She never shies away from a challenge, and Chrissy Teigen handled the wintry Icelandic weather like a pro in the new UGG Australia spread. The beautiful bride of John Legend wore white leggings and a cream-colored blanket for the shoot along with her captivating smile.
Teigen told People, "I learned something really interesting about myself on this shoot. Something unknown, even to me: I am afraid of heights!"
Always up for a smashing good time, Chrissy Teigen showed up at Lord & Taylor in New York City for Buffalo David Bitton's Guys Night Out last night (December 11).
Rather than just complaining about injustice, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are putting their money where their mouths are.
The "All of Me" singer and his supermodel wife paid for food trucks to serve hungry protesters in Lincoln Square and Union Square over the weekend.
They're definitely a picture perfect pair and on Monday (December 1) Chrissy Teigen and John Legend joined forces for a New York City photo session.
The "Stay with Me" singer was delighted to be working alongside his 29-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl wife as they frolicked on the streets of Manhattan with their beloved pooch pal.
Ever the gracious host, Chrissy Teigen made her rounds at the Wine, Dine & DIY Design Holiday Event for Shutterfly in New York City last night (November 11).
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl wore a super-sexy black and white jumpsuit from Self-Portrait that showed off plenty of sideboob as she posed for photos at Sopra.
Celebrities love an excuse to get all done up and hit the town, and last night a trio of lovely ladies lit up Cipriani Wall Street with their radiant beauty.
Margot Robbie and Olivia Palermo both smiled for the shutterbugs as they arrived at the 31st Annual Fashion Group International Night of Stars: The Protagonists in Manhattan, rubbing shoulders with a slew of famous folks along the way.
As if she didn't already have enough on her plate, Tyra Banks is preparing a brand new panel-driven talk show for the ABC Network.
Slated to debut in Fall 2015, "The F.A.B." (Fun and Beautiful) will also feature super-cool Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl Chrissy Teigen.
Kicking off the weekend with an epic celebration, Hollywood's most beautiful ladies gathered for the Variety Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hills, CA on Friday (October 10).
Eva Longoria looked drop dead gorgeous in a maroon dress as she struck a pose with fellow guest Viola Davis, who was striking in a sky blue ensemble.

ExxonMobil freezes Iraqi Kurdistan deal
Iraqi Oil Minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi has said that the government received a letter on March 5 from ExxonMobil stating that the corporation had frozen its deal with the country's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). He made the remarks on Friday. ExxonMobil and the KRG had angered Iraq's central authorities by signing a large-scale contract in November 2011 without the approval of the Oil Ministry in Baghdad. The KRG has been engaged in a longstanding dispute with Iraq's central government over its right to issue licenses to oil companies in the region. "Although we would prefer Exxon to cancel its deal with Kurdistan, freezing the contract is a step forward," the Wall Street Journal quoted an unnamed Iraqi oil official as saying. ExxonMobil is already producing an estimated 370,000 barrels of oil per day from the West Qurna field in southern Iraq, under a service contract negotiated with Baghdad. GJH/MF/HGL

How can DC lose Blue Beetle and pick up...Vibe?
BB is still something DC is looking to sell to the general public, but Bedard was a terrible choice and he sunk the book. Should have picked Rogers since he still had a year of stories apparently before he left.
Vibe is just them capitalizing on the new JLA book. That is why you have the Lemire's GA book I suspect and also the Katana book too. Probably some sort of tie-in with GA( Lemire), Vibe(Kreisberg), Catwoman&Katana(Nocenti) with Johns dictating the overall direction.

Sam Venable: Better get used to seeing bears
One day in the summer of 1968 — I was a rising senior at the University of Tennessee and working as a reporter for the old Knoxville Journal — we dispatched one of our photographers on a bizarre assignment.
It stemmed from a telephone tip we had gotten from a farmer at the Knox-Union County line. He'd been seeing a rare animal mingling with cattle in one of his fields. None of his neighbors would believe it. Could we send someone to verify his claim?
Hugh Lunsford was chosen for the assignment. For two reasons.
1. He was a veteran photographer, certainly up for this challenge.
2. He had a keen interest in the outdoors.
Hugh's mission — one he could accomplish only by staking out a spot in one field and waiting patiently until late afternoon?
To snap a picture of a whitetail deer in the wild.
Yep, he got it. We ran it on Page 1 the next morning.
You have to be gray of beard, journalistically and biologically, to understand the significance of that event.
Outside of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Cherokee National Forest and Central Peninsula Wildlife Management Area (now called Chuck Swan), deer were virtually unknown in East Tennessee back then. There were occasional reports of sightings, some from reliable sources. But for a news photographer to come back with ironclad proof was big stuff.
What a difference half a century makes.
Knox County is knee-deep in deer these days. Wild turkeys, too. Ditto resident Canada geese. These animals represent some of the most successful wildlife management stories in modern history.
The same is now happening with black bears.
"I don't ever foresee the day when bears are common in lowland residential areas, like deer and turkeys," says Dan Gibbs, big game biologist for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency in Morristown.
"But they definitely are increasing throughout this region. We estimate outside the national park, the population from Johnson to Polk counties is around 4,000."
This time of year, when young males are dispersing from their mamas and seeking to establish home ranges of their own, they're liable to show up dang-near anywhere — as witness the multiple sightings that occurred last weekend in K-town.
"I look forward to the day when this isn't a big news event," said Gibbs.
"There are good bear populations to the north and south of Knox County. These animals are moving through right now. If people will take small steps — like keeping up their pet food, bird seed and garbage — the bears should keep moving and not be a problem."

Great pictures, Emily! Zach did a better job with the camera this time! Haha - you can always tell which pics you take b/c most of the time they are way cuter. ;-)
Looks like you had a good time!

i REALLY love these shots!! ESPECIALLY the candid ones of u and Kye (way to go, Z!). They look very natural and sweet & that dress looks great on you. Typically you have your specific Emily pose that you do, and I like that these capture you in a different way. One of my faves is the one with your head tilted toward your shoulder.

1,014 apartments for rent near Canton, MA
Apartments in Canton, MA
About 15 miles southwest of downtown Boston sits the traditional brick and mortar East Coast city of Canton. Nestled at the foot of the Great Blue Hills, the Canton River flows through the center of town and enhances the natural beauty of the area. Here, you can find Canton apartments for rent overlooking the stone arch bridge and waterway or nestled back into the woods.

Typical home buying timeline in the Boston area
Bill Kuhlman, CRS, who is the broker/owner of Kuhlman Residential gets down to basics. How long does it take to buy a house in the Boston area?
Im often asked how long the process of buying a home takes. The answer is that there is no one set-in-stone timeline that fits everyones purchase process.
Different people take longer or shorter than average at different stages. For instance, Ive had buyers who found the home they bought during their first day of looking. Ive had others who took over five years.
Here is a typical home buying timeline I share with my buyers, giving them an idea of how long to expect each step to take, or when the steps should be completed.
Activity/Task -- Date
Mortgage Pre-approval -- Day 1
Search for Property -- 1??? days
Offer to Purchase -- As soon as practical after the home is identified
Offer Accepted -- Within 2448 hours
Home Inspection --Within 710 days after Accepted Offer
Due Diligence -- Prior to signing the Purchase and Sale Agreement
Purchase and Sale Agreement (P&S) --- Within 1014 days after Accepted Offer
Submit Complete Mortgage Application -- Within a day or two of P&S (Including P&S, pay stubs, tax records, etc.)
Mortgage Commitment Letter --10 to 21 days after signed P&S
Buyer Secures Insurance Binder (n/a for condos) -- At least one week prior to closing
Set Up Utilities -- At least two days prior to closing
Closing --Typically 5 to 8 weeks after accepted offer (this can vary greatly, as needed)
Bear in mind that we do things a little differently in Eastern Massachusetts than in they do in most of the U.S. For one thing, most of the country skips the offer to purchase and cuts right to the purchase and sale agreement. Like most things in life, there are pluses and minuses to doing it one way over the other.
I happen to like the offer to purchase, which serves as the outline to the deal. This allows the buyer and seller to focus on the high points of the deal, without getting bogged down in all the details. I prefer seeing if the parties can first figure out if they can reach a meeting of the minds on terms such as the price, closing date, and contingencies, without worrying about such details as how many visits the buyer is allowed prior to the closing, remedies to clear the title, warranties, etc. Why waste time with that level of minutiae if the buyer and seller will never agree on a sale price?
If youre a cash buyer, you can theoretically close in a matter of days after getting an accepted offer. That may help you negotiate a better price, especially if the seller is losing money with each passing day. Even if you finance your purchase, its possible the closing can happen fairly quickly, even in todays tough lending environment. I work with one lender who says if everything goes perfectly, he can still close a purchase loan in as little as three weeks.
So even though there are typical times for the various steps in the purchase of a home, I recommend each buyer should figure out what their preferences are. If something should deviate from the typical amount of time, determine the financial and other implications. Then decide if the benefits are equal to or greater than the costs and risks.
If they are, ask for them. You just might get what you want.

While the South Island's West Coast is well known for its magnificent scenery and glaciers, no visit to the area is complete without experiencing Shantytown.
The discovery of gold in 1864 led to a population "explosion" – from around 300 to almost 30,000 residents. Isolation, rugged terrain and extreme weather conditions produced stories of fortitude and ingenuity.
Shantytown tells these stories of New Zealand gold mining history through a fascinating mix of experience and displays. Ride the Steam Train along an original tramway through native rainforest, stop for a photo and watch out for the wekas! Our friendly loco drivers are happy to show you the cab.
Experience the sights and sounds of a working sawmill, watch the mighty sluice gun in action. Follow the races and flumes to the Gold Claim where our Gold Miner will tutor you to pan for your own gold – a strike is guaranteed – you might want to trade your gold in the village.
Beautiful short bushwalks make the rainforest easy to get into and experience at your leisure. The Village, borne of the gold rush offers delicious refreshments from Everybodys Tearooms, while the kids can enjoy the flying fox, or try their hand at the Gold-Rush Treasure Hunt. Explore the 30 shops and buildings that show a slice of life from the early days.
Stop a while and browse the Curio for gifts or send a postcard stamped with the Shantytown's own Post Mark. For a memento of your visit to Shantytown nothing is better than to grab a costume and get an old time photo. There is so much to see and do at Shantytown while learning about gold mining in New Zealand.
First conceived 40 years ago, the local community built and continues to be heavily involved in Shantytown Heritage Park. The Park is run by a Trust and all profits go back into the business. Highlights include:
Our restored 1865 interdenominational church is a popular choice for wedding services, along with outdoor and indoor venues around the village. While firmly rooted in the gold-rush era, Shantytown's conference and corporate events facilities are well and truly 21st century.
Shantytown offers a complete package that includes:
At the peak of the Gold Rush in the 1860's the area in and around Shantytown was home to some 5,000 prospectors and their families.
The gaunt heaps of stones that miners called tailings are now kindly masked by the encroaching native rain forest. At one time, though, the area was alive with Chinese diggers and wild colonial boys tearing into the land, to prize the glittering rewards with their gold dredges and sluicing claims.
Whether you choose to arrive at the Shantytown claim by steam or via a short walk up an exquisite bush pathway, this is a must do experience!
Our gold mining team will guide you through the entire process where you'll be assured of winning a small 'colour' at our old town for gold mining in New Zealand.
Steam power was at the heart of the West Coast's early development. Our gold rush history preserves the experience for new generations of travellers via a short trip (20 minutes) by Steam Train.
All entrances to Shantytown include a ride on one of our vintage Steam Trains. Open from 8:30 am, our first train departs at 9:45 and then at regular intervals throughout the day until 4 pm. On either the 1877 'L' class improved 1896 'F' class Kaitangata, you will take a short trip through lush native rain-forest along a line which follows an original sawmill tram track of the 1800's.
On the return leg our train will stop at the Infants Creek Sawmill where you will disembark and take a short walk to the mighty sluice gun demonstration. This giant water gun blasts gold bearing rock and soil off a cliff face, you then follow the flumes and races down to the gold claim. When you have panned your gold (a strike is guaranteed)! Another short bush-clad walk will have you back in the heart of our recreated village.
With over 30 shops and buildings to explore in the village, you'll find so much to see and do at Shantytown.

Designers of the Do-Over
People who suffer from migraine headaches know that they can keep us in bed for hours and prevent us from going through the motions of a regular day. But what happens when a migraine decides to rear its ugly head on a morning that's more important than, say, one in which you have to run errands and can cancel lunch with an old friend from college? What happens if you get a migraine on your wedding day?
Since one of the triggers of migraines is stress, and, well, getting married can be stressful, the aforementioned situation must happen more than we care to think about. And so, in order to create awareness for the problem, the National Headache Foundation (yes, apparently, there is one), along with the pharmaceutical company Allergan, AGN -0.16 % created a campaign called Rewrite Your Day. People suffering from Chronic Migraine—that's when you have a headache 15 or more days per month with the headache lasting at least four hours—can have the opportunity to relive a moment they may have missed out on the first time around.
To execute said precious moments, Rewrite Your Day teamed up with the event and wedding planner Mindy Weiss, who splits her time between the East and West Coasts and has done weddings for Heidi Klum and Ellen DeGeneres.
"I get a migraine once a month," Ms. Weiss said. "You cannot move, you cannot talk." But in her work, she added, "I've never had a client who missed an event, who can't eat, can't drink alcohol, can't deal with the camera flashes over the course of it."
Joining up with Rewrite Your Day might give another event planner a big ol' headache, but for Ms. Weiss, it "makes me feel good. We like weddings. It's such a huge day. How could you miss your wedding?"
The plan for the campaign was to re-create 15 events. The first, Ms. Weiss said, was a wedding in Baton Rouge; the second was a family reunion on Long Island. On the horizon is a graduation party in Atlanta and a children's performance in Jacksonville. Typically the events happen during the week, "because I have to work on weekends," which is prime wedding territory.
"They're all small," Ms. Weiss said. "It's not actually re-creating the entire affair, but it's bringing in a select group of friends and family. It's the people that mean a lot to them."
Last week, Ms. Weiss re-created a wedding in New York, at Park Avenue Spring. "It's not schlocky," she said. "This is one of my favorite restaurants."
She said she and her staff had a few conversations with contest winner Danielle Mills, who was stricken by a migraine on her wedding day, to find out "what she likes to eat and what she'd like to see." Some of the touches Ms. Mills created included stargazer lilies, reggae music to evoke where Ms. Mills and her husband, Bryan Mills, went on their honeymoon and hiring a high-end photographer so that Ms. Mills didn't have "those headache eyes," as Ms. Weiss called them, in photographs. The menu included a Peekytoe crabcake, King Salmon gravlax and halibut with black truffles and brioche-crusted poached egg.
Ms. Mills works in advertising and lives on the Upper East Side. She said she's been suffering from migraines for more than a decade. Three years ago, she said, "I woke up with one the morning prior to my wedding." It forced her to miss a spa day with her closest friends and family. (She had just started a new job at the time, which she thinks now brought on the stress.) On the morning of her wedding, she had to go back to bed and sleep in.
"Since then, I've learned to manage my migraines," Ms. Mills said. "And I was able to approach this week stress-free." It surely helped that Rewrite Your Day took care of much of the planning, sending Ms. Mills a car and handling the travel arrangements for her small crew of family and friends.
(Ms. Mills's husband doesn't get migraines: "I just help her with hers," he said.)
For this particular day, Ms. Mills invited her parents and her three sisters for a nice long luncheon and then to an evening out. "And my husband, of course," she said. "He made the cut."
So, apparently, has their marriage, considering three years later she wanted to get married again. But of course, that means more stress on the horizon. Because what comes after marriage? Kids, right?
"We're both ready," said Ms. Mills. "It's definitely in our near future."
Bring on the Excedrin.

Years ago I worked for a very large company that had no "union problem." Reason? They took good care of their employees and provided great benefits. Employers don't realized that taking good care of their employees is the surest way to long term success. Working with unions can lead to great results. Unions, representing the employees, can be great partners. Stop looking at employees and unions as the enemy, and all will thrive over the long term. I have found it ironic that U.S. companies take good jobs overseas, and then wonder why they have a weaker consumer base her at home. In the long run, sticking it to your own people is nothing but slow suicide.

Let me tell you of an experience that I had at a trade show in Las Vegas. I had
developed an electronic device that one of my customers wanted to display in his
booth. In order to do that, I had to "hire" a teamster to carry my
laptop sized package into the building. I had to "hire" a carpenter
to open the card-board box and I had to "hire" an electrician to plug
the device into an electrical socket. Each union member charged $20 cash.
After the trade show ended, I had to pay those three unions to "help"
me with that device. It cost $120.
No one was allowed to do the ordinary things that we all do everyday.
If the unions had their way, a teamster would have to carry our groceries from the store to the car and a member of the electricians union would have to be called to change our light bulbs.
Unions want us to be forced to pay them for jobs that we can do, and then they want a very nice retirement. Look at GM and Chrysler.
Thank goodness Utah is a right to work State.

If you have ever worked for a competitive wage or received a company paid benefit such as health insurance or had a system of airing grievances in the work place then you owe appreciation to organized labor. In right to work states you work for less and are more likely to be injured and injured more seriously. These are facts that fools don't appreciate until something happens or they try to find another job. If you think wages have been stagnant in the past 20 years, which they have, then take away the only form of true democracy in the workplace and see what happens. Yes, power corrupts but when the dictators have no push back you are another step closer to slavery.

Great letter. The Gop has been on the attack ever since Ronny Reagan fired the air traffic controlers. Deregulation destroyed the trucking and airline industies. Destroyed hundreds of thousands of jobs. What we need is a national union, where everyone has healthcare. Oh wait Obama and the rest of congress passed the affordable healthcare act. Good start.

If you work a 40-hour work week, thank the unions. If you are paid at an
overtime rate for working more than 40 hours a week, thank the unions. If you
have two days a week off, thank the unions. If you have a paid vacation, thank
the unions. If you have holidays off, thank the unions. If you have safe
working conditions, And a lot more.
Granted unions can go over-the-top on occasion, BUT the decent working conditions we have now are all thanks to past union activities. Thanks to them for the work they have done in the past that makes all of our lives better now.

Although weâve come a long way baby, thereâs still a long way to go
and itâs all uphill.
Some tell us we are not like the other animals. We have the ability to think and therefore are no longer enslaved by our natural needs and desires. They try to hide the fact that we still live in a jungle where the strong eat the weak.
I think the ones telling us that, are ones who have not let go of their predatory nature.
The same people who propagandize freedom and liberty are the same people who would strip people of their freedom and liberty in their quest for wealth.
Business, who owns the government, wants to create un unfair game where they have the advantage and can diminish the power of their opponents. In this case, those people who are workers and consumers.
They claim freedom for themselves, in actions, size and motivation, while working diligently to prevent worker/consumer combinations that could ask for equal treatment.
They tout personal responsibility and singular effort as virtue to prevent cooperative power for their âfriendly enemiesâ in the worker/consumer group.
They demean, mischaracterize as evil and use all sorts of detrimental propagandizing to weaken and remove protection from their prey.
The thing we have going in our favor is the union we call America, membership is automatic though not mandatory, dues are required and to some extent we get to vote.

Union membership is something whose time has come and gone; it served workers
well during the heyday in the first 75 or so years of the 20th century, but
Labor Unions have now has become irrelevant.
I cite just two specific statistics that shows this to be true:
In 2011, the union membership rate of wage and salary workers who were members of a union has dwindled down to 11.8 percent. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent. [Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011].
Union membership peaked at 28.3 percent in 1954. [Source: Congressional Research Source for Congress, 31 Aug 2004].
Just a side note: The majority of today's Union member's work for Federal, State, and Local Governments; not the private sector.

Most of you are missing the point of Republicans against unions - including the
author of this letter, Terryl Erickson. Wisconsin's governor is not against
unions, nor is he trying to get rid of them. He is only against "public
employee unions" using taxpayer money to line the pockets of the union
leaders and confiscate tax dollars by continuously trying to raise salaries,
give public employees free healthcare, and overly generous retirements at
taxpayer expense.
It is true that because of unions, we all have better working conditions than there were back in the day of their origination. We don't need unions nearly a much today as we did back then. In fact, IMHO, we don't need unions at all - but that's another story.
The problem at hand is that public employees should never have been allowed to unionize - not when they are being paid with my tax dollars and yours. Why should the tax dollars of someone making $10 an hour contribute to a public employee's healthcare? And if public employees feel they need to fork out a big chunk of their paycheck to have someone speak for them, I call that copping out. Private sector employees handle their own issues. And why do most public employees make more money (taxpayer funded) than a comparable job in the private sector?
It's just fine if you union members want to fork out money to your union, but you are also paying for public employees. So you are double paying money that could be in your pocket. How does that sit with you?
The cushy government jobs have been well-known for years and years. There is nothing different now, except that the public is tired of funding those cushy jobs with great healthcare and better retirement than most of the rest of us. The time has come for the taxpayers to stand up to public employee unions - we've had enough of paying for them.

There needs to be a balance beween Unions and Management/owners. The companies
are united. Workers need to be united too, or else workers will not get their
just share of the wealth they help to produce.
Even workers who aren't a member of a union or who work at a place that is unionized benefit from workers who do unite.
Without the threat of unions and the laws that unions have helped to pass, workers would not have nearly what they have today.
Unless we want a world where management and owners get way more than their share of the wealth and workers don't get their due, people need to guard against this.
Unions are an important piece in this.

To "LDS Liberal" I hate to tell you this, but everything that you say
about the GOP can be said equally about the Democrats.
Lets look at their record, not just rhetoric.
The Democrats enacted a SS tax break over a year ago. This tax break will contribute to the implosion of SS. Why are the Democrats out to destroy SS through sucking the life out of it?
The Democrats are anti-worker, or at least anti-US worker. When the Democrats were proposing their Cap-and-Trade bill, it included incentives for companies to move their manufacturing overseas. Also, lets not forget it was Obama, who added $9 billion in red tape in 1 month last year. This sort of action pushes companies to seek countries that are business friendly.
The Democrats are anti-Healthcare also. Just look at the healthcare bill. It was designed to take care of less than 50% of the uninsured, it raised the cost of insurance through new mandates, and increased its overall cost through taxes on premium insurance plans. If they really wanted to provide care to the uninsured, why not create a government agency full of doctors, clinics and labs? Why go after the middleman?
They are anti-women's issue because they want to make sex more acceptable, and eliminate the consequences of insufficient protection. Women are complaining about the lack of decent men to marry, why are Democrats not addressing that? Couldn't we eliminate the "women's issues" if men were taught to be a man and wait until marriage for sex?
The Democrats are anti-taxing the wealthy. Just look at the tax cuts they have allowed to either continue or to be passed. The Bush tax cuts expired in December 2010, the Democrat controlled congress and President extended those cuts.
The Democrats are Pro-War. Just look at how quick they were to send US planes into Libya, the surge into Afghanistan, and the troops into Africa. Also, consider this, if they are so anti-war, why have they funded it for the past 11 years? Why not defund the war and pull the troops back immediately, they have the ability to do so whenever they want.
The Democrats are pro-uber wealthy. Just look at who is benefiting from much of their legislation. You have Soros' railroads benefiting from stopping the Keystone pipeline, you have Gore that would have benefited from cap and trade, and the executives at GE that benefited by not having to pay corporate income taxes.
Tell us again how different your beloved democrats are.

She is in her early teens I guess, so she competes as a junior. I don't believe that I've seen anyone take on a challenge with the same degree of drive, confidence and commitment. I would like to capture just a bit of that and pass it on in my pictures.
I hope you like this, make it a great day.

A super well timed action shot. Well done!
An excellent capture, really portrays the action.
Fantastic Nev , captured all the emotion and drive superbly .
Sean .
Exc shot - such power and movement - wonderful !
Excellent work New - super details and tones - well deserved HC.
Regards Richard.
perfect comp with all the action. I like the determination in the cowgirl's face. She knows where she's going.
Hi Nev, how the year has slipped by so quickly. Great time you showed us at Vulcan last year. Yep, you sure do put that drive and enthusiasm across in your images and deserve all the credit you get for them.Sylv.
You've definitely achieved your objective with this one. Very well timed shot.
A stunning collection of images, this is probably one of my favourite if not my absolute favourite.
An another D2Xs user, I see.
You caught herat the apex of her turn, with just enough dirt splatter to achieve an almost slo-mo feel. Brilliant image, well done.
Nothing like that is my part of the world, more's the pity.
Well done.
best regards

Single cut guitars are a particularly classic design based on one of the first electric guitars produced, and a gigantic proportion of players prefer the comfort of the one-cut contouring on the body, for great fret access with a sustain-friendly body.
The sheer range of single-cuts available across numerous brands and styles is of course gigantic. Choices are to be made in terms of pickups – single-cut, humbucker or soapbar among others – the hard-tail, trem, or Floyd options and of course the body and neck woods themselves.
Numerous finishes are also available so you can look exactly how you've always imagined on stage and sound formidable and confident in the studio too. If there is too much choice, feel free get in touch with our sales staff for advice on which might suit you best.

Creationists do not expect evolutionists to 'follow'. However we have the 'facts' in our favour, regardless of your not following.
This seems to be a favorite tactic among Creationists. A few months ago, TheBlackSheep asked, "How was your god created?" KJV replied, "It's beyond your understanding."
I once asked a Creationist where were all the pre-Ordovician fish, pre-Devonian amphibians, pre-Pennsylvanian reptiles, pre-Jurassic birds, and pre-Tertiary mammals which the palaeontologists say they can't find.
He said that the question could only be expressed in language which a materialistically-minded Evolutionist like me couldn't understand.
This is a clever ruse.
One party can never prove that the other party doesn't have an insight which cannot be expressed.
However, there is a catch to it: unfalsifiable hypotheses are also unverifiable.

You just illustrated the "mad" part of science. Some scientists get so preoccupated with whether they could, they often forget if they should.
The only reason the binary system has succeeded at all because of the combination of genetic material from both parts, the diversity effect which makes the species stronger. If we eliminate that one small benefit it offers, our species will die off, that is a guarantee. However there are a lot of reproduction systems, and the binary is just barely successful, the others are way more successful because they have produced more species and larger genetic diversity, as well as offering more chances for beneficial traits in those species.
Trinary, or the "bisexual" reproductive system is one of the better ones, it allows members of the species to alter gamete production based on the needs of the species, thus maintaining a careful balance between diversity and resource limitations, though it has the unfortunate side effect of making that species capable of completely destroying foreign environments if relocated, one of the things humans need to be more considerate of in using these species as pets.
The pollination reproductive system of plants is the ultimate in reproductive systems. It is why plants have more species than any of the other kingdoms, and why there are so durable and can recover even genetic bottlenecks with almost no lapse in propagation. Because everything fertilizes everything.
Asexual reproduction is the worst form of reproduction for higher life forms, but allows for faster propagation if the resources allow it, that is why it remains in the virus, bacteria, and very few minimally complex species. It offers the least genetic diversity, but because of not requiring fertilization the species can propagate from a single member to thousands, as long as the resources allow it, within a very short time. But again, due to the low genetic diversity new traits are not as frequent and thus the appearance of beneficial traits becomes far less frequent. most such species depend on a lack of change from other species as food, that is why the viruses for binary reproductive systems are more various than others, we just don't have that diversity to resist them that others do.
Out of space almost, but basically, binary is the second worst reproductive system, and if we remove that, becoming asexual reproduction, we doom ourselves to extinction.

#70445 Jan 9, 2013
There are some critters that are rather different at times, like egg bearers however, and even range into a different category, than the usual "propagation" methods!
Quote from article-on certain "insects"-
"There are, however, rare examples of asexual species that reproduce by cloning. Each offspring is genetically identical to the parent, with little variation generation after generation.(Mutations do create a minor amount of change.)
If asexual reproduction survives at all, conditions must sometimes favor it, even in competition for a niche with sexually reproducing species. Some insects, like aphids, are both asexual and sexual reproducers. Though rare, those species that reproduce asexually tend to persist...."

I am not a fan of OpenSource, that is why I prefer Britannica. It's okay for home users that don't mind risking and troubleshooting the headaches that can (and do) arise from it, but I find it's methods tainted, invasive and highly unsecured in a world where security breaches have reached pandemic levels.
Therefore, that is the biggest reason I personally view wikistoopedia, as unethical, a continual violation of data security, and in some cases, worse.
Who wants to headbang over other peoples mistakes. Not I, been there, done that, leaves MUCH to be improved upon, over and over and over.:-).
#70448 Jan 9, 2013
See previous post on why I do not favor OpenSource, anything. It's almost like accepting viri, just because it's free, and then sticking it in peoples eyes without care, for damaging their retinas.
But we know how people like fwee stuff!
Evolution is Science, I personally Like Science, finding it FAR more interesting and time worthy, than inane, rather myopic, dark age ramblings which generally end up referencing mere philosophical viewpoints, that then further denigrate into kindergarten sandbox level mentalities of the "witch hunting via pitchfork and torch" categories...just plain ol' nasty and quite limited, in having anything with any real merit, ethics or substance.

Those who are guilty of conducting wars of aggression in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, waging a covert war against Syria, planning war against Iran and carrying out targeted assassinations, rendition and torture have no compunction in trampling on fundamental precepts of international law. Vice President Joseph Biden has described Assange as a high-tech terrorist and secret US Air Force documents have branded WikiLeaks and Assange as the enemy, placing them on a legal par with Al-Qaeda. WikiLeaks Internet domains have been shut down and its financial operations blocked by numerous US corporations.

THAT is the cynicism, that you seem to find.
Women don't create life. They accept its presence. It's a very large responsibility, yes. The Church exploits that fear and turns it into a fantasy myth where women believe they have magical intuitive powers to shape and control those around them. It's no less contemptible and socially maladjusted than the Church's efforts to exploit the fear of death in people.
The Church doesn't have quite the same control over men due to the male dominated culture, and so their efforts to marginalize nonconformist men is far greater, but they probably contend with more women who won't fit in no matter how faithful.
Face it. Reproduction is not about religion. You're either confident in your choice to do so or you're not, and sometimes you take chances that you may pay for because Christian society will not forgive you for abandoning their rules and their pecking order.
I say, if you're going to break with Christian nonsense, don't bother to take your "mother earth" mythology with you. It's nothing but residual Christian arrogance with none of the herd benefits to offset it.
That's one of the things the younger generation doesn't get. The sixties/seventies kids grew up with feminism, and watched it wither. Too many young women wanted respect in the business world, and to be put on a pedestal too. When it was over, those young women made a choice and returned to the herd in defeat. It's too bad in a way, but if you're going to be a renegade, honesty with yourself is the first requirement.

I am in a business that is particularly dependent on computer resources and spend perhaps 75% of my time waiting for my computer to catch up hence my time on topix. I chose Linux as the OS and ooo as the office, both open source because they tend to be more reliable and considerably less expensive in setup, down time, crashes, upgrades etc than a comparable paid solution.
I believe the reason for this is commercial. Open source software (certainly the more high end offerings) are fully debugged before being released whereas writers of the commercial offerings are under pressure to publish and let the paying customers report the problems for rectification at a later date.
As an example, when we first set up the business and were looking of an OS we discovered that the then version of Windows blue screened on a fairly regular basis and to that date there were just 5 linux crashes that could be attributed to OS or driver faults. No contest.
However there is a flaw, Although much of the donkey work is done under Linux there is no Linux software (yet) to match the power and function of such offerings as 3Ds Max and Maya so these programmes need to run in a windows shell or second (dedicated) PC
Then of course we have hardware costs. Some of our computers are over 12 years old (they were particularly high end multi processor devices back in the day). To this day they do what we need as seamlessly and fast as modern multi core machines without falling over so often.

I'm partially loyal to Microsoft, but I don't trust the Cloud, I don't like home users meddling with my machines and I don't like Microsoft's licensing. They're stagnating the way IBM did and someone will likely tip them over on their backs like a tortoise if they don't do something to get the consumer market back.

Since when has Wikipedia been a source of viruses? That is one of the most insane fears I have ever heard. Yes, there are viruses out there, that is why I have a good anti-virus program. In fact if someone slips in a suspect, not even a definite source of viruses and malware, my program won't let me go to that site (McAfee by the way). It has no problem with Wikipedia.
And if you don't have enough protection why are you even debating people who might link you to a site much worse than the "evil" Wikipedia.
Sorry, your excuse is one of the lamest I have ever seen.

Google (just run it flawed and let the bugs/germs be fwee!!) and any other generic "droid" apps., are not the best for practicing any "security enhance" methods...Apple gets a little better "grade" for at least trying to keep a little "checksum integrity".
People need to "devolve" a little with some of the technology stuff. Why have everything "cloud" accessible, when "everything" really doesn't need to be. Imagine the actual worthwhile WORK, that might get accomplished again!!!
And how many versions of Windows do people reallllly need in any given seven or so year time Microsoft.

INDIANAPOLIS — Illinois had been in this position before against Indiana.
In the last game of January, the Illini trailed the Hoosiers by two at the half in Bloomington, only to be outscored 14-5 in the early minutes after the break. They never recovered and lost their sixth straight in what became a nearly devastating eight-game losing streak.
On Thursday here, though, in the opening game of the Big Ten tournament, the Illini continued to rewrite the script.
A hard-fought 64-54 victory — its second of the season against the Hoosiers — advanced Illinois (19-13) to a second-round matchup with mighty Michigan. The Wolverines, regular-season league champs, blasted the Illini by 31 on March 4 in Champaign.
The Illini led by two at the half this time, then watched the Hoosiers rip off a 10-3 spurt out of the locker room for a 38-33 edge. This time, the No. 9-seeded Illini didn't cave. A perfectly timed 11-0 run put them back in command.
Junior point guard Tracy Abrams had one of the best games of his career, scoring 25 points and adding seven rebounds.
Illinois moved to 6-2 all-time against Indiana in the Big Ten tournament. With another victory on Friday, the Illini would be in the semifinals for a league-leading 13th time.
An NIT bid at the least now seems a near certainty. The NCAA Tournament is another matter; CBS Sports "bracketologist" Jerry Palm told the Sun-Times Thursday that the Illini need at least two more victories before they'll "even be considered" by the NCAA selection committee.

How Do You Measure a Constitutional Moment? Using Algorithmic Topic Modeling to Evaluate Bruce Ackerman's Theory of Constitutional Change
Young, Daniel Taylor, The Yale Law Journal

The Challenge of Measurement E. A New Approach II. RESEARCH DESIGN A. Quantifying Public Discourse B. The Use of Newspapers as a Proxy for Political Attention C. Methodology D. Data III. RESULTS A. Hypothesis 1: Evidence of Constitutional Discourse 1. The 1866 Election 2. The 1868 Election 3. Parsing Out Constitutional Topics 4. Hierarchical Modeling and the Structure of Discourse, 1866-1868 B. Hypothesis 2: Comparing Normal and Constitutional Politics, 1866-1884 CONCLUSION
When considering the long arc of American constitutional history, most legal historians recognize that constitutional change sometimes occurs outside the boundaries of Article V's formal amendment process. Three moments, in particular, have become touchstones of legal scholarship: (1) the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, purporting to comply with the requirements of Article V but in reality occurring under armed occupation as a precondition for Southern states' readmission to the Union; (2) the juridical revolution ushered in by the New Deal; and (3) the legal transformation wrought by the civil rights movement. Each of these periods of constitutional upheaval featured powerful coalitions purporting to represent "We the People." The battle over Reconstruction pitted Radical Republicans against President Johnson and recalcitrant Democrats; (1) the New Deal involved a showdown between President Roosevelt and the "Four Horsemen" of the Supreme Court; (2) and the civil rights movement pitted activists against the apartheid South. (3) If we accept the premise that constitutional change occurs outside the Article V amendment process, then we need a way to evaluate the claims of competing constitutional visions during times of political tumult. How are we to weigh the legitimacy of claims to speak for We the People?
Bruce Ackerman's theory of constitutional change is an attempt to systematize an answer to that question. Ackerman's initial move is to posit that the United States has a "dualist democracy," meaning that it operates in two distinct modes--a "normal politics" mode and a "higher lawmaking" mode. (4) The dualist-democracy thesis starts from the premise that most of the time American citizens do not grapple with higher-order questions of constitutional law. As Ackerman puts it, one half of the "cyclical pattern" of American history "is characterized by normal politics, during which most citizens keep a relatively disengaged eye on the to-and-fro in Washington." (5) During these periods of normal politics, those who advocate for transformation are "regularly rebuffed at the polls in favor of politics-as-usual." (6) On rare occasions, however, debates that occur among governing elites during times of "normal" politics spill into the national discourse and catch the attention of the American people. Ackerman argues that during these periods of constitutional transformation key elections push constitutional change forward. On Ackerman's telling, certain elections legitimate constitutional change because voters, in contrast to their behavior during times of normal politics, pay special attention to the constitutional questions on the national agenda. (7) Critically, then, Ackerman's argument about popular sovereignty hinges on voter attention. Its principal claim--that voters pay particular attention to constitutional issues during periods of higher lawmaking--should be amenable to empirical scrutiny. But what variable to measure? And how? Pure electoral returns are silent on the question of why individuals voted or what issues were particularly salient for them at the ballot box. Public opinion polling is also problematic (8) and, in any event, is not available to help us evaluate constitutional politics during earlier periods of American history, such as Reconstruction. …

Lions DT Ndamukong Suh is entering the final year of his rookie contract. / Andrew Weber, USA TODAY Sports
When Al "Bubba" Baker saw Ndamukong Suh at the Detroit Lions' first organized team activity of the spring Tuesday, he saw a look in the three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle's eyes that he knew all too well.
"You got to remember this: Guys like Suh look in the program on Sunday and find a reason not to like that guy that they're watching film on all week long. So the word is 'intensity,' " Baker said. "That's what I saw today. I saw a guy, I looked at him, he looked me right in my eyes. I just nodded my head, and he nodded his head, I know he's ready."
The object of much scorn this offseason for his decision not to take part in the first six weeks of voluntary workouts, Suh joined his teammates for the first time this spring for an optional practice this week.
Baker, who watched about half of the two-hour workout, said he believes that all of the talk about Suh's offseason workout habits and about whether the Lions should trade their best defensive player will only serve to motivate him this fall.
"He's from my era, and you just can tell," said Baker, a pass-rushing defensive end for the Lions from 1978 through 1982, said. "Right now, he's not in a social mood. See, when you're a player and you hear talks of trade and hear all that, it's a lie when you say it doesn't affect you. It's like hearing rumors of your girlfriend messing around, it shakes you.
"Guys like Suh, they play for the love of just - it's the only place where you can kick the hell out of somebody, and you won't go to jail. It is. It really is. So all that stuff, and certainly this late in the game, it hurts. â?¦ That self-applied pressure, I saw it on his face today. It's good."
Suh, who's in the middle of negotiating a long-term contract extension that could wrap up this summer, has not taken part in most early offseason workouts the last two years. Typically, he shows up for OTA practices such as the Lions held Tuesday - at which players can wear helmets and compete in 11-on-11 drills - and mandatory minicamp in June.
Lions center Dominic Raiola said he has been in contact with and seen Suh recently, and that Suh, who worked out at the team's practice facility, apart from teammates, earlier this offseason is in his usual peak physical condition.
Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Sunday that Suh's absence from voluntary workouts doesn't bring his leadership ability into question, as some have suggested.
"I've been a few places in my time and I can cite you so many different examples of guys that maybe weren't here during the time period that did a tremendous job, just in terms of their leadership and those kinds of things, and I don't expect him to be any different," Caldwell said. "I think he'll fit into that category, as opposed to any other category you'd like to slide him into."

Stan Fulham: The Military And Ufos
- Uploaded by Ghost32 on Dec 20, 2010
- Views: 563
Stan Fulham has had a full career. In World War Two, he was a pilot with the Canadian Air Force and spent some time in a Prison of War Camp in Poland after being shot down. Later he returned to military service and was a flight officer working radar relays to pilots from his ground station guiding them into targets or bogey's for NORAD. Here he became involved in UFO radar contact and followed this experience with a life-long search for answers to the UFO question.
In this interview Stan tells Jerry about these experiences plus how he became involved with secret information confirming not only the existence of UFOs but contact by military governments around the world with ETs, mainly the Greys as they are known in pop culture. This discussion about his book involves also some serious thinking about the environment and he says the ETs are going to show up and intervene because we are on a path of natural destruction of our environment, something he says that has been repeated throughout the Universe with hundreds of dead planets in existence and complete extinction of life on them.

- Product Details
Jay Robb Whey Protein Strawberry Flavor is made from the finest natural ingredients available and delivers 25 grams of first class protein, 0-fat, 0-cholesterol, 0-sugars, and only 1 gram of carbohydrate per 30 gram serving. Only cold-processed cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate is used as the protein source and this material comes from farm-raised, pasture-grazed, grass-fed cows not treated with the synthetic bovine growth hormone rBGH.
Jay Robb Whey Protein Strawberry Flavor isolate, which is used exclusively in Jay Robb's Whey Protein, is created by microfiltering liquid whey through a special ceramic membrane to create the highest grade of whey protein possible. This unique process also yields a whey protein isolate that is much higher in protein than a whey protein concentrate and is also rich in immunoglobulins, alpha-lactalbumin, and beta-lactoalbumin and other immune boosting factors.
Jay Robb Whey Proteins come in other amazing flavors including: Jay Robb Vanilla Whey Protein & Jay Robb Chocolate Whey Protein
