I bought this for my husband for our 10th wedding anniversary. He was made up with it. The staff were super helpful and let me take loads of photos. The cars were amazing. My husband drove the yellow Lamborghini Gallardo and we upgraded to the special edition Ferrari 360 Stradale, he looked like the cat that got the cream. He said it was an amazing experience, as the instructors encourage you to push yourself when driving the cars. To finish the day off he got to have a high speed passenger ride. It was a fantastic day which he will not forget easily.
Claire, Rugeley
The Ferrari v Aston Martin Experience was just wonderful. I bought the gift for my boyfriend and I found myself getting more excited as I watched him from the Grandstand!!
The day was very well organised, I knew exactly where he would be, and when so that I could meet him at each stage to take photos.
The instructors were helpful and allowed you to push the car as much as you felt comfortable, as well as getting the best out of the experience. They were also calm, essential when driving at speed!
A perfect present!
GSR1, Surrey
The Ferrari Experience is a fantastic day for anyone thinking of purchasing an 'Experience'! The Silverstone staff were excellent and any fears that you would be limited to a certain speed were immediately allayed with the phrase 'We will teach you to get round the track as fast as you possibly can'. This was not just an experience, but a lesson in driving a supercar fast!!!
I would recommend it to anyone!
Our Ferrari experiences run at a selection of the some of the finest tracks that the UK has to offer. Please check each individual gift experience for further information.

Fenninger takes third in Bad Kleinkirchheim Super G
Anna Fenninger took her fifth career Super G World Cup podium in Bad Kleinkirchheim with a gutsy performance. With new snow on the course being cleared away early on in the morning, the Franz Klammer course was a challenging proposition for the field. Fenninger was deprived her first win in the Super G World Cup by Fabienne Suter in first and Tina Maze taking second.
Fenninger used the disappointment of her tenth place in the downhill on the same slope the previous day as motivation and felt unusually relaxed in the start, she admitted. "Usually I am really nervous in the start," she explained, "today I was not." Fenninger's run was very positive and for the first two splits at the top of the course she led the field. A slight error coming into the long turns leading into the finish and her lead was gone yet she was still challenging for the podium. By the time that the 22 year old cross the line, Maze's time was still in front of her but many of the talents that adorn the Women's World Cup had been beaten. Fabienne Suter came down not long after the HEAD World Cup Rebel and posted the fastest time of the day.
For Lizzi Goergl, ninth place was the reward for her efforts. "My run was clean and tidy but the last bit of fight was just not there," she admitted afterwards.
With World Cup Super G leader Lindsey Vonn still struggling with the flu virus that has seen her struggle since the New Year, this was the first time since 2009 that she has not been on the podium in a World Cup Super G. Vonn finished in 18th place. "I didn't have the self-confidence, I didn't have the power I normally have," Vonn said. "I'm still not myself. I'm just going to try to rest up the next couple of days and try to get my form back for the next races."
All being well Maria Hoefl-Riesch and Lindsey Vonn should both be in better health for the next speed races in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy (14 – 15 January, 2012). Lindsey Vonn still leads the Overall and Super G World Cup standings after this, the third race in the season long event. Anna Fenninger moves up to second in the Super G standings with her third place.
1. Fabienne Suter (SUI)
2. Tina Maze (SLO)
3. Anna Fenninger (AUT) HEAD
9. Lizzi Goergl (AUT) HEAD
18. Lindsey Vonn (USA) HEAD
27. Anja Paerson (SWE) HEAD

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
Like in most families, the Collins kids have carved out their own niches, bloomed into separate personalities apart from each other.
There are the athletes; the funny baby brother who calls the shots most days; the lone sister who plays clarinet and writes poetry but can keep up with her brothers; and then there is the calm one, the thinker, the one who escapes into books and art.
"Savaughn is the coolest," said his brother, Kaneil, 12, who prefers to play football over his brother's hobby of sketching make-believe monsters and characters.
Savaughn Collins, 13, is so laid back his mother's friends have given him a nickname. "They call him 'Grandpa,'" mom Quibilah Barnes of Landover said.
On a recent autumn day, Savaughn, wearing a plaid shirt buttoned to the neck, exudes a quiet, cool demeanor while sitting with Barnes, his father, Lennard Collins, and stepmother, Crystal Moore, in the living room of their Waldorf home.
His maturity might come from facing more in his 13 years than most people do in a lifetime.
Born at Laurel Regional Hospital with kidney disease and lung problems, an infant Savaughn was swept away from his parents and placed in the neonatal intensive unit of Children's National Medical Center.
It was a troubling time for Barnes.
"I didn't get to bond with him," she said. "I was there with him every day," but she didn't get the cuddle time, that mommy-baby period she had with his older brother, Detreich, and later with Kaneil.
There was fear of the unknown, too.
"As parents," Barnes said, looking at Collins, "I thought it was going to be so difficult [to have a sick child]. Where were we going to get the strength?
"You need a support system," Barnes continued. "A group of people, family, friends. You need that support and you have to stay positive."
The family soldiered on. There was nothing else they could do. This was the hand they were dealt.
Barnes' mother, Tanya, was always there, and Collins and Barnes believe her personality influences Savaughn's laid-back vibe.
Savaughn underwent more surgeries than family members can tally, he was put on daily dialysis and medications, he endured long hospital stays at Children's.
And life continued.
Collins married Moore, who brought along daughter, Ajanea, and a few years later, they had a son together, Jordan.
The family and the children are the most important thing to the adults in it.
The kids always would stay together, no matter what.
That means that all the grownups have to be on the same page.
"You have to communicate," Barnes said.
"Communication is the biggest thing," Collins agreed.
The only way Savaughn was going to get off grueling dialysis, get off the bland diet of food that tastes like "wet paper," as he described it, was to get a kidney transplant.
His parents were asked if they had a preference of a living donor or a deceased one.
They didn't care, they wanted, they needed, a kidney.
When Savaughn was 8, one became available.
"I was scared and excited," he said, remembering how he felt being wheeled into the transplant surgery.
About a year later, they learned that Savaughn's body was rejecting the kidney. It was a devastating blow.
"It crushed everybody," Barnes said.
It meant going back to dialysis, hospital stays, a return to being on the transplant list, waiting for the call about a kidney being available.
On March 13, Barnes got the call.
A kidney was available.
"You have four hours to get there," she said of hustling to Children's. "No matter where you are in the world, you better get there."
Just off from school, Savaughn grabbed his bookbag, hoping to get some homework done before surgery.
So far, so good.
Savaughn received a kidney from an organ donor who had died.
It is a gift that he is determined to take care of.
"This was a caring person, a very caring thing to do," he said of the donor and the decision to donate so another person had a chance to live. "I made a promise that I would take care of it."
The family are huge proponents of organ donation. The adults are organ donors, and most likely once they are of age, the kids will be too.
Savaughn faithfully takes his medications and is fine following a certain diet because his health depends on it and "I know I'll get in trouble with these people," he said, pointing to his parents and Moore, if he starts to slip.
But finally he gets to indulge in the occasional candy bar — stops at 7-Eleven are nirvana.
"'Go pick something out,'" Collins tells him whenever they make a detour to the convenience store. "It's chocolate all the time."
Recently, Savaughn decided now that he is on the road to being a "normal kid" he wanted to help others.
"I know what they're going through," he said.
Moore did a quick search and found that Children's was holding a fundraising 5K, Race for Every Child.
The family raised $1,000 in two weeks for the STARS team — Savaughn's Team of Ambassadors Rallying to Support.
While they didn't get to participate in the Oct. 5 event because of other obligations, the family likely will continue to give back.
Savaughn will make sure of it.
"I want to continue to help," he said. "It's the right thing to do."

The Inauguration Parade on Pennsylvania Avenue
4 more years. Boohyah!
They had the Orion space capsule from NASA in the parade, even though Obama cancelled the program. Along with the capsule was a replica of the Curiosity Mars Rover, that Obama's Admin had absolutely nothing to do with. How much more phoney can you get?
What do you expect from the grandstander in chief, he even took credit for Bush's and Al-malwicki's status of forces agreement for Iraq withdrawl.
After reading these posts I can understand why someone might.
Now we know how Custer felt....
I could hear chanting in the background, " And the great Lenin illuminated our path, we were raised by Stalin to be true to the people. To labor and exploits he inspired us…" Comrade Barack Obama; United Socialist States of America.
Can't believe that The White House hasn't been featured on an episode of "Cribs" yet.

Recent Water Shoe Reviews
L.L.Bean Discovery Sandals, Closed-Toe
Very good sandal to use when canoeing, kayaking, or just being in and around the water. Reasonably priced and very comfortable. Meets a need for a paddler with larger feet, who cannot access some other paddle shoe brands. My husband recently purchased a pair of L.L. Bean's Discovery Sandal to use when canoeing, kayaking, or just being in and around the water. He knows I really like my Brewer water shoes, (see our review on Trailspace). For canoeing, he has been using an inexpensive pair of neoprene… Full review
Astral Brewer
Solid shoe for everyday use. Recently saw these on sale and needed a pair of water shoes for an upcoming trip to Dominican Republic. Received them and have worn them regularly since. Very comfortable shoe with or without socks. Shoe does not seem to hold odor in, but man do my feet stink after. Haven't had a chance to actually use them in the water except for watering the lawn/garden, but the soles seem super sticky so far. Full review
Columbia Men's Drainmaker III
I do a lot of wilderness canoeing and I'm always getting my feet wet. For years I'd wear old running shoes or sandals, but recently I found a product that combines the benefits of both. The Columbia Drainmaker III is a hybrid shoe that looks and feels like a traditional running shoe, yet adds the water draining features of an open toed sandal. The secret is the breathable upper mesh that allows water to seep out, combined with 'drain ports' built into the sole of the shoe that allow the rest of… Full review
Astral Brewer
This is the first pair of lace-up, shoe style water shoes I have owned, and I admit, had I not won these, I probably would still be using slip-on neoprene cheapie-type water shoes. But these are great! I have used them for many canoe outings and canoe camping trips, and I can say that I cannot imagine a better pair of shoes for my paddling needs. In deciding which size to order for this model shoes, I did some research, which indicated they may tend to run a bit small; I ordered a half size up from… Full review
Teva Men's Omnium
I completed my first 100-mile ultra marathon this past weekend. The hard terrain was too much for my lightweight running shoes and the ball of my left foot was starting to hurt. At about mile 27 I switched to my Omniums (which I had received the Wednesday prior). I completed the last 73 miles of the event in my Tevas and they held up magnificently. As I said, I received them on the Wednesday prior to my Saturday race. Ironically, I only wore them once before the race because I noticed a little chaffing… Full review
Astral Porter
Comfortable, lightweight water shoe. My wife and I had Astral V-Eight PFDs. We like the design and quality of them so I bought a pair of Astral Porter Watershoes at Delaware Paddle Sports. From what I've heard the Astral Brewers are good also, but I like the non marking soles of the Porters. I wore them paddling twice without socks with no chaffing but, I wear them with low Smartwool socks just because I don't like to go sockless. After a paddle if I have soaking wet feet I'll sometimes switch… Full review
Gempler PVC Plain Toe Boots
Gempler's PVC Plain Toe Boot is a nearly indestructible, waterproof boot that is perfect for caving and canyoneering. It would also have great application in canoe portages. If you ever meet a European caver, they will probably be wearing "Wellies," those big rubber boots designed for mucking about in the barnyard. The problem with Wellies is once they fill with water, you are carrying that water weight, until you drain them. Gempler's 6" Laceup PVC Boot (sold in both plain and steel toe) is an… Full review
Vivo Barefoot Women's Ultra Pure
A great, lightweight camp and water sport shoe! So far, I am extremely thrilled with this shoe. I was looking for a lightweight camping shoe to take backpacking, I wanted something more than the flip flop but nothing quite and heavy/big/clunky as crocs. These shoes don't squash down too terribly well, but they are light and easy to strap to the outside of my pack. They are great for around camp, tying the bear bag, late night trips into the brush, etc. They let your feet breathe and you can wear… Full review
Teva Men's Churn
Excellent shoe. Excellent shoes, period. Not just water shoes, but everyday walking shoes. In fact I have been wearing almost nothing but these Teva Churns for about five years now. Almost have worn out one pair and set them aside for work shoes like digging in the garden or whatever dirty work. Wearing a pair now that is about 1.5 to 2 years old and have two more pairs still brand new in the box waiting on deck for when my daily pair wears out. I have yet in 5 years even worn them in the water… Full review

Coronary arteries bring oxygen rich blood to the heart muscle. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is narrowing of these arteries. If the blockage is complete, areas of the heart muscle may be damaged. In a severe case, the heart muscle dies. This can lead to a heart attack, also known as a
myocardial infarction
Causes include:
Men, especially those who are over 45 years of age, are at increased risk. Women who are over 55 years of age are also at increased risk.
Factors that may increase your risk of CAD include:

Chest pain may indicate more serious unstable angina or a heart attack if it includes the following:
Accompanying symptoms may include:
Immediate medical attention is needed for unstable angina. CAD in women may not cause typical symptoms. It is likely to start with shortness of breath and fatigue.
If you go to the emergency room with chest pain, some tests will be done right away. The tests will attempt to see if you are having angina or a heart attack. If you have a stable pattern of angina, other tests may be done to determine the severity of your disease.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.

A small, daily dose of aspirin has been shown to decrease the risk of heart attack. Ask your doctor before taking aspirin daily.
Other blood-thinning medications may be prescribed.
These may help prevent angina. In some cases, they may lower the risk of heart attack.
Medications, like statins, are often prescribed to people who have CAD. Statins lower cholesterol levels, which can help to prevent CAD events.

Colin Linden is the guy you're pretty sure you know from somewhere.
He's the darkly attired guy you've seen at the grocery store, and the darkly attired guy you've seen playing in various actors' bands on ABC's "Nashville." And he's the darkly attired guy who you're pretty sure you saw playing with Emmylou Harris, and also on that night when you stumbled into 3rd and Lindsley to hear a Canadian roots rock band called Blackie and the Rodeo Kings.
And wasn't he a part of that "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" project? And didn't you hear about him joining Bob Dylan's band last year? Isn't he a producer or something? Or a blues guy?
"Yes" to all of that. Linden never seems in a hurry, but he's a dervish: Hardest-working Nashville-based Canadian in show business.
This week, he fronts Blackie and the Rodeo Kings on "Music City Roots" and — for the first time — on the "Grand Ole Opry," and he and Rodeo Kings bandmates Tom Wilson and Stephen Fearing will play a Bluebird Cafe round, all in celebration of newly released album "South."
And he'll be working as a performance coach on "Nashville," and probably doing some recording. (Much of the music heard on "Nashville" features Linden's guitar.)
"It can be a little bit whirlwindy, but it's really fun," Linden says of his life in musical multitasking. "It's going from something I love better than anything else to something I love just as much, and that's really stimulating."
In 42 years as a professional musician, Linden has played in most every imaginable scenario, from blues dives to concert halls and from threadbare studios to the world's finest recording rooms. The top of all of it for him came in December, when he joined Dylan's band for three weeks. Dylan's modern shows are often criticized as ramshackle affairs, but Linden says the experience was transcendent.
"Best gig I've ever done," he says. "I loved it. I think he's the greatest artist of my lifetime. I never got to play with Louis Armstrong, and that's the only thing that might have been comparable. It was quite amazing for me, but it also felt comfortable. Letting the songs reveal themselves as you play them, listening to the music and reacting to it, it was sort of like playing with some of the great, older blues artists. You have to be aware, and he hears every note of what's going on up there: He's really attuned to what's going on."
In love with his job
Then again, Linden takes a "best gig I've ever done" approach to each of his gigs.
He loves working with the actors on "Nashville," enthusing about their passions for getting the music right. He loves playing solo gigs. He loves playing with Blackie in America, where the band is critically hailed, and in Canada, where Blackie is a major commercial force.
The group started in 1996 as a side project that recorded only songs written by Willie P. Bennett, but it has gone on to become an expansive combo that delivers fierce musicality and plenty in the way of original material. Recorded in Nashville, "South" is the band's seventh album.
"We wanted to record here because Nashville kicks your (posterior) in a way that no place in the world does," he says. "I get such a thrill doing a session here with Richard Bennett or Viktor Krauss or Marco Giovino or Buddy Miller. The bar is so high, and you learn so much being around that kind of vibe."
Linden's journey in music began before he was a teenager, when he met blues hero Howlin' Wolf in a Toronto bar. He keeps the Wolf in mind when making music, taking care to consider whether he's doing work that would please his forerunners.
"There are ways of measuring what you do that are maybe more accurate than sales," he says. "Like, how good a time did you have? How good a time did the people who were there have? And the best we can do is to make the ancestors happy. I like to think about whether the Wolf or Muddy (Waters) would have felt good about it. That's the spirit we're trying to honor."

I was just looking to buy a welder and decided on a Lincoln 305G efi, why I was looking for info on the internet and read a whole lot and came to the choice of my new Lincoln.
People basically said ford and Chevy, a personnel choice. But I came across hearing about the mother boards giving trouble. So I said to myself a welder bouncing around on a truck the electrics have to be not liking it. I had a ranger 8 on the back of a ford super duty with the 7.3 and from new to over 500,000 miles and in a 10 year time span, that ranger 8 is still striking a arc. So that is why I bought my new Lincoln 305G efi.

still propane mike here, i was leaning toward the miller
Trailblazer 325 because I have a blue truck. I guess I'll get looked at funny because I have a blue truck with a red welder.
So I guess its time to get a red truck, for looks
my new welder lincoln 305G efi
Congrats in your new purchase. I'm in the market for a new genny/welder as well. As for my needs I'm leaning towards the ranger 250gxt or Bobcat 250. Would like the trailblazer302 airpak if I win the lottery too.
The reason for those choices is that they have AC output. I wanna be able to run AC tig off of it one day and those are the most economical. That stainless cover on the Range250 looks sweet too. Still a few months from actually getting one so I'll have the opportunity to play tennis with myself on which one I actually get.
Keep the posts coming on how you like it. Enjoy! You remember what Ricky Bobby said, well if you don't like Big Red then f@&$ you!!!lol

New Michael Jackson Video!
It's hard to believe that Michael Jackson has been gone for five years. His music continues to live on! His classic songs will stand the test of time for sure. With that in mind, it […]
Michael Jackson Lives in "A Place With No Name" Video
The video for the track, which re-imagines the 1972 classic, "A Horse With No Name" by America, ditches that King of Pop hologram, for real archival footage of the singer.
Quincy Jones Says Michael Jackson's 'XSCAPE' Was 'About Money'
"They're trying to make money. And I understand it," Quincy Jones said in a new interview. "Everybody's after money, the estate, the lawyers. It's about money."
Michael Jackson's Hologram Performs 'Slave To the Rhythm' at Billboard Music Awards
Dressed in similar duds to what he wore during his Dangerous days he performed "Slave to the Rhythm," a song he originally recorded with L.A. Reid and Babyface during the Dangerous sessions in 1991.
Justin Bieber & Michael Jackson Collaboration Coming, Promises L.A. Reid
"We're going to revisit it and do something really special with Justin Bieber and Michael," Reid said in a recent interview.
Hear Michael Jackson's New Song 'Do You Know Where Your Children Are?'
As one might imagine, the title comes from the popular public service announcement on American television that ran before the nightly news from the 1960s through the '80s.
Hear Michael Jackson's New Song 'Slave To The Rhythm'
Originally recorded with L.A. Reid and Babyface during the Dangerous sessions in 1991, this new version has been pumped up with a little help of MJ's own unique brand of beatboxing.
Hear Michael Jackson's New 'XSCAPE' Track 'A Place With No Name'
Another day, another Michael Jackson track. This one is a re-imagining of the 1972 classic, "A Horse With No Name" by America.
Hear Michael Jackson's New Song 'Loving You'
The track– a sweet bass-heavy song about unrequited love–was recorded during the 1987 Bad sessions at Red Wing Studio in the San Fernando Valley and later completed the song at Hayvenhurst.
Listen to Two Versions of the New Michael Jackson Song 'Love Never Felt So Good'
For an entire globe full of fans, the wait is over. Michael Jackson's new single, "Love Never Felt So Good" has hit the internet.

It all started in the 1960′s with Dick Clark and American Bandstand. Every Saturday morning, he would count down the top 10 songs of the week. Then in 1985, Late Night with David Letterman started making fun of People Magazine's top 10 lists. I have always enjoyed both because they were relevant and, in the case of Letterman, funny.
List content was created to be easily digested and everyone wanted to know what the top song was, or the the top thing that "almost rhymes with peas", in the case of Late Night. There was a time when these lists got your attention and maybe they still do, but I have recently come across so many that I have soured. Are you itching to know what my #1 reason I don't like Top Ten Lists?
I don't have 10, only 3. Read On.
Drum roll, please. The top 3 reasons I have soured on 10 lists:
#3 10 is too many. Who has that kind of attention span anymore?
#2 The entertainment value of lists has gone way down. I will take quality entertainment over quantity any day of the week.
And the #1 Reason I have soured on Top 10 lists is…
#1 Overuse. When a marketing device becomes so common that it makes a marketer cringe, well then, it's time for something else.
See today's recent tweets at the right for some examples. You get what I mean, right?

Animals receive quick medical exams.
Guest Blog by Kristen Limbert ASPCA Animal Relocation Manager
We're at it again! As part of our monthly transport program, the ASPCA just relocated 33 more dogs from Louisiana to New Jersey. In partnership with the Louisiana SPCA, AnimalWorks and St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center, we're able to bring a group of southern dogs to the Northeast, where they are more likely to get adopted—and we can do it every month!
A unique part of this transport is our partnership with AnimalWorks, a Tennessee spay/neuter group. Located at the trip's halfway point, it is the perfect pit stop. Our transport team is greeted by staff and volunteers, who help us offload all the dogs, as well as walk and play with them, giving them a nice reprieve from the cages on the truck.
Vets and vet students are also on hand to provide quick medical exams—checking for any signs of illness, injury or stress that would preclude a dog from making the rest of the journey. So far, all the dogs have handled the trip beautifully!
We have no doubt that this group of canines will find loving homes just as quickly as our April batch did—and we sure are happy help give them that chance.
It's a bird. It's a plane. No…it's a Hover Cat! Special thanks to ABC's Good Morning America anchor Dan Harris for making a soon-to-be-viral YouTube video that features adoptable pets. The video also stars Dan's adopted cat, George, whose incredible talents spring to life as soon as Dan leaves for work. This cat seriously knows how to keep a beat!
While the cuteness can't be ignored, neither can the video's ultimate message: Adopting a pet is awesome! So go ahead, take a peek…and be sure to share! It's a great way to encourage more folks to adopt.
Thanks again, Dan!
The nearly 300 million egg-laying hens in our country live in cages that afford each hen just 67 square inches of space—smaller than a sheet of paper. That's outrageous!
Last year, a bipartisan group of U.S. representatives introduced a bill in the House promising egg-laying hens better living conditions. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), along with senators from both sides of the aisle, recently introduced a companion measure in the Senate. This important bill needs your support!
The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012 would increase the amount of space given to laying hens (they're currently so cramped that most cannot even stretch their wings), and allow them to do some of the things chickens love doing: perching, dust-bathing and nesting. Plus, various inhumane practices would be banned. This is a major step forward! The bill would also require that egg cartons disclose the standards under which the eggs were produced so consumers know what they're buying.
Take Action!
This bill is a common-sense measure supported by the United Egg Producers, the American Veterinary Medical Association and various consumer and animal welfare groups, including the ASPCA. And right now, our nation's hens need your support, too. Please contact your senators today and ask them to co-sponsor S. 3239 to provide better lives for egg-laying hens!
Finally! Ohio Governor John Kasich has signed the Dangerous Wild Animal Act into law. The Ohio House of Representatives passed the bill 87-9 on May 22, and the Ohio Senate passed it 30-1 in April. With the Ohio governor's signature, only six states——Alabama, Nevada, North Carolina, West Virginia, South Carolina and Wisconsin—have little to no restrictions on the private possession of dangerous wild animals.
The bill comes into law about seven months after 56 exotic animals—including lions, tigers, wolves and bears—escaped a Zanesville, Ohio farm. The farm's owner, Terry Thompson, reportedly freed the animals before committing suicide. Nearly all the animals were shot dead as they roamed the city streets.
"We commend Governor Kasich for recognizing the need to regulate dangerous exotic animals and ensuring the safety of Ohio residents, as well as the health and well-being of wild animals kept as pets," says Nancy Perry, ASPCA Senior Vice President of Government Relations.
The new law will:
- Ban new ownership of dangerous wild animals, including big cats, some smaller exotic cats, bears, hyenas, gray wolves, non-human primate species, alligators and crocodiles in Ohio;
- Grandfather in existing animals so people who currently have them can keep them, as long as they obtain a permit;
- Require owners of exotic animals covered under the grandfather clause to acquire liability insurance or surety bonds ranging from $200,000 to $1 million;
- Require existing owners of exotic animals to comply with housing and safety standards to be established by the Ohio Department of Agriculture; and
- Require owners of existing exotic animals to pass criminal background checks to qualify for a permit.

Guest blog post from Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations
Last month, I told you about soring in the Tennessee walking horse industry and the illegal infliction of pain on the feet of horses using chemicals and devices to create an exaggerated gait. We have raised this cruelty crisis with high level officials and urged the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to provide stronger regulation of this abusive industry. In recent weeks, we've redoubled our efforts to push for change, and we are starting to see a response.
New rules released today by the USDA take an important step toward eliminating these unethical and cruel practices. The rules make it mandatory for the industry groups responsible for monitoring shows to issue fines and suspensions to those caught soring horses. We applaud this move because we know that mandatory fines send a signal to trainers who profit from torturing horses that their abuse will no longer be treated as business as usual.
What Else is Needed to Stop This Cruelty?
Many horse advocates and USDA's own Inspector General all agree that self-inspection won't get the job done. Violations must be uncovered in order for fines and suspensions to occur. Industry oversight doesn't work and continuing a system of industry self-policing is likely to perpetuate the same problems. The facts speak for themselves: Even though USDA inspectors attended only 8 to 10% of shows in 2011, they found over half of all violations reported. We cannot rely on the industry to report its own misdeeds.
While the new rules are a true sign of progress and deliver a clear message that violations will not to be tolerated, industry self-regulation is not the long-term solution. It's time for Congress to finally take the power out of the hands of criminals. Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to use your voice for these underprotected animals.

The Israeli government said today that since the beginning of its military operation in Gaza, cyber attackers have launched more than 44 million attempts to disrupt the operation of various Israeli government websites, but were only successful in knocking out one site for a short period.
"One hacking attempt was successful and took down a site for a few minutes," Carmela Avner, the Chief Information Officer at the Finance Ministry, told ABC News. Avner said the website in question belongs to a "small unit of one of the ministries," but declined to comment further.
Israeli Finance Minister Dr. Yuval Steinitz ordered the government CIO unit to operate in emergency mode but said he remains confident in its abilities.
"We are reaping the fruits on the investment in recent years in the development of computerized defense systems, but we have a lot of work in store for us," he told reporters during a visit to the Government Computing Center in Jerusalem.
The Prime Minister's office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the President's residence were among the government websites targeted. Israeli government websites are a common target of cyber attacks, Avner said, but the sheer volume this time around indicated a clear escalation during the Gaza operation.
The dramatic spike comes after the loose hacking collective Anonymous announced online that it would be targeting Israeli websites "in retaliation for the mistreating of people in Gaza and other areas."
Anonymous, the same group that reportedly took out the CIA's public website for a few hours in February, claimed it had attacked approximately 10,000 Israeli websites, both government and private.
Avner said most of the attacks on the government websites were designed to overload the site servers with excessive data. One method of doing that, known as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDos) attack, is a fairly rudimentary tactic historically favored by Anonymous.
Tweeting under the hashtag "OpIsrael" after the name it had given to its campaign, Anonymous claimed to have disrupted service on dozens of private Israeli websites, including the website for the Bank of Jerusalem and the local servers for news outlet MSN and search engine Bing. Both MSN and Bing's Israeli home pages appeared to have experienced trouble earlier Monday but were functioning properly as of this report. The Bank of Jerusalem's website's homepage was functioning but its English section was inaccessible.
Anonymous also tweeted a link to what it presented as the personal contact information of more than 3,000 "donors to Israel," including members of the U.S. Congress. Much of the data appeared to be a compilation of publicly available contact information.
As the real-world military operation gained steam last week, Anonymous posted what it dubbed as a "Gaza Care Package," containing information in Arabic and English about how to circumvent Israeli online surveillance by shielding IP addresses and how to set up alternative Wi-Fi access in the event of an internet shutdown.
Anonymous made the care package apparently in response to what it called Israeli threats to cut off electricity and internet access in Gaza. That threat was not reported elsewhere and there have been no reports of internet or power outages in Gaza so far.

A Transit in Tarakan

Categories : Travelings - Cuisine - Sightseeing
Visiting Tarakan was never crossed my mind before. If only, I didn't plan to visit Derawan, I would probably missed it. Actually there are two options if you want to visit Derawan, one via Berau, and the other is via Tarakan. My friends and I chose the latter. The flight to Tarakan took about less than 3 hours if it's a direct flight. It was known as one of oil producers in the past, and to remind us of that, we decided to visit what is left from its...

'Boss Monster' - More Kickstarter $ucce$$
I posted this in a topic about the New Age of Animation we're in thanks to crowdfunding and felt it should be a subject of its own.
Not only are film projects happening in Kickstarter but just about every creative endeavor you can imagine. This one involves a card game called "Boss Monster".
With 8 days left in the campaign and with a goal of $12K the project has reached $121,262 through 2,918
backers so far!
Man, that's some incredible results! All sorts of exciting things are happening in the creative community thanks to crowdfunding. Projects that would likely never see the light of day through the system of no are suddenly experiencing success by connecting directly with fans.
Check out the Boss Monster campaign...

I will have this sign with me at the Rib-off on Saturday evening, Sunday morning before the Ceremony, and Sunday night at the Downtown Festival/Fireworks.
Please stop by and say hello. I'd like to meet as many of you as possible. I'll be taking pics and video and whatnot to document the trip, and think it would be awesome to meet a bunch of you folks and include that as part of it.
Plus, we've all been starting threads and PMing each other trying to figure out a way to coordinate... I think this will make it easy. So I'm going to try to sit in one place as long as possible, with my sign, in an effort to get us FinHeaven people together.
It's also great (free) advertising for the site. It's the least I can do to pay back FinHeaven for the tix I won.
So when you see this sign, stop on over and hang out for a while, or just say hello. Either way, let's make sure FinHeaven is heard LOUD AND CLEAR for Dan on Sunday.
FinHeaven Rocks!!!

Javelin Broderick - Weekend of Firsts..
NEWS March 30, 2012
Photo by Brian J. Nelson
(March 30, 2012) - First, I wanted to thank all of my family, friends, sponsors and fans who cheered me on during my very first event with AMA Pro Racing. It was my first time at Daytona International Speedway, so I was pretty nervous and excited at the same time. I have also never had to qualify for a race before so that added a whole new dimension to racing for me but it was great!
The qualifying went ok for me getting midpack in 25th position out of about 50 bikes. The Dynojet / ZAG Racing / Yamaha R6 pulled strong around Daytona and throughout the first race I picked up 10 positions. A little bit of bar-banging on the final bend of the banking made me lose some drive and relegated us back to 18th but we were still very happy to make up the positions during the race! My laptimes were decent too dipping into the 54's. Still need to make up a couple of seconds to catch the front pack but I am confident that we will get there.
On Saturday morning I crashed out in morning warmup. It was just a silly mistake on my part as I ran off track coming off the back straight. I kept it up fine and went through the grass but didn't realize that since it was still early morning, the grass was still covered in dew. I grabbed a bit of throttle coming back on the pavement and the bike high-sided me. I went over the front of the bike and I guess my glove hooked in the windscreen which not only pulled my glove off but tore a pretty decent gash on the top of my left hand. It took 25 stitches to close it up and even though I wanted back out there for Race 2, there was no time after I finally got out of the medical center.
The team is in final preparations for Road Atlanta coming in April and even though I am running the West Coast Championship, I am still excited to race each and every round on the AMA Pro Racing calendar. I think it's going to be an amazing round for me as I get back to a little bit more of a traditional road-course. Still got to sort some things out to qualify higher but I learned plenty at Daytona!
See you all there and if you can't be there, don't forget to check and see if you can get SPEED2 as that's where my races are broadcast!

I understand non-stick cooking sprays cannot be used. What about the spritzers filled with cooking oil (which creates a type aerosol spray with your own oil)?
It's nice having professional grade cookware. After a couple of years they are getting seasoned, the bottoms are browned on the heavy use units. But they clean up easy, haven't scratched, just as stick-free as new, and look great on the hanging pot rack...

anolon advanced cookware
Did research before buying and then checked around locally and on line this was the best price anywhere that I could find and the pots and pans are exactly what I read about and what I wanted. The reviews on them are spot on!Read More
Wonderful!!!! I checked the rating before I purchased. Anolon was rated #1. And I can see why. I would suggest this to anyone looking for high quality cookware.Read More
Love these pots.
I haven't bought new pots in 40 years & decided I needed some non stick variety. I've seen the Anolon on sale at Macys & did buy the 2 pack of fry pans. Since these have performed very well, I thought I would try the pots & pans. I have not been disappointed & have used the pots & pans many times since I've received them. The only "problem" is that because of the high handle on the lids, I cannot stack the pots unless I invert the covers, but they are not stable. I've had to redo my cabinet where I store my pots & pans so everything stores without falling over. Other than that everything else about the pots are fine. Thank you for running the special on the pots at the time you did.Read More
Clean up is a snap

I noticed a comment/review on a department stores website that the warranty would be voided if cooking spray was used in the cookware. Is this true?
Our use and care instructions are included with our cookware with nonstick coating does state using Aerosol cooking sprays will cause an invisible build up in the pan and cause the nonstick to stop releasing over time. Not following the use and care would void the warranty replacement policy since this damage would not be a manufacturing defect and unfortunately the result of using the spray.
Is this product dishwasher safe?
Yes, it is.
I also am interested if this product works with induction ranges. Waiting on answer to Sept 15 question
Unfortunately, this set does not work with induction ranges.

Recipient: Bishop Museum
Honolulu, HI
Grant: 2007 Conservation Project Support (CPS)

The Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, will exhibit three newly repaired feather cloaks when it reopens the renovated Hawaiian Hall in August. Known as 'ahu 'ula, the cloaks were worn by male members of the Hawaiian ali'i, the chiefly or royal class in traditional Hawaiian society. Each magnificent cloak, one of which dates back to the mid-18th century, is made of bundles of tiny red and yellow feathers of now-extinct birds secured to a net foundation. The cloaks, which are eight feet wide and weigh 20 to 30 pounds each, were restored with the support of a 2007 Conservation Project Support (CPS) grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
Much of the repair, stabilization, and mounting of the three cloaks was done with the help of two graduate-level conservation program interns, Beth Nunan from Buffalo State College and Aimee Ducey from New York University, during an advanced three-month internship between June and August 2007. [Editor's Note: The Art Conservation Department at Buffalo State College will partner with IMLS on the June 16-17 Connecting to Collections forum on "Stewardship of America's Legacy: Answering the Call to Action."]
"Summer internships allow conservation students to practice what they've been taught," Nunan said. "And working with graduate school conservation students is a good way for museums to get a project done well while aiding in our education. It was a very well-planned internship."
"This once-in-a-lifetime internship took me out of the theory of the classroom into the real world application of methodology," said Ducey. "The experience was also important for preparing me to work in a museum environment, like I am this year at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany."
Valerie Free, the former conservator at the Bishop Museum who directed the project, and Jennifer Saville, a former curator at the Honolulu Academy of Art who volunteered in the conservation department, intentionally developed the internship so that the young conservators were exposed to the museum and community as a whole. The curriculum used for the project was developed in consultation with Buffalo State University, New York University, UCLA/Getty, and Winterthur/University of Delaware. The heart of the internship was the labor-intensive restoration of the cloaks.
The cloaks were cleaned, broken netting repaired, loose feather bundles reattached, holes stabilized, and fragile sections reinforced with support materials. The treatments for the cloaks and the development and construction of the cloak mounting system were fully documented in written reports and extensive digital photo documentation.
"Sometimes we were lucky if we got an inch done a day," Free said. "Working on textiles is physically demanding. Our backs and shoulders were aching like crazy—even the young kids were hurting—because we had to hunch over a table working with tiny needles, thread like spider webs, and tiny feathers."
"It's exhausting," agreed Nunan. "For eight hours a day, five days a week, we sewed and mended the cloaks. We got very close with Bishop Museum staff so it was like being in a sewing circle. We would talk, listen to NPR, or just get into the Zen of it. The conservation lab is spacious and the view is gorgeous."
Once the cloaks were repaired, stabilized and fitted with heavy felt removable liners, exhibition of the cloaks was addressed. In the past, the cloaks were hung vertically on the wall, which stressed the textile at the point of attachment. The flat format also did not accurately represent the cloaks' design. In spring 2007, Free and Bob Barclay, a visiting conservator from the Canadian Conservation Institute, developed a mount that displays the cloak in the round and distributes the weight of the cloak over many points of contact with the structure. The new mount, which resembles an umbrella with wooden arms mounted on a metal pole, was much less expensive to build than previous mount designs. The savings were used to make new mounts for the six remaining cloaks in the collection.
When they weren't laboring in the conservation lab, the interns learned about the multiple demands placed on collections by the museums and the communities, an essential part of their training, Free said.
"As conservators, we have to balance the museum's and community's needs with what we have learned about safeguarding the collections," said Free, who now is Exhibits Coordinator for the Anchorage Project at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
To expose the interns to various aspects of museum practices, Betty Lou Kam, the Bishop Museum's vice president of cultural resources, lectured on how collections serve the museum's mission and how competing interests impact the use and preservation of collection materials. In addition, Dr. Susan Lebo, an historic archeologist, presented on the stylistic development of feathered cloaks and capes through the 18th and 19th centuries and their socioeconomic impact as trade commodities. Dr. Roger Rose, former curator of ethnology at the Bishop Museum, spoke on the museum's 100-year history of collecting Hawaiian feather cloaks.
Young conservators also learned about the community's needs. Native Hawaiians care deeply about how their culture is presented and it is incumbent on museums to consult with them, Free said. "Once, I had to prepare a carved Hawaiian deity for exhibition. It was extremely deteriorated because it had been found on the bottom of a riverbed many years ago. Our community consultants told us that they didn't want it to appear deteriorated. In addition to stabilizing the object, I made some improvements to the appearance by applying a wax surface coating, which is not a usual conservation practice. I tried to restore the original dignity to the piece in a very modest way."
To help the interns learn more about working with the community on cultural collections, Free arranged for a net making workshop by Umi Kai, a cultural practitioner.
"It was a rare opportunity for the students to understand the values that go with the techniques. Umi Kai explained the cultural practices related to gathering and processing the fibers for the net, the chants that are done while weaving the net, how the nets were used to catch the birds, and the reverence for the deities that provided the resources for life. It totally enhanced the process," Free said.
"The act of being culturally sensitive is essential to the field of art conservation, whether it is the handling of sacred ethnographic objects or fine art, or dealing with the effects of World War II in Germany," Ducey said. "Everything we touch, as conservators, has manifold meanings for different groups of people that must be at the forefront of our treatment decisions, and considered with respect."
Free also arranged for the young conservators to join native people on a Kapuna panel where local residents brought their objects for examination, like a Hawaiian Antiques Road Show without the monetary appraisals. After the event received media attention, staff from the Doris Duke estate and the Queen Emma Summer Palace invited the students to visit, Free said.
"Conservators need to publicize their work. It's paradoxical because if we do our work well, we're not seen. We can help by raising awareness about conservation," Free said.
Another part of the internship focused on stimulating the interns' interest in research through a series of lectures and tours of the museum's collections led by collection managers from anthropology, vertebrate zoology, botany, library, and archives. The students spent a lot of time in the library, eventually developing a paper on the cloaks for the Textile Society of America annual meeting.
"I hope Beth and Aimee were able to see how much of a collaborative effort the internship was. It's exciting when you get so many people working towards the same goal. And It was really great to have their help after working by myself for so many years," Free said.


text: First of all, I should have known better. It's tough for even a great man like Mitt Romney to overcome the handout class. The poor people outnumber the rich by a longshot. South Florida should be ashamed of themselves. At the end of the work week on Friday, I laid off 11 people. I simply can't afford to continue spending this kind of money while being taxed to death at the hands of Bacrock Osama. I made sure I picked out 11 people that I thought voted for the handout president though. It will be interesting to see how Obama handles this mess he's inherited. But for myself and others like me, it's still better to be educated and rich than to be poor and envious like most of you who voted for Obama. Birds of a feather or something like that. Anyhoo, I went to the bar Friday night with my VP. I hit on some mid 30s single mother who voted for Obama. I wined and dined her until I earned her trust. When she went to the bathroom I snatched her cell phone up and texted the word REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to hurricane sandy victims. I did that about 8 times and bailed.
