Firearms, Children, and Birthday Parties
I read a short article about Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville, TX that is offering birthday parties for kids. The owner, David Prince, is marketing the state-of-the-art, air conditioned, and indoor 24 lane gun range as a place for family-friendly fun. The requirements for allowing your kid(s) to shoot there consist of them being at least eight years old, tall enough to get over the shooting table, and that each child shooting have an adult present, either a parent or a safety officer.
I can see how some folks would be immediately alarmed at the notion of having a bunch of excited children at a gun range, but once the overly sensationalized media headlines fade from your imagination, it actually seems like it could be a really cool way to further teach kids how to safely handle and shoot guns; the most important lesson being to never touch a gun without an adult being with them. It will be interesting to see if Mr. Prince's business model takes off and we see a trend of other ranges offering similar family fun.
I'm not sure about a birthday party setting (though already having hearing protection on hand would be nice), but I know I would definitely take my daughter to a gun range at eight years old if it were available to us and she had an interest. Who else thinks this is a good idea, or who thinks it's a bad idea and why?

This Day in Country Music History – June 14
I'll be in for Chris Logan this evening for Classic Country Saturday Night. A good time will be had by all. Let's begin our trip down memory with a look at what happened on This Day in Country Music History.

Utah State is spending Friday traveling to UT Arlington and getting ready for the next game. So far, there's been no official word on whether recent leader Spencer Butterfield will be back.
What we know: Butterfield reaggrivated a hip injury on Thursday night that was already going to require surgery after the season. He was sent to the hospital to be checked out. The Herald Journal reported this morning that he was listed as "questionable" for the game and was walking around.
Let's assume, just for this post, that Butterfield will miss one or more games. There's some uneasy questions Utah State must answer to replace his production - essentially, who steps up?
Scoring • Butterfield was a revelation as a starter, averaging about 14 points per game after entering the starting lineup. If he's out, it's likely that a number of players will have to take more shots. You're looking at more minutes for TeNale Roland and Marvin Jean, especially, and both of those players need to sharpen up their shooting: Butterfield shot 49.3 percent, and Roland and Jean are a combined 39.9 percent with fewer field goals put together. Marcel Davis also needs to become more of a scoring threat, and specifically as a penetrator. Butterfield made a habit of busting defenses and making tough shots, and Davis (7.0 ppg) can take on more of that role by being aggressive.
Rebounding • A potential absence by Butterfield could leave a huge hole on the glass, where he averaged 6.3 rebounds per game for the season. It puts a lot of pressure on the frontcourt guys, Jarred Shaw and Ben Clifford, who helped Butterfield get a lot of his boards by boxing out the competition. It's hard to say whether Utah State can replicate that with other players, such as Jean or Davis. Roland had a good rebounding game against Louisiana Tech, so maybe he steps up his contributions with more minutes. Jordan Stone and Matt Lopez will need to win on the boards more consistently off the bench.
Free throws • An underrated quality of Butterfield's game is getting to the line. He led the team in free throw percentage, burying 56 of his 68 tries. Now, three of the top four most productive free throw shooters are injured (Jarred Shaw leads the team with 97 attempts). This relates to who will get the ball more under durress to take up tough shots. The Aggies will certainly rely upon Shaw more to score in the post, but others need to drive to the basket. The obvious candidate for this is Davis, who has taken 65 attempts from the charity stripe this year. He's only made 63.1 percent, so that number will have to go up for Utah State to have a chance in close games.
Leadership • If he's out for a while, perhaps the hardest thing to replace will be Butterfield's steadfastness in games and in practice. For the injury-stricken Aggies, he often was the toughest player on court. He scrounged for loose balls and rebounds and ran hard all game. Every Utah State player will have to assume some of this mantle. Self-accountability is the best tool the Aggies have to stay competitive in the face of overwhelming adversity.

Is it possible to lose weight put on during menopause?
Women gain weight during menopause because of the additional stress put on the adrenal and thyroid glands. A.Vogel Rhodiola Complex (Vital Energy) helps strengthen the adrenal glands, helps balance hormone levels after menopause, and lowers cortisol levels, which helps control weight. Cortisol suppresses thyroid function, so lowering cortisol levels helps restore that function.
The thyroid gland is very important in regulating your body's metabolism and managing your weight. To get your thyroid back up to cruising speed, take A.Vogel Thyroid Support.
Sometimes, doing one Boldocynara cleanse in the spring and another in the fall to "detox" your liver can also help restore your body's hormonal balance. A stressed liver can't control hormone levels as effectively as it should. If you've never used Boldocynara before, start with a lower dose to minimize any "cleansing reactions" you might have.

Q&A: Israel Vazquez!
By Alexey Potapov
Former WBC super bantamweight world champion Israel Vazquez (43-4, 31 KOs) is continuing with his recovery from retina surgery. Easily one of the most exciting and beloved fighters today, Vazquez has given an exclusive interview to Fightnews.com in which he talks about his plans for the future, a possible fight against Vic Darchinyan and more.
What's the latest news?
I'm doing good. I've been relaxing and trying to get better so I can get back in the ring and fight for all my fans.
Many fans of boxing were awed by your fights against Rafael Marquez. It was three entertaining and thrilling fights. Do you wish to meet him once again it in the ring?
Rafael Marquez and I made history together. We fought the greatest trilogy ever. I think we gave boxing fans all over the world something to cheer about. And I would most certainly do it again. We are both warriors.
What do these fights mean for you?
They are very special to me. As a kid I've always wanted to be apart of something as big of that magnitude. But to actually live through it is something I can't just put into words. But I'm very proud to be apart of it.
Which of them was the most memorable for you and why?
Well they are all special to me. But the second fight was a little more personal for me. After the first fight, there were people thinking I was a quitter and thought I was making up excuses about my nose (that required surgery). And I really took that personal. I wanted to send a message not only to Rafael but to the non believers. And I think I did that.
Manny Pacquiao has been successful in moving up in weight. Now in the press there were reports that you wish to move to another weight category. It this accurate?
I've been at 122lbs for about 12 years and with this long lay off, I'm considering to move up in weight. It's another option for me. As you have already said, there have been many great fighters that have made that transition in fighting at a higher weight class. I like to keep my options open.
Tell us about your next fight. When it will take place, against whom?
Right now we have no opponent or date. I would like to make a return by June or July. But it all depends once I get the ok from my doctor.
You have declared that you wish to fight with Vic Darchinyan. It this truthfully interesting to you? What you think about it?
I was there to watch the fight live between Vic and Jorge Arce. Vic did a tremendous job that night and proved to be a very good champion. Vic and I have a little history together since we have sparred in the past. And they were good sparring sessions. He's a tough guy and if we were to ever get in the ring I think it would be a good fight. I would be willing to fight him .
You have already proved you are a great champion. What other goals in boxing do you have?
Thank you. There are still some things that I would like to accomplish in boxing. For example, I've always wanted to be a champ at a higher weight. That's something that I would like to attempt before retiring.
You're high in most P4P ratings. Do you agree that Manny Pacquiao is at the top?
I'm honored to be considered in those rankings by the media and the fans. It feels good to see that your peers are recognizing all your hard work. I agree that Manny Pacquiao should be rated as number one. He's a great champion and has earned that spot.
With which boxers do you wish to fight and why?
I want to fight Rafael Marquez, Juan Manuel Lopez, and Vic Darchinyan. I want to fight them because it's what the fans want to see and they would be good challenges for me.
Who are your idols in boxing?
I've always admired J. C. Chavez. He was a warrior that I have always looked up to.
What your further plans?
Right now, just try to get better so I can get back in the ring. Like, my manager Frank Espinoza tells me. We are taking it "once step at a time."
Your wishes to your fans and readers of Fightnews.com
I want to thank Fightnews for this interview and I want to thank the fans for all their support. I truly appreciate your patience, as I get better. I promise you once; I get back I'm going to continue to put on great fights. I'm not sure whom I will be fighting at this moment, but I'm going to make them pay for this long lay off. I'm hungrier than ever.

Why the Pharma Pricing Argument Is Not Black and White
Pricing is a highly emotive and pressing issue in the pharmaceutical sector. Those who choose to ignore it, or sweep it under the table are sitting on a time bomb that could jeopardise the future sustainability of our health systems and the lives of patients.
Yet, this is no black and white picture that pits the "money-grabbing" pharmaceutical industry against poverty-stricken nation states. This isn't a tableau of illegitimate, high prices versus restricted spending limits. Nor is about the pill that takes 10 eurocents to make, but €50 to buy.
Far from it: this is a complex canvas populated by a myriad of hues and shades that reflect a variety of potential policies, societal concerns, economic considerations, elements of competition and, ultimately, value.
Biopharmaceutical innovation is not a tap that can be turned on and off at whim. Arbitrary price caps and other forms of cost-control founded on knee-jerk reactions to negative media coverage are not a solution. They could see innovation dry up, as firms leave particular medical areas that no longer offer rewarding incentives.
In fact, those who oversimplify this into an "us and them" pricing scenario are operating in a bubble and may find it difficult be part of the collaborative approach to a solution that is so urgently needed to address this situation.
As I said at the beginning, the pricing issue is emotive, but we have to be extremely careful that heart does not rule head. There is a plethora of arguments to support this statement, but there is little point in pursuing them here, when many have been captured most aptly in this guest post contributed to Forbes online by Robert Nelsen, Cofounder and Managing Director, ARCH Venture Partners Seattle.

Rare Brain Disorder Can Eliminate Fear
Scientists from the University of Bielefeld have found that an amazing condition can make humans completely unafraid.
Scientists have discovered a rare brain disorder that potentially eliminates all known notions of fear. The Urbach-Wiethe disease destroys the amygdala, a part of the brain strongly implied to be associated with fear processing. University of Bielefeld neurologists confirmed this after testing a series of fear-inducing activities on a middle-aged woman, codenamed "SM," afflicted with the disease.
Feinstein and his colleagues sifted through SM's past, looking for instances when she should have been scared. SM said she never felt fear, even when threatened with a knife or a gun. The researchers gave SM an electronic diary that she carried for three months to record her emotional state. Fear didn't make an appearance in the list of emotions. On a battery of questionnaires, SM wrote that she wasn't afraid of public speaking, death, her heart beating too fast or being judged negatively in a social setting.
Next, the researchers did their best to scare SM. They showed her clips from The Blair Witch Project,The Shining and Silence of the Lambs: She was interested, but not afraid. The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Haunted House in Kentucky didn't faze her. Instead of screaming, she laughed and poked one of the monsters in the head. The team took her to an exotic pet store with poisonous snakes and spiders. SM claimed to dislike the animals, but when she saw them she was overcome with curiosity, repeatedly asking to touch the snakes.
"What that suggests to us is that perhaps the amygdala is acting at a very instinctual, unconscious level," says Feinstein. "Without this area, instead of just losing your interest in things, you do the very thing that's opposite. She tends to approach the very things she should be avoiding."

Pellevé': Advanced Radio Wave Technology for the Treatment Skin Laxity
Although we may be in the midst of an economic downturn, we find that our patients are still searching for ways to look their best. First impressions can have a significant impact on your success in both the workplace environment and in social interactions. The answer may be Pellevé. Pellevé is a non-surgical, state of the art skin tightening system for eliminating wrinkles that is available through skin care professionals. This non-invasive procedure is used to tighten sagging skin, a common problem that accompanies the natural aging process. Pellevé delivers safe and quick results and is one of few wrinkle treatment systems with proven efficacy approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
There are many changes that come with aging including the development of skin laxity and wrinkling. Aging dermis demonstrates elastotic degeneration with the presence of a perivenular, histiocytic-lymphocytic infiltrate in which numerous mast cells, often in close apposition to fibroblasts, are observed. This "chronic heliodermatitis" is felt to be associated with mast cell-derived mediators and infiltrating inflammatory cells that lead to the breakdown of elastic and collagen fibers. This most likely represents the microscopic basis of aging skin.
Pellevé uses new advanced radiowave technology to heat the deepest layers of skin without causing any of the skin damage associated with sunburns and skin cancer. There is no anesthesia needed, because there is no pain felt during this non invasive procedure. Once heated, the collagen in the deepest skin layers contract, stimulating new collagen to be formed after the treatment. This newer collagen quickly creates a smoother appearance in the uppermost layer of skin. The comprehensive Pellevé treatment takes about 45 minutes to perform. This short time is possible because a Pellevé treatment does not involve any incisions or anesthesia.
Most patients request the procedure be targeted at the wrinkles formed at the corners of the eyelids, otherwise known as "Crow's Feet." Pellevé also is very effective in treating the wrinkles that stretch between the nose and the corners of one's mouth, commonly referred to as "smile lines" or "laugh lines." Candidates for Pellevé are healthy women and men. Most Pellevé candidates have fine lines on the face, or wrinkled or drooping skin. Pellevé is most appropriate for those with mild to moderate wrinkling.
The results include smoother skin, elimination or reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and the tightening of sagging skin. These results typically last a minimum of six months, much longer than many competing skin treatments. The main advantage of Pellevé is the fact that its results last a full six months. Also, the treatment is quick and painless, and the results appear immediately. Finally, as an FDA approved procedure, Pellevé is a safe option for those desiring a more youthful appearance with no downtime.

Khulna (Bangladesh), Nov 21: Bangladesh's Abul Hasan became only the second debutant batsman in Test history to score a century batting at number 10. He achieved the feat against West Indies on the first day of the second Test here on Wednesday.Hasan is only the second batsman to hit century on debut at No. 10. That too after 110 years!
Scorecard; Hasan's profile page
Hasan, the 20-year-old left-handed batsman, bowls right-arm medium fast. He reached 100 in the final over of the day at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium.
Today's 100 not out (108 balls, 13x4, 3x6) is also Hasan's highest score in first-class cricket. He had played only six first-class games and a highest of 61, his only half century before this.
Thanks to his unbeaten 100 and Mahmudullah's 72 not out, Bangladesh staged an unbelievable comeback from 193/8 to end the first day at 365/8 in 86 overs. Their partnership is worth 172 in 30 overs so far.
The previous debutant centurion at No. 10 was Australia's Reggie Duff who made 104 against England in January 1902. But his knock came in the second innings. So, for Hasan this is a new record, scoring in first innings.
This is only the fourth century at No. 10 in Test history. The other centurions are Walter Read (England) and Pat Symcox (South Africa) along with Duff and Hasan.
Test centurions at No. 10 (With Scorecards)
Walter Read (England) 117 Vs Australia, 1884
Pat Symcox (South Africa) 108 Vs Pakistan, 1998
Reggie Duff (England) 104 Vs Australia, 1902
Abul Hasan (Bangladesh) 100 not out Vs West Indies, 2012

Escar-Go!® Slug & Snail Control
Now, nature's secret slug control is available to home gardeners!
Product Details
Escar-Go! protects lettuce, tomatoes, chard, cabbage, squash, corn and other vegetables from slug and snail damage. For use around fruit trees, citrus, berries, ornamentals, shrubs, flowers, trees, lawns, gardens and in greenhouses.
Escar-Go! is a unique blend of an iron phosphate active ingredient, originating from soil, with slug and snail bait additives. It is used as an ingredient in fertilizers. The Escar-Go! that is not ingested by snails and slugs will degrade and become a part of the soil.
Escar-Go! is ingested by slugs and snails when they travel from their hiding places to plants. Ingestion, even in small amounts, will cause them to cease feeding. This physiological effect of the bait gives immediate protection to the plants even though the slugs and snails may remain in the area. After eating the bait, the slugs and snails cease feeding, become less mobile and begin to die within three to six days. Dead slugs and snails may not be visible as they often crawl away to secluded places to die. Plant protection will be observed in the decrease in plant damage.
Escar-Go! is effective against a wide variety of slugs and snails and will give protection to home lawns, gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, berries, citrus and crop plants. The bait can be scattered on the lawn or on the soil around any vegetable plants, flowers or fruit trees or bushes to be protected. Any that isn't eaten will degrade and become part of your garden soil. Naturally, you don't have to worry about secondary poisoning of pets or wildlife.
Evening is the best time to apply Escar-Go! because slugs and snails travel and feed mostly at night or in the early morning. Young garden seedlings and transplants are among their favorite meals, so they are particularly vulnerable. Healthy, promising seedlings can vanish overnight, and by the time you figure out what happened, the culprits are gone. Apply Escar-Go! particularly in damp places around beans, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, celery and squash and in other areas favored by snails and slugs: rockeries, hedges, dichondra lawns, home citrus groves, ivy and other ground covers, where they obtain shelter by day.
Scatter Escar-Go! granules on the soil around or near the plants to be protected. If the soil is dry, wet it before applying. Apply evenly at about 1 lb per 1000 to 2000 sq ft ( ½ to 1 teaspoon per square yard)
Reapply when you see that the bait has been consumed, or at least every 2 weeks. Apply more heavily if the infestation is severe, if the area is heavily watered or after long periods of heavy rain.
Escar-Go! protects lettuce, tomatoes, chard, cabbage, squash, corn and other vegetables from slug and snail damage. May also be used in the home orchard, in the berry patch, around hostas and other ornamentals and on lawns. In home greenhouses, may be applied to the soil in plant pots or around greenhouse benches.
Customer Reviews
Reliable Death to Snails
I have used this product for years to rid my vegetable garden of snails. It always works. A great product!
This product worked great. Dayton OH had a VERY wet spring and summer and slugs where chewing through my garden faster then the plants could grow and reproducing at an alarming rate. This product protected the young seedling this spring and knocked back the slug population. Awesome product I highly recommend.
This product works great! I highly recommend it.
Best stuff since sliced bread
This stuff is so awesome. Did anyone notice it worked for 2 years! I didn't use it last year, but just now noticed some babies on my hosta after the rains. I'm ordering some more now!
Dinner Time!
I love ringing the dinner bell, for snails and slugs that is. They ruined my lilies, gerber daisies and hostas until I found Escargo. Now I sprinkle this product and no more pests to destroy my beautiful plants. It's amazing how they are attracted to this stuff, it is truly like ringing the dinner bell.I see empty shells everywhere, and my garden continues to bloom and thrive. I love this stuff!
Saved my garden
The product Escar-go for slug and snail control works great. My garden was infested and everything would have been lost. They were on every vegetable chewing away. Great stuff!
Slug death pellets
This stuff is very effective. You need a lot though, because when it wears off its like the slugs were waiting at the gate and come rushing back. It is also more expensive here than in local stores.
U just gotta get this
This is the most fantastic working product I have EVER gotten. When I first moved in here, gardening was a horror an slugs so bad they crawled up on the deck to get to potted plants. After just one day, I could already tell a difference and by the end of the summer not a slug in sight. I believe in organic growing but was ready to turn drastic till I saw this in the Gurneys catalog and tried it, fell in serious like with it and continue to order it faithfully as needed for the last 4 years. [I haven't told my neighbors what I use till this year- I enjoyed all the compliments-and jealousy of my fellow gardeners for a bit] Thank You Gurneys!
I saw a difference in just one day in the amount of Banana Slugs around my vegetable garden!!! I highly recommend this product!!!
A miracle!
This product is wonderful. I have an organic garden but have been plagued by slugs, and none of the natural methods I've tried has worked... until now! It's not harmful to the enviormnent or to our furry friends and it actually works. I love it.

Minnesota law enforcement agencies to target ATV safety
Associated Press
May 26, 2005 ATV0526
DULUTH, Minn. -- Minnesota law enforcement agencies are launching an effort to boost safety for all-terrain vehicle riders next month.
The Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota State Patrol, county sheriffs, local police departments and ATV clubs announced Tuesday they will coordinate a "Safe Wheelin' Weekend'' June 3-5 to educate the public about ATV safety and to increase enforcement.
"We've done saturations before in a specific area. But this is the biggest thing we've ever done, the first on a statewide basis,'' said Lt. Dave Rodahl, recreational vehicle coordinator for the DNR's enforcement division.
ATV registration in Minnesota has increased from 12,000 in 1984 to 270,000 today. About 5 percent of Minnesotans own ATVs. About 15 million Americans own ATVs.
Since 1995, 114 Minnesotans have died and another 9,700 have been seriously injured in accidents involving off-highway vehicles, which include mostly ATVs, off-road motorcycles and four-wheel-drive trucks.
"It's unacceptable to everyone involved to have 24 people killed (and) another 3,000 seriously injured in Minnesota last year because of ATVs,'' Rodahl said.
DNR has reports on only about 340 accidents last year, but data from Minnesota hospitals compiled by the state Department of Health showed that nearly 2,600 people required emergency medical care because of ATVs in 2003.
"That doesn't include urgent care, chiropractors or doctor's office visits, so you know the real number of accidents is much higher,'' Rodahl said.
About 30 percent of ATV fatalities last year involved alcohol. Rollovers and striking fixed objects are the most frequent causes of ATV accidents in the state, the DNR said.
In one case, one juvenile in Crow Wing State Forest was issued seven tickets in one day last year, saying he "didn't care about the laws.'' In another, four men were ticketed for driving mud trucks in a lake in a state forest. A few hours later, they were stopped again and charged with operating an off-road vehicle off-trail in a state forest.
The "Safe Wheelin' Weekend'' is scheduled at the start of summer vacation for many students because the early days of summer can be especially dangerous when ATVs become "baby sitters'' for some children, said Rich Sprouse, DNR law enforcement division spokesman.
ATV club members will be at trailheads passing out brochures on safety and maps of designated trails, said John Knutson, vice president of the All Terrain Vehicle Association of Minnesota.
But Matt Norton, forestry advocate for the Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, praised the law enforcement effort but said one weekend won't change the ATV "riding culture.''
"The DNR didn't support simple solutions like doubling penalties for serious violations or taking away vehicles from repeat offenders. ... They wouldn't even support larger license plates on ATVs. These are things law-abiding riders shouldn't oppose,'' Norton said. "They (DNR) talk about enforcement, but they don't seem to be taking it very seriously.''
ATVs are increasingly blamed for causing environmental damage, especially erosion of the wetlands.
Riders say designating more trails on public land is the key to reducing injuries, but Rodahl says riders need to be responsible.

He is an amazing surgeon. My daughter has had two different surgeries with Dr. Liu for removal of adenoids and well as the removal of her tonsils. Both recoveries went very well and she was back to her normal self within the 2 week period that he told us it should take. He was very professional and put myself, my husband and most importantly my daughter at ease. So thankful for such a great doctor and treatment!

Very Happy
I was quite happy with my appointment. There was slight wait, but nothing major. I expect to wait at every DR. appointment anyway. His PA gave my an initial go over. She seemed capable and pleasant. Dr. Liu was great. He took an enormous amount of time to explain my condition and how the sinuses work, talking about the subject in very easy to understand language.

What I liked most about this doctor was that he spent the time to explain my medical condition in a language I UNDERSTOOD. I appreciate his patience and after having seen 3 other specialists, he was able to treat me. Thank you for your excellent care!

worried mom
Great appointment with Dr Liu. He spend the time to explain in detail the risks and benefits and alternatives to having ear tubes in my infant son. He took the time to answer all of our questions. His staff is efficient. Very caring doctor. would highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr Liu by my primary physician and one of my coworkers. I have been dealing with chronic sinus issues and allergies for a long time - and have seen a lot of other ENT docs back in NY, many of whom recommended surgery. Dr Liu was the first to really be able to explain to me why I've been having so many problems and worked out a treatment regimen that finally has things under control...without surgery!

Too bad the original doctor I was scheduled did not work and this office shifted my appointment to Dr. Liu. After waiting for a hour this Dr. Liu walks in with the biggest attitude and is fairly rude. Walks in circles around me and acts like he is gods gift to the world. Says some fairly rude things that you would not expect from doctors such as "you nose is so messed up". To top it off he mis diagnosed my condition! I will not be returning to this doctor, ever.

He was great!
I had trouble breathing out of one side of my nose, especially when I laid down at night to sleep. Another ENT surgeon operated upon me in 2011 and the symptoms returned in 1 year. My bacckdground information and general introduction to the practice was done by by Dr. Liu's PA who was courteous, professional and her upbeat and pleasant attiude just told me she was comleteley at ease with the confirdence and personality of her physcian. Dr. Liu reviewed my history, showed geniuine interest and compassion for my problems and then expertly performed an nasal endoscopy. Then he reviewed my video record and showed me eamples of similiar problems from his teaching files so that I could understand where my problem fit into the spectrum of the disorder that I had. He discussed the options of chronic medical therapy, mini office procedures or a modern outpatient procedure which would preserve my normal ability to moisturize air entering into my nose so that I would not only improve my air flow but also be feel comfortable. He's a great docter with a quiet and personable degree of confidence.

I would not recommend this doctor
I do not feel confident with the integrity of the practice in this office. There is an overall air of egotism there, even with the audiologist who upon being asked a question, she responded as though I was questioning her abilities, e.g. "I've been doing htis a long time," when really the question I asked was for the betterment of my understanding. I don't believe my test was accurate, either (I passed with flying colors and perfect hearing, which I know to be a tad false). With respect to the doctor himself, Another reviewer described Dr. Liu as condescending and rushing through the appointment. Unfortunately, that was my experience as well. He checked up my nasal passages for any congestion that could cause an ear problem, but he never once even bothered to look in my ears themselves. I asked him a question about I can't remember what and the reaction was the same as with the audiologist, albeit far less sanguine: he acted as though the question was an imposition and a questioning of his ability. It's as though there was this weird curt-anger trip. I think it's one of those situations where he's so booked with patients, he just doesn't care; I don't know. Essentially, though, I feel as though I wasted an appointment, i..e money, and certainly would never go back to him.

All down hill now.
Unfortunately, Dr. Liu started off as a great doctor, but now you can only see his assistant (who is NOT a doctor) and she is horrible. She is curt and has misdiagnosed me every time I go in there begging for an answer. His assistant told me it was okay to fly - I flew and my eardrum semi-burst and now I have a bad ear infection. Today I FINALLY saw an amazing ENT and he told me after looking at all of Dr. Liu's tests and scans that I had a botched nose job, cannot breath properly and that I have polyps in my sinuses. He put something on my nose that opened up, so I can now breath!!! In short, do research and find a better doctor than Dr. Liu. I am not even sure about his surgical techniques. My son had ear tubes put in by him and they never fell out, so he had to have a second surgery. This is a very rare event and shouldn't happen.

4 stars
Fantastic experience all around, which says a lot, considering that we were there for an in office surgical procedure for our 1 mo old son. Dr Liu was extremely thorough and explained everything very well to us anxious parents. We weren't hurried out of the office even though they were closing for lunch. Office staff was great as well. Amazing service made even more impressive considering that we were there during the week between xmas and nye.

Not Happy
I have had multiple visits with Dr. Liu and have to say overall I am not particularly pleased. He seems impersonal and makes me feel like my visit is an inconvenience to him. He is constantly rushing through my visits and questions.

Need to learn bedside manner
After waiting 2 weeks to get an appointment with Dr Liu, I was completely disgusted with him. Dr. Liu is very condescending and he constantly rolled his eyes at me when I didn't understand what he was saying. He seemed to be in a rush to see other patients, which is fine, but I only spent 8 minutes with him. He did not address my main concerns, he just told me to try an over the counter medicine and call me in a few weeks. When I asked him for a brand, he said ask the pharmacist. Why should I ask the pharmacist at Walgreens when the doctor is here! It was infuriating. I've never had a doctor roll his eyes at me. Luckily I am young and can understand him, but I feel for older patients who don't get his fast and demeaning. speech. I would not recommend him, but then again, he may be the only doctor on your HMO.

I want some website like Tumblr. The matter is not about the features of Tumblr. The matter is traffic. Let me clear.I have set automated posting to tumblr. Every time when a new post publish to my website(my website is about hollywood gossip) it automatically post to the tumblr with linkback to my website. I get some traffics (about 30-40 visitors) per day from tumblr blog. This traffic is very fast and I get this traffic from the first day of my automation setting. I noticed from my analytic people found my blog post from the tags. If you know some other website like Tumblr to get instant and quality visitors please tell me. Please don't tell about Facebook, Twitter or other huge popular social media sites. Because those don't work for me. I do the same automation for faceboook and twitter (several facebook account and 1 twitter account).

I love: http://wp-rocket.me/ Best around
Maybe they should use their own plugin, cuz their site is loading very very slow over here
According to google it's best to place little needed CSS as inline CSS.https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/OptimizeCSSDelivery
Inline CSS is not so bad – performance wise it's way better than using javascript tricks or some PHP trick to include a dynamic stylesheet.
They don't deserve a higher price – cmon, this is too simple. They already make a very, very good profit with just packing a lot of shit in their themes.
You know what prices should be raised – any well thought through good niche theme, big or small – doesn't matter – with good unique features, those should get a higher price.
Not some mega-purchased-pack-multi-crap
You know what else should get higher prices – good plugins on codecanyon. Hell i see plugins over there that are so extensive, some 'big' WP theme doesn't even come close to that – and then the plugin is priced like what? 15 bucks? PFFF, talking about wrong price relationships.
Theme- 'builders' are getting way too greedy nowadays while truely, they're providing crap – really crap, with just a ton of purchased premium plugins.
I've said it before – 9 out of 10 normal people can't work with these themes out of the box – too many options and plugins, so higher price? Not if it was up to me
tommusrhodus said
CPTs should be in a plugin, template files should be in a theme. It does not matter that moving to another theme means that the CPTs will be displayed using index.php and single.php, the point is that there will be no data loss, which is the main point here.
Allthough i agree these things should be in plugins, i've seen this incorrect statement too many times.
Wheither you put custom post types into a plugin or directly in the theme's functions.php file – data is always stored in the database no matter what file is registering the post type.
The data is not lost when switching theme – only thing is the post type is not registered so the data won't be accessible through the admin.
It's just a technicality i know But it's not about data loss – it's about data access ( inside the admin panel )
I even think there's a higher chance you lose custom post type data when it's registered by a plugin – because a plugin could have some deactivate- or delete action on it which deletes his data when deactivating or deleting the plugin.
BUT – nonetheless: It should be in a plugin because this way most functionality keep intact while switching theme.
Thanks for the heads up! I will keep an eye on it
I found the following modification to the Kloon library:https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/issues/6174
Now it all seems to work
Yes i have.
I have it working now with a custom call using the Kloon library.
$product = array( 'sku' => '100001', 'title' => 'Superduper product', 'type' => 'simple', 'regular_price' => '21.50', 'description' => 'Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.', 'short_description' => 'Short description for product', 'categories' => array( 'testcat', anothercat' ) ); return $this->_make_api_call( 'products', array( 'product' => $product ), 'POST' );
It is creating the product well – but i still get the following error returned:
Warning: rawurldecode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in class-wc-api-client.php on line 465 stdClass Object ( [errors] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [code] => 201 [message] => cURL HTTP error 201 ) ) )
probably because this library isn't updated for v2 yet or something..
Any suggestions? Or maybe some other easy PHP auth rest client to use for api calls…
I'm trying to figure out how to create a decent API call with PHP to create a product.
I've used the client ( https://github.com/kloon/WooCommerce-REST-API-Client-Library ) before, but it does not yet support POST/PUT methods.
But i figured this should be easy to add for myself – but no luck yet..
Anyone got some pointers?
jremick said
We're actually very much okay with authors promoting their items. The issue arises when authors are promoting the inclusion of something additional (beyond the Market item itself) on the condition of purchasing the item. (ie. if you buy my item, you also get…)
Seems in this case the author(s) didn't place such promotion on the item page here on TF – so, ( just to be clear ) if they place something like that on their own website then there's no problem right? If you for example say: "Get this goodie for free with your TF purchase code"
Whether you provide additional support or some download goodie makes no difference.

(Books) Urban Interventions: Public Art In A Post-Graffiti World
Die Gestalten's book explores the world of public art.
From Christo and Jean-Cleaude's wrapping of buildings to Graffiti Research Lab's LED assaults, artists often intervene with the urban landscape outside of the boundries of traditional street art. In a post-graffiti culture, how an artist is able to garner attention in a meaningful and speculative way is as simultaneously difficult as it is perhaps one of the best times for such an endeavor. That is, they have to compete with advertising, architecture, shortened attention spans and overall visual saturation, but these issues offer a wealth of critique. This is where Die Gestalten's Urban Interventions book takes off:
Evolving from graffiti and street art, urban interventions are the next generation of artwork to hit public space. Using any and all of the components that make up urban and rural landscapes, these mostly spatial interventions bring art to the masses. They turn the street into a studio, laboratory, club, and gallery. Modified traffic signs, swings at bus stops, and images created out of sand or snow challenge us to rediscover our environment and interact with it in new ways. The work is an intelligent and critical commentary on the planning, use, and commercialization of public space.

A cameraman who made anti-Semitic comments while filming a Jewish wedding was criticised today by another London couple who used his company for their big day.
Videographer Anthony Aurelius was exposed last week after he sent Stan Gocman and Claudia Ressler footage from their wedding including comments such as "I don't think I blame Hitler (for the Holocaust)" and criticism of the bride's appearance.
Now Stuart and Holly Blair, of Kennington, have told how Mr Aurelius's company ruined their wedding video.
The couple said it was a "complete joke" from the moment the cameraman arrived late at their wedding in Petersfield, Hampshire in July — missing Mrs Blair, a 32-year-old nurse practitioner, coming down the aisle. He then stumbled into tables, stared into the camera lens and knocked over a lantern during the best man's speech.
The couple paid £700 for a "bronze packaged video", which was supposed to include six hours of unedited footage and four DVDs of edited footage. Instead they received just unedited footage featuring "jumpy" camera work, random stills of strangers and more than 10 minutes of a duck pond.
Mr Blair, a 31-year-old IT consultant, said: "He had left the lens cap on but also hadn't turned the camera on. We thought he would at least have the audio. But then the sound and video suddenly jump on, he missed about half the ceremony.
"There are some lovely long shots of the wall and the ceiling, the backs of people's heads and the lighting's off."
When they got back from their honeymoon they received a "striking off" form, signed by Mr Aurelius, along with a solicitor's address.
The solicitor had not dealt with Mr Aurelius for years and when they got through to Mr Aurelius — through his old manager from when he was a "fitness instructor to the stars" — he said he had been forced to close the business.
Although the couple could claim the cost of the video on their wedding insurance, Mr Blair said they would have to pay to have the footage edited.
He added: "The worst bit of it all was the way that Anthony, the company director, handled the company going down. He's basically tried to disappear from it all."
Mr Aurelius did not respond to requests for comment.

Three garden cities containing more than 15,000 homes are set to be constructed in a bid to deal with the housing shortage, Nick Clegg has unveiled.
The deputy prime minister, speaking at a media conference, said the three cities will be located between Oxford and Cambridge on sites yet to be identified.
Funding from an existing £2.4bn pit will be made available and the government has published a prospectus inviting bids from local authorities.
It comes after 109,370 new homes were completed in England last year, the lowest figure for four years.
The plans echo post-war town planners who created 27 new towns across the UK in the 1940s, such as Corby, Harlow, Milton Keynes and Peterlee.
Mr Clegg said: "The average first-time buyer is now over 30. Home ownership is falling for the first time in a generation.
"Once, owning a home was a dream that most people would achieve one day. Now that dream is becoming increasingly like a pipe dream for many young people.
"We have got to do more to tackle Britain's chronic lack of housing, and to build high-quality homes in thriving new communities."
The prospectus invites councils to put forward their own ideas for how they wish to develop garden cities, how they would use the funding and what else they can offer to make 'ambitious new garden cities a reality.'
Last month Chancellor George Osborne announced funding for a garden city in Ebbsfleet, Kent.
In London brownfield site Battersea Power Station is being turned into a new high street and city, while thousands of new houses are being created in Vauxhall and Nine Elms.

Dragon Age 3 - Team Seconded to SWTOR?
by Dhruin, 2012-05-08 22:11:00
Take this with a grain of salt but market analyst Michael Pachter believes a "significant portion" of the Dragon Age 3 team was moved over to SW: The Old Republic to help boost end-game content, delaying DA3 into 2014. From GamesIndustry.biz:
Dragon Age III appears to have slipped to FY:14. We had previously expected the next Dragon Age to be released in Q4:13, two years after its predecessor. However, we believe that a significant portion of the BioWare team responsible for the game was reassigned to Star Wars in order to create content and fix bugs to keep the game's audience engaged," Pachter commented.

I've seen it demonstrated in state court in Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma in cases I was personally involved in, as well as in a federal courtroom in San Antonio, Texas as far back as 1989 during a notorious organized motorcycle gang trial in which there was a defensive shooting by a prosecuting AUSA.
Here in Texas, it is often taught or explained in CHL classes.
Finally, the incident in question occurred here in Texas. We have zero duty here to retreat and a knife is absolutely considered a deadly weapon and qualifies as use of deadly force. Had the OP drawn and fired with the would-be assailant at or less than 15 feet away, there isn't the jury in this state--even in Austin--that would convict him. Furthermore, I doubt--based upon my own long ago experience--that there is the grand jury in any of the counties that would hand down an indictment.

At 15 feet..............see the knife............ draw the gun............if he doesn't halt when told, then It's On.
I realize there were 2 of you but a drawn knife at 15'-0 is a huge Threat............glad he decided to leave.
I personally don't know if I would have done anything different. You had maybe what, fifteen seconds during the entire chain of events? Lots of people here will opine on what you should have done, and it's the same advice that you have probably already thought of when replaying facts in your head. But when it's real, staring you in the face, it's a different situation, especially for those who are not trained to handle threats (i.e., non-LEO's, etc.).
Anytime you can deter a threat while keeping your weapon holstered is a success.
Dont play with context Mike. The two incidents are completely different. If in FL T would of had a knife, and Z shot him, no case would have been brought. We both know this. In the incident described, the victim would have been justified in shooting the BG to the ground, and most likely would not face any charges at all.

Calling Jared, Chad, and other M62tu owners (non e36 content)
Hey guys, I'm going to look at an x5 tomorrow with the M62tu (2000 with air suspension and auto) and I'm wondering if you have opinions about it. Specifically, cost and major problems. I'm worried about the valley pan gaskets and cooling system problems. I don't know much about the air suspension either....
Chad is this the same suspension as the Rover had? If so did you ever get air suspension inactive codes? Also, this is the same motor the Rover had.... did you have timing guide problems, vanos rattles or anything else?
The car is question has 146000 miles, owned by a real-estate agent for majority of its life.
Thanks for the helps!!!
I had Rovers designed before the involvement, very different engine, but I've had my share of M62s and have a pair in my driveway add we speak. :rofl:
The timing chain guides usually last to around 200k. Vanos seals are likely going to need doing and don't look as fun as M52s. Valve cover gaskets and valley pans leak like they were designed to be fluid passages.
146k Realtor miles is a lot of city and start-stop driving. Don't know anything about the EAS on E53s.
Sent from my LG Revolution 4G using BimmerApp
Hrm.... is it something you would take on for a wifey car? I want something fairly reliable, but not tooo expensive on parts...
If it were an m54 i wouldn't think twice about picking it up.....
Two part answer.
1) Yes, absolutely. I'd love to get an X5 for Brittany as a DD and she likes them too, or at least she did before her Suburban kick.
2) Look at my history of cars. What cars have I owned that aren't incredibly maintenance intensive? I'm probably not a good reference point.
Sent from my LG Revolution 4G using BimmerApp
True.... Well I will update tomorrow....:)
Hoping to see you put one in the driveway! One note, Brittany found the SUV really helped her back rather than stooping over to latch the car seats into a sedan/wagon.
Sent from my LG Revolution 4G using BimmerApp
Oh thats good, we have a toyota highlander right now, but I'm looking to down grade and free up some cash. We will definitely stay with an SUV though :thumbup:
Why not look for a 3.0 X5 if you're worried about the heavy maintenance of the v8? Ashlin loves her 3.0 and they are cheaper than the v8's...atleast around here.
I've been very lucky with my X5, but it's an N62. I'm pretty scared of valvetronic in general, but it seems to be fine for now.
I see air suspension problems on xoutpost all the time, but mine are fine. Most people like us simply replace it with springs and deactivate the air system once it goes bad.
I've spoken to a few 3.0 X5 owners, and they actually get worse mileage than I do. I think because the engine has to work harder to move the truck, and folks tend to drive the piss out of them all the time. I baby mine just to keep gas expenses down, but I blip the throttle when I need to maneuver.
The automatic transmission is another beef. I think we're all well versed with the issues here, so I won't go into detail. Mine exhibits a kind of clunk/lurch, but only if you slam the throttle hard after a full/rolling stop. I've learned how to prevent it simply by being smooth and light on the pedal. Mine is the better 6-speed, though, which probably accounts for some of the better mileage, too.
Anyway, they're great vehicles and I'm very pleased with mine. Especially the interior. I do keep having to get into the door panels to fix the damn regulators/window carriers. I have it down to about 20m though, so it's not so bad.
If you can swing it, get a 4.6is. They can be had for 11-13k.
What kind of mpg you get?^
Last long trip (LA) was 28mpg. I can get 26 if I use the sprint method (after checking an overpass, accelerate to as fast as you care to, safely, then decelerate back down to ~75-80 for the next overpass), which is still pretty amazing.
Most around town stuff (10mile commute, plus an SF/SC trip tossed in) yields 21-22.
When I really hammer on it I expect nothing more than 18.
OBC and verified via fuel log.
It's gotta be the transmission. I can cruise on the highway under 2k rpms in 6th.
I'm guessing it's a combination of the N62, and the 6 speed overdrive.
I can guarantee right now you're not going to get anywhere close to that kind of mileage with a 4.4 M62+ 5spd.
Sent from my LG Revolution 4G using BimmerApp
How many miles on yours?
Just about 105k. I bought it 9/2011 with 82k.
Thing is a freaking champ. I always feel better when I get inside.
I always felt a heated steering wheel is over the top unnecessary, but man it's awesome when it's cold outside. Even for just a short while to get it up to temp is great. Little things like that make a difference all told. I'm still finding little awesome features like that.
Alan, what is it with you and wood trim?
:( for realz I may cover this wood instead of removing it like i did in the ///M
:( for realz I may cover this wood instead of removing it like i did in the ///M
:stickpoke I had to :)
So jealous. I would love to own one of those.
It may not be right, but if you dont mind me asking, could you PM me the price?
In the market for another car in a little and want to know what kind of deals are out there.
Congrats. Set aside some money to work on the transmission when it fails.
Yeah I know :eek: This trans seems to be functioning perfectly for now :)

Jolt Cola Energy Drink
Jolt Cola made its debut in 1985 claiming it had "twice the caffeine of a regular cola".
Jolt Cola does indeed have exactly twice the caffeine of Coca-cola classic (on a per ounce basis). However Jolt has now increased its can sizes up to 23.5oz
How much caffeine does JOLT have? JOLT has the most caffeine out of any soft drink available. We are the CAFFEINE MACHINE. We know that caffeine is what gets you going, so if you drink 16 oz. of JOLT - that is equivilant to 2 cups of coffee or 2 Mountain Dews. We have 72 mgs of caffeine per serving. We are your wake up call.
UPDATE Jun 2007: Jolt has increased caffeine levels: now to 79mg per 8oz -- and 220mg in the 23.5 oz can.
UPDATE November 2008. Jolt has increased caffeine levels to 280mg for 23.5oz and 190mg for a 16oz can.
As well as the regular cola flavor, Jolt has experimented with other flavors such as Cherry Bomb, Jolt Ultra (diet version), Jolt Blue (Raspberry), and Jolt Silver.
Jolt Cola is available in distinct cans that resemble batteries. The cans have resealable caps.
UPDATE 2014: It appears the only version of Jolt Cola is the 12 fl.oz. classic glass bottle.
Jolt also make Jolt Gum - a caffeinated chewing gum.

Brake recall
I'd like to know why I, a Scottish Cadillac owner, am treated so shabbily by the company?
Having received a safety recall about brakes I contacted the European customer services, to be told that unless I'm prepared to drive over 250 miles to my nearest dealership, no remedial work will be carried out to resolve the brake issue. Do Cadillac and GM have no faith in there other group dealerships to carry out work locally and liaise with Cadillac.
I'm not responsible for Cadillac's failure to penetrate the UK market.
I along with many other owners in Scotland feel cheated by the lack of customer care we have received, although I would praise the dealership Bauer Millet for their understanding and the European Importers for their concern that their hands are tied in respect of this issue.
Great sales technique Cadillac! This is bound to impress potential owners!
My apologies to other owners for my sarcasm. I've kept it to a minimum considering how annoyed and frustrated I am.

Re: Brake recall
What kind of car?
Re: Brake recall
Hi Jimmy
It's a CTS. The problem is the front brake hoses, not a big deal, but my service history won't show that the Cadillac recall has been checked if I don't drive the 10 hour plus round trip to the nearest dealer for them to carry out the work.

Re: Brake recall
You might need to post the year and the vin for Cadillac Customer Svc to check for you.
Re: Brake recall
In the hopes that Cadillac's customer care take notice of the difficult situation some British owners find themselves in regarding recall 09149 and my own problem, my car is a 2005 Vin number: 1G6DR56T050227544.
This is an issue dealt with over a year ago in the USA and I gather you guys got the option to send receipts for work carried out.
