- Finding POI's was nice and simple
- Setting and customization of personal preferences
- Ability to make changes to settings via steering wheel mounted buttons
- Lag while system processes voice command
- 8-inch touch screen not very touch sensitive
- Entering navigation destinations by voice or touch … ugh!
What do an 8" LCD touch screen on the center stack, two customizable LCD screens, media integration and connectivity (USB, RCA video), and the ability to turn the vehicle into a local area network for your passengers using a wireless USB modem all have in common? They are all components of MyLincoln Touch technology.
Based upon the new MyFord Touch technology unveiled last year, MyLincoln Touch is now available on the 2011 Lincoln MKX and will become standard equipment across the Lincoln lineup. We recently received an MKX for testing and I decided to put the MyLincoln Touch technology to the test to see if it really did enhance my driving experience. Integrated voice control of music, phone, climate, and navigation in a luxury SUV — it doesn't get much better than this, or does it?

Qaddafi Forces Attack Rebel Stronghold
Despite a UN resolution and threats by European powers to strike Muammar Qaddafi's forces if they continue to attack Libyan cities, troops loyal to the Libyan dictator today assaulted the eastern city of Benghazi with tanks and aircraft. Update below.
One resident, Hassan Marouf told Reuters:
"Europe and America have sold us out. We have been hearing bombing all night, and they have been doing nothing. Why? We have no one to help us but God. Us men are not afraid to die, but I have women and children inside and they are crying and in tears. Help us."
Reuters also reports that Qaddafi snipers are killing civilians in the rebel controlled city of Misurata. Meanwhile, an emergency meeting is taking place in Paris today to decide what course of action to take.
Update: French President Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking after the Paris meeting, announced that French warplanes are now in the skies over Benghazi to enforce a no-fly zone.

Bill O'Reilly Wants to Restore the USA, One Coffee Mug at a Time
Now that Glenn Beck's revival show is out of the picture, there's room for another gauzy, revanchist "movement" at Fox News. And it looks like it will be led by corrupt falafelist Bill O'Reilly. His corporation has trademarked the phrase "Restore the USA" for use on key chains, coffee mugs, and t-shirts.
Bill Me, Inc. (get it!) filed to trademark "Restore the USA" on October 1, as TVNewser first noted.
Bill Me, which has offices at News Corp.'s New York headquarters, also holds the trademark on "Bold and Fresh," "Don't Be a Pinhead," and other clever O'Reillyisms.
The trademark application covers bumper stickers, key chains, mugs, and t-shirts and jackets. TVNewser speculates that it is related to a late-September rant O'Reilly made about the GOP's efforts to "restore America." So prepare yourself to be restored.

Hi everyone.
I've been on the board for a little while now while I go through the basics of c++. Unfortunately I'm not really good enough to be able to help anyone else right now.
I am wondering whether I would be better to learn a language with a simpler syntax for the beginning period of programming while I get my head around the actual logic rather than getting bogged down with the syntax of c++.
I don't want an 'easy' route, more a logical one i.e. if I was to start with python, I would no doubt get further quicker, but would that be transferable to c++ seeing as the syntax is rather different.
That is one thought in my mind. The other is telling me to stick with c++ only, because it will give me a very solid grounding and enable further skills such as attention to detail because it is so particular about syntax.
Would one route have any advantages over the other? I'm kind of at that early stage practicing command line coding and thinking where exactly is this going? I don't have a particular program to make in mind, however, some kind of aim would probably be useful!
I guess I'm trying to say sometimes I find the motivation dwindling a bit, but perhaps this is due to me not having any specific aims. I also know I don't have a a choice, I must learn programming in order to forge some sort of career as it is always the programming bit holding me back.
I'm as far as functions/pointers at the moment after practicing loops for quite an extended period of time.
I really enjoy programming and I get a huge sense of satisfaction when my small programs work and would love to be able to help out others here on the board as that in itself would be good practice.
Has anyone got any advice for someone who clearly needs a bit of guidance?

Police say the husband of 50-year-old Sakounswk Vilayhong found his wife unresponsive Thursday afternoon after he returned home from work. Fort Smith police say Vilayhong suffered "suspicious injuries" and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say a preliminary investigation shows that Vilayhong spent most of the day at a casino in nearby Pocola, Okla. Authorities say they believe Vilayhong left the casino shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday. Police say her husband found her body about two hours later.
Vilayhong's body will be sent to the Arkansas Crime Laboratory for an autopsy. Anyone with information is asked to call Fort Smith police.

Changing Face of Social Networks
Five years is a lifetime for the average teenager's habits. In 2005, MSN was top dog in the social-networking scene; two years later it was MySpace (owned by News Corp., publisher of this service), which was then quickly superseded by Facebook.
And now, work by Capgemini Consulting suggests that another trend may be on its way, with many of the younger demographic moving away from conventional social networking and toward sites based on particular interests such as games, TV, music or movies.
The research indicates that the average number of minutes spent on Facebook per user by 18 to 24 year olds globally declined every month for the three-month period ending September 2009. At the same time, a site like FarmVille, where users chat while playing the game, saw its unique users explode to 15.5 million from virtually zero in three months.
That said, the social-network subscriber base continues to grow and consolidate around Facebook, even among the young. In the U.K., for example, Facebook saw a 50% increase in 15- to 24-year-old subscribers in the year to June 2009, while Bebo and MySpace declined by roughly a quarter each. Around a year ago, MySpace stated its intention to be an entertainment portal and move away from pure social networking.
Meanwhile, there's a counter trend…

Smith warmed by return to bullpen
BOSTON -- Left-hander Will Smith returned to the Royals on a cool but sunny Sunday, the 26th player permitted for the doubleheader against the Red Sox. He was warmed both by getting back to the Major Leagues and by leaving chilly Omaha behind.
"It's cold down there, I know that," Smith said. "This is summertime compared to that. It's snowing down there and everything, and we're getting snowed out."
Smith pitched in three games for the Storm Chasers.
"I threw the first game against Albuquerque at home, and it was the nicest day. It was 41 [degrees], I want to say, and the next day we got snowed and rained out, and the next day we got snowed out," he said. "So we had two off-days, but everybody stayed inside and didn't move."
On Sunday, Smith joined fellow lefties Bruce Chen and Tim Collins in the bullpen. Going into the doubleheader, the Red Sox were vulnerable to left-handed pitchers, batting just .200 against them, compared with .282 versus righties.
"He's a guy that gives us another left-handed arm that we can go long or we can go short with," manager Ned Yost said.
Mendoza returns to Royals' rotation on Wednesday
BOSTON -- Right-hander Luis Mendoza will return to the rotation on Wednesday night, at Detroit. He was skipped in the last go-round because of open dates and hasn't pitched since April 12, when he made his second start.
Mendoza, whose return was facilitated by Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, has a tough matchup ahead, as the Tigers will start Justin Verlander.
"We were going to bump Mendoza if we didn't have a doubleheader," manager Ned Yost said.
The day-night twin bill was just fine for the Royals, who aren't scheduled to return to Boston this year.
"We don't want to come back here on an off-day, fly in [just to] play a game," Yost said. "Play 'em while we're here."
Prior to the doubleheader, the Royals had played just three games since concluding a homestand last Sunday, and had played only 15 games in 20 days.
"I don't even feel like we've played that," Yost said.
Kottaras makes the most of first '13 at-bat
BOSTON -- Catcher George Kottaras had to sit through 14 games before making his Royals debut on Saturday as a pinch-hitter. It was a success -- he patiently drew a walk in the ninth inning to keep a potential comeback alive in a 4-3 loss.
It was a good at-bat for a rusty player.
"I was looking for a guy that could hit the ball out of the park, but I knew he's a guy that, if they weren't going to throw him strikes, he would probably take a walk or put a good at-bat up," manager Ned Yost said. "He's that type of player."
Kottaras made his debut behind the plate in the night game of Sunday's twin bill, belting his first home run of the season in the fifth inning as the Royals posted a 5-4 win in 10 innings.
Royals have pitching to thank for position
BOSTON -- Entering Sunday's doubleheader, the Royals were percentage points ahead of the Tigers in the American League Central despite ranking 12th among 15 AL teams in runs scored.
"We're in first place and haven't even gotten going offensively yet," manager Ned Yost said. "But the pitching is carrying us right now, and there'll be times when the offense will carry us."
In the first game of the twin bill at least, he stayed with Eric Hosmer as his cleanup hitter, with Billy Butler in the third spot, even though both were sputtering at the plate.
"Trust me, I've been thinking about the lineup the whole time and just really hate moving guys around from game to game," Yost said. "I think, ideally, if Hoz is Hoz, he fits best in the [three-hole] and Billy in [fourth]. But we're not there yet, so we're just going from game to game and hoping for a big hit. ... Really, each individual hitter sets his spot in the lineup by his production."
Gordon takes blame for collision with Cain
BOSTON -- Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain escaped injury, but they also missed the baseball in a collision during the Red Sox's fourth inning of Sunday night's 5-4 Royals victory.
They were converging on Mike Carp's fly ball, when they bumped into each other in left-center field and the ball fell safely. Carp reached third base and Gordon was charged with an error.
"This is probably the loudest stadium I played in for a while and we're just doing our best to communicate out there. But we've got to continue to talk and get better at it, because that just can't happen," Cain said.
"We both were calling it. He didn't hear me, I didn't hear him so we ran into each other."
Gordon, who has won Gold Glove Awards as the best American League left fielder the last two years, took the blame.
"He has responsibility, so I need to get out of the way," Gordon said. "I need to look to make sure he's coming. It's one of those in-between balls that we've got to clean up, and we will."
Carp wound up stranded at third base as Jeremy Guthrie retired the next two hitters.

It appears that bella's house in Surrey has gotten some new accessories for the time being. Bella's house has aquired a fence to keep the twihards out and to ensure that there is an actual house left when the time to film eclipse comes around. They have also got around the clock security to make sure no one sneaks over the fence and into the house.There's barbed wire. Thanks, Krista!

Interesting! Very interesting!ReplyDelete
not surprisingReplyDelete
It does indeed...I was just in BC for work and took a small detour to see the house. The security guard let us know they had just fenced it the night before we got there. For anyone heading to see the house between now and Eclipse...the guard working (at least when we were there) was really nice! Even tried to remember directions to the Jacob's House location for us. He did tease us a bit, and congratulated us for not crying when we saw the set. Said the group the day before had collapsed in tears upon seeing it! :-) As we were leaving, he's asked, "So, have you guys read the book?" Yes. "How does it end?!" My friend and I gave him a Cliff's Note version of the story...you should have seen his reaction to Renesmee!ReplyDelete
HAHAHAHA! Jennifer, thats awsome. I love getting that reaction from people who arent fans. They think it's too soft core for their vision of vampires, and when I tell them about Renesmee they have several emotions flitter over their faces, starting with shock, to confusion to grossed out. HAHA, love it.ReplyDelete
That's really interesting.This Twilight thing has gotten out of hand a LITTLE , just a LITTLE , But who cares i love it! And that's way kewl and lucky Jennifer.Im jealous of you.Do you know where Bella's and Jake's house is located ? Cuz im dying to know because i might go Washington next year with my school or with my parents.ReplyDelete
i think its agood idea that theyve done that cause i know that fans would try to take a momentem with them heheReplyDelete

I've been by twice now. first time to take photos of just the house and they were fixing it up. The second time was when I took this photo. the first time there was a really nice security guard talking with the few people that were there the second time, I just did a drive by and saw the fence. The security guard was a different guy and he kind of gave me the evil eye. All i was doing was taking one picture not jumping out to scale the fence. I really liked the first guy.ReplyDelete
Renesmee Cullen...email me if you want the "address" (it's more of an intersection) for Bella's house. Sounds like Krista could direct you too. We were short on time since there for work so didn't get to see Jacob's. Not quite sure where it's located.ReplyDelete
I have been looking to see the Cullen house, any ideas where it is- I live in the area.ReplyDelete
I heard that the cullens house is in west vancouver in the british properties on stevens dr. i havent been there myself yet but I plan on it tonight to check it out! im not sure if its true or not yet but its worth a shot! if anyone can give me the address to bellas and jacobs hosue that would be excellent! i just wanna take some pictures! its been so hard to track it down!ReplyDelete
Hey ... I was wondering if anyone can let me know the locations for the Cullens house in West Vancouver (if it is there), Jacobs house and Bella's. I want to take my little cousin and show her the sets for where they will be filming, it will make her day :-)ReplyDelete
Reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com ...
Thanks in advance :-)

Former Alabama justice ousted over 10 Commandments monument claims gay marriage would increase child abuse, divorce
Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — About 500 people rallied Tuesday, March 15, at the Iowa Capitol, urging legislators to send a constitutional amendment to voters that would ban same-sex marriage.
The rally featured former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore, who said gay marriage will result in child abuse and divorce. He asked opponents to set an example.
"What happens in Iowa, the rest of the nation watches," Moore said.
About an hour after Moore's rally, dozens of supporters of gay marriage rights held their own counter-rally.
Moore made national headlines in 2003 when he refused to abide by a federal court order to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the state judicial building. He was later removed from office.
Moore praised Iowa residents for voting in November to oust three Iowa Supreme Court justices who supported a unanimous 2009 decision that found a state law limiting marriage to heterosexual couples violated the Iowa Constitution.
"I'm proud to say that the people of Iowa stood up to the justices on the Supreme Court and voted them out of office," Moore said.
Also addressing the crowd was the Rev. Keith Ratliff, pastor at Maple Street Missionary Baptist Church in Des Moines, who charged that the gay community is hijacking the civil rights movement for its own purposes.
"In my humble opinion there is no parallel," Ratliff said. "What an insult to the civil rights movement."
Troy Price, the political director of One Iowa, the state's largest gay rights organization, said Ratliff is wrong.
"There are thousands of gays and lesbians across the state that recognize this is an issue of rights, the right to be with the person you love," Price said.
Price said supporters of same-sex marriage have been working to tell legislators, especially Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, that there is wide support for the court's decision.
A resolution calling for a statewide vote on whether to amend the Iowa Constitution to ban gay marriages passed the Republican-controlled House in February with overwhelming support and headed to the Senate, where Democrats are in the majority and leaders have vowed to block debate.
The resolution would have to be approved by the current Legislature and the one to be elected next year to get onto the ballot.
Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, has the authority to decide which issues are debated in the full Senate, and has said he will not allow a vote on the resolution.

First use ice on the injury immediately afterwards, 20 minutes on, and 20 minutes off for a few cycles. Once the swelling has gone down, and the pain abated somewhat, start using a vibrator that has a heat pad as part of it on the hurt muscle area, digging it into the hurt area so you increase circulation. This is supposed to cause a little pain, to focus the area. Then place the injury under a little stress, so that it hurts a little, such as in a stretching position. Here comes the martial arts technique: Focus on your core abdominal area and tighten it. Then "push" very hard, for a second and a half or so, towards the injury, so that your blood pressure goes through the roof. Relax and repeat. Focus your "chi" energy from the abdomen towards the injured area, in an attempt to flush out the injured particles and heal the energy in that damaged area, and improve circulation in that injured area. It feels as if you are trying to break through a log jam, and smash through the injury damage inside the hurt area, with this intended pushed focus. Hold the push for a few seconds, and repeat ten times, three times daily. Do this until the injury does not hurt you in daily life anymore. Healing time will be cut down by at least half. If you don't treat these, they can fester and molder forever, staying hidden until later years. __________________

Adjusting Transaction Isolation Levels
The isolation property is one of the four properties, atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability (ACID), that a logical unit of work must display to qualify as a transaction. It is the ability to shield transactions from the effects of updates performed by other concurrent transactions. The level of isolation is actually customizable for each transaction.
Applies to: SQL Server 2008 R2 and higher versions.
The SQL Server Database Engine supports the transaction isolation levels defined in SQL-92. Setting transaction isolation levels allows programmers to trade off increased risk of certain integrity problems with support for greater concurrent access to data. The transaction isolation levels are:
With two exceptions, each isolation level offers more isolation than the previous level by holding more restrictive locks for longer periods. The exceptions are SNAPSHOT, and READ COMMITTED when READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT is set ON. These isolation levels do not acquire shared locks on data rows during read operations. Only SCH-S locks are held at the table level.
Transaction isolation levels can be set using Transact-SQL or through a database API.

Download Mother Fe apk free for Android smartphone
Posted by App Yankee in Books & Reference | Jan. 1, 2014 | 0 Comments
Apk file size: 0 bytes
This is a contemplative mobook preview. The app contains the first three chapters of emerging author Douglas Gardner McCray's writings. His is a theoretical fiction four-mobile-book collection currently available on Google Play, iBookstore, Amazon/Kindle, Barnes&Noble and more. Everything flows from http://www.appyankee.com
This app is one of twenty-six clones. Their icons have three linked smiling faces or letters on them, such as FS, MS, HF, etc, and the developer's name is App Yankee. These apps lead to the first mobook of the Radicals of Ztar Series: The First of Us. Hint: don't take this science-fiction work for granted. Douglas' work portraits his ideas on human origins and "homoplanetary mechanics" (new), or how, four of the five main ethnic groups on Earth are of extraterrestrial but of solar system origin. The mobooks read why we are evil in the main, and also that the mission of humans in life is to serve as "intelligence training containers" for what he refers to as space angels, subtle life forms living in the human brain! The author, who studied philosophy and psychology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, complains of human behavior, and explains, via mobile entertainment why as a species we are not going to make it – that we are not supposed "to make it" because this life is a mere training exercise, and by far not the big picture. He tells us how human extinction must be approaching because all the destruction pieces are on the war table as you read.
But "all is good," he says, "for we are better off dead, as there is where the real life exists."
Just what we needed to hear!
"So have fun now, while it last, you… no… good… mother fe-suckers!"
Additionally, the first two mobooks of the Radicals of Ztar: The First of Us and When Fire Crosses the Darkness are a satire set on sex, toilet life, and, who knows, maybe our sun is our neighbor's star gate!
Install this app and give it a review today!

Destructoid's Dale North writes, "Jeez. How many more copies of this game do you need? Capcom has us in a continual air juggle with these upgrades and re-releases lately, so it's easy to become indifferent to a new title with an old name. That said, even if you have it already in some other form, you're going to want to get this Vita version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It's ... freakin' beautiful. Portable fighting has never looked so good or played so well.
Damn it, Capcom. Take our money. Again."

Six Nations Comment
10 things we learned from ... the latest Six Nations matches
Graham Jenkins
March 11, 2013
A dazed and confused Brian O'Driscoll is helped from the field in Dublin - but he would be back to shore up Ireland's defence © PA Photos
The latest round of Six Nations action may not have been the most thrilling ever witnessed in the championship but there was still plenty to get you thinking.
Trial and error
We fear referee Steve Walsh may have got a little confused in the closing stages of Ireland's brutal battle with France in Dublin. When Ireland's Keith Earls was challenged off the ball by France's Vincent Debaty as he attempted to race onto a loose ball, Walsh went to the Television Match Official to ask 'try or no try' but also request input on potential foul play. TMOs are allowed to offer clarification regarding foul play in Super Rugby - where Walsh is a regular fixture - but the Six Nations is not currently part of that trial. Having reviewed the incident himself on the big screen - another element of the Super Rugby trial - Walsh was sufficiently happy there was no foul play and left his TMO to confirm that clearly no try had been scored. Who knows if TMO Nigel Whitehouse would have remembered which competition he was officiating in and if Earls had indeed been impeded? But as the laws tell us, 'the referee is always sole judge of fact and law'.
Let's keep a lid on it
The elements did their best to ruin the latest Six Nations matches with the wind, rain and cold contributing to largely forgettable matches in Edinburgh, Dublin and Cardiff. The Championship needs a rousing finish to restore it reputation and England's title and Grand Slam showdown with Wales in Cardiff boasts all the ingredients for a thrilling finale so you can rest assured the roof of the Millennium Stadium will be closed if Mother Nature continues spoil the party. Fans will have forked out a pretty penny for tickets and deserve a decent return and the players would also no doubt prefer a dry ball as opposed to the slippery eel they have had to contend with of late. So let's hope coaches Stuart Lancaster and Rob Howley see sense and agree that the roof should be closed - that's if they can keep a lid on what is sure to be an electric atmosphere.
BOD may have taken his final Dublin bow
Brian O'Driscoll is yet to confirm whether he will play on next season but he dropped a significant hint that he may be about to call time on his glittering career during Ireland's clash with France in Dublin on Saturday. Battered, bruised and clearly concussed, O'Driscoll was reluctant to leave the field with his side desperately battling to keep France at bay. The Dublin faithful rose as one fearing that this would be the last time they saw the greatest Irish player of his, and arguably any, generation in the emerald green. Among them was O'Driscoll's wife, Amy Huberman, whose tears suggested this would be his final act on this stage but she, like the rest of us, should know BOD is made of stern stuff and he would return to the fray. But how long can he keep going back to the well? A final Six Nations hurrah in Rome beckons next weekend before a final flourish with British & Irish Lions in the summer.
From hero to zero and back again?
It's been a turbulent season for Wales' Sam Warburton. Not so long ago he was being mentioned as a candidate to lead the British & Irish Lions to Australia later this year but a slump in form had many writing his chances of touring altogether. But as the saying goes, form is temporary and class is permanent, with the openside returning to top form on after being named in their side for the Scotland match. And with skipper Ryan Jones, who assumed the captaincy in Warburton's absence, nursing a shoulder injury then Warburton could find himself back at the helm for the title showdown with England in Cardiff this weekend.
Wallabies will be sleeping easy
A season-ending injury to David Pocock on Saturday will have knocked the wind out of Wallabies coach Robbie Deans but he will have been breathing a little easier thanks to the tripe served up by the Home Nations at the weekend. Leigh Halfpenny's trusty boot may have seen Wales home against a determined but limited Scotland but it will take more than his kicking prowess to see off Australia in the summer. Ireland packed a punch against the French but failed to claim a victory or generate the kind of tremor that would be felt Down Under while England repeatedly fluffed their lines on their latest outing. Deans will be struggling to work out who will be lining up against his side in a few short months - but he's not the only one.
The 'La Plata Lip' is better when he buttons it
Italy No.8 Sergio Parisse returned to the headlines for all the right reasons with an irresistible performance against England. His recent ban for abusing a referee cost his side dear against Wales and tarnished his reputation as a world-class performer. As a result he had some making up to do at Twickenham and he did just that with an all-action display that reminded us he has very few equals on the international stage.
Halfpenny set to claim Championship honour
The shortlist for the Six Nations Player of the Championship is set to be announced by organisers this week with the Man of the Match winners from the first four rounds of action set to vie for public vote in a questionable selection process. For some reason the final games do not normally come under consideration although the general standard of the rugby and fact the destiny of the title remains unknown may prompt a late re-think. Either way, it looks as if England's Chris Robshaw and Wales' Leigh Halfpenny are the leading contenders with the latter's outstanding consistency worthy of the honour.
Referees asking for trouble
When the weather is so bad the players struggle to keep hold of the ball then you have a little sympathy for those referees who are tasked with keeping a firm grip on the game. However, that understanding goes out the window when the officials' pedantry serves as a hand-brake on a game already void of creativity as with Craig Joubert's handling of Wales' victory over Scotland. Steve Walsh also attracted plenty of attention with a couple of contentious calls but George Clancy was perhaps the most bemusing when he ruled a knock on against Italy as they closed in on the England line - despite his well-placed assistant Nigel Owens telling him that he saw no such thing.
Jackson is here to stay
Ireland's Paddy Jackson may not be a household name yet - even the Aviva Stadium announcer referred to him as Paddy O'Brien after a successful kick - but he will soon be as well known as the man he has edged into retirement - Ronan O'Gara. Concerns about his big match temperament evaporated with one sublime piece of skill during a brutal contest with France. Under pressure inside in his own in-goal area, he stepped an on-rushing Morgan Parra before calmly clearing his line. He may find his opportunities limited with Jonathan Sexton the clear first-choice playmaker but rest assured he has an able deputy.
Corden puts pros in the shade
TV host and actor James Corden put some of the pros to shame with a faultless display at Twickenham on Sunday. Italy's Luciano Orquera may have struggled from the kicking tee but Corden, filming a segment for the Sky One quiz show A League of the Own along with panellists Jack Whitehall and Jon Richardson, thrived under the pressure of the occasion with three successful kicks much to his own delight.

The Browning 1911-22 is the hot product of the year. What are people saying? They think it may be the best practice and training 22 ever made. This is because it works, feels and functions just like a full size 1911. It is simply scaled down and chambered in the best of all practice rounds: 22 LR. I am guessing that a huge number of Browning fans all across American will have one of these in their collection in the next few years. The consensus seems to be that it will have an extra special popularity with women and younger shooters in training and practice. No heavy recoil here, so you can focus on the fundamentals.

Sanctuary is the hub town of Borderlands 2 that you'll return to often to fulfill your many needs and desires like receiving quests, getting new guns, and stocking up on ammo.
Those who pre-ordered the game received a Golden Key to unlock a special loot chest in Sanctuary. This chest holds a weapon attuned to the level you are at the time of its opening, so it's heavily recommended that you wait until you've reached level 50.
Another way to get Golden Keys is to link Borderlands 2 and a Gearbox Shift account. This can be done via Main Menu -> Extras -> Shift Code. A Golden Key will be automatically added to your in-game inventory – you can use it to unlock a rare item in the mysterious Sanctuary loot chest.
This also the only known location of the rare loot-giver, Michael Mamaril.

The concept of wireless power transmission is a
relatively old one. In the 1890s, Nikolai Tesla was successful
in illuminating incandescent light bulbs with wirelessly transmitted
power. However, for decades this research lay dormant and
With modern telecommunications and interest in
signals at an all time high, interest in the topic again picked up.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in particular, developed
some intriguing
technology that WiTricity would later be founded upon.
Giler, CEO of WiTricity says that power transmission over several
feet is an obtainable feat. He states, "Five years from
now, this will seem completely normal. The biggest effect of
wireless power is attacking that huge energy wasting that goes on
where people buy disposable batteries. [And] Electric cars
[are] absolutely gorgeous, but does anyone really want to plug them
WiTricity isn't the only player in this new market,
though. Several key technologies, each championed by different
companies, are emerging.
One is radio power. Though only
able to transmit small amounts of power, this approach can work over
a long distance. A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, company called
Powercast is among the pioneers in this field, using its technology
to power temperature sensors in large office buildings and to power
wireless Christmas trees (sold for $400 a piece). The company
has lit up an LED with radio signals from 1.5 miles away.
approach is power pads. Advantages include low costs and
relatively high efficiencies. Disadvantages include the
extremely short distance and need for custom shapes and sizes of
pads. This technology currently is employed in the Palm
Pre's recharging stone and in electric toothbrush recharging
WiTricity's technology works on a third type of
transmission -- magnetically coupled resonance. Similar to
sound waves, the transmission creates a magnetic field, that devices
can convert locally to electricity. This technology enjoys a
middle ground with a bit worse efficiency, a bit longer distance, and
moderate costs. Intel is also working on a more
efficient version of this approach.
Despite WiTricity's
optimism about its new approach, challenges remain. A full
deployment is estimated to possibly create a magnetic field as strong
as the Earth's own magnetic field. According to recent
research, referenced by Menno Treffers, chairman of the steering
group at the Wireless Power Consortium, such a strong magnetic field
can cause serious health risks.

hey Mestapho, had a quick question. The new frame came with an aluminum upper link. I still have my old frame's carbon link, wondering if you know why they have two variations and if it's safe to switch them out? I know your new frame came with a carbon one so I'm a bit confused at their choices or is it just random. Thanks in advance.
Edit: never mind sorry, i just backtracked a few pages and read a few posts regarding the aluminum vs carbon link. Sorry, should have did some homework first

Common BT problem
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Check the reviews on other sites - common problem with these is with the bluetooth connection just dying. Mine worked for about 2 weeks, then the same thing; connect BT, start playing for about 2 seconds and then a loud buzzing sound comes from the speakers that doesn't go away unless you turn off/unplug the speakers. I'm 30-days in on my purchase today, I intend on returning
Pros: Sound quality was good while it lasted
Cons: BT problem described.

The Higashi Hongan-ji (東本願寺) temple complex in the Shimogyo-ku ward of Kyoto, Japan. The temple was founded in 1602 as part of a plan by the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu to split the Shin Buddhist sect in two and reduce its influence. Higashi Honganji became the head temple of the Otani-ha branch, while the nearby Nishi Honganji temple became the headquarters of the Hongan-ji branch.
None of the original temple buildings of Higashi Hongan-ji survive, in 1864 a large fire destroyed all buildings and the treasures they contained. The majority of the temple structures today date from between 1879 to 1911. The main hall, Goei-do is the largest wooden structure in Kyoto, and the second largest in Japan.
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.

FIRE CHRONICLE: Stories of the National Fire Plan
Number 13
October 10, 2002
Two of the four hazardous fuel reduction bills before the U.S. House of
Representatives this week proposed legislative definitions of "wildland
urban interface" as part of their programs to reduce the threat of
catastrophic wildfire. A specific definition is important to the
development and implementation of federal policy that clearly addresses
the complementary objectives of reducing the wildfire threat to human
life and property and restoring fire-adapted ecosystems. The exact
wording of the definition is critical because these treatments will have
a visible and lasting impact on forests and communities.
However, legislative action to alleviate the threat of wildfire to
communities should not be held up by the search for a "perfect"
definition of wildland urban interface. Information about the effects of
existing wildland urban interface definitions is available, and policy
makers should use this information when they select words to put into
The Southwest Region of the U.S. Forest Service has adopted a broad
definition of wildland urban interface for New Mexico and Arizona.
Looking at the impacts of this definition on the ground illustrates some
of the problems that can arise when open-ended definitions are applied.
The Southwest Region wildland urban interface definition, as specified
in a regional supplement to the Forest Service Manual (dated December
22, 2000), is:
"Areas of resident populations at imminent risk from wildfire, and human
developments having special significance. These areas may include
critical communications sites, municipal watersheds, high voltage
transmission lines, observatories, church camps, scout camps, research
facilities, and other structures that if destroyed by fire, would result
in hardship to communities. These areas encompass not only the sites
themselves, but also the continuous slopes and fuels that lead directly
to the sites, regardless of the distance involved."
Including "continuous slopes and fuels that lead directly to the sites,
regardless of the distance involved" in the definition made it extremely
difficult for the Region to prioritize wildland urban interface projects
for maximum community benefit under the National Fire Plan. Following is
a selection of 6 wildland urban interface projects in NM and AZ that
were among 144 projects prioritized by the Forest Service to receive
funding for hazardous fuel reduction treatment in fiscal year 2001.
Santa Fe Watershed: 7,000-acre fuel reduction treatment in the
Santa Fe municipal watershed serving 65,000 people. The treatments are
in the portion of the watershed that is adjacent to development within
the city limits and no treatment is planned for the majority of the
watershed that falls within the Pecos Wilderness Area. The ratio of
acres treated to population served is 1:9.
Fort Valley: 1,700-acre fuel reduction treatment outside of
Flagstaff, AZ, population 50,000. The project is 5 miles beyond the city
and is considered a wildland urban interface treatment because it is
within Flagstaff's viewshed. The ratio of acres treated to population
served is 1:29.
Gallinas Watershed: 450-acre fuel reduction treatment is in an
area that provides surface water to Las Vegas, NM, population 20,000.
The ratio of acres treated to population served is 1:44.
Thompson Ridge: 83-acre treatment to create fuel breaks around
a rural subdivision with 300 homes, most of which are seasonally
occupied. The ratio of acres treated to population served is 1:4.
Lama-Questa Wildland Urban Interface: 550-acre fuel reduction
treatment directly adjacent to the community of Lama, NM, population
150, and 5 miles downwind of Questa, population 2,000. The Lama
Neighborhood Association has unsuccessfully requested the treatment be
limited to 50 acres and a one-quarter mile zone around the community.
The ratio of acres treated to population served is 2:1.
Chaparral: 700-acre fuel reduction treatment in Sandoval
County, NM in an area whose only structures exist at a seasonally
occupied girl scout camp.
These examples illustrate the variety of fuel reduction projects taking
place under the Southwest Region's broad wildland urban interface
definition. The benefit of these projects to communities varies widely.
For example, in the Gallinas Watershed, every acre treated will benefit
44 people and will protect a municipal surface water supply. The Santa
Fe Watershed project also protects a municipal water supply, and its
geographic location will protect urban properties along the national
forest boundary. However, the Gallinas Watershed project concentrates
its treatment in a narrow geographic area, providing a much higher per
acre benefit than the treatment in the Santa Fe Watershed, which will
treat a larger area. The Thompson Ridge project provides a contrast to
both of these watershed examples, where every acre treated will benefit
3 primarily seasonal households.
Each wildland urban interface project, no matter how small, has
supportive constituents who will benefit directly from the treatment.
The challenge is to set meaningful priorities to reduce wildfire risk
across the nation and to bring immediate relief to the greatest number
of people. The 2002 wildfire season made a compelling case for the
urgency of action and illustrated that new policies are needed to
expedite fuel treatment. However, as the examples above illustrate, a
policy that uses a broad definition of wildland urban interface will not
promote an orderly sequencing of fuel reduction projects to reduce the
threat of catastrophic wildfire in the short-term.

Notes: Everett focused on team success
Outfielder has helped extend rallies in first two games
By Scott Merkin / MLB.com
And the outspoken White Sox designated hitter still won't talk to the Boston media in regard to his two years playing for the Red Sox, an often controversial time that covered the 2000 and 2001 seasons. His silence on the matter, though, certainly isn't because of a lack of effort from the Boston scribes.
"Basically, it's just repeated questions," said Everett, prior to the White Sox workout at Fenway Park on Thursday, as he was surrounded by inquiring media minds from Boston and Chicago. "It's the same questions recycled every time I come here. I come to play baseball and that's it. That's it."
The powerful switch-hitter has played a featured role during the two biggest White Sox postseason victories at U.S. Cellular Field over the defending World Series champions. Everett singled off Matt Clement in the first inning of Game 1 and came home on A.J. Pierzynski's three-run home run.
It was Everett's opposite-field single off David Wells in the fifth inning Wednesday that began a five-run, game-winning uprising, culminated by Tadahito Iguchi's three-run home run. Everett has been an important force in the White Sox lineup, more than filling the void in Frank Thomas' prolonged absence, whether he is hitting third, fifth or sixth.
His final numbers from 2005 showed 23 home runs and 87 RBIs, although the .251 average looked to be a bit disappointing for a career .277 hitter. Not in Everett's eyes.
Even though he finished 21-for-102 (.206) during the month of September, Everett pointed out that raw individual results don't always accurately depict the overall team contribution.
"Sometimes, it seems like a guy is going bad on paper. You see an 0-for-7 or an 0-for-8, but did you see his at-bats?" Everett said. "[Fans] look in the paper and you don't see it was a line drive or a ball that got robbed over the wall. All you see is that in the last 10 days, he's 0-for-30. You don't see if it was a good at-bat and did he move the guy over."That's why I don't believe in the word 'slump.' It's baseball. I keep swinging. That's all. It's going to happen. No player in the history of this game has had a great game every day. It has never happened, and it never will happen."
Everett also doesn't believe in getting hyped up because it's playoff competition, and he doesn't have any extra incentive to finish off the Red Sox in front of their home faithful. As Everett said, he simply enjoys playing the game and refuses to worry about the ancillary factors.
"I don't have pride, because after pride comes the fall. I go out and play the game hard. If it went well, it went well. If it didn't, it didn't. I'll sleep the same."
Closing thoughts: If the White Sox had their way, Tim Wakefield would give up five or six runs in the first inning Friday afternoon and they would easily wrap up their first postseason series victory since 1917. But a sense of urgency doesn't convey a sense of desperation in regard to sweeping this series.
Ultimately, the White Sox know they need one more victory in three games to advance.
"It's not going to be an easy task," said White Sox third baseman Joe Crede of finishing off the Red Sox. "They are a great team and can come back from a big deficit. We just want to carry the momentum we have built up into tomorrow or even the next day.
"We also want to get this done as quickly as we can," Crede added.
Who needs two? As a native of Providence, R.I., Paul Konerko figured there would be quite a few requests from friends and family members for tickets to Division Series contests played at Fenway Park.
But Konerko sent the word out early that he couldn't provide much help for these particular games. Nonetheless, he's confident that even the staunchest Red Sox fans in his support system will be cheering for the White Sox this weekend.
"The fact they won the World Series last year takes some heat off," Konerko said. "Now, they have their World Series and they can pull more for me. If they hadn't won last year, they would probably still be rooting against me."
Just doing his job: Calls of congratulations for Iguchi came in late last night as he was sleeping, following his game-winning blast off Wells. But Iguchi, a natural No. 3 hitter with great power while playing in Japan, took no extra satisfaction in using the long ball to produce the victory.
Iguchi has been forced to reduce his power and focus on situational hitting as the second hitter in the White Sox lineup this season.
"Anybody who hits a home run will feel good," said Iguchi through a translator. "My main goal is still for the team. If the team wins, then I provided something for the team."
Still the same: If the White Sox finish off Boston Friday evening, manager Ozzie Guillen believes Jon Garland still will open the American League Championship Series Tuesday. The team hasn't deviated from its set rotation all season and doesn't want to start now.
"But like I say, I made my rotation about who is the best pitcher I have," Guillen said. "I think the reason [Jose] Contreras was the first guy on my team was he was the first guy throwing at that particular time.
"I have to be in that position first to make the decision," Guillen added.
Cramped quarters: Some of the media members joked with Guillen in regard to possibly celebrating a trip to the ALCS in the cramped environs of the visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park. But Guillen pointed out that he was in Wrigley Field's visiting quarters for both Florida's pennant-clinching victory in 2003 and for a Braves' division title celebration as a player. Fenway should be no problem compared to the confined area at Wrigley.

Moulton man on tractor killed in traffic crash
Nov. 8, 2011 at 5:08 a.m.
A 51-year-old Moulton man died Saturday after a traffic crash in Lavaca County.
About 10 a.m., Henry Claude Jalufka was traveling east on Farm-to-Market Road 532 on a 1953 Farmall tractor when he attempted to turn left into a private drive.
A 2007 Jeep driven by Jennifer Leigh Cromley, 18, of Moulton, also traveling east behind Jalufka, attempted to pass the tractor at the same time it began to turn and struck it, said Department of Public Safety spokesman Trooper Gerald Bryant.
Jalufka was ejected from the tractor. He was taken by helicopter to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio where he was pronounced dead, Bryant said.
The wreck is still under investigation by DPS Trooper Justin Slovacek.
No charges have been filed.

Have you ever wondered about how the Stones got together? On May 2, 1962, Brian Jones, the [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Rolling Stones[/lastfm]' original guitarist, placed an ad in a high-profile music magazine with hopes to recruit other members for the group.
The publication "Jazz Times" featured his ad, and his first response was from a pianist named Ian Stewart. This is when when history was made. [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mick Jagger[/lastfm] and his longtime friend [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Keith Richards[/lastfm] also saw the ad and went for an audition at a London club called the Bricklayer's Arms.
Geoff Bradford and Brian Knight, well-known local blues musicians, also appeared at the audition, but decided not to join because they weren't fans of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Chuck Berry[/lastfm] like the other members.
Bassist [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Bill Wyman[/lastfm] also turned up for an audition and the group accepted him. He owned a highly sought after Vox AC30 amplifier plus he was willing to share his cigarettes. The newly formed group later recruited rising jazz drummer [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Charlie Watts[/lastfm] as well.

Booksplus, a library book discussion program for adults, will be talking about Rachel Joyce's first novel The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry. It's a book about a long journey to help a friend. One morning shortly after he retired, Harold received a letter from Queenie Hennessy, his love from long ago. She informs him that she is in a nursing home and dying. He writes a bland message on a card, yet on the way to the mailbox, he decides that he must deliver it to Queenie in person. Thus, Harold begins his pilgrimage where he encounters many interesting people who teach him--old as he is--about life. And what about his wife, Maureen, whom he left at home? She too is jolted and changed by Harold's journey.
Rachel Joyce, the author of this book, wrote twenty radio plays for the BBC after acting for a couple of decades. In a recent interview, she describes why she wrote her first novel, "I began writing this as a radio play when my father told me he was dying. He had spent years battling cancer, and after several brutal operations, surgeons told him there was nothing left to be done. He was very frightened and so was I. I was appalled at the idea of not having my father. I was appalled at the idea of watching him die. But both happened, and while they did I wrote this story about a man who sets off to save someone else. It was my escape. My way of making sense. And somehow also my way of finding the flip side to my complicated, wild grief."
In an interview in the Canadian magazine, Chatelaine, Joyce described the process of creating Harold's journey. "Harold's route begins and passes through places I know, love, or have passed myself.... That is the way with this book – it has a lot of what I know or have seen. (This is true too of the people Harold meets.) Kingsbridge, for instance, which is Harold and Maureen's hometown, is where my husband was brought up. The barn where Harold spends his first night outside is next to where we live. Every day on the school run, I pass the view where Harold makes his big realization about the nature of his walk. But when I didn't know a place myself, I researched it very thoroughly. I studied maps, guide books, the internet and photos. As I wrote the book I had endless notes about Harold's journey. I knew which road he was on every day, as well as how many miles he had walked and where he slept. I knew the reader didn't always need to know these things but I also knew that I did. In the end I cut out the pages of our road map and stuck them in a long chain up two walls of our house. My husband rang one day – lost on the A 46 – and said, 'The road map has jumped from page 5 to 38. Is this anything to do with you?' Harold's journey, though, is also for me an emotional one. It's about doing something against the odds. And I felt that in writing my first book, I was on exactly the same journey as Harold; mine too was an act of faith with no guarantee of success or completion. His fears and doubts and moments of certainty all echoed mine."
Summer is a time for travelling and for visiting family and friends. Join us to discuss this delightful story about an older man rediscovering life while exploring his country.
The discussion group will meet in Room 2B at 2 p.m. Feel free to drop in.

HOUSTON - Harris County Civil Court Judge R. Jack Cagle was named as the replacement for former Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Jerry Eversole on Monday.
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett named Cagle as the temporary replacement from a list of 66 hopefuls. Cagle was elected as the presiding judge of Harris County Civil Court at Law No. 1 in November 2000 and took the bench on Jan. 1, 2001.
Emmett and Cagle, 50, are old friends and fellow Rice University graduates.
Cagle recently moved into precinct 4 to satisfy residency requirements
"In the last four years, I did live on the edge of the precinct," Cagle said. "And with redistricting ? I moved shortly after redistricting came in. Now I'm a resident."
"The only residency requirement is to live in the precinct on the date of appointment," Emmett said.
Cagle served as an election precinct chairman in precinct four and kept a law office in the area.
"If you have a passion for the future and you're a judge, you have to lay those judicial robes down and seek the opportunity to serve another avenue," Cagle said. "Judge (Emmett), I lay my robes down and I join arm in arm with you for the future to take care of the parks, the potholes and to plan to build a great future."
Cagle is set to take the oath of office on Tuesday.
"During this process, my goal was to find someone who could best serve the constituents of Precinct 4," Emmett said. "I met with and spoke with dozens of folks in the community about the Precinct 4 commissioner's position in recent weeks. Jack quickly emerged as the top candidate because of his mature judgment, keen intellect, unquestioned integrity and his many years of work in the community. He will serve the residents of Precinct 4 with great passion and hard work, and I genuinely look forward to working with him in the years to come."
Some political observers believe Emmett sees Cagle as an ally. Emmett has run into opposition from other commissioners recently in his attempts to restructure county government.
"One would suspect Judge Emmett made this appointment with some expectation that this will be someone who will be supportive of him as county judge at the court," Democratic political consultant Keir Murray said.
Cagle made it clear he wants the commissioner's job permanently. He's been active in Republican politics for 25 years.
"He's been elected three times countywide. He's a name people know. He is well known to the grass roots cause. He came out of the grass roots when he ran for judge. That ends up being a big plus," said Gary Polland, former Harris County Republican Party director.
Voters in Precinct 4 will vote for a permanent replacement in 2012.
On Friday, Eversole pleaded guilty to lying to a federal investigator. He had been charged with conspiracy, accepting a bribe and making false statements on tax returns in 2003 and 2004. All of those charges were dismissed.
Part of the plea deal involved Eversole resigning from office. He submitted that resignation earlier this month and it became effective Saturday. He is also not allowed to run for public office for 10 years.
Eversole will be sentenced in January. He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
Precinct 4 is the largest in Harris County with more than a million residents and an annual budget of $119 million.

The changes at Camp Zoe precipitated a shopping trip to cleanse Taylor's energy with "new looks." Rachel settled on "glam rock," and Brad was pressured into "lesbian DJ chic." In reality, Zoe served bony Fraggle, and Brad gave us last year's Eurotrash.Once the new looks were procured, attention turned to dressing the 2010 Golden Globe attendees: Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, and possibly Paula Patton.Brad welcomed Ashley to her first day at the Zoe asylum. His very first words of advice were a cryptic warning to watch out for Taylor when she's out pulling styles for the Globes.Rachel planned on an architectural Marchesa for Kate Hudson. Even though she already had it in a bold and unique berry flavor, she insisted on getting it remade in white. For Cameron, Rachel and Brad eyed a red cap-sleeved McQueen gown. Garner apparently had a dress boner for some lilac (looked grey) beaded Versace that still needed to be lined. Four attendees and no confirmed dresses sent Rachel into an unnecessary fit of anxiety. She ordered an immediate edit, dividing the great from the mediocre on the racks.Ashley tried to add her opinion, but her input was drowned out by Rachel and Brad's "so mayjahs!" While rolling in the racks, Paula Patton was confirmed as an attendee, and Rachel immediately delegated dressing her to the newbie Ashley. Crystal Gayle-haired Ashley stopped by Starworks to collect wardrobe options for Paula Patton. She pulled tent after shapeless tent for the pregnant Paula; none of it looking particularly Globe-worthy.Rachel obsessed over some Versace gown that she had only peeped in a sketch. From the sketch alone, it was obvious this dress was totally inappropriate for the Globes and Cameron Diaz. Why would Cameron Diaz wear a long-sleeved grey granny gown to the Globes? The sacred dress was accidentally handed off to the wrong courier at the hotel, and Team Zoe lost their proverbial shit trying to find it. Finally Lucio, Versace's rep, called with the news that the dress had taken a sojourn to Malibu to visit Pierce Brosnan, but had been located and was on its way. As soon as it arrived, wrinkled, grey, long-sleeved, and matte, it was abundantly clear that the dress would never work. After all the unnecessary drama, Rachel dismissed the dress and Lucio with a squint eye and flip of the hand.During Brad's extra homosexual pilates lesson, he had an epiphany that he should encourage Ashley to speak up and voice her opinion. When Ashley arrived the next morning, Brad explained that he brings the gay man's perspective, but Ashley needed to vocalize the female perspective because he did not wear women's clothes. Really Brad?Brad broke the news to Rachel that Taylor is dressing a producer for the Golden Globes. Rachel soured at the notion and then announced she was too busy taking the high road. She told Rodger, "I hate the high road." If this is Rachel taking the high road, what does it look like when she rolls in the gutter? Brad called Rachel and informed her that the dress they pulled for Cammie was from Alexander McQueen Autumn/Winter 09. Rachel declared this unacceptable, even though any stylist worth her Gucci would know what collection that McQueen came from the minute it entered the showroom. Even if it is "archive," if it hasn't been photographed, who gives a fuck? Zoe favorite Molly Sims stopped by to collect looks for the Art of Elysium and InStyle parties. Molly declared, "I'm not nominated, I'm not presenting…" No shit you aren't nominated or presenting. Seriously, who did you blow to even get invited? Sims hung all over "Bradley," and whirled around the studio slipping in and out of gowns. One of the most frustrating things about this show is that they never pick the best look! This was the best look.
However, this ill-fitting, blue, upholstered Ports 1961 mess was selected for Art of Elysium, and a shapeless Marchesa tent for the Globes party. We all know you are trying to get into Weinstein's good graces, but please stop trying to make Marchesa happen. Wearing Marchesa to the Globes is like wearing Jessica McClintock to prom.
Bieber-haired Rodger tried to get reacquainted with his nutsack by watching the playoffs with the boys. In a hyper display of masculinity, Rodger scooped up his friend's baby, cradled it gently, and insisted on taking a picture and sending it to Rachel.Rain clouds gathered, and this sent Team Zoe into a tizzy, declaring the weather "not fair" and a "nightmare!" The idea of her clients encumbered by holding up their gowns and the money shots cluttered with umbrellas caused Rachel to dub the entire event a "fashion disaster!"Team Zoe gathered on the couch to see the attendees work the carpet. First Cam in the red McQueen: this is a gorgeous dress, but we can agree that these are the wrong shoes. As you already know, red lips with a red dress is a no-no; a softer lip was needed to avoid looking garish.
Next, Kate dressed in Marchesa. Rachel should have kept it berry, because Hudson bordered on bridal, and the white platform shoes evoked stripper.
Garner just doesn't have it. Dress her in whatever; she's a fucking snooze.
Rachel seemed pleased with Paula Patton. Her approval allowed Ashley to exhale with relief for the first time all week. This look doesn't offend, but it doesn't really wow either.

Since the late-60s, Canadian-born Leonard Cohen has bewildered us with bejewelled lyrics and nightshade humor. Leonard Cohen tickets have been snapped up by hep-cats, jazzmen, mystics, hippies and political militants, such is the breadth of Cohen's roving eye. Tickets to Leonard Cohen shows are a trip into dark modern shamanism and imperfection. Cohen's straight-talk has meandered - pardon the contradiction - through the West's post-war landscape like a black beast drunk on its own intelligence. Not for Cohen is the elegance of physics or popular stereotypes; Cohen is a poet, hellbent on dissecting our vicissitudes and presenting them in all their asymmetric, unjust glory. He knows our coveted superiority will always be tempered by the ways in which our rulers wield it. His monumental "Everybody Knows" said it all with the words, "Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody rolls with their fingers crossed..." And everybody knows that the Leonard Cohen tour schedule is one of the biggest Folk-Beat-Rock phenomena to hit the live stage in years. Buy Leonard Cohen tour tickets now and come take a look at one of the most respected Rock poets of all time.Leonard Cohen Recovers from Fainting Incident

Fans of the deep-minded poet will be relieved to learn that their hero is fine and dandy, and that the Leonard Cohen tickets they bought to see the man are still legal tender. Don't miss this Leonard Cohen tour 2010, it might be the last we ever see, and that would be a great shame.

"On Wednesday (02/05/2014), at 11 clock, a Porsche has caught on fire on the Wilerstrasse. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire. The car suffered a total loss in the amount of CHF 200'000. A Porsche GT3 drove on the A1 highway towards St.Gallen. When the driver perceived strange noises from the engine area, he left the highway. On the Wilerstrasse the driver stopped the car. He saw leaking oil and smoke is in the rear engine. A short time later the Porsche caught fire. The fire was extinguished by the fire department. The cause of the fire will be investigated by the Forensic Science Service of the Canton of St. Gallen police."
In the interest of safety 991 GT3 owners should park their cars for now. Apparently five vehicles have suffered this fate. Here is the perspective of the president of an Italian Porsche club from the Rennteam Forums who saw a club members car also go up in flames:
"I am the administrator of Porsche Club Campania, an Italian Porsche club.A member of our Club last Saturday was near Avellino, in the south of Italy, his gt3 was really new, just 60kms. First the warning LOW OIL PRESSURE in the display and after few seconds his GT3 was burning. The gt3 DESTROYED is now at the PORSCHE CENTER NAPOLI and this morning an engineer from Stuttgart came here to see the car. It is the 5th gt3 in Europe that burned with the same problem. It seems that Porsche already know where is the problem but I don't know if the dealer will be able to fix the problem. I will keep you updated."
Porsche has yet to officially comment on the issue and they are more than likely aware as apparently deliveries of GT3's are halted until further notice.
