Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

after watching the clips, it really wasn't that bad. trebek handled it very well.
AP!! wahoooo!!!
that is insane. if you don't want to comment, go inside, call the police, but throw rocks and send your dogs after innocent people?! that's just not right
you know they really ought to allow you to delete your comments and such. I think this is an amazing project and am glad something beautiful can grow from a place of pain. <3
I interned for two years as an unpaid mental health counselor. they charged $125/session for my services of which I never saw a cent. I was paid with extremely valuable experiences and supervision. the fashion industry is mean, cutthroat, and vicious. do they expect it to be any different for an intern? even as a paid individual in this system, you're still going to be treated like shit.
heck no! Michelle always wins! plus, she looked way more amazing and appropriate ;-)

Water Softner Sizing Question ?
Raw water results.
Results Units
PH 7.44 su
Nitrate Total Coliform Bacteria Absence
E. Coli Absence
Iron 0.38 mg/L
Lead Manganese Mercury Gross Alpha 1.5+-0.6 pCi/L
Hardness is 7 grains or 119 mg/L. (Hardness, often times is expressed in mg/L as CaCO3)
TDS is 141 mg/L
3 people in the house
2 bathrooms
I hope these results will help properly size the unit I need for my house.
I'm interested in getting a water softener too. I have a 55 year old back and I'm wondering if water can be softened without salt or with a minimal amount of salt. I've seen some units on the internet that don't use salt, but I can't tell if they really work or not. Any ideas?
Softening water is done most cost effectively by ion exchange using either NaCl (sodium chloride) or KCl (potassium chloride) as a regenerant. A correctly sized and properly setup ion exchange softener might use ONE 40 lb bag a month. I have an older back than you and it's doable... even if it's a bucket of stuff at a time.
NONE, I repeat NONE, of the no salt conditioners soften water. Not a single one will reduce the hardness of the water by one single grain of hardness.
If you'd like more info regarding your particular needs then start a new thread.
I called both Culligan, or Kinetico and both are either too busy I guess or elected not to call me back for some reason.
Don't really know what else I can do to get help. It's as frustrating to you as it is to me. I just want to get the problem corrected as soon as possible.
Sorry I may have offended or bothered anyone on this forum, I'll try not to do that in any future problems that I may have.
You are confusing bothering or offending with disrespect and a petulant attitude.
Those who give their time and knowledge on self-help forums do it to help others with the only expectations being civility and some small measure of appreciation that they do.
Being ignored and/or not listened to by people who have solicited their advice and assistance does little to endear that poster to those trying to help and ignoring the help you asked for again and again only inclines those helping to stop.
Privately emailing those who already told you they are done trying to help as if they didn't see that you still need help is an imposition and won't do you any good. Neither will hijacking other people's posts that are asking for help with sarcastic "good luck" posts. They will get the help they ask for as long as they don't antagonize those helping them.
You got the help you wanted but didn't listen and then you talked those who were trying to help you out of continuing to do so.
I wonder if Kinetico and Culligan not returning your calls was because you impressed them with the same attitude you've shown on this forum.
I highly doubt that I impressed any kind of attitude when all I did was leave my name, phone number and address and that I was interested in having my water checked and that I was interested in purchasing a water softner from them.
I got the information you asked for by getting the certified Lab reports. Wanted opinions from here as to what size unit I needed and then wanted to compare when I can get a professional water company out here. Just wanted to know as much as I can before I get another company out here. I was counting on help from this forum.
I have helped plenty of people on different forums on different web sites. I treat everyone with respect and NO question is a dumb question, no mattter how many times the SAME question is asked over and over again, I answer it.
I really enjoy helping people. My knowledge has helped people save thousands of dollars and helped people get the most bang for their hard earned money.
Some people on here I guess just aren't as smart as yourself, some have patience on here when helping a person and some don't.
There is a limit to everyone's patience and if you re-read your thread it should be plain to see that you have exceeded mine.
And don't single me out... you drove another person, who has posted to help countless people on this forum, to dismiss you.
It became apparent that you weren't or didn't listen to anything that was posted to help you. If you simply couldn't understand then that would have been another story entirely but rather than put up with your DEMAND to be helped because YOU wanted to be helped Alice and I just left you to the only person you need... yourself. We made the best recommendation we could based on your attitude and that was for you to seek out a local pro that you could argue with face to face because our fingers were bloody from typing.
If you search this forum you will see that Alice and I and others take great pains to help anyone that even gives us the illusion that they appreciate it.
It's not a matter of who is smart it's a matter of knowing what you know and knowing what you don't know and asking for help and accepting it with even the most minute amount of humility rather than DEMANDING help.
I wasn't demanding anyone for help,If you took it that way I am sorry that you misunderstood me that way.
On an open forum like this I was just asking for anyone's help and their opinions on my situation.
Any help on an open forum is a given, it is always greatly appreciated.
I'm really not looking to argue with anyone about this, just trying to learn as much about this as I can so I can be more knowledgeable when I talk to local pro.
"I wasn't demanding anyone for help,If you took it that way I am sorry that you misunderstood me that way"
When you are told 5 times what tests are needed to answer your questions and still don't listen then we are not misunderstanding you.
"On an open forum like this I was just asking for anyone's help and their opinions on my situation"
Yet you repeatedly ignored the help that was given.
"Any help on an open forum is a given, it is always greatly appreciated"
Yet you didn't act like the help offered was appreciated in any way and became indignant when you didn't get the answers you wanted to hear and then emailed me directly to get an answer after I posted that I was done helping you.
You sense of entitlement is amusing.

Several New York state legislators from the Hudson Valley haves signed onto a letter imploring the MTA to provide Orange and Rockland commuters with a one-seat ride to New York City's Penn Station.
A northern New York bus manufacturer has landed a contract to build 414 buses for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it appears an engineer's speeding is likely to be what caused the fatal derailment of a New York City commuter train.
Cuomo made his comments Wednesday on New York public radio's 'Capitol Pressroom' show. Four people were killed and more than 60 others injured in the Sunday morning crash on a riverside curve in the Bronx.
The National Transportation Safety Board said the Metro-North Railroad train was travelling at more than 80 mph going into the curve, nearly three times the 30 mph speed limit.
Federal authorities are investigating what might have caused a commuter train to derail in New York City, killing four people and injuring more than 60 others.
The National Transportation Safety Board is probing Sunday's fatal Metro-North train crash. The agency says its investigators will spend up to 10 days looking into the crash.
Authorities say the train was rounding a riverside curve early Sunday when it derailed, toppling cars and throwing some riders from their seats.
A Canadian company has been awarded a nearly $165 million contract to build 300 New York City transit buses at its planned Plattsburgh facility.

Loved it!!!
This review is kind of sad to write because that means we are already back home and our vacation is over. What made our week stay so wonderful was this condo we stayed in. When we arrived we were really pleased at how beautiful and clean it was. It also had anything and everything you needed. We loved, loved, loved everything about it. The owner was wonderful to work with. We have stayed in many different places in this area and this has to be one of the best owners of property that we have dealt with. Yes, there were many stairs we had to go up but my husband and I laughed it off and figured this may be the exercise we were needing. Will definitely stay here again!!!
Absolutely Outstanding and AWESOME!
Let me just start out by saying that we have rented condos, cabins, hotel in several states at many different times. I don't think that I have ever had an owner be so kind, easy to deal with and pleasant this owner has been. The condo is at a FANTASTIC location. It is beautiful. You get both the river/woods view from the large balcony along with the smoky mountain view. It is fully stocked. Let me just point out a few more things: wif-fast, keyless entry, water pressure-great, quiet and safe area, two full bathrooms, large closets, & laundry. I am a scrapbooker and having the extra large dining room table was awesome! Plus it was close to the superstore! I cannot think of one thing that I was lacking during my stay, except for more vacation time to spend here. I will stay here again without a doubt, in fact I cannot wait to get back. Thank you to the owner for renting your beautiful place and for making our mini vacation time such a pleasant & relaxing one!!

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
No problem, it was said during the Jim Lehrer wrapup of the Republican convention last night. The liberal I mentioned was national columnist Mark Shields. The moderate (?) was NYT columnist David Brooks. Don't recall who did the "normal audience" studies, but todays polls showing the Bush candidacy has a healthy rise in approval ratings should provide some credance to my words saying Sen Miller's talk was very powerful and very credible.No, I heard it all. Sen Miller's speech was not an angry tirade. He made pointed, specific statements. He started with motherhood and apple pie statements that appeared to begin a fairly mundane political speech, including his statement that his family is most valued in his life. He said soldiers, not newsmen, give us freedom of the press; soldiers, not protestors, give us freedom of speech; soldiers who fight and lie in caskets under the flag who provide the misplaced right to abuse that flag. He was very emphatic in saying that, as a former Marine, he took great exception to U.S. military forces described as occupiers, versus liberators. He noted Sen Kerry's continual work to undermine intelligence; vote against weapon systems and programs; withhold supply of food, gasoline, personal protective armor, and other supplies; and weaken initiatives to attack terrorists. He later noted his previous support for former President Clinton, but said he had been disappointed there. Toward the end, he reviewed his personal relationship with President Bush, noted the President says what he means, had a spine of tempered steel, and Sen Miller said he would place the security of what he most valued--his family--in the President's hands.If in doubt, you might obtain and read a copy of the talk. I think it would be worth your time.By the way, I notice you have a problem typing "DiB", but I can't take that personally. After all, I notice you can't spell your own name either.DiB

Chicago White Sox: Albert Pujols
Abreu, Ramirez named Silver Sluggers
Abreu and Chicago White Sox teammate Alexei Ramirez both earned American League Silver Slugger Awards on Thursday, with the honor the latest on Abreu's ever-growing postseason list.
The first baseman's Silver Slugger Award can go alongside his Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award and his Players Choice Outstanding Rookie honor. He also is the favorite to land the Baseball Writers Association of America Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award, to be announced Monday.
The Silver Slugger is given to the top hitter in each league at every position after voting by major league managers and coaches.
In hitting 36 home runs with 107 RBIs and a major league-leading .581 slugging percentage, Abreu bettered the likes of Miguel Cabrera, Albert Pujols, Joe Mauer, Eric Hosmer and Edwin Encarnacion for the first-base award.
The 27-year-old had 10 years of experience in his native Cuba and definitely did not play like a rookie this past season. His home run total set a White Sox rookie record, and he became the first rookie in major league history to finish in the top five in all three Triple Crown categories.
He is the first rookie to win a Silver Slugger Award since Mike Trout in 2012.
Ramirez's rebound season earned him his second career Silver Slugger Award; the shortstop also won the honor in 2010. The only other White Sox players to win multiple Silver Slugger Awards are Frank Thomas (four), Carlton Fisk (three) and Magglio Ordonez (two).
The 33-year-old Ramirez led all regular American League shortstops with 15 home runs, 74 RBIs and a .408 slugging percentage. His .713 OPS was second to the Toronto Blue Jays' Jose Reyes. He also posted career bests in total bases (254) and extra-base hits (52).
Ramirez, whose hot start this season led to his first All-Star Game appearance, is the only White Sox shortstop ever to win the Silver Slugger Award.
It is the fourth time a pair of White Sox teammates won Silver Slugger Awards in the same season. Joe Crede and Jermaine Dye did it in 2006, Ordonez and Thomas accomplished the feat in 2000, and Julio Franco and Thomas did it in 1994.
Abreu starts collection of rookie honors
CHICAGO -- In a prelude to what is expected to be the result of the official American League Rookie of the Year award, the Chicago White Sox's Jose Abreu was honored Monday for his outstanding debut season.
The 27-year-old Abreu was named the Sporting News Rookie of the Year, a honor not related to the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award that is voted on by members of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Abreu earned 149 of a possible 160 votes to win the honor in balloting conducted among major league players. The Los Angeles Angels' Matt Shoemaker earned four votes, while New York Yankees teammates Dellin Betances and Masahiro Tanaka each earned three votes. The final vote went to Abreu's White Sox teammate Marcus Semien.
"For me, it means a lot that the players who play against me recognize my efforts and my numbers," Abreu said through an interpreter Monday via conference call. "I am thankful for all of them to give me support. I don't have words to describe what I'm feeling right now."
Abreu finished the season with a major league-leading .581 slugging percentage, while also posting a .383 on-base percentage in 145 games. He was second in the American League with a .964 OPS and second in total bases with 323.
Abreu's 36 home runs not only were a White Sox rookie record, they were also third most in the AL. He was also fourth in RBIs with 107 and fourth in extra-base hits with 73.
"When spring training started, I just [wanted] to be 100 percent for the season and be able to help the team win games," Abreu said. "When the season was finished and I had the opportunity to check my numbers, I feel very comfortable. Now, I prepare for whatever is in the future. The next award for me is OK. I'm very humble for all the accomplishments I had this year."
Abreu was uncomfortable talking about personal accomplishments all season long, constantly saying he was more in tune with the team aspect of the game.
"All the numbers all the stuff during the season was for me, my family, the White Sox," he said. "I don't have words to describe how I feel about this year. I am humble for all that stuff."
Abreu's power did wane during the final two months of the season as he participated in a 162-game season for the first time in his career. In his native Cuba, Abreu never had more than 312 at-bats in a season for his Cienfuegos club. He had 556 at-bats for the White Sox this past season.
His performance suggests even better numbers moving forward if he can pace himself for the long schedule.
"I really am not a person that follows the numbers from the past; I don't like to talk about it," Abreu said. "I will prepare every year to get the numbers I got this year and make them better."
Abreu became the first rookie in major league history to rank among the top five in his league in each Triple Crown category. He also joined Hal Trosky (1934), Ted Williams (1939) and Albert Pujols (2001) to hit at least 30 doubles, 30 home runs and collect 100 RBIs in a rookie season.
The last White Sox player to win the Sporting News rookie honor was Gordon Beckham in 2009. Abreu is also the 11th White Sox player to be honored with the rookie award from the publication.
The official American League and National League Rookie of the Year awards will be announced Nov. 10.
Pujols to Abreu: Don't change a thing
There is little denying, however, that Abreu enjoys similarities to Pujols, and the comparisons have grown with Abreu's White Sox and Pujols' Angels facing off this week in Chicago.
"He has the ability and the talent to do it," Pujols said. "This game is about making adjustments. It's the same game you play in your backyard. It's the same game you play in Little League. It's the same game you play in the minor leagues, Triple-A, and then you get into the big leagues.
"It's about being smart and making adjustments. That's one of the things I told him back in spring training: That it's no different than the game he played back in Cuba."
Abreu speaks of Pujols in reverent tones and has already expressed gratitude for the advice he received in Arizona.
Abreu has taken it from there, delivering one of the best starts to a career in major league history. His 26 home runs were the most in major league history form a player in his first 71 games, and his 67 RBIs were tied for sixth most with Wally Berger (1930) and Joe DiMaggio (1936).
But with Abreu, success never seems to be about him. He consistently mentions his faith and puts team results above all else. Yet there seems to be somebody else who inspires him to be the best baseball player and person he can be.
"Every time I hit a home run, I enjoy it, and more so because there's one person that really enjoys when I hit them, and that's my mother," Abreu said. "Every time I hit one, I know that she's happy."
Pujols has also provided inspiration. Comparing the two hitters might not be fair at this point, but it's so hard to avoid it.
"It's unfair, but it's fun," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I think that's what baseball's all about: comparing people. I think that happens all the time. Is it fair to put him in there? Probably not. That's a lot of expectations to put on him. But it's fun.
"You look at guys, you see the kind of year Jose's having, and people naturally would compare those two together. But the numbers Albert's put up have been crazy in itself. You'd like Jose to look to follow along that path if it's possible."
Pujols is definitely impressed with what he's seeing, especially after Abreu hit a home run on a line to right field in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
"He obviously has [a] real nice, short, compact swing," Pujols said. "He's obviously strong enough that he can use the entire field. He doesn't have to be a pull-happy guy.
"Look at that ball he hit yesterday. I mean, there aren't too many guys who can hit a ball out of the ballpark like that down the right-field line."
Pujols seems to think Abreu can be as good as he wants to be.
"It's up to him," Pujols said. "It's going to be about the more he's around the league, the more adjustment he's going to have to make. The pitchers are going to adjust to that; but as a hitter, it's our job to adjust, too.
"Myself, 14 years in the league and I still try to make adjustments every at-bat. You prepare yourself for a pitcher tonight, and sometimes, the approach is not the same you thought it would be, so you switch up during the game."
During the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, Pujols reached first base and appeared to talk to Abreu the entire time, even though he had to turn his head to do it since Abreu wasn't holding him on at the bag.
"He's a real nice kid; I like him," Pujols said. "You don't get much time on the base to talk. In Anaheim, I had a chance to talk to him for about 10 minutes. Just talking to him, catching up and seeing how he's adjusting to everything.
"It's tough, you know, not having his whole family here and coming to the States to play the game. It can be tough, but hopefully, he can continue to do it and stay healthy."
The hardest part seems to be everything off the field. On the field, it should be easy for Abreu, according to Pujols.
"He doesn't have to change anything," Pujols said. "Why change something that's working? He's really humble. I'm pretty sure he's a hard worker and dedicated and doesn't take anything for granted."
Advice key in Abreu's monster start
It's been obvious after 24 games what type of hitter Abreu is, but he just might be a better person.
"We had some great conversations," said Abreu, who also had a home run in the third inning for his third multihomer game of the young season. "We are both believers in God, and I want to take the opportunity to send Pujols congratulations for reaching 500 home runs. That's a great accomplishment, and he deserves that and a lot more."
Pujols hit his 500th career home run earlier in the week and Abreu is starting to show he just might have what it takes to get there too one day.
In fact, Abreu's second home run of Friday's game gave him nine in the opening month of the season to set a rookie record. Pujols was one of three players, along with Carlos Delgado and Kent Hrbek, who had shared the mark. Abreu simply caught and passed the group in one night.
And when Abreu's grand slam cleared the right-field fence off Tampa Bay Rays reliever Grant Balfour, it also allowed him to tie the rookie record for RBIs in March/April with 27. He now shares that mark with Pujols, and there are still five games remaining before the calendar flips to May.
While it might have been a bit blasphemous this spring to compare Abreu to somebody like Pujols, the similarities are becoming clearer by the week, the game and the inning.
"You can't script this, but you're talking about [a] guy [Abreu] who is very professional about what he does," manager Robin Ventura said. "He's not a normal rookie that doesn't know anything. He definitely knows what he's trying to do. I'm glad he's on our team."
Jose Abreu now in a 1-for-21 slide
Jose Abreu is 1-for-21 since his home run against the Indians a week ago.
It was not unexpected that he would have struggles as he transitions to a new league, it's just that his hot start and disciplined approach at the plate seemed to get everybody used to the idea that he would be able to handle himself just fine in the majors.
Wednesday's 0-for-6 performance, though, means that Abreu is 1-for-21 since hitting a home run in the fifth inning of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Indians. That homer was Abreu's second of the game.
Looking back, there were warning signs that he wasn't quite right at the plate. The night after his two-homer game he struck out twice against the Indians and three more times the following night.
Rapid Reaction: Angels 7, White Sox 2
Here's a quick look at the Los Angeles Angels' 7-2 win over the Chicago White Sox at Angel Stadium of Anaheim on Wednesday.
How it happened: White Sox starter Gavin Floyd suffered his worst start in nearly a month. He gave up 10 hits and seven runs in six innings. He had allowed a total of four runs over his previous four outings. Albert Pujols may just be breaking out his slump for the Angels. A game after going 3-for-4 with two RBIs, Pujols homered and drove in three runs against the White Sox. He gave the Angels a 4-2 lead with a three-run shot in the third inning for his second homer of the season. White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham snapped an 0-for-15 slump with an RBI double in the third inning. Dayan Viciedo had three hits, including a home run, for the White Sox. Jerome Williams picked up the win for the Angels.
What it means: The White Sox's pitching has been suspect for much of the last week, and it's been a mixture of starters and relievers who have struggled. In the last five games, the White Sox have allowed 59 hits and 36 runs.
Outside the box: Wednesday's loss guaranteed the White Sox at most a split in the two-game series with the Angels. It'll be the eighth consecutive series the White Sox have either split or lost. The last series they won came in a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners from April 20-22.
Up next: The White Sox will face the Angels in the finale of the two-game series at 2:35 p.m. CT Thursday. Chris Sale (3-2, 3.08) will start for the White Sox, and the Angels will counter with C.J. Wilson (4-3, 3.42).
Sale learns from facing Pujols
If you're a young pitcher, like Chicago White Sox starter Chris Sale, you might as well shake the butterflies out by facing baseball's best hitter.
Call the experience a learning curve for Sale who hit Albert Pujols in his first at bat then gave up a 480-foot homer the second time around.
"A hitter like him, he's arguably the best hitter in the game, so when you see [the catcher call for a] fastball in, you got to get it in," Sale said. "He proved a couple innings later that if you are going in, you better get it in."
Sale, attempting to make the transition from the bullpen to the rotation, has allowed eight earned runs in just 7 1/3 innings over his first two spring starts.
When told of his stat line, he responded, "what ? I've given up eight runs in eight innings that is un- acceptable on every level. I'm disappointed in what happened, but there were a lot of positives"
What, exactly, were those positives?
The Sox's left-hander went the deepest into a game of any starter this spring and was able to command his breaking pitches for the most part.
"You hopefully learn something," manager Robin Ventura said. "[Pujols is one of the best hitters to ever play in the game so it is good to see what he has got against him."
Ventura remains confident that Sale will get it together this spring.
"He still has great stuff and he is going to be in there," Ventura said.
Ventua said reliever Jesse Crain strained a right oblique muscle in the bullpen and was scratched from appearing in today's game. Crain will be re-evaluated on Thursday.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful Programs
We ordered our programs about a week before our wedding. We got them in 3 days! We were very impressed with the speed we received these in and also the quality! Everyone loved how beautiful they were!
I won these programs on the wedding the vibe website, and could not be more impressed with how these turned out. They will b the finishing touch to my beach themed wedding. The website was very easy to use, customer service was quick to answer any questioned I had, and my order was finished and shipped in a few days. I would recommend magnet street to anyone looking to purchase programs!
Very good quality
The process was easy to follow, save, edit, review, etc. No extra charge for changing the ink color in 2 spots. All in all I am extremely pleased. Only one comment, though, when it came the typeset was much smaller than what I had chosen, leaving quite a bit of space around the edges that could have been utilized with larger print.
Lovely and Classic
The programs came and are absolutely stunning. They will be a great addition to our ceremony. I used all of the "effortless emblem" line for our wedding invites, etc. It is truly simple and classic and so easily customizable.
I love magnet street!
These programs are perfect. Once again, magnet street delivers! I used them for my invitations too, and found the service to be quick and easy. I was able to easily switch out my colors and information on the website and then get help tweaking some things from a magnet street employee. I can't wait for everyone to see these programs! They loved the invitations and I have no doubt they will love the programs too!

Quotes on death of Bills owner Ralph Wilson
Reaction on the death Tuesday of Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson:
"He wasn't my boss, he was my friend. A magnificent guy to work with. Deeply saddened to hear about his passing. He meant so much to the game that both of us revered, and to the community of Buffalo and beyond. It's quite a loss, and he's going to be remembered so fondly by everyone who knew him." — Marv Levy, Bills Hall of Fame coach.
"Ralph Wilson was a driving force in developing pro football into America's most popular sport. He loved the game and took a chance on a startup league in 1960 as a founding owner of the American Football League. He brought his beloved Bills to western New York, and his commitment to the team's role in the community set the standard for the NFL. As a trusted adviser to his fellow league owners and the commissioner, Ralph always brought a principled and common-sense approach to issues." — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I was truly blessed to be around Mr. Wilson during the glory days. ... To have him in the locker room after a game, to see the excitement but also on the other side to see the disappointment of never winning a championship, but also coming into the locker room after big games, after Super Bowls, and always hearing him remind players, each one, that we wouldn't have got here without you. ... So I'm going to miss him, without a doubt. He used to call me his favorite son." — Thurman Thomas, Bills Hall of Fame running back.
"As two of the original members of the AFL's Foolish Club, my father and Ralph shared a unique bond and special friendship. I had the privilege of knowing Ralph and his family my entire life. His sense of humor was extraordinary, and his passion for the Buffalo Bills was remarkable." — Clark Hunt, Kansas City Chiefs chairman.
"Mr. Wilson truly was one of the great visionaries and caretakers of our game. He was a great Detroiter and has left a lasting legacy for the city of Buffalo and western New York. We lost a tremendous leader and a true friend today, and his contributions to the NFL will endure forever." — Tom Lewand, Detroit Lions president.
"On behalf of the entire Pro Football Hall of Fame family, we extend our deepest condolences to Ralph's wife Mary Wilson, the Bills community of fans, and all who love the game of football on the loss of such a great man, and a Hall-of-Famer for the ages." — David Baker, Pro Football Hall of Fame president.
"Ralph Wilson Jr. was cut from the same cloth as Lamar Hunt, a man I worked for in Kansas City for nearly 20 years. The historic AFL-NFL merger that these men brought to fruition more than 50 years ago helped make the NFL the pinnacle of sports that it is today, capturing our imaginations like little else." — Carl Peterson, USA Football Chairman.

The middle class has been demoted to lower class since the Reagan trickle down vodoo economics. The Great Recession caused by the one percent plutocrats had not helped.
Thanks to the compassion of Barack, the lower class are not hungry and can fall back on the Food Stamp program to feed their children. Thanks to the American voters in 2008, these 47% are not on their own as would be if sketch etcher has his way.

WOW! Clinton Warns Democrats "Many Lawmakers will be defeated if they go with Obama on Gun Control"

Interesting. Bill Clinton knows the power of this issue in many parts of the country. Many of the liberals who never get outside of their Leftist enclaves have no idea how strong the support for the 2nd Amendment is across America.
At a gathering of top Democratic donors, former President Bill Clinton issued a warning today that President Obama's Gun Control push could very well cost some Democrats in Congress their jobs in 2014 – if they choose to vote with Obama:
POLITICO: Former President Bill Clinton warned a group of top Democratic donors at a private Saturday meeting not to underestimate the passions that gun control stirs among many Americans.
"Do not patronize the passionate supporters of your opponents by looking down your nose at them," Clinton said.
"A lot of these people live in a world very different from the world lived in by the people proposing these things," Clinton said. "I know because I come from this world. . . .
And Clinton said that passing the 1994 federal assault weapons ban "devastated" more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers in the 1994 midterms — and cost then-Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D-Wash.) his job and his seat in Congress. . . .
Clinton closed his remarks with a warning to big Democratic donors that ultimately many Democratic lawmakers will be defeated if they choose to stand with the president. "Do not be self-congratulatory about how brave you for being for this" gun control push, he said. "The only brave people are the people who are going to lose their jobs if they vote with you." . . .

Objective On completion of this period you would be able to learn… • Properties of OOPS CM505.3 1 RECAP • What is the OOP? • What are the features of OOPS ? CM505.3 2 Properties of oops • Object • Class • Encapsulation • Data abstraction • Inheritence • Polymorphism CM505.3 3 Objects • Objects are the basic run time entities. • Can be defined as an identifiable entity with characteristics and behavior. • We are often surrounded by variety of objects like • computer • chair • telephone etc., CM505.3 4 Characteristics of Object • State • Behavior • Identity CM505.3 5 Characteristics of Object Example:- Consider the object telephone it has • a set of attributes like color, shape, and model etc., • Behaviour is that it announces a call. • Identity is the unique telephone number. CM505.3 6 Object communication • Objects interact with each other by sending messages to each other. • It occupies space in memory. • Each object is having its own address. CM505.3 7 Object communication • Each object contains data and some code to manipulate the data. • for example Object: Student DATA: Name Marks FUNCTIONS: Total Average CM505.3 8 Object communication • Objects have life cycle. • They can be created and destroyed. • Communication with an object is feasible as long as it is alive. CM505.3 9 Classes • It is defined as a collection of objects of similar type. • The set of data and code of an object can be made a user defined data type using a class. • In fact objects are variables of type class. • We can create any number of objects belonging to that defined class. CM505.3 10 Classes Example:- banana, apple and mango are the examples of members of class of fruit. • If fruit is defined as class then Fruit mango; Will create an object mango belonging to the class fruit. CM505.3 11 Encapsulation • The wrapping up of data and functions into single unit is known as 'ENCAPSULATION'. • The data is not accessible to outside world. • Only the member functions within the class can access the data. CM505.3 12 Encapsulation •These functions provide an interface between the object's data and the program. • This insulation of data from direct access by the program is called data hiding. CM505.3 13 Data Abstraction • Abstraction refers to the representation of essential features without including background details or explanations. • Since the classes use data abstraction they are also known as Abstract Data Type (ADT). CM505.3 14 Inheritance • It is the process of creating a new class from the existing class. • The new class inherits all the characteristics of the existing class. • It is like a hierarchical classification. CM505.3 15 Inheritance • We can add additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is known as reusability. • Each derived class shares common characteristics with the class from which it is derived. • The new class will have combined features of both the classes. CM505.3 16 Inheritance CM505.3 17 Polymorphism • The ability to take more than one form. • An operation may exhibit different behaviours in different instances. • The behaviour depends upon the types of data used in the operation. • Polymorphism is used extensively in implementing the inheritance. CM505.3 18 Polymorphism-Example CM505.3 19 Polymorphism-operator over loading •Consider the operation of addition. • For two numbers it generates a sum. • If the operands are string then the operation would produce a third string by concatenation. CM505.3 20 Polymorphism-operator over loading •The process of making an operator to exhibit different behaviours in different instances is known as operator overloading. • A single function name can be use to handle different members and different types of arguments. CM505.3 21 Polymorphism – function overloading • It is nothing but a particular word in having several different meanings depending on the context. • Using a single function name to perform different types of tasks is known as function overloading. CM505.3 22 Dynamic binding • It is also known as late binding. • The code associated with a given procedure is not known until the time of call at run time. CM505.3 23 Summary You have learnt… • Properties of OOPS. CM505.3 24 Frequently Asked Questions • What is an inheritance? • What is the polymorphism? • What is dynamic binding? CM505.3 25 Quiz 1 The insulation of data from direct access by the program is called as __________.

Declaring that he would have won, but just didn't want to put up with all the second-guessing and backstabbing, Colorado GOP Chair Dick Wadhams today told Fox 31 he is not running for another term.
"It's just time to move on," Wadhams said. "I'm excited about doing something new this election cycle; and, frankly, I just got tired of the people who see a conspiracy behind everything we do, people who don't have any clue what the role of the state party really is."
Wadhams was a target of frequent criticism last fall as the GOP lost control of a wild governor's race. After a plagiarism scandal ensnared the likely GOP nominee, Scott McInnis, the inexperienced Dan Maes eked out a primary win, only to be challenged by Tom Tancredo, who temporarily defected from the GOP to make a third-party run.
