Let the overreactions begin, the man has maybe one Hall worthy season and now b/c he got hot and had great defense and receivers he's a HOFer. Can we calm down w/ that silly talk? If he keeps this up a few more years maybe but he's not close to a HOFer right now- Not even in the discussion.
I'm not taking anything away from Eli, he's a very good QB now but all this elite and HOF talk is just silly.
And while superbowls are obviously the ultimate goal of every team/player each year, teams win superbowls, not players. if peoples only claim as to why eli manning should be in the hall of fame is due to 2 superbowls, that weak. he needs other credentials also. jim plunkett also has 2 superbowls, hes not in.
if eli continues to play like he did at the end of the season for the next 5-6 years consistently, he will no doubt be a HALL OF FAMER.
Eli Manning is Derek Jeter.
Peyton Manning is Alex Rodriguez.
You realize that Eli carried that whole offense right? their running game was one of the leagues worst and their defense was inconsistent. Eli is top 5 QB
1. Tom Brady
2. Aaron Rodgers
3. Drew Brees
4. Peyton Manning
5. Eli Manning
I don't care if he's a hall of famer or not. It's irrelevant to the discussion at this stage in his career b/c he's only 31. All I care about is the present and the present is where he's a two-time SB champion.

Bob Evans® Italian Sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 ounces
dried cheese tortellini
3 (14 ounce) cans
reduced sodium chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen green beans
Mmmm... I'm not a big green bean fan so i substituted frozen spinach. I didn't have chicken broth on hand so i just used a vegetable food seasoning (Vegeta) Will definately make again. Next time will add chopped carrots for more veggies.
Loved it! I only use chicken sausage, it worked wonderfully! I did add about a 1/2 tsp. basil, 1/2 tsp. oregano, sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.

This recipe is so easy and the green beans are the perfect vegetable for this soup. It keeps well for mid-week leftovers and lunches too. I lowered the fat by using chicken Italian sausage. Yum!
On a cold and snowy evening I found this delicious sausage soup. I made it with some German Smoked Sausage, added some cut up onions and garlic to the browning process, a whole package of frozen tortellini (13 oz) and a 32 oz. box of chicken soup, added the green beans and wow..it was fabulous, and easy and both my husband and I had seconds. I added this one to my recipe box and will serve it next time for company!!
Fast and easy soup! Made it to go with cheese biscuits. Turned out great and my boyfriend appreciated the warmth after working all day in the cold and wet snow!
I make basically the same soup, which I love, but I use a few handfuls of baby spinach instead of green beans and sprinkle bowls of soup w/ parmesan cheese. Delicious!
This was yummy! Perfect for a cold snowy night and so easy too. I used 3 cheese tortellini plus added a can of diced tomatoes (undrained) as well as diced onion that I browned with the sausage (hot turkey sausage). Will make again!!
Pretty good! The thing I loved the most about this soup is that it's so quick and easy to make. After making it once as written, I did agree with others that it could use a little garlic. Also, I'm not a big green bean fan, so I now omit the green beans and throw in chopped kale instead. This also adds greatly to the nutrional value of this dish!

En español l Having stomach issues? You're not alone. About 50 million Americans see the doctor for digestive diseases each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Fortunately, this is not something we have to live with, medical experts say. "While some systems in the body slow down, an increase in GI problems is not necessarily a normal part of aging," says David L. Carr-Locke, chief of digestive diseases at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York. It's just that many diseases that do affect the gastrointestinal tract develop or become more common as we age, including diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and neurological problems such as Parkinson's disease.
Sign up for the AARP Health Newsletter
"The medications we need to treat them also take a toll," says gastroenterologist Brijen J. Shah, assistant professor of gastroenterology, geriatrics and palliative medicine at the Mount Sinai Hospital. Antidepressants, pain relievers, drugs for insomnia, high blood pressure, incontinence, asthma and allergies, and even calcium and iron supplements can trigger or aggravate digestive problems. We also tend to be less active as we age, and exercise is essential for keeping the gut — and the rest of us — healthy.
Thanks to new treatments and smart lifestyle choices, there's a lot you can do to keep everything moving. Here's what you need to know:
1. Reflux
What it feels like: Heartburn, a burning, stinging sensation rising from your stomach and chest to your throat; a sour taste in your mouth or constant need to clear your throat; episodes of coughing. If these symptoms happen frequently, you may have gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
What causes it: The valve between the esophagus and the stomach doesn't work properly, allowing stomach acid to leak upward. Severe cases can damage the lining of the esophagus, putting you at risk for esophageal cancer.
The fix: Change what you eat and when you eat. Although "everyone is different" in what triggers reflux, says Carr-Locke, it's been well established that coffee, tea, chocolate, carbonated drinks, spicy foods, alcohol, dairy products and tomatoes provoke or worsen reflux, and it makes sense to avoid the worst offenders. Keep a food diary so you know what you ate before a flare-up, delete those foods from your diet for two weeks, then gradually add them back to see how your react. Meanwhile, if you smoke, stop. Eat smaller meals, and never eat within two hours of lying down. Prop the head of your bed up by 6 to 10 inches (use blocks or books under the mattress, or buy a wedge-shaped foam pillow).
For short-term relief, try antacids or histamine-2 blockers such as Zantac or Pepcid AC that block stomach acid. More severe cases may require proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid — some of which can be found over the counter, others only by prescription. "Current PPI therapy — which reduces stomach acid — is the best we've ever had," says Carr-Locke. "Many patients find they can tolerate foods they never could before." Note, however, that these medications can have serious side effects and that some experts think they are overused. If symptoms persist after two weeks, or if you vomit blood or have trouble or pain when swallowing, see your doctor.

I just tried setting up the vme0 port on a large stack of EX4200s. I assigned vme0.0 an IP address in our "legacy" Cisco network, and the port was reachable, but I presumed that packets from vme0 were getting routed back through the trunks on other interfaces in the stack via the routes found in the routing table, rather than egressing back though the vme0 port. The "legacy" and "new Juniper" networks are connected together at only one point, distant from the stack.
Since I did not see an option to set a default route on the vme0 port independently of the static routes in routing-options, I added a static route for the legacy subnet the vme0 port was on, and the whole stack went offline. (dhcpd died and dumped core as well.) So I rolled back (from the serial console) and all is OK. I am stiil looking through the logs trying to figure out what happened, most likely a spanning tree issue.
I have some general questions:
1) Do I have to consider spanning tree when attaching a vme or me interface to a network, i.e. does it send out BPDUs?
2) Do I have to consider routing issues on vme or me interfaces? I have my OSPF config set to:
export export-edgeroutes;
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface vlan.0 {
vlan {
default {
l3-interface vlan.0;
I.e. with the vme / me interface uncommitted to a VLAN, will it join the default vlan and start participating in OSPF?
3) Do vme0 and me0 basically behave identically to with respect to the above two questions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi W, I hope that you already know that but just to be sure,
The ME and VME interfaces are Out-of-Band interfaces which means that you cannot route packets from a host conncted on an other interface of the switch or via a "trunk" of this switch.
You can only route packet "going to / comming to" the local routing engine.
I am not sure That this is your main problem but I think it could be.
Just tell me If you knew this point
I know the me and vme interfaces are out of band, but how do they get their default route? They have to either get it by listening to a dynamic protocol or via a static in the routing-options section, right?
Of course you need some route to be able to go to the management site via the ME or VME interfaces.
In a regular config you will use a static route but you can also use a routing protocol.
In case you use a routing protocol you must take care not to interact with your IGP use in your production network.
So the best config would use a stic route without redistributing it in a routing protocol, to be sure not to disturb your production network.
The typical statement would be this kind:
User@Switch# show routing-options
static {
route 0.0.0.0/0 {
next-hop 192.168.0.254;
I know where you're going with this (I assume).. What you're looking for is to have your normal routing table default route a long with default route for teh VME/ME interfaces.. Simply put, not possible.
If you code a default route for the VME it will over-ride any dynamically learned from a routing protocol.. I have put in a feature request with Juniper to allow this interface to be put into a VRF to allow for multiple routing tables.. Why this feature has never been thought of is beyond me..
To do this on any other series of platform you have to create a logical-router and put that interface into it.. As EX series don't support logical-routers at this time it's not possible to do so..
We're a Cisco shop reviewing EX devices and require the feature stated above (among many other), unfortunately since the platform doesn't have it we can't deploy EX devices as of now.
01-15-2010 05:08 PM - edited 01-15-2010 05:11 PM
That's the answer I was looking for - it does seem odd that the feature is missing. Most other "management ports" attempt to be Out-Of-Band and have their IP settings separate from the rest of the config. Otherwise it's "Out of Band Sort-Of".
I don't have any problem with in-band management in my shop, I only live a 10-minute drive away from all my devices, and I never make mistakes working from home, ha ha ha. But I was very impressed that I could bring down my backbone by misconfiguring the vme interface.
I guess the market for used RS232 terminal servers has to be kept alive somehow.
Haha, totally understand what you are saying.
The company I work for (financial firm) has a huge Cisco presence and Juniper is barking to get in the door. However everytime we review their platforms they just don't seem to have the features needed to replace a Cisco box in our shop. It's not like we're doing anything crazy, it's just that Cisco has had many more years of experience in the enterprise environments so they've created all the tweak features needed. We mostly use Catalyst 6500 platform, while it doesn't do everything the best, it is the industry standard swiss army knife switching platform simply put as it can do about anything you can think of.
Juniper has been in many times asking how they can differentiate themselves from Cisco with their switching platforms.. I keep telling them "BE CISCO FIRST" then you can differentiate. What good to me is a box that can do features X, Y, Z when features A, B, and C are the ones that are mandatorily required (out of band mgmt being one) yet you don't have...
Rather frustrating.. I keep asing for features, but its like barking up a tree at times..
Hi all,
I don't understand what your talking about:
Why do you want to use a default route on the WME port?
Why don't you use a precise Static route to go to the management site ?
In case you were able to achieve this on other JUNIPER platforms with "logical-router" you must know that you can (on EX platform) separate your routing tables with "vitual-router, routing-instance type".
Realy I don't understand where you're stucked !
Here is an example of a routing table with default route received via OSPF and out-of-band management (with a precise route) at the same time working OK:
User@EX3200> show route
inet.0: 7 destinations, 7 routes (7 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both
0.0.0.0/0 *[OSPF/150] 00:00:12, metric 0, tag 0
> to 10.0.0.2 via ge-0/0/0.0
10.0.0.0/30 *[Direct/0] 2d 12:58:02
> via ge-0/0/0.0
10.0.0.1/32 *[Local/0] 2d 12:58:02
Local via ge-0/0/0.0
10.20.0.0/16 *[Direct/0] 2d 17:20:55
> via me0.0
10.20.0.17/32 *[Local/0] 2d 17:20:55
Local via me0.0
10.50.0.0/16 *[Static/5] 00:06:40
> to 10.20.0.254 via me0.0
22.214.171.124/32 *[OSPF/10] 2d 12:58:03, metric 1
Try putting the VME interface in a VRF.. When you commit it, it will tell you that it is unsupported.. This is what we're speaking of. It is this way among all JUNOS platforms. You can get around this with platforms that support logical routers though.
He just wants to have two routing tables. As the VME shoudl be fully out of band, it should have a seperate routing table for that interface. However it is not possible. The VME and all other interfaces share the same routing-table by default, thus causing the issues.
Also to further clarify your question.. In our network we have several network management segments. Too many to want to individually static route for, so we just do the supernet route out the VME port. However since these switches participate in our routing-domain they get the more specific subnet routes from the routing protocol.
So what happens is that your request comes in via the VME interface, but return traffic uses in-band interfaces due to the better route being in the table..
Not all of us have a single network management segment.. My company has about 25 subnets spread across the globe. this is where this feature is important.

Encampments' remains to be transported to JPPM lab
By AMANDA SCOTT
Staff writer
American Indian artifacts dated between 2000 B.C. and A.D. 50 were discovered at the site of the new Dunkirk Park & Ride during a recent excavation.
"The sites were found to contain well-preserved and undisturbed remains of two small Native American encampments that were occupied mostly between 2000 B.C. and A.D. 50 (Late Archaic — Early Woodland)," a Maryland Transit Administration brochure about the Dunkirk archeological investigation states.
MTA conducts various studies, including engineering, scientific, environmental, archeological and historical, as part of its project planning process, according to the MTA brochure. During a 2008 planning study for the Dunkirk Park & Ride, located behind the Dunkirk Medical Center on Town Center Boulevard, MTA discovered the two Native American sites.
In 2012, the brochure states, MTA obtained help from McCormick Taylor Engineers and Planners of Baltimore, with the assistance of Elizabeth Anderson Comer/Archaeology, to conduct "intensive" archaeological excavations of the two sites.
The sites were excavated from September to December 2012.
Both sites were on natural terraces at the southern base of a small hill that overlooked a small stream, which would have attracted the Native Americans to that location, the brochure explains.
The Maryland Historical Trust determined the sites were eligible for the National Register of Historic Places "because of the sites' excellent preservation and their ability to provide significant new information about Native American life in Calvert County before the arrival of European settler," according to the brochures.
Calvert County Historic Preservation Planner Kirsti Uunila said what's unique about the finding "is it's the only one that has the house patterns. We have not found those before. That was brand new."
On the site, according to the brochure, a partial ring of decayed support posts of a former house structure was uncovered, outlining a 3.5-by-1.85-meter structure with a hearth located at one end.
Principal investigator Barbara Silber with McCormick Taylor said "the house was very interesting because these are very often features that are hard to see. It's a connect-the-dot situation. … It sort of gives us a glimpse into the domestic life of the Native American groups that used to live there."
Based on the evidence, Uunila said the archeologists were able to determine the house, and several sections of the it, was rebuilt numerous times and was occupied throughout several seasons.
The two sites were repeatedly visited by American Indians, the brochure explains. "Based on recovered artifact types and the remains of living surfaces, archeologists have concluded that the sites functioned as small seasonal base camps," it states.
Uunila said the other "unusual" thing was "the artifacts they saw were a number of worn-out tools at that site, so it seems that they were using the local cobbles from the stream to refresh their tools while they were doing other things there."
Several carefully prepared and cared-for tools, such as projectile points, were recovered, though most of the tools found were made quickly and discarded after a few instances of use, according to the brochure.
In addition to the multitude of worn points from tools, the archeologists also found more than 570 pieces of ceramic at one of the sites. Most of the ceramic, the brochure states, is from the Early Woodland era, which indicates the site's main occupation occurred between 900 and 300 B.C.
"Our analysis has started to show us … the two sites are very different," Silber said. "Based on the art, we can see that there are two different things going on. One, we have a lot of worn tools, and the other, a lot of ceramic. So, it could tell us they were two different activity areas. The emphasis of what's going on is very different."
The recovered artifacts currently are being analyzed, catalogued, documented and re-housed. Once that is completed, she said, they will be transferred to the Maryland Archeological Conservation Laboratory at Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum in St. Leonard.

|Pura Ulun Danu Bratan
I have skeptical feeling when I planned the family trip to Bali. Although those were many years ago, the 2002 and 2005 terrorists' attack on the island are something many people still talk and worry about. But all these fear dissipated when we visited the island. The captivating scenery, friendly people, unique temples and good food have made us forgot Bali's sorrow past. We never regret that we have visited the "The Land of the Gods".
|Pura Luhur Uluwatu
|Guardian Statue
|Pura Tanah Lot
I have earlier engaged a local Balinese driver through the net to bring us around the island. It was definitely a great decision as we conveniently got to places that I planned (and unplanned) for. He doubled up as a guide and informed us on the potential risks and scams to look out for. Do send me an email if you are visiting Bali and want his contact.
|Sunset at Tanah Lot
|Egg Painting
|Pura Taman Ayun
I am a fan of temples and have churned a list of them in the "must visit" column. The Balinese call their temples as "Pura". As a first time visitor, I was eager to visit all the principal puras. My initial list consisted of Pura Luhur Uluwatu, Pura Taman Ayun, Pura Tanah Lot, Pura Ulun Danu Beratan and Besakih Temple Complex. The last item was eventually replaced by Pura Tirta Empul due to the warning by my driver. He warned me that the local villagers at Besakih are notorious for extorting money from tourists and advised me to change my destination. The driver's warning confirmed the bad reviews that I have read up in the net. Known as the "Mother Temple of Bali", it was about 2000 years old and built on the slope of the volcanic Mount Agung. It offers stunning view and great cultural values. But the local villagers bad attitudes have turned off many potential visitors. Me included. I will surely visit the place in the future if the situation improves.
|Candi Bentar (Split Gate)
|Rice Terraces
|Mount Batur
Many people have actually thought Bali as just a great beach resort. I readily beg to differ. Our journey in the island have brought us new horizon of thoughts. The island is called the "Land of the Gods" for good reasons. Almost all household we passed by have a private shrine. Each of them is defined by a split gate (candi bentar) flanked by two ferocious (sometimes humorous) guardian statues. The wall details are intricately designed by fine and beautiful artworks. There are supposedly to be well over 200 000 temples in Bali! We were behold by the majestic Mount Agung and still active Volcano Mount Batur as we drove past beautiful rice terraces and bountiful fruits and coffee plantations. My wife and daughter were always fascinated by the life-like stone and wooden carvings of godly beings and Buddhas that line the roads and populate the front yards of the houses. The cultural performance of the Kecak, Barong and Legong dance have never fail to amaze us (although my wife was a bit disturbed by the "cak" chant during the Kecak performance :-p)
|Kecak Dance
|Barong Dance
|Bountiful Fruits On Sale
My main focus would always be the Puras. Always accompanied by different tiers of the unique Meru, each Pura has a different setting and story to narrate. Uluwatu stands proudly on a clifftop, overlooking and guarding the awesome Indian Ocean. Situated at the shoreline, Tanah Lot seems to conjure a magical boundary to prevent the aggressive demonic waves from invading the land. Taman Ayun emitting an aura of majestic presence, reminding people of their royal past. Ulun Danu Bratan poses beautifully at Lake Bratan, just like the Goddess Ida Batara Dewi Ulun Danu that it is devoted to. Many people from all round the globe come to Tirta Empul just to bath in it's holy water. It is believed the holy water helps to cleanse them from all sickness and bad fortune.
Bali is indeed a worthy place for relaxation and more importantly, cultural learning. But commercial development and expansion have taken it's toll on it's natural beauty. Many rice terraces and fruits plantation have made way for new hotels and resorts. I really hope these will not reach a level of no return.
We will surely be back. We love Bali :-)!

Panic! at the Disco Tickets - Band History
Dancing, sweating, quirks, humor and lingo. Is Panic! At the Disco a band or a novelty act? With all the changes in style and lineup, they'd probably say a little bit of both.
Yes, Panic! Members love to dance. In fact, these guys turn the level of energy up to 10 any time they enter a room, with singer Brendon Urie just recently telling the media that he's finally coming out of his shell. Hard to believe considering this is one of the guys who has been writing, recording and performing since its members were in high school.
You know them from top ten lead single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," and a debut album, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" eventually certified double platinum. Or maybe you've heard of their hit singles like "Nine in the Afternoon" or "New Perspective."
In 2012, the band bolstered itself back to a three-piece outfit (Urie, Spencer Smith and bassist Dallon Weekes) and released its fourth studio album, "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!" in 2013. It was followed on May 6, 2014 by the "Nicotine EP," which contained two previously unreleased songs.
Though the band has been out on tour, they've been playing with Dan Pawlovich of the band Valencia as a fill-in for Smith. Shortly before Panic! At the Disco began its first full tour in support of their latest album, Smith penned an open letter to fans regarding his use of alcohol and prescription medications. Urie then posted on the band's website that "It's become evident Spencer still needs more time to take care of himself. I can't expect him to be fighting addiction one minute and be fully immersed in a national tour the next. With that said, the tour will continue without Spencer while he is away getting the help he needs."
Best Holiday Songs by Pop-Punk Bands
"Last Christmas" Jimmy Eat World Jimmy Eat World does a bang-up job covering this 1984 Wham! classic. As Jim Adkins sad and melodic voice sings, "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, the very next day you gave it away," you can't help but wonder if he should just stay single for a while. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvjiZPx8yA4…Read more

Mathis rises to the podium
20 year old Marcel Mathis produced the run of his life in the second run in the World Cup Giant Slalom in Bansko, Bulgaria. In the first World Cup Giant Slalom since Adelboden on January 9, Mathis stormed down the second run to grab the lead and then let the rest attack his combined time. Mathis had only arrived in the resort late the night before fresh from coming second in the Europa Cup Giant Slalom in Oberjoch. While Marcel Hirschere won the race ahead of Max Blardone, Aksel Lund Svindal also took fourth for the HEAD World Cup Rebels as Ted Ligety crashed on the second run after leading.
Austrian HEAD World Cup rebel Marcel Mathis is a racer to watch. Just sixteen days before the Bansko race he had wrapped up the Austrian Junior Giant Slalom title and has also been making great strides forward in the Europa Cup series. Starting 35 in the race, Mathis just made the second run in 26th spot. Yet the way he powered down the second run gave the rest of the field a lot to think of. No one would match his second run time and it took until Blardone came down for him to be dislodged from the lead overall.
Mathis grinned from ear to ear as the following racers passed him on their way out of the finish area. As some of the big names in the sport crashed out Mathis admitted that he had been more nervous on the course than he had watching the top racers coming down. After the race he added "It's great to be on the podium for the first time, I'm trying hard, I have worked hard the whole year. It's just great to be on the podium."
With the weather playing its trump card again with cold and wind, the course did get the thumbs up from Ligety: "It's a cool hill," Ligety said. "It's pretty technical and never really super flat, and not a really super steep hill either. It's a good hill where...you can generate some speed." And this was from the man who had been leading after the first run before making a mistake in the compression and hiking before making the finish in 27th spot. A cut to the face will be his memory of Bansko in 2012.

Computational optimization and algorithms. Recent applications I have looked at include: self-assembling DNA nanostructures, VLSI chip layout, and unit rectangle visibility graphs.
I am always struck by the number of Saint Michael's students who participate in volunteer activities to make a difference both locally and globally, and I really appreciate the strong sense of community. My classes are small, so I am able to get to know my students well. We are able to have events, such as class dinners, that would not be possible at a larger institution. There also are many independent study and student research opportunities available that might not be possible at a larger institution. In my five first years at Saint Michael's I have been able to work with 10 students on projects beyond the scope of an ordinary class.
My students are smart, hardworking, and friendly. I am always impressed, not just by their performance in my classes (which is very good), but by the wide range of their interests beyond the field of computer science.
I really enjoy all of my classes, but if pressed to pick a favorite I would say Data Structures and Algorithms, which is closely tied to my area of research.
My research interests are in my areas of expertise: Computational optimization and algorithms. Recent applications I have looked at include: self-assembling DNA nanostructures, VLSI chip layout, and unit rectangle visibility graphs.
Self Assembly Design Strategies
I developed a Java program for addressing various micro-electronics industry computer chip-layout programs such as floor-planning and automating small problematic configurations (2007). I am also co-author of the journal article, "Force-directed floorplanning with flexible blocks" (Congressus Numerantium, 2006).
I am one of three professors who earned Saint Michael's College a $578,500 grant from the National Science Foundation. The grant enables Saint Michael's to provide 20 scholarships in math and computer science.

Tracy Young :: The (M)DNA of "Genesis"
It's been another landmark year for superstar DJ Tracy Young. Depending on how you look at it, her annual, extra special New Year's Day party "Genesis" - still one of the hottest tickets of the season, could signal the close, or the incredible start for the music industry's top female DJ/remix producer. "I'm looking forward to 2013," she says. "I have a lot going on next year." Not that she has been sitting on her laurels during 2012 since Madonna has been keeping her aerobically charged...literally!
But more on Tracy and Madonna later. Right now Young has "Genesis" on her mind and is preparing to take her audience on yet another musical journey at South Beach's landmark destination Mansion.
This year is extra special, as it marks the 10th anniversary of the party's conception - marking the celebration as both thrilling and bittersweet. Young conceived of the New Year's spectacular 10 years ago with her friend and club promoter Vito Abate. His untimely passing almost convinced Young to discontinue "Genesis" altogether, but the thought of disappointing the legendary club promoter, reignited her. She found a new inspiration to keep the annual event on the calendar. "I could hear Vito telling me from heaven," she says, he said: "If you stop this party...I'll break your knee caps!" So "Genesis" must go on!
10 Year Re-"Genesis"!
For many on the club-party circuit "Genesis" has become a "must have" ticket. Over the years Young has mixed things up just to keep her guests and international followers on their toes. One New Year's Day "Genesis" hit multiple time zones when Tracy wrapped her set in Miami then hopped on a jet to Vegas, to launch into a new venue alongside pop-goddess Kelly Rowland. "That took a lot out of me," she jovially reminded herself. "I couldn't believe that at the end of that set I'd been up for more than 14 hours straight!"
She's since learned her lesson, but not necessarily slowed her pace. "My idea [this year] is to bring it back to basics - keep it simple." Young has also taken into account what her fans look for as the circuit party dynamic changes with each generation of nightcrawlers taking over the scene. "I like keeping it interesting," she says having adding live performances or special guest appearances in the past, "but sometimes all the crowd wants is to hear me spin. They just want the music - it's enough for them."
Tracy has always championed the ladies of the dance anthems and last year treated her audience to premiere hits with performances from Deborah Cox. "We'd worked on Deborah's new single and wanted a really great way to introduce it." Young's version of Cox's "If It Wasn't For Love" was a favorite on the club circuit, though perhaps it was overshadowed by her phenomenal turn on Britney Spears' 2011 hit single "Hold It Against Me." Nicki Minaj had actually closed the New Year at Mansion, just as Tracy took to the turntables, for an incredible double-billing that elated the South Beach's crowd.
"I don't know if we'll have a live performer this year at 'Genesis'," she cryptically admitted, "but you never know." She is promising to deliver yet another spectacle. "I'd like to keep it music-focused," she says. "I've had amazing light shows, great performers, (dancers hanging in the air) but 'Genesis' is about the crowd. They feed me and I give it right back."
So this year's "Genesis" will be not only appropriately celebrate the life and love of a great friend - "'Genesis' meant as much to Vito as it did to me." - it will begin the next 10 years of Young's club dominance.

This panorama of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium at Florida Field was taken by James Blakeway during a Florida Gators football game. Known as Florida Field for 59 years, in 1989 it was renamed in honor of citrus grower and major school supporter Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. Nicknamed "The Swamp", it holds 88,548 seats and has a current streak of over 116 consecutive sellouts. The stadium lives up to its haunting nickname with temperatures reaching a humid 100 degrees. It has been ranked the #1 toughest place to play. Gators football has seven SEC conference titles, two national titles, and over 628 all-time wins. The university, founded in 1853 in Gainesville, Florida, has over 51,000 students.

Oberacker's squeeze bunt in the fifth gave TTU a 4-3 lead as Austin Wulf came in to score from third.
Tennessee Tech extended its lead to 6-3 in the sixth on RBI singles by Chad Hayes and Wulf.
In the bottom half of the sixth, the Bucs cut the Golden Eagle lead to 6-5 after an RBI single by Green and a sac fly to left by catcher Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.).
TTU got a run back in the top of the seventh as A.J. Kirby-Jones crushed a solo home run to right center to make the score 7-5.
Hoilman answered in the eighth cutting the Tennessee Tech lead to 7-6 as he crushed his 17th home run of the season well over the fence in center. The home run gave Hoilman 175 career RBI which ties Blake Church for the school record.
The Bucs were down to their last out in the ninth when sophomore Garrett May (
Neither team could scratch across a run until the 13th inning as the Buccaneers loaded the bases with two outs for Gonzalez. Gonzalez roped a 3-2 fastball into the gap in right center scoring Green to win the game.

jackson sells an auto darkening helmet specifically for cold weather. It's different from their "normal autodarken" helmets. My NexGen is only "rated" by Jackson for somewhere in the 25 degree F neighborhood for the bottom end.

But I also don't think their extreme cold auto darkening lens is rated for sub zero if I remember right.

How do you deal with the inside fogging up? I've tried antifog spray but then the fog just turns to moisture on the lens.

Think you've got what it takes to impress Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine? Auditions for season 2 NBC's singing competition program The Voice are coming to Nashville's Municipal Auditorium on July 29 and 30.
But don't just plan to line up on 4th Avenue next weekend: all interested in auditioning must first register online at www.nbc.com/the-voice/about/casting/. All applicants must be at least 16 years old and a U.S. resident. Once registered, you'll receive an "Artist Audition Pass" with an assigned day and time to show up.
Connecticut singer Javier Colon took first place in the inaugural season, which wrapped last month. Season 2 is scheduled to begin this winter.

When we decided to make surfboards in 1996, we wanted stronger boards with no decrease in performance. "Causing no unnecessary harm" has always been a business goal of ours, so these boards also had to minimize the use of toxic and nonrenewable materials. We were committed to not building "pop-out" boards, because to do so destroys the relationship between surfer and shaper, and because pop-outs keep board design from progressing. We weren't out to revolutionize the surf industry; just break a few materials and process paradigms.
We've spent years studying and testing materials. Thousands of test panels have been stressed, compressed, crushed and snapped. At first the panels broke in series – one component would break and then another, until the entire panel would fail. After a few months we got all the components to break at once, but at a very high load. We started to get excited; we had doubled the panel's strength through a synergy of materials with no increase in weight. The search for the best combination of materials is never ending, and we continue to evolve our construction methods as new materials become available.
The Foam
Since 1999 we've used extruded polystyrene, which is similar to the foam used in beverage and fast-food containers (Styrofoam®). This foam contains no VOCs (volatile organic compounds), a source of air pollution. Extruded means the material is forced through a small opening, like toothpaste is extruded from a tube. This gives the foam directional properties similar to wood or a honeycomb. As such, the foam has a constant density throughout.
The most common complaint about epoxy boards in the past is that they didn't flex. However, we've found that they can be engineered to flex as much or as little as you want them to, depending on how you glass them. Our stock boards tend to provide a happy medium of weight-to-durability, so the average surfer will be able to keep his favorite board for a long time. A lighter weight board might flex more, but will be less durable. For those surfers who can really tell the difference, we make more flexible boards that are still tougher than the industry standard.
The higher compression strength of extruded foam means a stronger core to resist the downward force of the outer shell under a load. Lighter than average foam allows us to put more layers of fiberglass in the outer shell. This increases strength and resistance to breaking and buckling. We've built a state-of-the-art glassing facility, and worked carefully with materials manufacturers, to ensure the best craftsmanship and perfect resin-to-glass ratio for max strength and minimal waste. The entire process is done in Ventura, CA, and complies with the strict environmental laws of the USA.
The stringer is the backbone of a board; a board without a stringer is like a body without a spine. You can add stiffness by making the skin or shell stronger (as is done with sailboards) but then you lose flex and the board feels dead. Too much flex, especially on a longboard, and the board feels slow and mushy. A board with the proper ability to flex should have a certain timbre that feels alive. All the components of a surfboard have to work together for proper rigidity, flex and strength.
Stringers contribute to a board's strength by creating an I-beam within the foam/cloth/resin composite. In our stock boards, we use renewable woods with a high strength-to-weight ratio. This allows us to use laminated stringers that are stronger than single-ply, especially in the critical areas of the nose rocker. Because each size and style of surfboard has different strength and flex requirements, we use different stringer arrangements. A laminated stringer 1/8" to 3/8" wide is standard; the specifics vary depending on the board.
A surfboard will buckle or break first on the side that's hit (compression side). The industry-standard shortboard – with two layers of 4-oz. E cloth on the deck and one layer on the bottom – is only as strong as its weakest side. It will easily snap if hit by the lip. For reliable strength, a board needs more than one layer of glass on the bottom.
Both the type and weight of fiberglass cloth used affect a board's strength. Warp glass has heavier fibers woven in one direction of the cloth. When oriented along the length of the board, it adds stiffness and strength, eliminating the need for a heavier, balanced-weave cloth. Two layers of 4-oz. warp is the minimum amount of fiberglass you'll find on any one side of our boards.
Epoxy Resin
In the '70s and '80s, epoxy boards gained a bad reputation because often the wrong formulation of resin was used, and there was an unbalanced marriage of the various components. Most of these epoxy boards were also built without stringers. Resin technology has progressed since then, and the epoxies today are far superior.
There are thousands of different formulations of epoxy resin, depending on the intended use. The resin we use is blended to balance tensile strength, flex, hardness, impact strength and nontoxicity. It is about 2.5 times stronger than polyester resin and 300% tougher. This is important for ding resistance and durability over time.
Some epoxy laminators use polyester resin for the hot coat to save labor and material costs. But the two dissimilar materials often bond poorly, meaning the polyester hot coat will eventually chip off of the epoxy-laminated glass underneath. To prevent this, our boards are 100% epoxy for maximum strength and durability.
We use a UV inhibitor in our epoxy, which can give the board a slight purple tint when viewed indoors in certain lighting conditions. But outdoors the board remains an eye-blinding white. This is not to say they will never yellow, as any board left in the sun over time will see the effects of UV exposure.
We offer removable fin systems on all our boards. The strength, versatility, interchangeability and performance are vastly superior to glass-ons. Most of our boards can be built as a thruster, twin fin, quad or 5-fin on demand. If we don't feel it is an appropriate marriage of fin set-up and shape, we will advise you on alternatives.
We offer both quad and 5-fin options on many of our boards. The 5-fin is sort of a mix between a single fin and a thruster. (Glide AND drive.) Usually better suited to front-footed surfers, the 5-fin combines a V-bottom with deep hourglass-shaped double concaves within the fin area. This helps to efficiently organize the flow of water through the tail and has other advantages as well. Fin drag is reduced, resulting in easier paddling and faster trim speed at the take-off. It is quick and lively rail-to-rail, and has great projection and flow through turns. The 5-fin can be a little stiff at slow speeds, but has a faster top end and more drive than a thruster.
The quad fin is a mix between a twin-fin and a thruster. Imagine cutting the center fin of a thruster in half and putting it out on the rails behind the lead fins so they can provide drive and hold, instead of just dragging in the center. Since the trailers are farther forward, the board becomes looser as well. A quad will generally surf faster than a thruster and won't lose as much speed in turns. Quads are usually best for back-footed surfers, but many folks can adapt to them.

1 (16 ounce) container
sour cream
cucumber, peeled, grated and squeezed as dry as possible
1 cup
fresh dill, chopped
1/4 cup
lemon juice, or to taste
1 teaspoon
salt, or to taste
I had a couple different get-togethers today, and knowing I couldn't be in any control of the earlier one and knowing it would be full of calories, when I was asked to bring something for the later one, I went on a search for a good low calorie veggie dip. I ran into this one and it looked to be right up my alley. I have to say I enjoyed it very much. I only made a couple minor changes. I used fat free sour cream, and added some dried thyme and some black pepper. It was delicious, and after taking my kids to a carnival where my only choices for dinner were full of calories, it was nice to be able to take something healthy to my other get-together. The only thing I would have done differently if I had had it on hand at the time is instead of regular black pepper, I would have used freshly ground black pepper. Very good recipe. Thank you.
It's OK; but it is just an Americanized version of the Greek Tzatziki - which uses Greek Yogurt, cucumber (Peeled, seeded and finely chopped), garlic, dill, and a tad of XVOO.

What a wonderful way to use dill and cucumbers from the garden! I chose this recipe because I did not have Greek yogurt on hand and wanted a sauce that could pass as tzatziki. I would definitely recommend this as a substitute. I added a small bit of olive oil mayo to the mixture, just to add thickness. UPDATE: Today I did not have any lemon juice on hand. If you find yourself in this situation, use vinegar as a substitute. However, do not use the full amount. Just add until the dip tastes right. I don't even know how much I added. Also, green onions make a nice addition.
I made this dip last minute to go along with my salmon with lemon and dill (I was a little nervous my company would find the salmon bland). It was super easy and came out great after sitting in the fridge for about an hour. Great complement to the fish I'll most likely serve it on the side anytime I have salmon.
Excellent recipe. I made this for work and 2 people asked me for the recipe and 3 people can't stop talking about it. Instead of grating and extracting the juice, I seeded the cucumber and chopped the cucumber into small pieces. This way, you could still taste the cucumber. It is a very refreshing dip!!
I had never made a dip with grated cucumber, but that is a wonderful tip. I salted the grated cucumber and let it drain for a few minutes in a colander, then squeezed it dry.
I made this dip for an office party, and ALL the ladies loved it. One comment was "I've never tasted anything so fresh and light!" Delicious recipe and perfect for a summer snack:)
This dip is excellent. I needed a dip for a crudite platter I made, and I thought about buying a dip, then I found this recipe and thought I'd try it. I'm so glad I did because people RAVED about it. People said, "it tastes so fresh". It's so light, it's perfect for the warm weather. I'll definately make this again. Oh, I didn't add nearly that much lemon juice, I added just a squeeze.

If you have heart disease, you may be on medications and a special diet or exercise program to keep your condition under control. But there's another tool your cardiologist can use to make sure your heart stays healthy: measuring your ejection fraction. Why is this important? Robert Zawadski's story makes it clear.
On Christmas Day 2004, as he and his family were enjoying their holiday meal, 67–year-old Robert Zawadski took a punch to the chest that turned out to be his best Christmas present ever. It was his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) firing off a jolt of electricity, because his heart was racing nearly 300 beats per minute.
If it hadn't fired, he would probably have died there at the dinner table. And he hadn't even realized anything was going wrong!
Why did Robert have an ICD? Because after open-heart surgery in the '90s, an echocardiogram showed his cardiologist, Zosimo Adefuin, MD, that Robert had a low ejection fraction.
What on Earth is an Ejection Fraction?
It's not as complicated as it sounds. Here's how it works: The two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) receive blood coming in from the body. The two lower chambers (ventricles) pump blood out of the heart. The right ventricle pumps the blood through the lungs for a fresh load of oxygen, then on to the left ventricle. The left ventricle pumps the blood back out to the body: It ejects the blood from the heart.
At least, it ejects most of the blood. There is always some blood left, waiting to go out in the next beat. What's important to know is how much of the blood is successfully ejected each time.
"A healthy heart pumps out at least 55% of the blood with each beat," explains Dr. Adefuin. "If your left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) starts falling below 55%, your heart is not pumping effectively."
In 1999, in the wake of his heart attack and surgery, Robert's LVEF measured about 20%. That's why Dr. Adefuin sent Robert to the Electrophysiology Lab at Bridgeport Hospital for high-tech testing of the electrical circuits of his heart. The results showed that Robert's heart had a tendency toward periods of rapid, potentially dangerous rhythms. So the ICD was implanted to protect him, just in case his heart rhythm ever acted up. And for years, Robert's heart behaved properly.
Then came that shocking Christmas present!
Robert knew immediately what had happened. A few minutes after the ICD discharge, he felt fine, so he finished his dinner and enjoyed Christmas with his family. A few days later, he went to Bridgeport Hospital's Pacemaker-Defibrillator Clinic for a checkup.
"We can communicate with the computer in his ICD, using the computer in our defibrillator programmer," explains Meredith Heyde, APRN, a nurse practitioner with specialized training in evaluating pacemaker and defibrillator devices. His ICD, which keeps a log of all events, had recorded not only this firing, but also another one two weeks earlier, while Robert was asleep, which didn't even wake him up. The defibrillator that had been lying quietly in his upper chest for five years had twice been his Christmas angel.
What can those with heart disease take away from Robert Zawadski's story? Understand the importance of ejection fractions, and ask your cardiologist how your LVEF stacks up and whether an ICD would be helpful in protecting your heart. It can be the difference between life and death.

Does a 19 year old give good blowjobs? When her name is Autumn Skye she does. Autumn loves the kind of long, strong cocks that throb in her mouth, so we hooked her up with something she could really wrap her lips around. Brunettes always suck cock a little differently than other girls. They go at it with the same concentration as if they were studying for a college exam. Autumn Skye doesn\'t take her eyes off the cock and her lips don\'t go far either. She holds onto his cock with one hand while she runs her lips up and down his shaft and then shoves his cock down her throat with a \\'no hands\\' blowjob. He leaves her with a milk mustache to remember him by while she licks his salty sperm off her top lip.
