Finally I can start wearing my white short shorts again. I love the summer time.
The plot of "The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)" is being kept under lock and key but the news that the film will feature a 500 person long ATM showboat along with a casting call sheet that implies the film will take place in a prison has got us all in a flutter. No confirmation on if the rumors are true but let's be honest, we'll all be sobbing when the final credits roll so it doesn't really matter how it happens. Kind of like when you saw "Return of the Jedi" and you realized the saga was over.
Good news nerds! The "Day of the Dead" Blu-ray has finally been given a release date. September 17th is the day you'll be able to get your grubby hands on the flick, which is actually been released before, but with a crappy ass transfer that looked like it was being played on a silver VCR or something. This version will also be chock full of special features to get you all giddy over. You see the original VCRs were silver. That's the joke here. A silver VCR would be super old.
Spike Lee's "Oldboy" remake has gotten itself a new release date in the form of October 25th, 2013. That just so happens to be the same release date as "Paranormal Activity 5". I know. Drama! I think the important thing to keep in mind here is that we may not have to watch "Paranormal Activity 5" for the podcast now. I will begin drafting my thank you letter to Spike Lee immediately.
Looks like there's a solid chance that the Eli Roth produced Netflix series "Hemlock Grove" will get a second season. Nothing is confirmed but a higher up at Netflix noted that they're looking at pitches for the second season and looking for a storyline. I have no idea if this is good news or not. Let's just comment on how Eli Roth is a charming son of a bitch and move on.
Here's a heartwarming story about a North Carolina woman who had her son arrested for stealing her Pop Tarts. If they were the chocolate ones I think I understand this. If it was strawberry this whole thing is stupid.
Who says meth heads are all bad? Why here's a Mississippi man who was all whacked out but still had the thoughtfulness to want to make sure his dog got into heaven. Of course he set his dog on fire to help him get there but still, his heart was in the right place.
The problem with all this coffee I drink is that it makes me have to pee every ten minutes. I feel like I get up from my desk and go and by the time I get back I have to go again. I'm two days away from just wetting myself.
Kevin Williamson, the guy who penned the script for "Scream" catastrophes has just landed Maggie Grace, of "I don't understand why everyone thinks Maggie Grace is so hot" fame, for his new serial killer series. She'll play the lone survivor of the serial killer who's on the loose and being hunted by the FBI. "Lost". She was apparently on "Lost" at some point too. I never watched that show. I heard the ending was stupid. Good talk.
Rapper, producer and medical student Dr. Dre has decided to toss his hat into the horror ring with a new "best in the snow" chiller that's being cooked up for his Crucial Films production company. Vik Weet (don't know him) will pen the script and Daniel Schnider (not a clue) will co-producer with Dre.
George Orwell's classic novel "1984" is once again being prepped for a big screen adaptation. Word has it that Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are tag teaming the flick and currently looking to get it off the ground. No word on who will direct or write the script but this is one of the books I actually read in High School so I for one am excited.
One time when I was working really late my wife came into the city to pick me up, cause she's awesome and does nice things. We hit a bunch of traffic at the Holland tunnel and while we were sitting there I looked at the large SUV sitting next to us and there was Famke Janssen in the passenger seat. Apparently her and whoever was driving got sick of the traffic and decided they had the right to hop the curb and make a u-turn. I rolled down the window and yelled "Just because you're Famke doesn't mean the laws of the road don't apply to you!" She smiled at me and I will forever love her. On top of that she's also been cast in Eli Roth's new Netflix exclusive series "Hemlock Grove". Good story, huh?
Police in NYC are looking for a 400 pound man who is suspected of groping an 11 year old girl in a Dunkin Donuts. I'm no Columbo but I'd bet money that fat SOB will return to the scene of the crime pretty soon for some more Boston Creme.
A strange unexplained outbreak in Uganda is turning the children into zombie like monsters. Seizures, violent behavior, personality changes, and a bunch of other wacky symptoms are said to associated with the illness which as of right now has no cure. I assume this guy has something to do with it.

Oilers at Avalanche, G17, 09-10
In Quebec province the men go about their business in about the same way as guys do in this part of the country. Always time for a beer or a glance at a pretty girl, always time to talk some Canadian football (believe it or not, Quebec is the new heartland of Canadian football) and hockey holds a special place.
I've never really been able to get behind any kind of animosity toward Quebec province with regard to politics.
The one political item I do care about with regard to Quebec is the return of their beloved Nordiques. Quebec's hockey team always had a personality, a flare, a passion. The really good Nordique teams were fearsome, and those teams played some of the very best hockey the 1980′s had to offer. Their fans loved them just as much as I love my Oilers (I believe that) and in a part of the world where the NHL means the world it is simply bullshit these people don't have their own team. Bettman's done a lot of good and bad things in his time as NHL front man, but if he returned the NHL to Quebec city, Winnipeg and even added a club in Southern Ontario it would do wonders for his legacy and "right an historic wrong."
When the WHA folded into the NHL, the following teams survived: Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, Quebec Nordiques, Hartford Whalers. It should be mentioned that the teams who voted against the merger were the Vancouver Canucks, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins and Los Angeles Kings. Since 1979-80 (the first season for the 4 new clubs) those 5 franchises have won a total of 2 Stanley's (Montreal, 1986, 1993).
The WHA kids? Edmonton (5), Quebec (2) and Hartford (1). Winnipeg (now Phoenix) dominated the WHA era but have never been able to find sound ownership despite having some wonderful teams along the way.
The Oilers are a mess. Horcoff, Hemsky, Jacques and a thing called "hope" were not on the plane as the team sped off for Denver. According to the Oilers website, this is what we're looking at in terms of lines:
- Gagner-Penner-O'Sullivan
- Brule-Comrie-Nilsson
- Cogliano-Pisani-Reddox
- Potulny-Moreau-Stortini
- Glimmer Twins
- Strudwick-Staios
- Visnovsky-Chorney
Smid is on the trip but still has flu like symptoms (did this guy hit a Legionnaires' convention in Philadelphia recently?) so is unlikely to play. No word on the goalie, this might be a good game for JDD but it'll probably be the Bulin wall.
I think it is interesting that Quinn has Potulny at center. There are other options (O'Sullivan, Comrie) but I also think the coach might be looking for someone to add more skill to the 4line. Should Potulny (or Reddox) perform well, this could be the end of the line for Robert Nilsson and Steve MacIntyre. I don't think it's clear at this point who the team will send away once bodies begin to get healthy.
The Edmonton Oilers are not in a very good place right now.

Bunco for Breast Cancer is an annual fundraiser benefiting the Hope Fund at Vera West Women's Center at Hendrick.
The Hope Fund mammography assistance program was established in 2001 to help women unable to afford preventative breast cancer screenings.
Over the course of a lifetime, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and a growing number of Big Country residents are diagnosed each year. We believe all women deserve the resources and tools needed to protect themselves from breast cancer regardless of ability to pay. Early detection can mean the difference between life and death, and the Hope Fund is committed to ensuring all women have access to life-saving mammograms.
Since 2001, Bunco for Breast Cancer has raised over $300,000 to fund mammograms for women of the Big Country.

great pedals
By pedalpusher
from Bishop, CA
About Me Avid Cyclist
Comments about Shimano A530 Sport/Touring Road Pedal:
have these on two different road bikes. They have a little wider platform which makes them more comfortable on long rides. If weight counts then you would probably not want these but I think they are perfect.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product for the price.
Great pedals!
By mark
from Hurst, texas
These are great pedals at a great price. Perfect for my commuter bike. Also, prefect if you want to hop on for a quick errand or just ride around the neighborhood.
2nd pair
By Fritz
from Iowa
This is my 2nd pair of A530 pedals. Both bikes I have them on are mostly worn with SPD shoes, but occasionally may need the "regular pedal" side for other shoes. These fit the bill

Right price for performance
By DMAC
from Detroit, MI
I ride my comfort bike about 500 miles a year as secondary / family bike. When our 10yo wants to go for a ride - just go, no waiting to change keens to spd shoes. These pedals fit the bill. If I were to change one thing - it'd be to design the platform to have better grip pattern. But for the pedal price it is what it is......

A pedal for the rest of us....
By Ol'Bob
from Panacea, FL
I believe that most of us would ride more if we don't separate riding from the rest of our normal lives. I like to be able to ride in what I have on now. I don't ride like a bike racer so I don't try to look like one. I can take off to the Post Office in my flip flops, boat shoes or whatever and still snap in for my Sunday morning ride with my buddies.
Great pedals for my mountain bike.
By echale3
from Roanoke, VA
These pedals work great for their intended purpose, which is to allow me to use either my mountain biking shoes or my regular shoes to ride my bike. I don't need to clip in to ride a little in the neighborhood, but for going down to the YMCA to work out or for longer rides, I like being able to clip in.The clipless side is easy to adjust the tension on, to clip in to, and twist out of. When I'm clipped in, it really improves my pedaling efficiency.I wish that the bearings on the pedals were not adjusted quite so tight, so that the pedal would spin a little more freely. One of the things I liked about these pedals when reading various online reviews was that the pedals supposedly will auto-rotate so that the clipless side is always up, but the bearings on the ones I have are too stiff for that to happen. The bearings don't appear to be user-adjustable. I've not had them installed long, so it may wear in a bit over time and loosen up a tad.All in all, though, a nice, handy pedal!
hazardous exit
By diego
from Roseville, CA
First time out the factory adjustment was tight. Losened adjustment and off I went. A couple near mishaps exiting my cleats wouldn't exit smoothly I pulled out the screw some more and lubricated well. Still jerky entering/exiting could be my old cleates but not having this issue with another SPD pedals. Use the platform for city riding and needing quick exit terrain.
Merchant response: Hi Diego,Make sure the sole of your shoe is not rubbing the pedal body, preventing smooth exit. - Bike Nashbar

Great pedal design, terrible axle
By BummedTourist
from Atlanta, GA
Bike touring is my interest. This is the most frustrating product. The platform and SPD are excellent. This is a great design for the commuter. Slip your cleat out and your shoe still fits on the platform side securely when you come to a hazard. However, two different pair have died almost instant deaths. The first pair had a slightly out of line treading on the axle. within a month the pedals began to click insesantly. Freak. Bought another pair and these seemed to be made correctly. However, in less than 100 miles. The left pedal has a noticable click that can be felt through the pedal and both click at various times. The axle, the cheap plastic sleave and the tiny bearings are junk in my opinion.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

Veena Malik will be seen next in 'Super Model'
She earned the tag - Femme fatale - after revealing that Pakistani cricketer and ex-boyfriend Mohammad Asif was involved in match-fixing. Her act of bravado paved way for her entry into the reality show, 'Big Boss 4', where she wowed audiences with her demure yet flirtatious demeanour. Post the show, she remained in the news for her on-off relationship with fellow 'Bigg Boss' contestant Ashmit Patel.
After lying low for most of 2011, she again invoked her Femme fatale avatar and reportedly posed nude, with an ISI tattoo on her arm, on the cover of a men's magazine. Claims of morphing aside, the controversy has given the much need boost to her film career as she has been roped to star in 'The City That Never Sleeps' and 'Rabhasa'.
Here are some rare and hot snaps of the 'Femme fatale from Pakistan', who will be seen next in 'Super Model'.

It works!
- (20 / Sep / 2014)
This stuff definitely works when used to clear up my blocked sinuses (made worse by living with a smoker!!). I tried it because I read about its use in hospitals to clear uo blocked lungs and mucus generally, and it might protect against the effects of smoke. So I thought it might work on my nasal passages too. I get an unblocked nose and my sense of smell and taste back again. So basically it works for me for that particular problem. Takes a couple of days. I don't like taking anything all the time so I have breaks - and then take it when needed. It can deplete zinc and copper so taking a multivitamin makes sense.Goes Well With:B2, Vitamin C
A 'must have' supplement!
- (05 / Apr / 2014)
They give you this in hospital, before heart surgery to protect you from the damaging effects of the heart-lung machine. If it can do that it must be good! (I write from experience with that too!)Goes Well With:Open heart surgery! ;)
- (03 / Mar / 2014)
Excellent service as I received in two days,
Excellent communication as I received two e-mail up-dates and a tracking number
Excellent product as it only has NAC and nothing else
Measuring spoon is very handy
It does not taste good but it is not suppose too. As I didn't want anything other than NAC it does not matter to me others can mix it with orange juice
Goes Well With:Whey isolet
- (28 / Feb / 2014)
I use this product for it's liver detox benefits. Great product, bad taste, but who cares?
- (11 / Feb / 2014)
Good quality product at a good price, quickly delivered and I recommend this company as I have always had good products from them and received orders asap. It tastes horrible as it should - I put it in capsules and enjoy the benefits of this excellent supplement without having to taste it - smells like bad eggs. I find that NAC is very good for my lung problems, clears up too much thick mucus and seems to protect me from colds, flu and lung infections. Also good to take if you have to take paracetamol as it protects the liver from damage.

over all good but doesnt taste good tastes like acid doesnt mix well and need to wait about 5-10min for it to soak in to the water.
But it does the job i feel abit better and faster recovery
Tart but healthy
- (06 / Dec / 2013)
This is something that will do you good, best to read up on the benefits as there are many. I'll use it with effervescent vitamin c to help with the taste as it is very sharp on the tongue.Goes Well With:Vit c
NAC and liver damage
- (06 / Nov / 2013)
There is some disagreement over the liver damage/protection properties of NAC in the reviews here. NAC is the preferred treatment for paracetamol overdose and will protect your liver, except from when you have consumed alcohol and is still intoxicated. The research I have come across concludes that NAC will contribute to liver damage when you are in the state mentioned. But a great product by any means.
Excellent stuff!!!
- (23 / Jun / 2013)
I used to wake up sore and tired every morning. Now I take a teaspoon of N Acetyl L Cysteine stuff at night and I wake up feeling fresh (not sore or tired anymore). This stuff is amazing.Goes Well With:Water

N Acetyl L Cysteine is very good quality, with excellent mixability. I already ordered 7 bags of 100g and I will order more soon.
Good product
- (04 / Apr / 2013)
Product arrive quickly the taste I am not sure of as I mix it in with my protein shake, but I mixes well and blends in well with what product you mix it with.
- (01 / Apr / 2013)
It's hard to say if N Acetyl L Cysteine has been effective as it is purely used as an antioxidant. Be prepared for a very acidic taste, I use it with dispersible Vitamin C tablets for extra effect and improved taste.

Sorry Terence Hughes! I meant Stephen Stannard RE: strange reference to liver damage as opposed to treating damaged livers.
call out
I'm only writing this to call out Terence Hughes who wrote something in his review about NAC "being known to" cause liver dysfunction according to medical papers he has read. From what I have seen, one of NACs key medical uses is TREATING liver failure. Always check these things for yourself with your doc.

"i use this cause I have bipoer disorder, i find that its amazing, the price is amazing, i have found my condition has improved, and will always continue to buy from you i have 1 teapoon a day ,and have found that the effects were the same as in the research papers i have been reading on this supplement and bipolar, thank you for stocking this as cheep as you do, "
Stephen Stannard
- (14 / Feb / 2011)
"I agree with all the reviews here, and find it excellent value for money and effectiveness. However, again after having read many medical papers, I supplement this with Silymarin (Milk Thistle) at a rate of 1ml liquid form in a little water 3 times a day, since NAC is known to cause Liver dysfunction in some people and Silymarin guards against that."
The best antioxidant
- (31 / Jul / 2008)
"Forget about vitamin c, NAC is THE most important antioxidant you can supplement with. It is used routinely in hospitals to treat liver poisoning because it is so good at detoxifying the liver, which is great if you have had a heavy night on the booze, or you are using oral AAS / PH's. It also is a potent brain antioxidant, and been shown to neutralise the neurotoxin salsolinol found in stuff like chocolate which has been linked to Alzheimers. It tastes fine and mixes easily."
An excellent antioxidant
- (04 / Jan / 2008)
"An excellent product, NAC supplementation increases glutathione, an important antioxidant and has benefits for the immune system.\n\nComes as a pungent smelling heavy crystalline powder, you won't notice much physically when supplementing with NAC, but can rest assured that it is working to keep you healthy in the background."

Making Noise About Mental Health
When we look back on university, we see it through rosy lenses, as a time of stimulation and excitement, where anything seemed possible.
It can also be a time of danger. Mental illness most commonly strikes those under the age of 24. A new environment, new challenges – and new responsibilities – plus the stress of wanting to do well can trigger psychological problems. Troubled students may not know where to turn. Others may not see their peers struggling.
jack.org wants to help. Dedicated to informing young people about mental health it was founded by Eric Windeler, Com'82, and named for his son Jack, a first-year Queen's student who died by suicide in 2010.
"We believe that there were indications that there were changes in his behaviour," Windeler says, "but the people he was around – students, teaching assistants, dons – didn't have the tools to recognize what he was going through."
"I was astounded by how little discussion there was around this subject. Something had to be done to make this a mainstream topic."
In the fall of 2012, Principal Daniel Woolf signed an agreement to bring The Jack Project to Queen's. "jack.org," as it is now called, is engaging with student leaders and the administration to create programs that will be student inspired and aimed at young people to help them talk openly about mental health. In March 2013, the project sponsored the first-ever student summit on youth mental health, "Unleash the Noise." Drawing students from more than eighty-five schools across Canada, the conference was entirely student-inspired and led. Eleven of the twelve key organizers were students from Queen's.
Students aren't the only members of the Queen's community to have taken jack.org to heart. At last year's reunion, the class of 1982 made it their beneficiary charity, attracting more than 175 donations. The class of '83 plans to follow their example.
"If alumni are moved to contribute that's great," says Windeler. "But if they've got young people in their family or their extended family, please make them aware of this important discussion."

scubadivingpandas asked I had lots of fun following you, thanks for all your posts!
Awh, thanks for the appreciation; it means a lot.
If you guys want to see some more lol check out this blog, followed.
farewell, it was a good run.
As I'm sure some of you might have noticed that this blog hasn't been updated daily for a while now, the time has come that I stop updating this blog completely.
It was fun to run for awhile, don't get me wrong, I was dedicated as shit to this thing for a cool while. The rush was great but then it became a chore almost and eventually I just stopped caring.
I started this blog in 2009, a time when tumblr was different. It is almost impossible now for a blog that posts once a day to get notoriety. I could post more, but honestly why?
Basically my original intentions for this blog and the kind of humor that I found funny was shied away from in order to appease the followers. I started to post content that I didn't find funny. Some of you need to relax and not take the internet so seriously. If I posted anything offensive I was sure to know about it. Lighten up.
I'm not going to delete it, I'm just going to let it sit there. I'm sure people will still stumble upon and hopefully get a few laughs. A few years from now this content will be forgotten as the internet continues to shit out new memes daily.
For those that laughed with me thanks, for those that didn't laugh go fuck yourselves. lol.

The Hybrid™ marching snare side head offers the best of both worlds producing the sound and sensitivity of a polyester bottom with a resistance to stretch that is closer to Kevlar.
Evans Hybrid Marching Snare Side Head
Drum Corps and marching bands have long chosen to use Kevlar bottom heads due to their durability despite a preference for a more open and sensitive sound. Traditional polyester bottom heads, despite their positive sound characteristics, stretch out too quickly and need replacement frequently. The Hybrid snare side offers the best of both worlds. By imbedding high tensile fibers in an open weave pattern between two ultra-thin layers of clear film, the Hybrid marching snare side head produces the sound and sensitivity of a polyester bottom with a resistance to stretch that is closer to Kevlar.

IRVING — Brian Waters made his last start in Super Bowl XLVI to end the 2011 season. His next start could come Sunday.Waters took first-team snaps at right guard Wednesday, an indication he is ready for a full workload instead of alternating with Mackenzy Bernadeau. "That's the goal — to try to make it through a whole game," Waters said. "We'll see how it goes. Obviously, Mack will be ready to go. I think we're all confident he'll be ready to go if anything happens so we'll see how it goes."Waters signed with the Cowboys on Sept. 3 after sitting out last season. He was inactive for the season opener and played four series in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He and Bernadeau alternated series last week against St. Louis, with Waters getting 31 of 62 snaps."I've still got a ways to go," Waters, 36, said. "That's still going to be the way I look at it. I'm always going to be my hardest critic, so I feel like I still have a way to go."Hatcher's futureThe Cowboys plan on defensive tackle Jason Hatcher, 31, being a part of their future. Hatcher, in the last year of a three-year, $6 million deal, is having a career year with 11 tackles, three sacks and eight quarterback pressures."I would have hope we have Hatcher in the future, because he is playing at a high level," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "We have always thought he had excellent size, excellent athletic ability and real skill at rushing the passer. That's hard to find in a player. He's got it, and it's showing up."Spencer's futureThe Cowboys franchised Anthony Spencer each of the past two seasons. They are paying him $10.6 million this season despite having to put him on injured reserve Wednesday, but Jerry Jones said he doesn't regret the decision to keep Spencer, who played 34 snaps this season. "That's just the life we've chosen, so I don't in any way second guess the commitment we made to him because of the caliber of player he was," Jones said. "We certainly would like to have those dollars, but I'd rather have Spencer than those dollars. I can't look at it as the obvious. Anytime something doesn't work out, I can't look at it that way. On the other hand, I can tell if anybody was going to get the money under these circumstances, I'm glad it's him. He's worked hard. He's that quality individual and that quality player."Spencer, the Cowboys' defensive MVP in 2012 with a career-best 11.5 sacks, becomes a free agent in the off-season. But he turns 30 in January and will be rehabbing from another surgery on his left knee. Still, Jones said the Cowboys have interest in re-signing the first-round pick in 2007."He's very accomplished, got great experience," Jones said. "In a matter of speaking, just coming into his own and will be a great complement, if we can go that way, to [DeMarcus] Ware in the future."Bryant finedThe NFL fined Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant $7,875 for a throat-slash gesture after his first-quarter touchdown. Bryant was penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. He said Wednesday he would appeal."It's worth a try," Bryant said. The NFL banned the throat slash in 1999.Defensive tackle Jason Hatcher said he was not fined for a roughing the quarterback penalty.Injury updateDeMarcus Ware (neck) was limited in practice Wednesday, while Miles Austin (hamstring) and Dwayne Harris (hip) stayed on the stationary bikes in missing practice. Morris Claiborne (shoulder) and Ernie Sims (groin) were full participants.

As runners, we are confronted with the dangers of heat, since most locations have at least some periods in which the weather will be warmer than ideal for running. Not wanting to curtail our training during these times, we should make modifications to ensure that we are safe in warmer weather. The following are some tips to help deal with the heat.
75% of the body's weight results from H2O. Proper hydration before, during and after a run is critical in warm weather, because we lose a great deal of water through sweat. Fast fact: just a brisk walk in heat will generate up to 16 ounces of sweat (a pound of water). Failure to properly replace these fluid levels can lead to dehydration, manifested by cramping, nausea, heart palpitations and lightheadedness. When running, we should take a few small sips of water or replacement drink every 15 minutes or so as opposed to waiting until we feel thirsty. Once we begin to feel thirsty, we have already started to become dehydrated. After a particularly heated run, we should weigh ourselves and drink 16 ounces of water or replacement drink for each pound lost during the course of the run.
Runners are also advised to consider using sports replacement drinks instead of water when running in warm weather to help prevent hyponetrimia (a lower than normal salt concentration in the plasma) which can develop when the runner drinks too much water and the blood becomes diluted. We lose a great deal of salt through sweat and not replacing this salt can cause headaches, nausea and in severe cases, vomiting. Runners who only drink water during the race put themselves at risk because they are not replacing the salt that the body needs. Drinking sports replacement drinks which contain electrolytes can help the body to avoid becoming depleted of sodium.
Dressing comfortably is important. The clothing worn in warm weather conditions should be lightly colored and constructed of fabrics which are both lightweight and breathable. This will help to keep us cooler. Investing in gear constructed of fabrics that pull moisture away from the skin will also help to keep us more comfortable and prevent potential problems.
Exposure to the sun is also a concern when running in warm weather. Wearing a lightweight, breathable hat can help keep the sun off the face without causing us to overheat. We should always wear sunscreen to protect the skin in warm weather. There are several brands of sunscreen available which are designed specifically for use by runners and other athletes, because they are less likely to drip into the eyes and cause stinging or burning.
Small precautions will not only keep us safe, but will ensure faster, which is always funner.

Boston artists wanted for PaintBox, ArtBarrier projects
The Boston Art Commission is on the hunt for two local artists to add "color and vitality" to the city's urban landscape.
ArtBarrier, a new program, is looking for a Boston graphic designer to help decorate concrete Jersey barriers located on public roadways throughout the city.
The designer will work with Boston Shines volunteers on April 27, during an annual citywide cleanup event.
Another artist is wanted for PaintBox, a program that launched in 2008, and has since led to the painting of more than 80 utility boxes throughout the city.
"Street art is a valid art form," said Boston Art Commission Director Karin Goodfellow. "It's a good reminder that we have all these fantastic creative artists in Boston."
Artists can apply through publicartboston.com.

Some NFL teams will be using the iPad for playbooks this year
Football season is upon us with pre-season underway. The NFL is adapting to technology for the 2011 season. Several teams have signed on to use the iPad as their official method for players to view their playbook.
No longer will players have to lug around a thick playbook. Viewing plays, game videos, remote conferences, communication and the like will all be possibilities with their iPads. Each player will be issued one by teams using the iPads and if they happen to lose their iPad, it won't be a season killer because an admin can easily wipe the data from that device and just issue a new one.
Another positive is no more paper, so it's eco-friendly for you all green folks out there! NFL teams appear to be paying full price for the iPads at $500 a pop. I am not sure why the NFL as a whole didn't strike a large deal with Apple, but since only a few teams are doing this individually, that is probably the reason. So far the Ravens, Falcons and now the Buccaneers will be using iPads this season.

The original liquid nutrition line, Tropical Oasis is one of the pioneers in the liquid nutrition industry. Due to the high absorbability of liquid nutrition, health conscious consumers choose Tropical Oasis over other brands.
Availability: Usually Ships Within 24-48 Hours
Tropical Oasis - Liquid Calcium Magnesium Orange Flavor - 32 oz. (960 mL)
Tropical Oasis Liquid Calcium Magnesium Orange Flavor is a supplement that your body can use. Buying dense calcium pills that your body can't process and absorb is worthless to your body and a waste of your money. Calcium deficiency results largely from poor absorption. You may intake enough calcium, but if your body can't absorb it, you can still become deficient. Remember that your body can only absorb minerals that are "ionized."
What does it mean when the label says "Elemental Calcium"?Elemental Calcium is a term used for pure calcium. However, pure calcium is not available in nature. When purchasing calcium supplements, be sure to look for the elemental calcium content, not the total content.
Why is this so important?It is important that your supplement be bio-available which means it can be absorbed and used by your body. Example: A tablet that contains 1250 mg of calcium carbonate, actually contains 500 mg of elemental calcium, plus 750 mg of "carbonate". After you take the product, these are separated with the carbonate being digested and the elemental calcium portion entering the blood stream to be used in biochemical functions such as building strong bones.
An honest label clearly represents the actual amount of elemental calcium the product will provide. Some products, although technically not mislabeled, appears to offer much more calcium than is actually provided and is very often misunderstood by consumers. Tropical Oasis believes in giving the consumer the most accurate information to allow the consumer to make informed choices.
About Tropical OasisTwo Brothers, One Vision: To bring their customers better health and quality of life through proper nutrition.
You try to eat nutritious, natural, and healthy foods, but consistently eating a balanced diet is hard to do. Their goal is to provide you with quality nutritional supplements to complete your healthy diet and give your body everything it needs to stay healthy and youthful.
They want you to know them, their products, and their mission.
Dear Friends,Seldom do we know where the things we buy come from or why they were made. I feel it is important to tell those stories, and for that reason I would like to share with you their story and the reasons why they founded Tropical Oasis.
In 1996, I was a struggling young salesman working out of my 1970's house in smoggy Houston, Texas. I remember contemplating my uncertain future as I sat in my drab spare bedroom/converted sales office, sipping on my daily dose of coffee. Little did I know that the coffee I was sipping, as well as everything I consumed made with my tap water, was slowing poisoning my system. Over the three years I had been in the house, I attributed my lagging speed and draining energy to job pressure and just getting older. Then, I discovered that the rusting iron pipes under my house had been leeching contaminants into every drop of water I drank.
My brother Terry was living in Dallas at the time, and when I told him what had happened, he immediately sent me a bottle of liquid vitamin and minerals and insisted I start taking it as soon as it arrived. Soon after, I started feeling better, but then I broke out into a severe red rash all over my body.
Worried about the rash and what could be causing it, I started researching nutrition, toxins, and contaminants. What I found was that my body was going into the first stages of detoxification with the help of the liquid supplements I was taking. After this experience, I realized the power and benefits of liquid nutritional supplements and delved deeply into learning more about nutrition.
With my passion for more knowledge, I became a certified nutritional counselor and continued researching and reading all the latest studies regarding nutrition and dangerous toxins in our food supply, a practice I continue today. I saw a true need to create liquid supplements based upon the idea of cellular nutrition to battle the onslaught of toxins in our industrial world. And with that vision, together with my brother, they founded Tropical Oasis.
A few years later, Inc. 500 listed Tropical Oasis as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America, and they haven't looked back since. They still hold true to their vision and strive to create the most effective supplements with the highest quality, natural ingredients available. They don't wait for government regulations to tell us something is unhealthy; they stay proactive to protect their health and yours. Each day brings new advancements and improvements that they continually incorporate into their product line. With over 20 products manufactured here in Texas, USA, you can feel safe knowing that products from Tropical Oasis are what they take for themselves and for our families.
From all of us at Tropical Oasis, thank you for your trust and they wish you and your families the best of health!

They're eyes were not modified with CGI. - Kellan Lutz kept his haircut from the movie "Generation Kill". It didn't grow back in time for Twilight so he kept it that way. - Almost all actors are wearing wigs: Ashley Greene, who plays Alice, Peter Facinelli who plays Carlisle, Nikki Reed who plays Rosalie and Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob. - First choice for Edward was actor Henry Cavill, personally suggested by Stephenie Meyer. However, Henry was too old to play Edward when preproduction began. He was offered the role of Carlisle, but he passed. - Catherine Hardwicke made Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart read for the meadow scene in her own bed. - Robert Pattinson is compossing a song for Bella's lullaby.

Conservation Partners
|Cabela's is dedicated to preserving your way of life not because it is our business, but it is our way of life as well. Like Cabela's, these organizations are dedicated to conserving the fish, game and wild places that are our heritage. From the bugle of a Rocky Mountain elk to a splashing trout, Cabela's is proud to be associated with these fine conservation organizations.
Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association was to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis." While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the NRA has, since its inception, been America's premier firearms education organization.
NRA is also the largest pro-hunting organization in the world. Through direct lobbying, hunter recruitment programs and grant funding for conservation projects, there is no single group doing more to defend our freedom to hunt than NRA. Committed to teaching young people the safe, responsible use of firearms since its beginning, NRA continues to expand that training through the Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC). YHEC is an advanced hunter education program that allows youngsters to build on the skills they learned in state- or provincial-level hunter safety courses. YHEC now trains more than 50,000 young hunters every year--and NRA deeply appreciates the foresight of Cabela's to include YHEC in the Add a Buck Program. By adding just one dollar, or multiples of whole dollars, to your Cabela's checkout total, you can help NRA continue to develop competent, ethical hunters and maintain America's passion for hunting.
Learn more about what NRA does for hunters at www.nrahuntersrights.org.

Formed to protect the interests of sportsmen, the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus stands strong in support of hunting, fishing and conservation. More than half of the members of the United States Congress, representing nearly every state, are affiliated with the Caucus, providing an identified group of allies that can quickly be called into action. To learn more about the CSF go to www.sportsmenslink.org.

Headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, USA Shooting has a full-time staff dedicated to furthering the sport and supporting athletes and members of the organization. The organization has a USA Shooting News magazine publication, as well as public and member specific web sites.
Partially funded by the U.S. Olympic Committee, USA Shooting relies on donations from supporters of the Olympic Movement, membership dues, event fees and the corporate partners who take a strong interest in the development of the U.S. Shooting Team.

I love dessert, but I love cheese even more. So when it comes to making dinner for friends, I make sure a cheese course is on the menu. And with the explosion of artisan cheese makers around the country, that cheese course has become more exciting than ever.
For today's cheeses, I went to Murray's Cheese Shop in Manhattan. Murray's is certainly not the only store in New York City that carries an extensive selection of American artisan cheeses, but the cheerful staff know their cheeses like their apron pocket, and that's what I was after.
My intent was to select five artisan cheeses from New England that I'd never tasted before, and pair them with Gourmet Attitude's stunning Truffle Honey. Then I thought, why not serve the cheeses with a local wine? Local all the way!
It turns out that it wasn't a wine that I ended up pairing my spectacular cheese course with, but a hard cider from Farnum Hill Ciders.
As we savored every morsel of cheese, every drop of honey and every sip of cider, it struck me that artisan products made in the United Sates have completely come into their own – that they reflect the passion of their makers and the taste of the land every bit as much as their European counterparts.
Now that's something to celebrate and dig your teeth into!
Viviane's tips
Pick between 4 and 5 cheeses for a balanced assortment.
Choose cheeses made with different milks: goat, sheep, cow (although at this time of the year it's a bit harder to find sheep's milk, so today's selection is just goat and cow's milk).
Choose cheeses with different textures: soft, fresh, bloomy, semi-soft and hard.
Serve the cheeses in the order in which they should be eaten: from the softer, milder cheese to the strongest cheese.
Five artisan cheeses (listed in the recommended order of eating)
Jasper Hill Farm – Caspian ($12)
This soft, unripened cow's milk cheese comes beautifully wrapped in grape leaves that have been soaked in Eden Ice Cider. The very creamy cheese is briny with a hint of sweetness – a wonderful introduction to any cheese course.
Nettle Meadow – Kunik ($30/lb)
This bloomy triple-cream from New York State gives French cheeses like Pierre Robert a run for their money. A mixture of goat's milk and Jersey cow cream, it's unbearably buttery, with a lovely sweetness and a slight tanginess. It's impossible to have just one piece!
Vermont Butter and Cheese Creamery – Bonne Bouche ($8)
This little round goat cheese has an ashen rind and a dense, creamy center. Depending on its age, it can be soft and tangy or, like the one I bought, a bit firmer, sweet and nutty. Its French name, Bonne Bouche, means "good mouth"– and what a good mouthful it is.
Jasper Hill Farm – Winnimere ($26/lb)
A magnificent cheese made with raw cow's milk that reminds me a bit of a young taleggio. Winnimere is washed with Lambic beer, then bound with a spruce binding cut from the trees on the farm. It has a characteristic orange rind and a pale, semi-soft yellow center. It's deliciously creamy and mild with lovely smoky, woody notes. Winnimere was the ideal transition between the softer cheeses and the semi-hard one that comes next.
Spring Brook Farm – Tarentaise ($22/lb)
Another Vermont cheese made it to my cheese course! This one is an unforgettable raw cow's milk, semi-hard cheese, aged for at least five months. "By the time Spring Brook Farm Tarentaise is ready for sale, it has been turned and washed at least 50 times," says owner Jeremy Stephenson. All you have to do is take a bite to taste how very handcrafted this cheese is. It's bursting with grassy, tangy and spicy notes. And, if I may borrow from the wine world, the Tarentaise has an extraordinarily long finish.
Gourmet Attitude – truffle honey ($19)
The very moment you open this little jar*, the scent of truffles leaps out and hits your nostrils with powerful force. This acacia honey infused with white truffles is pungent and exploding with intoxicating truffle flavors that are beautifully balanced with the sweetness of the honey.
I do not recommend drizzling the honey on the cheeses directly as the truffle will overpower their delicate flavor; rather, dab a bit of bread in the honey and savor as a palate cleanser (or teaser!) between cheese nibblings.
Farnum Hill Ciders – Farnum Hill semi-dry ($12)
I have loved hard cider since the tender age of 7, when, vacationing with my parents in Normandy, somebody handed me a glass. (It tickles me to think that in France even children are allowed to have hard cider.) This first experience made a strong impression on my young taste buds, and carved a special spot in my heart.
So I was delighted to discover Farnum Hill's line of hard ciders. They were kind enough to send four bottles for me to sample.* Two of the bottles truly stood out for me, including this semi-dry sparkling hard cider. (I will feature the other in a later post.)
The first sniff was all about apples, but then something deeper evolved. My untrained nose picked up a hint of spice, reminiscent of caraway seeds. The first sip was a complete surprise. Although the apple flavors were present, they were complex, balanced and leaning more towards apple skins than fleshy apples. Also, despite its name, the cider was not sweet at all. It was more on the dry side — which to my palate made it that much more interesting.
But the magical moment came when I tried the Farnum Hill semi-dry with the artisan cheeses I'd selected. The apple tones complemented the sweet, grassy and tangy cheeses, while the dryness of the cider cut through their rich texture. I'd never thought of serving hard cider with a cheese course before, but I can assure you it won't be the last time I do.
There is so much here to be grateful for… I can taste the hard labor and the passion that went into making these cheeses, infusing the honey and fermenting the cider. As I savor every bite and every sip I am reminded that there is something very special at play here. As artisans bring forth their talent, they in turn pass their passion onto us, and in this way enrich our own experience of life.
