Many consider it to be the grand opening to the new season of horse events and everyone considers it a perfect excuse to be among like-minded horse people.
While many horse fairs are produced by paid professionals, the Iowa Horse Fair is planned and conducted primarily by volunteers.
We would like to thank all of our speakers, demonstrators, clinicians, sponsors, vendors, exhibitors, advertisers, and volunteers who help to make the Iowa Horse Fair a success.

According to Computerworld, Oregon has become the latest state to reject the Real ID Act, which establishes a national standard for driver's licenses. Minnesota, Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, Maine and Montana are among the other states that have signed into law a statute that prohibits Real ID implementation.
Oregon lawmakers approved a bill that would prohibit agencies from spending any state money to implement Real ID Act requirements unless the federal government reimburses them the money and can demonstrate specific security controls for protecting driver's license data. Since all state driver's license databases would be linked, there has been concern that this interconnectedness will make it harder to protect data and easier for data thieves to steal identities.
Still, all citizens will eventually need ID cards that comply with the Real ID requirements. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has extended its compliance deadlines, making driver's licenses acceptable as identification by federal agencies until December 2014.

It would just be easier to go and buy a complete AR that will fire thousands and thousands of rounds reliably, then to go through all of that hassle to fire a couple hundred (maybe) before it breaks. If you are worried about trace-ability - then buy an aluminum 80% lower (which is not considered a gun or serialized either), finish the machining and build a regular AR that has the reliability and is not traceable. I don't see where the 3-D printing is a realistically viable and practical option just to get around Big Brother - even for someone with a ton of cash. It is more of a novelty and a challenge to do it than anything to practically worry about.

The cost of converting the UK's fleet of 25 AW101 Merlin Mk3 transport helicopters for future use as Mk4s by the Royal Marines Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) will be £330 million ($545 million). British Defence Secretary Philip Hammond confirmed the amount during a visit to AgustaWestland's Yeovil factory, where much of the work will be done. He also announced that the Anglo-Italian company is receiving a five-year follow-on integrated operational support (IOS) contract worth £430 million ($710 million) for the British Army's Apache AH.1 fleet.
Royal Navy
The UK Royal Navy (RN) deployed its first maritime UAS this week, when an Insitu Scan Eagle system was added to RFA Cardigan Bay, which is supporting the EU anti-piracy patrols off Somalia.
Controversial from the start, the UK's new aircraft carrier program has endured many twists and turns. It is now 14 years since the government first defined the need for new carriers and it will be another four years before the first of the two Queen Elizabeth II-class warships is delivered. Beyond that, it will be another four years before the carrier-strike capability becomes fully operational, in 2020.
Sixteen Harrier GR.7/9 V/STOL (vertical and/or short take-off and landing) jets flew over the UK Midlands Wednesday to mark the type's retirement from British military service. The 70-strong Harrier force fell victim to the recent Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), and the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has since rushed to ground them in a vain attempt to stem criticism of the decision.

Ferrari 458 Italia – Click above for high-res image galleryThere's been a lot of talk recently about new Ferraris slated to roll out of Maranello. Which makes sense, considering that its parents at Fiat are in the midst of a big product shake-up. But while previous reports foreshadowed ...
Fiat is in the midst of a grand restructuring, and reports are beginning to trickle in. First up is perhaps the most exciting, dealing with product development plans for Fiat's most prized asset: Ferrari.

Galpin Auto Sports has always demonstrated an unbridled desire to be one step ahead of the game as far as their custom vehicles are concerned. Their latest program for the 2011 Ford Explorer is no different. Fitted with what is arguably one of the most comprehensive tuning programs for the Ford SUV to date, the Explorer XXVI is primed and ready for action at the 2011 SEMA Auto Show .
There are many things that stand out with this Explorer, beginning with a one-of-a-kind Matte Bruised Blue pearl paint finish designed by GAS and mixed by PPG. That eye-catching color is complimented by matte finished headlights and taillights and a custom fabricated grille. Suspension set-ups courtesy of Eibach springs and a new set of 24" Savini wheels wrapped in Pirelli tires complete the exterior program for the Explorer XXVI.
And then there's the interior, which is a whole new conversation piece in itself. The seats have been dressed in custom leather with matching Stingray inserts, suede door panels, and a custom suede headliner. Moreover, the Explorer XXVI also has a radical surround sound system that includes 26 JL Audio speakers wrapped in LED trim, producing a hair-raising output of 2,000 watts. Finally, an iPad was also installed in the SUV, as well as a 360-degree camera that lets you keep tabs on just about everybody that's eyeballing your insane SUV.
UPDATE 12/10/11: Official photos of the Galpin Auto Sports' Ford Explorer XXVI program have officially been released. Check out all the snapshots of the souped-up 'Bowtie SUV' in the gallery below!

Bret Michaels' Doctor: Diabetes, Appendectomy Played No Role In Brain Hemorrhage
Bret Michaels' Type 1 diabetes played no role in the subarachnoid hemorrhage he suffered last month and continues to receive treatment for at Phoenix's Barrow Neurological institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, the rocker's doctor told reporters on Tuesday.
"I don't believe that his diabetes… had anything to do with that," Dr. Joseph Zabramski told reporters at a press conference on Tuesday. "So there's nothing you can do to protect yourself."
Dr. Zabramski also shot down the notion that the hemorrhage could have been related to the emergency appendectomy Bret underwent last month.
"The appendectomy? No, I don't believe that would have any connection whatsoever," he told reporters.
"There is nothing you can do to prevent this from happening," Dr. Zabramski said of what happened to Bret. "Everyone in this room has the same risk of having a subarachnoid hemorrhage."
Bret is doing better since he suffered the brain injury, and his doctor said he has "no problems with slurred speech."
Walking, however, has proven troublesome for the rocker-turned-reality star.
"When he tries to walk, he gets severe spasms in his back," Dr. Zabramski said.
Bret is able to walk, but he is receiving assistance when he does.
"He can walk on his own or he can walk with single assist, what we call contact assist for balance…. We don't want him walking around by himself really," Bret's doctor said.
Dr. Zabramski added that the risk for a relapse in the condition "stays elevated until you're six months out from the hemorrhage."

Gangrene is the progressive death of body tissue resulting from a lack of blood supply. When the blood supply is cut off, the tissue does not get enough oxygen and begins to die.

.. most of you probably know Fox News' 'The Five' for former Mondale hack Bob Beckel (the guy who said he'd like to see Julian Assange barbecued and served with a side of slaw), but it's so much MORE. let's listen in to this exchange between Dana Perino and Andrea Tanaros ! "ohmygod, you know what, guys? I think it was - like - IRAN that killed the ambassador to Libya." "Dana is right: people are saying that Iranian and Egyptian officials have met. like in some official capacity? the magazines are saying people are talking about it."

The Hellbound Heart: A Novel (original 1986; edition 2007)
by Clive Barker
Work details
The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker (1986)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Familiarization with the far more popular movie version may make this a weak read for some, but The Hellbound Heart is still a well-written, sexual romp with unique imagery.
I finished this book very quickly as it was very fast paced. There is a lot of action and gory scenes in the story. But because the book is short I didn't get to learn much about the characters which meant that I didn't really care whether they lived or died.
The plot of the story is very imaginative, I just wish there had been a bit more background about the cenobites and their world.
Truly super creepy. I have not seen Hellraiser (or most 80s horror movies), so I wasn't sure what to expect. My only complaint is that it's really easy to dislike the victims. It might have been a little creepier if more morally ambiguous people had suffered; instead, I prayed for their painful demise.
Reading it after Mister B. Gone just confirmed what a disappointment Barker's newest book was. This one will be like The Thief of Always, I suspect, which has stayed with me for over a decade.
3.5 stars.
I've seen 'Hellraiser' of course, and my brother even dressed up as an awesome Pinhead for Halloween 2 years in a row in the late 80s. Mom painstakingly applied about a hundred gray toothpicks all over his head. Some weren't even sharp enough to go in properly, so it took a while, and he just would NOT stop crying... Kidding, kidding! I do wish that we had pictures of that costume though, it was great. My mom is an artistic genius, and my dedicated brother even allowed his head to be shaved almost bald for effect. Good times.
Anyway, back to business. So, I'd seen the movie, but being that young (I was 5 when it came out) I didn't really get it, but my boyfriend likes the movies too, so we have a full collection, and I've seen them again a couple times as an adult. And this is one case where I think the movies are better than the book. True, the effects were pretty cheesetastic, but it was the 80s and the movies themselves are great. Gory and depraved and awesome.
The story itself is short, and quite good, but kind of... sparse. I mean, Barker fits a lot of stuff into less than 200 pages, but he doesn't really describe the Cenobites or give much information about the history of the box, etc. We can fill in the blanks this way, making the Cenobites as horrible as we like, but I think the movies were fantastic for the creativity in depicting them. The book most definitely lacked there.
Anyway, this was a good book, and I'm glad I listened to it. I liked the reader, even though his voice took a little while to get used to. I liked the way he voiced the Cenobites though. Creepy! :)
I'm assuming everyone in the world has seen the last Harry Potter movie? This isn't a spoiler but there is this part in the movie where Voldemort is in some place that looks like a train station and he looks like a cross between some sort of fetus and a seahorse. When I saw it with my friends, we were all wondering what the frak we were looking at…in fact, it is pretty safe to say that I am still wondering a few months later. So I know Clive Barker wrote this novella decades before HP7p1 would come out but nevertheless, the movie impacted my reading enjoyment. Why? Because a man in The Hellbound Heart is trying to become more flesh and bone (just like good ol' Voldy) and needs blood to do so. As he becomes more substantial there is a period of time where all I could picture was some weird-looking seahorse thing flapping around in a corner. This is supposed to scare me? Mission NOT accomplished. Also, Barker went out of his way to mention one of the victims' saggy, gray underwear before he dies. I was more disgusted by the saggy briefs than the murder.
I feel a bit foolish that I didn't know the movie Hellraiser was based on this novella until my book club buddy told me at our meeting. Because I read an e-version rather than the DTB, I didn't have the benefit of all the creepy drawings. (Tip #1: Read the DTB. Actually there is only one tip.) I said to my friends, "Hey! That picture looks like that guy Pinhead from that horror movie!" Cue the cricket noises. Considering how short this work is (around 125 pages), Barker really packs a punch of a story. The brevity of the work really limits characterization and plot development. It felt like I was walking down a cafeteria line and just looking at all the things I could have but then never taking a bite of any of it. What kind of woman would just start killing people to feed blood to the demonish presence that may or may not be her brother-in-law with whom she had a rape-and-if-not-rape-certainly-rapey experience with before her wedding? Who the hell moves into a house where one room is totally dank and seemingly haunted? Who disposes of bodies and/or bags of bones by just tossing them in the spare room? Who finds a crazy-ass box in a haunted house and just starts playing around with it? (because that can only have GOOD results, right?) I just had to stop typing for a second to laugh at the memory of us rehashing the plot of this novella at book club.
Here's the lowdown:
Was it scary? No.
Am I an idiot for not realizing Hellraiser was based on this book? Yes.
Do I recommend it to horror lovers? Meh, not really.
Was it worth the read? Yes, for the weirdness.
Do I want to watch the movie now? Yes, if only to see if there is a seahorse fetus scene.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0061002828, Mass Market Paperback)Clive Barker is widely acknowledged as the master of nerve-shattering horror. The Hellbound Heart is one of his best, one of the most dead-frightening stories you are likely to ever read, a story of the human heart and all the great terrors and ecstasies within.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:05:49 -0400)
Originally published in an anthology collection called "Night Visions", this long novella was the basis for the film "Hellraiser". Considered by many Barker fans to be among his best, the story introduces Pinhead, the leader of a group of hell-spawned demons called Cenobites, as he (it?) tries to secure the soul of Uncle Frank, who foolishly thought that he could arrive at the gateway to ultimate pleasure without traveling a path of grisly torture and pain.… (more)

Strawberry Cheesecake Brownies
I layered them in Hershey's Brownie mix with a cream cheese topping instead.
I've written about 15 different paragraphs about these brownies, and then deleted everything and started over. Such food blogger block today!
Hopefully I have already won your affection. I tried to make the strawberries look like a heart on top of the brownie. See? Who needs chit chat, right? They speak for themselves.
Shopping List
One box Original Supreme Hershey's Brownie mix
2 eggs
¼ cup canola oil
¼ cup water
1 lb strawberries (sliced lengthwise)
8 oz. cream cheese (room temp)
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. With an electric mixer, combine the brownie mix, 1 egg, water and oil until smooth.
Line a 9x13 pan with foil, grease it, and pour in half of your brownie mix. Layer your strawberry slices across the surface. Then cover the strawberries with the remaining brownie mix.
In a separate bowl mix your cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and one egg until smooth. Throw in a small handful of berries for some more color and flavor (optional).
Pour your cream cheese topping over the brownie mix and with a rubber spatula or spoon carefully smooth it over completely. You might end up swirling in some chocolate from the brownies but that's okay.
Bake for about 40 minutes or until the toothpick in the center trick works.

Endeavor is a game about a dwarf trying to uncover an ancient secret. Or maybe it's about exploring, climbing, and swimming. Or perhaps it's about collecting powerups and treasure. Or possibly it's just about killing things.
With multiple endings, quests, interactive npcs and ambient critters, it's my most involving game yet! It features many original musical tracks, several upgrades, and an engaging climbing and endurance scheme.
Left/Right arrows to move
X to jump
Up/Down arrows to climb
P to pause and display collections
C to advance text
Q to return to the title screen (Use this if the game gets stuck for some reason!)
Volume controls:

0 to mute
This game was made in one month for the Ludum Dare October challenge, though it took another month for release!
If you like this game, be sure to check out some other AWESOME games that inspired me!

(Remove the two spaces in the link to get it to work... I'm not sure why it's doing that!)
Feel free to pm me with any comments or questions you have!
Note: Once you've reached an ending, you won't be able to get a different ending without restarting the game. Don't worry, getting the other endings is much faster when you know where everything is!
Update: Some people are getting lag whenever they touch a flower- this is due to an auto-save feature that I've decided to remove (note that the game still autosaves whenever you collect a powerup or switch screens, just not on touching flowers anymore). I've submitted the latest version which should get approved soon, so bear with me! Thanks for playing!
Update 12/2: There seems to be a bug with running out of endurance underwater and getting trapped in air bubbles. I'm working on fixing it! If this happens, press Q to return to the main menu, and then reload your save file.
Update 12/3: Patched to fix the underwater bug, pressing escape now pauses AND unpauses. Added tip menu screen to press p to see collections. Also added an additional creature on the island above the light beam. Hopefully the update goes live soon!
Update 12/11: Added a link to a full map of the game, see above!

The game is very long, but it never gets boring! GREAT JOB! I love playing this style of gaming :P Kudos to you
Rated 5 / 5 stars December 6, 2010
Great game!
The game was truly one of the best flash games I've played, which is saying something.
I played and got two endings, someone said there was a third, but I couldn't find it.
The only thing I have against it is actually my fault, I knew what was happening my first time through, but I couldn't find the lightning until I had all the gems, so I couldn't get the better ending.
But overall it's a great game, the gameplay's good, I like the graphics, the storyline was great, and the music was even nice.
I'd like to see a sequel or another game like it.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- A Senate committee has approved legislation that could lead to the phasing out of basic landline service in Kentucky in yet another step of telephone deregulation.
Telephone companies have been pressing lawmakers to lift a regulation to provide the cheapest landline service in areas where other options are available.
The Senate Economic Development, Tourism and Labor Committee voted 9-1 on Tuesday to pass the bill sponsored by Republican state Sen. Paul Hornback of Shelbyville.
Opponents claim the legislation would be especially harmful for the poor in Kentucky's rural areas who use basic phone service.
The measure now goes to the full Senate for consideration.
The legislation is Senate Bill 12.

TIFTON, GA (WALB) - A week from Tuesday, people will cast their vote for Georgia's next governor. Democratic candidate Roy Barnes made a campaign stop at Tifton's Agrirama.
Among the country music and corn maze, Roy Barnes, continues to show Georgians his heart is deeply rooted in agriculture.
"This area is so dependent on agriculture research and we don't have the funding we need," said Barnes.
he want's to bring in that funding using value-added agriculture which helps farmers prosper as the food industry changes. Improved research and education are at the forefront of his campaign as he meets with supporters at the Peanut Museum.
Gale Buchanan is a former US Department of Agriculture researcher under the Bush Administration.
Unlike Deal, Barnes supports the Farm Bill which provides research, food assistance, support for agricultural marketing and more.
The water crisis is also a concern both Barnes and Deal say they'll address if they're elected.
Barnes will continue on his Make Georgia Work Tour through October 30th. Challenger Nathan Deal and District 2 Congressional candidate Mike Keown will makes stops on a GOP bus tour Tuesday in Albany, Blakely, and Thomasville.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The 2012/13 school year saw many changes for this school and not for the better. I pulled my child out halfway through the year and I've not looked back. It's sad because we had been a Hadfield family for years and it was such a great school.
My kids have attended this school for 4 years. Starting the 2012-2013 things have gone down hill. Unorganized and the principal makes it more then obvious she doesn't care about the school, children and parents. It's sad because the teachers, counselors, social worker is wonderful. This could be a great school with a principal who did her job and was supportive of the children.
I have had my children at Hadfield for many years. They have always gone above and beyond! As of the 2012/2013 school year I have been very disappointed. I had to pull my children out of the school. It's very disappointing because my husband and I purposely bought a home in the Hadfield district. Something needs to be done!!!!
Best elementary school in Waukesha, Great staff and Principal. Down to earth compassionate and sensible leadership where the needs of the kids are paramount. I only wish every elementary school could be like Hadfield.
This school (Hadfield) has EXCELLENT Teachers and assistants. I have two teenage daughters, and am a single Mom. My daughters went to this school from Pre-K all the way through 6th grade. I do have one daughter who had a speech IEP for three years, and the Speech Therapist(s) at this school made great strides for my daughter. Each and every one of the Teachers always took time with each one of my daughters and their education. Being a single Mother, the principal was always available for any resources I may have needed. We had our hard times, and we could always count on Hadfield to be there for us for education and beyond! I now have two very educated teeagers in High School. They will always take what they've learned through Hadfield Elementary School throughout the rest of their lives. I highly recommend this school for ANY and ALL in Waukesha, WI.
I love Hadfield school because my son went to this school he is autistic, he isn't eligible for any autisme program (he's born in France not citizenship).Hadfield help him with special education and give us a support .I'm Hadfield elementary school .
We love Hadfield! We choice our children into Hadfield because of the community that this school builds between families, kids, staff and neighborhood. Not only is the building filled with compassionate, caring teaching faculty, but all members of the staff are always welcoming and supportive. Hadfield supports the needs of all kids: GT, English Learners and Special Education. Hadfield is growing the next leaders in the Waukesha Community!
We have nothing but praise for our experience at Hadfield School. The teachers and staff are caring and involved, the expectations for behavior are high, and there are tons of family activities to participate in. When we moved to Waukesha, we were surprised to find some snobbery between schools in adjoining neighborhoods. I would send my kids to any school in Waukesha, but I really like the diversity at Hadfield. The students are very tolerant, and my kids have never felt any pressure to dress or act a certain way. Also, a lot of the Hadfield kids in our neighborhood are leaders in academics, sports, and music in high school. If you're looking for solid academics, strong discipline and leadership, and a diverse mix of kids, you'll like Hadfield.
My daughter has attended private schools before coming to Waukesha two years ago. One of my majors in college was education. I student taught in MPS and know what standards I want for our daughter. When we chose a school for her we toured all the private school in the area, as well as several public ones. We chose Hadfield for a number of reasons, and my expectations were succeeded in all areas. My daughter is doing very well in school, feels respected and is taught according to her abilities. She attends many after school programs, as well as the her values nor her discipline as I work each day. I am proud of Hadfield as our neighborhood school, and am satisfied that our research into the school system has paid off in choosing the very best school for our daughter, Hadfield Elementary School!
I pulled my children from Hadfield Elementary due to their low educational standards and lack of staff direction. It was shameful and I have higher standards for my children's education.
I recommend Hadfield school to anyone who is not happy with the school their kids go to. My 7 year old couldn't read. Hadfield school got her a reading teacher, who was so nice, and help my daughter learn to read. My children can get to school early and have breakfast with all of their class mates. They have a fenced in play ground that keeps the kids safe. They have good communications, with me. When my kids are sick, or hurt themselves while at school, they give me a call. They really care about helping my children be happy and have a safe learning environment. I like the rules of the school where bullying, and name calling, is not allowed. They teach the kids to respect each other and to work together. The teachers go out of their way to help the kids succeed.
Hadfield is one of the best schools my children have ever attended. My children have gone to a few different schools and Hadfield is by far the best school so far. The teachers are compationate and understanding. They go above and beyond to help my boys and our family in general.We are moving and having to leave this school...But if there was any way to stay we would. It is great when you find teachers and a principal who care about teaching our kids not only academics but also teach them how to become a better well rounded human being. We will miss this school.

In Defense of the... Defense
The numbers you see are pretty straight forward with the caveat that some common sense is needed to interpret them. I chose three of the players I did because of departures/arrival and then Greene as something of a replacement level baseline who is the most likely to improve this season.
A couple notes:
1) Matt Greene spent a miniscule about of time (just 5 minutes) killing penalties during this year's playoffs. Edmonton allowed a goal against during this time and hence his PKGA/hr is an inflated 12. No doubt he's not in Pronger's league when it comes to killing penalties, but he probably gets screwed a bit with the small sample size.
2) Likewise, Shaggy looks like a PK monster by the numbers I've got and in his case the number is so good that you'd have to find at least a few flaws in the way I calculated it before he loses his shine.
Flaws aside, the real question is simply of how much worse we'll be this year than last.
As the most potentially surprising statement I will make about the Oilers' D, Edmonton is a better team if you take last year's defense and make a Spacek for Tjarnqvist trade straight up. Shaggy is much better on the PK, comparable on the powerplay though his career numbers are lower, and more reliable at even strength. It's possible that these numbers are just a projection of the frustration #6 imbued me with last year (with his play in both zones) but I just can't see how Edmonton would lose such a trade. Jaro is obviously the more offensive of the two but not by enough IMO to make up for his defensive shortcomings to Tjarnqvist.
I can only assume that at least one pessimist is raring to have at me for a post that's shaping up to bely a high koolaid intake. Rest assured, my conclusions regarding FCP are less rosy.
Chris Pronger went ES +6 with 9 ES points over 24 playoff games against the toughest possible opposition. He was excellent on the powerplay, made smart decisions all playoff long and was a minute eater in all situations. There is no way to suggest that his contribution will be replaced by the 2006/2007 squad and no one would claim otherwise.
However, with the Oilers benefiting marginally from the Spacek for Shaggy trade, we're not as far away from respectable as many would think. Our penalty kill won't suffer as much as most believe. At even strength, it's more than likely that one of Smith and Staios will be on the ice in all key situations. While this does make for a team that will be be exposed by opposing stars often enough, much of the losses will be made up by having average to above average save percentace hold the fort and some of them will be tempered by more offense from the forwards.
Have a look at these and your own numbers and draw your own conclusions. It's obvious that 2006/07 is going to be a lessen in patience for Oiler fans. Bottles will be drank triumphantly one night and thrown violently the next. Are we screwed? My answer is a resounding hell no.

To me, life is all about creating moments (whether good or bad) that you'll be able to tell your kids about someday. For this man in Ireland, this will be one where his kids will laugh at him.
The guy pictured (name withheld) went to a McDonald's in Ireland early Wednesday morning after a night of drinking and decided he wanted to sit in a high chair. He accomplished that task. The part where he tries to get out though? THAT part took three police officers to get him out. No charges were filed.
"Kids, did I tell you about the time I got stuck in a high chair at McDonald's?" is a perfect story for this man later in life.

On the Project Runway season finale, you could almost hear the collective groaning and swearing across America when Gretchen Jones was announced as the winner.
The battle for the season villain was always down to Gretchen and Ivy. Ivy was blatantly mean to all the contestants, while Gretchen talked a lot of smack about the others' designs, particularly about Michael C.'s abilities. She came off as egotistical and juvenile. Pretty much nothing the producers showed of her made her the least bit likable.
Of course this is a show about talent and not personality, but some of Gretchen's designs, particularly toward the end, were simply atrocious. And I still don't know what Gretchen's affinity for the granny panty look is: Check out the evidence to the right.
I just don't get it!
Need a recap of some of her infamous moments? Here's a roundup of looks from the past few episodes and some of her more memorable quips from the season.
She barely got into the final 3 because what she showed the judges from her collection was so boring and monotone. And then remember how terrible her New York-inspired look was, which somehow was based off of the Lower East Side? She also bombed big time during the activewear challenge, where she created a gray bathrobe.
Granny panties!On the other hand, Mondo blossomed beautifully during all of these challenges, and he was the clear winner and fan favorite up until Nina Garcia and Michael Kors took it all away from us.
In my opinion, Michael Kors came across as terrible during the finale. He seemed whiny and sniveling, and many viewers are surmising that he was jealous of Mondo's vision because the clothes he designs are so boring. But I digress ...
Back to Gretchen: When you get a lecture from Tim Gunn about how you sabotaged your team, clearly that's a sign that you should never be the winner of Project Runway. Nearly everyone cheered when Tim said what we all were thinking during the team challenge:
I have a few words for Team Luxe. I fundamentally do not understand your behavior and demeanor and affect on the runway. I don't get it. I don't know why you allowed Gretchen to manipulate, control, and bully you. I don't understand it.
What frustrates me most is that she'll feel that all of her belitting her fellow contestants' designs behind their backs has been validated. She's one of the most narcassistic contestants I've ever seen, and she didn't even have the talent to back up her ego, especially in more recent episodes. Some are even saying that because the show was on Lifetime, they needed a female winner. If that's the case, we all should just stop watching.
Seriously?Here are some of her more infamous lines from the season. Yep, here is the winner of Project Runway, Season 8.
You stay classy, Gretchen.
What did you think about Gretchen on this season of Project Runway?
Images via MyLifetime.com
Gretchen's style is defined as earthy/bohemian and that's it. Mondo showed much more promise and diversity in his style. While his colors and patterns are bold, he showed he could tone down his more eccentric tastes when he made that Mary Tyler Moore inspired outfit. He can still be Mondo while catering to more classic tastes while Gretchen cannot get out of Gretchen. I didn't like her collection as a whole. I'm pretty sure she used the same fabric and pattern for each piece. I wish Mondo luck though because he is very talented!
Hadn't seen the episode yet. Oh well.
Yeah....I was for Mondo...still am. I'm sure he'll make a name for himself....but I'm not so sure she will...
WTF! I hate everything about Gretchen from her snotty, bully attitude to her ugly mullet to her gross clothes. Mondo should have won hands down. I think I am sooo done with watching this show. It's supposed to be about magic and inspiration rather than drab 80's really fugly pantsuits and baaaad prints. Although I know it's not a personality contest, I really think Mondo and Michael C. were the most humble and beautiful personalities...and the only ones' clothes that I would ever consider wanting to wear.
BTW, I was bummed to see this headline before I saw the show. Next time, maybe you could use a spoiler alert with "The PR winner is..." As it was I saw it, went to watch my tivo-ed episode and was fuming the whole way through about Gretchen.
Finally, I think you hit Michael Kors dead on as "Michael Kors came across as terrible during the finale. He seemed whiny and sniveling, and many viewers are surmising that he was jealous of Mondo's vision because the clothes he designs are so boring." Bravo! Fire his ass! Put my hero Tim Gunn in his place.
Finally, was Nina wearing chain link last night? WTF, maybe that's why she thought Gretchen 80's drab was so "current." She's still living in the 80's herself.
Why did Heidi let them win? Heidi I am so disappointed.
And what the heck was going on with Jessica Simpson's mouth/chin? It looked swollen and paralyzed like she botoxed? Weird.
That's all. Got my rant out! Heh!
~Heather Murphy-Raines
It was the Worst!!! Can't believe those ugly designs, with the ugly fabric . Heidi needs to get rid of Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Maybe Michael K is just old and has been. New judge blood, maybe younger designers as judges. Stupid stupid judges!
I agree with what you ladies have said. It was the worst collection. And now that you mention it, I do think Michael Kors was acting a bit too diva at the finale. I would be happy if they replaced him with Tim Gunn and Nina with Cristian Siriano!

ate there last night with my wife and kids.waitress was completely unprofessional, she brought our plates out before putting the dinnerware once the plates were out it took her about another 5 minutes to put out forks knives etc cetera. My wifes chicken Caesar salad was dry, my vaca frita had absolutely no flavor. The black beans that would serve to us were cold. I had to ask the waitress for an extra plate on 3 different occasions. She waited till we were done eating before she asked if everything was okay and if we wanted extra drinks or refills. This restaurant is in an incredibly nice part of the city the setting is excellent and has a lot of potential, but unfortunately the waitress at service was completely unprofessional. However I still decided to leave a small tip just because. No intentions of going back there anytime soon or recommending it to any of my friends.

We have been going to Casavana for over three years now, back when it was called Sergio's. We have yet to have a bad meal or less than friendly, good service here. We go just about every Saturday morning for breakfast and sometimes we grab dinner here as well. Everything on the menu is delicious, but the bistec empanizado, croquettas, tortillas, french fries, tamales, and cafes are some of the best I have found in Miami. The only criticism I have is that the parking lot gets packed sometimes because of the park next door. Make sure you ask for Alba or Lisette to get great service.

Gallery posts: The inner Other (red pepper
14 December 2009
The art establishment has not always paid much attention to the women who actively participated in the milieu of surrealism, as though their only roles were as the muses or spouses of male geniuses. This view denies the importance of a number of women artists whose own creative output merits much greater esteem in its own right, and whose work has only belatedly been brought to wider attention in recent years.

Kendall College Culinary Arts Students Win American Culinary Federation Regional Knowledge Bowl
Student team is Central Regional champion of Baron H. Galand Culinary Knowledge Bowl for 4th year in a row
Chicago—May 6, 2013— A team of five students enrolled in the Kendall College School of Culinary Arts' associate and baccalaureate programs beat nine other teams on April 30 to win the Central Regional Baron H. Galand Culinary Knowledge Bowl at the American Culinary Federation's (ACF) 2013 Central Regional Conference in Little Rock, Ark.
This is the fourth consecutive year that a Kendall College team has swept this annual regional competition to qualify for finals.
This year's team, comprised of Brenda Martinez (captain), Jeremy Noga, Chelsea Parks, Nicole Zapletal and Chris Lutz (alternate), competed against student teams from foodservice-training programs at postsecondary schools throughout ACF's Central Region stretching from Minnesota and Michigan to Texas and Louisiana. As regional champion, the Kendall College team will compete for the national title against the finalist teams representing the ACF's three other regions on July 23 at the ACF's 2013 National Convention in Las Vegas, Nev. Among the four regional finalists, the team with the highest score will be named the national ACF Baron H. Galand Culinary Knowledge Bowl winner for 2013.
"We are extremely proud of the students who excelled so admirably in the ACF's Central Regional Knowledge Bowl to earn Kendall College a win for a fourth year in a row," says Renee Zonka, RD, CEC, CHE, dean of the Kendall College School of Culinary Arts, who was on hand in Little Rock along with team coach and chef-instructor Dina Altieri, CEC, CCE, to support the Kendall team. "Their hard work and dedication to preparing for this year's competition was remarkable, and competing for the national title in July against other top regional teams will be an exciting and enriching educational experience. We'll be in Las Vegas to cheer them on for a hopeful win."
Kendall College won the national Knowledge Bowl championship at the ACF's annual conventions in Dallas, Texas, in 2011 and Anaheim, Calif., in 2010.
The Baron H. Galand Culinary Knowledge Bowl tests the acumen of culinary-arts students via a "Jeopardy"-style subjects grid that includes challenging culinary, baking, nutrition, sanitation and math questions as well as sensory perception. The competition is named after the late chef Baron H. Galand, CEC, AAC, who served as national president of the ACF from 1983 to 1987. First held at the ACF's 1992 National Convention in Washington, D.C., today the four geographic regions of the ACF hold the competition at their respective conferences in winter and spring to qualify teams to compete for the national title at the ACF's convention in summer.

Silly to think that socialists have a monopoly on neighborly support.It's not love of neighbor that leads a government to steal from one group of saving citizens to give to another group of spending citizens. You're from across the Atlantic though, I guess you've not noticed that taking property from individuals is stealing … wonder when that was abandoned.
You've gotta be kidding. The Plymouth Brethren point out that even today they reject this silly, simplistic view of the situation around Massachusetts Bay.

great, chastisement for one side, but the other side must change.
"We can't negotiate with those who say what's mine is mine and what's yours is negotiable." With the party of Kennedy violating its own principles for power, I'm not really optimistic.
Just fun to watch. Obama approves the message that giving people "health" insurance against the morals of those paying is being "anti-women" or "anti-choice". Then they claim letting people keep what they own (a Constitutional right, btw) is "bad", and should be taxed away.
Human liberty is what's under attack.

Even the Washingcompost has given credit where it's due to Fox reporting the facts and itself, faltering.
Great comic, Ramirez. The Democrats had more control of Congress than anytime back to WW II, and couldn't change. Why, the national debt climbed over 50% in 4 years, and continues to the tune of $4B / day. Economy remains drowning in gov. red ink — and we don't want the Pres' to continue on his failed path.
"Forward" is into the brink. "Forward, the Light Brigade!"

This is not the time to experiment with different foods! There are different ideas on how to fuel for endurance events like marathons. Today, most exercise physiologist agree that the most effective way to prepare for a major endurance event is to change your training before the event, NOT your diet. However, this is assuming that you already eat a healthy sports diet of 55-70% carbohydrates!
Note: Specific fueling and hydration guidelines are based on individual sweat rate, body weight, and level of fitness. Do not try anything on race day that you have not practiced in training.
Getting enough carbohydrates during your race will not only help you physically go the distance, but also gives your brain the fuel it needs to think clearly and keep you on a positive track during the race!
