Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
I live in Florida, and have been a customer of Rent King on and off for about 10 year. Nearly 2 years ago we went back to them to get a couch, washer/dryer, game system and a game. We have paid off both the game and the game system. We ran into a hard time and could no longer pay for the couch and washer/dryer. I am sure that we have already paid triple the amount. They have "refinanced" the merchandise a few times. I recently found out from a former employee that they did not really refinance, but started the contacts over. We finally decided to just get used furniture and give them their stuff. They came out to pick up, they got the washer/dryer, couch and rug set, but also took the game. They had been calling me mulitiple times a day for months, then getting really mean when I called back, saying that I need to answer my phone (I do have a job.) Could I possible have some kind of case here? Who would I call? Did I just screw up by going through a rental place?

Vectors: Connections and Interventions
In a recent archival project entitled Then, now, Gendai tracked the trajectories of its endeavours over the past 10 years. Then, now, examined the principals that shaped the identity of Gendai today: a non-profit, community based public art gallery that is "programmatically" oriented towards contemporary art production by East Asian artists in Canada and globally. Hence Gendai embraces the status of being peripheral. Out of this self-reflection a question emerges: How do we maximize the potential of the peripheral both as a thematic and as a mode of operation?
What if the identity of Gendai is not limited to the conventional parameters that define cultural institutions? What if there are other lines of inquiry and ways of organizing that can mobilize Gendai into a fluid network of potentials and opportunities? We understand these lines of flight that extend beyond the architectural and programmatic confines of a public gallery do not exist in advance. They have to be forged.
Vectors: Connections and Interventions is a new programming initiative. The heart of this initiative is an open archive that consists of three categories: video art, artist book/catalogue and artist-initiated projects by East Asian artists and artists of East Asian heritage. These materials are collected through in-house research and recommendation by other leaders in the field. Using the materials in the archive, Gendai intends to build networks and connections with other institutions and groups. Its methodology will not be limited to the conventional exhibition alone but will include dialogues, discussions, lectures, screening and exchanges, depending on the contexts. The format of the exploration can be a combination of screening and lecture but not limited to them. Gendai is primarily interested in exploring new, empowering strategies with its partners. It is a process of trust and creation.
Vectors is essentially an itinerant operation that seeks to construct creative and empowering strategies, situations and trajectories through the materials in the archive. While the implementation of Vectors is not pinned to fixed locations, Gendai will allocate a certain portion of its physical gallery space to display the materials in the archive. Towards this end, Gendai will commission Montreal artist Alexandre David to design and construct a mobile display, storage and seating unit. This unit can be also shipped with the materials to different destinations. At each stop, a precise action and a situation is enacted through connecting with the historical, socio-political and artistic of the local contexts. The mobile unit with its distinct architectural form can help to facilitate and "shape" this process.
Vectors: Connections and Interventions is conceived and organized by Gendai in collaboration with guest member Yam Lau. It signals Gendai's new approach to reinvent its infrastructure in order to cultivate alternative forms of creation and modes of organizing.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Unbound, Kansas City, KS, USA
What a beautiful charity. I sponsor an elderly woman in Nicaragua through CFCA. $30 a month goes towards caring for her medical, food, housing and social needs. I met Juliana last July on a Mission Awareness Trip. I was able to see first hand where my donation goes. I was also able to donate to a special fund to provide Juliana with additional basic necessities such as dentures, eye glasses, and basic household furnishings. What a delight it was to receive her photographs with all that I provided. The letters that she and I exchange are priceless...and the relationship we have developed is a true and loving bond. CFCA has done more for me, I think, than I have done for the foundation. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this charity.

Often nonprofits provide some type of paperwork, such as a statement or a pledge form, to their donors
before the donors provide payment. QuickBooks uses two different types of forms for this paperwork:
A statement is a summary of charges, and is often sent on a regular basis. For example, a museum that charges
a quarterly membership fee would send a statement of charges. This statement would represent the quarterly fee as well as any charges,
such as special events or museum shop purchase, accrued during that time period.
A pledge form or an invoice is used to send a bill to a customer, usually for a specific charge or set of charges.
For example, a dance performing troupe might send an invoice to a customer to receive payment after a dance performance. Some other examples:
An environmental organization holds a fundraising drive. Pledge forms are sent to donors who committed to sending payment but did not provide full payment at the time they promised donation.
A health and safety organization provides first aid classes to a company. They request a deposit up front, and use an invoice to receive final payment at the course conclusion.

The "Battle for Los Angeles" on Friday night eventually met the hype with a nail-biting finish, but the Clippers outlasted the late Lakers' rally to win 107-102 and snap a two-game losing streak. The Clippers led by as many as 19 points in the fourth quarter before the Lakers fought back to close within two points with less than two minutes remaining.
Kobe Bryant was at his best, scoring 16 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter. The Black Mamba went into attack mode after three quarters yielded a 16-point Lakers deficit. Three quarters in, Bryant was shooting an efficient 9-15 from the field for 22 points. Also, he was playing his heart out on defense, collecting a game-high five steals on the night and taking on the responsibility of guarding Chris Paul at the pivotal point.
"I've seen a lot of games, and I don't know—on both ends—anyone playing better than that," Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni said after the game. "[Bryant] got us back in the game."
However, all of Bryant's effort went to waste, once again, as Chris Paul led the Clippers to victory in the final couple minutes. Paul earned some critical whistles and hit all the six of his free throws down the stretch. Paul ended the night with 30 points after scoring 11 of the Clippers' final 20 points. He also managed to hand out 13 assists, but 11 of those came in the first half.
Steve Nash managed the Lakers' point guard duties with 10 assists and 12 points on 3-4 shooting. Nash's four turnovers hurt the team, but the Lakers did not ultimately lose the turnover battle. The Lakers did, however, get out-rebounded on the offensive and defensive glass. Also, missing 10 free throws on the night means a great deal in a five point loss.
Ultimately, though, a cold shooting start was the Lakers' demise on Friday night. Jodie Meeks took five shots in the first quarter and missed all of them, as the Lakers started 0-8 from behind the arc before Meeks finally hit one in the second quarter. The Lakers ended the night shooting 6-25 from three point land, 24 percent. The Lakers have died by the three the last two games.
To their credit, this group of Lakers certainly do not quit. Regardless of what the scoreboard suggests, the Lakers always have a chance because Kobe Bryant is on the team. After Friday's loss, the Lakers are now 15-17, and Bryant's incredible effort, effiiciency, and energy was wasted, once again.
About the only positive thing Coach D'Antoni could say after the game was, "Kobe was phenomenal."
Unfortunately, the rest of the Lakers were not. Hardly anyone would be surprised if General Manager Mitch Kupchack picked up the phone during the first half and started asking about what may be available around the league.
With Pau Gasol only playing a minute of the fourth quarter and clearly being the odd man out during the comeback (and since D'Antoni took over), he appears to be the most likely change…let the trade talk commence.

Im am looking to purchase my first Mac computer which one would be good for everyday use
- Asked by Cheryl K from Saint Albans
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
If you travel and want a laptop that could come with you you could go with Macbook pro 13" or Macbook pro 15" but i suggest you go for the later since it has more punch than the 13"
if you want a desktop computer, you could go for An IMac, even the base-line configuration/model will be suffice your need.
if you are hesitant but want to try out a mac, you could buy a mac mini, but you also need to buy an external monitor. this is the cheapest of all that I am suggesting. the high end don't even come close the base-line of macbook pro and IMac, So I call this the trial version of Mac.
mobility = macbook pro 15"
standard desktop = IMac baseline model
Trial = Mac Mini High End Model
- Answered by Angelo Bryan P from Las Pinas City
- Feb 1, 2012
if you want portability, you should get a 13 or 15 inch macbook pro or the high end 13 inch macbook air. if you want better performance than a laptop, go for the baseline of the mac mini, which is cheap, at only $600, and it will give you more than enough for everyday use. if you have more money to spend, than you can buy a baseline of the imac, which might not be so everyday because there is a lot more power, but if you are on a budget, than get the mac mini

Lake Michigan isn't exactly known for its surfing, but aficionados may soon have another way to catch a big wave in Chicago.
K.C. Hoos of Chicago Surf is attempting to build a SurfStream machine at Montrose Beach, which provides a simulated surfing experience. But the contraption wouldn't be actually located in the water, it would be located on dry land in a planned surf park with a beachside cafe and a 7,500 square foot patio (pictured, right).
"A lot of people come here already. It's a huge park, huge beach with volleyball, kayaking, jet skis and now we are adding a surf park," Hoos said.
Crews were drilling on Thursday to test the soil, and if the city signs off on the project, construction will begin in autumn.
"It's a stationary spray pool that you can surf on top of it. It's on a real surf board, and you can adjust the speed, so it simulates actual surfing," Hoos said.
Chicago Surf from Chicago Surf on Vimeo.
Hoos says the best thing about the SurfStream, made by American Wave Machines, is that you don't have to know how to surf to use it. It can create up to 6-foot multiple wave patterns.
"It's safe enough for young kids to professionals," Hoos said. "You can stay laying down like a boogie board, then you work your way up to kneeling, and then you eventually stand up."
The Chicago Park District allows year-round surfing at Montrose and 57th Street beaches. You can also surf at Osterman and Rainblow beaches between Labor Day and Memorial Day, however because of the challenging waves, surfers are responsible for their own safety.
Hoos, who used to live in South California, says by the time the waves get big enough to surf in Chicago, the water temperature is too cold. Plus, he says safety isn't an issue with the surfing machine.
"It's in a controlled environment. You don't have sharks, you don't have to swim out past the waves, it's not cold water. It's a win-win," Hoos said.
Chicago Park District officials say they're close to an agreement, and if all goes according to plan, the simulated surfing machine could be up and running by next summer.

Oh and also, I thought the bird lady should have made it. I actually liked her.
JunkieGirl, I also love the chemistry between the judges. I didn't mind Piers, but sometimes I felt like they were turning him into a poor man's Simon Cowell. He didn't seem to be enjoying himself last season so I had a feeling he was going. I'm still on the fence with Howie, but he wasn't as annoying (yet) as I usually find him. I like that Howard was to the point and polite with some of the acts. He seemed to be all business, which is what I heard he was like. I think he'll work out well. Nice seeing Ozzy there, too.
Best thing I can say about the show is that Howard isn't a complete a$$. Howie, on the other hand, irritates me no end.
I actually like Howard on this. The first father/daughter act are already famous. They even have a car commercial out. I adore them!
I love Nick. He's funny, kind and such a sweetheart. I noticed that all the kids run right to him and hug him. Says a lot about a person when all the tots love him.
I didn't like Nick Cannon the first season he was on, I guess due to his association with Mariah Carey. But I've come to adore the big lug. He's great with people, willing to make fun of himself on stage. That number he did last night was hilarious! He's a total sweetheart, seeing him talk to the baby of those weird parents~~ awwww!
I've watched Piers new show on and off and he seems more in his element there. He was fine at first on here, and I thought he was sort of a nicer Simon Cowell. But he likely knew he was done last season and didn't care. He and Howie didn't seem to mesh well, either.
Guess we'll just use this thread for night 2 as well (San Francisco auditions up first).
First guy is an artist with dancers (can't remember what he called themselves). That was pretty good. I hope we see more good acts tonight.
That was very cool. :up
This guy, Mr. Special, is a little on the looney side. I guess the costume speaks volumes :lol

First of all be patient as the following information is getting to a
point that might add to your appreciation of the movie. I became aware
of the following information while attending Northern Michigan
University in Marquette, MI over a few tall drinks with John D. Volker,
the author, years ago.
This great courtroom drama is set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. To be more specific the cities of Marquette, Negaunee and Ishpeming and the village of Big Bay and is based on a true murder case that took place there. The names of the cities and people are changed in the movie but it is filmed on the same locations that the murder case took place. The screenplay was written by John D. Volker (who wrote his novels under the pen name Robert Travers) and was based on his first novel. He was from Ishpeming (Iron City in the movie) and a Michigan Supreme Court Justice when he reviewed the appeal of this case and turned it into a detailed novel and then screenplay. The movie is given an extra dose of authenticity by using the unique people of the Upper Peninsula as extras and in minor roles.
The point of all this historical information is that along with a hard hitting realistic style by director Otto Premenger, great score by Duke Ellington, plus top notch true to life performances by the excellent cast (Jimmy Stewart, Ben Gazara, Lee Remick, George C. Scott, et.al) this black and white film is more reality than fiction and being aware of this adds to impact of this psychological courtroom drama. This is a true human experience written by an author from the area directly from the original court transcripts, filmed where it happened in a style that fits the subject matter where it actually happened with a cast that really knows what they are doing.
If you like ripped from reality courtroom dramas, does it get better?
Anatomy of an excellent movie:
Begin with an extremely tight and well written script, from the novel by the same name. While reportedly the story is based on a real-life case it is nevertheless a timeless story, almost biblical, presenting age-old questions of human conflicts and human dilemmas.
Add to that a sensational cast, starting of course with the leads, Jimmy Stewart, George C. Scott, Lee Remick, and Ben Gazarra, but also the rest of the cast, filled as it is with numerous accomplished and veteran stage actors and radio performers from days of yore. Character parts played by actors Arthur O'Connell, Eve Arden, Ken Lynch, Joseph Kearns, and Howard McNear. Someone paid careful attention to the casting for this film.
Perhaps the most masterful stroke as far as casting goes was the casting Joseph Welch as the judge. Welch was an experienced and renowned lawyer in real life. Welch turns in a very good and a very believable performance.
With the collision of those elements, a great script and a great cast, adding Otto Preminger as director, an overseer who knew exactly what to do with it all, you then have a very fine film.
More than any other movie or play, including modern day presentations like the television series Law & Order, this 1959 movie, Anatomy of a Murder, even though it is now 46 years old, is by far the most realistic and technically accurate courtroom drama ever produced. The conduct of the trial, the examination of the witnesses, the colloquy and bantering back and forth between the lawyers and between the lawyers and the judge, is spot-on. Every bit of it. Every question from the lawyers, every objection, every ruling by the judge, every admonishment from the judge, and the testimony of the witnesses, every bit of it, is realistic and believable, lines that were accurately written with care, and then flawlessly delivered.
Beyond the technical accuracies of the legal proceedings, some other aspects of the overall story were also spot on. The ambiguous ambivalence of lawyers, their motivations, their ethics, their relative honesty. Nothing is all black or all white. Shades of gray abound. Legal cases as sport. Being a "good lawyer" means pushing the envelope too far, bending the rules until you're told to stop. Not for justice. No, not that. To win. That's why. To win. Then sanctimoniously telling themselves that the system really works better this way. The movie accurately captures the fact that real-life legal cases are very often comprised of upside down Alice in Wonderland features. Innocent people are guilty, and guilty people are innocent. Good is bad, and bad is good. Everything is relative. Some call it cynicism. Others, cynically, call it realism. Anatomy of a Murder captures all of these and more.
I've read the criticism that Lee Remick was not believable, that as an actress she failed at nailing the portrayal of how a true rape victim would appear and behave, and that her character, Laura Manion, just didn't seem to have the proper affect nor strike the right emotional chord of a woman who had been raped. All I can say is that such criticism misses a humongous part of the point. It is almost mind-boggling that there are viewers out there who, after viewing this film, somehow managed to miss it. Let me clear it up: we the viewers WERE SUPPOSED to have serious doubts about whether Laura Manion had actually been raped. The question of whether she was really raped or not is central to the plot and story line. That's why Lee Remick played the part the way she did. And then, in turn, it was part of the story for the Jimmy Stewart character, Paul Biegler, to recognize this problem, and the problem that it presented to his defense. He worried that the jury would see it and would also doubt that she had been raped, and so that's why he propped her up in court, dressed up all prim and proper, with a hat over her voluptuously cascading hair, and with horned-rim glasses. So, yes, Lee Remick nailed it. Bull's eye.
Speaking of Lee Remick, some say that this was the movie that put Lee Remick on the map. She was stunningly beautiful here, at the ripe young age of 24. Even though the film is in black and white, her red hair, blue eyes, and porcelain skin still manage to jump right off the screen and out at you. Has any other actress ever played the role of the beautiful and sexy lady looking to get laid any better than Lee Remick? It was a woman she reprised several times in her career, sometimes with greater subtlety and understatement than others. This was her first rendition of it, and it may have been the best.
Anatomy of a Murder is a very complex movie, with multitudes of layers and texturing, where much is deftly explored, but precious little is resolved. It's a movie that leaves you thinking and wondering. I highly recommend it.
Well filmed, beautifully acted, and painstakingly directed, this film
deserves the highest praise.
James Stewart brings his customary stammering, quirky charm to a role that could have easily become overwhelmingly serious. Lee Remick is seen establishing her early image as the somehow fragile, undeniably seductive pawn (see also "A Face in The Crowd"), while Gazzara wavers intensely somewhere between heartless murderer and protective husband. The supporting cast is strong, creating a human backdrop for the senior players, keeping the story in the real world, effectively preventing this from becoming an exercise in legal theory.
This film is noteworthy for a myriad of reasons, but most specifically because it addresses the still controversial issue of acquaintance rape, and presents us with a victim of questionable morals. At the same time our murder victim is seen as a monster, then a friend and father. There really are no heroes here, no noble defenders, no pristine heroines, no completely innocent bystanders...both sides take their turns pointing fingers, each claiming that the other only got what they deserved.
We are forced to re-evaluate our thoughts on what constitutes justifiable homicide--the unwritten law that Manion speaks of in the film versus the law as written that Biegler must now interpret. This manipulation of intended meaning sets a somewhat tragic precedent evident in the legal system we work within today.
This film is highly entertaining, and excellent for discussion. Watch it with some of your more philosophical friends.
Anatomy Of a Murder is probably Otto Preminger's best film. It's certainly
my favorite. Adapted from a novel by Robert Traver, it tells the story of a
lawyer in northern Michigan and his defense of a particularly surly and
violent murderer. As is always the case with Preminger, scenes are filmed
mostly with all the characters present in the frame. There is no
cross-cutting to speak of, which is to say the drama plays out with the
assorted characters confronting one another, or at any rate with one
another, and the effect is one of surprising warmth and good feeling in the
movie's cosier scenes, which for once enhance rather than detract from the
drama. I would have been quite happy to have spent much more time in lawyer
Biegler's house and study, with its books, old furniture and broken
typewriter, but alas this is a murder case so one has to get down to
The question of whether the defendant, an army officer, was temporarily insane, is in fact insane, or is merely putting on a good show, is never fully resolved. The lawyer is by no means perfect. He's a little lazy, though he gets over it. One senses he's cheap. He enjoys his shabby genteel bachelor's life and isn't always responsive to the needs of his secretary, who would like to get paid more regularly. In the end he proves far more dedicated and brilliant than we might have first imagined him to be, but the fly in the buttermilk is that the better he gets the more complicated the case becomes, and the more ambiguous everything gets the more he finds out about his client and the man he killed. In this respect the movie is a masterpiece of ambiguity. Beautifully shot on location in black and white, it is more gray than anything else. Morally gray. No one is quite what he appears to be at first. And people change; or rather we learn more about them. The bartender at the resort where his boss was killed at first comes off as a jerk; in time he comes to seem more of a jerk. Then he seems maybe not so bad after all; and then he's a jerk once more, but a jerk we understand. The lawyer's assistant, an on-again, off-again recovering alcoholic, is also a mixed bag. He is dogged but sloppy, and always (or so it appears) on the verge of breakdown. Or at least this is how Arthur O'Connell plays him. The prosecuting attorney is a dolt, but he is aided by a legal bigwig the state has brought in, but this hotshot is no match for the cunning country lawyer. The defendant's wife, who 'started the whole thing' is gorgeous, sexy and provocative. She makes a play for her husband's lawyer, but he doesn't bite. One wonders about her. And one wonders about the marriage she and her hot-tempered spouse really have, and whether it will last.
This is a very sophisticated and adult movie for 1959, or for that matter today. The location filming greatly enhances the mood, chilly and very upper midwestern. Yet indoors one feels different, and the tone is often playful. The actors are superb. James Stewart is gritty, lovable, homespun, physically slow and mentally quick; and for all the familiarity there is about his screen persona, out of character, that is, in character he manages continually to surprise and delight. He was a true actor. Ben Gazzara is very Method actorish, which suits him well in his role as the volatile military man. Lee Remick is stunning as his wife, and one can well imagine a man killing for her, many times over. She is also a good actress. George C. Scott plays the state's bulldog prosecutor well, though he's an acquired taste at best. His hamminess contrasts with Stewart's folksy naturalism in interesting ways not ungermane to the plot, but he is out-acted and outclassed by the old pro he is presumably upstaging in this film.
Based on the famous Traver novel, ANATOMY OF A MURDER is an extremely
complex film that defeats easy definition. In some respects it is a
social document of the era in which it was made; primarily, however, it
is a detailed portrait of the law at work and the mechanizations and
motivations of the individuals involved in a seemingly straight-forward
case. In the process it raises certain ethical issues re attorney
behavior and the lengths to which an attorney might go to win a case.
Paul Biegler (James Stewart) is a small-town lawyer who has recently lost a re-election for the position of District Attorney and who is down on his luck--when a headline-making case involving assault, alleged rape, and murder drops into his lap. As the case evolves, there is no question about the identity of the killer. But a smart lawyer might be able to get him off just the same and redeem his own career in the process, and with the aid of an old friend (Arthur O'Connell) and his formidable secretary (Eve Arden), Biegler sets out to do precisely that. Opposing him in the courtroom is Claude Dancer (George C. Scott), a high powered prosecutor who is equally determined to get a conviction... and who is no more adverse to coaching a witness than Biegler himself. The two square off in a constantly shifting battle for the jury, a battle that often consists of underhanded tactics on both sides.
The performances are impressive, with James Stewart ideally cast as the attorney for the defense, Ben Gazzara as his unsavory client, and a truly brilliant Lee Remick as the sexy and disreputable wife who screams rape where just possibly none occurred; O'Connell, Arden, and Scott also offer superior performances. The script is sharp, cool, and meticulous, the direction and cinematography both effective and completely unobtrusive, and the famous jazz score adds quite a bit to the film as a whole.
Although we can't help rooting for Stewart, as the film progresses it seems more and more likely that Remick is lying through her teeth and Gazzara is as guilty as sin--but the film balances its elements in such a way as to achieve a disturbing ambiguity that continues right through to the end. If you expect a courtroom thriller with sudden revelations and twists you'll likely be disappointed in ANATOMY OF A MURDER, but if you want a thought-provoking take on the law you'd be hard pressed to find one better. Recommended.
Gary F. Taylor, aka GFT, Amazon Reviewer
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
'Anatomy of a Murder' illustrates vividly how one lawyer repeatedly
faces the heat of a controversial rape-case courtroom battle... The
film might be Stewart's finest performance... For his magnificent
achievement, Stewart was nominated for an Academy Award... The film
itself received a total of seven Oscars in various categories, but was
overtaken by William Wyler's 'Ben-Hur', the blockbuster of that year,
whose star, Charlton Heston, beat out Stewart for best actor...
'Anatomy of a Murder' is one of the few great racy courtroom melodramas ever put on the screen... It is a study of characters superbly detailed, in which a simple country lawyer zealously defends a young Army lieutenant charged with clearly gunning down a bar-owner who, he alleges, raped his young wife... The murder takes place some time after Remick tells her husband (Gazzara) she was rapedenough time to suggest that the killing was not done in the heat of passion but with some deliberation...
Stewart, a warm bachelor lawyer with an old-fashioned grace of manner, is wonderfully believable as the qualified defense attorney, who tries to establish whether or not Lee Remick has been raped... He masterfully guides his defendant to the most exciting climax, repeatedly drawing forth evidence which he knows to be inadmissible, but which he wants the jury to hear...
Stewart smokes cheap cigars, plays jazz piano, and restrains beautifully Remick's flirtatious overtures, but his benevolence is never in question... We see him hauling the provocative Remick from out of the bar telling her to be a good, and submissive housewife for the court...
Stewart studies with a cynical eye the peculiar traits of the accused, tolerates, with amused resignation, his friend's drunken lapses, and competently makes his point to the judge and jury...
Ben Gazzara proves to be a problematic client, close to uncooperative with his lawyer... Also, it is very clear that he is a jealously possessive man, which is enough to question the validity of the rape charge, he claims that he acted in a moment of insane anger... The film raises fascinating legal highlights on disorders of jealousy...
Lee Remick gives a sensational performance as the sexy wife whose missing panties form a vital part of the evidence...
Remick knows how to attract and seduce... She is so coquettish that she drives her angry husband to murder... The trial poses tricky questions: Was the Remick character in advanced levels of seduction during her wanderings at the neighborhood bar? Did her bruises come from the man whom she claimed raped her, or from her jealous husband?
George C. Scott plays the sly, sardonic prosecuting attorney who offers the character a wonderful air of arrogance and superiority, unnerving with his aggressive antagonism witnesses and defense attorney...
Arthur O'Connell rises to the occasion when his lawyer-hero needs him...
Eve Arden is Stewart's faithful and efficient secretary eager that the Manion case might bring her a long-overdue paycheck...
The courtroom fencing between Stewart and Scott is so convincing with the casting of Joseph N. Welch as the delightful ever-patient judge, Harlan Weaver... Judge Weaver, whose patience is repeatedly tried by the grotesque gestures of the lawyers in the case, appears too kindly to be much of a courtroom disciplinarian... But in the tension between the shrewd old judge and the lawyer for defense, the film raises a crucial issue on the rules of advocacy: To what extent a lawyer should represent a client zealously within the rules and norms of courtroom etiquette?
Preminger's penchant for long takes and a mobile camera, rather than cuts and conversational reaction shots, here serves both to illuminate the crucial ambiguities in the characters, and to facilitate an objective appraisal of the mechanics of the legal process...
Preminger challenges the American censors over the candid sexual terminology and explicit examination of rape in his courtroom drama... Ellington's score brilliantly captures the tension and the moral ambiguity that characterize the movie... Sam Leavitt's black-and-white photography is particularly impressive, setting as it does the stark mood of the authentic Michigan locations...
The legendary James Stewart has worked for several of Hollywood's most legendary directors including Frank Capra and Alfred Hitchcock but his films for them can not reach the level of this 1959 Columbia Pictures release that he did for Otto Preminger. Stewart gives his all time greatest performance in a gem of a courtroom drama that is often overlooked. Released on the heels of several other courtroom drama classics such as "Twelve Angry Men" and "Witness For The Prosecution", "Anatomy Of A Murder" tells the story of a small town Michigan lawyer (Stewart) who takes on the case of an army officer who is standing trial for murdering a man who he believes had raped his wife. A little risque and controversial for its time but still a classic and time has served it well. A triumph for all of the talent involved.
Lawyer Paul Biegler takes the case of Lt. Manion who killed a man after he
discovered he had raped his wife, Laura. Biegler realises that the cards
are not all in his favour and begins to ensure that the facts are spun in
his favour as much as possible during the trial.
This film caused a stir back when it was released supposedly over the dialogue that contained words not used before in a motion picture. However it was more likely that the furore was over the cynical view of the legal profession that the film has. The story is good, but if you're looking for a John Grisham type film with shouting and ridiculous twists in the final reel then you're in the wrong place. What we have here is a clever, interesting story that moves slowly focusing on Biegler rather than twists and turns in the actual plot.
Biegler is sort of clean cut, but he seems like a real lawyer he twists facts and prompts lies in order to improve his case. The various tricks and theatrical shenanigans during the trail are also well observed. The characters are all interesting with only the judge seeming like a dull stereotype.
James Stewart is excellent and helps make the shifty lawyer more likeable and relatable. Remick is excellent as the flirtatious Laura while Gazzara is cool as the accused. George C Scott doesn't have much to do, but does well anyway.
Overall a very enjoyable courtroom thriller it lacks the fireworks of modern legal dramas but has a nice cynical edge to it that shows it isn't as in awe of the law as Grisham is.
As a courtroom drama, "Anatomy of a Murder" would be hard to surpass.
It is a first-class production with an interesting and unpredictable
story plus a strong cast. It works admirably, both as a story and as a
portrayal of the workings of the law. It avoids the labored dramatics
and contrived resolutions in which so many movies of the genre indulge,
and it also declines to shy away from pointing out the more
ill-conceived features of the legal system.
From his first scene, James Stewart pulls the viewer right into the world of lawyer Paul Biegler. It takes little time before you come to know him and to get a pretty good idea of what his life is like. His scenes with Arthur O'Connell work well in rounding out the picture. The two are neither heroic nor brilliant, but simply sympathetic and believable.
Into Biegler's world then come the characters played by Ben Gazzara and Lee Remick, a married couple with more than their share of faults. By making them less than ideal clients, the movie takes a chance on losing the audience's sympathy, but it adds credibility and complexity to the story. Both roles are played well - again, it seems as if you know a lot more about them than is specifically stated.
When George C. Scott enters the picture, he adds yet another dimension. His character arrives at just the right time to complicate the plot, and his legal skirmishing with Stewart makes some dry material come to life in an interesting way. Eve Arden also has some good moments, and her character is used in just the right amount to add some amusement without causing a distraction from the main story. It's also interesting to see Joseph Welch as the judge, and his portrayal works well enough.
Otto Preminger holds everything together nicely, with the right amount of detail and a pace that keeps the story moving steadily. The result is a very nice contrast to the many run-of-the mill legal/courtroom movies that present such an idealized view of the justice system. It maintains a careful balance, making clear the flaws and unpleasant realities of the system, yet never taking cheap shots either. And it's also an interesting and involved story, one of the most carefully-crafted of its kind.
An excellent ballet of film direction and courtroom procedure, Anatomy is
one of the best courtroom movies ever produced. With a great cast and three
dimensional characters, highlighted by Jimmy Stewart and his usual "likeable
everyman" character, the film moves briskly and intelligently, thanks to
Premminger's fine direction.
Ben Gazzara plays an army soldier who shoots a man who raped his wife, then pleads insanity. Stewart is his lawyer and Lee Remick is great as the suggestive, somewhat slutty wife who leaves you questioning her motives throughout. Whether or not you agree with the final verdict (personally, I don't), you will agree that this is a great film, worth repeated viewings.

Bills Show Commitment To Winning By Signing Mario Williams To Record Deal
Bills Owner Ralph Wilson was "as ecstatic as any of his team's fans over the signing" of DE Mario Williams to a six-year deal worth as much as $100M, according to Mark Gaughan of the BUFFALO NEWS. Wilson said, "It was a big win today, a big win for everybody; the fans, the people who work for us, everyone." The contract includes $50M guaranteed and "is the biggest for a defensive player in NFL history." It also is the "first huge-money deal the team has handed out in free agency" since '07, when it signed G Derrick Dockery for $49M. The 93-year-old Wilson said, "I'd like to see us make the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl while I'm around. I don't expect to be around that many years." Wilson said that he "did not consider the signing any change in philosophy for him." He added, "I feel like we're not that far away." He also said that he "had no hesitation in going after Williams, despite the big cost," when GM Buddy Nix pitched the idea. Wilson: "The money had nothing to do with it. Buddy figured out how much it would take to get him. He put the price on, and we went from there" (BUFFALO NEWS, 3/16). ESPN.com's Andrew Brandt noted competitive balance and "parity, fueled by a cap and equally shared billions of television revenue," allowed for the small-market Bills to land Williams. Brandt wrote, "Pay close attention to the reported $50 million guarantee. That is the 'real money' of this contract, and it is eye-popping." An NFL source said that half of the $50M "is fully guaranteed for skill and injury while the other $25 million is only guaranteed for injury initially, converting to full skill guarantees later in the contract" (ESPN.com, 3/15).
IMPACT PLAYER: In Buffalo, Bucky Gleason notes not since the '86 deal for QB Jim Kelly has a player "signing a contract with the Bills made such an impact," and it is a sign the Bills "are relevant again." Williams "chose to come here, a fact that will take him a long, long way in this town." Williams said Thursday at the press conference, "You hear so much about, 'Oh, it's cold.' It's cold in a lot of places. You hear so much about, 'There's really nothing to do.' Well, it's a family atmosphere here, but everything is within reach if you want to go to Toronto or fly to New York or Boston" (BUFFALO NEWS, 3/16). In Rochester, Bob Matthews writes the arrival of Williams "could mean more to the Bills off the field than on the field in terms of credibility and relevancy in this region and throughout the NFL nation, proving that owner Ralph Wilson still is serious about providing a competitive product, encouraging fans to buy season tickets, and suggesting that ... Buffalo is not necessarily the Siberia of the NFL" (ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE, 3/16). The BUFFALO NEWS' Gaughan writes the deal "is a milestone in the 52-year history of the Bills" (BUFFALO NEWS, 3/16).
Williams had been with the Texans since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the '06 NFL Draft. Texans Owner Bob McNair said of losing Williams to the Bills, "What you're seeing happen is there are a few stars around the league that are going to get a lot of money, and with the salary cap, that just means that there's less money to go around for the rest of the other players. I think what this will do ultimately with the new CBA ... is going to allow the teams in the lower quartile an opportunity to move up faster because with the new rookie salary pool less money is going to go to the rookies." Patriots Owner Robert Kraft said of big free-agent contracts, "Commissioner Goodell has done a great job helping to get us this 10-year labor agreement. We have TV agreements that guarantee our revenue streams over the next decade so teams know what they have to spend and the health of the league is very strong" ("Squawk Box," CNBC, 3/16).
NOW OR LATER? Williams is arguably the highest-profile free agent to sign a deal this offseason, and Comcast SportsNet New England's Tom Curran noted there are a "lot of teams that are rolling their eyes and saying, 'My god, why is everybody spending so much money? We don't have a salary cap that went up, it's gone down!'" Curran: "The fact is you can either pay now like some teams are doing, or pay later like teams like the Patriots probably intend to do when that 2014 money comes in. I'd be a pay later guy myself. Wait till the money is there." NBC Sports Network's Pete Najarian: "The teams that are paying now, have to pay now. They got to fill those stadiums. I'm talking about Buffalo and I'm talking about Tampa Bay. They're the ones paying, they got to pay now." NBC Sports Network's Russ Thaler: "That's right. If you don't pay now you might not have the money to spend" ("NBC Sports Talk," NBC Sports Network, 3/15).
Crisis Averted: Dwight Howard To Stay With Magic For At Least One More Year
Magic C Dwight Howard, after "months of agonizing over his future, and with the NBA trade deadline just hours away," decided to commit to the team "for at least one more season," according to Josh Robbins of the ORLANDO SENTINEL. Howard "waived his contract's early termination option and ensured he will remain with the franchise for the 2012-13 season." His decision "ended a high-stakes game of chicken against the Magic." Team officials had determined they would "not allow Howard to become a free agent this summer." Robbins writes Magic officials "pulled at him," and Magic CEO Alex Martins "communicated with Howard almost every day." Howard will earn $19.5M with the Magic next season. Martins said that the team "will try to sign Howard for the long-term" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/16). In Orlando, Mike Bianchi writes Howard's decision was "such a powerful and wonderful thing." Bianchi: "It wasn't business. It was personal." Howard on Thursday said, "In my heart, I just felt like loyalty is better than anything. … I have to do what's going to make me happy. I've got everything I want right here in Orlando." Howard did something professional athletes "rarely do these days: He did what was best for the Magic and not for himself" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/16). An ORLANDO SENTINEL editorial states, "Good for Magic fans. Now they must hope the team does enough to convince him to stay for good" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/16).
DÉJÀ VU? ESPN THE MAGAZINE'S Chris Broussard wrote the move "ends what can only be characterized as a tense saga for the Magic." By signing a waiver that keeps Howard with the team through next season, he "passes up the opportunity to sign a long-term contract this offseason." He is "eligible to sign a two-year or three-year extension with the Magic, or he can collect his $19 million next season and then become a free agent, but Howard runs the risk of incurring an injury before signing another long-term deal" (ESPN.com, 3/15). In Orlando, George Diaz writes the waiver "essentially gives the Magic another year to put enough pieces in place to keep him around forever and ever." Diaz: "March Sadness has been averted. But the Dwight Drama has not. This just means we get to double-down on all craziness for another year" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/16). The AP's Kyle Hightower noted unless team Martins and GM Otis Smith can "add pieces around Howard between now and the summer of 2013, this entire ordeal is set to play out one more time." Martins said that "part of the process was building a new relationship with Howard that he didn't have before." Martins said that his "focus will be on making Orlando what Howard needs it to be in hopes of getting the center to sign a long-term deal" (AP, 3/15).
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN: In N.Y., Stefan Bondy notes the Nets and Magic "had the framework of a deal complete Wednesday night" for a Howard trade. It was the move Howard and his agent, Dan Fegan, had "pushed for since preseason, a way to earn more endorsement dollars in a bigger market." Nets GM Billy King "constructed his roster and cap situation accordingly." But Howard "waffled for a final time that night on the team plane, where he decided to go against the advice of Fegan and exercise his one-year option to play another season in Orlando -- thus forgoing free agency until 2013 and killing King's plan to open the Barclays Center" with Howard and Nets G Deron Williams. Bondy: "Until further notice, these are still the Nets, Brooklyn or not, Mikhail Prokhorov or not" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 3/16). In Toronto, Frank Zicarelli writes the "biggest losers in the Howard melodrama would be the New Jersey Nets, a team that can't buy a break, even with a deep-pocketed owner" (TORONTO SUN, 3/16).
MARTINS IS THE MAN: The ORLANDO SENTINEL's Diaz writes Martins was "the perfect guy to re-recruit Dwight," and he was the one who "got it done." Martins convinced Howard to "roll the dice" with the Magic. Howard is "staying (at least for another year) because he is loyal to the Magic, but most importantly he is loyal to Martins." Martins used "his personality -- very businesslike, but approachable and cordial -- to convince Howard to break free from the pack of NBA egomaniacs and their superstar cliques." Martins said, "I don't think it's fair for me not to say that a lot of people were involved in this process. [Team Owners] the DeVos family were incredibly involved with conference calls, sometimes with as many as 20 members of the family" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 3/16).
Blazers President Says Roster Moves No Indication Paul Allen Is Looking To Sell
Trail Blazers President Larry Miller said Owner Paul Allen is "still absolutely committed to this team," and Thursday's slew of roster moves -- including trading C Marcus Camby and F Gerald Wallace, releasing C Greg Oden and firing coach Nate McMillan -- "have had nothing to do with positioning the team for sale." Miller said Allen is as "involved as he's ever been in this team." Miller: "I talk to him and email with him on a regular basis. He's very, very involved with this team." He added of the possibility Allen was looking to sell, "I would hope that I would know. … If that was the case, I would be aware of that and be involved in it and I can tell you right now, I have no knowledge" (CSNNW.com, 3/15).

Quebecor Inc.'s plan to "revitalize its media division has little to do with newspapers and television stations and everything to do" with bringing an NHL team back to Quebec City, according to Steve Ladurantaye of the GLOBE & MAIL. While the Montreal-based media, cable and telecommunication company's plan is "hardly a secret, the extent of its ambitions were laid bare Thursday as the company released earnings that blew past analysts' expectations." Although the day's focus was on the numbers, CEO Pierre Karl Péladeau "couldn't help slipping in a mention of the company's NHL ambitions in the press release." And while the past year may have been "difficult -- the company cut 400 jobs in its Sun Media division -- much of the restructuring has been done to prepare the media division for an NHL bid." Péladeau said, "Quebecor Media now has all the tools it needs to pursue its goals, which are to manage a world-class multipurpose centre and to bring a National Hockey League team to Quebec City." Ladurantaye notes the company has "reached a deal for the naming rights" of a yet-to-be-built C$400M arena in the city. Terms of the deal "vary depending on the eventual tenant, but Quebecor could pay" as much as C$65M for the rights. It would like to see a setup "similar to that enjoyed by Rogers Communications, which owns both the Toronto Blue Jays and the rights to broadcast the team's games on its specialty sports channels" (GLOBE & MAIL, 3/16).
RELOCATION DESTINATION? In Toronto, Morgan Campbell notes Quebecor's revenues from Q4 '11 were C$1.15B, a C$59M "increase over the same period in 2010 and an indication Quebecor can bankroll a major sports team." Conference Board of Canada Senior VP & Chief Economist Glen Hodgson said, "If you're an organization with $4 billion in cash flow, buying an NHL franchise for $200 million is not that big a thing to imagine." Campbell notes if the NHL decides that a "struggling franchise" like the Coyotes should be "sold and moved, Quebec City would likely have to compete with Seattle, which hopes to lure the NBA back to town with a new arena." Both Hodgson and Univ. of Ottawa sports business professor Norman O'Reilly indicated that the "strong Canadian dollar gives Quebec City an advantage its owners didn't enjoy" in previous years (TORONTO STAR, 3/16). The GLOBE & MAIL's Sean Gordon notes the talk in hockey circles is the NHL would "prefer to move the Coyotes to Seattle or perhaps Kansas City, but neither of those cities presents the same short-term appeal as Quebec City" (GLOBE & MAIL, 3/16).
Timbers Owner Merritt Paulson Sees MLS Growth Potential
MLS Timbers Owner Merritt Paulson said he does not "know of a sports property in the world that has the growth potential that MLS has," and the league has "reached a tipping point in the United States and it's really exciting to be part of it," according to Jack Bell of the N.Y. TIMES. Paulson said there is "a bit of a move now and focus toward the product on the field," and Portland is a "sophisticated soccer audience." Paulson said the "real priority is to get the level of play up, and make this the best league in the Western Hemisphere and one of the best leagues in the world." The following are excerpts from Paulson's Q&A with Bell.
Q: Last year, you had about 2,000 seats that were covered with a tarp, with obstructed views I believe. You opened them up for this season increasing potential attendance to about 20,000. What went into those decisions?
Paulson: We opened all the seats in North End, and have very few that are tarped. We have 7,000 people on our waiting list for season tickets. If we had 25,000 seats we would be sold out every game. We're costing ourselves money with seats covered with tarps. ... At halftime it is a bit tight on the concourses, but it's manageable now. Last year we were at roughly 18,000 a game, this year it's 20,300. Another 1,500-2,000 seats are still covered. We'll see how it goes."
Q: Do you ever second-guess yourself about renovating an older stadium in the downtown area as opposed to trying to build something new, perhaps outside the city?
Paulson: To be in [the] heart of the city on the west side, with light rail everywhere, that's something I wouldn't trade for all the tea in China. If you build me a Livestrong Sporting Park in Hillsboro, about 20 minutes outside Portland, I wouldn't take the trade.
Q: There has been so much talk about a second team in the New York area. ... Where do you come down on the matter?
Paulson: I think I'd share the commissioner's view that New York makes sense on a lot of levels, but we've got to get it right. That means getting the facility right. ... A second team in New York in the right stadium makes all the sense in the world.
Q: Did you make money last year? And if not, will you this year?
Paulson: We are cash-flow positive, and in this world it is a terrific thing. We put a lot of money into it, not just the team, renovating the stadium. It might be a long time to say we made a profit. If you look at the money between the cost of team, the extra millions put into the stadium and practice facility -- on an operating level we were profitable. (NYTIMES.com, 3/14).
WEIGHING IN: MLS Commissioner Don Garber and NBC Sports Networks President of Programming Jon Miller attended the Union-Timbers game Monday, and Garber said Paulson and his staff "have done a truly remarkable job." Garber: "It's only going to get bigger and better." Miller said of the atmosphere at Jeld-Wen Field being apparent on TV, "It's important, and it's incumbent on our producers. ... It's up to us to make sure we capture that and transfer it to television." When asked what teams and their supporters' clubs can do to replicate the atmosphere in Portland, Garber said, "I've been following some social media today, and people have been talking about how special tonight is. It is very, very special. But it's also amazing in Seattle and it was fantastic in Toronto, where the Champions League game had 47,000 people." He added, "There's great passion in a lot of our markets, and it continues to grow. It's a little bigger and better than it was last year, so who knows how it will be a couple years from now. Hopefully in markets it will continue to create a very positive dynamic of fan passion -- controlled fan passion." Garber said Union CEO & Operating Partner Nick Sakiewicz told him "one of the things he has admired the most is that Merritt has listened to the fans and given them a voice, but done it in a way that's responsible and respectable." Garber: "I applaud the Timbers Army for working closely with the league. We're trying to replicate that dynamic around the league" (PHILLY.com, 3/13).
Franchise Notes
In St. Louis, Jeremy Rutherford reported the cost of Blues tickets "will be on the rise" for the '12-13 season. The team will introduce a 9.8% "blended" increase in '12-13, "meaning some sections will increase more, some less, and the price in three sections will remain flat." The highest increase "will be in the Mezzanine End level, which will climb 18.8 percent ($19 from $16 per game)." No ticket prices "will decrease in cost, but a total of 2,850 seats will remain the same" next season (STLTODAY.com, 3/15).
DEREK & THE DOMINOS: In L.A., Bill Plaschke writes the Lakers "traded their soul" when they sent G Derek Fisher to the Rockets Thursday. He was unofficially traded because the Lakers "no longer wanted to worry about his future salary -- $3.4 million guaranteed next season -- or his future attitude." The "money dump is obvious," as it is the "same thing" Exec VP/Player Personnel Jim Buss did earlier this season in dealing F Lamar Odom to the Mavericks. For the "first time ever, the Lakers are clearly being guided by economics, one of the greatest franchises in sports suddenly reduced to tripping over relative pennies." But it is the "attitude dump that is strange." The team Thursday acquired G Ramon Sessions, and some people felt that Fisher "could make things uncomfortable for everyone, particularly Coach Mike Brown, by using the same sort of political savvy that helped him serve as the union boss during the recent lockout" (L.A. TIMES, 3/16).
LONE RANGER: In DC, Mark Maske cited a source as saying that the Cowboys are "unlikely to challenge the NFL's decision to cut the team's salary cap space by $10 million over the next two seasons." That would leave the Redskins, who lost $36M in cap space in the same decision, "to act alone if they choose to challenge the NFL's ruling." It remained unclear Thursday "whether the Redskins would contest the league's decision, either via an appeal to the NFL or a legal challenge." The source said that the Cowboys "probably would do nothing but that the Redskins 'might be considering some legal options'" (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 3/15).

- talabostat mesylate
The orally bioavailable mesylate salt of an amino boronic dipeptide with antineoplastic and hematopoiesis- stimulating activities. By cleaving N-terminal Xaa-Pro or Xaa-Ala residues, talabostat inhibits dipeptidyl peptidases, such as fibroblast activation protein (FAP), resulting in the stimulation of cytokine and chemokine production and specific T-cell immunity and T-cell- dependent activity. This agent may also stimulate the production of colony stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), resulting in the stimulation of hematopoiesis. Dipeptidyl peptidases are involved in the activation of polypeptide hormones and chemokines. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)

KINGSPORT - Wellmont Health System is launching a new website specifically dedicated to its partnership exploration process.
The website, www.forwardwithvision.org, is one of a series of initiatives by the health system to provide information and receive ideas or questions about the search.
The Wellmont board of directors recently narrowed the list of potential partners it was considering from six to three and said it was entering a phase of community dialogue and due diligence.
In this next phase, the Wellmont board will conduct three key initiatives:
"Wellmont is a mission-driven organization that takes pride in providing clinically superior, personal care to our friends and neighbors whom we serve," said Roger Leonard, board chairman. "As we go through this transformative time in the life of our organization and make decisions for the future, it's important to hear from our employees, physicians and community about what's most important to them."
The website will be one of a variety of tools used in this next phase. It details why Wellmont is exploring partnership options and how national changes in healthcare are impacting the Tri-Cities region. It also explains the board's vision for the future and thorough decision-making process, answers frequently asked questions, offers a "Rank our Guiding Principles" interactive tool and provides a "fact check" page where questions and rumors can be submitted and addressed.
In addition, the website will be regularly updated with the latest news about the board's process, and people will have the opportunity to sign up to receive a weekly email newsletter.

I have an all Aguilar rig that sounds great but can't cope the vintage tube vibe that I miss on certain gigs. So I'm looking for something to pair with my two DB 210 that can give the vintage rock tone. Took a brief look at the Fender 100T but haven't tried it out yet. Any other good choices? Thanks and happy holidays!!!

Product Quality and Market Size
Recent literature notes that when quality is produced with fixed costs, a high quality firm can undercut its rival's prices and may find it profitable to invest more in quality as market size grows large. As a result, a market can remain concentrated even as it grows large. When quality is produced with variable costs, by contrast, a wide range of product qualities can coexist in the market because they are offered at different prices. Larger markets will fragment and offer products with a wider range of qualities. Using US urban areas as markets, we examine the relationships between market size and product quality - and between market size and product concentration - for two industries that differ in their quality production process. We document that in the restaurants industry, where quality is produced largely with variable costs, the range of qualities on offer increases in market size, with each product maintaining a small market share. In daily newspapers, where quality is produced with fixed costs, the average quality of products increases with market size, and the market does not fragment as it grows large.

P.S We are talking about Asus Google Nexus 7 2013 (2nd Gen) 16gb WiFi Only.
Ok, so i bought a New Nexus 7 2013 with 16gb of storage. Does the storage capacity affect the whole performance of the tablet in anyway? It sucks that it doesnt have a micro sd card slot. I have a 16gb sd card on my phone i was thinking to use it on the Nexus but sadly it doesnt work that way. Im worried coz i know it isnt really 16gb , mostly when they say 16 / 32 / 8 etc , its not the absolute amount so if 16 then i would say the available is only 14gb plus the bloatware (if it has) then then ill say the only user available is 12 or 10? And does the 16gb differ from the 32gb one besides the user available storage? I hope not. Thank you in advance to the one that will answer each of my questions informatively. Cheers.

I think he means ...he likes it?
Kinda looks like one of those alphabet lines that you use to fill random text space in designs (if that makes any sense now )
You know? Like if your making an illustration that happens to have a newspaper sitting on a desk, you can't leave the paper blank or it won't look like a newspaper, but you obviously don't want to take the time to write real words on it so you just copy/paste one of those alphabet lines (the entire alphabet in one sentence) & throw in a space every so often.
Wow.....talk about over-explaining anyway, thanks.

Quotes from the Festival Yesterday:
"[Reporters] are trying to avoid taking sides in politics. That gets them in trouble. But the good thing is that in elections, in the long run each party wins about half the time. So you are naturally being neutral if you are telling the truth—basically, being honest about who's going to win at a given time. [But] that doesn't mean each election is 50-50." —Nate Silver
"The biggest barrier to problems is incrementalism. This country is inspired by bold visions." —John Bridgeland
"Shakespeare once said, 'Hell hath no fury than a bunch of alpha women pissed off at the slow pace of cancer research.'" —Katie Couric

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Juan Uribe bashed three of the six homers launched by Los Angeles Monday in the Dodgers' 8-1 victory over Arizona.
Uribe finished 4-for-4 with four RBI, connecting for solo homers in the second, third and fifth innings and adding an RBI single in the seventh.
He became the first Dodgers third baseman ever to homer three times in a game.
Adrian Gonzalez connected on a two-run blast while Andre Ethier and Hanley Ramirez each clouted a solo shot as Los Angeles recorded six homers in a nine-inning game for the first time since 2002.
Ricky Nolasco (13-9) yielded just one unearned run over 6 2/3 innings, allowing three and one walk while striking out six as the National League West-leading Dodgers reduced their magic number for winning the division to eight.
Diamondbacks starter Randall Delgado (4-6) coughed up four of the Los Angeles long balls, surrendering five runs on seven hits over just 2 2/3 innings.
Didi Gregorius got the only RBI for second-place Arizona, which fell in the first of a three-game series.
