Consumers are dipping their toes in the m-commerce waters.
According a recent Adobe Scene7 poll, mobile commerce is on the rise. However, a closer look shows consumers still favor safe, low-cost items when shopping via their smartphones.
The poll of consumers with web-connected mobile devices, primarily smartphones, finds 62% are buying via their devices. The poll weeds out digital goods such as ringtones, wallpapers, etc., to only include physical goods. So, we're not dealing with 99-cent Angry Birds games here. But a closer look finds m-commerce still has a long way to go before it catches up with big brother e-commerce.
The greatest segment of mobile shoppers, 45%, spent $249 or less via mobile during the last 12 months, the report says. By comparison, the average annual online spend per shopper in 2010 was $1,139, according to an estimate from research firm eMarketer.
Next, let's look at what they buy. The most purchased consumer goods category is shrink-wrapped entertainment, including movies, music and games, purchased by 43% of the respondents who shopped on mobile devices. The next largest category is a smaller portion, 30%, for clothing, shoes and jewelry. And it's just a hunch, but I'm betting smitten males aren't buying an engagement ring via a smartphone just yet.
To me theses figures show hope, but also illustrate m-commerce still has a long way to go—which also means it has a lot of potential. I remember the day when consumers scoffed at the idea of buying big-ticket and visual-centric items via their PCs. My how that has changed. A good friend of mine got engaged a few weeks ago. Where did her fiancé buy the ring? BlueNile.com.
For now, mobile is a lot like the beginnings of e-commerce. People are dipping their toes in the water, but for big-ticket items, the water may still be a bit too cool. However, basic concerns, such as inputting credit card data via a mobile device or wondering if an order will go through, are not as major as when the concept of shopping from a phone was brand new. Part of that is because consumers are so used to buying digitally via their PCs.
Smartphone owners are becoming fairly comfortable buying items that are content-based rather than appearance-based—a DVD they heard was great, a book a friend recommended, etc. But they are still shying away from the biggies.
So what will it take for M to catch up with E? Part of it will simply be a matter of giving consumers time—and there's not a whole lot a retailer can do about that. In the meantime, retailers should focus on making it easy to shop from a mobile device. Quick checkout, alternate images, and ratings and reviews can't hurt. After all, it's those very features that helped move more shoppers to buy online when a computer was the only option.
Monday's turn out to be prime shopping days during the holiday season.

Theodore von Kármán, a Hungarian-American physicist, was the first to describe the physical processes that create long chains of spiral eddies like the one shown above. Known as von Kármán vortices, the patterns can form nearly anywhere that fluid flow is disturbed by an object. Since the atmosphere behaves like a fluid, the wing of an airplane, a bridge, or even an island can trigger the distinctive phenomenon.
On May 22, 2013, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite captured this natural-color image of cloud vortices behind Isla Socorro, a volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean. The island, which is located a few hundred kilometers off the west coast of Mexico and the southern tip of Baja California, is part of the Revillagigedo Archipelago.
Satellite sensors have spotted von Kármán vortices around the globe, including off of Guadalupe Island, near the coast of Chile, in the Greenland Sea, in the Arctic, and even next to a tropical storm.

The time has come! American Apparel has officially launched a denim line. Comprised of four high-waisted styles that promise to "suck you in and smooth you out" (and you're not alone if you felt a little dirty while reading that, considering recent legal troubles the company's CEO is having with ex-employees suing him for sexual harassment), the moderately priced set include two different washes and a world of vintage pin-up possibilities. We've got your first look at the full lookbook below.

Great ProductI have gone to a salon to get waxed for years and since I have moved I cannot find a good place to get waxed so I was thrilled to find this site and this wax. It is an easy system, just that you have to use a thin layer of the wax and it comes off really easily!! I highly recommend it!!Aug 30, 2004Valerie / Jasper, Indiana

Works Great For A Do It Yourself Brazilian!Ive used it a couple of times to give myself a brazilian (by the way, Im a male) and it works great! Doing it yourself is not as bad as you think, and if you are going to do it, this wax is the way to go.Aug 2, 2004John Doe

With A Couple More Practices, It'll Be As Good As Salon.I have gotten brazlilian waxed by a professional for the last three or four years in NYC. A friend living away from any kind of salon told me shed started waxing herself. I wanted to try and Im glad I did. I thought itd be really hard to get at those hard-to-reach areas but with a little creativity I was fine. It also seemed less painful with this stip-free wax than when my regular waxer did it using the fabric strips.Yay! I might not ever get in that awkward spread legs over head position for my regular waxing woman ever again. And I dont have to wait for an appointment. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 b/c container is a bit on the small side. Id like a bigger vat of the wax so I dont have to buy every couple of months.Jul 22, 2004Freed From The Embarrasment Of The Salon / Brooklyn, NY

It Worked For Me!This is by far the best waxing system I have used! It actually worked! The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that I wish they sold it in larger containers!! I would buy it in bulk!Jun 25, 2004Nadia / Chicago, IL

Love It!!!I love this stuff. I wax myself and I ONLY use Gigi Brazilian Bikini Wax. I dont just use it on the bikini area. I use it everywhere! Bikini, eyebrows and legs. I love that, I dont need clothe strips. My hubby likes it too. I wax his "unibrow" and he says it hurts less than other brands I have tried. I agree. Happy waxing!May 20, 2004Lisa / Grand Rapids, Michigan

Best Wax Out ThereI have tried many waxes and sugaring products. Most of them would leave hair behing and then I would have to tweeze the remaining hairs out. Until I came across GiGi and great hard wax that I dont have to use strips with, it is so much easier without the strips and the nice thing about waxing is that Gigi also has a numbing spray to put on before waxing and a wax remover for any wax left on your sking afterward.Mar 19, 2004Betti / Pa

broke 2 in 5 months. Pretty disappointed.

Scot claims hat-trick of bad decisions in Europe, but promises his side will quickly regain their focus for tie against Chelsea, Oliver Kay writes
There was a sharp intake of breath at Manchester United's training ground yesterday when Sir Alex Ferguson was asked whether, as a violent storm raged around Old Trafford on Tuesday night, he had been as guilty as his players in allowing himself to be thrown off course.
Ferguson narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He did not need to ask the journalist to specify that he was referring to the way that Ferguson and his team seemed to lose all focus in the moments that followed Nani's controversial red card against Real Madrid. When Nani was sent off, United

July 1 Update
by gwilson on Jul.01, 2009, under Uncategorized
We're entering the mid-summer period where the wind-down from the spring semester collides head-on with the spool-up for the fall semester. Things are busy on campus. Here's a sampling:
- The first SOAR is over and the second one is next week. SOARs are events for incoming students to go through orientation and get their class schedules worked out for the fall. We had 120 students make McMurry their college home a week or so ago. Over 100 more incoming freshmen are scheduled to be on campus next week. They are the smart ones, as waiting for the third SOAR or to register at the beginning of the semester means risking closed classes and schedule conflicts. I mentioned in a comment that roughly 10% of students at the first SOAR signed up for the initial BIMS course. Looks like it will be a great start for Year Two of BIMS.
- Summer research is well underway. Dr. Paul Pyenta has been working with a Welch Summer Research student to clone gfp protein into a plasmid compatible with Bacillus thuringiensis. They've been using the new centrifuge mentioned in a recent post, but found the need to spin 250 ml bottles at a high speed than is possible with the swinging bucket rotor we got with it. Another centrifuge and modified procedure will have to suffice until we can purchase another rotor more suitable to the speeds required by the original protocol.
- Dr. Pyenta ordered a new digital gel documentation system today that will allow clear photography of gels for publication and presentation. This is a valuable piece of equipment for helping students build their biological portfolios – artifacts from their hands-on lab work will be collected and saved to document their proficiency.
- Dr. Tom Benoit taught Microbiology in Summer 1 and now is working on a proposal for the lab renovation competition McMurry will hold in August. Science faculty were encouraged to propose innovative spaces for teaching and research for the competition, which will see the winning entry adopted to guide a lab renovation project to take place in Summer 2010. Two labs and support spaces will be renovated to provide a model of future spaces to be seen in the Finch-Gray Science Center. BIMS intends to have the best proposal for consideration.
- Dr. Heidi DiFrancesca has spent time this summer traveling. No word yet whether she will join her husband Mark on a trip to Japan on behalf of their church. One additional task Dr. D will accomplish this summer is purchase of the next important pieces of teaching/research equipment: real-time PCR, Nanodrop spectrophotometer, new tissue culture hoods, and more.
- Dr. Larry Sharp has been busy overseeing applications to health professions schools – medical and dental, mainly. He us also teaching both A&P I and II this summer, all while designing the new Pre-Health Professions Seminar series to be taken by our pre-health students.
- Dr. Gary Wilson has been juggling administrative duties with an overhaul of his microbiology course and some development work for his software package VirtualUnknown(TM) Microbiology. A new totally online version of the software is in development.
- BIMS faculty plan to hold a retreat this summer to assess what worked this year and what needs "tweaking" as the BIMS program enters its second year. One item for discussion is how we can intentionally link courses together through common projects so that we work together in research as our students learn. We got a great start on that this year, but more can be done.
No doubt, it is a busy summer in Abilene!

This Should Be In Everyone's Bag.....period!Here is the deal....if you exfoliate like you are suppose to, spray the product on, while wearing gloves and use the mitt (sold seperately) you will look like you have been laying on the sunny beaches of Florida. I do believe the mitt holds the key to getting it even with no specks of darker application you can get from a spray. Feet/Hands are a challenge with most products. Using a light dusting of the spray (color guard is in it, so you can see where it is being applied) then rub with a mitt, I promise you NO one will know your tan came from a can and you will avoid that dark smoker hand look and your feet won't look as if you are filthy. I noticed reviews talking about the bottom of the feet getting dark....well heck yeah they will. If you don't like that...pumice it off. ALL tanners do that (from spray booths to everything in between). I did this application last night. I went and showed several folks at the salon where I do makeup application. No one could believe the coverage or the flawless color. I'm one shade darker than albino...so yeah, I know what I'm talking about. I normally use NW20 in MAC, after one application I had to wear NW25 this morning. I am sold!Jun 3, 2015Chris R. / Florida

Messy And Doesn't Give That Much ColorI really wish I ordered a mousse or a lotion instead of a spray!!! This thing really messed up my shower. On top of that, I stepped in paint in the tub, since it was everywhere, and bottoms of my feet turned dark brown. I wore long sleeved clothes and went to bed. The next day, after a shower, I realized, that the color was pretty light. Argh!Jan 8, 2014Olena Y. / NYCHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Liking It So FarI used this product for the first time this morning. It scared me at first because it came out so brown. I immediately got the gloves that came in the box and put them on and started to rub it all in like I were putting lotion on. I noticed I have a couple of missed spots around my ankles and feet only because with other products it has been a huge mistake doing my feet. I only did my legs and stomach because I wanted to do a couple of tests before doing my whole body just in case it was too orange. It is definitely not orange which is exactly what I have been looking for. I took a bath tonight and noticed the bath water was a little tinted. I think I am going to reapply the same areas tomorrow night after my bath. I have read other posts about the smell and I noticed this product was way better than others I have tried and also it dried immediately. I will definitely be using this product this summer.Apr 14, 2013Darla

Best Tan Ever !!!Great color and NO odor so I have no idea where people talk about "smell".

You can easily spray the shower clean and VOILA...great tan and no mess!

Best Self-tanner Ever!I love to look tan but don't want the wrinkles or sun damage. I have olive skin and this spray gives me a beautiful caramel color and looks so natural. For my face, I spray some on a cotton disk and wipe it over my face. For the body, I wear gloves, spray the product and rub it on so it is even all over. Best if used outdoors to avoid staining and breathing problems.Jun 10, 2011Hoda H. / California

This Product Rubs Off On Everything!I went to Ulta and spent $31 on this product, when i put it on it gives you great color not orange. I am very pail and my hair color is light reddish brown (dye) so I wanted a nice even tan. The down fall is it comes off on EVERYTHING, it was under my 6 week old babies nails, my bed sheets, and my clothes. I sprayed it in my bathroom and the mist goes everywhere. Every little nook in my bathroom was covered in the spray. It took 2 hours to clean from top to bottom. I was so upset it says it lasts for 7 days...more like 1. Most of it washes away after you shower. I will just go back to buying my loreal sublime bronze spray for $8 and call it a day.May 31, 2011Stacy F. / North CarolinaHAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Jury Still Out On This Onethis is the first time I've used Fake Baked products. Honestly, I wasn't expecting for the tan to be instant! Of course my feet look like I haven't bathed in a year. The color is pretty natural looking and not too orange. I'll get a better idea in the morning when i shower. At the moment it's a little dark for me, so hopefully a long shower with a loofa will remedy the darkness and the feet! The smell is sickening. Hopefully a shower will cure this too. I used the product outside, and glad I did!!!! It sort of hands in the air, and makes it hard to breathe around it. I definitely think you should have a friend spray it on for you for optimal results.Apr 22, 2011Betsey A.HAIR TYPEMedium Brown

Best Spray Tan In A Bottle.....I've tried so many kinds of sprays and this is seriously the best i've used. It goes on evenly and turns you instantly tan. I spray it on in the morning and don't shower till late that night or till the next day. It has a faint smell, but not that bad. Every time i use it, all my friends ask me what i've been using and want to know where i got it. I even use it on my face. I love, love, love this stuff!!May 21, 2010Danielle

Too big with no socks

I had even contemplated on returning them (before they arrived), but as soon as I opened the box I put them on & haven't taken them off since. I get tons of compliments & they look great with skirts & jeans."

Great Boot1
"These boots are wonderful. They are comfortable and the leather actually resembles a good quality made leather. The "Tan" is exactly the brown I was looking for compared to the darker brown they have for sell.As regards to size I think they run normal for a boot. For instance, I wear a 9.5 in sneakers, and for dress shoes I vary between 8.5-9. I have always bought 8.5 for boots like Clarks, and these seem to fit me just the same in 8.5.Great boots overall!"

ACU's Lankford voted to All-Region second team
GRAND JUNCTION, Colorado - ACU junior guard Mackenzie Lankford has been voted to the second team on the Daktronics NCAA Division II all-South Central Region squad.
Lankford, a second team selected as a freshman in 2010-11 and a first team selection as a sophomore in 2011-12, is only the third ACU Wildcat to earn three Daktronics all-region honors, joining Melanie Carter and Audrey Maxwell-Lively on the short list.
Lankford -- who leads the 21-6 Wildcats into a quarterfinal game against Texas-Permian on Friday in the NCAA Division II South Central Region Tournament -- is averaging a team-best 14.3 points per game and is shooting 40.7 percent from the field on the season.
The junior from Weatherford is joined on the all-region second team by Kirsti Degeila of Midwestern State, Katrina Selsor of Colorado Mesa, Jackie Woods of St. Mary's, and Peyton Adamson of Tarleton State. Each of those teams is playing in this weekend's regional tournament at Colorado Mesa.
The first team is led by Tarleton State junior center Kiara Wright, who led the region in votes and is the region's Most Outstanding Player. She is joined on the first team by Colorado Mesa's Kelsey Sigl, UTPB's Teisha King, West Texas A&M forward Devin Griffin, and Midwestern State's Andrea Carter.
Lankford has scored 1,312 points 74 career games (17.7 points per game), and, at her current pace, will finish her Wildcat career in 2013-14 as the program's fourth all-time leading scorer.

In the mid-1800s, prospectors flocked to the American West, hoping to find their fortune. Today, a similar phenomenon is occurring within US healthcare—companies outside the industry view healthcare as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise sluggish economy.
What makes the industry so attractive to new entrants? The current health system is fragmented with inefficiencies, creating opportunities for technological and other process improvements. PwC's Health Research Institute (HRI) identified three primary opportunities: (1) online health information services, (2) alternative sources of healthcare services, and 3) products and services aimed at the 18-24 year-old demographic segment.1
Some companies already have taken advantage of these opportunities, entering the health industry in innovative ways. Consider that of the Fortune 50 organizations, nearly a quarter are traditional health industry companies. Almost another quarter have no direct involvement in the health industry. The remaining companies are part of a new lexicon coined by HRI: fixers, connectors, retailers, and implementers. (See Figure.)
Health industry involvement of Fortune 50 companies
Here's how the new players will make their mark:
Fixers attack the health system's parts that are dysfunctional, bifurcated, and unsustainable. These companies search for opportunities to improve processes to reduce costs and waste. Fixers' work can strengthen traditional health companies.
Connectors succeed by linking information and technology across the health system. These companies provide meaningful analysis and context so that clinicians and consumers can make better decisions about health behaviors.
Retailers prosper in high-volume, standardized markets with low margins. Retailers use their deep customer relationships and ubiquitous access to serve new markets, such as primary care.
Implementers thrive on government spending programs, new regulations, and established industry standards. Implementers understand that the industry is converging, and they are able to work across traditional sectors toward the government's aim to achieve a more integrated model.

Skip to comments.TCM movie alert: "Doctor Zhivago"(1965) 8PM E.S.T.
Posted on 02/17/2013 3:59:37 PM PST by ReformationFan
Another TCM alert: tonight at 8PM it's airing "Doctor Zhivago". Definitely worth seeing as Hollywood film that actually showed how terrible life was in Soviet Russia. The only thing I don't like about it is its hero cheating on his cute wife with Lara. Otherwise, a truly great film with Rod Steiger stealing the show as the opportunistic lawyer Komarovsky.
Zhivago: Peter O'Toole Tonya: Audrey Hepburn Lara: Sophia Loren(Mrs. Carlo Ponti, the producer who originally bought the rights for her to star in it) Komarovsky: Marlon Brando or James Mason Pasha/Streilnikov: Omar Sharif(he originally wanted this role but David Lean cast him as the lead instead).
The trailer-
Greatest movie ever made.
"The personal life is dead"
My faorite scene is when they go through the field of flowers.
Thanks for the reminder. Wonder if a similar (Bolshevik) revolution is to take place in the U.S. during or after Obama's reign.
> The personal life is dead
"— for a man with any manhood." - Pasha.
The mother's funeral scene with the music is haunting.
I remember seeing "Dr. Zhivago" in the post theater at Camp Zama, Japan, in 1966. We were mesmerized. More than 25 years later we watched it again some 15 years later on VHS, and found it to be boring.
Interesting trivia- the score was created by Maurice Jarre, father of French composer Jean Michel Jarre.
OMG! I can't imagine this wonderful film cropped down to a 4:3 aspect and played from a fuzzy VHS machine.
This film is just glorious in 1080p BluRay.
conflict tonight.....Walking Dead or Dr Zhivago?
I thought it was visually stunning and like everyone else loved the music.
It was basically a very good movie. About the only fault was it was really long.
I had a high school buddy who worked as a theater usher (remember those?) when this movie was released. It played so long in the theater that he and the other usher memorized it word for word.
Excellent film. Some of my Russian ancestors fought in the Russian Revolution, but for the wrong (Red) side. Family history, I'm trying to verify it somehow so I'm not 100% here, says my great-great grandfather was one of the generals who knew Lenin although the story is he told his son to "get out of here" and go to America. Later on, my great-grandfather was drafted to fight World War I in the American Expeditionary Force.
Too depressing to watch. It reminds me of Obama's plans for the rich and the middle class. What kind of people will be crowding into my home and hanging their laundry in my kitchen next year?
It's an epic soap opera.
They will probably be people from a Latin American country who entered this country during Obama's gift of instant citizenship to all except Europeans.
Thank you for your sharing. I LOVE Jean Michel Jarre!
Not a fan of chick flix.
One of 2 or 3 movies I was roped into seeing around the mid sixties as a date movie.
Not my cup of tea. No...more specifically I hated thiis movie, 'sound of music' and a re release of 'gone with the wind'. Women! They got me to many things I did not want to do.
Thank you for the heads-up! This is my favorite film so I'll DVR while I'm watching Downton Abbey. Spend tomorrow with Dr. Z and Lara.
WD. Dvr the Dr. ;)
The funeral scene has the look of a horror movie. An amazing visual feast of a movie.
Seven Samurai.
I saw the film at the Paramount Theater in Hollywood, Calif., in August, 1966.
Definitely a candidate for the best movie of all time.
RAN-One of my all time favorites
Yep, actually we're dvr'ing both, since we got a youngster in the house and we dont need any distractions and WD is obviously not suitable either..
Ran is stunning.... beautiful and brutal. Another one of Kurosawa's many great movies.
Good call. WD definitely not kid friendly!
Agree. After seeing Ran I was hooked on Kurosawa and his work.
The beautiful Latra(Julie Christie) was 17 when she was banging both Komorovsky and that other creep. So she moves on to a married Dr. Zhivago. It was a convincing love story and Geraldine Chaplin was the perfect(strait-laced) loser in the (not) triangle.
Thank you. I'm watching. It's one of my favorites of all time. When i first saw it as a young woman, all i saw was the romance. Now,all i see is dangerous foreshadowing. Reminds me of "he who beats his swords into ploughshares will be the slave of those who don't."
When I first saw Zhivago in the mid sixties I though the black headed one, (his wife) was prettier than Lara.
I saw it recently and there was no doubt Julie Christie was way prettier.
I can't figure out why the change but in the mid sixties I had a terrible crush on a beautiful black headed girl.
I later married a beautiful blonde or between blonde and light brown.
Once was enough for "Born Free." Saw that one at Camp Zama as well. I'm betting our situation at the time was considerably more comfortable than yours. Thanks for your service and glad you made it back.
Love Story - Doctor Zhivago Theme Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X-Q4nmYqc4
LARA'S THEME (DR. ZHIVAGO) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRElAjI1O60
Nah, ''Casablanca'' by a mile.
"We endured it because of our cursed capacity to endure''. Speaks volumes about the Russian mindset under Communism. And a lot of the mindset of the majority of the democrat voters of the state I live in— New Jersey.
Was that at the little outdoor theater at San Onofre?
Semper Fi,
Casablanca much better than Doctor Z.
the Godfather and Godfather II better than anything made before or since. Fugetaboutit!
(Godfather III was a horrible movie)
Thanks ... you too.
My favorite scene is where they cut to the house covered in snow.
That scene was filmed in Spain...
I guess I will have to learn how to speak Espanol.
As a consolation prize, Mrs. Z got to leave Russia for a relatively much freer life in Paris while the Doc and Lara stayed behind to only spend a brief time together before being permanently separated with him having a heart attack on a street trying to call out to her and Lara probably ended up dying in a work camp as Yevgraf the commie half-brother surmised so Tonya probably got the better deal in the long run.
I always thought Lara and her bizarre love/hate relationship with Komarovsky provided much greater sparks than her relationship with Zhivago. And in the end, he probably did more actual work in trying to save her than either her psycho/revolutionary fanatic husband or the doctor did.

All parents complain at one time or another that their teenagers seem to hardly hear a word they say. An estimated fifteen in one thousand young people under the age of eighteen, however, do in fact have some degree of hearing loss. According to the National Institutes of Health, one-third of those cases can be blamed partly on our environment. Our ears are assaulted by excessive noise day in and day out: the teeth-grinding whir of a neighbor's leaf blower; a temperamental car alarm shrieking in the distance; a jet airliner roaring overhead.
Sound volume is measured in units called decibels (dB). Sudden or extended exposure to lower sounds (85 dB or more) can potentially cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. This is called acoustic trauma. How loud is 85 decibels?
Surprisingly, not very loud, about equivalent to the bleating of city traffic as heard from inside your car. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which regulates hearing safety in the workplace, mandates that employees should not be subjected to more than 90 dB over a period of eight hours, and never more than 115 dB.
Each 5-decibel increase in intensity reduces the safe-exposure time by half, so that the average rock-music performance (110 dB) begins to take its toll on kids' hearing after just half an hour. Teenagers exposed to such high-intensity sound can and do experience transient hearing loss characterized by ear ringing. The effects of such brief duration acoustic trauma usually resolves in several days.
However, years of repeated exposure to hazardous levels of noise may lead to irreversible hearing damage, by destroying the tiny hair cells in the inner ear. With the loss of those cells, a person begins to experience difficulty hearing high-pitched sounds. In addition, the nerve fibers that transmit sound messages to the brain begin to degenerate, as do the corresponding nerves within the central nervous system. Eventually, the lower frequencies, where a good deal of speech is deciphered, become affected too. Although the symptoms of hearing loss may not emerge until later in life, the damage is already underway.
A thorough medical history and a physical examination, including an ear exam with an otoscope. Impedance testing, a hearing assessment for evaluating the functioning of the middle ear, and pure-tone audiometry, to test the softest level at which a young patient can hear various frequencies of sound.

Comments: Possibly the longest casting lure ever. It's like a rock. It skips but often way past the intended target, whacking anything in its path. It's like a weapon. It can sink a docked boat or kill a giant. Tough finish. Bass like it, so beef up the hooks.
From: Outcast: Shark Town, CA 9/25/14
Comments: Made the mistake of throwing these with 8 lb. test and a spinning reel around a 10 plus lb. bass near a dock. He engulfed the bait and broke me off before I could set the drag. Found the bait floating near the pond drain a few weeks later. Had to clean her up and she will need new hooks of course. This happened the very first time out. Great action and looks just like a bluegill.
From: Steve: Cary, NC
Comments: guys are catching on, awesome baits, I love them. Caught good fish off these baits. Love the look is sweet and the best.
From: Alex
Comments: This is an awesome little bait when the fish are keying in on small bluegill. I had a 100 fish day recently, and the majority of them were caught on this lure. The bass were throwing up tiny gills, so I knew this bait would deliver, and it did.
From: Greg: UT
Comments: Went out today on day two with this lure and got one bite in 20 minutes under the bridge, but it was an at least 6 lb snook. Again this lure seems to attract bigger fish. Getting more in larger sizes. Great lure. He almost chewed through the 20lb invisex seaguar flouro leader though.. after only 1 minutes or less into the fight. He hit 6-7 feet away.
Weather- windy, overcast, cool temps- about 70-ish in the water.

|In response to Re: TOILET
I don't know of any part on a toilet that could be described as "fitting into a pipe"?????
most modern toilets have two main parts, the tank (big square porcelin box on the back of the toilet, usualy full of water), and the bowl ( round or oval part that you sit on and it in turn sits on the floor, usualy 1/2 full of water.)
some older toilets had the tank mounted high up on the wall and connected to the toilet with a pipe. the bowl was similar to the modern toilets.
If you and the plumber suspected a wax ring leak then I suspect you are talking about the bowl???
If your toilet is substantialy different than modern toilets then you will have to make the evaluation about wether it is repairable. Porcelin is a brittle material and generaly considered non repairable. But there are exceptions. If there is no stress on the crack, then you might be able to caulk it and have it last another 50 years. I think thats unlikely but its your call, and a tube of good caulk is only 3-4 bucks.
: I had a plummer out today to change the wax ring in my upstairs toilet. When he pulled the toilet up we found that it wasn't the wax ring messed up but the tank was broken. (The part that fits into the pipe - don't know what it's called.) Anyway, I know the toilet probably isn't orginal to my 100 year old home (even though it was built with a bathroom) but it must be old because I found it listed in "antique toilets" on the net. My question: Is there anyway to "fix" or "rig" this toilet so it doesn't leak and be able to keep it? If not, is there a place to buy these old things? (Fixing would probably be a bettter option cost wise if possible.) Thanks for your help.

It is built close to tributary of Peneus River, in an area perfect for commercial contact between the plain and mountain area (31.000 inhabitants). This is one of the reasons why it is the rural center of Thessaly products (cotton, wheat and products of cattle raising) collection and distribution. With its two big squares, the huge park and beautiful pedestrian precincts, Karditsa gives to its visitors the opportunity to go around the city by bicycle (it has a wide network of bicycle streets) and enjoy its beauty. In 1821, the plague epidemic decimated the city population. Its revival began after the liberation from Turks in 1881. Karditsa was the first free city in Europe after the withdrawal of Italian army on March 1943 during the Second World War. Its final liberation from German army took place in September 1944. It is located 303 km NW of Athens and 228 km SW of Thessaloniki.

This might sound fanboyish but I really didn't hate anyone. I liked all the characters. They each had an enjoyable personality. Except for maybe Spandam. He was a douche.

Spandam and Spandine. These two father and son is a douche. Like father, like son.
white beard all the way. nothing annoys me more than an annoying adult who thinks he knows it all :thefinger
Vivi is the most annoying character imo.
She's like pre-timeskip Sakura, always screaming and crying...
When Luffy punched her in the anime, it made my heart explode from happiness.

Dead Body Found Near Wapato
The Spokane office of the FBI is assisting Yakama Tribal Police in the investigation of a dead body that was found this morning on tribal land west of Wapato.
The unidentified man was found near the end of Kays road. Yakima County coroner Jack Hawkins tells us that the man did suffer head trauma and that the case is being treated as a possible homicide. An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow.
The FBI also tells us a man was treated in the Toppenish hospital this morning for gunshot wounds, and authorities are trying to see if the two incidents are linked.

Wish list for 2014
Oh, that we could find some politicians who are NOT beholden to some monied interest group.
Can we get over calling progressives words like "socialist," and right-wingers "fascists"?
For the most part the people in Congress have no idea what it is to be really poor and disadvantaged. They are far too often white men who have no idea what it is to overcome racial bigotry. They have no idea what it means to wonder where your next meal is coming from. Yet these same people, who have been given so much, like to tell us how hard they had it when young. Like Paul Ryan saying he lives humbly and his family lives in a house in the same area where he grew up ...but doesn't say that his house was a mansion once owned by the Parker family of Parker Pen Corp. It is disgusting how insensitive most members of Congress are, and how much they lecture us on "pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps," meanwhile taking favor after favor from their job and the people who provide them with a relatively lush standard of living.
Religion plays too large of a role in political decision-buying ...oops, I mean decision-making. Much of political posturing is really to obtain the special favors a group wants, and "religion" really becomes "politics."
Think for a moment how much time, effort, pandering, and money are spent creating a certain image and special-interest persona in American political office-holding. What a waste. The people's business is only seemingly available to those "people" with money and influence.
The political system in America needs a total overhaul. The current system is one built on comfort, image, favors, and all political activities are for sale.
This is a good time for each of us to commit ourselves to working to overcome the monied jungle we have allowed to be made of our former democracy. Enough well-intentioned words, it is time for well-intentioned action. "Throw the bums out" is but a beginning. Let's do it!

It is 5:30 am in Mandalay, Myanmar. Our hotel is directly across from the former royal palace and it is a good time for a run. The city has been awake for a while and streetlights are about to go on for an hour or so before dawn. That gave me some pause.
The city was dark through the night but why light up when in a few minutes nature would begin doing the job. First, I heard the sweeping. Long, graceful straw brooms wielded by women who marched across the broad sidewalks like an army pushing the dried leaves into the street. Then I heard squeaking sounds that seemed associated with a playground swing whose bearings had rusted. As I ran closer, here was a par course with a dozen apparatuses on which people were lifting, bending and stretching. The lights were on to help people work and exercise.
In a country long isolated from most of the world, I began to wonder why energy and time was spent on tidying things and toning people up. And at a time when we were hearing at each university meeting that, as one of the Rectors put it, "We need just about everything," it did not seem to make a lot of sense to have invested public resources in even these simple steps to make life better.
But that is what Burmese want. Without anyone telling them, they seem to demand results from government as well as the party of Aung San Suu Kyi. "Both need to tell us what they are going to do," one of our hosts observed. "Then the people can really decide."
Much more than one would expect, the people here demand a great deal from life. Meeting their demands and needs has been what is revolutionary for the government as well as the opposition to consider. It is not clear who is winning. But both sides appear hard at work. Just like the people who cleared a path along the sidewalks on this very early morning in Mandalay.
IIE's President and CEO Dr. Allan Goodman is currently in Myanmar leading a partnership focused delegation through IAPP. While in Myanmar, the IIE-led delegation will hold public workshops at a number of universities in Yangon and Mandalay open to anyone interested in learning from the U.S. representatives as they lecture on topics such as accreditation, quality assurance, faculty development, student learning, partnerships and other critical subjects.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Editor's Note: In preparing the Emery Telcom Story entitled: "Emery Telcom Investigation Continues," I was informed that they were unable to speak about the case because of advice offered by their legal council. Since that time, their Board of Directors, has been allowed to offer more information than is in the original article. I am running both of the articles below. The first article and then the response from the Emery Telcom Board of Directors.
Emery Telcom, an Orangeville based business is still under investigation from the Utah Attorney General's Office. No charges have been filed in the case, but recently the affidavit was released on which the search warrant was issued. The search warrant was executed on Feb. 5 at the business. Certain accounting documents, both paper and electronic relating to the business activities of Emery Telcom were seized. Also, another site in Colorado described as the home office of Emery Telcom's chief financial officer was searched.
The affiant, Capt. Ross E. Larsen is a criminal investigator for the Utah Attorney General's Office, he has investigated over 50 white collar crimes. He had reason to believe that there was probable cause that the documents contained attempts to commit or conceal a public offense; documents are being possessed with the purpose to use it as a means of committing or concealing a public offense; documents consist of an item or constitutes evidence of illegal conduct, possessed by a party to the illegal conduct.
Property and documentary evidence stored in the form of magnetic or electronic coding on computer with the aid of computer related equipment is probable evidence of the crime of communications fraud, and/or theft, and/or unlawful dealing with property by a fiduciary and other criminal offenses enumerated under Utah Code for the Public Service Commission. These items were seized in order to conduct an investigation to see if any of the claims warrant criminal charges.
These accusations became available to Larsen which established the grounds for the issuance of a search warrant. Larsen spent time in oral interviews and also reviewing written statements by Emery Telcom employees, some currently working there and a former employee. These witnesses came forward voluntarily and oral statements were taken independently of one another and corroborate evidence of their accusations against questionable and illegal business practices of specific managers of Emery Telcom.
The affidavit of the search warrant has been sealed until recently. This sealing was requested by an additional court order. The four witnesses wished to remain anonymous during the investigative process and feared reprisal from those they were accusing.
Accusations of alleged misbookings and miscodings of expenses both large and small dates back many years. These questioned misbookings involve the non-regulated subsidiary Emery Communication and Video-ETV; Emery Telcom long distance and Emery Telcom Internet; these are subsidiaries of the regulated company Emery Telcom. This includes the questioned booking of expenses from these subsidiary companies to Emery Telcom so the subsidiary companies can show they are running in the black on their audits and allows Emery Telcom to be reimbursed for these expenses by rate increases and settlements approved by the Public Service Commission. These alleged and questioned misbookings are still under investigation by the Utah Attorney General's office and no charges have been made.
The company is also accused of another method of committing fraud by contracting with local mining companies or other telecommunication companies to upgrade equipment. The outside companies pay Emery Telcom for the costs associated with the upgrade and Emery Telcom allegedly reflects the expenses as a capital outlay on its books, therefore allowing it to get a second recoupment of money, this time from the Public Service Commission, alleged the informants.
The informants reported another suspected illegal activity involving the theft of Qwest property, which they said was kept hidden from Qwest and remained in the custody of Emery Telcom. This equipment's estimated value is over $237,000.
The affidavit states that Emery Telcom is a cooperative utility regulated by the Public Service Commission. As such, the rates are set by the PSC. This rate structure allows Emery Telcom to make a profit on expenditures for capital improvements. This rate is fixed at 10 percent profit plus reimbursement for capital improvements. Emery Telcom, Carbon-Emery Telcom and Hanksville Telcom are among the regulated businesses. All of the Emery Telcom businesses and subsidiaries are managed and the accounting is done by one business Emery Telcom. The questioned and challenged shifting of expenses from the non-regulated businesses to the regulated business would guarantee by the rate structure the recoupment of expenses for capital improvements and also an additional 10 percent return.
The informants also reported that they believed fictitious information was used in the Carbon-Emery rate case which was being reviewed by the PSC. Spread sheets involving expenses involved did not include all the pertinent information regarding local service rates and tariffs according to the informants.
The investigation is ongoing by the Utah Attorney General's Office and no charges have been brought against company officials at this time.
Larry Salazar, company spokesman, for Emery Telcom said, "The managers would really like to discuss the situation, but at the advice of our legal council, we cannot at this time. This is a pending investigation. The company focus right now is in seeing that our customers are not affected by what's taken place. The company continues to operate for the benefit our customers. It is our goal that the customers not feel any of the consequences of this investigation."
Paul Crawford, president of the Emery Telcom Board of directors said, "On Feb. 5, 2004 agents of the Attorney General of the State of Utah, pursuant to a search warrant, initiated an investigation of Emery Telcom's senior management by conducting a search of the company's offices and interviewing the company's employees and directors. At that time, the Board of Directors of Emery Telcom engaged independent legal counsel and consultants to conduct the company's own investigation into the allegations which were being made in connection with the Attorney General's investigation. Inasmuch as both the Attorney General's and Emery Telcom's investigations are ongoing, the Board of Directors has been instructed by legal counsel not to discuss at this time, any details regarding the findings of those investigations.
"The Board of Directors is aware that the affidavit supporting the search warrant was recently unsealed and made available to the public. Further, the Board of Directors is aware of the allegations and claims reported in that affidavit. The Board of Directors understands that each of those allegations and claims has already been or is continuing to be investigated by Emery Telcom's independent counsel.
"Since the inception of the Attorney General's investigation, those in senior management which are the subject of the Attorney General's investigation have continued to function in their respective capacities and in so doing, they have the full support of the Board of Directors of Emery Telcom.
"We are still under a gag order and we can't just do things on a whim. The people we have hired are very capable and we have full confidence in them. The board is united. The thing to remember is these are still just allegations. It is business as usual. It has been very hard for the people who work at Emery Telcom and I feel sorry for them," said Crawford.

Skip to comments.Associates defend man SAFE Act Proponent) who had gun in school
Posted on 02/09/2014 2:44:50 PM PST by matt04
Dwayne Ferguson spent more than a decade advocating for nonviolence and peace in the streets of Buffalo.
He was a well-known face in the movement for the SAFE Act, the state law that made carrying a gun on school property a felony. He was also a familiar presence in the hallways of the citys Harvey Austin Elementary School, where he worked in the after-school program and mentored students.
No one imagined that on Thursday he would show up at the school in possession of a gun, touching off an hours-long lockdown, search and ultimately his arrest on two felony charges.
Ferguson, 52, told WGRZ-TV that he frequently carries the gun, for which he has a permit, and did not realize he had it on him when he went to the school as part of the mentoring program.
Those who have worked with him also said they believe it was an honest mistake.
Im sure Dwayne went into the school not thinking he had the gun on him, said Rev. James E. Giles, a friend of Ferguson and president of Back to Basics Outreach Ministries. We know this for a fact, that he called out to a Buffalo police lieutenant asking why the school was in lockdown, and that they were looking for a man with a gun.
Dwaynes reaction was to get his kids he had about 50 of them and make sure they were safe, Giles explained. He led them into the cafeteria and closed the doors.
Giles, like Ferguson, is a member of Buffalo Peacemakers, an anti-violence coalition that targets gang-related street crime.
(Excerpt) Read more at buffalonews.com ...
But surely, if he is in a situation where seconds count, he can just say he is for non-violence and the bad guy will just stop and wait for the cops to show up? Right. That how it is supposed to work for every one else.
The charges will be dropped.
These people are delusional. Sounds like this guy is someone who shouldn't have a gun.
You break the law you get punished.
That's how it's supposed to work.
But this is Obamaland so I'm guessing this guy will get off scot free
Zero tolerance.
Lock him up for the full four years.
So an anonymous tip about a man with a gun and the police are called in. Then people are patted down by police, and that's when they find it on him.
Last I heard, it's a big no no to carry a gun on a public school campus. But a police pat down based on an anonymous tip? Will this search be deemed Constitutional?
Fry him in the electric chair, then claim that it was an honest mistake.
He just considers himself to be part of the elite. Democrats are not necessarily against guns. They are just against people other than *themselves*, or others of like mind, having guns.
Laws don't apply to the Democrats who vote for them. They only apply to those who oppose them.
I'm curious to know how someone knew he had the gun. Maybe it printed and some caught a glimpse in a crowd, but didn't see exactly who.
In a development Im sure will shock you, trusting SGN reader, Chicago State Sen. Donne Trotter worked out a plea bargain with local prosecutors that saw felony gun charges reduced to a misdemeanor.
Dems seem to forget they're carrying guns quite a bit.
Who believes this BS?
Answer: Nobody. String 'im up, just like he wanted.
Comments at the end of the article are great:

Ya, Really. Im packing, but yet I don't remember Im packing. I forgot I had an open beer while driving officer. Really, It would be like a cop going home, Taking off belt and gun changing clothes, putting on the hide gun they all carry, thinking nothing of it, an going out, only to get caught with it later. Two sides here. I feel if one is going to carry. You best damn sure remember that you are. Let him live with the laws he helped enact on the rest of us. Otherwise. PURELY IRRESONSIBLE OWNERSHIP.

he wanted this law, so i think he deserves to get the maximum punishment he supported.
throw the book at him and make him an example for others to consider before they advocate giving away their rights.

So what's the point of having a gun on you if you don't ever remember you have it on you?

If you forgot you were carrying a gun, you shouldn't have one.

I predict this guy has a future as a US Congressman. He already has the "I want to pass a law, but I should be exempt from it", down pretty good.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
Lock up the POS for life.
Evidently someone saw the gun on him but he himself didn't know he had it on him.
Color me skeptical. He damn well knew he had the gun on him. Being a Democrat he just figured the law didn't apply to him.
To be hoisted on one's own petard comes to mind.
I notice if I have my iPhone and keys in the opposite pockets I normally have them in, he damn well he knew he was packing. If some saw it, I'm assuming it was carried in the waistband. No way you don't know you have it.
Every so often I get a call to pick up the kids from school. If I'm already out somewhere I'll put my weapon in the trunk before I pick them up in the school driveway. (Still not legal, but I'm trying!)
If I'm already on the road I'll unholster it and shove it under the back seat. But dang well know that it is there!
Prosecute him to the fullest extent of his own law.
Strip him of his carry "permit". It's a FELONY, and he should go to jail - like he wants for everyone else.
If this is what he wants for everyone else, then it should be good enough for him as well.
Karma's a bitch, ain't it....
He who lives by the [un]SAFE Act, should be willing to die by the [un]SAFE Act.
That doesn't make any sense. If HE did not know he was wearing a gun, how could anyone else know?
...and he's probably right.
What State?
Concealed Carry permit holders in Virginia can legally carry their weapons on to school property in a vehicle as long as they either stay in the vehicle or secure their weapon(s) in the vehicle before getting out.
Of course, I still haven't figured out exactly how the law works when one rides motorcycle. It's not possible to secure a weapon IN a motorcycle, but Virginia also has a non-discrimination law regarding access by motorcycles to roads and properties which are supported by tax-payer funds.
It reminds me of an old Steve Martin joke regarding excuses for breaking the law:
"You simply say, I forgot -— I forgot armed robbery was a crime, officer."
When those around you have a better idea of where your gun is than you do, it might be good for you to stop carrying it.
Are you telling me at no point during this exercise did the guy think "Oh Crap, I have a gun." Nobody is that unaware. I think this guy let this go on hoping they wouldn't check him.
My thought exactly. He didn't want the felony that he pushed for.
