Henry had kept the putters. Faldo doesnt deserve a dime of the stuff back.
Whilst Nick is under no legal obligation to compensate Henry for anything if his putters were genuinely stolen, Henry's painting of events leads one to believe that not everything was from the robbery and it would appear that Nick or his management team have been forthcoming with Henry. Henry has done the decent thing and offered them voluntarily. Unfortunately if he had kept them and allowed the legal process to run its course Nick would have had to be legally obliged to explain which were given away and which were indeed stolen and Henry might not be in the position he is in now. Perhaps if anyone from Team Faldo reads Golf WRX they should make amends and offer up something that money alone can't buy.
I bet if you were the one to lose 20K on the deal you might just be singing a different tune. Irregardless, you have to give props to Henry doing the right thing. Hopefully Nick gets word of this and will pass on a bit more gratitude for his good deed.
I think the point is, that Faldo got off easy because Henry was so cooporative. It would have been a nice gesture for Faldo to show some appreciation here.
Personally, I would have told Faldo to go pound sand, and let the legal system take it's course. If I were forced to return them, then so be it. Of course personally, I would never spend 20 large on a few putters, but I do think Henry got the shaft here.
$20,000 is a ripple in the pond for Faldo, he should have certainly made it up to Campbell, atleast in a monetary way if nothing else
I agree with Jason O.
I feel bad for Henry and I wish he had slept on his decision to return the items for a little while longer. Perhaps he would have received advice to simply keep his collection and let the "powers that be" try to come and get it.
But, as Jason points out it's a little much to expect the Faldo camp to feel sorry for him.
Maybe next time Faldo should be a little smarter with who he lets in his house. I dont just let anyone in my house and guess what? My putters just dont mysteriously walk off. Sounds like Faldo needs to get a brain. Henry did a glorious thing that is rarely found in society today and then the millionair golfer stiffs him. If Faldo doesnt want to pay Henry like the above poster states, how about taking Henry out for 2 or 3 rounds of golf? This way Faldo gets to keep his precious money(except for the rounds of golf) and putters. Sounda like a fair resolution for all. Gold Bless you Henry 99.9% of the world wouldnt have given anything back. It's refreshing to hear of your good heart.
This is just wrong…Henry didn't have to do a thing..he could have kept the whole lot and been in the right…he paid for them. But he did'nt, Henry did what most people don't (the right thing) and that is what Faldo should have done (the right thing) but he didn't. He should have tried to make Henry whole by using his name for Henry and he didn't. A few phone calls and Faldo could have gotten Henry whatever he wanted. Faldo is as bad as the guy who ripped him off!
Whatever, Nick Faldo is a tool. If these were truely his prize possessions then he shoud have indeed rewarded Henry for the return of his stuff. Not many like Henry in the world, and Faldo says some of it is irreplacesable. Well that should mean that money should be no object, and we all know that Faldo had plenty of that. Like I said, just another rich snobby tool.
It sure does sound like you're trying to paint a poor picture of Faldo. Henry DID get the shaft, but Faldo should not be responsible for making him whole again. Come on….Pay me for your stolen putters that I bought!! Just ridiculous.

University of South Alabama Fall 2012 DNP - page 2
For all those starting the DNP program in the fall. We have created a facebook page. Look for "University of South Alabama DNP Fall 2012" group on Facebook. This thread will also be a great place for general discussion as we all... Read More
0Aug 15, '12 by SThomas30Quote from CassBI was just wondering if the USA DNP program is completely online? Also, I haven't seen on the admissions section for USA that references are needed, do they require any references for admission? Thanks in advance for any information!!! Also good luck to everyone starting this Fall!!My overall GPA was 3.7. USA only looks at your cumulative GPA. My essay was only one page long. I believe there was a word limit on it. I honestly did not spend much time on the essay. I stated my reason for wanting to continue my education and that was that. When I applied, I had two years of psychiatric nursing experience in both an inpatient and outpatient setting under my belt. Everyone is nervous when applying, so telling you not to be is pointless lol. Just know that you have as good a chance as anyone else. If your GPA isn't as strong, maybe your work experience is. Or maybe your essay will be better than most. Good luck!
0Aug 15, '12 by CassBYes, it is completely online except for clinical hours. Those are done in the area you live. I believe there is one time when students need to travel to campus for about three days during the second year for clinical orientation. USA does not require references or GRE. Good luck if you decide to apply!
0Aug 17, '12 by azorSo happy to have found this thread. I have a question about USA. Such a pity that i missed the deadine for the spring semester which was Aug 1. My question is this, How possible is it for one to get admission with USA for BSN to DNp track? I have 3.4 GPA with my ADN, then 3.91 with my BSN. I am really nervous about the GRE and at the same time, I really would like to get my Doctorate degree straight like USA offers. I need help y'ol...Thanks
0Aug 20, '12 by michellet1597I applied for the Spring program as well. Any feedback on how the process went from application to acceptance? I'm sweating bullets! USA was my first choice. My GPA is comparable to the others I see posted and my essay was just over a page. How long to hear from them initially? Thanks for the feedback!
0Aug 31, '12 by nicoleinHi all
I'm actually making up my mind to apply to the post masters tract for fall 2013. Just looking over the requirements right now. I'm still working on finishing up my MSN this fall locally as an Adult Health Clinical Nurse Specialist!! Can't even remember my undergrad GPA but my current overall for MSN is at least 3.6. Hope that's good enough to help get me in.

Ok, first let me say that I despise Apple. I feel as if I have been invaded by the Borg. So my first statement has to do with the iPad mini only.
Seriously? Setting up the iPad took me around 30 minutes before I could even look at getting the X32 Mix application. Impossible password requirements, tons of questions .... etc.
Ok, enough bitching about Apple. What is done is done. Behringer, I wait patiently for an Android replacement
On to the app.
I thought the app was nicely laid out. It took me a little while to understand the navigation, but since I was already well familiar with what the X32 can do and the X32 Edit program, it wasn't long before I could move around with confidence.
My overall impression is that this app is designed more for use under fire than it is for setup. I would much prefer to setup my X32 Rack (when they arrive) with a PC through X32 Edit than through X32 Mix; however, I believe that X32 Mix is better suited for running a show than X32 Edit is. This is especially true for a touch pad where the controls on X32 Mix have been intentionally designed to have large forgiving hit and swipe points for touch pad use.
The channel strip for me was the really great surprise. It looks like everything I need to get to quickly is right there. The mute, solo for all channels is right on the main screen, and the channel strip has well thought out controls for everything else.
I particularly liked the "sends on fader" button which allows you to switch your 8 visible faders from the main, to the sends from your currently selected channel. Nice.
Now for the not-so-good.
The labels are muted and not high contrast. I am sure it makes for a nice looking application, but you just can't read the labels as well. It is possible that this can be changed, but I haven't figured it out just yet. Also, the text could be made a bit larger. This is more important on the mini than on the full iPad .... and also more important for those of us who have less than perfect eyesight these days
I was worried that the mini wasn't going to be enough real estate to work the X32 Mix app well on, but it seems fine to me.
I have heard several people who have the Mackie DL1608 state that the iPad app for that is better laid out than the X32 Mix app is. I am going to download it and see for myself

Apple's 'Special Projects' Could Mean Big Business
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Apple (AAPL) doesn't do anything without a reason, so it was extremely interesting over the weekend that the company removed Bob Mansfield from its executive page. One question remains. Why?
Mansfield, who had been leading the Technologies team since Apple removed former head of iOS Scott Forstall from the company, is incredibly well respected inside and outside the company. In fact, Mansfield had tried to retire from Apple previously, but Apple CEO Tim Cook gave him a generous pay package to keep the engineering wizard at Apple.
Apple put out a statement on Mansfield being removed from the exec team, saying he will work on special projects, reporting directly to Cook.
Apple says Bob Mansfield is no longer on Apple's exec team but will remain at Apple working on special projects reporting to Cook. $AAPL— Poornima Gupta (@PoornimaGupta) July 29, 2013As head of the Technologies group, Mansfield led "all of Apple's wireless and semiconductor teams across the company," according to a cached version of Apple's Web site. It notes that Mansfield worked on some of Apple's "most challenging engineering projects," including the MacBook Air and the iMac line. With his departure from the exec team, Mansfield and special projects could mean Apple's next big product, presumably the iWatch. The timing on the iWatch is unclear. Some on Wall Street have pegged the device for later this year, others not until 2014. In a research report discussing last week's earnings, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty noted that the September quarter could provide the time frame. "Several signs suggest that new products will ship in the September quarter," Huberty wrote in her note, as she pointed out that Apple gave less transparency on gross margins, provided a wider-than-normal revenue range, and the continued talk about a busy fall. Huberty has previously noted the iWatch could be worth as much as $10 billion to $15 billion in annual revenue for Apple. On the most recent earnings call, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster asked whether any of the new product categories Apple is entering could move the needle for Apple, but Cook declined to answer it. Munster has thrown out revenue numbers for the as yet-to-be-announced device. If Mansfield being shifted to work exclusively on special projects, could mean that the iWatch team could be ramping up its efforts to get the product out before 2014. Other technology companies are reportedly entering the smartwatch and wearable device market. Nike (NKE) currently has its own watch, and Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT), Samsung and others are developing their own. In the past, Cook has said "

Official Review: Funky Lab Rat
Posted by EdEN in Featured, Funky Lab Rat, Media, PlayStation Move, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews on December 10th, 2010
Hydravision has released Funky Lad Rat exclusively on the PSN both in Europe and the US, a very special game in time for the Christmas rush. The story for the game is simple: a lab rat breaks a container thus having access to some miraculous pills which allows said rat to grow super smart while, at the same time, gaining power over time and space in a funky way… or at least that's what I got after watching the starting cut-scene. This is a physics-based puzzle game, and we all know that a good puzzle game does NOT need a storyline. And a good puzzle game this is.
Here's the trailer so you can better understand what I'll be talking about:
[Review] Dead Nation
Posted by Kane112 in Dead Nation, Featured, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews on December 10th, 2010
Dead Nation, brought to you by Housemarque, who also brought us Super Stardust HD, is a dual-analog zombie apocalypse game that puts you in control of either Jack McReady or Scarlett Blake. Both characters have been bitten and are immune to the zombie virus and are some of the last remaining alive. You go around using the analogs, obviously, and kill thousands, and I mean thousands, of zombies with a variety of different weapons and techniques. Or you can join up with a partner in either online mode or with another controller in Co-op mode to blow those zombies apart.
Official Review: SingStar Guitar
Posted by Oly in Featured, PS3, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, SingStar Guitar on December 7th, 2010
SingStar Guitar is currently only available in AUS and EU as a disc, or as a DLC from the PSN. As of SingStar update version 5.0, at least in EU and AUS, the availability of playing a guitar is there, even without purchasing SingStar Guitar. You will, however, need to purchase guitar compatible tracks, or guitar upgrades for songs already owned. With that in mind, SingStar Guitar is basically just a new SingStar title with the standard "30 new songs", that are all guitar compatible.

The Fight: Lights Out (Move) Review
Posted by Madagasca in Featured, PlayStation Eye, PlayStation Motion Games, PlayStation Move, PS3 Reviews / Vita Reviews, The Fight: Lights Out on November 29th, 2010
A week ago I got my grubby hands on The Fight: Lights Out (regards to Trev & Tosh for hooking me up with a promo copy). With me being heavily into sports and somewhat liking UFC etc, I wanted to get involved in the sport without physically getting battered and bruised – so, what better way to do this than play a game of The Fight: Lights Out.
I always seemed to think I was a pretty athletic/fit person due to the amount of sports I used to play, however I don't think I was prepared for what I was about to encounter.

House GOP seeks to abolish IRS, replace income tax with consumption taxSubmitted by Ian56 on Sun, 01/06/2013 - 17:35
Fifty-four House Republicans on Thursday reintroduced legislation that would terminate the IRS and replace the system of income taxes on people and corporations with a consumption tax.
The FairTax Act, from Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.), would abolish the 16th Amendment, which was ratified 100 years ago this February. That amendment gives Congress the power to impose income taxes without having to spend the revenues evenly among the states.
Woodall's bill, H.R. 25, would replace the current tax system with a 23 percent consumption tax on all new goods and services. He said Thursday that this change would eliminate the need for a complicated tax code, and would be the kind of tax reform that helps reinvigorate the economy.

neocons desperately trying to use old issues to draw us back
Into the fold.
Guns, taxes, gays, etc.
They know the fair tax has a following. ..so they pretend to push it. But please know, the income tax brings money to them first which is an age old financial rule. There is no way that they don't want the money coming to them first and that's what the income tax. The national sales tax is getting the money last (if at all) and they don't want that.
is the problem...
Changing the method of taxation will not cure THAT problem!
When Fascism goes to sleep, it checks under the bed for Ron Paul!
Why can't we just tax Leveraged Income Earned?
In short, that taxes the fed, the banks that use fractional reserve banking, profits from stock traders and every derivative out there. Basically, if you profited from the use of money that wasn't yours, you pay a tax.
These are the PROBLEMS in our society so let's discourage their activity.
We could start out with a measly 0.5% or something just to get people to go along with it. My numbers actually show it would only take .75-1% tax to alleviate all our budget problems in about 2 years flat!
Hell no! - that's a blank check to Congress. They don't have a
taxing problem, they have a spending problem.
We need to restrict that with a change in the tax code. Swapping the so-called "income tax" for the misnomer "fair tax" won't do the trick.
We need DIRECT APPORTIONED TAXATION.
It is the most unpopular form, and why it needs to be used exclusively. That way, since it would be so unpopular, Congress would have no votes to impose them unless absolutely necessary. It would put a major hamper on their ability to sell their constituents "someone else's money."
And heck, it's as "fair share" as you can get. (that one is for the communists among us)
While we do that, we can leave the 16th amendment in place (because there is technically nothing wrong with it) and instead, pass an amendment that "the Congress shall not have the power to tax Wages or Salaries, nor any gain or profit which does not arise from the privilege of doing business in a corporate capacity."
This amendment would settle the issue of the meaning of "income" in the 16th once and for all. Courts and the IRS could no longer duck the issue.
A question I have for people
A question I have for people who want to return to no income tax. This is also a question for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul constantly mentions that we didn't have an income tax prior to 1913, yet we still funded government. He wants us to return to those levels.
The problem is, is that excise and import taxes were a huge source of government revenue during that times. Using numbers from 1796, it would be just over 800 billion to as much as 1.2 trillion in revenue today. We collect about 1.6 trillion in taxes (income + ad-valorum + other; no payroll).
As economic theories started to advance, the US government started to eliminate excise and import taxes. This was decided not only because free trade is best for the economy (as Keynesian modeling had found), but they also came around to the idea that free trade encouraged peace and friendliness between nations. As a side, it was also a great way to foster pro-capitalist, pro-Western ideas in the second world.
Also, before the income taxes, the state governments had a much bigger role in terms of governmental influence. State + Local taxation today is about on par with federal taxation. Back in the days of the founders, state and local governments taxed at approximately 5 times the rate of the federal governments. State had many more duties to do. They had to mantain their own militias, their own regulatory agencies. Many of them dealt with their own roades, their own trade, etc. These processes, for better or worse, have become federalized. The founders spent what today would be equivalent of 100-300 billion on national defense...that number is unthinkably low.
So expectations have to be adjusted.
Plan for eliminating the national debt in 10-20 years:
Overview: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2010/09/12/my-plan-for-reducin...
Specific cuts; defense spending: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/more-detailed-look-a
You're suffering from the same disease Congress is - baseline
It's the absolute worst thinking method concerning finance ever invented.
You can't budget by starting from where you are now.
You MUST start from zero.
Take a look at the last published "budget" of the U.S. - for an illustration only - if you take only General Government, and the basic executive Departments, you are only looking at a few tens of billions. (in FRNs that is)
Of course, we wouldn't start from now, we'd start from zero and work our way up. So most likely, that figure wouldn't be anywhere near as high.
Then let's look at DEFENSE.
Navy? - check.
Army? - nope - State militias, kept regular, will suffice.
Marines? - put them under the Navy, scale back either appropriately.
Airforce? - scale back and place under the Navy again.
Again, starting from zero, you'll find most of what is spent by the Defense Department is NOT on DEFENSE, but rather on pork, or OFFENSE.
We can easily provide for the COMMON DEFENSE for under 100 billion FRNs, especially with a robust and regular militia system.
Now, look at the revenue side, (which should have been done first, but I did this for a reason) - look at Import and Export duties and taxes:
$135 billion (FRNs)
That's plenty enough to fund General Government, the basic executive departments (we'll have to abolish a few, especially the socialist ones) and a robust DEFENSE in the form of a Navy and well regulated militias.
It is absolutely doable.
I've had back burner plans to setup a website to outline this entire process.
Your comment just gives me more energy to get it to the front burner - thanks.
The point being that if you
The point being that if you moved the army to the states, they just have to take up the costs. They'll have to raise their own taxes to compensate.
Even Ron Paul has only deigned to cut military spending by 400 billion, leaving around 600 billion left. Much of our defense spending, by the ways, is not simply "offense". Even without any wars and any foreign bases, our military budget would be around 500-600 billion (which, surprise, surprise, is Ron Paul's number), which includes Clinton's much-hated cuts to the military. A lot of it is precautionary...we want to have a large standing army in case something happens. An ounce of prevention and all that. This number would also be very close to what other industrialized nations spend on defense relative to their GDP.
There are also debt payments (200 billion alone), transportation costs (100+ billion), veterans payments, paid unemployment, federal courts, law enforcement, federal prisons, waste management, economic regulation, national landmarks and parks, etc.
I look forward to seeing your analysis.

Specific cuts; defense spending: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/more-detailed-look-a
I'll be sure to post the site link here when it's up.
But even that 600 billion figure includes lots of fluff beyond actual defensive posture. And of course it presumes keeping the organization of the DoD as it is, which I don't.
Most of what you listed at the bottom falls under "general government" or "basic executive departments" which I've already included.
The only thing I left out was debt service.
I have a plan for that too. The bankers won't like it, but I don't care what they want or like. They are going to take what we give them and that's that. It's not like they really loaned us anything from their own possession anyway. They just created it out of thin air.
I do have a plan for paying individual bond and note holders though.
As for shifting defense costs to the States, that's where it should be with respect to militias. And then with that model, the out of pocket cost for the State governments won't be that much. Regardless, the money and organization should be as close to "home" as possible.
Certainly, even with present import/export taxes, we could come close to current debt service levels. We could then use direct apportioned taxes (much better in my opinion as a check against excessive spending) for the regular and normal functions of government.
Once the debt is either paid off or if we reset it, then import duties can be used to pay for defense, since technically, the purpose of the Navy is primarily to protect shipping lanes, with actual continental defense as a side benefit. Some or most of this outside of continental waters, could be turned over to private concerns.
The whole point though is that the vast majority of what is in the federal budget doesn't have to be there for us to have what most people would expect from government, not to mention, only what they are constitutionally allowed to do in the first place.
What is your question? I received your opinion, loud and clear...I will wait for your question to be asked I guess.
Bad food, worse weather, please rEVOLution the states so I can bring my family back home!
Rosa Koire for for President!
My question is that when Ron
My question is that when Ron Paul says he wants to abolish the income tax and return government taxation to pre-16th amendment levels, does he then want to increase excise and import taxes to make up the difference.

Specific cuts; defense spending: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/more-detailed-look-a
I can't speak for Dr. Paul...
But my answer would be to lower spending...Starting with military and prison expenditures...I would also start to revenue something from corporate America and others...
Bad food, worse weather, please rEVOLution the states so I can bring my family back home!
Rosa Koire for for President!
Military, sure. Yet Ron Paul
Military, sure. Yet Ron Paul has only proposed around 400 billion in military cuts, which are not nearly enough.
Prison expenditures at the federal level are very modest; I don't know for sure, but I would guess that the vast majority of prison spending is done at the state and local level.
This is why I say that our issue is a revenue problem as well as a spending problem. Government income pays for payroll expenditures, military spending, and our debt. Practically everything else is borrowed.

Specific cuts; defense spending: http://rolexian.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/more-detailed-look-a
I would only start with...
Prison and military...There are plenty of other places to cut spending...Government spending is way out of control on every level...I believe the states could get close to covering necessary costs with a 12%ish sales tax...And I know that I could possibly, if not probably, be dreaming but I do not buy into your idea that we could not solve our financial problems by cutting spending...Every facet of US government is corrupted and overspending...But I do respect your position...
Bad food, worse weather, please rEVOLution the states so I can bring my family back home!

Until the government needs
Until the government needs more money... Then 23% becomes.... 50%?
This is gonna kill my
This is gonna kill my elderly Mom. There's no way she can afford a 23% tax on her medication. Its going to add 600+ dollars to her monthly expenses.
Blessings )o(
That tax is exactly...
for people like your mom who pay no taxes...It allows an equal tax for all the people of the USA...Not just the already overly taxed tax payers, it is a tax for the people that aren't paying taxes...The real issue here is the monopoly excused pharmaceutical companies and their price gouging...

There should be a markdown for the poor
That way it would both be progressive (and fair to your Mom), and also eliminate all the 40,000 pages of garbage that we have to waste our time and money on every April.
There is, it's call the FairTax Prebate
For all spending under the poverty level (~$11,000 per year) an individual would pay no consumption tax. The prebate applies to everyone equally not just the poor.
Also, keep in mind used items are never taxed.
Except, the prebate wouldn't
Except, the prebate wouldn't help my Mom. We live in a tax free state already, so it will raise taxes on us. And, with the fair tax calculator her prebate is only going to be 207/mo, which won't cover the 600+/mo for her meds and then there will be a 23% tax on everything else too on top of that. She is going to be screwed if they do this. She currently pays no taxes at all because she is retired and can't work. So all of her income is tax free. All of these promises of paying no tax will not be applicable to her, or others like her here in NH. Bottom line, even after the prebate her cost of living will go up by that 600+/mo. because even food will be taxed now, where its not currently.
Blessings )o(
How did you come up with $600?
How did you come up with $600 as the amount she would be paying more?
Keep in mind, before the 23% tax is applied, prices would be lower than they are today (estimated at 16-19% lower), because embedded and cascading taxes (corporate taxes, payroll taxes, etc.) would be eliminated.
Retail on her meds is
Retail on her meds is $3100/mo. Multiply that by 23% and you're looking at 600+ in taxes. Currently, there's no consumer taxes on medications. Insurance will pay the cost of the meds, but they don't pay your taxes. So, even after her 207/mo prebate, she will still be on the hook for an extra 400/mo in taxes and that's only the meds. Add to that the taxes on her phone, electric, TV, food, clothing, etc, and she's going to be paying about 600 more every month. She doesn't have that kind of money. She'll skip buying meds instead. At that point I'll be making funeral arrangements and forking over 23% in taxes on her casket and funeral.
The only ones exempt from paying taxes on anything they purchase are the corporations. Basically, what this does is gives businesses no tax liability at all and it shoves those taxes at the consumer instead. Businesses are not going to lower prices because they don't pay taxes anymore. They will enjoy the windfall the Govt has allowed them with greater profit, especially the pharmaceutical companies.
Blessings )o(
Businesses don't pay taxes NOW. Consumers pay ALL taxes.
Any imposed tax is passed along in higher prices.
They will lower their prices because SOMEONE is going to do so in an attempt to compete, this will start a price war to the down side. It may take a year to cycle out, perhaps sooner. But prices will fall accordingly. All it takes is ONE company in each market to do this and the rest will follow. No one wants to get caught looking like a gouger taking the extra 23% for their pockets.
In all fairness to the fair tax hoaxers, you can't use the $3100
figure to base the sales tax on.
This is because a significant portion of that $3100 is passed along or "embedded" income and payroll taxes, which would be eliminated.
The end result according to the math, is that it will still only cost $3100 for the meds - AFTER the sales tax is applied.
There will be no net change in how much she spends total on meds and tax. Just that the tax will be separated and no longer embedded in the price, but rather listed as a line item on the receipt.
The other major difference is who collects the tax, remits, it and files the returns.
Instead of individuals and payroll departments doing so, businesses will simply remit the extra collected sales tax.
Of course, there are lots of reasons to oppose the "fair tax" but increased costs is not one of them, at least on the initial rate.
The problem will arise, when Congress decides to raise the rate from 23%.
Are you sure about all that?
Are you sure a sales tax on medication wouldn't be covered by her insurance? When we pay for prescriptions covered by our insurance here in California, we pay only a $5 copay and we don't pay the sales tax.
@"Basically, what this does is gives businesses no tax liability at all and it shoves those taxes at the consumer instead."
Do you think businesses don't already pass along their tax liability on to consumers by embedding it in the prices of their products? Would this FairTax not then put our tax burden directly in view, instead of hiding it in income tax and product prices? Would this new clarity of our tax burden not encourage EVERYONE to demand the government lower taxes and thus spending?
@"Businesses are not going to lower prices because they don't pay taxes anymore."
Perhaps not in the first month or so, but I think you underestimate competitive pressures of the market.
I think there are many other benefits you may be overlooking as well. For example, it would eliminate the roll of corporate lobbyists and special favors for tax breaks, as a result collusion between corporations and the government (aka Crony-Capitalism) would diminish, it would greatly improve the U.S. economy due to business moving back from overseas, etc.
p.s. Have you run the FairTax calculator on yourself? Perhaps you'd have a net benefit from the FairTax and could help your mother cover any financial shortcomings? (Assuming you're correct about any additional costs imposed on her.)
p.p.s. The 23% is the inclusive tax rate, meaning 23% of what you pay is tax. Assuming her insurance doesn't cover sales tax and the price of the meds stay the same at $3100 (BIG assumption btw), that means her additional costs would be $900+ not $600+, because 77% (100% less 23%) of $4025 is $3100. I don't tell you this to make things look worse, I'm just saying if you don't fully understand the down side of the FairTax, odds are you don't fully understand the upsides either. My initial reaction to a national sales tax was also very negative, but I've done a lot of research on the FairTax since then and I'm convinced the FairTax would be vastly superior to our current income tax and any flat income tax.
Why in the world is the GOP
Why in the world is the GOP the party that's introducing new taxes?
Given a choice over the current tax system or this Fair Tax sham, I think I prefer the former. (Of course, I'd rather have no taxes.) Fair Tax sounds good but they're likely going to just raise taxes across the board.
A 25% VAT will starve low and middle class families, reduce overall consumption, and dramatically reduce imports. So we'll have nothing to consume until we transition back into a manufacturing economy.
FairTax, not new taxes.
FairTax, not new taxes. Presumably, with the IRS gone and the income tax gone this would be a "fairer" implementation... Although there is an excellent argument to be made that since government would be the administrator of the FairTax, it could never actually be fair. We could assume hundreds, if not thousands of exceptions will instantly migrate into the law, rendering the whole idea moot.
If it's a federal consumption
If it's a federal consumption or VAT tax, it's new. (We don't pay federal sales taxes currently.)
This talk about "Fair Tax" looks like a marketing ploy. I don't believe -- and don't think you do either -- that the federal government is actually going to abolish the income tax. It sounds like they're going to add a VAT to the income tax. Bastards!
I believe government has
I believe government has grown to the point where it acts as an organism that has only one interest—it's own.

This was one of the most amazing concerts I have been to. His voice touches my soul, cheesy but true. The latest cd is amazing and almost worn out already!

Our 4th trip to see Ben and the IC. He simply improves every time. He seemed much more comfortable taking the mic, going accapella and letting Micheal play more lead. A great show in a beautiful venue.
Here's hoping one day he plays Calgary...but 'til then we'll keep following him whereever.
Rob and Diane - Calgary

What an amazing show! This is the 3rd time I've seen Mr. Harper and Co. live and it stood up to all the other times as equally amazing. We had 2nd row seats and were blown away with the set list and just how talented Ben and IC actually are. So soulful! The a cappella piece was breathtaking you could hear a pin drop in that place! I can't wait for the DVD to come out. Thanks Ben!

I cannot believe I have waited the better part of my adult years to see Ben Harper until this past Thursday night. But am I ever glad I splurged and bought pre-sale tickets. A totally amazing show and being a native from the Emerald City, I was equally impressed by how well the crowd reacted to BHIC music at such an amazing venue as the Paramount- like a 5 min + worship BHIC session and that wasn't even the encore! Was anyone else surprised by this? How anyone cannot be a fan is beyond me. I particularly enjoyed the break-out acoustic Where Could I Go. Did anyone else get goosebumps? Dear, sweet LORD! BHIC's music is so SOULful, lyrical and flat out sensational...I can't wait for my next concert.

Great show. Defintely more chill than Wednesday. Awesome, loved fool for a lonesome train. Lifeline was incredible! Amazing.

I flew up from San Francisco to see this show. Im a huge Ben Harper fan. This was an amazing show as always. The Bill Withers cover was awsome. This was different from any other BHIC show I have ever seen because of the venue. I could barely contain myself trying to sit down and be quiet during all of my favorait songs. But the subdued atmosphere was created because they were filming a live DVD. I cant wait to re live it all over again.

PS: I just saw Neil Young and he only played Heart of Gold...out of the ones you mentioned....mind you he did 24 songs
- Login to comment/review
sorry YOU didnt like it....BUT what were you expecting---"the classics"?-- hes touring his new album and even stated that the show would have a different style---bringing back OLD RARE classics and classy-er....
Just saying that you might not of liked the set....but at least comment about the music.....not just their titles.....
- Login to comment/review
That was the worst setlist ever. Fuck, man. Would you go see Neil Young if he didn't play Heart of Gold, Hey, Hey, My, My, Ohio, Southern Man, or Keep on Rockin in the Free World? Fuck no. Smarten up for the next tour.
- Login to comment/review
If I could remember being born, last night is how I would want to remember it. Honestly,words cannot bring justice to the show, so I'll sign off!

This was only the second time that I had seen Ben Harper live, the last time was @Bumbershoot, I believe was about 5 years ago, well I just checked it was in 2000. Like then I was impressed by Ben and the IC in how they were able to jam perfectly during songs and then turn them into another version of what you heard previously. This makes seeing Ben a new experience each time and gives his fans what they came for.
I was somewhat disappointed that he did not play "Wind Cries Mary" like he did last night. It was amazing how the crowd responded to his rendition of Use Me when he held the note for an incredible amount of time.
One last bit of info, I was absolutely impressed with Piers Faccini, pity that only a third of the house saw his great performance. I will definitely be on the lookout for him in the future.
- Login to comment/review
This show was different from last night but equally as good I thought. Most of the crowd sat the whole night than last, it was more mellow for sure. Some highlights again were Welcome to the Cruel World, 11th Commandment, and Use Me. Ready for next year!?
- Login to comment/review
What an amazing performance, this was my fifth Ben show and each one gets better. Ben singing acupela brought a tear to my eye. Amazing performances of Use Me and whipping boy. I thought the setlist was perfect. A great compliment to the setlist from the night before. This tour was said to be different then what they have done before. It was different, but it definetly didn't disapoint. Simply amazing!

My nose/eye area has always bothered me. I realize I have hollow eyes but that doesn't bother me as much as my nose. I have a small dorsal hump and to me it seems like it's not long enough for my face. I've always felt like my face looks somewhat masculine-and I think it's my nose. I want a much more feminine face. Any suggestions for surgery?
Nose Feels Out of Proportion with Face - Options?
Doctor Answers (15)
Facial Balance and Rhinoplasty
I would recommend seeing a rhinoplasty specialist. Have him "morph" pictures of your nose so you can see how a rhinoplasty might improve your facial balance.
Rhinoplasty can balance nose with facial features
The rhinoplasty operation can certainly reduce the projection of the nose. The goals for the rhinoplasty are to feminize and refine the nasal features so that the nose fits and balances with the face so as not to be as prominent. This involves a reduction in both bone and cartilage, sculpting the new nose while preserving your ability to breathe well. All this can be done through an endonasal or closed technique under general anesthesia. A cast is applied across the nose and visible bruising and swelling lasts for approximately two weeks. Full healing takes a year after undergoing a rhinoplasty.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com
VIDEO (click here): the temporary nose job: non-surgical rhinoplasty
First, I believe you are being overly critical about your appearance. Having said that, it is difficult to say what will achieve YOUR desired result. Computer imaging may be useful in this regard. One relatively simple, but temporary and potentially reversible, technique would be the use of a non-surgical rhinoplasty achieved by augmenting only the tip, This would give the illusion of a more projecting tip and a relativley smaller hump. This could be used as a method for you "try out" the nose for a period of time.
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/chicago-photo-gallery/rhinoplasty/
You might also like...
Nasal proportions
Your photo shows a straight dorsum, an nice angle of the nose/upper lip, and reasonable tip projection-to-nasal length ratio. Without other views (front and 3/4 facial) it is difficult to evaluate the nasal width and possible nuances of your nose. Your specific case may be improved with dorsal reduction to give a slight concave appearance with or without nasal bone infractures (moving the bones slightly inward). Your tip may need little or no change.
A face to face exam will answer many of your questions.
Conservative rhinoplasty may be indicated
Although it's difficult to tell from the distant photo, it appears that your nose may be slightly large and mildly out of balance with the rest of your face. A consultation and exam with an experienced nasal surgeon would obviously be important, but if you decide to have surgery, it definitely should be a conservative procedure because your nasal dorsum seems to be relatively straight.
Nose Out of Proportion With Face
It is difficult to make specific recommendations on after seeing one profile picture, but minimal changes can refine a nose and achieve harmony with surrounding facial features. Consult with an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon to see what could be changed to meet your goals.
Need better photos
It's not really clear to me why you think you have a masculine-appearing nose. Even when I magnify your photo, I cannot see a dorsal hump. If you could re-send a front view and true profile view, I would be better able to comment. Another option is to see a rhinoplasty surgeon who can better advise you after examining what you like and dislike about your nose.
Web reference: http://www.facialplasticsurgerymd.com
Nosa and proportion
If you are unahppy with the way the nose looks, you may want to consider a consultation for a rhinoplasty to improve the appearance. I couldn't say for sure what you would benefit from without an exam.
Rhinoplasty To Enhance Your Facial Appearance
Looking at your photo, I wouldn't say that your nose immediately jumps out as being excessively large. Overall you have very attractive facial features. That being said, you could choose to refine your nose to achieve an even more enhanced facial appearance. I often refer to cases like yours as 'finesse rhinoplasty' in my practice. Reducing your nasal bridge by even a few millimeters in conjunction with some tip reshaping, etc can make a nice difference for you. Given the very real risk of making your overall facial appearance worse with an unsuccessful rhinoplasty, do your homework. Seek consultation only with qualified, board certified plastic surgeons who have experience (and photos) in doing noses like yours. I wish you the best of luck.
Web reference: http://www.drhilinski.com/procedures/rhinoplasty-san-diego-ca/
Reducing a dorsal hump to feminize the face
In general, a convex dorsal profile on a women can contribute to a more masculine appearance, even when subtle. Furthermore, a convex dorsum makes the nose appear shorter, where as a straight or slightly sloped profile configuration can make the nose appear longer. In your case, reducing the dorsal hump in a careful and aesthetically appropriate way could give you both of the changes you are looking for. It is a good idea to have the surgeon preform imaging to help you see how the changes will affect your overall face. In some cases, the nose might look good, however, the affect does not make the face look more attractive. It is important to make the changes that enhance the overall appearance. This is the key to a good rhinoplasty.
Good luck,
Dr. Karam

Name: Amy
Louise Acker
Birthday: December 5th, 1976
Family: Younger siblings; Two sisters and a brother.
Occupation: Actress / Model
Hometown: Dallas, Texas.
Lives: Around LA.
Amy Acker is the rising star who portrays Winifred "Fred" Burkle on the WB network's cult hit, ANGEL. Amy Louise Acker was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. Amy is the oldest of four children; one of her sisters is in college (2001) and her other sister and brother are in high school (2001). Amy's father is a lawyer in Dallas and her mother is a full time mom. Growing up Amy wanted to be a ballerina. She studied ballet, modern and jazz dancing for 13 years. But sadly after knee surgery in high school she couldn't dance anymore. So Amy started taking acting in high school during her sophomore year, and she loved it. Also in in the ninth grade, Amy began modeling.
She started Southern Methodist University in 1996. Amy is not a Methodist, but attended SMU because they were supposed to have a really good theater department. As part of her acting course at SMU, she was trained in weapons and certified in combat. Amy's first television role was in the Wishbone company, which was used solely for the PBS television show Wishbone. During her junior year, she modeled for J.Crew's Spring 1998 catalogue. Previous to that shoot, Amy spent 3 of her summers modeling in Japan. While in school she performed in many plays: Seta, Beast on the Moon at Stage West; Terry, Balm in Gilead; Isabella, Measure for Measure; Chorus, The Greeks; Christina, Fefu and her Friends; Anna, Apparent Wind. She performed with Undermain theater (UMT), during her senior year (1998-1999) at SMU, in the praised Therese Raquin which Amy was nominated for Actress in a leading role in 1999 Leon Rabin Awards. Whilst she was at SMU, she was in the TV movie "To Serve and Protect" as Melissa Jorgensen which was release February 14 1999. It was filmed in Dallas, Texas so it was close to home. She received her Bachelor in Fine Arts in Acting from SMU when she graduated in 1999.
After she graduated from SMU ,she went and worked at a Shakespeare theater for about eight months in Wisconsin called American Players Theater. There she played Hero in Much Ado About Nothing and Hilda in The Master Builder by Ibsen. After American Players Theater, she moved to New York for about eight months, wanting to still do theater. In July of year 2000, Amy was in the play Talc, which was part of the 11th edition of The American Living Room festival in Manhattan. Although originally Amy wanted to stay with theater, she ended up doing a couple of independent films (The Accident as Nina and The Energy Specialist) and a television pilot (MTV's Hell House). It was then Amy realized she wanted to also pursue an onscreen career. So she made a vocational decision and moved to down to Los Angeles, California in November of year 2000.
The transition was gentle for Amy because her agent was set up in both LA and NY. Furthermore Amy was glad that many of her SMU fellow graduates were in LA. When Amy first came to LA she roomed with a girl from American Players Theater. Before Amy auditioned for ANGEL she worked on the science fiction movie Groom Lake, with the acclaimed William Shatner, at the end of year 2000. Amy went in and read and after the final cut got the part. Originally "Fred" was suppose to be a three episode deal. She was still auditioning for work, and there were some possible pilots lined up. So when Joss Wheadon mentioned a possibility of her being a regular for ANGEL's third season, Amy needed to know quick. So they shot a test scene and sent it to the network for approval. It was approved and the rest is history. Amy would be a regular. ANGEL started shooting season three on July 10th 2001. During her free time Amy travels, reads, skis, does yoga, hikes and horseback-rides. She is learning to play golf. For the summer of 2001 Amy visited her eldest sister in Paris. Like her character Fred she enjoys Mexican food. Amy still lives in LA.
