Rated 1 out of 5 by SystemAdmin from No quality, Little functionality Complete junk. Stamped/non forged steel: check! Right handed only: check! Feels cheap and quickly made: check! Resin handles do not have to feel this poorly made but these do. I will be most certainly happy to return these knives and never buy Laguiole products again. Just buy some reasonable german cutlery and you will avoid this problem. The reality is that you are mostly paying for box and cheap knives.Date published: 2015-07-13Rated 5 out of 5 by GKennedy from Cute Spreaders My another little thing which make me happy. So cute and useful little spreaders, working great on my bagels and rolls spreading butter and jam. Very handy, I was looking for one long time and bingo...I have it. Thanks Williams-Sonora for nice little things.Date published: 2012-12-29Rated 5 out of 5 by Gizmette from Viva Laguiole!

DescriptionHarlan Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2002
Bottle (6)
"The extraordinary Harlan Estate, which I awarded 100 points seven years ago, offers no justifiable reason to doubt its perfect score. It is still a baby, with an inky purple color and notes of smoky camphor intermixed with creme de cassis, Asian soy and a hint of cedar beginning to emerge as well as some espresso and subtle damp forest floor notes. The wine has awesome intensity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, a skyscraper-like texture, and a finish that goes on for close to a minute." (100 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #201, June 2012)

This prototype "2-in-1 smartpad" from Imerj and Frog is an Android phone that offers up twice the screen real estate as a standard phone by flipping out to connect two different screens. Neat!
According to the gang at Engadget, who got a hands-on with the prototype, it's a solid-feeling device. It uses magnets to keep the two screens together, and is easy to fold and unfold. It takes full advantage of the latest version of Android to use all that screen real estate.
Of course, having a fold-out phone like this adds to the thickness of the device when closed, which is a major consideration if you wear tight pants. But I wouldn't be too surprised to see this come out in some form or another in the not-too-distant future. What do you think, would you consider a form factor like this?

I don't really know if Lindsay Lohan had an asthma attack at 30,000 feet, or whether she spent two hours in an LA emergency room or had to be admitted for treatment, because the news reports are conflicting and unclear as of this writing. But I do know that millions of Americans suffer acute asthma attacks every year (11 million during each year between 1997 and 2004), and that they often require emergency room treatment (1.8 million asthma ER visits for each year between 2001 and 2003) and hospitalization (an average of 500,000 hospital admissions each year). Worse yet, there were about 4,200 deaths from asthma each year between 2001 and 2003. Those alarming statistics come from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
What these numbers mean is that a lot of people depend on albuterol-based rescue inhalers to treat their acute asthma symptoms (as well as people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD). And on May 30, 2008, the FDA issued a public health advisory to inform rescue inhaler users that they must switch from CFC-containing inhalers to the more environmentally friendly HFA inhalers by year's end, because the former will no longer be sold as of January 1, 2009. Because this changeover is so important, I've written about it before – and HealthTalk produced a webcast about it as well: Planning Ahead to Replace Banned Asthma Inhalers.
The older inhalers contained chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to propel the albuterol from the inhaler into your lungs. It was discovered many years ago, however, that CFCs are bad for the ozone layer in the atmosphere, and because of this their use was banned in just about everything but asthma inhalers. Now the law is finally being expanded to prevent the sale of CFC-containing inhalers beginning in 2009. They are to be replaced with inhalers containing a chemical propellant called hydrofluroalkane (HFA), which does not deplete the ozone. Already, there are three approved HFA-propelled albuterol inhalers: Proair, Proventil and Ventolin. In addition, an HFA-propelled inhaler containing levalbuterol, a medicine similar to albuterol, is available as Xopenex HFA Inhalation Aerosol.
According to the FDA, "HFA-propelled albuterol inhalers may taste and feel different than the CFC-propelled albuterol inhalers. Notably, the force of the spray of an HFA-propelled inhaler may feel softer than that of a CFC-propelled inhaler. It is important to prime and clean the HFA propelled inhalers to prevent blockage in the inhaler device that will prevent the medicine from reaching the lungs. Each HFA-propelled inhaler has different priming, cleaning and drying instructions. Therefore, it is important to read and understand the instructions that come with each of the HFA-propelled albuterol inhalers before using." You can read the entire FDA public health advisory, National Transition from Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) Propelled Albuterol Inhalers to Hydrofluroalkane (HFA) Propelled Albuterol Inhalers.
If you haven't made the transition from CFC- to HFA-propelled albuterol inhalers, you need to make a doctor's appointment now. Don't wait until it's too late and your doctor is backed up and the pharmacy's run out of new inhalers, which may happen towards year end.

Mardy Fish hopes to play full schedule in return
Mardy Fish hopes to put together a complete tournament schedule for the rest of 2013, including the three remaining Grand Slam events, after he ends a six-month absence brought on by a heart condition.
Off the tour since September, the former top-10 player plans to return to competition at the hard-court event in Indian Wells, Calif., which begins March 7, followed by the Key Biscayne, Fla., tournament, which starts March 20.
"And then, after that, we'll re-evaluate, but he has every intention of playing a full schedule the rest of the year," Fish's agent, John Tobias, said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
"It's definitely been a long road back for him. He's had his ups and downs. But he's beginning to really get his confidence back," Tobias said. "It's all a process. He's working out every day, for three to four hours a day. He's excited to get back on the court and be on the tour and be back with his buddies."
The 31-year-old Fish wrote on his Twitter feed this week: "For those of you wondering when I'm going to play again... Indian Wells will be my first one back. Thanks for all the love."
All told, it's been nearly a full year of treatment and recovery for the American, who went to be checked by doctors after a match at Key Biscayne in late March 2012, because his heart started racing uncontrollably that night. He pulled out of the U.S. Davis Cup team's matches the following week.
In May, doctors induced extreme palpitations to try to pinpoint the problem in Fish's heart. He returned to the tour at Wimbledon in June.
But then Fish withdrew from the U.S. Open in early September on doctor's advice, hours before he was scheduled to face Roger Federer in the fourth round. A third-round victory over Gilles Simon that went five sets in New York was Fish's most recent tournament action.
Fish, who reached a career-best ATP ranking of No. 7 in 2011, is No. 32 this week.
He is scheduled to play top-ranked Novak Djokovic in California next Monday in an exhibition match to benefit the Mardy Fish Foundation.

Since 2002 IIZT has helped many brands perform better online and attract customers online and offline. We were the first in Holland to use social media in a commercial way. Proud to have done the first Dutch campaign on Facebook. It was for Durex. We helped KLM to spin the sentiments using social media. And we helped many fashion brands to translate their brand in a storyline online that gave the right engagement. Our inspiration can be found in projects like Respectance and hart.volgers where we use new media to help people with real needs. Relevance is our middle name, and engagement is how we do it.
Our specialties and broadest experience can be found in fashion, health, food and services.
When our clients asked us how we could tell them what would work online, we felt the challenge. So many companies and "gurus" have stories to tell, but how much is true? In 2011 we started our weekly research among over 70 worldwide brands. We called it the Social War. Who's performing best? How do they do it? What can others learn from it? It ain't a moment we measure, it's the ongoing nature of our research. You can subscribe to our findings. We love to share things.
On a regular basis you can find our articles in the Emerce, adformatie and Textilia magazine and online. We most often publish about our Social War findings. On our site we publish even more. Since we believe that you have to stay up to date and clients should feel comfortable with our ideas and way of looking at the current and future world of communication.

You Docs: Fructose a hidden sugar shocker
If sour news about added fructose - the sugary menace that messes with your liver, boosts blood pressure and stiffens arteries - has you reading nutrition labels to uncover where it's hiding, you've got the right idea, but labels don't make it easy to figure out the amount of sugars added to foods. Sugars may be labeled as everything from fructose to agave nectar, dextrose or cane crystals. And although health advocates are calling for better labeling, we don't think you should wait to start removing added sugars and sugar syrups - such as high-fructose corn syrup - from your pantry and your plate. They have no health benefit, and data show they are almost always bad for your long-term health.
Fructose, found in high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar, as well as in brown sugar, honey, maple syrup and trendy "alternative" sweeteners including agave syrup and turbinado sugar, taxes your body because liver cells process fructose and turn excess fructose into fat. That wasn't a problem 50 years ago, when we picked up a smidge of fructose from fruit, vegetables and the occasional slice of pie. Today, we consume four to five times more.
The new fructose fall-out:
A fat-choked liver. An overload of fructose is a big reason more than 30 percent of adults in North America have built-up fat in the liver - triggering liver disease and cirrhosis. A fructose overload zaps energy the liver needs to filter your blood and build essential proteins.
Blood-pressure boost. Downing 2½ cans of fructose-drenched soda a day increases your risk of high blood pressure by up to 77 percent, a major cause of stroke, heart attack, memory loss, wrinkles and impotence.
Ready to ditch this shocking sugar?
Switch to sugar-free sips. Steering clear of sodas and other sugar-sweetened beverages - such as fruit-juice drinks, sweet teas and bottled smoothies - could cut 40 percent of added sweeteners from your diet.
Consider fruit your dessert. Fruit's sweetness comes in part from fructose, but the quantities are small (a cup of blackberries has 3.5 grams, a small apple about 9 grams), and the fiber helps keep blood sugar lower and steadier.
If you just can't kick sugar cold turkey, spread out a max of 20 grams (about three teaspoons) of pure cane sugar over the course of a day. And don't eat anything with more than 4 grams per serving of any added sugar or consume more than 4 grams of added sugar in any hour.
Got diabetes? Reclaim your fit self
Not since the early 1980s, when Jane Fonda barked out "Feel the burn!" has there been so much interest in exercise intensity. With the epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes (there's 25 million and 79 million of each in the U.S. alone), it's time to revisit that intensity with an innovative exercise routine that helps you move it, lose it, and prevent and control diabetes.
Just 2.5 minutes of concentrated effort, followed by a protracted cool down, burns an extra 200 calories a day. Even if you have diabetes and are out of shape, 12 weeks of regular exercise can up your fitness level 40 percent and get your blood-sugar levels into line.
We love a walking routine that takes you through a fast pace (say 130 steps a minute) followed by 10-15 minutes of a steady stride of 100 steps per minute. You also can follow that pattern while cycling, jogging and swimming.
Want more immediate results? Combine your new exercise routine with Dr. Oz's 90/10 kick-start plan for weight loss: For 1 week, make your diet 90 percent veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts, beans and whole grains; the remaining 10 percent from lean protein, low-fat dairy and healthy oils. Losing 10 percent of your body weight can normalize glucose levels and reduce your risk of diabetes, prediabetes and all those related complications.

Hall of Fame for Great Americans
Hall of Fame for Great Americans, national shrine, on the campus of Bronx Community College of the City Univ. of New York, Bronx, New York City; est. 1900. The Hall of Fame, a 630-ft (192-m) colonnade resting on a corridor above a terrace, was instituted by New York Univ. Chancellor Henry M. MacCracken from a $250,000 donation by philanthropist Helen Gould Shepard. Fifty outstanding Americans, selected by the 100-member College of Electors (with at least one member from each state), were initially honored; five people were to be added each fifth year. This plan, however, has not been followed with any efficient regularity. Of the 102 Americans now honored in the Hall of Fame, 98 are represented by bronze busts and commemorative plaques in the colonnade.

Rapids Marlon Hairston called into U.S. U-23 camp
Marlon Hairston just got an all-expenses-paid trip to the Bahamas.
The 20-year-old Rapids midfielder, however, will be there on business. He was called in to the United States Under-23 training camp in Nassau, which runs from Aug. 3 to 7.
A source indicated that defender Shane O'Neill and midfielder Dillon Serna were also initially selected, but were released in order to participate in the inaugural Chipotle Homegrown game, Aug. 4 in Portland.
Hairston, the No. 12 overall pick in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft, and homegrown players Serna and O'Neill were all called in to a U-21 camp in Carson, California in April.
"It shows the talent we have in this age group, and we're proud that they're earning these chances," Rapids VP of Soccer Operations Paul Bravo said of Hairston, O'Neill and Serna in a news release.
U.S. senior national team assistant coaches Tab Ramos and Andi Herzog, goalkeeper coach Chris Woods and U-18 head coach Javier Perez are running the camp in the Bahamas, which aims to build some cohesion in the group ahead of qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. The camp also includes an Aug. 6 match against the Bahamian senior national team.
Hairston has appeared in 15 of the Rapids 21 matches this season, including five starts. The former University of Louisville product has one assist on the season.

Hey there,
Down in New Zealand, we've made what we think is the greatest backyard wicket. A 2 and a half minute time lapse video was put together of us preparing the pitch for the seasons play (notice minimal crease wear...we're now down through the dust/clay and starting to find rocks coming through haha).
Anyway, you can download a shortene version of the video here:
http://pharnos.orcon.net.nz/random/b...et%20small.mpg <--- 14MB version
2 version in there - 2MB and 14MB (2MB is only 30secs long, just a taster for those without fast internet)
Grab it! it's well worth it! I copied the National Bank series of cricket adverts that are played down here on TV in New Zealand - it's so fitting.
Cheers all, keep the backyard cricket going!

4th of July
In our huge extended family, the 4th of July is the best holiday ever. We load up the lobster boats with kids and dogs and food and head out to a nearby island for a lobster bake. Though it can be blistering hot during the day, it is always cold heading home across the bay. I made this hat up years ago, and one year made 9 during the day....slightly obsessed.
Let it be said I have no wits for commerce...I just give things away. My most miserable times as a Girl Scout were the Cookie Drives... So here you have it, the 4th of July Hat all mixed up in this post I'm afraid.

I'd really like to try this hat but I'm a new knitter. I've done other caps so I've worked in the round and understand decreasing but I can't figure out from the chart how to decease down to 5 loops.
Could someone please explain this to me? If the PDF file explains it better I'd love to have a copy. rfh2001 at [spammer-trap-remove-this] earthlink dot net.

"Gary is our starting quarterback. He is the guy that has earned the job and earned the right to be in the game, and certainly nothing I saw from him made me feel like I should make any change." -- Rutgers Coach Kyle Flood on Quarterback Gary NovaWas Kyle Flood watching a different game? Gary Nova looked scared, was throwing off his back foot all night, and should have thrown six interceptions rather than one -- if the Virginia Tech defensive backs had any hands.
Wasn't Kyle Flood on the sideline during last year's Pinstripe Bowl during which Greg Schiano's switch to Chas Dodd helped lead to a victory over Iowa State? (I would have loved to have heard Greg Schiano's thoughts as he watched from his box in the Citrus Bowl last night.)
I feel very sorry for a defense full of seniors who played a brilliant game against Virginia Tech, scoring a touchdown, holding the Hokies scoreless for three quarters (until a Nova interception set up the first score in the fourth), and keeping them out of the endzone in OT when the Hokies had a first down at the three. Khaseem Greene and crew are a great defense who deserved just a little bit of support on the other side of the ball.

In today's class, the first presentation regarding Ireland and nationalism framed the subsequent presentations and discussions adequately. Michelle suggested in her presentation that Joyce's work contrasted with the notion that nationalism is part of a natural progression following colonialism and decolonialisation. Joyce's work instead presents nationalism as an assertion of individuality which is a culmination of various factors. The final slide of the 2nd presentation suggested a reading of Joyce as anti-modernist, if the term modernist is grounded in the philosophies of John Locke and David Hume (that took up some time). One of the points raised was how the history of modernity is longer than the time frame occupied by modernism, and it is necessary not to conflate modernism with modernity. Conflation came up again in the later discussions, this time concerning the figure of Daedalus and Stephen.
I proposed an explanation of the problematic quote based on the understanding that Hume and Locke are empiricists, a field of philosophy that suggests observations as the primary source of knowledge and hence the self, developed through knowledge, is constituted of observations.In Joyce however the observable cannot constitute the individual due to the indeterminacy of language that is used to record such observations. The example of the tundish was cited by Kin Yan(?). In that sense then, Joyce would be anti-modernist IF we defined the term according to the philosophies of the two philosophers.
I think conflation as a problem arose because of the nature of modernism and the text discussed today. One example used in class today was regarding the epiphany as used in Joyce's work, part of Praseeda's presentation. Stephen's epiphanies contrast with Woolfian (Virginia) epiphanies, for example, in that instead of a unity of the self with the world around him, Stephen in fact becomes more distant. While observing the girl wading in the sea, he feels that she represents all women and acknowledges the sexual feelings that accompany his observation. At the same time he distances himself from the people who experience those feelings, privileging instead her association to Ireland. The distinction Stephen makes expresses a desire to move away from conflating perspectives, choosing instead to set himself apart as an artist exiled from the larger framework of society.
In another example, it was suggested that Stephen perhaps conflates the figure of Icarus and Daedalus, and tries to straddle the position of inventor – or the "brains", and the user, – the "blonde".
Links to other weeks and texts:
Conflation arises as a prominent issue in discussing modernism in other texts like Orwell's "Shooting An Elephant". In this text, it has been suggested in previous classes that there is a conflation of identities in the reluctant colonialist: on one hand he is required to perform his role as colonizer, but it conflicts with his individual beliefs and identity. The conflation of the two areas produces responses to colonialism that emphasise its complexities, rather than a valorization and exoticization of the colonial enterprise, or an outright disparaging of the process. To link this to modernist concerns, the problems with identity and nationalism point to the crisis of knowledge and representation.

so 5:0 for DJI talking about features

clear my sum up: gopro karma is taking the win.

Cancer Research
As one of the many ways the American Cancer Society helps save lives, they dedicate millions of dollars each year to research and professional training and are the largest source of private, nonprofit cancer research funds in the United States.
Since 1946, the Society has invested more than $3.4 billion in research to help understand cancer's causes, determine how best to prevent it, and discover new ways to cure it. A nationwide competition and rigorous external peer review ensures that only the most promising research is funded.
The Society's research program is unique in that it most often funds investigators at the beginning of their research careers, at a time when they are less likely to receive funding from the federal government. In this way, the Society's research program plays a crucial role in cultivating the next generation of cancer researches. The Society's priorities also focus on needs that are unmet by other funding organizations, such as funding for the current targeted research area of cancer in the poor and under served.
Since 1971, the number of cancer survivors alive today, now 10.8 million, has more than tripled and the 5-year survivorship rate is now 66%. Much of this success can be attributed to research. Each year since 1990, new cancer case rates and death rates from cancer have declined.
Here are some of the major accomplishments of ACS funded research
1946 to present -- Funded 42 Nobel Prize winners early in their careers.
1946 -- Research program begins with $1 million raised by Mary Lasker-- $2.5 billion has been raised since the inception of the research program.
1946 -- Wendell Stanley, PhD, becomes the first Society-funded researcher to win the Nobel Prize (for crystallizing a virus).
1954 -- The American Cancer Society's Hammond-Horn study shows the first link between smoking and lung cancer.
1959 -- First cancer prevention study (CPS I) is launched. Data from this study and the subsequent 1982 study involves two million people and has been used in more than 100 other research studies. CPS-3 will follow half a million participants to identify factors that may cause cancer and will be the largest analysis of its kind in the United States.
1970 -- The first cancer-causing gene, or oncogene, is identified by American Cancer Society grantee Peter Vogt, MD, in a chicken tumor virus.
1973 -- Society-funded Paul Berg, PhD, clones the first gene (Nobel Prize in 1980).
1974 -- Society-funded V. Craig Jordan, PhD, shows that tamoxifen can prevent breast cancer in rats by binding to the estrogen receptor.
1990s -- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test for screening and early detection of prostate cancer is developed by Society-funded T. Ming Chu, PhD.
1991 -- Society-funded research shows that young children recognize Joe Camel as easily as Mickey Mouse, demonstrating that the cartoon character reaches an audience well under the legal smoking age.
2000 -- Former Society grantee Brian Druker, MD, reports stunning success in treating chronic myelogenous leukemia with a molecularly targeted pill called Gleevec (manufactured by Novartis).
2003 -- American Cancer Society researchers, led by Eugenia Calle, PhD, conclude that overweight and obesity contribute to most types of cancer and could account for 14% of cancers in men and 20% of cancers in women.
2006 -- For the first time in history, the actual number of cancer deaths in the United States declined, thanks in large part to the American Cancer Society's groundbreaking work in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment.

Press Release
Relay for Life Set for Friday and Saturday April 17 & 18 at Janssen Park
According to Gina Lawry, Chair of the Polk County Relay for Life, "The 2009 American Cancer Society Polk County Relay for Life is set for Friday and Saturday April 17 & 18 at Janssen Park in Mena, beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday and ending with a closing ceremony Saturday morning at 10 a.m."
"This community event is open to the public and there will be live entertainment, food vendors, information booths, fun activities and more," noted Lawry.
"Approximately 350 people have signed up and formed 28 teams from all across the county to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.
They will be working together to increase cancer awareness through their fundraising activities and one person from each team will walk in the relay around Janssen Park for the entire event - from Friday night until Saturday morning," she added.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life® is a life-changing event that brings together more than 3.5 million people across the country each year to celebrate the lives of those who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that takes too much.
According to Co-chair Richie Lawry, "Money raised through Relay for Life has two purposes; to fund cancer research and to provide at no charge a variety of cancer related programs and services to patients and those affected by cancer."
"Last year's Polk County Relay raised over $60,000 and this year's goal is $64,000," he noted.
For information about cancer, access the American Cancer Society's (ACS) website at www.cancer.org or call the 24-hour toll-free number, 1-800-ACS-2345.

What's your feeling on purchasing the extended warranty and service contracts? I live close to a service center so I won't require the ranger service, however $6300 for the extended warranty and 8 years of service seems steep. The car seems pretty maintenance free to me. Do you think these would have value if I sold the car in 2-3 years. Love the car no problems, bought it outright, however I'm use to leasing cars the past 15 years. Thanks
I purchased the 8 years of service.
I'm going to wait until year four to buy the extended warranty which should cover headlights, door handle motors, mirror moters, window motors, inverter, electric motor, etc.
Just my point of view.
Thanks for your thoughts. Now with the announcement that yearly service isn't required to maintain the warranty. It is more puzzling

Blessed are those who are been chosen
To listen to the words coming down from heaven
Whose hearts and mind are wide open
Happy are those who accept the truth coming from the Father
What is more precious than his words
An everlasting treasure which cannot be stolen from our heart
This world fades away before its majesty
It deserves to be revered highly
Blessed are those whom you choose O Lord
Everlasting is the covenant of your love
Before your throne my head I will bow
Jesus at your feet I will become low
Hallelujah is the song I will sing for you
You are the one who saints and angels adore
I will love you more and more
In you I will live life long.

|No events
This is the new day,
Let us sing a new song in his glory,
All our life, Let's seek his beauty,
For his honor let's finish faithfully our duty.
More than anything, I will praise him,
Worshiping him is best of best thing.
All my being will sing and rejoice in him,
Cause my Lord have saved me from my sin
In his Glory forever I will live,
I am earning wealth which no one can steal,
Jesus is my health, wealth and prosperity,
I don't want anything else, cause I have Jesus as my King.
All hail be to my Jesus,
Throne of our praises belongs to our Lord,
He is the mighty one and our humble God.
Who can recall all that he does for us all day long.

Take this as a warning BMW enthusiasts. Discovery Automotive was able to create a good reputation for themselves on M5board where they profited from exposure in cleaning up RMS mistakes. Shadowman, Bill of Discovery Automotive, was able to force his way into the lucrative high-end BMW tuning scene through the easiest route available, which is taking advantage of M5 owners. To be honest, we fell for this as well seeing Discovery Automotive take great care in posting their builds to give the appearance of a high end shop only for horror stories to start to surface.
What happened in this particular instance is that Bill took a car that was under his care, a twin turbo Ford GT, and went out to a spot known to the locals as a "drag strip" and abused the car resulting in losing control and wrecking it. Bill, William E. Knobloch, would begin to distort the truth attempting to skirt responsibility for what happened. What happened was he behaved irresponsibly with an immensely powerful vehicle that did not belong to him and wrecked it playing around like some teenager who couldn't control himself. Feel free to read the whole story in quotes below.
Take this as a warning when sending your car to a tuner or who you are using as your tuner. This isn't the only tuner who has behaved irresponsibly with a car under their care. How many of them go out under the guise of "testing" only to race around with someone else's property? Well, at least we all know that Discovery Automotive is one tuner BMW fans can cross off the list, permanently.

thats nuts. Old geezer too.
tuning with a boost gauge in the passenger seat....I have the common sense to not try that LOL
On some porsches I used to stick a hose out of the hood with a gauge on it and put it under the wiper blade, but hey, at least the gauge was in my face where I could see it and watch the road at the same time....not down in the seat next to me.
He looked at me and said "Ray, I could tell you what really happened but I will never tell you what really happened, I can't..."

This is horrible! It is a shameful situation and SM doesnt seem to have any sense of shame....... Good Bye DA! I know i wont ever defend them after this.
What a huge tool. And he has the audacity to put that car on his home page with a description of what he's "going to do to it."
Jesus Christ, that is the most sickening story I have ever heard. This Shadowman douchebag should be strung up for this.
I cannot believe the composure of the victim in this series of events. Wow, he is handling himself very well. I could fathom how I would react.
Would you let a guy who doesn't know how to spell the word "lightning" work on your $180,000 car?
And endlessly referring to cars as "gals" is creepy. as. $#@!.

Nixon to Reinstate Expired Public Safety Exemptions
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - An expired exemption from the Missouri Sunshine Law had Governor Jay Nixon calling for a change today so information doesn't get into the wrong hands.
Nixon was joined by state and local law enforcement officials and leaders of the Missouri School Boards' Association to call for the reinstatement of important public safety exemptions to Missouri's Sunshine Law, which expired Dec. 31. The exemptions were originally passed in 2001 after the September 11th attacks.
Nixon wants to prevent security plans and procedures that protect facilities such as courthouses, hospitals, and schools from being misused because he believes these records could be used to plan attacks on the public.
"These provisions represent a proven and balanced approach to keeping security plans out of the hands of criminals and terrorists while respecting the bedrock principles of transparency and accountability," said Nixon.
While Nixon believes in the need for exemptions, anti-secrecy advocates worry they will be misused.
"We struggle, and continue to struggle, with people using these exemptions broadly to protect information that's not really about security plans," MU Journalism Professor Charles Davis. Davis said one example of this is "getting any sort of information from Homeland Security at the state level about funding."
Nixon urged the legislature to move quickly and wants a bill on his desk as soon as possible.

Lisa D'Amato Gossip on Buzzfeed (Oct 2013)
October 10, 2013
In October of 2013, Buzzfeed.com posted a piece regarding Cycle 5's Lisa D'Amato's newborn. Here is the text from the online post (written and posted by Buzzfeed's Alex Rees):

"Top Model" Winner Lisa D'Amato Sharing Placenta Smoothies With Fellow Former Contestants
This is up there with peeing in a diaper on the crazy scale.
Lisa D'Amato, winner* of America's Next Top Model's All Star cycle, recently gave birth to her first child.
*Likely be default, after whatever behind-the-scenes drama screwed over rightful champ Angelea Preston. #neverforget.
And she's now making placenta smoothies.
D'Amato tweeted this photo along with the hashtag "#controversial."
The above smoothies were a "his and hers" pair for D'Amato and her husband. But she's made more for her close friends too!
She recently uploaded an Instagram shot of another Top Model alum, cycle 6 runner-up Joanie Dodds, posing with her newborn and her very own placenta smoothie. What a treat! (There's also some guy but he's not been on Top Model so, let's be honest, isn't particularly important.)
This Instagram photo's caption: "who's next?"
And the only right answer: ICONIC TOP MODEL VILLAINESS JADE COLE. Or Tyra herself.

Lisa D'Amato Interview with Out.com (Jan 2010)
June 21, 2010
In January of 2010, Out.com interviewed Cycle 5's Lisa D'Amato to catch up on her career since Top Model. Here is the text from the interview (written and posted by Out Staff):
Where Are They Now: Top Model – Lisa D'Amato
1. What have you been up to since you were on the show?
Since the show I have been persistent with my music — writing and performing my songs. I don't know if you'll remember my song "Ace of Spades," which was super silly, and premiered on PerezHilton.com. It received over a million views in a week and was one of YouTube's most viewed videos of that week. (Pat on the back!) I've worked, performed, and collaborated with some really amazing people in the music industry. I've opened for and performed with Mickey Avalon, Shwayze, Hyper Crush, LMFAO, 30h!3, Ultraviolet Sound, Dirt Nasty, Andre Legacy, Beardo, Cisco Adler, Pepper, etc. I've had songs on the radio in L.A. and on HBO's show Entourage. I have a very high-energy live performance show with my DJ, DJ IVY, where I make all the performance costumes and choreograph the dance moves. SinceANTM, I've been signed to two record labels: Kortis Records, which was the U.S. division, and also Banana Beat Records which was an imprint through Suretone/Interscope. I'm unsigned (once again) but hoping third time will be the charm. I'm working with Warner Chappell publishing at the moment and working with some fresh new up and coming producers. In the mean time, I filmed VH1's Celebrity Rehab 3 with Dr. Drew, which comes out in January. I was a good candidate for the show because I was exploited on TV, drinking and being silly, so I got the opportunity to learn more about drugs and alcohol as well as learn more about myself with therapy with Dr. Drew. I hope that people can be as inspired by this show as I was! There is nothing wrong with self-betterment! Also, I'm one of MySpace's music artists that they believe in and promote contractually. My new video for my song "GRIND" produced by DJ Lethal (Limp Bizkit, Everlast) is on MySpace, and the song is available on iTunes and Rhapsody now. You can also get my song "Trainwreck" on iTunes as well. Check out my other songs on MySpace.com/LisaDamato. I believe in my lyrics and music and hope to be a true innovator in the music industry. If you want to check out my videos go to YouTube.com/DaModel69. And last but not least, if you want to read the truth that I write daily go to: Twitter.com/LisaDamato.
2. Do you think the show accurately portrays the life of a model?
ANTM absolutely DOES NOT portray the life of a real model. It does the best it can, seeing that it's a TV show, but not at all. I lived in tiny model apartments in New York, Milan, and Australia to name a few, with three or four models at a time. It's soooo much more tragic in real life.
3. What was your favorite challenge?
My favorite challenge was the boot camp one where we all had to get dirty. I knew these bitches were gonna bitch and complain and I would excel — which I did — and I won! I never have and never will back down to hard work or getting dirty!
4. What was your least favorite challenge?
I didn't have a least favorite challenge because I knew this industry like the back of my hand. I had been modeling for 12 years already (which went unmentioned on the show). I had traveled the whole world and done amazing modeling jobs with some amazing designers and photographers as well as being in plenty of national commercials.
5. Give us a little dirt on Tyra: Is she as nurturing as she appears? Or what was your favorite memory?
Oh Tyra…. I will always appreciate her for creating the opportunity where I was able to gain exposure in this cutthroat business — even though I was just one of her trained little monkeys. That being said, I think Tyra is totally insane! I remember in Return to Oz there was a witch that had a closet of hundreds of different heads. She's like that — LOL — wigs included. I don't know Tyra. I only saw her when the rest of world did, too. Tyra, Tyra, Tyra! Upstage her and she will bring her voodoo on you. Hahahaha!
6. Who was the biggest villain on your season?
I was! (J.K.) If you noticed, I never talked shit about anyone behind their backs, I said it to their faces. That is not a villain. A backstabber is a villain in my book and that goes for the rest of my season. When I watched it on TV I was sooo hurt. Kim [Stolz] especially.
7. Who is your favorite supermodel?
Supermodels aren't like they used to be. Back when I knew all their names and it was my work and I paid attention I'd say Laetitia Casta, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Krissy Taylor (Nikki Taylor's little sis — R.I.P.), Carla Bruni.
8. What is your favorite fashion trend right now?
My favorite fashion trend is never doing what anyone else does. Ed Hardy, Coach, Louis V — they all make me want to throw up! I like mixing all types of weird shit and doing something different. But — I gotta have my hoop earrings on. Hahaha!
9. What is your least favorite trend right now?
See above. All mass produced crap makes me want to vomit!
10. What's the biggest misconception about models/modeling that you'd like to clear up?
I think people think modeling is easy. It is — kinda — but it so tedious and takes sooo long. But, otherwise, all the conceptions are true! Models suck! They think they are cooler then they are, they loose sight of what to strive for, and they depend on their looks. I can't stand models most of the time. I always did modeling to escape from my life and to travel. At times I totally sucked also! When someone says they want to model and they aren't 12 or 14 but 20 or 23, I usually don't want to talk to them anymore. LOL.

I agree with the comments that state "good not great" - "too crunchy" and "needs something." I added chopped kalamata olives and 2 garlic cloves and we were still not overly impressed (although it looks great going in and out of the oven). I used whole wheat pasta as well. I will not make this again.
Nov 14, 2011
Yes, I would make this again- but with several adjustments. My family and I felt it was too creamy- I think not adding the flour/milk mixture would help. I also used wheat pasta and though it was meant as a joke from a previous reviewer, next time I will add olives and feta instead of mozzerella! Just needs some more flavor.
May 22, 2010
Recipe can stand further "tweaking". I used whole wheat pasta, fat free mayo and sour cream. Worked well and kept the great taste.
May 13, 2010
"Good, but not great" were the remarks from my family. Next time, I would boil the onions, celery, and green pepper with the noodles. They were a bit too crunchy in the dish.
Mar 27, 2010
Love it. Even my picky kids.
Apr 15, 2009
This is delicious! Restaurant-quality yet not expensive to make. It makes plenty for a group, or serve it up in individual containers and freeze it to enjoy another day!
Apr 14, 2009
can you give me the calories in these light dishes. I am on Weight Watchers and love your receipes from the old books in 98 & 2007
Aug 4, 2008
WHAT!!!! No Feta?!! NO Olives?!!NO CAPERS??!!!(Relax, I'm being obnoxious.)It just seems that every recipe I come across with Mediterranean flavors "has to have" Feta, olives, and capers lately...
Aug 4, 2008
Looks good! I'm gonna try it.

A tribute to the innovation at the heart of the SG with automated tuners.
The 2013 SG Future Tribute captures the look, feel, and tone of the guitar world' most legendary double-cutaway solidbody, and equips it for the player of the future, while making it available today. Primed for optimum playability and versatility, the SG Future Tribute carries a pair of œzebra-coil ™57 Classic humbucking pickups for a blend of vintage warmth and contemporary articulation, along with a superbly comfortable custom asymmetrical neck profile. Gibson' acclaimed bridge and tailpiece team up with futuristic Steinberger gearless tuners to ensure smooth playability and precise tuning and intonation.
This SG Future Tribute comes upgraded with Min-ETune automated œrobot tuners. The SG Future Tribute looks great in a choice of colors, all Vintage Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer.
The SG Future Tribute takes the classic platform of the original SG Standards forward into the 21st century. Built in the image of the legendary SG Standards, the SG Future Tribute starts with a foundation of solid mahogany, a tonewood with a long tradition at Gibson. A solid mahogany body is crafted in the distinctive, thin asymmetrical dual-cutaway style, with iconic pointed œhorns and beveled edges to enhance playing comfort. A solid mahogany neck is glued into the body in Gibson' time-tested tradition and carved to an ergonomic and superbly comfortable new asymmetrical profile that fits the natural shape of the human hand, with depths of .800 at the 1st fret and .875 at the 12th, making this one of the most playable SGs yet created. It is topped with a genuine rosewood fingerboard that carries 24 medium-jumbo frets to maximize the playing reach of the SG style, along with traditional trapezoid inlays.
In keeping with the stripped-down ethos of this powerful performer, both body and ™board remain unbound, and there' no pickguard to obscure the finish. A PLEK-cut nut made from black Corian subtly complements the knurled chrome knobs and black pickup rings. The headstock is silkscreened with gold Gibson and holly logos.
The SG Future Tribute ensures its sonic versatility and hot looks with a pair of zebra-coil humbucking pickups, consisting of a standard-wound ™57 Classic humbucker in the neck position and a slightly over-wound ™57 Classic Plus in the bridge position for hotter lead tones. The ™57 Classics recreate Gibson' esteemed PAF humbuckers by using genuine Alnico 2 magnets and 42-AWG enamel-coated wire. They are also enhanced with evenly matched coils for a smooth, singing tone, and wax potting to combat microphonic squeal at high volume levels. The result is a pickup that is thick, rich, and warm, yet clear and articulate"perfect for the broad demands of today' music. The traditional wiring complement of an independent volume and tone control per pickup plus a three-way toggle selector switch allows a broad range of sonic variations.
To anchor it all down, Gibson USA loads in a classic tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, then rams it all into the future with a set of super-efficient Steinberger gearless tuners, a hardware set that partners up for solid sustain and precision tuning. Put it all together, and the SG Future Tribute presents the perfect celebration of the SG for the 21st century, wrapping it all into a great guitar that brings the look, feel, and sound of a contemporary SG to the hands of the demanding players of today, and tomorrow.
Each guitar includes a black Gibson gig bag, owner' manual and truss rod wrench.

Here's a quick peek at the necklaces I made yesterday. It was a lot of fun to make until I got to the last necklace and dropped it THREE times while I was trying to close up the ends. Beads all over the table, floor, my clothes, not once but three times --was so annoyed. By the end I just had to push through and get it done, which was a test in patience and endurance. But I love how they look together, definitely feels summery and fresh.
Realized today that I haven't posted any new photos of my holiday mantle decor for the 4th of July holiday. Better get those taken today so I can post tomorrow. Heading out for weekend tomorrow morning and find myself completely unprepared. Laundry to do, projects to wrap up, shopping, packages to ship, packing...agh. Not happy that I let that happen. Scrambling to get things done today. I guess I should be happy that early in the week I popped in and bought a couple of new summer tops. At least I'll look good once I get there, haa-haa.
Hope you're having a great Thursday. Thanks as always for coming by.

iPad 2 who? That was so two months ago. A new report from RCRWireless claims that the iPad 3 will definitely have a 3D screen with major backing by large Hollywood film studios. Question: Glasses or no glasses?
It's a little early to be calling out rumors on the iPad 3, but sure enough, RCRWireless says a source is "dead certain" that the iPad 3 will have a 3D display because film studios are "currently running around like blue arsed flies trying to gear up to release plenty of 3D content in time for Apple's next launch." Does it make sense? Absolutely.
Apple knows its biggest strength is having content to support its hardware. Without the record companies, the iPod would have flopped. Without app developers the iPhone wouldn't have lasted. The same will go for 3D-capable devices. Without 3D content, the devices won't stand a chance. That's one of the reasons why 3D TVs are still stuck in the mud — very few good 3D movies and games to enjoy on a $3000 flat screen.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Oh and the display will probably have to be glasses-free like the 3DS and have an adjustable depth slider or else the 3D iPad 3 will run into the same "headaches" problems Nintendo's new portable has. Apple's always touted its iPad as "magical." A little 3D would actually strengthen that claim.

Three Questions about Church for the NYT
Three questions come to my mind as I read this NYT report on alternate ways to do church.
One: The title of the piece is "Building Congregations Around Art Galleries and Cafes as Spirituality Wanes." Question: Is "spirituality" waning?
Two: Here's another quote:
"It's unsettling for a movement that's lasted 2,000 years to now find that, 'Oh, some of the things we always assumed would connect with the community aren't connecting with everyone in the community in the way they used to,'" said Warren Bird, the director of research for the Leadership Network, a firm that tracks church trends.
Question: Does Warren Bird think that churches have been doing things the same way for the past 2,000 years?
Three: And one more quote:
"Every generation wants their own thing," said Houston Clark, whose company designs spaces and audiovisual systems for churches nationwide. "Kids in their late 20s to midteens now, they really crave intimacy and authenticity. They want high-quality experiences, but don't necessarily want them in huge voluminous buildings."
Question: So is that why at National Community Church, "Sunday services are held in six locations, mostly movie theaters, where the smell of Saturday night's popcorn hangs in the air as prerecorded sermons play on the big screen"? Because nothing says "intimacy and authenticity" like watching sermons on movie screens in darkened rooms that smell like popcorn?
This wasn't a hit piece by the NYT at all; nothing sneering or dismissive about it. It just made me wonder about a few things.
