Fredette family photo Jimmer's GFHS coach Tony Hammel looks back On coaching Jimmer: "Coaching Jimmer was like driving a luxury vehicle. When he was on the floor, I was confident and comfortable knowing everything was going to run smoothly. He was one of the most level-headed, humble, respected, committed players I have ever coached. "At the time we were all so focused on achieving our goals that I didn't really have an opportunity to enjoy how special that time was. It was one of the best times of my life and I hope Jimmer feels that way too." Did you think Jimmer would be this good? "I knew Jimmer was incredibly talented and I knew he would do very well at the Division I level, but if you asked me then if I thought he would be one of the best guards in the United States and on his way to a career in the NBA, I don't think I would have said that. "I knew then that when the going got tough, I could count on him to dig down and find another gear, more strength, more leadership and more of himself to leave on the floor. Incredibly I don't think we have seen the bottom of that well yet." What makes Jimmer special? "In our practices we use the quote `The will to win is important, but the will to prepare to win is vital.' That is exactly what makes Jimmer special and sets him apart. Winning is his goal, but he is intelligent, humble and determined enough to find a way to overcome all obstacles in his path. "He prepares to win every minute of every day. He's like a compass, always pointing to true North. That has not made him just a great and special basketball player -- that has made him a great and special human being, one I am honored and proud to say I know." Jimmer and Rollie Massimino, the former Villanova coach and 1955 UVM graduate. Fredette family photo Jimmer was ball boy for the 1999 Glens Falls team that won the Class B sectional title.

It will be a very special night, one of the most special nights I've ever had as a basketball player to play in my hometown again and to feel that emotion. "Hopefully everybody will be going crazy and hopefully it will be a good game and hopefully we will play well. That's what we're trying to do. Hopefully we will be able to give everybody a good show." "I think about all of the memories I have of playing in Glens Falls and all the fans and family and friends that I've been involved with my whole life -- the people who have really helped me get to where I am today. "I'm really excited to play this game, to see everybody and all of those familiar faces again in the Civic Center and playing in front of the hometown crowd again, just like in the sectional finals or the state finals. I am really looking forward to that and showing my appreciation to them. What will it be like to lead your team out onto the court in front of a packed house? Will you be able to block out your emotions and focus on the game? "It's great to have all of this hype around it and come back home and talk to everybody and have a good time, but once you get on the basketball floor, it's just like any other game. "You have to go out there and win. If you don't win, there's no sense in doing it. We're really excited to play, and we're looking forward to having a good game and playing well and giving the fans a good show." When you think back three years ago when you were in Glens Falls and a senior in high school, could you envision what is happening to you right now? "This is exactly what I envisioned. This is exactly where I wanted to be. I've always talked to my brother and my family about it. I had a goal to be on All-America lists in my junior year and be NBA-ready by my junior year, and that is exactly what I wanted to do and I felt like if I was able to do that, I would get some looks, and then by my senior year, I would have people looking at me very seriously. This is exactly how I wanted it to play out, and fortunately for me, I've been able to have it play out this way. "I am going to continue to work as hard as I can to get better and force people to see me out there and force people to want me on their team." Points Scored in a Game Rank/Name 1.

"We got the monkey off our back," Jimmer says. "We went beyond the first round last year, which was great," says Jimmer. "This year we want to go even farther and continue to progress as a team. We want to win the conference championship, which we haven't done since I've been there. We want to stay in the top 25 the whole year. And I want to make it to the Sweet 16." A hug for Mom after the big Florida win. Jimmer's dad Al stands right behind mom Kay. Jimmer's 37-point performance really put him on the radar screen nationally. More of what Jimmer is thinking: Gordon Woodworth's interview Chronicle News Editor Gordon Woodworth interviewed Jimmer Fredette at length before Jimmer returned for his senior year at Brigham Young University. Here are more excepts. Some of Jimmer's favorites Favorite NBA player: Deron Williams. Favorite non-basketball athlete: Either Derek Jeter or Peyton Manning Favorite NBA team: NY Knicks. Always liked them. If you could pick a team to draft you: Probably the Knicks, because I've liked them since I was a kid, and playing in Madison Square Garden would be great. And it's pretty close to home, so that would be a plus, to have family and friends be able to come to the games would be a good situation. How about the Celtics? Yeah, the Celtics would be great, too. You know (BYU great) Danny Ainge, right? Yes. I haven't talked to him since the workouts. I've talked to his son Austin, who works for the Celtics as well. We're good friends, and he was there when I was coming in for my freshman year. So I have good relationships with them, too, and that would be a great situation as well. Favorite sport other than basketball: Football Favorite movie: Shawshank Redemption Favorite TV show: Family Guy Favorite author: I like John Steinbeck, like The Pearl and Grapes of Wrath. Favorite actor: Robert DeNiro Favorite actress: Meryl Streep Favorite Meryl Streep movie: She's had a lot of good ones. I liked River Wild, Doubt, Devil Wears Prada. She's had a lot of good ones. Favorite musical group or artist: My brother Other than your brother: Joe Budden, he's just a rapper. Best concert you've ever seen: I've never been to a concert. Really? Yes. Why not? I don't know. It wasn't a huge interest. I could have gone. I never had an interest, I guess. Favorite video game: Used to be Super Mario back in the day. Favorite vacation spot: New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We used to go there as a family all the time, family vacations in spring break. My whole family would go, all of my cousins, and we would rent a place. Most memorable vacation: Probably those vacations in Florida. Those were the most fun. I used to love those. Invite any three people to dinner, living or deceased: George Washington, Chris Farley and Martin Luther King, Jr. The entire Northern Mechanical Services family of brands would like to welcome BYU and UVM to Glens Falls! Give Your Family Comfort, Security And Piece Of Mind 745-1537 Thoughts on BYU & his faith How important is your faith to you? It's very important. It's what you are on this planet for. You want to be a good person and do good things and try to be like Christ and do that type of work. So it's very, very important to do that and that is part of the reason I try to do as much good as I can and not worry about the pressures of basketball as much and have things in perspective. I think it helps you out as well. Best thing about going to BYU: I think just the atmosphere, just because everybody there is in the same boat, from the same religious background (Mormon). The atmosphere is great, to have all of those college kids in the same area and everybody loves sports and loves the area and loves being around each other. Favorite course: I really like Brother Bott, religion course. Doctrine in Covenance course. College major: American history.

You don't know what is going to happen. That was a really tough decision. Thirty years from now, what are you doing? Be done with basketball, hopefully retired, have a good family and some kids, and hopefully they are doing well, and kind of relax and hang out with the family and take vacations and play golf for a long time and have a good life.

"We used to play a lot of Army tag," Jimmer said. "It's like manhunt. We'd play in the neighborhood and we'd have about 20 kids and I used to love that. We used to play that all the time....Those were some of the best times of my life, just being out there with everybody and having a good time. No worries, no pressures. Just playin'." Jimmer laughs. When you think of Glens Falls, what is the first thing you think about? "Just home. Hometown. All of the memories I have. This will always be home, because I grew up in the same house, in the same place, my whole life. It's home." Most important thing you know? "That there is more to life than sports and basketball. You've got to be a good person and do the things that are right so you can accomplish what you want." Of his confidence but not cockiness, Jimmer says, "It comes from the good upbringing, and having a good family around you. Always having them push you to be better and to always be nice to people and to take everything in stride." Welcome to the Hometown Classic! Glens Falls Civic Center, Dec. 8, 2010 & GO JIMMER!

Paving the way for interstate travelers
Construction workers from all over converge on Southwest Florida to widen I-75
The machines are like giant metal insects. Crickets, scorpions, with tentacles for grabbing up the crumbled asphalt and mouths that shovel stray pebbles.
After dark, in the crossfire of streaking headlights and flickering strobes, amid the evenly spaced neon orange barrels and the grinding, plodding dump trucks, and the nomadic road workers with their vests and hard hats and burning cigarettes, the machines come to life.
"I was underneath in there," Jason Steible says as he looks at the scorpion machine, in the Interstate 75 median near Corkscrew Road. "You've got to change the teeth in it — they call it teeth, it's a metal object that eats the asphalt up — and a Jeep flipped over off the front of a broom tractor and skidded like 10 feet in front of me. That was probably the scariest.
"I'm watching it come toward me, upside down, sliding, and it has no control over where it goes."
This is a Wednesday, something like night 150 of the iROX project. Interstate traffic has been reduced to one lane in five spots along the 31.4-mile stretch due to be widened, and generally improved, between Golden Gate Parkway and Colonial Boulevard.
Steible's crew is building the third lane and an inside shoulder by Corkscrew. Theirs is one delegated sliver of tonight's work, which is in turn one sliver of the project, unfolding in tightly scheduled, subcontracted pieces. Mainly after dark.
It's Pat Curtis' job to watch over the whole enchilada.
He and his wife live in St. Cloud. But for the time being, Curtis, an employee of the contractor Anderson Columbia, is living out of a motel in Naples.
He's been on the job about three months. In that time, he's put 17,000 miles on his white pickup. Mainly just driving up and down the iROX segment on the night shift, checking on lane closures, making sure sheriff's deputies from Lee and Collier counties or Florida Highway Patrol troopers are posted at just the right spots. Or showing up to help when a piece of equipment breaks down or a car plows into a guard rail.
You think you know the interstate well? Try a guy who paces up and down the thing for hours, knows how its upper layers absorb rainwater, smells it when the asphalt is still steaming and gooey.
"This country's always going to be a country on the go. No matter what recession we go through, no matter what occurs, we're always going to have traffic," Curtis says that Wednesday. "(And) you're always going to have people repairing the interstate. It's the life of the animal."
For the hundreds of drivers streaming through the five lane closures, this particular day's work was likely indecipherable. Another night under the monolithic Southwest Florida construction.
But here's what was going on: A fleet of dump trucks looped between a small mountain range of dirt, tucked back from the southbound side near Bonita Beach Road, and an emerging retention pond across the interstate. More dump trucks towed limerock from a quarry on Alico Road to a section being widened on the northbound side in Collier County.
Pavers slabbed a thin, shiny layer of a black adhesive on the northbound on-ramp of Bonita Beach Road before laying down a fresh layer of asphalt.
And up by Corkscrew, Steible's crew took over the median.
It isn't just about the widening. In fact, a bunch of that's already done.
Drive along portions of I-75 in Lee or Collier and notice the seam in the middle of the asphalt. Your right half is in what will become the shoulder. Your left half is in part of the new outer lane.
In some places, they've not only laid out those lanes, they've even built up the new one and what will be the inner shoulder. But there's plenty of work left to keep them busy the next couple years.
Workers are outfitting the interstate with cameras, Curtis says, to help monitor traffic flow and look for crashes or break-downs. They're creating retention ponds to keep water from running off the road and contaminating the wetlands.
Along several exit ramps, troopers and deputies will now have paved inlets to stow wrecked cars so they don't tie up traffic during accident investigations.
The workers themselves, in their jeans and work boots and reflective vests, are from all over Florida. And beyond. This is one of the things Curtis says he likes best about his job — the diverse array of co-workers.
On this night, a weathered-looking man in a hooded sweatshirt trailed after a paving machine on the Bonita Beach Road on-ramp, raking and smoothing down the curdles of black asphalt. A woman in heavy boots worked at his side.
The machine moved up the ramp slowly, flanked by a handful of workers who shoveled and pressed and steered the new ground into place.
Further up at Corkscrew, a pickup bounced down the median, past Steible's group, and the workers in the back called out hello.
They come from all over, and they've been all over, patching up and resurfacing interstates and roads from here to Louisiana.
"It's adventurous," Steible, of St. Petersburg, says. "I'm pretty much a single man."
And in the end, he gets to drive down the Interstate-4 corridor, say, and see how the asphalt lays just right and know, 'I did that.'
Along the way, the workers see a different side of us, the drivers. Curtis says he knows we consider these our roads, and his folks a massive imposition. It's kind of obvious when we blast through at 80 miles an hour. A few feet from the toes of their work boots.
"You're always listening. Even though my head's turned, I'm always listening," Curtis says. "Squeal of the tires, the change of the motor, the racing of the engine."
Then, if you're Curtis, you run.

Dry eye
posted 7 years ago
This is good for chronic dry eye. We see it alot in cockers, shih tzus, and sometimes other dogs when they get older. This helps replace their tears and seems to help relieve the dry eye from it.
Pros: helps in dry eyes or irritated eyes
Cons: sometimes dogs don't like stuff put in eyes

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Gramercy Park Hotel
2 Lexington Avenue, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Gramercy Park
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
You can call the Gramercy Park Hotel a "hip hotel" if you want to — it's just that these days hip means something very different from what it used to. Nowadays interiors as cold and white as upholstered ice are commonplace, and a hotel just isn't a proper boutique unless its lobby is overflowing with forced architectural whimsy and its bar is overflowing with the sort of people who exist only to be photographed at parties.
That sort of thing used to be cool, as ludicrous as it sounds. But the new cool looks something like this: not the desiccated atmosphere of a furniture showroom but rather an eclectic, bohemian approach, like someplace a very successful artist might live — someone like, say, Julian Schnabel, who by an extraordinary coincidence happens to have designed the interiors at the Gramercy Park Hotel, along with the famous British architect John Pawson. And instead of a velvet rope lined with vapid party people, you'll have some genuine exclusivity about the place: a bar for drinks and socializing, not staged photo ops.
If this is indeed the new face of the boutique hotel, then the coming years, as competitors scramble to imitate the place, will be happy ones: we're all for bigger, more livable rooms, bathrooms spacious enough to function properly, professional service, an art collection straight out of MoMA, and a tinge of nostalgia for the refined glamour of prewar (or at least pre-disco) Manhattan.
Among the Gramercy Park's attractions is Maialino, by the award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack), with designs by David Rockwell and inspired by Meyer's love of Italy. The hotel also offers the Rose and Jade bars, the spa and fitness center and, of course, the park: guests have access to Gramercy Park itself, the only private park in Manhattan.

What I liked:
The location was perfect. The decor is unique. Thanks to the Tablet Plus we received a complimentary room upgrade in a very spaceful suite. The Bathroom could have been more confortable! The shower/bath enclosure facing the window had no heater making it hard to shower during winter. We enjoyed the American breakfast with fresh fruit and delicious pastries

The Next Stage Of Heart Function Testing
New highly sensitive technique gives better clues to future cardiac events in heart patients
A new non-invasive technique for measuring how well the heart and blood vessels function in patients already suffering from coronary artery disease could, in a single test, identify which abnormally narrowed blood vessels are the most likely to lead to further cardiovascular complications. According to Dr. Aaron So, at Lawson Health Research Institute and Robarts Research Institute in London, Canada, and colleagues, their technique could reveal functional problems in the circulatory system below the limit of detection of the currently most sensitive method, invasive angiography (or blood vessel x-ray). The work is published online in Springer's journal European Radiology.
Dr. So and colleagues developed a quantitative non-invasive method – Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced CT (DCE-CT) with quantitative CT perfusion analysis – to assess the functional relevance of coronary artery stenosis, or abnormal narrowing of blood vessels i.e. which are the most likely to cause problems for patients in the future. Coronary stenoses that limit blood flow during exercise or drug-induced vasodilation diminish the amount of blood available to the cardiovascular system and are therefore likely to lead to significant coronary lesions.
A total of twenty-six 53- to 71-year-old patients with existing coronary artery disease took part in the study. The researchers assessed the degree of stenosis in their coronary arteries and classified them into one of four categories: non stenosed; moderately stenosed; severely stenosed; and severely stenosed with blood fed from an adjacent coronary artery. They then used their new DCE-CT technique to measure 'myocardial perfusion reserve' and 'myocardial volume reserve' – measures of blood flow during maximum coronary vessel dilation induced by exercise or drugs – and calculate the ratio of the two and its relationship with coronary stenosis classification.
Their results show that the ratio of 'myocardial perfusion reserve' to 'myocardial volume reserve' is the best predictor of severe stenosis. The new technique demonstrates an excellent sensitivity, able to detect 50 percent or greater narrowing of the coronary arteries.
The authors conclude: "This new technique could play an important role in the evaluation of the likelihood of future cardiac events in patients with intermediate to advanced risk of coronary artery disease, allowing timely and appropriate intervention."

Pune: Anti corruption Bureau (Pune unit) has arrested Pune district Malaria Officer and her assistant for allegedly accepting Rs 20,000 from a suspended medical officer for allowing him to resume work.
The arrested persons have been identified as Dr. Sujata Pardeshi, who is district Malaria officer and her assistant Bhau Jadhav.
Deputy commissioner of police (ACB), Sarang Avhad said, "Complainant was suspended by arrested person Pardeshi for remaining absent from work. To allow him to rejoin duty, Pardeshi and Jadhav demanded Rs 20,000 and also to provide him medical fitness certificate. Complainant approached us on Tuesday and on Wednesday around 8am, we laid a trap at District Malaria office and caught them red handed accepting the bribe amount."
He added, "While searching Dr Pardeshi house, we found Rs1.20 lakh cash kept in her house and has Rs 5 lakh in her bank account. Apart from this she owns property worth of Rs50 lakh. There are chances that additional disappropriation of assets cases will be registered against her."

THEY could well be the world's smelliest magnets. Grazing cows tend to align north-south, according to a new study of 308 herds based on satellite photos from Google Earth.
The animals' orientation suggests that, like migratory birds, sea turtles and monarch butterflies, they can sense the Earth's magnetic field, says Hynek Burda, a biologist at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany.
Even rookie cowboys know that cattle in a herd tend to align themselves in the same general direction. Some researchers have argued that the animals are basking in the sun, avoiding wind, or huddling together to stay warm. Yet in the 10,000 years since humans domesticated cattle, their geomagnetic sensitivity has gone unnoticed, or at least unrecorded, Burda says.
His team scoured satellite images of herds on six continents, identifying more than 8000 beef and dairy cows, and found that the cows' orientations weren't random. The average size of ...

Ukraine president pledges ceasefire in separatist east
Published on Jun 18, 2014 6:57 PM
KIEV (AFP) - Ukraine's new President Petro Poroshenko announced on Wednesday that he would soon order a unilateral ceasefire in the separatist east to help end the 10-week pro-Russian insurgency.
He took a further step toward relieving tensions with Russia by deciding to replace acting Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsya - a hate figure in Moscow - with his current envoy to ongoing OSCE-mediate negotiations with the Kremlin.
But the Western-backed leader also appealed for US and EU help to secure his crisis-torn country's porous border with Russia and stem the influx of arms and militants into the conflict zone.
"The peace plan begins with my order for a unilateral ceasefire," the Interfax-Ukraine news agency quoted Poroshenko as saying.

2 killed, dozens injured in bus crash near Dallas
IRVING, Texas At least two people were killed and more than 40 were hospitalized Thursday after a charter bus careened off a North Texas highway and flipped onto its side, drawing a large emergency response as rescue crews struggled to reach victims inside, authorities said.
The Cardinal Coach Line bus was carrying mostly senior citizens when it suddenly weaved across the busy highway, striking two concrete barriers, and toppled over in the center median, witnesses said. The wreck occurred along President George Bush Turnpike in Irving, just east of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
Among those killed was the organizer of the trip.
"It was pretty bad, people screaming," said Ed Cluck, who stopped after driving by the wreck and seeing smoke. He said he popped the bus' roof hatches and helped six to eight people escape.
"It was just people stacked on top of each other," he said.
"It's just a lot of injuries, a lot of people in shock, broken bones," added Robert Hare, another motorist who stopped to help. He said many passengers were crying and appeared to be in shock as they were pulled from the wreckage.
The bus, which was carrying about 45 people, was on its way to a casino in Oklahoma, authorities said.
Killed in the crash were Paula Hahn, 69, of Fort Worth, and Sue Taylor, 81, of Hurst, a Fort Worth suburb, said Trooper Lonny Haschel of the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Taylor, known to passengers as "Casino Sue," had organized the trip to the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Okla., and had organized such trips for about 10 years, daughter Marsha Taylor told The Dallas Morning News earlier Thursday.
Authorities said 41 other people were taken to local hospitals, many of them suffering from fractured bones. The 15 worst injured were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, where four were listed in critical condition Thursday night.
Emergency vehicles were seen swarming the bus as it lay in the grassy center median, and ladders were being used to access the vehicle. The cause of the accident has not been determined, but the National Transportation Safety Board said it was sending investigators to the scene.
Cardinal Coach has reported no accidents in the last two years that resulted in deaths or injuries, according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. A man who answered the phone at the company's offices in Mansfield, just south of Dallas, confirmed that one of its five buses was involved in the crash but said he didn't have time to talk because he was trying to get information about the crash.
Law enforcement officers were interviewing bus passengers and drivers who witnessed the crash. The wreck occurred near a highway interchange, so traffic was snarled for several miles.
"We ended up swirling and weaving and then ended up on the side," passenger Daniel Risik, 73, told The Dallas Morning News. "People were screaming and hollering, a very traumatic situation to say the least.
"People were piled on top of each other," he said. "It was unbelievable. A lady had pinned me. Rescue got there and started pulling people out of a roof emergency hatch. People were hollering, screaming, there was blood all over the place. It was unbelievable."

Diabetes Health Center
Could More Coffee Lower Your Odds for Diabetes?
"However, as with everything else, the message is not drinking coffee to prevent diabetes, but rather balancing all good elements in life so they can all be used and consumed with moderation," he said.
Dr. Spyros Mezitis, an endocrinologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said a drawback of the study is that the data was all self-reported by the participants.
"You don't know if they are telling the truth," he said.
Moreover, weight loss and exercise are more effective ways to reduce diabetes risk than drinking more coffee, Mezitis said.
"I am not recommending that anyone drink coffee to prevent diabetes," he said.
For the study, Hu's team collected data from three major U.S. studies: the Nurses' Health studies of 1986-2006 and 1991-2007, and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study of 1986-2006.
Study participants completed questionnaires every four years that included their coffee and tea intake. Overall, 7,269 cases of type 2 diabetes were reported.
The researchers calculated that people who increased their coffee consumption by more than one cup a day for four years reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes over the next four years by 11 percent compared with those who didn't boost their daily coffee intake.
However, people who drank at one less cup of coffee or more daily over the four years had a 17 percent higher risk for diabetes in the subsequent four years, the researchers said.
Hu's group defined a cup of coffee as 8 ounces of coffee, black or with a small amount of milk and/or sugar. Drinking coffee loaded with sugar or cream may reduce any benefit coffee may have in reducing diabetes risk, Hu said.
The findings only applied to caffeinated coffee. Decaffeinated coffee and caffeinated tea weren't associated with changes in risk for type 2 diabetes, the researchers said.
Dr. Alyson Myers, an endocrinologist at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., said coffee alone might not account for the reduced diabetes risk.
"It is unclear if the extra cup of coffee may cause these patients to eat less, as they may become full faster," she said.
Noting that the study consisted of health care professionals, Myers said the results might not reflect the entire population. Also, the study doesn't address physical activity. "Perhaps those who drank caffeinated coffee had the energy to work out more," she said.

Legacy FC made its first foray into the world of kickboxing on Friday night, and its debut wasn't short of highlights.
Turning the calendar for a new year brings countless resolutions and new motivations for people to change their lives.
Fans, media, and even UFC fixtures like Joe Rogan and Dana White have been known to urge fighters to retire. Whether they appreciate that or view it as "completely patronizing," they don't always hear what we want them to.
Former UFC heavyweight Pat Barry has no trouble recalling the first time he realized that his fiancee, upcoming UFC title challenger Rose Namajunas, might be a special fighter.
After a story on a Roufusport amateur kickboxer who died in an event promoted by the team, several ex-team members have lodged serious accusations against head coach Duke Roufus, who tells MMAjunkie he's saddened and surprised by their comments.
Former UFC fighter and veteran kickboxer Pat Barry has agreed to fight at the debut event for Legacy FC's new kickboxing division.
In this week's Twitter Mailbag it's Bellator, Bellator, Bellator. We also find some time to discuss UFC-related issues, from big Tim Sylvia to Brock Lesnar's plea on behalf of Pat Barry.

I'd like to make a suggestion. When I go to "Earning" it tells me how much I've sold but doesn't show me which items the sales are for. It's a pain trying to figure out what item sold.
Knowing which items I'm selling helps me decide what is needed in the marketplace using my talents and what I should create. Is there a way to make this process easier?
Well you sort of have that feature already in the 'portfolio' tab. I think it's better to keep them broken up.
hi fandomfilms.
What Klanda is trying to tell you…. is that you have that feature already here in Envato.
Just go to your profile…. there you will see the different tabs… (like Earnings).... go to the tab: Statement….. you will see there what you sold and when.
hope that helped.
Thank you. I didn't know that was there. A+

I was a passenger in a car on Thursday morning, and we stopped for a fill-up at a gas station on North Charles Street in Baltimore, a block up from North Avenue. I was on the phone while the driver purchased and pumped the gasoline. A young, male panhandler tried to make eye contact with me through the passenger's side window, but I avoided being drawn into his tractor beam.
Some panhandlers appear broken and docile, some seem impatient and even angry; some have yellow heroin eyes or some other form of medicated stare. This one seemed a little frustrated by a series of rush-hour rejections.

In an exclusive TCR interview, Osama Bin Laden's widow, Amal Ahmed Abdul Fatah, revealed how horrified she was when the Navy Seals arrived at their Pakistan home. Ironically, it wasn't the weapons fire or stealth helicopters that frightened his young wife, but the idea of visitors arriving unannounced while her house was "such a mess." Amal said she begged the Seals for a few minutes to straighten up her bedroom, "but they thought I was trying to protect Osama, and shot me in the leg – no hard feelings, though. I can see how my actions could have been misinterpreted."
"Osama was such a slob," she said. "He grew up in this wealthy family and never learned to pick up after himself. Then, he was living in Afghan caves where they just threw trash on the floor and peed off the side of a cliff. You would think he was raised in a barn."
Amal said she "apologized profusely to Navy Seals about all the crap on the floor, but the news media went ahead and released video of her trashed house for the world to see. I was horrified! My mother won't even return my calls now." Amal explained she was duped by her husband with promises of a million dollar mansion near a golf course, "but the place was a total dump." Once, I tried to apply for a home equity loan to at least put a coat of paint on the walls and buy some new rugs, but the loan officer at Bank of America asked if 'this was some kind of sick joke?' when I listed my husband's name on the application. It was probably a waste of time even trying. For a trust fund baby, Osama had terrible credit."
Amal said her frustration had reached a fevered pitch by the time the Seals arrived. "All Osama would do was sit on his butt watching recorded videos of himself on TV day and night. Honestly, I think he had the hots for that Brooke Baldwin on CNN. If I ever objected, he would rebuke me, and say not to disturb him while he was working. Yeah right.
The bum never took me anywhere for the last five years. He was too cheap to buy a satellite dish, so I was stuck at home watching the same DVDs over and over again. Viewing the Simpsons Season 14 boxed set, I would dream of being married to an open-minded, attentive husband like Homer. Marge is such a lucky woman. I guess I've always had bad luck with men. My sisters say I'm subconsciously attracted to deadbeats."
When Amal learned about our upcoming exclusive interview with Muammar Gaddafi, she asked if we would pass along her phone number and newly created Match.com profile URL to the "Libyan bad boy." Amal said, "Tell him I'm single again. I kind of have a thing for older guys."

A good starting point for combination of beach and city. The lido is within walking distance and Venedig by boat only a couple of minutes and you are in the Markusplatz. Hotels in Venedig very expensive and one must its claims runterschreiben. At least you got in this hotel still relatively much achievement for a reasonable rate. Since first forgave a you the basic amenities, the no 4 star level do it justice. Also the breakfast corresponds to a maximum of a 3-star level. But one of the staff exemplary care and each desire is fulfilled. read hotel review

Great starting point for Venedig sightseeing and beach holiday in combination. The beach is within walking distance and offers excellent conditions for friends of baden. Venedig is in a few minutes with the bus boat during distance. The hotel convinced through friendly staff and is very servicestark. Since first forgave a you the simple standard, the was offered here. Small rooms, adequate and functional. Small bathroom with odd mini bathtub, the shower functioned. The breakfast buffet was the character does not do it justice. It is simple and is more like a mini breakfast. Even a boiled egg is no ... standard, but should be extra 3 Euro costs. read hotel review

2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Q&A
2001 Oldsmobile Aurora Question: oil pressure sensor location 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5L SFI 6cyl
oil pressure sensor location 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora 3.5L SFI 6cyl - Mr.Grump
Answer 1
Found this online: Finding the part was virtually impossible. I obained a copy of the GM shop manuals to locate it in pictures and diagrams. Even with them it wasn't easy. To find and replace the part, you will need to raise the front end of the car (Use stable Jackstands on both sides of the car...work safely). I didn't find any way to reach the part from the engine compartment. Engine position. For directions about where to find the part let's use the following: 1) Engine "forward" is where the serpentine belt is. Forward faces the right wheel well..(passenger side). 2) Right side of engine faces the firewall. 3) "Front Half of engine" is closer to right wheel, "Rear Half" is closer to left wheel (driver's side). 1) Laying on your back looking up , the part can be found about 1 to 1 1/2 feet up from the frame on the Right Front Half side of the engine block. (wear glasses to protect your eyes from falling crud) 2) There is a wire connection with a locking clip holding the connector onto the oil pressure sensor switch. There are 3 connections inside the plug. Remove the connector. If you cannot see the locking clip, it's probably on the other side, out of your sight. 3) You'll need to navigate a 1 1/16" 6 point deep well socket over the part. To get to it you'll need to work around the frame. 4) Once the socket is on the part, I connected a 3" extension to the socket and a socket wrench with a flexible head to the extension. (I happened to use 1/2" drive...3/8's may work) 5) Loosen the part enough to hand turn it out, then remove the wrench, extension, and socket....you may need to take them off one at a time. 6) Remove the part by hand, install the new part by hand (it's brass so be careful), tighten it down with the socket wrench, connect the wiring connector and you should be good to go. 7) Start the engine and check the pressure. It should be reading something other than 0 or 131. I hope this works for you.....if you can find an easier way, that would be great. I just wanted to provide a much simpler way to change out the oil pressure switch on the 2001 Aurora with the 3.5L. 1 - Jack up and support the right front of the vehicle. 2 - Remove the right front tire wheel assembly. 3 - Unclip the oil pressure switch harness. When you look into the RF wheel well you will see the oil pressure switch on the rear of the engine, right above the outboard CV shaft boot about 3" - 4". You can reach in the wheel well opening and unclip the harness. 4 - Remove the oil pressure switch. I used a 1-1/16 inch socket, swivel, two 8-inch extensions and the ratchet to remove the switch. I ran it between the convertor and frame rail and guided it through the wheel well opening onto the switch. 5 - Install the new switch, torque to spec, and reclipp the oil pressure switch harness. 6 - Reinstall the wheel, torque to 100 ft-lb, and remove the jack stand. - raiderron

Oklahoma Attorneys Offering Free Nationwide Depakote Birth Defect Claim Reviews and Resources
The law firm of Atkins & Markoff, a team of Oklahoma defective drug attorneys, hereby announces that the firm is reviewing claims free of charge regarding Depakote birth defects along with a full Depakote resource at http://www.atkinsandmarkoff.com. Depakote is an anticonvulsant or antiepileptic drug that has recently been found to lead to birth defetcs when used during pregnancy.
Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) April 27, 2011
The Oklahoma law firm of Atkins & Markoff hereby announces that it has added a Depakote resource page to its Web site and that the law firm is reviewing claims regarding alleged Depakote birth defects free of charge in furtherance of this effort to communicate the potential dangers of taking this anticonvulsant medication during pregnancy.
Specifically, Depakote side effects have allegedly included the risk for children whose mothers used Depakote during pregnancy to be born with one or more severe birth defects ("Birth Defects Related to Depakote and Similar Drugs", Dec 2009, fda.gov). The reason for this risk is because of the presence of valproic acid in the medication. The FDA has specifically warned the public of these risks in a statement released in December of 2009 entitled "Valproate Sodium and related products (valproic acid and divalproex sodium): Risk of Birth Defects".
Depakote class action lawsuits have been filed in Madison County, IL against the manufacturer of Depakote, Abott Laboratories. More than a dozen parents of children born with birth defects have joined this class action lawsuit. Birth defects that have been alleged in Depakote lawsuits that have been filed (St. Clair County Circuit Court Case No. 10-L-651 and No. 11-L-143) include, but are not limited to Neural Tube Defects, Spina Bifida, Cleft Palate, Cleft Lip, Heart Malformations, Brain Malformations, and even Fetal Death. These are major birth defects that will affect these children for the rest of their lives and require costly medical treatment. These Depakote lawsuits seek compensation for these type of expenses and other damages associated with Depakote birth defects.
There have been other Depakote side effects alleged by parents of children born with birth defects, but those above represent examples of problems that pose a high risk for the infant.
In addition, Atkins & Markoff has added a resource page designed to provide an overview of Depakote, its uses, its label warnings, its alleged side effects and how to go about hiring a Depakote lawyer. The Depakote attorneys at the firm are also offering a free initial consultation for parents of children who were born with birth defects that may have been caused by the use of Depakote while pregnant.

Phil Everly and brother were architects of harmony
NEW YORK (AP) — Art Garfunkel answered the door to his Manhattan apartment holding a framed black-and-white picture of two smiling men. It was a test.
Correctly identifying Phil and Don Everly in the picture would reveal me as a journalist knowledgeable about music and the roots of Garfunkel's career. Flustered, I failed. It should have been obvious.
The Everly Brothers, who will blend their voices no more following Phil's death at 74 Friday from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, were the architects of rock 'n' roll harmony. Simon & Garfunkel were unimaginable without them. John Lennon and Paul McCartney took their cues, too. Their harmonies (and don't forget George Harrison) formed the bedrock of the Beatles' sound.
Like Garfunkel, Phil sang the high notes. He had the lighter colored hair. He would step away from the microphone, like on "Cathy's Clown," to let older brother Don sing a few lines alone and you noticed how unremarkable Don's voice was unadorned. Only when that voice merged with his brother's as a single, new voice did it become special.
The Everly Brothers' reign on the pop charts was relatively short, from the mid-1950s until the British Invasion swept in a new generation in the early 1960s. The Everlys receded, but it was plain the newcomers had been listening.
Sweet as they sounded, their hits resonated because they taught a huge post-World War II generation as it was growing up that love wasn't all roses, blue skies and candy. "Bye bye love," they sang. "Bye bye happiness. Hello loneliness. I think I'm a-gonna cry."
In the sumptuous "All I Have to Do is Dream," the romance is frustratingly unrequited. "I need you so, that I could die," they sang. "When Will I Be Loved," they wondered. Even success was fraught with worry: the couple in "Wake Up Little Susie" fretted over whether anyone would believe their excuses when they fell asleep watching a movie.
With their two acoustic guitars and a sound that referenced rock and country, the Everlys would be categorized today and be mostly on the country music charts. Thankfully, things were freer when they were young and their music was heard by everyone.
Phil and Don Everly pioneered another rock staple: feuding partners, often brothers, who were never as compelling apart as they were together. Phil famously threw down his guitar and walked offstage during a 1973 gig in California, prompting Don to tell the crowd, "The Everly Brothers died 10 years ago." Ray and Dave Davies of the Kinks carried on that fractious tradition, as did Noel and Liam Gallagher of Oasis.
Simon & Garfunkel invited the Everly Brothers to be their opening act for a 2003 tour. Paul Simon, often exasperated by his on-again, off-again partner and quite accomplished on his own, couldn't help but be amused by the irony of two partnerships where real-life harmony didn't match what was onstage. Phil and Don hadn't seen each other for three years before meeting in the parking lot before the first show.

Julia's Cure Project: The Big Closet Clean Out & Makeover
Liveblogging the January Cure
You guys, this picture is not the easiest for me to show you, both logistically — because it's in a narrow hall with no natural light — and because it's not exactly a source of pride for me (I'm cringing as I look at it). I couldn't quite muster the nerve to broadcast a full frontal, but I think you get the gist. It's gotten very Grey Gardens in there or maybe it's more Sanford & Son. Either way, I'm in for a long afternoon.

DIY Ideas:Closet Hangers with Panache
I've been working on my closet for some time now, trying to figure out how to maximize space and make it feel less utilitarian and more glamorous.

A Bit Of Control: Organizing The Closet
When the world (or at least our little corner of it) seems too overwhelming and chaotic, it's tempting to exert some control. That control can take different forms for each person, ranging from healthy conflict management to dangerous eating disorders, with a bit of bossiness thrown in for good measure. In an effort to stay on the healthy, pleasant-to-be-around end of the spectrum, I tackled the closet...

After having caused consternation with his observations on China on his first day here, the Dalai Lama on Monday reverted to his spiritual role of tending to the sick and preaching to the flock at this border town, barely two hours drive from the border with China.
Seen from the Tawang town bazaar just below the snowline where trees give up their fight against nature, the gathering of the faithful appeared like a giant smudge of burnt ochre. Over 10,000 Buddhists dressed snugly in variations of the maroon cloth Chuba, the long wraparound robes worn by a people in a wide swathe of the upper Himalayan belt, listened intently as the Dalai Lama dwelt on Buddhist theology.
His sixth trip to the modest Tawang Monastery and his first in six years has aroused curiosity, given the exchanges between India and China over disputed areas which was quickly followed by a series of high-level meetings to bring down temperatures and revert focus on other, equally weighty, aspects of bilateral ties.
Tawang still remains bemused after being overrun by the faithful and the media but appears regaining its composure with the departure of the TV crews as the Dalai Lama refused to entertain the media and, instead, reached out to the ordinary Buddhists who had trekked or had been bussed by the State government from remote parts of this equally remote State.
They were being given company by the rich among the Buddhists many of whom had arrived in sports utility vehicles, several brand new, being by-products of the recent Assembly elections in Arunachal Pradesh.
With the Central government offering every courtesy in the book to the Dalai Lama and turning away most foreigners, the Tawang sojourn has avoided becoming another export version event. None of the famous, from Hollywood or assorted exotic fields, who have attached themselves to the Dalai Lama since the mid-80s were around to take the shine away from the piety of the simple hill folk who had paid thrice or four times the going fare to glimpse the man.
Compared to the high octane reception on Sunday which included Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Dorjee Khandu, almost his entire Cabinet and senior army officers from this essentially army garrison town, the Dalai Lama divided the day between a spiritual discourse, planting saplings, inaugurating a monastery school library and consecrating an outpatients' ward.
He wrapped up his usual seven-hour day in the public by checking in at the Tawang Monastery where spiritual and material sprucing up has been under way for some time to make his stay memorable.
While Jokhang, Ganden, Sera and Drepung, all in Tibet, are monasteries with histories dating back to several centuries, Galden Namgey Lhatse is only three centuries old and came up during the fag-end of the intermittent rule that the Dalai Lamas have exercised briefly, this time in a patron-client relationship with the descendents of Ghushri Khan.
As piety reigned and army trucks stayed out of sight, the Dalai Lama and his entourage finally had the satisfaction of revisiting the monastery where he had stayed for two nights 50 years ago after fleeing from Lhasa, but after obliquely crossing New Delhi's Rubicon of not commenting on political issues or border disputes.
