LG Optimus Vu pictured with fellow phablet Samsung GALAXY Note
Samsung GALAXY Note has been making the rounds online. While the former device is slightly smaller than the GALAXY Note, the 4:3 aspect ratio on the Optimus Vu makes it wider than the Samsung device. Looking at the 5 inch and 5.3 inch screens on the LG Optimus Vu and Samsung GALAXY Note respectively, we have to ask what the heck is in the Korean water that makes smartphones grow so big there?
The LG Optimus Vu is certainly a model that any smartphone fanatic would love to see more of later this month in Barcelona. Hopefully we will learn about availability and pricing of the phablet at MWC. And who would have thought that the Samsung GALAXY Note would have what appears to be such a strong competitor so soon?

the note looks way freaking nicer.
LG is known for making s**tty phones.
Samsung on the other hand is not.
Plus add the fact that the samsung developer community is waaaaay bigger than the LG community.
Hopefully LG will prove me wrong.. but by their history .. i can only guess not.

Oh, come on, its not that bad. Watch the LG optimus VU video, it has a good design.
9. greenrolaids (Posts: 56; Member since: 04 Feb 2012)
im only speculating from the past lg phones..
and the past lg phones have been marketed like the pantec phones.. at the mid to bottom price points.
they usually cut corners to get to that point.
I hope they prove me wrong.. but history tells a better story than hope.

i agree. and i must repeat that LG phones sucks. the only LG phone i may want to have is the New Prada. the rest to me are very ugly and funny. hnnnn

Samsung has made plenty of s***ty phones. Remember the -intercept? The replenish?
24. Pdubb (Posts: 248; Member since: 08 Aug 2011)
The Transform, the Moment just to add to the list.
29. Nizar (Posts: 4; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
remember the instinct? LOL

In your humble opinion.

I agree; the note looks nicer.

LG is nice actually, all they need is to use a better Mobile chipset then optimize it.
4. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Two things going for the LG device: (a) larger icons and (b) no stylus to lose.
5. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
LG's UI looks way too crappy, it just looks like its made for Feature phones. Maybe not everyone loves Touchwiz but at least it doesnt hinder the experience. SGS2 and beyond devices have been very snappy and responsive while the ONLY decent LG phone has been the G2X running STOCK gingerbread.

Galaxy Note is Much Better....
10. redmd (Posts: 1368; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
the only thing going for the LG is their superb IPS display. other than that, I will just have to keep my Note. they should have gone the 16:9 screen ratio and maintain a comfortable one handed grip, 1280x800 or greater screen resolution, bigger battery capacity, and ICS out the box. almost awesome LG.
17. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
ips instead of amoled hd, no thanks
31. skymitch89 (Posts: 1363; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
1280x800 isn't 16:9, it's 8:5/16:10

11. Exofuji (Posts: 19; Member since: 25 Jan 2012)
IDK ... All else being equal I'd take the LG.
12. mercorp (Posts: 1043; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
I hate the 4:3 resoloution.why not use a normal screen aspect,lg?
14. REYNER (Posts: 187; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
the phone lg vu looks wider and i think that would not fit easily to everyone's hANd actually lg phone looks good and way cheaper but most of the time the leading competitor has much to give and thats hopefully this one would not fail!
15. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
sooooooooooooooooo ugly Note has 1000000 times better look
16. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
4:3 is great for gaming and web browsing, much better than 16:9, only thing that it is worst than 16:9 is watching movies...and its better looking than note i dont care what you say samsung fans, its better looking
27. LoneShaolin (Posts: 307; Member since: 14 Jan 2012)
Agreed. I own a Samsung and still think the LG looks pretty good.
18. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
sincerely it's the worst phone design i've ever seen. Square phone phahahahahah
30. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
4x3 is a rectangle.
19. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Apparently we have some wussy lg fanboys in here who just wanna thumb everyone down for not liking LG.
20. andro. (Posts: 1999; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
The 4:3 screen aspect is quite puzzling as its an old outdated screen ratio these days and only used in cheap budget phones types and iphones. Also this aspect will make the vu uncomfortably wide in the hand in comparison to the galaxy note.
21. k1ng617 (Posts: 264; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
Lol! The Note is huge, but in my eyes very sleek and sexy. Tub-O on the other hand could stand to lose a few pounds.
Competition is good, but honestly i don't think LG chose the right spec to differentiate on.
22. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I'm no LG fanboy, but LG is known for being the first in the smartphone arena. First touch screen, first dualcore, first device with HD display, first Ltd/hdspa+ handset, and soon first quadcore phone. LG has a solid track history and they are still progressing. Ill be the first to admit my g2x isn't perfect, but it was a game changer.
25. solidsnakeduds013 (Posts: 219; Member since: 20 Oct 2010)
DITCH THE WORD PHABLET!!!!!! Both of the devices are PHONES! not TABLETS!.. Anyways LGs PHONE is going to be a fail. It doesn't look like any thought was put into making the phone. As for samsung the note for now isn't something I would buy but I would like to hold the phone to see how it feels.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (March 18, 2017) – The Tars dropped their series opener to the Eckerd Tritons 3-2 on Saturday afternoon. With the loss Rollins falls to 21-12 overall, and 4-3 in Sunshine State Conference play. The Tritons improve to 12-18, and pick up their first SSC win, now sitting at 1-6.
The contest was the first true road game for the Tars since February 25. Rollins had played 17 consecutive home matches, going 14-3. Rollins falls to 1-3 in true road contests on the year, and 6-7 away from Martin Luther King, Jr. Park.
· The Tritons jumped out to an early lead, scoring once in the bottom of the first, then again in the second. Chelsea Armstrong tallied the RBI single in the first, then Kiley King scored an un earned run in the second.
· The Tars tied it up in the fourth, plating two runs of their own. Rachel Minier started the rally with a two out double, eventually scoring on a wild pitch. Grace Street then crossed the plate on a Sarah Harrison RBI double.
· Eckerd walked off in the seventh, after getting one out Rollins gave up back-to-back singles, then the game winner, an RBI double by Rachael Luckett.
· Sarah Harrison (RF) – 1-1, 2B, RBI, 2 BB
· Rachael Luckett (1B) – 2-4, 2B, RBI
· Sarah Piening – L, 6.1 IP, 3 Runs, 2 Earned Runs, 2 SO
· Nikole Van Gennep – 5.0 IP, 2 Runs, 2 SO
· Chelsea Reed is now a perfect 10-10 on steals this year, and swiped career bag number 46 in fifth inning.
· Rollins has not lost a series to Eckerd in over 11 year; the Tars will need to sweep tomorrow's double-header to keep that streak alive.
· The Tars left nine runners on the base paths, including leaving the bases loaded in the fifth inning.
· Rachel Minier tied Brianne Lint for the team lead with her seventh double of the season.
· Michelle Frew is now 763-313-1 in her 22nd season at the helm of the Rollins softball program.
Rollins and Eckerd will conclude their three game set with a double-header tomorrow, March 19. First pitch of game one is set for 1 p.m.

The Florida State Seminoles Logo Fathead Wall Decal: Are you having a hard time finding a Florida State poster that is BIG enough? How about one that doesn't need tape, tacks or putty? Welcome to the Florida State Seminoles Logo Fathead wall graphic. An officially licensed Florida State University wall decal from Fathead is huge and it stays up on its own with a low-tac adhesive that won't damage your walls. You can also move it and reuse it. So forget posters and wall stickers, and Go Big - REAL.BIG. with a Florida State Seminoles Fathead wall graphic.
Create The Ultimate Florida State Seminoles Fan Room: Anyone looking to for a Florida State Seminoles poster, stop cheating yourself. Admitting you're a bigger fan than a poster can show is the first step to recovery. Fathead is here to help all the true Florida State fans who cheer on the Seminoles, show their team pride with the Florida State Seminoles Logo wall decal. This giant logo is sure to catch people's attention wherever you place it. Plus with all the extra wall decals you get, you can create the ultimate fan cave.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface.

Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

I am Honest, Caring, and Different
** To all those ho click "like" on my profile, thank you. But as I am not a paid subscriber I can't view them. So just send a note instead :)
Am very liberal when it come to politics & social issues. This comes as a suprise to a lot of folks to..lol. As does the fact that I am pagan, though with a Humanist slant to it. Like UU churches just hav'nt been able to attend much the last year due to my work schedule.
Good friends
Good lovers
The beach
Good book
Spiced rum..lol
You would like for starters just to have a good friend to hang out with :) I tend to let others contact me rather than contacting them. That way i know they have read all of the above & are OK with it. I put my profile on here and other sites as "Jenette" just to get that out of the way from the start. As I mentioned in the summary, in guy mode 99% of the time and quite happy with that, though would love to have more time and friends for "Jenette" I don't actually live in the City but spend a lot (most if you count work) of my time there. For the most part just looking for some friends to hang out with once in a while.

AbstractGalileo images of Gaspra reveal it to be an irregularly shaped object (19 by 12 by 11 kilometers) that appears to have been created by a catastrophic collisional disruption of a precursor parent body. The cratering age of the surface is about 200 million years. Subtle albedo and color variations appear to correlate with morphological features: Brighter materials are associated with craters especially along the crests of ridges, have a stronger 1-micrometer absorption, and may represent freshly excavated mafic materials; darker materials exhibiting a significantly weaker 1-micrometer absorption appear concentrated in interridge areas. One explanation of these patterns is that Gaspra is covered with a thin regolith and that some of this material has migrated downslope in some areas.

I simply said it was beyond us to understand. That goes for science AND religion.
Except science chooses to keep exploring a possible answer, testing theories and evolving. Religion does not. Saying "We can't ever understand, so why try" is a pretty stupid thing to believe.
Sure. But here's the point that I think some people are failing to grasp. Religion isn't trying to be science. Religion and science don't serve the same purpose in society. Never have. Religion is almost exclusively a method of control of a population. While there are some side aspects to it like "Where do we come from?" and "Why is the sky blue", that's really not the purview of religion, and with some extremely rare exceptions, religions are more than happy to let science answer those questions when it can.
What religion does is get people to adopt a set of moral structures, and then uses those structures to impose order. Period. It's about getting the people in a society to follow "the rules", even when the big guy with the big stick isn't standing right in front of them. If you tell them that failing to follow the rules means their crops will die, or a flood will wash them away, or they'll go to some eternal **** when they die, you can get people to continue following the rules even when the rule makers and enforcers of society aren't right there. There's a reason why organized religion's appearance in human history coincides with the creation of "larger than a tribe" societies. There's a point in a growing society at which "follow my rules or I'll smash your head in with this rock" fails to work, and while secular rules and laws can work, religion generally has a vastly better track record at creating some sort of orderly rules for societies to follow and actually getting people to follow them.
It's why I always find the whole "science vs religion" debate a bit of a misstatement of the real conflict. It's not really about science versus religion. There aren't a whole lot of religious folks standing around in the design rooms at Boeing insisting on aircraft design dependent on "willful prayer to give us lift" or something. Doesn't happen. Also not a lot of people at Broadcom designing network interfaces that work via distance prayer or something. As a society we don't tend to have an issue confusing which of these things is used for which things in our society. I mean, even when we look at groups like the Amish, they aren't abandoning science at all, but choose to limit their personal exposure to the results. It's not like they abandon Pythagoras when they're building cabinets or anything, right?
The bigger conflict isn't about science, but about secular humanism (or some equivalent) as a replacement for religion as the source of ethics and morality within society. It's why Atheists like Smash really want religion (especially Christianity) eliminated from society. It's not really the somewhat esoteric ideas like "the earth was created in 6 days" that bugs them (cause why? I mean, it's not like that affects anyone's day to day life). It's the "thou shalt not kill/steal" stuff that does. It drives them nuts that so many people ultimately think killing is wrong, not because of some objective rational examination of the act itself, but because "it's a sin". The problem is that this is a hard argument for Atheists to make because quite frankly secular humanism (or any non-religious moral source) have pretty darn poor track records when it comes to creating healthy societies, much less ones with good (or even semi-decent) human rights track records.
Sad fact is that for the most part, if you take "it's a sin" out of the equation historically, you actually end out with a society where all rules are costs, not moral right/wrong questions. Death prices were common in most of western civilization prior to the adoption of Christianity. Rich people got away with things, not because they could hire better lawyers as we often lament today, but because the actual rules of society said that you could pay the cost of any harm you did to someone else and no one could legally dispute it. That's what happens when you have rules that derive from objective analysis of actions. Everything becomes a relative "cost" to everyone else. And if it's a cost, it can be paid.
Societies only develop ideas like "life has inherent value beyond a dollar cost" when they have some kind of religious source for that idea. Which is why Atheists have a hard time attacking religion on purely moral/ethical grounds (their alternative is generally worse). So they attack them because they aren't as good as science at doing what science does best. Um... Duh. But there you have it.

Billions Flushed Down Political Toilet in Afghanistan
Edited/Annotated from D. Froomkin's article at the Huffington Post by FM
05, 2010
WASHINGTON, DC – Shut up, pull up the barn floor, and pour yourselves
another hot cup of Rocket Java, girl friends. While we totally disagree
with most of the crap reported by the national socialists at the Huffington
Post news rag, we are not against reporting their mostly quotes of other
news media's revelations of the massive money laundering in Afghanistan.
So, listen up, girl friends and read the following info from The Wall Street
Journal, New York Times, and WikiLeaks:
The revelation that Afghanistan's vice president was caught carrying $52
million in cash last year in a Persian Gulf tax haven (and was allowed to
keep it) is only the latest bit of evidence that countless billions of U.S.
taxpayer money have been wasted in Afghanistan due to mismanagement, fraud
and endemic corruption.
The latest disclosure comes courtesy of the international whistleblower
website WikiLeaks, which is in the
process of releasing more than a quarter million State Department cables. As
The New York Times reported:
"When Afghanistan's vice president visited the United Arab Emirates last
year, local authorities working with the Drug Enforcement Administration
discovered that he was carrying $52 million in cash. With wry
understatement, a cable from the American Embassy in Kabul called the money
"a significant amount" that the official, Ahmed Zia Massoud, 'was ultimately
allowed to keep without revealing the money's origin or destination.' (Mr.
Massoud denies taking any money out of Afghanistan.)"
Yes, that's "a significant amount" of
money by normal standards. But by Afghan standards, it's actually small
change. The U.S. is spending more than $2 billion a week – that's $104
billion a year -- in a country with a gross domestic product of about $14
billion a year-- and a lot of it isn't going where it's supposed to. Here is
a look at some other examples of the vast waste of U.S. taxpayer money in
The Wall Street Journal
reported in June that more than $3 billion in cash has been openly flown out
of Kabul International Airport in the past three years --
"packed into suitcases, piled onto pallets and
loaded into airplanes." Only so much of that could be drug
money. The bulk, presumably, was skimmed from U.S. aid and logistics
And that's just what people are declaring. The
Journal calculated the $3 billion figure based on Afghan customs
records, noting: "More declared cash flies out
of Kabul each year than the Afghan government collects in tax and customs
revenue nationwide."
The actual amount of money flown out of the country is, of course, higher.
As the Journal noted:
"One courier alone carried $2.3 billion between the
second half of 2008 and the end of 2009, said a senior U.S. official, citing
other documents that are in the possession of investigators."
The New York Times reported in
August 2010:
The flow of capital out of Afghanistan is so large that it makes up a
substantial portion of Afghanistan's gross domestic product. In an
interview, a United Arab Emirates customs official said it received about $1
billion from Afghanistan in 2009. But the American official said the amount
might be closer to $2.5 billion.
So those of you who still think America's troops are running around in Iraq
and Afghanistan to "save" us all from The Terrorists, should re-think their
position. The Terrorists were, and still are, manufactured by both the Bush
and Obama Administration's central bankers whose main goal is to continue
securing and financing their Petro Dollars. The central bankers' secondary
goal is to finance both sides of the War in the Middle East as they "loan"
non-backed pulp fiction dollars to the U.S. Government – some $600 billion a
year plus interest – and at least 35 foreign banks, some of whom route that
hyper-inflated money back around to our so-called "enemies."
The American taxpayer is being duped or simply run over by the Federal
Reserve monetary bulldozer as the bankers pretend to "stimulate" the U.S.
economy by injecting trillions upon trillions of dollars into our National
Debt. The Afghanistan toilet bowl -- into which $104 billion a year is
being thrown down the drain to pay off crooked foreign politicians to
pretend we are fighting a War Against Terrorism-- is just the tip of the
monetary iceberg that Fed Chief Ben Bernanke and President Barrack Obama are
pilfering from us and our children and grandchildren. The only thing
Americans are paying for are the unfortunate deaths of our fine military men
and women who are being forced to sacrifice themselves to subsidize Middle
Eastern politicians buying new shoes, cars, boats, airplanes, and luxurious
lifestyles on some Greek or Caribbean Island. – FM Duck

New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) The Congress Wednesday distanced itself from the controversy over MPs writing to US President Barack Obama on the issue of visa to Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, saying nothing was discussed in the party.
"The issue has not been discussed in any forum of the party, nor of parliament," Congress spokesperson Raj Babbar told reporters who asked him about the MPs' letter to Obama and the British prime minister.
"The nation is bigger than politics," he said.
While Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Sitaram Yechury denied having signed any such letter, BJP MP from Jharkhand's Lohardaga Sudarshan Bhagat complained to Speaker Meira Kumar and demanded an investigation.
"These are serious charges and amount to forgery. I have demanded that the speaker order an impartial inquiry and action be taken against those responsible," he said.
"There is news circulating that I am a signatory to a petition to the US president asking for the denial of US visa for the Gujarat chief minister. I deny having signed any such letter," Yechury said.
Independent Rajya Sabha member Mohammed Adeeb said Tuesday that he has Sunday re-sent a letter written last year by many MPs to the US president.
The letter sought to know if the US government, which in 2002 denied visa to Modi after the communal riots in the state, had changed its policy on the issue.
The earlier letter was sent in 2012, said Adeeb, who added that BJP chief Rajnath Singh's lobbying in the US for a visa to Modi has triggered the issue.

Odds of Dying From Anesthesia Allergy
Alright, so I`m going in for a surgery next Tuesday and I`m paranoid because I`ve heard that there`s a very small chance you can die from allergic reactions. Even if its a small chance its still a chance and I`m just wondering what are the odds of it happening if both parents have had anestesia, 4 grandparents, and 1 sister have all had it without any allergic reaction?
The term allergy is often misused, and applied to almost any reaction to any form of medication. Here I am going to assume you are using the term correctly, meaning "an acquired, abnormal immune response to a substance that can cause a broad range of inflammatory reactions."
I don't mean to alarm you but there are a lot of things that can go wrong in a hospital, a lot of things that can go wrong during an operation, and a lot of things that can go wrong with anesthesia. The good news is allergic reactions to anesthesia are among the least likely things to harm you. The fact that none of your relatives has had that type of problem is reassuring but not a guarantee.
Finally, allergic reactions, if recognised early and treated appropriately almost always have a good outcome.

Monday, FX, 8.30pm
Malcolm McDowell is one of those actors who seems utterly incapable of knocking back any sort of work. So while he has done some legendary stuff (A Clockwork Orange, Caligula) and plenty of fun stuff (Entourage, Metalocalypse), he has also done some unmitigated garbage. Exhibit A is this frat boy fantasy of what it might be like to be a lawyer. Our ostensible heroes are obnoxious young attorneys Jared Franklin (Breckin Meyer) and Peter Bash (Mark-Paul Gosselaar), who spend their days pulling ridiculous courtroom stunts and their nights partying with bikini babes. They're encouraged in this by their ever-so-groovy old boss, Stanton Infeld (McDowell). Tonight, Infeld lets them move in to his spectacular beach house, which has a great big deck from which they can ogle the local lovelies. One of these is an Australian kinesiologist (Nicky Whelan), who gives Bash the brush-off only for him to tell her that she shouldn't reject him until she's seen the size of his deck. Get it? God, it's awful. Anyway, Franklin and Bash are soon up to their usual stunts in the courtroom, only now they have to report to a new boss, played by Heather Locklear. Infeld, for his part, spends most of the episode telling tales of exotic travels in a manner too reminiscent of Seinfeld's Mr Peterman (try sitting through it without checking to see whether there's a Seinfeld repeat on). Everything gets resolved in time for a beachside party with scantily clad hotties. Well, everything but a couple of nagging questions. Why couldn't McDowell just have waited five minutes for a better show to come along? And how on earth did this one just get green-lit for a fourth season?

After seven months of marriage, Carrie Underwood is bidding adieu to her long distance romance.
The country crooner's hockey-playing hubby, Mike Fisher has been traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators, relocating him to the city where Underwood keeps a pad.
The team, which acquired the star center, 30, for a 2011 first round draft pick and a 2012 conditional pick, announced the trade on their Twitter account Thursday.
Fisher had been signed to a $21 million contract extension (running through the 2012-2013 season) weeks after the Senators reached the Stanley Cup final in 2007.
So now that the twosome will be shacking up full time, could little ones be far behind?
Not likely, says Underwood.
"Everybody, like, is on this baby bandwagon, I don't know what the deal is," the Grammy winner, 27, told UsMagazine.com in December. "But I would really like to figure out what it's like to be married first, and I know he would too. Sometimes I know God laughs at your plans, and says, 'Nope," but it's definitely not in ours any time soon. So, no babies."

Vote for me
White House hopefuls hammered home their closing messages today in a frenzied hunt for votes in Iowa, with Democrat Barack Obama promising a new kind of politics and rival Hillary Clinton proclaiming her readiness to lead.
Republican Mitt Romney took more swipes at rival John McCain, Mike Huckabee criticized Romney's attack ads and Rudy Giuliani made a last visit to the midwestern US state five days before it opens the race to pick candidates in the November 2008 election to succeed President George W Bush.
Polls show both the Democratic and Republican races remain close and unpredictable in Iowa, where a strong showing can give candidates valuable momentum going into other state contests starting with New Hampshire just five days later.
Clinton, Obama and John Edwards are in a tight three-way battle among Democrats, with some polls showing Edwards gaining ground. Romney and Huckabee are fighting for the lead among Republicans, but up to one-fifth of the state's voters in both parties could still change their minds, according to polls. In caravans of buses and vans, candidates rolled across Iowa's snowy roads and visited small towns in all corners of the state to plead for support.
Obama, a first-term Illinois senator who has faced charges of inexperience, stuck to his message that he was the candidate best suited to change Washington's way of doing business.
"We can't settle for the same old politics anymore. We need a fundamentally new kind of politics," Obama told the crowd in Burlington, a mixture of young college students and gray-haired men gripping canes.
Obama's camp also kept up its criticism of the influx of big spending into Iowa by outside groups supporting Clinton and Edwards, particularly a group headed by a former Edwards aide.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said in a statement Edwards had "exploited the biggest loophole in the campaign finance system" to benefit from the arrangement while taking public matching funds.
Edwards, who touts his refusal to take money from lobbyists, says he did not coordinate with the group and promised he would ban corporate lobbyists from working in his White House. "We will not replace corporate Republicans with corporate Democrats," he said in Washington, Iowa.
Clinton, a New York senator and former first lady, said in Eldridge, Iowa, there were two questions facing voters in the final days of the state's race.
"Who is ready to be president on day one, to take responsibility for the serious issues that our country faces, and who can run a winning campaign to make sure that the Democrats take back the White House?" she asked.
"I'm very comfortable with Iowans answering those questions and coming out to caucus for me," Clinton said.
Former President Bill Clinton, campaigning for his wife in New Hampshire, said she was best qualified to deal with any unexpected crisis.
"President Bush never talked about Osama bin Laden and didn't foresee Hurricane Katrina. If you're not ready for that, then everything else you want to do can be undermined," he said in Nashua. "I think on this score she's the best of all."
Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, has seen big leads in Iowa and New Hampshire disappear under the recent surges of Huckabee in Iowa and McCain in New Hampshire.
For the second consecutive day he unveiled a television ad criticizing McCain on his support for a failed Senate bill that would have given illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
"McCain championed a bill to let every illegal immigrant stay in America permanently," the ad's narrator says, noting Romney's contrasting get-tough stance on illegal aliens.
McCain, an Arizona senator, took another jab while campaigning in New Hampshire at Romney's shifting views on some topics. "It's hard to respond sometimes because the position he has today may not be the position he has tomorrow," he said.
Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor and target of a Romney ad on Friday, said while campaigning in Osceola that Romney was becoming "dishonest" in his attacks.
"He's dishonest toward me, he's dishonest toward John McCain and it's unfortunate that he's resorted to those kinds of attacks," said Huckabee, a former Baptist minister who has connected strongly with evangelical Christians and surged in recent polls.
Giuliani, New York mayor during the Sept. 11 attacks, has largely bypassed Iowa to focus on later voting states. He made his final visit before Thursday's caucuses and said he would "do fine" in them.
Speaking to supporters at his suburban Des Moines campaign headquarters, he stressed his experience as mayor and mentioned the Sept. 11 attacks five times during a 15-minute speech.

–> Shingles is a viral infection caused by the sensory nerves of the causes of theskin and a painful skin rash. The forshingles medical name is "herpes zoster". That makes the herpes zoster virus is thesame virus that causes chickenpox (varicella). KEYWORDS to search the Internet and other reference sources Dermatology Infectious diseases Virus zoster What is shingles? A person can not develop shingles unless he or she has had chickenpox. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, herpes zoster virus.
While chickenpox is a highly contagious disease, shingles usually not spread from one person to another. However, a person can develop chickenpox in direct contact with the blisters in a person with herpes zoster. After recovering from chickenpox, herpes zoster virus may remain in a part of the nervous system for years without causing any disease. Shingles can be the product as a side effect of another condition, such as Hodgkin's disease (cancer of the lymph system), or treatments that suppress the immune system *.

Treatment for shingles is directed mainly involved in pain reduction. Medications are used to also attack the virus. Wet compresses applied to affected areas can sometimes relieve pain. mild analgesics such as acetaminophen can be used. Who is at risk for shingles? Shingles occur primarily in older people whose immune systems are no longer able to keep the virus dormant in the nervous system. This age group most often develops herpes zoster, shingles can develop at any age, though. After an attack of shingles, a person can be immune for the rest of your life. Most people recover from the illness without any problems.
However, in elderly patients, the pain can last for months or years after the blisters have healed. This is known as post-herpetic neuralgia (post-her-PET-ik noo-RAL-gee-ah). What other diseases can cause herpes zoster? The herpes zoster virus can cause several other diseases: Chickenpox is usually a mild disease that causes a rash and fever. It is very contagious.

The mining industry is railing against the 40 per cent levy on profits proposed by the government, and Mr Smith said the move was a setback.
"Two of the key attributes to attract inward investment are transparency and certainty," Mr Smith said.
"Constantly changing regulation makes investors nervous and makes planning for long-term capital projects extremely difficult. Capital is mobile and it goes where it is welcome."
In a speech yesterday to the Committee for Economic Development of Australia, Mr Smith also urged the government to introduce tax incentives to encourage bank deposits.
A proposal to provide tax concessions for interest earned on deposits was a key recommendation of the Henry Tax Review, but was not taken up by the government.
Banks are pushing for the government to revisit the idea at next week's federal budget and say it would help lift deposits and reduce banks' reliance on international funding markets, which are looking shaky again because of a worsening debt crisis in Europe.
"The danger here is a re-emergence of the paranoia and of faltering confidence in both debt and equity markets," Mr Smith said.
Echoing comments on Tuesday by
The resources sector has tried to combat the government's tax proposal by pointing the finger at the big banks.
The Minerals Council of Australia said on Tuesday that it was banks, not miners, that were making "super profits" – suggesting the financial sector should be the target of the government's revenue grab.
Miners are in the spotlight, but Mr Smith said banks were also in the regulatory cross-hairs because of global moves to impose tougher oversight of the financial sector to prevent a repeat of the credit crisis.
The US and Europe are pushing for international agreement on the reforms, which could include more stringent capital reserve requirements for banks, and the issue is expected to come to a head at the meeting of the Group of 20 nations in July.
"My concern is that we're going to end up with an over-reaction driven by populism in the US and in Europe," Mr Smith said.
"And while . . . the financial crisis was made in the USA, here in Australia and in Asia banks actually put in a strong performance which was due to good strategies, good regulation and, perhaps more importantly, due to good supervision."

Sasolburg - Delegates going to the African National Congress's elective conference in Mangaung must select the best of the best, Free State premier Ace Magashule said on Thursday.
"Choose the best of the best... The tried and tested of the African National Congress," he said in Sasolburg.
Magashule urged delegates at the provincial nomination conference to forget about their province, ethnic group, or tribe when electing national leaders.
"These days we are told to count the number of Zulus in the NEC (national executive committee)... Tribalism is what we fought against for many years. Black in general, African in particular... That is what ANC leadership should reflect."
He urged the delegates to use their conscience when selecting party leaders, and not base their decision on which province the person was from.
Those who would lead the ANC after the party's Mangaung conference should neither be chosen on fame, nor because they were a Cabinet minister.
People who asked to be nominated were the problem, he said.
"If you put someone (in charge) who pleads for leadership you're inviting trouble."
Magashule rejected views that certain ANC structures were confined to nominating only either men or women.
"The ANC Women's League is an integral part of the ANC. The Women's League is not going to give us a list and say 'elect these women'. Before you become a member of the ANC Women's League you have to become a member of the ANC."
On the chances of ANC president Jacob Zuma serving a second term, he said: "I'm very convinced the people of this country love Jacob Zuma. Don't worry about surveys."
Names from the branch nominations were announced just before 10pm. Zuma emerged unopposed during the branch nomination process. - Sapa

Hey guys, did a search but did not find what I was looking for. I have a line on a 1979 ironhead for relatively cheap but remember reading somewhere on here to avoid the 1979 year. Can anyone out there give me some specifics as to why? I even remember seeing someone calling it a bastard year.....
Just that 1979 was a stand alone year. many parts are restricted to fit only that year so can be a pain if you like buying pre-fabbed parts with selection etc. Not that big a deal if the bike runs great and asking price is cheap. Depends on what you want out of the bike and your fab skills really.
A lot of people just don't like the AMF years and say that quality, especially in sportsters, declined exponentially until they switched to the evo style motor. But I haven't heard anything year specific.
'79 was when they switched frames from the old "c block" style frame. it's called the bastard year because it's got a different rear pipe than others, because the location of the rear master cylinder. if you wanted to you could get a sprocket cover from an '80 or '81 and relocate the MC and change the rear exhaust pipe. it's really not a big deal. it also used to be harder to find a bolt on/ weld on hardtail section, but now there's a David Bird hardtail section you can get from lowbrow. so that's not really a factor now either. as far as it being an AMF bike, i have an '80 sportster and i havent had any major problems with mine, just the normal shit that happens with any other harley. if the price is right i'd go for it...
Thanks for the replies! Not much is gonna stay stock on the frame as it will be going to Led sled to be hardtailed. I may just go for it!
i wouldn't hesitate, yea there's some year specific things with 79's but it's no biggie...nothing wrong with AMF's
i almost forgot. they might be right side shift. i can't remember when that stopped. i think it was earlier than 79 when it stopped, but i know someone on here will chime in to verify. right side shift isn't bad, but it's different. i think it adds a bit of coolness to the ironhead. most people can't wrap their skull around it.

Jay-Z stunned his countless fans when he decided to ride the New York City subway to a show back in October. Now video of his curious adventure has been made available online.
According to Starpulse, the rapper took all of the footage shot during his journey through the NYC subway system and transformed it into a free documentary. The entire 24-minute clip has been uploaded to YouTube for everyone to enjoy.
During his journey to the Barclays Center Arena, Jay-Z had an opportunity to chat up an elderly woman who didn't immediately recognize the rapper. Instead of posturing or dropping names, Jay-Z handled the situation with poise and grace.
The woman, who identified herself as Ellen, immediately starts chatting up the musician. When asked what he does for a living, Jay-Z gave her a very simple answer.
"I make music. [I'm] not very famous, you don't know me. I'll get there some day. I'm on my way to a performance in Brooklyn at the new Brooklyn arena," the rapper explained.
"Oh, that's fabulous. And you are going by subway? I'm proud of you," Ellen replied.
It was only after he was asked to repeat his name did the woman realize who she was sitting next to on the New York City subway.
"Oh! You're Jay-Z? I know about Jay-Z," she laughed.
Jay-Z's encounter with Ellen is just a small section of the 24-minute online documentary. Even if you're not a fan of the rapper's music, it's hard to deny the man's charms as he encounters countless fans who seem genuinely surprised to see the man mingling with the masses.
According to JSOnline, the Where' I'm From documentary follows the creation of the Barclays Center in addition to chronicling Jay-Z's preparation for several shows at the arena.
Be sure to check out video of Jay-Z riding the New York City subway below.

The actor uploads a photo of him, Efron and Rogen at the backstage of 'Of Mice and Men' on Instagram, writing, 'Ellen eat your heart out!'
James Franco apparently is trying to best Ellen DeGeneres' all-star selfie at the Oscars. The actor took to Instagram over the weekend to share a photo of him being surrounded by actor friends such as Zac Efron and Seth Rogen among others at the backstage of his play, "Of Mice and Men". Standing in the middle of the group, the 36-year-old star captioned the photo, "SUPER SELFIE!! Ellen eat your heart out! BACKSTAGE OF MICE AND MEN!!!"
In late April, Franco caught people's attention with a photo of him lounging in bed with "Pretty Little Liars" star Keegan Allen. The pair were shirtless in the snap. "BED SELFIE WITH KEEGAN ALLEN!!!!! TIME TO GO NUTS!!!!" he captioned the photo.
In a new interview with E! News, Allen revealed that he was visiting Franco on the backstage of "Of Mice and Men" when they had the idea to take a selfie. "I went to go say hey to him in his dressing room," Allen said at the Race to Erase MS benefit for the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis. "There were a lot of people there and I asked him, 'What's the way to do the best selfie in bed?' and he showed me. And then he climbed in really quickly and he was like, 'Let's blow up Twitter for a second.' "
A few days ago, Franco made headlines after he uploaded a selfie of him with his underwear being pulled down to the point he almost revealed himself. In the photo, Franco who appeared to be sweaty simply wrote, "JUMP ROPE." The photo was later removed.

Contained Places
Southeast Sulawesi (Sultra for short) is a province of Indonesia on the island of Sulawesi, forming the southeastern peninsula of that island, together with a number of large offshore islands such as Buton, Muna, Kabaena and Wawonii, plus smaller islands and islets. The capital of the province is Kendari, on the east coast of the peninsula.
The province has no highway connecting it to the rest of the island, and the primary transportation link is a ferry across the Bone Gulf between Watampone (Bone) in South Sulawesi and the port of Kolaka in Southeast Sulawesi.

Do bouts of bursitis (not due to overuse) often accompany RA?
RA affects the joints first and foremost, and bursitis may secondarily result from altered joint mechanics. We do see olecranon bursitis (elbow area) and knee bursitis in our RA patients, but these are seen in other arthritis (i.e., osteoarthritis) patients also.

THE nine-year-old niece of charity founder Thomas Ball, who died from cancer at the age of 14, will be putting her best foot forward for a charity midnight walk next week.
Tamiah Sumner is taking on the challenge of The Thomas Ball Children's Cancer Fund Midnight "Dream" Walk on Friday, June 27, and is hoping people will show their support by joining her on the stroll or sponsoring her.
And supporters of the charity – whether walking or not – also have the chance to win a bedstead donated by the High Wycombe branch of Dreams in a raffle.
Elaine Ball, chair of the charity and also Tamiah's grandmother, said: "Tamiah has been asking to do the walk for some years now but I thought she was a little too young but now she is nine years old, I finally gave in and said she could have a go at doing it.
"It's going to be a difficult task because Tamiah, like many children these days, is not used to walking very far and even moans about walking to school. Tamiah also had a knee injury that stopped her from doing sports and PE for two years, so it will be very hard for her to keep up the pace this is why I would like the public to get behind her."
The six mile stroll will take volunteers into Prestwood from Great Missenden Memorial Centre and back again.
Although she never knew him, Tamiah is Thomas' niece and attends the same school as her uncle did when he was her age. Thomas died in 2003 from an aggressive childhood cancer, neuroblastoma. Tamiah wants to do her bit to raise awareness of the legacy her uncle Tom left behind, the charity he set up in 1998 with the help of his parents.
The organisation provides free holidays for very sick children in lodges on the Hampshire coast and also a trip to Euro Disney every December.
To take part in the Midnight "Dream" walk, please contact the charity www.thomasball.org.uk To sponsor Tamiah, please visit this link: www.justgiving.com/Tamiahwalksthedream
or text: Tami77 and the amount of either £1,£2,£3,£4, £5 or £10 to 70070.
At the end of the Midnight "Dream" Walk, the Dreams Bedstead raffle will take place. To have a chance of winning this prize, please enter on this link: www.justgiving.com/Dreamsbed

LCN girls soccer looking for league, district titles
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted April 2, 2014
MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Macomb L'Anse Creuse North girls soccer coach Scott Boice said his team is looking to improve on a daily basis.
Boice said that desire to get better comes from how the season has ended for the Crusaders the past two years.
LCN has advanced to two straight district finals, both of which ended with losses. Boice said he and his players were also disappointed in their fifth-place finish in the seven-team Macomb Area Conference White Division. Moving up in the league standings is one of the goals he and his players have discussed early on.
"We have improved from last season," said Boice, whose team sat at 1-0-2, 1-0-0 MAC White at press time. "I am pleased so far with how we're playing as a team on defense. Our offense has been a work in progress, and we are currently spending time on that in practice. We have had opportunities (to score) but have not been able to finish as many as we should have.
"We're running a new formation, and the team is working hard to learn it. If we keep defending well, our offensive opportunities will come."
There should be great continuity with the group, as LCN returns 16 of 21 players. Boice said the team will not rely too heavily on one group this season. He said junior goalkeeper Sydney Zablocki provides stability in net, and so far — a scrimmage and three matches — the team has not allowed a goal.
"So it may seem like we will be depending on (goalkeeping); however, our attack has had a lot of opportunities, and now we need to finish those chances."
Boice said the team must be balanced to be successful. He said LCN must be able to transition from its defense to attack to catch opposing teams off-guard and switch the point of attack to expose open space on the field.
"We believe we'll be able to attack and defend at a high standard once we get (deeper) into the season," Boice said.
Boice is counting on sophomore striker Nicolette Vultaggio, senior midfielder Carson Janssen, sophomore defender Kayla Roodbeen, junior defender Paige Thompson, junior midfielder Ashley Johnson, senior midfielder Tori Koontz and junior midfielder Miranda Oleksiak to contribute.
"Over the past three years, there have been great strides made, with current players improving and an influx of new players to varsity every year," Boice said.
The team will need to keep making those strides if it is going to stay in the race for the MAC White title. Anchor Bay and Fraser have each won two MAC White titles over the past four years. LCN last won the MAC White in 2009.
Boice said coaches within the league are beginning to find ways to make things difficult for the Tars and Ramblers. For a new team to take over in the division, it will have to match Anchor Bay and Fraser's talent, and take away the things each team likes to do on the field.
"The teams in the White have improved, and there are no easy wins for any (team)," Boice said. "The MAC White is the best division in the (33-team) MAC." On March 24, the White Division played four games against the Red Division and went 3-0-1.
"I think we'll be able to compete for the MAC White title. It is so important in girls soccer that the team works together and likes playing for each other. We want to compete for (a division title) and hope to finally finish with a win in a district-title game."
The Crusaders next hit the field for a matchup against Madison Heights Lamphere, set for 7 p.m. April 16 at LCN.

"chuan men" - "Visit the Friend's House"
This is the third time that the Austro Sino Arts Program organizes a contemporary art show in Beijing, the first was "mifan" in 2009, then "dabao" in 2010 with more than 30,000 visitors in a month. In 2011, twenty Austrian artists +5 show their works in China for the first time in the frame of a group show. In this year's exhibition, ASAP is including works of artists from other countries – "+5" – from Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Cambodia, Indonesia, the USA and Australia.
Most of the works in this year's exhibition have been created by the artists during their stay in China and other artists created their works out of local contexts, with history and today's society. These works are studies, drafted in each artist's individual language.
This year's exhibition will offer insights into the works of following 27 artists:
Thomas Weber Carlsen and Jan Krogsgaard will present their videos, Khmer Rouge people speak their minds and feelings; Elisabeth Czihak has captured in her photos the remains of demolished buildings and juxtaposes them to strict geometric drawings inspired by the "endless line" of Chinese windows; Irene Dapunt's large paintings are full of private metaphors and messages; Michael Downs digital collages are strong colorful patterns made with today's tools; Georg Frauenschuh collects and draws his ideas about the unknown and what he will paint, build and understand in the future; Bernhard Gwiggner sequences the Tao doctrine in hundreds of drawings, and translates it into a Western language; Richard Hoeck's materials come straight out of shopping windows, he turns the usual views, the desires of commodity dreams upside down; Barbara Anna Husar enlarges China's mythical creatures of the past in her big paintings on rice bags; Eline Jongsman and Kel O'Neill document the bizarre living remains of past empires; Stephan Koeperl and Sylvia Winkler have chosen pharmacies for their musical stage, they sing and a mobile phone is their instrument; Sylvia Kummer's drawings and writings on leather skins are like traces, rolled, becoming sculptures from an unknown tribe; Roberta Lima's is a CCTV's video, traveling the space of her privacy; Meta House will show the life of women workers in Cambodia in 4 short movies ; Christine Pellikan, inspired by traditional Chinese art techniques, uses in her rolling pictures paper and ink in her own way; Ella Raidel embarked on a research into Chinese soap operas as a sociopolitical space; Tom Schneider will show a short movie decoding his view of the locality; Christian Schwarzwald constructs a wooden wall and enlarges the notion of frame and image; Ulrike Sladek's text and audio work accompany the crystal clear photos of Andrea Witzmann; Maria Tupay Duque's drawings are emotional scores where she translates music and motion; Uebermorgen pick up on virtual craftsmanship being either exploited in prisons or in dark video game caves, building virtual fighting gear for online gamers; Ugo Untoro's - drawings show, the masking and unmasking anima - (animus), similar to the traditional Javanese book of Centhini, which does surprisingly write about human essential desires, beside religious rituals; Heru Agus - large photographs show, like beans maintained there form and function, lasting their (r)evolution from the beginning of the human civilization till now and Helmut Schaefer's, music, sounds, noises which scratching consequently the surface of body and mind, in his past Beijing performances.
