Being food obsessed as we are, we couldn't let them leave hungry, so we came up with a few sweet dishes that take little time in preparing, and threw them together as fast as we could. First, we served our favourite Baby Spinach and Strawberry Salad, which is always a winner. A box of ripe mangos was waiting for us when we returned home from traveling, so the wonderful Mango Chili and Coconut sorbet was created. We mixed a separate serving for Paloma, without chili, but after she reached into my plate and tried the spiced sorbet, it was clear that no kids' version was necessary. She loved the spice! The chocolate truffles are another crowd pleaser. People always enjoy them and can never believe that they contain no cream or butter, as rich as they are.
Paloma was in heaven with all the attention and presents. Perhaps her favourite one was a set of animal nesting dolls that we got at the beautiful P.O.S.H. in Chicago. She played with them all day before the guests arrived.
Lastly, I wanted to share some very exciting news. We were invited by the awesome creative director at G Living to be among their contributing Green Chefs. We've always loved the site and were very happy with the invitation. See our introductory post here, and the Fig and Hazelnut Pizza post here.
5 mangos - peeled and pitted
1 cup unsweetened dry coconut flakes
juice of 1 1/2 limes
1 1/2 cups purified water
6-8 tablespoons raw agave nectar
3 or less teaspoons chili powder
dash of cayenne pepper
In a high speed blender, combine all the ingredients. Chill well and put into an ice cream maker for 25 minutes or however long your brand of ice cream machine suggests. Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chocolate Truffles
(Makes 28 small truffles)
15 dates - pitted
1 cup almonds
1 cup unsweetened dry coconut flakes
2/3 cup walnuts
2/3 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons carob powder
1 tablespoon maca powder
1 tablespoon mesquite powder
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a food processor, thoroughly mix all the ingredients until moldable. Form the truffles. Roll into ground pistachios, ground almonds, small coconut flakes, and raw cacao - many possibilities here. Keep refrigerated.

Mike Vick unlikely to make start in Washington after concussion
PHILADELPHIA — You knew it was inevitable.
Michael Vick and injuries go together like milk and cookies.
But one of the last things anyone expected to KO Vick, who played every snap of the first eight games, would be a concussion.
But that is what Vick sustained in the second quarter of his ninth start Sunday after back-to-back tackles by nose tackle Jay Ratliff and linebacker Ernie Sims, the former Eagle, who both came up the A gaps between the center and the guards. The back of Vick's head hit the ground on both plays and seemed to be jarred by one of Ratliff's knees.
It was an awkward situation for Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who had no choice but to throw rookie quarterback Nick Foles into the fray. Foles guided the Eagles to 17 points but gave up 14 points on an interception return and a fumble return.
While a team source feels it is unlikely Vick will play on the road next week against the Washington Redskins, that's very preliminary.
"We'll see how all of that goes," Reid said. "I have to see how Michael is first. … In terms of the severity of it, we'll have to wait."
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson, while hoping Vick could return quickly, also hopes the quarterback exercises caution.
"He's a little dizzy, blurry," Jackson said.
If Vick is cleared — and the concussion protocol is under intense scrutiny, the NFL being sued for the way it used to deal with the injuries — he is the starting quarterback. Continued...
"But he's hurt right now," Reid said. "So I have to just see how he's doing. Let's take a little consideration for Michael here."
Vick marched the Eagles 81 yards for a score on their first possession, completing four of five attempts for 59 yards. He ended the drive with a 2-yard lob to Riley Cooper. Vick completed six of nine attempts for 70 yards and a 127.1 passer rating.
Vick's injury also means the Eagles have to get veteran backup Trent Edwards ready. Edwards was scratched Sunday and emergency quarterback Jason Avant pulled a hamstring in the first half.
l l l
To add insult to injury, Vick also just learned the NFL fined him $7,875 for his low block against the Saints during Patrick Robinson's 99-yard interception return.
Vick also was penalized on the play, the 15 yards marked off on the ensuing kickoff.
l l l
Foles became the first Eagles rookie to throw a touchdown pass since Brian Westbrook in 2002. The last Eagles rookie quarterback to throw a TD pass was A.J. Feeley in 2001.
l l l
If Andy Reid is in his last days as head coach of the Eagles, his next destination could be the San Diego Chargers, according to a CBS report. Continued...
Reid was rumored to be a strong candidate to replace Norv Turner after the 2011 season.
Turner and general manager A.J. Smith supposedly had one foot out the door when a snag developed. That snag, although not confirmed, could have been Reid's tenuous status with the Eagles. A source said Reid was working on an exit strategy in case he was axed by the Eagles.
Turner and Smith mysteriously returned for this season but are in danger of being let go. The Chargers are 4-5.
Reid has a home in Southern California near San Diego. A change of scenery could serve him well, especially after the death of his son, Garrett, due to a drug overdose.
l l l
NOTES: The Cowboys scratched linebacker Dan Connor (neck stinger), the two-time Daily Times Football Player of the Year out of Strath Haven and cornerback Michael Jenkins (ankle), among others. … Eagles tight end Brent Celek played in his 89th straight regular season game. Celek had three catches for 31 yards. He's fourth among active tight ends in consecutive games played. Jason Witten of the Cowboys tops the active list with 148 straight games played. Witten caught eight passes for 47 yards. … The Eagles snapped a two-game winning streak with referee Walt Coleman doing their games.

Dodge Charger 2006-2010, GT-R Series Slotted Brake Kit, 2-Piece Rotor by Brembo®. The GT-R Brake Kit will give you the very best braking performance, on the road or on the track. This system is designed for aggressive braking without fade. Large diameter 2-piece floating rotors and rigid, monobloc, nickel plated multi-piston calipers greatly improve brake system performance and heat dissipation. This kit is easy to install and will work seamlessly with your factory master cylinder, ABS, and traction control system.
Your high performance car should stop as well as it goes; unfortunately your stock brake system isnt up to the task. Sure, its okay for casual driving, but push your car through the twistys on a deserted road, or take your car to a track day, and it wont be long before youre experiencing brake fade, poor pedal feel, and increased stopping distances. Get the most sophisticated high performance braking system ever made for the road, the Brembo GT-R. The Brembo GT-R is just one step removed from Brembos full race braking system. It uses the same style aerospace aluminum billet, monobloc calipers and 2-piece, floating rotors. Brembo engineers design each brake system upgrade for the specific vehicle and driving conditions. They put the optimum combination together based on a thorough knowledge of OE braking systems and the use of an unlimited range of caliper, piston, friction material, and disc combinations. With a Brembo system youll experience improved pedal feel, better brake modulation, and improved brake performance. Braking action will be noticeably more immediate and decisive, and it will remain consistent even during race track use. And a Brembo system is easy to install. It comes with everything required for installation, and its fully compatible with your cars master cylinder, ABS and traction control system.
The Brembo GT-R brake system starts with large, lightweight, 2-piece floating slotted brake discs, to reduce unsprung weight and increase brake torque and heat dissipation. The cast iron discs are made from a proprietary cast iron alloy, which enables them to last much longer than comparable high performance and racing discs. Theyre slotted to continually clean and refresh the pad surface, shed water and debris, prevent gas build-up, and provide increased durability under extreme braking conditions. Theyre also vented for cooling and resistance to brake fade, and zinc coated to give them an attractive corrosion resistant finish. For lightness and performance, the cast iron disc is attached to a precision milled billet aluminum center section, using Brembos proprietary floating hardware. These fasteners, called bobbins, allow the disc to float in both radial and axial directions, enabling the disc to expand and contract according to temperature variations. Brembos unique anti-rattle disc hardware eliminates the noise usually associated with floating discs.
Most OE calipers are sliding calipers, with pistons only on the inboard side of the brake disc. Theyre inexpensive to make, but very heavy and flexible during braking, which results in poor brake performance. In contrast, Brembo GT-R monobloc calipers are precisely machined from lightweight, aerospace aluminum alloy, for incredible lightness and rigidity. The one-piece, monobloc caliper includes an integral stiffening bridge for stiffness and a large open area for heat dissipation. The GT-R caliper is also mounted in a fixed position over the rotor, with multiple opposed caliper pistons that act on the brake pads with more precision. The multiple pistons are sequentially sized for even brake pad wear and the stainless steel piston inserts are ventilated for cooling. Brembos Quick Release Pad Retaining System is designed for quick and easy pad changes and incorporates an anti-rattle feature to eliminate noise. The brake pad friction material is a proprietary compound developed especially for Brembo, and specially selected for each application. The caliper mounting brackets are specifically designed for each application, then precision machined from billet material and anodized for an attractive, durable finish. The caliper is nickel plated for appearance and corrosion resistance.
The GT-R calipers are connected to your cars hydraulic system with Goodridge brake hoses. Goodridge is the only brake hose system approved for use in every country in the world. The hose consists of a PTFE (Teflon) inner hose covered by braided stainless steel, which provides a firm pedal and eliminates the spongy feel that is often felt with stock rubber brake hoses. With Goodridge, you can be assured that every inch of pressure from the pedal is transferred to the caliper. Every Brembo Brake Kit includes all the hardware necessary for installation, and comes with detailed and comprehensive instructions. Brembo warrants to the original user that this brake kit is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase.
Brand: Brembo Part Numbers: |
In its 50 years of existence, Brembo® has secured a prestigious place for itself in the automotive braking system sector. This position can only be held through continuous innovation in products and services, maintaining the highest possible quality levels, offering competitive prices and focusing the utmost attention on safety, individual and public health and respect for the environment. The group's Quality, Safety and Environment policy expresses Brembo's commitment to client satisfaction and ongoing improvement.

Very impressed with the GT Series Slotted Brake Kit performance on my 2009 Hyundai Genesis, feels totally different from the original brakes! The price is right!
Just installed the kit on my 2012 BMW 3-Series and it looks real good plus the braking has significantly improved!! Love it!

Apple Q2 2013: 37.4 million iPhones, 19.5 million iPads sold
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Handhelds, PC / Laptop, Portable Audio / Video
Apple is in the midst of its Q2 2013 earnings call, highlighted by 37.4 million iPhones and 19.5 million iPads sold. This represents record Q2 iPhone and iPad sales. Overall, Apple posted $43.6 billion in revenue, of which $9.5 billion was profit. While many analysts were predicting a crash-and-burn quarter, this is, instead, still growth. However, the growth rate has definitely slowed to the lowest it has been in years. To compare to last year, Q2 2012, Apple earned $39.2 billion in revenue and $11.6 billion in profit.
As for other products, Apple sold 3.95 million Macs, compared to 4 million last year. iPod sales continue to slow, with 5.6 million Q2 2013 sales compared to 7.7 million as the same time last year.
Bloomberg: Nokia Lumia 928 coming to Verizon next month
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Microsoft, Rumors
It looks like Verizon Wireless is set to finally offer the Nokia Lumia 928, giving Verizon a flagship Windows Phone 8 device, starting next month. While no formal announcements have been made, two people familiar with the details have confirmed it. Since flagship Lumia smartphones in the US have typically been AT&T exclusives, it'll be interesting to see what the Verizon effect will have on sales. The Lumia 928 will have an aluminum enclosure rather than the polycarbonate Lumias that we're used to, with a 4.5-inch display, 8-megapixel camera, and wireless charging capabilities.

Google Glass won't launch until 2014 says Eric Schmidt
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Wearables, Google
Despite Google Glass Explorer Edition units already being in the hands of developers, it appears that Google won't be ready to release Glass to the masses for another year or so. Originally the company had hopes to release it's wearable computing device by the end of 2013 for general consumers, but comments from Eric Schmidt in an interview on BBC Radio 4 says otherwise.
In response to a question asking when Glass will be available, Schmidt said, "there will be thousands of [Google Glass] in use by developers over the next months, and then based on their feedback, we'll make some product changes, and it's probably a year-ish away."
Obviously, we are in mid-April, so it sounds like the earliest we'll see Glass hit the market will be Spring 2014. A disappointment to many, we're sure, but a device like Glass needs to be done just right, and we're glad to see Google taking the time to get it right before releasing it. You can listen to the interview here--fast forward to the 4-minute mark to hear the Glass discussion.

Analyst: iPhone 5S delayed to September due to fingerprint sensor issues
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Rumors
Analysts are reporting that the Apple iPhone 5S is set to be delayed because of problems Apple is having with integrating a fingerprint sensor. The issue seemingly stems from the color coating of the paint and getting it to work with the rumored fingerprint sensor that will be a part of the iPhone 5S. The end result is that the next iPhone, the lower-cost budget iPhone, and the next iPad mini will all launch closer to September rather than the June/July timeframe.
One important note here: Apple has never specified a release date for the iPhone 5S (or even the existence of the device itself,) so to call this a delay seems disingenuous. These delays are really based on the best guesses of the analysts in the first place. In other words, this "delay" really is the analysts saying their guesses were wrong, but not taking the blame.

Microsoft to bring back Start button in Windows 8.1
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Microsoft, PC / Laptop, Rumors, Software
It looks like Microsoft is set to bring back the Start button in Windows 8.1, a mainstay of the Windows OS that was removed in Windows 8. According to a report from The Verge, the new Windows 8.1 Start button will not include the traditional Start button functionality, but will rather be a method of taking you back to the Start screen. In addition to the Start button making a reappearance (in name, at least,) Microsoft is also said to be including a feature that will allow users to boot directly to the desktop, bypassing the Start screen altogether.

Director: Sergei M. EisensteinCast: Aleksandr Antonov, Vladimir Barsky, Grigori AleksandrovSoviet Union, 1915, 75', black and whiteSilent
Sergei Eisenstein's revolutionary feature has so long stood as a textbook example of montage editing that many have forgotten what an invigoratingly cinematic experience he created. A 20th-anniversary tribute to the 1905 revolution, Eisenstein portrays the revolt in microcosm with a dramatization of the real-life mutiny aboard the battleship Potemkin. The story tells a familiar party-line message of the oppressed working class (in this case the enlisted sailors) banding together to overthrow their oppressors (the ship's officers), led by proto-revolutionary Vakulinchuk. The film climaxes in the justly famous (and often imitated and parodied) Odessa Steps massacre. Eisenstein edits carefully orchestrated motions within the frame to create broad swaths of movement, shots of varying length to build the rhythm, close-ups for perspective and shock effect, and symbolic imagery for commentary, all to create one of the most cinematically exciting sequences in film history. Eisenstein's film is Marxist propaganda to be sure, but the power of this masterpiece lies not in its preaching but its poetry.

I've always said that meeting your favourite stars is something I've never really been bothered about. I think you set yourself up for disappointment if you think any different.
Mostly, I like stories of people meeting famous people in ordinary circumstances, like "Jim Bowen nicked my parking space at Asda", or "Penelope Keith asked me where I'd bought my cardigan", or "Angela Rippon complained about the noise we were making in our cabin on a cross channel ferry".
Still, in my life, it appears that I have met quite a few famous people. I thought I'd list some of them for you for a laugh. They are all true.
Christopher Lee gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was four years old and he was playing in a celebrity golf tournament in St Andrews and my mum took me up to meet him. Lee was most famous for his Dracula movies at the time. I remember nothing of the meeting. Apparently he remembers every second.
Ben Kingsley smiled at me at a dinner function. I walked past Ben and checked him out. He said, "Hello" in a, and I'll be honest with you here, quite flirty way. Effectively, I could have had him. But didn't. That would be wrong. He's Ghandi for fuck's sake!
Fine Young Cannibal, Roland Gift held a door open for me in a hotel. And this was when the Fine Young Cannibals were going strong, so it was quite a big deal at the time. He was, as they say in the streets, "well fit" actually. He was wearing all black and had a good bum. What's he doing now, I wonder?
I was in a lift with Nastassja Kinski. I was working at a film awards thing and I took the hotel lift downstairs. In the same lift was Nastassja, who was panicking about heaps of press being outside. Tempted to remind her that "Tess of the d'Urbervilles was a long time ago, love", I restrained myself and thought only how much of a little girl she seemed, even though she must've been about 30 at the time. She was wearing fabby biker boots with a pouffie light pink JP Gaultier dress. I don't remember what I was wearing.
Simon Callow said hello to my dog on
Jo Brand asked me where the best curry house was in
Harry Hill asked me and my work colleagues for advice on a joke before he went on stage at a theatre I worked in. He wanted to parody the Bacardi advert that was showing in cinemas at the time. You know the one; where guys are gadding about in the
There were two versions; a Cockney one and a Scottish one. The tagline was "if you're drinking Bacardi". We filled in the blanks for the Scottish one for him. Seconds later he ran on stage and incorporated what we'd said into his act. We were glowing with pride.
Robbie Coltrane told me to "Beat it, eh?" as I snuck a wee look at him rehearsing a Dario Fo play at a theatre I was working in. Grumpy fat bastard.
My mum was chatted up by the late British comedy great, Dick Emery on Great Yarmouth pier. I was getting his autograph; he was trying to cop off with my mum. Ahhhh, they don't make 'em like that anymore!
I sat next to Will Young in a pub in January. Well, at the table next to him, actually. His mates got told off for playing music on their laptops by the barman. That made me snigger a bit. The urge to howl the phrase "Light My Fire!" urgently and repeatedly millimeters away from his face was strong in me, but then I remembered that I'm not fourteen just in time. Although, in retrospect, I think Jim Morrison would have been proud of me.
I was behind Wet Wet Wet's Marty Pellow in a queue for a cashpoint machine in

According to research, nearly 298 Wisconsin drug rehabs treated an estimated 17,765 citizens in 2005 for drug or alcohol addiction. In fact, the national estimate for 2004 and 2005 showed that 122,000 Wisconsin citizens needed but did not receive drug rehab for illicit drug abuse and another 442,000 citizens needed but did not receive drug rehab for alcohol abuse. These numbers are on the rise and there is a strong need for drug rehabs in Wisconsin.
To seek immediate help from a licensed drug rehab in Wisconsin , complete the submission form or call us at to speak with someone about a drug rehab program today.
Wisconsin has an expansive drug threat across the state that intensifies in select areas. Areas of particular concern to law enforcement agents are eastern and central Wisconsin. Powder and crack cocaine are readily abused and distributed in these two areas of the state. The abuse of heroin is increasing, especially in target areas such as Milwaukee. As in many other states, marijuana poses the most concern due to its availability and frequent abuse. Behind the strong drug threat in Wisconsin lies three drug trafficking organizations. With any of these organizations, they are the powerhouse in the transportation and wholesale distribution of drugs. The group that has been noted as responsible for the transportation of drugs such as cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine is the Mexican organizations. The second is the Nigerian criminal groups that push the distribution of heroin from Southeast Asia. And the third organization is the Dominican drug traffickers that distribute drugs like cocaine and South American heroin.
With the strength and persistence of these criminal groups, cocaine and crack are frequently abused in Wisconsin. In 2003 and 2004 approximately 4,857 individuals were admitted to Wisconsin drug rehab programs for cocaine abuse and addiction. As noted above, drug trafficking organizations from Mexico are responsible for most of the cocaine being transported into Wisconsin from the state's southwest border through Chicago or Milwaukee. Transportation of cocaine in Wisconsin is usually concealed in vehicles such as tractor-trailers. Federal authorities seized 53.3 kilograms of cocaine in the year 2006.
Yet another drug threat in Wisconsin is the abuse of heroin. 1,427 individuals were reported in 2003 and 2004 to have been admitted to Wisconsin drug rehab programs for addiction to heroin. The abuse of heroin in Wisconsin has actually stabilized over the past few years. Although abuse of this dangerous drug is not on the rise, the availability of rising purity levels of heroin target a younger audience and concentrate in the Milwaukee and Racine areas of the state. This could lead to a future increase of abuse of heroin. Drug traffickers from West Africa and South America are the primary distributors of heroin to Wisconsin. Brown heroin and black tar heroin both only account for a small percentage of admissions into Wisconsin drug rehabs. More of those admissions were for individuals battling marijuana abuse.
In 2003 and 2004 there were 4,092 individuals that were reportedly admitted to Wisconsin drug rehab programs for marijuana addiction. These numbers are not surprising considering marijuana is the most widely abused drug in Wisconsin. In 2006, federal agents confiscated approximately 15.2 kilograms of marijuana. The cities of Milwaukee and Madison play the role of major destination points and also transshipment points for Mexico-produced marijuana. As in other states, Wisconsin is also noted for local cultivation of marijuana.
As with heroin, methamphetamine production and abuse in Wisconsin is temporarily stabilized. Studies have not shown an increase in the distribution of methamphetamine, but it is readily available and individuals are still abusing the drug. The production of methamphetamine expands from Minnesota and Iowa into many rural counties in western Wisconsin. Mexican drug traffickers play a small role in the import process of methamphetamine from the southwest border. Most of the production is local by small clandestine laboratories. In 2006, there were 22 reported meth lab incidents in Wisconsin.
Over 1,761 individuals were admitted to Wisconsin drug rehab programs for prescription drug addiction. Current investigations show that the abuse of prescribed drugs such as Vicodin and OxContin are a growing issue in Wisconsin. As with most other states, the primary way these drugs are obtained is through illegal sale and distribution by individuals in the healthcare field. The abuse of diverted controlled substances in Wisconsin continues to be a problem.

There are always so many amazing links, I always love sitting down and going through to see them. Ya'll never disappoint when it comes to bringing great ideas, like these from last week....
Mandy at House of Rose got these lockers from her old high school (which is all kinds of cool in my book.) She brought them home and spruced them up, yet they still maintain that vintage vibe.
Nancy at Artsy Chicks Rule shared an easy way to update wood furniture. The dreamy dark brown woods looks soooo much better than the original.
But my favorite of the week was this home office makeover by Lindsay of Makely. Every thing, from the wood wall, to the vintage accessories, and even the {real} Tolix chair just makes my heart sing.
As for me this week? I shared how to add a new color in your space without breaking the bank.
REMEMBER: To be featured eligible to be featured you must have the link directly in your post. You can still link up with a link back on your party page or sidebar, but to get featured you must link in the post, m'kay?

Housing Market Sees Big Jump in Sales
By: Kristin Anderson
Updated: May 2, 2012
Homes for sale are going quickly. In fact, sales are up almost 27% compared to this time last year. And while the spring and summer months are known to be a high selling period, this can be largely attributed to the interest rates.
"These fantastic interest rates. They're only 3.75 as of today. So you just can't beat that," said Tijerina.
Simply put, that means buyers get more house for their money. But the interest rates aren't the only factor into the housing market having a quick turnaround.
"People are getting a little bit more confidence in the economy," said realtor Susan Thompson.
Add a low interest rate with economic confidence, and the sum equals houses selling rather quickly. Sometimes within days.
"In the last year or so, typically a house has set on the market you know 30 to 60 days, maybe 90 days," said Thompson. "Where they're now sitting on the market less than 30 days."
But for some buyers, it can be frustrating. Charlene Thompson and her husband are looking to move from Clyde, where the housing market isn't as strong. And they've lost out on houses in a quickly as one day.
"In a way it's kind of discouraging because we can't sell as fast as we can find one that we like," she said.
But realtors don't think this trend is going to stop anytime soon.
"I don't see anything that's really going to make it slow down unless something happens with the interest rates or something. But yeah, I think the market will stay up for, through the summer, at least," said Thompson.

The 84 million bright yellow wristbands distributed by Lance Armstrong's cancer charity have become a well-known symbol of strength and perseverance against adversity.
"LIVESTRONG," they urge.
In the wake of Wednesday's release of hundreds of pages of evidence supporting persistent allegations of doping against the legendary cyclist, there's another take on the wristband.
Critics have struck out the "V" to make it read what they accuse Armstrong of doing for more than a decade: "LIE STRONG."
Still, the flood of less-than-flattering details doesn't seem to be shaking the resolve of fans accustomed to accusations that have swirled for more than a decade, accusations the seven-time winner of cycling's most prestigious event -- the Tour de France -- has resolutely denied.
The information released Wednesday by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is part of a report to international cycling officials supporting the organization's request to strip Armstrong of his tour titles and other accolades. He is also subject to a lifetime ban on competition in events sanctioned by U.S. Olympic sports bodies.
Armstrong's fans took to Facebook and other social media venues to stand by the man many see less as an athletic titan and more as an inspirational cancer survivor who has raised millions for cancer research and assistance.
"Whether you did, or you didn't, you still won 7 tour titles, you never failed a test and what you have done to increase the awareness of cancer, is enormous," one fan wrote on his Facebook fan page.
"Believe me, no one can tarnish the good you have done," wrote another.
It's too soon to tell what the release of evidence against Armstrong and his teammates, many of whom admitted doping, will ultimately have on Armstrong's charity efforts and his overall reputation.

One wedding gift you and your husband might want to consider for yourselves after you tie the knot is a honeymoon to a delectable location. Instead of opting for a tropical destination, book a trip to a location that can quell your sweet tooth!
If you both share a love of chocolate, use this as your focal point to plan a honeymoon you won't forget. There are many locations around the globe, seemingly made for chocolate lovers and honeymooners alike. Here are some destinations to consider while planning your getaway.
Britannica.com reports that Belgium is by far the largest chocolate producer in the world, meaning it's a must-visit location for lovers of the sweet concoction. Here, you're sure to find an abundance of gourmet truffles, hot cocoa and chocolate cake to satisfy your cravings. There are also four different chocolate museums to visit in Belgium to better familiarize yourself with this delectable treat.
If you're more interested in learning about where chocolate originally comes from and how it gets to store shelves, educate yourself in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here, you and your new spouse can travel to some chocolate manufacturing companies to find out how cacao is transformed into the sweet treat you know it as today. Oaxaca has been known for developing (and eating) chocolate for centuries, meaning they know a thing or two about what it takes to make high-quality treats.
Want to keep it local? Stay within the States and travel to Hershey, Pennsylvania, with your loved one to indulge in some of the sweetest treats on this side of the Atlantic. TopTenz.com reports that Hershey is home to none other than the Hershey candy bar company, as well as a chocolate spa and museum - there's plenty to do in what has been deemed "the Sweetest Place on Earth."
If you and your hubby don't want to be too far from the beaches on your honeymoon while still quelling your sweet tooth, take a trip to California to indulge in some chocolate. San Francisco is home to the Ghirardelli company, which churns out batches of gourmet chocolate and ships it across the country. There are also numerous luxury chocolate shops throughout the city streets, making it a go-to location for honeymooners who want something sweet as they enjoy married life.

Apple Sued Over E-Book Pricing: Report (Update 1)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - The Justice Department has sued Apple(AAPL) over e-book pricing in a wide-ranging lawsuit that impacts the broader publishing industy.
"The Department has reached a settlement with three of the nation's largest book publishers - and will continue to litigate against Apple, and two additional leading publishers - for conspiring to increase the prices that consumers pay for e-books," explained Attorney General Eric Holder, in a statement.
French book publisher Hachette Book Group, News Corp.'s(NWSA) HarperCollins Publishers and Simon & Schuster have settled with the DOJ, while Apple, Macmillan and Pearson's (PSO) Penguin Group have not.
Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster will end their "most-favored nation" agreements with Apple and other e-book retailers, Holder said in the release. He went on to say that the companies will be "prohibited for two years from placing constraints on retailers' ability to offer discounts to consumers. They will also be prohibited from conspiring or sharing competitively sensitive information with their competitors for five years."
Rumors of a lawsuit first appeared a few weeks ago, when it looked like a settlement may not be reached.
In an emailed statement, Hatchette said it has "reluctantly agreed to join the settlement of this matter with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), and to begin the process of settling with the State Attorneys General."
Concerns over e-book pricing have been an issue for Apple in Europe, as well as the United States. In late 2011, the European Commission launched a probe into whether Apple and these same five publishing houses raised prices for e-books illegally in 2010.

After being out of town on holidays for the past two weeks, it was nice to get home finally and take the bike out for a spin this morning. Since I don't have to be back to the office until Friday, I did a quick spin out to Cochrane and back home to Tuscany mid-morning. Perfect weather, light traffic, and Hwy 1A is in great shape for cycling. Might have to do that a few more times this week (especially to work off the pounds I put on while on holidays)!
Submitted by seacloud on
Apparently I have a little trouble admitting that we're getting fewer hours of daylight. I rode to my karate workout last night and forgot that at 9:30, it would be almost totally dark. I was quite the ninja riding the pathway back home. I did have one walker mutter something about getting a light, although I felt they could have done their part by not being dressed all in dark clothes and spread 4 wide across the path...oh well.
Since I still hadn't made time for getting the lights back out by this morning, I made sure to leave a half hour later than I could have, just so that it was sufficiently bright that I could get away without my own light source. Rest assured, I'll be getting the lights out tonight!
In other news, I've put a rack and panniers on my new-to-me-this-summer commuter. This is the first I've ever ridden with paniers instead of a pack. I think I like the experience better, although I do notice the additional windage (or perhaps it's all in my head)! I do notice the difference in bike-balance but find it a pretty comfortable way to go.
Here's hoping the nice riding weather lasts the week.
Submitted by tlyyc on
I have used a small backpack all summer, but am concerned that I may not be able to transport home the cooler weather gear I'll require for the morning rides in during the next couple of months. I see there is quite a variety of panniers to pick from in the shops. Did you need to research a lot before deciding on your pannier purchase, or can a shop technician outfit me and my bike with ones to fit my needs? Any key points I should keep in mind before purchasing panniers? Thanks! (and I'll do a quick forum search here on the site for further info/comments)
Submitted by mikewarren on
Have you tried front-only panniers (instead of rear-only)? I find the handling is way more stable.
As to which ones, there's no contest: get Ortlieb. They're totally waterproof, and I've got a pair that's still going strong since 2001. I like the roll-top ones, especially for the front, and they double as pretty-crappy shoulder bags (but, still better than carrying them). bikebike carries them.
If you care for not-Chinese goods, these are made in Germany unlike nearly everything MEC-branded these days...
Submitted by tlyyc on
as well as another option as to a retailer. Thank you.
Submitted by Dionysis on
I have had a set of rear ones for a couple of years now and while they are expensive, they are waterproof and easily large enough to accomodate most change of clothes. And they are Canadian, eh. :-)
As to pannier vs backpack, I started with the pack but hated the resulting soaked back and tried som MEC cheapo panniers. They ended up lasting me several years and I found the ride was much more comfortable.

I did the pack thing for about 5 years and then switched to pannies and I'm not going back
I'm using MEC cheapy pannies and have the MEC waterproof covers which does a good enough job for me. I do sometimes think about not spending for the waterproof ones but how often that it rains that badly in Calgary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Submitted by RichieRich on
I also did the pack thing for over 5years. Really hot/sweaty for most of the year, but in the colder winter the extra insulation was nice. Sometimes when I overpacked my back would get a bit sore. Am now doing the pannier thing and overwhelmingly it's been better. Doesn't take long to get used to the change in balance. Amazing how much you can pack with 2 of them. If concerned about the wet it's easy enough to put everything inside an liner bag.
I actually have a 2nd complete unused set of Panniers, bought in France this spring, that I'll be putting up for sale since I can't justify having 2 sets. Will set up more details if anyone is interested in buying them? Probably ask $70 for the pair just to ensure I get rid of them.

Woman in crox on Langevin Bridge, was passed slowly by a cyclist, I rang my bell quietly again to indicate passing and she yelled at me that "cyclists have to walk their bike across." I'm pretty sure the signs say "cyclists yield to pedestrians." Which IMO, means that cyclists should slow down to walk speeds to pass and ring a bell and pass only when it is safe to do so. When I informed her of this at the crossing she told me to shut up. Ugg, needless to say my morning sucked.
There are another two options available including using the 5 Ave flyover (a bit of a climb up and over), or using the Langevin Bridge road (which is usually at capacity during rush hour).
There is a lot of conflict on this bridge because pedestrians don't stay on the right hand side, fairly high traffic bridge, and there is little room to maneuver.
I've often wondered if it would be better to simply to put a line on the sidewalk for delineation, or have cyclists on one side of the bridge and pedestrians on the other. The bridge also frequently has loiterers on it who congregate on the bridge. Also, not sure if there has ever been light pedestrian bridges that are "hung" off of flyovers (i.e.: 4 Ave).
Submitted by 2wheeler on
There used to be a sign on the bridge for cyclists to walk across. Maybe it was taken down as part of the Bow River Pathway renovations?
I do the same as you and just ride across slowly. It's the safest way. Don't sweat it, some people just need to be right.
Submitted by rustabout1981 on
Once a jogger actually moved over waved me by... like he had eyes on the back of his head and could see me approaching from behind nice guy!
Some people refuse to move over... it takes absolutely no effort.
As I approach the bridge I look to see how many people are crossing the bridge (and actually judge their appearance/sobriety level, etc...). If I don't like what I see on the bridge I continue on. I have the option to cross later on at Zoo road if the traffic isn't too bad.
I am really looking forward to that new pedestrian bridge they are putting in.

Due to a number of factors this morning, I realized I need some upgrades and need to make some minor changes in my preparation and gear. As I need my vehicle after work tonight, I thought I'd try the Park and Bike at Home Road and travel from there to downtown. The ride in was early, in the rain, and on a pathway that I had never used before. That's when I realized that my front light is not powerful enough. Will need to upgrade that.
Upon arrival to my office downtown, I unpacked my backpack and found that my pack is not water resistant...at all. Time to take note of other posters comments and put my clothes in a plastic bag and/or purchase those pannier bags I had inquired about earlier this week.
Other items to look into are better wet weather gloves, a helmet liner or cover, and to find out what reasonable options I have for pants/leggings and footwear. I may need to review http://bikecalgary.org/winterriding page, although I don't really want to have to face that yet.
All-in-all, I really enjoyed the ride and was not all that uncomfortable, however a few minor changes may make mornings in these conditions even more enjoyable.

Besides myself I saw only 3 other riders this morning. The first one was an old lady (just like me) and I didn't see the second one until quite awhile afterward, I was thiking are the old ladies of the world the only ones tough enough to ride in this drizzle! hahaha. So glad we finally got this rain, was getting way too dry. Have a great weekend everyone.

I was pretty much all alone too. Usually 10 St is all abuslte with bike activity, but not today. And there was only one car at the park n bike at the top of Shag. hill. Not many cars either.

"zero customer service"
I have one point to make - if you buy a rheem you will get no, NO, customer service - ever! They will not take calls and will insist you contact an independant service person - thereby ensuring you pay for service calls. Worst company I have ever dealt with!

"Am I on an airplane??"
My mother and I have inherited my grandparents home and have been living in it for the past year. When I grew up here, I remember the old Sears furnace they had. It was rather large, but it did a great job, plus the thing lasted for over 30 years. Back in the early 2000's, the blower motor went and it had to be replaced. They purchased a Rheem Criterion. I couldn't believe how much smaller it was compared to the old furnace, that I actually didn't think it would heat the house properly. As a matter of fact, it does a good job and has been relatively maintenance free for nearly 10 years. The only complaint I have is the noise. It is so loud! This is an old Chicago bungalow, so it's located in the basement. I never remember hearing the old furnace except for the air quietly humming through the duct work. Now, I feel like every time the thing kicks on, we're preparing for take off! When the ignitor starts, the fan motor, which is separate from the blower motor and I assume pulls the exaust out through the chimney, it literally sounds like a jet engine starting up. Then, when the burners ignite, there is a loud click that seems to echo, through the house. Are all newer furnaces this noisy?

"Rebate ripoff"
I recently purchased a new 95% high efficiency Rheem furnace which is listed as having a $200 rebate. The problem I'm having is that Rheem will not honor the rebate because it was not purchased from one of their authorized dealers. I live more than 75 miles from the nearest qualified dealer and it is thus unrealistic to have had them install and then service the furnace. I have tried to deal with the Rheem representatives to no avail.Class action?

"What the heck?"
I had three companies quoted me a Trane to replace my old Rheem unit which is 27 yrs old (and had no prior problems). When I looked at customer reviews, the Trane did not bode well. When I looked at Rheem reviews, it seems no one like Rheem as well. So, what the heck? Which should I go for? Sounds like the quality across the board has gone down.

"Rheem Gas Frunace"
Purchased RGDD-series 70 Plus with 20yr warranty on the heat exchanger. Only repair was from problem in installation, until this last winter. Unit will not heat. Since it is nearly 20 yrs old, and our A/c has been leaking freon (Janitrol), we are considering switching to a heat pump. The furnace heated the house well, but the price of natural gas has tripled in the last year. My only complaint (aside for no longer heating.) is the noise of the fan. Very noisy.

"Rheem 2 stage modulating"
Just had this unit installed so its too early to calculate any lp gas savings but I can tell you its quite a bit louder than my original 20+ year old furnace. My old unit didn't seem to come on as often. It was a 200k btu single stage. After a heat loss calibration I only needed 91k. So I went with a 125 btu. Added a humidifier and a Hepa filter. Also seems to have more condensation coming from pvc stack

LITCHFIELD >> Stop & Shop representatives are expected to come before Inland-Wetlands in a public hearing Wednesday, Jan. 9 with a revised expansion plan for the Route 202 grocery store. The hearing will be held at the Litchfield Firehouse at 7 p.m.
Meanwhile, PLAN Litchfield, an opposition group that sees a new proposed Stop & Shop as detrimental to the town's rural character, is continuing its efforts to stop the project, and will hold a fundraiser with a raffle at Ditto/ Bohemian Pizza on Friday from 8:30 p.m. until closing.
Proceeds will help PLAN continue its fight against Stop & Shop's application that is currently before the Inland & Wetlands Commission.
Stop & Shop resubmitted its expansion plans in December to the commission. The project calls for construction of a new supermarket at the back of the Village Green shopping center — plans whose first incarnation prompted the formation of an opposition group that unsuccessfully attempted a land-use maneuver that might have prevented the development.
When the plans were first presented by property owner Mark Greenberg earlier this year, some residents and critics formed PLAN Litchfield, and argued that the existing Stop & Shop on West Street (Route 202) was big enough, and that a new, 39,000 square-foot store wasn't in keeping with the town's defining beauty and historic integrity.
After the town's land-use staff identified compliance issues with the proposal for the new supermarket, the plans were withdrawn, and developers said they would address the concerns. Meanwhile, PLAN proposed an amendment to the Planning and Zoning Commission that would have significantly limited the size of new retail/commercial buildings.
If the amendment had been adopted and taken effect before the Stop & Shop plans were re-filed, it would have effectively meant no new supermarket. Instead, the land-use panel told PLAN that it would have to pay nearly $10,000 in fees for its amendment to be reviewed, a move that one prominent Connecticut land-use attorney called unusual. PLAN decided to withdraw its request for the proposed amendment.
According to the new site plans filed this week, the proposed project would redevelop a portion of the shopping center and create a new grocery store of approximately 38,000 square feet, without having as great of an impact on other buildings in the plaza that the first proposal.
Instead, the new building would be located entirely on land now occupied by a building at the rear of the plaza, and measures would be taken to accommodate existing tenants in other buildings in the village-like plaza.
For example, a 2,500- square-foot addition would be added to "Building B" to enable relocation of some existing tenants in the shopping center, according to plans. The addition would be located in areas that are currently paved and not located in any wetland or watercourse upland review areas. Continued...
After completion of the redevelopment project, the two existing buildings that would remain and the new grocery store would have a building footprint of about 55,000 square feet altogether and a total gross floor area of about 61,000 square feet.
In addition, the northerly of the two existing curb cuts on Commons Drive would be closed. The elimination of Building D and the closure of this curb cut will enable the site circulation issues, and parking and landscaping in this area of the shopping center would be significantly improved, according to site plans.
The front part of the shopping center closer to Route 202 would not be changed or modified and a total of 369 parking spaces would be located in the entire shopping center after project completion.
"The proposed improvements to the shopping center will not require significant modifications to the existing storm water detention basins located on the property," according to the site plans.
The new plans say there are several opportunities to improve the existing storm water drainage conditions in the shopping center.
"Stop and Shop believes that this application is superior to the earlier application, and it has specifically addressed the comments that were made during the earlier proceeding," according to site plans.
The revised plans have no structures, impervious surfaces or retaining walls located in the area to the rear of the new building. Other than a small set of stairs providing egress from an emergency exit and a portion of a small retaining wall, no impervious surfaces are proposed in the area to the east of the new building, facing an existing watercourse.
A portion of the proposed building would be located within the wetland and watercourse upland review areas, similar to the existing conditions that include buildings and paved parking areas in the upland review areas.
There will be an overall reduction of paved surfaces located in the upland review areas of the eastern part of the property. Parking areas to the side and rear of the existing Building E are now located in the upland review area.
Some of the paved parking area will be removed and replaced with the new building among other improvements, according to site plans. Continued...
The original proposal submitted by Greenberg called for a 39,000- square-foot Stop & Shop in the Village Green Plaza to replace the nearby 19,000-square-foot store, along with other significant changes to the plaza.
The original proposed prompted PLAN to protest at land-use meetings, and then to propose a limit of 12,000 square feet for new retail buildings. The group found the land-use panel's demand for nearly $10,000 in review fees inappropriate and unfair, and a Connecticut land-use expert asked by The Litchfield County Times to assess the issue also labeled the fee request "unusual" given the circumstances at the time.
