J.J. Abrams
J.J. Abrams is an award-winning television and feature film producer/writer/director. He's best known for creating shows like Lost and for directing the Star Trek movie reboot.
AppealJ.J. Abrams is no stranger to women. His knack for creating television series with strong female protagonists have made him a ratings winner with the ladies, and has also allowed him to work with leading ladies like Keri Russell and Jennifer Garner. In fact, J.J. Abrams can take much of the credit for jump-starting both of their careers.
Where his personal life is concerned, J.J. Abrams has been married to Katie McGrath since 1996. The story goes that they met at a party and that J.J. Abrams concocted a reason why he was heading home in Katie's direction, and the rest is history. Since then, she's become one of J.J. Abrams' most reliable story editors, since she's a good judge of the female-to-female relationships in his scripts. They now have three children, and J.J. Abrams has been known to balance script-writing, business deals and child care all in a day's work.
SuccessThere's no creative Hollywood hat that J.J. Abrams can't wear. To date, the mega-producer/director/writer is responsible for three well-known TV series (Felicity, Alias, Lost) and another one, Fringe, that has recently been launched. For his efforts, he's won two Emmys, one Golden Globe and earned recognition from Entertainment Weekly as one of the 50 Smartest People in Hollywood. He was also coined by Fade In Magazine as one of the 100 People in Hollywood You Need to Know.
J.J. Abrams has balanced his television work with a career in films. Besides writing scripts for films like Regarding Henry, Forever Young, Armageddon, and Joyride, he's produced the low-budget smash Cloverfield and directed the Tom Cruise actioner Mission: Impossible III. His most ambitious project is a large-scale reinvention of Star Trek, which focuses on the early days of Captain Kirk and company.
J.J. Abrams BiographyJeffrey Jacob (J.J.) Abrams was born on June 27, 1966, in New York, New York. As the son of Gerald Abrams, who produced more than 100 made-for-TV movies, J.J. Abrams had a strong television influence in his family. The Abrams family moved to Los Angeles, where J.J. Abrams became infatuated with the movie business after a tour of Universal Studios at the age of 8. A year afterwards, J.J. Abrams started filming his own movies that starred his friend, future Ally McBeal star Greg Grunberg.
Having been a regular participant and occasional winner in filmmaking contests, J.J. Abrams got a $100-dream job at 14 when he was hired to edit one of Steven Spielberg's student films. A year later, J.J. Abrams got his first professional movie job when he composed the score for the film Nightbeast. J.J. Abrams would later attend Sarah Lawrence College in New York where he wrote nine screenplays, selling one that he cowrote with Jill Mazursky. It would become the 1990 film, Taking Care of Business, starring Jim Belushi.
j.j. abrams writes armageddon and creates felicityIn 1991, J.J. Abrams sold his first solo script, Regarding Henry, which later starred Harrison Ford as a lawyer regaining his memory after being shot. A year later, he earned a $2-million paycheck for selling Forever Young, the story of a pilot who is cryogenically frozen. Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis starred in the resulting film. Based on the success of these two films, J.J. Abrams started his own production company, Bad Robot.
1998 was a breakout year for J.J. Abrams. He cowrote the Bruce Willis sci-fi hit Armageddon, which was one of that summer's biggest successes. As a result, he now had the clout to create something entirely on his own, and he opted to do it via television. Later that year, J.J. Abrams and his friend Matt Reeves served as co-creators of Felicity, the Keri Russell-led drama about a New York City college girl. The show aired on the WB for four seasons.
j.j. abrams creates alias and lostThe next television project for J.J. Abrams came in 2001 when he created Alias for ABC. The series followed the journey of a CIA double-agent and launched the career of Jennifer Garner. As the main man behind the series, J.J. Abrams got to assume various producing, writing and directing chores on the series, and his stock in Hollywood only continued to rise. Just three years later, J.J. Abrams struck again with Lost, another ABC project about plane-crash survivors living on a mysterious island. Since the show's launch, it has won two Emmys and one Golden Globe. The FOX network also hired J.J. Abrams, and he subsequently created the sci-fi series, Fringe.
In 2006, J.J. Abrams made his first foray into feature-film directing with the high-profile sequel Mission: Impossible III. The film grossed nearly $400 million worldwide and showed that he could acquit himself nicely in the film world. In 2007, J.J. Abrams returned to feature films, this time as the producer of the box-office smash Cloverfield, and he was later signed to direct the much-publicized relaunch of the Star Trek film series, slated for a 2009 release.

A good web hosting deal is one that doesn't break the bank, but gives you the features you need. What will you need to look for in a web host? How do you know if you're getting a fantastic deal? Read this article and you will find that out.
One thing you need to look for with a web host is the storage space that
they offer you. This is going to be the amount of space that you're able
to store your files on when you're using their servers. This means that if you have a lot of large files that go along with your website, you need to have a lot of space. Always prepare for the future and get more space than you need. This will help you to be sure that you won't run out of space when you're trying to add on to your site later.
How much bandwidth are you going to need? This is the amount of data that can be downloaded from or uploaded to your website. Just like with space, if you have a lot of files on your website, you'll probably want to have more bandwidth. This is especially true if a lot of people will be downloading files from your website. Make sure to get more than enough so your site doesn't get taken offline for going over the bandwidth it was allocated.
Always get a web hosting company that has great customer support. There should be a way to get a hold of someone within a few minutes after you notice a problem with your website. If you cannot get help that quickly, at least try for getting it within 24 hours. The Internet never sleeps, so you have to be sure that there is someone there to help you out when you need it.
Never go for the first web hosting plan that you find. Even if it is the best deal in the end, that doesn't mean that it wasn't a good idea to shop around. There could be a deal that you never would have known about. There are so many web hosting companies out there with different prices, you never know when you'll stumble upon a company that has a deal that just works better for you.
Are there any coupons or promotion codes available to help you save money on getting hosting? A lot of the time, there will be a deal that you can get if you sign up with a host for a period of time. Usually it's a lot cheaper to get a yearly subscription, but sometimes you can save even more money just by searching for coupons online. You may find that there are better deals around holidays as well, so be on the lookout for that.
By using the above tips, you can set a budget and stick with it when you're getting web hosting. Getting all you need from a web host shouldn't cost you a lot of time and money if you put the advice you just read into practice.

The petition filed by Jagan�s lawyers is likely to come up for hearing on Saturday or Monday.
It may be recalled that CBI had filed the fifth charge-sheet against Jagan four days ago. The agency named Sabita Indra Reddy as the fourth accused in the case.
Jagan was arrested on May 27. Though he tried for bail at several levels, he did not succeed. Last year when his bail plea came up before the Supreme Court, the supreme court while directing the CBI to complete its investigation by March 2013, told Jagan he could apply for bail then.
In this context, Jagan filed the fresh petition, on the plea that the CBI had not completed the investigation as directed. However, CBI is maintaining that no deadline was set for it to complete the investigation.

DK, I'd pay to see that. Just to hear the exploding heads of wrestling fans everywhere.
How about Ziggler wins the Royal Rumble after drawing first and shattering all records. He cashes in his case the same night. Then the next night on Raw, he faces Kofi Kingston and Cesaro in a triple threat title match where both belts are on the line, and wins. Then on Smackdown, he faces Team Hell No in a handicapped match and beats them for the tag team titles. Come Wrestlemania, he can defend all the belts in separate matches, wins them all. Then challenged the Undertaker for his streak, wins the match and ends that, then challenge McMahon and HHH to a handicapped match with ownership of WWE on the line, and he wins that, making Dolph King of Everything.
DSS ... "he can appear on both shows?" Seriously the brand split is a joke nowadays, anybody can appear on any show.
How about Dolph wins the Rumble and thus has a chance to win both titles. He cashes in at Elimination chamber for WHC and then champion v champion at Wrestlemania (punk or rock). Gives WWE the opportunity to unify the belts and if Ziggler wins he can appear on both shows.
Also, let us have Ziggler for WWE championship in on of the PPVs after WM...The same night he'll cash the MITB and become WHC...(ziggler can use his MITB brief case till next year's MITB ppv right??)..then same night he can go on and win WWE championship...
he can claim he's the man who won both WWE n WHC on teh same night defeating both X n Y wrestlers on the same night...
Cut to two months he can have a feud with Y2J..
When I heard about the AJ/Cena angle kicking off a few weeks ago, I laughed. The most questionable part is, why would Cena deny it. AJ's hot as shit. I'd hit that 6 times a day if I was Cena.
I stopped watching each show every week, I catch one here or there now. No need to watch every week with all the recaps. I catch up anyway. If I watch every week I get extremely bored, just watching the same clips over and over again. Great blog, keep'em coming.

The location close to our locally owned Foods for Living and East Lansing Food Co-op has me concerned that either or both could be in for a tailspin. ELFCO has been bringing in freshly grown local produce, breads and other food items through relationships built up over time, where farmer/producer and ELFCO have a supporting relationship. Will those be undercut by the global food chain that caters to Whole Foods?
While Whole Foods has received high marks for some forms of its enterprise, like all large corporate entities, decisions are made at corporate headquarters far away from the localities where they operate. The "bigger/more is better" mindset in our culture has resulted in the globalization and concentration of power into fewer unrestrained corporate powers — you can see this occurring in the airlines, home improvement retail and grocery industries, to name a few. With that increased power comes the ability to reshape the rules to their advantage; to bully local, state and national governments; and, perhaps most concerning, to increase the general population's sense of disempowerment and complacency. If the score of the game is competitive advantage, who watches out for human and ecosystem health, justice, democracy, violence, or for development that is equitable, fair and just? This is not in the ethos or business plan of the behemoths that the majority of our pension plans support. Although, the reader should note that Whole Foods founder John Mackey has stated he believes that business has to have a higher purpose than just making money.
Locally owned businesses for the most part don't have that kind of power and aren't trying to achieve it. Instead, these businesses want to offer a product or service that is needed or wanted and to make a decent livelihood from it. It can be successful only when that product or service is determined to be of value to consumers in the community it serves. More and more citizens are becoming aware of the hidden costs and looking for other values beyond price when they make a purchase. Is it made in a sweatshop? Is it organic or GMO free? Is it energy efficient? Is the company lobbying for things we don't support? Is it from a local source or from the other side of the planet? Making that information more transparent and available benefits everyone and allows market decisions to be made based on more than a simple price value.
I have just finished reading Keith R. Brown's "Buying into Fair Trade: Culture, Morality, and Consumption." I am inspired by his assertion that conscientious consumption is really deepened by the sharing of stories — when the link between the producer-product-consumer is made more transparent. Unwittingly, I suppose, this concept has undergirded this column I have shared over the past 24 months. His series of questions and selected stories of what more conscientious consumption might look like continues to call my attention. While hopefully I have shared a few new and useful insights and examples in this column, I am sure I have catalogued neither the breadth nor the depth of possibilities worthy of our consideration. I think I could do a better job of this with the help of readers and citizens in our community. So here's an invitation: Please send me examples of actual enterprises using different approaches. I'd also like to hear questions that nag you about your own consumption choices. And I'd love to hear possibilities you'd like to see made real in our community, e.g. my desire to see businesses proud to note their minimum employee salary/compensation package or maximum/minimum wage ratio. Our locally owned business owners want your business. Let's help them see what's important to you besides price.

Website Design
UI/Interaction Design
Logos and Iconography
I am a skilled and accomplished visual designer who concepts, designs and delivers useful, engaging and effective end-to-end digital experiences. During my time in the Intel Experiences Group in CCG, I've created visual assets for user interfaces of software applications, internal promotional materials, illustrated storyboards and edited videos. I've designed and developed websites and I'm well versed in Sharepoint 2010.
"In addition to being a talented designer with a sharp eye for detail, Phil is a resourceful problem-solver and has a tremendous work ethic. Regardless of constraints, he strives to provide the best solution possible, often coming up with multiple options to drive to the best recommendation. He has a keen understanding of UI design and user experience considerations, and works seamlessly on our cross-functional team of Engineering and UX. Phil constantly seeks out new opportunities to learn, whether it be prototyping software, getting his hands dirty in web code, figuring out more effective ways to work with developers, or how to address challenges on our team – he does not shy away from any challenge."
Laura Thelen UX Lead at Intel
SKills used: UI Design, Website Design, Print
In the effort to increase PC refresh, the Client Computing Group partnered with Actiontec to encourage users to connect their laptops with larger screens, called WiDi. After the interaction designer created the flows and wireframes, I designed the graphics for the interface of WiDi and Pro WiDi, which helped users easily accomplish connectivity tasks.
I designed print materials for our internal deployment trials, along with a WiDi Deployment website that detects the user's operating system and gives them usage instructions.
SKills used: UI Design, Print
When a user puts their laptop within range of a wireless dock, it connects automatically, eliminating the hassle of plugging and unplugging cords. I participated in the initial planning of this project, along with the UX lead and industrial desiner. The purpose of which was to drive PC refresh.
I designed the icons and regulatory labels on the exterior of the industrial design, desktop and tray icons, on screen display and the interface for the software application.
SKills used: UI Design, Print
The purpose for the Immersive Gaming project was to study how users interact with Intel's Realsense camera in order to improve it and integrate it in more tablets and PC's to drive refresh.
I created the illustrations for these storyboards to visually explain the usages of RealSense and influence other companies to work with Intel to further RealSense technology.
SKills used: Web design, Development in HTML, CSS
It's important for Intel employees to actually use the tech we create, so when wireless charging stations were integrated into the tables of our cafe's, the users needed a place they could go to learn more and ask questions.
Here's an Engadget article that speaks to Intel's wireless charging efforts.
Since I was an admin for Intel's servers, I was able to create a new domain for this site, and after the content was created and interaction flow was established, I layed it out, mocked it up and coded it within a couple weeks. I also implemented Google analytics to track usage.
SKills used: Iconography, Illustration
Designing a logo for companies or internal Intel groups is a fun and exciting challenge for me. I love visually explaining what a group or business is all about using symbols and shapes in a creative way. The solid colors and easy to read shapes of a logo directly relate to creating icons. The ones I've made for Intel always need to be clean, flat and straight forward.
I learned a lot from master logo creator Jeff Pollard, who created the Tiger Woods logo, and I continually accept freelance logo projects to keep my skills sharp.

Sprinkler? Brian... that looked more like a power washer! If that had been my Yorkie, he'd be in Angier by now!
What a nightmarish existence.

But last June, in what some considered to be part of a growing government crackdown on independent critics, Ibrahim was suddenly arrested and detained without charge for 42 days. Although eventually released on bail, the authorities accused him of illegally receiving and misusing foreign funds, planning to bribe government officials and tarnishing Egypt's image abroad. Many of his supporters believe Ibrahim was charged for crossing unspoken "red lines" in his democracy advocacy. In a surprise early ruling, Cairo's Supreme State Security Court on Monday convicted the 62-year-old sociologist and sentenced him to seven years in prison. As the six-month-old trial of Ibrahim and 27 co-defendants came to a close, he spoke to TIME about the ordeal and the prospects for greater freedom in Egypt.
TIME: What accounts for the timing of the case?
Ibrahim: There are three guesses. To derail the Ibn Khaldun center from monitoring the Fall 2000 parliamentary elections. On the basis of our 1995 election monitoring report, many failed candidates went to court and won their case. They were determined to prevent this being repeated in the 2000 elections. Others have said that Ibn Khaldun has been outspoken on issues of politics in general and on the issue of the Copts (Egypt's Christian minority) in particular. Some attributed the case to other issues, like (political) succession in the Arab World.
TIME: Yet, in addition to your advocacy work, haven't you served as an advisor to President Mubarak?
Ibrahim: I was occasionally asked to submit policy papers, even when Mubarak was vice-president. I was asked by some of his aides to write speeches. I contributed on the topics of development, peace, civil society and youth. I did meet with him several times, when he was a vice-president and then as president. Some meetings were one-on-one, some as part of a group. He was always cordial, always warm, and I have a lot of regard for him. He has done a lot of good things for Egypt. He cooled down the political scene when he first came to power. It was overheated because of the controversial policies of President Sadat. He managed to re-build the infrastructure of Egypt. He has managed to reform the economy. He has managed to restore Egypt's relations with the Arab world. For the first time in 50 years, we are on good terms with everybody.
TIME: What effect has the case had on your work?
Ibrahim: The Ibn Khaldun center is closed, researchers are jobless, and the publications I used to issue have stopped. We had been working on projects on education, women, rehabilitation of Egyptian Islamic militants, governance in the Arab world, family planning and political parties. There was also a threat on my life, which I thought initially was from the Islamists. There were graphic telephone threats three or four times a day. This continued up to the day of my arrest, to the point that we had to have guards. These are American University guards supplied by the president of the University when they learned what was happening.
TIME: Has the American University supported you?
Ibrahim: The University showed solidarity with me and my family. They have given me access to all their resources in this case. During the first week of classes last Fall, the university administration asked me to give a public lecture to tell my students and the faculty how I spent my summer. The overflowing crowds were passionate and supportive. What is disturbing is what this case means to many young people, who believed in what I am doing and in whom I had installed a hope for the human rights movement.
TIME: Many believe your case was brought because you crossed "red lines." Do you agree?
Ibrahim: The opposition parties may say some of the same things. But they are suspected of having a partisan agenda. With me, it is the credibility with which I advance a case as a social scientist. I always document what I do. That is the assessment of my lawyers, and that is part of my defense. They believe that I was singled out for my persistence. But because there is no transparency, I do not know exactly what went on in their minds when they ordered my arrest, detention and trial.
TIME: Are there "red lines"? Did you cross them?
Ibrahim: My wife accuses me of being color blind. I don't see red. My only limitation is my conscience and my integrity as a social scientist. These are the only "red lines," if any. I am repeatedly told now by lawyers and friends that I did cross the "red lines."
TIME: What is the point of crossing the "red lines" if it results in your work being destroyed?
Ibrahim: You cannot negotiate with reality. You keep trying. You run against brick walls. That is being an activist. You keep trying until you are stopped or drop dead. You have to use your judgment. Of course, I do not want to be in prison, nor do I want my center to be closed. However, there is only a thin line, and you can only determine whether you have crossed the "red line" or not by dialogue with the officials. The president asked (me) for memos on political reform only six or seven months before I was charged and put in prison. Was I supposed to conclude that I was doing something upsetting?
TIME: Is the case a serious blow to the development of a civil society in Egypt?
Ibrahim: It is not going to be the death of the Egyptian civil society. It is an ongoing battle. There are wings in the establishment. There are the believers in total power. There is another wing that is progressive, in touch with what's happening in the world. Therefore, there is also conflict within the state, within the government, within the establishment. So it is not simply "the state versus civil society." It is really a more complex interaction. We have friends in the state, we have foes. Unfortunately, at this time it is people who are against civil society who are gaining the upper hand. This is a serious case. It is ominous. But it is not fatal. It will set back civil society, but it will not destroy civil society. Democracy is sweeping the world. History is on our side.

Among the 200 best-paid chief executives in the country, just 11 are women, according to a data analysis conducted for the New York Times. That figure means women make up just 5.5 percent of the highest paid CEOs. And to make matters worse, they appear to earn less.
Overall, women make up just 48 of the chief executives at the country's 1,000 largest companies, or 4.8 percent. They are less than 15 percent of executive officers at Fortune 500 companies, a figure that hasn't budged in four years. Median pay for the 11 female CEOs on the list is $1.6 million less than median pay for the men or even for the entire group.
The data comes from executive compensation firm Equilar, which looked at companies with market values of $1 billion or more. As the New York Times's Claire Cain Miller notes, "There are too few women in the Equilar study to make anything of that difference in pay or to come to any definitive conclusions about gender and pay at the C.E.O. level."
But the finding follows a pattern. Last year a Bloomberg News analysis of the highest paid executives at S&P; 500 companies found that the women on the list made 18 percent less than male counterparts. And it wasn't just their small numbers, ether: 8 percent of the top five compensated executives were women, but they also made less compared to others in their industries. Campell Soup CEO Denise Morrison, for example, made 24 percent less than the average for CEOs in the food industry. Pharmaceutical company Mylan CEO Heather Bresch made 33 percent less than the average in her sector. Another study from the Institute for Women's Policy Research found that female CEOs made less than 80 percent of what male ones earned in 2013.
There are even gaps within companies. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer was the second best paid woman in the New York Times's analysis, earning $24.9 million, much of it in stock and options. But while she earned $62 million in 2012 and 2013, that was still less than the $96 million the company paid to a man who worked under her, Chief Operating Officer Henrique de Castro, who was fired in January. The former highest-ranking female executive at Anheuser-Busch sued the company for underpaying her millions because of her gender — she made $1 million as vice president of communications and consumer affairs, while the previous man made $4.5 million when he left — but she lost the case.
Meanwhile, the new female CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra, doesn't make the Times's list this year because her pay won't be high enough. While her long-term compensation is $10 million, which the company says puts her total package 60 percent higher than the man who preceded her in that role, this year she will make half of what he made and less than he will be paid to be a senior advisor after vacating the position.
Female executives have to deal with other barriers beyond pay gaps. They are more likely to be promoted into support positions such as communications or human resources instead of those with more influence. (For example, none of Amazon's female executives reports directly to the CEO.) And if they do make it all the way to the top role, they are more likely to be fired.

The Hague, Netherlands -
The UN Yugoslav tribunal has refused to throw out any charges against former Bosnian Serb military chief General Ratko Mladic at the midway stage of his war crimes trial.
Mladic had asked the judges to toss out some of the 11 charges against him, which include genocide, for an alleged lack of evidence at the end of the prosecution's case.
But Presiding Judge Alphons Orie said on Tuesday the evidence presented by prosecutors was strong enough to allow the 72-year-old former soldier's trial to continue on all charges.
Orie says the three-judge panel considers "that the accused has a case to answer on all counts."
Mladic's defence is scheduled to begin May 13. - Sapa-AP

text: This is my first post. and I already have a question I just brought an used vivitar series 1 70-210mm zoom for my Pentax camera. It a lovely heavy all metal lens with an old fashion push and pull design. My problem with it is that the zoom doesn't seem to want to stay in one place. It'll slide up and down depending on how I'm pointing it. Is this a problem inherent to the push and pull design?

Between mothering her two sons (nightly dance parties are the norm in their house!) and taking the stage every night, Phillips is hard-pressed to find some time for herself. The actress is a firm believer that taking care of yourself is a way of taking care of others, so she planned a fun, rejuvenating wine tour with a friend. The duo rode bikes around Napa Valley from vineyard to vineyard, sampling wines and dining on indulgent meals.
"We were biking everywhere, so it was great because we didn't need to worry about what we were eating or drinking–we could indulge a bit," says Phillips. "Plus, after the trip, my legs were super strong!"
We love the idea of combining a fitness outing with some indulgent girl time. Looking to plan a trip of your own? Check out the Napa Valley Welcome Center site, which boasts many resources to help plan the perfect vineyard venture. On location, Napa Valley Ambassadors are available to offer tips and guidance whether you're touring for the day or spending the week.
"When you arrive, a great first stop is the Napa Valley Welcome Center in Downtown Napa," says Allison Simpson, vice president of marketing and communications at the Napa Valley Destination Council. "Here, guests can make winery reservations, build an itinerary, book hotel stays and talk with volunteer Ambassadors who provide personalized travel assistance, whether women are looking for anything from area bicycle rentals to the best hiking trails."
Vino fans can also download the "Visit Napa" mobile app, which provides users with detailed maps of the Valley, as well as a winery directory to help plan the perfect itinerary. Can't make it to the Valley? Round up some friends and plan a wine and theater night to sneak in some girl time!

On the Mark: Low-spin wedge shot
May 21, 2013
By Mark Immelman, PGATOUR.COM
- Sang-Moon executed a low-trajectory, high-spin shot en route to victory. (Pennington/Getty Images)
Lord Byron's event at TPC Four Seasons always attracts a stellar field as the PGA TOUR's finest travel to the Lone Star State to pay homage to one of golf's greatest champions and finest men.
The course layout is demanding from tee to green and play is normally defined by the warm and gusty North Texas winds. Hence it is those players who can flight the ball and control their shot trajectory (and make putts) who normally prevail around the firm and fast course conditions. This year, however, a band of severe Wednesday night thunderstorms changed the personality of the course and the first round became a birdie-fest with Keegan Bradley leading the assault on par with a 10-under 60.
The winds kicked up over the next three rounds and scoring became tougher. In the end it boiled down to a battle between the two members of the final Sunday pairing, Sang-Moon Bae and Bradley.
Both combatants were tied at 12 under as they headed up the par-5 16th. After getting their second shots into position, Bae faced an uphill pitch from about 40 yards and Bradley faced a pitch of about 50 feet from right of the green. Bae drove a low-spinning wedge into the green which gripped and spun back to about 5 feet from the cup. Not to be outdone, the gusty Bradley clipped a low and aggressive spinning wedge shot to just inside of his playing partner. Both shots were absolutely gorgeous and certainly worth learning how to play.
How to play the low, spinning wedge shot:
This shot starts at address. Move the ball back to around the middle of the stance and favor your lead foot (left for right-handers) as you set the bulk of your weight there. Lean the shaft slightly to the left (for righties) as you set your hands a little ahead of the clubface and the ball.
As you make your backswing, hinge your wrists up to steepen the shaft plane which will assist you to make a crisp, descending strike. It is recommendable to make a slightly shorter backswing as this will give you the freedom to accelerate through impact without the fear of the shot going too far.
Begin your downswing by rotating your lower body back to the left and swing your arms down through impact with the lead arm closer to the body and the left hand leading the clubface through impact. That lead hand should retain control of the action throughout the delivery so that the trail hand does not shut down the clubface. Once contact has been made, swing and extend the arms past the body into a shorter, balanced follow-through. Once again, the lead arm and hand should dominate the delivery and holding the club a little tighter with the last three fingers of the left hand will certainly help.
Get out and practice this shot; it will surely shave strokes off your score.
Good luck

Luxury Holidays French Polynesia
French Polynesia, as its name suggests, offers a fantastic mix of French chic and South Pacific charm. Whether visitors want to enjoy the fantastic sailing conditions in this haven for 'yachties', scuba-dive or gorge on the unique mix of French and Polynesian cuisine, French Polynesia offers it all.
While Tahiti is the most famous island in the group, French Polynesia holidays have so much more to offer visitors. A tailor-made holiday can include the soaring hills of the Asrals and Gambias, the volcanic Society and Maquesas Islands and the coral islands of the Tuamotas. Then there is Rangiroa, the second biggest atoll in the world, which has a lagoon like a vast inland sea, the configuration of which causes powerful currents that make it a mecca for divers.
Nautical activities, namely shark and ray feeding excursions, are also the main attraction of Bora Bora, a former World War II base located just over 257 kilometres to the northwest of the French Polynesian capital, Papeete. Neighbouring Taha'a is famous for its water sports but also for its vanilla production and pearl farming.
It is not hard to see why Captain Cook, W. Somerset Maughan, Robert Louis Stevenson and Paul Gauguin were all fans of the Polynesian Islands.

(copied from http://b-muses.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-tell-if-your-man-is-closet-gay.html)
This is not something new but in the recent years there are a number of people who have been married for a long time and has a family then suddenly decided to come out and live their true lives. It may be new for this generation to hear such a thing but it is more realistic to believe that a number of men and women have been gay and hiding for years. For example, the very married New Jersey governor decided to be honest after being outed about his sexual tryst with a male intern. Obviously, like many others, it's not just that some men and women come out years after making a marital commitment but also the fact that during their marriages they decided to cheat and become involved in risqué behaviors in order to discover their true sexual preference. So, how does this affect the dating prospect for single Christians?
The term "down-low" is usually in reference to Black American men who have homosexual affairs while in a committed heterosexual relationship and then denying that they are gay. In this post, the reference down-low is indicating men and women of all races who are gay and hiding behind a heterosexual life. In a recent article about the late Oral Roberts' grandson, Randy Roberts Potts indicated that he knew he was gay but still decided to marry and subsequently have children. He eventually divorced because he was unhappy with pretending. This seem to be the prevailing stories of everyone who becomes ex-hetero.
One has to be living under a rock to not understand why some gay men and women decide on taking the down-low choice. This is a good way to blend in with 'normal society' and avoid discrimination. This issue is not isolated to the regular world but it has and will always be a part of the Christian community because the 'normal people' make up the church body. Like any other unfaithful behavior, the activities of down-low individuals affect their partners. In the 80's when HIV and the fatal AIDS rant rampant, a number of unsuspecting heterosexual men and women were being infected by their cheating down-low partners who did not use protection and had multiple lovers. This is no different today as people pass on STIs due to infidelity.
One important caveat is that this post is not advocating any beliefs in causation of homosexuality and HIV or AIDS. The fact is that the down-low individuals will do almost anything to keep their secret. Trying to bottle such a huge lie require compromises which an average individual would not have normally undertake. Take for instance, the senator who solicited a man whom he thought was gay (turns out to be a cop) in a bathroom. The down-low individual is more than likely to engage in high risk behaviors: multiple partners rather than one long-term lover which increases the exposure to STI's.
Some of the responses of the jilted spouses includes feeling a great sense of anger and bewilderment. How could they have not known until it was too late? Were they ever loved by their down-low spouses? Were their entire marriage and life a lie? Were their lives just wasted years? No one would feel good about being someone's fall back guy no matter how much of a good explanation was provided. As single Christians, this is another obstacle to consider when dating. Many people are coming out today to live as gay men and women but many are still not comfortable with their orientation. Just like the spouses in the past and some who are living that life right now, it can happen. Some people boost about having a good gaydar but I doubt the average person has such a keen eye.
Due to the unwavering anti-gay sentiments of the church, gay men and women who want to be a part of the Christian community will inevitably hide their sexuality to 'blend in.' This spells disaster for a heterosexual single Christian who could find him/herself with a potentially down-low dating partner. There is no win-win in these situation because both people are not entering into a relationship with the whole truth and nothing but the truth. A relationship based on deception is bound to unravel one way or another usually later than sooner.
Is there a way to prevent yourself from being the heterosexual cover for a closeted gay individual? Maybe developing better gaydar? Befriend a gay individual and use him/her as your gaydar? Being conscientious of feminine mannerism for men? Being aware of your date going overboard to prove his/her interest in having a relationship? Is there really a sure-fire way to tell about a person's homosexual orientation before you are hooked line and sinker? The reality is most people, whether gay or hetero, pretend to be a perfect version of themselves when they just meet someone. It is not until you are hooked and invested before the true nature come forth; however, sometimes, when people are involved they begin to ignore the warnings.
The bottom line is no one is 100% sure about someone else during the mating dance. The only weapon is to use your good judgment when you become suspicious of someone's behaviors instead of burying your head in the closet. It's better to ask questions early rather than wait until years of investment to waking up and facing the harsh reality that you have made a big mistake. In this day and age, it would not be too rude to ask your date if s/he has ever had a strong attraction to the same-sex?

My wife and I are in our 50s and love the 2010 revolutions. We each have one with turbo fins, sails, and larger rudders. It seams like were ever we go people ask us about them and I feel like a sales rep explaining how great they are.I am so in to them I even have a Hobie hat. We made trips to many lakes and the ocean. The turbo fins really help when your fighting the tide up the inlet rivers. If you like to fish you cant beat it. Its so easy to use the mag drive. You can be fishing, taking pictures, drinking water while you pass out people paddling.You do have to be careful with the sails high gusty wind can tip you over so in be careful. But on the positive side there very easy to get back into and you can go for hours and not get tired between the sail, mag drive and even paddle when you want.Once you try one this yaks you will never go back to just paddling. Just one thing I do think the paddles are a little cheap. I broke mine the second year I had it just by paddling. It crack were the arm meets the paddle. I read on line other people having trouble with them. Overall my wife and go almost every weekend in the summer and love them.
I also have an OK T13A. The accommodations for the mirage drive takes up much usable space on the Hobie Revolution. There are no deck lines or bungees on the bow unlike the T13A. I am adding a bow bungee lacing. There is not much room for adding FF/GPS mounts nor rod-holder mounts. While the T13A has a scupper mount for the FF transducer, the Revo does not. Transducer must be over the side or interior shoot-thru-plastic mounting. Due to the shallower hull design of the Revo the live-well is much shallower than the T13A and fish/crabs in the live well can return to the drink more easily. Internal stern access is easier with the Revo stock stern hatch. The T13A needs one owner added. With the 3 stock hatches on the Revo one can access nearly all of the interior of the boat which makes mounting anchor trolley, power systems, and deck mounts easy. I am adding a transverse bar across the front of the cockpit just behind the mast mount for mounting FF/GPS and rod-holders. I'll likely add another bar behind the seat. The new expanding seat hold-downs are great! I demo'd a 2009 Revo and the old static pegs would pop out often. I added the sailing rudder and I am not entirely sure of the value of the Twist-n-Stow rudder. Yes, it lays flat, rather than vertically, but nothing can be loaded over the rudder whether vertical or flat. Seems the Twist-n-Stow system is overly complex and requires more holes in the boat. It seems to be a solution looking for a problem. The mirage drive has many advantages. For me, my elbow may not need to be replaced. I added turbo fins and I can pedal much faster and longer than I can paddle so greater range and more consistent and faster trolling are possible with the Revo. Hands-free locomotion and maneuvering with fish-on is easier. Back trolling and holding in current or tide is easy with the Revo. Gear storage will always be an issue on the Revo. The large Wheelez tires do fit in the front hatch, but the frame will not, and must be lashed to the bow after owner installation of bow bungie and/or deck lines. A milk crate in the live-well is almost a requirement. When I fish I always carry my cart, my fishing gear which includes an anchor line reel system, and often crab gear which includes another line reel system and floats. Getting all that on the Revo is a challenge. Generally, I'll launch and drop the crab traps then return to load up fishing gear. Basically, the OK T13A is a better fishing platform (add a stern hatch), and the trade-offs are substantial for the substantial advantages of the mirage drive.
Great yak and fast very nice
Really not much to say other than I love this kayak! It's fast, handles wonderfully, and has tons of storage. I would highly recommend it (and have) to anyone who wants a stable and versatile kayak.

lol, you know its gonna be a good movie when they warn you about getting sick.
I really didn't think the camera movement was that bad. Only two times where a sudden movement caught me a little off guard I'd say. I don't have a weak stomach, but I definetely don't have an extremely strong stomach either.
I won't watch it. I can't take that stuff since I got Lasik.
Small price to pay.
This space for rent.
I watched a cam version of it and liked it a lot. If you thought I Am Legend was short, this is 15 minutes shorter and has MUCH more action. Pretty disappointing. I'm fine with how they made it, and I very much like it, but I wish there was a ton more, and wish they would remake it as a blockbuster to replace the turd that Godzilla was.
Any movie that stars Matthew Broderick, aside from Wargames, is automatically deducted 4 points from the possible score on the 10 scale.....I'm just sayin'
The camera movement didn't bother me at all. I can easily see how some could have a problem with it, but I thought it added to the movie. Pretty impressive given what they spent to make it. I will go see it at the theater, if I can find someone who's not too much of a Nancy to go with me......The wife is out, she doesn't like the genre, and we'd have to find a sitter. Couple friends I asked are both referred to as Nancy now. I refuse to go see a movie by myself. Hopefully someone else in my circle of friends can have their balls drop soon enough so I can see it before it is gone.
It was a really good movie. The motion didn't bother me at all. It was weird at first, but then you just adapt to it, and it becomes normal. It actually does make you feel like your there with the camera moving around a lot.
I would recommend everyone that doesn't get motion sickness REALLY easy, to go see it. It's a great movie. I wish it wouldn't have ended how it did, but hey, that's how it would have happened.
Marlena?? You guys are obsessing about Marlena??
Lol, Beth was the hot one!
Marlena, such a beautiful name.
Like the song, "Three Marlenas" by the Wallflowers.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
CLOVERFIELD SUCKED!! Let me say that again CLOVERFIELD SUCKED!!
The whole handheld camera thing was stupid. Okay, it has been done. It was cute at the start but after that it got old. Plus the acting was terrible. When they made jokes I wasn't laughing because they were funny I was laughing because they were horrible. I did not care one bit about those people either. I wish they had done more with this giant monster distroying New York (sidenote why can't a movie like this ever happen in say Miami or some place other than NY?). As for this movie lasting too long when I left I looked at the person I saw it with and said well that is three hours wasted because that was how long it felt. The best part was when they girl exsploded. That to me would have been a good chance to exsplain what was going on, or what happened to her. I felt like I had been raped after watching that movie. I had a sick feeling in my stomach like something very special to me had be taken away, roughly.
Worst movies ever:
1 Waterworld
2 The Cable Guy
3 Cloverfield
This movie has the most extremes of people who loved it or hated it of just about any movie I've heard of.
I have a CAM version, not sure if I even want to watch it. I'm certainly not going to go to the theater and see it. I guess I'll wait to see the DVD.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
Don't see it ever! If you have to go stick your head in a vice that will be less painful.
I liked the idea behind the movie and it seemed like a true account of what would happen in that type of situation. I did however have motion sickness in more than one part and my head is still hurting me hours later. But I have a weak brain for too much movement.
Good movie though, not great. I should have waited to download it cause it wasnt worth my $10.95
I am Legend MUCH better.
Let me add my review.
It didn't suck, it wasn't great.
It was, to a point, an original way to tell this type of story. Having said that, I hope no one ever does it again in this fashion.
I'm with Hicks on this. Borne I would get a headache from, this for some reason didn't bother me.
Also side note, at any point in time in the subway did anyone expect Casper Van Diem to pop out with a machine gun and start shooting???? (yes I know a lame starship troopers ref., so sue me I'm a nerd).
Anyway, as one of the posters already said, this movie is probably going to be one of those that elicits very opposite emotions from people. You are either going to love it or hate it most likely.
I happen to fall in-between on this. I found it entertaining, however I would not call this a good film.
I've heard there is already a sequal planned. If so, I hope to God they don't use the same story telling concept.
Oh, one last thing. For those of you who want to know the why's and the how's before you leave a film, you are probably going to hate this. As you know nothing more about the monster after you leave the theatre than what you did when you entered.
It's easy to miss, especially the first time around.
That's not what they wanted you to think it was, and it's not that big.
Everything I've seen where the producers point out that something fell in the ocean, they will never specify what it is. So that part of it is open to interpretation. But at the very least it has something to do with what happened.
Well I finally watched a TS version of it. Didn't care for it that much, didn't hate it though.
I would actually love to see a sequel as long as it was a conventional movie, not a another "handy cam Blare Witch type" movie.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"

The message of the book of Amos against the economic inequities of his day is just as relevant in the twenty-first century. There are a number of excellent commentaries to help us enter Amos's world. The critical commentaries by Andersen and Freedman, Jèorg, Mays, Soggin, and Wolff are all excellent, though Shalom Paul's stands out among them as my favourite. Once again the more popular commentaries by Achtemeier, Craigie, Hubbard, Limburg, Sweeney, and Smith are all quite good, though Stuart is quite accessible as well.

So at my last apt with my high risk dr, which was for my amnio ( went great results came back normal) When they were doing my u/s the tech wasnt saying much but she just kept looking at my babys heart, then she still didnt say anything (after about 30 mins)and went to go get my dr, and he came in and after about another 15 mins, my dr told me that My baby may have a hole in his heart, in the wall that devides the bottom ventricals of his heart, He set me up with an apt to see a pediactric cardiologist, who will look specifically at his heart. Has anyone else been through this? If so what happened in the end was ur baby okay or did he/she need surgery??
You mean like a heart murmur? I was born with one and it eventually went away by itself. Hope everything is okay with your LO.
Quoting adrian's_mommy [TSB]:
my dad has/had (i dunno if it's still there) one and he's okay .. i don't even think they did surgery on it..
I was born with a hole in my heart. A murmer often times only means there is an irregular heartbeat. But some people do have a small hole in one of the walls. Mine finally closed on its own by the time I was a teenager.
heres more info
A hole in the heart is a type of simple congenital heart defect
Yes, my baby had the same issue, with the left ventricle. I also went the the pediatric cardiologist so they could take a look with the ultrasound, and it turned out everything was ok, my daughter was born healthy, and needed no surgery.
my bf was born with 1 they waited till he was 2 yrs old to put a patch on it
My cousin was born with an actual whole in her heart. They did surgery right after she was born and then again around the age of 4? Now she's a healthy active teenager and her hearts doing so well the heart
Syrus had one the size of a quarter (so we were told) and a week before his surgery we went for his final sono and it was healed. they have no idea how it happened or why, but I'm not complaining =] if it hadn't closed he would have needed surgery and they said it would have been at least a 6 hour procedure due to the size of it.
Quoting Proud-Mommy-2-An-Angel:
my friends baby had 2 holes in his heart. he is now 3 and they are gone.
my BIL was born with a heart murmor and he had open heart surgery at about 7 months old. Not sure where the whole was but he turned out to be okay :)
Quoting adrian's_mommy [TSB]:
My nephew was born with CHD (Congenital Heart Defect). He has both ASD and VSD.
His was very severe though. He had open heart surgery at 5 months old and now has a whole mess of problems with his renal system because of it.
But, a lot babies are born with holes, most of them close up.

If you experience an episode of sudden cardiac arrest without warning and survive, your doctor will want to investigate what caused the cardiac arrest. Identifying the underlying problem may help prevent future episodes of cardiac arrest.
Tests your doctor may recommend include:
A test commonly given after cardiac arrest is an electrocardiogram (ECG). During an ECG, sensors (electrodes) that can detect the electrical activity of your heart are attached to your chest and sometimes to your limbs. An ECG can reveal disturbances in heart rhythm or detect abnormal electrical patterns, such as a prolonged QT interval, that increase your risk of sudden death.
A sample of your blood may be tested to check the levels of potassium, magnesium, hormones and other chemicals that may affect your heart's ability to function properly. Other blood tests can detect recent heart injury and heart attacks.
These may include:
Other tests that are often done include:
Electrical system (electrophysiological) testing and mapping. With this type of test, your doctor may try to cause an arrhythmia while closely monitoring your heart. The test can help locate where in the heart the arrhythmia starts.
During the test, thin, flexible tubes (catheters) tipped with electrodes are threaded through your blood vessels to a variety of spots within your heart. Once in place, the electrodes can precisely map the spread of electrical impulses through your heart.
Coronary catheterization (angiogram). During this procedure, a liquid dye is injected into the arteries of your heart through a long, thin tube (catheter) that's advanced through an artery, usually in your leg, to arteries in your heart. As the dye fills your arteries, the arteries become visible on X-ray and videotape, revealing areas of blockage.
While the catheter is in position, your doctor may treat a blockage by performing an angioplasty and inserting a stent to hold the artery open.
Ejection fraction testing. One of the most important predictors of your risk of sudden cardiac arrest is how well your heart is able to pump blood. Your doctor can determine your heart's pumping capacity by measuring what's called the ejection fraction. This refers to the percentage of blood that's pumped out of a filled ventricle with each heartbeat.
A normal ejection fraction is 55 to 70 percent. An ejection fraction of less than 40 percent increases your risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Your doctor can measure ejection fraction in several ways, such as with an echocardiogram, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a nuclear medicine scan (multiple gated acquisition, or MUGA), a computerized tomography (CT) scan or a cardiac catheterization

Asian currency union? An investigation into China's membership with other Asian countries
This paper applies Optimum Currency Area (OCA) theory to investigate the suitability of Asian currency union and its membership, in which China is taken as the central country. Cluster analysis is applied for this study. Both hierarchical clustering and fuzzy clustering approaches are used. The study finds that Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam are most converged with China, and these countries are more likely to be the member countries of the Asian Currency Union.

Young Scooter Straight Been Lyrics[Chorus]
When niggers see the light,
They leave you in the dark.
The shit ain't going right,
Who can you call on?
A couple of years ago,
I sleeping in the dark.
Now I got the village
In my front yard.
Everybody straight,
Everybody straight,
My whole hood straight
All my niggers straight,
All my blood straight
My whole family straight.
Don't let me go game,
That's the blueprint,
Ride 'till that Jay-Z,
The blue crib.
I can't knock my hustle,
Drop Caesar put the streets on curfew.
1017, that's my way in.
Free ..., Scooter work some more men.
Had to take that now,
Fuck that up, next shit.
I remix them every second,
Every minute.
I can't set a dough clean,
I gotta stretch in
What's your future name,
I'll shoot you through your necklace.
Got your flocker in your hood, we wreck it.
Got them tickets,
The tickets mean finessing.
I wasn't straight, in 2008,
I was jammed up, come back from my case.
Come back for estate,
Couldn't even leave the state.
I had no place to stay,
But now I'm super straight.
Now I style Rollings,
And line them at the gates.
Got a million dollar Taurus with no license plate.
No more paper plates, my kids eat off gold plates.
No more rain and noodles, all I wanna eat is stake.
I track a lot of haters, 'cause I'm flexing everyday.
Grind harder, having flashbacks of my broke days.
Plus, I kept my mouth closed when the folks came.
Never fall on my niggers, take it to my grave.

I have had breast tissue under my left arm since puberty. After my breast got smaller from breastfeeding, the underarm tissue looks more separated from my breast since there is a more hollow area on my breasts that used to be fuller before breast feeding. Would my augmentation conceal the appearance of this extra tissue? My PS charges an additional $2500 for removal. Would fuller breasts diminish the appearance of it or is removal is my only option? It is painful too with hormone changes. Thanks
Would Breast Augmentation Reduce the Appearance of my Very Prominent Axillary Armpit Tissue or is Removal my Only Option? (photo
Doctor Answers 13
Axillary breast tissue--??less noticeable with augmentation
The history you offer--that the breasts are smaller since nursing, and the axillary tissue is more noticeable suggests that restoring the volume will make it less noticeable. An augmentation will not, obviously, make the axillary tissue go away, but is likely to make it less noticeable. Removal will make it go away, but depending upon your skin tone, you may still have excess and perhaps sagging skin. This too can be removed but would leave a scar at the incision site.
As you can see in your photos, this tissue is almost always more noticeable in a bra than it is without a bra.
Good luck.
Axillary Breast Tissue Removal
Dear Cecy,
Thank you for sharing your photos depicting the axillary breast tissue pretty well.
Having breast augmentation will not make your problem disappear but rather less noticeable for sure.
Also, considering a trans-axillary breast augmentation could allow your surgeon to address the axillary tissue easily.
I encourage you to seek consultations with several BOARD CERTIFIED surgeons of extensive experience who can guide you to make a well informed decision.
Best of luck to you.

Axillary Breast Tissue
Implants will have little impact on that tissue. It is most likely axillary breast tissue and can be easily removed with liposuction at the time of your augmentation.
Dr. Kearney

Axillary breast tissue
Many female patients have additional breast tissue in their axillary area. The removal usually requires both breast tissue and skin removal. There is a resultan scar. The augmentation will lessen the appearence but not mask it completely. Good luck to you.
Excess skin and tissue in your armpit that hangs out from your bra
does occur often. If your surgeon charges $2500 to remove this, I would suggest you find another surgeon who can do this for you at less expense. This is a procedure that should be able to be done in the office under local anesthetic, saving you a considerable amount as well. Please understand some residuals may remain and you should be aware of what your surgeon's revision policy is in order to allow you to pursue the best possible result.
If you're okay with how it is when you are undressed, consider getting fitted for better brassieres that will contain you rather than push your tissue outside of the cup.
If you're simply desiring to be larger, an implant should help camouflage the excess that you see but your brassiere could still push the tissue out, making it more noticeable.
Talk to your surgeon about your concerns and desires and pick the best plan that suits you.
Axillary breasts
Good question. I certainly see what you are referring to in the photos you sent. Getting breast implants will probably make the auxiliary breast tissue look less noticeable. I have seen axillary breasts much larger than yours, and I do not think it is worthwhile having it removed, especially if cost is a concern. Good luck!
Would Breast Augmentation Reduce the Appearance of my Very Prominent Axillary Armpit Tissue or is Removal my Only Option?
We do see axillary breast tissue quite commonly.
Breast augmentation will soften the visual separation between the breast and the axillary region.
I nearly always recommend leaving the axillary tissue alone, as removal may be incomplete and you may be left with unsightly scars and loose skin.
Good luck!

Breast Augmentation and removal of Accessory Axillary Breast Tissue
The accessory axillary breast tissue probably will not be concealed by a breast augmentation alone. However, this extra tissue could be removed at the same time as your breast augmentation. If the augmentation is done via an axillary incision it should be relatively easy to remove this extra breast tissue at the same time as the breast augmentation. In my practice, if the tissue removal is is performed along with an augmentation the additional charge usually is between $1,000 and $1,500.

Axillary tissue and breast augmentation.
I concur with the other surgeons in that a breast augmentation will make the axillary fullness less prominent, but it will still remain. Having the breast aug and some liposuction should help this nicely.

I was at Fenway on Sunday and there was an Xbox 360 kiosk setup with a playable MLB2K7. I thought it was clever if not obvious marketing. There was actually a line about 12 people deep when I walked by but that was partially due to the 2 1/2 hour rain delay waiting for the game to start.
Anyone seen any setups like this at other MLB stadiums in the country?
(Rain stopped - Sox won - great game - all is good.)
