Option Reads: It's time to move on from Manti Te'o story
Am I the only one sick and tired of Manti Te'o and his imaginary girlfriend?
|You tired of this guy yet? (US Presswire)
I don't know about you, but I'm more than tired of the Manti Te'o story. I've learned more about Te'o and his relationship with the fictitious Lennay Kekua than I ever wanted to or hoped to know. Te'o was fooled. He lied. He admitted it.
What else is there?
People are poring through this story as if it's some great conspiracy, looking to uncover some undiscovered truth about what happened. To what end, I don't know. All it truly ever was is a fish tale. Te'o caught a minnow, told his friends it was a large-mouth bass and before he knew it he had a shark in the boat.
A lie, sure, and not honorable by any stretch, but in the end who got hurt here? Te'o and that's it. I enjoyed making jokes about it for a few days myself, but that's all there was to this story.
If you care about learning any more than you already have, you're only looking for another reason to laugh at Te'o. That's it. Don't pretend your motives are anything else.
Daily Progressions
-- Since I assume the vast majority of you don't feel the same way about the Te'o story as I do, you can find out more during his interview with Katie Couric. I'm sure it will be thorough and bring to light great secrets about a college guy making up a girlfriend.
-- I have to agree with CBSSports colleague Bruce Feldman here. Going with Mark Helfrich is the best thing Oregon could do after losing Chip Kelly. Oregon was a good team but it wasn't a national power until Kelly came to the school with his offense, and it's a scheme Helfrich will continue to use with the Ducks.
-- The offseason isn't just about college football players and their imaginary girlfriends, it's also about players getting arrested. This time it's Kansas linebacker Ben Heeney.
-- Texas A&M is going to reward Kevin Sumlin with a raise and an extension following his first season in College Station. Which he totally deserves. I just wish Kliff Kingsbury was still around to congratulate him in Kliff Kingsbury fashion.
-- Brady Hoke was not exactly happy with Michigan's season. The word he used to describe it rhymes with pity.
-- If you missed the news, now that Boise State and San Diego State have dumped the Big East before their first date, the conference will not have divisions in 2013 and play an eight-game conference schedule.

The Q103 Crowd Had A Blast Before The Aerosmith Show Even Started [PICTURES]
If you went to the Aerosmith show at the Times Union Center Friday night, then you probably stopped by the say hi the Q103. And why wouldn't you?
Aerosmith hit Albany, and left no survivors. Okay, maybe that's a little drastic, but they did put on one hell of a show. Too bad they didn't come to our little party before hand, out side of the Times Union Center. If you happened to stop by, you got to chill out and play a little 'tic-tac-Tyler'. It was our version of 'tic-tac-toe', just with Steven Tyler's face.
Everyone was lined up to play for a chance at prizes. BJ and Aspen played to the crowd, while the Q-Tease (Jen and Katelyn) tried to keep things under control. Thanks to everyone who stopped by a,d tried to play for a prize – and sucked, I might add. You really need to work on your bean bag tossing Albany, seriously. Checkout the photos below.

Why Hire A Tree Removal Service?5437744
Homes with landscaping which includes trees can be among the most stunning inside a neighborhood. Many yards feature several types of trees and shrubs that induce the diverse scenery that creates interest and visual appeal. Like the majority of life, trees used for landscape designs continue to grow, and perhaps, trees and shrubs become too big and should end up being removed. A few trees are susceptible to disease, that necessitates removal. In other cases, a house owner should not really benefit from the appearance of particular trees and shrubs as part of their landscape anymore and wish to take them off. No matter why you ought to remove the sapling from your yard, you will need to employ a professional tree removal service to complete the task.
Homeowners who attempt to tackle the task associated with removing a tree on their own usually see that they're rapidly overwhelmed by the job. Although the actual elimination end up being very difficult, it can be extremely dangerous for people who aren't experienced in the process. The greater the tree you need to eliminate is actually, the more dangerous removing it might be.
Hiring a tree plan to take down trees and shrubs in your yard can offer the reassurance of knowing that the job is done correctly as well as securely. Typical solutions include pruning, cutting, and incomplete removal of trees and shrubs to fix safety issues posed by trees which have overgrown roofs or are encroaching upon sewer outlines. Braches which hang over roofs, especially if they become diseased- present a significant chance of damaging the roof if they fall during wind storms. Sapling removal services can provide cleanup after the removal, which will help take care of the mess that may be left behind from cutting or whenever branches tend to be broken off. Numerous tree support companies will also be willing to supply fire wood, so if you possess a fireplace, you may want to think about contacting sapling removal solutions to buy wood.
Before you decide to hire a tree removal service, there's something you have to request to actually tend to be hiring a expert company. Begin by asking when the organization holds a license, and get to determine a duplicate from the license. You will then want to request if the service holds insurance that safeguards both workers and your home in the event of mishaps. When they appear, be sure to check both the license as well as insurance coverage to make sure you are safe since a house owner could be kept liable for mishaps on their own property when the clients are improperly licensed and insured.
The following essential consideration is the cost. Make sure to obtain estimates from the 3 various businesses prior to deciding on a company. You can use the internet to obtain an idea of just how much tree elimination should price, but each company exactly what the service charge consists of. Once you have designed a final choice, you'll be certain that trees and shrubs in your yard is going to be eliminated safely as well as in an expert manner which will enhance the appearance of your house.

Facebook is embracing its biggest perceived shortcoming, with a sharpened focus on educating users about the privacy settings they have available to them to help control the way their personal information is used.
The social networking company plans to share more of its user's personal data with its partners, despite the objections of the majority of users who cast a ballot in a web poll the company hosted that concluded late Monday. But the vote was non-binding because of low turnout, leaving the company to reassure its billion users that it wouldn't share their information recklessly among its own group of corporate friends.
It plans to launch an "Ask The Chief Privacy Officer" feature to the site, which will allow its billion users to submit questions directly to the company's executive in charge of all things personal. It also plans to hosts webcasts and podcasts in an effort to "educate people to a greater extent over privacy concerns," according to Facebook Canada president Jordan Banks.
"It's a question of education and information," said Mr. Banks. "It's a major area of focus for the company going forward. We're trying to bridge the gap between the appearance and the reality when it comes to people's privacy settings and the way they want to govern their experience on Facebook."
The question-and-answer format closely mirrors an initiative launched by McDonald's Canada earlier this year, which allowed customers to ask things such as "Are the fries made out of sugar" and "Why does your food look different in the advertising than what is in the store?" The questions were submitted via social media, and the answers were posted to the restaurant's website.
The issue of Facebook privacy was recently thrust back into the forefront after the Menlo Park-based social networking site said it wanted to share user data between Facebook and the Instagram photo app (among others) that it purchased last year for close $1-billion. The company held a vote on its website to see if its users supported its plans to provide data to companies it owns or partners with – but users voted overwhelming against the proposal.
Facebook has a history of allowing its users to vote on major governance changes, but those democratic exercises are only binding if 30 per cent (or about 300 million) of the site's users participate. The most recent vote ended Monday, with 88 per cent of those who participated telling the company they didn't want it to share information.
However, less than 1 per cent of the site's users took part. The company said it could abandon the voting system "in favor of a system that leads to more meaningful feedback and engagement" if it didn't break the 30 per cent threshold.
"We will be announcing the results and the next steps regarding the governance process shortly," the company posted on its governance page late Monday.
While hundreds of millions of users are drawn to the site – Canada has one of the highest rates of adoption in the world with 18 million users – they are extremely touchy about how their information is used. The company hasn't helped itself, with a series of decisions over the last eight years that have forced users to share more information than they were aware and often made it difficult to understand who was able to see what once it was posted to the site.
Most recently, there was controversy over the company's "like" button that allows users to become fans of companies and brands. Many people didn't understand that if you clicked the button, your name and picture would show up in endorsements on their friend's Facebook pages.
Mr. Banks said the company wants to do a better job of showing people how to protect the information they don't want to share, and that it will be a major focus for Facebook in the coming months.
"The most important thing to us is that you control your information and that you only engage in activities you are comfortable with," he said. "We will make sure you are more educated going forward than you were before."Report Typo/Error

Hi Customer...Tell me a bit about these student loans. That is one issue. Have you talked to a State Rehab counselor? They can sometimes intervene in these issues.
The Second issue is the small business. What kind of business are you looking at. I remember the Mongolian BBQ. Also has your son found a job? I see that you are now in NC and that was a possible university job he was interested back in 10/2007.
Do you remember this...

Hi geri...
Sorry for the delay, but I am disabled as well as my wife and I work from my home. I build web sites and I also do conflict resolution between local businesses and their employers and/or their clients. It is a form of paid arbitration. I also do new business start up consultation and provide services to start companies like designing letterheads, business cards and brochures as well as media representation for advertising. I provide outsourced resources for companies not large enough to hire in-house specialists and I provide a marriage of sorts between skilled office teams and those companies.
I am telling you this to provide you with ideas for your own in-home business ideas. Here it is: Sit down with yourself - Take a personal inventory of sorts and list ALL of your skills - Place no limits on the list - Include everything from accounting skills to xylophone tuning!!!
- Do you get my drift? Somebody somewhere in your community needs one or more of your skills and they are willing to pay for them.
You alone know your skill set. After you have compiled a good sized list (from 7 - 15 or so skills) go back and assign a priority to them with your most accomplished skills on top etc. Secondly - grab your latest phone book and go to work. SELL YOURSELF!!!
Example: Perhaps your skill set includes customer letter writing skills. Find a real Estate company. Put together a dummy letter asking a new couple how they are settling in to their new home and set up a time at their convenience to come by and chat as a courtesy call. If you know a vet, dentist or chiropractor - they may be open to the same ideas. I know - a lot of professionals do send out cards to clients like "It's time to have your cat/dog waxed" (ha ha) or whatever. But it is your job to convince them that a personally handwritten letter is more... You could write a generic letter using a script font and mass produce them. These are just ideas.
Here are some links that may help. Watch the video from ABC. It is exciting...
Here is a video link from from abc7.com:Work-at-home parents become a growing trendhttp://abclocal.go.com/kabc/video?id=7256662
As for your student loans, Are they breathing down your neck for payment now? If the company you can not contact is out of business, perhaps they can wait. You need to focus on finding your niche and the pressure to repay may hinder you with unnecessary stress. If there is no pressure, put that on the back burner for a while.
I hope this helps.
You may have legal recourse if it was a gov supported school. Post another question to the legal dept and you should get a decent answer in due time...
Good luck...
Thank youCustomer..
Feel free to put my name in the post as, "I am requesting XXXXX XXXXX to help with this question" or "This is for XXXXX XXXXX"
My wife and I are both disabled and have been for most of our married life of 29 yrs this coming April so I have a large compassion for people who are taking the attitude of, "I might be disabled, but I refuse to give up."
Your kind words have inspired my to continue for at least another day. Thank you so much.

Giving employers the right to force their staff to join the company pension scheme is the centrepiece of an imminent report into pensions by Alan Pickering, former chairman of the National Association of Pension Funds.
Staff have been free to opt out of company schemes in favour of private provision since 1988, when personal pensions were introduced.
Pickering is also expected to tell ministers they should consider scrapping the second State pension as a way of simplifying the complicated pensions industry. He warned that doing nothing would lead to poverty in old age: 'If we don't change our regulatory ways, the danger is not mis-selling but not selling or not buying,' he said in an interview .
The outlook for pensions has worsened in recent months as dozens of blue-chip employers axe generous 'final-salary' style schemes for new recruits in favour of cheaper 'money purchase' schemes. With final-salary schemes, employees are guaranteed a pension regardless of how long they live or how poorly the stock market performs. With money purchase schemes, all the risk passes to the employee.
With rising longevity and falling investment returns, the industry has been warning that people are not saving nearly enough for their old age.
Pickering said that he wanted to cut red tape and simplify pensions. The current range of more than 20 pensions should be cut to just two or three. Pickering, a partner with pensions experts Watson Wyatt, also called for a relaxation of the rules for both companies and employees. People should be given more freedom to contribute to more than one pension at a time, he said.

too used to stat/skill resetters.
I'd be moving into a game where it's "you mess up you have to remake your character lololololol" instead of "pay X money to fix it"
Lol, I'm going to start playing RO again on valkyrie after I fix the stupid patch_allow.txt error I've been getting on my XP
Currently playing League of Legends. Summoner name : Don
Also, I,m lvl 58/44... 6 more jobs lvl... I must... persevere....
I wish I didn't need all those precious skill point and that I could change at 40 T_T... but I need my firewall maxed..
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-27-2009 at 03:07 PM.
I will need firewall once I get wizz though to stop monsters from attacking me when I will be casting.
Update on my level 59/45 ( man it's gettin pretty rough) I may play a bit more later today...
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-27-2009 at 10:28 PM.
JT's cast is pretty long, but I have the time to cast 2 level 10 firebolt and 1 lvl 5 firebolt while a geo is frozen. (and my dex is only at 20)
Also, I have the intention of getting to job level 50 and no matter what you guys say, I'm going to max both frost diver and fire wall (pretty useful to slow down monsters). I'll have to test what's most efficient for wizzy skills though I'm not sure yet which ones to use.
I might just not max heaven's drive and max LoV SG and MS so I can use SG and then LoV.. or I might max heaven's drive and use SG MS and FD+JT
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-27-2009 at 11:19 PM.
Sides SG1 is always going to freeze the monster if it's freezable. FD is a waste of time, because it's not always a 100% chance of freezing a monster-- As well as if any other monsters randomly spawn on you, they'll freeze while you have SG running anyhow.
And JT isn't a bad choice to use in the beginning even IF it does seem a bit slow when you first get it. The damage output is worth it.
Last edited by Elenaya; 05-27-2009 at 11:24 PM.
Please, keep in mind SG is the longest cast of all.
And anyway, I'm not debating if I'll get FD (already have it and I'm using it a lot), I'm wondering if I should get LoV or JT.
I can max all the skills I need as a mage.
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-27-2009 at 11:30 PM.
Don't you need Frost Diver to get Storm Gust anyway? LOL
As long as you don't max it, I guess it'd be okay.
Anywho, SG is going to be your main attack.. so I guess it'd be essential to save as much skill points in order to get it.
Distribute them accordingly.
EDIT: Couldn't you get both LoV and JT?
No if I max MS and Quagmire, the best I could get would be LoV 10 and JT 8 or the opposite.
(Yes I'm focussing alot on slowing my ennemy. Quagmire Frost Diver and Firewall, I'm gettin the 3)
Also... this time I really think Pinay abandonned us
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-27-2009 at 11:40 PM.
Also when you get higher level, the speed of your casts will be very fast and the original delay of your skills won't really even cross your mind anymore.
Also I'd never leave a Wizard without JT. It's a great skill. You can also keep stacking JTs on top of one another, it pushes the opponent back insanely, as well as does a LOT of damage.
I'd suggest getting JT10 no matter what.
Also what reason would you ever want to max quag for?
Last edited by Elenaya; 05-28-2009 at 12:38 AM.
Also, stop arguing it's starting to get on my nerves.
I'm going to build my character according to my playstyle.
Enough leveling for today, lvl 61/46, 4 more levels, I hope to be wizzard by the end of the week.
Also yay my first rare drop, a geo card <3 (not really all that good but hey it's the only rare drop I got yet)
Mann bubbles you didn't log in today and I got too high to share you'll have to find someone else to leech until you reach our share lvl
Last edited by DarkAztaroth; 05-28-2009 at 03:04 AM.
If you have high DEX then casting time wouldnt be a problem. Try getting it to 120+ or better yet 150 to make it instant cast.

Treatment program for young people focuses on family
May 08, 2012 - Dallas Morning News | By Nancy Churnin
Then they heard the last diagnosis they expected for their 11-year-old daughter: anorexia nervosa. Hearing that her life was becoming "medically unstable," Cynthia Rinehart and Thetis LeMaistre quickly packed what they needed from their San Antonio home and drove to the Center for Pediatric Eating Disorders at Children's Medical Center, which offers the only inpatient eating disorder program in North Texas for those 18 and younger.
The center, which has been treating children for more than 20 years, expanded its focus on the family's role in recovery when it moved to a new location at Children's at Legacy in Plano in November. Intensive family therapy, including separate sessions for parents and children and sessions together, trains parents to become their children's coaches as they eat together at the facility's cafeteria.
The holistic approach also integrates art, music, pet and outdoor therapy, cooking workshops, peer support and, for the first time this spring, an opportunity to grow and harvest vegetables and herbs in an outdoor garden with the aim of fostering a healthier regard for food.
The number of people with eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia, is hard to assess because anorexics hide food they pretend they've eaten, and bulimics hide the fact that they're purging.
Still, it's estimated that at least 10 million females and 1 million males in the United States suffer from anorexia and bulimia, with millions more struggling with binge eating, according to Lynn Grefe, president and CEO of the National Eating Disorders Association. NEDA also reports that more than half of teenage girls and one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy means of weight control.
Anorexia has the highest premature fatality rate of any mental illness, according to a1995 study in the American Journal of Psychiatry, the most recent statistics backed by NEDA and Children's Medical Center. The risk of death from suicide or medical complications is markedly higher for people with eating disorders, according to a study published in 2009 in the same journal.
Suicide is a concern of the Elisa Project, a Dallas nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and providing resources for those with eating disorders. It's named in honor of Elisa McCall of Dallas, who committed suicide at 20 after a battle with bulimia, which was revealed in journal entries after her death.
While people associate the disease with teen girls, experts say they see it at all ages in both genders, starting as young as 6.
"The incidence of boys is definitely on the rise," says Dr. Stephanie Setliff, a psychiatrist and assistant professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center who directs the Children's Medical Center program.
"Boys are under increasing pressure to look a certain way, to perform in sports, to get into college. It's very common for coaches to make remarks such as, 'You would be a faster runner if you lost weight,' or 'You would wrestle better at this weight.' "
Setliff attributes the overall rise in eating disorders to the increased stress children face — from the financial and resulting emotional pressures of the recession to peer pressure and bullying in social media.
Dr. Craig Johnson, an author, researcher, clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Oklahoma Medical School and chief clinical officer of the Eating Recovery Center, which offers inpatient treatment in Denver, says he also sees a correlation with the recent push for everyone to diet and exercise.
While that's a laudable goal, he estimates that 5 percent of the population takes it to an unhealthy extreme.
"The two strategies to combat obesity are diet and exercise, but these are the gateway behaviors to eating disorders," Johnson says.
That may have been the case for Eric G. Torres of Garland. His stepfather, Juan Renteria, says Eric was 14 when he started talking about wanting to be healthier. Renteria noticed Eric eating less, eating more slowly, going on the Internet to check on calories and spending increasing time studying the ingredients on food boxes. When Eric was 15, Renteria saw him without his shirt and gasped.
"My first impression was, 'Man, you are going to die. Your body is bones everywhere. Tell me what is wrong.' He said, 'I feel all right.' "
Eventually Renteria convinced Eric that he needed help and got him into the program at Children's, where Eric, now 16, spent months learning a better approach to food.
Johnson urges parents to be aware that there can be a physiological as well as a psychological component to the disorder. "Dieting and exercise alter brain chemistry. Everyone doesn't have the same vulnerability to these neurochemical events in the brain. But for some, particularly families that have histories of eating disorders, these changes can trigger anorexia and bulimia."
Caitlin's parents have had their own struggles with food over the years, but she says she began her journey to anorexia after a checkup in the fall when her doctor told her she was 2 pounds overweight.
She started out restricting certain types and amounts of foods. By January, she was suffering from dizzy spells, but didn't know how to reverse the process. "People said I looked skinny. I started trying to eat more, but it wasn't making a big difference."
The experts at Children's Medical Center examine contributing psychological factors in individual and family therapy. At the same time, they maintain a steady re-education about food.
Caitlin worked with her parents to create a list of foods in three categories — red for the ones she does not want to eat, yellow for the ones she will eat but doesn't want to and green for the ones she will eat.
She picks something from the red and yellow lists to try at each meal with the goal of moving foods to the green category. She takes off her hoodie as required, so she does not have long sleeves or pockets in which to hide food, and eats with a timer, knowing that she must finish everything on her plate in 30 minutes. When she finishes, she pulls out a "Re-Think Sheet" from her folder and writes down her "Automatic Thoughts."
For a breakfast in March, she wrote: "It went good. I feel guilty because I know sausage is a fatty kind of meat and the buttermilk biscuit just leaves me with a guilty feeling. Feeling full also makes me feel guilty."
In another category, called "Alternative Thought," she writes: "Your brain is made up of fat so the fat in the sausage patty will help with that. So will the protein in it. The biscuit can be converted to glucose."
Cynthia Rinehart, a middle school science teacher, smiles as she reads this.
Caitlin, she says proudly, wants to be a marine biologist.
But first, this fifth-grader, who loves music and reading and science, wants to get well. Speaking in a whispery voice, Caitlin says she's learning "to talk to people more," referring to other patients. She appreciates, too, the encouragement to share more with her parents.
"The best thing is getting closer with my family," she says.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --- UC Irvine drew three walks in the top of the ninth but came up empty in a 3-2 loss to Pepperdine Tuesday at the Dodgertown Classic at Dodger Stadium.
Scott Gottschling worked a full-count base on balls to kick off the ninth for UCI, the designated visiting team, but the Anteaters grounded into a double-play. Still, with two outs, Wave reliever Aaron Brown's struggles continued as he issued back-to-back walks to Taylor Sparks and Chris Rabago. Pepperdine turned to Michael Swanner, who came on in relief and induced an infield pop-up to preserve the win.
Phillip Ferragamo made the start for UCI, pitching four innings and giving up two earned runs on four hits. The sophomore right-hander allowed a leadoff double in the bottom of the first but then had to contend with an error that would have been the second out of the inning. Tony Cooper extended the inning with a walk and Sam Meyer capitalized with an infield hit to tie the game at 1-1. Brown, who started the game in right field, drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly to left. Ferragamo took the loss to fall to 1-1.
For the Anteaters, D.J. Crumlich doubled to lead off the top of the first and Jeff Stephens delivered a two-out hit through the left side to put UCI on the board.
Trailing 2-1 in the top of the second, UCI loaded the bases on three straight walks and Taylor Sparks executed on the squeeze play as Christian Ramirez came in to score the tying run.
The Waves took the lead for good in the fifth on the sacrifice fly by Zach Vincej to score Austin Davison, who doubled to lead off the frame and was sacrificed to third.
Wave started Matt Maurer pitched 5.1 innings held UCI to two runs on two hits to collect the win and improve to 3-0. Swanner eanred his first save.
UCI continues action Wednesday against Washington State at Cicerone Field at Anteater Ballpark. First pitch is slated for 6:30 p.m.

This primarily considers IDPA competition since USPSA has become so dominated by customized pistols and sights. (you are not likely to carry around one).
Do you carry the same gun you compete with, or the same make/model or something substantially the same?
I don't think carrying a Glock 17 and competing with a 34 is substantially the same.
But Shooting a Cz75Shadow for competition and carrying a Cz75B might be substantially the same.
The debate came up in an experimental Action Pistol competition where they are trying to rewrite a better game than IDPA, and they excluded all guns with barrels longer than 5" because they want to keep the competition to a class used truly for CCW.

Galileo Telescope Philippines
The Galileo telescope is the cheapest and affordable way for budding Filipino astronomers to explore the night sky.
Here's a product review by Paul Atchong Hilario, Physics graduate student in U.P. Diliman and U.P. Astrosoc member:
I just bought my first telescope today, a Galileo scope with 15x magnification, and gave it first light. Yes that means I used it to view heavenly objects. I was afraid at first that it is not worth it but believe me when I say I was wrong. It gave me a very nice impression.
The truth is it a rather nice telescope. It promises to be usable when viewing the moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter with the moons, Saturn and a number of deep sky objects. As a test, due to cloudy skies early tonight, I used it to view Plaeiades, Orion Nebula and Hyades. I must admit, I was impressed. Its magnification is good enough to appreciate the heavenly bodies mentioned. It also has the crisp of a refractive telescope. Sorry, I can't pose any photos cause I haven't tried to take one yet.
The Galileo telescope is one of the many core projects in celebration of the International Year of Astronomy. It aims to allow us to appreciate what Galileo saw 400 years ago. The Galileo scope is a replica of Galileo's telescope, with which he saw Jupiter's moons, Saturn's rings, moon craters and the sun (which burned his eye), only more powerful because of the techniques we have in making lenses. It comes in two forms (or at least the ones available in the Philippines), a 15x version (G15x) and a 35x version (G35x). The numbers indicate the magnification it can do. 15x means an object will appear 1/15 times closer the same is true for 35x (which would make the objects appear more than twice as close as with 15x). Now regarding the resolution and light gathering power, it seems that they are at par since they have the same aperture. You can see the attached file for reference. You can order your scopes at the numbers indicated in the brochures.
For a telescope, a decent magnification would help. However, let me stress out that a telescope does not make small things appear large but rather far things appear near. Furthermore, for astronomical purposes, these very far objects are usually very dim. Hence, you want more light from them. This is achieved by having a bigger aperture. Also, a bigger aperture would mean better resolution (Note: better resolution does not mean bigger, it actually means smaller). Hence, more details. Noting at the specs of both scopes, it means that they have almost the same power.
The main advantage of a G35x is that two points will appear to have bigger angular separation distance which will make them easily distinguishable. In terms of the objects you can see, the G35x and G15x are relatively the same. It will depend on how good you are in observing. The instrument is only as good as its user. A G35x is, however, enclosed in a paper tube which will make it more vulnerable. A G15x is enclosed in a plastic tube which will make it more durable and easier to assemble.
A word of caution for more experienced amateur astronomers. Though having a Galileo telescope would allow you to experience Galileo's astronomical feat, having a Galileo telescope as a main scope is not quite a good idea. It's power is comparable to a decent pair of binoculars which is just as cheap. But since the Galileo scopes come with an option for a tripod, you have the advantage of stability. But you can also mount your binoculars on a tripod.
All in all, I think it is worth it. And it is a around 4x cheaper than the toy telescopes available at the malls making it much better for starting amateur astronomers.
Ad astra per aspera!

Black Friday warriors share their best attack plans
By Mitch Lipka
(Reuters) - When Aimee Brittain's team hits the stores in a commando-like fashion on Thanksgiving night in search of Black Friday deals, they'll stand out from the crowd in their matching "very bright blue" shirts. They'll scatter when they hit the store, and the shirts will help them see each other quickly.
It's different for the Goldman sisters. Stephanie Goldman, a Cliffside Park, New Jersey, public relations executive, and her sisters Nadine Kleinman of Highland Park, New Jersey, and Valerie Goldman of Washington, D.C., travel in a pack, flooding one zone at a time.
The strategy, honed when Stephanie was a young teen, has helped them score priority bargains, like the time they got $900 worth of clothes from Ann Taylor for about $100. They went that Black Friday to an outlet store, already full of discounted items, hit the clearance rack, where prices were further reduced, then tacked on the credit-card application discount.
This year, Black Friday starts earlier than ever, with some retailers, including Wal-Mart, opening early on Thanksgiving evening. About 140 million people were expected to shop over the four-day weekend, according to the National Retail Federation.
Goldman, Brittain and other warriors who will prowl for deals on the busiest of shopping days took time from their mission planning to share war stories and tips to those who want to spend less and get more on the day after Thanksgiving. Here are their tips and tales:
A Black Friday neophyte will shop without a plan. The veteran shopper knows where to go and when, what to buy, and how much to pay.
Goldman and her sisters start months ahead. Over calls and emails, they analyze sales flyers and figure out where the best deals are on the items they want to buy. Many flyers have been available for weeks - Macy's and Toys R Us for example - collected on sites such as BlackFriday.com. Continued...

Sir Montagu Chapman, 3rd Baronet
Sir Montagu Lowther Chapman (19 December 1808 – 17 May 1852) was an Irish landowner and Member of Parliament (MP).
He was born at Killua Castle, Westmeath, the son of Sir Thomas Chapman, 2nd Baronet and graduated from Trinity College, Dublin. He succeeded his father to the baronetcy and the Killua estate in 1837.
He was elected Member of Parliament for Westmeath in the UK Parliament in 1830, holding the seat until 1841, after which it passed to his brother.[1] In that same year he visited Australia and on 14 June 1842 was granted title to a large estate near Adelaide, which he leased out as smaller farms. Many of the farms were leased to tenants from his own Irish estate, from where 120 people emigrated to Australia.[2] Originally named Montagu's Farm, the area is now known as Gepp's Cross.
He was appointed High Sheriff of Westmeath for 1844.
He died in 1852 on a sea voyage from Melbourne to Sydney, when the vessel in which he was sailing disappeared without trace. He had never married and his Irish and Australian estates were inherited by his younger brother Benjamin.

Insufficient evidence to prove Alamo Heights man abused infant son
Updated 8:21 am, Thursday, May 8, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — A child abuse charge against an Alamo Heights man accused of causing brain injury to his infant son is no longer being pursued.
Ryan Schwope was charged in February with causing serious bodily injury to a child. His 2-month-old son had a seizure in November after Schwope said he "burped" the child with a hard slapping motion on Schwope's first night watching the baby alone, according to police.
Medical personnel took him to Methodist Children's Hospital, where doctors said blood had collected on the surface of his brain in places consistent with physical abuse. Blood had also seeped into the tissues in the back wall of the baby's eye.
At the time, an expert told the Alamo Heights Police Department the baby had been injured within the previous hour, said Cliff Herberg, first assistant district attorney.
However, during a Child Protective Services hearing, that expert broadened the window of time during which the injury could have occurred, and another expert said the injury could have occurred within the past week, Herberg said.
News Channel
"At that point, it was impossible to show who allegedly inflicted the injuries to the child," Herberg said.
The case was sent back to the Alamo Heights Police Department for further investigation, Herberg said.
Alamo Heights police said Wednesday their part in the investigation was complete, but noted that the case could be re-addressed at anytime within the charge's statute of limitations.

Emma Bunton and Mel C have claimed there will never be another girl band as big as the Spice Girls.
Speaking ahead of a mini-reunion on Saturday, which will see the pair, below, duetting at the Regent Street Christmas lights switch-on, they also revealed that the door was open for all five members to get back together.
The group sold more than 80 million records, making them by far the most successful girl band of all time. They split in 2000, reuniting for a tour in 2007 and to appear at the Olympics closing ceremony last year. Mel C, 39, said: "What happened to us really was a phenomenon. We really seemed to strike the right chord. But the industry has changed so much. Even if you had a band that had the success that we had, it would be difficult to match the record sales. People just don't buy albums like they used to."
The pair will sing the band's first Christmas number one, 2 Become 1. Bunton, 37, now a Heart DJ, said: "It will be very emotional for us and I will probably have a tear in my eye. It was a huge part of our lives, and we will continue [as the Spice Girls] whenever we can." Mel C said of another full reunion: "You never know."

A man is under arrest after a Milton woman barricaded herself in her bathroom yesterday, hoping to protect herself from a man who police say was trying to kill her.
Halton Regional Police received a call around 3 p.m. yesterday from a Milton resident who said a gun had been fired inside their home.
The woman then locked herself in her bathroom to hide from the accused, said Det. Sgt. Peter Corner.
Once she felt safe enough to escape, the woman ran to a neighbour's house where she called police.
The woman was not injured.
A 70-year old man from Milton has been arrested in connection with the incident, and has been charged with attempted murder, uttering threats, careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm and using a firearm in the commission of an offence.
Det. Sgt. Corner said police will not be releasing the name of the arrested so as to protect the identity of the victim.

Remember going through the automatic car wash as a kid in your mom and dad's car? That feeling of being inside something so mechanical, so loud, and so much more sci-fi futuristic than any of your parents' other errands. Now, as adults, car washes are a boring necessity — that is, unless you take your ride to Clean Freak, where you can recapture the fantastical feeling of your childhood. Plus, the staff is friendly, and the deals are priced right. A regular wash is $5, takes just three minutes, and includes vacuuming. Step it up with the Freaky Clean for $8 or the Obsessively Clean for $10, complete with undercarriage power wash and Turtle Wax ICE. Can't keep the desert dust off your car? Unlimited monthly washes start at $20.
There are three factors that contribute to a good shot of espresso — beans, machine, and barista. If even one of the pieces of that trifecta is off, your shot of espresso can suffer. Luckily, the boys behind Scottsdale Quarter's Press Coffee Roasters have the process down. Created with their bold house-roasted Twitch Espresso Blend and pulled by their talented baristas off their top-of-the-line Synesso espresso machine, the end result is a perfectly balanced earthy shot of espresso with hints of sweet fruit, notes of chocolate, and a slightly smoky finish.A great way to start the day — or make sure it doesn't start too early.
Great coffee starts with high-quality beans, and the folks at Cartel score only the best from Brazil for their impressive Black Market Espresso. The four-bean blend is sourced from a single high-elevation farm in the Sul de Mina region of Brazil, where it goes through its natural pulping process on-site before it is shipped off the farm. Cartel then roasts these beans to perfection, creating a bold-flavored coffee with citrus and chocolate notes and a dash of sweetness.
We were sold on this quaint and cozy coffee shop the second that designer-turned-barista Pat Flanagan opened the doors of his freshly remodeled spot last spring. The warm interior and interesting artwork begs you to take a few minutes out of your day to stay and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee (beans courtesy of Lux). But Carmel's isn't just a coffee house — it serves a full menu of delicious breakfast and lunch treats. Fresh-baked quiches, scones, and muffins, flaky croissant sandwiches, and even crepes are available. When the weather permits, Carmel's has plenty of patio space to savor your coffee while watching traffic go by on Camelback.
All of the sudden, there's a lot of coffee competition on Roosevelt Row. But for us, there's no contest. Fresh house-roasted beans, an in-house bakery, an omelet bar, and a beautiful selection of rotating artwork are just a few reasons why Lola is our go-to downtown coffee shop. Artisan coffee roaster and latte art fanatic Daniel Wayne has created a laid-back atmosphere with a welcoming demeanor — and some of the best whipped cream in town. The espresso-infused whip gives Lola's coffee drinks a sweet and creamy kick. Try the dark chocolate and orange Café Borgia or the coffee shop's almost famous Matador.
Crepes and coffee go together like peanut butter and jelly, David Lee Roth and Van Halen, or vodka and Red Bull. Without one, the other is lonely and incomplete. Thankfully, Cupz N' Crepes is keeping the coffee-and-crepe team together at its Paris-inspired shop in Ahwatukee. Dig into a delicate crepe packed full of sweet Nutella and ripe bananas or the savory Veggie Delight, filled with spinach, tomatoes, and goat cheese. The coffee is always fresh and the bold espresso drinks are expertly crafted. A can't-miss breakfast or lunch stop on the south side of town.

No problem:
It's thin metal. You can probably cut it with household scissors, or a utility knife. Worst case, use a cold chisel. It might not be pretty, but it'll work.
Make the cut at the bottom, not at the top. Smooth it out as best you canmaybe fold the bottom edge over the mag-well lip. Burnish it in place with the thin shaft of a small-blade screwdriver.
Don't use your wife's best sewing scissors, though.

Nora G. Pratt
Nora was peacefully taken to Heaven on July 28, 2006 where she joined her late husband, Jim, and eldest son, Dennis.
Nora was born in Seattle on February 8, 1931 to Robert and Myrtle Fullerton. Experiencing a hard life growing up, she promised herself that her children and their children would have a better life. She gave exactly that, bestowing upon her family, as well as her friends, her strength, kindness and a love that no other could give. With open arms, a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen, she was always there to help.
She was an extraordinary woman; full of life, full of love, always giving and always supportive. She greatly enjoyed the outdoors, whether she was merely working in her garden or out camping with family. Traveling played a large part in her life, as she explored most of the United States and even cruised through the Panama Canal and Alaska with her husband. A definite book worm, she loved to sit outside and read. She found pleasure and peace walking her Yorkshire Terrier, Molli Sue, every morning, and also delighted in visiting her dearest friend, Evelyn Douglas and her two Yorkies.
Nora is survived by two children; son, Thomas Pratt (Betty) and daughter, Cheri Pratt, four granddaughters; Jami Arroyo (Vernon), Tori Pratt (Gary), Ashley Malmgren (Keith), and Jodi Pratt, and two great-grandsons; Jessup and Gary and grand dog Sassi. She is also survived by two sisters, one brother and many nieces and nephews. As well as by those directly related,
Nora will be remembered by the people she referred to as "extended family members"; she never felt that family should be restricted by blood.
A memorial service will be held at a later date in her home where her family and friends can celebrate her life.

Georgia - TCU Game Notes
Dec. 18, 2012
Georgia Concludes Pre-Holiday Slate
No. 6 Georgia wraps up the pre-holiday portion of the 2012-13 campaign on Wednesday evening when it faces TCU in Fort Worth. The game will tip at 7:00 p.m. CENTRAL and will air regionally on FOX Sports Southwest and nationally on the FOX College Sports Channel.
Probable Starters
#Assists Per Game
Head Coach: Andy Landers
#Assists Per Game
Jeff Mittie
Starting Five
· UGA looks for its sixth 12-0 start during Andy Landers' 34 seasons at UGA
Keeping an eye on...entering the Lipscomb game:
Andy Landers is...
Series History With TCU
Georgia owns a 5-1 lead in its all-time series with TCU, including a 2-0 mark in Forth Worth.
Last time out...
The No. 6 Georgia Lady Bulldogs bettered their largest margin of victory this season in defeating Lipscomb, 93-42, Sunday at Stegeman Coliseum.
Longer Line Produced Record 3's
The foot added to the distance for the three-point shot in women's basketball -- from 19-feet, 9-inches to 20-feet, 9-inches -- at the start of the 2011-12 season didn't seem to concern Georgia or TCU a year ago.
Of starts and streaks...
The Lady Bulldogs' 11-0 record equals their sixth-best start ever and represents the 19th double-digit win streak in the program's history.
Only 8 Remain Undefeated
Georgia is one of just eight remaining undefeated Division I women's basketball teams during the 2012-13 season.
Lady Bulldogs hit "magic number"
Georgia has furthered one of the greatest statistical indicators in any sport four times this season.
The Lady Bulldogs put up 80 or more points against Savannah State, St. Bonaventure, Furman and Mercer...and in the process improved to 423-6 when reaching the 80-point plateau under Andy Landers.
That converts to an almost unfathomable winning percentage of .986013986. It also highlights the fact that Georgia has scored more than 80 points in over 50 percent of Landers' victories with the Lady Bulldogs.
UGA, James Top-10 Statistically
The Lady Bulldogs are among the nation's top-10 teams in five stats.
Hassell hits millennium as well
Jasmine Hassell scored her 1,000th career point against Savannah State.
Hassell became the 33rd UGA player to reach that plateau. She has since moved past Saudia Roundtree and Megan Darrah into the No. 31 position.
The former McDonald's and WBCA prep All-American from Wilson Central High in Lebanon, Tenn., has developed consistently throughout her career. She scored 211 (6.2 ppg) as a freshman, improved to 327 (9.6 ppg) points as a sophomore and bumped that up to a team-high 402 (13.0 ppg) as a junior.
A milestone in the making
Anne Marie Armstrong needs 141 points to become the third member of Georgia's senior class to reach 1,000.
Armstrong could join Jasmine James and Jasmine Hassell among the Lady Bulldogs' 1,000-point club and become just the second trio of classmates to join that sorority.
To date, the only three classmates to top 1,000 career points for the Lady Bulldogs are 1997's La'Keshia Frett (No. 7 with 1,850 points), Tracy Henderson (No. 9 with 1,764) and Kedra Holland-Corn (No. 13 with 1,566).
Playing time being distributed
A year ago, six Lady Bulldogs averaged between 20.0 and 34.5 minutes per game. All told, five different players logged all 40 minutes of a game a combined 25 times.
This season, depth is allowing more equal distribution of playing time.
Nine Georgia players are averaging between 16.6 and 23.6 minutes played. Jasmine James leads the Lady Bulldogs in minutes played. By contrast, James averaged 35.4 mpg and played 24 minutes or more in 86 of 91 games played during her first three seasons at in Athens.
Freshmen garnering PT
Georgia's quartet of freshmen has logged significant minutes for the Lady Bulldogs from the get-go.

DC Jews Vote on Easter Sunday
DC Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld made sure all Jews could participate in a special DC election, after he sued the city's election board for scheduling an election of an at-large DC council member and two State Board of Education members on the last day of Passover. Since observant Jews would not have been able to vote in the Tuesday election, a federal judge ruled that ballot boxes be for early voting on Easter Sunday to accommodate them. Herzfeld, leader of the Ohev Sholom Synagogue, arranged a bus to take voters to the Judiciary Square polling station.
Check out the article and video here.

You can't ask for well-thought-out changes off day 1, week 1, or mostly even month 1 play...and that's when the game is out and everyone's in the lab.
Everyone (should) be mindful that if there isn't a new generation after my generation, the FGC (fighting game community) will basically become extinct, so it's important to think about the future.

Ok so since I've put together this new computer, my dvd drive detects, but will not play dvd's....
it says
(in Interactual) - "Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem.Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem
(in Media Player) - "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer.
Mind you the only thing new in this computer, is the cpu, memory, and motherboard. I performed a fresh install when i put it all together, and I have run dvd's using this video card before.
I have a p4 2.53, corsair xms3200 256mb, maxtor 80gb udma 133 8mb, soyo p4x400 mobo, gf4 ti4200 128, a tdk 8x4x32 cdrw, and a pioneer dvd-115
the cdrw is the secondary master, and dvd is secondary slave.. same as in my old system..
any thoughts why the dvd has just now magically stopped working?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
The Everly Brothers
Don (born February 1, 1937) and Phil (born January 19, 1939) were professionals way before their teens, schooled by their accomplished guitarist father Ike, and singing with their family on radio broadcasts in Iowa. In the mid-'50s, they made a brief stab at conventional Nashville country with Columbia. When their single flopped, they were cast adrift for quite a while until they latched onto Cadence. Don invested their first single for the label, "Bye Bye Love," with a Bo Diddley beat that helped lift the song to number two in 1957.
"Bye Bye Love" began a phenomenal three-year string of classic hit singles for Cadence, including "Wake Up Little Susie," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Bird Dog," "('Til) I Kissed You," and "When Will I Be Loved." The Everlys sang of young love with a heart-rending yearning and compelling melodies. The harmonies owed audible debts to Appalachian country music, but were imbued with a keen modern pop sensibility that made them more accessible without sacrificing any power or beauty. They were not as raw as the wild rockabilly men from Sun Records, but they could rock hard when they wanted. Even their midtempo numbers and ballads were executed with a force missing in the straight country and pop tunes of the era. The duo enjoyed a top-notch support team of producer Archie Bleyer, great Nashville session players like Chet Atkins, and the brilliant songwriting team of Boudleaux and Felice Bryant. Don, and occasionally Phil, wrote excellent songs of their own as well.
In 1960, the Everlys left Cadence for a lucrative contract with the then-young Warner Bros. label (though it's not often noted, the Everlys would do a lot to establish Warners as a major force in the record business). It's sometimes been written that the duo never recaptured the magic of their Cadence recordings, but actually Phil and Don peaked both commercially and artistically with their first Warners releases. "Cathy's Clown," their first Warners single, was one of their greatest songs and a number one hit. Their first two Warners LPs, employing a fuller and brasher production than their Cadence work, were not just among their best work, but two of the best rock albums of the early '60s. The hits kept coming for a couple of years, some great ("Walk Right Back," "Temptation"), some displaying a distressing, increasing tendency toward soft pop and maudlin sentiments ("Ebony Eyes," "That's Old Fashioned").
Don and Phil's personal lives came under a lot of stress in the early '60s: they enlisted into the Marine Corps Reserves (together), and studied acting for six months but never made a motion picture. More seriously, Don developed an addiction to speed and almost died of an overdose in late 1962. By that time, their career as chart titans in the U.S. had ended; "That's Old Fashioned" (1962) was their last Top Ten hit. Their albums became careless, erratic affairs, which was all the more frustrating because many of their flop singles of the time were fine, even near-classic efforts that demonstrated they could still deliver the goods.
Virtually alone among first-generation rock & roll superstars, the Everlys stuck with no-nonsense rock & roll and remained determined to keep their sound contemporary, rather than drifting toward soft pop or country like so many others. Although their mid-'60s recordings were largely ignored in America, they contained some of their finest work, including a ferocious Top 40 single in 1964 ("Gone, Gone, Gone"). They remained big stars overseas -- in 1965, "Price of Love" went to number two in the U.K. at the height of the British Invasion. They incorporated jangling Beatle/Byrdesque guitars into some of their songs and recorded a fine album with the Hollies (who were probably more blatantly influenced by the Everlys than any other British band of the time). In the late '60s, they helped pioneer country-rock with the 1968 album Roots, their most sophisticated and unified full-length statement. None of this revived their career as hitmakers, though they could always command huge audiences on international tours and hosted a network TV variety show in 1970.
The decades of enforced professional togetherness finally took their toll on the pair in the early '70s, which saw a few dispirited albums and, finally, an acrimonious breakup in 1973. They spent the next decade performing solo, which only proved -- as is so often the case in close-knit artistic partnerships -- how much each brother needed the other to sound his best. In 1983, enough water had flowed under the bridge for the two to resume performing and recording together. The tours, with a backup band led by guitarist Albert Lee, proved they could still sing well. The records (both live and studio) were fair efforts that, in the final estimation, were not in nearly the same league as their '50s and '60s classics, although Paul McCartney penned a small hit single for them ("On the Wings of a Nightingale"). One of the more successful and dignified reunions in the rock annals, the Everlys continued to perform live, although they didn't release albums together after the late '80s. Phil Everly died on January 3, 2014 from complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; he was 74 years old. ~ Richie Unterberger
