LONDON -- Substitute Lukas Podolski scored with a deflected free kick to give Arsenal a much-needed 1-0 victory against Stoke in the English Premier League on Saturday.
After securing just five points in five league matches, sixth-placed Arsenal was in danger of losing ground in its quest for a European spot.
Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic had an impressive first half in which he superbly denied Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain either side of stopping Laurent Koscielny's header.
Podolski ended Stoke's hopes 12 minutes from time with a low free kick that deflected in off Geoff Cameron.
The Gunners made five changes for the match, with deadline-day signing Nacho Monreal handed his debut. The Spain international replaced injured Kieran Gibbs at left back.
Robert Huth blocked early threatening balls from Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere, before Oxlade-Chamberlain, making his first league start since January 13, struck wide.
It took 15 minutes for Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to be tested by Stoke. Jonathan Walters' strike from distance was comfortably dealt with by the Poland international, who then watched Peter Crouch's attempt deflect off Koscielny and out for a corner.
There were rare moments of relief for a Stoke side on the backfoot, with Olivier Giroud heading Abou Diaby's cross into the ground when Arsenal returned to the attack.
Andy Wilkinson then blocked a right-footed strike from Walcott and, after Ryan Shawcross sent over a wayward volley, City goalkeeper Begovic came to the fore.
First, the Bosnia international denied Oxlade-Chamberlain from close range after Wilshere's corner fell straight into his path.
Begovic prevented Arsenal once again in the 34th, denying Koscielny's header with another block.
Four minutes from the break, Wilshere played an exquisite through ball to Oxlade-Chamberlain, whose curled effort was superbly palmed wide by Begovic.
After the break, Giroud fired wide under pressure but Arsenal's attacks were becoming less frequent.
Wenger brought on Santi Cazorla and Podolski in a bid to inject new life into his side's attack, with Diaby and Oxlade-Chamberlain replaced.
The introduction of the Spaniard almost had an immediate impact as Cazorla sent in a floated cross to Giroud, but the Frenchman was unable to direct his header on target.
Glenn Whelan picked up a booking as City looked to hold off the hosts, who finally took the lead in the 78th minute.
Wilkinson received a yellow card for bringing down Walcott on the edge of the box, allowing substitute Podolski to send a low free kick that deflected in off Cameron's heel.
It had looked like the goal would be disallowed for an apparent offside against Walcott, but, after consulting with his assistant, referee Chris Foy awarded the goal.
Cazorla came close to making it 2-0 shortly afterwards, only for Begovic to get the slightest touch to send it behind.
Michael Owen, Kenwyne Jones and Cameron Jerome all came on for the final stages as Stoke manager Tony Pulis looked for an equalizer, which never came in a heated end to the game.
Shawcross was booked for a late challenge on Koscielny and Owen appeared to aim a punch at Mikel Arteta after a late challenge by the Spaniard.

Early Copy of my Book!
posted on July 3rd, 2012
Aaagggh!! I'm so excited. My publisher just sent me an early copy of my new book, Girls Get Curves: Geometry Takes Shape, and it looks so cool!! Man, even though this is my 4th book, it never gets old... After living inside my head an on my laptop for years... here it is, finally, in physical form. Total rush. It's like holding the last 2 years of my life in my hands. (I guess holding Draco is, um, like that, too!)
People might say, "But you've been staring at the cover and the pages of this book for months now!" The thing about a book is, once it's printed, it's printed. So no matter how much you think you've perfected it on your computer, there's that human element - that physical element - that gets introduced at the printing stage. Will the shade of green on the cover be printed like we thought? How will the pages look in the binding? What if some of the last typo corrections didn't get put into the book? So many little things can go wrong at this last stage. You never really know what your readers are going to see till you're holding it. And I'm happy to say that it turned out great!
Now - will there be typos that my editor and I missed somehow? Probably! But that's pretty standard fare. In fact, like always, I'll be having a contest for you guys to find those typos. Anyone who is the first to find a particular typo that is important enough to be corrected for the next printing will get a signed picture from me and a mention on the Typos page of the GGC website. (It will be GirlsGetCurves.com/typos - but it's not up quite yet.)
Speaking of the GGC website, I'd better get back to writing it. As always, I'll have ALL the problems' worked out solutions on the website, and that takes awhile to do. I just hate it when you get an answer that's different from the one in the back of the book. This way, you can see how I got that answer. Nice, right?
Thanks for all of your ongoing encouragement throughout this process.

Wow, you really are excited! That's great!
My daughter used to call your set the 'Trilogy'. What is it now? A 'Quartet' or a 'Tetrology'? 'Tetrology' sounds more 'math'!
Suffice, before long we'll have to put in the "McKellar Annex" to our own library. The shelf is getting full!

DSW Service most excellent
"I ordered the shoes for a wedding I'm in. The shoes themselves aren't as well constructed as I'd like, but will work. When I Googled the shoes so I could show a friend, I found the shoes cheaper on the manufacturer's website. Rather than just return the shoes and order from the other company, I contacted DSW and was given a credit even though it was outside the 7 days advertised. I love DSW and their customer service. It definitely increased my confidence in buying shoes online."

The news media has a tendency to report cases where workers are awarded monetary payouts, yet have acted in a morally dubious way themselves.
A case this year that gathered some attention was that of Cazna Waaka, a Wellington bus driver who told her boss to stick the job up her 'f...ing arse' after her manager reprimanded Ms Waaka for bringing her children to work and leaving them unattended in a running bus.
The case has an irony to it which drew public attention and possibly even resentment from anyone who has employed a worker before.
One would think the employer's gripe was fair. Bringing your children to a potentially dangerous workplace is at least questionable. Leaving them unattended while the bus is still running could be serious misconduct. Further, it would seem quite reasonable to have a low tolerance toward an employee that uses offensive language and is insubordinate.
Yet it was reported the Employment Relations Authority awarded Ms Waaka $10,000 when her response to her boss was to tell her to stick the job where the sun don't shine.
The account is correct and there are plenty of other cases too. The authority determined that Ms Waaka's language was 'extremely inappropriate', but also that the employer had breached its duties by failing to follow a fair process.
Two wrongs do not make a right and the employer had to pay the consequence of its wrongs - literally. The authority rejected the employer's claim that Ms Waaka's language and behaviour had repudiated the employment agreement and shown she had no intention to be bound by it.
So how did Ms Waaka get away with it? The short answer is really, that she did not and her poor behaviour prejudiced her own case. On her day in court, Ms Wakaa asked for her job back. The authority refused to make that order, because Ms Waaka's behaviour ruined any chance of a future with the manager. On top of that, she only received 50 per cent of the award for unjustified dismissal because she contributed to the situation. This reduced her payout by $4000.
So what lessons can employers learn from this? Here are five tips:
1. The courts are not naive. It is accepted that different language is used in different sections of the community.
2. However, language that threatens, provokes, insults, harasses, discriminates, insubordinates or bullies other people in the workplace, including you, is unlikely to ever be acceptable.
3. You should make it clear what standards of behaviour and language are expected. If there are no clear rules, a worker telling you to 'f..ck off' may well fall short of serious misconduct.
4. Where a conversation with a worker becomes heated, the best thing you can do is organise some time-out to let everyone settle down.
5. Regardless of what your worker has done or said, you must follow a fair process when following disciplinary procedures.
Also, be wary of suspending an employee without a fair reason, or without first following a fair process. This includes proposing the suspension, seeking the employee's comments and considering those comments.

Tallahassee Police Chief Dennis Jones will retire from his position effective October 5. Jones has served as Tallahassee's chief since May 21, 2007.
In a letter to the City Manager, dated today, Jones wrote: "It has been my honor and privilege to have served the City and its citizens as police chief for the last six years and to have worked in law enforcement for nearly 35 years, having started on October 15, 1978."
Jones wrote that it was his intention to retire from the City of Tallahassee in the spring of 2014, but he felt it was in the best interest of the Police Department and the City as a whole to retire now.
Jones stated his confidence in the men and women of the Tallahassee Police Department as they "continue to protect and serve this community with the utmost integrity and honor."

"Dennis Jones is a man of character who has served our community with passion and integrity," said City Manager Anita Favors Thompson. "We wish him the best in his retirement and appreciate his service."

I've got teacups and flowers, cloth napkins and roses on my mind today. Wouldn't an end of summer tea-in-the-garden be wonderful?
The days here in Michigan are getting shorter. Darkness is falling much sooner so we need to grab this last bit of warmth while we can.
The zinnia's are in full bloom and my white fall clemantis is just about ready for it's spectacular coming out party!
Time to bake something yummy, fill our cups with ginger peach tea and watch the dragonflies light upon the morning glory.

fan for many years and of her items that I have purchased, this postcard is one of my favorites. I have it out where I can see it and many times have thought it would make a great applique project.
It is true, dear bloggers, you are a thousand miles away and I wish that wasn't so. Can you imagine everything we would say to each other in person? Oh, the hours in a day would not be enough!
But, there are always two cups at my table...or more...for you! Have a truly blessed day!

A Good Day
It was such a comfort to know that I am not the only one who struggles with fabric measurements. But after reading
comment and printing out her list, I feel like I've been set free. I should have asked you all before, but I was a bit embarrassed. With conversions in hand, I remeasured my fabric and labeled it. Then I made up a little fabric chart and started cutting.
Needless to say, things went much smoother and I didn't have to wonder if I was cutting up the wrong fabric. Knowledge is a wonderful thing! I learned a valuable lesson too,
just ask
. I don't think I'll be working in a fabric store anytime soon though, who knows what I'd cut for a customer!
With too many fresh blueberries on hand I decided to start the day with blueberry pancakes. My daughter had a good buddy sleep over so they really enjoyed the overabundance of fruit.
I'm dropping off my sewing machine to be serviced today. I feel like I'm dropping off my child at Kindergarten with all my separation anxiety. It's been running so slow that soon enough it will be faster to hand-sew (ugh!). Hopefully I'll get alot of fabric cut today. Have a wonderful day!

True Confessions
It's almost 1:00am and I've been tossing and turning in bed for almost an hour. I've been having a conversation with myself along the lines of this:
- Take the car in for an oil change first thing
- That means you have to get up at 7:30
- Maybe you should stop tossing and turning and try to get that 6 1/2 hours of sleep
- Call Doctor and ask about headaches
- Maybe if you'd get some sleep you wouldn't have headaches
- Why didn't I learn to read a ruler in grade school?
- Was I sick that day?
- Was it chicken pox?
- I bet it was a boy
- David with the big beautiful eyes
- I'm 48 for crying out loud
So, the most logical thing to do is to get up and google "how to read a ruler" which lands me on a site called "The Ruler Game". This is the first paragraph before the
test. Yeah right.
"Reading a ruler is a valuable skill that you will likely use on your job, in your hobbies, and in your personal every day life. Without measuring devices like rulers, and people that can read them, we would still be living in caves."
I think I've just been insulted.
I managed to live quite a long time without this skill (in my comfy cave) until I started quilting. So a few years back I confessed my shortcoming to a good friend who sat me down with a ruler. I get the whole inch thing. My problem is what is 5/8 of a yard? 7/8 of a yard? It's those darn 8th's.
When you don't buy the
fabric the pattern calls for and then you don't cut it out right away, you forget which fabric you chose for the 5/8 yd. AND this is what keeps a quilter up at night because I'm not cutting into that beautiful stack of fabric just to mess it up. So, I'm asking you dear blogger friends to help me on this. I will be forever grateful... goodnight...
Humbly yours,

Sunday Scripture
"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom
and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?
Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay him?
For from him and through him and to him
are all things.
To him be the glory forever!"

Amanda & Rajiv's Indian Wedding
This past Thursday marked the beginning of four days of wedding festivities for my friend Nancy. Her daughter, Amanda, is marrying Rajiv and I was about to experience my first Indian wedding. Thursday began with the traditional henna party and Amanda (shown above) had her hands and palms done and we could participate as well. Once the henna drys, it is removed and the design underneath has stained the skin. It is then an orange/rust color.
This is my daughter who opted to have a design on her shoulder and one on her hand. I let her talk me into getting my hand done as well.
Friday night found us at Amanda's Father's lake house for the Indian wedding ceremony. Rajiv is brought across the lake on a boat playing festive music with family dancing and celebrating his arrival.
Rajiv is then greeted by the men and flowers are placed around his neck. It was really interesting and fun to see him in his traditional Indian wedding attire.
Amanda was then brought down the aisle by her brother, Casey, as is the custom as well as a group of women and little girls dropping colorful flower petals. She was absolutely stunning in her sari.
They are both escorted to a tent that is richly decorated with scarves and flowers, statues and pillows. From this point on the traditional Indian wedding ceremony took place. I did not understand most of it, but found it fascinating.
This is Nancy, Amanda's Mom, who is seated with Amanda's Father. Both sets of parents are seated on cushions near the bride and groom and have significant roles to play during the ceremony.
I love this fun shot I took of Nancy and her husband, Doug, and some very important people in their (and my) life.
Amanda had a wonderful time and the festivities continue today with the American wedding tonight. I have the privilege of giving the prayer at dinner and look forward to sharing more pictures with you.

Burst of Color
I start this day with clean(er) bathrooms, mopped floors and laundry put away and ready for some sewing fun. Today I will be cutting out fabric for Erica's quilt. Erica is a darling college girl that I have been mentoring for a couple of years now. We do Bible study, talk about boys, share recipes and scrutinize life together all through the lens of God's word. She had a birthday recently and when I asked her what she wanted, she asked for a quilt. Imagine that, being asked to make a quilt - my heart soared!
She knew she wanted it bright and so we based it on the Amy Butler sheets she had purchased. I had fun picking out the pattern and fabric since the colors are not something I would normally work with. The fabric is from many different lines. The backing fabric above is from Free Spirit and is called "Sugar Snap" isn't that a cute name?
Amy Butler has some great bedding lines out and making a quilt to match the sheets (lower right hand corner) is a great project. Most of the stores around me are not carrying much of her bedding lines yet but I'm sure it won't be long.
The pattern uses many different size squares and rectangles. The picture above is made with fabric from the "Nicey Jane" collection.
I like how the pattern uses some very large pieces of fabric, really showing the pattern of the fabric off.
It feels good to be running my hands over fabric today. I'm always amazed at how excited I get over quilting. Just finding the right pattern can get me dancing. Brenda from Little Acorns has three new patterns out. Check out her wonderful blog
to see them!
Be Blessed,

McGraw-Hill Companies Tuesday defended its Standard & Poor's credit rating division from the federal fraud lawsuit filed last week, reiterating that the Department of Justice action was "entirely without factual or legal merit."
"Rest assured, we will vigorously defend against these erroneous claims," CEO Harold McGraw III said during a conference call with Wall Street analysts as the financial information firm reported its fourth quarter earnings.
McGraw-Hill said it lost $216 million, or 78 cents per share, in the three months that ended Dec. 31. In comparison, the firm reported net income of $216 million, or 75 cents per share, for the period a year earlier.
The loss resulted largely from a $497million charge the company took on the pending sale of its McGraw-Hill Education division, part of a transition to a total focus on providing financial information. The company will be renamed McGraw Hill Financial as part of the sale agreement.
McGraw-Hill shares, which fell sharply last week after it disclosed the federal civil action, were down slightly at $44.21 in Tuesday afternoon trading.
The Department of Justice action, filed in California federal court, alleged that S&P defrauded investors of billions of dollars by issuing falsely inflated credit ratings on financial instruments at the heart of the national financial crisis. It could cost McGraw-Hill as much as $5 billion, the equivalent of several years' earnings.
As part of the action, government lawyers filed copies of internal emails and instant messages aimed at supporting their allegation that S&P's relatively high ratings of bonds tied to potentially risky mortgages were not unbiased and independent, as the company has long maintained.
In one 2005 email, an S&P executive stressed the need to poll some issuers of investments linked to such mortgages to gauge their tolerance for proposed revisions to analytic procedures that could make it tougher to win top credit ratings.
"This looks too much to me as though we are publicly backing into a set of levels driven by our clients," one S&P analyst warned in response.
McGraw-Hill said the e-mails "cherry-picked" by the government, showed "a culture of vigorous debate but not of wrongdoing."
"Claims that S&P deliberately kept ratings high when it knew they should be lower are simply not true as an objective assessment of the evidence will prove," the company said, noting that the credit-rating division issued 537 negative assessments on subprime residential mortgage-backed securities between February and July of 2007 alone.
"Unfortunately, these actions turned out to be insufficient in anticipating the severity of the housing crisis that ultimately came to pass," McGraw-Hill said. "However, the company does not believe the Department of Justice can prove that this failure — common to nearly everyone (peer ratings firms) at the time — was the product of intentional misconduct by anyone at S&P."

The Sher-Wood T70 Undercover Comp Goalie Stick is similar to the top end T90 Undercover sticks with the main difference being the use of materials.
The T70 Undercover is based on the same technology as the the high end T90 Undercover goal stick. The main difference is the use of high modulus carbon fiber on the T90 Undercover compared to carbon fiber and fiberglass on the T70 Undercover. This makes the T70 Undercover stick slightly heavier then it's superior. Sher-Wood continues using what they are calling D-Flector + technology, a proprietary construction that features cross-linked membrane inserted on both sides of the paddle that helps with rebound control. Reducing the vibration on impact is a Vibration Reduction Foam Core ++, light high-density foam that is wrapped with carbon fiber and fiberglass. This gives great vibration dampening and nice control over rebounds. Just like the T90 Undercover, T70 undercover is using a Power Inner Core +, that is layers of material strategically positioned to capture and distribute energy across the paddle for greater vibration absorption. Keeping this stick at a perfect balance, Sher-Wood is using their Equilibrium technology. The weight of the blade, paddle and shaft have been balanced, allowing the goalie to have better puck control while keeping the fatigue down on your blocker hand. Sher-Wood has opted to use their Tradfeel shaft design, squared walls with rounded corners that give the goalie a very traditional feel.
Sher-Wood's new line of Undercover goalie sticks have a lot to offer, from their lightweight construction, materials used, beautiful graphic design styling, and their performance on the rink. This new lineup is sure to please goalies of all ages and playing levels.

Ok boots
"These feel kind of cheap and flimsy. I was hoping to use them for a folk dancing group but I don't think they will hold up and they weren't very comfortable, but I guess that's to be expected at a price like this. They also seem to run kind of long so they didn't fit very well. If I wanted a pair of black slouchy boots to wear for going out or daily use, these might be ok, but I still wouldn't expect them to last long."

"The cut of the toes was just too narrow for my feet. Standing in them was bad enough - walking in them would have been unbearable. I don't think sizing up would have helped. The heel would have been too loose."

Good Boots
"I wear these often, but I don't walk much in them. These are pretty comfy for small amounts of walking and go with a lot of outfits."

"The boots are terrible. The shoe sole started splitting from the boot after only a few days wear. Unfortunately they were already worn, so I couldn't return them, otherwise I would have. I had to super glue the sole back to the shoe. I wasted $50 and am ordering another pair of hopefully better boots. If I wanted cheap boots like these I should've just gone to walmart and spent $20 instead."

The Bauer Reflex RX6 Limited Edition Leg Pads feature exclusive color schemes, but are constructed the same as as the regular RX6 pads. The RX6 offers flexibility and coverage that make them perfect for hybrid style goalies.
Being that flexibility is such a key aspect for the hybrid style goalies, it is nice to see that Bauer has made the RX6 leg pads with their Regulated Flex. The RX6 LE leg pads use the "Soft" flex set up which means they are very flexible with break points above and below the knee. That flexibility allows the pads to move with your leg, even in more unconventional stances. The RX6 leg pads also utilize a square design at the thigh and boot to provide maximum coverage of the net.
In addition to the flexibility and coverage that the RX6 leg pads offer, Bauer has also provided solid protection that is suitable for most intermediate levels of play. Bauer has used their integrated under-pant thigh protector to ensure that the gap between the pants and the leg pads is fully protected. The RX6 leg pads also use a very thick middle layer in the knee stack to provide great shock absorption when your dropping into position.

All gagga you silly people are over an ordinary speech that pretended to be about race.
Listen wackos, you want to fix the race problems in this country, here's what you have to do.
1) Never vote for another democrat
Democrats control the schools and the cities, and this is where black anger is nurtured. Democrats get everything they want for the schools, which happens not to include good results, but does include the agenda handed them by their partners in crime, the teachers' unions.
2) Get poor people an education.
The schools which are owned and operated by democrats celebrate diversity, inclusion, mainstreaming, sustainability, secularism, self-esteem, and a plethora of wonderful, good things. They just don't think its very important to educate people. The biggest scandal in modern America is that democrats give high school diplomas to people who can't read and write and speak english. What could be more racist than that?
Educate blacks for a generation or two, and they'll be too busy, too successful, and too savvy to be sitting in church listening to clever entertainers like Jeremiah Wright.
Why was Barack sitting there with all his education? How else does a Harvard educated light skinned black guy raised by two white women gain acceptance in the black community? He obviously doesn't buy into Wright's nonsense - no one believes that.

An F&W Best New Chef 1991 who helped launch Manhattan's legendary Gramercy Tavern, Colicchio runs the sprawling Craft empire and recently opened the new restaurant at Topping Rose House, a luxury hotel in Bridgehampton, New York. At Topping Rose House, he emphasizes Long Island produce, especially vegetables and herbs from the property's one-acre farm.
Topping Rose House is a 40-minute drive from Colicchio's home on Long Island's North Fork. Recently, he invited a few East End neighbors—including chef Kerry Heffernan and winemakers David Page and Barbara Shinn of Shinn Estate Vineyards—to a dinner party. To determine the menu, he visited several farm stands, grabbing corn for a tangy-sweet salad, then stopped at a seafood store to pick up a big kahuna of a sea bass to spread with Asian chile sauce and roast whole. And then, back at his house, he did all the peeling and chopping himself.

Rabbis Saperstein: "Today, as we celebrate this major step forward, we must also recommit ourselves to working to end discrimination against LGBT adults wishing to volunteer and work for the Boy Scouts, and indeed in all workplaces across the country."
Contact: Sean Thibault or Benny Witkovsky
202.387.2800 | email@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., May 28, 2013 -- In response to the Boy Scouts of America's historic vote to end its policy of discrimination against gay youth, Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center For Reform Judaism, released the following statement:
The Boy Scouts of America's vote last week to open its ranks to gay scouts is a historic mark of progress for an organization that has long been a symbol of discrimination for too many. We are delighted that the Boy Scouts will now extend the opportunity for character and community building to all of America's youth. This victory, however, is bittersweet. The excitement surrounding last week's vote to allow gay youth to participate in the Boy Scouts was undercut by the decision to maintain the organization's prohibition on gay adults serving as volunteers, scout leaders and staff.
Preceding this vote, I was joined by over 500 of my colleagues, rabbis and cantors from coast to coast, in a letter urging the Boy Scouts to lift its ban on both gay youth and adults. Our continued calls for full equality for the LGBT community in both scouting and society as a whole come from an understanding that each person - regardless of their sexuality - is created b'tselem elohim, in the image of God. This divine presence in each of us does not change when a person turns eighteen. The continued discrimination against gay and lesbian adults in the Boy Scouts does not live up to our values as Jews nor the Boy Scouts of America's goals as an organization. Today, as we celebrate this major step forward, we must also recommit ourselves to working to end discrimination against LGBT adults wishing to volunteer and work for the Boy Scouts, and indeed in all workplaces across the country.

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano wasn't the only one issuing bold statements at camp on Thursday. Third-year cornerbackVontae Davis declared he and secondary partner Sean Smith as the best duo in the NFL.
"I'm going to go out on a limb and say we're the best tandem in the league," Davis said.
When pushed by the questioner if he included Jets cornerbacksDarrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie, who have a combined 32 interceptions and four Pro Bowl berths to Davis' and Smith's five and none respectively, he wouldn't backpedal.
"You name them all and I'm putting it out there," Davis said.
Man do something about it Vontae.. go put up some numbers or something. STFU

I have just purchased a beautiful Victorian house built in 1871. The heating system is a forced hot water system that feeds to baseboards throughout. The baseboards are old, partially broken, ugly, and just not appealing in such a historic building. I want to put in old fashioned cast-iron radiators which I can get for a steal locally. IS it possible and how does one go about doing this???

Funny chapter. But any amount of tension has been wiped. This guy was a joke. His power was kinda neat. But alas, wasted on Lucy gags.
This style is either hit or miss with his audience. Those who wanted serious fights for each member are sure to be disappointed. People like me who appreciate a good gag fight like it.
Either way, enough is enough now. I loved that little comedy routine, but it's time for Hiro to pick back up the seriousness this arc started with as we approach some of the more important fights of this arc.

Not For High Insteps
"I have a pair of the MG Sanguine's and thought these could be another cute summer boot but they don't work for me. I have high insteps and it was a struggle to get my foot in the boot. My normal size is a 6/6.5 and the 6 would have been right if the instep had worked. Its too bad because they are really cute!"

Two of the four new Acura models will go on sale this spring: the new 1995 open-top NSX-T and an all-new 1996 mid-luxury sedan, to be unveiled next month at the Chicago auto show.
An all-new top-of-the-line luxury sedan will be the next model to be introduced, followed by Acura's fIrst ever made in the USA model, during the spring of 1996.
The introduction of Acura's U.S. built model will contribute to the company's North American expansion strategy while making Acura the fIrst luxury import automaker to design, engineer, develop and manufacture an automobile in the U.S.
Acura maintains its position as the top-selling luxury import nameplate since 1987, while for the second consecutive year, the Integra GS-R was named to Car and Driver Magazine's prestigious "10 Best Cars" list.
With the introduction of these four new models, Acura projects 1995 model sales of approximately 110,000 units, with sales continuing to climb throughout 1996.

Top Shops Look to LinkedIn
21. August 2013
Our 2013 Top Shops benchmarking survey revealed an uptick in the use of the Internet and social media as sales and marketing tools. Nearly 23 percent of this year's Top Shops use social media—Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.—compared to only 11 percent in 2011. Clearly, an increasing number of leading shops are testing these waters in an effort to get their message in front of additional customers.
In September 2011, we launched our Top Shops LinkedIn Group. This exclusive group is geared toward decision-makers in North American machining facilities, including shop owners, managers, engineers, programmers and other senior personnel. The group now has more than 1,000 members sharing ideas, offering opinions and posing questions. Some of the threads have spurred multiple comments and interesting exchanges. Here are a few that received a healthy number of responses.

I'm super excited, the 5 Kages join the fight on my birthday! How awesome is that!
My name is Corey and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge in every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with random women, and just generally act like a raging dick head. I contribute to society in no way what so ever
Proud fan of the Oujou White Knights!
It was awhile since I watched any episode of Naruto and have to say, it was a good decision. It's hard not to notice the mistakes and how flat, boring are the interactions between characters shown (I think that this part has even gotten worse).
I think most would agree last weeks Episode 322 was superior to this. This felt ho-hum maybe because we know everything that was going to happen but also there was no deviation from the script in this episode.
The anime extras sometimes make it more interesting and that's what we got in 322 that made it so exciting. Next weeks episode does look good though.

The difference between a quiche and a green bean casserole is more than just classiness. First, a quiche is more versatile--you can add any type of vegetable you want. Second, it's a lot easier to make a lower calorie/fat version and still have it taste good (um, not that I did). Third, it doesn't usually call for cans of condensed soup laced with preservatives. I'm sure there are other reasons, and I think you quiche lovers should let me know what they are. In fact, the person who gives me the best reason as to why quiche is better than green bean casserole (in general or for Thanksgiving) will get a special prize from me. It may or may not include baked goods. It'll likely contain something else. Just know that it comes from me, and I am awesome, which makes any sort of prize I send awesome as well.
To the quiche! This is surprisingly the first quiche I have ever made. I wanted to call it a tart, but it's really a quiche. My inspiration was the kale I am currently obsessed with; I felt that it would be great in this kind of dish because it would get the cooking time it desperately needs to reach a state of perfect tenderness. I'll happily eat my kale slightly al dente, but other people around here are a bit pickier. Anyway, I was right--the kale in this was cooked to perfection and melded well with the leeks and custard. I'll also mention that I did something a bit different with the cheese in this quiche. I love Boursin and its intense garlic (and herb) flavor, both of which I felt would go well with the chive crust. I smeared a bunch of it onto the crust before filling, and sprinkled some in afterward. It was a flavorful addition. Trust me when I say that this quiche will satisfy all of your needs.
Contest is not your normal tell-everyone-about-it-and-follow-me giveaway--it's mostly to feed my craziness & to provide one of my regular readers with a holiday treat from yours truly. Comments will be cut off on Friday, November 26th. My mom will be picking the winner to avoid any impropriety on my part. Please live in the United States or Canada--I'm poor and can't afford shipping overseas.
From Cooking Light
5 oz all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
4 tsp. unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup boiling water
Preheat oven to 400F.
1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder and chives in a bowl.
2. Cut in vegetable shortening. Tip: if you don't have a pastry blender, use a sturdy metal wire whisk to "mash" the shortening into the dry ingredients. The picture below shows you get the same results.
3. Combine butter and water and make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add into well and bring flour into mixture until it resembles wet clumps. Note: mine was more like a really thick porridge.
4. Make a rough disk on parchment paper or plastic wrap, wrap dough, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Roll dough out into a 13" inch circle. Line the bottom of 10" tart pan or springform with parchment, and then fit dough into bottom and press into sides. If using tart pan, remove excess.
6. Line bottom of crust with foil and add pie weights. Lower oven to 375F and bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool for 15 minutes before adding cheese in next section.
7 stalks kale (5 cups), shredded
1 1/2 cups squash, 1" chunks
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegetable stock
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1.5 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 package Boursin
2. When cool, spread half the package of Boursin on the bottom of your crust using the back of a spoon. Take care not to crack the crust.
3. In a large saute pan on medium heat, add vegetable stock and garlic. Cook until fragrant.
4. Add leeks and kale to pan, mix around, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, until leeks and kale are soft and nearing tender. Remove lid and allow the remainder of the liquid to evaporate.
5. Add kale and leek mixture to the pie crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with half the squash and the remainder of the cheese.
6. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over filling, taking care to leave at least 1/4 inch between filling and top of crust.
7. Sprinkle remainder of squash on top of quiche.
8. Bake at 375F for 30-35 minutes until puffy and slightly brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from tin. Top with chopped chives.

I am most impressed with the brakes as they are as good as the DA7900. I opted for the 52x36 11x28, absolutely perfect in every way! I had zero issues with delivery or the time of arrival to usa. The shifters are flawless as well and thinner much like the dura ace 7900s as well, along with precise, clean crisp shifting just as good as my DA7900s for sure! Thanks for the stellar deal!
Well what can I save; when you save 50% on a group set like the Ultegra 6800 11? I work with my local bike shop and installation was great, but the real deal was the ride after all was done. Going from a 105 system to this was like night and day! Better climbing, easier and the shifting was a 100% improvement. My gear selection was also great and increased my performance in all areas of my ride. I now have a new bike for a quarter of the cost for what I wanted.
very happy with the order. everything was as expected. thank you.
I've logged 800 miles on the new component set and all seems very predictable with one noteworthy exception: these brakes are excellent, well modulated and easy to control, a clear improvement over the old Ultegra set which served me over the past 5 years and 67,000 miles. As for the rest, it's great as I would expect from my past use.
I haven't put on the parts yet
I ordered this group to update an older Trek bike that had a 105 group on it. I'm still in the build phase, but really looking forward to getting on the road. The buying experience was great, price was best I found anywhere and delivery was on time and packaged as needed.
The groupset arrived on time..!! Very prompt service and it was easy to install..
ProBikeKit provided a product that was priced competitively and with excellent service. Their website was easy to use. I highly recommend this company as your choice to shop.
first visual impression of the shimano ultegra 11 , awesome product, quality it's just oustanding, MADE IN JAPAN , what else can you ask for, probike's super low price was unbelivable. very happy customer.
I just installed the Shimano 11 speed ultegra groupo and the shifting is very smooth and crisp as well as very quiet. I did get the mid compact chainrings and this is perfect with any 11 speed group. Thanks Dan
Best Groupset for the money hands down, shimano has out done themselves with this groupo.
The new Ultegra 11 Speed group is very streamlined and has a nice new look. Shimano has done a very nice job with the esthetics and design.
