I am told that I'll turn up quite a bit tomorrow night in Bret Baier's special documentary "Behind Obama's Green Agenda," airing on Fox News at 9 pm eastern time. I was interviewed at length for the story, though I don't turn up in the trailer. (Bjorn Lomborg does, though, so you can expect screeches from the greenies.)
I may well miss it: I'm heading back to Bozeman, Montana, tomorrow for another small, (mostly) off-the-record conference at PERC along with Matt Ridley, Charles Mann, Emma Maris, and Dan Botkin, among others. I expect I'll have some public dispatches to make from the proceedings, which I expect to be very interesting and unconventional.

Michael Vick says he will not be bullied into seclusion after receiving serious death threats -- and vows to continue working with community service organizations in the wake of the scare.
TMZ has learned ... Vick -- who cancelled his book tour after "credible threats" were called in to several Barnes & Noble stores across the country -- says he refuses to let his haters control his life.
Vick's rep tells us ... "Regardless of the past threats, he has millions of fans around the world and has been receiving countless messages of support. He will continue to keep an active schedule working with charities."
Mike will continue to work with the Team Freedom Outreach (recreation and visitation programs for youth detention centers) and the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization. We're told Mike has security measures in place in case more threats are made and plans on giving cops a heads up before he visits the centers.
"Mike is committed to helping make his community a better place," Vick's rep says ... adding, "[he] is determined to continue his work with charity and helping others."

|Nigerian Muslim Riot Leaves 4 Dead, Church Burnt
|[An Nahar] A mispronunciation taken to be blasphemous in Nigeria's north sparked a riot by Moslem youths Thursday, leaving four people dead as well as a church and shops burnt, police and residents said.
"What happened in (the town of) Bichi was misinformation," Kano state police chief Ibrahim Idris told news hounds. "Rumors went round that someone blasphemed the Prophet and there was a breakdown of law and order."
Residents reported four people dead along with the church and Christian-owned shops burnt. Soldiers and coppers deployed in the town.
The riot came on the same day that former British prime minister Tony Blair and the incoming spiritual head of the world's Anglicans Justin Welby launched an initiative in the Nigerian capital Abuja aimed at Moslem-Christian reconciliation.
According to Idris, a Christian tailor mispronounced the name of a dress while chatting with his Moslem neighbor in Hausa, the major language spoken in the north, changing the meaning to 'the Prophet has come to the market'.
Idris however denied anyone was killed, though residents spoke of the deaths. Bichi is located some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from Kano, the largest city in Nigeria's mainly Moslem north.
"Four Igbos were killed in the attacks. One of them was thrown into a ditch near my house," one resident said, referring to a mainly Christian ethnic group.
"Scores of shops owned by Christians and a church were burnt by a large mob of Moslem youth who set bonfires on the road and disrupted traffic."
Another resident said he saw four dead bodies "hacked with machetes by the rioters".
A nurse at the Bichi General Hospital said the tailor who was severely beaten by the mob had been evacuated to Kano for treatment.

at Warwick Arts Centre, Thursday 27th October 2011
Written for www.StageWon.co.uk
"We are all scattered stardust". This is perhaps one of the most beautiful lines I've heard on stage in the past year. It encompasses perfectly what Sound&Fury's stunning production of Going Dark is trying to say; that nothing is ever simply as it seems. Tom Espiner and Hattie Naylor, the co-creators and writers, use both emotion and science to make us question who we are and how we view the world around us. A simple monologue about space mingled with scenes between father and son creates an intellectually challenging and emotionally engaging night out.
When John Mackay enters the improvised studio space, he asks us to switch off our mobile phones for, during the show, there will be moments of complete darkness. We quickly realise this is said in character, as he welcomes us to his talk as curator of the planetarium, beginning a fascinating lecture on the cosmos. His talk continues for the next hour or so, but woven amongst this are scenes which show him being diagnosed with retinis pigmentosa. Discussions with the voice over of his child then show how he copes with this and reminds us of the importance of sight.
But it is the way in which this story is told which makes it so impressive. Just as in a real planetarium, images are projected onto a canopy to demonstrate points about constellations, while at other times this 'projection table' acts as a screen onto which images are displayed. It's a wholly original idea and one which plays with associations with and uses of light. From corners of the room comes a child's voice, playing with our imagination.
The production would be impossible without John Mackay's strong performance, however. He is father and scientist, full of knowledge about the cosmos, yet completely igorant about his declining sight. He can create a close relationship with the audience at one point, and switch immediately to an intimate scene with his son.
Going Dark is one of those shows which ticks all the boxes; a great script, strong performance and an ingenious mode of storytelling. It looks internally and externally, looking at how we view humanity from outside and how we view the universe from earth. Sound&Fury are certainly ones to watch.

There's a possible disconnect between Giants G.M. Jerry Reese and coach Tom Coughlin when it comes to the most controversial player in the 2013 draft pool.
Reese has said of the former Notre Dame linebacker that the Giants plan to "bring him in" at some point before the draft. Coughlin said Wednesday as part of his book tour that the Giants have concerns, unrelated to Te'o's fake dead male girlfriend.
"Just strictly football, strictly evaluating — I don't really know the player other than looking at him on tape," Coughlin said on NBCSN's The Crossover, via the New York Daily News. "We didn't interview him in Indianapolis. But he didn't play well in the national championship game."
Teams are notoriously circumspect when it comes to their draft plans, interviewing players in which they have no interest and snubbing those they covet.
When it comes to Te'o and the Giants, we'll know the truth if/when the Te'o is on the board at No. 19 and the Giants do/don't put his name on the card.
Coughlin says he won't be surprised if Te'o remains available. The team's broader objective for this draft and every draft is to ensure that, whatever the Giants do, their competitors are surprised.

Snow, white-out conditions, rain, freezing rain, sleet, temps in the teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, fog ... and that was just in one week. We're a resilient bunch in the Midwest, don't you think?
I'm tickled to death about the transition to Daylight Saving Time. That extra hour of daylight always warms my soul, even if the temperature outside isn't cooperating. I'm ready for spring, and the daffodils poking their heads through the snow in my backyard agree with me! How 'bout you?
I'd like to give a huge pat on the back to the Princeton Fire Department and the other area fire departments who provided mutual aid during the fire at Habanero's on Princeton's south end business district. As you know, any fire can be devastating, and one along a well-populated area like on Main Street could have overtaken many of the other businesses we've also come to appreciate.
Sometimes, I think we take these departments for granted — assuming they'll be there to do what they do best. While our area firefighters and EMTs are, no doubt, some of the best around, I just think situations like these show us how lucky we are to have these well-trained and highly-qualified individuals working for all of us. If you see these folks out and about, please give them a well-deserved pat on the back.
I've noticed several area schools are gearing up for their spring plays, musical productions and other events. I hope you'll be able to attend some of these activities. I know the students work very hard to produce great shows, concerts, etc. I don't know about you, but I always leave a school event feeling good about the young people in Bureau County.

Samsung hosting fall Devevelopers Conference in San Francisco
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Cell Phones, Corporate News, Software
It appears that Samsung is prepping for its first annual Samsung Developers Conference boasting a "cross-product, cross platform" event on October 27-29 in San Francisco. Perhaps, Samsung is shifting gears by lessening its dependence on Google's Android mobile operating system and blurring the lines of its long line portfolio of successful products with developers. The South Korean conglomerate has been working on different mobile OS like Linux based Bada and Intel processor based Tizen, which is a spin-off the abandoned Meego OS project by Nokia. Samsung promises more information to follow leading up to the event. Samsung and Google have had major successes as partners but, in the recent acquisition of Motorola, something that Google previously stated it wouldn't do and Samsung focusing on diminishing Google presence from its products have shown the relation is more stressed than first perceived.

I wonder if there is magic in the air lately. Perhaps it's just in my mind – but I'm doubtful that I'm the only one who has been sprinkled by a touch of fairy dust. Admittedly, I've been a devotee of Once Upon A Time, and have found myself hooked on Grimm. But I think I'm probably not the only one, or two separate movie studios wouldn't be venturing into Snow White's world.
But that's okay, I've always been a fan of the Fairy Tale. What's not to love? Good always triumphs over evil, the guy always get the girl, vanquishing evil along the way, and you can't help but feel good at the end result. I'm sure that you are wondering where I'm going with this. Or maybe not, but I'm going to tell you anyhow. You see, I've been suffering some insomnia the past few nights, and last night to try and fight it I queued up Tangled and joined along as Rapunzel journeyed through the outside world. Of course, it was sitting right there in my favorites pile right next to Beauty and the Beast, and I could probably recite either show from memory, I've seen them that many times.
But as my sleep addled brain continued to work, and Tangled played on, I started to wonder what it is about the fairy tale that draws in so many people.
Is it the happy ending? Is that what we all ultimately all yearn for? Happily ever after? I mean, obviously the thought has merit and people buy into it, as Disney's been selling it for almost a century. But is that really all it is or is there something more about the fairy tale that makes little girls, grown women and Julia Roberts playing a hooker dream of being Cinderella?
At first I wondered if it was the escape from reality that makes fairy tales so tantalizing, but the more I thought about it the more I felt that wasn't really true. I mean, sure, wouldn't it be divine if everyone had a Prince Charming that would ride up and sweep them away from life's troubles – I mean even Pretty Woman grasps at this desire. But I wonder if the draw isn't more the thought that evil can be conquered and overcome, and that's something that we subconsciously cling to as we navigate our lives.
I'll admit that as I lie in bed watching Tangled last night I was looking for…something. I'd had a long day. I felt pretty beat up on, and good lord is that high road exhausting. But why is it that when I'm feeling a bit weary, my go to is always some version of the fairy tale? Is it because I want Prince Charming to sweep me away and tell me that all of my problems have been solved?
As we watched this week's episode of Once Upon A Time, I couldn't shut up at how deplorable I found the Mayor/Evil Queen. Brade advised me "You aren't supposed to like her", to which I naturally responded "well, good! Because I don't!". But the bad guy is what drives most fairy tales, when you think about it. Without that evil antagonist, there would be no princess in need of rescue, no realm to save, no children to free from the gingerbread house.
And you know, not only do the bad guys get the best songs, but it's also very easy to incorporate the people in your life who you dislike or struggle with into those positions. It's not a big stretch of anyone's imagination to cast manipulative, difficult people into those roles. And in a way, I suppose it's a little cathartic – because in the end the bad guy always gets his. And in a world where "good" is keeping your head up and walking the high road and "evil" is hitting below the belt, I suppose it feels good to think that what goes around comes around and think that good always triumphs. Even if that isn't always true.
Perhaps in looking at this brain dump, my inner-child is screaming to get out, or maybe I just never grew up. And I will admit that if a complete stranger rode up to me and grabbed me, even if he was my Prince Charming, I'd probably mace him, not burst out into song. But in the end, don't we all desire (and can't we all see) a little bit of the fairy tale in our lives?

HOW-TO Men's Core Cutting: The Crop, The Disconnect and The Fade
There are unlimited possibilities for men's hair fashion, says Wayne Grund, founder of Surface, all that originate from three core hair cuts: The Crop, The Disconnect and The Fade. In this video, Grund provides you with the steps and principles of how to achieve each of these styles. Once you learn how to master them, then you can modify, exaggerate and combine them to create any men's hair design. Before you tackle any of the cuts show in this video, make sure you have a shear, clipper, razor, blender and comb.
Grund's Three Core Principles:
1. Cut with your end result in mind.
2. Short hair pushes long hair away.
3. Cut directionally.

I'm sure you've seen this recent image from Elle Decor or via blog-land..I LOVE this dining room and have been contemplating what I want to do for dining chairs in my home. Louis XVI style dining chairs have been all the rage for a few years now, but I'm still drawn to their classic lines and clean style, they virtually work with almost any "look"..this photo pretty much sealed the deal for me last week. {all of these photos did actually} Ballard Design has a similar style available in a white finish, for a great price. I'm going to cover them in a parrot green linen {see color below}! Another decision off my list - check.
How can you forget this fabulous shoot of Katie Lee Joel's house in Domino? Love the look and the chairs of course.

Residents who lost town board prayer challenge before Supreme Court heartened by debate
GREECE, N.Y. – Two upstate New York women who challenged their town board's pre-meeting prayers before the nation's highest court said Tuesday their disappointment in losing is softened by the dialogue the case has inspired.
A day after the U.S. Supreme Court's narrow decision upholding the practice of reciting Christian prayers at the start of Greece Town Board meetings, Linda Stephens and Susan Galloway said they would continue to push the board to be more inclusive and hoped to see atheists among those leading the traditional moment of prayer that follows the Pledge of Allegiance.
"I didn't do this since 2007 to just fold may hands and say, 'oh well,'" Galloway told The Associated Press.
Both residents said they are happy to see the debate their case has generated around the country, where it has been a top news story, generated thousands of online comments and inspired a contest by the Freedom From Religion Foundation to recognize the best secular "invocations" delivered at government meetings.
"People who never thought about this subject are suddenly thinking about it one way or another," Stephens said.
Stephens, an atheist, and Galloway, who is Jewish, brought the case after complaining that the Christian prayers at town board meetings made them uncomfortable. Every meeting from 1999 through 2007 had been opened with a Christian-oriented invocation.
Both women said they received hate mail for raising the issue and were subject to public scorn, especially early on: Stephens found her uprooted mailbox on top of her car one morning, and part of a fire hydrant submerged in her swimming pool.
"Even among the Supreme Court it brought up an awful lot of emotion," Galloway said, noting the 5-4 split among justices that was nearly along religious lines. The five justices in the majority decision are Catholic, while three of the four in the minority are Jewish.
"I think the Supreme Court justices who are of a minority faith understood where we were coming from and agreed with us," Galloway said.
The majority opinion declared the prayers in line with long national traditions and said the content is not significant as long as the prayers do not denigrate non-Christians or try to win converts. The town argued persons of any faith were welcome to give the invocation.
Hours after the decision Monday, the town board convened for a previously scheduled meeting, pausing for a prayer before taking up business.
"Thank you Lord, for being our source of guidance today," the Rev. Peter Enyan-Boadu of St. John the Evangelist Church said.
Stephens said a member of the atheist community already has volunteered for a turn at the podium to lead a future invocation like one delivered at the Arizona House of Representatives by a member last year. That message, she said, was "an appeal to reason instead of an appeal to God" — even though critics called for a do-over the next day.
Greece Supervisor William Reilich said the significance of the decision extends beyond the town's borders.
"It's freedom of speech," he said. "It's a reaffirming of what our country was founded on."

Discussion of digital publishing models and case studies
Jim Church noted that e-books are not "huge" in libraries. Giving away research with low-revenue potential, such as the Occasional Papers, offers GODORT an opportunity to get its work out where it can be appreciated. Fee-based digital publishing requires technology that the round table doesn't have and which ALA is beginning to get a handle on. While ALA appears to be encouraging production of e-journals, it's not clear how well ALA Editions is positioned to administer e-books so the chair will contact them to find out what GODORT's options are.
Old Business
GODORT Occasional Papers
Two papers were published last summer; two submissions have been submitted and will be evaluated by the end of this month. One is a guide to the American Community Survey and the other is "1957 Crisis at Central High: An Annotated Bibliography of Government Publications" about the resistance to court-ordered racial integration which resulted in federal action in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1957. The editorial board has not fully reviewed these submissions.
GODORT Oral Histories
Tanya Finchum started the project and volunteered to work with it through 2010. Cass Hartnett volunteered to coordinate the project for a few years. The Committee should designate a coordinator and four additional members to work on this project before the Annual conference and draft language for a position in the PPM.
GODORT Logo Contest
The Web Managers were judges in the GODORT logo contest and awarded no prize. The Publications Committee wants to explore other options to have a clean logo as 2012 will be the fortieth anniversary of GODORT's founding. Susan Bucks volunteered to speak with a graphic artist at her institution to see how much work would be involved in preparing the current logo as a scalable vector-based file.
ALA Connect
All the members have access. It was noted as being useful and doesn't require login if one doesn't log out. The chair encourages all members of the committee to contribute to the committee's work using this tool.
Serial Set book proposal
Aimee Quinn submitted information to the chair regarding this proposal. She reported that publishers indicated a preference for a book with a single author/voice throughout over many chapters on different topics with different voices. It was noted that this proposal was funded through a GODORT award and the committee should keep up with its status.
New Business
Recruitment of a new GODORT Web Administrator
The initial term of office is three years and may be renewed. Starr Hoffman will complete her term at the end of the Annual Conference. The committee will work with the GODORT Web Managers' group to develop a job description and advertise for candidates.
Updated History
With 2012 being the fortieth anniversary of GODORT's founding, there is interest in the possible updating of the History of the Government Documents Roundtable (GODORT) of the American Library Association 1972-2002. The works' copyright is apparently with GODORT and one of the previous authors has indicated that newer members should be writing any update. The chair will contact Larry Romans regarding his possible interest in the project.
The committee adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
These minutes approved by acclimation, February 15, 2010.

Press Release
Man Sentenced to Serve 18 Years for Abusing Minor
July 12, 2013
On July 12, 2013, 20 year old Derek Barr was sentenced to serve 18 years in prison for sexually abusing a seven year old. Barr's conviction and sentence stem from an incident in September 2012. Barr entered the bedroom of a seven year old relative and molested her as she slept in her bed. The child reported the incident to her mother who found Barr in her home.
The child's mother immediately called 911 and Anchorage Police promptly responded. The Anchorage Police Crimes Against Children Unit, led by Detective Chris Thomas, investigated the crime. The Alaska State Crime Detection Laboratory conducted DNA analysis on evidence that linked Barr to the child.
When Barr is released from prison, he will be on probation for 10 years and will be required to register as a sex offender for 15 years.

FRITZ!Box 3490 Serwis - Baza wiedzy
AVM Content
Using wireless speakers in the FRITZ!Box home network
Wireless speakers are easy to set up and let you enjoy your music wherever you want. If your wireless speaker supports the WPS method (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can simply push a button to connect it to the FRITZ!Box's wireless network.
Right away you can listen to music with your wireless speaker. For example, you can play music from your smartphone in the FRITZ!Box wireless network directly over the wireless speaker.
If you copy your music collection to a USB storage device and connect it to the FRITZ!Box, you can then transmit your music directly from the FRITZ!Box to the speakers over wireless LAN. In addition to using your computer control music playback, you can also use your smartphone or tablet.
Example configuration in this guide
In this guide we show you how to configure a wireless speaker from Sony's SA line (for example SA-NS310, 410 or 510). These speakers support the WPS procedure as well as the Airplay protocol. This makes them easy to set up and suitable for use with Apple devices.
Requirements / Restrictions
- The wireless speaker must support the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) standard or be certified by the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance).
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Connecting the wireless speaker to the FRITZ!Box
Preparing the FRITZ!Box for WPS
The FRITZ!Box is already prepared for WPS in the factory settings. If you changed the FRITZ!Box's wireless settings, configure the following settings:
- Click "Wireless" ("WLAN") in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Security" in the "Wireless" ("WLAN") menu.
- Click on the "WPS Quick Connection" tab.
- Enable WPS.
- Select "Push-Button method (WPS-PBC, Push Button Configuration)" and click "Start WPS".
Establishing a wireless connection to the FRITZ!Box
- Plug in the power adapter of the wireless speaker.
- Push and hold the "WPS" button on the back of the wireless speaker for about 3 seconds until the "LINK" LED on the speaker starts to flash. Depending on the model, the LED will either be on the front or the back of the speaker.
- Push and hold the "WPS" button on the FRITZ!Box for about 1 second until its "WLAN" LED flashes.
Now the wireless speaker is connected to the FRITZ!Box and you can play music from your smartphone directly over the loudspeaker, for example. If you have an Android device, you can use FRITZ!App Media to do so, and if you have an iOS device, you can use Airplay.
2 Playing music from the FRITZ!Box Media Server on the wireless speaker
If you use the FRITZ!Box as a media server, you can access your central media collection from all devices in the home network. You can easily play the music files with your smartphone or tablet, for example, and then play them directly through the wireless speaker.
Setting up the FRITZ!Box as a Media Server
- Set up the FRITZ!Box as a Media Server.
Controlling music playback with an Android device
- Download FRITZ!App Media from the Google Play Store and install the app on your Android device.
- Start FRITZ!App Media.
- Select the AVM FRITZ!Mediaserver.
- Tap the music file you want to play.
- Press the menu key on the Android device and select the wireless speaker as the output device.
Now the music that you play with FRITZ!App Media is played through the wireless speaker.
Controlling music playback with an Apple iOS device
- On the iOS device, set up an app that can play files from media servers that comply with the UPnP AV standard. You can find suitable apps, for example VLC for Mobile or GoodPlayer, in the App Store.
Note:If you want to use Apple's Airplay to play the music through the wireless speaker, use an app that supports the UPnP AV standard as well as Airplay.

Kombinat-Typefounders : fonts : Realist Narrow : designInfo
Font Name: Realist Narrow · Designer ⇢ Martin Wenzel, 2011
Typeface DescriptionThe Realist super family of typefaces covers a lot of ground by giving the typographer the choice between two distinct styles in eight weights and three different widths.
Three Widths
Typical for a grotesque is the availability of an additional Wide version, while the humanist sans serifs tend to be more narrow. So it made much sense to draw three widths: Realist, RealistNarrow, as well as a RealistWide.
Eight Weights
The availability of a good amount of weights makes the designer's work so much easier. This is why Realist comes in eight weights: Thin, Light, SemiLight, Regular, Medium, Bold, ExtraBold and Black.
HistoryThe two distinct styles of the Realist super family of typefaces: Combining Grotesque and Humanist Traditions.
I'm an admirer of the effective simplicity of the humanist letterform construction and there are many type designs of that order that I admire greatly. The sans serif designs of that order though tend to be so much less sturdy compared to a typical Grotesque where the contrast emphazises the vertical elements, letters are constructed and drawn more symmetrically and letter shapes are less detailed often more closed. In short, more in line with the neoclassicist construction. I wanted to bring both traditions closer together by combining elements of both worlds. By choosing a typographic style, the user switches various letterforms and punctuation glyphs have a real impact on the overall look and feel of the typeface.

Adam Levine's sitcom gets the green light
An autobiographical TV comedy created by MAROON 5 star ADAM LEVINE has been picked up by network bosses at NBC in America.
The This Love singer, who is a star of the channel's The Voice, signed a one-year first-look development deal with executives earlier this year (13), and it appears his contract is about to reap rewards.
Levine and his longtime roommate Gene Hong have come up with a sitcom based on their lives together. The two old friends previously came up with an idea for a sitcom based in a karaoke bar two years ago (11) but the project didn't make it to a pilot episode.

After months of delays, construction has started on a new $45 million development at the site where the old Plaza Hotel in College Station was imploded last year.
The Northpoint Crossing project is a year behind schedule because of delays including financial problems.
The development will feature apartments, restaurants and retail.
We've called developer Woodridge Capital to get more details on the delays, but we do know that securing financing for the project took longer than expected.
In a month or two we'll start seeing the Northpoint Crossing luxury apartments come to life.
The dirt is finally moving at the corner of University Drive and Texas Avenue.
It's been nearly 10 months since the former 17-story Plaza Hotel came down with a crash to make way for something new.
The $45 million Northpoint Crossing will include 307 apartment units and 920 beds, and two parking garages.
The first floor will be 50,000 square feet of restaurants and retail.
Cherry Ruffino is a Realtor with Coldwell Banker United Realtors across the street and was glad to see the Plaza eyesore go down.
She is surprised by the delays.
"And so we were disappointed that nothing had happened yet, and the development down the road got ahead of us, and we didn't' think that that was going to happen," said Ruffino.
May 24th will mark a year since the Plaza came tumbling down. Redevelopment was supposed to start soon after that.
Some of those delays included securing financing, finding a contractor and staying within budget for developer Woodridge Capital.
Lance Simms is an Assistant Director of Planning and Development Services for College Station.
"We have an approved site plan in. We also have a development permit which allows them to start moving dirt which you may have noticed out there. We also have the building permits approved," Simms said.
"We're very excited about that," Cherry Ruffino added.
The first phase should open by summer of next year.
Utility work is scheduled to start in the coming weeks.
Phase two of the project will include an additional 300 apartments.
That should open in 2015.

2011 Chevrolet Malibu ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
A solid midsize sedan as good as Toyota and Honda.
The Chevrolet Malibu midsize sedan blends a smooth ride with responsive handling, a quiet interior, effective crash performance and noteworthy build quality. We think the Malibu stands up well against the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, the benchmarks for midsize sedans.
Malibu offers a choice of four-cylinder and V6 engines. A new fuel-saving 6-speed automatic transmission with TAPShift manual control is standard on all 2011 Malibu models. OnStar 9.0, the latest version with improved voice recognition, comes standard with six months of Directions and Connections service with Turn-by-Turn Navigation. Other upgrades for 2011 Malibu models include 17-inch bright aluminum wheels on the Malibu 1LT, and 18-inch Chrome Tech aluminum wheels for the Malibu 2LT V6.
Malibu offers value, with a lower purchase price, and good fuel economy: EPA City/Highway ratings of 22/33 mpg for the four-cylinder, 17/26 mpg for the V6.
The cabin is nicely designed, attractive, and everything is easy to operate, though there are some hard plastics that detract from an otherwise first-rate interior. The seats are very comfortable, with plenty of front-seat room. The back seats offer generous legroom. Trunk space is tight, however.
We found the Malibu pleasant to drive. It's smooth and comfortable, striking a nice balance between well-controlled handling and an even ride. It has with plenty of power when equipped with the V6.
Choosing among the best midsize sedans largely comes down to nitpicking, splitting hairs and personal preferences. The Camry and Accord may have an edge on resale value, but they're also likely to come with higher price tags. In any case, we don't see the gap between this Chevrolet and the imports that we used to see. Malibu, Camry and Accord, and the Ford Fusion are all superb midsize sedans. The Chevrolet Malibu was last redesigned for the 2008 model year.
The 2011 Chevrolet Malibu range includes the Malibu LS, Malibu LT, and Malibu LTZ. (The mild-hybrid model is no longer available.) The 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic are standard and come with electric power steering. A 3.6-liter V6 is optional and it comes with hydraulic power steering.
Malibu LS ($21,975) comes with air conditioning, cloth upholstery, power height-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar adjustment, cruise control, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, power windows, power mirrors, power locks, remote keyless entry, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo with XM satellite radio and auxiliary input jack, outside temperature display, automatic headlights, six months of OnStar 9.0 Directions and Connections service with Turn-by-Turn navigation, and P225/50R17 tires on steel wheels.
Malibu LT ($22,825) adds steering-wheel audio controls, ambient lighting, body-color mirrors, more bright trim, carpeted floor mats, new- for-2011 bright aluminum wheels, and a longer option list. Malibu 2LT ($25,235) makes more options available (including faux suede upholstery), and adds a standard bright exhaust tip and Chrome Tech wheels.
Malibu LTZ ($27,015) upgrades to automatic climate control, leather upholstery and steering wheel, eight-way power driver's seat, six-way power passenger's seat, heated front seats, heated power mirrors, auto-dimming inside mirror, iPod adapter, eight-speaker 210-watt stereo system, Bluetooth, remote engine starting, fog lights, a manual rear sunshade, clear-lens LED taillamps and P225/50R18 tires on alloy wheels.
Options include a power sunroof ($850), a dual-screen DVD rear entertainment system ($1,740), a 110-volt power outlet ($150), paint upgrades, and additional convenience features.
Safety features are comprehensive, with front, side and side-curtain airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, ABS with brake assist, and StabiliTrak electronic stability control with traction control.
The Malibu makes good use of its space, and also has an attractive wheels-at-the-corners look that is substantial, yet clean and crisp. A long wheelbase provides ample interior room for occupants and a smooth, quiet ride.
The body design is bold, long and sleek, with an especially appealing roofline that looks like it belongs on a luxury car. The bodysides are completely clean and uncluttered, and the twin round taillamps pay homage to the Corvette. The dual-port grille is a contemporary Chevrolet design cue, which gives the Malibu a distinctive look, and distinction is an important goal of the midsize sedan designer. Look closely and you'll see tiny bowtie emblems imbedded in the headlights.
The Malibu rides on a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars of varying diameters, depending on the model.
The Chevrolet Malibu cabin is beautifully done, with tight fits and no gaps. Everything is within arm's reach and easy to operate. The instruments are easy on the eyes.
The most noticeable interior feature of the Malibu, other than the roominess front and rear, is the dual-cowl dashboard and instrument panel layout inspired by vintage Corvettes. This design is brought into the 21st century with wood and metallic trim and a very pleasing blue-on-white instrumentation graphic treatment that's flooded with blue light at night.
Less noticeable are thoughtful features such as ambient lighting. A feature associated with expensive luxury cars, and recently popularized by Mercedes and BMW, ambient lighting helps the driver and front passenger find secondary controls and items around the center console. A cubby on top of the dash is convenient for smaller items and is a very useful feature.
Cloth, faux-suede and leather interior options are available. The standard interiors are monotone, but several two-tone interior combinations are available, including a dramatic black-and-saddle leather combination that's very attractive.
We found the leather seats in the Malibu LTZ quite comfortable. Piping in a contrasting tone dresses them up. The front bucket seats are somewhere between sumptuous and luscious in the way they look and the way they sit, and are very comfortable and supportive.
The long wheelbase affords each occupant plenty of room, and there is ample headroom and legroom in the rear compartment for six-foot-plus passengers. The backs of the front seats are dished out to add knee room. The rear seatbacks flip down to provide a pass-through to the trunk.
While the trunk has 15.1 cubic feet of cargo volume, the stylish rear pillars are pushed to the far back of the car, creating a small trunk opening that won't accept large boxes.
Cubby storage includes a dashtop storage bin, door cubbies, and seatback pockets. We've never cared for roll-up sliding covers on center consoles due to their ability to attract crumbs, dust and debris. Ambient lighting for the overhead console and door-pull pockets adds convenience.
Overall, the Malibu interior is attractive and comfortable. The quality of the interior materials is good. It doesn't bowl you over, nor does it reek of cheap plastic. We think the Malibu's interior compares well to the cabin of the Honda Accord. In fact, it may be more attractive, though the material on the steering wheel hub and the hard plastic on the lower dash aren't as nice. However, the Malibu has an attractive leather shift boot when the leather upholstery is chosen, and the Accord does not.
Every Malibu comes with satellite radio and the latest version of OnStar with Turn-by-Turn navigation. However, there's no GPS navigation system, nor is there a back-up camera. Chevrolet says many people prefer to use their portable GPS units and relatively few want to pay for an OEM navigation system. We've heard that view from respectable drivers, but we prefer in-dash units. We've found OnStar works well, however, and we encourage owners to try it.
Big knobs and buttons and an elegant design make operating the audio and climate functions easy. In fact, we found it easier and less confusing to make adjustments in the Malibu than in a comparably equipped (without navigation) Honda Accord. The Honda seemed less intuitive and convenient, the Chevrolet seemed more intuitive and convenient. Unlike the Accord, the Malibu has the audio controls at the top, which is better because people tend to fiddle with sound systems more than temperature controls.
Remote starting is available. This lets the driver start the car by pressing a button on the key fob from the comfort of the house on wintry mornings, allowing the car to warm up while the driver sits inside sipping coffee. That same feature can be used with air conditioning on sweltering summer afternoons.
Driving Impression
The suspension soaked up rough Mississippi farm roads with grace and competence, and kept the car straight and flat without a lot of pitching and body roll. On pockmarked Chicago streets, though, we did experience some jolts in the rear suspension, but they were pretty rough streets.
The steering is reasonably quick and precise, but without much real road feel. The steering wheel is a bit too large in diameter for our preferences; a smaller steering wheel would give a sportier feel.
The V6 is smooth and quiet and very pleasant, indeed. The thoroughly modern V6 has 252 horsepower and delivers performance that is good, if not sparkling. Most families will find no shortage of power or performance. With the V6, the 6-speed automatic is quick to shift, up and down, smooth, lurch-free and quiet.
With the V6 engine, the driveline exhibits some torque-steer at full throttle: Stand on the gas when turning at low speed, turning right from a stop sign, for example, and you'll feel a tug on the steering wheel.
The Ecotec 2.4-liter four-cylinder is not as sprightly as the four-cylinder engines offered by Honda or Nissan, lacking their torque. However, the Malibu's four-cylinder is aided greatly from having the 6-speed automatic.
The 6-speed automatic works well with the four-cylinder engine. Having six gears increases fuel economy and improves acceleration. Plus, it comes with GM's TAPshift manual shift control, controlled by rocker switch on shift knob, allowing drivers to shift down to a lower gear manually when planning to pass.
The four-cylinder engine comes with electric power steering, to save drag on the engine, which helps both fuel economy and performance, while the V6-powered models come with hydraulic power steering. A no-cost option makes the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine E85-compatible, meaning it can operate on either gasoline or a mixture that includes up to 85 percent ethanol.
The Chevrolet Malibu has the size, room, features and conveniences a family sedan needs. The rear seats are roomy. Fit and finish inside and out are world-class. We think the Malibu stands up well to the best in its class, including the Camry and Accord.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Jim McCraw filed this report after test driving Malibu models around Memphis and down into Mississippi; with Mitch McCullough reporting from Los Angeles, and Kirk Bell in Chicago.

To celebrate Bike Week Halfords have got some fantastic in-store offers just for you…
Take your bike along to your local Halfords store to receive a free bike check over.
Your Free Bike Check
Wind in your hair, a big grin on your face, that feeling of freedom; cycling is like nothing else. But just like other machines, bikes need check-ups every so often. Plenty of people aren't confident in checking their bike for wear and tear, but that's where we come in. Our trained bike mechanics can provide you with a free bike check to spot any problems before they develop into bigger ones. We'll check any bike, whether it's yours, your nan's or your child's; all bikes of any size and discipline are welcome. There's no need to book – just turn up with your bike.
What do we check?
With a Halfords' bike check we look at 5 areas:
· The handlebars
· The wheels, tyres, and hubs
· The drivetrain: the gears, chain, and bottom bracket
· The brakes
· The saddle
What happens?
We carry out what is called an M-check on the above areas, which includes assessing 15 different parts.
This will either confirm that your bike's good to go, or it will determine the level of service required to get your bike back into top condition.
If we spot a problem that requires a service, we'll need to book your bike in so it can be repaired by one of our pros. This shouldn't be too far in the future, but it depends on both the availability of parts and how booked up the store's diary is. Once you bring your bike back to us for its service, we'll safely store it for free both pre- and post-work.
20% off Bronze, Silver & Gold bike services at Halfords
Valid from 10th June – 18th June. Services must be booked in advance & booked by 18th June. Please call your local Halfords to book. Click here to find your local store.

The second day of action at the 2012 World Series of Poker had two events spread across the felts in Cannes, France. Event #1: €2,700 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em had moved forward to Day 2 with 50 players remaining, and Event #2: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em kicked off with Day 1a. It was a very exciting day of poker action that included the first breaking of a bubble for the series.
Event #1: €2,700 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em: Bonnet Leads Final Eight
Day 2 of Event #1: €2,700 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em finished late Saturday night. Just eight players are left standing at the end of the carnage and they'll return on Sunday for Day 3 to finish things out.
Leading the final eight is Yannick Bonnet with 476,000 in chips. He's the only player to bag up more than 300,000 in chips at the end of the day with Senh Ung (289,000) and Matan Krakow (250,000) rounding out the top three.
When the day began, 50 players returned. Of those still in contention were Greg Merson, Marc-Andre Ladouceur, Ozzy Sheikh, McLean Karr, Rémy Biechel and Padraig Parkinson. Unfortunately for those players, they all finished outside of the money.
One other player heading out before the money was Jeff Rossiter, but he earned the worst finishing position of them all as he became the first bubble boy of the 2012 WSOP Europe. Rossiter was all in with against Krakow's and needed some help. After the board ran out , Rossiter had whiffed and was out the door.
From there, the first player eliminated in the money was 12-time gold bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. He lost a flip for his stack holding against Roberto Romanello's . Other notable cashes included Govert Metaal, Brandon Cantu, Jennifer Tilly and David "ODB" Baker.
Event #1 Day 3 Chip Counts
|Yannick Bonnet
|Senh Ung
|Matan Krakow
|Sylvain Ribes
|Roberto Romanello
|Imed Ben Mahmoud
|Demis Hassabis
|Romain Chauvassagne
The big story heading into the final day will be Krakow — last year's fourth-place finisher. Krakow began the day as the chip leader and worked his way to the end of the night third overall in chips. He's just a few spots shy of topping his finish from last year.
Play will begin Sunday at 1300 CET (0700 EDT) and you can expect either an early elimination or a double up as Romain Chauvassagne will begin the day severely short stacked. Be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews as another bracelet winner of 2012 is crowned.
Event #2: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em: Butler Leads; 45 Advance from Day 1a
Event #2: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em kicked off on Saturday and 295 players packed the tournament room to take part in the first of two starting flights. The action was quick and by Level 9, the field had been whittled down to 45 players — which is where action was halted for the night. Leading that group is Ashly Butler, who emerged as the Day 1a chip leader with 48,125.
Butler has had a great year, racking up $136,500 in winnings so far in 2012. That includes a third-place finish in Event #8: $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo at this summer's WSOP for $102,373, and nearly winning the Casino Championship at the WSOP Circuit IP Biloxi after winning a ring in a $365 no-limit hold'em event and finishing second in another.
In an early hand, Butler managed to get his stack of 4,500 all in preflop alongside a short-stacked player in Seat 9. Both of them were at risk and covered by a player in the two seat.
Seat 2:
Seat 9:
The board ran out clean for Butler, and the pocket aces propelled him on to what would be the Day 1a chip lead.
Although things went Butler's way on Saturday, not everyone was so lucky. WSOP Player of the Year contender John Monnette was eliminated in the first level when a player in middle position raised to 75, Monnette moved all in for 975 right behind, and Jessica Bian made the call from the button. The original raiser got out of the way and the cards were turned up.
Monnette, who won a bracelet this summer, was in bad shape and in need of some help. Unfortunately for him, he found none as the board ran out . On the bright side, Event #2 is a reentry event, meaning he can try again on Sunday if he so chooses.
Others who fell on Day 1 were Vanessa Selbst, Chance Kornuth, Davidi Kitai, Marvin Rettenmaier, Michael Mizrachi, Joe Kuether, Jeff Lisandro, John Juanda, Andy Frankenberger and Jonathan Aguiar. Whether or not they'll be back to try again remains to be seen.
Many players fell, but a few notables managed to make the top 45. They include Antonio Esfandiari, Ran Azor, McLean Karr, Antonin Teisseire, Konstantin Puchkov and October Nine member Greg Merson, all of whom will return at 1400 CET (0800 EDT) on Monday for Day 2.

|Antonio Esfandiari

We all know the struggles of trying to pull off a bold lip, don't we? When done correctly a bold lip can turn any boring look into a statement. For this week's edition of Latina Style Wars we asked you to send us a picture showing us your favorite bold lip beauty look.
Our winner is NY fashion & lifestyle blogger Johnnybell Sanchez (@nytrendymoms on Instagram). She is rocking Pink Pigeon from Mac, a bright, blue-based pink. Despite the 90-degree weather, she is looking fierce with her fuchsia lips. Johnnybell keeps the rest of her makeup minimal to give the eye-catching lips the center of attention. We also have to point out how much we love her oversized sunglasses and dainty necklace--which are the perfect finish touches for her bold lips!
Don't forget to check back for next week's #LatinaStyleWars and a chance to win a $25 gift card and be featured on Latina.com!
What do you think of Johnnybell's bold lip? Are you daring enough to wear this color? Tell us in the comments below?

Maison Trimbach began in 1626 when Jean Trimbach settled in Riquewihr ...
Jean-Frédéric Trimbach, born in 1811, was appointed Gourmet of Hunawihr, a position designed to protect the quality of wine exports. He transferred the Maison Trimbach business to Hunawihr, where he served as mayor for many years.
Jean-Frédéric and his son, Frédéric-Emile continued the family tradition, and Frédéric-Emile traveled extensively to promote the wines. In 1898 he received the Certificate of Highest Quality at the Brussels International Show. With Frédéric-Emile at the helm, Maison Trimbach began bottling its wines in Alsace rather than selling in bulk, providing a new guarantee of quality and authenticity. The contribution of Frédéric-Emile Trimbach was recognized when the family adopted his initials in the firm's official name: Maison F.E. Trimbach.
Today, the tradition of quality continues with the 11th and 12th generations of the Trimbach family. Hubert and his older brother Bernard, along with Bernard's sons, Pierre and Jean, have continued operations and currently produce approximately 80,000 cases of wines annually. Over one-third of their production is exported to the United States. While one of the smallest of the many producers in Alsace, they are nonetheless the largest, most widely recognized Alsace brand in the United States.

Read the Hamlet soliloquy "O that this too solid flesh would melt" below with modern English translation & analysis:
Spoken by Hamlet, Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2:
O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd
His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! God!
How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable,
Seem to me all the uses of this world!
Fie on't! ah fie! 'tis an unweeded garden,
That grows to seed; things rank and gross in nature
Possess it merely. That it should come to this!
But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:
So excellent a king; that was, to this,
Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
Must I remember? why, she would hang on him,
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on: and yet, within a month–
Let me not think on't–Frailty, thy name is woman!–
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears:–why she, even she–
O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer–married with my uncle,
My father's brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules: within a month:
Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears
Had left the flushing in her galled eyes,
She married. O, most wicked speed, to post
With such dexterity to incestuous sheets!
It is not nor it cannot come to good:
But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue.
"O That This Too Solid Flesh Would Melt" Soliloquy Translation:
He wished that his body would just melt, turn to water and become like the dew. Or that the Almighty hadn't made a law forbidding suicide. Oh God! God! How weary, stale, flat and useless everything about life seemed! He moaned. It was terrible. The whole world was like an unweeded garden that had gone to seed – only ugly disgusting things thrived. He couldn't believe what had happened. Only two months dead; no, not even two. Such an excellent king he had been, compared with this one. It was like Hyperion, the sun god, compared to a lecherous satyr. He'd been so loving to his mother that he wouldn't even allow the gentle breeze of heaven to blow too roughly on her face. He lifted his hands and blocked his ears as though to shut his father's memory out. She had loved him so much, adored him, as though the more she had of him the more she wanted him. And yet, within a month! He couldn't bear to think about it. Women were so inconsistent! Only a month, even before the shoes with which she had followed his father's body were old, all flowing with tears, she, even she… Oh God! Even an animal that doesn't have reason, would have mourned longer – ..she married his uncle! His father's brother, but no more like his father than he was like Hercules. Even before the salt of those hypocritical tears had left her swollen eyes, she married. Oh, most wicked speed, to hurry so enthusiastically to incestuous sheets! It couldn't end happily. But he would just have to break his heart, because he had to hold his tongue.

William Shakespeare says:
A most notable coward, an infinite and endless liar, an hourly promise breaker, the owner of no one good quality
DENIS says:
my first visit to this site…and my last…what a load of pompous contributers ..each trying to out do each other in pseudo intellect
Jordan says:
This "translation" is more like a line-by-line explanation. If it were truly a translation it would preserve the original viewpoint of the source work. When you read a translated book or watch a subtitled movie, do the words therein try to explain to you what happened? Of course not. Because that's not how a translation is supposed to work. Besides, you can't actually "translate" Shakespeare. It's written in Early Modern English, which we quite obviously still speak. And the idea that Shakespeare is just too difficult to read is not only patronizing, it's just flat-out wrong.
But, let's suppose for a second that this could actually be an analysis instead of a translation and was simply mislabeled. In that case, not only is this NOT how an analytical paragraph should read (at least not one your high school English teacher wouldn't fail you on), it's also incredible misleading. "He moaned. It was terrible."? Not supported by the text."He lifted his hands and blocked his ears as though to shut his father's memory out."? What part of "Heaven and earth! Must I remember?" says he covered his ears?
Needless to say, this just seems like shoddy work and should not be considered a viable resource. It does appear that the author has a good grasp on the material, so why is this such as mess? It feels like the author is talking down to his or her readers, which would be more than a little irritating IF that were the case. But personally, I'd rather think they were just pressed for time, or having a bad day.
This is also the first thing I've read on this website. Hopefully the rest isn't this…unhelpful.
Aaron says:
Oh please. Nobody speaks like this anymore, and Shakespeare is hard to understand for a modern audience… which is why sites like this exist… to help people actually understand the outdated sentence structure and references that people just do not understand anymore. Language evolves and changes, yet the things like this that we force down the throats of high school students are stuck in the past!
Melissa says:
Wow. Okay. Someone seems a bit salty. Regarding "the things like this that…are stuck in the past"
Shakespeare plays are written in an elevated language. It's not a matter of it being outdated but rather a matter of looking at it with an educated mind.
I'd further explain this subject, however, I believe my explanation would fall on deaf ears (figuratively speaking).
Jordan is correct in many aspects on his/her comment here. Shakespeare needs no translation (so long as the party in question speaks english) and this hardly qualifies as an analysis. This is more a personal explanation/ interpretation of Hamlet's Soliloquy by the author.
William Hopkins says:
This must be from the First Folio or there's a mistake…Shakespeare swapped the word "sullied" for "solid" in the final.
jpl2132 says:
Actually, "sullied" was first 'swapped-in' by a modern editor. The Folio reads "solid," and the first quarto "sallied" (which doesn't make sense). If you're going by 17th century editions, those are the only two options.
jozaud says:
I don't understand why the soliloquy is in the present tense but the translation is all in the past. "But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue" becomes "But he would just have to break his heart, because he had to hold his tongue." This doesn't make any sense.
JC says:
Well it should be obvious that the soliloquy itself is being spoken by Hamlet in the first person. Considering he is talking about himself. The translation is in third person, and is discussing not only what Hamlet is doing but what he is thinking and feeling. It'd be difficult to just put in modern terms the soliloquy without explaining the meaning behind it.
Jordan says:
"It'd be difficult to just put in modern terms the soliloquy without explaining the meaning behind it."
Actually, it's not.
Read this: http://nfs.sparknotes.com/hamlet/
While I acknowledge that this a cringe-inducing oversimplification that's likely designed for grade-schoolers, it does prove that no, it is not difficult to just rewrite Shakespeare with a modern syntax and no, there is no logical reason this "translation" should be in third person. If you still don't believe me, go to any Shakespeare production aimed at children. If the author felt the need to explain him or herself, he or she could have just written an analysis and tacked it on to the end.

GreenPan Brand
Our health is the most precious thing we have. GreenPan™ is passionate about healthy cooking. We launched our ceramic coated pans in 2007, and have seen millions of consumers joining the ceramic revolution. GreenPan™ has changed the material which families across the globe cook with, and will continue to invest in healthy technologies.
Healthy cooking is not only about the foods you use: it is also about the right cookware.
The patented Thermolon™ non-stick technology is heat resistant up to high temperatures. This means that GreenPan™ has an extra safety feature; if you overheat your pan, even up to 450/850, no toxic fumes will be released and the coating will not blister or peel.
Nowadays, cooking and eating have become so much more than fulfilling a primal need. We are aware of what we eat and cooking has become really 'hot'. We make non-stick pans that allow you to prepare great dishes. All the products look great: premium materials in a clever design. But most of all: GreenPan™ performs!
Thermolon™ is a better heat conductor than traditional coatings. This results in superb searing and crispy frying! The excellent heat distribution also allows even cooking, which makes the food brown beautifully. It allows you to mostly cook on low to medium temperatures.
Above all, the Thermolon™ surface provides great non-stick and is very easy to clean.
GreenPan tries to produce products as responsibly as possible.
- GreenPan™ products are cadmium- and lead-free.
- 60% less CO2 is emitted during the curing phase of production of Thermolon™coatings, compared to the emissions during the curing phase of production of traditional coatings on an aggregate level worldwide.
- We process used materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials. Therefore we use upcycled stainless steel for the handles and upcycled aluminium for the cookware bodies.
