I had a couple of questions which were answered very promptly and I received my progressive prescription glasses within two weeks. Thank you, I will definitely order again.Read more testimonials

Thank you for your help
They advertise as 110% lowest price match guarantee and they really beat others to the punch, I think I made excellent deal buying from them. I exchanged several emails with their customer service before ordering, had a great response, received the product within few days, much quicker then I anticipated, shades were well packaged....couldn't ask for anything more...
June 24, 2013
One common misconception that we often hear is that buying sunglasses online is impractical because eyewear has to be tried on to ensure that it fits comfortably and looks great. A pair of sunglasses is more than protection from the sun. It is a fashion statement. You can go from drab to 'fab' with the right pair, and no online store with a virtual try-on feature can give you a true sense of how a pair of sunglasses would look and feel until you actually try them on.
But that does not mean that you have to buy from a retail store, and pay retail prices for the sunglasses you want. And how often do you find those perfect sunglasses but have to wait because the store is out of stock or doesn't carry them in the color you want?
If you are planning to purchase from the stores above, you will most likely be paying top retail dollar, plus sales tax Those highly recognizable stores have high operating costs which they pass on to the retail customer. You are likely to receive great customer service, but their staff has not been trained in the specialized field of fashion eyewear, and often don't know their own inventory. Nor will any store carry the full inventory of a designer's line, causing you to search other stores in hope of finding what you want. Why go through all that trouble and still have to pay retail, when there is a better way! Imagine you can buy 2 pairs from us for the price you'd pay for one pair at these stores.
There are so called "discount" stores like the ones above, where you can find discounts on designer sunglasses, but they are on past season's models, and are likely to be damaged or in less than new condition. So if you are just bargain shopping, these places might be an option for you.
Why settle for last season's model, when you can buy the latest styles from us at deep discounts. Suppose you have your heart set on a pair of sunglasses you just saw in the latest issue of Vogue magazine where it says that they are available at Bloomingdales. You go to Bloomingdales but they do not have them available in the color you want. So you have an option to wait several weeks until they order it for you, or come to our site and get the same glasses for a fraction of the price and have them in your possession in several days - no taxes, no shipping cost, no driving back to the store, delivered right to your door!
Just take note of the first 2 series of numbers on the arm piece and come to our site. If you buy them here, you will have your pair of sunglasses sent to you within one business day. If you don't find them here, contact us and we will order them for you. It's that fast, and easy to shop with us. You'll be paying deeply discounted prices for the latest styles, you'll be served by our professional staff that specializes in the business of sunglasses, and our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee makes your purchase completely risk-free.
We work hard to ensure our customers receive the lowest possible prices. However sometimes we can miss a competitor's lower price. If you find a competitor with a lower delivered price, please let us know below.
Please fill out the form below and we will get back to you within 1 business day. If the price requested is lower than the one provided here we will match the price and give you $20 discount that you can apply to your next purchase with us.

Have you received an eviction notice in Islandia, New York (NY) and need to know your legal options?
- Have you received an eviction notice?
- Have you been threatened with an eviction?
- Are you concerned you might be evicted?
Witkon Law can help you.
The lawyers here at Witkon Law have helped others in the Islandia community deal with the incredibly unfortunate scenario of defending an eviction. The thought of being evicted from your home can be intimidating and frightening, with all the legal proceedings and rules involved, or because of the uncertainty it can create. Because of the gravity of the situation it is our opinion that you consult with legal professionals.
If you received an eviction notice or notice of petition in or near the zip code 11749, give us a call. We offer one free and confidential consultation. We're ready to fight for you.
Tenants in Islandia, NY, or near the zip 11749 have rights and there are ways to fight an eviction
You're a tenant and you have tenant rights. There are eviction laws intended to protect you. Witkon Law landlord and tenant attorneys are the legal experts you need.
- Were you served an eviction notice because of nonpayment of rent?
- Did you violate or break the lease or rental agreement?
- Are you looking for eviction help?
There are several grounds for a landlord to evict a tenant in Islandia, but the two most common categories are: (1) non payment, and (2) violation of lease agreement.
How to fight an eviction in Islandia, New York
We don't recommend that you fight an eviction on your own, or by reading an article online; however we've crafted this page so you can see that there is eviction help available for you, that we've helped others in your community, and that we can help you if you call for a free and confidential consultation.
There are ways to fight eviction notices but they are specific to each scenario. What does your lease agreement look like? Did you pay the rent on time? If not, how late was the rent and how often? Did you violate the agreement? What kind of violation was it?
And then there is the question of whether or not the landlord upheld his end of the agreement. Did the landlord maintain the property according to the agreement? Did the landlord communicate with you properly? Did you pay your rent are were still served with an eviction notice? Something this happens.
Are you late on rent and got served with an eviction notice but would like to settle or come to some sort of arrangement with your landlord? This is common. We can help. Let Witkon Law answer the petition and appear in court on your behalf.
If you've been served with an eviction notice either you or your lawyer must appear in the correct court, at the correct time, and defend yourself. If nobody appears on your behalf this could result in a default judgement against you.
Do you believe you're being evicted based on discrimination? This is incredibly unfortunate, but it does happen. There are federal laws that protect against discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, familial status, and disability. At Witkon Law we're familiar with exercising these laws on your behalf.
Are you a landlord and need to evict a tenant in Islandia, NY?
Witkon Law's landlord tenant lawyers are well versed in representing tenants and landlords. Please visit THIS PAGE to learn more about our landlord representation. Because our lawyers represent both tenants and landlords we know how to navigate both sides of the issue.

Getting Phooey to Run
This is very interesting. Getting this apparently simple proof of concept working is difficult for me. I've tried on Suse 10.2 and Windows XP. files I used on XP:
The recommended wxwindows 2.4.2 requires a wxhaskell dependent on ghc640. The problem is that arrows require base >=2.0 I could update Cabal to 1.1.7 using darcs etc. But I find no instructions on how to update the base-1.0 which comes with GHC 6.4.0. Even with instructions I think it requires a C compiler or more?
I use WinXP, GHC 6.6, and wxWidgets 2.4.2. I compiled wxWidgets and wxHaskell from sources. Conal 23:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Yes, this looks nice; I can report partiual success on linux. I was able to build using ghc6.6 on Fedora 5, using wxGTK version 2.6.3 (built from source) and then wxHaskell. Phooey examples ran, however titles (window and panel) did not appear correctly, nor did text output, e.g. on the "shopping list" example the "total" field remains blank. On checking the wxHaskell demos, it seems the problem is in there. User:Djd 04:54, 14 May 2007
Thanks for the report. I expected wxHaskell to take care of cross-platform compatibility, but I guess not. Hm. Conal 17:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just an update on this. On MacOS X, the slider stuff works, but the text widgets don't seem to notice any updates. Then again, I'm also using wxWidgets 2.6 (and you're using 2.4). Maybe it's related to that and not the cross-platform stuff. We'll need somebody on Windows to test in order to be sure. -- kowey 22:27, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
I got phooey working on Ubuntu 8.04 by compiling wxhaskell against the standard libwxgtk2.6-dev package. There are some problems, though. I tried compiling the standard shopping list, monadic style example with
- ghc -package phoeey test.hs -o test
The GUI shows up, but dragging the sliders doesn't cause the "total" field to be updated. If I instead do
- runhaskell test.hs
everything works fine, but the application crashes frequently. --Auders 13:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Adding additional compound widgets
Hi Conal, I am looking to extend Phooey to include a record editor widget, a record list widget, as well as a tree widget. The first two being based on Grid. This is so that I can continue my work on HGene. i.e. the record editor would allow users to edit Person records, the list widget would show the children of a person and the tree to allow them to view a tree of Persons. For the editor I have so far (in the imperative world so far)
-- List of field name, field getter, field setter
type EditorProps a = [ ( String, a -> String, a -> String -> a )]
-- Create an editor for 'a'.
-- Returns a grid, a means of reseting the record being edited, an extractor and notifier
mkEditor :: Show a => Window b -> EditorProps a -> a -> IO ( (Grid (), a -> IO(), IO a, IO () -> IO () ))
Is this in line with where you think Phooey can go and is this on the right track? Mark_Wassell
- Hi Mark. Your design looks good to me. I'd love so hear/see how it goes. Conal 15:39, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Conal, Take a look at Extending Phooey for what I have so far. Mark_Wassell
- Wonderful! Hey, I see you're using Phooey's Monad interface. Have you tried doing your extensions with the Applicative interface? I'm planning to eliminate the Monad & Arrow interfaces and just leave Applicative. I can instead keep Monad and continue to layer Applicative on top of it (
A.UI = M.UI `O` Source
), if there's value in doing so. Conal 14:53, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- Wonderful! Hey, I see you're using Phooey's Monad interface. Have you tried doing your extensions with the Applicative interface? I'm planning to eliminate the Monad & Arrow interfaces and just leave Applicative. I can instead keep Monad and continue to layer Applicative on top of it (
- I see your UI is defined recursively (
), which works for the monadic interface, but not for the applicative one. I don't even know what the interface for would be for applicatives. Perhapsafix :: f (a -> a) -> f a
. Conal 16:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
- I see your UI is defined recursively (
Hi, My first reason for using Monad was wanting to avoid conceptual overload. I have now tried it and hit the following problems:
- Since A.UI includes Source, I cannot see a way of returning more than one source as I was previously doing. I would like to be able to return multiple sources from a widget.
- I also tried the following
uiapp pd = let pers = showTree pd
in ((editPerson pers) `iPair` (showChildren pd pers)) <**> showPerson
And get *two* occurrences of the tree, one above editPerson and one above showChildren. In the world of my example 'pers' is the selected Person in the tree and editPerson displays the property editor for the person and showChildren displays the list of children for the Person. (This is obviously not really the case as pers is a lot more).
This does raise the conceptual question of whether my GUI can actually be represented in the AF style. Thinking about tangible values etc, is there a function which when made visible would look like my GUI?
Having said all the above this isn't a show stopper - I am quite happy with Monadic style. Maybe I can get the benefits of both.
Mark_Wassell 09:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Intermediate results and self-updating widgets
Hi Conal, I have been experimenting with Phooey for a little bit now. I think it is very cool how you separate the layout of elements and the wiring of which widgets affects other widgets, while keeping the library functional (as opposed to imperative). Thus, if I sound negative below it is just because I am playing the devils advocate.
There seem to be no easy way of representing intermediate results. For example, if you have apples, bananas, shovels, and spades. And you want to have two intermediate results, namely fruits and tools. I came up with the following program:
-- Have to make phantom1 & phantom2, otherwise the intermediate results are not shown. We also -- need to reference them from the last line in the UI-monad. basket :: UI (Source ()) basket = title "Shopping List" $ do a <- apples b <- bananas let fruitsTotal = liftA2 (+) a b phantom1 <- title "Fruit" $ showDisplay fruitsTotal c <- shovels d <- spades let toolsTotal = liftA2 (+) c d phantom2 <- title "Tools" $ showDisplay toolsTotal title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) fruitsTotal (liftA3 (const . const) toolsTotal phantom1 phantom2) -- The code below is not enough to show the intermediate results: -- title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) fruitsTotal toolsTotal apples, bananas, shovels, spades :: UI (Source Int) apples = title "apples" $ sl0 3 bananas = title "bananas" $ sl0 7 shovels = title "shovels" $ sl0 2 spades = title "spades" $ sl0 5
It seems to be more troublesome than it should be.
I was thinking that if we had an intermediate result widget defined as:
type IRWidget a = a -> Source a -> UI (Source a)
then we could make the basket program simpler. I have tried to do just that:
{-# OPTIONS -fglasgow-exts #-} {-# OPTIONS -Wall #-} module Examples.IRWidget where import qualified Graphics.UI.WX as WX import Control.Applicative import Graphics.UI.Phooey.Monad import Control.DataDriven import Control.Monad.Writer import Graphics.UI.Phooey.Imperative import Control.Compose -- IR = Intermediate Result type IRWidget a = a -> Source a -> UI (Source a) run :: IO () run = runUI basket basket :: UI (Source ()) basket = title "Shopping List" $ do a <- apples b <- bananas fruits <- title "Fruit" $ showDisplayIR 0 (liftA2 (+) a b) c <- shovels d <- spades tools <- title "Tools" $ showDisplayIR 0 (liftA2 (+) c d) title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) fruits tools apples, bananas, shovels, spades :: UI (Source Int) apples = title "apples" $ sl0 3 bananas = title "bananas" $ sl0 7 shovels = title "shovels" $ sl0 2 spades = title "spades" $ sl0 5 sl0 :: IWidget Int sl0 = islider (0,10) -- An output widget, which also returns a value -- -- However, it unfortunately do not allow recursiveness. Could be usefull for creating a -- sorted list. irWidget :: (WX.Commanding widget, WX.Widget widget) => MkWidget widget a (IRWidget a) irWidget layf mkWid attr initial mySrc = mkWidget layf $ \ win -> do wid <- mkWid win [ attr WX.:= initial ] src <- commandSource wid attr return (wid, (src <* attachSink attr wid mySrc, mempty)) -- Copied from Graphics.UI.Phooey.Monad commandSource :: WX.Commanding widget => widget -- ^ widget -> WX.Attr widget a -- ^ attribute -> IO (Source a) commandSource wid attr = fmap (dd (WX.get wid attr)) (commandNews wid) -- Attaches a Source to an WX.Attr (attribute) attachSink :: WX.Attr w a -> w -> Control.Compose.O ((,) (News IO)) IO a -> DataDriven IO () attachSink attr wid src = joinDD (sink attr wid <$> src) -- Makes a sink from an attribute sink :: WX.Attr w a -> w -> a -> IO () sink attr wid x = WX.set wid [ attr WX.:= x ] -- Better if it did not use read, but in stead read directly from the attaches source, as it would -- 1) not require that (Read a) -- 2) no risk that the value was not-readable (which make a runtime error). It could be not -- readable if the user wrote something in the textEntry or if the initial value was bad. -- -- We should properly also get rid of the initial value. It should just get it from the source. showDisplayIR :: (Read a, Show a) => a -> Source a -> UI (Source a) showDisplayIR = irWidget WX.hfill WX.textEntry (WX.mapAttr read (\_ b -> show b) WX.text)
What do you think of this approach? Is this compatible with the idea behind Phooey?
Also, how would you do self-updating widgets? For example a list that sorted itself whenever the GUI-user added a new element to the list. One should be careful not to end up with eternal recursion.
Also mutually recursive widgets could be interesting. I realise that you do some recursion in your examples, but that is not to the value of the widgets, just to there "limits" (e.g. how low/high can the slider go).
Mads 15:16, 19 August 2007 (GMT)
Hi Mads. I'm delighted to hear about your experiments with Phooey. You definitely ran into an awkward spot, and I like your solution. Below is another solution and then an explanation and a change I'm already making, about which I'd like your feedback.
You're right that the displays have to be part of the return value to work. Here's a fairly direct way to accomplish that.
basket :: UI (Source ())
= title "Shopping List" $
do a <- apples
b <- bananas
let fruitsTotal = liftA2 (+) a b
phantom1 <- title "Fruit" $ showDisplay fruitsTotal
c <- shovels
d <- spades
let toolsTotal = liftA2 (+) c d
phantom2 <- title "Tools" $ showDisplay toolsTotal
-- the grand total
phantom3 <- title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) fruitsTotal toolsTotal
-- and joing all of the displays together.
return $ phantom1 `mappend` phantom2 `mappend` phantom3
The problem is that a Source ()
is an important thing, so it must not be discarded. Since Phooey is a functional UI library, the displaying does not happen as a side-effect. Instead, the UI must yield the effect to be done, which is represent as Source ()
By the way, I wish (>>)
had a more restricted type, namely Monad m => m () -> m a -> m a
, so that it would be an error if one failed to make bindings like phantom1
above. Then at least the programmer would know s/he had to do something with the Source ()
Now for the API change. I want to make it more explicit yet that displaying returns something important and what is going on. Specifically, I want to use Source (IO ())
instead of Source ()
. I hope it's then clearer that a UI yields a time-varying effect, which is executed whenever it updates, rather than somehow happening. I like this change because it says what it means: a source of effects, not a source of ()
I'm intrigued with your question on self-updating widgets, and I'm not sure I understand it. It's easy to put up a UI with input list and sorted output list, having the sort function re-run whenever the input list is edited. I'm guessing you mean something more than that, right?
Finally, I'm very curious about your comment for recursive widgets, beyond my contrived slider-bound examples. Do you have a concrete example in mind?
Cheers, Conal 04:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
BTW, here's another form:
tools = liftM2 (liftA2 (+)) shovels spades
basket :: UI (Source ())
basket = title "Shopping List" $
do f <- fruit
showFruit <- title "Fruit" $ showDisplay f
t <- tools
showTools <- title "Tools" $ showDisplay t
showBasket <- title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) f t
return $
showFruit `mappend` showTools `mappend` showBasket
Conal 04:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
and still another variation, using something like your "intermediate result" idea:
ir :: Show a => String -> UI (Source a) -> UI (Source a, Source ())
ir str ui = do x <- ui
showx <- title str $ showDisplay x
return (x,showx)
basket = title "Shopping List" $
do (f,showFruit) <- ir "Fruit" fruit
(t,showTools) <- ir "Tools" tools
showBasket <- title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) f t
return $
showFruit `mappend` showTools `mappend` showBasket
Conal 05:01, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed something promising about these examples. The combination of returning pairs and then using mappend
on one of them looks just like what the writer monad hides. First, swap my pairs above,
ir :: Show a => String -> UI (Source a) -> UI (Source (),Source a)
ir str ui = do x <- ui
showx <- title str $ showDisplay x
return (showx,x)
basket = title "Shopping List" $
do (showFruit,f) <- ir "Fruit" fruit
(showTools,t) <- ir "Tools" tools
showBasket <- title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) f t
return $
showFruit `mappend` showTools `mappend` showBasket
If the UI monad were to incorporate a WriterT (Source ())
, then perhaps the pairs and mappend
s could vanish, and this example could come out looking like the following. (Note the lack of Source
in the type of basket
basket :: UI ()
basket = title "Shopping List" $
do f <- ir "Fruit" fruit
t <- ir "Tools" tools
title "Basket" $ showDisplay $ liftA2 (+) f t
Hi Conal,
I think the solution using WriterT (Source ())
is very promising. I find it succinct and readable. And we do not risk forgetting to tie the Source ()
's to the output.
Mads 18:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback, Mads.
Another thought: since each source is now used just once, this version may lend itself well to an AF (applicative functor) formulation.
basket :: UI ()
basket = title "Shopping List" $
title "Basket" $ showDisplay <**>
liftA2 (+) (ir "Fruit" fruit) (ir "Tools" tools)
One can go further, defining (for all AFs f
or just for some)
instance (Applicative f, Num a) => Num a where
(+) = liftA2 (+)
fromInteger = pure . fromInteger
-- ... more methods
-- ... more classes
(I've played this game several times. It works for most functions, but not (==)
What can we do with ir
's definition? Messing about with the new monadic version,
(m >>= \ x -> g x >> return x)
== (m >>= g `mappend` return)
ir str ui = ui >>= (title str . showDisplay) `mappend` return
I don't see offhand how to define an AF version of ir
without slightly breaking through the AF UI abstraction.
BTW, did you see my request on your user page?
Conal 20:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Conal
I can see from your examples that my intermediate result type is not nearly as necessary as I first thought.
Regarding the list, I do mean more than you suggest. Or actually less! I do not want two list widgets, I only want one. Whenever the user adds an element to the list widget, the list should sort itself.
An example may be good here. Letýs imagine that we have a text-editor and the user should be able to set the tabulator settings. E.g. if you have [5, 17, 20] then the first time you hit tabulator the cursor will jump to position five, the second time to position 17, ...
We could have some code like:
tabulatorPreferences :: UI (Source ())
= title "Tabulator preferences" $
mdo tabulatorList <- makeIntegerListWidget $ liftA sort tabulatorList
-- note the recursive use of tabluatorList
But given the current implementation, I think this will result in an eternal recursion.
Another example of recursion could be the command history in a GUI for an interactive interpreter, like GHCi. Every time the user hits the execute button, the command history should have the command added. E.g. the command history must take three inputs: itself, the command, and a button. We could have code like below. Note that I am using a button below. I do not know if this is the best way to implement buttons. I did not give it much thought, as I just made the button for this example, not as a proposal for how to make buttons.
interactiveInterpreter :: UI (Source ())
= title " Interactive Interpreter " $
mdo let -- When the button has been presses (and a command executed)
-- we need to append the command to the history:
commandHistoryUpdate hist cmd ButtonPressed = hist ++ [cmd]
-- When the button has not been presses we just keep the history as it is:
commandHistoryUpdate hist _ ButtonNotPressed = hist
commandHistory <- makeListWidget $ liftA3 commandHistoryUpdate commandHistory command commandButton
command <- stringWidget ýý
commandButton <- mkButton ýExecuteý $ ...
return $ commandHistory `mappend` command `mappend` commandButton
data ButtonState = ButtonPressed
| ButtonNotPressed
-- |Returns a button which can be clicked.
mkButton :: String -> ... -> UI (Source ButtonState)
mkButton ... = ...
I hope I am making myself clear :) Otherwise please point it out and I will try to improve my explanation.
BTW, I do not really like my "design" of buttons above. I think it would be better, if buttons could "transmit" arbitrary values whenever they were pressed, and not just their state.

Greg Vaughan dedicated to being a man of the cloth |
Greg Vaughan enjoys playing the holier than thou role of Father Eric Brady on Days of our Lives and says the character suits him just fine. "You know, it really does. I'm enjoying this role" Vaughan said. "And I am a religious person. After all...I come from the bible belt of the country (Texas)." The character of Eric was last seen on Days of our Lives about a 12 years ago, then played by Jensen Eckles (who now stars as FBI agent Dean Winchester on the CW's Supernatural). When the character left Salem, he was quite the "playboy." So who would of thought he'd return as a man of the cloth? |

Overview and HistoryIn Spanish the word "vega" means fertile plain or valley, a fruitful ground, or a meadow. In Cuba it means specifically a tobacco field, usually by the bank of a river. Both sound like places where you can make a lot of money, right? You can see why they chose it for the name of this gambling heaven in Nevada! Let the show begin!Geologically, Las Vegas is an oasis in the desert. Take a look at Death Valley, just 150km from Las Vegas. Although the Mohave desert is dry as a bone at present, it wasn't always that way. The oasis of Las Vegas was once a wetland full of marshy soil and plants complete with woolly mammoths slurping up the cool refreshing water. Archaeologists found the ten-thousand-year-old remains of a mammoth in the middle of a 1993 construction project. Surprise!As time went on, (this is geologic time here, waaaay before humans showed up) the marshes dried up and left only some underground water nestled in a valley that was easily missed. Native Americans knew about the oasis but it was a secret to the European travelers until the nineteenth century.The discovery of this little green stripe in the middle of the Mojave desert is credited to Rafael Rivera, who came through in 1829 en route to Los Angeles. His discovery of this watering hole made life easier for thousands of settlers who were going West in the California Gold Rush. The spot was originally labeled "vegas" on the maps, referring to the meadow in the desert. Around the year 1840 the name was changed to "Las Vegas" and there it has grown ever since.Here's a look at Las Vegas by night -- not bad for a little watering hole!By 1904 the railroad companies had begun extending tracks to this gold mine of fresh water. Today the Jackie Gaughan's Plaza Hotel stands on top of the original Union-Pacific train station -- the only station in the world located inside a casino. Where there are trains, there are working men and where there are working men, there are saloons. Where there is a saloon, there will be a game of cards and with that, GAMBLING! A frontier town sprang to life with sweaty men drinking, fighting and betting on anything they could think of.Nobody knows how many cowboys really had a gunfight in the dust outside a bar in Las Vegas' shimmering past, but in 1910 a strict anti-gambling law came into effect and stopped them all. It prohibited all forms of gaming in public places and for about three weeks everyone mourned the loss of their favorite pastime.That being finished, the illegal secret night spots took over and business as usual carried on. Soon enough the Nevada stage legislature realized how much money they were missing, via taxes on gambling, and the era of the big casino was off to a running start. The licensed gambling casinos now generate almost fifty percent of the Nevada state budget! Take a look at the Hotel Luxor to get an idea of what kind of money we're talking about here.Growing cities need water, electricity and jobs for people. In 1931 construction began on the Hoover Dam project to fill these needs by using the Colorado River. When it was finished, thirty miles away from the city, it was the world's largest concrete structure and the world's biggest hydro-electric power generator. This project kept money flowing into Las Vegas during the Great Depression and helped the city to keep growing.The world-famous Las Vegas Strip followed hard on the heels of the Depression and WWII. The Strip began as a two-lane highway you could follow from Vegas to Los Angeles. It turned into the site of a building boom for the next six decades and saw the arrival of such famous casinos as the Sands, the Riviera, Stardust and the Tropicana.They got a little competition from Atlantic City when New Jersey legalized gambling in the 1970's. The war was on to see who could make the biggest, flashiest and most opulent mega-resort around their casino. Stop in at the Belagio or Caesar's Palace to find out who won THAT contest...All of these, by the way, owe a debt of gratitude to the Flamingo Hotel, which beat them to the punch be thirty years. Reputed mobster Bugsy Siegel opened the Flamingo in 1946, launching one of the most celebrated of the early casinos only six months before being murdered. Viva Las Vegas!Bugsy's original idea of making a resort in addition to a Casino has now become an altered reality to big to be believed. Las Vegas now hosts hotels and resorts that are like a movie set with tourist facilities built into each scene. You can be a Pirate of the Caribbean, go for a stroll through the city of Paris, or spend the night inside the medieval castle Excalibur.And say "shush!" to the Sphinx for me when you're in Luxor, the ancient Egyptian temple.Getting ThereThe McCarran International Airport is the one for you, if you're not driving across the desert in a convertible Cadillac that has the horns of a steer mounted on the hood. Los Angeles to Las Vegas is a 300 mile drive which means somewhere out there, there's a person who's done it in three hours. Or tried.TransportationWell, it's mostly a driving city. There are local city buses connecting the suburbs with downtown, the normal interstate buses like Greyhound, and literally a thousand taxis. You can hop a train on the Amtrak line, but don't stand around waiting for the metro. And with Boulevards like this one, who would want to be underground?People and CultureLas Vegas has a language that's all its own and it lives in the casinos. There are some familiar ones you already know, like "high roller" (which is a person who spends a lot of money). But did you know that a high roller is the same as a "whale"? And how about "Dark", as in, no show. Dark Sundays means there are no performances, so the main marquee is switched off and the stage is dark."Comp" is short for complimentary or free, and if you're "in red" it means your name is highlighted with the color red on the guest list, because you've been comp'ed. And for the modern edge, "eye in the sky" means a hidden surveillance camera in the ceiling. Las Vegas is full of mirrors -- they make the room look bigger, they multiply the lights, and they make a great place to park a supervisory camera system. There's a saying that goes, "if you can't spot the fish at the table, you ARE the fish." Fish is an inexperienced gabler. Card sharks are the ones who eat the fish. Sharks might be using a shiner, too; that's what the eye in the sky is for. (Shiner is a little mirror a shark uses to cheat by seeing your cards.)Things to do, RecommendationsI've got a recommendation for all you young lovers out there... get hitched at the Chapel of the Bells! Follow it up with an intergalactic honeymoon on the USS Enterprise. Here you will find a full-scale replica of the control room of the famous star ship from Star Trek. Las Vegas may in fact be the world's biggest collection of surreal and odd places to explore, like the Borg chamber, another Star Trek household word.Have fun, stay hydrated out there, and don't forget to take some pictures from the highest location you can get to. Here's a shot of the volcano erupting at the Mirage Hotel.And lastly, remember the most important piece of advice there is:"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."Text by Steve Smith.

What Is Cancer?
Cancer is a scary word. Almost everyone knows someone who got very sick or died from cancer. Most of the time, cancer affects older people. Not many kids get cancer, but when they do, very often it can be treated and cured.
What Is Cancer?
Cancer is actually a group of many related diseases that all have to do with cells. Cells are the very small units that make up all living things, including the human body. There are billions of cells in each person's body.
Cancer happens when cells that are not normal grow and spread very fast. Normal body cells grow and divide and know to stop growing. Over time, they also die. Unlike these normal cells, cancer cells just continue to grow and divide out of control and don't die when they're supposed to.
Cancer cells usually group or clump together to form tumors (say: TOO-mers). A growing tumor becomes a lump of cancer cells that can destroy the normal cells around the tumor and damage the body's healthy tissues. This can make someone very sick.
Sometimes cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel to other areas of the body, where they keep growing and can go on to form new tumors. This is how cancer spreads. The spread of a tumor to a new place in the body is called metastasis (say: meh-TASS-tuh-sis).
Causes of Cancer
You probably know a kid who had chickenpox — maybe even you. But you probably don't know any kids who've had cancer. If you packed a large football stadium with kids, probably only one child in that stadium would have cancer.
Doctors aren't sure why some people get cancer and others don't. They do know that cancer is not contagious. You can't catch it from someone else who has it — cancer isn't caused by germs, like colds or the flu are. So don't be afraid of other kids — or anyone else — with cancer. You can talk to, play with, and hug someone with cancer.
Kids can't get cancer from anything they do either. Some kids think that a bump on the head causes brain cancer or that bad people get cancer. This isn't true! Kids don't do anything wrong to get cancer. But some unhealthy habits, especially cigarette smoking or drinking too much alcohol every day, can make you a lot more likely to get cancer when you become an adult.
Finding Out About Cancer
It can take a while for a doctor to figure out a kid has cancer. That's because the symptoms cancer can cause — weight loss, fevers, swollen glands, or feeling overly tired or sick for a while — usually are not caused by cancer. When a kid has these problems, it's often caused by something less serious, like an infection. With medical testing, the doctor can figure out what's causing the trouble.
If the doctor suspects cancer, he or she can do tests to figure out if that's the problem. A doctor might order X-rays and blood tests and recommend the person go to see an oncologist (say: on-KAH-luh-jist). An oncologist is a doctor who takes care of and treats cancer patients. The oncologist will likely run other tests to find out if someone really has cancer. If so, tests can determine what kind of cancer it is and if it has spread to other parts of the body. Based on the results, the doctor will decide the best way to treat it.
One test that an oncologist (or a surgeon) may perform is a biopsy (say: BY-op-see). During a biopsy, a piece of tissue is removed from a tumor or a place in the body where cancer is suspected, like the bone marrow. Don't worry — someone getting this test will get special medicine to keep him or her comfortable during the biopsy. The sample that's collected will be examined under a microscope for cancer cells.
The sooner cancer is found and treatment begins, the better someone's chances are for a full recovery and cure.
Treating Cancer Carefully
Cancer is treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation — or sometimes a combination of these treatments. The choice of treatment depends on:
- the type of cancer someone has (the kind of abnormal cells causing the cancer)
- the stage of the tumor (meaning how much the cancer has spread within the body, if at all)
Surgery is the oldest form of treatment for cancer — 3 out of every 5 people with cancer will have an operation to remove it. During surgery, the doctor tries to take out as many cancer cells as possible. Some healthy cells or tissue may also be removed to make sure that all the cancer is gone.
Chemotherapy (say: kee-mo-THER-uh-pee) is the use of anti-cancer medicines (drugs) to treat cancer. These medicines are sometimes taken as a pill, but usually are given through a special intravenous (say: in-truh-VEE-nus) line, also called an IV. An IV is a tiny plastic catheter (straw-like tube) that is put into a vein through someone's skin, usually on the arm. The catheter is attached to a bag that holds the medicine. The medicine flows from the bag into a vein, which puts the medicine into the blood, where it can travel throughout the body and attack cancer cells.
Chemotherapy is usually given over a number of weeks to months. Often, a permanent catheter is placed under the skin into a larger blood vessel of the upper chest. This way, a person can easily get several courses of chemotherapy and other medicines through this catheter without having a new IV needle put in. The catheter remains under the skin until all the cancer treatment is completed.
Radiation (say: ray-dee-AY-shun) therapy uses high-energy waves, such as X-rays (invisible waves that can pass through most parts of the body), to damage and destroy cancer cells. It can cause tumors to shrink and even go away completely. Radiation therapy is one of the most common treatments for cancer. Many people with cancer find it goes away after receiving radiation treatments.
With both chemotherapy and radiation, kids may experience side effects. A side effect is an extra problem that's caused by the treatment. Radiation and anti-cancer drugs are very good at destroying cancer cells but, unfortunately, they also destroy healthy cells. This can cause problems such as loss of appetite, tiredness, vomiting, or hair loss. With radiation, a person might have red or irritated skin in the area that's being treated. But all these problems go away and hair grows back after the treatment is over. During the treatment, certain medicines can help a kid feel better.
While treatment is still going on, a kid might not be able to attend school or be around crowds of people — the kid needs to rest and avoid getting infections, such as the flu, when he or she already isn't feeling well. The body may have more trouble fighting off infections because of the cancer or side effects of the treatment.
Getting Better
Remission (say: ree-MIH-shun) is a great word for anyone who has cancer. It means all signs of cancer are gone from the body. After surgery or treatment with radiation or chemotherapy, a doctor will then do tests to see if the cancer is still there. If there are no signs of cancer, then the kid is in remission.
Remission is the goal when any kid with cancer goes to the hospital for treatment. Sometimes, this means additional chemotherapy or radiation might be needed for a while to keep cancer cells from coming back.

When Carlos Ghosn took over as CEO, more than a decade ago, Nissan was bleeding cash and a lot of its products were forgettable, me-too copies of various Hondas and Toyotas.
Since then Mr. Fix-It—as he became known—has overhauled Nissan from top to bottom.
Now Nissans are praised for delivering value-for-dollar and generally fine driving dynamics, and the company makes lustworthy cars for motorheads (the 370Z, the GT-R), Capitalists (the entire Infiniti range) and even eco-philiacs (the all-electric, zero-emissions Leaf).
There's a dark lining to every silver cloud, though, and for Nissan it's the urge to build cars for the tattooed hordes whose ball caps have flat brims and who call me "dude."
Thus Nissan also makes the two most unsightly vehicles this side of the former Eastern Bloc: the cube (no capital letter) and this, the JUKE (all capitals). Every time I see it I think of a rhinoceros calf.
Then I climb in and drive away and am reminded that rhinos are unexpectedly agile animals. And their babies are actually sort of cute, or at least endearing.
No question that the Juke is right-sized for today's new reality, at least for drivers who don't schlep Little League teams around or tow horse boxes. (The Juke is the same length as a Mini Countryman.)
These rear seats are tolerable for two adults, so long as they're not NBA forwards, and you can stash a week's groceries inside the tailgate without having to fold them down.
The back seats, that is. By the way, the Juke does have rear doors; the latches are up there by the windows, where you can't see them.
Fuel economy that averaged only in the mid-20s was disappointing in a vehicle this size, even with all-wheel drive. (On the interstate we never even came close to the 30 highway MPG claims for the Juke.) All Jukes have a turbocharged 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine tuned for 188 horsepower and 177 torques.
These numbers make the Juke pretty lively. Dipping into the throttle squirts the car through traffic, while sensors and microprocessors keep a close eye on wheelspin and others kinds of slip & slide.
We've gotten accustomed to AWD systems that change the division of power between the front and rear wheels as needed, but this Nissan can also "vector" it from side to side, at least at the back wheels.
In hard cornering or acceleration we can feel the car settle down under the grip of the AWD; then the Juke corners nimbly and with less understeer than expected. The steering itself is quick enough to contribute to this deftness. The 2WD Juke is, of course, only pulled around by its front wheels, and it lacks independent suspension at the rear.
A 6-speed manual gearbox is available. The standard automatic transmission is a continuously variable type (no distinct "gears") with Sport and Eco modes.
Nissan says these settings also tweak the steering and throttle behavior. I can't tell the difference, but the CVT does perform well—certainly better than in some other cars, and there's no annoying whine as the car accelerates up to cruising speed. Like all Nissans, the Juke has a safety feature that lets the brakes electronically override the throttle if the driver mistakenly pushes both at the same time.
For 2013 Nissan offers three lines of the Juke, which it calls a "sport-cross" vehicle: S, SV and SL. Suggested retail prices start at about $21,00, $22,700 and $25,600, respectively, with shipping, for cars with front-wheel drive and automatic transmissions.
Ticking the box for that torque-vectoring AWD adds a grand or so to the price. Naturally, each model level comes with more gizmos, from a pushbutton moonroof to leather trim, Bluetooth and a USB port, push-button starting, stereo and cruise-control switches in the steering wheel and a good deal more.
Sport ($1,350) and Navigation ($1,170) packages are also available.
It's not a joke, it's a Juke. As the old saying has it, when you're behind the wheel, the ugly pretty much goes away.
And when you're behind the wheel at night, the orange lights atop the front fenders make you think you're piloting a shuttlepod from the USS Enterprise.
