Sammy's Woodfired Pizza & Grill might have pizza in its name, but Sammy's is far from your typical pizza joint. Sammy's owner Sami Ladeki gives his guests the best of both worlds; you can have a perfectly prepared pizza with that unique flavor that only wood can give it while also creating a menu that brings out flavors and combinations that would appeal to even the most discerning palates.
If you are going to visit Sammy's you must try the pizza, even if you just share one amongst your table in case everyone wants to give something else on the menu a try. The woodfired pizza is a completely different experience and combines that with the unique combinations that Sammy's has on the menu and you are not going to want to eat pizza any other way. The taste of the wood is absorbed into the crust and it is baked to a slightly crispy and crunchy texture. The artisan thin crust is the perfect compliment to allow you to take in all of the flavors of pizzas such as; brie cheese and truffle oil, sun-dried tomato and smoked bacon, raclette and fingerling potato. While you can go with traditional toppings, it is the uniqueness of the cheeses and toppings that really makes Sammy's pizzas special.
You don't even have to be a pizza enthusiast to love Sammy's, in fact you could come back to Sammy's countless times before you even begin to make your way through the menu choices. Sammy's got extremely creative with the shrimp and grits dish. Taking on grits all by themselves is a challenge but to marry them with shrimp, Spanish chorizo, Swiss chard and smoked provolone sounds like it just might have too much going on. It doesn't, if you are looking for one dish to try when you visit Sammy's this is it. Extremely rich, the ingredients are folded nicely into the perfectly prepared grits and not one flavor overpowers the dish, they all blend together to give you subtleties of every flavor with each bite that you take. This would be a great dish without the shrimp, but they are a perfect compliment to the complexities of the flavors.
Sammy's keeps with the wood theme with a number of the dishes on the menu and the flavors are so amazing you are going to think of turning to wood in your own home. The oak roasted chicken breast and salmon filet each come out juicy and tender and again the deep woody flavor really comes through in these dishes. A perfect pairing for either one of these dishes or simply by itself is the oak roasted asparagus. You will love the char on the exterior that gives it a little crunch, but still maintaining the juicy interior, you will find this makes for what could be a complete meal when it is topped with romano, prosciutto, evoo, and balsamic vinegar. For those of you that enjoy asparagus, this is a must try dish.
Sammy's also put together a great appetizer menu with items that are perfect for sharing amongst your table. The discussion has to begin with the mini duck tacos, personally I would be happy to have this plate of tacos as my entire meal, they are that good. While duck might not always bring an air of familiarity to everyone, if it is done right, it is a treat. Sammy's not only does it right but the pairing the feta cheese was a stroke of genius, it really brings out the rich flavors in this dish. Complimenting it to balance the dish out nicely is the napa cabbage and the tomato-cilantro sauce is a well thought out combination that really gives you that sense of eating a taco. The other appetizer that will entice you is the lobster mac & cheese. A lot of variations of mac & cheese are delivered out of the kitchen these days but cheese has to be first and foremost and Sammy's delivers, using the thick and creamy Tillamook cheddar cheese and there is no skimping. Toss in lobster and you have the perfect comfort food dish and I will challenge you to take a bite and not find some lobster, it is everywhere.
You could taste deserts all over the world but you will not find a desert with a more apropos name than Sammy's Messy Sundae. If you love an indulgent over-the-top desert than this is a truly beautiful mess, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream filling up a wide glass and then topped with chocolate and caramel sauce along with walnuts. Clearly Sammy's needs a bigger glass as the toppings pour down the side of the glass and literally make it look like a candied glass and then it continues onto a plate, there is so much desert you better have a few spoons to share.
An amazing and unique menu along with a beautiful setting would seem to be enough reasons to entice you to visit Sammy's Woodfired Pizza, but there is more. The one thing that is missing with all of these flavorful dishes is the high price you would think would associated with them. The highest priced item on the menu is $19.50. In this day and age if you want value for your dollar whether it is a group outing, a family dinner or a date, Sammy's is a bargain. Sami also has made a focal point of his menus healthiness, there are a number of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan items.
Sammy's Woodfired Pizza & Grill will change your perception of what you might expect at a pizza restaurant. Sammy's offers one of the best pizzas around but after one visit you will quickly realize that pizza is just the tip of the iceberg. They menu items and flavors just keep going and going.

Cops Raid Marijuana Dispensary In Order To Play Darts, Sample Edibles And Offer To Kick Amputee Owner 'In The Nub'
from the LOL,-CIVILIANS dept
If we accept the premise that law enforcement and intelligence agencies encroach on personal freedoms and rights in "the public interest" -- i.e., to ensure the safety of non-criminals -- then we have to ask ourselves how this raid of a medical marijuana dispensary fits into this thought process. [via CJ Ciaramella]
Santa Ana (CA) cops raided a pot dispensary -- not because the items for sale were illegal under local laws -- but simply because it was unlicensed. Sure, having the proper paperwork in place is important, but this dispensary was in line to receive authorization from the city -- a process delayed by the locality's faulty licensing "lottery" system, which was gamed by businesses who "stuffed" the selection box by purchasing multiple bids.
The PD performing the raid treated this lack of proper paperwork like it was the Zeta Cartel operating under its nose. The video captured by the dispensary's cameras shows heavily-armed cops -- some wearing ski masks -- smashing through two doors and yelling at the peaceably-assembled customers to lie on the floor. Then -- somehow -- it gets worse.
The cops tear the place apart, strip cameras from the walls and yank the DVR off the shelf in the back room. They play darts, sample the presumably-cannabis-laced goods, and otherwise fuck around. Why? Because there is absolutely no danger present, despite the use of ski masks, weapons and tactical gear. This is "public safety" being ensured by a raid on a sitting duck that threatened no harm to the surrounding community. The final result of all this noise and damage? Tickets for violating a city ordinance.
But despite their expertise, the cops missed a couple of cameras. And that's going to hurt them. Especially when one female cop is caught on camera disparaging one of the owners -- an amputee confined to a wheelchair -- by stating she wanted to kick her in the "nub." (Enjoy the first few seconds of this video, where a cop attempts to break down a set of metal PULL doors by hammering them in the wrong direction with his ram.)
The police department has responded to the recording that got away with nonsensical claims that the released footage is "non-chronological" and "edited." I can't even imagine what the full footage shows, other than there being a bit more breathing room between unprofessional actions and misconduct on the part of the raiding officers.
This is the charade of drug enforcement: cops raiding a dispensary for code violations, rather than its potential ability to diminish the safety of other Santa Ana residents. And doing it in full battle gear, as though it expected a hail of gunfire in response to its backdoor-smashing entry. The entire incident is pathetic, bordering on nauseating: a pointless, vulgar display of power that wreaked havoc on a local business simply in order to issue two citations.

Has VDI Peaked? A Change in the Adoption Drivers Sheds New Light, and New Life
Winning teams delight in the 'doing', not the 'winning'
When I was growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Chuck Noll was the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and his leadership was my first glimpse into what separates teams that win from teams that don't. My favorite quote from Noll exemplifies his view both simply and eloquently: "The thrill isn't in the winning, it's in the doing." What Noll taught his players, including Terry Bradshaw, 'Mean Joe' Green, and Franco Harris, is how to delight in the joy of doing, over the joy of winning. Why? Because the 'winning' won't come unless your passion comes from the 'doing'!

The chatter of families and the smell of grilled lamb and chicken from barbecues wafts through a newly built tourist park perched on a windy hilltop overlooking Lebanon's border with Israel.
This park, in an area occupied by Israeli troops until 10 years ago and pounded during the 2006 Hezbollah war with Israel, is a sign to many Lebanese of the revitalization of the south. But it's a symbol to others, particularly Israel, of what they fear most: an Iranian outpost on the border.
The development was paid for by Iran, whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to arrive in Lebanon tomorrow to cement his relationship with Hezbollah, the Shiite political party and militia that is Israel's principal enemy in its northern neighbor.
Mr. Ahmadinejad will attend a rally Thursday in the nearby town of Bint Jbeil and briefly visit this park with its horseback rides, paintball arena, palm-thatched dining areas, and small-scale model of Jerusalem's golden-domed Al-Aqsa mosque – topped with an Iranian flag. Southern Lebanese supporters of Hezbollah are eagerly looking forward to Ahmadinejad's visit to this hilltop village, a key battleground in the 2006 war.
"This place means the same to Ahmadinejad as it does to us," says Mohammed Hussein, taking a break from cooking lamb kebabs. "This place is a symbol of sacrifice and freedom."
Other Lebanese, however, express misgivings about the imminent arrival of the outspoken Iranian president, fearing his stage-hogging antics will provoke friction along the perennially tense Lebanon-Israel border and potentially aggravate already strained ties between Lebanon's Shias and Sunnis. On Tuesday, an open letter signed by 250 politicians, civil society activists, journalists, doctors, and teachers called on Ahmadinejad to stop meddling in Lebanese affairs and end its military and financial backing for Hezbollah.
Front line?
"One group in Lebanon draws its power from you… and has wielded it over another group and the state," the letter said. "Your talk of 'changing the face of the region starting with Lebanon' … and 'wiping Israel off the map through the force of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon'… gives the impression that your visit is that of a high commander to his front line," the letter added.
Hezbollah has requested its supporters turn out en masse to greet Ahmadinejad when he arrives Wednesday on what will be his first visit to Lebanon since taking office in 2005. Iranian and Lebanese flags line the highway linking Beirut's city center to the airport alongside portraits of a smiling Ahmadinejad inscribed with "welcome" in Arabic and Farsi.
Hezbollah follows Iran's religious system and is the recipient of large quantities of financial and military aid from the Islamic Republic.
Ahmadinejad's visit will be a welcome morale booster for Hezbollah at a time of rising tensions in Lebanon over an investigation into the assassination of Rafik Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister who died in a truck bombing in February 2005.
Although Syria was widely blamed for Mr. Hariri's death, there is increasing speculation that the Netherlands-based Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is handling the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings, has uncovered evidence implicating Hezbollah in the assassination.
Hezbollah has denied any involvement, insisting that Israel killed Hariri. The tribunal is thought to be preparing to issue its first indictments against individual members of Hezbollah before the end of the year.
Syrian room
With the spotlight on Hezbollah, Syria has been given some breathing space, allowing it to patch up relations with Arab states like Saudi Arabia and regain some of the influence in Lebanon it lost in the wake of Hariri's death. The United States also has stepped up its diplomatic engagement with Syria, hoping to revive peace talks with Israel and to gradually wean Damascus from Tehran's tight embrace.
Saudi Arabia has played a role in the same process by encouraging Saad Hariri, the Lebanese prime minister and son of the slain Rafik, to reconcile with the Syrian leadership. Saad Hariri has met several times in recent months with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whom he once blamed for ordering his father's murder. Last month, he publicly exonerated Syria in a newspaper interview, saying his past accusations were "political."
Some analysts believe Syria is maneuvering for advantage by playing off its strategic alliance with Iran against Saudi and US efforts to win Mr. Assad to their side.
Still, Syria needs Hezbollah, the most powerful political force in Lebanon, to help project its influence in its tiny neighbor, and the three-decade alliance between Damascus and Tehran shows no sign of unraveling.
"If Syria is reshuffling its cards, it has to take into account Hezbollah as much as Iran," says Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, an authority on Hezbollah. "They are not equal in terms of power, but they [Hezbollah and Iran] benefit Syria in different ways and the alliance between them is extremely important."
'Axis of resistance'
In a sign that the alliance remains intact, Assad visited Ahmadinejad in Tehran on Oct. 2 and both pledged to expand the "axis of resistance," the informal union of nations and militant groups opposed to Israeli and US ambitions in the Middle East.
"Policymakers in Washington at first thought Assad's comments in Tehran were an exaggeration by the Iranian media," says Andrew Tabler, a Syria analyst at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, "but the Syrians have confirmed Assad's words, which… demonstrate the 'axis of resistance' seems stronger than ever."
The prospect of indictments against Hezbollah has roiled Lebanon's sectarian waters, particularly between Shias and Sunnis, which inevitably has affected Ahmadinejad's high profile visit to Lebanon.
Last week, in Tripoli in north Lebanon, posters of the Iranian president were erected with a X across his face and the message: "You are not welcome in Lebanon." On Monday, Lebanese media reported that the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a Sunni Al Qaeda affiliate, issued a warning that "the whole of Lebanon will tremble if Ahmadinejad sets foot in Lebanon."
Last month, the Abdullah Azzam Brigades released a televised documentary attacking Hezbollah and the Shiite sect in general (adherents of Al Qaeda's chauvinistic brand of Islam deem Shiites to be apostates).
The slickly produced program, titled "The Oppressed Sect," referring to Sunnis, features scenes from Lebanon's 16-year civil war of Shiite militiamen attacking Palestinians and more recent footage of Hezbollah fighters with Sunni captives during clashes in May 2008. The hour-long documentary was compiled in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon.
But this isn't the case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility last year for firing a pair of rockets into Israel from south Lebanon. United Nations peacekeepers patrolling the southern border are wary of a repeat attack to coincide with the Iranian president's visit to south Lebanon.
"The Israelis would not be able to resist firing back into Lebanon knowing Ahmadinejad is in the district," says one UN officer, who asked that his name not be used.

Rooney substituted for Salmon in the second set and started the third. Hoff and Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) played as substitutes.
The U.S. Men dominated the first set, taking and 8-3 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO), scoring on two kills by Salmon, two from Patak, one from Priddy and two kills and an ace by Lee. Puerto Rico struggled to get its offense on track and the United States led 16-11 at the second TTO. A U.S. error made it 16-12, but Team USA scored twice on a Priddy kill and Puerto Rico error to go ahead 18-12. Puerto Rico called timeout and the scored two straight points on a U.S. serving error and a kill by Rivera. But the U.S. Men responded with three straight points on two kills and a block to go ahead 21-14. Team USA reached set point at 24-16 on a Priddy kill, and then won the set on Puerto Rico's error.
Puerto Rico started strong in the second set and took a 7-5 lead before the United States scored three straight points, including a kill by Hein and a Patak block, to reach the TTO with an 8-7 lead. The two teams battled back and forth. Team USA managed a two-point lead at 15-13, scoring on a Priddy kill and Puerto Rico error. But Puerto Rico came back with two Rivera kills to tie the score, and then went ahead 17-15 on two U.S. errors. A Soto kill made it 18-15. Knipe substituted Rooney for Salmon, but Puerto Rico still held the lead at 19-16. The United States scored two straight points on a Lee kill and Puerto Rico error to pull to within one at 19-18. Puerto Rico called timeout, but Rooney came out and tied the score with a kill. Again, the teams battled back and forth and the score was tied at 21-21 on a Lee kill. That would be the last point that the United States scored on offense as it scored the final four points on Puerto Rico errors. Team USA reached set point first at 24-22 on a PR attack error. Enrique Escalante's kill made it 24-23, but Escalante's serving error won the set for the United States.
The U.S. Men took an 8-5 lead in the third set, scoring on two kills by Lee, one each from Hein and Hein and Rooney and on blocks by Priddy and Hansen. They extended the lead to 9-5 before Puerto Rico scored twice to make it 9-7. With the United States winning 11-8, Puerto Rico scored three straight points to tie the score. Knipe called timeout and the U.S. scored on a Puerto Rico error. The two teams battled back and forth. Team USA reached the second TTO first at 16-15 on a Patak kill and extended it to 17-15 on a Puerto Rico error. Puerto Rico scored on a U.S. error, but the United States scored three in a row on a Puerto Rico error and a kill and a block by Rooney to go up 20-16. Puerto Rico scored on two straight Rivera kills to pull to within two. But Knipe called timeout and Priddy came back in and got a kill to help the United States hold the lead. Team USA reached match point first at 24-21 on a Priddy kill. Rivera came back with a kill, but Priddy ended the match with a final strike.

BERKELEY (CBS / AP) — California reached a settlement with former football coach Jeff Tedford on Monday that will pay him up to $5.55 million for the final three seasons of his contract.
Under terms of his contract, Tedford had been guaranteed $2.3 million a year for the final three seasons of his contract.
With the settlement announced by the school on Monday, Tedford will get $1.8 million in 2013, $1.8 million in 2014 and $1.95 million in 2015, saving Cal at least $1.35 million over the three years.
The deal allows Tedford to keep a larger share of any salary he receives in the next three seasons as a college head coach or NFL head coach or assistant. The university and Tedford will split evenly any amount he earns in excess of $1.5 million in any year in those roles before Dec. 31, 2015.
"During his tenure at Cal, Jeff Tedford deeply cared for his student-athletes, their performance on the field and in the classroom, as well as their families, this department and the entire university," athletic director Sandy Barbour said in a statement. "We appreciate all that Jeff contributed to Cal's reputation for excellence during his 11 years at the university and wish him well in all his future endeavors."
Tedford is the winningest coach in Cal history with an 82-57 record. He was fired in November after going 3-9 last season.
Tedford also played a big role in Cal's $321 million renovation of Memorial Stadium and adjacent $150 million on-campus High Performance Center that gave the school the facilities to compete with the rest of the Pac-12.
"I am proud of all the accomplishments we achieved together at Cal, both on and off the field, and the manner in which we raised the program's national profile and expectations," he said in a statement. "I am honored to have played a role in the renovations to California Memorial Stadium, and in improving the facilities, with the goal of enhancing the experience for the entire Golden Bear community.
"I look forward to maintaining my strong personal bond with my former players and staff, while pursuing the next chapter in my professional career."

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Muromonab-CD3 is a monoclonal antibody. It is used to reduce the body's natural immunity in patients who receive organ (for example, kidney) transplants.
When a patient receives an organ transplant, the body's white blood cells will try to get rid of (reject) the transplanted organ. Muromonab-CD3 works by preventing the white blood cells from doing this.
The effect of muromonab-CD3 on the white blood cells may also reduce the body's ability to fight infections. Before you begin treatment, you and your doctor should talk about the good this medicine will do as well as the risks of using it.
Muromonab-CD3 is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.

So, yesterday I got a session on an Epic Oxygen board and can compare it to my Spleene Session 141.
The Oxygen is 135X47 which is pretty short and wide compared to the Spleene at 141X43.
The Spleene is the normal shape for the door type boards, the edge being concave just a little bit, and with very square tips to give you amazing upwind ability.
Been on a Spleene for light wind since 2008.
I was under the impression that you really had to have that shape to get great lightwind performance.
So the Oxygen has a shape like your normal sized twintips do, the sidecut is convex for good carving and at 135cm, I thought it was too short to do the job.
I was shocked and pleasantly surprised by what the Oxygen did.
First off, it is light, flexy and lively... it did not feel like most dead flat, square, no carve lighwind boards. Wood core with a nice flexy tip and the tips have a shape that releases off the water really, really well, and somehow help make the board not feel like it is 47cm wide.
It carves and transitions like your regular board does, and better than many.
The construction looks very good, the board comes with two sets of fins, the smaller ones were on this board. The pads and strap combo are very good, held my feet nicely with my booties on and the foot pads are exceptional, the toe grip was great.
It also happens to be a graphically good looking board.
The best thing I liked about it, was that you I could go out in wind as light or lighter than what the Session can, but it jumps like a regular sized TT, which is huge for me.
Being of very basic talent as a rider, I can use all the help I can get, and when I get on my Spleene on the light days, after having ridden my Shinn Luigi most of the time, my feel for jumping on the Spleene is just not there, it releases off the water crappy and I sometimes do those fancy one footed board off tricks even when I don't mean to!!!
The first jump on the Oxygen felt totally normal, not like I was on a lightwind board, it edged and released the way you want a board to. It did not feel large or heavy in the air and it was easy to land. It also slides around to toeside very smoothly for carvy transitions.
I came back in and rode my Shinn Luigi for a few minutes, just to make sure I was not imagining things.
So if you don't ride your lightwind board unless you absolutely cannot go out without it, I recommend trying a modern shorter wider lightwind board like the Oxygen.
I was told that this idea works but I was skeptical.
I tried a few short lightwind boards in the past that sucked.
The Epic Oxygen just changed the lightwind game completely, for me.
I can go out and actually have fun on a lightwind board.
That is a big deal to me, for sure.
So who wants to buy my Spleene????
...because I've gotta get some Oxygen.

As you know, it hasn't been the greatest of years for NBC, the channel that owns this very website you are now reading. But TV is a cyclical business, and all it takes in one big smash hit to turn a network's fortunes right around. And NBC believes the key to finding that hit lies in hiring… the guy from that one Old Spice commercial. Well, okay. All right. I guess that could work. From Variety via Entertainment Weekly:
Isaiah Mustafa… The star of the memorable Old Spice commercials has closed a talent deal with NBC, which hopes to add him to one of the network's current or new series, Variety reports.
Mustafa's previous credits include small parts in shows like NCIS, Ugly Betty, and Castle before he booked the Old Spice ads — one of which aired during the Super Bowl… "What's funny is no one knew me as being funny before," Mustafa told EW's Kate Ward. "Because the only things I had done were these episodics and procedurals where I was kind of this tough guy, prison guard, cop, or FBI guy. So now, people are like, 'Oh, he's funny.' That commercial … really helped me to climb that ladder of success."
Mustafa told Variety that he just shot another Old Spice commercial, which is set to air in the coming months.
You can watch the original Old Spice ad right here As a former ad man, I can tell you without hyperbole that the ad is brilliant. Utterly brilliant. It's nine times better than most sitcoms currently on the air. And plenty of superstar actors (and directors, for that matter) got their start by appearing in commercials. Mustafa is excellent in the ad, of course.
But the reason the ad is outstanding is not simply because of the performance. It's the concept and the writing. The writing is top shelf. And when you hire Mr. Mustafa to appear in your soon-to-be-determined NBC show, you do not get that writing included with him. (Given ABC's "Cavemen," you don't really want ad writers working on your TV shows, anyway). So while it's nice we're going to see more of Mustafa, it would help if it came in the context of "Starring in a new show created by Matthew Wiener," or something totally awesome like that.
No word on if NBC also signed the horse.

Being in the magazine business, it's pretty easy to get caught up in putting the best stuff on our cars just because it's the latest, greatest, or biggest thing out there. We often lose sight of what is most practical for our cars, and especially our wallets. Be it engine components, suspension stuff, wheels, tires, or whatever, it's so easy to get sucked into the "bling" aspect of a particular component just because it's "cool."
For this tech piece we dialed it way back and decided to go to the roots of a simple disc brake replacement installation. This basic install takes place on a second-generation Camaro that was in some dyer need of some new brake components. The calipers and rotors looked to be as old as the car itself. And even though we were sure the pads had been changed at some point, that was up for discussion though—the existing surface was about as thick as the 8-track tape we found under the rear seat.
We got on the phone and called up the experienced team over at Classic Performance Products (CPP) in Anaheim, California. They are known for their basic suspension and brake kits, and some of the most top-of-the-line performance components in the industry, so we knew they would be able to point is in the right direction for our simple swap. We told them we wanted to go with their stock replacement offerings for our '71. We're talking no bells or whistles, just a basic, proper-functioning brake system. The discs aren't slotted or drilled (although CPP offers those for about 50 bucks more), and the booster and master cylinder are stock replacements.
This simple disc brake replacement can be performed by anyone in their garage or driveway with some basic hand tools and a couple of free hours. Not only is it easy, its' effective. You'll instantly notice the newfound stopping power of the new binders. Best of all, you'll only need about $380.00 and a friend to help bleed the brakes once you've completed the install.
In order to keep costs down, we went with individual brake components for our '71. But if you need spindles for your ride, CPP offers the 1970-78 stock spindle disc brake wheel kit (which includes new spindles) for $549.00.
Source Interlink Tech Center manager, Jason Scudellari, starts the brake install by removing the vintage brake calipers. He loosens the allen bolt with a 3/8-inch wrench on the top and bottom of the caliper bracket.
With the bolts removed the caliper just lifts off.

From inside the car, Jason removed the brake lever pin on the brake pedal arm in order to remove the rod that's connected to the master cylinder. Before removing the booster and master, we disconnected the front and rear brake lines.
With everything removed, it was time to start putting the new stuff together. First thing to do before installing the new brake components is to pack the bearings with a good dose of wheel bearing grease.
Before we installed the new discs, the spindle also got a good dose of grease.
With the old hardware removed, we then installed the new CPP-supplied clips and brake lines to the existing brackets.
Just loosen the four bolts where the booster connects to the firewall.
With the bearings packed, Jason then dropped the bearings into the CPP-supplied brake discs.
We purposely left the old brake calipers connected until we were ready to install the new ones. This was done to prevent unnecessary leaking of the existing fluid left in the old lines.
The new lines are pre-cut to the necessary length, so they bolted right up to the back of the new calipers.
You may be so inclined to take a shortcut, or try to save money by using some of the old parts, but we highly advise you use the new hardware that comes with the kit. It will only bite you in the rear down the road. Jason tightened up the new castle nut and topped it off with the new cotter pin.
With the new discs and calipers bolted up, Jason moved on to bleed the new master cylinder. We connected the supplied master cylinder bleeder kit to the brake line attachment, then filled the master with air-free fluid. You'll need to pump it about 25 or so times, or until there are no visual air bubbles in the line.
It was then time to move forward and bolt up the booster. Again, this is an exact replacement system, so everything lines up just how you would expect.
The existing brake lines then bolted right back up to the proportion valve. All that was left to do was fill up the master cylinder with brake fluid and bleed the brakes. Our replacement system works just like new and the whole deal only set us back about $380.00. If you want to go for the kit that includes new spindles, you're looking at about $549.00.
The new discs look sweet, and the calipers just bolted right in place with no issues whatsoever.
With the new master bled, we then bolted up the original proportion valve. The kit doesn't come with one, so be sure to save your original. They rarely go bad, but if you happen to need a new one, CPP has them in stock for about $75.00
Next, Jason hooked up the master cylinder to the booster, then the brake pedal to the brake rod.

Cannibals have the ability to regenerate health by consuming other fallen enemies on the battlefield. Marauders resurrect allies and coat them in scab-like armor plating. While consuming or resurrecting, the synthetic creatures are vulnerable and won't act you.
Is it a valid risk / reward strategy to focus on taking down a Cannibal or two and baiting the other synthetic troops to consume or resurrect it? Then while baiting, unload on them before they can armor up?

Firefighters were called to the scene of a fire this morning at One World Trade Center in New York. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
Updated at 1:15 p.m. ET: Smoke that was reported on the 88th floor of One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday morning was from welding work and not an actual blaze, the Fire Department of New York said.
A civilian reported smoke just before 7:45 a.m. When firefighters arrived, they could see smoke coming from the 88th floor, FDNY Battalion Chief Kevin Brennan told NBC News.
Firefighters arrived and encountered crews doing welding work, which caused the smoke to be visible from outside the building. The equipment was being used as intended, and there was no actual fire, according to officials.
About 12 workers were on the floor at the time, and no one was injured.
For more visit NBCNewYork.com.
The Port Authority called the incident "a false alarm."
One World Trade Center, the giant monolith being built to replace the twin towers destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks, laid claim to the title of New York City's tallest skyscraper on April 30.
Workers erected steel columns that made its unfinished skeleton a little over 1,250 feet high, just enough to peak over the roof of the observation deck on the Empire State Building.
The building is still under construction.

She's a remarkable chanteuse who wrote and produced her forthcoming album Halcyon, but did you know that Ellie Goulding got her start as a musician playing the clarinet?
"I love classical music and I would love to play in an orchestra," Goulding told CBS Local about her formative years with the woodwind instrument. "But by itself [the clarinet is] kind of grating. And I played it for years. Then I was like, 'No, I'm done with clarinet and I'm going to play guitar.' I self-taught, I'm self-taught at guitar."
One major advantage the clarinet has over guitar: maintaining a manicure. Goulding plays largely with her fingers and the years of plucking have wrecked havoc on her nails. Well, the guitar and her self-admitted bad habit.
"I do not have great nails and it's because I have this habit — the camera can't see me doing it, but I'm always picking my nails. Which is gross, sorry. I have to wear fake ones if I want them to look decent. Also I can't play guitar otherwise."
Manicures are irrelevant to the other duty Goulding took on for Halcyon as co-producer. But the singer insists she was already co-producing on her first album as well.
"To be honest, I've always co-produced my stuff. Even on the last record, I just forgot to put it in the album sleeve," Goulding laughs. "I say that in the sense that me and Jim [Eliot, co-producer], both of our efforts, creativ[ity] I suppose, ideas and everything went 50/50 into a track."
It is an important credit for many reasons, but one of the major reasons being the lack of female record producers. The BBC resurrected the question of where all the female record producers are in an August 2012 article, pointing out that while women like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Adele dominate the charts that female domination does not extend to behind the mixing board. Goulding intends to stand up and raise her hand, taking full credit for what she's accomplished.
"I was like, 'Do I write down that I was co-producer or not?' But then I realized that it was actually really important because pretty much I come up with a lot of stuff. I felt like it was only fair. Me and Jim made my record like kids, really. We experimented with sounds and played around, messed around. We'd mess around to the point [where] we'd find these really special little things. Like vocal things or lyrics. It really was experimentation that made the record."
That production experience sets Goulding miles ahead of the other women dominating the pop charts, who neither produce nor play any instruments. It means she is directing her own art with a depth most artists only dream of, be it experimentally or with purpose.

Siesta Key resident Joe Volpe said he and his neighbors created a neighborhood patrol because of drivers speeding on their streets and teenagers egging cars and homes.
"People have had enough," he said. "They want to clean up the neighborhood."
Last month, the neighbors in the Higel Avenue and Treasure Boat Way area asked the sheriff's office for help in starting a neighborhood patrol. May 22 was their first day patrolling their streets and looking for minor violations.
Three days later, a woman who lived three blocks away became the latest victim in a series of home invasions in Sarasota and Manatee counties. The Whispering Sands Drive resident was beaten and raped.
"(That incident) doubled the number of patrol volunteers," Volpe said.
Now, with 100 volunteers and more signing up every day, according to Volpe, the minor crimes have been curtailed, and the neighbors are feeling safer about the major ones, such as the home invasion.
"Neighbors are talking to each other more," Volpe said. "That's the key."
The volunteers schedule themselves for a two-hour patrol. During those two hours, two volunteers get in a car and drive around their two-square-mile neighborhood. If they see someone speeding, they call the sheriff's traffic notification line, 365-TAGS, with the car's tag number. If they see a suspicious person, they call the sheriff's office directly for assistance.
With the home invasion and rape that occurred nearby, the volunteers are also paying special attention to the single women and the elderly in the neighborhood.
"We're going back to the days when neighbors watched out for neighbors," Volpe said.
Siesta Key resident Joe Volpe said he and his neighbors created a neighborhood patrol because of drivers speeding on their streets and teenagers egging cars and homes.

More than 1,000 cost-saving initiatives were identified.
A large energy company asked BCG to help reduce costs in a key division and—more important—build and deploy a strong cost culture. (The company had undergone cost-cutting exercises in the past, but these efforts did not address the corporate culture, and thus had not led to sustainable change.) Among other aspects, the new effort would lead to cost ownership, stronger accountability, and greater adherence to budgets.
BCG took a bottom-up approach to assess the current culture and determine how employees felt about the initiative. It surveyed 15,000+ employees to evaluate the degree to which they were ready, willing, and able to change. By analyzing the results, BCG was able to identify the five biggest strengths and weaknesses of the current cost culture, which shaped the case for change and overall design of the change program.
The company rolled out a three-year cost reduction plan and a four-step communication and change management plan to revamp its culture. Specific measures included a new performance review cycle (giving employees and managers greater visibility on their progress against targets), greater accountability (making people at all levels directly responsible for costs), and a mind-set of continuous improvement (empowering individuals to identify and implement new cost reduction initiatives). The company also leveraged Smart Simplicity to understand employee behaviors and decisions, and reshaped the context to foster greater cooperation.
Next, BCG implemented Rigorous Program Management to ensure both country business units and headquarters had visibility into the initiative portfolio, allowing for forward-looking course corrections. As a result, the new culture took root, and the company positioned itself for superlative cost performance in its industry.

Dwight Howard is soliciting fans for a new nickname
A big man needs a big name. Dwight Howard is hoping to measure up in Los Angeles.
Howard, whose nickname was Superman, is looking to shed any comparison to Shaquille O'Neal, his arch-nemesis who also had a fascination with the "Man of Steel."
Howard tried on "Iron Man" but was told that former Laker A.C. Green, the man who held the record for most consecutive games played, had the nickname.
So Los Angeles Timesreporter Mark Medina tweets that Howard is looking to his 3.2 million person advocacy board for help.
@DwightHoward said he's going to ask his Twitter followers for suggestions on what his new nickname should be
The drinking lamp is lit.
If Howard wants to stick with comic book creations we might suggest "The Punisher," "Elongated Man," "The Joker," "Nightcrawler," "Dr. Doom" or Daredevil.

Like most Nicholas Sparks stories, �Safe Haven� is set in a sleepy North Carolina seaside village that oozes Southern charm.
Like most Nicholas Sparks stories, �Safe Haven� is set in a sleepy North Carolina seaside village that oozes Southern charm.
There are waterfront fish houses owned by life-long residents who know one another�s family histories and late 19th century homes with porch swings shaded by towering live oaks.
There�s a rain-soaked kiss between a sweet, widowed store owner Alex (Josh Duhamel) and new-girl-in-town Katie Feldman (Julianne Hough).
There�s even a canoe scene reminiscent of a moment from �The Notebook.�
But the couple�s serendipitous meeting is only the beginning of the story � the chemistry is where the similarities to Sparks� other love stories end and a wave of suspenseful intrigue takes over.
In the romantic thriller, which opens today, Feb. 14, Hough�s heroine has left Boston on the run from an abusive husband, Aussie actor and �Revolution� star David Lyons.
That sense of foreboding is what makes �Safe Haven� so special, says producer Wyck Godfrey.
�The thrills, the danger of it, left me on the edge of my seat,� the producer said during a live, behind-the-scenes look at the local film that screened in theaters last month. �It�s also about second chances � about picking yourself up after heartache and learning to love again. I cried when I read it, but I usually cry every time I read good scripts.�
�Home away from home�
Filming for the Nicholas Sparks adaptation kicked off this past June and wrapped about 45 days later.
In May, a few of the Relativity Media production�s 200 crew members began the search for filming locations, said production supervisor Bass Hampton, who had previously worked as locations manager for five other Sparks� films, including the locally filmed �Nights in Rodanthe.�
Though Sparks set �Safe Haven� in Southport, scouts considered Wrightsville Beach and Varnamtown before deciding on the novel�s setting for filming, he said.
�At first, we were worried we might disrupt business, but I think it worked out that we enhanced peoples� businesses,� Hampton said. �Southport bent over backwards to accommodate us. It was a great place to spend the summer. You really got a chance to get to know the place and its people.�
The shoot presented a few challenges for residents, however.
City officials received complaints after movie crews set off fireworks during late-night hours in late July. The incident prompted Southport officials to review the city�s filming ordinance.
Despite the hiccups, �Safe Haven� producer Marty Bowen, who filmed the pilot for the TV series �Revenge� in the area in 2011, said the community was �staggeringly supportive.�
Whether it was a local barkeep sitting out a glass of his favorite bourbon � Booker�s � for a nightcap, or neighbors bringing over a 10-pound pan of baked ziti after the birth of his twins at New Hanover Regional Medical Center, locals found �lovely� ways to welcome the filmmakers, Bowen said.
�Everything about shooting in North Carolina, Wilmington and Southport has been special,� he said. �It�s a home away from home.�
A �pleasant little movie�
The hospitality went both ways.
�Safe Haven� filmmakers are estimated to have spent between $15 and $20 million in Southeastern North Carolina on qualifying expenses, such as crew salaries, lodgings and construction costs, according to the N.C. Film Office.
Set builders bought materials at local stores. Leigh Leverett, a Wilmington-based costume designer, said she shopped for wardrobe pieces at boutiques in Southport and Wilmington.
The costumer said the stars� wardrobes reflect the laid-back beach vibe the region is known for.
�Because it�s set in Southport, we were trying to go for a realistic, inexpensive look, not what Hollywood would say is real,� she said. �There�s shorts, tanks, button-up cotton tops. The kind of things you�d be able to pick up locally. It�s comfortable � and it�s a pleasant little movie.�
Now, those in the small Brunswick County Community who have already come to love the film are holding their breath to see if America will, too.
Hotelier Dave Pukenas, who runs the Robert Ruark Inn at 119 N. Lord St. in Southport with his wife, Linda, said most guests weren�t aware of filming until they arrived for their stay.
Mention of the shoot whetted their appetite for star watching, he said.
�We had a lot of people really interested in the production once they found out it was filming here, so we�d take them down and show them the set,� Pukenas said. �We didn�t have anyone from the production stay with us, but it was a very vibrant, good summer here.�
Expectations about town are high.
�We have several friends who have businesses in town and we�ve discussed the potential it has, so we�re all anxiously waiting to see what happens,� Pukenas said. �I�m hoping it will really drive people here.�

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has granted companies a one-month extension to submit information about hazardous chemicals used and stored at oil and gas drilling locations to local emergency personnel.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has granted companies a one-month extension to submit information about hazardous chemicals used and stored at oil and gas drilling locations to local emergency personnel.
On Sept. 11, the OEPA issued a letter saying oil and gas well owners and operators had to file documentation outlining what hazardous materials were on site above certain thresholds with the agency's State Emergency Response Commission, county local emergency planning commissions and fire departments who cover the area. Ohio law had previously allowed this information to be filed along with state information for oil and gas companies, but the U.S. EPA recently ruled the requirements of the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act had to be met separately.
The reports are standard requirements for other industries handling hazardous materials, so first responders can know what they might be dealing with should an emergency arise at a site. The filing deadline for an annual report was March 1, 2013, but because oil and gas wells were notified after that date, they were given until Nov. 15.
Chris Abbruzzese, deputy director for communications with the Ohio EPA, said the agency has been working with the Ohio Oil and Gas Association to present seminars on meeting the requirements. However, it has become apparent that some entities need additional time.
"The SERC recognizes that facilities are diligently working to compile the information needed to comply with EPCRA and is providing an extension, asking companies to submit their reports no later than Dec. 15, 2013," he said.
Colorado-based PDC Energy Inc., which has drilled two wells in Washington County and has three more permitted, fully intends to comply with the rules, said Michael Edwards, senior director of investor relations for the company.
"In our normal course of business, our operations in Colorado and West Virginia, I think there are very similar regulations," he said.
In Monroe County, 35 wells have been drilled or are being drilled into the Marcellus and Utica shale formations, another eight are producing and 30 more have been permitted, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. County emergency management agency director and LEPC coordinator Phillip Keevert said some companies have already submitted their information and others have advised him they're working on it.
"They're reporting like they're supposed to," Keevert said. "The companies were just socked with the deadline."
Even before the requirement was made official, officials said the companies have been working with first responders to plan for potential emergencies.
"They've talked to us. We've had training and so forth," said Sardis Volunteer Fire Department Chief Ralph Hall. "We need to work with them ... so we know what to expect and what to do."
Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department Chief Aaron Reed said there are multiple well sites in his department's coverage area, including one in Washington County's Aurelius Township. That one is being drilled by Marietta-based Triad Hunter, which has submitted the appropriate paperwork to the department.
"Traditionally, most of those companies, especially the bigger ones, are really good about it," Reed said. "That's their bread and butter. They have to conform to the EPA laws, or they pull the plug on them."
Last year, Triad brought in Wild Well Control, a company that deals with blowouts and other emergencies at oil rigs, to work with first responders. Wild Well would actually be responsible for controlling such an emergency situation, but would work closely with first responders, said Rocky Roberts, vice president of Appalachian Operations for Triad Hunter.
"It's important to have communication with the first responders," he said. "It's a way to protect themselves and the community around them."
Triad invited Caldwell firefighters to tour the rig. The company also uses a scale model to familiarize first responders with the layout
"They already know the composition of the drilling rig, what people would be where and what chemicals would be stored there," Roberts said.
Caldwell firefighters have also toured well pads operated by CONSOL Energy.
In Noble County, ODNR records show that as of Oct. 26, there were nine producing wells, 40 drilled or being drilled and 20 permitted.
The activity in Noble and Monroe counties is much greater than what Washington County has seen so far. ODNR lists just two drilled wells, one in Adams Township and one in Waterford Township. Triad Hunter's well has also been drilled, Roberts said, although it and six others were still listed as permitted as of Oct. 26.
Jeff Lauer, director of the Washington County Emergency Management Agency, said Triad has been "going above requirements" when working with local officials. For example, the company let Lauer know when there might be some flaring, or burning off of excess gas, a standard safety precaution on such operations.
"So if somebody calls 911 ... we already know what's going on," he said.
Citizens can request copies of the reports through their local emergency planning commission. There are protections granted for chemicals considered trade secrets; in those cases, identifying information for the chemical is replaced with general class or category information.
However, Abbruzzese noted that even information that can be legally withheld must be disclosed to health care professionals "who need the information for prevention and treatment activities."
One of the primary hazardous materials on the large drilling sites is diesel fuel, Keevert said. Reed said there usually aren't a lot of others "unless it's right at fracking time."
Triad Hunter's document on file with Washington County lists diesel and barite, a substance that, according to the U.S. EPA website, is used as a weighting agent in drilling fluids, and can cause gastrointestinal disturbances and muscular weakness with acute exposure to amounts of more than 2 milligrams per liter.
Roberts said barite is not on-site all the time. It's stored in bulk in closed containers, and when it's added to drilling fluid, the materials contained within multiple casings to prevent them from coming into contact with surface water, he said.
