- eview of Wednesday afternoon lunch2ferDined on 9/10/2014I'm 64 years old, married and living in West Newton. I have two grown children one of whom has eaten many times at Not your Average Joes in Watertown. She gave me a balance card reflecting money to spend at her next visit and gave it to me. My oldestSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent meal!BarneyVIPDined on 9/6/2014We ordered 2 items off the specials & they were both exceptional. We've eaten @ NYAJ's many times before, but this was by far the best meal we've had there, on a par with some top notch restaurants! I had pork rubbed w/ Indian spices and on a bed of sweet potato carrot mash w/ sauteed swiss chard. THe flavors were delicious & it was perfectly cooked. My husband, who fishes & cooks, had the fish special, flounder, on smoked cheese risotto. The fish was perfectly cooked, not too dry or undercooked, & moist and tasty & was delicious. THis was an excellent meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- steveDined on 9/2/2014Always very nice. Not outstanding food or service but always a good meal, reasonably priced, and ok serviceSpecial Features:
- Always a pleasant surprisepattidDined on 8/26/2014Not Your Average Joe's is far and away the best "chain" restaurant I've ever eaten at -- one of our favorite places for lunch. Their salads are inventive and really well-done, and the option to add chicken, steak or salmon to anything makes for a great meal (sometimes two!) The menu changes regularly to keep things interesting and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. And their bread and dipping oil (full of grated cheese) is yummy! The service at our location in Watertown is always well-paced and solicitous without constantly interrupting our conversation. Watertown has a lovely patio, which we always enjoy, but it can get very sunny. If only those umbrellas tilted ... Still, an excellent experience all around.Special Features:
- chilly nitenewtongirlDined on 8/25/2014I love Joes. Our dinners were good although a few in the party tried new things and werent crazy about them - basil chicken was overcooked and the mexican steak was so so. But there are so many great things on the menu- one can find something they love. Biggest complaint of evening - it was TOO COLD - the air conditioning was up so high it felt like a meat cooler. I know this is hard to control when temps go up and down outside but boy we couldnt enjoy the meal as we were shivering. We should have eaten outside.Special Features:
- Not Average but nothing specialNlaveDined on 8/25/2014If consistency is what you are looking for it hits the mark. Nothing notable, but nothing bad. The dipping oils for the bread some of the best I have had and the cocktails were reasonably priced. BIG plus though is an extensive gluten free menu that actually tastes great. I will be back here again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food. Great Service.BuffMcCloudDined on 8/22/2014Food at Joe's is always good. Nothing fancy but reliably good. Wait staff is excellent. Always accommodating to my daughter's nut allergy.Special Features:
- birthday lunchJulieDined on 8/22/2014Our group of 4 enjoyed our lunch. Both food and service were excellent! The noise level made it difficult to have a conversation, however. Can something be done about that?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/21/2014Its was my first trip to a not your average joes for my pre birthday dinner. .I made my reservation for one online. .upon entering the restaurant I was greated by a friendly hosted who called me by name and sat me 15 minutes earlier then my reservation. .I was then greated by joanna my waitress. ..who took my order...she was friendly and my food wasserved promptly. ...the herb crusted haddock fries and coleslaw was delicious. ..and as was the carrot cake I got to go...my experience was five stars...and by the way my entree and dessert was free because I had joined the e-club and you get a free meal for your birthday. .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good food, mediocre servergreatfoodpoorserverDined on 8/21/2014This was our first experience at the restaurant. The menu is brilliant, the manager was attentive to new guests, the food was very well presented and very good, and the server was at best mediocre. The server did not spoil the meal, but just did not know how to serve. Training was probably the issueSpecial Features:
- Consistent food, terrible waiterJennVIPDined on 8/10/2014Been here a few times. Food is consistent an priced right for the area. Nice back patio and great drink selection. Our waiter this past time, Josh, was terrible. He acted as though everything was a huge inconvenience and forgot about multiple requests from the table. Will still return but wanted to be clear.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NYAJ far from average!NotsoMuchVIPDined on 8/5/2014Please ignore the nickname NOSOMUCH, I can't change it from a bad review a long time ago. Not Your Average Joe's (NYAJ) has really mastered the neighborhood dining spot. Somewhere you can eat delicious home cooked food everyday and get something different. The summer special we had, tuna tartare on cucumber with yummy sauces were awesome, and filling. Went right to dessert - and oh my - the BEST strawberry shortcake you can other than my grandmother's!!! Homemade biscuits and delicious fresh soaked strawberry's on top.Special Features:
- Good, quality, consistent choiceRunnerEdu8rMomDined on 8/2/2014NYAJs is our regular go-to choice in the neighborhood. Food & service is dependable, delicious, & very reasonably priced. We also like beer selection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday CelebrationacoupleofseniorsDined on 8/1/2014My family, there were 6 of us arrived to celebrate my husband's birthday, we were seated and had a wonderful waitress. The food was excellent and of course we had to have dessert. It was a very pleasant evening.Special Features:

- Great Time!Tres1Dined on 7/22/2014Food is good, service is good, overall a good experienceSpecial Features:
- This new menu offering is a miss.anntDined on 7/16/2014The "peachy keen chicken kabob". The 5-6 chicken pieces were very dry and burnt . Served @ room temp, not sure if the corn, avocado, peach salsa was meant to be cold or hot. The nice server offered to bring more chicken but I cut off the black bits and drank my husbands water after my own. Should've stuck with my usual mustard chicken. Love NYAJs but worse meal ever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Throw Back Menu was GreatbillpiVIPDined on 7/12/2014Unfortunately, the Throw Back Menu celebrating their 20 years in business ends on July 15, 2014. The classic appetizers and entrees going back to 1994 are only $19.94 until then. Several selections still will remain on the current menu as well as an eclectic number of new additions. The wine list is ample and reasonable. All over a great time was had by all.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blast from the pastseadewDined on 7/9/2014Enjoyed the 1994 menu. Good food, good prices and good service!Special Features:
- Consistently goodTheStewardVIPDined on 7/5/2014While not a fine dining restaurant NYAJ's are consistent, reliable and a good value. The food is creative and always good. Servers are consistently well-trained across all of their restaurants. The value is good for their ample portions. Be aware that service is fast for a full service restaurant. They turn tables quickly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ctetreauDined on 7/4/2014Food and drinks were excellent, service was quick and friendly. The Anniversary Deal was excellent. A great value for great food!Special Features:
- love this placeWatertownStrongDined on 6/30/2014This place is tried and true. The food isn't extraordinary, but it is usually very good. The kids' meal is great deal and includes drink and ice cream for dessert. We come here to celebrate birthdays.Special Features:
- Great as usualLocalResDined on 6/29/2014I went here for a farewell lunch for a friend and we enjoyed their specials, our favorite usuals, and of course the bread! Can't help but love this place!Special Features:
- Great atmosphere, good food!SolarPoweredMomDined on 6/28/2014My husband and I enjoyed an early dinner at NYAJ in Watertown. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and the food. We especially liked the specials....the pork tenderloin and Anderson Valley Summer solstice Ale. I also appreciated the service from both the hostess, who was cheerful when we asked to be seated somewhere else and the waiter, who was very helpful. I liked the vibe and the decor and would certainly go back.Special Features:
- Always good, no longer greatBostonGalDined on 6/25/2014We are longtime fans of NYAJ's and go there often. The last couple of times the food has been a bit disappointing. My husband even felt the bread (one of their signatures) was stale. Still better than many places, but no longer the fabulous NYAJ's we remember.Special Features:
- Oyster and martini nightzoetDined on 6/23/2014I definitely think your Monday night special of oysters and martinis should continue all summer! Neither our waiter or the hostess knew if this would continue past June, but it should! We waited a long time for our oysters but it was worth it! They were delish!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MichaelDined on 6/22/2014My wife and I enjoy this place from time to time. We like the bread and dip they give you. The new menu seems to have many Asian inspired dishes. I enjoyed my steak and wedge entree. Meat perfectly cooked. Our server was very good.Special Features:
- Not HappyBarbDined on 6/21/2014I am usually a fan of NYAJ, but it was a different story Saturday evening. The usually delicious bread was somewhat stale. I did not like the flavor of the clam chowder, which was also not very hot. The crusted haddock seemed oily, thin and tasteless. The molten chocolate cake was OK.
- NYAJ is so above average!AMP21Dined on 6/13/2014NYAJ's is one of my favorite restaurants, hands down. Great food, plenty of options, and superior customer service. I have only experienced the Burlington and Watertown locations, but both are fun atmospheres. I have yet to have a less than average experience at NYAJ's - hungry for their mouth-watering bread now that I'm thinking about it!Special Features:
- Always spot on!BonnieDined on 6/13/2014With a group for lunch or just my husband and I for drinks NYAJ always hits the markI would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice patio areaMinionionDined on 6/8/2014Although it is against the parking lot, the fence around it gives a secluded feel. There's a good balance of in the sun and in the shade seating. Our server was attentive and polite and the food came out quickly. All in all a very pleasant experience. Would be even better if there were a brunch option...Special Features:
- The following 531 reviews are from the Not Your Average Joe's Watertown reviews archive.
- Consistently goodYallaVIPDined on 6/1/2014From the hostess, to the server, to the food and ambiance, NYAJ is consistently a great place for a meal. The service was prompt, the food delicious, and the server fun and helpful. We visit once every 6-8 weeks and the food and drinks menu always has something new to try. Will be back!Special Features:
- I always come backIsabellaDVIPDined on 5/31/2014I really like this place. It's priced well, I love the food (waldorf salad is one of my faves), love the bread with olive oil and the drinks... just no complaints! I keep coming back :)Special Features:
- Monday night oysters deal is great!zoetDined on 5/26/2014Loved the martini and oyster deal!! Should be on another night in the future if possible. YUMMY!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very accommodatingTheRoseVIPDined on 5/23/2014In addition to being an all-around good restaurant, I'm praising Not your Average Joe's for being so accommodating. We had a reservation for 8 people for the Friday night on Memorial Day Weekend. Two 20-somethings in our party decided the day before that they just HAD to attend the Jack Johnson concert downtown, so I called to remove them from the reservation. The next day, due to bad weather, the two decided to rejoin us. I called again, adding them back in to our reservation. Then, late Friday afternoon, two of the adults, driving in from New Haven, had their car break down and had to be towed to Framingham. Another call to please change our reservation to 8:45pm! The response by the restaurant each time was pleasant and understanding.

Billy Makedonsky thought hed found the perfect retirement home for his 75-year-old mother. Better yet, buying it required just a few mouse clicks.
His only concern about the bank-owned house with the terracotta driveway and barrel-tiled roof other than the fact hed never bought a home online before was this caveat on GoHoming, the site auctioning off the property as is: Please DO NOT DISTURB the occupant.
Turns out he had good reason to be worried.
For $159,000, what Makedonsky got was a house wrapped up in multiple bankruptcies, foreclosed in protested proceedings, and shrouded by allegations of fraud. The home is also the residence of El Portals former mayor, Joyce A. Davis, who said she wasnt about to leave it in the middle of her comeback campaign.
There were signs up all over El Portal: Elect Joyce Davis for Mayor, and she was squatting in my home, marveled Makedonsky, a 41-year-old flight attendant.
Makedonskys tale is just one buyer-beware among many in the digital age, when reams of distressed and bank-owned properties are added daily to online auction sites, making the business of vulturing real estate cheaper and more accessible. The flipside: Establishing clear title and control of the home, which some cash buyers have never set foot in, can mean sorting through a thicket of foreclosure filings, fraud allegations, bankruptcies, other mortgages, association liens, creditors and combative tenants.
People dont realize theres a lot more to it than ponying up some money, said Dennis Donet, a Miami foreclosure defense attorney.
Makedonskys adventure began in August, when his mother gave him permission to spend her nest egg on the house just around the corner from Horace Mann Middle School despite warnings on the private site GoHoming, now called HubZu.com, that someone was still living there.
Worried that occupant was a real estate euphemism for crack heads, Makedonsky drove to the Northeast Dade village of El Portal and knocked on the door. He was relieved to find not some strung-out vagrant, but Davis, El Portals 69-year-old former mayor.
So he bought the house, thinking he would offer Davis $1,000 to leave, a transaction known in the business as cash for keys.
She didnt go for it, said Makedonsky, who sued in October to evict her.
Davis says in court filings that she is a widow living on a fixed income with nowhere else to go, that she is the victim of fraud, and that Makedonskys claims that she is squatting are bogus.
I dont care what hes calling me, that doesnt make it true, said Davis, who ultimately lost the Nov. 6 election to Mayor Daisy Black, netting just 18 percent of the vote.
Davis, who was El Portals vice mayor from 2004 to 2008 and then mayor until 2010, has so far been successful in fending off Makedonskys eviction attempts.
Makedonsky received a judgment for removal of tenant from Judge Shelley Kravitz on Nov. 13. The next day, Davis filed for protection based on her ongoing bankruptcy case, which can halt eviction proceedings. Her motion was dismissed, but Davis filed an emergency motion Nov. 27 saying she was the victim of fraud.
Kravitz then issued a stay, putting things on hold pending the results of a hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
In filings, Davis said she and her husband, David Davis, lived in the home starting in 1997. She said she sold the property just before her husband died in 2005 to a family member, who allowed them to stay but defaulted on his payments.
Once he defaulted on the loan, I found out that fraudulent documents had been passed, Davis wrote in court papers. I have been trying to fight this thing for two years to no avail. I have proof because the mortgage person that brokered the deal is now in prison.
Her motion does not mention the name of the mortgage person, and Davis declined to explain how shed been defrauded when a reporter visited the home.
Records on file with the Miami-Dade County Recorder and Property Appraiser show that Davis and her late husband paid $20,000 in 2000 for the home via a quit claim deed, which transfers a grantors interest in a property without guaranteeing they own it or have clear title. Five years later, they sold the property for $375,000 to an Andre L. Williams, and signed over a warranty deed. Williams sold the home a year later to a Joel Mena, who after finishing bankruptcy proceedings, was foreclosed on in 2010 by U.S. Bank N.A., which purchased the property at auction.
Davis, however, fought the foreclosure. She appealed to Floridas Third District Court of Appeal, which dismissed her case.
Davis is still fighting. She filed suit Dec. 6 against the bank over the foreclosure.
Makedonsky doesnt believe her story. He thinks Davis is finding ways to stall eviction so she can live rent-free in his mothers retirement home.
This is a sophisticated squatter. She was mayor of the town, and shes playing the system, Makedonsky said.
While Makedonsky bought his home on a private auction, attorneys say more horror stories come from the clerks foreclosure auction in Miami-Dade, a county where there is a backlog of 53,000 foreclosure cases.
Nearly 100,000 properties have been listed on the clerks online auction since it opened three years ago. Last year, an average of 100 properties were sent to auction each day.
Properties can be pulled off of auction or purchased at the last minute by the distressed homes owner, so not every property listed was auctioned. But Donet, the foreclosure attorney, said the vast new real estate frontier is attracting a new clientele, many of whom havent done the proper research on the properties theyre trying to buy.
There are riches for sure, he said. But you may be opening up a can of worms thats very expensive to get out of.
Attorney Ferrer Shane said the most common mistake buyers make is not understanding what it is theyre buying. Many clients drop thousands on a home thinking theyre buying a foreclosed mortgage when theyre actually buying an association lien that will be trumped by the lender when the bank finally forecloses.
Thats what happened to Maria Alonso, who spent $9,100 in May on a 2,600-square-foot home in The Hammocks. The home was at auction because of a $7,482 judgment held by the Panache Homeowners Association over unpaid assessments by the previous owner.
Alonso, however, thought shed bought the home outright and after fighting for three months to evict the previous tenants, she leased the home out, according to daughter-in-law Dayana De Latorre. And then they got a notice that their new property was to be auctioned again on Dec. 13, this time due to a judgment held by Wells Fargo.
De Latorre said her in-laws, who bought the house with settlement money from a personal injury claim, have challenged the sale and have a court date set for Wednesday. But theyre not sure what will happen next.
Its been very confusing. Theres not a lot of help out there, she said.
For investors who have already bought a problem property, thats true, said Shane, the attorney.
Youve got to win the war before the first shots fired, he said. You got to know what youre getting into.
In Makedonskys case, he didnt know enough about Floridas landlord-tenant laws, which favor the occupant, said Shari Olefson, a real estate attorney and the author of Foreclosure Nation: Mortgaging the American Dream. Occupants can delay and delay because evicting someone from a home requires a sheriff in this case the Miami-Dade police and a court order.
The burden is on the landlord to dot their Is and cross their Ts, and a tenant who is savvy can take advantage of that, she said.
Until the case is resolved, Makedonsky is splitting his time in South Florida between a friends El Portal house and a North Miami Beach home owned by Swacarioca, an investment company that buys foreclosed houses. He and his mother are listed among the owners of the company.
Meanwhile, his mother, JoAnn Makedonsky, is living in an Arizona retirement community. She said most of her belongings are packed up in boxes or have been sold off to make the move to Florida cheaper whenever that happens.
Its ridiculous, she said. I never heard of such a thing, that you buy a house and then people dont want to leave.

Score: Meets
The Department of Justice registered 3 high-value data sets on data.gov on January 22, 2010.
Criminal Victimization Survey for 2008
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) annual victimization survey is based on the most wide-ranging survey of households and provides the nation's primary source of information on criminal victimizations. The report's statistics are valued by the media, Congress, victims' rights and other groups and academic researchers. Although the 2008 report had already been released, in October 2009, this was the first time the household-level data, appropriately processed to ensure confidentiality, was released to the public in an unrestricted access format via data.gov.
Radiation Exposure Compensation Program (RECA)
RECA was passed by Congress in1990 to provide partial restitution for those with serious illnesses after exposure to radiation released during nuclear tests or after employment in the uranium industry. The program enables claimants to use existing records so their claims can be resolved in a reliable and objective manner with little administrative cost. The three data sets made available on Jan. 22, 2010, for the first time were considered to be of high value to researchers and others interested in the administration of this important program, government outreach efforts, patterns of claims filed, and compensation awarded. T he data is broken down by claims filed, pending,denied or approved, plus amount of compensation awarded, by state or country of residence , providing information that will help interested parties learn more about the program's operation.
Final Reports filed by Chapter 7 Trustees
The US Trustee Program (USTP) oversees the administration of federal bankruptcy cases, including oversight of the private trustees who administer Chapter 7 cases. Their final reports are of high value to those interested in the bankruptcy process including researchers studying how the bankruptcy process is working, especially given the rise in bankruptcy filings over the past several years. The data covers tens of thousands of observations included in these trustee reports, as well as data regarding use of the English-language assistance programs in the bankruptcy process and USTP civil enforcement data. This information will assist the public and researches understand the administration of the bankruptcy process and the USTP.

Star Wars I Know V-Neck Ladies' Tee
"I Love You"
To be clear, that's Leia talking in the quotes up there, not us here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ. We love you, too, but not in the same way Leia loves Han. That'd just be weird.Read more...
"I Love You"
Air travel makes us a little swirly and giddy, what with all the cabin pressure and pondering the physics holding up the plane. We suspect space travel would, too. And, now that we come to think of it, new love makes us feel that way, also. So it's no surprise that Leia finally admitting her love for Han outloud might feel a little swirly and giddy in the moment. This shirt captures that feeling perfectly.
Han and Leia kiss on the front of this grey, 100% cotton shirt. Features a v-neck and delicate spirals with the words "I know" subtly integrated. Imported. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry.

Hold up! Before you think you can run off to the App store and pick up iPhone Modem, think again. This one's for jailbreak(ed) iPhones only, that is until Apple approves their app, which has been the 'approval queue' since July. To start you'll need to install the computer app on your machine. Once that's setup and running, open your iPhone's settings and under WiFi, join the 'iPhoneModem' network. After that, launch the App on the iPhone and you're in business. 10 seconds and you're tethering.
Note that the App is shareware, so you'll probably wanna fork over the $10. As usual, watch your bandwidth usage. AT&T monitors this type of stuff, and if you get caught they can shut you down.

Comments about Pirate Cutie Tween Costume:
I wore it to 7th grade and everyone was giving me complements and I was the only one in school to have it so that was nice, and if you wear shorts underneath its not itchy but the tights it had were to small for me cuz I have thunder thighs (I hate them) but the rest of the outfit was perfect.
And I loved it so much I wearing it to 8th grade :D <3
Comments about Pirate Cutie Tween Costume:
I used the product for trick or treating and it looked great.. Now I am all about special effects and the more horror and blood the better so with a ghostly wig,a lot of makeup, and some blood with a little tearing I made it pretty horror oriented. It is stylish and still a great costume. It is a little scratchy and I had to re sew the straps because they are weak. It is also quite short and you cannot bend over and I wore small shorts under the tights and dress to be safe... All in all, the quality could be better but it is still a great costume with great accessories.

We caught up with Paul Goydos Sunday shortly after he finished one of the greatest weeks of his career at THE PLAYERS Championship. Around the top of the leaderboard all week following a first round 68, Goydos hung tough over the weekend, even when wind gusts picked up Sunday and were blowing golf balls all over the course. Goydos was steady in closing with a 2-over 74 to enter a sudden death playoff where he came just short of capturing his third career PGA Tour victory. Goydos wore a pair of custom Classics Dry Premiere "wave" pattern shoes and a SciFlex glove during Sunday's final round.
Watch this interview to hear some of the highlights from his final round and the week overall.
Click on the picture above to hear Paul's post round interview.
FootJoy player Colt Knost, the 2007 U.S. Amateur champion, captured his first victory as a professional with a blazing final round 5-under par 65 to win the Fort Smith Classic. Knost overcame a 6-shot deficit to edge fellow FootJoy loyalist Darron Stiles by one shot. Needing just 23 putts during the final round, Colt finished the week fourth in Putts per GIR and tied for seventh in Greens Hit in Regulation.
Knost, who started the day in 41st place, finished at 12-under 268 and then had to wait for over an hour before his victory was sealed. Despite the runner-up finish, Stiles' effort vaulted him from sixth to first on the Nationwide money list.

Lorena Ochoa is competing this week at the Michelob ULTRA Open coming off her second worst performance of the year last week...a tie for fifth! In seven tournaments so far this year, she has five wins, a tie for eighth and a tie for fifth. It's a remarkable start to the year that has people talking about all sorts of records previously considered unattainable.
She has her work cut out for her right from the start this week, as the #1 ranked women's golfer is paired with the #2 and #3 ranked players for the first two rounds. Showing poise under added pressure and attention, she fired a clutch 6-under 65 in cool, damp conditions and is tied for third after round one.
As you can see in the image, in addition to her customary white Classics, Lorena opted for the black/red Performance Light Jacket (style #33673) during yesterday's first round.
Also, check out this great article in Virginia's Daily Press about Lorena's impact on and off the golf course and how she embraces the opportunity to be a role model for young people.

Re: " . . . . the pipeline came within 2 or 3 feet of falling off their supports" That amazes me. Our engineering is marvelous; especially when pitted against "Mother Nature" Haha. We have friends that moved to Alaska about 5 years ago. My wife wanted to move there; feeling adventurous. We have 9 children and she thought that the 11 of us would earn a lot of money being citizens.That's much too cold for me, however. It gets too cold here in Florida to suit me. I'm certain that you have experienced cold winters in Grand Rapids. I used to live in Buffalo, but I wouldn't want to live there permanently. I'm still thinking about your comment that the pipeline came within 2 to 3 feet from falling off the supports. Wow.
I enjoyed your post on the KXL; never realizing how well the Alaskan pipeline was engineered and built. To where would one go to read more about said construction; especially that portion about the testing it took during earthquakes? Thanks. SA

Similar to a number of western states, the state, cities and counties in Arizona play a significant role in licensing and regulating. Cities often take care of some of the most local issues like valet parking, while counties manage health permitting, particularly food businesses. Arizona itself oversees many industries, particularly professions and businesses that affect public safety.
In Arizona, retail businesses of all sorts including toy stores, clothing shops, photography businesses and general merchandisers need licenses and permits. In most cases, retail businesses take relatively few licenses – however being registered for all state and local taxes is important as is having any needed general business licenses.

I've always had very thin skin under my eyes that I inherited from my mother. I also have my dad's bone structure so the shadowing makes my dark circles even worse. When I stretch the skin I can see there is no discolouration I am very interested in fat grafting as a semi permanent solution, Im happy to fly to america to get it done, these dark circles are seriously affecting my mental health Do i look like a good candidate for under eye surgery? what is my best option? thanks
Am I a Candidate for Fat Grafting for Under Eye Hollows? (photo)
Doctor Answers (11)
Lower lid fat grafting candidate
From the photo you provided it does appear that improving the volume of your lower eyelid and cheek would help with the shadowing you see there. Fat grafting provides an excellent, customizable method of improving the fullness of the face. As you mentioned, the bone structure of your cheek is predisposing you to the hollowing. Rebuilding the underlying skin and soft tissue support should improve the overall contours there.
Web reference: http://www.drlamperti.com/facial-plastic-surgery/facial-fat-grafting
Fat grafting under eye
Based on your photos it appears that you would be a good candidate for fat grafting to the under eye hollows and upper cheek area. The fact you feel that the dark circles are affecting your mental health is concerning.
Web reference: http://www.seattleface.com/html/fat_injection.php
Fat grafting under the eyes...
Fat injection works great under the eyes. It is a very simple process to go through and can give long lasting results. Under a local anesthetic, the fat can be harvested from a love handle. It is then processed and injected under the eyes in a couple of sessions spread three months apart. The fat is predictable, long lasting and looks very natural. Certain fillers like Juvederm can be unpredictable under the eyes due to the fact they can absorb water and cause swelling. From your photo, you look like you would be a good candidate, but be sure to be seen by a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon first.

Fat grafting to lower eyelids
You are a good candidate for volume replacement in the periorbital area. Specifically addressing your concerns fat grafting or restylane would be a good option. I would recommending a non surgical approach with restylane first, and it should last upward of a year and if at that point you wanted something with more staying power consider fat grafting. Undertstand these things need to be injected deep and still the risk of contour irregularities still exist.
Fat Grafting and Arcus Marginalis Release are the best solution for correction of lower eyelid Hollow Eyes
Open Fat grafting, NOT FAT INJECTION, after Release of the Arcus marginalis is an excellent solution for correction of Hollow Eyes of the lower eyelid.
The depression that you see below the lower eyelid creates a shadow which causes the dark circle under the eye. This depression often called the Nasojugal Fold or Arcus Deformity is caused by the attachment of the Arcus Marginalis to the bone of the eye socket.
Releasing the Arcus Marginalis and placing a Fat Graft underneath the depression will correct the dark circle and improve the hollow look.
Fat Injection or fat transfer cannot correct the attachment of the Arcus Marginalis and without this the deformity will not be corrected.
See the link below for further information.

Tear trough fat grafting
Indeed this is a difficult problem to fix and there are several options.
1) Implants
2) Fillers such as Restylane and Juvaderm
3) Fat grafts
4) Midface lift
Personally, I prefer to start with fillers and see how the patient responds. If favorable, then a trial of fat grafting may be in order. And as many of the other responders have already mentioned, this is a very difficult area to treat.
Fat grafting for under eye hollows
It does look like you may be a candidate for fat transfer. But this procedure is best for restoring volume to the whole face and is not always wonderful in this location where the skin is quite thin and there is a reasonable chance of lumpiness even when done by the most experienced surgeons. I would suggest that before you seek a long term solution to this distressing problem, that you consider an HA filler (my choice is Restylane) to see if you are happy with the results achieved. It may be all that you require for now.
Web reference: http://kassmd.com
It does work
Fat grafting does work for under-eye hollows.It may need to be repeated after few months for fine tuning the results.You should consult a surgeon experienced in facial fat grafting to understand the procedure further.
Fat grafting for under eye hollows
The addition of volume, with either fat grafts or fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, or Radiesse is often a great solution to the tired eye appearance from under eye hollows (tear troughs.) You would need an expert opinion based on a personal examination to determine if it is right for ou.
Web reference: http://baxterplasticsurgery.com/injectables.htm
Facial Fat Grafting
Thank you for providing the photo. It appears you have an area of concavity below your lower lids. I believe fat grafting would be helpful to blend the contours of the lower lid and cheek. This area of the lower lid can be a problem for the inexperienced surgeon. If not done correctly, the fat placed in this area can lead to contour irregularities. I advise you find a surgeon with experience in facial reshaping with fat.

Narrow your search
If you're looking to upgrade your computer's main hard drive, the Transcend SSD720 is a strong option.
Compact and fast, the Transcend ESD200 is an excellent storage and backup extension for your USB 3.0-enabled laptop.
Although the Transcend SSD18M solid-state drive is astronomically expensive, the price is balanced with its tiny footprint and impressive transfer speeds. It's easy to geek out on the beauty of the design, and even though hardcore nerds will love its versatility, the simple fact is that bargain-hunting consumers can get much higher capacities for a lot less, at least for now.
The Transcend StoreJet 25 Mobile stomps the competition and lives to fight another day, thanks to its rugged military-grade exterior. It also delivers chart topping transfer speeds and offers the cheapest cost per gigabyte on the market today. We fully recommend this tough little drive.
While other external hard drives offer built-in backup software, automatic data encryption, or rugged casing protection, the Transcend StoreJet 25F only promises, and delivers, the fastest data transfers at the lowest price. The missing FireWire prevents us from giving this Transcend an Editors' Choice award, but we still highly recommend this drive to storage hounds who don't mind USB 2.0.
For videographers shooting high-resolution video, the Taiwanese flash-card maker has two new choices with faster write speeds and capacities up to 128GB.
It's somewhat slower memory, but it's still faster than a solid-state drive for those who need serious amounts of memory.
The Transcend T.sonic 600 series is an easy-to-use, compact, and affordable player with decent extras such as voice recording and an FM tuner, but its lack of support for protected WMAs and its lackluster overall performance drag it down.
Poor battery life and a thin set of features makes this photo viewer with a built-in MP3 player a secondary choice.
Pricing not available
Data hits the road with Transcend's inexpensive StoreJet USB hard drive, but it's hardly high performance.

First wave of European colonization
|European colonization

|First colonization
|Colonization of Canada
|Colonization of the U.S.
The first European colonization wave took place from the early 15th century (Portuguese conquest of Ceuta in 1415) until the early 19th century (French invasion of Algeria in 1830), and primarily involved the European colonization of the Americas, though it also included the creation of European colonies in India and Maritime Southeast Asia. During this period, European interests in Africa were primarily focused on the establishment of trading posts there, particularly for the Atlantic slave trade.
The time period in which much of the first wave of European colonization (and other exploratory ventures) occurred is often labeled the Age of Discovery. The second major phase of European colonization, which was primarily focused on Africa and Asia, is known as the period of the New Imperialism.

The Role of the Church[edit]
Religious zeal played a large role in Spanish and Portuguese overseas activities. While the Pope himself was a political power to be heeded (as evidenced by his authority to decree whole continents open to colonization by particular kings), the Church also sent missionaries to convert to the Catholic faith the indigenous of other continents. Thus, the 1455 Papal Bull Romanus Pontifex granted the Portuguese all lands behind Cape Bojador and allowed them to reduce pagans and other enemies of Christ to perpetual slavery.[1]
Later, the 1481 Papal Bull Aeterni regis granted all lands south of the Canary Islands to Portugal, while in May 1493 the Spanish-born Pope Alexander VI decreed in the Bull Inter caetera that all lands west of a meridian only 100 leagues west of the Cape Verde Islands should belong to Spain while new lands discovered east of that line would belong to Portugal. These arrangements were later precised with the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas.
The Dominicans and Jesuits, notably Francis Xavier in Asia, were particularly active in this endeavour. Many buildings erected by the Jesuits still stand, such as the Cathedral of Saint Paul in Macau and the Santisima Trinidad de Paraná in Paraguay, an example of a Jesuit Reduction.
Spanish treatment of the indigenous populations provoked a fierce debate at home in 1550-51, dubbed the Valladolid debate, over whether Indians possessed souls and if so, whether they were entitled to the basic rights of mankind. Bartolomé de Las Casas, author of A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, championed the cause of the natives, and was opposed by Sepúlveda, who claimed Amerindians were "natural slaves".
The School of Salamanca, which gathered theologians such as Francisco de Vitoria (1480–1546) or Francisco Suárez (1548–1617), argued in favor of the existence of natural law, which thus gave some rights to indigenous people. However, while the School of Salamanca limited Charles V's imperial powers over colonized people, they also legitimized the conquest, defining the conditions of "Just War". For example, these theologians admitted the existence of the right for indigenous people to reject religious conversion, which was a novelty for Western philosophical thought. However, Suárez also conceived many particular cases — a casuistry — in which conquest was legitimized. Hence, war was justified if the indigenous people refused free transit and commerce to the Europeans; if they forced converts to return to idolatry; if there come to be a sufficient number of Christians in the newly discovered land that they wish to receive from the Pope a Christian government; if the indigenous people lacked just laws, magistrates, agricultural techniques, etc. In any case, title taken according to this principle must be exercised with Christian charity, warned Suárez, and for the advantage of the Indians. Henceforth, the School of Salamanca legitimized the conquest while at the same time limiting the absolute power of the sovereign, which was celebrated in others parts of Europe under the notion of the divine right of kings.
In the 1970s, the Jesuits would become a main proponent of the Liberation theology which openly supported anti-imperialist movements. It was officially condemned in 1984 and in 1986 by then cardinal Ratzinger (now ex-Pope) as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, under charges of Marxist tendencies, while Leonardo Boff was suspended.
Northern European challenges to Iberian hegemony[edit]
It was not long before the exclusivity of Iberian claims to the Americas was challenged by other European powers, primarily the Netherlands, France and England: the view taken by the rulers of these nations is epitomized by the quotation attributed to Francis I of France demanding to be shown the clause in Adam's will excluding his authority from the New World.
This challenge initially took the form of privateering raids (such as that led by Francis Drake) on Spanish treasure fleets or coastal settlements, but later, Northern European countries began establishing settlements of their own, primarily in areas that were outside of Spanish interests, such as what is now the eastern seaboard of the United States and Canada, or islands in the Caribbean, such as Aruba, Martinique and Barbados, that had been abandoned by the Spanish in favour of the mainland and larger islands.
Whereas Spanish colonialism was based on the religious conversion and exploitation of local populations via encomiendas (many Spaniards emigrated to the Americas to elevate their social status, and were not interested in manual labour), Northern European colonialism was frequently bolstered by people fleeing religious persecution or intolerance (for example, the Mayflower voyage). The motive for emigration was not to become an aristocrat nor to spread one's faith but to start afresh in a new society, where life would be hard but one would be free to exercise one's religious beliefs. The most populous emigration of the 17th century was that of the English, and after a series of wars with the Dutch and the French the English overseas possessions came to dominate the east coast of North America, an area stretching from Virginia northwards to New England and Newfoundland, although during the 17th century an even greater number of English emigrants settled in the West Indies.
However, the English, French and Dutch were no more averse to making a profit than the Spanish and Portuguese, and whilst their areas of settlement in the Americas proved to be devoid of the precious metals found by the Spanish, trade in other commodities and products that could be sold at massive profit in Europe provided another reason for crossing the Atlantic, in particular furs from Canada, tobacco and cotton grown in Virginia and sugar in the islands of the Caribbean and Brazil. Due to the massive depletion of indigenous labour, plantation owners had to look elsewhere for manpower for these labour-intensive crops. They turned to the centuries old slave trade of west Africa and began transporting humans across the Atlantic on a massive scale - historians estimate that the Atlantic slave trade brought between 10 and 12 million individuals to the New World. The islands of the Caribbean soon came to be populated by slaves of African descent, ruled over by a white minority of plantation owners interested in making a fortune and then returning to their home country to spend it.
Rule in the colonies: the Leyes de Burgos and the Code Noir[edit]
The January 27, 1512 Leyes de Burgos codified the government of the indigenous people of the New World, since the common law of Spain wasn't applied in these recently discovered territories. The scope of the laws were originally restricted to the island of Hispaniola, but were later extended to Puerto Rico and Jamaica. They authorized and legalized the colonial practice of creating encomiendas, where Indians were grouped together to work under colonial masters, limiting the size of these establishments to a minimum of 40 and a maximum of 150 people. The document finally prohibited the use of any form of punishment by the encomenderos, reserving it for officials established in each town for the implementation of the laws. It also ordered that the Indians be catechesized, outlawed bigamy, and required that the huts and cabins of the Indians be built together with those of the Spanish. It respected, in some ways, the traditional authorities, granting chiefs exemptions from ordinary jobs and granting them various Indians as servants. The poor fulfilment of the laws in many cases lead to inummerable protests and claims. In fact, the laws were so often poorly applied that they were seen as simply a legalization of the previous poor situation. This would create momentum for reform, carried out through the Leyes Nuevas ("New Laws") in 1542. Ten years later, Dominican friar Bartolomé de las Casas would publish A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies, in the midst of the Valladolid Controversy, a debate about the existence or not of souls in Amerindians bodies. Las Casas, bishop of Chiapas, was opposed to Sepúlveda, who claimed Amerindians were "natural slaves"...
In the French empire, slave trade and other colonial rules were regulated by Louis XIV's 1689 Code Noir.
Role of companies in early colonialism[edit]
From its very outset, Western colonialism was operated as a joint public-private venture. Columbus' voyages to the Americas were partially funded by Italian investors, but whereas the Spanish state maintained a tight reign on trade with its colonies (by law, the colonies could only trade with one designated port in the mother country and treasure was brought back in special convoys), the English, French and Dutch granted what were effectively trade monopolies to joint-stock companies such as the East India Companies and the Hudson's Bay Company.
European colonies in India during the first wave of colonization[edit]
In 1498, the Portuguese arrived in Goa. Rivalry among reigning European powers saw the entry of the Dutch, British, French, Danish among others. The fractured debilitated kingdoms of India were gradually taken over by the Europeans and indirectly controlled by puppet rulers. In 1600, Queen Elizabeth I accorded a charter, forming the East India Company to trade with India and eastern Asia. The British landed in India in Surat in 1624. By the 19th century, they had assumed direct and indirect control over most of India.
Destruction of the Amerindian population[edit]
The arrival of the conquistadores caused the annihilation of most of the Amerindians. However, contemporary historians now generally reject the Black Legend according to which the brutality of the European colonists accounted for most of the deaths. It is now generally believed that diseases, such as the smallpox, brought upon by the Columbian Exchange, were the greatest destroyer, although the brutality of the conquest itself isn't contested. As late as in the 19th century, Juan Manuel de Rosas, Argentinian caudillo from 1829 to 1852, openly pursued the extermination of the local population, an event related by Darwin in The Voyage of the Beagle (1839). He was then followed by the "Conquest of the Desert" in the 1870-80s.The result was the death of a lot of the mapuche and arauccan population in the Patagonia. After the Amerindians' quasi-total disparition, the mines and the sugar cane plantations thus led to the booming of the Atlantic slave trade, especially apparent in the Caribbean where the largest ethnic group is of African descent.
Contemporary historians debate the legitimacy of calling the quasi-disparition of the Amerindians a "genocide". Estimates of pre-Columbian population have ranged from a low of 8.4 million to a high of 112.5 million persons; in 1976, geographer William Denevan derived a "consensus count" of about 54 million people.[2]
David Stannard has argued that "The destruction of the Indians of the Americas was, far and away, the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world", with almost 100 million Amerindians killed in what he calls the American Holocaust. Like Ward Churchill, he believes that the American natives were deliberately and systematically exterminated over the course of several centuries, and that the process continues to the present day.[3]
Stannard's claim of 100 million deaths has been disputed because he makes no distinction between death from violence and death from disease. In response, political scientist R. J. Rummel has instead estimated that over the centuries of European colonization about 2 million to 15 million American indigenous people were the victims of what he calls democide. "Even if these figures are remotely true", writes Rummel, "then this still make this subjugation of the Americas one of the bloodier, centuries long, democides in world history." [4]
Atlantic slave trade[edit]
Independence in the Americas[edit]
The Thirteen Colonies[edit]
After the conclusion of the Seven Years' War in 1763, Britain had emerged as the world's dominant power, but found itself mired in debt and struggling to finance the Navy and Army necessary to maintain a global empire. The British Parliament's attempt to raise taxes on the North American colonists raised fears among the Americans that their rights as "Englishmen", particularly their rights of self-government, were in danger. A series of disputes with Parliament over taxation led first to informal committees of correspondence among the colonies, then to coordinated protest and resistance, and finally to the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, by the Second Continental Congress.
The Haitian Revolution and the abolition of slavery[edit]
The Haitian Revolution, led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, led to the abolition of slavery in the colony and then to the founding of the world's first black republic. On February 4, 1794, nearly three years after the initial slave uprising in the colony, the French Republic announced a repeal of slavery, which had regulated by the 1689 Code Noir. The Abbé Grégoire and the Society of the Friends of the Blacks, led by Jacques Pierre Brissot, were part of the abolitionist movement, which had laid important groundwork in building anti-slavery sentiment in the metropole. The first article of the law stated that "Slavery is repealed" in the French colonies, while the second article stated that "slave-owners would be indemnified", with a financial compensation. On May 10, 1802, colonel Delgrès signed a public notice, which was a call to Guadeloupe for insurgency against general Richepanse, sent by Napoleon to reestablish slavery. The rebellion was repressed, and slavery reestablished. It would be definitely abolished on April 27, 1848, by the decree-law Schœlcher under the Second Republic (1848–52). Slaves were brought back to the colonists (Békés in Creole) and then freed by the state.
Wars of Independence in Latin America[edit]
The Mexican War of Independence (1810–1821) and the various wars in South America (Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Peru) in the 1810s and 1820s led by famous Libertadores such as José de San Martín in the south and Simón Bolívar in the north, brought independence from Spain to most Latin American countries.
As in North America, the independent territories still had to be fully explored. Thus, in Argentina, caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas pursued the "conquest of the desert" from 1829 to 1852, explicitly leading a "campaign of extermination" against the indigenous people (source?). The Empire of Brazil was proclaimed in 1822 by Dom Pedro I. The 1888 Lei Áurea abolished slavery, creating public uproar among Brazilian slave owners and upper classes, which was the immediate cause of the toppling of the monarchy and the establishment of a republic in 1889.
The 1898 Spanish-American War, during which the United States occupied Cuba and Puerto Rico, ended Spanish occupation in the Americas.

Kyle Goes to CES for Some Reason
Greetings from the FABULOUS Sahara Hotel and Casino, way at the north end of the Las Vegas strip. I'm told this place was actually a big deal back in the golden age of "Rat Pack" Vegas, when it was one of the first major hotels on the strip. Now, though, its old-fashioned furniture and faded color scheme make it seem a little run down and neglected compared to the gaudy, glittering, over-the-top casinos on the rest of the strip.
So it's somewhat appropriate that I'm staying here for the duration of my second visit to the annual Consumer Electronics Show this week. The show is undoubtedly an important part of gaming history, serving as the industry's premiere annual showcase for decades before E3 took the reins. But much like the Sahara, CES' best days are obviously behind it, at least from a gaming perspective. Despite what show organizers are touting as "the largest gaming showcase in the show's history," the line-up of gaming companies here this week doesn't exactly read like a who's-who (unless you consider minor rhythm game distrubutor DDRGame a major player). Even outside the gaming industry, this year's show seems like a distraction from major announcements from the likes of Google (which unveiled a new phone today not here in Las Vegas, but at Google HQ in Mountain View, CA) and Apple (which is expected to announce a new tablet computer later this month).
Still, I'm expecting a good deal of interesting, somewhat offbeat gaming stories coming to come out of the week. Capcom is here showing off some upcoming games, and I'll be seeing a demo of the upcoming Lego Universe MMO. Major peripheral manufacturers Nyko and MadCatz will be showing off new controllers and accessories, as will seemingly thousands of other minor peripheral companies hawking everything from $5 Wii remote attachments to $40,000 home racing simulators. There are a few PC makers making a renewed push for gamers this year, and a few promising technologies that could well effect the future of gaming in their own way (where's my glasses-free 3D TV already?) Plus gaming in Vegas doesn't just mean gambling -- look for some posts about those places where your quarters can buy you a game of skill rather than a spin at the slots.
Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a pretzel with my name on it.

Why do we sell ourselves so badly?
I have just finished being part of a team of interviewers for a major corporation and the main thing I noticed was that people in general do a poor job of selling themselves even when give the opportunity and encouragement to do so. It seems like a built in system that stops us from being our own best promoter and we default to putting on the brakes. Why is this? Are we hard wired to default to self destruction instead of self promotion?

Jan 27 2012: Edward, I don't usually get into the yahoo style of rhetoric but I find it rather presumptuous of you to assume that I nor any of us are quite as ethereal as you. Like many people who frequent the annals of TED I have spent much of my life attempting to understand my fellow traveler and, while I have come across many such people they still remain in the minority. So I ask again why is it that so many of us have a difficult time promoting ourselves when the need arises?
Jan 27 2012: I don't know what "yahoo style of rhetoric" is, there certainly are people like Edward describes, and it doesn't sound particularly "ethereal" to me. I think/feel that the way we talk, move, smile and make connections with others always projects how we feel about ourselves. Many times, that type of person doesn't need to "interview" because s/he has proved to be dependable, responsible and is welcomed into a team and/or working situation. Perhaps if we can understand what these people have, and how they offer those qualities, it could help answer the question "why do we sell ourselves so badly?" I believe this type of person projects confidence, as I've written in my other comments:>)

Talenting Consecration is generally a bad idea, as you'll notice that there are two Ret and even 1 Holy talent that produce more threat. However, Consecration is more powerful than Holy Wrath, unless of course you need the stun. The mana cost of an untalented Consecration is rather drastic-looking, but compared to its CD, it isn't as expensive as it first appears and only becomes a mana problem if you forget to Judge.

A Gilbert woman has started a unique business from her garage, and it's geared toward helping you get through any emergency."I make survival bags for women," said Dory Harrington.
Call them what you want. They're also known as 72-hour bags, go bags or bug out bags. Harrington says they're a necessary tool to survive any emergency.
"The reason I came up with my own is that everything I found on the market is really generic [and] basic. [They're] not geared toward any specific person, and then you had the ones that are doomsday prepper. [Those bags are] hardcore and weigh 80 to 90 pounds," said Harrington.
"I needed something more realistic," she continued.
Harrington calls her bags "Mombies," and she says she got the idea after realizing she was not prepared for any last-minute evacuation. "If the news said, 'Hey you need to get out now!' I was so unprepared I didn't even have a flashlight in the house. I maybe had a couple of water bottles lying around," she said.
The mother of two has another full time job but works on this business on the side. "I'm passionate about it," she said. With the recent deadly wildfire in Yarnell and flooding in Colorado, Harrington said she knew others probably felt the same way.
"We prepare for everything. We prepare for every day with our purse, our keys and our lunch bag, but we tend to forget the important stuff, and this to me is very important," she said.
Each bag is stuffed to the brim with equipment that allows a mother and her children to survive for 72 hours. They include water, food, fire-starting material and even a urination device for woman.
"I handpicked every item that goes in this bag. I really just tried to find items that were smaller, more compact but rivaled those guys who have survival bags," she stated.
The bags retail for $399, but Harrington says if you purchase the items individually, the cost would be closer to $500. She says she receives discounts because she buys in bulk. So far, she's sold about 35 bags to people throughout the country. For more information, you can access the Mombies website by clicking here.

Time for Wreckum?
Lubomir Visnovsky will have an MRI Friday and if the news is as we expect, Theo Peckham should get the call from Edmonton on Friday. Peckham can do a lot to help himself in terms of steady work in the fall (at the NHL level) and Ladislav Smid is overdue for a trip up the depth chart.
This will be an extremely interesting situation for both defenders, as coach MacT could go in a different direction. The Oilers top 3 (Souray, Gilbert & Grebeshkov) could be joined by veteran Steve Staios on the top pairings or (God forbid) Jason Strudwick.
However, Ladislav Smid has played in 177 NHL games and is 23 years old. He'll be an RFA this summer and is making $952,000 (nhlnumbers.com) with a cap hit of $886,000 (same source). Paying him more than 5-6D money will be difficult if he can't do the job.
According to Desjardins' he's playing the easiest available minutes with the least able helpers. He is -13 Corsi (better than Staios and Strudwick) and his EV GF/GA ON (13-15) is mid-pack among the Oilers NHL regulars on the blue this season.
Should the coach pass on Smid as a top 4 option, I suspect we have an early tell about what we can expect moving forward into the summer.
As for Peckham, this is a really nice chance to show he can compete for a top 6 spot in the fall. He did not do well in a cup of coffee early, but there are indications that he's having a good season on that trainwreck in Springfield. Here are the Falcons' D plus minus (over 30 games):
- Peckham -4
- Chorney -21
- Roy -23
And here's what Jonathan Willis found in terms of toughness of minutes:
- Theo Peckham: 1.834
- Cody Wild: 1.812
- Taylor Chorney: 1.693
- Josef Hrabal: 1.658
- Robbie Bina: 1.651
- Mathieu Roy: 1.608
- Ryan Constant: 1.571
- Jake Taylor: 1.481
- Bryan Young: 1.476
- Sebastien Bisaillon: 1.309
- Mike Gabinet: 1.130
I'd say there isn't much competiton in terms of possible callups, although Cody Wild has nice numbers in the time he's been in the AHL.

I am looking for a command that will accept as input multiple lines of text, each line containing a single integer, and output the sum of these integers.
As a bit of background, I have a log file which includes timing measurements, so through grepping for the relevant lines, and a bit of
sed reformatting I can list all of the timings in that file. I'd like to work out the total however, and my mind has gone blank as to any command I can pipe this intermediate output to in order to do the final sum. I've always used
expr in the past, but unless it runs in RPN mode I don't think it's going to cope with this (and even then it would be tricky).
What am I missing? Given that there are probably several ways to achieve this, I'll be happy to read (and upvote) any approach that works, even if someone else has already posted a different solution that does the job.

NEW ALBANY, Ind. (WHAS11) -- The Floyd County prosecutor announced the findings of a grand jury investigation into the deaths of a New Albany mother and her two children during a news conference Thursday.
Keith Henderson said the grand jury found Jaime Clutter did not kill herself or her children, and her husband was not responsible for their deaths either.
"There's no evidence that suggests that based on an interchange with that neighbor that Jaime was attempting to kill her children," Henderson said.
Jaime Clutter, 35,and her two children, 10-year-old Brandon and 6-month-old Katelyn, were found in Falling Run Creek at Binford Park on a chilly day back in March. The windchill that day was 18 degrees.
After five days and 17 witnesses, including a medical examiner, a psychological expert and a hypothermia specialist, the grand jury ruled they drowned, and apparently, hypothermia could have set in within a couple minutes and caused "disorientation and confusion."
The family was found with no clothes and their bodies were scraped by rocks in the creek. The prosecutor said they may have removed their clothes due to extreme disorientation.
After the initial investigation, police said Jaime suffered from postpartum depression, mental illness and drowned herself and her two kids.
Cpl. Carrie East, New Albany Police Detective, said: "Incoherent statements, delusions of grandiose proportions, of demonic presences, that the family was being stalked by these presences."
Something her husband disagreed with when the initial investigation began.
Husband, Michael Clutter, said on March 18: "I never seen any signs whatsoever, because if I would have seen signs, I would have been able to do something to prevent this. We don't have any mental health or medical records that I'm aware of."
The prosecutor said investigators consider the case closed unless someone else comes forward with compelling evidence or information. He said he has no problems with New Albany Police even though their findings were completely different from that of a grand jury.

Your online purchases are on the verge of getting more expensive as the Senate has passed a new internet tax bill.
Supporters of this say it's not a new tax, it simply forces companies to collect sales taxes that are already due, but as a practical matter, this could cost all of us.
There's no denying the convenience of buying online -- or the savings.
Right now, only companies with a physical presence in your state -- like Best Buy, for instance, are required to collect a sales tax.
The Senate just voted to change that -- a matter of fairness, say supporters.
"People were coming in and they were show rooming, they would come into the store and say I'm looking for some running shoes and I can't decide... oh this is just perfect let me write this down, you know what happened next? They ordered it on the internet and paid no sales tax," said Sen. Dick Durbin.
And this is making for odd bedfellows.
As you might expect, Walmart wants online retailers to do what they do -- collect sales tax.
But so does Amazon.com. Why? Because the internet giant now has distribution centers in more and more states, forcing them to collect more and more taxes anyway, so they want everyone else to have to do the same.
And many state and local governments all over the country are salivating at the prospect of a new tidal wave of tax income.
On the other hand, eBay, which works with small online sellers is opposed to it, and critics say relatively small internet businesses will be forced to charge more and comply with thousands of state and local tax laws.
"You're getting this alliance of all the big companies coming together saying let's put this big regulatory burden on the small guys because it will drive our competition out of business," said Sen. Ted Cruz on FOX Business Network's "Your World with Neil Cavuto."
This will still have to pass the House though, a prospects there are iffy.
