Canon 7D body only for $1200
Earlier on there was a special on the Canon 7D at the wild world of Fry's electronics (which we missed) for $1000. Since we checked, it is gone for online buyers and it is available only for store-pick-up but at $1400. If you missed that but still have a near-term buy-interest in the Canon 7D, you can get it for $1200 at Adorama or B&H Photo or Amazon.

Rin"s Favorite choice
posted 4 years ago
Rin has two Good Cuz balls, one pink and one lavendar. Squeaky toys interest her, but her #1 choice is those 2 balls. When she goes outside, they go too. Time to go inside, again they go in with her. She runs around the yard and and all over the house squeaking one or the other. Then drops down and takes a nap. They really give her good exercise.
Soon, we plan to buy her some other Cuz toys. They are so well made, one can't go wrong in buying them.
Pros: The best Ball yet!
Cons: None

Fun toys!

These balls are great fun and dogs love them. The only slight problem is that if your dog is a strong chewer the legs will be ripped off in no time!
Pros: great for most dogs
Cons: bad for strong chewers!

A patient who was sexually assaulted by a nurse may pursue her negligent hiring lawsuit against the hospital where the assailant worked. The plaintiff argued that if the hospital had conducted a background check, it would have found that the nurse had been fired from previous jobs for assaulting female patients. A lower court held that the plaintiff could not sue the hospital because the nurse was officially employed by a third party. The California appellate court ruled that the hospital had sufficient supervisory authority over those working at the facility to be held liable for the nurse's actions. (C.R. v. Tenet Healthcare Corporation, California Court of Appeal, No. B201220, 2009)

November 6th, 2011:
When I was younger, we didn't watch much TV, so my siblings and I played outside. We were wizards and warriors, pilots and pioneers. We had guns and crystals and swords and wands. We built forts out of pig pens and stacked stones and bales of hay. We raided junkyards for parts and built spaceships out of broken cars. We crawled through fields and climbed trees and ran around on rooftops and waded in canals. And we dressed up. I had leather boots and a leather jacket, and some pants with an attached chain belt. I made a cape out of a piece of scrap material, and carved a staff out of a branch. I tied bandages around my leg, and braided my hair.
Our imaginary worlds were projected in front of our selves, but that was as far as they existed.
So yesterday was like my childhood coming to life. And the whole thing will be in tangible form.
It was epic.

Where Can I Find NYC Home Improvement Courses?
Good Questions
Q: I live with my hubby and two young daughters in a small apartment in upper Manhattan. I've recently caught the home improvement bug, and don't want to have to rely on a handyman every time I need to hang a shelf or fix chipped plaster on the wall. Is there someplace in New York City that offers a basic home improvement course for people like me who didn't grow up watching their dads being handy around the house?

Check Home Depot. They usually have courses.
CUNY City Tech in Brooklyn has home repair, basic plumbing, basic electricity and some home design classes. They are offered by the Dept. of Continuing Studies. Each is stand-alone. I took a tiling class and it was hands-on (and messy!). Here is the department's homepage: <http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/continuinged/spotlight.aspx>. Here is a link to the current catalog: <http://www.citytech.cuny.edu/academics/continuinged/pdf/Current_CSC.pdf>.
@funstraw - i think that is last year's schedule. i found this online:
Click on "house and home"
NHS, Neighborhood Housing Services in Brooklyn has a great 8 week course that covers the basics.
I have started to dip my toe into home repair now that I own my apartment. With no prior experience, I have
Removed ceiling fan and replaces with new light
Fixed the popup plug thing in bathroom sink
Fixed blockage in same sink
Replaced my lock with one of those "highsecurity" ones
I found all the info on the web, watched youTube videos and spiketo the guys at my local hardware store.
I won't lie, all of these things took much longer than a professional would have taken, but my only cost was my time, which I wasn't being paid for anyway.
I did call the guy over as I has trouble with my lock. He only charged me $10 as he said I had it all done but for one tiny thing. He was impressed as he said it's a difficult installation.
I hired people for more serious plumbing stuff and to replace some water damaged floor boards once I realized that the subfloor needed work too.
Almost all home repair is simple, it's just time consuming. It's worth picking up basic skills, especially in NYC where it's almost impossible to find people for small jobs and most dont work over weekends.
Check out Brooklyn Brainery: http://brooklynbrainery.com/
They have classes on seemingly everything.

I got a late start to DIY, and I can assure you it's not too late. Just about anything you want to do has already been done by someone and put on YouTube. If not there, someone wrote about it on a forum somewhere. Scour the Internet, and you'll find just about anything you need. We renovated an entire 1910 house, and I had virtually zero experience. But with just a little determination and willingness to experiment (and screw up sometimes), I ended up doing quite a bit of work that I never dreamed I could do: drywall, carpentry, electrical (careful with this one), plumbing. And the confidence grew with each completed project. I wish I'd started earlier. So much fun. And rewarding, too. Jump in!

The only change I made was to use chipotle chili powder instead of ancho chili powder since that is what I had on hand. I also did not use the cilantro/lime garnish. This recipe was outstanding! My whole family loved it!! This one is a keeper for sure!
Grilled Chicken Thighs with Ancho-Tequila Glaze
VTbakerchick Posted: 06/29/12
kblurton Posted: 06/21/12
Made this recipe without the hickory chips and it was still delicious. The flavors had just the right kick and touch of sweetness. Easy to make.
sobgila Posted: 10/10/12
this was good. The rub and gaze is very tasty. I did not have agave, so I used Honey. I also was cooking for 2, so I cooked in gril pan vs.using our charcoal grill. next time I would use chicken breasts - the thighs were tender - but a bit more fat that what to which I have become accustomed.
karenfar Posted: 03/31/13Huntington Beach, CA
Soooo Good! Lots of really good flavor + quick and easy:) Didn't take as along on the grill as suggested.
RosieJane Posted: 07/29/12
Made this last night. Excellent. Let the dry rub spices sit on the mix of boneless, skinless thighs and I also used some boneless, skinless breast for several hours. Didn't have hot sauce, so amped up the red pepper flakes a bit in the sauce. Left out the butter & used olive oil. Added a TBSP or two of olive oil to the marinating chicken. Used honey instead of agave. This was also really tasty the next day cold in a sandwich. A keeper recipe.
tonig692 Posted: 12/10/12
have made this many times and each time I love it.. I did try with Salmon tonight and baked for about 20-25 minutes and turned out moist and wonderful too. I sprinkled the spices on top of salmon and poured the sauce (I made a little more than what the recipe called for) over the salmon and saved some for when the fish was done. No leftovers
Zoesmom Posted: 06/24/12
Made the recipe exactly as written. Excellent! Will definitely be using this for company.
buenacena Posted: 09/03/12
I did not have ancho chile powder so used chipotle sauce instead. Good, BUT really really really spicy. I should have researched the substitution a bit more. I am a spicy girl and liked the heat, my husband not so much. As a result, I try to be conscientious of how much heat I include in my dishes. I am not sure if it was just the chipotle sauce, but I'll also be wary of the 1 1/2 Tbsp hot sauce in the glaze. I served over rice with the extra pan sauce, and it lit up the rice. The smokey chips are worth the effort. I used boneless thighs over indirect heat, about 25 mins total. I give this 4 stars because it was really good with complex flavors. And i think the added heat was my fault. However, i would not serve to company unless I knew they were heat freaks.
MerryMerlin Posted: 08/20/12
Made this on the grill tonight, using mesquite wood chips. Delicious, complex flavor. First time using agave syrup and its a winner. I'll be making this again :-)
ferrells Posted: 11/26/12
Made the recipe just as directed and they were GREAT! The nice thing about chicken thighs is that they are easy to grill and forgiving for cooking time.
KathrynNC Posted: 08/03/12
My husband repeatedly mentioned how much he loved this recipe for days after the fact and insisted I write a review giving it five stars. We made very minimal changes to the recipe. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs (all the grocery store had on hand at the time), skipped the wood chips (as some other reviewers have suggested), and we put heavy duty foil down on the grill but lit the burners directly underneath (took about 20 minutes total cook time, turning and basting with syrup every 5 minutes). The heat was perfect for our tastes! One trick I have heard parents use before, is to leave the skin on for the children's portions then remove it prior to serving (that way most of the "hot stuff" is also removed). Served with black bean and rice salad. Would also pair with a green salad with cilantro-lime dressing, cojita cheese, tomatoes and tortilla strips toppers in the future.
PKcookin Posted: 08/13/12
These are delicious and pretty easy. Forgot to skin chicken so probably not as light as intended but delicious all the same.
blackberrygirl Posted: 07/31/12
Loved this - skipped the hickory chips and grilled drumsticks and skinless boneless chicken breast instead. The indirect heat was the way to go - the chicken was very moist and flavorful from the rub. The BEST part though was that glaze - the agave nectar and tequila makes all the difference, plus the butter was a creamy addition. The chicken was beautiful too. Both my husband and my nine-year-old loved this dish!
KarinF Posted: 07/11/12
Made this on our gas grill without the hickory chips. Awesome, but I could imagine it would be great over the wood. Also, I didn't use chicken thighs but boneless breasts. They were still moist and flavorful. This is a spicy dish so it may not be suitable to serve to guests who have to avoid the heat. The lime squeeze at the end is crucial as well as the cilantro!
MsFish624 Posted: 03/06/13
Simply my FAVORITE Cooking Light recipe. It's so good! My hubby and I tag team this one. I do the prep and glaze.... he does the grilling. We don't use wood chips, I get a special smoked salt and get the same flavor without the work. I've also never used ancho-chili powder, just plain ole regular.
hollyit Posted: 07/30/12
Everyone absolutely RAVED about this recipe. By far the best chicken thighs I've ever tasted! Can't wait to make them again!
BGlace Posted: 07/15/12
We didn't have thighs so we used boneless chicken breasts and substituted light corn syrup diluted by half, in place of the agave syrup. The sauce packs a bit of a kick, but just enough to make it savory and perfectly balance out the sweetness. Make sure to include the lime wedges, which added even more moisture and flavor. Will certainly make again.
EMatthews Posted: 03/20/13
Substituted chicken breasts that I had on hand, but otherwise prepared as written. Time consuming for chicken, but worth it.
marthalawlor Posted: 07/02/12
I only tried it because I had the agave nectar, and didn't know what to do with it. I'd bought it for a 'skinny 'rita' recipe, which wasn't anyting special. And I'm not crazy about chicken thighs, so I didn't have high expectations. Boy, was I wrong! It was a big hit in our household. We like spicy food, and this hits the mark. The squeeze of lime cuts the sweetness perfectly. We've made it twice so far...
WLBETH Posted: 06/26/13
Made with chicken breasts but still delicious. Chicken was moist and tasty. Served with grilled corn on the cob and green beans.
TheMomChef Posted: 07/14/12
The title drew me in and the dish didn't disappoint. The adults loved the heat and flavor, but it was definitely too much for our little one, even though I used minimal rub and didn't include the glaze. Still, as an adult dish, it's out of this world. You can read my full review at: http://bit.ly/NlKPwF
dmlutz Posted: 06/30/12
Excellent flavor! The best Cooking Light recipe I have made in years!
Lysnecook Posted: 05/19/13
Fantastic chicken! We've made it exactly as written half a dozen times or more. It also freezes well. Don't freeze sauce. Just make extra chicken, freeze up dinner portions and make sauce while chicken is reheating down the road. I think it's even more flavorful after its been frozen.
FruitQueen Posted: 06/24/12
The spice rub, had a very nice flavor, the glaze was just a touch too sweet for my taste.
culinaryclique Posted: 07/09/12
This was awesome. We left it to grill over indirect heat. I used half tablespoon of sambal oelek in place of the hot sauce and ground red pepper. OH MY was it so good. We sliced the leftover chicken for sandwiches for lunch. Again, YUM!
MargaD Posted: 07/21/13
Soooooo Yummy! I've made this a few times for BBQ's. One guest branded it the very best chicken he's ever tasted! I've used both regular chile & ancho chile as I found the ancho chile hard to come by. Both ways are equally tasty!
Catherine1982 Posted: 01/08/14
This is delicious! Sometimes I make it with chicken breast instead of thighs. I have also adjusted this recipe for parties by putting smaller chicken pieces on skewers and have received many compliments
mandofan Posted: 06/14/14
Not much else to add - this is absolutely delicious. Try to eat it as quickly as possible from the grill so that the glaze is still sticky. In order to do that, make sure your sides are ready beforehand, or will only take a couple of minutes to prepare. Also, it's probably best to grill uncovered for the last 5 minutes.

Born Free USA: 2010, the Year in Review
What was true before remained the same in 2010: We couldn't have done a thing without you! All the progress we made for animals was a team effort, made possible only by your activism, donations and all other manner of support. Together, let's continue to make a positive difference for animals in 2011!
(Watch Born Free USA's chief executive officer, Will Travers, talk about what you helped us do in 2010.)
In March, a team from Born Free USA participated in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Doha, Qatar. On our website, we posted blogs and videos to keep the world updated as to what was happening — behind closed conference doors — to the world's wildlife.
Compassion is always in fashion! Or fur free campaign attained new heights of creativity and fun in 2011.
fffashion Competition: Tammy Apóstol won the second annual design contest; stay tuned for 2011 fffashion competition updates.
fffashion Show: In October, we hosted a celebrity-infused, red-carpet fashion show in Los Angeles to bring exposure the Born Free USA fur free campaign.
fffashion updates: International fashion designer and retailer Adolfo Dominguez, evening gown designer Dalia MacPhee and Wanna Wear by Tina O. of Beverly Hills signed onto the international fur free retailer program created and coordinated by Born Free.
Field Projects
Born Free USA, through the generosity of its members and friends, helped animals in need worldwide. Below are just a few examples.
African gray parrots: We donated $2,000 to ongoing rehabilitation and release efforts in Cameroon.
Dolphins: We contributed monetarily to the Born Free Foundation's rescue tourist resort's swimming pool and ongoing rehabilitation in the Adriatic Sea of Tom and Misha.
Monkeys: The Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary in Texas continued to care for some 500 animals, 15 of whom were rescued in July from an East Coast pharmaceutical laboratory.
Scarlet macaws: We donated $2,500 for a new conservation initiative in Honduras.
Born Free USA works on bills at all levels of government. A few examples from 2010:
Local level: The Sacramento City Council approved an ordinance that will help protect the welfare of animals used in traveling shows.
State level: We tracked and took action on 14 state bills concerning animal protection, two of which became law in 2010. Illinois banned the ownership of primates as pets, and Florida prohibited the importation, breeding, sale and possession of large constrictor snakes and Nile monitor lizards.
Federal level: We continued our ongoing efforts to promote the Captive Primate Safety Act, which bans interstate and foreign trade of primates for use as pets; the Bear Protection Act, which prohibits the import, export or interstate commerce in bear gallbladders and bile; and the Refuge from Cruel Trapping Act, which proposes to ban all body-gripping traps — snare, Conibear and steel-jaw leghold — from being used on National Wildlife Refuges.
Our program associates and the thousands of Born Free USA's Action Alert team members chalked up many victories for the animals in 2010, including:
Bears: The California Department of Fish and Game rescinded its proposal that would have expanded bear hunting across the state.
Birds: On Oct. 31, the only U.S. manufacturer of Avitrol, a product responsible for the deaths of millions of birds every year, shut down.
Turtles and Frogs: The California Fish and Game Commission decided to cease issuing permits for the importation of live turtles and frogs destined for live-food markets.
We also made our collective voices heard by submitting comment letters to federal and state agencies during official comment periods on various issues relevant to our campaigns and mission (e.g., banning the indiscriminate use of poisons to kill wildlife, protecting 15 wild species of cats and dogs, ensuring that 200-some retired chimpanzees aren't used again for lab research, stopping the trade of kangaroo parts, supporting mandatory labeling of fur origins on new fur clothing, outlawing primates as pets, saving wild mustangs, banning equipment used to train elephants that can harm humans or the animals, protecting great apes, stopping the bloody trade in ivory, persuading Brookstone to discontinue selling live frogs in Frog-O-Spheres, outlawing the trade in bear parts, prohibiting hunting on national wildlife refuges, stopping the proliferation of invasive species, protecting bears from being shot in Nevada, preventing foxes and coyotes from being used as bait in Indiana, keeping falcons from being stolen from their nests in Oregon, and much more.
Knowledge is a vital component in the animal protection movement. Born Free USA unveiled a number of online and in-print educational tools in 2010, including:
California Pet Shop Law Guide:: This 78-page booklet is designed as a quick reference guide to California's newly updated pet shop laws — updates prompted by Born Free USA's undercover pet shop investigation and exposé "Little Shops of Sorrows."
Exotic Animal Incidents Database: Here find more than 1,300 incidents — searchable by state, year, species, category and facility type — of attacks on humans, attacks on other animals, and escapes by exotic animals in the United States that Born Free USA has tracked since 1990.
Nontarget Trapping Incidents Database: Millions of animals are trapped each year, causing untold suffering and death for many of the creatures, not all of whom were targeted by the trappers. We can present only a tiny fraction of such incidents, and we rely on you to tell us about more. Search by state, year, species, type of trap and victim's disposition.
Pet Supply Locator: We launched the only site on the Web where compassionate consumers easily can locate pet supply stores that do not sell live animals.
State Trapping Report Card: How does your state rate with its trapping laws — in terms of both breadth and regulation? Find out with this unique "report card."
In addition to the interactive databases described in "Tools" above, we launched a special rescues section on our Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary site that tracks two of our larger efforts: the rescue of 31 long-tailed macaques from a laboratory in 2008, and the rescue of 15 long-tailed macaques from a laboratory in 2010.
We also streamlined our blog lineup to present three distinct voices of Born Free USA from three countries: Chief Executive Officer Will Travers from England, Senior Operations Associate Barry Kent MacKay from Canada and Primate Sanctuary Director Tim Ajax from rural Texas.

The eastern part of the US sure got hit with snow. Amazing photos. My daughter wanted to know if I was close to Niagara Falls, would I risk going there and taking photos of it? Probably! Glad you are all warming up. Will be praying for you through the months your husband is gone. Hugs and take care!

Ugh, deployments and snow days, no fun for you! Ed was supposed to be out there on this rotation (just like every January for the last 3 years), but they lessened the manning requirements for his squadron...it would have been fun for him to be out there with your hubby though. Good luck with your new normal - we'll be thinking of you guys!

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. So far so good. The availability of technology is really making the transition so much easier, but we would still rather have him here ;)

Jimmie Foxx was traded from the Philadelphia A's to the Red Sox in 1935 after 11 seasons in Philly. During his time there, Foxx won the Triple Crown in 1933 and two MVP Awards (1932 & 1933). Foxx would win one more MVP while in Boston.
Gordon Rhodes lost 20 games in 1936, his last year in the league and only year in Philly. George Savino never left the minors. In 1937, Savino was traded for Crouse in a minor league deal. Crouse played 8 seasons in the major leagues with the White Sox (1923-30), but never saw the majors again. In terms of 2009 dollars, $150,000 is approximately $2.4 Million. Foxx played 10 more MLB seasons after the trade.

You go, girl.

Here's a shot of some ant eggs I had in Mexico. They are called Mexican caviar and are crazy delicious.
Kicking around some ideas for performing in children's hospitals, something I've done a lot of when on tour with Beakman live stage shows. I want to do ventriloquism, but I suspect Butch may be too scary for kids…half the adults who meet him are scared to death. Lynn Jeffries and I are going to explore some puppets she has as possible walk-arounds from room to room as well as shows in day rooms. We will see.
The pic is of Butch and me in Prague with a passing, disinterested chicken.

What is an EcoGeek...really? What kind of person are you, who gets excited about the future of best places to buy viagra green technology and just try! cialis 10mg saving the world with the levitra pfizer 50 mg power of our brains?
I've been curious and, I'll be honest, so have folks who are looking to levitra tadalafil advertise on our site. Since this is a business (dot org not withstanding) I figure I should be able to give them some stats. I'm also really curious what you folks out there think of EcoGeek, and whether you'd like us to change anything or add any particular features.
So I've created this little survey. Anything that could link the data to individuals is completely scrubbed. No IP addresses are logged, and no contact information is involved. So if you want to let us know what kind of person you are, so we can satisfy our curiosity, that'd be fantastic. And I'm really looking forward to hearing any suggestions you might have for EcoGeek.

Boston needed overtime in Game Seven and the Lightning got a 36-save shutout from Dwayne Roloson to move on to the second round.
BOSTON-MONTREALPushed to the limit by their arch-rivals, the Boston Bruins escaped the first round with another winning goal in overtime from right winger Nathan Horton. Horton had a modest three points in the series, but he made his presence felt with overtime winners in Games Five and Seven.
Even though he got nabbed for a late high-sticking call that paved the way for the Canadiens' tying goal (on a ridiculously skilled one-time blast by P.K. Subban), Patrice Bergeron was a standout performer for the Bruins in the series, scoring seven points and going plus-5 in seven games. Bergeron played 21:07 in Game Seven, a healthy increase on his Game One ice time of 15:47.
Boston's second-leading scorer in the series? Chris Kelly, who had six points, including a go-ahead goal in the third period of Game Seven. By way of comparison, he had five points in 24 regular season games after coming over in a trade from Ottawa.
Rich Peverley and Brad Marchand were next in line, with five points each, so it's clear that the Bruins got it done with role players in Round One. Good thing, too, because first-line winger Milan Lucic had no goals and two assists in the series and his centre, David Krejci, had just one goal.
Montreal owned special teams on the night, scoring two power play goals and a shorthanded goal, making the Bruins a net minus-1 on 21 power plays in the series.
Canadiens LW Mike Cammalleri finished with ten points in the series, but was minus-3 in the deciding game. Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta were also minus-3 on the night, leaving them both at a team-low minus-6 for the series.
Gionta and Tomas Plekanec were Montreal's second and third-highest scorers against Boston, with five points.
James Wisniewski, who couldn't play in Game Six due to injury, played a team-high 26:29 and was minus-2 in Game Seven.
Oddly, Subban played "only" 25:04 in Game Seven, his fewest minutes in a game in the playoffs.
The series was expected to be a battle of two elite level goaltenders and it didn't disappoint. Carey Price stopped 30 of 34 for Montreal in the deciding game, but Tim Thomas turned away 34 of 37 Canadiens shots.
In the series, Price stopped 226 of 242 shots (.933 save percentage), while Thomas saved 212 of 229 shots on goal (.926 save percentage).
That Boston could get through the first round despite the lack of production from their supposed number one line, offers some reason for hope in Round Two, assuming that Krejci and Lucic will be better (they have to be, don't they?), but the Bruins will have their hands full with the Flyers, perhaps leaning on an expected advantage in goal with Thomas matched against Brian Boucher.
PITTSBURGH-TAMPA BAYIn the last four games of the series, including a double-overtime loss in Game Four and then three straight wins to complete the comeback, Lightning goaltender Dwayne Roloson stopped 144 of 151 shots against, good for a .954 save percentage.
True, this version of the Penguins isn't blessed with the most skilled group of forwards, but that's still impressive work from the 41-year-old 'tender.
The lone goal-scorer in Game Seven of this series was Lightning winger Sean Bergenheim, who had three goals and four points in the last four games of the series.
Martin St. Louis paced the Lightning with eight points in the series, while Simon Gagne and Steve Downie chipped in seven apiece. Downie was a factor offensively, despite averaging just 10:31 per game.
Some other unheralded heroes for the Lightning? Defenceman Eric Brewer, a deadline pickup from St. Louis, who had five points and played more than 25 minutes per game.
Dominic Moore was held off the scoresheet in the first four games of the series, but picked up four points in the last three games. Scouting tip for the Capitals: he likes to send the pass behind him as he goes behind the net and it worked a couple of times for goals against the Penguins, including Bergenheim's marker in Game Seven.
Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury had 22 saves on 23 Lightning shots in Game Seven, but it wasn't enough because the Penguins didn't have the firepower to keep up.
Three Penguins tied for the team lead with four points in the series: Arron Asham, Maxime Talbot and Kris Letang.
Letang is one of the better puck-moving defencemen in the game, and has been a productive playoff performer in the past, so he's not a surprise, but Asham and Talbot combined for a grand total of 32 points between them in the regular season.
Fairly or not, the Penguins players that had to be counted on to score simply couldn't. Chris Kunitz, James Neal, Alex Kovalev and Jordan Staal each scored one goal, while Tyler Kennedy managed two, one of which was the Penguins' lone power play goal in 35 chances against the Lightning.
Into Round Two, the Lightning will face a familiar foe, the Southeast's own Washington Capitals, a team that outscored the Lightning 18-10 in six meetings this season.

Earth Giant
This is an "Earth Giant" created from mostly natural material found in the forest. I construct a wire frame structure from wild grape vines to build the body. The grape vine structure is then stuffed with leaves and hay to create a solid form. The head, hands, and feet are first sculpted out of chicken wire and then skinned with organic burlap and an all natural concrete mixture called hypertufa. This mixture consists of equal parts: peat moss, vermiculite, and portland cement. Once the head was completed I then sewed found moss into the face to create the beard. This giant is a recreation of my first grape vine sculpture constructed in Coopers Rock State Forest in April 2012. Since Then I have built three other "Eco - Sculptures" including a life size horse, a ten foot black bear, and then the "Earth Giant" for ArtPrize 2013. Below is a time lapse video of the "Coopers Rock Bear" which shows how these grape vine sculptures are created:
- Art form: 3-D
- Depth: 10
- Medium: Natural Materials (Grape Vines, tree limbs, leaves, grass, moss, and natural concrete)
- Width: 6'
- Year created: 2013
- Height: 8'
Venue & Connection Information
I would prefer an outdoor venue for this sculpture. Possibly a park or woodland are where spectators will be able to walk up on the giant and meet him face to face. Placing the giant in the forest last time really captured people's imaginations I believe and provided them with a lasting image. This helped make it so popular here locally, so I believe the location will have a great affect on how the viewer remembers the sculpture. I can also imagine this giant living in a large indoor venue with high ceilings or an overhang to place the figure beneath. That could create a different but nice image. I am a very flexible and easy going individual who would not need very much at all from my venue except the space to create. I appreciate all considerations and look forward to the opportunity to show at Art Prize 2013 this fall if you'll have me. Thank You, Ben Gazsi.

Hundreds of Thousands Possibly Dead in Haiti
The island nation of Haiti, one of the poorest countries in the world, was dealt a devastating blow Tuesday when a 7.0 earthquake hit the capitol of Port-au-Prince.
The Haitian Prime Minister tells CNN that he believes hundreds of thousands of people have died, making this one of the largest natural disasters in recent years. One Haitian senator said the death toll could reach 500,000 based on the destruction.
"Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed," President René Préval told the Miami Herald. "There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them." Even the main prison in the capital fell, "and there are reports of escaped inmates," U.N. humanitarian spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said in Geneva. The Roman Catholic archbishop of Port-au-Prince was among the dead, and the head of the U.N. peacekeeping mission was missing. The International Red Cross said a third of Haiti's 9 million people may need emergency aid, although it would take several days to fully assess the extent of the damage.
The U.S. and other nations have immediately mobilized forces to send aid to the stricken country, with President Barack Obama promising an extensive amount of humanitarian aid. "We have to be there for them in their hour of need," Obama said.
The International Red Cross and other aid groups announced plans for major relief operations. "The hospitals cannot handle all these victims," said Dr. Louis-Gerard Gilles. "Haiti needs to pray. We all need to pray together."
An estimated 40,000-45,000 Americans live in Haiti, and the U.S. Embassy had no confirmed reports of deaths among its citizens. All but one American employed by the embassy have been accounted for, State Department officials said.
Several celebrities have already pledged their support to the Haitian people. Singer Wyclef Jean, a native of Haiti who runs the Yéle Haiti charity to assist the impoverished nation, has now created the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund. He said in a statement: "I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now."
Want to help? Donate to the International Red Cross. UNICEF is taking donations as well. Doctors Without Borders and Partners in Health have set up emergency medical clinics on the ground. For a complete list of aid organizations currently working in Haiti who need donations and supplies, please click here.

The findings of a girl, trusting her force and heading for the Garden of Madness.
No one disputes that an on-duty Irvine police officer got an erection and ejaculated on a motorist during an early-morning traffic stop in Laguna Beach. The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.
When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that Park wasn't responsible for making sticky all over the woman's sweater. He insisted that she made the married patrolman make the mess—after all, she was on her way home from work as a dancer at Captain Cream Cabaret.
"She got what she wanted," said Stokke. "She's an overtly sexual person."

Is overreaction an explanation for the value effect? A study using implied volatility from option prices
AbstractMany empirical studies document the value effect. One explanation is that investors overreact to growth aspects for growth stocks. We apply Stein's (1989) method to investigate whether the degree of overreaction differs between value and growth stocks using the implied volatility from option prices. A finding of overreaction for either value stocks or growth stocks would lend support to overreaction as an explanation for the value effect. Empirical results here indicate a stronger degree of overreaction for growth stocks.

Many U.S. states require people who own and drive cars to carry auto insurance.

Justice Anton Scalia was one of the five justices who ruled in favor of corporate spending in 2010.

Mobile phones range from the most basic, like those for younger children that can place calls only to restricted numbers, to smartphones that are essentially tiny computers which offer:
Internet access to social networks such as Facebook, as well as to games, videos and video chat sites, TV shows, music, and applications (apps).
Use of camera and video that are fun, but also provide opportunity for bullies and others, and enable taking and sharing suggestive photos or videos (known as sexting).
GPS tracking that makes it possible to pinpoint the location of the phone—and the child. You can use this to monitor where your kids are, but if it is not used carefully, so can others. Furthermore, smartphones may tag a photo (geotagging), revealing precisely where and when it was taken.
Pick a service plan with the functionality and mobile phone safety features that are right for each child. Add features such as text messaging, photo-sharing, or Internet access only when you feel your child is ready to take on each new responsibility. Also, note that if you choose a billed plan, versus a prepaid plan, you can better monitor monthly charges, such as "free" offers with hidden monthly charges.
Based on the age and maturity of each child, agree on phone features. Define clear rules for sensible use and the consequences for breaking them. Talk about usage: who they can talk to or text and when, the websites they can visit, and so on. With older kids, discuss cyberbullying and sexting.
From time to time, ask your kids to show you what is on their phones. Periodically re-examine rules as children mature and mobile technologies evolve.
Help kids understand the following:
Share their phone number only with family and close friends. Do not put it on social network pages, use it to enter contests, or give it to just anyone who asks for it.
Lock the phone with a PIN that your child keeps secret (even from best friends) to prevent others from snooping or misusing it.
Don't say, text, or post anything that would hurt or embarrass someone.
Don't make, send, or accept provocative texts, photos, or videos.
Avoid clicking links in ads, contests, text messages (even from friends) offering free prizes and the like.
Clearly explain why you are using safety tools and what they will do for your children's information security. Consider setting them up together.
Some protections are provided through the carrier's service; others can be set on the mobile phone. The most reliable are those on the phone, because when a phone uses a wireless network, it bypasses the carrier and its tools.
Filter or block websites and content as appropriate for your child's age and maturity:
Consider blocking Internet access for the youngest; for teens, think about restricting access to gambling, adult, and other inappropriate sites.
Filter lyrics, video, and other content that is violent or explicit.
Restrict access to forums (including in games) unless they are moderated by humans.
Use GPS cautiously. If you use a family location service to monitor your kids' whereabouts, make sure others cannot locate them. Otherwise, consider disabling the location feature on your child's phone; at the very least, turn it off in the phone's camera.
Manage contacts, which can include blocking callers and restricting contact to approved numbers only.
Immediately report:
Physical threats, persistent cyberbullying, or any form of exploitation to the police and the carrier.
Inappropriate content or behavior to the carrier or app.

Genre: Historical Romance
When Nigel Murray overhears Guy Lucette talking to a young woman trying to pass herself off as a boy, he is intrigued for the first time in years.
He offers to help them, for Giselle is on the run, accused of her husbands murder. Nigel offers to help get her out of France. He is attracted to Giselle, but her husbands aggressive hands have left her afraid of human contact.
Nigel is determined to keep her safe and help her unleash her passion. Their feelings turn to love as they travel through France seeking the truth and Giselles freedom.
When Giselle is captured by her husbands cousin, Nigel comes to the rescue and they flee to Scotland, where Giselle comes face to face with the reason Nigel left home seven years ago: his wife.
Nigel must prove his devotion to Giselle, who fears that her presence may bring trouble to his clan. Though the characters are well-developed and there is one adventure after another, the weak conflict and storytelling make this a pleasant but unexciting read. (Jan., 350 pp., $5.99)

text: Respect is important on the street. You could argue the guy who pays $150,000 for a Ferrari is looking to buy respect, and we would agree. You could also argue that a guy boosting his Civic to 30 psi just to smoke his brother-in-law's Mustang is looking for respect, and we would agree. Then there's the guy who slams his pick-up over a set of hydraulic pistons, fills its extended cab with 15-inch subwoofers and covers the thing in airbrushed fire-breathing skulls. He's also looking for respect. We just think that guy's a retard. So. Cal. resident Billy Keleman built this hybrid Civic hatch for respect, because as an anemic factory stock CX, it just wasn't getting any. Now, it's a street monster with the clean, street-level appearance of a JDM Civic Type-R. "Many people told me the car would make no power and I wanted to prove them wrong," Keleman says, echoing the sentiments of hundreds of Hondaphiles before him and hundreds more to come. "Building it was very costly, but well worth it." All in all, Keleman estimates he sunk a good $28,000 into the project. He collaborated with his good friend, Jacob Breymann, on the build. Together, the two did all the work on the car except the paint. Breymann was responsible for the engine and planning its forced induction system, while Keleman was responsible for everything else. For his part, Keleman began beneath the Civic, pulling out the old springs and dampers and installing a slick new set of VIS coil-overs. He pulled the diminutive front brakes, too, and replaced them with equipment taken from a junked Si. The stock wheels also went out the door in favor of a 16x7-inch set of SSR GPOs, wrapped in Toyo Proxes FZ4 rubber. With the car's underpinnings tuned to his liking, Keleman turned his attention to the exterior and the vaunted Type-R makeover he intended to effect. Body components from a CTR-front and rear bumpers, front and rear bumper lips, grille and taillights, folding rearview mirrors-were combined with a JDM-spec roof wing to give the car a Japanese flavor. Keleman then turned the car over to the painters, where the majority of it was sprayed in Honda championship white. The only components not treated were the carbon-fiber pieces, the VIS hood and a CTR front lip. Keleman also made a few JDM-spec changes to the car's interior, replacing the front seats with OEM Recaro buckets and the backseat with an imported unit from a CTR. Other authentic Far Eastern touches include a CTR carpet kit and JDM gauge cluster. As the Civic was getting its cosmetic makeover, Breymann was busy building the motor at his shop, Import Life, in Whittier, Calif. He began with a modified B16 block, which was reinforced and sleeved by RS Machine Works, and linked stock-sized JE Pistons to the factory crank using forged Crower rods. The head is the factory cap from an Integra GS-R that's been ported and polished for full flow. Breymann replaced the critical valvetrain equipment with heat-treated stainless-steel valves from RS Machine, and complemented them with JUN dual valve springs and RS titanium retainers. RS Machine is also responsible for constructing Keleman's exhaust manifold, a beautifully fabricated stainless-steel tubular piece, which currently supports a Turbonetics T3/T4 hybrid turbocharger. The rest of the forced induction system incorporates full custom plumbing, a GReddy blow-off valve, beefy HKS wastegate, JG Edelbrock intake manifold and Type-R throttle body, and a Spearco intercooler core to assist system efficiency. For engine management, Breymann decided on a P30 ECU for its OBD-I emissions programs and user-friendly tuning properties, and a cabin-mounted A'PEXi V-AFC for fine tuning. Fuel enrichment is physically enabled by a set of RC 370cc injectors, a new Holley fuel pump, Vortech FMU and a Turbo XS pressure regulator. With the engine built and hung with its various performance parts, Breymann and Keleman reinstalled it with a complete Integra GS-R five-speed transmission. A Clutch Specialties six-puck clamp was installed to mediate between the high-powered engine and stock gearbox. Oshimo at Zero Factory performed fine-tuning on the fuel and forced induction systems. According to Keleman, Oshimo tunes all of Erick's Racing's cars. That would be Erick Aguilar, IDRC stalwart, who pilots one of the world's fastest all-motor Hondas. Apparently, Oshimo does turbos, too. The end result? "The car put out 316 hp to the wheels at only 12 psi of boost," Keleman relates. "We were very excited." Elated with their results, Keleman and Breymann took the car forthright to the dragstrip to get some real-world numbers. On street tires, after a full day of launch practice, they were finally able to whittle the day's low e.t. to a 12.98. The hatch's next test and tune session was held at California Speedway in Fontana, Calif., and this time Keleman showed up with a set of drag slicks. He and Breymann ripped off no less than 23 runs, and claim the car made 19 of those runs in the 12-second range. Its best run, accomplished the same day, stands at 12.1 seconds at 108 mph. Aside from the front slicks, the car made the run exactly as it would on the street, sucking the familiar 12 psi of boost, and burning 91-octane pump gas-with a full interior. Even better, the next day Keleman pulled the slicks off and drove the car to work like he always does.

Fox 8 Sports has confirmed Saints Offensive Coordinator Pete Carmichael Junior is going to interview for the head coaching position with the Chicago Bears this week.
According to the Chicago Sun Times, the interview will take place Thursday as the Bears try to replace Lovie Smith, fired by the bears Monday.
Carmichael called all the offensive plays for the Saints this season in the absence of suspended Head Coach Sean Payton, helping Drew Brees to another landmark passing campaign.
Last year, he was considered for jobs in Oakland and Indianapolis.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.
