Haggling skills land locals on national reality TV show
Published: Monday, June 23, 2014 at 10:42 a.m.

Two local friends and business partners struck up a friendly conversation with an out-of-town visitor and wound up starring in a new reality TV show.
Four half-hour episodes of that show, "Dukes of Haggle," will air in a mini-marathon that starts at 9 a.m. Tuesday on Discovery's Destination America. If you're an AT&T U-verse customer, you can catch it on channel 465.
Nicki Rhodes and Jimmy Sandzik don't appear in all the episodes that were filmed between February and April of last year in North Carolina, Rhodes said, but he expects to be in at least half of them.
Rhodes, 55, says he and Sandzik met the show's producer while he was in town for another project. MAK Productions, the folks behind this show, are also responsible for the now canceled "Cajun Justice," a reality show that followed the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office and then Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois.
The "Cajun Justice" crew was staying at Ansley Place apartments and stopped by the nearby driving range to hit a few golf balls after work.
Sandzik owned that driving range, which had been on South Hollywood Road near Corporate Drive. The guys struck up a friendship with the producer and invited him to watch Rhodes, a longtime member of the local band Southern Cross, perform.
Fast forward a few months later when Rhodes said he got an out-of-the-blue phone call from Los Angeles and an invitation to film what would become "Dukes of Haggle" — a reality show that follows four teams of professional traders who barter for treasures from backyards and barns that they restore and sell.
In addition to Rhodes and Sandzik, the show's cast includes pairs of barterers from Rhode Island and North Carolina. There's also Ron Boudreaux of New Orleans, who Rhodes calls a "city coonass."
"They really played up his being a Cajun because of his last name, but I'm the real Cajun," he said, adding that Boudreaux has a New Orleans drawl instead of the distinctive flat accent often heard in Terrebonne and Lafourche.
Boudreaux did, however, "know how to cook a gumbo and jambalaya" so he wasn't all bad, Rhodes admits.
Sandzik is a Detroit native living in Houma who has called many places home. Rhodes pegs Sandzik's age at 185.
"He's lived here for five years and there for five years. So many frigging places," Rhodes said. "I sat down one time and added it all up, and it came up to 185."
Episodes one and two aired in October and have played multiple times since, according to Rhodes and multiple news reports. New episodes will be shown Tuesday.
Asked about his favorite scene and most lucrative find, Rhodes said both occurred in the same episode.
"They let me write and perform a song in a barn in the middle of nowhere called the Cooter Hole," he said. The barn houses a stage and bar. The song, called "Picker's Creed," is about the life of a picker, or someone who travels the country in search of cast off treasures.
Cooter's Hole is also where he and Sandzik found an old Coke machine, which they restored and sold at a profit. "It came out really nice," Rhodes said.
Ninety-nine percent of the filming was done in North Carolina, and Rhodes said he was surprised at how many hours go into each episode.
"The cast members don't have it so bad, but the guys who actually shoot the program — they worked some long, long hours," he said.
This isn't the first time local faces have appeared on reality TV. In addition to "Cajun Justice," the list includes:
-- R.J. and Jay Paul Molinere of Grand Bois who appear on the History Channel's "Swamp People."
-- Mattie Breaux, of Gheens, who is on CMT's "Party Down South."
-- Jeff, Frank and Joseph Teuton of Houma who were on an episode of "Swamp Pawn."
-- Vicky and Brady Vilcan of Houma, who were contestants on NBC's "Biggest Loser."

I've thought all the arguments against the vaccine have been foolish. Your child may never be exposed to measles, but to not get them inoculated against it is ridiculous.
Obviously, if you're the kind of person that expects your daughter to be a virgin on her wedding day, you probably would also like your son-in-law to be as well. But HPV isn't just transmitted via intercourse. Are you willing to take a chance with your daughter's life that the husband-to-be has never had any genital contact?
Not to mention that many strains of HPV can't be tested for in men. He may not even know that he has it. It seems a stupid gamble to prove righteousness through potential cancer.
And not to mention that not all sex is consensual. Even the most devout practioner of abstinence could be raped by someone who is HPV positive.
And what about sexual abuse? American parents seem to be in a perpetual tizzy about pedophiles. Aren't fundies just as afraid as everyone else that their daughters might be abused?
That is just ridiculous! As someone who has had HPV, I understand the importance of a vaccine for all young women. I only wish it were available sooner. What's even more outrageous is the fact that people don't realize it's NOT only contracted by SEX. Sure, it's the most common way of contracting it but certainly not the only way. So saying as long as your daughter abstains from sex she'll be fine, is completely idiotic!
This whole "debate" is so amazingly stupid. Literally, these people are advocating a death penalty for any form of sexuality that deviates even the slightest from a single partner throughout one's life.
If this is the fuss over a HPV vaccine, I cannot imagine the asinine arguments to come over the HSV (herpes) vaccine.
Crap like this is why it's getting harder and harder for me to tolerate any form of religiosity. It's a harmful, moronic fairy story, and the human race needs to get over it already.
If the only thing keeping your daughter from fucking is the fear of cancer, you've got bigger problems at home than you think you do. Christ, it's like a mental illness with these people.
I say, let the religious zealots have their way, and not vaccinate their kids or themselves. Survival of the fittest. Once the HPV rate for christians is 100X that of a normal person, maybe they'll wake up. Or, they'll just die out, one by one, holding their beliefs of superiority to the end.
PS. I realize that the kids are the ones who suffer. That sucks, but fundie kids turn into fundie parents.
The whole "vaccinations against cancer lead to promiscuity" thing was exhibit #5133 in why I finally dumped the (current) right-wing. Maybe someday a conservative or religious leader will restore my faith in the philosophy, but as long as they're being led by reactionary zealots who come up with sh!t like this, I had to wave them goodbye. I mean, how anti-science and paranoid can you get?
I was a fundie kid. We don't all become fundie parents.
if i recall, this vaccine might protect against 4 or 6 of the 28-ish strands of HPV. that's hardly most.
It protects against something like 4 or 6 strains out of a lot more, true, but those strains that it does protect against are responsible for 70% of the cases of cervical cancer. that's why they can say "most."
If you read my article, you'd know that it protects against four strains of HPV. I meant to say, "protects against the strains of the virus that cause most cases of cervical cancer." 16 and 18 are responsible for 70 percent of all cervical cancer cases. I hate grammar.
16 and 18 also produce the most aggressive forms of cervical cancer. Hence why the vaccine targets them.
Hepatitis B can also be sexually transmitted, and vaccinations against it are - uncontroversially - required in many states and to enter many (most?) colleges. They're merely "recommended" by King County.
Correction: the Hepatitis B vaccine series is being phased in as a _requirement_ in Washington.
Most of what I have to say about this issue, an issue I am well qualified to comment on as my poor vagina has been subjected to all sorts of assaults in the last couple of years intended to keep me from dying of cervical cancer, has been covered in previous comments, but nobody asked about why boys are not being vacinated. Yes I already know that the supply is low and so it's going to people who have a cervix first but the vast majority of women are getting this from the men they have sex with! Penis cancer is related to HPV too. It is more then stupid -- it is wrong to deny preventative treatment because you have a problem with how a disease is spread. Fifteen years ago when my kids started getting Hep B vaccinations there was not one word said about sexual transmission. I wonder how many fundie kids have already gotten their Hep B vaccines? Ahh never mind--there is no point in trying to point out the logical fallacies in all this nonsense-- I'll just go deep breath my rage away and remind my vagina to fight the good fight.
Imagine if they had developed a vaccine to prevent heart disease and some parents said "Oh, but we feel it might teach our children to eat poorly and not exercise so we don't want them to get it." They'd be laughed out of the room.
And yet we treat these HPV-resisting parents like they're advocating a reasonable position and not simply the child abuse it is.
I asked my doctor about why the vaciine is only being given to women (and, for that matter, right now its only approved for women ages 9 to 26-- if you're over 26, too bad). She siad that the reason its only been approved for that group is that that's the group they've done clinical trials for. They only have so much funding at first to do clinical trials so it makes sense to start with the group that will benefit MOST-- it doesn't mean they won't start offering it to older women and to men in the next few years.
It's true that the FDA has not approved the vaccine for boys, men, or older women, and Merck can't market it to those populations. Your doctor can prescribe the vaccine "off-label"--but your insurance definitely won't cover it. And clinical trials are underway for men: Note this article in today's New York Times.
It's important to remember that the vaccine is NOT therapeutic: If you already have HPVand most sexually active people acquire it at some point in their livesit won't help. So the population that stands to benefit most from the vaccine is the demographic it's been tested for: girls and younger women who have not yet become sexually active or have had very few sex partners.
I am doing a debate about the HPV vaccine and you have all been very helpful. With your debate I know both sides and I think I will win.Thank!
P.S.-I am for the vaccine, not against it!
First of all, even though the men are not the most beneficial group from the vaccine, they are the main sexual transmitters! Don't you think we'd be better off to vaccinate the cause, rather than the effects? Second, is this a debate about the hpv vaccine, or religious morality? I thought that it was more about the latter in the first half of the argument. third, if it's not the only way to get hpv,(sex) then tell me some of the other ones!

The Logitech FabricSkin Brings A Surface-Like Fabric Keyboard To Your iPad
Logitech has today announced a new addition to its growing family of iPad keyboard cases, but this one is unlike anything the company has offered before. It's called the FabricSkin, and it offers a fabric keyboard much like that that comes with the Microsoft Surface tablet.
The great thing about a fabric keyboard is that its super slim and liquid resistant.

Well, the good news is that you can actually do it yourself in your own kitchen. The bad news is that for most of us, the process is so complicated and so likely to end in user error that while you'll still save over Colorware's $800 premium, you'll still have to spend a few hundred bucks replacing your machine.

This lady is a NUT! I would be better off getting my child a counselor from a fast food joint! Don't go to her!
This doctor was a big waste of my time and money!
Worst doctor I've ever seen! I am surprised she was able to get a medical license. I think she has mental problems herself.
A brilliant and compassionate doctor
Dr Linton is very trusting in her knowledge of medicine. She listens, and most important hears what you say.
Even other doctors are cleaning up her messes!
I finally found a new doctor for my out of control teen! Goodbye Dr. Linton! Maybe you wouldn't lose soooooo many patients if you would just shut your mouth and OPEN your ears on occasion.
Always had to wait for at least 45 minutes to get in her office. Then she hushed me in front of my children when I was trying to tell her the medicine she was prescribing my child wasn't even working. Child was out of control and she told me to try to keep things positive. Child's therapist was the one that told me to talk to her about his medicine not working. She told me she wasn't a therapist she just writes prescriptions. Well, if that's all she does then why can't she ever see us at our scheduled appt. time. Not to mention she takes her dog to work and it's not a service dog. How rude, some people have allergies to animals! Don't get me started on her canceling appts. and not returning my calls. My child needs HELP not a doctor who is just going to write scripts and not even listen. I read reviews and had high hopes for her. Boy was I disappointed!
Worst bed side manor I have ever seen with a doctor. Appointments were impossible and staff was disrespectful
The computers went down.my appt was canceled. The number has changed. Help. Can anyone help me out here.
I really like Dr. Linton, she has been spot on in diagnosing me and she is very kind and listens to what I have to say. So far, so good.
She has moved and I wish I could find her again.
She is not dependable, has trouble adhering to the truth, does not address her own personal issues so how could she ever help anyone else. Seek her for help only if you want to worsen your situation.
Very intelligent and accurate. She is in great demand and that is why she is busy
She negatively challenged me after I complained her staffer was ineffective. The staffer waited days before notifying my pharmacist it was OK to refill my prescription. Linton said it was not true. No benefit of the doubt. No professionalism. Little civility. My business went elsewhere.
I do not recommend. I was out of a vital medication. She would not cooperate. Made me wait two months in order to meet with her at which time she would have provided a prescription. I had to find another psychiatrist. It was a sad regrettable lack of compassion and professionalism. Perhaps a medical ethics violation. I will seek the opinion of a lawyer.
Dr. Linton is a very professional and personable psychiatrist. A very proficient doctor.
She made me feel comfortable and really seemed to care about the issues I am going through. I am thoroughly satisfied.
I always wait over an hour, sometimes two hours. She double and triple books her appointment slots which are only 15 minutes apart anyway.

Man faces counts of false swearingApril 25,2014Man faces counts
of false swearing
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION A Rockingham man faces felon charges in connection with a $90,000 fire insurance check issued to his father, who killed himself last summer.
Christopher Chico, 26, pleaded innocent this week in White River Junction criminal court to two counts of false swearing. He was released personal recognizance.
Chicos late father, Gregory, was 48 when he killed himself last August, police said. His home on Route 103 in Rockingham was gutted by fire in July 2011, police said, and hed had trouble depositing the insurance check because it also needed the signature of his estranged wife.
Police said the improperly endorsed check was allowed to be deposited at One Credit Union in Springfield in November 2011 based on Gregory Chicos false statements to bank employees. He immediately withdrew the $90,000 and put it in a different bank, police said.
The insurance company refused to honor the check, police said, and an employee at One Credit Union was eventually fired for allowing the deposit in violation of policy.
Christopher Chicos charges are based on misrepresentations in a sworn statement when he became administrator of his fathers estate, police said.
He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.MORE IN This Just In

Sorry, no image is available of this object
Technique and condition
One small screen-printed square ceramic tile measuring 153 x 153 x 6 mm and weighing: 0.212 kg. This tile is a square version of T11766 and T11767 which are both round tiles.
Hamilton Finlay's images for the series of seventeen tiles were executed by commercial ceramic companies, either H&R Johnson or Hereford tiles. This tile was press moulded with a manufacturer's inscription 'P C MADE IN ENGLAND ' between the ridged pattern on the unglazed reverse of the tile. The front of the tile was glazed cream and over glazed with the screen printed design. The red screen printed circle which extends to almost touch each side of the tile, is overprinted with the purple outlined imagery and text. The polychrome screen-printed tile may then have been fired again or alternatively, glazing inks, which can adhere to a glossy fired surface, may have been used.
Small dirty marks in the bottom left and the top right corners of the tile were removed with a dampened swab.
This tile can be displayed either wall hung, flat in a vitrine, alone, or in conjunction with others in the series of tiles.

A Self-Inflicted Practical Joke
I'd like it to be known that when either my daughter or I are certified the winner of Tuesday's third-largest-ever, $355 million lottery drawing, for which we bought four chances Monday afternoon, we're planning to give much of it away. While I often feel as if I'm drowning in college loans, and still can't believe my paycheck after taxes is this small, I realize I'm in better shape than many. At least I have a job.
If I take the lump-sum payment, which I heard some local TV anchors say was $90 million but is actually about $224 million, there's really no reason why I shouldn't be able to give half of it away and live comfortably off the other half.
I'd still have to fly commercial and wouldn't have the disposable income to go toe-to-toe at auction against Ronald Lauder if we both wanted the same Klimt. But I could afford to fix our '97 CR-V once and for all.
As a rule I don't play the lottery. Tuesday's was an exception. I believe the possibility of untold, undeserved riches first appeared on the family's radar Christmas Eve, when my brother-in-law bought us lottery tickets as stocking stuffers. None of us won anything, but simply believing in the possibility was well worth the $1 investment.
The odds of getting into Harvard are better, even, than winning the measly $10 sixth prize.
I don't play the numbers for several reasons, arrogance foremost among them. As remote as my chances of striking it rich in my chosen profession (particularly journalism at this moment in human history), penning a best-seller still feels more probable than winning New York's Mega Millions. The odds against that, according to the New York State Lottery's own website, are 176 million to one. To put it in perspective, the odds of getting into Harvard are better, even, than winning the measly $10 sixth prize, which is 844 to one.
Another reason I don't gamble is because I'm a sore loser. I take it personally. I don't recall ever winning anything—and I mean anything—but when, on rare occasion, I play and lose I feel akin to a small child when somebody plays a practical joke on him. Someone else could lose 50 bucks at blackjack and walk away; I'd hate myself for the rest of the day. Gambling feels like playing a practical joke on myself.
I could probably be a bit more of a risk taker. Years ago I did a piece about Caesar's Palace. I flew to their resorts all over the country—Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, Atlantic City—and didn't cozy up to a single roulette table or even stick a quarter into a one-armed bandit. It wouldn't have hurt for the sake of the story. Not that my experience would have been synonymous with those of the high rollers I was writing about. They routinely bet thousands on a single roll of the dice, and were happily compensated by management in the form of questionably tasteful luxury suites with Champagne-glass-shaped hot tubs, four-star meals and Rolls-Royces. I don't mean free limo service from the airport; I mean actual gift cars.
The reason, of course, is that the odds are always in the house's favor. Sooner or later, you'll pay it all back.
I suppose that if I have any philosophy of life, it's to do the hundred infinitesimal things that arise every day that you do have some control over, and to turn those odds in your favor—in essence, to become "the house." Walk to work to avoid getting stuck in a cab; take the time to notice the sky; thank the driver when you get off the bus. Admittedly, they don't provide the dopamine rush of your first IPO or an Oscar, but the hangover if you lose isn't as crushing, either.
I most feel like sharing these negligible insights with my fellow New Yorkers when I'm standing on line behind them at a newsstand and they're playing their birthdays, their parents' birthdays, their child's birthday, their dog's birthday as lottery numbers. There ought to be some system, sort of like express lanes at supermarkets or priority check-ins at airports, where those of us who want to buy a magazine or a pack of gum don't have to loiter around while they indulge their get-rich-quick fantasies.
Many of us, especially in this beleaguered economy, might be tempted to believe that the odds are stacked against us, whatever our careers. That the opportunity to strike it rich playing the lottery isn't any less reasonable than trying to raise yourself by your bootstraps in the old Horatio Alger tradition. But to spend so much of your hard-earned cash on an outcome over which you have no control? Rare, it seems, is the customer who buys just one ticket.
My hope is that whoever wins the jackpot uses the money well.
Watching on the news as the winner poses with his or her oversize check is unfortunately what keeps suckers returning week after week. For the rest of us, the vicarious thrill of their happiness should be reward enough. Just so long as you didn't spend more than two bucks on your ticket.

Last week I attended the Informa Service Oriented Architecture. In addition to presenting, I also had the pleasure of chairing the second day of the conference which basically involved introducing the day, keeping the other speakers to the scheduled time and most interesting was moderating the panel discussion.
The thing I liked most about this conference was the broad representation and speakers that attended. In contrast to some other conferences run by analysts organisations (or vendors!), the speakers and content seemed more realistic about actual SOA progress and maturity within organisations.
Some of the speakers included architects from Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, IOOF, St. George, QBE, ANZ, Accenture and Suncorp.
Was also good to catch up with Jim Webber from Thoughtworks and Kevin Francis from Infosys who also presented.
I presented on the second day on "Working through the issues of SOA implementation". The slide deck can be found here (note 5.8 Mb file). This presentation was pretty much based on Ron Jacobs content of Patterns and Anti-patterns of SOA.

I'm new to WordPress and want to incorporate it in my idea for a portfolio site. For my site, I want to set up an accordion for my basic about me, portfolio, contact, etc. pages. My original idea was to keep all of that separate, and then for my blog I want to start up, just open WordPress.
However, the other day I was informed that WordPress has accordion plugins. So my question for anyone who can answer this is can WordPress have a page with a logo at the top, accordions below of all of my sections, and then the actual blog content only in one of the accordion sections? Basically I'd want it to look similar to the following rough sketch:

Odom named

The Rev. John L. Odom has been named associate pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Blythe Street, Henderson-ville.
A native of Georgia, Odom received a degree in religion at Davidson College and a master of divinity at Union Seminary in New York City. He was ordained by the Presbytery of Long Island and served as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Oceanside, N.Y. for six years.
He relocated to Fairview in May 1996 when his wife, the Rev. Emily Odom accepted a call as associate director for communications and public relations at Montreat Conference Center. He worked as stay-at-home dad to his two children, Nathaniel and Elizabeth, and was part time parish associate at First Presbyterian Church, Asheville, until called as solo pastor of West Asheville Presbyterian Church in September 1997.
Odom will begin duties at Trinity Presbyterian Church March 15. Installation services are planned for April 14.

Utah, BYU football: Brothers sit on different sides of rivalry — almost
"I get to hear all of both sides because I have a lot of friends who are Y. fans and U. fans," Austin said. "They have zero idea about the kind of people that they're talking about when they start saying bad things. When people say things about my brother, I defend him with everything I've got. I go crazy. They have no idea of what they're really saying. They just don't realize that it's a human being they're talking about. I think this rivalry is kind of getting out of hand. When you can't wear blue to the U.'s stadium, it's pretty bad. The same the other way around. I took a friend who was wearing a Utah shirt (to LaVell Edwards Stadium) and they heckled him pretty good."
Question is, what will Austin be wearing Saturday?
"I've painted up for most of the BYU-Utah games. I usually paint red and I write 'Rich 22' on my back, so I feel like I'm touching all my bases," he said. "But as I've gotten to know quite a few of the (BYU) players, I realize that BYU isn't as bad as we all pretend it is. It made me a lot more neutral, for sure. I'm probably going to be in a coat and keep quiet. I imagine I'll be wearing a red scarf."
What color does Andrew think Austin will be wearing Saturday? "That depends if he has a shirt on or not. If he has a shirt on, it'll probably be painted," Andrew said. "A couple of years ago, he had a black '22' painted on his body, which wasn't really courageous because they probably thought the '22' was for Utah. I don't know this year. I would advise him not to wear any blue just because it's going to cause him nothing but conflict. I really don't care what he wears. But I know who he's cheering for deep down inside."
Austin's ideal finish for Saturday's game would involve his brother having a great individual game, but Utah winning.
"Either way, I'm probably going to go to the Las Vegas Bowl, whether the Y. goes there or the U. goes there," he said. "I'm going to try to make it to both bowl games. Now you're seeing the conflict in me. It's hard for me to take a side."
Just don't tell anybody in the MUSS.

Photo-Op: Eternal Lee
She was a Vogue model, inspiring incandescent pictures from the likes of Edward Steichen and George Hoyningen-Huene. Her beauty was just as inspiring to the high Modernists—Picasso painted her, and Jean Cocteau cast her as a modern-day Galatea in 'The Blood of a Poet' (1930). Yet Lee Miller was more than muse. She was an important photographer in her own right—and, in collaboration with her lover Man Ray, a truly inventive artist. 'Man Ray/Lee Miller: Partners in Surrealism (Merrell, 156 pages, $39.95) shows the fruits of their brilliant and tempestuous five-year affair. We see them photographing the same subject or conducting parallel experiments. But it was when she posed for him (as above) that Man Ray created his finest images. Her form, her lips, her eyes, her face recurred throughout his work for decades after their romance ended. She haunts us still.

So chocolaty and fudgy! The ganache was my favorite part. I had a bit of time mixing the butter in by hand so the cake did end up a bit crunchy with butter not quite mixed in. I did use a 9in cheesecake pan.
This is without a doubt the BEST chocolate truffle cake I've ever had. However, I had such a time getting the cake out of the pan that I nearly destoyed it. I double lined my pan, per a previous reviewers suggestion, but still had a heck of a time getting the cake to release. I plan to make it in the springform pan next time.
amazing chocolate cake, this is a dense rich slice of chocolate heaven, a chocolate lover's dream dessert and one i will make again very soon, thanks for posting LifeIsGood, this was made for KK's Chef's Pick forum game
"My life is forever changed" is how one guest commented on this fabulous dessert. It was so amazingly chocolate-y and rich. I've never had so many compliments on a recipe; I will be making this again and again. I made this from 2Bleu's book #231450, and this one is going into my 2009 faves! The directions were a little problematic for me; I wasn't sure why this would be either 1 hr 15 minutes or 1 hr 30 minutes, as there is no description of when it is done. Also, mine was completely glued to the pan (the directions don't say when to remove from the pan). Next time I will try 2 layers of parchment paper to see if one layer will release from the other. I had to pry it out of the pan, but once we frosted with the ganache it still looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!
I made this awhile back to see if it was something I could make for Valentine's day, and it was a chocolate lovers dream cake! What an awesome find! I made following the recipe and wouldn't change a thing! Yum yum!! Thank you!
This recipe made it into our Book #231450. - 02/01/08 When you said "decadence" you weren't kidding! This is awesome. I was intrigued with the idea of a flour-less cake, and being a chocoholic... this fit the bill. I downsized the recipe to a mini-loaf pan (quartered it) and cooked in water-bath as stated. It came out quite nicely. I only cooled the ganache to syrup consistency and poured over top and then dusted it with powdered sugar for presentation... (I know, but, I couldn't wait!) It came out nice and velvety and surprisingly cake-like. Thank you for this luxurious treat! ~Buddha
Oh, yes, this one is definitely for me! The tast of all that chocolate is like . . . well, it's GREAT! Next time I'd love to have this served with some kind of fresh berries, whether strawberry or raspberry or . . . Was gonna share this with some neighbors, but didn't ~ Kept is all right here at home! Thanks so much for sharing your great recipe! [Made & reviewed as a kidnapped recipe in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #16]

Home-builder Stocks Show Early Weakness 0 comments
The home-builder stocks are now on everyone's radar. These stocks have soared since the stock market bottomed on October 4, 2011. The home-builder stocks have gone from laggard to leader as almost every talking head in the financial media continues to call for a low in the housing market.
This morning, the leading home-builder stocks are all trading lower to start the day. Toll Brothers Inc (NYSE:TOL) is considered the best of the home-builder stocks since it caters to the high income client. The stock has pulled back since February 21, 2012 when the stock traded as high as $24.22 a share. Short term traders can watch for intra-day support around the $22.35 and $22.00 levels. The daily chart of TOL will have decent support around the $21.50 area.
Other leading home-builder stocks that are declining this morning include DR Horton Inc (NYSE:DHI), Lennar Corp (NYSE:LEN), and KB Home (NYSE:KBH). All of these stocks continue to hold up well on the daily charts at this time.

Man Charged in Case of Missing UF Student
Published: Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, September 29, 2012 at 10:43 p.m.
Pedro Bravo has been formally charged with first-degree murder in the case of a missing University of Florida student during his first court appearance.
The state argued Saturday that Bravo should be charged with murder because he previously said he beat 18-year-old Christian Aguilar until he was bloody, swollen and barely breathing.
Gainesville Police said they discovered Aguilar's backpack hidden in a suitcase in Bravo's closet and blood stains throughout Bravo's car.
The Miami Herald reported Bravo stared straight-faced into the jail camera during the proceedings. He was denied bail.
Police said Aguilar was last seen Sept. 20 at a Best Buy store with Bravo.
Police think they may have been fighting over a girl.
A massive search for Aguilar continues.

2016 Boston Marathon Recap!
I don't post here every day but I share my running and other daily happenings on instagram!
I have so much to say about the entire weekend, but will try to focus just on the race here and save the rest of the weekend for another post!
My nutrition stayed the same for most of the week. I tried to not deviate too much from it – so I ate the same, had popcorn and wine at night and snacked like I normally do – when I felt like it.
I started increasing carbs Friday night – pasta and a baked potato and then over Saturday and Sunday increased it a bit more (bagels as snacks, pasta for dinner Sunday evening, etc).
I also took more rest days this week than I ever have before. I talked about how I felt off in my last post – and so I tried to take as much time off and focus on sleep and nutrition so that I could feel good on race day.
But I think the increase in carbs coupled with the decrease in running made me feel really tired and lethargic as the weekend went on. I had spent 4 months of running almost every day – and I think going from that to virtually no running for 8 days was not the best decision. I've already made a mental note to not do either as much as I did this cycle.

I love hiking. Ellensburg is situated in the middle of some great hiking. Within 30 min you can be hiking in a desert, pine forests, or high alpine environments.Best advice for a new student at Central?
Go to class. Really, it is too easy to fall behind if you fail to do this one thing.

Putting GPS data on maps
Perl hackers take to the hills with a navigation system that provides a graphical rendering of a hiking tour.
Hiking with a navigation system is much more fun. A portable GPS device not only gives you your current position, but it can also tell you your altitude or the distance to a waypoint. Based on this data, the GPS device can also tell you your walking speed, the distance you have covered, and an estimated time of arrival. What's more, once you get back home you can attach your GPS device to your PC, download the data you collected en route, and map the hike. Although the "eTrex" GPS receiver by Garmin is a low-budget device for beginners, it is perfect for the occasional hiker. The eTrex, which costs about 120 Euros (US$ 99 in the US), is handy, waterproof, and so robust that it will survive knocks and bumps without damage. To hitch up the eTrex GPS to your PC back home, you need a special interface cable that connects the eTrex to your computer's serial port. The official cable for the eTrex is quite expensive (at about 25 Euros, US$ 32, GBP 17), and this explains the project at [3], which helps you do it yourself. I must confess that I was lazy this time: I just bought it.

When students read More's Utopia, the first thing they learn is that the name is coined from the Greek for 'no-place', or 'no-where'. The second thing they usually learn is that the name Hythloday means 'peddler of nonsense'. From this spring two responses: either that the tale is fraudulent, and More expects us to ridicule it, or that More wants to publicly disavow the tale to avoid political controversy.
I think both interpretations miss something: that though the tale is fictional, its fiction isn't supposed to matter. Words are hollow in Utopia, and communication rarely occurs as planned. Messages get lost; topics of argument are forgotten. But that's okay, because the real value of words isn't in their center, in the semantics of the message, but on their edges in some fashion – the digressions they lead to; their accidental consequences; the marginalia of a book; as philosophical thought-experiments; where they end up rather than where they were intended to lead.
In this model, it doesn't matter if the original message was a falsehood, because the message's ultimate value was never in what it meant to begin with. In fact, I'll eventually argue that to read the name 'Utopia' as signifying the work's fiction is itself a kind of paradox. This will become clearer later.

Himeni by fabiolagarzaWatch
©2008-2016 fabiolagarza
For one of my classes we have to produce artwork that would go well on products, so of course I went with Hawaiian mermaids. I don't know the image would actually sell, but she was fun to draw.
My new favorite mermaid design. I'd love to see more like this from the fantasy art community.
She is so adorable! A Hawaiian mermaid is a very neat idea!
I love the colors! Gives it an exotic feel.
For some reason 'Himeni' sounds more Japanese to me than Hawaiian.
such an exotic new idea,I love it,hope there will be more coming up
Beautiful!!~ So gorgeous! I love the colors, and her hair..!
So nice
very beautiful. i love the colours of her tail.
Oh, I love the colours! It brightened my (already terrible) day. I love your line quality...

Background: I am building a new Multi-site web presence at http://bishopstoneandhintonparva.org/ and I am a seasoned techie but WordPress newbie.
I have one slider that opens up my home page (above) that works just fine. I have a second slider that I have inserted into a text widget in the sidebar that worked perfectly for a while but now does not work and displays the slider short code as text instead.
The only change that i made that may have impacted this behaviour is I desinstalled and deleted another slider plug-in that I had not found to be acceptable. The plug-in I desinstalled and deleted was
the Promotion Slider (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/promotion-slider/).
Any guidance to get this second sidebar slider working again would be very much appreciated.

Hey, I'm Chris!
East Hampton, New York, United States · Member since July 2012
I'm originally from England. Jet skiing up through the bays in the late 90s, I came upon Sag Harbor. Despite being in a wet suit unlike the other guests who were very smart, Ted Conklin of the American Hotel gave me a great table outside, and had a very enjoyable lunch. I fell in love with the Hamptons that day, and by the end of the year had bought a house. Being in an area surrounded by water on three sides, special light, the superb restaurants, swimming in ocean/bays/pool, the vineyards, the neatly nail clipped lawns, it's so incredibly relaxing.

Cons: Was an issue with my bank but they handled it fast and quick
After months of deciding whether to replace the factory radio, I went and purchase a Kenwood from here. This was the only kit available but at a great price compared to other sites and retail stores.
Pros: Extremely easy to install.
Cons: Would rather prefer a kit with the OEM black buttons.
I thought the buttons would be black, instead a light grey color. Fits in my 2006 G35 Coupe. Silver finish does not match perfectly with original, but the difference is not noticeable. Overall I would recommend. If you have extra cash, go for the brushed aluminum finish.
Cons: Light grey buttons
Fit and finish is good enough, its not metal, nor is it $300. Great fit on 2007 G35 coupe
perfect fit and trim color
I just had the system installed in my 2005 G35x Infiniti and I love it.
Cons: Not too easy to use
No problems, works as advertises. Only problem I saw was to read the fine print on the "brushed aluminum", its not really metal. No other option.
Pros: Good fit, controls work fine
Cons: Not real aluminum, matches close enough, but would like to have to option of real metal to match the other interior trim
Unit is super expensive, even with purchase of a stereo through Crutchfield, changes all of your buttons and dials to a cheap feeling plasticky buttons, and does not fit quite perfect, (even after a few tries) the bottom of this panel is not flush with the panel beneath. If you are looking to put an aftermarket stereo into a G35x you are more or less stuck with this, but, dont go getting your hopes up that this will be a perfect fit or match to your interior. The "Brushed Aluminum" is in fact plastic and does not match the factory appearance of my dash panels very well at all (as they are Actually Aluminum)
Pros: I was able to mount an aftermarket stereo
Cons: Plastic, does not fit or look like factory, incredibly expensive
I went with the standard silver model, unit looks good, buttons function well but they need to do a better job to match the original fit and finish.
Pros: Does the job
Cons: Better fit and finish
Where do I start.... First of all the buttons are gray and feel "cheep" the color of the adapter is not a good match. This is not something that complements the G35 at all. but if you want a after market radio you just half to suck it up and get it.
Pros: Great customer service from Crutchfield.
Cons: The buttons are the wrong color, They were grey and should have been black, and they feel spongy, Color of the adapter did not match my factory console, and looks very cheep, Metra dropped the ball on this one big time.
Installed in a 2006 Infiniti G35 with Bose/Nav. First of all, I can openly admit that I am not experienced in audio installations, but I did this pretty easily with only a couple minor problems. I was able to do this b/c Crutchfield is AWESOME! The directions they give you are extremely helpful, hats off to the tech writers there! There were a few issues I had questions with but they were all answered VERY quickly by Crutchfield's Customer Support (which are amazing, seriously a 10/10). The product itself is a well-made product. Not perfect. The color match isn't a 100% match but it's extremely close. Maybe a 90% match. I got the "brushed aluminum finish." The worst part about this would be the buttons color (which don't match the black at all) but it really doesn't make a huge deal to me. All of the functions still work perfect. **This has nothing to do with this kit, but if you are putting a new head unit in and you have the pop up navigation, there are a few additional steps to separate the nav from the stock headunit/harness. There are 3 or 4 screws on each side of the medal casing that holds the stock head unit in place. I thought I had them all out and got really frustrated when it still didn't come out. You have to plug the nav in, pop the nav up, and there is a hidden screw behind the arms of the nav. It's hard to explain but you will see when you take it apart. Common sense should take over**
Pros: Fits good, everything works,
Cons: Buttons
Bought to use after buying new stereo. Didn't fit exactly but it works. Wish it had the same quality buttons as the OEM shroud.
Pros: Works
Cons: Low quality buttons Kind of fits
Works great .ac controls work perfect
Pros: Works great
Cons: A little different color on the brushed finish Acceptable 90% but not perfect
It works and even though that's the most important part I would have done more research to find one with better climate control Buttons. These are horrible. It completely takes away the luxury feel/appearance of the car. I was so disappointed after having it installed. To the point that if the car had these originally, I would have never bought it...I hate it that much!
Pros: works
Cons: Hate the look
I'm rating the adpater kit as almost excellent because of the fact that I had to make slight cuts near the mounting brackets with my Dremel in order for it to fit flush and perfect (without wide seams). The wiring interface and button controls all work perfectly. Does is look exactly the same as the original? NO, but it's more than good enough for me. In fact, no one who has gotten innto my car has even noticed that it's a non-OEM piece. What they do notice is that I have a very nice stereo installed and the excellent sound that it puts out. So, for me the benefits of the new stereo is more than an acceptable trade-off. If I didn't have to make the custom cuts to the adapter I would have given it a 5-star rating.
Pros: - All buttons and controls work perfectly. - Looks very close to the OEM piece. - Wiring and connections instructions were clear and accurate. - Quality of contruction appears to be up to OEM standards.
Cons: - Customization / cutting was required to the kit for perfect fit.
I agree with all the adverse comments from other reviewers. But I'm giving it four stars because it allowed a head unit replacement that would otherwise be impossible (or require a custom-built panel). I believe there are two finishes available: brushed aluminum and silver. I got the brushed aluminum. Even though the surface is painted plastic, it comes pretty close to the factory metal surface in most lighting conditions. (The difference grows in low-angle lighting, but is still OK.) They get the "brushed" texture by brush painting the thing in one direction. It works, although the brush strokes are a little more curvy than the OEM metal texture. Yeah, the buttons were disappointing. Nowhere near the stiffness and crisp detent of the originals. Their choice of a grayish color (vice original black) for the buttons is inexplicable, although it ends up looking pretty good, strangely, with my beige leather and brown dash. It's made entirely of plastic, so you can't afford to put any stress on it... you'll break it if you try to use screw tension to pull in a not-quite-fitting head unit bracket. The gap between my JVC and the opening is a little wider than I'd like, but not bad enough to correct. I had absolutely no problem getting it into the dash, with no gaps. I suspect some folks might have put the other panels in slightly askew. So: Lots to not like here, but there's no other choice and it does the job.
Pros: It works; finish is a decent match; huge discount from Crutchfield.
Cons: Finish isn't a perfect match; cheap buttons; buttons gray instead of black; loss of temp dial, replaced with up/down buttons; dubious plastic construction.
Fit and finish leaves something to be desired, both matching with the finish (brushed) and the matching of the depth (off 1/16"). Only option to install an aftermarket off the shelf kit that I found.
Pros: Allows to easily drop in aftermarket head unit
Cons: Fit and finish
I knew what I was getting based on reviews at enthusiast forums like 6MT.com and G35driver.com....and they were right. It works well enough but looks very aftermarket, the grey buttons look faded, like they came out of an abandoned car out in the desert, and the tactile feel is very sloppy...the fit is fairly poor, and the aluminum finish is a poor match for the stock Infiniti interior trim. But hey, it was half off with the purchase of a radio, and it was in stock. Oh, and a 1/8" gap at the bottom (with Pioneer AVIC-X940BT) that needed to be filled.
Pros: It works. Half off the price with the purchase of a radio. And it was in stock.
Cons: Looks and feel very aftermarket, ugly buttons, poor switch feel, color and finish is a poor match to factory Infiniti trim. 1/8" bottom gap with Pioneer DD X940BT installed.
not bad with the unit attached, but vary simple looking. more style for the price would be appreciated. i mean its literally just a small piece of thin plastic
Really, an excellent replacement. Out the box, I was concerned because it was plastic that was painted. After installed, it matched so well that all my fears were gone. Climate control works great. Wish the button were black.
Pros: Great fit. looks good when installed.
Cons: buttons on the ac should be black instead of grey.
Miss OEM Controls.
Pros: Brushed aluminum kinda matches. Double din AppRadio 2 fixes and works great.
Cons: Buttons are tacky. Buttons are grey not black. Different font type. No temp knob.
Unless a new stereo is a must, I would not recommend this. For the full price it's pretty much a ripoff. You could get it for half price if you purchase the stereo through crutchfield, but you can get same stereos at less cost elsewhere. Overall a little dissatisfied with the buttons.
Pros: Aluminum matches the trim nicely, install pretty easy
Cons: The buttons look too tacky compared to the original
Not very happy with this product. Crutchfield advisors said that it was a perfect match to my existing trim, even though my existing trim is Billet Aluminum, and this item was a painted silver plastic. Crutchfield has always been great, just not too happy this time.
Cons:Crutchfield response on August 22, 2012 We now offer a brushed aluminum style kit as well: 120957605A
Is good.
Fit and finish is below average. Doesn't match the rest of the din kit for the hvac controls. Dome paint chip. Doesn't fit clarion system without a little bit of a gap.

DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say a Decatur city court clerk
has been arrested and charged with felony theft.
Assistant City Manager Andrea Arnold said in a statement Friday
that the suspect, 37-year-old Sonequa James, has been suspended
without pay and that her termination is pending.
Officials say James has worked for the city since 2006.
Arnold said in the statement that city officials intend to
prosecute James to the fullest extent possible under the law.
Jail records state that James has been booked into the DeKalb
County Jail and is charged with theft by taking. The records say
the charge stems from an incident on Feb. 7.

This is the upper outside of the invitation as it appears when closed. The blue waves of the card were hand-cut and folded to reveal the boat from the interior of the card, appearing to sit atop the waves. Printed colors are quite vivid.
I was particularly proud of the anchor as ampersand!

Momentum: New Dance Works
The second week of the Walker Art Center's annual summer series featuring up-and-coming choreographers pairs up two gutsy movers: Eddie Oroyan and Anna Marie Shogren. Oroyan, who has performed locally with Mathew Janczewski, Carl Flink, Shapiro & Smith, and Zenon, gets some serious air when he jumps and cites Bruce Lee, Gene Kelly, and comic-book hero the Flash as heroes. His new work "Brown Rocket" chronicles a wild rollercoaster ride of a relationship with a woman he met through Craigslist, set to pop and rock music by Joshua Wetjen. Oroyan's partner onstage is Laura Selle-Virtucio, one of the most versatile dancers in town and among the few who can match her choreographer's boundless energy. Shogren's "I'm a Jerk" has a similar crazy energy, although the source is what she describes as "over-the-top, cartoonish death imagery." A veteran of collaborations with Shawn McConneloug, Morgan Thorson, Karen Sherman, and Laurie van Wieren, Shogren peppers her work with quirks, but there's nothing glib or random about it. Instead, she's one of the smartest dancers in town who fills her pieces with curiosity and a winning touch of self-deprecation. For tickets call the Walker Art Center at 612.375.7600 or visit www.walkerart.org.

I have just bought 60 meters of CAT6e cables, sold as "4 pair UTP RJ45".
I have looked at various videos on Youtube but I cannot determine the correct wiring. all the colors of the cable I saw there are different from mine. Mine is untwisted, and it is not color coded. I have 8 pin connectors all of a single color.
How should I wire this cable?

deliciously sensual
Reviewed: 19 June 2016 by fairyprincess, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I bought this as part of the Valentine's massage pack.
My partner and I absolutely loved this massage candle.
It has brought intimacy to a whole new level - i.e. sensual massages after a hot bath after a stressful days work. It also smells absolutely sublime and totally edible!
They also add a bit of spice if you like hot and cold play.
Definitely recommend.
- Pros
- I loved the fragrance and the allure it created, felt like drizzling warm honey.
- Cons
- Nothing. I love these candles.
- Bottom line
- Kinky sensual yummy goodness!

Absolutely Heavenly
Reviewed: 19 April 2016 by RosyCheek, a Straight Married Female
This wee beauty fits through the letterbox in its discreet jiffy bag no problem. It didn't matter I wasn't home when the postie arrived and no trekking to the sorting office. Brilliant!
I ordered this after browsing the 3 for £10 offer. I had never even heard of a massage candle, let alone a lickable one! Myself and my husband enjoy a massage, not just sensual ones, but also ones to help us relax at the end of a tough day. I get terrible back pain from hunching over my desk all day, and usually, we stick to the same product, so the change was welcome!
The candle looks just like any other scented candle, there's nothing that makes it stand out as a massage candle so it can sit out without a second thought. It smells amazing! It's not the usual overly sweet synthetic vanilla scent but more of a vanilla biscuit one. It reminded me of the Danish cookies I get at Christmas time. Delicious!
On lighting it, the scent filled the room very quickly and the wax melted quicker than expected. We were both slightly nervous about using it first, we had never tried anything that was pain for pleasure before. I was brave and made my husband get the first massage. The wax pours really easily, I was concerned it may all spill out at once but it pours so smoothly. He didn't even flinch. It was a wonderfully slick oil, made a deep tissue massage easy work. He said it felt better than our usual product! We then swapped over and I got a massage. The wax was a lovely temperature, not scalding hot like I thought but just like a warmed up massage oil! He was right it did feel better than our usual product! I thought it may have a sticky feeling afterwards but our skin was so soft!
We tried a sensual massage with it too. We licked it off each other but, unfortunately, neither of us were keen on the taste. It's not unpleasant, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it again. It smells so much nicer than it tastes.
The candle solidifies after it cools down and can be reused until its empty. It's currently sitting on my husband's bedside unit and makes our bedroom smell great even when it's not lit.
This is a fantastic item, anyone who enjoys a massage needs one! There's definitely at least another use in it which is surprising as it looks small but a little goes a long way! It's excellent value and we will definitely be buying other scents in the future!
- Pros
- Delicious smell. Warm sensation. Slick oil.
- Cons
- Not the greatest taste in the world but not bad.
- Bottom line
- It's a must-have! Best purchase so far without a doubt!

Fantastic so sexy
Reviewed: 17 April 2016 by reviewname, a Straight Going Steady Female
Bought as a stocking-filler of sorts on the 3 for £10 offer as I had one thing left and we'd already experimented with normal candles (for pain, not licking or massaging).
This candle was by far the best thing in the bundle. It smells great, tastes pretty good and was super sexy!
The dripping wax was actually not as hot seeming as it had been with a normal candle, which we both preferred (we were never after loads of pain, just a little to be exciting/mischievous).
The oil stayed liquid once on the skin - I was worried it would reset upon cooling, but it didn't.
Actually the best massage oil we've used, and the candle is small enough to not be intimidating. Pouring the wax is easy too, because the top is ridged so you have more control. It was easy to drip small amounts all over/dribble it.
- Pros
- Tastes good, good temperature, cheeky, smells good.
- Cons
- Could've been a little bigger - it's lasted four 'sessions'.
- Bottom line
- Must-have for couples.

The servers are immediate incarnations of that gorgeous women in exotic garb who seem to drift through the dining room. The slender, mainly Asian staff may have you speechless, but don't fret they're also helpful in describing menu items and, if asked, will give you their own (sometimes strong) opinions. We love women who aren't afraid to speak their minds which are, we're sure, just as beautiful as their exteriors.

I associated .nsi files with a text editor recently, and as a result lost all of the special NSIS context menu options for, eg., "Compile NSIS Script". How can I get them back?
Thanks to a post on the NSIS forums, I learned that when you associate a file extension manually, Explorer creates a registry key that overrides the system settings for that extension. In the case of NSIS files, this key is:
If you delete that key, you will lose your text editor association but regain the context menu items after restarting Explorer.
there's also a script for that

Willingness to help out and work as a team leads to a good workplace environment.
Not a big fan of the rotational program, as it seems like a waste of time when one already knows what they want to do.
Great work/life balance can lead to a different banking experience than most.

A Digitally Direct Driven Dynamic-Type Loudspeaker
If the speaker can be driven digitally, it becomes possible to perform all processes from the input to the output digitally without analog components such as a power amplifier, and a small, light, and high-quality speaker system can be achieved. In this paper, we propose a basic idea of Digital-Speaker and a digital-driven dynamic-type loudspeaker that provided with multiple-voice coils employing multi-bit delta-sigma modulation. The piezo-electric-speaker, which was utilized in previous paper, is replaced with the voice coil. The prototype implemented with a FPGA, CMOS drivers, and dynamic-type loudspeaker. THD and SPL are about 0.42% and 104dB, and the output power is 1W even when power supply is 1V.

I have upgraded my WordPress weblog to meet 1.2-epsilon-RC1 two days ago. But I noticed that after the change my RSS 2.0 feed, located at http://danielsantos.f2o.org/brain/feed/rss2/ ceased validating, according to Feed Validator at:
The validator service points out two problems: First, my pubDate should be an RFC-822 compliant date. I run my blog in Brazilian Portuguese, and I suspect this could be related to abbreviated dates: Here in Brazil, Apr becomes Abr, May becomes Mai, and so on.
Second, I have a category named "Fala Sério", and this used to be fine until WP-1.0.2. I use ISO-8859-1 encoding, and I'm receiving an undefined entity I'm not being able to figure out, as I'm no XML specialist.
Problem is I don't know what configurations should be changed. I know some PHP, so, if someone could point me the directions/give me suggestions, I would be very grateful for your feedback. Thank you very much.
