Nokia 3110 Unlocked:
Featuring a fittingly classic design in a candy bar form, the Nokia 3110 features a 1.3 megapixel camera and a large 2.2" color screen that displays 262k colors. The display should allow for easy viewing of the user's most recent photos taken with the 3110's camera. The Nokia 3110 supports a wide range of connectivity that includes Bluetooth, Infrared, and miniUSB. Nokia claims that the 3110 Classic should be highly durable and dependable thanks to its simple design and use of thick plastics. But the 3110 is not only practical; it also offers an on-board stereo MP3 player and FM stereo radio.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Bradley's is kind of like a fraternity house for guys who've been out of college for ten years. The beer still flows, and the hot chicks still stop by. The only difference is that now these former slackers have a few bucks to blow, and blow it they do, on happy-hour specials from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. each weekday. A complimentary buffet and Intracoastal water views make this a sweet hangout and a prime place to bust out your toga.
Fort Lauderdale finally got its big-time rock venue last year. Revolution does more than hip-hop, dance, and house beats. The Himmarshee club brings big names to town. So far, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, Slayer, and Mos Def, among others, have graced the stage of the former Edge, Chili Pepper, and Star Bar. On a good night, 3,000 people crowd in. Manager Jackie Bressler, a former Deadhead from (where else?) New Jersey, and her management team (including production manager Jason Bray, head of security Archie Powles, and operations director Shane Berry) have a long-term entry in Fort Lauderdale club life on their hands. At least, we hope so.
Success on the club scene involves risks, Bressler says. It's like her choice of carny amusements. "I was always into the rides," she says. "The scarier and faster, the better." Sounds like a prescription for a club named Revolution.
Dark, loud, smelly, and glorious, the Poor House is everything a real rock 'n' roll bar should be. There's a tangible sense of reckless excess within its smoke-stained walls, a well-lacquered, incidental hipness developed from years of serious drinking and heavy shredding. Think spring break meets the Sunset Strip and you get an idea of the kind of head-banging, shot-taking shenanigans that go down. With a no-cover policy and a roster that ranges from boogie-friendly blues to max-rock bands like AC Cobra and Pandabite, Poor House offers something for everyone every night of the week (as long as you don't mind Third World bathroom conditions). Cheap drinks made stiff by a surprisingly courteous bar staff keep the eardrums relatively numb to the sound system's cranked-past-ten volume, so don't be afraid to get in front of the low stage and make an ass of yourself. This is rock 'n' roll, after all.
There's a hedge between Waxy O' Connor's and the busy 17th Street Causeway that serves to enclose a rollicking outdoor seating section, where pints of Guinness and Bass are consumed by hearty young men and women. Comfortable swinging tables, TV sets tuned to sports channels, and a diverse crowd of well-traveled yacht hands add up to a party for the senses. Inside, the dark-wood bar is considerably more quaint, though equally packed. Expats sit idly at the bar sipping beer, ready to dispense their worldly wisdom. Live rock bands move the throngs of Waxy-ites with upbeat covers. And for those looking for a relaxing night, the nook-like booths that line the wall provide intimate retreats. Happy hour is from 4 to 7 p.m.; that's when drink prices are reduced (though you don't get the usual half price).
Sometimes, all you really need from a bar is comfort, space to move around in, and a jukebox loaded with early '90s rock. The kind of place with free peanuts and a floor to catch the shells. Simple. Sure, it doesn't hurt that the spacious Sauer Apple Saloon balances four nights of live music into the equation, including original local rock on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Throwing love to local musicians is way cool. And that's not all. DJs provide the tunes on Monday nights, when there's an "In the Biz" extended happy hour, and Thursday nights, when ladies get two-for-one martinis and free sangria starting at 9 p.m. By the way, typical cocktails run around $5, and a Budweiser goes for $3.25. Happy hour is two-for-one drinks every day from 4 to 7 p.m., so it's seriously affordable. The daily fare includes quality liquors like Bombay Sapphire gin, Skyy vodka, Bacardi rum, and Jim Beam bourbon. The coolest part is: Happy hour tokens are redeemable any time, and that means good times.
Cucina Dell' Arte has been around for years. Snooty Palm Beachers have stuffed their rich faces full of pasta there since it was a quiet Italian joint on Dixie Highway. Then came the Coniglio family, owners of the raucous and successful E.R. Bradley's. The Coniglios bought Cucina in its new digs on Royal Poinciana Way in April 2003 and appointed the family's next generation, 26-year-old Nicholas Coniglio, owner of the place. The youngster quickly turned Cucina into something else completely. Now Cucina has become the first good reason since, well, ever to make a nighttime journey over to the island. The place is packed on weekend nights with a crowd that has made Cucina perhaps the island's first-ever hangout for us working folk. There's regularly a smattering of the hoi polloi from the mainland mixing with the Palm Beachers in their Easter-egg-colored polos. "We say the crowd is from 21 to 71," says Coniglio, a Palm Beach native and former snowboarding instructor. "And you can get everything from bathing suits to tuxedoes." Coniglio expanded the restaurant's hours, and the place now is regularly packed from opening at 7 a.m. to closing at 3 in the morning. Oh, and that thing poking you in the back while you're on the dance floor? That's the overstuffed wallet of the guy in the tomato-soup-colored blazer.

Prize-winning writer to discuss legacy of Wade Hampton
Prize-winning writer and scholar Dr. Ron Andrew will discuss the legacy of South Carolina Confederate son Wade Hampton III Thursday, Nov. 12, at the University of South Carolina.
The talk, centered on Andrew's 2008 biography of Hampton, titled "Wade Hampton: Confederate Warrior to Southern Redeemer," will take place at 7 p.m. at the Inn at USC. It is free and open to the public.
Andrew, a historian at Clemson University, won the 2009 Mary Lawton Hodges Prize in Southern Studies for the biography because of its groundbreaking analysis of Hampton's role during Reconstruction as a conservative white leader.
"Dr. Andrew's book is a realistic view of a man whose story has often been clouded by myths," said Dr. Walter Edgar, university professor and author of numerous books on South Carolina history. "The Institute for Southern Studies is grateful to the Hodges family for their generous support of this prize and this important lecture."
The Mary Lawton Hodges Prize in Southern Studies was established by the university's Institute for Southern Studies in 2006 to recognize a scholar with the most original work that furthers understanding of the American South. Previous winners have included James C. Cobb, "Away Down South"; and William Freehling, "The Road to Disunion, Volume II: Secessionists Triumphant, 1854 – 1861."
An expert in Southern history, Andrew has taught at Clemson since 2000 and also written about the tradition of Southern military schools.
For more information about Andrew's lecture and other Institute for Southern Studies events, call Bob Ellis at 803-777-2340 or visit the Web site: http://www.cas.sc.edu/ISS/
About Wade Hampton III
Wade Hampton III was born in 1818 into an elite Charleston family and raised in Columbia at his boyhood home, Millwood. He graduated from the University of South Carolina -- then South Carolina College -- in 1836 and went on to manage family plantations in South Carolina and Mississippi and serve as a state senator. Out of dedication to his state and the cause of the Confederacy, he stepped down from government to join the S.C. Militia. He rose to the rank of cavalry lieutenant general, with a military career that began at the Battle of First Bull Run and ended with surrender in Durham, N.C. He became chairman of the Democratic Party before serving as governor of South Carolina and then as a U.S. senator. He concluded his career as U.S. Railroad commissioner before retiring in Columbia, where he died at age 84 in 1902.

New York Times best-selling author Carl Weber amps up the sexiness and pulse-quickening drama in this riveting novel.
©2005 Carl Weber; (P)2006 Recorded Books LLC
"A raucous 'desperate husbands' story line, co-starring crazy baby mamas, shady churchgoers, and various deranged personalities, ups the conflict quotient significantly." (Publishers Weekly)
retired writer
"Really Good Novel with some twists and turns"
I don't read a lot of AA novels. I believe this is my first read by Carl Weber and chose it because of the good reviews that other readers had given it. This is not your typical formulaic African American novel. I enjoy AA novels but sometimes I think that they are pretty much the same: who's cheating on who and how beautiful everybody's body is, and the hot attractive couple getting together for the first time, etc. This story, however, brought something really different along with a sprinkling of the usual beautiful descriptions of the characters bodies, etc. It is not your typical AA story. I liked how the author held back on providing a piece of info about one of the characters, even tho the character had made a statement earlier on that gave me a clue to twist that he later brought into the story. The narrators (3) did a good job. This is an enjoyable novel. Recommend.
LIFE just happens that way sometimes!
"Truth be told"
People aren't always who they portray themselves to be. I have read all of the audiobooks available on audible from Carl Weber and now I am able to piece all the stories together and I have a background view about the characters in different books and I realize that this is a small world. I understand the connections and stories in the Choir Director a lot better now that I see the Jackie Robinson connection. Wow! Carl you did an awesome job writing about this community of people in Jamaica, New York. I can truly relate to a couple of the characters and the tragedy that happened in the book opened my eyes to see how insane people can become. I was in an abusive relationship myself once upon a time and I can't even imagine having to go through the things the young lady in the book had to encounter the steps some men go to make a woman's life a living hell. I left because I was ready to go and tired of the environment I had become use to but it was no where near as drastic as the things that I have heard people going through and I did have the opportunity to walk away without feeling a major financial loss or the feeling of worthless... CARL WEBER you are my all time fave author. This book was pretty good and I'm glad to see my question about the baby Marcus in Player Haters was answered cause I wanted to know what happened next. The narrators are phenominal as usual and the book kept me wanting to listen to the whole story. Good read
"Skeletons In Your Closet!!"
Hey, and you think women have skeletons in their closets. Men are just as tainted. I enjoyed this book because it revealed "alot".....well, "too much" about some of men's secrets, tendencies, and weaknesses. The storyline was going on and secrets were EVENTUALLY revealed and then BAM!!-- suspenseful twists and turns that turned this chick-book into a MANLY read. Read this book!!
"Twist and Turns"
Kudos! to Carl Weber. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I was about three men each with there own set of unique issues and drama. I was pleasantly suprised by the turn of events in this book. I will not spoil the fun. I quickly downloaded his next novel Something on the Side. Carl is creeping up on the list of my favorite authors. I highly reccomended this one.
"Pretty Good"
This book was really good, I listened to it in about 2 days. Some of the story lines are a little unrealistic, but there is an excellent twist that made the book worth while. Not great, but pretty good.
"Can't stop listening to this audiobook!"
WOW! Carl Weber does an excellent job again. Definitely an easy read( well, I listened as I drive). Part I kept me in suspense, as the author moved from character to character. It was like listening to the soap operas! You can't wait to see what is going to happen next. I found myself talking to my TomTom as I drove because of this book. The only problem or thing that I didnt like was the narrators voices as women. It sort of contorted the intensity of what some of the lady characters.
"Amazing Read!"
I am a huge fan of Carl Weber. He always manages to get the reader to sit at the edge of their seat in complete and utter anticipation. This book was no exception. I found myself thinking about the characters even when I wasn't listening to the book. And the narrators were awesome! Great Read!
"A twisted, but tasty tale!"
Immediately after hearing the last word of this recording, I did something I've never done before with an audiobook. I pressed rewind on my iPod and listened to it all over again! This book was all that ... and much more! I knew within the first 15 minutes that I wouldn't be able to put this one down. I can't believe some of the things the characters did, but because the story line was so carefully crafted, I could totally understand their motivations. That's truly the sign of a gifted storyteller. Looking foward to reading the author's next salacious novel! Not to be overlooked, the narrators also did an excellent job of drawing me into the plot.
"Great Book"
Suggest you listen to the book Playa Hater first it's the follow up to that book.

BC Volleyball Falls To Newberry 3-0 on Friday NightSeptember 26, 2008
Newberry, S.C. – The Brevard College women's volleyball team tried to win their second straight South Atlantic Conference match on Friday night, but fell on the road to Newberry College 3-0 (15-25, 16-25, 17-25).
The loss drops the Tornados to 8-6 and 1-3 in the conference, while Newberry moves to 8-5 and 2-1 in the SAC.
In set one, the Tornados took an early 2-0 lead on a kill by junior middle hitter Brooke Seaman, but couldn't pull away as Newberry stormed back to outscore the Tornados 25-13 over the remainder of the opening set to pick up the 1-0 lead.
Again set two saw the Tornados score the first point, but Newberry went on a roll to take a 10-5 lead on a kill by Priscila Sales. The Tornados stormed back with five straight unanswered points capped off by a Seaman kill to cut the Newberry lead to one at 11-10.
Yet the set of runs continued, as Newberry answered with an 11 to 4 run to take a 22-14, their biggest lead of the set before a Newberry error stopped the run and put the score at 22-15. The two teams then traded points before Newberry scored the last two points of the set on a Sales kill and a Brianna Blakely service ace to win the set 25-16 and take a 2-0 advantage.
Down 2-0, the Tornados came out of the gates slow in set three, as Newberry jumped out to an 11-5 lead. Yet the Tornados did not go away as BC cut the lead to 18-14 on a kill by freshman Chelsea Larsen, a Newberry error and a Seaman kill.
However, Newberry answered with a 7-3 run to close out the set with a 25-17 and win the match 3-0.
BC was led by Seaman's 11 kills, one service ace, one solo block and two block assists. Senior setter Jami Perry had 15 assists with five digs, while three other players – Chelsey Trojan, Cori Emory and Rebecca Schoonover – all posted five digs apiece.
For Newberry, Lorena Maia led the way with 10 kills, one solo block and three block assists, while Sales had nine kills and one block assist. Setter Blakely had 29 assists for the three set match.
The Tornados will not have long to rest, as BC will play Wingate University in Wingate, N.C. tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Newberry's next contest will be on September 30, as they will step out of SAC play and travel to Central, S.C. to play Southern Wesleyan University.

A sputum Gram stain is a laboratory test used to detect bacteria in a sputum sample. Sputum is the material that comes up from your air passages when you cough very deeply.
The Gram stain method is one of the most commonly used methods to rapidly detect a bacterial infection, including pneumonia.
Gram stain of sputum
A sputum sample is needed. You will be asked to cough deeply and spit any material that comes up from your lung into a special container.
The sample is sent to a lab. The lab team member places a very thin layer of the sample onto a glass slide. This is called a smear. Stains are placed on the sample. The lab team member looks at the stained slide under a microscope, checking for bacteria and white blood cells. The color, size, and shape of the cells help identify the bacteria.
No preparation is usually needed, unless a bronchoscopy is necessary.
How the test will feel depends on the method used to produce the sample. More discomfort is associated with a bronchoscopy.
Your doctor may order this test if you have a persistent or prolonged cough, or if you are coughing up material that has a foul odor or unusual color. The test may also be done if you have other signs and symptoms of respiratory disease or infection.
A normal result means that few to no white blood cells and no bacteria were seen in the sample. The sputum is clear, thin, and odorless.
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
An abnormal result means that bacteria is seen in the test sample. You may have a bacterial infection. A culture is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
There are no risks associated with coughing up a sample. See the article on bronchoscopy for information regarding risks related to that procedure.
The test may need to be repeated if the sample contains only saliva from the mouth.

Anton Otto Fischer Biography
It has been said that Fischer is one of the pioneers of the modern German poster.
Maitre Plate 127
"In 1896, the first year of the Jugendstil, or German Art Nouveau style, Otto Fischer produced this striking poster of a man and a woman engrossed in looking at a large print. No setting is indicated, aside from the woman's chair, and the focus is entirely on the print which is turned slightly toward the viewer to reveal the image of two girls in a landscape framed by a tree branch…The poster is an advertisement for a printing house, Wilhelm Hoffmann's Studio for Modern Posters in Dresden. It may have been for that reason that the artist dispensed with the gallery setting so frequent in French posters of people looking at prints, with which he was obviously familiar. The contrast in style between the poster itself and the subordinate image is noteworthy. The former relies on bold colours and flat planes, the latter on more intricate detail Clearly, artists with many diverse styles were encouraged to bring their works to Hoffmann for printing"(Wolfe, 37)
Anton Fischer was an accomplished maritime artist prior to the second World War and was commissioned by the Coast Guard as Artist Laureate during the war. Fischer was extremely prolific in a variety of subjects but is remembered most for his superb marine paintings. He was known for his technical accuracy, strong, tight compositions, and masterful portrayal of men's emotions. Like many illustrators, Fischer used photographs to check positions, lighting, and the way clothes creased, for his illustrations.

Ratings for Dr. William J. Callahan
One of the kindest and caring physicians I've ever had. Very intelligent and follows up with all of his patients.
Dr. Callahan is amazing. Always available, always willing to call back. I have gone through 2 pregnancies with him and he's been outstanding in all my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a ob-gyn.
After my previous gyn doctor retired I was quite apprehensive of securing a new doctor. I was most fortunate in finding Dr. Callahan. He has a great manner and is very understanding of apprehensive patients. I am an older patient and see him for routine gynecological visits. I am quite confident that he will be able to put me at ease in any medical situation. I have had a very great year after my first visit of securing a new doctor.
Dr. Callaham has delivered 3 of my 4 children. My last son was born at 26 weeks. I never feared and was so glad he was there for the emergency c-section Son is healthy 14 years later and I continue to see Dr. Callahan even though I moved from the area 10 years ago. He and his staff are great!!!!
Dr. Callahan is THE best. I am almost hesistant to write wonderful things about him because I want him all to myself! He is calm, patient, knowledgable and non-alarming. Funny too. :) I have been seeing him for years now, and can't delivering a child under anyone else's care. The delivery nurses are great as well.
I had never met Dr Callahan until the day my son was born when he was delivered by emergency c-section...He is WONDERFUL, calming, considerate and very knowledgable!! Highly recc. him or anyone in his practice!!!
Dr Callahan is one of the nicest ob/gyn doctors in the area. He always takes the time to talk to you about all your concerns. He is also very considerate when he becomes delayed with an emergency by notifying his staff to let his waiting patients know how long he intends to be delayed (which is not often). He also gives excellant care. I would highly recommend him to any one looking for a quality ob/gyn.
Dr. Callahan is sensitive to his patients' needs, an excellent listener, easy to talk to and offers sound advice. I did not start to see him until after my children were born and I'm sorry that I didn't have that experience. He is a great doctor with excellent personal skills.
Dr. Callahan is a great doctor, with wonderful staff/

Theatre and dance to present 'Valley Song' April 22-25
The department of theatre and dance at the University of South Carolina will present "Valley Song" April 22 - 25 at Longstreet Theatre. Show times are 8 p.m. April 22 and 25; and 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. April 23 and 24. Tickets are $5 and available at the door.
Composed by Tony Award-winning playwright Athol Fugard, "Valley Song" is the story of two generations dealing with change in post-apartheid South Africa. A young woman yearns for the courage to pursue her dreams away from home, while her grandfather struggles to let go of the past.
The one-act play features just two actors: LaToya Codner, a second-year graduate student in acting, is the granddaughter, Veronika; Eric Bultman, a 2009 graduate, plays the dual role of "The Author" and the grandfather, Abraam.
"When this play was first produced in 1995, South Africa had just gone through the dramatic change of being a land governed by the laws of apartheid to a new environment of 'reconciliation,'" said director Steven Pearson, a professor of acting and the head of the MFA Acting Program at USC. "Fugard gives us differing points of view and shows us that there are no simple answers to difficult questions; however, throughout, he infuses his play with love and hope."

Make it so, SCALE
A little history: Mimi Cafiero (yes, that's my girl) and Malakai Wade, two teenage girls who are helping to organize SCALE 10X's young people's conference, staunchly proclaimed that, "We are not kids." So the title of SCALE 10X Kids Conference was in peril from the start.
Yet in discussion on the mailing list on the name that shortly followed, Jenn Waterman had the perfect solution in a one-line e-mail:
"I would like to suggest 'SCaLE: The Next Generation' :)"
So after a little more discussion, the organizers for the event made it so. The SCALE Kids Conference became SCALE: The Next Generation.
Yesterday, the Southern California Linux Expo officially announced their conference for the next generation of free and open source (FOSS) community enthusiasts. SCALE: The Next Generation will be held Saturday, January 21, 2012, at the Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel.
In their announcement, they invite the youth of the FOSS community to share their enthusiasm and excitement about FOSS projects with the other young people.
Talk submissions are reviewed by a committee of youths, parents, and volunteers planning the conference and evaluated solely on their merits. SCALE requests that submission dates be strictly honored in order to provide the committee enough time to choose the best set of proposals.
Presenters will have the opportunity to give a 20- or 45-minute presentation, and the desired time slot be mentioned in the submission.
The goal of both SCALE and SCALE: The Next Generation is to educate and encourage excitement about FOSS. Because of this, all presentations should be submitted in a free and open format, such as OpenDocument Presentation (ODP) or PDF formats.
Additionally the conference will also provide space where the next generation FOSS enthusiasts can see FOSS program and hardware projects in action. SCALE encourages those youths interested in showcasing a project that they themselves are involved in or simply excited about, to submit a one paragraph description about the project and what attendees can hope to see.
Submissions for both presentations and demonstrations should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
Important dates to keep in mind: Invitation for Participation Opens on Nov. 29 (yesterday); Invitation for Participation Closes on Dec. 19; and SCALE: The Next Generation takes place on Jan. 21, 2012.
Come on, kids . . . er, I mean, next-generationers — get those talks in and be a part of this historic conference.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software in his new home office. Watch this space.)

Next Generation as in the future. Great idea, great plan.
People who know Linux becoming the leaders of tomorrow? Yeah.
SCaLE is a class act.

Another Israel/San Diego Connection
In addition to that of my daughter, San Diego, California has another Israel connection: Israel is helping desalinate San Diego's water supply.
As many of us know, water is a most precious natural resource in the Middle East, and in past years there has been a fairly severe drought, in Israel and other countries in the region, due to lower rainfall. This winter with its powerful storms of a couple of weeks ago, which brought snow to the higher elevations (I heard from friends who visited me on Shabbat that approximately 6 inches fell in Efrat, where they and my son and his family live) and pounding rain to central Israel, including flooding in Tel Aviv, has gone a long way to ease that drought, and raise the level of the largest body of fresh water in Israel, the Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), almost to it's high water mark.
The Middle East is not the only region with severe water problems. I never expected, however, that one of those areas would be San Diego:
The greater San Diego region is presently suffering from acute shortages in fresh water. The San Diego County Water Authority has stated that they are presently in a crisis. According to the UCSD Center for Environmental Economics, California's water crisis exists because of drought, rapid population growth, historical over-use of water resources, and the general overall neglect of the environment. Desalination can effectively address this issue, by increasing the amount of water that is available to the population.So again it is Israel--in this case, with its advanced technology in water desalinization--to the rescue, of an American city, no less.
IDE Americas Inc., a subsidiary of Israel's IDE Technologies Ltd., is to engage in the largest desalination plant construction project to ever hit the western United States. Israel's IDE Technologies Ltd will be building a 204,412-cubic-meter seawater desalination plant for the greater San Diego region. The $922 million construction plan, otherwise known as the Carlsbad Desalination Project, is being administered by Poseidon Resources LP, a subsidiary of Poseidon Water LLC, and will be carried out in partnership with the San Diego County Water Authority.
When the desalination plant is completed, it will be the largest water desalination plant in the United States. This is not the first time, nor the last, that Israel has come to the aid of various countries in science or technology:
According to Avshalom Felber, CEO of IDE Technologies Ltd., "The Carlsbad Desalination Project is a significant milestone for us, California and the US at large; as we believe it will set the stage for the future of desalination in America. For decades, we've successfully completed similar projects in countries all over the world, and we're excited to be a part of what will be the largest desalination plant in the US."Just another day in the life of a tiny country, doing big things aiding humanity in the Twenty-First Century.
IDE Technologies Ltd. has built and operated some of the world's largest desalination plants, including one in China, and presently provides over the distribution of 2.3 million cubic meters of water per day around the world. This Israeli desalination company has thus far worked on 400 desalination plants in over 40 different countries, and thus has sought to significantly address water problems in many arid locations across the planet.

Klinefelter syndrome is the presence of an extra X chromosome in a male.
47 X-X-Y syndrome
Most people have 46 chromosomes. Chromosomes contain all of your genes and DNA, the building blocks of the body. Two sex chromosomes determine if you become a boy or a girl. Girls normally have two XX chromosomes. Boys normally have an X and a Y chromosome.
Klinefelter syndrome is when a boy is born with at least one extra X chromosome. Usually, this occurs due to one extra X. This would be written as XXY.
Klinefelter syndrome occurs in about 1 out of 500 - 1,000 baby boys. Women who get pregnant after age 35 are slightly more likely to have a boy with this syndrome than younger women.
Klinefelter syndrome may first be diagnosed when a man comes to the doctor because of infertility. Infertity is the most common symptom.
The following tests may be performed:
Blood tests will be done to check hormone levels including:
Testosterone therapy may be prescribed. This can help:
Most men with this syndrome are not able to get a woman pregnant. However, an infertility specialist may be able to help. A special doctor called an endocrinologist may also be helpful.
The American Association for Klinefelter Syndrome Information and Support (AAKSIS) - www.aaksis.org
Enlarged teeth with a thinning surface is very common in Klinefelter syndrome. This is called taurodontism. This can be seen on dental x-rays.
Klinefelter syndrome also increases your risk of:
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if your son does not develop secondary sexual characteristics at puberty. This includes facial hair growth and a deepening of the voice.
A genetics counselor can provide information about this condition and direct you to support groups in your area.

Associated Press
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United on Thursday handed David Moyes one of the toughest and most coveted jobs in soccer — succeeding Alex Ferguson as manager of the 20-time English champions.
Moyes is leaving Everton to replace Ferguson, who announced on Wednesday he is retiring after nearly 27 years at Old Trafford.
United said Moyes received a six-year deal and will take charge of the newly crowned Premier League champions on July 1.
"It's a great honor to be asked to be the next manager of Manchester United," Moyes said in a statement. "I am delighted that Sir Alex saw fit to recommend me for the job. I have great respect for everything he has done and for the football club.
"I know how hard it will be to follow the best manager ever, but the opportunity to manage Manchester United isn't something that comes around very often and I'm really looking forward to taking up the post next season."
The 50-year-old Moyes is replacing the most successful manager in British soccer history. Ferguson produced 13 of United's 20 English titles and a string of other titles, including three European Cups.
Moyes' arrival should help ensure a smooth transition between the Scotsmen. The 71-year-old Ferguson remains at United as a director.
"When we discussed the candidates that we felt had the right attributes we unanimously agreed on David Moyes," Ferguson said. "David is a man of great integrity with a strong work ethic. I've admired his work for a long time and approached him as far back as 1998 to discuss the position of assistant manager here."
The former Celtic player made the switch to management at Preston North End in 1998. His club was promoted to the League Championship two years later.
He joined Everton in 2002 and turned the Merseyside club from a relegation contender into a regular qualifier for European competition. In 2005, he guided the club into the qualifying rounds of the Champions League.
Ferociously ambitious and with a sharp eye for emerging talent, Moyes has kept Everton near the top of the Premier League despite limited money to attract the best players.
"There is no question he has all the qualities we expect of a manager at this club," Ferguson said.
Manchester United has hired David Moyes to succeed Alex Ferguson as manager of the Premier League champions.
The club said Thursday he has agreed to a six-year deal and will take charge beginning July 1, marking the end of Ferguson's reign of nearly 27 years at Old Trafford. Ferguson announced his retirement plans Wednesday.
Everton confirmed earlier in the day that Moyes would be leaving and that he met with chairman Bill Kenwright to express his desire to join United.
Moyes has never won a major trophy in his coaching career but should help ensure a smooth transition between Scotsmen at United.
The 50-year-old Moyes has shown loyalty and staying power in his 11 years with Everton — attributes that should suit him well in his next job. United is trying to avoid any radical changes to its structure after Ferguson joins the boardroom when the season ends.

Wow, these discs just keep getting cheaper and cheaper. Two years, two months and a few weeks ago, I picked up the then-new two-disc Star Trek: The Motion Picture set for about CDN$32, after tax. Since then, Paramount has been re-issuing the subsequent Star Trek films as two-disc sets packed with extras, at a pace of one every several months, and today, I picked up the two-disc Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country set for about CDN$16.
First, I must gripe about the packaging. All the other films were released in black plastic cases, and indeed, if you get the new six-movie original-cast boxed set, all the discs come in black plastic cases. But if you buy ST6:TUC on its own, it comes in a white plastic case. Huh? Second, there is no booklet, at least not in my copy. Third, they are less than forthright about the fact that this film has been tweaked since the last time it was released.

Verboten 1, Scene #02

- : 27:15 min |
- : 2828
Scene Info
New Exclusive tough guy Dilon Crow sits shackled, making him easy prey for rugged sex pigs Dak Ramsey and Trey Casteel. The two studs approach Crow and rough him up by spitting on him and making gag on Ramsey's extra large cock. Casteel and Ramsey pull out a roll of celophane and wrap it around Crow's head, turning him into a cock-sucking slave. The wild tops turn their attention to Crow's giant bubble-butt, lubing it up with spit and shoving their paws deep in his hole. Ramsey takes charge of Crow's fat pierced cock, expertly taking the whole thing and both his balls into his warm mouth. Casteel grabs Crow and throws him on a bench, taking his ass. While Crow sucks Ramsey's cock Casteel pounds his hole, thrusting his entire cock in and out of Crow like a jackhammer. They spin Crow around so Ramsey can take his turn man-ramming Crow's big hungry ass. The two tops take turns mercilessly fucking Crow's ass and mouth at the same time. Casteel blows a fat juicy load all over Crow's tattooed torso, followed by Ramsey. Crow works his own thick load out, adding his cum to the puddle on his tight stromach.

"Mr. Barch has admitted making the remark, but denies that the comment was racially motivated," said Colin Campbell, Senior Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations. "While we accept Mr. Barch's assertion, as a player in the National Hockey League, he must be held accountable for making a comment that, in the context in which it was made, and in light of the entirety of the circumstances, was offensive and unacceptable."
There are reports that after Subban went down in a tussle with Florida defenceman Erik Gudbranson, Barch asked the Canadiens' defenceman if he had "slipped on a banana peel".
The reamrk was overheard by linesman Darren Gibbs. Barch was given a 10-minute misconduct and a game misconduct.
Kerry Fraser has weighed in on the issue in his TSN column:
Political correctness in our ever changing world demands us to be sensitive to the feelings of others. The hard truth is that the intolerance and inequality well documented throughout history was never okay but certainly something to learn from.
Even though there is no 'PC rule book,' we should all know what type of comments cross the line. Some years ago, 'racial taunts or slurs' were added to the NHL rule book under Game Misconduct, rule 23.7 (ii) to address these changing times. Respect and tolerance for the differences of others is something that we must uphold.

2000 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2000 Dodge Ram Wagon 3500 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
Leak detection pump failure can be caused by the internal diaphragm switch sticking, or in some cases, contamination from debris or carbon particles from vapor canister. If black carbon particles are present in the LDP, replace vapor canister in addition to LDP. The purge solenoid should also be checked for debris or carbon contamination and replaced as necessary. All evap system hoses are subject to cracking and splitting causing leaks, Inspect hoses carefully. In cases of contamination from carbon particles or debris, all hoses and tubes must be blown out with compressed air to remove contaminates.
On the 3.9L V6, 5.2L V8 and 5.9L V8 the Oil leaks commonly from the valve cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets (front and rear), timing cover gaskets, distributor O-ring, and the rear main seal area. Using fluorescent engine oil dye can be helpful in determining the source(s) of the oil leak.
On 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 engines, the intake manifold gasket may leak and cause increased oil consumption and a spark knock during acceleration; the gasket should be replaced.
On the 3.9L V6 and 5.9L V8 the engine oil leaks at the distributor can be misdiagnosed as leaks from the intake manifold seal, oil pan gasket, or rear crankshaft (rear main) seal. A revised distributor is available if oil is found inside the distributor.
The AC/heater (HVAC) system may unexpectedly switch to the defrost mode when accelerating. This system is operated by engine vacuum and should be inspected for any vacuum leaks if this problem develops. There is also a revised vacuum check valve available to address this concern.
Our technicians tell us that there is a software upgrade for the ABS module to correct inaccurate speedometer readings.
Some automatic transmissions can turn on the Check Engine Light and set a code P1740, torque converter fault. Our technicians tell us there is a revised transmission pressure boost valve cover plate to correct this condition.

Missing periods?
I just want to ask, I've been nursing my bub until now. I got my period back one month after giving birth, then took contraceptive pills and then stopped after five months. My problem is that my period didn't show up. It's been six months now after I stopped taking pills. What should I do?
21st July 2014 07:48 AM #2
Hi jacelene,
Congratulations on breastfeeding your baby and giving them the very best start in life in so many ways (nutritionally, developmentally, emotionally, socially etc).
When you are breastfeeding anything goes when it comes to your periods! In other words, anything that your periods do (or do not do!) is normal when you are breastfeeding. Actually if you are breastfeeding on demand then the average time for your periods to return is 15 months after giving birth. This time is hugely reduced if a parent gives their baby any formula milk at all.
I assume you have checked you are not pregnant (a home urine pregnancy test can do this simply)? It's possible that your 'period' you describe one month after giving birth wasn't actually your period and your periods have not returned yet (this amount of time would certainly be considered normal).
What was your bleeding like after giving birth? It is normal to bleed for up to a month after giving birth but this is not your period.
Have you been exclusively breastfeeding from the start?
Warm wishes,

When scrotal meat balls and tube steak aren't cutting it I'll pour a bag of Doritos into my suit. If its really gnar, I stuff a couple lobsters in there.
I just want to say I respect Bubba for having the balls to say what everyone in this forum has been thinking all winter. I personally have not tried meatballs, but look forward to giving it a go. I think homemade lasagna works the best (none of that stouffers crap). My only word of advice is to stay away from microwaveable meals. I once stuffed an entire "Hungry Man" salisbury steak meal down my suit right out of the microwave and singed my ballsack. Still can't grow hair on my left nut...sucks.
Yesterday was a cold one, tried something new...one swedish meatball and one squirrel/buffalo meatball wrapped in week old boars head roast beef...thanks again for the advice, anyone else get innovative yesterday?
Yo Bubba I think you been hitting the Green bud too much. You need to stay off that shet!!!!
recruitment agencies in ahmedabad
Where's the fukin meatballs?
doesnt anyone pee in their wetsuit anymore
put spaghetti in your wet suit, but make sure it doesn't fall out of your pockets or ****s gonna get awkward real fast... and make sure you use whole wheat pasta *in the case that spaghetti falls out, quickly clean it up with your sock.
the only meat balls in my wet suit are permanently attacted.....y'all are kooks

Tooth abscessPeriapical abscess; Dental abscess; Tooth infection; Abscess - tooth
A tooth abscess is a collection of infected material (pus)due to a bacterial infection in the center of a tooth.
A tooth abscess is a complication of tooth decay. It may also result from trauma to the tooth, such as when a tooth is broken or chipped. Openings in the tooth enamel allow bacteria to infect the center of the tooth (the pulp). Infection may spread out from the root of the tooth and to the bones supporting the tooth.
Infection results in a collection of pus (dead tissue, live and dead bacteria, white blood cells) and swelling of the tissues within the tooth. This causes a painful toothache. If the pulp of the tooth dies, the toothache may stop, unless an abscess develops. This is especially true if the infection remains active and continues to spread and destroy tissue.
The main symptom is a severe toothache. The pain is continuous and may be described as gnawing, sharp, shooting, or throbbing.
Other symptoms may include:
- Bitter taste in the mouth
- Breath odor
- General discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling
- Fever
- Pain when chewing
- Sensitivity of the teeth to hot or cold
- Swelling of the gum over the infected tooth, that may look like a pimple
- Swollen glands of the neck
- Swollen area of the upper or lower jaw -- a very serious symptom
Exams and Tests
The dentist will closely look at your teeth, mouth, and gums. You may have pain when the dentist taps the tooth. Biting or closing the mouth tightly also increases the pain. The gums may be swollen and red and may drain thick material.
Dental x-rays and other tests can help your dentist determine which tooth or teeth is causing the problem.
The goals of treatment are to cure the infection, save the tooth, and prevent complications.
Antibiotics may be given to fight the infection. Warm salt-water rinses may be soothing. Over-the-counter pain relievers may relieve the toothache and fever.
Do NOT place aspirin directly over the tooth or gums, because this increases irritation of the tissues and can result in mouth ulcers.
A root canal may be recommended in an attempt to save the tooth.
If there is a severe infection, the tooth may be removed or surgery may be needed to drain the abscess. Some people may need to be admitted to the hospital.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Untreated abscesses may get worse and can lead to life-threatening complications.
Prompt treatment usually cures the infection. The tooth can usually be saved in many cases.
Possible Complications
- Loss of the tooth
- Blood infection (sepsis)
- Spread of infection to soft tissue (facial cellulitis, Ludwig's angina)
- Spread of infection to the jaw bone (osteomyelitis of the jaw)
- Spread of infection to other areas of the body resulting in brain abscess, endocarditis, pneumonia, or other complications
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your dentist if you have a persistent, throbbing toothache.
Prompt treatment of dental caries reduces the risk of tooth abscess. Traumatized teeth should be examined promptly by the dentist.

Daniel Island residents learn more about what Berkeley County is doing for them
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
What was originally planned as a public hearing on the Clements Ferry Road project was later changed to a community outreach meeting to explain the services Berkeley County provides to Daniel Island residents Wednesday night.
Supervisor Dan Davis said they wanted to give the public information, but they also wanted to hear from the public. "We were looking, if we needed to know something, we wanted the public to give that back to us. So we know which items that may need addressing."
Lynn Tate has lived on Daniel Island for years. "Well, I was excited about the meeting, because I was serving on the safety committee board for the property association."
Tate is a retired Navy nurse who has lived in the area for years. She and her neighbors had some concerns. "We've been talking about these issues, especially the disaster preparedness and the emergency response for three years now."
During the presentation, she likes what she heard about 911 response times from the county. "It was great to hear that things have improved. Response times are more efficient."
And while it wasn't discussed directly, the secession talk is not far from the minds of many on the island. State Senator Larry Grooms lives on Daniel Island. He said the meeting was good for the island and the county. "I represent constituents on both sides of the river, Charleston and Berkeley. And I think it's a good exercise in civics. And it's a shame that there are folks on Daniel Island that feel like their county government has let them down to the point that they want to explore annexation."
Some in the audience, like Tate, may have heard what they needed to hear in order to want to stay in Berkeley County. "I didn't see any positive benefit to go into Charleston County, from my perspective, except for the issues we had with EMS, and now that that's resolved, I think we ought to stay where we are."

Dallas County
The Dallas County Office of Security and Emergency Management is the local component of the Homeland Security Department for Dallas County. This agency in coordination with Federal, State, Regional and local emergency management agencies pursuant to its mandate by Presidential Homeland Security Directives five (5) and eight (8), Texas Gubernatorial Order RP 40, consistently and regularly participates in training exercises in accordance with the National Response Framework. These exercises are designed to effectively increase the ability of all stakeholders responding to disasters. Also, it enhances the ability of the local emergency management community to prepare, respond, mitigate, prevent and recover from disasters whether manmade or natural. This includes terrorism, bioterrorism, radiological dispersion, chemical incidents, accidents, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes etc. Training revolves around an "all hazards" approach to mitigating disasters not just the high impact low frequency events.
Training is intense, extensive and continuous with clear objectives to manage incidents as outlined by the National Incident Management System (NIMS) utilizing the Incident Command System (ICS). Training exercises utilizes this proven methodology of crisis management which allows flexibility, expansion or contraction involving interdisciplinary agencies to coordinate, command and control incidents by objectives regardless to causation, type or size.
Training also consists of mass emergency evacuation drills with employees, visitors, patrons or large groups occupying high rise office complexes, courts, office buildings as well as facilities maintained by Dallas County. Contingency planning requires this type of training to devise a system of immediate, efficient but orderly evacuation. This reduces chaos, pandemonium or confusion in the event of an actual incident. Training events, drills, or exercises are the only time to prepare for, respond to, or rehearse in anticipation of a catastrophic incident.
Dallas County Office of Security and Emergency Management has made major strides in transitioning from basic, intermediate, to the advanced level of preparedness via its internal and external training events. This training effort is dynamic with the primary objectives being the saving of lives and the protection of property. Dallas County Emergency Management places an extraordinarily high premium on preparedness training. This emphasis on training events is to ensure that the residents and citizens of Dallas County will receive the best practices from lessons learned in responding to real disasters.
Training Opportunities
Free training opportunities are currently offered by numerous agencies throughout the State, Region and Nation to enhance the ability of the emergency management community in accordance with the National Response Framework. This coordinated effort allows all stakeholders to maximize the utilization of resources in preparedness, response, prevention, mitigation and recovery efforts. Training is available to public entities and private citizens.
Overall, the Federal Department of Homeland Security has listed thirty-seven (37) target capabilities that it designates as priorities to efficiently protect lives and property in the event of catastrophic, disaster or terrorist incidents requiring Incident Command System (ICS) management implementation. This National Incident Management System (NIMS) will consistently provide the framework for group efforts in responding to incidents that could easily overwhelm a jurisdiction if it were the only source responding to emergency calls beyond the jurisdiction's ability to meet the challenge.
Below you can find some of these agencies and the training offered by them to meet the demanding challenges that we face in the protection of lives and preservation of property within our local jurisdiction. The challenges facing our Nation, State, County and local municipalities can be effectively met with resolve, determination, persistence, proper planning and training. Update training includes First Aid/CPR/AED skills development and certifications. Question regarding training can be sent to contact Larry K. Thompson.

For many of us, Earth Day – April 22nd – is celebrated with a tribute to all things green. In reality, the day also marks the anniversary of what may be considered the birth of the modern environmental movement. The first Earth Day in 1970 capitalized on an emerging American consciousness on the environment and preventing water and air pollution. Over 20 million Americans demonstrated their commitment to a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies on the first Earth Day. Twenty years later, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting environmental issues to the world stage.
Today, sustainability is much more than "going green." And, it's more than a personal commitment. It's a way of doing business that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. That means efficient use of natural resources, minimizing waste and protecting the environment.
Homeowners may not realize that sustainability goals can be as important as profitability goals for today's businesses. In addition to meeting consumer demand for greener products, Masonite International Corporation recognizes that environmental stewardship and operational efficiencies often go hand-in-hand.

Employee accused of stealing from Kohl's
Published: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 8:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 8:23 p.m.
A man who worked at Kohl's department store in southwest Gainesville was arrested Friday and charged with stealing items from the store.
According to the Gainesville Police Department, Sean Mychal Saunders, 24, of 3006 NW 23rd Terrace in Gainesville, was charged with grand theft after police say loss prevention officers at the store witnessed Saunders steal items from the store between Feb. 4 and Feb. 8.
During this time, police said Saunders was observed selecting items and taking them to a fitting room. Saunders would then go to the store's break room, put on his jacket and go back to the fitting room, where he would place items under the jacket and them take them to his car, police said.
After seeing this occur on more than one occasion, the store's officer confronted Saunders, police said, and Saunders admitted to taking at least $494 in merchandise.

The Washington Post reported that Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has partially torn his ACL and LCL in his right knee. Griffin will visit with Dr. James Andrew in Florida on Tuesday to find out whether the full extent of the injuries. No details about a possible surgery or a timeline for rehabilitation is known at this time. An exploratory surgery to check the severity of the injury is likely. Reconstructive knee surgery might be an option and would be the second such surgery on his knee.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is sad news for such a promising player. The argument has raged on whether or not the Washington coaching staff made the right decision in keeping Griffin in the game. The bottom line is that it is his body and ultimately, the final decision rested with him. He certainly wanted to be on the field and it's unfortunate that it has come to this. Further updates will be coming soon as more information is gathered about the extent of damage done to the rookie's knee.

LONG BEACH - Congress is considering new legislation that largely mirrors the Clean Truck Program adopted in local ports, an initiative that has helped slash diesel pollution more than 80 percent since 2008.
The Clean Ports Act of 2011 would amend federal laws by permitting port authorities to set up rules requiring heavy-duty port trucks to meet the latest federal emission laws, similar to the Long Beach-Los Angeles Clean Truck Program.
The bill, co-sponsored by Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Lakewood, allows port authorities to establish contracts setting emission limits with motor carriers servicing America's ports.
Crucially, in an effort to clarify contested federal laws, the bill also permits ports to require trucking companies to shoulder the purchase and maintenance costs of these new rigs, similar to a controversial plan adopted by the Port of Los Angeles and later ruled partially illegal in court.
In citing support of the bill, Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, said the Los Angeles model should be promoted, citing a recent economic study by Rutgers University claiming most port truckers earn too little to afford new rigs, which can cost more than $125,000.
Several studies, including one completed by Cal State Long Beach in 2007, found nearly 90 percent of port truckers are legally classified as independent contractors. Paid by the load, these drivers are responsible for fuel, insurance, maintenance and all costs related to their vehicles.
"Drivers continue to be hired as `contractors' by the companies and, therefore, are expected to replace and maintain trucks themselves - a prohibitive and unreasonable expense for the vast majority of drivers, threatening the efficacy of the entire clean truck program," Nadler said in a statement.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, submitted the Senate version of the bill on Dec. 16.
Opposed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the American Trucking Association, among others, the legislation would amend the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, which deregulated much of the nation's trucking industry.
The bill expands on a successful program adopted by Long Beach and Los Angeles to phase out older trucks regularly hauling freight to and from San Pedro Bay marine terminals. The plan has been credited with cutting truck diesel pollution more than 80 percent its October 2008 launch.
The Clean Truck Program requires all container trucks and the vast majority of other freight rigs to meet federal 2007 emission standards by Jan. 1, 2012, though most of the turnover has already occurred.
Port of Long Beach spokesman Art Wong estimates almost 99 percent of the 11,000 trucks serving local ports daily meet the latest emission rules.
Like the proposed federal bill, the Long Beach-Los Angeles program initially sought to require companies doing business at the ports to sign contracts guaranteeing they would gradually take ownership of rigs they dispatch.
A lawsuit filed by the American Trucking Association challenged that rule, and after a series of mixed court decisions, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against port ownership statutes.
While not opposed to the clean air portions of the bill, a coalition of importers, exporters, agriculture businesses, retailers and others say amendments in the bill would likely undermine growth, result in layoffs and hurt drivers.
The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles haven't taken a public stance on the new bill, though port authorities say they welcome anything ensuring cleaner air around the nation's ports, where air quality is typically poor due to high levels of trucking, rail, shipping and dockside activity.
