Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale Dyno and Drag Strip TestingMarch 1st, 2014
We've run our first set of tests with a Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale, also know for short as the STS. The Super Trofeo Stradale is Lamborghini's all out race car for the street modeled after the real Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, the automaker's exclusive annual racing series. The STS is the lightest Gallardo available with a host of carbon fiber parts including a large adjustable rear wing and carbon fiber engine compartment lid, which is easily removable and held in place by a quick-release system pulled from the race car. The STS is powered by a 5.2L V10 with a rated output of 570 horsepower.
Our car is equipped with the 6 speed e-gear transmission with, multi-media system (the car doesn't normally come with a stereo), black carbon interior, top in black and is painted in a striking Rosso Mars with matt black accents and plenty of carbon fiber exterior pieces. For some more pictures, visit the gallery of STS images we posted last week.
Our first stop was a visit with Jack over at HP Logic in Royal Palm Beach for a quick set of baseline dyno runs. Once strapped down to the Mustang AWD dyno we made two pulls where the STS put down 509 horsepower and 361 ft-lbs of torque to all 4 wheels with back to back pulls. Using a 15% drive line loss, that puts this all out racing Lambo at 598 horsepower at the crank, a bit more than the 570 horsepower number that Lamborghini specifies.
After leaving HP Logic we headed up to Palm Beach International Raceway to attend their Friday night test and tune. With the weather being decent at 65 degrees the track was packed and constant delays from cars breaking down limited the amount of time we had to test out the STS. On the first pass we engaged Launch Control AKA Thrust Mode by putting the STS in Corsa mode with ESC (traction control) completely off. With the left foot on the brake and the right foot all the way down on the throttle the STS held 5,000 RPM for the launch. Releasing the brake resulted in quite a bit of spin which caused the car to lay down a little from the start with the car running a 11.3 @ 125 MPH. On our next run the track prep had deteriorated some and the STS spun even more from the aggressive launch and we had to abort the run. The factory provided Pirelli PZero tires just couldn't hook up with the 5,000 RPM the car is programmed to launch at. Our next two passes were made with no launch control and the car ran 11.3-11.4 @ 126 MPH. We're pretty sure this is the quickest real world stock Lamborghini Gallardo pass at a real drag strip to date.
VBOX data showed 0-60 MPH in 3.3 – 3.4 seconds on passes with and without launch control with 0-100 MPH in 7.2 seconds. Our best 60-130 run was done outside the track with 2 shifts with a best time of 7.69 seconds.
In the next few weeks we plan on putting some better tires on the car, Toyo R888's and giving the STS another try, if the new tires hook better as we think they will, we'll be looking at some 1.7x 60′ times and very low 11 second passes and possible a 10.9x if the weather is perfect. We might even try some passes with the large wing removed to see how the effects the car down the 1/4 mile.
It just so happens there was a brand new Porsche 991 Turbo at the track, so we lined them up for a few heads up passes. Keep in mind this was our first pass ever with the STS and we need some time to get the light timing right with the launches. Take a look at the dyno results, timeslips, pictures and videos below and check back soon for some more Super Trofeo Stradale data. Special thanks to ToTheFloor for the video footage at PBIR and Jack over at HPLogic for the dyno session!

Some of them are hybrids and some are GPS-enabled. They're not cars, they're digital camcorders and the recent generation of them have almost as many options as automobiles have.
Want to take 8-by-10 quality photos at a friend's wedding, as well as high-definition video? Canon's "hybrid" VIXIA HF S100 includes an 8-megapixel camera. Into "geo-tagging" your video so you know the exact location of where it was shot? Several of Sony's camcorders, including the HDR-XR200 V, have built-in GPS. Like a hint of color in your camcorder? Samsung's SMX-C14 and C10 camcorders, due out this summer, infuse a subtle dose of red, gray or teal into the black body of the video cam.
Many cameras and phones do double duty for taking short videos, and the pocket-sized Flip camera brought simple video and easy YouTube-uploadability to the masses, with prices starting at around $149. It also incorporated the use of flash memory — not a hard drive or mini-DV tape — to store video until it is offloaded to a computer or to the Web. More companies are incorporating flash memory, which has also led to smaller, sleeker consumer video cams, many weighing a pound or less.
"The days of the rocket launcher-sized camcorder are far gone," said Darryl Cole, product manager for Samsung camcorders.
Flash memory is "going to be the media of choice in the future" for camcorders, said Ross Rubin, director of industry analysis for The NPD Group, and more companies such as Sony, Canon and Samsung are moving to use flash memory in more of their devices instead of hard disk drives, mini-DVDs or mini-DV tapes.
"Currently, camcorders with hard drives are the most popular format because of their size, which means more recording time," he said. "For example, we've got camcorders with 32 gigabytes of built-in flash memory, which means you can record up to 12 hours of video. If you look at hard disk drive models, we have a 120-gigabyte model that can get up to 48 hours of recording time.
"But with flash memory technology, the numbers are getting higher, and we see it as the most dominant format by 2010," Thomas said.
Samsung, a leading manufacturer of flash memory, is using it in almost all of its camcorders.
"We don't make any hard drive camcorders," said Cole. "We kind of skipped right over that technology. We identified years ago that flash was the way to go, and so that's where we allocated our resources."
Flash drives, he said, are "more durable, much smaller, much better on battery life, and they're very quiet. A lot of camcorders with DVDs and hard drives make a lot of noise and emit a lot of heat. Flash memory avoids those issues."
Many companies that use flash memory also provide a slot on the camcorder for an SD or SD High Capacity (SDHC) card for additional video storage.
The first question for buyers of any camcorder is "asking yourself what kind of recording format do you want?" said Thomas. The second, he said, is whether to get a video cam that records in high definition versus standard definition.
With a growing number of households buying HDTVs, some of them will want to capture "milestone" kinds of events, like graduations or weddings, in high-definition video, Rubin said. (Although, if the bride or groom sweats profusely, seeing it in HD may not be so attractive, a downside to HD's lifelike quality.)
Standard-definition video has 480 lines of resolution, and high-definition video is up to 1,080 lines of resolution.
Camcorders that shoot high definition also are more expensive, generally $500 and up, but prices are starting to come down, said Rubin.
Manufacturers are also trying to distinguish their video cams with additional features and technical help.
Canon's high-definition, flash memory-based "hybrid" VIXIA HF S100 (retail price around $1,100) has an 8-megapixel camera, a significant step up from its last camcorder/camera combo, which had a 3-megapixel camera, Thomas said.
"This product will attract people who want both a camera and a camcorder with them, but just want to carry one piece of equipment with them, knowing that it's on the cusp of a professional camcorder with a wide array of manual controls," he said.
"Hybrid" camcorders that also have high-quality still cameras are made by several companies, including Sony, with a 12-megapixel model, and Samsung with a 9-megapixel camera.
Canon is using its DIGIC DV III processor, which puts an emphasis on face-detection technology, in four of its high-definition, flash-based camcorders.
Another feature is "video snapshot mode," which lets photographers easily record and put together a string of four-second video clips.
"What you're doing here is creating a highlight video, compiling all your four-second clips together so you can watch an entertaining video instead of watching one long, boring video," Thomas said.
"We've found that with any kind of camcorder we sell, there's only a small number of people editing the video on a computer because it's pretty time intensive. With this feature, you just take the camcorder through your scenes, delete the scenes you don't want, and just compile them together using the four-second video clips."
If you're trying to remember where exactly you took a video, Sony's HDR-XR200V (retail around $900) includes a built-in GPS antenna and digital maps for video and photo geotagging. Each shot's location can be played back on the camcorder's map index display or shown on the computer using Sony's Picture Motion Browser software, the company says.
The camcorder has a 120-gigabyte hard disk drive, which can hold up to 48 hours of HD-quality video, Sony says.
Touch screens, used in some digital cameras and many phones, has also come to camcorders. Panasonic's high-definition, flash-based HDC-TM300K (retail around $1,300) uses a touch panel for menu navigation on the camcorder's 2.7-inch LCD panel.
Many manufacturers are also including easy ways — either through a button on the camcorder or its software — to upload video to YouTube, one of the Flip's popular features.
Pure Digital Technologies, which created the Flip camera, definitely created a market for camcorders of less than $200, said Cole, opening the camcorder market "to people that weren't traditionally included in it.
"As those people are using the product and enjoying it, in the future they may also start searching for features that they don't have on those camcorders," he said. "They might want to take still pictures. They might want to have a longer zoom. They might be recording and noticing that maybe the HD quality of the sub-$200 products aren't the same HD quality as they find on a higher-end camcorder."

French Court Upholds $800,000 Fraud Fine Against Church of Scientology
The highest appellate court in France has upheld a 2009 ruling against the Church of Scientology wherein the controversial sect had to pay a fraud fine of about $822,000 (€600,000).
The Cour de Cassation upheld a ruling that the Scientology leadership was guilty of fraud that involved taking advantage of followers through various practices.
In contrast to the United States, French law has different standards for religious groups, with entities that are classified as cults being given fewer rights than entities classified as religions.
Scientology is classified as a cult by the government and therefore was denied an appeal on the argument that their religious liberties had been violated.
In a statement released in response to the decision, the California-based Scientology group decried the Cour de Cassation's decision as, among other things, "an affront to justice and religious liberty," "anti-religious extremism," and "a heresy trial."
"The Court failed to address the fundamental violations of the human rights of each of the defendants that infected every level of this case," reads the statement in part.
In 2009, the Church of Scientology found itself before a French court over the allegation that it was illegally taking advantage of its followers.
Scientology has a "Celebrity Centre" in France, as well as a bookshop in Paris and reportedly about 45,000 adherents in the European nation.
The case regarded allegations by multiple plaintiffs that the Church was manipulating and preying upon followers both financially and psychologically, according to the UK Telegraph.
"The charges, which also include claims of illegally prescribing drugs, were filed by France's professional pharmaceutical association and two women who accuse the Scientologists of bringing about their financial ruin," wrote Henry Samuel of the Telegraph.
"Three other former Scientologists retracted their complaints after reportedly reaching an out-of-court financial settlement with the church."
Georges Fenech, a lawmaker who heads a parliamentary group on religious cults in France, expressed support for the Cour de Cassation decision in a statement.
"Far from being a violation of freedom of religion, as this American organization contends, this decision lifts the veil on the illegal and highly detrimental practices [of Scientology]," said Fenech.
The Church of Scientology has stated that they will appeal the decision before the European Court of Human Rights.

Hip-hop met the Big 10 gridiron today (September 7) when Eminem previewed the music video for his new hit single, "Berzerk,"during halftime of the Michigan-Notre Dame Saturday Night Football game.
The video teaser found the clip staying true to the old-school vibe of the song, featuring appearances from the song's producer, Rick Rubin, mugging for the camera alongside Eminem (sporting classic Detroit Pistons gear from their late '80s "Bad Boys" championship era) as he rapped the song's lyrics next to a gigantic boombox stereo.
Another big reveal during the video teaser was a cameo appearance by Kendrick Lamar, who shows up to rap alongside Eminem.
"Berzerk" is the first single from the highly anticipated The Marshall Mathers LP 2 full-length, due for release on Nov. 5, which Eminem himself discussed during a brief, somewhat bizarre halftime interview with the game's announcers, Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit.

Comedian Maria Bamford headlines two shows on Friday, March 22nd, at the historic 230-seat Brattle Theater in the heart of Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA. Get tickets at the link!
Maria recently had a two-episode guest-starring role on the Emmy-award winning Louie on FX and is a leading comedian in the "alternative comedy" circuit. Maria toured with and co-starred in the film version of the groundbreaking Comedians of Comedy alongside the likes of Patton Oswalt and and Zach Galifianakis.
Maria's comedy albums consistently land on top ten lists and one of her albums was named one of the best albums of the decade by the Onion's AV Club. Her most recently album, Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome, is available now. Maria headlined the Second Annual Women in Comedy Festival back in 2010 and her show sold out almost immediately.
Maria has appeared all over television on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Sarah Silverman Program, and Tim and Eric: Awesome Show. She has lent her voice to numerous animated features and television shows such as The Legend of Korra, Back at the Banyard, Kung Fu Panda, and CatDog.
Her poplularity is steadily increasing from exposure on national television and her quirky ads for Target, so this is a unique opportunity to still catch her in a rather intimate space at an affordable price.

Insufficient meat content, use of by-products, meat and fat of unidentifiable origin, low quality grain, carcinogenic chemical preservative, controversial filler.
The sole meat product in the food is "meat" meal, heading the ingredient list. This is an extremely low quality product of unidentifiable origin and something we would go to great lengths to avoid in any dog food. It is defined as "the rendered product from mammal tissues, exclusive of blood, hair, hoof, horn, hide trimmings, manure, stomach and rumen contents except in such amounts as may occur unavoidably in good processing practices".
The grain content is similarly low quality. Brewers rice is a by-product. Corn is a difficult to digest grain, which limits its nutritional value for dogs. We consider this to be a low quality ingredient. It is also commonly associated with allergy and skin problems. Wheat is a grain very commonly associated with allergy problems that we prefer not to see used, and in this form is filler. We prefer not to see the use of these grains in dog food. Soybean meal, the ground remains of soybeans after extraction of oil, provides additional low quality protein to the food. We prefer not to see the use of any form of soy in dog food as this is an ingredient of low quality and commonly causing allergy problems.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative". In this instance, the preservative used is a chemical BHA that is widely believed to be carcinogenic.
Corn appears a second time on the ingredient list as corn gluten meal. This is the "dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm". In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed.
This food includes by-products. Chicken by-product meal - a very low quality ingredient. This is defined as "consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice".
Beet pulp is another low quality ingredient and filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.

Some personality traits appear to be linked with the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, a new study suggests.
The tendency to avoid taking risks appears to be a stable personality trait across a patient's lifetime — as far back as 30 years before symptoms began, those with Parkinson's disease said they did not often engage in risky or exhilarating activities, such as riding roller coasters or speeding, the study found.
The findings add to a growing body of research suggesting Parkinson's is more likely to afflict people with rigid, cautious personalities.
It's possible that what we consider to be aspects of someone's personality may in fact be very early manifestations of Parkinson's, said study researcher Kelly Sullivan, of the University of South Florida's department of neurology. However, much more research is needed to confirm this hypothesis, Sullivan said.(May 1,2012-LiveScience)
One notable exception to the rule is Hitler. He never was cautious or stable.He had opinions, prejudices and his steps into the centre stage of German politics was a gambler's approach. His bluff was not seriously challenged and never for once he stopped upping the stakes ever higher. History is clear that he was suffering from the disease.
There are those who have Parkinson's personality and there are those who have not(for example-Hitler); and yet circumstances add up, genetic partly and extraneous conditions also play their part.
Allow me to indulge in my humor: If all the cautious, stable people suffered from Parkinson's the entire world would have to be shut up. Day to day matters that keep the world run will stop. Do you think it can be left with unstable personalities the kind of fellows who were running Investment banking? The world would go in the way of Baring Bank( now defunct) if Goldman Sachs could get hold of it. Not as yet.
The primary fault in Parkinson's Disease is the insufficient formation of dopamine. When dopamine fails to form properly the highly damaging superoxide anion is formed instead. This can cause further deterioration in Parkinson's Disease. Although cell damage is widely claimed to cause Parkinson's Disease when there is a certain lack of the Parkin gene and it can hasten or aggravate the rate of cell damage. (Journal of Cell Biology [2008] Nov 24.
15th November 2008 – History
The Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler, was known to have Parkinson's Disease from 1933 until his suicide in 1945 At the end of the Second World War he was largely confined to his bunker in Berlin. In his final days in the bunker, he shuffled around his room, mumbling to himself. His shaking was related to emotional upsets. Physically, he had quickly deteriorated and developed the appearance of an old man. The Nazi hierarchy had throughout tried to conceal his Parkinson's Disease by all means.(ack: http://viartis.net/parkinsons.disease/news)

A Pap smear is a microscopic examination of cells scraped from the opening of the cervix. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus (womb) that opens at the top of the vagina.
It is a screening test for cervical cancer.
Papanicolaou test
You will lie on a table and place your feet in stirrups. The doctor or nurse will place an instrument (called a speculum) into the vagina and open it slightly. This allows the doctor or nurse to better see inside the vagina and cervix.
Cells are gently scraped from the cervix area, and sent to a lab for examination.
Make sure your doctor or nurse knows about all the medicines you are taking. Some birth control pills that contain estrogen or progestin may interfere with test results.
Also tell your doctor or nurse if you:
Avoid the following for 24 hours before the test:
Avoid scheduling your Pap smear while you have your period (are menstruating), because it may affect the accuracy of the Pap smear.
Empty your bladder just before the test.
A Pap smear may cause some discomfort, similar to menstrual cramps. You may also feel some pressure during the exam.
You may bleed a little bit after the test.
The Pap smear is a screening test for cervical cancer. Most cervical cancers can be detected early if a woman has routine Pap smears.
Screening should start at age 21. After the first test:
After age 65-70:
You may not need to have a Pap smear if you have had a total hysterectomy (uterus and cervix removed) and have not had an abnormal Pap smear, cervical cancer, or other pelvic cancer.
A normal (negative) value means there are no abnormal cells present.
Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Abnormal results are grouped as follows:
ASCUS or AGUS
LSIL (low-grade dysplasia) or HSIL (high-grade dysplasia):
Carcinoma in situ (CIS):
Atypical squamous cells (ASCâÂÂH):
Atypical glandular cells (AGC):
When a Pap smear shows abnormal changes, further testing or follow-up is needed. The next step depends on the results of the Pap smear, your previous history of Pap smears, and risk factors you may have for cervical cancer.
Follow-up testing may include:
For minor cell changes, doctors usually recommend having a repeat Pap smear in 3-6 months.
The Pap smear test is not 100% accurate. Cervical cancer may be missed in a small number of cases. Most of the time, cervical cancer develops very slowly and follow-up Pap smears should identify worrisome changes in time for treatment.

This time a year ago, Lardarius Webb was developing into one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL when he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in a Week 6 victory. Webb was playing so well at the time, I wrote that losing him was more significant than losing Ray Lewis, who was also hurt that week.
A year later, Webb is back in the starting lineup with six games under his belt, but he understandably is not playing at the high level he had been before the injury, when it looked like he might make the Pro Bowl.
Webb was targeted nine times in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, according to Pro Football Focus, and he allowed six completions for 128 yards, including a 64-yard touchdown from Jordy Nelson. On the play, he let Nelson run right by him for an easy touchdown. After the game, Webb said the Ravens were in quarters coverage, which left him alone on the outside, but added he thought he would have help.
According to Pro Football Focus, it was the first time Webb had been beaten for a touchdown in coverage since 2010.
Through six games, Webb has been targeted 40 times and has allowed 25 receptions for a team-high 384 yards and a touchdown. Opposing quarterbacks have a 102.5 passer rating when targeting him, according to Pro Football Focus.
Only five NFL defensive backs have been beaten for more yards in coverage than Webb, who has uncharacteristically allowed 132 yards after the catch this season, as well.
Webb hasn't publicly used his reconstructed left knee as an excuse, but it was probably unrealistic to expect him to be fully back to his old shut-down self right out of the gate.
What Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson did last season was an anomaly, yet he has raised expectations for how a modern professional athlete should perform a year after an ACL tear. Webb acknowledged back in July that he had watched Peterson's superhuman feats from afar, but he said that everyone's bodies heal at their own rate.
Still, he said then, "I think I can be Lardarius Webb again."
He's not there yet, though he could still be by season's end.

Since the border crisis started to become apparent, a lot of North Texans have been willing to help the unaccompanied immigrant children anyway they can.
Catholic Charities of Fort Worth is prepared to take in 32 immigrant children and is actively seeking volunteers to help.
The latest news from around North Texas.
The group is also looking for families willing to become foster parents, not just for those crossing the border now, but many other children across the world in need of help.
On Tuesday afternoon, the charity held an informational meeting for prospective foster families at its Fort Worth headquarters. Another meeting is scheduled this week on Thursday night.
Officials cautioned that only a small percentage of those crossing the border will be in need of fostering.
Cameras were not allowed inside the meeting, but reporters were able to attend.
During the meeting, Catholic Charities representatives said that any child in need of fostering will have legal status. That means they may have been the victims of trafficking, have no one to care for them and have gone through all immigration hearings.
Presenters told the group that most of the children will be placed with relatives in the U.S. or sent back to their home countries, if there is a safe place for them to go.
Officials said the gathering of about three dozen people on Tuesday was larger than a normal informational meeting.
Afterwards, many families said they heard about the opportunity and were inspired to do something by seeing the coverage in the media.
Many others have long talked about getting involved in the International Foster Care Program.
"It's always been something I wanted to do," said Luis Hernandez.
Luis and Gabriela Hernandez have talked about becoming an international foster family for years.
"Just the yearning of wanting to help, take one of those kids as one of our own," Gabriela said. "I think we're ready for that."
The Hernandez's joined many other families on Tuesday. They learned during the hour-long sessions that it takes prospective families two to six months to complete required training and to become certified.
Most children in need of fostering in the program are teenagers, average age being 15-17 years of age.
Most fosterings last for about five years, as they can leave when they turn 18 or as late as 22, depending on high school education.
Several families in attendance indicated during a question and answer session that they were foster parents already in Texas.
But employees said families must have international certification as well and would forfeit being a state foster family, based on state law.
Catholic Charities employees said international foster care is more like adoption, but without formally adopting the child. They also called it a long-term commitment.
"We're involved in our church, feel like it's the right thing to do," said Doug Mason
Doug and Elizabeth Mason's eldest daughter is already several months into the process of certification. She talked her parents into doing it as well, in the wake of the current crisis.
"If you read the paper and watch the news, you can't help but see the need, just felt called," Elizabeth Mason said.
The desire to help is deeply personal for many, whether it's the images on television or in the Hernandez's case, living it themselves.
"It's like if it was me all over again," Gabriela said.
Both Gabriela and Luis immigrated from Mexico. They became U.S. citizens a decade ago and now feel inclined to help others.
"We speak the language, we know the culture, we are in some ways connected," Luis said. "We feel a very strong connection there, that we can help these kids."
Gabriela also pointed out that as a bilingual family, they could help the children better than most.
Catholic Charities pointed out that foster families aren't just needed for children from South and Central America, but from all over the world. They place children from East Africa and Southeast Asia with families as well.

"Tune n tonite 2 c who gets the biggest Hater Award. Was so many it was hard 2 decide. help me pick the winner," tweeted Cynthia Bailey yesterday.
"Right" was NeNe Leakes's reply to her good friend Cynthia, who didn't respond to her by the way. "In the fashion industry, they're always looking for the next young model so that's going to be tough for Cynthia because young ain't on her side right now," were Nene's exact words about her good friend Cynthia following her runway walk. Dear Nene, me thinks Cynthia was referring to you as well, or at least she should have been.
Moving right along to last night's episode of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, which wasn't the finale as that airs next week.
The episode beings with the continuation of the tour bus ride from hell. Kim and Nene continue to argue as Nene also continues to make all kinds of threats. "I'll toss you out the window," threatens Nene as I wonder why the two Bravo housewives who claim to be victims of domestic violence, and advocate against it, aka Nene and Taylor Armstrong, are always the first ones to threaten violence. Funny how that works.
The tour bus finally touches base in Miami as the other ladies anxiously await their arrival. If only they knew that Hurricane Nene was heading their way. "You need to grow up and you need to know how to handle a conversation like an adult," continues Nene as she yells at Kim back on the bus. "It's so childish and immature," adds the 42-year-old Nene. Oh the irony. I can assure you if you were to look into a dictionary at this very moment for the word irony hater, Nene's photo will pop up!

4. Fill out the form below to request a performance.
6. You will receive an email within one business day from the Community Engagement Assistant confirming the receipt of your request.
7. The Community Engagement Assistant will contact the venue directly to set up the performance. Please note it may take some time for the venue to respond. The Community Engagement Assistant will provide updates to you and your studio professor or coach every three business days.

I see your point with not taking proper care when working with acids/ not knowing when to take off the lab coat. The basic point is that you take safety precautions when it is necessary and sometimes where it is mandatory (even if it seems lame). And no amount of experience/ coolness should give you the right to draft new rules for yourself.
Realizing that it is a jokes forum and we are not a H&S committee deciding whether we should/ should not use LAB coats from here on, I think we should put this discussion to rest. We are grown ups and we understand the necessity of safety precautions.
BTW, Hobglobin, thanks for the picture, I think I will put it up in my lab....
You are offcourse right.
But the thing some of us here seem to forget is that I do wear my coat when needed, but I know when not to wear it.. and its allowed.. since I do not need to wear my coat when doing things that dont need a coat... The thing is that others just dont realise this and take the idea of wearing a coat very strict in the sence of: entering a lab= wearing coat.. but this is just not true.

When we told you yesterday that America was gonna give that derelict tsunami boat a nautical spanking, it was no joke: here's photographic proof of the brutal attack on the poor, unarmed shrimping vessel. Kaboom. The seas are safe again.
The ghost attack was almost halted when a Canadian company said they'd haul the thing off and try to salvage it, but after claiming it was too much of a hassle, the Yanks went ahead and shelled 'er to high hell. Judging by the roaring flames and dozens of enormous shell holes from the 25mm cannon, I think the Coast Guard's operation was a success. And indeed, they say it was:
The Japanese fishing vessel, Ryou-Un Maru, [showed] significant signs of damage after the Coast Guard Cutter Anancapa fired explosive ammunition into it 180 miles west of the Southeast Alaskan coast April 5, 2012. The derelict fishing vessel sank at 6:15 p.m.
Glug glug glug. God, that must have been a lot of fun. Like, the best day of work of all time. How badly do you think the crew of the Anancapa stared at that cannon, longingly, every day, just hoping they'd be able to let 'er rip with round after round of explosive ammo? With an urgency that'd make Neptune quiver, I reckon. The onslaught was ""a great way for [the crew] to put their skills to use," Coast Guard spokesman Kip Wadlow tells MSNBC, almost certainly with a huge grin and awesome sunglasses on.
Thus ends the saga of the Ryou-Un Maru, which roughly means "Fishing Luck" in Japanese. Not quite. [US Coast Guard]

The Dish on Neighbor Islands
For people who love dining out, juicy food gossip is almost as satisfying as the stuff you read in supermarket tabloids.

A Pirate's Ship with Wine Casks Was Just Discovered Under the Hyatt Regency
Well, close. One of Maui's newest restaurants, Son'z, does have the largest wine cellar in the state. The restaurant, in the Hyatt Regency Maui's Swan Court, has 3,000 bottles, and its inventory is worth about $250,000. What's good to eat? Try the Surfing Goat Cheese Ravioli, made with Surfing Goat cheese from the Maui-based dairy. 200 Nohea Kai St., Kaanapali. (808) 667-4506.
Spontaneous Combustion!
The Pukalani Country Club Restaurant suffered more than $1 million in damage during a 2006 fire, which was deliberately set, according to police investigators. It's unclear what the arsonists had against a restaurant renowned for its cream pies. The restaurant is waiting to move back into its permanent building, which is still undergoing repairs. In the meantime, diners can visit its temporary location in the country club. But hey, be careful when lighting your cigarette! 360 Pukalani St., Pukalani, (808) 572-1325.

Abducted Restaurants
Sansei Kapalua, D.K. Kodama's award-winning seafood restaurant and sushi bar, has just moved to a new location; its old building was demolished to make way for a development. The 11-year-old restaurant is now on Office Road near the Honolua General Store. 600 Office Road, Lahaina. (808) 669-6286.
Unfortunately, another Kodama property, Vino Kapalua, is no more. The Italian tapas and wine bar had been open for four years before it was shuttered in June. Maui patrons who crave the Vino taste will have to ferry over to Kodama's other branch, located at Restaurant Row in Honolulu.
In other closures on Maui, Lahaina's E&O Trading Company, winner of Best New Maui Restaurant, Gold, in the 2007 HONOLULU Hale Aina Awards, closed last May. "Maui became very expensive and people started eating at home more," says Mike Hadley, a business partner for E&O.

Super-Skinny Actress Actually Eats!
At the end of March, the Four Seasons Resort at WaiLea, Maui debuted its new restaurant, DUO, located at the former Pacific Grill. The paparazzi was there to snap shots of the celebrities who attended the grand opening, including Christina Applegate, Kate Bosworth, Amanda Bynes and Christian Slater. But we'd rather get whipped into a lather over the menu, which is winning raves for items like free-range veal chops, Keahole lobster and Kobe beef. Even skinny-minnie models can be persuaded to eat a good steak. 3900 Wailea Alanui, WaiLea, (808) 874-2244.

Island Boozes it Up
"We have a new bar menu," says Mark Zigmond, owner of Pele's Other Garden. "It may not seem like a big deal, but this is Lanai—it's big news here!" he says. In fact, except for the hotels, Zigmond's restaurant is the only place on Lanai that even has a liquor license. So once you've ordered up a cocktail or two, check out the new food that goes with it, such as fish and chips, sandwiches, onion rings and calamari. 811 Houston St., Lanai City. (808) 565-9628.

Schmidt may have finally bitten off more than he can chew!
New Girl's self-professed ladies' man will meet his match in Emma (Carla Gugino), his new corporate boss who enlists Schimdt (Max Greenfield) in a reverse Fifty Shades of Grey-esque relationship Tuesday (9/8c, Fox). As such, Gugino and Greenfield had to get mighty close throughout filming their, ahem, sadomasochistic (S&M) scenes, which is why TVGuide.com turned to the Political Animals alum to find out just how far things went on set. Plus: How is Greenfield as a TV lover? Get the scoop below:
Are New Girl's Nick and Jess the new Ross and Rachel?
What was your first reaction to this role when it hit your radar?
Carla Gugino: My first introduction to it was a conversation on the phone with [creator] Liz Meriwether, and at that point, it was in the incubation phase of, "This is what we think we want this dynamic to be." As she started describing more of the qualities of this character, I was loving it more and more. I was happy that she wanted this person to be as crazy as [possible]. When Liz said she's going to be Schmidt's big boss and she's kind of bat-sh-- crazy, I was like, "I am in. This sounds really fun!" Basically we started talking and throwing out different ideas about how it would manifest itself. Then I think the Fifty Shades of Grey terminology came in later. But it was a character that I really thought it would be fun to jump into the unknown with. I said "Sure, I'm in" before I ever had a script or anything like that to look at. So you're definitely going on people who are making the show and just a sense of what you might be doing.
Did you know Max beforehand or have a chance to get to know him? Or did you guys have to jump straight into this crazy relationship?
Gugino: No, it was actually really funny. We have a couple of mutual friends, but ... didn't know him before this at all, and we met and just said hello to each other at the night before the Emmys party. I was like, "Hey, we're going to be shortly doing some really crazy stuff together, so how are you doing?" We both just laughed. The truth is, the moment that I was on set, he was super lovely and made everything feel very comfortable. Basically the first scene that we had together that's in this episode [Tuesday] ... I literally had my tongue so far in his ear, because it was like, "Let's go further, let's see what happens." It was definitely a thing where Max and I looked at each other, and I was like, "Okay, are we going for it? This is your show. Tell me when I go too far." So once you've done that, you're good to go with that person for the rest of the whole thing.
What were some of the crazy things you had to do to Max? And did you ever say no to anything?
Gugino: No, there was nothing that I said no to. I felt like I was in pretty good hands. I think if I didn't know the show, then I might have been a little more reticent. Also, the nice thing about network television, in that way, is that you're protected. You know you can't go too crazy, but it's about: How can you be really creative in terms of pushing the limits in the bounds that you have? Let's just say there were black ropes involved at one point. There were feathers glue-gunned to people. I think I'm actually wearing a tool belt at one point. Not all of this is in this first [episode], but it's in the trajectory of our relationship. What's kind of fun also is that she ends up being more complicated in ways that you don't expect. You also see the flip side of these people, and where you don't think it's going to go in that direction, and it does.
Fox orders more New Girl and Raising Hope
Max mentioned she may not be as experienced as she's letting on.
Gugino: Right, exactly. You'll have to see. Her reasons for wanting to dominate him sexually, the amount of experience she has or has not, will become evident.
Did you actually read Fifty Shades of Grey before this?
Gugino: I didn't. I feel like I'm the only woman on the planet who hasn't read it. I mean, I know the gist of it, obviously. I don't know why, but I think the notion of S&M is just ripe for comedy. Not that it's not to be taken very seriously by those who take it seriously, but when that first element of it was thrown into the mix, I just thought that was really funny.
Did you guys get to improvise at all or was it all laid out for you?
Gugino: No, we improvised a ton. Obviously there's a script to work from, but it's like a great tennis match with Liz and/or whatever writers or producers are working on that particular episode. You'll oftentimes do a pass at a scene where they'll throw out a lot of new ideas for jokes and stuff, so you're just delivering on the fly completely. So it's much more like Second City, almost more of a stand-up environment in that particular way, which is actually really cool, and yet, for sure, something that was nothing I've done in a while.
As an actor, and I have been doing this since I was a kid, I always love it when I'm put in a situation where I'm like, "Whoa, this is a whole new deal!" So what was interesting for me is that we were discovering who she was, all of us, at the same time. Some lines were more for one version of the character and some were for another version of the character, and we were waiting to see what version coalesces with the whole thing.
New Girl Creator Liz Meriwether: Jess goes "off the grid" in Season 2
Which version are we going to see of this character?
Gugino: It's tricky because there are some fun surprises in terms of where it goes, but suffice it to say that she is this strong, sexy, successful woman who appears to be incredibly dominating, and yet, generally people who are of that ilk, it's because there's something they're trying to make up for. So in that way, you'll find out a little bit more about her, her personal life and her own struggles, which hopefully will allow them to bond on a different level, she and Schmidt.
What is it about Schmidt that attracts her to him?
Gugino: Well I think it's the fact that he seems just absolutely powerless. She sexually wants to go for someone who is low on the totem pole at work and that fetish-like idea intrigues her. She had also heard that he was good in bed from other co-workers. You don't want to be going on an S&M journey with someone who is bad in bed.
Considering this is so just different from what you've played before, is it something you would want to do again?
Gugino: It's funny how your careers are always interesting that way. When I first started, I did the Son-in-Law with Pauly Shore, and I did Spin City with Michael J. Fox, and I've done a number of comedies and more recently as well, but those were more broad comedies in that way. Simultaneously, I was doing things like This Boy's Life and things that were more serious, and something like Political Animals has humor in it, but it's not as broadly funny, obviously. I love comedy, it's so fun to do, and I haven't gotten the opportunity to do something in that world that I have been really excited to do. So, I would absolutely love to do more like that and I could have a total blast, and on this particular show, the actors are really great and really funny. So, yeah, I had a blast.
You're on for three episodes, but do they leave open the possibility for her to return?
Gugino: It's definitely left in a place where I think it could go either way, but it's definitely left open to wonder what may or may not happen. You never know in the world of New Girl.
Are you excited to see Schmidt's Fifty Shades relationship?
Check out a sneak peek at Gugino's debut, which airs Tuesday at 9/8c on Fox:

6 Tips to Lose Weight for Life From 'The Social Network Diet'
Don't diet alone! Instead, slim down with support from your social network and these tips from the new book 'The Social Network Diet.'
"Being fat isn't your fault; staying fat is." That's the famous mantra of celebrity trainer Jackie Warner, and it's a great way to explain the message behind the new book, The Social Network Diet. And though Warner's tough-love approach is not exactly the tone The Social Network Diet authors Miriam Nelson, PhD, and Jennifer Ackerman take, the message is basically the same. The reason why so many people are overweight, the authors say, is not because they're lazy or unmotivated, but because their environments — social, familial, economic — make them fat and keep them that way.
If your spouse has ever bought you ice cream to "reward" you after a week of hard workouts, if your friends and family have ever pressured you to eat or drink more, or if your job or commute is just too time-consuming to allow time for fitness, The Social Network Diet is for you. Throughout the tome, Nelson brings her expert, evidence-based counsel on how to create — and stick to — a weight-loss lifestyle.
"We feel strongly that it's hard for women to keep weight off once they've lost it," Nelson explains. "And the reason is simple: Once you've lost the weight, if you return to the identical social and physical environment, it will come back. Our message is all about how to change that environment to not only help women stick to their diets, but also to inspire changes in others."
If you're ready to make a real difference in your life, read on for a few of Nelson's top tips for long-term weight loss.
- Know the facts. To take the first step toward weight loss, examine what it is about your life that caused you to gain weight in the first place. For example, in the book, Nelson cites the experiences of a woman living in Atlanta who only had access to roads made for driving, not walking, and was raised in the tradition of unhealthy Southern cooking.
Next, analyze the support you get from your friends, spouse, and job. Is healthy eating important to your spouse? What about fitness? Do you have access to fitness facilities near work? Once you understand the limitations of your lifestyle, you'll be ready to make some changes for the better.
- Understand what "healthy" means. To know what you need to fix, you first have to get a handle of what it means to have a healthy lifestyle. Nelson recommends consulting the USDA's dietary guidelines as a basis for your new, balanced diet. She also breaks down the lengthy government recommendations into four basic principles: Eat less, eat more plant-based foods, reduce your intake of added sugars, unhealthy fats, sodium, and refined grains, and increase your amount of physical activity.
Start small. To stick with your diet long-term, begin with bite-sized goals. The book suggests one-day challenges, for example, 30 minutes of physical activity in one day, one day without refined sugars, etc., as effective steps toward healthier living. Nelson also provides a simple, seven-day eating plan to jumpstart weight loss.
Surround yourself with support. This is where your social network kicks in. "Find a network with the same values and goals as you," Nelson advises. "For example, I know one woman who lost 100 pounds and was interested in running and triathlons, so she joined a running group to keep her on track." If you're not ready to train for a triathlon, do whatever works for you. For example, form a supportive walking group with coworkers or neighbors and lean on one another for the motivation to keep at it.
At home, it's essential to create an active home environment. If you have the space, store workout equipment in front of your TV, so you'll be more likely to fit in a few exercises while you watch your favorite shows. If you live with other people, work to develop a few healthy dinner staples you all like that you can whip up at any time.
- Go online for support. When we think "social network," most people probably immediately imagine Facebook, Twitter, or an online community site, such as the tools and support available on EverydayHealth.com. Although most of Nelson's research centers on face-to-face support networks, she says online resources can make a huge difference in women's weight-loss efforts. If you find your in-person social networks to be less than supportive, online friends on Facebook, Twitter, and other sites can help keep you on track.
Create a ripple effect. One of the most inspiring things you can do, Nelson finds, is use your healthy efforts to help others. Whether your new-found love of veggies inspires you to help out in a community garden or your walking group inspires a friend to train for a 5K, seeing others succeed with their health will only boost your efforts.
