Dec. 5 (UPI) -- NBA champion LeBron James has already proven what he can accomplish on the basketball court but it sounds as if his new mission is to show what he can do on the set.
According to reports, James is set to star alongside Kevin Hart in Ballers, a basketball comedy for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment. Hart and James will play twin brothers in the film.
Brian Grazer and Michael Rosenberg are producing the flick and Hart will co-write the script along with his partners Joey Wells, Chris Spencer and Harry Ratchford.
The movie could have a certain Arnold Schwarzenegger/Danny DeVito touch to it (a la Twins) because James is 6'8" and Hart is under 5'3."
Here's a synopsis of the plot via Deadline:
Hart will "star as a man who lives in the shadow of his NBA superstar brother (James), but gets a chance to prove himself when he and some pals attend a weekend fantasy basketball camp in Miami."
James' right-hand man, Maverick Carter, will executive produce on the film as will King James himself.

Real Property Valuations
Valuation of Real Property Exempted by Tax Abatements, by
Class of Abatement and County, Calendar Year 1987
The value of real property in Ohio that was exempt from
taxation amounted to $13,623,922,582 (see PE-2) for tax year
1987. Of this amount, $595,156,832 was exempt from taxation
due to exemptions granted by local governments through tax
abatements. The largest type of tax abatement program is the
community reinvestment program with $261,408,952 in exempt
value. Tax abatements are granted by county, township and
municipal governments for the purposes of economic
development and urban renewal. Table PE-3 shows the value of
the real property exempted using tax abatements, by abatement
class, and by county.
Each abatement class shown in the table is a program
administered by county, township or municipal governments.
The five tax abatement classes are as follows:
* Community redevelopment corporation abatement - exempts
value of improvements to real property by designated
corporations in certain blighted areas. The areas are
designated by municipal authorities;
* Community reinvestment area abatements - exempts certain
real property improvements. Municipalities collect the
equivalent of the taxes exempted as service fees. These are
used to fund other projects through municipal redevelopment
tax increment financing abatement programs and municipal
urban renewal programs.;
* Municipal redevelopment tax increment financing - exempts
improvements to real property to which a municipality or a
township holds title. They may require the "lessee" to pay
service fees equivalent to the tax that would have been
collected had exemptions not been granted;
* Municipal urban renewal abatements - exempts improvements
to real property in designated "urban renewal areas". A
municipality may then require service fees to be paid by the
owner to service outstanding urban renewal bonds issued by
the municipality;
* Other abatements - comprised mainly of enterprise zone tax
abatements. Enterprise zones are designated by municipalities
or by counties with the municipalities' consent. The purpose
of an enterprise zone is to promote job creation and economic
development in depressed areas by granting tax abatements to
new or expanding enterprises within the boundaries of the
designated zones.
Figures shown are compiled from Exempted Real Property
Abstracts filed by county auditors.

Heart Scans Tied to Overtreatment, Side Effects
When symptom-free people have heart scans to look for clogged arteries, they can end up with overtreatment and side effects, researchers said Monday.
In a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, they found people who had the scans were much more likely to be put on medications and undergo surgery than those who chose standard health screening.
The scans, called coronary computed tomography angiography or CCTA, produce a detailed image of the heart that reveals cholesterol buildups in the coronary arteries.
If they get big enough, such buildups may cut the blood flow and cause a heart attack. So in theory, treating them early on might help stave off some the more than 1.2 million heart attacks -- a third of them fatal -- that occur every year in the U.S.
Yet there's no evidence that treating people based on heart scan results does any good, said Dr. John McEvoy, of Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease in Baltimore, who led the new study.
By contrast, it's well known that the scans expose patients to a high dose of X-rays, which can increase their likelihood of developing cancer. And the dyes used to enhance the images cause kidney damage in a significant portion of people.
"Testing might lead to more harm than good," McEvoy told Reuters Health, adding that heart scans may cost $600 or more.
His team looked at 1,000 Korean patients who chose to get a heart scan as part of a health screening program at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital.
The researchers compared those patients to closely matched individuals who opted to forgo the scans—not currently recommended by guidelines—and just get the standard health checkup.
More than a fifth of the patients who got scanned had cholesterol buildups in their arteries, also called atherosclerosis.
Three months later, these individuals were using cholesterol-lowering statins 34 percent of the time and blood-thinning aspirin 40 percent of the time. In those who tested negative for atherosclerosis or didn't get scanned, less than 10 percent used the medications.
People who got scans also had more additional tests and major heart procedures.
The researchers expected that if the extra drugs and procedures were actually helpful, the treated people would have a lower rate of serious heart problems in the future.
But after another 18 months, there was no such difference. There was just one event in the 1,000 people who had CCTA (one case of hospitalization for chest pain) and one in the 1,000 people who didn't (a heart-related death).
Currently, whether a patient gets statin or aspirin is based on risk factors such as their age, and how much cholesterol is in their blood. Both drugs have side effects, notably joint problems and bleeding ulcers.
Although the study can't prove that getting a scan caused the extra medication use, the gap could not be explained by differences in risk factors for heart disease, such as cholesterol levels or smoking.
In an editorial, Dr. Michael S. Lauer of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, said the new study serves as a reminder of the downsides of screening.
"Physicians cannot easily ignore diagnoses made with screening tests because it is impossible for them to determine whether their patients have real disease or pseudodisease," Lauer notes. "Therefore, physicians prescribe tests, medications, procedures, or even surgical procedures, all of which carry inherent risks."
McEvoy agrees. "With these new imaging techniques, we are left with the dilemma of what to do with the results," he said.
Even when screening helps predict health problems down the road, Lauer adds, that doesn't mean treatments are necessarily beneficial.
"Overdiagnosis is threatening to become an increasingly important public health problem because of the enthusiasm for and proliferation of unproven screening tests," Lauer writes.
McEvoy said there have been several reports of doctors doing CCTA heart scans in healthy patients, although the practice is currently discouraged by the American Heart Association.
According to McEvoy, doctors should focus on patients' lifestyle and traditional risk factors such as smoking and obesity.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch ReviewSamsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch
The third generation of Galaxy Tab slates consists of three tablets of different sizes, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch is the middle child in the family. It is an Android 4.2.2 based tablet that fits perfectly in the mid-range category – with an 8-inch touchscreen, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and a 5MP auto-focus camera to top it all off. But hardware specs aren't all that this device has to grab our attention with. The 8-inch Galaxy Tab 3 actually stands out with being pretty light and portable for its class. But ultimately, is it worth getting? Read on to find out!
To the surprise of no one, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch is visually quite similar to the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the rest of the members in the Galaxy Tab 3 family. And that's okay, of course, as that's how a brand's consistency is maintained. The tablet is made of glossy patterned plastic that, thankfully, doesn't have a tendency to slip out of the user's hand. The typical for Samsung devices metal-like band around the sides is present as well. Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch looks okay for something made of plastic, although it won't really wow anyone with its looks.
We have Samsung's traditional button arrangement applied to the Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch, with a physical "Home" key, accompanied by capacitive "Back" and "Menu" keys. On the right side of the tablet are positioned the power button and the volume rocker. They are both slightly raised, which makes them easier to locate and operate.
The 8-inch LCD touchscreen on this Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 model has a resolution of 800 by 1280 pixels. Yeah, we know that's far from impressive, but such pixel density (184 ppi) is typical for tablets of that size. The screen is usable, of course, and gets the job done for any task imaginable, ranging from reading books, surfing the web, or watching video, although pixelation is easy to notice throughout the interface.
Color representation is on the neutral side, but users who are more into vivid colors are free to adjust the screen mode via the Settings menu. In addition, Samsung has thrown in Adapt Display – a feature capable of fine-tuning the images on the screen depending on what's being displayed, and Reading Mode, which is available in some apps, making text easier to read.
Using the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch outdoors may be a challenge. However, the brightness of its screen isn't to blame. It is just that fingerprints stick to the screen's surface easily reflecting the sun's light, and wiping them off is easier said than done. Cleaning its surface noticeably improves the display's outdoor visibility.

Would buy for $250
8. roldefol (Posts: 4738; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Agreed. Samsung should really go for the jugular with their pricing. $200 for the 7" Tab 3, $250 for the 8" Tab 3, $300 for the Note 8.0.
17. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
I am guessing $299.99. From a marketing perspective, that would undercut the Mini high enough while not seeming budget like a $99 hip street tablet. Appear more high end, through psychological pricing, than a Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire, while being a bigger bargain than an ipad mini while still having a price point approaching premium.
That and the Note 8.0 minus $100 Wacom digitizer = $299.
31. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
with the next gen nexus 7 is about to come, anyone who buy this crapy samsung tablet ( 3.7.0/3.8.0 ) is stupid or die hard samsung fanboys, even nexus 7 is overall better than this crapy tablet
and how many time you will said that wacom digitizer/ S-pen is $100???
go to wacom store and check wacom stylus for galaxy note its only $39.95
so please stop talking about BS
32. JojoGo101 (Posts: 211; Member since: 17 Dec 2012)
So your going to buy a Wacom stylus for a tablet that has no Wacom digitizer? LOL

Hahaha That one isn't very bright. In fact, most Smasung haters are not very bright.
39. galaxylover (Posts: 4; Member since: 03 May 2014)

Decent tablet with decent specs...
Aggressive pricing would give the ipad siblings a bit of hard time...
But I'm seriously waiting for the new Ipad 5 and mini 2...

in my opinion apple just makes everything so frickin expensive and it isn't even good.
hopefully they make a apple tablet lol that will be strange

your totally lied in this review. The specs that you talk in this review are wrong. It seems that you are lot ignorants. The cpu it's an Intel Atom Z2560 dual core at 1.6GHz with PowerVR SGX544MP2 gpu at 400MHz but with, that it's true, with 1.5GB RAM. Please, correct this data specs. You are totally wrong.

Only the 10-inch Galaxy Tab 3 has an Intel processor. the 8-inch has an Exynos 4212 SoC with 1.5GHz dual-core ARM processor.

A cheap looking tablet, I'd rather buy a China tablet than this expensive crap! SAMESUNG!

Yes you like buying crap. That is why you buy HTC. Nokia, or Sony right?
21. PunyPoop (Posts: 752; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Yeah, and Apple, I have an iMAc, Macbook Pro, iPad4, iPad mini and iPhone5. You want?

Some fans would say that only a 1280 x 800 screen is con and plastic is a con, but those are the stupid people.
In reality, it really doesn't. How else do you think Apple and Samsung make the money? Humans naturally tend to prefer consistency. As little flaws as possible >>>>>> than amazing in one area no one cares about and poor in others. That is something Nokia and HTC fail to grasp. Fix your flaws rather than hide them behind a 41mp camera or aluminum/boom sound speakers/amp. Overcompensating doesn't always work.
20. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1122; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Now you added Nokia to your pathetic little rants? First HTC, now Nokia and apparently Sony too. You are quite a hater aren't you?

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Here we have a collection of articles to help with your health.
Hippocrates' quote has always spoken to me: "Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food." I am a Registered Dietitian and wholeheartedly believe that what we put into our bodies has a direct effect on our body's performance, health, ability, and longevity. Food really does have the ability to help, heal, and act as preventative health care, but it also has the ability to hurt and destroy our bodies. Food can be thy medicine, but of course, it has to be the right food.
What is the right food? We're bombarded every day by news stories and article headlines about the latest fad diet, the food that is the new cure-all, and the drink that will heal us. No wonder we're confused about what the right food for our bodies is! We can learn from Hippocrates who lived in a time when there were no processed products; no Gogurt yogurt packets or Lunchables; no microwaves to nuke our Healthy Choice or Hungry Man meals; and no additives, preservatives, coloring, or chemicals to make our food something it was not meant to be.
That food he spoke of - fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, meat on the rare occasion you were able to catch it, fish if you were near water, and dairy if you had animals to provide it - is real medicine. Its nutrients and health properties have the ability to keep our bodies healthy, without the need for so much modern medicine. Those whole, unprocessed, nature-made foods, completely unaltered or enhanced, are what our bodies crave and require to remain healthy.
Although "Let food be thy medicine," was said by a man who lived to 377 B.C., I can't help but think that if Hippocrates were around today, his catch phrase would modernize to mimic the popular catch phrase of the iPhone:
Yeah, we've got an app for that.
Hippocrates, however, would give it his healthy spin, of course. I imagine he would say something more along the lines of, "Sick? Yeah, we've got an app(le) for that." While the iPhone promotes its apps to solve every question or conundrum known to man, Hippocrates would promote whole nutritious foods over medicine to solve every ailment or illness known to man.
Have poor heart health? Yeah, we've got salmon for that.
Have declining eyesight? Yeah, we've got carrots for that.
Need to boost your immune system? Yeah, we've got antioxidant rich produce for that.
Depressed? Yeah, we've got omega-3s for that.
Want to keep the doctor away? Yeah, we've got app(le)s for that.
If Hippocrates, our father of modern medicine were still alive, he may be surprised to see that people today are relying on modern technology, such as the apps on an iPhone, to improve their health. From weight loss programs to calorie counters, you can find an app for your iPhone to help you get healthy. But in my opinion, the only application we need to lead healthy lives is an active lifestyle and a diet full of whole, unprocessed, nutritious food, just like Hippocrates recommended.

Genomic constitution
St - This is the most widespread genome in the Triticeae. The species in which it is the only genome are not particularly abundant, but species in which the St genome is combined with one or more other genomes are numerous and widely distributed. See, for example, Anthosachne, Campeiostachys, Douglasdeweya, Elymus, Kengyilia, and Roegneria.
Distinguishing features
Plants perennial. Inflorescences with a touch rachis and solitary spikelets; middle internodes only slightly shorter than the spikelets. Spikelets truly sessile or on pedicels up to 0.3 mm long. Anthers more than 3 mm long.
Plants perennial, not or only shortly rhizomatous. Culms 35-110 cm tall, lowest internode 0.5-1.8 mm thick.
Leaves 1–7 mm wide, ribs prominent on upper surface.
Inflorescence spikelike, rachis tough, with solitary spikelets; lowest internode and middle internodes similar in length, 7–16 mm.
Spikelets solitary, tangential to the rachis, 10–16 mm long, those at mid-inflorescence shorter than to slightly longer than the adjacent internode, not pedicellate or pedicels up to 0.3 mm.
Glumes lanceolate, 75-95% as long as the adjacent lemmas, glabrous and smooth or the midvein scabrous distally, midvein prominent, tips flat or almost flat, obtuse to acute or mucronate.
Lemmas usually glabrous, midvein prominent distally, often prolonged into an awn. Paleas from slightly shorter to slightly longer than the lemmas, slightly outwardly curved to the tip, tip flat, the intercostal region truncate or retuse. Lodicules unlobed, sometimes ciliate. Anthers 1.2-6 mm long.
Based on various references, there are about 30 taxa. Some of these may prove, on closer examination, to belong to other genomic genera. It is important to identify the infraspecific taxaon when reporting the genomic constitution because, in some instances, they have proven to be genomically different. For instance, Liu and Wang (1992) showed that Pseudoroegneria geniculata subsp. scythica contains both the E and St genomes which, using the taxonomy of this site, makes it a species of Thinopyrum. The name Pseudoroegnera geniculata refers to ALL the subspecies, not just Pseudoroegneria geniculata subsp. geniculata. Thus it cannot be said that Pseudoroegnerai geniculata, as currently treated, has only the St genome.
Examination of some specimens of Pseudoroegneria geniculata subsp. scythica indicates that it does have the morphological characteristics of that genus, but a more detailed study of the whole species.
Eurasia and western North America
Alternative interpretations
Pseudoroegneria is often included in Elymus or Elytrigia.
Type species
Pseudoroegneria strigosa(Nevski) A. Love
Known problems
There has never been a global treatment of Pseudoroegneria. Given the importance of its genome in the perennial Triticeae, this merits being given a high priority. Such a study should include an examination of morphological, cytological, genomic, molecular, and distributional characteristics of its members. It has been suggested, based on cytological evidence, that Pseudoroegneria spicata and Pseudoroegneria stipilifolia should be treated as a single species. The suggestion has not been followed by any of those working in the tribe.

While traveling the Fourth Congressional District during August, it was clear to me that the top priorities of Kentuckians are jobs and economic growth. The need for these issues to be our top priority is reinforced by the latest jobs report that zero net jobs were created in America last month, and the unemployment rate remains unacceptably high at more than 9 percent.
As lawmakers returned to Washington last week, President Obama addressed a special joint session of Congress to outline his plan to get the economy moving again and create jobs.

Too long, full of plot holes, just overall disappointing.
If you keep stuffing your face with popcorn you probably won't notice the massive plot holes. You'll forget the movie before you walk out of the theatre.
An amazing adventure for the new generations. Still this movie did not follow the traditional style of SW the movie reached some of my expectations.
Beautiful story. Where the finally of an old era ends to a new begining. Luke said the Jedi needed to end. I think he was referring to the Jedi old school. She is the new chosen one. A new begining.
I loved 1 to 6 but this one outch i dont think i need to explain why i realy was disapointed every negative review here explaines it
i agree whit all of them
I noticed allot of 5 stars here but nun explaine what they liked about it
I gess its like all those popular mag revues its a superb movie just because its a big bujet walt disney flic
Oh but i do think like lucas its a beautifully made movie great sound great visiual effects stuning for the story he dident coment cuz there is no story to coment about the carectors ar at the exact same point in the story as they were at the bigining like noting append bravo johnson great epic fail
Movie was very cool. We watched the film twice.
I was offended by shirtless kylo
Epic movie. We loved the story.
Poor characters. Not much action. Weak story.
Bad. Wait for online version.

American Artist
Born in Toledo, Ohio Marilyn Simandle was raised in the Bay Area. She began painting at the age of six, encouraged by her mother who was also an artist. Marilyn received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from San Jose State University.
Since then, Marilyn has had over 62 one-woman shows and is a member of Plein Air Painters of America. She has been innumerous National Watercolor Society and American Watercolor Society shows and is the winner of many awards and medals. Including the distinction of twice winning the "High Winds Medal". With her movement into oils, one may expect an entire new venue of awards to be forthcoming.
Marilyn has been published in numerous national art magazines, enjoys teaching workshops and meeting her public.
Her work in oils or watercolor has a vibrance and light-play which is very arresting and her use of warm and cool colors juxtaposed gives an electric quality to her work. Her execution of her subject matter, be it florals or landscapes, has technical perfection while retaining an Impressionist spontaneity.

Thinking of installing a photovoltaic (PV) system but want to know how much energy and at what time of year a system would produce the most energy? You could contact some vendors and get some proposals to compare. But if you want to become an educated consumer and have a better idea of your site's solar potential before you start soliciting vendors (or to verify what they told you), these free online tools can estimate your energy production and utility savings. They can be easy to use by relying on default assumptions, but the more custom data you enter, the more accurate your results can be.
PVWatts version 1, PVWatts version 2, and the new kid on the block—IMBY ("In My Backyard")—are courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the federal government's research and development center for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The three tools are interrelated and are basically three ways to answer the same questions.
Site-Specific Data Calculator
This version was launched in 1999, and allows users to choose the closest of 239 locations in the United States and its territories (and more than 360 additional sites around the world). For example, Washington, DC, residents choose the nearby Sterling, Virginia, option. A "site-specific data calculator," Version 1 uses hourly solar radiation data derived from 30 years of data collection (1961–1990) from the National Solar Radiation Data Base. This data is used by the calculator to estimate monthly and annual energy production and financial savings. The tool calculates production based on characteristics of a grid-tied, crystalline-module PV system.
Many parameters can be adjusted to refine the system details, such the array's DC rating; the DC-to-AC derate factor; whether it is fixed tilt or tracked; and, if it is a fixed array, the tilt and azimuth. Version 1 also gives you a default electricity cost, but it's based on generalized 2004 data. It's best to enter your current electricity cost for more accurate results.
You can also customize the DC-to-AC derate factor, which is the percentage of available AC energy compared to the DC rating of the array (see "Derating a System" sidebar). The yielded values are accurate to ±30% for monthly calculations and ±10% for the annual value.
The biggest limitation of Version 1 is that you can only choose from four or five locations in each state, so regional climatic variations aren't factored in. However, it can yield hourly data over the year, which is useful to evaluate the benefits of time-of-use (TOU) metering available with some utilities—you can see if your proposed PV system's output should be peaking (or not) during the same time of high utility rates.
Grid Data Calculator
A more refined version of PVWatts— 40 km Grid (aka Version 2) entered the picture in 2001. It allows U.S. users to zero in on their location by ZIP code, by street address, or by latitude and longitude coordinates. One gets most of the same information as with PVWatts version 1. While you can see where your house is on the satellite image, the data is intended for the entire 40-kilometer (25-mile) square that includes your street address. The downside is that hourly system output is not calculated.

Sifting through the release notes, a few things stand out to me. Since I'm easily annoyed by slow windowing operations (resize, move, etc.), I like the fact that the team has been doing work in that area to enable flicker-free resizing. They also updated the USB stack to Poseidon 4.2.
There are also a number of new features which seem to be coming from the work done on the MorphOS port to the Mac Mini (the G4 one, obviously). Read-only support for HFS+ formatted volumes has been added, and a utility called SHIFTCLICK has been added, which is described as a "Helper for Mac users with single-button mice". In other words, hold shift and click to get a right click. Come to think of it - iBooks and PowerBooks, anyone?
By the way, I'm happy to say that very soon, you'll be seeing a review of MorphOS here on OSNews, thanks to a very generous OSNews reader who has offered to loan me his Efika machine with MorphOS installed. Stay tuned!

text: Originally titled Fiddlefest, this feature-length documentary was nominated for an Oscar for Best Documentary Feature and became the basis for the motion picture Music of the Heart (1999). Filmmaker Allan Miller follows the story of Roberta Guaspari-Tzavaras, an East Harlem, NY, music instructor who devises a unique solution to the budget cutback that eliminates her job in 1990. She founds a non-profit organization, the Opus 118 Music Center, to teach violin to 150 students selected by random lottery. A demanding, sometimes tyrannical teacher, Guaspari-Tzavaras expects extreme levels of dedication and commitment from her charges, even pupils as young as five. The payoff is public acclaim when the students perform the "Star-Spangled Banner" before a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, then play at a Carnegie Hall benefit and meet with legendary musicians Isaac Stern and Itzhak Perlman. Produced at a time of vigorous national debate over arts funding in public schools, Small Wonders (1995) gained considerable attention for its topicality.

The Butterfly Effect - Whether you are a performer or a spectator, when you see this trick for the first time, you have just witnessed magic: Real magic!
It all happens in the spectator's hand. Any card is selected, and this card magically flips on top of the deck by itself. Finally, it rotates on top of it.
At this point, EVERYTHING can be examined.
You read that right! This is just a regular deck of card lying in the spectator's hand.
This effect can be performed seated at a table, standing up in front of the audience, in cocktail or table hopping conditions. The impact on the audience is beyond belief.
The performance is so easy to perform that you may instantly add this effect to your repertoire. It is up to you to take over the butterfly effect story to perform it as presented in the DVD, or simply reveal magically any selected card in the spectator's hand according to the effect you present such as an ambitious card or any signed card effect.
Do not pass on this one: this is your chance to perform magic, not tricks :)
Bounces - Based on the same principle, you are going to perform a "double" butterfly effect, on the table this time. Again, everything is examinable; you end up clean and reset, ready to perform as many times as you want.
- Very easy to perform. No sleight of hands required
- Works with any standard deck of cards
- The deck is shuffled by the spectators before and after the effect. You are "clean" at all time
- Comes complete with all the props necessary to perform the effect
- DVD is shot with multi angles, providing a hassle free explanation
- Recorded in French and English

High-performance Touring Car Rear Wing Set! Three wings come in each set (175mm, 185mm and 195mm widths), and all of the wings are made from 0.040" thick plastic for less aerodynamic distortion. Three sets of side plates are provided, one set for each wing, or they can be cut to different sizes for tuning purposes.
The shape of the wing is its most important feature. A "Gurney Flap" provides extra downforce. Racers can use the 175mm wing on large tracks, or the wider 195mm wing on tracks with tight infields. Each wing has marks for mounting to HPI bodies, and extra holes can be drilled to move the wing forward or back for more or less downforce. Mounting hardware is included.

If the rehearsal dress is any indication
Charlene Wittstock may or may not take off on Prince Albert of Monaco half way down the aisle today but she's not the bride who is trending on Twitter. That would be Kate Moss. Kate will marry Jamie Hince today in the Cotswolds. They'll have a proper ceremony at a church and then it's a massive party at her country house which some are calling Mosstock. I love this so much.
Anyway, Kate and Jamie went to wedding rehearsal yesterday and also posed for photographers. Security re: paps will be a lot tighter today as it's rumoured she's sold the rights to the wedding to US Vogue. And word is she will definitely be wearing Galliano with her maid of honour in Erdem (what a week for Erdem) and Sadie Frost, one of her best friends, in Christopher Beale. OF COURSE Anna Wintour wants to publish it. We're all dying to see it.
They throw around the words "Fashion Icon" much too liberally these days. If I were Kate Moss I'd be insulted to be labelled fashion icon alongside Victoria Beckham. It's totally not the same.
Look at Kate's gypsy dress here on Thursday. And the vintage boots. It's the whimsy and the imagination, purely unique and all Kate Moss. Right? I'm not saying YOU should hook that sh-t up and wear it out tonight to the party. I'm saying Kate has pretty much painted it straight up and down with her signature.
Am really charmed by how happy and excited she seems. And again, in spite of myself, I can't wait to see that dress.

House Call: Greg Natale's Moody Apartment
Name: Greg Natale
Location: Sydney, Australia
For a while now we've loved Greg Natale's work, using amazing patterns, products and colour, he produces some of Australia's most impressive interior design projects. In his own home Greg Natale's lack of both pattern and colour is a complete shock, yet results in an absolute climax of dramatic effect.
How would you define your style? We fuse interior architecture and decoration. We add a layer of opulence, colour and patten over minimalism, its similar to the Hollywood regency style with a cleaner harder Sydney edge. I call our work modernist at the end of the day.
What is your Inspiration for your home? My Italian background. My parents are immigrants and furnished the family home in the early eighties with kitsch baroque furniture and I hated it at the time! I was born in 1970, I have 4 older sisters and the 2 older ones were in their prime in the disco era so I am obsessed with studio 54, 70's shine and glam. Lastly contemporary design, like the work by Rodolfo Didini for Minotti.
What is your favorite element of your home? B + B vintage 1970's black mirrored coffee tables, they where brought at auction from the late first architects I did work experience for in grade 10.
What is the biggest challenge of your home? The fact is that I am my own hardest critic, so things where done 2 or 3 times until they were right and perfect. I also struggled as usually I have a client, so that makes it easier to design, so I used Tom Ford as my imaginary client and muse.
What do friends say about your home? They love it, they all thought it would be colourful and with a lot of pattern. I like to get unexpected responses about my work and it shows another side to our design style.
What was is your proudest DIY? I sealed the Basalt flooring my self!
What was the biggest indulgence with respect to your home? My $2000 fuax chinchilla bed spread
What is the best advice you've given or received? Don't paint the ceiling dark, I did and I had to repaint it white!
- Appliances: Smeg oven, gas range hood, dishwasher and range hood
- Hardware: Madinoz joinery d pulls and D Line door handles
- Furniture: Sofa- Moore by Rodolfo Dordini for Minotti, Baroque lounge chair- Italian vintage early eighties from the family home, Coffee tables- 1970's B+B vintage nest tables from the Auction of the late Dino Burratini, Side table- Still gold Rodolfo Dordini by Minotti, Credenza- Makassar Ebony high gloss custom made and White Knoll Sarrinan marble side tables from Dedece on Terrace
- Accessories: Timber bowl on dining table, Vintage Thai brought form a store on Robertson. L.A., Stelton trey on credenza, Blue Chinese porcelain drum for Mao and More, Eams solid wall nut stool and Bedside table lamps form Bloomingdales.
- Lighting: Architectural lighting by Kreon from Dedece and Murano chandelier from Precious lighting
- Paint: Dulux Grey Hearth, low sheen and flat white cielings
- Flooring: Tiles and Stone Italain Basalt honed on site 400x800 from RMS Marble
- Rugs and Carpets: Rug, mink look goat rug, Kadissia Rodolfo Dordini by Minotti and Grey carpet- Supertuft Wizard twist col Toto
- Window Treatments: Charcol fabric from Brunswig and fils
- Beds: Silver leaf with oaker high lights from Laura Kinkade made in Bressia Italy
- Artwork: Unsigned Marilyn by Andy Warhol and Scott Pietre abstract acrylic painting

Artist John Bielenberg, a co-founder of FUTURE, the San Francisco-based rapid innovation firm that takes a radical humanitarian approach to accelerating positive change, will present a lecture entitled, "When Wrong Is Right." His talk, on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 2:30 p.m. in the University of Hartford's Wilde Auditorium, is part of the Hartford Art School's Auerbach Lecture Series. This event is free and open to the public.
What Bielenberg does best is help companies and their people find the courage and the sense of humor to consider whole new, wrong ways of bringing their stories, ideas and innovations out into the world. Bielenberg feels so strongly about the value of thinking wrong that he created a program called Project M that is designed to inspire and educate young designers, writers, photographers and filmmakers by proving that their work—especially their wrongest thinking—can have a positive and significant impact on the world. Project M has developed projects to help a conservation area in Costa Rica, micro-financing in Ghana, New Orleans after Katrina, the community of East Baltimore, connecting households to fresh water in Hale County, Alabama, and addressing the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Alabama.
His talk is made possible by the Beatrice Fox Auerbach Foundation Fund and presented by the Visual Communication Design Department at the Hartford Art School.
Most recently, Bielenberg has partnered with Alex Bogusky and Rob Schuham to form COMMON, a new brand of capitalism that replaces competitive advantage with collaborative advantage. Bielenberg, Bogusky and Schuham believe that benefiting people, communities, society, the environment and future generations is the new advantage in business.
In his career, Bielenberg has won more than 250 design awards, was nominated for two National Design Awards from the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, served on the AIGA national board of directors, and teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has acquired six of his projects and staged a solo exhibition in 2000. In addition, Bielenberg was awarded the Skandalaris Award for Design Entrepreneurship from Washington University in St. Louis in 2009 and was granted an honorary doctorate degree from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2011.
For more information, contact Karen DeGrace, executive assistant to the dean of the Hartford Art School, at 860.768.4392, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Nick begs Gabi to tell him she loves him as he attacks her in the woods. She yells for him to stop and smashes his head with a rock. He's unconscious and she gets up panting. Kate walks up. "OMG Gabi. Is he dead?" Gabi sobs uncontrollably but Kate assures her it'll be okay. Sami arrives and gets a load of the scene. She checks Nick's pulse. He's dead. "OMG what am I going to do?" Gabi rails. "I'd say twenty to life," Sami snaps. Kate tells her not to call the cops. Sami has no reception anyway. Kate grabs her before she can run off and tells her about the very public fight at the square that everyone heard and says all this started when Gabi told Nick she wasn't taking the job in New York because of Sami's offer. Gabi sobs over Nick's dead body as Sami flashes to Nick's past blackmail dealings and guesses Nick got what he deserved. Kate orders Gabi to put the bloody rock in Nick's bag as she and Sami haul Nick's body to the river. Sami complains that she chipped a nail on the way. Gabi hears a noise and they hide the body as some man wanders by with binoculars. He's owl watching. Sami says, "That's funny. I wish I knew where I could find one." She looks behind her as Kate steps on her foot. Sami makes up some story about looking for some species and the man leaves. They return to get Nick but his body's missing. They panic until Kate notices they're at the wrong clearing. She finds him nearby. They drag his body to the Salem River and take everything from his pockets including his cell phone. Gabi reluctantly covers their tracks as they drag him around. Kate forces Gabi to throw the rock in the river and Gabi yells that this isn't right. They remind her they'll all go to prison if they don't do this so she goes along with it. Kate munches on candies as Sami asks Gabi to be tough. She can cry tomorrow. They push Nick into the water and he wakes up and grabs Sami. Screaming ensues.
Days Recap: Is He Dead?
Sami, Kate, and Gabi get the shock of their lives while disposing of Nick's body, Brady's tempted by alcohol, and Nicole tries interviewing Eric for work.
Caroline visits Victor at the Kiriakis mansion, spitting fire about how he hurt Eric by allowing the sex tape to be made public. He tries to defend himself as she crows about his cruelty. He realizes he has lost her. That may be true, she says and isn't sure how Maggie could bear to live with him. She realizes by his demeanor, Maggie left. "Good," she snipes.
Nicole's boss Miles meets with her at Club TBD to tell her that her first assignment is to interview Father Eric about his sex scandal. This will launch her comeback and bury the competition. She refuses to do a hatchet job on Eric but Miles only wants to allow Eric the chance to defend his reputation.
Marlena finds Eric in Horton Square, taking photos. He brushes her off until she tells him Roman's calling in favors to get a warrant for Kristen's personal papers which could assist in the search for the woman and confirm Eric's story. Eric is just trying to keep it together. He knows it'll take time before he's reinstated even if Kristen does return and tell the truth, but things will never be the same. Marlena says everyone gets tested and is sure he'll be fine. He feels he's being punished. Marlena is beside herself that he seems so lost.
Brady busts into the DiMera mansion and grabs EJ, demanding to know where Kristen is now, "Or I'll end you." Finally, Brady lets him go and Brady accuses EJ of knowing what Kristen did for months. EJ denies it. If he did, he'd be with her, comforting her and Sami would have left him by now. EJ tells Brady that his sister loved him. More than Brady loved her. He kicks Brady out.
Nicole finds Eric outside the Brady's Pub. They head inside and she pulls out a recording device and asks him to tell his story. Eric turns off the device and refuses to talk. He thought she had forgiven him and wanted to talk.
Brady walks into the Kiriakis mansion cursing EJ. He tells Victor about their argument. It's been a fun night for everyone, Victor says and leaves Brady alone with a drink. Brady stares at it. He takes a call from someone who claims to know where Kristen is.

RVDA of Canada Lobbying for RV Industry
April 16, 2013 by Justin Leighty - () Comments Off on RVDA of Canada Lobbying for RV Industry
The RVDA of Canada board met in Ottawa on Monday (April 15) advocating on several issues affecting the RV industry.
The board meeting was followed by the traditional reception with members of parliament (MPs) and other senior officers, local dealers and campground operators and Tourism Canada representatives.
Today, board members, dealers and campground operators will team up in pairs to meet a multitude of MPs, senior government officials and others on issues of concern to the RV industry. Typically, 40 such meetings are held.
Initiatives to be discussed include a dedicated investment in tourism policies to support the RV and campground industries as part of a comprehensive Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) framework. Recommendations by RVDA of Canada include:
- The CTC should include particular messaging to target markets where RV rentals are being offered in Canada. Promotion should gear towards a different way and a new experience to discover Canada.
- The government of Canada should provide targeted and dedicated investment in camping/RV infrastructure in Canada's National Parks. Investing in camping/RV infrastructure will play a critical role in the overall contributions of the tourism industry to future economic development and prosperity.
The TVDA of Canada will also address crossborder needs for the RV industry. Recommendations include:
- In order to ensure the safe operation and use of all RVs across Canada, countrywide certification — on an equal level playing field – must be implemented for all used imports for consumers, as well as retailers.
- Through this national standard, the inspection process will be conducted through a secure and legitimate source, ensuring consumer and dealer safety across the country. This measure would help alleviate improper safety checks conducted by non-licensed facilities, and avoid compromising the safety of Canadians.
- Duties on aftermarket RV parts and add-ons should be reduced to zero. Currently duties range between 7% and 18%.
Advocacy initiatives also include input on the federal budget. When the 2013 federal budget RVDA of Canada will issue an update to dealers on new or updated policies that could affect their business.

OT- MGoBloggers move the needle in Ohio license plate slogan campaign
So I was online reading up on a man who got run over at an intersection a half mile from my old stomping grounds, and I noticed a link regarding the results of the "Choose our license plate slogan" campaign Ohio put on recently. Here's some highlights of the article:
But some were downright mean and surely won't make the final cut, such as "Worst State Ever," "O-Lie-O" and 81 votes for phrases containing the word "sucks." You get the picture.
And then there is Ohio State. There were more than 2,000 votes for slogans mentioning the university, including "The Ohio State University," "Go Bucks," and "OH-IO," the chant often associated with the Columbus school. But about half of the OSU-related suggestions referenced the school's embarrassing recent NCAA scandal, including "Free tattoos." Terrelle Pryor, the former OSU quarterback who left the school in 2010 amid scandal, pulled in nearly 800 votes from fans or haters, many of whom cannot spell his first name -- there were seven different variations. And then there was Pryor's coach, Jim Tressel, who was booted from the school and subsequently punished by the NCAA over the same issue. Tressel received only 16 votes, far fewer than the football program's most popular coach ever, Woody Hayes, who reeled in 656 votes. Even Hayes' arch-nemesis, Bo Schembechler, former coach of That School Up North, got 225 votes. Go figure.
Great job everyone. Heres the link if anyone wishes to read further (athough theres really not much reason)

Rated 4 out of 5 by ANGELINMTOWN from THE WHITE IS NICE I JUST GOT THIS DRESS IN WHITE, AND BOY IS IT BRIGHT. THE WHITE COLOR LOOKS AMAZING ON THIS DRESS. THE MATERIAL TAKES SOME GETTING USED TO BECAUSE IT IS DIFFERENT WITH THIS DRESS. IT IS LONG AND STILL SEXY AND THAT IS VERY GOOD.

Rated 3 out of 5 by friskycarlisle77 from Dress runs quite big I purchased the dress online in blue and when I received it, the color was so rich and I loved it, but the dress size runs at least a half size bigger than what you would normally wear so I ordered the P/S and it's a bit big on me and doesn't hug the few curves I have and that's the smallest size so....... but I will make it work!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by BeBeGirl2013 from Different color Very dissapointed by the color. I ordered this dress online, size M/L and blue color. The color is absolutely different than on the picture. It is darker, close to purple or plum color. Otherwise nice dress. I usually wear size M, but this dress runs a bit bigger.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KateSE from Great price, great dress! I first bought this dress about a year ago, when it was released. They took it off the shelves--I'm glad it's back! Great price for a very well fitting, flattering dress. Wore it on a dinner cruise. Really nice wavy, ribbed texture to the dress--but the material isn't too thick or too thin.The ONLY downside of this is that it's very hard to wear a bra with. The back cut-out goes down too far and is too wide to wear any kind of normal bra with. However, I recommend just getting a low-back bra or doing the stick-on cups because this dress is wonderful.
