Houston-based commercial real estate investor Boxer Property Co. has added to its North Texas holdings.
Boxer has bought the 10-story 4100 Spring Valley office building in Farmers Branch.
The 153,387-square-foot office tower is located north of LBJ Freeway and near Midway Road. Tenants in the high-rise include Panda Energy, Comerica Bank and Joint Venture Business Center.
The building was developed in 1981.
Jack Crews and Evan Stone of Jones Lang LaSalle brokered the sale. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.
Founded in 1992, Boxer Property owns more than 5 million square feet of office space in the Dallas area.
"4100 Spring Valley is another great addition to our growing Dallas Portfolio," Andre Pereira, director of acquisitions, said in a statement.

ROLLING HILLS, TEXAS. Rolling Hills is a residential community located on Farm Road 1736 about six miles northeast of Hempstead in northern Waller County. In 1965 developer E. A. Kelley purchased 775 acres of rolling woodland for the development of a subdivision. The topography inspired the name Rolling Hills Colony. C. C. McMillian became sole owner of the development in 1970. By the early 1970s, twenty-seven families already lived in the community, and a man-made lake, swimming pool, and park areas provided recreational amenities. In the 1980s the community was designated as Rolling Hills on county maps. No population figures were available in 1990 or 2000.

Aromatherapeutic Laundry Products Hard-working, naturally occurring ingredients and essential oils tough on dirt, yet gentle on fabrics & the earth.
The Basil herb has a cool, crisp scent that is said to revive the senses, clear the head and calm the nerves. All that and a sparkling clean house too!
Earth Friendly
Our products work hard for you and your home-while still being gentle on the earth, of course. Our Laundry Detergent is super concentrated for these very reasons. Its phosphate-free formula can tackle a full load with just one ounce of liquid, giving you more loads per bottle with less detergent. Concentrated formulas mean less plastic packaging and energy used in transportation, load by load. More laundry, less waste. Who can argue with that?
Begin your laundry fay by sorting clothes and linens. Check for stains and items left in the pockets (candy wrappers, lunch tickets, coins, etc.). Next, select the right water temperature. Use hot water for whites, colorfast pastels and light prints. Use warm water for permanent press clothes and jeans. Cold water works best for bright colors and fabrics that tend to fade. Then add Laundry Detergent: 1/2 capful for an ordinary load, 3/4 capful for an extra-large or particularly filthy load of clothing. Don't worry, it's easy!
Caution: Eye Irritant. Avoid eye contact. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If product gets in eyes flush with water for 15 minutes. If swallowed, drink a glassful of water. Consult physician if irritation persists.
Product ingredients are at least 97% naturally derived.

In going through and updating zone/area articles I thought of a few things that would increase the readability/flow of those articles and wanted to pass those ideas along. Since I'm working with Ashenvale at the moment, I'll use that as an example.
How it stands right now: Ashenvale
Some tweaks and changes: User:Raylan13/Sandbox
- One of the first things I did was incorporate all the Cataclysm changes into either the History or Geography sections, whichever seemed the most appropriate for that particular piece of information.
- In every zone article, the subzones in the chart at the bottom of the page are also posted in the middle of the page. The subzone chart in the middle of the page isn't updated, and it seemed redundant to have them both. While the 'out of game' subzone notes remain intact, a small note was put in to draw the reader's attention to the bottom of the page for in-game subzones.
- There are quite a few instances across the zones where pictures have been put into the page in unrelated places. Instead of scattering screenshots throughout the page, they've been moved to the bottom in 'pre-' and 'post-' Cataclysm sections. Not only does this keep them in one central area, it also allows a quick comparison between what was and what is in the game.
- Rather than have screenshots in the core of the article (minus the maps section), some png images were placed in some of the sections; this would keep things standard across all articles, with the reader drawn to sections tagged by well-known pictures - i.e. the 'travel' section with a gryphon, or the 'quest' section with an exclamation point
- A few charts were made: resources (complete with minimum skill level needed) and inhabitants by classification.
- Some sections were rearranged/renamed for better flow.
- Other sections which would fall onto zone pages would include (but aren't in Ashenvale's page): raids (in the areas of interest section), trivia and pop culture refs (in the additional information section), pre-Cataclysm videos (in the media section), and patch changes (put at the end, as usual, before the references section).
Town articles could also follow a similar flow, though some sections obviously wouldn't apply.
As I'm currently working on updating all the zones and subzones, I would have no problem making all these changes by myself. Thoughts? --Raylan13 (talk) 19:33, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't looked at your sandbox too closely, but you might not want to diverge too much from WoWWiki:Manual of Style, or at least explain why you diverged.
- Personally, I liked having the list of subzones uncollapsed in the middle of the article somewhere. Having to go to the bottom (that really has no TOC link) and then uncollapse the zone navigation template is awkward. Maybe we could standardize the zone template so you could transclude the subzone list into a section if the zone template appeared on the zone name page.
- I would move PvP into Areas of Interest.
- Also, you might want to start putting your philosophy and structure in Help:Location articles (← why isn't this a red link?).
- Those are my initial thoughts. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 5:21 PM PST 5 Jan 2011
- It does seem to make more sense to move the PvP section into the Areas of interest. I moved it up there in the sandbox version and also restored the subzone table in the center of the page with the updated locations. It would seem to make the most sense to not include the navbox at the bottom of zone pages only, as it would be redundant information (but it should, of course, be put on every subzone page). I'll look into transclusion.
- I looked over the manual of style and it appears I'm still within those guidelines, with the exception of the headings. I went ahead and corrected that as well. I'll put a rough outline in the help article.
- Thanks, as always. Raylan13 (talk) 16:19, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
Went ahead and got some help tweaking that middle subregions section. It never showed the 'cat' symbols before, so I don't know that it's terribly important it does it now. We can always keep the subregions navbox at the bottom in case anyone wants to look at that on the zone page.Raylan13 (talk) 17:58, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Looks good. I'll probably start going through the zone templates as my next big project. At some point I'll remove all the icons and make a pre-Cataclysm zone template called "-old" for each zone. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 10:06 AM PST 6 Jan 2011
- Turns out I'll have to do the subzone chart in the middle of the page by hand - for some reason using the dpl disabled listing the references. Seems to be a bug, but not a big deal to do by hand. Since it's just a copy+paste of the subzone template at the bottom of the page, I went ahead and removed the navbox from the zone pages (only) since it would be redundant. I'll just have to go back and update when you go through the zone templates. Raylan13 (talk) 20:54, January 6, 2011 (UTC)
- You're trying to be too fancy. See what I did with Arathi_Highlands#Maps_and_subregions. I re-use the zone template {{Arathi Highlands}}. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 7:26 PM PST 7 Jan 2011
- Oh, nice. I'll be using that - thank you for figuring that out. Raylan13 (talk) 03:33, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Most of the zone templates are not modified to work this way, so look at the changes I made to {{Arathi Highlands}}. -- Fandyllic (talk · contr) 9:10 AM PST 10 Jan 2011
- Oh, nice. I'll be using that - thank you for figuring that out. Raylan13 (talk) 03:33, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Wall knocked down to enlarge room and they were able to fit new doors to exisiting wardrobe in that room.Wardrobes arrived when they said and the fitted on time and all fitted in one day, he left everything clean and rubbish altogehter for disposal.Highly recommended
As the co shopping guide I thought I should let you all know what I like to see when reading all your shopping reviews.
Now as a guide I am required to read ALL the reviews in the shopping category. This is no easy task when some members post twenty reviews in my category in the space of half an hour. This brings my brain to mush and distracts me from finding the hidden gems of reviews hiding between all the churn.
I'm going to base this review on some Do's and Don'ts of what I look for when I am reading the shopping reviews.
** Do **
- Do make sure you have actually purchased something from the shop you're reviewing. Since I have been the guide for this category I have become used to spotting which members are writing about a shop when they haven't been in it let alone purchased something from it.
- Do make sure you are giving me your opinion on the whole experience of the shop, instead of just giving us the history of the shop and what you can buy in there. I need to know how the experience was from start to finish as well as knowing what I can expect to buy.
- Do tell me how easy it was to buy or order something. If the shop is online then how easy it is to make your order and how quickly the delivery was, is very important to consumers wanting to buy that last minute present.
- Do tell me if you can get discounts for buying more than one item at a time. For example when you shop online you can often get better offers than when you shop in store, and there are always postage discounts to be found if you look.
** Don't **
- Don't just give me the fact of a shop as I think by now we all know what a shop such as Sainsbury's sell, but we need to know what you think about it as well.
- Don't give me loads of prices for different items in the shop; just a guideline will be fine as prices change all the time.
- Don't make all your shopping reviews follow the same template. A review about a supermarket will not be anywhere near the same as a review about a clothing store.
- Don't cram all the information into the minimum 150 words as I know you probably haven't even shopped there when I see these reviews.
The above are just a few pointers to hopefully get you started if you're stuck on what to put in your shopping review.
Shopping reviews are very important on this site as consumers need to know where they can go to get a good deal, and also where they know they'll get good customer service.
If you are writing a bad review, state why it was bad, but remember not everyone will have the same experience as you, and you may have just been unlucky as we all have at times.
Enjoy the shopping and telling us about your experiences.
When I read a shopping review there are a few things that I want to find out about a retailer that are important to me. The first one is quite difficult for some people to include in their review because I really want to know about how the company deals with complaints and in particular returned items as this may be something that we all could experience however most people will write a review of either an online or offline retailer without having needed to make a complaint. This does not mean that I want to read about those nightmare one off experiences where everything went wrong as those are often written in the heat of the moment when the blood is boiling and as such turn into a rant.
The level of service are important to me particularly with an offline store and I want to know about any technical advice staff are able to offer a prospective purchaser.
With an online shopping review then it is the ease of navigation around the site and the level of securty in place when it comes to handing over your payment details that are important to me as you want to be sure that five minutes after making your purchase your card is not being cloned and buying some bloke in Hong Kong a new wardrobe and stereo system.
Naturally some comment on the range of products on offer, their relative quality and the competitiveness of the retailer on price are also relevant factors to be built into a review.
In clde all of that and you are pretty much guaranteed a good number of VU ratings on the site and maybe even a crown if you attract enough nominations.
Shopping reviews could be considered both the bane and joy of my dooyoo life. As Shopping Guide I have sifted through hundreds, perhaps even thousands of reviews. They can range from the "Argos, it is great [insert 150 words of filler] The End" reviews to the "I went to Poundland and it was two hundred and eight steps from my front door, I got the number ten bus..." epic reviews. Both these extremes are as bad as each other in my opinion and the good review will not be at either ends of these scales.
However, among the increasing amount of reviews that fit the above model there are some good reviews to be found. The Shopping category is one of the most heavily populated on dooyoo and there are several good writers out there whose opinion I really enjoy. You will know if I found your review exceptional because I will tell you so and if you get a Very Useful from me then your review has covered the majority of the things I would need to know. No one can cover everything in a review and my first piece of advice would be not to try to. Too many members become hung up on describing everything for every potential consumer. This is the way to madness people!
In order to write a good Shopping review I would firstly try and dispel any thoughts of potential ratings. If you are not a parent why on earth are you going into detail on the Parent and Child changing facilities? Mention they are there, say you have no need to use them and move on. Trying to fit some sort of ideal review template is not the best way to make a review flow and it is easy to read between the lines and see that you have not really used the facilities.
So, ideal review template binned? Check. Next thing I think of is what category I am writing in. There is obviously a big difference between online and offline shops and even within these sub categories there are differences. Think about your experience with the shop or centre you are describing and what you consider important.
A good example of this is when you are supermarket shopping. For me it is important that the store has an easy to follow layout, things are easy to find, their is plenty of variety and the price is competitive. I like to be able to push my trolley around without needing the strength of Atlas and I like to see plenty of staff milling about in case I have any questions. All these things would go into any review of the supermarket I decided to write. You might include some of these but may have considerations of your own such as toilet facilities or how good they are at the checkout. This does not make your review any less valid than mine and in fact you are more likely to get a VU from me for approaching your review in a way I had not though of. Remember my considerations as a consumer will not be the same as yours, as long as you are speaking from experience you cannot go wrong.
Talking of experience, one thing I do not need to read about in a shopping review is lists upon lists of opening times, prices and customer service numbers. If you really feel that any of these things are of use then shove them at the bottom were I can ignore them. After all details such as these are nothing I cannot find on a shops front door or their website. Tell me about the customer service good or bad, I don't need a run down of what the sexy lad in aisle nine was wearing.
This brings me onto length (oo er). Size is not everything you know. I have read crown worthy reviews that are 1700 words and other reviews that are 700 words that are just as crown worthy. It is not the size but what you do with it! If you can write a short review that includes everything you think it needs to then great, if you have more to say then just as great as far as I am concerned. There is no such thing as an optimal length for a review but I would say you will find it hard to do a huge shopping centre justice in 150 words and likewise do you really need to wax lyrical for 500 about the toilets in Ikea before you have told me how cheap the wardrobes are? Keep your information consumer focused, pertinent and stay away from ranting about the latest political crisis. I will appreciate it if you tell me the petrol is cheap in Asda, I won't if you tell me it is dear because of the policies of the British government and rising oil prices in the Middle East! That is what Speakers Corner is for.
I have spoken already about the different sub categories needing a different approach I would say this is true but don't be scared off by a different category. Members are often put of by an online shopping review believing it needs special consideration. However, for those who find it difficult to write about website layout etc why not think of it in the same way as if you are writing in the offline category? After all shopping virtually has many of the same considerations. Is your item easy to find? Can you pay for it easily? Is it easy to find help if you become lost or need customer services? If you apply the same thought process to online shopping as you do to offline you will find that you have soon got to grips with how cluttered a front page is and whether a site accepts paypal or not. If you ordered from Argos and opted for delivery you would write about whether it arrived on time and how cheap it was. Online shopping is no different really.
Before you start losing the will to live perhaps I should start to wrap things up with a quick plug for the dooyoo community Guides. If you are finding it difficult to write in any category we are here to help and will not bite you head off for asking any question no matter how daft you think it is. As the co-shopping Guide I am woefully underused and would for members with any doubts or queries to contact me. Remember whatever your reviews rating as long as you write your experience you are helping fellow consumers and members. Have a read of what others have written in the category for inspiration but remember their reviews are not necessarily better than yours just different. There is no one correct reviewing style and you will not be punished for developing your own. In fact I for one will applaud you.
So, go on get writing. I look forward to reading your wonderful reviews in the shopping category.
Workout could boost good cholesterol in your body.Longer workouts that last more than an hour couls boost your good cholesterol based on my research to ten of my friends.Fatty substance in human and animal are called cholesterol.At least 80% of our cholesterol are manufactured by our liver.The other are from the food that we take.There are two types of cholesterol - good and bad. While too much bad cholesterol can cause heart disease, good cholesterol helps to remove bad cholesterol from the walls of arteries and transports it to the liver for elimination.
Unlike low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol, a rise in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or good cholesterol is considered positive for heart health.At least two hours per week of aerobic exercise such as walking, biking, or swimming, preferably in sessions lasting for more than half an hour, may boost the good cholesterol, said new research review published in the Japanese Archives of Internal Medicine.
However, the review added that brief bouts of exercise might not be that helpful.Satoru Kodama and other researchers at the University of Tokyo pooled data from 25 studies on aerobic exercise and HDL cholesterol. Together, the studies included some 1,400 adults, some of whom were assigned to get aerobic exercise for at least eight weeks. The participants were not asked to diet.On an average, the participants worked out nearly four times per week, with each workout lasting for about 40 minutes.Participants who got at least two hours per week of aerobic exercise had a modest rise in their good cholesterol level, reported health portal WebMD.Based on other research, the reviewers estimate that the gains in HDL cholesterol levels translate to a 5 percent drop in men's heart disease risk and more than a 7 percent drop in women's heart disease risk.This is potentially of substantial importance in public health,said the researchers. However, they added that the benefit from exercise might be less than that from drugs that boost HDL cholesterol.thats all about my review based on my reseach and other.
Just imagine that you're having a chat to a friend. "Have you been into that new shop in the High Street?" Well, your reply is going to be the sort of thing that people will want to read in a Shopping Opinion. The first point that you're likely to talk about is what the shop sells. This doesn't need to be an item-by-item description, but the sort of broad summary you would give your friend. "They have a brilliant range of sports clothing but they don't have very much in the way of trainers" or "They have newspapers, sweets, greetings cards and even a few basic groceries". I'm always surprised when I read Shopping opinions and when I've finished I'm not really certain what it is the shop sells! What would you talk about next? Well, I'd probably want to know about the feel of the shop. Is it pleasantly laid out so that it's easy to find what you want, or do you get the feeling that you're in a jumble sale rummage? Is there loud music playing? Is it brightly lit or is there strobe lighting, which some people don't like? What I don't need to know is that when you go into Tesco the Fruit and Veg is on the left and Customer Services is on the right. If it's a chain of shops each one is likely to be different and these are the obvious things that you'll see for yourself as soon as you've negotiated the automatic doors. The precise positioning of the bananas is not the sort of thing that makes up your mind as to whether or not you want to go to a shop. This might be a reasonable time, though, to mention if there's any problem for disabled people, such as limited parking nearby or steps to be negotiated. I'd probably talk about quality and prices together. "The dresses are beautifully made, but cost around £50 to £75" tells me more about the shop than "you need to take out a mortgage before you go" because what is ex
pensive to me might not be expensive to you, or vice-versa. If it's cheap, is it cheap and cheerful or cheap and nasty? Sometimes you shop for goods that you don't need to last for ever, but is it value for money? If the shop sells branded goods, say CDs or washing machines, a price comparison is useful. Are they available more cheaply elsewhere or do the prices seem reasonable? It's always useful to know about stock levels. Does the shop run out of popular items? There's a chemist in a town near to me who waits to run out of certain things before he reorders. That's worth knowing so that you can ring up before you waste a journey. It's even more useful if you provide a phone number! Is it the sort of shop that buys a job lot of something and once they've sold them there won't be any more? I like to know about the customer service too. Are the staff generally pleasant and able to help or do they seem harried and uninterested? Yes, I know you can get someone who's having a bad day, but it will generally be obvious if someone is out of kilter with the rest of the staff or if they're all waiting for an opportunity to knife the owner in the back. What's the policy on returns? Are they helpful if the toaster turns out to be faulty or do they do their best to make you feel that it's not worth taking something back? Will they do an exchange if you get the skirt home and it doesn't fit? Will they refund your money? Money, ah, yes, money. It's always good to know which pieces of plastic will be accepted. There's nothing more embarrassing than buying lots of things in a shop and then finding that they like cash, might stretch to a cheque but won't entertain the only means of payment which you have with you, namely your credit card. A lot of shops these days have a web site. If you're suggesting an item to dooyoo that you'd like included on the site
please say if you can find a web site. It does make the category manager's job much easier. It's also worth mentioning the address in your opinion with brief details of what's on the site. Millions of people are now shopping online for all sorts of things. If you're reviewing an online shop many of the points which we've covered for the High Street shop will also be relevant, but there are additional points to consider. Let's have another chat with our friend. If you asked your friend -about 'whatascam.com' what would you want to hear about? Would you be riveted by the description of the interesting black on white colour scheme and the fact that the navigation bars are on the left? Or would you want to talk about something that wouldn't be immediately evident as soon as you logged on to the site? I'd want to know if the navigation was simple ? would I be able to find my way around easily. I'd want to know too if there were problems, such as the major supermarket that, the last time I looked, had items on their homepage which led you up a blind alley. Speed of loading is useful to know too. For those people who pay for their net access by the minute the fact that pages take an age to load can be very relevant. A lot of people worry about security when buying over the internet and it's something I'd always ask about although I must confess that some of the finer details go over my head. Most importantly, I'd want to know if there didn't appear to be any! I'd also want to know if there wasn't a physical address for the retailer. I'd want to know if the site is regularly updated. A popular wine retailer had, in April, an offer on its homepage which expired on 31 January 2002. There's the plant retailer, too, who currently tells you that it's too late to order plants for Mother's Day. That sort of thing tells me that a site isn't car
ed for, isn't busy and can indicate that all is not well in other areas. The main difference between buying from the High Street shop and over the internet is that the goods have got to be sent to you and the costs of postage and packing can mean that what seems like a bargain when you look at the price isn't quite so good when you add on the P&P. Some sites charge an outrageous amount whilst others absorb the cost themselves. Worst of all some sites don't make the charge clear until you reach the checkout stage, so I'd be very grateful to someone who told me about it before I'd wasted time ordering something. Delivery times are important too, along with the convenience of the delivery. Does "immediately available" actually mean "it will be available immediately we get some in stock but we'll still charge your credit card today"? Certain sites are notorious for saying that they have goods in stock when they haven't. Did you have difficulty arranging to get the parcel delivered to your home at a convenient time? I know this is down to the carrier, but it's the retailer who chooses which carrier to use, not the other way round. There are one or two other things which it would be useful to know. If necessary can you telephone someone? Is an e mail address given? I'm always reluctant to deal with any site which doesn't allow me any contact other than to place an order. What do you do if things go wrong? It's always disheartening to have to return goods (possibly at your own expense?) and worst of all is the worry that you're going to have difficulty in getting your money back. If you've returned goods you'll be able to speak about this from first-hand experience, but if not, some indication of the returns policy (or lack of it!) on the site is going to help me to decide whether or not I want to take the risk. In everything I've said her
e I've assumed that you've read the general advice on writing opinions, which you'll find at Home > Internet > Information > Reference > dooyoo.co.uk > Tips on writing good opinions > The site in general. You have read some of the opinions there, haven't you? Good. There's only two other points I'd like to make. The first is that I'd expect my friend to tell me if he was in any way involved with that new shop in the High Street or with whatascam.com. I'd also expect him to tell me if he was involved with a competitor. I'd still be interested in what he had to say, but I'd like to know if he had a personal bias. The final point is that what really interests me is your opinion - your views on your experiences with a particular retailer. Yes, facts are necessary, but what I really want to know is what you thought about them, how they affected you. Details and information have never been as freely available as they are now, but good, honest opinion is still rare.

Generation gap will be created from Obamacare
Just as it seemed Obamacare couldn't look much worse, a new study explains how it will quickly create a chasm between young and old.
The study, by the National Center for Public Policy Research, shows how The Great Divider's health care overhaul will divide the old and young by depriving millions of young people the subsidies they were promised. In denuding younger Americans their subsidies, Obamacare will discourage them from buying insurance and undermine the economic viability of the program.
"Officially, the Obamacare exchanges are supposed to give a subsidy to everyone making 400 percent of the federal poverty level or below," said David Hogberg, a health care policy analyst and co-author of the study. "Yet we've found that for most people age 18-34, the subsidies disappear well before that 400 percent level."
The study examined the premium data for exchanges of 14 states and Washington, D.C. In 10 of the exchanges, subsidies disappear for 100 percent of individuals ages 18-34 before they earn just 300 percent of the federal poverty level. That's about $34,470 annually for a single person.
For that demographic, one can easily see how Obamacare does nothing more than mandate the purchase of health insurance that has always been available on the open market.
"This is critical information because it tells us that a population that is crucial to the proper functioning of the Obamacare exchanges, those 18-34, will be paying full price for their premiums," said Hogberg. "This will give them considerable incentive to forego insurance and just pay the individual mandate fine."
Meanwhile, the same health care law that discourages participation by young, healthy wage earners encourages it among those who will put more strain on the system. The study found that most exchanges will subsidize individuals age 52 and up who earn 400 percent of the federal poverty level, about $46,000 a year.
Politicians sold us an illusion that government would magically create affordable health care access for all. Instead, it's just another big tax on the young to subsidize the poor planning and excesses of older generations. It is more forced redistribution of wealth and nothing more. It is another of Obama's divisive agendas that take from one group and give to another.
"On balance, insurance on the exchanges is a much better deal for older and sicker people," said Sean Parnell, president of Impact Policy Management, a public policy consulting firm. "An insurance system that discourages young people from buying coverage but encourages older people is likely headed for a death spiral.
"A death spiral occurs when younger and healthier people needed to stabilize the risk pool don't sign up for insurance. Premiums for those who do purchase insurance will climb. The higher premiums encourage even more young and healthy people to drop insurance as premiums become less affordable. This eventually leads to a rising number of uninsured while those who remain insured are only the sickest, with the highest healthcare costs."
In other words, we'll have a surplus of takers and a shortage of givers. It's the type of ingenious public policy we get from legislators so loyal to one man and party they shrugged off reading the bill they approved.
Worst of all, the Obamacare soak-the-young tax hike has young people fighting for their jobs. Because the law places unaffordable, unfunded mandates on companies, employers throughout the country are converting countless full-time jobs into part-time jobs.
Even if we consider the jobs-killing bills crafted by Colorado's two recalled state senators, it's hard to imagine a law more divisive and destructive than The Great Divider's Obamacare.

Your say: buying cars online
The foray into the world of buying new cars through the internet revealed a whole host of different websites offering different deals.
Now, your experiences reveal that online car buying is somewhat of a lottery.
For every happy customer boasting of fast, efficient purchases and ample savings, there seemed to be a frustrated one bemoaning long delays and lost money.
Here are just a handful of your experiences:
Edward Hasted
"Huge discounts are available against UK prices. I found the service excellent and worth the eight week wait."
"Not only did my partner's car take six months to arrive, but when he went to find out why they hadn't contacted him to pick it up, he found that the company had gone bankrupt. He has no idea where his car is and has lost all of his money."
Graeme Stepney
"I bought a Mazda MX5 through abroadbean.com. The service was great and the car is even better. I saved just over Ł4,000 and I got it within eight weeks of ordering. The process was clear and easy to follow."
"I would not recommend Virgin Cars to anybody...I have now cancelled my order due to the list of problems. They had Ł1,800 from me for about three months and they still hadn't ordered the car from the main dealer.
"The delivery was done after six months compared with 3-4 months from a UK dealer. Two months difference when I saved Ł4,500. If someone asks if it is worth the wait, then the answer is YES and I will do it again."
Alan Lovejoy
"I paid Broadspeed to be introduced to a VW dealer in Denmark. Broadspeed took my money but referred me to an importer they knew there were problems with! There should be a professional body to regulate these firms."
"Whilst I had tried a number of web sites offering numerous discounts, I decided that if you are going to import a car you might as well do it yourself. I located a dealer in Belgium via the internet, dealt with the seller directly and 8 weeks later had my car. Savings offered by the web sites ranged from Ł1,500 to Ł2,500, I managed to save near on Ł5000, purely by spending a little more time and effort.
"Now I am living and working in Switzerland, I can see first hand how much we are being ripped off in the UK."
"I have ordered and paid for a car via Virgincars. The process, started in October last year has been extremely frustrating.
"Virgin requested the full purchase price for my car in December, on the basis of delivery 'within fourteen days or so' and I still await a delivery date. I have requested return of my funds as they are not contractually entitled to the money, and they ignore my requests. "
We have two cars on order, both full UK specification, delivered to our door. Each car will be over Ł3000 cheaper than the best prices we could get from any local dealers. The car from Virgin (a Nissan) is due on schedule 2 weeks from now, a total wait of 4 months.
The other, a Toyota from OneSwoop, is due in 3 months, a total wait of 6 months.
We are prepared to wait this long because of the big savings. It would seem that the high prices in this country are set by the manufacturers, leaving the dealers little scope for discounting.

Corn could be "tremendous" if needed rain arrives soon
MORRIS - Minnesota corn was in excellent shape, but two weeks of dry weather during a critical stage of the crop's development is threatening a potentially tremendous crop.
"The corn looks as good as it's looked in a long time," said George Nelson, a crop scientist with the West Central Research and Outreach Center.
This year's corn crop is also ahead of normal, thanks to a dry and warm April and May. And up until the drought conditions that began two weeks ago, the area was also receiving decent and regular rainfall.
"The old-timers say 'knee high by the fourth of July,' but we were nearly knee high by the fourth of June," said Paul Groneberg, crop consultant with Centrol Crop Consulting.
Right now, corn in the area is tasseling and silking, but needs rain to finish developing.
"The crop is at such a critical stage now ... the dryness right now will cut back on yield the fastest of any stage of the corn," said Groneberg.
"With a timely rain, the corn could be a tremendous crop," said Nelson.
U.S. Drought Monitor data released last week shows that Minnesota and Iowa are experiencing abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions, but are faring better than other major corn-producing states.
The drought conditions were reflected in the July 8 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's national crop condition report. Statewide temperatures in Minnesota were almost nine degrees above normal, and topsoil moisture was being depleted.
At that time, 62 percent of Minnesota's corn was rated in good condition, and 15 percent was in excellent condition.

MONTREAL -- Top prospects John Tavares and Victor Hedman sat beside each other on a podium yesterday. Side by side. Much hype has following them, but they're being tabbed as the No. 1 and 2 picks, not necessarily in that order, in tonight's NHL draft.
Or maybe they'll be second and third, if you believe Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke.
While New York Islanders GM Garth Snow isn't saying what he'll do, Burke predicted last night on TSN's Off the Record that Brampton's Matt Duchene will be tops.
"I think they will take a forward, until recently I thought they were going to take Hedman," said Burke. "But I think they will pick a forward and it will be Duchene."
A winter of intrigue and speculation will finally come to a close when the Isles announce who they're going to take with the top pick just after 7 p.m. But the NHL's director of central scouting E.J. McGuire doesn't hesitate when it comes to who Snow should select.
"John Tavares," said McGuire, when asked who he would take. "I like the offence. I like the forwards. It's not a knock on (Hedman). I was just saying that (Tavares) is a rock around which you build a franchise. He can bring offence to the game as well.
"(Tavares) proved this year in junior that he is deserving of the No. 1 selection. He is probably better than any other player in the draft from the top of circle down at being a threat to score."
Tavares said he isn't bothered by the debate.
"There are a lot of great players in this draft," said Tavares, 18, who set a career OHL goal-scoring record with 215 goals in 247 games. "Especially a guy like Victor. Guys with his size (6-foot-6) and his speed for a defenceman are very rare. He brings a lot to the table.
"A lot of the other guys are very good players as well. It's just a great year for the draft and it's an honour to be at the top of the list with a lot of these guys."
The decision is going to come down to whether the Islanders want to build around a franchise forward who had 104 points with London and Oshawa last season or a blueliner who many scouts call "tough, smart" and in the mould of Boston's Zdeno Chara.
Hedman said he knows who he would select.
"Of course, I'm going to be cheering for the defenceman," Hedman said with a smile. "Teams need different kinds of players. You can build around a centre or a defenceman. It's up to the team. I obviously feel it's good to have an alert defence and it's good to build the team around that area."
While Burke has been aggressive in trying to move up from his No. 7 selection in the draft, he hasn't found any takers. There is a sense the Tampa Bay Lightning might be willing to move the No. 2 pick.
The Leafs and San Jose Sharks have talked about 26-year-old Ryan Clowe, the hard-charging power forward who had 22 goals and 30 assists for the Sharks last season. The Leafs rejected the Sharks' offer of Clowe for the No. 7 pick. The Leafs also got what they called a "significant offer for Tomas Kaberle.

A SPRAWLING forested estate of graceful waterways and summer houses - half the size of Monaco but just one hour's drive from Kiev -stands as a symbol of the folly of Ukraine's fugitive president.
Even the most cynical Ukrainians, who have streamed in to see Viktor Yanukovich's luxury estate, rubbed their eyes in disbelief when they were confronted by the scale of the opulence he built around him and kept secret from the outside world.
There were Australian and African ostriches, stretching their legs. Deer and billy goats - their cages neatly labelled - were hunkered down, slightly alarmed at the number of sudden visitors.
Loading article content
All this in a country where the average salary is less than £300 a month.
Mr Yanukovich, 63, relaxed at weekends in luxury behind high walls patrolled by security guards.
When the dream ended and his staff fled the Gatsby-like mansion in the early hours of Saturday, the Kiev protest movement that had opposed him invited Ukrainians to go to see the opulence Mr Yanukovich lived in.
What they saw reflected more the inflated dreams of a Middle East potentate - with all the attendant obsessions with security - rather than a rough-hewn man from gritty eastern Ukraine who got to the top the hard way.
The presence of ostriches - labels said they were from Australia, Africa and South America - suggested a weakness for "nouveau riche" status symbols.

OUTMartín Prado 3B MIA 5 years ago
OUTMartín Prado
The Diamondbacks are "confident" they can work out a long-term extension with newly-acquired third baseman Martin Prado, according to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler.
The two sides have already had discussions about a new deal. Prado, who turned 29 years old in October, is currently scheduled to become a free agent after the 2013 season. He hit .301/.359/.438 with 10 homers, 70 RBI and 17 steals in 156 games last summer for the Braves and was moved Thursday in the seven-player Justin Upton trade. Prado is likely to be expensive.

Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul are together in China again, and though it's too early for a USAB reunion on the site of their 2008 Olympic gold medal win, these two are clearly united by a mission handed down from their US-based sponsor. Their challenge: let the 300 million Chinese basketball players know what we in the States see/feel when we encounter the Jumpman. We just showed you the Melo M7 Advance and now here's the 'Chinese Mask' colorway for Paul's Jordan CP3.IV. These joints mix the primary shades of pigment with a white midsole and side panel for a bright and youthful look, and you can find a few pairs available now from Kicks-crew.

There are books that sneak up on you, and I'd put Cow Boy: A Boy and His Horse in that category. On its surface it looks like a cute kid's book, with a 10-year old boy dressed up like a cowboy holding what looks like a toy gun. I challenge you to read this book, though, and not find yourself utterly captivated. Nate Cosby and Chris Eliopoulos have created a graphic novel that slowly but surely pulls you in, turning what at first appears to be a one-note joke into a deeply-affecting story about the bonds of family.
Coy Boy: A Boy and His Horse gives us Boyd Linney, a young boy who's hunting down a series of criminals and turning them in for their bounty. At first, the gimmick seems simple: Boyd's just 10 years old and his shotgun looks like a hobby horse. As he gruff-talks his way through the first town holding one of his targets, you find yourself chuckling along with Cosby's script. Boyd talks like someone four times his age, with a gruff attitude and a no-holds-barred drive. Then you meet the first of the criminals that Boyd's chasing after and the book takes a sudden turn to something holding a bit more drama than it initially seemed.
Cosby's story for Cow Boy is one that gets progressively sadder despite the humor that surrounds individual moments within the script. (This is, after all, a comic where Boyd is able to sneak into a saloon keeper's office by climbing inside a woman's bustle.) As the initial reveal shows us, we're reading a book about a situation so bad that a young boy has to hunt down and bring to justice his entire family. With each family member captured and hauled in, it becomes increasingly clear that Boyd is completely alone in the world, even though he's just a kid who has a living family. Still, it's hard not to laugh when, upon being asked if he's going to cause a ruckus, little Boyd replies, "I do not. But the byproduct of my intentions could well lead to ruckus." He's adorably cute even as he spits out lines that John Wayne would be proud of.
That cuteness is no small part thanks to Eliopoulos, whose art is probably best known from the all-ages Franklin Richards comics that Marvel used to publish. It's a clean, jaunty style; little pools of black ink for eyes, a pert nose, small round mouth. Watching Boyd's short stature struggling to clamber up onto a rocking chair is the sort of moment where you know that Eliopoulos is the right man for this job. Boyd is disarmingly cute, but he's also immensely dangerous thanks to Eliopoulos. Don't let that cuteness distract you, though; there's also a lot of great storytelling. He knows when to focus on his main character, when to switch the viewpoint to a specific action (like a tight close-up on his hands loading shotgun shells while continuing to talk), and when to go for something entirely differently. It's a good control of the visual look of the book, and I appreciate that Eliopoulos doesn't use "all ages book" as an excuse for any short cuts.
There are four additional short stories included in Cow Boy: A Boy and His Horse by some strong creators (Roger Langridge, Brian Clevenger, Scott Wegener, Mitch Gerads, Colleen Coover, and Mike Maihack) and while I enjoyed all of them, I must admit that I'd have actually been happier without them. I adore new comics by people like Langridge or Coover, so to have me getting antsy between each chapter as we would temporarily cut away to a new two- or three-page story, that says a lot about how good a job that Cosby and Eliopoulos performed here. Cow Boy: A Boy and His Horse is one of my favorite comics of the year so far, easily. Highly recommended, and then some. I'm already on board for the sequel, whenever that might be.

text: Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Hey everybody! As an archaeologist, I am always on the lookout for new cultural-historical themes, and new exotic global locales... In the last few years, we have gotten: 1) realistic Meso-American temples with Indiana Jones, 2) a beautiful new Arabian theme with Prince of Persia, and 3) an awesome revived Egyptian theme with Pharaoh's Quest... Is there any hard evidence for more archaeological or exotic cultural themes planned for the near future, e.g.: 1) An Ancient Greek or Roman theme, using the new fluted-ionic-column piece seen in the new Atlantis set "The Temple of Atlantis" (7985)? 2) More Japanese castles or Zen gardens, perhaps as part of the new NinjaGo theme, or taken from the Lego Universe video game? 3) New Polynesian locales or similar exotic locales, as part of the recently announced "Pirates of the Caribbean" sets? Or any others...? P.S. - I realize that a lot of these were put out in various incarnations around the late 90's while I was in Grad School, but the more recent generation of sets are all definitely much more realistic, have much more naturalistic color schemes, and have way more unique and accurate weapons and artifacts! What can we expect to see in the future? ***** Edited November 24, 2010 by The Real Indiana Jones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

text: Injury can't stop Texas bowler at 2014 USBC Open Matt Cannizzaro March 28, 2014 RENO, Nev. - William Hawkins of Houston was in such pain after his first game of singles at the United States Bowling Congress Open Championships that he considered dropping out.Instead, the 51-year-old right-hander decided to shorten his approach and fight through the excruciating knee pain, and his perseverance paid off as he moved into the Classified Singles lead with a 669 series at the National Bowling Stadium on Friday. Kent Delaney of Webster, S.D., previously held the lead with 616."I felt a pop during the first game of singles, so I shortened my approach, and it helped," said Hawkins, who rolled games of 167, 247 and 255 in singles. "I've never been a quitter. I came here to bowl, so I kept going."Hawkins had his left knee replaced in August, but an infection set in, forcing another procedure in December to put in an antibiotic spacer. He's essentially working with half a knee until the infection subsides and they can go back in and fully replace everything. He also had his right knee replaced a few years ago.While preparing for this year's visit to Reno, his second tournament appearance, Hawkins further injured his knee and almost didn't make the trip. "I hyperextended it while trying to come back and get into the groove of things, and I almost passed out from the pain," said Hawkins, who made his tournament debut at the NBS last year. "I always wanted to come, but I wasn't sure if I'd physically be able to. I didn't want to hurt the team."While his preparation only included one league session each week, his progress was steady. The first week back, he rolled a 300 series. His second week, he was in the 400s. In his third week back on the lanes, he broke 500 and joked that he would be warmed up just in time for the Open Championships.Hawkins and his teammates are Shriners, and their philanthropic responsibilities, including their upcoming Shrine circus, will keep them distracted from the leaderboards at the 2014 Open Championships, which will run until July 13.To be eligible for the Classified Division, a competitor must have an entering average of 180 or below.Hawkins added a 572 series in team and 493 in doubles for a 1,734 all-events total. He is second in Classified All-Events behind Mark Bylander of Vergas, Minn., who leads with 1,761.Visit us on Facebook at the official USBC Open/Women's Championships page.Presenting sponsors for the 2014 USBC Open Championships include Circus Circus Reno, Eldorado Hotel Casino Reno and Silver Legacy Resort Casino Reno.

Local FBI investigators helped indict 14 suspects accused of stealing more than one million dollars from casinos in California and Nevada through a clever fraud scheme dubbed "Gone in 60 Seconds."
According to officials, the suspects were allegedly able to confuse the banking system by finding a bank security gap. Investigators said the suspects took advantage of a loophole in the Citibank system.
Officials said the suspects would open accounts at various Citibanks all over Southern California, including here in San Diego. They would allegedly deposit $1,000 in each account and then head to Indian gaming casinos like Pechanga and Las Vegas casinos including the Wynn and Tropicana.
At the casinos, the suspects would hit cash advance kiosks and withdraw money.
"And then they exploited a gap in Citibank's security protocols to substantially overdraw those accounts," explained Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Coyle.
Because of that loophole, a suspect could make multiple withdrawals for the same amount of money. Investigators said each withdrawal they made was for about $9,000.
As long as it happened within 60 seconds, all of those withdrawals would count as duplicate transactions. The suspect could then overdraw the account by tens of thousands of dollars.
"Citibank would treat multiple identical transactions within this window, as being duplicates of one another and so it wouldn't recognize that the accounts were being overdrawn at the time the transactions were taking place," explained Coyle.
The suspect would then take the cash receipts to a cashier and collect all the money.
Coyle said that security gap allowed the suspects, who are mostly from the Los Angeles area, to steal more than $1 million over an eight-month period. Prosecutors said none of the illegal transactions happened at any casinos in San Diego County.
The suspect would then take the cash receipts to a cashier and collect all the money.
"Some of that cash appears to have been used to gamble at casinos where the fraud was conducted or nearby casinos, such was the volume of the gambling that they were comped free rooms at the casinos," said Coyle.
But FBI agents said there was one problem in the scheme: the suspects used their real names to open those Citibank accounts, and that's ultimately what led investigators to them.
FBI agents say that loophole in the Citibank system has now been closed.
Authorities have already apprehended 13 suspects involved in the "Gone in 60 Seconds" scheme, but are still looking to arrest one more suspect, 58-year-old Levon Karamyan.
Anyone with information on this case, or tips on Karamyan's whereabouts, is urged contact the FBI.

Reducing tillage for some Central Great Plains crops could help conserve water and reduce losses caused by climate change, according to studies at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Research leader Laj Ahuja and others at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Agricultural Systems Research Unit at Fort Collins, Colo., superimposed climate projections onto 15 to 17 years of field data to see how future crop yields might be affected.
ARS is USDA's chief intramural scientific research agency, and this work supports the USDA priority of responding to climate change.
The field data was collected at the ARS Central Great Plains Research Station in Akron, Colo. The projections included an increase in equivalent atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels from 380 parts per million by volume (ppmv) in 2005 to 550 ppmv in 2050.
The projections also included a 5-degree Fahrenheit increase in summer temperatures in Colorado from 2005 to 2050. The ARS scientists used these projections to calculate a linear increase of CO2 and temperature from 2050 to 2100.
Ahuja's team used the Root Zone Water Quality Model (version 2) for crop rotations of wheat-fallow, wheat-corn-fallow, and wheat-corn-millet to see how yields might be affected in the future.
They simulated different combinations of three climate change projections: rising CO2 levels, rising temperatures, and a shift in precipitation from late spring and summer to fall and winter. They ran the model with the projected climate for each of the 15 to 17 years of field crop data for each cropping system.
When the researchers used all three climate factors to generate yield projections from 2005 to 2100, the yield estimates for the three cropping systems dropped over time. Declines in corn and millet yields were more significant than declines in wheat yields.
Ahuja also simulated earlier planting dates and no-till management to see if either change reduced yield losses, but only the no-till option helped.
In the wheat-fallow rotation with no tillage, wheat yields were higher than with conventional tillage through 2075. But by 2100, when summer temperatures had increased by 8 degrees F, even the no-till yield advantage was lost.
The results from this work were published in Climatic Change in 2012. Read more about these studies in the August 2012 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.
