We should all be so fortunate to have characters like Minnie, Abileen and Ms. Skeeter in our lives: so selfless they make you feel hopeful, so loving they make you feel warm and so fierce in their convictions they actually make you feel fearful and all in the face of a deep ignorance that made you feel sick. Even if you haven't already experienced ladies like them in your life, they were well-enough developed that you grew to know them. This was an easy read even though the material was often hard to stomach, and some of the lines had me laughing out loud. Chocolate pie will never be the same!

About the Publication: Newsweek originated as The Illustrated News Magazine, founded in 1933 by Thomas J. Martyn, a former editor of Time magazine. It was published by Weekly Publication, Inc., based in Dayton, Ohio, with editorial and executive departments in New York City. Eventually the name became News-Week, then Newsweek by the end of the 1930s. In 1961, Washington Post publisher Philip L. Graham bought the magazine. In addition to current news events, the magazine's coverage includes art, health, science, religion, economics, and sports.
In 1960, all fifty states prohibited abortion, though forty-five exempted women whose pregnancy threatened their life. Women who wanted an abortion either paid surgeons large fees, went to amateurs, or sought the procedure abroad.
State legislatures softened their opposition to abortion during the decade. Colorado led the way in permitting abortion in the case of rape or incest. Other states questioned the wisdom of forcing women to give birth to...

About the Author: Morris King Udall (1922–1998) was born in St. John's, Arizona. He served 30 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was the Alaska Lands Act, which substantially increased the size of the national park system. In 1976, Udall sought the Democratic nomination for president, losing to Jimmy Carter (served 1977–1981). He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1979, and retired from politics in 1991.

"Heart Transplantation in Man"
Journal article

Source: Hardy, James D. "Heart Transplantation in Man." Journal of the American Medical Association 188, June 29, 1964, 1132–1134, 1135, 1138–1140.
About the Author: James D. Hardy (1918–2003) grew up in Newala, Alabama, and received a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1942. In 1951, the university awarded him the Master of Medical Science in physiological chemistry. His transplant of a chimpanzee heart into a human in 1964 made international headlines. Hardy served as chairman of the surgery department of Loma Linda Medical Center in California from 1955 until his retirement in 1987.
The transplant of a heart or any other organ into a human is complicated by the fact that the immune system recognizes a new heart or other organ in the same way it recognizes bacteria or viruses—as a foreign invader. This recognition leads the immune system to manufacture white blood cells and antibodies to attack the invader. While in the case of bacteria and viruses this reaction protects the body, in the case of a heart transplant the white blood cells and antibodies may damage the heart enough to kill the patient.

About the Organization: Congress created the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1953 upon the recommendation of President Dwight D. Eisenhower (served 1953–1961). The department consolidated several medical and health agencies under one umbrella. Among its agencies was the Public Health Service, which examined the link between smoking and illness.
The smoking of tobacco and its relation to health has a curious history. Virginia planters exported tobacco to England and continental Europe beginning in 1617, only ten years after the founding of the Jamestown colony. King James I of England declared smoking a filthy habit. He was Scottish by birth, leading many Englishmen to disdain him as a foreigner. In an era when no government tolerated criticism, Englishmen could, without fear of arrest, express their dislike of King James by smoking tobacco.
Eager to adopt the...

About the Organization: A group of 250 physicians and surgeons formed the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1847 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Currently headquartered in Chicago, the AMA has grown to 250,000 members, including half of all U.S. physicians. The Association develops and promotes standards in medical practice, research, and education; provides advocacy for physicians and patients; and disseminates information through its Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and other publications.
The development of vaccines and antibiotics reduced the number of deaths from infectious diseases in the first half of the twentieth century, leaving heart disease as the leading killer of Americans by 1955, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report. At the time, heart disease felled twice as many Americans as cancer, the second-leading killer.
The risk of heart disease increases with age, partly because the heart shrinks and loses strength as a person ages. By age...

About the Author: Anne G. Eifler earned a Ph.D. in nutrition from Iowa State University in 1958 and joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service as a nutritionist in 1961. She retired from the department in 1995 and died in 2002 in Ames, Iowa.
The federal government had promoted the health of Americans since Congress founded the Public Health Service in 1789. The federal commitment to health grew during the 1960s.
Lyndon Baines Johnson (served 1963–1969), who became president upon John F. Kennedy's (served 1961–1963) assassination, made the quality of Americans' health a priority. He crafted an ambitious agenda, the "Great Society," that included extending government-sponsored medical coverage to the aged and poor. In 1965 he guided Medicare through Congress, guaranteeing medical coverage to Americans at least 65 years old. The next year he persuaded Congress to enact Medicaid, which extended coverage to Americans who fell below an income threshold. In 1968 he estimated that...

Fairfax just enacted its ban or plastic bags in retail locations on May 4, 2009.
Larry Bragman, Mayor of the northern California town of Fairfax, discusses the need for and commercial benefit of banning plastic bags in this video.
Advocates of the ban, including fellow city council member Lew Tremaine (Green Party) and lifelong resident Andy Peri, first brought the resolution forward to the city council last June. However, two bag manufacturers threatened to sue the town because the council had not conducted an environmental review. The council decided to make the ban voluntary. By the fall, an anti-plastic bag measure was on the ballot and passed with 79 per cent of the vote, thus evading the need (and expense) of an "environmental review".

Abstract: From concept to engineering, and from design to test and manufacturing, the automotive industry relies on powerful virtual development solutions. CFD and crash simulations are performed in an effort to secure quality and speed up the development process. The recent trends in cluster environments, such as multi-core CPUs and interconnect consolidation are changing the dynamics of clustered-based simulations. Software applications are being reshaped for higher parallelism, as well as hardware configurations for solving the new demands on scalability and efficiency. Both "productivity-aware" and "power-aware" have become metrics for new systems design and implementations. The system architecture needs to be capable of providing higher productivity for present and future simulations; while maintaining low power consumption. In this paper we cover best practices for achieving maximum productivity while sustaining or reducing power consumption on LS-DYNA simulations.

Abstract: The Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) Model is a fully functioning modeling system for atmospheric research and operational weather prediction communities. With an emphasis on efficiency, portability, maintainability, scalability and productivity, WRF has been successfully deployed over the years on a wide variety of HPC clustered compute nodes connected with high speed interconnects - currently the most used system architecture for high-performance computing. As such, understanding WRF dependency on the various clustering elements, such as the CPU, interconnects and the software libraries are crucial for enabling efficient predictions and high productivity. Our results identify WRF's communication-sensitive points and demonstrate WRF's dependency on high-speed networks and fast CPU to CPU communication. Both factors are critical to maintaining scalability and increasing productivity when adding cluster nodes. We conclude with specific recommendations for improving WRF performance, scalability, and productivity as measured in jobs per day. Because proprietary hardware and software can quickly erode cluster architecture's favorable economics, we will restrict our investigation to standards based hardware and open source software readily available to typical research institutions.
Oil and Gas High Performance Computing Workshop 2009 Rice University, McMurtry Auditorium - Duncan Hall |
Presenters: Gilad Shainer & Tong Liu (Mellanox Technologies), Joshua Mora (AMD), Jacob Liberman (Dell), Owen Brazell (Schlumberger)
Abstract: Schlumberger's ECLIPSE Reservoir Engineering software is a widely used oil and gas reservoir numerical simulation suite. Like many other High Performance Computing (HPC) applications, ECLIPSE runs in a complex ecosystem of hardware and software components. Maximizing ECLIPSE performance requires a deep understanding of how each component impacts the overall solution. However, as new hardware and software comes to market, design decisions are often based on assumptions or projections rather than empirical testing. This presentation removes the guesswork from cluster design for ECLIPSE by providing best practices for increased performance and productivity. It includes scalability testing, interconnect performance comparisons, job placement strategies, and power efficiency considerations. It also introduces an ongoing collaboration between Dell, AMD, and Mellanox dedicated to publishing timely application-specific best practices and performance data.

TRAVEL HAUL! Revlon, No 7, Soap & Glory…
Traveling for work can be tiring and stressful sometimes, but there are certain things along the way that can perk you up. One of those is, of course, getting the opportunity to grab some beauty products I can't get readily, or at a better price.
I got my loot from 2 main places; Boots and Duty-Free.
Duty-Free: This was exciting for me, because I'd been lemming these Revlon items for SOOOO long and never knew they were available exclusively in the local airport Duty-Free.
I'm a little slow on the bandwagon since these aren't available in local drugstores, but here we are.
- Revlon Pink Pout Matte Lipstick
- Revlon Stormy Pink Matte Lipstick
- Revlon Pink Pop Super Lustrous Lipgloss
L-to-R: NYX Dolly Pink liner (for comparison), Revlon Pink Pout, Revlon Stormy Pink, Revlon Pink Pop
Revlon Pink Pout over NYX Dolly Pink
Pink Pout is a lovely cool-toned nude mauve which has been listed as a dupe for MAC Snob. While I don't think it's as opaque, it's still a really nice lipstick. If you're looking for a cool-toned nude-pink instead of the usual "concealer" shades, GET THIS. (Color is softer and more beige when worn without liner.)
Not recommended if you have extremely pigmented lips that you want your lipsticks to cover completely.
Revlon Stormy Pink over NYX Dolly Pink
Gorgeous in the tube, but extremely sheer going on. You will need to keep applying and re-applying to build up the color slowly, but even then, past a certain point, it just gets cakey and streaky. I got around it temporarily with a pale pink liner and balm smoothed over it.
Recommended only if you are extremely light-handed or shy of bright pinks. Otherwise, MAC Pink Nouveau will give you a much better payoff and texture.
Revlon Pink Pop
I've wanted this lipgloss for AGES, and I'm not disappointed. It's a beautiful cool-toned fuchsia that sheers out into a softer candy-pink without shimmer.
I liked it so much that I bought a backup for my backup on my return trip.
Boots (Thailand)
It's sad that a shopping haven like Singapore does not have a single Boots.
I get my Soap & Glory from Sephora, where it is inevitably marked up beyond what it usually costs.
Things I got on this trip were:
- The Fab Pore: a gentle exfoliating cream which doubles as a mask for oily, clogged skin. Little pellets break open as you rub, releasing salicylic acid and other treatment extracts onto your skin. There are no scrub grains whatsoever.
- Extreme-Plump: "Super-strong" clear lip plumper. I don't believe any lip plumpers actually plump lips. They sure feel like they do, but your actual lip size will not increase discernibly (no matter what you tell yourself) unless you're reacting extremely badly to the product. I like this as a cushy treatment which feels very much like Clinique Superbalm. And it tingles without being minty (boring) or burning your lips off (Too Faced - you know I'm talking about you…)
- No7 Extreme Lengths & Extravagant Lashes mascaras: Ok, I admit it. I really only bought these because I was so fascinated by all those fabulous Keeley Hawes mascara commercials. I haven't even tried them yet. Who cares?

Posted: Dec 6, 2012 4:21 PM by Cameron Polom, KSBY News
Updated: Dec 6, 2012 10:15 PM
A Virginia woman is being sued for $750,000 after she posted a negative review about a contractors work on Yelp.
The woman says she hired the contractor to perform renovations on her home. Dissatisfied with the work, she took to the internet to let her feelings be known.
The review accused him of billing her for work he hadn't completed and shoddy workmanship.
She also noted that some of her jewelry had gone missing while he was working in her home and warned readers to avoid hiring him.
Well that last part has gotten her in some hot water.
The question is what is free speech and did she cross the line?
Legal experts say that people are within their legal rights to post their opinions of a business or a contractor's performance, but cannot make unsupported allegations.
In a day and age where opinions can be found scattered all over the internet, where does the freedom of speech line begin and end?
"You can say what you want but it's not absolute," says Dr. Allen Settle, a political science professor at Cal Poly.
He says if you make untrue statements that damage a person reputation there can be consequences even when it's an online review.
"Once you make a personal statement about a person's reputation, that in fact can be a cause of action against that person, and you have the burden to show that," says Settle. "The first amendment is not absolute, and once you defame a person, that freedom can be removed and you could suffer some litigation consequences."
So if you can't prove what you say, settle says you can be on the losing end of a law suit.
In the case of the Virginia woman, those consequences could add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The bottom line is, while speech is protected under the constitution, its not unlimited.
If you make false or unproven statements that impact someone's reputation or livelihood, it could end up costing you.
As for the Virginia case, a judge ruled in favor of the contractor and yelp removed the unsupported accusations that he stole jewelry from her review.
They are now examining whether the contractor is eligible for compensation for lost business due to her review.

Tough-talking John Kerry opened swiftly-convened talks on Syria's chemical weapons by bluntly rejecting the country's pledge to begin a "standard process" by turning over information rather than weapons - and nothing immediately.
"This is not a game," the US secretary of state declared at an opening news conference in Geneva, Switzerland, with a stony-faced Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov at his side. "The words of the Syrian regime in our judgment are simply not enough."
The latest developments have gone rapidly from deadly chemical attacks to threats of retaliatory US air strikes, Syrian agreement with a Russian plan to turn over the weapons and, finally, to the crucial matter of working out the difficult details.
"We believe there is nothing standard about this process at this moment because of the way the regime has behaved," Mr Kerry said. And he kept alive the threat of US military action, saying the turnover of weapons must be complete, verifiable and timely - "and finally, there ought to consequences if it doesn't take place".
Adding to the drama, Russian president Vladimir Putin weighed in from afar, raising eyebrows with an opinion piece in The New York Times that chided Americans for seeing themselves as "exceptional".
That was an apparent reference to a comment President Barack Obama made in his Syria speech to the nation, explaining why he felt the US needed to take action.
Mr Putin also warned that a US strike against Syria because of chemical weapons use could unleash new terrorist attacks and maintained there was "every reason to believe" the weapons were used by rebels and not by Bashar Assad's military. In Washington, Mr Obama's spokesman said Russia was "isolated and alone" in that view.
Mr Obama, for his part, said simply that he was hoping for "a concrete result" from the Geneva talks.
The back-and-forth was a stark indication of the challenging work ahead as Mr Kerry, Mr Lavrov and their teams of chemical weapons experts plunge into talks aimed at finding agreement on how to dismantle the chemical weapons amid the confusion and danger of Syria's civil war. Mr Lavrov seemed to contradict Mr Kerry's negative view of Assad's offer to provide details on his country's chemical arsenal beginning 30 days after it signs an international convention banning such weapons.
Syria's ambassador to the United Nations said that as of Thursday his country had become a full member of the treaty, which requires destruction of all chemical weapons. But the United Nations said it would take at least another 30 days.

You may experience discomfort while watching 3D content. You may feel symptoms of eye strain, vision fatigue, color or depth distortion, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, or other discomforts. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop watching television and take a break for at least thirty minutes before resuming. If the symptoms are severe or continue even after you have stopped watching television, consult a doctor.
Even if you do not experience any of these symptoms, take regular breaks from watching 3D content.
Take care to monitor children's watching of 3D content. Children (including teenagers) may be more at risk of experiencing discomfort while watching 3D content and less likely to report symptoms. Monitor children's television viewing and watch for signs of discomfort.
Some viewers may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes when viewing 3D images, even if those conditions have not been previously diagnosed. If you or anyone in your family has a history of seizures or strokes, or if you have any other reason to think you or someone under your supervision may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes, consult a doctor before watching 3D content.

- Awesome TV! Review by RJL
I have had this TV for about a week now and I love it! It is all I expected and more. The HD is great, and the 3D is awesome, just like at the theaters. This is the best TV I have ever purchased. You can't go wrong with it!
(Posted on 2/17/13)
- A great TV Review by AlexM
The sharpness of the screen is great. 99% of the 32" class TVs are 720p, so this 1080p jewel is crystal sharp and the 3D performance is excellent.
The only things that I wish this TV had are the ability to view 3D still images from 3D cameras, and 3D videos made with 3D video cameras without having to convert them to a 3D blu-ray first. It would be great if I could plug in a USB flash drive with my 3D images and view them on this TV.(Posted on 2/13/13)
- Wow! I LOVE this TV! Review by Mary
I shopped and researched for over a year, before I bought a new TV. I finally bought the Vizio E3D320VX on Amazon. What an incredible picture and price for a TV that is Full 1080p HD, 200,000:1 contrast ratio, 3D, Internet TV with built in Wi-Fi and unlimited apps, 2 HDMI ports in back and 1 on the side; USB; It was $299 on Black Friday 2012. I was kicking myself in 2011, when I didn't buy a 720p, but now I am SO glad that I waited. This was a smart purchase. I am a disabled, female and this was an easy set up for me to do alone. It even comes with real tools for assembly and (albeit not the best) 2 pair of 3D glasses (nice touch)...but I haven't watched anything in 3D, so for me, it's not an issue. Make sure to purchase HDMI cable that support 3D technology or you won't be able to use that feature with Blu-Ray or any add on device. I have this TV in my bedroom and have owned it just over 2 months. I had to exchange my DVR at the cable company for a HD model in order to get HD...but that was free. The picture is VIVID and crystal clear. I am confined to this room much of the day for medical reasons and the TV is on a good part of the day. My sports nut husband loves the picture settings that adjust for every kind of sport. I didn't need a sound bar, its plenty loud with 2 10Watt speakers. I will admit, that when setting it up, initially, I couldn't figure out how to get to the keypad to enter my WiFi info. I am not one to read instructions and even when I read the instructions, I don't think it was explained. It took me a few minutes and finally I realized that you have to press the OK button to get the Keypad and just use the arrows around it to navigate. There is also a button on the remote with the Vizio symbol, press that for all of your internet apps. I have my log-in for Netflix programmed and using that is a piece of cake. Your choices for apps are unlimited with internet TV. It has great Energy Savings. The only negative that I have found is that it is not instant on...it takes about 5 secs, before a picture is available. For this TV, I can wait 5 seconds. I also purchased a Square Trade 3 year extended warranty for $34, which to me is peace of mind. I am a happy, happy girl!

- The best Bang for ur buck Review by Kenneth
People it's as simple as this. Vizio has made it possible for people to watch an awesome 3d t.v. for only $300 dollars! When 3d first came out I was shocked at the prices and said to myself.. well it's gonna be a long time before I can afford something like this. But now I am shocked and still can't get over the fact I own one, and only paid 300 dollars!! Yes i'm sure other TV's might have a better 3d picture, and more technology, but people YOU WILL NOT be upset when u see this thing in action. Vizio has made it possible for me, and many other to finally have something we didn't have to pay a thousand dollars for. I love what u do Vizio and keep up the good work because this buyer is very happy.

- Perfect 3D PC Monitor - $249 clearence at Walmart ! Review by Richard S.
I bought this 3D 32" Vizio as a monitor for my Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) Gaming Laptop.
The ROG series has the best Nvidia Graphics, including 3D HDMI output for playing games in 3D. Skyrim & other games look Amazing in 3D !
With this model, it has 3 HDMI inputs, so my PlayStation 3 & 3D BlueRay disc player also look great. The BlueRay even auto upscales & converts 2D DVDs to 3D - and the Vizio display is bright, flicker - free & realistic. The built in Smart TV apps are great, I watch Netflix using the smart TV apps, and also Amazon Instant video new movie rentals. The WiFi works good, but to get the best Video streaming, I hooked up an internet cable right into the back of the TV - fully automatic, no setup, the Vizio started playing Netflix & other internet video right through the network cable fast & flawlessly !
THANK YOU VIZIO for making great 3D Smart HDTVs.(Posted on 12/25/12)
- Not Bad, Could Be better Review by SylvanDweller
HD television is impressive. The network capability to play all my audio file (.wma) is inconsistant. It plays only a limited few songs through the unit which is connected to home network by ethernet cable. Tech support suggests there is something wrong with my router/ gateway, but I'm able to play the files on my other devices through the ethernet cable and wirelessly.

- Bang for the buck! Review by Renegade61
All I can say is "AWESOME"......the combination of great quality, apps, picture, features which include 3d, connectivity, flexibility and price makes this the best TV in its price range and qualifies in many consumer's books as the best "Bang for the Buck" ever!

- Great buy....beautiful color worth it!! Review by Jay
I bought this tv a few months ago from Wal-mart. It is still working great I truly love this TV. We have 2 flat screens now...I had a box tv and it sucked. This one was a huge upgrade plus it is 3d. I do recommend this purchase to all who come across it.

- Very good 3D Smart TV Review by DL
Very good TV for the price being a Smart TV + 3D. I am really impressed with the picture quality, the wifi N built-in is solid and reliable. I like most of the VIA Apps, however, I am not a fan of Yahoo and I will not setup a Yahoo account just to access some of their apps. I am a fan of Google and it would be neat to see them partner with Google for Apps in the future like Sony has. Now, if your wondering about the 3D it is impressive but has some drawbacks. It is true that the viewing angle is very narrow with this TV, and you almost have to be sitting dead center to enjoy it, a little annoying. The combination of the size of the TV and passive 3D factor in as well. The neat thing is that the Real D 3D glasses from the theater work on this TV as well. I recommend purchasing a 3D Bluray player from a different manufacturer because it will give you access to more apps to utilize with this TV. My only biggest complaint about this TV is the amount of A/V connections it has. I have an older DVD player and satellite box and they only provide one set of connections. I did not pay attention to this when I purchased the TV as most all HDTVs have several component and composite connections. If you notice on the back of this TV, it has lots of wasted space where Vizio could have added more but didn't. Really disappointing to say the least. Everyone gripes about the remote and it does leave a lot to be desired but making the best of it. Overall, very pleased and happy with it and I think you will be as well.

- TV Great but few minor complaints Review by DXW
TV has beautiful picture, and great options, only complaints are, the dimple in the speaker that looks like a dent, the fact that this model does not include the qwerty remote, or the better set of 3d glasses, only 2 basic ones, and the customer support basically said the manual doesn't state that even though I was looking directly at it. All and all a great buy, would recommend

- Great Purchase Review by sean
This television is an absolutely awesome purchase. I am pleased with quality, reliability, and nearly every other aspect. My only cons would be that the remote, while unique and stylish, is a bit delayed especially when using the keyboard, and the keyboard (or any of the remote) is not backlit. I have had several times when I was trying to type in the dark and had a difficult time finding keys. Still well worth the purchase.

- E3D320VX PERFECT 32 INCH LCD TV! Review by IOWAGOLD
Well a small glitch out of the box… the remote keys were sticking… a call in to the 1-888-849-4623 customer service hot line and they had me fixed up in a few minutes!!
Yes the customer service rep was fast and smart too!! That is a good thing these day's of out source on the call centers…
Back to the TV perfect picture!! And real good over the air reception too!! This unit has a hot receiver in a good way!! Easy menus to navigate… Real easy to setup for the online apps like Netflix and HULU plus. Perfect wireless N stream too!!
The only thing they could improve on is the input connection location on the rear of the TV for wall mounting…. If they were all side insertion on the sockets then it would not need a right angle plugs for the HDMI and rca input plugs. And maybe 2 loops for Zip ties to fasten the cables hidden.
Other than that 5 stars for you VIZIO!!

- Great 3D HDTV/Monitor!!! Review by Speed3driver
I am actually using this model as my primary computer monitor. It shows great resolution from the hdmi out from my video card, and utilizes the the 3D gaming on select games(your video card must be 3D compliant). Its also great since it has the WiFi built in so I can switch over and stream my VUDU movies in Full 1080P HD as well. I have an Active Shutter 3D tv downstairs, but I enjoy the passive 3D as it seems to be easier on my eyes, has no batteries, and zero flicker issues. Overall a great little TV, or Monitor in my case :)Also, Great remote, I love the dual sided layout with the qwerty, very thoughtful on Vizio's part.

- Best TV I've ever owned!!! Review by thang2162
The 3D alone was enough to make this TV good but the internet apps take it to a whole new level. The Internet Apps alone effectively make the cable stb obsolete. There is so much programming built in to the TV itself that you may never touch your providers VOD service or even the stb at all. The best part is that most of it is free. Thank to the TV's built-in connection to Crunchy Roll, any Anime or Asian media lover would be crazy not to consider this TV especially considering the price.

- Best TV I have ever owned! Review by Ted
I got this tv on my 18th birthday and I am more than happy with it! Picture is great and sound quality is sharp. I also got the 32" sound bar with it to amplify it some. Everything about this tv is amazing, the only thing that isn't so good are the reaction times when your bring up the apps and other stuff. . .it gets a little bit laggy at first but eventually clears up. For now on when I get a new tv I know who to buy it from. Vizio!

- Best choice for dual purpose TV / Monitor Review by Vic
Ever since the U.S.A. converted to HDTV, I have saved space in the home office by using my TV for a dual purpose role; that of both my TV, and my computer monitor.
I'm limited to 32 inches because this is the maximum size monitor that will fit under the hutch on my computer desk.
I had been following 3D technology for many years, and was eagerly waiting for a 32 inch size. (ANY 32 inch 3D TV). Then what to my SURPRISE: VIZIO was the FIRST IN THE WORLD to release a 32 inch 3DTV. YAY Vizio!! WalMart suddenly has this 32 inch 3DTV that uses RealD glasses from the theater!! I'd been hoping for this technology in the home, but sure didn't expect it so soon! To say I was excited is this years understatement! I was late to work the day I discovered WalMart had this TV, because I didn't want anyone to take MINE off the shelf!
Picture quality? Well, I've seen reviews that say in 3D the resolution is less than with the active-glasses models, but I SURE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!
I just LOVE IT, and for a price in the $400 range, that's gonna be hard to beat!(Posted on 2/18/12)
- Best TV I ever have! Review by Dell124
I love this 3D TV! The 3D on it is so cool. Best way to watch 3D at home. The only bad part is if a video is 480p or 480i, no widescreen.

- I have two 3D Vizios and they are great Review by ANDRE
I have had this E series TV in 47" and 120 hz for almost one year now. I bought this 32" 60hz yesterday for $400 from Walmart and I love them both. I would put the E series picture quality against any other high end competitor. The wireless Apps are and work great.
With the LED technology being newer and the LCD being a little more tried and true, I decided to go with a LCD instead of LED. Also, the fact that WalMart had it miss marked to $650 for the 47" didnt hurt. Although most 3D TVS are LED, this LCD 3D is amazing and there are preprogrammed monitor settings that can intensify the lighting to emulate the LED if you desire.
I had previously read that you couldnt use PS3 3D with these Vizios, I hadnt tried because I have a xbox360. After reading these other reviews it seems like you can so thats something even better and I will be trying with friends PS3 immediately.(Posted on 1/31/12)
- Awesome! Review by Gadget
We went shopping for an HDTV for our living room. We decided on this 32" because we didn't need a huge TV. We originally went with the TV because of the wifi capability but to be honest, we really haven't used it much at all.
What really makes this TV is the screen quality. We don't really use a DVD player or blueray anymore. We have ripped everything from our DVDs to a hard drive that plugs into a WD converter that goes via 1080p to our TV via HDMI. The picture quality is absolutely brilliant. When we were at Wal-Mart looking at the TVs to begin with, you could really see that the 200,000:1 ratio made the picture that much more clear compared with all the other TVs.
The other thing is the 3D. I thought it was kinda gimmicky. Was I wrong. Popped the 3D movie into the blueray player and it was just like being in a theater. No annoying red and blue. It was as good as the 3D movies you'll see in Disney World.(Posted on 1/14/12)

- AWESOME, GREAT, IMPRESSIVE Review by Doggboy54
I had just purchased one of these TV sets and I must say, the TV is the best anybody can buy in my eyes. I have owned 2 previous TVs from Vizio, and this one is by far the best of both. I will definitely be buying another in the coming years, but KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK VIZIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- AWESOME Review by Rob D
I just picked this TV up a few days ago off craigslist (brand new) and couldn't be happier. I have a 47" LG in my living room and picked this up for my bedroom. The picture is better then my 1080P LG, The Internet Apps & 3D is just mind blowing. Play PS3 in 3D make's it the best TV for the price.

- A Superior LCD TV Review by JP
I could also just use the word "excellent" to describe this model, but I'll add a bit more.
The picture quality is top notch. Far superior to all of the other 32" LCDs that were around it at the store. It's simply gorgeous to behold in the living room with 720p or 1080p video. Super sharp with great color and contrast. The wifi internet works flawlessly with CableOne's Arris modem, and their standard 5.0mbps internet connection. This wifi internet apps feature is the primary reason for purchasing. The 3D thing is a bonus feature I have yet to check out, so I can't comment on that.
The only issue I've come across, though I consider it very minor, is the numbered buttons on the remote have to be pushed pretty hard, but all the other buttons on both sides are good. The qwerty keyboard works very well on mine. I imagine over time those currently hard to push number buttons will "break in" with more use, so it's not a real concern.
Overall, it will have been an outstanding buy if it stands up to the average decade of use that most TVs get.(Posted on 10/25/11)

- Outstanding Color reproduction Review by LunarLtd
Well, let's just say, I'm using this for my central computer monitor. It is absolutely fantastic for photo editing and video editing and viewing content. The 3D is great. I have nothing but good things to say about this. (using it for a computer monitor, of course; if it were a TV I'd need something bigger)

- Mostly Happy Review by Jimmy
Upgraded to LCD so decided to go for the 3D option and internet apps.
TV picture quality is great. Sound is OK. I've stried the 3D option with streaming IMAX movies and IMAX 3D movies using my old DVD player but have not gotten 3D to work. Guess I'll have to buy a 3D Blue Ray to experience that. Internet apps work well. Did have to upgrade my wireless router to accomodate the added traffic though.
I have the tv on a TV stand. The Vizio tends too wobble too much for my comfort so I do have to be extremely careful not to bump in and dump it on the floor. A wall mount would be preferable, but not an option in it's current locale.
The remote control could use some work. The front (with volume, channel, apps, etc) controls works well. I have given up on using the keyboard on the backside of the remove. Most of the buttons are temperamental - you have to push them very hard and multiple times. It is easier to use the on-screen keypad and cursor from letter to letter to do my searches and a-n entries. The remove is supposed to control other items (i.e. dvd player), but I have not gotten this to work yet. Maybe it is more complicated than I've been able to figure out.
I enjoy the TV, just wish I could take full advantage of the 3D option without having to buy a 3D blue-ray player (starting to wish I had spent the money on an LED instead of 3D).
Overall a good buy so far. Just need to see how durable it is over time.
Don't feed comfortable yet giving it a "buy" or "don't buy" rating at this time.(Posted on 9/18/11)

- OUTSTANDING QUALITY Review by RLW099
I was apprehensive at first not knowing much about VIZIO and the price point blew me away, I thought this can't be as good as Sony. I decided to try this HD TV and I must say it has a better picture quality, sound, setup, menu and web surfing than my Sony or Toshiba at half the price of them and has 3D to boot. I am so very impressed with this TV that I have ordered the 3D Blu Ray player and 32" sound bar. Great job VIZIO for making a real quality product at a VERY reasonable price.

Recently purchased, works great
Overall: 10/10
Color: 10/10
The Colors are rich, the blacks are natural and true. Everything looks as natural as it should.
Screen Refresh Rate: 10/10
The screen refreshes fast enough that motion blur never becomes and issue, creating a crisp, sharp image.
Picture Quality: 10/10
The picture is sharp, with smooth clean edges. No tearing, no sync issues, only the lines meant to be seen.
The 3D is stunning. No headaches, no blurry vision. Everything looks exactly as it should, with no issues.
Computer Connectivity: 8/10
When hooked up to a computer, there is about a 500ms lag at default settings. With some tweaks and adjustments the lag is reduced to about 75ms, with is barely noticeable. Overall, still a good product(Posted on 7/8/11)
- E3D320VX as a 3d monitor Review by Drake
I needed to replace my existing 3d monitor and the choices were slim. I wanted passive screen, and ghosting was my #1 concern. I tried the E3D320VX on a whim, not hearing any other reviews. It works great! Works with IZ3D drivers through VGA port (amazing!) very very little ghosting, no need to change settings on the TV itself for 3d (nice feature). It also works with NVidia Play3d through the hdmi cable. If you have dual video output, you can connect both and not have to change your connections to work with both (VERY nice for compatibility!). So now I have the most compatible 3d monitor on the market!
NOTE: Only downside is that every time I change resolutions, or come off screen saver, I lose the VGA settings and have to auto adjust. Annoying and hopefully its fixed in an firmware update soon!(Posted on 6/21/11)
- Best TV I have ever bought! Review by Esche93
This is by far the best TV I have ever bought! 1080p, 3D! on a 32" Screen.....By far the clearest picture I have ever seen. Period. Great for gaming and watching Blu Ray's. A must buy.
Will be buying from Vizio in the future again!(Posted on 6/21/11)
- excellent product, price, manual 3d, and support Review by pdp8pete
I purchased this set at walmart for an excellent price. About 21 days latter it went on sale for $20 less. Customer service and electronics department manager wouldn't refund the difference but after talking to the store manager she had no problem giving me a refund making an excellent price even better. I love the set and have no real complaints. When I was seeing ghosting in 3d images I thought there was a problem with the set and contacted their support site and they set up an appointment for an in house service call. I later found the problem to be the set was to low for the proper vewing angle. After raising the height of the set the 3d was excelklent and I contacted support to cancell the service call. I can't say enough about their customes service. The hold time was short, they were cocerned about my problem and extermely knowlegable.
The user guide was well written and printed on glossy magazine type paper. In summary I was completely satisfied with Vizio and this 32 inch 3d tv and would recommend this set to others.(Posted on 6/12/11)
- Nice TV Review by The Mighty T
I bought 3 of these for our bedrooms. It's good to have the wifi so my kids can watch movies through Netflix. The picture is sharp on all three. They were very easy to set up. The remote is easy to use, although I do find myself taking a couple of jabs at the buttons from time to time. I don't know if it's their size compared to my fingers or if they need to be pressed harder than I am used to. The sound is okay for our bedrooms. If this were in my living room I'd augment it with some extra audio equipment. I haven't yet utilized their 3D capabilities. I don't own any 3D movies, and haven't checked to see if I can download 3D content.
Overall though, considering that they are only a couple of bucks more than a similar sized hi def TV from other manufacturers, yet they are loaded with extra features (and they all seem to be working). I can say that I've gotten my moneys worth.(Posted on 5/25/11)
- Excellent Review by Kenny
After reading up on 3D TVs and HDTV specs I figured this would be the last one I wanted. I feel lucky I didn't pass up trying it.. I've been able to get everything going with online content whereas I've read others have had trouble with different tech. You can pause these bright and clear 3D frames. Well done.. Thanks Vizio!

- Not disappointed Review by Cybor
I check the Vizio site every once in a while to see what new items are out or coming. I happened to see the 32" 3D TV and was interested. After getting it, I was able to hook up my computer and PS3 on it without issue. The 3D works but I'm a little unuse to the idea of sitting back 6 feet from a 32" TV. The games and movies look good though. I have watched Tron and played Tron and Call of Duty Black Ops with 3D on and it's pretty cool. It was nice to also see that the 3D glasses from the theater work with the TV as well. I have other Vizio TV's that are 120Hz but the 32" is 60. The fast games seem to take a hit for this but still isn't too bad. Nice price.

Good thing I didn't listen and I made my own mind and bought this TV. It is incredible! The image is sharp, the 3D is great. I bought Saw 3D and it looks sweet, as well as black ops and Crysis 2.

I love the original. But I've always thought, while not as good, that 'Predator 2′ is a decent follow up; a worthy sequel. Much better than the piss poor AVP spin offs anyway! Well, what do you lot think?
I always liked the sequel. It was a follow up that had a completely different feel to it which was cool.
Speaking of which I was in Santa Monica a coupla days ago and whilst walking along the beach some guy stuck his head out from one of the beach front apartments…it was Gary Busey. :he: -
:he::he: Nice!!
I've always liked the sequel. It's lacking in the Arnie department, but it's got great sequences. I love the
meat locker scene. -
Hell yes ! Predator 2 is a more than worthy sequel in my opinion. It had an overall different feel to the first but I thought it was great that they had the Predator going after gangs. The opening battle is a standout, as are all the other set pieces, especially the meat freezer and subsequent chase across the cityscapes. Bring on the 3rd movie !
It's a worthy follow-up, not as good as the first movie though. What I like are the new predator weapons. Some of the action scenes are a bit cheesy (the first shootout for example) and the setting; LA 1997 (lol).
its a decent sequel not great,but memorable.
yea it was good !from a real jungle to the concrete jungle !cant wait for the avp game coming out in 2010!!:chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw::chainsaw:
Predator 2 while not in the same league as T2 or Aliens etc.. Is still a good film. To cut to the chase, here's a list of positives and negatives.

What's Included
1 Swaddling Blanket
Research shows a swaddled baby sleeps twice as long as babies who aren't swaddled. The Snug & Tug swaddle blanket ensures baby doesn't wiggle out thanks to its triple defense system:
- 1. A full-body pouch means baby can kick and kick but can't slip out.
2. A small opening wraps both sides of the blanket around your baby to recreate the womb-like environment he or she craves.
3. Velcro straps offer adjustability and ensure baby stays swaddled.
The triangular design of the Snug & Tug is the ideal shape for swaddling. You don't need a lot of space to use it anywhere, anytime. Made of 100% cotton, the Snug & Tug is breathable, stretchable, and super soft. Good swaddling blankets are made of cotton – not fleece, terry cloth, or trimmed with satin. And there are no worries about the Velcro tabs snagging other items in your laundry. The designers have thought of everything and the Snug & Tug includes a safety spot to fold the Velcro tabs during laundry.

How do I convey that Im flirting but dont want to hook up?
Our guy guru answers your most pressing sex and love questions.
Special Offer
Im a touchy-feely flirt Ill rest my hand on a guys arm or touch him in some innocent way. But dudes take it as a green light to drunkenly be all over me. How do I convey that I am flirting but dont want to hook up?
Youre wondering why drunk guys accost you when you flirtatiously touch them?
Um, what part of drunk dont you understand? Im not saying being bombed gives men a license to act inappropriately, but as soon as you start touching a guy especially one whos drinking it sends a message that youre interested in him physically.
So forgo your innocent touchy-feely ways unless youre interested in moving things in that direction. Or if you insist on pawing men for kicks, lay off the ones who are hammered.

Plasma cells help your body fight infection by producing proteins called antibodies. In multiple myeloma, plasma cells grow out of control in the bone marrow and form tumors in the areas of solid bone.
The growth of these bone tumors makes it harder for the bone marrow to make healthy blood cells and platelets.
Multiple myeloma mainly affects older adults. Past treatment with radiation therapy raises your risk for this type of cancer.
Multiple myeloma causes a low red blood cell count (anemia). This makes you more likely to get infections and have abnormal bleeding.
As the cancer cells grow in the bone marrow, bone or back pain, most often in the ribs or back.
If the bones in the spine are affected, it can put pressure on the nerves, resulting in numbness or weakness of the arms or legs.

This list is not all-inclusive.
Bone x-rays may show fractures or hollowed out areas of bone. If your doctor suspects this type of cancer, a bone marrow biopsy will be performed.
Bone density testing may show bone loss.
People who have mild disease or where the diagnosis is not certain are often closely watched without treatment. Some people have a slow-developing form of multiple myeloma that takes years to cause symptoms.
Medications for the treatment of multiple myeloma include:
Radiation therapy may be done to relieve bone pain or treat a bone tumor.
Two types of bone marrow transplantation may be tried:
People with multiple myeloma should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and help maintain proper kidney function. They should also be cautious when having x-ray tests that use contrast dye.
The stress of illness may be eased by joining a support group whose members share common experiences and problems. See: Cancer - support group
Survival of people with multiple myeloma depends on the patient's age and the stage of disease. Some cases are very aggressive, while others take years to get worse.
Chemotherapy and transplants rarely lead to a permanent cure.
Kidney failure is a frequent complication. Others may include:
Call your doctor if you have multiple myeloma and infection develops, or numbness, loss of movement, or loss of sensation develops.
