Palin, the anti-Hillary
It's about time that either political party found the antithesis to Hillary Clinton. Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air and an admirable woman. John McCain hit the jackpot with his choice for vice president.
Amy Doville
Day was wrong; McCain was right
As usual, Bill Day was a bit quick on the trigger with his Sept. 4 cartoon showing the Republicans on the "Bridge to Nowhere" with Sarah Palin as their VP pick. Obviously he had drawn this cartoon before her speech to the Republican National Convention. She knocked 'em dead and basically flipped off the liberal press, The Commercial Appeal included. Hooray for her.
Sarah Palin could very well be the first woman president. If so, we will be in safe hands. Good choice, John McCain.
Larry Reed
A hero for Chuck Norris?
After watching Gov. Sarah Palin's speech, I have to retract my earlier thoughts that she was not the right choice for McCain. I now believe Chuck Norris wears Sarah Palin pajamas.
Brian Dickey
Palin and dose of Pepto-Bismol
As I watched the tens of thousands of white people and the dozen or so black people cheer Sarah Palin at the Xcel Energy Center Wednesday night, I wondered a few things:
Do all these jolly folks believe, as Palin does, that planet Earth is merely 6,000 years old and that human beings and dinosaurs lived together in the Garden of Eden?
Do they believe, as she does, that law should require this be taught as fact in high school science classes?
Do they believe, as she does, that government should force a raped woman to bring the rapist's offspring to term?
Do they believe, as she does, that government censorship of public library books is a good thing?
After considering these questions, I got a headache. I switched my focus to the current state-by-state presidential polls. I discovered that Barack Obama is currently losing all the states that were part of the Confederacy, most of them by double digits, and I thought it an odd coincidence.
I am still proud to be an American, no doubt. But sometimes, keeping that pride intact requires a few aspirin, and occasionally some Pepto-Bismol.
Todd Campbell
Palin's scary view of God and Iraq
Sarah Palin's statement that we are in Iraq because God wanted us to intrude into another sovereign nation and kill their people creates a situation that will be another Korea or Vietnam or worse.
I believe her statement is almost like the statements made by Muslim clerics and such, who in all their wisdom incite and fan the flames of war by saying God wanted us to. I am sure those who have lost their lives and their loved ones are happy that they have been doing God's work. A modern-day crusade, wouldn't you say?
That makes me feel better as a Vietnam veteran. Now I can finally justify all that we went through as doing God's work.
Thank you, Governor Palin, for clarifying that for us. You are one scary person.

Obama: all talk and no action
I am still in shock that the Democrats have nominated Barack Obama for president. He has a message of hope and change, and yet I am still amazed that he is a presidential nominee.
First, hope needs to be grounded in some sort of experience. I believe it's just false hope to believe that someone who has so little experience, like Obama, can actually accomplish anything. The Democrats have selected someone who frankly has not done anything.
What has he done during his nearly four years in the U.S. Senate? He has passed no bills and chaired no committee hearings. That's a mighty thin rope to attach hope to.
Second, Obama proclaims himself an agent of change. Yet change in Washington comes only by reaching across the aisle and accomplishing things in a bipartisan manner. Has Obama ever worked with the Republicans on legislation during his four years in the Senate? None that I can recall.
I believe that before you can push a message of change, you need to have tried to change something. I am concerned that this message is all talk and no action.

RNC: a study in polarization
While watching the Republican National Convention Tuesday night, I sat in total astonishment. I searched the crowd with fervor, pausing the picture on my screen, to no avail. I concluded that diversity was not there. The Republican Party overlooked its own memo, that the RNC was supposed to be about unifying the country. It was in stark comparison to the DNC, which had a very diverse crowd, young and old, all genders, and most definitely all nationalities.
I guess "the maverick" isn't about unity after all. The RNC was less about unity and more about polarization, with the haves proudly divided from the have-nots.
Nations all over the world are watching this election. We Americans showed Tuesday night that not only are we not a united country, we are actually a polarized country. Anyone who says this is pulling the race card is ignoring the proverbial 20,000-plus elephants in the room.
Troas Smith-Cleveland
Running on a platform of fear
I'm fed up with the reruns of "Fear Factor" and "Scare Tactics."
I don't mean the silly TV reality shows. I'm referring to the Republican National Convention. It seems that every Republican running for any office since 9/11 has had one message only: "Vote for me or a terrorist will get you!"
A bit of perspective is needed.
First, more people in America have been killed by lightning strikes in our nation's history than by terrorists. Every month more people die in automobile accidents in the United States than have died in terrorist attacks in the past 232 years. We are constantly told "we haven't had a terrorist attack since 9/11. Look how safe we've kept you." Never mind that we didn't have any terrorist attacks in the previous 225 years, either. I guess George Washington was pretty good on homeland security, too.
I don't mean this as an endorsement of anybody, and I have the utmost respect for John McCain. I am just sick of the GOP's one-hit-wonder leaders whose only tune is "Be afraid, be very afraid." I'm sorry McCain has gone along with this scare tactic. It's not becoming of a brave servant of our country.
We need to quit being a nation of paranoids who fear that a boogeyman will jump out of our closets and get us, and focus on the real scary things, such as gas and utility costs, education, repairing our wrecked economy and getting on with the business of living outside a cage of fear.
Because of our irrational fears we endure hours of harassment and humiliation in boarding a plane, we have given up many of our precious liberties, and we have lost our perspective on the things that are really a threat to us as a people.
Jim Brasfield
Study 'Shack' before moving in
Your Aug. 22 article on "The Shack" reminded me that a couple of relatives contacted me recently urging me to buy and read this book. They said it was a New York Times Best-Seller and was a great story.
Since I had not heard of the book nor its author, and because of my personal disdain for "religious fiction," other than works of John Bunyan or C.S. Lewis, I decided to do some investigation.
After some rather extensive research, I determined that while the book may be an easy and sentimental read, it is fraught with major Biblical, historical, theological and doctrinal errors, particularly concerning the doctrines of God and the Trinity.
I would encourage any who may contemplate reading this book to do some honest investigation.
If they do, I am convinced they will conclude, as I have, that "The Shack" is a very dangerous book and quite contrary to Biblical Christianity.

The British Library provides access to a number of catalogues and research resources relating to radio.
The British Library's radio collections were assembled over several decades from a wide range of sources. While many of these sub-collections can be explored through the Sound Archive's online catalogue, others currently require the use of separate finding aids. Recently acquired material will be undergoing preservation work or processing and may only be accessed with the assistance of Library staff. If in doubt, please contact the Sound Archive Information Service or Radio Curator for advice.
A wide range of published book and periodical literature, theses, handbooks and studies of broadcasting history are available in the British Library's Humanities - floor 2 reading room, with much more available on request via the Integrated Catalogue.
Sound and Moving Image catalogue
The online catalogue details a significant proportion of the Library's radio holdings and, whatever your sphere of interest, we suggest that you begin your search here. Users should note that whilst programming has often been catalogued by programme name and transmission date, in other cases a programme's key content may have been catalogued separately.
In Advanced Search mode try combining the programme title [e.g. 'Sounds of Jazz' or 'The Anathemata'] or the number of a particular collection [e.g. C134] in Any Words and Numbers with the name of a key contributor/performer [e.g. Stan Tracey, Wole Soyinka]. If this is not successful or produces too many hits, instead try combining the contributor name alone with the year of transmission (or a range of years) using the convention '<1986' for programmes before the indicated date, or '>1986' for programmes after the indicated date. We do not recommend restricting your search using the Collection or Broad Classn term 'Radio' at the present time.
Alternatively, if these and similar search strategies fail, please contact the British Library's Radio curator for advice.
BBC Sound Archive catalogue
The British Library's Listening and Viewing Service also provides listening access to the collections of the BBC Sound Archive. The BBC Sound Archive Catalogue can currently only be accessed in the British Library's Humanities - floor 2 reading room, where printed catalogues or microfiche (shelfmark HUS025.348209421) detailing pre-1992 holdings can be browsed. Alternatively, users may ask Reference Enquiry Service staff to search the electronic version of the catalogue on their behalf.
In many cases, particularly prior to the early-1950s when most programming was transmitted live, only pre-recorded inserts or excerpts from a programme may survive, in which case you should try searching for particular contributors or subjects rather than by the original programme title.
Archived post-1992 material which is not yet detailed in the catalogue may still be available on request if you can provide the correct programme title, channel and transmission date/time. A complete set of Radio Times and other library materials are available in the Humanities - floor 2 reading room to assist such research.
BBC Radio International catalogues
The British Library also holds an extensive collection of BBC Radio International (formerly BBC Transcription Service) recordings, 1940s-present. These programmes, derived from national programming or specially recorded for the purpose, were pressed on disc or CD for issue to BBC Transcription Service subscribers – typically other radio stations around the world. Issues from the 1950s onwards are documented in a set of approximately fifty lever-arch files which are available on request from the Humanities - floor 2 Reference Enquiries desk. The catalogues are organised according to subject content or genre:
- Children (q.v. Education)
- Drama (initially Features & Drama; with sub-series Sixty Minute Theatre, World Theatre, etc)
- Education (many also issued as Talks, Magazine Units)
- Features (initially Features & Drama)
- Light Entertainment / Comedy (initially Variety)
- Light Music (including jazz, folk music, and pre-1971 rock)
- Magazine Units / The Magazine (including sub-series The Arts Worldwide)
- Popular Music / Pop and Rock / Pop Documentaries / In Concert / On Stage (q.v. Light Music for pre-1971 popular music)
- Readings (including sub-series: Book Club, Short Stories, Story Time)
- Religion (many also issued as Serious Music and Features)
- Serious Music / Classical Music (including series Talking About Music)
- Talks (including sub-series: Arts & Entertainment, Magazine Units, Mainly for Women, Science, Short Stories)

Pam Woolford
We should never be afraid to do new things in our lives. Life is too short to just sit around. Follow your dreams even though you don't know where they will lead to, at least you'll know you have given it your best shot. It is so much better to have a partner in life to do these things in your life, Who knows what joy you could have with another, until you try.God Bless to allBeauty28

Hold on tight to what you have
don't let go because of fear
You can't be sure what will happen
signs of danger have yet to appear
Climb the highest mountains together
though you're not sure what lies ahead
You can't always make it to the top
both endeavour to do your very best
Walking on fire can burn your feet
watch where you step in your lives
stand up for what you believe in
don't do what others do
Foundations under you as a couple
keep you from drifting apart
Not every race you run you'll win
be satisfied knowing you both tried hard
If the time is right to build a life together
never be afraid to risk opening up your hearts
You'll never know what joy you could have
until you've been joined as husband and wife

American Idol
Jessica Sanchez and American Idol 2013 Hopeful Lazaro Arbos are Twitter Besties!
If you've ever heard Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show, you know he's hinted at the fact some American Idol hopefuls let the media attention go to their heads. Happily, it's nice to know that last year's runner-up, Jessica Sanchez, is just as sweet and humble as we remember.
The soon-to-be Glee actress leaves sweet messages on Twitter for American Idol 2013 contestant Lazaro Arbos, the hopeful who stole our hearts when he auditioned in Chicago. The Cuban-born Miami resident has suffered from a stutter since he was six years old, but when he went to sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water," he stunned the judges with not only a beautiful voice but no stammer.
According to Americanidolnet.com, the two singers are "acquainted in real life," as one can see from the photos of them on Twitter.
"She's such a beautiful person inside and out!!" tweeted Lazaro.
"why do I love you so much?!?! Oh yeah, cause you're amazing Muah! x" Jessica replied via Twitter.
We'll get more chances to fall in love with Lazaro as well, as he allegedly makes it into the Top 20.
Who do you think is the nicest American Idol alum?

In Photoshop CS6 for Photographers, author, photographer, and teacher Chris Orwig explores Photoshop from the perspective of the photographer.
The course details the features and techniques behind enhancing and retouching photos, preparing them for print and online publishing, and much more. Chris demonstrates how to make basic edits in Camera Raw, develop and save color profiles, work with layers and selections, tone and sharpen, and retouch images while retaining their natural character.
Chris also shares some creative tips and project ideas, such as converting a photo to black-and-white and enhancing a portrait with hand-painted masks. The course also covers workflow details, such as organizing images in Bridge and Mini Bridge, optimizing Photoshop preferences, and calibrating your monitor.
As we saw in the previous movies, sometimes that powerful Replace Color adjustment, well, it works just perfectly. In other situations what we're going to need to do is to combine some of our other techniques together in order to come up with the best results most efficiently, and let's take a look at how we can do that here with this portrait of this person who I really admire. He's a famous drummer and just a great person. You can see it in his eyes and in the smile on his face. The colors that I want to change here are on his shirt, and also on his hat.
So let's start off by duplicating the Background layer. We can do so by pressing Command+J or Ctrl+J. That's Command+J on a Mac, Ctrl+J on Windows. Next double-click in the layer name and let's name this new layer, shirt. Well, here in order to change the stripes what I'm going to do is navigate to the Image pulldown menu and then choose Adjustments and then Replace Color. In the Replace Color dialog, as you know, you can click on a color, say they like the stripes here and then change the Fuzziness amount in order to ensure that you have a good healthy selection, and also you want to make sure Localized Color Clusters is off.
Otherwise, as you can see here, well, it's selecting his hat partially. I don't want that. I just want those stripes, because I want these stripes to have a specific Hue. Here I'll go ahead and change them and you can see how we can modify this and what I'm looking for is something which is kind of like a nice navy blue. So I'll go ahead and change that color and then also the Saturation a little bit in order to dial that in. Well, now that we've made this adjustment, the next thing I want to do is focus in on the hat, and the reason why I need to do these two adjustments separately is because they're different brightness values, and if were to change them together, well, I just wouldn't have enough specific control.
So we make one adjustment as we've done here. We'll go ahead and click OK. The next adjustment I want to make is to his hat. Now I could go back to Replace Color, and we could try that by going to Image > Adjustments and then selecting that option. Yet in doing so if we're to click on his hat, we would quickly discover that there are other colors it'd pick up and it just wouldn't create that good of a selection. Moreover, if we start to see this it's going to be complicated, we want to think about, well, what else could I do? Well, the hats are pretty well-defined shape, why don't we just select it, and then create a mask and modify the color with an adjustment layer.
Well, let's do just that. Here we'll go ahead and zoom in on the image a little bit, by pressing Command+Plus on a Mac, Ctrl+Plus on Windows. Next, choose the Quick Select tool. Here we want a nice small brush, so you can press your left bracket key in order to have a small brush, and just click-and-drag around the hat in order to build up a selection of just that object. Now whenever you use Quick Select as we've learned previously, you always want to go to Refine Edge. Here in Refine Edge we can change the View.
One nice view might be On White as I have in order to see those edges, because those edges, they don't look very good. Turn on Smart Radius and just increase that a little bit. We can also Smooth this out maybe a couple points, a little bit of Feather, and then add some Contrast to those edges. Okay great. Well, we now have a good selection of the hat and we made that selection really easily, perhaps more easily had we used Replace Color. Next, we'll click OK just to output this to a selection.
Well, now that we have the hat selected, we could then click on one of our Adjustment layers. For example, we could try Hue/Saturation. Hue/Saturation has an option called Colorize which we've seen previously and this is great because it allows us to change the color really easily, and let's go for something which has a nice blue. We can control the Opacity of that and also the Lightness or darkness of that particular color that we're trying to modify. Here I'm just looking for a color, which is a little bit say closer to the color that we have on the shirt.
By doing this, by customizing these two tones, it allows me to then dial this in, in real specific ways. You know sometimes when it comes to making changes to your photographs like this, it's all about knowing which tools to use and sometimes it means using the tool perhaps like Replace Color or using some of your other skills that you've already developed in regards to selections, and masking, and Adjustment layers as we have here. Alright, well, now that we've made these adjustments, let's go ahead and take a look at our overall progress. Here it is.
There is before and now here's after. And by making those changes, you know what we've done, we've really changed the overall mood or expression of this image. And that's what's so interesting about making adjustments like this, is you can really modify or change your photographs in some fascinating ways. The other advantage to doing this is that we have some flexibility. In other words, we can always lower the Opacity or turn off these layers, if we don't like those adjustments. So when you're seeking to make adjustments which are pretty significant like this, always do them in a way that has some built-in flexibility so that you can change this after the fact, in case you don't like those adjustments.
Well, here at this image I think these adjustments are kind of fun and they work well. So with this particular project, it's a wrap.

Active Standard: D7345 - 14
Developed by Subcommittee: D02.08 | Committee D02 | Contact Staff Manager
1. Rationale
ASTM International Committee D02 and the Energy Institute (formerly the Institute of Petroleum) Test Methods Standardization (TMS) Committee have a long history of cooperation and have developed a number of joint and/or technically equivalent standards and interlaboratory study programs. Both ASTM and EI participated in the interlaboratory study which produced RR:D02-1621, which is the basis for the precision stated in D7345 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products at Atmospheric Pressure (Micro Distillation Method), with the intent that this was a joint program, as discussed at meetings during the design of the interlaboratory study. During the development of the micro distillation method, both ASTM and EI had drafted their own versions which were harmonized, with both progressing through their separate balloting processes, with the intent that they would eventually be jointed. ASTM and EI have now developed a formal guideline for how this jointing process is to occur, which is the reason for this ballot. The guidelines outline that should the two organizations desire to work towards a joint standard or interlaboratory study than each organization should proceed through an approval process. For ASTM that requires a 2/3 approval of the subcommittee members, at a meeting or by letter ballot, and then approval of the committees executive subcommittee. Since this approval process is somewhat behind schedule, as the jointing agreement and development work had already been established prior to the new guidelines, it appears that the prudent course is to letter ballot the approval of the subcommittee now, for anticipated submission for approval of the executive subcommittee at the upcoming meeting in December 2009.

The FDA late yesterday approved GlaxoSmithKline's drug Votrient for use in patients with soft-tissue sarcoma, Dow Jones Newswires reports. This is the first new treatment in decades for the cancer. The National Cancer Institute estimates 11,000 cases of soft tissue sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
Votrient, a tablet taken orally, is already on the U.S. market to treat advanced kidney cancer. It was approved to treat several subtypes of advanced soft-tissue sarcoma, after prior chemotherapy... Read More

Welcome Letter
The American Thoracic Society International Conference is about connections. The connection between pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine. The connection between these subspecialties and virtually every other field of medicine. The connection between basic, translational, and clinical research. And, most important, the connection between health care professionals and patients.
Because it engages attendees across disciplines and continents, the ATS International Conference draws a large, diverse group of attendees. By virtue of its size—ATS 2013 will feature more than 5,300 original research projects and case reports, 400 sessions, and 800 speakers—the International Conference is intense, with participants attending sessions and special events from early morning to the evening.
Many attendees are noted experts in their fields, others are in the early years of their medical and scientific careers. All are excited by the prospect of acquiring knowledge that will help them better care for patients or advance their research projects. Throughout the International Conference, attendees will have the chance to meet new and old colleagues. Don't miss the following important events:
- Fifth Annual ATS Foundation Research Program Benefit honoring Gerard M. Turino, MD, 2013 Recipient of the ATS Foundation Breathing for Life Award on Saturday
- Awards Ceremony and Amberson Lecture, Sunday at 4:45 pm featuring David A. Schwartz, MD, Chair of the Department of Medicine at the University of Colorado
- Plenary Session on Tuesday providing information on the current state, and plans for the future of the Society
- Science Core Track which is a thematically linked set of symposia and posters focused on lung injury and repair
- Discussion of research in critical care and pulmonary medicine recently published in JAMA and NEJM
- Your Assembly Membership Meetings
These connections create a sense of community among the International Conference attendees, which is exactly what the founders of the American Thoracic Society had hoped for when in 1905 they established the world's first respiratory society.
We wish to acknowledge the hard work and outstanding efforts of the members of the International Conference Committee, the Education Committee, and the Assembly Program Committees as well as the ATS staff. The success of our meeting depends on the support of these dedicated individuals. We hope you take advantage of all that the Conference and Philadelphia have to offer.
We look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia.

But the proposal has met fierce opposition from New York bottlers and vendors. "New Yorkers know that taxes don't make people healthy, they cost jobs and hurt working families. This is a job-killing tax that will devastate grocers and other retailers," insists Nelson Eusebio, the chairman of New Yorkers Against Unfair Taxes.
Paterson's proposal has, however, gained the support of New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. On Sunday, Mr. Bloomberg urged state legislators to levy a 1% tax on sugary soft drinks sold in the state. "An extra 12 cents on a can of soda would raise nearly $1 billion, allowing us to keep community health services open and teachers in the classroom. And, at the same time, it would help us fight a major problem plaguing our children: obesity," he said.
Bloomberg has a history of successful campaigning on public health issues. In 2003, he faced down fierce opposition to introduce a smoking ban in New York City's bars and restaurants. The ban proved a roaring success and was cited by many anti-smoking advocates in England before it adopted its own smoking ban in 2007.
So is a UK tax on soft drinks likely? Watch this space...

See all the way to the bottom....
What can I say. Everyone online is basically trying to sell themselves and like products not all live up to their advanced billing. With me what you see is what you get. What you hear is not a sales pitch. I genuinely do not know how to play games. At least the psychological games between two people was never programmed I to my DNA.
I only know how to give all of me. To love deeply, to live passionately and you wont have to worry about me playing games. Since I don't want to wonder does she or doesn't she, I wont play those games either. I'm a true romantic at heart.
I strive for perfection, but know its not possible. I've never cheated and never will. In me you will find your most passionate lover, your greatest cheerleader, your shoulder to lean on when times are tough, the hug when you need it most and most of all your best friend. That's what I'm capable of giving and would hope to get most, if not all in return.
If I had five words to describe myself, or if my friends and exes had the challenge, I think the five would be.....
Passionate - I am passionate in everything I do. If you don't live life to its fullest I think something is missing or passing me by.
Intelligent - I think there is a difference between book smarts and street smarts. I think I have a bit of both, but consider myself more bright than smart. I try to be able to converse with anyone about any topic they choose. So far in life I have done pretty good in this area.
Loyal - as one friend said of me, if he is your friend he is your friend for life. I choose my friends carefully and never think of myself as having lots of friends. My friends are like family. I truly would drop everything and go anywhere in the world at the drop of a hat.
Caring/Compassionate - If you don't have these two qualities which I count as one, then I truly believe you are a soulless person. I feel for those in need and am willing to help when needed. Kids and older people a like, like me.
Cultured - I am inquisitive and nosy, but in a good way. I want to know as much about everything and if I am asking questions it isnt to pry, but to learn and get to know about you or about something I don't yet know.
Genuine - I am adding a sixth. I am who I am take me or leave me. When I look at my report cards from as far back as kindergarten they describe me the same way then as I am today.

Help out by adding one. We have some cool tools that make it easy.
Category: Breakfast
Pani KeKe - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Kristin Pishdadi
Samoan Pancakes, a yummy treat from the south pacific islands. More of a desert than a breakfast.
2 bananas : very ripe
3½ cups flour
1¼ cups sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1½ cups water
Mash the two bananas. (Using your hands, to mash the bananas, is best because the banana sticks to other utensils and you end up wasting the banana when you clean up.)
Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Combine dry ingredients with the banana mush and fold the mixture (don't mix or use a mixer). Add the water to make the folding easier until there are no more ingredients that are dry.
Heat oil on the stove in a small sauce pan (2 qt. pot) that can fit six to eight egg-sized pancakes and is deep enough to cover the pancakes in oil. (Use medium heating do not burn the oil)
Add the mixture with a greased spoon when the oil is hot. Cook six to eight egg-sized pancakes at a time. Remove from oil when dark brown. Place on a paper towel and eat when you can stand the heat. (Careful Very Hot!!)
Hint: When the oil is ready, grease the spoon (dip your spoon in the hot grease so the mixture doesn't stick as you are dropping it in the oil) and drop a small test pancake, about the size of a cockroach (Samoan cockroach not a US cockroach), in the mixture. If the pancake pops up to the top of the oil immediately the oil is hot enough and ready. However, if the pancake turns brown to fast, your oil is probably too hot.
They're delicious if you eat them while they're still warm. I like to break it open and eat it with a little bit of Strawberry Jam.

Meghan was very detailed and explained things extremely well. I also felt she was reasonable and took the time to talk to me and clearly explained my options. I highly recommend Meghan!!!!!
Posted by Andrea
I recently hired Miss Gulczynski for an issue with a tenant. She took my case very seriously, was very responsive to my numerous questions and requests for information and kept me informed about my best options as the case was developing. She was very open and upfront about her fees and made the process of working with her very easy. She won my case and I would work with her in the future without hesitation.
Posted by Lisa
Ms. Gulczynski did an amazing job on our home closing. She was very knowledgeable and made sure we were covered against anything that could go wrong. She was extremely responsive to all of our questions and made us feel very comfortable during what is usually a very stressful experience. We were kept in the loop at every turn and she explained every document, response, and letter to us before she sent anything out. I highly recommend Ms. Gulczynski and will definitely retain her services going foward.
Posted by a Landlord & Tenant client
Meghan did a horrible job at representing me on a landlord-tenant case and effectively lost me my case.
She did not make me feel comfortable and was not organized enough to write down the details of my case.
Throughout the months that I worked with her; leading up to, during and after the trial, she failed to give me clear information. She did not tell me what to anticipate during the trial, did not cross-exam the person that I was suing, and failed to give me options following the case. When I lost the case, she rubbed it in my face that I chose to use certain documentation and told me that the only option that I had was to settle out of court.
She also was extremely difficult to get in touch and did not return my phone calls. It seems like her office was too swamped with cases that she did not have an adequate amount of time to work on mine.
I would never again choose to work with Meghan.
Posted by Jason
From the time I first conferred with Meghan Gulcynski about my landlord-tenant issue, she has struck me as a counselor who listens closely, thinks clearly, and really tries to put the best interests of her client before all else. I've been very happy with her deep and at-the-ready knowledge of landlord and tenant law; and I've appreciated her patience in hearing out my issues fully before giving me sound, and often very practical, advice. She is trustworthy and professional; and for me it has been reassuring to have her working on my side. In my particular case, Meghan has explained to me my various legal rights; worked on important letters; explained statutes; and walked me through me how and when to act and negotiate with my opposing party. She's also been quick and responsive when I've called her for strategy or advice. It also has become clear to me that Meghan benefits greatly from years of experience in her field; it shows.
Posted by a Real Estate client
I was a landlord that needed help with a tenant situation and I had no clue where to go. After a few searches on google, Meghan's practice came up so I took a chance and gave them a call and was directed to Meghan, given her expertise in what I needed. Even though my situation did not command very high fees, Meghan was still very helpful in explaining the appropriate procedures to take and was extremely responsive. It was clear she has had a lot of experience and takes a very methodical and prudent approach to cases that she takes on. After 1-2 months of engagements, my situation was resolved efficiently. Throughout the process Meghan provided excellent advisory services and was available to discuss my case at any moment. Hopefully I will not require many legal services in the future but if I do, I would absolutely explore Meghan's ability to provide such services to me as I was very impressed and satisfied with my experience with her.

And the winner is...
Posted by Greg Tepper on 7 December 2012
It was as hotly contested a Player of the Week ballot as we have ever seen on TexasFootball.com. But with more than 100,000 votes cast, the winner of the Week 13 Gridiron Legends Player of the Week is...
Wolfforth Frenship RB D'Maujeric Tucker.
Tucker was outstanding in leading the Tigers to a win over Waco, shaking off a foot injury to run for a whopping 386 yards and three touchdowns for the Tigers.
Tucker narrowly beat out New Boston's Jeff Gladney for the honor. Tucker is now on the ballot for the Gridirion Legends High School Player of the Year, to be awarded at halftime of the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas.
Congratulations to D'Maujeric and the Tigers!

The situation in Thailand involving a cabbie murder with an alleged GTA connection grows increasingly bizarre...
Yesterday we mentioned a Cnet Asia report that the Thai Ministry of Health (left) had issued a list of 10 violent video games to avoid. You can see it here, in Thai.
Can't read Thai? Me neither. Here's the list in English, as translated by Cnet's Jesada Chandraprasert:
2- Man Hunt
3- Scarface
4- 50 Cent - Bullet Proof
5- 300
6- The Godfather
7- Killer 7
8- Resident Evil 4
9- God of War
10- Hitman
Back in December GamePolitics criticized Detroit Prosecutor Kym Worthy for a.) blaming her city's crime on video games, and b.) issuing an outdated list of violent games to avoid. Here's Worthy's unworthy list:
1. Grand Theft Auto
2. Manhunt
3. Scarface
4. 50 Cent Bulletproof
5. 300
6. The Godfather
7. Killer-7
8. Resident Evil 4
9. God of War
10. Hitman Blood Money
Notice anything?
They're the same list. The only difference is that Worthy's Hitman Blood Money morphs to Hitman on the Thai Ministry list, while Grand Theft Auto is simply written as GTA. That could be a result of imprecise translation by Chandraprasert.
So, is Thailand turning to Detroit to help solve its crime problem?
The more likely answer is that Thai bureaucrats are simply grabbing material from the Web in order to support a video game crackdown by the government.

Very smooth cutting with little vibration. Stop wavering and buy this jig saw. You will not find a better built saw under 50 bucks.

Comments about Tradesman 6.0 Amp Orbital Jigsaw:
Nice saw. Although not a half a grand saw, for what CPO sells them for, how could you not buy one. First one arrived with a bent foot. Don't know how that got passed any kind of quality inspection, but it did. Called CPO, talked to a very nice and friendly customer service rep, who instructed me on procedure to return. Mailed it off ( their shipping label) and 5 days later received and excellent condition replacement. Even though the first one was bad, the return exchange was handled very professionally and timely. That's the best reason for doing business with CPO, if you're not happy, then they are not happy. Simple ! This is the 3rd tool that I have purchased from CPO, and would not hesitate to buy anything from them. Nice clean tools, that look brand new, and perhaps some of the bugs worked out of them. Why buy new from big box stores, when you can buy from someplace ( CPO )that wants all of their customers happy with their purchases.

Comments about Tradesman 6.0 Amp Orbital Jigsaw:
I purchased this to replace an old B&D M47 series Jigsaw. Think I bought that back around 1988 or so. Its getting worn. Looked at the new B&D and a Craftsman Jig Saws. And decided to go with the Porter Cable. It feels more Solid and powerful. The other model I Considered was a Makita. But that had a lower Amperage motor. And doesn't have the LED lamp.
Another thing, This model is listed as fitting Both U and T style blades. T definitely fits. The U(From my old B&D) don't want to fit. Maybe its an newly designed U shank on the PC?? Or a worn blade from the old saw.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kiki6390 from Dissapointed I love everything about ELF including their eyeshadow but this eyeshadow missed the mark. The fall out was horrible and the color was muddy. Did not like at all. More make up landed on my cheek than any eye color I have ever used. This is unlike any ELF product in quality. It must be a fluke or mass mistake on their part....all of their their products are usually fabulous. I have the purple line.

Rated 3 out of 5 by sopadegalets from good team. A part from the mascara, which doesn't work too much for me, the other products are good enough for the price. The pencil is smooth, the brush does its job, the eyeshadows are pretty pigmented, and they are matte. I didn't try the falsies, but they look like too much plastic...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Karyn from Great set! I bought this set for my first test of E.L.F make up. I am amazed how well the make-up goes on. Definitely not wet and wild quality, thank goodness! Mascara makes my eyelash volume ten fold, loved the colors 345046-1 and 35406-3 in ?the eye shadows (looking for replacements without having to buy the set again??) And the false eyelashes are shaped beautifully and held on all through the night. Very happy with the products and the price!

Rated 3 out of 5 by mehweeh from It's alright I'm giving this a 3 stars because I was a little disappointed with this set even though I got it 50% off. I got this in brown since I'm a sucker for neutrals. The eyeshadows and pencil liner were a disappointment for me. The colours barely showed even if I tried to build it up. It was too sheer for me. The eyeliner couldn't even line my waterline and creased when I put in on my upper eyelids. I have yet to try it with a primer but it creased on me within an hour so I don't even want to bother. Everything is else is great. I was really surprised with the mascara and eyeshadow brush. I was a little iffy with the mascara since it's a cheap brand, but it did alright. It is not something I would use everyday. It did clump but that can be fixed with a spoolie brush. The eyeshadow brush was probably my favourite. No shedding and picked up products well. I'm definitely going to order more of this brush cause it's flippin amazing. Had no problem with the falsies, I just wished there was a lid on them.

New buses for Jackson Laboratory commuter routes

Bar Harbor, Maine – The Jackson Laboratory, in conjunction with Downeast Transportation, is getting two new replacement buses for its commuter fleet.
The new coaches will serve commuters living on the Bangor and Cherryfield routes starting the week of Dec. 20. The Laboratory also operates routes to and from Franklin and Ellsworth each weekday.
According to Jill Goldthwait, Jackson's director of government relations, the purchase was possible thanks to federal transportation funding secured by U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, with matching funds from the State of Maine and the Laboratory. "Rep. Michaud recognized the Laboratory's need to provide safe, reliable transportation for employees, some of whom live more than an hour from Bar Harbor," Goldthwait said. "And he appreciated the added environmental benefits of taking dozens of cars off the road."
Through the commuter buses and participation in the GoMaine carpool program, the Laboratory reduces the number of vehicles traveling to and from Mount Desert Island each day by more than 200. The Laboratory also encourages employees who live nearby to walk or ride a bicycle to work, by providing bike racks and showers, and installing a sidewalk to connect the Laboratory to the town of Bar Harbor.
The Jackson Laboratory is a nonprofit biomedical research institution based in Bar Harbor, Maine. Its mission is to discover the genetic basis for preventing, treating and curing human diseases, and to enable research and education for the global biomedical community.
