Throughout these books, Follett has followed the fortunes of five intertwined families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they make their way through the twentieth century. Now they come to one of the most tumultuous eras of all: the enormous social, political, and economic turmoil of the 1960s through the 1980s, from civil rights, assassinations, mass political movements and Vietnam to the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis, presidential impeachment, revolution - and rock and roll.
Lila, homeless and alone after years of roaming the countryside, steps inside a small-town Iowa church - the only available shelter from the rain - and ignites a romance and a debate that will reshape her life.

Neglected as a toddler, Lila was rescued by Doll, a canny young drifter, and brought up by her in a hardscrabble childhood.
After five hectic years of retirement from Lord's Chapel, Father Tim Kavanagh returns with his wife, Cynthia, from a so-called pleasure trip to the land of his Irish ancestors. While glad to be at home in Mitford, something is definitely missing: a pulpit. But when he's offered one, he decides he doesn't want it. Maybe he's lost his passion. His adopted son, Dooley, wrestles with his own passion - for the beautiful and gifted Lace Turner, and his vision to become a successful country vet.
Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had. Reacher is there to meet - in person - the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But it isn't Turner behind the CO's desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about.

When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure's reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum's most valuable and dangerous jewel.

On their farm in Denby, Iowa, Rosanna and Walter Langdon abide by time-honored values that they pass on to their five wildly different children: from Frank, the handsome, willful first born, and Joe, whose love of animals and the land sustains him, to Claire, who earns a special place in her father's heart.

Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. Often the outcome of a case seems simple from the outside, the course of action to ensure a child's welfare obvious. But the law requires more rigor than mere pragmatism, and Fiona is expert in considering the sensitivities of culture and religion when handing down her verdicts.
Pirriwee Public's annual school Trivia Night has ended in a shocking riot. One parent is dead. The school principal is horrified. As police investigate what appears to have been a tragic accident, signs begin to indicate that this devastating death might have been cold-blooded murder. In this thought-provoking novel, number-one New York Times best-selling author Liane Moriarty deftly explores the reality of parenting and playground politics, ex-husbands and ex-wives, and fractured families.
The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.
It is 1922, and London is tense. Ex-servicemen are disillusioned; the out-of-work and the hungry are demanding change.

Freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond is barely out of his Quantico training when he and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street.

Two letters to the captives in Babylon; In the first, they are recommended to be patient and composed. (1-19) In the second, judgments are denounced against the false prophets who deceived them. (20-32)
Verses 1-7 The written word of God is as truly given by inspiration of God as his spoken word. The zealous servant of the Lord will use every means to profit those who are far off, as well as those who are near him. The art of writing is very profitable for this end; and by the art of printing it is rendered most beneficial for circulating the knowledge of the word of God. God's sending to the captives by this letter would show that he had not forsaken them, though he was displeased, and corrected them. If they live in the fear of God, they may live comfortably in Babylon. In all conditions of life, it is our wisdom and duty not to throw away the comfort of what we may have, because we have not all we would have. They are directed to seek the good of the country where they were captives. While the king of Babylon protected them, they must live quiet and peaceable lives under him, in all godliness and honesty; patiently leaving it to God to work deliverance for them in due time.
Verses 8-19 Let men beware how they call those prophets whom they choose after their own fancies, and how they consider their fancies and dreams to be revelations from God. False prophets flatter people in their sins, because they love to be flattered; and they speak smoothly to their prophets, that their prophets may speak smoothly to them. God promises that they should return after seventy years were accomplished. By this it appears, that the seventy years of the captivity are not to be reckoned from the last captivity, but the first. It will be the bringing to pass of God's good word to them. This shall form God's purposes. We often do not know our own minds, but the Lord is never at an uncertainty. We are sometimes ready to fear that God's designs are all against us; but as to his own people, even that which seems evil, is for good. He will give them, not the expectations of their fears, or the expectations of their fancies, but the expectations of their faith; the end he has promised, which will be the best for them. When the Lord pours out an especial spirit of prayer, it is a good sign that he is coming toward us in mercy. Promises are given to quicken and encourage prayer. He never said, Seek ye me in vain. Those who remained at Jerusalem would be utterly destroyed, notwithstanding what the false prophets said to the contrary. The reason has often been given, and it justifies the eternal ruin of impenitent sinners; Because they have not hearkened to my words; I called, but they refused.
Verses 20-32 Jeremiah foretells judgments upon the false prophets, who deceived the Jews in Babylon. Lying was bad; lying to the people of the Lord, to delude them into a false hope, was worse; but pretending to rest their own lies upon the God of truth, was worst of all. They flattered others in their sins, because they could not reprove them without condemning themselves. The most secret sins are known to God; and there is a day coming when he will bring to light all the hidden works of darkness. Shemaiah urges the priests to persecute Jeremiah. Their hearts are wretchedly hardened who justify doing mischief by having power to do it. They were in a miserable thraldom for mocking the messengers of the Lord, and misusing his prophets; yet in their distress they trespass still more against the Lord. Afflictions will not of themselves cure men of their sins, unless the grace of God works with them. Those who slight the blessings, deserve to lose the benefit of God's word, like Shemaiah. The accusations against many active Christians in all ages, amount to no more than this, that they earnestly counsel men to attend to their true interest and duties, and to wait for the performance of God's promises in his appointed way.
Jeremiah 29:1-32 . LETTER OF JEREMIAH TO THE CAPTIVES IN BABYLON, TO COUNTERACT THE ASSURANCES GIVEN BY THE FALSE PROPHETS OF A SPEEDY RESTORATION.
1. residue of the elders--those still surviving from the time when they were carried to Babylon with Jeconiah; the other elders of the captives had died by either a natural or a violent death.
2. queen--Nehushta, the queen mother, daughter of Elnathan ( 2 Kings 24:8 2 Kings 24:15 ). (Elnathan, her father, is perhaps the same as the one mentioned in Jeremiah 26:22 ). She reigned jointly with her son.
princes--All the men of authority were taken away lest they should organize a rebellion. Jeremiah wrote his letter while the calamity was still recent, to console the captives under it.
3. Zedekiah . . . sent unto Babylon--In Jeremiah 51:59 , Zedekiah himself goes to Babylon; here he sends ambassadors. Whatever was the object of the embassy, it shows that Zedekiah only reigned at the pleasure of the king of Babylon, who might have restored Jeconiah, had he pleased. Hence, Zedekiah permitted Jeremiah's letter to be sent, not only as being led by Hananiah's death to attach greater credit to the prophet's words, but also as the letter accorded with his own wish that the Jews should remain in Chaldea till Jeconiah's death.
Hilkiah--the high priest who found the book of the law in the house of the Lord, and showed it to "Shaphan" the scribe (the same Shaphan probably as here), who showed it to King Josiah ( 2 Kings 22:8 , &c.). The sons of Hilkiah and Shaphan inherited from their fathers some respect for sacred things. So in Jeremiah 36:25 , "Gemariah" interceded with King Jehoiakim that the prophet's roll should not be burned.
5. Build . . . houses--In opposition to the false prophets' suggestions, who told the captives that their captivity would soon cease, Jeremiah tells them that it will be of long duration, and that therefore they should build houses, as Babylon is to be for long their home.
6. that ye . . . be . . . not diminished--It was God's will that the seed of Abraham should not fail; thus consolation is given them, and the hope, though not of an immediate, yet of an ultimate, return.
7. ( Ezra 6:10 , Romans 13:1 , 1 Timothy 2:2 ). Not only bear the Babylonian yoke patiently, but pray for your masters, that is, while the captivity lasts. God's good time was to come when they were to pray for Babylon's downfall ( Jeremiah 51:35 , Psalms 137:8 ). They were not to forestall that time. True religion teaches patient submission, not sedition, even though the prince be an unbeliever. In all states of life let us not throw away the comfort we may have, because we have not all we would have. There is here a foretaste of gospel love towards enemies ( Matthew 5:44 ).
8. your dreams which ye caused to be dreamed--The Latin adage says, "The people wish to be deceived, so let them be deceived." Not mere credulity misleads men, but their own perverse "love of darkness rather than light." It was not priests who originated priestcraft, but the people's own morbid appetite to be deceived; for example, Aaron and the golden calf ( Exodus 32:1-4 ). So the Jews caused or made the prophets to tell them encouraging dreams ( Jeremiah 23:25 Jeremiah 23:26 , Ecclesiastes 5:7 , Zechariah 10:2 , John 3:19-21 ).
Jeremiah 25:12 , Daniel 9:2 ). This proves that the seventy years date from Jeconiah's captivity, not from the last captivity. The specification of time was to curb the impatience of the Jews lest they should hasten before God's time.11. I know--I alone; not the false prophets who know nothing of My purposes, though they pretend to know.
thoughts . . . I think--( Isaiah 55:9 ). Glancing at the Jews who had no "thoughts of peace," but only of "evil" (misfortune), because they could not conceive how deliverance could come to them. The moral malady of man is twofold--at one time vain confidence; then, when that is disappointed, despair. So the Jews first laughed at God's threats, confident that they should speedily return; then, when cast down from that confidence, they sank in inconsolable despondency.
expected end--literally, "end and expectation," that is, an end, and that such an end as you wish for. Two nouns joined by "and," standing for a noun and adjective. So in Jeremiah 36:27 , "the roll and the words," that is, the roll of words; Genesis 3:16 , "sorrow and conception," that is, sorrow in conception. Compare Proverbs 23:18 , where, as here "end" means "a happy issue."
12. Fulfilled ( Daniel 9:3 , &c.). When God designs mercy, He puts it into the hearts of His people to pray for the mercy designed. When such a spirit of prayer is poured out, it is a sure sign of coming mercy.
go--to the temple and other places of prayer: contrasted with their previous sloth as to going to seek God.
13. ( Leviticus 26:40-42 Leviticus 26:44 Leviticus 26:45 ).
14. to be found--( Psalms 32:6 , Isaiah 55:6 ).
turn . . . captivity--play upon sounds, shabti . . . shebith.
15. Because--referring not to the preceding words, but to Jeremiah 29:10 Jeremiah 29:11 , "Jehovah saith this to you" (that is, the prophecy of the continuance of the captivity seventy years), "because ye have said, The Lord hath raised us up prophets in Babylon," namely, foretelling our speedy deliverance (this their prophecy is supposed, not expressed; accordingly, Jeremiah 29:16-19 contradict this false hope again, Jeremiah 29:8 Jeremiah 29:9 Jeremiah 29:21 ). He, in this fifteenth verse, turns his address from the godly ( Jeremiah 29:12-14 ) to the ungodly listeners, to false prophets.
16. people . . . in this city . . . not gone forth--So far from your returning to Jerusalem soon, even your brethren still left dwelling there shall themselves also be cast into exile. He mentions "the throne of David," lest they should think that, because David's kingdom was to be perpetual, no severe, though temporary, chastisements could interpose ( Psalms 89:29-36 ).
17. vile figs--Hebrew, "horrible," or nauseous, from a root, "to regard with loathing" (see Jeremiah 24:8 Jeremiah 24:10 ).
18. removed to all . . . kingdoms--( Jeremiah 15:4 , Deuteronomy 28:25 ).
curse, &c.--( Jeremiah 29:6 , 18:16 , 19:8 ).
21. Zedekiah--brother of Zephaniah ( Jeremiah 29:25 ), both being sons of Maaseiah; probably of the same family as the false prophet under Ahab in Israel ( 1 Kings 22:11 1 Kings 22:24 ).
22. shall be taken . . . a curse--that is, a formula of imprecation.
Lord make thee like Zedekiah--(Compare Genesis 48:20 , Isaiah 65:15 ).
roasted in the fire--a Chaldean punishment ( Daniel 3:6 ).
23. villainy--literally, "sinful folly" ( Isaiah 32:6 ).
24-32. A second communication which Jeremiah sent to Babylon, after the messenger who carried his first letter had brought a letter from the false prophet Shemaiah to Zephaniah, &c., condemning Jeremiah and reproving the authorities for not having apprehended him.
Nehelamite--a name derived either from his father or from a place: alluding at the same time to the Hebrew meaning, "a dreamer" (compare Jeremiah 29:8 ).
25. in thy name--without sanction of "the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel," which words stand in antithesis to "thy name" ( John 5:43 ).
Zephaniah--the second priest, or substitute (Sagan) of the high priest. He was one of those sent to consult Jeremiah by Zedekiah ( Jeremiah 21:1 ). Slain by Nebuchadnezzar at the capture of Jerusalem ( 2 Kings 25:18-21 ). Zephaniah was in particular addressed, as being likely to take up against Jeremiah the prophet's prediction against his brother Zedekiah at Babylon ( Jeremiah 29:21 ). Zephaniah was to read it to the priests, and in the presence of all the people, in the temple.
26. thee . . . in the stead of Jehoiada--Zephaniah's promotion as second priest, owing to Jehoiada's being then in exile, was unexpected. Shemaiah thus accuses him of ingratitude towards God, who had so highly exalted him before his regular time.
ye should be officers . . . for every man--Ye should, as bearing rule like Jeremiah.
mad--Inspired prophets were often so called by the ungodly ( 2 Kings 9:11 , Acts 26:24 , Acts 2:13 Acts 2:15 Acts 2:17 Acts 2:18 ). Jeremiah is in this a type of Christ, against whom the same charge was brought ( John 10:20 ).
prison--rather, "the stocks"
stocks--from a root, "to confine"; hence rather, "a narrow dungeon." According to Deuteronomy 17:8 Deuteronomy 17:9 , the priest was judge in such cases, but had no right to put into the stocks; this right he had assumed to himself in the troubled state of the times.
27. of Anathoth--said contemptuously, as "Jesus of Nazareth."
maketh himself--as if God had not made him one, but he himself had done so.
28. Referring to Jeremiah's first letter to Babylon ( Jeremiah 29:5 ).
29. Zephaniah . . . read . . . in the ears of Jeremiah--He seems to have been less prejudiced against Jeremiah than the others; hence he reads the charge to the prophet, that he should not be condemned without a hearing. This accords with Shemaiah's imputation against Zephaniah for want of zeal against Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 29:26 Jeremiah 29:27 ). Hence the latter was chosen by King Zedekiah as one of the deputation to Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 21:1 , 37:3 ).
30. This resumes the thread of the sentence which began at Jeremiah 29:25 , but was left there not completed. Here, in this thirtieth verse, it is completed, not however in continuity, but by a new period. The same construction occurs in Romans 5:12-15 .
32. not . . . a man to dwell--( Deuteronomy 28:18 ).
not . . . behold the good--As he despised the lawful time and wished to return before the time God had expressly announced, in just retribution he should not share in the restoration from Babylon at all.
rebellion--going against God's revealed will as to the time ( Jeremiah 28:16 ).

It's a TC50PU54 which someone [ on AVS] translated into a TCP50U50.
Problem is, ST's are now history, and if you can find one the price is more than what I paid for mine new last year.
Well, that's a bummer.
Just looked at the specs for the TC50PU54 and they look OK. But the TCP50U50 looks like it has the same specs and it is much cheaper. See this Link.
Both look like they would be good. Remember the line that says "Costco extends the manufacturer's warranty to two years" only works if you buy it with an Amex card which will do the same thing no matter where you buy it. The only difference that I know of is Costco handles the Concierge Service for you. If you buy it somewhere else, you have to call the CS yourself the first year and Amex the second year. And Costco does have that 90 day return.

California Wildfire Restoration Initiative
History of the California Wildfire Restoration Initiative
In June 2008, TreePeople received a $1-million grant from The Boeing Company to launch a comprehensive California Wildfire Restoration Initiative in response to the wildfires that have ravaged areas of Los Angeles and other parts of Southern California in recent years. This generous donation was supplemented a short time later with a $1.5-million grant from The Walt Disney Company. Since then, other generous donors have stepped forward, including the Sempra Energy Foundation and actress/activist/entrepreneur Victoria Principal.
The Initiative is built around public/private partnerships and provides innovative approaches to forest restoration. Priorities include:
- Developing strategic partnerships with local, state and federal agencies
- The expansion of environmental education and fire safety programs for students and families
- Engaging the community in on-the-ground restoration
Over the next several years, the Initiative will train and support at least 7,500 volunteers to restore over 10,000 strategic acres, targeting forest and woodland areas that burned so intensely, they are unlikely to recover on their own and need human assistance.
Going beyond just planting trees, the Initiative seeks to restore the many functions of our mountain forests. These functions include capturing rainwater, providing habitats for wildlife, cleaning the air and flood and pollution prevention.
Thus far, TreePeople has worked in partnership with the San Bernardino National Forest Association (SBNFA), Mountains Restoration Trust and United States Forest Service on Southern California public lands impacted by past wildfires. These lands have included two national forests – the San Bernardino National Forest and the Angeles National Forest – along with the Santa Monica Mountains

According to the sheriff's report, the victim asked James Jackson, 35, for a ride but once she entered the vehicle, Jackson took her to an abandoned house off the highway.
Jackson pulled into the driveway of the deserted property and forced himself upon the victim instead of taking the victim to her desired destination.
Jackson was charged with rape and bond was set at $5,000.
He is still being held at the Bolivar County Correctional Facility.

Urban Decay At-A-Glance
Strengths: Workable options in almost every category; excellent cheek tint; bonanza for anyone who wants lots of shiny eyeshadows; good mattifier; bronzing powder; brow products; makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Mostly average to poor mascaras; limited foundation shades and some disappointing lip glosses; the products designed to help makeup last longer don't help.
From its unconventional beginnings in 1996 with the debut tagline of "Does Pink Make You Puke?" Urban Decay has been at the forefront of the ongoing trend toward unconventional colors. Their approach to beauty is still rooted in steering clear of the norm, but for those creative, unconventional folks who want the opportunity to express themselves with well-formulated, edgy products, this is the line to look to.
Now representing itself by the decidedly tamer "Beauty with an Edge" slogan, the line still offers several shiny options (which excel by virtue of how well they cling to skin), but the items that really deserve your attention include some of their mascaras, bronzing powder, blush, and brow products. The brush collection is highly recommended and priced on the low end when compared to other department-store lines, and Urban Decay counters (as opposed to Sephora stores, where the line is typically sold) offer helpful literature about how to design a complete makeup look. The colors may be unconventional and more clownish than classy, but their placement advice is right-on.
Shortcomings of this edgy line include the lack of lipsticks and some glittery products that apply terribly. Those who appreciate products that make a statement (though it may not always be one that puts you in your most flattering light) should explore the best of what is offered here, as should those whose makeup concepts occasionally lean toward the adventurous side.
For more information about Urban Decay, call (800) 784-URBAN or visit www.urbandecay.com.

Tuesday was a special day.
It was a day so unusual that we hadn't seen one like it in nearly 100 years. People in shorts did sprints along the lake shore. Cyclists ruled the roads. And young people spilled from schools with carefree ease.
It was the kind of bonus day that Chicagoans don't expect to see until March at the earliest. So it is not surprising that Hadiya Pendleton and her friends would have headed for the park just blocks away from King College Prep on the South Side after leaving school.
Yet for people who live in neighborhoods that have been under siege by ruthless armed gang-members, Tuesday was a time to worry and wait. For the family of Hadiya, the day brought the worst news imaginable.
Hadiya, 15, a King College Prep student, was fatally shot in the back, and a 16-year-old friend was wounded in the leg at 2:30 p.m. only blocks from what is supposed to be a safe haven for our children: a public school.
And once again, in the blink of an eye, another child has been taken away from us while that child is doing what all children should be able to do.
Hadiya was full of life.
She was a majorette for a celebrated dance team. As a volleyball player, Hadiya was engaged in the activities that are designed to keep young people safe and out of harm's way.
And she attended President Barack Obama's second inauguration just last week.
But like the 20 children who were killed in one fell swoop in Newtown, Hadiya became a victim of an armed assassin who took her life with reckless abandon.
According to witnesses, the yet unidentified shooter fired into the crowd of young people who had taken shelter under a canopy in the park, then drove away.
As is often the case, Hadiya was not the intended target.
She was just a 15-year-old girl who was living her life.
She was just a 15-year-old girl who had dreams of going to prom and to college.
She was just a 15-year-old girl who lived on the South Side of the city where many families live in Greystones and Brownstones and have not abandoned the city for suburbia.
She was just a 15-year-old girl who wanted to enjoy the miracle of a 60-degree day in January.
Hadiya was just a girl who wanted to enjoy the boundless possibilities of a life. That her life could be taken in such a ruthless and careless manner should make us all want to take to the streets.
The wanton act that took Hadiya from her family, from her classmates, from our city is as cold as the coldest day we could imagine.
And again, we ask: When is enough, enough.
Tuesday was a miraculous day for many. Yet for the people who live in neighborhoods under siege by gangs and reckless shooters, today was just another day to worry.

Black Friday weekend sales give retailers holiday momentum
BY DAVID ROEDER Business Reporter email@example.com November 25, 2012 2:52PM
Dina Shaw, during Black Friday shopping at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg Friday, November 23, 2012. l John H. White ~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: December 27, 2012 6:21AM
Call it Black Friday. Call it Cyber Monday. Or call it Thankless Thursday if you stood in line after turkey dinner for an item that was sold out.
For retailers, it's all part of the fourth-quarter rush that for many will decide if the year is profitable. Like a football team strategizing for the gridiron's fourth quarter, the merchants want to play to their strengths.
That means starting the promotional season early, bumping it up to early November in some cases. It means rolling out discounts at various times in the buildup to Christmas to keep people interested and coming back.
Some, such as Wal-Mart, are giving away gift cards with big-ticket items such as flatscreen TVs, hoping they'll induce patrons to return and ring up more sales before the whistle blows on 2012.
It's a way to take the Black Friday bustle and make it last. "To keep their customers excited about holiday shopping, retailers will continue to offer attractive promotions through December," said Matthew Shay, president and chief executive of the National Retail Federation.
Early indications were that the weekend gave retailers strong momentum, with much of the increasing spending online.
The retail federation estimated Sunday that 139.4 million adults visited stores and online retail sites in the United States during the Thursday-through-Sunday period, up 6 percent from 131 million last year. Counting repeat visitors, the federation estimated 247 million shoppers browsed and bought during the Black Friday period, vs. 226 million last year, a 9 percent increase.
The visits translated into spending estimated at $59.1 billion, or about $423 per shopper, up almost 13 percent from $52.4 billion during 2011's Thanksgiving weekend.
A survey for the federation by BIGinsight found that 41 percent of the shopping expenditures were made online, up from 38 percent a year ago.
As for the stores that violated the sanctity of Thanksgiving by opening late Thursday, evidence shows the move paid off, despite the criticism in some quarters. Shay said Thursday night shopping is becoming a part of the holiday, especially for younger people.
"The folks who opened early felt it was worth their while," said John Chikow, president and chief executive of the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association. Those preferring a traditional approach should shop at Nordstrom, he said. "They don't put their decorations up until the day after Thanksgiving," Chikow said.
The research firm comScore offered another take on the cyber customer, reporting that on Black Friday alone, online sales exceeded $1 billion for the first time and were up 26 percent from last year.
ComScore Chairman Gian Fulgoni said that while media concentrate on the mobs at traditional stores, "we continue to see this shopping day become more prominent in the e-commerce channel — particularly among those who prefer to avoid crowds at the stores."
For the season beginning Nov. 1, online spending was $13.7 billion through Friday, up 16 percent from a year ago, comScore said.
This year, one of the retail tricks was to offer the same discount price online and in stores, allowing some buyers to grab the goods without venturing into the cold. Free shipping sweetened the deal.
As Cyber Monday dawns, retailers will test offers not yet seen.
Amazon, for example, started the festivities at midnight Monday, advertising 60 percent off a 55-inch TV that usually goes for more than $1,000. Sears is offering a similar discount on a Maytag washer and dryer marked down to $399 each. Kmart is taking 75 percent off diamond earrings.

3 Black Ops 2 - ReviewedCBrand89 | 15/11/2012 | See all CBrand89's reviews (2)Treyarch promised us they were going to bring big changed to freshen up the franchise. Have they done enough to make this one good ?CAMPAIGN - The campaign takes place all over the world from the perspective of a few different characters which could become confusing if youre not paying attention. The story line is not as good as Black Ops 1 and it continues the usual stuff like over the top explosions and massive firefights. The campaign adds a few player choices which is a step in the right direction but it still feels too scripted and doesnt feel as if youre decisions will have any massive impact. Graphics remain unchanged and a few new weapons doesn't make up for that. Overall the campaign is average, its not the worst COD storyline ive ever played through but it certainly does not beat the plot for Black Ops 1.CAMPAIGN SCORE 6/10MULTIPLAYER - With the addition of new game modes, some different guns and a bunch of new maps nothing major has changed. Although they have added the "PICK 10" system which adds more personalization for selecting your loadout before matched which is good. Plus you can get rid of things you dont use like an extra grenade or a handgun etc. Apart from the pick 10 system its almost identical to previous COD games which isn't enough progress to warrent a new release in my opinion. Some of the futuristic weapons are fun but thats about it.MULTIPLAYER SCORE 7/10ZOMBIES - Zombie mode is probably the most entertaining as it brings back its amazing co-op survival mode. The addition of "transit" makes it very fun as youre on a boarded up bus keeping zombies away. The bus stops, you jump out to look for new weapons etc before having to run back to the bus so you dont get left behind. I've not spent enough time on zombie mode to give it a proper review but so far its been great.ZOMBIE MODE 9/10Overall Black Ops 2 been pretty much what i expected, a few new features to multiplayer, a new storyline, no graphics update and no huge changes make Black Ops 2 almost a copy and paste effort on what previous COD games were. That being said multiplayer is always competative and ranking up can still be fun, Zombies is a great laugh with friends or online but the campaign is below par in my opinion.OVERALL SCORE 7/10
1 Black Oops 2Lordy5906 | 26/11/2012 | See all Lordy5906's reviews (6)Welcome back Treyarch. Welcome back poor hit detection. Welcome back connection issues. Welcome back lag. Welcome back naff graphics. Welcome back campers. Wish I could welcome back my 42 quid.
1 Awful!Kidda10 | 19/11/2012 | See all Kidda10's reviews (2)If you didnt like Black Ops... you will not like this! Online graphics are poor. Too like being in a cartoon. Dialogue is cheesey! M P is made too easy by having too many perks. Its not user friendly! Both campign and M P are stone-wall BORING! Infinty Ward all the way!
4 VERY GOOD BUT STILL HAS THE PROBLEMS AS THE FIRST BLACK OPScenturion | 13/11/2012 | See all centurion's reviews (54)This is a really good game. The graphics are good, the game play is good you have the single player mode, zombie player mode and the multiplayer mode you get lots of maps to play in the multiplayer level. Its set in the near future and here is the down side the last black ops game had a habit of freezing in the multiplayer level and its happening with this game in the multiplayer mode.I went back and played the first black ops game nearly a year after i had bought it and it was still freezing in the multiplayer mode and it looks like they have not fixed the problem for this version. Thats why only 4 stars and not 5
5 Brilliant!funkytr | 04/01/2013 | See all funkytr's reviews (4)The best call of duty yet. Cant understand the negative reviews, I wonder if most of them have been left by Infinity Ward staff, considering the last game they made (Modern Warfare 3) was a total flop!Treyarch have done a fantastic job, the multiplayer is excellent, decent maps and different weapons. Not to mention Zombies which I am sure will get even better as the new maps are released. Music's quality aswel, gets you right in the mood, improved graphics (although the graphics could be abit better). Decent campaign mode aswel, well worth playing.I definetly won't be buying the COD games that Infinity Ward develop and release, after being let down so many times since COD 4!Well done Treyarch! Keep up the good work...

The 5B Series signal conditioning modules provide a low cost, high performance method of interconnecting real-world analog signals with data acquisition, process monitoring or control systems. They are designed to interface directly to analog inputs such as thermocouples, RTD's, strain gages, frequencies, potentiometers, slide wires, mV, V or process current signals. These inputs are converted into standardized, isolated analog outputs compatible with high-level analog I/O systems. An output module converts a high-level analog input to an isolated process current signal. All modules operate from a single, regulated +5 Vdc supply. A nonisolated voltage switch input module, Model AC1367, allows preconditioned input signals to be routed through a 5B backplane. A selection of four backplanes, three mounting sockets, three power supplies and a range of accessories complete the 5B Series and facilitate its integration in a system design. This guide contains configuration and ordering information for the 5B Series products. Three areas must be addressed when placing an order: module ranges, recommended accessories and system configuration. |
Module Ranges
Each 5B Series module is available in a variety of standard input/output ranges that are defined in each 2-page product section and are indicated by the suffix attached to the module number (e.g. 5B32-02 is a current input module with an input range of 0 mA to 20 mA and an output range of 0 V to + 5 V). Special 5B Series input module ranges can be ordered. For the voltage, frequency, RTD, thermocouple and potentiometer input modules, "custom" modules can be factory configured for nonstandard input and output ranges, including zero suppression and custom gains. To take advantage of the full range of your data acquisition system, modules can be configured for user specified input ranges. Custom modules are not available for the current output modules. To order, indicate the desired module type with a suffix of "-CUSTOM" as well as the desired input, output ranges and sensor type where applicable; for example, 5B34-CUSTOM, 100 ohm Pt RTD, 500°C to 600°C or 5B37-CUSTOM, TC type K, 0°C to 1150°C. Refer to the tables for assistance in selecting and ordering "-Custom" modules. There may be an additional charge and minimum order quantities for custom ranging. For more information on a particular 5B Series Module, choose the module from the list of Available 5B Series Modules. |
To ease the design process and to complete the 5B Series subsystem solution, various accessories and spare parts are available and should be ordered as separate items. For more information on a particular accessory, go to the Accessories page. |
System Design Considerations
The 5B Series modules are easily integrated into the system designers' circuit board or backplane. These functionally complete single-channel I/O signal conditioners are ready to be plugged in. Simply select and order the desired functions. The modules' 40 mil pins fit into widely available pin sockets such as AMP Inc.'s part number 645500-1. The modules are secured with self-contained, metric mounting screws and 3 mm inserts such as PEM's (Penn Engineering and Manufacturing Corp.) KFS2-M3. Cold junction temperature sensors - Model AC1361 - are available for thermocouple applications; and, although this sensor is only used by thermocouples, it can be installed in all channel locations allowing "mix-and match" capability applications that include thermocouples. Provision for the current conversion resistor that comes with each current input module must be made in all designs that may use current inputs. |
System Configuration
The 5B Series signal conditioning subsystem provides a complete solution to the sensor interface problem. Configuration consists of a backplane or mounting card, up to 16 mix and match, plug-in input and output modules, and an I/O cable. An external power supply is also required. When ordering a 5B Series subsystem, you will need to consider: module selection, backplane selection, power supply, system interconnection and rack mount kits. |
Module Selection
Configuring the subsystem will involve choosing the number and types of 5B Series Modules - RTDs, thermocouple, etc. - that the application requires. This includes specifying the standard range desired or the custom range required. For help in ordering custom ranged 5B Series modules, refer to the custom ranging tables for each model, shown in this ordering section. For more information on a particular 5B Series Module, choose the module from the list of available 5B series modules. Backplane or Mounting Card SelectionDepending upon the number of modules selected and on the type of system interface desired, the appropriate backplanes or mounting cards can be chosen. Available backplanes consist of 16-channel and 8-channel types, in either multiplexed (bussed) or independent channel configurations. Mounting cards are available in either single or 2-channel versions, and can be DIN rail mounted (using mounting systems compatible with Phoenix* DIN rail mounting systems - Models 5B03, 5B04 or AC1360) or panel mount using mounting standoffs provided (Model AC1360). For more information on the 5B Series Backplanes or Mounting Cards, go to the backplanes and mounting cards section. Power All backplanes and mounting cards require an external regulated +5 Vdc power supply. Typical input module powerconsumption is 0.15 W or 30 mA at +5 Vdc. Typical output module power requirement is 0.85 W or 170 mA at + 5 Vdc. The total power requirement of a subsystem must be calculated by summing the requirement of all modules. Chassis mounted +5 Vdc @ 1 A (Model 955) and +5 Vdc @ 5 A (Models 977 and PWR-01) regulated power supplies are available. When selecting alternative +5 Vdc power supplies, low output ripple and noise is a primary consideration. Additionally, over voltage protection should be provided to prevent the 5B Series power supply voltage from exceeding + 6.2 Vdc in the event of a power supply failure. For more information on the 5B Series Power Supplies, go to the power supplies section. |
System Interconnection
The 16-channel and 8-channel backplanes (Models 5B01, 5B02, 5B08 and 5B08-MUX) have 26-pin connectors for system interface. Model AC1315 is a 2' (60 cm), flat ribbon, 26-pin cable with two connectors. Model AC1324 is a universal adapter board with screw terminal outputs. For more information on Cables, go to the Cables section on the Accessories page. |
Rack Mounting
To mount the 5B01, 5B02, 5B08 or 5B08-MUX backplanes in a 19" panel space, the AC1363 rack mount kit should be ordered. Note that two 8-channel backplanes cannot be mounted in a single AC1363. The chassis mount power supplies (Model 955, 977 and PWR-01) can be mounted on the back of the rack mount kit. For more information on Rack Mount Kits, go to the Mounting Kits section on the Accessories Page. |
Configuration Example
A typical 5B Series subsystem application may consist of two millivolt input modules, two RTD temperature input modules that require custom ranging, four type K thermocouple input modules and two current output modules. This requirement could be satisfied with the units listed below.
A 5B Series User Manual is shipped with each 5B01, 5B02, 5B08 and 5B08-MUX backplane. Additional copies may be ordered as Model AC1364. *Phoenix Contact |

Joseph P. Messina
Nearly three years after he was attacked outside a Mokena bar, Eric Bartels' mother said he still can't see, speak or eat.
And though he can hear, she said he doesn't know that the man accused of throwing the punches that paralyzed him went on trial Monday before a Will County Circuit Court judge.
But Jan Bartels said she will be in court every day for the trial of Joseph P. Messina, 23, of New Lenox, who's charged with aggravated battery in the July 2009 attack on her son.
Prosecutors said the fight happened outside the 191 South bar after a brief discussion between Bartels and Messina.
Anna Minette, a former Frankfort resident and friend of Bartels, testified Monday that they were leaving the bar when she noticed that a man standing in front of her, Messina, had a spot on his shirt and she told him about it.
"He turned to me and said, 'Don't worry about it, it's just blood,' " Minette said.
She said Bartels told Messina he "should take care of that," and Messina then looked at Bartels and yelled at him, "It's gonna be your blood."
Minette said she felt uncomfortable, tried to push Bartels away and told a friend of Messina's "to please get his friend out of here." But then she heard a "loud, crack noise" behind her and saw Bartels lying on his back in the parking lot.
Bartels, who was 26 at the time, was taken to Silver Cross Hospital with a fractured skull and brain damage.
A Mokena police officer told Judge Sarah Jones that he arrived outside the bar and found Messina hiding in a white conversion van behind the driver's seat.
He said he had to threaten the driver with a stun gun to keep him from pulling away, had to point the stun gun to get Messina out of the van and had to subdue Messina on the ground after he ignored another order to get down.
Jan Bartels said nothing she heard during Monday's testimony surprised her.
"It wasn't that difficult for me in there," she said. "It's been difficult when I've seen my son almost dying."

June 30, 2013
Elegant, sexy and just amazing!
I ordered this dress for a party filled weekend at the last minute and was so anxious to receive. It was everything I had been looking for. I couldn't wait to try it on and OMG, it's fantastic. I have fabulous shoes to wear in silver w/rhinestones or a nude/gold type of heel that's also amazing. Thank you BEBE, the small fits me well and I feel so great in it.
June 12, 2013
I Love This Dress!!
I absolutely love this dress! The one shoulder & the side cutout are such simple details, but add a very unique & sexy touch to this dress. It's so comfortable too! It has just enough stretch to conform to your body, so the dress takes the shape of you rather than you having to take the shape of the dress. I love it!!!
June 11, 2013
I purchased in a black, size Small. All I can say is this dress is perfection! The small fits my frame true to size, and the cutout lends a racy edge to an already sexy dress. It fits really close to curves, and the material is very comfortable to wear. I was a little worried since I do have an ample chest of how that area would look, but there is enough material to cover without having to wear a bra. I am definitely wearing this to Vegas with my hair pulled back, Bebe colorblock gold/black earrings and gold/black heels. Can't wait!
June 8, 2013
Very sexy dress
BEBE! Your models do NOT do your amazing clothingi justice! You should have your gorgeous clients model these clothes--this dress is sooo sexy! Amazing fit, unique, cut outs in all the right places. I highly recommend the dress. This dress is definitely for going out, not to wear to a work party or to your bf's parent's house.
Love it!

Local representatives, at both the municipal and legislative levels, have been lobbying hard to reverse the decision.
"I wish I had better news," said Sen. Willie Simmons, who has met multiple times with the commissioner. "I haven't been able to get him or the governor to change their mind about it."
Epps announced in April that he would be closing four of the MDOC's 17 community work centers across the state.
The centers typically house between 75-100 inmates, booked on lighter offenses, who work at county facilities and assist city public work departments by cutting grass, picking up trash, performing janitorial work and helping at local schools.
"A budget shortfall and fewer non-violent inmates eligible to be housed at community work centers are the reasons for the decision," said Epps in a press release. "Closing these four facilities will save taxpayers about $2.3 million."
Local leaders are more concerned about the impact the closure will have on Bolivar County.
"Really, this has become a local fight against the state," said Simmons. "I have not found any local officials who think this is the proper thing to do."
Simmons was one of the founding committee members more than 20 years ago who traveled the state to convince communities of the program's municipal benefits.
"On a personal level, I'm feeling more of a loss than most right now," he said. "These programs have proven to be safe and help communities. They are not closing because they are a failure — they are a success story.
"It's painful to see it go."
Rep. Tommy Taylor has also been meeting with leaders in Jackson in hopes of reversing Epps's decision.
"We're really trying to get this overturned," said Taylor. "Unfortunately we can't tell the commissioner or governor what to do, but we're trying to convince them that we need these workers.
"Personally, I think it could be worked out. People in the Delta are very concerned."
Bolivar County Board of Supervisors President Andrew Williams said the move would be a big blow locally, as the workers help with jobs that municipalities wouldn't otherwise be able to afford.
"The labor they provide probably saves the county about $2.5 million in wages," Williams said in a previous Bolivar Commercial story. "They do the labor and the jobs that nobody has the budget to pay for.
"We're talking about some of them who are really skilled workers."
Simmons explained his frustration with some of Bryant's rulings related to state corrections.
"The governor from day one has taken difficult positions on corrections," said Simmons. "His shift in policy will have a harmful long-term impact on us.
"I think its bad policy to shut down programs like the Community Work Centers — it doesn't send a good message.
"The question now is what becomes of the labor not in the budget for each community."
Simmons said the labor is also beneficial to the offenders, who despite their sentences, are preforming and practicing meaningful skilled work.
Cleveland Public Works Director Ray Bell said at last week's city board meeting that inmates from the work center are dwindling as they are released from their sentences or moved.
He said he might be able to a few eligible inmates from the regional correctional facility but loss of the inmates will cost the city a great deal of money.
MDOC will also close Yazoo County Community Work Center in Yazoo City, Jefferson County Community Work Center in Fayette and George County Community Work Center in Lucedale.

On average DISH normally clears around $5 per month per subscriber.
Profit divided by months divided by subscribers.Sorry don't buy that! Back up that statement.
For 2Q 12* that would be $226 million divided by 14.06 million divided by 3.
$5.35 per month per subscriber.
(3Q 12 was the only quarter DISH posted a loss since 2003, so I skipped that for the math. 2010 was a abnormal year, but the averages for 2009 $5.81, 2008 $3.76, 2007 $5.50, 2006 $4.57, 2005 $3.87 - DISH does not make much on a per month per subscriber basis.)
Totaling up what it would cost YOU to have DISH for two years does not reflect what it would cost DISH to have you for two years. Take away the average cost of having customers (running the company, paying the channel providers, etc) and there is not a lot of margin.

What did I take away from the 2011 All Star Game?
Justin and Jessica are having issues. On-again-off-again is off right now. So much for them eating tacos together, TMZ et al. He was acting psycho.
(Note lame Fan Cave promos everywhere.)
Seriously, I was hoping he'd at least have a snappy outfit in the Bad Clothing Center of the Play aka the All Star Game, but no such luck. His hat was nearly as terrible as that shirt. Anyways, he's now confirmed he's a Dodger fan, so my Timberlake moment is over. Flashing lights and all.
The game itself was kind of boring, except for Ogando and Gio pitching back to back. That was fun. But even when Wilson came in, the drama felt 100% manufactured. I didn't know who to root for, because I can't decide how I feel about home field advantage and also because I actually liked more people on the AL squad, because the Giants don't really play them so I have fewer negative memories of them hitting homers off us or whatever. You know. So I rooted for individuals and mostly just enjoyed all the players smiling at each other. That's so cute.
So I figure now that's all over, I should do some mid-season awards. Here we go:
First Half MLB Awards
Most Improved Hair: Michael Young
As previously discussed, the haircut goes a long way to making Michael look less like an evil blackmailer of Jon Daniels. I'm liking him quite a lot right now.
Most Improved Facial Hair: Barry Zito
I hated the 'stache from moment 1. The silver lining to Barry's injury was that the superstitious baseball player that he is, he shaved it off. And has come back lookin' and pitchin' better than ever.
Most Worsened Facial Hair: Prince Fielder
This goes out to Wilson too: beards like that make you look homeless. Not to mention 10+ years older. Bad idea all around.
Best GM: Theo Epstein
First everyone thought the Sox were going to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then everyone thought they were going to be a total bust. I think we're back to the greatest thing since sliced bread stage now.
Giant MVP: Nate Schierholtz
'Nuff said, Giants fans.
Moment That Doug Melvin Outed Himself as a Shopaholic: Ryan Braun's Extension
I just can't get it out of my head that they're paying him through 2030. Who knew that Doug and Rebecca Bloomwood are kindred spirits?
Best Brandon Moment: Tie between Brandon Crawford's Homer in Debut and Brandon Belt's Opening Day Call-Up
Our Brandons have made for some pretty great moments this year.
Worst Brandon Moment: Brandon Phillips Hit Which Resulted in Freddy Going Down
Other people's Brandons? Not so much.
So what are you awards and strongest memories from this 2011 first half? Tell me, just because there's been no real baseball for days and I am going through withdrawal. Thanks.
Diamond Girl
