Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. launched its latest flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S7, and Galaxy S7 Edge Sunday night during the Mobile World Congress, and unlike the launch of the Galaxy S6, they didn't disappoint.
Off the bat, the biggest selling points with the phone are literally a redux of back the future, and in this case, we literally mean ignore the Galaxy S6 and go back to the Galaxy S5, as the S7 sports two things the 5 had: it's waterproof and it has a microSD card slot.
The base model Galaxy S7 is 5.1 inches whereas the Galaxy S7 Edge comes in at the larger 5.5 inches.
Without any great surprise, both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge have a 12 megapixel rear camera, but if you like collecting obscure tech terms, Samsung is billing the new camera as the first with "dual pixel," which is apparently the new name for their Britecell technology. What it actually means is the new camera is said to be better than that on the iPhone's, has a wider aperture, faster shutter speed, and more accurate focus in low light conditions.
Look wise the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge hasn't changed a lot from the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge: same glass front and metal back, although Samsung now claims the glass is "3D," whatever that means.
As aforementioned the Galaxy S7 is waterproof like the Galaxy S5 was, but also comes with an IP68 rating, so it's dust friendly, for the next time you're stuck in a sandstorm and need you use your phone.
Internally the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 SoC with a quad-core Kryo CPU and Adreno 530 GPU, while the international version uses Samsung's own octa-core Exynos 8890 SoC, the latter is said to be 30 percent faster than the Galaxy S6.
The microSIM card on the phone utilizes Samsung's "Duos" standard, so if you don't want the extra memory it's also a hybrid slot for a sim, meaning you can use two sim cards at once. That's not a thing the American market asks for but it's a popular feature on phones in both Asia and Africa, and it also makes the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge the first serious phone in the U.S. market to ship with it as standard.
While the Galaxy S6 is still sold in record numbers, many a critic wrote the phone off as a failure for Samsung, and there was one core reason why: it was a case of Samsung trying too hard to make an iPhone competitor, one that looked good but was same/same; only slightly different.
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, on the other hand, hark back to the Galaxy S5, complete with the things that Samsung fans loved about the flagship range: microSIM card support in particular, but also the waterproofing is a major point of differentiation as well.
As expected, those who pre-order the phone will literally have a Billy Mays "but wait, there's more" moment, with a Gear VR thrown in for good measure as well; the Gear VR might not be the most amazing virtual reality experience on the market, but likewise it's something Samsung can offer whereas Apple can't.
Both phones will ship in the middle of March with the price to be advised.

Molokai Romance
Just as the sun sets over the shimmering water, you both see it. A green flash just before the sun sets. With some patience and a little luck, this once in a lifetime experience can be shared from either Papohaku Beach or Kapukahehu Beach (Dixie Maru Beach), the best spots on the island to watch the unobstructed sunset. Or spend magic hour at historic Kapuaiwa Coconut Grove, also known for its spectacular sunsets, and watch the colours change between the swaying coconut trees.
On Molokai, nature sets a romantic tone. As night falls, from the West End to the East End you'll notice you've never seen the stars shine so bright, unaffected by city lights. The lack of streetlights, crowds and distractions will give you both a chance to get reacquainted with the constellations – and each other.
- Beaches of Molokai
Molokai offers a handful of beautiful beaches. For those longing to get away from it all, Molokai's white sand beaches offer amazing unspoiled beauty, seclusion and romance.
- Snorkeling and Scuba of Molokai
Molokai's southern shore is home to Hawaii's longest continuous fringing reef at 28 miles long. Full of natural "finger" coral, stony coral and an abundance of reef fish, this a fantastic place for snorkeling and scuba diving when the waters are calm.
- Whale Watching on Molokai
From December to May, humpback whales call Hawaii home. Traveling an incredible 3,000 miles of ocean in less than two-months time, these gentle giants migrate from the gulf of Alaska to Hawaii for breeding and birthing in the islands' warm and shallow waters.

Curious for an explanation on this possible neurological problem?
I was on Yahoo answers, and happened to come across this question--> "Why does my healthy cat who is up-to-date on shots shake her head when she meows like she has itchy ears?
She doesn't have mites, she's an indoor cat. She has always had this tic since she was a kitten. She doesn't scratch her ears or twitch them but everytime she meows she lifts her chin or shakes her head (rapidly like a wet dog)"
I am now curious on the possible cause of this. Can anybody help with this answer?

My cat had an ear problem once that gave her liquid in her ears and she would shake her head to try to get it out.
Best thing to do if it is concerning the owner is to take her to the vet. If she is proved healthy and it does not seem to bother her then there is nothing to worry about.
It could be anything, she could be doing to after she meows because her jaw pops out of place or something like that. My aunt had a cat like that (he was bit in the jaw by a dog as a kitten).

Starting Position: Holding a dumbbell in each hand, kneel down in order to rest your elbows and forearms on a bench. Forearms are turned so that the palms up. Elbows should be bent to about 90-degrees and the dumbbells/hands should hang freely off the edge of the pad. Wrists are in line with the forearms (neutral).
Downward Phase: Inhale and slowly bend at the wrist so that the dumbbells to move toward the floor. Do not release your grip, straighten your elbows or lean forward / backward. Hold this position briefly.
Upward Phase: Exhale and slowly roll your wrists to pull the weight up and return the dumbbells to the starting position.
Individuals sometimes release their grip during the lowering phase, allowing the dumbbells to roll towards their fingertips. While this may increase the load on the forearm muscles, it also increases the risk of wrist injury and dropping the dumbbells. To increase strength think about squeezing the weights as hard as possible during both phases of the movement.

700R4 Question
I just picked up a 305 TPI engine and 700R4 transmission out of a 1991 Z28 with 63K miles on it.
I got to hear the engine run in the car before I bought it. The car was a creampuff but the guy picked up an LS1 he wanted to put in the car.
I'm going to put this combination in my '57 Chevy pickup. But, it is probably going to be at least a year before it's in and running.
It's now been about 2 months since I got it and the only thing I've done so far is separate the transmission (1FZM model) from the engine and set it on the floor of my shop.
I will assume the fluid has never been changed in it but I don't know that's the case.
So, my question is what I should do to the transmission now in preparation for storage for at least a year?
Btw, I found it on craigslist and it was exactly what I was looking for to put in the pickup. I think I got a steal on it too. Paid $1000 for the combo including all the accessories and ECU.
Pictures always make things more interesting.
Pictures of the car right before the engine was removed:
A few days later here's the engine/transmission in the back of my El Camino:
Here's the pickup it's going into: (This project is for my wife. My car is a '55 Bel Air.)
She won't drive it the way it is now. It's got a 235 6 cyl and a 3 speed on the column that pops of of second sometimes. But, it's the manual steering that is the real problem for her. Of course she wants A/C and a new paint job too.
Very nice!!...My advice is that you do nothing to it for now.I'd leave the fluid and the converter in it,put it in a plastic drum liner to keep your floor oil free, and stow it away in a dry corner somewhere.Then when you're ready to install it,flip the converter into a bucket to drain it,change the front and rear seals,throw a filter and pan gasket on it ,dress it up,and away you go...Thats gonna be a really nice conversion when it's done.Good luck with it.
The drum liner is a great idea. It does seem to continue to drip from the cooling line ports onto my shop floor.
Roger,pull the converter and wrap it seperately...that'll stop the fluid from coming out of the cooler line ports.
I agree with rick... I am not sure or not, if it matters if there is ATF in it or not.. Not sure if having no ATF in it during storage will dry out the seals and give you internal leaks or not... For me, just to be safe I would make sure the ATF does not drain out during storage....
Follow up Questions
Bringing this back to the top because I'm within 2 days work of firing this setup up. It's been 17 months since it's been running now. Answers to my questions will be appreciated.
I left the fluid in the transmission until last fall when I cleaned up the transmission, painted it and installed it in the chassis. Here's a pic from last October when I did that:
I drained as much fluid as I could get out of both the transmission and torque converter. I pulled pull the pan and put in a new filter. I didn't change the seals, I had forgotten that that was suggested here. I'll go with it the way it is and deal with it if there are leaks.
So my questions now are:
How much transmission fluid should I buy?
What's the best brand of fluid?
How much fluid do I put in initially before firing the engine?
Should I get any additive or conditioner?
Btw, here's how the engine looks in the bay:
I haven't painted the exterior of the truck yet. I did paint the firewall though before installing the cab back on the frame.
Here's my build thread if anyone is interested:
I guess it's about time I start a project thread for my wife's '57 3200 pickup.
What did you do with the motor you took out of the truck?
I'm assuming you didn't get all the fluid out of the torque converter because there should be at least a qt. & a half of ATF in it before you fire it up. Fill the trans. up to the dip stick line, start the engine an let it run for about 30 sec. then shut it down. Then refill the the trans. and start it again for 30 sec. & shut it down. Keep doing that until the fluid level stays the same. I'd start off with 2 gals. of Dex 3. That might be a little more than you need but it would be a good idea to to a fluid change after a 100 miles or so. No additive needed.
I tried to pour as much fluid out the torque converter as I could but I know there is still some in it. How much I don't know.
Why do you say to do a fluid change after a 100 miles?
Dump 4 - 5 quarts in and fire it up.
Run the shifter through the gears and add fluid until it is between the full and add marks.
No need to shut it off and restart.
Why do you say to do a fluid change after a 100 miles?
Just as a flush, your option.

With 'Blood Libel,' The 2012 Campaign Has Begun
WASHINGTON -- Sarah Palin has just proven again that she has only one gear -- forward -- and only one mode -- attack.
The 2012 presidential campaign has begun, not in Iowa or New Hampshire, but in the bloody streets of Tucson.
After a litany of other Republicans, from Roger Ailes to Ari Fleischer, suggested that calmer rhetoric is warranted in the aftermath of Tucson, Palin -- after remaining essentially silent for three days -- amped up the rhetoric in a pointed counterattack, accusing "journalists and pundits" of manufacturing a "blood libel" against her by suggesting that she somehow is to blame for the toxic political atmosphere in Arizona.
There are few more freighted phrases in the history of hate than "blood libel," which is the ancient and false accusation that Jews secretly murder Christian children as part of their religious rituals.
This anti-Semitic attack has resulted in countless pogroms and massacres through the ages.
Saint Sarah, it seems, is now comparing herself to one of those martyrs.

Learning to Sound One's Barbaric Yawp!
In Section 52 of Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," he writes:
The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains
Of my gab and my loitering.
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Whitman claims to be "untranslatable" in this moment of sounding his "barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world," and yet, he has struggled with connection with other individuals, nature, the universe, and himself throughout the poem. His barbaric yawp may be read as both an assertion of independence and an admission that as a poet he must connect in order to be identified and heard. Whitman's barbaric yawp is marked by tension as this poet comes to recognize himself, his position, and what it truly means for his identity when he takes a risk and makes his message public.
This collection considers the tension associated with helping students find their voices as communicators and make their messages public. In this context, tension should not be read as negative; rather, it points to a productive process of critical inquiry and the effort involved by both teachers and students as conditions are created for meaningful connections to be made and voices to be discovered and heard.
Five resources comprise this collection and range from presenting a national perspective on how to use digital literacies to help foster a process of critical inquiry towards the discovery of students' voices to a school-based perspective to three classroom-based perspectives. Paul Allison's resource series, "Authentic Conversations on Youth Voices," and especially Part II of this series, "What is 'Authentic Conversation,' " provides a national perspective on this process as he describes an ongoing conversation among National Writing Project teacher-colleagues across many years, states, and schools as they inquire into how best to engage students in a conversation and make the relevant connections necessary to help their voices to be heard.
The other four resources narrow the national conversation and provide a more focused look at how the emergence of voice may be fostered through school and individual classroom contexts. Linda Biondi's "Global Kids Online Leadership Network" describes a program involving twenty schools in high poverty areas in New York that focuses on leadership development, global issues, and civic engagement. The testimonials given by students in this resource attest to the power of critical inquiry and personal connection in order to foster voice. Dawn Reed's "Voice and Composition: Authenticity Through Digital Literacies," Amy Brosemer's "The Year-Long Projects," and Renee Webster's "Hearing Student Voices" provide a look into three classrooms, a high school speech class, a third grade class, and a first grade class, and the way that podcasting, filming, and digital voice recording help students to "see" and "hear" their voices in action and become better equipped to and interested in shaping these voices for conversation and consumption in the public sphere.
All of the resources in this collection use common language: conversation, collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, real world learning, engagement, active learning, respect, and confidence. All of the resources describe a process of critical inquiry supported by digital literacies that work through tension and resistance towards student confidence and expression. All of the resources provide stories of patience, persistence, and pride on the part of both teachers and students.
Virtual Classroom Drop In?
I am fascinated by your introduction and matching resources. I am inspired to use some of this content when I teach Whitman next year in my English 11 class. I was wondering if you could share any standards (state, content, common core) that helped guide this work. I can see a strong link with your resources and Common Core Writing Standard #6 and #8. Also, I am interested in how it works in your classroom. How do students react? What student strengths and weaknesses did you discover in this approach? :0) I look forward to sharing this in my building team and with the preparation program at our university partnered with our writing project site.
barbaric yawp
I actually disagree with you just a tad on this. While I do agree that Whitman wanted to speak out and be heard and also wanted others to do the same. His reasons for doing so include a more sociological issue that most educators and critics are afraid to talk about due to a lack of maturity in many students. As a 43 year old teacher living in today's times, I'm not afraid to discuss sexual orientation and do believe that Walt Whitman was gay. His poems make this rather obvious to me, and I therefore believe that he was closeted due to his era. Homosexuality was certainly an unspoken thing in the 1800's; he would not have been a well respected poet had this information been known. Allen Ginsburg wrote openly about his sexual orientation due to it being more accepted during his lifetime.
Again, this is just an opinion regarding Whitman's motivations for writing, and he is 'untranslatable' due to the times in which he wrote. He intended to be that way, using the majority's ignorance in his favor and to their disadvantage. I believe he hoped to reach out to others like himself, hoping for some sort of community development if you will. His poetry, in my opinion, was absolutely ingenious. BTW, not all of his poems were about this subject matter. He was nowhere near as obsessed with it as Ginsburg. Although, his era may have precluded him from being so. But wasn't that part of my point?
I often teach students that there are two meanings behind a poem: literal and figurative. Obviously, we will never know what was truly in the mind of someone who wrote over a century ago. But isn't trying to figure these things out actually what makes reading poetry fun?

You are here
Paris, 20 years later. I spent the day walking around the city, as my friends had not yet arrived. I did not remember specifics from my last visit over 20 years ago. I was so happy to find blue skies and cool weather! This was the first time I'd ever seen such a clear beautiful day in Paris, at the Eiffel Tower. It's amazing how old this city is, and this monument that stands out in French history.

About MeHi! My name is Kelley.
Come on in and take a look around. All comments, tags and messages are welcome!!
Live in Columbia, South Carolina. I'm interested in modeling work, although it will not be a career. When younger, I did a bit of modeling in Colorado. I love having my photograph taken and am excited to build a portfolio. I always love meeting new people. I find myself loving the opportunity to express myself with this form of art. My experience is limited but I do work hard to accomplish the goals of the photographer. I enjoy the great outdoors and I enjoy studio modeling too. You can count on my full enthusiasm and participation. Lead and I will follow. I'm prompt, professional, and fun to work with.
No tattoos or piercings (even ears).
Nudity - maybe some implied. Always tasteful and artistic - definately not pornographic in any way.
Photographers - consider contacting me.
(1) your contact information
(2) a brief description of the project
(3) shooting date, times, and location
(4) what you would need me to provide for the project in terms of makeup, hair and/or wardrobe
My availability is most week-ends. You can contact me here.
I am open to many different types of opportunities...just ask.
I am also prompt and courteous - I am 99% on time - actually, I am usually early. If I even think I'll be 5 minutes late, I will call you. I follow up, I confirm, and I never fail to credit the photographer.
To prevent any confusion, I am happily married. I'm not here for hook ups and parties. I'm here to do a great job for those I work with and work for.

We attempted to stay at this hotel last night. If you like very loud parties and staff that does not care at all, this is your place. There was so much noise in the halls and the staff was rude when we called about it. I thought I was calm and asked simply to be moved to a different floor. They would not move us. They did not come up and ask anyone to quite down. We called several times. At two am I asked to be allowed to leave and get our money back. They said no. At three am the doors were still banging and the shouting was as bad or worse. I asked to speak with a manager, who was very very rude to me. She did, however, allow us to leave and get our money back. She treated me like I was the bad guy. I don't know if the walls are too thin or the doors need to be thicker, but if you are a light sleeper, you won't get any sleep here.

Address of Pastor Jim Tolle
The Church On The Way
Van Nuys, California
As an Evangelical Christian and a Faith-Community leader in Los Angeles, I ask that the Dream Act be passed by Congress without further delay. To not do so, would be un-american and unchristian.
My friends, this is a moral and spiritual issue which is facing our society. Although it is also a legal challenge, the moral and spiritual nature of this topic far transcend the other considerations. We must do everything in our power to "do unto others as we would have them do unto us!"
We are Catholics, Protestants and Evangelicals who are gathered here today. We are also Jewish and Muslim, Hindu and Buddhists. We are of every type and stripe. Yet our collective conscience must be guided by these biblical words, "do good unto all people."
To put this in perspective, our undocumented immigrant student population knows nothing other than the American experience which you and I take for granted. In a sense, they also take it for granted. Afterall, they were brought here as children. They do not know the country of their parents. We should not … we must not deport them, as is happening at this very moment to a second-year student at California State University in Northridge, who is also a member of the church which I pastor and a student to whom I have given scholarship monies.
Andrea is a young woman who came to these shores as a child with her parents, who were seeking political asylum from the dangers of guerilla warfare in their native land. Other than the immigration issue, they have been model residents. Today, the father is detained in jail awaiting deportation. Andrea and her mother have also been arrested. Although Andrea has been released, she is under court order to leave the country immediately. By the way, Andrea is a dean's list student.
Students like Andrea have excelled! They have achieved success due to their hard work and the very competent help of teachers and administrators. They have been living out the essence of the American dream. Yet, as a country, we are disregarding their achievements by not passing the Dream Act. We must understand that they have no real future without it. They do not have a future here, nor do they have a future in the country of their origin where they know no one.
In a very real way, we are also taking the heart out of this country which was wonderfully created by the immigrants of every previous generation, who were afforded the dignity and opportunity to dream the American dream.
We cannot disregard and limit the future of this country by not passing the Dream Act. We must not take hope away from our students. The Bible states clearly "when hope is taken away, the heart of the people becomes sick." We must not "sicken" our country; we must not hinder the future of the great nation by further inactivity. To do so would cause us to run the risk of creating a subclass of people and minimizing their worth as God's children.
It is in the best interests of our country, whether we are Democrat or Republican, to pass the Dream Act. Presidents Reagan, Clinton and Bush all understood the specialness of the immigrant's arrival to our shores and the many benefits which they bring with them. They all were champions of immigration reform.
In conclusion, please inform and influence your friends; please reach out to your elected officials; by all means, please pray; and in the words of Jesus, "please love your neighbor as yourself" for they were "created in the image of God." Let's let hope cause us to dream. Let's let hope make us healthy!
God bless America and God bless you!

Source: [1]
Douglas Leahey is an environmental consultant in Calgary. Leahey's main focus has been in the area of gas flaring in the oil and gas sector. According to his resume, Leahey has been an expert witness for numerous oil companies such as Syncrude Canada Ltd, and Petro Canada on air quality issues relating to Alberta tar sands expansion. [1]
Doug Leahey is the past president and director of the Canadian climate change skeptic organization "The Friends of Science" (FOS).
In an August 2006 Globe and Mail feature, the FOS was exposed as being funded in part by the oil and gas sector and hiding the fact that they were: [2]
There was plenty of money for the anti-Kyoto cause in the oil patch, but the Friends dared not take money directly from energy companies. The optics, Mr. Jacobs [founder of the Friends of Science] admits, would have been terrible. This conundrum, he says, was solved by University of Calgary political scientist Barry Cooper, a well-known associate of Stephen Harper. As his is privilege as a faculty member, Prof. Cooper set up a fund at the university dubbed the Science Education Fund. Donors were encouraged to give to the fund through the Calgary Foundation, which administers charitable giving in the Calgary area, and has a policy of guarding donors' identities. The Science Education Fund in turn provides money for the Friends of Science, as well as Tim Ball's travel expenses, according to Mr. Jacobs.
And who are the donors?
No one will say. "[The money's] not exclusively from the oil and gas industry," says Prof. Cooper. "It's also from foundations and individuals. I can't tell you the names of those companies, or the foundations for that matter, or the individuals." When pushed in another interview, however, Prof. Cooper admits, "There were some oil companies."
Stance on Climate Change
Leahey is a signatory to an open letter which declared:
"Global climate changes all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural 'noise.'" [3]
Key Quotes
"A critical mass of science shows the Kyoto Protocol is built on a faulty assumption; that CO2 is a dangerous pollutant. The Federal Government is prepared to spend almost $10 billion in a problem that may not exist. At the same time, Canada is causing real damage every day with lead pollution – a substance that has been known for generations to be a serious health hazard. It's time to put the brakes on Kyoto, and accelerate the cleanup of real pollution." [4]
Key Deeds
March 4, 2008
Leahey is a signatory to the Manhattan Declaration which was presented at the end of the Heartland Institute's 2008 International Conference on Climate Change. [5]
The Declaration states that "Global Warming is not a global crisis," that "there is no convincing evidence that CO2 emissions from modern industrial activity has in the past, is now, or will in the future cause catastrophic climate change," and that "all taxes, regulations, and other interventions intended to reduce emissions of CO2 be abandoned forthwith."
September, 2007
FoS released a 2005 video titled Climate Catastrophe Cancelled. Their 2nd edition was released in September, 2007. The FoS website describes their video as follows:
Contrary to claims that the science of climate change has been settled, the causes of the past century's modest warming is highly contested in the climate science community. The climate experts presenting in the video demonstrate that science is quickly diverging away from the hypothesis that the human release of greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide, is having a significant impact on global climate. "There is absolutely no convincing scientific evidence that human-produced greenhouse gases are driving global climate change," stated climatologist, Dr. Tim Ball. He added that the Canadian government's plan to designate carbon dioxide as a "toxic" under CEPA is irresponsible and without scientific merit. "Carbon dioxide is a staff of life, plain and simple. It makes up less than 4% of greenhouse gases and it is not a toxic."
The video features prominent climate change skeptics including Tim Ball, Sallie L. Baliunas, Ross McKitrick and Tim Patterson. According to SourceWatch, costs recovered from the U of C for "video production" in 2005 amounted to $80,731.
April 2006
Leahey is listed as a signatory of the 2006 open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper. The letter, titled "Open Kyoto to Debate," urged inaction on climate policy while debating the existence of climate change. [3]
FoS released a radio ad campaign in late 2005 that featured ads denying the existence of climate change.
The first ad denounced the One-Tonne Challenge:
"You've been told about global warming, right? You know, take the One Tonne Challenge, turn down your heat and cool the planet. But have you been told the truth? Are you really causing global warming? Find out: watch our video at friendsofscience.org."
The second ad discussed what FoS considers global warming myths:
"Here's an easy true and false quiz. Ready?
- Global warming has caused more violent weather worldwide.
- The earth is warmer today than in the last thousand years.
- Carbon dioxide is dangerous pollution.
If you said yes, you've been misled. Get the real answers at friendsofscience.org, then ask your MPs why they want to spend billions on global warming theories."
According to SourceWatch, the ads were funded by Professor Barry Cooper of the U of C's research fund and partially supported by donations funneled through the University's Science Education Fund. [6]
Friends of Science (FoS) — Past President and Director.
According to his resume, Leahey has been an expert witness for the public board of numerous large oil and energy companies including: [1]
- Shell Canada Ltd.
- Mobil Oil Ltd.
- TransAlta Utilities Corporation of Canada Ltd.
- Canterra Energy Ltd.
- Panther Resources Ltd.
- Inverness Petroleum, Ltd.

The strongest tournament in England for a great many years was staged by TGRs bridge club last weekend. The teams were auctioned to the highest bidder, with the top sides fetching prices of £3,000. The achievement of the winners was nothing short of miraculous – they didn't sell for thousands, they didn't have a world champion in their ranks, they played the simplest of bidding systems and yet they lost only one match. Maurice Esterson and Richard Selway play almost no tournament bridge nowadays, while Arild Rasmussen and Kenneth Skov are seasoned tournament players, but this was only their second outing as a partnership.
With one match to go, the Esterson team could be overtaken if Janet de Botton's players beat them by a significant margin. North-South vulnerable, dealer North:
At both tables the auction was the same: two passes to South who opened a strong no trump, a Stayman inquiry by North, a reply showing spades by South and a conclusion in 3NT by North. That was rather irritating for the Wests, who knew that South had long spades and North had long hearts, which didn't augur well for an attack in either major suit. For De Botton, West put his faith in the 10 of diamonds – East had not doubled North's Stayman bid of two clubs. No doubt East was pleased with his partner's choice since it had found his own best suit – but declarer was more pleased with it, since when East went up with the king and returned a diamond, South now had three tricks in the suit. Clubs provided three more, and in the end game declarer took a further three in the majors for 600 to Esterson.
At the other table, Rasmussen for the winners preferred to attack with the six of hearts. East put on the ace and returned the suit, setting up two quick winners in the West hand. South tried the clubs, but they didn't break. He exited from dummy with a heart, hoping that West would be endplayed. West wasn't – he had a safe diamond exit, and when in desperation South took the spade finesse, he went three down and lost 14 IMPs in the process.

So I have done a search on this topic and only found the solution of a bad clutch sensor. (For those that don't know what rev hang is, it in the hanging/increase in rpm when the clutch is pushed in to shift gears).
My cars cruise didn't work when I got it so I installed a new one and cruise worked afterwards (which if the sensor was no good, it wouldn't).
I'm sure I'm not the only one with this happening to them, so what are other people doing to solve it?
Thanks in advance!

Rarely, if ever, can one of the most mundane words in the English language have been used to such devastating effect. After two hours – at times it seemed like two days – of Sir Brian Leveson's interrogation, chairman John Whittingdale finally let the select committee's licensed bovver boy, the BBC-hating, liberal-baiting, Tory MP Philip Davies, off the leash.
Why had he done nothing about the conflict of interest in his junior counsel's relationship with a hacking victims' barrister? Because, Leveson explained with icy patience, he hadn't known about it until 13 March, four months after his report was published. "You hadn't heard any rumours about it before then?" Davies persisted. "Nothing at all?" No. "Really?" At which point a steely-eyed Sir Brian, staring straight at the MP, simply said: "Pardon?" And repeated it in case Davies hadn't heard. "Pardon?"
Davies swiftly changed tack. Unsurprisingly, since with those two short syllables Sir Brian conveyed with terrifying clarity the outrage felt by the country's senior Lord Justice of Appeal and head of the Queen's Bench Division at a casual insinuation that he might have told less than the whole truth. Unfortunately this was the only electric moment.
When, seven minutes in, Whittingdale, deploying all the courtesy that had eluded Davies, asked Sir Brian if he thought royal charters were good for press regulation, and he replied "I'm afraid we may have hit a red line," explaining – at length – that as a judge it "would be quite wrong for me to comment on what is now a politically contentious issue", there was a case for calling a halt to the whole thing.
Sir Brian was well aware, of course, of what Whittingdale called the MPs' "frustration" that he could give them all the answers they wanted except the one they wanted most – who he thought was right in a conflict in which all sides were promoting their own Leveson formulae. "I've become used to becoming an adjective rather than a noun," he quipped. When the Tory Tracey Crouch started one question "So you're saying…" he said sharply "With great respect" – a Leveson favourite this – "I'm not saying anything." He was referring to a tricky allegation about press-police relations, but it neatly symbolised the whole session.
Which is another reason why that "Pardon?" will resonate long after the rest is forgotten.

But the Spartans do have something positive to take into the matchup. San Jose State stayed close to the visiting Wolf Pack (25-5, 13-1) on Feb. 11 before losing 76-70. SJSU battled back from a 13-point second-half deficit to tie the game, and the Spartans trailed by only three points with about three minutes to go.
Czyz helped Nevada turn back the threat as he scored 23 of his 27 points in the second half.
"We had a chance at the finish," SJSU guard James Kinney said after the game. "We just couldn't get over the hump."
That's often been the story of the season for the Spartans, who lost their regular-season finale, 70-64 at home to Idaho. The Vandals made 16 of 22 free throws in the final four minutes.
"We've been in this spot so many times when we've had a chance," coach George Nessman said.
Carter among four seniors honored
--San Jose State honored four players on Senior Night on March 3 -- F Wil Carter, F Garrett Ton, C Matt Ballard and G Calvin Douglas. Carter has been the most productive of that quarter, averaging 13.0 points and 8.7 rebounds in the regular season while being the Spartans' only reliable offensive threat in the post. "He likes to go over his left shoulder, very athletic, very vertical," Utah State coach Stew Morrill said of Carter. "He can make a face-up jumper, but not really his strength."
--San Jose State has lost 20 of its past 21 games against Nevada, which swept this year's regular-season meetings.
--It's hard to win when you rely on the outside shot as much as San Jose State and then you don't defend the interior very well either. The result is that the Spartans rank last in the WAC in field goal percentage (39.7) and last in field goal percentage defense (45.1).
BY THE NUMBERS: 74.9 -- San Jose State's free throw percentage, which led the WAC in the regular season. The Spartans' primary guards all shoot very well from the line, led by James Kinney, who was at 84.7 percent (61 of 72) in the regular season.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "We've done a lot of things right. We're not playing badly, but we're not playing well enough to win. The gap between those two is not very big. It's a couple of mental errors, a couple of missed assignments, and we have been plagued with that in many games this year." -- San Jose State coach George Nessman
--vs. Nevada, WAC Tournament quarterfinals, March 8
KEY MATCHUPS: This is just a tough matchup for the Spartans, who have to find a way to check Nevada post players Olek Czyz and Dario Hunt despite being the worst rebounding team in the WAC and being able to count on only Wil Carter down low. Czyz and Hunt each had a double-double when the teams last met on Feb. 11. San Jose State's hope is to hit some outside shots and keep the turnovers to a minimum; the Spartans turned the ball over only nine times in two games against the Pack this season. G James Kinney combined for 42 points in those two meetings.
FUTURES MARKET: San Jose State, in need of big men for next season, has offered a scholarship to Daddy Ugbede, a 6-foot-7 forward from Gardena (Calif.) Serra High School. Ugbede recently helped Serra win the Southern Section Division 4AA championship game over La Verne Lutheran High. Ugbede helped get Arizona-bound Grant Jerrett (a McDonald's All-American and arguably the best player in the state) into foul trouble, and Ugbede took advantage by scoring 32 points.
--Senior F Wil Carter finished the regular season with a double-double -- 12 points and 12 rebounds vs. Idaho. He enters the WAC tournament having averaged 17.0 points in his past six games. He also had double-digit rebounds in each of his past three games.
--Junior G James Kinney has been the Spartans' top 3-point threat, making 86 of 210 attempts (41.0 percent) in the regular season. Guards Keith Shamburger, D.J. Brown and Calvin Douglas also launch plenty of shots from behind the arc, although none made better than 33.3 percent in the regular season.

This is the heartbreaking picture of a baby abandoned in a New York subway station.
The 10-month-old girl was found in a buggy on a platform in Manhattan yesterday.
Police issued a picture of the baby and asked for help to identify her.
They said she was last seen with a woman in her 20s.
Today a woman was arrested in Central Park on suspicion of abandoning the child and told police she is homeless and felt she could no longer take care of the girl.
The woman was still being interviewed today and has not been charged.
Police said she pushed the baby's buggy onto a subway platform and then got back on a train.
The mother has told detectives in a preliminary interview that she is from North Carolina and came to New York last week.
She says the baby's father died recently.
NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis said the woman claims she thought she was leaving the baby in a "safe space".
The baby girl is said to be in a healthy condition.

Hey friends,
I'm nearly done finishing my second flash game, and am looking for people to beta test it and give me some feedback. So the two basic things I'm looking out for at this point are
1) Technical issues - Does the code break at any point? Bad programming?
2) Gameplay issues - Does the gameplay make sense? Does it need more elaboration? And finally, is it fun at all?
It's basically a game in the style of Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego, Geography Trivia except concerning current events and some satire.
Please help me out to make the game the best before I put it out there.
You can discuss below, PM me, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Chronic diseases are those conditions that can be managed but not cured. Chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes, arthritis, dental disease and HIV, are major causes of disability and death for Oregonians.
Combined, heart disease, stroke, cancers, diabetes and chronic lower respiratory diseases account for more than three of five deaths in Oregon each year. For Oregon, as a whole, 61 percent of adults have at least one of the following chronic conditions: arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or stroke. And a startling 89 percent of Oregon adults have at least one of these risk factors: current smoker, overweight or obese, physically inactive or consume too few fruits and vegetables.
From this page you can learn more about chronic conditions in Oregon and gain access to public health programs that deal with prevention, management, data and statistics of these chronic diseases.

The Fiskars Axe X-series
The Fiskars company was founded in Finland in 1649, and has been forging products in iron and steel for more than 360 years. Over the years, one of the company's specialties became blades and cutting tools, and today Fiskars orange-handled scissors are some of the most famous and best-selling household tools in the world.But Fiskars is equally well-known for another type of cutting tool - the venerable axe. Axes have been used to cut, split, chop and shape wood for thousands of years. (They've also been used extensively in battle, but fortunately most of us have given up that particular application and focus our axe-swinging on logs!)
Anyone who has ever used an axe can tell you that the quality of the design and manufacture of the tool makes all the difference in terms of getting the work done. Fiskars X-series axes are consistently rated among the best available on the market – in fact, the X-series earned the 2010 International Red Dot "Best of the Best" product design award in the garden category. And like other Fiskars products, Fiskars axes don't simply copy traditional tool design. Instead, they are completely re-thought from the ground up, designed for extreme performance, delivering increased power at impact, cutting up to three times deeper into the wood with each stroke, and making each and every swing count. X-series axes feature optimal weight distribution, and an ultra-sharp blade using "cutting-edge" blade geometry. And each X-series axe is designed and manufactured to be virtually indestructible.
The X-series includes a variety of sizes and weights, one of which is sure to be right for whatever cutting job you have at hand, whether you need to cut up kindling or fell large trees.
On one end of the spectrum are Fiskars X-series hatchets and small-to-mid-sized axes. These tools are designed with chopping – cutting a usually horizontal log into separate pieces using a series of sharp, downward strokes – in mind. Fiskars axes designed specially for chopping include the X5, which comes in at 8 inches in length, the X7 which is 14 inches long, and the 23.5-inch X15.
Larger axes are most often used for splitting wood – which ideally consists of cleaving a vertically-positioned log in half with a single stroke. Larger logs, and notably, larger axe-men, generally require a larger axe, and the X-series also includes a range of implements just for these situations. Tools in this group feature heads and handles designed specifically for splitting. Models in this group include the 17-inch X11, the 23.5-inch X17, the X25 which measures 28 inches in length, and the granddaddy of the line, the X27, which comes in at 36" long.
So whether you need a compact tool to get the campfire going on your next camping trip, or you're staring down a few cords of large logs than need to be cut down to size for your winter wood supply, the folks at Fiskars have a top-quality, high-tech, award-winning X-series axe that is just right for the job.

Date of Stay: July, 2010
For the few nights we stayed at Cody's, everyone made us feel like family. Really helpful! The owner and manager went above and beyond making sure we had an enjoyable stay. The pond site we had give us a lovely few each and every morning and it was nice to see the owner and manager personally taking an interest in the campers, unlike some campgrounds we had been at in the past. Jeff informed us that they are planning a lot of updates coming in the near future to the campground and we will be back to see them.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
Although our kids loved the campground, it was a pleasant experience for the grown ups. The owner is a really nice guy, just an old cowboy at heart and an all around great guy. One thing on the down side is that the internet connection was not the best in the world. Some days it would be working great and others you simply could not log on.

About Francie Nguyen:
Originally from Chicago, Francie Nguyen started her career working at the Windy City landmark retailer Sears. A year later, another venerable Illinois-based company, Spiegel catalog, offered Francie the position of Assistant Buyer in the Designer Department. Here, she worked with top designer brands including Calvin Klein, DKNY, Norma Kamali, and Ralph Lauren. A promotion to Men's Athletic Buyer soon followed, giving her the chance to partner with top brands like Reebok, Nike and Adidas.
The merging of Spiegel with Newport News gave Francie the opportunity to transfer to New York City, where she became Product Manager for Newport News catalog. In this role she traveled extensively, sourcing products throughout Europe and Asia, with frequent trips to China, Hong Kong, Korea and Paris. It proved to be great preparation for her next position as Director of Merchandising in the Ready-to-Wear Division, where she continued to crisscross Europe for market buys and shows. During this time Francie developed and launched an upscale fashion catalog called Cami.
Francie's next career move had her team up with Redcats USA, where she developed and launched their first ever plus-size intimates catalog. She then took her extensive knowledge of retail and catalog merchandising to Delia's, gaining expertise in the teen market. This lead to an exciting opportunity in Philadelphia as General Manager of the direct business at Anthropologie, where she acquired tremendous insight into successful internet marketing.
Finding herself missing New York, Francie jumped at the chance to return to the Big Apple to launch Spiegel's first retail store. Then an irresistible opportunity presented itself: to head up all the brands at Hanover Direct.
Currently, as President of Hanover Direct, Francie oversees such noted brands as Silhouettes, The Company Store, Company Kids, Domestications and UnderGear.

After reading in The Windsor Star about the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board awarding various amounts of money to those that have been victims of crime, I had to shake my head in disgust.
While the victims deserved every penny received, they are all still suffering from the pain inflicted by common thugs and will suffer for years to come. Some victims may never be well enough to live the life they enjoyed before their ordeal.
In the meantime, most of the punks that committed these crimes were handed out pitiful mild penalties. The convicted will move on. Some to commit more crimes while others will put it all behind them and chalk it up to just a bad day, or "I was young and stupid."
Sorry, I don't buy it.
Is it too much to ask from our judicial system that these offenders be made to pay for their actions for the same amount of time their victim suffered?
I can hear them now, the criminal lawyers shouting out in court how this kind of action would be cruel and unusual punishment, not to mention inhuman.
And they would be right. Ruining a person's life is cruel and inhumane but why should the victims have all the fun?

**Updated on 20 Nov at bottom
Recently, a girlfriend whose child attends an ESF school in a different catchment area told me Rockstar's name had come up with another mutual acquaintance. Hearing of the apparent encounter between Rockstar and a little girl on the playground, purportedly him having been blunt and hurt her feelings several weeks ago, I vow to ask him to say something nice to her – especially since she seemed to have been upset enough that this apparently made it to the other school and back many weeks later. And so when he got back from school…
Me: Hi darling, how was your day?
Rockstar: It was ok, it was good <shrugs>…
Me: Did you see (aforementioned little girl) on the playground today?
Rockstar: Nope…
Me: Oh…. Well do you think you can do me a favor please?
Rockstar: Yeah, what?
Me: I think she might be a bit upset by stuff you said to her awhile ago <Rockstar gives me a puzzled frown>, d'you think next time you bump into her on the playground you could say something nice so she knows it's not that you don't like her?
Rockstar: <thinks for moment> I'll try, but I've never seen her on the playground.
Me: Well, if you could just – wait. You've never seen her?
Rockstar: Nope. It's very hard to see her, and I also want to find (his favorite friend.) And her class is far away. I know because I asked her what class she was in when we were going to the school bus(es).
Me: You've never seen her on the playground? You didn't see her pick up an eraser off the floor on the playground?
Rockstar: What?
Me: Did you see her pick a pencil eraser up off the floor in the playground?
<Rockstar shakes head disinterestedly>
Me: Anywhere? Ever?
Rockstar: Hmm?
Me: You didn't tell her keeping the eraser was stealing? And then say she was lying after she said she would, but then didn't try, to return it? (You can see why it hadn't occurred to me Rockstar didn't do it, him being Mr Anal And Everything Has To Be Black Or White)
Rockstar: <thoughtfully> The only thing I've said to her is "What class are you in?"
Me: Well… Anyway next time you see her can you say something nice?
Rockstar: <seriously> I could say "Good Morning"… But it's very hard –
Me: To catch her on the playground – yes, you said….
Which is when I finally remember hearing sometime back that there is another boy in their year with the same name as Rockstar's. Even their family names sound similar enough that sometime back when we were applying to primary school the two boys had also gotten mixed up briefly…
Me: Remember you told me you met Other Rockstar? What does he look like, does he look like you?
Rockstar: Oh, quite different. He looks nothing like me – he looks quite Korean.
I want to ask Boy, What You Think You Look Like Ah? Oh wait, I did. He said…….
Not Korean.
Me: What "not Korean".
Rockstar: Not Korean. I don't look Korean.
Me: Uh… Do you think you look Asian?
Rockstar: Yeah. Just not Korean.
Me: What Korean/ Not Korean?? What's the "Korean" look??
Rockstar: <patiently> Not like me. <later on, looks at my screen> Are you typing that? (He doesn't think it's interesting)
Sigh. At some point you just decide to stop talking. Anyway it would appear people sometimes mix Rockstar up with another boy at school…
ps: I finally got out of him that by "Korean" he means have "Asian eyes" with the single eyelids. Apparently he doesn't think his eyes look like that…..
pps: Had Rockstar told the other girl off he would probably have responded to my asking with a What's Wrong With That attitude… He accepts full punishments for misdemeanors (for now anyway) – for e.g. when he was supposed to finish an IXL math module before watching Lego videos on Youtube while I walked the dog and then didn't finish the module, (I would later discover there was something he hadn't understood after I left him with the laptop, and then he'd gotten bored), he gravely accepted that in future I wouldn't ready the Youtube for him til after he had finished schoolwork (i.e. added inconvenience of waiting til I get back with dog), and that he would have to do an extra module because I was annoyed he hadn't finished. In fact, he volunteered the extra module.
But it's kinda hard to explain to the proverbial little girls with erasers so I'll take "Good Morning" while trying to preempt any harsh judgements…
**UPDATE: Rockstar came home from school and told me he had done it. Told the girl off about the eraser. So it wasn't Other Rockstar, it was my Rockstar. Who had forgotten (also not paid much attention when I tried to talk to him about it at first) til he'd gone back to school and seen her somewhere, and then realized on the playground he had encountered her once before the school holidays (yes quite a long time ago). AND he still thought the eraser thing was wrong, "She's quite nice, except for that one time she was a little naughty…" So I did the whole "technically it's wrong, but you could have helped her find a way to return it (lost & found box or something), instead of getting all puffed up and telling her off" speech I originally intended.

UNIVERISTY OF RICHMOND - Mike O'Toole, long time member of the Touchdown Club of Richmond, has been selected as the 2013 recipient of the Bunkie Trinite Memorial Achievement Award, presented annually by the club to a person who has had an impact on the sport of football in the Metro Richmond area.
O'Toole will receive the Achievement Award at the annual 51st All-Metro Football Banquet on Thursday, January 23, at the Hilton Hotel in Richmond. In addition to O'Toole, the Banquet will also honor the high school All-Metro Football team as selected by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the high school and college coaches of the year as selected by the Touchdown Club, and the high school team Sportsmanship Awards as selected by the Central Virginia Football Officials Association (CVFOA). The banquet is organized by the Touchdown Club of Richmond.
O'Toole has been a member of the local football booster group for over 20 years, having served as its president for six years, 1996 - 2002, and remains the longest tenured president in the club's 51 year history. He was instrumental with organizing the annual All-Metro football banquet and served as the banquet's Master of Ceremonies for 13 years, 1998 – 2010.
When the Downtown Club of Richmond dropped its sponsorship of the Dudley Award, O'Toole worked with then Times-Dispatch sports editor, Jack Berninger, to create a partnership between the newspaper and the TD Club to sponsor and continue the award which is presented to the top Division I collegiate football player in the state. Then, when a state award was created for the small college Player of the Year, O'Toole worked with newspaper editor Danny Finnegan to name the award for NFL Hall of Famer, Willie Lanier.
A native of Pennsylvania, O'Toole has spent over 30 years in the Metro-Richmond area working in the sports and entertainment industry. He now works for the University of Richmond Athletic Department as its Coordinator of Facilities and Events, rooting for his favorite college football team, the Richmond Spiders.
The banquet which will be attended by over 500 people is open to the public and will be held at the Hilton Richmond Hotel, 12042 West Broad Street, in Short Pump. Tickets cost $35.00 and may be purchased by calling Ron Axselle, 804.740.7055.
The Touchdown Club of Richmond is a sports-social organization founded to promote the best interests of the American game of football and sports in general, under the guidance of elected officers with the predominate purpose being to recognize worthy athletes for their accomplishments and to encourage them to continue their education and athletic careers.

|Home > World News > Article
For the first time, Ms Dardenne described how Dutroux manipulated her and made her believe that her parents did not want her back. Describing how she was kidnapped while cycling to school, she said she was forced to swallow Rohypnol, a sedative, and was then smuggled into Dutroux's house in an iron box.
"He tied me to the bed with a chain around my neck," she said. "I stayed there for two or three days. He came up several times. I saw nobody else."
She was later imprisoned in a cubbyhole behind a false wall in the cellar. It contained a mattress but little else. She said Dutroux had pretended to be her friend. "He tried to pass himself off as a kind person who had saved my life.
Apparently, I was going to get myself killed or be caught by someone else. Someone more senior - the boss - who wanted to hurt me and wanted money from my parents. But apparently they did not have enough or did not want to pay. I wondered what I had done to my parents for them to withhold the money. I asked myself many questions, but I believed him. I swallowed his words."
Ms Dardenne said she was deprived of her own clothes, given cold leftovers to eat, and could only wash when Dutroux decided. She had a bucket for a toilet. "I had a jerrycan full of water to drink. So I had to choose: to wash or to drink. I read my exercise books which remained in my satchel, and I wrote to my parents describing my days."
Dutroux had promised that he would post the letters, but instead used their contents to manipulate her, faking replies from her mother. Investigators found Ms Dardenne's letters under Dutroux's carpet.
Although she had originally planned to keep quiet until the trial began she decided to speak out after media speculation about her mental health.
At least one commentator claimed that she was given so many drugs to make her forget her abuse that her testimony would not answer the question of whether Dutroux acted alone. But Ms Dardenne insisted yesterday she was only drugged once - on the day of her kidnapping. Her memory, she said, was crystal clear and aided by the fact that she kept a diary of her experience.
Ms Dardenne wants to show Dutroux that she has rebuilt her life. But she is waiting for justice to be done: "He must pay."
A pre-trial committal hearing is scheduled for next month.

I went to HD today to get some mis-tint paint. They had several cans of interior eggshell/satin for 5-7 dollars in the white to cream color scheme. I was tempted to get one but I'm not sure the interior would hold up. The only exterior paint they had was a rusty red flat paint. So, is it okay to use interior paint or will I just be repainting in a year. Will red be too dark and make the hive too warm?
On my way out I noticed Behr had a Barn Paint in white and red which was "oil-latex." http://www.homedepot.com/buy/behr/1-...int-45646.html It says it is livestock safe. Anybody used this before?

Wind, Solar, and Biomass Provide All New U.S. Electrical Generating Capacity in January 2013!
According to the latest "Energy Infrastructure Update" report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office of Energy Projects, 1,231 MW of new in-service electrical generating capacity from wind, solar, and biomass sources came on line in the United States in January 2013. This shows a nearly three-fold increase in generating capacity compared to January 2012, when wind, solar, and biomass provided 431 MW of new capacity. Wind accounted for the largest share of new capacity in January 2013 with six new units providing 958 MW followed by sixteen units of solar, and six units of biomass. Renewable energy sources now account for 15.66% of total installed US operating generating capacity, while there is no new generating capacity reported for any fossil fuel or nuclear power sources. Once again renewable energy sources are dominating the electrical generation market. SUN DAY Campaign Executive Director Ken Bossong states, "And once again, their rapid expansion demonstrates that the U.S. can meet its future energy needs without resorting to dirtier sources such as nuclear power or the Keystone XL pipeline."

Google has just announced on its blog the launch of redesigned YouTube channels in "limited beta."
The new channel design features "channel art:" YouTube's take on the Facebook or Google+ cover photo, which similarly sits behind a creator's profile pic; and "channel trailers:" a way for YouTube creators to promote their content to non-subscribers.
While the new layout doesn't force an attractive design on creators, it does provide them with a chance to own their channel and make it beautiful (or hideous). The flexibility YouTube offers is equivalent to a Google+ profile. In fact, the new YouTube channel is quite similar to a Google+ profile, further confirming how closely Google plans to embed its social offering into the popular service.

RealSelf Patient Reviews of Christopher J. Kovanda, MD
"…I have much to smile about and that smile looks great!"
A few years ago I experienced a traumatic injury that could have ended my life but instead left me with a serious and difficult facial wound. Prior to meeting Dr. Kovanda I thought I'd spend the rest of my life feeling insecure about my appearance and dodging any camera within sight. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Kovanda for beautifully restoring my face. What he did for me was truly amazing! He was a joy to work with and because of his remarkable skills I have much to smile about and that smile looks great! Thanks Dr. Kovanda!!
Forever grateful,
"You have made me feel like I could never have imagined!"
Hello, I wanted to take a sec and Thank you!!!!!! You have made me feel like I could never have imagined! You have the best job ever! Bringing people so much joy. i am so happy with my choice to stick with you. You made me feel so comfy! Thank you Chris!!!! I will surely recommend you to anyone in the future, and come back to you for any future work. LOL tho Nick says NO MORE. There are still a few things that may come:) Wish you peace and happiness always!!!
"Thanks for helping me look my best."
The botox is looking great! Thanks for helping me look my best. You're the greatest.
"I'm so Pleased I chose to have you do My surgery!!"
You did an amazing job, I can already see:):) "I'm so Pleased I chose to have you do My surgery!!" I will recommend you To anyone I know..Thank you so much!!
"You Really Have A Gift"
I wanted to thank you so much for all you have done for me. It may seem second nature to you, but you really have a gift and you have changed the lives of so many people. Not only in my own experience, but in looking at your before and after gallery – wow, have you changed lives! I just thought it might be nice for you to hear it in case you don't often enough. A positive self image is something that I have struggled with for most of my life. More than helping me with making physical changes to my body, your kind and supportive words and lovely "bedside manner" have had a positive impact on all aspects of my being. How do you say thank you for that?
"I am proud to refer Dr. Kovanda whenever I have an opportunity"
Very few of us have the name of a plastic surgeon ready to call in case of emergency. In 2005, my oncologist referred me to three qualified doctors; I chose to see Christopher Kovanda first simply because we share the same initials! Six years later, I can thank Dr. Kovanda for putting me back together too many times to count, through two breast cancer diagnoses and numerous reconstructive surgeries. Because of Dr. Kovanda's expertise, professionalism, and compassion, I have been able to achieve results that make me extremely happy. I am proud to refer Dr. Kovanda whenever I have an opportunity.
"Every Interaction Was Life Changing"
..on a very personal level: I feel SO strongly about the work you do & the way you do it. Furthermore, reconstructive surgery has given me & many people I care about their lives back… I can't imagine being in a more rewarding situation! …It brings to mind the experience working for 4+ years at the cancer center. Every interaction was life changing; for both patients & staff alike! You can't fake that kind of passion and compassion – it's there or it's not!…Do with that info what you are able & wish to. If nothing else, sleep soundly at night & take great pride in knowing you make a huge impact in your patients' lives! You definitely have a cheerleader in me!! …Thanks for all you do.

Aurora teen hit by car, dropped off at 7-Eleven
AURORA, Colo. - A 14-year-old girl walking to school Thursday morning was hit by an unknown car and then put into the blue sedan and driven to a nearby convenience store, Aurora police told our sister station in Denver, 7News.
The teenager was crossing Colfax Avenue at Laredo Street and the lights were in her favor when she was hit by a southbound car and knocked down, said Aurora police Lt. Chuck DeShazer.
Police spokesman Frank Fania said the girl could not get up and may have been in shock.
The driver picked her up by her coat and put her in his car against her will, DeShazer said.
The man then drove east, made a U-turn, went west, made another U-turn then dropped her off at the 7-Eleven on Colfax and Laredo, not far from the accident scene, police said.
Police don't know if he had the intention of taking the girl to the hospital but think he panicked and did not intend to kidnap her.
The girl suffered bumps and bruises, but was taken to the hospital by paramedics because she is a juvenile and her parents weren't there.
This occurred around 6 a.m. Police are now searching for the hit-and-run driver but have not released a good description of the driver or his car.
Fania said the case is being turned over from the traffic unit to the Crimes Against Children's Unit. He said officers are working to get a copy of the video surveillance from the 7-Eleven.

Ever wanted to see a group of plugins with similar functionality go at it in a head to head battle? BattleOfThePlugins.com does exactly that except the visitors decide with their votes as to which one is the best. The plugin with the most votes is considered the champion of their respective category. You can probably guess what the problem is. The best plugin is not decided on functionality, code quality, compatibility, etc. Instead, it's decided upon by votes which in my opinion, makes the site and the winners useless for anyone who may be looking to find out which SEO or site analytics plugin is the best. However, what the site does is show the community who has the most popularity when it comes to plugins and especially, plugin authors. So, a little bit of fun can be had in a site like this but for anyone seriously looking for the best, this site won't help you find it.
