WWE has re-released a compilation featuring everyone's second-favourite WWF title belt, the Intercontinental Championship.
Very simply titled Best of Intercontinental Championship, the title of this compilation is somewhat misleading; after all, no wrestling fan would put matches that involve Skinner or Crush on their "best of" lists, especially when there were several other high quality matches going on circa 1993, when all five of these matches took place. The disc thankfully includes full matches and is mainly a look at Shawn Michaels, with one Bret Hart match thrown in:
Shawn Michaels vs. Crush -- 4/11/1993 (Sheffield, England) This match appears to have been from WWF programming at one point or another. I can see why the bout would have been included on the original compilation, since Crush was at his peak of popularity back in 1993, but now it just looks bad. HBK is established in a Honky Tonk-esque light, running away from Crush and drawing the countout.
1.5 out of 10 -- The point gets across, but a conclusive match would have been better for this special release.
Bret Hart vs. Skinner - 8/24/1992 (Prime Time Wrestling) Let's get something set off the top here -- Steve Keirn was a decent wrestler. He was a big name down in Florida, a Fabulous One and is a respected name in the industry. As Skinner, however, he wasn't all that good, which makes this selection odd. Bret, of course, wins the match with the Sharpshooter, but the real highlight of this match is Bobby Heenan's commentary, which includes a soliloquy on how an alligator claw is not a foreign object, and can be used legally in a match.
2.5 out of 10 -- Most of these points go to Heenan, naturally
Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannetty -- 7/19/1993 (Raw) Yes folks, this is the one that was a MOTY winner according to several wrestling pundits back in the day. While I haven't seen every match from '93, I can safely say that it's deserving of that title, as Michaels and Jannetty work a match to perfection. Pre- "Big Daddy Cool" Diesel (Kevin Nash), who does the right thing and does not get involved in 95% of the match, accompanies Michaels to the ring. The former tag team puts on a wicked show with high-flying, technically-sound goodness and an interesting Dusty-esque swerve. The end, however, was an interesting finish, as Jannetty goes over the top rope on a missed cross-body, allowing Diesel to send him into the ring so HBK can get the duke.
8 out of 10 -- Could have only been better with the original commentary by Heenan, Vince McMahon and Randy Savage, instead of Jim Ross and Gorilla Monsoon.
Shawn Michaels vs. "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig -- 8/40/1993 (Summerslam) Oh you know the expectations for this match. This, of course, was the infamous "Lex Express" Summerslam, which needed solid workers like Michaels and Hennig to work a good bout. Indeed, these two did have a solid match, which not surprisingly ends with some Diesel-fuelled shenanigans. What is in the bout, however, is a solid output by two of the best workers of the early '90s.
6 out of 10 -- The screwy finishes have to stop, but there was enough here to make it a decent watch.
Shawn Michaels vs. "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan (Raw) This was from an early broadcast of Raw from the Hammerstein Ballroom, AKA ECW's home away from home. The intimate setting for the match is really cool, but the match itself is a throwaway. Duggan is way past his prime here and does so much pre-match stalling that it's just rendered unwatchable.
1 out of 10 -- Sorry to all the Duggan fans, but he doesn't win.
Final Thoughts
While the Hennig and Jannetty matches are really, really good, there are some stinkers here. I might be off by a storyline or two, but it seems to me that Hart and Michaels had a mini-feud in and around this time. A match between those two would have been killer. Instead, we get a compilation that bats .400, putting it on the rental shelf instead of in the permanent collection.
Jon Waldman has been with SLAM! since 2000. He is still waiting for his "Best of Special Delivery Jones" compilation.

Mildred Ann Ahmann Grant brought beauty to the world from the time of her arrival on February 17, 1931 until she passed peacefully in her home on October 16, 2012. Having an optimistic attitude, Mildred lived successfully for almost 30 years with pulmonary fibrosis and vasculitis, beating all the odds.
Mildred was born in Bakersfield, the daughter of Edgar and Georgie Ahmann. She and her sister Carol were raised in Elk Hills and she was valedictorian at the elementary school. Mildred graduated from Taft Union High School. She received an A.A. from Taft College where she met her husband to be, Lloyd Grant, who preceded her in death in 2005 after 54 years of marriage.
Mildred may be remembered for her friendly and helpful demeanor at the Automobile Club of Southern California where she worked for many years doing memberships, travel advisory and insurance adjustments. She was then promoted to Manager of the Taft office. When the Taft office closed, Mildred transferred to the Bakersfield office as the Manager where she commuted until her retirement in 1994, after more than 20 years of service.
During retirement, Mildred enjoyed traveling with Lloyd in their 5th wheel and also spent much of the year beating the heat in Taft at their mobile home in Morro Bay. Mildred loved to travel and took many trips all over the U.S. with her sister Carol. Mildred served as a volunteer in various capacities, the most notable being her service as Chair of the Board of the Taft Salvation Army. She attended the First Baptist Church in Taft off and on over the years.
Throughout her life, Mildred enjoyed sewing and handcrafting items. She embroidered, crocheted, and knitted hundreds of beautiful household items and clothing for herself, her home, her relatives and her friends.
In 2010, after 40 years of residing in Taft, Mildred moved to a small and comfortable home in Kern City, Bakersfield to be closer to her children, her sister, and her doctors. As her physical health failed, Mildred continued to enjoy the arrivals of her great-grandchildren, her poodles, her television shows, and her crossword puzzles. She was alert and positive until the end. One of Mildred's greatest achievements was her ability to listen to everyone and offer loving and supportive advice.
Mildred is survived by her three children and their spouses: Bob and Mona Grant of Bakersfield, Kathy and HJ Desy of San Diego and Diana and Jesse Esparza of Bakersfield; her sister and brother-in-law, Carol and Dean Kleck of Tehachapi, her sister-in-law Ann Ahmann of Missouri; her 7 grandchildren: Jeffrey and Joanna Grant, Crystal and Derek May, David and Jessica Grant, Robbie Desy, Sarah Desy, Natalie and Ramon Marzolo, and Anthony Esparza; and 9 great-grandchildren.
In accordance with Mildred's wishes private graveside services will be held. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Salvation Army. The family wishes to thank all the caregivers who helped make Mildred's final days comfortable.

An Event is a simple mechanism for communication between threads: one thread signals an event and other threads wait for it.
An event has a state which is either "set" or "cleared". This state can
be changed with the corresponding functions

function blocks until the state is "set". An important property of setting
an event is that all threads waiting for it are woken.
It was inspired by the Python
Event object. See:
This module is designed to be imported qualified. We suggest importing it like:
import Control.Concurrent.Event ( Event ) import qualified Control.Concurrent.Event as Event ( ... )
An event is in one of two possible states: "set" or "cleared".

Fortune Magazine has been holding its Brainstorm Green conference for 6 years now, but things sure have changed a lot during that time. This year the event, held in Laguna Niguel, CA, attracted more CEOs than ever before, more women than ever before (hallelujah to that!), and incorporated real discussions and collaborations that could possibly manifest into sustainable change. We pride ourselves on being pretty knowledgeable when it comes to sustainability, but when you're in the company of people like Segway inventor Dean Kamen, IKEA Chief Sustainability Officer Steve Howard, Panasonic North America CEO Joe Taylor, iPod inventor Tony Fadell, environmentalist Harrison Ford, Coca-Cola Chief Sustainability Officer Bea Perez, NRG CEO David Crane and musician will.i.am, there's always more to learn. Read on for an easy-to-digest synopsis of some enlightening (but possibly hard-to-swallow) themes and ideas we picked up at this important event.
For those who think that environmentalism is just for hippies, actor Harrison Ford and Peter Seligman, Chairman and CEO of Conservation International, kicked off the conference with a discussion that approached the issue from another angle – national security. Ford gave the example of Somali pirates who have been attacking ships in the Horn of Africa. What most of us may not realize is that many of these pirates are born out of environmental changes in their towns – in this case, the collapse of local fisheries – that leave them jobless. Ford and Seligman made the argument that by helping communities prevent these types of environmental crises, we can bolster our own national security and eliminate threats in a peaceful, proactive way.
Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer of IKEA, Hannah Jones, Vice President of Sustainable Business and Innovation at Nike and Rick Ridgeway, Vice President of Environmental Initiatives at Patagonia got together to talk about their steps to bring sustainability to the next level at their companies. Jones made a comment that seemed to resonate with the crowd – saying that the major players in the game needed to either achieve "system change or go home." In other words, it's no longer enough to simply make a few shoes out of recycled rubber. Entire industries need to disruptively change the way they source materials and also how they produce their goods.
Are people finally realizing that meat-free diets aren't just for hippies and animal lovers? We were pleasantly surprised to see that the conference touched upon the theme of our diets affecting the environment a lot more than we expected. Scott Jurek, the author of Eat & Run discussed how he gains enough power to win ultra marathons on a vegan diet, and one of the challenges that took place at the event brought attendees together to try and figure out how to sustainably produce enough protein to feed the world going forward. We also heard from Ethan Brown, the founder and CEO of meat-alternative company Beyond Meat about how the $70 billion meat industry is losing 1% market share per year.
Roz Brewer, President and CEO of Sam's Club revealed that the Walmart company is currently working on a point of purchase sustainability index that they're hoping to roll out in the next 12 months. The pilot system would make shopping for green products easier for consumers by displaying detailed sustainability information right next to each item. Brewer also touched upon Walmart's desire to make eco-friendly items just as affordable as their other products. "They should not have to pay more for things that are better for them," she said of her company's customers. We agree.
In a green version of American Idol meets the Apprentice, five start-ups, PK Clean, Beyond Meat, BrightFarms, SurePure and Yerdle pitched their sustainable solutions to judges Samir Kaul, General Partner at Khosla Ventures and Dhiraj Malkhani, a partner at RockPort Capital Partners. In the end, PK Clean, Priyanka Bakaya's prototype system that takes waste plastic and reverts it back to usable oil won the audience's vote, although Andy Ruben of collaborative consumption website Yerdle probably gave the most entertaining presentation in which he revealed that the wackiest item ever offered up for swap on the platform was a vibrator.
Speaking of swapping instead of buying new things, Rick Ridgeway, Vice President of Environmental Initiatives at Patagonia (and the first American to summit K2), agreed with Andy Ruben that the truly sustainable economy of the future will have to cut consumption of new products way down. If you don't believe that the trade and sale of secondhand items is profitable enough to be a viable force in the economy, John Donahoe, President and CEO of eBay (a company that knows a thing or two about the subject) was also at the conference.
Bob McDonald, Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble had some important insight for anyone making and selling green products. He said that 85% of consumers won't accept a tradeoff in exchange for sustainability. So, for example, a green detergent would need to work just as well as a regular detergent for most people to make the switch. It may seem obvious, but it's surprising how many company models assume that consumers will purchase their goods just because they're green and even if they aren't as effective. McDonald received a lesson of his own when an audience member from Harvard Business School pointed out that she had no idea green P&G products like Tide Cold Water, Downy Single Rinse and Pantene in plant-based bottles were even green. McDonald agreed that perhaps the messaging for those items needs to be made clearer to indicate their eco-friendly benefits to consumers.
So we learned that most people don't want to pay more for greener products and they also aren't willing to sacrifice efficacy, but is there any way to influence consumers to pay a premium for sustainability? It seems that one workaround is to make products cool. But how do we do that? Tony Fadell, the inventor of the iPod (a.k.a. the Podfather) knows a thing or two about the subject. He shared how his new venture, the Nest, has turned something unbelievably uncool – a thermostat – into a really desirable item. He shared that people love the Nest so much that there is even a gifting economy around them with people giving them to friends and loved ones. will.i.am, another man who is fluent in the language of cool explained that he felt "the style and design that they put for the green stuff — it ain't cool." He created his consulting company, Ekocycle, to partner with brands like Levi's, Beats by Dre, Adidas, and the NBA to make and market eco-conscious products that people will actually want to buy.
We all know that rooftop solar panels are a way to generate clean energy but installing them still isn't a foolproof process. NRG CEO David Crane debuted an alternative at the conference that offers the same kind of benefits as rooftop PVs but without the worry of damage to roofs. Called the Solar Canopy, the structure offers shade and shelter just like a backyard gazebo but with the added benefit of also having solar panels on top. The company plans to roll out the Solar Canopy by the end of the year.
Doing good in the world can actually make you a lot of money too. Just ask Mountain Hazelnuts Group CFO Teresa Law, who spoke about how her company went into Bhutan and created jobs for 15% of the country's people while also doubling their income (half of the employees are women). Despite its feel-good story that does right by the environment and the citizens of the country it operates out of, the company has simultaneously achieved strong returns for investors.
How does sustainability drive innovation? We heard differing perspectives from Joe Taylor, Chairman and CEO of Panasonic Corp. of North America, Adam Lowry, Co-founder and Chief Greenskeeper at Method and Vance Bell, Chairman and CEO of Shaw Industries, a Berkshire Hathaway Co. Taylor talked about Panasonic's bold 2011 decision to center itself around the goal of becoming the #1 green innovation company in the electronics industry and chuckled over the fact that everyone at the conference seemed to assume that his company only made TVs when they actually produce an extremely varied array of products from electric-car batteries to solar panels to fuel cells and even many parts that make up the iPhone and other popular smartphones. Lowry shared a similar issue with Method products where people express that they had no idea the soap bottles were green in any way and just purchase them because they match their bathrooms. His reaction? One of delight rather than of dismay since he says getting people who are already green to buy Method is pointless. Reaching everyone else is what is really important.
What do the inventor of the Segway, the world's most popular soda brand and the most punctuated Black Eyed Pea have to do with one another? It turns out that Dean Kamen has teamed up with Coca-Cola to make and distribute the Slingshot, a water-purifying module that can quickly and easily provide clean water in developing nations. will.i.am joined in the discussion to talk about how he supports Kamen's First initiative, which helps build science, engineering and technology skills in American youngsters.
"The age of the highway city is over, we can't afford it, and it's not desirable," said Peter Calthorpe, a principle at urban design firm Calthorpe Associates. Calthorpe, who calls cars "weapons of mass destruction" estimates that 3.5 billion people will be living in developing world cities by 2025 and that these future cities will need to be designed around public transportation in order to make sense. Jay Carson, Chief Executive of C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group says he thinks subway systems are too expensive and that more cities are looking to bus rapid transit as a more affordable solution.

2008 Toyota RAV4 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Powerful V6 and three-row seating available.
The vehicle that pioneered the cute-ute segment is all grown up. Ever since its last total overhaul (for the 2006 model year), the Toyota RAV4 has offered seating for seven, cargo capacity comparable to some mid-size SUVs, and V6 performance near the top of its class. The RAV4 can tow 3500 pounds when properly equipped, and buyers have the choice of front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. True to its family-friendly role, the RAV4 comes standard with a long list of safety equipment.
So what was once the cute baby of the family is now the family car.
The available 269-horsepower V6 tops most of the RAV4's competitors. It's more than the RAV4 needs, really; but it allows the RAV4 to really scoot while carrying as many as seven people and all their associated stuff. Yet the RAV4's fuel efficiency remains comparable with some less powerful four- and six-cylinder SUVs. The base RAV4 seats five and offers a more frugal four-cylinder power.
Style-wise, the RAV4 looks like other contemporary Toyotas, featuring an aerodynamically efficient ovoid profile strategically relieved by sharp character lines. A coefficient of drag (Cd) of 0.33 is among the best in its segment and a major factor in minimizing wind noise and maximizing fuel economy.
Only small details have changed for 2008. Most significantly, an engine immobilizer is now standard on the Limited grade and optional on other models.
The 2008 Toyota RAV4 is a four-door, compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), available in three trim levels: base ($21,250), Sport ($22,825) and Limited ($23,505). For those prices you get front-wheel drive; a 2.4-liter, 166-horsepower inline-4; and a four-speed automatic transmission. All V6 RAV4s come with Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC).
All three trim levels are available with a 3.5-liter, 269-hp V6 and five-speed automatic transmission, and when so equipped MSRPs are as follows: base ($23,285), Sport ($24,740), and Limited ($25,420). Any of these is available with full-time all-wheel drive ($1,400).
Standard features for all RAV4s include air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers, MP3/WMA capability, and auxiliary input jack; power windows; power foldable mirrors; keyless-remote locking; 60/40 split second-row seats with manual recline and for-and-aft adjustment; tilt-and-telescope steering wheel; three 12-volt power outlets; rear privacy glass; and auto-off headlights. The base four-cylinder RAV4 has P215/70R16 tires on steel wheels with hubcaps. The V6 is upgraded with P225/65R17 tires on styled steel wheels. All models come with a full-size spare tire.
Options at the base level include a third-row seat ($950), which also adds Downhill Assist Control (DAC) and Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) to four-cylinder models; an in-dash, six-CD changer ($200); a selection of 17-inch wheels, both styled steel ($120) and aluminum ($440-560); cargo cover ($140); roof rack with crossbars ($220); daytime running lights ($40); engine immobilizer ($60); and a towing package for the V6 ($160) that includes a heavy-duty radiator and fan, transmission oil cooler, and 150-amp alternator. The tow package increases the RAV4's pulling capacity from 2000 to 3500 pounds.
The RAV4 Sport adds a handling-tuned suspension and P235/55R18 tires on alloy wheels, plus fog lamps, a roof rack with cross bars, heated outside mirrors; color-keyed trim outside and unique charcoal fabric inside. Options expand to include a JBL premium stereo with nine speakers, a six-CD changer, XM Satellite radio, Bluetooth, and steering-wheel controls ($890); and a power tilt-and-slide glass sunroof ($900). But the third-row seat is not offered on the Sport.
The Limited model upgrades with dual-zone automatic climate control, premium cloth upholstery, power-adjustable driver seat, six-CD changer, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, leather-wrapped shift knob, cargo area net and tonneau cover, full-hard spare tire cover, the new engine immobilizer, and other amenities. Outside, Limited is distinguished by a chrome grille and P225/65R17 tires on six-spoke alloy wheels; and a full, hard-shell spare tire cover. Options include the third-row seat ($700-810, depending on engine and drive combination), leather upholstery ($1,050), heated front seats ($440), plus the same JBL stereo ($640) and sunroof available on Sport. A rear-seat entertainment system ($1,705) is available only on Limited V6.
Safety features on all RAV4s include dual-stage frontal airbags, side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags, LATCH child safety seat anchors, antilock brakes (ABS) with brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), electronic stability control (VSC), traction control (TRAC), and a tire pressure monitor.
No longer a cute ute, neither is the 2008 RAV4 anywhere near a brute ute. Still, the overall design of the current model is more serious and more substantive than those built a few years ago. There are fewer superfluous curves and less cladding, presenting a more finished appearance.
The RAV4's truck-like front end is tautly composed. Visually, the fenders are separate elements from the engine bay, a situation emphasized by a tight rectangular grille that seems to sit comfortably atop the wider bumper slits below. Headlights are compact and focused. A wide track gives the RAV4 a solid stance visually, while resisting rollovers in emergency maneuvers.
The side view is oblong, a mix of boxy and oval, the better to accommodate that third-row seat. The fat, triangular C-pillar with the taillight at its base reminds us of the Subaru Tribeca, a larger, seven-passenger SUV priced a notch or two above the RAV4. An understated indent runs along the bottom of the RAV4's doors, softening the visual impression of bulk. Wheel arches blend smoothly into the fenders.
In back, a single-piece rear bumper cradles the swing-open tailgate, which, sadly, still opens from the left side, so you have to walk around it when unloading curbside here in America. As in the Tribeca, taillights are positioned fairly high on the rear fenders. The spare tire bolts into a recess offset to the right in the swing-gate, and doesn't dip below the bumper line. The rear license plate, sunk into the lower left side of the swing-gate below the handle, visually balances the spare.
Inside, the 2008 RAV4 is as good as ever, which is to say functional if a bit eccentric in style.
Placement of the gauges will be familiar to anyone who has owned a previous RAV4. The position and function of the controls populating the center stack is virtually the same as it has always been, which means very good; that also applies to the arrangement of the hand brake and the shift lever. The current dash is sharply split by a horizontal gash running the width of the car. About the only plus we found in this garish feature is a bi-level glove box, with an upper bin covered by a retracting lid and a lower bin fitted with a traditional, bottom-hinged cover.
Materials are high quality, if not Lexus level. Fit and finish is Toyota grade, which means excellent. All three trim levels share the same motif, with contrasting but complementary colors and brushed metallic trim elements around the stereo and climate controls, surrounding the shift gate and swooping around the door handles. The standard side-curtain airbags still allow a passenger assist grip, which folds down from the headliner over each door.
The front seats are supportive but not overly firm, with modest bolsters and decent thigh support. The tilt-and-telescope steering wheel and height-adjustable driver's seat enables almost any size driver to find a comfortable fit, and without the added complexity (and cost) of adjustable pedals. The relatively high seating position, low cowl and sloping hood make for good visibility to the front. The lengthy side windows ease lane checking. Fully retracting head restraints in the second row and optional third row seats improve the viewing range through the inside mirror.
The second-row seats are less padded than the front seats, without bolsters. It's no surprise, really, seeing as how that seat has to fit three people in a pinch.
The optional third row seats barely qualify as such, with flat bottoms and equally featureless backs and head restraints. Access to that back row, by folding and tilting the outboard second-row seats, is not especially easy, but it isn't as much of a strain or as awkward as in some larger, full-sized sport utilities. Still, the 104.7-inch wheelbase of the current RAV4 allows significantly more interior room than in pre-2006 models.
The Honda CR-V, the RAV4's closest competitor, was redesigned for 2007, but the Toyota still either leads significantly, or trails by a mere fraction, in headroom and legroom, both front and rear. The Honda offers more than 2 inches more hip room, both front and rear, than the RAV4. But the CR-V does not offer a third-row seat. Maximum cargo volume (with all seats stowed) is nearly identical: 73.0 cubic feet for the Toyota, 72.9 for the Honda.
The only competitor that comes with a standard third-row seat, the Suzuki XL7, was also all-new for 2007. It provides more headroom than the RAV4, particularly in the third row (by a significant 1.6 inches). In legroom, the XL7 gives up half an inch to the RAV4 up front, but gets that half inch back in the second row, and betters the Toyota by almost a full inch in the third row. But in hip room, it's the XL7 that loses by 1.6 inches up front, gains a scant 0.7 inch in the middle, and then loses to the Toyota by a whopping 5.1 inches in the third row.
Storage areas are plentiful. Beyond the glove box, the doors have fixed plastic map pockets, the backs of the front seatbacks wear net pouches, a total of 10 cup/bottle holders are situated about the cabin. When the third-row seats aren't ordered, a deep cargo area awaits beneath a water-repellant, foldable deck board.
Driving Impression
Folks trading in an older (pre-2006) RAV4 will notice the current model's improved stability (from its wider track) and a smoother ride (from its longer wheelbase). In the Sport variant, the suspension is tuned toward handling over smoothness. Steering response is confident, although understeer (where the car wants to go straight while the driver wants it to turn) is the RAV4's dominant posture during aggressive turns. There's moderate body lean in corners, but dive under braking and squat when accelerating are well controlled. The brake pedal feels firm.
Depending on the engine ordered, response to the gas pedal is either prompt or borderline overwhelming. The base four-cylinder delivers plenty of grunt, in both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, with brisk, linear acceleration. Torque steer, that front-wheel-drive syndrome that tugs on the steering wheel, is minimal. The accompanying mechanical and exhaust sounds, although not intrusive, clearly identify the engine as a four-banger.
The V6, with its head-of-the-class 269 horsepower and 246 pound-feet of torque, is a different story. Acceleration is impressive. With this comes torque steer, particularly in front-wheel drive models: Hang on to the steering wheel, because when you floor the gas pedal the engine feels like it wants to pull the wheel from your hands. You'll get used to it, and the V6 sounds much better than the four. Mechanical noise is more effectively masked, and the exhaust note is more soothingly tuned than with the four.
In general, the RAV4 is quieter inside than many small sport-utility vehicles, though perhaps not as quiet as the Honda CR-V. Some wind whistle crept into the RAV4's cabin around the side windows.
The RAV4's on-demand four-wheel-drive system uses an electronically controlled center coupling to distribute torque between the front and rear wheels, depending on road conditions and driver input. The system can continuously and seamlessly switch from front-wheel-drive to four-wheel-drive mode, maximizing fuel efficiency. In Auto mode, torque distribution to the rear wheels is decreased during low speed cornering for better maneuverability.
A 4WD manual locking switch will disengage the Auto mode, maximizing torque to the rear wheels. When vehicle speed reaches 25 mph, Lock mode will disengage, reverting back to Auto mode. Lock mode also disengages when the brakes are applied, optimizing ABS and VSC operation. FWD models come equipped with an automatic limited slip differential.
Hill-start Assist Control provides additional control for on-road and off-road driving by helping to keep the vehicle stationary while starting on a steep incline or slippery surface. Downhill Assist Control is designed to enhance low-speed descending ability by helping to hold the vehicle to a target speed with minimal intervention from the driver.
The Toyota RAV4 is enjoyable to drive and packaged well. Three rows of seating are available. The available V6 engine delivers lots of power.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Tom Lankard filed this report after his test drive of the RAV4 in Texas.

The Perfect Breakfast and a Sweet Giveaway!
Let's be honest. We've all had those days when you wake up and need a pick-me up right off the bat. For those kind of days, a nice breakfast might just do the trick. For me, frittatas are definitely the way to go when you have time for a hearty morning meal. Beat a couple eggs with a little cream, add some greens and a little cheese and let the frittata bake in the oven while you prepare the rest. This breakfast platter includes some greek yogurt topped with blueberries and oats, some sliced apples and a parmesan, spinach and green onion frittata. Add a glass of freshly pressed grapefruit juice and a good cup of coffee and you can be sure the day ahead will be that much brighter!
And to continue the day on a good note, I'm offering a great giveaway. I have 3 copies of Kings of Pastry to send to 3 lucky readers. This movie follows chefs as they compete for the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. It's a wonderful movie for anyone interested in the pastry realm and will bring you backstage at one the most intense culinary competitions in the world. To enter the contest, comment on this post and tell us what your favorite pastries are. For a second entry in this contest, add a comment on Chocolate Shaving's facebook page. This contest is open to US and Canadian residents only and ends on February 18th, 2011. Good luck!
Parmesan, Green Onion and Spinach Frittata
Serves 2
4 eggs
1 splash of heavy cream
1/4 cup milk
3 green onions, sliced
1 handful of baby spinach, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat your oven to 375F. Beat the eggs until homogeneous and add the cream and milk. Stir in the green onions, spinach and parmesan. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture to a cast iron pan on medium heat. Using a whisk or wooden spoon, stir the mixture until it just start to cook. Place the cast iron in the oven and bake until the frittata is just set and golden brown (about 15 minutes).
Serve warm. Enjoy!

I had the opportunity to participate in a wonderful Kings of Pastry event here in San Francisco where the Baker's Dozen group baked lovely desserts for a reception of the movie. You can read my recap of it here http://www.eatthelove.com/2010/12/apple-slab-pie-with-dried-fall-fruit-html/ and I will say that movie was quite amazing. After watching it, it is now one of my life goals to make a spun sugar sculpture like they did.
Not sure how I'm going to do that, but you know, I have a lifetime to figure it out.
That said, my favorite pastie is the standard steak and onion pastie. If, however, that was a typo and you were asking what our favorite pastries are, then I'd probably go with a fruit pie. Preferably one made in the summer with seasonal fruit.

Chocolate Nut Cigars made with phyllo dough. I made these for the SC House of Representatives when my husband was a member and I was the "Cookie Lady" every Wednesday. Eight years of a different sweet treat every Wednesday and those still stand out to me.

I love croissants - good ones, not the kind we get in the supermarkets. If they are filled with chocolate, or custard with slivered almonds on top, even better! Danish pastries are a real treat but almost impossible to find good ones these days. Any kind of flaky pastry - well made - is a treat. From my home made pies to a custard slice I had in Greece. The pre-made pastry shells you can buy are definitely NOT anything like the real thing!
- February 14, 2011 at 5:39 PM
I never met a pastry I didn't like.....I DO HOWEVER LOVE Pomontierres(SP)Pig's Ears and Puff Pastries.....a little chocolate helps too.....

I cannot understand why pastries in Paris taste better than any made in pastry shops in Ottawa, Toronto, or Picton that I have visited. Therefore my vote is for the Paris-Brest made in Paris, France.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 18, 2005) - The East Tennessee State University women's golf team will open their 2005 spring season next week at the Puerto Rico Classic in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The three-day event will begin on Monday, Feb. 21 and will pit the Bucs against some of the best teams in the country.
With a breakthrough season behind them and another encouraging fall campaign in the books, the East Tennessee State University Lady Bucs golf team appears destined for more great things this upcoming 2005 spring season.
Having won their first tournament at the 2004 Lady Terrier Intercollegiate last March in
Because of those two team victories in less than eight months, the return of four players from the 2003-04 squad, and a strong recruiting class, third-year head coach Stefanie Reynolds understands expectations will be high for her team this spring.
"I think our players are excited about the possibilities," said Reynolds, whose team set 10 team scoring records last year. "We are breaking new ground with this team all the time and that's been encouraging for everyone involved with the program. But we know there are still a lot of goals out there."
This year, the Lady Bucs will have a solid mix of veteran players and talented youngsters. Leading the way will be junior Ashley Barton (Seffner, Fla.), who has taken her place as one of the most talented and successful players in ETSU history. Barton finished the fall campaign as the team's leader in stroke average (74.55), which also included a first-place tie at the Jacksonville State Gamecock Classic.
Along with Barton, the Lady Bucs will count on solid play from senior and captain Danielle O'Reilly (Whistler, British Columbia), junior Kailey Brooks (Bracebridge, Ontario), and junior
As for the new faces for the Bucs, Reynolds has been exceptionally pleased with the additions of Maria Ringdahl (
The Lady Bucs will also take a step up when it comes to the schedule this year. ETSU will open the spring slate at one of the most demanding early season tournaments in college golf -the Lady Puerto Rico Classic in
"That's our ultimate goal this season - win the conference tournament," Reynolds said.
For more information on the Bucs throughout the season, keep informed by visiting ETSUBucs.com or by contacting the ETSU Athletic Media Relations office at 423.439.4220.

I think part of my colorful side was influenced by San Francisco. I want people to know how colorful and sweet I am. But also staying fashionable and Trendy.
Since the area is so upscale. I am trying to cater to the women with money and then also the ones that don't. I will have very reasonable price points that cater to everyone.

SOPA Debate... Or High School?
from the you-tell-us deptJames Temple, for the SF Chronicle, has finally found the perfect analogy for what the SOPA debate is like: your everyday high school teen drama "replete with name calling and a stubborn refusal to let the nerds talk." He covers, of course, the angry fight between Reps. King and Jackson-Lee over whether each other was boring or offensive:
Late last week, Reps. Steve King, R-Iowa, Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, and their colleagues managed to grind the session to a halt as they exchanged taunts that boiled down to: You're boring. Yeah, well, you're offensive! Nu uh, you're out of order!But, of course, the bigger deal is the refusal to hear from the actual experts -- which Congress repeatedly referred to as "the nerds." Temple extends the analogy even further, to figure out why Congress is so quick to take Hollywood's side on this bill, despite the concern of actual experts, and the widespread outcry among the public:
Here, we come back to our tween picking out that smart phone. In the case of Congress, the media industry seems to be playing the dual roles of influential friend and paying parent. And they're willing to splurge on that shiny new iPhone 4S while the tech industry is only coughing up enough for last year's Android.When it's difficult to distinguish the details between high school spats and Congress, it seems like something pretty serious is wrong.

As Jets second-round draft pick Geno Smith was put through the wringer of withering media scrutiny over the last couple weeks, one of the stories making the rounds was that Smith acted like a "diva" in meetings with NFL coaches. Jets coach Rex Ryan says he has no idea where that came from.
"Maybe I don't know what diva behavior looks like, but he certainly didn't do it here," Ryan said after Smith had his first rookie minicamp practice today. "He's a football player that you can tell loved the game, very knowledgeable about his system. I never saw that at all."
Ryan says the Jets researched Smith's college career and found that he was known for being a good student of the game and a good team leader.
"Anybody that you talk to at West Virginia will tell you that," Ryan said. "He knew it. He studied it more. He prepared harder than anybody. That's all, just be himself, that's the big thing, he already knows how to do it. This guy has been playing quarterback and [has been] the leader of his football team for a number of years."
On the practice field Friday, Ryan liked the way Smith carried himself.
"You kind of listen to the huddle, all that type of stuff," Ryan said. "Some guys can't spit it out, [Smith] certainly can. Those are things you look at, the way he conducts himself, eyes up, all that type of stuff."
Whatever Smith might have done to turn off coaches on 31 other teams doesn't matter now. On the Jets, his coach likes him just fine.

Haha, you all are expecting for Skullknight to spill the beans? Have you all forgotten that when he made his getaway that he had a stowaway?
If anything he will try to spill the beans and then get whacked by Rahkshas!
And I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but what I'm hoping for once we make it to where Griffith is, is to see the god-hand members in human form with him. I'm not sure if that's likely, but that doesn't change the fact that I'd love to see it
Jokes aside, it's going to be undoubtedly elegant and marvelous, but I do believe we're going to see something very sinister there. Falconia's just too perfect on the outside I feel. We're going to learn a lot in that place, that's for sure.
Skull Knight killed by Rakshas...? "I lived for 1,000 years but this blow dart did me in? ARGH!!"
What are your expectations for that giant, mysterious dome that's in the palace region?
Since it's presumably in the palace area, where Griffith likely makes his throne room, I think it'd be exciting if the dome actually IS the shell of his throne room. Consider, it's the highest and most visible point in the city, and to look up at any time and know that Griffith is in there, watching over everything LIKE A FALCON, would be quite cool and eerie. Plus, imagine the view he'd (and potentially we'd) have of the great city from that perspective.
I also believe this motif, seen around the whole city, is related to the dome/orb.
This would lead us to another big question: what's in God Hand's agenda? Each of them have their own plans, like Griffith? Or Griffith's dream was since the beginning the main focus?
I see a tendency (including myself) in trying to scratch Falconia's shit. But, what if there isn't anything bad or evil? What if Griffith is actually searching for the greater good?
I didn't even notice the dome until this thread pointed it out. Hopefully it actually IS a structure, and not just the sun/moon with a trick of background imagery.
Well, the World Transformation caused the physical manifestation of almost all astral creatures, including the God Hand. So I think they don't need human form to walk the earth at this point. Anyways, what would be the point in them to be with Griffith, in Falconia?
I see a tendency (including myself) in trying to scratch Falconia's shit. But, what if there isn't anything bad or evil? What if Griffith is actually searching for the greater good? I think the problem with his new world won't be with the 'what' but with the 'how'.
From Walter's post:Well when I saw this motif, I immediately counted the pairs of wings, 5, like the god hands, or "angels from the legend" (they look more like angel wings than... say Slan's, or Dragons, etc... ), so yay for that theory? I'm probably reaching...
You mean the archs in the distance on the stairs that go up to the inner wall, also counting the outer wall gate and the one we see in the middle? I think it's a stretch, since that picture is just an overhead shot, and there's most likely at least one other "gate" beyond that inner wall anyway (since there's a second inner wall). Plus you like said it doesn't fit the description of the gates of New Jerusalem anyway.
Yeah only that's not really how it works. The old city was destroyed, then a new one was built. Then the new one, having become old, was destroyed and the original one was restored, but changed. That's quite a bit more complicated than just "Old city > New city". Furthermore, given that the city's architecture is very clearly of Greco-Roman influence, I'm not sure a comparison to Jerusalem is appropriate.
The Foundation Stone (Hebrew: אבן השתייה, translit. Even haShetiya) or Rock (Arabic: صخرة translit. Sakhrah, Hebrew: סלע translit.: Sela) is the name of the rock at the heart of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. It is also known as the Pierced Stone because it has a small hole on the southeastern corner that enters a cavern beneath the rock, known as the Well of Souls.
The Well of Souls (Arabic: Bir el- Arweh, Bir el- Arwah or Bir al- Arwah) sometimes translated Pit of Souls, Cave of Spirits, or Well of Spirits is a partly natural/partly man-made cave located inside the Foundation Stone under the Dome of the Rock shrine in Jerusalem. The name derives from a medieval Islamic legend that at this place the spirits of the dead can be heard awaiting Judgment Day at which time the Ka'aba in Mecca will come here and God's throne will be established on the Stone.
A New Heaven and a New EarthThen I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look! Gods dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
That's pretty much like Jerusalem- it's trashed and rebuilt multiple times during the timeline of the bible.
Jerusalem would have been under Roman control during Jesus' time
Hardly anything that exactly matches, but c'mon. Can you say the huge sphere in Berserk might very well not be inspired by the Dome of the Rock?
It's the same deal with the other things I mentioned- tantalizing similarities, but it's also easy to see that they're not 1-on-1 matches. Still, in my opinion, it goes way beyond only being stuff that's vaguely similar to Berserk.
The demon king that brought hell onto earth is actually trying to do good, huh? Could you unpack that idea?
If I had to say it in one phrase: Griffith/Femto is trying to do good
In general, this can be applied to the IoE and the God Hand.
If Miura hasn't changed too much his mind about this concept, IoE's purpose is to fulfil humanity's desires, no matter what.
I also believe this motif, seen around the whole city, is related to the dome/orb.All will be answered soon, so no need to go too hardcore. What do you guys think is inside that huge thing?
Speaking of the motif, when we see Falconia for the first time in episode 307, the design of the motif has 6 pair of wings consistently through various pages of the episode. Yet, now we see 5 pair of wings. May impact Mammon's suggestion of it being tied to the 5 members of the God Hand?
What makes you believe he's trying to do good?
That's never been the case.
Well, he never said that his dream was to conquer the world and make people suffer. His dream (at least when he was human, and he said that hadn't changed) was to trascend the rules and the social status imposed by men, to leave that circle. And for that, he wanted to become a king.
Maybe I interpreted its conversation with Griffith wrong. The Idea of Evil was born from all negative human feelings, and it is fueled by them, am I right? And its "objective" is to give humans the power they yearn for so deeply (the God Hand and the apostles). This is, in summary, what I understood from their conversation. Anyway, I haven't reread that episode since too long and, given the possibility that Miura finally will decide to leave it out from the canon, I try to not support myself too much in it. So, where am I lost?
If I had to say it in one phrase: Griffith/Femto is trying to do good, but he's doing it in the bad way. I mean, if you want paradise there has to be hell, so paradise can be paradise. I think that's Griffith's philosophy at this point. He is acting like a dictator: he thinks he's doing good when he doesn't.
Well, he never said that his dream was to conquer the world and make people suffer. His dream (at least when he was human, and he said that hadn't changed) was to trascend the rules and the social status imposed by men, to leave that circle. And for that, he wanted to become a king. Of course, he never stated if he was going to be a tyrannic king or not, but I don't think so. The problem is that Griffith is a "end justify the means" person.
When it says it was born to give humans what they desire, it refers to "reasons for their suffering". It produces those. Gives them reasons for their misery, where before it was a matter of chance. So to say that its purpose is to "fulfil humanity's desires, no matter what" is misleading. It is called the "Idea of Evil" for a reason. But anyway, like you say, that's not part of the canon.
There's a reason the prophesy calls the normal humans following Griffith blind white sheep, I guess it can apply to the readers as well. Reread the Black Swordsman arc and try and tell me Femto or the God Hand give a shit about doing good. But hey, Mozgus thought he was doing the lord's work so maybe that guy wasn't so bad after all either!
But we haven't heard him talk about his dream now that he's a member of the God Hand. As far as him saying that nothing has changed; he is saying that while being carried off by Zodd, so I think that statement should be taken with a grain of salt. Just like it should be for all of the bad guys warped philosophies that only serve as glorified excuses for the evil they're doing. Even though Miura plays around with these ideas throughout the series, he keeps it pretty clear who the bad guys and the good guys really are in the long run. Griffith is the antagonist. Enough said. Plus we've only been inside of Falconia for one episode! Miura has the rest of the series to show us what's really going on, and it's clear if you're reading the series that it's not good.
But, for example I don't see Griffith agreeing with Mozgus in any way.
Like I said in my previous post, right now Griffith is acting like a dictator. He is capable of anything if something puts in danger his dream. He already did that when he was human, and that's actually what led him becoming a God Hand member. Sure he's the antagonist. But being an antagonist doesn't make you a villain. And I see Miura playing too much with the concept that Griffith is both the Falcon of Light and Darkness. Of course we just have began to see Griffith's rulership, but I don't see too hurried trying to see his role in the series.
if you look on page 18 the panel where they enter the bath house. you see the shape again with the orb, only this time the orb his kinda shaped like an oval.
reminds me of some of the broderie Charlotte was doing while imprisoned
Yep. Doesn't lend any additional info to us though, and its symbolism remains the same.The fact that it's an oval or the fact that it's covered in feathers?
But being an antagonist doesn't make you a villain.
People are no more than squirming little bugs to them, or at best pawns to play a part until they aren't necessary anymore.
It certainly doesn't detract from your point, but the God Hand actually use a specific term when referring to humans: lambs (小羊). As in, the kind of thoughtless creature easily led to slaughter Also implying they're being shepherded. The usage also coincides with the Prophecy of the Falcon of Light/Darkness, which includes blind sheep (people), and sinful sheep (apostles).

Mayor's Office
Lancaster County Emergency Management Director Doug Ahlberg today urged all residents to observe September as "National Preparedness Month" by assembling an emergency supply kit and developing a family emergency plan. National Preparedness Month is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's "Ready" Campaign to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities.
Every individual and family needs a plan to deal with natural or man-made emergencies," Ahlberg said. "That plan should include a family meeting place in case of severe weather. Those who don't have plans should establish them immediately, and those who do have plans should review them at least every year.
Ahlberg gave these tips:
Ahlberg said more information on emergency kits and plans is available online from many resources, including lancaster.ne.gov (keyword: emergency). He said a NOAA all-hazards radio is a great tool to alert families of potential emergencies so they can take steps to protect themselves.
Ahlberg thanked the local media for their commitment to keep residents informed in emergency situations. He also thanked the Citizen Corps Council, NECO Security and Alarm Systems and Runza Restaurants for their financial support of National Preparedness Month.
Ahlberg said local agencies have been working with Community Organizations Active in Disaster, which is making preparedness information available through business newsletters, organizational flyers and other outlets.
