Best Plasma Televisions
Plasma TVs are popular for their superior display qualities, wide-viewing angles, and other features such as fluid motion and deep colours. When they were introduced 10 years ago, they had a significantly shorter life-span when compared to most LCD and LED TVs. The burn-in image was another stigma that plasma tvs had to bear for a long time. However, with the progress in plasma technology, all that has become a thing of the past. The instances of images burning in are much rarer than before and most plasma television sets manufactured in the last couple of years are expected to be as durable as the common LED and LCD sets. If you are looking to replace your old tv with a new plasma, you might be considering just throwing the old one into the dump, but be warmed this isn't a good idea. The main reason is that all tv contain dangerous chemicals and metals, which can pollute the environment even more so the best idea is to find a proper electronic waste disposal site and give it to them. Alternatively you could see the old one on, giving you more money to spend on a bigger one.

What to Look for in Plasma TVs
Most plasma TVs come with a bigger screen than standard television sets. This means that you must have appropriate settings to mount a plasma tv at home. There must be enough room or distance between the tv and the watcher for the latter to enjoy the proper viewing angle. Another thing is that the plasma surface is more susceptible to glare, therefore it is important that you place the tv in a room where you can control the light at ease. Plasma sets are best enjoyed in near darkness or places with a minimum amount of light. It is also important to keep the room in clean conditions all the time. You can use the cheapest dyson dc40 multi floor or some other popular vacuum cleaner for that purpose.
However, keep this in mind that the bigger screen is not the only advantage with a plasma TV and there are other factors that one must take into account. These include 3D viewing options, depth of color, fluidity of motion, refresh rate, connectivity options, contrast ratio, etc. On the basis of these features, we have singled out the Samsung F8500 plasma tv series to be the best options available to the avid home theatre aficionado today. Panasonic plasma series TVs such as those from Panasonic Viera ZT60 and Panasonic Viera VT60 were highly popular, but sadly enough for plasma fans, Panasonic has recently announced that they are discontinuing the manufacture of plasma television and all their existing models are known to be sold out.
Samsung F8500
The models from this series are famous for their fluid motion, high-contrast display and rich and vivid colors. They come with 3D sound, 1920 x 1080 native resolution, subfield motion, 50.7" screen and other high end features. For high quality home theatre experience, these plasma tvs are among the best options you are going to have. In addition, this plasma tv comes with multiple HDMI ports which come handy when you are trying to connect your satellite or cable box to the tv set. You can also connect this tv set with a host of multimedia tools such as game system, blu-ray player, etc. The Bluetooth connectivity options are also there and you can also share content through cloud. The tvs in this series also come with one year extensive labor and parts warranty which are extendable in the future. The customer support section for Samsung plasma tvs is also known to be top-notch, which again helps since a plasma tv is a fat investment and is supposed to be a long-term commitment on the buyer's part.

GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- Mark Ingram may not be thinking about the Heisman Trophy, but that won't stop people in his hometown from doing it for him.
Several government and school officials, community members, business owners and Flint area athletes gathered Tuesday at Genesys Athletic Club to announce a local "Ingram for Heisman" push, organized by local community leaders.
"Despite the tough economic conditions in the Genesee County area and the entire state of Michigan, this Thanksgiving we still have a lot to be thankful for, including Mark Ingram," said Genesee County Circuit Judge Duncan Beagle, who's also a noted Flint-area sports enthusiast.
Ingram, a sophomore running back at the University of Alabama who played high school football for Grand Blanc and Flint Southwestern, is among the top contenders for this year's Heisman, the most prestigious award given out in college football each year.
"We've got a lot of hidden talent here in Flint," said Flint boxer Andre Dirrell. "Really, our objective (as established athletes) is exposing that for athletes now and athletes in the future. It's really a big thing to have these athletes (like Ingram) come out of Flint, have success, showing that we are big when it comes to not only sports, other things too."
The local movement is just part of the push for Ingram to win the Heisman Trophy. The website End The Drought, started by an Alabama football fan, notes that despite its history as one of the top programs in college football history, Alabama has never produced a Heisman winner. The site encourages people to vote for Ingram at ESPN.com and also sells t-shirts supporting Ingram's candidacy.
"The Heisman Trophy would mean a lot for Flint," said former Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves. "It's just a bright light on the city and all of the tough times we've been going through. We all just gotta come out and support him."
Several local restaurants will participate in local "Mark Ingram Day" Nov. 28, showing Alabama's game against Auburn at 2:30 p.m. Tables will be set up at Little Joe's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Da Edoardo's restaurants in Grand Blanc, PD's Pub in Mundy Township and the White Horse and Blackstone's downton Flint with information on Ingram, the Heisman voting process and "Ingram for Heisman" t-shirts. Other establishments interested in participating Friday can contact Jerry Preston at the Flint Area Convention and Visitor's Bureau at (810) 232-7747.
"To get this accomplishment, be in the Heisman Trophy conversation, is a big thing for Flint," said Flint boxer Anthony Dirrell.
Heisman voting is conducted nationwide, with all 50 states divided into regions. Each region has 145 media members who vote on the award. All former Heisman winners also vote. One fan vote is also counted. Fans can determine who will receive that one vote by going to ESPN.com and voting once a day in the online ballot.
"He never has a negative remark about anybody, he's always a team player," said Art Johnson, Ingram's grandfather, who played football at Michigan State and in the Canadian Football League. "I knew he had talent, but I didn't want to tell him that because I didn't want it to go to his head. His dad was the same way, but I'd tell his dad, 'he's better than you and I, period.'"
Ingram, who has 1,399 rushing yards and 15 combined rushing and receiving touchdowns this season for the undefeated Crimson Tide and is also a candidate for the Doak Walker Award, Maxwell Award and First-Team All-America honors, has said several times in interviews that he is focused solely on helping Alabama win a national title.
"He's always talking about his teammates and just winning," Cleaves said. "We all want him to win the Heisman, but he's more excited about going out and helping his team win a national championship."
People in the Flint area, however, have taken up his cause.
"Everyone knew Mark's skills (in high school)," said Grand Blanc Superintendent Mike Newton, who was the high school principal when Ingram was at Grand Blanc. "The community and students are very excited. One of their own is a top candidate for the Heisman. It's almost surreal."

George Robert Gissing, one of the finest English novelists of the later nineteenth century, was born in Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1857, the eldest of five children. His father, a chemist and amateur botanist, died when he was thirteen, a loss that affected him profoundly. Gissing and his two brothers were educated at Alderley Edge, Cheshire. A studious boy, Gissing excelled academically, winning prizes and acquiring a love of the classics that subsequently informed his fiction. In 1872 he won a scholarship to Owens College, Manchester (now Manchester University). All seemed set for a successful career when a calamity occurred that shattered his life. On May 31 1876 he was apprehended stealing from the college cloakroom. Within a week he …

FENTON, MI – The Fenton Regional Chamber of Commerce has a new home and new building as officials hope to make it a hub for the community.
The space, 104 S. Adelaide St., has more than 5,000 square feet – a considerable change from the 1,400 square feet at the rented space the chamber previously had at 114 N. Leroy.
Much of the extra space goes toward two meeting rooms for local businesses, Shelly Day, executive director, said. One of those rooms could see the addition of different technologies for use by local businesses.
"We're looking to develop one of the rooms into a training room," she said, adding that could be a year away.
The new location was purchased from a couple that was long-time members of the chamber and employees moved in about three weeks ago.
"We're very comfortable here and I see this building being an informational hub for the community and a definite benefit for our members," Day said.

1959 Bob Dylan Signed High School Yearbook
Starting Bid - $1,000.00, Sold For - $4,350.00
"Robert Zimmerman: To join Little Richard-Latin Club 2; Social Studies Club 4" is how Bob Dylan is memorialized in this personally signed copy of the 1959 Hibbing (MN) High School yearbook. The future rock-n-roll legend has signed to the book's original owner on one of the end pages: "Dear Winnie, I guess this is the last day we'll see Miss Barron. Too bad huh, don't you wish she'd follow us thru the rest of our lives and guide us. That'd be great. Good luck to you an' your boyfriend. A classmate, Bob Z." It is apparent, due to the faintness of the salutation and first line (still entirely legible), that Dylan's pen was running out of ink and he apparently switched pens to complete the inscription. The remainder of the text and Dylan's signature both grade "9/10." Dylan's own senior picture (identified as "Robert Zimmerman") appears on page 76, and the baby-faced photo challenges us to recognize him as a future leader of protest and rebellion. Dylan's high school sweetheart, Echo Helstrom, the original "Girl From North Country," appears on page 42. Dylan changed his name one year after graduating high school, taking his new surname from the poet Dylan Thomas. The blue ink inscription from Dylan is in a small, but very neat hand. The salutation and signature are in an area completely undisturbed by other tributes on the page. Early Dylan signatures and writing samples from his days as Robert Zimmerman are extremely rare. Given the rising popularity of celebrity high school yearbooks, this signed example stands as one of the premier collectibles relating to the early career of the man who would soon emerge as the musical spokesman for an entire generation. The 180-page leather-bound yearbook features numerous inscriptions throughout and displays only light wear to the cover from normal handling. The yearbook has one detached page (still present) and is otherwise overall in Excellent condition, with interior pages tight, clean, and crisp. This is a remarkable signed keepsake from the high school days of a rock and folk music immortal. LOA from Steve Grad & John Reznikoff/PSA DNA.Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000. SOLD FOR $4,350.00

Thingvellir is the first place to visit. The site of Iceland's – and in fact the world's – first parliament, the Althing. Dating from 930 AD, when the country's various chieftains would meet to settle disputes and work out ways to harmoniously share this harsh island, this place is steeped in history and is stunningly beautiful.

The Rockbox firmware alternative for the iPod and other MP3 players
Rockbox firmware brings new features to the iPod and a few other MP3 players. We'll show you how to install Rockbox on an iPod, and with a little tinkering, you'll have the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, customize the user interface, and add plug-ins.
Over the past few years, Apple's iPod has taken the market by storm, mutating from a simple MP3 player to a lifestyle object. Not all the standard firmware functions are popular with users, however. Something particularly annoying is that the iPod totally lacks some features, such as the ability to play Ogg Vorbis-formatted files.If you don't mind a little tinkering, you can talk your iPod into doing some things that Apple never intended it to do.
To help you rock your iPod, the Rockbox project offers a firmware product called Rockbox. Rockbox has several features that the iPod lacks, for example, the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, the ability to customize the user interface, and the option of extending the default software portfolio with plugins.

Value versus Growth Investing: Why Do Different Investors Have Different Styles?

January 13, 2015
Journal of Financial Economics, Volume 117, Issue 2, August 2015, Pages 333–349
We find that several factors explain an individual investor's style, i.e., the value versus growth orientation of the investor's stock portfolio. First, we find that an investor's style has a biological basis and is partially ingrained in an investor from birth. Second, we show that an investor's hedging demands as well as behavioral biases explain investment style. Finally, an investor's style is explained by life course theory in that experiences, both earlier and later in life, are related to investment style. Investors with adverse macroeconomic experiences (e.g., growing up during the Great Depression or entering the labor market during an economic recession) or who grow up in a lower socioeconomic status rearing environment have a stronger value orientation several decades later. Our research contributes a new perspective to the long-standing value and growth debate in finance.

Two cars were hit directly by the large tree, one of which was completely submerged under leaves and branches. A third car was also involved, though the damages were minor. The tree collapsed on Arroyo Park Drive, about one car-length away from the crosswalk.
"I was just stopped at a red light, when all of a sudden I heard a window shattering," said Lori Crown of Valencia, whose Mercedes Benz was struck by the tree as she was waiting to make a right turn onto McBean Parkway from Arroyo Park Drive. The tree shattered the rear window of her car.
A Dodge Neon was buried under the brush, and the driver of the vehicle was transported to Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital after she was injured trying to escape.
She suffered scrapes to her legs as she brushed against the tree's branches and leaves during her escape. The driver, whose injuries were not serious, was waiting to make a left turn onto McBean Parkway.
Deputies from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station, firefighters from Batallion 6 and Santa Clarita city workers spent approximately one hour cutting up the tree and cleaning up the mess. Traffic on Arroyo Park Drive was diverted through the Granary Square shopping center, while the the right lane on northbound McBean Parkway was blocked off to allow cleanup and emergency crews to park their vehicles while they removed the eucalyptus tree.
According to the National Weather Service, winds were clocked at approximately 50 mph when the tree collapsed.
A smaller tree located on Wiley Canyon Road split and landed on the street, blocking one lane of traffic approximately 30 minutes before it was removed by city crews.
Stuart Seto, a weather specialist with the National Weather Service, said a wind advisory was in effect in the Santa Clarita Valley through 5 a.m. Thursday morning, and winds would slow down to 10-20 MPH by Thursday evening.

Significantly fewer US children are dying in motor vehicle crashes, but a recent analysis showed that a substantial number who died weren't riding in a child safety seat or booster seat.
Data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System showed that 9182 children aged 12 years or younger died in motor vehicle crashes during 2002 to 2011. The figure represents a 43% reduction, from 2.2 deaths in vehicular crashes per 100 000 population in 2002 to 1.2 per 100 000 in 2011. However, one-third of the children who died in a motor vehicle crash in 2011 weren't properly restrained (Sauber-Schatz EK et al. MMWRMorb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2014;63[5]:113-118).

iFolder Releases Support for All Major Platforms
The wait is over for iFolder updates. Wider platform support and a number of significant additions should have the FOSS community moving forward again with the iFolder project.
Novell announced iFolder 3.7.2, the first updated release of iFolder since 2007. The Novell-sponsored open source project simplifies synchronizing files across multiple systems and enables users to access and share files securely with other users. iFolder's newest client software now supports Windows, Windows Vista, Mac OS X, and Linux, including openSUSE 10.3. Packages for openSUSE 11.1 will be available later this year. The iFolder project's updates include file merging, additional security options, and simplified handling of file conflicts. The most recent iFolder client and server packages and source code are available for immediate download.
"iFolder has been really popular with the FOSS community and the lack of updates over the past year have been a major problem," says openSUSE's Community Manager, Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier. "The release of 3.7.2 is a first step towards making iFolder a vibrant community project, and I'm really happy that we're finally able to move forward on this once again."

Paris Hilton was released from jail today after spending a little more than three days there. She remains under house arrest for 40 days.
She was released because of a medical condition, Newsday reports. She will wear an ankle bracelet at home, according to Associated Press.
Hilton was sentenced for violating probation by driving on a suspended license. She had been expected to spend 23 days in jail after time off for good behavior. She had previously pleaded no contest to a charge of drunk driving.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore would not provide further details about Hilton's medical condition at a hastily called news conference, according to TMZ.com, which carries frequent Hilton gossip.

The Bad Boy Lawn Mower Race, held at Nelson's homestead near Austin last week, was part of a music-video shoot for his new song, "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore," reports the Austin American-Statesman.
Photos from the shoot, featuring Harrelson and Owen Wilson in cowboy hats and action shots from the race, were posted Friday on a Nelson fan blog. The men rode orange lawn mowers, while Simpson was given a flashy pink one.
It's the latest high-profile appearance by Wilson, 38, who's recovering from what police called a suicide attempt last August. Earlier in the month, he briefly showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of his movie, The Darjeeling Limited, where his costar Jason Schwartzman said, "Owen is doing very well."

Wednesday Notes from PGA National & the Honda Classic
One of the unique and appealing aspects of the PGA Tour is its Wednesday pro-am. You can't go to bat against C.C. Sabathia in Yankee Stadium or return serve against Roger Federer at Centre Court of Wimbledon or try to take Kobe Bryant to the hoop at Staples Arena. But today, at the Honda Classic, held at PGA National Resort & Spa, 200 amateurs with handicaps running the gamut got to tee to it up on the mighty Champion Course alongside the best golfers on the planet.
The 9th Green at the Champion Course
The "Kenny G Gold Pro-Am" started at 6:45 a.m. Tiger Woods and his four amateur partners teed off on the par-4 first hole with a few hundred caffeinated early-risers applauding the opening salvos. Of course, Tiger probably can't drop off his dry-cleaning without attracting a sizable crowd and, by the time his group reached the 18th, 2,000 or so fans were following his every move. The dude is box-office.
After his round Tiger praised the Champion Course, where he hadn't played since he was 14 years old in the final round of the PGA Junior Championship, saying, "It's in great shape," and, "I'm excited to play."
When asked about the difficult Bear Trap - Nos. 15, 16 and 17 - Tiger said, "The par-3s at 15 and 17 are the challenge. There's really no bail-out. You have to hit a good shot." It will be quite intriguing to watch him play on the day before the tournament starts for real Thursday morning.
One amateur thrilled to be playing the Champion Course in the pro-am was Will Bain - an IT exec from St. Louis, Mo. He won a free trip to the Honda Classic via a promotion co-sponsored by PGA National and retail giant Golf Galaxy. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me," said Bain. "It was a great surprise to win and I'm excited to be here." A nice guy with an unassuming smile, Bain did admit to being "a touch nervous." We wished him the best.
In addition to players like Woods, Rory McIlory and Rickie Fowler entertaining the crowds in the morning, the featured afternoon foursome had a wonderfully diverse combination of players: Greg Norman, Kenny G, LPGA teen sensation Lexi Thompson, New England Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick and NFL great Joe Theismann. How's that for an interesting group?
After a brief respite due to a rain shower, two things were immediately obvious when watching this group start its round. Number one is Kenny G is a flat-out excellent golfer. His swing is as sweet as his mesmerizing sax solos. He's one of the few celebrities whose golf handicap isn't one of vanity.
Number two is that 16-year-old Lexi Thompson is going to win a crazy number of tournaments. On the range her piercing shots had every bit the length and trajectory of the Tour players practicing next to her. It's the same feeling of watching a young Tiger Woods when he first burst onto the scene - this girl will really be something special.
Despite a downpour or two, it was another joyous day at the storied South Florida resort. There's no doubt Tiger has generated huge local interest in the proceedings, and the appreciative fans cheered on their golfing heroes throughout the day.
Afterwards, the spacious and comfortable hotel lobby teemed with people enjoying its hip iBAR as the room buzzed with excitement and good cheer. The "Florida Swing" of the PGA Tour is off and running in grand style.
Oh, did I mention that I got to see - in person - the young lady who will become the greatest woman golfer in history? Not bad for an outing in the middle of a work week.
In addition to writing on golf and travel, author and noted speaker David Wood has made several appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman" as well as dozens of other television shows. His book - "Around the World in 80 Rounds" - was just released in paperback on www.Amazon.com. Currently he works in public relations with Buffalo Communications in Vienna, Va. His website is www.DavidWoodSpeaking.com.

The Trials and Tribulations of Counting 'Trials'
Herbert M. Kritzer
University of Minnesota Law School
April 4, 2013
63 DePaul Law Review 415-441 (2013)
Minnesota Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-26
This paper was prepared for the 2012 Clifford Symposium honoring Marc Galanter which was held at DePaul Law School. One aspect of Galanter's recent work is on the phenomenon he labeled the "vanishing trial." In this paper I examine the problems that arise when one seeks to count the number of trials. I show that the definition of a trial, other than a jury trial, is highly ambiguous. There are many trial-like events taking place in venues we do not label "courts." Even in the court setting, and even for jury trials, there are vast differences in when a trial is counted. I show that there are at least several million trial-like events taking place in the United States annually, although the number of jury trials is small and has been declining in recent years. I conclude with a discussion of why we might care about how many trials occur and why the decline in the number of trials might reflect at least in part positive developments such as the professionalization of policing and the provision of legal counsel to criminal defendants in criminal cases and more economically rational behavior by litigants in civil cases.

Yinka Shonibare's Message in a Bottle
Hybrid Citizen-Ship
Entering Trafalgar Square in London, it was nearly impossible to miss the curious installation of an impressive ship in a bottle. Placed atop the Fourth Plinth in front of the National Gallery from May 24th 2010 to last week, was the whimsically oversized model Nelson's Ship in a Bottle (2010) by British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare, MBE. Shonibare, celebrated for his potent, yet playful, post-colonial perspective and symbolic use of West African textiles, last exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem in a 2002 solo show. His recent site-specific sculpture across the pond was commissioned by the Mayor of London and Fourth Plinth Commissioning Group as part of a contemporary public art initiative.

A New Yorker Heads West
An Art-Filled L.A. Weekend
It was with great excitement that I traveled to Los Angeles two weekends ago to participate in the kick-start of Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, a six-month initiative highlighting the rich and evolving art scene of this vibrant city. Having been born and raised in New York City, I have come to cherish its unique cultural history—claiming "Museum Mile" as my own backyard and its prestigious museums as my playground. Yet while inherently proud of New York-centric cultural movements such as the Harlem Renaissance and abstract expressionist painting, arts of the West Coast have always held a strong element of intrigue for me as well: pop, performance, conceptual art, collaboration! It was thus with keen anticipation that I embarked upon finally experiencing this Western cultural locus in person.
Performa 09: Back to Futurism
RoseLee Goldberg in conversation with Shirin Neshat and Wangechi Mutu
Celebrating the newest publication by Performa Founding Director and Curator RoseLee Goldberg, Performa 09: Back To Futurism surveys the New York visual art performance landscape as it was during the last Performa biennial in 2009. Though it might seem a bit belated for the release of such a book, Goldberg's intent is not just for the present, but for the "art historians of the future," thirty years from now, who will use documents like this and the two previously published volumes to get a snapshot of what was going on with live performance art in 2009.
Live from Pacific Standard Time
A healthy contingency of Studio Museum representatives flew to Los Angeles this weekend to check out Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980, a region-wide initiative to celebrate the birth of the L.A. art scene. Funded by The J. Paul Getty Trust, 60+ cultural institutions in Southern California are simultaneously showcasing exhibitions that highlight major L.A. art movements from 1945-1980.
Rico Gatson
Three Trips Around the Block
Rico Gatson opens his mid-career retrospective entitled Three Trips Around the Block tonight at Exit Art. A frequent exhibitor at The Studio Museum in Harlem, Gatson participated in the groundbreaking group show Freestyle (2001), curated by Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem. Gatson's work - videos, performances, sculptures and paintings oftentimes dominated by kaleidoscopic imagery and high-contrast patterns - conceptually mines the process of mourning and liberating tragic African American histories.

You could feel a little down today, which might make you feel like retreating to a quiet place to be alone. Being sad or gloomy, while uncomfortable, might be an indication that you need to find time to take care of and nurture yourself. Relaxation pose, you might find, can be a way for you to rest, recharge, and rejuvenate yourself. To do this pose, simply lie on the floor with your palms facing upward, breathing gently and rhythmically. As the breath enters your body, you might imagine that you are pulling bright, healing energy into yourself. With each exhale, picture your tension dissolving slowly into the ground. Taking the time to do this pose today could make you feel better about yourself and more equipped to cope with the issues you face in the outside world.
Relaxation pose is a powerful way to calm our minds and refresh our spirits. When we feel depressed, angry, or uncomfortable with anything in our lives, it is normal for us to want to be someplace quiet to be with our thoughts. If left only with our thoughts, we might spiral into an even darker place. The new energy we summon through relaxation pose, however, gives us the strength to both face and release the things that trouble us. This makes us more able to overcome any negative feelings we have and helps us focus on the positive. By giving yourself the gift of healing energy, you will feel better, and things in your life will appear much brighter today.

5 out of 5 stars Liposuction
Kind Service, Great Results - San Juan, PR
I had a great experience with Dr. Nadal. He was very informative about the procedure and realistic about what to expect after surgery. I had a follow up visit the day after my surgery and his office has been very diligent in following up with me since. I am very happy with the results of my surgery.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Augmentation
Saline Implants - San Juan, PR
As a surgeon, Dr. Nadal was able to provide me with a full background on breast augmentation, and what my possible options were (silicone or saline, and size appropriateness). He was able to give me an unbiased opinion on the different approaches to treatment, informing me on all their pros and cons, and their respective recovery. When it came to the procedure (I chose saline implants), Dr. Nadal treated me with the utmost care and professionalism. He took all the necessary precautions to guarantee a successful surgery. All in all I am very happy with my results and would definitely refer any relative or friend considering cosmetic surgery.

WASHINGTON - George W. Bush says he's for instant checks at gun shows, but he let legislation on the issue die in Texas. He says the subject "needs to be worked out" in Washington - then opposes the solution passed by the Senate.
What looks at first to be a Texas-sized flip flop is instead an example of how Bush speaks in vague terms with versatile words that don't pin him down on a contentious issue. It is an age-old political skill that President Clinton turned into an art form.
From abortion to Kosovo to gun control, hate crimes, affirmative action and the environment, the front-running Republican presidential contender uses precisely imprecise language to leave himself wiggle room.
"I think comparisons to Clinton can be strained in some major ways, but in small areas like careful word choice and artful policy positions, they both show political deftness and skill of a similar sort," said Bruce Buchanan, professor of government at the University of Texas, a presidential specialist who has watched Bush's career up close.
The Texas governor's supporters don't like the comparison.
"Governor Bush exercises responsible leadership - leadership that seeks to unify people and find common ground rather than pit people against one another," spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said.
"He states his position clearly and responsibly. Some media and Democrats want to try to goad him into saying what he's against. But Governor Bush wants people to know what he is for," she said.
Bush said in May he is for a constitutional amendment to make abortion illegal - just what the conservative wing of his party wanted to hear.
In the same interview, he said Americans' "hearts are not right" on the issue, thus concluding that there is no sense in pushing for an amendment opposed by many moderate voters.
Affirmative action is another issue that divides the left from right. With three squishy sentences in April, Bush seemed to oppose and support it. "I'm for affirmative access. I think the state ought to do everything in its power to provide equal opportunity for all citizens. I think quotas put one group of people against another."
On Kosovo, Bush criticized Clinton for taking a ground invasion off the table, but when asked whether he would deploy troops he deftly dodged. "That's dependent upon the military advisers that would be advising me," he said.
He did make one thing perfectly clear: "I support winning."
He wouldn't take a position on a hate crimes bill in the Texas legislature, yet stood firm against hate and crime. "All crime is a hate crime," he said in May.
This self-styled compassionate conservative defends his environmental record, but has waffled on global warming.
"I think the science is still out on issues like global warming," he said in March.
"I believe there is global warming," he said May 13.
He noted still later, a "number of conservative people . . . disagree about its cause and impact."
In the aftermath of the school shootings in Littleton, Colo., Bush said he supported a Republican proposal for voluntary background checks at gun shows but wanted Washington to go farther and make the checks mandatory. The GOP measure failed.
When Vice President Al Gore cast the tie-breaking vote to pass the Democratic alternative - with sponsors saying it provides for mandatory checks - Bush refused at first to say whether he supported it.
He limited his reaction to the defeated GOP version, which he said was stricter than the Democratic measure. "My vice president, I suspect, would have helped make sure" the GOP measure passed, he said.
"I suspect" is a word Clinton likes to use to leave himself an out.
The Texas governor summed up Bushspeak best himself, answering queries about a tough topic in 1998: "Those are all questions that have to be answered given the context of the moment."
The context of the moment can yield answers from Bush that seem a shade or two different from his previous responses. It might be that his opinion has changed, but more often than not it boils down to this: He never really made his opinion clear in the first place.
Buchanan said Bush, like Clinton, carefully selects his words to leave room to maneuver around political landmines. Both men seek to bridge the gap between the old rhetoric of the right and left.
"It's irritating to purists, but it's definitely the art of the possible and creative ambiguity. And it is a valued political skill," he said. "Given the way our system works, it's a necessary one."

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the first overall pick in the draft this year, and that uncertainty continues all the way back.
While first-round picks find themselves under immense pressure to produce from day one, players selected in the later rounds are able to enter their rookie seasons without the same level of hype.
Look for several players selected in the fourth round or later to come into the league and have an impact on their new teams immediately.
Here are a few future rookies that have the ability to perform during their rookie seasons and have the potential to develop into the next batch of NFL superstars. Teams may be kicking themselves for passing up on these guys on day one.

Three hundred twenty respondents in selected geographic areas were interviewed with a structured questionnaire that included the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. Dimensional analysis indicates that some items are not pure measures of the constructs they were originally intended to assess. Moreover, some of the dimensions within the scale apparently convey different meanings to different segments in the population. In addition, different dimensions within the scale have varying demographic correlates.
The analysis suggests that in order for the scale to be a truly useful device for assessing depressive symptomatology in a general population, additional items need to be added and some questions need to be followed by probes to clarify the exact frame of reference of the respondents.

Scott Pruett tied Hurley Haywood's record of five Rolex 24 at Daytona victories Sunday, helping Chip Ganassi Racing return to Victory Lane in the prestigious sports car race.
A slight lineup change and a dominating performance in the twice-around-the-clock race earned the No. 01 team another celebratory Rolex watch.
Three-time defending Grand-Am champions Pruett and Memo Rojas, along with NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and IndyCar driver Charlie Kimball teamed to beat the VelocityWW team by almost 22 seconds.
The No. 42 Team Sahlen BMW/Riley car, with drivers Simon Pagenaud, Dane Cameron and Wayne Nonnamaker, finished 21st, ninth in the Daytona Prototype class. Team Sahlen's No. 43 car, with Elma's Joe Sahlen driving along with Tomy Drissi, Joe Nonnamaker, Will Nonnamaker and Bruno Junqueira, ran 44th.

TRENTON — Bruce Springsteen's sound and stage crew warmed up at the Sun National Bank Center yesterday, offering the tantalizing promise that The Boss himself might appear at the arena he's rocked two times before.
But officials said yesterday that rumors Springsteen was rehearsing at the Sun Center were just that: rumors.
"At this time it's just production in the building, no rehearsals are taking place with the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen," said Jen Grinspan, the arena's marketing director.
Grinspan said the crew was weighing equipment and setting up a grid in anticipation of the upcoming Wrecking Ball tour scheduled to kick-off in Atlanta on March 18. The tour is named after Springsteen's latest studio album, his 17th, which is being released today.
There were few signs of one of Jersey's favorite sons at the arena yesterday — no limos, no SUVs with tinted windows and no throngs of squealing fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the rock star.
But two Roadshow trailers stood parked outside the arena's loading dock, and a small but vigilant security detail stood watch inside and out.
"This is a sealed building, rented privately," said one black-clad security guard inside the arena's front doors. "Nobody can come in."
Arena workers, including two at the box office, said they, too, heard that only the crew was hard at work inside the 10,000-seat Sun Center. But a source familiar with the arena's schedule heard last week The Boss would be dropping by to rehearse. A publicist for Springsteen did not return an e-mail yesterday.
"Bruce Springsteen?" a man asked disbelievingly as he picked up a refund for a canceled show at the box office yesterday.
Grinspan would not reveal how long the crew was expected to stay at the arena, or when they started prepping the stage. But over the weekend, photos of a half-assembled stage surfaced on Twitter, taken by attendees of a weekend cheerleading event at the center.
The photos appeared on the Bruce Springsteen News Facebook page, quickening the pulses of fans awaiting Springsteen's return to the capital city.
Before fame, fortune and his emergence as both a working's man champion and stadium concert god, Springsteen played several shows at the War Memorial in 1974, just one year after the release of the Freehold native's debut album, "Greetings from Asbury Park N.J." He returned in November 2005, closing out his Devils & Dust tour with two dates at the Sun Center, then the Sovereign Bank Arena.
In 2008, rumor had it Springsteen would return for another show in Trenton, but The Boss bypassed the smaller arena for New Jersey shows at massive Giants Stadium instead.
After Atlanta, the first leg of Springsteen's latest tour will touch down in Philadelphia for two performances at the Wells Fargo Center on March 28 and 29. Three New Jersey shows have been announced so far: April 3 and 4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford and May 2 at the Prudential Center in Newark.
The new album, which Springsteen calls "as direct a record as I ever made," sets the country's recent financial crisis to song as the rocker rages against the excesses of Wall Street.
"Send the robber barons straight to hell/ the greedy thieves that came around/ And ate the flesh of everything they found," he sings on the Irish-tinged "Death To My Hometown."

This is my dream to Be The Boss. This new show will appear in the land of reality TV. Why, should you tune in for another show? The answer is simple this one is inspiring. You see I hate when people are just given something. They never realize the importance of what they are given. This is a reality show where people compete to own a franchise of the company they work for. It is very personable and the activities are relevant to the position that they will have in the future.
I actually enjoyed watching the show so much that I watched every episode available to me. The people in the stories are like most of us . We all have a dream and the drive to succeed but we lack the money to really capitalize on our strengths. This show is the missing piece since it helps people who have everything other than the money to be successful as franchise owners.
"Be the Boss," a competition-based series that pits two employees of a franchise-based company in the battle of a lifetime – with the chance to become the owner of their very own franchise – to, in success, become their own boss. "Be the Boss" premieres Sunday, December 2 at 10PM ET/PT. Show airs every Sunday, 11pm. I suggest you tune in and mark it on your calendar.
I know you can't be the boss but how about winning some of the awesome prizes… A Molly Maid, $100 melting pot, Auntie Anne's: At-home baking kit giveaway… Be The Boss Giveaway <——–

I have been going to Dr. Chadab for about 19 years. I like his bedside manner and appreciate his honesty. I had a problem with hair breakage. He advise me to give up either hair dyes or relaxers. I decided to give up relaxers and guess what? I have no more hair breakage. I like his approach simple but accurate.
Overall all Dr. Marvin Chadab is a good careing doctor,however his wife is very nasty and rude. She does not know how to speak to people. Dr. Chadab needs to really have a talk with her. The other staff are so OWESOME!!!!!!!!
Family and I have a history of skin cancer and I'm required to a 6 month check up for skin cancer. I was new in town and Dr. Chadab was one of the only people I could get an appointment with. He spent no more than 4 minutes with me. He didn't even take the time to look at hidden areas like the scalp. I felt like it was complete rip off. I would not recommend going to Dr. Chadab.
I went in to Dr. Chadab to get recommendations for improving my adult acne before my wedding. He made it very clear that he didn't consider me worth his time, telling me that he had patients with "real problems." I felt so uncomfortable with him that I didn't feel I could ask him to perform a routine screening for skin cancer either. He did give me a new prescription for the acne, but because of his terrible bedside manner, I never went back to him again.
Excellent in every way.

Watch: Secrets of James Franco's 'General Hospital' stint revealed
Daytime television and moviegoers have been on edge ever since the announcement that acclaimed actor and Columbia University graduate student James Franco will be making a three-week stint on ABC's "General Hospital." Now, ABC has revealed a tantalizing teaser that reveals the storyline of Franco's daytime debut. What have we learned?
- Franco plays a "mysterious witness" who may or may not be a murderer, but certainly witnessed a cover up of someone's death.
- He also appears to be a news photographer as he notes, "violence sells, that's what I'm all about, right?"
- Franco is one of two assassins, but did he commit the murder?
- Franco's character has his shirt taken off by a sexy blonde. Oh, James...
- No surprisingly, ABC describes the whole scenario as a "shocking General Hospital event" (as opposed to an unsurprising event?).
- And finally, Franco ends the promo with, "I like it here in Port Charles. People are so friendly."
Clearly, daytime television will never be the same. The edge of your seat drama will begin on Friday, Nov. 20. Look for the type of continuing coverage only HitFix can provide on what will no doubt be one of the highlights of Franco's career.
Check out the promo below and decide whether you'll set your DVR or even skip work to catch it.
Thanks to our friends at Zap2It for bringing this to HitFix's attention.

Flying Biscuit's Creamy Dreamy White Cheddar Grits
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
This recipe is from The Flying Biscuit, an awesome little resturant in 2 locations in Atlanta GA. You always have to wait a few minutes to be seated but I would wait days if I had to to eat there. The biscuits and the grits are what makes this place so popular and the atmostphere is euphoric.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon white pepper
- 2 cups quick-cooking grits
- 1 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
- In a saucepan, combine water, half-and-half, salt and white pepper and bring to a boil. Slowly pour grits into boiling water while whisking the entire time. (Watch out for splattering; mixture is very hot.) Reduce to low heat and continue to whisk often, until thick and completely smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Add cheese and stir gently until cheese melts. Whisk again to combine. Turn heat off and allow grits to rest 5 minutes. Add butter and stir until completely smooth, silky and shiny.

All I have to say is AWESOME!!
AMAZING grits - exactly like Flying Biscuit's! I always feel nervous about making recipes that claim to replicate something from a restaurant, but this one really is dead on.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe! I ate breakfast at The Flying Biscuit in Buckhead in February and LOVED their grits! I tried your recipe, but I used the "change the serving size" feature to change it to 2 servings instead of the 12. RecipeZaar did the calculating and it came out perfect. Just like the restaurant, creamy and delicious!

Nobody saw them competing with the Blackhawks last season either. But we managed to take them to OT in game 7. Didn't the Wings have to win their last 4 last season just to get in? Weren't there just as many injuries playing the little wimpy Western Conference? Trade Jimmy Howard? That No Movement Clause may put a damper on that. Most teams are at or near the salary cap. A majority of the roster has a NTC or NMC, so making trades isn't an easy proposition. I can't think of another team that has so many starters out of the lineup. If the Wings were relatively healthy and were in the same position, it'd be a bit more disconcerting. But as someone else mentioned, with the salary cap and lack of high draft picks over the past 2 decades, a decline was inevitable. It would be nice if they were Championship contenders every year, but no team is in any sport is. It's not to say that I've agreed with every move Holland has made, but the Wings have been so good for so long, the fans have become spoiled. I don't want to see it all end either, but its going to happen sooner or later.
I agree, the playoffs are a crapshoot the most important thing is to get in, cause once you're there anything can happen.

We live and specialize in Villa Rica, Ga and happen to know of some lofts that are available. They are very quaint and have the feel of a loft with brick walls and lots of antique wood. They use to be used as a mill I believe. Let us know and we can give you some pricing.
Take Care,
Jonathan & Natalie Lee
We looked for lofts in Villa Rica and didn't find any. There are some new construction townhomes called Townsend Village and some resales townhomes called Wilson Mill. There are some lofts in Carrollton which isn't too far from Villa Rica. Midtown Lofts range from the 140's to 180's. And Lawler Lofts run in the 130's. Hope this helps.
Have a great day!

Style points matter far less than the bottom line in postseason baseball.
The mantra is simply to survive and advance.
Top-seeded Goose Creek Post 166 took a tiny step toward the next round on Monday night, fending off fourth-seeded Hartsville, 5-3, in the opening contest of a five-game series.
Tuesday's game was to be in Hartsville and Wednesday's third game was to be back in Goose Creek. Thursday was set for Hartsville and Friday in Goose Creek if necessary.
Post 166 (18-7) had just four hits and trailed 3-0 before coming back in the middle innings.
"It was kind of a grinder really," Post 166 coach Dave Holt said. "It was one of those games where I thought we could have had a few more runs.
"We hit some balls really well that didn't fall in and they ran down some balls on us."
Goose Creek scored its first run in the bottom of the fourth inning, collecting two of its hits. Cody Smith led off with a single and raced home on Chris Singleton's RBI double. Smith was the only Post 166 player with multiple hits, going 2 for 3 with a pair of runs scored.
Post 166 tied it in the bottom of the fifth on a bases loaded walk and sacrifice fly by Singleton. In the process, Goose Creek chased Hartsville starter Jalen Durant, who threw four-plus innings in a no-decision.
Post 166 scored its decisive runs in the bottom of the sixth off Hartsville reliever Dontavious Wilson.
Christian Sillanpaa led off with a walk, moved to third on a throwing error and scored on Austin Timm's sacrifice fly. Later, a groundout by Zach Lavery pushed in the other run to make it 5-3.
From there, Austin Timm tossed two innings of relief followed by Zurcher as the closer.
Lavery (3-1) was the winning pitcher, tossing the first six innings. He gave up four hits, struck out 10 batters and issued five free passes. Of the three runs he allowed, two were earned.
Timm surrendered two hits and fanned two. Zurcher worked a perfect ninth for his second save of the season.

Quad hits couple at wedding
Anyone know who this is?
Quadrocopter SLAMS Into Groom's Face, Ruins Wedding Photos

It was originally posted on youtube. Here is the description from the pilot:
Ok so here's the story. This was shot using a DJI phantom and a gopro camera. This was two days before the wedding at their bridal shoot. This happened towards the beginning. I had done one successful fly by and i brought it around for another pass to make sure it was smooth. I underestimated the lift time and it hit the goom on the side of the face. He had a cut on his cheek and and the side of his head. I felt horrible. Luckily the bride and groom were able to laugh about it after and we continued the shoot. At the request of the bride and groom I put the video online. All though it sucks that this happened. I have decided to own up to what I did, instead of try to hide it from the world.

Hope they cut the grass before the wedding. This looks staged, nobody else around, anywhere? Seems fishy. So just the bride, groom and incompetent pilot in an unkempt field? We don't need posers to give quads a black eye.
At least get some small food strainers and create an enclosed cage around the props if you're going to be zooming around people. I would say don't get near people with a quad but we can all see how well some people will take that advice.
He nailed the shot though. Glad they were ok.
Why are prop guards so rare? - Are they really that bad for performance?
Certainly seems like the Phantom needs to ship with them, given the number of clueless newbies flying/crashing/losing them...
I don't think we even need completely rigid and crashproof prop guards. Couldn't we just make cheap plastic mesh prop guards that'd at least reduce harm in cases like this. If the prop guard flexes and hits the prop in a crash, that's probably acceptable, as it's bettter for a 'sacrificial' prop guard to absorb most of the impact of the spinning prop than somebody's face?...
How could this fake or staged????
Who would sign up to take a quad in the face????
Stand my by original post: FAIL!

OK, OK, it's real. But, which is worse, the camera, the photographic skill, or the piloting? Dude could have taken up a nice camera in his hands and walked up to the couple. Same effect, better quality. Need a higher angle? put the camera on a stick.
Also, the great thing about quads is you have 360 degrees of motion to work with. Up, down, right, left, forwards, backwards and many many variations of these. At some point he possibly could have considered this. I would have recommended backwards, but up, left, right, down, would have worked.
So if you a total jerk, can't fly for crap, make a fool of yourself and injure someone, please go ahead and post your video on youtube for all to see. That is just great for the hobby.
Thanks from those of us who are carefully working on our kit, working on our skills, trying to build respect in the public eye and respecting the safety considerations of the hobby.

The videographer is a wedding videographer from Utah. In the facebook wedding video groups he has been skewered. In the wedding video industry (and I am in that industry) he has a solid reputation. He has since decided no more flying around people.
Unfortunately in the event video world way too many "filmmakers" (that's what they call themselves these days) have snatched up Phantoms and started adding aerials to their work. Most of them have never touched anything RC beyond an Airhog. . I have been waiting for one of them to do something stupid like this. I have challenged many of them to fly their Phantom without GPS or Atti mode turned on. I am still trying to get one of them to fly in manual mode. None will take me up on it. They don't realize there is more to flying these things than charging a battery and going outside to get shots. Phantom installs the "idiot proof" technology and the idiots buy them and do idiotic things with them. Look out....once they pay for the 3D gimbals that are hitting the market as add ons there will be no stopping them. Look for more of these kinds of shots to happen.
Should help the FAA clamp down on us quickly and with great force.
Oh and BTW....for those of you that don't know the wedding video industry too well....many times there will be a shoot before the wedding to get some cool footage of all kinds to make a love story or some kind of romantic production to display at the reception. It is very common so yet it was staged and the bride and groom were the only ones there. It was not the wedding day. I've done a few myself but at least I haven't whacked anyone with a Quad.....haven't used my copters for one of those. I did do a "trash the dress" and use a plane with a video cam on it once.

DUBLIN, Ohio - "This is corporate greed at its finest," stated Ohio state Rep. Dan Stewart, addressing an angry crowd of unionists and supporters at Wendy's headquarters here. "At some point we have to demand to know; 'Just how many billions are enough? Just exactly how low should worker's wages and benefits be driven down to? And, ultimately, who exactly is supposed to buy their burgers when we reach that point?'"
Central Ohio unionists and supporters braved cold weather to demand that Wendy's corporation stop its holiday assault on union bakers, their families and the nearby community of Zanesville.
"I know one thing," said United Food and Commercial Workers member Joan Fluharty, "I've eaten the last Wendy's burger I'll ever eat. It's just getting to the point that these stinking, greedy corporations will take everything we have, everything our families and communities have, and all just so they can get richer! This has to stop!"
For over 30 years bakers in Zanesville, members of Bakers Local 57 have produced all the buns for Wendy's. They've had a decent relationship with management and have supported their families with good paying jobs, health care and have retired with real pensions. They've been a solid support for the Zanesville community, paying taxes, supporting local schools, etc. When Dave Thomas started Wendy's, it was a local, family owned business, with decent food at fair prices that treated its workers decently. Now all that is changing, due to an epidemic of corporate greed.
Recently, Wendy's was taken over by another corporate giant; Arby's. Not content with the massive profits they're now making, Arby's has issued demands that the workers in Zanesville give up their health care, one vacation week and job rights. Even worse, they are stealing the retiree's health care and wiping out all pensions for new retirees.
"This is just outright corporate greed at its most vicious, and this at holiday time," stated Bakers Union Business Agent Vester Newsome. "We need to stand together and draw a line somewhere to protect regular working families. We're going to stand up for justice and we ask the public to stand with us!"
The Bakers have taken a unanimous strike vote, but hope that they don't have to exercise that right. They're asking the public to not eat at Wendy's at this time, and to call corporate headquarters, 614-764-3100, to demand that the new owners stop trying to destroy unions and communities.
"Sometimes it's just plain too much, and we have to draw a line in the sand and say, 'No damn more, it ends here,'" said Walt Workman, secretary treasurer of the Central Ohio Central Labor Council. "The Bakers are going to go national with this campaign and we're going to do everything in our power to help them. I think the rest of labor and the American people will support justice when they hear what's going on here!"
