I just bought the new Sony Internet TV. Connection issues have been numerous. Our current connection is only bringing in the internet service; how do I get the live TV to operate. We have the standard comcast box for the digital transition you recently implemented. Thank you for your assistance.
The Sony and the Logitech Google TV boxes are intended for use with a HD digital set top box and will not work with a DTA.
You need a full HD set top box with HDMI and a HDTV with HDMI connections and HD service from Comcast.
12-27-2011 07:06 PM - edited 12-27-2011 07:07 PM
Thanks for the info. Does Comcast provide the full HD Digital Set top box with HDMI connections? If so, how do I get one? The TV has HDTV with HDMI connections and I have HD service with you (Xfinity).
Stop by your local Comcast office, if your swapping equipment take the old box and remote with.
Sometims around the holidays there is a shortage of HDMI boxes, check with the local office people in person for what they have in stock.
Thanks, hopefully this will work. Sounds good. I'll stop by my local Comcast Office to get the new box. I appreciate your timely response. Happy New Year
You can still use a Comcast SD Cable box with your new Sony Bravia.
Run the coax from the Comcast Cable box, to the coax/antenna port on the back of the TV. Let the TV scan for channels (should really only find one, normally channel 3). Use your Cable Box remote to change channels.
You will not get HD image quality, just versions of of blown up/or stretched SD TV, but actually not that bad.
But, as other have said, if you can get hold of an HDMI box, the better. Also, you need to subscribe to HD TV from Comcast.
When all said and done, use your (now liberated) Coax/antenna port to pull down some true HD (and free) over the air broadcasts.
If you have a Smaprtphone (iOS or Android), also download SOny's excellent app which allows you to remotely control the TV and "everything" else that is connected via HDMI. Very neat!
I took the post as the poster having a Sony Google TV adapter box and not a full HDTV.
Sony uses the term Sony Internet TV universally between the standalone box and a full HD Sony Internet TV.

Hello everyone! I am in Florida...have been for a decade now. Moving here after living in the Pac West has been so frustrating! In the county I live in..I cannot drive anywhere without seeing "Believe in jesus christ" There is a dentists office who on a major intersection, has a huge billboard with various christian messages on it. I would like to post my own billboard about Freethinkers...probably would get a big fat no!!
Hi, everyone! I almost feel like I'm at an AA meeting, lol. (I happen to work in an alcohol/drug treatment outpatient clinic). I really have been mostly quiet on facebook about my atheist beliefs, though I did put it on my info page for anyone to see. I'm one of those who doesn't want to rock the boat most of the time and don't want to upset others, but I'm starting to lean toward trying to find more atheist friends on facebook with whom I can converse, regardless of the subject. Most of my "friends" are Christian, right-wingers and sometimes they post ridiculous crap about Obama (the birther thing comes to mind) and will put up "inspirational" messages that I just ignore. I'm not offended by it, but more often their political stances really bother me. Most are okay with homosexuals...to a point, but often talk about their Christian ways being threatened. I'm really trying to be more open about my views without actually getting into it with my fb friends. So, if anyone wants to be a fb friend with me, I would love that. Just look for Trish Harmon with the funny profile pic of a female skull and crossbones wearing big sunglasses. That's me! (One of my creations for the design work I do.) If I can at least converse about whatever with other like-minded people on my facebook page it will be more fulfilling. If my Christian friends don't like it, they don't have to comment. It's just very frustrating being a minority in a world of crazy people.
Do you think it possible that, perhaps in the distant future, certainly not in our lifetimes, it will become obvious that there's no one or no thing coming back to "save" us? Or will it remain as Sam Kennison once said, "Its been 2,000 years," as he looks at his watch and adds "Hell, it could be any minute now"?
I have all sorts of books by the "New Atheists" lying around on my desk and in my bedroom, she has her own where she can sleep with jesses crap and listen to crapstian propaganda at any hour. I have her keep him in that room as opposed to all over the place, but she did sneak some small magnetic crap on the reefer door.
Will humanity be ever cursed by religion? It would certainly seem so, or will science and reality ever in the day?
You are lucky! Here in San Antonio most folks leave us alone because we live in a hotel apartment. That is sure a first question asked in small towns.
Thanks; however, one can never "know about the mentality of Texas" until one lives it. I found that when one is introduced to someone here in Wise County (an oxymoron for the century) the first question is normally "where do you go to church"? I always replied "I don't do the church thing" to weird looks and questioning eyes. I write a lot for the editorial section of the local rag and it's generally known that I'm a non-believer, and the missus tells her fellow bible-pounders that I am a non-believer and to not hit on me. Here pastor is a young, very nice and accommodation guy who knows of my atheism and allows Ken to be Ken; his name is also Ken.
I so agree about the mentality of Texas. I was told to stay away from the Dallas Fort Worth area. Is churchie good old boys kind of crap. After all, look at our Gov good hair. My big question is where is the rain? Ugh! I am an out spoken 65 yr old, not so nice old lady. My hubby is an atheist also. I read a lot of Issac Asimov books when we lived in NYC. I think Obama is such a nice, well educated man but he needs to drop the nice and tell these morons where to go. Nice talking, Karen
My missus and I are both from Eden, NC just a pleasant drive east of Winston-Salem and you are spot-on about the natural beauty of the state. I've covered it from the highest point est of the Rockies, Mt. Mitchel, to the Outer Banks and I regret ever moving to Florida in 1993. However, the move was necessary if I was to make a living. When we moved away there were 125 churches of various brands, mostly baptist or pentecost in form in Eden or its near environs. I outed myself as an atheist on 1990 after being exposed to the true nature of bible freaks and geeks by being dragged by my missus and two kids to the Assemblies of doG-affiliated Martinsville Crapstian Fellowship for a year before I finally bailed to preserve my sanity. My missus is still a born-again and I tell her that she'll have to "forgive" me fore thinking that my mom got it right the first time and I never felt the need for a second round.
We lived in Fort Lauderdale from 1993 to 2003 where I was very active with the James Randi Education Foundation and became close friends with the "Amazing One' Randi himself, actually appearing in his chair on occasion when the JREF ran a web cast every 4th Thursday following the 4th Thursday Open Forum discussion hosted by Randi if he wasn't traveling as he often was. It was held in the Isac Asimov Library and I would give anything to have a copy of that library as my office.
In 2003, for a host of reasons we moved from Fort Lauderdale and its incredible international wildly-flavored community to rural north central Texas horse country in Wise County )not) near the Texas version of Podunk, Decatur. Little did I realize I was moving to a cowboy version of Eden and there are a very few atheists but this forum has allowed or enabled two of my fellow atheists to link up and we go to the Denton Atheist Meetup Group every other Sunday 46-miles to our east. Denton is a college town and there are a lot of fellow travelers on the not-doG road there as one would anticipate, even in Texas.
Here's the rub, my missus is still an evangelical crapstian and this past June 3 we celebrated 45-successful years of marriage, proving that as long as there is mutual respect for each others First Amendment rights and responsibilities it's possible for the immovable object and the irresistible force to coexist under the same roof; she's also a neocon-theocon repugnican who voted for McCain and I was a very active supporter of Obama. Be that as it may he needs to get his head out of his republican-smelling ass and listen to the people like me who are renewing the protest movement that I remember fondly and have long thought it was time for a new Peace Movement. I'm 67 so I know well of what I speak.
Kathleen, My husband and I lived in Winston Salem for several years in the 1990's. NC is so beautiful. My husband had a show once a week on the local cable channel about calling in and asking questions of atheists. He was so popular people would shake his hand in the grocery store. It was so unreal. Have you joined some of the atheists on FB? I did and do not feel alone anymore. My hubby is gone all day driving a cab and I am disabled so my computer is my friend. Nice to hear from you. Karen
Trish, Hi! I don't envy you in that little podunk town. A big city like San Antonio isn't much different. Just more idiots. You are lucky your mom is an atheist. My husband and I have been married 33 yrs and are told that we are nothing and immoral because we "Don't love Jesus and have a personal relationship with him" One old lady tried to get us evicted by lying about us. We are alone here in Texas and prefer it that way. Having atheist web sites to chat with folks of a like mind is great. Welcome!!
I forgot to mention that I live in a small town in Missouri, Odessa. I moved to Missouri in '97 from Anchorage, Alaska (talk about a culture shock!) to be close to my mom who settled in Kansas City. Thankfully, my mom is an atheist, but it's hard to find another around here in my little podunk town. I actually keep to myself so I don't have to find myself being "that one" in town, lol. I like my anonymity. There are so many churches here and the big favorite...huge white angels on the front of many houses. Yay. I am proud of my town, however, for running out a white supremacist who was trying to open a teen club here (does the name Charles Juba ring any bells?) but they're still a bunch of hardcore Christians in many respects. Because of this, they get all up in arms about things like Pepsi (or was it Coca-Cola) putting the Pledge of Allegiance on their cans but leaving out the God part. We were founded on Christian principles, don't ya know? Ugh.

Popular video vixen Pebbelz Da Model has been charged with murder for allegedly injecting concrete into the buttocks of a woman in a botched cosmetic surgery operation.
Police claim that the 39-year-old suspect, whose real name is Natasha Stewart, and another woman killed an unidentified model by injecting cement into her buttocks. The victim died after the concrete got into her bloodstream.
[Pics of Pebbelz and her insane booty implants]
The two suspects were arrested in Memphis, Tennesese, Meditakeout reported.
"Natasha Stewart, 39, was questioned over the death of a Mississippi woman who was murdered by way of an injection of concrete into her buttocks. Stewart was charged with both homicide and as a fugitive from justice," Vlad TV reported. "The friend she was with, 21-year-old Shannetria Newberry, was charged with aggravated assault, failure to appear on a felony charge, bodily harm, and criminal forfeiture." The two women were being held at Shelby County jail in Tennessee.
You can see pictures of Stewart and her disturbing booty implants here.
Give her some concrete implants in her legs and let her swim in the Mississippi River.
okay like any other guy white or black i like a girl with a big butt but that is just gross.
Hardly surprising. Any one stupid enough to that to herself should probably plead insanity.
Lady probably said she wanted a rock hard butt.
she was dumb enough to have concrete injected into her body. simple darwin effect.
@Me, I'm guessing the woman didn't know they were using concrete.
As for Pebblez, it looks like she has 2 basketballs on her ass. Does anyone really find that look attractive?
Wait, so they didn't let her take her mug shot turned around to show her fake ass? I'm confused. That's how you normally get to view these tired bitches
Her pictures make her look like a giant penis, especially when she opens her mouth to look like a trouser snake.
Is this really where civilization is headed? Dear God. And we can't even blame the NRA, Mitt Romney, Obama or George W
The real story appears to be she referred women to a 'street surgeon' who killed one of them with a concrete injection.
The story above makes it appear she did the injection. It's one thing to give stupid advice to stupid people, another to actually kill someone.

Bugbear Entertainment has teased its next product; a racing game that will see the studio go "back to our roots".
"We're making a new car game," the studio revealed on its official official website.
"This time we're going back to our roots - just like all of our fans have been asking us to do! If you like what you see above, you're going to love it. It's all in-game footage!"
It is unclear whether this is a new FlatOut title, or which consoles it is being developed for. We've asked the studio and will provide any updates.
[UPDATE]: Bugbear has said "It's coming for the PC and yet to be announced platforms. More news soon."
The reveal was posted alongside a teaser video:
Although the studio is most known for its FlatOut title, its most recent title was Ridge Racer Unbounded. The Namco Bandai published title received a mixed reception. In our Ridge Racer Unbounded review we said the game was "solid, playable but ultimately uninspiring."

Return of the Living Dead Part II (1988)
I must say, I was quite surprised to find the second Return of the Living Dead movie inside of an envelope from Blockbuster yesterday when I went out to check the mail because the last time I looked at my rental queue online it said the movie had a very long wait. Unfortunately the excitement of finally being able to watch this movie was dampened once I realized that it was going to fall far short of the bar set by the first Return of the Living Dead. That said, it is still a fun film to watch, though one I recommend seeing with friends who enjoy such horror comedies rather than by yourself (these 'so bad there good' movies always seem more enjoyable with friends). Also, don't be alarmed if you see a few familiar faces amongst the living.
It was these familiar faces that made me realize why I was so confused several months ago when I watched the first Return of the Living Dead on TV one night after not having seen it for nearly ten years. The first time I saw Return of the Living Dead was on Joe Bob Brigg's Monster Vision and he had been showing several of the Return movies back to back. As usual, however, I fell asleep during the show (this always happened even though I loved Monster Vision) and only caught bits and pieces of the second movie. Because of this, and because they used two of the same actors in the second movie, actors who had different names but experienced the same horrific moments, I blended the two together, and then, when watching the first one a few months ago, thought scenes were missing. For one, I was almost positive that there was a scene with the tar-man zombie in a sewer type location (the beginning of part 2), and I was certain that there was a moment when Frank held up a severed zombie head and had his fingers bitten (again, part two, and this time his name was Ed). I also mixed in several of the chase scenes through the town, though it was easier for me to realize I might have accidentally taken those from another zombie movie when watching the first one since those types of scenes are naturally similar in most movies.
Now, one thing I didn't really understand in this movie was how much time had passed between the moment the zombie container fell off the army truck and landed in the river to the time it was opened by the dumb kids in the sewer area? When the kids go to open the container it seems like a lot of time has passed since it is covered in dried guck, and somehow made its way into the very back of that elevated sewer system, one that seemed to only have the opening in the front (I may be wrong about that though). However, whenever we cut back to the army scenes it looks like they set up a perimeter around the town shortly after the container was lost from the truck. So, did I miss something? I know the kid called the army to report the container, but it seems like even then they already had a perimeter set up. If not, then they did one hell of a nice job evacuating that town in such a short time period, while also doing a nice job of missing the areas closest to where the container ended up even though they could have just followed the river.
Oh well. Like I said earlier, this is a fun film to watch with friends but one that falls far short of the first Return of the Living Dead and will be disappointing if you're hoping for something on par with that first movie. Also, I kind of feel like they tried way to hard to make this movie funny, which turned it into more a zombie spoof than anything else. Sure, the first movie had its comedic moments, but they came second to the scares, which was the main focus of the movie. With this one it seemed like the comedy was the main focus and they didn't even really try to frighten us.

If I were investigating David Berkofsky's death, here's what I'd ask: Forrest Norman's very well-researched article about the mysterious shooting death of U.S. Customs inspector David Berkofsky ("The Question That Won't Die," July 1) raised several questions of interest to me as an attorney.
First, shouldn't there have been an inquest? Second, since this was a violent death of a federal officer on federal property, was the FBI notified? Third, who were the customs agents who participated in the investigation? Fourth, with the U.S. Customs internal-affairs department's reputation for "lengthy" and "ongoing" investigations, were IA agents involved in this investigation? If so, who were they?
John Cavicchi

Think about Alexander Hamilton vs. Aaron Burr: This past July 11 we remembered the 200th anniversary of the Alexander Hamilton-Aaron Burr duel that ended with the death of Hamilton. He was shot and killed by his rival when they faced off that day in Weehawken, New Jersey.
Nearly two centuries later, U.S. Customs inspectors José Marrero-Colon and David Berkofsky went into the conference room of their Miami office for what may have been a similar encounter. Hamilton did not commit suicide in his confrontation with Burr, and Berkofsky did not take the opportunity to have a "duel" with Marrero-Colon so he could take his own life. Duels are not venues to shoot and kill yourself.
The crack team of investigators who looked into the Berkofsky "suicide" needs to go back again and see the Forrest Norman truth-telling from the ruthless bias that contaminates this case.
Van Gross, M.D.
Why county manager should be an elected office: I could not agree more with Tristram Korten's exposé of Miami-Dade County Manager George Burgess's bungled selection of the new director of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ("Politically Tone Deaf," June 24).
I have had a citizen's encounter with Burgess concerning his property appraiser's blatantly erroneous conclusion on a property whose size has been incorrectly listed on the county's record for 38 years, thus causing an inflated assessment.
Months ago Burgess assured me of an independent review, but instead he blindly accepted the appraiser's findings. Such was the case with his very controversial, but fortunately failed, effort to hire Tom Allison as the new director of the corrections department.
Enough evidence. The position of county manager should be an elected one.
Charles Tien
Yes, especially when it's Neith Nevelson: In response to Forrest Norman's article about Neith Nevelson ("A Brush with Death," June 24), I want to say that I've known Neith personally and I feel so sad and powerless to see her almost on the brink of death.
Everyone -- and I mean everyone -- takes advantage of this defenseless artist whose ghosts from her past, including her childhood traumas, are about to kill her. But she can still be saved. I've spoken with her since the New Times article appeared and I know for a fact she needs help. Someone with pull needs to come up with $50,000 for an operation to mend her back, which was injured when she was struck by a car.
In Neith's case, whatever is done for her will simply be a compassionate and humanitarian gesture toward a fellow human being.

In fact I have to drive them to their gigs: Mine is not so much a reply to Lee Zimmerman's article "Deep Roots" (June 10) as it is a shameless plea for free publicity for my son's underage alternative-rock band. Maybe there's a story here, maybe not. Notwithstanding, the fact is that these musicians face great difficulties trying to hone their craft in sunny South Florida.
With the exception of a small handful of clubs, nobody really cares about the state of the live-music scene when it comes to underage musicians. Granted most of these clubs serve liquor, a necessary commodity for any successful venue. But how are some clubs able to promote successful underage shows while others won't or can't? Why is there a plethora of baseball, soccer, and hockey arenas, but no amphitheaters? Why do West Palm Beach commissioners require club owners to cancel their all-ages venues? Why is there a lack of funding for music and art education programs in our schools?
Enter Unwanted Superheroes. This five-piece band fights the never-ending battle for recognition and legitimacy. Armed with nothing but their music and good intentions, they play where they can, when they can, supporting the efforts of their pet project, Dafenix.org.
Dafenix.org is a Florida not-for-profit organization whose sole purpose is to promote music and art education in Florida's schools. Dafenix.org, not surprisingly, is run by recent high school graduates, college students, and volunteers, mostly from the South Florida area.
I urge New Times readers to find out more about the Dafenix Foundation and how they plan to accomplish their goals. In doing so, check out Unwanted Superheroes! They carry the torch for today's youth and the unspoiled motivations of their generation.

Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- A veteran biology professor described public school science standards being drafted by Kansas and other states as weak, telling education officials Tuesday that they largely ignore important subjects such as zoology and human anatomy.
John Richard Schrock, a biology professor at Emporia State University, said the standards being drafted concentrate too much on ecology, evolution and molecular biology. He said adopting such guidelines in Kansas is likely to prevent students from learning enough about zoology, human anatomy, botany and microbiology.
Kansas and 25 other states are working with the National Research Council on common standards for possible adoption in their public schools, and Kansas officials involved in writing the guidelines contend the goal is to concentrate on core scientific concepts. Schrock aired his criticism during a public-comment session before the State Board of Education, and officials involved in writing the standards responded during a monthly update for the board on their work.
Past work on science standards in Kansas has been overshadowed by debates about how evolution should be taught. The state had five sets of standards in eight years starting in 1999, as evolution skeptics gained and lost state board majorities in elections. The current, evolution-friendly standards were adopted by the board in 2007, but state law requires them to be updated.
Schrock, who's taught biology at Emporia State since 1986 and is a former chairman of its biology department, favors evolution-friendly standards, but he's also long argued that the state and U.S. should require students to take more science courses and impose detailed standards.
"You can't solve a chess problem if you don't how to play chess, and you can't repair a car if you don't know how a car works," he said during an interview. "This promotes science stupidity."
But Matt Krehbiel, the Kansas Department of Education official overseeing the state's work on the standards, said Schrock's criticism isn't justified. He said the standards won't preclude schools from teaching different scientific subjects but will promote a deeper understanding of core concepts.
A first draft of the proposed standards became public in May, and another draft is expected to be released in November. Officials expect the Kansas board to consider adopting them early next year.
John Popp, the Great Bend school district's curriculum and instruction director and co-chairman of a Kansas committee working on the standards, said the state has in the past made a point of covering so much content in its academic standards that it struggled to get students to "think deeply."
"We have skimmed across the surface," he told the board. "The whole idea of going deep versus going broad is a big shift for our teachers."
Kansas uses its academic standards to develop annual, standardized tests for students, using their scores to assess how well schools are teaching. Schrock said the "bite" from the new standards will come in testing.
"Those test questions will be used to drive the curriculum in the school," Schrock said.
Schrock has raised similar issues previously, most notably in 2005, when a conservative-led board adopted science standards incorporating language promoted by evolution skeptics. The professor, though critical of that language, found an ally in one of its backers in voicing concerns about a lack of material in the guidelines about zoology, botany and human anatomy.
And on Tuesday, board member Ken Willard, a Hutchinson Republican, and another past evolution skeptic, was receptive enough to Schrock's criticism to press Krehbiel and Popp about it, particularly on plant and animal science.
"Those would seem to be pretty important things to an agricultural-economy state," Willard said.
Popp said he wouldn't endorse standards if he felt they shorted such subjects. Krehbiel said people should reserve judgment until they see the next draft of the standards.
And board Chairman David Dennis, a Wichita Republican, said, "We're moving in the right direction."

When Reisfeld arrived in the courtroom, the bailiff asked Reisfeld if he'd seen the DCF caseworker, who hadn't arrived.
No, Reisfeld said, but he'd go to the GAL office down the hall and call her. There a staffer told Reisfeld the hearing had been postponed. Last-minute cancellations had become increasingly frequent, and Reisfeld had been growing more impatient with the guardian bureaucracy. Reisfeld headed to Judge Ross's office to complain, where by chance he met Seidman. Reisfeld complained about that day's cancellation, lost his temper, and accused Seidman of not caring about kids. Seidman claims he does not remember the incident. That night Reisfeld penned a measured, four-page letter to Chief Judge Ross recounting recent postponements and asking for a chance to address this and other issues. He did not hear back from Ross for several days.
Six days later Wagner sent a letter of warning to Reisfeld: If his behavior didn't change, the missive stated, he would be dismissed from the program. Reisfeld's "accusations" that Seidman "doesn't listen to Guardians and doesn't care about children were inappropriate," Wagner wrote. "You do not speak for the Guardian Ad Litem Program," she added, noting she would not tolerate his "combativeness" toward GAL staff and "derogatory comments" about the program.
On January 5, 2000, the GAL program's attorney, Christine Meyer, sent Reisfeld a memo telling him that he was not authorized to look into Andrea's case; it was closed. Reisfeld had been involved with Andrea's family for almost a decade; he believed it was his responsibility, as a GAL, to investigate. It wasn't until nine days later that Reisfeld finally received a copy of the court order regarding Andrea's case. The wording seemed contradictory, both recommending the baby remain under DCF supervision and suggesting the oversight end.
Next Reisfeld spoke with General Master Nicholas Lopane, who had handled Andrea's case. Reisfeld contends Lopane acknowledged he had not read Reisfeld's report. Had Lopane perused the document, the master told Reisfeld, he would not have terminated Andrea's supervision.
While Reisfeld believed the discussion with Lopane was in Andrea's best interest, it proved a critical misstep. On January 25 Wagner sent Reisfeld a fax alleging he had violated the program's code of conduct by talking with the master general. Several days later she faxed Reisfeld an agreement. Sign or face termination, she threatened. Among the conditions: Reisfeld would call his case coordinator only during a one-hour slot each week, except for emergencies. Reisfeld signed, under protest, and then relinquished all but five of the seventeen cases he had been assigned.
The next day Judge Ross called Reisfeld. According to Reisfeld, Ross's response to his complaints was: "Talk them over with your wife." (Neither Lopane nor Ross responded to New Times's requests for interviews.)
The breaking point came this past August, when Reisfeld learned O'Bryan Occean, still a juvenile in foster care, did not have his green card. Although Reisfeld was not O'Bryan's guardian, the boy's case was in the hands of the GAL program. Concerned O'Bryan might face a future like his brother's, Reisfeld called and left several messages for GAL program attorney Meyer.
Wagner notified Reisfeld on August 22 the phone calls were violations of the agreement he had signed. She terminated him as a GAL. "If we give our guardians specific directions, we expect them to follow [them]," says Wagner. "If he felt the child was at risk, there was a specific way to proceed." Reisfeld's behavior had reached a point where it was jeopardizing the credibility of the program, she says, adding, "Irv wants to make this personal. It was never personal."
But given the crises the foster system has faced in recent years, the decision to eliminate Reisfeld is perplexing. The public and the press have little access to the day-to-day operations of the public agencies involved in the foster care system. Thus GAL volunteers constitute the one group with unfettered access to those kids. Reisfeld's dismissal suggests a bureaucracy more interested in status quo than confrontation.
Some who worked beside Reisfeld say he possessed the right blend of chutzpah, common sense, and staying power for an outstanding advocate -- and the county is poorer for his dismissal.
"Irving is probably one of the best guardians we've ever had," says Muriel Abrams, a 78-year-old guardian ad litem who first volunteered around the same time as Reisfeld and is still with the program.
Nancy Weiser was the Broward GAL program director from 1992 until she resigned in 1996. "He looked for redeeming qualities in all his kids," she says. "He didn't always follow the rules. He rubbed people the wrong way sometimes. He's a very kind person with a gruff manner."
"I think to cut out someone like Irv is to cut off your nose to spite your face," Perlmutter says. "He's one of the few guardians I know who will take on what are usually the hardest cases, teenage boys."
"Irv is like a bulldog when he gets on a subject," says Judy Goloff, who was a GAL from 1990 to 1997. "He didn't care who got in the way. He didn't get swayed by politics. He held on to the best interests of the child.... I think what happened to Irv is a miscarriage of justice. I look at him as a casualty of what's happening to advocacy in Broward. What harm was he causing in being a watchdog in a system that doesn't seem to have any? Who's to gain from getting rid of Irv?... He was there for the kids. Who was there for Irv?"

These days when it comes to things gay it's hard to reach a consensus. We're a partial and persnickety bunch. Lurking beneath that rainbow flag there's a wealth of violently different opinion. What's fabulously faggy to one man is straight as George Bush to the next. What's delightfully dykey to one woman comes across as hetero as mom's apple pie to her ex. The definition of gay in the 21st century is broad, and getting broader by the minute. Just like beauty, gayness is in the eye of the beholder.
But at this point in time there does seem to be a collective agreement on at least one aspect of gay culture: that Sean Hayes' character Jack McFarland on NBC's Will and Grace is not only funny and adorable, but as gay as gay can be. And that it's exactly this last quality that makes him SO funny and SO adorable.
As Tom O'Neill recently wrote in The Advocate: "No actor is more defiantly campy than Hayes"
And as William Keck stated in a LA Times feature: "Jack's take on life? So honest. So tell-it-as-it-is. So completely gay! Jack's not just openly gay-he's open-24 hours-a day-gay."
It's not only the media who's all agog over Jack's gloriously gay factor. I've had more than one gay friend tell me half-seriously that he wants to be Jack McFarland when he grows up.
And on learning that I'm gay, more than one straight acquaintance, in a misguided effort to show that they don't have "a problem" with it, has told me that they think Jack is HILARIOUS.
Whether it's in the press or on the street, whether it's coming from the mouths of gay babes or the mouths of straight babes, Jack is being set up as the uber-gay, the ur-gay. He's been built up as a kind of gay equivalent of the metric system of measurement: a universal standard against which all us other gay men--us strange ones who live out our sexual identity not just in a TV studio, but 24 hours a day--can judge the authenticity of our gay selves.
He's our cheerleader. He's our mascot. No one on the team seems to particularly want to fuck him, but everybody would love to be his friend and hang with him and cuddle him. We love him just like six-year-olds love Pikachu, and kids, watch out for that Jack McFarland plush doll at a gay-mart near you.
Speaking of six year olds: is it just me, or has anyone else who watches "Will and Grace" noticed that lately Jack's been behaving less like a flamboyant gay man, and more like a snotty child?
My attention was first drawn to this on an episode from the current season; one where Jack first develops an infatuation with a cute guy who works at Starbucks, then subsequently develops a caffeine addiction. He spends the rest of the episode trying to kick coffee, running around and babbling in the monosyllabic, hysterical fashion of a child with an extreme case of attention deficit disorder.
A following episode of the show had Jack riding around on one of those scooters currently popular with the kids, and haggling online with a little girl over a pair of Britney Spear's heels.
Watching re-runs I realized this infantilization of Jack's character wasn't a particularly new development. It's always been there, but lately it seems to be emerging more and more as his defining element.
Will constantly treats him like his child, and a number of his jokes often set Jack up as exactly that. At the end of one episode where they're driving back from Fire Island, Jack turns to Will and says, "I love you daddy."
And if Will is his daddy Karen is definitely his busty mommy. Whenever Jack has one of his frequent temper tantrums she takes his hand--just as a mother would take the hand of her small child--and takes him out shopping.
In the LA Times feature Hayes referred to his character as having a "twinkie appeal", but from the way he's been playing Jack lately I'd define it more as a toddler appeal. It's less boy band, more Macaulay Culkin in his early early period.
Now I hate to shatter the one area of consensus left in gay life. I too look forward to my weekly dose of "Will and Grace." Or used to look forward to it, before my irritation set in.
And considering the size and fanaticism of Jack's fan club I could be placing my life at stake. Is there a gay version of the police protection program?
But honestly, this feels more pressing. When I watch "Will and Grace" these days, I'm sorry, but Jack simply doesn't seem that gay to me. Once upon a time we could rely on Hayes for a good dose of old fashioned queeniness, but lately he's less queen and more clown. His slutty asides and sexual innuendoes that always helped the program from becoming too squeaky clean have become few and far between; they've been replaced by far too many goofy gestures and silly faces.
I'm concerned for him. I feel like I'm watching a more petite Jim Carey or a lavender shade of Eddie Murphy. His acting style is drawing less from Quentin Crisp and more from Jerry Lewis.
Apart from making me cranky, watching this diluted version of Jack makes me a little fearful, reminiscent as it is of the cartoonish caricatures African Americans had to deal with in Hollywood cinema for a good part of the 20th century. Up on the screen they were depicted as likable in a highly hysterical sort of way, and were straitjacketed with ways and gestures that had nothing whatsoever to do with their real lives.
Now I know that Will and Grace is consciously over the top, not social drama. But just because it isn't realism doesn't mean a hefty proportion of its viewers (many of whom perhaps don't know any gay people personally) think that Jack is the be-all and end-all of what it is to be gay.
More importantly-there are many queer teens out there for whom the only mirror available is the one on TV. At least if they got to see the first episode of "Queer As Folk" they learned that rimming is one of the most refined pleasures, and good enough reason for being gay. They won't learn a thing from this watered down version of Jack McFarland.
They might learn something from Will, that is when he's not quipping and being dashing like a downgraded Cary Grant. At least Will is often shown to contain those two great gay traits: he's neurotic and insecure.
They might even have learned a thing or two from the old Jack. Though queer characters on TV being represented as queens does have its problems; I don't have a problem with it. Though it runs the risk of being a big fat cliché of how the straight world perceives gays, it's not only a stereotype, but also an archetype. It's a real identity; one adopted and lived daily by a vast number of gay men. Hell, I could even stomach Jack's dressing like Tony Randall in "The Odd Couple": at least that has some cultural context and a nice retro factor.
What I can't stomach is what I see (before my very eyes) as Jack's slow descent from cutting edge queen to baby and worse yet, basic buffoon. Gay culture is already stuck enough in a Peter Pan syndrome; it doesn't help any if our most visible gay character acts like a child.
I similarly can't stand is the media still unquestioningly equating this character with someone who is OUT in every way. Honestly: what's an actor who lately seems to swipe all his moves off Jerry Lewis got to do with gayness? I bet it's close to impossible to rent old Jerry Lewis movies from whatever video store Hayes frequents.
It also strikes me as slightly ironic that gay culture's fawning over this actor who in real life sits on the fence and refuses to disclose his own sexuality, whatever it may be.
Recently there's been a hell of a lot of fawning over Hayes: our golden boy was up for a Golden Globe. He didn't win.
Someone who did win, though not much attention was given to it, either before or after, was Vanessa Redgrave; she won best supporting actress for HBO' s wonderful "If These Walls could talk 11." In it, Redgrave played an elderly lesbian in 1950's small-town America whose long-time partner dies. Faced with the USA' s deeply biased laws of familial inheritance (still in place today), she is kicked out of the house she and her lover shared a life in. She is flung out of her life, and given no space to grieve. She's erased. Her performance was stunning, historically authentic and heartbreakingly real. It was everything (and more than) we could ask for.
It offered everything that Sean Hayes and his not so gay as he seems to be TV persona in its current new manifestation does not: most of all an accurate mirror and a clear reflection.
Oddly enough I related more to Redgrave's performance of an elderly woman living in the fifties than to Hayes' rendering of a gay man roughly my own age living in this present moment.
With Bush in the White House, and fat chance of much helpful attention being paid to gays over the next four years, it's more important than ever that those gay characters on TV offer us some measure of truth. It's still slim pickings out there. If Jack is to maintain his status as the gayest boy on TV, Hayes and the writers and the studio should think about cutting out the slapstick, which has no gay connection, and increasing the camp quota. It's time to bring back the bitch. If our queen of queens wants to maintain his title they better send OUT that clown ASAP.

Under the old rules, Cuban Americans with family on the island could visit their relatives once a year on a kind of honor system, and more frequently than that if they received a special permit. There was no restriction on the length of the visits. Under the new rules supported by Diaz-Balart, they could travel to Cuba only once every three years, with no exceptions, and stay no more than fourteen days. Also travelers now would be required to obtain a permit from the federal government for each trip.
Tempers had flared earlier when charter airlines flying from Miami to Havana were forced to cancel at least eleven flights scheduled for that day. Many dozens of people, some of whom had flown in from other parts of the country, had purchased tickets and packed luggage with the intention of seeing their relatives in Cuba just before the new regulations took effect. The charter companies, however, had not received authorization from the U.S. State Department for the hastily arranged flights, forcing the cancellations. The travelers were enraged.
When they caught sight of Diaz-Balart, they pursued him to the parking lot and unleashed their fury as he stood beside his car. "You're dividing families!" one person yelled amid a frenzy of shouts and intense finger-pointing. Local television crews, whose remote trucks with extended mast-cams had been parked in the VIP lot all day, caught the whole thing.
Diaz-Balart just missed crossing paths with his nemesis Joe Garcia, executive director of the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF). Garcia had rushed to MIA at the request of an MSNBC reporter. Standing on the sidewalk as cabs and buses sputtered past, Garcia told the network correspondent: "Any time the government gets between families we think it's just bad. Particularly when the president just announced a series of [other Cuba policy] measures that I think are fantastic, I think he's just put himself in a politically untenable position. And I think it's because he got bad counsel. Hopefully he can do something to correct it."
"Do you believe that travel once every three years is not a good idea?" the reporter asked.
"Not a good idea," Garcia replied. "There are thousands of things we could have done to break the most brutal dictatorship this hemisphere has ever seen."
Garcia's "bad counsel" line was a shot at Diaz-Balart and other advocates of the new restrictions, which CANF opposed.
After MSNBC was done with Garcia, he repeated his catchy putdown, one-by-one, to three local television reporters and again on numerous television talk shows and radio interviews over the next few weeks. He also came up with another zinger: The restrictions were the White House's way of "throwing some red meat to the right." Another swipe at Diaz-Balart and el exilio's hardliners -- Republican loyalists, generous with their political donations, and hungry for a return on the money: if not a military overthrow or criminal indictment of Castro and his cronies, then at least a complete cutoff of travel and monetary remittances to the island.
Garcia was at it again. A year earlier he'd created an uproar when he ridiculed Diaz-Balart as being "politically impotent" for his supposed inability to influence the Bush White House on Cuba issues. That was July 2003, two and a half years after Bush's election. The president had trashed the dictator in speeches, praised dissidents on the island, called for free elections, and vowed to uphold the hodgepodge of trade sanctions cobbled together over four decades. But that was nothing new. Even Bill Clinton, the guy who snatched Elian Gonzalez, had said all that. Clinton, in fact, signed the Helms-Burton bill, the toughest embargo law to date, after Cuban MiG pilots shot down two Brothers to the Rescue planes over the Straits of Florida, killing four people.
At best President Bush looked erratic, at worst he appeared to be in league with Castro -- at least in the eyes of some hard-core exiles. The dictator had jailed 75 dissidents in April of last year. Bush subsequently eliminated "people to people" educational trips that had begun under Clinton. The president trashed Castro again in a May 20 Cuban Independence Day speech. But then in July he repatriated twelve Cubans who had allegedly hijacked a boat to Florida. Furthermore, he negotiated directly with the Castro regime regarding the suspects' possible punishment. That deal, widely decried in the exile community, prompted Garcia's "impotent" outburst. Cuban-American state legislators and local officials from Miami-Dade followed his lead by sending Bush a warning letter: If he wanted the continued support of Cuban Americans, he'd have to crank up the pressure on Castro -- and in a big way.

@jmc88 - Good advice. What I had to do when I got my first car loan was have a parent co-sign. I didn't have bad credit, but I didn't have good credit just because I hadn't had a chance before. Getting a parent to co-sign makes creditors less weary of your debt.
You alluded to it, but it's also not a good idea to pay off a car loan really fast if you're wanting to build credit. Like was mentioned, the length of your credit history plays a role. If you can pay off a car loan in 12 months that's great, but biting the bullet and paying extra interest to stretch the payments out 24 to 36 months will be better. That's still assuming you're wanting to raise your credit score and not just keep good credit.
The other thing that hasn't been mentioned that I recently learned goes into the credit score is requests for credit. That's why it's not a good idea to immediately try to get another credit card if you've been denied one already. Wait a few months instead.

Generic Name: golimumab (goe LIM ue mab)
Brand Name: Simponi
What is golimumab?
Golimumab is a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. It works by reducing the effects of a substance in the body that can cause inflammation.
Golimumab is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and ulcerative colitis. Golimumab is sometimes used with another medication called methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall).
Golimumab may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What is the most important information I should know about golimumab?
You should not use this medicine if you are also using abatacept or anakinra.
Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur during treatment with golimumab, especially if you also use other medications that can weaken your immune system.
Stop using golimumab and call your doctor right away if you have signs of infection such as: fever, chills, sore throat, stomach pain, diarrhea, muscle aches, skin redness, headache, dry cough, coughing up blood or mucus, chest discomfort, rapid heart rate, white patches in your mouth or throat, or pain when swallowing.
Some people using golimumab have developed a rare fast-growing type of lymphoma (cancer) that affects the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and it can be fatal. This has occurred mostly in teenage boys and young men using golimumab.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before using golimumab?
You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to golimumab, or if you are also using abatacept or anakinra.
Golimumab can weaken your immune system. Serious and sometimes fatal infections may occur during treatment, especially if you also use other medications that can weaken your immune system.
Using golimumab may increase your risk of certain types of cancer, including lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes) or melanoma (a tumor that usually affects the skin). This risk may be greater in children and young adults. You may also develop an autoimmune disorder such as a lupus-like syndrome. Talk with your doctor about your specific risk.
Some people using this medicine have developed a rare fast-growing type of lymphoma (cancer) that affects the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and it can be fatal. This has occurred mostly in teenage boys and young men using golimumab or similar medicines to treat Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. However, people with autoimmune disorders (including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriasis) may have a higher risk of lymphoma.
Before you start treatment with golimumab, tell your doctor if you have ever had tuberculosis, if anyone in your household has tuberculosis, or if you have recently traveled to an area where tuberculosis is common.
Some infections are more likely to occur in certain areas of the world. Tell your doctor where you live and where you have recently traveled or plan to travel to during treatment.
To make sure golimumab is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
an active or recent infection (including flu symptoms, diarrhea, skin infection, bladder infection, or lung infection);
chronic infections that come and go;
hepatitis B, or other liver problem;
a history of cancer or lymphoma;
a history of congestive heart failure;
HIV, or a weak immune system;
a disease that affects the nerves or muscles, such as multiple sclerosis;
an allergy to latex rubber;
if you have ever had Guillain-Barre syndrome; or
if you are scheduled to receive any vaccine.
FDA pregnancy category B. This medication is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby. However, a newborn baby may have an increased risk of infection for up to 6 months if the mother uses golimumab during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using golimumab.
It is not known whether golimumab passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Do not give this medication to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice.
How should I use golimumab?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not use this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Golimumab is injected under the skin or into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles, IV tubing, and other items used to inject the medicine.
Golimumab comes with patient instructions for safe and effective use. Follow these directions carefully. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Do not shake the prefilled syringe or you may ruin the medicine. Prepare your dose only when you are ready to give an injection. Do not use if the medicine has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.
Use a different place on your stomach, thigh, or upper arm each time you give the injection. Your care provider will show you the best places on your body to inject the medication. Do not inject into the same place two times in a row. Avoid injecting golimumab into skin that is scarred, bruised, red, tender, or hard.
Each single-use vial (bottle) of this medicine is for one use only. Throw away after one use, even if there is still some medicine left in it after injecting your dose.
Use a disposable needle and syringe only once, then throw away in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Store this medicine in the refrigerator but do not allow it to freeze. Keep the medication in its original carton and protect from light.
Take the prefilled syringe or autoinjector out of the refrigerator and place it at room temperature for 30 minutes before giving your injection. Do not warm the medication with water or heat.
Golimumab can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections and help your blood to clot. This can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick from being around others who are ill. Your blood may need to be tested often.
If you have hepatitis B you may develop liver symptoms after you stop taking this medication, even months after stopping. Your doctor may want to check your liver function for several months after you stop using golimumab.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the medication as soon as you remember, and then go back to your regular injection schedule. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

Senior partner at Gawor & Co talks about The Wharf Property Awards as its main sponsor
Mark Gawor, senior partner at Gawor and Co - the main sponsor of The Wharf Property Awards 2014 - said he was looking forward to the annual event blossoming further at its second incarnation.
He said the greater number of people would provide even more opportunities for networking than last year's ceremony.
He said: "This year's event looks to be even bigger and better than last year with Nikki Hamersley and her team doing a grand job in organising a larger venue with more guests and tables than ever.
"Last year saw many well deserving property people from Canary Wharf and the surrounding areas being nominated by their peers and picking up awards as voted for by professionals in the business and The Wharf's team of judges. The involvement of the industry makes them even more special and a true reflection of their worth in the sector."
Mark said the biggest highlight from last year's event was seeing Docklands property market stalwart Alan Selby receive the special recognition award after his many years working in the area.
Looking back over the past 12 months, Mark said: "This year has seen a remarkable growth in the level of property transactions in all areas of the Wharf and central London and we have been very busy making sure our client's sales and purchases run smoothly."
He added: "Long may the awards continue. We are very proud to be sponsoring the event."
The Wharf Property Awards will be held tonight at The Hilton, Canary Wharf

Protect-O-Bot | |||||||||
| |||||||||
The Protect-O-Bot was a prototype protectron which was never released by RobCo. It is currently at the REPCONN headquarters on static display.
Excerpt from the description in the REPCONN headquarters museum:
"Some folks have asked - why not a protectron with wheels? RobCo wasn't afraid to answer that question: The Protect-O-Bot is the answer. While safety standards prevented this free-wheeling dynamo from entering mass market production despite RobCo's best intentions and teams of lawyers, we take the consolation in letting you see this extremely well-funded experiment as it was intended - a robot moving so fast it looks like it's standing still!
Exhibit Brought to You By Your Friends at RobCo"
It's a protectron with a car-type design, with wheels rather than normal legs, and a dynamo accelerator. It looks a lot like the torso and head of a regular protectron, with the wheels and legs of a sentry bot, though laying down instead of being upright. The primary weapon, a laser, is mounted at the front of the vehicle, where the protectron's 'head' is located.
A prototype can be seen in the REPCONN headquarters in a state of disrepair as an exhibit in a museum.
The Protect-O-Bot appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Waveney MP Peter Aldous. Photo: Andy Darnell
Monday, November 19, 2012
Land belonging to a Suffolk MP's family could be turned into a massive solar farm.
Proposals submitted to Waveney District Council include details for a 24.6- hectare solar park to be built on farmland to the north east of Chediston, near Halesworth.
Approval of Solarcentury's plans, which have attracted mixed reactions from neighbouring properties, would see the construction of rows of solar panels capable of generating 12.3MW of power.
Waveney MP Peter Aldous, whose family owns the site adjoining Bonners Farm, confirmed that Solarcentury had approached them to inquire if the land could be leased to them for the purpose of cultivating renewable energy.
He added: "We as a family had to make a decision about whether we went along with it. We decided it was appropriate to do so."
Mr Aldous said an "option agreement" had been signed, meaning Solarcentury will pay for the application and if successful take out a lease of up to 25 years on the land.
According to documents, for the so-called Chediston Hall Solar Park, scores of solar panels will be mounted on "tables" with a front height of 60cm and a back height of up to 220cm and run in a linear pattern across fields.
Hedgerows would be planted and grass and wild flowers allowed to grow, to be mowed back twice a year to protect the panels.
The document states: "The proposed solar park is intended to have limited visual impact, as the existing and enhanced boundary planting will effectively hide the development from view. It will therefore have a minimal impact on the wider countryside and landscape in the area."
The plans reveal that construction of the solar park would entail 384 movements on the site by lorries over about six weeks of the building process.
In consultations, one neighbour had voiced concern that views of the countryside would be removed and it could be "detrimental" to the value of the property.
Joanna Wareham of Herne Hill Farm, who owns fields immediately south of the site, said she was "wholly in favour of renewable energy" but would like to see 23 hedge trees safeguarded. Mr Aldous said the "option agreement" meant he was unable to discuss the planning application.

Personally a much more preferred option than wind turbines, I hope wildlife can thrive among the panels, wildflowers insects and birds sadly are a rarity in our local countryside due to the obsession and sadly the necessity of food production for out grossly overpopulated countryplanet.
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
I expect Mr. Aldous is vehemently opposed to Sizewell's expansion, why else would he be interested to feed on subsidies. Using good class 2 farmland for this purpose is lunacy.
Monday, November 19, 2012
Solar farms are infinitely more both acceptable and efficient than the hated wind turbines. That is a matter of fact, agreed with by 85% of us. They are NOT however acceptable when placed on any land suitable for food production. The same applies to the planned 3520 houses on good arable land at Sprowston. Arable land is for growing food, not electricity or housing.
Monday, November 19, 2012
Daisy Roots: 25 Ha is not that large an area? How big is your garden for goodness sake? It is a very large piece of valuable land that can be used for food production. People moan about wind turbines but at least they don't totally destroy the surrounding area by making it unusable, small foot print in the grand scheme of things, and sensible placed do have their uses, despite what the antis say.
Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Not sure of the efficiency of these solar farms and the subsidy situation, but if the panels are sensibly placed didnt it ought to be possible to graze sheep amongst them? Dual use, low profile, low maintenance some wildlife benefit and no noise-seems a lot more sensible than off shore wind farms. I was going to suggest running free range hens amongst them then common sense got the better of me-perching hens would not make for clean solar panels. 25 Ha is not that large an area.
Monday, November 19, 2012
Mr Aldous is all in favour of windfarms,he'd put one in his garden if he thought there was a few quid in it for him.Then again so would Bobby.

Fashion Street is one of the most widespread shopping destinations in Mumbai. With over a varied array of 150 shops, Fashion Street promises the ardent shopper a lot more junk and knick-knacks than any large mall or fashionable stores can offer. Located opposite the VSNL office building on M.G. Road, the street is famous for the latest and the trendiest clothing lines in Mumbai. Even designer brands are available here at off-the-cuff prices. A variety of denims, shirts, accessories, hats, footwear and mini-restaurants can be found on this street. Export quality garments in a variety of sizes are unceremoniously dumped in petty shops that attract tourists all the more. The muddle of color, combined with the aroma of delicious street food and unbelievable fashion is what sets this market apart. If you want to enjoy street side shopping in Mumbai, then there is nothing better than heading out to Fashion Street that promises a plethora of clothing and accessories and off-the-cuff prices. If you are a smart buyer and you know how to bargain, then Fashion Street might just be your 'Shangri-La'. Read on for more information.
What To Expect
Once you get into Fashion Street, don't be surprised if you are surrounded by a horde of stomping students and teenagers. A vibrant flea market, Fashion Street is a shopper's Eden. Tourists will often find themselves surrounded by over 100, small shops, where chic, export surplus clothing and fashion accessories are available for offbeat prices. Fashion conscious collegians and enthusiastic shoppers are almost always enthralled by the collection of readymade garments and trinkets available here. From traditional dresses to colorful bangles and state-of-the-art gadgets, Fashion Street is more than just a regular market. Jewelery can also be found abundantly here. Be prepared for the wariness of shopkeepers who quote higher-prices to people who are visibly new to the place. Use your intuition and shopping knowledge and bargain! If you are good at bargaining, then you might be able to get yourself some really good deals at inexpensive rates.
Most of the shops are dilapidated buildings, with traces of Gothic architecture. One of the oldest markets in Mumbai, Fashion Street is just a cluster of 100-150 shops lined in two separate rows, mirroring typical flea markets.

text: Bitcoin is NOT a ponzi scheme like the Dollar or the Euro because there's a finite number of them that can ever exist. Central banks can go on a printing spree like the Weimar Republic. The Bitcoin Foundation can't. They also can't just reach into your Bitcoin wallet and take money like they can from your bank account (think Cyprus.) The dream is that more and more firms start accpting payment in Bitcoin and that one day we'll be able to buy everything at the store with Bitcoins using a debit card or similar. It would also forever end the state control over money. The bubble component of Bitcoin was mainly due to Cyprus and is over with now. In case anyone's wondering, not having enough Bitcoins will never be an issue because you can transat with up to many decimal points.

RE: Wanda Fields (Ackels) Perry
Hello Perry,
I have never heard the name Ackels in the family history,my mother in-law ( Wanda`s Cousin ) mention a couple of marriages and the lost of Wanda`s son as toddler and that she know she have been married at least a couple of time`s but it is without question Fredia Mcewen. My husbands family was the only McEwen Family in Monson at the time.I am unable to see the Image because I do not have a current subscription, while death records are an excellent way to find genealogy information the information is not a direct source. I have in the past found that when Names come up like this there is a real association to them . Just not always the one we think. This is interesting ,I will ask my brother in law if he knows of the name Ackels. TY

I want to try and keep premium. I love it so. ;A; Every little bit counts. <3 Please and thank. |
Well. My pen name is Christal and I am pretty much an average American teenager. Only, I'm not quite average, and I'm not much of a patriotic person. I'm twenty years old now. (Holy crap does time fly.) Back in the day I was hyper and ridiculous and a chubby little drama llama who always had way too much sugar. The difference between then and now is that I'm just as hyper and ridiculous with a little less drama, a little more exercise, way less sugar, and time. . . And, well… I went from being a dog person to a cat person. (I actually never had a preference and still don't.) I'm of the female variety and asexual … borderline straight, borderline I'm way too awkward for this andIwanttohaveagoodtimesodon'ttouchmeandwecanjustbefriendsokay? Okay. Making people laugh, being the best person I can be, and getting people to think outside of the box are pretty much my life goals. (Although getting married someday and making my parents proud is what I should actually be writing here. Oops.) My life hasn't been particularly kind to me, although I know I'm better off than other people out there. It's just that my self-esteem doesn't really exist. My biggest problems are cutting and eating properly. (Because you really need to know that.) We all have skeletons in our closet. I just don't bother to keep my closet closed. I enjoy anything and everything creative. From singing and performing, to drawing and writing. Expressing myself is what I do best. (Actually that and listening are the only things I can do.) I also tend to be very random, but I promise you I'm sometimes not maybe are possibly sober part of the time. If that wasn't enough for you than you're welcome to message me about whatever you'd like. |


text: Hi. First time to the forum. I recently got a Ruger 10/22 VLEH Model 1230 with the Black Hogue OverMolded stock and the bipod and a new Redfield Revolution 4-12 scope to mount on it. I used the same type rings and mounts that I have used on any number of other rifles I have. Problem is that I have run out of vertical adjustment and am still 5 1/2" low at 25 yds!!!! At 100yds I am about 12 1/2" low (plus or minus). Several different types of ammo were used. When I spoke to Redfield they said that this was a problem with the bull barrell that they are seeing on Ruger rifles (it got to where I didn't even listen how he said I should dismantle the rifle to MAYBE fix it). I explained to him that I then mounted an older Leupold Vari-X-III 2.5-8 and had absolutely not problem with zeroing and shooting a great group. He said, yea but how much did you have to adjust the Leupold? I don't remember that we had to do anything all the way to the stops. Seems that it was just a halfturn maybe...but that is not really apples to apples because I am not sure where that scope was to begin with. If I remember right the Leupold has less MOA of adjustment than the 50 MOA on the Redfield. Redfield said that I could shim the back or buy a base with a downward forward cant like a 20 MOA tactical base. Or they said I could send it to them to see if I was getting full travel. I am not going to shim this setup...I should not have to and I am not wild about spending another $30 for a 20 MOA base or am I interested in sending it to them for a check up! Any ideas? Has anyone heard of this problem with either the scope of the rifle or target barrels? Thanks, Bilbo

MEDFORD, Ore. – The NewsWatch 12 Holiday Toy and Food Drive is about half way over, but we are still in need of donations to make sure every child has a toy under the Christmas tree.
The Salvation Army just finished up its Christmas Assistance Sign-Ups, saying 1,500 families signed up to receive help this holiday season. The need adds up quickly, when you consider there are about 6 people to a family that need a holiday meal.
The sign-ups also include about 3,000 children, who need a special visit from Santa. The Salvation Army said although the last day to donate is the 21st, the earlier the donations come in the better.
The items donated will go to Salvation Army and ACCESS to be distributed. You can donate at most of the Fred Meyer locations in Southern Oregon. You'll find these boxes at the Fred Meyer stores in Medford, Grants Pass and Klamath Falls. You have until December 21st to drop off a brand-new toy or non-perishable food item.

Has anyone here ever had issues with concurrent internet connections in the same household? My dad has a computer in the house, and I have one in a workshop out back, and sometimes when we are both on the internet at the same time, things seem to go more slowly.
It takes longer for images and text to show up on webpages when we are both logged into the internet. I can always tell when he logs off, because the information loads much more quickly all of a sudden.
We both do work online, so we have to use the internet at the same time. We split the bill to make it more affordable, but I'm starting to wonder if it might be more efficient to just get my own internet and work from home.

Letters are easy to set up and use. Looks great. Supplied bushing is plastic & bit ate it up, thus, letter template got eaten as well (definately need brass bushing to use). As long as you have your own bushing, this letter set would be 5 Stars out of 5 Stars.

I meant to do my work today,
But a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
And a butterfly flitted across the field,
And all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
Tossing the grasses to and fro,
And a rainbow held out its shining hand--
So what could I do but laugh and go?
