The U.S. economy had a bit of a pickup during this year's third quarter, showing growth of 2 percent. Meanwhile, the housing market remains limp and high unemployment recalcitrantly hovers at 9.6 percent. —JCL
The BBC:
The US economy grew at an annualised rate of 2% in the July-to-September period, an acceleration on the previous quarter, official figures have shown.
The expansion came despite continuing high unemployment and weakness in the housing market.
The 2% figure is an improvement on the upwardly revised 1.7% increase between April and June, but less than the 3.7% growth recorded from January to March.

What is the house of future? Well, imagine smart security, self cooking ovens, self cleaning carpets, self automated robot butlers to complete all your chores, smart gadgets that remind you to have sex and then automatically set themselves in motion to clean up the bed and make themselves, welcome to your possible house of future.
While the artificial intelligence and augmented reality are still in works and that dream home is a few decades away, what's fascinating is to think about all the incredible immediate things we can do with a latest smartphone in our hand almost immediately tomorrow.
Smartphone are rocking the world, whether it's checking emails, instantly responding to friends or taking a look at the weather forecast before we leave the house. Smartphones have delivered access to many factors that affect our lives.
The progression is far from over, of course, and many of the advances in technology that happen in the future may well freak us out a bit right now, but some of those appearing over the horizon are certainly set to bring us more control in our lives, particularly in how we operate with other devices around the house.
Well, quite a bit much of buzz has been made about the market opportunity underlying smart homes, but consumers are not yet convinced. The Consumer Technology Association understands this and forecasts that sales of wearable devices will be quadrupled compared to sales of smart home devices in 2016, reaching 38 million and around 9 million units sold, respectively. That is something to think about for sure.
We can safely predict that traditional clay bricks are likely out of future constructions, as we believe future houses are likely to be more eco-friendly, eschewing CO²-heavy manufacturing processes. So expect a lot of new never seen before technologies appearing near a retailer near you.
While, it may not seem as if it would be so easy to connect all of the different technologies around the house and get them to function together, but upgrades in programming over recent years have made that a realistic possibility.
Indeed, there are plenty of devices in the average house that can nowadays interact in some way with a computer, including alarms, heating, water, television, and just turning things on and off.
This can affect our lives in a number of ways. Perhaps one of the most exciting applications of this technology is one that could potentially save lives and livelihoods for the forgetful types – smartphones can allow us to check if we turned the alarm on, turned the oven off, or if some appliance is about to burn the house down. A quick glance at the relevant smartphone app and we can allay these types of fears.
Smartphones are also very much becoming part of home life as society continues to collect more of these devices, often eschewing bigger and more powerful laptops and desktops in favor of something that can fit easily in one hand.
The way all of this is brought together and assimilated into one useful format is termed the 'Internet of Things', as everyday devices we use at home and in our daily lives transmit data across the Internet and help to build up a much bigger picture.
All of these machines are fitted with appropriate sensors that allows for all of this data to be accessed from elsewhere, wherever you are in the world. Handily, this can also be via your smartphone. There is an impressive range of devices that can be connected, which many may not have considered, such as door locks, tennis rackets and toasters. International research firm Gartner reckons that by 2020 there will be 25 billion of these items in existence globally, and other firms provide less conservative estimates.
Given that most of our products are assembled by different companies and manufacturers, it will come as no surprise to learn that all of the items in your kitchen are not necessarily speaking the same language, as they will in your house of future.
However, today's young entrepreneurs are already looking into making this house of future a reality today and have made impressive headway into creating the smart home of the future, as they look to take advantage of new and exciting possibilities to transform how we live. One such example looking into implementing this future is the Razor House in California, that is being led by Donald Burns who is completely focused on being a pioneer in the field. The house already allows control of sensory features such as temperature, audio and lighting with just an iPad in each room, as well as automated shading to control sunlight levels and is working on implementing other new technologies.
These kinds of developments show just how far we have come in just a few decades, from gigantic mobile phones bigger than our faces to a much more pleasant version of a Stanley Kubrick-envisioned future. We are very much at the beginning of the journey in terms of smartphones, as the technology has to play catch-up to the grand ideas.
While we are nowhere even close to the "Iron Man" world of technologies, it means we now have a goal to meet our dreams and take us into next set of global innovation. This means there are many more exciting aspects of future tech that could continue to transform our homes and lives in the years to come, though they may not all appear the fanciest of gadgets.
Smart thermostats are likely to be a great way for us all to bring down our energy usage, as your smartphone can control a device that operates all of your other devices. It is estimated to be able to save us 20 percent on energy costs, and shows the potential savings in our house of future.
With all of these exciting changes to come over the next few years, it will be fun to see how we can get our hands on this tech that will allow us to sleep easy all over the world, as we log in with our phones and confirm that we definitely locked the back door before we left.
Have you guys already connected your smartphones to smart home gadgets yet? What do you think the house of future will bring in making our homes completely handled by smartphones? Share your thoughts in the comments below and if you know of any latest technologies we should write about in this field.

this is not a cataract issue for sure. In fact your symptoms almost always are the result of macular swelling as that seen in wet macular degeneration. I would do 2 tests for you and this will rule in or out any issues for sure....1st is an OCT test 2nd is a florescein angiogram....these 2 can help to pinpoint subtle problems so that treatment can be customized for you. I would also suggest evaluation by a retina specialist after the testing is performed. This is the appropriate management, Dr. Stevens

Is Apple TV Doomed?
Fierce competition and proprietary file formats make Apple TV a tough sell to consumers.
At January's Macworld expo in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announced in his keynote address several upgrades to Apple Inc.'s iTunes and Apple TV, including iTunes movie rentals and the ability to use Apple TV without a PC. Now you can watch movies from iTunes and at a reduced price to boot.
Related Articles:
The improvements to Apple TV have raised speculation about whether the fledgling service can be successful in the marketplace — something that has evaded similar services as well. Apple TV faces fierce competition: Netflix Inc. recently announced that it will offer a set-top box for direct-to-TV movie rentals, and a company called Vudu Inc. already offers a similar service. That's not to mention Amazon Unbox and newcomers like fanfare. Despite Apple's brand name, it faces many challenges. But it may eventually be able to turn things around, if it listens to consumers.
"Apple TV simply hasn't been that attractive a proposition for consumers," said Richard Broughton, an analyst at the media research firm Screen Digest. "Yes, you can [now] watch YouTube on your TV, but does anyone actually have a pressing desire to do so? The main problem Apple TV has faced in the U.S. is that 95 percent of households have pay TV — cable, satellite or more recently, IPTV from AT&T, Verizon or smaller providers. Consumers don't want to have to shell out on another set-top on top of their existing service, especially if it only gets them content they could get on their PC."
The IPTV Advantage
Broughton went on to outline some of the specific reasons why Apple TV has struggled against IPTV services, at least in Europe. "Apple TV is likely to struggle to make headway against pay-TV operators — it is offering the equivalent of only half a TV service," he said. "Compared to many of the IPTV services across Europe, it is lacking in several areas. Firstly, consumers have to purchase the box — the model adopted by most operators in Europe is to provide the set-top free. Secondly, a decent broadband connection is required to stream the movies; otherwise, download/progressive download is the only option. Thirdly, Apple TV operates purely on a PPV (pay-per-view) basis."
"Cable and IPTV services have both broadcast content (for IPTV, often free with a broadband subscription), along with free catch-up TV and an extensive VOD (video on demand) library," Broughton noted. Consumers are not really saving any money for the most part by going with Apple TV. Apple TV also limits their options if they want premium content."
On the subject of competition from similar offerings, Broughton explained that Apple's brand name isn't likely to give it enough leverage in the marketplace. "Apple is going up against some big names here but was more or less forced to do so. Download-to-own movies are primarily device-driven, and to succeed in the market, Apple requires a consumer-end receiver. All of the services have a fairly limited market — either those people who like to be ahead of the trend, have money to burn or are dedicated customers to the brand."
Apple is in a fairly strong position though — none of its competitors evoke quite the media and consumer frenzy it does. "There will be people out there who will buy the box just because it's Apple, but that alone is unlikely to provide enough ROI (return on investment) for the company," said Broughton. It should be noted that a service similar to Apple TV, called MovieBeam, was recently declared a failure after it closed up shop.
Familiar Problem
Broughton explained that another major problem with Apple TV is that it requires content to be rented from its own iTunes store in its own format. "Any company which tries to put a box in consumers' homes, to which they can only download films from its own store, is going to struggle," he said. "One of the successes of the iPod was in allowing music in MP3 formats to be played on it. Apple TV is going to have issues, as films don't all come in the same ubiquitous format and it only plays very specific video files. It also doesn't support many DRM (digital rights management) systems, preventing films from many providers being played on the box."
Nevertheless, the upgrades solve some of the problems critics have cited — particularly by removing the need for a PC. "The update is a significant move from Apple, as it removes the inconvenience of having to transfer files from PC to Apple TV," Broughton said. "Having this ability makes the box more akin to dedicated on-demand set-tops, like that recently announced by Netflix, and places it into direct competition with VOD services belonging to the cable and IPTV operators. It is this feature which has really improved the attractiveness of the box to consumers."
If there's one thing to be learned from all this, it's that it will be extremely difficult to make any of these offerings work. While Apple may have a brand name, so do telco companies like AT&T and Verizon. Given the choice between Apple TV and telco IPTV, the latter will likely win out, primarily due to its lack of restrictions along with good choice and value. But perhaps a company like Netflix will come in and surprise everyone — in this age of changing media, certainly almost anything is possible.

I didn't like the E60/E90 generation of BMWs generally but the E92 was and is the standout. I don't think the E92 was cookie cutter. It was a trend setter. The LCI E90 M3s look mean too, I'd put them as a close 2nd.
Edit: Never mind the front bumper is worse. They're in close competition though...
honesty, i know this is the e90 but i don't think you could find a worse bumper than this one
at least the 4 is as aggressive as the rest of the car, where this is just... clunky bumpy and looks like a lego car.
the bumpers are a bit extreme, and i am still adjusting to the newer styled bumpers. since the e30, the m/mtech bumpers always has the same exact look, one big air duct, one to each side with integrated fog lights. it was perfect, but with the new style, i am a firm believer that they made this car look almost as good as it can. if anyone could think of a better design, i seriously would love to see it, i'm not saying that in any b*tchy kinda of way either.
and lets be honest, until you see the final 100% finished product, IN PERSON... all criticism should be kept to a minimum. Given what i'm looking at, this is my next car.

I read the great article by struttswife live curly live free and it talks about how highlighting your hair actually blows holes in the cortex of the hair and it needs to be filled in with a protein treatment.

Britain's Prince Harry today used his 21st birthday to dismiss rumours he and elder brother Prince William dislike their new stepmother Camilla, insisting: "William and I love her to bits".
In the first significant public pronouncements of his life, Harry also apologised for wearing a Nazi uniform to a party earlier this year, while insisting he did not want to curb his rebellious streak, saying: "I am who I am".
Camilla, who in April married the princes' father, heir to the British throne Prince Charles, was "not the wicked stepmother", Harry told British media in a series of pooled interviews to mark his birthday.
Some reports have claimed that the princes - notably Harry - resent the woman who helped cause the breakup of Charles' marriage to their mother, the late Princess Diana.
But Harry had only warm words for the former Camilla Parker Bowles, now officially Duchess of Cornwall.
"Everyone has to understand that it's very hard for her. Look at the position she's coming into. Don't always feel sorry for me and William, feel sorry for her," Harry said.
"It's all different. We are very grateful for her. She's made our father very happy."
Like 23-year-old William before him, Harry spent his younger life as insulated as possible from the media, save for a smattering of carefully choreographed photoshoots.
William also gave his first proper media interviews ahead of his 21st birthday.
Harry has nonetheless been pursued by newspapers in recent years, especially since he acquired a reputation for high-living, frequenting nightclubs and even getting involved in a scuffle with a photographer outside a club last year.
The low-point came in January, when Harry caused international outrage after being photographed at a fancy dress party wearing a mock-up Nazi uniform, complete with swastika armband.
"Looking back on it now and at the time as well, it was a very stupid thing to do and I've learnt my lesson, simple as that really," Harry said in one of the three interviews arranged for his birthday.
"I'm very sorry if I offended anybody. I'd like to put it in the past now. What's done is done. I regret it," he said.
Some commentators have labelled Harry a reformed character since he joined the British Army's elite Sandhurst officer training college in May.
But while arguing he was misunderstood, Harry refused to apologise for his rebellious streak.
"I don't want to change that much. I am who I am. I'm not going to change because I'm being criticised in the press," he said.
"Yeah, I've grown up, everyone's got to grow up. But there's something inside me that's always going to be, I'm always going to have that little sort of - how do you say? - child streak.
"It's something that I'd like to keep. I've got friends of mine saying before I went to Sandhurst, 'Don't change, Don't change, Don't change'. Well, I'm not going to."
Professing a wish to continue the charity work of Princess Diana, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997, Harry was asked if he was a "party prince" or a "caring prince".
He replied: "I am both of them. If that's a problem with anyone, then I'm very sorry.
"What, does everyone expect me to be just the caring person and not to have a cigarette, not to have a beer?"
The prince also insisted he would be willing to serve on the front line after Sandhurst.
According to Harry, "there's no way I'm going to put myself through Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting for their country.
"That may sound very patriotic, but it's true. It's not the way anyone should really work."
The one subject the prince appeared wary of was that of South African girlfriend Chelsy Davy.
"My girlfriend is somebody who's very special to me and yes, she's gone through some very hard times. No, I'm not going to talk about it."

Structuring institutional analysis for urban ecosystems: A key to sustainable urban forest management

A decline in urban forest structure and function in the United States jeopardizes the current focus on developing sustainable cities. A number of social dilemmas—for example, free-rider problems—restrict the sustainable production of ecosystem services and the stock of urban trees from which they flow. However, institutions, or the rules, norms, and strategies that affect human decision-making, resolve many such social dilemmas, and thus, institutional analysis is imperative for understanding urban forest management outcomes. Unfortunately, we find that the definition of institutions varies greatly across and within disciplines, and conceptual frameworks in urban forest management and urban ecosystems research often embed institutions as minor variables. Given the significance of institutional analysis to understanding sustainable rural resource management, this paper attempts to bring clarity to defining, conceptually framing, and operationally analyzing institutions in urban settings with a specific focus on sustainable urban forest management. We conclude that urban ecologists and urban forest management researchers could benefit from applying a working definition of institutions that uniquely defines rules, norms, and strategies, by recognizing the nested nature of operational, collective choice, and constitutional institutions, and by applying the Institutional Analysis and Development framework for analysis of urban social-ecological systems (SESs). Such work promises to spur the desired policy-based research agenda of urban forestry and urban ecology and provide cross-disciplinary fertilization of institutional analysis between rural SESs and urban ecosystems.

Not long ago, I had surgery. I suppose that in the vastness of creation, the precipitating problem wasn't much; with age I'd lost peripheral vision due to drooping eyelids. For several years I'd lived in shadow, sight obscured by canopies of flesh.
My ophthalmologist prescribed blepharoplasty coupled with an endoscopic brow lift. If I chose to have the surgery, he'd put me under general anesthesia, incise along my eyelids' natural creases and in several places in my scalp. He'd remove excess skin, muscle, and fat and close the gashes with myriad stitches. The procedure would take about two hours, healing, four to five weeks, after which—he hoped—my field of vision would appreciably improve.
When I woke up in recovery, my body tensed with terror, my eyes and head pulsed with pain. I could scarcely press open my eyelids—was anybody there? I felt my husband's hand in mine, heard a nurse calling my name, but saw only an under-ocean swirl—searing light, floating glow-spots, miasmatic silhouettes. Had my surgeon blinded me?
The first few days at home, I lay supine on the couch—inert—ointment in my closed and crusted eyes, pads on my livid lids, bandages round my throbbing head, heavy icepacks on my face. And for some reason I still don't understand—anesthesia, pain medication?—I lost control of my thoughts, which tumbled into pondering my past, spiraled into panic for the future, pummeled me so relentlessly that my physical black and blueness paled before the bruising of my heart.

Moonrise KingdomClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Moonrise Kingdom -- a 1960s-set dramedy about two misfit tweens who run away with each other -- is, like most of director Wes Anderson's other films, atmospheric and loopy and moving: a mix that might confound younger audiences, even though the movie is about kids. Plus, the stories of their home lives are actually quite sad (one is an orphan; the other feels alone and misunderstood by her family). The young characters kiss each other, feel each other up, and are shown in their underwear. Swearing is pretty minimal ("hell," etc.), but there's some period-accurate smoking, and one 12-year-old character is served beer by an adult.
- Sexual Content
- Two 12-year-olds kiss (with and without tongue), feel each other up while clad in only their underwear, and discuss the feel of an erection. A married woman cheats on her husband, though she's not shown doing anything with her lover besides holding his hand. She's also shown topless very briefly in a non-sexual, non-close-up way.
- Violence
- A tween stabs another with a pair of scissors (the aftermath is shown, but not the incident itself). While hunting down a runaway, characters arm themselves with makeshift clubs, axes, air guns, and the like. People scream at each other, and one character sports a black eye. A cabin explodes while a man is in it; also, a child is shown being hit by lightning. A dog is killed by a wayward arrow.
- Language
- Infrequent swearing includes "goddamn," "damn," "son of a bitch," "hell," and "oh my God."
- Social Behavior
- Amid some characters' iffy choices and behavior are messages about the importance of marching to the beat of your own drummer. Also, that adolescence is tough, especially when the grown-ups around you haven't figured out their own lives. But a true friendship helps ease the journey.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Two characters smoke pretty frequently (accurate for the movie's 1960s setting), and one serves a 12-year-old beer.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

If you know one French expression, it's probably "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."
"The more things change, the more they stay the same" fits the French national team to a tee.
Two years after they boycotted a training session at the South African resort of Knysna, French players again melted down at Euro 2012 like a gooey Croque Monsieur.
The main culprit was Manchester City star Samir Nasri, a player so immature he was deemed unfit for the ill-fated trip to the 2010 World Cup.
The French sports daily L'Equipe reported Tuesday that Nasri faces a two-year ban from the national team for poor conduct at Euro 2012.
Even Nicolas Anelka, at the center of the 2010 mutiny for suggesting then-Coach Raymond Domenech could do something anatomically impossible, didn't get as long a ban.
After scoring the tying goal in the opening game against England, Nasri put his fingers over his mouth, ran over the sidelines and shouted out "Shut your big mouth" to a French journalist.
After France's loss to Spain, Nasri was involved in another incident with a French journalist, telling him the same thing Anelka told Domenech and then adding, "There, now you'll be able to say I've been badly brought up."
Nasri was believed to have been shunned by teammates after a poor game in the 2-0 loss to Sweden and dropped from the starting lineup for the quarterfinal match against Spain.
FFF president Noel Le Graet called Nasri's outburst after the Spain game "intolerable," while Coach Laurent Blanc called it "a lack of respect."
But the possible punitive measures the French are facing don't end with the possible Nasri ban.
Three other players -- Hatem Ben Arfa and Jeremy Menez, members along with Karim Benzema and Nasri of France's Generation 87, and Yann M'Vila -- are reported to being facing shorter bans for incidents during or after the Bleus' final two matches at Euro 2012.
At a time of high unemployment in France, politicians ridiculed player bonuses of $125,000 for reaching the quarterfinals. (That the Italians, who have reached the semifinals, have chosen to hand over their bonuses to victims of the recent earthquakes in Italy makes the Bleus look even worse.)
The behavior of the French players was especially embarrassing to Le Graet, who is seeking re-election this year. Asked before the tournament what words of wisdom he had for the players, he responded, "All I said to them was be friends."
Famous last words after M'Vila didn't shake the hands of his replacement, Olivier Giroud, in the Spain game, and Menez insulted captain Hugo Lloris, the Bleus' best player at the tournament, during the quarterfinal match.
Players like Nasri and Ben Arfa are stars with their English club teams but have long had problems with the French media, who believe they are high-priced divas with bad attitudes and a penchant for bling bling.
But bickering is nothing new to the French national team.
Four years ago, Nasri fell out with the leaders on the French team. His crime? Taking Thierry Henry's preferred seat on the bus. Nasri was so unpopular that Domenech didn't even include him on his short list of 30 players for South Africa, let alone the final 23.
But the most notorious case, never confirmed by the parties, of a pair of players who didn't get along took place 30 years ago.
Jean-Francois Larios, one of the best French players of his day, was mysteriously dropped from France's 1982 World Cup team, but rumors soon surfaced that the reason for his exit was he had been having an affair with the wife of French star Michel Platini, now the president of UEFA.

ReviewThe car is magic to drive! I was scared about buying an SLK. I read mixed reviews. I decided to plunge and get it. The retractable hard top was a desired feature. I wanted Lexus sc 430 so I could drive my nephews, but couldn't find one with my price range. I love my silver. Interior is red and black leather, which matches university colors. Manual 6 speed was recommended and does add to enthusiastic driving..and limits my cell phone use because I need to shift gears - probably a good thing! This car has Bose sound system and quality sound with top down. Car maneuvers like a dream and accelerates sufficiently. Behind the wheel I know I have a well crafted machine at hand.
Best FeaturesDriving it when 3500 rpms kick in in 2nd and 3rd gears! Top down! Fun to drive and be in. Looks ....wow! Gorgeous lines!
Worst FeaturesSeats are great for enthusiastic driving, but when long distance driving my back hurts and I can't find a comfortable position with the electronic adjustments. I imagine newer models have larger or more comfortable seats for long distances.

Ground-water conditions and potential for artificial recharge in Lucerne Valley, San Bernardino County, California
Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-118

- Donald H. Schaefer
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractThe water level in two areas of Lucerne Valley in California has declined more than 100 feet since 1917, including 60 feet from 1954 to 1976. These declines are the result of pumping for the irrigation of alfalfa. The lowering of water levels has caused many shallow domestic wells to go dry. Well yields in the valley generally are between 10 and 1,000 gallons per minute. About 240 ,000 acre-feet of ground water was withdrawn between 1950 and 1976. About 1,750,000 acre-feet remains in storage. Water of poor quality underlies the valley around Lucerne Lake. There was no definable movement of this water from 1954 to 1976, but the possibility exists for future movement toward centers of pumping. Lucerne Valley may be hydrologically suitable for artificial-recharge operations. (Woodard-USGS)

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The empanada is to many South American countries what the cheeseburger is to heartland America: the most popular grab-and-go meal and a cultural icon. These fried or baked dough pockets stuffed with a variety of meat or vegetable fillings are abundant at bakeries all around Miami, but few establishments serve them as fresh and authentically Argentine as Confiteria Buenos Aires Bakery & Café. The fried, ground-beef version (jazzed up with bits of hard-boiled egg, green olive, and spices) is the winner. Its baked cousins -- available with chicken, spinach, or ham and cheese -- with their flaky crusts, are equally delectable. Take a dozen home for the family. Better yet, linger inside this warm and bustling café and have them with a Quilmes (Argentine beer) while enjoying the swirl of activity created by the Bonarense transplants who flock here for a taste of home. Open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
C'mon, an overpriced sushi joint? We only have about a hundred of those, so why reward a new one? Well, friends, try out Nobuyuki Matsuhisa's dishes and then come back and tell us it wasn't worth every penny. So what if some whine about the décor. People! Style over substance has been Miami's cement shoes for too long. And so what if the super-fresh sashimi melted in your mouth so quickly and deliciously you almost forgot you just ate it. And who cares if chopsticks were used as weapons for the very last crumbs from the black codfish with miso. It doesn't matter. What does matter is this: Miami finally has a Matsuhisa masterhouse to return to over and over again for more of the same. For the first time in a while, a restaurant has opened that can truly contend with the best of the best.
A delicate rose fashioned from slender blush-pink slices of tuna. Carefully carved thin strips of cucumber wrapped around crab stick, avocado, masago, and shrimp. Wooden boats bursting with artfully arranged squares of fish. How fresh is it? Take a glance behind the sushi bar. If the huge white tuna slumped across the sink, ready for carving, is any hint, very.
Chocolate is not a bad or dangerous thing. Chocolate is good medicine for the brain, the blood, the sweet tooth. And the Sweet Tooth's chocolate is very good, made on the premises. From chocolate hearts and cherries to truffles and luscious creams, feast your eyes (did we mention chocolate improves night vision?) on the velvety array of goodies at this well-equipped chocolate clinic. The selection is so stunning, especially on holidays, you may be temporarily paralyzed. The Sweet Tooth people know how you feel and have thoughtfully prepared all kinds of beautiful and therapeutic gift baskets and boxes.
No, it's not really about the drinks. You've had those before. And it's not really about the décor, which is clean and fine but not spectacular. It's also not about the specials, because there aren't really official hours for happiness here. It's about the only reason people seek out happy hours to begin with: the scene. What? On Miracle Mile in the stuffy Gables, you might sneer? Yup. There's a new dawn in that part of town and it's raising a toast at the new Houston's after work. Good mix of cocktails, ages, ethnicities, sexes, economic positions. The men and women behind the bar are friendly, as are the people sitting next to you. Starting late in the afternoon on Friday often you won't find a stool or even standing room, so the party spills out into the street. If you need further proof this isn't the Gables of old, consider: Once you've downed your after-work libations, you can move on to other attractions. Huh? Life after 8:00 p.m. in the City Beautiful? Yes, truly a new dawn.
This is truly the hole-in-the-wall that has it all. Almost indistinguishable from the other storefronts along this part of North Miami Avenue, Clive's makes its mark at the cozy counter set up with great Jamaican favorites like curry goat, oxtail, and cowfoot. With ample food packed on a five-dollar special, this is a can't-miss deal every afternoon. The chicken is cooked to diner perfection and the curry is a smooth blend that avoids the fire-alarm spices of other native cuisines. The mood is laid-back, with a pleasant Mrs. P taking good care of the customers and a small radio pumping out reggae sounds. You just may catch Clive's fan Lenny Kravitz taking in the scene. Clive's is great for take-out but just as nice for a midafternoon stop to take it easy.

Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:47pm
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — It was a joyous scene as elbow pads, jerseys, gloves and equipment were hurled into the crowd at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
And then, a long pole soared into the air for one of the many fans gathered to celebrate the Cannons' win.
It was a fitting scene — under clear blue skies after Saturday's dreary conditions — for a celebration 11 years in the making, as the Boston Cannons shook off their playoff demons and earned their first Steinfeld Trophy, beating the Hamilton Nationals, 10-9, Sunday in front of an announced 5,027 fans.
"It feels great. It's a giant relief. It's an amazing feeling, but we're just glad we got it done," said Paul Rabil, the regular-season Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year.
Boston, which became the final of the original Major League Lacrosse franchises to win the league championship, entered this year with a 1-8 postseason record and the unfavorable reputation of performing in the regular season and faltering in the playoffs.
But this season, the team performed under a microscope and won two high-pressure games, knocking off last year's champion, the Chesapeake Bayhawks, with a dramatic one-goal win with 1.2 seconds left before beating Hamilton on Sunday.
"It's tough to win at any level. This league, the teams are so condensed and so talented, and you can put together such a great piece of artwork during the regular season and in the end, you really have to win two games when everyone's at their best...It's very tough," Rabil said with a sigh of relief and all of his equipment and Cannons gear already thrown into the crowd.
"We came here with one mission," coach Bill Daye said. "One purpose this weekend, and we got it done. "
"It's huge. Our fans, obviously they're here supporting. There's lots of Boston jerseys and T-shirts in the crowd," Rabil said.
In Boston's path to the championship was an opponent with a far different pedigree: While the Cannons have been the jewel of the league in terms of star power and regular-season success, the Nationals are finishing their first season in Hamilton with a bevy of young players.
The Nationals have played Championship Weekend — and the whole season — with a chip on their shoulder. Brett Bucktooth laid out Boston goalie Jordan Burke with a late hit just a minute into the game, as the Nationals were finishing hits and asserting their toughness on the Cannons early. But that led to opportunities for Boston.
The first man-up situation for Boston led to a Ryan Boyle goal, assisted by Rabil. Jeremy Boltus' interference penalty led to Matt Poskay's second goal of the day (It was an even-strength goal, but the penalty had just expired as Poskay scored). It was a far cry from Boston's 0-10 performance on man-up against the Nationals from during the regular season.
The field was tilted in Boston's favor in the first half, as the Cannons took advantage of Hamilton penalties and turnovers. But the Nationals stuck in the game, with the Cannons leading 6-3 at halftime.
The disparity in many key stats — notably time of possession and shots — took a toll on goalie Scott Rodgers, who kept the team in the game in the first half despite facing a barrage of shots. The Nationals were outshot 22-8 by the Cannons in that half and struggled clearing the ball. He was replaced with Brett Queener to start the second half.
Seven different players had goals for Boston, a team that has succeeded when the scoring has been spread across the field. Poskay had a hat trick for the Cannons in the first half. Pat Heim had two goals. Brad Ross, Matt Smalley, Boyle, Kevin Buchanan and Mike Stone had the others. Rabil was held without a goal but had two assists.
Buchanan's flying goal was the game-winner.
"It's just getting open early," Poskay said. "When you're feeling it a little bit you get a little more confidence, you start shooting the ball better and that's all you really need."
It was the play of Jordan Burke that earned Most Valuable Player honors for the game. Burke had 9 saves on 18 shots.
The biggest threat to the Cannons' title didn't come from one of the many Hamilton young players — Rookie of the Year Boltus, Kevin Crowley, or Kevin Ridgway among others — but from midseason addition and lacrosse legend Casey Powell.
Powell scored four goals — three unassisted — and took over the offense in the second half at midfield and taking turns down low. Powell was visibly limping off the field after the game and said it was a knee injury.
"Really proud of the guys, the way they battled and battled to the end there," coach Regy Thorpe said.
And for Boston, a franchise with a fanbase eager for an MLL championship that ranked second in the league in attendance this year, the win was just as much about those back home as it was the players on the field.
"This is special. This is for fans up there most importantly," Daye said. "I probably got 20-30 emails saying good luck, get it done."

Tom Meagher has been left haunted by the horrors his wife, Jill, encountered in the early hours of September 22 last year, when she was raped and murdered.
''I think of the waste of a brilliant mind and a beautiful soul at the hands of a grotesque and soulless human being,'' Mr Meagher wrote in a victim impact statement read on his behalf to the Victorian Supreme Court.
''I am half a person because of this crime.''
In telling how her death had left him ''shattered to the core'', Mr Meagher's words elicited an emotional response from his wife's killer, Adrian Bayley, who wiped away a tear, one of his few movements over the three-hour hearing.
Bayley, 41, who will be sentenced next Wednesday, later apologised to Ms Meagher's family through his lawyer. But there would be no acceptance from her husband, who in his statement said his faith in society had been rocked at learning how ''deeply depraved a human being can be''.
Tom and Jill Meagher met and married in their native Ireland but chose Melbourne as the place to begin their life together. Mr Meagher said he had left Brunswick since his wife's murder.
Mr Meagher also spoke of the anguish in the days after his wife's disappearance, knowing that many people suspected he was responsible.
Six victim impact statements were read to the court.
Ms Meagher's father, George McKeon, told Justice Geoffrey Nettle of the heartache of knowing that his daughter was keen to start a family.
Not long before her death, Ms Meagher visited her parents in Western Australia after her father had a stroke, to extract a promise that he be around to help raise grandchildren.
''She wanted her children to have a young granddad to run around with,'' Mr McKeon said between pauses, as he struggled to remain composed.
''I will never see my daughter bearing and rearing her children. I have no other daughters.
''My wife of 30 years will never be a maternal grandmother, a distinction between a mother's bond with the child … that maternal line has ended.''
Ms Meagher's mother, Edith, was too ill to attend, but wrote of the loneliness she had endured in the past nine months and the panic attacks, sleepless nights and fear she lived with.
''I have been given a life sentence,'' Mrs McKeon said.
Ms Meagher's brother, Michael, wrote of the ''dreadful pain'' in his life after his sister's death.
Aoife, a friend of Ms Meagher's, wrote of the impact Ms Meagher's abduction had on her.
She wrote that she was haunted by the way her friend was abducted in a busy area and raped and killed in a laneway near where she lived.
She wrote that she was constantly reminded of what had happened, especially when she walked around Brunswick and when she heard of other crimes involving violence against women.
''I wonder if what was so easily done to Jill could be done to me,'' she said.

Archaeological finds confirming Sohag's importance during ancient Egyptian times have brought the city to the forefront. A major stronghold for the Coptic Christian community of Egypt, Sohag is home to the Red and White Monasteries. It also has two sites of ancient repute — the Temple of Ramses II and the statue of Meret Amun, Ramses II's daughter — that were discovered only a few years ago. The nearby city of Akhmim provides a short day-trip out of Sohag for tourists.

A decade ago, the Justice Development Party of Turkey gained power, and took away power from the military which for decades had decided who would govern in the land. Since obtaining power, Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has installed a regime that is more alike that once led by the military. Slowly, but surely, he has taken power away from independent agencies of the government. The once independent judiciary has lost power, the police made a mistake of investigating corruption by the Erdogan family, schools must now toe the official line. Students who have protested often wind up in jail, and Turkey now leads the world in the number of journalists who are in prison.
The latest power grab by Erdogan is to give power to the Higher Education Board(whose leaders he appoints) to decide executive boards of universities–even private universities. This Board will decide who gets tenure, who gets a promotion, and they will even volunteer to assist college professors in deciding what to teach. The next step for Erdogan is to become President, and make that office all powerful.

About Westmalle Tripel
Westmalle Tripel is a clear, golden yellow Trappist beer that undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle (9,5% alcohol). It is a complex beer with a fruity aroma and a nice nuanced hop scent. It is soft and creamy in the mouth, with a bitter touch carried by the fruity aroma. An exceptional beer, with a great deal of finesse and elegance. And with a splendid long aftertaste. The Westmalle Tripel is indeed called the "mother of all tripels". This type of beer was first brewed in Westmalle abbey in 1934 when the new brewing hall came into use. The current formula has stayed practically unchanged since 1956, thus more than 50 years. This beer is generally served in 33 cl bottles, precisely the volume of the accompanying glass goblet. The bottles are sold individually, in handy packs of six or in crates of 24 bottles. And of course this beer is served in the better horeca outlets. Tripel is also available in 75 cl bottles. It is remarkable that the beer matures differently in these larger bottles. The fruity aroma is somewhat softer and riper, and the beer gets a light touch of vanilla.

Wow - I can't believe it's been two years since I wrote last. Then again, I'm a dog. I don't naturally gravitate toward writing.
Anywho, since my last entry, we have happily settled in to our house. We have a huge yard, and there are a bunch of dogs in the neighborhood - yes! Although I really do miss my pal Tanner, who lived next to me at our old house.
Our current next door neighbor, Dee, is a really nice older lady who gives me treats everyday. She was giving me six treats a day until Mom called a halt to it. Dang it!! Mom said I was getting pudgy again. Now Dee just gives me two a day. Oh well - better than nothing.
A few months ago Mom and Dad tried to adopt another dog into the family, much to my disliking. His name was Sawyer - he was a big dog, a mutt, and was a big lug. Dad really liked him - Mom was on the fence about him. Needless to say, I wasn't very happy about this new arrangement. Thankfully, Sawyer sank his boat when he "exploded" downstairs, causing Mom and Dad to rethink the idea of a big dog. They decided to give him back to his foster family, who wound up keeping him. THAT was a close one.
Time marches on and find myself getting older. I'm 5 now! That's crazy! I'm almost a middle-aged dog. I still act like a puppy from time to time, though. However, I really do enjoy snoozing on Mom and Dad's bed.
Ciao for now!
So lately Mom and Dad have been talking a lot about this "new house." I'm starting to get suspicious. Are we moving AGAIN? Just when I've marked everything in the backyard, they up and move me. Great. Well, this new place better provide me with ample running, barking and pooping space. Of course that won't stop me from leaving a nice steamer downstairs in the new basement every now and then. It's my calling card, if you will.
Anywho, I'm not sure what to think of this new house, but time will tell. Mom mentioned that there are two German Shepards that live in the house behind us. Swell. Nothing like living next to cops. Who knows, maybe they'll be cool.
Have a great rest of the summer everyone.
We go through this every morning. I go outside, do my - uh - business, and I get a nice treat for my efforts. Usually a greenie or these weird dehydrated chicken strips. But NO - not this morning!!! Mom just looked down at me and said, "You don't need a treat every day, Baxter." If I had a middle finger, I think you know what I would have done with it after that statement.
My only solace is the knowledge that Spring is almost here, and soon I'll be frolicking outside in the evenings when Mom and Dad come home, and all day on the weekend. There's nothing I enjoy more than lying in the sun. But what dog doesn't, really?
Soon Mom will be out in the garden, and I again will pestering her to no end.
Ah, the joys of Spring.

Hi everyone, I just started to remove my upper intake on my 93 sts to clean the egr mouseholes and phenolic spacers. As soon as I removed th top cover plate(functional on 93 northstars) . I noticed a light dusting of oil or fuel all over the black plastic intake and the smell of fuel. I suspect my fuel pressure regulator may be leaking fuel through the vaccuum port on top. I think the extra fuel may be getting sucked into the intake ports. The car is not really hard to start ever, however i did fail a recent emmissions test on Hydrocarbons. You guys advised me to check the fuel pressure reg. How do i test the fuel press regulator at this point? I was thinking of borrowing a vaccum test pump and seeing if the regulator will hold vaccum. How much vaccum should I apply ? I should have tested the fuel pressure before disassembly but too late now. Is there any other way to test it?The car has had poor fuel economy but otherwise runs quite well.

Bad Circuit Breaker????
Had power (volts/amps) to a circuit...receptacle, small wall heater and another receptacle (all 110vac). My grandson was pulling the plug out of the 1st receptacle....installed a "twist and snap closed" receptacle cover. He kept pulling the plug out but it snapped closed.
Lost power to all 3 (2 receptacles and heater). Same circuit where plug was being pulled out. Have replaced the 1st receptacle, all lug connections, no back wiring, still no power. Checked everything with voltage checker and wand...nothing. Checked all breakers (on/off test and tested with wand) not finding a bad breaker. Bought a Breaker Finder/Tester. Will that be reliable in finding a faulty breaker, if that's the case? Don't want to start pulling breakers out unless I'm fairly certain.
Any other thoughts or ideas?
Moved to Electrical forum.
Check the connections at the last working or first non-working receptacle.
There is NO way you can accurately troubleshoot with a want tester alone.
You say you checked all the breakers and they did show power with the wand anyway. What makes you thin it is a bad breaker?
For you and anyone else reading this in the future. 99% of the time the breaker is either good, or is good and doing it's job if tripping. It's most likely NOT a bad breaker.
