Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said, Monday morning, THAT talk of Jordan as a Palestinian state go against Israel's interests and reality.

Call up Troy Smith! :eyes:

Call up Troy Smith! :eyes:
So far Painter looks better to me; can't believe how bad Tyrod looks. But a veteran would be a better option, just who?
Dennis Dixon is still unsigned
Curtis Painter is better suited to our offensive scheme then Tyrod is . If Joe
went down with an injury I would feel more comfortable with Curtis running the offense then Tyrod .
Thus, I hope Painter wins the backup
QB role .
Listed above: McNabb, Josh Johnson, Tarvaris Jackson, Matt Moore, Kevin Kolb, Vince Young/Tyler Thigpen - any one of these guys stands head & shoulders over Painter and (literally) over Taylor. The season won't be "toast", but Oz may need to scratch up an extra $1/2 million to $1 million to get there.
Matt Moore could easily lead this team to the play offs. He did pretty damn well on a average Miami Dolphins team last season, he almost saved the season for them. If Matt Moore is cut, I would love to see Moore back Flacco up this year.
This is why I agree with what the Redskins did in the draft, they got a talented QB in the 4th round, who IMO can eventually be a good starter for a team. He gives the Redskins a lot of insurance if RG3 were to go down, which lets face it, could well happen at any given time because of the type of QB RG3 is. I think next year a back up QB may need to be addressed in the 4th or 5th round, we need a guy like TJ Yates who can step in if Flacco were to go down.
This offense works with a guy who plays like Joe - tall, big arm, who stands in the pocket.
Taylor is not that guy - not that kind of quarterback.
Painter is more like Flacco - and because of that he will make the team. We have yet to see Painter "run" with the first team offense. So far, with the 2nd and 3rd string guys he's put up 24 points on the board (if you count both games) in less than 60 minutes of football. At least with Painter the Ravens have a chance if Joe goes down. If its Tyrod their chances approach ZERO quickly.
TT is not an NFL QB. He missed several throws last night and had several passes batted down. He has to lob the ball to the running backs out the back field which will get a running back killed. He seems to want to run the ball more than he wants to throw it. Wonder what is rushing yards are vs his passing yards
Sent from my BlackBerry 9810 using Tapatalk
Buffalo reporting that Vince Young is winning the backup spot there which would make Tyler Thygpen odd man out. He would be an upgrade over TTaylor or Painter

New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman comments on the new taxi chosen by New York's Taxi and Limousine Commission.
After a three year search, the Commission chose a Nissan model that is not wheelchair accessible.
The United States attorney's office in Manhattan and Perecman, a New York civil rights violation lawyer for over 30 years, are investigating whether the lack of wheelchair-accessible taxicabs in New York City violates sections of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
The Disabilities Act prohibits local governments, or private groups that provide public transportation services, from discriminating against the disabled.
"This is a disappointing turn of events in New York," civil rights violation lawyer Perecman said. The city had the unique opportunity to set a standard for accessibility for taxis across the country. So, instead of helping New York become the first city in the world to have a fully accessible taxi fleet, the Taxi and Limousine Commission may find itself fighting a civil suit for having violated civil rights."

Job Description for Director, Operations and Administration
Directors of operations and administration are generally high-level employees in an organization, usually answering to only one or two supervisory levels above them. Of course, this varies by industry; for example, directors of operations and administration in nursing homes often report directly to the facility administrator and work in tandem with other director-level employees.Read More...
Fiduciary responsibility is a large part of the job of a director of operations and administration, and overseeing directors of finance, human resources, and administrative staff also generally falls under their purview. Their work is largely mental (as opposed to physical), and it often requires finesse, both in handling the many personalities with whom they interact, as well as the difficult budget-balancing tasks required.
While most directors of operations and administration work regular business hours in an office setting, the physical working environment also depends on the industry. If they work for a manufacturing company, for instance, then they may occasionally be found on the manufacturing floor or move between buildings to execute their supervisory roles.
Most employers hiring directors of operations and administration are looking for substantial prior experience, preferably in a related field. A bachelor's degrees in financial management, business management, or a related field is required. While there aren't any certifications specific to the position of director of operations and administration, certain employers (such as nursing homes or aviation facilities) may have specific certification requirements.
Director, Operations and Administration Tasks
- Manage budget, staff, calendar and facilities to support organizational finance and operation goals.
- Create and enforce rules and procedures for auditing, procurement, financial reporting and legal compliance.
- Coordinate and review financial information to prioritize and direct staffing, resource allocation and objectives.
- Initiate and direct changes to increase efficiency and meet objectives.

Think: Straight Talk for Women to Stay Smart in a Dumbed-Down Worldby Lisa Bloom
According to Lisa Bloom, the women and girls of today represent a stark paradox. While American women excel in education at every level, they likewise obsessively focus on celebrity media. While women outperform their male counterparts in employment in urban areas for the first time in history, they simultaneously spend countless hours staring in the mirror
According to Lisa Bloom, the women and girls of today represent a stark paradox. While American women excel in education at every level, they likewise obsessively focus on celebrity media. While women outperform their male counterparts in employment in urban areas for the first time in history, they simultaneously spend countless hours staring in the mirror contemplating plastic surgery. Lisa Bloom fears that women are in danger of spiraling into a nation of dumbed down, tabloid media obsessed, reality TV addicts. Too often, they outsource matters to "experts" and in doing so neglect to truly think for themselves.
The solution:
Lisa Bloom has the solution and it involves one simple word: Think.
In this provocative, entertaining, educational, and thoroughly researched book, Lisa outlines the ways that we as a society, and particularly women, have fallen off the intellectual path, and, very specifically, points to how damaging this has been to us on many levels. Lisa shows us the falloutbut she also provides the solutions for "Reclaiming the Brain God Gave You" and seizing back control of your mind and your life. Think is delivered in a no-nonsense manner that will make you laugh, make you question yourself, make you squirm, but, most important, make you start thinking again.
Editorial Reviews
TV host, commentator and lawyer Bloom felt compelled to write her debut after becoming disgruntled with society's intellectual decline.
Appalled by the fact that 23 percent of American women would rather lose their ability to read than their figures, the author writes with frantic urgency about the ignorance that is infecting the country and how this epidemic affects American women. A journalist whose career highlights include covering the Saddam Hussein trail, Bloom is dismayed that women are most interested in celebrity scandals, which make up more than 95 percent of the cases she is currently assigned to cover. The author urges women to reassess their priorities, put down the tabloid magazines and become more aware of world issues, many of which she indulges in detailing. Acknowledging that she would be taking cheap shots if she didn't offer solutions, the second half ofthebooksuggests ways women can make a positive impact in their communities—e.g., volunteering and donating to worthy causes. The author also includes a list recommended reading and recipes that save time in the kitchen. While clearly written out of genuine concern, readers who are sensitive to criticism of American culture may take offense to the use of terms such as "Dumb American Syndrome."
A wake-up call for women who have succumbed to a culture of mediocrity.

So, this book has been in my wife's hands every night for the past week. It has trumped our usual nightly shows. She left it sit'n on the nightstand yesterday morning, I happen to have the day off. I picked it up, read the back cover, cracked it open for a glance....and...didn't put it down till last night! I literally could not set it down! GREAT BOOK! So well written, easy to read, smart, funny, and lives up to the title. I think I have a new secret set of tools that are gonna come in handy while raising our daughter. Now I just need to tell my wife I finished her book before she did...Ha!
Lisa Bloom is one to emulate. She is witty, funny and knows how to inspire. I love books that inspire me to search out the true joy in life and serve as a reminder to me to USE my own, individual power, desires and ideas to keep me peeked at all times. There is so much more to life than worrying how you "look" to other people, when they most likely don't really care how you look. What a relief just to rid ourselves of that minor detail so we can spend our time thinking about important matters. This is a great message to pass on to those you care about.Truly a wonderful gift idea!
This book is not only empowering but entertaining as well. I never realized how stagnant my mind has become until I got slapped upside the head by Lisa Blooms' thought-provoking words. Thanks for the wake-up call Lisa!
Lisa Bloom has accomplished what so many authors before her have failed to do - write a provocative, intelligent book that ANYONE can read. I feel like so many books these days are written by people who just reworded their book from a thesaurus...but Think reminds us all of the importance of not letting our minds become bogged down by culture in a creative, easy to read tone. I highly recommend this book for anyone, from people looking to reevaluate their life to people just looking to get a good book.
I LOVED this book. Lisa's writing style is captivating, clever, and easy to read. A great book for moms, daughters, or women of any age. Brilliant tips for time management, happiness, and staying smart. This book will be my new go-to gift for all my girlfriends!
As a lover of books, this was one of the best reads I've had in some time. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days. It inspired me to "do something." After reading, I reached out to several charitable organizations with which I wanted to work. I'm now so happy to be helping others in ways I couldn't imagine. I owe it all to Lisa!
This is the book for women who appreciate the Feminine Mystique but who yearn for more practical advice and less antiquated jargon. I think all young women should read as they find their own voices and individuality in this "dumbed down" world.
I can't wait for my friends to read Think so that we can talk about it -- Bloom has a way of presenting challenging and oh-so-important issues in a way that is actually fun to read! This book is especially important to me because I have daughters. When pop culture is telling them to worry about how shiny their hair is or how their butts look in their jeans, this book makes it okay -- even cool -- to think about issues like education, justice and poverty, and to question, question, question what messages they're fed by the culture at large. A clever call to engagement that should be a must-read for everyone.....
What an eye opener. Grandmother's, Mothers, buy this book for your daughters. I'll change their lives. An excellent book that will make you THINK!
I couldn't put Think down. It was one of those books that I stayed up until 3am to read as long as my eyes would stay open. I loved the combination of being intelligent, sassy, smart, funny and inspirational. I will gift this book to every girlfriend of mine. We all become stronger as individuals and in communities with raising our levels of awareness in how we can harness the power of our own minds.
This book really had an effect on me; it changed how I think, act, speak, and carry myself. It was also really fun, fast, and easy to read, which is impressive considering how interesting and informative it was, too. But none of this is a surprise coming from the incredibly smart and talented Lisa Bloom. I can't wait to read whatever she comes up with next.
As a woman, I was obviously intrigued by the concepts presented in this book. Once I began digging in, however, my mind began a journey of provocation and education, taking me to new heights of intrigue and inspiration. Lisa Bloom was born to inspire, motivate, and change minds. Her writing style makes you instantly feel like her best friend, there to support you and help you learn and grow. Everyone who wants to have their comfort zone tickled or intellect expanded should read this book. It is impossible to come away from it unchanged.
Lisa is a brilliant television host, commentator, and a talented author. This book is just like she is: interesting and smart.
You must read this book if you are a woman - or have a daughter, a mother, a sister... If you know any women, buy them this book. This WILL be the conversation once this book is release. I was fortunate enough to read a review copy and I can't stress enough how important this topic is. It took the brilliance of Lisa Bloom to get people taking about this. You need to be part of this conversation.
Lisa Bloom is something rare in this world, a straight-talking media personality whose mission is to improve the world, not "dumb it down." She uses her high-profile status and her law degree to stand up for children and families. Ms. Bloom is already a super-heroine on issues like discrimination, bullying and women's rights. I often quote her, and now I'll have her wisdom always at hand with "Think." I know this book will inspire conversations between mothers and daughters, and women everywhere.
An absolute must-read for women. Such an inspiration. So smart, so uplifting.
At first I thought that this book might be just of interest to women, but after I started reading it, I realized that she perfectly describes the increasingly celebrity obsessed and anti-intellectual strain that's causing America to fall into decline. Unlike most authors who just point out problems, she also tells how to *fix* what we're doing wrong. Five stars
I have followed Lisa Bloom for years, and expected something hard hitting and thought provoking. Well that is exactly what I got out of it. The book forces you to challenge your knowledge in a very male driven world, and at the same time will give men a very accurate glimpse into what drives women, or rather should drive women.
All women everywhere, let's follow the wisdom here and be awesome!
Okay, so 90% of the books I read are fiction/murder mysteries. But as soon as I saw Lisa Bloom on The Talk, I had to get this book. It sat in my office for 2 months until I finally picked it up, and now I can't put it down! If it's possible to feel smarter by just reading a book, then this is THE BOOK. A lot of what Lisa Bloom writes about are things I've been thinking about for years, but haven't had anyone to talk to about. Reading this book is like having a friend who really knows you and shares the same thoughts and feelings as you. Lisa bloom skillfully juxtaposes the topics the media deems important (e.g., Angelina Jolie's beauty and sexiness) v. the real things you find out if you just THINK (Angelina Jolie's political activism and how she spends her spare time trying to change the world for the better). But most of all, Lisa Bloom not only challenges us to think and look beneath the glossy mindless media headlines, but relates to the reader knowing we are capable of thinking much harder then we do. Run, don't walk, to the bookstore and buy this book! It will not only make you THINK, but you'll feel smarter doing it.
Enjoyable, moving and thought provoking. Think really made me Think! I am going to use these ideas to help raise my grandaughter into a kickass type of woman. Thank you Ms. Bloom for this insightful book.
heard about this book on dr. phil after reading this book it changed my life to where i read as much as i can and becoming more politically aware of our nations economy. straight talk for women isnt just for women to read!! you go lisa
I'm reading this book now and can't wait to share it with my 2 daughters in high school. I have had so many conversations with my daughters about what girls their age are focusing on and am so thankful that they don't just follow along thinking that being an airhead is cute! Lisa Bloom is saying so many things I try to convey but can't express so well and with such great humor. Please have your daughters read the book and talk about it before girls stop being able to read at all! From a concerned but hopeful mom
Tried as sample. Best sample I have read on the nook. Def a buy.

I tried 550 paracord that I got from Michael's on my 4x24 AWG wire, it was too small. Where do you get your paracord? And please go into detail about using hot glue and heatshrink together. And how do you keep the ends of the paracord together on the wire; like so it doesn't slide up and down the wire and unravel; i used clear tape and heatshrink, but I feel I could do better.

River level topped 4 feet
The Atchafalaya River water level in Berwick Bay rose to about 4.3 feet Saturday, which was higher than expected, causing the Coast Guard to issue additional towing limits for large towing vessels traveling northbound and southbound in Berwick Bay, Coast Guard Lt. Jay Michalczak of Morgan City said.
Last week, the Coast Guard issued towing restrictions for southbound traffic in Berwick Bay after the river level rose to more than 3 feet. Because the river level rose above 3.5 feet over the weekend, restrictions to towing vessels more than 600 feet long traveling northbound were also issued, Michalczak said.
As of this morning, the river level was at 3.8 feet and should stay at that level until Friday, he said. "Our hope is that it will come down enough Friday to where we can remove those northbound limitations and just have the southbound," Michalczak said.
The impact to vessel traffic will still be minimal, only impacting towing vessels pulling barges more than 600 feet long, he said. "It's ensuring that they have controllability going through the bridges based on horsepower. If they don't have enough horsepower, we require them to have an assist vessel," Michalczak said.
Only two or three of the type of vessels the restrictions apply to come through the area each day, he said.

I like the jacket, riderhecliche.
Thanks! This is currently my best suit and doubles up for interview duty. I bought it off the rack when I was in India a few years ago and they took measurements and had it altered. I'm hoping to replace it with a nice wool suit in the same color. Right now, I end up wearing the jacket and pants separately relatively often.
I thrifted that tie about 3 hours before the event. I was elated that I finally found a solid burgundy tie. Now I have both a solid burgundy and solid navy tie. Score!
That's sort of what I've heard. I'm sure it's sort of a cultural one-upmanship thing, too, like the Ivy resort crowd wearing the same navy blazer, BD shirt, and repp tie, but with increasingly crazy pants.
Jacket fits you well, rtc, but that look would have been infinitely better without the vest. I'm not a fan of odd vests in general, but when I do like the look, it's generally a vest lighter than the jacket. A vest that dark just creates a black whole where your torso should be.
Beautiful ties paisley...compliments
I've gone back to this green tie as I wanted to apply some of the feedback I got last time I wore it. So I've paired it with a plainer shirt and also added a burgundy PS, as was suggested by...someone. Sorry can't remember! :-)
Wearing a different suit this time. Funnily enough it looks grey in some of these photos but is actually indigo.
The *only* thing is that perhaps the tie texture / pattern is too closely matched to the shirt? Should it be a plainer cotton?
Trying to be a little "sprezzatura" with the tie (imperfect dimple, inside blade left loose):
The colour here is more like the actual colour of the suit:
Obligatory "getting coffee" shot:
My first Luxire shirt. Collar is the NOBD I collar. Fits very good and it takes only 11 days from the order to the receipt.
Full shot and details (Click to show)
while you raised some standard points. the fit was put together for a reason. as you know by now, i can dress "approved" if i want to- my wardrobe is worthy.
(but i simply find the concept of "approved" to be distasteful and against this forum's original intentions, which is to celebrate style, not bland. )
i am a business man in a semi-Rural area. and my style reflects my personality and occupation.
some of your fits are great! -you also can dress well. and thanks, i love this jacket. it's rather warm. nice this time of year.
but critique is not necesary. as, if i cared, i would have just worn the same as someone else.
yeah, i know, the sleeve pitch, i need to buy a camera and tripod to learn to take Pro-selfies, so i can pose with my sleeves right.

Is AIG now a symbol of recovery rather than recklessness?
A year ago, the so-called AIG effect wasn't only about the public's outrage over spending on incentive conferences. It was a symbol of the failure of the financial industry as a whole. AIG had betrayed customers' trust, taken too much risk, and ended up saving its bacon with taxpayer money. AIG was the world's largest insurer as measured by assets back then. Now it has shrunk by about a fifth, according to a recent article at financial news Web site Bloomberg.com, which describes the ...

DescriptionAs in many stories, good triumphs over evil and gets over-confident... forgetting all about the evil. It is at that point that evil rebounds to try and seize control once again. That is exactly what happens in Kohan II. Strange creatures are moving across the land, civil war has broken the Kohan people apart, and wars are happening more and more frequently.
Offering you five factions and six races to play, this sequel in the Kohan series offers you a variety of things to do. The game offers five different environments to play in and 32 missions for single-player gaming.
Unlike many RTS games, KoW does not require you to have many worker drones to gather your resources. Simply build mines and that is it. Use your resources to build armies rather than workers.
Another feature in the game that makes it different from other RTS games on the market is that you cannot build individual units (with the exception of siege units). Instead, you build groups of units, led by either a hero or a captain. The groups can have up to 9 units in them if you have the ability to build the support units needed to reach 9.
A final unique feature is that as long as you can retreat your group back within your Zone of Control before all units in it are dead, the units will regenerate HP and resurrect fallen units. You will only have to recruit a replacement group if you let your group die off completely.

Despite filling your shopping cart with dozens of brands every week, your grocery-store experience is being controlled by an increasingly small handful of big companies. That lack of diversity, says a new report from advocacy group Food & Water Watch, is preventing competition and keeping prices higher. In "Grocery Goliaths: How Food Monopolies Impact Consumers," Food & Water Watch makes a call for more oversight of mergers between grocery store chains and between food companies. It also seeks greater regulation of food marketing. Here are some of the highlights, showing how a few companies are capitalizing on consumer habits and their ability to scoop up smaller competition. We're all shopping at the same place Americans spent approximately $603 billion on groceries in 2012. More than half of those sales filled the tills of just four retailers: Walmart (WMT), Kroger (KR), Target (TGT) and Safeway (SWY). You can't control your impulse buying Americans may be spending a lot of time and money at grocery stores, but they aren't sticking to a list when it comes to what they're shopping for. A study from Point of Purchase Advertising International found that 55% of the things consumers buy during their grocery trip are made on impulse. Food & Water Watch likens the experience of grocery shopping to that of a casino, noting the "bright lights, Muzak, colorful displays and endless ways to spend your money before you can reach the exit." Attacking your senses boosts sales The Food & Water Watch report delves into the ways grocery stores appeal to your senses in an effort to help you keep making those impulse buys. Something as simple as the choice of music matters. "Supermarkets know that music with slower tempos tends to decrease the flow of store traffic and increase sales volumes. Louder and faster music encourages customers to shop more quickly and purchase less," according to the report. Shopping for wine? Well, if they're playing classical music in that area you're more likely to buy the more expensive wines. You know, because just hearing classical music makes you more of a Mr. Fancy Pants. That smell of fresh-baked bread coming from the bakery? Probably fake, says the report. "The bakery department pumps aromas of freshly baked bread to get consumers' stomachs involved in the shopping decisions, even though most in-store bakeries use prepared foods and frozen dough." Companies specialize in creating these scents. Like the bakery, it should come as no surprise that, even though no one is washing their linens in the vicinity, the aisle of laundry products has a heavy smell of fresh laundry hanging over it. Brand choice is an illusion You may see dozens of different brands when you walk down the cereal or drinks aisle, but the reality is most categories are ruled by a couple corporate giants. Food & Water Watch examined 100 grocery categories, finding that 63.3% of sales were controlled by the biggest food companies. Kellogg (K), General Mills (GIS), Post (POST) and Pepsico (PEP) sell almost 50 different types of cereal and own nearly 80% of all cereal sales. Mondelez International's (MDLZ) Philadelphia brand accounts for almost 61% of cream cheese sales. In everything from sports drinks to baby formula and granola bars, Food & Water Watch found that generally only two to four companies control the bulk of market share.
Kiss Your Bananas Buh-Bye
That bunch of bananas on your kitchen counter -- the ones that are a staple of your baby's diet and the linchpin of your breakfast -- could be wiped out within the next couple years.
According to science journal Nature, the Cavendish banana variety, which accounts for nearly all of the world's global export trade, is under serious attack from a fungus that is making its way around the globe. The fungus recently turned up at banana plantations in Mozambique and Jordan, triggering fears that its next stop will be Latin America, the world's largest banana exporter. According to Nature, the fungus had been thought to be confined to Asia until it turned up in Mozambique in October.
"For those who buy their bananas in supermarkets, the Cavendish may well be the only variety they know," said Nature.
Twitter Owes You Money. Here's How to Find Out How Much
Twitter (TWTR) finished its first day as a publicly traded company on Thursday with a closing price of $44.90, down from an opening trade of $45.10 but up a cool 73% from its IPO price of $26. The offering made Twitter's founders and leaders rich. Very rich. Now, if you're one of the company's 230 million users, you helped out, right? So what's your share of the riches?
And the hype surrounding Twitter's initial public offering is already beginning to wear off on day two of trading. The stock is trading down approximatley 3% on Friday.
Obamacare Bungle Buries Brooklyn Cupcake Shop
Another day, another glitch in the already bungled rollout of Obamacare. This time, the victim is Brooklyn Cupcake.
Sisters Carmen Rodriguez and Gina Madera offer Puerto Rican and Italian-inspired flavors, and their shop was rated as one of the best of New York in the Daily News . Recently, their phone lines have been buzzing. Unfortunately, people aren't asking about their latest pastry offerings. Instead, they only want to know about one thing — Obamacare.
Related: Obamacare Unlikely to Create a Nation of Part-Timers
According to the New York Post, Brooklyn Cupcake was one of hundreds of businesses the state health department mistakenly listed as providing help with enrolling in the new health care plans.
"I don't want to be listed, because they are calling my telephone off the hook," Rodriguez told the Post , adding that she has received almost 150 calls.
Katy Perry Takes Fire for Pumping Pepsi
It's turning into a rough week for beverage giants Coca-Cola (KO) and Pepsi (PEP), and it's only Monday. Katy Perry is coming under fire from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, which will be running a full-page ad in Variety on Tuesday taking the pop singer to task for her role as a Pepsi spokesperson. "It's a sad story that some of the best-known celebrities in the country are encouraging their young audiences to drink beverages that are bad for their health," Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Center for Science, told USA Today. "Being popular among children brings with it an enormous responsibility. Don't exploit that popularity by marketing a product that causes disease in your fans," reads the ad. The same group took aim at Beyonce in December 2012 after she inked a $50 million deal to pump Pepsi. "Your image is one of success, health, talent, fitness, and glamor. But by lending your name and image to PepsiCo, you are associating those positive attributes with a product that is quite literally sickening Americans," wrote the Center for Science in the Public Interest in an open letter. Coca-Cola (KO) has also found itself the target of yet another anti-obesity campaign.
Heidi Klum Misses the Cut on Stroller Design
Heidi Klum has been successful in a variety of pursuits -- supermodel, designer, spokesperson, television host -- but she appears to have missed the cut when it comes to stroller design.
Consumer Reports on Thursday issued a "don't buy" rating on Klum's Truly Scrumptious Travel System, sold exclusively at Babies "R" Us stores for $220. The problem, says CR, rests in the stroller's buckle.
"When we applied force where the harness attaches to the buckle itself, the buckle's right side released 10 out of 15 times on three separate samples," reads the report.
The stroller fared even poorer when subjected to an impact test that simulates a stroller hitting a curb. "This time, the buckle's right side released one out of five times on each of two samples, and five out of five time on a third sample."
"Of the more than 100 strollers in Consumer Reports' Ratings, the Truly Scrumptious Travel System is the only one with this problem."
McDonald's: Hey Kid, Want a Toy With That Happy Meal? Here's a Book
McDonald's is bumping out toys in its iconic happy meals in favor of books -- at least for a limited time.
According to a report in AdAge, America's favorite burger chain will offer four "original children's books carrying a nutritional message" in Happy Meals for two weeks in November. Some 20 millions books are expected to be distributed during the period.
Now, don't go thinking the Hamburglar or Ronald himself have gone out, taken up CrossFit and embraced a paleo diet. AdAge reports that the books will feature newer characters. "The Goat Who Ate Everything" chronicles the struggles of a goat, who, well, you know, eats too much and learns to eat better. Related: The Absolute Genius of McDonald's Veggie Gambit
It appears McDonald's is looking to make a regular thing of the publishing business, with plans to offer e-books next year.
How CVS Birthed the 'Receipts Are Too Damn Long' Party
The latest sign of society's downfall is finally getting the attention it deserves. Like Occupy Wall Street before it, the embers of change are first being stoked across social media. The problem? To paraphrase the great Jimmy McMillan, the Receipts Are Too Damn Long.
That's right, epically-long receipts are the latest example of corporate waste, and the chief offender appears to be CVS (CVS). The drug store chain's penchant for giving customers about 4 feet and 10 inches of extra paper with their purchases has taken on a life of its own as an Internet meme, spawning its own parody account on Twitter (@CVS_Receipt, launched Jun 29) and spurring legions of not-quite-fans to find new and unusual uses for the receipts.
I am unnecessarily long.
Even CVS's Facebook Page is peppered with customers complaining about the miles of receipts they find themselves leaving the store with.
5 Top Stocks of the Week
Editors Note: The list of top stocks is derived from the quote pages that received the most views on Yahoo! Finance by examining data for the current week. It is not, however, a list of the most searched-for tickers or company names on our site.
1. Apple (AAPL)
The rumor mill was churning at a blistering pace well before Tim Cook had a chance to walk in the doors at Apple HQ on Monday. Unfortunately for him, none of the rumors were good.
First there was chatter that Verizon Wireless' iPhone sales were falling short of expectations. Then there were reports that the iWatch, or alleged iWatch, was running into engineering problems and delays that could push its introduction to the end of 2014.
Apple has gained 0.9% over the last five full trading days, closing at $431.76 a share on Thursday. Shares remain down 21.4% for the year-to-date.
Sales of PCs continue to dwindle, putting the pinch on Intel.
Apple's Goodwill Fades, Yet It Holds Fast Among Top Stocks

1. Apple (AAPL)
Tim Cook's streak of good press from his appearance at the All Things D conference and his testimony before Congress on corporate taxes lasted about two weeks. This week, it was back to another onslaught of bad news.
Days later, a report issued on Thursday claimed that Apple's iPhone sales in China have been falling precipitously. An analyst cited by Investor's Business Daily said iPhone sales had fallen as much as 70% quarter-to-quarter as Chinese wireless carriers reduced subsidies. And as Apple has lost, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has gained, says the report.
Apple shares have fallen steadily throughout the week, down 2.5% over the last five full trading days. Shares are down more than 20% for the year-to-date.

Church in Kerala, India, celebrates feast with elephants in Hindu tradition
Catholic News Service
KOTTEKAD, India — In the Christian heartland of Kerala, India, feisty church festivals are commonplace, but the celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Fatima at St. Mary's Assumption Church in Kottekad remains unique.
Emulating a typical Hindu pooram, or festival, when the deities are carried in procession to the temples on elephants to the accompaniment of traditional bands called "panchavadyam," a portrait of Our Lady of Fatima was carried to the Syro-Malabar Catholic church on elephants Oct. 20.
Wearing golden headgear, two groups of three elephants each strolled elegantly for three hours at the back of the procession, swinging their broad ears as if enjoying the frantic traditional temple drum beat along the main roads of the parish.
Other bands moved ahead of the procession with rows of colorful umbrellas adding to the glitter, while families vied with one another to burst firecrackers as the procession passed their gates. Each household was packed with family members invited for the parish feast.
By the time two lines of the procession with the elephants met in front of the church, thousands had occupied every inch of space to watch the concluding "kudamattam," or change of umbrellas.
This was an imitation of the famous Thrissur pooram for which more than a million people gather from all over the world to watch the change of the umbrellas with intricate designs and colors. Participants hold the umbrellas atop 31 elephants, to the accompaniment of hundreds of drums.
Instead of the display of umbrellas of dazzling colors, the hallmark of "kudamattam" at the temples, people at the church stood atop the elephants and hoisted umbrellas with designs of crosses, angels, the Sacred Heart, Our Lady of Fatima, and other Christian symbols.
The cheers of the crowd grew louder as innovative designs were held aloft by the volunteers perched on top of the elephants, while mahouts kept watchful eyes on their legs chained together to prevent them from moving.
At the end of the hourlong change of umbrellas, the crowds cheered as the elephants moved across the ground to the chapel front to salute the statue of Our Lady of Fatima inside. They raised their trunks and spread their ears, while the announcer animatedly declared: "Devotees, you are witnessing a spectacle that you can never see at a church in Kerala -- elephants bowing before the Mother."
"This is a unique feast celebration. No (other) church in Kerala has adopted the Hindu tradition in such an elaborate manner," Father Davis Chiramel, parish vicar, told Catholic News Service.
A statue of Our Lady of Fatima was brought to nearby Thrissur in 1952 and was installed at the Kottekad church. Now, each year, the feast at the chapel is celebrated on the Sunday after Oct. 13, feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
Father Chiramel said the celebration is "not focused on the elephant show, but it just concludes with it." The preparation begins 10 days earlier with a parish retreat, eucharistic procession and novena, attended by hundreds of people, including Hindus.
"I was in the parish council that decided (in 1980) to use an elephant in the feast celebration for the first time. There was no opposition to that proposal," recalled 77-year old P.P. Ouseph. "The intention was that it would lead to greater bond with the Hindu community."
"Later, the number of elephants was increased .... I am very happy that the Hindus are taking a big interest in celebrating our feast," he added.
N.K. Sivan, a Hindu who works in a jewelry store about 50 miles from Kottekad, said he never misses the feast. All of his siblings -- two brothers and eight married sisters with 16 grandchildren -- travel to the family home near the chapel days ahead of the feast.
Sivan said family members love making decorations for the church.
"Mother (Our Lady of Fatima) has seen us through all our troubles in life," said Sivan's 72-year old widowed mother, Meenakshi.
"We have great faith in the Mother, and I have no doubt that it was due to this intercession my eight daughters could be married off despite my penury," she added.
K. Radha Krishnan, a Hindu manual laborer standing near the umbrella of Our Lady of Fatima he had designed with coconut leaves, told CNS: "I made this umbrella. I am sure Mother will give a special blessing for me and my family."
Many Hindus participated in the decoration of the chapel and preparation of the floats that were lifted up on top of the elephants, and they reported blessings and healings, said Praveen Chandy, one of the leaders of the feast celebration committee.
"The Christian community in Kerala has a long tradition of inculturation from the Hindu practices," said Father Paul Thelakat, spokesman for the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, which is based in Kerala.
"The decorated elephant is a very usual practice for Hindu festivals, which has been used for Christian processions also. There is a commonality of language between the Hindus and Christians in Kerala, which is cultural. So it is a welcome act," said Father Thelakat.

A Philadelphia Magazine Superlawyer who protects the Rights of Good People in Bad Times.When your freedom and liberty is on the line, I'm the aggressive voice in the courtroom you need.
Posted by Corey
Brian M. Fishman is a very skillful, diligent, and intelligent lawyer who is honest and straightforward with his clients throughout the entire litigation process. All he asks is that you tell him EVERYTHING. From there, he works hard to get you the best possible result for your case. He keeps you well-informed and updated of what's going on throughout your case.
Brian is the complaining witness' worst nightmare. A lot of the BS in my case was exposed at the preliminary hearing upon Brian's thorough cross-examination of the witness. Character assessment, inconsistent statements, and evidence that somehow missed the discovery were communicated to the prosecutors' office in the duration of the hearings leading up to trial. Months passed, and I was convinced the case was going to trial. That was until Brian called me days before my last pre-trial hearing, and informed me that the DA would be withdrawing all of the charges after reviewing his communications with them! The charges, which upon conviction would have placed me behind bars for up to ~50 years, were indeed withdrawn. The verdict then translated into subsequent victory in family court against a Protection From Abuse order for the same charges in the same day!
I highly recommend Brian Fishman as a criminal defense lawyer to anyone charged with crimes in the Greater Philadelphia area.

After 17 years an old case came back to haunt me and would have destroyed a life I worked so hard to create for myself, but Brian was not going to let that happen. From the moment I met Brian I knew I was in excellent hands! His kind and caring demeanor made me feel so comfortable, like we had known eachother for years. I was facing very serious felony charges and Brian got me ARD! Brian saved my life and I am eternally greatful! If you ever find your fate in the hands of the court, do not hesitate to call him!

My boyfriend was convicted in Delaware County and sentenced to 4-8 years. I was referred to Brian Fishman prior to trial and I should've hired him then but I didn't. But, I hired him for the appeal and he got my boyfriend's conviction overturned. Now, I would never hire another lawyer. His legal skills and communication skills are the best. Whenever I was stressed out about the case, I could always count on Brian to explain things to me in a way that calmed me down.
I met with Brian a few times and he didn't even charge me for the consultations. Every other attorney I dealt with, and I dealt with a few for this case, were always rushing me off the phone or out of their office and just robbing me for my money. But, not Brian. He took the time to break every point down to me. He's got a great sense of humor and goes above and beyond for his clients and their families. I asked question after question and he never got irritated with me. I called his office or his cell phone or even texted him and he always got back to me and took the time to explain everything. His communication skills are beyond compare.
And, his legal skills are second to none. He wrote a detailed and well researched brief which convinced the Superior Court to throw out my boyfriend's conviction and 4-8 year sentence and grant him a new trial. To sum it all up, if you're looking for an attorney who knows his job, who has a heart, who is going to fight for you every step of the way, who is going to take the time with your case and not just take your money, you need to hire Brian. He can handle any case that comes his way. You won't regret the decision to hire Brian Fishman.

I hire Mr. Fishman in 2008 for a drug case, Mr. Fishman won me an motion to suppress the evidence in April of 2009, Mr. Fishman also went in front on my back judge free of charge to get me home. Even thought the DA appealled the motion, and it was overturned in 2011, I had gained employment during the course of time while waiting for the overall decision, Although the case had been overturned and the case was looking bad for me, Mr. Fishman was able to get me WORK RELEASE for 11 1/2 to 23 months eligible for early parole in 6 months, oh and by the way I was facing a MANDATORY SENTENCE OF 5-10 YEARS. So i would highly recommend Mr. Fishman for any type of legal representation that is within his field.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Brian Fishman is a top-notch Philadelphia criminal defense attorney. He spent four years prosecuting cases in the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. But since 2005, he has honed his craft as a trial lawyer and used them to defend those charged with criminal offenses. Brian has become one of the most respected criminal defense attorneys in Philadelphia due to his fierce cross-examination, his personable and zealous closing arguments and his outstanding record of acquittals. When he is not in court, Brian is either preparing for trial or spending time communicating with clients and their families regarding the complexities of the criminal justice system. He understands that this can be an extremely stressful time for a family and he wants to make sure that everyone involved understands the status of the case and is at ease.

Brian Fishman is an outstanding lawyer, a fierce advocate and a teriffic person. I highly recommend him to anyone needing the best possible criminal defense in Philadelphia and the surrounding counties.

From Tara Finglas: There are early symptoms of pregnancy that may point to the possibility. Every woman is different. So are her experiences of pregnancy. Not every woman has the same symptoms or even the same symptoms from one pregnancy to the next. Also, because the early symptoms of pregnancy are often like what happens right before and during menstruation, those symptoms aren't always recognized.Content rating: Low Maturity

The Human and Mouse Cell Isolation and Phenotyping Core (Core C) will provide services for all four research projects in the University of Utah Molecular Medicine Translational Research Center in Thrombosis (U2M2-TRCT) program. Core C is centrally located and immediately available to all U2M2-TRCT investigators. The core will isolate human and mouse megakaryocytes and platelets for U2M2-TRCT investigators, perform standard in vitro and in vivo platelet function assays, assist with generation, breeding, and maintenance of genetically manipulated mice proposed in projects 1 and 2, and manage mouse models of obesity and diabetes. Core C is led by a group of investigators with strengths and expertise in all of the essential core activities. In order to standardize populations of megakaryocytes and platelets among studies, Core C will isolate and culture megakaryocytes and platelets for all U2M2-TRCT investigators. In this regard. Core C will communicate directly with Core B to ensure seamless isolation of platelets from patients with obesity and diabetes. The Core will also directly communicate with projects 1 and 2 for cell isolation, metabolic phenotyping, and related functional analyses. The Core is equipped with a cell sorter and sterile incubators for isolation and culture of purified human and mouse megakaryocytes and platelets. In addition, the core has equipment for in vitro and in vivo analyses of platelet function and metabolic phenotyping of mice that will be used in projects 1 and 2. Core investigators will also work together to generate, breed, and maintain colonies of mice that are proposed in projects 1 and 2. The U2M2-TRCT program will use the expertise and resources provided by Core C to guide and direct studies proposed in projects 1-4.
Patients with type 2 diabetes, obesity, or the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk for blood clots (thrombosis) caused by cells called platelets. Our studies will determine how metabolic factors in the blood and tissues (the metabolic milieu), such as high glucose and lipids, make platelets more prone to induce thrombosis, providing new insights into the treatment and management of diabetes and obesity.

Space and location adds to depth if it is in relation to a mechanics like combat. Hence, even in instanced game, you have a 3D representation of a dungeon. In chess, the co-ordinates are spatial elements for tactical combat. However, an abundance of space with no activity but traveling inside only adds to the boredom. In fact, it is a loss in options, at least temporarily, if you locked a player into a space with nothing but movement. There are more options if you pop up a menu and ask him if he want to go to point A, B or C. Note that this is completely different than in a combat situation where distance is a tactical factor.
Not really. You're pretending that all choices of where to go are moot because one has to move to get there and then ignoring that it gives you much more freedom to choose where to go than clicking on an icon ever will.
That time you drag others out of combat is an important factor too. This is exactly why I mentioned MOBAs, because you have plenty of times where players are forced to shift between lanes to address strong harassment form an opponent who very likely will bail and change lanes solely for the purpose of leading even a single strong player on a wild goose chase long enough for others to suffer for their absence.
This is also you repeating the same fallback notion we've clarified multiple times previously, about you, axe, etc rallying against the notion of 'no activity but travel'. Which seems ironic that parkour is enough for you to consider it interesting.
Fact is that regardless of if you as an individual can or can't tolerate to take a minute of your time to get somewhere, travel is a mechanic that grants options. A design choice that adds a very different feel and play to the game.
Hence the constant popularity of the open world games like Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, or Elder Scrolls and to a degree Borderlands.
A notion you find present in titles ranging from RTS games like Starcraft 1/2 and Age of Empires, into MOBAS like LoL and Smite, especially in survival and craft games like Minecraft and Don't Starve. Important to the pacing of life cycle in simulations such as Sims or Spore and Flight, and into the genre we all know and love the RPG with Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age. Not forgetting our perpetual punching bag the MMO market with WoW and Everquest or Planetside and Secret World.
If you notice, your last post is perhaps the most honest. Rather than try and argue the merits of the system, you simply noted that 'for you' it wasn't fun.
What stands for one on the pretense of fun does not stand universal. That should be evidenced well enough from the many posts you've already responded to, especially the one you last quoted being pretty clear on that matter.

Not really. You're pretending that all choices of where to go are moot because one has to move to get there and then ignoring that it gives you much more freedom to choose where to go than clicking on an icon ever will.
What pretending? It is true for so many slow travel mechanics.
EQ boat ride. What choice? You get on. You wait 20 min. There is no freedom. An instant menu option is better.
Slow flying to a dungeon. Now you can have the option of flying straight, or take a LONGER detour. Uninteresting and trivial option in this case. Why would i want such option in exchange of wasting my time? A simple click is better.
Slow travel does not always give more options, and even when it does so, the options are not always interesting and fun.
Corpse runs? Kinda. They were sometimes too unforgiving.
Serious death penalties, like DAoC's though? Absolutely. There needs to be risk for the reward to be worth it. It's like, the golden rule of game design.
When you have one destination and the means to get there is not something you control, that's what you just griped against in both EQ and WoW.
As for your other comment, well that's natural that not every moment has grand opportunity. The difference is that there is at least opportunity where otherwise there would have been nothing.
EDIT: And I just gave a rundown of a couple games from multiple genres that disagree with the notion. Granted you are still qualifying by singling out an extreme condition that is not the issue itself and making an issue out of it.

No. There needs to be a skill challenge for the reward to be worth it. If all you have is risk than all you have is gambling and you might as well just go to a casino. In RL challenging things tend to be risky so people tend to confuse the two things. I consider gambling to be the refuge of those who lack the skill or inclination to tackle challenges. As such harsh death penalties tend to be Lowest Common Denominator features.

I do miss them. And the real corpse runs from EQ, not the watered down invulnerable ones from WoW I miss them because: -like you said, it creates fear.....when you're fighting a mob you need to feel fear, you can not feel fear if there's nothing to lose, XP loss and corpse runs both tap into that fear -it creates downtime, which helps the community -it creates community like you said, you needed that cleric and necro in the case you lost your corpse, you needed that druid for sow and you needed an invis or IVU sometimes
If you think EQ1 had " real " corpse runs then you must not have played the games that came before it where if you died mobs would roll your corpse and take your stuff. Often you had to clear an entire dungeon just to get all of your stuff back. EQ1 was cake compared to those games.
On topic.. Yes and No.
Every form of death penalty that serves as an Obstacle to fun and meaningfull gameplay is wrong!!
Corpse runs are not fun! or meaningfull therefore they are obstacles
They are just a time sink that frustrates players
pardon me.. everyone has their own opinion this is mine deal with it i do not miss corpse runs in MMORPGs

)The Wildean dandy is, on the one hand an aristocrat, who uses his wit to shock the others, and on the other hand an individualist who seeks absolute freedom.
2) He devotes his life to pursuing pleasure, which in its turn results from his indulgence in the beautiful. Actually, his only interests are beautiful clothes, talks, food, and handsome boys.
3) Dorian is a young man whose beauty fascinates a painter, Basil Hallward, who decides to portray him. Dorian wishes he could stay young forever, whereas the portrait grew old in his place.
4) While Dorian's desire for eternal youth is satisfied, the signs of age and corruption appear in the portrait.
5) Dorian lives only for pleasure, taking advantage of his friends and letting people die because of his insensitivity. When the painter sees the corrupted image of the portrait, Dorian kills him.
7) The portrait stands for the dark side of his personality, which he tries to forget by locking it in a room.
8) Every excess must be punished, and reality cannot be escaped. Dorian cannot avoid the punishment for all his sins.
