The federal government donated more than $1 million to the Catholic Church towards the canonisation of Mary MacKillop but refused to acknowledge a request to contribute any money to sexual abuse victims, an inquiry has heard.
Abuse survivor Mark Fabbro approached then foreign minister Kevin Rudd at the canonisation celebrations in Rome in 2010 after hearing of the $1.25 million contribution made by the Labor government.
Mr Fabbro told the Victorian parliamentary inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious and other organisations on Monday that he wrote a letter to Mr Rudd while in Rome, asking him how the government would help financially struggling abuse survivor groups.
"No response was ever received to that request," he told the inquiry.
At a press conference in Rome on October 18, 2010, he again approached Mr Rudd and asked, "in the spirit of Mary MacKillop", what was the government going to do to help provide justice for abuse victims.
"Rudd replied 'the church has dealt in many cases from the past and where there have been imperfections in the process they have sought to improve those processes'."
Outside the hearing, Mr Fabbro said it was a reflection on the government's reluctance to tackle the church.
"He was saying the church has got its processes, so it must be alright. Well it's not alright," he said.
Mr Fabbro, from the Australian arm of international Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), gave evidence on Monday alongside two colleagues from the group, including its American founder and president Barbara Blaine.
Ms Blaine said inquiries around the world have come up with stark similarities to the Australian experience, including claims of sexual violence, cover-ups, moving priests between parishes, bullying and intimidation, destruction of evidence, manipulation, secrecy and a priority to protect the reputation of the church ahead of protecting children.
She said while her own abuse as a 13-year-old in the United States was devastating, the most painful aspect was realising that church authorities were dishonest and did not care about the innocence of children.
"What was devastating to recognise was church officials were covering up these crimes and enabled and even empowered predators to have access to more children," she said.
Despite 6000 US priests being named as paedophiles - a figure she believes is much smaller than reality - Ms Blaine said Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City is the only senior church figure to have been convicted for covering up sex crimes.
He was only given a suspended sentence and is still a bishop.
Pope John Paul II even wrote a congratulatory letter to a bishop for covering up sex crimes, she said.
"Bishops here in Victoria follow the same directives and guidelines and policies from the Vatican that have caused the devastation of child abuse across the globe and certainly right here in the state of Victoria."
Nicky Davis, from the Sydney chapter of SNAP, told the inquiry it may take the conviction of an Australian bishop or cardinal for the cover-ups to end.
Ms Blaine said the abuse and cover-ups constitute a crime against humanity and SNAP has a submission before the International Criminal Court requesting an investigation into high-ranking Vatican officials, including the Pope.

Here in the United States, we have certain rights.
One of those rights is the right to keep and bear arms.
Here is the thing: Are we, because of a handful of nuts that have access to guns and cause injury and death, willing to limit all people?
Because of what a few extreme people in the Muslim faith have advocated, there has been injury and death to U.S. citizens. These extreme Muslims are the cause of the violence.
The action of 9/11 was done because of these extreme Muslims. Fort Hood was done for the same reason. Both acts caused death and injury.
I have not heard from anyone that we should be putting limits on the Muslim faith, like banning the Muslim faith. That would punish the whole faith for the acts of just a few.
That would be wrong.
We would not be banning all religion, but we would just be banning the Muslim faith. They could convert to some other religion. They just couldn't be a Muslim anymore.
We would not be banning all guns. You just can't have an assault weapon. You just can't buy an assault weapon or large clip.
Let's spend the time and effort in identifying both kinds of nuts before anything happens, and not start passing laws that would infringe on all of my rights.

After leading the charge towards the Championship since the opening day of the season, Leyton Orient have finally been knocked off their perch by a rejuvenated Wolves.
Orient fell to their first defeat at Brisbane Road since February, courtesy of Simon Grayson's high-flying Preston North End. Orient's record of scoring a goal in every league game this season also came to a grinding halt after the O's failed to respond to Joe Garner's clinical first-half finish.
Orient manager Russell Slade told BBC London 94.9: "It was a tight game. Preston bossed it and made life tough for us in the first half by slowing the game down and dictating the tempo.
"Romain Vincelot is the heartbeat of the team and he was missed today."
On the other hand, Ethan Ebanks Landell's first ever Wolves goal helped to seal all three points against bottom-of-the-league Notts County, who suffered their third straight defeat under the new leadership of Shaun Derry.
Wolves were inspired to the 1-0 victory by 2,730 away fans at Meadow Lane, which helped generate a bustling crowd of 7,520 supporters and created Notts County's biggest home attendance of the season.
Kenny Jackett told the BBC: "Yes, it is great for our supporters and us to be top of the league, and that puts us there to be shot at now. We have to understand that everyone's motivation level will be very high against us."
Nevertheless, Wolves have righteously grasped their mantle at the top of League One having failed to lose a single game away from the Molineux this season. Furthermore, the persistent attacking threat of Bakary Sako and Leigh Griffiths have wreaked havoc on every defence the league has to offer.
Arguably, Sako should certainly be playing at a higher level than League One having garnered interest from Fulham and Nottingham Forest during the summer transfer window, only for a deal to Forest to be aborted in the final hour. Regardless, Sako has created more goals for Wolves than anyone else this season after generating six assists.
Additionally, Griffiths has scored ten goals for Wolves following his loan-return from Hibernian in the summer. With the blistering pace and sublime skill of Sako combined by the clinical finishing of Griffiths, Wolves' target to clamber back into the Championship looks destined to take place.
However, Wolves meet Uwe Rosler's Brentford next week who are currently in scintillating form after winning their last five league games. Rosler's men will also be arriving at Molineux on the back of a ruthless 5-0 demolition job of Crewe Alexandra.
Evidently, next week's fixture will either cement Wolves' status as the kingpins of the division, or promote Brentford's desire to erase the wounds of last years play-off final defeat by beating the bookies' favourite for promotion on their own patch at Molineux.

YOUKYUNG LEE AP Technology Writer
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) � Google Inc. has helped fill the gap in one of the last remaining information black holes in the world by releasing a detailed map of North Korea that adds street names, monuments � and its notorious prison camps.
Information on streets, parks, monuments and train stops in the capital of Pyongyang showed up on Google Maps� formerly blank map of North Korea this week. Until Tuesday, the isolated communist regime was the last place on Google Maps where no data was available beyond the capital city�s name.
The revision came just a few weeks after Eric Schmidt, Google�s executive chairman, visited the country as part of nine-person delegation to North Korea. During the four-day personal trip that was opposed by the U.S. government, Schmidt visited computer labs at North Korea�s top university and chatted with students there.
Google said there is �absolutely no connection in the timing� of the map�s launch and Schmidt�s North Korea visit.
Google said a community of �citizen cartographers� started building the North Korea map in 2009 based on satellite images, public information and local knowledge through a tool called Map Maker that allows collaboration on maps through crowd-sourcing. An average North Korean would not likely be able to contribute, however, since only a select few have pre-approved Internet access.
The U.S. company decided that it had enough information to make the map available to public this week.
Jayanth Mysore, Google�s senior product manager, said on Google�s official blog that the North Korea map is �not perfect� and asked for more contributions.
Through Google Map Maker, a service launched in 2008, users can add data to maps of places lacking accurate and detailed maps, like Pakistan and Afghanistan. Local residents can update maps of their communities with details like new bike paths that governments or other authorities can�t easily track.
The map of the North Korean capital offers more details than other parts of the country, including the names of streets and the location of the square named after the country�s late founder, Kim Il Sung.
Google Maps also links to photographs taken in North Korea. Many of these photos show streets and buildings of Pyongyang taken by visitors while some photos are from North-Korea focused websites, such as NKeconWatch.com.
The rest of the country remains mostly blank but some airports, highways, universities and major streets are marked.
The map also marks at least four places where North Korea�s government is suspected of operating prison camps.
An Myung-chul, who heads a nonprofit organization called Free the NK Gulag in Seoul that gathers information from former North Korean prisoners, said Google Maps� information on North�s prison camps are �mostly accurate� although a concentration camp near Kaechon should be farther south.
The group said it believes there were five prison camps in North Korea before one was shut down in mid-2012 based on its analysis of satellite images and testimonies from former prisoners.

Twice a year, summer and winter, English Heritage publishes a fascinating magazine called Conservation Bulletin. It is intended for those it calls 'conservation specialists, opinion-formers and decision makers'; it is a wonderful magazine, as it gives an insight into the concerns and policies of English Heritage, the body we all love to hate. Occasionally I find myself in full agreement; often I am persuaded by it; but occasionally, very occasionally, I regret to say that I find myself in disagreement. Take for example the latest number, issue 69, for Winter 2012.
Thus in an article entitled 'The context for future action: the National Heritage Protection Plan' an 'action plan' is published with eight different 'Measures', none of which mention costs or money. English Heritage gives the impression that it is living in an airy-fairy dreamworld where money grows on trees and everyone can put their hands in their pockets and draw out limitless sums of money. I'm sorry, but the real world is not like that. English Heritage should come down to a earth

Awesome! How long is it expected to take to totally implement the new upgrade?
So now I too can reminisce about the "old board"?
Besides a lot of new moderation and admin tools, this version has the much anticipated feature of members being able to ignore specific people.
Remember back on the old board? When everyone was still awesome? And all the things where the way we like our things?Yeah.That was great.

Use fabulously flavoured new-season rhubarb in these easy to make, quick cook pies. Orange juice and cinnamon give the berries and rhubarb a citrus lift with gentle spice undertones. It's a lovely combination. A dollop of vanilla ice cream would round things off nicely.
Rhubarb and mixed berry pies
500g rhubarb, cut into 2cm pieces
280g castor sugar
180g frozen mixed berries
2 tbsp plain flour
3 tbsp orange juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten
Heat oven to 220C. Combine rhubarb, sugar, berries, flour, orange juice and cinnamon in a bowl, mix well and divide among four one-cup capacity ovenproof dishes. Cut four seven-centimetre-diameter rounds from pastry, place on a lightly greased oven tray then brush with egg wash.
Place dishes on a tray on the bottom shelf of the oven and pastry rounds on the top shelf. Bake for 10-11 minutes until pastry is golden and rhubarb is cooked. Serve each dish with a pastry round on top dusted with icing sugar, if desired.
Serves 4

(Ed. note: I've published this post every year on my birthday. It was originally published on this date in 2007, so some of the info is dated. I've taken the liberty of including some notes where updates are needed)
I'm proud to share my birthday with the greatest group of human beings ever assembled. Spanning the ages, us 13thers have kicked some ass. Here's my homage to those who came before, and those that are still here crampin' my style.
Fidel Castro (1926) – I don't care if your duties have been transferred to your brother Raul, in my mind, you still rule.
Danny Bonaduce (1959) – Congratulations on openly taking steroids and getting less heat than Barry Bonds. Well played, oh red-haired one.
Marty Turco (1975) – In the regular season, you're a beast. Too bad they don't give out Stanley Cups at the end of the regular season.
Mark Lemke (1965) – For some reason, I cherished your baseball cards. I didn't even know you were born on my birthday then. I thought you were awesome. You fooled me. However, you were the inspiration for Homestar Runner. That boggles my mind.
Don Ho (1930) – Rest in Peace. I, too, dig tiny bubbles.
Ben Hogan (1912) – The original Tiger. Also known as The Man. (Ed Note: tournament-winning Tiger, not whore-crushing Tiger)
Theophilus Howard, 2nd Earl of Suffolk (1584) – Dominated the Second Charter of Virginia. Also dominated Catherine Knyvet of Charlton.
Jay Buhner (1964) – I had your Bowman Rated Rookie card, and thought it was the coolest because it had a gold cup on it. I was young, and that was one of my first rookie cards. Mariners for life!
Annie Oakley (1860) – Shot some guns.
Phil "The Power" Taylor (1960) – One Hundred and Eighty! Since this is text-only, I guess I have to describe that. I said that in an enthusiastic English voice, like on the World Series of Darts. But you knew that…
Heinrich, count von Brühl (1700) – Dude had twelve tailors, and wore a new suit every day. This fly noble made sure he was always in fresh threads. Innovative.
Shani Davis (1982) – I think you're black.
Katharine Close (1992) – You spelled Ursprache (Blogger spell-check fails to acknowledge this word) to win the 2006 Scripps National Spelling Bee. Lucky for you, because Mike & Mike weren't there yet.
Brittany Andrews (1973) – The only other females on this list so far are the Spelling Bee winner and Annie Oakley. You are a pornstar. Well done.
Arnulf of Metz (582) – Holding down the saintly angle. You are the patron saint of brewing. I couldn't thank you more.
Dan Fogelberg (1951) – You got a mention in BASEketball. I didn't. Fogelberg: 1, PSAMP: 0. (Ed. note: Dan passed away after the original publishing of this post. R.I.P., man)
Corey Patterson (1979) – I needed to boost your spirits, since you play for the Orioles. Happy birthday, buddy! (Ed. note: Has since played Reds, Nationals and Brewers, so…same thing applies)
Eric Medlen (1973) – Rest in Peace. You were taken too early in that unfortunate drag racing accident back in March (Ed. note: 2007). You were a courageous sonuvabitch. Seemed like a good guy.
Aradia de Toscano (1313) – Cool witch. Can you honestly claim that?
Boone Logan (1984) – Boone was … looking to make his first all-star team in the 2007 MLB season. (Ed. note: His Wikipedia profile has since changed. The above quote was all that was in his earlier bio)
Happy birthday to all these spotlight vultures.

Do You Know What it Means, to Adopt from New Orleans?
Do You Know What it Means, to Adopt from New Orleans?
The Iris, or Orleans Evening Post (New Orleans, LA). June 27, 1823. Vol. 1, no. 57.
Catalog Record | Enlarge Image | Adopt a Book Home
This is an unrecorded daily New Orleans newspaper that appeared on ebaY. It was started by the New Orleans Typographical Association in May 1823. According to an article in the Salem Gazette (MA) of June 3, 1823, this paper was started by "Journeymen Printers, who allege that they are driven to this undertaking by the oppression of the Master Printers." The editor was Henry T. Beatty who died in September 1823 during an outbreak of Yellow Fever. The paper was quoted in other papers as late as March 1824, so probably ended soon after.

Students in Gilmer High School's Medical Terminology course received training in CPR and the use of Automated External Defibrillators in the American Heart Association's Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers course. The course was taught by Hillary Harris, RN, BSN, the school nurse at the high school, and class teacher. The course was designed to teach students how to identify victims of cardiac arrest and to provide high quality CPR and use of an AED. The new program, named Beats for Buckeyes is aimed toward preparing students at Gilmer High School to respond to cardiac arrest at home and in the community. These students will be certified at the level required for working in a hospital or doctor's office, which helps them in securing employment in the future. If anyone would like to make a donation to the program to help fund the certification of more students at Gilmer High School, you can contact Hillary Harris at 903-841-7505 or email@example.com. This is just another example of how Gilmer ISD is preparing our students for the college and career experience, and to be assets to the community as a whole.
Gilmer High School is currently in the process of becoming the first certified Heart Safe School in the East Texas area.

'Good Morning New Orleans' Anchor Jon Huffman to Retire August 1st
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – WGNO, Tribune Broadcasting's ABC Television Network affiliate for the greater New Orleans area, today announced the retirement of "Good Morning New Orleans" Anchor Jon Huffman. Huffman, who has co-anchored WGNO's "Good Morning New Orleans" since 2008, will sign off on August 1st.
"Jon is the journalist's journalist. He is thorough, fair, balanced, and curious. I will miss Jon's knowledge of New Orleans and the region. He's a wealth of information. He always brought his viewers the most accurate information or interesting insight on a daily basis," said Rick Erbach, News Director, WGNO. "Jon was a fabulous mentor for new employees on Good Morning New Orleans. His easy going nature helped them make the transition to waking up in the early morning hours a little easier. He'll be missed. Sleep in Jon. You've earned it."
"I will deeply miss my co-workers at WGNO and the fun spirit of 'Good Morning New Orleans.' But I certainly won't miss the alarm clock going off at 2:30 in the morning! It's time to move on to a more relaxed—and relaxing—phase of my life," said Huffman.
Huffman's distinguished media career began in 1976 as a radio host in his hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. In 1978 he switched to television news as an on-air reporter, working at stations ranging from North Carolina to West Virginia. From 1980 through 1990, Huffman hosted and co-produced the nationally-franchised program "PM Magazine," winning four regional Emmy Awards for feature segments produced for the program. In 1990 Huffman relocated to New Orleans where he served as reporter/anchor for WVUE-TV transitioning to WGNO in 2008 where he has anchored for the last 6 years.

Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer and was one of six Oakland players to drive in a run as the Athletics cruised past the Cincinnati Reds with a 7-3 victory in the first of a two-game interleague set.
Seth Smith, Yoenis Cespedes, Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Stephen Vogt each drove in one run apiece for the Athletics, who had dropped two straight and four of five coming in.
Tommy Milone allowed all three runs on six hits and four walks over 4 2/3 innings, while Pat Neshek (2-1) earned the win after tossing one inning of two-hit shutout ball.
Joey Votto provided a solo homer and Jay Bruce and Shin-Soo Choo also drove in a run for Cincinnati, losers in four of five.
Bronson Arroyo (6-6) was charged for all seven runs on seven hits and lasted just four frames in defeat.
Oakland plated two runs in the second. Moss hit a one-out double and Donaldson followed with an infield single, though Moss was unable to move to third. Reddick brought Moss home with a double to center and Vogt then provided a sacrifice fly to score Donaldson for his first career MLB RBI.
The A's again roughed up Arroyo, this time in the third, with four more runs to push their lead to 6-0. Coco Crisp walked and Jed Lowrie singled in between a Smith fly out. Cespedes' RBI single provided the first run and Moss' sacrifice fly to right added another. Donaldson rounded out the scoring with a two-out blast to left on a first-pitch offering.
Votto finally put the visitors on the board in the fourth with a homer to left, though, the hosts tacked on another run in the home half on Smith's two- out single, scoring Crisp, who walked and advanced to second on a wild pitch.
Milone was forced out in the fifth after showing signs of fatigue. Cesar Izturis doubled with one down and Derrick Robinson singled. Choo smacked a sacrifice fly to force the second out, though Milone walked three straight batters, the latter being Jay Bruce. That allowed a run to score and close the deficit to 7-3.
Neshek fanned Chris Heisey to leave the bases full.
Cincinnati loaded the bases in the sixth, but Jerry Blevins induced a fly out from Votto.
Choo flied out to leave a pair of runners in scoring position in the eighth.
Game Notes
Arroyo was 4-1 with a 2.14 ERA over his last eight starts coming in ... Robinson finished with a career-high four hits ... Crisp walked and scored twice ... Oakland went 4-for-6 with runners in scoring position ... It was Arroyo's shortest start since lasting three frames on July 16, 2012 ... The Reds will be without second baseman Brandon Phillips for this series as he attends to a family matter.

Hi experts,
I've been using Sabayon 4.2 gnome with "acpi=off" declared in grub.conf and I don't have any problem with compiz, until I upgrade successfully to Sabayon 5 via Entropy. The first thing I noticed is the intermittent blinking of the screen, "acpi" problem, I told myself. So I open a terminal and edit "grub.conf" and add "acpi=off" to the kernel options and reboot. After the login screen, the screen suddenly turns white and all I can see is the black mouse arrow which I can move. compiz crashed, I thought. ..so I press "ctrl-alt-F2", login as root and disable compiz and reboot. All goes well, except that the eye candy were all gone. ...I then removed "acpi=off" in grub.conf and reboot again. ..again the screen is blinking intermittently, but when I clicked on "Compiz Fusion Icon", the eye candy is back, but the screen continues to blink intermittently. ...again I open a terminal and inserted back "acpi=off" in grub, reboot. ..and again, after log-in the screen turns white (compiz crashed). ...so I conclude that "acpi=off" and compiz has a problem in Sabayon 5. ..I didn't experience it in Sabayon 4.2. ...I tried to google it but hasn't found any useful solutions yet. ..any help is greatly appreciated. ...thanks.

Reviews forPear Gingerbread Cake Roll
My Review

"My first attempt at a cake roll was this recipe tonight and it was fun and easy! I must admit I was a bit nervous about the rolling part but it all worked out! The end result is a truly delicious tasting dessert. I will never make plain whipped cream again - the cinnamon and ginger added so much flavor! This recipe is a keeper and will definitely make it again!"
"Looking forward to trying this one!!!!!!!"
"Jellyroll cakes tend to be forgotten in the era of overdone "fancy" cakes. They shouldn't be, though. easy to make and present, they're total charmers. This one is terrific for wintertime, nicely spiced with warm flavors. I added a little allspice and nutmeg to the cake and to the filling whipped 2 ounces of cream cheese with the sugar before adding the cream. It definitely was a hit, the cake soft and tender, the filling rich and creamy. Serious yum!"
"I'm going to try this recipe. It sounds good to me. We shall see."

The TL is at the heart of Acura's sedan lineup, sitting above the entry-level TSX and below the range-topping RL. The outgoing TL has enjoyed a lot of success, despite what some would see as the handicap of a front-wheel-drive layout in a field that is increasingly moving to rear-wheel drive. Honda is trying to increase the prestige of the Acura name and is moving both the entry-level TSX and the TL up in size to better match them up against standard-bearers like the Mercedes-Benz C-class and E-class.
Design: Does more equal better?
A recognizable face, which usually means a distinctive grille, is something every luxury carmaker wants, including Acura. How else to explain the multi-faceted, modified-V-shaped gray plastic affair that now adorns the front end of the RDX, the RL, the new TSX, and this new TL? When you see early concept sketches of the TL, the grill actually fits in with the sculpted hood and the overall look of the car. But on the production car it strikes us as an oddly shaped appendage that looks out of place. The rear styling is more successful, distinctive but not strange. In profile, the TL seems familiar, as it repeats the prominent front wheel arch seen on the TSX (and some Infinitis) and its greenhouse and roofline hew to current luxury-sedan norms. If the TL looks bigger, that's because it is. Just like its little brother, the TSX, the TL with this redesign has grown quite a bit, in keeping with its upmarket ambitions. The car is more than half a foot longer and nearly two inches wider. The larger size yields a bit more trunk space and rear-seat room.
Inside: a big hug
The TL's interior has been redesigned in a twin-cockpit style for the front seat occupants, with metal trim that twists and curves as it wraps around from door to dash to console. The effect might be confining, if the cabin had not grown wider. The comfortable seats embrace you with deep side bolsters, enhancing the wraparound feeling. Both front seats are power, with memory for the driver's side, and seat heaters are included. Leather is standard, but more-supple, fragrant "Milano" leather is part of the technology package option. The dash is more stylized than before, but still readable. The quality of interior materials is very good.
First traffic, now weather
The previous TL was an early adopter of real-time traffic information, incorporated into the navigation system. The new TL goes a step further by adding weather info-including radar weather maps, forecasts, and alerts-supplied by XM satellite radio. The navigation system, which also includes an eight-inch screen, voice recognition, and a rear-view camera, is part of the aforementioned technology package. Two other elements to this geek's dream are keyless ignition and Acura's ELS audio system, a 440-watt, 10-speaker powerhouse with DVD audio and a 12.7-gig hard drive. Like the standard TL stereo, the ELS unit can also has USB and aux inputs (with seamless iPod integration), Bluetooth connectivity, and standard XM satellite radio (the latter includes a note function, which can remember the title and artist and a sample snippet of up to 30 different songs).
Bigger car, bigger engines
Like the previous TL, the new car comes in two versions, with two different V-6 engines. The base car's V-6 has grown from 3.2 to 3.5 liters. Output is up from 258 hp to 280, with an additional 21 lb-ft of torque for a total of 254 lb-ft. Fuel economy, however, remains 18/26 mpg. Replacing the old Type-S as the top model is the new SH-AWD. Its V-6 displaces 3.7 liters, and makes 305 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque. As its name implies, the SH-AWD also comes standard with all-wheel drive, a first for the TL. Fuel economy for TL SH-AWD drops by 2 mpg (highway) compare to the old Type-S, for an estimated 17 city/24 highway. We were sad to see a manual transmission disappear from the TL options list. It will return for 2010, but for now a five-speed, paddle-shift automatic is the only available gearbox.
We started our drive in the base TL, where we were concerned about 280 hp and 254 lb-ft of torque flowing to the front wheels. But cranking the wheel and stomping on the gas elicited only minor tugging at the wheel. Honda engineers reduced the front-end lift under acceleration, which creates less change in driveshaft angle and helps mellow torque steer. Of course, torque steer is not a factor for the SH-AWD, which can send up to 70 percent of its power to the rear wheels. The all-wheel-drive system also features Honda's torque-vectoring capability, with clutch packs on either side of the rear differential that can open and close to transfer torque across the rear axle. The 305-hp car has a sporty exhaust note, and its shorter final drive ratio helps it sprint from 0 to 60 mph about one-half-second quicker than the base car, according to Honda.
Chassis tuners win some, lose some
Once again, Honda uses a control arm (or double wishbone) design for the TL's front suspension, and a new multilink setup at the rear. Both versions of the car have been engineered to better resist body roll, brake dive, and squat under acceleration. The SH-AWD has further stiffened springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars. The overall effect is that the new TL is remarkably tied down over busy, bumpy roads, shrugging off dips, heaves, and bumps in the manner of the best European cars. The new TL remains poised and planted charging down back roads in a way that its predecessor never did. We'd say the new car inspires more confidence as well, but the switch to electric-assist power steering, which is too light and too quick on-center, unfortunately has sabotaged some of that confidence. Despite the firmer suspension, the TL still rides agreeably, but buyers who prize bump isolation should pass up the optional nineteen-inch wheels, which telegraph impacts more faithfully than the standard seventeens.
Still one for the head more than the heart
Once again the TL is a very good choice among luxury, or near-luxury, sedans. The exterior styling is a matter of personal taste, of course, but we find ourselves preferring the appearance of the old car; the new interior, however, is indeed seductive. The addition of all-wheel-drive is a bonus not just for bad weather but for drivability as well; too bad it extracts a fuel economy penalty in highway driving. If you're fine with front-wheel drive, the base car is roomier and more powerful than before, yet it's just as economical. We're impressed with the new chassis tuning, but would like to see Acura work harder to regain the natural steering feel of the old hydraulic system. We're also sad to lose the manual transmission option, even just for a year. The TL is certainly a techno-geek's delight, with its all-singing, all-dancing stereo and up-to-the-minute navigation system. Aside from the items covered here, the TL has also earned a reputation for solid reliability and good resale value, two items which we expect will continue with this new model.

This traffic sucks!!
Opportunity Seized
It was there for the taking.
It was there when Michigan had a first-and-goal on their third possession, when Vincent Smith—yes, Vincent Smith—threw an interception in the end zone.
It was there on each of the next four drives, each ending with a Denard Robinson interception.
It was there when—despite the above—Michigan faced just a ten-point deficit on their first possession of the second half, when they drove to the Notre Dame 16, only to lose a Robinson fumble.
It was there when the defense forced a do-or-die third-and-four with 2:35 on the clock, only to see Tyler Eifert beat J.T. Floyd down the sideline for a 38-yard completion.
In a game that felt like karmic retribution for the last three years, however, Michigan never seized control, instead making error after crippling error until there were no more errors to make. The defense did everything in their power to overcome the offense, holding Notre Dame to just 239 yards on 4.8 yards per play and forcing two interceptions of their own. They could not stop Robinson from turning the ball over, though, and in the end it was a triumphant Tommy Rees kneeling the clock out.
The turnovers overshadowed a stellar defensive effort, one that will sadly be forgotten in the aftermath. Notre Dame starting quarterback Everett Golson was completely ineffective, completing just one fewer pass to Michigan (two) than he did to his own team. The Irish rushing attack never got going, gaining 94 yards on 31 carries. Jordan Kovacs (7 tackles, 1 TFL) and Jake Ryan (5 tackles, all solo) both turned in outstanding games. With no margin for error, however, all it took was two poor plays on third downs—a pass interference by freshman Jarrod Wilson on the goal line and the final pass to Eifert—to foil an otherwise textbook Mattison game.
On offense, the bright spots are fewer and farther between. Fitz Toussaint finally got some holes to run though and looked like his nimble 2011 self when he found them. Roy Roundtree make a few crucial catches after largely disappearing from the offense this year. Al Borges added a promising wrinkle when Devin Gardner took an end-around only to throw downfield to fullback Joe Kerridge, drawing a pass interference on the opening drive. That's about it.
As I'm sure will be said ad nauseam in the coming bye week, all of Michigan's goals are still within reach. The Big Ten is awful and still very much there for the taking. If the Wolverines are to seize that chance, however, they'll have to be far more opportunistic than they were tonight, when a fourth straight victory over the Irish slipped through their fingers and into the hands of a team more willing to take advantage.
He turned Dink and Dunker moxie qb Cade McNown into a first rounder and Jason Campbell into an NFL qb. Borges cant throw the ball for Denard. Borges cant run a better route than Devin Gardner who broke off his route on one of Denard's INTS.
This was just one of those games. We have been on the good end of the them in past and today we weren't.
Defense was encouraging and offense moved the ball. This team will win a lot of games.
When was the last time we didn't score an offensive touchdown ? My goodness, this is so un-Michigan...... we didnt score a td. After that fourth pick he should've been benched for Bellomy. Denard can fly but cerebral he is not, and this is a real problem.
The man has a point. Denard's turnovers are a serious problem.
Funny how I thought our Denard was our rock and our defense was suspect. Tonight was backwards all around. Great seeing the defense step up so many times, though. They did their job, and then some.
Looks like he has been, now, finally.
One game at a time.
Disappointed in the loss and all of the turnovers (minus all the points) but as others have said I do think there are positives from this game (defense owning, offense moving the ball pretty well).
Definitely think we can contend in the Big Ten and hope that our coaches and players continue to work to get better over the next 8-9 games in order so we can make the hopeful bowl game interesting.
One game at a time nice time for a bye and take heart I do think we are making progress.
BIG action, I actually think Minnesota and Northwestern have a shot at this division with the right outcomes.
MInne's crossover games are Wisconsin/Purdue/Illinois. Anyone think they can't win all 3 of those with some breaks. Get an upset win or two vs Neb/MSU/UM and they'd be sitting pretty
Northwestern's crossover games are Indiana/Penn State/Illinois. Jesus, they'll probably be favored in those 3.
NW is starting to look like a for-real contender.
as much as I was encouraged by our D tonight. Brian Kelly's puckered up big time after the INT in the endzone, that dude was deathly afraid of doing anything remotely even riskey with the lead. ND made no attempt to challenge our D downfield, or even midfield except for a couple passes blazed over the heads of TE's over the middle.
As much as I'd like to think we improved, Kelly made it pretty easy on them. We tackled better, pursued better and didn't seem to be out of position as much but how much attempt was really made to make our defensive work out there?
Purdue will be another tough struggle, and again it will probably come down to our mistakes, how many, often, and how deadly.
I will say I was disappointed that ND was able to pick up six yards on the ground on its first two plays on the last drive, to set up a manageable 3rd and 4. It was an obvious rushing situation and I thought we could have stood up a little better those two plays. The pass to Eiffert was a great call but the relatively short yardage to go set it up. If it had been say, 3rd and 9, there wouldn't have been the same threat of the run to set him free.
But on the whole, it's hard to fault the D given the number of times it was asked to keep ND from extending the lead. The only time it gave up a TD was on a drive extended by a penalty (on a pass that looked pretty uncatchable IMO).
But if JT doesn't stumble, I'm not sure he's not in position to make a play, even after getting beat on the first step.
Our running game sucks.
It's going to be a long season.
MSU ran for 50 yards against ND. We just ran for 161.
What kind of Michigan fan are you? We lost. Our one-of-a-kind quarterback sucks. Our coaches suck. Our lines suck. Our freshman safeties suck. Our running game sucks.
It is not like we just played the number 11 team in the country and beat them pretty well in all phases of the game except stupid mistakes. Nope, we suck and we'll never get better.
The big ten of which Michigan is certainly a member. :s
If ! equals win, how will you mark the non-Bama Ls?
Very disappointed with Team133 tonight. The good thing is I'm drunk.
I think someone else said this, but Notre Dame is a "traditional power", and while this induces eye rolling in most of us, it gives them the same advantages we have, such as resources and recruiting. Honestly, they're probably a year ahead of us in terms of recruiting talent and the coaching staff setting up their system, etc. They consistently get talent, and once they get a staff that can actually do something with it, they will be good, like they may be starting to be.
Also, we're kind of in a weird transition right now ourselves, as we're split between Rodriguez and Hoke players/schemes/talent/etc. IIRC, Rodriguez' first couple classes were highly regarded, and then they dropped off some later. So, the seniors last year and this year were highly recruited, but many of the underclassmen brought in were not. Hoke's guys are clearly very good, but they're all Freshman (that weird 2011 class doesn't count), and next year a new crop of very good Freshman will come in, combined with this year's class who will be sophomores with experience.
The other thing to think about is that any rivalry worth having is worth being competitive, meaning we should have stiff competition from MSU, OSU, and Notre Dame. That's why they're interesting to watch, and the definition of competitive games is that they can go either way. When we win, it's an accomplishment, because it wasn't easy, but conversely, it means we can lose for one reason or another, and we have to be willing to accept that. This could also be a weird blessing in disguise. Think about last year, where we lost two games we maybe could have won, which kept us out of the B1G championship game, where we would probably have been humiliated by Wisconsin, and who knows if we would have gotten a BCS berth that way. If we had won the two games we lost this year, we could be in the MNC talk, and if for some reason we got there or another really high level bowl, we might get really humiliated.
So if we had beaten Alabama and Notre Dame (two pretty good football teams) we would get humiliated in a bowl game?
Anyone who can play with Alabama can play with anyone else...
Clearly Borges would not have recruited Denard as a QB. But they are stuck with each other this year.
Denard and Al are not a match made in heaven. But I'm still amazed how well Borges, a West Coast offense guy, does make good use of Denard's skills.
People forget that we are still in a coaching transition. Last year's exceptional season, where all the close games went our way, hid a lot of this.
We can't expect Borges to commit to becoming a spread guru for one player. That's not what he was hired to do. He was hired to build a program. So he hodge-podges together some West Coast and Spread elements to work with Denard. What else can he do?
... how can you tell the difference between "Denard self-destructing" and ND shutting him down? He certainly wasn't accurate, but not busting long runs isn't on him self-destructing, it's on T'eo and ND closing off his running lanes.
More to the point, if Denard only has bad days against good opposition, that's not "self-destructing", that's playing to the limits of his talent. I think he's got it in him to be better this year, even if the overall numbers will be awful thanks to ND and Alabama ... but I think that saying it's all on him is doing ND a disservice. T'eo in particular had a monster game under less than ideal circumstances and I'm glad that we won't have to face him again. Good luck on Sundays next fall, sir!
Denard picked an awful day to lead Michigan to a six-turnover night, and for all that we had a puncher's chance to win all night - and he hits hard, as ND knows.
Denard giveth, and Denard taketh away. I hope he brings his A-game for MSU.
Why should i be worried about which guy on the roster is most likely to play QB in the NFL?
It's a college football team trying to win college football games and the Big Ten...and it's clearly a transistion year given the number of freshman seeing time on both sides of the ball. There isn't a better option, and Gardner is probably better at WR than he'd be at QB right now. Bellomy has no signficant experience.
So, no, there are no other options. They'll play the rest of the games, Robinson will finish his career way up in the total yardage list and in a few years most fans won't remember his failings, just the incredible runs and the zany, last second comebacks.
Quit bitching and enjoy what you have while you have it.
I could go for a big cold glass of bleach right now
That was simply the worst display of football (by both teams) I have seen in a long long time. How many "great" plays were in the game ... none! Michigan punted once (first drive) was in the red zone 5 times and score 6 points. Edge of your seat ???? my back was flat against my chair the entire game !!
Go Blue!
Although Denard has had many amazing offensive moments I doubt any of us will forget that he now holds the record for most interceptions by a Michigan QB and he has most of the season in front of him. Ugh.
Earlier this very week, another quarterback threw three picks in a single quarter. He didn't get benched, and I'm pretty sure the team is going to ride it out with him. I'm speaking, of course, of Peyton Manning.
Horrible game for Denard. Moving forward . . . .
If Manning had thrown a fourth pick, I'm sure they would have benched him. "What happened" in that game was the Broncos lost, and Manning's poor performance was a major reason why. If he did that on a regular basis, I'm sure he wouldn't be playing anymore. I have no problem holding Denard to that same standard -- or would you rather turn things over to Bellamy, who threw a pick on his first pass after he took over for Denard in the Alabama game?
maybe Devin has improved significantly over the off season, but over his first two years, he didn't do anything to make me feel that he's suddenly an accurate passer who makes good decisions. So your pretense that he would be an obvious improvement over denard seems misguided
to say "at least we won't see... again on the rest of schedule"? We heard it after Alabama, we heard it after Air Force and now we have to hear it after ND. I think MSU's defense will feel just as tough as ND's or Alabama's. They really aren't as good, but they play above themselves against us.
The cold hard reality is this team is not the opportunistic, frankly, lucky team of last year. We forced turnovers last year and were able to overcome our own mistakes. Team 133 is not getting those breaks or not making them and it certainly looks like most of the teams on our schedule are better this year than last.
Northwestern and Purdue are definitely better than last year, Nebraska and OSU will be much harder to beat on their turf and MSU will give us everything we can handle. It will take near mistake-free football to win the conference title this year, not because every team is great, but because our offense isn't really any better than last year or the year before; possibly a little worse. The defense seems a little worse, but it's hard to tell because the only team with a guareanteed strong offense was Alabama.
Overall, we still don't know much about good this team is. Assuming the weather will be decent against Purdue, we should find out a lot more. If nothing else the MSU game will be tell us all we need to know. Unfortunately, we are trying to find some way to get our square peg to fit the round hole that is Michigan football.
There are no guarantees left on this schedule. The closest thing to a guarantee left is that every team we will play will have a good chance to win going into the fourth quarter. Whether it's MAs or turnovers or poor decsisions, this team is not dominant in any one area to the point of guaranteeing victory.
we go back to a strong O-line, a pocket passer, and a dominant RB. Not that I don't like Denard but after five years of scrambling QBs who can't seem to complete passes it'll be nice to (hopefully) get back to a TEAM that commands the field. As dazzling as he can be I'm tired (and have been well before this debacle) of hanging my hopes on one guy having a great game.
Unfortunately, if he can't pass the ball accurately, we're pretty much stuck with a RB at QB (hence our march up the field three yards and a cloud of dust style late in the game).
Really? Wow
That's really offensive. Maybe you should put more thought into your comments.
I hear Bolivia is lovely
If that's in response to DMadCat's post, come on now. Saying that you prefer a pro-style offense is ban-worthy?
Some guy was caved. One of the more racist comments about Denard I've seen.
There is nothing you could say to defend that post. Absolutely the worst thing I have read on here ever.
As bad as the offense and offensive play calling was, I am shocked to say that Michigan was definitely the better team on the field.. We had equivalent defences but our offense was much better.. Now turnovers are not precalculated In my book rather a stupid act.. We just had some players and calls that were willing to do it 6 times.
Honestly I would never diss shoelace, but for one I would agree with his comments, this was his worst game ever and if anything, him and Borges should take the weight of this loss. They had some good calls, but having linebackers intercept him 3 times is just over doing it.. The Vincent smith interception was just plain wrong.. And the fumble was inexcusable.. So sorry shoelace, in this game they should've given you a rest right after the 3rd turnover.. Now it is out of respect for all your previous achievements that I say "I respect you" and you have earned the right to lose a couple of games!! So lets credit this game to your account..
Honestly all respect to a stellar Defence who was shockingly great.. A super O-Line who gave us some holes and some good team effort.. Again Michigan was the better team on the field but it was not meant to be..
Go Ble

Was in Tallahassee for the FSU-Clemson game. Checked my phone every so often and saw how low the score was and then noticed the amount of turnovers.
Needless to say, glad I missed it and I had another game to keep me preoccupied. Also, I don't think I will watch the recording.
Strange as it may sound Purdue might be playing the best all around football in the Big Ten right nowI.
In two weeks Michigan faces the No. 1 passing defense in the league in Purdue.
Purdue is also 3rd in the league in interceptions with 5.
Michigan is pretty good at pass defense too (154 ypg). Which is awesome, until you realize that this probably has something to do with the Wolverines being dead last in the league in rushing defense (12th, 182 ypg).
Offensively they score a ton of points but are still a middling rushing and passing team.
I was actually happy and impressed with both the offense and defense on Saturday...except for one big thing that needs to be changed come big 10 season.
Turnovers? Interceptions? RB's throwing the ball? Eye [email protected]$124 the receiver you're throwing to?
Turnovers being the one big thing. Both sides of the ball played very well on Saturday night except for one guy who made some bad decisions at the exact wrong time. It happens, it shouldn't, but it does.
I can't agree with the statement both sides did well. I will say that I did like the play calling. Also Denard is way better than what we saw Sat night. I know that for a fact. It sucks that his mistakes are usually costly ones.
I had some issues with the offensive playcalling, example "Vince Smith throwing the ball inside the red zone." I was sitting in that end zone and when I saw the pitch I instantly thought "get outside, get outside" Then I instantly thought "What the hell?" That was not the time to get cute.
Yes, Denard had a bad game, but that is not all on him. There are many plays that could have been called to help make your players make plays. We drove the ball well, but shot ourselves in the foot too many times with either a turnover, bad play call or combination of the two.
Luckily, there is still plently of time to make some corrections, discipline decision making, and win the Big 10. This game was not pretty and a fairly disheartening loss (b/c ND is not that good), but, again, I was impressed with the defense and most of the offense.

North Andrew controls 40-6 victory Friday
By PAUL STURM, C-T Sports Editor
LUDLOW — The dreams of the Southwest Livingston Wildcats and their supporters to play for Missouri's 8-man football high school state championship for a second time died on the doorstep Friday night. Instead, the long-successful North Andrew Cardinals will get that chance for the first time.
The unbeaten NAHS Cardinals from Rosendale, 26-22 winners of Southwest Livingston at Ludlow just over a month earlier, on Friday made a more-definitive statement of their qualifications for a trip to this coming weekend's Show-Me Bowl in St. Louis, controlling, but not really dominating, Southwest's Wildcats, 40-6.
North Andrew's 1-2 punch of running backs Zack Officer and Quayde Bauman and better blocking easily overwhelmed Southwest Livingston's more-singularly-focused offense, in terms of consistent productivity as the Cardinals (12-0) scored first and never were less than two scores ahead after the early stages of the second quarter.
After Officer's 1-yard touchdown run and a 2-point conversion pass in the middle of the second stanza made it 16-0, North Andrew, the host Wildcats (10-3) tried to make a game of it.
They got what would be their only points on Ethan Crowe's 14-yards touchdown run around right end, utilizing an outstanding block on the edge by Mason Mehrhoff, with 3:03 left in the opening half. Southwest Livingston could not convert after the touchdown, however, and still trailed by 10, 16-6.
Southwest Livingston's defense then held for one of only three stops on the night and the Wildcats came close to really thrusting themselves back into the thick of things before halftime.
Regaining the ball at their own 15 with a mere 45 seconds on the clock, the Wildcats set three receivers wide – two to the right side – and sent senior Derek Montgomery deep down the left sideline in 1-on-1 coverage. Montgomery beat his man by a stride or two, but E. Crowe's long pass carried a few feet too far, just beyond Montgomery's reach by a stride. What might have gone for six points and brought the Wildcats within a score at intermission and owning huge momentum, instead was a mere incompletion as North Andrew carried its 16-6 lead into the mid-game break.
Receiving the opening kickoff of the second half, North Andrew demonstrated it understood that it need more scores to feel secure.
It got them as quarterback Nate Atkins, who had found Officer for a 9-yards score on a fourth-down pass for the game's first touchdown, hooked up with Austin Dalbey for a 28-yard touchdown pass to cap an efficient 4-plays, 42-yards scoring drive to begin the final half, and then Officer burst 40 yards on a cutback run off left guard to score one snap after Southwest Livingston had narrowly failed to convert on a fourth-and-10 try at midfield.
With the 2-points conversions after each of those scores, what might have been a 16-12 or 16-14 game at halftime had become a 32-6 budding runaway less than four minutes into the second half.
Adkins' quarterback sneak from a yard out with just over 8-1/2 minutes left to play completed the touchdown scoring of the cool evening.
Statistically, the game's score and stats reflected that, in nearly every circumstance, two is greater than one.
While Wildcats junior All-State quarterback/running back Ethan Crowe bruised his way to 160 rushing yards on 38 carries on the night, North Andrew's running-backs tandem of Officer and Bauman teamed for 270 yards on an equal number of carries, with Officer finding paydirt twice among his 23 rushes.
As a team, the greater balance of the Cardinals' dual running threats helped the visitors finish with 269 ground yards on only 40 total carries, while Southwest Livingston managed only 179 rushing yards on 50 totes.
Add on Atkins' two TD throws in four attempts and North Andrew's capacity to hurt the Wildcats in multiple ways easily prevailed over a SLHS club that was almost-totally dependent on E. Crowe. E. Crowe had 38 of his team's50 carries and threw all 11 of its passes. Of the 12 Southwest offensive snaps on which the ball didn't end up in E. Crowe's hands or get thrown by him, the Wildcats gained all of 19 yards.

Gourmet GadgetsGo Back To Guides
Who doesn't love kitchen gadgets? All those meat tenderizers, vegetable peelers and ice cream scoopers designed to make our lives easier have made their way into our kitchen drawers for many years. But how many of you are familiar with a potato ricer? A French mandolin? A strawberry huller? These GOURMET GADGETS have taken convenience to a new level, targeting specific tasks that are unique to one's lifestyle. So all you apple pie bakers, guacamole makers and pasta creators rejoice! Your perfect gourmet gadget has arrived.
Food Preparation Gadgets
Getting food prepared is sometimes the most daunting task, but these nifty gadgets help make the chore an enjoyable experience.
Forget the mess of mashing boiled potatoes by hand. Place the potato in the ricer opening, press the handle down and voila! Little pieces of easy to manage potato that sort of resemble noodles squeeze out of tiny holes. Add the rest of your ingredients and stir for the best mashed potatoes ever.
Ever tried handling a ripe avocado? By the time you're done trying to slice it by hand it ends up looking more like modeling clay. An avocado slicer keeps your hands free from the mess and perfectly slices your avocado into wedges in one move. The slices can then be used to display on a platter, placed on food or in a salad, or mashed for guacamole.
Yes – it can core an apple! And divide it too! This convenient tool cuts and cores your apple in one downward motion for perfect, seedless slices every time.
These handy flat graters originated in the woodworking world where "rasps" are used to shape and file wood. In your kitchen this tool with razor sharp grating edges extracts the best flavor from your foods, whether they be lemon rinds, hard cheeses or ginger, to name a few. Plus, it keeps your fingers protected, gives you better mobility, lets you see how much you've grated, and is easy to clean too.
Forget struggling to remove the tops of your strawberries with small knives dangerously close to your fingers. A huller, which resembles small tongs, plucks the tops off easily and safely, so you can use that knife to slice up your perfectly prepped strawberries for your parfait.
Why spend hours peeling apples for that apple pie bake off when this nifty gadget does the same job in mere seconds? With a simple turn of the handle this superb gadget can pare, core and slice in one easy motion, allowing you to prepare apple after apple without ever breaking a sweat. Great for pears and potatoes too.
This unique, scissor-like tool is surprisingly convenient, safe and easy to use. It quickly chops salad, vegetables, fruits and more, and is designed to chop these foods in any type of bowl. Hey, less dishes to wash…
No more bending over and squinting to read the liquid level in your measuring cup while waiting for the liquid to stop swishing back and forth. The angled, slanted scale is inside the cup where you can conveniently view measurements from above as they're being poured.
Slice your veggies just like the professionals! Quick and easy, you'll have piles of finely sliced and even julienned items in a matter of seconds.
Why would you need to make your own pasta when you can buy a box at the local store? Well, one taste of freshly made pasta will answer that question immediately. Soft, fresh pasta has no equal, and making it yourself is easier than you think with a pasta machine. Just mix the ingredients, set it to the desired thickness and shape, and feed it through the press by turning the handle. You'll never return to store-bought again.
Available as mechanical or digital, a food scale lets you weigh your food and ingredients, whether for precise baking measurements in a recipe or for helping you control portions for healthier eating. One versatile feature to look for lets you weigh both dry and liquid ingredients accurately. Another is "add and weigh", also called "tare", which returns the scale back to zero with each additional item/ingredient put on the scale, and also lets you set the scale to zero after placing an empty bowl on the scale for the ingredients. Also look for models with an ample platform or bowl to place ingredients on/in.
Use these nifty brushes for applying a delicate egg wash to pastries and slathering thick barbecue sauce to grilled chicken. Great for adding marinades to meats, basting foods while they cook and even buttering bakeware. Whether made from natural bristles or high-heat resistant silicone, they will hold lots of liquid while keeping your hands clean.
This convenient tool instantly presses garlic cloves into small crushed pieces with one simple motion, eliminating the need for chopping, and keeping your hands odor-free.
This classic oldie but goodie maximizes the flavor of whole spices and fresh herbs by grinding them. This brings their purest, freshest and most intense qualities to your recipes.
This ingenious, hand operated gadget purees fresh foods like fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses while separating bone, seeds, skin and other undesirable food parts. For varying textures and consistencies, look for food mills that come with more than one grinding disc.
Accessory Gadgets
Sharp edges on removed can lids is a hazard everyone is familiar with, but those days are over. This ingenious can opener removes the lid from below the lip of the can, eliminating those sharp edge hazards from both the can and the lid. Small plier-like grips easily separate and lift the lid from the can, which can also be placed back on for temporary storage.
Bakers know how difficult it is to evenly bake a pie in a hot oven without burning the edges, but a piecrust shield eliminates that worry. Just place the shield, which resembles a large circle, over your fresh or frozen pie and bake as usual. When removed, you'll see the edge has baked evenly to a golden crust without burning.
Knead dough on it, bake on it, and even use arts and crafts items on it. What is it? An innovative baking mat coated with food-grade silicone that takes the place of parchment paper or greasing baking sheets. Just place it right on your regular baking sheet – no greasing required. Withstands high oven temperatures, cleans up in a snap and can be used thousands of times.
The digital meat thermometer with the little probe just graduated to a new level. This incredible gadget allows you to monitor the internal temperature of cooking meats from up to 100 feet away! The wireless remote monitor has an LCD display, and beeps and flashes when meat is ready. So now you can multitask uninterrupted while dinner practically prepares itself.

GRANGER, Ind. -- High winds buffeting much of Indiana have prompted officials to temporarily ban certain trucks from using the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road.
All but far southern and southeastern Indiana remain under a wind advisory until 9 p.m. Monday because of high winds that could produce gusts of up to 50 mph.
The strong winds prompted the operators of the Indiana Toll Road to ban all triple trailers and long double trailers, excluding steel haulers, from using the northern Indiana highway. Driving high-profile vehicles in strong winds can be difficult and result in the vehicles being pushed or flipped over by strong gusts.
Officials say travel along the toll road is expected to become increasingly difficult and dangerous as winds increase Monday morning and afternoon.

For nearly 20 years, the Brazos Food Bank has been piling up the food for those in need.
"We're in our fourth location now," said executive director Bill Thomas. "We started out with about one hundred thousand pounds of food each year or so at that time. Now we're up to about two million pounds of food."
More than 40,000 people benefit from the food bank's work. With as much growth as they've seen, they need a pretty big place to house their goods, and this building in the Brazos County Industrial Park has provided a lot of space.
"We found this facility and were able to move into it around four years ago," said Thomas. "It's 17,500 square feet. When we moved it, we thought it'd be plenty ample, but it's pretty well filled up right now. So we're actually looking to have some expansion in future years on these grounds."
The warehouse is divided into sections for distribution, inventory and processing, and some of the newest additions are their refrigerators and freezers. "We're doing more and more fresh and frozen foods," said Thomas. "This is typically high quality products that we're getting in here. We're emphasizing, more and more, quality proteins and fresh produce."
As the facilities have expanded, so too have the number of people who help out with the group. From its creation by five volunteers looking to help needy families, it still is volunteers who make up the vast majority of workers. There are only five fulltime employees at the food bank.
"So far this year, we've clocked 19,000 hours of volunteer hours," said Rhonda Behrens, the bank's office manager. "This morning, we trained about 30 volunteers. We also have groups and organizations that come in."
"Retired senior volunteer program is a major one of those," said Thomas. "Also, we receive volunteers from student groups at the university and churches, service organizations."
"A lot of our volunteers are court-appointed, so they really are assigned to us," said Behrens. "After they learn a little about the food bank, a lot of them will come back after they've finished their hours and still support us by volunteering here at the food bank."
And the food bank hopes what they collect through the Food for Families drive will keep those volunteers very busy.
Wednesday, KBTX and the Brazos Food Bank will hold the ninth annual Food for Families Food Drive from 5:30 AM until 10:30 PM. KBTX personalities will be at the Brazos Center throughout the day helping to collect food for the bank, and we'll be broadcasting live from the site of the drive. Last year's drive garnered $41,000 and over 200,000 pounds of food for the bank.

An Osceola County man was arrested and police are looking for another suspect after two armed robberies in Isabella County Wednesday night.
Douglas Dershem, 36, of Leroy was arraigned Thursday afternoon on armed robbery, unlawful imprisonment and drug charges.
Dershem is accused of robbing a woman at the Dollar General store in Coe Township just outside of Shepherd at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Mt. Pleasant police are investigating a robbery at the Speedway gasoline station at 201 S. Mission St. at about 10:30 p.m.
During his arraignment by Isabella County Trial Judge William Rush, Dershem said he is trying to get disability, that he and his family were recently evicted from their home and that he has no income.
Dershem asked for a court-appointed attorney, and told the judge he has a lawyer working on his disability case on a contingency basis.
Rush ordered Dershem to remain in the Isabella County Jail on $100,000 cash bond after Isabella County Principal Trial Attorney Mark Kowalczyk asked for a high bond because of Dershem�s criminal history and because of the seriousness of the charges.
Dershem, who was arraigned via video from jail, begged Rush to give him a personal recognizance bond, telling the judge he only has months to be with his wife and children because of a medical condition.
�I�ve got really bad problems,� Dershem said. �I can�t get out of bed in the morning.�
Rush had to warn Dershem to stop talking twice during the arraignment: once when Dershem said �there�s more to the situation� and again when he said that the arraignment was �very one-sided.�
�I�m not saying that I didn�t screw up,� Dershem said before Rush was able to stop him from talking without an attorney.
A 23-year-old St. Louis woman was shopping at the Dollar General store on East Blanchard Road in Coe Township at 8:22 p.m. when Dershem allegedly grabbed her from behind and forced her into a back room in the store, state police Detective Sgt. Gary Green said.
Dershem, who police said was armed with a pair of scissors and threatened to pull a gun from his pocket, allegedly demanded money from the woman and said he would kill her if she screamed, Green said.
Dershem is alleged to have taken the woman�s phone, bound her hand and covered her mouth with a paper towel and tape, and fled the store, Green said.
A state police tracking dog and handler tracked Dershem from the store and found pieces of clothing he is alleged to have discarded, which led troopers to him after he had been found by other troopers, Green said.
Police said Dershem was traveling through the area and that he confessed to the attack on the woman, who was not injured.
As troopers were handling that robbery, Mt. Pleasant police were called to the Speedway station, where a woman reported that a man grabbed her purse and ran away after she left the store.
Public Information Officer Jeff Thompson said the woman and the suspect struggled briefly over the purse, and the suspect was last seen running east on Michigan Street.
In the Speedway robbery, the woman was not injured, Thompson said.
Police are looking for a man described as about 40 years old, standing 5-feet, 10-inches tall with an average build, possibly with some facial hair, and a long gray pony tail.
He was described as wearing a black T-shirt with writing or a logo, and shorts.
Thompson said there were no photographs or video available Thursday morning.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Mt. Pleasant Police through Isabella County Central Dispatch at 989-773-1000 with information that could lead to the identification or arrest of the suspect.

Swoon Soon-ish! Jupiter's Children
Aiming for no less than the scope of Lord of the Rings or the Star Wars saga, Mark Millar's Jupiter's Children (Image) is a planned 12 issue series and follows the holy trinity law by breaking the series up into the three parts. That may be wise as the artist accompanying him on the series is the brilliant but rather slow-working Frank Quitely. The story has been a closely guarded secret - a pretty rare thing in comics these days - and has only been referred to as a multi-generational sci-fi, superhero epic. At least now, thanks to an exclusive from TheHollywoodReporter (see here) we have some character sketches to speculate over:
In the same way that Frank Miller has always said that all his pre-Sin City work was preparation for, or least allowed him to be in the position to do Sin City, Mark Millar has said that all his previous work has been "training" for Jupuiter's Children. In fact he's so serious about the project he says he won't sell the movie rights until the project is finished...

Does anybody have access to the different years of the Datsun Z cars??
I need the back glass opening measurements. I have the Datsun/Nissan restoration catalog and it looks like their back glass rubber seal might work on Gen 1 Sedans and coupes/hardtops.
Looks like the 280 might be fairly close???
Thanks, Todd

The NFL Punt, Pass and Kick event at Riverside Park Saturday brought out some of the local football talent.
There were 18 participants divided between five age groups, with boys and girls competing separately.
In the 6- to 7-year-old boys group, Noah Aguirre won with a combined score made up of his distances for his punt, his pass and his kick of 101' 1".
In the 8- to 9-year-old boys group, Americo Lorenzini won with a score of 63'.
Nicholas Beltran won among 10- and 11-year-old boys with a score of 196'.
Isaac Linker won in the 12- to 13-year-old boys group with a score of 190' 10".
John Hochanadel won among the 14- and 15-year-old boys group with a score of 224' 8".
Alison Padgett, 6, was the only girl competing, and she had a combined score of 16' 11".
Boys and girls were welcome to try out how well they could perform the basic football skills by trying to see how far they could punt, pass or kick, and how accurate they were by trying to keep the ball as close to a straight line that stretched away from them into the park, said Lance Hochanadel, sports coordinator for the Fort Morgan Recreation Department.
Scores were based on how far the punt, pass or kick went, and how close they were to the line. The distance from the line was subtracted from the distance the ball went.
At the end, the three scores for each contestant were added together for a final score.
The top three kids in each age group won ribbons. Age groups included children 6 and 7 years old, 8 and 9 years old, 10 and 11, 12 and 13 and 14 and 15.
The kids with the top final scores were the winners. Those winners have a chance to move to sectional competition, although it is not certain where that will be or when, Hochanadel said.
Cities have until the end of September to hold their competitions, so it could be quite some time before anyone knows when the next round will take place.
The final, and most coveted, round will be at a Denver Broncos game, Hochanadel said.
