Stylish Reading Glasses
In years gone by various stigma was placed on persons wearing eye glasses for corrected vision.. The problem then rested in the types of frames available and the lenses recommended. Most were black, thick and unbecoming.
In today's world, frames have become trendier, sporty and many associated with
popular figures or prominent people. The glasses manufacturers taking their
cue has developed a wide range of products, taking various variables into
consideration such as face shape, personality, career or profession to come up
with a line to compliment a person and their position.
Whether a prescription ordered by an optician or simple reading glasses bought off the rack, frames no longer have to be boring or an obstacle to a person's attractiveness. Instead, choosing the right frame can enhance the general appearance and compliment the wearer's personality.
Choosing the right fashion Reading glasses comes in various types and whatever the shape of your face or your personality there is a pair of stylish reading glasses to fit you perfectly. There are some things to bear in mind, most importantly you and your personality. Remember you will be wearing the product and like any article of clothing, what fits someone else may not be attractive on you.
The key is to know your personality and determine what type of stylish reading glasses you can wear comfortably and with confidence. Study the shape of your face and facial features including nose mouth and jaw line to get the proper fit. Then to make your choice easier, narrow down your search by looking at specific features you want in your glasses.
This could include its shape whether conservative or more fun loving, depending on your personality and the image you want to project to the world. Many utilize more than one pair of glasses for their different roles and functions in life. For the position as business executive, a more conservative look such as solid narrow black or brown rims would be preferred to classy animal print wider frames.
On the other hand for a business executive in the fashion industry, classy animal print frames may be highly acceptable. Frames for people in other professions or students can also be attractive and pleasing on the eye and the manufacturers have placed a wide range of products on the market to assist you in making the decision which reading eyeglasses is right one for you.
Affordability of Stylish Eyeglass The cost of fashionable glasses for those needing something more than just reading glasses should not be the reason to settle for a product that is dull and unattractive. There is heavy competition in the eyeglasses industry today, therefore stylish frames are more popular and can be had at a lower rate than ever before.
A great idea is to check our variety of styles and choose the pair that you feel suits you the most. Then you would have trendy stylish reading glasses at a fraction of cost.

Michael Sam made history as the first openly gay NFL prospect. On Feb. 21, ESPN reported that Sam has addressed the media and made quite an impression.
Although Michael Sam says that NFL teams have not questioned him about his sexuality and how it will affect his abilities on the field, the media sure asked. Sam very graciously replied too, acting as the perfect spokesperson for gay players in professional sports. Unfortunately, this is not what Sam wants.
Sam was clear in saying that he does not want to be the gay poster child for the NFL. He wants to be recognized for his abilities on the field. When asked if he is bothered by all the questions surrounding his Feb. 9 announcement, he replied, "Oh, heck yeah, I wish you guys were just saying, 'Hey, Michael Sam, how's football going? How's training going?' I would love if you'd ask me that question."
Sam went on to say that he understands the curiosity in regards to how successful he will be as a professional football player. Once drafted, he will be the only openly gay NFL player in history and whether he likes it or not, he will be a role model and spokesperson.
Michael Sam was relatively unknown prior to his announcement. Now, he is surrounded by a media circus and football fans know his name. The Missouri defensive end is now making a huge impact on football both at the college and professional levels. As much as Sam contends that he does not want to be known as the "gay football player," it is exactly why he is known.
Michael Sam's experience will be a great starting point for acceptance in the NFL and other sports. Following the coming out of Jason Collins last year and the bullying story of Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, the atmosphere and culture in the NFL is changing tremendously. Professional football players were previously treated more like fraternity brothers than employees and quickly those in charge are learning that times are changing.

A 35-year-old city woman convicted earlier this year of obstructing official business and driving under suspension after a 2011 altercation with police has been sentenced to one month in jail and two years' probation.
She won't, however, enter Mahoning County jail right away.
Doretha Weston of Miller Street appeared Thursday for sentencing before Judge Robert P. Milich of Youngstown Municipal Court. Weston is the second woman sentenced in an altercation with Youngstown police officers Kevin Mercer and Patrick Mulligan.
Weston, after her sentencing hearing, asked the judge to delay her sentence until she has had time to file an appeal. The judge granted the motion.
Before being sentenced, Weston asked the judge for mercy.
"I want to sincerely apologize for my actions and any disrespect to this court," she said. "I do have a great respect for the law and authority, and I just ask that you show mercy on me."
Weston's co-defendant 45-year-old Desiree Johnson of West Princeton Avenue, was sentenced to 330 days in jail, followed by three years' probation and fined $650 for obstructing official business, resisting arrest and assault on the officers.
The officers pulled the women over in the 1700 block of Overland Avenue on March 30, 2011, because Weston failed to signal before turning, police said.
The officers said the women refused to show them their driver's licenses or leave the car as ordered.
Mercer said he pulled Weston from her car and took her to the ground. He said Johnson dialed 911 to report that he was assaulting Weston and would not get off the phone or leave the car when told to do so.
Reports indicate Mulli- gan pulled Johnson from the car, and she threw punches, striking both officers.
The women have repeatedly said the officers attacked and beat them, and Johnson said one of the officers ripped her cellphone from her hand.
Atty. Robert Harvey, representing Weston, told the court his client was driving a car only the day of the traffic stop because she had taken a friend to the hospital. He said she became highly emotional thinking her co-defendant was being mistreated by the officers.
Harvey said Weston's actions the day of the traffic stop were "squarely outside of how she lives her life."
Harvey said Weston has become unemployed and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after the incident.
Bassil Ally, an assistant city prosecutor, told the judge Weston deserved time in jail to think about what she has done. He pointed out Weston apologized to the court but has yet to apologize to the officers.
Judge Milich also ruled Weston must serve 80 hours of community service and pay a $250 fine.
That's what you get for not respecting the law...lucky you didn't get more time, and stop blaming your life on PTSD.
Both of these women, Doretha weston and Desiree Johnson are at home. Lt. Kevin Mercer and Officer Patrick Mulligan should be fired, They would be fired if Jimmy Hughes wasn't afraid of Kevin Mercer. That judge owes the ladies apologies. Every time I see COP, I get my video camera ready, You never know what their scandalous behinds are thinking. Rogue, renegade Cops. Both of them and I know that there are a lot more of them. Everyday, somewhere, bad cops are getting fired. Can't wait for the domino effect to hit this town.
Not you again redding, 12 comments on free the people.
Your family is trash, you are trash your sniveling becomes you.
I am going to take Mercer out for lunch, he sure does the YPD proud.
By the way how's your black panther movement going?

Retired educator Judy Mackey of Terrell, Texas, believes her years working with children initially helped pull her toward volunteering with Jake E's Riding Round Up, a Kaufman-based therapeutic horseback riding facility. Judy holds a Bachelors of Science from the University of Alabama and a Masters of Education from Texas A&M Commerce, and finds her more than 30-years working in multiple school districts a great resource when looking at ways to serve the non-profit.
Judy was recently elected to the seven person leadership Board after helping with a grant writing project. She hopes to expand her involvement with the clients of Jake E's Riding Round Up, and believes joining the Board was a perfect way to broaden her contribution to the organization in a leadership capacity. " I hope to help with more grant writing, and expansion seeking donations. As a Board member I plan to speak to groups about Jake E's Riding Round Up and the fabulous work being done here."
Jake E's Riding Round Up is a Christian non-profit healing center offering P.E.A.C.E. – People thru Equines Achieving Courage & Empowerment. The Center was established in memory of founder Jana Ewing's 3-year-old son, Jacob Eli, who died in a tragic, non-equine related accident in April of 2010. The non-profit offers services to a variety of clients in Kaufman, Van Zandt, Smith, Rockwall and Dallas Counties including veterans and at-risk youth as well as elderly and special needs individuals.
"Every life should be valued and each person treated with dignity," says Judy."I have a vested interest in helping further establish the Jake E's therapeutic programs for veterans because my son is a Marine."
Involved with Jake E's Riding Round Up for more than a year, Judy's grown daughter Paige Nolan, a Jake E's Riding Instructor, initially introduced her to the Kaufman, Texas-based therapeutic healing center.

Mechele Kent is a young mom trying to keep up with a teenage daughter.
Four years ago that became almost impossible to do.
She says she didn't realize arthritis could hit someone her age.
"I think of my dad or you know my grandma or something.. I just never thought of it as me," says Kent.
Most people would have a tough time picturing an active woman in her early forties with rheumatoid arthritis.
But Kent is actually the average age of RA sufferers.
"Cranking the car, opening the gas cap, toothpaste, just stuff like that was beginning to be a challenge for me," Kent says.
Over a four year span her pain got progressively worse.
"Nobody should live in that pain."
Rheumatologist Dr. Hulon Crayton says there have been more advances for arthritis patients over the past ten years than in the previous one hundred.
"Before we used to have to watch people deteriorate and lose their quality of life. But now we can actually stop the progression of the disease and get people back to living normal active lifestyles,"
Dr. Crayton adds the first thing people need to know is pain is not normal.
He says, "pain is a barometer it's like that light on your dash board that goes off, that's telling you something is wrong."
And people should listen - because arthritis can cause more than just pain, deformity, and disfigurement.
"Certain forms of arthritis can actually shorten your life span. There are certain types of cancers that are higher in people with rheumatic diseases."
Since starting treatment, Kent says she has her life back.
"I'm back running, I'm more involved with the cheerleaders now. I've pretty much gone back to what I used to do prior to not being treated for it. And the sooner you get treated, the better."

Photographer Bob Gannon, who has traveled long and far to attend Paul McCartney concerts both in and out of the U.S., told Beatles Examiner he had to be at Candlestick Park for the concert last week. "As soon as this concert was announced, I knew that this was the one to be at on this tour," he said. "Just the history of the venue where the Beatles played their last concert on August 29, 1966 would make this one a very special night.
"But this event was more than a Paul McCartney concert, more than the Beatle's historic concert. It was about a lot of the hometown fans who cheered on the Giants and 49ers for so many years. The ticket holders who have held the same seats in their families for decades. The memories for them were both sad and sweet but if there was going to be a good way to finish out it's 54 years of tradition, Paul McCartney and a 50,000 person sing-along was one hell of a way to go out!"
Gannon said that the sports tradition of the venue played a part in the look of the fans attending. "Paul McCartney shows are always used to seeing Beatles and McCartney t-shirts, but there was also a large presence of 49ers and Giants apparel as well."
He attended the pre-show sound check. "This day started at 2:45 p.m. for check-in and line-up. We were quickly led down to the field as Sir Paul was early and ready to rock. Paul and band then ran through 14 songs, 12 of which would not be played later during the concert. He dedicated "San Francisco Bay Blues" to VIP coordinator Shelley Lazar, who danced up and down the line of over 250 sound checkers to a large group of 'We Love Shelley' signs with hearts! A show of love from a group known as 'fans on the run.'"
Here's the set list from the Candlestick sound check: "Matchbox," "Blue Suede Shoes," "Honey Don't," "Junior's Farm," "Drive My Car," "Let 'Em In," "C Moon," "It's So Easy," "San Francisco Bay Blues," "Every Night," "Leaning on a Lamp Post," "Midnight Special," "Bluebird," "Lady Madonna."
He says the group was then taken upstairs to a private room for dinner and drinks to await the show. "Went down to my seat around 7 p.m. to meet some folks and find my seat. I think it was around 9 p.m. when Paul finally emerged on stage to 50,000 plus screaming fans. And from the first notes of "Eight Days a Week" you knew that this was going to be a party to remember."
Gannon said the crowd was in full love mode. "Paul played three hours of Beatles, Wings and solo songs to the delight of the crowd. The first time he told a Candlestick story he joked that the experience was so bad that the Beatles never came back! During the show he also noted that he had lovely memories of that show and also that it was the last Beatles show. Paul added 'San Francisco Bay Blues' to his VIP coordinator, Shelley Lazar just like sound check and welcomed her home to San Francisco!"
He said McCartney also read a few signs during the show. "'Have you Hugged a disabled Vet recently' to which he answered 'No.' 'Will you sign my butt?, which he answered with a resounding 'no.' The 'Fans on the Run' group had a few surprises for Paul and gang. During the song 'NEW', the whole row held up signs spelling out "NEW" in the same blocked letters as on the album while they waved them during the song.
During "Band on the Run", signs were held up across the row spelling out 'Fans on the Run We Love Paul,' with a few hearts thrown in between letters. During the last chorus it made Paul smile and he actually replaced the lyrics with 'Fans on the Run' as he pointed down the row of signs in acknowledgment. At the end of the song, he also nodded and pointed down the row of fans.
"This group had one more surprise in store for Paul & Band. Just before 'Golden Slumbers,' Paul took time to thank his band and crew. The row held up signs that said, 'Thanks,' and then the names of Paul, band and crew members and at the end of the row it said 'See you next time.'"
Another moments of note during the show was during "Let It Be," he said. "I turned around to look at a sea of lights around the stadium. It was a really cool moment. And 'Live and Let Die' had extra pyrotechnics."
During the second encore, it appeared that the fans were not the only ones with a surprise, Gannon said. "Paul announced that they worked up a special song for the night and told the crowd that this was the last song that the Beatles played that night at Candlestick Park and then went into a ripping version of 'Long Tall Sally' leading the crowd in a frenzy as the screens showed black-and-white footage of the Beatles with some really cool graphics mixed in. As the song ended, the screen flashed a big "goodbye Candlestick Park" as it shrunk until there was nothing left."
Gannon said it was an unforgettable evening. "It was a great show that I shared with great friends in and out of my row and, more importantly, a memory I'll never forget and one hell of a way to cap off my trip to San Francisco!"

CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers were eliminated from the inaugural Las Vegas Summer League championship tournament on Saturday.
Power forward Justin Harper scored 21 points and shooting guard Jermaine Taylor added 20, but Cleveland was beaten 82-76 by the Miami Heat in the quarterfinals at Thomas & Mack Center.
Former Cavaliers small forward D.J. Kennedy, Jarvis Varnado and James Nunnally had 13 points apiece to pace the Heat, which never trailed and led by as many as 15 points.
Shooting guard Dion Waiters and center Tyler Zeller were given the day off by Cavaliers summer league coach Jamahl Mosley, leaving second-round draft pick Carrick Felix as the only NBA roster player in uniform.
Arizona State product Felix started at small forward and scored two points for Cleveland, which finished league play with a 3-2 record. Waiters' cousin, point guard Scoop Jardine, played 10 scoreless minutes in his debut.
Australian rookie Matthew Dellavedova made his second straight start at point guard, but only collected three points and four assists. Former Charlotte Bobcats backup Cory Higgins had 17 points and two helpers off the bench.
The Cavaliers are likely to extend a training camp invitation to either Dellavedova or Higgins as they search for a third-string point guard behind All-Star Kyrie Irving and Jarrett Jack.
NBA veterans Taylor and Harper also helped their causes of returning to the league this fall, either with Cleveland or elsewhere.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown was in attendance all week in an advisory role, as was assistant general manager David Griffin, while general manager Chris Grant flew in and out of Nevada to complete contract negotiations with center Andrew Bynum.
Irving, Waiters and Zeller will continue their busy offseason today, when they report to the USA Basketball Men's National Team minicamp. Only 27 players were invited by USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo, all of whom are under consideration for future FIBA and Olympic tournament play.
The five-day event takes place on the campus of Nevada-Las Vegas and will be directed by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and his assistants, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, and New Orleans Pelicans coach Monty Williams.

How long should a band sustain the test of time to get the label of a strong, solid band? The answer may vary, but 35 years should definitely be more than enough. Here's a band that has passed that long years and still going on strong until today, Mezzoforte, a dynamic, energic jazz-fusion band from Iceland.
Their success story started in 1983 with their huge hit "Garden Party" blasted the whole world and received praises everywhere, the song even still played in many radio stations up to this day. That big success made them coined as one of the Europe's most famous fusion bands, and certainly they have a lot of loyal fans around the globe, including here in Indonesia.
When we talk about their Indonesian fans, they seemed to know that they do have a solid fanbase here. That can be seen by their various visits to Indonesia such as at the JakJazz 1993 and Java Jazz Festival 2006. They just greeted the fans again at the previous JakJazz Festival 2012 last October (click here to see their action from that festival: http://jazzuality.com/jazz-event-report/jakarta-international-jazz-festival-jakjazz-2012-day-2-report/ ). From what we saw, Mezzoforte still has it all. They are just as energic, passionate and delightful as how they were before. Gulli Briem (drums), Eythor Gunnarsson (keyboard), Johann Asmundsson (bass), Oskar Gudjonsson (sax), Sebastian Studnitzky (trumpet and 2nd keyboard) and Bruno Mueller (guitar) came to give another memorable, all-out fired-up performance. Other than (of course) playing their all-time popular "Garden Party", they also promoted their new album "Islands" released just several months ago in June, 2012. What's great about this album is that they still have some new things to give, such as surprisingly went to more acoustic approach.
We didn't have the time to officially meet them at the JakJazz 2012 for a one on one interview, but lucky for us we met them off stage and then established a connection to them. Bruno then opened up the door for us to be in touch with Gulli, who was kind enough to answer our questions. Without further ado, let's get on with it.
First of all, it's great to finally watch your live performance again in Indonesia at the JakJazz 2012. Since you had performed here several times like in 1993 and at the Java Jazz Festival 2006, what's your impression of having a gig in front of your Indonesian fans again?
It's always very special for us to come to this part of the world, since it's so different from ours. Warm and humid, when Iceland is cold and dry with few people. We have made some friends in Indonesia and we are grateful for the support of the Indonesian fans. Our trip was not easy to Jakarta this time, because we missed our first flight in Oslo and therefore we didn't have much time to rest for the first show, but we enjoyed it nevertheless and the crowd was exited.
It's never easy to keep the band running well for more than 3 decades, it's even more difficult to keep the sparks on. Yet you guys manage to do it. What's the secret?
The secret is the music itself, our friendship and respect for each other plus the fact that people come to see us play. Sometimes they travel a long way in cars, trains or even on planes to see us. Another important thing is that we understand that we need to evolve and explore different musical energies and not being stuck in the 80's. Oskar, Bruno and Sebastian create much additional energy, being outstanding musicians. They encourage us to try out new ideas that are important for the "old guys" to enjoy playing and being together. It's not always easy, but when we see the smiling faces in the crowds and people singing along to the music, thats whats makes it so special.
There had been several changing of the personnels for these past 35 years. For some bands it could be like being hit by huge storm. On the other hand, it could give fresh breath and color towards the band. What kind of impact does Mezzoforte feel from it?
It's allot about the people that are on stage, how they perform and what kind of musical statement they make that gives us opportunities to grow and expand our musical awareness. We try to improve as individuals and as a band and as long as there is that will, we can go and play our hearts out.
Your song "Garden Party" became an all-time popular hit around the world. 24 years ago that song was all over the radio, even now we can still listen to it being played once in a while. Such a great song, lively, joyful, festive and most of all, ear catchy. Where was the inspiration came from?
The song was written by Eythor Gunnarsson (keyboard player). The inspiration for the song´s mood, groove, joyful feeling & melody came from the fact that we listened to this funky music, like George Duke, Earth Wind & Fire, George Benson and lot of the funky fusion jazz that came out of USA, as well as checking out bands like Level 42 in the UK had something to say. Further more we were very young and open to influences and we came with this record "Surprise Surprise" at the right time, first released in London.
With "Garden Party" you reached your fame internationally. Was it a surprise for you or you have anticipated it before?
It was a big surprise, because no one was thinking about fame or that we would become successful outside of Iceland, but it's a dream for most musicians to play around the world. We were happy with the album Surprise Surprise because it was a big step, musically, in songwriting and production wise. We were not prepared for the success, so it took a long time before we learned about the business and how everything works in the big music world and we STILL make mistakes (smiles)!
Now let's talk about your new album "Islands". This latest one suprisingly appears in more acoustic treatment than your previous albums. Why did you decide to go more acoustic this time?
We decided to dig deeper into the acoustic world in order to make a true natural sounding album with more dynamics and allow room for different flavors in song writing and song structures. It was a new experience for the band and we really had to be on our toes to get the right feel and put the songs together. Again the younger guys, Oskar and Sebastian also encouraged this change. We wanted to use more of grand pianos and dig deeper into our heads.
Besides more acoustic approach, what were the other things you put into consideration when you were making the album?
We wanted it to sound more straight in your face, dry, groovy and direct… be more 2012, more adult sounding. So the sound was important in making this record.
Standing artistically between fusion and smooth jazz made your music widely acceptable for audience in general, even to those who are not really into jazz. Do you consider the band as a jazz/fusion band or you prefer to be called something else?
I don't think we are good to answer that question, we come from a jazz/funk/pop background and we got mixed into the dance scene in the 80's which crossed over to the pop charts. From there it's not an easy place to go from, because the pressure was always to produce more hits. We tried different things, like using vocals, drum machines and synthesizers, changing our clothes and hair. Every period was special in it's own way. Now we would just like to be a great band, play some great music with great people… and drink lots of cappuccinos and espressos in airports (smiles).
This year you're celebrating your 35th anniversary. Do you still have unfulfilled wish? What do you aim for… let's say another 5 years period from now?
I would like to see more development in the sound of the band, deeper songwriting, experiments with rhythms and flavors and let things grow and mature as we grow and mature as people at different tempos though (smiles). As Mezzoforte continues to create something new and having offers to play shows around the world, I think we will carry on. We play around 30-40 shows every year and we can do this for quite a few years more, but no one knows the future. All I can say is from my personal side that I see myself as being in service to the world of music, to the audience, carrying a light of inspiration to as many as possible. As long as I'm able to do that, i'll carry on until I'm ninety-eight. AT LEAST!
That's what we wanted to hear! Now, let's talk about your homeland. Iceland is very far from our standpoint. But we're curious to know about the music scene in Iceland today. How is it?
Its vibrant, creative and eccentric. Young talents are coming up with new sounds, weird song writing and a will to share it with everyone. The music scene has opened up so much for the last 20 years, since people can make records at home on their laptops in their bedrooms. Therefore creativity has no boundaries anymore. Everyone has the chance to create something, wether its music or other art forms.
Last question, do you have any particular impression about Indonesia, and is there anything you want to say to our readers/your fans in this nation?
To me Indonesia is a calm place in some weird way, even with all these millions of people there is certain calmness to it. I took at trip to Chinatown after our second show with my friend Taufan Goenarso and another guy that I forgot the name of. It was a special to see Jakarta at night seeing children in the streets playing together and others selling something at the sidewalk, plus we had some great food at 02.00 am (smiles)! What a spectacular city! Thank you friends for your love and support over the years, without you we would be nothing.

Officials at Del Mar racetrack have decided to shift two turf races scheduled for today from turf to dirt following the deaths of four horses while running on the new turf course, including two that had to be put down yesterday after sustaining severe injuries in several different races.
Del Mar racetrack, is located about 20 miles north of San Diego, CA, and is leased by the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club from the state. It has a capacity of 44,000.
The tragic turn of events began during the 1st race Friday when Jockey Elvis Trujillo was thrown from his saddle after his mount Delaney's Joy clipped heels on the far turn and stumbled badly in the first race. Trujillo was unhurt and the horse appeared to be uninjured. Jockey Brice Blanc was also thrown when Yes She's Unusual stumbled on the far turn during the 6th race after sustaining a serious injury. Veterinarians were forced to put her down. Meanwhile Jockeys Van Dyke and Tyler Baze, ended up being unseated d while trying to avoid a collision with Yes She's Unusual.
Then in the 9th race, Corey Nakatani was forced to pull up his mount J. Kay after the horse suffered severe damage to his left foreleg. This was followed by the death of Longview Drive, who sustained damage to his left front leg during the $100,000 Cougar II Handicap. Jockey William Antongeorgi had pulled up the horse early in the race.
Although management stated that they were ''deeply saddened by the loss of thoroughbred lives'' since the meet began on July 16, they expressed the that they still maintained the ''utmost confidence'' in the turf course, but wanted to "err on the side of caution" by making adjustments by having track crews work on the turf course this week. The track will remain closed following today's card until Wednesday.

Olympic bobsledder Elana Meyers steers her way to Sochi.
When Elana Meyers tried out for her first bobsledding competition, she didn't even own a winter coat. After all, growing up in Douglasville, just south of Atlanta, she seldom needed one, or had much opportunity for sledding. So how did this polite Southerner end up in the driver's seat of Team USA's No. 1 bobsled for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia?
Turns out, "It doesn't require snow," says Meyers, 29, who won the bronze medal in the Vancouver games. "It's on concrete overlaid with ice from a refrigeration system." But it did require Meyers to switch gears. The daughter of former Falcons running back Eddie Meyers started in softball, but when that sport was cut from the Olympic roster, she looked around for another path to the games and found a seriously fast track in bobsledding. In fact, she logged a combined two-run time of 1 minute, 57.21 seconds during the selection process for Sochi. "It's a lot like race-car driving," she says of the sport. "You're getting this 400-pound sled to go as fast as possible without crashing."
This year, the bronze medalist will once again test her mettle against the world's best in order to upgrade to gold—to complement the new ring she's sporting, having recently gotten engaged to fellow U.S. bobsled team member, Nic Taylor.
"We're trying to figure out what we'll do after the Olympics," Meyers says, "but we'll probably settle in Atlanta or somewhere in Georgia. I don't like cold weather."

With 10.9 seconds to go and the game tied, the Golden State Warriors went to Klay Thompson's hot hand in hopes to salvage a tough playoff-type game on the road against the league's best defense. Thompson, who had scored 14 in the final quarter prior to his go-ahead look, found himself in a favorable matchup over Pacers point guard George Hill in the corner.
"That was the look we wanted, get Paul George out of the picture. I thought we did a great job reading (the defense). Our guys got it in Klay's hands with plenty of time," Jackson said after the game.
Thompson posted up the smaller Hill, turned, faded, and like he had done many times all season, splashed his jumper with just 0.6 to spare in regulation.
"Big time shot," Jackson described Thompson's game-winner that silenced the hometown crowd.
"He did a great job. You try to stop a guy from getting to the basket and he takes a 17-foot fadeaway. There's nothing you can do about it," said Hill who helplessly watched the ball go through the net after Thompson shot over his outstretched arm.
The Pacers still had a chance to win the game after Paul George managed to shake free from his defender and get a good look from 27 feet away in the ensuing play after the timeout, but his shot hit back rim allowing the Warriors to escape with the win.
"Klay saved our butts tonight," said Warriors point guard Stephen Curry after they squandered a 12-point lead with five minutes left in the game in a stretched wherein he turned the ball over twice.
"He was the difference in the game. His ability to create shots off pin-downs and in the post was the difference," said Pacers head coach Frank Vogel regarding Thompson. Vogel's decision to switch George on Curry which led to Hill covering Thompson during the Pacers' final defensive possession also played a part with Jackson drawing up the perfect play in anticipation of the matchup.
The shot prevented another late-game collapse by the Warriors and helped them bounce back from a tough loss in Toronto last Sunday as they improve their record to 37-24, while spoiling David West's heroics down the stretch for the Pacers. West led all scorers with 27 points and seven rebounds for the Pacers, while Thompson led the way for the Warriors with 25.

Taking photographs always produces the image that we wanted but is it the image desired?
The difference between an image that says it all and one that is hard to look at depends on how hard the photographer looked before the shutter was tripped. The Virginia Bluebells picture may at first glance look good but there is a problem.
Look behind the flower and there is a Dutchman Breeches against the log. That is the problem. The Blue Bells with the Dutchman Breeches in the background make the shape of an X. The breeches flower is white and is at an angle opposite the blue bells. Certain colors create heavier weight in a picture than others white, is one of those colors. It creates a distracting combination against the horizontal log. The hot bright spot on the log give the small flowers more interest and draw the viewer right to them. Instead of having a feeling of calm and supporting the blue bells it stops the visual flow.
Gardening an image done carefully and with minimal environmental impact will help. In this case do not remove the Dutchman Breeches but instead change the angle of view so they are not in the image. Moving to the right will crop them out and the hot spot.
In summary avoid hot spots, distracting objects at opposite angles, and plant parts that appear with no connection to the image. Also avoid out of focus objects in the foreground that may look like they are not visible but do create color shifts.
It may be the one of a kind flower and the temptation to pull out others to get the shot is overpowering. This usually damages the flowers and the result is the loss of both species. Exercise the ethics to preserve all the flowers. Creating a view that accomplishes this is worth all the effort.

The powdered infant formula known as Good Start Gentle by the Gerber Company is being recalled due to safety risks. The Batch GXP1684 with an expiration date of March 5, 2013 is being recalled as reports of an ′off odor′ or bad smell have been made. The US Food and Drug Administration, FDA, says there is no specific health or safety risks in using the product. But there have been reports by gastroenterology doctors of babies spitting up and suffering from gastrointestinal problems, according to the Parents Resource Center. If you have one of the plastic, 23.2 ounce containers of this product, contact Gerber at 1-800-487-7763 to get a replacement package.
This could become one of the largest baby food recalls since the big scare last year over insect parts being discovered in containers of Similac. That product is still under some scrutiny due to recent reports of Similac being too sugary, as well as a study by Dartmouth College about arsenic in our food supply from the use of brown rice syrup. Similac denies that they use brown rice syrup in their products. The presence of high sugar levels, however, is another issue that may have some validity. But then a very wide range of food products are said to contain too much sugar, which is often added not only as a sweetener, but also as a food preservative to extend the shelf life of a food product.
For now, if you use a powdered infant formula to feed your baby, then check to see if it is the Gerber Company brand Good Start Gentle. If you do have a 23.2 ounce plastic container of such, check the product code and expiration date to see if they match with Batch GXP1684, March 5, 2013. If you have such, be advised that the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, has issued a baby food recall notice on that particular product. Call Gerber at 1-800-487-7763 for getting a replacement. The FDA says that there are no safety risks, but something is giving off an odor and there are some reports of gastrointestinal problems according to the Parents Resource Center. Consult your physician or seek out a gastroenterology expert about the effects of using this infant formula.

This is going to be talked about for a while if this doesn't work.
Reports out of the Philadelphia Flyers morning skate prior to their decisive Game 6 against the New York Rangers are there will be no lineup changes to the Game 5 lineup. Nicklas Grossmann is still scratched with a lower-body injury and Hal Gill will still be replacing him in the lineup.
After a forgettable Game 5 against the Rangers, many expected Gill to be scratched for Game 6 in favor of puck-moving defenseman Erik Gustafsson. That does not appear to be the case as of this morning but, like always, things can change between now and the start of the game.
Gill missed a golden opportunity to get the Flyers on the board in the second period of Game 5 but fired the shot wide of the open net. Later on the same shift, Braydon Coburn's pass ended up in Gill's skates where the 39-year-old could not control the puck.
Enter: Dominic Moore.
The speedy New York forward was able to get the loose puck from Gill's skates and, with a burst of speed, pull away from Gill and in on Flyers goaltender Steve Mason. Mason got a piece of Moore's shot but not enough as it hit Mason's shoulder and trickled into the net to put the Rangers up 3-0.
The goal turned out to be the game-winner so it is easy to see why fans were calling for Gustafsson to be in the Game 6 lineup.
The Wells Fargo Center figures to be rocking tonight for Game 6. The game is slated to start at 7:30 pm and can be seen locally on Comcast Sportsnet and nationally on NBC Sports Network.

Having a baby can be very challenging to any woman; however the risks are higher the older you become. The biggest road-block that a woman over 35 faces when getting pregnant is "Getting Pregnant."
Although many women in the U.S. are waiting until they're older to have kids, let's not forget about the risk factors and the precautions you should take when making that decision. Also, don't forget to read the testimony of a 40-year-old woman who's pregnant and single.
Risk Factor 1: Miscarriage--The rate for a miscarriage is significantly high in women over the age 35 and ectopic pregnancy increases with age.
Risk Factor 2: Down-syndrome--Having a baby with "Down Syndrome" among women in their 40's is about 1 in 100 opposed to when you're 25 which are about 1 in 1,250. But! There's 'Genetic Counselors' on staff to assist you.
Genetic Counselors explain all the risk factors and usually ask whether or not you'd like blood work or amniocentesis to test for chromosomal problems or birth defects. This is very important if you're over 35 and pregnant.
Risk Factor 3: Premature--Chances of having a low birth rate baby, going into labor prematurely, or having a cesarean section is very high in pregnant women over 35.
Risk Factor 4: High Blood Pressure/Diabetes--Chances of developing High Blood Pressure or Diabetes is very high in pregnant women over 35, if you don't already have any of the mentioned ailments.
Risk factor 5: Death--Chances of giving birth to a still born child and maternal death are very high. However, the rate has dropped significantly in the U.S. thanks to research and studies.
These are just some risk factors for pregnant women over 35. Please consult with your physician should you have questions about being pregnant over the age of 35.
Testimony from Jane Doe: "I am a 40-year-old pregnant woman. The father of my unborn child left when I was 5 months. My love for a child means so much to me that no matter what obstacles you face in life, you stick it out especially during a time as important as being pregnant.
Before I found out that I was pregnant I was tired, sleepy, stressed and beyond depressed, but didn't realize the dangers I was putting my baby in. I thought my world was ending when my baby's father left, but it was just the beginning.
I cried for about a week straight and asked God why is this happening to me. After a few weeks people started entering my life giving me a peace of mind. After speaking with doctors and staff one by one all of them in privacy came up to me saying that they will pray for me and my unborn child.
I was referred to genetic counseling who really explains the risk factors of being pregnant at my age. Social workers also played a part in making sure that I have the proper resources and help for my child.
Being pregnant at 40 I felt no different than when I was 20. However, there's a big difference because I'm older now and unfortunately the risks are a bit higher. It scares you a bit to know the risks, but it's better to know than not to and as long as you attend your doctor's appointments your risks decreases and is monitored.
The way I see life being pregnant and single, I have peace of mind. God has relieved a lot of stress even though he had to take some things away from me. I talk to my baby as a mother and father and let him know that he's loved by me and so many.
I have joyous thoughts of kissing him, holding him, and sharing the beautiful life that God has chosen me to oversee. I believe in my heart that anyone over the age of 35 should take pregnancy seriously and make sure the needs are met for you and your baby. As for my baby, an Instagram will launch on May 4, 2014 under the name "terceschild."

The British cooked tuna steaks blood rare with red-wine sauces and just assumed that our Sicilian friends had got it wrong for the last two or three millennia. Nowadays, while I still love raw tuna and even seared and chilled tuna, I have become terribly bored with rare tuna steaks.

I implemented 2d fluid simulator. Solver runs entirely on GPU. All works fine... on my work PC. But on home PC I have some awful glitches, and I can`t understand how to fix them. Empirically I discovered that problem is localized somewhere in advect program. This is very strange cause at work I have integrated video, and at home — NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT. Here is the GLSL source of advect program (some lines were dropped for clearness):
#version 130
out vec3 value;
uniform sampler2D q;
uniform sampler2D velocity;
uniform float dt;
uniform float inverseSize;
void main()
vec2 p = gl_FragCoord.xy * inverseSize;
vec2 np = p - dt * texture(velocity, p).xy;
value = texture(q, np).xyz;
And some screenshots.

There are a host of ways fitness-minded folks can burn a few extra calories, even if they don't know they're doing it. For instance, those who can't sit still and tend to have a nervous personality may burn more calories than a person who is calm. That's because fidgeting can burn up to 350 calories a day. Laughing more can also burn extra calories. Scientists estimate that laughing 100 times is equivalent to a 10-minute workout on a rowing machine. Remember to get some shut-eye as well. Research has found that dieters who get adequate sleep can more easily shed weight.

View Curriculum Vitae
Pamela Brandwein's research fields include constitutional law and politics, civil rights, American political development, race and politics, and American political thought. Her work is united by an interest in the political and legal languages of antislavery, and her major projects have retraced discourses of race and rights obscured by twentieth century conventions. Likewise, her work attends to the rise, circulation, and impact of distorted legal-historical knowledge about the Civil War and Reconstruction. In general, her work combines American constitutional development and American politics.
She is the author of Reconstructing Reconstruction (Duke University Press, 1999), which examines the production and institutional establishment of an error-ridden account of the Fourteenth Amendment's non/incorporation of the Bill of Rights, as well as the way this account rendered Warren Court rights expansions vulnerable to the charge that they were the result of "politics not law." Her second book, Rethinking the Judicial Settlement of Reconstruction (Cambridge University Press, 2011), revises conventional wisdom about the Supreme Court's "state action" doctrine, commonly viewed as an abandonment of blacks to Southern home rule. Unveiling a lost jurisprudence of rights that provided protections for black physical safety and black voting, even as it left public accommodation rights undefended, this law-and-politics treatment of the Reconstruction era unites new political history, close legal reading, and the study of political institutions.
She is currently working on a project that revisits questions about the relationship between antislavery and capitalism.

onPhilanthropy - Four Steps to Better Online Communications
This article is focused on helping nonprofits understand some of the basics of communicating on the web and relates some of the new trends.
Web pros won't learn anything new in the article, but I think it's a good example of an article in simple language that's built for the audience.
The four strategies Newley relates are:
1) have an easy-to-use Web site that caters to
their audience,
2) adopt an email strategy,
3) achieve search engine visibility, and
4) consider using Weblogs and RSS
I'd say that #s 3 and 4 go hand-in-hand. Google loves weblogs and may be one of the more valuable reasons for weblogging. Here's a case study I wrote on that subject.

i would agree that their monitors/screens aren't so good – the one i bought broke in less than a year (that's why im here btw, cause i saw the screen thing) however, it had a 3 year warrenty (standard warrenty for that monitor) and they're going to fix it. so i would recommend acer, just make sure you get a long warrenty if you buy a monitor from them. their? computers/laptops are fine. the screens on the laptops ive had no trouble with.

i wouldnt let that put you off acer, ive had lots of computers made by them and they've been more reliable than dell and hp. i bought a dell? desktop, the power supply made a high pitched noise because its crap and dells way of destroying the computer by giving it shitty power. hp made a high pitched cpu fan on a laptop, and the fan does not cool it at all; just makes a high pitched noise and is VERY LOUD. acer laptop i had lasted 7 years, and another desktop is nearly 7 years old and still works

Thank you for posting this video! My 3? year old Acer Aspire 5335 screen was flickering on and off and going black for weeks, it completely did my head in!
So i tried this out, and so far it has been working normally again. YAY!
I am a total noob to fixing laptops, never tried before, but i thought i would give it a go and it seems to to have fixed the problem. On my 5335 i could just snap the front panel off without unscrewing anything. Thank you so much!

I have the 7730G. Moving the screen back and forth always helped but not for a long time,? flickering usually came back after a while or immediately. However, the screen didn't flicker at all when pushed to the very back but this method stopped working too! Today I found this video, I followed the steps on my laptop and now it seems to be working properly! Thank you so much! It was easy, simple and quick! And I didn't have to replace any parts
Micky Moffat (1290 days)
Help! I have the 5920, after dealing with the screen flicker for a while (and fixing it) the screen has given up. The problem is inside the casing, on the back of the screen, the cable that runs up? the back and looks like its covered in tinfoil, lol. You mention it in one of your vids-say to pull it out gently? Re-plugging it in again worked before, but now it only works if you kind of pull it back, like its faulty. Anyway -my question-What is this cable called? I'm hoping to repair/replace it!

buy an mac ! , Acer pcs is just some kind of shit ! , too many acer pcs have stopped work entirely without any reason , i got the acer aspire 9300 and black screen , tooo many people with black screen problems , mac has allways been the first , now i got an iMac for 15 000,- in norwegian money? , 7 500 $ is 15 000 norwegian money , buy an mac ! its not that expensive for an mac , but i buyed an expensive one buy an macbook or imac , buy an 13″
hurst751 (1290 days)
I wouldn't let it put you off Acer entirely. I've just replaced the? laptop in the video after nearly four years of use and it took a hammering. Once the flicker was repaired very little else went wrong.
I've just replaced it with…. guess… yes thats right, another Acer. The Aspire S3 which is pretty nice. The difference is that I bought it from John Lewis (a shop to all you non-UK people not a chap selling knock off pcs!) so it comes with a 5 year no quibble guarantee.
They can't all be bad..
