NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs take top spot, Colts fall to No. 2
Kirwan: The Colts lose the top spot on a bye week to the 8-0 Chiefs, who continue to win games with a smothering defense. Elsewhere, the Cowboys and Lions flip spots.
How do the Colts lose their No. 1 ranking on a bye week? Two reasons: Kansas City is 8-0 and certainly deserving of the No. 1 spot. And the loss of Reggie Wayne will be tough to overcome for Indy.
Elsewhere, the Lions switch spots with the Cowboys after winning Sunday in Detroit in a showdown between the league's two best receivers, while the up-and-down Jets slide after an ugly loss to the Bengals.
1. Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs keep on winning, but some would say the backup quarterbacks they have faced in the last two weeks (Case Keenum and Jason Campbell) take away from their 8-0 record. A game next week against a Rams backup QB is a factor. The defense is good no matter who they play.
2. Indianapolis Colts: They fall from the top spot last week and they are on a bye. It is because they lost Reggie Wayne for the rest of the year and the Chiefs were impressive in week eight.
3. Seattle Seahawks: At times I think they are the best team in the NFL, and with five home games left on the schedule they should climb to the top with that defense and running game. Monday night against the Rams was another example of their offensive line problems, as Russell Wilson was sacked seven times.
4. Denver Broncos: It was hard to believe the Broncos scored 45 points this week against the Redskins. Peyton Manning is starting to get hit and it could be a problem in the weeks to come.
5. New Orleans Saints: New Orleans can score 30+ points at home against any team. Let's see how they do on the road this week when the Ryan brothers face off in New York. New Orleans averages 23 points a game away from New Orleans.
6. San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers run game has been intimidating opponents over the four-game win streak the Niners are on. When a club averages over 180 yards rushing for a month, not many teams will beat them.
7. Cincinnati Bengals: The Andy Dalton Show is gaining significant strength. Eleven touchdown passes in the last four games and the solid distribution of the passes is impressive.
8. Green Bay Packers: After watching the Packers drop 44 points on the Vikings on Sunday night, you would never know the club has a number of injuries.
9. New England Patriots: The Patriots offense is not as impressive as it has been in years past, but they still win (5-2). I have some concern about how often Tom Brady has been sacked in the last month (16 in four games).
10. Detroit Lions: The Lions had the drive of the weekend in their last-second win over the Cowboys. Calvin Johnson looks unstoppable and Matt Stafford can put up 300 yards of passing on any defense.
11. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys should have won the Lions game after being ahead with one minute to play, buy they couldn't stop the Detroit passing game. Dallas still has enough to win the NFC East with its passing game and the return of RB DeMarco Murray.
12. San Diego Chargers: No one saw the Chargers this high up the rankings back in August and many thought Philip Rivers was on the downside of his career, but that is the farthest thing from the truth. Rivers and his offense will put points on the board. The defense is always a question mark.
13. Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens have only scored 33 points in their two-game winning streak. The run game isn't what it used to be in years past.
14. Carolina Panthers: The Panthers are really improved and are legitimate playoff contenders with Cam Newton playing well and the front seven of the defense playing well.
15. Chicago Bears: There's no telling what will happen for the next month with Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs injured and two defensive tackles out as well. The Bears are 1-3 in the last four games.
16. Tennessee Titans: A tough team, especially in the trenches. If Jake Locker can continue to improve they will move up the rankings. Rams and Jaguars are the next two games.
17. New York Jets: A hot and cold team that will probably wind up 8-8 as Geno Smith goes through the learning curve of being an NFL QB. The defense has to be great every week for them to win and last week vs. the Bengals they were not anything near good.
18. Oakland Raiders: Dennis Allen is getting a lot of mileage out of a bunch of patchwork defensive players and a young QB that can run. The Raiders are 3-1 at home and get the Eagles this week.
19. Arizona Cardinals: If the Cardinals can protect Carson Palmer, they will climb the rankings because of a solid defense and the big-play ability of Larry Fitzgerald.
20. Cleveland Browns: Another team that has had to use three different quarterbacks this season. They are on a three-game losing streak and need to turn things around.
21. Buffalo Bills: An 'A' for effort but how far can backup QB Thad Lewis take this team? They need EJ Manuel and CJ Spiller back in top form.
22. Atlanta Falcons: A medical mess has resulted in one of the better club's in the league to plummet. I worry about Matt Ryan and the beating he is taking behind that line.
23. Miami Dolphins: The bubble has burst for a team with a ton of offseason hype. The Dolphins can't protect Ryan Tannehill and are consequently on a four-game losing streak.
24. Washington Redskins: Robert Griffin III is tough, but I'm not sure he will last very long in the NFL with the pounding he takes. The defense gives up more points than any team not names the Jaguars.
25. Pittsburgh Steelers: A two-game winning streak gave me hope they were going to climb out of the hole they dug, but the road loss last week to the Raiders was a reminder all is not well in Steeler town.
26. New York Giants: The way the NFC east is right now this team could climb back in the race. A two-game winning streak is a ray of hope, but I said the same thing last week about the Steelers. Buyer beware!
27. St. Louis Rams: The Rams played their heart out and almost beat the Seahawks this week with Kellen Clemons at QB. Their pass rush, led by Robert Quinn, is back and that will lead to a few more wins.
28. Philadelphia Eagles: Have you noticed how many teams at the bottom of the rankings are playing multiple quarterbacks? The Eagles are one of them and the style of offense changes radically when it isn't Michael Vick. Chip Kelly is getting his NFL indoctrination.
29. Houston Texans: Matt Schaub is healthy enough to play, but Case Keenum gets another start! I heard this story before when Tom Brady stayed on the field when Drew Bledsoe got healthy. I'm not sure Keenum is another Brady.
30. Minnesota Vikings: Musical chairs at QB … sound familiar?
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The team will have well over 100,000 no-shows and unsold tickets by the end of the season and that always spells trouble for a coach.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars: I think they play hard enough at times to win a game and not go 0-16, which might get them out of the last spot. For now, they sit at the bottom with 86 points scored all season (8.6 per game).

Creators Colin Escott (book) and Floyd Mutrux (book, concept, and direction) take many liberties. They mash 18 months of history into one busy afternoon, and most of the 22 songs in the fast-moving 90-minute show were never sung at that famous session, which was devoted mainly to old bluegrass, country, and gospel songs. Escott and Mutrux wisely opt for a greatest-hits approach—"Blue Suede Shoes," Long Tall Sally," "Great Balls of Fire," "I Walk the Line"—that allows each performer to shine. The story starts with rockabilly star Carl Perkins, who came to Sun Records that day to lay down some music. Sam Phillips, founder of the small but celebrated studio, has invited a hot new talent named Jerry Lee Lewis to spice up the band. Perkins is a one-hit wonder with "Blue Suede Shoes," and Phillips is desperately seeking a follow-up. During the afternoon, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash drop in unannounced and decide to step up to a microphone. Both men owe their careers to Phillips, who is in trouble, having been forced to sell Elvis' contract to RCA to save his struggling company. Cash is at the end of his Sun contract and doesn't plan to renew his deal with Phillips. That comes as a shock to the feisty producer, who carries a three-year agreement with Cash in his breast pocket, ready for signature.
The theme of rising stars betraying their early mentor provides just enough narrative tension to keep "Million Dollar Quartet" from devolving into a scripted revue. But such niceties won't concern most people, who undoubtedly are more interested in hearing talented young performers belt out iconic songs. This touring cast of relative unknowns does a credible job of portraying legends without getting too fussy or imitative, and some are impressive instrumentalists. Lee Ferris gives Perkins an anxious edge and an alpha dog's confidence, and his guitar playing eerily echoes Perkins' rambunctious licks. Cody Slaughter nails Elvis' slithery moves, and his voice is more than passably King-like. Martin Kaye captures Lewis' unhinged energy and over-the-top piano chops. Derek Keeling owns the kind of bottomless bass voice necessary to pull off Cash's rumbling, sepulchral sound. Kelly Lamont provides attractive window dressing and a pleasant voice as Elvis' girlfriend Dyanne. Christopher Ryan Grant conveys the mix of irascibility and charm that Phillips' friends say was the record mogul's trademark.
Bassist Chuck Zayas and drummer Billy Shaffer bang out rock-solid rhythm on a platform at the back of Derek McLane's set, which nicely captures Sun's dog-eared, slapped-together quality. "Million Dollar Quartet" isn't for those who like their musicals neatly made with story-specific songs. But it's far better crafted than it needs to be as a jukebox tuner, and it's a wonderful showcase for talented actor-musicians.

jbl fullrange
hi all
i've just got the jbl fullrange. and here is the specs 8130h the first i think to design v pipe. but now still don't sure with any box. all friends help me think that ill go?
thanks all
That speaker is designed mainly for paging and background music. It's often used with a transformer to utilize the 70/25v output off of a pa amp. You can remove the transformer and use a regular amp, but I wouldn't expect great results. With an fs of 105 hz, it's going to need some help in the bass department. Your best option would probably be open baffle with a helper woofer.
thanks bob ill try to build v pipe. and listen it if its poor bass. ill try to consider about the sub again. it's a pa driver ,i wouldn't expect a good result with it too much. but only hope that may make me enjoy the music, sometime diy can make me happy more than anything else.
Box wise from published specs, it ideally wants to 'feel' either a ~44 Hz BLH or OB and wide BW 'helper' woofer with a ~250 Hz XO, so a compromise would be a ~22 Hz BIB pipe horn and hope the room loads it down enough to protect the driver when driven down into the low 40s.
OB should be interesting with such a high Qts...
In what way? With a 250 Hz XO it's rolled off below its mass corner rendering its medium high Q moot.
Maybe a lower XO can be used with that sort of high Qts...
i think u're fine and your heath is good. jbl still don't do. Gm i fine Penton SP8053 in thailand . it's quite cheap. i think ill try. and about the sub i see this XCV 1200
from utube wow! love it i like the light of leds. sorry no has dealer in thailand. and agian i see the FR10 HM
in thailand, it's not expensive. i thing to buy all. if visaton fullrange works like satellite sp in ht. hope that works fine? GM any comment? thanks again for all.

If formulating a way to evaluate overall student competency at a
single school seems like a monumental task, imagine designing a
tool that any school could use, one that would incorporate
the profession's essential elements and be valid and easy to
implement in clinical settings. That's what our colleagues in
physical therapy have done, and more than a decade after their
Clinical Performance Instruments (CPIs) were first piloted, these
tools have achieved wide acceptance as a means of evaluating
students' clinical performance and readiness for entry-level
How our physical therapy colleagues achieved this feat may be
instructive as we seek to develop similar instruments of our own.
Their story begins in the early 1990s, when clinical educators were
expressing frustration at having to spend large amounts of time
learning and implementing different assessments for each program
whose students they supervised. The idea of standardizing student
assessment across programs emerged as a promising way to reduce the
time preceptors spent on assessment while allowing them to do the
job well and continue working with multiple physical therapist (PT)
and physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs.
In 1993, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) took
on the challenge of developing two clinical assessment tools, one
for PT and another for PTA programs. According to a 2002 article in Physical Therapy, the
task force began its work by agreeing on three fundamental
(1) that clinical competence is based on multiple behaviors
deemed essential to the role of the PT or PTA, (2) that the CPIs
should be constructed to measure performance along a continuum from
novice to at least entry level, and (3) that the instruments must
be responsive to the needs of both academic and clinical
The task force spent three and a half years researching and
developing the CPIs. Another decade of testing and refinement
followed, and today these web-based global assessment tools are
widely used to evaluate students' clinical performance and
readiness for practice.
"Those first years were labor intensive," says Dr. Jody Frost,
PT, DPT, Ph.D., Director, Department of Academic/Clinical Education
Affairs, American Physical Therapy Association, who coordinated the
CPIs' development. "We had to place ourselves in the shoes of those
who would use the CPI," Frost recalls. "The clinician says, don't
make this really long. I don't have time. Make this clear and easy
to complete. The program says, make this psychometrically sound so
I can defend a grievance, provide an early warning system to ensure
that due process is followed, and design an instrument that enables
the program to make objective decisions about student progression
and program completion related to clinical practice. The student
says I want something that shows small progress so I feel like I'm
getting somewhere."
Making all of those constituencies happy required patience and a
willingness to adhere to a stringent process that involved multiple
rounds of review and lots of listening.
"Some of our discussions in the open forum were passionately
charged. I can remember a few occasions with lightning bolts,"
Frost jokes. "We needed to learn to listen, acknowledge, seek
clarification, but not to defend. It takes a willingness to grow
and mature as a group to figure out how to manage that role."
The resulting tool focuses on what the student is able to do in
the aggregate, or what dental educators would call global or
overall competency. Preceptors are asked to rate students on 18
performance criteria, each of which includes a set of illustrative
sample behaviors that demonstrate essential or core performance
outcomes expected of the well-prepared clinician. For example, the
PT CPI includes the following performance criterion: "Practices in
a safe manner that minimizes the risk to patient, self, and
others." Behaviors that illustrate this include demonstrating
knowledge of facility safety policies and procedures, recognizing
physiological and psychological changes in patients and adjusting
patient intervention accordingly, requesting assistance when
necessary, and using acceptable techniques for safe handling of
Students are rated on a categorical scale that ranges from
beginning performance to beyond entry-level performance with
clearly defined performance dimensions at each point along the
continuum. Preceptors are asked to evaluate how well, how
consistently, and how efficiently students perform, how much
supervision or guidance is needed, and the complexity of the task,
the patient, and the environment. Students must meet precise
benchmarks in each of these dimensions in order to progress along
the continuum. An article describing the latest version of the CPIs
in greater detail will be published this month in Physical Therapy.
A one-size-fits-all approach to assessing overall competency in
the dental professions may not be in the cards. That said, it's
interesting to note that the instrument APTA developed seems to
work for the vast majority of its constituents. Use of the tool is
voluntary, and an impressive 187 out of 213 accredited physical
therapist programs have adopted it rather than retaining or
creating clinical assessment tools of their own. Even concerns that
the use of a uniform tool might reveal deficiencies in a program
have evolved into a commitment to quality improvement.
"All the programs want to know, how do my graduates compare to
others," Frost reports. "When they've identified places where they
need improvement, they've stepped up to enhance their
This makes sense given the realization among PT programs back in
the 1990s that they were spending lots of time developing,
revising, and updating tools without any assurance that they were
reliable or valid. According to Frost, program leaders finally
concluded that this was not the best use of faculty time. Today,
programs that adopt the PT or the PTA CPI use it for all
of their students' clinical experiences. Programs may also
supplement the CPI with additional tools and requirements specific
to the needs of a program and its mission. To ensure the tool's
reliability, preceptors, students, and faculty who use it must pass
an online training course.
This coming year, APTA will release the last component of the
web-based instrument (PT CPI Web): a mechanism that enables the
program to compile up to seven years of data gleaned from the PT
CPI assessment into a set of pre-designed reports relevant to the
program, curriculum assessment, and the accreditation process.

The collection of DT has nearly 500.000 beautiful worldwide images and more than 40.000 of them are macro. The reasonable question is how to improve sales of the picture in this sea of photos. I would like to use this opportunity to share some ideas or just to remind few helpful approaches to the problem.
Definitely, the core of answer is good concept, quality, and keywords. First two are well discussed or still are running under discussion in many blogs.
The last topic is not so actively lighted...

Brief description of the situation:
The Observatory has been informed by reliable sources of the sentencing of Ms. Rezvan Moghadam and Ms. Parvin Ardalan, members of the One Million Signatures Petition Campaign, which seeks to put pressure on the Iranian legislators in order to withdraw provisions that have adverse effects on women's human rights.
According to the information received, on April 28, 2008, Ms. Rezvan Moghadam and Ms. Parvin Ardalan were notified that, subsequent to a hearing that took place on February 4, 2008, the 13th Chamber of the Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced Ms. Moghadam to six months' suspended imprisonment and ten lashes and Ms. Ardalan to two years' imprisonment, for having participated, on March 4, 2007, in a peaceful gathering in front of the Tehran Revolutionary Court to mark International Women's Day. On this occasion, 33 women's rights activists were arrested. They were also protesting against the trials of six women human rights defenders who were prosecuted in connection with their participation in the peaceful assembly of June 2006, and with their involvement in the "One million signatures" campaign[1]. Ms. Moghadam has announced that she would appeal this decision.
The Observatory expresses its deep concern about the harsh sentence against Ms. Moghadam and Ms. Ardalan as well about the ongoing harsh repression of the Iranian authorities against human rights defenders, in particular women's rights activists involved in the One Million Signatures Campaign. To that extent, the Observatory recalls that more than a hundred of women's rights activists have been arrested, interrogated, or sentenced in the past two years and that the Government has raised over one million Euros by imprisoning the activists and releasing them on high bail.
The Observatory further wishes to insist on the fact that Iran had committed to "uphold the highest standards in the promotion and protection of human rights" by presenting its candidacy to the Human Rights Council 2006 election and had insisted in this regard on the fact that the country had "continuously put great efforts into safeguarding the status and inherent dignity of the human person as well as the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms". In order to ensure the continuation of these efforts, the Observatory urges the Islamic Republic of Iran to conform with international human rights standards.
Background information:
On April 24, 2007, Ms. Ardalan was sentenced to three years' imprisonment, of which two and a half were suspended, and had immediately appealed the sentencing[2].
Furthermore, on February 25, 2008, Ms. Parvin Ardalan was summoned to Tehran Revolutionary Courts and she was forced, on March 3, 2008, to get out of a plane to Stockholm (Sweden), where she had been invited to receive the Olaf Palme[3], in honour of her achievements and activism designed to achieve equal rights for women. Her passport was retained on that occasion, and Ms. Ardalan was given a court order that required her to show up at the security branch of the passport office within 72 hours[4].
Actions requested:
Please write to the authorities in Iran urging them to:
i. Guarantee in all circumstances the physical and psychological integrity of Ms. Moghadam and Ms. Ardalan, as well as all activists engaged in the "One Million Signatures" campaign;
ii. Ensure that Ms. Moghadam and Ms. Ardalan, should she appeal the decision, be granted a fair and impartial trial, so that the charges against them be dropped as they seem to merely sanction their human rights activities and as such are arbitrary;
iii. Drop all arbitrary charges against all women's rights defenders involved in the "One million signatures" campaign;
iv. Put an end to all acts of harassment, including at the judicial level, against Iranian human rights defenders;
v. Conform with the provisions of the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 9, 1998, especially its Article 1, which states that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others, to promote and to strive for the protection and realisation of human rights and fundamental freedoms at the national and international levels", Article 6.b, which provides that "everyone has the right, individually and in association with others [...] freely to publish, impart or disseminate to others views, information and knowledge on all human rights and fundamental freedoms", and Article 12.2, which provides that "the State shall take all necessary measures to ensure the protection by the competent authorities of everyone, individually and in association with others, against any violence, threats, retaliation, de facto or de jure adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action as a consequence of his or her legitimate exercise of the rights referred to in the present Declaration";
vi. More generally, ensure in all circumstances the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in accordance with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and with international and regional human rights instruments ratified by Iran.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistani police shot dead four Al Qaeda suspects at a checkpoint near Pakistan's tribal frontier Wednesday amid suspicions that they were preparing to carry out a terrorist attack.
Police killed the men after coming under fire as they tried to stop a van in Kohat, a town in Pakistan's North-West Frontier province. Three Pakistani officials were also killed in the gun battle, which came a week after 10 Pakistani soldiers died in a shootout with Al Qaeda suspects during a raid in the tribal region of South Waziristan.

The Shining isn't just great horror; it's great literature. But I do have one great big shining complaint: the epilogue is unnecessary and perverts the sense of dread the reader felt all through the book. The calm, soothing image of the headlights in the snow should have been the image I was left with, not the sappy picture of the little kid sitting on the pier by the lake. I really don't understand why King threw that epilogue in. It just didn't work.
So for those of you reading The Shining for the firs time, skip the epilogue. And read it exclusively at night, alone, in a quiet house. It's the only way to experience it.

>Health and Nutrition>Coughing & Running
Interval Junkie --Nobby
Okay, this is kinda strange. When I run, my abdomen gets pretty tight -- not in an unnatural way. Every once in a while, for unrelated reasons like trying to breath water, I have to cough. When I do so, I get a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, left side, 4" below navel, 4" to the left. It feels like that muscle is weak. Maybe this is what a hernia feels like? I don't know.
This is the only time it happens. Only a hard cough. Only when I've been running for more than 8mi. Though, I haven't really tried to experiment with shorter distances or tried to encourage coughing.
I'm pretty sure if I had a coughing fit I'd end up rupturing something.
I plan to do more crunches and sit-ups.
Anyone heard of this kind of thing?
2016 Goals: Lose the 10lbs I gained for not having goals
Running causing coughing is fairly normal--I have that quite a bit depending on the weather. I had asthma as a kid. Cold and/or dry and/or high dust/pollen/smog days are triggers for me.
The sharp pain sounds like a stitch a.k.a. side stitch. Things like drinking too much water just before or during running, and coughing can trigger a stitch. There is some anecdotal evidence that poor posture while running can contribute as well.
Unfortunately there is not a whole lot you can do about a stitch except try to avoid the things that trigger them.
Runners run.
Princess Cancer Pants
Erratic breathing can cause side-aches, too...so if you're coughing it makes sense that you could be triggering stitches that way. Or...are you running with others and talking? About the only time I get side aches is if I'm running with someone and we're doing a lot of chatting. My kid sometimes gets side aches when we run and I have to tell him to quit talking to make the stitch go away (he talks a blue streak. If he actually stopped talking while running there is NO way I could keep up with him. Kid has some freaky aerobic potential!).

She was not strong. She was valiant. Radiant. Brave and broken. The beauty she discovered in the aftermath was unparalleled to anything she had known before, because it had come at such a cost.
~ Unknown
I get the same thing. After a hard run, I get the coughs and my lower abs will hurt with each cough. Sneezing hurts too. I don't think it's anything serious. After yesterday's half, I felt like I had smoked a pack of Marlboro Reds. Reverse crunches can help the abs maybe. And don't neglect hip flexor and groin stretches after running.

Less than two weeks before the election, a new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates millions of rural Americans will benefit and over 300,000 jobs are being created or saved by the stimulus package. "With Rural Development's loans, grants, and loan-grant combination financing for new and existing programs, we have leveraged our Recovery Act funds to ensure the greatest bang for the taxpayer's buck, allowing our agency to make unprecedented and lasting investments in rural America," USDA Under Secretary for Rural Development Dallas Tonsager said in a news release. "I am proud of what we have accomplished over the last two years towards building livable, innovative, and sustainable rural communities."
Of the $40.7 billion of stimulus funding allocated to USDA, Rural Development used $21.2 billion in funding seven programs. "In all, 95,000 loans and 2,500 grants were provided to recipients in all 50 states, American territories, the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico," USDA writes in the release. Rural stimulus package funding helped expand rural broadband, improve water and wastewater projects in rural communities and provide small business loans. (Read more)

The following editorial appeared recently in the Chicago Tribune:
Chimpanzees are the closest living relatives to human beings, a distinction that has not necessarily been a blessing to them. Because of their strong genetic resemblance to people, chimps have been used extensively in biomedical research on human diseases. It's been helpful to humans — and harmful to these primates, who often pay with their health or their lives.
There is good news for them, though. Last year, the National Institutes of Health announced it would suspend new funds for research on chimpanzees and established strict new conditions for such studies. In September, it said it would retire 110 of the chimps it has used for research.
The decision, said director Francis Collins, was "based on the way science has evolved and our great sensitivity to the special nature of these remarkable animals." Imagine that: Being closely related to humans finally paid off.
The NIH decisions came in response to a 2011 report by the federal Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, which concluded that "most current use of chimpanzees for biomedical research is unnecessary."
Said Jeffrey Kahn, who headed the investigation, "The committee concluded that research using animals that are so closely related to humans should not proceed unless it offers insights not possible with other animal models and unless it is of sufficient scientific or health value to offset the moral costs. We found very few cases that satisfy these criteria."
Even Congress is taking notice. A House bill offered by Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., to phase out invasive experiments on great apes has attracted 174 co-sponsors from both parties, and a Senate counterpart was recently approved by the Environment and Public Works Committee. The legislation may have trouble gaining priority in the post-election lame-duck session, but in that case, it will assuredly be back next year.
The shift has generated opposition from such groups as the National Association for Biomedical Research and the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, which point out that such research has yielded such advances as hepatitis A and B vaccines and that the new restrictions could prevent experiments on lethal new diseases.
The legislation would not forbid all such research — merely impose tight requirements for it. But the experimental biology group says the new hurdles would be "unworkable at best and life threatening at worst."
Expert criticism like that should not be ignored. If proponents of chimpanzee experimentation can offer a sensible alternative that permits research only where it is truly vital, Congress should be open to their suggestions.Comment on this story
But the basic goal of eliminating most experiments on these intelligent creatures is a sound one. The rest of humanity has already recognized as much. "The United States is the only country in the world to continue invasive research on chimpanzees," reports the Humane Society of the United States. Polls indicate most Americans favor a ban.
It's not too much to ask that the government put a stop to invasive experiments on chimpanzees except when they are absolutely necessary. In fact, it's the least we can do for a cousin.

Legal Question in Family Law in California
Determining abandonment/and parental rights
We haven't heard from ex in 0ver 5 yrs, ex pays support because of wage garnishment. He never called/wrote...not once. He just called. The child was barely 2 when he left and is now 9. My child knows my husband as his father-my husband has been in his life since he was 2, (and knows nothing of my ex). Does my exs lack of contact constitute abandonment? If so, do I need to file for it or is it automatic? Does his lack of contact still allow him his full parental rights? If we have to go to court, does my child have to be exposed to this, (have to appear in court, ect...)? Thank you.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Determining abandonment/and parental rights
It depends upon the visitation order. No one can really answer that question until the order is reviewed. However, if the order gives him the right to visit, then, he has that right. Simply because he hasn't tried to visit over the last 5 years doesn't necessarily mean he lost or waived any parental rights. I suppose you could force him to hire a lawyer or he could ask the judge himself to enforce the visitation orders, but, he might ask for attorneys fees against you. The child custody issues would be resolved by motions and without the child being involved. You should hire a lawyer.

Sometime this Christmas season, you are sure to hear those rousing words of Handel's Messiah, taken from Revelation 11:15: "The kingdom of this world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ" (ESV). Tradition has it that the music so moved King George II that he stood to his feet out of respect for an even greater King. The rest of the audience followed, as have audiences for generations since. The Hallelujah Chorus is the culmination of our Messiah's story, a story that Handel rightly showed was foretold by the Prophets, heralded in the Annunciation, and has at its heart a message about a king and a kingdom.
Sadly, that kingdom message is often missed in our saccharine retelling of the Christmas story. Somehow we glaze over the angel's words to Mary, that she will give birth to a son whose "kingdom will never end" (Luke 1:33). The myopia continues as we read the Gospels. We skim over pages of kingdom references. We miss Christ's inaugural address when he opens the scroll of Isaiah and proclaims that Scripture has been fulfilled in the people's hearing (Luke 4:21). We muddle through the parables that tell us repeatedly, "The kingdom of God is like …." And we glance over the very reason our Savior was crucified, a sign crudely scrawled beneath the cross: "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:19).
Along the way, the Good News is truncated. An earth-shaking, kingdom-sized announcement is reduced to a personal self-help story. Our gospel has grown too small.
So what was Jesus talking about when he came announcing a kingdom?
He was talking about the eschatological certainty that in the end, God's reign will be made manifest. ...1

New (to me) SIG P220

Congratulations! I just absolutely love my old SIG P220. Nothing else shoots like it.
For quite awhile now I've been saying that mine was a 1988 W. German P220. Well I recently saw a post that showed a two letter marking below the barrell and it found out that mine is a 1995. I was shocked!!! I had to think about where I was, in what city, at what part of my life, what did my friend buy at the same time, and realized that yes, I did purchase it in 1995. Still very much made in W. Germany.
To hijack your thread just a lil' bit Constantine, I have a question for you P220 afficionado's. I want to keep the "dot the i" sights, but want to put in night sights. They are very hard to find. Then it hit me, can I simply put on a front night sight, and if so, what # is that sight? Is it a #6?
Again, congrats and enjoy...

text: Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation," Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) said she can not support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the general election because of how he treats people and for questions about his judgment. Collins said, "The tipping point for me was when he attacked the parents of the fallen soldier. It was inexplicable to me that anyone, much less presidential candidate, would not honor the sacrifice and empathize with a family who lost a son in war. Instead, he attacked them and attacked their religion. It was so difficult a decision for me, because I'm a lifelong Republican, and I wanted to and expected to be able to support party's nominee. but the barrage of comments and the attacks on people who are vulnerable and unable to fight back really troubled me." She added, "When you look at the challenges that we're facing at home and abroad, we need a president who has the judgment, the temperament, the knowledge, and the self-control to lead our country and to be the symbol of our country. I know that it is appeal to people that Donald Trump has jettisoned the politically correct, stilted campaign speeches that frustrate voters. But

Rafael "Rafi" Eitan (Hebrew: רפי איתן, born 23 November 1926) is an Israeli politician and former intelligence officer. Today he leads Gil and is a former Minister of Pensioner Affairs. In the past, he was in charge of the Mossad operation that lead to the capture of Adolf Eichmann. He served as an advisor on terrorism to Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and in 1981 he was appointed to head the Bureau of Scientific Relations, then an intelligence entity on par with Mossad, Aman and Shabak. Eitan assumed responsibility for and resigned over the Jonathan Pollard affair, and the Bureau was disbanded. From 1985 until 1993, he was head of the government's Chemicals company, which was expanded under his leadership. After 1993, he became a businessman, noted for several large scale agricultural and construction ventures in Cuba.
Eitan was born in kibbutz Ein Harod during the Mandate era. His parents were Zionist immigrants from Russia in 1923. His father Noach Hantman was a farmer and poet and his mother Yehudit Volwelsky, a social activist. They had four children, Rafi, Oded, Rina and Ami(Yechiam) and lived happily in Ramat HaSharon, a small settlement consisting of 100 families. Eitan went to a regular junior high public school, but finished his high school at the Agricultural School in Givat HaShlosha in 1940 before going to the London School of Economics for his BSc in Economics.
At age 12, engulfed in the prevalent Zionist sentiments of the day and to defend his settlement from Arab insurgencies, Eitan joined the Haganah from which he moved to the Palmach, a more elite part of the Haganah, upon completion of high school in 1944. Through clandestine operations, he was to assist the illegal immigration of Jewish refugees from Europe, who were fleeing Nazism, into Palestine. His most famous operation at this time was blowing up the British radar on Mount Carmel near the port city of Haifa. To reach it, Eitan had to crawl underground through sewers, thus earning the name 'Rafi the Smelly', which would differentiate him in later years from the other Rafael Eitan, a well-known Israeli Chief of Staff and politician. It was also during this time that he met Yitzhak Rabin, who would later become Israeli Prime Minister.

Medusa's Gaze: The Extraordinary Journey of the Tazza Farnese, by Marina Belozerskaya
The lives of objects can be as surprising as those of people. No one knows for sure where the Tazza Farnese, an elaborately carved bowl of banded agate, came from or when it was made. For millennia it has been prized by monarchs and emperors and survived the avarice of popes and princesses' possessiveness. It is now in the care of a Naples museum. In itself, it is an object of great beauty and consummate craftsmanship that reflects ages of power politics, artistic inspiration and social prestige.

Smaller classes and a chance to explore job opportunities in the vocational field are some of the reasons students are choosing St. Johns Technical High School.
The school on the campus of the First Coast Technical Institute is probably one of the best kept secrets in the St. Johns County School System, suggest Jay Willets, principal, and Wayne King, assistant principal.
But that's all about to change.
Thursday, the school, located at 2980 Collins Ave., will host an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. in Building C of the FCTI complex.
Student leaders will join the 13-member SJTHS staff to lead tours of the facility and explain the opportunities of the school.
"We're a public high school on a charter campus," King explains of the high school's location at the FCTI campus.
That's quite convenient for students who, in addition to the regular school courses, have elective course work in the vocational field, the latter possible because "we use the vocational courses at the First Coast Technical Institute," explains King.
That means that SJTHS students can choose from a variety of educational opportunities -- auto mechanics, culinary arts, cosmetology, horticulture, child care, Web page design, PC support, graphic arts, carpentry and criminal justice.
"That's a new program," King explains of the criminal justice program.
After high school training, graduates of SJTHS can further their education at either FCTI or St. Johns River Community College.
Programs offered at SJTHS have been selected "because they are high wage, high demand" fields in the this area, says King. The area includes Clay, Duval, Flagler, Putnam and St. Johns counties.
The programs have been carefully researched, he adds. Criminal justice is especially popular, and "that's why we're adding it."
Formerly known as First Coast Technical High School, the name change came two years ago, and students have been enrolling in the school because of the smaller numbers.
Stanley Cooper, a rising senior, says he chose SJTHS "to get better grades so I can play football." He likes the fact that at St. Johns classes are smaller, and there is "more one-on-one help."
His goal is to "got to college and be a psychiatrist."
Lamaris Martin, a rising senior, sees an opportunity "to better myself, to get better grades and to pass the FCAT" at SJTHS.
Future plans for Lamaris include attending college -- "I hope to go to FSU or a black college."
"You have more vocational time. You can get what you need for college," says Zach Sadberry, a rising sophomore.
His future plans, he says, are to "maybe start a Web site or go to college."
And he has words of advice as to why students should come to SJTHS:
"If you struggle sometimes in school, you can have a better experience with stuff" at SJTHS.

The DC Mini brought me back to the days of the Electric Maid, Corner Kick, Wilson Center, and all the random church and college basements I saw shows at in high school. At 14th & Crittenden St. NW, it's in between two heavily residential neighborhoods, Petworth to the east and 16th St. Heights to the west. Many businesses in this strip are Ethiopian-owned, including the excellent restaurant right down the block from the DC Mini, and there's a large Ethiopian church a couple blocks south. The city likes to call this 'hood 14th Street Heights. They even put up signs making it official, so I guess that's what we'll call it.
When I walked in I was taken aback by how large the space is. There is a stage on the west wall, a backstage (!), and a roomy basement ideal for shows. Brandon and Luke of the Laughing Man were handing out cupcakes. Ebony from 52 O St. was iTunes djing. The All Our Noise crew was representing in full, taking video and Twittering like wild. J squared had some vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories for sale. It was fairly crowded when I got there, and when I rolled out around 10:30, people were still hanging and watching the bands. I had a blast at this spot and I see it being a great space for DC music. Kudos, Mike!

I have returned from PAX and even caught up on my sleep a bit. This morning must be dedicated to non-PAX life things, and I will take the time later to write more about what I saw. For now, though, here is what I've written already about the convention over on the newly released Junkies Nation:
PAX Prime Experts on the Future of MMORPGs – I attended a panel with a bunch of important MMO dudes talking about the future of the genre. This is a relatively straight forward retelling of the panel.
WildStar Shows Off Player Housing – Player housing was the hot topic at both the WildStar panel and their party, and to be honest in theory it all looks pretty cool.
Hands On With the Oculus Rift – It's not just a gimmick! The Rift is technically impressive and I think something we'll be seeing more of in a few years.
Indie Game Highlights from PAX Prime – One of the coolest things about PAX is all the indies, and they were out in full force this year. I wrote about a few of my favorites.
Okay, I have to go dig out from under a pile of laundry. More PAX talk soon!
[Editor's Note: I arrived home last night to discover that Gabe from Penny Arcade was saying stupid things again yesterday. I want to talk about this more in-depth, but suffice to say that I totally respect anyone's decision to not attend or support PAX because Gabe is a hurtful person who says bad things.]

Monument man invents money-saving repair for cracked windshields
$80 kit cheaper than hundreds of dollars for windshield replacement
MONUMENT, Colo. - Vehicle owners who hate seeing windshield cracks worsen and don't want to pay the expense to replace them, will love an invention by Tim Evans of Monument.
Evans, who said he has 30 years of experience repairing chipped windshields, spent 10 years developing and patenting the Crack Eraser. It's a do-it-yourself kit that seals cracks up to two feet in length.
Evans said chip repair businesses don't fix cracks, and auto repair shops prefer to replace damaged windshields because that costs more -- at least several hundred dollars.
"It's going to save (drivers) hundreds of millions of dollars, and save tons of windshields -- most of which are going into landfills and are not being recycled at this point," he said.
The key to his product, Evans said, is its ability to slide on a windshield while applying a special resin to seal cracked glass.
"I'm a problem solver," he said. "I want to help people, I want to help the environment. This is what I do. Even if the industry is kind of against what I do, that doesn't slow me up a bit."
The Crack Eraser currently sells online for $80, but Evans said the price will drop if he can find an investor to market the product in auto parts stores. The repair kit can be used several times, he said.
Evans sets up to repair cracked windshields in a parking lot along Baptist Road. On Thursday, his business was steady. He said many of his customers are referrals from chip repair businesses. The repair time is between 10 and 15 minutes.
"It's really impressive what he's able to do in a short period of time, to save you a considerable amount of money," said Dave Harms, one of Evans' customers. "So I'd definitely recommend it."
Evans hopes to catch the attention of Shark Tank, a reality TV show in which potential investors consider business ideas from entrepreneurs. He said he has contacted the show's producers but hasn't received a response.

If you have a TV Tuner card in your PC, the bundled software (or ChrisTV, Windows Movie Maker) will easily let you take screenshots of any TV show frame. But if you want to shoot your TV with a camera, you have to do it very slowly as Dave Johnson explains- you need to use a shutter speed of less than 1/30 second.
The easiest way to do that is to set your camera to its shutter priority mode (usually indicated by an "S") and use the camera controls to change the shutter speed until you see a speed of 1/15, 1/20, or 1/25 in the viewfinder.
What if your camera doesn't have a shutter priority mode? Well, try the program mode. Usually, you can shift the shutter speed up or down by using the camera's controls--the aperture setting will change as well, ensuring that the exposure stays correct. Another alternative is to see if your camera offers a slow-shutter scene mode.

Interview: GamingIndians vs SCE India's Atindriya Bose
At PlayStation Experience 2008, it was time for Round 3 of GamingIndians vs Atindriya Bose, Country Manager of Sony Computer Entertainment India.
This time around, he sheds some light on the new 80GB PlayStation 3 set to hit stores in December, the post warranty situation for the PS3, the long-awaited PSN launch, and news of Activision moving its PS2 game manufacturing to India.
To quote: GamingIndians: Can you tell me a bit about Sony's policy towards post-warranty PlayStation 3s?
Atindriya Bose: Currently, we are giving you a new console at 50 per cent discount in case something goes wrong with your console after warranty has expired.
GamingIndians: Won't there be a service facility?
Atindriya Bose: Not on an immediate basis. I think currently we are just touching figures of 20,000 with the PS3. Both the PS3 and PSP have quite complex service requirements, but at the moment, the PSP numbers allow us to go ahead and think about setting up a service centre in India.
The process of changing the Blu-Ray drive is a very complex one and the Blu-Ray drive error is the most common issue we have faced. So right now, offering this replacement is a more cost-effective strategy.
But surely at some point in time, these numbers will grow to the current PS2 numbers, and there will be nothing stopping us from setting up servicing here. For the PS2 and PSP, we are in the process of setting up service facilities here.
GamingIndians: Until these facilities are set up, what is the current policy for post-warranty PS2s and PSPs?
Atindriya Bose: The policy is the same as for the PS3, but we are in the process of setting up servicing here, and that should happen in the next financial year.
GamingIndians: Does this PS3 policy cover grey market PS3s or only those that are officially purchased here?
Atindriya Bose: It will cover any PS3 sold in a PAL territory. It has to be a PAL console.
GamingIndians: So is there any support for someone who has an NTSC console?
Atindriya Bose: No; none whatsoever. We can't even take them and send them back, because those won't be recognised as Indian PS3s. It's outside the company's global philosophy to provide support for NTSC consoles in PAL territories. Also, those purchasing grey market PS3s will be losing out on warranty completely.
GamingIndians: You've announced that you'll be replacing the 40GB PS3 with the 80GB SKU. Will there be any price difference between the two?
Atindriya Bose: As of now, we are debating that. The pressure that is coming is from the exchange fluctuation. We want to keep it at the same price, but we may have to push it up a bit.
GamingIndians: Can you give me an estimate of how much more someone waiting for the 80GB PS3 might have to pay?
Atindriya Bose: Rs 2,000 is the maximum possible increase.
GamingIndians: You had mentioned a while back that you were in talks with Activision to have their PS2 games manufactured in India. Has there been any progress on that?
Atindriya Bose: Activision have transferred all their assets here. They have done the transfers, their costing is ready, and the distributor is ready as well. Again, they are also a little confused with the Dollar fluctuating between Rs 47 and Rs 49. They need to figure out at what price they can start a plausible operation.
So all the transfers are done and they have also obtained a special sanction to maintain the mid-range pricing of Rs 699. So they're pretty much ready at their end, but I think the Activision-Vivendi deal had also put this on hold to an extent.
GamingIndians: Currently, Activision games are distributed here by Worldwide CD ROM. So with this going through, will these PS2 games come through Sony or WWCDROM?
Atindriya Bose: They will continue with WWCDROM. Third parties have the right to select their own distributors.
GamingIndians: Every time I talk to you, I ask you this question and I'm going to ask you again - When does India get PSN?
Atindriya Bose: India is now in the top 5 list of PSN Stores being created and integrated. When I last spoke to the person in charge, I was told that India would get PSN in this fiscal (by March 31, 2009). That looks like a plausible date and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
GamingIndians: Will there be a PSN card system for India or will buyers have to rely solely on credit cards? Do you think the prepaid card system will work?
Atindriya Bose: You tell me.
GamingIndians: I think the card system would work pretty well because many people are still paranoid about using their credit cards online.
Atindriya Bose: I have my doubts. Regular gamers will get their content either way; whether it's by prepaid card or credit card. But pushing the prepaid card system to the general population and the distribution of it can be hectic.
Even Zapak is pushing that system but I don't know to what extent that will work. The micro-transaction system that works in east Asia may not work here. So we will need to evaluate whether we really want to get into that level of complexity.

An unprofessional rivalry between two local newscasters has gone viral after a compilation of their on air bickering and jabs made the rounds online this week.
CBS 3 Philadelphia news anchor (and former Miss Pennsylvania) Nicole Brewer and weatherwoman Carol Erickson just can't seem to put their dislike for each other behind them and constantly butt heads during their live broadcasts. Well, looks like viewers took notice of their exchanges and put together a supercut of their fights that happened on air.

could i have had warts all along?
October 18th, 2011
I'm 21 years old and had a total hysterectomy (ovaries, tubes, the whole nine yards) done October 11th 2011. It was done by abdominal incision.
At the hospital I felt like they rushed me along just to get out of there. I was only in till October 13th, about 9 in the morning. I was NOT ready because I was in too much pain, just as I was not ready to switch from IV pain meds to pills--but they made me once my IV meds ran out, and it was nearly unbearable pain.
Now over this weekend I had to call my doctor because he prescribed me percocet initially and I was running out of them, and he called me in vicodin instead. Well... the vicodin did nothing for me. I was supposed to take them every 4 hours, but around 2 hours they would start wearing off and I'd have shooting, burning pains in my pelvic area. I was able to walk around and do a few things before that, but now I'm bedridden again.
I called the drs to tell them it still hurts and the vicodin isn't helping (they prescribed me so little that taking them at the prescribed times now I'm two pills away from being out of them :/) and the dr RELUCTANTLY agreed to prescribe something else.
Even Saturday when I called, some nurse told me about a week after surgery they don't want patients being medicated too much. She suggested I even just use motrin before she would ask the doctor to call me in some vicodin!! Four days after they cut me a six inch long incision and removed six organs, MOTRIN.
Even now the doctors office is telling me pretty much this is the last medicine they'll prescribe me. I am in severe pain, and underwent a major surgery just a week ago--what is with my doctors no medicine stance?? Does pain after abdominal hysterectomy usually go away much quicker than this? I was told it would be 6-8 weeks recovery, so I'm just really confused. Why only give me three day supplies of pills at a time and act like it's unreasonable to give me any more?

Hi zwerv and welcome to ehealth: It does go away, however, I think the fact that you were let go far so early has hampered your healing...I had a 7 inch scar...Belly button to crack separation...Ovaries and Uterus...Then I found that I was allergic to Morphine...Even though I was in the hospital for near 5 days, I could only use a strong Tylenol type medication...So I know what you speak about...
My best advice is to do what they say...You don't want to get addicted to the medication...Seeing today is your 9th day out of surgery, I hope you are doing better...Try and relax...Hopefully the stitches are not as sore...Don't lift anything heavy for a good 6 to 8 weeks...Take care...

I'm sorry you're struggling!! I don't know how long your pain will last, but I certainly feel for you!
I had surgery on the 18th and they wanted to discharge me the same day. Mine was a lap procedure, which is supposed to hurt much less. It has actually been the worst pain I've ever felt, I ended up in the hospital for four days, and I'm still on pain meds. I've had to press my doc to give them to me too. I don't get why they give you pain meds via IV up until you leave and then send you home with so little. It's a shock to get home and be so uncomfortable! My doc scripted me 20 Vicodin and then agreed to give me a refill.
As far getting addicted to the meds, that's always a possibility. I'm not that worried about it. It's more accurate to say that you may become dependent on them. I still don't think people should just suffer. It's not that tough to simply take less and less painkillers as your pain decreases. It kinda happens naturally. You said that you are hurting way before your next dose is due. If your next dose was due and you still felt okay, you would probably not even think to take it. It kinda stinks, but there's so much abuse of pain meds now that people who really need them have a tough time getting them! I personally just demanded them. I haven't taken one pain pill since my last c-section, which was 4 years ago. I don't have a problem. If you don't have a problem, don't be shy about asking firmly for what you need. We pay a lot of money for these procedures, even with insurance.

I totally understand your frustration. I also had my hysterectomy done on the 18th of October and still in a lot of pain. I've gone thru 3 different meds because some of them didn't work and I got itchy all over and had to take benadryl on top of it! I did stop taking the pain killers because I hated the way I felt after I took them, so now I'm taking Tylenol for arthritis 650mg each. I also try to ice the area of the incision and that seems to help a bit. Good luck ladies and a prompt recovery!

This information is very helpful. I had a lap hyst 10 days ago. I sitll have my ovaries, but I still have a lot of pain. I thought I was crazy because I did not know what to expect. I am searching all over the net for information and I am so glad that you ladies posted all of the information that you did and after reading it, I no longer feel insane for still being in pain. I tried to stop taking my pain meds because I thought I wsas feeling better and it wasnt until the 12th hour of no pain med that I felt the worse pain ever.... 10 days out of surgery later... I have gone through all of my 800 milligrams of motrin and still have percocet left, but I am starting to feel that it doesn't do much as well. How long does this pain last?

I just had a partial hysterectomy September 4, 2012. First few days I had a catheter for urinating, then I needed help getting up angd going to the bathroom. Doctor came to see me and I was told I had a hematoma and it needed to drain. I was swollen, numb, and had pain, burning on both sides. I developed a keloid. I had severe constipation could not go for four days, pain radiating in my rectum and my sides and hips. I also have a hernia which was not operated on. The surgeon wants me to heal from the hysterectomy. When I had post-op visit with the doctor I was using a cane. I could not stand up completely straight, my back was hurting. I felt like a 90 year old cripple lady. It's been 3 weeks, I've been able to go out a little. Sitting for a long time is'nt good so I get up and walk. Going to the bathroom hurts a little but has gotten slightly better because I'm back on fruits and veggies. Getting plenty of rest is important. I am fatiged and I was spotting a little. Doctor says it's normal, but it's gonna take more time.

Sorry for yall pain and agony, but I think that if you pay all that money for insurance a month, you have a right to ask for what you need and that that will help you, Besides no one knows your body better than you do. The doctor only knows what you tell him.

I'm 13 days post a complete hysterectomy. While the pain has become a bit less, it's still debilitating. I can only be up for an hour at a time. The pain is too intense. I don't feel like the pain killers help much. I'm glad that I found this forum. I was feeling like I was going crazy!!

Hi Mommyofmany: Did you have a complete abdominal procedure or was it done vaginally?...I had the complete abdominal and it was rough...I know when I went back for my 6 weeks exam it still hurt me just getting on the table...
Don't lift anything heavy and get a lot of rest...Look at a week at a time instead of a daily workup...I know I lost 20 some pounds in the first 6 weeks...
Take it easy and hopefully you are feeling better now...
Take care..

"Be Careful"- harkto08
Van York gave me a good car when I leased it. That's the only thing they were able to do for me. I would never go back there. The salesman that I met with, Dave, is a pathological liar so avoid him at all costs! Van York will give you a good car, they will take care of it but they do tend to beat around the bush with being entirely honest in the contract. As I said above, the salesman Dave is one you should never work with. as he does lie and I was able to call him out on this with facts while I was making my lease. While going to Van York, just be aware.Read More

Our shopping expert picks the best independent shops ruling their own sovereign state
Austere, Los Angeles
Design is very much at home in downtown LA. The surprise here is that Swedish owner Fredrik Carlstrom has chosen to celebrate the very best of the Scandinavian aesthetic in California, where success is usually equated with volume, not large open spaces with minimal, understated furniture. A palette of icing-sugar pinks, greys and greens sets off the familiar Scandi scene of classic design and under-the-radar fashion labels. A steel swing hangs from the ceiling, stacks of wooden stools are dotted around one side of the store and a white Volvo makes a statement in the centre of the room. Carlstrom describes the space as a virtual magazine, where he wants customers to try, test and treat themselves to a new kind of shopping experience. You won't find a Please Don't Touch sign anywhere on the premises - another rarity that makes Austere a standout in this town. 912 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, USA (www.austere.co)

2K Sports releases official trailer for NBA 2K14
2K Sports released today the official trailer for NBA 2K14, the latest NBA basketball game for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Lebron James of the back-to-back NBA champions Miami Heat was announced as the cover athlete earlier this summer. James is also producer of the game's soundtrack, hand-picking which songs he wanted. One of those songs is featured in the trailer: "Hate Me Now" by Nas feat. Puff Daddy.
The way the trailer is edited makes it seem like everyone hates Lebron James -- which would've been the case two years ago. The trailer shows a highlight reel of plays by NBA superstars, including James Harden, Rajon Rondo, Dwight Howard, Tony Parker and Blake Griffin.
NBA 2K14 releases on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 1.
