BARCELONA (Reuters) - Quicksilver Lionel Messi hit a double as Barcelona beat Getafe 2-0 and qualified 6-0 on aggregate for the King's Cup quarter-finals but they lost Neymar to injury midway through the first half.
Messi and Neymar were returning to the starting lineup but the Brazil forward lasted less than 25 minutes as he twisted his ankle turning awkwardly by the touchline and was taken away on a stretcher.
It was Argentina captain Messi's first start since he injured his hamstring last November and he looked sharp in front of goal.
After slotting home his first in the run-up to halftime, he struck again after the break following a trademark mazy run when he hurdled several challenges and a dive by goal keeper Jordi Codina before tucking the ball into the net.
Xavi came on as a second-half substitute for a landmark 700th appearance for Barcelona.
Real Sociedad also progressed with a 1-0 win at Villarreal, having drawn 0-0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie.

The all-new Chevrolet Trax will debut in Paris this September.
Chevrolet to show small SUV at Paris
May 13, 2012
Chevrolet will debut the Trax, a small sport-utility vehicle, at the Paris motor show in September.
The Trax uses General Motors' global small platform, shared by vehicles such as the Chevrolet Sonic. The Trax has seating for five people.
But Chevrolet says the Trax is not expected to be sold in the U.S. market. It says the SUV is too close in size to the Equinox.
"We are happy with Equinox sales, so we'll watch and see," a Chevrolet spokesman said.
The Trax will launch in Mexico later this year. GM says the ute will be sold in markets around the world.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
A lot of my time lately has been spent getting ready for next week and I hope to see you there. First up SQL Rally.
On Wednesday, I will be doing a pre-con session on Database Design. I have already blogged about it here, and I am definitely excited about it. There are still seats available, and I will be giving away a few goodies including my new design book (though it won't yet be printed, I will get it to attendees), several of my, Tim Ford and Glenn Berry's DMV books from RedGate, and who know what else I might have in my bag (Apress is sending me a lot of swag to give away during the conference too).
Friday (last session of the conference), I will be presenting my new session entitled Sequences (What They Are and Are Not). This session is a great departure from my typical presentation. I typically do 95% slides, and sometimes 100% slides. In this presentation I currently have 17 slides, and that will only change to include a bit more contact information. I have a lot of code using sequences in multiple ways, including racing them against identities and different caching levels.
After the rally ends, I will hop in my yellow Focus and make the following delightful journey:
Assuming traffic is kind to me and Bing's time estimates are reasonably correct, a bit over 9 hours of driving and a night in a Hampton Inn to be named later and I should arrive at Birmingham's SQL Saturday event.
Sounds insane right? Well, yeah, it kinda does. But I wanted to make their event again this year, and it was just a couple of hours out of my way back to Nashville. You may also think it sound like a bit of vanity, and it isn't really. Assuming traffic is favorable, my hope is that I can arrive for the 2:00 sessions by Chris Price on Data Quality (or Kevin Boles on Column Store Indexes), Sven Aelterman's session on File Tables as well before my 4:30 session on Sequences. Obviously if traffic is bad it might turn out that I only make my own session, but even then I plan to hang out for the after event so it won't be a total loss.
In any case, hope to see you all in Dallas or Birmingham next week!

text: Ryan Bradley's large, intricately composed pastel paintings of attractive female faces are seductive. The delicate paintings are "unfixed," which means the pastel is left loose. This creates a surface similar to butterfly wings. If you touched the paintings, some would rub off onto your hands. I can't help but think there is some relationship between the fragility of the surface and the portraits' beauty. Like the really ripe moment when someone is at the tops of their looks, you know it can't last, but you can look away either.

Richard Callahan
Richard retired after 35 years as the Recreation and Parks Director for the City of Annapolis, Dick has been serving as a commissioner of the Housing Authority of Annapolis for the last 7 years promoting essential youth services for the many dysfunctional children living in public housing. He also served 4 years on the Washington College Athletic Hall of Fame Committee. A member of the Walden Golf Club, he enjoys golf, boating, traveling and staying in shape at the new Annapolis Recreation Fitness Center.
Richard is a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame. His citation is copied below:
Heralded as an outstanding basketball prospect when he arrived at Washington College, Dick Callahan played up to his promise in the cage sport, and added a fine lacrosse career.
In basketball he was not only a top offensive threat, scoring over 1,000 points, but he was a great defensive player. He guarded the opposition's leading offensive threat, where his height, quickness and anticipation were great strengths.
He was named to the All-Maryland and all Mason-Dixon Conference during the 1958-59 and 1959-60 seasons. He was named by his teammates most valuable player three straight years and was co-captain his junior and senior years.
He picked up lacrosse while at Washington College and his natural abilities sent him to the top. In 1958 he teamed with Joe Sieved and Mickey DiMaggio, both Hall of Fame members, to form Don Kelly's unforgettable "60 minute midfield." So named by Baltimore Sun Sports Editor Bill Tanton, they scored a total of 93 of the Shore ten's 126 goals during a 7-3 season that included a 16-to-6 thrashing of the University of Virginia.
Dick Callahan was named to the USILA All-American squad in 1958 and 1959 seasons he was also elected co-captain. An injury sidelined his senior season.
He was active in College life, serving as Senior Class president and was named to Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.
He has remained active in athletics and serves the City of Annapolis as Director of Parks and Recreation.

Midnight at the OASIS
Please note that contributed articles, blog entries, and comments posted on EDACafe.com are the views and opinion of the author and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the management and staff of Internet Business Systems and its subsidiary web-sites.
"GDS, and then GDSII, became the defacto standard because it worked, and was a fairly efficient format for designs of the size and complexity of the day, but most importantly because EVERY IC designer and foundry had a CALMA design system. We owned the market. What wasn't designed on Calma was designed on proprietary systems (very few), or people hand-cut rubylith (in the old, old days). It's like Microsoft Word or PDF are today, except that Calma wasn't evil.
- Rob Kuhling, Calma veteran
"Why does all great journalism happen between midnight and dawn?"
- Anon
Midnight at the OASIS
The GDSII data stream format files that go from design to manufacturing in the IC industry are becoming ponderous, and something has got to be done. That "something" is probably OASIS - Open Artwork System Interchange Standard - although not everyone is completely sold on the idea. This column is about OASIS and includes comments from three different companies who are supporting it.
Last year, Jack Horgan wrote a column here in
EDA Weekly on the new OASIS format based on a conversation with Tom Grebinski, CEO of OASIS Tooling. Consider today's column to be Chapter 2 of that discussion. This time, however, it's a roundtable that also includes Tracy Weed from Synopsys and Steffen Schulze from Mentor Graphics. Joe Basques of VitalcomPR set up this roundtable, which was supposed to be a conference call between the participants.
Unfortunately, at the last minute Steffen found himself stuck in a plane on the tarmac in Macao, unable to access a phone. Because of that, the conference call went forward without Steffen, and I composed a set of questions, after the fact, which were sent to him by e-mail; Tom and Tracy also received the questions. Steffen responded the next day in writing from Taipei; Tom Grebinski also submitted some additional comments.
Because of the way this roundtable discussion evolved, there's a certain skew-ed-ness to the conversation here. Tom and Tracy's comments are organic and spontaneous - they did not have a set of questions before the phone call. Steffen's comments have a more studied air. This presents a problem if you, the reader, conclude anything about the three companies, or the three participants, based on these differences - so, please don't. Please do, however, read this column to completion and conclude something about the current status of OASIS, and its future in the industry.
Things you probably already know
Calma - per Wikipedia, "Calma Company, based in Sunnyvale, California, was, between 1965 and 1988, a vendor of digitizers and minicomputer-based graphics systems targeted at the cartographic and electronic, mechanical and architectural design markets. The company's best known products, both targeted at the integrated circuit design market, were GDS, introduced in 1971, and GDS II, introduced in 1978. By the end of the 1970s, Calma systems were installed in virtually every major semiconductor manufacturing company."
Cal and Irma Hefte - Calma founders and, hence, the company's name
GDS, GDSII - "Graphic Data System" layout design computers, and stream formats for representing geometric shapes and text labels; today only the stream formats remain in use
1978 - Calma purchased by United Telecommunications
1980 - Calma sold to GE
1988 - Some parts of Calma sold to Valid

The Roundtable Discussion - OASIS Tooling & Synopsys
Peggy - Tom, please identify yourself and tell me what's wrong with GDSII that we need to go over to OASIS.
Tom - I'm Tom Grebinski and I'm CEO of OASIS Tooling. OASIS is a data format and next-generation replacement for GDS II stream. Our interest is in building OASIS infrastructures for companies who need it.
Peggy - What's wrong with GDSII?
Tom - There are file limitations in GDSII. With OASIS, we can compact data fields by as much as 10-to-50 times. [That's important] because there's a 32-bit implementation with GDSII that could possibly cause problems below 65 nanometers. It's related to a 32-bit spillover, and OASIS [has solved this].
Peggy - Why is this happening at 65 nanometers, and not 90 nanometers?
Tom - It has to do with data volume and how we represent data in design layout. As more and more data becomes required to express IC designs, the greater amount of that 32-bit capability is required. We're pushing things at 28 bits, but for many companies, they'll soon need 33 or 34-bit capability to build the next generation design. At 90 nanometers, the data files are at 20 or 30 gigabytes, but at 65 nanometers, they're at 80 gig. Down at 45 nanometers, they're even larger.
Peggy - Who else, besides you, is driving OASIS?
Tom - Intel, TI, Fujitsu, NEC, IBM, Mentor Graphics, of course those are just a few.
Peggy - Are these all your customers, and are there any companies who aren't your customers who aren't driving the process?
Tom - There's at least one company on my list, and that's NEC which is not a customer of ours, but is driving an aggressive OASIS effort. [Editor's note: Neither is Mentor a customer.] TI says they'll be OASIS-ready this year. At least one mask company is building commercial masks using OASIS, and IBM is also building commercial masks using OASIS.
Peggy - Tracy?
Tracy - I am with Synopsys now, but I've been in the industry working on this for a number of years. The [SEMI] P39-1105 OASIS standard was the outcome of a number of folks driving the process. We're part of that committee and have been working on defining the standard. Tom, the standard is still at 1.0?
Tom - Yes.
50 percent.

Since being introduced into the ever-growing crossover class of vehicles in 2001, the Hyundai Santa Fe has come a long way. The warranty is one of the best in the car business, period. The list of features is impressive for its low price point, however, the Santa Fe failed to keep up with the competition when considering all of the facets of performance.
A 2007 redesign remedied that situation and the Santa Fe is once again a worthy choice in the crowded and popular crossover category. Handling like a car and offering the space and features of an SUV made crossovers so intriguing that no maker would have a fleet without at least one entry in this class. Hyundai's entry does rather well.
The Hyundai Santa Fe won awards for its warranty and the vehicle itself. While it's reasonably priced, it's not lacking in value. Unlike many entries in the crossover class, this Hyundai has many options and choices that allow the buyer to further match the car to specific needs and goals. One can choose between performance and economy, or luxury and utilitarian savings.
With all of the awards and confidence inspiring backing from the maker, the Hyundai Santa Fe went from wannabe contender to one of the best in class in a relatively short period of time. This should lead consumers to believe that Hyundai will not only stand behind the Santa Fe, but it will also keep the platform relevant and high quality.
The Santa Fe is available in three trim levels: GLS, SE, and Limited. The GLS starts with 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails. The SE adds crossbars to the roof rails, 18-inch wheels, and automatic headlights. The Limited has a rearview camera. Chrome handles and a body-colored spoiler are optional on the higher trim packages.
The GLS and Limited are powered by a 2.4-liter four-cylinder that produces 175 horsepower and 169 lb-ft of torque. The GLS employs a six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard on the Limited and optional on the GLS. The SE packs a 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 276 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque, which is hooked up to a six-speed automatic. This system is optional on the Limited package. All-wheel drive is an option for either engine on any trim package.
The Santa Fe boasts an interior that is very comfortable and well-designed, especially for its class. The layout, material quality, and overall interior place it near the top of the midsized crossover class. This is one of the areas where Hyundai's crossover really shines. Driving or riding in the Santa Fe and enjoying the five-seat interior will help sell this car more than anything else.
The GLS offers a lot for a base trim: a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, rear privacy glass, satellite radio, Bluetooth, and USB audio jacks. The SE gets you cloth/leather upholstery, and a power driver seat. The Limited has the luxury appointments with leather upholstery, automatic climate control, heated seats, and an upgraded stereo. A navigation system is optional on any of the packages.
Like most cars in this class, the Santa Fe offers a safe ride for the family with a full complement of airbags. The anti-lock brakes and electronic stability system with traction control make for a well-mannered and secure ride.
While the performance doesn't put the Santa Fe at the top of its class, constant upgrades and re-designs make this Hyundai a respectable performer. Cornering, from a stop acceleration and ability to negotiate tight city driving, all-pass muster. This crossover isn't as out-right performance oriented as other choices in class, but it does well enough to handle just about everything that daily driving will throw at it.
The ride with the 18-inch wheels is firm enough to feel more truck-like than most SUV buyers will be prepared for, since vehicles of this class tend to handle more like cars.
Fuel economy is better than average for a midsize SUV. Expect about 20 mpg in the city and upwards of about 28 mpg, depending on engine configuration, on the highway.
There are some cosmetic changes to the front end while hill descent control is now standard. The 17-inch wheels have low-rolling resistance tires, and two new colors, Venetian Red and Cabo Bronze, were also added.

2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
Following the mild refresh that took place for 2010, there are only minor changes for 2011. Last year's new engines, the 2.4-liter four and 3.5-liter six, return. Also carrying over are the new wheels, front fascia, and new interior. The only changes: the GLS Premium Package is no longer available, and several color options have been updated.
2010 Hyundai Santa Fe

The 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe is one of the vehicles responsible for the boost in Hyundai's reputation.

2005 Hyundai Santa Fe

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe
2002 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe is a combination of car-like drivability, ride, steering, braking, and handling with a truck-like profile and seating height.
2001 Hyundai Santa Fe
The 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe has some excellent qualities that will make it suitable for some drivers, while other qualities make it a bit questionable.

PhilanthroBuy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 110 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
PhilanthroBuy is changing its name to DealKarma, and we need new logo that conveys our mission. We are an online collective buying website, similar to Groupon or Living Social; however, we differentiate ourselves by donating 10-50% of our profits to nonprofits. We focus in providing fabulous luxury deals to our customers, bringing new business in to our vendor partners, and supporting worthy charities.
Our target market is women aged 25-50, who are well educated, who make over $60,000 a year. That being said, we will sell to anyone who wants to buy, and we want our logo to be pleasing to all.
Visit our old site, PhilanthroBuy.org, to get the look and feel of what DealKarma.org will look like. We have already picked some of the colors that we want included in the logo (see below). Include other colors if you want; we are partial to orange or brown, but are open to whatever you come up with. Be creative; have fun!
We want to embody the idea that when people buy with us, not only are they getting a great deal, but that we give back to the community with every purchase made on our website.
We are looking for a clean logo, not too cutesy. Please make sure to work in the name: DealKarma. In addition, we would like a stand-alone graphic that people would recognize without the name. The main logo should have the text horizontal but the final product will need to include a 'square' version to be used on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Also, we'd like a copy of the logo both with and without the following tagline: great deals, great deeds. Lastly, we are not 100% on the tag line, so we would want the ability to change the tag line, so whoever gets awarded this job will be responsible for making that one change in the future at no further cost.
Technical Specs:
Only use colors that are supported with GIMP software
Include the following colors:
Green 94CE18
Blue 2E75A4
Do not use any copyrighted material
We are looking forward to seeing your work. Good luck!

23 Fiddle Mistakes to Avoid
Jun 07, 2013
Alan Jabbour on Henry Reed and the Grand Old Virginia Repertory
Feb 16, 2013
Irish fiddle legend Kevin Burke recently performed in Melbourne, Australia, and I was able to ask him some questions about his life as a professional player. Kevin is constantly touring and performing in Europe, Ireland, and the USA, either as a solo fiddler or with bands like Celtic Fiddle Festival.
Kevin was born in London of Irish parents and began violin lessons as a boy. He was taken along to Irish music sessions from a young age and musicians were often invited back to the Burke household. Kevin went on to play fiddle in the famed Irish group the Bothy Band, and since then he has gained worldwide recognition as a skilled concert performer and teacher of Irish fiddle.
You now do solo fiddle shows as well as band performances. Performing on stage alone for almost two hours must be a daunting task. When did you know this would work?
Well, I knew it was going to work for me because this is how I heard the music as a kid. I would go and hear Bobby Casey play. I would go and hear Brendan McGlinchey play. I generally didn't go and hear a band, although on some occasions I did. Music at our house or music at other people's houses would definitely be a guy playing on his own. I got used to hearing musicians playing on their own. About fifteen years ago I had been living and playing in America for a while and things were going pretty well, but I started to think that nearly all the people I play for have no idea that this is typically a solo music. Were they aware that it was a solo music tradition before the folk group became popular? If there were two or three musicians playing together, they would usually be playing in unison. They would all be playing the melody, there was no accompaniment.
How important are sessions for musical development?
I would say they were very important to me. How important are they to me now, less so. The sessions I went to had a very strong social scene. The players wouldn't be going specifically to play music. They would be going to have a few drinks, to meet their friends and hang out and what you did in that environment was play music. Sunday morning I used to go to lots of different sessions and I would always bring the fiddle. If the music wasn't there, I probably wouldn't have gone. I was going to sessions where there were great players. Not all of them were great but the good ones would bolster up the session. There were few bad players and no beginners. You practiced at home. You didn't go to the session as a novice. You had to kind of qualify before you were welcomed at the session, and to this day I would rarely play without being asked. In America I have seen lots of sessions with people who don't play very well and a lot of people—ten, fifteen, twenty people—and I think something like that can get a bit out of hand. It is not very enjoyable and you can't hear each other. There was one session I would go to fairly regularly and there were two guys, Raymond Roland on the accordion and Liam Farrell on banjo. Now Roger Sherlock would often join in and I would often join in, but Liam and Raymond were the core. What would usually happen was Paddy Taylor would play a few tunes on flute with them or he would be invited up to play a few tunes on his own, and then he would play a few tunes with the lads. Then I would be invited up to play a few tunes on my own, then a few tunes with the others. But it wasn't usually everyone who came into the pub just joined in, then you ended up with ten or fifteen people playing. Now that did happen once in awhile but it wasn't the norm. So the groups were fairly small—four or five—and very high quality playing and you wouldn't play unless you were asked in case you would interfere. If you weren't going to improve the session, you probably wouldn't join in. Often you would have to be convinced—the others would convince you, "No, it's better if you play, we think it would be better if you played with us."

- Google: No Plans For Google Voice For Windows Phone: If you were hoping Google Voice would eventually find its way to Windows Phone, prepare for disappointment, as Google has made it clear there are no plans to release Google Voice for Windows' mobile platform with the following statement: "We're focusing our Google Voice efforts on Android & iOS and don't have a plan to extend this to the Windows Phone. This may change if we start to see greater demand from Windows Phone users for Google Voice." [Neowin]
- Wireless Providers Side With Cops Over Users on Location Privacy: The largest wireless providers in the country are opposing California's new state bill "S.B. 1434," which states that a judge would have to approve requests for location tracking via cellular devices (except in certain emergency situations), and would be required to provide the amount of times location information has been disclosed and how many times police requests were rejected. Their reasoning? Requiring a warrant to track residents would possibly "create great confusion for wireless providers when responding to legitimate law enforcement requests." [CNET]
- Making Personal Cloud Storage for Windows Available Anywhere, With the New SkyDrive: Today, Microsoft unveiled a host of new features for the highly anticipated SkyDrive. Most notably, users can now view and manage their personal SkyDrive inside Windows Explorer via Windows 8, 7, or Vista, access files from a remote PC via the SkyDrive Windows app, and updates to various SkyDrive apps such as Windows phone and iOS devices. [Microsoft]
- Apple Sued Over All Touch-Based Products: FlatWorld, a company that owns Patent RE43, 318 (i.e. a patent described as a testing tool with a touch screen designed to allow children to manipulate and/or move objects on the screen and "hide" them behind other objects on-screen) is suing Apple on the grounds of patent infringement. The lawsuit lists every Apple device that incorporates a touch-screen, including the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, the Magic Mouse when used in combination with any Mac running OS X Snow Leopard V10.6.1 or later, and the Magic Trackpad when used with any Mac running OS X Snow Leopard v.10.6.4 or later. [TUAW]
- Microsoft Pulls Office for Mac 2011 Upgrade: Last Friday, Microsoft pulled its SP2 upgrade for Office for Mac 2011 from its upgrade servers. The reason? Bugs that have corrupted its Outlook database on various Macs. Microsoft has not stated when it plans to allows users to install SP2 from its automatic upgrade channel, but it has informed users that they can manually download it from their website if they wish to do so. [Macworld]
- Firefox Skirts Windows Security Feature to Make Silent Updates Happen: Firefox fans rejoice, as Firefox 12 will arrive tomorrow. While there are some noticeable changes, one thing Windows users will undoubtedly notice is that Firefox 12 will only prompt an UAC (User Account Control) the user starts Firefox 12. From then on, Firefox is allowed to silently upgrade in the background without prompting a UAC, and according to a February blog post this makes sense because, "...the first time that you accept the prompt you indicate that you put your trust in Firefox." [Computer World]

As the football-following world waits for the puff of white smoke that will let us all know whether Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be riding a white horse (a really big white horse) in to M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday to save his team for another batch (see what I did there?) of turnovers, the most specific report regarding his availability has emerged.
ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Roethlisberger has a 35-percent chance of playing.
Though we're not quite sure how anyone has arrived at that number, each team has to engage in a similar exercise every week. "Doubtful" means there's a 25-percent chance a player will play. "Questionable" connotes to a 50-50 coin flip. (Despite popular belief, "probable" doesn't mean 75 percent, but that there's a virtual certainty the player will be available for normal duty.)
If the number really is 35, the Steelers will have a hard time choosing between "doubtful" and "questionable" when the time comes to turn in the injury report. Maybe they'll say he's doubtionable.
Regardless of the label, we'll be shocked if he doesn't play. The notion that the dislocated rib threatens his aorta came from no one but Ben himself, and if he's in no danger of serious injury the question becomes whether a less-than-100-percent Roethlisberger is better than the alternative.
Based on what we saw last week in Cleveland, is it even a question?

BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, NEWTON — It's easy to dream big when you just pulled off a big event.
Brad Keselowski had barely finished smoking his tires in celebration after beating Kyle Busch in Saturday's U.S. Buy no prescription LEVAQUIN online, Cellular 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series event at Iowa Speedway before the talk began about the next big step — the 7/8-mile oval playing host to a Sprint Cup Series event.
Keselowski and third-place driver Jason Leffler endorsed it. Busch didn't quite go that far, LEVAQUIN canada, mexico, india, but mentioned the big crowd in his post-race remarks.
NASCAR officials, though, in talking to the media, weren't so kind, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION. LEVAQUIN gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, It's a dream, to be sure, the longest of longshots, generic LEVAQUIN.
Let's be honest, Herbal LEVAQUIN, Saturday's race was one of the best all season in any of NASCAR's two top series. There was passing, there was drama at the end, LEVAQUIN brand name, there was competition. Where can i order LEVAQUIN without prescription, That's something that's been lacking in Sprint Cup races, which anymore are nothing but single-file follow-the-leader parades. BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, And I'm sure NASCAR officials weren't pleased when several times during the weekend it was noted that Saturday's attendance was probably going to be bigger than the number of fans who showed up for the Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway a few weeks back.
Logistics weren't a problem, online buying LEVAQUIN. NASCAR fit 50 teams into the garage area. LEVAQUIN overnight, There were few reported traffic problems. Everybody got in and out.
So why won't there be a Sprint Cup race anytime soon, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION. There are plenty of reasons, where can i buy cheapest LEVAQUIN online.
1. LEVAQUIN recreational, There is no open date on NASCAR's calendar. The Sprint Cup schedule is too tight as it is now, with few off weekends, about LEVAQUIN. BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, Expanding the number of races would only tax teams that are already facing financial issues. Which leads us to ...
2. Where can i find LEVAQUIN online, No NASCAR track is going to lose one of its dates. Would NASCAR's schedule be better off without two races at some of the tracks it goes to now. Absolutely, LEVAQUIN forum.
Is that going to happen, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION. No way. LEVAQUIN interactions, Phoenix isn't going to lose one of its dates because it's a warm-weather venue, something NASCAR needs for late winter/early spring and late fall races. California isn't going to lose one of its two dates because NASCAR is determined to have two races there, LEVAQUIN street price, even though a.) they're boring races and b.) not well-attended. Online buy LEVAQUIN without a prescription, Does NASCAR need two races in New Hampshire. BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, No. Two Martinsville races. Short-track races are fun, purchase LEVAQUIN online, so yeah. LEVAQUIN no rx, Two races in Dover. A prime TV market. Two races in Michigan. Yes, to please the automakers NASCAR needs. Two races in Pocono, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION. Probably most drivers would rather not have one race there, LEVAQUIN results.
So why don't those tracks lose a date. Purchase LEVAQUIN for sale, Phoenix, Michigan, Martinsville and California are owned by International Speedway Corporation, order LEVAQUIN from mexican pharmacy, which is controlled by the France family. Buy cheap LEVAQUIN no rx, And who controls NASCAR. BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, The France family.
And why have two races in Pocono and two in Dover. Because what company is based in Pennsylvania, buy LEVAQUIN no prescription. Sunoco, LEVAQUIN no prescription, the official fuel of NASCAR, is based in Philadelphia, close to Dover and in the same state as Pocono, LEVAQUIN pharmacy.
It's about making sponsors happy.
3, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION. LEVAQUIN description, Location, location, location, buy cheap LEVAQUIN. Iowa isn't a major media market and doesn't have worldwide corporations to kick in big money. LEVAQUIN alternatives, That's strike one and strike two.
Also, put a Sprint Cup race in Iowa, LEVAQUIN coupon, and you might siphon some of the fan base for the races at Chicagoland and Kansas Speedway. BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION, And who owns those tracks. ISC.
Strike three.
4. They were here first. Let's say NASCAR does find an open date, BUY LEVAQUIN NO PRESCRIPTION.
Nationwide Series tracks Nashville and Kentucky would also be in line. And both have worked with NASCAR longer.
So the odds of Iowa Speedway getting a Sprint Cup race in the next few years aren't good.
For now, the best bet for the track is to continue building a strong relationship with NASCAR, and concentrate on staying on the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series schedule. As well, the track needs to continue building its relationship with the IndyCar Series. Keeping all three on the calendar makes Iowa Speedway a big player on the national auto racing scene.
No, there won't be the biggest date of all. But after only a few years, to have three prime racing dates is pretty good for a track that started from nothing just a few years ago.

The SUV, short for sport utility vehicle, is a versatile, utility vehicle ideal for transporting passengers, cargo or both. In many ways, SUVs are similar in design to station wagons, but are built on a truck chassis and can operate in a variety of different road and weather conditions.
About SUVs
SUVs offer comfort, command of the road, and ample interior space. Many models are available in either four- or all-wheel drive. During the 1990s, SUVs largely replaced the station wagons that had been popular with suburban families for decades. Typically, SUVs provide the same, if not greater, interior space as the average station wagon, while being higher off the ground and more capable of handling the road under adverse conditions.
Many of the early SUV type vehicles to hit the market were inspired by military vehicles like the Jeeps and Land Rovers used in World War II. The 1949 Willys Jeep wagon and the 1953 International Harvester Travelall are prime examples of early military-inspired SUVs.
In the 1960s, a whole slate of vehicles was released onto the market that could be regarded as early versions of the SUV. These included the 1960 Toyota Land Cruiser, the 1963 Jeep Wagoneer, the 1966 Ford Bronco, and the 1969 GMC Jimmy. In 1970, the Land Rover Range Rover, another SUV predecessor, was introduced in the U.K.
However, the age of the SUV officially dawned in 1984 with the release of the Jeep Cherokee XJ. Regarded by many experts as the first sport utility vehicle, the Cherokee was marketed as an alternative to station wagons that was so popular at the time. The Cherokee was four-wheel drive, but its size was much more manageable than its similar and larger counterparts such as the Jeep Wagoneer or the GMC Suburban.
The Cherokee's success greatly changed the dynamic of the truck and station wagon market while introducing the term "SUV" to the public. The Cherokee also started the SUV's popularity throughout the 1990s into the early 2000s. Automakers were particularly keen on SUVs because they were able to enjoy a much greater profit margin, which along with the public's demand for SUVs, led to more U.S. automakers to jump into the SUV market.
Nowadays just about everyone manufactures at least one SUV. Drivers love SUVs for their high ground clearance, spacious cabins and ample cargo space. Meanwhile, manufacturers enjoy making a profit of $10,000 or more per vehicle.
SUV Variations
SUV Brands
Some of the most historically popular SUV models that remain top sellers today include the Nissan Pathfinder, the Toyota 4Runner, the Chevrolet Tahoe, and the Ford Explorer. There have also been a number of more economical compact SUVs released in recent years including the Honda CR-V, the Toyota RAV4 SUV, and even hybrid SUVs like the Ford Escape. Currently popular luxury SUVs include the Cadillac Escalade, the Porsche Cayenne, the Volvo XC90, and the Audi Q7.
Who Drives SUVs?
SUV models such as the Kia Sorento, the Lexus GX, and the Acura RDX are very popular with suburban families and fill much the same role the family station wagon once did. Other types of SUVs such as the Subaru Forester and the Jeep Wrangler are especially well-suited for drivers who like to explore the great outdoors and frequently travel over rugged terrain. Of course, for drivers who can afford it and want to ride in style, a luxury SUV such as a Cadillac Escalade or a Porsche Cayenne can be the ideal. Luxury SUVs offer drivers comfort, performance, technology, style and a full complement of add-ons and extras.

Lara Croft makes triumphant return in 'Tomb Raider'
Lara Croft's comeback is now complete.
Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics breathe new life into one of video game's biggest action franchises with their reboot of Tomb Raider, a fantastic adventure and arguably one of this year's best games thus far.
Having built its reputation on a series of exciting console titles in the mid-'90s, Tomb Raider's recent record has been mixed. Although there have been some solid titles such as the downloadable Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, most of her appearances on current platforms have been mostly forgettable.
Enter 2013, where Crystal Dynamics resets the story of Lara Croft, now a 21-year-old fresh out of college in search of her first major archaeology expedition. The voyage ends badly when Lara's ship, the Endurance, wrecks near a mysterious island, leaving the crew stranded. From there, it's up to Lara to find an escape.
The revamped Lara Croft starts out with a far different persona compared to the bubbly, confident explorer features in previous titles. She's frightened and unsure of her ability to survive. After killing someone in an act of self defense, she appears on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
As the game progresses, players slowly watch her morph into a tough, resilient adventurer. She represents someone rarely seen in video games: a strong female figure more than capable of fighting her own battles.
In Tomb Raider, Lara starts out with her signature bow and arrow and a pistol. As she explores the island and expands her skillset, she adds more gear including a climbing axe, rope and bonus weapons. Before long, players are firing flame-tipped arrows and flinging dirt in an enemy's face to create diversions.
Scattered throughout the island are bonfires that serve as hubs for players to upgrade Lara's skills, earned through experience points, and weapons.
Enemies range from typical armed soldiers to behemoths wielding heavy armor. Lara fights off island wildlife periodically as well, such as dodging attacks from wolves.
Tomb Raider has drawn comparisons to Sony's stellar Uncharted franchise (funny considering the roles were reversed when Uncharted first launched). In some respects, both titles are similar. Lara and Uncharted hero Nathan Drake explore similar locations, have a thirst for exploration and archaeological discovery and a few elements combat appears to share the same traits.
But like its heroine, Tomb Raider stands just fine on its own. The tone is much darker, as Lara and her crew fight to survive. It's also a bit more grounded. Drake felt like a cross between Indiana Jones and John McClane from Die Hard, executing outrageous action sequences. Lara gets roped into similar scenarios, but she appears more human, and more vulnerable, which is why a stealthier approach to combat with bows and arrows works most effectively. When necessary, players can still fend off waves of foes with the assortment of firearms at Lara's disposal.
Tomb Raider also places a stronger emphasis on exploration. Players can search for hidden treasures and tombs using a fast-travel system tied to the bonfires. With new gear in hand, they can visit sections of the island previously closed off to Lara.
Exploration feels tense and perilous through the smart use of powerful camera perspectives. When Lara shimmys through a crevasse or wades through a pool of water with a low ceiling, the camera zooms in to create a claustrophobic atmosphere. As Lara dangles from a zipline, players see the camera capture the view of the massive drop beneath her feet. There's always a sense of drama when moving throughout the island.
Once players wrap the robust campaign, there's a solid multiplayer component with the standard fare such as Team Deathmatch. Players work as either survivors or stranded members of the island, customizing loadouts and adding perks to increase their odds at victory.
Tomb Raider marks a phenomenal rebound for the longstanding franchise, blending thrilling exploration with rewarding combat.

Chocolate Gelt Pecan Pie Bars
Without adieu, I would like to introduce you to Without Adornment, hosted by Bean. Without Adornment is a delicious recipe site with delicious photos. And all the delicious recipes just happen to be healthy and gluten-free (did I mention delicious?).
Bean is a project engineer when she is not baking up a storm and taking great photos. I enjoyed going through her recipes for something special to serve on the third Thursday in November, which is really special this year.
Due to a rare calendar alignment, Thanksgiving and Hanukkah will fall on the same day this year. Something that won't happen again for around 73,000 years (give or take). Actually, my family will be lighting our first Hanukkah candle and opening our first gifts the evening before Turkey Day, since a Jewish holiday always begins the evening before the date stated on a Western calendar (as per Genesis 1:5, "and the evening and the morning were the first day").
Since it's only around a month to go before Thansgivukkah (I really hate that name mash-up, but every other cutesy-poo combo is worse), I am trying to be efficient
|Pecan pie you can eat with your hands!
Because I want to serve the bars right after the turkey meal, they had to be made with non-dairy ingredients. Bean's vegan Pecan Pie Bars pretty much fit the bill. Nothing says Thanksgiving dessert like pecan pie. Even if it's in bar form.
But I wanted to make them a little more Hanukkah-y by tossing in chocolate gelt. Gelt is Yiddish for money. For centuries, the traditional gift children received for Hanukkah was a few coins. According to an article in the Forward, an American company back in the1920s molded chocolate into thin wafers, then wrapped them in gold and silver foil to resemble coins. It was a big hit, becoming the new tradition which continues to this day.
Most chocolate gelt available is of the dairy persuasion, probably because children prefer it. Parve (non-dairy) gelt is a little more difficult to obtain (i.e., wasn't stocked at the local supermarket yet) so I used the store brand of non-dairy semi-sweet chips (which were very good to eat straight from the bag, by the way). As a bonus, I saved several steps by not having to peel off all those foil wrappers, clean out all that chocolate that always gets caught underneath my nails while peeling off all those foil wrappers, then stand there chopping all that chocolate to bits. But to keep it Chanukah-ish, gelt stays in the recipe name. Sue me.
I omitted the flax seed because I don't use flaxseed. Although there are authoritative clinical studies that show ground flaxseed may inhibit breast cancer, other authoritative clinical studies show the complete opposite. As a result, most authoritative web sites (such as Dana-Farber (http://www.dana-farber.org/) and the Mayo Clinic (http://www.mayoclinic.com) recommend that estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer survivors avoid flaxseed, or consume in moderation (note—this does not apply to flaxseed oil). To compensate for the lack of flax, I doubled the amount of tapioca starch. The bars turns out a little soft, but no one minded one little bit.
|Flavor is larger than appears.
I don't have agave syrup in my pantry so I used corn syrup, which is what goes into my pecan pie anyway. The label on the bottle states that it does not contain any HFCS cooties. But if the idea of using syrup of corn makes you gasp for breath, use agave instead. Or extra honey.
Wasn't sure if the few minutes tapioca-"milk" mixture soak was for the tapioca's or flaxseeds' benefit, but since the honey mixture needed a few more minutes of cooling down anyway, I left the soak in.
I brought the whole batch to my local Hadassah chapter's annual potluck. By the end of dessert, only one tiny piece was left. Which shows how great these bars are.
I am so glad you were my Secret Recipe Club blog this month. Thank you, Bean!
Chocolate Gelt Pecan Pie Bars
Adapted from: Without Adornment
Makes about a dozen bars, or around 24 squares (if bringing to a Hadassah meeting)
Shortbread Crust:
baking spray
2 cups almond flour
4 Tbl. (1/2 stick) margarine, melted
2 Tbl. olive oil
2 Tbl. honey (light or dark) or agave nectar
pinch of table salt
Pecan Filling
1-3/4 cup roughly chopped or broken pecan halves
A few pinches of table salt
1/3 cup light or dark corn syrup or honey
2 Tbl. honey
3 Tbl. margarine, cut up
1 Tbl. vanilla extract
1 tsp. tapioca starch
2 Tbl. rice (or almond) milk
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
To make crust, preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8×8″ pan with parchment paper; lightly grease the parchment with baking spray. Set aside.
Mix remaing shortbread ingredients in a medium sized bowl until combined.
Press into prepared pan. No need to be gentle because almond flour does not contain gluten to toughen the short dough.
|No need to be very neat, either.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust barely starts to turn brown.
|... because the crust will be hidden by the pecan mixture.
Remove from oven; place pan on cooling rack; allow to cool completely.
Arrange pecans in a single layer in a baking pan and toast in 350F oven for about 5 – 8 minutes or until they just start to brown and become fragrant. To avoid burning (the pecans, not you), remove pecans from oven when you think they need "just another minute" because they will continue to toast and possibly burn from residual heat. Remove from oven (leave oven on) and immediately sprinkle pecans with salt. Transfer to a heat-resistant dish and set aside.
In a 2-quart saucepot whisk together the margarine, corn syrup and honey.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes, whisking frequently. Be careful … the mixture will be napalm hot! Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract (might boil up a tad, then subside). Set aside to cool.
While everything cools, in a small bowl whisk together the tapioca starch and rice (or almond) milk. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk into the syrup mixture until smooth. Gently stir in the chopped pecans and chocolate chips until moistened. Pour mixture onto the cooled shortbread; use a spatula to distribute evenly.
Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until the filling begins to set and loses its shine. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. When cooled to room temperature, place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour before cutting into bars or squares.
Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge up to 5 days.
