In This Issue:
by Branko Radulovacki, M.D., Psychiatrist and FaithWorks Founder
FaithWorks annual Family, Faith and Mental Health Conference held on November 17, 2011 in Atlanta featured Harold Koenig, M.D., an internationally-recognized expert on the effect of spirituality on health, as its keynote speaker. The conference explored the effects of faith on physical and emotional health, as well as mental well-being.
According to Dr. Koenig, Director of the Center for Spirituality, Theology and Health at Duke University, many people are religious and highly value the spiritual aspects of life. For them, and even for those who dont currently consider themselves religious, spirituality holds the promise of providing protection from health problems, helping them cope with problems they face and, possibly, influencing their remission.
Dr. Koenig referred to the Handbook of Religion and Health, 2nd ed. (Oxford University Press, 2011) as a valuable resource for those interested in quantitative research on this broad topic. It summarizes all studies published in peer-reviewed academic/scientific journals in the English language, from 1872-2010. This comprehensive resource lists approximately 2,000 studies, many of which focus on mental health.
The research Dr. Koenig discussed focused specifically on religions effect on emotional disordersdepression, suicide and substance use, well-being and happiness (defined in terms of meaning, purpose and hope, as well as the traits of forgiveness, altruism, gratitude and compassion), social health/support, social capital and marital stability.
He said that in terms of its effect on depression, religious involvement correlates with less depression and faster recovery from depression in 272 of 444 quantitative studies (61 percent). More depression was noted in only 6 percent of all studies. Religious involvement also correlates to fewer suicides, and more negative attitudes toward suicide, in 106 of 141 studies (75 percent). And, studies consistently reveal less alcohol use, abuse and/or dependence among those practicing their religious beliefs in 240 of 278 studies (86 percent).
Seventy-two percent of published research documents a greater sense of well-being and happiness for those involved with religion (256 of 356 studies).Specifically, religious involvement is related to significantly greater meaning and purpose in life in 42 of 45 studies (93 percent), significantly greater hope (29 of 40 studies, 73 percent), and significantly greater optimism (26 of 32 studies, 81 percent). These measures of well-being are concurrent with significantly more forgiveness (34 of 40 studies, 85 percent), significantly more altruism/volunteering (33 of 47 studies, 70 percent), and significantly more gratitude, compassion and kindness (8 of 8 studies, 100 percent).
Additionally, religious involvement correlates to significantly greater social support (61 of 74 studies, 82 percent) and in greater marital stability (68 of 79 studies, 86 percent).
Therefore, almost 150 years of quantitative research indicates that practicing ones faith may dramatically improve both health and quality of life. How should we respond to these findings? Dr. Koenig said (only half-jokingly) that providers consider prescribing religion to their patients. He then concluded that we should share this information with both mental health providers and with clergy. Educating these key groups about the important role religion and faith can play in enhancing well-being and mental health will enable them to care for others more effectively. We should also look for ways to encourage mental health advocacy groups, such as NAMI, to use this information to build and enhance partnerships with mental health providers and faith communities.
Founded in 2008, FaithWorks was created to galvanize a meaningful response to Georgias state mental health crisis. The mission of FaithWorks is to unite a proactive, faith-powered body and lead way toward a better quality of life for those with mental and/or addictive illnesses and their families through education, innovation and championing effective solutions to intractable problems.
by Katrina Gay, Director of Communications, NAMI
It is the time of year when we often review our activities to reflect on our annual goals and mark our progress, all the while processing any challenges and celebrating what we hope are our successes. It is also the time of year when we consider a gift to the causes that mean the most to us. This year, on behalf of NAMI FaithNet, I encourage you to consider a donation to NAMI.
NAMI FaithNet has much to celebrate and also recognizes how much more there is to do. With the guidance and efforts of the NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group and the generosity of many, we simultaneously look back at 2011 and forward to 2012, measuring our movement towards meeting the NAMI FaithNet missionto serve as an information resource initiative for NAMI members, friends, clergy and congregations of all faith traditions who wish to create faith communities who are welcoming and supportive of persons and families living with mental illness. As an initiative of NAMI, NAMI FaithNet is dedicated to providing and promoting the creation and exchange of information, tools and other resources which will help NAMI members and friends educate faith communities about mental illness and the vital role spirituality plays in recovery for many.
Here is a summary of our efforts this year:
It is the generous financial contributions from individuals and family foundations that support this activity. Without this financial support, we simply would not be able to provide these services and support these efforts. NAMI FaithNet is making a difference in the lives of many individuals affected by mental illness. As we consider our year-end gifts and the many causes that compete for our attention this season, I encourage you to consider a contribution to NAMI to allow us to continue this important work.
On behalf of the NAMI FaithNet Advisory Group, thank you and have a blessed holiday season.
NAMI FaithNet respects all faith beliefs. It also recognizes the expression by the majority of those affected by mental illness of the importance of the role of their spirituality in their ability to cope with an illness themselves or in caring for an ill friend or family member.

Los Angeles has a reputation for being a company town, a place where everything revolves around the entertainment industry. And show business is indeed a huge part of the city, and it's there for visitors to enjoy, from tours of movie studio back lots to celebrity sightings. But, L.A. has so much more to offer. Scratch beneath the celluloid surface and you'll also find rich cultural and culinary diversity, a thriving visual arts scene, and natural beauty, from beaches and mountains to great parks and un-Botoxed faces. Greater Los Angeles is more a string of vibrant, unique neighborhoods and municipalities than a cohesive city with an urban center. That said, the recent revitalization of downtown has given L.A. something it was sorely lacking: a true downtown with both rich commerce and cultural offerings, including a thriving gallery scene, and a growing resident population that inhabits shiny high-rise apartment buildings.
Moving west from downtown, Hollywood and West Hollywood are home to some of L.A.'s biggest tourist attractions -- Hollywood Boulevard, the Walk of Fame, and Grauman's Chinese Theatre -- and some of its most notable nightlife. The Sunset Strip, a famed stretch of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, is a lively, sometimes seedy, neon-lit stretch of bars, nightclubs, and trendy hotels. Further west, the wealthy enclave of Beverly Hills has pristine streets lined with the huge homes of the rich and the designer shops where they spend their money. On the coast, Santa Monica and the surrounding beach towns have the appeal of the surf and sand, cleaner air, and a more laidback vibe, but there's still plenty to do: get a tan, catch a wave, grab fish tacos or a gourmet meal, shop on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade, or just people-watch on Venice's Ocean Front Walk, a public runway for street performers, bodybuilders, skateboarders, and assorted burnouts.
Los Angeles' sprawling, diverse geography makes for uniquely distinct neighborhoods, and it's easy to find hotels that truly reflect their surroundings. Most areas offer hotels across a fairly wide range of prices, so visitors should choose where to stay based on what they want do on their visit, lest they're forced to spend hours in traffic commuting to and from their hotel.
Downtown primarily attracts business travelers with a number of midlevel and upscale chain hotels; but it's also home to some funky, historic properties that will appeal to those looking to explore the area's recent and ongoing revitalization and the art galleries, restaurants, and bars that have come along with it. Three of the city's major freeways also run through downtown, as does the Metro system, making it ideal for travel, but the streets can feel empty and unsafe at night.
Hollywood and West Hollywood are great for both families and party people. Many of the city's best known nightclubs, bars, and music venues are in the area, some within the trendy hotels, like the Hollywood Roosevelt, themselves. For families, proximity to major attractions like the Walk of Fame and Universal Studios Theme Park, coupled with some affordable, unpretentious hotels, like the Magic Castle, make Hollywood a great base camp.
Not surprisingly, true luxury can be had in Beverly Hills at large, iconic, amenity-filled properties like the Beverly Hills Hotel and Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire. There are also small, affordable boutique properties, like the Luxe Rodeo Drive, for those who want to spend less on their hotel and more on haute couture. Standard rooms tend to be tiny though, and amenities are slim to none. There's more luxury to be had in Santa Monica at beachfront hotels like Shutters and Casa Del Mar. The coastal towns are also great for families with their mellow, beachy vibe and attractions like the Santa Monica Pier, but proximity to the sand makes for higher prices and a long drive to Hollywood tourist attractions.

Designer Harry Allen loves trucks. His immaculately restored 1964 Willys Jeep has been featured in the New York Times, but it was his fond memories of playing in the dirt that led him to the idea of Pickup. The beauty of any pickup truck is its utilitarian aesthetic—four strong wheels and the capacity to haul cargo. Harry had function on his mind as he cast a toy truck and turned it into a catchall bowl.
Designer Harry Allen strives to make your life thoughtful and beautiful with expertise in industrial design, interior design graphics and identity development.

Comments On Feb 27, 2015:Intrcutions BLOW google it !! Got it all installed then had to send it back do to it not clicking into place in terms of the 7 settings prior to even having any ride time. I could however feel a difference from one extreme to another but hopefully the new one functions correctly and I will update when it gets some ride time. On a side note rocky mountain atv customer service was Great as always just waiting on the item to come back in stock.

Comments On Jan 04, 2015:It works great. Much less fatigue on long, rough trail rides. The instructions are lacking but that's not Rockymtns's fault.

Comments On Jun 18, 2014:This helped out my quad as I didn't enjoy riding it as much as I would like as my arms were always tired. After installing the stabilizer it was alot nicer to ride and most of the arm pump I got was gone so I love this product!!!

Comments On Apr 22, 2014:Not a bolt on a go product. Had to make some modifications so the steering would not bottom against the stabilizer. Had to drill a new hole in the clamp for the steering shaft to change the 'swing'. Make sure your steering is hitting the stops or the stabilizer will take damage. It dampens good and prevents the handle bars from jerking out of your hands when hitting rocks and roots.

Comments On Apr 10, 2014:nice product, the only problem I have is the one I received was missing one bolt. it was one of the bolts that goes to the clamp for the stem. one bolt... I had to call streamline to get it and it took almost three weeks to get them to send me one darn bolt. nice product but really poor customer service and quality control.

1000101011101010101. That's the opening pixel of Conan the Barbarian as it will appear to future audiences. Good ol'-fashioned film is dying, fast, as cheaper, digital projectors now control almost every screen in town. If you want to see a roidy Arnold Schwarzenegger tussle with a pathetically low-tech animatronic vulture screened on celluloid in Portland, the 2012 Beer and Movie fest is probably your last chance.
Whether this is a good or bad thing depends on how much you enjoy seeing the future Governator grunt simple English phrases while wearing a fur codpiece. Aaron Mesh, WW's esteemed movie editor, enjoys it very much, which is presumably why Conan is in BAM. As Mr. Mesh planned the event with film curator Jacques Boyreau and has a fiduciary interest in its success, he agreed to stand aside as other WW writers take their best shots at this year's lineup.
Thankfully, the task proved fairly easy.
2001: A Space OdysseyA summary: Some monkeys figure out how to kill each other with the leftover parts of other monkeys, and then a computer kills some people, and then an astronaut kills a computer and becomes a space baby. Also there's a rectangle. It hovers. And it's made of LSD. So much for plot, people. In essence, 2001 is Kubrick's sci-fi vision of the badly curdled romance between an autistic man and a gay computer—Lars and the Real Boy meets Battlestar Galactica—told in the reverent tones and incomprehensible language of a Catholic high Mass, complete with a glowing infant Jesus conceived from the corpse of a de-sexed old man. You can watch it if you want, and feel less than you ever did, and somehow be proud of yourself for that. Have fun. MATTHEW KORFHAGE. 6:30 pm Friday-Thursday, Feb. 3-9.
Conan the BarbarianIt's tempting to argue that this turgid 1982 Schwarzenegger vehicle—penned, believe it or not, by the guy who wrote Apocalypse Now—deserves a post-9/11 reassessment. There's a lot to read into the tale of an unbelievably muscular white guy who speaks mostly in grunts and travels through central Asia in pursuit of a murderous religious fanatic. But not even a forced Taliban metaphor can save the film from its own awful dullness. The art direction's nifty, James Earl Jones is James Early Jonesy, and there's a big-ass snake, and those are the only moments of interest amid two hours of flexing and glaring. Those aren't lamentations of women you hear, Conan—they're snoring. BEN WATERHOUSE. 9:40 pm Friday-Thursday, Feb. 3-9.
The UntouchablesThat The Untouchables is frequently mentioned in the same breath as Coppola and Scorsese is a travesty. Sure, the scene where De Niro's Al Capone plays T-ball with a dude's head is giddily unhinged, but this is otherwise a film devoid of originality. Celebrated hack director Brian De Palma—whose career-spanning confusion of "homage" with "rip-off" is represented here by an exceedingly goofy Battleship Potemkin shootout in a train station—is completely tone-deaf, drifting between the comic-booky do-goodery of Kevin Costner's Eliot Ness, Sean Connery sleepwalking through speakeasies, and mismatched action sequences. Never mind The Godfather. The 1991 Christian Slater-Richard Grieco opus Mobsters is The Untouchables' closest relative. AP KRYZA. 4:45 pm Friday-Thursday, Feb. 3-9.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of KhanWait, when did Kirk and McCoy start fucking? The man-love has always been between Kirk and Spock. But the doctor? Eww. Bones is (metaphorically, of course) up in Kirk's ass throughout this movie, throwing a little bitch fit about everything Jim does. I guess there needed to be some drama, seeing as there ain't much in the plot. Khan is all pissy—er, "wrathful"—hunting down Kirk with some weak excuse about Kirk killing his wife. Grow up, ladies, and stop fighting over a big, shiny phallus. It's unbecoming, like Kirk's O-face when he screams, "Khaaaaan!" Is that the face Kirk makes when he gets ear-fucked with that brain-control worm thing? Stick that in Kirstie Alley's head instead and control her off the ship and back to Cheers. PATRICIA SAUTHOFF. 7:15 pm Friday-Thursday, Feb. 3-9.
Boogie NightsThere's nothing wrong with Boogie Nights in and of itself. Except it's the movie that tricked Hollywood into thinking Mark Wahlberg is a legitimate actor. If Paul Thomas Anderson hadn't cast him to play Dirk Diggler, Marky Mark's single memorable cinematic moment would've been fingering Reese Witherspoon on a roller coaster, and that would've spared us an entire decade-plus of his permanently furrowed brow ruining everything from The Fighter to the Planet of the Apes franchise. That makes PTA the Baby Hitler of film: Set a time machine to 1970 and I'll smother him in his sleep. C'mon, you'd sacrifice There Will Be Blood to stop Entourage from existing, right? MATTHEW SINGER. 9:25 pm Friday-Thursday, Feb. 3-9.
Raiders of the Lost ArkKingdom of the Crystal Skull was supposed to have tarnished the legacy of a great franchise, but Indiana Jones was awful from the start. A startlingly dull bit of nostalgia for the bygone dreck that Steven Spielberg rubbed himself up against as a lad, Raiders of the Lost Ark has ossified into a totem worshipped by man-babies who can't say goodbye to childhood; revered by dunderheads who mistake Harrison Ford's smug mug's war against charisma for something resembling magnetism; and overrated by pretty much the entire world. Watch it with adult eyeballs—you'll see what I mean. CHRIS STAMM. 1:30 and 4 pm Friday-Sunday, Feb. 3-5. 4 pm Monday-Thursday, Feb. 6-9.

Madison Square Garden
Travel Guide To New York City
This handy guide to New York City can help you plan out your trip and serve as a reference to the city's top attractions along with food and lodging recommendations.
Madison Square Garden Still The Mecca For Young Ballers

Legendary Concert Venues In America
Five of the most legendary concert venues in America are the Apollo Theater, the Fillmore, the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden and Ryman Auditorium.
Best Rock 'N Roll Cities In America
This list includes five of the best rock 'n roll cities in America, with honorable mentions to the cities of Austin, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Seattle.
Five Historic Stadiums You Must See
While it may not be realistic to visit every single stadium in the country, one solution is to select a few stadiums whose legacies are forever etched in time and featured some of the biggest cultural icons in the history of American sports.
Stage Set For Final Big East Tournament As We Know It
The Big East tournament will have a touch of a wake to it this week. When games end, there will be plenty of reminiscing about rivalries and talk of what is to come.

- JA: Here's the thing, as far as I go. I don't get this bit about "constables" and probably never wiil. I think that you'll probably be sorry someday that you ever went down that road -- again. I think that I can begin to see the wisdom of forking the whole compendious-quality content at once. If you ever get around to actually working on articles, then that is something I can understand, and if I am lucky enough to be "chosen" to work on some of the articles that I created or made major contributions to on Wikipedia then I will help you work on those.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig 4K Ultra HD TV — LG redefines high definition A built-in multi-speaker sound bar enhances the super-detailed picture with rich sound. LG's 55LA9700 Ultra High Definition TV narrows the gap between watching a movie in a theater and viewing at home. Today's state-of-the-art cinemas use "4K" projectors to wow audiences with incredible picture detail and depth. LG's 4K TVs provide that same you-are-there realism, from the comfort of your couch. With four times the detail of current 1080p HDTVs, 4K Ultra HD TVs have over 8 million pixels. Even standing right next to the screen it's nearly impossible to discern individual pixels. And there's more to this TV than its exceptional detail. LG also used its most advanced technologies for the LCD panel and the all-important LED backlight. The 55LA9700 is packed with other great innovations, as well, from a built-in retractable sound bar to an impressive batch of Smart TV apps. The recipe for producing the best TV picture Even in the small and elite club of 4K TVs, LG's models stand out for their excellent off-axis picture quality. That's often a weakness for LCD TVs, but LG addresses it with their IPS panel technology. When we've checked out other top LG TVs we've always been impressed at how the picture contrast and color remain crisp even as we've moved around to the sides of the screen. It makes a big difference when you're watching with a group of friends or family. The 55LA9700 also uses LG's most advanced LED backlight technology, called NANO Full LED. It is what's known as a "full array" backlight, which is expensive to build and increasingly rare. Most LED-LCD TVs have the LEDs spaced around the edge of the screen, but the NANO Full LED system uses a grid of LEDs behind the screen for precise, uniform illumination. These LEDs are grouped into over a hundred zones which can independently dim or brighten. LG's Micro Pixel Control analyzes the video content scene by scene, then dims and/or brightens specific sections of the screen, producing strikingly realistic picture contrast with deep black levels and natural colors. This precisely controlled "local dimming" allows the 55LA9700 to simultaneously display everything from the infinite black of a deep-space star field to the brilliant white of an Arctic snowfield — even in the same scene. The retractable sound bar lowers into place when you're watching, then slides up and out of sight when not in use. A built-in sound bar provides a sonic and visual surprise LG's unique sliding sound bar delivers sound quality that complements the 55LA9700's superb 4K picture. With four speakers and a woofer, backed by 50 watts of power, this sound bar is a big improvement over typical TV speakers. And when you aren't watching TV, the sound bar automatically recedes, preserving this model's elegantly minimalist look. Up-to-the-minute Smart TV features The 55LA9700 is one of LG's web-savviest TVs. Built-in apps give you instant access to a nearly limitless selection of entertainment — streamed video from services like Netflix®, Vudu®, and Hulu Plus™, music from Pandora® and Rhapsody®, social networking, and lots more. LG's simple-to-use interface also includes a browser so you can jump on the web during commercials. A dual-core processor really speeds up web browsing and app multitasking. LG's user-friendly TV/web interface makes navigation a piece of cake. LG's latest Magic Remote is no ordinary "clicker" LG's latest motion-sensing Magic Remote uses gesture controls to let you easily search and select web entertainment just by pointing and clicking. It's very similar to using a wireless videogame controller or an air mouse. Other nice touches include a scroll wheel and a built-in microphone for voice commands. There's also a pop-up camera on the top of the TV that makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family through Skype®.

An outstanding picture with GREAT black and contrast giving great depth to picture. Nano led technology really outpreforms led edge lighting so that both bright and dark areas of a scene have more detail and are more visible. Standard 1080 p signals give outstanding quality and the picture is very realistic in image and color. TV is easy to set up and use. Pros: Picture, ease of use Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No If You Can't Say Something Nice Written By Bonnie, Hernando on Sunday, October 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first 4K, tv, and to be totally truthful, the picture is just good, really wish I could say it is great cause when you see it in the store it's amazing. From what we've been told by our cable provider it's partly due to the broadcast signal, and that isn't going to change any time soon.(and lack of a manual...which, Crutchfield is copying, and sending to us) But what I want to tell you about is how great Crutchfield is, my customer service rep was phenomenal, helpful, professional, and truly caring and responsive. The tv arrived ahead of the promised shipping date, which rarely happens, because we're in a remote location. We are devoted life long customers of Crutchfield forever! Pros: Crutchfield is the only store to buy, anything they sell Cons: The picture is only ok, when scenes are dark, people, figures, are very hard to see, not nearly as sharp or bright and colorful as in 4K, in the store 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Watch everything bigger, richer, and in more detail than ever in stunning 4K; the next generation of TV resolution. Note: No ultra high-definition 4K video content is currently available. No broadcast or other standard currently exists for ultra high-definition 4K television. The LG LA9700 series TV may not be compatible with such standards if and when developed. Nano Full LED w/ Micro Pixel Control: Nano Full LED is the most advanced LED technology available from LG. LG's Micro Pixel Control incorporates up to 144 blocks of LEDs throughout the back panel of that TV that can individually brighten and dim each segment of the screen. This results in the deepest, darkest, and most natural colors for superior picture performance. Tru-Ultra HD Engine: Picture quality is upscaled through a 4-step process that enhances the detail of your show, movie, game, or sport; so that you can enjoy the benefit of 4K resolution from any source. With the additional step of analyzing data compared to other manufacturers 3-step process, you will truly experience the picture you expect from an Ultra HD 4K TV. 178° Viewing Angle: LG's state-of-the-art screen panel provides a 178° wide viewing angle that makes every location the best seat in the house. Family and friends will enjoy vibrant color and virtually blur-free pictures clear across the room. Video Inputs: The LG ultra high-definition LED-LCD TV features HDMI (v.1.4), Component, and Composite video inputs. HDMI (v.1.4): The three HDMI inputs will accept 4K, 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. The HDMI inputs not only allow you to connect your Blu-ray/DVD player or Satellite/Cable receiver to the TV, but also a laptop or computer. The HDMI jacks also support Deep Color, x.v.Color, and 3D content. The HDMI 1 input is ARC compatible and the HDMI 3 input is MHL compatible. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video signals. Component Video: The Component Video input will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The component video inputs consist of a 3.5mm jack and a 6" mini-to-component video adapter. This same component video output shares the audio signal with the composite audio/video terminal. Composite: The composite video input will accept 480i only. The composite audio/video terminal consists of an AV 3.5mm connector and a 6" mini-to-composite video/stereo RCA adapter. Note: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. HDMI (MHL) Port: The HDMI 3 port is designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) standard. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the TV's HDMI 3 (MHL) port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the LG TV from your mobile smartphone. The TV's IR remote can be used to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause, Stop Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation). Your MHL compliant device will also charge while connected to the TV's HDMI 3 port. To find MHL-certified devices, go to www.mhlconsortium.org TrueMotion 240Hz: TrueMotion 240Hz provides clear, smoother images, even during fast action scenes crating a more crisper picture. TrueMotion 240Hz technology lets you see sports, video games, and high-speed action with virtually no motion blur; letting the Ultra-HD LED-LCD TV keep up with your fast- moving entertainment. TrueMotion 240Hz has four settings; Smooth, Clear, Clear Plus, and User. The User mode lets you manually adjust the TV's judder and blur. 24p Real Cinema: Makes video clips recorded in a film look more natural by eliminating judder effect. DVD and Blu-ray movies are filmed at 24 frames per second (fps). With 24p Real Cinema, every frame is consistently processed 5 times in 1/24 of a second producing 120 fps with TrueMotion or 2 times in 1/24 of a second producing 48 fps without TrueMotion, thus totally eliminating the judder effect. Ultra Cinema Cinema 3D: With Ultra HD Cinema 3D you get 4x the resolution of Full HD 1080p while watching 3D. Ultra HD Cinema 3D offers amazing 3D depth with a brighter picture and better motion quality, plus flicker-free glasses, just like the movie theater. You get the same technology that powers the 3D films in the movie theater, right in your own home. LG Cinema 3D gives you wider viewing angles, meaning you get the same immersive 3D experience wherever you sit. The LED-LCD flat-panel TV's 3D picture begins with LG's proprietary Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) panel, which optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eyes. This polarized film is applied directly to the TV's screen enabling delivery of optimized images for both eyes. The images are then filtered through specially designed glasses to give you truly crisp, blur-free, flicker-free 3D images that leap of the screen. Included 3D Glasses: The included 3D glasses (4 pair included) are just like the ones you get at the movie theater, so they are very lightweight and comfortable to wear. The 3D image formatting is done solely on the TV set, so the 3D glasses are passive (no batteries required) and don't need to be synced, enabling you to enjoy 3D images anywhere in your room and free from the interference of other objects. The passive 3D glasses design also lets you enjoy 3D images from any viewing angle; whether you are sitting on the couch or laying on floor. 2D-to-3D with Depth Control: 2D (two-dimensional) images can be transformed to 3D (three-dimensional) images. If you are watching a 2D program, the television can transform those two-dimensional images to virtual 3D images (you must be wearing included 3D glasses). Two-Player Gaming: Gamers can enjoy two-player 2D gaming on this one TV without the need for a split screen. Now, you and a friend can compete against one another independently and catch the action on a full screen. This feature requires special glasses (AG-F310DP, sold separately by LG). Note: This LG TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a 3D compatible device; such as a 3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content. The TV must be connected to your 3D source via HDMI (v.1.4) and you must wear the included passive 3D glasses in order to see these images in 3D (three-dimensional) format. Picture Size (Aspect Ratio): You can select a different aspect ratio depending on input source (analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting, video input). 16:9: Resizes the image ratio to fit 16:9 screen. Just Scan: Displays high-quality image without loss. Only available in DTV, HDMI, or Component (over 720p) mode). Set by Program: Depending on the input signal, screen aspect ratio changes to 4:3 or 16:9. 4:3: Resizes the image ratio to fit 4:3 screen. Zoom: Resizes the image to fit the screen width. The top and bottom parts of the image may be cut off. Cinema Zoom: Formats an image to the cinemascope ratio (2.35:1) and zooms in on the ratio. Picture Wizard II (Picture Control): This feature lets you adjust the picture quality of the original image. The LG LA9700 series TV's Picture Wizard II (Easy Picture Calibration) offers self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. This feature takes the guesswork out of picture adjustments. Picture Modes: The LG Ultra-HD LED-LCD TV provides preset, manual, and expert adjustment of the television's picture settings. Presets: Easy to use factory presets for picture mode settings include Standard (provides optimum viewing for general use), Vivid (maximizes the effect of the video by strengthening the contrast/brightness/color/sharpness), Cinema (optimizes video for watching videos), Game (provides fast response speed for fast gaming system).

Additional Picture Options: Additional picture options include: Real Cinema: Makes video clips recorded in a film look more natural by eliminating judder effect. Black Level: Sets the black level of the screen to the proper level. Noise Reduction: Reduces screen noise without compromising video quality. MPEG Noise Reduction: Removes noise caused by compressing video. Eye Care: Adjusts screen brightness to prevent eye fatigue. Motion Eye Care: Saves power consumption by adjusting the brightness corresponding to movement in the video. Audio Features Retractable Soundbar: The integrated soundbar speaker provides sound quality that complements the TV's impressive 4K resolution. The TV's soundbar speaker features four full-range drivers powered by a 10W x 4ch amplifier. There is also a rear-firing bass driver on the back of the TV that is powered by a 10W x 1ch amp. When you aren't watching TV, the soundbar automatically retracts, allowing the television to maintain its minimalist look. You can setup the the soundbar speaker to open and retract when the TV is turned on/off, or you can set the soundbar to always be visible. If you are connecting an external speaker system and turn the TV's speakers off, the soundbar speaker will stay hidden away. When the speaker is retracted, the panel height of the TV is only 28.0625". Sound Optimizer: This function optimizes the sound based on the environment in which the TV is installed (Normal, Wall-Mount, Stand). Preset + 5-Band EQ: Sound Mode lets you enjoy the best sound without any special adjustment using factory presets. Standard, Music, Cinema, Sport, and Game are preset for optimum sound quality.

Auto Volume: Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a regular TV program. Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, volume adjustment may be needed every time the channel is changed. This feature allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic adjustments for each program. AV Sync: If the video and sound of the television are not synced, you can adjust the delay of the audio output to match the video. Audio Outputs: The LG LED-LCD TV offers an optical digital output and 3.5mm headphone jack. Digital Audio Output: The optical (toslink) digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM.

The TV's analog audio output terminal will output 2ch audio from any of the television's source inputs. ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB port can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly.

Orbital cellulitis is a serious infection of the bony cavity in which the eyeball sits. This cavity is called the orbit. It is surrounded by sinuses. The sinuses are the hollow areas of the skull around the nose.
Orbital cellulitis affects not only the eye, but also the eyelids, eyebrows, and cheeks. It causes the eyeball to have a swollen appearance. If the infection is not treated, it can lead to blindness.
The cavity below the eye is a sinus, the most common place for the infection to start.

Nope! In fact when readers click on the link it'll be even higher.
I'm very very happy to see how successful so many creative individuals and groups are becoming through crowdfunding.
It's inspiring and energizing and has given me great hope and renewed faith and enthusiasm in what our community can do through independent means.
Remember my concept of The Independent Economy years ago on AN?
This it it folks! It's here!

Here are some of his comments ...........
I want to say a few words about this Kickstarter Campaign, it has overwhelmed me, surpassed my wildest dreams and left me very humbled.
When I crunched the numbers, for me to publish a big book on my own dime, I simply couldn't afford it. I had certain publishers approach me to do a big book during the past few years....they would publish it, and of course, make all the money. But I wanted to do it my way. I never had a real agent during my career, I never particularly cared for someone telling me what to do (art directors were enough), so I have done it all my way the best I could.
I was worried about this Kickstarter project, I didn't want to be the first guy to loose money on Kickstarter . I was hesitant on the whole deal. I knew I had fans out there, because I have attend a lot of conventions over the past 25 years, but I didn't really know just how many and I didn't know just how strong and true they were. It really takes your most dedicated "hardcore" fans to pull off a project like this. I didn't know if there were that many---"left". Even though I still paint every day if possible and I will paint and draw until I die.
I basically got out of the publishing world a few years ago and lately I have been painting my own work and selling the originals. I love it. But I know that many fans have missed my work being published on books and game covers. I guess some of you thought I had "retired"!!! Well, I haven't! I never will. I worked as an illustrator for over 40 years, now I am ready to do my own work.
This is how crowdfunding is positively affecting the lives of many artists like Larry Elmore.
Now he can cash in on HIS EQUITY.
Man, I'm so happy and stoked about this! It's great to see artists succeeding at this level!
This has been a special year. Especially over the past few months since August when I realized the extent of what was happening with crowdfunding. And it's only increased since then!
If this is any indication of what the community can look forward to in the future I welcome it with open arms!
A very well deserved congratulations to Larry Elmore!
Thanks also for setting yet another successful and inspiring crowdfunding model!
Happy New Year!

2 lb bronze hammer knows when to give in
Take this 2-lb. bronze head hammer in your hand and you may feel like bashing the bejeezus out of something. But its heft and driving force have a more noble purpose. Bronze is "softer," more malleable than steel, which means it yields on contact with harder metals and won't mar work surfaces. Great for flawless machining and auto body, even fine craftsmanship. 14-1/2" long Tennessee hickory handle, tapered for balance and shock-absorption. Made in USA by ABC Hammers, the leading family-owned manufacturer of non-marring hammers for over 50 years.

Comments about 2lb Bronze Deadblow Hammer:
Used it to tap in a shim and felt it was part of my arm. Perfect weight and the bronze head is very well made.

100% Greek Silk Shawl / Scarf Style YS374 This beautiful silk textile was handmade in Soufli, Greece with 100% silk. Featuring delicate silk embroidery on the two shorter sides, it can be worn as a scarf or a shawl, or can be used as a table runner (cover) to decorate your home. Please see more pictures for sample uses and care instructions.
Approx. 57in long x 23in wide. Measurement does not include embroidery trim.A primer on Greek Silk Handmade embroideries from Soufli
Needlework from Soufli was widely used in the decoration of the Hellenic home. The embroidered item is usually tucked in the middle and placed under a chocolate bowl, a vase of flowers or a picture frame as a table centerpiece, draped over a sofa or even framed and wall-mounted, to decorate dishes and mirrors. In addition to decorating homes, Soufli neddlework is also used to express happiness, presented from a bride's family to the groom's family as a gift for engagements or weddings, symbolizing devotion and thus becoming a valueable heirloom.
Silk is one of the most valuable fibres of animal origin, coming from the silkworm when brewing the coccoon, to pass a certain stage in its transformation. The silkworm creates it from its glands secretion, that when coming to contact with air, solidifies and takes the form of continuous, fine fibre.

Ward Drive Urban Improvement Project
Common Questions:
Q: I am having trouble finding gaps in traffic to make a left-turn from Ward Drive south onto Lancaster Drive. Could a green arrow be added to the signal for left-turning vehicles?
A: No. This type of signal phase is called a "protected left-turn phase". Public Works has studied current and projected traffic volumes and they are not high enough to justify adding the protected phase. However, the project does include the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane that will make it easier for westbound left-turning motorists to find gaps in traffic.
Q: Could a pedestrian crosswalk and flashers be installed mid way between Fisher Road and Lancaster Drive?
A: In response to this question, Public Works conducted pedestrian counts and completed an evaluation to see if such a crossing is warranted. The results of the study indicate that a crosswalk is not currently warranted in this section of Ward Drive. In addition, the construction of continuous sidewalks on both sides of the road will cause the current crossing patterns to change. Once the project is complete, Public Works will re-evaluate the need for a crosswalk.
Q: Vehicles seem to speed coming off of Highway 99E and through the "S" curve. Is there some way the project improvements could slow them down?
A: Two elements of the project should help to keep motorists at the 35 mph posted speed. The first of these is the narrowing of the travel lanes. Narrower lanes are a common method used in reducing speed. Narrower lanes will not be used in the curves, however, since large trucks do not fit within the lanes, causing premature wear to the painted lane lines and creating a long-term maintenance expense. The second element is the addition of the new traffic signal at Fisher Road. .
Q: Is it possible to open the west end of Ibis Street to connect to Ward Drive?
A: No. A new intersection on Ward Drive at the west end of Ibis Street/Court would be too close to Highway 99E, creating a possible accident problem and would impede traffic flow at this location.
Q: When will the project be constructed?
A: Construction should begin spring of 2013 and be completed by September 30, 2013.
Q: Will there be bus shelters constructed with the project?
A: No. Cherriots recently changed their routes and there no longer are any Cherriots busses on Ward Drive or Fisher Road north of Cooley Drive.
Q: Are school bus stops being considered in the project design?
A: Yes. Public Works is working with Salem Public Schools to determine the best location and configuration for their bus stops.
Q: Could a street light be added at the southeast corner of Fisher Road and Ward Drive to make pedestrians more visible? Could it be installed before the project is constructed?
A: Street lights will be added to this intersection as part of the signal improvements. Public Works has studied the intersection and it does not warrant installing street lights before the project begins. Additionally, installing street lights now would be an expense that is not recoverable with the project.
Q: Will the newer sidewalk on the south side (3700 to 3900 block) be incorporated into the project?
A: Unfortunately, no. The required number of traffic lanes will not fit between the existing walk and the houses on the north side, which will require removal of the existing walk and reconstructing it several feet to the south.
Q: Will the road be resurfaced or just widened?
A: Public Works is determining whether resurfacing the entire project is warranted at this time. The existing three lane section from Highway 99E to Ward Court will be resurfaced as part of the project.
Q: Will the road need to be closed during construction?
A: No. Road improvements will be constructed under traffic and access maintained to adjacent properties, except temporarily for short periods when widening, doing concrete work, or resurfacing the road. Q: How will the project address environmental concerns?
A: The project includes the following features designed to benefit the environment:
Q: How will driveways be dealt with?
A: Driveways will be reconstructed, generally of the same material as currently exists, as far back as necessary to provide a good driveable transition.Q: How will private property drainage be handled?
A: Existing drains to the road will be extended through the new curb or connected to the storm drain system. Area drains will be provided in yards as necessary to maintain existing drainage.
