Barbara Walters tired of celebrity interviews
By Christine Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Barbara Walters, famed for celebrity television interviews that often draw on-screen tears, says she's tired of Britney, Paris and the tabloid trend she helped create.
Walters, a pioneering journalist who became the first female U.S. network news anchor 30 years ago, has interviewed every U.S. president since Richard Nixon and other heads of state. More recently, she has been credited and criticized for soft interviews that elevated celebrity news above all else.
Now, before her annual show, "The 10 Most Fascinating People," airing on ABC on Thursday, the 78-year-old television journalist said she wants to focus on other topics.
"I am not going after the tabloid stuff, I don't do it," she said in an interview.
She said her latest special did not consider Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, abandoning the "week in, week out, competition for getting the next name, the next person out of rehab."
Instead, expect to see former President Bill Clinton, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, two founders of the Internet network "My Space," and controversial radio host Don Imus.
After years of chasing exclusives on her old ABC newsmagazine show "20/20," Walters says she is tired of trying to compete with the tide of celebrity news.
"It seems to permeate most of the tabloids and the magazines and now you have six or seven entertainment programs," she said. "You didn't used to have that. Continued...

The nervous systems can initially be divided up into the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord and drugs that modify the central nervous system are considered as a subject in systematic pharmacology (therapeutics) section. Everything neural, other that the central nervous system, can be considered peripheral nervous systems. The peripheral nervous systems can be divided into the autonomic(involuntary) nervous system, which is the system that performs without your conscious help, and the somatic or voluntary nervous system, which you can consciously control(Figure 7.1). In addition the autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems...

I didn't know many of the people there, but I had an excellent time getting to know a couple of gals around me over a hodge podge of yummy Thanksgiving foods.
I left so full that I can't suck in my tummy.
But more importantly, I left smiling.
The past few months have been a bit of a roller coaster for me. For once, I'll admit it out loud... things kind of sucked for a while because of a boy who was surprisingly and unnecessarily mean to me. And I can't say that I am not still bothered by it, but time marches on... and even though I thought he was a great guy for a while and deep down still believe that he probably really is a great guy who just didn't act great for a while... it's not worth it to keep thinking on it.
So I've forced myself to think and talk about the whole ordeal as little as possible.
And then killed a bunch of my running PRs.
Sure, it still bugs me how things went down with him. I still hate that so much is left unresolved.
But there are too many other things in my life to keep smiling about... like jumping into last minute 200-mile relays with 11 strangers and leaving it with family, including one new friend who is quickly becoming a bright spot in my days... and waking up on rainy mornings with a sweet kitty cat curled up close to my chest to stay warm... and good friends who invite you to eat way too much at Maggiano's instead of going for a run... and good friends who welcome you into their home for an early Thanksgiving... and upcoming marathons.... and Christmas.
I could keep going.
My point is that I've been a little less than myself for a while now. I'm never capable of being 100% me when I'm a little blue. But I'm remembering tonight that there is much to be happy about in my life, even if there is still one unhappy thing.
Sometimes it comes from turkey and sweet potatos and laughter over dinner.

IMEMC & Agencies: As dozens of Palestinians marched in Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, marched marking the 20th anniversary of the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre, and demanding Israel to open the Shuhada Street, closed since then, Israeli soldiers violently attacked them injuring 15, while dozens suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.
[Hebron Protest: pbc.ps]
The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) has reported that the soldiers also kidnapped five Palestinians, including Badee' Dweik, member of a nonviolent group known as the Youth Coalition Against Settlements.
Thousands of Palestinians participated in the nonviolent protest, and marched chanting for the liberation of Palestine, the release of all political prisoners and the removal of Israel's illegitimate settlements in occupied Palestine.
They also chanted slogans against the ongoing Israeli crimes and violations against the Palestinian people, their lands, property and holy sites in different parts of occupied Palestine.
Coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Yatta, Rateb Jabour, said that the soldiers kidnapped five Palestinians, and violently assaulted peace activist Siham Abu Arram, 40, beating her to various parts of her body causing various cuts and bruises.
He said the protesters marched in commemoration of the Ibrahimi Mosque Massacre in 1994, and to demand the army to reopen the Shuhada Street, a major road closed by the Israel since then.
As the protesters marched from a local mosque in the area towards the eastern entrance of the Shuhada Street, the soldiers started firing concussion grenades and gas bombs at them, causing dozens of residents to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Palestinian Legislator, secretary-general of the Palestinian National Initiative, Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi, and Hebron Governor Kamil Hmeid participated in the protest.
The soldiers chased the protesters into the Bab az-Zawiya neighborhood, and fired rubber-coated metal bullets at them, wounding at least 13 Palestinians.
On February 25 1994, an American-born fanatic Israeli physician, a settler identified as Baruch Kopel Goldstein infiltrated the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, during dawn prayers, and fired dozens of rounds of live ammunition at the worshipers, killing 29 and wounding at least 150, before they managed to kill him.
At least 500 worshipers were praying in the mosque when Goldstein invaded it firing at random, using his Israeli-issued automatic rifle.
Twenty-one Palestinians were killed by Israeli military fire, and dozens were injured, during the funeral ceremonies of the slain Palestinians.
The massacre led to clashes in every part of the occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip and occupied East Jerusalem, leading to dozens of casualties among the Palestinians.

It was in respect to the jigger that the craft differed from a sloop-rigged yacht or boat.
She is sloop-rigged, with a very short gaff, and a fore-triangle, about the same as 'Faugh-a-Ballagh.'
She was sloop-rigged, but seemed to be a vessel of some size.
sloop-rigged, and carvel built, she had white mouldings over a yellow streak, and her bulwark was painted green inside.
They are sloop-rigged, quite smart-looking under sail, and sail with lee-boards, like the Waterville Sloops.
Our boat was sloop-rigged, and carried three officers, a passenger, and ten men.
It is sloop-rigged, and finished up in a very handsome manner with paint, varnish, etc.
Like their own craft, the other boat carried a single mast and was sloop-rigged.

Tall tires for hauling?
Hey guys, hope this is in the right section. I am building a 76 Chevy Crew Cab into a 1 ton 4X4 (currently 2WD) and plan to do LOTS of highway hauling, mainly old cars. Only have a single car trailer now but hope to get a 40' goose neck soon. Anyhow, I was hoping to get some knowledge and advice from you all.
It will be lifted at least 6" but I hope no more than 8" at the VERY most. Going to be running an NV4500 with probably 4.10 gears.
Obviously I will want to get as good of fuel economy as possible so I am wondering what tire size and axle ratio I should run. I am really wanting to run 37's on it. It will obviously be primarily for looks but I will beat on it some in the mud and trails, but after all, it is about 1/4 mile long.
Does anyone have any experience with any good tires with a fairly aggressive tread hauling and lots of highway miles? Good bad or indifferent?
Am I defeating the purpose of better fuel economy with the 37's and 4.10's being heavier and all? Should I bite the bullet and sacrifice looks for some 35's or even smaller and maybe 3.73's or something? Or even 37's with 3.73's???
I know fuel economy will never be great but since I am starting from scratch basically I would like to optimize it as much as possible.
Any suggestions, experiences or whatever are all welcome. Thanks for your time.

Better fuel economy and a '76 big block crew cab on 37's and a 6" lift. Whats the difference between 6mpg and 7mpg

Recently took the truck 3000 miles in a matter of 2 weeks.
1 mpg equates to about $180 in that time span. I will easily get that amount of miles in a month, so take it times 12 and you get over $2000 dollars worth of difference. That is a big enough difference for me to put some thought into this and try to get others experience.
Thanks for your input...

Aggressive tread and fuel economy do not go together. If you want good economy, stick with gears in the low 3's (as low as you can go while still having enough power). Taller skinnier tires will yield similar results. Keeping the tread the same, a taller tire will act as lower gears. Lift will only hurt as well. If you want good mileage from this rig, you are either gonna be limited to easier trails or gonna need a trail rig.

I totally understand what you are saying. And trust me, I know that for the best fuel economy I would want to keep it a 2WD, lower axle ratio (numerically), etc, etc.
But I am converting it to a 4WD drive, not necessarily for trails but for excavation purposes. A lot of the cars I haul have to be rescued from fields and such. Hence the 4X4. Granted, one still does not need 37's but you know as well as I do that Testosterone is king. Why run 33's when you can run 35's, and so on...
I brought this question up because I see lots of guys hauling their rigs with 37's and aggressive tires so I was just looking for some recommendations or some feedback.
Oh, and I also have a dedicated trail rig in which the Crew Cab will be hauling FWIW.
Thanks again.

IMHO it kinda sounds like you already know the answer, but just don't like it much...
go w/the tallest skinny all terrain that you can fit with zero lift is about the happiest medium of the choices as I see it.
or just suck it up and keep it low... the airwall above 55 or so will kill your milage on any lifted tow rig.

Start with where your powerband is on your motor and where it's best fuel economy is. Then go here: http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartable.htm and play with some numbers (the color chart is based on a Jeep I think so it may or may not be the same as your motor). Another factor to consider is tire wear and suspension and brake component wear. An extra set of brakes all the way around, shocks, and tierods coupled with premature tire wear because of those faster wearing parts might eat up your "savings" pretty quick and in reality may wind up negligible (or worse).
For an actual tire get something with the center lug pattern as close together, if not a solid center ring, as you can for the best mileage. Aluminum Rims will be better on your brakes and suspension also.
Also I think you're gonna be pretty heavy for a big block to "fuel efficiently" keep on truckin' back and forth across the country. Truck safe

as far as finding specific tire bodels, try looking for expedition type tires.. there are a few threads on that here.
That type of tire will tend to be taller and skinnier with decent tread. That should be the best compromise that you will get with mileage and size.

i only skimmed this,but i didnt see any mention of tire ratings,wich are very important. i 40 foot gooseneck is going to place alot of weight on your rear tires,dont get any 33,35,37 or whatever, unless it carries the proper load rating for what you want to do.
im also building an chevy crewcab 4wd project truck,but im not lifting it it or runnig a big mud tires. i put a C&C axle in mine so i can be skinny and still have 4 tires to carry the weght ill carry.
i personally think its a bad idea. bigger properly rated tires are more expensive,and a taller truck is much more of a pain to hook up and load things into..not to mention youll need an appropriately rated huge drop hitch to pull tag trailers.
build your tow rig to tow. build yourself a toy that will impress the womens with its bigness. both vehicles will perform their intended tasks much,much better

I understand what your trying to do with truck. I've got a recycling business and often times and dragging scrapped farm equipment and cars out of creek beds and ditches. I get by with 33" AT's with my CC/SB Dodge, but then, I let the winch do the hard work instead of risking getting my work truck stuck (Stuck= NO PAY).
The largest I've seen guys using on their junk hauling trucks at the scrap yard is an 80's Chevy 1-ton with 35's. He said he used to run 40's but they were hard to control when he was using the rig to tow, so he downsized.

why not go with 9.00 16 Michelin xl's
they are dirt cheep, i paid $125 each for decent ones up here in Canada
they fit on stock rims no problem
are a true 36 x 9 when new
can carry almost 4,000 lbs at 80 psi
they work great and are a tuff tire, i have yet to do a flat repair on the set Ive been running for 2 years.

If you need 4 wheel drive, make it so but keep it stock height with 235/85r16s of an A/T variety. There is no reason to have a big gay truck to do real work. The people you see towing shit with 37"+ tires are weekenders or morons. If you are doing this to make money, keep it simple and small for reliability and profitability. Big stupid trucks for work are a waste of money and getting in and out of a giant truck will get old fast.

If you have to get big tires, then spend the coin and upgrade to the 22.5's with 10 lug wheels. If you are serious about doing this with a gas engine, then you are going the wrong way with everything.
Over the road running requires you to cut costs every where you can. Down time is $$ lost. A gas rig will never make the money that a Diesel rig will. Simple MPG.
If you really must have a big tow rig, then quit wasting time with light duty stuff and go find yourself a retired power company or fire truck rig. Start out with 2.5 ton running gear, 38-40" tires and the chassis to support running those loads. The truck will go anywhere and do anything except park in a garage or fit in a parking space.
You will be $$ ahead this way. It will be big and heavy to wheel in, but it will get the job done. Just don't get it stuck, or it will take a Cat to get you out...

Funny you mention it, I have been eyeballing a few Cummins donor engines as well but have yet to strike any deals. So far everyone has assumed I was running a big block, I never said that. It is a 400 sbc. Very strong engine and I have not had much trouble pulling anything I could fit in the back of the truck and on the trailer thus far. Not to say that I won't but for right now this is what I am going with. Right now I have managed to get right at 10 mpg on long flat stretches of road with a car on a trailer and a bed full of engines and such. This is of course in 2WD trim but with an old reliable 3 speed auto transmission.
Switching to the NV4500 o/d and some taller tires I was hoping to try and match that number but I very well could be completely delusional...
But then again that is why I am asking this here to get some info before I spend the dough. Thank you for your reply.

I have an 84 chevy 1-ton 4x4. It has a 4 speed 4.56 gears and a stock 454. I go 7mpg pulling est.7k doing 60. I usually tow 2-3 times a month about 150 miles one way so with an old paid off truck and the amount of miles I use it for it makes sense to fork out some cash for gas and turn a wrench every now and then. you will be money ahead to get a newer diesel leaving it stock throwing a winch on it and driving the shit out of it. When your working on your truck it is not working therefore it isn't making you any cash. And 70's chevy's are great trucks but they are still a 70's pick-up therefore you will be putting alot of wrench time in it to keep it on the road.

not to mention the wear and tear on you from driving an older truck that rides like, well, an older truck.

I'll take a little more time now that I know your combination.
I grew up on a Ranch and Farm operation. We ran up and down the road about 80K miles a year with our rigs. So I've towed probably as many miles as I've run empty.
My current rig is an 02 Dodge with the Cummins. It's 4x4, 2500, lifted 5" running 295/75/16 Mud tires right now. It has an auto which I've already killed once and runs 3.55 gears.
I always thought it would be plenty of truck. Now I wish I had a dually about 1/2 the time. I went with the 295's after pulling with 315/7516's for a couple years. The big tires work, but with my tall gears, they just didn't allow enough pull when I hit the big hills here in the Sierra's. One other thing, with the bigger tires, if you have a blowout you have a lot of sidewall flopping around making a mess of things. All that drag plays hell with things on twisty roads, or at high speeds. They also made slowing down on 8-10% grades more trying on the brakes. Even though I have 4 wheel discs with good Carbon pads all around, they still don't like that big heavy tire with 19K lbs behind them.
My first 3/4 ton truck was an 85 Chevy 2500 4x4 with a swapped in 400 with Fuelie heads and a 4 speed trans. I ran 3.73 gears with 235/85/16 tires. It pulled like a freight train. Anything I wanted to move, it did it with plenty left over, but never got better than 10mpg towing. Empty I could squeeze 14 out of it if I kept it at 50-55 mph. At 75 it got 9 mpg at 100 it was down to 7 ish. The only problem was brakes. I pulled a lot of goosenecks with 10-15K lbs of gear in them and rarely had enough brakes if someone pulled out in front of me. With 33's I would have been o.k. but I'm sure mileage and towing power would have suffered. With 35's I would have been completely out of my power band at legal speeds.
We also ran quite a few HD trucks. My least and most favorite depending on the day was a 70 C50 10 wheeler with a 292 6 cylinder and a 4 speed with 2-speed rear diff. 1st and low range was good for about a fast walk at redline. Top end down hill with a tailwind was 60 mph, empty. Loaded with 20K lbs of cattle it would get 45 on the flats and a 6% grade would see you in 2nd and low at about 15 mph and hoping you wouldn't have to hit 1st and try to get high range before you got too slow.
That C50 with no locker and dragging a tag axle would most times go anywhere I could get a standard 2wd truck. It pulled hard, stopped like it should and could carry way over it's rated load without looking like it. If it had been a 4wd truck, I'd have no qualms taking it anywhere I could have fit it. Bolt on a PTO winch out of a military truck, or a good 12K-15K lb winch and it would have done anything I ever needed it to do.
The big truck tires lasted 40-50K miles of beating up and down gravel roads and overloaded most of the time. With regular light truck tires, 10-20K miles was pretty good. If I got 30K miles out of a set of 235's on my 3/4 ton I was pretty happy. Mud tires seemed to keep their caps a lot longer than the highway tread ones. Bias ply tires wouldn't last as long, but you could run them to the cords and they wouldn't blow out. The Radials blew out whenever you got past the wear bars.
As for your combination. Your trans is going to kill you. It's slipping all the time. And an NV4500 will work, but you are throwing good money after bad. Right now, on craigslist here in Reno is a 93 Ram 2500 4x4, single cab with a Cummins for 3K. Throw another 1K worth of maintenance and parts at that truck and it will last longer and pull circles around your Chevy, and cost less to do it. Swapping in an NV4500 to your truck will run you between $300 and $1500 depending on what parts you have on hand.
I'm not going to tell you what to do. I've been in love with a couple trucks in the past and it cost me a lot of $$$ that I could have done better things with. My current WORK truck is an example of that. It's an 87 F250 with a N/A 6.9 diesel and 5 speed trans. It's too old and slow to make money with, but I enjoy driving it, so I keep it around.

Yeah I have since put a gear vendor and I am almost done building a supercharged 496 with merlin heads for my 84 1-ton. I have 33" mt's and I just like the truck but If I were trying to make money I would get something else.

Look at medium duty 19.5" rim truck tires for the kind of loads it sounds like you'll be towing. www.ricksontruck.com has a pretty good tire selection/information - definitely not cheap but may be the least expensive option in the long run.
My dad put a set of Rickson 19.5's on his '96 CTD and the truck handles his 36ft 5th wheel much better.

My walking savior
By Mary

About Me Casual User
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Medline Excel Translator Rolling Walker/Wheelchair - Red:
I have hospital visits that go from building to building. I have very bad leg pain and can only walk short distances. At least I can sit and rest when I tire.i also wish there could be some hooks to carry extra bags if needed. It would also benefit some people if there was an oxygen tank holder on it. I have needed one on occasion.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Power User
The foot rest clips stick out too far and mar door edges, etc.If you use walker seat, you should have person to assist in getting up as chair rolls as brakes are too hard to engage in this reversed position
My sister loves it, definitively great!
By Margie Miami
from Miami, Fl.
My sister is not in a wheelchair, but needs help to walk and gets tired. This is perfect for her since she can enjoy the walk but without the fear of getting tired and unavailable to continue. I was specting that althoug it states in the specifications the 18 pound weight, she will be able to manage, but no, it is still quite heavy. Other than that is a great product that fits our needs.

best stability, mobilty & convertibility
By sharon
from stuart florida
The unit is very compact and light weight- can be folded and opened easily. Converts usage from walker to wheelchair easily. The only draw back is the handles are hard to place in rigid position

Central and affordable
270 Le Thanh Ton, District 1 T: (08) 3825 8698 F: (08) 3825 8697
For travellers who can spare to shell out a few extra dollars a night, Ho Chi Minh City does have a handful of decent digs outside Pham Ngu Lao, such as Bloom Hotel, located in the centre of the city and offering well priced, quality rooms.
Just a five-minute walk from the backside of Ben Thanh market on busy Le Thanh Ton, Bloom Hotel is tucked between some bigger neighbours. It's in good shape, with large clean windows running its length and a downstairs, wood-trimmed lobby boasting a desk of guest-usable computers and non-lacquer furniture.
Bloom has four different room options, ranging from standards to a couple of top-floor suites. The majority of the hotel is made up of the two entry-level options, standards and superiors. You'll likely find a stay in a 25 USD standard to be tight on space; the bed basically touches the wall on three of its four sides. Still, they squeeze in a small desk, wall-mounted TV, air-con, a small private bathroom and, most surprisingly, a window.
Stepping up to a 35 USD superior will give you a bump in overall floor space, not enough to have a hoe-down but at least you can walk in front of your bed. Here you're getting the same amenities but you'll also discover a table and chairs.
The deluxe rooms and suites are the best bargains though. At 40 USD and 45 USD respectively, these rooms are ridiculously big and have much bigger bathrooms — with bathtubs — and huge, street-facing windows. Comparing these rooms to something you'd find at Saigon's four- or five star establishments isn't that much of a stretch. Regardless of the level of room you choose, everything inside is clean and well kept.
Being outside of the backpacker haunts keeps things at Bloom quieter than your average Saigon hotel and the higher the floor your room is on, the quieter things become. You are located on a street filled with restaurants and bars that stay open late, but if you're really wanting a party atmosphere where you'll meet fellow travellers you'd likely be better off staying somewhere a little more youthful, like the Saigon Backpackers Hostel or Vietnam Inn Saigon.
Quiet and cleanliness aside, location is the biggest selling factor at Bloom. You couldn't be much more central, making this a great spot for families, business folk and travellers looking for a slightly more chilled environment. Booking ahead is recommended, especially if you want a deluxe or a suite.

Opposition: Ethiopia police block rally, beat someAP , Associated Press
Sep. 1, 2013 12:43 PM ET
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — An opposition leader in Ethiopia says police have prevented his group from staging a rally to demand the release of jailed activists.
Yilkal Getnet, who heads the opposition Blue party, said Sunday that police raided their headquarters in the capital, Addis Ababa, on Saturday night and beat up some party members. He said police also seized banners and equipment that would have been used during a street protest on Sunday.
He said the rally was meant to highlight the continued detention of some journalists and Muslim activists.
Ethiopia has charged at least 28 Muslims activists with terrorism. But those activists say they have been unfairly targeted by the government, which they accuse of harassment.
A spokesman for Ethiopian police was not immediately available for comment.

Yesterday the Galaxy Nexus went on sale in the UK. According to some rumors, it was to have gone on sale here in the US as well, but that didn't happen, and worse, we still have no idea when it'll go on sale here.
But it feels like we're inching forward towards a release date. Google is now providing technical specs and other information, though I suppose they'd more or less have to if the phone is on sale somewhere. They've also made a TV ad:
Unsurprisingly the ad makes the phone look magical!
But let's come back to earth. The news is still pretty good. Another embargo lifted yesterday I guess, because suddenly hands-on articles started popping up. I liked JR Raphael's over at Computerworld, but you might also try Engadget (with video) or TechCrunch. I'm sure there are others.
These hands-on are all based on the HSPA+ version of the phone, and not the pending LTE version that Verizon will be rolling out, but presumably the differences will be minimal.
Anyway, these reports are encouraging. Early concerns about the screen seem to have been unwarranted, the changes in Ice Cream Sandwich seem to be generally welcome, and no one is complaining that the phone is awkward or bulky or too big. Good news, right?
Now all we need is a US release date, Verizon! Let's go...I've got money burning a hole in my pocket!

Anthony Japour's Content:
Anthony Japour Looks at Contemporary Sculptor Evan Holloway
Like medicine where as a doctor, my patients are at times my teachers, in the art world, my art advisory clients at times teach me about a new artist. That is the case for sculptor Evan Holloway whose work I first saw some years ago at the home of a major art collector client of mine. Evan Holloways
Tree, Twig, and Mold
sculptures were exhibited at the 2015 Art Basel Miami Beach at the booths of Xavier Hufkens Gallery from Brussels and David Kordansky Gallery from Los Angeles. And, from what I hear, Holloway [finally] had his break out year at this years Miami Edition of Art Basel...
Portraiture Exhibitions in Miami and New York City
Anthony Japour darted back and forth between South Florida and the Big Apple. "Having recently returned from New York where I saw two wonderful portraiture exhibitions Ive been thinking a lot about portraiture lately, and the role it has played in the history of art."
Read more about Japour's visits to exhibitions of Gustav Klimt at the Neue Gallery and rising star Kehinde Wiley at The Brooklyn Museum. He also visited The Boca Raton Museum of Art for Helena Rubinstein: Beauty is Power, which features works from private collections lovingly pieced together for a traveling exhibition, on view through July 12.
Xu Bings Masterpieces at the Frost Museum
Some years ago during Art Basel Miami Beach, I hosted a Symposium on the Chinese Contemporary Art Movement at the Center for Visual Communication sponsored, in part, by Art & Antiques Magazine. In attendance were art collectors, art dealers, curators, and as well as experts and specialists from Christies, Sotheby's and Bonhams. Auction houses. It was a lively series of talks and I provocatively posed a question to the experts: Which Chinese Contemporary artist's works would still be talked about in the 22nd Century?
While the more familiar names we often see in the headlines with auction records such as Zeng Fanzhi, Yue Minjun, and Zhang Xiaogang were mentioned (notably, no one mentioned Ai Wei Wei... of course that was before he got into trouble with the Chinese law). I said: the artist "Xu Bing" who is on view now at the Frost Museum...
Miami goes to Bogota! - Anthony Japour explores the work of Jaime Gili
Anthony Japour expounds on the work of Latin American artist Jaime Gili, whose art is being represented at the ArtBo 2014 Art Fair in Bogota, Colombia by one of the most important galleries in Miami, Alejandra von Hartz Gallery.
Critics have described Gilis work as a mix of Pop, Minimalism, Vorticism, Futurism and graffiti Art and as a bomb exploding on a Cruz Diez.

One of the most common questions asked by people who are interested on vision correction through Laser Eye Surgery is the cost of the procedure. Laser Eye Surgery varies in price depending on the type of surgery, how it is done and who will do the procedure. It is important that when you go for your initial consultation to find out about the prices and whether aftercare is part of the package.
Why is Laser Eye Surgery expensive?
Laser Eye Surgery has evolved over the years with new technology which means that equipment is expensive. Eye surgeons with the right qualifications and skills do not come cheap particularly since eye surgery is very delicate and requires years of experience. According to a 2013 survey of refractive surgeons they quote different prices for Laser Eye Surgery based on the technology used for vision correction.
New technologies include:
• Customized Wavefront technology – makes use of a specially designed lenslet array that measures the changes in wavefront light as it passes through the visual system and presents the data in a fashion similar to a topographical map that can easily be read by eye doctors.
• Intralase technology – uses a precision laser device to create a more precise and accurate flap without the use of a blade.
• Microkeratome – has been improved over the years to create a corneal flap with virtually no discomfort.
• Femtosecond laser – is used in bladeless Lasik where laser energy is used to create the corneal flap for better comfort and faster healing.
Paying about £1,000 per eye for Laser Eye Surgery is reasonable enough considering the amount of technology and expertise for benefits that will improve your life. Laser Eye Surgery allows you to join sports activities and water games which you used to avoid for fear of losing your contact lens or breaking your eyeglasses.
If you find clinics offering very low prices for Laser Eye Surgery, better think twice. In most cases, this is only an advertising gimmick for packages that do not actually provide the true price of treatment. Beware of hidden charges. Research all your options carefully until you find a clinic you feel comfortable with. Check with your insurance company whether they will cover the cost of Laser Eye Surgery, otherwise, try looking for financing.

Dec 22, 2013 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterMembers of the Wind River UNITY council and the Eastern Shoshone Cross-Age Peer Education project had a busy weekend hosting their first talent show Dec. 7 to raise funds for a winter retreat and other events.
At the Rocky Mountain Hall in Fort Washakie, dancers, drummers, singers and silly characters took their bold personalities to the stage in front of a packed hall to compete for first place.
Butchie Eastman, 20, of South Dakota, and Antoine Edwards Jr., 19, of Nebraska, served as the special guests and judges. Both are singers and songwriters who have recorded YouTube videos that have gained them Internet fame.
Area teens also got the chance to participate in a meet and greet with the guests by paying a small fee that raised a good share of the nearly $1,000 collected Saturday.
Taking the microphone to sing and drum were Faith Ridgley, the Young Chiefs, Belva Day, Kaylie and Kyleen Harding, Jermaine Bell, Jasmine Gould, Jayda Antelope, Amanda and Tom Gardner and Aliyah Yellowcloud. Dancers included White Cloud Sunrhodes, Tyrell Tillman, Leon Ferris, Chance Shakespeare, Heaven OldCoyote and Sharmaine Weed.
Some of the performers got a bad case of the giggles and others secured themselves a second chance by stopping and starting over. Some had the crowd laughing and hollering throughout their performance.
At the end, the judges had Bell, a North Bear singer, and Shakespeare engage in a dance-off to break the tie. In the youth category, Yellowcloud and OldCoyote sang a few notes to break their tie as well. After the tiebreakers, the final prize money went to Bell and Yellowcloud.
The talent show was emceed by the club's members, and UNITY council adviser Sunny Goggles said the members organized the show. The advisers helped invite guests and pay for the travel costs of Edwards and Eastman.
"We wanted to do something for the community," Goggles said. "And we wanted to do a drug- and alcohol-free event."
Goggles said the group soon will have calendars available for sale, and it accepts donations to fund similar fun activities for the youths.
"We need more of these events," she said. "We had an excellent turnout, and it was good to see everyone come out."
Eastman said he enjoyed the show and the hospitality from the community and the club.
"It was fun to see little kids participate," Eastman said. "I like how involved everybody was."

Big Ten Announces Women's Indoor Individual Honorees
March 1, 2011
Park Ridge, Ill. -
The Big Ten Conference office announced on Tuesday the 2011 All-Big Ten women's indoor track and field teams and individual award winners. Highlighting the list, Ohio State junior Christina Manning was named Big Ten Track Athlete of the Year and Indiana senior Faith Sherrill earned the nod as Field Athlete of the Year. Purdue's Dani Bunch was tabbed Freshman of the Year by the conference coaches while Buckeye head coach Karen Dennis was named Coach of the Year by her peers. In addition, Manning was tabbed Big Ten Track Athlete of the Championships, while Sherrill took home Field Athlete of the Championships laurels for their outstanding performances last weekend.
The conference also announced All-Big Ten first and second teams at the conclusion of the Championships on Sunday. The complete list of individual honorees and All-Conference teams are listed below.
The Big Ten Conference office recognizes student-athletes from each team with the Sportsmanship Award. The student-athletes chosen were individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior.

Honorees for women's indoor track and field are, Illinois's Tamika Robinson, Indiana's Kristen Crawford, Iowa's Nicole Erickson, Michigan's Ada Unachukwu, Michigan State's Emily MacLeod Minnesota's Elizabeth Yetzer, Ohio State's Madison McNary, Penn State's Maura Ryan, Purdue's Stacey Wannemacher and Wisconsin's Jameice DeCoster.

- Tips, Tricks And Snowboard Coaching (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/)
- - 360 question (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/34445-360-question.html)
360 question
well I just consistent FS 360s and I'm kinda concerned on how I do them. I do the whole setup carve and go off the lip on my heel edge. Thats fine but when I actually do the spin I throw my weight and right as I get to 270 I stop. Then I do a shifty and land it fine on my toe side edge. This is the first part that concerns me the second is that I really want to learn FS 5s and I'm having trouble rotating past 270
Just keep looking over your shoulder to keep your rotation speed. Try grabbing indy to keep yourself tucked up too.
yeah throwing in a grab sounds like a good idea because i'm pretty sure I don't bring my legs up

can you spin 360 standing still and strapped in? Practice that.
Perhaps what you are doing is that at 270, you are twisting your head and shoulders toward the direction of travel quickly...in order to look at the landing perhaps. What this can do is make your board twist in the OPPOSITE direction. But since you're net rotating, it's "stalled" relative to the earth. Does that make sense? Newton's 3rd Law: Every action has an equal an opposite reaction.
So (if regular) imagine you are just doing a straight air and your upper body all of the sudden spins CCW. The "equal and opposite reaction" is that your lower body will spin CW simultaneously. You can try this sitting on an office chair. Now make this a spinning air at the right speed and the same scenario...a "faster upper body rotation" causes a "slower/stalled lower body rotation".
The grab would definately help prevent this upper body jerk if this is the case. Either that or just try to keep your shoulders and arms still and just look uphill while landing. It's called landing blind. I mean, not blind as you close your eyes, just look toward the rear of travel.

Paint on the interior :(
Hey guys, I have read multiple posts and I like the community already :D. I just bought a 2002 WRX last week and I LOVE it! I haven't really worked with many cars before so I don't know too much about the engines, other than what i have been reading lately. Anyways on the leather interior there are a couple white paint spots that look like fingerprints... Is there anyway I can get the paint off of the leather without destroying or damaging it?
try heavy duty leather cleaner, if that doesn't work, you can try acetone or carburetor cleaner, but those probably wont be good for the leather in the long run
You can use the carb cleaner, but then should think about using leather conditioner right after that to get off an excess carb cleaner or anything that could damage the leather.
Awesome, thanks guys!

Media allowed to stand suggestion that Pelosi support for minimum wage bill stems from company in her district
Research ››› ››› SARAH PAVLUS
In the days following House passage of a Democratic minimum wage increase, media outlets have continued to report Republican accusations that the bill, the Fair Minimum Wage Act, caters to a company in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) district because it does not include a wage hike for American Samoa. These stories point out that Del Monte Corp., which is headquartered in Pelosi's district, owns one of American Samoa's largest employers, StarKist. But in reporting the accusation, many in the media have allowed to stand the suggestion that Pelosi's support of this bill stems from Del Monte's interest. In fact, Pelosi has supported several versions of the Fair Minimum Wage Act since it was introduced by Democrats in 1999, three years before Del Monte bought StarKist, and each has included a wage hike for the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands but not for American Samoa.
Pelosi was a co-sponsor of the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 1999 and co-sponsored subsequent versions of the bill, introduced in 2001, 2003 and 2005. Versions of the Fair Minimum Wage Act were also introduced in 2002 and 2004, but Pelosi was not a co-sponsor of these bills. The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007 passed the House 315-116 on January 10.
Republican House members also introduced minimum wage proposals in 2005 and 2006 that included a wage hike for the Northern Mariana Islands but not for American Samoa.
The most recent examples of media reports on this issue were in the January 23 edition of The Washington Times and on the January 23 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends. The Washington Times reported that Republicans were calling the American Samoa exemption a "fishy favor":
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters less than two weeks ago that she would close the loophole after coming under criticism from Republicans for what they termed a "fishy favor" to StarKist Tuna. StarKist has lobbied for years against raising the minimum wage in American Samoa, and its parent, Del Monte Corp., is based in Mrs. Pelosi's San Francisco district.
Fox & Friends also ran a story on the issue, during which on-screen text read "Fishy Favors."
From the January 23 edition Fox News' Fox & Friends:
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): She [Pelosi] pledged to raise the minimum wage and in fact the Democratic-controlled congress did pass that in their 100 Hours, but as we told you on this program, there was an exemption. And that was the fact that American Samoa would not have to pay their tuna processors more than their current $3.26. Now why American Samoa? Could it be the fact that in her home district is Del Monte, which of course, cans StarKist tuna.
As Media Matters for America previously noted, The Washington Times also advanced the false suggestion that Pelosi took campaign contributions from Del Monte, when in fact, she did not receive any money from the company.
The following media outlets reported the Republican accusations but did not report that each version of the Fair Minimum Wage Act exempted American Samoa:
- The Washington Times on January 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 23
- CNN's The Situation Room on January 12

A trust is an arrangement whereby someone owns and manages money or property for another person's benefit. Like a guardianship, a trustee has decision-making authority over the trust property, but no court is involved in the trustee's action–the person who creates the trust defines the scope of the trustee's power. There are many different trust types, including probate trusts, income trusts, spendthrift trusts, and educational trusts. For example, a living trust allows you to manage your property while you are alive and to direct who will manage it if you become incapable of doing so. In essence, you choose your own "guardian" in advance and avoid having the court do it for you. A trust attorney reviews the many reasons for establishing a trust with you, and can ensure your trust will be legally valid.

Why would you want a holster that doesn't protect the trigger guard? Even if it's not on the feds 'no no list', it's on my personal 'no no list'.
Also, even though this company claims to be in my neck of the woods, I would not buy anything from their website. It all looks pretty cookie cutter, it's overpriced, and I'm not a big fan of 'one size fits all' holsters.
Looks like a company to stay away from to me.

'"I think we've all had the idea for the last month or so that something would happen soon," said Buffalo Sabres forward Mike Grier, a Holliston native who now resides in Hopkinton. "So it's a little bit of a relief to have it finally happen." Grier wasn't thrilled with the end result — a cap system — or the fact that a full season was lost in getting to that disappointing result, but like most players, he was resigned to that inevitable conclusion. "Since February, we've all had an idea what was going to happen, that we would get a cap," said Grier. "It's just a shame it took missing a whole year to get to that."'

Slow Down Lyrics
Artist: The Supremes
Album: The Never Before Released Masters
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I've got a story to tell
About a girl I know well
She loved this guy
Heaven knows why
How could she love him
Everytime this guy she'd see
With another girl he'd be
He didn't even notice
She was crying
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
She'd choose her clothes with care
She'd curl and set her hair
And hope someday, that he'd look her way
He was too busy
He was always on the run
Breaking hearts and havin' fun
He couldn't see she was the one that needed him
Each night she'd cry in fear
That he would never hear
Her heart and soul cry out
I know it's love beyond a doubt
By now you all must see
This girl I know is me
Though I feel like crying
I won't stop trying to make him love me
I've shown you a part of my soul
But many things I've left untold
Until he's mine to have and hold
Don't run so fast, love
Slow down and let me catch you baby
I need your arms around me tight, baby
Slow down
Slow down, baby

Fabled Tibetan Waterfalls Finally Discovered
Hidden Falls [WTN-LĀĀ World Tibet Network News. Published by The Canada Tibet Committee. Issue ID: 99/01/07 Compiled by Nima Dorjee]
Thursday, January 7, 1999
WASHINGTON January 6, 1999 (AP) -- The legendary great falls on Tibet's Tsangpo River, subject of myth and folklore for more than a century, have finally been reached by Western explorers.
"It was an enchanting moment. ... We were all stunned and excited," Ken Storm Jr. said of the moment, November 8, when the team of explorers,Ā sponsored by the National Geographic Society, sighted the giant falls.
Tucked tightly between the rising cliffs of the Tsangpo gorge, the falls are in shadow most of the time and are hidden from view in a hairpin turn.
The explorers named the cataract, 99-116 feet (30-35 meters) high, Hidden Falls.
"It's just a great wonder," Storm said. "The fact that we're here, in the late 20th century, and a large waterfall on a major river of the world has yet to be recorded is a wonder in itself."
Stories of the giant falls told by Tibetan hunters and Buddhist monks were a popular topic in Victorian drawing rooms.
Last discovery effort ended in 1924
Those romantic tales sparked several unsuccessful expeditions in search of the falls, Storm said in a telephone interview from his office in Minneapolis.
The last effort, in 1924, came within a quarter-mile of the falls before the explorers gave up and concluded that they didn't exist. That ended Western exploration for nearly three-quarters of a century.
The Tsangpo gorge in southeastern Tibet is a rugged wilderness unlike the high desert of the rest of that region. It is called Pemako, one of the hidden lands held sacred in Tibetan Buddhism, known only to local hunters and to religious pilgrims.
Weather from the south pours through a gap in the mountains, carrying rain for a jungle at lower levels, fir forests as the land rises and snowcapped peaks above, explained Storm.
When the Chinese began allowing Western visitors to Tibet in 1993, Storm said, explorations were begun by members of the group that finally located the falls. That group included Storm; Ian Baker, who lives in New York and Nepal; and Hamid Sarder of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Hidden Falls is "in a dramatic spot, deep in this gorge, beyond the point where earlier explorers were able to reach," Storm explained.
After the 1924 expedition, a gap of about 5 miles (8 kilometers) was left unexplored, because the men couldn't work their way into the area where the river disappears into a knot of mountains before reappearing -- 93 milesĀ (150 km) farther on and about 8,910 feet (2,700 meters) lower -- as the Brahmaputra.
The 1924 explorers found a waterfall they estimated at 43 feet (13 meters)Ā high and called Rainbow Falls, but they couldn't work their way past that point because of the steep walls on each side of the river, Storm explained.'The thrill was amazing'
"We were kind of victims of these explorers," Storm said. "We believed their accounts that there probably wasn't a great waterfall in there."
"Only in the last year were we able to realize from monks and hunters," that the falls were there, he said.
Baker and Sarder are fluent in Tibetan, Storm noted, and are Buddhist scholars who were able to develop an understanding with local people.
"As we came down into the gorge we could look upstream and can see Rainbow Falls," Storm said, and they were able to determine that the falls were almost 83 feet (25 meters) high, about twice what had been previously reported.
"We also realized as we were going down the gorge that in a narrow, tight hairpin turn, hidden ... was another waterfall," he said.
"The thrill was amazing," he said. "The river of 100 yards (100 meters)Ā narrowed to 60 to 70 feet (20 to 23 meters) and the water poured over this,Ā thundering, the full volume of the Tsangpo which collects water from (the)Ā whole Himalayan region."

Last weekend, I have managed to buy a couple of fresh Sicilian lemons. Did you actually know, that there are torns on the branches of the lemon? Well, at least on this kind. I still have no plan what I am going to prepare, but as I had no more lemon oil left, I made one small bottle.
It is very simple to make your own flavoured oils and there are so many different combinations that you can choose from! However, it is very important to prepare only small portions at once. This means that you shouldn't make more than 200-300 ml from a kind, because once you open a bottle it has to be used within a few days or a week at the most. It looses its aroma very quickly, but sealed it can be kept up to a month. It is also important to use an oil that has a neutral taste such as grapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil or a light olive oil.
It is up to you with what you want to flavour it, the method is almost the same no matter if it is lemon, orange, chili, herbs or garlic. In case you make a lemon or orange flavoured oil use only organic fruits and dry the zest in the oven on 110°C for 24 hours. Usually, I use 3 lemons to make 200 ml of lemon oil.
Heat the neutral oil until it reaches 120°C, then add the desired flavouring and remove it from the heat. Cover and let it stand until it cools completly. Now you only have to sieve it and fill it into bottles. In case you flavour the oil with garlic and chilis, then there is no need to sieve.

While originally, the white Samsung GALAXY Nexus was to appear in the U.K. the week of February 6th, the latest info says that the handset will be available the week of March 6th. Pricing will be the same as the original "titanium silver" unit. As we pointed out before, this model is the GSM version of the phone which means there is no LTE radio and no CDMA connectivity. There is no word on whether or not we will see the white version of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus touch down in the States, but there is no reason not to expect it to come to the U.S. eventually.

Vail buys two Midwest ski areas in Minnesota and Michigan
December 6, 2012
Vail Resorts is spending $20 million on 430 acres of urban skiing at two ski areas near Minneapolis and Detroit.
Afton Alps in Minnesota and Mount Brighton in Michigan are close to cities that are home to more than 468,000 active skiers. Vail plans to develop racing programs, terrain parks, coaching and sweeping overhauls to both hills. Both the 300-acre Afton Alps – the largest ski area near a major city in the Midwest – and the 130-acre Mount Brighton will be connected to Vail's Epic Pass program, uniting the two with the company's seven premier ski areas in Colorado and California.

Can Digital Humanities become a research area in its own right? This is the foremost question in my mind. It's clear from the recent series of seminars and surveys organised under the banner of the Arts Faculty's Digital Humanities research theme that there is a rich collection of digital practices that can support research. These range from searchable databases to tools for academic networking and are all likely to become even more influential as we move into an era in which funding for exchange visits and conferences is likely to be even harder to come by.
Yet such things don't equate to a coherent research area.

Finally, a training aid that develops power hitter skills and power hitter strength while allowing you to see the results!
The Power Bag develops power hitting strength in the wrist and forearms. Houston Astro Lance Berkman (pictured) credits a similar device his father made with much of the power he has in his wrist and forearms. Hitting the ball with authority requires power and strength at contact, which results in more spring off of the bat head. Bat speed is crucial for hitting the ball a long way, but if there is give in the wrist at contact much of the benefit of bat speed is lost. Strengthening the hands, wrists and forearms by using the Power Bag will decrease bat recoil and cause the ball to jump off of your bat.
Is It Better Than a Tire?
You bet it is! The Power Bag was specifically designed to allow the hitter to swing through the bag. A ball is in contact with a bat only 1/2000 of a second and some will have you believe any energy spent after contact is wasted. In theory this is correct, but how many times as a coach or parent have you noticed players of all ages give up on a swing? By teaching players to always finish their swing strong completely through the ball, you help them develop good habits that eventually translate into harder hit balls and sound muscle memory mechanics.
Teaches Explosive Hitting Mechanics
The Power Bag gives instant feedback with every swing. Common hitter faults such as poor hip rotation, casting or swinging around the ball, poor hand position (rolled wrist) , barring the lead arm or lunging at the target will result in a weak hit and the bag will not move much. If a hitter uses sound point of contact hitting mechanics as taught by most instructors, Bingo! The bag goes higher or all the way around. This visual and physical reward helps teach hitters how using good fundamentals leads to harder hit balls and helps the hitter develop the necessary strength to hit the ball with authority every time.
What Is It Made Of, and What's In the Box?
The Power Bag has a light foam center surrounded by a flexible, tear-resistant durable polyurethane coating. It is soft enough to absorb bat impact and can be used with most any bat. Each unit comes complete including the top arm and u-bolts which can be mounted to a pole 3½ diameter or smaller. The top arm can also be mounted to a wood surface using wood screws or bolts. The unit can be removed from the top arm for storage by simply removing a ring pin. We recommend removing the bag from the outdoor elements when it will not be used for an extended period of time.
Ordering Recommendations:
Large Power Bag - 7.5 lbs - 10" diameter x 24" long.
Players over 170 lbs. High school and college baseball.
Medium Power Bag - 5.5 lbs - 7" dia. x 24" long.
Players 100-180 lbs. High school and college fastpitch. We have had several HS fastpitch coaches inform us that by the end of their first year using this bag, 4-6 of their girls were hitting this bag all the way around. None were able to do this at the beginning of the year.
Junior Power Bag - 3.5 lbs.- 7" dia. x 12" long.
Most players 13 and under. 110 lbs and below. This bag is perfect for teaching the younger kids how good mechanics lead to more power.
Power Bag - what you receive when you only order the Power Bag.
Junior Stand - For the Junior Power Bag only.
Institutional Stand - For Large and Medium power bags.

"This was just the card we needed to send to family and friends for my son's graduation presents. I only used a photo with the words thank you on the front on the card. It was tasteful and just the right look."
"The quality of these cards is very good, very nice cardstock and easy to write on with, I assume, any kind of pen (and I am a picky pen / paper person). They are perfect for our wedding thank you notes. It would be nice if the envelopes had been available in a bigger array of colors, but the card itself is wonderful. Shipped on-time and no issues with delivery or product. Thanks, tinyprints!"
"Although the card is gorgeous and the quality is outstanding when I ordered the card even though I checked for a designer review I received my card and noticed a misspelled word. Granted, I missed it, but so did they. I won't check the designer box anymore because it really doesn't do any good. Disappointed in the customer service/designer review."
"This card was smaller than I was anticipating (should have checked the dimensions), but the paper was thick and textured and the photo print quality was excellent. Would definitely recommend for a cute, quality thank-you card."
"Easy to use the site and delivery was well ahead of expected timeline. I did replace the studio picture with one of my own but it was well rendered by Tiny Prints. Doing it again and listening to wife's advice, I would omit the "Thank You" and make the card more generic for multiple occasion usage in addition to simply thanks."
