Yes I think toning exercises are a great idea. I find 10 minutes after exercising is great for me and it just becomes a habit.

Applied Radiology
By Sabine Duffy-Sandstrom
There's no denying the appeal of new, high-quality medical imaging equipment. However, that desire for the latest, greatest technology is being tempered with the sobering realization that health care budgets are increasingly limited. For that reason, more U.S. hospitals and imaging centers are embracing refurbished versions of highly respected, industry-leading imaging systems.
Certainly costs decrease with the purchase of refurbished imaging equipment – and ideally, quality of care increases through improved access to top-shelf imaging technology that doesn't bear those top-shelf prices. That said, companies that refurbish medical imaging systems don't all follow the same procedural handbook. Indeed, refurbishing standards and processes can vary widely – and so can the end results.
Before committing to the purchase of any refurbished imaging system, decision-makers at hospitals and medical imaging centers should ask these 6 smart questions:
Responses to these 6 questions will help ensure that hospitals and imaging centers are purchasing nothing less than the best when they turn to refurbished imaging equipment to save money and provide quality patient care.
Professional Biography: Sabine Duffy-Sandstrom is vice president of refurbished systems at Siemens Healthcare.

The Host
By SAI81 (360 reviews) from Tonbridge , 02 Dec 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
A small riverside village in South Korea is attacked by a monster. Among the dead is 13 year old Park Hyun-seo (Ko). Her distraught Father (Song), Grandfather (Byeon) Uncle (Park) and Aunt (Bae) are taken into custody by the American millitary, seeking to cover up the monster and contain the threat of a possible contagion. However when Hyun-seo phones her father, very much alive, the family break out to try and save her.
The Host broke all South Korean box office records when it opened early this year and it isn't hard to see why. Bong Joo-ho's follow up to Memories of Murder may seem at first glance a 180 degree shift but it actually sticks quite close to the serio-comic tone laid out in that film.
The Host is many things; monster movie, chase thriller, political commentary and slapstick comedy all rear their head and all are executed with panache.
Aiding Bong immesurably is an excellent cast. Bong recasts his Memories star Song Kang-ho, a fine and versatile dramatic actor, as the layabout father at the centre of the story. Seeming half stoned much of the time he pushes the boat out pretty far into broad comedy, but it works because Song is also able to give the character heart. If there's a criticism to be made here it's that the rest of the family have too little to do, particularly in the fractious last third of the film but they are certainly played by a capable set of performers. Bae Doo-na will be the most familliar face to Westerners, having starred in Sympathy For Mr Vengeance (with Song) and she's great here too, given the thin material. Byeon Hie-bong is a delight as the patriarch of the family who still treats his children as if they were children. Mention should also be made of the exceellent performance that Bong elicits from young Ko Ah-sung, whose strength will lead you to question whther she needs saving at all.
Working with an American digital effects house Bong has got, on a relative shoestring, some excellent effects. His budget forces him to be choosy about when he wishes to show his (pretty damn scary) monster and means that the film, unlike so many American production, isn't a mere exercise in effects.
That's, at the end of the day, what's so good about The Host; it may be a big silly monster movie at first glance but at its heart beats a strong human story.- Was this review helpful to you?

(200)Park life
By blackpolekev (248 reviews) from blackpole , 17 Nov 2012The lives of the Park family are turned upside down when a creature emerges from Han River and captures the young granddaughter. This is a well made monster movie which at times creates a lot of suspense. The cast is unknown to me except for Du-na Bae (from Take Care Of My Cat and Sympathy For Mr Vengeance). The only negative thing I can say about this film is the ending which seems unnecessary and would have been so much better had it been different. But that aside this is so good I saw it twice. Be careful what you pour down the sink....

Sometimes a funny film aimed at general viewing
By TeamGregg (6 reviews) , 04 Sep 2011An entertaining and sometimes funny film aimed at general viewing rather than horror fans. It does seem to go on longer than needed and reading white letterered subtitles against pale backgrounds can make the film seem a bit hard going. Some interesting and nice characters, but the film seemed to lack substance.- Was this review helpful to you?

Catalan Dragons are to give a week's trial to rugby union forward Marc Baget.
The 28-year-old Bayonne number eight, formerly with Biarritz, is said to be considering a switch of codes and trained with the Super League club for the first time this morning.
"I met Marc for the first time two or three years ago and he has always been interested by our sport," said Catalan chairman Bernard Guasch.
"He wanted to try his hand and we are pleased to welcome him in our squad for a trial week."

Calvin Klein's Hamptons Teardown
Some have expressed happiness to see the home disappear. Du Pont's original home had been given a ludicrously lavish makeover by financier Barry Turpin. He took a classic Hamptons home and turned it into one of those American castles that some of the rich sometimes amuse themselves by constructing. It now has turrets, towers and all sorts of flourishes which make it stick out like a sore thumb in the area. Klein's more low-slung and understated beach home will likely be a better fit. And yet, on Newday's poll many voted for the option saying that Dragon's Head is beautiful and should be preserved.

More on Josh Hill
Thursday, January 10, 2013 | 8:50 PMRCH Racing's Josh Hill was sidelined Saturday night after suffering a mild concussion and injury to his right hand at the season opening Monster Energy Supercross Series race in Anaheim. It was previously released that he would be sitting out the next 2-3 weeks from racing.
Today Josh Hill was cleared by a personal doctor in regards to his concussion and he is 100% in this regard. However, after further evaluation, it was found that he has a crack in a bone in his hand and will be casted for the next 7-10 days. Josh is working hard to get healthy and is scheduled to be return to racing in Oakland.
The RCH Racing team will have a single entry at this week's SX event in Phoenix with Broc Tickle riding the No. 20 Dodge/Sycuan Casino/RCH Racing/Bel-Ray/Suzuki RM-Z450.

The Conversation
Dude is always hurt!! Get a real rider a prvite 1st class guy that is healthy !! RC its time to step up.......
Hate to say it but its time to hang it up man. Just cant stay healthy.
You guys are negative idiots,The dude is an awesome rider and will get some luck on his side and come back to his old self!
I'm thinking of a certain other Suzuki support rider that could use the factory hardware while Josh is down.....
JH really should retire. He's using up a slot that some deserving rider could have, and he's done. Write it down.
Josh is still young. Has better days ahead of him! Go Josh!
@ carlsbad
Metcalf forget it.......... maybe outdoors only
Yeah i guess Trey Canard should probably hang it up to then...You guys are all dumbasses
Except canard actually wins now and then.
And Canard wasn't out trying friggin' backflips. I don't know that its RETIREment time. Really can't see him winning ever again, there are 7 guys that can or will be able to win this and next year. I hope he gets healthy and stays there!!
Just let Hansen race his bike this weekend... Since he's not gonna race this weekend.. He does hang it out in SX and is good for a takeout or 2...
@trailmaster, i agree! There are some real negative guys on the bench; tough crowd. Hope josh will not be onthe bench long. He has some skills...looking forward to Oakland.
Some serious a-holes posting on Racer X anymore! Josh earned his ride having sheer determination! Hoping the kid lands on the podium.
Like Canard and any of our racers. They all deserve 2nd and 3rd chances until they prove they don't have the heart and desire to "turn the throttle". So I say give him another chance. His comeback has been monumental.
However, one thing I don't agree with is he's heavy again and out of shape. He should have come in trim and lean. There are "no" out of shape riders winning these races. Look at Millsaps. He's in great shape and look at his results. Terribly dissappointing to see Josh Hill come in looking like the Pillsbery Dough Boy.
Man, we all feel for Josh! How difficult and frustrating. Now, don't go feeling sorry for me here, but I only got hurt once (20 years ago) –– and never got up again. The first bone I ever broke was my spine (along with a dislocated hip). Hey, I'm trying to be encouraging here. :D Keep chipping away Josh! We're all pulling for you!
It would be another great comeback story if JH75 could pull a Canard before years end. Best of luck to him.
Go Hill, you got this.
xoxo161 - you make a good point about being fit. Some guys who get hurt frequently just have very bad luck, guys like Canard and Villopoto for example. They ride on the edge and every now and then they cross it. But no one can fault their training and fitness.
Then you have guys like Josh Grant and Josh Hill, who as far as I can tell, do not really put a huge effort into being superfit. They always look a little soft and "doughy". And I think some of their crashes and injuries can be attributed to this, they are crashing hard and getting hurt and not even running near the top speed. Same thing with JS7, since 2009 he has not really been taking his overall fitness and training as serious as he ever did when Baker was working with him. I mean, he has always been checkers or wreckers, but since 2010 his wad-frequency is much higher.
charlie mccarthy
You are a dirt bag !
Bunch of morons posting here. Who hasnt got injured in SX ? Hill needs to heal up and every week try improve his fitness and results.
Wow some are you guys are real A holes man. Give the kid a break So if RV would have hurt something last weekend he should have just given it all up right? WRONG RV has had a wrist, two acls,two legs and noone has written him off. Josh is a fighter. Out of all of us who here has done the damage he has done to his legs and kept riding? Noone Bench racing is getting rediculous.
@Kawi62 - that is why they are "just" bench racers - anonymous keyboard cowards...useless hacks....
yea, i dont even know why i scroll down to read these comments anymore. to say something towards someone to retire, get out of the sport, you dont deserve your ride, and you dont train, your not fit enough.. HOW THE F*&K can you set behind a keyboard and type stuff like that? Not just on this tread but almost every other thread or topic on here.
For all saying Hill should "hang it up/quit', have you heard of a QB named Drew Brees, or Adrian Peterson, maybe Jeremy Shockey?????
Concussions are serious; even minor ones! I was reading about a HS football player that suffered a "minor" concussion and was cleared by his doctor after a clean CT scan. He was then hit again in a practice scrimmage and his brain swelled bigtime and now he has permanent disability!! This caught the doctors completely by surprise! We just don't know enough about comsussions!
@ Thor7, Bummer about your bad break. Its good that your still a fan.
@ Moto87, "comsussions" thats funny man, I'm feeling the effects a little more these days of 8 to 10 concussions through out my riding days (44 years). Its frustrating sometimes and just hope people don't notice it most times.
Josh Hill will be back and fast, he must have a good handle on his foot issues, I had the same injury and it scared the crap outta me but fortunatley it healed up to 95 %. He looked so fit before his 'backflip', needs to get back on the program.
That sucks. Hill has some bad luck. If it was raining vag!na, Hill would still get hit in the face with a d1ck. I hope his luck turns around.
Remember K-Dub snapping his leg on that Zuki & Stanton if I remember, broke his leg numerous places, his parents wanted him to quit? Its up to Josh bottom line.
canoe589 is dead on. What a bunch of pr!cks. First, Jeff Willoh is telling KDub to hang it up after teaching everyone the fast line through the A1 sand and getting a tenth(!), now everyone is on Hill. Why you people think your career counseling is worthwhile, I'll never understand.
Josh Hill is one of the nicest dudes. None of the haters would walk up to him in the pits and tell him how washed up he is. He can qualify any supercross race which is an amazing accomplishment. He deserves to be there and has many good rides ahead of him.
Like i said a bunch of heros on here think they know it all,I can't even feel my right foot from a serious injury and i adjusted to it and fixed my brake pedal up a little more and ride like it never happened,They would never tell him to his face he is done cause they're a bunch of keyboard warriors who could never qualify to make it in a sx!
Feel terrible for this guy. I wish him well and hope he can come back strong.
It's time for the dude to hang it up. He reminds me of Broc Hepler - major talent but can't stay healthy.... and yes, I would tell that to his face.
Hill will win again
Josh Hill better man up like RGIII if he wants any future in the sport. Sometimes you gota play hurt!
Lol @ KTMTom, "Hi Josh, you have major talent but can't stay healthy. You should hang it up. Well, bye."
Josh - "Hey thanks man, you are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day."
josh got outta his element tryin backflips,your a racer or a stunt guy,bit him and that crap will haunt ya,game over. rc pick someone from loretta lynns and give them a chance,plenty of talent if given motovation and support,dungey does ok i think
Good luck buddy!
IT9 as a fill in rider this year and a replace Hill next year.
no doubt, this is a critical season for josh hill, he must show results if he is to continue to get a "paying" gig. no skin off my ass if he races or not.......... but he has to turn this thing around or it might be the end. with that said, i say "good luck josh". (some say we make our own luck) that back flip was such a bad decision, i think he could have been a title contender. wish he would have focused on racing.
tomktm, you should just quit riding also. You're not going pro.
man what bitterness!!! leave the kid alone.
josh hill is his own boss like everyone else and he should enjoy his own choices...no one can say what he should do ..he's as tough as the rest of the riders..
I'd gladly talk to him face to face and try to convince him to quit. It's for his own good. He's not in race shape, and he's not competitive. If he keeps trying to race at that level, he's going to get injured again. I don't wish him ill - quite the opposite. Sometimes discretion really is the better part of valor.
@Confucius say
you have no idea what your talking about josh is about to shut all you haters up come oakland
If JH can get a top 5 at Oakland, I'll eat an inner tube.
I like Josh Hill, but whe RCH picked him up I was like " I know he's no-genious but, Is RC retarded?"

Highlights: Ontario (Toronto, Ottawa) , Quebec (Montreal, Quebec City)
As your helicopter banks gently over the raging waters of Niagara Falls, you'll truly understand the immense power of nature that is at its most breathtaking in this picturesque region on Canada.
Not far from Toronto lies the majestic Niagara Falls where you'll cruise close to the churning white water in the iconic Maid of the Mist, or experience a breathtaking aerial view on a helicopter joy flight. Reflect on the experience at one of the region's elegant wineries, and visit the quaint town of Niagara-on-the-Lake for a good dose of old-world charm. Take the train to Ottawa and see the city from the water on a scenic cruise, and cycle its network of bike paths into the forests of Gatineau Park. Elsewhere, discover the historic cultural and culinary pleasures of Old Montreal; explore the French heritage of Quebec City; and visit the impressive Montmorency Falls that are 1.5 times taller than Niagara.
A series of scenic train rides will transport you between cities on this immersive trip and reveal a shifting slideshow of beautiful natural vistas that characterize the Ontario and Quebec regions. You'll enjoy elegant accommodation in a range of properties that span big-city hotels, refined chateaus and French colonial properties, while your experienced team of local guides will ensure you get the most out of every moment.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.

Enjoy a buffet lunch (included) overlooking the Niagara Falls, before a boat ride onboard the "Maid of the Mist" (replaced by "Journey Behind the Falls" from October to April due to winter conditions). You can take advantage of an impromptu helicopter flight (not included) before leaving the falls (or it can be pre-booked by us if you prefer - please speak to your Advisor if you would like to add this). After having had some time at leisure by the Falls, you will be taken to the nearby picturesque town of Niagara-on-the-Lake where you can browse through the artisanal shops and perhaps stop to have an afternoon coffee in one of the many cafes before being returned to Toronto.
Enjoy a train ride from Toronto to Ottawa. Train duration is approximately 5hr.
Fairmont Château Laurier (4*) is a reflection of the confidence, dignity and style of Ottawa. It stands as a testament to this dynamic and thriving city.

The Rideau Canal offers miles of bicycle and inline skating paths and the world's longest skating rink just outside the door. The nearby Gatineau Hills offer great hiking, biking and canoeing, and in the winter, cross-country ski trails and excellent downhill thrills. With Winterlude, the Tulip Festival and countless other festivals, Ottawa is a flurry of activity year round. Once the wealth of sights has been taken in, drop by the Health Club or satisfy your appetite at one of the superb restaurants.
Sail the Ottawa river on this chared boat cruise. The cruise offers you the view of the city as well as it's major attractions, including sightseeing of Parliament Hill, Museum of Civilization, Rideau Falls and more!
Consider renting a bike for the afternoon and seeing the city and surrounds on two wheels. Ottawa is criss-crossed by hundreds of kilometers of recreational pathways that are perfectly suited for biking. (They may also be used for walking, in-line skating and other non-motorized modes of transport). These recreational pathways include a variety of scenic routes along the Ottawa and Rideau Rivers, along the UNESCO World Heritage Site-Rideau Canal, and venturing into the province of Quebec and the forests of Gatineau Park. If you feel like doing an organised tour, consider a tour to Victoria Island where you can learn about the aboriginal people, enjoy a BBQ lunch, participate in a traditional pow wow dance, and/or make your own aboriginal art work.

Your expert guide will bring you through all the historical treasures of Quebec such as: Place Royale, Notre Dame Basilica, Plains of Abraham, Parliament Building, Montmorency Falls, Ile D'Orleans, and Place D'Armes. Place Royale was the birthplace of French civilization in North America. The architecture of its homes and its narrow streets attract visitors worldwide. Enjoy some time at leisure to shop and have lunch (not included) in the oldest quarter in North America. There will be some more free time in the Petit Champlain district before going to the "escalier Casse-Cou" - translated as "break neck staircase" not nearly as dangerous as its name implies. On board the funicular elevator that descends a cliff linking Upper and Lower Old Quebec will give you a magnificent view of the river and its surroundings. From Quebec city, the tour continues to Montmorency Falls - impressive 83 m. high waterfalls that are 1.5 times that of Niagara Falls. There will be time to take in the grand sight before returning to Montreal.
There are many optional activities to choose from in Montreal. Spend time wandering through the historical part of town, taking in all of the sights and smells along the way as you weave your way through the cobblestoned streets. Alternatively, head to St. Catherine's street, which has a dizzying array of shops to choose from and where you can see where the locals source their great sense of style. If you feel like a longer excursion, consider a day trip to Quebec - the oldest city in North America and a UNESCO designated city with a side trip to the impressive Montmorency falls. If you feel like staying within the city limits, consider a tour taking in the Olympic Tower, Biodrome, Botanical Gardens and Insectariums, a guided walking or a biking tour through the city, or a themed tour such as the Bourgeoisie area of Westmount or the lesser known parks and gardens of the city. Please let your Sales Advisor know if any of these options are of interest.
Enjoy the train ride from Montreal to Quebec. Train duration is approximately 3.5hr.
Accompanied by a local guide, discover the best boutiques and shopping in Old Quebec. This tour can be done by foot.
Since 1870, the Clarendon Hotel (4*) has embodied the prestige of Old Quebec, standing proudly across from the gardens beside City Hall in a neighbourhood featuring cobblestone streets, decorative gardens and a grove of century-old trees. You are sure to appreciate our incomparable hospitality, which has been enjoyed by vacationers and famous artists and musicians for over a hundred years. The hotel is located next to the Price Building, where the Premier of Quebec lives when the National Assembly is in session. Maybe you will meet a Minister of the Provincial Government at the hotel. After all, the Clarendon, a favoured meeting spot for members of the provincial legislature for decades now, can almost be considered a second "Parliament Building".
Enjoy a shared walking tour of the old city of Quebec and gain an understanding of the history and the everyday-life of this World Heritage Site. On a leisurely paced downhill path, the tour starts from Place d'Armes (Armoury Square), in the heart of the Old city, with a general introduction to the history of Quebec City and its importance in time. The Dufferin Terrace with its breathtaking view of surrounding landscapes, the St-Lawrence River and the Citadel (star-shaped fort built in the 1820s) follow. The tour curves around famous Chateau Frontenac and enters the shades of the Governors' Garden. The Grand Tour pauses to recapture a few of the most notorious events and people in Canadian history whether they came to life on the Plains of Abraham or at nearby Chateau Frontenac.
There are lots of activities to keep you busy while you are in Quebec city. Consider a tour to the nearby Isle d'Orleans and visit an orchard to taste their ciders, duck terrine, confit, marinades. You can also experience an authentic sugar shack on the island and its traditional menu and cultural entertainment. Alternatively, consider a full day of whale watching. For the sports enthusiasts, an adrenaline-filled morning or afternoon para-gliding, downhill mountain biking or canyoning is available. You may like to do a day trip to Ste-Anne waterfalls and Canyon - an amazing attraction with 3 suspension bridges including one of the highest in Quebec, 60 meters above the gorge. There is an easy and accessible path and the tour would include a nature discovery of Mont-Ste-Anne featuring a panoramic ride in the gondola and lunch at the mountain. Whatever your fancy, Quebec City will not disappoint.

A Talk with "Keeping Score" co-director Joan Saffa Page 3
Thomas with a bust of Mahler in the Vienna State Opera House
RR: Does the knowledge that your work will be seen and heard in multiple formats — TV, DVD, Blu-ray — have any effect on your approach and process as director?
JS: More than 6 million American households have watched Keeping Score since the series first aired. However, with the Mahler documentary — in addition to TV, DVD, and Blu-ray — it will also be seen in theaters, starting with a world premiere in Vienna.
Historically, Vienna has been the mecca of classical music, and the Viennese are a very discerning audience. Also, since Mahler was director of the Vienna Court Opera for many years, he's a native son — and the San Francisco musicians are Americans bringing Mahler back to Vienna. So with this audience in particular, we wanted to make sure the sound quality and the music were absolutely the best they could be.
Since PBS has guidelines for an acceptable dynamic range on a show, it was important for us to do a separate mix of the Mahler shows for the theatrical and disc releases, with no dynamic restrictions. So, there are two mixes of the Mahler, each appropriate for its respective format.
Meanwhile, clips from the shows will appear on the interactive Keeping Score Web site (keepingscore.org) and as part of educational programs designed for K-12 classrooms. So, there's even more to keep in mind as we're filming, since Keeping Score presents innovative, thought-provoking classical music via a whole host of integrated multimedia.

Warning....I bought this for my 2012 GasGas 300 because it was labeled for it, but when it arrived it is the old style filter for 97' thru 06'. In 07' GasGas changed the filter cage and this dos not fit correctly. It can be made to work in a pinch, but if you are like me and value putting the correct fitting parts on your $9000 bike don't use it. I have contacted PC Racing, but it looks as if they don't care to much about correct parts for your bike. I sent pics to PC Racing with the old and new style filter cages and they sent back an email saying it fits and one of his employees uses it. Beware it is NOT the correct fit. A plus, I have a 97' GasGas and it fits and works great. I like the filter skin you can pull off and keep going.

This thing is awesome!!! You can double the time between filters with these skins. At the dunes, since its nasty on the intake, I can have one filter skin for each day. Easy to install, and works great!!!! Wish I knew of these before. Will never not use them again.

The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco is home to a unique collection of 167 film negatives taken by photographer Arnold Genthe chronicling the aftermath of the 1906 earthquake and fires. The negatives were acquired by the Legion of Honor in 1943.Arnold Genthe (photographer), American, 1869–1942Untitled (Earthslip on San Francisco's Union Street), 1906

Cellulose nitrate film was introduced commercially at the end of the nineteenth century and remained in use until the mid-twentieth century. Lightweight, transparent and flexible, cellulose nitrate film freed photographers from the inconveniences of its predecessors, paper and glass plate negatives.

Appeals court reinstates Waukesha stalking case
Wisconsin's anti-stalking law does not amount a restraint of free expression, the state Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday.
The decision follows Waukesha County Circuit Judge James Kieffer's decision to dismiss stalking charges against Gary M. Hemmingway, 52, after he argued Wisconsin's law was overbroad regulation of constitutionally protected speech.
"We reverse," the court ruled. "The First Amendment does not protect intentional conduct designed to cause serious emotional distress or fear of bodily harm or death in a targeted victim."
Hemmingway is charged with sending a steady stream of intimidating texts, emails and phone calls to his ex-wife, who felt threatened and upset by the communications, which included such comments as:
- That he would blow his brains out and make a mess of her kitchen.
- That he would love to see someone hold a gun to her head as she begged for her life.
- That the only way she could feel his pain is if both her sons died at the same time.
She believed Hemmingway had a gun, and said that during a 2008 domestic abuse episode, he told her, "I have not killed anyone in a long time. I don't know who's going to be first, you or me."
The court noted that the stalking statute prohibits conduct, not speech.
"The use of the language is not against the law. What is against the law is the intentional course of conduct to inflict harm, which the language shows."

Even though his decision was reversed, I admire this Judge's willingness to stand up for people's Constitutional Rights. Our rights seems to be eroding and its nice to see some Judges out there who still care.
Sounds like you need to be stalked for a while and see if you feel the same way. Perhaps, you would want murder to be legal so murderers can express themselves and utilize their constitutional right to kill.
What? This wacko threatens not only his victim from the restraining order but also her children. This is protected speech?
How did the first court get it wrong??? Lawyers and judges run the country that is why we have such a mess!!!
WOW !!!!!!! Guess he won't be going Deer Hunting with a firearm this year! YUCK !!!
In the last paragraph The Appeals Court first says the use of language is not against the law but then turns around in the next sentence and says it its. The first amendment is clear "Congress shall make no law restricting freedom of speech". So they made a law here and the Appeals Court says that's all fine and dandy. Can't these Courts read the first amendment anymore?
That issue aside, this guy is no good for saying these things but then again nobody forced the ex-wife to open his emails, read his texts, or answer his phone calls. Why didn't she just ignore him?-
Your last point is moot and a little mean spirited. The woman is affraid of this man, who has expressed homicidal and suicidal thoughts in writing and by voice. That is grounds enough to strengthen her case. You may not have read the context of harm to her and her children by violence. Perhaps that should be the salient detail yo take away from this article rather than your "concern" about the first amendment.
@unreasonable - Constitutional Law rules the land. The constitution cannot be applied cafeteria style it must be firm in its definition otherwise we might as well all live in Russia.
I'm sure there must be other legal avenue's that she can pursue to evict this animal from her life, but in the process don't let the government define what speech is acceptable and what's not.
This has been a wide held belief that you can threatened people under the 1st. I had a similar experience and the justice system would not pursue charges. Milwaukee DA said it wasn't enough to have even a signed confession from the stalker to prosecute. They needed physical injuries to pursue charges as battery. The stalker did openly confess to issuing threats right in the courthouse bragging about it. I moved and that was all I could do. Punish the victim if she is female is how it goes.
That is exactly what she should have done.
I'm 100% for defending rights but this was a clear case of harassment.
You think the courts should not have an opinion on where safety and rights meet?
Yell fire in a crowded area and see what it gets you.

Comments about Deuter Speed Lite 20 Pack:
I was interested in trying to lighten up my daypack as I tend to take everything under the sun on hikes. I have an Osprey Stratos 24 (no longer made) that I really love, but I wanted something lighter and smaller and simpler. The Deuter Speed Lite 20 really delivers all that and more. It is very light--just over a pound, so in addition to working well as a daypack, it would be great as a summit pack when backpacking. I chose the Deuter for several reasons: The shoulder straps are burly--as burly as a much larger pack. Most of the ultralight packs have very thin shoulder straps and when carrying a fairly heavy load can become very uncomfortable. The Speed Lite 20 has the heaviest duty shoulder straps of any in that class I checked out. It is very very comfortable on the trail. It has side compression straps that can loop around so that you can use the pack to carry snowshoes, skis, a jacket, etc. Nice feature for an ultralight pack. The stuffit pocket on the back is well-thought out and holds items securely. Side mesh pockets for water bottles, etc (also fits a bladder). This is a simple, elegant, yet feature-rich ultralight daypack. I highly recommend it.

When using a second floor shower, the faucet continues to leak water while the shower head water is flowing. Too, there's no access to the pipes inside the wall, or a cut-off valve. It's done this since the house was built in 2005. Any ideas to resolve this issue? | |||
Assuming that you mean that while the shower is running there is water dripping out of the tub spout below? If so, then there are several causes - can vary depending on how your fixture is set up to divert water from the lower tub spout to the upper shower head. If you have to lift a tab or push up on the bottom of the tub spout, then the seal up inside is not making contact or is damaged. You can replace the seal (if you can find a match) or you can replace the entire spout as they are not that expensive. If you turn a lever or pull a tab up near the faucet, then there is a washer inside that will need to be replaced. Here too, the tricky part if finding the right replacement part. Most home stores have an extensive selection of faucet parts but it's usually best to remove the damaged part from your faucet and take it with you to get a perfect match. Jaybee | ||||
or, it might be a simple adjustment of the diverter valve that will allow the diverter to close the spigot opening | ||||

Fans hoping to see the Timberwolves' sensational rookie Ricky Rubio battle with Chris Paul are probably going to have to wait until March 5, when the two teams meet in Minnesota.
Clippers head coach Vinny Del Negro didn't 100 percent rule Paul out for tonight, but he did say he didn't imagine Paul would recover enough by tonight to suit up. The Clippers are hoping Paul will be ready Sunday when the team hosts Toronto at 12:30 p.m.
Brian Cook will not play Friday night, shortening the Clippers' bench against Minnesota's deep front line.

It was only about three weeks since I released PresentationBuilder 2.4.0, and it is already time for a new release. There was an annoying problem with PresentationBuilder - if two slides referred to the same image, the image was duplicated in the generated presentation. This was particularly problematic if you have a corporate logo that is placed on each slide - this issue could cause the physical size of the presentation to grow unnecessarily. This issue is now fixed.
For those who haven't been introduced to PresentationBuilder, it is a module in PowerTools for Open XML that enables you to take pieces and parts of any number of PowerPoint presentations, and assemble a new valid presentation out of them. If you are not familiar with PresentationBuilder, see the various screen-casts at the PresentationBuilder Resource Center on this site.
In addition to this one important enhancement, PresentationBuilder 2.5.0 contains the various improvements made to 2.4.0. The enhancements are for robustness; I haven't changed the functionality or API at all. You can download it from the Downloads tab at powertools.codeplex.com.
PresentationBuilder now supports:
This version requires the Open XML SDK 2.5 and the .NET Framework 4.0.

What does this phrase mean? And in what cases is it appropriate to use it?
Two phrases:
| |||||||||||||
Yes, it can sometimes mean: "I really don't care". For example if you let somebody know of a sexual conquest you made while out last Saturday night, you might expect to hear it. | |||||||||
"Good for you" generally has an abrasive expression in itself. When someone boasts too much about one's qualities which are of least inclination for the other person, then he would say "Good for you". | |||||
Good for you is usually used to express approval toward a person, but in some contexts it has a different meaning. The meaning of the more generic phrase good for is "having a advantageous effect on". | ||||
Definition from Cambridge Dictionaries Online: Two additional examples that I extracted from the COCA: 1. 2. | |||||||||
