A large number of microbes actually live in the Earth's upper atmosphere, thriving eight to 15 kilometers above the planet's surface, according to a new study published today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (1). The authors now believe these tropospheric microorganisms may be playing a significant role in the planet's hydrological cycle, cloud formation, and climate.
"No one had really measured what was up there before.…You can speculate all you want, but if you don't go up there to measure, you don't really know," said study author Athanasios Nenes, a professor at the Georgia Tech School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
Using the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) DC-8 aircraft, Nenes and colleagues collected particle samples before, during, and after tropical storm hurricanes Earl and Karl in both cloudy and cloud-free air masses.
The team collected air particles outside the DC-8 aircraft using a special sample tube and filter system. Once deposited on the filters, the particle samples were frozen and brought back to the team's lab where the group analyzed the samples using microscopy, PCR, and DNA sequencing to determine the number and species of bacteria in the sample.
The group found that bacteria averaged about 20% of the total particles in the 0.25–1-m diameter range. Overall, the researchers identified 17 different bacterial taxa, some of which are known to metabolize organic compounds present in the atmosphere that affect cloud chemistry. In addition, more than 60% of the bacteria studied were alive. "We were definitely not expecting that," said Nenes.
His team is currently using metagenomics to understand which genes allow these bacteria to survive at such high altitudes. "We're looking into the metagenome, and trying to see all the genes that are present and detect whether there is a strong presence of anti-stress genes like the ones that are used to fight UV exposure or the ones that help combat the stress of low humidity," explained Nenes.
For now, Nenes says there are still many more tests to be done to measure the effect of the bacterial particles on the clouds and climate. "We still haven't quantified their impact on ice nucleation, but we do know for sure that whenever you have particles that are insoluble in water—and bacteria do not dissolve in water spontaneously—they would interact with water when they form ice at those high altitudes. But quantitatively we just need to carry out some experiments in the lab."

TORONTO (AP) — DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Rudy Gay had 19 points and nine rebounds, and the Toronto Raptors routed the Boston Celtics 114-90 on Wednesday night, finishing their season with five straight wins.
Jonas Valanciunas scored 18 points, Alan Anderson had 16 and Kyle Lowry had nine points and eight assists as the Raptors matched their longest winning streak of the season. Toronto also won five straight from Feb. 8-19.
The Raptors went 30-29 after starting the season 4-19.
Jordan Crawford scored 16 points, Terrence Williams had 12 and Avery Bradley 11 for the playoff-bound Celtics, who wrapped up the regular season by losing sixth of their final nine games.
Wearing a black stripe on their jerseys, the Celtics played for the first time since Monday's bomb attack near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Players from both teams gathered at midcourt before tip-off to observe a moment of silence.
Boston had not played since Saturday night at Orlando. Their Tuesday night home game against Indiana was canceled following the bombings.
Kevin Garnett (left ankle) and Jason Terry (sore leg) did not play for Boston, which is locked into the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and will meet the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.
Forward Paul Pierce, who missed Monday's practice due to illness, started for Boston but did not play in the second half. He scored 11 points in 15 minutes, going 5-for-7 from the field.
Gay scored 12 points in the first and Valanciunas added nine, but Crawford banked in a 3 at the buzzer to pull Boston to 31-30 after one quarter.
Anderson score five points as Toronto widened its lead with a 10-0 run early in the second. The Raptors led 59-49 at the half.
Celtics forward Shavlik Randolph left at halftime with a sore lower back. Randolph scored five points in 12 minutes.
Boston's Jeff Green started the second half with a jumper but the Raptors answered with a 13-0 run, including 3-pointers by Lowry and Amir Johnson, to take a commanding 72-51 lead.
DeRozan scored 15 in the third and Toronto led 96-70 heading into the final quarter.NOTES: Raptors rookie G Terrence Ross sat out for the third time in four games with a sore left ankle. ... Toronto finished 21-20 at home, its first winning record since the 2009-10 season. ... DeRozan became the first Raptors player to start all 82 games in multiple seasons. He also made 82 starts in 2010-11. ... Gay stood at midcourt to deliver a brief speech before the game, thanking fans for their support and urging them to "Get ready for next year." ... Raptors coach Dwane Casey celebrated his 56th birthday.

Not happy with my (3) vacuums
I bought (3) of these to use and keep on each floor of my house. I was tired of dragging (1) vacuum up and downs stairs.
I had to have (2) of these vacuums serviced in less than a year because the suction was completely gone. I was told they each had a cracked housing. How could I get a cracked housing from normal use? Some of the problems were not covered under Panasonic's warranty. The repair shop told me Panasonic's warranty doesn't cover all repairs. My repairs were not from abuse or neglect. Just frequent use. Obviously they lack durability. One day they just started to make a loud grinding noise and didn't pick up well. We have a very hairy German Shepherd and I vacuum a lot.
It seems that these vacuums are not as durable as the cheaper Panasonic models I have owned in the past. I also don't like how the brush "spits" crumbs and dirt around if I leave the agitator spinning on bare floors. I do this because the vacuum does not pick up stuff well on bare floors with the agitator turned off. Especially our dog's hair. My German Shepherd's hair would just build up in the agitator instead of being sucked up. When I would turn on the agitator the hair would then blow on the floor or come out on the rug where I would have to vacuum it up again.
These vacuums are a pain. I would not recommend this model. I always used Panasonic vacuums but this purchase has left me doubting their quality.
I may try a UG775 one day to replace one of my current vacuums. I hope my faith will be restored. I use to tell people to buy Panasonic Vacuums. Not anymore....

This vacuum is the best bang for the buck.It has extreme power for carpet and tools.I have this vacuum as well as the ug775.I bought this one before the other one.Yes I love panansonic.I believe that a lot of people have problems with the belt because thay arent turning the motor off before thay change settings.It says in the manual to do so.This ug589 has a simpler floor switch than the ug775.If you dont turn the motor off it is a little hard on the belt.But follow the manual and its just fine.This vacuum is light weight,compact and does an extremely good job at cleaning the carpet.Its quit and has hepa filtration.Very recommended!!

Purchased back in October and I have replaced 14 belts.
My wife has had enough she is back cleaning with our 15 year old Panasonic Vacuum.
Quality sure has changed over the past few years and we the customer are to blame, demanding lower prices on what we buy and still expect "Lexus Quality."

Had Panasonic for years . Greatest
It is so easy to push and gets up close to edges. Love the ease of the wand that I use every time I vaccum. Would not reccomend any other product for a great clean floor.

Helmut Lang Fall 2012 RTW
(photosource: style.com)
Helmut Lang Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Timeless in an eerie Lang style? I don't know. But I do know that these sharp suits will be a dream work-attire for me, and those over-the-knee suede boots are already on my lust list.
Also, I don't usually pay too much attention to what the designers wear but Nicole and Michael Colovos are looking as chic and cool as their collection, even more perhaps! I love their vibe, and this is just proof that they were made for Helmut Lang.
Other collections I love are Jason Wu and Rag & Bone. This strong presence of the color red I am finding very pleasing. Thoughts? xx
25 comments:
I liked Helmut Lang, it was a really good collection. Rag & Bone too. Jason Wu was good too but i don't know, after seeing the details pictures, i'm a little bit disappointed by what i saw during the livestream. But so far, my favorite are Hervé Leger and Prabal Gurung (even if a lot of people are seeing it's a lot Givenchy).

BigGovernment baselessly -- and predictably -- accuses progressives of trying to "steal" NJ gubernatorial race
Research ››› ››› MATT GERTZ & MORGAN WEILAND
Continuing the conservative media's pattern of baselessly accusing progressives of using illegal means to win elections, Andrew Breitbart's website BigGovernment.com suggested that New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine's re-election campaign and its allies are planning to "rig" or "steal" the upcoming election. BigGovernment.com offered no evidence to support that claim, instead offering allegations including that "state democrats are paying for robo calls supporting Independent Chris Daggett" and citing "the sudden appearance of ACORN on the scene."
Breitbart's site offered no evidence to support suggestion Corzine is planning to "steal," "rig" election
BigGovernment purported to provide "evidence" that "the fix is in." A November 1 BigGovernment post -- headlined "Will Corzine Allies Steal the Election in New Jersey? ACORN, Dirty Tricks and Absentee Ballot Fraud" -- purported to document that "the fix is in" for the New Jersey gubernatorial race and that "evidence is building that Corzine's campaign may see its only salvation is in rigging the election."
First "sign" of "rigging": BigGovernment alleged that "state democrats are paying for robo calls supporting Independent Chris Daggett." From the post:
The first sign is a straight-up dirty trick. Daggett's run for office is certainly convenient for Corzine, as he will help split any anti-Corzine vote. And, as a Corzine political appointee, one wonders if his candidacy wasn't a set up to begin with. Now, in the final days of the campaign, it appears state democrats are paying for robo calls supporting Independent Chris Daggett. First reported here, the robo calls attack Christie (but not Corzine) and promote Daggett. At the end of the call, it is mentioned that the calls are paid for by a "project of the NJSDC." No idea what that acronym stands for, but New Jersey State Democratic Committee, isn't too big of a stretch. More interesting is the fact that the return number on the calls is the same number that was used to promote Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley's election in closing days of the 2006 race. [BigGovernment.com, 11/1/09]
BigGovernment offered no explanation for how these alleged activities would constitute or lead to "steal[ing]" or "rigging" the election.
Second "sign" of "rigging": ACORN is "on the scene." From the post:
More telling that the fix is in, however, is the sudden appearance of ACORN on the scene. Not by name, mind you, as their reputation is so tarnished that even New Jersey Democrats don't want to be associated with them. No, in New Jersey ACORN sought cover behind its big brother, SEIU, specifically SEIU Local 32BJ.
The political director for the SEIU local is Peter Colavito. Just last year, he was ACORN's political director in New York, working directly under Bertha Lewis, ACORN's CEO and co-chair of ACORN-backed Working Families Party. He was, and remains, a top official and board member of the Working Families Party in New York. In fact, his wife is currently an employee of the Working Families Party. Corzine has made much of his endorsement by the SEIU local, failing to mention the union's deep ties to both ACORN and its Working Families Party in New York.
These ties are starting to appear, however. GOP officials recently received a phone tip from a hospital in Newark, reporting that people in ACORN t-shirts were in the facility signing up and collecting absentee ballots. New Jersey law allows anyone to take up to 10 absentee ballots at a time. The tipster reported seeing individuals in the ACORN shirts entering the hospital with blank absentee ballots and leaving with completed ballots.
In citing the "appearance of ACORN" and "its big brother, SEIU" as evidence that "the fix is in" with regard to the election, BigGovernment offered no allegation of illegality or impropriety on the part of either the community organizing group Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) or the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Media Matters for America has documented a pattern in which conservatives consistently scapegoat ACORN, often by employing falsehoods or misrepresentations.
Third "sign" of "rigging": Anonymous "reports" that "voters are discovering that absentee ballots have already been submitted under their name." From the post:
There are reports out of Camden, New Jersey that voters are discovering that absentee ballots have already been submitted under their name. They did not authorize these ballots. Early reports suggested that the number of absentee ballots 'requested' in Camden city is higher than in any previous election. This will no doubt spark confusion on election day.
BigGovernment offered no evidence that New Jersey voters had in fact discovered absentee ballots submitted in their names, that they actually had not authorized those ballots, that such instances are unusual, or that the Conrzine campaign or its allies are in any way involved.
Fourth "sign" of "rigging": Distortion of reported Democratic request for treatment of absentee ballots. From the post:
Possibly anticipating this confusion, the state Democratic Committee recently sent a letter to the Secretary of State, arguing that any absentee ballot that is rejected should still be counted as a "provisional" vote. The letter complained that almost 3,000 absentee ballots had already been rejected "solely on the basis of a comparison of their signature to the signature on record." Solely? If the signature of the voter doesn't match the signature on the ballot, is there really a reason to look at anything else? The letter from the state Democrats suggests that election officials should simply verify that the address on the absentee ballot matches the address on record. Right, and my bank should go ahead and cash any suspicious check as long as the address on the check matches my home address.
BigGovernment's claim appears to be a distortion of National Review Online contributor Jim Geraghty's October 29 report that the New Jersey Democratic Party had asked the state to provide provisional ballots for voters whose signature on absentee ballot request forms do not match the signature on their state voter registration forms. The post offers no evidence as to how this request constitutes evidence of an attempt to "rig" the election, or even that the rejected absentee ballot requests were not actually submitted by the persons listed. According to Glenn Beck, who obtained Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund's latest column prior to publication, Fund cites the same New Jersey Democratic Party request as evidence that "absentee ballot fraud has become a serious concern" in the race in his forthcoming column.
BigGovernment.com post written by "anonymous sources in the halls of power." The author of the post is listed as "Capitol Confidential," BigGovernment's pseudonym for "anonymous sources in the halls of power at the federal, state, and local levels"; the site claims to "double-check their stories and provide them the cloak they need to reveal the truth."
BigGovernment promises to "document any instances of voter fraud in New Jersey"
Breitbart site partnering with other right-wing site to "shine the critical light" on "voter fraud." An editor's note to the Capitol Confidential post reads:
Big Government will be working closely on election day with Election Journal and its army of citizen journalists and videographers to document any instances of voter fraud in New Jersey. We welcome the help of readers in New Jersey. If you would like to volunteer to help maintain the integrity of the democratic process, please send an email to email@example.com. You can use this same email to report any voting irregularities you witness on Tuesday. Also, please send in any of your own documentary video of problems at polling places. Big Media may ignore stories of voter fraud, but together we can shine the critical light on it.
Election Journal is conservative website focusing on "voter fraud." According to its website, "Electionjournal.org is an online community dedicated to raising public awareness of vote fraud and election irregularities. If an election is worth winning, then there is someone willing to steal it. We report it." The site was founded by Mike Roman, a "veteran political consultant" and BigGovernment.com contributor.
BigGovernment's baseless charges of election fraud part of conservative media pattern
Media hyped conservatives' baseless allegations of voter fraud in 2008 elections. Media Matters for America has extensively documented that numerous media outlets and conservative media figures baselessly accused or highlighted allegations that progressive groups committed voter fraud during the 2008 elections, in particular scapegoating ACORN after the group submitted allegedly false or duplicate voter registration applications. But many reports ignored the fact that the statutes of most of the states in question require third parties registering prospective voters to submit all registration forms they receive, and that actual instances of illegal votes being cast as a result of registration fraud are extremely rare.
Conservative media attempted to discredit Franken victory by invoking ACORN, fraud. Conservative media figures have repeatedly promoted baseless claims of fraud in the Minnesota Senate race and claimed that there was a lack of impartiality in the recount process to accuse Sen. Al Franken (D) of "stealing" the election, and have raised the bogeyman of ACORN to baselessly cast doubt on his victory months after he took office. However, in its unanimous 5-0 ruling, the Minnesota Supreme Court stated that "[n]o claim of fraud in the election or during the recount was made by either party" and that "Coleman's counsel confirmed at oral argument that Coleman makes no claim of fraud on the part of either voters or election officials."

So how are fellow owners doing for amp burn-in/settle in? Every time I turn mine on it sounds better than the last time, a fact that astounds me more and more each time I experience it. Sibilance? Harshness? Completely non-existent now, even on bad material. The presentation continues to gain depth, as though you can dive into every individual note as deeply as you want to. I burn my amp in by listening to it, so it has probably taken me longer to get there than some of you.
This amp is probably the single best purchase I have ever made. I can't thank Glenn enough for sharing his talents.
I came round-robin the other day and finally went back to my Sylvania chrome dome GT driver. The BGRP started acting up again and I ran out of patience for it. I had previously bellyached that my beloved Sylvania sounded harsh when the amp first came back from its mod. Now it sounds hauntingly beautiful, different in ways from the Tung Sol but really just as good overall. It brings the emotion out of the human voice in a way that is very right. Clearly something was in need of some burn time when the amp came back, be it the 5998s at their new operating point, the pot, the resistors or who knows, but I'm glad things have gone where they are now.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a huge profit machine and not at all overvalued, but the time for it to start misfiring will come, investing specialist Bruce Greenwald has said.
"The problem is that this profit machine, we know is going away," Greenwald told The Motley Fool in an interview. "It happened to Sony (NYSE:SNE) in this area, it happened to [now Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) unit] Motorola in this area, it happened to Nokia (NYSE:NOK) in this area, and we just don't know when it's going to happen."
Our 20-page proprietary analysis of Apple's stock is ready. Click here to get your Cheat Sheet report now.
And while there may not be an immediate danger, when the fall happens, it'll be quick, the Columbia School of Business professor added: "It's going to happen very quickly when it happens — you only have to look at what happened to Nokia … Now, if you think that it's going to happen in the next five years, that's a probability of close to 20 percent a year."
And despite returns of approximately 25 percent, the 20 percent fade rate means the stock is fairly risky.
"There's a real business and real profits," Greenwald said. "It's just, I think that it's a very risky choice to make, given that we know that the lifetime of companies like Apple, with products like Apple — and it may be that Apple can avoid this for a longer time because they're so superb at what they do — but the lifetimes of these kinds of companies with this kind of profitability is not long."

She's looking pretty trim in those scrubs.Now, if Tyra Banks had to do a segment like this and wear that outfit, she would've cinched in the waist with a large belt. And when she saw the lady getting the C-section, she probs would've tried to eat her ribs.AdvertisementBut all kidding aside, Tyra does so much more than eat comfort food and then bitch about people calling her fat. For instance, she gives people makeovers (weaves, she gives them all weaves!) to improve their self esteem. She had on some meth-heads who looked like total shit before Tyra sicced her team of doctors and drag queens on them. Actually, I thought it was really nice to give this lady new teeth. Dental work is so expensive. And she's looking sort of OK now, for having been a dirty crystal meth addict before.Then TyTy gave this "tomboy" a makeover.I almost turned into a tomboy when I saw how hot she looked after this, but then I remembered that I don't like to eat pussy play sports.AdvertisementSponsoredHas anyone else noticed that Tyra has hired Topanga to do the kind of field that she doesn't really want to do? Hey, that's a little bit like me with Jezebel. Except whereas Ty sends To on adventures like yard sales, Anna sends me to show my vadge around town. And I do it with the same type of enthusiasm. In fact, this is totally the face I was making when I had my legs in stirrups at the doctors' offices:Thank God Gawker Media pays better than Tyra. She's so cheap!Reply7 repliesLeave a reply

Evolution. There. I said it. And my brain didn't melt, the world did not disintegrate, and most importantly, I didn't get fired.
So why is it Darwinists think if they utter the word "creation" in the classroom their pristine reality will collapse and they will suddenly be branded as anti-intellectual?

Reading this brought the past four decades cascading through my memory. Arriving in Kosti Boys School in 1966 my first introduction to my colleagues on the staff revealed that almost all wore Western dress and taught in English across virtually the whole of the curriculum. However two, known as "˜mullana', did not: they spoke no English; wore very formal "˜traditional' dress; and taught Arabic and Islam. At one stage in the school year there was an open day featuring various school societies, and a very small and earnest group (one later to become governor of the Bank of Sudan under the NIF) set up a stall for the Muslim Brotherhood which attracted little attention.
How things were to change. Teaching in the University of Khartoum in the late 1960s I became aware of the struggles over the efforts to ban the Sudan Communist Party; while nearly 20 years later, from my base in Reading but still laced with regular visits to the University of Khartoum, I followed the execution of Mahmoud Mohamed Taha and the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The outline of the political story of all this is well enough known, but the exploration here of the struggles over the judiciary has never been written up in this very personal and penetrating manner, and we are all indebted to Abdullahi for it. It is also very revealing of the significance of judicial affairs in Sudan.
There has been a tendency in debates about African politics to write off, if not to ignore, issues pertaining to the judiciary but this book reminds us of just how inappropriate that would be in Sudan's case where the struggles have been so significant and so intense. The struggle of course is ongoing, and may prove the formal aspect of the division of the country, since the CAP is built around the south's rejection of sharia law. But even before we get to the referendum in the south of 2011 which will decide the issue, there are more matters to be attended to such as the press laws and other liberties which will be central to the conduct of the elections now scheduled for 2010. And beyond that, for the one or two states, it will be necessary to look to the institutionalisation of a stable legal system or systems if struggles such as those depicted here are not to be a continuing feature.

I can recommend a reputable Indian pharmacy http://indiantrustedpills.info
Before I ordered medicines here I ran a thorough investigation on the manufacturing practices in India in general and found out that there is death penalty for counterfeiting drugs there. I figured it would be enough to give the pills a try and I was quite satisfied with the result. There is no difference in effectiveness as far as I can tell between the brand and generic versions. The real difference is price, no comparison. And the this suppliers seem honest and reliable. I hope this info will be of any help to the community. |

Isn't Pfzier the Pharm that had to have it's Lipitor recalled by FDA? Profit no surprise as they had laid off thousands in May. Just y-day I was looking up a list of "dreamed up disorders" that the shrinks and psychs label people with under the DSM's. All to hand out those freebie samples to get ya going on your new drug-addicted and see the therapist once every other week life. There are numerous laughable ones under DSM-IV like 297.3 Shared Psychotic Disorder & 302.72 Female Sexual Arousal Disorder. Both of these require intensive therapy. On the FSAD the therapist tells the female client to think happy thoughts as this will help your body to relax next time you're with your partner. And how much will the bill be for that advice?!

GOOD SHOOTING! You are so right on. You give me hope. Doctors are the tools of Big Pharmaceuticals, driving up the cost and dividing up the symptoms we suffer from our own sins ever so delicately naming every little facet as something new to be sold a multitude of bottled cures, at high prices, yes only for the treating of symptoms. Does that make sense? Real cures, ha, not wanted thank you. No money there. Marijuana is ten thousand times better than them all, along with opiates that is. Clean labs and white coats you can keep them! But they dupe us into suppressing there use with wars we pay for. As if they are a bonus to go along with Pharmacist drugs. Schools educate everyone to be consuming fools, eating the flesh of there own soles. |

So, does India have flu shots? I saw a sign in Walgreen's that said 29.99 this year starting on Sept 1. That is a 50% inflationary increase.
I thought that the med industry said that they wouldn't go mega double digit inflation if Congress passed Obamacare. Hey, they lied. what's new? ganders and gooses both of them |

I did a little research and found drugs made in Ireland, UK, Germany, U.S., and Canada. Couldn't find any made in China or India that are currently available in the U.S. The U.S. does do the majority of R & D however. If you really want to cut down on medications eat better and exercise (Lipitor-$12.5B annual sales), Quit smoking (Advair-$7B), and lose weight (Nexium-$5.5B). Nahhhh, forget it. That would require effort. Give me a pill. |

One of the new questions every doctor is asking now, it seems, is;
"Are you taking any medication made outside of the US?" Part of the "crack down"(pun intended)the Big Pharmaceutical boys are having there tools, the doctors, preform! They have got to keep all there sheep corralled and in line in order to keep up their margin of profit. Thing is, the pharmacy do not worry about any backfire because they know all their patients will be dead or to sick to react before they figure out what to do about our situation. Keep em coming you salt them and the devil will pickle them. Right up and past the time this country collapses. The new world order will just move to new pastures upon which to feed. My advice is to bend over with a smile and enjoy the ride, be greedy get all you can and to hell with the hind most. I hope, saying that gets some of you get real up set and you do something. |

Love the little teeniest weeniest print out of the side effects. Years ago, when the Jolly Green $$$$ Giants of the Pharms tried to target children in a Time Magazine article, by saying they needed to take pills even as young as 3 years old, for their little conflicts in life......I thought, yeah those little bratty toddlers who can't get along in the friggen ( there's that word again ) sandbox at preschool couldn't possibly figure out the concept of "sharing a toy".....those Funny Pharms are right give them drugs !!

How many commercials on television everyday are
pharmaceuticals? At billions of dollars a year are spent on advertising. I remember a time when them and attorneys were not allowed to broadcast. If the drug makers can spend that much on the airwaves, think how much they could save the public if they stopped. The only person I listen to when it comes to prescriptions is my doctor. If I were to go into his office and ask about all these drugs he would tell me to stop watching so much TV. And I'm getting tired of all these male enhancement commercials ... they try to make men feel inadequate. My wife has never complained. |

The FCC won't yank those ads. Vern, of course your spouse is satisfied !! Men.....don't fall this jerking off by these corrupt giants or your doctor. There's an abundance of ideas and help for your little friend so just stand tall and stiff and erect. Rise to the occasion that it's a brand new dawn in your life without those ED drugs.

Right behind the drug ads come the claim ads for class action suits. THE LIABILITY COST IS ALWAYS BUILT RIGHT INTO THE PRICE AHEAD OF TIME. Kind of like a bottle deposit, ya think. They know they will be killing and crippling. My suggestion is grow your own pot and poppies. Our government is over protecting us right into the grave not from the grave. |

Just got lunch from this place, carried back to my office. I ordered beef bulgogi and gyoza. The gyoza was very good.

Stopped by one day after work to see if I could get some fresh fish to eat. Ordered some tuna sashimi as that is one of my favorites. What I got though was some kind of shredded tuna shaped into a resemblance to sashimi. Not good at all
Sushi was great ordered 4 dishes first two came in in about 2 minutes and last two five min later, per my request, great service and food presentation, not lazy at all chef knows what he is doing Recommend
Well worth stopping by for dinner. Great food and cute little basic restaurant. We had spring rolls and dumplings followed by chicken teriyaki and friend rice -all delicious. Clearly lots of locals in here too and many eating sushi so that's what we'll try next time.
Ok so this place is small Inside and basic but the food was great and excellent value. I had the special beef dish which was really good. Service was very friendly. We would go back if we visit again.
I almost missed this place driving by...the owners should really consider getting a bigger and better sign that says 'Japanese food' or 'Japanese Restaurant' or something!! This is a true hole in the wall place. May not look like much from the outside, but this little restaurant has a nice lite sushi bar, a few cozy tables, and above all,... More
I've been eating at this hidden gem for years. Though it's not gourmet food, for a good home cooked Asian meal (mix of Japanese and Korean) you can't beat this place! The restaurant is a bit small, and with only a few tables you sometimes have to wait a bit to be seated, but this place is worth the wait.... More
Specialty Fruit Drink...Love it! Super bbq Chicken & Beef.
I personally like this restaurant. It has a "Mom and Pop" feel to it. The Sushi is good but, it is limited in range. It does take slightly longer for them to prepare foods but, it allows myself plus company to enjoy the Asian beer. I recommend passerbyers coming into town to partake in the Quaint little experience.

Cucumber Jelly
Author Notes: I thought of this after I made my cucumber ginger sandwich. I wanted to try cucumbers in a way I've never seen them used. Sure I've pickled them, but I've never spread them on toast, until now. It's a very unusual jelly and a perfect way to use up that bumper crop of cukes. My oldest daughter loves it on bread with sliced cucumbers, lettuce, and sharp cheddar cheese. —Dabblings
Makes 4-5 half pints
- 2 English cucumbers; peeled and chopped into medium sized chunks
- 3 inch piece of ginger; peeled and chopped into small chunks
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons white vinegar
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 packet of liquid pectin (half a box)
- In a blender, puree the cucumber, the ginger, the lemon juice, and the vinegar until no chunks are left.
- Strain the cucumber juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp. I also strained it a second time through some cheesecloth to remove extra pulp.
- Put 2 cups of the cucumber juice and the sugar in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for one minute. Add the pectin and boil for 1 minute more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, skimming off any foam.
- Ladle jelly into prepared jars. Follow the water bath method to process the jars.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Dish in the Raw

No baking and no cooking means a neglected blog . . I keep meaning to come back here and at least write about my holiday but I've been immensely busy. Too busy to write & too busy to keep up with all the blogs that I follow. Has it really been a whole month since I got back? But that's another blog post . . and I promise to get to it this week.
For now, I bring you crumbly, buttery, melt-in-the-mouth, lime-scented shortbread cookies with a surprising crunchiness.
Who would have known cornmeal could take shortbread to another level? I absolutely love these cookies! I substituted lime zest for the lemon zest because limes were what I had on hand & made only half the recipe. My kids have been sick all week so I didn't expect them to have much of an appetite. Had I known what a hit these would be with them, I would have made double the batch!

Glazed Doughnut
Glazed Donut or glazed Doughnuts are a variety of donut topped with a sweet glaze. Donut is ring shaped yeast bread which is deep fried; it is served topped with sweet toppings or with fillings.
Making of Glazed Donut
The donut glaze is made by mixing icing sugar, butter and little water to make a thick coating sauce. The fresh donuts are then dipped in the glaze and placed on a cooling rack till the glaze sets. Many glaze recipes also use gelatin since the shine from gelatin is much better however the taste is not as good.

A leading-edge SSD in performance, endurance and energy efficiency
The huge growth in data traffic is placing crucial demands on data centres running 24/7 to reach faster speeds while operating cost-efficiently. The Samsung SSD PM863 is the optimal solution. Boasting a wide-capacity up to 3.84 TB in a 6.35 cm (2.5) form factor, PM863 saves valuable space without extra power consumption or compromise in performance thanks to groundbreaking Samsung V-NAND technology. PM863 delivers high random Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPS), lower latency, higher reliability and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) under mixed workloads, ideal for Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), streaming or Web servers.
Achieve high endurance with V-NAND technology
PM863 features cutting-edge Samsung V-NAND technology that stacks the vertical layers in three dimensions, solving the cell-to-cell interference that causes data corruption in planar NAND. This technology leads to increased capacity on the same footprint, as well as increased performance, endurance and power efficiency - all essentials for data centres.
Optimised performance for mixed workload applications
PM863 shows outstanding random read/write speeds up to 99K/10K IOPS respectively with consistent and constant performance, which is essential for data centres. Thanks to optimised hardware and software for mixed workload applications, under the internal test, PM863 maintains IOPS consistency level at no less than 90% under any write ratio conditions, while the competing products' comparable values show steep fluctuations between 73% to 99% in their performance.
Lower TCO without sacrificing performance
On average, PM863 consumes less power and generates less heat in data center environments than HDDs. Typical HDDs generate and emit much heat due to the drives' moving mechanical parts, resulting in excessive energy consumption to keep them cool.
Ensure data integrity for improved reliability
PM863 demonstrates low probability of data corruption and maintains high level of data integrity. End-to-End Protection enables output data to remain consistent with input data along the entire data transfer path by detecting and remedying signal discrepancies in real time using the Error Correcting Code (ECC) engine.
Leverage the expertize of a technology leader in innovation
As a global leader in the SSD market, Samsung is a single-solution provider that actually designs and integrates crucial components of the SSD in-house, the DRAM, NAND flash, controller and firmware. Because Samsung has intimate knowledge of every component and part, and is a leader in V-NAND technology innovation, it can fine-tune each element at every stage of development and create perfect synergy.

Apparently, all that was left for the Kansas City Royals was to release bees on their opponent. A swarm of nature's honey makers occupied the visitor's dugout at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday morning, preventing the Los Angeles Angeles from using it until about 90 minutes before the first pitch.
Not a whole lot happens in a major league dugout during that time, especially on a Sunday, so it amounted to just a minor inconvenience after a beekeeper went to work and collected our insect friends. No players, reportedly, got stung.
And, with the advent of Rally Bees, the Royals officially had run out of ideas.
The Royals created a buzz in the offseason by trading a top prospect for ace right-hander James Shields, serving notice that this season would be different in the AL Central. They even started the season 17-10, stirring hopes that they'd finish above .500 in April and May for the first time since 1989. Nineteen eighty nine! Dayton Moore was cleaning house and taking names for postseason playoff ticket orders.
However, after another tough defeat Sunday, their 16th in 20 games that dropped the Royals to 21-26 overall, those dreams are toast. And now animal control has all of their bees.
The Royals sure ain't what they used to be:

British rider Chris Froome showed why he remains the overwhelming Tour de France favourite by winning Sunday's grueling 15th stage up to Mont Ventoux to extend his lead over main rival Alberto Contador.
Froome attacked about two-thirds of the way up the mammoth 21-kilometre Ventoux, and his brutal acceleration was too much for two-time former champion Contador. The Spaniard dropped back and finished about 1 minute, 40 seconds behind. Colombian Nairo Quintana was second, 29 seconds behind.
The win means Froome effectively made up the time he lost on Friday's sprint stage, when Contador caught him out with a surprise attack.
Ventoux is one of the most famed climbs in the Tour's 110-year history. Britain's Tom Simpson collapsed and died on it during the 1967 Tour.
Froome raised his right arm in the air when he crossed the line for his second stage win of the race after winning a mountain stage in the Pyrenees on stage 8 with a similarly decimating attack.
"It was incredible today, incredible. This is the biggest victory of my career," Froome said. "I didn't imagine this, this climb is so historical. It means so much to this race, especially being the 100th edition. I really can't believe this."
He now leads Dutchman Bauke Mollema by four minutes, 14 seconds and Contador by 4:25.
The longest stage of the race took riders over 242.5-kilometres from Givors in the winemaking Rhone Valley and ended in the Provence region.
A nine-man breakaway group, including sprint champion Peter Sagan and French veteran Sylvain Chavanel, led early on. Sagan picked up more valuable points in his quest to win the green jersey for the second straight year, extending his already massive lead over Brit Mark Cavendish, the 2011 Tour sprint champion.
Reputed to be one of cycling's showmen, Sagan lifted his front wheel and did a wheelie, followed by a salute to the crowd in a rare moment of frivolity on an otherwise bitterly hard day.
The small group of front-runners split open on Ventoux, leaving Chavanel alone in front, and with about 15 kilometres of climbing still to go. Froome, meanwhile, only had two Sky teammates — Australian Richie Porte and Britain's Peter Kennaugh — to help him.
Andy Schleck, the 2010 Tour champion, was dropped straight away while the 36-year-old Cadel Evans, who won the 2011 Tour, also faded, as did Chavenel.
The Movistar team looked full of energy, however, with Rui Costa of Portugal and then Quintana surging ahead.
Quintana had attacked Froome four times on the last climb in the Pyrenean mountains on stage 9 up to Bagneres-de-Bigorre, but had not been able to beat him.
Quintana zoomed uphill, overtook Jan Bakelants, Chavanel, and then Spaniard Mikel Nieve to move into the lead with about 10 kilometres to go, with Nieve tucking in on his wheel. Nieve finished the stage in third spot, 1:23 back.
At this point, Contador still had three teammates with him but Froome would lose Kennaugh shortly after, leaving just Porte.
Then, the yellow jersey group blew wide open as Porte accelerated. Suddenly, Froome and Porte were alone with Contador, whose three teammates — Roman Kreuziger, Michael Rogers and Jesus Hernandez — drifted back.
Froome appeared to whisper in Porte's ear and with seven kilometres to go, Froome launched a devastating attack on Contador — rocketing up the slope as fans threw water over him and others lit orange flares or waved British flags close to his face. He was so fast that within moments he had caught Quintana.
As he moved alongside Quintana, Froome attacked again with another brutal acceleration. But Quintana responded well.
Tens of thousands of people crammed the roadside on Bastille Day — France's National Day.
Other countries were well represented, though.
There were dozens of Union Jacks and Norwegians and Danes wearing Viking costumes. Pockets of Belgians and Dutch swigged beers, others dressed up as animals or ran alongside the riders in inflatable body suits.
The chaotic, raucous, deafeningly loud scene saw race motorbikes and spectators perilously close to the riders.
Near the summit, the scenery started to change, with fewer and fewer trees; then just a little bit of green brush left, before even that gave way to the barren, lunar landscape that makes Ventoux unique.
Towards the top it was windy, overcast and cool, a welcome respite from the stifling heat below, with temperatures again well into the 30 degrees Celsius.
Following Monday's rest day, there is a medium mountain stage on Tuesday — 168 kilometres from the medieval cliff-top town of Vaison-la-Romaine in Provence to Gap in the Alps.
Then come the final few days of agony in the mountains.
There are three straight days of tortuous climbing — including two ascents up the famed l'Alpe d'Huez pass in one day on stage 18. The next two days both feature two Hors Categorie climbs each — so tough they are considered beyond classification.
The race ends the following day with a nighttime finish on the Champs-Elysees.

1. Has it really been 30 years since Entertaining came out and changed everything?
I know. Time flies, doesn't it?
2. In Martha's Entertaining, you chronicle a year of celebrations. Did you ever shout, "Hey, all you people, get out of my house!"?
Not once. It makes me happy. There was a stretch with five amazing parties in one week. That's fun for me.
3. You enjoy entertaining in the morning most. Why?
I live on a farm. The nicest part of the day is the morning. Everyone is fresh and happy. The day is just beginning.
4. With all those parties, do you ever try new-to-you recipes on guests?
Sure. I'm a pretty good cook so I know by looking at the recipe if it's going to work. You can also say, "I want to try out a new recipe tonight. Do you want to try it with me?"
5. A former neighbor says he always wanted to knock on your door and borrow a cup of sugar but never did.
He should have! That's what neighbors are for. I love borrowing things—but I always return them.
6. How do you add special touches to daily-driver dinners?
Take spaghetti: Grate some fresh Parmesan cheese, add some chopped fresh herbs. A minute later, it's something special. I also keep 14 different kinds of salt in ramekins. They go with any dish, even dessert, and make even the most ordinary meal taste so much better.
7. You're known for so many signature dishes. Is there a limit to the number of dishes anyone can truly master?
I don't think so. Those are what I call the 101s. You can master a lot of 101s in life.
8. So no advantage to concentrating on just a few?
You know who does that? A lot of men. I have a friend who has mastered the puttanesca. You know when you go to his house what you're going to have and it's going to be really good puttanesca.
9. It's almost Thanksgiving. Traditional approach? Change it up a bit?
I love subtly altering the traditional to make it more interesting. But some things should stay the same. My favorite thing on the Thanksgiving weekend is actually a delicious turkey club sandwich made from leftovers.
10. Mmmm, leftovers. Would it surprise people to find out you eat straight from the container?
No, everybody does that. Don't you eat peanut butter out of the jar? A little spoon, right? Cold stuffing—I love it. Olives. Liverwurst. Hot fudge. I rarely open a can of sweetened condensed milk because I know I'll finish the whole thing. It's delicious. I invented "It's a good thing" for moments just like this.
Martha's French Toast Recipe
Serves 2
2 large eggs, lightly beaten ½ cup milk 1 tablespoon light brown sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ cup Cognac or other brandy Finely grated zest of 1 orange 2 slices (1 inch) brioche or challah bread, preferably day-old 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as safflower 2 tablespoons granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for sprinkling (optional) Confectioner's sugar, for dusting (optional) Pure maple sugar, for serving
Whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, brandy, and orange zest in a shallow dish. Dip bread slices in egg mixture to coat.
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook bread on both sides until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture or dust with confectioner's sugar, as desired. Serve immediately, with syrup on the side.

HOW should I care for them in the meantime? Pictures attached. Can you confirm that these are, in fact, squash? It's important, due to the circumstances, that I don't just throw them out or let them die. I'm perfectly happy to give them care for the time being. I just have ZERO idea where to start! I have no gardening experience. Your advice is appreciated! Thanks so much. |

Flick Champions Review
- Each sport is its own unique and fun experience.
- Can be played with a friend on the same iPhone.
- Games where you use your finger to move your character are made difficult through obscured vision.
- Unlocking is tedious.
While the game modes are fun and varied, the time or money spent to unlock all the content leaves a little bit of a sour taste.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Welcome to the wide world of flick sports! Do you have the intestinal fortitude to conquer the rankings of eight sports and become the flick champion? No? Well the good news is you can still have some fun regardless. All of the eight sports can be played in cup or exhibition mode, with a friend on the same iPhone, or in a tournament against the computer with multiple difficulty settings.
The sports on offer are soccer, tennis, basketball, hockey, bowling, archery, golf, and gridiron. Each sport plays differently and all control quite well and are fun in their own way. One of the more unique games is soccer, where your players are stationary and can kick the ball around, but act like magnets pulling the ball towards them when its near. Upon purchase, only the first four sports are available, with everything else revealed either through in-app purchase or earning enough experience through play to unlock them. This wouldn't be an issue normally but the amount of experience needed to unlock the later sports is quite high, and only the most dedicated players are going to enjoy golf or gridiron without paying some extra money.
All the sports are viewed from a top down perspective with the entire field of play taking up the screen. The players are represented by blockish characters in the colors of the country you chose at the beginning of the game. Everything works and the only visual problem is your finger obscuring the screen in games such as tennis and hockey. The sound is sparse and works for the most part, but for instance, the cheers in basketball every time you shoot a basket can get very annoying quickly.
Flick Champions is a lot of fun. All the sports have a unique twist on how they're played, and with the multiple cups and ability to play against friends, this game has some serious longevity. It's just a shame that to experience everything you either have to pay extra money or grind out experience till the game becomes no longer fun.
Ahh I'm glad you didn't give this a 4 or 5. In my opinion this game is severly overrated with many of the games just to simple and tedious to be any exciting. I soon got bored within a few days...

I often meet guys who feel like their style needs more. . .they like the way they dress, but they want to be able to stretch their look- meaning they want to be able to wear the same outfit in different ways. Well, the best way to diversify your style is to add accessories. The most basic accessory is a belt, but that' s more of a necessity. . .we'll talk about belts another day.
Below are the accessories that can enhance any man's look if worn properly, I will write about each of the accessories one or two at a time over the next few weeks:
1. Scarves
2. Ties
3. Hats
4. Suspenders/Braces
5. Shades
6. Glasses
7. Out-of-the-box accessories
Lets start with Scarves.
Pharrell tends to rock designer scarves only
Lil Wayne has been wearing scarves alot recently, above he's
at the BET Awards after party. He wore a red and white scarf
during his latest MTV performance of "A millie"
Those who want a classic and clean look should avoid that type of scarf. Focus on getting silk-type scarves that are more neutral in color and that you could possibly wear years from now. This scarf is and should be timeless in look and it's the type I highly recommend for Urban Gentleman.
You can buy these scarves anywhere and everywhere now. . .I recommend 3 places:
1.) Amazon.com – they have a great variety for great prices
2.) Mall (from GAP to Urban Outfitters)– you will be able to find the trendiest styles at your local mall.
3.) your local thrift store – shopping here allows you to be unique, if you spend the time searching you could possibly find a designer scarf for a really really really cheap price.
For in-store designer scarves: Barneys and Neiman Marcus
(scarves are often seen as either unisex or for women in the retail world, so you may have to visit the women's accessories area to find these types scarves.)
You can now buy the EXACT scarves Lil'Wayne and Kanye West wear (plus many more) at The Urban Gentleman Store, click HERE.

Right now scarves are my favorite party of my outfit! In the fall I like my shoes and my scarves to go together! So im determined to find the hooded pullover scarf that Chris Brown wears in the video Head of My Class. I believe its D&G but i want it!!!
i was wondering how i time my scarf and what kind of shirt to wear it with plz contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Honestly, I usually rock womens scarves. If you wear the scarf with a funky twist, and make sure the rest of your fit comes off prety masculine, you're good. My ex-girlfriend/friend buys a lot of scarves from spots on Melrose, I usually just steal a scarf out of her closet everytime I go to her spot. LoL, she thinks her sister is stilling her scarves. But anyways, if you can style it right, you can definetely wear womens scarves. I have no shame in my game. Besides, most women tell me they like my style, they love to see a dude rocking a scarf.
I'm a big fans of scarves for men too…Great accessory indeed!! And I love your blog..I'm now hooked on it.
It's 2010 are scarves still trendy? Just wondering because I have been nervous about incorporating them in my wardrobe in the past and hope it is not to late to start now.
Let's be honest, the "scarves" worn by many hip-hop icons are really shemagh, also known as a keffiyeh. It is actually a traditional arab headress. More importantly, it has been linked to Palestinian nationalism. It's wear in the west as a "scarf" started with trending military clothing for fashion and females. After fighting in a "war" (multiple times), I find this quite offense to wear for "fashion" something worn for safety/survival (from/during sandstorms).
Did I mention it was worn by females? Not to say that female fashion does not trend over to male fashion, but let's get serious. Maybe I have a more utilitarian look at fashion, but if you wear a scarf, of any kind, you should probably look at functionality; otherwise, you may look just plain silly. Many overdo it when it comes to this.
Do you like how these celebrities present the magical wonder of scarves but you do not know how to present it in a fashionable manner of your own? Are you having troubles with knotting or just hanging the scarf? Then there are scarf rings These will help you solve your problem and you will look fabulous in your scarf.

Thanks for the tips so far. I have played around with a friend's iphone and like the interface, but it is way too slow for what I need it to do. The Blackjack also caught my eye, but no wifi killed that for me. I think I am going to go with the AT&T Tilt. I'm waiting for the local store to restock so I can look at them in person.
You may be able to find a euro-spec Blackjack with WiFi - a colleague of mine who works out of France has one.

Can we all agree that Bravo can be very sneaky? If you weren't watching "Watch What Happens Live" after "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion, then you would have missed Andy Cohen's announcement: A sneak peek of the first episode of "Real Housewives of Miami" would air immediately after his show. Very sneaky, indeed.
Our first impression is that this cast doesn't have a shrinking violet in the bunch. They're a group of very confident women. Of course, that could be the impression all the "Real Housewives" casts want us to believe after the first episode. Though, this group really puts the "sass" in sassy.
There's something to be said for the ethnic flavor of this cast. Our favorite line? When Adriana explained why Miami gave her so much confidence. She said that she's considered beautiful in Miami and doesn't have to be blue-eyed and blonde to feel validated. That's a pretty powerful statement to us that we think a lot of women can relate to.
Since it was such a surprise to us that Bravo aired the sneak peek as they did, we thought we'd return the favor with some snap judgments of the women. If you need a refresher on which woman is which, read about the Miami women here.
Lea Black: Can't be trusted
Marysol Patton: Lied about plastic surgery (and her mother? Yikes!)
Adriana DeMoura-Sidi: Attention whore
Alexia Echevarria: Trophy wife
Cristy Rice: Follower
Larsa Pippen: A bit vanilla
What are your first impressions of the gals?

It's been a rough season for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Maybe not the worst season in school history, but definitely top-five. The problem: coaching. Saban, he's getting senile.
Next year, it's championship or bust. No improbable miracle play better derail the team. If so, it's time to give Lord Saban the Mack Brown treatment. Stick a biscuit in his mouth, pat him on the head, and send him on his merry way.
Every great coach hits a wall. If we have to, we'll just call that Harbaugh fella. Maybe that New England coach, Bill something – see if one of them is finally ready to step up to the big time. This is 'Bama.

NISMO Invokes Samurai Spirit for Super GT
TSURUMI, Japan – Every year the ritual is repeated. All winter the cars have been improved and tested. One step remains before they are sent out to the first race of the Super GT season. They must be blessed. To win another championship the NISMO drivers and engineers need more than just skill and dedication, they need the gods on their side.
Earlier in the morning, NISMO's president Shoichi Miyatani had visited a Shinto shrine in Tokyo to collect sacred sake. Back at the racing organization's headquarters, the entire workforce gathered – the drivers, pit mechanics and staff.
They watched as the sake was poured over the hood of the No. 23 car. It's called Shutsujin-shiki, the Departure for the Front ceremony, and it echoes the rituals of centuries past when samurai made war across Japan.
"At that time just before they went into battle they wished and prayed for the safety of all the people and winning," said Miyatani. "This is a good opportunity for all the employees of NISMO and the team directors and drivers to get together and feel united as one, and go for the winning."
Last year ended on a high note. Ronnie Quintarelli and his co-driver Masataka Yanagida won the championship, their second successive victory, in the S Road REITO MOLA GT-R.
This year the winning pair are in the NISMO works car, the No. 23, and hoping for success again.
"It's a really great feeling," said Quintarelli. "Especially when you start the season and it is not going well, and then it starts to go well and you achieve the championship. You remember all the hard moments and in front of you you can see "Champion". It's a really great feeling and I want to experience it again soon."
J.P. de Oliveira will be racing in the Calsonic Impul GT-R.
"I'm excited," he said. "We haven't raced in a while. I love to race. Testing is one thing but racing is when things get really serious, and you need to focus on the result. I've been looking forward for the first race. Okayama is a track that I like and I can't wait to get in the car and do the qualifying and the race there."
As soon as the ceremony was over engineers rushed forward to clean the sake from the car, keen that nothing should tarnish the paintwork.
It was loaded onto a truck together with the tools, equipment and spares needed for the pits for the long journey to Okayama, the circuit in western Japan that will host the first race.
The Super GT season is about to begin.
