Starizona Virtual View Rotating Visual Back for 3" Celestron SCT Thread
Virtual View - The Visual Back with a Twist!
Have you ever been to a star party with both kids and adults and wished you had an easy way to adjust the eyepiece for observers of all heights? Have you ever wanted an easier way to frame your astrophotos without fumbling around with the camera adapter in the dark?
With Virtual View there is no ring to adjust each time you move your eyepiece. The Virtual View replaces the standard visual back on an SCT and allows one-hand adjustments. The tension ring provides just the right amount of grip to hold your eyepiece in place but also allow it to move freely when you need it to. Virtual View eliminates the possibility of damage to your equipment if someone accidentally rotates the eyepiece to get a better view. The perfect accessory for star parties or observing at home!
Fits Celestron scopes that accept larger 3" visual backs including the C11 and C14.

It works perfectly. Rotation based on friction: enough to stay put and to move with gentle pull with either diagonal or eyepiece inserted. Can loosen or tighten friction with 2 long screws. The movement occurs by pulling on entire unit. Very well made and very convenient for my 14" Celestron. In my opinion it is an essential item for convenient viewing.

Introduction: Two Valentine Ideas for Under $20 Dollars
This is a cute way to spoil your significant other for 14 days leading up to Valentine's Day! I bought 15 items from the dollar store and a card for under $20 dollars. Each day starting February 1st I will give my Valentine a treat. (second picture)
Another idea is to use the candy as a candy bouquet using a vase and wooden sticks from the craft store. (first picture)
Step 1: Making Labels
14 treats
1. I used Microsoft Office to create 14 labels, one for each day. I made up a few cute sayings using pintrest for ideas.
2. I added pictures and changed the font to match my style then printed the labels.
3. I cut and taped my labels to my treats.
4. Starting February 1st, I will leave one of these "love treats" on his dresser before I go to work ;)
Step 2: Treats & Sayings
Day one:
Skittles- You're my pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.
Day two:
Babe Ruth- Thanks for going to bat for me.
Day three:
Reese Pieces- You stole a piece of my heart.
Day four:
Sweetart- You are my sweetie.
Day five:
Starburts- You are a Star in my eyes.
Day six:
Milky way- you are out of this world!
Dsy seven:
Rolo- I like the way you roll
Day eight:
Gum- I'm stuck on you!
Day nine:
Pop rocks- you rock my world!
Day ten:
Peanuts- I'm nuts about you!
Day eleven:
M&M pretzels- I'm in knots without you!
Day twelve:
Snack Pack- you're my snack pack baby!
Day thirteen:
Hot Tamales- you're my hot tamale!!
Day fourteen:
(On day 14 I have two items I will be giving my Valentine)
Snapple - You are the "snapple" of my eye AND Hot Buffalo pretzels- is it hot in here or is it just you?
Step 3: Candy Bouquet
materials: vase, wooden sticks from craft store, packaging tape, candy, styrofoam piece to fit in vase and tissue paper.
1. I used packaging tape to hold the candy on to the wooden stick.
2. I arranged the candy into the vase by pushing the sticks into the styrofoam bass.
This project took about 15 minutes

We all make mistakes. But some mistakes, particularly in high-stakes legal documents, are bigger than others. Take, for example, a lawyer's recent billion-dollar blunder, which, to the lawyer's massive relief, was erased by the court. Here's how to deal with the inevitable mistake in one of your legal documents.
For mistakes made in the drafting of a contract, the contract can be nullified because the mistake is a factor that may defeat mutual consent. In a classic case for reformation of a contract, the contract has been formed but a provision of the written contract contradicts the terms to which the parties actually agreed as a result of a mistake, e.g., a drafting error. The court in such a case has the power to correct the error by deleting the mistaken language and inserting other appropriate language if there is evidence of the parties' actual agreement. PG&E v Superior Court (1993) 15 CA4th 576, 593, 19 CR2d 295.
When it comes to a mistake in a court's judgment or order, the court has the statutory and inherent power to correct its clerical mistake to conform it to the judgment or order actually made. CCP §473; In re McGee (1951) 37 C2d 6, 229 P2d 780 (appellate court); Bastajian v Brown (1941) 19 C2d 209, 214, 120 P2d 9 (trial court).
You can move to correct a clerical error in a judgment or order whenever:
- A clerk enters an order that was not intended by the court,
- The court did not express its actual intention in the order it made,
- An irregularity occurred that made the order or judgment premature, or
- The court was ignorant of some fact that was material to its action.
A motion to correct a clerical error may be made at any time, even after the judgment or order has been appealed. See Culligan v Leider (1944) 65 CA2d 51, 56, 149 P2d 894.
On what to do about errors in contracts, go to California Law of Contracts §11.64 (Cal CEB 2007). On moving to correct a clerical error in a judgment or order, including sample forms, see California Trial Practice: Civil Procedure During Trial, chap 25 (3d ed Cal CEB 1995).

The Greenville lawyers of Hammack Law Firm have the experience you need on your side if you or a loved one have been hurt in a collision with a garbage truck. Garbage trucks are far larger and heavier than most other vehicles on the road. This means an accident involving one has the potential to cause far more significant damage than other collisions, and people can be much more likely to sustain injuries that have very long recovery times. Did you suffer a severe injury or lose a loved one in a garbage truck accident in the greater Greenville area? Do not wait another moment to retain legal counsel. The attorneys at Hammack Law Firm want to help you. Call (864) 326-3333 or contact us online to take advantage of a free, no-obligation consultation.
Do I Need A Garbage Truck Accident Lawyer?
When you have been involved in a garbage truck accident, one of the primary areas of confusion for most people will be determining who is responsible. A driver may have been at fault, but that driver's employer or the owner of the truck could also be responsible.
Garbage truck accident cases can involve governmental agencies, which may make personal injury claims subject to the South Carolina Tort Claims Act. You will need an experienced attorney who can help you navigate the complicated legal requirements.
The first thing that a lawyer will do to help you is thoroughly investigating your accident to determine the actual cause. The attorney can also preserve critical evidence and discover all of the possible liable parties.
Perhaps the biggest reason to contact a lawyer is that they can deal with the insurance company for the garbage truck for you. You don't have to let insurance companies intimidate you. You should avoid saying anything to any insurer, and never provide any recorded statement to a claims adjuster. It's a great idea to let an experienced attorney handle this litigation for you so you can focus on healing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garbage Truck Accidents
What should I do if I was involved in a garbage truck accident?
A garbage truck accident can be an exhausting and complicated experience. Your health should take priority. You should always make sure that you visit a hospital immediately after such a crash. Do not wait for symptoms to appear later. Make sure you get medical attention right away, so a medical record is created for that same day. It is also important that you contact the local law enforcement agency so you can have a police report relating to your accident filed.
Another valuable precaution to take at the scene of your accident is to use the camera on your cell phone to photograph everything at the scene of your crash. The more detailed pictures you take, the better your lawyer will be able to understand what happened in your accident. You should also ask people who saw the collision for names and phone numbers in case witnesses are needed to clear up any disputes over liability. Finally, contact a lawyer to walk you through the steps of filing your claim as soon as you're able.
What kinds of compensation could I be entitled to?
There is a good chance that your injury case will be resolved through a settlement. The insurance company is more than likely going to decide that a settlement is a more economical decision than taking the case to trial. Some cases will make it to court, and people could be awarded different kinds of compensatory damages, depending on the specifics of their injuries. Compensatory damages usually come in the form of economic damages and noneconomic damages. Economic damages cover tangible costs, such as:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Property damage
- Travel expenses for treatment
- Other financial costs
Noneconomic damages are far more subjective and generally do not have a quantifiable value. These awards could be for:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium
Punitive damages are also possible in personal injury cases in South Carolina, but they are incredibly rare because they must be proven by clear and convincing evidence that the harm was the result of a defendant's willful, wanton, or reckless conduct.
What is the South Carolina Tort Claims Act?
The South Carolina Tort Claims Act is found in Chapter 78 of Title 15 of the South Carolina Code. This act governs the procedure for all situations in which a person is injured because of the state, a political subdivision of the state, or an employee acting within the scope of their official duty for the state. The South Carolina Tort Claims Act places limits of $300,000 for any one individual filing suit over a single act of negligence and $600,000 recoverable for any single occurrence, regardless of the number of claimants.
Garbage Truck Accident Statistics
The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) said in an April 18, 2018 press release that 2017 solid waste industry fatality data showed 132 recorded fatalities, which was an 18 percent increase in total fatalities from 2016. The deaths included 94 members of the public and 38 workers on the job, and more than 75 percent of the incidents involved a private sector solid waste company.
Of the 38 worker fatalities in 2017, SWANA reported approximately 60 percent were killed during collection, 21 percent died at a landfill, and the remainder occurred at Material Recovery Facilities, transfer stations, and other locations. Of the 94 third-party fatalities, 57 were occupants of other vehicles, 23 were pedestrians, eight were bicyclists, four were motorcyclists, and two occurred at disposal facilities.
On April 24, 2019, SWANA reported that the 59 solid waste industry workers killed on the job in 2018 in the United States and Canada was an increase of 19 fatalities from the previous year. According to SWANA, struck by incidents were the most common cause of fatalities followed by collisions and rollover incidents, and these accounted for almost 50 percent of all worker deaths.

Persons with the autosomal recessive disorder Bloom syndrome are predisposed to cancers of many types due to loss-of-function mutations in the BLM gene, which encodes a recQ-like helicase. Here we show that mice heterozygous for a targeted null mutation ofBlm, the murine homolog of BLM, develop lymphoma earlier than wild-type littermates in response to challenge with murine leukemia virus and develop twice the number of intestinal tumors when crossed with mice carrying a mutation in the Apctumor suppressor. These observations indicate that Blmis a modifier of tumor formation in the mouse and that Blmhaploinsufficiency is associated with tumor predisposition, a finding with important implications for cancer risk in humans.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has specified how it plans to scrutinize the more than 100 banks it must supervise beginning November 2014. It said unified tests were needed to identify hidden risks upfront.
The ECB announced Wednesday it will put to the test close to 130 big eurozone banks over the next 12 months in order to prepare for its role as centralized supervisor as of November 2014.
Among the institutions the central bank is to scrutinize in its asset quality review are 24 German lenders, including Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank. The ECB said the unified tests were to unearth hidden risks in the lenders' assets and to make sure the banks had an 8-percent core capital of their own.
The probes, which begin in November, are to help revive trust in Europe's battered banking sector by aligning countries' definitions of bad loans and the quality and risk-weighting of specific assets.
Bumpy road ahead
"Our main priority is more transparency," ECB President Mario Draghi said in a statement, mentioning that the results of the extensive tests would be published in October 2014.
Analysts said the review would be tough, because the ECB did not want to face surprises once it had taken charge of supervising procedures and because no one wanted to repeat the mistakes of two earlier EU-wide stress tests that simply failed to spot all important risks.
ECB banking supervision will be the first leg of a wider European banking union. The second stage will be to find cross-border agreement on how to salvage or wind down lenders that ran into trouble. The topic has been highly controversial as policy makers have been at loggerheads over whether or to what extent taxpayers should shoulder the costs for ailing banks.

By Hernan Prados
Every September, tech enthusiasts stand in long lines, stay up late and even sleep on the streets to get the newest, latest, most advanced smart (insert name of devise here). Society has a technology addiction; every year there has to be a new phone, a new computer, or a new tablet. If you do not rock the latest iPhone or Smartphone, your ability to fit in might be in jeopardy, since your phone might not support the means of communications used by your peers. If your phone is not able to upload Snapchats or Instagram stories you might be left out. These are some of the reasons why people update their devices so frequently. Another reason is that devices are capable of doing more and more things nowadays, and people want the ability to do more things on the go or be more efficient while doing them. Ten years ago, the most common way to send an email or a word document was with a laptop, now this is all done with cellphones, or should I say smartphones?
The increasing pace at which devices are discarded in lieu of new ones is unprecedented, the question is, what happens with those devices we no longer use? The phone we used to use back in high school, the not so flat TV's where we used to watch the games on Sundays. Most of these devices are either broken or obsolete, unfortunately it is cheaper to buy a new one rather than fixing it. Therefore, people just order a new TV or a new cellphone and discard the old ones. This in turn, generates a significant problem since there is not enough space in developed nations to store all of these useless devices that have just become obsolete.
What normally happens is that all these devices get sent to so called "developing nations" where under the pretext that they are "used goods", the companies in charge of the disposal, save up the recycling cost by labeling the broken TVs, washers, fridges or phones as potentially useful items. The worst part is that all of this is legal. The impact of all of this is that while it is true that some of the devices are potentially useful, the overwhelming majority are just broken electronics that are sent to developing nations to store due to the lack of space in developed countries. I mean, that broken TV or fridge it took you and your roommates a while to carry down the stairs of your apartment has to go somewhere right?
Every American on average disposes of 29.5 kilos or 65 pounds of E-waste a year, that amounts to ten million tons for the United States alone. The problem is not the technological advances and how much technology has advanced, but the societal norm that when something is old or broken, we discard it, not seeing potential uses. In those land fields, there are people living off of what precious metals they can find on these electronics, mainly copper, gold, zinc and even lithium batteries. However, being a rudimentary process, those individuals are experiencing illnesses related with the contact of these metals due to the lack of sophistication in the extraction of the materials.
If all of the recycling was done in developed nations, not only would the prices of the goods be cheaper since access to the material will be readily available, but less exploitation of natural resources will occur in developing countries. The problem of E-waste is a cycle, developing nations' natural resources are exploited to extract precious metals. Then, developed nations use those resources to create devices. Once the devices are no longer of use for that developed society, those same nations send the obsolete products back to developing nations where they extract the precious metals and retro feed the cycle again.
Some agencies such as the European Environment Agency, are pushing for more regulation regarding the disposal of electronics. More importantly, the United Nations is placing an emphasis on recycling devices and finding new uses for old devices. Imposing regulations on manufacturers, such as incorporating recycled materials in their new devices, and trade-in systems incentivizing the customer to trade-in their device for recycling in exchange for a discount, would mitigate the problem. These programs and regulations can actually prevent society from accumulating tons and tons of obsolete devices, getting rid once and for all, of that old phone in the drawer that simply accumulates dust.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A supermoon eclipse is a rare sight and dozens of people gathered at the Griffith Park Observatory to see it Sunday night.
The double feature with the full moon making its closest approach to earth combined with a full lunar eclipse hasn't been seen since 1982 and won't happen again until 2033.
At the observatory, young and old turned out to see the rare sight, and many amateur astronomers set up their large telescopes. The observatory's official viewing sight also gave visitors an up-close look.

Rousey vs. Correia Fight Card, TV Info, Predictions and More
Ronda Rousey will defend her UFC women's bantamweight title on Saturday
night in Brazil against Bethe Correia in the main event of UFC 190. This is a grudge match as the two women have traded mean-spirited comments at one another over the past month. That trend continued at Thursday's press event, per Damon Martin of Fox Sports.
It'll all come to a head on Saturday night.
In the co-feature, Brazilian legends Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira will renew acquaintances. The two men battled in one of the sport's most legendary contests when both were in PRIDE back in 2005. Rua won a hard-fought unanimous decision, but it was a back-and-forth battle.
Fans and the UFC are hoping Rua and Nogueira pick up where they left off 10 years ago.
Diaz can be seen throwing a drink at Nurmagomedov, who was at the event to corner his brother Abubakar Nurmagomedov and teammate Islam Mamedov, who had fought earlier in the night. Things escalated from there, resulting in Diaz being escorted away while another unknown individual attempted to rush the Nurmagomedov camp but was quickly wrapped up by security. WSOF matchmaker Ali Abdel-Aziz can be seen frantically rushing back and forth, trying to calm things down.

Novartis Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan, facing an uproar over data manipulation involving $2.1 million gene therapy Zolgensma, pledged on Monday to tell regulators quickly if credible questions emerge in future over data integrity.
Novartis has said it knew of discrepancies in Zolgensma data it had submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before it won approval for the world's most expensive medicine in May, but delayed informing regulators until June 28 while it completed an internal investigation.
While the FDA has concluded Zolgensma is safe and effective and should remain on the market, the U.S. drug watchdog raised questions about the timing of Novartis's disclosure. U.S. senators have also demanded the Swiss drugmaker explain why it took so long to inform the agency.
Novartis could face possible civil or criminal penalties, the FDA has said. Zolgensma treats spinal muscular atrophy, the leading genetic cause of death in infants.
"We are making a voluntary commitment to notify the FDA within five business days of receipt by our quality (control) organisation of any credible allegation related to data integrity impacting any pending application in the Novartis Group," Narasimhan said at an investor event, adding Novartis will take a similar approach in other jurisdictions.
Novartis said it gave "detailed explanations" on Aug. 23 to the FDA about the company's investigation into the data manipulation, and addressed regulators' questions over why the company waited until late June to make disclosures.
The company has said it has "exited" scientists it identified in its data manipulation probe. One of those scientists, Brian Kaspar, through his lawyer, has denied wrongdoing.
During Monday's investor event on corporate governance, Narasimhan said the Basel-based company has countless instances where its employees must use judgement about how to manage potential problems that crop up with its drugs, but that the tumult surrounding Zolgensma prompted it to change its practices.
"What we realised through this situation is, during a filing, it's difficult for us to exercise that judgement without it being later considered maybe not the best judgement," Narasimhan said. "So we're just taking judgement out of that equation" with the new five-day rule.

OLD Town teammates and current golfing partners Chris Hutchings and Keiran O'Regan have been in close contact this week.
New Walsall boss Hutchings is preparing for tomorrow's League I trip to Hartlepool, who held Town to a 1-1 draw at the Galpharm on Tuesday.
O'Regan watched that game in his capacity as a radio summariser and Hutchings has been picking his brains on the way the North-Easteners might line-up and approach the clash.
"Hartlepool have been struggling for form of late, but they have stacks of potential," said former Halifax manager O'Regan, who like Hutchings, lives in the Holme Valley.
"Joel Porter is a talismanic striker who is a threat to any defence and centre-backs Michael Nelson and Ben Clark are very strong in the air."
Pools, of course, are without on-loan Blackpool striker Daniel Nardiello, who starts a three-match ban after his straight red card for a foul on Town keeper Alex Smithies.
Elsewhere, leaders Leicester host Oldham while second-placed MK Dons, who are 10 points adrift of the Foxes, are at home to Crewe.
Scunthorpe, in third, are at home to Cheltenham while fourth-placed Peterborough welcome Carlisle.
Leeds, who visit Town a week tomorrow, host Millwall on Monday.

It was March 4th when I last published, and then "poof!" I vanished from the social media radar. It's time I explained myself to you, my valued readers.
At the beginning of this past October, Robin and I made a life-changing decision.
Following a rather short stint in South Florida, our daughter, Megan and son-in-law Matt sought greener pastures. They moved back to Matt's home state of Michigan. This meant that Robin and I would be without all of our children in South Florida. Coupled with the painful reminders of our son Justin no longer being here, we decided we weren't going to miss out on being close to our family. We didn't want to miss seeing Madeline, our granddaughter, grow up either.
On the morning of April 14th Robin and I got on the Florida Turnpike, headed north and began a three-day journey to Megan and Matt's home in Belding, Michigan. We got there in time to celebrate Madeline's first birthday and I haven't returned to Florida since. Robin went back on April 22nd to finish up family business and headed to our new home for good on May 19th.
During this big, life-changing transition, as much as I tried at the end of February and beginning of March to keep things going, it left little to no time for writing. I apologize for just disappearing from the blogging landscape, but now I'm back! I will be publishing on Sunday morning once again. For now I will back burner the Wednesday feature until the baseball post-season.
I now come to you from my new location in my home in Wyoming, Michigan! Wyoming is located just outside Grand Rapids and is a booming, sprawling suburb. Robin and I couldn't be happier being near our children and grandchildren!
Over the past few months, I couldn't help but survey the sports makeup of my new home. I've learned quickly that the teams headquartered in Detroit have a far-reaching appeal throughout the state of Michigan.
The Detroit Tigers logo is proudly displayed throughout Western Michigan. I truly live in Tigers territory!
A big difference in the sports scene up here, as compared to South Florida, is its history. South Florida has its Dolphins, Marlins, Heat, and my personal favorites, the Panthers. However, South Florida is still relatively new to the world of big time professional sports. The Dolphins began in 1966 as an expansion team in an up-and-coming American Football League and remain the top dog in South Florida today. The rest of the sports scene didn't really develop until the late 1980's and early 1990's.
The big time sports scene in South Florida began in 1966 when the Miami Dolphins began play as an American Football League expansion team.
The Dolphins were the lone big league franchise in South Florida until 1988 when the Miami Heat joined the NBA as an expansion team. In 1993, the late H. Wayne Huizenga legitimized South Florida as a major league locality. Huizenga led groups to join both Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League in the early 1990's. The results of Mr. Huizenga's efforts still live on in the Miami Marlins and Florida Panthers.
In contrast to the expansion and late coming sports culture in South Florida, I have found Western Michigan to be much different.
Grand Rapids seems to be Detroit's sports scene's breeding ground. There are three minor league franchises playing in the Grand Rapids area, all three have ties to the big clubs over on the east side of the Lower Peninsula.
The West Michigan Whitecaps are the baseball team in these parts. They play in the class A Midwest League and are affiliated with the Detroit Tigers. They play in the town of Comstock Park, which, like Wyoming is located just outside downtown Grand Rapids.
The Van Andel Arena is located in downtown Grand Rapids and is home to the American Hockey League's Grand Rapids Griffins. Much like the Whitecaps, the Griffins are the AHL affiliates of the Detroit Red Wings.
Downtown Grand Rapids also has a minor league basketball team. The Detroit Pistons' G-League affiliate, the Grand Rapids Drive, call the Delta Plex Arena home.
The Detroit Lions have been members of the National Football League since 1930, and have called Detroit home since 1934.
The major league culture here in West Michigan, unlike South Florida is very traditional and full of history.
The Tigers have been around since 1894 and are one of eight charter franchises in the American League. The Olde English "D" logo on their caps and home jerseys remain virtually unchanged, much like the pinstripes and Olde English NY of the New York Yankees.
The Lions franchise originated in Portsmouth, Ohio in 1929 and joined the National Football League in 1930. The franchise was known as the Portsmouth Spartans until they moved to Detroit in 1934, when they were re-named the Detroit Lions.
The Detroit Red Wings franchise has been around since 1926. The Red Wings and their iconic logo have been around since 1932. The franchise joined the National Hockey League in 1926 as the Detroit Cougars, and changed their name to the Falcons in 1930, before settling on the Red Wings in 1932.
The Pistons are the "new kids in town" in Detroit. The Pistons' franchise is a charter member of the National Basketball Association. They originated in Fort Wayne Indiana in 1941 and moved to Detroit in 1957, making them Detroit's "newest" professional sports franchise.
The Detroit Pistons are the area's youngest big league franchise. They moved from Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1957.
For 29 years I saw games played in an empty Marlins Park (and Hard Rock Stadium before Marlins Park was built ) and BB&T Center. The Miami Heat played to full houses at the AmericanAirlines Arena when the likes of Shaq and Lebron were on the court, not so much otherwise. The Dolphins can sell out regardless of what they put on the Hard Rock Stadium football field. I heard it for years, Miami is a football town with no room for much else.
I am intrigued and excited at the culture up here in the Great Lakes Region. History abounds not only here in Michigan but on the other side of beautiful Lake Michigan as well, where you find bothWrigley Field and Lambeau Field.
The fan bases of all four Detroit franchises are loyal, and have been around for generations.
I am truly looking forward to a sports scene containing Lions and Tigers and across the lake, Bears (two different varieties) oh my!
I promise to be back next week!

Sinus Lift Procedure
Sinuses are a connected system of hollow cavities in the skull. There are 4 different sinuses. In the center of your forehead above the bridge of your nose are the Frontal Sinuses, between your eyes are the Ethmoid Sinuses, in the bones behind your nose are the Sphenoid Sinuses and finally in your cheekbones on either side of your nose you will find the Maxillary sinuses.
A sinus lift may be necessary if there is not enough bone height to support an implant in the upper jaw in the area of the back teeth (molars). It may also be required if the Maxillary Sinuses are too close to the jaw. During the procedure, an incision is made and the Maxillary Sinuses are lifted in order to make room to place the bone graft material into the proper place where more bone is needed. After this is accomplished, the incision is stitched up and you will heal over the next few months while the new bone integrates with your own natural bone.

Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy
Archive Article – The Thyroid Society (1998 – 2003)
Sam C. Weber, M.D. is a practicing otolaryngologist, head and neck surgeon and Associate Clinical Professor at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He is Chief of Otolaryngology at St. Luke's Hospital and Senior Attending Surgeon at Methodist Hospital. Dr. Weber is a member of the American Thyroid Association, Past President of the Houston Otolaryngological, Head and Neck Surgery Society, Past Vice Chair of The Thyroid Society and numerous other professional organizations.
The Thyroid gland is situated low in the central compartment of the neck. This area is below the "Adam's apple" and above the inner aspect of the collarbones. The gland lies under the muscle of the neck and is therefore hidden from view.
The solitary thyroid nodules are of concern because of the possibility that it might be malignant (cancerous). Generally, the solitary nodule produces no symptoms or signs, unless it is enlarged enough to be visible with inspection of the anterior neck. The majority of these nodules are found during a neck examination performed by family practitioners, internists, obstetricians or otolaryngologists (head and neck surgeons). The nodule, once diagnosed, needs to be evaluated.
The most important study is the Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA). The FNA entails placing a fine gauge needle into the nodule and withdrawing a drop of blood. The cells are studied under the microscope by an experienced cyto-pathologist. The advantage of the FNA is that 75% of the solid nodules avoid being removed surgically. If the nodule is read as benign, surgery can be avoided and the nodule can be followed by the patient's physician. Many patients with benign thyroid nodules will be advised to take thyroid hormone. On the other hand, if the nodule is cancer on FNA, surgery is indicated. The third category in reading the FNA is indeterminate, inclusive or suspicious. This last reading also requires surgery.
Other studies may be ordered by the physician. Thyroid ultrasound uses ultrasonic waves to map out the gland and identify any nodule or nodules which may be present. A thyroid image or scan may be obtained using radioactive iodine or technetium. The nodule may take up less radioactive material than the surrounding tissue and show up "cold" on the scan. Ten to twenty percent of the cold nodules will be malignant. If the nodule takes up more radioactive iodine than the surrounding tissue, it is called a "hot" nodule and the chance of malignancy is very small (less than 1%).
When the patient has surgery, the nodule is generally removed by excising the entire lobe. A frozen section is then performed. If the diagnosis from that test is benign, the other lobe is left alone. Generally, if the frozen section indicates malignancy, a total thyroidectomy is executed. The patients who undergo total thyroidectomy surgery to remove cancer will receive treatment with radioactive iodine six weeks after the surgery.

Losing My Religion
This is one of several posts being put on the back burner until my days with the FAA are finished for fear of certain reprisals should this go live while I'm still employed. So much for freedom of speech.
If I had any illusions that I work for reasonable people, those illusions have proved to be a mirage. The title of this post is in reference to those who stumble their way through mediocre careers while sitting in judgment of people who do a job from which they ran (or as in the case with the supervisor at the center of my dispute)—decertified themselves when the going got tough.
This is about coming to the realization that truth is something which gets in the way of power and not something which necessarily wins out at the end of the day.
I made reference a few days ago to some troubles I was having at work as the result of a traffic situation and how it was handled. It was a simple sequencing problem for some Chicago arrivals and me trying to show my trainee how to go about rectifying the problem by enlisting the help of the supervisor. I made an assumption that the supervisor would work with me but instead, he chose to use the situation to flex his muscle and disregard my 26 years of experience in favor of his lack of common sense.
They haven't told me what I'm being charged with but I'm assuming it's insubordination of some sort. I questioned a bad plan from somebody who isn't known for his understanding of how to sequence aircraft and for that I'm in the wrong. It doesn't matter that my approach to the situation was better. All that matters is that the little fella had his feelings hurt and for that, I must pay.
My union has done a great job of going to bat for me and I've got all the support I could want from those who saw what happened but none of that matters if management isn't interested in the truth. And they're not.
Little man syndrome can be a difficult thing to overcome and I'm not just referring to the person who suffers the affliction.
The part of this which is most difficult to swallow is that I'm being advised to not fight it. If I do push back, management will come down even harder on me and who knows what that will result in. I've never in my career been in this situation. I've never had any disciplinary action brought against me and I've enjoyed the respect of my peers and supervisors my entire career.
The troubling part of all of this is that management knows that the supe I had my troubles with has a long history of terrible interpersonal skills and being unable to overcome his shortcomings. They've chosen to ignore the problems with the supervisor and instead, make me their focus. I'm naive when it comes to these things. I expect reasonable people to come to reasonable solutions but the FAA doesn't work that way.
I'll be disciplined while the real problem won't be addressed. My attitude will sour while the person responsible for the entire mess walks away with the blessings of management.
I used to take pride in the training I provided but I no longer feel that my efforts are appreciated. Training others in the art of air traffic control with live traffic is easily the most difficult job in this building when it's done right. You have to allow your trainee to go to the edge of their abilities before stepping in and it often creates for a stressful environment. Not everyone is cut out to train others and the list of those who do it well isn't a long one. It's quite likely the list will soon have one less name on it. That will be my decision.
How could I have been so naive for so long?

Hurricane warnings couldn't stop this beautiful couple from tying the knot! That's right - this tropical paradise wedding in Mexico happened right on schedule even with a tropical storm brewing!
What a spectacular event it was. From the gorgeous flowers that surrounded the day to the breath taking venue, you really need to see all of the photos from Chris + Lynn. See everything here in the full gallery!
Smiles In The Face Of A Storm
From Signature, Event Consulting & Design:
The weekend of Dana & Jeff's wedding was a pretty particular one. We had been informed of a hurricane warning at the beginning of the week. Luckily it went away, but the risk of rain on the wedding day was still there.
Both Dana and Jeff were getting ready at the villa in separate rooms with their respective friends and parents. Their last concern was the rain, or any sort of plan B. They were truly enjoying the moment.
Prepared With A Plan B
We didn't have to go into plan B; we had an awesome wedding day and magical lighting. We didn't escape the wind though; we had to plan accordingly to keep the setting and candlelight in place.
Good Vendors Make A Great Day
We cannot stress the fact enough when it comes to working with a solid team of vendors. I always advise couples to really take the time to know the team that will be part of the wedding. They will set the mood and be the key ingredients that will make you feel at ease.

As temperatures begin to plummet, one Teesside couple are really feeling the chill.
Mavis and George Mentz have been left without heating and hot water for nine days. The elderly couple's Baxi boiler went on the blink last Tuesday but they did not worry because it was insured.
But when boiler company Baxi came round to investigate the problem they initially said it would be next Monday before they had the time to fix it, but after being contacted by the Gazette the firm said an engineer would be despatched today.
"You are not supposed to leave elderly, vulnerable people without heating for that long are you?" said Mrs Mentz, who has been living in her front room huddled round an electric fire.
"You can't sit in any other rooms. I'm going out there with a couple of cardigans and a jumper on doing what I have to do and coming back in here.
"I have angina and this does not help. I'm just sick and fed up of it."
Mr Mentz, a retired television engineer of Cargo Fleet Lane, Middlesbrough, said: "The hardest thing is not having hot water to wash up in and not having a bath.
"I have steel valves in my heart and I could do without this and the stress. When you have paid #149 for insurance you expect to be covered."
The boiler started playing up last Tuesday and an engineer from Baxi came out to fix it but by Wednesday it had broken down again.
On Monday they rang Baxi and were told they had got the parts they needed but it would be another week before they had time to fit it.
Their son, Ken Mentz, of Redcar said the service was unacceptable. "They are old, they cannot do without heating and water," he said.
"Dad took the insurance policy out to safeguard against this happening."
The couple are having to use extra blankets and can only get hot water by boiling the kettle.
"It's so cold," said Mrs Mentz as she prepared for temperatures to dip to minus 6 degrees last night.
When the Gazette contacted Baxi yesterday they said they would send an engineer out to fit the parts today.

Netflix just revealed a pair of guest stars for its upcoming third season of Stranger Things which should please some 80s/90s nostalgia fans out there. Cary Elwes of The Princess Bride and SAW fame will join the cast along with Jake Busey of Starship Troopers and the upcoming actioner The Predator. They'll be guest performers playing Mayor Kline and a Hawkins Post journalist named Bruce, respectively. Netflix was kind enough to share their character breakdowns with us, starting with Elwes.
Mayor Kline is described as "handsome, slick, and sleazy …your classic 80s politician — more concerned with his own image than with the people of the small town he governs." As for Bruce, "he's a journalist for the The Hawkins Post with questionable morals and a sick sense of humor."
As for Elwes' other work these days, he was recently a series regular on his show The Art of More, which has wrapped its second season for Sony/Crackle. He stars opposite Dennis Quaid, Kate Bosworth and Christian Cooke. Elwes also shot The Billionaire Boys Club opposite Ansel Elgort, Taron Egerton and Kevin Spacey. He can be seen starring in the theatrical release The Queen of Spain, opposite Penelope Cruz for Academy Award-winning director, Fernando Trueba (Belle Epoque); Sugar Mountain, opposite Jason Momoa; and We Don't Belong Here, opposite Catherine Keener and Anton Yelchin.
Busey, meanwhile, will star in Shane Black's Fox feature The Predator, arriving in theaters this August. He also recurred on Ray Donovan and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and starred in History Channel's 8-hour epic mini-series Texas Rising alongside Thomas Jane, Bill Paxton, Ray Liotta and Jeremy Davies, directed by Roland Joffee.

Attorney General
November 25, 2019
LANSING – If it's too good to be true, it probably is. That's the message Attorney General Dana Nessel and the Better Business Bureaus of Southeastern and Western Michigan are saying today in a consumer alert issued ahead of the holiday season advising Michiganders of a common rip-off tactic called drop-shipping.
Drop-shipping is a ploy used by self-proclaimed entrepreneurs to skim off the top of holiday must-haves and other goods throughout the year. Sellers set up websites to peddle products they do not keep in stock and send orders placed through their sites to various third parties to fulfill and ship the product directly to the consumer – all while charging markup-ups of up to $50 or more.
"As we approach the holiday season, it is imperative we arm Michigan consumers with the information they need to shop wisely and avoid being victims of holiday scams," Nessel said. "While not always illegal, drop-shipping is a tactic that can increase the out-the-door price for consumers who could have purchased products cheaper elsewhere."
The drop-shipping alert issued today outlines a few ways consumers can protect themselves from falling victim to this common year-round ruse, including:
"The Better Business Bureau wants people to be informed consumers," said BBB CEOs serving Eastern and Western Michigan Melanie Duquesnel and Phil Catlett. "The BBB receives a number of complaints every year from customers who didn't know the website they purchased from involved drop-shipping. Complaints include customers who never receive the item ordered or, if it is received, it comes much later than expected. Often consumers receive their product several months after it was anticipated to arrive. When done transparently, drop-shipping can connect consumers with products they may have otherwise overlooked. However, many drop-shipping websites misrepresent the real price of the item and delivery times, leaving gift givers with nothing but an empty promise on Christmas morning."
This consumer alert is part of a series of alerts Attorney General Nessel will publish for consumers ahead of the holiday gifting season to protect Michiganders from being scammed.

The Labour party will be dismayed at how few electorates still have a list vote lead for Labour. An alarming number of Labour-held electorates had National ahead on the party vote. This includes not only New Lynn but also Mt Roskill. In almost all Labour-held seats the MP is more popular than the party.
Since it is the home town, lets look at the Christchurch list votes. Increasingly rural Waimakariri looks like a safe National seat. There was just enough personal vote for Clayton Cosgrove for him to barely hold it. Christchurch Central was a very narrow win for Labour on both MP and list vote so you should think of that as a marginal(!) Labour seat. Port Hills looks marginal National and Wigram(!) looks to be only marginal for Labour. Only Christchurch East still looks like a pretty comfortable Labour seat. That's not the electoral map that I grew up with to say the least.
Oh and I almost forgot Ilam is still a National safe seat.
We were told by Mike Williams on election night that the get out the vote efforts developed in South Auckland last election were implemented nation wide this election.
Indeed I myself was prevailed upon to go door to door encouraging people to vote in Mana and there were certainly many Labour people out on the streets of Wellington Central getting out the vote. Based on experiences in Porirua I can only agree with the Labour leadership, many heartland Labour voters are still remarkably positive about the party.
Clearly though the get out the vote efforts were not as successful as might have been hoped, particularly in Auckland but in other centers also.
Here's my working theory.
There is a difference between knowing in principle how to organise the party vote, and having enough enthusiastic volunteers to execute.
Were Labour party operatives really working that hard on Saturday?
A question for an investigative journalist?

It certainly looks like a lot of Labour voters held their noses and either voted National or stayed home.....in roughly equal numbers.
Labour's vote was down....but National's vote wasn't up by as much as labour's was down......I think. ;-)

Upper body kettlebell Workout
I've gotten a couple requests for upper body workouts, and after creating my new workout page, I can see why—in the year and a half or so that I've been blogging, I've never posted one. Oops. The majority of the workouts I post are full-body, so I still incorporate arms/shoulders/chest in some way, but rarely have I focused solely on this area.
Well, I love the challenge of coming up with a workout that fits a particular set of goals, so an upper body workout it is. You can, by the way, always reach out to me with a workout request. Leave a comment, write on the P&I Facebook wall, tweet at me, email me—I love coming up with workouts I know you guys actually want!
And speaking of things you guys want, if you haven't yet stocked your workout wardrobe with the basics, allow me to direct your attention to what I'm wearing today. Neon, zebra-striped, cut-out, 3-D workout gear is fun and all, but you also need to have some basic, match-everything, go-to pieces. I've mentioned Cory Vines before here, but I'll say it again: their tops are so comfortable, and perfect for working out as well as everyday wear. And the black Champion leggings I have on are the full-length version of the capris I was wearing last week—so essential seeing as they match literally everything!
Equipment I Used:
- 25-lb kettlebell
- 20-lb kettlebell
- 15-lb kettlebell
- 10-lb kettlebell
We've got lots of shoulder, upper back, and arm moves for this one. But don't be fooled—you'll still be working your core the entire time! Complete 3 rounds of the following exercises. If you're a beginner, reduce the amount of reps you do for each move.
- 15 Clean & Press (each side): With feet a little wider than shoulder width apart, bend knees and bring kettlebell from a straight-arm hanging position to closely held by the center of your chest with arm bent. From there, straighten legs as you extend your arm skyward. Reverse the moves to bring yourself back to starting position. Try to keep the kettlebell towards the center of your body throughout this move. When done correctly, this isn't just an upper-body workout, but great for your core. I used a 15-lb bell.
- 15 Hovering Plank Rows (each side): Get into a plank position, holding onto a kettlebell with one hand (I used a 10-lb bell). Row the kettlebell off the ground, pulling your elbow straight back towards the ceiling. Lower it back down, but don't let it touch the ground before rowing back again. Try to complete all 15 before letting kettlebell come to a rest on the floor. While you do these rows, try to resist the urge to twist towards the stabilizing side. Keep hips square and chest facing the floor.
- 15 Triceps Presses: Hold a kettlebell (I used a 10-lb bell) in both hands behind your head (elbows bent, arms held in close to either side of your head). Keeping your upper arm in place, straighten out your forearm, bringing the kettlebell up over your head. Lower back down. Keep those elbows in tight and facing forward the whole time—resist the urge to let them flop out away from your head.
- 15 High Pulls (each side): Start with feet hip-width apart with kettlebell on the floor in front of you. I use a 20-lb bell for these. Bend with your knees keeping back straight, grab and kettlebell, and power up, standing as you pull your elbow up, bringing the kettlebell up towards the side of your face. In a controlled movement, lower back to starting position.
- 20 Kettlebell Swing Punches: This is just like a regular swing except for at the top, bend your elbows wide, bringing the kettlebell in towards your face, and punch it back out. I use a 25-lb kettlebell for these.
- 10 Lift 'n Pull Apart: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, holding a kettlebell in both hands, arms extended. Slowly lift the kettlebell up towards your chin, bringing your elbows out wide as you do so. The kettlebell should stay close to your body throughout the whole movement. As you reach the top of the lift, really pull those arms out wide as if you're trying to tear the kettlebell in half. Slowly lower, reversing the motion. I used a 20-lb kettlebell.
- 30-second Two-Arm Extension Hold: Holding a kettlebell in both hands at chest height, extend arms straight out in front of you, keeping only a slight bend in the elbows. Hold position for 30 seconds. I used a 10-lb bell.
WEARING: V-Neck: c/o Cory Vines // Leggings: c/o Champion // Sneakers: New Blanace
While we can't spot reduce (chose where we lose fat), we can focus on strengthening certain muscle groups. Working my entire body throughout the week is always the goal, but I admittedly tend to focus on abs when it comes to strength training. What's your favorite area to work out?

Another in the series of videos exposing Hillary Clinton's shady campaign practices…
Hidden camera footage captured by Project Veritas shows a campaign "fellow", identified as Henry Engelstein, attracting Spanish-speaking Nevadans in Las Vegas with a picture of Donald Trump that reads, "THIS IS MY RESTING B**CH FACE".
On the video you can hear Engelstein say, "Un payaso muy grande, si!" Translated, that means, "Yes! A giant clown!" He also tells people he wants to register Latinos whose anger towards the outspoken opponent of illegal immigration would be enough to compel them to sign up to vote. (HT TPNN)
Of course, Hillary will claim she knows nothing about the illicit actions of the people who represent her, after all, plausible deniability has worked well for her in the past. Benghazi and her email server come to mind.

Why is Chernobyl so unusual?
More than thirty years have passed since a terrible catastrophe has occurred at the Chernobyl NPP. The society will never forget the lesson that received in the past. Thousands of ruined lives, health problems of people, psychological issues, financial losses. If nature can recover, human souls cannot. The past is impossible to change. But the future is in our hands. And we are all responsible for ensuring that the Chernobyl will never happen again.
Despite the tragic events of 1986 and the consequences that we still can observe, today Chernobyl is a special place. For someone, Chernobyl is a reminder of a lost home, for someone — a symbol of the disaster, and for lots, it is an opportunity to experience an unusual kind of tourism that develops very quickly with the help of professional agencies.
The issue of Chernobyl is very often used in contemporary art — in films, TV shows, music. A lot of games, like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., have already become iconic among fans all around the world. It is one of the reasons, why Chernobyl tours became so popular, especially among the younger generation. But it is not the only reason. Many tourists want to go on this unusual trip to run away from ordinary life and of course to see the ghost-town Pripyat.
Most have an informational goal and a desire to satisfy curiosity. They want to see the reality of the zone, are there mutants for real and is it similar to movies and games. And most of the agencies, offering the services of guides, assure that you will learn tons of new information that isn't available on the Internet. And it is true, as many people, who admire the zone, study materials, communicate with witnesses of the events, former residents of cities and with those, who work there until now, become your guides during Chernobyl exclusion zone tour.
What to do if you decided to go on the Chernobyl tour?
With the help of a professional agency Go2Chernobyl, your trip will be unforgettable. All you need is to choose an available date and book a trip not later than 3-7 days before the date of departure from Kyiv. The type of tour you can choose:
- a one-day excursion includes twenty-five locations of the zone;
- a two-day excursion includes the night in the hotel, lots of interesting locations and Soviet secret objects;
- an individual tour with the possibility to spend up to five days and get access to classified materials;
Go2Chernobyl professionals will take responsibility for all documents and permits that you will need to visit the exclusion zone. But remember, that you must be 18 years old, as minors are not allowed to visit the zone. Also, you must have a document confirming your identity with you, as well as follow the rules that guides will warn you about before the excursion:
- for your safety, specialists have developed routes to avoid still dangerous areas; it is not allowed to deviate from them;
- the zone is similar to a minefield; although the tourist routes are safe, some places may harm your health; it is crucial to pay attention to information signs, which warn about radiation danger;
- it is strictly forbidden to take things out of the zone; eat berries, pick mushrooms or drink water from open sources;
- clothes must cover the whole body, despite the weather or a season of the year; the possibility of radioactive rains is excluded, but for your comfort, it is recommended to take an umbrella;
- a respiratory mask is not a requirement, but also recommended for protection of your lungs from radioactive dust.
Go2Chernobyl is your guarantee of comfort and safety during the Chernobyl exclusion zone tour.
Now you are informed about why the zone attracts visitors so much, how to use agency services, which tour to choose and how to comply with safety requirements. However, one thing left — to learn the main attractions of the zone and be ready for the locations that you can see during the tour.
Famous Chernobyl locations
Ghost-town Pripyat. This city is a phenomenon of developing nature and empty streets and buildings, where it seems that time has stopped forever. The alluring atmosphere is hard to explain, but it causes the desire to come back in lots of people. Due to its uniqueness, the dead city is worth to see at least once. Guides are sure that after seeing the city, the next generation will understand the whole problem and the scale of the events of 1986, and will not allow similar cities to arise because of human mistakes.
Chernobyl 2 (secret object) and "DUGA".Usually, when it comes to Chernobyl-2, this place is understood as Duga — Soviet radar station for detection of launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles. Chernobyl 2 cannot be found on any map, because it is a secret object, which today has become the symbol of the zone.
Zalesie village. The village, located near the city of Chernobyl, will surprise you, as it had nearly three thousand inhabitants before the accident, and today it has an abandoned school, a library and a maternity hospital. Most Chernobyl tours include this village because its atmosphere is not similar to anything else.
Red Forest.Red Forest is the most contaminated area of the zone. The strong irradiation of trees contributed to their rapid death. And although red trees were buried in the ground for safety reasons, the forest is a unique place in the exclusion zone, where tourists can visually observe the effect of radiation on nature until now.
Chernobyl NPP.Today, everyone will be able to see how the Chernobyl NPP is operating and talk with employees who are still working there.
But it is not a complete list of Chernobyl attractions. To see more, you need to find the courage and make a decision about an unusual trip. And Go2Chernobyl agency will organize Chernobyl tours for the bravest ones.

The changing perceptions of HNWIs and family business
High-net-worth individuals have a lot to offer family businesses, but there must be a meeting of minds and aims.
Some of the main obstacles to investment partnerships between high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and family businesses are the perceptions on both sides concerning control of the business. Suggested solutions include education of family business owners on investment options, networking, and use of external advisers.
There is the potential for the two groups to work together successfully: both seek to achieve long-term goals, have a shared appetite for measured and managed risk, and value a personal touch. Moreover there is a clear mutual appreciation of what either side can offer and many HNWIs are from family businesses, suggesting they understand some of the characteristics unique to managing this type of company. The question, therefore, is: why are there not more HNWI investments in family businesses?
A meeting of minds and aims
HNWIs' perception that they are unable to obtain an equity position in family businesses is not necessarily the reality. Indeed, many family businesses say they would offer equity for the right investor, and many even say that they would be prepared to offer a seat on the board.
When asked about the characteristics of HNWIs, there is a close match between family businesses' perception and the HNWIs' self-reported profile: HWNIs indicate that they would like to be personally involved, that they would be relatively demanding from an internal rate of return perspective, that they have tough skin and are unlikely to panic, that they would not push hard for an exit, and that they would regularly like to express their views to management.
This high level of personal involvement fits well with the type of investor that family businesses are looking for. Indeed, very few family businesses say that they are looking for an investor to be completely passive. Instead, many suggest that they would want an investor that could add experience and expertise to help them build and grow the business. The key issue for family businesses therefore seems to be the ability to manage the control tendencies of HNWI investors. Board seats are fine but the premium on independence remains strong.
Education and communication are key
Family businesses and HNWIs both identify limited opportunities and a lack of availability as the key reasons for either not seeking HNWI investment or for HNWIs not making more family business investments.
Education may go some way to alleviating any potential lack of knowledge about the possibilities a partnership between family firms and HNWIs could bring. Family business associations, business incubators and chambers of commerce could play an important role in helping to bridge this gap – facilitating any networking or introductions and teaching family owners in particular about the options they have for funding.
Given that most HNWIs come from family businesses, contact and networking between family businesses could help facilitate such investments. Yet the majority (58%) of family businesses surveyed in our 2014 Global Family Business Survey say that they do not currently have many relations with other family firms.
The case for building better networks is strengthened further by the fact that HNWIs say they would be more likely to invest in businesses when they are familiar with the family, as well as with the company, industry and target geography. Although ultimately the company they are investing in is the most important consideration, so by forming stronger and wider networks both sides are likely to improve their chances of finding the right partner.
External advisers are another channel through which investment partnerships may be formed. Both HNWIs and family businesses named business consultants and banks as the two most important sources of advice when looking to invest or seeking investors. This presents the opportunity for these advisors to play an integral role in connecting these two groups, and providing introductions that could benefit both parties.
This is an edited version of an article that was first published in KPMG Family Business. Christophe Bernard is a KPMG partner based in the French firm's Paris office.

Click watch above…more detail will appear…
This is an uncommon 34mm. solid gold mid-70's 9k. TUDOR ROYAL which is very elegant and simple. The original silver silver dial looks fabulous with its sleek, extended gold toned markers and fine modern style hands. This simple and highly reliable TUDOR (by ROLEX) movement was just cleaned and accurately running. The original ROLEX logo winding crown is installed. The 9k. solid gold case has not been over-polished. These solid gold dress TUDORS were mainly produced and sold by ROLEX as presentation watches for various corporations. These solid gold TUDOR dress watches are very uncommon to find and I believe undervalued at present .

My devotion to a client is truly what sets me apart from a sea of other real estate professionals. I consider myself very fortunate to have the ability to help individuals and families achieve their biggest life goals.

First sale.
Picked up the first batch of 5 designs. So I have 500 to sale.
I'd sold the first Georgia flag to a friend who was helping me on some Old Try administrative stuff.
So, at this point, we have money in our bank that we earned with the sweat of our brow, and a poster en route to a wall.
I thought about framing the first dollar I earned of my first sale, but since it's Paypal, that would look kinda lame.
First one to give me cash might end up in a frame on our wall.
Three cheers.
