kisah lucu seorang wartawan mengenai konsert AF5...wartawan ni ada kuar dalam rancangan debat AF yang paling kuat menentang Aswad jadi juara....ahakss...ini laa cerita nyer...bacer sampai abih okey
Pertamanya...sebelom apa apa...mai aku sediakan sikit bahan semburan. Kalao tak kang ada je lalat, langau dan yang sewaktu dengannya yang tak puas ati ngan ewview aku walaopon tak reti yang penilaian orang tak semestinya sama ngan meka nih.
Yerlah...despite the season being over, fanatik fanatik sorang bintang Akademi Fantasia masih tak puas ati dan maki hamun memacam. Especially since tak menang, meka agik la.
But judging that meka ada memacam conspiracy theories yang it was all a set-up in the first place, you can basically judge their mentality and intelligence level, so no comments on that.
Aku cuma kesian ngan si Aswad satu je. Ada peminat fanatik yang kekadang tak pikir tindakan meka bagik orang meluat. Seolah meka je lah peminat kat dunia nih, sampai meka menentukan segalanya.
Mintak mintak da abih musim Akademi Fantasia nih, meka ###### down sikit...kalao tak, tatau ler camna dak nih nak dapat peminat pasnih ngan fan club yang lebih lebih lak.
Anyhoo...now on to the review of the final. I'm almost thankful it's over sebab letih siot nak teruskan benda nih lagik. It's the same routine every season.
Before I go on to the review however, aku cita sikit.
Cita betapa kelakar ada yang kuat ngata orang tapi sendiri tak ingat. Malas cakap in detail, sendiri paham ler.
Ewww... some people memang tak reti malu. Aku rasa sapa ada with me that night sendiri nampak perangai seseorang nih and can judge the professionalism of this person for themselves.
Anyways, back to the concert. Meriah gak walaopon honestly, memang aku rasa tak se-electrifying musim musim first, second and third. Tapi ok gak ler.
Erm...spotted the marching band in the back. Horrible looking.
Mak aih!!! Sib baik Dollah Cantek sebelom start dan warning awal awal berjaga tuk letopan. Heh...kalao tak, ada ler stretcher menunggu.
The performance of Phantom of the Opera was just sad, I don't know sebab house system ker, ataopon apa, but maybe because of the acoustics everything just sounded horrible and I couldn't make out at all what they were singing. Heh...honestly. What as waste... and the costumes looked cam kedai sewa masquerade party. Cheap.
And cheap too indeed was the marching band which just looked damn ridiculous. And the cheerleaders too. Sad ler...was that a basket toss? I don't think so.
Good idea. A 10 for it. But for execution? 0!
Bebudak finalists masuk je abih sora jerit sampai abih. heh...yerlah. Everyone's a fan kan...and this is the final.
Erm...kenapa rambut semua horror? Dari ramai ramai cuma si Ebi punya je ok. Yang lain nampak cam kena naya siot!!!
Dari segi baju, paling kesian si Heliza yang nampak cam a bad version of Catwoman attacked by polka dots. I thought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was too cruel, tapi orang ni pun had the same vision. Berbaloi ke tidak Astro bak Jasmi Rejab tuh, they can see for themselves. Cuma slightly better than keja orang tertentu musim lepas je la... that's why orang tak bising sangat.
The whole intro took some 15 minutes, which I thought was just too long winded.
To make it even worse, abih break jer, the video montage of masa bebudak baru masuk and all. Arghh!!! Buang masa!
And it gets worse... sebelom Heliza perform ada lak video montage si Faizal. Now that was the ultimate waste of time. Promo tuk dia kot. Yerla...kesiang juara yang tenggelam. So bagik chang ler.
Heliza - Cinta Boneka (D-Va)
Ok...she's back to being herself. I knew the song was the wrong choice from the start. Aku da agak mesti horror, and it was just that. Aku leh maapkan memacam tapi vocal dia, erm, just sounded like an amateurish karaoke outing.
Meleret, and she had a tendency to dip really low on the low notes yang irritating. It wasn't just the start and she didn't pick it up, unlike what Jee said. Hattan kata dia improve confidence and all, but she never had a problem with that. Ogy said it too, which was weird.
Tiga lampu biru? I don't think so. It was quite bad actually, dan aku rasa jatuh standard dia in comparison ngan previous two weeks.Sedih gak sebab ni opening finalist number and I had hoped dia akan up kan tahap Kesal dua minggu lepas.
Sayangnya...sampai time nih aku da rasa dia slip back to her old faults. I mean, honestly it wasn't that bad, but firstly it wasn't final material and secondly aku rasa dia masih lom break through her shell (erm...for lack of a better word) and tunjukkan kemampuan diri sebenar dia.
A lot of potential, and yet, so deep inside.
Aswad - Bila Mati Cinta Terhenti
Aiyo...start je kekapakan. I'm sorry, but he really has to be more versatile.
Nak kata sora langsung takde, keji lak cakap camtuh. He can sing...but he really needs direction in grooming his vocals.
Nak kapak pun kena ada the right approach ma. I think apart from teaching them the basics of techniques and all, patutnya meka ni diajar to be more vocally expressive and absorbent of other influences. After all, that's the difference between a singer and an artiste.
Vocals dia pun strangely enough cam Heliza, cam lemah kalao banding ngan minggu minggu sebelomnya. He nearly cracked masa nak higher notes, but barely scraped through not too impressively.
The second half was just horrible. Sebutan muffled and I couldn't make up a word of what he was saying. Nak salahkan sound system ke projection yang Chipsmore ala ala ada ada takde gituh.
Overall vocally, he had the same amount of feel as peserta pertandingan karaoke.
Boring. He looked like he tried. But doesn't mean it was good. 10 for effort, 4 for actual execution.
Oh by the way lagu tuh sucked siot. Kenapa la lagu final bosan camni. Ewww!!!! Kalau orang nak kata dia kena naya, aku tak salahkan bab nih because lagu ni horror. Bagik ler lagu potential sikit.
Beruntung kata Jee? You got to be joking!
Tapi dari Jee, ke Hattan, ke Ogy it was pretty obvious it just didn't work.
"Saved by the lagu," kata abang Mamat!
Aduh...mati tergolek aku gelak pecah perot. Paham tak statement dia? Heh!
Kalao tak paham tatau ler.
The song wasn't that good to begin with.
Candy - Dedebu Cinta (Misha Omar)
Aiyo!!!! Sarung wig murah haper tuh??? Keji la rambut camtuh. What's with the stylist? Buta ke memang plan nak naya bebudak nih!
Why la they like to do this. Tak paham.
Baju lak cam yang jual bundle tambah detailing sikit jer.
And please, tell me, what's with the matching puke green heels? I know you were going for this thing with the top, but it didn't work at all. The whole outfit and the
But once dia bukak mulot aku da lupakan rambut kejung dia... oops...sensitif!!! I mean that horrible thing that died on her head!!!
Candy was mesmerising. Few, too few mistakes, and simpy spell binding!!!!
Empat lampu biru!!!! Yeay!! Er...untuk persembahan dia ek, not for the horrendous make up yang ala ala drag queen pencen.
Biarla wardrobe Astro dan Jasmi Rejab naya dia camna pon,she sounded fabulous!
Masa Mamat Khalid komen, ada lak peminat yang standard la kurang ajar, kecoh tak puas ati pengkritik semua puji. Teka la fan club mana yang bising tuh.Tak paham... mengundang je budak tak bersalah lak kena boo kang.
Apapon, memang beautiful!!! (sambil top mata memuji sora jer - damn you wardrobe Astro!!!)
Ebi - Sinar Cinta
Smart siot Ebi. It was a nice fitting suit and a good haircut that offset that ugly shirt he wore inside.
I don't know...it was a little messy... but Ebi carried it ok I suppose.
Ramai ler merembes sampai kontang (pinjam statement Kbians - peminat Ebi) ler ramai ramai.
First things, first, the backing music for his song, was the only one so far yang sedap. Lain semua cam erm... tamau la cakap ringtone. Tapi decide la sendiri.
Erm...tul kata seseorang tuh. So it's not just me, kenapa every song kena ada guitar solo. So the 80an arrangement segala.Blast from the past!
Walaopon lagu ni pon ala rock kapak, at least masa chorus, Ebi brought out a vibe that played true tribute to the kapak genre (does it count as a genre of its own? never thought of it as an offshoot of rock)
It wasn't perfect, but I think it deserved a little more credit than that even though it wasn't fantastic.
Still better than Heliza though, and aku pelik kenapa meka leh bagik si Heliza tiga lampu biru and only one to Ebi.
Oh well...actually I know ler... but no comment.
Note : erm... the My Heart segment terok la. I would have liked it if they hadn't shown Rizal dan Dekna. Sorang tuh da bertunang. Jangan ler wat camni. Tak pasal pasal kang terjadi kisah lama rumahtangga bakal didirkan roboh. Hish...keji...keji...
Mila - Persis Mutiara
Kenapa la bebudak ni dolled up sampai camni. It's so tarty!
Kesian tau!!! Hiish! Kalao make up nak grand jangan ler sampai moka cam colour pallette lengkap semua warna warna warna pelangi.
Dah kira moka cam bontot merak la pakai mekap tebal tebal camni. All the girls are beautiful, and I think the make up, walaopon for stage effect, takyah la tempek sampai kena pahatkan nak buang kang!
Penghinaan tol ler aku rasa meka kena plaster moka ngan make up camnih. Nih mesti pakai make up artist ala ala mak andam yang kedai sebelah kedai mak Non yang niaga sebelah Parit Dua tepi gerai burger si Hassan anak Pak Din tuh. KEJI!!!!!
And should I go on about the curtains she was wearing? The top bit spoilt it for me and ended up making the lower half which was actually kind of nice, draped all wrong. Don't know...just didn't work. Colour was nic ethough (desperate carik benda nak puji pasal wardrobe nih sebab pujian asik nan ado jer)
But suara dia memang besh, dan bukan je dibantu lagu ok, even though it's the least busuk so far of the original compositions.Tak paham ler...
Kenapa tahun ni lagu lagu tugasan yang original cam kurang menyengat. Ke aku je nih???
Malas nak cita panjang. Jusr simply deserving of empat lampu biru yang sebenarnya tak perlu.
Aswad - Mata Hati Cinta (Awie)
Here we go again. Karaoke session with Aswad. Honestly he reminds me of some wedding singer. Tapi aku rasa kebanyakkan penyanyi kenduri kahwin aku penah dengar pun better than this. Erm.. kang aku komen lebih, tak puji orang kata biased lak. So camna?
Walaopon aku suka lagu ni, aku terdiam. I thought he would prove me wrong, but the only thing wrong was his vocals. Lagu da kuat tapi hasil nan ado.
Ogy kata yang penting dia enjoy. tapi in reality kalao it ends up syok sendiri ler in the end. So wat per?
Suka carutan abang Mamat. Besh... heh...paham ke tak paham terpulang. Dia ni kali ni banyak double meaning. Takde sedirect as it sounds.
Apapon, I suppose in a way I wanted to be proven wrong, sebab aku ingat dia mampu nak tackle lagu ni. But to be kind, it was just average.
It didn't help, dia dipakaikan jaket dan seluar ala ala beli kat bundle kat CHow Kit jer. Hish...melampau dan semakin melampau wardrobe nih. Well.. at least baju dia yang awal tadik tuh lawa ler.
Heliza - Cinta Di Lautan Lalang
Aduh...tajuk dia aku memang tak tahan. Siot je abang Loloq! Heh... aduh...apa la ######phor nih yang dia nak gambarkan. Mungkin jiwa aku nih kurang sensitiviti seni, but I think the title and the song itself was either laughable or just too deep for me to fathom (jangan marah Loloq - lu masih geng!)
Aiyo...close up moka dia pon sama cam Candy dan Mila overdose make up.
Dan erm...kalao korang perasan like I said, again she's wearing the same black body stocking/turtle neck. Aku tau ler dia ni kena limited sikit wardrobe, but jangan ler pakaikan baju yang seksi kalao asik dirosakkan body suit tuh. Carik ler baju sopan cover cover...
Bosan siot lagu baru ni... kenapa ek kali ni lagu lagu langsung tak melekat dalam pala aku. Aduh!!!!!
Tak satu aku leh ingat melodi. Kalao musim pertama, ingat lagu Vince dan Azizi, dua, Zahid, Farah, Adam, dan Bob, tiga aku ingat lagu Mawi, Marsha, Amylea dan Felix. For musim lepas, lagu Faizal, Farhan, Velvet... this time satu pon setakat ni tak masuk langsung. Kenapa ek.
Tak strong satu, pastuh arrangement kehausan. Sora ok ok jer...aduh. Apa nak jadik nih...takde umphh langsung.
Tiga lampu biru lagi? Aku suka pun kat dia...but erm...entahlah.
Aku stuju dan tak stuju ngan komen Hattan. I agree she's found her own sound, walaopon tak defined, tapi aku tak stuju yang the first performance was better. Weird.
Candy - Demam
Kenapa penari backing dia cam senamrobik jer? Who the heck choreographed these people. Sodih!
They were actually a bad distraction and not complimenting her performance at all.
Ok...of all the songs yang original compositions, I think this is the best. The best of the worst, but the best. It was just infectious and catchy and I suppose that it stuck in my mind, for want of a btter tune though.
I found myself grooving to it. Arrangement was weird though, tapi Candy managed to rock the house. I thought she carried herself like a pro.
Dalam bebanyak meka komen komen, tak nampak lak kakak Candy di celah celah pengkritik seperti biasa. Nak gelak aku... teringat konsert konsert lepas moka kakak dia posing celah pengkritik sambil pose sakan termasuk jelir lidah sana sini. Ewww..!!!!
Oh well, people find it hard to appreciate her, and that's going to be her demon for sure when she comes into the real world ni.Still, her talents are undeniable, and at least that's a good foundation. Still.. she has a long way to go in terms of getting close to completing the package.
PS - Aku tak ingat sangat tapi bab Candy nih aku rasa gambar baju dia ni terbalik kan? Patutnya aku letak pic ni kat lagu first. Apapon, keduanya burok so sama jer (matilah malas ubahkan)
Ebi - Farhana (Jinbara)
I never really likes this song and I probably never will, but Ebi did quite good! Not as good as the girls, but still, he did good!
His vocals were rocking all right, and it just worked, though I don't know. So many distractions to overcome, with the stupid backing dancers it was just silly! And the clothes just looked cheap.I said wedding singer because for some reason the top (maybe the illusion of the shirt too) made it look like a bad take of a cheap ass tux.
Apapon, you gotta give him credit sebab dia mampu maintain vocal dia despite melonjat sana sini. I didn't like it, but it worked, so there. Erm.. pretty much like Kasih Laila, so questionable ler soal showmanship dia punya originality. I mean you can only do that so many times before it becomes a tired gimmick.
Satu lampu biru je? Erm.. to be fair he deserved more la. Hish... oh well. Go with the flow ler.
Mila - Cinta Pura Pura (Ezlynn)
Was it just me? Kenapa I'm so reminded of the Swamp Thing ngan baju ni? She looks so so draped in seaweeds. Like Ted said, it was so Pirates of the Carribean. Cam pinjam baju extra lanun hantu. Heh...
Kenapa la stylist nih. Tak bagi bebudak imej sendiri. They tried to make her look like Ezlynn tai secara jujurnya kalao korang tengok dalam pic sebelah kan, she actually looks like a young version of Datuk Sharifah Aini!
But she definitely didn't sound like Ezlynn that's for sure. Aku respect dia nih ler. Memang jauh perjalanan dia da.
Dari performance first and second week, she's now made it to be deserving of a champion.
Now THIS is a champion's performance!!! Baru aku rasa sikit cam final!
Dan aku rasa satu stadium pun stuju!!!!
The only performance for me to get excited about for the whole night.
And the only five star rating I'm going to give this season.

I have a small indented scar with rigid walls on the shaft of my penis. This happened approximately six months ago. I would like to have a Fraxel re:pair laser resurfacing on this small area. Is this an option? I was told that a Dr. in my area would consider it when I made an appointment at a local clinic, but I'm not sure he actually will. Another doctor suggested the scar could be excised. I just don't want to do anything that will make the matter worse. Advice is being sought. Thanks.
Small Indented Scar with Rigid Walls on the Shaft of my Penis. Would Fraxel Re:pair Work?

Fraxel for small indented scar
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
This question is impossible to answer without seeing you in person. This likely explains why no one else replied. My gut tells me that your results with excision will be superior to Fraxel but I cannot say for sure. Good luck!

A healthy smile is the result of good brushing habits, regular checkups, and an uncanny ability to dodge uppercuts. Maintain your molars with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
$29 for a dental exam, cleaning, and x-rays (a $165 value)
$1,599 for a complete dental implant (a $3,850 total value)
- Digital x-rays (a $150 value)
- Surgical implant (a $1,950 value)
- Healing abutment (a $150 value)
- Implant abutment (a $700 value)
- Milled implant crown (a $900 value)

The dental exam, cleaning, and x-rays search mouths for any warning signs of cavities or other issues. Alternatively, a dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a crown that looks and functions like a real tooth. During the procedure, the dentist installs the implant, a small metal cylinder, into the jawbone. After it has fused to the bone, the cylinder is fitted with an abutment to hold the crown—the replacement tooth—in place. The time of the procedure varies by patient, and it usually takes six to nine months for the bone to fuse to the implant.

Instead, the office houses a comfortable lounge area, a private massage room, and a sleek table proffering complimentary paraffin wax dips for clients' hands. This spa-like atmosphere is the collective vision of Drs. Khaef, and Solooki, professionals who draw upon years of experience to tend to teeth while focusing on their patient's comfort. The skilled team performs procedures ranging from general cleanings and fillings to cosmetic surgeries and dental implants, all employing advanced technology to make visits as efficient and painless as possible.

I had botox once approximately 3 months ago for the wrinkles when I frown. It is now starting to wear off slightly and I have noticed a prominent vein on my forehead. Is this caused by the botox? I am now really concerned to have it done again as I really don't want a noticeable vein. Also since i had botox my skin looks tight between my eyebrows. Is this because it hasn't been done properly?
Can Botox Cause Bulging Veins and Tight Skin?
Doctor Answers 3
Botox and veins and skin tightness
The answers and advice given by others here is accurate and valid in my opinion. When skin is smooth you can see underlying veins. The veins can be treated but it may be a long course so be patient. Smooth skin appears tighter. So if you do not like this effect you simply do not get more Botox. Although wildly popular, not all patients like Botox. I have seen the vein appearance in a member of my own family that i was treating for a very lined forehead. She chose to ignore the vein and enjoy the great Botox effect. Botox is wonderful, but it is not for everyone. My Best, Dr C

Botox and skin/veins
Botox works to relax the muscles where it's injected...if you are noticing a vein or "tighter" skin, it absolutely could be a direct result of the Botox injection(s). The smoother the skin, the easier to see underlying vasculature.
Botox causing vein and tight skin
When the muscles don't move anymore, or as much, it can make the skin appear tighter. Most people actually like this affect because it creates a smoothness. Also, when the skin is tighter sometimes a more prominent vein will show up. The vein can be treated with sclerotherapy, most likely. But the Botox didn't cause the vein. The smoothness of the skin after Botox is just making it much more obvious.

Despite concerns that the changes introduced under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would lead to a decline in employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) coverage, the available evidence continues to show no changes in ESI offer rates, take-up rates, or overall ESI coverage for workers under the ACA.
In earlier work, we reported that ESI offer rates, take-up rates, and ESI coverage held steady across income levels and firm sizes between June 2013 and September 2014, a period spanning the implementation of the ACA's health insurance Marketplaces and Medicaid expansions that followed a long trend of declining ESI rates. An updated analysis shows those trends held through early 2015, after a full year of experience for employers and workers (Figure 1). Coverage, offer, and take-up rates were stable between June 2013 and March 2015 for workers in both small and large firms as well as for workers with higher and lower incomes. Employer-sponsored insurance coverage also remained unchanged among all nonelderly adults from June 2013 through March 2015.
While federal survey data providing estimates of employer-sponsored coverage post-2014 are yet to be released, private survey data support the finding that ESI has remained stable if not increased under the ACA. Studies of employers have similarly found no significant changes in offer rates or employee enrollment after the implementation of the ACA's major coverage provisions.
Source: Health Reform Monitoring Survey, quarter 2 2013 and quarter 1 2015.
Notes: ESI is employer-sponsored insurance. Estimates are regression adjusted. Respondents are coded as having an ESI offer if their own or a family member's employer offers health insurance or they report having ESI coverage.
^ Among workers offered ESI through their own or a spouse's employer.
No estimate differs significantly from zero at the 0.1/.05/.01 levels, using two-tailed tests.
Even as ESI rates have held steady for workers, the rate of uninsurance among nonelderly workers declined 5.9 percentage points between June 2013 and March 2015 (Figure 2) as new coverage options through the Marketplaces and Medicaid expansions became available under the ACA, dropping from 13.8 to 7.8 percent (data not shown). These parallel findings of steady ESI rates with decreasing uninsurance among workers suggest that the ACA coverage provisions are not displacing ESI but instead providing new coverage to previously uninsured workers.
As an example, the declines were particularly pronounced among lower-income workers at small firms, where there was a 15.6 percentage-point decline in uninsurance, dropping from 40.0 percent to 24.4 percent (data not shown). Before the ACA, small firms with predominately low-wage employees were much less likely to offer coverage than larger, higher-wage firms. Lower-income workers at large firms also experienced a significant decline in uninsurance (9.1 percentage points), though with 12.0 percent uninsurance in March 2015 these workers remain significantly more likely to have insurance coverage than lower-income workers at small firms (data not shown).
Source: Health Reform Monitoring Survey, quarter 2 2013 and quarter 1 2015.
Notes: FPL is federal poverty level. Small firms includes firms with fewer than 50 workers across all sites and self-employed adults; large firms includes firms with 50 or more workers across all sites.
*/**/*** Estimate is significantly different from zero at the 0.1/0.05/0.01 level, using two-tailed tests.
Gaining coverage is the first step in increasing access to care and improving the health and well-being of workers. In addition to the declines in uninsurance, we are beginning to see improvements in access to care among workers (Figure 3). For example, the share of nonelderly workers with a usual source of care increased 3.4 percentage points, and the share with a routine checkup in the past 12 months increased 2.5 percentage points. In addition, a smaller share of nonelderly workers reported unmet need for care because of cost in March 2015 compared with June 2013.
Factors other than the ACA such as an improving economy could explain increased access to care in this timeframe. Contrary to the predictions of some, however, we do not find evidence thus far that the ACA has impeded access to care for workers.
Source: Health Reform Monitoring Survey, quarter 2 2013 and quarter 1 2015.
Notes: Estimates are regression-adjusted. Workers includes nonelderly adults working for pay and self-employed adults.
*/**/*** Estimate is significantly different from zero at the 0.1/0.05/0.01 level, using two-tailed tests.
It is too soon to know the full impact of the ACA on ESI. Employers may be slow to understand and react to the ACA's coverage provisions, and any impacts will likely occur over several years. Further, the rollout of other components of the ACA such as the "Cadillac tax" (an excise tax effective in 2018 on high-cost health plans) and employer mandates will affect the trajectory of ESI. Of course, the strength of the economy and growth in health care costs ultimately shape employer decisions regarding insurance coverage for their workers. Similarly, it may take time to make substantial headway in improving access to care and the health status of workers, as there are very real challenges of limited health insurance literacy and navigating the health care system for workers.
In the meantime, despite concerns to the contrary, the evidence suggests that employers have remained the backbone of health insurance coverage in the United States as uninsurance among workers has dropped and access to care is improving. Continued outreach efforts to reach workers who remain uninsured, as well as education efforts by employers and health plans to improve understanding of insurance coverage terms and benefits, could expand upon the early gains we find to improve the health of the workforce.

Wednesday we had our first site visit. Our site for the semester project will be a vacant lot that sits across from the Detroit Athletic Club and relatively close to the Boll Family YMCA, Comerica Park and Ford Field, and many other great downtown attractions. It appears to be the only undeveloped land in a seemingly bustling area of downtown. Here are some of the surrounding buildings...
Harmony Park is just a block south of our site.
Harmony Studios sits right across the street.
This is our site. The building pictured backs up to the east half of our site...
...and the Milner Hotel backs up to the west half.
This is the Detroit Athletic Club, which sits directly across the street from our site.
This is one of the neighboring buildings, the Detroit Opera House.
This is Barden Companies, across the street from the Opera House.
It looks like Etta James will be visiting our site too. Or at least the Music Hall across the street.
I have some other picutres I may post later to give you an idea of the surrounding areas. In my opinion, this is a great location. It's amazing that this land hasn't been developed yet. Maybe that will change in the near future.
they tore down our milner hotel. too bad. i took pictures of it before the implosion.
it's probably not that the land hasn't been developed so much as it is that an older building was removed and the owner found that, with very little maintenance/overhead, he/she could make money on paid parking. the curse of downtowns everywhere.
you've got a lot to work with. have fun!

What keeps you from loving someone God loves so much? How might your life change if you really believed God loves you - not just in your head but down where it counts, in your heart? Imagine how different things could be: The lies you've believed about yourself all these years dispelled. The wounds of abuse healed. Your future lit with hope, peace, and purpose. Your closeness with God and others deepened immeasurably. The true, heaven-born you free at last to live a life unclouded by shame, guilt, and fear and empowered to love others fully. That can be you. The truth is far, far better than you've known. Drawing on their many years of biblical counseling practice, Jerry and Denise Basel invite you on a journey of God-discovery, self-discovery, and truth-discovery. The Missing Commandment: Love Yourself will help you experience God's love as the daily, motivating force in your life. And it will show you how to stop punishing and start loving someone whom your heavenly father loves very much - you. You see, the missing commandment has never been missing from the Bible, only from your life. But that can change, starting now.

"So Grateful I Found This Book!"
If "life-changing" wasn't so over-used, that is how I would describe this book, because it is powerful enough to change lives. The Basels use plenty of biblical references (in the correct context imo) to defeat the unfortunate attitude in some of Christian culture that loving ourselves is selfish and sinful. I am so grateful for the clarity The Missing Commandment offers- to agree with God, to "love what (who) He loves (you)."
"I feel Gods love & understand Jesus' purpose & God"
narrators perfect, soft soothing voices. Easy to understand. with practice & God I'll get it!
"Highly recommended if you are a Christian !"
Great breakdown of childhood pain and trauma in a Christian view/way! it really uncovers a lot of events and why they may still occurred in your life.

text: Culture 17 March 2011 Civilisation: the West and the Rest Sign up for our weekly email * Niall Ferguson's new history of western "civilisation" begins and ends not in the west, but in China. In the preface, Ferguson recalls the moment he realised that "500 years of western ascendancy" were drawing to a close - it was when he watched a performance of work by the Chinese composer Angel Lam, who, he writes, "personifies the Orientalisation of classical music". By the end of the book, he is announcing that the "Asian century has already arrived" and is giving us the data to prove it: China's GDP grew by a factor of ten in less than 30 years; its share of global manufacturing has outstripped those of Germany and Japan, and is about to surpass that of the United States; it is now second only to the US in supercomputing capacity; and its "megacities" are expanding at such a rate as to make American conurbations look like villages. China has been on Ferguson's mind for a while. In his previous book, The Ascent of Money, he examined the role it played in the global financial crisis of autumn 2008. Without Chinese savings being recycled into the US economy in the form of sub-prime mortgages, there would very likely have been no credit bubble and no housing bubble, and therefore no crash. China played a central role in the recovery, too: that we've experienced a "Slight" rather than a "Great Depression" can be explained, he argues here, in part by China's decision to expand bank lending in order to revive slumping exports to the west. Civilisation raises the important question of the extent to which China's apparently irresistible rise can be explained by the adoption of what Ferguson calls a "template for the way the rest of the world aspire[s] to organise itself". He thinks this was best summed up by Winston Churchill, who defined the "central principle of Civilisation" as the "subordination of the ruling class to the settled customs of the people and to their will as expressed in the Constitution". (Ferguson addresses this question only in the final two chapters; his main aim is not to explain western decline, but western pre-eminence between the beginning of the 16th century and the start of the 21st.) China's breakneck economic expansion over the past 30 years (and it's clear that Ferguson understands "civilisational" hegemony primarily in economic terms) has been achieved without the creation of the kind of liberal democratic institutions that are integral to civilisation in Churchill's sense. And its adoption of the civil society institutions - private property and freedom of contract, for instance - that have underpinned the economic success of states elsewhere in East Asia has been somewhat belated. A law enshrining individual property rights was finally passed in China in 2007, and was received with enthusiasm by the Economist, an indefatigable cheerleader for the western "template". One of the magazine's writers declared that, in other unspecified countries, the emergence of an asset-owning middle class had been followed by an "unstoppable drift towards greater pluralism . . . [and] contested politics" - as if the expansion of democratic freedoms followed from the protection of economic liberties almost as a matter of logic. Democratic reform in China is highly desirable, and is no doubt desired by millions of Chinese people; but, pace western triumphalists like that Economist writer, it is by no means inevitable. If China is changing, it is in the direction not of western liberal democracies, but rather that of authoritarian civil societies of the sort that exist in Singapore or Taiwan, and in which economic growth has been accompanied neither by greater political freedom nor by an abandonment of traditional "Asian values" in favour of western-style individualism. This is something that Ferguson himself recognises. He says, with some justification, that his book is "not another version of 'The Triumph of the West'". On the contrary, the "killer applications" on which western ascendancy were built are being "downloaded" only selectively by the Chinese and others, and there's no reason to suppose that they'll be buying the full package any time soon. l Jonathan Derbyshire is culture editor of the New Statesman.

Wolf delivers gem for Dodgers
Wolf delivers gem for Dodgers
On Sunday, Dodgers bench coach Bob Schaefer helped his club steal a run and beat the D-backs, 3-1, finishing a 4-3 trip with the home opener Monday at Dodger Stadium.
Starting pitcher Randy Wolf did the heavy lifting. He threw a two-hitter over seven-plus innings for his first win in his second Dodgers stint. He gave up hits to the first batter he faced (a Felipe Lopez double) and the last batter (a Chad Tracy single leading off the eighth inning).
Prior to Tracy's hit, Wolf retired 16 consecutive batters, and he finished with five strikeouts. He's 5-1 lifetime at Chase Field and 7-3 against Arizona. Hong-Chih Kuo pitched and fielded his way out of a jam in the eighth and Jonathan Broxton pitched the ninth for his third save.
Wolf bounced back after losing Tuesday in San Diego, when he took a three-hitter into the sixth inning, then allowed hits to the next three batters, who scored.
"I felt that I gave that game away, I made stupid pitches later in the game and I beat myself up about it," Wolf said. "Today, I stuck to my plan. I took the last game hard, should have won that game. Those don't feel good."
Wolf said he didn't have his full arsenal Sunday, his fastball lacking velocity, but he had command of his off-speed pitches and kept Arizona hitters off-balance for a 90-pitch outing.
"Sometimes, you have good stuff in the bullpen and you kind of get away from your strengths because you feel too good," he said. "Today, I had to lock in on my off-speed pitches or it would have been a long day."
If Wolf won the game with his arm, he made the highlights with his bat, starting the strange second-inning play that tied the score with a run awarded when the Arizona defense did not execute the rarely seen fourth-out rule.
Andre Ethier was at third base, Juan Pierre at second, and with one out and the infield drawn in, Wolf lined out to pitcher Dan Haren, who threw to second baseman Felipe Lopez, who tagged out Pierre off second base for the third out of the inning.
But by the time Lopez tagged Pierre, Ethier -- breaking on contact as instructed -- had crossed the plate. The D-backs -- believing the inning was over and not realizing that Ethier's run was live -- left the field without making a play on Ethier at third base. As the teams changed sides, plate umpire Larry Vanover walked over to third-base umpire Charlie Reliford, apparently to discuss the play.
This is where Schaefer stole the run. He noticed the umpires talking and pointed out to manager Joe Torre that the run should score, citing the fourth-out rule, which Torre said Schaefer had talked about during Spring Training.
Torre went out to appeal. And after an umpire huddle, Vanover ruled that Schaefer was right, the Ethier run counted -- even though Ethier had not tagged up -- because there was no appeal play made at third base.
"They got it right," Arizona manager Bob Melvin said after a half-hearted chat with Vanover.
Afterward, umpire crew chief Reliford said the run was not immediately awarded because there was confusion over whether Lopez had stepped on second base before tagging Pierre, even though second-base umpire Dan Iassogna didn't rule Pierre out until he was tagged by Lopez, which the umpires eventually concluded.
"They could have gotten the fourth out with an appeal at third base," Reliford said, "but they didn't do that before leaving the field."
A play at third on Ethier would have been the fourth out of the inning, but it would have taken precedence over the third out because it would have erased a run.
"I had it once in Double-A at Jacksonville [1983] on a bunt that the pitcher caught and doubled the runner off first while the runner scored from third," Schaefer said. "You read about it, you never see it. But it's in the rules."
Torre, who has four World Series rings and 50 years in the game, said he's never seen the play. Ethier was playing catch in right field for the next inning when the run went on the scoreboard.
"It was kind of shocking," Ethier said. "Joe says to run everything out and keep playing, and it paid off. It was like Little League, the last runner just keep running until they tag you out."
The Dodgers scored the second run off Haren in the third inning, Rafael Furcal's leadoff walk cashed in by James Loney's RBI single. In the ninth, Russell Martin led off with a single, and two outs later, was doubled home by Matt Kemp.
Arizona scored in the first inning. One pitch after Wolf thought he struck out Lopez (Vanover disagreed), Lopez doubled, was bunted to third by Chris Young and scored on Stephen Drew's sacrifice fly.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y (Feb. 3)
The United Nations has not been informed of any plans for a Four Power meeting on the Mideast situation but will be prepared to place all necessary facilities at the disposal of the conference, a UN spokesman announced today. Speculation at the UN head quarters was that such a meeting probably would not be held before the middle of February, because of the absence of Lord Caradon, the British Permanent Representative here. He was due to return Feb. 12 from London.
With Secretary-General U Thant in Ethiopia today, there was no comment here on Washington reports that the United States National Security Council had decided on American participation in Four Power talks on the Mideast within the framework of the UN Security Council and terms of reference of its Nov. 22, 1967 resolution. There was considerable gratification here at the stress in Washington reports on the projected role of the UN and the U.S. intention to channel efforts at a solution through the UN.
A spokesman for the U.S. Mission to the UN, when asked today about the Nixon position on Four Power talks, called press reports "premature." He declined to explain further.
There was no indication today whether Dr. Gunnar V. Jarring, Mr. Thant's special envoy for the Mideast, would be available here if these talks were held later this month. Dr. Jarring was expected to return to his Moscow post as Sweden's Ambassador there soon after Mr. Thant's return here on Thursday.
It was disclosed today that the president of the last General Assembly, Emilio Arenales, had not yet appointed the three-nation committee which by General Assembly directive is to study the status of the civilian population in the territories occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War.
President Richard M. Nixon, after consulting over the week-end with his top advisors in the National Security Council, decided to accept the French proposal for Four Power talks at the UN. Mr. Nixon was said to have instructed the State Department to reply affirmatively to the French proposal. He was also understood to be preparing a cordial letter to President Gamal Abdel Nasser, of Egypt, which was seen as opening the way for the resumption of diplomatic relations between Washington and Cairo. Relations were severed by Cairo during the June, 1967 Six-Day War when Col. Nasser accused the United States and Britain of sending aircraft to help Israel. The Egyptian leader retracted the charges in an interview with Look Magazine, though it was false. His retraction was never published in Egypt. The new Nixon letter, which will be in reply to one from Col. Nasser congratulating the President on his inauguration, would, it was said here, allow the Egyptian President to take the initiative in resuming diplomatic ties without retracting his June, 1967 charges.
Mr. Nixon's acceptance of the principle of Four Power talks was viewed as a departure from the stand of the Johnson Administration which held that a durable settlement of the Middle East conflict had to come from within the region. But the Nixon Administration was clearly opposed to the concept of a Middle East settlement imposed by the Big Powers. The President was said to have found merit in the French plan to hold discussions within the UN between the Permanent Representatives of the Big Four which are, along with Nationalist China, permanent members of the Security Council.
The U.S. views the Four Power talks as a means of reinforcing the peace-seeking mission of Dr. Jarring and will stress this in its reply to France. Dr. Jarring does not consider the terms of his mandate from the Security Council to permit him to advance any peace plans of his own.
It was expected that the U.S. will suggest "consultations" instead of a formal "conference" among the Big Four UN representatives in order to dispel the idea that an imposed settlement–opposed by Israel–was in the making. The Nixon Administration was also said to have found merit in that part of the Soviet Middle East peace proposal of Dec. 30, 1968 which would have the Arabs and Israelis communicate at first through Dr. Jarring. The Arabs have refused to meet face to face with Israel. Like the Johnson Administration, the Nixon Administration believes that Israel cannot be made to give up the territories it won in June, 1967 without firm assurances of a lasting peace. Mr. Nixon has, therefore, reportedly decided that there should be an iron-clad contractual agreement of some sort between the disputing parties as part of any settlement.
Israel's Ambassador Yitzhak Rabin met today at the State Department with Elliot L. Richardson, the new Under-Secretary of State. It is believed that Ambassador Rabin sought clarification of the emerging U.S. policy.
(Premier Levi Eshkol of Israel was reported to have urged President Nixon, in a personal message, to oppose any Mideast settlement imposed by the Major Powers. Mr. Eshkol reportedly asked the President to stand firm for direct Arab-Israeli negotiations for peace and stressed that Israel could not accept a settlement imposed by the Super-Powers. Official sources said it was delivered prior to last Saturday's meeting of the President with his top advisors.)
In Philadelphia, Sen. Hugh Scott, of Pennsylvania, assistant Republican floor leader of the Senate, said today that President Nixon's initiative for Arab-Israel peace "should not be interpreted as an effort to impose a settlement" that Israel cannot accept. He called on the Administration to "reject the efforts of the Russians and the French to write U.S. policy" on Israel. He told the Cardozo Lodge of B'rith Sholom here that he was "confident that President Nixon knows full well that the only lasting settlement must be one to which Israel and the Arab states freely subscribe."

A Steel of a Deal at Anvil Pub
Quittin' Time brings you tips on where to spend your happy hour drinking money.
Where: Anvil Pub, 2638 Elm St. What: $1 off all liquor, most beer. Service industry Monday, half price food Tuesday, Texas booze Wednesday. When: 4pm-8pm Monday through Friday. Additional discounts all night Monday to Wednesday. Why: Because the vegan-friendly, bike-friendly Anvil is helping put Deep Ellum back on the map as an after-work pit stop. While many Dallasites are migrating toward Henderson or Uptown for a drinking fix, we'll still find a good excuse to head back to the old stomping grounds. In a hardwood, exposed brick interior, it's a pub that feels like a pub: a little gritty and never pretentious. Though the full bar is at our disposal, beer and scotch selections are where it's at, with an extensive menu featuring some harder to find favorites. (Try Spaten Optimator on tap.) Most days, a row of bicycles greets us at the door, parked in the rack up front. Though the working professionals usually make an appearance, most times the crowd is young to middle-age, sometimes a little sweaty from the ride over. With a daily dollar discount off all liquor, wine and most beers, along with half-price appetizers, that's reason enough for a visit. On top of that, Monday through Wednesday nights feature their own specials. Service industry Mondays draw a (duh) younger service industry crowd, who get a 20 percent discount off tabs. Tuesdays knock half price off the entire menu, and Wednesdays feature $2 Texas drafts and $4 Texas vodkas.

Buttery Roasted Chestnuts in Foil
2 pounds fresh unshelled chestnuts
2-3 sprigs rosemary
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons (or more) kosher salt
1 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
Method of Preparation:
1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place a large sheet of foil on a rimmed baking sheet. Place chestnuts, flat side down, on a work surface. Using a utility knife or a sharp paring knife, carefully cut through the shell on the rounded side of each chestnut to score an X. Soak in a bowl of hot water for 1 minute (this helps them steam while roasting).
2.Drain chestnuts and pat dry; place in a medium bowl. Add rosemary, butter, 2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg.
Season with pepper and toss to thoroughly coat. Arrange chestnuts in a single layer in center of foil (a few might overlap) and gather up edges of foil around chestnuts, leaving a large opening on top.
3.Roast until the peel begins to curl up and chestnuts are cooked through, 30-45 minutes, depending on size and age of nuts.
4.Transfer chestnuts to a platter, using a spatula to scrape in any butter and spices with them, and toss to coat. Season with more salt, if desired. Serve hot or warm.

Two recent articles outline potential dangers to mens fertility from environmental causes.
In a study performed on mice reported in Science Daily, daily exposure to a chemical that is prevalent in the human environment, bisphenol A (BPA), causes lowered fertility in male mice.
Mice that received daily BPA injections for two months had lower sperm counts and testosterone levels than those of mice that received saline injections without BPA. Compared with untreated controls, mice exposed to BPA produced litters that were 50 percent smaller.
"We are being exposed to BPA in our daily lives at a level much higher than the safe recommended exposure," said the study's principal author, Surya Singh, PhD, associate professor in the university's biochemistry department. "In this study, we are trying to explore what the outcome can be if we are continuously exposed to BPA in our routine life." BPA-exposed mice received a dose that was twice the daily upper limit of safe exposure recommended by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.
These new research findings add to a growing body of scientific evidence that links exposure to BPA, an endocrine (hormone) disrupter, with numerous adverse health effects, including on reproductive function. Human exposure to BPA comes from sources such as epoxy resin-lined food cans and hard polycarbonate plastics, which leach the chemical, especially when heated to high temperatures.

Binks: Spray Finishing Pump
April 12, 2004
Binks has introduced its next generation in spray finishing pump technology -- the Pogo Plus. The new pump builds on the company's original drum transfer Pogo pump to offer unparalleled reliability features. The Pogo Plus pump incorporates several new features designed to ensure continuous high-volume delivery of low to medium viscosity coatings and adhesives. New features include a 2-in. air motor with "unbalanced valve" design for virtually unstallable operation, a contained leak path that prevents material build-up on the drum, an upper ball check for more reliable transfer than flat check, an improved energized upper "U" cup that provides longer life with less leakage, and a divorced design for easy maintenance and prevention of material migration into the motor.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello again, thank you very much for requesting me again.An appearance is not a pleading--a pleading is some sort of a written declaration before the court pertaining to your case, such as a complaint. An appearance can be used to change a pleading but it is not itself a pleading. So no, an appearance is not a pleading.Hope that clarifies.
I have to know where can I learn this stuff, so I don't need to keep asking simple, dumb questions if you don't mind?
Google is definitely not the answer.
This isn't a dumb question, it is unfortunately one of those things that you learn with experience. A 'pleading' is a formal statement--formal means that it is in writing. If someone is physically appearing, then it isn't being done in writing any longer. It may be a formal hearing based on a pleading, but an appearance itself is not a pleading. This is why we are here, some of the things you can learn online is valuable and useful, but without putting it into context, it may be hard to use. You can do online searches for statutes, the bar association's disciplinary board and the "rules of professional conduct" in your state. But at times it is hard to know where to find what you are seeking because it is hard to explain what you are really looking for.Good luck.

Washington, D.C.— Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued the following statement after the Senate defeated a Republican amendment to impose an artificial timeline on the Keystone XL pipeline project:
"Today the Senate voted against Republicans' attempt to impose an artificial timeline and short-circuit the process needed to plan the best route for the Keystone XL pipeline. If Republicans truly want to move ahead with this pipeline, they should stop treating it like a political football.
"Half of the pipeline is already being built, and the company building the pipeline is submitting another application for the remainder of the route. This process should be given time to work, and be governed by what will produce the best result – not by Republicans' desire to appease the Tea Party or big oil companies."

Aurora Host Extensions wanted!
Well, I killed a microboost driver when trying to assemble my host together. Somehow it got stuck, bent the leads on my diode, shorted the driver and now I have a $30 bill compressed into 2cm^2 that I cannot repair or get back...
I ended up making a lm317 driver because I do not have any paypal money for a nice driver at the moment. I fit it into the host as compact as it could possibly go. It still wouldn't fit! I couldn't push my heatsink with diode in the last millimeter without it hitting and shorting. Thankfully, I have two aurora hosts, and I found out you could take the part under the crown, and screw it to the one on my other host, so I have two of them doubled up and it now all fits together. The problem is, I cannot use my other host now as it is physically impossible to fit anything. (maybe not impossible but...)
I am wondering, if anybody can lathe up a bunch of these pieces. I know many people have the aurora host, so they have an exact model of what to make. I want the part that is under the crown, and above the host itself. The part the heatsink and diode sit into.
In the pictures below, The silver piece is the part I added onto the black host, and removed off my silver host. Again, I would like to know if anybody can lathe up some of them pieces for me, so I can use them for future builds that will not be using a nice compact driver. And how much do you think yo could make them for? I do not imagine them being very expensive. I have a few bucks in paypal, just not enough to be blowing on a driver. Let me know if you can make them, about what the cost would be each, and I will let yo know how many I would like, and we go from there.
I kinda like my "modded" host looking big like that in a way

Re: Aurora Host Extensions wanted!
Thanks, a reply! Yes, doubling them things up is a good idea for long modules, or big drivers that wont fit with one. I will ask around a bit.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 4 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Sell."
American Midstream PartnersDividend Yield: 8.70% American Midstream Partners (NYSE: AMID) shares currently have a dividend yield of 8.70%. American Midstream Partners, LP engages in gathering, treating, processing, and transporting natural gas in the Gulf Coast and Southeast regions of the United States. The average volume for American Midstream Partners has been 33,800 shares per day over the past 30 days. American Midstream Partners has a market cap of $92.6 million and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 46.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates American Midstream Partners as a sell. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its unimpressive growth in net income, generally high debt management risk, poor profit margins, weak operating cash flow and generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 3982.6% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $0.16 million to -$6.25 million.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.60 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated. Along with this, the company manages to maintain a quick ratio of 0.12, which clearly demonstrates the inability to cover short-term cash needs.
- The gross profit margin for AMERICAN MIDSTREAM PRTNRS LP is currently extremely low, coming in at 3.10%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of -10.33% is significantly below that of the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $1.87 million or 43.83% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- The share price of AMERICAN MIDSTREAM PRTNRS LP has not done very well: it is down 7.35% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
