Race win over the weekend foretells good things for Tour of California
On Februray 10, Jackson Stewart of the BMC Racing Team won the Cherry Pie Criterium in Napa, California, against an elite group of racers. Though he had had doubts about his form after the rigours of the Tour of Qatar, Jackson surprised even himself with his strong showing. His coach, Charlie Livermore said, "I told him to get in the race and give it a shot. If he felt bad, I told him to drop out; if he felt good, I told him to win. Well, he must have felt pretty good." We spoke with Jackson to find out the details.
Charlie Livermore said you were having misgivings about racing. Describe the problems you were having leading up to the race.
Jackson Stewart: After getting home from Qatar, I was having problems with my training. The racing there was very intense and I had crashed in Qatar. I think the long flight home was the nail in the coffin as far as how resilient my body felt. And the week leading up to the Cherry Pie Crit I had been getting massages and seeing the chiropractor, but I was still frustrated with how my body was reacting.
How did the race unfold?
JS: I didn't feel 100%, but I felt alright. One of the guys from Charlie's Endurance Training facility was at the race and helped me adjust my seating position. I think that helped me mentally know that nothing really was wrong, and my body was just a bit tired. Alex Moss and Mike Sayers were both racing with me and we were basically just covering breaks. I think Alex went first and then Mike, but both their breaks were pulled back. It just happened that it was my turn to follow a break and that was the one that stayed away. Luckily I was racing with Alex and Mike since they are both big experienced guys and they were able to help control the race behind our break.
How does this make you feel for California?
JS: Even though it was only a local race, there were a lot of guys racing it that will also be at California too, so it is a good confidence booster. Any win is always a bonus.
What are the team's goals for California?
JS: Well, we haven't discussed tactics in any great detail yet, but I'm sure we will race opportunistically. Moos is definitely a guy we can shoot for getting high on the GC, and Darren Lill has a lot of potential in that vein too. (Jeff) Louder and (Scott) Nydam are always threats, even if Scott has recently felt as beat up as I do. And the rest of the guys like Taylor Tolleson, Tony Cruz, Danilo Wyss and myself will hopefully be strong in the flatter finishes. The circuit finishes don't really give the US racers an advantage, but they do generally ensure that breakaways will have a hard time staying away until the finish. But we'll always be in the action of the race. Success in the classifications will fall into place when we do that well.

How to Select
LED Lighting is the most innovative form of lighting on the market today, saving as much as 80% on electrical costs versus conventional lighting.
When choosing your lighting, consider:
- Voltage:
- Low Voltage – low voltage(usually 12v) lighting is typically used for under cabinet lighting, outdoor lighting, or landscape lighting. Ambient lighting sometimes uses low voltage fixtures as well. However, a low voltage fixture will not operate properly in line voltage connections. If connected to a line voltage (120v), it may cause electrical fire or damage to the fixture and surrounding area.
- Line Voltage – Line voltage, is the common term for standard 120v power. Standard household electricity is line voltage. You should not connect low voltage fixtures to line voltage connections. If you plan to install lighting inside your home besides accent lighting, you will most likely use line voltage lighting.
Commercial Grade:
If the installation is a commercial building, consider using Commercial Grade fixtures which can handle heavier duty electrical currents and higher voltage. These fixtures are safer for regular use in commercial situations.
- Insulated Ceiling:
If you ceiling has additional insulation, please consider using a housing that is suitable for this. At Westside Wholesale, we offer models that are suitable. If you do not have insulation in your ceiling, we also have models that fit your application.
- Interconnectable:
Certain LED lighting models are designed to be interconnected to a series of lighting for dimming or to connect to a lighting control module.
- Color:
When refining by color, you will notice that it refers to several color variables whether it be the finish on the metal trim, or the color of the LED elements.
For additional assistance in selecting the LED lighting that is suitable for your application, contact our Customer Service Department through Live Chat or by calling 1-877-998-9378.

I'm getting all warm and fuzzy seeing this unfold. And I was certainly taken back by the overall length on the picture prior to this recent one. It seemed never ending as I was scrolling down. My first reaction was "D* mn! This knife it's going to be a beast, you freaking go Heath!"
Very much looking fwd
I'm hoping for it to be a beast towards the heel but nimble towards the tip. Maybe an Olympic bull on ice skates!
Do not tell me I can't, let me succeed or fail. Even a failure is a small success.
Oh, man! This is getting really, Really exciting! And I dig the "family" effort!
This has got to be one of the coolest WIP's ever!
Thanks for sharing Heath.

don't forget parsnips!
My favorite thing to roast is broccoli, which I do almost weekly. I throw it on a pan with olive oil and salt, then roast at 400 for about 12 minutes. I vary how I season it, but my favorite way is to next sprinkle it with parmesan cheese and roast another 5 or so minutes. The parmesan melts and browns on top of and all around the broccoli. Then I scrape all the yummy cheese from the bottom of the pan as I pour it into a serving dish. The result is both salty and nutty. Yum!
They forgot parsnips? =O
Ah well, there's still plenty of very yummy suggestions here to keep my tummy happy!
I love roasting parsnips so I absolutely agree with the comments on this post - especially since it is a seasonal vegetable, I roast it at least once a week!
For the roasted sweet potato sticks w/ rosemary, aren't those yams? The peels look red.

Under the box contents you list the "Nexus 7" as being included. Fairly sure that's not the case :p
Corrected... and yes, that's clearly not the case. :-/
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
Just finished the review, great stuff! I really loved my RT, but wanted a little better performance, access to some code editors and the ability to play some games. This definitely sounds like the ticket :)
At $399 for the 64GB variant with keyboard dock, you really can't go wrong. A 64GB iPad with no dock is $699.
I just read a few comments about long charging times and occasional black screens when charging which required a restart. I don't recall anything in the review mentioning how long charging takes or mentioning any other issues other then that one game. Do you have any information on either of those issues?
Seriously considering this as a Christmas present. A couple questions if I may:
How secure is the connection to the dock?
How much of that 64 GB is usable?
I just got mine from the UPS man. The dock connector seems really secure.
36gbs free of 49. You should be able to increase that by removing the recovery partition but I'm just going to utilize the SD slot and usb 3 connector (depending on gaming abilities I'm thinking an SSD that can be packed with it).
Overall way more premium then I was thinking. The back of the display is a little meh, I would have preferred something matte and the keyboard is cramped but overall pretty cool. Way better then my old Surface RT :)
np :) After a day using it I have a little more to say about it. Definitely a great upgrade from my RT and a fantastic tablet, but a few things to be aware of.
1.) As far as i can tell this doesn't have any sort of rotation detection, so if you turn it on its side it stays in landscape mode. Maybe I just haven't found the option.
2.) The battery takes forever to charge. 2.5 hours in and it's halfway full. Thank god it lasts so long.
3.) The keyboard and trackpad are fine, but nothing to write home about. I keep hitting the up arrow instead of the shift, but my typing speed is great. The trackpad is a little hit and miss, but nothing horrid. Just not Apple quality at all.
Overall I'm really happy with my purchase, but this is a $379 tablet (on sale at amazon right now) so some things were skimped on.
Hey, thanks for the feedback Daniel! Good stuff. I think you have the rotation lock set or something because it definitely should have screen reorientation. I think it's a great deal for the price actually too.
A few follow-ups.
1). The charge time really is terrible - I didn't realize how bad it was when I wrote the review because I plugged it in to charge over night, then worked with it all day, without running short of battery. Having now taken it on a trip, I noticed the problem. This is a major flaw in the system. If you're running the screen at high brightness + using WiFi, it will charge 1-2% an hour. I may amend the review slightly to include this.
2). Rotation detection works perfectly on our sample, and exactly like you'd expect for a W8 device. Yours may be defective or it may be locked on.
3). I never saw a black screen while charging that required a restart. I did once have an odd crash that wouldn't restart until I plugged in the charge cable, but the problem didn't repeat.
Overall, having now taken the TB 100 on a trip, I'm still very happy with its overall performance and options. For $400, it's a great little system.
You're totally right. Not sure what I did if anything but it worked fine after I post that. I'm really loving this tablet.
Thanks for the reply Joel. The charging is indeed slow, but not as bad as you're experiencing. Using their charger plugged into the wall I got up about 20% while playing FTL (Faster then light) in about an hour and a half. If it's plugged into a computer or something the usb port or something could be limiting its charging speed. You might check out something like this http://www.thepowerpot.com/solar-power-optimized-practical-meter to see what sort of juice is actually getting to the laptop.
The charging speed hasn't been a huge issue for me so far because its battery last so damn long. I could see if you're on a trip or forgot to charge it that this could be an issue.
I've had my T100 for about three weeks now. One thing that really speeded up charging was to do so with the tablet disconnected from the dock and turned off.
I know, kludgy, but it does help. Also, after several updates, the charging in all situations seems to go a bit faster.
All my remarks refer to wall power charging. I haven't even tried charging it off anything else.
Fair enough :)
Hey! If I found the keyboard was too cramped, is it possible to attach a different tablet keyboard? I'm not sure how tablets work, I didn't know how the keyboards attached if it was by USB or not. Thanks!

Hi Melissa, unfortunately the keyboard and dock connector are a custom design. However, you can probably find a Bluetooth keyboard to work with it and connect to it wirelessly.
I don't understand the negative reviews on this fully loaded tablet. Yes, fully loaded! I love the fact it has Windows 8.1, and a full version of Microsoft Office 2013. Yes, Microsoft Office is included. I love the fact that it comes with a click-type keyboard, which also serves as a cover. There is nothing cheap about this tablet. The look and feel of this tablet is expensive. It may not have full HD resolution, but I guarantee you won't notice the difference. The display is super vivid and sharp. The keyboard is a little smaller, but that is to be expected with a tablet. I think the other reviewers are comparing this to a full size laptop.
This is not a laptop … but has all the features of a laptop in a very compact, portable size. It weighs about 2 pounds with the keyboard/cover. I especially enjoy the large 10.1" display, and ease of use. I use a stylus pen that I purchased for $10 to swipe and tap. It keeps the screen free of finger prints. I never got used to using a touch pad, not even with a laptop, so I connected a mouse using Bluetooth. Now I have all the functionality of a desktop in a tablet. My primary reason for purchasing this tablet is to take my work with me. I am now able to access all my Excel files through SkyDrive, so a large hard drive is no longer an issue.
The 32 GB hard drive on this tablet is more than sufficient. Now let's talk price. With all its features, I only paid $340. Dell's Venue comparable tablet with a keyboard is over $700. Microsoft Surface 2 Pro is over $1000 with a keyboard. The Microsoft Surface 2 RT is not a full functional Windows product, so there's no comparison. The Surface 2 has many limitations, including Office. You cannot run macros with Windows RT. The Asus Transformer Book has the full version of Windows 8.1, so you can run applications like Java. It is the perfect tablet for access to the Internet, Netflix, email, music and games.
You get full functionality of Office, and you can even set this device up with Google Chromecast. Just install the Chrome browser. Buy the TV adapter for $35 and you can wirelessly connect this tablet to your HDTV. I know I must sound like a salesperson for Asus or Google, but I can assure you I am not. I am just so impressed with this product, that I cannot say enough about it. The bottom line: The features are right. The feel of this product is right. And most importantly, the price is right.
I hope it helps.
I've been using it for a month now and I'm very satisfied with it. Affordable with great specs for my usage. It comes with Microsoft Office which is a great deal.
A few things to note tho...
1. Battery takes a long time to charge. av to leave it overnight to charge fully.
2. When you insert a MicroSD card, it looks like its gonna pop out anytime. It is protruding from the slot even tho it is inserted properly.
3. Trackpad's physical clicker is a bit annoying coz of its extremely loud clicks
4. Display's lux level is a bit low when outdoors.
The 2nd day I used it, I encountered OS issue. The device was unable to boot to desktop. I had to reset to its factory default.
I've been using it since for my work. There's no problem with it running AutoCAD 2013 LT, Photoshop CS5, TrueView 2014, Sketchbook Express.
Heck, I even tried playing Diablo III on its lowest setting and it worked.
I would highly recommend tis baby to others.
Great feedback, Habanero, thanks!
please give some advice, i want to buy an Asus Transformer T100 and i want to use AutoCAD with it.. does the Transformers specifications compatible with the AutoCAD ??
Hi. I have had this tablet since it was released and it is a lifesaver for me. Yes, it takes a while to charge - if you want to charge it up from zero, you have to give it about 6 or 7 hours, so I basically leave it on charge overnight. The maximum unplugged time I have had out of it is about 9 hours without doing anything too crazy on it. However, I think that is more than enough for me.

How To Make the Best Rugelach Cookies
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
There is no resisting rugelach, no matter how nubbly or imperfectly rolled. They're buttery, flaky, and just the right amount of sweet. You can fill them with anything from ground nuts and honey to peanut butter and chocolate — the only real constant is using cream cheese to make a super-tender dough. Here's how you can make them at home.
I am a student of the Dorie Greenspan School of Rugelach. This means that I make my rugelach dough in a food processor rather than with a mixer or by hand. This makes an incredibly tender dough where the cream cheese and butter are cut into the flour rather than absorbed by it. If you don't have a food processor, though, no worries: take a look at the instructions for making rugelach by hand at the end of the recipe.
I like adding an egg yolk to my dough. It's not strictly necessary, but I like it for the extra richness and a guaranteed golden color in the oven. These are, after all, celebration cookies, so now is not the time to shy away from a decadent cookie.
Also as part of the Dorie Greenspan School, I prefer rugelach rolled individually into crescents rather than rolling the dough around the filling and then slicing them into pinwheels. This technique is a bit more labor-intensive, but I find the crescent shape to have a more satisfying bite and pleasing appearance.
I love making several different fillings for the ruglach and using a different one with each batch. I always make a classic honey-walnut filling, and chocolate is another favorite. If I have a really good summer jam in the cupboard, I'll fill a batch with a few spoonfuls straight from the jar. I've seen rugelach made with an amazing array of fillings, so you can really let your imagination go wild.
Like most classic recipes, there are lots of opinions about what constitutes a "true" rugelach. Do you have a favorite way of making them or a must-have filling?
How to Make Rugelach
What You Need
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 package (8 ounces) cold cream cheese, cubed
2 sticks (1 cup) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg yolk
1 batch filling (see ideas below)
Powdered sugar
Food processor
Rolling pin
Pizza cutter or sharp knife
Baking sheets
Parchment or non-stick baking sheet liners
1. Combine the flour and salt. Combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse several times to mix.
2. Mix in the cream cheese and butter. Scatter the cubes of cream cheese and butter over the flour. Pulse 10 to 12 times until coarse crumbs form.
3. Mix in the yolk and vanilla. Whisk together the vanilla and yolk in a bowl, and the pour them over the butter-flour mixture. Run the processor continuously until the dough starts to clump together and form large curdlike pieces.
4. Refrigerate the dough. Turn the dough out onto the counter and gather the pieces into a ball. Divide into four portions and flatten each into 1-inch thick disks. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate the dough at least 2 hours or up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months (thaw in the refrigerator before using).
→ When ready to bake the rugelach, preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare your fillings.
5. Roll out the dough. Sprinkle your work surface generously with powdered sugar. Take one disk of dough from the refrigerator and let it warm on the counter for 1-2 minutes. Sprinkle the surface of the dough and the rolling pin with more powdered sugar. Roll the dough from the center out into a circle about 1/8-inch thick. Don't worry if a few cracks form near the edges. Use more powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking.
6. Spread with filling. Spread the filling in a thin layer evenly over the surface of the dough. Make sure it goes right up to the edge of the dough.
7. Slice and roll the cookies. Slice the dough into 16 wedges, like a pizza, using a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Roll up each wedge, beginning at the wide outer edge and moving inward. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure the tip is tucked underneath.
8. Chill the cookies. Refrigerate cookies on the baking sheet, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare remaining batches.
9. Bake the cookies. Bake the first tray of cookies until golden-brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool on the sheet, 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack. Bake the remaining cookies.
Cookies will keep in an air-tight container at room temperature for about a week.
Ideas for Rugelach Fillings:
• Nut Filling: In a food processor, grind 1 cup walnuts and 1 cup pecans until they break into tiny crumbs, 30 to 40 pulses. (Be careful of over-processing and making nut-butter.) Combine the ground nuts in a bowl with 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) melted butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
• Fruit and Jam Filling: Warm 1/4 cup marmalade, apricot jam or raspberry jam in the microwave until it liquefies. Stir in the 1 tablespoon sugar. Set aside to cool until no longer steaming, still liquidy. Pulse 2 cups (roughly 10 ounces) dried fruit, such as apricots, cranberries, cherries or currants, in a food processor until it breaks down into tiny pieces. To assemble, spread the jam onto the rugelach dough; sprinkle the dried fruit on top.
• Peanut Butter and Chocolate Filling: Warm 1/2 cup peanut butter in a microwave until it liquefies. Spread over the rugelach dough; sprinkle with 1 cup miniature chocolate chips.
Additional Notes:
• Freezing Rugelach: The disks of dough can be frozen for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before using. The shaped cookies can also be frozen for up to three months. Arrange cookies on a baking sheet, making sure they do not touch, and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer container for long term storage. Cookies can be baked straight from the freezer and may need an extra few minutes to bake.
• Making Rugelach by Hand: If you don't have a food processor, just cut the cream cheese and the butter into the flour mixture using your finger tips or a pastry cutter, just as you would for pie crust. Sprinkle the yolk mixture over the top and fluff the dough with your fingers until it feels heavy and can hold together when pressed into a ball. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as instructed.
• Halving This Recipe: Nix the egg yolk and cut the rest of the ingredients in half.

These look spectacular!
I love rugelach! And I agree, the little crescents make them even more irresistible. I think I may have to try a dark chocolate raspberry filling this year.
They look delicious, but this nice Jewish girl has never seen rugelach called "cookies"--that's like saying challah bread or bagel roll :) Happy holidays!
This looks too rich. Butter and cream cheese and an egg yolk? I know it's a dessert but still. I like the idea of freezing the dough. But I'm going to look for a healthier version. My grandma made these with whole wheat pastry flour, much less fat, and they were still wonderful.
These look like.... other things.
These look great! Rugelach are one of my favorite things to make...and eat. And yes, they must be individually rolled into mini-crescents!
I'd never seen "pinwheel rugelach" until I moved to the Midwest and I can't even express how wrong they seem to me. I appear to have a really intense disdain (hatred?) for those pinwheel bastards. They're never as flaky or crispy or as fun to eat as the individually rolled ones.
Unfair! I should not even be thinking of such goodies, but I am a complete sucker for rugelach.
Decidedly unorthodox, but I'd like to make some with mincemeat filling.
Courtney, I have the perfect recipe for you! Chocolate + raspberry jam = perfect sweet and tart! http://www.exploreasheville.com/seasonal-fun/holidays/holiday-recipes/raspberry-rugelach/
I do what Joy of Cooking suggests : apricot jam, walnuts, cinnamon-sugar and raisins. Yum and yum and yum.
I always made them without eggs and with butter and COTTAGE CHEESE instead of cream cheese. They're still really good but LESS FATTENING! I would sub cottage cheese for cream cheese (equal weight). I roll out a circle, spread on some apricot jam or fruit spread, sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar and chopped nuts, cut it like a pizza and roll 'em up and bake. They're delicious and less fattening.
i made these today and did half with nut filling and half with jam filling. the honey in the nut filling all melted and came out of the cookies, pooling around them and burning black as coal by the time the cookies were done. i saw it happening but didn't know what to do. it ruined every cookie in those batches because the bottoms are totally disgusting and burnt. i'd say avoid that option unless you want perfect rugelach with black bottoms and carcinogenic lacy crusty stuff all on the edges.
Mee too!!! The recipe is really tasty, but the same thing happened to me with the honey, nut filling. I ended up taking them out and transferring them to another baking sheet to finish up in the oven, and shaving the burnt bits off the rest. The rugelach's were a hit for the cookie trade with my girlfriends, but I still have half the batch in the fridge and was wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve the recipe before trying again??
The dough came out wonderful, but the preserves leaked out as the others described :( If there is a way to avoid this, I would love to know.
Many thanks!
Had the same problem! A very time consuming baked good for it to burn into crusty sugar nut bits in the oven. What is the fix ...we followed the whole recipe, down to the last detail!!! What a disappointment.
Mine burned too... any rugelach pros wanna weigh in?
I also had burnt bits in the oven with the fillings. This occurred with the peanut butter and chocolate bits as well as the fruit and jam filling. Since my first two batches were already made, I shaved off the burnt bits and continued baking on a new cookie sheet.
With another three batches to go, I googled rugelach for insight for other bakers who may had the same issue. The Shiksa provides a very similar recipe, and specifies the key to the filling is a thin layer and to "fill" the filling with goods. [http://theshiksa.com/2011/02/02/rugelach/]
My nut filling was much more successful since I learned to very thinly spread the filling across the dough. Rather than using the food processor, I diced the nuts with a knife until it was very fine (akin to the size of sesame seeds).
The emphasis for the filling is a thin layer with little-to-nothing sticking out. So, in theory, the fruit and jam filling should work as long as the dried fruit is cut very finely. I would also chop the chocolate chips further down. I used regular chocolate chips rather than mini chocolate chips, so that may have been my fault.
For those of you with already prepared chunky, thick fillings. My temporary solution was to transfer the rugelach onto a new baking sheet (with a new sheet of parchment paper) half-way and then continue baking.
Good luck.
!hank you cowbunpants for posting the link to this alternate rugelach website! I was hesitant to use the filling listed on here after seeing the many comments about filling seeping out etc. I used the filling from theshiksa website and my rugelach turned out fantastic. Thank you again for sharing!
They are yummy and beautiful. Last year I have baked 3000 rugelachs for family and friends. It is my most requested of all the items I make. My recipe has Sourcream in it
It came the King Arthur website. I tested 4 other recipes before settling with the KA recipe.
Your rugelachs looks so good, tomorrow I will make a batch with the honey nut filling to start. As for the fruit filling, there is a brand called Solo that is a filling friendly for cookies etc... It has less liquid than most preserves or jams in the market. You can buy it directly from the company. Minimum is 6 cans but they have so many choices of fillings. Here in Los Angeles, CA I can find it at Bristol farms, Ralph's, Safeway. Thank you for sharing.
Let you know my result.
P.S. I check my rugelachs 1/2 way of the baking time given and rotate my pan because some spots have uneven baking. I also bake mine at 375 degrees F.
The oven temperature is not stated
I find the crescent rolling method a lot easier than the pinwheel method. I mean red bean rugelach (Serious Eats recipe) a few weeks ago, which called for the pinwheel method and it was a total disaster. It called for using parchment paper to roll out the dough, but the dough stuck to the parchment no matter how many times I refrigerated it and no matter how cold it was. Which made rolling up the dough incredibly difficult. The logs ended up being totally lopsided and breaking at many points. I eventually just gave up, did the best I could and put them in the oven in their imperfect state. They tasted great but looked awful. I had never had any problems with the the crescent method, so I want to try the same recipe again but do it that way.
My mom used to make these every year for Christmas, she always did fruit filling though, like strawberry preserves...so delicious!
These are pretty darn amazing... with a few caveats. I lowered the temp down to 350 and baked a few minutes less even, otherwise they burned. I also was trying out this recipe along with the other one mentioned in the comments and I feel like this one is much more suited to dry ingredients. Like my dad, I used cake crumbs, cinnamon sugar and walnuts (chopped finely) for my filling and they turned out incredible! When I tried it with preserves, even using a marginal amount, it was a messy nightmare. However, the other recipe, my dry ingredients couldn't get past the dough but the wet ingredients, raspberry preserves and chocolate were great. I talked to my dad after making these and he said that in his bakery, he also uses two different doughs for his rugelach.

Melissa's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
I'm a USC Alumni, so I have to support my USC Trojans! I love watching football and my NFL team is the Denver Broncos, but I also like following players like Clay Matthews, Larry Fitzgerald, Aaron Hernandez, Jeremy Shockey, Eric Decker, and of course my fellow alum Mark Sanchez. Aside from that, I've played soccer almost all my life so my favorite team is definitely the LA Galaxy.
What's your favorite movie quote?
"It can't rain all the time" from The Crow, and really anything Brad Pitt says in SNATCH.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
My favorite video game of all time is the first South Park video game that came out on Nintendo 64. Who doesn't love South Park and killing evil turkeys with urine snowballs? I kicked butt in that game! But I'll also take anyone on in Tekken or Mario Party :)
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I used to have my belly button pierced, and had an industrial bar in my ear, but I removed them over a year ago. The only thing I have pierced are my ears. I don't have any tattoos, but I really admire Nikko Hurtado's work. I don't know if I'll ever get a tattoo because there are so many different things I'm inspired by that I would want, and limited body space. I appreciate the art and I want to start collecting tattoo artwork to frame them in my office.

I've been playing around with everything in my closet lately trying to keep things fresh. Instead of staying simple like I normally do during the week, I decided to throw a few different prints and textures together. And here you have it, what I came up with. My mom ran into me as I was heading out the door and she was like "wait, you're going out like that?" and I said "psh YESH" under my breath in an annoyed-out daughter kinda way. It's such a comfortable look and I can't wait to wear it again even if it is slightly bagladyoffthestreetwhoforgottolookinthemirrorbeforeleavingthehouse.
As for what I've been up to, all I can say is things are crazy busy. I'm working nearly every single day next week. Not complaining by any means, I'm actually pretty excited. I've got some modeling and of course some fun blogging relating things going on that I can't wait to share with you! I have a day off next Saturday, where I'm hoping to spend the day meeting up with all my favorite LA bloggers! It's always so much fun when we get together because unlike most of my other friends, they LOVE taking pictures and don't get scared when I whip out the camera. Even though I'll be out and away from the computer most of the time, I'm going to try my very best to update the blog at night! Adios amigos. For instant updates, just follow me on Twitter! HAPPY WEEKEND!

Boehner: GOP will pass 'responsible' debt bill
Monday - 1/14/2013, 12:48pm EST
By ANDREW TAYLOR
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Speaker John Boehner says the GOP-controlled House will "do its job" and pass legislation to lift the nation's borrowing cap and keep the government running, but will insist that Democrats accept new spending controls.
Boehner acknowledged Monday that failing to lift the so-called debt ceiling would have bad consequences. But he also said that "allowing our spending problem to go unresolved" would be just as troublesome.
Without congressional action, the government would have to default on its obligations, a prospect that could send markets into a spiral and do broader harm to the fragile economy.
The Ohio Republican's statement came after President Barack Obama told reporters he was willing to negotiate on the budget but wouldn't allow the debt ceiling to be held captive in the process.

Mounts Liberty and Flume
Pemigewasset (Indian Head) 2557? / Flume Gorge
6 miles 2000? Elevation gain
Kevin, Judy, Emma and Blue
As Emma has grown older we have been revisiting many of the lower hills with less mileage and elevation. This has allowed us to return to many old favorites and Mount Pemigewasset is one of them. Once in the mountains Emma is determined to prove she is still the White Mountain Trail Dog she has always been, and always will be. For the past couple of years she has been willing to share the job of leading Judy and I along the trails with her good friend Blue. Their last winter hike in the mountains was nearly a year ago, so they were happy to be out together in the deep snow again.
Trail Buds
Having done little hiking in the past couple of months always makes us feel as though we need to warm up on some smaller hills before heading back up to high country, especially in winter. Mount Pemi is a perfect fit for us in this sense because it gets us out on the trail and up in the mountains where we hope to be able to spend more and more time again soon. We parked at the northern parking area and made the short walk to the trailhead and we were off. The night before had brought an inch or two of light powder which covered the evergreens and enhanced the overall good feeling of being all of us in the snowy woods together again.
Linda's Blue
The northern half of the loop does a good deal of winding and stream crossing to turn the trail into a mile and a half. We moved along the trail well with snowshoes and full winter packs for the first time this winter and took it slow while the bones and joints remembered their old burdens. In the powdered snow with filtered views of Franconia Ridge, our minds awoke with the realization of why we do this, memories which had laid dormant for long months since the last winter trek. Like the old dog at out feet that comes to life again on her beloved mountains trails, we felt the well of spring in our hearts there in the woods in the dead of winter.
We soon came out to the junction which lay just below the ledges. The other half of the loop wasn't broken. Emma led the way through the tunnel of snow-dusted spruce that brought us to the ledges where we could get our first clear views. The dogs burst out into the open as eager as we were to have a look around. We continued easterly along the ledge to where it bears northeast and you can get a nice view of the Franconia Ridgeline. We know there is a better ledge for viewing a short bushwhack from there, but had to consider tiny dogs in deep powder. No problem for Blue who spent most of the rest of the hike chasing imaginary rabbits through deep powdered snow. Emma will have nothing to do with such nonsense and finds it better to conserve her energy for the long haul.
3/4s of Us
At the south facing ledge we had some lunch under gathering clouds. The dogs ate as though they would never be fed again. Emma spent a good deal of her usual time on the edge of oblivion staring out over the open forest below, growling and snorting at ghost moose that we could not perceive. The trip back down went uneventful. Blue gives himself a good workout while Emma trots along at her own pace, it works out well, and the younger Blue treats his older mentor with utmost respect. They have grown to be great trail buddies.
Sentinel Pine Bridge Above The Pool
Soon back down where we started it was decided to add a few more miles by hiking the loop around the Flume Gorge area of the notch, it is a favorite winter hike when looking to just have a nice walk in the mountains. We went in a clockwise loop unlike most previous trips, and so visited The Pool and crossed Sentinel Pine Bridge before arriving at the Flume Gorge. The Pool and the bridge were their beautiful scenic selves on this fine winter day, but even though we knew beforehand, we were surprised to find Flume Gorge void of any climbable ice at this time of year, so void of climbers as well.
Hi-Ho, Hi Ho!
With the added hike around The Flume we estimated the day at 6 easy miles, and the dogs seemed satisfied as they settled back into the car and began to chew ice-balls off their paws and bellies. Despite being only a few chapters in to Forest and Crag I stopped in at The Mountain Wanderer on the way home to pick up some more books, always good to stop and talk with Steve! Soon Judy, Emma and I will be able to spend more time back doing what we love in the mountains, hopefully we will get in many more enjoyable days like this before any of us have to make that last inevitable hike. Soon too, a new chapter will open in our lives as Judy joins me in retirement. Whether this will result in us pulling up roots for a life in the mountains is yet to be determined, but we are looking forward to the possibilities.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 23, 2012)—Less than two months removed from her maiden victory, Potesta became a graded stakes winner Saturday, edging even-money favorite Eden's Moon in the $150,000 Hollywood Oaks (video) at Betfair Hollywood Park.
An 11 ½ length winner in her second career outing May 3, Potesta prevailed by a nose after a stretch long duel in the Grade II.
Trained by Mike Mitchell for owners Anthony Fanticola and Joe Scardino, the 3-year-old Macho Uno filly out of the Furiously mare Katzen gave jockey Joe Talamo his first Oaks victory.
Tracking the pace set by Eden's Moon while outside, Potesta moved up to challenge approaching the stretch, appeared to be going better than the eventual runner-up inside the final eighth, but had to find more again at the finish after Eden's Moon had re-rallied in the closing yards as the pair exchanged bumps.
The final time for the 1 1/16 miles over Cushion Track was 1:43.20.
A $75,000 yearling purchase in October, 2010, Potesta, who was second in her sprint debut March 22 at Santa Anita prior to her blowout victory at the Oaks distance, has earned $132,400.
The 7-2 second choice in the field of eight, Potesta paid $9.80, $4.20 and $3.40.
"It was all the horse today,'' said Talamo. "Eden's Moon is a real nice filly, so I knew I was going to need a lot of horse to get by. That's why I waited longer than I wanted to.
"I figured it would pay off the last part, which it did. We just got up. She's unbelievable. Mike has done an unbelievable job with her. That was her third start and she just beat a Grade I winner.
"When they can get headed and then come back like that, that's a real nice horse. I really think the sky is the limit with her.''
The win was also the first in the Oaks for Mitchell, who is second all-time at Betfair Hollywood Park with 884 victories, trailing the late Bobby Frankel (952).
"She's a gigantic filly, but very easy to train,'' said Mitchell. "She's not a gorilla, she's not hard on herself and she's so professional in everything she does. A fun horse to train. I thought Joe gave her a million dollar ride.''
Attempting to give Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert his third Oaks win, Eden's Moon wound up 2 ¼ lengths clear of Via Villaggio. The winner of the Grade I Las Virgenes March 3 at Santa Anita returned $3.20 and $2.80. She spotted the winner six pounds (119-113) Saturday.
"She broke really well,'' said leading jockey Rafael Bejarano, who turned 30 Saturday. "I thought I was going to win the race. She tried really hard.''
Stretching out after upsetting Sister Moon in the Grade III Railbird at seven furlongs May 19, Via Villaggio rallied for third after trailing for six furlongs under Joel Rosario.
The show price on Via Villaggio, who is trained by Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer, was $5.40.
Killer Graces, the other Hollendorfer participant, was fourth, 2 ¼ lengths behind her stablemate. It was the first time in six Cushion Track starts the Congaree filly, who won the Grade I Hollywood Starlet last Dec. 10, has been worse than third.
Completing the order of finish were Starlight Magic, Willa B Awesome, Open Water and Customer Base.
Racing will resume Sunday. Post time is 1 p.m. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 9:55 a.m. for simulcasts.
The feature attraction of the nine race program is the $100,000 Beverly Hills Handicap.
A Grade III for older fillies and mares at 1 ¼ miles on turf, the Beverly Hills is topped by Capital Plan. Winner of the Grade II Santa Barbara Handicap April 21 at Santa Anita at 10 furlongs for Mark DeDomenico LLC and Hollendorfer, Capital Plan will be ridden by Joel Rosario, who, beginning Wednesday, will be riding regularly at Belmont Park.

Topographical Map of Wisconsin Territory
This is the first large-scale map of the Wisconsin Territory based on actual surveys. The map was compiled and published by the surveyors Samuel Morrison, Elisha Dwelle, and Joshua Hathaway and engraved on three copperplates. In 1785, the United States Congress passed the Land Survey Ordinance, which provided for a system of square townships six miles on a side, divided into 36 one-square-mile sections. The map shows townships in the Wisconsin Territory surveyed by 1837. Also depicted are roads, trails, natural land forms, vegetation, mill sites, and the lead and ...

Answer the following question to subscribe to our newsletter
Welcome to Unique Estate Law. A Minneapolis Estate Planning and Probate Law Firm that promises to work with you to protect you and your family from an uncertain future. Every family needs certain basic legal documents such as wills, health care directives and powers of attorney. If you do not have these documents, you are giving the State of Minnesota the power to make your most personal and important decisions on your behalf – without your input. Don't let the State decide who will be the guardian of your children, who will make medical decisions for you should you become incapacitated or who will inherit your assets upon your death.
But basic documents are often not enough. I will work with you to custom design and draft a holistic plan tailored to your unique needs. For example, a revocable living trust is an effective tool for many families particularly if you're not legally married in the state of Minnesota or have minor children. If your family assets total more than $1 million, which can be more likely than you imagine, I will explain the possible tax implications of passing those assets to your beneficiaries. Further, I will create a custom plan to save your family from paying unnecessary fees or taxes.
Other powerful estate planning options include business succession plans, special needs trusts and cabin succession planning. After drafting hundreds of custom-designed plans, I have the knowledge and experience to help walk you through the process.
Each situation is different, whether you have a blended family, multi-generational household or own a small business, you must take extra precautions to create and safeguard the future of both you and your family against incapacity or death.
As someone who grew up in a blended family and as a parent who adopted my daughter through second-parent adoption, I have a particular passion for helping all types of families protect themselves and their loved ones. And as a board member of a medium-sized family-owned business, I understand how important it is to protect what you've spent time and care building. That's why I work with small-business owners to assist in making informed decisions regarding the growth and transition of their business.
It it is my mission to help you navigate all transitions in your life smoothly whether they involve the joys of starting a new relationship, adding to your family or protecting the family that you have or to guide you through the legal issues related to a death in your family. Whether you have traditional or non-traditional estate planning needs, let Unique Estate Law put the important decisions back into your hands by assisting with the following:

By delivering unified application and device management, both on-premises and in the cloud, you can support BYOD (bring your own device) initiatives by empowering people to work from the devices they choose while providing consistent access to, and protection of, corporate applications and data.
People want access to corporate applications from anywhere, on whatever device they choose—laptop, smartphone, tablet, or PC. IT departments are challenged to provide consistent, rich experiences across all these device types, with access to native, web, and remote applications or desktops.
IT is trying to enable people to choose their devices, but must also reduce costs and complexity as well as maintain security and compliance by protecting data and having comprehensive settings management across platforms.
Microsoft's solution addresses IT infrastructure management and user needs by unifying desktop and mobile device management (MDM), providing protection and access for cloud- and corporate-connected devices in a single infrastructure, or completely from the cloud.

The BMC Racing Team is taking immediate action to investigate what involvement Sven Schoutteten might have had with riders and staff during his interaction with the team. Schoutteten is alleged to be part of a doping investigation in Belgium that stems from 2009, before the BMC Racing Team was even acquainted with him.
Internal Investigation
"This is very disturbing news," BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz said. "Although he was only picked up to work when we didn't have enough regular therapists to support the races (he worked two days this year and 13 in 2010), we want to make sure his interaction with our team was nothing out of the ordinary. We do not believe there were any improprieties happening during his time with the team, but we want to make sure. He was not scheduled to be at this year's Tour de France, of course."
