It seems that Hugh Jackman's final movie as Marvel comic book character "Wolverine" has got a lead villain. According to reports, Boyd Holbrook of Netflix's "Narcos" fame has joined Fox's upcoming "Wolverine 3."
As reported by Deadline, Holbrook has joined Jackman and Patrick Stewart and will play the lead villain in the movie. The website has described Holbrook's role as "a relentless, calculating and intense head of security for a global enterprise who is set against Wolverine."
The production of the movie, which will be done in New Orleans and New Mexico, may start from May. The script has been written by David James Kelly. James Mangold, who directed the prequel "The Wolverine," will also direct the next installment, according to Variety.
Several rumours regarding the plot of "Wolverine 3" suggest that the movie will be based on the popular comic book "Old Man Logan." However, none of the official sources has confirmed it.
It has also been rumoured that "Wolverine 3″might get R-rating. The prequel, "The Wolverine" was R-rated for home media after its theatrical release. Hence, there is a possibility that the final film will also get a similar rating.
Cinema Blend has stated that after the success of "Deadpool" early this year, Fox is looking forward to make sure that the next Wolverine movie also receives the same success. "Deadpool" is currently the highest grossing X-Men and R-rated movie of all time. Hence, there is a significant possibility that it will get R-rating.
Jackman will play the titular character of Wolverine a.k.a. Logan for the final time while Stewart will reprise his role of X-Men's founder Professor Charles Xavier in the movie. The synopsis of the movie has not been revealed yet.
"Wolverine" is scheduled to hit the big screens March 3, 2017.

It took me a sec….but I got the joke…....Humor, Ar, Ar, Ar…..
hmm, people are looking over to see what's so funny lol
aww, I shouldn't laugh, but I do
If you can't handle someone at their worst,
You don't deserve them at their best.
I told this to a work-mate, but first turned it into a (literal) shaggy-dog story. Seemed to work better (he slapped himself for a couple of minutes, then asked me to repeat it so he could e-mail it to a load of friends).
The long version: -
A salesman is visiting a town for the first time. On the way to the hotel he asks the cab-driver what there is to do in the town.
The cab-driver thinks a bit before repling, "You could always go to the zoo!"
The man thanks him, checks into his hotel, then goes to look for the zoo. Fortunately it's well signed and a few minutes later he walks up to the entrance and asks for a ticket.
"That'll be $20." says the zoo-keeper.
"Twenty?!" gasps the man, "Is the zoo that good, then?"
"Best zoo in town, sir." the keeper answers.
So the man pays his money and goes inside. The first cage he comes to is completely empty. Well the man is a little peeved, but he just puts it down to the animal being cleaned or something and moves on. Only the second cage is empty too, and the third, and the forth. Soon the man is running past row after row of empty cages, getting more and more frustrated, until he comes to the last cage. Inside is a single, small dog, yapping shrilly.
By now the man has had enough, he storms back to the entrance, bangs on the glass and shouts at the zoo-keeper, "I paid $20 to see some goddamn animals and there's nothing in here but one damn lap-dog! What's the meaning of this?!"
The keeper looks up from his paper and replies, "It's a Shih-Tsu."
Duly forwarded to my Mum who breeds Shih-Tsus. Thanks.
I don't get it!! Could someone explain?????
ohhhhhh. wait. Naever mind. I get it now…

The Netherlands got an early taste of the tournament atmosphere yesterday when they were cheered on by around 25,000 fans at an open training session at the Municipal Stadium Wisla in Krakow.
Most of the vibrant crowd appeared to be made up of local supporters determined not to miss the chance to see Bert van Marwijk's side close up – one of the privileges of living in a city that's playing host to a trio of UEFA EURO 2012 contenders along with Italy and England.
"I think it's very special to be able to see the Netherlands for real for the first time in my life," Pawel Zbik, a local enthusiast dressed in an Oranje shirt, told me. "I have always been a fan of Dutch football and I think the Netherlands are the strongest team in the tournament and play the best football. So it's very nice that they've allowed people from Krakow into the stadium today to see the team at close quarters."
The weather gods also smiled on the event, after a long day of incessant rain on Tuesday. Mild sunshine warmed the stadium and 'Ooohs' and 'Aaahs' regularly emanated from the stands as the players enjoyed a session of finishing practice, with the likes of Arjen Robben, Dirk Kuyt and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar burying some nice goals.
At one point, a Mexican wave even washed over the stands, leaving the Netherlands in little doubt how much UEFA EURO 2012 has captured the imagination of the local population. "We don't train that often in front of so many people, so that's nice," said Van Marwijk. "The advantage is that it makes you realise the tournament is really close to beginning. It was sometimes difficult to coach my players properly because of the noise from the fans, but the crowd was fantastic today."
I'd say that he can probably start getting used to that kind of following, with most of the 25,000 spectators who created a party atmosphere in Krakow surely set to back the Netherlands throughout the tournament.

Speaking to reporters last month aboard Air Force One, President Barack Obama dropped a strong hint about his plans to nominate Solicitor General Elena Kagan to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens. "It used to be that the notion of an activist judge was somebody who ignored the will of Congress, ignored democratic processes, and tried to impose judicial solutions on problems instead of letting the process work itself through politically," Obama said. "What you're now seeing, I think, is a conservative jurisprudence that oftentimes makes the same error."
Although he didn't identify the decision by name, Obama was clearly talking about the Supreme Court's landmark free speech ruling in Citizens United v. F.E.C. (2010), where the Court struck down federal restrictions on the political speech of corporations and unions. According to Obama and other liberal critics, Citizens United represents a naked act of conservative judicial activism, with the Court's right-leaning majority ignoring the will of Congress and legislating their own views from the bench.
So by selecting Kagan—who famously chose to argue Citizens United as her very first appearance before the Supreme Court—Obama sent a clear message about the deferential role he wants the Court to play in future cases. And it didn't take long for the president's supporters to start spreading the word. "In the great battles over progressive regulations that will occupy the court for the next decade," wrote New Republic legal correspondent Jeffrey Rosen, "Kagan will be a compelling advocate for liberal judicial restraint, insisting that congress and the administrative agencies deserve deference, and criticizing conservatives who seek to use the courts to reverse their political defeats." Similarly, Doug Kendall, the founder and president of the liberal Constitutional Accountability Center, declared, "we expect General Kagan's confirmation hearing to highlight the conservative judicial activism of the Roberts Court."
As a political move, this emphasis on judicial restraint makes sense. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—Obama's signature domestic achievement—is likely to come before the Supreme Court in the near future. Naturally, the president would like the Court to rubber stamp his health care plan.
But will Justice Kagan practice the judicial deference that Obama preaches? There's some troubling evidence that suggests she will. For example, during the first round of Supreme Court oral arguments in Citizens United, Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart made the shocking claim that nothing in the First Amendment prevented the government from banning corporate-funded political books. When Kagan appeared before the Court several months later for the second round of arguments, she offered an unconvincing semi-retraction of her deputy's statement. "What we're saying is that there has never been an enforcement action for books," Kagan told the justices. "Nobody has ever suggested—nobody in Congress, nobody in the administrative apparatus has ever suggested that books pose any kind of corruption problem." In other words, trust us. But as Chief Justice John Roberts correctly observed, "we don't put our First Amendment rights in the hands of FEC bureaucrats."
Unfortunately, the Democrats who control the Senate Judiciary Committee aren't likely to worry about that form of pro-government judicial deference. But perhaps they'll pay closer attention to Kagan's views on executive power. In her celebrated 2001 Harvard Law Review article "Presidential Administration," Kagan offered a detailed account of the increase in presidential power that followed the growth of federal regulatory and administrative agencies in the 20th century. As the human rights attorney Scott Horton has observed, Kagan "pays lip service to the limitations on executive authority contained in the Constitution, but she's generally in the thrall of executive power."
That's not something that could be said about Justice John Paul Stevens, who, despite many significant shortcomings, emerged as a forceful opponent of George W. Bush's sweeping claims of "inherent" executive authority. In 2006's Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, for instance, Stevens wrote a powerful majority opinion declaring Bush's use of military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees to be unconstitutional. Yet as the respected legal commentator Stuart Taylor Jr. pointed out this week, "Kagan's record suggests that she probably falls to the right of Stevens—arguably the most liberal current justice—at least on the presidential-power and war-on-terror issues that may be more important than any others that come before the justices in our times."
It's certainly possible that Elena Kagan will put these and other concerns to rest before her confirmation hearings come to a close. But as things stand now, she appears all too willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Play Counter Strike Source
With the arrival of the Source engine, a new and very different Counter-Strike is born, to master the game; it takes dedication and the following steps.
1Play a lot! The game, like the original Counter-Strike, takes time to master. The more often you die, the more often you try to learn from your mistakes.
2Do not focus on using grenades, practice on the rifle and once you master that, everything else. Grenades are last priority as they are easiest to learn.
3Play against bots, the bots range from easy to very hard. If you are capable of holding a positive score, (10 kills, 5 deaths) you should move on to the next difficulty. However, it is not recommended to go against very hard bots, as they seem to know where you are before they see you.
4Go online! Try your skills on other players and see how you do. Don't be discouraged if you die too much, or fail to have more kills than deaths. Remember, practice makes perfect.
5Don't run into an open space without cover.
6To "spray and pray," don't take time aiming, or you will be shot first.
7Don't tolerate hackers, report them to steam.
8Don't try to no scope with the AWP if you don't know how.
9Don't camp (sitting still in a hidden place waiting for enemies to pass by) for a long time; enemies will eventually find you (from the bodies or blood).
10Always check for campers when entering a new area, especially on a map like CS assault.

- Never hold down the fire button for longer than few-second bursts unless you're very close to your opponent. This will greatly improve the accuracy of your shots.
- DM servers (Deathmatch) make great areas to practice too, as there is constant fighting, and it will sharpen your reaction time.
- It's a good idea to look for servers that run AIM maps, you can look this up through the map filter.
- Don't EVER use any bots or third party tools, or you will be banned.
- Don't stand still for a prolonged period of time.
- Don't do stupid things such as "humping" (also known as tea-bagging) your opponent's body, or placing your logo in just the right spot. You will eventually get killed while doing so.

Amazon trumps Apple as US consumers' highest regarded company
In its 14th annual poll, the Harris Poll RQ study found that Apple had been beaten to top spot by online retail giant, Amazon. The survey conducted asks consumers which companies have the best reputations. Joining the two A's were Disney, Google and Johnson & Johnson. Last year, Apple finished top, above Amazon.
That said, it wasn't all bad news for Apple. It did finish first in some categories. In the 'Vision & Leadership' and 'Financial Performance' categories our favorite fruit company came out on top. Amazon, however, was top on the 'Emotional Appeal' and 'Products & Services'. The latter is hard to imagine anyone else winning, with the company offering virtually anything for sale on its online store.
On the whole, the winner is technology in general. As an industry it was the one sector with the best reputation, quite far ahead of its closest rival, Travel and Tourism. Unsurprisingly Tobacco companies, Government, Banking and Financial Services sectors all finished with more voting for them as having a negative reputation.
The full report is available to read at PRNewsWire.

Writing things down in the way a Yorkshireman might say them turns out to be more complicated than one might think
Sir Dr John Burscough (letter, Feb 15) has rightly corrected the "Thee" with "Tha" in the ancient Yorkshire saying. However, the correct format is, "Tha gets owt for nowt". I was born and bred in and around the North Yorkshire moors until recently where this saying is still in daily use.

M1 Carbine mag?

What is the best source for 30rd magazines for the new AO Carbine? Thanks in advance, J2.
October 27, 2012, 05:37 PM
KCI makes 30rd mags, but I've noticed they take a bit of persuasion to fit all the way in to the magwell, at least on my Plainfield...
October 28, 2012, 03:01 PM
The Koreans are supposed to be pretty good right now. I don't know if it matters which vendor (re any specific make). I assume most--if not all--o the new or recent prodution mags not claimed to be GIs are Koreans these days. Try www.keepshooting.com/m1-carbine-30rd-magazine.html or www.cheaperthandirt.com.
Edit: I thought another web address fixed but apparently not.
October 28, 2012, 03:17 PM
One thing to know,if you are going to use 30 rd magazines,it is best to have an M-2 magazine catch.The M-1 catch only engages the 2 lugs on the back face of the mag.I have seen those lugs fail with an M-1 catch,ruining the mag.The M-2 catch has a tab on the starboard side that engages a third lug on the side of the magazine..
It will help safeguard your 30 rd mag investment

I've done calligraphy for over 35 years and thought this would be a nice set to try out for an instruction class. NOT! The cartridges leaked and the nibs were terrible. I told my class to never buy this set. Dick Blick sells quality materials. They need to remove this from their stock as it is below their normal standards.

The instruction book needs more detail. But once you learn how to do calligraphy it is a beautiful product. Buy a book, and you will appreciate this product. It is my favorite set.

use slow and steady writing
By Debbie
For this to work best use slow and steady movement, when the ink stops, shake the pen up and down and the ink will flow again. Not much variation between thick and thin. This company has excellent mechanical pencils but Sheaffer has better calligraphy pens.

you pay for what you get - junk
By jaimes
from Parker, CO
I purchased this set to brush up on my calligraphy. The first barrel of ink I put into the tip, the shaft cracked and ink went everywhere. I used the ink on fine stationary and the ink ran as a result the writing was bad. The ink would stop in mid writing and the only way to get it to start again was to pull the ink barrel out and put it back in.

What can I say about this man. I think the best wrestling match I have ever had and the BEST AND I MEAN IT THE BEST WRESTLER EVER. He is a very strong mate with an awesome muscular body and very skilled. In fact he is more than skilled, you can not have time to react. Technically perfect, he does what he wants, but always respect the opponent. Off the mat, a great guy. Do not miss the opportunity to wrestle him. Hope we meet again soon mate !!!!!
I had a great time wrestling him. Very funny, athletic and nice guy. And even though I humiliated him in wrestling he never gave up lol. Now my favorite on my list of losers ha. Certainly worth your time if you get a chance to take him on.
Un mec gentil, accueillant, mais aussi joueur et très(très) fort. Avec son corps impressionnant, il maîtrise vraiment tout, enfin pas besoin d'ajouter plus.. Bref, on comprend vite pourquoi il est si recommandé !
Pleasure meeting (and beating lol) him. What a genuinely nice guy. Truly worth your time if you get the opportunity to face him
A great and interesting person when he is not kicking ass in the ring. But even when he does, he is still of the nice sort. With some entertaining trash talk that is not to be missed out :)
A very nice, intelligent and funny guy...who I thoroughly enjoyed throwing around and submitting lol. Not to be missed
une belle rencontre: un superbe corps avec une tête bien faite!
ayez les abdos en formes avant de le rencontrer, je n'en dis pas plus ... pour laisser la surprise lors de votre rencontre : mais une chose est sûre, vous ne le regretterez pas.
A genuinely nice guy. I enjoyed throwing him around and adding him to my list of vanquished opponents ha ha. Seriously he's a top class gut. An opportunity not to be missed
Lukecage est un amateur de sports de combat expérimenté, un lutteur chevronné. Il n'a fait qu'une bouchée de moi, sans se forcer... mais c'était vraiment très agréable de lutter contre lui, son hospitalité est à la hauteur de sa gentillesse. Je le recommande vivement.
I had lots of fun with Lukecage, he is amazingly strong and really skilled . I was no match, he just used me like a toy...but because he is also such a nice guy, he makes it become such an unforgettable moment .
A genuinely nice and intelligent guy...who I thoroughly enjoyed beating and adding to my list of losers lol. Had a great time with him
haha, really funny guy :) he is really strong.. too late for you if you are already in his arms...no escape.. was a good time, I really enjoyed meeting him. when the next time? ;)
Un physique imposant a la hauteur de sa gentillesse et de son accueil chaleureux !
Il a , a mon sens, un arsenal de technique qu'il ne m'a pas totalement dévoilés :)
Moment et échanges très sympa sur et hors du tapis, n'hésitez pas a le rencontrer s'il est dans les parages !
One of the strongest guy I have ever met! but also smart, funny, technical and amazingly resistant. A real sportive guy, accomplished into judo and grappling.. Thanks for the great afternoon I look forward to fighting him again!
A genuinely cool, fun and easy going guy. I had a great time wrestling him. He's motivated and never gives up. Certainly not to be missed
Despite his imposing looking photos and confident trash talk he is just a big pussy cat really :) seriously had a fun roll around with this guy who is strong and skilled. Off the mats he is one of the most interesting guys I have met and am looking forward to round two when he comes to London.
We go for another match once we have proper mats, no injuries and I have had some intensive training before :-) First real exposure to New Yorker humour at the same time ... that is also what you have to keep in mind when you read the "meeting and beating" part of his recommendation :-)))
Lutteur tout en muscles ! Il a beaucoup de force et aussi de la technique ce qui en fait un très bon lutteur. Il est aussi très sympa. J'ai passé un très bon moment avec lui, on remet ça avec plaisir !
Veni, vidi, vici. ;) He's a fun guy, nice on and off the matt.
I met him in Lausanne in one of my trips. He is a very nice guy, athletic with strong muscles and a good fight experience. We had hard rounds and good conversations too. I look forward to the next fights when I come back to Lausanne.
Very strong and with a lot of techniques, he does what he wants on a mat...But he adapts to the level of his opponent and is a patient teacher too! Very nice of the mat too, don't miss the opportunity to wrestle him!
We wrestled several times about a decade ago! He is extremely hot, gracious and reliable! We had great competitive matches, talking trash in various languages! Forcing him to submit "en francais" was the high point! :-) We hope to wrestle again in either LA or Paris! Meanwhile, he hopes that he can beat me this time! ;-)
lukecage is a nice and kind man, and above all he's very strong with very high level in martial technic..and he's a good teacher..if you want to improve your level and to take a pleasant moment, it's the right wrestler.
a really nice guy and gracious host. i had a great time meeting him.

Steven Tyler swears live on U.S. breakfast TV
Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith performing live during the 'Today Show' concert series in New York City, New York, November 2, 2012. (Mr. Blue/WENN.COM)
Related Stories
Rocker Steven Tyler turned the airwaves blue on breakfast TV in America on Friday by cursing during a live broadcast of the Today show.
Aerosmith made a rare early morning appearance on the program to promote their upcoming album 'Music from Another Dimension!' with an outdoor performance, but producers got a little more than they bargained for when Tyler appeared to forget the show was being aired live.
Frontman Tyler declared, "Good morning America!" before the program cut to a weather update - which was when he dropped the clanger.
Weatherman Al Roker was giving out the latest climate information to viewers when Tyler was heard off camera telling the waiting crowd, "Thanks for coming out, you crazy f**ks! We love you! New York City!"
Roker completed the forecast before trying to laugh off the incident, quipping, "That's why they haven't done mornings!"

DETROIT - Backs to the wall.
Now or never.
No tomorrow.
The Detroit Red Wings were throwing out every cliché Friday morning at the Joe Louis Arena. Down 3-0 to the San Jose Sharks and facing elimination, the Wings face a must-win or the reality of getting swept.
As they stood, defiant in their dressing room, the Wings maintained they can't afford to look at the big picture. Instead, they're going to focus on trying to get a victory Friday night and then worry about Game 5 Sunday.
"The mindset is: Win one game. Take it to San Jose and go from there," said Detroit veteran Kris Draper. "We're living game-by-game. That's how it is. We know it. It hasn't been done a lot, but it's not impossible. It has been done.
"All you want to do is win one game, create some momentum and see what happens. (Chicago) forced a Game 7. Are we capable of it? Yeah. Why not? Why not us? We just want to win one game, play right and create some momentum. That's all we can control."
The Wings aren't going to make any changes. That means veteran Mike Modano will be a healthy scratch and he may have suited up for his final NHL game.
"We've won four straight before and we have to do it again," said Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg. "We've got to go out, play a solid home game and move on."

Summary: New research may help parents better communicate with their kids to make it easier for them to build solid language skills before starting school.
The clues that parents give toddlers about words can make a big difference in how deep their vocabularies are when they enter school, say researchers at the University of Chicago.
Their paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that by using words to reference objects, parents can greatly improve their toddlers' vocabulary skills.
Preschool vocabulary is a major predictor of school success, said lead author Erica Cartmill, a postdoctoral scholar at UChicago in a university statement. What's more, she says toddlers' vocabularies vary greatly in size by the time they enter school.
Cartmill and her colleagues also explored the quality of non-verbal clues to word meaning during interactions between parents and children learning to speak. For example, they found saying "There goes the zebra" while visiting the zoo helps a toddler learn the word "zebra" faster than saying "Let's go to see the zebra."
Differences in the quality of parents' non-verbal clues to toddlers (what children can see when their parents are talking) explain about 22 percent of the differences in those same toddler's vocabularies when they enter kindergarten, researchers found.
For the study, researchers asked 218 adult participants to guess 50 parents' words from (muted) videos of their interactions with their 14- to 18-month-old children. They discovered differences in how easily individual parents' words could be identified purely from this socio-visual context.
According to the report, the differences correlated with the size of the toddler's vocabulary three years later.
And while previous research has shown that parents with higher income and more education typically talk more to their children and accordingly boost their vocabularies, that advantage didn't show up in the quality research.
"What was surprising in this study was that social economic status did not have an impact on quality. Parents of lower social economic status were just as likely to provide high-quality experiences for their children as were parents of higher status," said co-author Susan Goldin-Meadow, the Beardsley Ruml Distinguished Service Professor in Psychology at UChicago.
Although there were no differences in the quality of the interactions based on parents' backgrounds, the team did find significant individual differences among the parents studied. Some parents provided non-verbal clues about words only 5 percent of the time, while others provided clues 38 percent of the time, the study found.
The study also found that the number of words parents used was not related to the quality of the verbal exchanges.
Researchers added that parents who talk more are, by definition, offering their children more words, and the more words a child hears, the more likely it will be for that child to hear a particular word in a high-quality learning situation.

Sunday night may have been the longest of Anne Hathaway's career, and I am including any future gigs in that statement. It was, as E! said, THAT bad. But were her clothes? Reportedly Rachel Zoe was charging a fortune to handle the styling, and judging by the fact that most of the gowns were custom-made, she probably earned it — she really should name this kid Oscar, since this show basically bankrolled her maternity leave. Put on your judgment pants and take a tour through Exhibits A through H of Hathaway's eight costume changes, and then decide whether you think Rachel did right by her client.
And, also, whether ANYONE did right by Anne, by allowing her to participate in this epic shitshow. I mean, it reduced her to being a Woo Girl. Did you notice that? Every time she introduced anyone, five seconds later, the exact same epic "WOOOOOOO!" emanated from Anne's half of the stage. I half expected the camera to cut to her doing body shots off Hugh Jackman, before trying to roll up Giuliana Rancic and smoke her.

Carol Cincinello was out with her two dogs when she saw the silhouette.
She hadn't even noticed the coyote, the Wheaton resident said. That's when she heard her 7-pound Maltese named Daisy yelp, and it was gone.
The November coyote attack on Cincinello's dog was the first of three over two weeks in Wheaton, local officials said.

At Hinman, Howard & Kattell, we are not just attorneys, we are also deeply committed to community service, including serving on the boards of several non-profits, charities and foundations. We also are legal counsel to numerous not-for-profit organizations. It is that commitment that led us to create our Not-for-Profit Corporations and Foundations practice group.
Our, non-profit attorneys are experienced in formation of charities and foundations under federal and state law. We handle filing certificates of incorporation, filing tax-exempt applications to the Internal Revenue Service, secure letters of determination, and we respond to inquiries involving non-profits. Such non-profit entities include: Section 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, 501(c)(6) trade associations, 501(c)(7) social clubs and other exempt organizations. We also handle compliance with the New York Charities Bureau, a department of the New York Attorney General's office. We draft governing documents and by-laws for such organizations, and provide advice on the best structure for the organization. Because we have a large number of non-profit clients of all sizes, we know what works and what does not, and we use that experience to the benefit of our clients.
We recognize that non-profits face unique legal issues in government oversight, internal governance, and employee relations. We regularly review handbooks and policies and procedures manuals to ensure compliance with best practices, including measures to avoid claims of self-dealing. We provide advice on employee and executive compensation, including health and welfare benefits and retirement plans. We also assist in resolving disputes with employees, executives and directors. We negotiate, draft, and review contracts for services and goods. Where applicable, we also provide advice regarding the management of the relationship between the non-profit entity and related organizations. Where necessary, we provide representation in litigation, mediation, and agency proceedings in a sensitive and effective manner.
In addition to representing non-profits, we also advise those seeking to make major donations to them. In conjunction with our Trusts, Estates and Wealth Planning and Elder Law attorneys, we assist clients in creating charitable gifts of all types that will minimize our clients' tax burdens while also benefiting the community at large.

Samsung SGH-T309 / T319
Info Photos Reviews 43 News Forum
T-Mobile up on technology?? In what way
I am a T-Mobile customer for a total of 3 years. I have been telling myself that one day, T-Mobile is going to come out with newer phones that will blow Verizon out of the water. I have been kidding myself on this. Where is the blue tooth? Where is the streaming video? Where is the technology? I have lost faith in this. T-Mobiles service is great, just wish they would come out with some OUTSTANDING phones, not a repeat of a phone with new features.
they will i know it seems stupid that they came out with this phone, but wait until the samsung T809 comes out...
What is going to be.... a v205 repeat w/ a couple new features... or is it going to the same thing as the E715... Sorry I can not see samsung coming up with new designs for their phones... lol at least LG can comes up orginalality
I dont' know what you are talking about... T-Mo was the first company in the US to sale phones with BT, VID CAM, and Symbian... The Nokia 3650/3660. That was what, 2 years ago. T-Mo until now always had he best phones. Right now they are the budget company. If you want a good phone buy something unlocked, or wait for the Nokia E 70... T-Mo is just waiting on the the QUAD BAND version.
that is the point... i dont want to have to buy an unlocked phone to have a phone that is good... good is not want i am worried about.... what i am saying is that they do not have originalality with in there phones... look at samsung, nokia, and motorola line up on phones.... they are basically the same thing as what they previously made... just a couple new features... wwwwwooooppppyyy do da day....
Yes, the T309 isn't very exciting... not much different than the E335. ...or E315 or E715, for that matter...
But Dibe11 is right - the T809 is a genuinely hot new phone. It's a feature-packed phone in an ulktra-thin slide design. Check it out:

I meant "ultra"...
OK so we have a E715, a Pocket PC, and the Razr all put into one.... nothing special that I can see at this point... it maybe something interesting but still where is the orginalality with in T-Mobile or more say in Samsung... I guess my real gripe is with Samsung phones (or all phones in general) for T-Mobile.

When solutions to global warming cut into profits of Big Business ("Climate Change in Hawaii: It's Here," Jan. 2)–it'll never happen. Jesse Souki OSP says, "We have a pretty good idea of what the problem is . . . The hard part is figuring out what to do about it." NO, the hard part is figuring out how corporations can MAKE MONEY on eliminating greenhouse gas emissions. Look at the installation of electric car recharging stations–a global corp. MADE MONEY from us by installing them. Photo-voltaic companies MAKE MONEY. Raising GMO corn and using it for biofuel MAKES MONEY. Our law makers defend those businesses that would by hurt by reducing CO2 emissions or any other law, in the name of "economic growth." THAT'S the problem.

Local heroes have become hackneyed in today's society. But one of the few people deserving of being called a hero (or heroine in this case) is Annette Strauss. She was one of those people who would fight for equality. She was a woman to be admired because she never let her gender or religion hold her back from reaching her full potential. She was a champion who used her gifts and talents in a remarkably selfless way.
Annette Greenfield was born in Houston, Texas, where she grew up during the Great Depression. The only child of Jacob Greenfield, an insurance executive who lost his fortune in the Depression, she learned to be frugal and to work diligently to have a decent living. Despite the financial difficulties she experienced, she was heavily influenced by her father's unending generosity. He taught her to be generous and give whatever she had, no matter how small or insignificant it seemed.
Throughout high school she was actively involved in public speaking, becoming the first female to win two consecutive speech championships. She later said that she found this focus to be very beneficial, as it allowed her to think quickly and rationally, and present her ideas in an organized and clear way; a trait essential to a politician.
After high school, she began her college career at Rice University in Houston before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin in 1944 for her bachelor's degree. She then attended Columbia University in New York City where she received master's degrees in sociology and psychology. Her academic work earned her membership in the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa honors society, but she excelled in areas outside the classroom as well. At Columbia, she was a fashion model working for the John Robert Powers agency. During her time at UT Austin, she became a Bluebonnet Belle, an award given based on beauty, poise, campus participation, and personality.
After her studies, she moved back to Houston where she worked as a Red Cross for a year. She then married her husband (whom she met at the University of Texas at Austin), Ted Strauss, the senior managing director of Bear Stearns. Once married, she became the famous Annette Strauss who would make great impacts in all of Texas, especially Dallas. A year later, the couple moved to Dallas where she resided the rest of her life.
After Annette and Ted's move to Dallas, Annette dedicated herself to volunteer work. She served on the boards of numerous organizations, including those involved in education, arts, healthcare, and social services, later earning her the reference as a "driven Dallas woman". She was heavily involved in work for the Jewish community as well as the rest of Dallas. Annette changed the way fundraising was seen, as she raised over $20 million for campaigns and projects she was passionate about. Originally working on behalf of the Dallas Symphony, she later expanded her scope to include the Crystal Charity Ball, Southern Methodist University, the United Way, United Jewish Appeal, the Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Baylor University Medical Center, and dozens of other groups. By the 1970's Annette Straus was the volunteer. She chaired every major ball in Dallas, won nearly every volunteer or community service award, succeeded in raising millions of dollars for the arts. She was the it-girl of her time, not because of her outward appearance (although she was a looker) but because of all the time and effort she put into making the community a better place. If anyone needed help with organizing a ball, a community service event, or anything along those lines, Annette was the person to call.
After dominating the community service and volunteer field, she moved on to more public endeavors, including the Motion Picture Classification Board (which determines the rating of movies), Planned Parenthood, the Dallas Municipal Library Board, and the Dallas Parks and Recreation Board. With her outstanding reputation in volunteer work and work around the community, she was given a three-day-a week position with the public relations firm of Glenn, Bozell & Jacobs. Once again, proving her to be an incredible woman, she quickly moved up and became the vice president of public affairs. Never abandoning her community service work, Annette used her new position to work on behalf of her charity projects. It is estimated that she raised more than $9 million for these different charities.
With connections in all the right places—and not in a shady or negative way—Annette began to make her way into the politics. At the time, population growth and demographic shifts were posing new problems for the booming city, and in 1983 she became a member of the Dallas City Council. While on the council, Annette created an endowment for minority groups and emerging artists. She also helped small businesses get a start and fought for the creation of homeless shelters with rehabilitation and drug treatment. Further advancing in the political arena, Annette became deputy mayor pro tem and later the mayor pro tem.
In 1987, she stepped up and ran for mayor. Her election was novel because she was Jewish, a female, and most surprising in Texas, a democrat. Winning with 56 percent of the vote, she became the first female and first Jewish mayor of Dallas, Texas. Annette was a brilliant persuader, often pushing business leaders to put their personal best interests second while putting Dallas' best interests first.
While she was mayor, she helped Dallas recover from a time of severe economic downturn. One of her most innovative and supportive projects was Family Gateway, a refuge for the families living on the streets. The organization is not only focused on providing a home for the homeless, but it works with families to help them move out of the vicious cycle of poverty and crime. This is one of Annette Strauss's greatest accomplishments, focusing on homeless families and helping over 8,300 children and their parents since their establishment in 1986. After her death, Family gateway was rededicated as the Annette G. Strauss Family Gateway Center in 2000. It continues to operate today and helps homeless families have better opportunities and teach them how to be independent.
While she was mayor, she also faced racially divisive issues. In 1987, when a hearing was held on police shootings of civilians with five police officers killed. The Federal Bureau of Investigation even had to investigate the case and released reports calling Dallas strongly segregated and racially divided. Through her patience and understanding, she was able to create a more cohesive and cooperative group in the City Council and, in turn, create an atmosphere of racial unity throughout Dallas.
In 1991, Annette stepped down from her mayoral position to work as a public relations consultant at Levenson, Levenson & Hill of Irving. She was soon appointed Ambassador-at-Large of Dallas, a role which called on her to strengthen relationships between Dallas' many private and public partners around the world.
Despite her retreat from political life, Annette Strauss was far from finishing her work to improve the city. She was a trustee for a number of foundations and a board member for organizations including the Children's Medical Center Foundation, Dallas Methodist Hospitals Foundation, Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, the March of Dimes, Very Special Arts, Women's Research and Education Institute, St. Paul Hospital Foundation, Timberlawn Foundation, and Texas Historical Foundation. In addition, Annette Strauss continued to fight for and represent organizations she had doled special attention to and those she had supported as her time as mayor. Additionally, in 1996, she was awarded the first Annette G. Strauss Humanitarian Award from Family Gateway which is an award given annually to recognize volunteers who go above and beyond their obligations.
That was one of countless awards Annette received throughout her life. In addition to the many accolades, the Annette Strauss Dallas International Series was established in 1998 at the Southern Methodist University Tower Center for Political Studies. She became part of the Texas Women's Hall of Fame and received the distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Texas at Austin. The most lasting award is an annual humanitarian award named in her honor.
On December 14, 1998, Annette Strauss passed away from brain cancer five months after surgery. After her death, the University of Texas at Austin created the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Participation to honor this incredible woman. The institute is designed to sustain civic participation as well as educate the community about the different groups of people and enhance democratic understanding across society. The institute incorporates and researches new technologies and different forms of communication to increase civic participation and political understanding.
And thanks to her decades-long support of the performing arts in Dallas, the city named part of its blossoming arts district for Strauss. Today, Annette Strauss Square is located at the AT&T Performing Arts Center, which hosts the most outdoor events including concerts, theatrical performances, dance performances, and multi-day festivals.
While Annette Strauss was devoted to her Jewish heritage and religion, she reached out to everyone and helped all people. She defied the status quo by becoming the first female and Jewish mayor of Dallas, showing that anyone can be anything they want. She left a great legacy on the city of Dallas, being called an "anchor of love" and "a guardian angel." Annette still influences large numbers of people today with her lasting legacies, truly making her a local hero.

What inspired the essay: The topic was looking at a local hero and their impacts on the community. I wanted to find someone who was not only made a lasting legacy in the community, but I also wanted to find a woman who was able to show herself to be strong in the face of adversity, especially during a time when the men were dominating.
What surprised you: I never knew that there was so much in the city that could be attributed to Annette Strauss. I never realized that there have been so many people who have worked to better the community and because of them I can enjoy the standard of living of today. It has piqued my curiosity at seeing what others have done and what I can do myself for the community.
What you learned: Great people don't necessarily have to come from great places. Great people don't necessarily know that they are going to be great. However, perseverance, hope for a better future, and compassion are all the ingredients to turn someone who is ordinary to someone who is great, no matter if they are recognized or not.

AEROSMITH guitarist Joe Perry's autobiography, "Rocks: My Life In And Out Of Aerosmith", on October 5, 2014 via Simon & Schuster. Perry is working with author David Ritz, who has written books with B.B. King, Jerry Wexler and Bettye LaVette."It's going to be my story, but it's also entwined with AEROSMITH and relationships there and the how and the why of that kind of stuff," Perry said last year. "People have been asking me about it for the last probably five or 10 years… I'll definitely take a different path than the other guys, the way they put their books together. I read probably 40 biographies and autobiographies, musical ones. I can see how some worked and some didn't. I hope this one works. There's a lot to fit into 600 pages or whatever it's gonna be. I'm pretty excited." AEROSMITH singer Steven Tyler's "Does The Noise In My Head Bother You?" autobiography was issued in 2011, while the band's drummer, Joey Kramer, had his own tale, "Hit Hard: A Story Of Hitting Rock Bottom At The Top", published in 2009. AEROSMITH bassist Tom Hamilton is also working on a book. AEROSMITH's new album, "Music From Another Dimension!", arrived in November 2012 via Columbia Records. The CD was helmed by producer Jack Douglas, who previously worked with AEROSMITH on classic early albums like "Toys In The Attic" and "Rocks" as well as on 2004's "Honkin' On Bobo".

Went here for a pre-Valentine's meal on Saturday night. Non-food related: the valet situation is a total nightmare - extremely disorganized and inefficient. The hostesses quietly walk through the insane bar area saying your name when your table is ready and you literally have to chase them down screaming, "That's ME!" so they can hear you.
We were seated 15 minutes after our 8:30 p.m. reservation, not a huge deal, but if you are someone who is a stickler for that, should be noted. Immediately we were flanked by two people, one getting us water, the other bringing three pieces of bread and clearing the two other plates away. Then we sat.
And sat.
For 20 minutes. We had finished our drinks at the bar and I know I looked cranky without a fresh one. There was a manager walking around checking on people and did not even look at us, whilst servers were checking on the tables 2x in the 20 minute span. Finally a server arrived and said, "Thanks for your patience! Sorry 'bout that!"
The rest of the meal went by smoother...I should probably talk about food. The bread was plain old, cold bread. Nothing special there. We ordered the tuna tartare, and while my husband thought it was amazing (but you literally could pluck a tuna out of the ocean and give him a fork and he'd be happy), I felt it was the lamest tartare I've had in...ever. Chunks of tuna and avocado in literally what appeared to be just mayo served with dry six small pieces of dry pita. There was almost an equal amount of tuna to avocado which while I appreciate the attempt to make it like a tuna/avocado roll, I ordered TUNA tartare, not an avocado.
My husband ordered the special - a 1lb dry aged Kansas City sirloin au poivre and I ordered the Oscar Style Filet Mignon. His steak was cooked perfectly rare (as we say, "as rare as legally possible") as was mine. The only issue I had with mine was the size...I'm not saying I needed a yabba dabba dooo steak, but I was expecting a bit more than the three 1/2 inch slices of filet I received (there was about a one-inch piece hidden underneath the three, so say three and 1/8 slices) and about a tablespoon and a half of crab meat on top. All of that with four spears of asparagus for $37.00...that's a little steep...
At some point during the meal, our server said, "Oh, dessert's on us, guys" which is a nice gesture, but I could care less about dessert (we did share a brownie sundae though because COME ON, it's Valentine's Day. It was a typical brownie sundae.)
The wine selection was very good, we have varying wine tastes and couldn't agree on a bottle so ordered by the glass - had the Klinker Brick Zinfandel (this part annoyed me, and I know I sound wine snobbish, but this was ridiculous, "Red or white Zin?" - server "uh...Zinfandel is red..." - me. Not to mention WZ isn't even on their wine list.)
So, $180 later, had an alright meal. And the manager didn't even say bye to us (we passed her as we were leaving). You can make me a burger on a paper plate and a pint of Miller Lite in a plastic cup and I will be happy as long as I'm treated with a little courtesy - their cavalier attitude towards customer service was really off-putting.

England's premier psychedelic black metal act, A Forest of Stars, have released their third album, "A Shadowplay For Yesterdays", to once again astound a captive audience with their ability to move seamlessly through a mix of multiple genres, while maintaining a black metal base. A Forest of Stars starts of the album with a nod to Roger Waters era Pink Floyd and even hints of The Thirteenth Floor Elevators, almost tricking the listener into thinking that A Forest of Stars has left the black metal influence behind. As soon as the next, and subsequent tracks, begin to play, it's a different story.
As the album builds up, you are introduced to a band playing melancholy black metal, replete with trem picking and incredibly fast drumming in the vein of Fenriz. The male vocalist screams away, coming across like a black metal version of Roky Erickson. The male vocals also switch back to the psychedelic rock sound at times, especially during sections that duel with standard female vocals. The female vocals and clean male vocals, together, sound slightly forced at times. But overall the vocal presentation is stellar. Subtle instrumentation is introduced: piano, flute, violin, other orchestrations; all which add a extra dimension of brooding sadness to the music. The core of the band, being guitars, bass and drums, retain their black metal base, while slowing down a bit at times almost into Stabat Mater styled black slowness, and the traditional instruments shine through, giving certain sections a psychedelic rock or doom feel to them, while retaining that black metal core.
There are quite a few lengthy tracks here, but compared to their earlier releases, A Forest of Stars has considerably shortened their songs for this album. That being said, the shorter songs allow for more dynamic between individual tracks. From the electronic infused, psychedelic post rock styling of "Man's Laughter" to the black doom laden sound of "A Prophet For a Pound of Flesh", there are more stylistic changes from track to track than before. Always retaining the black metal base, A Forest of Stars manages to keep their musical tapestry sounding like a cohesive album. The only qualm here is that single tracks do not stand out as stellar. This album just has to be listened to in it's entirety, otherwise the album loses its woven appeal and you're left with just a couple psychedelic black metal tracks. Each song loses something when not played right after it's predecessor, as if A Forest of Stars demands your attention for the full sixty-eight minute playing time.
Every time I listen to "A Shadowplay For Yesterdays", I feel myself drifting off into a trance-like state because of the hypnotic rhythms of the black metal sections interspersed with gentle, brooding traditional instrumentation. A Forest of Stars successfully removes me to another place as they sonically weave their tapestry. The swirling, chaotic black metal sounds even more raw after a piano interlude. The psychedelic moments come across as even more trippy after the trem picked blasting subsides.
This is a really good album by, probably, the best act playing this style at this time. Another cohesive black metal tapestry utilizing threads of psychedelic rock and doom metal to hold it together. This is an enjoyable listen, but the tracks don't hold their own when listened on their own. As a whole, it is incredible, trance-inducing psychedelic black metal, that utilizes moments of brooding sorrow and swirling intensity to keep the listener glued to the speakers. I will keep an eye on A Forest of Stars because, if "A Shadowplay For Yesterdays" is any indication, this band has the right elements to drop a bomb on the growing psychedelic black metal genre.

And in Baseball Heaven, we have certain codes of conduct, strictly enforced, though all the players pretty much abide by them. The codes of conduct include bad haircuts and weird beards. For example, have you noticed the Rays' dugout? Like a gang of car thieves. You can't go purely by appearances, sure, but how else are we supposed to judge strangers? And they don't get much stranger than the Rays . . .The thing is, I agree that most of the stuff the guy describes would be wonderful. When you put it all together in a nostalgia-dripping column like that, however, you simply come off like a crotchety old coot. It's a column that can only be written as a result of its author staring at the television for Game 3 or 4, and hating what he was seeing.
. . . In Baseball Heaven, hot dogs are a buck and peanuts (double-baggers) 50 cents. kids who show up at the gate with straight A's on their report cards get in free. They can bring their dogs . . . In Baseball Heaven, the wind is always blowing out yet there's a no-hitter going into the sixth. Drysdale is on the mound and Mays is in center. Clemente is in right, of course, hands on his knees, daring the ball to come to him. In the outfield, there's a sign that reads: "Hit this spot, win a suit."
I said earlier that I think this has been a pretty bad World Series. And it has in some ways. But it isn't so bad that people should feel the need to escape to fantasyland and revel in a baseball that probably never was.

Really good stuff especially with ferrets with insulinoma. Always good to have in your emergency box.
Recommended by my vet for my ferret to check food allergy. It's a strange consistency (a sticky kind of mousse) but if I mash it with a little water it works best for my animal. Stops him trying to 'hide' it as ferrets do.
A real life saver at a good price. I use this when I have unwell ferrets. It is an amazing support food that they all absolutely love. It can really save lives if a ferret is seriously ill and is also great for helping them put on extra weight. As it's a powder you can mix it to different consistencies depending on what they like or their particular needs. If you are struggling to keep them hydrated adding a small amount to warm water to make it very thin will encourage them to drink more or if you are struggling to get them to transition back to real food you can make it a thicker consistency and/or mix it in with their normal food. A real first aid kit essential.
Had to use this on a pregnant cat that stopped eating and now giving it as a top up to a lad with IBS. Don't know how I managed without it.
This is a powder that you mix with water to make a nutritional support meal, whilst made for cats and dogs, it works very well for ferrets and is used across the UK by many ferret rescues and owners to help feed poorly ferrets as it can be made up thinner than the packet advises to produce an easy to syringe or spoon feed liquid soup that can really help keep a sick ferret going.

The Effect Of Food Stamps On Spending For Grocery Products
We constructed demographic profiles of each market area by aggregating circa-1990 county US census data. We constructed a measure for market level food stamp benefits using 1990 county-level food stamp benefit data supplied by the USDA. This is the key explanatory variable in regressions in which sales of many specific foods and food aggregates are regressed on food stamp benefits and a large number of demographics, including a measure of poverty. The percent of grocery sales accounted for by food stamps ranged from less than two in the Boston area to more than ten in Shreveport. The primary interest is to evaluate the extent to which differences in food stamp usage across market areas alters the relative sales of grocery products. Because food stamps are a food-specific increase in income, we might expect a shift into more desirable, income-elastic grocery categories, perhaps more nutritious ones. We examine major food categories and find effects in the expected direction, in some cases significant. Focusing on nutrition, we examine sales of particular cereal brands, for which we have detailed sales and nutrition content data. No strong impacts are found. The second interest is the food buying habits of low income buyers in general and food stamp users in particular. It is commonly felt that low income households are necessarily more adroit food shoppers and will tend to buy more economical versions of their choices. However, there is little evidence of this. Indeed, it has been repeatedly found that low income buyers are less likely to substitute private labels goods for their branded counterparts. We study the role of food stamp and poverty in differences across markets on private label share of 71 grocery categories. A recent study by Gundersen and Oliveira might suggest that food stamp users are more likely to watch the food budget than are low income nonusers, suggesting different effects. Essentially this is what is found, for the ceteris paribus impact of poverty is to reduce sales of private label products, but if anything those using food stamps tend to buy them.

PALM BEACH, Fla., May 15 (UPI) -- An attorney for polo mogul John Goodman said he asked a Palm Beach judge to remove his client's ankle monitor and release him from house arrest.
Goodman was convicted in the 2010 death of 23-year-old Scott Wilson, who died after Goodman drunkenly crashed his Bentley into Wilson's car.
Earlier this month, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Colbath vacated Goodman's conviction and 16-year-prison sentence after Goodman's legal team discovered one of the jurors failed to disclose his ex-wife's DUI arrest, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.
Goodman's next court date is June 3, and attorneys may discuss the start of a new trial or a possible plea deal.
Attorney Doug Duncan submitted the motion seeking the bail change Tuesday.
"This right to pretrial release is based upon the fact that an accused is presumed innocent, and may not be punished until he has been lawfully convicted," Duncan wrote.
The pretrial bail conditions would include $100,000 bail, freedom to travel anywhere in the U.S. with prior notice, random drug testing, no driving and reporting to the court system by telephone once a week.
Former lead prosecutor on the case, Ellen Roberts, said the bail change is not a good idea.
"He has greater reasons to flee now," said Roberts, who retired after the Goodman trial. "I wouldn't let him out."

Syrian Warplanes and Artillery pound Aleppo! Israeli officials ready for possible attack!!
Rebel commander says shelling of Salaheddin district in country's largest city is "the most violent" since July 20.
The growing involvement of al-Qaida operatives is evident in fighting against Assad forces, some of whom are fully cooperating with the rebels' Free Syrian Army.
Forty-eight Iranian pilgrims were kidnapped from a bus in the Syrian capital, the Iranian embassy consular chief in Damascus told Iran's state television.
Syria has reached an agreement to send its crude oil to Russia in return for shipments of refined oil products, Syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs said Friday.
For the people of Aleppo, their only hope is Syria's security forces restoring order. In the pockets of Syria's largest city the so-called "Free Syrian Army" (FSA) has dug into, a campaign of systematic detention, torture, and mass murder has been carried out against "enemies of the revolution." Demonized as either "Shabiha" or "government supporters," men have been rounded up, lined up against walls, and gunned down en mass.

Your husband betrayed all of you. Your son's feelings of betrayal and anger are every bit as valid as everyone else's. If your husband hasn't made an effort to be remorseful and address it in a way that helps your son, he frankly had that comment coming.
That's one thing that just isn't negotiable: respect is earned. If you act like a jerk, people will respond to that. I think it was brave and healthy that your son was able to communicate his anger and sadness in a principled manner. He could have acted out, he could have been self-harming. Instead, he was direct (which apparently your husband still hasn't been brave enough to be with the sulking and not talking to you when you were distraught) and addressed the truth of what was going on.
Reality is hitting your husband? I HOPE SO.
No coddling the guy who stood silently and let you sob. No giving him credit for patriarchal street cred (Dad must be respected and obeyed, etc)that he didn't earn in that situation: he threw a tantrum, sulked, then didn't offer anything to address directly what he did.
This isn't un-fixable, but holy hell, don't blame the 13 yr old for communicating when the father chose not to.
I have a 13 yr son, too. Really hard age under ideal conditions. Your husband chose the situation; your son didn't.
My heart is broken for you thinking of you sobbing and him standing there silent. Hugs, Broken. I'm so sorry.
