Character actor Richard LeParmentier, who as a young Death Star commander learned the hard way that Darth Vader brooks no disrespect, died Tuesday. He was 66.
LeParmentier died suddenly Tuesday morning in Austin while visiting his children, said his publicist, Derek Maki. Maki said he does not know the cause.
LeParmentier was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but moved to Britain in 1974 and had been living in Bath, England, when he died.
As Admiral Motti in 1977's Star Wars, LeParmentier's character mocks Vader's "sad devotion to that ancient Jedi religion." Vader responds with a demonstration, using the force to choke the young commander, but allowing him to live.
LeParmentier appeared frequently in British television roles throughout his career and was working as a screenwriter when he died. He played a reporter in 1980's Superman II, which featured actress Sarah Dougless - the villainess Ursa - with whom he was married from 1981 until 1984, according to their imdb.com profiles.
It was for his Star Wars role that LeParmentier may be best remembered as an actor.
"He absolutely loved travelling the world and meeting his friends and fellow Stars Wars fans, whose tributes have given us all the best lines in this message," LeParmentier's family said in a statement.
"He was no respecter of convention, except comic conventions," said Rhiannon, Stephanie and Tyrone LeParmentier.
"Every time we find someone's lack of faith disturbing, we'll think of him," they said.

Molly Ringwald Admits to Have Lost Contact With Michael Shoeffling
Actress Molly Ringwald has no idea where her love interest in beloved coming-of-age John Hughes movie "Sixteen Candles" is - because she hasn't spoken to him for years. The actress shot to fame in the teen romantic drama opposite Michael Shoeffling, but she has lost contact with him over the years.
And a week after telling film students at the University of Southern California the actor wasn't her first choice to play love interest Jake Ryan - that honor fell to Viggo Mortensen after the two smooched in rehearsals - she now admits she has no idea what became of Shoeffling.
Appearing on Access Hollywood Live on Tuesday, May 3, she said, "I think he quit show business and the last I heard he was a carpenter and he has a family but that's just Wikipedia (Internet encyclopedia)."
And it appears Ringwald knew little about her "Sixteen Candles" love interest while the couple was making the 1984 movie - when TV presenter Billy Bush asked her if she knew how old Shoeffling was when he played an 18 year old in the Hughes film, she appeared surprised when he revealed he was 24. She said, "Really? No... I thought he was, like, 19 years old."

Edited release from Keeneland
Keeneland will implement several changes to its wagering menu this fall. There will be a guaranteed Pick Four, lower takeout on all Pick Three, Pick Four and Pick Six wagers and changes to the Pick Three rules. A guaranteed $300,000 Pick Four, co-presented by TVG, will be offered each Sunday during live racing. "The Pick Four is becoming a very popular wager," said Keeneland's president and CEO Nick Nicholson. "We hope people who follow Keeneland racing will enjoy wagering on the guaranteed Pick Four every Sunday." Making the guaranteed Pick Four even more appealing to players is that its takeout--as well as the takeout on all Pick Threes and Pick Sixes--is being lowered to 17% from 19% for the fall meeting. "The lower takeout means more money is returned to our customers," Nicholson continued. "It is a way for us to give back to our loyal fans."

Jabra Sport Pulse earbuds
Bluetooth earbuds with an integrated heart-rate monitor
- Well designed with an excellent fit
- Good sound quality
- Wireless
- Pouch for easy storage
- Built in heart-rate monitor
- Expensive
- Need to carry a smartphone to get the most of out them
- May not suit many athletes
- Needs to be charged
Price$ 249.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 1 store)
- Sport Coach Wireless Headset (Yellow) 148.00
The Jabra Sport Pulse headphones are designed to appeal to those of us who like to walk, run, or hit the gym as part of an exercise program. They use a wireless Bluetooth connection rather than a cord, and they also have a built-in heart-rate monitor that negates the need for an extra strap.
The design and fit of these $249 wireless headphones is quite pleasing, especially when you consider all the technology that's housed in them. Jabra supplies them with four different 'ear gel' cushions that should fit most ear sizes, as well as 'ear wings' so that they sit firmly in place. They also come with a handy and sturdy little pouch that even has room for the charging cable. It's a nice touch.
The headphones fit comfortably in our ears, and they are a big improvement on the standard earplugs that ship with most smartphones, such as the Apple iPhone 6. It took us about two hours to charge them before they were ready for use, but once they were up and running, we found their sound output to be expectedly good.
Jabra Sport Life app
The headphones enable users to sync the Jabra Sport Life app (for Android or iOS), which we found to be useful. The main screen of the app indicates if the earbuds are connected and if the GPS is enabled, If the GPS is on, the app will track activities such as walking, running, cycling, hiking, skating, or skiing.
It's an app that's designed to offer plenty of management and evaluation features, and it even includes a 'voice coach' to keep you updated as you work out. If you're already heavily into fitness and have goals you want to achieve, you can use the app to enter metrics such as time, distance, and the number of calories burned.
You can work out while listening to your favourite music, of course. To this end, the app allows for music to be synched from iTunes, and there is support for Dolby sound processing. There's an option to sync Jabra Sport Life with other lifestyle apps, such as MapMyFitness, but we weren't able to sync to that particular app to provide additional options.
You must download the Jabra Sport Life app in order to get to heart rate monitor working. We turned the headphones on and selected 'settings' to connect via Bluetooth using an Apple iPhone 6 running the iOS8 operating system. We held the button down on the right earplug until the blue light came on and 'Jabra Pulse a.3.2.0' appeared twice under 'My Devices'. We had to connect to both devices for the heart rate monitor to work. The Jabra Sport Life app displayed our heart rate and provided basic information about various training zones, which was useful.
The issue with runningRead more: Marshall Major headphone review
Many of us probably don't run at a reasonable pace with our phones, particularly given that phones only seem to be getting larger. We certainly would not run with our iPhone 6 for obvious reasons. There are smaller, more practical options available, such as a small Apple iPod Nano, which clips onto your shorts, but this won't give you the benefit of being able to use the Jabra Sport Life app.
For this reason, the Jabra Sport Pulse fit quite well in the general lifestyle market (for walking inside and outdoors) and even on the treadmill in the gym. But for more high intensity activities, they are not ideally suited.
Overall, we like the Jabra Sport Pulse earbuds. The design is pleasing, the fit seems good and the sound is what you would expect at this price point. Having to charge the earbuds is a little bit annoying, but you have the freedom to be wireless. They are great for the gym or for light exercise where you can bring your phone, but not for more intense activities, such as running outdoors.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Male Room
Finally, men are getting to benefit from the big world of little shops. Finding a carefully curated boutique can be just as good, and much cheaper, than hiring a personal stylist. Someone else hunts down the hard-to-find or one-of-a-kind items that fit your carefully crafted image and conveniently puts them all together under one roof. New York is now host to great small stores with multiple labels and vintage finds that cater specifically to all the young dudes:
Watts on Smith
248 Smith Street, Brooklyn,
Watts on Smith has nailed its demographic perfectly. It is a no-nonsense shop with tried-and-true labels like Fred Perry, Penguin, and Vans, all of which have their roots in retro non-fashion. If you want to look like you care but not too much, these are the clothes for you.
668 President Street,
Understatementsparse atmosphere mixed with equally sparse clothesis the key concept at Oak's new location in Park Slope (its brother store is in Williamsburg). Button-downs and pants with unassuming character and just-right details like those by Marc by Marc Jacobs and Steven Alan make this a must stop for Brooklyn boys.
328 East 11th Street,
Thank the god of the gods for Odin, a head-to-toe shop with clothes and accessories in the East Village. The items have that future-cool Japanese or French vibe with picks from Comme des Gar Y-3, and many emerging designers you'll be glad to discover, as well as a constantly updated selection of limited-edition T-shirts.

Atelier New York
125 Crosby Street,
Filling a need for aspirational men's fashion, Atelier is a boutique that challenges the status quo. Here you'll find garments that are elevating the craft of menswear without being fussy. It takes a true individual to pull off aged white leather pants by Ann Demulemeester at $1,200, but as evidenced by this being the store's fourth year, you guys are out there.
Ina Men
262 Mott Street,
If you need to stock up on labels but don't care if they're last season's, go to Ina Men for designer consigment. A recent visit to this Nolita pioneer yielded an Armani suit for around $350, an argyle Pringle sweater for $40, and a nice full rack of all types of designer jeans.
117 East 7th Street,
A brand new addition to the scene, Underdog recently popped up on East 7th, which is fast becoming a destination shopping strip. The dark décor looks serious but the selection of items by Steven Alan, Wrangler, and Swedish designer Filipa K. will contribute clean and laid-back additions to your wardrobe.
Drealm NYC
218 East 5th Street,
Brothers Sage and Julian Kim keep their store filled with clothes from their own label, accessories on consignment from friends, and a vast selection by APC. They go a step further than most stores by also selling eco-friendly Naturally Yours laundry detergent to wash all your new duds in.

Oh Steinbach, You So Beautiful
So yesterday afternoon Andrea and I hit Summer In The City in downtown Steinbach. It was wonderful and, seeing as how I'm brushing up on my photography skills, I decided to bring my camera along. It's been a while since I've been to an event like this and I was immediately struck with a sense of how beautiful people are when they're being themselves. A "beautiful humanity" kind-of-thing.

Fig. 17 is a detail section illustrating a modified form of plug element.
Referring to the drawings, my invention contemplates apparatus particularly useful. as an advertising sign, wherein light rays may be projected through a cellular body so constructed to produce desired. visual effects.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the form of the invention illustrated comprises a frame 1 pivoted. at 2 to a base 3.
If so desired, the frame 1 may be rectangular in outline, while the base 2-3 may be in the form ofa pair of bars which project rearwardly from the bottom of the frame.
Due to the pivotal connection between the frame and the base, it is possible to set the frame at any desired angle, and therefore,
in order to provide means for locking the frame in position relative to the base 3. such base may be provided with a pair of slotted arcuate tLlIIlS 1, which are disposed adjacent to the two side walls of the frame. In the slots of the arms 4; are threaded shanks 6 projecting laterally from the sides of the frame. Screwed onto the shanks 6 are wing nuts 7 which bear against the outside of the arms and clamp the some to the side of the frame.
Mounted in the front of the frame is a cellular body 8 having an outline corresponding, generally to the outline of the frame, and having a suitable thickness.
The cellular bodyS may be made in any desired manner with apertures of any desired cross section and arrangement, and, as shown, it should preferably be in the form of a honeycomb, having vertical and horizontal rows of openings. If so desired, the body 8 may be formed by nesting a plurali of tubes together and then. uniting such tubes by filling in the spaces therebetwecn with a suitable binder. Or any other means may be employed for producing the body.
The front wall of the frame is open so that when thebody 8 is assembled therein all of the openings in the body will be exposed, the structure having the appearance of a blank perforated surface.
Vl ith the blank surface which is PITOVl-iltil by the cellular body I am enabled to obtain various effects.
Such effects may be obtained by plugging; certain of the cells of the body so as to prevent the passage of light therethrough One arrangement is illustrated in F 1 and 2 wherein plugs 9 are inserted in certain i of the cells, the result being); the formation a border lOof a particular design, which the bottom thereof, are grooved as indicated by the reference character 12, Fig. 2, to support a screen 13, in the form of a sheet of glass. This screen niay have any color desired. It may, furthermore, be translucent or it may be clear. In addition to serving as ascreen, the sheet of glass acts as a back for the body 8 and its associated parts. Preferably the screen-13 is spaced a suitable distance from the body. A similar screen may also be placed in the space ll in front the base of the body 8 when different effects are desired.
The side walls of the frame extend backwardly from thesereen a suitable distance. Hinged respectively to the top and bottom of the frame are plates is and 15, the lower plate 15 extending upwardly at a angle to and being; adjustably retained in pos tion by means of a rod 16 passed through perforations 17 in theside walls 'lhe perforations 17 are vertically disposed relatively to eachother so that a co iiderable provided for adjusting the position .01 the plate 15.
On the other hand, the of the plate 14 bent downwardly and then forwardly to provide an arc-uate surface for hearing on the contiguous portion of the plate 15. V
The arrangement of the parts is such that a reflector is formed in the back of the body 8; I
A source of illumination in the form of electric lamps 18 may be utilized. These lamps can be mounted in the curved portion of the plate l l, and when the angularity of the plate 15 is changed, by either raising or lowering the plate, there will also be a corresponding change in the angularitv of the rays of light from the lamps 18. In lieu ofthe d sposit on of the-lamps 18 illustrated,
any other arrz'ingement of lights may be used for producing various ell'ccts.
Vith the parts of the apparatus in the form shown by Figs. 3. and 2 no direct light rays will be visible through the body 8, as all of the rays projected through the openings in the body will be rays reflected by the surfaces of the plates. ll and 15. However, should the lamps in the reflector be lowered, then a portion of the hunt rays pa ;-:..-sin;r through the body 8 will be direct rays.
In this way various ligghtine cllects may be obtained with the apparatus, and the outline of the characters and symbols formed by plugging certain of the apertures in the body 8 will. be amplified.
The body 8 may be removably mounted in the frame, and it may be withdrawn therefrom by means of a handle 19.
In order to retain the body in proper spaced relation to the screen 13. the rear of the body, at each corner thereof is provided w h Jr. iecting feet 20.
The plugs 9 may be formed from any suitable niatcrial. In the form of the invention herein described, such plu s should be solid so that they will. prevent the light. rays from passing through the apertures in the body. However, the plugs may, if so desired, be formed from suitable lengths of co ored glass so that a variegated color ellect will be produced.
In practice various uses of the structure will be found. It is essentially useful as an illuminated sign adapted to be placed in store windows or suspended outside of bu.-:iness esdtblislnnents. The body may be (101istrueted in various lengths and forms suitable for permitting the formation of varioussymbols or other forms of characters, or several small units may be arranged so as to produce the desired eil cct. llowcww, in all such instances, the operation of the apparatus will be ie same, that. is to say, characters will be produced by plugging: selected openings in the cellular body to form the desired characters and then passing light rays through the openings not plugged, or through the transparei-it plugs in openings.
In the form of the invention shown by Figs. 3 and at, the apparatus includes a supporting frame 21 in which mounted a. plurality of cellular bodies 22.
The bodies 22 are composed of tubes zirranged in honey comb form, and bound together in a unitary mass. by joining" the adiacent abuttiiur surfaces of the tubes to nether. ll. so desired, the tubes may be welded together or they may be made inio a solid structure by any suitable method. However, as illustrated, the spaces between the tubes need not be filled, as shown in Fig. 1.
For the purpose of mounting the several sections in the frame 21, the top and bottom sides of the frame are provided with grooves 23 for receiving tongues or strips 24-. fastened along the edges of the bodies 22. In this way the bodies can be slid into the frame from one end thereof.
One side of the frame 2i adapted to carry a sheet of glass 25, which is spaced at suitable distance from the bodies 22, and serves a back for the structure. If de sired, another sheet of may beinsertcd in the space 26 on the opposite side of the device.
The sheet of glass serves as means for limiting the outward i'novement of any of the plugs, as will be readily understood.
The frame of the sign may have slotted brackets 54 projecting upwardly therefrom so that the device can be hung from a suitable support (not shown).
By referring to Figs. 5 and 6, it will be noticed that by inserting plugs. 9, into certain of the portions of the cellular body so as to block out the majority of the surface of the body, the result obtained will be reverse to that shown in Fig. 1. Thus, in producing the effect desired, the portion of the structure through which light. is permitted to pass is that portion which designates the design of the characters and symbols produced.
Should the cellular bodies of the apparatus contain plugs in all of the apertures therein, and it desired to quickly form a desired character or symbol by removing certain of the plugs, any method may be used for withdrawing the plugs from the bodies such as by means of a tool, one form of which is sliownby Figs. 7 and 8.
The tool comprises a body 27 having a suitable handle 28. Projecting from the face of the body opposite to the handle are pins 29 \vl'ich are arranged so as to corn form to the character desired to be pro duced. The pins are of such dimensions and they are so disposed. on the body 27 that they can enter the tubes of the structure to the extent of the desired displace ment and thus in one stroke may be accomplished the formation of a desired character, or symbol.
In some instances it is desirable to provide an illuminated sign, having charac tcris'tics of the forms of the invention here tofore described, but in which the form of the characters, etc. are fixed. One embodiment of such a form of the invention is illustrated in Figs. 9, l0 and ll, wherein a perforated plate has projecting there from a plurality of tubes 81.
The tubes 31 may be of any suitable length, and they may be arranged in any desired manner to produce the desired core figuration.
The plate may be mounted in a groove 32 formed in the sides of a frame The frame 33 should be open at the front so that light may pass through the tubes 31, and if so dos ed, the frame may have a buck 3-1 that is spaced from the plate 30.
A sheet of glass is carried by a groove 36 formed in the frame 33, such groove being contiguous to the groove 82 so that the h will be disposed adjacent to the date and serve as means for diffusing light rays from electric lamps 37 reflected by the back 84:.
The glass functions in a manner similar to that heretofore described for the glass 13.
In order to produce novel effects with the apparatus, the tubes may have inserted therein glass plugs in the form of tubes 38.
The tubes 38 have their outer ends closed, preferably being forn'ied in the manner clearly shown by Fig. 11 so that the result produced will simulate electric lamps. The tubes 38 may also be made of different colors, so that when the light from the elcctric lamps 3? is transmitted through the front of the apparatus variegated effects will be produced, as will be readily understood.
In l2, l3 and 14-, T have shown another form of the lDVGIliTlUD in which the cel lular body made in the form of an individual letter or character L0.
The tubes composing the character .10 are mounted in a frame all which may be mad e from n'ietal or any other suitable material. The frame 1-1 open to the front. and ri- Mounted in the tubes are plugs 42 having outwardly projecting pointed ends 43.
f so desired, the character 40 may be formed by using three rows of tubes to form In this Way, the central row its outline. of tubes can have mounted therein longer plugs 42 than the two outside rows of tubes. This form of the apparatus can be used to best advantage in any way found desirable. That to say, a plurality of the character 40 may be mounted on a plate to produce a sign similar in construction to that illus trated by Fig. 9, or the character could be mounted in a frame sin'iilarly constructed to the frame 1 shown in 1, so that light rays could be transmitted tlierethrough in the manner heretofore described.
In Figs. 15 and 16, the form of the invention illustrated comprises a frame 45 in which is disposed a plate 46 having opening's47.
The openings 47 may be formed in the manner shown byFig. 5, so that a plurality of tubes 48 can be fixed to the underside of the plate in alignment With the openings to provide a cellular structure simulating; the preferred form of the invention. All of the tubes contain plugs l9.
The underside of the frame may have pins projecting therefrom at conven'ent points ther'earound so that the frame and its associated parts will be spaced from a back piece 51.
By the constructionjust described it is possible to obtain novel effects. When certain of the plugs d9 in'the apertures d8 are moved inwardly until they abut the back piece 51, cavities will be formed in the apertures and the shadows made by the light crossing such cavities will produce sufficient contrast to clearly define the characters or symbols shown. However, to make the contrast more manifest, the color of the plugs in the apertures may be different from the color of the walls of the apertures.
In lieu of forming the characters or symbols by moving the plugs inwardly of the apertures, 't-h characters and symbols may be made by extending the plugs outwardly. In such case, the shadows cast by the projecting portions of the plugs will produce the effects desired.
If so desired the plugs -19 used in this form of the invention may be solid and non transparent, or they may be made from color'ed glass or. other suitable material. Pref erably the out-er surface of the plate 46 should have a light color, and the end of the plugs may also have the same color, so
that the ends of the plugs which lie flush with the outer surface of the plate will correspond to the color of the plate and form. a background.
In signs of relatively large size, the plugs may be formed with sockets 52 for electric lai'nps53, as shown in Fig. 17, whereby the visual effect on the surface of the sign may be stillfurther modified. In practice only a suflicient number of sockets 52 need be inits sorted as are necessary to define the'desired characters and symbols.

Brown fat transplant may fight obesity and prevent diabetes

Scientists have discovered that transplanting brown fat also called 'good fat' could be key to weight loss and it may even prevent diabetes.
Scientists at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston found that brown fat transplants not only significantly decreased body weight, they also improved insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, reducing the risk of diabetes, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
There are two types of fat in the body. One is the much-dreaded white fat, which sits under the skin and gives people a beer belly or wobbly thighs. It's caused by eating too much.
But people also have a smaller amount of brown fat, which generates heat. It does this by boosting the metabolism, burning large amounts of energy so the body starts to burn up the 'white fat'.
When 'switched on' it is said to produce around 300 times more heat than any other organ in the body.
Previous research has shown that some people generally lean ones - have more brown fat than others. This could help explain why they remain a healthy weight without much effort, while others struggle to lose weight.
The new research found that the transplanted brown fat secreted hormones which controlled the body's metabolism.
Dr Laurie Goodyear and colleagues transplanted brown fat from mice of a normal weight into mice which were fed a standard or high-fat diet.
Eight to 12 weeks after transplantation, the mice fed a normal diet showed improved glucose tolerance, increased insulin sensitivity, lower body weights and decreased fat mass.
But mice given a 'fake' transplant of glass or beads did not show any improvement, proving the efficacy of brown fat, researchers said.
The mice fed a high-fat diet also showed improved glucose metabolism, decreased body weight and a complete reversal of insulin resistance resulting from excess fat consumption.

I'm in Georgia (Valdosta, specifically). My son is starting Kindergarten in the fall which terrifies me. I've read some old threads on here (and newer ones) and I didn't know if anyone else is in the Valdosta area. I was looking for some support, and some personal experiences with schools down here. PM me if you'd like!
Hi! Welcome to MDC.
You might get more response if you post in the Georgia "Tribal Area":
Good luck finding the information you need.

I am their # fan...Years ago I was raised to buy my meat from there.Where it's located, there once was a Rice Grocery Store that was on the same street as Johnson's Funeral Home. We would walk and shop at Jim's. Well that was almost 20 years ago, now with a awesome husband and 3 hungry & gifted but still growing young men our income isn't getting any larger.The entire staff treats you with a smile and there's always plenty of laughter. They make you feel like part of the family. Once you drive up, there is always a friendly greeting from the most sweetest cashier's I've ever met especially Ms.Kim. Every single person in the meat department deserves bonus pay but the entire staff deserves raises.Their Homemade Boudain and Dirty Rice from Ms Annie or Mr Johnny is to die for. During the holidays I 've gotten my fried turkeys from here..order early so you won't miss out. The meat is always fresh and of great quality especially their steak.Buy the steak you won;t be disappointed. I never am.The prices aren't so bad compared to the only 2 grocery stores (Fiesta and HEB) when sometimes you can't get there. I love grocery store in walking distants and Jim's the place.I now reside in SW Houston Alief area but once a month I make it my business first to drag my sister along for her household. She purchases a #4 meat pack, she loves it but I purchase a #10 meat pack...that's a lot of meat. I need and must have meat (nearly 70lbs)like this for my growing family. I can't say enough about the place other than to say Thank You to every employee at Jim's.For the record, Personally I feel Mr Jim's (or the owner)really treat his staff with respect & fairness because it shows in their attitudes daily once you enter this store. It's always a pleasure shopping there and knowing these days there are still down-home neighborhood grocery store that still care about their own staff, customers and community. At Jim's...They really Care!!! (Hint:You should use this for your slogan). I AM ONE SATISFIED CUSTOMER...they deserve 5 STARS because that's what they are. Respectully;All Smiles; Kimberly Lott-CASTLEBERRYand family please be blessed.

This particular HEB store is new to my neighborhood that was served by two other major grocery stores. In the past, we were inconvenienced into using the "Other Stores", where cleanliness, incorrect prices and customer service were often misrepresented or lacking altogether. The new HEB store is a warm and welcome sight, giving new choices and opportunities to our neighborhood and it's customers. Recently my wife and I needed several things, after dark and with a light misting rain falling. We decided to stop in for the needed items and were met by a smiling employee in uniform, with an umbrella and were walked to the front entrance. A manager observed my looking unsuccessfully for an item, and said, "If you want something that you do not see here, please let me know and we will order it and keep it in stock". These things, I must say are above and beyond traditional Customer Service! I recommend this company to any and all. You are a true asset to this neighborhood! Thank You, HEB
The Food Town on 2770 Sam Houston Parkway has always been my number one place to get groceries. It will be even more so now. A day after Hurricane Ike rolled through Houston Food Town was open to the public for much needed supplies. Although the lines were long to get into the store it was done for a good reason. The managers and staff were in total control and everything went smooth. as soon as something went low the shelves were being restocked.I was able to find what I needed and get out with no problem. I even shopped for my sisters,brother and parents because there was nothing open in their areas. They later came to my house to get their supplies. Now my sister is able to come from her home all the way here to shop at Food Town.Thanks for being there when we truly needed you Food Town.

Six wide receivers may not be enough for the Jaguars as they are working out undrafted free agent Darrell Blackman from N.C. State, who was waived by receiver-rich Detroit earlier this summer.
Blackman is a strong but short wide receiver, as his size more resembles that of a running back at 5'11", 210 lbs. The former Williamsport, Pennsylvania native ran the 40 in the low 4.4's, and offers straight-line speed and dependable hands. He has a 38.5" vertical leap, a 10' broad jump, and a 4.31 20-yard shuttle.
Scout NFL Draft Expert Chris Steuber had this scouting report on Blackman—
Darrell is a very good return specialist. He doesn't have game breaking speed, but he's a strong runner who possesses excellent vision. He's still developing his game as a receiver, but he runs good routes and has strong hands. He tends to round off some of his routes, which allows defenders to cut in front of him and make a play on the ball. But overall he has good ability and a chance to be a four or fifth receiver on a team and also be a solid return man in the NFL.
Blackman figures as more of a special teams player at the next level, and that is likely the role that Jacksonville could have in store for the former ACC standout.

Pak Tea House » Democracy » Messianic solutions
Messianic solutions
January 28th, 2013 | 5 Comments
By Saad Hafiz:
Societies that twist between
negativity and cynicism are fertile ground for would-be saviours — political and military strongmen — with messianic proposals and authoritarian models. These would-be messiahs advocate quick fix solutions and extempore decision-making, which are often easier to sell during times of economic hardship and physical insecurity. Spin-doctors are on hand to convince people that centralised power offers magical political, social and economic solutions. The wonders of centralised power are contrasted with a wasteful, tedious and corrupt democratic system.
The tried and failed European fascist models of the 20th century offered comparable hope with an affirmation of 'traditional values' of a conventional social ideology, such as 'machismo', family values, religious faith, patriotism, social structure, honour, and traditional hard work. Asvero Gravelli, a prominent author on fascism at the time, described fascism in the following way: "Fascism transcends democracy and liberalism; its regenerative action is based on granite foundations: the idea of hierarchy, of the participation of the whole population in the life of the State, social justice in the equitable distribution of rights and duties, the infusion of public life with moral principles, the affirmation of religious values, the prestige of the family, the ethical interpretation of the ideas of order, authority and liberty. In the light of this transcendence, Europe will be able to find its way to enter a new phase of History." Modern-day messiahs deliver a similar call-to-arms during their periodic long marches and dharnas (sit-ins).
The appeal of messiahs is understandable in societies that have fallen into a state of serious cynicism and collective despair under the crushing weight of national problems. Cynicism and despair have also a lot to do with the news and the images people assimilate daily — full of blood, violence and cruelty. The people start to disbelieve and lose confidence in almost everything, but particularly the governmental institutions and those running them whom they hold directly responsible for their plight. The people's representatives may be elected in basically free and fair elections, but they lack the ability to manage democracy or react to the swelling and increasingly multifarious and often impossible demands from the masses.
When distrust is so widespread and people's lives are overwhelmed by insecurity, violence, unemployment and the high cost of living, they usually look to 'divine answers' and 'god-fearing' persons rather than rely on their own ability or that of society's institutions to make the needed changes. People expect others, coming from above, to resolve the problems, while they simply immerse themselves in personal survival. Still others find solutions in religious fundamentalism and obscurantism. Another allure of modern authoritarian systems is that they are more subtle than similar models in the past. They adopt a form of democratic governance while emptying it of actual content, thus falling somewhere between democracy and authoritarianism. They provide benefits to make up for the loss of freedoms and rights, and are careful not to provoke citizens excessively. It is no surprise, therefore, that 'credible' forces that pay lip service to democracy emerge from this breeding ground. Such forces in countries are often naturally allied to the military within the framework of 'authoritarian democracy', invested in by other powerful fundamentalist sectors in society, who collectively despise the messy contentiousness of parliamentary democracies.
Another significant challenge faced by emerging democracies is how societies that have known only dictatorship, repression, injustice and inequality can democratically transform the myriad anti-democratic habits, beliefs and customs, as well as anti-democratic internal power structures. Many citizens tend to underemphasise the deep-rooted, evolutionary process of social, economic, and cultural change that goes into democratisation and see the process simply as a matter of an essentially non-democratic society simply adopting the right institutional framework. They tend to focus on voting as the definitive form of political participation and pay less attention to the question of a grassroots self-transformation of a society as the basis for democratic development. What is also ignored is the crucial question of how much actual authority any particular elected government has, and whether, for example, an elected government's authority is largely curtailed by traditional power groups in the country, such as the ruling oligarchy.
Faced with these circumstances, the task for a nascent democracy is much deeper and more grave. It is to build citizenship and institutions in a society sunk in depression, generate confidence in people's own abilities to develop proposals, and build a citizenry that can shake off its fantasies and put the country's failures and problems as well as its various leaders, with both their successes and their limitations, in the right perspective. The ultimate aims are clear: the rule of law, more authority to elected politicians, mechanism for accountability of politicians through 'free and fair' elections, overcoming poverty and ignorance, propagating secular values, strengthening democratic institutions and engaging constructively with the international community. Whether Pakistani society has the wherewithal to achieve these aims is an open question, but it would be wrong to belittle the power of a democratic polity to effect change without needing to rely on messianic solutions.

They pledge to keep the candy coming but did not increase it?
How freaking pathetic is that? And the mainstream media keeps a straight face.
Deutsche Bank reports a profit when the street thought they would have near a 1/2 Billion euro loss?
And we just believe what they say?
You know the expression: going to hexx in a hand-basket?
Well, it looks like we don't even have the basket.
I didn't catch the Buffet interview..but the dollar is dropping like a rock and this time I don't think it's a good thing...no body wants it...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Buffet likely exiting positions all day long...rates at 0 for 50 years DOW at 100K lol...
That is good. Buffet knows they are about to take this puppy down and he needed some knuckleheads to sell to..
TVIX at $3.40 is looking real good at this point.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Wouldn't you agree that the only way a short should be celebrating is if they are covering at $3.40, versus initiating positions?
What do you think if you do that...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
All the technicals suggested a down market, so of course, lets do a little jig headfake...But the facts are the facts and the talking heads on TV will not save you..
.p.s. how many talking heads on TV does it take to turn a Crisis in confidence in the USD, into something swell?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Finally, got you on record as shorting at $3.40...
So first of all, this market will drop in a way that makes the 2008/2009 crash look like the opening act. If you don't know this, then your short is understandable. Sell in May, will simply kick in, the all ready deteriorating market internals. And when the real drop gains traction, The VIX leaps over 50, and TVIX moves in excess of 10X over the balance of the year...2016 is the year of jubilee and it is in the cards. A manifest destiny of those who seek to remake society. I could never quite understand the desire to make 100% return in the face of an inevitable 10000% return on the long side...
.p.s. you really think that Gold is going up because of a weak dollar? The dollar was a lot weaker recently when Gold was a lot weaker as well. The spin is bs, gold is going up because of a collapse in confidence of the dollar not the mathematics of valuation. This market will go down, for the same reason. The knife is about to cut in the other direction...and our posts on this little message boards has absolutely no influence on direction.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We are a witness to mainstream media most egregious manipulation attempt of the markets.
News overnight, this plus another, caused markets to sell off world wide, yet, these folks on TV have not even mentioned it.
All keeping a calm face in the presence of triple digit futures drop(and that is with the PPT trimmings).
It is truly amazing.
Hold your TVIX
It's about to hit the fan...in a progressive awareness mode.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
By the way, these two headlines are from zero hedge.
Can markets actually be faked out indefinitely?
Are we and the institutions and the dark poolers and and hedgies all stupid?
I don't think so.
Hold your TVIX
It's about to hit the fan...in a progressive awareness mode.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
ndi, Can you believe how the mainstream media reports news? I just heard Jim Cramer as a result of somebody's weaker than expected earnings, say Venezuela was a "failed state"... Here, is a country who is in literal ruins, as a result of following our failed policies of super QE, who has suspended the rule of law, whose citizens wait on lines half a day to get one freaken dollar out of their frozen bank accounts, then get in another line the other half a day to try and spend that dollar in a rationed food store. In desperate need, a model of what not to do, that we are leading the pack on trying to get to the same place; and do you ever see one bit of coverage on the our mainstream news?
I believe our markets and treatment of the world, are a smite on this planet, and will suffer the ultimate corrective cleansing by the invisible hand and every other sane hand...
Hold your TVIX
jw out
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Get Back in, and hold it...
Gold will resume it's parabolic move shortly...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Actually, as reported earlier in the year, those still with us are doing fairly well. They had trimmed the fat and got costs under control and most were positioned for $1000 per ounce gold...This is why they have rallied the way they have.
This is a technical correction at best. Big money is holding, we pause periodically to let go of a few retail types..
Doesn't matter what you post, the fundamentals are the fundamentals.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The market is definitely not liking my boy TVIX...Down Y on X size jump yesterday...could not take out Y on 2X size drop today...suggests this bull may be a dead man walking but it will slowly take volatility with it...
I think I'm going to book the gains for the day...Until we actually lose a big bank, market players have no sense of what's coming. And we trade on sense not logic.
Will likely flow back to the miners...
You still playing puts?
Seems like a nice number.
Gold steady and miners doing a nice correction.
Thanks folks
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The gifts are aplenty.
No change in gold fundamentals.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
To Address the pending DEBT CRISIS: (Only Ron Paul as a politician has ever really seriously flagged this #1 threat to our country):
- keep interest rates low until we have restored growth (Ackknowledges a few points higher and we have a debt service default looming - So agrees we need to stay low for a long long while)
- create a business attracting environment with tax cuts across the board
- remove business impeding regulation that causes banks not to lend
- bring jobs back and companies back to the USA, and grow the economy significantly
Throw in keep cost down and this is the only way to stave off a collapse.
Gold should be running crazy at this point, but I noticed the Plunge Protection team is weighing in heavily, likely in a direct response. And it's not going to work...
Grab some miners folks, and vault them...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
So while they invest a little to part you with your gold stocks, don't forget that there is a new currency that needs the metal backing. The next leadership nations will be loaded to the teeth with gold.
China is playing catchup, and let's hope we have what we say we have...else they will burn our oil fields next..
Hold and buy the dips folks.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Just now on CNBC with Jim Cramer.
Good interview. Industry in solid shape, naturally shrinking supply, continued strong demand.
Profitable no debt, even with their one off set backs.
Gold and Miners, consolidating into a powerful Bull flag. I'm looking for a strong break out to the upside, in short order.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
You ignore the current trajectory of gold, and the fundamentals behind it with a rear view perspective on the benefiting industry...
Each trade, takes two..
Sentiment: Strong Buy
" It was just yesterday that we said that Donald Trump had chosen the best of the two available options for the US government. The two, and only two, options are to default on the debt or to hyperinflate. And the best option for almost everyone (except those who stupidly and immorally loaned the US government money to carry on its worldwide terrorism) is to default. It would leave the US and world economy with at least some hope of rebuilding.
But, after he was admonished by the media for his "crazy" idea of not paying unpayable debts he showed the true politician in him and immediately flip-flopped.
On Monday, he recanted what he said last week. He assured us that default would "never happen" because the US can simply print money, echoing the party line of all policymakers these days. "
Meanwhile, Goldman is still short and in a lot of pain, cranking up those sell side articles, hoping against hope, that their are enough "Muppets" still following it's lead.
While more sane institutions urge their clients to diversify into precious metals.
The road ahead is a long one...
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Welcome Eilwynn and 9symphony9!
9symphony9, will be interesting to see music theory applied to Beatle songs!
Feel free to start a thread!

I am SatanHimself.
But don't judge me too harshly.
I have been a life-long lover of the Beatles, and I hope to meet some like-minded people who want to talk about the Beatles (and whatever) on a different level. I'm interested in the way their music affects us mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I look forward to being involved in some of those 'controversial' conversations. But in a positive way! No trolling.

Checking out the "new" forum look.
After some prodding from my friends, I've decided that I should at least pop in and say hi.
A quick re-introduction of skye:
s The Beatles (duh), Aikido (my obsession for over a year now), & cooking.
s Um, not a lot really. Heard a cover of Friday yesterday. That seemed unnecessary.
In closing, greetings to all forum members, both old and new!

Hello, everybody! My name's Cameron and I come from a very small town near the center of America. Hobbies of mine include playing tunes on my guitar, and listening to music. I've been a HUGE Beatles fan for as long as I can remember, so I consider it a privilege to chat about a variety of topics pertaining to them on this wonderful forum. I'll do my best to not participate in troll-related activities. I know I will enjoy posting here very much, and I hope other newcomers, like myself, will too!

Hello all,
I stumbled pon this site through a google search I did for beatles songs and albums. This has probably been one of my most productive searches yet! I've been a beatles fan since I was born....literally, The reason I got my name is because my mom grew up listening to the Beatles and named me "Michelle". So I tell people my name is the best ever because it's a song from the greatest band ever . Anyways glad to be here. (love the emoticons)

Welcome Michelle B! I wish I wasn't called Emily because then I could boast about how I was named after a Beatles song. Never mind. I suppose I will have to make do with Simon and Garfunkel's or Pink Flloyd's songs with Emily in the title.
Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

Welcome Bungalow Bill and Michelle B!!!!
I agree with fabfourEmily: it must be awesome to be named after a Beatles song! (I'm naming my kids Sadie, Lucy, and Jude )
I wish I was named after a Beatles song...or at least a song, period.
P.S.- Can someone please write a song called "Elise"? Pleeeaaaase?!

Reports of the fake monks spiked two years ago, then waned. But now they are back in force from Times Square to the High Read more
