The Buccaneers are hosting free agent tight end Visanthe Shiancoe on Tuesday, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported.
The Buccaneers currently have six tight ends on the roster, with Luke Stocker, Tom Crabtree, Nate Byham and ex-Jaguar Zach Miller among the options at the position. However, they could stand to add a little more depth. Dallas Clark, the Buccaneers' top pass-catching tight end in 2012, is an unrestricted free agent.

Due to my lack of research when we went to Kota Kinabalu, I didn't have time to find a good hostel for us. It was a good thing that Yancy, Renz's friend had already booked Borneo Backpackers Beach House Hostel, located near the beach for us. While the hostel wasn't in the city center, it was a good alternative for us, especially because we were arriving pretty late at night.
But the next day, we all decided to head to the city center where most of the action takes place. Despite the number of choices we had – heck we had a whole street of backpacker hostels! – we chose the one which was recommended to us by Josh Uy.
After getting down somewhere in Wisma Merdeka, we walked straight into the streets, until we reached Jalan Gaya. From there, we followed the map until we reached a crossing. I was the first to see it.
From afar, Sensi Backpackers Hostel looked like a small boutique. Its sign was huge and yellow, but I didn't doubt its cleanliness – not even once. And especially when we got to its door.
Unlike other hostels, Sensi Backpackers Hostel is locked by a special type of machine, so if you want to go in, you have to be opened by someone inside or you need to know the code in order to get in. Very high tech for a hostel, right?
Once inside, we were greeted by the hostel managers, who were all Filipinos as well. It's very welcoming to see someone from your country in a different country. The hostel was very charming, very clean and we couldn't even bring our shoes upstairs. They had a footwear cabinet where the guests can leave their shoes.
The hostel had about 5 rooms I think. I'm not sure about the other two rooms, but I'm pretty sure one of the rooms have dorm beds for 6 people, one has dorm beds for 4 people while another room has a double bed. They had separate bathrooms, one for the ladies and another for gents. Each bathroom had two showers and two toilets. They even had a place where you can hang your wet clothes. Very convenient. Not only that, they also provided free towel, shampoo, toothpaste, soap and even female wash. Complete bathroom requirements.
We stayed at the 6-person dorm room for only RM 30 a night. The beds had white sheets, with thick foams, very comfortable for a hostel. The dorm room was also air conditioned, especially at night. The hostel provided everything – from extensions to adapters, blankets, sockets, tables, the dorm even had lockers for each guest. The room had a very homey and comfortable feel to it. One where you wouldn't feel awkward staying in with a bunch of people you never knew.
Best of all, however was the common room. Inside the common room was a big television, a huge table with a basket of fruits, a refrigerator, water dispenser, a cupboard for all the utensils and plates, and a toaster. We also had free, unlimited coffee and tea too.
The ambiance inside the hostel was also very accommodating. They had gorgeous paintings, a soft cream paint and mirrors that make the hostel look a little bigger. Despite its small size, there's definitely something cozy about the place.
Ooh, and not to forget, they also have Wi-Fi access. Personally, I thought that it was faster if you accessed the Internet from the common room.
Conveniently, Sensi Backpackers Hostel is located in the middle of Jalan Gaya. If you go right from there, you'll reach the Jesselton Port within 5 minutes of walking. If you turn left, you'll reach Beach Street, the City Hall and Justice Court and the bus stop to Brunei within a few minutes too.
Maybe I haven't had enough experience with hostels. And compared to the one I stayed in Kuala Lumpur, this was definitely an upgrade.
Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay in this very homey, very comfortable place to stay in Kota Kinabalu.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been a controversial figure in the immigration politics debate for some time now, flaunting his hard-line approach to immigration enforcement in a way that rallies fellow hard-liners and engenders his reputation as arch-demon on the left.
Despite the splash of attention from the newest lawsuit, the Justice Department's investigation of Arpaio could end badly for Holder. When the Department first informed Arpaio that a probe was under way, back in March 2009, it sent a letter saying the investigation would focus on "alleged patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures." But now we learn that just six months before that, in September 2008, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE, did its own investigation of Arpaio's office -- and gave it a clean bill of health. Arpaio's lawyers recently got a copy of the ICE report through the Freedom of Information Act.

On Friday, reenactor soldiers took over the Dog Island Park section of the Samuel Ayers Park to make history come to life for about 400 students, taking them back to the Civil War.
In it's ninth year, the event is a part of the Civil War Days, Melee at Dog Island Park put on by the Reenactors of the American Civil War, many of which come from Tehama County, Red Bluff resident Rick Barram said.
Barram, who plays First Sergeant Horatio Biddle of the 72nd New York Volunteer Infantry, said the group wants to make history more than just a black and white photograph for students.
"It's an outlet for people who like dressing up and like history to share that knowledge with the public and we decided to take it one step further," Barram said. "We figured we were going to be here for the weekend, why not give a learning experience that's outside the book and classroom. Being a teacher, this is a lot of fun."
When the group first decided to put on the event, Barram was working at Vista Middle School, where he was a vice principal for half of a year and he wanted a way to bring history to the students, thus the education day was born, he said.
"We get to teach a lot of minutia that they don't have in the classroom," Barram said. "A lot of students have no idea a riffle weighs nine pounds."
Students rotated through 12 stations with a cannon shot off with a blank every 15 minutes at the end of each section.
While the group targets eighth graders since that is when the Civil War is taught, charter schools were welcome to bring other grades along and 11th graders who study United States History were also welcome, Barram said.
Groups interested in participating can contact him by e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Several Mercy High School students participated in the event as docents, both among civilians and soldiers.
"Our students are here as an opportunity for community service hours that are required for graduation," Principal Paul Weber said. "It's a fun way that's community based, working with younger students and it's educational.
It hits everything and it's good for both Mercy students, the reenactors and the community."
At one station students learned about the life of civilians and refugees of the Civil War from fashions of the day to what life was like for them.
One student from each group had the chance to try on a Civil War uniform, made of wool, a highly flammable material, according to presenters.
Both Confederate and Union soldiers were represented in the day with Ken Janson, who portrays a soldier attached to Hardaway's battery, a group from Alabama.
Janson and his fellow musicians, including one on a fiddle and one playing spoons, showed off various versions both "Yankee" and Confederate and a verse involving Mary had a lamb of the song "Battle Cry of Freedom."
"It was a mega hit in those days, which meant people would buy the sheet music and learn to play it," Janson said.
"They didn't just download it. Everyone knew it and liked it."
Explaining that bonnie in the song meant pretty, Janson then elaborated on the bonnie blue flag, which represented a state's right to break away from the United States, he said.
At another rotation, Lt. Henry Martin, also representing the Confederate soldiers, talked about the stand of arms, a stack of guns together.
During the Civil War, many firearms including a 1816 flintlock that was obsolete at the time the outbreak of the war, were brought into use by the end.
The flintlock, which used a spark to set off the flash pan to set off the load in the weapon was unreliable and a person could do everything right and still misfire, he said.
"If it rained, you might as well go home, but due to the dire necessity for weapons they were used in the Civil War," Martin said.
Newer models, as early as 1842, had percussion plates instead of flint locks and a much better range, which led to a shift from Napoleonic style warfare of lining up and facing off to a trench warfare style, he said.
Bayonets, more awkward to use if up close than the butt of the gun, were more frequently used as tent pegs and holders, Martin said.
The 13th New York Artillery talked about types of weapons with Barry Zanni, portraying Cpl. Herkimer, talking about the process of loading one.
Depending on the cannon, there was the 3-inch ordinance rifle, the 4-inch 12-pound Napoleon and the 3-inch Parrot.
The Parrot was so named for the metal piece at the end with a ring of steel to help protect the crew, Zanni said.
The cannons had the extra piece because they had been cast too quickly and were more likely to explode without the extra piece, he said.
The 3-inch ordinance was one of the mainstays on the battlefield, but the Napoleon, which carried 26 or 27 steel balls inside of it, was the "queen of the battlefield".
"It was a big gun and could do lots of damage," Zanni said.
Shots, shells and canisters were the types of ammunition with a shot being a solid steel projectile that could be used against bricks, wood, fortresses or even iron ships, he said.
The shells were round, hollow steel filled with gun powder that a fuse was cut and placed into, Zanni said. The canisters were those that carried the steel balls sent into the incoming enemy infantry if they got too close, he said.
The steel balls could go between 150 to 300 yards and take out an area 16 people across and two ranks deep, Zanni said.
A crew was needed of about 40 people, with five people and an officer to operate it and the rest in support. It took six horses to pull it with two extra horses to guide the six horses.
Don La Porta, playing a major in the U.S. Army, talked more about the specific types of ammunition and a bit about life of people in that era.
When soldiers marched into combat they stood pretty much shoulder to shoulder and were usually with other men from there community.
A 14-year-old was old enough to join the U.S. Army, while 13 was old enough to have been a Confederate soldier, he said.
Most people were farmers and rarely went more than 10 miles from home, he said.
It took about three to five wagons of ammunition to supply the artillery.
La Porta also talked a bit about Robert E. Lee who was from Virginia and said he was offered control of the Union Army, but declined it after his native state seceded, not wanting to fight against them.
Lee, who was married to a granddaughter of George Washington, lost his family farm, which later became Arlington Cemetery as a result of a ruling that property taxes must be paid in person, La Porta said.
Both Confederate and Union soldiers were buried in Arlington and for the first year, as an insult, Confederates were buried face down because they were going to hell and Union soldiers face up because they were going to heaven, he said.
Craig Poundstone gave a talk on the Henry rifle, which was later bought and modified by Winchester and had 14,000 of them made in a 3-year period, he said.
Galen Scott talked about the Gatling Battery Gun, the predecessor to the modern day machine gun, of which 12 of them were purchased by the U.S. Army at the cost of $1,000.
That would be equivalent to $1 million today, he said.
Mark Baird, who plays Trooper Mud Duck, talked about life in the calvary.
The group was originally called the Dragoons prior to 1859 and were used to guard wagon trains and get messages back and forth, he said.
Initially the color of the horse denoted which company one was with - black was for Company A, gray for Company B and brown for Company C.
Most members of the calvary carried everything they needed on the horse and tents were only available when they were with a wagon train, Baird said.
Because of the difficulty in reloading, many members carried multiple pistols with them, he said.
A 44 Colt Dragoon Revolver was powerful enough that if someone got shot in the wrist it would crack the bone all the way to the elbow, Baird said.
A sword was kept handy for when a calvary soldier ran out of ammunition, he said.
"You fought until you were dead or the battle was over," Baird said.
Lastly, students visited David Vixe who played a freighter, but with his appearance being similar to Abraham Lincoln also gave a presentation of the Gettysburg Address.
Berrendos Middle School Teacher Joe Barrios said he loves the program.
"It's the greatest connection there is to what you learn in the classroom and what history really is," Barrios said. "It really just brings history to life in a tangible way. There's no way the students would sit in class for two hours and have gotten all of this."
The reenactors will be continuing their reenactment from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Battles are noon and 3 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday.
Cost is $5 for adults, $1 children 10 and under. A free shuttle service from the southwest corner of the Home Depot parking lot, 2650 N. Main St., is provided as there is no parking, aside from handicap parking, at Dog Island.
Food will be sold by the Kiwanis Club.

Portsmouth is gearing up for national bike week with a host of events designed to get people pedalling.
Hundreds of commuters will be taking to their bikes wearing red T-shirts, and the week will climax with the launch of a new cycle route celebrating famous city people.
The highlight will be Bike2Work day next Tuesday when commuters all over the city will be cycling to work and taking part in events in Guildhall Square.
Passers-by will be able to try out bikes for free and find out how to carry children and shopping, use the free bike-check service, get their bike security-marked, get road safety advice and meet members of Portsmouth's Cycle Forum.
Cllr Lynne Stagg, in charge of traffic and transport, said: 'Cycling gets you fit and saves you money, and you can get to most places by bike.
'Portsmouth is mostly flat – nothing is further than about four miles away, and there are plenty of cycle routes, quieter roads and cycle parking.'
Other events during the week include a ride exploring Portsmouth's quieter cycle routes on Wednesday.
Schoolchildren will test their cycle skills on Thursday and Friends of the Earth have organised a ride on Friday. Contact Annette Rebentisch on 07729 296658 for details.
Sunday will see the launch of the famous figures ride. Meet 10am at the visitor information centre at The Hard.

USF Bulls
Bulls now can only sit and wait
There were many things to second-guess about the final, frantic seconds of regulation on Thursday night, when the University of South Florida lost control of its Big East Conference tournament quarterfinal against No. 23 Notre Dame. The Bulls eventually lost 57-53 in overtime at Madison Square Garden in New York. But none were bigger than Jawanza Poland's uncontested missed layup with about 33 seconds to play. It would have given USF a three-point lead. Afterward, Poland didn't make excuses and said he should have converted the basket. "I guess you could say it slipped," Poland told reporters. "I had a wide-open layup. I should have made it, but I didn't."USF (20-13) also missed its opportunity to likely nail down an at-large spot in the NCAA tournament, where the Bulls haven't played since 1992. The Bulls still have a good chance to make the 68-team field — ESPN's Joe Lunardi and CBSSports.com's Jerry Palm kept USF safely in their bracket projections before conference tournament play resumed Friday — but there might be some nervous and sleepless times until the NCAA pairings are announced on Sunday at 6 p.m. If the Bulls don't make the NCAA field and are relegated to the National Invitation Tournament, they might be haunted by three game-altering sequences at the end of regulation against Notre Dame. "We just didn't finish plays and we turned the ball over a little bit," Rudd said. "Poland should have finished that layup," USF coach Stan Heath said. "He's point-blank, all by himself. He makes it, game is over, it's done. He's normally a highlight reel, and he normally dunks it and the fans go crazy on plays like that. I don't know if he didn't have his footing or was so focused on catching the ball he didn't have sight of the rim. He has been a guy who has made huge plays for us." Poland recovered his miss and was fouled with 30.4 seconds remaining. His one-and-one attempt went in and out — back iron, front iron, then glass, boom-boom-boom, in pinball fashion — and USF still led by one, 45-44. Poland said he had put the missed layup out of his head, but he "just missed the free throw. It's hard. I could've put my team up with (30.4) seconds to go." With Notre Dame scrambling downcourt on a long outlet pass, Poland fouled Connaughton with 26.1 seconds remaining. Connaughton made the first of two free-throw attempts, tying the game at 45 and giving USF one final chance to win it in regulation. Heath said Collins probably was bothered by a finger injury, which briefly sidelined him during the second half. "I think it affected him big-time," Heath said. "It looked bad. The finger was really disjointed. I don't know if they popped it back or what they did, but they taped it up. ... I think he was a little bit worried about how he can handle the ball with his fingers bothering him." Heath said he remains confident about USF's NCAA chances. The Bulls were 12-6 during the Big East's regular season. There have been 69 teams with at least 12 regular-season conference victories during the Big East's history. All 69 have received NCAA bids (although 38 of them occurred during the era when the Big East played just 16 regular-season games, further enhancing the 12-victory standard). "I'll be honest, I won't sleep," Heath said. "You want to hear your name called Sunday at 6 o'clock. I think we've done a great job by putting ourselves in a great position. I think our team is worthy. "But there are some people (on the NCAA Selection Committee) that have a lot of information that make wise decisions. We'll let our case rest with them."

what is the reason african safaris charge you for what you kill?
I was just looking at the "trophy case" on the browning website and i seen some interesting animals, and the location said SA (South Africa) so i went and looked at some safari packages and they charge you per animal you wound or kill. does anyone know why?
I suppose it is because they can.
I believe a lot of the hunts take place on land that has animals on it. Like really large farms.
It would stand to reason if you're bringing someone halfway around the world to shoot a tiger or a giraffe ( for whatever god damn reason ) you probably should have access to them.
As such, I would imagine the extra money pays for taxes, pays for maintenence, upkeep, feed, and etc.....
Never saw the use of traveling halfway around the world to be driven to a point within a couple hundred feet of an animal that could never find your address, and blasting a big friggin hole it in just to pose it with a picture of you and your rifle....
But, hey. To each their own.....
When I was at the range the other day, there was a guy sighting in his rifles to an Africa hunt. I don't remember where he was going, but there were like 7 different animals he was going after and it was going to cost him over $10k. I'm gonna have to agree with JD on this one. I don't see the point in it.
I hunt, but I have never been a trophy hunter. The ranches that hold the hunts for trophies also take care of the field dressing, skinning, butchering and sometimes the taxedermy. There are plenty of people with enough money willing to pay for these kind of hunts. Is the same everywhere, including the US and Canada.
There is a ranch close to me that brings in exotic animals and charges a different price for each animal. That is not hunting, that is just plain ol' killing. They make a profit and have been around for many years, so that says something right there.
In some cases there are different license fees for different animals. Just as here in the states there is one license fee for small game, and an additional fee for deer-bear-turkey.
As far as why- I am still trying to come to grips with folks that would eat anything other than Boston Cream Pie for desert- but some folks like other things.
I have a BIL that has lived in South Africa for 40 years, and have an invite to go visit, and maybe do some hunting- but the airplane ride is a bit much. Time AND price!
i could understand that to a point but not at the fee that is on these animals heads. you can fly over there for whatever, stay a week in a little hut on the hunting plantation that is at $55 per night, but if you shoot an ostrich it will cost you $920.....and that sadly is one of the cheapest trophy prices. I could understand if that was taxidermy included but that is another fee on top of that.
then, after you hunt for the week, as your leaving the plantation, you have the option of buying a dvd of your hunt........sounds good right? well, if you're reading this you might want to sit down and brace yourself. if you want, you can buy a DVD of your hunt for $500 USD.
I can see that now, at the end of the hunt, they say "sir would you be interested in buying a DVD of your hunt?"
"yea sure, let me run outside and see if I cant find someone to sell my soul too first."
Two friends of mine got back in July, from a one week hunt in SA. One of the guys goes every two years. From what I am told , it goes this way; three or four( I forgot which), animals are in the original price( Gemsbok, Kudu, Springbok, etc), ANY blood drawn is a kill as far as price goes. Dangerous game has a premium price because a PH has to be there and insure clean kill/client safety. Any animal not included in the original cost is extra.
One of my friends wounded a Zebra and had to pay full price for the animal. He later got another Zebra, but had to pay for an extra animal.
Kinda goes like, if you can't pay, don't play.
Maybe Patrick Sperry will weigh in, I think he used to guide.
You really ought to give "Death In The Long Grass" a read even if you're not a hunter. He11 even my mother couldn't put it down.
Excerpt from Ch.1
On the dirt floor beside the tent's walls, a watery moonbeam glows on the scratched white stencil of a footlocker: Peter Hankin, Box 72, Chipata.
Inside the travel dented locker lie three flat five-packs of Kynoch 300-grain soft-point cartridges for the battered, silver worn, old-rifle, a Cogswell and Harrison, .375 Holland and Holland Magnum in caliber. But the rifle, as bush-scarred as the face of its owner, is not leaning in its usual place beside the bed.
Operating in a photographic safari area, profesional hunter Peter Hankin has had to leave it at his hunting camp, Chitangulu, forty miles downstream. His friends will later decide that even if he had the rifle now, he would still have less than one minute to live.
---Death In The Long Grass-- Peter H. Capstick
The trophy fees pay for game management just like here in the states we buy hunting licenses & tags. I see nothing wrong with "old fashioned style" eating dust while walking miles upon miles in order to find an animal to stalk close to, then put down cleanly at close range. In fact,if I ever hit the lotto I'm going dangerous game hunting-health (mobility) permitting. It's the trophy fees that provide for these animals' habitat. If not for the safari, the land would all be taken up by farmers & ranchers, and poaching would again become rampant. All this not to mention of the employment by the professional hunters of the natives and the fact that all the meat gets given to the natives (in the case of elephant).
If you draw blood on an animal they have to assume that animal is going to have a fatal wound, and take that into consideration of the number of animal population in that hunting concession. That's plain ol game management. I'm sure Patrick Sperry will be able to enlighten us a LOT more than I.

I do not normally use eyeshadow myself but I was given this mousse in 2 colours, a light blue and a light green one (sorry I cannot remember the exact name of them now) by my friend who is an Avon representative. She was convinced I would like the products and she probably thought I would spend more on make-up products if I tried these. Well, to be honest the exact opposit happened, it just put m eoff completely and I have not been using eyeshadow ever since. It was really difficult to apply it even though Avon claims it is so smooth and easy to apply. I actually hurt my eyeballs because I had to press it on so hard to get any colour out of it. It is also too sticky and did not feel comfortable to wear as a result. Then of course it was even harder to take it off. I tried it again the next day and it wasnt any easier. Also when I did it the second time, the inside of it (the actual `crayon bit`fell out. I robably broke it off buy trying to apply it. So all in all it was very disappointing and I just cant be bothered with products like that. Nowadays you can expect a make up product to be easy and quick to apply and this is certainly not the case with this eyeshadow. In the end I gave them back to my friend.
I do not normally buy eyeliners as I use the glimmerstick eyeliner from Avon but I wanted to try the product. Only I wish I didnt. I dont have sensitive eyes but for some reason this one did irritate my eyes so much that I ended up looking like I was crying and it all started off when I yarned. I did not rub my eyes or anything but yarned and had watery eyes because I yarned and after that for about 10 min I could not stop my tears coming down my face. It was quite horrible. Otherwise the product was good as it was easy to apply, the packaging is neat and smallish. Mine was in black and my eyes looked great with such intensive, dark colour. I tried using it again but the same thing happened and I ended up binning it. But my friend told me hers dried up very quickly so I am not sure if it is a product that I would ever suggest to any of my close friends.
I have been using the Glimmersticks Brow Definer in blonde for about 2 years now. At first I only bought it because it was on special offer. I have light brown eyebrows, much lighter than my actual hair colour, so without the help of a brow definer I look very different and I kind of dont get out of the house without it. So when I first bought this product I did not expect anything different from the pencil I used previous to that. But it was really different. The thing is, with the pencil I always found that it makes it look obvious that I use something on my eyebrows as doesnt matter how gently I apply it, it always looks very strong and I have to smudge it to look natural. But with this glimmerstick one I dont have that problem. I absolutely love the colour of it as it matches with my natural colour, and it nicely fills any gaps too. I always buy lots when they are on special offer as they dont last me very long, probably 2 months each. I tried many other similar products but so far this has been far the best for me. And just one last thing. I often forget about wearing it and end up rubbing my brows but it does not make a difference, it seems to stay in place. Wonderful product!!!
I always sweat more than others and never found a product to control this. I tried everything before I came across this product. Of course non of them worked. Therefore I never wanted to wear any tight fitting tops and preferred to wear loose T-shirts etc. Then I saw this in a magazin where there were people telling their experiences on this product and I thought, OK, I will give it a go. And I was amazed at how well it worked. It is abot £6 to buy but it lasts about a year. I do not use it every day as it is enough if I do every other night and wash off in the morning, when I use my normal roll on. My armpits are always so dry (I mean not sweaty) that I dont worry about what clothes to wear!! Do only downside for me is that if i apply too much, I get itchy on the armpits so I dont use a lot in one go.
I had a Ford Ka a few years ago as my very first car and I loved it at the time. It hasnt got much boot space but I didnt mind as I used it on my own. Its a small car so parking was always easy with it but fuel consumption isnt very good. Tax is not expensive and it is definetly a girlie car. I would buy it again as there are some really cute ones nowadays. It is also quite a sturdy, strong car with the bumpers so its something to consider if you just passed your test. I had someone reversing into my Ford Ka when I just sat back into it in a supermarket car park and I thought the damage would be obvious but you could not tell looking at my car. Poor fella that banged into my car had it worse than me.
I have got a 3 door version of this car and I absolutely love it. It is cheap to run as very good on the fuel consupmtion side and also the tax is only £25 per year! You cannot beat that. It is easy to manouver, easy to park. Looks great inside as well. I have a one with airconditioning and it only causes a problem if I go really fast on the motorway uphill. That is when I can really notice if the aircon is on, as the engine is so small. Otherwise, no problem. The boot is small but if its just the 2 of you in the car and you are going away, you can create more boot space by pushing forward the back of the seats at the back. That way you can carry lots of suitcases and we even went abroad a few times with a lot of lagguages sitting in the back. So there are ways around it.
I bought this camera because I was fed up with our Cannon one which is a much bigger one in size and it was too difficult to carry it around. This one I can just put in my handbag and it`s ready to use any time. It is very light and slim. Mine is a red one and it`s a lovely colour. Overall very good and I am happy with the product but there is one downside. The button on the left next to the screen is difficult to press. So when I take a few photos and try to look at the ones before, I cannot go back to them as button is so small too. I love the big screen though and the menu is easy, I have taken some lovely photos with it. Very high quality pictures, also flash works much better on this one than on others I have tried.
My husband bought this TV a few months ago and this was probably his best buy ever. Before, we had a Humax telly which I never liked because its menu was difficult to handle. So he bought this one instead. I love LG as my parents have the very same one and I fell in love with it straight away. The munu is easy to understand, easy to use, the remote is the right size, the picture is absolutely beautiful, too. He bought it as a present to me so cant tell ow much or whether it is value for the money, but I definately would suggest it. I also use it when I go on Skype and because it is such a big screen it is lovely to see my family in almost full size on it. My laptop is constantly connected to this tv. Would recommend, very reliable

Have you ever noticed a disclaimer (in microscopic print) typically found at the bottom of a printed circular or a perhaps a statement in your local TV listings used as a Plan B opt out to the stated programming schedule? You know the ones – "prices shown are SUBJECT TO CHANGE" or "the stated programming schedule is SUBJECT TO CHANGE" perhaps due to local blackout rules or a crisis oriented news story. I love it when my favorite team might be playing and then all of a sudden on the channel that I want to watch the game, they are not!
Human nature likes to bank on the assumed, i.e., what is advertised. However, the chance does exist that what is assumed may not actually occur for reasons unbeknownst or out of control to us common folk. Typically, the reality of SUBJECT TO CHANGE coming to fruition brings with it a negative impulse such as a punch to the gut. What we counted on may not be what really occurs. Sort of like paying for purchases with a credit card with the intent to pay it off and subsequently not having the money to pay the bill when it arrives. It sucks and it can get you into trouble!
Perhaps you have taken the same route to work for the last gazillion years, then all of sudden a "DETOUR" sign shows up and you have to take a different route – good God, talk about a panic! Or maybe you have ingrained in you a certain way of doing things, like loading the dishwasher. Plates go here. Glasses go there. Fork, spoons, and knives are to be stored neatly in their special dividers. "After all, that's what those compartments are for", you think. How in the world can you conceive of not having everything in its place? It's almost a reason to down some Rolaids™. Really, who would want to color outside of those lines?
I like things that are predictable, in their place, and organized. I love my "systems"! Mix in a little deviation to the norm and disparate personalities (especially at home!) and watch what occurs. Perhaps it might be some given and take, a minor squabble, or the domestic version of WW3 – the choice is yours!
Have you ever entertained the thought that the appearance of a SUBJECT TO CHANGE in your life was meant for your good instead of the opposite? That perhaps a lesson could be learned, a new way of doing things acquired, or a different perspective obtained? How many times has the impact of SUBJECT TO CHANGE been a blessing rather than a curse? A detour in your travels that kept you from an accident? Bigger yet, have you ever considered an interpersonal interaction that could be fostered rather than alienated by considering another's point of view?
Trust me; these drums are beating in my head today! How about you – are you hearing the same beat?
Views: 48
Awesome! Sometimes that "subject to change" or detour is the only reason I take that step and make a change! I admit I truly am a creature of habit - I like routine and systems and things to run smoothly - but those times when I have run into a detour have almost always ended up being blessings.
Joanne and I joke about the many times in our lives where "Plan B" turned out to be better than "Plan A." We expect the changes and detours to open us up to things we would not have experienced otherwise.

A blood drive and fundraising effort are underway in Southern California to support two employees injured in an explosion at a Sport Chalet store.
The two employees, Victor Gonzales, 25, and Lauren Polzin, 27, were injured earlier this month while attempting to shut off a gas valve after a customer in the retailer's store in La Canada, Ca., reported smelling gas. Sport Chalet operates 54 stores in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.
"The company continues to support both families to aid in their recovery," said Craig Levra, chairman and CEO of Sport Chalet, said. "On behalf of Victor and Lauren, their families and the entire Sport Chalet team, we thank everyone for their overwhelming support."
The employees sustained second to third degree burns over 50% to 80% of their bodies, according to local authorities.
Sport Chalet is working with the local American Red Cross to host a blood drive at its corporate office on March 26. In addition, Sport Chalet has established two funds to further support the two injured employees at www.giveforward.com/Victor and www.giveforward.com/Lauren. Both websites are set-up to receive contributions directly from Sport Chalet employees, vendors, customers and friends. The retailer is also accepting gift cards from restaurants, grocery stores, and other retailers on behalf of the families.

WAITERS raised a glass to the reopening of an iconic restaurant following its £500,000 restoration.
Gee's restaurant, in Banbury Road, opened to customers on Monday after work to its Grade II listed-conservatory was completed.
The building – once home to one of the country's oldest garden centres – dates from 1897.
Oxford restaurateur and hotelier Jeremy Mogford, owner of Gee's, said: "There has been a complete restoration of the glass house including replacing the uprights, the leading and the ironwork – all of the listed features have now been restored.
"The roof area has also been restored and has been opened up in the bar area."
He added: "The restoration of the glass house and creation of a new interior and new menu has been some time in the planning but from the feedback that we received yesterday it has been worth the effort."
A new kitchen incorporates a wood-fired oven and a charcoal grill.
The building has been home to Gee's restaurant for the last 30 years.

Johnston choice for Ozarka president job
After months of searching,, Ozarka College has found its new leader.
The college's board of trustees unanimously voted to hire Dr. Dusty Johnston as president of the growing two-year college at a special meeting Nov. 22.
"We're excited and we think he is, too," said Karla Rush, acting president and director for advancement. "We think he will be a good fit."
Johnston is the dean of instruction at Rich Mountain Community College in Mena, Ark., a position he has held since July 1997.
"A goal of mine is to be the president of a community college," he said. "I prefer small schools and rural settings and Ozarka fits that exactly."
"I'm an inclusive leader and I hope to visit with faculty, students, the board and the community to set goals and a strategic plan," he said. "My job as president will be to get after it and make those things happen."
Johnston, a native of Shamrock, Texas, worked 15 years at Howard College in Big Spring, Texas, as a teacher and rodeo coach before being promoted to vice president of instruction.
He received his bachelor's of arts, master's of arts and doctorate of education from Texas Tech University.
The Ozarka search committee began advertising for the vacant president position in late August and accepted applications through Oct. 15, Rush said. He was chosen from a pool of 87 applicants from across the nation.
"There was a long list of things and characteristics that we were looking for," Rush said.
The list of qualifications and traits was formed by the search committee and the consultant, Carol Langston.
The qualifications the committee set for the president included a doctorate, five years in administration leadership, experience with a community college environment, experience in budgeting and familiarity with state and federal laws, Rush said.
"There were a lot of things we were looking for. We wanted to make sure we hired the best person we possibly could for the job," Rush said.
The committee narrowed the selection to nine, six from
Arkansas, and then decreased the pool even more to four candidates Nov. 15, Rush said. The college held a campus reception with the final candidates that week to give the public, students and staff an opportunity to visit with the candidates on a more personal basis, said Kim Whitten, public relations specialist.
Johnston and a candidate from Biloxi, Miss., were interviewed that day and the last interviews were held Nov. 22, with applicants from Little Rock and Mountain Home, Whitten said.
"If you had met them all, they were all wonderful," Whitten said. "They would have all done a great job, but the board felt that Dr. Johnston was the best fit overall."
Johnston has accepted the position and is slated to begin work Jan. 3, but no formal contract has been signed, Rush said.
"I feel certain we're going to reach something that is agreeable to everyone," she said.
The college has been without a permanent president since the board voted to fire longtime president Doug Rush in July. The board said Rush's contract was terminated because he failed to comply with state laws, was dishonest and insubordinate and didn't follow college policies after being warned.
Rush has since filed a lawsuit against the college, board members and the vice president of finance.
Rush is requesting a trial by jury on the claims. If judgment is awarded, he asks for preliminary injunctive relief and temporary and permanent restraining orders against all defendants and all costs and attorney's fees to be paid by the defendants. He asks for reinstatement to the position of president or full pay and restoration of benefits in lieu of his job.
Under the contract Rush was paid an annual salary of not less than $121,494, according to his contract signed May 27, 2004.

Sun coverage
The young witnesses called to the stand give the same story every time: Their blue bike is missing, and they saw a man wearing a purple suit take it.
That's the simple part.
Here's where it gets tricky. As the youngsters recount their story, they must understand words like testify, oath, bailiff, trial and defendant — vocabulary common on legal shows but rare on the playground.
They are participants of Kids' Court School, a 10-year-old program at UNLV's Boyd School of Law that recently earned an award from Harvard University.
"It's really important for kids to have a voice in court when there are proceedings pertaining to them," said Rebecca Nathanson, director of Kids' Court School. "This is a great program based on theory and empirical research that could really help decrease kids' anxiety and enhance their ability to testify."
Nathanson credits the program's nonbiased approach to its success. The program educates children — who might be crime victims, witnesses or even defendants — about the justice system without coaching them about their testimony, hence the pretend story about the stolen bike.
Students, ages 4 through 17, attend two sessions. During a classroom-style session, they learn the nuts-and-bolts vocabulary necessary to comprehend a legal proceeding. A week or so later, they return to review the material, learn methods to cope with anxiety and participate in a mock trial.
On a recent afternoon, law student Dawn Hathaway Thoman plucked a purple figurine from a small-scale, model courtroom sitting on a table next to two children.
"Who can tell me what this man's name is?" Thoman asked. "It starts with a D."
In unison, the boy and girl answered correctly — "The defendant!"
It's review time before they participate in a mock trial. They have learned courtroom vocabulary and have memorized their pretend story about the stolen bike. Later, law students posing as defense and prosecuting attorneys will question the children as witnesses.
Nathanson studied children's testimony as a research fellow at the UCLA School of Medicine in the early '90s, a time when the legal community frequently squirmed at the thought of using child witnesses.
"One thing we found was kids knew very little about the legal system," she said, referring to her research. "You ask kids, 'What's court?' and they say it's a place to play basketball."
After Nathanson found her way to UNLV, where she is a professor of educational psychology and law, she pitched her idea for Kids' Court School. The idea followed the theory guiding doctors to explain invasive medical procedures to children: The more the children understand the situation, the less anxiety they will endure.
Kids' Court School had its debut in 2002 and served six students that year, Nathanson said. Since then, more than 730 children have participated in the program.
Many child participants are the victims of some type of abuse, who will testify when the suspect goes on trial, Nathanson said.
The juvenile division of the Clark County District Attorney's Office, Legal Aid Center of Southern Nevada and certain judges frequently refer children to the program, Nathanson said.
The legal community has never challenged the program's integrity, she said.
"We enable kids to be able to testify better but, at the same time, protect the rights of the accused," Nathanson said.
That's why the children's case details are never discussed during the sessions.
On a recent Thursday afternoon, a 9-year-old boy wearing a Dallas Cowboys jersey slid into the witness stand at the Thomas & Mack Moot Courtroom. The mock trial room boasts all the bells and whistles of a real courtroom, including a gavel.
An "attorney" — one of several law students who volunteer to help run the program — stepped forward and began lobbing questions the boy's way:
"Why are we here?"
"Who do you think stole your bike?"
"You say you leave it in the same place every day?"
"Have you ever forgotten anything?"
"So isn't it possible you forgot where you put your bike?"
The boy, sometimes speaking quietly, answered every question and smiled when he finished.
His mother, Kristanne Pedersen, watched from nearby and praised the program afterward, calling it a confidence builder for children. Pedersen said her son witnessed a bullying incident in a local park and would be called to testify.
"The use of props is always important for kids, and this is a props-rich experience," she said. "This was a very nonthreatening experience."
The program's distinction as a Harvard Bright Ideas winner in October means the concept could be duplicated around the country and even the world, Nathanson said. She has received queries from as far away as Australia.
In the program's decade of existence in Las Vegas, Nathanson said it has survived by finding "creative" ways to stay afloat. The program receives no direct funding.
Still, no child has ever been turned away, she said.
"If we had money, there's so much more we could do," she said, citing research as an example.
Nathanson said she thought the legal community had adopted a more accepting view of child testimony in the wake of the program.
"Each and every kid has a story to tell and wants to tell their story," she said.
