Finding the apartment that is right for you is critical, because once you move into it this apartment will become your home. So investing some time in looking at apartments is the first step. Start the process as soon as possible to give yourself plenty of time to see as many different units, neighborhoods, and styles of apartments as possible.
The more options you give yourself the better your chances of finding an ideal apartment will be. They will each have different features and amenities, for example, and those should all be considered when calculating the price of the apartment versus the benefits you get for paying that amount of monthly rent. If you want convenience in terms of proximity to work or school, thats an important feature. Maybe you enjoy going to the gym or playing tennis and in that case those developments or apartment complexes that provide recreational facilities like tennis courts and a workout room will appeal to you. Other renters want a great view and a private balcony, a playground for their children, or an apartment with excellent security and a guard station at the entrance.
Make a list of your priorities. Then call around and find out who offers what you want. Make appointments to visit the apartments that offer the kinds of features on your list and within your price range. After touring a few you will be better informed and can make a smart decision regarding which apartment is going to be your new home.

As long as you're adhering to the office dress code, does it really matter what you wear to work? If you're telecommuting, does it make a difference if you're wearing pants or pajamas? Maybe. Researchers have found increasing evidence that how we dress for work can actually affect how productive we are.
Want to make sure you're dressed for peak performance? Here are six strategies for building a wardrobe that will help you stay stylish and productive, no matter where you're working.
Can Your Pants Make You More Productive?
As long as you're adhering to the office dress code, does it really matter what you wear to work? If you're telecommuting, does it make a difference if you're wearing pants or pajamas? Maybe. Researchers have found increasing evidence that how we dress for work can actually affect how productive we are.
Want to make sure you're dressed for peak performance? Here are six strategies for building a wardrobe that will help you stay stylish and productive, no matter where you're working.
Streamline Your Style
For most of us, feeling "right" is more important than feeling fashionable, argues art and fashion historian Ann Hollander in her book, "Sex and Suits." In other words, the more we feel like we're dressed appropriately for a context and a particular audience, the more we're mentally at ease. One way to achieve mental comfort is to define what you wear in alignment with what's optimal in your workplace — and then stick with it. Less fidgeting and mental preoccupation about whether you're measuring up aesthetically clears the mind and allows you to focus on the task at hand.
The simplest way to do that: Create a professional persona for yourself and build a visual identity around it. Are you the ad agency urban sophisticate in all black? The classically elegant financial services professional? Or are you a bohemian entrepreneur in flowy silhouettes? It's great to think creatively about what you wear, but it's even better to consciously imagine your workplace-specific ideal look, then streamline and simplify on a daily basis — and leave the creative inspiration for your workflow. Some style options:
1. For the urban sophisticate: Tahari Lanette Sheath Dress, $138
2. For the classic professional: Club Monaco Tuxedo Pleat Silk Shirt, $149
3. For the bohemian entrepreneur: Wayf Long Sleeve Crepe Dress, $59
Create Visual Boundaries
Transitioning from home or "off-duty" mode into work mode is both a mental and physical shift — and one in which the physical guides the mental. If you are accustomed to working in an office and only working from home occasionally, it's important to maintain some consistency in dress, even at home. You may not want to put on your entire suit while in the comfort of your home, but slipping into something that reminds your body that it's still "at work" minimizes the risk of cleaning your kitchen when you should be focused on work-related tasks.
Creating a sartorial distinction between when it's time to work and when it's time to relax fosters greater focus and efficiency. Have one thing you always wear in work mode. Maybe it's professional footwear or a collared shirt — anything to nudge your brain into the productivity zone, no matter where you are.
One option: Rodin Shirt, $74
Turn Up the Heat
There's a perception that cool temps keep people alert, and many offices stay chilly in both summer and winter. But research shows that it pays to warm up: A Cornell study found that employees make 44 percent more mistakes when temperatures are low (68 degrees) than when they're at a more optimal room temperature (77 degrees). Why? Because being chilly distracts us. And distractions erode productivity.
Scarves are a particularly great way to warm up in the office and work equally well tied around the neck or draped across your shoulders to take off the chill.
One option: Anthropologie Dineke Scarf, $68
Get a Confidence Boost
Confidence in what you're doing encourages you to push harder to do good work and exceed expectations — whether it's a major client pitch or just a team project. So how can you boost everyday confidence with your clothes? Give yourself some lift. One study found that British women wear higher heels than their other European counterparts (3.3 inch average), and their footwear is linked to an increase in confidence and assertiveness. Not buying it? Try it for a day. Wear higher-than-usual heels for a day and see if your confidence — and your productivity — goes up with your stature.
One classic option: Banana Republic Tatum Pump, $128
Find Your "White Coat"
"Enclothed cognition" refers to the influence that clothing has on our psychological state and self-perception. A Northwestern University study that introduced the term concludes that wearing symbolically favorable garments, like a doctor's white coat, can actually increase attention span. What's the power-equivalent of a white coat in your industry? A blazer? Some statement jewelry? Identify it and slip into it as often as possible.
One option: Trouve Reversible Lapel Blazer, $98
For a statement piece, try something bold (but budget-friendly): Braided Jet Strands, $36
Casual vs. Formal? Pick the Style That Works for You
The data is mixed on whether casual or formal dress fosters greater productivity. A study conducted toward the beginning of the casual dress movement indicated that more relaxed dress leads to greater productivity. On the other hand, an amusingly named publication, "America's Going Down the Tube in a T-Shirt," revealed the results of a study that offered a laundry list of things that declined with the advent of more casual attire — including employee productivity. And another college study found that while "quality work performance" had not decreased since the relaxing of the campus dress code, "casual dress does not promote task efficiency."
So does a suit or jeans win the formal vs. casual battle? There's a point where personal preference, job title, and office culture trump formal studies — as long as what you're wearing won't distract you from the work you're doing.
Going casual? One option: J.Crew Vintage Cotton Tee, $24.50, in heather chrome
Prefer formal? You can keep this classic in your closet for years: J.Crew Pencil Skirt in Super 120s, $138

The new Rails All-In-One server template we just made public makes it really easy to get your own Rails application running on Amazon EC2. And it's all free to boot!
The server template is a collection of RightScripts that install Apache, mod_balancer, Mongrel, and MySQL, and a backup cron script all on one EC2 instance. All you need to do is to specify where your code is located and launch the whole thing! This all-in-one server template is excellent for a number of purposes: * kick the tires of Amazon EC2 – see your own app running and play around * launch a simple site – many small sites don't need more, the traffic load isn't high, and if the site is down a couple of hours every few months because of some problem with the instance then that's not the end of the world * do some development – if you need an extra dev server then this is yours cheap, whether for a few hours or for days * try something out – want to turn your app upside-down and see how it holds up, don't mess up your own server or laptop, instead launch-wreck-discard an EC2 instance as many times as you please
Make no mistake: this server template is neither a black box nor a toy! All the configurations are available for you to inspect and modify. You can clone the template and replace the pieces you want to design differently. You can also add additional functionality or even split the server in two and run the database on a separate instance for a better performance. This is not a canned set-up like most hosting shops provide: instead, it's a starting point that you can customize to your needs and wants. If you're set to grow and are looking into multiple servers, check out the site architectures we recommend.
We're readying a short how-to that takes you through launching your own Rails app using the server template step-by-step. In the meantime, you can also easily launch a demo server with Mephisto: it's the same template but we have adapted it to get Mephisto onto it.
OK, so how do you get started? Here are the steps:
Log into RightScale
Log into RightScale, or, if you don't have a RightScale account yet: * sign-up for a free account. * Go to your email inbox, look for the validation email, click on the link to get as couple of hours of EC2 time * Alternatively, if you have an EC2 account enter your credentials into RightScale (Settings > My Account > Credentials) and thereby get more features enabled * Create an SSH key, if you don't have one: Design > Ec2 > SSH key
Launch a server running Mephisto for you
Mephisto is a blog engine written in Rails and the server you are about to launch has a generic Rails set-up plus the Mephisto app so you can see something in action with the fewest steps. 1. Swing over to the Server Templates using the Design menu at the left and locate the Mephisto All-In-One v1 demo server template: * Before being able to launch it, you need to specify an SSH key (so you can SSH into the server) and a security group (corresponds to ingress firewall settings): click on the edit icon on the right * Select an SSH key and a security group, ignore all the other settings, and hit "save" at the bottom (yes, we're making this easier soon) * Now hit the "Launch" button at the top of the page and you see a page with all the settings you can change for this server template. Ignore most of them for now and put something (root@localhost will do) into the ADMIN_EMAIL field, which is empty. Then hit "Launch" again at the bottom. 1. Watch the instance that will run a demo app appear as "launched" in your Recent Tasks pane on the left: it will take 2-3 minutes to start booting, and then another 6-8 to install and configure all the software. 1. Sit back, relax and watch the server go through its boot process until it shows "operational" in the Recent Tasks pane. This may take 6-8 minutes. We're working on reducing the boot time: most of it is actually taken by the gem install commands! 1. Once your server is operational, you are ready to use your brand new server. Go to Manage > Active Servers and click on the server's DNS name (ec2-67-000-0-00.z-1.compute-1.amazonaws.com or similar), that should bring you straight to your own Mephisto instance! * Quick troubleshooting: if everything looks ready but all connections to your server simply time out make sure you have ports 22 (SSH) and 80 (HTTP) open in your security group setting: Design > EC2 > Security Groups, add IPs: "tcp 0.0.0.0/0 ports 22..22" and ""tcp 0.0.0.0/0 ports 80..80". 1. Start using the app. For example, edit the url by appending "/admin" and log in using the default Mephisto user/password (i.e., "admin" and "test"), hit "create new article", type "Hello World!", save, go back to the root URL of your server and voila! your first article in Mephisto on your server on EC2. Woot! 1. Remember that you have just launched servers that are inexpensive, but do cost money. You can check your active instances at Manage > Servers > Active Servers, and terminate any which you've finished testing.
So this canned Mephisto all-in-one template is a good example to get your feet wet in bringing up a complete rails up in EC2. But unless you actually need Mephisto, this doesn't get you that much. If you are a Rails developer you will want to bring up your own app…so stay tuned for our coming step-by-step guide to launching your own Rails "All-In-One" server using RightScale.

A Navy shipbuilder in Maine says it had to fumigate a warehouse and part of a warship because a shipment of parts from the West Coast contained about two-dozen venomous black widow spiders.
Bath Iron Works employees discovered the arachnids in a crate containing vertical launch system components. Spokesman Jim DeMartini said Tuesday the discovery led to the fumigation of several compartments in the USS Michael Murphy, a destroyer that's under construction. A warehouse in Brunswick also was fumigated.
DeMartini says the spiders were discovered earlier this month. The shipyard is confident exterminators eliminated any spiders that weren't stomped.
Black widows aren't found in Maine but are found in California, where the shipment originated. The females are known for their distinctive hourglass marking and their potentially lethal bite.
Bath Iron Works is owned by General Dynamics Corp.

VISTA, CALIFORNIA -- I am surprised by the number of threat letters AT&T send me without finding the time to investigate and answer my enormous correspondences, in which I repeatedly disputed the international call charges on my long distance bill!
The reason I dispute the bill was that AT&T has repeatedly and without my approval slammed my international carrier, Net One. The service with Net One, which I chose to be my sole International carrier, was established on July 3rd, 2006. My Net One Customer number was **. I was glad to use Net One as my International calls carrier because it was known that AT&T was the most expensive carrier when it comes to international calls .
On or about Aug. 30th, 2006 I contacted AT&T in an attempt to save money asking for a plan to reduce my long distance calls from 500 mins to 300 mins., which I assumed meant calls to other states within the USA, since I had previously established the international service with other carriers. It was never mentioned to me nor was I informed that AT&Ts LONG DISTANCE SERVICES meant and included INTERNATIONAL CALLS TO SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES, because as mentioned before I knew that AT&T apply the highest rates when it comes to international calls.
On or about Sept. 8th, 2006 I was advised by representatives of Net One that AT&T slammed their service to me. I re-established the service with Net One and my re-activation code was **. On Sept. 12 at or about 8:41 am I called AT&T and complained that I didnt authorize them to block Net One as my international carrier.
On Nov. 10 and after reviewing my AT&T September bill (AT&T has the tendency to send its bills later then the regular billing system of all other businesses, which usually send their bills by the end of the month), that was when I first realized that AT&T blocked Net One and set itself as the sole international and long distance carrier. I dont recall authorizing this. Applying common sense and logic, why would I want to replace Net One, which charges me 18.9 cents/minute with AT&T, which charges $4.20/minute!!!
I have been contacting AT&T ever since Nov. 10th, 2006 and received no answer to justify their actions nor to my request to resolve this matter by re-establishing my service with Net One back value and have them charge me for all the international calls or have AT&T apply the Net One rate to my international calls, since I never requested nor authorized them to terminate or slam the service with Net One. Instead I received a bill that I owe AT&T $1,616.35.
Unfortunately and up to this day, AT&T failed to answer in writing or any other form of communication except for sending me avalanche of threats. AT&T chose to sent threats and ultimatum rather than a professional, justified response.
Please notice that AT&Ts "CARRIER INFORMATION" section of the bill is vague, ambiguous and doesnt mention anything that indicates to any customer, acting in good faith, that it means international calls, when it comes to defining what they mean by Long Distance service. I do strongly believe that AT&T should have mentioned in their "CARRIER INFORMATION" section and in CAPITAL LETTERS THAT LONG DISTANCE CALLS MEANS AND INCLUDES INTERNATIONAL CALLS TO OTHER COUNTRIES, OTHER THAN THE USA.
Finally, To my dismay I received the attached letter for service I never requested. The funny thing is that it doesnt mention what kind of service it is. Please take the necessary action to investigate this matter together with the above mentioned dispute.
If I dont receive any answer within the coming 15 days, you leave me no choice but to consider all AT&T charges for international calls made during the period from Sept 1, 2006 to Nov. 11, 2006 as baseless and unjustified. I received no reply from AT&T but received lots of threats. I did contact FCC but again my complaints were totally ignored. Is there a way you guys can help us? Please let us know if any of the posted complaints was settled.
NEVADA -- So last month I received my AT&T long distance bill. We make about three long distance calls per month, always to DH's mom in Arizona. Initially, the bills would come every three months and cost about $21.00. Then I noted that they were coming every month, and cost about $25.00. Then last month my bill was $68.00. And I flipped. We still make only a few long distance calls per month, still only to his mom. Whence the MASSIVE increase? So on about May 1, 2007, I called AT&T and requested to cancel my long distance service.
After wading through the insipid "menu" I finally arrived in India where the "customer service" is located, and then spending 45 minutes speaking to someone who's English skills are less than stellar, I finally got her to agree to close my account on BOTH of my phone lines.
Today, I got a bill from... SURPRISE!!!... AT&T for service from May 11 through June 10 for the "AT&T Value Plan." And again I called India and spoke with "**." HE (**) initially told me he could not bring up my account. I asked for a supervisor, was put on hold for ten minutes, and then was hung up on. I called... India... again. This time I spoke with "**." "**" sounded an awful lot like "**" but he asked me for my phone number. I gave it, and he repeated it back to me incorrectly. I gave it again. He repeated it back to me again... incorrectly (but interestingly, did quote the correct name on the account.)
Now, remember, back on May 1 (or thereabouts) I canceled long distance on BOTH of my lines. "**" proceeded to tell me that the bill I received was for my second line, for which I still had service. "**" assures me he has canceled ALL my accounts and has credited me for the bogus "Value Plan." I'm not holding my breath.
Having now spent more than an hour of my time... in India... to cancel my USA based telephone service... again... I am livid. If AT&T has pulled this scam on me, how many millions of others are being subjected to the same scam? I have filed an FCC complaint, but: Is there a class action lawyer in the house?
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA -- We signed up for our local and long distance phone services through AT&T. At first, the rep on the phone was very nice and helpful - almost to a point where it was exaggeration. We took it for what it was worth and appreciated the service. So initially, we were happy and pleased with the overall experience. But doesn't every nightmare start that way?
Well, after they locked us into a contract the troubles began. Every single month, and I mean every single month, we receive our phone bill and it is generally $300 to $500 over what we signed the contract for. And let me tell you: our business is predictable in nature and there are no fluctuations in usage. So we know exactly how many calls we make and expect a certain dollar range for our bill. AT&T is probably the most crooked and horrible company out there. As they have partially monopolized and have major profits, they simply do not care to do the right thing.
So anyhow, we call in every month and supposedly speak to a "manager" who "understands the problem" and "would be upset too." Somehow, this "manager" every month for the last 12 months adjusts our bill and says there is a "glitch" in their system and that is why it does this. I usually ask the same question I have asked for 12 months now: WOW, with technology where it is today, AT&T can't fix this "glitch"??? Sadly, the response is usually a chuckle.
So after the adjustment occurs, the "manager" usually asks if we want her/his email address. Initially, we actually asked for it. The next month, when we would receive our outlandish bill, we would try emailing that address and nothing. No response. So after about the 3rd month, we knew it was bogus and just a way to try to pacify us when getting off the phone.
In short, I would never ever recommend AT&T. They are horrible, and should be sued. I was actually considering paying the amount they bill us, and having our attorney go after them after months of raking up excessive fees. Do not use AT&T. IF you have other options, explore them. AT&T is nothing short of garbage and corporate scum. Best wishes.
CALIFORNIA -- I never used AT&T services, none. Last month on my SBC (PacBell) bill I found a charge of $8.40 in AT&T behalf as a monthly fee and a billing fee and some taxes, no calls specified. I called the 1 800 number for customer service for clarification. Asking about the charge justifications I was bombarded with inquiries about my phone lines, my call habits, and all sorts of personal information that had nothing to do with the issue. I insisted to get my answers and all I hear is offers to switch my long distance to them and other offers without any result to my issue. I had to call again for 3 times when I start to become impatient. I was transferred to "Billing" where I was treated even worse.
When I asked for supervisor I was told "I get no supervisor". After half of an hour of negotiations I got a statement that the charge will be "refunded" without any reasonable explanation. What I see here is the new AT&T (tele) marketing scheme: "If the law prohibits us to call the consumer we will make the consumer to call us..."
Think millions of these cases! This is an issue I will take it to FCC. HEY PICK POCKETS, WATCH OUT FOR AT&T COMPETITION.
REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA -- I have been an AT&T customer for years. I happened to make a call to Canada from my landline. When I got the bill they had charged me $1.35 per minute. The same call on their cell phone would have been 19 cents per minute. My new carrier charges 5 cents per minute. Their response was to say that I hadn't signed up with some special Canadian feature that I didn't know about. This is a rip off. The rate they charged is not just high, but over 25 times as much as I pay now. Also, they were completely unsympathetic and not customer-friendly.
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA -- I find it amazing that a company the size of AT&T has to process payments manually in order for them to be correct.
Every time a change is made to an account, i.e., name change (due to their misspelling), plan change, etc., AT&T updates a 4 digit code located at the end of the phone number. We were never notified that this code was changing. We submitted our payments through bill-pay using our phone number as the account number and the payments were never applied.
AT&T disconnected our lines even though they had our money. I received a bill to reconnect the lines the same day I received a refund check from them. I received a bill from them today and called them about it and when I verified the 4 digit code on the bill behind my number it was wrong. Their advice was to always mail them a check with the payment stub included.
BEECHISLAND, VERMONT -- Talk to AT&T representative approx. 7/18/07 About services. Was given unlimited long distance/local/DSL internet for $67.31. Services will be connected 7/26/07. I was under the impression this was done until a bill come in for $106.06. I called 8/21/07 about this matter, was told there was nothing she could do however she gave me another rate $76.86. At this point I was so upset, I just settled for this. The next day I called back about a question on reward points and decided to check on my account. I am back to the old story that rate was not recorded. At this point my opinion of AT&T/Bellsouth is not good.
I was enrolled in a long distance service provided by AT&T, where I was billed for long distance service, paying only for time spent calling long distance. However, when I received my last bill, charging me $24.00 a month, just for access to (NOT TIME USED) long distance I immediately cancelled this service and I am advising everyone else to do the same. As it is cheaper and more convenient to use a cell phone. I always kept a credit on my account. This is cause for a class action lawsuit. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN A CLASS ACTION. WILL POST INFO LATER.
WEBSTER, TEXAS -- I dropped this company three years ago. I moved and changed my phone number as well since then. They still send me bills and statements, from My Old phone number at my new address - Still haven't figured that one out. I have called them, e-mailed them and written them - Still the bills continue. Every time I try to do things, even with my credit, I get questioned as to why I tell them One phone number, yet with At&t I still am listed with my old phone number: **. I no longer have this number and it seems they never assigned it to anyone else because they are still billing me for long distance. Talk about Bad record keeping, this stupid company takes the Cake.

(Reuters) - Network equipment maker Netgear Inc forecast current-quarter revenue below analysts' estimates as telecom service providers cut spending, sending its shares down 7.5 percent after the bell.
The company forecast revenue of $290 million to $305 million for the first quarter. Analysts on average were looking for $317.6 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Netgear, which bought a part of Canadian wireless communication equipment maker Sierra Wireless Inc's mobile broadband business for $100 million last month, said it expected the first half of 2013 to be tempered by reduced spending from service providers.
The company's net income fell to $16.1 million, or 41 cents per share, in the fourth quarter, from $22.8 million, or 60 cents per share, a year earlier. Excluding items, the company earned 55 cents per share.
Revenue rose marginally to $310.4 million.
Analysts had expected earnings 54 cents per share on revenue of $307.6 million.
Shares of the San Jose, California-based company closed at $36.50 on the Nasdaq on Tuesday.

Visual Learning: It's in the Bag
Images, photos, and pictures stimulate the mind. For the viewer, they offer a chance to connect and question. They also offer potential for play and imagination, and pulling the observer into purposeful messages.
Most often, newspaper and magazine readers take a quick glance at photos and their captions. With this YES! lesson plan, you and your students can luxuriate—and pause—to truly understand an image, its message, and why it's interesting (or not).
Download this lesson plan as a PDF
It's in the Bag
Step One: What do you notice? (before the facts)
Ask your students to make sense of the photograph by trusting their instincts of observation and inference. In doing so, the photograph offers possibilities and interpretations beyond a typical reading where the reader glances at the picture to reinforce their interpretation of the picture's title or caption. Do not introduce any facts, captions, or other written words outside of the image. You may hear: fluffy costumes, columns and big windows, group of people.
Step Two: What are you wondering? (thinking about the facts)
After you've heard what your students are noticing, you'll probably hear the peppering of questions: Why are the three men wearing weird costumes? What are the costumes made out of? Is this a hotel lobby? This is a good time to reveal the photo's caption, accompanying quote, and facts about the actual situation. Watch how the conversation shifts from what they believe to be true to discerning the facts about the photo.
- Photo caption:
Ban the Bag PDX Plastic Bag Monsters attend a Portland, OR City Council meeting to testify about plastic bag pollution and call for a plastic bag ban in the city.
- Photo facts:
The Bag Monster is a shocking visual representation of the average amount of plastic bags a single shopper uses in a year. Each bag monster wears 500 plastic shopping bags. Advocates for plastic bag reduction dress as bag monsters to demonstrate the impact of individual shoppers and attend parades, hearings, and public events to encourage plastic bag bans on city and state levels.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. goes through 100 billion plastic shopping bags annually, with an estimated cost to retailers of $4 billion.
Plastic bags, bottles, and other consumer products from land comprise 80 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and have been cited as the cause of deadly floods in Bangladesh and Mumbai. This patch represents a convergence zone stretching thousands of miles across the North Pacific Ocean, between the United States and Japan. Estimated weight of this plastic mass is 100 million tons.
The amount of petroleum used to make a plastic bag would drive a car approximately 11 meters.
Plastic is a material that is created to last permanently, yet is often used just once. Only one to three percent of plastic bags are recycled worldwide.
Plastic bags are not biodegradable; they actually photodegrade.This means plastic bags break down into small toxic bits, contaminating soil and waterways, and are ingested by fish—which people eat. Approximately 2.5 billion people around the world rely on fish for at least 20 percent of their animal protein.

EXPLORE: TEDTalk—Charles Moore on the Seas of Plastic
Step Three: What next? (jumping off the facts)
1. Plastic bags are a convenient part of many people's daily lives. What are viable alternatives to plastic bags? Why do we use plastic bags when there are other options?
2. The best answer to the question, "Paper or plastic?" would be "Please put it in this cloth bag I brought with me." Do you think this is a realistic option for your family? For most people? What would it take to change your and your family's habits?
3. Plastic bag banners have had lots of opposition at the state level and have started advocating for citywide bans instead. Why are activists usually more successful on a city level? What are the arguments against banning plastic bags? Do you think these arguments are valid?
4. Advocates and opponents of a plastic bag ban use all sorts of statistics to make their case to elected officials and to the public. Opponents claim that pro-ban supporters are deciding with their emotions, not the facts. Do you agree? When you make a decision, what carries more weight—statistics and facts, or emotions and beliefs?

Is the seminary rector responsible for the future abuser? UPDATE
UPDATE: Kicanas goes down to NYC's Timothy Dolan, more in the mold of Cardinal George. His connection to McCormack--and Bernardin, I think--hurt him. This is a blow to what is left of the "moderates" in the USCCB. It is also a sign of the power of the conservative Catholic blogosphere, who organized an 11th-hour lobby to defeat Kicanas.
Let me be the Johnny-come-lately to the controversy over the likely election of Gerald Kicanas of Tucson as the next president of the USCCB. The Legion of Christ-published National Catholic Register has a blog post questioning whether, because of his involvement with the notorious case of Daniel McCormack in Chicago, he should be the conference president. Kicanas was rector at Mundelein Seminary when McCormack was a student there, during which time McCormack confessed sexual contact during college (he went to a college seminary) with two other students. (Grant Gallicho at dotCommonweal has a better summary than I could provide.)
Kicanas gave a pretty lengthy response to National Catholic Register's post and he comes offs soundingpretty reasonable. One allegation, that McCormack patted someone's rear end "over clothing" is kind of random. Even the sex with a fellow college student—which McCormack himself confessed according to Kicanas—isn't an indicator of a predator. And in Kicanas' defense, he did send McCormack for evaluation about both his alcohol use and his ability to be celibate.
At the same time, it seems to me the story here is that no one believes the bishops themselves have suffered for their failures. So people are quick to point out any point of contact between a bishop and an abuser. Cardinal George is the most recent and most obvious, and he was certainly the one with egg on his face in the McCormack situation. Very few, however, lobbied against his election as conference president. Indeed, he was elected as conference president within 18 months of the McCormack situation going down.
Victim/survivors and their advocates are right to point out that few bishops have suffered any consequences for their at times utter and complete failtures; the McCormack case is particularly harrowing; the local NPR affilitate did a story this morning that is problematic in some respects, but I link to it here so that the horror of what McCormack's victims suffered doesn't become a footnote. I think it possible that they've got the wrong guy in this case; indeed, I think Kicanas may be more an advocate on this matter than George has been.

Dave D'Onofrio's Sox Beat: 2014 edition of Red Sox remains a work in progressDAVE D'ONOFRIO
January 25. 2014 10:39PM
A morning after his slice of immortality had been clinched, Ben Cherington went to work. They'd barely finished clearing the corks from the clubhouse floor, the parade was not yet planned, and the rest of Boston blearily awoke with the happiest of hangovers - but there was little time for the Red Sox general manager to bask in the bliss of a World Series championship, because baseball was on the brink of its winter.
"Free agency started the next morning," the Meriden native told the crowd during a town hall-style event at Northeastern University last Wednesday - the same night the signing of veteran outfielder Grady Sizemore offered a reminder that 12 weeks later free agency is still ongoing. And that Cherington's work still isn't done.
Now 25 days from the first full-squad workout of spring training, the Red Sox still have plenty to do and determine from a personnel perspective before they're ready to begin their title defense on the final day of March, even if Cherington is being genuine when he says he's comfortable opening the season with his roster as currently constituted. Nothing is make or break, necessarily, and certainly the club could - and should - remain competitive if the work lingers into April, but the questions touch on enough areas of the club that the sooner they're answered the better situated the Sox will be. That considered, here's one take on how the team may prioritize a lineup full of lingering personnel tasks as January nears its end:
1. Sizemore or Bradley?
With Jacoby Ellsbury having defected to the Yankees, the Sox need a center fielder - though there are significant questions about both of their current candidates. Sizemore hasn't played in the majors (or minors) since 2011, so on top of the health concerns it remains to be seen whether he can still play. Jackie Bradley, meanwhile, didn't appear especially big-league ready while hitting .189 in 37 major-league games last season. Not-yet-24, the Sox likely want Bradley to play everyday somewhere, and because both players bat left-handed, it's unlikely they'd split duties, so it'll likely be up to Sizemore to win the job by proving himself in spring training.
2. Monitor the pitching market.
The Sox still have six proven big-league starting pitchers, all of whom, honestly have tradable contracts, so Cherington should be keeping an eye on the market to see which clubs need pitching after the final free agents find homes and injuries start to arise in camp. Ryan Dempster is the most logical to be moved, though Jake Peavy and John Lackey are hardly untouchable, and Felix Doubront might fetch the most in return because of his age (26) and throwing arm (left). It's never a bad thing to have too much pitching, but given the almost-ready options in the farm system, the Sox could afford to part with a veteran.
3. Extend Jon Lester.
It's not likely to impact their win-loss record this season, but if the Red Sox have determined that they want Jon Lester to be a major part of their future - and based on last October, who could argue? - they should make an effort to reach agreement on a contract extension before the start of the season. On top of eliminating a potential distraction, another motivation could be this: If the Sox sign him before the year, they could possibly start the extension right away, and tear up this final year of the lefty's old deal. Then a, say, five-year commitment only last through Lester's age 34 season; the pitcher makes more short-term than he would have; and maybe that improves the opportunity for a both-sides-win hometown discount.
4. Deepen the left side.
At this point, the left side of the Sox infield is Xander Bogaerts at shortstop and Will Middlebrooks at third base, with Jonathan Herrera backing up both positions. The ceiling is high with that setup, but there are also likely to be some growing pains given the rawness of the two players. If the opportunity presents itself as roster cuts near elsewhere, the Sox could look to fortify those spots by adding established depth via trade.
5. Find roles for the young arms.
Brandon Workman and Drake Britton both pitched important innings out of the bullpen late last season after working almost exclusively as starters on their ascension through the minors. Cherington has said they'll report to Fort Myers as starting pitchers, but both could just as well wind up as counted-upon relievers as farm-league starters, and the sooner Sox brass can make that determination the sooner the rest of the roster will take shape.
6. Assess the bench.
Boston's bench was a strength last season, and with some combination of Daniel Nava, Mike Carp, Jonny Gomes and maybe Sizemore available on most nights, it could be again this season. However, there's a lot of redundancy in that group, so there might be more value in trading someone from that group to fill another need (such as a right-handed hitter). Carp would be the most likely to go.
7. Who leads off?
Another byproduct of Ellsbury's exit is the lack of a leadoff man. Dustin Pedroia has done it, and did it when Ellsbury was hurt last September. Sizemore, Nava and Shane Victorino have filled the role, as well, in the past. It's not a major concern, but last season the Sox seemed to benefit from stability at the top of the order - spots 1-4 all had one batter penciled in the same place for at least 107 games - so John Farrell may be inclined to identify his solution early.
8. Figure out Lavarnway.
The presence of A.J. Pierzynski and David Ross would seem to preclude Ryan Lavarnway from a role as a Red Sox catcher this season. Christian Vazquez was added to the 40-man roster after reaching Triple-A late last season and, at 23, will be there this year. If Lavarnway has any value left at age 26, the Sox may want to cash out now instead of clogging the pipeline by sending him for a fourth-year at Pawtucket.
9. Contemplate a blockbuster.
Boston has organizational depth at catcher, in the infield, and - most importantly - among starting pitchers who will soon be knocking on the big-league door. With that combination, with money, and with some holes still to fill, the ingredients are all there if the Sox want to make a blockbuster trade. So don't be surprised if, three months after the work began, Cherington's biggest move is still to come.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed to a six-year contract extension with All-Star infielder Matt Carpenter that will keep Carpenter in a Cardinals uniform through at least the 2019 season. The new pact also includes a club option for 2020. Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement that insures Matt will remain a Cardinal on a long-term basis," said Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt, Jr. "He is an All-Star caliber player, and an integral part of the nucleus of this club which we feel can continue to contend for championships in 2014 and beyond."
Carpenter, 28, took over as the Cardinals regular second baseman and lead-off man last season, and in addition to being selected for the 2013 All-Star team by his peers, he was honored with theLouisville Slugger Silver Slugger Award as voted on by National League managers and coaches and finished fourth in the N.L.'s Most Valuable Player voting. His .318 batting average ranked 5th among all National League players, while he led the majors in runs scored (126), hits (199), doubles (55) and multi-hit games (63). His 55 doubles were the most ever by a Cardinals second baseman and set the franchise record for a left-handed batter, breaking Stan Musial's mark of 53 in 1953.
"Matt has inserted himself as a leader in the Cardinals clubhouse with his dedication and work ethic serving as a fine example to everyone," stated Cardinals Senior Vice President/ General ManagerJohn Mozeliak. "His commitment to switching to a new position last season (second base), resulting in an All-Star season and Silver Slugger Award, proved once again what kind of person and player that Matt is."
Carpenter hit .388 with runners in scoring position last season and his 69 RBI from the lead-off position were the most by a Cardinals #1 batter since Lou Brock had 76 in 1967. Of his league-best 199 hits, 112 came at home, establishing a Busch Stadium III single-season hits record.
Carpenter was a 13th round selection by St. Louis in the June 2009 free-agent draft out of Texas Christian University. The Prosper, Texas native climbed quickly through the Cardinals minor league system, making his Major League debut on June 4, 2011 at Wrigley Field. He batted .294 in 2012 over 114 games, showing his versatility by filling in at first, second and third base as well as the outfield.
Carpenter joins Allen Craig, Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina among the team's star players who have signed recent contract extensions that carry thru 2017 or beyond.

The Obama administration is considering an early shift in the U.S. military role in Afghanistan from primarily combat to mainly advisory and training duties, even as it struggles to create the beginnings of a political settlement of the war, a senior U.S. official said late Wednesday.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because no decisions had been made on speeding up a change in the military's mission, said that details of the possible new U.S. approach had not been settled and that other options may be under consideration.
If the faster transition from combat to primarily advising Afghan forces is adopted it would mean a reduction in American combat duties sooner than the administration had planned. But it would not mean an early end to the war, which began in October 2001 in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and became stalemated in the years before President Barack Obama took office.
The war has grown increasingly unpopular at home, and Obama is gearing up for a re-election campaign in which he is expected to emphasis his ending of the Iraq war this year and his efforts to wind down combat in Afghanistan by 2014.
In December 2009 Obama announced he was sending an additional 33,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan in a bid to change the course of the war. The U.S. and its NATO partners agreed in Lisbon one year ago that coalition forces would complete their combat mission by Dec. 31, 2014, with the understanding that advising and training Afghan forces would gradually become a more dominant part of the mission, particularly after the U.S. completes the withdrawal of 33,000 "surge" troops by September 2012.
The U.S. now has about 98,000 troops in Afghanistan and is scheduled to pull out 10,000 by the end of the year. That is part of a broader strategy designed to give the Afghans a bigger role in providing for their own security, with a goal of having the Afghans entirely in the lead _ not just in security but also in other areas of governance _ by the end of 2014.
The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report that a mission change was under White House consideration, said agreement on a shift to a U.S. military advisory role could come as early as next May, when Obama and other leaders of the 28-nation North Atlantic Treaty Organization are scheduled to meet in Chicago.

When Odd Future first emerged, everything the L.A. hip-hop collective did seemed perfectly engineered to grab attention.
The group's bravado and distorted visual aesthetic excited rap fans looking for change, while its members' shocking lyrics became a lightning rod for controversy. But when the attention came, Odd Future mostly ignored it, doubling down on an underlying conviction in their own talent and unique sensibility. They adopted a punk band and a jazz group as their closest associates, started a sketch comedy TV show and put out a series of inwardly focused albums that, while generally solid, had little effect on the hiphop mainstream.
On ringleader Tyler, the Creator's second proper album, "Wolf," this insularity is even stronger. There's nothing as immediately arresting as the songs like "Yonkers" and "French" that helped build the rapper's hype to a fever pitch. The guests are limited to a few idols— Erykah Badu, Pharrell, Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier—and frequent Odd Future collaborators. People unfamiliar with the group's lore might need a glossary to understand many of the lyrical references, and even those in the know may have trouble following the album's loose plot and web of characters.
If Tyler's past music reflected confrontational rappers like Eminem, the best analogues here are artists like MF DOOM, Kool Keith and Wu-Tang Clan, who complement dense lyrics with elaborately constructed mythologies. Like those artists, Tyler's tightly written raps reward close attention and total immersion. Highlights like "Answer" and"Lone" are nuanced takes on tough feelings, while tracks like "Rusty" and "Slater" are good, straightforward rap songs. Tyler's jarring, minor-key production has improved too.
Like "Goblin," Tyler's debut, "Wolf" can drag and feel overly moody. Although the most vulgar elements generally are gone, it probably will do little for fans who aren't already committed to Tyler's schtick. But his well-crafted, self-contained world is something worth celebrating because it delivers on one of Odd Future's central promises that got lost amid that initial flurry of hype: It's committed to its own weirdness—and not just for the attention.

LONDON (AP) — A year after Britain's golden Olympic summer, the country is basking in yet another run of global sports success.
Whether it's cycling, tennis, golf, rugby or cricket, athletes and teams from Britain or England have made this another summer to savor — just as the nation prepares to mark the anniversary of the London Games this week.
"There'll never be another summer of sport like 2012, but 2013 is having a damn good try," The Times of London said Monday in a wraparound supplement heralding Britain's latest triumph — Chris Froome's win in the Tour de France.
The sports surge started a year ago when Bradley Wiggins became the first British rider to win the Tour. Then came the London Games, where the host nation raked in 29 gold medals and 65 overall to finish third in the standings and piled up another 120 medals at the Paralympics.
With British sports seeming to feed off the momentum of 2012, the last few months have brought a flurry of new achievements:
—Justin Rose became the first English golfer to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
—Andy Murray won Wimbledon, finally ending Britain's quest for its first men's champion at the All England Club since Fred Perry in 1936. Murray also won the U.S. Open in September.
—The British & Irish Lions won their first rugby test series against Australia in 16 years.
—England has won the first two tests of the Ashes cricket series against Australia.
"The run of British success at sport did not begin at the Olympic Games, but it certainly hasn't ended there," The Times said. "The knock-on effect of those games keeps on knocking on."
Sunday had offered British fans the tantalizing possibility of an improbable trifecta: victories in the Tour de France, the Ashes test and the British Open golf championship. It was close, but not to be.
Froome crossed the finish line on the Champs-Elysees in Paris with the yellow jersey as Britain's second consecutive Tour de France champion. England crushed Australia by 347 runs at Lord's to take a 2-0 lead in the five-test series. But England's Lee Westwood, who started the final round of the British Open at Muirfield with a two-shot lead, couldn't hold up his end of the bargain. He faded down the stretch as Phil Mickelson claimed the claret jug.
"Two out of three ain't bad," said Monday's headline in The Independent. "A tour de force for British sport."
British bookmakers are jumping on the bandwagon: Ladbrokes offers odds of 50-1 that England will sweep the Ashes series 5-0, Murray will successfully defend his U.S. Open title and a British golfer will win the PGA Championship.
It hasn't all been rosy, though, particularly in England's favorite sport of soccer. England was humiliated at the Under-21 European Championship in Israel, failing to win a single game. The national women's team fared no better, eliminated from the European Championship without a win and losing 3-0 to France in its final group match.
The England men's team lies second behind Montenegro in its qualifying group for next year's World Cup in Brazil. While England is likely to qualify, it is not considered a top contender for a title it has won only once — at home in 1966. And if there is one championship that England covets above all others, it is the World Cup.
Yet, overall, there is a sense that Britain is flying high and the image of the lovable loser is over.
"There is now a greater confidence in British sport," said Sebastian Coe, the former middle-distance champion who led London's Olympic organizing committee. "Team GB showed other sports that Brits can be winners. Just look at what has happened this summer."
The challenge, he said, is to keep the success going.
"We have to get out of the mindset that we are forever grabbing victories out of the jaws of defeat," Coe said in The Independent on Sunday. "We are not any more. So we must lose this habit of thinking, 'Oh, my god, we've waited 77 years for Murray to win Wimbledon and we'll have to wait another 77 years for another to come along.' It would be a national disaster if we wait another 10 years to get another player in the top 10."
One of the keys to Britain's upsurge has been money. Funding from the national lottery has poured tens of millions of dollars into elite sports programs. Sports science has also played a part. Cycling, in particular, has used high-tech training methods to turn Britain into a power on the track and on the road.
"If you have ... four things — the talented athletes, the coaches, the structure, and the money — you have a very much better chance of success," British Sports Minister Hugh Robertson told Sky TV in Paris, where he attended the finish of the Tour de France.
The burst of pride comes before a series of events marking the Olympic anniversary. A Diamond League track and field meet — featuring the return of Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt and British gold medalists Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis — will be held at the Olympic Stadium on Friday and Saturday, the first competition at the flagship venue since the games.
Britain hopes to recreate some of the magic of a year ago, but is determined to make sure the much talked about "legacy" is not short lived.
"You can't make a snap judgment on the 27th of July this year," Robertson said. "It's going to be a three-, a five- or possibly a 10-year judgment. The building blocks are very good. I would never for a moment pretend that it is a job done or even half done. There's an awful lot of work to do."
Overshadowing the sporting euphoria Monday was news that Kate, the wife of Prince William, had gone into labor. But the bookies could even find a sports angle in the royal baby stakes.
"As for our future king or queen, it's a 5,000-1 shot they play professional football, cricket or rugby for England," Ladbrokes said. "It's only 100-1 that the heir to the throne participates for Britain at any future Olympic Games."

For any sports fan, getting the opportunity to play for your hometown team or college would be a dream come true. For Kansas State volleyball player Tristan McCarty, she made that dream a reality and has never looked back.
"I have been a K-State fan for most of my life, since I was little and knew what sports were basically," McCarty said. "Sports were a huge part of my life when I was younger and once it became a more realistic opportunity, I made sure to capitalize on it and worked my butt off to make sure it happened."
McCarty grew up in Manhattan, Kan. The junior defensive specialist was not only a standout in the classroom; she was a standout on the volleyball court. She earned First Team All-State honors as a senior, while guiding the Lady Indians to two sub-state titles and one sub-state runner-up, all while graduating with a 4.0 GPA. While McCarty received several scholarships coming out of high school, it was an easy decision for her.
"I had some other offers, but K-State was my main one and I wanted to make sure that was where I ended up."
The hometown girl that once represented her community so proudly was now taking that one step further.
Head coach Suzie Fritz was very happy that McCarty chose to play for her and continue her playing career in Manhattan.
"It has remained a significant priority for us that if there are great players in the state of Kansas, we want them to be playing at K-State," Fritz said.
McCarty graduated high school early and enrolled in the spring semester at K-State. She wanted to get with her teammates as soon as possible and start to build the chemistry needed to become great. Fritz acknowledged that this was a big reason why McCarty has been so successful in her career.
"What would have been the spring semester of her senior year of high school, she was with us already playing, practicing and training," Fritz said.
The opportunity to play in front of friends and family members was just an extra benefit for McCarty. She was now attending a school that she loved and was part of a program that she truly respected, and it was all happening in her hometown.
Growing up in Manhattan, McCarty knew what it meant to be a Wildcat. She understood the history and aura that surrounded the university. That history also includes a rivalry with a school east of Manhattan in a town called Lawrence. The rivalry between K-State and Kansas is a bitter one and after watching many great battles between the two schools, McCarty was going to leave her mark in the Sunflower Showdown.
"The K-State and KU rivalry is pretty big so you hear about it growing up," McCarty said. "You always watch those big games on TV and now to be in that position where I am on TV and friends and family can watch me is just great."
McCarty has seen significant playing time since putting on her No.4 jersey. As a freshman, she played in all but one set while setting a season high in digs in a match against the Jayhawks. As a sophomore, she continued to make strides and helped the Wildcats earn a trip to the Sweet 16. This year, K-State is off to one of its best starts in school history with McCarty being an instrumental part of it.
Fritz has seen the improvements and strides that McCarty has made.
"The thing about her from the very minute she walked through the door is the way Tristan works. It allows her to make improvements that maybe some other players cannot make because she is extremely meticulous about her technique," Fritz said. "She is a perfectionist and exceptionally mindful about the way she works."
Consistency is one thing that Fritz has seen from McCarty.
"She has always had that ability to do things well, but what we see now is that she can do those things well over time," the coach said.
McCarty, too, has seen some improvements since day one of making the transition to K-State's system.
"My passing, serving and my defensive capabilities have all seen improvements," McCarty said. "Basically when you come in, you are not good, and you are suppose to get worse before you get better, that way you are in their system and doing things the right way."
McCarty enjoys her time at K-State. While not every second of every day is perfect, she points out that at some point throughout each day, she recognizes how happy she is to be there.
One piece of advice that was given to McCarty by Fritz has given her the motivation to continue working hard day-in and day-out.
"Get comfortable being uncomfortable," McCarty said. "It is great advice because it relates to anything in life; you are never going to have everything given to you on a silver platter, so you might as well get comfortable dealing with the unknown and the uncertainties of life. Once adversity is thrown your way, you better be able to strap-on and prepare for it yourself."
While McCarty could have chosen to go to another school and play for some other program, she decided that she wanted to make her impact in her hometown. She can experience the college life, but still have that hometown feel, because well, she is at home and there is no other place like it.

Over the past decade 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standards have sold from $50,000 for hard-worn examples to over $1-million for Peter Green's and Gary Moore's legendary Holy Grail — the guitar Green used on Fleetwood Mac's early albums and that Moore also put to the test repeatedly during his fruitful career. Models from 1958 and 1960 don't sell for the same staggering amounts at auction, even though Clapton's legendary Bluesbreakers Les Paul was a '60. And sonically not every '59 channels the voice of God, since manufacturing procedures were less precise and consistent during the '50 and '60s.
Nonetheless, they have a magical aura that's highlighted by dollar signs.
Perhaps the main reason for their charismatic appeal is that some of the greatest recordings of the rock 'n' roll era, by some of the world's finest guitarists, have been made with '59 Les Pauls. And for fans and aspiring and established players, that association creates a mystique for the '59 Les Paul that few — perhaps no other — instruments possess aside from Stradivarius violins, violas and cellos. Examples of classic '59 Les Pauls abound, and often the effect of these recordings is so profound that the instruments employed on them have taken on a personality, reinforced by their being given names — sometime by their keepers and sometimes by their admirers. There's Billy Gibbon's "Miss Pearly Gates," Jimmy Page's "Number 1" and "Number 2," Don Felder's "Hotel California," the aforementioned "Holy Grail" and Steve Lukather's "Rosanna Burst," just to name a few.
The Gibson Les Paul has evolved steadily since its introduction in 1952, yet in 1959 everything converged to make a truly outstanding and timeless instrument — the other key factor in the '59's star appeal. The mid-'50s saw the replacement of the trapeze tailpiece with the Tune-0-matic bridge and the stop-bar tailpiece. And in 1957 humbuckers replaced P-90 pickups as standard equipment. In 1958 the next step toward the model's historic pinnacle occurred when the Gold Top became available in sunburst and thus the famed &ldquot;'Burst" was born. The fine curly maple tops on these instruments also provided more eye-appeal than the gold finish, and that continues to be part of the literally natural charm of all sunburst finished Les Pauls.
The next year's refinements upped the ante just slightly but enough to bring the instrument to its classic apex. The neck on the 1959 Les Paul thinned enough to make the guitar faster to play and the narrow frets that previously helped define the Les Paul were enlarged. These jumbo frets made bending notes easier — crucial for the blues based players like Green and Page who brought the '59 to fame. Those seem like simply changes, but guitarists understand how crucial neck and fret characteristics are to performance.
Of course, the '59 'Burst didn't become a house-priced instrument overnight. New they cost less than $300 including a case. Keith Richards probably paid less when he bought his, fitted with a Bigsby whammy bar, used in 1964, becoming the fist celebrity rocker to publicly embrace the Les Paul. Richards then sold the guitar to Mick Taylor in 1967, when Taylor replaced Green in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. Michael Bloomfield also played a '59 starting in the mid-'60s, inspired — like Richards — by the guitars favored early on by blues guitar innovators Freddie King and Hubert Sumlin. And thus the chain of fame began.
Add to that list of historic '59s players Duane Allman and Dickey Betts, Jeff Beck (briefly) in the Yardbirds, Slash, Paul McCartney, Joe Perry, Paul Kossoff and Ace Frehley among many others.
For those with less than six figures to spend on a guitar, the Gibson Custom Shop builds outstanding reproductions of these classic instruments, made with much more exacting procedures than the originals despite a precise devotion to vintage detail. Among these models are various artist models like the Kossoff and an upcoming Joe Perry special edition, the 50th Anniversary 1959 Les Paul Standard and the 1959 Les Paul Factory Burst.

[VIDEO] Bob Sapp Outguns Alistair Overeem & Mark Hunt in One Night, Death of God Confirmed
For the longest time, we thought Bob Sapp's muscles were an extension of his personality, which is to say, fake. Like, Spongebob Squarepants "Anchor Arms" fake. Sure, they looked realistic and everything, but we always believed that underneath all the state-of-the-art makeup and Styrofoam padding was a frail, perpetually horrified struggling actor who just wanted to do some method acting before everything spiraled out of control. Why else would Sapp fall to the mat crying as soon as his opponent even looked at him the wrong way? He's a sensitive artist that has feels, that's why.
Unfortunately, Sapp pretty much shattered our universe and proved once and for all that he does posses strength in that Rhinosaur build of his, via a Japanese arm-wrestling tournament that took place over the weekend. Although the tourney featured such actual fighters as Alistair Overeem and Mark Hunt, Sapp absolutely Lincoln Hawked the competition without even breaking a sweat. You know, kind of like how he collects 50k per fight to do the complete opposite.
The entire video is above and also features Kazushi Sakuraba, a Sumo in a track suit, and at least one advertisement that will give you the heebie-jeebies. So basically, it's every Japanese game show you've ever witnessed. Enjoy.Read More DIGG THIS
