Beautiful Black and White Contest: Win a Free Chair in the Los Angeles Scavenger Hunt
"As tried and true blue, you bring a no-nonsense attitude to most endeavors, and your strong belief in the things you undertake is often the key to their success," Smith says. Blue was also the favorite color of designer Lee Ann Thornton's clients – the color launched the palette in this Old Greenwich, Connecticut, living room.
"Celadon indicates that you are a good listener, have genuine compassion, and allow others to express their hopes and fears," Smith says. In this Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, dining room with light green accents, designer Laura Church Wilmerding added oomph with Osborne & Little's Jangala Rose wallpaper. Dining room chairs from Classic Imported Design look ethereal in Nina Campbell's Deauville.

Lord T and Eloise go shopping at the Guggenheim View all events this week »
by Kevin Crowe
Born into unimaginable luxury, Lord T and Eloise have come to the New World to spread the gospel of Aristocrunk. Their story began in England, when the two burst forth from a golden placenta: One child was born with golden skin, the other with white ringlets and a decadent blue ring, and our heroes spent their early days trimming hedge funds, wooing ladies with their Epicurean tastes and, of course, spending more money than any other rappers currently in the game. These dandy bluebloods aren't kidding when they say they're here to save rap. They're vicious on the mike, even though they're bedecked in the most foppish digs this side of the 18th Century.
According to legend, on the shore of their private beach, a bottle washed ashore, with a note inside. The rhymes are in danger , the note said. Hurry, you must come to America to save rap. The note was signed by MisterE, the mysterious American who has since become the prime beatmonger behind all of Lord T and Eloise's rhymes.
â"We're trying to save the game,â" MisterE says. â"It's the music of our generation, and we've watched it rise from greatness to become a genre lost in the wilderness. We are here to let it out.â"
â"We bring our Aristocrunk because we have a love for rap music. People misinterpret; they think we're mistreating hip hop. But what we're doing is real.â"
The whole charade is brilliantly tongue-in-cheek. Sporting a huge white-powder wig, Lord T (née Cameron Mann) has a deceptively smooth flow. When Eloise (née Robert Anthony) comes into the picture, it's pure theater. Every inch of his exposed skin is slathered in gold paint, just like Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger .
Cue the strings/ Bump the cello , MisterE tells us on â"Million Dollar Boots,â" a song that features Memphis-crunk stalwart Al Kapone. It's probably not like anything you've ever heard. The beat flows ever so delicately, like a Baroque motet. And then comes Lord T's silver-spooned lyricism: People of pedigree come to see Lord T/ Geneticists try to decode my fine breeding/ It does not mean a thing if it does not cha-ching, cha-ching/ People travel the world to kiss my blue ring/ Come into my trust-fund/ Where the money come from?
Who cares Lord T , Eloise chimes in, his voice just a little raspy. It's just another lump sum!
â"It's about our estates, our parties, our lifestylesâ. I think we are bringing honesty back to the game,â" Eloise explains. â"Celebrating once again the important parts of humanity through rap, instead of the shallow elements. Our goal is to take the lead, because we're born leaders.â"
â"We grew up with the Beastie Boys and Grandmaster Flash,â" Mann says, as he drops the outrageous persona of Lord T. â"We've watched it grow from an underground movement into a worldwide thing. It's been over-commercialized.â"
â"A lot of the rap out there does take itself too seriously,â" Anthony explains. He too has become more austere, a little less flamboyant than his on-stage antics would lead you to believe. â"There are a lot of tired themes. We've heard about growing up in the ghetto. We've heard about gun shots.â"
The rhymes are as cocksure as any crunk to come out of Memphis in recent memory. And the beats are thick, beefed up with plenty of synth blips. Nevertheless, true to the aristocratic sensibilities of his frontmen, MisterE adds a tinge of class to his beats by sampling opera singers and cellos.
â"Is this project degrading rap music? Is it negative in any way?â" Mann asks. â"More than anything, what we're trying to do with the satire is to really poke fun at American culture, not rap music. American obsessions with getting their bodies worked on. Our characters, although they indulge in these excesses, are a part of our social commentary.â"
The over-the-top decadence isn't so much an indictment of the current state of rap music. Rather, Lord T and Eloise symbolize the wanton excesses, the big pimpin' anthem of epicure consumption. Cashmere head to toe , they tell us in the aptly titled â"Cashmere.â" How many cashmeres had to die for this?/ I don't know.
â"It's performance art,â" Mann says. All the tired tropes that continue to litter rap music are embellished to the n th degree whenever Lord T, Eloise and MisterE step on the stage. It's ridiculous. It's velveteen decadence. It's the most fun you'll have this weekend.
WHO: Lord T & Eloise WHEN: Friday, July 6, 10 p.m. WHERE: World Grotto

Third three for Marquis.
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
Did you guys here the PA guy... Quisy for threesy

Great D by Granger on Iggy, too bad his shot was off in the 4th Q. He played 40+ minutes to contain Iguodala so maybe cutting those minutes down (Williams perhaps?) will be key for the next games.

Gorgeous addition
This is sturdy and fancy. Love it!Read More
Worth it!
Love this table. Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Firm cushion on top. Great color (as pictured). Would by this again. A little on the pricey side for what it is unless you take advantage of overstock.com promotions.Read More
The ottoman is exactly as pictured. It was super simple to assemble and very well made. Be prepared, it is a good size!Read More
Well built
The positive is that this ottoman is well built, sturdy and easy to assemble. Just as indicated in other reviews the color is different than shown in the picture. The true color is closer to a clay/olive hue vs. off white or cream. The description online indicates a soft brown which is not accurate. The ottoman is higher than expected but works for my sofa.Read More
Attractive Product, but will it last?
I am an interior designer, and was thrilled when I found this a sturdy, attractive ottoman, but after living with it for 2 weeks I have a few issues with it. 1 - My main concern - The ottoman top is already starting to flatten in the places where my husband and I put up our legs. If this is happening so soon after purchase we are not sure what this ottoman will look like and feel like in several months time. The foam is not as resilient as we would like. 2 - Minor Issue - for those of you with children looking to protect them from sharp corners, be warned that the metal edges below the upholstered top can be very sharp. 3 - Product Design Issue - The Metal frame is attractive, but functionally it can be cumbersome. The two longest crossbars at the base look great, but when pulled up to a sofa can get in the way of your feet when you try to stand. If there was just one long crossbar down the middle at the floor connecting/stabilizing the two side legs your feet would have more room to move, and you would be able to slide on to the sofa with less of a tripping hazard. That said - for the price it is a great looking and sturdy ottoman. Just be aware of the flaws before purchasing. If the top gets too flattened and uncomfortable over time you could possibly get it reupholstered with an extra layer of foam...Read More
Fantastic Ottoman
I adore this ottoman/coffee table. It is an expensive looking piece and has a lot of weight to it which reinforces the quality. The fabric is a beautiful linen style weave, but very durable compared to a normal linen. I have a chaise lounge in a similar color from Z Gallerie and the quality on this ottoman is much higher than on the Z Gallerie fabric. I would recommend this piece to anyone looking for a simple, streamlined look but with soft corners perfect for little ones and clumsy adults alike.Read More
Absolutely Thrilled
At first I was a little bit nervous about this purchase based off a review that I read but boy was I happy that I took the chance! It is very comfortable, looks high end and durable,and there is no concern with sharp corners. The metal base accentuates the industrial look I am going for but the fabric softens up the look. It is very important to look at the close up pictures of the fabric as it is more beige/oat meal then off white. Moreover, the price could not be beat! The coffee table came in 5 business days and everything was included in the package that allowed for a quick assembly; It took me less than 30 minutes to assemble it by myself. The only tool you will need that is not included in the package is a screw driver. If you are worried about storage, you could pair this up with a serving tray and you could store a couple of large baskets underneath. Overall, I would definitely recommend this to a friend and could not be more satisfied with my purchase.Read More
Well, for this price I was expecting around **** quality. it is 100x better than expected. I could have paid 3x the price for this item else where. I am so happy with this piece!Read More
Perfect and just what I was looking for!
Modern twist on the ottoman coffee table! Fits perfectly with my sectional. I put a tray on table to put books, remote, etc. fabric seems durable. Looks nice with charcoal grey couch. We were so pleased and easy to assemble as well.Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Bridget76, the color is more taupe in my opinion. We try to represent the colors of our products accurately. Unfortunately, due to the difference in monitor colors we cannot guarantee that the color will match exactly what you see on your screen. Thank you for shopping with us.
Why did you choose this product?
Restoration Hardware style.
Had ordered another fabric top ottoman coffee table but product was defective. This is a good alternative and price was right. Also, liked the detailed reviews I saw.
The dimensions listed are 18"h x 28"d x 48"l. Is the 28" depth accurate? When I tape out the measurements, it does not look like the long, thinnish rectangle in the pictures. I am wondering if the 28" is a typo? What are the actual measurements?
Hello bostonlaur, I hope your day is going well. You are correct the width is the 48 inches and the depth is the 28 inches. I opened the box and measured it. We did get the height right. I apologize for the confusion and will get the dimensions corrected. Thank you for shopping with us.
Can you sit on this? In the description above it notes yes, but a comment below shows no. Please clarify for me. Thank you!
Hello browns11, This ottoman is beautiful! I apologize for the confusion; Overstock.com does not weight test items, so we're not able to say what weight of person this could hold. I hope this information helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
The table was really stable, hefty, solidly built - could definitely sit on it, and I did.
How heavy is this piece? Thanks!
Hello lauracate78, this pieces weights approximately 46lbs. If you have any additional questions please feel free to let us know. Thank you for shopping with us!
Not sure, didn't weigh it; I could pick it up by myself but I probably should have asked for help. And I'm not a wimp.
When do you expect this piece back in stock?
Unfortunately, at present, this item is presently out of stock. Please feel free to check back with us periodically to see if the item has returned.
Not exactly an answer to my question, I see that it's out of stock. But thank you anyway.
This item is currently in stock.
The dimensions look incorrect in the product details. What is the length of the table? ■Dimensions: 18 inches high x 28 inches wide x 48 inches deep I'm assuming 48 inches deep should be the length?
The dimensions are 18 inches high by 28 inches wide by 48 inches deep.
Dimensions: 18 inches high x 28 inches wide x 48 inches deep Yes deep would be considered length
I love the look of this but likely want to change the fabric on the top. Does the ottoman come assembled or does the top detach from the metal frame easily?
It detaches fairly easily and could be recovered.
Can you describe the fabric? Does it resemble linen? I love the piece but am concerned whether the fabric will look "cheap" since it is listed as polyester.
The material is 100 percent polyester.
Can you use this for seating?
Because of the thin legs on the item I would not suggest a full grown person sitting on it. A small child may be able to, but this is not meant for seating.
how much weight can this ottoman take?
Unfortunately, we do not have any weight specifications for this item.

Restore American: Fire President Obama
The November 2012 election is a clear choice between those who want limited government and those who want to expand the government to create a Utopian society patterned after the worldwide socialist countries.
The mainstream media, lap dogs for Obama, are telling America that Romney cannot win. A first-page story in Sunday's (Sept 23) Fort Wayne Journal Gazette is titled "Romney campaign not down, just drowned out." The author of this "front-page news, comment, or propaganda" is Dan Balz of the Washington Post. This is a first-class lie! The obvious propaganda (not news) goal is to discourage the Republican opposition.
The truth is the conservative movement that began in the 2010 elections is in full force and preparing to get the voters out on Nov. 6.
Most people will be surprised by the November 2012 vote; I will not!
This year the mainstream media has ignored huge turnouts of conservative Americans in Dallas, Texas, in July, and Cincinnati, Ohio, in September who are dead set on derailing the unrealistic progressive goals and restoring America.
The American people are finally waking up to the media agenda (not news), and their good common sense tells them that all is not well in Obamaland. They see (1) Federal debt up, (2) unemployment up, (3) gas prices up, (4) food stamps up, (5) household income down and (6) hourly wages down.
If the mainstream media were honest, they would be investigating and reporting on the real issues (partial list above 1-6).
If you feel something is wrong at the top in America, I urge you to get out and vote in November. Let's restore America as the world symbol of real freedom. Fire Obama!

New president bad for once-great Purdue
Purdue University once stood for top technical training and other excellent programs.
The leadership was of a quality unsurpassed.
I'm not sure we (grads) can say that anymore, given the political (bent) nature of the new president- Mitch Daniels. I fear now that Purdue U. will become P.U. (stink).
I fear that a once great university has fallen to a political pile of cow manure.
How sad is this?
As a past governor of Indiana, he ranked quite "mediocre." He touted wind energy programs that are likely to fail.
He touted solar energy for a state that hardly has enough sun to grow good food.
Now he tells us we have a "surplus" that needs to be spent.
He "gave away the farm" in a poorly written contract for maintaining our toll road. That "contract" was given to a foreign entity who has returned asking for more money to do the job.
No doubt IPFW (an extension) will now name a "lacky politico" to its lead position.

Let's stop bullies and testify against them
I've just watched a program on "Katie" where she interviewed two girls who had been bullied.
Does everyone understand that bullies act against others to feel superior to them? The fact that bullies rarely act alone should tell us something about why they put others down.
The damage bullies can do is horrendous. Modern technology gives bullies the opportunity to harass their victims unrelentingly.
Recognize bullies for what they are, insecure people who influence others to act with them to disrupt the lives of innocent people. These are people whom we should stop, report and testify against.

Cody and Elizabeth both received several scholarships to support them financially and to return the favor have established their own scholarship to benefit current students in similar programs.
Since graduation Cody's employment has had them participating in production agriculture. They spent two years corporate farming in Kennewick, Wash., after which opportunities arose for their family to return to Jerome, and begin farming in partnership on the family farm. The 3,200-acre farm consists of irrigated row crops such as sugarbeets, corn, wheat and alfalfa. They now have three sons: Keegan (5), Oliver (3) and Calvin (1) who all love riding in the tractors and trucks.
Cody currently serves on the Ag College's Alumni Council, as a Local Advisor for Northwest Farm Credit, as alternate on the Farm Service Agency County Committee, as a station director for the Northside Sugarbeet Growers Association and sits on the Seed and Research Alliance for the Snake River Sugar Company. Elizabeth currently serves as a member of the Jerome County Fair Board.
In their spare time they love to travel to new places both near and far, and both recently became SCUBA certified. Cody likes woodworking and Elizabeth enjoys gardening.

After marrying in 1958, Dave and Barbara began giving back to USU in 1959 through the Buck-of-the-Month Club, the precursor to the Big Blue Scholarship Fund. And while their lives have taken them to various places throughout the country, the Kragthorpes continually supported Utah State. They are members of USU's Old Main Society, President's Touchdown Club and the Merlin Olsen Fund. They are also lifetime members of the USU Alumni Association and have financially supported the Alumni Association at the Legacy Level.
While at USU, Dave lettered in football and baseball. He was twice named to the All-Skyline Conference team and selected for USU's All-Century Team. He received both his bachelor's in 1955 and a master's, in school administration, in 1963, from USU.
Barbara attended USU from 1956-1958. While at USU, Barbara was an officer in Associated Women Students and Women's Intramural Association, co-chaired the Winter Carnival and was on the USU yearbook Buzzer staff.

Scott Fuhriman
Homecoming 2013
Alumnus of the Year
Scott Fuhriman came to Utah State University in the early 1970s to study agricultural systems and technology. He enjoyed his time at the university and still bleeds Aggie blue. Scott, along with his brother, Michael, took over a family farm that has been in the family for 110 years in Pocatello Valley, Idaho. Scott and Michael have worked on the farm for decades and grow wheat, alfalfa and some specialty seed crops.
Scott was blessed with two children, Dusty and Dixy. In September 2005 Scott lost his only son, Dusty, in a tragic van accident that took the lives of eight students and one faculty member in the USU Agricultural Systems and Technology program. Instead of growing bitter at this terrible loss, Scott chose to give back. He took the money he had saved for Dusty's college and established an endowed scholarship in Dusty's name at USU. He attends the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences scholarship banquet every year and meets those students who are so much like Dusty, hard working, with strong ethics and great hope for the future.
In 2011, Scott also named a soil lab in the new agricultural science building after his son Dusty. Later in 2012, shortly after the loss of his father, N. Dean Fuhriman, Scott established an endowed scholarship for him as well.
Scott was recently re-elected to serve on the Farm Service Agency county committee for Oneida County in Idaho. This will be his third and final three-year term on the committee. For the last 10 years, he has served on the board for the Idaho grain producers association, representing Oneida County.
Scott's generosity toward students and desire to give back to his alma mater have also inspired others to give back. Scott encouraged his uncle, Carl Fonnesbeck, to start an endowed scholarship in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, earlier this year. Currently Scott and his brother, Michael, along with his uncle, Carl, are finalizing a gift of a 30-acre farm to the university. It is located in Clarkston, Utah, and has been in the family for more than 100 years. The farm will be used for research work by USU's Agricultural Experiment Station. Scott is a true friend to USU and to the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences.

WASHINGTON--The U.S. State Department moved nearly a year ago to put Taiwan ahead of other nations with which Washington hoped to pursue a nuclear trade agreement, drafting text for a renewal pact that would include a key nonproliferation pledge by Taipei (see GSN, July 19).
"If you want a 'gold standard,' then you want to do Taiwan first," atomic-weapons expert Jeffrey Lewis said on Wednesday, referring to the East Asian state's inclination--first reported by Global Security Newswire last week--to promise it will not enrich uranium or reprocess plutonium on its soil. Conversely, Lewis said, "if you don't want to lock yourself into the gold standard, you want to do the hardest case first."
Advocates say a signed pledge not to domestically produce nuclear fuel could help reduce the risk that a foreign nation would divert sensitive nuclear energy materials into a clandestine atomic-weapons program. A Taiwan renewal agreement might allow for the transfer of spent fuel abroad for reprocessing--perhaps to France--if the U.S. allows it, a Taiwanese official said on Thursday.
The United Arab Emirates in 2009 was the first to incorporate such a restriction into its own trade agreement with Washington. If Taiwan proceeds in a similar manner, it could be the second worldwide and the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region.
Taiwan depends solely on the United States to provide it with sensitive technologies and materials for generating nuclear power, upon which the island nation relies for one-fifth of its electricity needs.
Its government has no plans to produce nuclear fuel, so the nation is well disposed to include a provision banning these activities in its forthcoming pact with Washington, U.S. and Taiwanese officials told GSN last week. Several spoke on condition of not being named because of diplomatic sensitivities.
As of last August, renewal of Taiwan's 1974 atomic cooperation accord with the United States was not on a "short list" for completion drawn up by an Obama administration Interagency Policy Committee, according to government correspondence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
The White House uses the policy committees, chaired by National Security Council staff members, to decide by consensus an array of defense and homeland-security matters.
"While Taiwan is not on the IPC agreed short list, some staffers at State think that we should begin this process since the renewal is coming up in 2013 (maybe in 2014)," an Energy Department senior policy adviser, Richard Goorevich, said last September in an e-mail message sent to two other DOE officials.
The 40-year pact with Taiwan expires in 2014, but to avoid a time gap in nuclear cooperation, a renewal agreement could proceed as early as 2013.
The State Department this week did not respond to specific questions about which nations' new or renewal accords were to be completed in what order, and the reasons why some were prioritized ahead of others.
The department did say on Friday, though, that it is "engaged in negotiating [nuclear-trade] agreements with Jordan, the Republic of Korea and Vietnam, and we are discussing an agreement with Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and the [International Atomic Energy Agency]."
"We also intend to open negotiations with a number of other countries, many of which have existing agreements that are expiring [or] will soon expire," the State Department continued in the e-mailed statement. "We cannot provide specific information about the status of ongoing negotiations."
Richard Stratford--who leads U.S. atomic trade talks around the globe as head of the State Department Nuclear Energy, Safety and Security Office--last year told his Energy Department counterparts that he was uncertain as to why a Taiwan renewal agreement was being pursued ahead of pacts with other nations, according to Goorevich's Sept. 23, 2011, e-mail message.
"I have spoken with Dick [Stratford] and he is unsure as to why this was sent to us now and why we are going out of order from the IPC agreed list," the Energy official told Joyce Connery, then a senior adviser to the agency's No. 2 official, and Sean Oehlbert, an Energy program manager and policy adviser.
Connery later that day forwarded to Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman the Goorevich e-mail, flagging it, "This is the issue of which I wanted you to be aware."
Goorevich had advised in the original message that State's draft text had included "essentially the no-ENR language from the UAE agreement," despite the lack of any similar language banning enrichment and reprocessing in Taiwan's existing nuclear trade agreement with the United States. Issue experts sometimes use the term "ENR" as shorthand for enrichment and reprocessing.

"I loved everything about this gift tag! Looked great on clear cellophane goodie bags for my son's Star Wars themed birthday party."
"We are so very happy with this birthday card. My son wanted a Star Wars theme for his birthday and, of course, TP had something for the occasion that was right up his Star Wars alley and right up my elegant and adorable alley. We were thrilled with the cards options - photo/no photo, age, font selection, etc, as it allowed us to create the perfect card for our occasion and as always the card quality was wonderful. Almost every single RSVP we received mentioned what a great invitation we sent out - so it definitely didn't go unnoticed. This invitation was a hit all around; parents, recipients and, most importantly, my son all loved it - definitely a 5 star card!"
"Love these for my space obsessed son. Would have liked an option to put "To ____" and then "From ____" instead of just a single name. Great nonetheless."
"I actually thought these were little note-cards, but was happy to discover that they are stickers. I just stuck them on the party favor bags."

Hi everyone! In this instructable I'm going to show you how to make rainforest shower head in 10 minutes,with only few simle things that you probably already have in your house. It doesn't require special skills. Be careful while working with stuff that gets hot,cause it can be painful! :)
Step 1: Things you will need:
Things used may vary,I used things that didn't have any purpose,but you can find other stuff that can work as well.
First of all,I used 10 cds box. Then you'll need a hot glue gun,some hose,one shower head(the one you use right now will work),needle,ruler,scaplel,candle and some ordinary tools.
Step 2: Drawing grid
Step 3: Piersing holes
Step 4: Makig the base
Step 5: Close the box
Step 6: The hose
I did this so i can put my rainforest shower head on and off,and choose between regular shower and this one. :)
Step 7: Structure
Step 8: Result
I hope you like it!
Take a plastic baggie, fill it with vinegar, wrap around shower head with rubber band or rope. Leave for couple hours or overnight. It's like magic
This would be a great $20.00 project. Thanks for the idea!
It's still a very clever idea, my friend!
you may want to drill a 1/8 in hole at 5/32 on center from the hose edge to keep the hose from shifting one way or the other when you tighten the ties. of course you dont want to make them so tight it deforms the tubing.
this set up will allow you to position it w/o placing bending stress on a ridged support. bending stress eventually causes structural failure due to work hardening and metal fatigue on the places that bend the most.
besides, it would look more professional and not something you had to improvise in a hurry.
Awesome hack!!!
Well done and thanks for sharing mate :)
Nice shower mod!!

Thanks in part to my tax return, I have purchased six books that I will read over the spring.
Art of War- Sun Tzu
Conquest of Gaul- Julius Caesar
The Prince- Nicholo Machaivelli
The Confessions- St. Augustine
Gulliver's Travels- Jonathan Swift
Fabric of the Cosmos- Brian Greene
I've already started on the Art of War. I have to say that even though I've read it before during my adolesence (because it was "cool"), I am getting so much more out of it now, especially when it is read as an allegory for everyday life.
Do any of you have a list of books you're planning on reading over the spring? Or have you read any of the books I've purchased?

Rwanda report (long)
I went with a group to study the history of Rwanda. We were there for two weeks, and I was the odd one always taking pictures of the food. The most we paid for a meal and alcohol was about $25, which included a (too) generous tip. Most meals were well below that.
Most of the time was spent in the capital, Kigali, where the go-to snack for many of us was the meat samosas from Blues Cafe or Bourbon Cafe (both of which served great breakfasts with awesome coffee). If you didn't get there early enough, they were gone. Cheap and filling. Add on a Fanta Citron and that was dinner right there.
At the posh and historically significant Hotel Mille Collines (aka Hotel Rwanda from the film), we had some nice cocktails in the garden, including their eponymous punch and a killer Caipirinha, which included a rarity—ice. I had a nice burger there one night too. It was cooked just as I like it (medium-rare), although I was prepared for the consequences if the beef was too under-cooked. Staying a couple of nights meant we could avail ourselves of the extensive breakfast buffet, where my faves were the fresh fruit drinks (passion fruit, guava, watermelon, OJ, etc) and the other hot items, like the mushrooms in pastry smothered in a mushroom cream sauce.
In general the flavours in the country were very simple, perhaps just salt and pepper. Not much heat so I learned to dash some Akabanga oil (scotch bonnet peppers and veggie oil) onto everything. Lots of carbs too in the form of chips / fries or other potatoes.
And while the service was always friendly, we often waited 1-2 hours for food. As we learned, the locals looked at dinner as a 2-3 hour affair. Given I live in a city with great Asian food, I had wanted to compare the Rwandan versions of Indian or Chinese but never had the chance.
The following are some photos from meals around the country.
Kigali—New Cactus
Great views of the city at night and popular with ex-pats and tourists. Went here twice. I liked the vinaigrette atop the huge avocado. First time had the tilapia, chips and veggies with provencal sauce. Like many places, the fish was over-cooked. Don't have a pic of the other appy I liked on the second visit, chevre with bacon and honey triangles, which were like a samosa. I had their pizza from the wood-fire oven this time. Crispy crust.
Another place with a nice view of the city and also popular with ex-pats and tourists. Along with a Tusker lager, although I would've preferred a glass of red if the selection were better, I had a steak with chimichurri, mashed cassava, and veggies. This place also has a screen for films, and we caught part of the doc Trouble the Water for the city's film festival.
A couple of times we hit an African buffet. This place means "welcome" in Swahili, and many of us loved the change and authentic cuisine. We still shied away from the fresh veggies—sigh, because they looked so good. I liked the beef dish, which easily tasted like beef caldereta, and a dish with (I think) cassava leaves in a peanut sauce. Also enjoyed the fried plantains / cassava / cauliflower.
Akagera National Park—Akagera Game Lodge
A decent steak cooked more like a medium. The potatoes had a nice crisp. This place also offered a great breakfast. I think I'm spoiled by having so much passion fruit.
Kibuye—Centre Bethanie
Beautiful setting at Lake Kivu. Unfortunately, we'll remember this as the "no running water place". Wonder how they were still able to cook. More potatoes and deep-fried tilapia, although the menu indicated grilled. Some of us crashed a party above the resto, and these photos are the morning after with the two prime beer choices in the country. Or you could also have the rocket fuel that tasted like very strong gin.

"Don't ask where the eggs come from."
We had a special request from our pal Kevin Murphy to be added to Disapproving Rabbits, and how could we refuse? Kevin is perhaps best known for his work on Mystery Science Theater 3000, and can currently be heard as part of the Rifftrax team and singing with the Rifftones.
Kevin's spring avatar (he changes them with the seasons) is from artist Len Peralta, who you may remember from the Geek-A-Week project that featured Sharon as Hawkgirl. If you like it, you can order your own!

Student Health Services assists students in maintaining a positive, healthy lifestyle to achieve academic success. Student Health Services is funded by student activity fees. One hundred percent of our budget is used to deliver quality health care to students.
Hours of Operation
Our office is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. while school is in session. Please call 575.562.2321 to make an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome.
Our Location
Our office is located in Curry Hall. Look for our sign and come in through the west entrance of the building.
What We Offer
ENMU Health Services offers preventive and acute health services similar to your family health care clinic, at little or no cost to students. Family Planning services, screening lab testing and treatment for infections are also provided at ENMU Health Services.
We believe preventing infection is very important; we offer immunizations at little or no cost to ENMU students. The meningitis vaccine (Menectra) is strongly recommended for first-time students who will be living in dorms or in group living facilities. Two doses of MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine is needed to protect students from these contagious diseases. We also recommend the influenza vaccine annually, since the "flu" season usually hits around the winter finals week or in the early spring.
Student Health Insurance
ENMU does not endorse a particular health insurance plan. Your office visits at Health Services are provided at little or no cost to you. However, we encourage all students to have health insurance for unexpected illness or injury. Visit our Student Health Insurance page to get started.
Please review the Student Handbook for additional information.

Dumbest **** I ever heard. This draft is cluttered with talent at wr. Let's do the right thing and draft them.
Our o line is second weakest unit behind Wr. Our defense gets better if we can score more than 17 a game or at least run the damn ball
I still say address WR in both draft and free agency. That means one of the top 3 guys in FA and one of the top 2 picks in the draft
I'd really like to sign a big name guy and then scoop Keenan Allen and then Ace Sanders in the 3rd or 4th.
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.
with ireland i'd be worried about the wrs he'd draft and hell the free agent wr he'd covet also...it's not like he's really hit in free agency
hoops scoops 2012 season ..."in 2014 ryan tannehill etches his name in stone amongst the games elite qbs"..."ryan tannehill and andrew luck will carry the afc for the next decade plus the way peyton manning and tom brady have this last decade plus"
for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
See below.

We do not need to bring in 3 FA play making wide receivers A. also, his argument about our receiver drafting history is kind of moot because those are all mid to late round picks (also I still think Mathews will blossom into a starter for us).

Am I the only one who's still waiting on that splash Ross was talking about?

Phoenix, Ore. -- Starting this morning, some drivers getting on Interstate 5 in Phoenix will need to find an alternate route.
The southbound on-ramp at exit 24 and Fern Valley Interchange will be closed for nearly a week while construction crews connect a temporary on-ramp.
During the five day period, Phoenix drivers heading south will need to use Highway-99 to Talent and get on the interstate there.
"It will be a little different at first but the reason for that is that we need to open up this area so that the contractor can begin working on the west side. We're trying to provide some certainty and safety to drivers and we hope to do that by opening this temporary on ramp," says Gary Leaming, ODOT.
The new temporary on-ramp should be completed by this Friday.

Leysin is a charming resort town, located in a sunny position on a high plateau, and often overlooked as a destination for a ski holiday in Switzerland. Leysin has plenty to keep visitors entertained both on and off the mountain. The village has two sports centres with swimming pool, climbing wall and a skating rink, or those looking for more of a thrill can head to the Tobogganing Park for snow tubing. The resort has a good selection of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes. There is a revolving restaurant, Le Kuklos, at the top of the Berneuse cable car with views out to Mont Blanc , the Eiger and Dents du Midi. The ski area has 60km of pistes and a freestyle park, featuring a selection of rails and kickers plus a fantastic halfpipe. The resort has become very popular with snowboarders, and hosts an elite world championship event in January. There is a 7km cross-country track leading through the forest with lovely views of the village and a number of winter walking and snow-shoe trails. The lift pass for ski holidays in Leysin includes Villars and Les Diablerets, and also Les Mosses – all fantastic neighbouring ski resorts. Leysin is just two hours from Geneva Airport , and boasts some great apres and nightlife spots. Drinks are reasonably priced by Swiss ski holiday resort standards! There are excellent sports and entertainment facilities to be enjoyed on ski holidays in Leysin, for alternative options to skiing, or for filling the time between bouts of enjoying the pistes. There are a few very good ski schools, and a great selection of runs to suit your mood and ability while on your ski holidays in Leysin. You could also check out Europe's largest tobogganing park, or a cheese making centre; the famous Kuklos revolving restaurant at the La Berneuse is a must for everyone.
You do not currently have any holidays in your shortlist.

"I was so impressed with the way Laura handled my initial call that as soon as I got home I decided to forget all of the other agents and companies and call her straight back and book the holiday. Thank you again Iglu for being so user friendly and more importantly thank you to Laura for being such an asset to your company and the sales profession."

Welcome to TxDOT's project information database. We're glad you are interested in knowing more about our funded transportation projects. We continue to expand and update this database with the ultimate goal that it serves as the gateway to all of TxDOT's project-related information.
A few things to note about Project Tracker:
You can locate projects by county, state/federal legislative member, and those funded under the Stimulus Program and by Prop 12 and 14 bonds.
It includes projects that were in the design phase as of September 1, 2008. Updates will be made as projects progress through design and construction.
TxDOT will update the Project Tracker once per month. Keep in mind that data and schedules could change as the information is updated.
Many of these projects are very large and very complex. As such, shifts in funding and regional priorities can affect their status.
Again, we appreciate your continued interest in TxDOT projects and encourage you to provide us feedback on the content and structure of the Project Tracker. Once you're inside, you will see a link that will allow you to share your comments.

We see lizards scurrying around on sidewalks, buildings and just about everywhere, but have you ever stopped to wonder exactly what type of lizard they are? The two most common lizards to Florida are the green anole and the brown anole. However, do not be fooled by their similar names because these critters have their differences.
The green anole, also known as the Carolina anole, is the only anole species native to Florida. They are small lizards usually ranging from six to eight inches long – about half of which is comprised by its tail. It is also mainly an arboreal species, meaning they are primarily found living in trees or branches of trees.
The green anole's colors range from the brightest of greens to the darkest of browns, the latter of which typically indicates distress. Their diets consist mainly of small insects such as crickets and grasshoppers, but they have also been known to consume grasses as well.
While native to Cuba and the Bahamas, the brown anole has found its way to Florida in rather larger numbers. The brown anole is a small, semi-arboreal lizard, meaning it lives some of its life both in trees and on the ground. Its colors most commonly range from light gray to brown to almost black with irregular patches, spots or patterns. A very distinguishable feature of this lizard is its expandable dewlap: the flap of skin that hangs beneath the lower jaw or neck, which can be yellow to red-orange in color and is used in mating and territorial displays. Its diet is similar to that of the green anole, feeding mainly on small insects such as grasshoppers and crickets, but the brown anole is also known to eat other lizards such as the green anole.
Both lizards exhibit autonomy, or self-amputation, whereby they can sever their tail to avoid predation. The detached tail can continue to move and distract its predator. The tail can grow back to an extent.

Title: Hamburger Hijinks - part 3
Date: December 19, 2005
Summary: Steve confronts the evil burger, Beaver realises it's just a costume.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Evil Hamburger, Manager, Customer
Onomatopoeias used: "RRRRR...", "RRUH?", "RRAAR!", "MOP!", "FLIP!", "UNMASK!", "RRIP!"
"Fin" style: The evil burger.
Number of panels: 9
Panel 1
Steve: "What are we going to do, Beaver?"
Beaver: "Hmm..How about we try ignoring it and hope it goes away?"
Steve: "Ooh! Good plan!"
Evil Hamburger RRRRR's at Beaver and Steve.
Panel 2
Beaver and Steve stare at the hamburger.
Panel 3
Customer: (entering the scene) "Hi! I'd like to order a..."
Evil Hamburger RRUH?'s at the customer.
Panel 4
Off-panel Customer: (with blood splashing around) "Get it off me! Augh! My pancreas!"
Beaver: "Hmm..Well that didn't go quite as well as I'd hoped..."
Steve: "That's it! Two dead customers is one too many..."
Steve: "Hand me the mop!"
Panel 5
Steve has cornered and now MOP! MOP!'s the Evil Hamburger, who RRAAR!'s at Beaver and fends off Steve's mop.
Beaver: "Careful Steve, there's nothing more dangerous than a cornered hamburger"
Panel 6
Beaver "Wait a minute..That's not a possessed Devil Burger...It's a costume!"
Beaver: "Let's see who's really behind all this..."
Panel 7
Evil Hamburger costume FLIP!'s open to reveal an old man.
Beaver: "Why! It's Old Man McWeasel from McWeasel burgers across the road!"
McWeasel: "Bah! I was going to scare away all your customers - And I would have got away with it too if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!"
Beaver: "Hang on - That's a mask too!"
Panel 8
McWeasel is UNMASK!'ed and revealed to be the manager, who is holding two red customer service stars.
Steve: "Oh! It's the boss!"
Manager: "Yes boys, this whole thing was just a test... And you passed! You've earned these: Your customer service stars!"
Beaver: "You're not fooling us: That's another mask!"
Panel 9
Steve RRIP!'s off the manager's head.
Manager: "Ouch."
Beaver: "Um, ok that wasn't a mask. My mistake."
Fun Facts
- The 'wet floor' sign shows a guy who slipped and his head fell off!
- Interestingly enough, the evil burger's size changes between panels. It's even more interesting that, minutes before being "unmasked" the burger had been small enough to be in the hands of the customer.
- Steve doesn't mind one dead customer.
The "meddling kids" line McWeasel uses is straight from Scooby Doo where every single episode would end up with the monster turning out to be a guy under a mask who says: "I would've gotten away with it too if it werent for those meddling kids!"

Nine years ago this week, Buddy Hackett died – and a lot of laughter died with him.
Buddy Hackett (Amazon.com)
Hackett got his start as a standup comedian, performing in upstate New York's Borscht Belt nightclubs before he was even out of high school. His success there led him down to the big city, where he performed in bigger and more famous clubs, and even on Broadway. TV roles followed, with an early starring role on Stanley, one of the last live TV sitcoms. The show was also notable for featuring a young Carol Burnett as the girlfriend of Hackett's character:
Hackett's work on TV – including regular appearances on The Hollywood Squares and frequent guest spots on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson – led to movie roles. It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World put Hackett on the map, and The Love Bug brought him to an even wider audience – the Disney audience.
Buddy Hackett was best known for his comedic roles, but he wasn't afraid of playing it serious. He portrayed Lou Costello, alongside Harvey Korman as Bud Abbott, in the TV movie Bud and Lou. Though he played a comedian, the subject matter was serious – and Hackett was able to display his range.
Buddy Hackett's career was long and diverse, with roles beyond comedy and drama – big-budget musicals like The Music Man, voice work in cartoons like The Little Mermaid, and more. He leaves us with much to remember – and lots of reasons to mourn.

Farm-to-School Programs
Both schools and small farmers benefit from participation in farm-to-school initiatives. Students have access to fresh, nutritious produce, while small farmers acquire new markets. Farm-to-school programs typically integrate food services with instructional school gardens, school recycling programs, farm visits, and curriculum development to create a holistic, experiential learning environment.
Since 2000, UC SAREP has worked with the Davis Joint Unified School District to assess the district's Farm to School program. The assessments serve to consistently strengthen the program, and set a useful example for how Farm to School programs can develop and succeed.
Our most recent evaluations are available here:
Evaluation of Davis Farm to School Program 2012-2013
Evaluation of Davis Farm to School Program 2011-2012
Evaluation of Davis Farm to School Program 2010-2011
Evaluation of Davis Farm to School Program 2009 - 2010
In addition to the Davis Farm to School evaluation, SAREP has completed case studies and evaluations of various Farm to school programs including:
San Diego Unified School District Farm to School Evaluation (2012)
School Food Learning Lab in Saint Paul, Minnesota: A case study of procurement change in action
School Food Focus (FOCUS) is a national collaborative that leverages the knowledge and procurement power of large school districts to make school meals nationwide more healthful, regionally sources, and sustainably produces. This report created by SAREP analyzes the food supply and demand changes in food procurement practices, and documents the results and lessons learned from a case study in the Saint Paul, Minnesota school district.
Crunch Lunch Manual: Farm-to-School Case Study
Farm-to-School is a nationwide movement that connects local farmers who can provide fresh, seasonal produce with school food services for healthier school lunches.
New Markets for Farmers
In recent years, small- and medium-sized family farmers have been increasingly forced out of business due to a declining share of the food dollar. In response, new initiatives have been developed by community groups, small farm advocacy organizations, and school districts to increase economic opportunities for small family farmers while improving the quality of school meals. Elaborating on the concept of direct marketing, these farm-to-school projects identify school districts and other institutions that will commit to purchasing fresh produce directly from local farmers.

The planets, stars, and everything you can see are less than 5 percent of the universe. What is the other 95 percent? Dark Universe examines the invisible dark matter underlying galaxies that, together with dark energy, accounts for that other 95 percent of the universe's total energy and mass. Narrated by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Dark Universe was developed by the American Museum of Natural History, New York (www.amnh.org), in collaboration the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, and GOTO INC, Tokyo, Japan.
