Samsung SUR40 with Microsoft PixelSensesamsunglfd.com/solution/sur40.do
At PDC we announced special pricing for Microsoft Surface. We've now extended that pricing through the end of November. It's a great discount for those developers who got their hands on the SDK at PDC and are now looking to run those applications on the full hardware. See the US order form or go to Surface.com for more information about the product.
[UPDATE: Discount pricing is now closed. Units are still available for purchase at standard pricing via the links above.]
Ken Spencer of Solid Quality Mentors is one of the most respected authorities on Microsoft development technologies and I had the chance to chat with him at PDC to talk about Surface...
Steve Seow: Was PDC 2008 the first time you got a close-up glimpse of the Microsoft Surface? What was the first thing that came to mind when you first saw the technology?
Ken Spencer: I had seen Surface before but never played with it. Seeing it at the PDC gave me a chance to get hands on and see some amazing software. What came to mind is lots of business uses for Surface such as applications to run for customers in the lobby, dealership apps for auto dealers, medical apps, and many more. My brain almost overflowed with potentials.
SS: If you have the SDK installed on your dev box, what is the first application you would build and why?
KS: The first application will be a prototype line of business application to demonstrate to our management and customers. This will be a paradigm changing application that many others will see and it will blow their mind.
SS: You have been advocating and using Microsoft technologies for a long time. Put the potential of Microsoft Surface in your perspective.
KS: I have been promoting Microsoft technologies for about 20 years. I have been an RD for about 14 of those years. Surface is one of those technologies that changes the paradigm of whats possible with computer technology. Its amazing what can be done with Surface in its current form and then to think of other forms such as Surface hanging on a wall at eye level and what we could do with it. Combining WPF and Surface is truly life changing.
[This is a guest blog post written by Bryan Beatty about one of his PDC experiences. Bryan is a dev on the SDK team responsible for things such as the SurfaceInkCanvas and TagVisualizer controls. If you participated in one of our Hands on Labs at PDC, you probably met Bryan and experienced his unparalleled enthusiasm for showing developers around the Surface platform. -Robert]
Mark Hopkins, a writer on the SDK team who knows Mr. Petzold, happened to bring him by the booth while I was there. I'd like to report that I handled the situation with all due dignity, but in fact I reacted like a total fanboy. "Ooo! Ooo! It's Charles *PETZOLD*! Dang, I don't have a camera! Mark! Mark! Do you have a camera? DO YOU?"
The smile you see on Petzold's face is either gratification at meeting a fan, or else a tight frozen grimace of fear that he's just run into a stalker. ("Who is this guy? He's here... he's *touching* me... now just stay cool, Charles, we're surrounded by witnesses...")

I'm dabbling with ideas and have no experience in this area.I have a rainfly from an older double wall tent that I got from a garage sale. The tent is still useful but the fly seems small compared to contemporary designs. I would like to build a new rain fly.I'd like to use this opportunity to try using silnylon. First is this a good material for a rainfly?Where do you get the stuff?
I think sil would be a great material for a rain fly. Check this thread from earlier this week for a list of sources:http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/forums/thread_display.html?forum_thread_id=17925

CENTENNIAL, TEXAS. Centennial, on Farm Road 123 sixteen miles northeast of Carthage in eastern Panola County, was established before 1850. The community's first school, founded around 1867, also served as a church. A post office operated in Centennial from 1875 until 1913. By the early 1890s the town had two general stores, a grist and saw mill, and a population of thirty. In 1906 it had a school with an enrollment of seventeen white students and another school with an enrollment of ninety-seven black students. By the mid-1930s Centennial had a store, a cemetery, and a number of houses. Its estimated population in 1936 was fifty. The Centennial schools were consolidated first with Midyett and later with Carthage schools, and by the mid-1960s only a cemetery and a few houses remained in the area. In the early 1990s Centennial was a dispersed community.

We know that the Garment has "evolved" over the years; long sleeve and long leg to short, one piece to two piece, and even colored garments for the military and silkscreened marks. I have even read articles that suggest the catalysts for these changes were members making the changes on their own.
Would you modify your garments?
Where do You see the garment in 10, 20, or even 50 years from now?
Silkscreened marks standard? tanktops for men? Shorter lengths? New or different fabrics?
(please help keep this thread open by remembering the sacred nature of the garment and by choosing your words carefully)

Re: "Larry Merchant and HBO"- Thomas Hauser article
Im not going to dodge the reality of whats happening, Merchant continued. Change of this nature causes anxiety, but I feel good about myself and Im optimistic about the future. I have a lot of good memories. When I look back over the years, that run in the eighties with Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, and Duran was fantastic. Holmes-****ey was a fascinating event. Tyson-Douglas, Holyfield-Bowe, Gatti-Ward, Barrera-Morales; those fights were extraordinary. But all good things come to an end.
On February 28th, Greenburg and Ray Stallone (HBOs vice president for sports publicity) met with Merchant in Los Angeles to discuss how his departure from the network would be handled from a public relations point of view.
They were in a very self-protective mode, Merchant said afterward. Ross wanted to be seen as the good guy who asked me to stay on. They handed me a written outline of how they hoped I would explain this to the media; the idea being that HBO offered to keep me on in a slightly different role but that I wanted to go in a different direction. It was corporate-speak and ignored the reality that Ross made it very clear to me by his words and actions that he wanted me out. I said Id think about it. We agreed that Taylor-Spinks [on May 19th] would be my last fight. Then they asked what sort of pomp and circumstance I wanted at the end, and I told them that I didnt want a grand tour. Whatever I do, Ill plan it myself.
Thereafter, Merchant drafted some farewell remarks that he intended to share with viewers on May 19th. When asked, he told Rick Bernstein (executive producer of HBO Sports) that he did not want an on-air tribute at the close of the telecast.
Then the landscape shifted. Word began to leak out that Merchant wouldnt be continuing at HBO, and there was an outpouring of emotion from the boxing community. It came from fighters, writers, managers, promoters, television personnel, and fans. There was anger over his imminent departure, coupled respect for Merchant himself.
Ross didnt have a clue as to the backlash hed get because he doesnt understand boxing fans or most of the people in boxing, says one HBO insider. He had no idea how many people would stand by Larry, and he had no idea that there would be such a negative reaction to Max.
Im disappointed, said Seth Abraham. Larry and I were together for 25 years and I consider him a friend, so Im not a dispassionate observer. But having Larry or not having Larry doesnt change the audience demographics. And a broadcast team is just that. Its a team. Larry makes everyone else on the team better. He asks the right questions. He has the right follow-up. He never tries to be bigger than his fellow commentators. The question is not whether Max is better than Larry. The question is, Will Max make the team better?
Just because youre the head of a department doesnt mean that you have a monopoly on brains, Abraham continued. Sometimes you have a monopoly on shortsightedness and stupidity. Thats one reason Ive always liked consensus. When I was at HBO, I had the final vote, subject at times to the approval of [CEOs] Michael Fuchs and Jeff Bewkes. But there were occasions when I would think one thing and Ross, Lou [DiBella], Mark [Taffet], and even [financial officer] Barbara Thomas would have a different point of view. When that happened, Id go into Bryant Park, sit down with a cup of cappucino, and ask myself, Why do these very intelligent people have a view thats different than mine? And often -- not always, but often Id come around to their view. Larry brings so much to the telecast. Hell be missed in many ways. If I were the president of HBO Sports and Im not, its Rosss decision to make I would renew Larrys contract.
Blow-by-blow commentator Jim Lampley also sang Merchants praises. Its axiomatic in boxing that styles make fights, but styles also make announcing teams. The chemistry between Lampley and Merchant is superb; a blend of fire and ice. The one time that Lampley and Kellerman had been paired (on HBOs October 14, 2006, telecast of Joe Calzaghe versus Sakio Bika), the on-air chemistry between them had not been good. There were fears that replacing Larry with Max could wind up being the equivalent of trying to shove a square peg into a round hole.
Lampley spoke of Kellerman in complimentary terms but had special praise for Merchant. Larry is not replaceable, Jim said. Hes unique in the history of our sport in terms of his integrity. The term truth-teller is often used. Its the kind of flattery that anyone would like to hear, but to say it about Larry is to say it in the purest possible sense. Larry has never shilled for a moment. He has never bent to corporate will for a moment. Whether dealing with a fighter, a promoter, a corporate executive, a major sponsor, anyone; he has never said a word that he didnt firmly believe was the truth. I can only hope that someday, somewhere in my career, I can look at myself and, in my heart of hearts, believe that Im as courageous as Larry. He inspires me every day that I work with him and he will continue to inspire me after hes gone.
Others were less charitable in viewing the situation. I dont understand who Ross thinks hes appealing to with this move, said one industry insider. I keep hearing, Younger demographic! Younger demographic! Lets get real. Does Max appeal to young urban blacks? Youve got to be kidding. Young women? I dont think so. The NASCAR crowd? No way. Instead of pandering to a younger demographic that he doesnt understand, Ross should try appealing to a boxing demographic. Better fights will attract more viewers.
Meanwhile, Kellerman was in a difficult situation. The lead ****yst position on World Championship Boxing was his dream job and he was on track to get it. But the issue of Merchants termination was making Max a lightning rod for criticism of HBO, and he was being attacked on both a professional and personal level.
Max is a provocateur, not an ****yst, said one member of HBOs production team. To be an ****yst, its not enough to be able to talk. You need judgment and maturity and you have to know what youre talking about. There are times when Larry pauses on air to search for the right word. Thats not age. Thats thinking before he speaks instead of shooting off his mouth.
On a February 17th Boxing After Dark telecast, Kellerman had likened Paulie Malignaggi to Billy Conn. As reported by Internet writer Charles Jay, Max proceeded to make this comment about Malignaggi as the self-proclaimed Magic Man entered the ring: Hes an ethnic white guy, fights in the Northeast, doesnt hit with a lot of power, and so inevitably he reminds me of the great Billy Conn, light-heavyweight champion, who gave a very good showing against the great Joe Louis, a heavyweight, much like Malignaggi gave a very good showing against Miguel Cotto at junior-welterweight.
INEVITABLY he reminds you of Conn? Jay wrote. I had no idea of the inevitability of that comparison. Thats kind of like saying that, because theyre both loud, obnoxious, and Jewish, Kellerman should be compared to Howard Cosell.
Actually, most people who meet Kellerman and talk with him one-on-one find him rather likable, whereas Cosell was even more abrasive and unpleasant in person than he was on television. Also, Cosell frequently sought to undermine his commentating partners, while Kellerman does the opposite. By way of example, Lennox Lewis says, From the very beginning, Max has done everything he could to make me feel more comfortable behind the microphone.
Regardless, Max has lobbed quite a few hard verbal shots at targets on the air. And in boxing, when you throw punches, punches come back.
Replacing Larry Merchant with Max Kellerman is like replacing Jack Nicholson with Jack Black, Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal wrote. Kellerman has zero journalistic background and is just another blabby radio-talk-show host whose schtick plays well on TV for the attention-deficit-disorder demographic of video-game zombies who prefer their knowledge in five-second sound-bytes.

Every person has his/her own fear. Some are afraid of height, water, insects and much more. We're normally called this extreme fear as "Phobia".
Believe it or not, some people seem to be normal, based on their appearance, but they're fearing of getting surgery! Although it is not too much of such cases, but it does appears amongst us…
Well, you know what? A brilliant research team from Duke University has discovered the new approach, where they've found the way to insert the needle to a silver of steel shrapnel, without even human help!
According to Steve Smith, the doctor at Duke University said that the technology would help to reduce the cost and time, especially when you're undergoing a biopsy or the surgical operations.
Smith mentioned, with the invention of the new technology, the users might have a ten-dollar biopsy done inside a supermarket, fast and no hassle at all!
Smith's next step is to modify the robot surgeons into an independent device, which is could be used for other medical procedures, besides of finding tiny shrapnel!
However, Smith thought that it would take about ten years, if we want to see a fully automated robotic surgeon, which can act as a real human surgeon in the surgery room! [discovery]

Great White Shark Attack - Caught on Tape
|Pressemitteilung von: Shark Diver
(openPR) - All Regions (Including International) Oct-2007 - Adventure seekers hoping to encounter Great White sharks on a recent adventure vacation with SharkDiver.com got more than they bargained for last week when a 15 foot white shark explosively attacked a seal right in front of astonished divers.
"We were in the middle of cage diving operations on the back deck of the MV Islander when all of a sudden a 6 foot geyser of black foam and red blood erupted 50 yards from our position. I immediately deployed the shark research team from CICIMAR with video cameras and they caught a rarely seen white shark feeding event and repeated attacks on a 7 foot long resident Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris)."
"The attacks lasted about 15 minutes and having witnessed a 'full on' predation first hand I have a new appreciation for the whites we encounter here. After four years of personal observations with these animals it's always good to be reminded of the power of this top ocean predator", said Australian born Luke Tipple, dive operations manager for Shark Diver and host of upcoming television series Wild Side Encounters.
"In 6 years of operations at this unique dive site, there have only been two recorded surface shark attacks on seals, this one was nothing short of spectacular. Today we decided to release this video to the general public", added eco-adventurer and Shark Diver CEO Patric Douglas after reviewing the video.
"We have research data showing these sharks actively stalking the smaller Guadalupe Fur Seals (pups and adults) early in the shark season," says Douglas. "By November these pups are quite big and begin to play offshore, which is the equivalent of ringing the dinner bell for larger female whites who need to consume mass quantities of food to fuel up for the winter and for breeding season."
Located 210 miles off the coast of Mexico, Isla Guadalupe has become the worldwide recognized dive destination for an unprecedented number of Great White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) and provides exceptional opportunities for divers seeking encounters with these misunderstood denizens of the deep.
The Shark Diver crew, lead by dedicated shark specialists in conjunction with U.C Davis and CICIMAR's research teams, documented this rare attack on the surface and from below and will be studying it in depth in the coming months.
There are few places in the world that feature consistent sightings and interactions with Great White sharks as Isla Guadalupe, Mexico.

It is morning. The sky is clear and blue. It is hot, even though it is still early morning. It will stay hot the whole day.
The air is cool at this hour. Time to open the windows for fresh air, but not the shutters - the sun burns too brightly at this time. The rooms fill with the fresh breeze as the birds tweet their songs, as they feel the warmth of the coming summer.
The garden looks lush and verdant. All that winter rain is now working to its benefit! The tomato plants have grown stronger, they already need training. The zucchini is filled with small fruit - not long now, we will be eating them. The apricots are still green but the tree is overloaded.
It's Saturday and there are jobs to done and promises to be attended to:
"You promised to sew up my jeans."
"Didn't you say we'd bake a cake today?"
"Don't get me to do it, I'm going to sow some corn today."
It's Saturday and our supplies must be replenished before the shops close:
"How much bread should I buy?"
"Do we need any milk?"
"What meat will we have for Sunday lunch?"
"Are there any leftovers? No? So, τί θα φάμε σήμερα?"
Where we once thought that life can only get better, we now find that life can in fact get worse and we cannot keep up with improvements because we cannot compete with those who have jumped the gun. But when we cast aside the modern urban world that put us into this mess, and we put a bit of the primitive back into our contemporary, it is possible to believe that life can be sweet without too much sugar.
Spring is a time for new growth. The garden looks empty, but it still yields fruit to those that accept its offerings. The artichokes will begin to bloom if they are not harvested soon, and the purslane has just sprouted, all on its own, as if by magic. Lunch just needs some cheese today, with a few pantry staples added (olives and onions), and that ubiquitous splash of olive oil. We take it for granted that we live like royalty. But I'd prefer to keep such things to myself - I don't really want the place to get too crowded.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A state assemblyman from Sacramento does not appear to be living in the condo he bought so he could run for a seat in a newly drawn district.
The Sacramento Bee reports that Democratic Assemblyman Richard Pan began taking more than $28,000 in per diem payments last year, which helped him buy the condo in a neighborhood south of downtown. His home in Natomas, a neighborhood north of downtown, was in the same district as another Democratic lawmaker following redistricting in 2011.
State lawmakers are required to live within the districts they represent. Pan registered to vote and swore under penalty of perjury that he was living in the 9th Assembly District.
In a statement, Pan said he is following state law and spends time at multiple Sacramento residences.

Our certified organic Krishna Tulsi (Holy Basil) has been used for centuries to promote immunity and stress resilience, support strength and stamina, and to enhance calm and clarity.
You will need a "tea basket" that inserts into a cup, a "tea ball" or an individual empty "tea bag." Place a tablespoon of Tulsi tea leaves into the tea basket, ball or tea bag, and place in your favorite mug. Bring clean fresh water to boil, and pour boiling water over Tulsi tea leaves in your cup. Cover and let steep for 5 - 10 minutes. Remove tea basket, ball or bag, and enjoy. Use more tea leaves for a stronger flavor and less for a milder flavor, as per your taste. Please note: The stronger the tea, the more potent the benefits.
Use one full tablespoon of tea per cup. Place the tea leaves in your teapot, and pour fresh boiling water over the tea leaves. Let the tea steep for 5 - 10 minutes, and pour through a small strainer directly into the cup. Use more tea for a stronger flavor and less for a milder flavor, as per your taste. Please note: The stronger the tea, the more potent the benefits.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 8 teaspoons of tea, cover and add sweetener if desired. Infuse for 20 minutes. Strain and add 2 cups of cold water, and refrigerate. Pour over ice to serve.
Throughout India, Tulsi is considered "The Queen of Herbs" and is revered as a sacred plant infused with healing power. Traditionally grown in an earthen pot in every family home or garden, Tulsi (also known as Holy Basil) makes a delicious and refreshing tea that possesses wonderful health benefits that support the body's natural immune system while relieving the body's negative reaction to stress.* Tulsi's remarkable life-enhancing qualities, noted repeatedly in ancient Indian scriptures dating back 5,000 years, are now here for you to fully enjoy. Namaste!

We recommend that women who are pregnant, attempting to conceive, or lactating consult their healthcare practitioner before consuming Tulsi (Holy Basil).

Another week brought more exciting finishes in big ten play. In Columbus, Michael Geiger's field goal gave Michigan State its second straight win in Columbus for the first time since 1951, ending the Buckeyes' nation-long 24 game winning streak. And then in Madison, you had five turnovers, six Wildcat sacks, a pair of missed field goals, a running back spiking a football, three overturned touchdowns via replay and an education of the fair catch rule in a 13-7 Northwestern win; the Wildcats' first victory at Camp Randall Stadium since the turn of the century.

PIKE COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - Wednesday marked three years since a flood destroyed parts of Pike County causing millions of dollars in damage.
Some folks on Harless Creek are still recovering from it, and they say they will never forget that day.
The sun was shining on Harless Creek Wednesday, but as Janie Caudill remembers July 17, 2010, was a completely different picture.
"You couldn't even get across my bridge. There was four-wheelers lodged in it. There was cars all around," she said.
Rushing flood waters took out almost everything in their path, washing away not only homes but the memories inside them.
"My mom lost the most of everybody, and she lost everything that her and my dad had worked for for 82 years," said Caudill.
Her mom, 83-year-old Joyce Blackburn, remembers it all too well.
"That destroyed it, tore it all to pieces," she said.
Many of the people who live along Harless Creek say since that flood, anytime a summer storm pops up many of them pack up and head downstream.
"I think a lot of the people are still in shock over it. Like I said every time it rains they panic," said Caudill.
In three years' time most of the folks there have rebuilt their lives, though some could not stand to stay.
"When the flood came it was hard. A lot of people sold their homes. A lot of people left the creek. They didn't want to live here anymore," said Caudill.
But those that stayed stuck together.
"I am coming back," said Blackburn.
They are moving forward but always remembering the day that changed their lives.
Many of the folks living there sued a mining company saying rainwater runoff from Cambrian Coal's surface mine caused the flood.
The company settled that suit last year.
A lawsuit with another mine company was settled in 2011.

Farrah Abraham has called out Kourtney Kardashian for having a second child outside of marriage. Choose a side in this feud.
Are you on Team Farrah or Team Kardashian?
yeah, great publicity for Farrah because I had never heard of her. The more she says the less I think of her though. Kourtney's situation isn't comparable to a Teen Mom's situation And why would she think "sh*t stain" is racist toward African Americans in the context he said it? Is she or her child part African American? Even then idk how she can defend jumping to that conclusion. lol
good publicity for this Farrah whoever because i had never heard of her before!
Lord, you people need to get a life, who cares, they both need to re-evaluate their lives and do what's best for the kids!
I am with Farrah. Because with all the money that Kardashians the baby will be riased by a babysitter. Kourthey will not spend one time with the baby she and her sister will be spending to much time with the TV show that they have and forget about the baby.
wow this is just stupid.. so what if she is having another baby (with or with out being married) people really wonder y the world is y it is.. well THIS is y.. people care more about STUPID twitter drama then they do about kids/people going without food.. toys.. clothes.. and other stuff.. u dont see that stuff being reported as much as u see this crap....... my thought is that both of them are ''grown'' and can make their own choices and need to NOT talk about others...
Farrah shouldn't be commenting on Kourt's pregnancy. She is 32 years old and doing well for herself. But then again Kourt doesn't want to marry Scott but wants to have his kids and their relationship hasn't been great. Not a good choice to bring another child into when they have so many issues. What kind of role models are they going to be to their children. Farrah needs to take care of herself and her kid and not worry about other people and their drama when she has her own.
Why doe s Kourtney care what Farrah has to say since she stated she is a 32 year old woman. I can't stand the Kardashians. I wish they would go away. They are terrible role models even if they want to be or not. Money hungry heathens. Go AWAY!
who is that loser to call any one out of contex. Just showes how low he realy is. Kourtney you picked a reeeeaaaaallll winnner hun!(not) I feel sorry for the kid/ soon to be kids that have him for a father!!!!
Farrah has the right to voice her opion, in this case though i do believe she is right, Kourtney is with a lil boy who has apon numorus time cheated on her and left her. she might be thirty but kourtney still has the mind of a 16 yr old girl. Two childeren with a man who cant decide what he wants after all this time is in the least the right thing to do. Farrah has made the sacrifice of going to school to better her future for her and little Sophie, she has not givin her baby up for anything, SHE is making the right choices for the better of her family.
Im with Farrah....

Blue Sea, on the other hand, is a multi-strategy fund of hedge funds comprising 25 underlying hedge funds that cover a range of strategies including, long-short equities, fixed-income arbitrage, convertible bond arbitrage, distressed debt and macro strategies. Currently, Blue Sea has $150 million in assets under management, although Chalmers added that the fund would grow to $180 million by the end of the month. It is initially targeted to close at $1 billion.
Depending on the demand for capital protected hedge fund products, Schroders may also offer a capital guaranteed version of Blue Sea, said Chalmers. He added, however, that such capital protected products come at a price. "Ultimately, protection comes at a cost, so you have to give up some of the upside. That's really a decision that we're happy to leave to investors tomake."
Schroders is currently in the process of receiving approval from Hong Kong's regulatory body, the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to launch the products. So far, three retail hedge funds have received approval from the SFC - two from JF Funds and one from HSBC.

About Goffinet
Goffinet McLaren grew up in the historic town of Carrickfergus, on the water`s edge of Northern Ireland. Surrounded by the sea, she was aware at a very early age of the importance of caring for the ocean and its inhabitants. As she grew into adulthood, she developed a passion to make a difference to our planet.
After retiring to the beautiful coast of South Carolina, Goffinet realized that something dreadful was happening! Litter of all sorts, and particularly plastic products, carelessly left on the beach by thoughtless visitors, were being washed into the sea.
Concerned about the impact of this plastic in the ocean, she investigated what might be known about this problem, and encountered Capt. Charles Moore, the sea captain who had discovered the Great Pacific Garbage Patch some years before.
As she learned more about Capt. Moore's research, her worst fears about plastic in the ocean were confirmed. As a result of plastic ingestion, millions of birds, seals, dolphins, turtles, and even whales, suffer heartbreaking deaths, a phenomenon that Goffinet refers to as "a holocaust of ocean life."
Haunted by what she had learned, she resolved to bring more awareness to the plight of marine life.
She would often engage in conversation about litter problems with families visiting the beach, and she noticed that children became especially engrossed. One day as she watched some gulls pecking at a piece of plastic, it occurred to her that generations of seagulls must have witnessed the same changes that had taken place in the ocean since she herself was a little girl. And while she, Goffinet, could talk to the adults, who better to talk to the children than a wise old seagull.
And her book "Sullie Saves the Seas" was instantly hatched!
About Sullie - The Global Icon For Clean Oceans
From his roost at Turtle Beach, Sullie has indeed been watching his ocean pals suffer from the onslaught of plastic litter flowing into the ocean. He has decided that humans must change their thoughtless behavior, and his adventures in "Sullie Saves the Seas", provide a humorous, but vital, education for our younger generation about a serious issue.
In the Problems section, you will see examples of why we must all be aware of the
consequences to marine life caused by our careless human behavior.
In the Adults and Kids sections, you will find reasons why we should help,
and what we can do, about this plastic plague.

Insurance & Financing for Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a major financial commitment, and all of us here at the Baptist Center for Bariatrics are committed to helping you navigate the intricacies of financing your weight loss journey. Generally, there are three methods most commonly used to finance bariatric surgery: Insurance, Third-Party Financing and Self-Pay. Below you will find an overview of these methods.
As most insurance companies have recognized obesity as a disease, most providers accept bariatric surgery as a viable treatment option. That being said, there are some very important considerations when working with an insurance company:
- While the insurance company itself may have policies that cover bariatric surgery, individual plans may not. Contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage details.
- If bariatric surgery is covered, note which specific bariatric procedures are allowed under your plan. Your particular plan may not cover one or more types of surgery.
- Note your deductibles, out-of-pocket expenses and specific exclusions regarding bariatric surgery. Verify that your deductible and out-of-pocket expenses are suitable for your financial situation.
- We will verify your insurance benefits and submit all required documentation to your insurance company on your behalf, at no additional cost to you!
Insurance companies will require significant documentation and a prior history of attempts at weight loss in order to approve you. Generally speaking, insurance companies will expect to see failed attempts at diet, exercise and even medical weight loss programs for up to one year or more. They will also want to verify that bariatric surgery is a medical necessity for you. Once you have submitted a pre-authorization application to your insurance company, it is up to them to review your information. Once the insurance company has made a decision you'll either be approved (congratulations!) or denied.
What if my Bariatric Insurance Request is Denied?
Pre-authorization is often denied because of errors or omissions in the application and authorization process. It is therefore important to speak with your insurance company and find out exactly why your claim has been denied. Oftentimes, a simple fix or correction of an oversight can be the difference between approval and denial. Other times, a denial warrants an appeal. Insurance companies have an obligation to allow you to appeal a denial of coverage. Appeals are usually time-consuming processes that require additional information and additional paperwork. However, with persistence, you may be able to overturn your denial. You should speak to your primary physician and our office in order to determine the best course of action.
In summary, don't be discouraged at the insurance process. It is often a long, time-consuming and sometimes frustrating process. However, if you are approved, the time spent to change your health and your life will be well worth it.
Third-party Financing
For those whose insurance policies will not cover bariatric surgery and who cannot self-pay, third party financing may be the best option. Third party financing may include an unsecured personal loan, credit card loans, a secured home equity loan, or specific medical financing. Some research on the Internet and by phone will uncover dozens of companies that provide such services. However, it must be noted that most, if not all of these financing options come with financing and interest costs, in addition to the cost of surgery. Please make sure that you are comfortable with the cost of the loan before you commit to it.
Credit cards can be useful because any purchase is generally pre-approved as long as it remains within the credit limit. These credit lines, however, may be lower than other traditional financing options. Credit cards also come with variable interest rates that may change over the life of the loan, so it is worth the time to fully understand the risk of using credit cards in order to finance your procedure.
A home equity loan and/or other collateralized loans also come with interest and finance charges. Please understand the consequences of default on these loans, which may include losing assets collateralized in the loan - this may include your home. In these types of financing, interest rates may be variable.
Finally, third party medical credit can vary widely in interest rates and terms depending on your individual creditworthiness. Please contact each financing company, as their repayment and cost terms will vary.
For those who are not suited to financing and cannot or do not wish to use insurance for their procedure, the option to self-pay is available. Self-pay patients are encouraged to contact our office in order to get a detailed overview of the costs of bariatric surgery at our facility, and to explore the repayment options that we offer. Because surgical team and surgical facility fall under the same umbrella, we are often able to roll all of the costs of surgery into one convenient package, ultimately benefiting you.

In The Walking Dead, you play as Lee Everett, who is a convicted murderer on his way to jail, when the squad car crashes, and Lee escapes a few walkers. Lee then finds a young girl by the name of Clementine, who becomes one of the most important people to Lee as time goes on.
When it comes to the presentation of this game, it truly looks fantastic. Telltale did a good job of making the game look like its a 3D comic book. The characters all look well rendered, and so do the environments. Some of the animations are a little clunky, but overall the game has a nice look and feel to it.
When it comes to gameplay, I had mixed feelings about the gameplay style when I initially came into the game, as I have never been a huge fan of the "point-and-click" adventure games (don't get me wrong though, I do still enjoy them from time to time), but this game does it right. While there are puzzles to figure out at times, Telltale made the game focus more on character development than puzzles, which I personally enjoy more.
When it comes to the lasting appeal of this game, there are definitely multiple opportunities to replay the game. With all the different decisions you make throughout the game, I always find myself wondering what would have happened if I had made a different choice. Overall, the multitude of decision combinations is high enough to keep players replaying the game multiple times to see all the different outcomes available.
Overall, The Walking Dead is an excellent game that has great gameplay, great presentation, and a very emotional, and sometimes heart-wrenching story, with a very high level of replayability that will entertain players for hours on end.

Include your activities in our story!
It's easy! Just include the official National Public Works Week hashtag (#NPWW) on all of your social media posts! The public works community wants to see what you're doing to celebrate. Join the #NPWW party all this week by sharing your best pictures, videos and other content!
Since 1960, APWA has sponsored National Public Works Week. Across North America, our more than 28,000 members in the US and Canada use this week to energize and educate the public on the importance of the contribution of public works to their daily lives: planning, building, managing and operating the heart of our local communities and building the quality of life.
If you have questions about NPWW or art requests, please contact Dave Dancy via email or call 800-848-2792 ext 5251.
Instituted as a public education campaign by the American Public Works Association (APWA) in 1960, NPWW calls attention to the importance of public works in community life. The Week seeks to enhance the prestige of the often-unsung heroes of our society-the professionals who serve the public good every day with quiet dedication.
APWA encourages public works agencies and professionals to take the opportunity to make their stories known in their communities. Over the years the observances have taken many forms, including parades, displays of public works equipment, high school essay contests, open houses, programs for civic organizations and media events. The occasion is marked each year with scores of resolutions and proclamations from mayors and governors, as well. Some special highlights of NPWW include a United States Senate resolution affirming the first National Public Works Week in 1960, letters of acknowledgment from Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson, and a Presidential Proclamation signed by John F. Kennedy in 1962.
From the beginning, the selection of a Top Ten list of exceptional public works professionals has been a cornerstone of NPWW. The program has identified more than 400 men and women who reflect the highest standards of professional conduct for public works officials. These honorees have been recognized for discharging critical responsibilities in connection to the design, construction, maintenance and/or operation of major public works projects or activities in large and small municipalities throughout North America. Often their accomplishments are particularly noteworthy in relation to the limited manpower and financial resources available to them.
National Public Works Week is observed each year during the third full week of May. Through NPWW and other efforts, APWA seeks to raise the public's awareness of public works issues and to increase confidence in public works employees who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for present and future generations.
The National Public Works Week How-To Guide is one of several resources the Association makes available to agencies to assist them in the development and implementation of their own individual celebrations. With this tool, an agency will learn how to create proclamations and solicit endorsements from government officials, develop media and press releases, write editorials and articles, and generate material for speeches. There are also several suggestions for celebratory activities to be implemented at the local level.

Bought Trine 2, great co-op game.
It was recently on sale on the XBLA as well, so I'll vouch for that. Played through solo on PC.
It's really great fun in co-op, especially if you have a lovable oaf playing... the lovable oaf knight. Gag reel highlight quotes:"No, see, if I hit the cubes he makes with my hammer, it lets him make another one for free!""Guys! I found an easter egg! I think! It's a plank! Like from... Dead Island? *beat* YOU CAN MAKE THOSE!?""These... These... DAMN GAMES DON'T PHYSICS!"
Thats every GTA game :P
Maybe Valve has been reading this thread lol
Psychonauts -- brilliant game that was the victim of warez users who are cheapskates and didn't buy it, forcing a lot of financial difficulties onto the developers.
Batman : Arkham Asylum (GOTY) -- don't have to say much about this title, nice and cheap with the addons also.
Bioshock 1 and 2 -- both are going cheap also, 1st one is well worth it, 2nd one was meh but people will no doubt buy it.
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition -- practically giving this away.
Portal 2 -- I think you can still get Portal 1 for free on Steam, but Portal 2 was just brilliant simple blow your head puzzlefest. Well worth the money.
And Game of the Vote is Galactic Civ 2 - Ultimate Edition -- a good complex space strategy game. Good laughs.
But, Zeth bought me Mass Effect 2 when it was on sale. So yay!
I'm very upset about the Steam sale happening a week before payday *sigh*
You may want to be grateful that you did not have extra cash on hand... I think I spent WAY too much!
I hear that just had a round up of games ive pre ordered from different sites =Crysis 3 Deadspace 3 Prototype 2 Darksiders 2 Transformers fall of cybertron

Have a photo or a collectible from The Leilani?
Add it to Critiki!
Humuhumu's description:
The Leilani no longer has any tiki whatsoever, and is just an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet. The building looks more Asian than straight Polynesian, but there is a beautiful palm tree neon sign, almost identical to the one that stood in front of the Lanai restaurant in San Mateo.
The Leilani was owned by the brothers Jimmy, Roy and Stanley Dunn, who also owned Luau across town (which has met a very similar fate).
The Leilani used to serve drinks in tiki mugs with both its name and Luau inscribed on the back (and used at both restaurants): a black moai, and a three-face bucket mug.

Emery County — Emery Refining, LLC and the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED), announced that the company will construct a facility in Emery County, expected to add 125 permanent new jobs to Utah's refining industry within the energy economic sector over the next 3 years.
Emery Refining, LLC has entered into a 12-year incentive agreement with the state, during which it will pay over $99 million in new state wages to the 125 incented positions. These jobs are expected to pay at least 100 percent of Emery County's average annual wage including benefits.
"One of the key parts to keeping Utah's business sector successful is fostering small businesses, so we are happy that the state is able to enter into an incentive agreement with Emery Refining," GOED executive director Spencer Eccles said.
"This project represents a substantial amount of investment into our state in support of energy development which is one of the governor's four cornerstones of economic prosperity," said Cody Stewart, the governor's energy advisor. "This will assist with rural job creation in both the Paradox and Uinta basins."
Emery Refining, LLC was formed and funded by Bridgehouse Capital, the family office and advisor to a number of family funds with investments in a number of industries such as commercial and residential real estate, power generation, data centers, and natural resources. Rock River Resources, LLC, a division of Emery Refining, LLC will design, construct and operate a facility in Emery County that is ideally suited for processing regional crude oils.
"This refinery is an investment in the future of Utah – putting people and technology to work to meet the future energy needs of the state and the region," said Jeff Beicker, chief operating officer of Rock River Resources. "We appreciate the support of the state and local community leaders who have worked closely with us over the past three years and we look forward to breaking ground later this year."
During the incentive's 12-year lifetime, Emery Refining expects to make a capital investment of over $225 million. It is anticipated that the company will also pay over $60 million in new state tax revenue over the lifetime of the agreement.
Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director, said "Emery County has been working for nearly a decade to bring industrial development into Green River. This project is the culmination of that effort. The county and city leaders have worked diligently to prepare the community for this project and now we are all ready to see it happen."
The GOED Board of Directors has approved a $12,712,221 Economic Development Tax Increment Finance post-performance refundable tax credit, or 20 percent of the new taxes paid by the company over the lifetime of the incentive.

Common Councilman, and Albany mayoral candidate, Corey
Ellis campaigning in the 9th Ward.
Alicia Solsman
Race Is On
mayoral candidate Corey Ellis takes his message door to door,
while incumbent Mayor Jerry Jennings defends his record
make sure that the schools are effective, we have to make
sure that these kids live in safe neighborhoods, Councilman
Corey Ellis said, standing on the front porch of a modest
single-family home on Forest Avenue in Albanys 9th Ward.
Forty percent of the children in the South End and Arbor
Hill live below the poverty level. We have kids who cant
live in safe neighborhoods, where crime is running rampant.
How can we expect them to leave those unsafe neighborhoods
and be effective students?
He could have asked anything to the middle-aged homeowner
staring blankly back at him. Ellis knew before he went to
her door that she was a supporter of Mayor Jerry Jennings.
demographics, the older age groups, the first-time mayoral
candidate said later, are where his campaign has found the
majority of Jennings supporters.
But there are Machine houses, too, he said. I can tell not
only by age but by how many are registered in the house. You
see seven people registered Democrat in the house, regardless
if they live there, if the kids are off to college, I know
that those arent my votes.
Ellis is running an ambitious campaign to unseat a 16-year
incumbent who raised more than $360,000 in campaign contributions
by the July reporting. That is nearly 10 times the $37,000
Ellis was able to raise. Further, Ellis had spent all but
$11,000 of his war chest; Jennings still had on hand $273,000.
Ellis shrugged. What can Jerry spend that money on? TV spots?
The voting population is so small, you can only spend so much
money to get a vote. We are only talking about 16,000 people.
A successful campaign is about going door to door, he said,
and about calling voters. You can talk to voters without
It has worked for him so far. He has already enjoyed an early
victory by outlasting Common Council President Shawn Morris,
who dropped out of the race on July 16. Our campaign was
reenergized by that, Ellis said, adding that he hopes the
people who supported Morris will now support him.
At least one of the people Ellis spoke to Monday night was
a former Morris supporter and volunteer. The college-aged
woman told Ellis that she would now volunteer for his campaign.
I was supporting her because I didnt know about you, she
admitted. I dont like Jennings.
what we have seen, Ellis said. Its definitely a battle
to beat Jerry.
At another house, during a discussion on the growing tax burden
facing the city, a mother told Ellis: There needs to be a
moratorium on charter schools.
voted for it, Ellis said. Until the current charter schools
are full, the city doesnt need to spend its valuable education
resources on them. They are placing an undue burden on a
school system that is already burdened.
the mayor favor charter schools? Are there too many of them?
Ellis asked. He needs to answer that.
think that we are pretty maxed, Jennings told Metroland,
but we wouldnt need charter schools if public schools were
effective. Charter schools play a role because a lot of parents
are sending their kids to charter schools because they have
lost confidence in our public schools.
Charter schools have advantages, Jennings continued: They
have longer school years; the kids wear uniforms. But they
dont have the demands of a special education program, etc.,
etc., so thats why I think that they could complement each
other, as opposed to being competitive with each other.
On that Monday evening in that middle-class neighborhood,
Ellis fielded multiple questions about how he would approach
what is seen as an increase in crime in Albany.
need to get back to community policing, Ellis said. Our
police department has become stat takers. They can tell you
where the crimes are, but we have to begin to prevent those
crimes from happening. And I believe the way we can do that
is by having officers on the beat, constantly, so people know
who their officers are. That way the community gets more engaged
in the police department, and vice versa.
Jennings answered: People have to look at it: One crime is
too much, but crime has gone down in the city, over the past
three years. If you look back, what we did was we modernized
the department, pointing to the citys development of the
Strategic Deployment Unit, more than 20 officers who can be
deployed anywhere in the city. You cant have a beat cop
on every corner, thats unrealistic. But, he added, the city
is looking at ways to direct recently announced federal funds
toward hiring 10 new officers to be used for community-policing
This plan will be released, he said, in a week or so.
want people in the city to recognize the hard work we have
put into the city over the past 15-plus years, and I think
that they will, Jennings said. I am not ready to give the
city up, cause we have a lot of work to do, and the people
in the city recognize that. The easiest thing for me to do
would be walk away.
who are objective will look at it realistically and say, Are
we better off? Do we have more jobs? Do we have more opportunities
for our kids? I mean, that All-America City recognition wasnt
something to take lightly. People from outside evaluated what
is going on here, and that was 350 cities that applied for
that. That is something we can be very proud of.
loose ends this week-

Marc Goldfischer, occupancy director at the Affinity Orchard Place Apartments & Townhomes in Greece, knows that many of the residents haven't had much experience with farmers' markets.
The apartments in the 550-unit complex are considered affordable, and many of the renters have backgrounds that don't include regular purchase of fresh produce and fruit at outdoor venues.
So Goldfischer and two eastside farmers -Noto Fruit Farms in Williamson, Wayne County, and the Elliott Farm, also in Williamson - decided that the farms would truck over some of their produce to Affinity beginning in ...

I wrote this for a narrative essay about an incident where we felt fear. please tell me what you think because I need to turn it in soon
Summer in Ramallah
If anyone has asked me about Ramallah 8 years ago, I would have told them that it's a Palestinian city. I would have said that it's located north of Jerusalem. I would have admitted that Ramallah felt more like home than my actual home, and I would have told them that I spent every year waiting for the first day of summer so that I'd spend it in Ramallah, with everyone that I loved. But if I was asked now, I would say that Ramallah is the city I fear to step foot in. I would tell whoever asked me that what happened in Ramallah was the reason I changed forever.
8 years ago, and as usual, I spent my summer with my relatives in Ramallah. That particular week, my parents were there as well, and everything seemed perfect. I was playing with my cousins, as the adults did whatever it is that they do. Everything was in place, and that is probably why I loved it. One of my cousins, who happened to be my best friend at that time, suggested going out for a walk one night. It was late, and as the sky was pitch-black, our parents didn't allow it. He told me that we must find a way to convince them. Why that was, I still don't know until this day. We started a fight with our parents, and we were sent to our rooms. That did not stop Rami. He escaped from his window and came to help me escape from mine. He was only a year older than me, but I always found myself trusting his every word and feeling safe around him. So I went with him thinking that nothing wrong could possibly occur. On that cool breezy and beautiful summer night, Rami and I started our walk into a new life.
I spent most of my life walking those streets, yet I never felt the need to memorize our way. Rami was always around to guide me and take me places, and so that night, as every other day, I let him guide the way. We started our walk away from home. We walked through a familiar street as I complained about my parents. Then, when we were out of words to describe our family's injustice, we realized we were no longer in that street. As I looked around me, I realized we were now in a dark alley. The walls were narrow, and as my mind always liked to play tricks on me, I saw the walls closing in on us. All lights were out, not a single candle was lit in that whole street. I heard a voice, and that was when I started to freak out. Once again, we hear footsteps, then a snap. My hands started to shake, and my knees felt too weak to hold me. I think Rami noticed for he held my hand and said with an attempt to humor "I'm sure it's just a cat, silly." I wanted so badly to believe him, but I couldn't. He turned around, and stood still as if he saw a ghost. From the look on his face, I was too afraid to turn around and see what he saw. However, my curiosity drove me to. There, two feet away from us, stood a tall and quite chubby man. He looked a lot like death to my 10 year-old eyes. I heard Rami whisper "Run!" but it felt too distanced even though he was right next to me. My feet wouldn't move, almost as if they weren't mine anymore. I felt Rami grab my hand and pull me away as he ran as fast as he could. Apparently, it wasn't fast enough for now I was lying on my back with my eyes closed. I opened them only to see the man's face two inches away from mine. Looking closely, he was just a boy. He had an innocent round baby face, but his wide black eyes emitted evil from them. He even smelled of death. I struggled to free myself from under his body, and when I failed, I looked around me only to find Rami knocked down. Fear moved around through my whole body until no strength to fight was left in me. One long second passed, and I chose to give in to the man. That was when the man was pulled away from me in a split second. Now Rami was on top of him trying to beat the man to unconsciousness as he yelled "Run!" in my direction. When my feet wouldn't move, he yelled "Now!"
As I ran away from Rami, I could hear the man's rough voice yelling at him. He sounded more like an animal with his growling at Rami. Before I turned around a corner, I looked behind me once more; the man was on top of Rami now, but Rami wasn't giving up his fight. I ran to get help as fast as I could as my numb lips were mumbling "Why couldn't I have listened to my parents?". Rami was never the same after that night. He fractured his nose, broke a few bones, and hated me forever. He was alive, but he never walked again, and it was only so that he'd save me. That night he saved me, but also, on that beautiful summer night, I left Rami behind. That night, both of us left a part of Rami behind. I went back that summer to see him, but I don't think he wanted to see me. So, my visits stopped, I wish I could have stopped my fears with them.
It has been 8 years since I have stepped foot in Ramallah. I can still remember the fear I felt that night. Sometimes, I can still smell the man's odor and feel my heart pounding. All of that happened because I should have listened to my parents, but instead I went out to play. We had to change after that night, and nothing was in place anymore. Both of us grew up in one night, and if you ask me, I wish we hadn't.
I have edited the story and added a few sentences. I turned it in and I got my grade back! I wanted to thank all of you who helped me, because I got the highest grade in my whole class. no one has ever gotten such a grade from this teacher! I am so proud and thankful! <3

Saints coach Sean Payton will tell you his running game doesn't drop off that much without Thomas in the game. That's not true. The offense is more crisp and the ground game more efficient with Thomas, who says he will play despite three broken ribs. Reggie Bush has become a one-trick pony catching the ball and the Saints simply have not been as productive with Mike Bell carrying the load. One key carry could spell the difference in this one.
