TUCSON - Move over Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it's 'Giving Tuesday'.
Now that we've made it through the biggest shopping days of the year, a national campaign fueled by social media is urging local organizations to take the day's focus from holiday shopping to giving back to the community.
A Golden Eagle was found in the desert, just inches from death, unable to fly and dehydrated. He's been at the Tucson Wildlife Center since October. This eagle is just one of hundreds of animals nursed back to health every year at this animal rehab center.
However, the cost of caring for these animals is huge, costing about $600 per day to run the center and care for all the animals.
The Wildlife Center is just one local organization that's hoping that folks will take a break from busting their wallets on holiday deals and open up their pocketbooks on "Giving Tuesday" to help out and make a donation to a charity trying to improve lives.
"We're familiar with Black Friday, we're familiar with Cyber Monday and now we have a 'Giving Tuesday'," said Sheila Chonis of the Tucson Wildlife Center.
The center is operated off charitable donations and the animals are cared for entirely by volunteers.
While they have already received an anonymous $10,000 donation, they're hoping to match that amount with the "Giving Tuesday" trend.
"Many people are focused on giving and people who can't come and volunteer on a regular basis, that's one they can way they can help," said Joan Cass, a volunteer at the center. "A lot of people just want to know what they can do.

I have insurance, but did not elect vision coverage. My doctor is going to be starting me on a medicine that requires an eye test beforehand. I called today and the price without insurance is $89.00. That sure seems high to me! What do you pay for your eye exams? Just needing to know if this is the average cost these days or the quote is way above average. Thanks!
that's about what I paid for a routine eye exam. I was shocked, too, as a couple years prior I had paid somewhere around $40.
We just paid $35 in El Paso, TX. It was at a Costco eye place...the office is adjacent to the store. GREAT service!
$50 here
It depends on the exam. Walmart offers an eye exam for $39.00, but that just tests your vision to see if you need glasses. If you want a good exam where they dialate and look inside your eyes, then $80-120 is the norm. I pay $95.00 and get a very thorough exam for that price.
My DH has an app't tomorrow and it's $44, we have insurance but it's between times that they will pay.
Instructions for using the ignore feature- go to "User CP" go down the list on the left, click on "Edit Ignore List" add people you think are mean. Presto! Your sensitive soul is now safe.
There's a chain of places that has a location near me....http://www.twopair.com/ For $69.95 you get an exam and 2 pair of glasses...this does not include specialty lenses ( tint...progressives..bifocals etc. )
SuzyHomemaker rtfmfarm.com LaMancha & Nubian goats
My daughter went to America's Best (twopair.com). After the exam, they told her it would be $280 at the cheapest!!! She's a student and had $200 to make it to the end of March. She had to pay about $85 for just the exam and didn't get any glasses We had used them before a couple of years ago and knew they never actually came through on the $69.95, but that was a major rip-off! And they really got mad about giving her the prescription and would not write down her pupillary distance.
$280 here for a new patient at the clinic we use for my son for an opthomologist. The local place for just an optomotrist is around $125.
When I got my eyes checked at Costco with dilation and a glaucoma check it was $60...they would not bill insurance you had to get that done yourself.
Give Blood it saves lives.
That is very reasonable. Last time I had mine checked and got glasss it was almost $800....
Well, I guess it does seem then more like an average price for an opthomologist. I was really surprised though when she said $89.00, as I was figuring it would be $45 to $50. I am not getting glasses. I am going to be starting the medication Plaquenil and need to have a starting base to compare to while I am on the medication. I think you get your eyes checked every 6 months. This doctor also diagnoses and treats eye diseases. Thanks for your replies! I feel a bit better about it now knowing that some of you pay around the same amount.
Do you have any America's Best in your area? Last summer I got glasses/contacts for the first time and they were pretty cheap. You get your eye exam, and up to 2 pairs of glasses for just under $70. If you join their eye care club you get a free exam per year with a 3 or 5 year plan. This is what I paid and I don't have insurance.
That sounds reasonable for an opthamologist (specializes in eye health.) An optometrist exam is going to be cheaper.
I had the very same test ran last week for the very same reason! My regular exam was 90$, and the ADDITIONAL test for the Plaquenil was $60.
Stephanie Wife, Mom to 4 ( 2 in Tn, 2 in Gloryland), caretaker of chickens, rabbits, kittys, 2 dogs, 2 milk goats, 2 jersey cows, and 1 messy house
Yes that sounds about right.. our's are $90 each. very hard to give that up sometimes, and that doesn't include frame and new lens if needed
My wife works for a Eye Dr and she said they charge $69 for a basic test, special test adds more to the price up to $100 with out copay. If you have insurance then test re less.
We have insurance so its only $10, however the Ophthalmologist charges $159 for a full exam. Being DW and I are both diabetic we need the full exam, not just the cheapo one you can get anywhere.

KOLKATA: Rebel Trinamool Congress MP Kabir Suman is not going to break party discipline. Suman will make himself available in Kolkata, along with other Trinamool MPs, on the day of the presidential polls on July 19, as he has been asked by the party general secretary Mukul Roy.
But unlike Mamata, who is keeping her cards close to her chest, Suman has made up his mind. He will be voting for UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee even if the party decides otherwise. Suman is aware that the party whip doesn't apply in the presidential polls.
A few days back, the Trinamool MP received a letter from the party general secretary asking him to be present in the West Bengal assembly at the specified time. A form was attached to the letter. "I needed to fill in the form to vote for the presidential polls in the assembly instead of the Parliament. I signed on the designated places, expressing my choice to be present along with other MPs on that day for the voting and sent it back to Roy. After all, I am still a partyman and will follow the party discipline and reach the assembly on time," the rebel Trinamool MP said. When asked whether he will exercise his choice if his party decides otherwise, Suman said: "It is my choice. I will go ahead and vote."
Suman also stuck to his earlier stance that he would vote for UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee and saw no reason to go back on his earlier announcement. "I am firm in my decision. I will vote for Pranab babu, even if my party supports someone else. He is my choice and I will go ahead and register it. I won't be dictated on occasions where dictates do not apply," Suman said.
Since he has made up his mind, the rebel Trinamool Congress MP has decided to stay away from the meeting of the Trinamool MLAs and MPs on the presidential polls. "There is no reason why I should go to this meeting. I have always been treated with disdain. I prefer to stay away from all such party gatherings," Suman said in anger. His defiance goes back to the time when Operation Green Hunt started in 2010. Suman had planned to stage a dharna outside the Parliament demanding the withdrawal of the joint forces.
"Mamata Banerjee wrote to me at that time, requesting me to desist from staging the dharna. She assured me that she would meet me along with the other MPs and look for a solution. But to this day, that hasn't happened. I have a background in people's movement, naturally I feel cheated," Suman said.
He asserted that he does not have a background of party politics and it was on Mamata Banerjee's request, that he had contested the 2009 Lok Sabha polls. "I thought that I will be able to do some good for the people, if I become an MP. I have tried my best to do that. However, I cannot agree with many things that Mamata Banerjee now professes. So, I make my stand clear every time. However, I cannot deny that I am still a part of the Trinamool Congress."

Mum's the Word at Time Warner
"That forecast is for Time Warner as we know it today," said Parsons on the conference call. "It applies to the current long-term plan, including the cable business."
For the third quarter, Time Warner's net income fell to $1.09 billion, or 30 cents a share, from $2.32 billion, or 57 cents a share, a year earlier, when results included gains from asset sales and tax-related items.
Earnings from continuing operations were 24 cents a share in the latest quarter, matching Thomson Financial's average analyst estimate. The company earned 19 cents a share on a comparable basis a year ago.
Its revenue rose 9% for the quarter to $11.68 billion from last year's $10.75 billion. That beat expectations for revenue of $11.36 billion.
Shares of the media colossus were recently down 3 cents, or 0.2%, to $18.30. Time Warner Cable (TWC), which was partially spun off early this year in an IPO, posted a 28% jump in profits, thanks to new subscribers coming from bankrupt Adelphia Communications and growth of its triple-play offering, which includes digital cable, phone and broadband Internet access. Its revenue rose 25% to $4 billion.Time Warner saw the biggest revenue growth at its filmed entertainment division, where the top line jumped 33% to $3.18 billion. Adjusted earnings from its film businesses, consisting of the New Line and Warner Bros. studios, jumped 71% to $359 million thanks to the latest Harry Potter flick, Ocean's 13 and Hairspray.

5 Barnes! Barnes!stevie31 | 21/06/2011 | See all stevie31's reviews (39)This is a cracking film protraying what life might have been like in the vietam war! The actors here William Dafoe as sgt elias and Tom Berenger as staff serg barnes is brillant! Elias as the water walker peace in one hand and war in the other and barnes as the lunatic,these 2 characters along tell platoon! The storyline simple about young private taylor (sheen) tellin his story to his grandma and what a story,the action and war scenes can be very graphic but its enjoyable! The blu-ray transfer is nothing short than fantastic the colours is so rich and vivd and clear,the battle scenes stay grainy to make the explosions look great and the sound is blu-ray 5.1 stop on! Buy and enjoy.
5 Shocking Tale of the Vietnam WarDavidWellens | 06/06/2011 | See all DavidWellens's reviews (8)Platoon is the gripping story of young college drop-out Chris Taylor (Sheen), who felt there was something missing in his life. Signing up for Vietnam duty, Taylor soon comes face to face with the horrors of war.Trying to maintain his calm at first, it soon becomes clear he is unable to stop his own descent into madness."The first casualty of war is innocence". No doubt this reflected Taylor, more so than anyone else. Seeing him slide down, losing self control, and turning into the mentally unstable soldiers he loathed himself, turns your stomach in a knot.Willem Dafoe, as Sgt. Elias, acts as a mentor to young Taylor, keeping him on the right track. As the vietcong advance their attack, the American army soon loses ground, and suffers heavy casualties, resulting in Taylor's collapse.Oliver Stone, who enjoyed working with Charlie Sheen around that time, made Wall Street the next year, recalling Sheen to do so. But nowhere else did Sheen come close to what he did for Platoon. The role of his career, no doubt. A true classic, and a must-have.
5 PlatoonZlyPorucznik | 15/05/2011 | See all ZlyPorucznik's reviews (1)Best film about the vietnam war.You must have it.5 stars!!!!
4 Very DarkSkyd82AVFC | 12/05/2011 | See all Skyd82AVFC's reviews (1)The first and best of Stone's Vietnam trilogy, it's also one of his finest pieces of work
5 oliver stone's best film.tyronefordham | 22/12/2011 | See all tyronefordham's reviews (47)a brusingly intense take on the vietnam war. oliver stone's epic platoon secured his reputation as a director who refuses to shy away from controversy. an idealistic young man (sheen) volunteers for the infantry and is sent to vietnam. when he gets there he discovers a brutal war being fought by brutal people, but soon develops a rewarding camaraderie with his fellow grunts (soldiers), however, the company becomes divided between two sergeants, who represent two different approaches to the war there's the honourable good guy (dafoe), who believes that the americans are there to protect the vietnamese, and the murderous bad guy (berenger), who ruthlessly commits atrocities. a no holds barred look at warfare, this was, and still is, a controversial view of usa's involvement in vietnam, and a film that burns itself into the memory. brilliant blu-ray quality.

"I love the way these cards turned out. The colors are quite vibrant, and I find the design itself quite classy with a touch of whimsy. The paper quality is really nice, although a few of the card edges did get bent in the packaging which was a bit disappointing. Overall very happy with the cards!"
"I had ordered cards from another company, and was so dissapointed in the quality. Not with Tiny Prints.This card is sturdy (corners don't fray or bend) color is brilliant, and it has impressive quality. It is small, but I have received several compliments on the unique size and style. I love it!"
"I designed a business card using photos of my work. The online design process is relatively easy, although the view varies from device to device (my iPad had better images than my laptop). The option to see a proof and update the product is very helpful, and the person providing prrofs was very responsive. I also like the option of up to three updates (I'd missed an error in my email address, it was easily fixed)."
"When these business cards I arrived, I was thoroughly delighted with the design and quality. They are top notch, classy, and something I will feel proud to hand out to people. I'm completely delighted!"
"I ordered the clear perfection design business cards. - The design was easy to use. - The print quality was excellent. - The shipping was very fast. - The layout design of the card looks professional. - It allowed me to show my own sense of design by letting me add a photo and zoom in for cropping for the best placement of the photo."

TAL International Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results And Declares $0.52 Quarterly Dividend
TAL International Group, Inc. (NYSE: TAL), one of the world's largest lessors of intermodal freight containers and chassis, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.
- TAL reported Adjusted pre-tax income of $1.56 per fully diluted share for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of approximately 2% from the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of nearly 70% from the third quarter of 2010. TAL focuses on its adjusted pre-tax results since it does not currently pay any material cash taxes and does not expect that it will for the next several years.
- TAL reported leasing revenues of $120.9 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 13.5% from the second quarter of 2011 and an increase of 41.1% from the third quarter of 2010.
- TAL has continued to invest heavily in equipment during 2011. As of October 26, 2011, TAL has invested over $750 million in new container purchases or sale-leaseback transactions. Approximately 85% of this equipment (together with TAL's beginning inventory of uncommitted factory units as of January 1, 2011) is either on-hire or committed to lease transactions.
- TAL announced a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per share payable on December 22, 2011 to shareholders of record as of December 1, 2011.
Adjusted pre-tax income (1), excluding gains and losses on interest rate swaps and the write-off of deferred financing costs, was $52.3 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $51.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $28.6 million in the third quarter of 2010. Adjusted pre-tax income per fully diluted common share was $1.56 in the third quarter of 2011 versus $1.53 in the second quarter of 2011, and $0.93 in the third quarter of 2010. The Company focuses on adjusted pre-tax results since it considers gains and losses on interest rate swaps and the write-off of deferred financing costs to be unrelated to operating performance and since it does not expect to pay any significant income taxes for a number of years due to the availability of accelerated tax depreciation on its existing container fleet and planned future equipment purchases.

High Quality AA and AF
Our high quality tests let us separate the men from the boys and the ladies from the girls. If the cards weren't struggling before they will start to now.
Far Cry 2
NVIDIA shines in AA, there's no denying that and it's going to be a strong selling point to people. In the average department, though, the HD 5970 is significantly faster for some reason. Of course, it's the least important of the two numbers. In the minimum dept. the GTX 480 manages to beat out the dual GPU beasts from ATI.
Resident Evil 5
In saying that, AA doesn't always shine for NVIDIA when compared to the HD 5970. You can clearly see the HD 5970 TOXIC 4GB from Sapphire is putting out some devastating numbers here.
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
With no minimum we want to see an average of 60 FPS. You can see that the GTX 480 and reference HD 5870 are actually spot on at 64 FPS. Again, though, like we mentioned earlier this is the minimum of what we want to see. At this level the extra FPS is noticeable. Sapphire come in, pulling out their paddle and start spanking everything with a 50% gain over the reference GTX 480 and HD 5970.

Will Universal's Campaign Against User-Generated Content Lead Us Back To Sony?
By Anthony Falzone • December 6, 2006 at 3:39 pm
Universal Music has begun to go after user-generated content sites in a big way. In October, Universal sued video-sharing sites Bolt and Grouper, alleging that each is liable for the posting of copyrighted material by users. Recently, Universal filed suit against a much bigger (and richer) opponent, MySpace, on the same theory. (A copy of the complaint will be available here shortly.)
Most of the discussion about these suits has centered around whether the Digital Millenium Copyright Act ("DMCA") will protect the defendants from liability. It provides a "safe harbor" for online service providers ("OSP's") who lack actual notice of copyright violations so long as they take down infringing material upon actual notice of it from the copyright owner. See 17 U.S.C. 512(c).
But there is trouble lurking. An OSP that has the ability to control infringing conduct can't take advantage of the safe harbor if it profits directly from the infringement. See 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(1)(B). Enter contextual advertising. It keys ads to the content the user seeks and sees. If MySpace earns revenue from contextual ads that show up alongside a pirated U2 video precisely because I searched for U2, it would seem MySpace is profiting directly from the infringing material.

Making Use of Google Analytics' User Flow and Behavior Flow
One of the core ways that blogs create business is to get users to go through a sales process that goes something like this:
- User reads an article and finds it amazingly helpful. That user leaves a comment.
- The user sees a link to another intriguing article, so she clicks through.
- She loves the content so much that when she sees the opportunity to sign up for the newsletter, she can't resist.
That process doesn't always happen on the first visit, if at all, but Google Analytics offers us the opportunity to examine users' behavior to follow the path they use when on the site.

Planning a wedding is an extraordinary team effort. In fact, the average wedding has 43 different vendors. That's a pretty big team. How can you tell if a vendor is the right fit for you? In addition to the obvious (LGBT-friendliness), pay attention to the following things when you're meeting with them:
- Does the vendor listen more than talk?
- Does he or she seem flexible or rigid?
- Does he or she support your ideas or shoot down your ideas?
- Your gut instinct. Do you just click?

I quite like this mascara. First off i'd like to say after trying Rimmel's Scandal eyes I was very un-impressed and very sceptical to try any other rimmel mascaras but I decided to bite the bullet and try this one. I was pleasantly surprised by this mascara. The consistency of the actual mascara is perfect for me it's thick but not too gloopy. I really love the brush it's very unique and the brush is a good dupe for the fairy drops mascara. Due to the 3 plumps on the brush its very easy to get in to the inner corners of my lashes which is a plus because it gives me a more full look. I love the shape of the packaging it looks very differnt to the typical drugstore mascaras; and the shiny purple packaging caught my eye instantly. The mascara holds a curl very well, gives a bit of length but not much for volume. The price was decent, I paid £8.19 for mine at superdrug. It's now one of my favourites but not at my HG status.
I am extremely disappointed with this product. I just purchased it today, tried it out once I got home, and hate it so much that I had to come write this review. First of all, the picture of the brush on the package is VERY deceiving as the actual brush is nothing like it. This mascara does absolutely nothing for your lashes except for giving clumps and spider looking lashes. Hopefully I'm able to return it.
I would give this a 5 but it lacks just a tiny bit of my HG expectations. The first reason I love this mascara is because it makes my lashes really long, longer than any other mascara has ever made them (and I've tried dozens!). It really holds a curl beautifully. I def would not recommend applying more than 2 coats because it will get clumpy. With 2 coats I get really long and curled doll like eyelashes! The only thing which is slightly lacking is the volume aspect of it. This gives me about 85% of the volume I want. With maybe that 15% more volume this would be HG status for me! I will def repurchase and I already go around telling everyone to get rimmel sexy curves bc they always compliment me when I use this mascara!

This was my first mascara and it was alright. The best part about it was it is very black! but i hate that it flakes i feel like when i wear it i constantly have to go to a mirror and remove the flakes with can be really inconvient. This is a great mascara for beginners though because the brush is very easy to handle and it isn't that dramatic but it can be it you want it to be. I wouldn't buy it again because i know there's better out there but it is a fairly decent product.
I really love this mascara because it actually does what it says, it did make my lashes curl without having to use an eyelash curler, but despite that it lacks other components that I'm looking for like length,volume etc....... this mascara did lengthen my lashes well but it's not as good as my falsies and the wand just didnt volumize my lashes but it kinda gave that spidery effect, and also the formula is too dry I have to apply like 5 coats to get anything , but I think it's just the wand because it's plastic not those original bristles that pack more product. Other than that this mascara would be perfect .
For reference: I have short, thick, light blonde eyelashes that can hold a curl
-Dark black color
-slightly curls eyelashes
-my eyelashes looked thick and long
-cheap ($10 US)
-cute purple packaging
-Lasts a long time
-easy to remove
-Flakes after 5-6 hours
-smudges with the tiniest amount of water
-slightly clumpy
-hard to find in Australia
Overall this is a pretty good mascara but for me the cons outweigh the pros and I would not repurchase.
Sexy Curves is undoubtedly an excellent mascara, but I've decided to keep searching for my HG mascara. I tend to lean toward lengthening mascaras, since my eyelashes are on the long side for an Asian, yet they aren't the full, thick, long and lush fan of lashes I would like. I don't need any curling properties, I don't curl my eyelashes. Curlingness is just a bonus.
Sexy Curves gives a fair bit of volume, and some curl. Not that much length, meaning that the search is still on.
For those looking for a mascara tha will give a little volume and curl, try Sexy Curves. For gals like me, who care for length, keep searching!
Note: Love the brush- it is so cool! Kind of like the fairydrops one...

Sexy Curves is definitely one of my HG mascaras
I love it. I tried it last week before going out with a friend & immediately decided it was going to be one of my favorite drugstore mascaras. It is definitely one of my favorite drugstore mascaras. The curl & volume this gives is amazing; I'll actually use this before some of my higher-end ones. However, it is really easy to over-apply & it does get clumpy & "spidery" if you put too much on. If you apply it nicely, your eyelashes will POP.
The want is weirdit's long & thin with three balls are the end, which give the curl. I was a little hard for me to get used to because I felt like the makeup wasn't being distributed on my lashes at one time or evenly because the balls are a lot closer than the dips. The price is basically the same as most other drugstore mascaras (around $7), but I almost always see it on sale at Walgreens which is where I purchased both of my tubes. The packaging is nice; its sleek, metallic purple tube is attention-getting & really pretty.
This is the perfect mascara for big, dramatic, "sexy, curvy" eyelashes.
I guess I should start saying that my lashes, actually, don't need much of a great mascara, let me explain: medium to high volume, dark haired, long lashes. A swirl of curler and they pop. I do not have the greatest lashes ever, but at the same time I don't have many problems with them. So this is when I find Rimmel's "Sexy Curves" and stopped using my HG, Dior's "Diorshow Extase". I don't get the same results with both, don't get me wrong, Rimmel's one is much more clumpier and leaves a less "clean" result, it dries harder...but, the price difference, for me, was huge and the results I get with "Sexy Curves" are actually quite good: it makes my lashes longer, darker, and very curvy, actually, it holds the curl all day giving my lashes a very femenine and delicate look as I tend to apply mascara and curl my lashes to the outsides, giving them a slight curvature which accentuates my almond-shape eye. This mascara is perfect for that, as it gives that more thick lashes on the roots and long, thinner tips look, but...here's the downside: not that much volume here. This makes lashes very long, but nearly just very long, leaving them quite separate. I like this for my everyday look, but I use some other thing, or I combine it with other product when I want full, big lashes (but keep in mind that this, on me, does not look natural or anything similar, actually it looks very fake; with "Sexy Curves" I get noticeable lashes, just not as an obvious "I sport mascara straight in your face!" look). I'd say this won't work as well with sparse, flat lashes, but at least with long lashes that get enough curl with an eyelash curler, the results are actually good. You have to work the brush through the lashes and be careful as in my experience, it may accumulate and stick some lashes together, but this is easy avoidable. So, if you are okay with not that much volume but long, dark and curvy and a little more than natural lashes, want something cheap and your lashes have somewhat of curl, this is pretty good in comparison with other mascaras in the same range.
