Robin Hugh Gibb, CBE (22 December 1949 – 20 May 2012) was a Manx musician, singer, songwriter[11] and producer, best known as a member of the Bee Gees, which was co-founded with his fraternal twin brother Maurice and older brother Barry. Their younger brother Andy was also a singer. He joined his first band the Rattlesnakes which was formed in Manchester, England.
The eldest three were born on the Isle of Man to English parents, Hugh and Barbara Gibb; the family later moved to Manchester (where Andy was born) before settling in Redcliffe, a suburb of Brisbane, Australia. Gibb began his career as part of the family trio (Barry-Maurice-Robin). When the group found their first success, they returned to England where they achieved worldwide fame. In 2002, the Bee Gees were appointed as CBEs for their "contribution to music".[12] however investiture was delayed until 2004. With record sales estimated in excess of 200 million units, the Bee Gees became one of the most successful pop groups of all time.[13] Music historian Paul Gambaccini described Gibb as "one of the major figures in the history of British music" and "one of the best white soul voices ever".[14] After a career spanning six decades, Gibb last performed on stage in February 2012 supporting injured British servicemen and women at a charity concert at the London Palladium.[15] On 20 May 2012, Gibb died at the age of 62 from liver and kidney failure brought on by colorectal cancer.[16]
As an instrumentalist, he primarily played a variety of keyboards, such as piano, organ and Mellotron on Bee Gees albums Bee Gees' 1st (1967)[17] and Odessa, he also played guitar on his debut solo album Robin's Reign (1970).[10]
Gibb was born on 22 December 1949 in Jane Crookall Maternity Home in Douglas, Isle of Man[18] to Hugh and Barbara Gibb (née Pass). He was the fraternal twin of Maurice Gibb and was the older of the two by 35 minutes. He is Manx by birth and English was his nationality.[19] Apart from Maurice, he had one sister, Lesley Evans and two brothers, Barry and Andy. He holds the Scottish descent on his father's side and Irish descent on his mother's side.[20] As a kid, Gibb loved to play with fire and would take boxes of matches from the kitchen. His mother said he would start fires anywhere he wanted and called him a "firebug". One fire he set even went to the point of police attention.
In 1953, the Gibbs watched the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on their tiny 12 inch black and white television. Their neighbour in Willaston, Isle of Man, Marie Beck who was the friend of his mother and her sister Peggy. Another neighbour, Helen Kenney was living in Douglas Head as Kenney recalls "Barry and the twins used to come into Mrs. Beck's house and we would mind them, Robin once said to me, 'We're going to be rich one day, we're going to form a band!' "Little did I realise he meant it".[1]
In 1955, when the Gibbs moved back to their home town of Manchester,[21] the Gibb brothers formed The Rattlesnakes. The band consisted of Barry on guitar and vocals, Robin and Maurice on vocals, Paul Frost on drums and Kenny Horrocks on tea-chest bass, and the quintet performed in local theatres in Manchester,[21] their influences at that time such as The Everly Brothers, Cliff Richard and Paul Anka. In May 1958, it was disbanded as Frost and Horrocks left, and the name changed to Wee Johnny Hayes and the Blue Cats. In August 1958, the family travelled to Australia on the same ship as Australian musician Red Symons.[22] The name was finally changed to Bee Gees, when the lived in Queensland, Australia.[23]
Their first single "The Battle of the Blue and the Grey" backed with "The Three Kisses of Love" was released only in Australia, but not charted. In 1963, Gibb sang backing vocals along with his brothers in other Australian artists' songs in Australia, the songs are: Judy Stone's "It Takes a Lot (To Make Me Cry)", Johnny Devlin's "Stomp the Tumbarumba", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On", Jimmy Hannan's "Beach Ball", "You Gotta Have Love", "You Make Me Happy" and "Hokey Pokey".

In 1965, Gibb provided backing vocals on Trevor Gordon's "Little Miss Rhythm and Blues" and "Here I Am", Michelle Rae's "I Wanna Tell the World" and "Everybody's Talkin'", Noeleen Batley's "Watching the Hours Go By".[24] In 1966, Gibb participated in numerous songs: Bip Addison's "Hey" and "Young Man's Fancy", Sandy Summers' "Messin Around" and "A Girl Needs to Love", Anne Shelton's "Talk to Me" and "I Miss You", Vince Melouney's "I Need Your Lovin' Tonight" and "Mystery Train", April Bryon's "He's a Thief" and "A Long Time Ago", MPD Ltd's "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" and "I Am What I Am", Ray Brown and the Whispers' "Too Late to Come Home", Lori Balmer's "Who's Been Writing On the Wall Again" and "In Your World", Marty Rhone's "She Is Mine" and "Village Tapestry", Vyt's "Why Do I Cry", Barrington Davis' "As Fast As I Can" and "Raining Teardrops", Jenene's "So Long Boy" and "Don't Say No", Jon Blanchfield's "Upstairs, Downstairs" and "Town of Tuxley Toymaker, Part 1". His first lead vocal on a Bee Gees record was "I Don't Think It's Funny", the second was "How Love Was True". Both songs were released on The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs. The first song written by Gibb was "I Don't Know Why I Bother With Myself" released on Spicks and Specks (1966). The Bee Gees made their last recording session in Australia, "Gilbert Green", "Deeply, Deeply Me", "Mrs. Gillespie's Refrigerator" and "I Can't See Nobody".[25]
The group's first period of British success in the late 1960s started with "New York Mining Disaster 1941" and the band added drummer Colin Petersen and guitarist Vince Melouney to make the group as a band. They toured the Europe in 1967 and 1968 as well as US in August 1968. In 13 June 1968, seven songs was recorded including "Indian Gin and Whisky Dry" all of the songs was credited to Gibb alone just his vocals and guitar, Gibb co-wrote "Only One Woman", The Marbles' debut and successful hit especially in Europe and New Zealand. In August, the band started to record Odessa.[26] However, the rivalry with Barry eventually prompted Robin to leave the group and begin a solo career (three months after guitarist Vince Melouney left the band) after his song "Lamplight" was relegated to the B-side of Barry's song "First of May". Meanwhile, there were rumours during this period that he was dealing with drug problems, allegedly leading his parents to threaten legal action to make him a ward of court (the UK age of majority at that time being 21, while Gibb was only 19).[27] The Bee Gees' last recording session with Robin was on February 1969.[10]
On 19 March 1969, he announced that he is leaving the Bee Gees the same day as the band recorded "Tomorrow Tomorrow" and was became their first single without Robin.[10] In his solo career, Gibb was initially successful with a number 2 UK hit, "Saved by the Bell", which sold over one million copies and received a gold disc.[28] As he performs that song on the German TV show Beat-Club. Also in 1969, Gibb co-produced "Love for Living", the song was performed by Clare Torry and was released as a single.[29] He also starts a mini-tour, making television appearances in dozen countries to promote "Saved by the Bell". By 19 July 1969, New Musical Express announced "Tonight, [Robin Gibb] is fronting a 97-piece orchestra and a 60-piece choir in a recording of his latest composition, 'To Heaven And Back' which was inspired by the Apollo 11 moonshot. It is an entirely instrumental piece, with the choir being used for astral effects. The single will be billed as by 'The Robin Gibb Orchestra and Chorus and it will be rush-released as soon as possible by Polydor". At that time, he was doing a musical score for Henry The Eighth and he's making his own film called Family Tree. Later, it was reported on NME that Gibb wrote dozen of songs for Tom Jones, a meeting between Gibb and Jones was said to be arranged for Gibb's return from a three-day promo trip to Germany.[1]
In 31 January and 1 February 1970, Gibb performs in Auckland, New Zealand. However, Robin's first solo album, Robin's Reign (1970) was less successful and he soon found that being a solo artist was unsatisfying. Maurice played bass on the song "Mother and Jack", but was subsequently removed from the project by producer Robert Stigwood. Also in that year, Colin Petersen produced "Make a Stranger Your Friend" performed by Jonathan Kelly, on which Gibb sang on the chorus with Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones, Klaus Voormann of Plastic Ono Band, Madeline Bell, three members of The Family Dogg, Jackie Lomax, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan and others. By January 1970, Gibb started to record his second solo album Sing Slowly Sisters until February but was still unreleased. He wanted "Great Caesar's Ghost" to be release as a single around 1970 with "Engines, Aeroplanes" as the B-side but the two songs was not included on that album and was unreleased until this day.

In December, Gibb recorded a demo "After the Laughter".[30]
In 1971, the group released Trafalgar. The first single, "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart", the band's first US #1 hit, the second single, the ballad "Don't Wanna Live Inside Myself" was less successful. After that, their popularity started to ebb.[31] In April 1972, two months after the departure of drummer Geoff Bridgford, he wrote his last composition on a Bee Gees record "Never Been Alone" (until 1999). In 1972, To Whom It May Concern was released, with singles "Run to Me" and "Alive".[32] In 1973, the country-influenced album Life in a Tin Can was released.

In 1968 Gibb married Molly Hullis, a secretary in Robert Stigwood's organisation. The couple had both survived the Hither Green rail crash, which killed 49 people on 5 November 1967.[60] They had two children together, Spencer (b. 1972) and Melissa (b. 1974). The couple divorced in 1980 after years of living separate lives, as Hullis filed for divorce in 22 May 1980, with Gibb almost permanently in the U.S. and Hullis remaining in the UK.[61] On 9 September 1983, Gibb was arrested and sentenced to 14 days in prison for illegally speaking to the press about his previous marriage.
Gibb's second marriage, from 1985 until his death,[62] was to Dwina Murphy Gibb, an author and artist. She is interested in the Druidry religion and is a follower of the neo-Hindu Brahma Kumaris movement. The couple had a son, Robin-John (known as RJ (b. 1983). Robin-John's first major musical project is the Titanic Requiem (2012), written with Gibb and first performed at the Central Hall, Westminster, London, on 10 April 2012, by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and RSVP Voices. [63]
Gibb had an eight-year affair with his housekeeper Claire Yang that produced his fourth child, Snow Evelyn Robin Juliet Gibb born November 4, 2008.[62][64]
Gibb and his wife divided their time between their homes in Peel, Isle of Man, their mansion in Miami, Florida [65] and their main residence in Thame, Oxfordshire.[66]
On 10 March 1988, younger brother Andy died in Oxford, England, of myocarditis.[67] On 12 January 2003, twin brother Maurice died in Miami Beach, Florida, of complications from a twisted intestine.
Politically, Gibb was a supporter of New Labour, the British Labour Party under Tony Blair. He launched a rally in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, ahead of the 2005 General Election.[68] He was a close friend of the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was criticised for staying over at Gibb's Miami mansion during Christmas 2006.[69] In 2008 Gibb publicly stated that he continued to get on "like a house on fire" with Blair, and claimed that the then Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown regularly listened to the Bee Gees.[70] "He listens to our music every day. Gordon likes our music and I like Gordon," he told The Times.[71] In a tribute upon his death, longtime friend Tony Blair said: "Robin was not only an exceptional and extraordinary musician and songwriter, he was a highly intelligent, interesting and committed human being. He was a great friend with a wonderful open and fertile mind and a student of history and politics."[72][73]
Robin Gibb worked on behalf of several charities. He was the organiser of the Sunseeker Ball in aid of the Outward Bound Trust. For the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC), Gibb served as president from 2007 to 2012.[74] He was also the longest serving president (2008–2011) of the Heritage Foundation, which honours figures of British culture and facilitated his campaign on behalf of the Bomber Command Memorial Appeal.[75][76]
On 14 August 2010, while performing in Belgium, Gibb began to feel abdominal pains. On 18 August, at an Oxford hospital, he underwent emergency surgery for a blocked intestine, the same condition that his brother, Maurice, suffered from (Maurice died from a heart attack while awaiting surgery for the condition).[77] Gibb recovered and returned to perform concerts in New Zealand and Australia. During this time, Gibb was also involved in promoting fund-raising for the memorial dedicated to RAF Bomber Command in Green Park, London. Gibb also wrote The Titanic Requiem with his son Robin-John, which was recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic in 2012.[78] Gibb continued to make television appearances and other events following his surgery, but in April 2011 he was forced by health problems to cancel his tour of Brazil.[77] Another concert in Paris was cancelled in October 2011. On 14 October, Gibb was due to perform the charity single with the Soldiers, but was again rushed to hospital with severe abdominal pains.[79] On 18 October, following his release from the hospital, Gibb appeared on ITV's The Alan Titchmarsh Show looking gaunt and frail.[80]
On 27 October 2011, Gibb cancelled an appearance only minutes before he was due to perform at the Poppy Appeal Concert in London.[81] Later the same week however, Gibb was seen in London and quoted as saying he felt "absolutely great".[82]
In November 2011, he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, which had metastasised to his liver several months earlier.[83] In an interview published in The Mail on Sunday on 22 January 2012, Gibb spoke for the first time of the cancer.
"For more than 18 months, I had lived with an inflammation of the colon; then I was diagnosed with colon cancer, which spread to the liver. I have undergone chemotherapy, however, and the results — to quote my doctor — have been 'spectacular'. It's taken a toll, naturally, but the strange thing is that I've never felt seriously ill. I've mostly felt great. There have been many false claims around, which I'd like to dispel. I am not and have never been 'at death's door'. Nor do I have a team of alternative doctors working on my health. That's not true, although I'm not averse to healthy remedies for any illness. I feel they can go together with conventional medicine. I do eat health foods and drink herbal teas made for me by Dwina, my wife and RJ's mother. Other than that, I am under the care of Dr. Peter Harper at The London Clinic".[84]
In March 2012, Gibb was hospitalised for intestinal surgery and cancelled scheduled appearances while recovering.[85][86] In April, however, he contracted pneumonia and fell into a coma.[87][88] Although he came out of his coma later in April,[89] his colorectal cancer had advanced[90] and he died in London on 20 May 2012 at the age of 62 from liver and kidney failure.[14][16][91] His funeral was held on 8 June 2012 and he was buried at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, near his home in Thame, Oxfordshire.[92][93] In September of the same year, a blue plaque was placed on the house.[94]
The Who's Roger Daltrey recalls: "A lovely, lovely guy. I hear everyone talking about the success of their career but I haven't heard many talk about him as a singer and I used to think he was one of the best. To me, singing is about moving people and Robin's voice had something about it that could move me and, I'm sure, millions of others. It was almost like his heart was on the outside." John Travolta recalls, "I thought Robin was one of the most wonderful people, gifted, generous and a real friend to everyone he knew. And we'll miss him."[95] Tim Rice described Gibb as "a charming man". Rice adds: "I saw him only a couple of weeks ago, He wasn't at all well but was putting up a marvelous fight. It's a terrible loss for the music industry." Gibb's friend Cliff Richard says, "We are a fraternity of people who sing pop and rock and Robin is another one of us who's gone too soon, too early. So the legacy will be what the Bee Gees did, which was stunning, stunningly good stuff, right on a par with the Beatles." Ringo Starr told the BBC: "Robin will be remembered as a musician and as a singer and part of the Bee Gees. The legacy they'll leave behind is 'Stayin' Alive', the harmonies and the songs that they've written." Dionne Warwick says: "He was wonderful. He was a jokester. He had an incredibly witty sense of humour and was fun to be around. All three of them were sensational gentlemen first, just fun loving guys. I think what was most attractive to me was how grounded they were. I think a lot of it has to do with their sense of family and being together as a family. That is very important, to be connected. They loved each other very strongly and showed it, and it was a joy."[96]
Kenny Rogers adds: "Robin was a part of something unique, The sound of the Bee Gees was so specific and dominating, especially in the 70s, unlike anything that had ever happened before or will ever happen again. Mostly, Robin was a good guy who didn't deserve to die this young. We will all miss him for what he was as a person and what he brought to music."[96] Other artists paid tribute to Gibb including Ronan Keating, Liam Gallagher, Hanson, David Dramain of Disturbed, Atmosphere, Paula Abdul, Jake Shears of The Scissor Sisters, Jermaine Dupri, Peter Frampton, Justin Timberlake, Adam Hills, Peter Andre, Richard Marx, Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas, The Doors, Bruno Mars, Sam Sparro, Elton John, Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed, Duran Duran, The Script and Bryan Adams.[97]
In 1994, Gibb was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California. In 1997, the Bee Gees were inducted as a group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, US. At the 1997 BRIT Awards held in Earls Court, London on 24 February, the Bee Gees received the award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.[98]
In the New Year Honours 2002 Gibb was appointed as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) along with his brothers Maurice and Barry. However, the official presentation ceremony at Buckingham Palace in London was delayed until 2004 due to Maurice's death.[12]
In May 2004, Gibb and his brother Barry both received honorary doctorates of music from The University of Manchester, England.[99] In 2005, Gibb received the Steiger Award (Miner Award) in Bochum, Germany for accomplishments in the arts. On 10 July 2009, both brothers were also made Freemen of the Borough of Douglas, Isle of Man. The award was also bestowed posthumously on Maurice, therefore confirming the freedom of the town of their birth to Gibb, Barry and Maurice.[100]
The radio and television presenter Paul Gambaccini has stated that the Bee Gees were "second only to Lennon and McCartney as the most successful songwriting unit in British popular music", and recognised Gibb as "one of the major figures in the history of British music [and] one of the best white soul voices ever".[14] Gibb was a fellow of the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors (BASCA).[101]

Ackman Adds to Citigroup, Kraft, Family Dollar
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Bill Ackman's Pershing Square's investment fund added two big holdings last quarter, Lowe's (LOW) and Canadian Pacific (CP).
No holdings were reduced, while Ackman added to his positions in Kraft Foods (KFT), Beam Inc. (FO), Citigroup (C) and, to a lesser extent, Family Dollar (FDO).
|Bill Ackman
Details of the new investments were revealed in a regulatory report. Of Ackman's 10 investments in the fund, Lowe's is No. 7, representing 7.1% of the fund. Canadian Pacific was No. 8, at 3.3%. But that didn't account for shares of the Calgary-based railroad company acquired after the quarter ended.
Investments in JCPenney (JCP) and General Growth Properties (GGP) remained unchanged. They're the two biggest positions, at 18% and 15% of the portfolio.Ackman announced the purchase of Lowe's at an investor conference last week. According to the filing, he acquired 21 million shares of the home-improvement store in the third quarter. The investment was valued at $410 million as of Sept. 30. Lowe's, in the midst of a turnaround effort, reported third-quarter earnings that declined 44%. In response, Moody's and Fitch each downgraded the company's credit rating by two notches, as they expect the housing market to remain sluggish. While Ackman's angle on the investment in Lowe's is unclear, there's lots of room for improvement at the retailer. Ackman could also find value in Lowe's real estate, which is 89% company-owned. >>View Bill Ackman's Portfolio The 13-F filing released late yesterday shows a 2.4% stake in Canadian Pacific at the end of September, though Ackman announced a 12.2% ownership position in in a separate filing Oct. 18. In that filing, he said he believed the shares of Canadian Pacific were undervalued and planned to have conversations with management, the board or other stockholders about the business. Ackman is known for making large investments in companies, and then pushing for asset sales or other strategic changes he believes will boost the stock price. However, Ackman told Bloomberg he didn't plan to push the company to sell itself. Ackman's plan to unlock value in these two new investments remains uncertain, but given his track record as an activist investor, he will be making noise, so the story has just begun. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Lindsey Bell. >To follow Lindsey Bell on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/lindseycbell. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

1971 Ford Mustang Base Convertible Review
It's an eye-catching fun car! The hood seems to go on forever when your sitting in the drivers seat and the windshield has a very sleek sweep to it. The engine compartment has plenty room to work, and simplicity is the word when compaired to todays engines. It always starts up immediately, and during accerlation, provides smooth power without hesitation. The power brakes (disk in front, drums in rear) are fantastic and provide solid braking. It's a really nice 40 year old Mustang and runs like a top!
It only gets around 18 mpg, which was common in the 70's but a definate disadvantage now. Lead additive and octane booster is thrown into the tank prior to filling up with premium. It has the orig AM radio, with a single speaker in the upper console, a real bummer if you don't like talk radio. It has a few small paint chips/scratches,
A Little Piece Of The 70's — It's been a family car for 40 years and the top has been down about 80% of that time. It's always been very reliable, easy to maintain and a pleasure to drive. It has plenty of get-up-and-go, and can stop on a dime. Not much more I can add to that.
Primary Use: Family transportation

Its Bad Ass — 347 stroker motor with a 4 speed. dont see them all that much at car shows. never see them anywhere. was a 302 with a 2 barrel carb. and a 3 speed manual. a very very nice car to own.

Pure Horsepower and Mustang Band
Not Original Parts
Mustang Boss — The accleration of this car is amazing compare with another muscle car in that era. 0-60 mph under 6 second, is one big achievement for car that weight between 2500-3500 lbs. 428 cu in engine just make the driver to scream out.

the looks aand comments you get is to be believed
lot of maintenance but thats ok really
Keeping The Dream Alive — I just love everthing about my Mustang. Asome 70 muscle car. AGGHHHHH the good old days..... I have always wanted one of these cars since I saw one brand new in 1971. It took me 36 years to get one and Oh boy was it worth the wait. Not as good a drive as I imagined when I was 12, but back then anything would have been great. Just to have the privalige of owning a little bit of history is fantastic.

New improved steering from the 71. Great looking classic muscle.
Bigger heavier car. Lost a lot of Chrome and emblems and went to graphics.
Fun Muscle Car. Blast For You And The Family. — The 71-73 was the last biggest production Mustang produced. The hoax of fuel shortage to drive up fuel cost. Turned the Mustang into the Mustang II. ? This was the last of the real muscle for a while! 71-73 was the last of the big mean old shcool muscle. This will be a fun restore. There's many parts and suppliers available for these cars. Just be careful shop around and look for the best products and prices. You can get a lot of money in the quick. Wish me luck on mine! Thanks T.

Which add-ins are really necessary for Outlook 2007?
I was having "data file could not be read" problems all of a sudden when I started Outlook 2007 (started today). Running scanpst found errors are made fixes, but did not solve the problem. Doing a search revealed that some people had good luck removing or disabling add-ins which were not installed as part of the OS installation. I took a look and found these add-ins active in Outlook:
Adobe Contribute Plugin
Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging
Microsoft Office Groove Proxy for Outlook Add-in
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Colleague Import Add-in
Microsoft Outlook Mobile Service
OneNote Notes about Outlook Items
Outlook Change Notifier
Windows Search Email Indexer
I think Change Notifier is associated with Apple, but not sure if it's either Quicktime or iTunes. I have to assume the Adobe one is for Photoshop, Reader, or FlashPlayer. I'd like to find out for sure where these all come from and whether I lose anything if I decide to disable any of them.
BTW, I did disable Change Notifier and it did seem to fix the data file problem on opening Outlook, but I still would like to know about the rest of these.

Thanks. I think Change Notifier was the culprit. Not sure what iTunes would be doing with my email anyway.

Well, it came back. A search on Yahoo shows this seems to be an occasional problem with Outlook 2007. I don't know what to do except try to disable more of these add-ins. How many more of add-ins can I disable without affecting basic email functionality?

My middle child is going through something crazy, he is not dealing too well with having the attention on the baby and not him. He's been playing "baby" and saying goo goo ga ga and wanting to be held. Think he's jealous???? LOL!

Hope everyone is doing well and I think we are going to start seeing a lot of BFPs around here very soon!

The stand on the 55" F8000 is the same width as the TV, which means the TV stand has to be the same width or wider. There are no TV stands the same width as this TV, and not everybody has room for a wider stand although the width of the TV would be OK. I would go and buy this TV tomorrow, with a smaller width stand (As 90% of all the Samsungs have) it would fit straight on my stand. What a shame I have to drop down in spec just because of the stand width. Are there any plans on a optional (Narrower) stand ?
Describe the issue
reviewer1 1 years ago
The stand is as wide as the TV. If the stand seems too wide the TV itself is not ideal for those who think the stand is too wide. The stand in F8000 looks beautiful but some may still find wall-mounting ideal (if right TV furniture is not present).

It's a shame, bit of a design slip up there as many people will not but this TV because of the stand width. Personally I'm off to buy the F7000 doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the two.

How long after having breast augmentation can you pick up children? I run a small at...
Unfortunately this question needs to be answered by the surgeon who the patient is contemplating seeing as it will vary greatly.
The recovery from subpectoral breast augmentation used to be a rather unpleasant experience, but it no longer has to be. A space for the implant must be developed behind the pectoralis major, and a portion of the muscle's inferior origin must be released. Surgery on a muscle in most cases produces significant postoperative pain, and that is certainly true for breast augmentation. However, by using a local anesthetic infusion device (the On-Q 'Pain Buster') for the first two to three days after surgery, the pain associated with this procedure can be reduced quite dramatically.
While breast augmentation patients in this practice receive a prescription for a mild narcotic pain medication for use after surgery (just in case), most of them never take it. Most patients report little to no pain in the evening following surgery, and perhaps some mild discomfort on Postop day one and two. Patients can resume all normal, non-strenuous activities of daily living immediately after surgery, and can begin pec major range of motion exercises on the evening of their procedure.
Patients are seen in the office the day after surgery, and again on Friday for removal of the Go-Pump catheters (which is painless). Working patients usually return to work the Monday following the surgery; stay-at-home moms may need some help with toddlers for the first two to three days after surgery. Exercise is limited to walking only for the first two weeks; in weeks three and four some light exercise is permissible. Patients can gradually increase their exercise/workout level in the second month (weeks five through eight), however it is a full eight weeks before patients are allowed to return to activities that require forceful, repetitive, sustained pec major contraction - such as pushups and heavy weight lifting. It is important to ensure that the breasts are well supported in snug fitting sports bra (or two) when returning to impact exercise such as running or aerobics.
Running a daycare center and picking up numerous small children is a very exertional physical activity. Of course you need to strictly follow the advice of the plastic surgeon who performed your breast augmentation surgery. However if you have a sub-muscular breast augmentation I believe you can expect to be limited in your ability to lift numerous children for at least 3 and possibly 4 weeks.

this product is great for normal skin, abit too over exfoliating, but none the less its great.
makes my skin really smooth and moisturised feel afterwards
packaging is crappy, but definately a re purchase!
Angels on Bareskin comes in a rather flimsy plastic tub which I think is a pretty poor move on LUSH's part. Package it in small mason jars instead -- no harm done to the environment and they are reuseable. Plus, a mason jar would keep Angels on Bareskin far better protected than the stupid plastic tub does. Aah, I digress! Cleanser-wise Angels on Bareskin is the BEST I EVER TRIED. It left my skin soft and supple, and clear! Instantly clear! But because of the packaging and the texture (clay) of the cleanser, it gets ruined far too quickly with water and such. Also, it is a natural product without preservatives and it expires FAR too quickly for my liking (try one and a half weeks!) So be warned before you buy this cleanser -- you will have a tortuous relationship with it!

If you love the smell of lavender, this product is for you. I have oily/combination skin that needs daily exfoliation, and this super gentle, wonderful smelling scrub cleanser does it all. I splash my face with water, take a tiny pinch of AOBS, mix it with a drop or two of water in the palm of my hand, and then rub in circular motions around my face. Hasn't broken me out yet, but then again, this is recently purchased. I store it in my bathroom drawer, and I hope it will last me quite a while since a little goes a long way. Will buy again and again!
*UPDATE: Irritates me and makes me red. Discovered that I am most definately reactive to lavender oil. Will not purchase again and am wondering what the heck to do with the remaining 90 g I have left of it.
I've only been using this for a couple of days so I don't know if I will have any adverse effects yet. I will update again. BUT so far so good. I really like how it is not your average grainy scrub-in-a-tube product but it is packaged like take-out wasabi. It is a little pricy but a little goes a long way. I'm actually not a fan of the scent. I don't know why people love it. It's just too.. natural.. like soil to me. But it's all natural and leaves my skin smooth, so I like it. =D
EDIT: I actually decided to swap this away because it leaves a thin film afterwards (which feels ungood for my combination skin). I will not be repurchasing, but I do recommend it for people with drier skin types!

I have been using Angels on Bareskin for years. It was one of the very first Lush products I tried and I love it. It gives me smooth, healthy skin and does a beautiful job exfoliating. The scent is really lovely. You have to rinse it off really well otherwise it leaves a little bit of a film on your face. It doesn't irritate my skin at all. Lush rules1 :-D
Aw, I'm kinda sad this product didn't work for me. I'm in the the 'makes-me-break-out' group of people so I can't use this on my face any more. It's a shame because it smells lovely in a green, earthy, natural way, and it's based on a medieval recipe so I kind of liked pretending to be a medieval damsel when using it :-)! But after using it for just over a week I was left with a horrendous break-out on my forehead, it left my face greasy so my make-up was sliding off and just generally didn't agree with my face at all. Will use up as hand scrub instead.
I've got oily skin, so I guess this product isn't really meant for my skin type, but I don't care, I use it anyway. I was going to buy the Herbalism one, but after I smelled AOBS, I couldn't resist it. It feels so fresh, smells lovely, and even if I accidentely get some of it in the corner of my mouth, it doesn't matter because it's all natural. I use it everyday as a cleanser. It hasn't made a significant difference to my skin, but it's a good, simple lush-smelling (half a pun intended)cleanser. UPDATE: This upset my skin when using it everyday and gave me spots, but for twice a week it's great.
Almost but not quite HG standard on my combination skin. Use sparingly and the tub will last forever.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The smell alone would make me purchase again. I'm always opening it just to sniff :) As for a cleanser, I haven't had any probs with my skin in the 4 months I've been using it. I've always had nice skin but it definetly KEEPS it looking nice! Great product-my fave from lush!
I bought a tub of this back in May, only to try it once and discard it because I didn't know how to use it. I recently came across that forgotten tub again and figured I'd just use it up (I live in a dry climate and it hadn't gone bad or anything). It is a bit unfair to review this after only a week and a half of use, but if I experience and unpleasant effects I will return to update. So far, I really love this, it makes my skin very soft. Thanks to the reviews here I learned how to properly use this and even started to enjoy the ritual of it. It's a very gentle scrub and I love the natural ingredients. I've already placed an order with Lush for more AOBS. Update: I still love this, but it's too expensive (especially with the s&h). I've found that simply using ground almonds to exfoliate does a good job and is so much cheaper.

Hoyle, Sir Fred
Hoyle, Sir Fredbiographical name
(born June 24, 1915, Bingley, Yorkshire, Eng.died Aug. 20, 2001, Bournemouth, Dorset) British mathematician and astronomer. He was educated at the University of Cambridge, where he became a lecturer in 1945. Within the framework of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, Hoyle formulated a mathematical basis for the steady-state theory of the universe, making the expansion of the universe and the creation of matter interdependent. Controversy about the theory grew in the late 1950s and early '60s. New observations of distant galaxies and other phenomena supported the big-bang model and weakened the steady-state theory, which has since generally fallen out of favour. Though forced to alter some of his conclusions, Hoyle persistently tried to make his theory consistent with new evidence. He is known also for his popular science works and fiction.

Oman swatted aside a tentative Singapore 2-0 on Wednesday to make it two wins from two as they went top of Group A in Asian Cup qualifying.Singapore, under the guidance of new coach Bernd Stange, dominated possession in the first half but offered little in attack with Paul Le Guen's side proving clinical with their few chances.Qasim Said eased past a static home defence to fire Oman into a 15th-minute lead with his fellow midfielder Eid Al-Farsi blasting a low drilled shot from 22 metres to double the advantage on the stroke of halftime.
I was afraid of the context, the artificial pitch. But we prepared well ... the players accepted to leave Oman before Eid which is not easy for them and I want to thank them for the effort
Paul Le Guen, Oman coach
The home side wilted in the second half with Oman guilty of wasting several chances to improve their goal difference in the four-team group, also featuring Syria and Jordan, where two sides will qualify for the finals in Australia in 2015."I think we did the job, it was vital to win and we did it," Le Guen, who had been concerned before the game that his players would still be feeling the effects of fasting during the Islamic holy month of Ramadam which ended last week, told reporters."During the first half we were average, not many chances but efficient."I was afraid of the context, the artificial pitch. But we prepared well... the players accepted to leave Oman before Eid which is not easy for them and I want to thank them for the effort." Syria host Jordan in Iran on Thursday in the other Group A match in the second round.The teams are back in Asian Cup qualifying action in October along with the other 16 sides trying to reach the finals in Australia where the hosts, holders Japan and South and North Korea all have places and do not need to qualify.

On the Games, naps, getting his kicks
When he was good, he was real good, as shown by one newspaper headline of the time: CHRISTOU ALMIGHTY!
Fans had a unique "woof" chant for Christou, while opposition supporters shouted out "poof." Apart from a serious 18-month back injury, "Woofa" appeared throughout the 1990s for then-top Australian Football League (AFL) club Carlton in his native Melbourne -- and on occasions in front of crowds of almost 100,000.
He was forcibly retired in 2002, and it still rankles. Christou left Australia, chased glory in the United States and currently lives in Greece, a famous sportsman in a city about to be invaded by athletes of all kinds as part of the 2004 Olympic Games.
The Olympics is reuniting the huge Greek diaspora -- Greeks all over the world proud to get back to mother country. A friend working for ATHOC, the Olympics organizing committee, invited Christou back to Athens. And while he is looking forward to attending the Games -- he's been working in Athens for Australian media, covering the buildup to the Olympics -- he originally had hoped to be involved in an official capacity.

|These have been the most mystified species for cross pollination. I grow several now but fruit set is extremely low.
I'm talking about Manor, Oka etc.
Which is doing the pollination for you?
So far, sand cherry, [Prunus besseyi] seems to be the best as they say,.. what is your thought on this?

|I dunno konrad, after months of reading up on pollinating my toka, I dont recall seeing anything much about cherry plums. DNA says sand cherry. Turns out that the U of sask has the same writings as DNA gardens. Im wondering if any japanese plums will pollinate? I guess other cherry plums just arent cutting it? Maybe the winter just kills off the buds?
- Posted by plumhillfarm 4b (My Page) on Wed, Jul 16, 14 at 12:34
|Hi, I have several of these, Sapa, Sapalta, and I believe manor. They have huge loads of fruit every year and some of them are not very close to eachother. THey bloom later than most Japanese plums, catch the tail of the Kaga and Toka blooms, and I have no sand cherries, but there are choke cherries in the woods. I got them due to the U of Sasak article a long time ago. I have been pulling them out as they are not very tastey (but so purple they are almost black), and they are to short for my sprayer so they get brown rot badly. THey are supposed to be extremely hardy so I do not think the cold is an issue. I would say native plum would be the best as they bloom at the same time.

|Thank you all!
Plumhill,.so, do you think it's the Kaga and Toka, I don't think
chokecherry will do, I do have Toka, should be flowering next year I hope, please keep an eye open on what's doing it for you.
I must have these in the ground for at least 15 years now and see slowly little improvements since I planted tons of other stuff,..lots of wild plums and Americana, flowering overlapping but not much improvement, the best is when I hand pollinate with sand cherry, rarely ever see bees on them,..they don't seem to like these!

A Guide to the Liz Smith Papers, 1982-2014
Biographical Note
Award-winning columnist Liz Smith was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1923. She attended the University of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism, where she worked for The Daily Texan student newspaper and graduated in 1949. After moving to New York City, she worked as a producer for Mike Wallace on CBS Radio and as a news producer for NBC-TV. In the 1960s, she was entertainment editor for Cosmopolitan magazine and for Sports Illustrated. Smith began writing her self-titled gossip column for the New York Daily News in 1976, and three years later she started an eleven-year stint on Live at Five, a celebrity news show on WNBC in NYC. She won an Emmy award for her reporting from the battleship Intrepid on the 40th anniversary of World War II. In 1991, Smith moved her column to Newsday, leaving four years later for the New York Post. Her column was discontinued in 2009, but Smith continued to write online for "wowOwow.com: Women on the Web", a website focusing on women's issues which she co-founded with The Women on the Net, Inc., in 2008. The site was later acquired and became "purewow.com". Smith's memoir, Natural Blonde, was a New York Times bestseller.
In addition, Smith continues to author a daily column for the New York Social Diary, Huffington Post, and the syndicated papers of the Chicago Tribune. She also regularly contributes to Fox News Entertainment.

Answer #1Johnny Mopar March 17, 2011, 16:32Master
Intermittent engine stalling when taking foot off accelerator pedal (coasting) or coming to a stop is frequently caused by a dirty Throttle Body. The throttle plate and bore may become coated with contaminates from the intake system. This restricts the amount of air flow past the throttle plates at closed throttle to allow the Idle Air Control motor (IAC) to compensate and keep the engine at it's programmed target idle. If the throttle body plate and bore are coated with contaminates, perform the procedure to clean. On some engines, removal of the throttle body is not necessary. 1. Remove the throttle body from the engine;
2. Spray the entire throttle body bore and both sides of the throttle plate with Mopar Throttle Body Cleaner, p/n 04897156AA. This will remove the bulk of the contaminant.
CAUTION: This cleaner should only be used in a well ventilated area. Do not allow contact with skin or eyes. Rubber or butyl gloves and safety glasses are recommended. Wash thoroughly after use. Do not ingest.
NOTE: Use only Mopar Throttle Body Cleaner, the use of other cleaning agents may damage components of the throttle body.
3. While holding the throttle open, use a small, (1" x 1") piece of green Scotch Brite scuff pad, (or soft bristle brush), clean the throttle body bore and throttle plate, (including edges). NOTE: It is important that this cleaning procedure be performed thoroughly and completely. The edge of the throttle plate, and the portion of the throttle body bore where the throttle plate comes to rest are the most critical areas where the cleaning should be concentrated. These areas must be free of all deposits when the cleaning is completed.
4. Thoroughly clean the throttle body with Mopar Throttle Body Cleaner, p/n
04897156AA, and blow dry with compressed air. Inspect for any foreign material which may have been left from the cleaning process.
CAUTION: Do not blow shop air pressure directly into the throttle shaft or throttle body housing holes.

"Great recipe! I made a lot of substitutions because I was missing things, but they came out excellent! I used 1 tablespoon butter and one tablespoon coconut oil, I used half honey and half maple syrup, I used shelled pumpkin seeds instead of coconut, and I used a pre-mixed dried fruit mix from market basket with dates and pineapple instead of ra""

The Sleepy Jackson and Pnau might not ring any bells on this side of the pond, but both outfits are well-known in their home country of Australia — and, it would seem, have very little in common. The Sleepy Jackson is an alternative-rock group from Perth, on the west coast of Australia, while Pnau is a dance-music duo from Sydney, on the east coast. But the two meet in the middle with Empire of the Sun, which comprises Sleepy Jackson frontman Luke Steele and Pnau producer Nick Littlemore. The livetronica that results is reminiscent of new wave: Slick and sophisticated, restrained and somber, quirky and wistful, it's entirely appropriate that the band is named after the J.G. Ballard novel that became Steven Spielberg's 1987 hit. Empire of the Sun will make its first-ever Colorado appearance, alongside a whole boatload of other electronic-friendly acts, at this year's Global Dance Festival.

One of the most rudest man ever!!!...I went in to get flowers for my daughters 1st party and the girl up front was nice but the man was such an a@& like I would never ever go back there even if my life depended on it!!
I ordered flowers for my grandmother from Van Veghel's when she was ill. They delivered the flowers quickly and made my grandmother feel so special when she answered the door. The flowers were beautiful and the entire family raved about the quality. (My grandfather even thought that the flowers were fake. :) ) I am so appreciative that Van Veghel's made my grandmother feel special. They definitely earned a few repeat customers from this family.
