Gift Packaging
At Williams-Sonoma, we offer several tools to help with gift packaging, ranging from personalized embossers to labels to twine. Make gift giving more festive and personalized with an embosser. Choose from one with or without a stand. Design a personalized plate with logos, initials and wording. Families may get a plate with the family crest or last name. Individuals may get a plate with their initials. Either way, the embosser is simple to use. We have foil labels available for use with the embosser, which comes in gold, silver, blue and green. For those who are pressed for time, consider our gift wrap services. The wrapping is available for holidays, gift registry items and regularly purchased items. This makes it simple to purchase a gift, have it gift wrapped for you and finally shipped to the receiver's address.
For the person who seems to have it all, gift them some gourmet food. With candy, sauces and pastries, we offer a wide range of items to meet every need. For business-related gifting, consider some aged balsamic vinegar and olive oil or go with a simple gift like a set of jam. For friends and family, surprise with an entree subscription service. Get items mailed directly to the receiver's address for a specific number of days, and the entrees are sure to please. Items like meatloaf, stew and polenta dolcetta like come to us exclusively through a provider that is a delicatessen and makes these meals from scratch. The smaller items, such as jam and sauces, can be decorated easily with an embossed foil tag.
If the person is extremely difficult to shop for, or if there's just not enough time, give them a gift set. These are pre-made and range from bath collections, cookware sets and premium food sets. For gifting in the office, choose a simple cookie or fruit basket for a cordial and traditional gift. If you are looking for something for a newlywed couple, consider the gift of luxurious caviar. For another basic option, look at our olive oil gift sets. Anyone who cooks will be glad to use such high-quality oil. Whatever the case may be, these gifts are already selected and elegantly packed. Giving your friends, family, neighbors, or coworkers a gift set can be a great way to show thoughtfulness without going overboard.
For the home cook, give them something unique. Our selection of agrarian gifts, which includes gin making kits, mushroom logs and indoor planters, are one-of-a-kind items that will be remembered long afterward. The mushroom log, in particular, is a special gift. The log will produce shiitake mushrooms every two to three months for up to three years. Shiitake mushrooms is a delicacy in Japan, and offers a very strong flavor that is ideal for Asian dishes. Use it in soups or rice dishes. An indoor planter can also be a great decor item that is very utilitarian. Encourage someone to grow their own organic produce, such as tomatoes and lettuce year-round. Another option for gifting is to pick up a small gift, like one of the gifts for foodies, such as seafood crackers and caviar, and instead of wrapping the item, embellishing it with an embossed tag.
Other creative ways to use the embossed tags include making some cookies with our cookie mix. Once they are done, place a handful in a clear, plastic bag, seal it with a ribbon and decorate it with a tag. These can make simple but thoughtful small gifts for teachers and friends. Cooking for others and gifting them desserts or casseroles is thoughtful and usually very appreciated. It's a great way to meet new neighbors, thank old friends or to tell someone you've been thinking of them.

This is the first look at a campaign I have been working on for MiiR Bottles over the past several months. These ads will be both online and in print. Soon to follow will be the debut of my first commercial as a director, which will be equally clever and funny. As simple as a water bottle sounds, there are so many great ideas to work with because there are a lot of water bottles on the market that are difficult to use. I think this comes across pretty clear in these ads.
I would like to say thank you to Bryan Papé of MiiR who is always so supportive and trusting of my vision. And thank you, also, to Ian Goode of Gigantic Squid for making the waterbeard magic and going the extra 100 miles to make these turn out as good as they did.
If you were wondering, this is the campaign I hinted at last month when I posted an image from one of the water capture shoots.

I had an idea for maintaining a persistent online game world using a "worse is better" approach. Distribute the server program with the client and let people register their personal dedicated servers with a central tracker (or you could design a P2P discovery mechanism because the number of servers is low, probably ~1k). Each server admin is responsible for cracking down on cheats and hacks. If they choose to run a server that is full of dupes and twinks, so be it. However, the currency of each server is distinct from all the others, so there are a thousand different currencies. The exchange rates are determined by the market of players buying and selling goods. The currency of a reliable server with a reputation for honest dealing, good uptime, and decent players will be valued higher than that of a server some chump keeps in his basement on a modem, churning out copies of a rare artifact armor.
If you restrict the transfers between servers to currency and players, then that is it, that is my idea in its entirety. If you want to allow the exchange of goods, you need some way to throttle the flow. My best idea is import tariffs, payable only in the currency of the destination server. Each server admin sets his own tariff rates.
The fundamental point is that people will cheat and there is nothing you can do to stop them. The most you can hope for is to segregate the cheaters from the non-cheaters.

I modded my Flux Capacitor USB Charger and turned it into an instant notification widget.
Since I wasn't satisfied with how I laid out it's big bother, I decided to redo the board, the Xeno-GC Clone Mini is the end result. It's about the size of a quarter dollar and twice as sexy. Check out the images above and see for yourself.
So is it worth it ordering from China based ITeadStudio versus tried and tested OSH Park? Watch the video and find out!
Here's the Raspberry Pi R3 PCB TH (Through-Hole) model fully populated.
I recently gave a talk on the Raspberry Pi during which I mentioned using the GPIO sysfs interface instead of something like the WiringPi library, I was asked if I could provide a small example… I can.
Back when I was a kid, I decided I wanted to make my own game console. Granted I also wanted to be an astronaut and the first man on Mars, but I had to draw the line somewhere.
As tasty as it might sound, it seems to not be a nutritious partnership, at least not yet.
I recently added uinput support to Marshmallow Game Engine, allowing me to received input events on the Raspberry Pi. Also, You can now select which input source you want to use at compile time (evdev, x11, etc).
I got bored and decided to play around with plain C & Qt so I made a very lightweight su command with a Qt4 frontend.

B+W Circular Polarizer Kasemann 67mm
B+W Circular Polarizer Kasemann 67mm
Kasemann Circular Polarizing filter with MRC and Nano coating. Slim (5mm) mount with front filter thread
Circular polarizing filters are made for all cameras with beam splitters in the light paths of their TTL exposure meter and with autofocus lenses. Circular polarization has the same pictorial effect as linear polarization, but allows for proper exposure metering and/or autofocus distance settings.
The 'high-end' polarizing foils of the Kasemann-type filters are neutral in color, they have a higher efficiency than conventional polarizing foils and they are cemented between high-grade plano-parallel optical glass. The resulting sandwich is then precision-polished again to achieve highly accurate plano-parallel surfaces. Subsequently they are edge-sealed to protect the foil against humidity. Discriminating photographers regard the B+W Kasemann-Type Polarizing Filter to be the very best of all polarizing filters. They are well suited for applications that require the highest possible imaging quality, especially with high-speed telephoto lenses and apochromatic lenses.
Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) with Nano Technology
The nano coating is an outer layer of protection that comes standard with all XS-Pro Digital MRC filters. The nanotechnology based characteristic (lotus effect) produces a better beading effect with water making the cleaning of this filter even simpler and faster than ever before. MRC nano has an improved outer (8th) layer over regular MRC.
MRC by B+W is not only an extraordinarily effective multiple layer coating, it is also harder than glass, so that it protects filters from scratches (for instance when cleaning the filters), and it is also water and dirt repellent, thus facilitating filter maintenance.
XS-Pro Digital mount
This filter uses our rotating XS-Pro Digital mount which is especially suited for DSLRs with wide angle and zoom lenses. It has a front thread for additional accessories such as lens caps or hoods. All XS-Pro Digital mounts are made of brass and are matte black to prevent reflections.

Days after comedienne Margaret Cho wrote on her blog that Bristol Palin only appeared on "Dancing with The Stars" because Sarah Palin put her up to it, the 20-year-old mom struck back with a facebook post.
"Let me be blunt: my mom did not 'force' me to go on 'DWTS,'" Palin wrote. "She did not ask me either. The show approached me. I thought about it. I made the decision.
U.S. & World
"For 20 years my mom had my back–and for the rest of my life I will have hers," the former first daughter of Alaska said.
Last week, Cho wrote that she was good friends with Bristol Palin and said the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate blamed her daughter's unexpected pregnancy for losing the 2008 election. Cho said Sarah Palin felt her daughter "owed" it to her to go on "Dancing with the Stars" to mend her image.
Bristol Palin finished third in the contest.

LeTourneau University in Longview, Texas is one of 14 colleges and universities across the country selected to receive a grant to participate in the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) Competency-Based Education (CBE) Jumpstart program, funded by the Lumina Foundation.
"Competency-based education is particularly relevant for adult and nontraditional learners who bring learning from work and life experiences into higher education," said LETU Provost Dr. Philip A. Coyle. "Competency-based education is a crucial concept and practice in the future of higher education, particularly over the next decade. Adult learners do not want to take classes that provide the skills they already have, just to meet degree requirements.
"With the rising costs of education, students expect education that is flexible enough to meet their needs, while being relevant, reasonably-priced and provides them skills that are immediately transferable into the workplace," Coyle said. "Competency-based courses and programs are evidence-based and provide specific measure of the skills students possess that meet workforce requirements.
"This initiative will help build the capacity of higher education institutions like LETU to offer competency-based education degree programs to help our adult students earn their degrees faster based on defined competency requirements, allowing them to gain college credit for experience they have already attained, rather than just by classroom course work."
The initiative at LETU will be administered by Matthew Henry, dean of Innovative Education. Colleen Halupa, director of Curriculum Design and Technology will be the curriculum design lead. Dr. Larry Frazier, dean of the School of Arts and Sciences will be the content lead. Dr. Arturo Morales, assistant professor in Spanish, will be the Spanish language coordinator.
Development of a plan to implement competency-based degree programs at LeTourneau University should help the university encourage students to complete their degree programs by providing authentic assessment for these learners and offering college credit for competencies obtained through job and life experience. This program can give students clear pathways to improve their completion rates and respond faster to workforce needs and trends.
CAEL will provide webinar and onsite training in competency-based education and assessment to faculty and staff over the next 9 to 12 months to help them understand the impact the program may have on the university as it works toward implementation.
LETU has over 20 years of experience meeting needs of both traditional college students and adult learners, both online and at selected sites throughout the state of Texas. A large pool of transfer students with relevant career experience would benefit greatly from a competency-based model in degree programs in business, criminal justice and others.
"LETU is committed to authentic assessment of student competencies and would like to expand this commitment into the area of competency-based learning, assessment and degrees to meet the needs of the community, the East Texas region and statewide business, veteran, industry and workforce needs," said Matthew Henry, LETU's dean of Innovative Learning.
"Since Texas has a large, educationally underserved Hispanic population, this program will help us understand how to provide opportunities through bilingual assessment and competency-based programs, to close student attainment gaps," Henry said. "As we explore competency-based education, it's feasible to provide credentials for this underserved population through degrees and advanced certificates resulting in significant employment opportunities. This grant allows us to explore these possibilities."
With the additional training provided under this grant, LETU's vision is to become one of the top 10 regional and top five private university providers of education for adults and veterans by meeting the diverse needs of the student population in Texas and surrounding states.
LETU seeks to develop a process where competencies required for course credits are mapped and aligned to authentic assessments that measure students' skills in the content area. LETU faculty will be involved in collaboration with the curriculum department of the university to establish these defined competencies and assessments.
Initially, LETU would target competency-based education to adult learners and U.S. veterans, then expand the initiative to include underserved populations such as Hispanic students and students who require remediation. The competency assessments would be targeted to specific courses in the areas where students are likely to have skills and experience including business, criminal justice and psychology, according to Henry.
As the competency program expands, a competency program could also be offered for health care workers and psychologists in Spanish to provide college credit for those who are bilingual, Henry said. Eventually the competency-based program would encompass an entire degree in an area that meets the needs of the region and the state.
LETU already has education centers in two of the largest growing cities in the nation: Houston and Dallas, which allows LETU to expand its reach to where these type of competency-based programs are most needed. The Dallas area also is home to a large aerospace industry. Competency-based degrees are likely to have significant potential, Henry said.
Besides LETU, other colleges selected are:
• Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Kalamazoo, Michigan
• Los Angeles Trade Technical College, Los Angeles, California
• The New School, New York, New York
• Golden Gate University, San Francisco, California
• Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis, Indiana
• Valdosta State University, Valdosta, Georgia
• Minnesota State Colleges and University System
• Community College of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
• Davenport University, Grand Rapids, Michigan
• Pace University, New York, New York
• University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio
• Granite State College, University System of New Hampshire
• Missouri Department of Higher Education/Missouri Community College Association
About CAEL
The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization based in Chicago, Illinois, that assists adults with their educational endeavors, finding practical ways to help them earn college credit for learning acquired through life and work experiences toward the completion of a postsecondary degree.
CAEL works with the public sector, private sector industries, and higher education institutions to ensure that adult students receive the most efficient training and education to occupy a meaningful professional place in a 21st century economy. Since 1974, CAEL has assisted colleges and universities to develop programs that evaluate adults' non-collegiate learning for college credit. CAEL is the recognized national expert on a method known as portfolio assessment, and its Ten Standards for Assessing Learning are used by colleges and universities, as well as accrediting organizations, across the country. More information is available at www.cael.org.

Sunday begun in a pretty hectic way for me. I had what seemed like a full day by the time I welcomed the sunrise. I had woken up at 3.30 in the morning – so that I could make my way down to the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple for Thaipusam, an annual ritual observed by Hindus of Southern Indian origin. A spiritual journey which begins well before the day itself, it culminates in an extreme act of faith involving the bearing of a burden or a kavadi on its final leg – and one which I try not to miss. I spent a good hour and a half at the temple, crowded not just with devotees and their families and friends, but also with hundreds of curious observers and photographers, before making my way across town to the Kampong Bahru flyover, not so much for the spectacular sunrise that was always going to be a treat, but more in an attempt to capture the column of 6000 runners on the inaugural Green Corridor Run making their way down the former railway yard. Having done all that, I decided to take the rest of the morning slow and easy – before making my way down to Art Stage 2013 – an annual event which is the largest international art fair here for a calm and slow afternoon – something I was certainly thankful for.
Art Stage 2013 which brought in over 130 galleries, the majority of which are from the Asia-Pacific, was, reading the post-event news, a huge success – it attracted some 40 500 visitors over 5 days, and provided a platform for many emerging artists, especially from Singapore and South-East Asia to be introduced into the art world. Joining in a guided tour for bloggers' of the fair kindly arranged by URA Marina Bay's place management team, I was also able to get to see and (pretend to) understand the works of some of these emerging artists a little better, artists such as Zulkifli Yusoff from Malaysia whose work Rukunegara was certainly an eye-catching one which provides the artist's take on the nation-building process.
Another eye-catching piece is an intriguing installation by Geraldine Javier entitled "Red Fights Back". Javier who is from the Philippines retells a popular fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood through a set of images and a tree, set against a backdrop of dried leaves. Also from the Philippines, is a large mural – that of street artist Vermont Coronel Jr., entitled "High Way" which is his interpretation of the urban landscape he is most familiar with – that of Metro Manila's major thoroughfare, EDSA (Epifanio de los Santos Avenue), a landscape that is also representative of many other urban spaces. The work involves the artist painstakingly creating stencils which is overlaid and sprayed over.
The tour also introduced us to the work of two Thai artists, that of Anusorn Charoensuk and Maitree Siriboon, both of whom we had a chance to meet. Anusorn Charoensuk's "World Tour" is interesting in that it involves photographs taken over a period of five years against the backdrop of paintings of popular tourist destinations – in which the subjects – members of his family, express the same joy one would expect in posing in with the actual places that are depicted. It is also interesting that in the last of the photographs that we see the image of an angel, to represent the artist's father who had passed on when the photograph was taken. Anusorn Charoensuk's also had an interactive installation at the fair. It was one in which he invites visitors to have a photograph taken against a backdrop of how he saw Orchard Road (without having actually seen the well-known street). Painted on a zinc sheet, the backdrop shows a building what he is able to identify with the street – that of the tower of Tang Plaza.
Moving on to compatriot Maitree Siriboon's installation, open sacks of rice immediately catches the eye. The installation "Rice is Art" involves 450 kg of rice – given by rice farmers in his home village in the rice-growing Issan region of Thailand. The gift, Maitree says, represents a sacrifice made by the community which is dependent on rice harvests for a living in support of his work. The installation also involves a collection of photographs which shows the support of the rice-growing community for the creation of the installation.
One Singapore artist whose work we were introduced to was that of Ang Sookoon. The series of works at the fair were ones that looks at items in a domestic space. " The Waves/Waifs" is one that involves brooms made of blond hair and wood – a reference perhaps to the domesticated nature of women in society. Another piece, "Your Love is Like a Chunk of Gold", sees crystal being grown on another familiar item in a domestic setting, bread. The piece which I most enjoyed, "Weighs Like Mine", involved a chest of four drawers. The chest is one which encourages the view to interact with it, and in the drawers one will discover what again are familiar scenes in domestic settings.
Following the Southeast Asian Art Tour, I also took the opportunity to take a leisurely look around what is the third edition of Singapore's largest international arts fair with a focus on fostering Southeast Asia artists and galleries, photographing some of what did catch my eye, not just the installations by themselves – but how visitors and gallery staff viewed and interacted with the works on display some of which follows:

Summer 2012 is all about showing a little skin, and we've got just the trend to help you do it: the bare midriff. With designers from Versace to Proenza Schouler and celebrities from Freida Pinto to Rihanna putting a chic, tasteful spin on the cutoff top, there's a whole new set of reasons to rock your favorite Indian blouse.
When it comes to the midriff, no designer does it better than Dolce & Gabbana. By pairing structured midriff blouses with 1950s-inspired high-waisted skirts, the design powerhouse gives a softer, totally tasteful edge to the tummy-baring bustier. Spring Summer 2012 collections from Versace, Preen, Proenza Schouler and Emilio Pucci all play up the midriff, pairing the crop top with a variety of separates.
Where designers go, celebrities always follow. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a stunning, black beaded Emilio Pucci skirt and blouse to the Emmy Awards, Kate Bosworth recently bared her tummy in a Proenza Schouler look, and Freida Pinto rocked a nautical-inspired midriff top and matching A-line skirt at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. (And did you see her recent midriff-baring photo spread in Flaunt Magazine?) But our favorite variation of this summer trend is definitely pairing a midriff top with trousers for a more casual look, a style we've spotted on Rihanna, Kristen Stewart and Jennifer Lopez.
Every Indian fashionista knows that a chic blouse is one of the best ways to spice up a saree or salwar, but Summer 2012 is the perfect time to give your brocade blouse a Western spin. Luxemi's Black Brocade Blouse by White Orchid has stunning gold brocade work, a deep-V neckline and a length that's perfect for pairing with a high-waisted skirt or pants.
For a more casual look, we love matching the blouse with this ASOS Peplum Waist Skirt, which has a modest knee length that keeps this look on-par with runway trends. And for a night out, this Marc Jacobs Brocade Prairie Skirt provides just the right pop of color and brocade work to contrast gorgeously with the blouse. Luxemi also loves pairing this brocade blouse with a classic pair of black pants like these Tuxedo Wide Leg Trousers from Viktor & Rolf. By going with a wide-leg cut with your trousers, you'll balance out the form-fitting cut of the blouse for a fresh, sophisticated look.
Luxemi's Bare Your Midriff Promotion
Enter to win the Black Brocade Blouse featured in this post (a $128 value!). Between now and June 23rd*, visit Luxemi's Video Genie and record a 30-second video explaining how you'd style the Black Brocade Blouse if you're chosen as the contest winner. Is there a piece in your closet you're dying to pair it with? Do you like the looks with pants or a skirt? Let us know!
* Best response will be chosen as winner. Video must be recorded and approved between Thursday, June 14 at 10 a.m. PST and June 23 at 10 a.m. PST.

Before becoming one of country music's most popular females, songwriter Miranda Lambert grew up in Lindale, Texas, a small town 80 miles east of Dallas. The daughter of a country guitarist (Rick Lambert) and a detective agency owner, she was raised in a house dedicated to country music. Lambert began entering country talent contests when she was 16, including an appearance with the Johnny High Country Music Review in Arlington, Texas. She learned to play guitar and began writing her own songs while continuing to enter various competitions, one of which earned her an appearance in a potato chip advertisement and the 2001 teen comedy Slap Her She's French. At 17 years old, she formed the Texas Pride Band and began gigging professionally, and later in 2001 -- with financial help from her father -- she showcased her songwriting skills by releasing an independent CD, Miranda Lambert. Two of the album's tracks, "Texas Pride" and "Somebody Else," even entered the Texas music charts.
In 2003, Lambert successfully auditioned for Nashville Star, a reality TV series modeled after the American Idol format. She decamped to Nashville in order to appear on the show and eventually finished third in the competition, which led to a recording contract with Sony. Still only 21 years old, she released her first major-label single, "Me and Charlie Talking," in 2004, with the full-length Kerosene following in 2005. Lambert wrote or co-wrote ten of the album's 11 tracks, several of which became popular singles on country radio, and Kerosene eventually went platinum.
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend experienced similar success upon its release in 2007; moreover, it established Lambert as one of country's newest "bad girls," a designation that nodded to the fiery temperament of her music. Lambert's songs spun tales of cheating boyfriends and domestic abuse, and they almost always ended with the singer extracting violent, spectacular revenge on her aggressors. For 2009's award-winning Revolution, however, she branched out into other subjects, drawing upon a happy (and highly publicized) relationship with fellow country star Blake Shelton while writing songs about love, regret, and childhood. Like the two albums before it, Revolution went platinum. Lambert wrote or co-wrote six of the 14 tracks on her next outing, Four the Record, which appeared in the fall of 2011. ~ Steve Leggett & Andrew Leahey, Rovi

Mickey Himsl's '27 T Tub - Tubby
Mickey Himsl's '27 T Tub
Most folks can cite certain events when what they were experiencing would affect them for the rest of their life. So you might call it an epiphany, or perhaps kismet when, in 1956, a young Mickey Himsl had tagged along with his three older brothers (Joe, David, and Art) to the Grand National Roadster Show in Oakland, California. The only way they'd take him along is if he'd promise not to say anything to them while there, but that was about to be taken care of when Mickey first spied Norm Grabowski's T-bucket.
While the older Himsls walked the entire show, Mickey was slack-jawed at the sight of Norm's T-so much so he sat down in the aisle of the arena in front of the car and stared at it until his brothers came to get him to leave. Mickey had already seen hot rods at that early age (his brother, Joe, had owned a channeled '34 coupe, and, in '52, was driving a Barris-chopped '41 Ford around town), but he wasn't prepared for Norm's hot rod concept.
Years later, Mickey can only speculate that event was what turned him into a lifelong fan of the Model T Ford, a car a lot of folks just aren't into. But Mickey looks at Norm's T, TV Tommy Ivo's bucket, and even Ed Iskendarian's old T as some of the best-looking, most influential hot rods ever built.
A few years back, Mickey heard about a T tub that had once belonged to metalman Jack Hagemann, who had in turn sold it to Bay Area rodder Bob Munroe. Jack had not yet worked his magic on the car before he sold it and it was pretty rough, so Mickey came up with the cash when Bob put it up for sale. Mickey then located an A frame close to his home in Concord, California, and it even came with a Flathead and a complete rearend. But, as he soon found out, the gears were blown up in the rear and the motor needed to be gone through. As luck would have it, Mickey then found a good frame from Bob Westbury, and soon had enough parts to start the build.
Mickey added the motor mounts to the A frame for the Flathead, located a '36 Ford rearend, and changed the rear wishbone to one from 1940, which allowed him to move the spring over the axle instead of behind it. Monroe shocks were used all the way around, and '40 Ford brakes went in up front while '48 Ford drums were used out back.
For steering, Mickey pulled a '56 Ford truck box off his shelf and made his own steering column out of muffler tubing. The fuel tank, made by Bob Munroe, is a 9-gallon unit that is hidden under the back seat. The car rolls on stock '35 Ford spoked wheels (powdercoated red) and wrapped in Firestone 700- and 560-16 skins.
As far as Mickey is concerned, Flatheads look great between the framerails of a hot rod, and this car would be no different. Starting with a '48 59AB block, he dropped in a 4-inch Merc crank, 3 5/16-inch pistons, a Potvin 3/4 race cam, and milled .080 off the heads for a final compression ratio of 7.5:1. Not a fire-breather, but it gets the job done! Up top, a pair of 97 carbs is bolted to an Edelbrock manifold, and homemade headers extract the spent gasses. (For the headers, Mickey was heavily influenced by a set he'd seen on the cover of a '50s-era Hop Up magazine, and the design has stuck with him ever since). The transmission is a '39 Ford box, which Mickey had gone through and replaced the bearings.
When it came to the body, Mickey had thought about using a pristine original '32 shell he had for this project, but couldn't muster the gumption to cut it up, so he used a Brookville Roadster shell and an insert from Speedy Bill and chopped both 4 inches to make it fit his ride. Russo's Automotive in Pittsburgh, California, did all the bodywork, and, after it was in primer, Mickey thought it might look great as a rat rod.
But the bodywork Joe Russo did turned out so good that, when Mickey's brother, Art (the well-known Hall of Fame painter/pinstriper), saw how nice it turned out, he convinced his younger brother to go with a gloss. So Art found some beige in a can he had at the shop, mixed some other stuff into it, and came up with the Mickey Beige you see on the car today.
Traditional hot rods almost always have some kind of pinstriping on them, but neither Art nor Mickey knew what to do with the tub. That is until one night at 3 in the morning when Art woke up out of a dead sleep with an idea, went out to his shop, and laid it out right then and there. The red, Tommy "The Greek"-inspired chicken scratches look good on the firewall and King Bee headlight buckets, but it's what Art did on the back panel of the tub that's really extraordinary.
Art went all out with his pinstriping brush, designing what he would eventually say reminded him of a "portly" gentleman. Not knowing for sure if Art was making fun of his weight, Mickey accepted the new name Art had bestowed on his ride: Tubby.
With the gloss on, Mickey took his tub to Contra Costa Auto Upholstery in Concord, California, to have a tan cloth top made up but also oxblood-colored Naugahyde added to the twin bench seats. With a little bit of homemade wiring and the addition of three Stewart Warner gauges, he was ready to blast down the open highway-err, maybe at least get up to 60 with a good tailwind and steep decline! Well, fast wasn't the reason Mickey built his phaeton, and he does have to bundle up when driving it after the sun goes down, but, to him, the car represents what he has known all these many years-Model Ts are cool!

5 common myths about cats debunked
(NewsUSA) - There are some things that everybody knows about cats, such as they purr when they're happy. But you might be surprised to learn that many of the "facts" you know about cats are actually untrue. For example, while cats often purr when they're happy, they may also purr when they're anxious or uncomfortable.
Do you know fact from fiction about your cat? Here are a few common cat myths debunked:
Myth #1. Cats should drink cow's milk. Cats do not need to drink milk. In fact, cats typically lose the ability to drink milk after they're weaned, so feeding them milk can give them diarrhea.
Myth #2. Cats should eat fish. It's perfectly fine to give Fluffy fish every once in awhile, but it's far from kitty's ideal food. Cats need an amino acid called taurine in their diet, and fish do not provide it. Fish, as a regular part of the diet, could make your cat sick.
Myth #3. It is natural for cats to have bad breath. If kitty's "morning breath" makes you want to heave, it's a sign that your cat has an oral health problem and should see a veterinarian. You can prevent dental problems by brushing your cat's teeth. If your cat is uncooperative, try adding oral care probiotics to its food.
Myth #4. Cats always land on their feet. Cats are agile creatures with the ability to twist in mid-air, but if they're falling from a short height, they won't have time to put themselves feet-first. A fall from a great height could kill or seriously injure a cat, whether it lands on its feet or not.
Myth #5. Cats gain weight if they are spayed or neutered. Cats' metabolisms do change after they are fixed, but weight gain can be easily avoided by simply decreasing the amount of food that you feed them. Spaying or neutering is one of the the best things you can do for your cat, as it reduces the risk of some types of cancer and helps your cat avoid contributing to the pet overpopulation problem.

Tall Order on the Horizon for the Tall Texan
Not really sure what level of comfort Tampa Bay Rays SP Jeff Niemann has to push away a team offer of $ 2.75 million and hold out in the hope of making his change pocket jingle with his own arbitration figure of $ 3.25 million. Is the difference of a measly $ 500,000 really worth possibly alienating your own 2012 future with a team that already might be considering trading or even banishing you to the Bullpen?
Niemann definitely knows he is not honestly being considered for any of the Top 3 Rays 2012 rotation spots,possibly only penciled in as the 5th starter because the Rays will probably send rookie sensation Matt Moore to Triple-A Durham until mid-May. Not sure if even tipping the boat in a minor way is the right thing to do when you are not on a solid foundation with the franchise in terms of your overall pitching health, and a small bout of inconsistent throwing over the past 2 seasons.
Sure you cut an intimidating figure on the mound at 6'9", but the Rays have their own bit of intimidation at their disposal going a perfect 4-0 against Rays players who dared go into the arbitrator's chamber with them. But this shows a new level of confidence from the "Tall Texan", and might end up being the best thing to happen to him this Spring.
But even Niemann has to admit he is not a solid " sure thing" to make the Rays rotation in 2012. This off-season feels much like the Spring of 2009 when Niemann had to battle ex Ray SP Jason Hammel throw-for-throw during the Spring until the Rays made the decision easier by trading Hammel to the Colorado Rockies on April 5, 2009 for pitcher Aneury Rodriguez.
Seems to me that if Niemann's arbitration years had started in 2009 or 2010 he might have more foundation to stand on his proposed arbitration figure as his win totals of 13 victories in 2009 and 12 in 2010 are a step above his 2011 total of 11 wins. But maybe Niemann and his agent are banking on the facts his 4.06 ERA was the second best final ERA of his Rays career.
Not sure what the mathematical equations or system Niemann and his agent are using to bring up a $500,000 windfall over the Rays offer, but we know it is not based on Niemann's last start (38 pitches, 1 inning of work) or the fact Niemann was on the shelf for a total of 42 games, effectively only making 23 starts in 2011 while compiling his 11-7 record. Still, having only 5 no-decisions is a nice accomplishment, but it certainly is not worth half a million dollars.
Combined his short start with the fact Niemann's last start on Saturday, September 24 was actually 2 days later as the Rays scratched him from his Thursday start against the New York Yankees due to soreness and you see a Niemann pattern developing. But I want to keep positive here, possibly Niemann's 5-0 record with a 2.08 ERA in his last 6 starts against AL East teams can be the boost needed to have the arbitrator seeing eye-to-eye with the Tall Texan on his arbitration case this Spring
Or possibly Niemann and his agent will flaunt the fact that since Niemann came off the DL on June 20th, and prior to his September 24th debacle start, he posted a 10-3 record with a stellar 3.41 ERA with 88 strikeouts. Possibly the Tall Texan's team will thrust up the almighty fact Niemann was 8-2 on the road in 2011, the second best record in the American League. Adding to his road list, Niemann had a 3,27 Era on the road to go along with winning 8 of his last 9 decisions, including a complete game 3-hit exclamation point against the Red Sox in Fenway on August 17, 2011.
Maybe Niemann's representative will be sure to note to the arbitrator that the second member of the "silent assassin" clan went 11-1 when the Rays scored at least 3 runs, plus posted 10 or more K's in 3 of his starts. Or maybe the proverbial cherry on top of this mound of stats might be the pure fact Niemann won 7 straight decisions from June 20-August 16th, tying his career high and the Rays club record. This is also the second time in his career Niemann has done this feat, previously posting the same results from Oct. 3,2009-June 9, 2010.
Or possibly the fact Niemann went 4-1 in his 5 starts in August 2011, which tied the Rays club record for the month plus the added bonus of his July numbers when he posted a 1.06 ERA in 5 starts setting the Rays club ERA record for any month. These numbers ranked 2nd in the MLB for July, trailing only NYY CC Sabathia and lowered Niemann's 2011 ERA from 5.58 to 3.51 in the process. Niemann also set a career strikeout mark in 2011 when on July 29th in Seattle Niemann struck out 11 Mariners over 6.2 innings breaking his previous high of 10 K's.
Still, going up against an organization that boasts a flawless 4-0 record against their players in arbitration begs to differ the difference of $500,000 is worth all the aggravation and possible internal damage beyond the playing field. Who knows what will happen once the doors closes this Spring, or if the Rays and Niemann can somehow reach an accord before the door firmly shuts and Niemann could become another victim of the Rays arbitration winning machine.
I'm not betting on Niemann coming out of this unscathed. No matter if he wins or loses his arbitration case, Niemann has to think he is a pitcher on a bit of a death march. Even if he doesn't come out with an arbitration victory, Niemann could still find himself out of the Rays fold by April because of the Rays developing pitching talent, and not his overall pluses or minuses to the squad. Arbitration to me seems like a no-win situation where you go into a room fighting your boss and hoping he gains respect, admiration and sees you have that killer instinct you want from your starters. I wish Niemann luck….He is going to definitely need a Texas-sided batch of it heading into his arbitration date with the Rays.

Roast food in Spain
Lechazo asado
Espeto de sardinas
Roasting is a juicy way of cooking in the oven. The method is used especially with meat, but it can also be used with fish and vegetables. It is a traditional method that preserves all the flavour of the food and cooks it in its own juices. Here are some of the best roast dishes.
The most typical dish is made with meat, preheated in the oven, often in a wood-burning oven. The piece of meat acquires a golden colour because it is often greased with lard or olive oil. Sometimes the meat is seasoned to enhance its flavour, and garnished with vegetables. The meat is also sprinkled with its juices while roasting, together with olive oil and vegetables. Roast meat This way of preparing the meat is very typical, especially inland. One of the top roast dishes is suckling pig - typical of Castile-León. When it is taken out of the oven, the meat is tender and juicy, so the suckling pig can be sliced, as it is popularly done, with a plate. Roast kid is also prepared that way, and in the region of Galicia, too. Other roast dishes that are very typical in Castile-León are roast lamb, and especially, suckling lamb, which is roasted only with salt and water. Lamb is also popular in Aragon, where baby lamb from Aragon is cooked - less than 90 days old and especially tender. It is usually cooked on slates or in a wood-burning oven. Another typical recipe is roast and stuffed baby lamb. The meat needs to be sprinkled with wine the night before cooking.
In La Rioja, small lamb chops are roasted and one of the most popular recipes is chops roasted with vine shoots, that is, cooked on the embers of the shoots. As well as these roast dishes, it is common to cook beef and certain cured meats this way, such as chorizo in earthenware bowls. Another dish involves poultry, which is mainly roasted by turning it over the fire and with different types of herbs and spices to add flavour. Roast fish and seafood As regards fruits of the sea, one of the most popular recipes is roast fish with salt, using different species such as gilthead bream, sea bass and sea bream. Curiously enough, one of the most typical inland roast fish dishes is Madrid-style red bream, a Madrid Region recipe, in which the fish is cooked in the oven with king prawns and vegetables. Roast dishes without using the oven are typical in the south when preparing fish. We are talking about sardine skewers, in Malaga, which are grilled. Seafood is cooked on griddles, especially prawns and king prawns. Roast vegetables In Spain you can also enjoy roast vegetables. One of the tastiest recipes is escalivada, typical of Catalonia. For this dish, strips of vegetables such as aubergines and peppers are roasted, and seasoned with olive oil, garlic and salt. In general, the consumption of roast peppers is very popular, especially as a side dish, mainly Piquillo peppers. These peppers are native to Lodosa, Navarre, and are sold roasted and packed. Things to remember: You'll be able to enjoy roast dishes practically all over Spain, whether it is meat, poultry, fish or vegetables. The perfect complement to roast meat is a good local wine, such as Ribera del Duero (Castile-León) or Rioja (La Rioja).
