Replacing Your Roof Because of Hail Damage
Many people live in an area with storms that produce damaging hail. You may be concerned whether you need to potentially Lightweight Roofing Solutions replace your roof because of the hail damage. The fact of the matter is that if you look at your roof from the ground level it is highly probable that you will not be able to tell whether it has been damaged or not. In order to properly determine whether a roof should be replaced, it is best to have it inspected by a professional with training and experience in evaluating hail damaged roofs. With even the slightest bit of damage, small marks and indentations can lead to deterioration over time that will eventually turn into leaks. Replacing the roof is the safest option to prevent wide spread leaking that can do more damage if left unchecked.
Many insurance adjusters do have this type of training to identify hail damage, and in many cases, if you are filing an insurance claim for roof replacement, they will require their own personnel to inspect and find out if the roof is suffering from hail damage. Once inspected, the adjuster determines if the roof meets the requirements to be covered by the insurance policy. Additionally, finding a good roofing contractor that can also evaluate hail damage will help you know your options and evaluate the potential cost associated with roof replacement. Landscape Investments has partnered with many A+ rated Christian roof contractors. For more information please visit us at www.fenceinvestments.com or contact owner Greg Davis at 940-321-2047

Of course you might not be in a hurry to pass health care legislation if you already have the best health insurance program in the country - sponsored by the U.S. government as our congressmen do; appear to be more concerned about leverage against "them Democrats" and playing to your base, than in helping your constituents who are hurting.
Your are in no hurry if you own or lobby for a health insurance corporation and have a congressman's ear (and contribute to their war chest). But there are some that have more immediate needs.
Just three weeks' delay will mean: 143,250 people will lose their health coverage; 53,507 people will file for bankruptcy because they can't pay their medical bills; and 1,265 people will die because they don't have coverage according to Families USA, which based its numbers on national estimates published in the policy journal Health Affairs in May 2009.
In Texas, we have 24 percent uninsured Texans, compared to 15.3 percent nationally, have 16.3 percent Texans living below the poverty level compared to 12.5 percent nationally.
These people are in a hurry. And so are 70 percent of all Americans. Do what you know in your heart is right.

The events in Ferguson, Mo., have actually led to that national conversation on race we regularly recommend to ourselves.
Once something's out on the Web, it's hard to retract, even if it's factually incorrect; old age may not begin when we traditionally thought it did; meanwhile, Richard Martinez, the father of one of the Isla Vista shooting victims, hits the nail on the head when it comes to the politics behind many mass murders. These discoveries and more after the jump.

In little over a century, Americans have gone from a life expectancy of 47 to one of 78. By 2025 there will be 66 million Americans over 65. The decisions that we make individually and collectively about how to spend this gift of time will reshape the country.

Here's another reason why baby boomers are still running various sectors of society: They need less sleep. According to a new study published, fittingly, in the journal Sleep, people in their 60s don't need to snooze for quite as long as their younger counterparts. This may partly explain why Jay Leno is still on the air.

As a news source, Politico is seen as leaning slightly right, which makes this report, "6 things Palin pick says about McCain," surely more troubling for Team McCain than if it had run on a less sympathetic outlet.
AP photo / Mary Altaffer
Would President John McCain forget who made that 3 a.m. call to the special White House phone? I suspect that his aides would not just let him nod off back to sleep, even if they were intimidated by the prospect of one of his alleged intemperate outbursts, but might our septuagenarian president be less than fully focused?
CNN takes a look at John McCain's tendency to flub lines in the middle of speeches because he has difficulty reading the teleprompter. Apparently it's such an issue that his campaign has had to experiment with a range of alternatives.
At the end of two terms, a President McCain would be 80. Should voters care about that? The question is an important one that shouldn't be avoided just because it's uncomfortable.
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows John McCain losing to either Democrat—Barack Obama beats him by 12 points while Hillary Clinton wins by half that margin. According to the survey, McCain's age is significantly more troubling to voters than either Obama's race or Clinton's gender.
Here's the good news: Significant drops in heart disease and strokes, two leading causes of death among Americans, have contributed to the highest life expectancy in the country's history, which rose to 77.9 years in the latest report released by the National Center for Health Statistics.
Here the president's Freudian slip is caught on tape in all its awkwardness. Also, it turns out Bush had to be prodded by Condoleezza Rice and wife Laura into making the state dinner a "white tie" affair. Apparently the idea that dinner with the queen should be a formal occasion escaped the man.
The baby boomers who were once suspicious of anyone over 30 are now skeptical of Barack Obama because he's under 50.
The popular social networking site MySpace.com was once thought of as the frivolous province of teenagers and indie music geeks. But new research data shows a majority of U.S.-based MySpace visitors are, in fact, over 35 years old.

After an incredible weekend at The Barclays, the second event of the FedEx Cup playoffs kicks off later this week with some high standards to live up to.
It's a good thing the Deutsche Bank Championship typically delivers high drama and proven champions.
The event, which gets underway Friday and ends on Labor Day, features the top golfers remaining in the FedEx Cup—or at least we hope it will. The status of Tiger Woods remains up in the air as he deals with back problems that flared up last week at Liberty National.
If Woods is able to play, he'll be paired alongside Barclays winner Adam Scott and longtime rival Phil Mickelson in a dream grouping that will undoubtedly dominate the headlines over the first two days at TPC Boston.
Those three golfers are atop the FedEx Cup standings and are being chased by standouts such as Matt Kuchar, Justin Rose and Brandt Snedeker, another solid grouping this week.
At the bottom of the standings, 30 more golfers will see their hopes for a $10 million payday come to an end. Only the top 70 will advance to the BMW Championship in two weeks.
A number of big names, including Ernie Els and Ian Poulter, are in significant danger of being sent home after this week.
Indeed, when the Deutsche Bank tees off Friday, it will be with significant intrigue, drama and much on the line from the top to the bottom of this deep and talented field.
Get yourself ready for the second test of the PGA Tour playoffs. We'll break down whom to follow, when to watch, what to expect and where some surprises might be lurking at TPC Boston during this holiday weekend.

OCCASIONALLY one encounters an extremely rare lesion such as adenocystic carcinoma of the breast. It is the purpose of this paper to review the pertinent medical literature and to present the current opinions concerning the treatment of this disease.
Several pseudonyms have been used to describe this interesting lesion. The oldest term, designated by Billroth1 in 1859, was cylindroma. Stein and Geschickter2 called this tumor adenocystic basal-cell carcinoma. Bauer and Fox3 are credited with the descriptive name of adenomyoepithelioma. Foote and Frazell4 preferred the term adenocystic carcinoma, and Smout and French5 suggested pseudoadenomatous basal cell carcinoma.Based on the judgment of Mitchell Heineman, MD,6 I have elected to title this paper "Adenocystic Carcinoma of the Breast."
Review of Literature
The literature is replete with exhaustive studies and reports concerning adenocystic carcinoma in areas other than breast origin.3-5,7-10 References to this condition existing

Weapons: Kenny Florian has them, and Takanori Gomi has rarely seen them. Gomi's last cage occupation was in his crushing loss to B.J. Penn at a 2003 Rumble on the Rock event; since then, he's grown accustomed to being surrounded by pliable ring ropes that can help... Read More

Watching Takanori Gomi in his first career Octagon appearance Wednesday will not necessarily put new fans on a path to understanding Gomi's abilities. For the middle part of the last decade, Gomi was Japan's lightweight ace, with blitzkrieg performances against fighters both reputable (Tatsuya Kawajiri) and not (Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett). It was all part of the very Japanese trait of mixing challenges with showcase-type performances, and it worked well: Gomi drew business, and he had a four-plus year stretch with only two defeats in nineteen fights. In MMA, that's about perfect.
The UFC will be a new arena for Gomi, not only because of Kenny Florian's potential...

Freezer paper is widely available at most grocery stores.
Everyday freezer paper is great for transferring patterns when quilting or sewing. Freezer paper's waxy shiny side, when ironed to paper, cardboard, or fabric will adhere temporarily, making it possible to transfer shapes accurately and easily. Just be careful not to touch the shiny side of the paper with your iron, or you'll have a waxy mess on your iron surface! Let's delve into how to use freezer paper.
Because of its width and length, freezer paper is great for tracing patterns for clothing construction and crafts (Reynolds freezer paper is 33 feet long!). Plus, if you end up needing a wider piece than what you have, simply iron the shiny side of one length of paper to the dull side of another length, overlapping the edges about 1 1/2' for stability. Because freezer paper will also stick to fabric when ironed, it makes it easy to accurately cut shapes and pieces.
For sewing and crafts, use freezer paper to make pattern templates so that your original patterns stay intact. This trick is especially helpful when you're sewing only one size from a pattern which contains several sizes all on the same piece of tissue. With a freezer paper template a smaller size can be made while leaving the original unharmed for later use.
Freezer paper is also commonly used by quilters to make templates for appliqué. Appliqué templates are best when created from double layers of freezer paper. To create your template, first you'll trace your pattern onto a piece of freezer paper. Cut around the shape leaving about 3/8" on all sides. Then iron your freezer paper cut-out to another piece of freezer paper (iron the shiny side of the first piece to the dull side of the second piece). After that, cut out the double layer of freezer paper on the drawn lines resulting in a sturdy perfect template. Now iron the freezer paper template on your project fabric; press the fabric around the edges of the template using spray starch and an iron to create a perfect shape. Remove the freezer paper before hand or machine stitching the appliqué piece to the background fabric; freezer paper templates will simply peel off of the fabric.
Appliqué block created using freezer paper templates.
Freezer paper can also be used to create labels for quilts. Simply cut a piece of freezer paper and a piece of muslin to measure 8 1/2" x 11". Fuse the freezer paper to the wrong side of the muslin. Then run the muslin through a home ink-jet printer to print a label. Simply use an iron to set the ink after the label has printed, remove the freezer paper, finish the edges of the muslin as desired, and stitch to the back of your quilt.
Have you used freezer paper in your quilting or sewing?

SHEPHERDTOWN - Up-and-coming blues artist Jarekus Singleton will be performing songs from his new album "Refuse to Lose" at the Shepherdstown Opera House on Friday at 8 p.m.
Born and raised in Clinton, Mississippi, Singleton has been playing guitar since he was 9 years old, when his Uncle Tony taught him how to play bass at his grandfather's church in Jackson, Mississippi.
"I grew up listening to those guys," Singleton said. "I kinda play similar to how my granddaddy played because I heard him so much."

Up-and-coming blues artist Jarekus Singleton will perform at 8 p.m. at the Shepherdstown Opera House on Friday.
Even though he's dabbled with various instruments such as the electric guitar and drums, bass is where his heart will always be.
Something Singleton hopes to accomplish with his music is to push the blues genre forward and teach as many people as he can about the history of the blues.
"Every genre of music, the foundation of it is the blues," he said. "You can never give it enough love."
Being from Mississippi and knowing that his ancestors spread the blues, he sort of feels like it's part of his responsibility to do the same. In order to keep inspiration within reach, Singleton stays eager to get his day on the roll and learn new things, as well as learning the stories of how other musicians made it to where they are.
Although he was originally going to make basketball his career, playing two seasons at Southern Mississippi Univeristy, he suffered an ankle injury in his late teens that changed his plans a bit.
"God has his plans and we have ours," he said. "But fortunately, he had a better plan for me than I did, and I'm excited about it. It needed to happen for me to move forward musically."
Those who come to the Shepherstown Opera House can expect to hear some of his old songs as well as song of his newer ones. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door and can be purchased at www.operahouselive.com.
Singleton's music can be purchased on iTunes and Amazon. To learn more about Singleton and his music, visit www.jarekus.com or www.facebook.com/TheJarekusSingletonBand.

Volunteers create new HIV/AIDS prevention message
12 January 2005
Some 80 volunteers in Canada, India and South Africa have created a ground-breaking "behaviour changing" programme, "The Three Amigos," to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
The Three Amigos is a series of 20 short animated public service announcements (PSAs) designed to encourage the use of condoms to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS throughout the world. It is available in 41 languages.
The innovative tool was strongly supported by Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who has called the PSAs "a powerful communicating tool", has written an open letter to broadcasters around the world which he calls "an impassioned plea" to "use these PSAs. They cannot be played enough", he said.

Britney Spears is on the offense in her ongoing custody battle with the Fed-Ex, and is now seeking the help of professionals -- not the mental kind -- but detectives. It seems the popwreck wants to prove that she isn't the only one in need of a monitor while with the kidlets.
TMZ has learned that Brit has hired a team of investigators who are trying to collect info, and they've allegedly got photos and video showing Kevin breaking the law. A source tells TMZ that during their marriage, Spears witnessed K-Fed smoking dope and drinking beer while around the children. Brit's camp hopes this might turn the tables in a custody battle that has, until this point, been completely one-sided against the Weaved One.
Spears has incurred the wrath of the court for her frightening driving, questionable drug tests and for not being available by phone -- while Kev's been looking like the responsible father.
A similar story appears on People.com.

The Wings of Eagles (1957)
The inimitable combination of John Wayne and John Ford team up once again for 1957's The Wings of Eagles. The story of Frank "Spig" Wead, a pioneer of Naval avation who overcame many hardships and challenges to become a Hollywood screenwriter and Navy strategist...
The movie starts early in the dawn of aviation and in Wead's career. I'm not sure what Ford was thinking in these early scenes, though. They almost put me right off this entire movie, which would have been a disaster. The mad-cap wacky humor of Wead taking Army pilot Shorty up for a ride, ultimately crashing into the Admiral's swimming pool... followed directly (and I mean directly) by a rather crushing scene of Wead and his wife Min (Maureen O'Hara) losing their child suddenly to illness. I couldn't believe that Ford would go from one extreme to the other so abruptly. It didn't seem right at all.
Then things really take a strange and tragic turn, as he suffers a fall in his home, and breaks his neck, effectively paralyzing him with little hope of recovery. Through the perseverance of his friends and doctors, most notably "Jughead" (Dan Dailey), Spig finally gets back on his feet, and falls into a screenwriting gig or two or three, writing a few war movies with John Dodge (Ward Bond) in a strange crossover experience I couldn't help but marvel at.
There is a small problem, too, with how the timeline progresses. Its not really clear at any given moment when we are supposed to be. From one scene to the next, you realize that OH! this is some further point in the future, like years down the road.... It's a bit confusing at times.
When WWII arrives, he's called upon due to his experience and ingenuity, and comes up with the idea of "Jeep Carriers", essentially floating carrier supply ships designed to provide resupply of aircraft and other bits....
But, his achievements are overshadowed in this film (I thought) by his failures on the home front. According to this movie, he barely saw his children, and his marriage to the Navy far outweighed his marriage to Min. I was hoping for maybe a bit more of this, but the film ends with Spig being transferred back to the world, I guess that's all anyone thought to do.
It probably goes without saying that John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara delivered as always. Wayne especially surprised me in being able to pull off a slightly less than stereotypical role for him. He actually showed some depth of character and was able to portray the difficulties and stubbornness of a man trying to overcome a disability.
And I also learned that alcohol can cure paralysis. There should be more research into this subject. Should I become paralyzed, I'd like to volunteer. And the "I'm gonna move that toe" business gets a little played out... but it works.
The Wings of Eagles begins on shaky footing, but eventually gels into a solid biopic of a Navy legend.... with a few caveats of course. I have to give it a 3.8/5. Because of the strange gear changing that occurs at the beginning, and the rather abrupt ending...
It's unfortunate that this trailer elects to illustrate mainly the comic elements of the film, which isn't what it was about at all. But I guess that's how you get them in the door.

Golden Wings, Salt Spray- Ford's Tribute to A Naval Aviator,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wings of Eagles [VHS] (VHS Tape)This is a factual naval aviation story, intermixed with Army Air Corps rivalry and combat scenes. It provides a chronological view of one naval family- their love and adversity, including Navy and Army aviators supported by their loyal maintenance personnel who helped in the advancement of U.S. military aviation during 1920s to 1940s. Add, of course, a mixture of competition provided by the navy wives and their only rival- the United States Navy. Released 22 February 1957, The Wings of Eagles was considered an adult story, wrought with the thrills, laughter, and family hardships all to well experienced by the real heroes of this story- the pioneer naval aviation wives (there is still no "Hall of Fame" dedicated to these gallant ladies at the National Museum of Naval Aviation, NAS Pensacola, FL).
Ms. Maureen O'Hara who acted the gallant part of Mrs. Minnie (Bryant) Wead was well received by the "naval aviation wives of gold", and was nominated at a Naval Aviation Cadet Recruiting... Read more

John D. Page (usa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Wings of Eagles (DVD)john ford and john wayne,friends,partners,they had a father/son relationship that lasted till ford died.they also had a friend named frank "spig" wead,a navy pilot(when there were none)and later top screenwriter(her wrote ford's and wayne's they were expendable)and ford and wayne wanted to tell his story.
the movie starts like acomedy as "spig"tries his best to get the world to notice that the navy has some good pilots and should let them fly. as frank moves up in the ranks his wife right beside him(maureen o'hara never anymore beautiful than here)they have kids and life looks good.
one night hearing something(a child cring i think) frank runs down the steps of his house and falls,breaking his back and neck.this is where wayne really shows what he's got.the scene where he learns he must leave the navy and will never walk very much anymore are just stunning. the look on waynes face when he is told tears your heart out,we see this big tall man and can see the...

The Wings of Eagles,
This review is from: The Wings of Eagles (DVD)The Wings of Eagles
Not your typical John Wayne war picture it shows the amazing chemistry of Maureen O'Hara and John Wayne it does seem that these two could never go wrong. This movie is no exception. It starts as John Wayne is learning to fly the first planes in the navy in a hilarious barn busting scene. At times it has a very Gomer Pyle feel to it at other times it has a Last Days of Patton feel.
The Transfer is descent for its age doesn't seem to have been given anything special, though that's not surprised when you think of John Wayne this isn't the first movie to come to mind, the audio isn't in 5.1 but it's not a movie that lends itself to needing it. As most of the movies of the 1950's it has that parent trap look too it, which to me ads to the charm of the movie. Of course let's not forget John Ford Directed it.
In conclusion for 10 bucks it's a great DVD to own. For John Wayne fans its must to complete there collection this comes from... Read more

One Response to The Wings of Eagles (1957)
I have not seen this movie since I was a kid. Amazingly, I can still remember "I'm gonna move that toe". And yet I can't remember my wife's name. Does anyone think this is strange? My excuse is that it's John Wayne.
I need to rewatch it to see if anything else was said in the movie.

Upon learning of Forsythe's death Friday, Heather Locklear, who appeared on Dynasty, reflected on her costar's memory. "John was a gentleman in every sense of the word," she said in a statement. "He was a gifted actor who knew the true meaning of being gracious and kind. He will be missed."
His Charlie's Angels costar Kate Jackson told PEOPLE Friday that she used to leave notes around the set for Forsythe. "I made an effort never to see him when he came in to [record] his voiceover, but I left messages for him," she said. "And he would leave me a note saying, 'Hi Sabrina, it's Charlie. You'll never catch me!'"
After quitting the popular TV show, Jackson said she saw Forsythe often. "He had a grace about him that was incredibly awesome," she said. "John had a great sense of humor, and he was wonderful."
Dynasty costar Joan Collins called her former costar the "last of the true gentleman of the acting profession," in a statement. "I enjoyed my nine years of feuding, fussing and fighting as the Carringtons and I was so glad to have had the chance to reunite with him a few years ago in the Dynasty reunion. He will be greatly missed."
"He was a good friend to Aaron and me, and despite his matinee star good looks was as humble and down to earth as could be," said Candy Spelling, whose husband Aaron produced Dynasty and Charlie's Angels. "We were so happy when he agreed to be the voice of Charlie, and he always laughed about having to take a back seat to Farrah's hair. He was just such a lovely man, and the years we were able to work with him on Dynasty were a second gift. He also loved his horses and served on the board of Hollywood Park with Aaron. Every minute we spent with John was pure joy."

Media Release: Bird Club brightens up Park hide
Date: 2012-05-08
At the Bird Club's AGM meeting on 2 May, the chairperson, Jerry Rose-Innes, and secretary, Judy Caryer, handed over two beautifully framed bird identification posters to the Park Manager, Peter Burdett.
The posters entitled Waterbirds of Southern Africa and Birds Endemic to Southern Africa are part of the Newman's series and should prove of great benefit to visitors who require a little help with their identification of bird species.
Burdett thanked local birders for their generous donation and contribution to developing the Camdeboo National Park as a destination of choice.
Khwalimanzi Hide is situated in the Game Viewing Area of the park on the eastern shore of the Nqweba Dam. It is easily reached through the entrance gate at the park office off the N9 to Middleburg, by following the tourist route through the Broederstroom just past the entrance to the Nqweba campsite.
The hide gives visitors a place to rest and enjoy both sightings of birds and wildlife and the tranquillity of the Park.

INDIA is set to raise allegations of racism on Celebrity Big Brother with the UK government, as the number of complaints about the show rose above 16,000.
The treatment of Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty has been reported by newspapers and television news bulletins across the sub-continent, leading the Indian government to step into the row.
The move will add to the growing pressure on Channel 4 bosses to halt alleged racism on the programme.
Anand Sharma, India's junior minister for external affairs, said in New Delhi today: "We are awaiting a report about the show. The government will take appropriate measures once it gets to know the full details.
"Racism has no place in civilised society."
However, Downing Street sought to avoid being drawn into the controversy as the Prime Minister's official spokesman said Tony Blair had not seen the programme.
"His position on racism is well-known, the track record of the government is well-known," he said.
"Racism of any kind is wrong, but what I will not do is comment on his behalf on a programme that he has not seen."
Media watchdog Ofcom said today the number of complaints had risen to 14,500. A further 2000 viewers have contacted Channel 4 to voice their dismay.
Meanwhile, Labour MP and former minister for Europe Keith Vaz called on the broadcaster to take "effective action" against "unacceptable" racist language allegedly used against 31-year-old Shetty.
He said: "The language that is being used, the way in which it is being used, the things that are being said, are just not acceptable in this day and age.
"For a broadcaster to allow these comments to go out unchecked . . . I know there are some bleeps here and there and goodness knows what they are saying that has been bleeped out."
Mr Vaz has tabled an Early Day Motion condemning the way that Shetty has been treated on the programme.
Complaints began to flood in after Jade Goody, her mother Jackiey Budden and boyfriend Jack Tweed, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara allegedly began bullying the Indian actress.
In one outburst, Lloyd asked Shetty: "Do you get stubble?"
In another, Budden, who constantly called her "the Indian", asked: "Do you live in a house or a shack?"
Charles Dunstone, chief executive of Carphone Warehouse, has said he is reviewing the firm's 3 million annual sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother in the light of alleged racism in the house. He said: "We are talking to Channel 4. The sponsorship is constantly under review. Clearly, we are against racism."
Mr Dunstone's comments are the latest blow for the show, which has already seen three celebrities walk out and suffered disappointing viewing figures.
Bookmaker William Hill has cut the odds of Celebrity Big Brother not lasting its scheduled run from 20/1 to 5/2 as pressure builds on the programme.
Big Brother rules state that anyone guilty of racist abuse in the house can be evicted.
Tensions continued to run high in the house yesterday, with Goody branding Shetty "pathetic, fake and a liar" in a row over stock cubes.

Pioneering rap group OutKast returned to the stage last Friday at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival after a decade of silence.Hip-hop fans rejoiced.
Well, some fans rejoiced. Others sat on their hands.
The crowd at Coachella was noticeably lethargic and disinterested during the 90-minute performance. Guess they didn't know a good thing when they saw it.
The Keep Up looks at six of OutKast's most influential songs and the impact they've had on not just rap, but the entire music industry.
Trust us, they're the reason why that crowd should have been shaking like a Polaroid picture.

Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy is an accepted treatment for benign and malignant diseases of the pancreas. Some element of delayed gastric emptying affects as many as 46% of patients.1,2 Although usually transient, delayed gastric emptying may extend length of hospital stay and persist for several weeks. In addition to pancreatic anastomotic leaks,3 reduced blood flow and compromised innervation to the antral-pyloric pump mechanism have been implicated as causes.4- 6
Operative view of the anterior side of the stomach (thick black arrow), the fully preserved gastrohepatic ligament (thin black arrow), and the duodenal transection (thin white arrow). The thick white arrow indicates the pylorus.
Operative view of the posterior side of the distal lesser curvature of the stomach retracted anteriorly, preserved gastroduodenal artery (small white arrows), common bile duct (large white arrow), and superior mesenteric vein (black arrow).
Preservation of the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) as viewed from the anterior surface of the pancreas. Dissection proceeds distal to the origin of the right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA), which is preserved. The superior pancreaticoduodenal artery (SPDA) is ligated and divided at its origin. The branches to the duodenum from the GDA are carefully preserved (inset).
The common bile duct and portal vein are approached from the right, behind the duodenum (arrow), thus preserving all neurovascular tissue along the lesser curvature of the stomach.

Mark Wahlberg is to Cary Grant what the kazoo is to the violin.

|The Twilight Saga: New Moon
The true goal of this film is to instill in teenage girls the desire to lose their virginity as soon as possible.
|12/11/2009 - 20:32
|The Virgin Suicides
Sofia Coppola wrote and directed this film, which means twice the failure.
|05/12/1999 - 04:12
|The Whole Ten Yards
Aside from maybe the Ebola or trying to correct the grammar in George W. Bush's first draft speechwriting efforts, I can think of nothing worse than watching Bruce Willis overact, unless that includes watching Matthew Perry overact on the same screen.
|04/09/2004 - 02:49
|The World is Not Enough
As we all know, Bond is only as good as the guy who's about to kill him, and these days, Bond is just slightly better than a cub scout having a temper tantrum.
|11/19/1999 - 23:01
|The Young Posisoner's Handbook
For at least an hour-and-a-half of this wretched film, I could have sworn my head was as heavy as a wrecking ball.
|02/23/1995 - 22:36
This film is a "Wes Craven Presents" thing. You know, the type of film they want you to believe is by another filmmaker who's better than the one actually directing it.
|11/27/2002 - 02:54
The only real lesson in this film is "stay away from gypsies". Apparently, gypsies are really vindictive and if you piss them off they'll put a hex on you and screw you good.
|10/25/1996 - 02:46
If you went to Vegas three years ago and had to lay money down on whether in three years a movie based on a 1960s puppet show called "Thunderbirds" was going to get made or whether George W. Bush was going to announce a manned mission to the sun, I guarantee you that your money would have been on the manned mission to the sun regardless of whether you think George Bush is an idiot or a genius.
|09/15/1970 - 02:50
|Time Code
Frankly, this is the kind of idea high school teachers whack their students on the head with a ruler for. It's stupid. It's annoying.
|04/28/2000 - 01:52
This is a movie that's supposed to be interesting, fast-paced and suspenseful. It's boring, confusing and stupid.
|11/26/2003 - 01:47
|Tomb Raider
If you're looking for plot holes, try not to break your neck falling into the ones in "Tomb Raider."
|06/15/2001 - 01:33
Anyone requiring evidence that video games will eventually destroy cinema need go no further than a theater showing "Torque." The only thing missing from this movie was a joystick.
|01/16/2004 - 01:25
|Treasure Planet
Having sampled both "Treasure Planet" the movie and "Treasure Planet" the McDonald's Happy Meal, I'm electing to review the Happy Meal.
|11/27/2002 - 00:50
|Trees Lounge
"Trees Lounge" is deadly dull, uninspiring, slowly paced and has a plotthat can be simply described as "man discovers something about himself."
|10/11/1996 - 20:52
Take a look at the children of the dentist during the interview. They're wearing rigid smiles on their faces that scream "help me" so loud you want to call Social Services.
|11/08/1997 - 20:51
|Trial and Error
As Jonathan Lynn's directorial future spirals down the great caree rtoilet, he makes a pathetic, last-ditch attempt to jump on his own negligible coattails.
|05/30/1997 - 20:50
|Twin Dragons
Nobody on this planet gave Jean-Claude Van Damme a break for making "Double Impact," so I don't know why Jackie Chan should get some special dispensation for this horrible film.
|04/09/1992 - 20:19
All the people in this film are such caricatures that dropping a bomb on the town of Superior, Arizona would have had all the emotional resonance of a Jimmy Swaggart confessional.
|10/03/1997 - 18:52
Suffice it to say that the film's most interesting thing is a skateboarding bulldog. Each time the thing shows up on screen it's like a rat running through the theater. Suddenly, the movie just doesn't matter and all you want to know is where the rat went and when it's coming back.

Gangsta of love Lyrics[Verse 1: Yealwolf]
Would the real slim shady please stand up
And tell these ma'fuckers why I got signed
Cause I'm on the verge of slapping one of these white boys
Out here tryna imitate my grind
And if you finna feel it when I say that
Fuck you, say something back
What I gotta lose, I'm already the underdog
Why wouldn't I give you the opportunity to rap
Fuck boy, I'm harder than ya momma's fuck toy
And she's still bitching
I'm sicker than a chicken sitting in shit
Sticking itself with a syringe in a Japanese kitchen, get some
I got the kinky bitch, get crumbs
Yeah here the Shady clique come
They say I'm a dick head
Well it fits why
Cause ma'fuckers pussy ass came up til she gets numb
Any of many styles that I pick from
Fuck it just give me kick drums
Cause Yelawolf ain't a rapper
I'm a cataclysmic culturally offensive don't give a shit bum
So put ya money on a 'Bama boy
20 West of Atlanta boy
You wanna ride in my lane prepare for the 18 wheeler
All the girls I meet
Are falling down them stairs
Said gettin themselves together
They gettin themselves together
(That's why they call me)
Gangsta of Love
Yelawolf and I
On top don't wonder why
Cause I rock and roll
Stop drop and roll
That's why they call me
(Gangsta of love)
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
Cause I rock and roll
Stop drop and roll
That's why they call me
[Verse 2: Yealwolf]
Hold up, my God
Let me pull the chevrolet out the garage

You might get a hicky from Nicki Minaj
Fuck em all with a sandpaper dick
I dare anybody to come match to this
You couldn't hold a flame to my name bitch
I wouldn't even let you hold a bic to my cancerous stick?
I'm treating rappers like loose change
The shoe string belts that I lost in the cracks of my couch
Like I didn't even know I had that until?
Oh you want some of the south shit?
Well let me show you what the south is
You into sucking dick
Well I'm into getting rich

Put your money where your mouth is
[Verse 3: Yealwolf]
I roll out in a t-top two seater
Looking like an american missle seeker
Got back pack packs in my dungerees
Yeah I'm a light a fuse under the disbeliever
Say you don't give a shit good
Cause I don't give two shits neither
You ready let it go, I'm already at your funeral
Walking with a rose like Wiz Khalifa

Whatever it is girl you know I'm gonna vibe
But you know that's a fib yeah, you know that's a lie
What if I buy you drive through popeyes?
Do you want it grilled or do you want it fried?
I'm doing this like I knew I would
And you did too, so you knew you did
If I never got a co-sign I'll be at your throat
And it don't matter who I'm with
Reppin' that area code 256
White trash girls wink with blue eyelids
Because they know Yelawolf can't be fucked with
But it don't take an asshole to see that shit

Review Quotes
Nicholas Lezard | The Guardian
"The kind of dictionary you lose yourself in the moment you open it up. . . . You look up 'Isogloss' and get distracted by the fact, on the facing page, that Etruscan, Mohenjo-Daro and Japanese are isolated languages. Then you suddenly notice an entry for 'felicity conditions,' find out what the hell that is before you go mad, then forget what you were looking for in the first place, but who cares? You can keep going for hours."

We all know what the usual Hollywood sword-and-sandal movie involves: chromed armor, valiant soldiers, imperial glory and everyone looking like a titled British actor.
Well, the gory and grimy "Centurion" is not the usual Hollywood sword-and-sandal movie.
To begin with, it's set in Rome's northernmost outpost — Britannia — in the early years of the second century A.D.
The armor is battered. So are the soldiers.
And glory is nowhere to be found.
The soldiers still sound British — or Irish — but then, this is a U.K. production from Neil Marshall, the filmmaker who hit with that spelunking spooker "The Descent."
And what he's put on-screen here is raw enough to make even "Gladiator" look like "Spartacus."
Ratings note: The film contains graphic gore, violence and strong language.
Stephen Whitty's review: TWO STARS
That's not a bad thing.
Rome may have been lovely for the wealthy, but for soldiers off fighting the barbarians, life was filthy and fierce. And it's refreshing, too, to see a classical epic filmed as if it were a B-movie Western. Which, in a way, "Centurion" is.
Our hero's entire outpost has been wiped out by unfriendly natives. The cavalry that rescued him has been massacred as well. Now all he can do is try to escape — even as his enemies silently track him.
If you could bring back Sam Peckinpah and Warren Oates to make it, I'd see that oater right now.
Of course, in this case, the "cowboys" are centurions, and the painted "savages" aren't Native Americans, but the Picts, an ancient English people. But otherwise, the story remains the same.
It's the other ways that Marshall has modernized it that feel wrong.
Like an almost adolescent-boy glee in gore. (If you like closeups of arrows going into eye sockets, this is the movie for you). And jittery editing, which reduces hand-to-hand combat to a blurry whirl.
And while the movie is politically modern, too — the Romans are on a purely politically-driven mission — that also muddies the waters. We're meant to root for the centurion's escape, but his army is just as brutal as the people they're fighting — and the Picts, who didn't look for this war, are merely defending their land.
It's difficult to keep up the suspense when, by most moral yardsticks, these fleeing Romans deserve to be caught.
A sharper script, or more distinctive characters would have helped. But Dominic West's Roman general is just one more manly-man-among-men and Michael Fassbender's centurion a blank slate (albeit a muddy one). Too many scenes are merely guys in furs killing guys in armor.
Visually, the film does take you into a different world. The shots of these misty, mystical forests are truly striking, and at least one character — Olga Kurylenko at Etain, a Pict tracker — is certainly memorable. And it's nice to see some of the pretentious polish scrubbed from the noble Romans and their Empire.
It's just that, a half-hour in, I was rooting for the barbarians.

Featured Golf News
Green Makes Remarkable Comeback
Ken Green was back in action over the weekend in the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, a 54-hole Champions Tour two-man, best-ball competition at The Westin Savannah Harbor Resort and Spa in Savannah, Ga.
Green, paired with his good friend Mike Reid, had a rocky start on Friday with back-to-back bogeys, but then acquitted himself well. With rounds of 67, 66, 71, he and Reid finished at 12-under 204, 16 shots behind winners Mark O'Meara and Nick Price.
Green became the first golfer with a prosthetic leg to ever to compete in a tour event. More importantly, his participation helped give Green some solace after a year that's been very painful - emotionally and physically.
Last June, while driving to a tournament on the Champions Tour, Green's RV veered off the road in Mississippi. The accident killed his brother Bill, his longtime girlfriend Jeannie Hodgin, and beloved pet dog Nip, and left him with injuries so severe that he decided to have the lower part of his leg amputated in the off-chance that he could resume playing competitive golf. (He had the names of the deceased on the left side of the golf shoe on his prostethic leg, and on the right had written "Shelley," for his sister Shelley White, who caddied for him this week.) Making matters much worse, his 21-year-old son Hunter was found dead in his SMU dorm room in January after an accidental overdose of alcohol and prescription drugs.
So it was with a bit of trepidation that Green stepped on to the first tee in Savannah Friday. "I was petrified," Green said after his first round. "I was scared that I was going to embarrass golf and myself."
After shaking off the cobwebs through eight holes, his game gradually improved. When another drive went left on the ninth, Green hit a 6-iron through the wind from a tough lie. The ball landed softly on the green, 15 feet from the hole. "I was petrified. I was scared that I was going to embarrass golf and myself. There was too much anxiety," Green said of the first eight holes. "I needed one shot to get me from an anxiety level of 10 down to 7, which I could work with. That was the shot I needed."
Green received lots of encouragement from his playing partners, who just happened to end up winning the tournament (it would be O'Meara's first victory on the Champions Tour).
"To be honest, and he'll probably admit it, he was a little apprehensive the front nine," Price said. "First four or five holes, I think he felt a little nervous and certainly looked like it. But we were pulling hard for him. To see the way he played the back nine - he was probably two or three under on his own ball with the exception of No. 13, which he bogeyed. He hit some beautiful iron shots, so it's fun to see - you know, our heart goes out to him, obviously. We're just happy to see him back out playing."
Green had a goal of making two birdies in his first round back, and he was able to do that, generating a loud response from the gallery each time. "That was something," Green said of the cheers that erupted over his birdie putts at the 11th hole and 15th.
Green said on Friday that he hopes his playing in professional golf tournaments will serve as inspiration for the physically challenged and those who've endured serious hardships. "I haven't been known for inspiring people throughout my career," he said. "But I've got a chance to do something good for people, something important in golf, and for people who are disabled, and people who have had accidents."
Green isn't done. He's thinking about playing in next week's Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic at the Tom Fazio-designed Fallen Oak, and also wants to play the 54-hole Dick's Sporting Goods Classic in Endicott, N.Y.
At the end of his round Sunday, Green and his partner Reid sat down with reporters and discussed their tournament.
MODERATOR: Well, Ken and Mike, appreciate you coming in. I know some people would like to ask you some questions. Ken, maybe you can get us started, just kind of sum up the three days and just how you feel after coming back after the layoff.
KEN GREEN: Yeah, if I start talking about it, I'm probably going to end up bawling, so I'm trying to say the right things without losing it. But I don't know if I could possibly express what this has done for me personally in terms of getting hope again for -- and I hate to say this, but getting hope for life. You know, obviously there's tons in life besides golf, but golf is what I am using to try to push me forward without losing it. And you know, for Mike to give this week for me was something I'll never ever forget. You know, he's playing so well, and you know, if he had, you know, another player that wasn't, quote, in the midst of trying to regroup, you know, that's just something that's wonderful. So playing again is so exciting, and now I've just gotta hopefully be able to work on these changes and come back and hope that next time I come back that Mike will only have to give me 3 and 3 instead of 7 and 7.
MODERATOR: Mike.
MIKE REID: It was an honor to be partnered with Ken this week, and he made a lot of progress this week I thought. I was very impressed with how efficiently he could get the club on the ball. But I think I underestimated maybe how much he loves the game because for him to be here and from my perspective seeing not only the awkwardness, but the pain he had to deal with this week, it's just a measure of how much he loves the game. And I think he inspired all of us, but I had the best seat in the house, and you know, he was not a load, believe me. I mean he was hitting a lot of good shots, great short game. I was really impressed. Have you been working on that shot?
MODERATOR: No. No. I'm winging it, no doubt.
MIKE REID: You know, golf is made up at this level, I think there are a thousand thoughts and feels you have, and I just can't imagine what it would be like just to try to invent the swing on every hole. Maybe that's what you guys do every time you play (laughs), but you know, when you make a living at this game, you sort of like to think that you have an idea where the ball's going to go. And you know, this thought, this feel last week and this works on that and the left-to-right wind and this is the shift I make and the stuff I do, but to have all of that erased, which in effect is what has to have happened and to reinvent everything on the fly and get out there and do what he did this week is, you know, I just think it's not going to register as a win in the tournament, but it's a win. This is, you know, it was just a great honor.
MODERATOR: If you have a question, just raise your hand. We have mics here. We're doing a transcript on this.
Q. How much pain were you in in terms that we could understand?
KEN GREEN: You know, I don't want to sit there and -- you know, I mean there was -- you know, there was some rough stretches, and I can honestly tell you it's a feeling that I wouldn't want to give to even my ex-wife. It's just -- it's a bizarre pain. It just -- it comes and it whacks you and it hits and then you're, whew -- but you know, that's my life right now, and you know, for another year or so, that's probably what it's going to be. You know, we've done everything we can to try to settle the nerves down, but there's not a whole lot left unless you just want to stay on morphine, so that's just the way it is.
Q. So it's just a matter of time?
KEN GREEN: That's what I've been told, it's probably going to take -- the nerves will settle down. When you put -- obviously day after day what I've done puts a lot of stress on it and it just -- it acts up, you know. And that's -- it sucks. I mean there's just no other way around it.
Q. I'm sure you guys are looking forward to the day when you're brought into the media center for winning the tournament, which will be maybe next year?
KEN GREEN: Well, I mean I -- my goal is to get a hell of a lot better, and you know, I would never -- you know, it's an awkward situation because I don't -- you know, we'll see how I'm doing. I don't want to -- this time around I'm honored that Mike would do it, but I would never do it again unless I can really play. I won't do that to anyone.
MIKE REID: Yeah, but you're not far off.
KEN GREEN: No, you know, I think you're right. I gotta be able to go out there on a daily basis and do a little. I can't hit a whole lot, but I literally have done nothing, you know, and it was -- you know, when I was starting to try to do something, you know, the Hunter thing hit, and you know, that takes a lot of steam out of you, but I'm getting ready to get back to starting to go back out there, and you know, create some dreams and some lives.
Q. As your story has gotten out, have you heard from some really special people who have contacted you, from any walk of life?
KEN GREEN: Well, you know, some of the emails I've gotten are pretty emotional, and you know, they come out of nowhere. And you know, just different stories of what other people have gone through, and then they read mine, and it kind of gives them that boost of energy, that hope that, you know, you can fight through some of the tragedies that happen in life. You know, they happen, unfortunately, and I happen to be, you know, part of the -- you know, that small group that hits that unwilling bizarre stretch.
Q. Ken, I think I heard that you shot 1-under on your own ball Friday, first round back. I mean did you surprise yourself a little doing that, and how great did those nine holes feel?
KEN GREEN: Well, that nine holes felt really unbelievable that, you know, I actually almost hit really quality shots, just like the three guys I was playing with.
MIKE REID: Make sure you make note that I did outdrive O'Meara. (Laughs).
KEN GREEN: But it's -- you know, that's what, you know, it's those kind of shots that make you realize, hey, this dream is attainable. You know, if the nerve issue can settle down and I can go hit some balls and learn the new changes that Peter wants me to do, I can do it. You know, I have more desire and fight than I've had in, you know, 30 years. I want -- I can't tell you how desperately I want to do this, and I'm going to -- I'm just going to just -- I mean there's just no other way around it. I have got to fight this. There's something that tells me I have to do this. So I'm -- that's my goal.
Q. Sounds like there's much more at stake than playing good golf, though.
KEN GREEN: Well, for me, maybe it is, and maybe I'm putting too much on it, but you know, I love golf, and you know, I've done some stupid things in golf and we all -- well, Mike doesn't. I don't think he's ever done anything stupid. It's just a thought that I could, you know, kind of give something back that's obviously unusual. It's never happened before, and you know, within that circle or that avenue I'll have that possibility that I can do it. And you know, if it gives others hope and gives them a smile or encouragement, inspiration or whatever words you so desire, it's what's going to keep me going because otherwise, you know, right now I don't -- you know, I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have golf and try to focus in on golf. It just -- that's -- you know, I don't know if that's smart, but you know, because if you have -- at the end of the road -- I don't mind losing the battle at the end of the road if I've given it the good fight because that'll be as much of a win as being able to beat Mike one day heads up, so to speak.
Q. How much did you learn about your game this week? I mean if you'd have sat in here five days ago and said I'm going to finish 12-under and hit quality shots, how much of a mystery was going out there this week?
KEN GREEN: I mean I had no clue what was going to happen in terms of my game, and the emotion that went through me on Friday was -- I was astounded, you know, that it was just -- I was dry mouth all 18 holes. You know, and that usually only happens the last, you know, seven to eight holes when you're trying to win a golf tournament, you know, you start getting dry mouth, or at least I always have. And I had it for 18 holes. So that's the emotion that I was on was pretty unusual because, you know, obviously everything that's happened just, you know, doesn't -- you shake your head and say how -- you know, it's not really possible, but it did and it is.
Q. Ken, I want to clarify one thing.
KEN GREEN: Oh, I spoke something wrong then. Oh, boy.
Q. When you mentioned the nerves, I assume you're talking about the nerve endings at the end of your leg as opposed to the ones between your ears?
KEN GREEN: No. It's definitely the ones in the legs. I can honestly tell you the demons, they're gone. They were gone, right before the accident I had no issues. They haven't even thought about coming back. But man, the only thing I can think of is maybe their main residence is down there in my foot. (Laughs).
Q. Ken, you may have mentioned, but how has the ankle held up now?
KEN GREEN: You know, I mean, you know, it hurts. There's no other way around it. You know, the guys tape it hard, and you know, it makes a huge difference and it helps, but you know, that's just one of the issues of, you know, you gotta have the old time will heal theory. And that's also one of them, and you know, they want you to stay off of it, but when it's the only damn foot you got, it's pretty hard. But just time. That's all. It'll be okay.
Q. You have obviously different size shoes. What's the difference size-wise?
KEN GREEN: I did that because the other one was dragging too much. I couldn't get it through the shot, you know, so I asked the prosthetic to make a smaller one, and he thought it was a brilliant idea and I'm a genius. And it's worked. It's worked wonderful. You know, and I'll actually have another leg that's normal foot, so to speak, you know, when I'm not playing golf.
Q. You'll have a golf leg?
KEN GREEN: This is, quote, the golf leg and my bowling leg. Those are the two. Other than that, I'll wear the other leg, so if I'm going to a ballroom dance or something, I won't look so goofy.
Q. What size shoe do you have on your left?
KEN GREEN: It's a 10 and a 6.
Q. Do you have an ugly bowling shoe that matches?
KEN GREEN: I just wear that -- you guys have seen the dopey sandal thing that I have. I pretty much just wear that thing down. I think I got it at the ladies' department at Target or something. They don't make a whole lot of shoes down there that size foot.
Q. You know, we appreciate both of you coming in so much this week, and it really means a lot, and to Mike's point earlier about us amateurs reinventing our swing on every tee, given that you're operating from a different proficiency level, but all that you've had to relearn with Peter, is there hope for us amateurs that you can relearn some techniques? I mean obviously you're dealing with a much higher level.
KEN GREEN: You don't have a prayer. (Laughs).
Q. Fair enough.
KEN GREEN: No, and I don't mean it in a bad way, but you're either going to have the hand-eye coordination to play the game and go up where my improvement will go boom, boom, boom, boom, and you guys will go boops. That's just high life is in terms of different avenues. Could be intelligence, could be golf, could be art, anything of that nature.
MODERATOR: Any more questions? Thanks, Ken. Thank you, Mike.
