I just recently purchased a small quantity of stamps from the Kenmore Stamp Company. Nothing wrong with the stamps and service, except for the envelope of approvals that was included in my order. I did not ask for them and I don't want them. I sent them straight back.
My question to the forum is..... Is this normal practice? If I order from other mail order retail stamp outlets, am I likely to be sent more approvals?

You don`t need to send them back. You didn`t
ask for them! Let them come and pick them up
or send you a SASE.

If they send any more I will do that. They did include a return envelope without postage. Maybe I should use their own stamps to return the envelope.

I am sure that if you read the fine print, you will see that they told you that they would send items for your examination and purchase if you wanted them. I get offers all the time for what would actually be good deals if it did not include approvals.

Be sure that you did not authorize in any previous correspondence with them for them to send approvals. If not, in the United States (only country I am knowldgeable about), if a company sends you something you did not request and you cannot return it without expense, you can treat it as a gift. Thus, if there is no return postage, it is a gift. If there is return postage and you cannot simply put it in your mail box (e.g., you would have to take it somewhere to mail - which is an expense to you - you can treat it as a gift.

Let me make one more comment on this topic. If the original offer had, even in small print, a notice that you were going to be sent approvals, then you can't treat them as a gift. I think you may be asking for trouble if you do not return the approvals. As stampvirgin said, there will be a return envelope. Whether or not it includes return postage, I do not know.

I checked with a lawyer friend. The key to this is whether or not there was an "agreement" before receiving the item(s) that such "approval" items would be sent. This would make the offer solicited. Otherwise, the recipient has a right to refuse to accept delivery of the goods
and is under no obligation to return the items EVEN IF RETURN POSTAGE/PACKAGING IS INCLUDED. Unsolicited items are deemed as a gift and the recipient may keep, use or dispose of in any manner.
Many stamp vendors will send an ad or post an ad which in very fine print will state "approvals included". If you buy the item, then you have agreed to the approval. But if you buy the item and clearly state to the vendor that approvals not agreed to, then the company cannot include approvals - but they can refuse the order.

That's right. Also if you noticed they too know this too and on the first few orders they will only send very low catalog value stamps (with a HUGE markup and normally have flaws). I been dealing a very little bit with Jamestown Stamps and since I bought a stamp here or there the selection is getting a lot better but it seems the condition of said items are usually deplorable and have told them that but despite everything they continue to send them because the bottom line is I buy stuff, albeit few and far between but I have. I don't mind in fact I actually enjoy looking through them. The last bunch they said on the invoice was valued at 299.00 +/-. I made darned sure I returned it pronto! lol The condition of the big stamp company's wares is terrible and overpriced in my opinion. Education is the key when dealing with the devil.

Thanks for all the advice. I checked the Kenmore web site and went through a dummy purchase. Did not see any mention of agreeing to accept approvals. Anyway, I sent them back in their self addressed envelope, though I had to use my own stamp.
I made it clear on the enclosed form that I did not want anymore approvals sent to me. If they sent more then I shall just treat them as a 'gift'. Mind you they do have my CC details on file, so they could just charge me for them if I don't return.
we'll see what comes in the mail next.

Just because they have your cc on file does not make it legal for them to send you unsolicited items and then charge you. Don't fall to such tricks used to get your money.

This happened to me last year. I made a ill-advised purchase from them for something I couldn't find right off hand and was rather impatient about it. In the order I also received an approval card with about 25 stamps in roughly the same category of what I ordered. Along with it was an envelope (way to small to send the stamps back), but large enough for a check. I sent the envelope back with a printed piece of paper that said thanks.
Two weeks later I got another package from them with more stamps. This time about 15 stamps, but much larger stamps from various African countries. Same thing again... small envelope nothing to send the stamps back. I did the same as before and then they stopped coming to the house. I got a letter from a collections company about four months later stating I had received stamps on approval and failed to pay for them. I sent a nice letter to the collections company with my attorneys business card and a statement that I did not ask for the approval cards nor did I want them. I also sent along with this letter a printout made by my attorney about laws regarding the sending of unsolicited items and requiring payment for them. Needless to say I never got another call from them or another package in the mail. I did manage to review their purchasing agreements again and in the in really really really fine print is a statement about getting stamps on approval after a purchase.

Two thoughts...
These big, old-line dealers have been doing this long enough that I would assume that they have their fine print in order before thinking about keeping anything as an unsolicited approval (or "gift"). Maybe a person does on occasion have them on a technicality, but I would not assume it. (And the stamps a person would be keeping are rarely worth the expenditure of time and effort necessary to be sure of your position.)
Second, even though I don't patronize the big companies, and don't really agree with their business models, it might be bad stamp karma to play these sorts of games. After all, we're all stamp people. A note back with the returns, saying "STOP! Send some again and I'm keeping them!" at least puts them on notice.
A corollary to this is, does a person really want to correspond with collection agents, or (for APS members) run the risk of being reported as a non-payer and having to respond to the inquiry? Yes, I know a few people who
like to spend some time in those dialogues, but...
My 2d.

I agree with the majority of responses, but I'd approach it a bit differently. If I received unsolicited stamps "on approval" ... and there may be an occasion when I would miss that text written into some agreement, I would kindly send the FIRST batch back along with a letter canceling the service and reminding the company that any approvals received after the date of this letter will be regarded as a gift and therefore no payment will be made and no demand can be made by your company under law.
That usually takes care of the problem.
[edit] Back in the 1970's when I was a young stamp collector and approvals were a big thing, I was made wise to some of the approval services that I didn't want, and when I saw an offer for something I wanted and no approvals were mentioned, I sent for it and along with payment included the phrase "I understand that no approvals will be sent under this offer." Most of time it worked, however, I recall once I received a very nasty letter back from a seller stating that how rude it was that I make such rules to them and they sent my money back with the unfilled order. Needless to say, I never used that firm again.

Wow WT1, I wish I knew you back when I was into approvals and went through the approval mill myself.
I usually just wrote Please Cancel Approvals on whatever paper invoice they sent and sent that and the stamps back, but I like your way much better.

Public employers are confronted by four interrelated workforce problems. Budgets are under severe stress. There is pressure to raise performance levels. The workforces are aging and losing talent though heavy retirements. And labor markets are tight: Qualified employees in a growing number of job families are scarce, and that is driving up pay levels.
Less immediately pressing but endemic to government's reality is the prevalence of civil-service laws enacted long ago; a history of stable organizations that have experienced comparatively little change; disconnected pay and performance systems; human-resources policies and systems that are not responsive to labor-market trends or organizational problems; and resistance to change from unions, employee associations and some elected officials. In many jurisdictions elected leaders as well as appointees have little, if any, meaningful experience addressing workforce problems.
Given the fact that government is the institution requiring equal pay and that public-sector salaries are often publicized, one would think that women would be better off as civil servants.
Think again.
President Donald Trump's "tweet-egations" about massive voter fraud -- claiming that about 1 in 40 ballots were fraudulently cast in last year's presidential election -- are as well known as they've been thoroughly debunked. An extensive post-election inquiry of state election officials did find a few scattered examples of suspect ballots, but on a scale closer to 1 in 1 million. And most of those ballots were likely cast by mistake, not with fraudulent intent.
As former secretaries of state -- an elected Democrat from Oregon and an elected Republican from Washington state -- we were responsible for our states' elections. We worked closely with our respective states' election administrators (also of both parties), and we know what an outstanding job these officials and their staffs do to ensure the integrity of our election process. We're convinced that true voter fraud is exceedingly rare and almost always inconsequential. However, there is one problem with our election systems that does deserve more of our collective attention: the inordinate number of outdated and duplicative voter-registration records.
It's that time of the year, when new college graduates are job-hunting. Since the recession, the year-to-year increase in the number of new bachelor's degrees has averaged roughly 2 percent. Meanwhile, surveys of private-sector employers show that they plan to increase hiring between 5 and 10 percent each year. That imbalance will continue to push up salaries, making it harder than ever for government to compete in the employment marketplace.
For the foreseeable future, public-sector staffing shortages are inevitable, and the only short-term answer is requiring costly overtime or raising pay levels to attract qualified applicants. In the long run, if hiring new staff remains difficult, public employers need to adopt practices to boost employee productivity.
Having a diverse workforce can pay off -- literally.
According to the Harvard Business Review, "a 2015 McKinsey report on 366 public companies found that those in the top quartile for ethnic and racial diversity in management were 35 percent more likely to have financial returns above their industry mean." There's no reason to believe a similar phenomenon wouldn't be true in the public sector.

What are the odds this case will be dropped, or he won't get the 5-25 years he is being told he will get. It will be his third felony, none were domestic violence charges.
The answer to your question depends upon a lot of factors, including what are the facts of the case and how good is his attorney are just 2. The first thing that I would suggest is that he hires a competent local criminal defense attorney to help him fight the case.

No lawyer can evaluate your fiance's chances in trial on avvo. There is no way to get a full picture of the case here.
Does he have a lawyer? if so, that is the person who needs to be evaluating the chances for winning the case.
BTW, the penalty range for a third degree felony is 2-10 years prison and up to a $10 thousand fine. With one prior final felony conviction, it would be 2-20 years prison and same fine. With two prior final felony convictions, one after the other, it would be 25-99 years or life in prison, no fine. Serious stuff. If your fiance does not have a lawyer yet, he sure needs one.

An explosion occurred at the construction site of the Hoyt Park pool in Wauwatosa yesterday afternoon sending two people to the hospital.
The exact cause remains under investigation, but a welding accident may have occurred in the basement of the pool building, Deputy Fire Chief James Case said.
Wauwatosa Fire Department received a call at 2:50 p.m., and two people were taken to Froedtert Hospital with injuries considered not life-threatening, he said. The project was turned back over to the contractor, but a visit from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration may follow.
Construction crews have been working to renovate the historic poolhouse and build a new community pool, dubbed Tosa Pool at Hoyt Park, which is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend.
Case said any damage from the explosion "doesn't appear that it would drastically impact the schedule of the project."

New 42m vintage superyacht from Codecasa
For years it has been deemed that looking back at past styles can be seen as a restraint on innovation. However, more and more often these days, the past has become the main source of inspiration. Codecasa have borrowed a term from the oenological field, Vintage, a word that has been coined to refer to the wines of the best years. readmore

The Truth About Loch Ness —
Greg Atkins (or someone calling themselves Greg Atkins) has created a website,
, in order to expose an incident he claims occurred on the loch during filming of Werner Herzog's upcoming movie,
The Enigma of Loch Ness
. He says that one of the production company's boats was rammed by something in the water (could it have been Nessie!!!), resulting in the death of two of the crew. All this has been hushed up, of course, which is why there were no news reports of…

Stephen Hawking is on the Mic —
You may know Stephen Hawking as the brilliant theoretical physicist and best-selling author of
A Brief History of Time
. But did you also know that in his spare time the man is a gangsta rapper? Perhaps you're familiar with his album,
A Brief History of Rhyme
. Hawking's other career as a 'lyrical terrorist' is lovingly explored on this fan site,
MC Hawking's Crib
. Yeah, it's a hoax, but it's amazingly detailed, even including MP3 samples of Hawking's songs. (And thanks to Bill Boldt for…

Afterlife Publicity —
As Gawker reports
, a great 'take-this-job-and-shove-it' email has been making the rounds recently. It's penned by Bob Rubenstein, a publicist for a record label, who lost his job soon after the lead singer of the band he was supposed to promote,
, died of a heart attack. Bob, embittered for being fired, dishes some dirt on the company he was canned from, revealing how they brought in a psychic to talk with the departed spirit of the singer to see if he'd be willing to do any…

Katz, Cohen & Phelps —
Are you a woman who needs a really good divorce lawyer? Then check out the law firm of
Katz, Cohen & Phelps
where their motto is "Is he cheating? Let's nail him." Actually, that's
not really a law firm
. It's just another fake website used to promote an upcoming movie, in this case
The Laws of Attraction
starring Julianne Moore and Pierce Brosnan. In this case, it's a really half-hearted attempt at a fake website. I mean, that's obviously Julianne Moore posing on the website, and they…

Petition to Stop the Godsend Institute —
I talked about the Godsend Institute (the website of a cloning lab that's really a promo for an upcoming movie of the same name)
a few days ago
. I said that I really didn't think the site was that convincing. But maybe others have been fooled by it because someone started an
online petition to ban the Godsend Institute
. Of course, I'm not above suspecting that the petition was started by the movie studio itself as a way to generate faux controversy. This was a favorite ploy of P.T.…

Godsend Institute, and other movie sites —
A few people have written to me about the
Godsend Institute
, which is supposedly a Massachusetts fertility clinic that offers human cloning as an option for its patients. Its website is quite slick and well produced, but the Godsend Institute is, of course, not real. The site is part of the advertising campaign for the
upcoming movie
starring Robert De Niro.
Wired published an article
about this yesterday. Ever since the
Blair Witch Project

Reality TV is Rigged —
Keith Hollihan lives downstairs from an apartment that was featured on an episode of
The Apprentice
. The show's contestants were challenged by Trump to renovate and rent the apartment (as well as other ones throughout the city) for the highest price possible.
Hollihan writes about
how after the show was done, he got to know the new renter and discovered from her that the rental price she had agreed to on tv was a sham. It was far higher than the price she actually paid. In other words,…

New Zealand Rapper MC Emu —
On the Fighting Talk weblog journalism student Patrick Crewdson gives
an example of how hoaxes can make the leap from being fiction into becoming fact
. He once edited a journal called
that published a joke article about "New Zealand's least-known musician": rapper MC Emu. Of course, MC Emu was fictitious, but now references to this rapper have begun to appear in serious histories of New Zealand music... references that seem to credit MC Emu with being a real character.

Actor Wanted, Preferably Dead —
A British theater group is auditioning actors for a part in its next production. But there's one catch. They're only interested in people who can promise that
they'll die before the play begins its run
. Your body, if you get the part, will then lie lifeless on stage. Evidently it's not a speaking role. It's hard not to suspect that this is all a big publicity stunt and that when the time comes there will be no body on stage. Wouldn't you need a license for something like that? It…

The X-Files of Music —
Did you know that David Duchovny released a record of trashy love songs with titles such as "Alien to Your Arms," "You Must Be From Venus," and "X-File of Love"? Or that Herman Melville wrote a novel called "Symmes' Hole" that was lost for decades but has been recently rediscovered and is now available as an audiobook read by David Byrne of the Talking Heads? I certainly didn't. So I was surprised to discover these rare CDs (and others) discussed at the

Kingdom Hospital —
Kingdom Hospital. It's the 'Hospital that brings out the best in you.' From
its website
you would think that it's a real hospital, until you start poking around it a bit. Then it gets creepy. It's a tie-in, of course, with ABC's Kingdom Hospital miniseries. But it's pretty well done. (submitted by Brian Flynn).

David Manning Update —
In 2001 Sony Pictures got caught promoting its movies by using glowing quotations from a non-existent movie critic named David Manning to hype them. When the non-existence of Manning was pointed out, Sony pulled the ads, but to this day it has maintained its right to have printed the quotations, claiming they were protected as free speech. Yesterday
Los Angeles Justice Reuben Ortega disallowed that defense
. His remarks were notable: [if the case against Sony succeeds]

Superbowl Overexposure —
Half of America saw Justin Timberlake

Matt Drudge is reporting
that it was planned and even approved by high-level CBS officials beforehand. Plus, the accidental exposure fit in remarkably well with the lyrics of the song, which made references to getting naked…

Antebellum Island —
The Onion

Hell on Earth's Suicide Stunt —
Hell on Earth promises that its concert in St. Petersburg this weekend
will include an onstage suicide
. A terminally ill patient will be the one departing this world. I guess if you wanted to go, doing it at a rock concert wouldn't be a bad way to do it, but in my opinion this is a pure publicity stunt hoax. In the same vein as

Two Towers Protest —
Two Towers Protest
: This group is protesting the fact that the second installment of
The Lord of the Rings
trilogy is named
The Two Towers
(despite the fact that Tolkein came up with this name some fifty years ago). They feel this might cause emotional discomfort to people following the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. I'm almost positive this was meant to be satirical. But its companion in spirit,
The Return of the King
Protest site, was definitely a satire. This second group…

Practical Joke Six Years in the Making —
Perry Caravello wanted to be an actor, and his friends told him he would be. In fact, they signed him up to play the leading role in a film they were making,
Windy City Heat
. Unfortunately for Perry, they weren't actually shooting a movie. They were just stringing him along, trying to figure out how long they could keep him believing that they were making a movie. He kept believing, for six long years, bolstered by an unshakeable faith in his own Star Power. Even though the friends…

Staged Bloopers —
You know all those real-life, caught-on-video bloopers and accidents that are the staple of shows like 'Funniest Home Videos'? Guess what? According to the
Hollywood Reporter
A lot of them are staged.
The market for bloopers has simply become too large to rely on accidental bloopers alone.

text: COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Century Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ Capital Market® and Vienna Stock Exchange: CNTY) announced today that its subsidiary Century Casinos Europe GmbH ("CCE") signed credit and management agreements with United Horsemen of Alberta Inc. ("UHA") in connection with the development of a proposed race track and entertainment center in Balzac, north metropolitan area of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The proposed project would be the only horse race track in the Calgary area and would consist of a 5.5 furlongs (0.7 miles) race track and a Racing Entertainment Centre, including a gaming floor proposing 625 gaming machines, a bar, a lounge, restaurant facilities, an off-track-betting area and an entertainment area. This Racing Entertainment Centre license is the only license still available in any metropolitan area of Alberta. This particular license application pre-dates the AGLC recently approved three-year moratorium on new Casinos and Racing Entertainment Centers, with an option to extend the moratorium for an additional two years. CCE has agreed to loan to UHA up to CAD 13 million (approximately USD 13 million based on the exchange rate in effect on December 3, 2012) for the exclusive use of developing the proposed project. The loan has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 800 bps, a term of five years and is convertible by CCE into a 60% ownership position in UHA. The Company intends to provide the loan to UHA with borrowings under the Company's Bank of Montreal Credit Agreement. Once the project is developed and operational and for as long as CCE has not converted the loan into a majority ownership position in UHA, CCE will receive 60% of UHA's net profit before tax as a management fee.

One of the best and honest articles written to find suitable tts
Wholeheartedly agree with the writter the advantages of one-to-one tutoring – that unparalled undivided attention given to a student provides the best benefit and growth in academics.
We all know that teachers in mainstream schools do not have the luxury of time to truly deliver lessons in the classroom with large class size and are just burdened by too many administrative (and unnecessary) work that has nothing to do with a child's academics.
The main thing i believe in tutoring is – diagnose weakness –> remediate weakness –> diagnose more –> remediate more –> repeat and repeat.
Probably a must read article for every parent looking for a tutor out there!
Anyways, i have a similar article and have not repeated the essential points in this page for an informal follow-up at tutoreducator.com/4-types-of-tutors-tips-in-finding-a-good-tutor/.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. Pontiac car, truck, or SUV enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their Grand Prix around town. Anyone who drives a Pontiac knows that when it comes to fixing their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do. While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Pontiac vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to maintain your car or truck.
Chassis flex is the enemy of a firm and stable suspension. To ensure your suspension prevents excessive roll during cornering, Pontiac Grand Prix sway bar links are attached to the stabilizer bar and the control arms. Without stabilizer links or a sway bar, the chassis would lose traction and understeer into each turn. This was an automotive technology that was pioneered about a hundred years ago on the race track, and now sway bar links have made their way to almost every production vehicle manufactured today; including your Pontiac Grand Prix.
Ordering new Pontiac parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the most superior original and aftermarket replacement Grand Prix parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a broken Sway Bar Link bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. Need 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967, 1966, 1965, 1964, 1963, 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Sway Bar Link parts?

"I talked to Kareem Crowell as soon as I got home to tell him about my visit," Francis said of his teammate and Scout.com three-star defensive tackle prospect.
"He told me that he had a great time on his visit," Crowell said of his discuss with Francis. "In fact, he said that he's going to make his decision to go there this week."
Crowell, who verbally committed to Auburn in September and visited Louisville in December, told InsideTheVille.com that his discussion with Francis persuaded him to call the Cardinals head coach.
"I just got off the phone with him," said Crowell. "We talked about them coming down next week."
In addition to the Louisville visit, Auburn - his other finalist – will also make an in-home pitch during the coming days, which could lead to the 6-foot-3, 285-pound Crowell's final college choice.
"Louisville is coming down to visit on Wednesday and Auburn will be here on Thursday," he said on Sunday. "It's down to those two and after those visits my family and I will discuss everything and then I'll probably make my decision next Monday."
Crowell added that the number of players on the Cardinals roster from the Tallahassee area, including former Godby teammate E.K. Sawyerr, may make the difference in his final decision.
"When I went up there for my visit I had a wonderful time and got along really good with the players," he explained. "Plus, they have a lot of guys from the Tallahassee area up there and one of my old teammates E.K. Sawyerr is there. Our other defensive tackle Frank Grimes is committed to going there."
Crowell also considered scholarship offers from Clemson, North Carolina, North Carolina State and others before narrowing his choices to Auburn and Louisville.

Tuff-N-Uff is going to extend your weekend entertainment with a special Sunday card "Tuff-N-Uff: The Future Stars of MMA" returns to Las Vegas' South Point Arena on Sunday, May 26, for the latest installment of its now-legendary nights of entertainment filled with high-paced MMA action, live music, free beer sampling and some of Las Vegas' finest BBQ for the promotion's one-of-a-kind "Festibrawl." "Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas has long been a special holiday for MMA fans, and we're happy to once again be a part of the festivities by continuing our partnership with South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa to present the brightest prospects in MMA today," Tuff-N-Uff president Barry Meyer said. "This Memorial Day weekend we'll have three championship fights, the return of Montel Williams Jr., free beer samplings, great BBQ and a DJ spinning throughout the night. It's going to be another incredible night of entertainment." The "Festibrawl" pre-party, which includes food, drinks and live music, starts at 5:30 p.m. The night's first fight is at 7 p.m. The "Tuff-N-Uff: Festibrawl" main event sees undefeated Tuff-N-Uff middleweight champion Dylan Jahrling (5-0) seek the first defense of his belt against former Tuff-N-Uff light heavyweight titleholder Khalil Rountree (3-1). Wand Fight Team product Rountree recently relinquished his 205-pound title and elected to drop down a division in hopes of adding another belt to his trophy case. He now meets House of Ryu's Jahrling in a fight that will determine one of Las Vegas' brightest future stars and give the winner bragging rights over his cross-town rival. In additional featured action, the vacant Tuff-N-Uff women's bantamweight title will be on the line as Utah's Jules "She Hulk" Winter (4-0) meets California's Jessica Martinez (2-3-1). Winter, who represents Utah's Hidden Valley Mixed Martial Arts, makes her Tuff-N-Uff debut as the reigning SteelFist Fight Night champion. She'll look to add the Tuff-N-Uff belt by downing Kings MMA product Martinez, who returns to the promotion for the first time since 2010. And in the card's third championship bout, nine-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran Shane "Biggs" Johnson (6-2-1) puts his six-fight unbeaten streak on the line in a 165-pound title defense against undefeated prospect A.J. Williams (2-0), a Syndicate MMA product who recently delivered a "Knockout of the Year" candidate with a high-kick stoppage of Sam Edwards. In a special welterweight attraction, two-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran and Xtreme Couture fighter Montel Williams Jr. (1-1), the son of legendary talk-show host Montel Williams, meets debuting TapouT fighter Jason Weyrich (0-0). In addition to the night's headlining contests, a full lineup of aspiring amateur fighters from some of the world's top academies — including 10th Planet Corona, House of Ryu, Kings MMA, Syndicate MMA, TapouT, UFC Gym, Wand Fight Team and Xtreme Couture — will compete at Tuff-N-Uff's May 26″Festibrawl." Tickets for the event, which start at just $25, are available by calling the South Point Arena Box Office at or online at SouthPointArena.com.

Why I Write by Mike Tetzlaff
Hello, Macc Writers returns today at 2pm in Macclesfield Library with a visit from author Michelle Green.
Below a member of our group tells us why he writes:
Why do I write?
Mike Tetzlaff
I write because I want to tell stories. So I suppose the next question is why do I want to do that? And the reason is simple; I love stories. So actually it's not a reason at all, it is in fact an irrational desire.
I simply love stories. But love is more than a feeling; there's got to be a decision to love even when the going gets tough. And of course commitment can be tough – and writing can take a lot of commitment. But the reward is worth it when stories reach as far as imagination allows and plumb the truths of humanity.
There is a kind of therapy in telling stories. A reshaping of past events, relationships, hopes and dreams perhaps unrealised. Embellished with the unknown, peril, conflict, monsters and then you have the perfect recipe, in my book, for an entertaining story. If it entertains, grips, then for me that is a story worth telling, and stories are meant to be told.

A poem by Richard
A Mind To
What a day
To have a broken heart!
Wind, cold as the grave,
Full strong from Africa
Flings fickle clouds across a cobalt sky.
She is loyal — still loves him,
So she will not love me even if she had a mind to,
And of this I'm not so sure.
Is it a brittle love? I ask,
So far away?
Daring to hope,
Praying for disharmony.
Unusual, she says,
But there is trust
And I will not betray his trust,
Even, if I had a mind to.
She looks at me and smiles
And I know I am defeated.
Had I not said two days ago,
As we walked towards the Mirador
That I would never love again?
Love, is vulnerability.
I have only loved the once,
And I will love no more.
What kind of fool says that?
And in the desperation of the final hour
That hastens our departure
Say that I could love her?
Well, enough of that, moy bien!
I say and joke, but it is said and
Leaves me looking like a fucking fool.
Bar closed, the last to leave,
I walk her home
Two hearts that beat;
Two very different rhythms.
Hours pass, sleep goes AWOL for the most part.
I wake to find my
Head still full of her.
I am powerless to expel her.
If I had a mind to.

Yeddyurappa on Friday, Jan 28 said, "if land is there you can offer it to anybody. My mistake is I allotted land to my son. If court takes a decision, let them take back the land."
The scam charges posed threat to Yeddyurappa's political career. However, he managed to convince the BJP top brace and continued in his post.
Yeddyurappa also slammed governor for giving permission to prosecute him and said, "he has converted the Raj Bhavan into a political party. I want to ask the governor sahib, What is your intention?"
Yeddyurappa said that Bharadwaj is a Congressman and he has sent to Karnataka with a specific mission by the Congress high command.
Yeddyurappa said that the governor neither sent him a notice nor called him to discuss about the allegations against him. He also claimed that since the very beginning he his acting as an Opposition leader and said, "I am ready to face the prosecution in court."

Systematic Theology
Full Product Description
In this best-selling textbook, each chapter begins with a clear definition of the doctrine under consideration and moves on to a thorough exposition of its basis in Scripture. Then follow questions for personal application which help to bring out the relevance of the doctrine to the life of the individual and the church; and finally, a hymn suitable for corporate use or personal meditation.
Controversial issues such as the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit, male-female roles in marriage and church, and the nature of final judgment are given a full treatment. Where he differs from other theologians, Professor Grudem is firm but courteous.
Wayne Grudem's warm, pastoral and practical approach to systematic theology has been widely appreciated. He demonstrates on page after page how important biblical doctrine is both for the spiritual health of the individual and for the well-being of the church at large.
Re-covered and reformatted August 2007.
Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem was published by Intervarsity Press in April 1994 and is our 2127th best seller. The ISBN for Systematic Theology is 9780851106526.

"Systematic Theology is remarkable for its extraordinary juxtapositions. It is penetrating but not confusing; forthright and unequivocal but not reckless or overstated; readable and clear but not superficial; biblically grounded, even biblically saturated, but not textually careless or glib; devout and reverent but not uncritical or na�ve; practical but not trendy or sentimental; comprehensive but not majoring on minors; a book for the church but not parochial or sectarian. I expect to turn to it for decades."John Piper, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

NEW YORK – From across the gym, Don Nelson heard his most beloved player's description of him and bellowed to Stephen Jackson, "Older white guy?" The Golden State Warriors' un-exiled star held his arms to his sides, palms up, as though stumped for a comeback. Jackson started laughing, his teammates roared too, and he finally barked back to Golden State's coach.
"Well, I didn't want to say old man."
Nelson doubled over in laughter, and here was the reason that Jackson is so indebted to him, why in a lot of ways he played the best basketball of his life for him a year ago.
"It's amazing that an older white guy understands me more than anybody I've been around in my whole life," Jackson said. "He sees through all the tattoos and all the stuff people say about me. He knows how I love the game."
Over the summer, Jackson was visiting friends in New York when Nelson called with a question that no coach had asked him since high school.
Did he want to be a captain?
For a moment, Jackson slipped into a goose-bumped silence.
"Coach," Jackson finally said, "you're going to make me cry."
No one had ever entrusted Jackson with so much standing on a basketball team, so much responsibility, and sure, maybe he had never earned it until now. Yet, the gesture of a part in a tri-captaincy moved Jackson, the 6-foot-8 forward, to the brink of tears. It wouldn't be long until he called his mother in Texas with the news and treated his buddies to a champagne toast.
"My whole day stopped," Jackson said. "It was like I just won a championship.
Funny, but it's easy to forget that Jackson knows what that feels like too, because he was the third-best scorer behind Tim Duncan and Tony Parker on the San Antonio Spurs' 2003 championship team. Maybe his jagged NBA career would've gone smoother had he taken less money and re-signed in that protective San Antonio cocoon, but the contract details never did work out. If you want validation as a winner in this league, though, it comes from no higher authority than the Spurs dynasty, and general manager RC Buford swears by Jackson as a coachable player and a trusted teammate.
"He's a natural leader," Nelson said. "You want your players listening to him. I made him captain for a selfish reason: It makes my job easier."
Yet, no one remembers Jackson, 29, for his title run in '03, but those two lost nights as an Indiana Pacer when he barreled into the stands with Ron Artest in Auburn Hills in 2004 and later in 2006 when he fired a gunshot into the sky in the parking lot of an Indianapolis strip club. That trigger pull earned him a felony pop, and inspired the best thing to happen to Jackson's basketball life since his season with the Spurs. He would go to the Warriors in January, where Nellie plugged him into the lineup of a serial loser and watched his relentless, wiry game play an immense part in resurrecting the franchise. With the Warriors as an eighth seed, Jackson averaged 22.8 points and defended bigger, stronger players on the way to slaying the No. 1 Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference playoffs.
Between then and now, though, there was a summer of 100 hours of community service in Indianapolis that he completed with a bright, mature disposition. "He really used it as a life lesson, and not something to be bitter about," Golden State GM Chris Mullin said. The NBA suspended him for seven games to start the season as punishment for the gun felony, and the Warriors would lose six of those games with Jackson able only to play cheerleader and mentor in practices.
"It was killing me not to be with the team," he said. Still, he returned Sunday night in a victory over Toronto to start the Warriors' five-game Eastern trip, and make no mistake: Golden State's a profoundly different team with him. So far, Nelson and Mullin have marveled over how seriously Jackson has taken his tri-captaincy with Baron Davis and Matt Barnes. No one had ever shown such belief in Jackson, and the Warriors hierarchy understands that what once had been one of his fatal flaws – loyalty – could turn into one of the forces for change in his life.
They gave him ownership in these Warriors, greater consequences beyond himself for screwing up, and Jackson embraced the burden.
"This makes me think more now," he said. "It gets me thinking about leading more by actions than word.
"Whatever I do, I think about my team first and how important I am to them."
So, Jackson promises to steer clear of those wild tantrums that always get him technical fouls and ejections, those moments of temporary insanity that have haunted him most of his life. As a gift from Baron Davis, he's reading John Maxwell's, The Difference Maker: Making Your Attitude Your Greatest Asset, and trying to understand how to funnel his fury into Good Jack instead of Bad Jack.
At practice Monday in Manhattan, you could see Jackson's presence – his charisma, his charm, his energy – resonate in the gym. As Jackson talked on a sideline bench, Davis, stuffed inside a steel basketball cart, wheeled his way to Jackson's feet and started crooning love song lyrics.
"We're all back together, all silly again," Jackson nodded with a laugh.
These Warriors had a remarkable run late last season, and they're trying desperately to recapture it at 2-6. For Jackson, it starts with letting go of so many old demons and avoiding old traps. He knows people want to call him a thug, and he knows those who've grown to know him through the years insist that his essence defies all those simple stereotypes.
"Stereotyping is so easy these days," Jackson argued on Monday. "If people know anything about tattoos and the bible, the bible says that the body stays in the dirt and your soul goes to heaven. So our body is just a shell. So if people know anything, they'll know that tattoos are just art."
Nevertheless, Jackson has done damage to his image with his own destructive deeds. Mostly, he's been his reputation's own worst enemy. He should be one of the game's great success stories, a kid who didn't play in college, bouncing through outposts in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, LaCrosse and Fort Wayne, before gaining his footing in the NBA. "Hey, I'm one of those guys who tried out for just about every NBA team before I got a job," he said.
Someday, Stephen Jackson wishes that people would see him as an American success story, and maybe that's still out there with the Warriors now. Rest assured, it wasn't for his public image that he had his newest tattoo carved into his chest this summer, but his own peace of mind. Beneath the 'C' on his uniform, there are two praying hands holding a gun near a church window.
To Jackson, this was his past and future meeting in the middle of his body.
"It wasn't to bust balls, but it was a tattoo for me," he said. "I swore to myself that I'll never be in an incident again. I was just praying to God that I'll never have to use a gun again. It's just something that I want to help me when I want to think about where I came from, and where I am now. I'll just have to look at that tattoo and remember to keep a level head."
After all, the Warriors' old white guy sees beyond the tats and cornrows and bad history, and Don Nelson believes in Jackson. He's a captain now. This is his team, his time. Stephen Jackson can't screw it up again.

Q I spend a lot of my time at work on my feet. Where can I find shoes that are comfortable but don't look orthopaedic? I hate trainers but need something soft and good for my feet. Please help!
A Ballet pumps are the best solution.They're in every shop on the high street and they come in every colour, material and finish (from patent leather to ponyskin) as well as a variety of styles (pointed or rounded toe, Mary Janes, etc) and widths. But pumps can be very flat and therefore offer little support. So make sure you drop in a pair of Dr Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles (they cushion your feet and absorb impact and shock) or Tri-Comfort Orthotics (supports that relieve pain in your arches and lower back). They will make your pumps feel like slippers.
Alternatively, try Marks & Spencer's Footglove shoe range (recommended to me by a florist who spends all day on her feet); the soles are flexible and very lightweight. Prices start at £35 for loafers, £70 for boots.
Q When my partner and I marry in June, my son will be 15. He's worried about what to wear. The wedding will be a weekend party in an old manor house which has been converted into a youth hostel. Could you recommend a striking outfit for a teenager who likes to be trendy, but never shops? He's very slim, but not tall.
A At 15, I'm sure your son has a definite idea of his image and probably isn't easily cajoled into wearing just anything. He may not know what he does want to wear, but I bet he knows what he doesn't want to wear. My advice is to treat him like an adult. If most guests will dress formally, then suggest a suit. It's a useful thing to have, and even if he doesn't wear the jacket that often, the trousers will have plenty of use.
Fortunately, slim teenagers look great in inexpensive clothes, so opt for an affordable high-street suit. Head to a trendy store that he likes: there are good suits at Topman, Zara and River Island. Team it with a simple T-shirt and sporty leather shoes so he stills looks young and trendy. If you go for softer fabrics, the suit will feel less formal, and far removed from an old man's suit. Go for any colour but black; grey is always a winner. And enjoy your wedding.

University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, San Antonio, TX
Many pre-lung transplant recipients with end-stage lung disease are at high risk for lung cancer. Evidence of lung cancer has been considered a contraindication to lung transplantation mainly because of the risk of dissemination secondary to immunosuppression post transplant. Experience is therefore limited on how patients with carcinoma progress post transplantation. The purpose of this study was to assess the frequency and spectrum of lung cancer found incidently at time of pneumonectomy for transplantation at our center.
We reviewed the charts of all lung transplant recipients at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. Patient demographics including age, sex, indication for transplant, and smoking history were collected. Explant pathologic reports and pre-transplant radiographic studies were evaluated.
There was 232 lung transplants performed on 229 patients from 11/1987 to 4/2005 (37 bilateral and 196 single). There were 120 males and 109 females. Mean age at time of transplant was 50 years. Five recipients (2.2%) were found to have carcinoma in the explanted lung. A significant increase in the proportion of smokers and women in the recipients with carcinoma was found. There was no radiographic evidence of possible neoplasm on CT Scan within 6 months prior to transplant or on chest radiograph on the day of transplantation. See Table 1.
Discovering previously undetected neoplasms in the explanted lung of transplant recipients is an uncommon phenomenon. Although many recipients listed for transplantation are at high risk for lung cancer (diagnoses of emphysema and usual interstitial pneumonitis), those at highest risk are those who also have a significant smoking history.
Patients listed for lung transplantation often wait for greater then two years for a graft. The evaluation including chest radiographs and CT scans are often performed prior to or at the time of listing. In patients who are at highest risk for developing primary lung carcinomas, repeat CT scan screening should be considered shortly before transplantation.

Data of Five Lung Transplant Recipients With Undetected Lung Carcinoma

Writer's Block
I wrote this over a span of around 2 weeks, so you can see the difference in the stanzas... It's not my best work, just putting it up randomly :)
A blank page,
Inviting me to unwind;
To let the ink flow;
To show the world what I am capable of.
But stagnation blocks these capabilities,
My pen, poised over the paper,
Refuses to traverse the harsh landscape,
As lines become barriers,
Paper takes the shape of mountains.
My mind is full of thoughts,
Swirling inside like agitated waters
Cooped up; a dam of questions and ideas.
I just hope that this dam
Bursts soon; it may cause destruction,
But all it will destroy
Are assumptions and limitations.
I must confess now,
That I can write no more.
I finally give up
After what seems an eternity
Of waiting;
Waiting for the ideas to flow.
But these ideas are stubborn things,
That do not work according to my will.
So I must now place my pen aside,
For I have succumbed to, I admit,

Thank you for your question. Muscle tightening plication sutures are the usual for tummy tuck, not the exception. I'm not quite sure I understand the question. Are they better for tummy tuck as compared to what? The Plication sutures repair and tighten the tummy by bringing the muscles back together that have separated, usually from pregnancy.
Are Plication Sutures Better for Tummy Tuck?
Doctor Answers 4
In almost all tummy tucks, there are 2 parts of the operation. The first part is to remove the excess skin
that is due to weight gain and/or pregnancy. The second part is to tighten the muscle by plicating the
fascia (the very strong tissue that surrounds the muscle). This is necessary because the fascia, as well as the
skin, has stretched, allowing the internal organs to push outward creating a pot belly. This requires placing strong sutures thatgo back and forth to pull the muscles back together. This will flatten your abdomen. It can also giverelief to low back pain since the abdominal muscles work together with the back muscles to support
the spine. There may be an occasional case that doesn't require this.
Abdominal wall plication (stitches) in tummy tuck surgery
Plication (stitching) of the abdominal wall muscles during tummy tuck surgery is an important aspect of abdominoplasty, offering the best chances of obtaining a flat appearance to the abdomen. Suturing of the muscles in the abdominal wall, ( muscles that may have separated with pregnancy, weight changes etc), offers an 'internal corset' and provides for a nicer result. In a few patients, their abdominal muscles do not require any tightening and therefore plication may not be necessary.

Tummy Tuck and Plication?
I think you are referring to abdominal wall plication sutures that are used to re-approximate the rectus muscles that have spread with pregnancy and/or weight gain/loss.
For most patients who have had pregnancies and/or weight gain/loss, the plication of the abdominal wall muscles is an important part of the tummy tuck procedure. This reapproximation of the muscles tighten up the abdominal wall so that there is little to no "bulging" even when a patient is bent over. This plication also serves to bring in (narrow) the waistline.
I hope this helps.

I have to say leaving for Survivor was sooooo much easier. When I went there it was with the clothes on my back and my passport which I turned over like a 10 year old.

... a set of travel scales to weigh the bags.. For dinner it was TGI Fridays, with Dan and I reminiscing of eating at this restaurant in London on Christmas Eve 1994. I had a cheesy risotto served on a hot skillet plate with shrimp, Gracie a cranberry and pecan salad, Hams stuck to some chicken and Dan tried the pasta. Tom just for something different, had a cheddar, bacon burger!

So we pay extra since we are on holiday, but the minigolf isn't anything special. The Lego models around here are good though, and both William and Miranda try the knight's jousting ride (just a horse going around on a track), and Miranda and I try the "Knight's destiny" ride - which is actually two seats strapped to a ...

Although the park was crowded, it wasn't nearly as packed as Universal Studios had been and so when we decided to have lunch it was very easy to find a shady table and enjoy the meal (or, in my case, two meals - due to a slight communications issue, or possibly my short term memory problems, when Jill went to the Greek takeaway ...

We roll into La Jolla, park and walk around for several hours. It's a cute tiny town on the water (albeit on the VERY upscale side). On the rocky shore, lots of sea lions, pelicans and a variety of birds lounge around while tourists snap pictures.
As all of the bird and people watching is tiring, we grab ...
