Price for a Beer
3/25/15: The Orlando Magic may not be winning too many games this season, but in the NBA, that is not really a bad thing. No, the Magic will not have a shot at getting the first overall pick, but they can get a nice rookie or make a trade with whatever lottery pick they end up with. The current question is what to do with Tobias Harris. He does not seem to want to be in Orlando and the team seems to play better without him. There is a good chance he goes where he wants to be, and that is the New York Knicks. That may be the best thing for the Magic going forward anyhow.
3/18/15: There are still a lot of hard feeling in Orlando about Shaquille O'Neal. Granted, Shaq is the greatest player to ever put on a Magic jersey and led the team to the NBA Finals back in the 1990's. However, Shaq left The City Beautiful to chase money and rings in Los Angeles (and got both). That has never been forgiven by many Magic fans. The team does not seem to care about that and announced that they are inducting Shaq into the Orlando Magic Hall of Fame. He joins the Magic's first ever draft pick, Nick Anderson and founder Pat Williams.
3/11/15: The Orlando Magic are got their first taste of competition last Sunday when the Orlando City Soccer Club Lions opened play in Major League Soccer. That means that Orlando now has two top-tier professional league teams to choose from, and the Magic have not given fans much to get excited about for over three years now. The next big question facing the team is who will be the permanent head coach. Interim coach Joe Borrego has done a decent job in a small sample size by stressing defense. However, Brian Shaw is now available after being fired by the Denver Nuggets and Tom Thibodeau of the Chicago Bulls may be available in a few months.
3/4/15: Interim Magic head coach James Borrego has been given the green light to finish out the season as head coach, which was pretty much expected. JB has the team playing well, and playing defense. The team recorded their first three game winning streak in over a year - though their competition was New Orleans, New York and Philadelphia. It is doubtful that Borrego is the head coach next season. Derrick Rose's injury in Chicago will hurt the Bulls, and that may be the end of head coach Tom Thibodeau's time in the Windy City - but could be a potential head coach in Orlando next season.
2/25/15: This season's trade deadline was the busiest in the last 25 years with 39 NBA players being moved to new locations. The Orlando Magic, who are languishing near the bottom of the weaker Eastern Conference sat this one out, though. There was speculation that the team may move Tobias Harris who will be a restricted free agent after this season and has said that he wants to play in New York. The Magic holding on to him may mean that they will look into matching an offer that Harris may get after the season is over, and be able to keep him for at least another year.
2/18/15: The Orlando Magic are saying that they learned their lesson from losing Dwight Howard about three years ago. Without their superstar, the team was terrible and fell to the basement of the standings. The team they are constructing now is far less dependent upon a single player, which makes sense in theory. It is working out in practice as well, though not for the Magic. The Atlanta Hawks are the ones reaping the rewards right now. As for the Magic, they still need some help. They are shopping third year power forward Andrew Nicholson, who has fallen out of the rotation after a promising rookie season two years ago.
2/11/15: As speculated and expected, the Orlando Magic fired head coach Jacques Vaughn last week. The Magic immediately went into rebuilding mode about three years ago when they traded away their franchise player, Dwight Howard. Since then, they have tried to emulate the San Antonio Spurs model, even going so far as to hire a GM and head coach from the Spurs organization. Unfortunately, that has failed to work out so far and Orlando has regressed this season. At the time of Vaughn's firing, the Magic had lost 10 straight games and had allowed over 100 points for 15 games in a row. Assistant coach James Borrego is expected to be the intirim head coach.
2/5/15: A funny thing happens when a team is two and a half years into a rebuild but not showing improvement. The rumbling from the fans and media gets louder to replace the men in charge. Orlando is in that spot right now thanks to a seven game losing streak and having given up over 100 points in 11 straight games. The Magic are not guaranteeing that head coach Jacques Vaughn will survive the season, and many around the city believe that he will be not be back for a fourth season. Though the Magic should keep their eye on Chicago in the event that the Bulls let head coach Tom Thibodeau go as he would be an excellent replacement.
1/28/15: Bear in mind that this is simply a rumor and not directly from the horse's mouth, but Tobias Harris wants to win a championship with the New York Knicks. Harris is from Long Island, so may have a natural affinity for his home town team. He will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season and already turned down a four year, $36 million extension offer from the Magic. Harris is a key player in the Magic's lineup and has proven himself to be great at finishing off rebounds for points as well as hitting three pointers (40.7%). The Magic seem to like him and will probably make it pretty expensive for him to go anywhere in the offseason.
1/21/15: The Orlando Magic got a little revenge on an old friend last week when they beat Dwight Howard and the Houston Rockets. The Magic have gone up against Howard before, but there are still hard feelings in Orlando about Howard and how he left the team. But more important than a civic boost is that the Magic are starting to turn into a decent team. They seem to have found their identity as a fast paced team that has several scoring options. And they are finally fun to watch again. The recent uptick has a few people thinking that the Magic can make a run for a playoff spot this season.
1/14/15: The Orlando Magic and their fans knew that rebuilding the franchise after trading away Dwight Howard and firing head coach Stan Van Gundy would take a while. But it has been a few years now and the Magic faithful seem to be getting restless. The team has had several high draft selections and has picked up some good talent, but does not seem to be progressing. They currently are on a prolonged losing streak, which only helps their lottery odds. At some point, the Magic are going to have to turn the corner, and head coach Jacques Vaughn may not be part of the team when that happens.
1/7/15: The Magic are not as bad as they have been in the past couple of years, but they are still a long way off from being a contender again. The team continues to rebuild through the draft, and they have picked up some quality pieces over the last few years. Actually, the best move they made was the move they did not make. GM Rob Hennigan refused to take Andrew Bynum from the Lakers when he traded Dwight Howard. It was ridiculed at the time but now looks genius. It still may be a few more years, but it looks like the Magic are on the right track.
11/19/14: The Orlando Magic must have made someone in the schedule department pretty mad. Through 12 games, the Magic have played eight on the road and are currently on a stretch where they play four in six nights - most of which (of course) are road games. That included a home win over Milwaukee on Friday night and a road loss to Washington on Saturday. The odd thing is that the NBA schedule is typically spaced out and teams often go three or four days without a game. In any case, the Magic are a developing team. They may end up in the lottery again this season - and that may not be a bad thing.
11/12/14: Not much is expected of the Orlando Magic this season, and they played down to their expectations for the first couple of weeks of the season. However, they finally broke through last week with a couple of victories. And one was a road victory, albeit against a lower quality team. First, they barely outlasted the Philadelphia 76ers with a 91-89 win. Two days later, they beat the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves in overtime 112-103. Orlando dominated the extra period with 18 points versus only nine for the T'Wolves. The Magic are now on the road for most of the next couple of weeks with only one home game versus five in visiting buildings.
11/5/14: It is time to feel a bit bad for Magic fans. Granted the season just started, but it started in such a way that there is a lot of concern for the team this season. First, Victor Olidipo broke his face in practice, so he is out a few weeks. Next, the team got dominated by Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans in the opening game. GM Rob Hennigan is trying to actually build a team through the draft and development - and that takes time. Of course, it does help that the Magic play in one of the best arenas in the NBA, and there is a lot of hope that this could be a great team in a year or two.
10/29/14: The Orlando Magic are now in year two of their rebuild under young GM Rob Hennigan and coach Jacques Vaughn. The Magic are hoping that this season brings some noticeable player development from guard Victor Oladipo, the second overall pick in 2013, as well as their two first rounders last summer, Aaron Gordon and Efrid Payton. Orlando hosted the Dallas Mavericks in their final preseason game and it is obvious that this team has work to do. Oladipo is out with a facial fracture and could miss the start of the season. Despite losing 117-92, there were some promising signs, such as the high energy Payton brought to the team when he was on the court. The Magic have their home opener on Thursday against the Washington Wizards.
2/28/13: the Magic made one of the bigger trades at the NBA trade deadline, sending fan favorite J.J. Redick and two others to Milwaukee for Beno Udrih, Tobias Harris, and Doron Lamb. Udrih is particularly pleased with the trade, as he is now playing for his former teammate Jacques Vaughn. He felt that Milwaukee was a bad situation for him, where he simply did not get the playing minutes he wanted. With the Magic, he may get a lot more time on the floor, and establish himself for the rest of the season, and possibly even beyond.
2/21/13: Magic fan favorite Hedo Turkolu was suspended this past week for violation of the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. Turkolu claims that a medical professional in Turkey gave him the PEDs to rehab his injured shoulder. He claims that he did not know whatever he was given was a substance banned by the NBA, and did not bother to verify with the league. Turk has only played in about 10 games this year, and has been awful. His suspension is for 20 games. But the point is, if he was going to cheat, shouldn't he have taken something that would make him better?
2/14/13: The Magic finally snapped their losing streak, ending the slide at 12 games with a 110-104 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. A few weeks ago, the Magic were 12-13, and looking somewhat competitive. But a rash of injuries to Glen Davis, Jameer Nelson, and just about anyone else who could play sent them in a big downward spiral, and the team is now 15-36, and 20.5 games out of first place in the Southeast. Orlando is heading for the best possible outcome, that is, a lottery pick to rebuild the team. But at least Magic fans can take solace in the fact that Dwight Howard is not fitting in well with the Lakers and they may miss the playoffs.
2/7/13: It has been a long time since the Magic have won a game, much less two in a row. The team is completely depleted due to injury and lack of talent. Four starters: Jameer Nelson, J.J. Reddick, Glen "Big Baby" Davis, and Aaron Aflalo are out with injury, leaving a starting line up that may not win at the college level. Davis may be out for the remainder of the season with a broken foot. To add insult to injury (literally), the Clippers came to town with Chris Paul hurt, and still decided to sit Blake Griffin. The good news is that the losing should put them in the lottery to get an impact player at the draft.
1/31/13: The Orlando Magic are almost back to full strength, but the struggles continue. The Magic have lost 14 of their past 16 games, including a 104-102 thriller at home against the Detroit Pistons. J.J. Redick had a hot hand, scoring 19 in the first half, 31 for the game, and nailing eight three-pointers. The former Duke Blue Devil was easily the team's best player that night, but head coach Jacques Vaughn inexplicably took him out of the game as the Magic were making a late run. As it stands, Orlando will be out of the playoffs, but they still need a few more losses to get into the lottery round.
1/24/13: The Magic finally have Glen "Big Baby" Davis back, but it does not seem to be helping the team too much. Orlando has lost 14 of their last 16 games, most recently 105-90 in Detroit. The loss to the Pistons is especially disheartening because the Magic had been at least competitive in most games. But the Pistons controlled this match from the outset. The only good news out of it seems be that Davis is starting to mature. He placed the blame on himself and declared that he has to play better if the Magic are going to improve. That is something that has not been seen before, and a good sign for Magic fans.
1/17/13: Orlando finally snapped their losing streak at ten games, with a strong road effort against the high-flying L.A. Clippers. The Magic are 2-0 in the Staples Center this season, having beaten the Lakers earlier on. Glen Davis is still out with an injury, but appears to be close to returning. Aaron Afflalo, in his first year with the team, is having a strong season. He is averaging over 17 points per game and over 21 in the past four. Coach Jacques Vaughn seems pleased, noting that throughout the losing streak, the team stuck together and did not start assessing blame.
1/10/13: The Magic got through the first 25 games with a 12-13 record - far better than most people expected after trading Dwight Howard in the off season. However, the team has not been able to break through that dozen win mark in the last nine tries. Glen "Big Baby" Davis is out with a hurt shoulder and the team lacks the depth to compensate for his loss. The most recent disappointment was a 125-119 overtime defeat at Portland. With point guard Jameer Nelson back in the line up,the team was competitive, but they are still looking for their first win since early December.
1/3/13: Two weeks ago, the Orlando Magic were riding a four game winning streak and were within one game of .500. But injuries to Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Jameer Nelson, and just about anyone else with a pulse have brought Orlando back to reality. The Magic are currently on a seven game losing skid, and have fallen back in the division. The Magic have a chance to set the NBA record for fewest free throws in a season. The current record is 18 per game, and Orlando is averaging 16.2. With no inside presence, there is no need to foul the Magic - and it is showing up on the stat sheet.
12/27/12: The Magic have overachieved thus far this season, and have inched close to the .500 mark on the season. However, Glen "Big Baby" Davis went down with an injury, and the team has not been able to provide a suitable back up. Orlando trotted out rookie Andrew Nicholson in Davis' place at power forward, but he could only muster six points and four rebounds. Coach Jacque Vaughn then went with Gustavo Ayon against the Jazz, a game the Magic lost 97-93. Many fans would prefer the team just lose all season to earn a lottery pick, but the organization refuses to quit this early.
12/20/12: Who needs Dwight Howard? The 2012-13 version of the Orlando Magic does not have the star power as past teams, but this team plays hard every night. Many expected the Magic to be in the cellar, but the team is 11-13, within striking distance of .500. Led by Glen (Big Baby) Davis, Jameer Nelson, and J.J. Reddick, the team has won 5 of their last 6, while watching the Lakers continue to stumble over themselves. Not even the hardiest of Magic fans believe that the team has the talent to compete for the title this year, but faithful are encouraged by the strong work ethic and blue collar approach that this no-name outfit has shown through the first quarter of the season.
12/13/12: The Magic just completed their first significant West Coast road trip, running up against former Magic franchise player and current Laker Dwight Howard. The Dwight Howard and Orlando Magic divorce got quite ugly earlier in the year, and Dwight said he had no emotion when the teams faced off. The Magic did, and they won because Dwight couldn't hit a free throw. Orlando finished the five game road trip at 3-2. While the team is not likely to make a championship run, the faithful Magic fans are thankful for small victories - like the one over the Lakers.
12/6/12: It took the Magic about a decade to recover from Shaq fleeing the franchise for the LA Lakers, and they franchise (and fans) hope it will not take that long to recover from Dwight Howard doing the same thing (OK, he was traded, but he forced the trade). But right now its Magic 1, Dwight 0. Orlando headed into the Staples Center and came out with a 113-103 victory. Aaron Afflalo led Orlando with 30 points as the Magic scored 40 points in the fourth quarter. The Magic repeatedly fouled Howard, who was only 9-21 from the line, though Dwight took no responsibility for loss after the game.
11/29/12: Perhaps the most stunning realization that the Dwight Howard era is over in Orlando is that the team trails the Charlotte Bobcats in the standings. The Magic are hardly a competitive team this season, and the fans recognize that fact. In fact, many fans are openly rooting for losses to improve the teams chances of landing a lottery pick next season. Most recently, the Magic allowed a late lead against the Boston Celtics to slip away, finally falling 116-110 in a game that obviously featured no defense. Orlando hosts the San Antonio Spurs later this week in a game that will reunite Magic head coach Jacques Vaughn with his mentor Greg Popovich.
11/22/12: The Magic continue to live up to their fans expectations in the frst Post-Dwight campaign. The team is 4-7, coming off of a 90-74 clobbering of the Detroit Pistons at home, which included a huge third quarter. The Magic scored the first 21 points of the second half and opened up a lead that the Pistons simply could not match. Orlando has picked on Detroit this year, beating them twice in the last week. The Pistons, however, are struggling mightily. The team is 2-10, and is already on life support very early in the NBA season.
11/15/12: The Orlando Magic are off to a tough start this season, which does not come as a surprise to those who follow the team. While not as bad as the 1-19 start in the 2003 season (which ultimately led them to the number one overall pick - Dwight Howard), the 2-5 start does not bode well for the franchise. After winning their first two games, the Magic have dropped the last five, including two to the Brooklyn Nets. The Magic have been without starters Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkolu for the past week, but the lack of depth is already starting to show.
The Dwight Howard saga continues in Orlando, as Dwight Howard has once again expressed his intentions to leave after this season and sign elsewhere if the Magic do not trade him this offseason. Needing to once again reiterate his position despite the constant media coverage that has surrounded his desire to leave Orlando and the many teams in pursuit of him, Howard has still yet to find a suitor that is willing to take the chance of giving up major pieces for him in a trade, only to see him leave in free agency at the end of this upcoming season. With the Lakers backing out of trade talks recently after their acquisitions of Jordan Hill and Antawn Jamison, there now seems to be a very short list of teams still capable of dealing for Howard.
Playing without star Dwight Howard, the Orlando Magic dropped game two of their Eastern Conference playoff series against the Indiana Pacers by the score of 93-78. Glen Davis led the Magic offensively with 18 points on the game, while David West led the Pacers with 18 points as well. Davis added 10 rebounds, 1 block and a steal on the day as well. Perhaps the most alarming statistic for the Magic is that they were out-rebounded by the Pacers 26-13 in game two, a statistic that must change if Orlando wants a chance to move on into the next round. The series will move to Orlando for game three on Wednesday.
As the season comes to a close, the Orlando Magic sit at 36-28 and are entrenched in the six seed for the Eastern Conference playoffs. If the seeding holds up, the team will face off against the three seed Indiana Pacers in the first round. The team has put up somewhat mediocre offensive numbers this season, placing 21st in the league with 94.3 points per game. The team has however, played solid defense, holding opponents to only 93.4 points per game throughout the season. Orlando will be without star Dwight Howard throughout the postseason as he recovers from a serious back injury.
The Orlando Magic remain in a tight race for a playoff spot as the regular season dwindles down. Currently, the team sits as the #6 seed with a comfortable 3 game lead over #7 seed Philadelphia, but the team is just 4-6 in its last 10 games and cannot afford to continue to slip in the standings. Dwight Howard continues to provide strong offense for the squad, leading the team in four different categories averaging 20.6 points, 14.5 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.5 steals per game. Down the stretch, the Magic still have games remaining with the playoff-contending Celtics and 76ers.

Orlando Magic 2011 Offseason
The Orlando Magic really need to start making moves at improving their team and build a better supporting cast to suit Dwight Howard. They went 52-30 in the regular season and finished 2nd in their division to the eastern conference champs Miami Heat. However Dwight doesn't want just a good season. He wants a championship season and needs the correct players to come through in the post season. The first round loss to Atlanta was a shocker in many people's minds. Talks are also speculating that Dwight will repeat what Shaq did. He'll leave Orlando for a bigger contract and the chance to play with a young superstar and win a few championships while never bringing the hardware to Orlando.

Mariner 10's Venus
Date: 5 Feb 1974
Mariner 10 took this image of Venus as it flew past the inner planet. Made using an ultraviolet filter in its imaging system, this photo has been color-enhanced to bring out Venus's cloudy atmosphere as the human eye would see it.
Venus is perpetually blanketed by a thick veil of clouds high in carbon dioxide. Its surface temperature approaches 900 degrees Fahrenheit (482 degrees Celsius).
Launched on 3 Nov. 1973 atop an Atlas-Centaur rocket, Mariner 10 flew by Venus in 1974.

Sorry, I haven't gotten by here much lately. It's been a very busy year, so I'm not complaining, especially in this economy.
Last spring the top blew off the fireplace chimney. Too much heat & smoke turned it brittle & it broke like dried leaves. They have to be special ordered around here, they're expensive & we've gone through 2 in 11 years. So, I took a couple hours & made one out of .080 aluminum sign cut-offs.
At a sign shop, you use what you have. Made a template out of scrap vinyl.
Wheeled a little pitch in the top & bottom pieces for water runoff.
I don't have tipping dies for the bead roller, so I picked something close & went with it

Used the shrinker / stretcher & a hammer to get a 90°.
Test fit the bottom half on the stainless inner liner.
I tried everything I could think of to make the louvered sides, but nothing turned out right (wasted a good part of the afternoon figuring that out). So, as an alternative, I stomped out a handful of aluminum stripes on the shear, used the bench vise & a crescent wrench as a jig & bent all the stripes into louver pieces & then clamped spot welded them to the top 1 by 1. Then did the same with the bottom
It actually went together fairly quick once I had a system down. Welded some mounting tabs on the bottom & got it installed in the dark. Installed some rain gutter screen on the bottom to keep birds out of the liner vent. I have to do a little re-sealing on the chimney itself, but it started to rain just as I was putting the last screws in.
Cross another Honey -Do off the list in my quest to get back on the "Z". Been some chilli mornings lately & NO fireplace.
It's nothing fancy, but it should be functional & hopefully last a little longer than the thin gauge store bought units. Now that it's on the roof, nobody will notice except maybe me & Santa Claus.
Looks really nice. Gonna outlast those bought ones too.Professional firefighter (retired). Amateur everything else I try to do...
Oh yeah: GO BIG RED!

Rust won't be a problem any more, just watch out that the heat doesn't get so hot that it melts the louvers. Otherwise it's another trip back topside for a rework. Looks like you have plenty of firewood stocked up already.

12 New Ways to Wear Your Hair This Winter
Winter blues already bringing you down? Bust out of a cold-weather rut with a dozen gorgeous, new celebrity hair ideas. Use this cute hairstyle guide and we guarantee you won't be untagging those fabulous party photos of yourself on Facebook this season!SEE MORE
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Twisty Short-Hair Updo
Katerina Graham's cute hairstyle is a fun way to mix things up when you're in the growing-out-my-pixie-haircut stage. Spray a styling product like Nexxus Root Extent on the roots of wet hair, blow-dry and curl all around using a 1-inch-barrel curling iron to help give hair a bit of swirl, suggests celebrity hairstylist Kristan Serafino. After teasing the crown, take random 3-inch sections, swirl hair—like the shape of a cinnamon bun (yum!)—and secure with bobby pins. The fringe should be gently teased, smoothed with your fingers and spritzed with shine-enhancing hairspray.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: Accessorize Your Curly Hair
One way to avoid the common curl? Throw on a fab headband to top off the look. With flatironed bangs like those on Bella Thorne, you could leave them out of the headband or pull them back with the hair accessory. And voilà—you've got two cute hairstyles in one!
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Styled Pixie Haircut
Look up sexy in the dictionary and you'll probably find Halle Berry's short hairstyle. If you've got a feisty haircut like Halle, add a dime-size amount of sculpting paste such as Shu Uemura Art of Hair Shape Paste's to freshly shampooed hair to define the layers. Take a mini flatiron to give a few pieces a little bit of a bend. If halfway through the evening you notice your cute hair deflating, keep a mini bottle of alcohol-free hand sanitizer gel to dab on to reactivate your hair prods, says celebrity hairstylist Jet Rhys.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Unboring Knotted Bun
Think outside the (hair) bun with Natalie Portman's gorgeously knotted hairstyle. First amp up your hair's texture with a volumizing hairspray like L'Oréal's Textureline Infinium Hairspray—"It gives the hair lift and volume without being crunchy," says Rhys. Use a 1-inch curling iron to curl the ends of the hair to make the loopy bun work for you. Fasten hair into a ponytail at eye level before twisting 1-inch portions and securing with bobby pins around the ponytail holder.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Mod French Braid
If you're digging Eva Mendes' made-for-party-hopping hairstyle, tuck the tail of a French braid underneath to create this gorgeous updo. Start by making a thin rectangular section on the top of your head from hairline to crown and clip it away, says Rhys. Divide the rest of the hair to make a loose French braid, secure with a clear elastic and fold the tail under using bobby pins. Remove your clip, brush back and blast generously with hairspray.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Quick-Fix Hair Clip
Party season is a great time of year to deck your fab hair with a sparkly clip like Emma Watson. Place your accessory at the crown of the head and you'll have the shiniest—and most stylin'!—hair in the room.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: Glam Mini Cornrows
Mini cornrows are hot right now. But instead of braiding all the way around, add a few subtle braids to the sides of your center part. Take a piece of hair about as wide as your index finger and braid from the top to halfway down, says Rhys. Secure with an invisible hair tie and spray all over with a shine-enhancing spray like Bumble & Bumble Shine Spray .
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Wavy Ponytail
Who knew a not-so-perfect ponytail could be totally picture-perfect! Apply a golf-ball-size dab of mousse like Jonathan Infinite Mousse to wet hair and use your hands to tousle hair with a blow-dryer, says Serafino. Make a side part using the corner of your eyebrow as a guide and set hair into hot rollers. After releasing the curls, tease hair at the front and sides and pull into a ponytail just below the crown. Don't worry about any hair bumps or a tiny bit of frizz—that's what makes it look so effortless and sexy!
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: Simple, Sexy Hair-Part Switch
Kudos to Jamie Chung for showing that when it comes to hair, it's the simplest things that are über sexy. Switching up your hair's part is a two-second tweak that could dramatically change your look. If you always rock a side part, try slicing it right down the middle. If you're usually a center-part type of gal, shock everyone with a deep side part.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Unfinished Braided Updo
If you need a pretty hairstyle that's winter-accessories-friendly, try Kate Bosworth's elegantly braided updo. Start off by applying a little mousse like Bed Head TIGI Catwalk Strong Mousse to wet hair and blow-dry, says Serafino. Take a 2-inch section at the top of your head and French-braid hair starting at the forehead (without gathering all the hair on the sides like a traditional French braid). Instead of braiding all the way to the tail, stop halfway through the braid, secure with a small elastic band and grab all your hair into a simple twist or ponytail.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Asymmetric Side Chignon
Face-framing curls and flirty pieces sticking out of Rebecca Gayheart's asymmetrical curly side bun prevent it from looking too matronly, says Rhys. Start with your head upside down and spray a hairspray such as Pantene Pro-B Classic Hairspray Flexible Hold to give your hair some volume. Take eight to 10 Velcro hot rollers and set them in curls for about 15 minutes. Let cool and use your fingers to rake the hair to the side and tie into a messy bun.
Cute New Hairstyle Idea: the Touchable Half-Up Curly 'Do
Garcelle Beauvais' curly half-up, half-down hairstyle will take your hair from "ho-hum" to "holy smokes!" in minutes. If you find your curly haircut springing up, down and all around, just pull the top portion back into a sleek half-up 'do and we doubt you'll ever have another bad hair day, lovelies!

More than half of all people in the United States suffer from allergies, according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Alexandre Schleider, an international finance manager from Paris who now lives in Chicago, didn't want to suffer anymore.
A long list of allergens including pollen, mold and cats caused Schleider to sneeze and his eyes to water constantly. At 7 years old, a bee stung him in the face, and allergies plagued him from that day on.
Constant sneezing, sometimes every minute for an hour, exhausted him. However, Schleider said, "like everything, you get used to it; it's mostly uncomfortable. For me the most inconvenient part was starting the day and having an allergy (attack) without knowing why."
He tried all the big name medications to battle his symptoms—Zyrtec, Claritin, Benadryl—but to no avail. "They made me tired, and I was not a big fan of that. Especially when you have allergies in the morning, it makes your whole day bad."
After a bout of coughing last year, Schleider's family doctor referred him to Janaki Emani, M.D., an otolaryngologist at Weiss. Dr. Emani discussed his health history and symptoms, took X-rays and in the end confirmed allergies as the reason for Schleider's coughing. She also told him about the under-tongue drops she offered patients to cure their allergies.
Dr. Emani is one of a handful of physicians in the region who treat patients using sublingual immunotherapy. She said the drops are formulated to each patient's specific needs. "If it's a pollen allergy, the droplets contain a pollen extract. They're purified and filtered, but it's the substance itself that you're placing under the tongue."
The difference between drops and shots is that patients who use the drops don't need a physician to administer them. The patient dispenses the droplets daily, without having to make a trip to the physician's office.
For Schleider, this aspect of treatment was particularly appealing. His job involves travel, often at the last minute, and the opportunity to give himself the droplets meshed well with his lifestyle.
"There are people out there who are suffering because of the inconvenience of taking a day off to go to a physician's office or because of a fear of needles," Emani said. "I want to offer something for patients who don't want to do the shots or who don't want to spend the time to come in. They should have that option."
Because the patient receives the allergens multiple times a day, Emani said the doses are smaller than with once-weekly shots, lessening the risk of a severe reaction such as anaphylactic shock.
According to Dr. Emani, patients' symptoms improve more quickly than with shots—three to four weeks versus months. Schleider can attest to that. He began the drops six months ago and hasn't taken any allergy medication in the past two months— despite going through high allergy season. "I can tell the drops probably changed my life. I don't wake up anymore with allergies. I start my day like everybody else."

Check out our first blog post #fairtrade
Enjoy my new crime short story "A pictorial of a disingenue"http://marialewytzkyjmilliganstoryroom.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-pictorial-of-disingenue.html
How can we say we respect international laws when we are so quick to break them? How can we not see that deconflicting with proxies in the area is not walking away, that's fiction, but working toward a solution that understands that we are not going to strongarm Assad or any other fighters in the region into stopping, but might actually escalate things? No one said walk away and Boxer and Feinstein seem to be interpreting calls to consider other options that way. That is a mistake and shows how caught up they are in having the conversation forget horrible implications and unintended consequences of us taking matters into our hands quickly and swiftly. We could stop locking horns with everyone who understands that this could very well negatively and very adversely affect the region and our dog in the fight is humanity, no matter what, not just acting irrationally and overreacting after getting intelligence. We can engage directly with the parties arming the belligerents in Syria to negotiate a full international arms embargo. It's not about just acting on intelligence and deciding what is a meaningful response to elected officials. It's understanding that they are supposed to represent the will of the people not just independently act. Even if the intelligence is verifiable, credible, and damning and not just a single source, then the way we respond is still open to various options.

CLEVELAND -- When you spend every day buried in influenza data like researcher Richard Stacklin, you're likely to bring some of the info home.
"First everybody had to get a flu shot, that was a mandate. As well as making sure you wash your hands for 15 to 20 seconds. Make sure you scrub them," said Stacklin.
Stacklin works in Epidemiology and Surveillance at the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, measuring metrics for when you visit the doctor or hospital with flu-like symptoms, how many kids miss school or even the flu medicine or thermometers you buy at the pharmacy.
The pattern, cause and effect tracking helps the medical community plan for future outbreaks, and even determines what strains of flu end up in each year's vaccine.
"It paints the whole picture. If we only have one data source, we understand something maybe going on for flu related hospitalizations, but what's going on in the schools? Are the younger people getting sick?" said Stacklin.
This year, the most telling statistic: the number of ER visits for every age group keeps growing.
"The peak flu period can go ten to twelve weeks, and we've been starting the peak for the last four weeks," he said.
After a very unusual early start, Stacklin says expect two more months of misery. This year's most common strain H3N2, has also proved deadliest over the past 35 years.
The good news? The vaccine, which doctors say you still have time to get, is a perfect match.
"The CDC reported that over 90 percent, nine out of ten people that had a confirmed influenza related illness, that was hospitalized, could have been prevented if they had gotten the flu shot," said Stacklin.
And doctors say, if you get the vaccine and still manage to get sick, your illness will be milder and shorter.
Why such an early flu season? It's hard to say. But the uptick in timing occurred just before the holidays.
While people traveled around from work to relatives, they also carried the virus, spreading it person to person. Those families who managed to stay healthy could now be exposed as kids go back to school, and adults back to work.
Weather can play a role, too, as the influenza virus is airborne, and travels best in cold, dry air.

Guest blog post from Suzanne McMillan, ASPCA Director of Farm Animal Welfare
Nine out of 10 land animals killed for food in the U.S. are poultry. Unfortunately these chickens, turkeys and other birds have no protection under federal animal welfare laws—not even during slaughter.
Now the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants to allow faster line speeds in poultry slaughterhouses. From an animal welfare perspective, this raises red flags: We all know that when you rush, mistakes happen. Workers need to be as careful as possible when handling live birds to ensure proper procedures are followed.
Please let USDA know that you have concerns about this proposed rule. Please take action today and ask them to consider the effects of their proposal!

Step 1: Frame Prep.
- If you only want to sand down the current paint, my favorite method is to use 180grit wet/dry sandpaper. I keep a bucket next to me and rinse off the paper when its starts to clog with old paint. The wet sanding cuts through the paint pretty quick but it still takes awhile.
- I tape off all the holes and trim the excess with an exacto. I stuff a roll of newspaper in the seat tube because I've seen motorcycle builders do this so I feel cool. Get decent masking tape that sticks well but doesn't pull off paint. I have found that the blue house painters tape doesn't stick well enough for detail work but is fine for masking big areas.
- If you can, wait for a warm, dry day. It will help the paint bond well.
what kinda bike is this? looks like an older cannondale bike
cheapest compromise: make base and color using spray cans, and then take the frame for coating to car painting shop.
spraying over powder coating has one more advantage: powder coats are limited to RAL color palette (at least in Poland). you can fill cans (for spray or gun) with every car color possible or have a custom color, with pearl and metalic gloss.
Link to instructable about it.
Not entirely true. There are consumer level powder coat systems. With enough practice and patience, one might achieve a decent finish. Have not tried it myself, but the day is approaching . . .
i don't know of powder coating that doesn't involve the heat for curing the coating, but i may be mistaken. i'll stick with spray paint on my $30 bike : )
The 600 will be very smooth paper compared to the 180.
I used an angle grinder with a wire brush to get most of the orginal paint off the bike. I also used an eco friendly stripper that I found at home depot. Next I cleaned the bike and then primed it with a metal primer. Next I would cut a section of wallpaper and modpodge the backside strip of wallpaper and the section of bike frame. Once that dried I would give that section a sealing coat of mod podge.

If your NASCAR racing team hires the best driver in history but you give him a Yugo to drive, do you pay him a lot because he's the best, or does his pay reflect the fact that he finishes last in every race?
I sympathize with most public school teachers. Based on effort many are underpaid. Based on results, many are overpaid. They're pawns in a broken and antiquated system.
There is hope.
All black, all male public school
lottery enrollment from a troubled neighborhood
school enforces a strict uniform
Only 4 percent of this year's senior class read at grade level as freshmen
an extended day--170,000 more minutes over four years compared to its counterparts
more than double the number of English credits usually needed to graduate
instead of 62% dropping out (link), all seniors are college bound
Traditional public education has lowered standards for generations trying to get all students to pass. Perhaps it time to raise expections so all students can succeed?
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...llege-all-maleChicago Public SchoolsCharter school in tough neighborhood gets all its seniors into college
March 05, 2010
The entire senior class at Chicago's only public all-male, all-African-American high school has been accepted to four-year colleges. At last count, the 107 seniors had earned spots at 72 schools across the nation.
Mayor Richard Daley and Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman surprised students at an all-school assembly at Urban Prep Academy for Young Men in Englewood this morning to congratulate them. It's the first graduating class at Urban Prep since it opened its doors in 2006.
"All of you in the senior class have shown that what matters is perseverance, what matters is focus, what matters is having a dream and following that dream," Huberman said.
The school enforces a strict uniform of black blazers, khaki pants and red ties -- with one exception. After a student receives the news he was accepted into college, he swaps his red tie for a red and gold one at an assembly.
The last 13 students received their college ties today, to thunderous applause.
Ask Rayvaughn Hines what college he was accepted to and he'll answer with a question.
"Do you want me to name them all?"
For the 18-year-old from Back of the Yards, college was merely a concept--never a goal--growing up. Even within the last three years, he questioned if school, let alone college, was for him. Now, the senior is headed to the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta, Ga. next fall.
Hines remembers the moment he put on his red and gold tie.
"I wanted to take my time because I was just so proud of myself," he said. "I wanted everyone to see me put it on."
The achievement might not merit a mayoral visit at one of the city's elite, selective enrollment high schools. But Urban Prep, a charter school that enrolls using a lottery in one of the city's more troubled neighborhoods, faced difficult odds. Only 4 percent of this year's senior class read at grade level as freshmen, according to Tim King, the school's CEO.
"I never had a doubt that we would achieve this goal," King said. "Every single person we hired knew from the day one that this is what we do: We get our kids into college."
College is omnipresent at the school. Before the students begin their freshman year, they take a field trip to Northwestern University. Every student is assigned a college counselor the day he steps foot in the school.
The school offers an extended day--170,000 more minutes over four years compared to its counterparts across the city--and more than double the number of English credits usually needed to graduate.
Even the school's voicemail has a student declaring "I am college bound" before it asks callers to dial an extension.
Normally, it takes senior Jerry Hinds two buses and 45 minutes to get home from school. On Dec. 11, the day University of Illinois at Champaign- Urbana was to post his admission decisions online at 5 p.m., he asked a friend to drive him home.
He went into his bedroom, told his well-wishing mother this was something he had to do alone, closed the door and logged in.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" he remembers screaming. His mother, who didn't dare stray far, burst in and began crying.
That night he made more than 30 phone calls, at times shouting "I got in" on his cell phone and home phone at the same time.
"We're breaking barriers," he said. "And that feels great."
Im somewhat disappointed that more African Americans dont think for themselves and just go with whatever theyre supposed to say and think."
- Dr. Benjamin Carson
GoFins! ... Thanks for that report. I love hearing about success stories.
I wish I could say that ALL of my students have gone on to success. Sadly, it's not the case. I've got at least 4 former students serving hard time at the moment. Three of them, not a huge surprise (generational poverty combined with dad/uncles jailed for various offenses = well, I tried to be a positive male influence. ) The fourth? Wrong place, wrong time, wrong friends. It's a lesson I stress to "my kids"
The truly rewarding moments in my career have come when I get a surprise visit (years later) from a former student who had been told his/her entire life up until 8th grade (& probably afterwards) that they just "weren't good/smart enough" to do anything with their life & they show up beaming with their college sheepskin in hand. (Currently 13 and counting) Days like that make all the bull**** worth it.
Education absolutely needs to be more difficult with less emphasis on standardized tests and more on college acceptances. School should be year round and last longer each day, teachers should be paid more, counselors and tutors should be more readily available, and accountability should focus on the curriculum, student surveys, and direct observation (not grades or tests).
Slow your roll on ****ing with my Summers.
We need those two months off to recharge the 'ol batteries. I'd go full ****** without 'em.
Now, some years I work in those two months - and some years I don't. (depends on financial issues - like: did I harvest enough game/fish to save enough dough to just chill in the Summer ... **** like that.)
Lately, it's been good! I've even been able to squirrel away enough to enjoy a Vegas vacation for the past several years. (doesn't look like this year, but F it)
Still ... Summers? NEED THEM!
You try dealing with an avg. of 125 different Thirteen-turning-Fourteen-year-olds every year, WITHOUT A BREAK, and then tell me exactly how your sanity is holding up.
I didn't mean to say there should be no breaks, I think they should be spread out around each quarter.
"If the pursuit of learning is not defended by the educated citizen, it will not be defended at all. For there will always be those who scoff at intellectuals, who cry out against research, who seek to limit our educational system. Modern cynics and skeptics see no more reason for landing a man on the moon, which we shall do, than the cynics and skeptics of half a millennium ago saw for the discovery of this country. They see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
But the educated citizen knows how much more there is to know. He knows that "knowledge is power," more so today than ever before. He knows that only an educated and informed people will be a free people, that the ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all, and that if we can, as Jefferson put it, "enlighten the people generally ... tyranny and the oppressions of mind and body will vanish, like evil spirits at the dawn of day." And, therefore, the educated citizen has a special obligation to encourage the pursuit of learning, to promote exploration of the unknown, to preserve the freedom of inquiry, to support the advancement of research, and to assist at every level of government the improvement of education for all Americans, from grade school to graduate school." - President John F. Kennedy

My question is about adding heavy cream or half 'n half to a dish. Olive oil is in a skillet over low heat. Next add lemon juice, a ladle of pasta cooking water and the cream. The cream always turns slightly curdled, but the dish still tastes good. What can I do differently?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
One thing you could do is reduce the amount of lemon juice, and add some lemon zest. This will give you much of the lemon aroma without so much acidity. Try adding some zest to the cooking and then grate a little more on the finished plates, just before serving. Use a microplane.
Try cooking the lemon juice a little longer before adding the cream. This works for me, and I think it reduces the acidity and makes it less likely to curdle the cream.
This is what I do when I make my favorite lemon cream sauce and it has definitely improved it.
