Those looking for a weekend of wilderness adventure can find a near-perfect location only a couple of hours from metro Atlanta, straddling the Georgia/Tennessee border in the Ocoee River basin area of the Cherokee National Forest.
Traveling north toward Blue Ridge and ultimately to the twin border towns of McCaysville, Ga. and Copperhill, Tenn., you will likely notice the lack of congested roadways, the rolling hills against a backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains and the abundance of roadside apple orchards, shops and vegetable stands.
One block into McCaysville, as you cross the river and approach the junction of Blue Ridge Road and Highway 68, appears a solid blue line painted diagonally through the road that leads to a corner marker showing the state line separating Georgia and Tennessee. What appears to be one small town is actually two towns in different states. The twin towns are the first of many points of interest.
Less than four miles from the downtown area is where non-stop action can be found any day of the week from sunup to sundown. Antiquing and hiking can be found here, but my favorites are whitewater rafting and my newest affinity—zip lining.
Thrill seekers can easily combine both activities into one day of fun by beginning the day at Wildwater Ocoee River Basin Canopy Tours. Lucky for us, some adventurers who would have been part of our zip line tour got their reservations for rafting and zipping mixed up and we had two excellent and knowledgeable guides all to ourselves. Morgan Pierce and Jacob Sparks, along with Sparks' significant other, Brittany Lee, gave us one-on-one instruction and guidance and made the experience one that combined the rush of soaring through the treetops with the calm associated with hanging out with good friends.
The adrenalin began to pump from the start as we readied to zip through the trees and over valleys, listened to precautionary measures and adjusted equipment that fit snuggly in rather personal places on the body.
As I climb the circular stairs leading to the first departure platform trying to not think about how high in the air I am; I attach my straps onto the zip cable, recall the instructions on how to brake and what to do when I reach the next platform. The instructor shouts "ready," I step off the platform feeling nothing under my feet, hear the hissing sound of a metal pulley zipping along the cable that is my safety net and it's on. There's no turning back now.
For the next 60-plus minutes we zipped from one treetop level platform to the next, over suspended bridges, valleys and hills; then came the grand finale. We were told that the last run was the highest and fastest of the course; this excited me. Our instructor, Pierce, said if we wanted to increase our speed to upwards of 45 miles per hour to grab our legs into a cannonball position with one hand and hold on with the other. I happily followed her suggestion and went flying toward the end.
Following our zip line experience, we grabbed a quick bite to eat in town and headed back toward the Ocoee River for part two of the day's adventure—whitewater rafting. Earlier in the day as we departed via the national forest road where we had camped the evening before, it was difficult to imagine that the nearby dry riverbed would, in just a few hours, be a raging river where the 1996 Olympic rafting and kayaking competitions were held. This section of the Ocoee River is dam-controlled with waters released at specific times.
Unfortunately, we missed seeing the water being released but did hear the loud warning siren that is similar to a tornado warning. By the time we got to the river bank, the water was already rushing in an amazing display of waves and sprays.
It was then time to begin the second adventure of the day—rafting the Ocoee.
After a brief, mandatory (albeit painfully boring for those with experience) safety course, and being fitted for life vests and helmets and given paddles, the group was ready to board the bus to be taken to the put-in point—the base of a 60-foot high wall of water crashing into the relatively calm pool underneath.
Under the expert direction of team leader Philip Cahn, the next two hours were nonstop action and thrills as we traversed crested waves, maneuvered around boulders and paddled in unison with others on the raft to keep our vessel from capsizing or one of our raft mates from going overboard. Cahn continuously instructed our crew on which way to paddle and who should paddle when. We succeeded in both while seeing incredible scenery and getting one heck of an upper body workout.
For zip line tours, expect to pay $79 per person and $40-79 per person for rafting. Combination packages as well as overnight packages are also available. For additional information visit www.wildwateradventurecenters.com.

Rossignol's Scratch and S-series jib skis have won more X-Games medals than any other ski...period.

You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to know that all mammals need water to survive, yet this basic biology principle is apparently lost on the clever folks at Harvard. For the second time in three months, a monkey has died of dehydration at the Ivy League institution: On Sunday, an elderly cotton-top tamarin was euthanized at Harvard Medical School (HMS) after it was discovered that the monkey's cage had no water bottle, an inexcusable oversight that led the university to suspend new experiments at its New England Primate Research Center (NEPRC).
The monkey's death came on the same day that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) made public an inspection report that revealed three other incidents involving the neglectful endangerment of monkeys at the facility in the past three months, including another monkey's death. This recent series of deaths has prompted PETA to call on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to suspend all funding to HMS and NEPRC and to demand a refund of any grant money spent on activity that violated federal animal protection laws, which is required by federal grant guidelines.
Milo was imprisoned at the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC), a facility where PETA conducted a shocking undercover investigation
The USDA has cited HMS and NEPRC for more than 20 violations of the Animal Welfare Act during the past two years, including the following incidents involving serious injuries and deaths:
What PETA is asking for isn't unprecedented. Other universities, including the University of Connecticut and the University of Michigan, have had to return thousands of dollars in grant money after PETA and others uncovered animal welfare violations. After all, it seems only reasonable that our hard-earned tax dollars shouldn't be paying for activity that violates the law.
While the recent deaths of monkeys at Harvard appear to have resulted from carelessness, HMS and NEPRC confine 2,300 other primates and deliberately commit unspeakable horrors against them, such as drilling holes into their skulls and subjecting them to cocaine addiction experiments. Ask the NIH to stop funding this cruelty at Harvard and elsewhere.
This crime is a big shame for humanity - and exactly for this reason I'm against the great ape protection bill because - get it or not - once and for all - ALL PRIMATES AND ALL ANIMALS HAVE TO BE PROTECTED FROM SUCH HORROR! Humanity has to stop it's dangerous criminal attitude! But it seams that the human being is making progress only in technology - but the education of the heart is not improving - it merely got lost!
Again: no speciesism - all animals have to be treated in the same way - this means: stop this shameful criminal abuse - humanity - it is enough now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
By submitting this form, you are agreeing to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal info in accordance with our privacy policy as well as to receiving e-mails from us.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

CD (Item 612169) Motema, 2012 — Condition: New Copy
That's retox, not detox – a set of funky instrumentals from saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin, who's also got some great vocalists along for the ride! This is the first we've heard of Benjamin – and she's definitely a fully-formed talent right from the start – not just on her work on alto and soprano sax – but also on the larger arrangements done for the record, which have a sweet mix of jazz, funk, and soul that's mighty nice! Guest singers really flesh out the sound of the record – which features contributions from Tracy Nicole, Amp Fiddler, Maya Azucena, Krystle Warren, and Jacoria Marzett – and titles include "Soul Squad", "Get Down", "Human Being", "My Love", "Share My Life", "Maceo", and a cover of "Don't You Worry Bout A Thing". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

The "Eternal City" holds a fascination for young people, tourists, businessmen, pilgrims and anyone in search of history, art, culture, business or entertainment. This means that Rome's tourist season remains uninterrupted all year round and despite the ample choice of hotels, it is not always easy to find a room at the last minute, so make sure to book at least a couple of weeks in advance.
Centro Storico (Historic Center)
The majority of the luxury hotels can be found in the centro storico; however, there are numerous hotels in the city center to accommodate any budget. There are several excellent hotels on fashionable Via Veneto including the Ambasciatori Palace, the Hotel Majestic, the Westin Excelsior and the Eden. All of these hotels served as sets in Federico Fellini's film La Dolce Vita. The exclusive Bernini Bristol looks onto the attractive Fountain of Triton, while the Hassler Villa Medici, at the top of the Trinità dei Monti steps, is a constant destination for the international jet-set. Some other fine hotels include the De La Ville, the Grand Hotel Plaza (with its warm, early 19th-century feel), and the Grand Hotel de la Minerve by the gorgeous Pantheon.
There are also many small but very elegant hotels, often housed in old palaces, with well-kept and welcoming common rooms. Some even have balconies with views of the city, or well-tended gardens that are pleasant to relax in during the summer. Of particular note are the Valadier in Piazza del Popolo, D'Inghilterra and the Dei Borgognoni near the lively Piazza di Spagna.
Other affordable accommodations can be found around Campo de' Fiori, full of charming little piazzas with interesting nooks and crannies. Here you will find the Hotel Teatro di Pompeo and the Albergo del Sole. If you are fascinated by ancient Rome, then the Bolivar and the Richmond (with their unique views over the imperial forums), will make your stay even more magical.
Many of the traditional pensioni are privately run and manage to maintain a simple and friendly atmosphere. This makes them preferable to the big hotels, especially for prolonged stays. There are lots of pensioni to be found around the main railway station, Stazione Termini, such as Hotel Grifo for example.
Aventino & Trastevere
In Trastevere, the capital's most lively and colorful area, you will find La Cisterna. At Aventino (an oasis of peace among gardens, cloisters and attractive churches) you will find the comfortable Domus Aventina.
If you need tranquility and appreciate nature and greenery, you may prefer the Lord Byron, which is also particularly suited to the needs of businessmen and women.
There is a wide, varied selection as far as gastronomy is concerned in Rome; choices range from exclusive high-level cuisine, developed by some of the most famous chefs on the international scene to traditional, hearty Romanesca fare in all its manifold variations. There's also Jewish cuisine, testaccina recipes, specialties of Lazio and ethnic dishes, which can be sampled in the plethora of restaurants that offer delights from all over the world.
The only way to really understand the heart and soul of Rome is by tasting its culinary splendors. Romans, like all Italians, love to eat, and so when in Rome, you should do as the Romans do and sit yourself down in a popular trattoria or osteria. This allows you to s teep yourself in Roman culture while you discover the tastes and flavors of traditional cooking through the ages.
Delicious Roman cuisine stems from a time when people were unable to afford a meal made with meat, and therefore had to use offal (entrails), which at that time was considered less "prestigious" but definitely more affordable. Over the centuries, traditional dishes like coda alla vaccinara (oxtail cooked with wine, tomatoes and peppers), la pajata, (veal's offal cooked in a tomato sauce), l'abbacchio alla scottadito (lamb) and la trippa alla romana (tripe), have come to be considered as delicacies.
Centro Storico (Historic Center)
If in search of high-class food, Rome offers a great choice of quality restaurants. There are elegant places in the more exclusive hot els, such as La Pergola dell'Hotel Hilton, the Terrazza dell'Hotel Eden or La Veranda dell'Hotel Majestic. You can also try the delights of creative gourmet cuisine at restaurants such as Quinzi & Gabrieli, Alberto Ciarla, and Le Sans Souci. Tucked away down a small alley, the exclusive Il Convivio Troiani can be hard to fine, but if you are looking for Italian alta cucina this is your place. Agata e Romeo have offered family-run fine-dining for thr ee generations. Romeo is an expert sommelier and the restaurant has over 1500 labels in its cellar. Romolo nel Giardino della Fornarina in Trastevere is the perfect setting for a romantic evening; dine outside in the low-lit courtyard where Raphael is said to have courted his lady La Fornarina. Nino is a cozy option, offering classic Roman and Tuscan cuisine in a warm environment. Or, if you are looking for pizza in the center, try Da Baffetto, which has been serving up some of best pizza pies around since the 1960s.
Inspired by the popular film Babette's Feast, Ristorante Babette has the feel of a 1920s French bistro. Gusto 28 also has a chic early 20th-century feel, and is especially known for its seafood dishes and variety of vegetarian plates. Ancient meets modern at L'Acino Brillo, where creative cuisine and contemporary decor blend delightfully in this hip restaurant and wine bar.
Rosati is also in the center and offers great views with their coffee. A celebrity hot spot during the 1960s and 1970s, they also have a dining room if your espresso leaves you wanting more.
A relaxing way to enjoy a snack or evening coffee is at one of Rome's many cafés, usually serving coffee, gelato, panini and snacks. The elegant Ciampini is located atop the Spanish Steps, and offers amazing views of the city. The famed Antico Caffè Greco is one of Rome's oldest (open since the 1760), and is definitely one of its most exclusive.
Pizzerias and trattorie are definitely the most popular places to dine in Rome, being informal, economical and fast. Roman pizzerias are home to pizza alla romana, pizzas with a thin crust and a crispy edge, as opposed to the soft raised crusts of the Neapolitan pizza. However, if you are craving a taste of bella Napoli, you can't do any better than Da Vittorio. You will find pizzerias in every corner of the city, but Trastevere offers an especially wide choice of pizza restaurants with wood burning ovens, which give the pizza a more intense flavor. Panattoni, Ivo, Dar Poeta, Roma Sparita, Arco di San Calisto, are just some of the high quality pizza parlors. Remo, in the heart of Testaccio, offers outdoor seating and a hip younger crowd. In addition to pizza, don't miss other delicious Roman offerings found at pizzerie and trattorie, such as Supplì al telefono, fried rice balls filled with mozzarella, potato croquettes, fried cod fillets, fried pumpkin flowers, and bruschette, (slices of toasted bread with tomato or oil and garlic).
Est! Est!! Est!!! has been around since the early 1900s, and serves thick-crusted pan pizzas as opposed to traditional Roman thin-crusted pies. This is a great option if you are in the center of the city and don't feel like heading over to the many pizzerie over in the Trastevere.
For gelato, Gelateria Pellacchia in the historical center offers some of Rome's best, as well as coffees and panini. Or, if your belly is rumbling after enduring the lines and crowds at the Sistine Chapel, head over to Osteria dell'Angelo for delicious and traditional cuisine.
The glorious Roman civilization had its origins in small groups of farmers and shepherds who settled along the banks of the Tiber, on the Palatine hills and the surrounding areas.
The most famous myth regarding Rome's origins recounts the Trojans' escape from their ruined city of Troy. With Aeneas as their guide, they reached Lazio, settled there and intermarried with the Latin people. Ascanius, son of Aeneas, founded Albalonga. His ancestor, Amulius took the throne from his older brother, Numitore and forced his daughter Rhea Silvia to become a vestal virgin. However, Silvia was loved by the god Mars and bore him twin sons, Romulus and Remus, who were thrown into the Tiber. The twins survived and were washed up close to the Palatine hills. A she-wolf raised the newborn babies, who were later found and adopted by a shepherd and his wife. An argument between the two brothers over who was the founder of the city was decided when Romulus murdered his brother, and Rome is said to have been established in 753 BCE.
The Roman republic was characterized by internal struggles that eventually led to the success of the plebeians (lower class Romans) and a new order of ruling class. The city expanded, and gradually, the whole of Lazio, the Italic peninsula and the Mediterranean basin were conquered. For almost four centuries, Rome concentrated her energies on building a strong, solid empire. Mighty conquests came thick and fast: from Sannitic and Tarantine wars, to clashes with Carthage and Syracuse. Rome expanded over land and sea to rule a huge area stretching from present-day Britain to present-day Iraq.
In the first two centuries of the Empire, Rome reached the height of its power, but the first signs of its downfall were already apparent towards the end of the second century. The imperial age opened with a long period of peace, and the unity of the empire was secure during the period between Emperors Octavian and Caracallus. However, this unity became increasingly unstable and eventually dissolved.
The fall of the Roman Empire is dated at 476 BCE. The causes of Rome's decline are numerous. The empire was unable to control its many subjects, and social and economic changes created instability as did the forceful arrival of the Barbarians. Christianity also began to spread and emperors tried to unite the empire using religion. Emperors wanted to have their titles sanctified and became Holy Roman Emperors. Emperor Constantine sanctioned the freedom and tolerance of Christians in his edict of 313 CE but he unwisely decided to move the capital of the empire to Constantinople undermining the Empire's power. The pontificate was re-established in Rome with Gregory XI in 1377. The power of the Popes increased as they were able to assign public offices, which led to serious corruption, nepotism, clashes and schisms. The centralization of the papacy and the church's power made a cultural impact on the city of seven hills. Rome became the center of artistic life. The face of the city changed, as palaces, villas, piazzas and churches were built. New streets were created and the Basilica of Saint Peter was restored. The sack of Rome occurred in 1527, and although the effects were disastrous, (all the artists abandoned the city), the wounds were soon healed and a new spirit of rebirth and development enveloped the city. More new districts and streets were created and the population began to move back to the city.
In the 17th Century, Rome went through a period of expansion and beautification, largely due to the work of two major artists, Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini. Clashes continued between the nobility and the populace. Rome's fortune waxed and waned under Napoleonic rule; the church's estates were confiscated and divided amongst French officials and shrewd Italians. The city was subject to French rule until the fall of Napoleon III and the annexation of Rome to the Kingdom of Italy in 1870.
Rome became the capital of Italy in 1870 and the city received a huge influx of immigrants, which led to the rapid, and disordered creation of new dwellings. The situation did not improve with the advent of fascism. During World War II, the city was bombarded heavily by the United States, causing major damage, particularly in the areas of Verano and Porta Maggiore. The city was attacked during the period of German occupation until the end of the war. Following Mussolini's execution, Italy chose to get rid of its monarchy and become a republic, and Rome was chosen as the capital.

Westboro Baptists Don't Show but Counter-Protesters Ready
Westboro Baptists did not show up at Asbury United Methodist and First Baptist churches in South Whitehall, or two Allentown churches, Sunday morning but counter-protesters were there in case they did.
Update: 10:45 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 20 Westboro Baptists do not show up at First Baptist Church in South Whitehall, which was the group's fourth targeted church in the Lehigh Valley. South Whitehall Police Lt. John Christman, who is at First Baptist, said, "It's a non-event. It's been non-violent. It's more social than anything." As for the controversial Westboro Baptists, he said, "I feel fortunate they didn't show." Counter-protesters came to First Baptist, as they did to three other churches earlier Sunday, turning out in case Westboro Baptists did show up. Many carried signs against hate. There were two South Whitehall police cars and several officers at the church location. Update: 10:20 a.m., Sunday, Jan. 20 Counter-protest group at the…

Rapid Sputum Tests for Tuberculosis (TB)Topic OverviewRapid sputum tests are used to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) when other tests show that a person probably has TB. Rapid sputum tests are also called nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAs). One of the best ways to diagnose TB is through a sputum culture. A culture uses a sample of mucus from the lungs (sputum) that is placed under special conditions that allow TB bacteria to grow. If TB bacteria grow, then the person has tuberculosis. The test also can show if a lung infection is caused by some other kind of bacteria. But a sputum culture can take 1 to 8 weeks to provide results. Rapid sputum tests can tell if a person has TB within 24 hours. A test may be done when:1

Hi community,
for every owner of a Debian based dedicated or virtual private server, I want to bring this to your attention.
At the moment (since 07:32h CEST) there are updating, respectively communication problems between numerous Debian mirrors. apt-get and aptitude return an error message as follows right now:
root@katbox ../tmp $ aptcheck

Failed to fetch http://ftp.uni-bayreuth.de/linux/Debian/debian/dists/etch/main/source/Sources.bz2 MD5Sum mismatch
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
You don't need to worry! This md5sum mismatch is not an indication of the Debian servers or mirrors being cracked!
I do have an eye on this issue and will report here, as soon as these systems work well again.

I don't know if it was a conversation... But it's a fair question. Logan isn't like Luke, all destined since day one, and after the lovely (if undeveloped) men she's dated, one might wonder - what does Logan have that they don't?
More precisely, what do they have that Logan doesn't, the answer being: other projects. It's nice to have an actor who's ready to see it through instead of using GG as a jumping-off point for 'bigger and better things.' But I could be wrong about Padalecki and Ventimiglia, I've mouthed off at exiting cast without knowing all the facts before!

Okay, so I came by here to defend some of the confusion over some of the past references....
Emily not going to Yale and Majoring in History- Emily did not attend Yale. Whenever the topic of Yale was brought up, it was always Richard and Richard's parents went but Emily was never mentioned. Penilin Lot attended Yale which is part of the reason why Gran favored her. Emily met up with Richard at Yale alot that's why she knows it so well herself. As for History as a major... well what else was Emily going to major in? She is a major member of the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) so she has to know alot about her "four fathers" and American history.
As for not remembering the 8th birthday party, there was confusing on the Bday parties. The 8th one is where the clown got arrested and the 11th one is where the scavenger hunt ended up in Taylor's garden. However, they never DID mention the themes for both of the parties, just what happened in them.
Were there any others in this episode?
7.1-Luke to Lorelai- "It's like my life isn't even real to me unless you're there, and you're in it, and I'm sharing it with you..."

I just saw this episode today. It made me feel really sad tho. The whole Luke situation, him being so depressed is just sad. At least the hat is coming back!
I really did love Miss Patty's and Babbete's conversation in this episode. The whole rooster, beagle, and hen thing just made me laugh and I loved how Kirk thinks they are talking literally.

loved the scene when Emily applauds Lorelai's independence, then she freezes her out the next day.
That was TYPICAL behavior for Mama Gilmore.

And now... the first of the post-Christopher episode and whoo!
I'm not surprised that Rory isn't shocked that her parents split up. After all, they had a shaky history and now this. I think in one way, she's sad that her parents weren't right for each other after all these years though I think in a way, she always wanted them together. Yet, I think there's a bit of relief because at least that now, her father won't pursue her mother anymore in some type of romantic way anymore. Still, it must hurt that Lorelai doesn't really have anyone right now.
To see Emily trying to have some control and everything goes to chaos while Richard doesn't want to eat anything and just want to watch old golf games is hilarious. It was good of Lorelai to come to her parents for a while and help out. Have Sookie create food for Richard with the suggestions for some chefs while teaching Emily how to use Quicken. Though, she was under the influence of alcohol, I think all those things Emily said about Lorelai's independence was very thoughtful. She must envy Lorelai for the fact that she doesn't need anyone to help her with things. I think in one way, those comments and compliments will steer Lorelai back into the right direction of finding herself again. I think Emily knew that Lorelai wanted to work things out with Christopher and it didn't happen. It was quite sad that Lorelai now has a divorce on her life file. Yet, she gained Emily's sympathy.
Then that next day, Emily went back to her old self. Upset that the party is cancelled and will get a 60% return and such. I think that last scene showed in reference to episode 2.16-There's the Rub about that relationship. Just as they were getting close. Something goes wrong. It's always one-step forward and 2 steps back and Lorelai definitely seemed hurt by her mother's behavior. Then again, maybe Emily doesn't know how to be the warm mother to her daughter. I don't think it's really Emily's fault. It's probably because of the way she was raised.
I don't Mitchum Huntzberger, he tried to get Rory to be on his good side. In way, she kind of made him squirm a bit which is good and she's not intimidated by him. Yet, he's using her so he can get Logan to behave. I'm glad she's not taking credit for it because she's not doing it for Mitchum. She's just steering Logan in the right path for himself. Yet, when everything seems good for Logan. Then came that call and oh man. I feel sorry for him because just as he was enjoying this job he had. It all falls apart.
The townies are now commenting on the Lorelai-Christopher divorce and they're wondering what Luke is thinking about all of this.
Doula is adorable. She looks cute and T.J. and Liz seems to have it all together. I mean, after years of being in bad relationships and going through lots of trouble. She seems happy. She's got a great husband, a new baby, and a talent that is keeping her financially stable. She's got everything. Yet, as history recalls. She always goes to her brother for help. Now seeing her brother living all alone in that apartment and hearing about Lorelai's divorce. What she's saying about the two getting back together is dead on. To see Luke hear it when he's lying on his daughter's bed showed that clearly, he misses Lorelai and I think he is starting to realize how much he needs and probably wishes he could take back all those horrible things he said to her at the supermarket several months ago. I have noticed that he looks a bit grayer in his hair and beard.
It's true what Liz and the townies are saying. Luke and Lorelai need to get back together. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon. What they need now is time to just repair themselves and move forward before they can get back together. This was a really good episode.

Cold As Ice
Almost like blocks of ice the Swarovski crystal Resin cuffs, bracelets and collar by Tessa Edwards are inspired; almost tribal, and raw in its essence. As if excavated from the dark Ages only to skip past the present and straight into the future re-set into golden inlays and gold-plated chains, where harnesses, and halo cuffs in goat fur are but the norm. Yet again a great outcome from attending the Fashion Day at Hackney House, for this is just the tip of the quartz as the designer also creates striking silhouettes in her fashion collection in particular her dresses, and jackets setting the futuristic tone; truly an exciting designer.

20 Questions from the Community
Does it have a soap dispenser that matches it?
Is the vibrant stainless finish a satin finish? want to make sure it goes with my satin stainless sink
How tall is this faucet and how tall is the larger faucet?
Is it low lead compliant?
My sink currently has 4 holes--can this faucet work with that?
Does your oiled-rubbed bronze faucet have a PVD coating to protect it fro abrasions?
How is the water temperature controlled? Does both the water flow and the temperature get controlled from the single handle?
The oil rubbed bronze finish is a living finish and will change over time. Does the color change to a verigris green?
What type of hose does this pull-out have? Vinyl or metal braided?
Is the spray plastic or metal?
Does the K-691 model have enough reach for a double 33" sink? I understand that the reach is about 7.5" but is that enough? I think perhaps the K-690 (with 9" reach) is too large for my very small kitchen.
wher is it made?
How does it switch between regular flow and spray, and can you lock in the spray feature?
I'm between the 690 and 691 and am concerned with the spout reach issue. Would the 7.5 inch spout reach work with a 21x19 d-shape sink if the faucet is located in the corner rather than the center?

Vice-President Joe Biden says that Tea Party members are terrorists: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0811/60421.html
"Just So Ya Know…"
1 . Never Drive a Vehicle in LA Without a License-- Unless You're here Illegally
In Los Angeles, only US citizens and legal residents will have their cars impounded if they are stopped and are found to be unlicensed drivers. Illegal immigrants will be spared. The reasoning behind this decision by LAPD Chief Charlie Beck is that since illegal immigrants can't get a drivers license, it isn't fair to penalize them more than legal residents.
Comcast Coerced by the Federal Government to Redistribute the Wealth of its Subscribers
When Comcast entered into an agreement to purchase a controlling interest in NBC Universal from GE they not only had to reach a deal with GE, they also had to reach a deal with the Obama administration. Does anyone remember before his election then candidate Obama promised that he would "fundamentally transform America"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvJJP9AYgqU
Regulations and Joblessness
We can all agree lack of jobs and unemployment are the number one problem in America. We need to provide incentives to job hiring business to decrease the unemployment problem. People want and need jobs in this country! President Obama, has offered another additional spending plan of $447 Billion plan (not called a Stimulus) to jump start the American economy.
Debt, Fraud, and Joblessness
Out of control drunken waste and spending habits are costing most Americans their financial future. Each child now born in the United States owes the government $34,000 in future taxes. Most money is owed to communist China as long term debt (with interest) sadly, by a free America, a free Constitutional country.
Left Leaning Teachers Indoctinate Our Children
As a strong believer in all levels of education, as an elected school board member, and graduate of a university system with a BS degree in business administration, I do understand and appreciate the values of higher educational learning.
Since the 1960's, we have seen a constant attack by liberal left wing professors imposing their personal liberal progressive will on the students of our nation.
Americans seeking stability!
When I was 21 years old a great democrat was elected by this country, President John Kennedy. I worked for him because he was for free enterprise, a strong defense, and lower taxes to maintain stability. However, as a conservative democrat in Maine, I slowly saw the Democratic Party change in most of New England to a more radical progressive group of leaders...
Freedom Needs To Be Upheld
We need people who will stick to obeying the laws of the land and follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights! Or else they will continue to hurt all American citizens by supporting groups dedicated to the future of bankrupting taxpaying America! Example: By supporting Illegal immigration, liberal public health groups, and international public and non-profit service unions.
Freedom of Choice
Most Americans want to live in a free society and keep it that way forever. Personally as a member of the American Legion and former navy veteran honorable discharged, I can attest to what it takes to defend this country against enemies that would like to destroy our freedom. Since, the time of the American Revolution we have had American Patriots that fought for their freedom, many giving their lives and fortunes. They believed in America and being a free people!

Following up on their previous updates, this weekend Sony PlayStation 3 hackers Cyberskunk and evilsperm have released a Toggle QA PS3 PKG for Rebug Custom Firmware users.
Download: http://rebug.me/?p=1358
To quote: THIS SOFTWARE WRITES TO THE PS3 EEPROM USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
After having to QA a few PS3 in a row. Then installing a different firmware straight after, it was time to cut out the middleman.
Toggle QA will SET/RESET the QA Flag and Token on any 3.41 or 3.55 firmware that has lv1 mmap and lv2 peek and poke patches (which is most of them).
When you run the app it first detects if the PS3 is 3.41 or 3.55. Next it will check if your firmware has any of the required lv1 patches already and only patch the hypervisor with the ones you need. After it finishes patching Toggle QA will check the status of the QA Flag and SET/RESET it accordingly. Then once the QA SET/RESET is done any lv1 patches made will be removed.
1: Install toggle_qa.pkg
2: Run Toggle QA from XMB
3: PS3 will beep and return to XMB. (If you do not hear a beep it has not worked)
NOTE: Every now and then it will hang on the lv1 patching stage. If it has not beeped and returned to the XMB after about 30secs you will need to reboot and try again.
~ Codename: REBUG
Credit and Thanks:
Big thanks to graf and glevand for the hypervisor work.
Everyone involved in getting the QA Flag/Token working back many moons ago.

i find this extremely interesting
Beyer out for UMass
I'm pretty sure our entire first team could be injured for that game and we would still win big.
"When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing" - Bo Schembechler
Take it easy
Janeane Garofalo (Film Actors Guild): "As actors it is our responsibility to read the newspaper, and then say what we read on television like it's our opinion"
Umass put up three rushing yards on Uconn in week 1 and last week Indiana put up 45 points and 596 yards of offense on them. They've also only scored 6 points all year (i.e. Indiana almost shut them out at home). If we don't beat them by 50 I'll be concerned
I'm sure that he's taking it real easy, wherever he is.
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.
Isn't that the same attitude that we had against app st. I thought we learned our lesson of not under estimating opponents.
Bleed blue
I'm sure the team learned a bunch from The Horror about underestimating opponents and will prepare occordingly. The attitudes that "we" (Michigan football fans) express have very little bearing on Saturday's outcome.
My username is spelled "mgordoblue", but it's pronounced "Throat Warbler Mangrove".
I'm not saying that we directly influence the outcome of games. I was just expressing my thought about a lower tier team coming in and everyone chalking this one up as a blow out. Just my opinion nothing more and we have all seen plenty of underdogs take a win this season already. With that said I believe we will see plenty of snaps with our second string playing.
Bleed blue
playing them in 2010 and only winning by 5, and that was when UMASS was still an FCS school before making the jump to FBS. I'm sure no one on the team is taking UMASS lightly, if anything they're probably getting pumped to go out and prove that what happened 2 years ago was a fluke and they're going to crush UMASS into the ground. If we don't have 42 points by the half I'll be sad.

With our defense, this logic might not apply this year.
Not only do we still not know much about our defense this year, but there's really no way they're worse than Indiana's unit.
No excuses. Play like a champion.
I would have thought that they would be no worse than the Western Kentucky team that only allowed 103 yards rushing and less than 4 ypc to Alabama last weekend, but...
How did you feel about our defense 2 games in last year?
thank you, we will see. Lets just hope for michigan to whoop that umass ass
If you don't like Michigan you are a peasant
Better than this one, because the "new system" thing applied, and also because they improved as those games went along. A year removed from RichRod and the system change, I don't see mitigating circumstances that hint at an upside for 2012. I have the same feeling that I had two years ago, that we are either stuck with the upperclassemen who aren't producing, or we have to go to true freshmen who aren't ready yet. At least this year, the true freshmen are studs though.
one of the greatest OL's in college history and then against a team with a funky system that hangs yards and points on everyone.
So there are some mitigating circumstances, but like you I am worried about the D and hoping we improve like we did last year or it will be a looooooooooooooong season.
If you're giving guys time to rest and recover, this is the game to do so.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
Who gets first QB snaps after Denard in this game? Bellomy or Gardner?
Bellomy.. I'm excited to see him play too.
"When your team is winning, be ready to be tough, because winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing" - Bo Schembechler
Devin is only an emergency qb for all intensive purposeses. If denard went down for more than a game I could see them letting belomy and devin compete for time but I would be surprised to hear devin getting many if any qb snaps right now
I know this should be a walk in the park but I somehow am still feeling gun shy. I won't feel good until Michigan is up by 42pts and it is in the 4th quarter.

Just keep repeating this over and over again: "Indiana crushed them"
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
I'm not going to break out the cigars until Michigan has crushed them, driven them from their homes, and heard the lamentation of their women.

would be what is best in life.
Barnum is not even on the 2-deep at center if the Rivals' chart is correct.

Did you not watch the first two games? Mealer has been our starting center. Aren't we all glad that Mealer and Barnum both took snaps at center in the fall.

thankfully... and must not have even noticed who was snapping on Saturday. So someone save me from sifting through many old posts-- what happened there? Must have happened in late stages of camp? (I missed most of that, too)
"You know, for a bartender/bookie, you're pretty judgmental."
Based on what was said at camp, we all assumed that Barnum was going to be the starting center. Hoke is his presser said that the week leading into the Bama game they decided to go with Mealer.

I wonder if Gardner gets any QB snaps at all, I wonder if we see 5th yr senior Steve Wilson after Bellomy (we gave him a scholarship for a reason right?)
Maybe .Hoke gave him a scholly because he works hard and helps the team working as a scout team member

could have said "Denard, out for Umass," and I would not be any more concerned.
After that Air Force game. I wouldnt get too cocky over this UMASS game .. Another debacle like 2010 and we are in trouble
2012 Michigan > 2010 Michigan
2012 UMass <<< 2010 UMass
This is 2012's version of the 2010 Bowling Green game; bottom-dwelling MAC team, not upper-echelon FCS team.
A little perspective perhaps...
In the 2010 game against UMass, we allowed 222 yards passing and 217 yards rushing.
To date this year, UMass is 30 of 57 on passing for 242 total yards, and their rushing game has managed 81 yards on 60 carries. This is not a good offense by any stretch.
I think we're in good shape going into Saturday. Hopefully, Beyer gets back to 100% soon is ready for ND - Clark and Ojemudia looked good out there after Beyer came out as well (4 tackles each, 2 solo, 2 assisted in both cases).

This UMass team is probably the worst team Michigan has played since bowling green. I actually think that BGSU team would smoke this UMass team.
Victory is a guarantee and a blow out is more likely than anything resembling a close game.
I re-watched the 2010 UMass game last night to remind myself what happens when Michigan goes into a game expecting an overmatched opponent to roll over as they enter Michigan Stadium.
If you don't remember... Denard was coming off of 2 consecutive weeks as the National Player of the Week (UConn & ND). He played well, but we fell behind in the 2nd quarter and came storming back before halftime. We let them hang with us until the last minute of the game. Every team that plays us is going to give their best shot because everyone wants to be the next team to "shock the world" by beating Michigan at home.
At this point, my attitude is just win the game and pray no one gets hurt... then move on to Notre Dame.
You feel like you wanna shock the world, then you get a little taste of this
If you don't like Michigan you are a peasant
I rewatched the 2011 Minnesota game to remind myself what happens when Michigan goes into a game expecting an overmatched opponent to roll over as they enter Michigan Stadium.
If you don't remember...we absolutely crushed them in every aspect of the game. 58-0. Wasn't even close.
How about let's panic about the season if this year's UMass game looks like the 2010 Umass game. Somehow I expect the 2012 Wolverines are a much stronger team than the 2010 version.
In that game, Minnesota was at the Michigan 20 and driving to score, but they fumbled and Courtney Avery took it to the house. Without that 14 point swing, Michigan only wins by 44, and therefore wouldn't cover the -45 1/2 point spread of this weekend's game. Which is a loss in Vegas' eyes.
Or something.
