The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History held a Batik Easter Egg Workshop yesterday afternoon on the second floor of the museum. The Ukrainian tradition of decorating eggs with wax is called pysanky, and dates back to 1300 BC.
The ancient practice used traditional motifs that date back even further, to 3000 BC, and many examples were provided for the students by the class instructor, Maria Skaskiw.
Skaskiw learned the art of decorating the eggs as a child in New York. She grew up in a Ukrainian community and she said she believes she began the art after her sister began learning the technique.
"I was fascinated by it and the history — it goes back 1000s of years. There are variations on the motifs, endless variations. I also love the legends behind the art form. My favorite legend says that as long as people keep writing the Easter eggs, evil will not triumph in this world," said Skaskiw with a smile, revealing her passion for the art form.
The students use a kistka, which is the tool used to "paint" the beeswax onto the surface of the eggs. The tool is heated by a candle flame, then dipped in beeswax. The wax is mixed with black soot, so those painting the eggs can see the designs easily on the eggshell.
Skaskiw guided the students through the process, and encouraged them with a reminder that they must "keep a long, steady stroke" when applying the wax, so it will not pool or drip. "The trick is keeping the kistka hot and going straight to the egg when you dip it in the wax."
Those who made mistakes and smeared or dripped the wax were told by Skaskiw to incorporate the mistakes into the design on the egg. "You could make a flower, or a dot," she encouraged, as she showed them pictures of motifs that incorporated that sort of design into the egg.
After the egg is painted with beeswax, it is dipped into the first dye, which is a bright yellow color. Then, the beeswax is applied on top of the yellow, preserving the yellow color for later. This process is repeated over and over, until the design is complete. Skaskiw said they can make the designs as complicated or as simple as they would like.
Many colors of dye were available: yellow, orange, dark red, pink, purple, dark green, blue, violet and black.
"In the end, the wax may be covering the egg, making it black in color, but then you remove the wax and it is like, ahhhh, it looks beautiful!"
Andrea Draughn, who attended the workshop with a friend from work, said she is excited to go back to work and show off her egg. Draughn said her co-workers would be "egg-cited" to see the creations.
The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History will offer the Easter Egg Workshop on March 23 from 1 to 4 p.m. The workshop for 15 participants, ages 12 through adult, will be held on the second floor of the museum. The fee of $10 for members and $15 for non-members includes supplies. Home kits also are available for $20. Interested participants should call 786-4478 to enroll.
Reach Jessica Johnson at email@example.com or 719-1933.

At A Glance: Borrowing its clean lines from the LAX Series 5x5 Bookcase, the 4x2 Bookcase by MASHstudios gives you all the style in a low, wide footprint. Sound English Walnut construction looks great in your study, living room, or bedroom. The 8 compartments, arranged 4 wide and 2 high, provide you with plenty of storage.
What's To Like:
What's Not to Like:
The Bottom Line: The LAX Series 4x2 Bookcase by MASHstudios, with its English Walnut construction and backless design, is a great-looking low bookcase that brings order to any space needing a storage piece.
Cleaning and CareFor simple cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Over time, you may want to refinish the surface with a refinishing agent to regain its original luster. For this we recommend Scott's Liquid Gold. Pour a small amount onto a rag and wipe the entire surface until you have an even finish. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the furniture as this can result in an uneven coat or discolor the wood.If your furniture develops stains like a watermark from a glass, use 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the wood until the stain disappears. For best results, follow this with a treatment of Linseed Oil to refinish the surface to its original quality.Try to keep the piece out of direct sunlight if possible. It is wood's natural property to darken over time when exposed to sunlight, so if an object is left on your LAX furniture and left in the sun for a long time, the covered surface will appear lighter once the object is moved. This light spot will take time to blend back into the surrounding area and may never be fully as dark. Also, don't put hot stuff like pots and pans directly on the wood.
Service includes delivery of large, heavy and or fragile items. Deliveries are made directly to your curb, front door or main lobby. Standard service does not include placement inside your home or business, unpacking, assembly or debris removal. Deliveries are generally made within 7-10 business days from the time of purchase, and occur Monday through Friday. Day and time specific delivery appointments are required, and someone must be present to receive the order. Appointments are generally set between the hours of 12pm-5pm.

Duck Confit Salad with Tangerine Vinaigrette and Spicy Almonds |
Category: | Appetizers |
Source: | Bobby Flay, executive chef and co-owner, Bolo, New York |
Description: | Flamboyant New York chef Bobby Flay likes to prepare Spanish-influenced nouvelle dishes with big flavors. This snazzy salad gets its spine from crispy confit of duck, and its zing from a zesty tangerine vinaigrette made with Sherry vinegar. Some spicy, crunchy almond brittle is the final tie-in between the salad and a tangy amontillado. Making your own duck confit is an option, but it's a laborious process that requires curing the duck for up to two days, followed by cooking in loads of duck fat. For most home cooks, ordering pre-made preserved duck is the preferable option. |
Number of Servings: | Serves 6 |
Ingredients: | 6 preserved duck legs, crisped in the oven and set aside* For the vinaigrette: 4 cups fresh tangerine juice 2 tablespoons high-quality, aged Sherry vinegar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons honey ¼ teaspoon chili de árbol powder ¾ cup extra virgin Spanish olive oil Salt and ground black pepper For the spicy almond brittle: 1 cup sugarv ½ cup water ¾ cup lightly salted almonds 1 teaspoon chili de árbol powder For the garnish: 4 cups watercress Tangerine segments Chives, chopped *To purchase preserved duck legs, contact d'Artagnan, the reputable purveyor of game and other specialty food products. Six legs are $36.50 plus shipping through their Web site, www.dartagnan.com, or call 800/327-8246. |
Directions: | To make the vinaigrette:
Cook tangerine juice in a saucepan over high heat until it is reduced to ½ cup and becomes syrupy. Add tangerine syrup, vinegar, mustard, honey and chili powder to blender; blend for 30 seconds. With motor running, slowly add olive oil until dressing emulsifies. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pour into a plastic squeeze bottle. (May be prepared up to one day in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.) To make the almond brittle: Grease a baking sheet with olive oil or nonstick spray, and set aside. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat, stirring until it becomes a dark amber color. Remove from heat and stir in the almonds and chili powder. Carefully pour mixture onto baking sheet and let harden at room temperature. When hard and cool, coarsely chop. To assemble the salad: In a large bowl, dress watercress lightly with some of the tangerine vinaigrette and arrange onto six plates. Place a duck leg on top of greens and garnish with tangerine segments, almond brittle and chives. Drizzle with remaining vinaigrette and serve. |

New Fennec Foxes
The Carnivore team would like to welcome three new Fennec Foxes to Adelaide Zoo. Matt, Scamp and Amber arrived in Adelaide from Los Angeles in November, just in time for a warmish Australian Christmas.
After spending a month in quarantine at the Animal Health Centre they joined our other two Fennec Foxes, Tizga and Kira, in the exhibits across from the Lions. You can visit Amber in with Tizga and Kira in the exhibit right of the Servals and next door to them are Matt and Scamp.
Diary of a Palm Cockatoo (part 5)
Hi All
There have been a lot of developments since the last entry. The chick has continued to develop very quickly both mentally and physically, and has progressed from being housed in our incubation room to living full time in an aviary. This was a gradual change to ensure that she was ready. Some of the signs indicating that she was ready included; climbing out of her tub and insisting on perching on the edge and also needing to perch to get enough traction to enable copious and very enthusiastic bouts of wing flapping.
Puspa's Arrival
Well, Puspa is here and has spent her first week here at Adelaide Zoo.
On the night she arrived Puspa came flying out of her transport box obviously very happy to have some space and a good stretch. She immediately started checking out her new surrounds munching on apples, grapes and lettuce. Puspa climbed all around her new bedroom, hanging from the roof and having a good look at everything.
New Orang-utan Arriving Today
It is exciting times in the orang-utan building at the moment. Today we are receiving a female Sumatran Orang-utan from Perth Zoo. Her name is Puspa which means flower bud in Indonesian.
Puspa was born in Perth Zoo on the 30th of January 1975 so she will be turning 36 soon. She is coming to Adelaide Zoo in the hopes that eventually she will breed with Kluet our male Sumatran Orangutan.
Orang-utan Arriving at the Adelaide Zoo
Today Zoos South Australia is pleased to announce the arrival of a female Sumatran Orang-utan at Adelaide Zoo as part of the international breeding program. Puspa will be making the journey via Adelaide Airport from Perth Zoo with her keeper who will also assist in settling her into her new home alongside Karta and Kluet at Adelaide Zoo.

2014 Maserati Quattroporte auctioned in Naples, FL
One of first in United States goes for $340,000
One lucky and charitable person walked away from this past weekend's Naples Wine Winter Festival $340,000 lighter but with a set of keys to a 2014 Maserati Quattroporte sedan, one of the first in the United States. The event is held every year in Naples, Fla.
Proceeds from the auction will benefit underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County, Fla. through the Naples Children and Education Foundation. Maserati has brought cars to the event several times in past.
Also donated for charity were a 2013 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, a trip to the Cannes Film Festival and a 13-day trip to South Africa. The F12 sold for $750,000.
The new Quattroporte was unveiled at the Detroit auto show earlier this month. It carries a 3.8-liter V8 making 523 hp or a 404-hp V6. Both engines are twin turbocharged. With the V8, the sprint to 60 mph goes by in 4.6 seconds while top speed sits at 191 mph.
Maserati has yet to reveal the MSRP of the new Quattroporte. Last year's model cost $127,250.

"I just had to send you this e-mail so I could thank you so much for providing us with such great service yesterday at my husband's funeral luncheon. Everything was just perfect. All of the staff were very warm and friendly, especially our servers, Shannon and Paul, who were so attentive, friendly and able. They really saw to it that everyone was taken care of and I feel they went above and beyond our expectations. Thanks so much to both of them.
Also thank-you to Matt George and Tim Summers. You made the planning so easy and Tim gave me great suggestions for the menu and room accommodations. I couldn't tell you how many guests thanked me for having them and they loved the food! It was the first time there for the majority of the guests and so many of them plan on returning in the future. I heard nothing but complimentary remarks form everyone."

The New York Chapter of GFO, hosted a lovely Bday Celebration for GFO Event Co-Ordinator Stacey Jackson. A group of 7 awesome ladies, met up at Stacey's house in Brooklyn for appetizers,
and then took a stroll to a nearby wine-bar, www.TheJakeWalk.com where they topped the night off with wine, and birthday cake!
The Philadelphia Chapter of GFO had a Sunday evening get-together complete with a private tarot reading for each attendee and optional Wii Games.
This event was hosted by Aston resident Dianne McQuillan and was a huge success.
The Philadelphia Chapter also hosted their first sevice-oriented GFO Event.
5 amazing ladies met at 7am on a Saturday morning to carpool to the North Philadelphia Location of Habitat For Humanity, where they volunteered as cashiers, and sales help for the Bi-Monthly HFH ReStore Program http://www.habitatphiladelphia.org/habitat-philadephia-restore/shop-restore
We are proud to say that we assisted in raising over $2300 for Habitat For Humanity at the ReStore Yard-Sale!
I am thrilled at the progress of GFO Events and the willingness of so many ladies to join forces and plan events. I have to also give acknowledgement to our Nashville Co-Ordinator Karissa Brocker, who had scheduled a GFO event at an Art Walk but unfortunately was rained out, but we are confident that the Nashville ladies will have a successful March event!
Plans are to get an interactive web-page/message board up and running soon, but for now please stay tuned to the facebook page for events and updates.
And as always, if there is an event that you think is a perfect GFO event, please reach out to us, and we will help you get it organized!

I Love You Anyway!

Barry McCarthy, Ph.D.
The most common problems facing American couples--of all age groups, straight or gay, married or unmarried--are inhibited sexual desire and discrepancy of sexual desire. Unfortunately, most "remedies," such as sharing sex fantasies, being verbally explicit during sex, and using porn videos, just make the problem worse, adding embarrassment and hopelessness to an unhappy situation. In this course, we'll discuss how committed couples can identify the sexual style that works best for them--complementary (roles are equal and flexible), traditional (one person initiates sex, the other intimacy), emotionally expressive (adventurous and erotic), and best friends (focusing on intimacy and spiritual partnership). We'll then explore in detail how to help couples find sexual strategies that are congruent with their own preferred style, work with the specific vulnerabilities of each style that can subvert sexual desire, and identify different modes of arousal suited to different couples.
Barry McCarthy, Ph.D., is a diplomate in clinical psychology and practices at the Washington Psychological Center. He's a professor of psychology at American University and author of Men's Sexual Health and Discovering Your Couple Sexual Style.
1. Demonstrate how to help a couple develop sexual-desire strategies that are congruent with their sexual style.
2. List specific vulnerabilities of each couple sexual style that can subvert sexual desire, and describe ways to confront these.
3. Identify for which type of couple partner-interaction arousal, self-entrancement arousal, or role-enactment arousal is most likely to enhance sexual desire.

Black and brown are two fabulous colors and have been considered as a must add in any woman's wardrobe. But for long, they have never been paired up. In fact, several fashion icons and designers believe that black and brown should never be mixed together. Although, of late this thought has been challenged, as several trendsetters and fashion savvy people have tried mixing the two colors. If you are among those trendy people who would love to mix black with brown, then check out these ideas for a fabulous combination.
1. Combine different textures
You can always mix black and brown with different textures and finishes. For instance, mix your black sweater skirt with a brown leather jacket and brown leather boots. Or wear a black silk blouse with brown jeans. You can also follow this rule with your make up. For this, use a dark black liner for your eyes and use a chocolate brown eye shadow. Smudge them for an ultimate sexy look. This would make you have a unique personality.
2. Shades
Since both black and brown are neutral colors, hence they can be easily mixed together. Make a rule that you have a lighter shade of brown color when you team it with black overalls or jeans. You can try leopard print as it is the classic mix-match between black and brown color. If you are ready to experiment and confident about the way you dress, then wear chocolate brown with black. But remember, this combination is difficult to wear with confidence and smile.
3. Accessorize
You can accessorize with both the colors. Wear brown belts on partly black jeans or have suede brown boots for your new black cardigan. Wear black earrings with a brown overalls or just have different shades of brown teamed up with your black dress. Try to wear a camel colored jacket with your black t-shirt or black overall or just go along with soft brown shoes with your black dress.
4. Brown on black and white
Black and white is one of the most famous combinations. If you have a pullover with black and white, then pair it white a nice plain brown jacket or break the fashion rule and go ahead with brown shoes with laces. Try a brown belt on the dress if you want to experiment more with the looks. You can also try and use tights or leggings in brown color with a black dress or vice versa.
5. Pairing solids and textures
Make sure that when you mix black and brown, you always mix a texture with a solid finish fabric. For instance, don't mix plaids or polka together. Instead, mix them with a solid color. This way you would make yourself look more chic, fashionable and comfortable.
You can also mix up your jewelry for more versatility within your brown and black mix. You can also try brown pumps with a black suit or add a black bag to a brown blazer. Mix and match and stay stylish.

Sizzling hot mini-kabobs served off the grill on little skewers are a mouth watering treat -- whether you are tapa-hopping in Madrid, strolling in the Santa Cruz barrio in Sevilla -- or better yet, when you are chatting with friends on your patio. All you need to do is coat small chunks of lamb or beef, skewer them, drizzle a little olive oil and pop them on the grille
What is the secret ingredient for classic Pinchitos? It is the seasoning from this box, prepared in the small town of Peligros in Granada, where they use the same formula of herbs and spices that their Moorish ancestors brought with them from Morocco and Tunisia.
This "Condimiento para Pinchitos" recipe is a complex blend of traditional herbs and spices passed from generation to generation of Andalucíans for nearly 1500 years! The age-old recipe contains a complex blend of salt, oregano, caraway, saffron, Indian curry cilantro, wild cumin, anise, garlic, cayenne, nutmeg and clove.
To make your own authentic Pinchitos at home, sprinkle extra virgin olive oil and vinegar on small chunks of pork, lamb, goat or beef. Uniformly coat your small chunks of meat with the Pinchitos seasoning. Set aside the meat to rest and marinate for about an hour while you prepare the charcoal fire.
When the seasoning is thoroughly absorbed, thread the seasoned meat on a skewer, and place on a hot grille or barbecue. Each box contains enough seasoning for about 5 lbs of meat. (less info)
Ingredientes: Sal, oregano, alcaravea, curcuma, ciliantro, cominos, pimienta, anis, ajo, cayena, nuez moscada y clavo.

DendroLight Middle Layer is an engineered solid wood material with a reduced weight (260-300 kg/m3), low swelling charachteristics (0.5%), and low glue content (3-4%). The engineered wood product can be machined with conventional tools, and can be decked or edged with any surface material.
Middle Layer is made by gluing and pressing thin layers of spruce, pine or aspen, which have been profiled by a proprietary process. The profiling process reduces the weight of the wood by 40% to as low as 250 kg/m3 and minimizes internal tensions of the wood. Middle Layer is available in panels of multiple dimensions and can be used in many applications including 3D curved panels.
DendroLight 3-Layer Panel is a solid wood panel using Middle Layer panel sandwiched between two deck layers of plywood or MDF. The characteristics of the Middle Layer bring a reduced weight, low swelling and low glue content to the 3-layer panel. Additionally, the structure avoids parallel fiber swelling on the outer layers and ensures stability of the surface. The 3-Layer Panels can be processed with conventional woodworking tools.

EDMONTON - Two not-for-profit agencies that together operate more than 1,000 long-term care beds in Alberta say their operations are financially strained and they will need to consider staffing or service reductions unless the government gives them more money.
The Shepherd's Care Foundation in Edmonton and Calgary-based Bethany Care Society say a new patient-based funding model from Alberta Health Services is insufficient to manage rising expenses.
"Our costs have been increasing the last five years, faster than any increase we're getting from AHS," John Pray, president of the Shepherd's Care Foundation, said Monday. "The bottom line; we actually lost money in our long-term care centres last year and we expect it won't be any better this year."
The 40-year-old foundation offers a range of accommodations, including two long-term care facilities for residents who need extensive help to live: Kensington Continuing Care, with 65 beds, and Mill Woods Care Centre, with 147 beds.
Pray said the foundation has been using a little of the money it receives for its other services, such as assisted-living and home care, to keep the long-term care operations intact. However, he said this practice can't continue, which means the agency will eventually have to consider laying off staff or reducing hours.
"We will try to get creative. We're in this for all the right reasons and I think we give great quality care. We'll just have to figure it out, but you can't continue year after year where your costs are more than your funding."
Bethany Care Society, which manages 800 long-term care beds around southern and central Alberta, said it is examining "scenarios" for handling the new funding model.
In an information bulletin sent out last Friday, president Greer Black said his organization at the effects on its six properties.
"We must continue to live within our resources. With this new model, we are acutely aware that we will need to make staffing changes and find creative new approaches to how we deliver care," Black said in the bulletin. "Our priority is to develop a model that will ensure safe care for residents, but we are also aware that this funding model will result in service reductions in some areas. Until we complete the site by site review, we will not have specific information to share."
The warning from the not-for-profits comes as AHS pushes ahead with the new funding model, which it says is designed to ensure equality for all long-term care residents, — no matter if their care is provided by a public institution, not-for-profit agency or for-profit corporation.
The system uses a formula to take into account the needs of each patient, calculate the health resources required, then allocate a standard funding amount to the care provider. The old system was considered more uneven, in that different long-term care operators each received a block of funding based on individual agreements with health authorities.
The change means that some funding will be redistributed among the various operators, depending on whether they have been receiving above or below the provincial average.
While those who were receiving less than their share have already been topped up, operators getting above average funding are now starting to see cuts.
Pray said one of the issues with the new approach is that it assigns money based on the provincial average cost of a health worker, but staff at many non-profit operations are longer-term employees who make more than average.
"As an example, the funding for a licensed practical nurse has historically been at the mid range of the scale because it's assumed that among your employees you've got some that have just started and some that have been there a long time," he said. "Our history is that in the last five years we have celebrated many 10, 15, 20-year employees."
In addition, non-profits typically offer more expensive benefits, including higher pension obligations, Pray said.
While a patient-based system may be a fair way to distribute the money, the biggest problem is the long-term care sector overall is underfunded, he said.
AHS, however, is warning facilities they will simply have to make adjustments to live within their means.
"The reality is our operators need to operate in a fiscally responsible way," said David O'Brien, senior vice-president of primary and community care. "There has to be some check on spending. We can't just continue to provide increased funding because costs went up."
He said Shepherd's Care and Bethany Care still have some time before the new funding model is fully implemented. Any cuts to contracted operators, both for-profit and non-for-profit, will begin April 1, but will be phased in over three years to give them time to adjust.
Centres operated by public"bodies — AHS, Carewest in Calgary, and Capital Care and Covenant Health in Edmonton — are expected to fully adhere to the new system by March 1.
Capital Care has already announced a $3-million cut that will see it shed 48 nursing positions. The agency plans to hire some additional health care aides, which are cheaper, to fill in the gaps.
Non-profits may have to consider a similar approach, O'Brien said.
"A lot of unionized sites tend to have a bit of a higher rate of pay. What that means is that you may have to immediately find ways to reduce your expenses in other ways," he said. "It's entirely possible that some sites may have had too many of one (health worker) classification and are now having to adjust to be more in line with what the care needs of the clients are."

Resident dances her way to Toronto for McDonald's commercial
Audessa Parafina didn�t realize making French fries at McDonald�s would help her in the pursuit of her ultimate dream to become a professional dancer.
The 15-year-old Airdrie resident and Cochrane McDonald�s crew member was chosen as one of seven staff members from across Canada to star as a dancing employee in a new national television advertisement for the fast-food restaurant chain.
Parafina said it was an amazing opportunity.
Not only did she get the chance to dance on television, she was also taught choreography by a resident judge from the reality television show So You Think You Can Dance Canada.
�It was a great experience working with Luther Brown,� Parafina said.
Parafina said the most valuable thing she learned from Brown was to have confidence while dancing.
Though she was the youngest of the seven cast members, who had an age range of 15 to 21, she said she got along well with the other dancers.
�Since we are all dancers, we all just clicked,� she said. �The cast was so nice. It was just like a great big family.�
At first she danced around the idea of auditioning for a spot on the cast, but her father, general manager of the Cochrane McDonald�s, thought she would be a perfect fit.
�My dad thought it would be a great idea since I do so much dancing,� she said.
She wasn�t nervous to send in her audition video performing street jazz at her practice studio because she has danced since she was about eight years old in various styles including hip hop, jazz, ballet and tap.
She also attends the Edge School in Springbank, which specializes in elite level dancing and athletics, has trained at the Airborne Dance Centre for two years, as well as taken part in Young Canadians dance performance at the Calgary Stampede for two years.
�I dance almost every day,� she said.
Despite her experience, Parafina said she felt nervous after being flown out to Toronto as one of 12 people selected for a live audition in front of a panel of McDonald�s executives.
The live auditions focused on employees� dancing abilities and narrowed down the 12 hopefuls to the seven managers and McDonald�s crew members that would comprise the cast for the commercial.
�It was in front of all the head people,� she said. �You don't really know what to expect.�
Parafina has worked at the Cochrane McDonald�s part-time for about six months. She said her job has been flexible with scheduling allowing her to concentrate on her dancing.
�They�re very understanding of my dance schedule,� she said.
During the first part of her week in Toronto, the cast learned its choreography for the routine and rehearsed.
Shooting the commercial took 12 hours and took place on the final day.
Parafina said the long day came as no surprise.
�They (filmers) knew it was going to take long,� she said, adding the commercial was shot from many angles.
Now that Parafina is back, she said she has received positive feedback from fellow staff and her friends.
She added she is anxious to view the finished product.
�I really want to see what it looks like,� Parafina said.
The McDonald�s commercial airs on Canadian television networks beginning this week.

Nice clean facility. The staff is excellent, and the breakfast was very nice unlike many other hotels you have a choice of several freshly prepared breakfast items i.e. omelet, pancakes, french toast etc. I particularly enjoyed the yogurt, fruit and granola combination. The beds were very comfortable and rooms were exquisite, they should certainly be a 4+ star hotel.

With the enormous amount of hammering that you put your body through during a day of riding lifts, it's nice that at least part of you can be comfortable. One Indsutries designed the Intel short to take some of the agony out of a solid day of gravity-assisted dirt-pounding. When you get home you'll still be completely wasted physically, but at least it won't hurt to sit down.
The One Industries Intel Short has a long, 13.5 inch inseam to fit nicely over your knee pads. Nobody will mistake you for a roadie when you're wearing the Intel. Four-way stretch ripstop polyester makes up the bulk of the body. This durable fabric won't bind while you ride and breathes well to keep you dry and comfortable. The rest of the Intel's shell is made up of mesh panels that promote airflow through the short to cool you off and remove water vapor.
The included chamois pulls moisture away from your skin to prevent chafing and irritation and to allow your body to regulate its temperature naturally. The chamois also provides padding to make long hours of singletrack feel less like you just lost a butt-kicking contest. Unlike many riding shorts, the Intel's chamois liner is removable. This has several benefits. One is that you can adjust the fit and look that you want because the short and chamois are seperate. You can also wear the short without the chamois liner as just a casual short, or the chamois with another short if your Intels are dirty.
The Intel Short has couple of other nice little touches that set it apart from a lot of other shorts. A handy included sunglass wipe can transform the world from a blurry mess to crystal clear without scratching your glasses. The compact pockets reduce bulk and irritation, and the handy media port helps you manage your headphone cord. If the fit isn't exactly spot-on-perfect from the store, the dual waist adjusters allow you to fine-tune the fit without having to wear a bulky belt.
The One Industries Intel Short comes in even sizes from 28 to 38 and is available in Noise Orange, Noise White, and Noise Black.

With a county supervisor like Dave Potter around, we almost don't need an Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments. He's chairman of the Board of Supervisors, the Fort Ord Reuse Authority (FORA) and the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.
In all, Potter sits on 18 government bodies and chairs eight. Which suggests that if you are satisified with the way local government has been handling things, if you like the status of water development in Monterey County, you probably should thank Potter.
But if you're in the considerably larger group that thinks the county, FORA and the water management district have dropped too many balls, you owe it to yourself to vote to put Marc Del Piero in Potter's spot on the Board of Supervisors.
A former supervisor himself and a serious student of Monterey County politics and governance, Del Piero, 59, is one of very few people with the knowledge to step right in and fix some of what ails local government.
A key point in Del Piero's favor is his exceptional experience in water law, having served seven years on the State Water Resources Control Board and as a lawyer for numerous water agencies. By far the biggest issue facing Monterey County is the looming state-ordered cutoff of pumping from the Carmel River, but our county government, largely under the leadership of Potter and fellow Supervisor Lou Calcagno, has made such a mess of things that we seem to be going backward in our search for an alternate supply.
For one thing, Del Piero is driven by the law. The failed desalination venture was done in by official blindness to conflict of interest laws, environmental quality regulations and water rights laws. Winking at the rules would end with Del Piero on board.
Potter would be a tough act to follow, of course. He knows just about everything there is to know about local affairs. He has represented the 5th District — Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Carmel, Big Sur and the Highway 68 corridor — for 16 years.
Del Piero clearly is up to the challenge, even if he falls short of being the perfect candidate. He can be cocky to the point of arrogance. His past involvement with developer Nader Agha's proposed desalination plant would complicate matters if Agha's renewed effort becomes viable. He and his family are active in business ventures to the point that conflicts certainly would arise.
But Del Piero's campaign already has united divergent elements and demonstrated his strengths. The lifelong Republican was recently endorsed by the Green Party as well as by the Young Professional Republicans and Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Though he was seen as development friendly when he was a supervisor years ago — 1981-93 — Del Piero has picked up considerable support from environmental groups that traditionally supported Potter. That's largely attributable to Potter's support for the proposed Monterey Downs horse-themed development and to the perception that he votes against developments only when his vote has become academic.
Potter has worked exceedingly hard and has had considerable successes in the past. It is time, however, for his most important position to be turned over to someone more capable of creating future successes.

Is anyone going to use the AC130 in MW3?
Like (1)
The AC130, high as it is, was and still is my favorite killstreak of all time. I've never laid hands on a nuke but you've got to admit - blowing the hell out of someone with that 105mm... whew it was a blast! (no pun intended)
Will you guys still try for it, with all the changes made to the game?
im going to try it along with all other pointstreaks to get a feel to them to see which ones i like the most
It will be pretty hard, considering there's no harriers for cheap kills and it was bumped up a kill... all the more challenging for us then!
AC-130 is boss. Even if they nerfed the hell out of all explosives in the game, there is no way you could make the AC-130 into, say, a single engine cessna with a front mounted machine gun. AC-130 will **** as it always has, and I will be the one controlling it.
Yup, i sure am, 1 kill isn't much of a difference and i hope the way they announced that someone had an ac-130 in air is kept the same. If you were on the enemy team while an ac-130 was called in, it could make you sh*t your pants.
P.S anyone else enjoy the way it was announced in MW2
I never liked it, so nah.
I'm not sure to be quite honest. I didn't really use the AC-130 that much. Just stuck to the Predator, Harrier and Pave Low combo back in MW2.
In MW3, I can see more players using the Reaper Drone over the AC-130 as it's a 9 poinstreak compared to a 12 pointstreak AC-130.
The Reaper sounds good, but considering it's just a Drone, it will probably be shot down as easily as a standard UAV? I can't see it lasting very long if that's the case tbh
Yea, I was going to mention that.
Since pointstreaks stack in the Assault Package, I can see "slayers" using this setup to get their AC-130:
Attack Helicopter (if it's better than the MW2 Attack Helicopter) or Predator Missile
From what I've read, the Reaper can hold 5 missiles which more than enough to get them to their AC-130.
(Correct me if I'm wrong if it doesn't hold 5 missiles, COD Wiki states that it holds 5 missiles)
As you said before, the Reaper most likely won't contain flares and could be shot down easily via Sam Turrets or Stingers/Javelins.
I think it holds 14 missiles, in that video you linked to look at the bottom right.
Also the UAV in MW2 could be shot down using bullets as well, took less than one magazine. I wonder if it will be the same in MW3, hope it is
Haha, my bad. Didn't notice it.
Definitely a beast of a pointstreak nevertheless.
Funny story but the first time I heard UAV's could be shot down by your assault rifle in MW2 was a couple of weeks ago watching a xCal commentary.
LOL ! 120 killstreak to get the controllable Reaper with tactical Geths airdrops !
^This. Just drop a bunch of geth AI inside predator missiles and a god damn reaper. 120 assault kill streak? XD Get a 60 KS with specialist and you become commander shepard, and is the only way to counter it?
LMAO that would be awesome and funny, definitely gonna tell IW and SH so they can team up with Bioware
Tweet it to fourzerotwo
Yes I will be camping for my AC-130, sorry I mean tactically hiding
Of course! Ground war....Predator....Reaper....AC130! I'd be scared if I was the other team... XD
There's a couple of new screenshots of the AC130 from Campaign here:
Notice on the 105mm it says "AMMO: 1:1" and on the 40mm it says "AMMO 1:12". Do you think the multiplayer AC130 will have limited ammo this time around? Afterall they have been talking a lot about rebalancing the killstreaks
That is a good idea. Of course if you get an AC-130 your going to bomb the **** outta someone but with limited ammo you actually have to use your ammo tacticaly
If that prevent my a$s from being spammed with 40mm and 105mm... then it's ok for me !
But let's be honest, an actual AC130 carries way more than one 105mm and way way more than thirteen 40mm...
I know, I know, you guys are gonna tell me "stfu it's a game !" and I'd say "yeah you're right !" so don't lose your time writing this ^^
I think there should be a few more bullets than that, at least 5 105mm and like 20 40mm
Yeah I'm gonna use it, but depending on which map, if I play on a basically indoor map then the answer is no.
if im play tdm i might use it but since i mostly play objective game i will be using the support package
AC1......what? i don't know what you mean, if you mean faggedy-ass plane then no, i've never used it as a killstreak.
I often just use the spy-plane-pred miss-harrier combo, i like it xD
Short answer: DAMN STRAIGHT
Reason: After being deployed to Afghan and getting to watch the AC130 videos while they were blowing their **** up, it was simply amazing. The similarities between the game and real life is very close. Only difference: in the real footage, the enemies were a whole lot clearer, and I had the satisfaction of knowing some terrorists were getting blown the **** up for real! Oh and of course how many bullets the AC130s carry. Along with all the different types of ammo. I loved seeing them set it to explode ~15 feet above the ground and hitting a group of terrorists running away in... terror. Smoke clears... nothing.... motionless... Just the way I like it.
I also play the game for fun, as it was meant to be played for. And the AC130 is the most fun killsteak by far.
Why would you use the 12 KS AC-130 when you can use the Reaper which gets more kills than the AC-130 and is only a 9 KS?
Who cares about kills? I believe I speak for most of us when I say you can't be more satisfied than to see that mighty 105mm bear down on some poor sap and just blow them to smitherenes. It's just a terrible thing to control, and that's what makes it fun.
I want both.
9 Kills by kills and/or objectives only? Unless you're going for a Predator, you're aiming a bit high, aren't you?

Pruning the forum database.
I'm now a PCLinuxOS convert and have abandon windows altogether. So now I have two hds I want to use the 1st for normal install and use the 2nd hd for video and music. My question is when I run the installer how do I choose the 2hd for my video's and music? I've been with pclos since the 93 version, and it just keeps getting better.Thanks in advance..............Al.
I would still prefer to do it after the install ....... for new users I might even suggest they disconnect the second drive with the valuable data on it before installing, to prevent any error or mishap.regards.

Not only does the fitted waist and flowing skirt flatter her slim shape, but that small peep hole adds just enough surprise, a far cry from the surprises she used to debut on the red carpet.

Originally an immigrant of Bavaria, Levi traveled westward in search of greater opportunities and fortune. An eager businessman of his time, he established a wholesale dry goods business simply dubbed 'Levi Strauss & Co.' It was through this outlet that he imported dry goods, including clothing, umbrellas and fabric. Business was blossoming with the rise of the gold rush, but it was in 1873 that Levi struck gold. Levi Strauss, along with co-creator Jacob Davis patented the process of adding rivets to pants for increased strength and durability. Their creation of the classic 'blue jean' can now be found in households and catwalks worldwide.
LS&Co exists today as one of the world's largest brand-name apparel marketers with sales in over 110 countries. The Levi's brand continues its legacy by consistently providing quality jeans and products, and by earning the trust of consumers, investors, employees and society as a whole through their responsible business practices. This principle of responsible commercial success is embedded in the company's 156-year history and continues to anchor the way LS&Co operates today.

Runs larger than every other demi curve skinny jean I have in the modern & low waist options. Had to size down. Zappos, please carry the smaller sizes in the 32 inch length. Great color & lighter weight, stretchy denim that's figure flattering and extremely comfortable. Wish Levi's hadn't put the whiskering at the tops of the thighs (or at least not in the pattern they chose). The lowest line curves dramatically up toward the crotch, which can give the illusion that the jeans are pulling in that area. Not flattering. Who wants their jeans to have the illusion of being unflatteringly tight across the upper thigh? Thankfully, the whiskering is barely visible on most pairs I've seen. (But was obvious on the larger pair I received from Zappos.)

Nice light color pair of jeans. It's not hard like some other Levi Demi Curve jeans, instead, it seems to have a little more stretch yet doesn't stretch out. These jeans are very comfy and show off your curves.

I love the fit and they are so soft, but the fading down the front of the leg is a lot more white than what is show in the picture. I did not like that so I had to return.

I bought these because they were a nice blue pair of Levi jeans that had no fading or whiskering on them. However they were very stiff when I first got them and didn't show off my curves because its stiffness squeezed everything in. Even when i washed then, they were still to stiff. going a size up would've made them to big. Thus I returned them.

Manchester superintendent tries to stem Hooksett defections
"This obvious and deliberate attempt to circumvent the Agreement must stop immediately as it is an insult to our intelligence and an intentional breach of the Agreement," Superintendent of Schools Thomas Brennan wrote.
It's the latest salvo in an increasingly bitter battle between the two districts over class sizes.
In December, Hooksett filed a breach of contract claim against the city, claiming that overcrowded classrooms qualified as a reason to let the town out of an agreement to send its high school students to Manchester schools.
In his letter, Brennan said it is the Hooksett School District that is in breach of contract, not Manchester.
Under the agreement between the two school districts, Brennan wrote, Hooksett is supposed to send all public high school students to Manchester except the "few" who petition to attend another school.
However, he said, nearly a third of Hooksett eighth-graders have been granted approval to attend other schools next year.
Earlier this month, the Hooksett School Board rejected a proposal from Manchester to cap class sizes at 30 and cancel most classes with fewer than 15 students, enrolling those students instead in on-line courses.
Hooksett board members and parents voiced concern that would slash Advanced Placement courses and other classes required for seniors to graduate.
In Friday's letter, Brennan wrote, "The Manchester Board of School Committee is disappointed with the manner in which the Hooksett School Board has forced our century-old relationship to reach this level of dispute."
Asked to comment, Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas said, "The letter speaks for itself."
Gatsas said Hooksett taxpayers could find themselves paying twice for their children's education. "If they do pay tuition to other schools, I think they're still going to be liable to pay tuition to us," he said.
Gatsas also said other school districts may be complicit in violating the Manchester-Hooksett contract. "The school districts that are courting them need to be careful that they're not interfering with our contract," he said. "If the Hooksett School District would like to remove their letter saying we're in breach, I think we'd like to have a conversation on how to maintain our 100-year relationship."
