PROVIDENCE – GTECH Corp. has signed new contract extensions with the Wisconsin Lottery and Kentucky Lottery, guaranteeing additional years of technical support and millions of dollars more in revenue, GTECH SpA, its parent company, announced this week.
A two-year contract extension means GTECH will provide lottery technology to the Wisconsin Lottery through June 25, 2015, continuing a relationship that has existed since the lottery formed in 1988. And a separate three-year contract extension ensures the same types of services for the Kentucky Lottery through July 10, 2021.
The Wisconsin extension is expected to bring in roughly $25 million to $27 million in additional revenue. The Kentucky extension will yield about $40 million.
The support GTECH provides includes operation of ticketing systems, hotlines, communications networks and lottery terminals.
Part of the contract extension with the Kentucky Lottery is GTECH's provision of equipment for Kentucky's new Keno games, which it expects to roll out to retail outlets this year and eventually spread to more than 700 locations.

Ordered this about a month ago, delivery was fast even by ordering on a Saturday. But the product itself is questionable. It's a small sized compact tripod, about 5 feet. It's good for a starting point, but initially even you will get fed up of it within a short span. It's not sturdy, lightweight being the problem, can be knocked over by a small wind also. The grip and head do not hold all cameras, you definitely can't use professional cameras. Maybe just the regular handycams or cheap digital cameras. You can give it a shot, but really it's not very worth it.
I Bought this Product About 5 Months Ago For My Nikon D5100. Using It Since Then. I Use 18-55 Lens Kit, So Over All Load Is Around 700 g. I Never Felt Any Lack of Sturdiness. (Yet To Test With A Telephoto Lens Like 70-300 VR or 55-300 VR.) Works fine for me. But Off Course, If You Have A Heavier DSLR Like D7100 or Any Full Frame DSLR, You Better Go For A Much Higher Range Tripod, That Weights About 5-6 KG.
Pan Head Is Very Good For Shooting Panorama, Panning. Overall It is A Value for Money If You Have A APS-C DSLR or A Mirrorless Camera or A Bridge. Go For It !
I had to buy this when I was in a pinch for using it with my Nikon D3200. It's a very basic low-cost tripod and you get what you should. The legs fold away decently well and haven't slipped much when i have used it at different terrains but the Head is horribly disappointing. While the horizontal movement is decent the vertical movement is jerky and does not lock at all. It works fairly well, subject to the above limitations, on a small ens like the 18-55mm or the the 35 or 50 mm prime lenses but is impossible for bigger lenses like the 55-300 even at 55mm. At 200 mm you might as well prepa... (Expand)
Great Product, Good Stability And Excellent Built Quality.
The Fast n Excellent Product Packing & Deliver Made The Overall Experience 5 Star. I would Prefer Benro T - 600EX Over The
Slik F 153 Tripod. Excellent Product For Beginners and mid Level Photographers. :-)
I brought this from Chandini Chowk from delhi for a 1400. I had finalized a not so branded digipro tripod worth 1500 when i decided to give another shops a shot and came across this. I got to learn a lot of things by looking for other models. Even though the pricing was same, i went for benro because of its build quality. Benro is an international brand and cant compare the quality to other local products. Also, i got a three year warantee on this. The vendor told me that unlike other tripods, the subparts of benro are very easily available and in case of any breakage, one can go for repa... (Expand)
Not very firm, but considering its low price its average in terms of quality and good enough to hold lighter DSLR such as Nikon 3XXX 5XXXX ones. I use it for my Nikon D7100 SLR model. (View complete review)
Benro T-600EX Tripod can be used by webcam or camera, I am using this with sony camera its excellent. (View complete review)

Two years ago this month, my husband and I were on a plane to China to adopt our beautiful baby girl, Xue Hua. Her Chinese names literally mean "snow/purity" and "beauty." As I passed the time on the seemingly never-ending flight across the world, I listened to a beautiful song that Steven Curtis Chapman wrote after he lost his own adopted daughter from China in a tragic accident.
We have this hope…
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
And we'll dance among the ruins
We will see with our own eyes
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
For we know, joy is coming in the morning.
It will take our breath away
To see the beauty that's been made
Out of the ashes, out of the ashes
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
Over the last six years, my husband and I have experienced a great deal of loss and heartache. Adoption had always been part of our plan. But the timing of it came much sooner than we anticipated. Xue Hua, now named Virginia Grace Xue, brought a healing and love to our hearts that surpassed our expectations and dreams. Had we known the "Pure Beauty" that would arise from the ruins, we would've cried tears of both grief AND joy.
Particularly in the adoption process, we experience barriers, closed doors, frustrations, and sometimes hopeless situations. Maybe you're waiting to be matched with your child. Maybe you're desperately hoping for a medical update to ensure your waiting child is doing okay. Or maybe you're home from China with your new family addition, and circumstances are more difficult than you ever imagined. Take each day moment by moment.
In the midst of challenging circumstances, devastation and desertion can seem overwhelming. Even reading the heart-wrenching statistic that are 147 million orphans can make it easy to sink into discouragement. It's hard to escape the feeling that there's nothing we can possibly do to make a significant difference in the world. But the great news is that we don't have to bear the burden of transforming the world on our own. Working out His intricate plans, God is bringing restoration in the ruins. He's strengthening communities through their grief. He is raising up families to adopt and advocates for orphan care. God invites us to be part of His redeeming work. And we will not see all the results of His glorious design on this earth. But as we one day praise God in His heavenly courts, I believe we'll be celebrating in revelation and awe.
This very day, a mother in China could be tearfully placing her baby on a public bench as a sacrifice of love. An orphan or foster child might be crying tears of loneliness and despair as he mourns the loss of his family. A couple may be holding onto each other in frustration and deep longing as they confront infertility or miscarriage. I pray that they will one day recognize the beauty that rises from ashes. Anything laid at the feet of God will not go unredeemed. Hold onto this hope as God continues to write your story.

Grisactin has griseofulvin as its active ingredient, a medical preparation belonging to the class of antifungal drugs. It works much like an antibiotic, but is aimed specifically at fungal infections treatment. It is most commonly used to help with fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails: jock itch, barber's itch, athlete's foot and the like.
Grisactin is available in the form of tablets, capsules, and suspensions, and needs to be stored at room temperature away from moisture and heat. When taking the drug, follow your doctor's instructions carefully as they may vary slightly from patient to patient. For example, your doctor may recommend ingesting Grisactin along with a meal that is high on fats so as its absorption into your body is increased; however, in other cases Grisactin may be taken independently of food. You will, however, have to wash each dose down with a full glass of water. Remember that your symptoms will likely improve before the infection is cured completely, meaning although you will feel quite well you will have to continue with the treatment. Do not stop taking Grisactin without consulting your physician first.
Grisactin's side effects include thrysh/yeast infections in your mouth, nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizzines, confusion, insomnia, numbness or a tingling sensation in your hands and feet, menstrual cycle irregularities. If you experience any of these, continue taking the medication as usual but still take care to inform your doctor.

Tiny Camera Logs Your Life ... As Long as the Lighting Is Good
If you were in New York City within the past two weeks, I might have caught you on camera. The Narrative Clip (previously called Memoto) is a wearable camera about the size of an iPod mini that clips onto clothing and takes a photo every 30 seconds. It has a 5-megapixel camera and works with apps on Android and iPhone, which group photos into albums automatically. I wore it to a cocktail party, on a run, out to sushi, on a walk through Central Park and at my desk for a full workday.

Attention Please
Artist: Boris
Album: Attention Please
Label: Sargent House
Release Date: May 24th, 2011
LP / CD / Digital
01. Attention Please
02. Hope
03. Party Boy
04. See You Next Week
05. Tokyo Wonder Land
06. You
07. Aileron
08. Les Paul Custom '86
09. Spoon
10. Hand in Hand
Iconoclast Japanese trio Boris are widely known for their ability to breach styles and stretch sonic boundaries of all that is heavy, psychedelic, droning and downright cathartic. But, Attention Please is more like a complete redefining of their potential in several ways. First and foremost, it is the first album on which all vocals are sung by lead guitarist, Wata. While she has previously sung on a couple of songs for singles and her solo outings, the entire 10-song album features her intimate, multifaceted vocal style.
Secondly, the songs on Attention Please have a sultry, intoxicating catchiness to them. It's melodic without sounding pop. It's psychedelic without sounding dated. It's heavy without relying on barre chord riffs.
The album opening title track begins with a pulsing kick drum as hushed, seething guitar and bass slither across the beat. Wata's cooing vocals drop in like a whispered warning of treachery to come in the threadbare musical landscape. "Hope" bursts forth like Sonic Youth on a detuned pop jangle, while "Les Paul Custom '86" sounds like a beautifully mutated hybrid of Serge Gainsbourg's playful "Ford Mustang" and the brooding intensity of The XX. Throughout, Attention Please sounds vaguely akin to a guitar-based Tangerine Dream covering Technical Ecstacy-era Black Sabbath.
Attention Please came to be following Boris touring the world in 2008 in support of their last album, Smile. The trio set about recording new material and a new album was completed, then abandoned. The band sought to challenge themselves further, and the end results are two new albums of dramatic growth and the most powerful extension toBoris' unparalleled creativity, Attention Please and the all new Heavy Rocks (not to be mistaken for their earlier 2002 release, Heavy Rocks).
Boris formed in the early 90s as a four piece just-for-fun endeavor with the sonic template of influences likeMelvins and Earth. By the time of its 1996 debut as a trio Absolutego (later released in the US via Southern Lord in 2000), Boris had already hit its stride in creating unique ground-rattling heavy, melodic music. The group, bassist/vocalist Takeshi, guitarist/vocalist Wata and drummer/vocalist Atsuo went on to release nearly 20 studio albums, as well as numerous collaborative albums — including projects with Merzbow, Sunn0))), Ian Astbury and Michio Kurihara of Ghost (who also currently tours with the band as second guitarist) — EPs and singles on various labels throughout the world.

Religion and Atheism
Here's my take on an "Atheism 2.0" - all quotes are for emphasis:
Imagine a continuum; on the left side is a 100% conviction that a god(s)/afterlife do not exist, and on the right is a 100% conviction that a god(s)/afterlife is real. In the middle of this continuum, 0%, is a conviction that a lack OR presence of a god(s)/afterlife are on equal terms.
Believe in a god(s)/afterlife? If so, where do you think he (it?) resides on the above mentioned continuum? Why? As a point of reference, where do you think the existance of the toothfairy falls on this continuum?
Now, while my own personal opinion might be that the existence of a god(s) and/or afterlife (especially the one depicted in any of the three desert dogmas) are of extremely low odds (say, 99% for does not exist) and are not worth adopting as real, the important thing is that I am not absolutist in my point of view, because it is unprovable, even if only technically unprovable (ya can't bring back evidence of nothingness, can you?).
In my opinion, the "thoughtform" of the future is one were people do not claim an absolutist stance on impossible to prove concepts such as these. Arguing whether a god does or does not exist is pointless. Fighting over which god is or isn't a true god only leads to war. It's possible that the most humble and honest position is one of uncertainty. Imagine if everyone would just concede that they really just didn't know...might be a lot more peaceful world.
Also, the terms "atheist" and "believer" should probably be removed from our vocabulary. Not only have these terms been evacuated of any substantive meaning, but they've become words regularly used to express contempt or ridicule, which makes people defensive, and basically blocks any hope for open communication regarding the greatest mysteries of the universe.

kk oneworldJan 27 2012: I think we should stop this debate about who is right about the existence or non existence of God because there will be no agreement I can assure you. The stalement can be compared to two salesmen both selling shoes, one Nike brand and the other Adidas. Both companies want to make the best shoes, but when asked in an open debate which company makes the better shoes, none would want to openly admit that the other is correct, even if it knows it is true. This response can either be a basic human survival instinct or as a result of a code of honour one has undertaken to protect. May be something else drives this behaviour.
In my view, science is the only tool available at this moment that will help us determine if there is indeed God. Asking atheist to have faith alone is not gonna work because atheist are people who would only accept a hypothesis as truth when backed up with sufficient cogent evidences and who would feel irresponsible if they just argue based on hearsay. Having said this, granted that "truth" it self is transcient and why it is so is mainly because new evidences might be found to disproved the accepted "truth". A good example is the debate over whether the world is flat or round centuries ago.

Raelynn Wapinnsky, Nancy Teeten, LCSW, CAP, and Emelyne Cherenfant, MSW, LCSW
When my father died, we found it difficult to donate his brain for research, and to request an autopsy. Some of that difficulty was because we hadn't made arrangements in advance. Earlier this week, I interviewed Nancy Teten, Assistant Director of the Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute at the University of South Florida. She coordinates the Byrd Institute Brain Bank here in Tampa Bay, and I talked with her about what you should do if you'd like to donate your brain for research. Emelyne Cherenfant, a USF social worker and Raelynn Wapinnsky, an intern, sat in on the discussion.
Q: Why would someone consider donating his brain to the Byrd Institute or other organizations? What are the advantages?
A: When someone has dementia, families often want to make sense of the disease, and of their experiences. They may want to know why someone had hallucinations, why he didn't know family members, or why he had a personality change. With brain donation, families receive a copy of the autopsy report at no charge. The report might be a bit technical, but I can help them with it. This can be a powerful way to close a really long journey.
Donating your brain is also a way to leave a legacy for future generations, and to give something back.
Q: Are there any disadvantages to donating a brain?
A: In our experience, most people don't see any disadvantages. We encourage people considering brain donation to talk it over with their families and with their spiritual advisors. We've found that most families and most faith communities accept brain donation.
Sometimes people have privacy concerns. We may share brain tissue with specific researchers within the Florida Alzheimer's Disease Research Center we're part of (including Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and the University of Miami and Mt. Sinai Hospital in Miami), but all personal information is removed from medical records. Privacy is protected.
Q: I've heard that people worry brain donation will delay funeral arrangements, or prevent a family from having an open casket funeral.
A: Brain donation doesn't affect funeral arrangements. When a person who has made arrangements to donate his brain dies, the family has instructions to call us as soon as possible. We are on pagers 24/7, 365 days a year. We have a "diener" who will go immediately to the funeral home. Because it's important for us to get the brain as close to the time of death as possible, this process doesn't delay a funeral.
Some people are squeamish about the details, but I can tell you that the incision is not visible, so there are no problems when families want an open casket service.
Q: What kinds of brains are needed? Just the brains of people with memory loss? Is there an age limit?
A: We need "healthy" brains as well as brains of people with neurodegenerative diseases and memory loss. We need brains from people of all ethnicities and education levels, male and female. Our minimum age is 50, but that may vary from brain bank to brain bank.
Q: What arrangements should you make if you decide you'd like to donate your brain?
A: First of all, discuss this with your family. We frequently get calls from someone saying "My mother just passed away, and she wanted to donate her brain." We'll attempt to make it happen, but we typically cannot make those arrangements last minute. When this happens, it's difficult, because people are not able to respect the family member's wishes.
If you and your family are in agreement, we will ask you to sign consent forms. People sometimes tell us they're already registered as organ donors, but there are separate forms you need to sign for brain donation. If you have memory loss, we may also ask someone you designate to sign a proxy consent form too. This person considers your wishes similar to the way a health care surrogate or someone with durable power of attorney would, and is typically a spouse or partner.
When you're talking about brain donation, it's a good time to discuss funeral arrangements with your family as well. We will ask you about this when you come in to sign consent forms. When a person enrolled in our program dies, sometimes a family member will notify us, but neglect to tell us which funeral home is handling the arrangements. We work with all the local funeral homes, but it's helpful if we know where to start!
Q: Any closing thoughts?
A: Sometimes the greatest contributions we can make are the silent ones.
Note: If you'd like more information about donating your brain to the Byrd Institute, contact Nancy Teten at 813-974-4355 or email@example.com. For a list of brain banks in other areas (mostly in the U.S.) see http://www.alzforum.org/dis/dia/bra/default.asp.

EWOUD de GROOT
EWOUD de GROOT
I first saw Ewoud de Groot's work at the 2005 Birds in Art exhibition at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wisconsin. It was an oil painting of a group of Oystercatchers and it captivated me, so much so that I bought it. Since then we have regularly exhibited together in USA and UK, and I have watched his work develop with interest. So much Wildlife Art relies on the viewer's affinity with the subject for its appeal, Ewoud's work is different, and his use of light, medium, interpretation and texture are unique, bringing a new perspective and freshness to the genre. These are true works of art that transcend the boundaries between wildlife and contemporary art.
Recently Ewoud sent me an image of a new painting telling me it was the 'first stage of my 'Laplanduil'. It was a painting of a Great Grey Owl flying straight towards the viewer, the head and body had a little detail, and the wings were roughed out and covered in splatters, all on a blank canvas. My immediate reaction was to email him back and say 'leave it like that'. After a little persuasion he did and that painting now hangs in our house along with a growing collection of Ewoud's work. Since then Ewoud has created more paintings in this pared down style, many of which are in this exhibition. They have a vitality and immediacy that brings the subject to life; these are paintings that one will never tire of viewing because they always have some new element to explore. They reward to viewer for time spent in their presence.

MILWAUKEE -- These days, there's no place like this Midwest outpost for NBA teams to end a long road trip on a high note.
Blake Griffin dominated the paint with 20 points, Jamal Crawford scored 25 and the Clippers ended their nearly two-week journey away from Los Angeles with a 114-86 win Monday night over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Forced to travel more than 11,000 miles through the air during the trip because the Staples Center was occupied by the Grammy Awards, Griffin looked right at home in Milwaukee.
After Griffin capped off a decisive 21-2 run in the second quarter with a three-point play, about the only drama left was to count up how many dunks Lob City's stars would throw down the rest of the night.
"When we were flying yesterday, flying here, I remember guys saying they can't wait to get home, stuff like that," Griffin said. "But we knew we still had a game to play, some business to take care of."
Los Angeles finished its trip 5-2, a franchise best for their annual Grammy sojourn. Darren Collison added 15 points and seven assists.
Ersan Ilyasova had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Bucks, an NBA-worst 8-36.
"Against a team like the Clippers, you have to be clicking on all cylinders," coach Larry Drew said. "They're playing extremely, extremely well. The low-post game has been really good."
The 6-foot-10 Griffin alone was a handful in the second quarter. He backed down Ilyasova in the post, and then followed with a steal and breakaway dunk for a 49-36 lead with 3:32 left after Ilyasova mishandled a pass on the other end.
"The defence is what gave us those 114 points. There in the second quarter, middle of the second quarter, we got stops," Griffin said.
At one point in the run, Griffin got into a brief shoving match with Khris Middleton (14 points) in a scramble for a loose ball. Each player was assessed a technical fouls.
The fray only seemed to rile up the Clippers' big man, who finished 8 of 13 from the field.
"I don't think (Blake) needs the anger to do it. He just does it," coach Doc Rivers said. "He has been our go-to guy down the stretch."
Later, Bucks guard Luke Ridnour lost the ball on a drive into the lane and Los Angeles went on the break. Griffin in transition hit a layup around two defenders and got fouled for the three-point play to cap the big run.
By that time it was 57-36 with 1:33 in the second quarter. At least the dedicated fans that stuck around were treated to free hot chocolate on the concourse, a team promotion to fill the arena while arctic cold gripped the region.
The Clippers then led by as much as 39, and the lead fell below 20 just once in the second half.
Milwaukee did play with more energy two nights after Drew closed the locker room and challenged players' lackadaisical style in a 25-point loss to the Hawks.
The Bucks just couldn't keep up with the faster and more athletic Clippers. Drew said his team simply missed shots during the decisive run -- including some good looks -- and couldn't answer the opponent's momentum plays.
"You just have to stay the course. When things happen, sometimes you have plays that are rather deflating," Caron Butler (11 points) said. "Take the ball out, continue to get out in transition, keep the momentum and try to play our style of basketball."
Ilyasova was 6 of 22 from the field, and the Bucks shot just 38 per cent on the evening.
Things looked promising early for Milwaukee, in desperate need of a spark to make something out of this wayward season. Middleton's jumper with 9:58 in the second got the Bucks within 34-32.
But as often has been the case this season, a spurt of turnovers and sloppy play spelled big trouble for Milwaukee.
Notes: Rivers said guard Chris Paul (separated shoulder) was running and starting to shoot again, but there was otherwise no change in his timetable to return around the All-Star break next month. Asked if he played a role in deciding when Paul was ready, Rivers answered "I never have anything to do with that. I'm not a real doctor, as you know. I thought you knew that." ... Bucks starting centre Larry Sanders and veteran guard O.J. Mayo each sat out a second game in a week due to flu-like symptoms.

While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
While the small updates to the 2014 model aren't enough for most existing users to upgrade, Apple's excellent 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro is still our go-to laptop of choice for shoppers at the high end.
The hefty pricing aside, the Samsung SSD 850 Pro is one of the best, if not the best, standard consumer-grade solid-state drives on the market.
A major update to our favorite Windows 8 hybrid, the IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro is still a better laptop than tablet, but the new version adds a future-proof better-than-HD display at a great price.
Microsoft made a direct comparison between the Surface Pro 3 and the MacBook Air 13", so we're throwing them into the Prizefight Ring to settle the score once and for all. Let's get it on!
The Dell Venue 8 Pro comes close to being a great pocket-size mini-PC, but a misplaced button and missing accessories feel like unnecessary errors.
Power users and gamers should look no further than the SanDisk Extreme Pro to get the best performance out of their home computer.
The slimmer body and higher-res screen of the original Retina MacBook Pro were a revolutionary leap. This revamp adds modest internal upgrades for modest improvements, but price cuts to both the 13-inch and 15-inch models sweeten the deal.
Beneath all the health hype, you'll find a competent blender that gets caught in the middle between the best single-serve smoothie makers and the best full-size multitaskers.

We are all fans of the great automotive marques of Germany. Our varied experiences with cars and our passion for the automobile makes writing for this site a natural fit. We all would hear about or see in person unique buying opportunities through our travels and connections. We would spend hours killing time cruising classified advertisements and online auction sites for our favorite marques, either for our own projects or just to lust after. Instead of keeping our finds to ourselves, with germancarsforsaleblog.com, we are now able to do what we'd be doing anyway while sharing our enthusiasm with the world in one place. This isn't our day job, but something we take time to do for fun and in the interest of other German car fanatics.
Paul Henriques – Managing Editor
Paul has seen BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagens come and go between himself and his father. The biggest range being seven Benzes, including everything from a 1962 190C to a 2007 C230 Sport. Paul's current ride is an Astro Black 2006 MINI Cooper S. A few years ago, his father and uncle appeared with their Merc fintails in a television commercial for Mercedes-Benz. Paul is a German speaker, which gives us an edge in translating advertisements from across the pond. While not as good as his German, he also knows Portuguese. Paul currently lives in the Mid-Atlantic region and keeps a look out for fun vehicles in the region.
Carter Johnson – Co-Managing Editor
Carter was introduced at a young age to his grandfather's 1927 and 1936 Bentleys, cars that still reside in the family. In the 1990s his father hooked him on tracking BMWs and Porsches – highlighted by a 1988 M5 and 1989 944 Turbo S among a long line of others. Carter's first car was a 1986 Audi 4000CS Quattro – four Volkswagens and eight Audis later, he now owns a 1986 Audi Coupe GT 20V and a 2002 Volkswagen Passat 1.8T Variant. In addition to being a high performance driving instructor for the Audi, BMW, and Porsche clubs, Carter received a Master's degree from the University of Cambridge with his dissertation on the Mercedes Benz and Auto Union Silver Arrows. Carter says he is still looking for either a 2003 Avus Pearl S8 or 2001 Phoenix Yellow M3. Hopefully he gets both! Carter is a proud father and part time college history teacher.
Evan Earle – Editor Emeritus
Evan rebuilt his first engine, with the help of his father, at the age of 12 and was hooked from there. He bought his first car before he had a license and, in the German department, has since owned Mercedes and BMW cars, customized to taste. His passion for the Mercedes marque stems from him following his father and grandfather in Benz ownership. Evan can include a 1970 250C and mighty full Euro grey market 1979 450SEL 6.9 as vehicles he's owned and restored. He also owns a very custom Land Rover Discovery that has an engine swap upgrade he pulled off amongst other goodies (he insists that there are some German made parts on it). Evan has traveled the globe on automotive quests to indulge the German car habit, including wheel time in an Alpina B7, powering a new Mercedes down the autobahn, and touring the RUF factory. At visits to F1 and vintage races, factories and shows, he always has his eye open for that next project or post. Evan can occasionally be seen at the birthplace of American road racing, Watkins Glen International race track, which is a short trip from his Ithaca, N.Y. home.
Jeff Lavery – Writer
Jeff cites early exposure to a W124 300E owned by his dad and his brother's affinity for changing cars more often than most people get new shoes as reasons behind his obsession with German machinery. Starting off with an MK3 Jetta, he became well-versed in offerings from Neuspeed and Techtonics Tuning, along with the implications of budget shock absorbers and neutral drops. A Mercedes 190E 2.3 soon followed, though sadly not of the Cosworth variety. He's now onto BMWs, owning an E30 that he pledges to never get rid of and that is used for cruises and autocrossing alike. An E36 M3 also found a permanent spot in his driveway (and bank account). When he's not driving either, he's distracted by his quest to find a preserved Isuzu Impulse Turbo, the Scirocco's better-looking twin. If he's not behind the wheel, Jeff flies a desk as a public relations consultant for technology companies in the New England region.
Nate Rooks – Senior Writer
Nate's grandfathers both owned 2002tiis and Porsches, so German cars are in his blood. He still gets a Road & Track subscription he started at the age of 9. Joining Dan in the "VW was my first car" category, Nate's first was a 1981 VW Rabbit pickup. Followed by an 80s Toyota 4×4, he was able to realize the dream and bought a 1988 BMW M5. Obviously the 80s are where his personal tastes lie, but he appreciates any and all German cars. He keeps his eyes and ears open for us in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Robert Simkins – Writer
Rob's first exposure to the world of cars came early on when his Dad purchased an Alfa Romeo Spider. Rob would wait each day for his Dad to return from work, top down and exhaust blaring. After the Alfa, there was a 911 in the garage. But like many others who grew up in the 80s, the true revelation came from an E30 M3 parked at the local BMW dealership. There was something about it that always drew his eye anytime they'd drive by the dealership. He currently drives a 2004 Miata that he's had for nearly a decade and lives in Washington, DC. Living in the city means driving tends to come quite a bit less often, but it also means that most driving he does is purely to go for a drive.
Dan Crouch – Owner and Contributing Writer
Dan's first car was a 68 VW Beetle and keeping with the VW theme he also has owned a Scirocco, GTI, and track day Rabbit. During his college days his mechanical skills and a string of $300 Volvos kept hot the pizzas he delivered as well as his desire for a fine German automobile. His need was fed when he purchased one of Germany's best a E36 M3. Dan also owns raresportbikesforsale.com and fittingly he currently rides a 1993 Ducati 750SS. From his perch in northwestern Oregon Dan also offers consulting via MotoringBlogs.com
Pablo Deferrari – Guest Contributor
Somewhere between drawing his first breath in this world and acquiring a keen taste for eating glue, something magical happened. As Pablo describes himself:
"No, it wasn't the discovery of girls…that bit came later. It was the sight of my first Porsche. Wait, let me rephrase that. It was the sound of my first Porsche as it approached me and then this blur of blue flanked with bulbous fenders and this tray-looking thing affixed to its rump followed it. That was the moment that changed me forever. I remember it as if it were yesterday; that delicious mechanical cacophony accented by the unmistakable whine of that huge fan sucking gobs of air was a 911 Turbo—in Minerva Blue. That was all it took."
Even though he's dyed-in-the-wool air-cooled 911 junkie, Pablo doesn't discriminate against other Porsches. He's spent nearly all of his life collecting and reading every book there is about the company, the cars, the people, and how every model's existence had unmistakable DNA from the model before it. This lust, this passion he has for Porsches can't be fulfilled by a 911, or a 944; not even a 928, or 968. He's in deep, baby. Pablo is out to collect one of every model made from 1950 to 1998. And he's just getting warmed up.
Pablo is the Founder of Flüssig Magazine, an authority on all things related to the Porsche 924, 928, 944 and 968.
Brian Nichols – Guest Contributor
A native Bay Stater, Brian now resides in Rhode Island. He's been in to cars as long as he can remember; his father being in the auto restoration business as a fabricator. Instead of watching football on Sundays, they would tinker with whatever car was on hand, mostly Beetles, and '64 Rivieras. Brian has been mainly in to VWs since he could drive. He's owned two '84 GTIs, one when he was 18 and the one he owns now which has been in his possession for seven years. Brian has also had an '84 Subaru 4WD wagon, '89 Saab SPG, '85 Jetta Coupe, '90 Audi 80, '01 GTI VR6. Currently, his daily driver is a Volkswagen Touareg TDI and he rides an '06 Harley Street Glide. As you may find from his posts, he has an unnatural love for the station wagon. While he mainly gravitates towards VW/Audi products, Brian has had a strong appreciation for anything automotive or mechanical. "I love German cars, hot rods, classics, Japanese cars…basically anything that is well done," says Brian. During the day he drives a desk at an insurance company but at night loves to tinker with his VW.

This is excellent--never would have thought it, but am glad I gave it a try. I don't think I'd stray from the cannellini beans, but we have tried several cheeses and every sort of pasta imaginable.
Cavatappi with Spinach, Beans, and Asiago Cheese
kateschwarz Posted: 07/06/09
kaycee Posted: 05/14/09
Simple ingredients required the best quality you can afford. I think the cheese, garlic and olive oil are the key to flavor here. I used freshly grated Asiago. I warmed extra virgin olive oil with the garlic (don't use jarred, chop fresh) and a few red pepper flakes. Then I marinated the beans in the oil. This dish was well received by my four children and was a snap to pull together. Also a great way to get some leafy greans into picky eaters. PS I used baby spinach so there were no stems to remove, just a quick chop.
cathomas1973 Posted: 01/29/09
I made this with whole grain rotini, and didn't have straight asiago, so used the Kraft Parmesan, Romano, and Asiago blend. I didn't think these were big changes, but according to a calorie calculator, a serving was more like 600 calories and 14 grams of fat (but 19 grams of fiber!). The result was okay, but not great, and probably not really worth the 600 calories. If I make it again, I'd also make sure I use baby spinach, chopped into small pieces so it wilts better.
veryslowcook Posted: 11/08/08
Simple & tasty, including the leftovers. Because some negative reviews had focused on lack of flavor (and flavor is very important to us!), I modified by heating the oil with some crushed red pepper & 4 minced cloves of garlic before tossing it with the other ingredients. Also, used small butter beans in place of cannellini. Definitely will make again & would serve to company.
azlall2 Posted: 11/19/08
My husband and I LOVE this dish. It takes five minutes to prepare the ingredients, and it has amazing flavor. However, this is what I do. I mix all the ingredients except the pasta hours earlier in the day, with the spinach as the top-most layer in the bowl. Then, when I come home late at night, I pour the hot pasta on top of everything and let it sit a couple of minutes to wilt the spinach. With the beans infusing for hours in the oil, garlic, cheese, s&p, the flavor is great.
eem338787 Posted: 04/15/09
this is simply OUTSTANDING!! Seriously, one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had outside of Italy. However, I know exactly why half of the reviews are 5 stars and the other half are 1/2 stars: ingredients. If you're using cheese out of a green bottle, pre-minced garlic, table salt, etc. it's going to be tasteless. If you use fresh, high-quality ingredients, it's going to be fabulous. Couple of notes about how I prepared it: I used arugula instead of spinach (I think it gives it a nice peppery bite), used parmigiano-reggiano instead of asiago (what I had on hand), and also let the garlic soak in the oil for a few minutes and then heated it up on low before adding everything else to help wilt the arugula.
JeffTracy86 Posted: 06/09/09
Great simple classic Italian food. It may be bland if you don't season it well enough; use good, fresh ingredients (freshly grated cheese, great oil, etc.) So good and so so so easy!
michelebrignoni Posted: 02/05/10
Yum! Healthy and tasty. It's true, using good ingredients works great. I used all organic ingrients and freshly shredded parmessan (instead of asiago). I used red beans because that's all I had, but it was still awesome. (I also salted the boiling water for the pasta.)
rcmorgan87 Posted: 09/21/09
Great Recipe. Use everything Fresh that you can. I heated the oil up and added the garlix for 3-5 minutes on low and added beans. Turned out great. Super easy, will make again.
foodasmedicine Posted: 03/27/10
We loved this dish, and will make it again. It is a great dinner entree that can easily be dressed up to a fancy meal when served with a delicious salad as a starter. I think it would be great as the recipe stated, I just chose to make it a LITTLE rich with a little butter and heavy cream. Serve it hot for best flavor.
elliesfolks Posted: 03/12/10
Fresh and vibrant! Quality ingredients are indeed the key. I also warm the garlic in the oil and then add spinach to wilt before adding remaining ingredients. A favorite at our home.
limatek Posted: 09/26/10
This really takes very little time to do. I was basically waiting for the pasta to be done. It is a very nice pasta dish that doesn't go down the tomato sauce path. Give it a try. Because I thought it was strange that the pasta was the only cooked ingredient I sauteed the beans, spinach and a can of artichoke hearts in some olive oil and garlic. The artichoke hearts were a great addition I think. Also, if you saute the spinach, add some; it really shrinks once it's in the pan. Solid, tasty meal if you don't have a lot of time.
Professional3 Posted: 06/02/11
Fantastic! will make this often. I agree with others that the quality of ingredients does make a difference so get the best asiago possible and grate it at home. Like others I used baby spinach,added some red pepper (what can I say I like spicy!) and doubled the garlic. Also I reserved about 1/4 cup of pasta liquid and added it to the pot as the spinich cooked down and liked the added moisture. The other thing I did was grate a bit of fresh parmesan reggiano on top before serving to make the flavor pop. Absolutely yummy!
BorderCollieMom Posted: 02/15/12
Excellent pasta dish. Followed the recipe exactly, using only fresh ingredients. I did mix everything in the pot I used to boil the pasta, put it on simmer for just a few minutes to heat everything through, stirring all the while. The spinach does wilt this way, and we love spinach, so next time I will add the full 12 oz bag. A pasta dish worthy of company. Great on its own or as a side to a small piece of chicken. This recipe will become a regular for me.
StephMerrifield Posted: 03/28/12
I thought for sure this would be a keeper with the five star ratings but I am writing this review to save you the trouble - make something else for dinner. We made it with premium ingredients and my husband is a great cook, but this was in no way, no how a five star recipe. My husband ate it (but he will eat anything), our kids would not and I made a frozen pizza after having 2 bites of this.
aderubira Posted: 07/24/12
This is so easy to prepare, delicious and one of my families favorites on a hot night.
sprater1 Posted: 04/28/13
Yummy! I added a can of artichoke quarters. I also sauted garlic, beans and artichokes in olive oil then added the chopped spinach to the pan. Added some pasta water (1/4 c) and a splash of white wine. I topped the servings with grated asiago cheese.

Nike Air Max 1 iD 'Space Jam' by REE
May 3rd, 2011 by John Kim | 21 comments
REE is known best for his great Sn'eads comics and his great artwork for the Sneaker Con May 2011 flyer, but check out his latest sneaker pick-up – the Nike Air Max 1 iD inspired by the Air Jordan XI Space Jam. Nike iD allows sneakerheads to put almost any concept onto a sneaker, and with the recent Space Jam craze involving the SB Dunks, REE decided to make use of the translucent outsole option and design a pair after the Number 1 Sneaker of 2009 (according to Sneaker News). The upper featurs crinkled patent, nubuck, and black mesh for a tonal black appeal, and a varsity royal inner lining and Max Air unit. We've seen some great Air Max 1 iD concepts in the past, so where does REE's Space Jams rank? Check out the extra images below and let us know what you think.

Lindsay Lohan will get to keep her huge paycheck from Oprah Winfrey ... but only after an intense showdown between O and LiLo ... TMZ has learned.
We've confirmed ... Lindsay was a disaster at the beginning of the project -- at times just being a no-show -- which doesn't work in Oprah's world. We're told Oprah went to Dina's house on Long Island for a showdown with Lindsay. She told Lindsay either clean up her act or the project is over and Lindsay would not get her $2 million paycheck.
Our sources say Lindsay had a bunch of excuses ... she was spending time trying to find an apartment in NYC, she had other projects she was trying to finish, there were "miscommunications" between her people and the folks at OWN, yada yada.
Oprah made the ultimatum clear and Lindsay got the message.
We're told Lindsay is now cooperating and things have been running okay for nearly a month, but Oprah is still watching Lindsay like a hawk.
Be careful Lindsay. It's gonna be hard to score 2 mil with "Canyons 2."
I don't believe it Lindsay is always professional, on time and clean. Oprah is just using Lindsay for her 15 minutes. Poor Lindsay can't trust anyone except her family.
Lying Lindsay is a loser who is not scared of Oprah, but is scared of not having money to support her drug habit
What do you mean you were told? Did you put this little article together from the snippets of the upcoming Access Hollywood interview with Oprah that are currently being leaked to the media?
Some exclusive TMZ.
Finally somebody who won't let Lindsay get away with crap.
Tmz we have more info then you. Now make a thread on paul shrader bashing lindsay about the canyons. And find out when he plans to sue for breach of contract.
would someone share the pic of fat oprah scaring the **** out of whorehan.
Dear Zeph, HAPPY BIRTHDAY for the 22nd xoxoxo
Wait I thought oprah was her mentor and is the reason she is staying sober? I thought they were tight like homies!!! Wow. So shocked to hear this disturbing news!!!
Lindsay was a disaster?? I am just stunned...
So where is the dribblings from (Jill) (Susan) (Dianne) since Dulna has been (EXPOSED) !!!! HMMMM!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Did you see the latest instagram photo she posted? She is getting ripped up in the comments. She looks wasted and horny. I guess oprahs paid babysitter was blowing lines in the mens room and was not able to catch lindsay getting ready to ride a jock and smoke some rock!!!
A special Good Morning and welcome back to our favorite Aussie Bi-ouch Reg :)
The good behavior will only last for a short time. You need to study sociopath's behavior to understand. What was formerly called psychopath, but now called sociopath explains it quite well. Blohan is a people pleaser. In person, face to face, she will say anything to please someone, especially someone of authority or someone perceived as important. Oprah knows this, that's why she went in person.
But the corrective behavior only lasts for a short time. Because eventually the sociopath will be told to get up at 5am and work, and they will say F THIS and blow it off.
Until the next face to face....
BWAHAHAHAHA, Hello all.

I'm still engineering and up to 300 however I haven't made any effort to go further.
One of my friends made full use of engineering by making Mithril Shot and selling it on and outside the AH. I think he got up to 2000G selling bullets and scopes.
Unfortunately, I haven't had as much success. I've never been in an situation where I can get a sniper scope schematic and I did make some money with bullets but when Blizzard came out with the impact shot, it really wasn't worth it.
I stay with engineering for one reason and one reason only: so I can use my Goblin Dragon Gun. It just looks cool!!
Gitr, I wouldn't drop for engineering just for the shot. By the time you get the mats to make the shot (mithril shot, say), you've spent more time than you want to.
A lot of people I know have dropped Engineering and gone to Enchanting to disenchant the greens that drop in BC.

Consider this.
Okay, imagine that the entire universe and every single particle inside of it disappeared.
What is there? You'd say nothing of course, but can nothing really exist without the comparison of something? If everything is nothing then isn't nothing everything? Well what is everything?
No multiverse stuff (not saying I disagree with it, just for the sake of this question) just assume that they all disappeared.

How can there be nothing, there must be something for there to be anything?
if the Universe will expand untill every single atom is pulled apart from another, when does the pull contact? why does it contract? why is it pulling and contracting? what drives it?

East Asia Is Not Mexico: The Difference between Balance of Payments Crises and Debt Deflations
AbstractWhat was different about the collapse of the Asian emerging markets in 1997? The free fall of the Mexican peso and the collapse of the Mexican Bolsa produced a "Tequila effect" that spread through most of South America, but did not create a sell off in the global financial markets similar to that which occurred in 27 October 1997. Normally, sharp declines in prices in emerging equity markets produce a "flight to quality", in which international investors shift their funds back into developed country markets and local investors shift their funds back into developed country markets and local investors seek to protect their wealth by diversifying into developed country assets. Yet, the collapse in the Asian emerging markets, that started in Thailand, spread to the other second-tier Newly Industrialising Economies (NIEs), and eventually extended to the first-tier NIEs produced the largest absolute declines ever experiences in the major developed country equity markets. If equity markets can suffer from what Alan Greenspan has called "irrational exuberance", the Asian crisis suggests that they may also suffer from "irrational pessimism". Yet, there is much to indicate that in this case the financial markets in Japan, Europe and the US were quite rational in assessing the global implications of the financial crisis in Asia. The developing countries in Asia have come to play a crucial role in global growth. In the 1990s, they accounted for roughly half of global expansion. The immediate implication of the Asian crises is that the collapse of growth in the region would produce a global deflation. This would make it more difficult for developed economies, particularly Europe and Japan, to expand at rates necessary to generate sufficient investment to produce reductions in unemployment. Recovery in the developed world outside the US and the UK is thus at risk as a result of declining Asian growth. Indeed, if the US cannot continue its current expansion, there is a clear risk of a global depression similar to that of the 1930s.

I very much revere Meshuggah. I'm not alone in that opinion. If you are a fan of metal you will know that, love them or not, they are the best at what they do, period.

A Day In The Life With Drive-By Truckers & Dawes
Joining a band for load-in at a venue on a Saturday morning is not the typical duty associated with this gig in Artist Relations at Shure. Occasionally, you're asked to go above-and-beyond and help out a band or bands coming to town and in need of a few microphones. In this instance, I arrived equipped with two road cases filled with the latest and greatest microphones from the Shure catalog… A little bit of everything if you will.

text: There is a woman I work with, and I'm totally infatuated with her. I asked her out, and she said sure. Unfortunately, we never made definite plans, and she decided not to go out with me. I called her once about a month after that, to try and be friends, but she ignored my call. What do I do about her?The answers would be a resounding chorus of "No contact!". That's what he is doing now. He was in love with you, you turned him down, and now he's trying to protect himself emotionally. My question is, if you don't want to go out with him, why are you being cruel to him? Unless you need something work-related (which is not mentioned in your question), just let it go.

What if everyone believed that they could change the world?

Usually, the problem is not the lack of belief. I think everybody believes that using your car less would contribute to less pollution. I also think it's obvious to most people that 1000 people driving less is better than 10 people. Yet, the problem is the lack of proper action.
Rohan RaviJul 16 2011: Hmm yes this is a very interesting debate. I've often wondered how me saving water or electricity is effecting the world. And to be honest i don't know if that really makes a difference. But what i do think makes a difference is like you said when we act on our highest motivations, there is a field that begins to form around us, that creates others to act in the same way we are acting. So in that sense we are actually changing the world.
