Every time I go to start Saab's 9-3 SportCombi, I wind up putting the key in the wrong place. I sit there for a few confused, fumbling moments wondering where the hell I am. And then I notice the brilliant yet simple instrumentation and the unique retractable cupholder. Seated within the stylish "Swedish Modern" leather-clad seats, the entire control panel is angled around the driver, aircraft-style. And then it hits me like an aquavit tidal wave: You're in a Saab, dummy. The key is in the center next to the parking brake, right where it should be.
If you've owned a Saab before, you are in for few surprises with the SportCombi. Everything is right where it should be. Saab tends to retain its designs, rather than rush into the next big thing. In this case, that's a good thing. The 9-3 was solid at birth, and its sound genetics have aged gracefully.
We often talk about cars in anthropomorphic terms: technical Germans, passionate Italians, and determined Brits. In Saab's case (and like most of the Swedes I know), the terms steady and solid come to mind. From the moment we took the keys from J.W. Vester, Saab's answer man, the 9-3 SportCombi has left a unified impression of solidity on its drivers. You just know you're going to get there quickly and safely. Occasionally, we find ourselves wishing our destinations were further away, just to spend more time in it. Passengers tend to relax in the SportCombi the same way they do when seated in a private jet. I suppose this is a Saabism, one of those unique traits that makes a Saab a Saab. And trust me, this car is full of Saabisms, a few kind of strange but all serving to make this car a singular experience.
That we love wagons is a well-known fact. Europeans share our enthusiasm, too, where wagon variants typically out-sell their sedan counterparts 3:1. Owning a sport wagon in Europe denotes an active lifestyle, and people use their cars, accordingly. We intend to use the SportCombi to full effect. Art Director Platt has already ordered a roof rack to fit his 10-foot Bruce Jones surfboard, while Hallstrom has his eyes on a pet partition for his 80-pound Labrador. Personally, I have 300 pounds of bathroom tile waiting to be picked up. So far, the SportCombi has been relegated to high-speed cruising duties, a job you'd think it was born to do. Its pronounced aerodynamics make the Saab behave like a cruise missile, and it seems to relish autobahn duty. At 85 mph, the tach barely tickles 2000 rpm, and wind noise is negligible. The 250-bhp turbocharged V6 produces gobs of low-end torque, and it's a good idea to have a solid grip on the steering wheel before launch (yeah, there's some torque-steer). So far, we've left a good 50 feet of rubber on the local freeway onramp.
The Saab 9-3 SportCombi has proven to be a talented steed, both fast and fun to drive. Moreover, the Aero package represents a great value, given its luxury trim level. Standard features are impressive, including leather seats, 17-inch wheels, sport suspension, xenon headlamps, stability control, dual climate control, 300-watt AM/FM stereo/CD player, sport steering wheel with electronic controls, and car alarm. Show me another Euro under $40K with this many options and I'll eat an entire jar of lutefisk.
We've got a year with the SportCombi, and it's off to a solid start. The entire ec crew is happy to have a proper Swede in its stable.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those Great Cities tables... could soooo see a mismatched pair as bedside tables.
Oh, AT, you tempt us so!!!
check out the new colors... fabulous!!!!!
I emailed Eboniste 4 times and left 2 phone messages trying to place an order. Nobody ever bothered to get back to me. I took them off my "favorites" and will never try them again. There are other stores that carry the same things as Eboniste. If they are so disinterested in a designer trying to place an order then I wouldn't trust them to actually deliver.
I placed an order with Eboniste for two tables in October. I was told the items would ship in 3 weeks...the website said it would be 4-6 weeks. It's been 7 weeks. I've called, left messages, & sent emails to inquire about ship dates and received no response whatsoever.

Good value on this older board. I know a lot of people use his for park stuff,and I do too, but its base is pretty fast for a mix of snow conditions. I dig it, and this was the best price I could find on the net. If you dont have to have the latest, this is a sweet deal for an awesome older board.

We've been planning our dream weddings since we were five years old. So it's no surprise that we can't get enough of Lover.ly, a wedding inspiration site that lets you search through pics of swoon-worthy gowns, bouquets, and everything else you need for the big day. Once a week, the ladies behind Lover.ly will be sharing their best tips for getting through the craziness of the season—whether you're standing at the altar or enjoying a view of it from the audience.
If you're going retro on your wedding day or for your engagement photos, the key to not looking like you're heading to a costume party (unless, of course, you're having a costume wedding!) is subtlety. To pull this off, choose one or two vintage-inspired styles to imitate—think a vintage dress and makeup with modern hair—or do the updated 2013 version of your gown, hairstyle, and makeup. Here are four gorgeous vintage beauty looks to get you inspired.

With the sixth season of Mad Men nearing its end (cue sad cries here), the number one question on everyone's mind remains—who is Bob Benson? Theories range from agency spy to your typical brown-noser (always ready with two cups of coffee!), but we still can't say for sure. However, we do know that the talented and stylish actor who plays him, James Wolk, has a presence that's impossible to ignore.
The gents of Birchbox Man caught up with the handsome fellow to find out which Mad Men character's style he loves most, the item of clothing every man should own, and more.
Check out our exclusive interview with James Wolk in The Guide.
Can you believe it's almost Father's Day? Snag our limited edition Handsome & Hungry collection and give him the ultimate gift for grooming and grilling.
Spring is supposedly in full bloom, which means it's the perfect time to embrace tiny tweaks that result in jaw-droppingly awesome results. For some Birchbox staffers those changes might include a wardrobe refresh or a breakfast overhaul, but I always welcome a new season with a new hair color.
Inspired by Mad Men's Joan, I took the plunge and dyed my cool-toned brunette locks a warm red hue. To score the ginger-y shade, I trekked to Brooklyn's High Horse Salon and handed my lame tresses over to hair stylist Allison.
As if there weren't enough reasons to love Mad Men, the women of the show are sporting some major hair height and I can't get enough of it! Inspired by 1960s bouffant hairstyles, this week's Birchbox Intern Diaries video is a tutorial on how to get big hair with a retro twist. Watch to learn how to get this look in just a few simple steps. Are you watching Mad Men this season?

Kitchen Before & After: Julie's Outdated Kitchen Gets a Modern Makeover
Kitchen Renovation
When Los Angeles writer Julie Wolfson purchased her house, the outdated kitchen came with a "hideously ugly" tile floor and a barely functioning oven. Julie and her husband Steven wanted to remodel the kitchen before moving in, but it ended up being too big a project to tackle at the time. Now, thirteen years later, they finally have the kitchen they dreamed about.
In Julie's words:
When we finally demoed the kitchen this summer and the contractor started to pull up the tiles, it was a tough job. There were at least three layers of linoleum floor under the tiles and thick glue that destroyed the original wood flooring below that. We ended up having to pull up every thing to the subfloor. Our contractor bought wood they thought would match the wood floors in the rest of the house. They installed it unfinished and stained it dark brown. We are planning to stain all of the wood floors in the house that color soon.
We kept the layout of the kitchen and did not move any walls but demolished the walls to the stud in the kitchen. We also patched the walls and repainted in the breakfast room and added some cabinets in there as well as cabinets and shelving in the pantry/laundry room. The kitchen now has new cabinets, counters, tile, lighting, windows, and appliances.
Our favorite new element was also our splurge item: the Heath tile backsplash. We bought their Modern Basic in blue fog. We were picking from things that were in stock and fell in love with the color. We wanted to make sure to not choose anything for the remodel that was backordered. We also had the cabinet company create two glass front cabinets to display our vintage Heath dishware collection that is over 50 years old.
• Design: Steven and I designed it ourselves and worked with a contractor and Simply Kitchens to work out the plan for the cabinet layout
• Cabinets: Simply Kitchens
• Countertop: Caesarstone
• Range, Dishwasher: Thermador (Pacific Sales), Breville Smart Oven (Amazon)
• Sink: Allia fireclay sink (A.P.D.), Hansgrohe Allegro faucet (Costco)
• Tile: Heath Ceramics
• Accessories: Lucano ladder from A+R, towels from Poketo, Bauer Pottery bowls, and rabbit from Tortoise (our kitchen mascot)

So great, Julie! I am sure wonderful smells and tastes will be created in this lovely space!
Great redesign.
Beautiful! I love the color of the backsplash.
Beautiful. I am sure after 13 years it is well earned. I especially love the two glass cabinets.
Lovely! That original stove area looked so cramped. And the floor was really ugly!
I think you should flank the cooker with cupboards, it'd be safer and more practical. Otherwise the kitchen is marvelous.
What are the new cooker and dishwasher? GE?
I've just seen the brands in Resources
Looks great! The window upgrade looks like a huge improvement, too.
Great switch from lower cabinets to drawers. Expecially since you have so much room to pull them out. Nice nice work.

Absolutely lovely. The backsplash is great!
Totally gorgeous. Love the restrained colour palette. Great job!
The backsplash is SWOONTASTIC!
Did you see the doorway on one side of the cooker?
Choice of floors, counters, cabinets, tile, sink, appliances, pantry and paint all get an A+. If you don't want to be nitpicked by a stranger, then stop reading now!
Personally I probably would have done something different for the exhaust hood and surrounding area. I would have not put an upper cabinet on that wall, that cabinet is making the whole corner looked cramped. I would have gotten a hood with a T shape (instead of a Y), and ended the tile at the bottom of the hood, and capped it with a bit of wood trim. Ok, sorry to be critical -- you really did a lovely job overall, and waiting 13 years, Oy!
Lovely. I know you didn't take down walls but somehow the space on the stove wall looks larger. Love the overall color palette.
Gorgeous! So well done. :-)
Great job!
Really great!
nicely done
@LeonRoi, how would you flank the stove with cupboards? There's a door right next to one of the stoves.
@slucky - the space on the stove wall is larger! The "before" shows the stove and oven as separate units. The new stove has an oven so they opened the space next to the stove for the backsplash.
AAAAH. The cabinet next to the stove literally makes my skin crawl. What a horribly thought out 'before'! I can't imagine not having a little space next to the stove for prep (or setting down your wine glass). The new kitchen looks like a dream to cook in.
Love how you recycled, but at the same time created such a transformation.
I really like the microwave and toaster oven cubbies, but I would be concerned about the heat from the toaster oven. Has that not been an issue?
One of these days I will have an awesome gas stove.
Reason to be very proud!
By installing narrower drawers and a much narrower cooker. I'm not sure about the exact dimensions, but I'm sure they'd fit perfectly and the whole would be at least safer.
I just got a stove with continuous grates over the burners (like the one pictured, although I don't have that brand). I think that feature addresses the issue of where to put hot pots very nicely. You can slide the pots anywhere around on the cooktop, and a whole bunch will fit. This kitchen doesn't look at all unsafe to me.
That's a 36" stove, and the only other standard size in the US is 30", so I don't think it would really work to flank the stove with cabinets/counters even by making narrower ones on each side. They would have to be quite narrow and wouldn't offer much "putting down" space or much storage in the resulting cabinets. (No one in the US in a freestanding house would put in a 24" stove unless the house was extremely undersized -- really small ones like that are viewed as a major kitchen deficit and would tank any resale value. Plus they cost much more and there is little brand selection. You see them only in small apartments, houseboats and maybe vacation cabins.)

I am so happy with the fit! I was a bit worried at first because the size options were x-sm or s/m. The x-small fits perfectly and I couldn't be happier. I urge others to give it a try because you will not be disappointed!
I wore this for Halloween. My boyfriend really liked this look. I am 5'2" and 130#. I normally wear size 7 pants, B or C cups and a small or medium top, and the S/M size fit was PERFECT. It stretches, too, so it's nicely form-fitting.
The ONLY problem is the the gun holster straps do not fit my thighs. Not even CLOSE! I'll have to get black duct tape to make an extension, because it was one of my favorite reasons for buying the costume. Also, I don't have big thighs.
[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful]
It's very short but fits extremely well!!!!
I'm 5'4 130lbs and I ordered an XS, the only bad thing is the gun holster does not fit my thunder thighs!!! The straps need to be longer so it can adjust better
This costume is for my halloween party and its great, however the gun strap is to short to fit around my thighs. I am 5'6 and i bought a small/medium. Fits great, but really short. Throw some fish net tights underneath with some boots and it completes the look!

As we celebrate Memorial Day weekend, we'll pause to remember the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. It's also a great time to thank veterans for their service to our country—veterans just like World War II American hero Lew Fern. Drafted into the Army in 1941, Fern volunteered for parachute school when it was only a provisional program. "Up until that time, parachuting, you had to be a nut to jump out of a plane," Fern said. Less than two years after the attack at Pearl Harbor pulled America into World War II, Fern was making combat jumps—first as part of Operation Husky in Sicily, and later in Salerno, Italy in Operation Avalanche. Now, at the age of 95, Fern is the oldest living American paratrooper—a distinction for which he takes very little credit. "To me, it means I'm living right, and I have a God, and all things are possible through him," said Fern. Now, it's the family photo albums Lew shares with his wife of 72 years, Marion, that tell the story. In the mid-1930s before he was a soldier, Fern spent three years caddying for Babe Ruth at St. Albans Country Club in New York."He was nice," Fern remembers. "He never said a curse word in front of me. In fact, I can only remember him smoking an occasional cigar." Fern still has the key ring from Ruth's locker at Yankee Stadium from the 1923 World Championship season as a memento, but it's another lesson learned from the Babe that he carried with him his entire life. "The kids won't know until we tell them," he explained, "And that was my attitude."He's spent a lifetime sharing his personal experiences with school kids in Georgia, giving them a first-hand account of the Second World War. "There was a Pearl Harbor-- the kids' teachers didn't know anything about it," he said. "I had to bring that out, and that the United States won that war. Only I put it in stronger terms: They saved the world." And Saving the World is the name of the program that he put together to educate school kids about World War II. Although at 95, his health won't let him get out to the schools like he once did. A local author is writing a book about the very interesting life of Lew Fern, which should be out in the next three months.

SWsoft Announces First-Ever Server Consolidation Appliance Line "Magnum-SC"
April 30, 2002
Virtuozzo 2.0.2 Newly Optimized for Server Consolidation on Intel-Based Hardware; New Appliance Packages Maximize Efficiency, Flexibility, Service-Levels, Lead to 70 % Cost Savings in Data Center
SWsoft, Inc., an advanced server and networking software company, today announced the availability of its "Magnum-SC" line of server consolidation appliances (
), based on its Virtuozzo OS-virtualization technology and Intel-based servers.
Magnum-SC maximizes the efficiency of an IT infrastructure through consolidating the workload of 10 to 200 physical servers onto a single Magnum-SC appliance, thereby simplifying management and resulting in lower TCO through a 70% reduction in overall system administration costs. Flexibility is dramatically improved due to the scalability of Virtuozzo's dynamic partitioning technology that allows the OS container, or "virtual environment" (VE), in which both an OS and application run to smoothly grow from a fraction of an Intel processor up to 8 processors - with zero system downtime. This is ideal for large Intel-based servers that currently support 8-way Intel processors partitioned for multiple workgroups.
SWsoft also released
version 2.0.2 today, the power behind the Magnum-SC, with the "vzmc" GUI to allow administrators to manage hundreds of Linux Virtual Environments (VEs) across multiple servers. Administrators can now use the unique "vzmigrate" feature to automatically move an entire OS container to another server for scheduled hardware maintenance or system upgrades -- with only a few seconds of planned downtime.
While SWsoft is the leading pioneer of products for server consolidation on Intel processors, companies like IBM have established Linux server consolidation on S/390 and zSeries mainframes as a standard practice in enterprise IT departments, with the majority of Fortune 1000 companies consolidating Linux servers on IBM mainframes.
"Magnum-SC was inspired by the widespread success of Linux on the mainframe," said Dr. Alexander Tomasov, SWsoft's Chief Scientist and an expert on server consolidation technologies. "Virtuozzo is
virtualization software
that powers Intel-based processors and is the only technology flexible and scalable enough to meet the needs of both enterprise server consolidation and hosting providers."
Magnum-SC is the first drop-in server consolidation appliance to require no changes to existing software or IT processes, which does not require staff to learn new expertise. Magnum-SC appliances can be deployed by a single administrator in less than half a day, which is due to the advanced dynamic software partitioning capabilities of Virtuozzo. Software partitioning allows for faster and easier server consolidation and is clearly superior to older centralization strategies based on geographic sites and administrative tasks or complex strategies that require extensive changes to existing software.
"Our customers are looking to buy larger servers that give them greater power that let them do more in the data center," added Sean Lee, CEO of Linux infrastructure specialists, eRexi. "Using Virtuozzo's mainframe-like dynamic partitioning in the four-way Magnum-SC (based on the xSeries 250), we are recommending that more customers initially deploy four-way Magnum appliances and run an application like IBM DB2 in a partition. The customer can then easily increase the size of the partition as their need for DB2 transactions arises. This flexibility, scalability and price point make Virtuozzo the only viable choice for consolidation on the xSeries."
The Virtuozzo 2.0.2-powered Linux-based Magnum-SC server consolidation appliance (
) models include:
M30 - $10,000 - Consolidates up to 50 servers (10 suggested) and includes an IBM xSeries 330 or a Dell PowerEdge(TM) 1650
M130 - $25,000 - Consolidates up to 200 servers (25 suggested) and includes a Dell PowerEdge(TM) 6650 or an IBM xSeries 360
M230 - Consolidates up to 500 servers (50 suggested) and includes a Dell PowerEdge(TM) 8450 or an IBM xSeries 370
Cliff Hairston, a Linux systems integrator, touts the increased service levels his customers enjoy with the M230 appliance, based on Dell's 8-way PowerEdge(TM) 8450 machine. "My customers can use Virtuozzo to increase security by running one major application, such as sendmail or Apache, per instance of Linux. If a hacker breaks into or launches a DoS attack on a firm's sendmail server, the performance of Apache or DB2 is not compromised and gives me peace of mind."
Magnum-SC is the first phase of a formal effort by SWsoft to become the leader in server consolidation solutions. "Future versions of Virtuozzo and Magnum-SC will feature support for 64GB of memory, 16 CPUs, and IA64," said Craig Oda, SWsoft's VP of business development. "We've enhanced our HSPcomplete (
) solution with server consolidation features and will release both the 'SCcomplete' solution later this year and a Windows solution in the 2nd half of 2003."
For more information about the Magnum-SC server consolidation appliance or to see a demo of Virtuozzo or HSPcomplete, please see www.sw-soft.com, contact
or call 650/875-7552.
About Virtuozzo

About Server Consolidation
Enterprises are constantly faced with the dilemma of ever-changing IT requirements: increased TCO due to a failure to design-in IT growth, greater fragmentation of data and applications resulting higher complexity and costs and rising operational costs due to service outages and slowdowns that result in decreased customer satisfaction. IT managers seeking to improve the efficiency, flexibility and service levels of their organization are turning to "server consolidation", a term that covers four techniques:
location - moving servers dispersed across different divisions and offices to the same location or physical room (requires extensive planning and retraining)
logical - centralization of the system and application management functions (requires new systems and retraining)
reengineering - developing new and larger applications and systems
transparent - consolidation that does not affect IT processes or existing processes.
IBM pioneered transparent server consolidation with Linux on the mainframe using VM. The rapid adoption by thousands of IBM's S/390 and zSeries customers proved the superiority of transparent server consolidation based on software partitioning. SWsoft's Virtuozzo uses dynamic software partitioning on Intel processors and is the leading transparent server consolidation solution for users of Intel-based servers. See www.virtuozzo.com for more information.

How to Make the Right Financial Decisions
- Tuesday, March 07, 2006
And second, you've educated yourself on the basics. When you're able to give a simple explanation of your strategy to a friend and answer a few questions, you've probably got at least a beginner's grasp. The right investment step is the one where you understand what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how you expect it to improve matters. That's the least you should expect of yourself before making decisions that can dramatically affect your life and the lives of those you love. Sound Mind Investing's Fund Upgrading and Just-the-Basics portfolios are good examples of effective, yet easily understood, strategies.
• The right investing decision is one that is prudent under the circumstances. Does it pass the "common sense" test? How much of your investing capital can you afford to lose and still have a realistic chance of meeting your financial goals? The investments that offer higher potential returns also carry greater risks of loss. The right portfolio for you is not always the one with the most profit potential.
For example, it's usually best not to have a majority of your investments in a single asset or security. For that reason, people who have large holdings of stock in the company they work for often sell some of it in order to diversify. If the stock doubles after they sell it, does that mean they did the "wrong" thing? No, they did the right thing. After all, the stock could have fallen dramatically as well as risen (ask the former employees of Enron). What would a large loss have done to their retirement planning? The right investment step is the one that protects you in the event of life's occasional worst-case scenarios. Generally, this moves you in the direction of increased diversification.
Many people seem to find investing to be a nerve-racking, if not downright scary, experience. Making investment decisions, and then watching the results unfold, can be stressful. Do you become anxious when circumstances compel you to make important investing decisions? Most of us do to one degree or another. If my mail is any indication, a great degree of financial fretting is common. Three recurring comments lead the list of ways my readers express their concerns.
• "There's so much at stake. I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision."
• "I don't have much experience. I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision."
• "My savings aren't making enough now, but if I make a change I'm afraid I'll make the wrong decision."
What is the "wrong" decision, anyway? If you feel a wrong decision is like saying 2+2=5, then you're off track; such thinking implies investing decisions can be made with mathematical certainty. They can't. This doesn't mean the economy and investment markets are completely random, only that you're dealing with probabilities, not certainties and predictable events. Scientists can predict with great accuracy when the next eclipse of the sun will occur decades into the future, yet they can't tell you if the sun will be eclipsed by a thunderstorm and ruin next week's football game.
All of this is actually good news. It means anybody can play. It's like learning to drive a car. After a couple of lessons, you know enough to travel around town if you follow a few basic safety guidelines. After all, you're not trying to qualify for the Indy 500 -- you just want to reach your destination. In the same way, once you understand Sound Mind Investing's core concepts, you're fairly well equipped for making whatever financial decisions you face.

Stop Petting Piranhas
- Friday, September 16, 2011
As I present in the ReTooled & ReFueled Essential Life-Skills Seminar at churches, businesses, and other venues we find many of our problems, frustrations, failures, and disappointments are self-induced. In our more reflective moments most of us are aware of this fact. Each of us can think of bad decisions that have led to failed results both in our own lives and in the lives of others. Some of these dumb behavior patterns are so obvious we wonder why anyone would trip the trap.
Why does a seventeen year old boy fly through a busy intersection at 70 mph? Why do we over eat and under exercise? Why do people destroy their sex lives in marriage with internet porn? Even if you are personally guilty of similar bad choices, you will still admit that there is really no ambiguity here—these are clearly destructive behavior patterns. Right?
I want to delve into another destructive behavior that sneaks up on some of the best and brightest among us. I call it petting piranhas. Simply put, it's trying to have a relationship with someone who doesn't want to have one with you. This can become an obsessive thing where we end up frustrated, disillusioned, and humiliated. We read about it, in its worst forms, in news accounts of obsessed fans who stalk celebrities dreaming of becoming the celebs' best buddies.
For most people it doesn't go that far. But in truth, most of us have petted piranhas in less virulent ways—and have ended up the worse for it. And in the process we have blindly ignored other relationships that were ours for the taking.
As I write this I'm thinking of a particular speaking opportunity. For years, I felt that I had something to offer the listeners, and certainly at least as much as some of the other invited speakers. But no invitation came, so I became somewhat troubled. Had I offended someone? Did the host not like me? I played many scenarios over in my mind. Finally, I came to terms with the situation, and here are several principles that have helped me cope.
First, I've had to admit a hard truth to myself. This was more about my ego than anything else. What was I hoping that an invitation to this venue would prove or validate in my life? After all, if I'm sincerely trying to reflect and minister for Jesus, why not simply trust him to fill my calendar? My value comes from God—period, end of sentence.
Second, I decided to go out of my way to be kind to the host involved. When I have an opportunity to hear him speak, I attend. I go out of my way to speak cordially to him. Then, after the event, I usually send him a handwritten note of thanks. So far he has never responded. At first that bugged me too. But again, I had to question my own motives. Was I simply trying to curry his favor—still hoping for that elusive invitation? Or was I being sincere—attending in order to learn something worthwhile and graciously thanking him for his insights? This has helped me accept the truth that not everyone is going to like me.
It's not necessarily my fault—or theirs. The fact is, some people have better chemistry than others. That's not good or bad. That's just the way things are. For me, a pleaser, that's a hard truth. But as I've come to accept it, life has become better. It was Jesus who reminded us "that the truth shall set you free."
Life is too short to pet piranhas—because you'll never make a friend doing so. And you're likely to come up missing a couple of fingers in the process. Likewise, life is also too short to chase people who don't want to be caught. There are always lots of other fish out there. Frequently these are the ones we notice the least. But they may be the ones with the highest FQ (friendship quotient.) Truly mutual friendships are the only really good ones. Why climb to the highest limb when there's a big, red, ripe apple at shoulder level?

A few years back, that great Clermont Lounge goer and Fat Matt's Rib Shack fan Anthony Bourdain called the James Beard Awards a "self congratulatory goat rodeo/awards ceremony/chef shakedown."
Whatever your opinion of the "Oscars of Food" you must admire the PR prowess of the Foundation in creating two drum roll announcements before the winners are finally, really, ultimately revealed.

WAKEFIELD — On a rainy, gray late afternoon, Steven Grant and Richard Cook chatted in front of the Canterbury nursery school in Wakefield. The site is just about sacred for the lawyer and the psychiatrist, who were toddlers when they met at the school 33 years ago. Since then, they've been best friends and still do almost everything together.
The two work full time, but are also in the business of giving away $20 bills.

Sandwiches really do taste better when someone else makes them for you!
This is mainly because when we make food for ourselves, we get desensitized to the smell, and a large part of tasting is actually smelling.
So when you make food for yourself and eat it, it's similar to tasting without smelling.
When someone else does the cooking for you, ideally when you're in another room where you can't smell it, the result is different.
When you walk in to have your food, you get to smell and taste it at the same time, so it tastes better to you. The same principle applies to eating leftovers.
Have you ever heard someone say that a certain food tastes better the next day? It's the same idea.
Typically, leftovers are preserved in the refrigerator, so they don't give off much of an aroma until heated. So there's actually a scientific explanation behind why your pizza tastes better the next day!
"Des Moines" is actually a dirty joke.
Des Moines is a city in Iowa. Its name allegedly comes from a French derivation of "Moingoana," a Native American tribe that once lived along the banks of what is now the Des Moines River.
But as it turns out, that part's not actually true. The name was actually a joke offered to the French explorers Marquette and Jolliet in 1673.
Based on the work of several linguists, it's been discovered that "Moingoana" comes from the word "mooyiinkweena," which means "the poop faces."
It's thought that the name was actually given by the people of the Peoria village near the mouth of the Des Moines River.
When they were asked about neighboring villages by Marquette, the Peoria chief gave him "the poop faces" to throw him off.
What's even funnier is that Marquette was fluent in the language. He just didn't pick up any mischief behind it.
Cap'n Crunch used to include a prize whistle that unintentionally allowed people bypass international calling fees.
If you're old enough, maybe you'll remember this one yourself. Back in the early seventies, Cap'n Crunch came with a cleverly named "Cap'n Crunch Whistle" as a prize inside. The sound the whistle makes (which you can hear at the source) is very similar to a 2600 Hz tone. That tone just happened to be the same tone involved in long distance phone calls. A 2600 Hz tone told the At&T long lines that, basically, the long distance call had been authorized and added to the customer's bill.
Magpies hold funerals for their dead.
Dr. Bekoff, a professor at the University of Colorado, studied magpies and managed to elaborate on one very strange phenomenon.
Bekoff said the funeral-like rituals the magpies hold prove that the birds normally seen as aggressive have a compassionate side!
Dr. Seuss cheated on his wife while she was sick with cancer for 13 years. She committed suicide because of his infidelity, and he later married his mistress.
Probably not the most uplifting story for one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time, but there it is. Seuss' wife, Helen Palmer Geisel, suffered from a long series of illnesses including cancer over a period of 13 years. Eventually, Helen learned of her husband's adulterous relationship with another woman. Given that and the constant illnesses she suffered, Helen decided to commit suicide through an overdose of barbiturates.

A high school football player in Montana is making strides less than a year after a life-threatening injury.
Koni Dole returned to the field over the weekend after breaking his right leg last October during a game.
After undergoing several surgeries, his lower leg became infected and had to be amputated.
But on Friday, he was back doing what he loves, even running for two touchdowns.
"It all came back, you know, because, you know, what I though was my last play was on this field and just to overcome all this, and to be back out on the field with my teammates, is probably the best feeling I've ever had."
Dole helped the team blow out their competitors during the season opener, 45-0.

Las Vegas • If the BYU women's basketball team fails to get an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament when the selections are announced Monday, it will have 21 hellish minutes in Las Vegas to blame.
Using some ferocious defensive pressure that forced 17 turnovers and limited the Cougars to just one field goal in a stretch that lasted more than 21 minutes, top-seeded Gonzaga routed BYU 71-57 on Tuesday in the West Coast Conference women's championship game in front of 7,898 at Orleans Arena.
Gonzaga 71, BYU 57The Cougars make just one field goal during a 21-minute span and never really threaten to upset the top-seeded Zags.
» BYU shoots 30 percent from the field and commits 21 turnovers.
» All-WCC guard Lexi Eaton goes 2 of 18 from the field, 11 of 11 from the free-throw line.

"They came out and really pressured us and locked into us … and we didn't handle it very well," BYU coach Jeff Judkins said. "And that was the difference."
The Cougars fell to 26-6 and will have to wait six agonizing days to find out if they are going to the big dance or will have to settle for the NIT for the second straight year. It was the fifth tournament title in the last six years for Gonzaga (29-4), which won the rubber match after the teams split their regular-season games.
This time, the Zags left no doubt, racing to a big halftime lead with a defensive show of power that left the Cougars in a state of disbelief.
Jennifer Hamson scored eight quick points — all four shots were within a foot of the basket — and the Cougars looked like they were going to hang with the regular-season champions in the face of a huge partisan Gonzaga crowd.
Then came the drought. After taking an 8-6 lead with 15:52 remaining, BYU made just one field goal — a jumper by Kim Beeston — in the next 21 minutes, the drought lasting well into the second half. Seventeen of BYU's 21 turnovers were committed during that stretch.
Judkins said Gonzaga took advantage of BYU's inexperienced point guards and took away the Cougars' primary scoring option, Hamson. She finished with 24 points on 10 of 18 shooting, but hardly touched the ball in that stretch that included runs of 14-0 and 11-0 by the Zags sandwiched around four three throws by Lexi Eaton, who suffered through her worst shooting game in a BYU uniform.
"It was a combination of both [Gonzaga's defense and BYU's ineptitude]," Hamson said. "They picked up their defense, and we kinda lacked on our offense."
Beeston's 3-pointer with 14:18 remaining in the game finally got the Cougars going, but by then BYU was in catch-up mode. Trailing by as many as 20 points in the second half, the Cougars cut the deficit to 10 twice in the last seven minutes, but each time tournament MVP Sunny Greinacher or all-tourney picks Keani Albanez and Jazmine Redmon made a big play to right the Zags.
Hamson also made the all-tournament team.
The Cougars kept it reasonably close by going 21 for 21 from the free-throw line, a school record, and Eaton somewhat atoned for a miserable 2 of 18 shooting performance by going 11 of 11 from the line.
"You can't have one of your best players go 2 for 18," Judkins said. "That doesn't help. You gotta give them credit, they really pressured her."
Asked if his team has done enough to warrant an at-large bid, Judkins said it has and referred to BYU's "hard schedule" and second-place finish in a "good conference" which has five teams with RPIs in the top 100.
"I think we have an excellent chance," Judkins said. "We don't want to quit now."

Do you think you are free?
We are prisoners of complexities in the name of modernity, traditions, professionalism, and of many DO(s) and DONT(s).
There is no ultimate freedom in our societies. In one form or other we are bound, restricted and handicapped while in the mean time our intellect desires Infinity, freedom and power. This war leads to no way. But to self destruction.
I want to say that we should have a FREE INTELLECT. Why to follow so many, so called, Systems and Regulations, Laws and Principles if by birth we are free? You may not agree with me and call me a wild, a rebellion. But think, without having a biased mind, you will love being wild and free then civilized and bound. Don't you?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 10 2011: I would agree with you to a certain extent that we are not free.
But I also think that times are changing. We are not as blind as we used to be, partially thanks to the internet, thanks to websites like TED! The Internet as reinvented the freedom of speech. Its the uncontrollable media force which can take down goverments. They say that the revolutions in Egypt and Libya were largely due to the Internet, and is that not just something fantastic?
Look at all the Open Source initiatives (open software, open hardware, open science etc), people are realising that freedom is close, one just has to get up and do a small part of it (you're doing a small part too by posting this). Freedom does'nt start in politics, it starts with us!
Dec 11 2011: You are talking about media here. Yes no doubt it is true that media has power to bring a change or even a revolution, like in Egypt or in Libya from tweets. The thing is At one side it gives us a better way to communicate with each other while most times, it also imposes many things in our lives to which we find no escape. I mean look at our intellectual life, we are so much influenced by media. Our way of thinking, life style and even daily diets, all are "Made By Media". One other thing, they cover only public opinions not an intellect thought. Of course, sites like TED is exception here. And these are very few in number.
Still another fact is, Telecommunication media works under the supervision of governmental regularities. Sometimes Sites and channels get blocked when find working against rules and regulations. So, again we are bounded.

Adam DeVito Named AT&T Crusader Of The WeekWORCESTER, Mass. - Freshman diver Adam DeVito (Walpole, Mass.) has been named the AT&T Crusader of the Week, for competition from October 13-19. DeVito was a double event winner for the Holy Cross men's swimming and diving team in Patriot League competition against Lehigh on Sunday, October 19.

It looks like another potential "successor" to Java is on the horizon, with a Red Hat software engineer working on a language called Ceylon, which purports to fix the problems of Java but still run on the Java Virtual Machine.
Although a third party has billed Ceylon as a "Java killer," it is more likely Ceylon will join a growing list of new languages resting atop the JVM, while the Java language and platform will continue on as staples of enterprise computing. Ceylon will vie with JVM languages such as JRuby, Scala, and Jython as a new choice for developers. Java also has survived amid competition from dynamic scripting languages such as JavaScript. A recent Forrester Research report cites Java and Microsoft's .Net as remaining the most popular development platforms at businesses. This is what Ceylon is up against.
Under development by Gavin King, a JBoss Fellow at Red Hat, Ceylon is intended leverage the successes of Java while correcting its supposed failures. In presentation slides found online, King describes the goals for his new language: It would run on the JVM and feature static typing, automatic memory management, and built-in modularity. It also would strive to be easy to learn.
Ceylon arose out of frustrations with Java, such as it "being joined at the hip to XML" -- which King said hurts developers -- and the absence of a good way to design a user interface in Java. A lack of language-level modularity and issues in Java meta-programming were also cited. Frustration with the Java SE (Standard Edition) SDK is a problem, as well; King says the SDK lacks modernization, is bloated, and makes basic tasks difficult to accomplish.

Northern Colorado travels to Boulder for its 36th meeting with the Buffaloes. The Bears lead the series 18-17, although CU has won the last five. There have been only two meetings between the teams in the last 69 years, with most of the series history having been played out between 1918 and 1937. The Bears last victory against CU came at home, 25-23, February 18, 1936.
In its last two games, Northern Colorado has matched up against a pair of Pac-10 teams. Against Oregon State, the Bears led for most of the game, before an OSU bucket with eight seconds left gave the Beavers the win, 69-67.
Sean Taibi hit 7-of-12 shots to finish with a team-high 20 points, while Kirk Archibeque added 12. Marcel Jones led OSU with a career-high 35 points.
Arizona State had first-half runs of 11-0 and 14-0, en route to a 66-51 win over the Bears in Tempe.
For the first time this season, no Northern Colorado player reached double digits. Taibi and Archibeque led the team with seven points each.
Through seven games this season, Taibi is the Bears leading scorer at 14.3 per game. Archibeque is second with 11.1 ppg and a team-high 5.1 rpg.
Colorado: The Buffaloes are on a two-game losing streak, with a home loss to Wyoming (76-73) followed by a road loss to UNC-Wilmington (67-55) dropping them to 2-4. They opened the season with a 78-64 win over Denver and later won at Utah 60-59 for their only two wins thus far.
Richard Roby leads the Buffaloes in scoring at 15.3 per game. Jermyl Jackson-Wilson contributes 10.5 ppg and a team-high 8.5 rpg.
Series History: The meeting is the 36th between Colorado and Northern Colorado. The Bears lead the series 18-17, but have lost the last five. Northern Colorado's last victory was a Feb. 18, 1936 home win, 25-23. The teams have only met twice since 1937.
Going Downtown: The Bears have hit 51-of-120 3's this season, for a .425 mark, which is second in the Big Sky Conference. Colorado is allowing opponents to shoot .398 from behind the arc, which puts them last in the Big XII.
Common Opponents: The Bears and Buffaloes have only played one common opponent so far this season. CU opened its season against Denver and won 78-64, while Northern Colorado dropped a 74-68 decision at Magness Arena
Youth Movement: The Bears have been getting very good production from their freshman this season. Through five games, the five freshman (Devon Beitzel and Neal Kingman are redshirting this season) are scoring 41 percent of the team's points. Against Colorado Christian, they combined for a season-high 49 percent of the Bears' points.
Still Connected: Sean Taibi hit a 3-pointer against Arizona State, stretching his school-record of consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer to 36. Taibi connected in all 29 games last season to start the streak. This season, he has hit 20-of-41 attempts (.488), which if he continues at that clip, will best his own school record for highest 3-point percentage in a season (.435). Last season, Taibi had the best long distance shooting in school history, knocking down 84 3-pointers in establishing a new school record for a single-season (breaking the previous record of 75 by Sean Nolen). His 193 attempts were the most in school history (passing the 180 attempts by UNC Hall of Famer Derek Chaney). Taibi was deadly from long range, hitting 84-of-193 (43.5%), which ranked in the top 30 nationally during the season. At 148 career 3-pointers including this season, his third season with the team, he is already 5th in school history, just 51 away from the career mark held by Nolen.
Early Success: With their win over CCU, the Bears picked up their first victory of the season earlier than in the two previous years. Last season, they didn't pick up their first win until Decemeber 30, and in 2004-05, they got win No. 1 on November 30.
Boyle Returns Home: Who says you can't go home again? First-year Bears head coach Tad Boyle did just that in the off-season when he was named the 17th coach in program history on April 25, 2006. Boyle, who attended Greeley Central High School, spent the past six seasons as the associate head coach at Wichita State, helping the Shockers to the Sweet 16 in 2006. Boyle was a high school All-American at Greeley Central before going on to play at Kansas, where he captained the team his senior season under Hall of Fame Coach Larry Brown. Boyle is not the only new coach in the Big Sky this season, as five teams (including Northern Colorado) have new coaches this season.
Taibi Tabbed Preseason All-Big Sky By Lindy's Magazine: Junior guard Sean Taibi was chosen as a second-team Preseason All-Big Sky selection by Lindy's magazine. Taibi, who led the team in scoring last season while setting a school record for 3-pointers (84), was a first-team Division I All-Independent selection last year.
Archibeque, Kline & Taibi Near 1,000 Point Club: This season three Bears have a chance to become members of the schools' 1,000 Point Club. Junior Kirk Archibeque is just 137 points out away from 1,000 career points, while senior Matt Kline is 263 points away and junior Sean Taibi is an even 200 points away. There are currently 14 members in the Bears 1,000-Point Club, with Sean Nolen (2000-05) being the last person to join the club, doing so two years ago. The program has never had two players join the 1,000 Point Club in the same season.
You Don't Know the Players Without a Program: Fans attending a Northern Colorado game this season may need to pick up a media guide or program to know who is on the roster. Only six players (although four of those were starters) return from last year's team while eight newcomers (including seven freshmen) dot the roster.
Kline Keeps On Playing: One thing can be said about senior guard Matt Kline - he just keeps on playing. The native of Denver has never missed a game during his prep or college career. At Northern Colorado he has played in all 93 games of his career. If he plays in all 29 games this season his career total of 115 games will equal that of school record John Olander (1988-92).
Kline Helps Out: Senior Matt Kline proved last season to be a big helper last season, literally. He dished out 4.8 "helpers" or assists per game, which was second among Division I Independent players (including 6.0 assists/game in his last 16 games of the season). He twice had 10 or more assists in a game last season and entered the season ranked sixth in school history in career assists with 283. Currently he has 306. He also ranks in the top 10 in school history in career steals (10th - 89), 3-pointers made (10th - 123) and three-pointers attempted (6th - 362).
Openers: After an 81-42 loss to Ball State to open the season, the Bears are now 5-8 overall in their last 13 season openers overall, 12 of which have come in road contests. With their 96-91 loss to Colorado-Colorado Springs, they moved to 6-7 in home openers during that span.
The Early Bird Gets the Worm: Two years ago (2004-05) the Bears started the regular season with a November 11th game at Syracuse (Coaches vs. Cancer Classic). The start to a regular season was the earliest ever for Northern Colorado in its 104 (now 106) years of basketball. The Bears equaled that mark this year when they played Ball State on Nov. 11. Last season the Bears started on Nov. 13 (vs. Lipscomb at the Guardians Classic), the second earliest opener in school history, also equaled on Nov. 13, 1998 when the Bears defeated Fort Lewis 85-50.
Bears to Appear on National TV Three Times This Season: Northern Colorado fans will get to see the team in games available to a nationwide audience three different times this season. The Bears appeared on Fox Sports Rocky Mountain on Nov. 19 at Denver, and on Fox Sports Arizona on Nov. 28 at Arizona State and will appear on Altitude Sports & Entertainment on Jan. 4 when they host Big Sky foe Eastern Washington. The Bears hope to fare a little better this season in TV games, as they are 0-14 over the four seasons prior to this one in games that have been available to a nationwide audience.
Home Sweet Home: Northern Colorado is 229-154 (.598) all-time at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion, which opened on Feb. 4, 1975 (a 64-56 loss to Air Force). The Bears were 5-7 at home last season. Following their loss to Colorado-Colorado Springs (Nov. 17, 2006) this season, Northern Colorado is 21-10 all-time in home openers at Butler-Hancock in 31 seasons of playing in the building.
Tongue Tied: You may notice one name on the Bears' roster is a little longer than the others. Thanasi Panagiotakopoulos earns the honor of having the longest last name (17 letters) in school history and probably the best name in all of Division I basketball. The Phoenix native of Greek ancestry pronounces his name Thanasi (TH-nah-see) Panagiotakopoulos (Pana-Yo-Toe-CO-PO-los). His real first name, however, is not Thanasi but Athanassios. Growing up his friends and teammates nicknamed him "T-Soup" or "Soup" - short for alphabet soup (since his name was so long). Last season, Thanasi got a treat on Dec. 9 at New Mexico when his grandfather (also named Athanassios) made the trip to see him play; Thanasi scored three points in that game. His grandfather and grandmother, who live in Greece, were in the United States for the holidays. A recent CollegeHoopsNet.com website ranking listed Thanasi as having the 39th best name in college basketball (a little low in the rankings probably). No. 1 on that list? It was Stetson's Chief Kickingstallionsims, who has two more letters in his last name than Panagiotakopoulos does.
Bears Now Officially a Member of the Big Sky Conference: On July 1, 2006 Northern Colorado officially became a member of the Big Sky Conference, ending its third year run as a Division I Independent after starting the reclassification process to Division I. The team will compete against a full 18-game conference schedule, although they are not eligible for the postseason until 2007-08. Northern Colorado in the ninth member of the Big Sky, joining Eastern Washington, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, Northern Arizona, Portland State, Sacramento State and Weber State.
Bears Picked Ninth in Big Sky Preseason Poll: Northern Colorado was picked to finish in a preseason league vote by both coaches and media. In the Coaches Poll, Northern Arizona was picked first, followed by Montana, Eastern Washington, Portland State, Sacramento State, Weber State, Idaho State, Montana State and the Bears. In the Media Poll, Montana was the favorite, edging out Northern Arizona by a single point and was they were followed by Eastern Washington, Portland State, Sacramento State, Montana State, Weber State, Idaho State and Northern Colorado. It is no surprise the Bears were picked ninth, as it is the team's first season in the league, the squad has eight newcomers and the program in ineligible for postseason play until 2007-08 because of NCAA reclassification stipulations.
BigSkyTV.org: Do you want to see every Northern Colorado Big Sky (and home non-conference games) volleyball, football, men's basketball and women's basketball game this season but cannot make it to the venues? Well with a new venture this season that is possible at BigSkyTV.org. When watching the games, fans can listen to the radio audio from either home or visiting team, participate in a live chat room and view live stats. For $99.99 per year, fans will have access to events from all conference teams. If fans want to just watch Northern Colorado events for the year, they can choose the $59.99 package. If fans want access to a month's worth of events, they can pay $49.99 for conference-wide events or $39.99 for a single team's events. Individual events cost $6.99. Revenues from subscriptions to the Northern Colorado feed go to the athletic department.
Bears Home Gets an Upgrade: A new conference is not the only thing the Bears have new about the program this season, as they move into the newly renovated Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion this season. The program's home since 1976, the building got a makeover as part of a $16 million dollar student fee referendum (that also including improvements to Jackson Soccer Stadium, Butler-Hancock Athletic Center practice fields, Butler-Hancock Tennis Complex and the addition of a practice gym). Butler-Hancock, which opened in 1976, received brand new theater-style chair back seats, a new sound system, scoreboard/message center and new entrance among other things, in helping to spruce up the building that is now over 30 years old.
Bears Radio Network: This season you can hear every Northern Colorado basketball game on the Bears' Radio Network. Newstalk 1310 KFKA in Greeley is the flagship station and KFKA's Troy Coverdale will have the play-by-play call all season long with a pre-game show starting 30 minutes before tip-off.
