Approaching 375,000 miles would be an impressive milestone for any car but what about 15 cars? To say you built 15 cars and their cumulative miles are in excess of 300,000 says a great deal for the cars along with the products and builders. The STREET RODDER Road Tour project began 15 cars ago with the intent to prove that you can build a street rod using industry products and then drive it anywhere at any time.
In the Road Tour history, 15 vastly different cars were driven approximately 25,000 miles per year, built by nearly a dozen different builders, and assembled with numerous industry products yielding the same results: a street rod you can drive. The assortment of pre- and post-'48 coupes, sedans, roadsters, phaetons, pickups, etc. have attended many NSRA, Syracuse Nationals, and Cruisin' Ocean City events, visited dozens of street rod shops and industry manufacturers, while touring various museums, collections, historical sites, landmarks, and much more. But more importantly the cars have and continue to be exposed to the very rodders who buy the product. The Road Tour cars have always been accessible for one and all to see to make their own findings.
This year's AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour Shadow Rods XL27 roadster pickup is the latest in a line of successful projects. Based on a Shadow Rods XL27, the roadster pickup and chassis is a rolling street rod shop showing off the latest in product and build standards.
The Shadow Rods XL27 chassis was delivered to Zane Cullen of Cotati Speed Shop for assembly, some good ol' fashion fabrication, painting (PPG paints), and a bit of wood working. Cullen took the chassis replete with a Super Bell I-beam axle and a Moser-equipped 9-inch Ford rearend (AMSOIL filled) and began to apply his outstanding craftsmanship efforts. You will see at the corners Pete & Jakes shocks, Wilwood disc brakes, and Wheel Vintiques wheels wrapped in Coker rubber. (The XL27 will be showcased at varying times with one of four wheel-and-tire combos: Wheel Vintiques powdercoated red steelies outfitted with Canadian Merc caps surrounded by Coker bias-ply skins; Wheel Vintiques cream-colored artillery wheels with caps and rings; again wrapped in Coker bias-ply, Wheel Vintiques black powdercoated rims and red centers with stainless wires and radial Coker rubber; and last, Wheel Vintiques black OE steelies with spider caps and the popular Coker Dirt Track front and rear rubber.)
Other chassis components include the Flaming River steering box, Totally Stainless fasteners, and loads of brightwork applied by Sherm's Custom Plating. Between the '32 'rails is the powertrain made up of a Smeding "big" 427-inch small-block Ford V-8 (based on a 351 with 460 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque filled with AMSOIL engine oil), a Gearstar-prepped Ford AOD overdrive that Gearstar develops into a Level IV with a 10-inch lockup converter (AMSOIL filled), which includes Lokar Performance Product shifter and cables, and the Moser nodular centersection (AMSOIL gear lube) is used along with a 31-spline TrueTrac differential, 3.50 Motive Gear ring-and-pinion, custom alloy axles, and the brand-new Moser 9-inch round back housing. Other engine appointments include a PerTronix ignition, Patriot headers and exhaust system with SFI VaraFlow stainless mufflers, an Aeromotive fuel system, and custom C. Cook Enterprises air cleaner and valve covers.
The Shadow Rods PPG Sonic Blue painted body (outfitted with a C. Cook Enterprises hood and grille shell and filled with an Alumicraft grille insert) is loaded with plenty of Dynamat to quiet and cool the occupants, Rod Tops top and window curtains (the truck is equipped with Steele Rubber Products weatherstripping), Wise Guys seating in conjunction with Time Machines Unlimited interior, and Flaming River steering column and wheel. The Vintage Air heat/cool system, Custom Autosound stereo, Auto Meter gauges along with the Greening Automotive lighting are coupled via Painless Performance wiring. Keeping the paint and brightwork shining and looking like new falls to California Car Covers latest new product Golden Shine car care products. (Of course, the real challenge will be teaching Road Tour chauffeur Jerry Dixey how to use a polish rag!)
Visually one of the focal points on this year's ride is the pickup bed. The bed wood comes by way of Bed Wood and Parts, add to this a very nifty rack, cargo locking system from Mac's Custom Tie-Downs, and custom gear bags. Cotati built the good-looking "floating" platform that sits above the bed (Bed Wood and Parts) and between the wooden sides, which holds the oversized gear bag made by Francis Minaglia.
The interior is loaded with street rod delights, like a Time Machines Unlimited interior and the Wise Guys fully adjustable, heated bucket seats. The dash is fitted with Auto Meter gauges, Vintage Air heat/cooling ducts and their respective control knobs, suspended from the dash is a Flaming River steering column and wheel. Other rodding components include the Lokar Lakester Series throttle and pedal pads, shifter, and one very important item you can't see but surely can hear-the Custom Autosound Secret Stereo.
When you read this article, Dixey will have driven the '10 Road Tour roadster pickup nearly 15,000 miles well on his way to 20,000-plus miles for the summer. That's pretty incredible when you think of it-a street rod driven upwards of 25,000 miles in one summer from coast to coast. How many of us have driven our street rods 25,000 miles, regardless of the number of summers, and thrown in nearly faultless performance? I dare say precious few. The Road Tour proves you can have a good-looking, well-performing street rod using nothing more than what's available.

Keys To Prescribing Orthotics For Sports, Neuromas And High Heels
- Volume 25 - Issue 10 - October 2012
- 8011 reads
- 0 comments
As Dr. Wernick notes, the object in orthotic design is to control motion in the subtalar joint while stabilizing the lateral column with an arch both under the calcaneocuboid joint as well as the medial side. One can achieve this by modifying the positive impression with the removal of plaster under the calcaneocuboid joint area. Dr. Wernick cites the importance of resisting flattening of the lateral arch. He also notes that since most shoes, particularly women's shoes, have a last that has the longest part of the shoe at the third toe, there is a lateral compression force.
In regard to orthotic modifications for a neuroma, Dr. Valmassy says in some cases the use of a forefoot extension that leads to the sulcus is helpful in providing some additional shock absorption and cushioning in the forefoot. He also notes that utilizing a pad in the interspace to separate the metatarsals in a gentle fashion will sometimes reduce the compression on the neuroma or the neuritis. Dr. Wernick usually asks patients to be quite cautious in regard to the shoes they utilize as a more flexible forefoot will tend to increase pressure to the neuroma site whereas a stiffer soled shoe will clearly increase the overall correction of the orthotic device.
The crest pad improves performance of the digits, thereby lessening the retrograde irritation that occurs with pathomechanically induced over activity, according to Dr. D'Amico. He notes that the orthotic device itself must realign the osseous and soft tissue structures, and promote normal function in order for any modification to achieve its full potential.
Dr. Beekman is a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine. He is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine.
Dr. Valmassy is a Past Professor and Past Chairman of the Department of Podiatric Biomechanics at the California College of Podiatric Medicine. He is a staff podiatrist at the Center for Sports Medicine at St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco.
Dr. Wernick is a Professor in the Department of Orthopedic Sciences at the New York College Of Podiatric Medicine. He is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and the Medical Director of Eneslow Comfort Shoes and Langer, Inc.
Dr. D'Amico is a Professor and Past Chairman in the Division of Orthopedics at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics. Dr. D'Amico is in private practice in New York City.

Do You Have Café Curtains?
A café curtain is a style of curtain that only covers the bottom half of the window. It basically offers a bit of privacy while still allowing you to enjoy your view. I normally find them too country and kitschy for my tastes, but this chic and simple white linen one is making me reconsider. Do you have one?

List of Crazy: Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg (Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr) is mainly famous for his 30 million album sales and cameo appearances in films, but there are many more reasons for his fame/infamy…
Changed his name to Snoop Lion in Jamaica earlier this year as believes he is the reincarnation of Bob Marley: "I didn't know until I went to the temple where the High Priest asked me what my name was," he explains, "I said, 'Snoop Dogg.' And he looked me in my eyes and said, 'No more. You are the light; you are the lion.'"
Has a mascot named Nasty Dogg, a pot-bellied person wearing a dog head and sporting pigtail braids. He dances but mostly follows Snoop around the stage waving his hands/paws. Nasty Dogg also enjoys walking around with giant joints and large fake penises.
Recently re-wrote and re-recorded "Drop it Like It's Hot" to advertise American microwaveable snack Hot Pockets. Includes an announcement that he's "got some cheesy drizzle/dripping on my shizzle."
Popularised the slang suffix "-izzle" (check out Double-Dutch Bus by Frankie Smith in 1981 for the original use), that can be tagged onto the end of most words. "Fo shizzle" may be the most popular (translation: for sure) but check out Gizoogle to tranzizzle a site (translation: translate) into Snoop-speak or just to, y'know, recommend some shizzle.
Co-wrote a novel called Love Don't Live Here No More with David E Talbert, the first in a series of Doggy Tales about a man called Ulysses Jeffries. No more were made.
Insults people with help from his alter-ego Nemo, his most recent comments were directed towards Kris Humphries with regards his divorce from Kim Kardashian: "my advice is you can't make a ho a housewife. Don't try to reinvent the wheel."
Loves a good endorsement opportunity. Has lent his name to: Norton Antivirus ("Hack is Wack"), hotdogs ("The 'Snoop Dogg' Dog"), Monster energy drinks (did his 1963 Cadillac Coupe de Ville up to look like an energy drink), and German mobile phone company Vybemobile which is, frankly, a personal favourite:
Enjoys learning about cookery with Martha Stewart. Has made mash potatoes and christmas brownies, but requested the brownies be decorated green because "green is environmental."
In 2007, Snoop still had never heard of Harry Potter, quoted delcaring: "I keep hearing about mutha f***ing Harry Potter. Who is this mutha****er?"
Started smoking weed in school and revealed in 2005 that he smoked 2 ounces a day. Has recently quit aged 41 so, conservatively speaking, he has smoked around 682kg in his life- the equivalent of a small car.
Offered Welsh farmer Ian Neale, the owner of the world's largest Swede, tickets to his Cardiff gig in return for some advice on growing his own vegetables. He got some good advice, a packet of rootgrower and then offered 68 year-old Neale a spliff. Which the gardener took because he "didn't want to be rude" despite the fact it "smelled funny."

Drug-related arrests: 7
Firearms-related arrests: 3

Hi! All,
I'm Gil(bert) John Robertson of North Shields, Via Port Lincoln, South Australia. I am just starting out on tracing several of my lines including Robertson, Miller, Hughes, Spencer, Brooks and my wife's Morton, Taylor, West etc, all several generations on either South Australia or Victoria.
I am trying to trace them back to the areas they came from before settling in Australia.
I would like to download the Robertson Ebook, How do I do this?
just go to www.katiebooks.ca, click on readers page, click on the Robertson book icon, then click on the PDF button.
This will start the download process. The book is quite large, 80 MB, and on a high-speed Internet connection will take 7 to 10 min., depending upon your connection speed, to download.
One branch of this Robertson family settled in Australia sometime since 1950. I believe his name was John Robertson. He and his branch of the family were living in Sydney in the last 10 years.
Good luck with your search,
Edward was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland and lived in Nova Scotia & Marion Co., W. Va.
Edward married: Margaret Snedden (b. ca. 1806).
Their children: Elizabeth, Margaret Winning, Mary Fox, Peter, James, Barbara Cook & George Washington Robertson.
My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Would be interested in comparing info, and seeing if it's the same Robertsons.

Earlier today, several federal health directors testified before the US House of Representatives. Many questions focused on sequestration's possible impact on our federal prevention, research and health care agencies. The graph below may help to inform this continued discussion.
A video of today's hearing begins at minute mark 0:22:55 here.
Because of sequestration and cuts in prior years, the CDC's budget authority is $724 million less today than it was in FY 2005.
The agency's total budget of $6.5 billion, which includes transfers and the Prevention and Public Health Fund, has grown by only $190 million over that same time.*
These numbers do not tell the full story.
These cuts come at a time when surveys are finding a 21% reduction in the nation's total state and local health department workforce.
* Total FY13 budget numbers assume the Prevention and Public Health Fund allocations to the CDC will be lower due to the sequester, but similar to levels provided in 2012. Exact PPHF allocations for FY13 are yet to be determined.
Last week Pfizer shared interesting news about healthy aging. This article addresses the growing health concerns for the elderly. Today Americans live much longer but, also suffer long-term, chronic conditions in the last years of their lives. This study focuses on preventative measures such as health screenings, vaccination programs and wellness initiatives. By focusing on these efforts, we can look forward to healthier years and reduced healthcare spreading.
By Bruce Ruscio, DrPH, and Karl Moeller, MPA
Can the federal government save money by spending it? It seems crazy on the face of it, but vaccines are among the most cost-effective ways to prevent disease and reduce health care costs. The human and economic impact of providing vaccines in keeping with the CDC's current routine childhood immunization schedule prevents more than 40,000 deaths and 20 million cases of disease. It saves more than $10 billion in direct medical costs for each birth cohort vaccinated – costs which we would all pay one way or the other.
The CDC's Section 317 immunization program, which supports critical public health immunization infrastructure and provides vaccine services to low-income and uninsured children, adolescents and adults, is paid for with non-defense discretionary funding. It serves all states, territories and protectorates, and provides vaccines to underinsured children and adolescents. It is also under threat of major cuts after the election. The threat comes from several directions.
Congress can cut funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, literally, overnight – yet history tells us prevention programs are costly and difficult to re-establish. An effective immunization program is more than just providing vaccine vials to providers. These programs include vaccine management efforts, disease and vaccine expertise, risk communications, disease surveillance, and workforce programs, among other system elements needed to ensure high vaccination coverage levels.
In 2000, an excellent article by Johnson, et al (see footnote)reviewed more than four decades of the Section 317 funding. The study found that when policy makers in Congress and the White House understood a new problem, epidemic or new vaccine, they supported the program with funding and policies. Conversely, when a crisis was resolved, funding contracted until the inevitable next disease crises emerged. What may be new is that these cuts are coming at a time when more and more parents have concerns and questions about vaccinations and when vaccine-preventable illnesses outbreaks of whooping cough and measles are occurring in our cities and towns.
The truth is that steady funding would save more lives and prevent more illness, but underappreciating prevention is a chronic condition among many policy makers. Surely, the current budget cage-rattling is troubling for public health funding, but even more disturbing is the trend for prevention programs generally. We should think long-term and spend now to save later.

Special thank you to CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden for speaking at the NHANES and Public Health Data Briefing hosted by The CPH Foundation on Thursday, September 20th. Check out our video of Dr. Frieden and stay tuned for more videos to come soon.

Because congressional leaders failed to reach a bipartisan compromise on deficit reduction, the legislative equivalent of a deficit-reducing guillotine now hangs by a tripwire over federal spending. If the guillotine falls on January 2, 2013, every "discretionary" federal program - or 40% of federal spending - will face cuts of 8 percent or more.
To date, the media (and most politicians) have focused on the possible defense industry job losses that could result. High powered dignitaries are parading through the streets of Washington preaching defense job losses and stories of doom and gloom for defense contractors. Little has been written about the impact such cuts would have on non-defense areas of the budget.
Today, Senator Tom Harkin released a new report, Under Threat - Sequestration's Impact on Nondefense Jobs and Services. Long a proponent of prevention, Senator Harkin's report takes a look at what would happen in other areas of federal spending if these cuts take place. The numbers are troubling. Here are just a few:
Most agree that nothing will happen before November, but if Congress sits on its hands for the few legislative days between the November elections and the fall of the guillotine in January, social service and health programs will take a devastating hit.
One odd fact about guillotines - it seems the head is about 8% of the entire mass of the body. And cutting off your brain as a means to lose weight is about as smart as using a 8% sequester to fix a deficit. Congress must find a meaningful compromise so these grim scenarios don't come to pass.

We keep finding stories of how cuts to public health are backfiring. Given all the politics going on, this line of the Palm Beach Post story made me chuckle; "The CDC sent a $275,000 grant to help pay for the staff needed to contain [the TB outbreak]."
So, let me get this right…
First, Florida's elected officials drastically cut their state health department budget. That cut put a wrench in preventing this outbreak. They then justified not telling the Florida public about the worst TB outbreak in 20 years because the outbreak is just among the homeless and mentally ill.
Anyway, the CDC funding bailout jumped out because on July 2, Florida's Governor told Newsmax he won't implement provisions of Obamacare because it will be "devastating" to Florida families and taxpayers. In the same article, he said Florida has, "a very good safety net for our citizens."
If that is so, why is a guy like me - 680 miles from the Florida border - now paying for Florida's TB response through my federal taxes?
Anyway, I'm sure Florida is going to pay back this federal money and reimburse any more federal support they utilize as they work to address the TB outbreak in their state, right? They don't, after all, need any federal support of their state health care system.
This story is focused on the impact of budget cuts to smoking cessation programs, but you could plug in any number of efforts where prevention funds have been cut back and tell the same story - over and over again. Maternal health, vaccination efforts, STI prevention, disease surveillance efforts, food safety…
We may not see the impact of cuts to prevention for years, but eventually we will - and it will cost us.

Supreme Court Ruling a Positive for Public Health and Prevention
The CPH Foundation is pleased with the Supreme Court's ruling today," said The CPH Foundation's Chairman of the Board Evan Jones. "Because the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act and its Prevention and Public Health Fund, the federal infrastructure we rely on to protect our health remains intact. Work to combat food-borne outbreaks, chronic illnesses, contagious diseases and vaccine preventable illnesses will continue thanks to this Supreme Court decision."
"The Supreme Court's close 5 to 4 decision today averts what would have been a major cut to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's already struggling budget," added Karl Moeller, The CPH Foundation's executive director.
Currently, more than twelve percent of the CDC's core program budget is derived from a prevention-focused fund passed as part of the Affordable Care Act. This funding source would have disappeared had the Supreme Court overturned the law, creating an $800 to $900 million shortfall.
Many challenges still lay ahead. In addition to those who still wish to work for a full repeal of the law, the possibility of sequestration faces legislators this January and could result in a $500 million cut to the CDC. Also, some in Washington have argued that many prevention programs are duplicative if all Americans have access to health insurance.
"The huge needs met by vaccination, cancer screening or other public health programs won't disappear with broader health insurance coverage. Some have proposed dismantling these efforts as a way to cut costs," Moeller said. "Ending programs that save lives is hardly a good way to save money."
Yet another challenge to our health infrastructure remains. State and local health departments, facing tight municipal budgets, have lost more than 52,000 health department employees in the past two years.
"Today was a victory in our ongoing effort to make public health and prevention a higher priority," Jones said. "There is much more to do."

A story in The Washington Post just before the holidays looked into the hard cold numbers behind Medicare spending. For example, did you know enrollment in the program is expected to nearly double from 47 million today to 88 million by 2040?
And once again, not one policy expert, political party platform or number-crunching expert proposes keeping costs down by focusing on preventing disease and disability. The reporter didn't mention prevention either, even though 70 percent of Medicare spending is used to treat preventable conditions.
Anyway, here are some great charts from the piece:

I dont know what to make of this. I'm going to miss Monta and especially Udoh. Love watching him play. Sad that the season is over.
Objectively speaking, the awesomeness of a pro sports all star game could be directly related to the effort level that the stars put into the game. To wit, objectively speaking, baseball has the "best" all star game among the U.S.A.'s 4 major sports. That said, the only reason that baseball players are able to give 85 - 95% in an exhibition game is because the physical requirements of baseball are so low and low risk (Pete "Freight Train" Rose notwithstanding). Swing a bat. Throw a ball. Grab your balls and get a farmer's tan. That's about it.
So, subjectively speaking, I would argue that seeing the NBA's all stars give 60% in the first three quarters and 85% in the fourth is way better than baseball's 9 innings of 90%. I have never watched any part of a hockey all star game (somebody tell me if it's awesome), and I hesitate even to mention the charade that is the NFL's Pro Bowl (aka the Notgoingtothesuper Bowl). Add to that the fact that the NBA's stars are, on average, more charismatic and accessible than any other sport and you get an all star break actually worth paying attention to.
To back up my argument, think about some of the great moments in NBA all star history: Magic's three pointer, MJ vs. Kobe, Marvin Gaye's national anthem, Isaiah Thomas' anit-MJ campaign. Even just last year, the competition between Lebron and Kobe was so fun to watch specifically because you never expect the game to get very competitive… but it almost always does.
TL;DR I'm psyched about this weekend.
then these two
and now…
Greg: Miami 90 - Atlanta 98
Overview: Lock. Down. D. The Hawks are athletic enough and intelligent to slow Miami on the break and stop them in the half court. I know that the Heat stole one from ATL when Lebron and DWade were in suits, but sometimes losing your stars makes you play just that much harder. Look at the Knicks!
Most Exciting Matchup: Josh Smith vs. Lebron James. Lebron is quite clearly the superior player, but few things are as fun to watch as two crazy athletic forwards go head to head.
Least Exciting Matchup; As with last weeks game, the big men are not where the action is at. In a guard driven league, Ivan Johnson and Joel Anthony are not going to make many headlines.
Most Lopsided Matchup: Jeff Teague is gonna run circles around the Heat's rotation of point guards.
Wild Card: Joe Johnson. The All-Star can pour it in, but he's streaky.
Bold Prediction: Lebron James will. not. dunk.
Derek: Miami 108- Atlanta 100
Overview: In this battle of the southeast, the heat look to keep up their winning ways. With Lebron making news in other ways besides his on court performances, look for him to take out his frustration on the hawks.
Most exciting matchup: Joe Johnson vs. Dwade. In this battle of soft spoken shooting guards, this game is going to come down to which one of these two can get hot.
Most lopsided matchup: Lebron vs. Chris Bosh. If Lebron can recognize that Bosh is a matchup nightmare for the Hawks and get the ball to him early, this game is going to be over quickly.
Least exciting matchup: The pg's. Who vs. who? Who cares.
Wild card: Shane "the forehead" Battier. Gotta love the way this Dukie has created his niche in the league as a lockdown defender and deadeye 3point shooter. If he can get going, he'll have a big impact.
Bold prediction: Josh Smith will break both backboards.

i've shopped at debenhams before, and i know tons of you have, too. but i've never shopped their for a purse or pocketbook or clutch or anything. that's all about to change. not only are many of the bags they have super chic, they're also not crazy outrageous expensive. you can tell they're probably well-made for the amount that you're spending, too.
now i commute by train or by riding my electric bike every morning, so i love a cross-body bag. i looked at those first:
this white quilted cross-body bag looks like it could be chanel's cousin. it's on the smaller side, so you won't be putting your ipad or laptop in here, but it's got plenty of space for your phone, wallet, keys, tissue, lip gloss, blotting paper, and maybe a flask if it's going to be that kind of night. not that i've ever done anything like that or anything … it's about $36, btw.
i also love something that's perforated. and i love something that lets me thrown anything and everything all in one bag. this cream cross body bag has a dual compartment – and that can often make it a lot easier to organize what's going on in such a big bag. i've always got way too much in my bag to really wear it with the shorter straps, but if you don't have a ton of stuff in there, you'd look chic with it just slung over the bottom half of your arm. this one's a little bit more at about $86.
this one's actually an award winner! that's right, this black croc laptop bag won the conde nast 2011 innovation and design award. can you imagine if your laptop bag was an innovation and design award winner? crazy! this one's about $85 after the exchange rate is done with you. this one LOOKS a lot more expensive than it is.
here's one that's on sale for those sale hunters out there. (yes, i see you!) this one's got such a great print on it, and it's roomy, too, so you can fit everything in. it's half off and $38. this would be so good to take to the beach or something, right? it's trimmed in leather and has some metallic accents in there, too. this purse would bring some excitement to ANY bland outfit that might need to be punched up a bit.
you've met the cambridge saddle bag in neon colors. now meet this green satchel with zippers. sophisticated and gives off that school-girl vibe, but also super chic if you're going into an office. i like this shade of green, too. it's almost like a neutral because it's not super bright, so you could potentially carry this in your regular purse rotation. $45, and debenham's has great sales on purses and pocketbooks.
this orange color block clutch is giving me some kate spade vibes. i think it's that little fastener in the middle. debenham's has some great little clutches in their purse and handbags section, as well. this one's about $24.
who's in the market for a new pocket book? let me know if you find anything you love at debenhams!

The * Perfect Full Natural Brow *
Anastasia Beverly Hills has been one of my ultimate go-to brands for Brow products for the past year or so. Their range of colours for brows is extensive. Each brow powder is a duo colour, so you have a lighter & darker shade to suit your natural or chosen tone. Alongside the Brow powders are Anastasia's 'Brow Wiz' pencils. These are FANTASTIC! Again, they come in a range of colours, and what I love most about all the products they sell, is that the Brown shades don't have a Red under-base to them. That is a massive issue when I purchase brow products from most other brands, they all contain too much Red which doesn't sit well with most skin tones - mine in particular! ABH Browns are very Ashy which is a huge PLUS!! I have a master palette which has all the duo shades in, and the one for Red haired people is absolutely phenomenal. Until receiving this from Anastasia, I struggled to find the right colour pencil/powder for Red heads. In creating the "Perfect" brow, ABH offer a Highlighter pencil, which is also a Duo; one side is a Matte highlighter and the other is a Shimmer version. I can't tell you enough how much of a difference this makes to creating a clean looking brow. Once again, there's a couple of shades on offer in the Duality Highlighter pencil - How awesome! Then to finish of the 'Perfect' brow, there is a range of Brow Gels to set unruly hairs into place. As I mentioned above, the Brown colours are brilliant as they are Ashy, and the Blonde shades are also fab, as is the Clear Gel! If you struggle to create a shape to your brow, fear not! Anastasia Beverly Hills have created brow stencils, and not just one generic style. There are a range of shapes, in thickness & arch. You can purchase their All In One Brow Kit, which contains everything you need to create the perfect brows. This is the ONLY place to go when it comes to creating the "Ultimate Perfect Brow".
Pictured above is my brow today; I started off with my Brow Wiz pencil in 'Medium Ash' and I lined the based of my brow so it had a definite shape. To soften that line, I used the other end of my Brow Wiz pencil which has a small spooly brush on it. I brushed the hairs upwards, dragging the soft kohl brown with it - softening the line and colouring the brow at the same time.
Then on an angled brush, I used the 'Ash Blonde' brow powder to fill in the front of my Brow. I like to use brush stroke marks to fill in, creating a natural look, then again use the spooly end of my pencil to brush that through and soften the look. Then I used the darker half of my brow powder to fill in the middle and outer half of my brow. After that, I used my pencil to define the very the end of my brow, creating a defined point.
Next, I used the Matte side of my Duality pencil in "Matte Shell" to highlight under the base-line of my brow. I used my finger to blend the colour into my lid. I also ran that colour on the upper side of the brow but only along the outer third. This creates a clean looking shape.
Finally, I used my tinted brow gel in 'Brunette'. Apply this very gently with a light-feather motion, and brush the hairs upwards at the front, and then in the direction of the hair growth towards the ends.
The Perfect Full Natural Looking Brow!
If you're in the UK, you can purchase ABH from Cult Beauty!

they suffered for three days
but us?
what about us?
how long have I been carrying
you around in the shadows of my
skin like some dark secret
how long have you been telling
your family that you'll find a girl
meanwhile your fingers are crossed
under the table
your lips curled tightly
around my name
trying to keep it from falling
out onto the table
I want to eat dinner with you
I want to remember what the
truth tastes like coming out of
my mouth when I tell my parents
where I'm going
It shouldn't be this way
It shouldn't be this hard
since when is love so heavy?
since when does it look different
when my parents wear it?
since when is it something
we are not allowed to have?
When I read Romeo and Juliet
for the first time, I cried so hard
I tasted saltwater for a week
Shakespeare had no idea
about us
I want to love you loudly
I want to hear what your name
sounds like
echoing through the walls
of my house
I want to see you sleepy-eyed in bed
with me
I want to eat breakfast with you
at my kitchen table
and watch the news with
my parents
since when is love something
that has to exist in two different
since when is love the reason I
can't look anyone in the eye?

The mufflers look good and sound good except for a really loud annoying squeak that the baffles make. If it wasn't for that squeak, I would give a higher rating.
austin1984 Posted:
Pipes work and sound great. The sleave that comes with it is a little to big for the V Star 950 so be prepared to buy a new exhaust sleave.
Q dee Posted:
The pipes were as they were its just that I was mislead to thinking they would fit my bike by a Harley chat tech I questioned before ordering then I get them and they did not fit my bike then I sent them back after speaking to CSR and shouldn't have been charged shipping and I was and had to call CSR back and am now waiting for that refund as well so I don't know how good the pipes are since I couldn't use them !!!!!
czukman Posted:
really nice sounds,and the red matched my bike well.

Shane and Kalen
Yesterday was quite the day! Shane bought his ring like a week before I left for Australia and waited for 2.5 weeks to propose so I could photograph it! Shane is one of my best friends and have been helping him plan his engagement for quite some time, but while I was gone Ben and him came up with a new idea that was incredibly awesome!
However yesterday started not as I had planned… I woke up with some seriously bad back pain. I thought it was my bed so I laid down on the floor in my bedroom and the pain went from bad to worse. When I was 11 years old I felt something very familiar to this pain. I immediately knew that I had a kidney stone, because when I was 11 I passed one. Yes, you heard it right, I passed a kidney stone when I was ELEVEN years old. I was actually the youngest kid to pass a Kidney Stone in the state of Oregon. The pain got so bad that I started getting queasy and I ran into the bathroom to throw up. I had not eaten anything so all that happened was some dry heaving. Grant and Trent Creamer were drinking tea in the living room and had heard my moaning and almost vomiting. Their "are you all right?" turned into a "guys, we have to go to the emergency room…" I walked out the front door of our house to get in the car and the pain intensified. I collapsed on the ground in front of our front door. This was immediatly followed by a scream, "Tanner, are you all right?" Rachel Breiwick, a really good friend of mine works at the coffee shop across the street and had witnessed me walk out of my front door and collapse. I put my arm up and gave her a thumbs up. I wish it was a thumbs up…
Trent pulled the car around and I jumped in the front seat. My body was quivering, and I hoarsely told Trent the directions to the UW medical center which is only a 5 minute drive from my house. We walk into the emergency center and it literally took every ounce of strength in my body to stay upright. We had take an elevator to the 2nd floor and I desperately walked into the emergency room. You would think a person in my need and pain would be admitted immediately but it took 5 minutes of information giving and signing for me to be taken into the ER. (JACKED UP)
As I enter the emergency room, they immediately put an IV in me. The pain at this point had started to go away a bit so when she said she was going to give me pain killers I decided I would hold off until the pain worsened. The pain never got worse and about an hour later I was taken to get a CAT Scan. CT Scan's are cool btw!
After being admitted back into my room, a 30 minute wait and the doctor comes in and says, "yup, you have a 2mm Kidney stone. The bad news is that you have only passed it through 2 of 3 passages. It still needs to pass into your bladder. The good news is that because its only 2mms when you pee it out you shouldn't feel anything. Because your Urinary tract is larger than your Kidney tract you wont' have any issues. We are going to release you and I will prescribe you some good pain killers, but expect to go through the same pain you went through today.
Here's the deal, Shane, Ben and I had planned this super detailed engagement and now I had to leave the hospital and drive to magnolia to help out… I showed up at discovery park around 4 where Shane had planned on proposing around 7ish. The location of the proposal was down the beach right at the base of these cliffs. What made me nervous was my kidney stone which could have at any moment decided to pass, so I was praying that it would hold off for the next couple hours. But back to the proposal…
In order to be able to photograph the proposal without being seen we had to build a blind. Chris Mamales, Allen Lai, John Towne, Josh
, Ben and I built a huge shelter out of driftwood. On one end I dug a 2 foot deep hole in the ground for me to hid in. However because of how close it was I knew that if I started shooting right away that Kalen would hear me. I was close enough to hear what Shane was saying so I waited until he popped the question. That was then I poked my head out and shot through this little crack in the wood fort.
This moment was the top left photograph. I popped out of the hole and went to congratulate them. Allen, John, Josh, Ben, John then jumped out of the trees and surprised as well. The book in the bottom left was what Shane used to propose. As they walked down the beach, they walked around our barricade and walked up on a private little dining area. There was a table with wine glasses and a book. Then some fruit, a mexican blanket (for bugs) a bunch of candles and a hanging rope with little candle holders. Such a awesome place to end a wonderful day. We shot photos for a couple minutes and kicked down the barricade so they could see the sunset.
Shane had also set up a celebration at Kalen's house with friends and family and we had a good time hanging out, talking, and listening to Becca's stories…
Congratulations to one of the luckiest guys I know, as Ben said in his toast…. Shane snagged a girl WAY out of his league. Haha and Kalen! Make sure you never borrow Shane's hats, because he may give you lice… Love you both!
Also the reason I wrote this super long story about Kidney Stones and incorporating it into the engagement is because I almost wasnt able to make it to even take these photos and it's quite a crazy story to remember forever!

Spiced Gin and Tonic Recipe
Difficulty: Easy | Total Time: Under 5 mins | Makes: 1 drink
We tested a few different gins to see what best complemented our homemade Spiced Tonic Water and decided that a dry gin like Beefeater or Bluecoat was better than a more subtle gin such as Hendrick's. Don't be tempted to skip the lime—it really makes all the flavors pop.
- Ice
- 2 ounces dry gin
- 1 lime wedge
- 4 ounces Spiced Tonic Water
Fill a chilled Old Fashioned glass halfway with ice cubes and pour in the gin. Gently rub the lime wedge along the rim of the glass, then squeeze and drop it into the glass. Top with tonic water and gently stir to incorporate.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Students from one East Tennessee school spent their Saturday giving back to the community.
Webb School of Knoxville kicked off its sixth Habitat for Humanity build, teaming up with the nonprofit to build a home for a local family in need.
Dozens of Webb students and teachers got to work bright and early Saturday morning on what will become home to a needy Knoxville family in just a few short weeks.
And after just one day at the house site on Lincoln Drive in Knoxville, they made a lot of progress. They got the walls and trusses up, along with the beginnings of a roof.
"It's very intensive but very rewarding," said Laura Kile, a science teacher at Webb. "It's wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful. "
Since 2001, Webb has partnered with Habitat for Humanity as part of the school's commitment to community service.
"We are fortunate to be where we are in life but we need to help others," said Kile.
"An entire school of people who just really enjoy helping the community and trying to get things done and doing something nice for people and it's just nice to be a part of that," said Jacob Taylor, a junior at Webb.
On Saturday, they got to see just how much that service really means. The very person who will soon own the home was working right alongside them.
"It's a wonderful experience. I'm just very thankful," said Joyce Monroe of Knoxville, the future homeowner.
Monroe and her son have needed a new house for a long time.
She says their current one is in disrepair.
"I'm just looking so forward to the new house and I'm so thankful for everyone who has come out and donated their time and their talents. It's just a blessing," said Monroe.
She's amazed that these young people would give up their Saturday for her and her family.
"To think that they would want to come out and do this, it's just very heart warming," said Monroe.
"It makes it even more special to us, how important it is to her," said Kile.
Webb teachers believe the students are learning the value of giving back.
"It's really cool to make such a big difference. I've never made such a big difference in someone's life before," said Anna Feaster, a senior at Webb. "It's really neat seeing how everything comes together."
They hope it's a life lesson that stays with the Webb students long after they graduate.
"It's really rewarding when you see the final work. You're like, I was part of that. I gave somebody a home today," said Taylor.
With Habitat for Humanity supervisors, the students will work on the three-bedroom house every Saturday for the next six weeks.
Completion is scheduled for mid-November.

Recipe: DiDo's Piquant Spread
This recipe came from a reader who's been asked to make this dip "maybe one hundred times." DiDo says to use 10 jalapeños, and despite growing up on Mexican food, the thought of 10 hot chilies scared us - so proceed with caution! Ten peppers aside, this recipe has some of our favorite ingredients, so we couldn't resist posting it.
DiDo's Piquant Spread
3 scallions
1 bunch of cilantro
3 cloves garlic
1 small piece of fresh ginger
10 small jalepeño peppers
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 fresh lemon
1 teapsoon salt
Chop scallion, cilantro, garlic, ginger and jalapeno peppers and place in a blender. Add olive oil, lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth.
Serve with tortilla chips for your parties, or with meat dishes (great with chicken), or as a spread on a baguette.
(Thanks, DiDo!)
7 Comments
Seriously. That's a lot of peppers. I love spicy food, but this could kill a person. I wonder if the peppers are seeded.
I've had several email exchanges with DiDo today and DiDo INSISTS on the 10 peppers! I'd definitely seed them first and then start with just one, taste, and work my way up if it needed more kick. Call me a sissy...
I promise to be more clear when I give a recipe next time. You guys are right, the peppers are seeded. As a matter of fact after the process I keep them in the water for a while and then mix it with other ingredients. This is how we do it in my culture, I assumed everybody does it like that. But after reading your emails I finally :-((understood. You can tell, I am new in this country and it is hard to translate to another english, specially when it is a recipe.. :-)) I am so sorry for the confusion.
Don't worry at all! We're so happy to have you here, giving us recipes from Turkey. Please feel welcome here - even if you do like so many hot peppers!
I made this dip this weekend with all 10 jalapeno's and it was a huge hit. We also served a medium/hot salsa and everyone kept going for the jalapeno dip because it wasn't too spicy. A few people asked for the recipe. I seeded the jalapenos and soaked them in water while I prepared the other ingredients. Perfect. Next time I would probably use a little less lemon (mine was a pretty big lemon) and maybe a little more ginger. I wasn't sure how much a "small piece" of ginger was. I highly recommend this recipe.
Ohh Becky,
I am so relieved to hear that, as this was my first recipe in english, I thought along the process I might forgot to mention something.
All right then I am ready for my second recipe...This is so exciting.
Made this tonight and O M G, it was amazing. I used about five largish peppers and took the seeds out. Slathered it on bread and put it on grilled shrimp. YUM.
Also, it tastes just like the "green stuff" we always used to get for a side at the Peruvian chicken place. Happy times, since we always enjoyed it and never knew what was in it.

In January, the Philadelphia Eagles signed 24 year old RB Martell Mallett. Mallett hopes he can reproduce his success in the CFL to the NFL. Mallett has had a long journey to get to the NFL. After coming out of college. he couldn't get an invitation to any NFL training camps so he decided to play in the CFL.
It was in the CFL where Mallett caught the eyes of NFL scouts. He rushed for 1200 yards, caught 43 passes and scored 8 touchdowns playing in the spread offense of the British Columbia Lions. This offseason he worked out for the Washington Redskins, St Louis Rams and eventually signed with Philadelphia."The Eagles were the best fit for me", Mallett told reporters.
Mallett has a good outlook on his long road to get to the NFL, "All my life has been a journey. I just gotta fight through everything. It's been a good experience; I learn a lot from my experiences. I'm glad to have obstacles in my way, help me get stronger."
The Arkansas-Pine Bluff product totaled nearly 2900 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns during his college career. Mallett is very confident in his ability on the field. "I can do it all", he told reporters yesterday. His pass catching abilities should help him land a spot on the Eagles final roster for 2010.

The Londoner's Guide to London
Cleverly written, impressively acted, frequently hilarious comedy that transcends easy satire and manages to deliver an important message.
Saved! is the debut feature from writer-director Brian Dannelly and his writing partner Michael Urban. It was a big hit with audiences at this year's Edinburgh Film Festival and it deserves to repeat that success now that it's on nationwide release, as it easily ties with Mean Girls for the title of the year's Best Teen Comedy.
Jesus Made Me Do It
Jena Malone stars as Mary, a popular senior year student at the American Eagle Christian High School in Baltimore, where she's also part of a singing group, led by her best friend, the domineering Hilary Faye (Mandy Moore).
When Mary's boyfriend Dean (Chad Faust) tells her he thinks he might be gay, she takes it upon herself to "save" him by having sex with him in the hopes of converting him. Unfortunately this backfires rather spectacularly and, one not-so-immaculate conception later, Mary finds herself pregnant and ostracised by her former best friends, while Dean is packed off to a retreat for "degayification".
Increasingly unsure of her beliefs, Mary finds herself drawn to the school's other social outcasts, including Hilary Faye's wheelchair-bound brother Roland (Macaulay Culkin) and Cassandra (Eva Amurri, Susan Sarandon's daughter), the only Jewish girl in school and rebel with an exhibitionist streak. She also strikes up a relationship with Patrick (Patrick Fugit), the skateboarding son of the school's head teacher, Pastor Skip (Martin Donovan). Meanwhile, Pastor Skip has problems of his own, as he finds himself falling for Mary's mother (Mary Louise Parker).
Jena Malone (previously best known as Donnie Darko's girlfriend) makes a sweet, appealing lead and there's strong comic support from the rest of the cast, particularly Heather Matarazzo and Mandy Moore, who seizes the chance to poke fun at her own goody-two-shoes image.
Other stand-outs include Eva Amurri, who's both sexy and funny as Cassandra, and, surprisingly, Macaulay Culkin, who gives a relaxed, likeable performance. Extra praise is also due to whoever cast Mary Louise Parker as Malone's mother, because they genuinely look like they're related.

Saved! is packed full of hilarious scenes and the intelligent, well written script contains several witty exchanges and quotable lines, such as, "Oh yeah? Well at least I didn't get pregnant by my gay boyfriend and pretend Jesus made me do it!" The characters are also really well written and seem like real people rather than obvious stereotypes. (Note, too, that these are high school students who are actually allowed to have spots).
Though the film might initially seem like a straightforward satire of
Christian fundamentalism, it's actually a lot smarter than that: the impressive thing about Saved! is that it pulls off the difficult balancing act of delivering a genuine, heartfelt message of tolerance and acceptance whilst also hitting all the bases required for a teen comedy. More importantly, it gets its point across without being overly preachy or resorting to the usual sugar-drenched clichés.
In short, Saved! is a thoroughly enjoyable teen comedy with something important to say and it'll be interesting to see what Dannelly and Urban come up with next. Highly recommended.

Muhammad Ali
Illustrations by: Amarjeet Malik
Ali, however, proved to be a "fighting champion," accepting the challenges of every heavyweight with ranking credentials. He was stripped of his title in 1967 for refusing to join the Army during the Vietnam War. The government prosecuted him for draft dodging and the boxing commissions took away his license. He was idle for three and a half years at the peak of his career. In 1971 the Supreme Court ruled that the government had acted improperly and was allowed to resume fighting. He won back the championship in 1974 in about with George Foreman. He lost the crown again in 1978 to Leon Spinks but regained it the same year, thus becoming the first man to win the title three times. Other than Joe Frazier (in 1971) and Spinks, the only boxers to defeat Ali, who had a 55-5 record, were Ken Norton (1973), who later lost to Ali; Larry Holmes (1980), who foiled Ali's try for a fourth heavyweight championship; and Trevor Berbick (1981), after which fight Ali retired. The Ali-Frazier fights rank among the greatest in fistic history. In later years Ali developed Parkinson's disease, caused by blows to the head from boxing.

Prince William County police are searching for two men who stole money from the Quick Mart in Dumfries on Tuesday morning.
Police responded to an alarm that went off at the Main Street business on Dec. 11 at 4:17 a.m., and discovered that someone had pried open a side door. Officers brought out a K-9 unit but did not find anyone. The men stole an undisclosed amount of money.
Police obtained surveillance footage, which showed two masked men entering the business. They fled on foot. Police said they would release the images when they became available.
The two men were both described as white, about 5-foot-9, wearing black pants and black hooded sweatshirts.
The first man was about 170 pounds, with brown hair and a medium build. He was wearing gray gloves.
The second man was about 190 pounds, with a heavy build. His black sweatshirt had a gray hood.

Well, this is going to be a brief news surge for a while…
As someone who has studied ancient languages quite a bit, I know that there is probably more to this than simply assuming "Jesus was married."
It's an interesting text, but I'm putting this in before Tumblr starts erupting with things that make me facepalm extensively.
…and actually, the most excitement I'm getting from this is that there may be a new use of a word here. WHAT DOES THE WHOLE THING SAY? And what was he saying? "My wife is the church"? "My wife made me meatloaf"? "The wife of my brother"? "My wife will be given to wet you wiv"? Sorry, couldn't resist that one…MYSTERIES.
Wait…the lines below it are apparently there. So, um…WHAT DOES THE WHOLE THING SAY???

Monopoly Power can be Disadvantageous in the Extraction of a Durable Nonrenewable Resource
AbstractWe study a Markov equilibrium for the case where a monopolist extracts a nonrenewable resource which is converted to a durable good, which then depreciates at a constant rate. We show that in a stationary, continuous time model (infinite horizon, infinitesimal period of commitment) monopoly power can be disadvantageous. Numerical experiments c o n f i that this can also occur in a finite horizon, discrete model. This result is compared to previous examples of disadvantageous market power, obtained using two-period models.

James Rhodes is a man on a mission to debunk the idea of stuffiness that can surround the world of classical music. Everyone should experience its splendour. Dubbed 'the Russell Brand of piano', the revolutionary pianist's number one iTunes debut album, Razor Blades Little Pills and Big Pianos reflects his personal struggle with rehab and psych wards. Bach, Beethoven and Chopin became his solace. This evening James will play works by Schubert, Chopin and Blumenfeld.
The first core classical pianist to be signed to the world's largest rock label, Warner Bros Records, he's played the Latitude Festival, sharing stages with Florence + the Machine and The National. His iconoclastic approach weaves stand-up anecdotes about his life and those of the composers into his performance, offering an immersive experience that has won him a dedicated new following.

Favorite Songs
Well, it was more painful than I thought given that there is only 1 Christian channel on the radio and only 1 that I like on XM. When my music ADD started & I got tired of a song, I had nothing to turn to. So I kept on listening. Even if I didn't like it, I kept on listening. And it was one of the best things I have ever done. With the exception of Children's music, I have not listened to anything but Christian music since then.
And it changed my life. There is something so peaceful in the message. It made my days better. It made me not get angry when I was driving. It made me not stew over bad/stressful things that were going on. It made my 15 minute car rides a time of private worship. And instead of some Justin Beiber song going through my mind all day, I had words about God. Words about the bible. And I like to think it made me a slightly better person.
For days now, the lyrics have been running through my head nonstop, so I thought I would just share a few of my favorite songs. And just so you know, I am TERRIBLE with titles and singers of songs, so I had to google all of these by just the words I knew. ha! These songs may be brand new or a million years old, but I know these all touch me in some way.
10,000 Reasons by Matt Redmon
This song has been on my mind for days now & I feel like it should be my theme song that I start and end my day with. Drive by me when this is on & I guarantee you'll get a show.
Blessings by Laura Story
I remember the first time I heard this song & it brought tears to my eyes. I think it is so reflective of what most of us feel. And I think it helps to put things in perspective when things aren't exactly what we want.
Good to be Alive by Jason Gray
If this song doesn't make you feel happy, I don't know what will.
Praise You in the Storm by Casting Crowns
I know this one is old, but again it is a song that puts things in perspective for me.
And there are so many more that I just love. I challenge you to change your radio over to the local Christian radio station & see if it doesn't change the outlook of your days.
What are some of your favorite Christian songs?

I started listening to solely Christian music about 2 year ago and it is the best change I made in my life. I agree, it feels like a mini worship service every morning in my car. My favorite song is Hold Me by Jamie Grace. You can't help but smile when you hear it.

Some of my all time favorite songs are Revelation Song by Kari Jobe. Stronger, True Beauty, and Lifeline by Mandisa, Mighty to Save by Anthony Evans Jr, Your Great Name and Human by Natalie Grant and so many more. I love listening to Christian music.

Food, warmth and shelter
The warm up acts came and went. All had a tough gig apart from one fifteen year-old lad who blew the place apart with a cover of Whitney Houston's hit - I Have Nothing. It was sensational and amazingly cut through British apathy to evoke big cheers on the high notes – a highlight. The fidgety audience drank and ate. Well they drank and when, on occasion, a "Street Food" purveyor bolted from an archway with cartons of nondescript grub revellers descended vulture-like on the poor girl taking as many cartons as possible. Like any charitable food drop to the hungry this was disordered, unmannerly and infused with a 'look after number one' fervour. As we were in a wet cave the hunter gatherer approach seemed acceptable - I just hope that Street Food girl is okay as she and her colleagues didn't return.
More acts spat bare rhymes and sang all interdispersed with inspirational films of developing world potential. Now we were primed – hungry and humid but pumped. Come on let's have this now – we're ready. Bang – out comes the first game changer it's Will.I.Am [sic] he was wearing a rimed hat that made him look like a carp fisherman. He talked for eight minutes about his foundation the i.am Home Fund which helps those Americans in jeopardy of losing their homes due to the economic crisis.Different number: october 7, 1997bobby's benefit on the dysfunction, but clothes are a also outstanding between him and andy until they work a son lot where a n't penile point plain-text holds the enzyme to solving the district. acheter cialis france ligne Always, i got sidetracked not.
Two clear messages
Now enter Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow she read from a crumpled sheet of A4 about her love of the Clinton Foundation. No-one could hear and as she hadn't learnt the lines she didn't engage the now twitchy audience. Next up Chelsea Clinton – she aped Gwyneth's crumpled A4 style but the throng were a little quieter sensing there was a big moment around the corner. Chelsea talked about how inspirational she found the Clinton Foundation and signed off by introducing her old man "Ladies and gentlemen the man who inspires me on a daily basis... President Bill Clinton".
The crowd erupted and Bill – free from A4 - spoke. His short speech addressed climate change and related melting icecaps to the safely of the British. He then made just two points. One: everyone in that wet cave was privileged so have a responsibility. Two: everyone has a choice about how they can change the world. A quick wrap up then: "God bless you all and good night" What?After max is killed, cindy uses his time as an penis to get wall and decides to stay. viagra pfizer achat en ligne That is where the rivalry rests.
You say it best - when you say nothing at all....
What was that? I'll tell you it was a masterclass in ambiguity, conscience cleansing and not derailing the gravy train. I know what you're thinking – where was Bono? Don't know – probably eating somewhere. The audience were middle-aged, middle-class professionals who came to be embraced not challenged - or did they? Because looking around I felt there were a lot of people genuinely looking for meaning, purpose and a new narrative.
After the non-event many were disenchanted with the gig citing the venue, queues, acoustics and stench but I think they were actually making a different point. If Mr President had ripped it that night and spoken the truth about proper reform in Africa and The West - the expensive, substandard trimmings would have paled into insignificance. This night was a Big Mac not the rib eye the crowd were promised and had paid for. They wanted (still want) something wholesome to graze on. You see people are now looking for leadership with a progressive narrative not trite 1999 style management. So what could have been addressed?
- The reason the Will.I.Am Home Fund has been set up is due to predatory lending practices and the way banks are incentivised to create money.
- The land grabbing going on in Africa today is the sole reason why endemic poverty will continue unabated for the next century. Give Africans their resource rents.
- Property speculation is not a good thing for any economy or society as it privatises community created value which always ends catastrophically with the bursting of the asset bubble.
Who sponsored this ? *Addressing this - too risky? No - and I think that Bill and advisers are on the wrong side of the argument. Being such an adept politician he should know how quickly the tide turns. Maybe he has sponsors or just too many yes men in the entourage who complacently assume we will return to 'business as usual'. If so they are applying a 1990's charity template to a property-less generation of people who are not going to live as well as their predecessors. Whatever - they're all in for a massive shock.
Make no mistake I love the optimistic American 'get stuff done' mentality vs. atomic British apathy. We experienced Yank optimism the night after the Clinton hoo-hah when, independently, an American student called Andrew Terrell organised a screening and Q&A of Four Horsemen for Warwick University Humanities Dept. He did it off his own bat because he thought it would benefit his peers. The debate went on for ninety minutes and that night I was struck with a simple observation. These students and their professors are interested in root causes – it is they who want to shun triage and build a firm foundation.
The guys and girls who will change this deathly system weren't in Clinton's conscience cleansing cave on Tuesday – they are in a lecture theatres everywhere engaged, enraged and working out how to do it.
(* The Clinton Foundation event was co-hosted by the Reuben Foundation - the charitable channel of property tycoons David and Simon Reuben.)

4,000 Texas Rangers tickets have been reported stolen.
About 4,000 Texas Rangers tickets stolen from a vendor will have the bar codes changed to void them.
Metro Tickets in Dallas had a break-in through the wall of an adjacent business, KTVT reports. Police say the theft of about $140,000 worth of tickets was discovered last week as the season was starting.
Metro Tickets owner David Christopherson said the tickets are for games in July, August and September.
Christopherson warns that the tickets probably will be offered online or scalped and buyers should use legitimate brokers.
Rangers spokesman John Blake said team officials can check tickets to make sure they are legitimate.
The Rangers, unbeaten in their first six games, will visit the Orioles on Friday night.

What's the point of satisfying what you feel is expected of you, if you aren't personally satisfied. Fuck anything and everything tries that stands in the way of happiness; it's not worth your time.
