The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless
The Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless works to end the unnecessary suffering caused by poverty and advocates for justice for people who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless in Washington, DC.
They envision a just and inclusive community.
Since their founding in 1986, the Legal Clinic has become a principal force in protecting the rights of homeless and other low-income people here in the District of Columbia through a unique combination of direct representation, class action litigation, policy and budget advocacy, and community outreach and organizing.
Their goal: to bring an end to homelessness by improving the programs, benefits, resources and opportunities available to people challenged by the effects of poverty.
The Legal Clinic has opened more than 25,000 individual client matters including:
- wrongful evictions and shelter terminations
- applications for public assistance and subsidized housing
- credit and other consumer matters
- veterans benefits
- discrimination, probate, health and mental health>
- impounded property
- family law cases
In large measure thier cases are handled by their network of nearly 200 lawyers and paralegals who volunteer at one of seven intake sites.
Last year, the Clinic leveraged over $4.7 million in donated legal services.
They work to develop and advance strategies to lift up the voices of our clients so that they have meaningful input in the decisions that affect their lives.
These are difficult times, to be sure, and they are called to be faithful companions to our homeless neighbors as they seek to end the injustices that keep them anchored in poverty.
The unfailing generosity of our many supporters has allowed the clinic, without hesitation, to respond to that call.

It might not sound like it would fit in with recent major exhibits showcasing the Titanic, dinosaurs or the current "Bodies Revealed," but this fall, the Putnam Museum will host a tribute to Princess Diana.
"We're also a history and culture museum, and that should never be overlooked here," said Nichole Myles, the Putnam's vice president of education. "Diana is really a piece of our history. It's a modern history, but she is the People's Princess."
"Diana, a Celebration" will begin in mid-September and continue through the first days of 2014 at the Davenport museum. Tickets are available beginning in mid-July.
The exhibit, which includes more than 25 of the late princess's dresses, suits and evening gowns as well as her iconic wedding dress, was a last-minute coup for the Putnam, Myles said. Another facility had to cancel its planned tour stop, and when the call went out looking for hosts, Putnam President and CEO Kim Findlay quickly replied.
"We've got great leadership here who knows a great opportunity when she sees it," Myles said. "And we were lucky enough to secure a spot."
Findlay was on vacation last week and unavailable to speak about the exhibit.
In a prepared statement, Findlay said, "The Putnam is honored to be one of the last three places this remarkable exhibit will ever be available to the public. The exhibition gives us an opportunity to be close to the compassion and sense of natural sophistication for which Princess Diana became legendary."
The Diana exhibit has had few stops in the Midwest during the past few years, said John Norman, president of Arts & Exhibitions International, which produces the display. It has been on display since 2003 but has never played in Chicago.
It also will be one of the last three scheduled stops for the exhibit. Through his company's agreement with Earl Spencer, the princess' brother, the items will be returned to Diana's sons, Princes William and Harry, late next year.
"I feel very honored that they entrust me and our team in taking care of those objects," Norman said from his company headquarters in Cleveland.
While the exhibit has traveled as far away as Hungary, Australia and Canada (it's currently at a mall in Edmonton, Alberta), the items return to the Althorp Estate in England from July 1 to Aug. 31 annually. They are displayed in stables there, next to a walkway that leads to the lakeside spot of Diana's burial after her 1997 death.
They will return to the United States, and the Putnam, after that display.
"It will literally cross the pond," Myles said. "It will be a fleet (of trucks to haul the items), I'm certain.
"When you're talking about these pieces, diamond tiaras and things that are quite small, these dresses, it's not like you're packing them up in a U-Haul cardboard box and hauling them off."
"They are treated just as you would a Monet painting," Norman said. "They have art handlers, all of the objects are packed like it's fine art in climate-controlled vehicles with security."
Two workers from the company are employed specifically to arrange Diana's wedding gown and its 25-foot train. They are the only two people allowed to touch it.
"It's fascinating to watch the installation," Norman said. "A lot of them are ordinary items that belonged to an extraordinary person. They're all dealt with kid gloves, as they say."
In contrast to the flashy and beautiful gowns, there are also items such as the flak jacket the princess wore while working for her charity to prevent landmine deaths. Other items demonstrate Diana's humanitarian side, while the personal turmoil she faced in her later years is not represented.
"This was put together to be the family's remembrance of Diana and all the good she did," Norman said. "Everybody knows she was a human being and had some problems that were all in the media. But that isn't what this exhibition is about.
"It's a celebration of a life, and free to ponder what she could have done if she were still with us. She was always using her celebrity for good. She was able to bring awareness to a lot of unpopular issues by using her celebrity."
Myles said the price for the Putnam to bring in the exhibit is comparable to the cost for exhibits such as "Bodies Revealed" and "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition," both of which were produced by the same company. It would normally be higher, she said, but the Putnam received a discount for its last-minute agreement.
The exhibit is presented by the Isle of Capri Casino, the Putnam Museum Guild and the Quad-City Times.
"Diana was such a wonderful icon, not only because she was a royal or because she was fashionable, but she was a great humanitarian. This is an opportunity to tell that story," she said. "These are massive financial investments, and we make them believing they're the best thing for the museum and the best thing for the community."

Since the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds and the subsequent birth of one of the most famous movie cars of all time, Eleanor Mustangs have become a collector car niche all their own. And while sloppy builds have, for the most part, been relegated to the cost of their collective parts, well-done cars are really beginning to bring serious money. We all remember the Eleanor Barrett-Jackson sold for $220K; and if you've been paying close attention to our website, you probably caught a glimpse of the Eleanor we had a couple weeks back that only lasted THREE days before $130K took her to a new home. Luckily, opportunity sometimes knocks twice, and if you've been kicking yourself for waiting a little too long to pick up the phone last time, this is a rare chance for redemption! From its professionally built 428 Cobra Jet V8 to its pristine Shelby interior and actual Cinema Vehicle Services body kit, this 1967 Eleanor GT is the ultimate dream car for any Ford fanatic, major movie buff or hardcore gear head!
Designed by famed Hot Rod illustrator Steve Stanford, built by celebrity car builder Chip Foose and listed by Hot Rod magazine as one of 100 most influential vehicles in the history of hot rodding, the original Eleanor was actually 13 different Mustangs that were uniquely equipped for different shots throughout the movie. And while most commercial reproductions take liberty with small details that separate movie fantasy from reality; well executed cars, like the 1967 Mustang GT you see here, are case studies in authenticity from their correct custom body kits with Shelby inspired trim bits all the way to their functional mechanical accessories. The build of this highly accurate Eleanor began with a trip to Cinema Vehicle Services, the same company that produced all the exterior pieces for the actual movie cars, where the owner purchased one of their complete, limited edition body kits. Once that kit was secured and thorough research on how to correctly build a true Eleanor movie car was complete, Johnnie Cate Hotrod and Custom in Alcoa, Tennessee began a frame-off rotisserie reconstruction which stripped the car down to bare metal, and completely restored its panels to better-than-new condition. When every pan and jam was smoothed to perfection, and the canvas was solid in all the right places, the car was covered in a smooth coat of correct Dupont 44490 Pepper Gray Metallic, detailed with correct Dupont 44435 Black Metallic stripes, buried in durable and glossy clearcoat shell, and buffed to a spectacular shine. Today, this top notch Eleanor show car is a fitting and impressive tribute to one of the most iconic muscle cars of all time!
Most muscle car enthusiasts credit Carroll Shelby with introducing some of the coolest and most aggressive Mustangs ever created; so it's only natural that the original Eleanor bodywork would be based on his designs. At the leading edge of this re-imagined Mustang a custom headlight panel holds a pristine billet grille between two HID driving lights and two crystal clear halogen headlights. Below that grille, a Shelby 'R' style front valence incorporates two correct PIAA fog lights into an enlarged and billet filled air intake which is centered between two correct PIAA driving lights. At the top of the grille, an aggressive fiberglass hood perfectly aligns two hood pins between the car's fiberglass front fenders and fiberglass front valence; and like-new glass is bordered by straight stainless trim which looks so fresh it could've come right off the showroom floor. The profile of this Mustang presents a slick purpose-built race car appearance which is only interrupted by pristine chrome door handles, correct satin finished bullet style Shelby mirrors, a functional flip up fuel filler, and fender mounted "Shelby GT500" emblems. And at the back of the car, a Black Metallic rear valence, which is flanked by Shelby style extensions, hangs sequential Mercury Cougar tail lights above a straight and show worthy body-matched bumper and chrome trimmed reverse lights.
Pull the hood pins on this sinister Mustang and you'll find a lethal 428 cubic inch Cobra Jet V8 which has been bored .030 over and professionally rebuilt by Dwight Powell of High Performance Ford Engines in Dahlonega, Georgia. At the top of the jet black block, a coated Holley 4-barrel carburetor mixes fuel from fresh stainless fuel lines with air from a finned "Cobra" branded air cleaner and sends it into a correct 428 Cobra Jet intake manifold. At the sides of that black intake manifold, correct Cobra Jet heads, which were subjected to a performance valve job and equipped with hardened valve seats, are wedged between correct "Cobra" branded valve covers and tough TRW pistons that are wrapped in high quality Moly rings. At the front of that black intake manifold, a billet distributor sends spark from a Painless Wiring harness to fresh black plug wires which fire in sequence with a balanced rotating assembly that includes Clevite bearings, a Cloyes double roller timing set, a Crane hydraulic camshaft and hardened push rods. Cooling is provided by a Griffin aluminum radiator which is equipped with a front mount transmission cooler, two electric fans, correct FoMoCo hoses and a billet overflow tank; and lubrication is provided by a Melling high volume oil pump. At the front of the block, a Billet Specialties Tru Trac serpentine accessory drive spins a chrome power steering pump, a polished AC compressor and a chrome Powermaster alternator behind billet aluminum pulleys. And at the sides of the block, correct cast iron exhaust manifolds send spent gases into a great sounding side pipe exhaust system. The exceptionally detailed engine bay features a smooth coat of traditional satin black paint; and everything from its chrome master cylinder and custom shock tower brace to its complete set of ARP fasteners and FoMoCo washer bag is absolutely spotless.
Not that you'd ever want to jump this pristine car over an inconvenient road block; but in case you do, rest assured that your appearance above that inconvenient road block will be just as impressive as your appearance in the parking garage exactly 12 minutes and 12 seconds earlier. Behind the rowdy Ford motor you'll find a fresh C6 3-speed automatic transmission, which was bolted in by Jonnie Cate Hotrod and Custom, in front of a professionally built driveline that was tweaked and finished by Street Rods by Michael in Shelbyville, Tennessee. Most of the actual movie cars were equipped with automatic transmissions, despite the chase sequence displaying a 4-speed car, and this Eleanor's stout C3 does a fine job of turning the engine to break neck speeds. However, RK Motors Charlotte will be happy to install a hydraulic clutch and a 5 or 6-speed manual of your choice for only $6,500. Whatever the drivetrain, an adjustable Air Ride Technologies Shockwave Level II suspension which utilizes blue Chassis Works tubular control arms and Wilwood four wheel disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors is in place to provide the kind of driving athleticism that can out maneuver anyone who might provide chase. At the center of the car a custom fabricated exhaust system roars through side mounted stainless tips. At the back of the car, a stainless fuel cell sends dino juice through fresh stainless fuel lines. And at the corners of the car, power flows to the ground through correctly finished 17 inch PS Engineering wheels which are wrapped in sticky 245/45 front and 245/40 rear Goodyear Eagle F1 radials. Fully sorted and ready to go, everything under this slick Mustang, from the stainless chassis hardware and lightly undercoated floorpans to the correctly detailed driveline and heavy duty power rack and pinion steering, has been carefully planned and professionally executed.
Open the car's Pepper Gray Metallic doors and you'll find a high quality vinyl interior which would look right at home in an authentic Shelby Mustang. At the center of the car, tightly pleated bucket seats sit at three sides of a traditional Cobra branded console which holds a small adjustment panel for the cars air ride suspension in front of chrome B&M Quick Silver shifter. Below that console, new black carpet is bordered by chrome Ford sill plates and protected by heavy duty "GT500" branded floor mats; and above that console, a tight black headliner frames a thick, center mount roll bar. At the front of the car, a spectacular looking black and silver dash holds Classic Instruments gauges above controls for the cars Vintage Air system and an MP3 compatible Custom Autosound stereo that rumbles through Boss Audio speakers. And at the sides of the car, black and silver door panels hang fresh chrome handles and functional courtesy lamps inside of pristine stainless trim. In front of the driver, a polished aluminum and wood rimmed Lecarra steering wheel is bolted to a Flaming River tilt steering column. And behind the cockpit, a fully finished trunk houses a Fuel Safe fuel cell below hardware for the cars suspension system and a Taylor aluminum battery box.
Included with the sale of this awesome Eleanor Mustang is an entire box of build receipts, a giant stack of component manuals, seven CDs of build photos, various articles about how to build the car, a 31"x24" show board, a huge 72"x51" movie poster, and an official Gone in 60 Seconds DVD.
Absolutely no corners were cut creating this awesome 1967 Mustang, and it's one of the most authentic Eleanors on the planet. With an excellent combination of classic design and professionally built performance equipment, it's is a top dog muscle car which has looks to kill and the hardware to back it up. If you're looking for an instantly recognizable classic that's an absolute blast to own, this is your kind of car!

Oct. 12, 2007 - Sulphur Springs started the District 11-4A football campaign the right way on Thursday, sweeping Mount Pleasant in four subvarsity games.
The JV, freshmen "A" and both SSMS teams beat Mount Pleasant, while the freshman "B" team also had a successful non-district result against Gilmer.
Junior Varsity
SSHS 28, Mount Pleasant 20
MOUNT PLEASANT - The Wildcats (3-3 overall, 1-0 in district) got two rushing TDs, a passing touchdown and a special teams score to fend off Mount Pleasant.
Lemarcus Kendricks caught a 70-yard touchdown from quarterback Colton Lee and also scored on a 12-yard run. Running back Jimmy Villa added a 1-yard TD run, and linebacker Jacko Spataro blocked a punt and recovered the loose ball in the end zone for another score.

Defensively, Tyler Higginbotham forced two fumbles. Recovering fumbles were John Tsai, Diquence Morris and Demarcus Reeves.

The Wildcats took a 27-20 lead, then Mount Pleasant scored to cut the lead to one point. Sulphur Springs then stuffed the two-point conversion to seal the victory.

text: On its Malware City blog, antivirus firm BitDefender notes that malware creators have begun to take advantage of the hype surrounding Apple's new iPad tablet device as a means of social engineering to encourage users to download their malicious software disguised as an iTunes update. The malware is advertised in the form of an awkwardly-worded email message and includes a link to a site formatted similarly to Apple's iTunes download page but hosting the malicious software. The report is careful to note that the malware in question only targets Windows, and thus users of Mac OS X are unaffected. The iPad itself is also unaffected by the malware, as its mention is simply used to entice its owner to download the infected software.

I've been wondering about this. The move to the small town is imminent. Once we get settled, I can foresee us hiring a cleaner. My worry though is gossip about the state of my house. We will already be seen as a bit odd in that DH is a SAHD. Although he does some part-time handyman work for friends. But, I don't want us to clean so much for the cleaner that we lose the benefit of it. What I think would be ideal, is the cleaner to have one of our hampers and to throw misc. stuff into there, and leave it there. Things like the TV remote would be put back. But toys and DH's shoes could go in the hamper. Misc. dishes could go in the sink.
I pay my cleaning lady for 3 hours. Whatever she does, she does it in 3 hours. If I leave a huge mess behind and she has to waste time picking stuff up out of her way, then I get less real cleaning done.I told her that all I *really* wanted was someone to scrub my bathroom and kitchen, and vacuum the carpet. Everything after that is a plus. She does *so much more* that it astounds me. If the dishwasher was just run, she empties it and put stuff away (mostly in the right place). If not, she washes the dishes and leaves them in the drainer. She dusts. And she plays with my cat. Once in awhile, she even cleaned out my refrigerator! Once or twice a year, I pay her extra and she shampoos the carpet. I don't know what I'd do without her. I'm a slob of the first order, and tend towards heavy clutter. Just knowing that she's coming once a month forces me to pick up after myself and put stuff away. A proper cleaning person works *with* you, not against you. You dodged a bullet.
Oh, how I'd love to have a cleaner. When I can, I do not plan to clean at all. But I am a clean person. There is usually little to no mess--dishes are done and put away, laundry is done regularly and always put away, there is no mail or piles around--so I expect the cleaner to clean. (What am I paying for if not that?) I expect her (or him) to scrub the bathrooms and kitchen including counters and floors, to clean out and scrub the refrigerator if requested, to scrub all parts of the bathroom, to sweep and wash all floors and all window sills, to dust and to vacuum. I keep my house clean but if I am going to pay someone I want that person to do what I do, reluctantly.

The company issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon blaming "extremely difficult" trading conditions for the situation.
DuPont manufactures polyester filaments yarns for the car and clothing industry and the company has decided the Mamhilad plant is "no longer viable".
The Transport and General Workers' Union has said talks with management would look to minimise the impact of closing the plant.
T&G branch secretary John Burgham said if the plant closed, it would be a "disaster" for Pontypool town.
DuPont's statement read: "It's the opinion of the company's leadership team that continued production of Polyester filament products at the Pontypool site is therefore not viable in the future, and that the remaining assets at Pontypool will probably have to close."
Thirty contract workers are also set to lose their jobs at the plant.
The company has said that support would be offered to workers in the event of job losses.
The T&G believes the problems lie with DuPont's decision to switch production to Turkey and the union has called on the UK Government to do more to protect British manufacturing jobs.
'Game plan'
During its peak, the former ICI and British Nylon Spinners plant employed 8,000 workers.
John Burgham added: "The workforce at the plant have moved mountains to try and prevent this decision, their productivity and skill levels are second to none.
"We believe that Dupont SA has had a game plan to close Pontypool for some time now.
"Today's announcement is the final act in their strategy to move production to their Turkish facilities."
'Support the workers'
T&G regional secretary Jim Hancock said the union had been warning about the erosion of manufacturing jobs in Wales.
"Dupont SA's actions are a stark demonstration that our fears are a continuing reality.
"We are calling upon the Welsh Assembly Government to do all that it can to support the workers at Dupont SA through this difficult time.
"The exodus of well-paid jobs to low paid areas of Europe is decimating Welsh manufacturing.
"It is important for the Welsh Assembly Government to make the case to Westminster that the sooner they implement the Information and Consultation Directive the better."

Curriculum changes pushed back to 2014
19 Dec 2011
The overhaul of the National Curriculum in England is to be delayed by a year, the education secretary has confirmed.
A written statement on Monday says the review of core subjects will now be implemented in Autumn 2014.
Michael Gove said:
The longer timescale will allow for further debate with everyone interested in creating a genuinely world-class education system.
The pushed-back timetable means that instead of introducing changes for English, maths, science and PE in 2013, the revised curriculums for all subjects will be introduced in 2014.
One area the Framework for the National Curriculum examines is the benefits of supportinging oral language. The report states that there is evidence of a connection between oral development, cognitive development and educational attainment.
Learn how to teach English creatively in the new curriculum with our brand new Teaching English conference.
Be inspired and learn effective classroom practice from Pie Corbett in York, Birmingham and London this February. It will show you everything you need to implement Talk for Writing effectively within the new English curriculum in your school, as well as how to integrate spelling, vocabulary and grammar into the Talk for Writing approach.

White Clam Pie
- Servings: 4
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium red onion, finely diced
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 1/4 bunch fresh Italian parsley, picked from the stems
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds fresh cockles, about 15 cockles total, scrubbed
- 1 recipe Pizza Dough
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 3/4 pound fresh mozzarella cheese
How to make this recipe
Preheat the griddle to 300° F. Cook the 4 pizza rounds for 30 seconds on each side. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a saucepan heat the olive oil over medium heat, until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, onion, salt and chile flakes. As soon as the garlic and onions begin to look transparent, add the cockles and white wine. Continue to cook until all of the cockles have steamed open.
Meanwhile, divide the mozzarella evenly among the 4 marked pizza rounds, making sure to leave a 3/4-inch rim for the crust. Cook the prepared pizzas on the griddle until the dough is cooked but not dark, and the cheese has melted, about 4 minutes.
Remove the cockles from the pan with a slotted spoon and arrange the cockles (in their shells) on the pizzas, allowing a bit of the juices to drip from the spoon onto the pizza. Serve immediately.
Most typical Italian pizzerias combine double zero flour (made from soft wheat) with all-purpose flour (made from hard wheat) to create the best crust. Look for double zero flour at Italian specialty shops or substitute cake flour.

Certainly Custer made mistakes at the LBH, given the situation that actually existed rather than what he incorrectly believed to be the case, but to me that one day does not equal incompetence, given his history and regardless of how spectacular the consequences. Robert E. Lee pissed away far more lives at Malvern Hill and in the PPT Charge than Custer did at the LBH, but I don't view REL as incompetent. Bruce Trinque Amston, CT

Since that unveiling, several inquiries have been made about how the hospital's new name impacts UNMC and its logo.
The Nebraska Medical Center name applies to the hospital units and its employees. UNMC is a campus of the University of Nebraska, and the UNMC logo will be continue to be used on letterhead, business cards, and printed and electronic materials that represent the University of Nebraska Medical Center, according to Bill O'Neill, UNMC publications coordinator.
"UNMC's current logo was approved by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents two years ago, after the board received recommendations from a University-wide committee appointed by President L. Dennis Smith, Ph.D.," O'Neill said. "That committee also developed guidelines for use of the logo, and a group meets periodically to review its use."
Logo guidelines can be found at www.nebraska.edu/news/LogoHandbook.pdf.
According to Sandy Goetzinger-Comer, director of public affairs at UNMC, the hospital and medical center are working collaboratively on new campus signage.
"When the UNMC logo changed, one of the reasons we held off updating campus signage was because the hospital was in the process of evaluating its name," she said. "With this week's announcement, we are now in a position to work together on campus signage. Signage for clinics under University Medical Associates management is also being reviewed.
"We're pleased that the hospital chose a name that more closely aligns with UNMC. As the state's academic health sciences center and a campus of the University of Nebraska, we have an important mission of education, research, patient care and service that impacts the health of the state and beyond."

Love Vandal: Past Tense
Sometimes, people send us mean letters. But we get nice ones, too! The photo above and note below came from "a fireman in a city that you've heard of":
Sometimes our job takes us to some interesting places. Last week, I found myself 25 stories high, on the roof of an 80-year-old hotel. I saw this graffiti and thought of you guys. How did the artist get here? (The roof was virtually inaccessible). What happened to make him stop loving her? There was other graffiti there, the usual stuff — misspelled obscenities and accusations of coworkers' sexual leanings, but this piece definitely stood out. Hope you find the picture useful, and thanks for making such an interesting website. — some guy who reads your blog every now and then

We already knew that Universal was prepping a 3D re-release of the original Jurassic Park (1993) for this coming April — two months before the film's 20th anniversary. And we already knew that Universal had hired Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, the writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), to come up with a brand new Jurassic Park sequel.
But it wasn't until today that Universal committed to an actual release date for the new film — and it isn't that far away: June 13, 2014, or less than a year and a half from now. That's somewhat ambitious, for an effects-driven film that currently has no director or cast attached.

Here's a story about an X-Ring that was a long time coming. It wasn't lost; it just took a long time to find me.
I left school as a 14-year-old, when my mother died in 1935, and spent the next four years working in the lumber woods. The outbreak of war in September 1939 found me enlisting in the North Nova Scotia Highlanders where I served until I was wounded during the invasion of France in 1944.
During the period of my convalescence in the Military Hospital at Debert I was visited often by Truro members of the Canadian Legion, one member of which convinced me to return to school so that I might continue on to university. I heeded his advice and graduated from StFX in 1951 with a BComm (magna cum laude).
If you look back to those days, you'll find the X-Ring ceremony and wearing of X-Rings did not have the glamour it does today. This, plus the fact that I was married, had a family of two boys by the time I graduated, and didn't have any spare cash (the X-Ring cost about $20 in 1951!), meant I left my beloved Alma Mater without one of its most treasured gifts.
But wait, the story hasn't ended! In April 2001 I was driving home from Florida with my eldest son, Rick, (also a StFX grad), when I mentioned to him that I was going to finally buy my X-Ring. Nothing more was said about it, but when I went to order, The Ring, I thought it funny that a deposit wasn't asked for by Cameron's Jewelry.
I went to pick up my ring the Friday before Father's Day. As I entered Cameron's and said I was there to pick up my ring, imagine my surprise when the young lady asked all the staff to gather around as she ceremoniously presented me with my ring and a Father's Day card signed by my five sons. My sons Rick, Dave, Drew, Bob and Greg had bought my X-Ring and had it presented to me. 50 years after I graduated!
Hail and Health,You and I have shared stories in the past on the power of the X-Ring. This is another one. Like all friends of Robert Hynes '68, I was shocked at his untimely death. His daughter Erin is now a student at StFX. The attached words are taken (Editor's note: with permission) from Erin's eulogy in tribute to her father.- John Paul Murchland
"My dad always wanted so much for me and taught me the importance of an education. He pushed so hard for me to attend St. Francis Xavier University - the very university he graduated from.
After much discussion I decided to go - but let my dad know that I was going to hate every moment of it. I would never admit to him that I absolutely loved it or had the chance to thank him as it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
I am deeply saddened my dad won't be there to see me receive my X-Ring but I am going to make him a part of it by sizing and wearing his X-Ring. I will have my initials engraved right below his and I know that ring will mean more to me than a brand new one ever could.
It's just like him to leave me with more motivation than ever to graduate!"
Erin writes: Dear John Paul,I was very touched by the story you shared regarding my father's antics at StFX. It was very important to him that I attend StFX because I think he wanted me to have the same opportunities for growth both academically and emotionally that one can only find in a close knit university setting. It has been a difficult decision to return to X, leaving both my mother and close friends behind, however, when I looked deep within myself I knew that the decision to return was right for me. My mom is keeping the ring in safe keeping and I know when I finally get to put it on - I will be keeping a part of my father with me forever. Beyond that - I will look to that ring to see an emotional and academic strength that my father always wanted for me. I would be honoured if the story was used by alumni. - Erin
I am a teacher in Woodbridge, Ontario. Shortly after the Maclean's magazine university rankings came out last year, I was telling my grade 11 class all about StFX, the tradition of the X-Ring and the meaning of a StFX University education. I passed my X-Ring around the classroom and while the students took turns trying it on, they asked me questions. I told them about the X-Ring ceremony, how students count down the days until they get their own ring, the rules for getting one, and how it has become so popular.
A female student raised her hand and said that her mother had found an X-Ring a few years ago and that she still had it sitting at home.
I explained to her and the class that people associated with the university know how much a lost ring means to the owner and will attempt to find that person to give it back. I showed them how someone could use the graduation date and the engraving on the inside to help locate the owner. I also talked about AlumniNews and how it has a section devoted to lost and found X-Rings. When I would be home for Christmas, I told them, I would go to the Alumni Office where people would most likely be able to find the rightful owner. The class thought this was pretty cool.
A couple of days later, the student brought the X-Ring in. It was from the 1976 graduating class, with the initials R.V.B., B.Sc.N inscribed on it. She said her mother had found it on the bus.
Having returned to Antigonish for Christmas, I walked into Alumni House and in ten minutes Noreen Nunn and another lady there were able to locate the owner using the 1976 yearbook and convocation ceremony program. A short phone call later, I was talking to Joseph Spee and discovered that he and his wife (formerly Ria Van Berkel '76) lived just a 15-minute drive away from me in Toronto. Ria, not in when I called, had lost her X-Ring while out for a walk in Bayview Village a few years ago.
When I got back to Toronto on January 4, I phoned the Spee family and made arrangements to meet later that day. We had a great conversation, finding out that I knew many of her relatives as she was also from Antigonish. We talked about the discovery of her lost ring and reminisced about X and Antigonish. Ria was very excited and thankful to the student and myself for caring so much to take the time to get her ring back to her.
During our conversation she said she had given up hope of finding it, yet she held onto a hope for divine intervention.. Through the interplay of events, this finally did happen.
Thank you to AlumniNews for other success stories of X-Rings being returned, so that myself and other X alumni know that people do take the time to locate each other.
- Brian MacIsaac '91
Like many students last fall, I looked forward with great anticipation to the day I would receive my X-Ring. As someone with many family ties to the university, I had seen the ring worn proudly at family functions my whole life, and I enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came along with wearing it.
In early February, the ring went missing. At first I assumed it had fallen behind my desk, or was buried under a stack of books. Finding the ring was not going to be as simple as that; over the next three months I searched endlessly for the ring and thought continually about its possible whereabouts. Despite the help of friends and family, and my grandmother's continued prayers to St. Anthony,
I resigned myself to the fact that the ring would probably not be found in time for Convocation. Unfortunately, I was right.
In mid-August, a good friend of mine and fellow Celtic Society enthusiast called to invite me to Antigonish. I was told that the AlumniNews wished to speak with both of us for an upcoming article on the Gaelic Scholarship fund and the Celtic Society. As one of the recipients for this year's scholarship I was more than willing to share some of my experiences.
So I arrived back in Antigonish one day in August. Ready for our lunchtime interview we met and proceeded to a local restaurant where I was told we were to meet with a representative of your magazine. Entering the building, I saw a dozen friends of mine gathered around a table. I was quickly handed a small blue box, not unlike that which my own X-Ring came in, and told that instead of an interview about scholarships, this was to be day for X-Rings!
Unbeknownst to me, a move had been on since mid-June to raise enough money to replace my lost ring! Twenty people, friends spanning my four years at X, contributed more than $400 to replace the ring. Contributions had been sent in from as far away as British Columbia and letters were written by several contributors. That night all those who could be in Antigonish for the event went out and a good time was had by all.
The ring means more to me now than the original ever could have. To be able to earn an X-ring through scholarly endeavour is a wonderful experience; to be able to earn it again, through friendship, is a rare privilege and one for which I consider myself exceedingly fortunate. The event testifies to the unity of the Xaverian spirit and the generosity of its nature.
- Shamus MacDonald '02
It's December 4, 2002, just 24 hours since over 1,000 grads received their (fully earned and highly anticipated) X-Rings, which also marks the beginning of the university's 150th anniversary celebrations and #1 ranking in Maclean's magazine! After nearly an hour of speeches, prayers and songs we finally made our way to the front of the cathedral where we received our treasures; a sparkling gold-plated ring with the famous black X staring up at us, and personalized engravings on the underside. Beautiful! As my neighbour remarked we just couldn't put them on our fingers fast enough! Back in September, each X-Ring candidate was told to order, size and pay for their ring so that Cameron's Jewelers could get a head start on the hundreds of rings to be made.
This is where my story differs from most recipients. As many university students may appreciate and sympathize with, my bank account was now in a state of constant decline as my summer job had ended months ago. I was of course, worried about where the money for my next seven months worth of groceries would come from, let alone how I was going to pay for a $500 ring! So sadly, I opted out. My classmates, roommates and friends all filled me in on their personal day to day dramas and excitement with regards to their ring situation, so although I still felt somewhat involved, I knew I wouldn't be there on the actual day of the ever-anticipated X-Ring ceremony.
Unbeknownst to me, just two weeks before the ceremony, my mom had done a garden consult for two X-grads, Erin and Joe Bradford, back at home in Calgary, who had later gone on to do further education in Montreal, but never forgot their fond memories of Antigonish. Mom had spotted their rings almost immediately (as her eye had been trained over the years since I'd started here) and told them I was graduating from X this year. The couple was immediately thrilled and spoke favourably of their time out on the East Coast. They told my mom they'd never forget it, especially their X-Ring ceremony! They inquired as to whether I was getting a ring, and my mom told them, no, as it just wasn't in the budget this year.
A week later, after only having met that couple briefly for a one-hour consult, Mr. Bradford called up my mom and told her he had contacted Cameron's Jewelers and had asked if a ring could be made late by special order for me.
Aloma, the woman in charge, was more than thrilled to help out and told me that she loves doing what she can to help in this sort of situation. Mr. Bradford also offered to pay for half of the ring, if my mom could cover the other half, my only contribution would be to go get myself sized! An hour later, it was all sorted out! The woman at Cameron's decided to lend me an old ring from 1980, which she had in the back of the shop, so that I could participate in the ceremony. Afterwards I was to go back to the shop to return the old ring and get my new one.
After returning home that day and telling my husband and roommates the story, I was reminded of a movie we had just watched a week prior called. Pay it Forward. The concept is that people help others in any way they can, in hope that maybe some day that person will do the same for someone else.
How was I to thank the couple who made my experience here at X that much more meaningful and memorable? This amazing and spontaneous act of generosity on behalf of the Bradfords was hugely appreciated, and could not go unnoticed. A friend of mine suggested I write to the Alumni News, so that their generosity could be read by all Xaverians, so this is what Ive done.
This is proof of just how pervasive X-spirit really is, and the extent to which X-Alumni can go to help out another. Thank-you both for your unexpected support and warmth! My ring means all the more to me now that I have truly experienced the essence of what this university is made of, and prides itself on.
Whenever I wear my ring, I will remember this story and think of the two of you! Cheers, from a very grateful and happy Xaverian!

I am wondering if there were different techniques for fat transfer in the facial area, i.e. cheeks, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds and lips. If so which technique is better? I have researched about it a bit and different doctors do it differently: one takes the fat directly from an area to your face; others freeze the fat then inject it in different treatments over time. I'm confused.
Different Techniques for Facial Fat Transfer?
Doctor Answers 8
Fat Transfer Techniques
I think that the primary reason that fat grafting is rated low in RealSelf is that there is such a wide range of techniques, instrumentation and experience among the surgeons that perform this surgical procedure. Because of the tremendous variability in all of these factors, there is tremendous variability in fat grafting results. To perform fat grafting successfully and reproducibly a surgeon must employ careful preoperative planning, appropriate instrumentation and meticulous surgical technique. It is not something you can 'rush through' or spend just a few minutes on during a larger surgical procedure. The unfortunate reality is that not everyone who performs fat grafting is willing to put in the level of education, training, investment in instrumentation and operative effort required to produce aesthetically ideal results.
One must also have an aesthetic vision for ideal and youthful-appearing facial fullness. Just like traditional facelift surgery can be overdone or performed incorrectly to produce an unnaturally tight, pulled, 'windswept' look, fat grafting can be overdone to produce an excessively full and even bizarre postoperative appearance. Too much fat grafted into any area (or any fat placed where it doesn't belong) looks unnatural. It's analogous to breast augmentation results: if the surgeons selects an appropriate implant volume and positions the implants correctly, the patient gets a beautiful, natural-appearing breast enhancement. If the surgeons stuffs a pair of 500cc implants behind the breasts of an average-sized patient, then that patient ends up with a cartoonish 'boob job'. I think many of the unfavorable results in fat grafting are from the overzealous placement of excessive amounts of fat, which may have been the inevitable response to the recent paradigm shift in aesthetic facial surgery: away from the 'wind tunnel look', and towards the restoration of soft tissue volume.
Here is one patient's experience with fat grafting posted to RealSelf:
Fat is great when used JUDICIOUSLY and CONSERVATIVELY, but too much of a good thing becomes a nightmare and deeply regrettable. Make sure your surgeon listens, draws up precise operative plans beforehand and makes plenty of time for you and your concerns. Do NOT take it lightly.
I couldn't agree more with this patient's response to her experience with fat grafting. Just like breast implants, or liposuction, or browlifts, too much of a good thing is not at all a good thing. And cosmetic surgery (and this includes the preparation for surgery) of any kind without attention to detail and a focus on natural-appearing results will leave patients feeling disappointed at best and feeling disfigured at worst. Now regarding whether or not fat grafting is a surgically sound concept…
For transferred fat to truly qualify as a 'graft' the following must happen: living tissue must be transferred to a new location, and that tissue must gain a blood supply at the new location which provides oxygen and nutrients which allow it to persist indefinitely as living tissue. We know that with appropriate instrumentation and technique this is achievable, so one of the opinions expressed in this thread that "most of the cells from fat injection are dead " is simply untrue (and structural fat grafting, to be clear, does not involve 'injection' of fat). MRI studies have shown that with appropriate technique grafted fat persists long-term as living, vascularized tissue in the recipient site.
It is also well-established that adult human fatty tissue contains stem cells that have the capacity to repair damaged or injured tissues, and stem cells can be concentrated during the fat harvesting process. This effect has applications in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Fat grafting is now being used, for example, as a means to stimulate the repair of chronic, non-healing wounds. Several centers have reported on fat grafting immediately below non-healing chronic wounds resulting from radiation therapy for cancer, with rapid improvement and eventual healing of wounds for which no other wound treatment was successful. The development of stem cell therapies involving the harvesting and processing of viable human fatty tissue is one of the hottest topics in both clinical and experimental medicine today.
When performed correctly fat grafting actually has the capacity to heal, revitalize and rejuvenate the local tissues at the recipient site. I have treated a number of patients with facial fat atrophy following overly aggressive 'non-invasive' rejuvenation treatments including Thermage, Fraxel and IPL. Most of these patients report not only an aesthetically pleasing and permanent improvement in facial soft tissue volume, but also an improvement in the quality and vitality of their facial skin.
I perform extensive facial fat grafting during most of my facial rejuvenation procedures, and it is the very first thing I do - before making any incisions to lift the brows, eyelids, face or neck. Fat grafting allows me to obtain results that are simply not possible with conventional, subtractive surgical techniques alone. Patients frequently return for grafting of additional areas after their initial experience with strucutral fat grafting. To characterize it as the pointless and potentially harmful placement of non-viable tissue is an opinion only, and it is an opinion with which quite a number of plastic surgeons who successfully rejuvenate faces (and breasts and bodies) with fat grafting would vehemently disagree, myself included.
Solid fat/fascia and fat dermis grafts are another means by which facial soft tissue volume may be significantly and permanently enhanced. As with fat grafting, survival of the grafted tissue is variable and some of the graft material is reabsorbed. As with fat grafting, potential complications such as infection and cyst formation are possible. And as with fat grafting, appropriate preoperative planning and surgical technique are required in order to obtain ideal and lasting results. In my opinion structural fat grafting is more versatile, as fat can be easily and rapidly added to any tissue plane (level); and it has the added benefit of the 'stem cell effect' which is difficult to quantify but unquestionably present in many cases.
Both structural fat grafting and fascia-fat (or dermis-fat) grafting can be competently performed (or not) by Board-certified plastic surgeons. Neither should be trademarked or considered proprietary.
As with any surgical procedure take time researching your plastic surgeon. Schedule several consultation, view many photos from many patients, each from multiple perspectives (start by looking at photos on this website) and speak to former patients of any plastic surgeon you are consi

Fresh fat vs Frozen fat
An overwhelming majority of plastic surgeons transfer freshly harvested fat. Techniques for harvesting, processing and implantation may differ. The reason fresh fat works is simple. Blood flow keep the fat cells alive. Once harvested, cells lose nutrition and begin to die (ischemia). If transferred after harvest they are placed in an area surrounded by good blood flow which in theory reinstates the longevity of fat and enhanced the "take" (decreased ischemia time). Many other fields operate under this same principle (microsurgery and breast reconstruction, organ and tissue transplantation, trauma and amputation, etc..) If we can halt ischemia time with freezing then there would be no need to rush transplant harvest limb salvage or in this case implantation of fat. Pl visit with a board certified plastic surgeon. All are well equipped to answer your specific questions and explain their method of fat transfer.
Fat transfer
there is no evidence based scientific studies proving one technique is better than the other, however, gentle handling of the harvested fat and injecting very small amounts improves the results

Fat transfer techniques
You are confused because so many doctors do this procedure differently as you state. There are no convincing studies that state that frozen fat doesn't work as well as fresh fat, nor any evidence that indicates only one method is appropriate. Just make sure that if the fat is frozen, the doctor has a mechanism to safeguard the fat if a power outage occurs, and that there is a mechanism in place to ensure that you receive your stored fat and not someone else's by mistake! There should also be a limit to the time the fat is stored. You wouldn't want to use fat that is stored for a couple of years in case there is a greater chance of bacterial infection.

Facial fat graft transfer with micro grafts
Facial cosmetic surgery with autologous (your own) fat is a key procedure that many plastic surgeons perform, with or without additional cosmetic surgery. Fat may be transferred to many areas of the body, although the face is the primary location for rejuvenation.
Fat injection with micro grafting has many subtle variations in technique. The surgeon harvests, processes, and injects fat with methods that ensures that most of the fat is preserved and with minimal damage to the tissue. Fresh is always better than frozen. However, your plastic surgeon may freeze fat to allow touch up procedures as needed, without requiring another fat harvest. Best of luck.
Micro fat grafting, facial contouring
Dear Intears, I am delighted that you ask this question. Fat transfer has been a controversial topic for many years. A lot of Plastic Surgeons refused to adopt the technique of fat transfer for facial contouring due to historic reasons and techniques. Obviously the test of time has born out that tranfsering fat does work to add volume to an area of the body. The principle is to transfer small amounts to each tiny location- so that the fat can take on a new blood supply. There is a lot of discussion about the transfer of 'stem' cell which help improve the quality of the tissues in the area.
There has not been comparative studies of the techniques in humans- to show differences in cosmetic surgical outcomes, There are claims by individual that one technique is 'better' than another technique and that 'their' technique has les risk of complications...... this is mainly in the realm of injected fat over fat placed in chunks into the tissues.
Micro fat transfer is an essential component of facial shaping and restoring a youthful appearance. I have been using this for 11 years and have had consistant results in multiple areas- facial contouring, under eye hollows, cheek augmentation, shin augmentation, jawline shaping, forehead shaping, breast augmentation and contouring, buttocks augmentation, correction of liposuction deformities, correction of surgical deformities.
With Warm Regards,

Fat Transfer, Fresh or Frozen. Like Seafood, Go for the Fresh
Hi InTears,
There are many different techniques of fat transfer. Freshly harvested fat is best to use and has the best longevity.
Some physicians do freeze and store the fat that is left over to use it for touch ups 5 to 6 months after the initial procedure. The percentage of fat transferred that survives, and the percentage of viable fat cells are much lower in frozen fat.
Good luck and be well.
Dr. P
Are there different techniques for facial fat transfer?
Although there are indeed many different techniques for fat transfer to the face, or for that matter anywhere else, the principles of successful fat grafting are now well known. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has published a position paper on this on their Journal's June issue.
Extraction under low pressure system
Centrigugation at low G forces and for less than 3 minutes
Minimal manipulation of fat or exposure to air and contaminants
Injection with small cannulas using a micro droplet technique.

Journalist, officer held in U.K. corruption probe
LONDON (AP) – British police investigating unethical links between police and reporters arrested a journalist and a police officer Tuesday for questioning.
Sponsored Links
Scotland Yard identified them only as a 37-year-old journalist and a 29-year-old Sussex police officer, and said they were taken into custody at their homes in an early morning raid.
The arrests are related to suspected payments made to a public official. The two men were released on bail later Tuesday.
So far, police have arrested 43 people in a U.K. probe into press wrongdoing and corruption.
The investigation is tied to a parallel probe into Britain's phone hacking scandal, which has rocked the country's media and political institutions, and led to criminal charges against suspects such as Rebekah Brooks, the former chief of News Corp.'s British operations.

On the three-year anniversary of the Decision, the Cavaliers welcomed Andrew Bynum to Cleveland Clinic Courts on Monday and showed him around. They looked at his knees, talked about his past and his future before finally presenting him with an offer he couldn't refuse.
It just took him a few days to agree.
Bynum called the Cavaliers shortly after dinner Wednesday evening and accepted the offer, which guarantees him $6 million for next season and could escalate to $12 million with incentives. The Cavaliers hold a team option for $12 million guaranteed in 2014-15.
He is easily the biggest NBA free agent to ever declare he wanted to play in Cleveland, and if he is healthy, he immediately makes the Cavaliers a playoff contender again in the Eastern Conference.
But that "if" will loom over the organization until he steps on the court and proves he can again be the player he once was.
Bynum missed all of last season with problems to both knees. He had surgery on both knees in March. Asked if one knee was worse than the other, a Cavs executive replied Wednesday, "They're both not good."
It's part of the reason the Cavs were able to get him on the cheap — and yes, $6 million guaranteed in NBA circles isn't too bad for a 7-foot, 300-pound 25-year-old with an All-Star appearance and two championship rings.
The Philadelphia 76ers gave away an All-Star in Andre Iguodala and paid Bynum $17 million last season to watch him sit on the bench and play with his hair. He never played one minute for them.
Other teams with cap space were scared off by his knees. ESPN, the first to report Bynum chose the Cavaliers, also reported that neither the Atlanta Hawks nor the Dallas Mavericks gave Bynum a formal contract offer.
The Cavs credit the aggressiveness and willingness of owner Dan Gilert to take such a risk. The $6 million the Cavs are guaranteed to pay Bynum is the same amount they gave Luke Walton last season.
It's a risk the Cavaliers believed they had to take, but it's a risk nonetheless.
Bynum needs to lose weight and get back in basketball shape, a league source said, speaking on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the negotiations. His agent, David Lee, has insisted Bynum will be ready when training camp begins, but the Cavaliers aren't so sure. They will bring him along slowly and believe they have the right stable of bigs (Anderson Varejao, Tristan Thompson, Anthony Bennett and Tyler Zeller) to protect Bynum from too many minutes too fast.
New coach Mike Brown played a huge role in Bynum's return, according to a second league source. Bynum averaged career-best numbers of 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds while playing under Brown for the Los Angeles Lakers two years ago.
Regardless of how he fares in Cleveland, Bynum's signing is a signal to the rest of the league the Cavaliers are serious about contending again. In the three years since LeBron James left, General Manager Chris Grant spent less than $7 million in free agency.
They have spent $30 million in guaranteed dollars this month to Jarrett Jack, Earl Clark and now Bynum.
Add in No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett, another first-round pick in Sergey Karasev and suddenly the Cavaliers' roster will look drastically different than the team that finished last season 24-58 — the third-worst mark in the NBA.
The Cavaliers are out of cap space. Although only $6 million on Bynum's deal is guaranteed, the entire $12 million for next season counts against the cap. They have 15 players under contract, but Chris Quinn, Kevin Jones and C.J. Miles are all on non-guaranteed deals. Miles is the likeliest to return, followed by Jones. Quinn will likely be released.
The Cavs will have a midlevel exception worth about $2.6 million to sign another player if they choose.
In the bigger picture, if Bynum returns to form, the Cavaliers have just given James something to consider as he enters the final season with the Miami Heat before he can again opt for free agency.
With a little finagling, the Cavaliers will have enough cap room next summer for Kyrie Irving, Bynum and a max contract.
James left Cleveland three years ago to form a Big Three. Three years later, on the anniversary of the night James left town, the Cavaliers introduced themselves to Andrew Bynum and showed him around. They are inching closer and closer to building a Big Three of their own.
But only if those knees are healthy.

Hi and welcome to Just Answer!Because that is a corporation registered in the US - it is required to file a federal annual tax return regardless of not having any activity. You need to file the form 1120 U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return.All worldwide income is reported - included income from a foreign subsidiary. If the same income is subject of income tax in a foreign country - the corporation may claim a credit for foreign taxes - thus - effectively will avoid double taxation.

Kiss: The five most shameless examples of the band's merchandising efforts over the years
Legendary bass player and merchandising tycoon Gene Simmons has announced a new restaurant chain, creatively titled Rock & Brews, that will satisfy hungry classic-rock fans craving to eat in a place that looks like a glorified backstage area. The franchise will debut this year in El Segundo, California, and additional locations are slated to open in Denver, Tokyo, Atlanta and a handful of other cities around the world. But that's not the lowest Kiss has sunk to lighten the pockets of its adoring fan base.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the restaurant won't be covered in Kiss logos, despite the long-tongued bass legend's involvement. After all, the band that never stopped wanting to "rock and roll all day and party every night" has licensed over 3,000 items with the group's iconic likeness, including T-shirts, earrings, condoms, sleeping bags and lunchboxes, to name just a few.
While Kiss is probably competing against Disney, Coca-Cola and Budweiser for the title of "Most Merchandised Ever," not all of the items they've tried hawking to loyal members of the Kiss Army have been winners. Whether you're a fan or not, these five acts of shameless commercialism might be enough to tarnish even Kiss's sterling arena-rock reputation.
5. Kiss HD TV If you don't want to obsessively watch an endless loop of Kiss concert DVDs on a TV that looks like it was made of metal treads and has Kiss logos emblazoned on the lower corners, then you're not a real Kiss fan. Unfortunately, the Kiss HD TV actually exists. It comes in a variety of sizes (32," 42," and 55" models are available), meaning that almost any die-hard Kiss fan can afford to prove they have more expendable income and less to live for than their friends. Maybe if the TV emulated the band's stage show and shot fire out of the top every time there was an explosion on TV, then it would be the best TV ever. But as it is, this is just a TV with a Kiss logo on it. Put some stickers on the TV you have, and off you go.

4. Kiss shills for Walmart When you're the most commercially licensed band in the history of the universe, sometimes it's hard to figure out how to expand your market share. But then the world's largest retailer, Walmart, steps up and asks for exclusive distribution of your next album. Kiss raises the stakes by appearing in a two-minute-long promo video that is painfully awkward (and hilarious). What's really troubling about this is that it's hard to tell what's more offensive -- Kiss partnering with a retailer that undermined local economies in thousands of small towns across the country, or the fact that the band thought it should actually release another album (2010's Sonic Boom)
This would be the pinnacle of selling out on most band's lists, but not Kiss...Next Page

The result came after Labour and Liberal Democrat MSPs from the east coast spoke against the charges.
The SNP-led debate demanded the abolition of tolls, but the transport minister warned that the move could make congestion worse.
Both the Nationalists and executive motions were defeated.
Rebel Fife MSP Scott Barrie earlier told parliament he had resigned as Labour whip to speak out against the tolls.
The Nationalists brought the debate to "end the discrimination" against the east of Scotland, putting forward a motion calling for the removal of tolls on the two road bridges.
Mr Barrie, Labour MSP for Dunfermline West, said he was unable to support an executive motion seeking to link retention of tolls with the case for a new Forth crossing.
"I believe absolutely, fundamentally, tolls on the Forth and Tay bridges should be removed," he said.
He was backed by Helen Eadie, Labour MSP for Dunfermline East, and Liberal Democrat North East Fife MSP Iain Smith, who both said they supported the SNP on the issue.
The SNP call to scrap the Forth and Tay road bridge tolls was defeated by 65 votes to 58 with one abstention.
'Cynical ploy'
The executive amendment, calling for abolition of tolls to be considered as part of the case for a new crossing was also defeated - by 66 votes to 56.
The scrapping of tolls on the Skye and Erskine bridges in the west prompted SNP to claim that continuing tolls in the east has led to resentment in that part of the country.
Transport Minister Tavish Scott said that, based on interviews with employers and the public sector in Dundee, Fife and Lothians, the financial level of the tolls were not a major concern.
"Of much more concern is the issue of increasing traffic levels, increasing congestion and, of course, the separate issue of the viability of the Forth Road Bridge crossing," he told MSPs.
He went on: "Removing these tolls increases congestion, which increases emissions, which increases our impact upon the global environment. The SNP are in denial about that."
Mid Scotland and Fife SNP MSP Tricia Marwick earlier accused Labour and the Lib Dems of a "cynical ploy" in allowing Fife MSPs to vote in favour of the SNP motion.
She added: "The toll money has been used since 1995 as the cash cow to fund transport projects which should be the responsibility of government."
Tory deputy leader and Mid Scotland and Fife MSP Murdo Fraser described the tolls as "a unique form of taxation on the people of Fife and the east of Scotland".
And Green Lothians MSP Mark Ballard argued for an alternative form of charges, where vehicles travelling at peak periods had to pay more.
SSP leader Colin Fox also spoke against the charges.
A spokesman for the National Alliance Against Tolls said: "The people of Fife and Tayside will be extremely disappointed. The tolls should have been removed many years ago.
"This vote is a clear signal that the executive is determined to hang on to both the tolls. Any promises to remove the tolls that may appear in the manifestos of those parties that voted for the toll will be worthless."

Alyssa Milano On Being A Mommy, A 'Mistress' and Making That 'Sex Tape'
Alyssa Milano knew what she was getting into when she got under the sheets… that is, for her latest Funny or Die "sex tape" that sure got our attention.
And she's pleased with her performance.
"When [president of production] Mike Farah pitched me the idea I just thought it was a really smart social statement about where we are as a country and how we are more likely to click on something that says 'sex tape' than they are to click on some news that will educate them about certain situations," Milano told Celebuzz. "But I had a feeling it would have an impact and I'm really glad that it did."
Oh, and romping with co-star Nick Corirossi was just an added bonus.
"It was a lot of fun," she gushed.
In other TV news, the Mistresses star is coming up on her first finale for the season and can't wait to share the news fans have all been waiting for.
"I'm happy to tell you we do find out who the baby daddy is," she says of her character Savannah Davis who had an affair, her husband found out — and to top it off, she's pregnant.
"I'm really excited, I think the audience will definitely feel fulfilled," added Milano.
From TV kids to real life children, the mom to 2-year-old son Milo Thomas loves mommyhood… and reveals that the "terrible twos" aren't so terrible.
"Amazing! I mean very day is certainly more special than the next," she said. "This is such a great age because they're really learning how to articulate their personality. I'm of the belief system that they kind of come out who they are and it just takes a couple years for them to express who they are. It's so special. I love being Milo's mom."
The Mistresses finale airs September 9 at 9 p.m. on ABC and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel.
