Regardless of what people say about Selmer, or the like. No one makes a horn like ther Germans. I've been a Keilwerth player for quite a few years now and am fully convinced they make the best horns in the world. When I tried this horn, I was once again, blown away by the sound, projection, action, and intoneation of the horn. I promptly put my horn on ebay and bought one. The description is right on in saying that it's a similar sound to the regular SX90r, but with with more focus and punch. That's the exact word I used when I first played this horn - Punch!
Wow...I just purchased a Keilwerth Nickel Silver Tenor and it's amazing! Big ,deep,beautiful sound that really speaks! I played Selmers through the years and was quite happy, they're very nice horns. I can say though that Keilwerth are by far the best horns I've ever played. .I play on a Keilwerth Shadow Alto(nickel silver with black laquer) and it's also an amazing axe.These are very well made instruments with alot of soul and character to the sound Anyone who is serious about sound and a horn that will be with them for the rest of thier days look into a Kielwerth.You won't be disapointed!

I was just reading over my customer agreement for the heck of it, and I noticed something very curious in the following section:
Note the bolded, underlined section (2)(d). I guess Motorola's resistance to offer us an unlocked bootloader really IS due to carrier demands. I am surprised other manufacturers offer it, to be honest. With provisions like this directly in the contract, I am surprised they even got the GNex. With that phone, it would seem that VZW could cancel your service for using the device the way it is designed to be used; since it's technically a developer's phone.What Are Verizon Wireless' Rights to Limit or End Service or End this Agreement?
We can, without notice, limit, suspend or end your Service or any agreement with you for any good cause, including, but not limited to: (1) if you: (a) breach this agreement; (b) resell your Service; (c) use your Service for any illegal purpose, including use that violates trade and economic sanctions and prohibitions promulgated by any U.S. governmental agency; (d) install, deploy or use any regeneration equipment or similar mechanism (for example, a repeater) to originate, amplify, enhance, retransmit or regenerate an RF signal without our permission; (e) steal from or lie to us; or, if you're a Postpay customer, (f) do not pay your bill on time; (g) incur charges larger than a required deposit or billing limit, or materially in excess of your monthly access charges (even if we haven't yet billed the charges); (h) provide credit information we can't verify; or (i) are unable to pay us or go bankrupt; or (2) if you, any user of your device or any line of service on your account, or any account manager on your account: (a) threaten, harass, or use vulgar and/or inappropriate language toward our representatives; (b) interfere with our operations; (c) "spam," or engage in other abusive messaging or calling; (d) modify your device from its manufacturer's specifications; or (e) use your Service in a way that negatively affects our network or other customers. We can also temporarily limit your Service for any operational or governmental reason.
Also, if you'll notice section (1)(e), that's the part where they can get you for illegal tethering and also returning a device under false pretenses. Even if you THINK tethering SHOULD be included, it's not. So it's stealing.

WINDING THROUGH 600 ACRES of lush mountain terrain, The White Witch golf course at The Ritz-Carlton Golf & Spa Resort, Rose Hall, Jamaica, offers 6,718 yards of par-71 play. The course opened in August 2000 and brings Ritz-Carlton service to the fairways via its golf concierges. Fifty-five concierges are on call to serve as a sort of luxury caddie, performing all the traditional functions of a caddie in addition to booking restaurant reservations, making spa appointments for treatments such as the signature White Witch Foot Soak, and bringing important messages to players while they are on the course.

It has more than 1,000 accommodations and 65,000 square feet of meeting space, including the new $16 million Baytowne Conference Center. www.sandestin.com

Collins, a five-star recruit out of Geismar, La., played in all 14 games last season and recorded 17 tackles. He tied for the team lead with 10 special-teams tackles, including nine on kickoff coverage and one on punt coverage.
"Landon is an outstanding player," Tide coach Nick Saban said Thursday. "He's an outstanding special teams player. And as Landon learns and gets confident in what he does ... I think sometimes guys get a little frustrated that they don't learn fast enough, because they really want to be good, they put a lot of pressure on themselves to be good.
"And Landon's that way, which are all good qualities. Now, he probably is comfortable and confident in what he's supposed to do."
One of the biggest struggles for a young defensive back is learning the playbook, but Tide cornerback Deion Belue said Collins has it down.
"Landon's the type of guy that comes in day in and day out," Belue said. "The only thing you can expect from him is 110 percent because he's going to bring it every practice. He's looking really great out there. He knows his playbook backward and forward, so it looks really well."
Collins may get his chance to showcase those skills in 2013. He has worked at the "money" position, Alabama's sixth defensive back, when the Tide line up in its dime package. Collins also practices at safety with the second team.
"He has played really well, especially this fall camp," Saban said. "He's definitely going to have a role in dime situations for us this year and is in competition at safety as well. I think he's one of our best safeties as well."
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Vinnie Sunseri have worked as the first-team safeties, but Collins is on one or both of their heels.
"Landon's at the top of the peak right now," Clinton-Dix said earlier this month. "He's doing very well, run conflict, pass conflict, he can cover it. He's very physical. So he's doing a great job for us right now."
Collins is also competing with senior Nick Perry for snaps. Perry said Collins has become better in pass coverage, a necessary asset when defending spread offenses.
"Landon has really improved since his freshman year," Perry said. "Landon is a big hitter. He's fast. He's strong. He's really what you want at safety. He's your prototypical safety, and I really can't wait to see what he can do on the field this year."

Samsung Galaxy S3 review
We review the Samsung Galaxy S3, the Android device that is the successor to our 2011 phone of the year
The Galaxy S3 was always going to cause a stir. By releasing the best Android phone of 2011 in the form of the Galaxy S2 the bar was automatically set very high, which then caused what we now affectionately call iPhone 4 syndrome: the process of having incredibly unrealistic expectations.
As the launch was rumoured to be close, everyone went into overdrive with opinions on what we may see (us included, admittedly). And when we did finally get a glimpse of the Android 4.0-toting smartphone, one word came into our minds after months of Christmas-type excitement: plastic.
Samsung managed to outsell the iPhone 5 when it first launched, according to a survey on consumer comparison site uSwitch. 30 million units were sold in the first 30 days of the handset going on sale. Samsung conmmented:
'Samsung Electronics announced on the 4th that the global accumulated sales of Galaxy S III for the past 5 months surpassed 30 million from the supply side. The sales of Galaxy S III reached 10 million mark in 50 days, 20 million in 100 days, and finally 30 million in five months.
Simply put, one Galaxy S III was sold for every 0.45 seconds, and its daily sales stand at 190,000 units (for 157 days). Samsung Electronics once again claimed the clear leadership position in the smart phone market segment as Galaxy S III became yet another smash-hit with 30 million global sales record following in the footsteps of Galaxy S II.'
By August 2012, the Samsung Galaxy S3 was rumoured to have shipped ten million Samsung Galaxy S3s - an impressive number by any standards.
We know Samsung's build quality isn't the best but we struggled to hide a touch of disappointment at the South Korean firm knowing HTC had just released the One X – a beautiful piece of kit with aesthetics and quality working in harmony.
Fortunately, after a week with the device our main issue – how plasticky the device is – has faded away and we're now almost convinced that this could be one of the phones of the year. Quite a turn around indeed.
While the Galaxy S2 was no oil painting, its slim profile and big screen impressed us no end. While the Galaxy S3 is a bit fatter and has a bigger screen, the profile is still relatively slender, making it slide into your pocket with ease and fit comfortably in the hand.
Those of you with small hands may find it a bit unwieldy, and that's a valid argument. Not everyone wants such a large smartphone, but the combination of lightweight materials, smooth plastic and a slim waistline ensure the feeling of size isn't emphasised unnecessarily.
Our review sample came in white, which actually looks less cheap than the pebble blue ironically. Coated in Hyper Glaze, a swanky marketing term for the plastic used, the white hides finger smudges nicely although it does seem to attract fluff from clothing. It does look very smart, though, especially with the understated silver Samsung logo adorning the backplate.
A matt silver surrounds the device, with what little edging there is around the 4.8-inch screen. We actually had to check that number twice because the form-factor is incredible. Next to the Nokia Lumia 900 or the Motorola Razr Maxx, it looks about the same size but the display is much larger, which is an impressive feat.
Samsung has decided to keep a hardware home button, which makes it easier to locate if you aren't looking at your phone or it's dark. On the right is the back button, which lights up in bright white when pressed. On the left is a button for bringing up options.
The search button you get on some Android phones is gone, but a Google search bar on the home screen makes this a non-issue.
Sadly, there's no dedicated button for the camera, which is a shame given the quality of the camera, but the lack of extra buttons does add to the Galaxy S3's minimal appeal.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is available in a whole range of colours, including brown, black and silver, red on T-Mobile and even pink in Samsung's native Korea.
The Galaxy S2 was a powerhouse and the Galaxy S3 follows in the same footsteps. A quad core Exynos 4212 processor clocked at 1.4GHz ensures it's lightning quick. In fact, it's proven faster than the mighty Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, which was the current benchmark standard.
Suffice to say, no task will pose it a problem and games like Shadowgun looks an absolute treat. Frame rates remain high and constant, ensuring nothing detracts you from the action on-screen.
1GB of RAM and a number of storage options right up to 64GB ensures you have plenty of speed to back up the processor, and enough storage space for all your songs.
A Mali 400 GPU provides the aforementioned oomph in the visual department, and it proved more than capable for the job.
One negative of all this power is heat. Playing games does make the back of the device rather warm, but it's not unconformable. At worst, you might get sweaty palms.
A 4.8-inch display is certainly not small, but as we said the Galaxy S3 manages to house it exceptionally well. In typical Samsung style, you get Super AMOLED technology, which means colours are vibrant and everything has a warm colour about it.
For fans of colour remaining at less saturated levels, there are four modes you can choose from to adjust them. Dynamic proves to be as vivid in colour as you can get, and Movie at the other end of the scale makes things look more natural. Testing all four, we found the middle two options (standard and Natural) to be the easiest on the eye.
Thanks to a 720x1280 pixel display, the detail is superb. We're talking a pixel density of 306ppi (pixels per inch), which is incredible on a display of this size. Make no mistake, HD quality video looks fantastic and so do photos.
Shadowgun, Epic Astro Story and Muffin Knight look almost as enticing on the Galaxy S3 as they do on the fantastic Sony Xperia S Bravia screen.
In summary, the display is top-notch but some members of the team have commented it could be a little brighter and the clarity isn't quite up there with the Sony Xperia S's display.
Camera and video
Once again, the Galaxy S2 was excellent in the video and camera stakes. Samsung has maintained these elements in the Galaxy S3 with the inclusion of an 8-megapixel camera and 1080p video recording.
There's excellent reproduction of colour when filming in 1080p quality, and the autofocus adapts quickly to quickly moving objects. Over-exposure and bluriness seems to be avoided with relative ease, although a steady hand definitely rewards you with better results, like with any digital camera.
The digital zoom does work well but going in too close means you see quite a lot of pixels. Zooming is also jerky, making it a bit pointless if you are trying some advanced shots for a school project or whatever.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich skimps somewhat on the built-in camera features. You can edit shortcuts, exposure value, and adjust some of the effects but you'll need something like Instagram or Photo Editor (which you are prompted to download if you try editing any photos on the device) to add more advanced filters or crop images.
A burst shot mode allows you to rapidly take lots of photos in succession, helping you to get the best shot.
It's a bit hit and miss but you would expect that - it's a very subjective thing dealt with by a crude algorithm so the human eye is still the best judge. Even so, Best photo did seem to favour eye contact and smiling when of a person.
We are definitely impressed with Android 4.0's camera features because the layout is simple and easy to use, making it accessible, and thanks to the camera on the Galaxy S3, the results are really impressive.
Operating system
We were never averse to TouchWiz 4.0 found on the Galaxy S2 - it was actually much less cluttered than HTC's Sense equivalent at the time, but nowadays we favour a more simple approach. Thankfully, Android Ice Cream Sandwich is much simpler and easier to navigate, although you will want a dedicated file manager app like Solid Explorer if you plan on moving stuff around.
From the touch screen you can swipe to a shortcut directly, although it's not immediately obvious how this works. We kept trying to drag our finger onto the camera icon in a swipe, but actually you are meant to swipe from the camera icon upwards to access it (and this is the same for the other shortcuts: phone, ChatON and browser).
At the bottom of each home screen is a permanent row of buttons, which link you to (from left to right) phone, contacts, messaging, internet and the apps draw. You can put whatever you like here, which makes them perfect for your most used tasks.
Above them on the seven screens can be whatever you like. The middle page default is the Google search bar, a rather attractive weather and time widget and a few other shortcuts. It's simple, easy on the eye and as with all Android phones, you can change just about anything with something like Launcher Pro.
Samsung made it very clear at the Galaxy S3 unveiling that it focused on being a natural experience. While the watery unlock screen and the accompanying sound effect is refreshing, there's little else to show for it. This isn't a bad thing - we like Android 4.0 enough to want it left alone, so we commend Samsung for staying away for the most part.
That doesn't mean there is a total lack of Samsung additions. One of our favourites allows you to bring your phone to your ear to ring someone if you were just becoming fed up of texting them. Little additions such as this may not sound exciting but it's the sort of thing that makes sense and pleasantly surprises you when you realise it's there.
Smart Stay, another Samsung addition, is meant to keep the screen from dimming and then locking when you are looking at the Galaxy S3. A little eye indicator appears at the top to remind you it's working, which is handy because it seemed to ignore us.
We could close our eyes or have them open and the screen would remain bright. Other times, Smart Stay seemed to ignore us completely. Given the unreliability, it's definitely more gimmicky than it is useful, which is perhaps why the default setting is off.
S Voice provides ample proof Samsung likes to copy Apple. Or, at least, borrow ideas. Sadly, S Voice is even more useless than Siri, which we never found ourselves using. Asking to Google something like 'Ray Ban sunglasses' ended up in 'Radium sunglasses'. Accents seemed to prove even more challenging, rendering its use to nigh-on pointless. You can't even ask it for your appointments - at least, we couldn't.
The last big addition is window-in-window. This allows you to watch a video while looking at your home screen or browsing the web. Only locally stored videos can use the feature, so YouTube videos are out of the question. But if you need to multitask with video it may prove useful, and we hope it can be improved on at a later date to allow for having two tasks side by side, Windows 7/8 style.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is now upgradeable to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It's been a long time coming, with a few botched attempts in the past, but Android 4.3 is now avaliable. It's not the most up to date Android, considering 4.4 KitKat is out but it's a vast upgrade from the 4.2 it was running. So what comes with the upgrade?
Quite a bit as it goes:
- Support for the Galaxy Gear smartwatch
- A refreshed user interface
- Better microSD support
- Bluetooth low energy support
- Autocomplete feature on the dial pad
- Multi window enhancements
- Improvements to the photo sphere
- A load of bugs and fixes for various areas
@Android jellybean 4.3 is awful really not good makes my galaxy s3 so slow

General use
Apart from the size of the device, which will seem huge to ex-feature phone users and anyone who used to own an HTC Hero, the Galaxy S3 is easy to live with. Pockets - from a man's perspective, anyway - seem to accommodate it without any bother, and the device is strong enough to not feel like it's going to end up in bits. Apart from removing the flimsy back panel we had no damage, random lock-ups or other issues.
Android Jelly Bean has come on leaps and bounds, so we would definitely now recommend it to smartphone newbies as well as the tech-massive who love tinkering. And, of course, Google Play (formerly the Android Market) has an obscene amount of apps and games to enjoy, which means you will keep you occupied for the duration of your contract.
We did find the large screen was more prone to picking up reflections, especially when the sun comes out, and the smooth back panel is quite slippy, though. We also still secretly hoped for casing like on the HTC One X. You can't beat a bit of metal on a premium device.
Call quality was great and we experienced less signal drop-outs on our commute than we are used to. Depending on your network, you should find the Galaxy S3 capable in the actual phone department.
Unlike the quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processors, Samsung has managed to keep the Exynos nicely efficient. Even with lots of gaming, video and music we could manage a day of use easily, sometimes two if we were a bit more sparing. For a smartphone as powerful as the Galaxy S3, it's a big achievement to see a reassuringly good battery life.
So what's our overall verdict? Well, we don't want to give it back, which is exactly how we felt with the Galaxy S2. Once again, Samsung has proven itself as the king of Android kingdom and there's no doubt the Galaxy S3 will fly off the shelves, even if it's not quite as game-changing as its predecessor.
It's not quite perfect and we feel a lot of the Samsung-added functionality is a little gimmicky, plus more could have been made of the natural theme, but it really doesn't matter when the rest of the device works so well.
Wrapped up in Android 4.0 is possibly the world's most powerful smartphone, a bastion of smartphone design let down only by the use of plastic. Fitting a screen of that size in a device of that size was no easy feat, but it really does pay off.
The only real barrier is the price, and that's still the case if you want the device SIM-free, but with so many competitive contracts out there you are getting a whole lot of smartphone for around £31 a month, which is surprisingly cheap.
If you want the best of the best of Android, the Galaxy S3 should be in your list of possibilities alongside the Sony Xperia S, HTC One S and the One X. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
In August 2013, The American Customer Service Index discovered more Americans are happy with the Samsung Galaxy S3, even if it is an old model, in comparison to the much fresher iPohne 5. That certainly tells us something, doesn't it?
Samsung Galaxy S3 best prices
Getting a contract directly from Vodafone gets you the S3, but it's a little more costly. You can order now on a £29-a-month, two year contract will set you back an additional £49 for the device itself. For this you get 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 500MB of data.
Up your monthly cost to £33 and you get unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 1GBB of data, and the handset cost drops to free.
At £38 it's free for the Galaxy S3 handset. For that you get unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 2GB of data.
Bear in mind Vodafone gives you three months of unlimited data if you get any contract.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is available on O2's Refresh tariff, that allows you to pay for your phone and the tariff separately. You can pay £12 a month for 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 750MB data, £17 per month for unlimited minutes and texts with 1GB data or £22 per month for unlimited minutes, unlimited texts and 2GB data. The device will cost between £20 a month and nothing, if you're prepared to pay £600 upfront for the device, that is.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 4G is available from £29.99 a month on plans from £36 a month (although you'll only get 3G service). £36 per month will get you 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB data, £37 a month will get you unlimited minutes and 1GB internet, while £41 will get you 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB internet. Orange's tariffs are probably the most cmplicated around, so we suggest you take a careful look at the breakdown on Orange's site before committing.
Samsung Galaxy S3 review roundup
The rear is smooth and rounded, while the front, to be honest, looks like the Galaxy Nexus, if just a little larger. As previously mentioned, it's extremely light, but as the bezel is one of the thinnest Samsung has ever managed, the screen feels even bigger than its 4.8-inches.
If there's anything we were slightly down on it's that the back panel feels a little plasticky, especially when compared to other brands' flagship phones, such as the Panasonic Eluga dL1 or Nokia Lumia 900, but at least it keeps the weight down. This is not a handset to stroke longingly, this is a handset to use.
Tech Radar
Samsung's decision to focus on services and interaction as much as design will be the area that makes or breaks the Galaxy S3 – if they all work as intended, the rest of the competition will really have to work to catch up.
If the likes of Smart Stay or S Voice don't live up to expectations, this is still a cracking phone – it's the Samsung Galaxy Nexus on steroids and covered with Samsung's own overlay, which will divide opinion for Android lovers.
While the screen is huge, the phone doesn't feel big. It's slightly larger and thicker than the Galaxy S II, but still feels comfortable in my hands. At 4.7 ounces, it's 0.6 ounce heavier than the Galaxy S II and about 0.1 ounce heavier than the HTC One X. The S III is, however, thinner compared with the One X -- 0.3 inch versus 0.35 inch.
The Samsung Galaxy S III sticks to the same plastic build, only this time it comes in blue or white. While the handset felt solid, the plastic rear just doesn't give a good grip like the Galaxy Nexus, and it doesn't feel as durable as the polycarbonate finish of the One X.
The BBC Samsung's new quad core processor - much faster and more energy efficient - plays high-definition video without lag or shuddering, even when I played the video in a minimised window in the foreground and used other applications in the background.
Overall, the Galaxy S3 is an impressive phone, likely to capture an even larger marketshare than its S2 predecessor managed to carve out.

Fernandes Vortex Elite Electric Guitar - Snow WhiteItem #: MG.FER-VXE08SW

Electric Guitar. Collection: Vortex. Made by Fernandes. (MG.FER-VXE08SW)
Free Shipping on this item, and most items in same order also ship free
In Stock
Found in: Electric Guitars - 6-String
Vortex Elite Electric Guitar
Fernandes' classic and legendary V-shape has returned by popular "metal" demand. Re-designed and revamped features alder body, finish-matching Maple Maple neck and set-thru construction with extended access to the high registers of the 24-fret Ebony fingerboard, Abalone binding diamond-shape inlays and FRT-11 locking tremolo system, the Vortex Elite brings the power to the lead guitar player. Comes equipped with the one and only EMG 81 active humbucker for full metal attack, Fernandes Sustainer, die-cast tuners and ultra-comfortable body shape.
The Vortex Elite features the Fernandes Sustainer® bringing the power of infinite sustain at an affordable price. Since the 1960's, electric guitar players have been searching for an effective way to control sustain and feedback. The Fernandes Sustainer® puts that power at your fingertips. Fernandes has a patented technology that allows players to produce Hendrix-like textures and tonal colorings at any volume level. The Sustainer works with single notes or chords and can be adjusted to give swells or a gradual decay to the sustain. The Fernandes Sustainer® is a specially designed electronic system for electric guitar that creates controllable sustain of any single or group of notes in the instrument's sound range. This means that the string(s) will ring at constant intensity indefinitely until stopped, regardless of output and location, even if your guitar is not connected to an amplifier!
What Can the Fernandes Sustainer® do for you?
Bring your creativity to new levels by using the Sustainer with any combination of gear in your arsenal of effects, amp modelers and home recording equipment. Discover new sounds exploring the world of controlled sustain and feedback. How do you get natural sustain using digital effects? The Fernandes Sustainer® is the way!
How does it work?
The patented Fernandes Sustainer® system generates a magnetic field causing the strings of the guitar to vibrate. Powered by a 9-Volt battery, the interaction of the bridge humbucking pickup(B), the Sustainer Circuit Board(C) and the neck Sustainer Driver pickup(A), projects magnetic pulses that continuously vibrate the strings of the guitar, the same way an amplifier at extreme volume would do, yet totally controlled! The result is infinite sustain and/or feedback using sparkly clean or loud distorted settings without the need for excessive volume or extra outboard gear!

Some a little bit sad news. It's a tradition already that every year CES gathers hundreds of thousands of technology enthusiasts from around the world to Las Vegas to see the newest and greatest products. But this time we won't see too many powered Google TV devices. Why? Probably in order to avoid a major disaster Google took a rather wise decision to not present an unfinished product and reveal it at a later date. Toshiba and Vizio will not be demonstrating their lineup of Google TV compatible devices. Vizio will just organize an off the show floor demonstration to a small group of viewers.
One more obstacle for Google's delay could be the fact that many of the major networks including NBC, CBS, ABC and Hulu all blocked streaming content to Google TV users.
So now it seems like Google needs to concentrate most of its time on improvement of both, its software and its relationships with Hollywood
My Use of Google TV is limited to watching Netflix movies, for which it is very good, but then Wii can do that, too. As long as there are no 3rd party apps (and experience) for Google TV the use will be limited.
Here is a article "Google TV is failing, 10 reasons why":
Google has added a new filtering option to software submitted to Android market which is going to be like predecessor to the download store that will be on Google TV. The new option will check whether the application requires a touchscreen or not, as touchscreens you can find on the smartphones, but not on Google TV devices such as Logiteck's Revue.

Chris Lowell says there's a brotherly bond between himself and his co-stars on "Enlisted." It's a good thing too, considering they play brothers. "I think we get along exactly the way that brothers get along, which is to say we love each other so deeply and we are so supportive and so there for each other, and simultaneously we fight like siblings," Chris told Zap2it.com. Parker Young, who plays the youngest sibling (but is actually the eldest in real life) confirms it: "They're like my brothers," he says. "These guys treat me like I'm their little brother for sure, but I love it." Geoff Stults adds, "There's something about Parker -- he's so earnest and sweet and innocent that you can't help but fall in love with him, but I'd kill him if Chris wasn't here," Stults says. Chris agrees, sort of. "Oh my god, I guess [that's] true, except for I definitely would have murdered Parker way sooner than Geoff would have." Chris Lowell, who stars in the new movie "Brightest Star" and will appear in the new "Veronica Mars" movie, joins Steve Edwards and guest-host Heather Dubrow on Good Day L.A.
Fun Facts About Christopher Lowell: (Source: Wikipedia)
1) He is an interior decorator and television personality. He is best known for hosting the television shows Interior Motives and The Christopher Lowell Show. He won a Daytime Emmy Award in 2000 for his work on the latter program.
2) Beyond his hosting duties, Lowell has also achieved some notoriety by appearing on The Hollywood Squares and as a member of the California Boys' Choir. He currently has a line of desk accessories and furniture at Office Depot.
3) In 2008, Lowell hosted a series on Fine Living channel called Work That Room with Christopher Lowell.

- Author: Xenophon
- Genre: Historical
Xenophon of Athens, a soldier, mercenary, and a contemporary and admirer of Socrates. His literary heritage includes works on the history of his own times, the 4th century BC, preserving the sayings of Socrates, and the life of ancient Greece. In "Hiero" he offers a dialogue between Hiero, tyrant of Syracuse, and the lyric poet Simonides about 474 B.C.E. By this work the author tried to disprove general delusion of a complete prosperity of the tyrant, describing residing misfortunes, the atmosphere of distrust, hatred and continuous tyrant's fear for his own life.
The second part of the work presents a series of reorganizations, resulting in the prosperity and happiness of the ruler and his nation. Xenophon claims that one is able to avoid hatred and be honored if uses the power for the sake of good.

Ladies, gentlemen, friends, family, and irrational Met Fans,
The intent of this post is to publish and prove the factual statement that the R.A. Dickey trade is a good move. I will prove this in a clear, concise, and unemotional manner. For those of you that thrive on drama, exit out of this post and go watch Terms of Endearment.
Fact #1:
R.A. Dickey had a career year in 2012. Not just for him, a career year for the vast majority of major league hurlers past, present, and future. History tells us it is extremely difficult to match a season like that. Therefore, it is very unlikely his value to will be any higher.
Fact #2:
R.A. Dickey is 38 years old. The chances of him staying this effective and relevant are not very high.
Fact #3:
Combine Dickey' shelf life with his current effectiveness, and it is clear he is a great fit for a team ready to compete this year, and perhaps a year or two in the future. The New York Mets have not changed their 2012 lineup. In fact, they have only subtracted players. With R.A. Dickey in the rotation, performing at a Cy Young Award winning pace, the Mets finished in fourth place. Clearly, this team is not ready to compete now.
Fact 4:
The New York Mets do not have the finances to sign a Josh Hamilton or Zack Greinke, or both for that matter.
These are the facts, and they are irrefutable. After looking at the situation factually, realistically, and rationally the quickest and best way to build a winner in Queens was to trade #43.
Thank you R.A., for carrying yourself with class and potentially helping the New York Mets for years to come.

OTTAWA, Feb. 13, 2014 /CNW/ - The Hydropothecary President Sebastien St-Louis announced that prices
will start at $18 per gram for their exclusive line up of medical
marijuana products. "The Hydropothecary is developing the very best
medical marijuana. Quality guides all our production decisions, never
cost." said St-Louis.
With a brand new purpose built facility, state of the art phytotronic
growing pods and uncompromising processes, The Hydropothecary is
producing luxury medical marijuana for those with valid prescriptions.
"Our process is significantly different from other industry players;
strain specific lighting, strain specific food, 21 point room
monitoring and control, and a signature 'cold-snap' cultivation process
is just the start of it. We've even implemented a glass-only policy so
your marijuana is never stored in plastic." said Co-founder and COO
Adam Miron.
Expected to sell out in record time, The Hydropothecary will exclusively
cater to only 980 selected clients scheduled to begin August 2014.

David Livingstone, 1813 - 1873. Missionary and explorer 1857
- Scottish Art
David Livingstone was one of the great Christian missionaries of the nineteenth century. He also fought the slave trade in Africa throughout his life with great dedication. His African expeditions and his discovery and naming of Victoria Falls made him Britain's national hero. This charcoal and crayon half-length portrait was made in 1857 whilst Livingstone was back in London. He spent the year working on a book 'Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa' and the latter months on a speaking tour. Livingstone has signed the bottom of this work 'yours most truly, David Livingstone'.

This report for WWF and IUCN shows how GIS can be used to prioritise areas for forest restoration. Candidate social and ecological criteria are identified at a regional level. The Mediterranean region is used as a case studyResource Type: Tools / Applications
Efforts related to REDD+ in Bolivia are a component of the overall national strategy on forests and climate change. A UN-REDD Programme mission to Bolivia in 2010 identified a widespread enthusiasm for incorporating consideration of the ecosystem-derived multiple benefits of REDD+ into decision making. This metadata directory addresses the need identified by stakeholders to collate existing datasets on biodiversity, ecosystem services and other factors. They felt that an overview of existing datasets would help to clarify what data exists and is held by whom, and so enhance collaboration and reduce the potential for duplicating effort.
Resource Type: Reports
In Andhra Pradesh, local people living near forests are forming Vana Samrakshna Samithi (VSS), village organisations dedicated to forest restoration. In partnership with the state forestry department more than 5,000 VSS are working to restore more than 1.2 million hectares of degraded forests.
VSS share all of the non-timber forest products (grasses, fuel-wood, fruit, and medicines) amongst themselves, and receive all of the income from the harvest of timber and bamboo.
Half of this income is set aside for the future development and maintenance of the forest. In this way the long-term sustainability of the project is protected and government support is only required while the forest returns to a productive state.
When forests that would have been lost or degraded are retained or restored through REDD+, they deliver 'multiple benefits' in addition to protecting or enhancing carbon stocks. These ecosystem-based benefits may include conservation of forest biodiversity, water regulation, soil conservation, timber, forest foods and other non-timber forest products. REDD+ can also lead to direct social benefits, such as jobs, livelihoods, land tenure clarification, carbon credit payments or enhanced participation in decision-making under stronger governance. The UN-REDD Programme works with countries to address both ecosystem-based and social benefits, as well as a range of other REDD+ relevant areas. This brochure focuses on the ecosystem-based benefits of REDD+, which often depend upon forest biodiversity.Resource Type: Reports
The Last Stand of the Orangutan was prepared by a Rapid Response Team at UNEP/GRID-Arendal and UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre as a broad collaborative effort, involving contributors from the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Forestry, Indonesia, and partners of the Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP).Resource Type: Reports
UNEP-WCMC, in collaboration with SNV in Viet Nam, has developed a briefing on participatory biodiversity monitoring in REDD+. Some national REDD+ programmes, including Viet Nam's, are currently considering the use of participatory biodiversity monitoring within REDD+. This brief presents the key issues that national REDD+ programmes may want to consider if they decide to develop participatory biodiversity monitoring. The briefing covers why monitor biodiversity in REDD+, what is participatory biodiversity monitoring, what are the concerns about participatory biodiversity monitoring, and what is needed for participatory biodiversity monitoring.
Overall, participatory biodiversity monitoring can benefit REDD+ programmes as a relatively cost-effective and sustainable component of national forest monitoring systems. Monitoring biodiversity impacts of national programmes, including REDD+ can provide information on how countries are achieving the objectives of multilateral environment agreements, and existing national policies. In particular, safeguard information systems for national REDD+ programmes can benefit from the information provided by participatory biodiversity monitoring approaches. Additionally, participatory biodiversity monitoring can empower and encourage local stakeholder engagement in REDD+ processes and contribute to the full and effective participation of stakeholders, in particular women, indigenous peoples and local communities. REDD+ schemes that can demonstrate biodiversity benefits may be more attractive to gain support for the actions. However, participatory biodiversity monitoring is likely not to be the best solution in situations where complex equipment or expertise is needed to collect the data or where abstract indices of biodiversity are applied.Resource Type: Reports
UNEP-WCMC has developed operational guidelines to assist countries to implement biodiversity safeguards for REDD+. The summary report, containing the operational guidelines, can be found here.Resource Type: Reports
This publication brings together eight original articles by experts to tackle head on some of the most difficult questions facing us all:
* How a stable climate and a productive biosphere can be secured together.
* Why this is an opportunity for green growth.
* How a closer partnership between the multilateral environmental agreements, in particular the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Framework Convention on Climate Change, can help.
This paper reviews the potential for multiple benefits that might be attained by reducing emissions from deforestation (RED) through a mechanism developed under the UNFCCC. These benefits are relevant to national commitments under several environmental and sustainable development conventions and instruments, and may not be directly correlated with reduced carbon emissions. The design of the mechanism and its implementation will affect the degree to which these other benefits, such as biodiversity conservation, livelihoods, watershed protection and other ecosystem goods and services, are obtained.Resource Type: Reports
This briefing considers the implications for biodiversity conservation and local people's livelihoods of the current discussion on reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries (RED-DC, henceforth RED) under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The potential for RED to deliver multiple benefits for biodiversity conservation, livelihoods and other ecosystem services is well documented (UNEP-WCMC 2007). But it is important to note that RED could also have negative impacts on biodiversity and local livelihoods, for example as a result of the displacement of deforestation.Resource Type: Reports

"We used this card for our twin boy/girl announcements. Very professional looking, easy to customize everything - we changed fonts, colors, sizes, etc. I liked that they showed me how the photo would appear and whether it was the right size/shape photo for that particular card. Lots of family and friends commented on how nice our announcements were. Worth the money."
"I got this card for my twins after MUCH searching. In true Tiny Prints style it is excellent quality and had super-fast shipping. My only complaint is that the product photo depicts the green as a pastel but the actual color of the card is an apple green. Not a deal breaker but I would have preferred the pastel green. For this reason I am only giving it 4 stars."
"Very nice. This is my 3rd order from Tiny Prints. I ordered for my 1st daughter & her birthday and now the twins. Will keep ordering from them. Love the selection & the quality!"
"Wonderful customer service, quality and value. Love the announcement and appreciated the beautiful thank you note I received soon after my announcements arrived."
"These cards fulfilled all our desires: heavy cardstock, vibrant colors, and a beautiful, feminine - but not overly pink - design. This card is a great option if you're looking to include a photo of twins together in one shot, emphasizing the two-ness rather than the individuality of the babies. The cards have a high quality look and an expensive feel, just what we wanted to introduce our new baby girls to family and friends. Even our most stationery-savvy friends have called these the most beautiful baby announcements they've ever received. In addition to the names and birth data, we personalized the card by replacing "Introducing" in the template with our girls' nicknames. I can't recommend these highly enough."

Dayton, OH (Sports Network) - Devin Oliver scored a game-high 19 points, leading four players in double figures, as Dayton dismissed George Washington, 67-50, in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament at UD Arena.
Kevin Dillard accounted for 13 points and a game-high eight assists for the sixth-seeded Flyers (20-11), while Paul Williams and Josh Parker pitched in with 10 points apiece. With the victory Dayton advances to the quarterfinals on Friday and will face third-seeded Xavier at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.
The 11th-seeded Colonials (10-21) were paced by David Pellom who came off the bench to register a double-double consisting of 18 points and a game-high 10 rebounds in the setback.
Dayton scored the first points of the night and never looked back, connecting on 50.0 percent from the floor and 10-of-11 at the free-throw line as it moved out to a 31-17 lead at the break. The Colonials converted a total of just seven field goals through the first 20 minutes of action.
In the second half the Flyers again shot the ball quite well at 52.2 percent from the field, not to mention 8-of-9 at the charity stripe, en route to the 17-point home win.
The hosts outscored GW by a margin of 18-9 at the free-throw line which helped the Flyers to overcome 17 turnovers on the night.
