Location: Fushun lies in the east part of Liaoning Province, neighboring Jinglin Province in its east. It occupies an advantageous location, 200 kilometers (124 miles) from the Port of Yingkou and 400 kilometers (248 miles) from the Port of Dalian with expressway and railway linking between them. The capital city of Liaoning, Shenyang, is only 45 kilometers (28 miles) away.
History: Human settlers first came to this area more than seven thousand years ago. By the Han Dynasty (221BC-220AD), coal had been used in daily life or for manufacturing. At the same time, this area had been rather advanced in agriculture, handicraft industry and commerce. During the early Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Fushun involved in depression for near one and a half centuries. It was in 1783 that the new city was completed southwest of the old one. Gradually, economic rejuvenation made it a distributing center of goods in eastern Liaoning.
Physical Features: Fushun is located in the mountainous area in eastern Liaoning that belongs to the Longgang Mountains, an offshoot of the Changbai Mountains. Within the city, mountains run from northeast to southwest. The city proper lies in the alluvial plain formed by the Hunhe River which segments it into northern and southern parts.
Climatic Features: The city belongs to the temperate zone, enjoying a continental monsoon climate. Summer is warm and rainy, but winter is really cold. Relatively, spring and autumn are windy and short. Its annual average temperature is about 14C (57F).
When to Go: May to October is a fine period to visit this area, especially in summer and autumn.
Local Highlights: China Manchu Folk Custom Tourist Festival (generally in July of August)
Special Local Products: jet, Chinese mushroom, ginseng, deer antler, amber
Scenic Spots:
Hetuala City: Hetuala is Manchu language for Henggang, meaning flatheaded hummock. It can be divided into inner city and outer city respectively constructed in 1603 and 1605. It is the native residence of the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the city is reputed as the 'first city of Qing', an eyewitness of the history of Manchu.
Yongling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty: Located in Xinbin Man Autonomous County, the mausoleum buries six fathers of the Qing. It is the location where the grand ancestor worship ceremonies of the Qing were held. As the heritage left by ancestors of the Manchu, Yongling Mausoleum is of great research value.
|Admission Fees:
|Yongling Mausoleum: CNY 50
Hetuala City: CNY 60
|1. Yongling Mausoleum: Buses from Fushun Long Distance Bus Station to Xinbin all pass by the mausoleum.
2. Hetuala City: take buses from Fushun to Xinbin and then take minibus to the city.

Travel Tips:
Fushun has two bus stations, the north bus station lies in the Chengxi Road, Shuncheng District, and the south bus station is in the Dongyi Road, Xinfu District. Through the expressway, only a half hour's drive is needed to get to Shenyang. The south station offers buses to the emergence place of the Qing Dynasty, Xinbin. The whole journey will coast about three and a half hours.
The city is 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the Shenyang Taoxian International Airport. No direct airport buses operate from the airport to Fushun. Usually, visitors should take the airport bus and get off in the last stop, Ma Lu Wan, and then walk for twenty minutes or take a taxi to the Shenyang Railway Station. Every a few seconds, there are regular buses leaving for Fushun from a street aside.

A historian who is totally committed to the future - that's how Lisa Jardine describes herself. This is because she believes the two are inextricably linked, with history holding the answers to questions about the future.
"Having a clearer view of the way things have happened in the past allows us to make intellectual judgements about the future," she says. "Any event in recent history will have been influenced by that which came before."
And the fast pace with which the world changes results in people wanting to be connected with what went before, she says. This helps explain why history is now more popular than ever before, with best-selling books and popular programmes.
She hopes to use this connection as the new host of the BBC Radio 4 opinion column A Point of View, which is also available on the BBC News website.
"I want to use the moment, my week, the journalistic week as a springboard for some big ideas," she says. "I want to use the past and present to stimulate and challenge the listener and seduce them into thinking differently."
A historian, writer, critic and broadcaster, Ms Jardine is no stranger to new challenges. She has chaired the panel of Booker Prize judges, reviews regularly for numerous newspapers and magazines, and has been a presenter on BBC Radio 3's Night Waves, Radio 4's Start the Week and Channel 4's Powerhouse.
She is currently professor of Renaissance Studies at Queen Mary University of London, and an honorary fellow of King's College Cambridge.
"I was caught on a 1950s wave of opportunities for women," she says. "It has been rather like surfing, each time I think the wave has crested it just keeps going on."
She put her achievements down to a combination of ability, stamina, a sense of humour and a passion for communicating.
She says she is driven to explain things to people and the more difficult the subject, the more excited she gets.
And the interactivity that websites allow fuels her enthusiasm further.
"To get the reaction of people who e-mail in is completely wonderful," she says. "In terms of reaching people, it tops anything I have done before and it will help me with the slot. It is a real thrill for me."
A Point of View is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 2050 BST on Fridays, 0850 BST Sundays and available online via the BBC radio player or this page.

TE Delanie Walker, #46
San Francisco 49ers
Height: 6-1 1/8 Weight: 242 Speed: 4.54
Notes: Was selected in the sixth round of the 2006 NFL draft by the 49ers after a standout career at Central Missouri State. Has been a consistent contributor since he arrived, starting 36 of the 86 games in which he has played the past seven seasons and catching 104 passes for 1,129 yards and five touchdowns (10.9-yard average) with a career-best campaign of 29-331-0 in 2010 during Mike Singletary's final year as head coach. In July 2008, Walker signed a three-year, $6 million extension through 2012.
Positives: Very well-sculpted with thick musculature. Looks every bit the part — likes the weight room and it shows. Tough and fearless entering traffic. Strong on contact and can maintain balance after the catch and power through arm tackles. Highly competitive with the ball in his hands and does not go down easy. Strong red-zone target. Excellent speed for his size (converted college receiver) — can stretch the seam and beat man coverage. Can swing his hips and seal edges. Functional base blocker in pass protection. Extremely versatile — has lined up at TE, WR, RB, FB, H-back and OLT positions and has handled a variety of assignments, including as a kickoff returner. Very hardworking and committed.
Negatives: Has never been a full-time starter and has modest career production. Is not a precise route runner — will flag routes and give up break points. Can improve hand use beating the jam. Hands are not natural — tends to body and double-catch the ball. Average awareness adjusting to the ball downfield. Could be more urgent and disciplined in his blocking approach — can be late to locate his target and get beat to a spot. Can be overloaded by a complex playbook and is best functioning with simplified assignments.
Summary: Operating from the shadows of Vernon Davis, the game's most explosive, physically gifted tight end, Walker has quietly emerged as a very solid, jack-of-all-trades, hybrid contributor in Jim Harbaugh's offense. Factors primarily as a No. 2 tight end and on special teams, and possesses the physical skill set capable of contributing in a variety of roles. Is best utilized running underneath crossers that accentuate his run strength and blocking on the move in an H-back capacity.

*drools uncontrollably*
This is a discussion on Tucker Gunleather Rig *pics* within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Very nice rig....
ive never seen anything like that.. very nice
Mark did a great job on the pictures. Thanks, Mark!
He captured the Black Cherry color perfectly and the lighting is very professional.
I've used one of Mark's pics on the front page of our website.
Yes beautiful! I'll have my plain black completed in a few months, but I still want a cherry black just like yours some day.
That is a fantastic looking holster! Be careful not to scratch it.
Very nice carry set. Absolutely A~1

Looks like good, basic, strong quality leather. I'm not really see'in any belly used. Mr. Tucker's genius though, is his original carving design. The border tool half shell with the lines carved in going along with the shape of each item. Wow, I really like it. Great staining too.
One word. WOW!!! Gotta have one of those someday as they are THE classiest holsters made IMO.
Holster looked so nice I didn't pay attention to that Baer .45. Nice set up all around!

Another "nice rig" comment. Tucker makes good stuff, and I've never heard of anyone not being satisfied with his wares; especially the "full house" wares.

Dr. Bill Harman, Director of the State University of New York (SUNY) at Oneonta Biological Field Station in Cooperstown, New York, holds a flip-flop recovered from Otsego Lake and covered with invasive zebra mussels.
Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) are freshwater bivalves found in lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs. Native to Europe, zebra mussels were found in the Great Lakes region in 1988 and later discovered in the upper Susquehanna River in 2002. Since then, the invasive mussel has spread further into the Chesapeake region's rivers and streams. In 2011, the mussel was spotted for the first time in the Eastern Shore's Sassafras River. And in 2015, two watermen found zebra mussels colonizing on their fishing gear in the Susquehanna Flats.
Efficient filter-feeders, zebra mussels can remove a lot of plankton—an important food source for other critters—from the water. They also attach themselves to native mussels and to manmade structures, clogging intake pipes and encrusting boat hulls and buoys. Scraping, power-washing and chemical treatments can be used to control zebra mussels, but once a population has been established, it can be almost impossible to eradicate.
To prevent the spread of zebra mussels and other invasive species, make sure boat hulls, trailers and other equipment are thoroughly cleaned before moving them to a new body of water.

The Chesapeake Bay has more than 11,600 miles of shoreline. Evidence of its changing tides can be observed along much of the region, whether it is a high water mark on a dock piling, a line of seaweed on a beach or a shorebird pulling shellfish from the mud of a temporarily exposed flat.
In some watershed cities—like Annapolis, Maryland—the difference between high and low tides is about one foot. In others—like Norfolk, Virginia—this difference can reach up to three feet. We have built our roads, homes and buildings around the regular movement of this water. But as sea levels rise, land subsides and natural barriers to coastal flooding are lost, our coastal cities will face more impactful high-tide flooding that occurs regardless of heavy winds or rain.
High-tide flooding has also been called sunny-day, shallow coastal or nuisance flooding. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) records a high-tide flood when one of its local tide gauges measures a water level above the local threshold for minor impacts. While the depth and extent of high-tide floods can vary, the nuisances that result are far from minor: disrupted transportation, degraded stormwater management systems, flooded roads, homes and businesses, and strained maintenance budgets.
Rates of high-tide flooding on all coasts are rising. In a June 2016 report on the state of high-tide nuisance flooding in the United States, NOAA researchers attribute increasing flood frequencies to local sea level rise—which itself is attributed to the melting of ice on land as the air warms and the expansion of seawater as oceans warm—and local land subsidence, or the settling or sinking of land. Indeed, according to the report, "annual flood rates have increased locally by two or three times or more as compared to the rate experienced 20 years ago."
Of the 28 local long-term tide gauges operated by NOAA, four are in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Together, these four cities—Annapolis and Baltimore in Maryland, Norfolk in Virginia and the District of Columbia—experienced a total of 128 high-tide flood days in 2015, with Baltimore and Norfolk experiencing local totals just two days and one day below the highest historical record. These floods were likely exacerbated by El Niño, which affected winds and storm tracks along the mid-Atlantic and West coasts.
The 2016 outlook for each of these four cities is lower than the number of flood days the cities observed in 2015: 15 flood days are expected to occur in 2016 in Baltimore, 47 in Annapolis, 33 in Washington, D.C., and 8 in Norfolk. However, NOAA expects future outlooks to underestimate flood days because of the increasingly "nonlinear response" flood frequencies will have to sea level rise. Furthermore, the agency's high-tide flood outlook does not account for flooding compounded by local rainfall, and precipitation in the watershed is expected to increase in response to climate change.
While we cannot reverse the effects of climate change that have already been observed in the region—which include warming temperatures, rising sea levels and more extreme weather events, as well as coastal flooding, eroding shorelines and changes in the abundance and migration patterns of wildlife—we can enhance our resiliency against them. To build resiliency against high-tide flooding, for example, cities have relied on flood barriers to block rising water, drafted ambitious plans to raise low-lying streets and constructed new facilities higher off the ground.
Through the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, the Chesapeake Bay Program has committed to increasing the resiliency of the region's communities, living resources and wildlife habitats to the adverse impacts of changing environmental conditions. Learn about our work to monitor and assess the trends and impacts of climate change and to pursue, design and construct restoration and protection projects that will enhance the resiliency of our ecosystem.
Air quality improvements throughout the Potomac River watershed—due primarily to the Clean Air Act—have helped improve water quality in the Chesapeake Bay, according to research from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES).
When cars, power plants and other sources emit air pollution, it can be carried by wind and weather over long distances until it falls onto land or directly into the water. In fact, scientists estimate that one third of the nitrogen in the Chesapeake Bay comes from the air—through a process known as atmospheric deposition. And while studying water quality trends in the Upper Potomac River Basin, UMCES scientists confirmed that reductions in atmospheric nitrogen deposition are playing a large role in improvements in the area's water quality.
"Most best management practices—like a riparian buffer or retention pond—only impact a relatively small area," said Keith Eshleman, professor at UMCES' Appalachian Laboratory and co-author of the study. "You can think about the Clean Air Act as a best management practice that affects every square meter of the watershed."
Experts at the Chesapeake Bay Program will be able to incorporate the findings into their modeling efforts, in order to better simulate the benefits of the Clean Air Act on reducing nitrogen pollution. The study—along with other research, monitoring and data collected over the past decade—will support Bay Program decision-making during the upcoming Midpoint Assessment of the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load, or TMDL.
Last year, the Chesapeake Bay Program released an interactive story map illustrating how Clean Air Act regulations, as well as decades of enforcement actions, led to a steady decline in air pollution across the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
The study—"Declining nitrate-N yields in the Upper Potomac River Basin: What is really driving progress under the Chesapeake Bay restoration?"—can be found online.

No New Bids on Downtown Arena
Sacramento city leaders want to move to suspend bid requirements on construction of the new downtown arena.
The Sacramento Bee is reporting that in a memo to the city council, city staffers said competitive-bid procedures would make it impossible to meet the current construction schedule.
The building at Downtown Plaza is supposed to open in 2016. The council will be asked to vote on the proposal next Tuesday. A 2/3 super-majority is needed to suspend the bid rules.

San Bernardino kitchens on Tuesday opened up their doors and embraced those needing a warm meal of turkey and dressing.
St. Bernardine Medical Center celebrated its 18th year of providing an early Thanksgiving dinner to more than 700 while The World Way Outreach celebrated its first Thanksgiving dinner at a newly acquired mission site.
Some 1,500 to 2,000 attended the pre-Thanksgiving meal at 1001 N. Arrowhead Ave., said Marco Garcia, pastor of The Way World Outreach.
"Most of the food came from people in our congregation. Many of them have moved from needing help to offering help," Garcia said, on a balcony overlooking one of two central dinning rooms.
More than 400 congregation members and members of the nearby community volunteered to help during the event, he said.
At one point in the afternoon, a long line of people wrapped around part of the large church building, which The World Way acquired just a few days earlier.
Among those attending the Thanksgiving Event were Melissa Lay, 20, a Valley College student that lives just a few blocks away from the church and Jason Gibbs, 50, who lives "where I park my truck."
Gibbs said he learned about the event from a woman who passed out a flier about the free meal at the fast-food restaurant where he was having breakfast.
Lay said people from the church stopped by at every residence in her neighborhood to invite people to the Tuesday afternoon dinner.
Jeff Jordan, 28, said the free meal helps out because he hasn't been able to find work since moving to San Bernardino three months ago.
In addition to the holiday meal, St. Bernardine offered free flu shots, dental screenings and blood pressure checks.
During the festivities, families had the opportunity to select jackets and warm outerwear donated through a collaboration with St. Bernardine Medical Center and its sister hospital, Community Hospital of San Bernardino.

"I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people."
"I don't think I look all that young. You've probably heard me say my scars are all on the inside."
John Edwards (born Johnny Reid Edwards on June 10, 1953) is an American politician whose high-profile affair caused him to fall from grace. His political career began when he was elected as a U.S. Senator from North Carolina. Nominated as the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, running alongside John Kerry, Edwards and Kerry lost the race for presidency. Edwards was also a Democratic nominee for the presidency in 2008, but news of his affair, as well as legal problems regarding his appropriation of campaign funding in relation to his affair, mired his chances of becoming president. He was tried in court for six felony charges, but was not found guilty on a single one. Not only was John's affair scandalous because of his use of government funds to cover it up, but citizens nationwide were disgusted to find his now-deceased wife, Elizabeth Edwards, was fighting cancer while he carried on an affair with Rielle Hunter.
Best Known For:
His race for the presidency in 2008, and his extra-marital affair with Rielle Hunter.

A few days ago, the makers of Chitrangda Singh's next film Inkaar cut a theatrical trailer. But after getting the job done, they realised that the promo included a couple of lines that may not make it to the final theatrical, as they would be too explicit or a little too saucy for everyone's taste.
So now, keeping that in mind the makers — Viacom 18 and director Sudhir Mishra — have decided to release these controversial dialogues on the internet, as teasers.
An insider close to the project says, "Everyone brainstormed over this situation and after a lengthy discussion they decided to do this in order to avoid any unpleasant situations later. One particular dialogue, which was debated, involves Chitrangda saying: "Yes, my boss has taught me everything. However, that doesn't mean that I will spread my legs every time he walks into the room'." So as part of their new marketing strategy, the makers will promote 10-15 second-long clips from the film, on the web, to grab the attention of youngsters who are either starting their careers or are new to their workplace.
"Since the film has a bold and controversial subject and talks about sexual harassment in the office, there are a few dialogues that might raise eyebrows. The makers do not want to take any chances," adds the insider.
For the uninitiated, Chitrangda and Arjun Rampal will team up for the first time in Inkaar. When contacted, the film's spokesperson confirmed the news, saying: "Inkaar is a bold statement on gender relationships within an office environment. Hence, we have quite a few lines that are explicit and hard-hitting. We plan to make them go viral on the Internet to create excitement."

Musician Anoushka Shankar, who's son Zubin is now three weeks old, will release her so-far untitled solo album later this year. Shankar will also tour India in December-January to promote the album. However, the musician, who had been working and recording all through her pregnancy, is currently on maternity leave.
Her filmmaker husband, Joe Wright, whose film Hanna is slated to release in April, has also reduced his working hours. "Joe is working less and is therefore able to be with Zubin and me a lot right now. But he is developing his next film, so, slowly he will be working more and more again. I, for the most part, am on maternity leave for a few months, having worked right through the pregnancy. I don't want to miss a moment of this," says Shankar.
Describing her newfound high of mommyhood, she says, "It's still not sinking in that I am a mom. I look at his face and can't believe he was inside me. Feeding him is when I feel most connected to the fact that he's my son and that my body provides for him. It's the most wonderful and surreal experience I've ever had," she says.
And whom does Zubin resemble between the two parents? "He seems to be a mix of both of us and our parents. It's still hard to tell as his features are changing so much," she says.
Asked her if they are planning a nursery for Zubin, and the doting mommy says, "We are planning one of the rooms in our house in London to eventually be his bedroom. But, we have everything he needs, in our room, right now. We can't dream of putting him in another room."
She says that both her and Joe's families are "overjoyed". "It feels really beautiful to make people happy this way. My father, in particular, has really blown me away. He seems younger when he's with Zubin, and comes everyday to play with him. It's really moving."

tech house music magnates Phil Kieran and Green Velvet made a track titled 'Michael Jackson' in what could be seen as a tribute to the legend.
Out on Phil Kieran's imprint Phil Kieran Recordings this serves as one of two versions of the song, one being named 'Mic Jack In Version' the other being 'Mic Jack Out Version'!
The track presents a tight groove with some spaced out alien shit going on in the background with this synth producing freaky noises. The monotone voice also adds an element of off center coolness.

Re: Which exhaust for 07 Escalade?
Just have a custom system made. Back at college I had a guy with a Corsa Sport, headers and a few other goodies get rid of his exhaust for a custom CGS setup after hearing my truck. I sold it but still have my other V8 Mountaineer and just had a custom dual CGS system installed, nice and deep/agressive. Exactly what I wanted. Flows have a hollow/raspy sound IMO unless you have a nice cammed/built engine. I thought Magnaflow sounded great on the 6.0's though.
Re: Which exhaust for 07 Escalade?
I had a Magnaflow system on my Avalanche and I loved the sound. It had a little drone but nothing that was annoying. Like it was said earlier the 07's have a pretty good exhaust note from the factory. I really wouldn't want it any louder than it already is. My plan is to see if I can get the muffler pushed further under the bumper so it is out of sight and get some chrome tips.

Re: Which exhaust for 07 Escalade?
I'm sure Borla is working on a system for the 07. I heard the Borla split exit exhaust on my friends 03 and it really sounds great. I am getting one installed on my 05 along with a Volant air intake. I'm still young and I like making a lot of noise. Borla does that for me.

Shame on you if you share your password. The consequences can ruin your sterling reputation, violate legal terms of service, promote fraud and identity theft, and give ex-lovers weapons of mass digital destruction. We all do it, despite the risks. Share your Netflix password with your BFF so she can watch House Of Cards and season 4 of Arrested Development.

Customers are becoming hyper-connected. Sensor-laden devices on our bodies, in our homes, in our cars, and virtually everywhere else are creating new opportunities firms large and small. Products such as Google Glass, the Nest home thermostat, and the Nike+ FuelBand are the latest cool kids on the block. Not many people have these yet, but remember that every smartphone and tablet is full of sensors such as accelerometer, GPS, microphone, cameras, temperature, and more.
Smart Body, Smart World
Forrester Senior Analyst Sarah Rotman Epps says that sensors will power the next wave of innovation and disrupt many industries. We could not agree more.

Over the last 25 years the Weymouth Club has thrived by Diversifying!
Feature story from the Patriot Ledger, Quincy Massachusetts...Steve and Sally Goldman bought the club in 1988. At that time it was a thriving racket club with 900 members. Today the club has more than tripled in membership and doubled in size.
The expansion, at a time when tennis popularity was steadily declining nationwide, is a result of the new owners decision to diversify and make the club more family oriented.
"It was really a result of what we were going through in our own lives" said Sally Goldman. "We have three children of our own and our needs in a club were changing. It turned out that a lot of people are in a similar situation".
According to Steve Goldman "the number of people playing tennis has never been greater. Many families who originally joined for aerobics, weightlifting, day care services or swimming eventually sign up for tennis, or enroll their children in tennis camp".
The Weymouth Club has been evolving since the Goldmans first took over. The first of four renovations took place in 1991 when one of the indoor courts was converted into a fitness center. Two outdoor courts were converted into a full size pool and hot tub, under an inflated bubble so they could be used year-round.
The Goldmans expanded the nursery and added family-oriented programs like "peewee tennis" and "fit tots", an exercise program for 3-5 year olds.
Two years later two additional bubbles were added so the outdoor courts could be used year-round. In 1995 the club bought the neighboring 5 acre field for parking and summer camp programs, and converted one of the many indoor courts into an expanded locker facility with steam baths and saunas.
In the last couple of years the Goldmans' have expanded the day care center and fitness care, added an aerobics room and remodeled the lobby and office areas. Today's Weymouth Club contains 60,000 square feet of floor space, an additional 40,000 square feet of under bubbles, and parking for 240 cars. The club is currently situated on 11 acres...
We are committed not only to improving Weymouth Club, but also to maintaining our standard of uncompromising quality and service as we grow and expand. We will continue to provide an environment that accommodates individuals of all ages and fitness levels.
Thank you for your continued support.
Steve and Sally Goldman

Or have we seen this one already?

It looks like a miniaturized version of the Escalade grille.
There it is. Just imagine a matching lower that's only one "bar" high running across the bottom.
Well, we have the official picture now! (Posted as a new thread in this forum)
I wonder how many of those bra packages they will sell.
The ugly teeth on the upper and lower grille ruin what could have been a somewhat pleasant nose.
The aftermarket will do well.

Both Pittsburgh's residential real estate market and commercial real estate market have received praise for their strength in recent days.
Moody's ranked the Pittsburgh commercial real estate market the best in the nation in its latest survey of the market in 60 metropolitan regions. Back in 2005, it was ranked among the worst for owners of commercial real estate. The honor was covered in both the Post-Gazette and Tribune-Review if you are interested in reading more.
Residential homeowners in Pittsburgh received similar news. ABC News and Forbes, in a joint survey, declared Pittsburgh one of the nation's 25 strongest housing markets. They expect the market for Pittsburgh homes to bottom in the second half of 2009, and the prices to fall a mere .3% more before reaching that bottom.
Of course, today's strong real estate markets don't resemble the price appreciation and frenzy of the boom times. It may be that Pittsburgh has received the praise only because prices haven't fallen as much as they have in other cities. But even that may be sufficient cause to celebrate given the condition of some of the nation's housing markets.

Ripoff Report
instantcheckmate.comLas Vegas, Nevada USA
instantcheckmate.com of Las Vegas & other sites to obtain individuals' public records promises public record info but can't deliver; cites disclaimer re: inaccurate or incomplete info, but doesn't specify that no info may be accessible on person looked up. Then, promises cancellation with refund, with email within 1 hour; claims it was sent, but also claims it may take 24 hours; waste of time & frustration speaking to 4 employees who are scripted to lie. Refused to refund $1.99 extra for pdf, because only one refund to per customer. Don't waste your time & money on online promises of public records; go to county courthouse in person, & save the cost & hassle of getting a refund after they have your credit care info. Good luck getting money back; they must have many cancellations & refund request. Las Vegas Nevada
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
InstantCheckmate.com is one of several websites promising public record info on a person or people you designate, for a subscription price (I selected 1mo. for $22.88), but you must call & cancel because they will automatically renew with your credit card info. They charged an additional 1-time $1.99 for pdf downloads. Then, they try so hard to upsell you to Premium Pkg., it's difficult to decline this & continue. Yes, call me naive for thinking this would work. My advice is to go to your county courthouse & look up the info yourself, with only a small charge for copies. The real problem was trying to cancel & get a refund only minutes after failing to get any real info. When you complain & request a refund, they claim some states do not cooperate with public info requests (like you are supposed to know this). They don't tell you this upfront, when it could affect your buying decision. Their disclaimer states only that their info "may not be 100% accurate, complete or up to date," which is not the same as "unavailable on a state-to-state basis" (e.g. California). The call took 45 min., but I finally extracted the promised refund & cancellation, the refund to take 2-3 business days. I insisted on email verification & a supervisor promised it within one hour. Three hours later & no email, I called again--more hassle & claimed that an email could take 24 hours, & might go to Spam file. I'll try again tomorrow, & let you know. Maybe my bank can help.

Far from the commercial stuff, from naughty newspaper articles there are still monks devoted to the other.
In year 2006, the chief of the Religious Affairs Department has sought the use of state television airtime to air admirable activities of Buddhist monks. Good and decent monks still exist in Thailand despite so much news about monks being bad in the papers these days.
For example Thai monks in "ISAN" area are key people for the development of the area. They are often the only way for government to introduce new laws, new medicine through remote villages. Farmers listen and have faith in monks more than in the central Bangkok government. Some monks even organise and collect founds to help poor farmers to cope with everyday problems.
These monks in "ISAN" area are called development monks ("PHRA NAK PHATTANA" - พระนักพัฒนะ).
One of his fingers is a long as a hand! His name is quite funny and simple because "SUNG" (สูง) means "high" in Thai language. He must be about 35-40 years old and since his arrival the temple has changed a lot.
|Luang Pho Sung
In year 2000 when the government tried to restructure the National fund deposits, Luang Ta Mahabua interferes saying that officials steal the money given by Thai people. Some criticized him for forgetting his Buddhist detachment but government stopped the fund restructuration.

On the fourth anniversary of the baht disaster, Luang Ta Mahabua turned over 55 gold bars and $300,000 to the government. It was the latest installment of his campaign to help shore up the country. So far, he has raised $5.3 million and over two tonnes of gold.
Thai people believe that Luang Phor Khoon has supernatural powers and knowledge in white magic. White magic is a good magic. On the contrary black magic is an evil magic. Highly worshipped monks are supposed to possess wisdom, knowledge and are said to master all kind of power spirits.

Addiction Treatment Services
There are so many different treatment centers saying they are the best and that they have the highest success rate. Speaking with someone who has your best interest at heart and that is not a salesman at a drug or alcohol rehab can be the difference between getting it right the first time and having to do this several times. At Addiction Treatment Services our best interest is helping you find a facility that focuses on what is needed and not necessarily what is wanted. It's not to say we won't help you find what your looking for, it's because we are counselors and professional interventionist and if we hear something that doesn't sound or feel right we will discuss that with you. The most important things to focus on in finding the right treatment center is:
- Level of care needed
- Length of stay
- Location of the treatment center
- Insurance coverage and financial component
What Makes Us Different?
Addiction Treatment Services is the treatment center department of Family First Intervention, Inc. Because of our 10 years of experience and as the largest intervention company in the United States we have worked with and sent thousands of people to treatment centers throughout the country. We have developed solid relationships with successful drug and alcohol treatment centers throughout the United States, these relationships are based on site-visits, a direct working relationship with the centers, their staff and their success rates. Having worked with so many families throughout the intervention process and having the ability to spend time with them for several days at a time, we have been able to see how most of these centers you find on the internet actually operate. Many times what you are promised does not line up with what we have experienced. Because of our direct contact with families throughout the years it has given us a greater ability to help an addict or alcoholic with what they need versus what they want.
Addiction Treatment Services was created in order help those with an addiction and their loved ones find a successful treatment center that will best meet their individual needs. Although every family needs the education of an intervention, not every addict or alcoholic needed an intervention to make that first decision to enter treatment. No matter how someone makes their way to treatment, everyone needs guidance to find the drug or alcohol rehab center that gives them the best chance for successful recovery.
Why Do Our Professional Contacts Count?
Finding the right treatment center can increase your chances for long term sobriety. Client and families have shared many of their stories with us which has allowed us to make better decisions about where to send people for treatment.
We have been able to monitor and see how most of the treatment centers out there operate and equally as important how your insurance carrier operates. Just because you have outstanding health insurance it does not mean you have outstanding coverage for substance abuse and mental health. By letting us verify your benefits we are able to provide you with an unbiased independent review. Many times what we experience is not nearly the same as what a treatment center or your insurance company is telling you.
After care is as important as the initial care
Anyone can stay sober or clean while inpatient at a drug or alcohol rehab, it is when they are back home that matters most. We focus strongly on the treatment centers ability to provide effective drug and alcohol treatment aftercare programs. We almost always recommend that young adults living with their parents before leaving for treatment continue on in an after care program directly from treatment rather than just going straight back home. It's not about what an addict or alcoholic wants, it is about what they need. Just because a treatment center says they can go home, does not mean the family has to let them or that the family is ready themselves.
Addiction Treatment Services connects clients with successful drug and alcohol rehab programs that offer the aftercare treatment options that will meet your individual needs. We only suggest programs that we have seen in action and know can offer the best chance for recovery for each individual person and their family.

Good Monday to you and welcome again the Hittin' the Links. What a week in golf it was! There was a lot of golf on television this weekend for the golf enthusiast, too much in fact to watch all at once. So HTL is here to give you the wrap-up on what you may have missed and whatever else interesting there is out there in the golf universe.
In this edition, we tie the knot with Greg Norman, check in on the new super teen of the LPGA Tour, see if Annika really is finished at the U.S. Open, and find out why it's always about Tiger. Also, we investigate the rest of the tours around the world, see what Michelle Wie's future has in store, tee off at this weeks golf destination, and find out why PGA tour stars just can't seem to say "No Comment." Read On.
Hole 1: Norman Ties the Knot
Greg Norman and Chris Evert married in the Bahamas over the weekend. [Link]
Hole 2: Teen Week at the U.S. Women's Open
Inbee Park becomes the youngest U.S. Women's Open Champion at 19 years of age. [Link]
Hole 3: Perry Strong in Michigan
Kenny Perrry closes with 66 to win the Buick Open. [Link]
Hole 4: Lauren Roberts Wins
Loren Roberts returns to the winner's circle on the Champions Tour. [Link]
Hole 5: Annika Plays in Last U.S. Open?
Annika Sorenstam has not completely closed the idea of her playing in some more U.S.Opens.[Link]
Hole 6: Wie's Future Not So Bright
One-time phenom Michelle Wie has faded severely from the limelight of the LPGA Tour. [Link]
Hole 7: Destination of the Week
Canada's Okanagan Valley holds plenty for the traveling golfer and wine lover.
Hole 8: It's Always About Tiger
The PGA Tour is taking a hit with Tiger missing the rest of the year. [Link]
Hole 9: Is This Microphone On?
Saying something stupid seems to be contagious on the PGA Tour as of late. [Link]

Where once popular culture was an inhibiting force, now there are a multitude of images of what it means to be male - from Guy Pearce's drag queen in Priscilla Queen of the Desert to Michael Catons battling dad in The Castle - and men and boys have been given new freedom to express themselves.
Are ideas of maleness now more diverse and if so, is it a good thing?
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
Sir Les,
Ok, ok, I accept the man behind the beard!
Lara Smith
Arthur Farqhuar "I view it as another attempt by conservative forces to find another way of shoring up masculine power."
No male power is natural... the feminists needed to subvert legislation to force the balance... eg Equal opportunity commission... family law... all vehicles of gender suppression... yet the boys still end up on top... natural ability I guess
Col Rouge
Dear Obiter. I wouldn't use the majority of European men as an example of profeminised masculinity. You clearly haven't had your bum pinched in Rome lately. And for the record, on two trips to Europe this year I didn't see any men with sticky gel in their hair, fake tan in winter whitened teeth. Give me the real Aussie man any day!
Jenny Penfield
I don't want kids, so it don't worry me. It got the best of all worlds. Heh.
30 something gal
Justin Straight says
"is that it is essentially what gay guys were wearing 5 to 10 years ago"
Interesting he writes that because the latest trends coming out of gay america is the return to more natural looking bodies for men (gym is bad) and a more masculine looking appearence (ie facial & body hair)...also a shunning of clothes labels & beauty products...(ironically this has been happening in gay Sydney & Melbourne to a lesser degree in the last 12 months or so.
One would expect that it will take 5 years for that trend to start to be taken up by the straight men....
"I view it as another attempt by conservative forces to find another way of shoring up masculine power."
Yes, Dr Mark Nicholls, metrosexuality is all another dastardly tory trick so that white men can reign supreme over women. Someone spare us from such unsubstantiated second rate social commentary please!
Arthur Farqhuar
If it wasn't for crap like, CLEO, COSMO, DOLLY and all the other crap womens magazines that exist I reckon we men would not be so confused. It seems each of these magazines is an instruction manual on how a woman should change her man to be something other than what he is.
Warren Todger
I think it's diffcult to understand the modern challenges of being male without the context of the Women's Liberation movement and the impact it has had on the "other side".
In much the same way as Women's Lib has opened new and often exciting possibilities for Women, it has inadvertently opened new possibilities for young Men. The expansion of Women's roles into areas such as having a Career, choosing not to take on the motherhood role as a given - for a long time threw Men. I don't thign we really new what to do and how to react.
The emergence of metrosexuals shows that Men too are open to new forms of expression and are breaking down old stereotypes which, once upon a time, would have labelled these type of Men as "poofs". I think it's a positive in creating new possbilites fo us all.
BUT - there's always a but - it seems that we are no cloer to bridging the gender gap. Just as women challenged the idea of the stay-at-home motherhood role, men are challenging the idea of taking the fatherhood role. In essence they've got it too good.
They have mutliple partners and experiences as a result of the sexual freedom women are demanding, and don't feel the need to make long term commitments about families, marriage etc.
In seeking to linderate themselves, it seems Women have liberated Men. Now it's getting harder to find a young man who'll commit. They behave at 30 like 18 year olds did twenty years ago.
It's a mess out these. Whether or not you wear make up or fashionable clothes, one thing hasn't changes. The mark of a Man is his character and values. Not his fashion sense. We have a co-created liberation built on independence but this is breaking down options for Women in theor 30s who suddenly want to have kids.
As the saying goes, careful what you wish for....
Women it seems have just got it.
Lara - If you are prepaired to accept the man behind the beard and accept the inner beard then I would be ready to negotiate - The beard really is a ststement
Gill - I will have fun sunning myself. If you don't accept the beard or convert it will allow the men more time to watch football & cricket without guilt - Cheers! (sound of tinnie cracking in back bround.
Sir Les
Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do
Oh the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do
There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the One

Rego - a sample representing inner-city Syd & Melb may just represent a high proportion of (especially younger) advertising creatives, media producers, journalists etc & therefore represent much of the influence that may shape the future of the rest of the country.
Space Monkey - most / all of the girls in my various circles seem to feel pretty much the same as you, to a greater or lesser degree.
Rainier Wolfcastle - i think marketing is partly a driver & partly a follower of the "metrosexual" trend. it certainly is one aspect of it, but your claim suggests that it is all about how you look, and not about how you behave, especially how you relate to others. it seems to me that if you frame your argument in terms of the "metrosexual" tag then your conclusion is also a bit of a fait accompli.
I am so SICK of hearing the word "metrosexual"!
It's about time that the yobbo Aussie men are catching up to their European brethen. It isn't called "metrosexual" over there - because it's normal. It's about time people here in Australia grew up and stopped using this ridiculously stupid word.

Sir Les,
Can't I at least trim the beard???? I hate beards and I don't wish to be a lesbian!
What do you say?
Lara Smith
The really interesting thing about inner-city Sydney/Melbourne 'metrosexual' clothing, haircuts etc. is that it is essentially what gay guys were wearing 5 to 10 years ago. How strange that supposedly hetero guys want to look gay?
Justin Straight
I think its a good idea to a certain extent
all this crap in food and drink can lead a man to become someone who isn't true to their soul thterefore becoming 'lost', its not fair but what is in this world.
Mike Black (bright and cheery today)
"with a name like "Marion" you had to be tough or bluff tough or get crushed."
'Marion'is the name of my mother-in-law. Its original meaning is 'bitter', which describes her to a T.
You might be interested to know that Clive James was christened 'Vivian'. His mother let him change his name when he was a child due to the popularity of Vivian Leigh and he didn't want to have what was fast becoming a feminine name.

Did I tell you all that this morning I was admiring the blooms in my garden before I cycled to work?
One of the ladybird poppies opened - self seeded from last year's crop and one of my new kangaroo paws opened. Absolutely stunning!
Ben-e-boi (accept no imitatings)
Sir Les,
I choose neither, neither is a choice after all. Cheers and have a nice time sunning yourself.
I cannot agree with you more on you first paragraph. The only reason for the ries of the metrosexual is to expand the consumer base of the cosmetic and fashion industries.
Anybody (both men and women) who have fallen for this drivel are wandering down a sidewater dead end of evolution. Girls if your bloke is a "met" you are pretty much a lesbian by default or dating a hermaphrodite one of the two?
Men of the world unite! lets all grow chest length beards. if none of us buckle the women will have to either choose one of us or convert to leasbanisim... It's a win/win situation! What about us you say? were getting the deck chairs out and watching!
Sir Les
Tiny Tim "By the way - wasn't John Wayne from the Jim Nabors / Rock Hudson school of masculinity anyway? "
I find John Wayne a parody of Johnny Cash's song "A Boy Named Sue"... with a name like "Marion" you had to be tough or bluff tough or get crushed.
Col Rouge
Space Monkey- I find effiminate men sexy (sic).
When you get to Mr. Mac and my age, one size fits all is a blessing as long as he does not back the bus up
: (
Mrs Mac
What a load of postmodern pseudo-"emancipated" nonsense. This is the mirror-image of Spice Girls feminism, where fashion statements stand in for actual political/social liberation. All sexualised representations in contemporary commercial media trivialise human human gender relations and sexual expression in the service of selling stuff. So now men can buy cosmetics and worry about their clothing - and, isn't it great, we can get eating disorders too!
I suppose that's what you get from the "lifestyle" section of newspapers these days: brain rot and vicarious identification with conspicuous consumption.
If masculinity as a behavioural expectation, it's pretty obvious that there are (and always have been) multiple masculinities which all police some gender binary. Either way, with all this pomo irony stuff, you just wind up with participants in gay parades dressing up as macho authority figures like cops and soldiers.
And is it just me, or is John Howard playing the supra-rational "authoritative father" thing as the bedrock of his election campaign? Looking sternly at the camera: "Only I am responsible and prudent enough to keep interests rates down!" Only I can maintain security and protect the nation in these troubled times!" That's why Howard's weird "hello?! hello?!" routine looked so embarrassing.
Is that the archetypal warrior-father or what? Give us a break.
Rainier Wolfcastle
Mary: True, but competing for power is masculine--witness some of the powerful female managers in the corporate world. They are just totally ruthless in how they dispense with other staff and claw their way to the top. Yeah, I suppose washing dishes could be masculine or feminine. But corporate or political ambition really suits men better, I feel anyway.
Troy Cox
Troy what you are seeing is not women acting like men. You are seeing women acting like women. Most women do want to be successful whether that be at home, in their hobby or in business in that respect they are no different to men. It is just that only very recently have women not been oppressed by men. It is only recently in history that men are really seeing womens true character, what they really want, how they really feel. What men saw before was the equivalent of what a dictator sees, a person fitting the mould that dictator dictates so they will not be further oppressed. Some women like the 'traditional role' ie staying at home being quite and allowing men to take the lead. Some women like to take the lead, be the ones to earn the money, make the decision.
Also if you think women are not viscious and this is a new thing you have obviously never seen the difference between how men and women end relationships. As a woman I can tell you we are extremely viscious and can cut people off very quickly. If you want someone to cut half your staff and not feel and psychologically ill or guilty get a woman to do it. Their only pretending to be nice. Also listen to how school girls back stab each other. Troy you have been living in the dark.
Neither is better or worse than the other. However which ever path a woman chooses she is not being masculine. Do not confuse how women have been allowed to act in the past due to oppression by men (sorry men but it was you) to what is the natural way for a woman to act.
Wow another useless ,over-simplified,over-assuming article that relies on gender stereotypes and that thinks a sample representing inner-city Sydney and Melbourne represents the real Australia.
Animal male aggression is hardwired to challenge, defend and protect. In the human world this chivalry was used to protect the weak and defend the innocent (Sitting Bull/Rob Roy/Braveheart ... all gallant examples). Somewhere along the line challenges became about personal gain and the rest is history.
Men of Australia have an opportunity to vote soon and excercise their masculine choice to defend and protect or their macho choice to "pre-emptive" aggression. We are all so much more than the expression of our sex. Harness the power guys, you're being screwed too.
Greta K.
By the way - wasn't John Wayne from the Jim Nabors / Rock Hudson school of masculinity anyway?

My Husband likes to be on top and so do I. This Alpha nonsense has caused us numerous heartache. We spoke to this wonderful Marriage Counselor who employs his elderly mother as his receptionist. He put us on to a book called the Karma Sutra. We are now working our way through our problems, as we are the book. Recovery is going slowly, but we did agree to a page a day. :)
Mrs Mac
Interesting how we have this notion that society is oppressing men.
I guess we are all oppressed in our own special ways. Though I do agree that there are things that are harder for men, but when it comes to getting jobs I think its easier for men.
Anyway, as for men being allowed to express themselves - cool - perhaps my bf will tell me he loves me now - without all the wincing:P
I find effiminate men sexy.

Andrew Dixon brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 87 Designs von 29 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Cheap Holidays Compared
Cheap Holidays Compared is a new online holidays price comparison site to help consumers in the UK find the best value holidays during hard financial times.
The site is for anyone living in the UK looking a holiday at an excellent price.
The logo needs to simply say "Cheap Holidays Compared" and needs to be simple, friendly, clean and stylish.
We have no preference on colours but it would be nice for the logo to be able to be used on different coloured backgrounds.
We like the design of the logos for 99designs.com, spotify.com, last.fm and bebo.com.
On occasions there may be a need to use the logo in black and white or block colour so this needs to be considered as well.
We want a clean, modern and crisp look.

I have to post this....
I was in Tesco, Cheshunt this morning and as usual there were the hand carwash guys there plying their trade.
I came out and got in my car, looked across and there was a 15 year old Transit pick up, scabby as hell from rust being treated to a hand carwash by one of the guys. He was using a bucket and a microfibre mitt.
Can you imagine the next car he washes with that Mitt ? It'll be full of rust, paint and grit.....It sent a shudder down my spine.
If you are ever tempted .... think twice.

Some condo projects are stalled and a handful of new projects have been forced into foreclosure.
"With sales across Brooklyn down a staggering 57 percent from a year ago, Williamsburg, with its high density of new construction, has taken on an ominous disposition. Walk down virtually any block and you'll come across an amenity-laden building that sits nearly empty: relics of a moment in history that seems, increasingly, like a fever dream. Some developers with iffy financing have quietly been forced to go rental, others have lowered prices to the point where losses are inevitable, and a handful of projects, including two buildings Maundrell had been selling, have gone into foreclosure.
Most unsettling are the cases of the developers who seem to have vanished, leaving behind so many vacant lots and half-completed buildings-eighteen, to be precise, more than can be found in all of the Bronx-that large swaths of the neighborhood have come to resemble a city after an air raid."

Mary Scott from Too Stinkin' Cute shares her Crafty Christmas Play Date party inspired by Tiny Prints Cool Yuletide holiday party invitations.
Being a festive person who LOVES the holidays & family traditions, each year I try to come up with a little something special to celebrate the season with my daughter, and this year was no exception. After throwing around a few ideas, we decided on a "Crafty Christmas Play Date". To get started I needed the perfect invitation and when I found the "Cool Yuletide" invite at Tiny Prints it was the beginning of sweet inspiration!
This invite met every single criteria ~ it is fun, festive & fabulous… and the matching gift labels were a real bonus!
Once I received my order I was inspired to create some sample favors to see which one my daughter liked best. It was tie between the "S'more Kit" and the Dipped Jumbo Marshmallows. Thus we decided that we would do both!
The "S'more Kit" would be our party favor and the Dipped Marshmallows became a kitchen craft that we would do with all of the girls. Ultimately, we decorated gingerbread houses, hand dipped the marshmallows, wrote letters to Santa, made gifts for their Mom's and so on… we ended our play date with holiday inspired snacks & a Christmas movie. A good time was had by all!
Happy Holidays!
