The San Diego Chargers are hoping for a defeat against the Broncos this Sunday -- but can one local superfan help get them there?
Bolts fanatic Ryan Russell caught the eye of the owner of the Harbor Town Pub bar and eatery in San Diego's Point Loma area last Saturday after NBC 7's Artie Ojeda interviewed him at the Cincinnati game.
While Russell has never been to the bar, staff is convinced he is the Chargers' lucky charm. He is a die-hard Bolts fanatic in every sense.
This season, Russell has traveled four times to watch the team play away from home – including the wild-card game against the Bengals. All four times the Bolts won.
"People are calling me the lucky charm," Russell said. "I hope I am. I hope they can go to Denver and get this win."
Harbor Town Pub believes in both the Bolts and Russell's so-called fan magic, and is putting its money where its mouth is.
"We have to get this guy to the Charger game," pub staffer Kristina Thiel said.
Pub employees and management recently found Russell on Facebook and contacted him with an offer he couldn't refuse.
"Got him airfare, hotel transportation, tickets to the game – the whole shebang," Thiel explained.
That's right, the bar is flying Russell to Denver in hopes that he can help bring the Chargers that big win come Sunday. At the last minute, the whole "shebang" cost the bar $1,300.
But it's worth it, according to Harbor Town Pub manager Ian Aspinall.
"Once we beat the Bengals we sat down and said, 'Hey, what can we do to keep this guy rolling?'" Aspinall told NBC 7.
For his part, Russell is thrilled to take the pub up on its offer and travel to Denver this weekend.
Russell is packing light, leaving room in his over-the-shoulder luggage for a win. He predicts the score will be 38-34, Chargers.
Now, before Russell came along, the pub's lucky charm was a photo of a Bolts helmet that was placed above the door of the business.
However, Russell is the new good luck charm -- the first actual person to be considered so by the pub.

As you probably know the new Mozilla EULA is causing quiet a ruckus in the Ubuntu community. At least from what I know so far.
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s....0/+bug/269656
- http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post...ng-debate.html
I'm currently on a ad hoc debate about this issue but I would ike to understand more of what the problem is all about. Honestly I cannot understand why the criticism.
One one hand, Ubuntu doesn't provide a "Social Contract" in any terms similar to Debian's, for which I don't see the problem of the EULA's being displayed on FF first use under Ubuntu. On the other hand, I can see this EULA making it difficult to justify FF presence in the Ubuntu's Main repository and having eventually to move it to Restricted. But there is nothing stopping Ubuntu from using software from this repository as default software.
I'm also a little confused as to why so many feel this issue had to be openly debated? For one I cannot see how a conclusion would ever be reached and Ubuntu culdn't just wait for said decision on behalf of the commmunity, neither could it just wipe out FF and replace it with something else while de debate went along, without this affecting the product.
Finally... given the Mozilla EULA classifying the product as a commercial product, doesn't this in fact force Mozilla to adopt the EULA under USA laws? I'm asking this last one because there's some debate whether Mozilla needed in fact an EULA and this is all just Mozilla nitpicking...

Something phenomenal happened last Thursday, a previous post of mine generated over 3000 hits in one day, the said post is here. The preferred search word was 'Jean Shrimpton now'. The reason for this sudden flurry of interest was the airing of John McKays film, 'We'll Take Manhattan' on Britains BBC 4. The story centres around Bailey and Shrimpton's ground breaking 1962 photo shoot in New York, their love affair and the struggle to persuade stuffy old British Vogue to try something fresh, young and different.
I watched and it was a highly enjoyable frothy drama, which perfectly fits in with the trend for recent history period dramas and the vintage clothing revolution. I especially enjoyed Helen McCrorys characterisation of the slightly neurotic British Vogue fashion editor Lady Clare Rendlesham and the small appearance of Diana Vreeland, I would have liked to have seen more of her! For those of you reading overseas, here is the trailer, I am sure it has already been sold abroad and if it does not appear on your screens soon, no doubt it will be on DVD.
Another post that received a flurry of hits is here, a post about Jean and her modelling contemporaries and what happened to them after the sixties.
In pre 1960's Britain most models were patrician beauties, plucked from the families of the landed gentry, it seems even a well brought up, middle class young lady from the home counties didn't quite cut the mustard. And if that was not enough, a cheeky, working class, young photographer wanted to photograph her amidst a raw, gritty environment and pose her naturally. Below are Baileys photographs of seventeen year old Jean Shrimpton which caused such a fuss but contributed to the sixties youth quake liberation and the blurring of the social classes in sixties Britain.
And later... a polished Jean Shrimpton and one of the greatest models of all time.
Following the film was an excellent documentary on David Bailey 'Six Bars to the Beat' (how I love BBC 4, so glad this channel was saved from being axed as part of the BBC cuts). Crusty, weasy, sniggery old Bailey, he is now 73. At times he can be toe curlingly crude but I couldn't help but like him, refreshingly non politically correct and he does talk a lot of sense. Talking heads included, Jerry Hall, Catherine Deneuve, Mary Quant and Catherine Bailey.
In the documentary Bailey declared that the only model that has the same qualities that Shrimpton had is Kate Moss, Bailey went onto to discuss how their brand of beauty is universally appealing, I can't remember his exact words but I think he mentioned how they could be the girl next door and how they are not classical beauties but beautiful. I thought I would explore this...
Just like Jean Shrimpton but for very different reasons Kate Moss did break the mould when she bounced onto the scene in 1989, her story is well known and has become fashion legend, when she was 14 years old she was spotted at JFK airport by Storm model agency founder and owner Sarah Dukas, controversy followed, too young, too thin etc. Controversy has been following Kate ever since but she was completely different to the intimidatingly beautiful, curvaceous, Amazonian supermodels who were dominating the catwalks, glossies and pop videos of the late eighties and early nineties.
Peter Lindeberghs photograph of the supermodels, British Vogue cover January 1990
Corinne Days photoshoot of fifteen year old Kate Moss for The Face magazine
Polished Kate, heading towards 40, enduringly photogenic, Mario Testino for Vogue August 2011
To further investigate Baileys claims of the similar appeal of Kate and Jean I thought it may help to see them both on film...
Young Kate auditioning for a L'Oreal commercial
Jean Shrimpton in the 1967 film privilege
There is no doubt that both women are beautiful, with incredible bone structure and both ridiculously photogenic. I wonder, will they be making a film about Kate Moss in fifty years time? As there is a sculpture in her image cast in gold and Lucien Freuds painting of her sold for 3.93million pounds, not to mention her well documented rock and roll lifestyle...I think it's a certainty.
If your still hanging in there you can see and hear more of Baileys thoughts here...

Ten Great Green Career Resources
Finding a green job takes more than an interest in environmental issues. In fact, being on top of the issues, trends, and innovations is the name of the job-hunting game in the green economy and a sustainable future. The more you know, the more you shine and the more valuable you become to potential eco-friendly employers. If you want to start a green career, then start with the resources listed here.
Make sense of global warming. Although there are a number of good reasons to create a sustainable economy, one of the biggest motivators is the state of the Earth's climate. Familiarizing yourself with the issues of global warming, climate change, and related issues provides you with a strong foundation for your green career. In addition, having an overview of the general concepts and issues helps you determine where you want to focus your time, energy, and talents in your career. Explore these topics from several perspectives to pick up nuances and facts that strengthen your knowledge.
Track legislative action. As you prepare to shift into a green career or manage your current one, you must keep your finger on the pulse of the green economy. With new policies, treaties, incentives, disincentives, and funding sources coming into play, the green economy is evolving each and every week. The factors shaping the new economy have the capacity to bring growth or contraction with the flick of a pen. To have a handle on your target industry, and more important your job status, you must invest time each week in tracking major developments. Try Green Career Central, Green For All, and the Apollo Alliance to start.
Follow green economy developments. The old adage, follow the money, definitely applies in the green economy. Understanding which industries and organizations are receiving money helps you ascertain where to focus. Sites that may help include Recovery.gov and GreenBiz.com.
Scan for innovation. If you're inspired and motivated by the discoveries and innovations of others, use these sites as your muse. Set aside some time to explore these sites in detail. Clear your calendar, so you can expand your vision of what's possible and discover what is happening right now: TED, Planet Green, the Science Channel, and GreenBiz.com's reports on innovative design.
Grasp green business concepts. To thrive in the new economy, it's essential that you familiarize yourself with the issues businesses are facing as they strive to become more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Refer to the Sierra Club's blog for a list of environmental, sustainable, and green book titles. Enter book roundup in the search engine to pull up hundreds of fascinating green titles.
Search for green information. Use the following tools to gather information and additional resources pertaining to your target green industry and career: Wikipedia, Google, and green industry profiles.
Identify green networking hubs. One of the most effective ways to move your green career forward is to build a strong green network. Connecting with people in your local area, or even online, who are committed to sustainability and community action puts you in touch with a network of people who share your values and intentions. You can find green organizations in your area through green teams (check with your city hall), Cool Cities teams, environmental and other volunteer organizations, and professional networking groups such as Eco Tuesdays, Green Drinks, and Net Impact.
Find green companies. Identifying the companies and organizations that match your values is a critical part of your job search. To find a list of companies that fits a particular criterion, try association membership lists (such as Social Venture Network), books and Web sites that list companies who are doing great work (such as the Vault Guide to Green Programs or Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build Competitive Advantage), and ratings by watchdog groups and research organizations (such as Climate Counts).
Stay motivated and entertained. Need an inspirational boost to remind you why you want to help the green movement through your profession? Snap you out of your complacency with The Story of Stuff, Who Killed the Electric Car?, Planet Earth, or An Inconvenient Truth. Find even more through the GRIST blog and the Sierra Club blog.

Current Blue-Green Algae Warnings and Advisories
Warning lifted at
Old Herington City Lake
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is continuing regular testing of recreational bodies of water for blue-green algae. When harmful algal blooms are present, KDHE, in cooperation with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) and other lake managers where appropriate, responds by informing the public of these conditions. This past week's testing of samples resulted in the warnings and advisories listed below, as well as the Public Health Warning being lifted at
Old Herington City Lake
When an advisory has been lifted, health officials advise lake visitors to still exercise caution and look out for algae blooms in the water, as conditions can change quickly depending on the weather. Some algae blooms can look like foam or a thick slurry. The blooms can be blue, bright green, brown or red, and they may look like paint floating on the water.
A Public Health Warning indicates that water conditions are unsafe and direct water contact (i.e., wading, skiing and swimming) is prohibited.
public waters currently under "Warning" status:
♦ Herington Reservoir,
Dickinson County
Logan City Lake,
Phillips County
♦ Marion Reservoir,
Marion County
♦ Memorial/Veterans Lake –
Great Bend,
Barton County
When a Warning is issued, KDHE recommends the following precautions be taken:
• Don't let people, pets and livestock drink untreated lake water
• Don't swim, wade or engage in other activities with full body contact of lake water, including skiing or jet-skiing
• Clean fish and rinse with clean water, consume only the fillet portion, and discard all other parts
• Do not allow pets or livestock to eat dried algae
• If lake water contacts skin or pet fur, wash with clean potable water as soon as possible
• Avoid areas of visible algae accumulation
A Public Health Advisory indicates that a hazardous condition exists. Water activities like boating and fishing may be safe; however, direct contact with water (i.e., wading, swimming) is strongly discouraged for people, pets and livestock.
public waters currently under "Advisory" status:
Brown County State Fishing Lake,
Brown County
♦ Lovewell Reservoir,
Jewell County
South Lake,
Johnson County
When an Advisory is issued, KDHE recommends the following precautions be taken:
• Don't let people, pets and livestock drink untreated lake water
• Clean fish and rinse with clean water, consume only the fillet portion, and discard all other parts
• Do not eat or allow pets to eat dried algae
• If lake water comes in contact with skin or pet fur, wash with clean potable water as soon as possible
• Avoid areas of visible algae accumulation
Health effects from exposure to blue-green algae can vary. The most common complaints after recreational exposure include vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes, eye irritation and respiratory symptoms. Blue-green algae toxins can also cause deaths in pets.
NOTE: It is safe to eat fish caught during a harmful blue-green algae outbreak, as long as consumers clean and rinse the fish with clean, potable water; eat only the fillet portion; and discard all other parts. People should also wash their hands with clean, potable water after handling fish taken from an affected lake.
KDHE will continue to monitor these public waters and will update statements as conditions warrant. More information on algae and algae blooms, including up-to-date Advisories and Warnings, can be found at online atkdheks.gov/algae-illness.

Food Artisans: Pockets Full of Dough
A different New York artisan every week.
For her business, Pockets Full of Dough, Mirijana Ujkic draws on both the Old World (she was born in Montenegro and frequently returned to visit her grandparents, who made their own cheese, cured meats, honey, and grappa) and the New sources as much produce as possible from the east end of Long Island where she grew up and enjoys experimenting with unconventional flavors in her baked goods and handmade pastas.
"It's important to me to do everything by hand," Ujkic says, "including making most of the components." Those components range from the pasta and pastry doughs themselves to ravioli fillings and her own vanilla extract.
Making everything herself gives her an unparalleled degree of control over the products. She explains, "I started making my own cheese for my crustless Italian cheesecake because commercial ricotta never worked very well—it has a really high water content. I tried making it and it yielded such great results, I just went from there."
A number of her pastas incorporate seafood from Long Island; her partner, Keith Knott, is a former commercial fisherman who has maintained relationships with local suppliers. "Long Island is capable of supplying fresh seafood 12 months out of the year," Ujkic says, which gives her and Knott access to "great, fresh seafood" as well as a way to support local harvesters, something that is very important to both of them.
It also was important Ujkic that she find a way for their business to benefit special needs children. To that end, she and Knott work together teaching pasta-making classes to children and young adults on the autism spectrum at University Settlement on the Lower East Side. "There aren't many activities targeted to that population," she explains, "and pasta making is great for the sensory integration disorders" that many of the kids have. "They touch the dough and play with it, then take it home and eat it." Knott is also a therapist who specializes in working with autistic kids, so there's also a clinical aspect to the classes: "sequencing, parallel play, appropriate social time with their peers." She adds, "The parents really get into it too."
Pockets Full of Dough will be at the Fulton Stall Market beginning August 4.

Nelson Mandela "a giant among men" says Director-General
UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova today paid tribute to former South African President Nelson Mandela, who died on Thursday night, 5 December.
"Nelson Mandela was truly a giant among men," Irina Bokova said. "He not only changed South Africa's history, he changed the world and made it a better place. He taught us all a lesson on the power of peace and reconciliation; the importance of forgiveness and respect for the dignity of each and every human being .
"UNESCO is proud and honoured to have counted Nelson Mandela as a member of its family," the Director-General said. "The greatest tribute we can pay him, is to carry on his message of hope and to continue his fierce defense of the values he stood for."
"My thoughts go out to his family, and indeed to all of the people of South Africa, who are mourning his passing."
In 1991, Nelson Mandela was awarded the UNESCO-Houphouet-Boigny Peace Prize. In later years, he served the Organization as a Goodwill Ambassador.

Love my Equinox!
I loved my Equinox so much that when it came time to get a new vehicle, I got another Equinox. Kiante made my process as painless as possible.

Love my new Silverado
Carl Black is the best dealership I have had the pleasure so business with. This is my 5th vehicle that i have purchased from Carl Black Chevrolet. Their customer service is top notch and they make you feel like family. Thank you

Kiante Young is the reason I recommend this dealership
After driving a Nissan Leaf for 6 years I came to Carl Black Chevrolet to lease a Chevy Bolt. My husband and I were fortunate to connect with Kiante Young. He hadn't sold or leased a Chevy Bolt when we first met but he did a deep dive research on the car so that he could answer every question before we came back the next day. I've had the car for 1 year and discovered yesterday that the charger cord wasn't working properly. I left two messages with the service department. When I didn't get a return call, I called Kiante. He was on it! I was at the dealership 20 minutes later and within another 20-30 minutes I was back on the road with a new charger cord. He is professional, kind and even remembered who I was after a year. I've never had such a great experience with a Car Sales Professional. Carl Black Chevrolet will have my business as long as he's there.
Nov 01, 2019
From the first phone call to driving off the lot, Carl Black Chevrolet was amazing. Friendly, courteous, upfront and personable. I love my 2020 Silverado
Jun 18, 2019
Great experience..
Very fast approval. Not to much wait, sales rep was great. Great experience and very friendly staff. I will definitely recommend to all my friends.

Air was not working, , Carl black did me right
Thought compressor was out, thought fuse was bad, thought everything except for what Carl black found. Thank you for taking care of me, not just my car
May 06, 2019
They were incredibly helpful. My car is brand new and has multiple lights come on for what seemed to be no reason. Chris was able to get me in quickly and help solve the issue seeing as I was a little worried!
Apr 29, 2019
No pressure salesmen!
I went into dealership to basically look at their Tahoes, I really didn't know if I was going to trade for sure. They made the process so hassle fee and easy! No pressure by salesman, Kiante Young, whatsoever.
Apr 18, 2019
Awesome Job
All the staff was amazing to work with and very knowledgeable about the vehicle and went out of the way to do an excellent job to make the deal happen. This is the 2nd new car I personally bought here and the 5th one my family has bought from here.
Mar 25, 2019
Pleasant transaction!
The salesman, Kiante was super, very pleasant to deal with. Went out of his way to help us get what we wanted at the price we could afford. Walk us through the entire process and made sure we understood everything. We would highly recommend him!!! Giving him a five star plus rating.

Easy, Painless, and Accomodating
Here's why Carl Black totally rocks --- When I set out to buy a car I knew exactly what I was looking for, and I was in no mood to play "the game" with another cheesy car salesman... I visited probably 10 dealerships in my quest... Along that journey, I found a lot of cars that *almost* fit the description of what I wanted, but when I would start inquiring about buying, the salesmen at other dealerships would throw in the "Oh, well we added these accessories, and we put this and that on the car, so that's why we're going to have to charge you more than what it's worth..." ---- When I got to Carl Black, I looked at the car, and I told them that some things needed to be changed on the automobile before I would commit to buying... I expected the typical pushback of some sort, but all I got was absolute agreement and unbelievable cooperation... A car sale should be an agreement of equal value between two honest people - And that's exactly what Terrence at Carl Black gave me. I will do all my business here for the remainder of my time in this area. Top notch service.
Jan 01, 2019
No great

Dec 30, 2018
Great people to work with.
I hate buying cars, but this is the best dealership I have found. The people are friendly without a lot of BS. The service department is great also.
Dec 27, 2018
I was not expecting to purchase a vehicle when visiting the dealership, but the experience was pleasant and quick. Perform your research prior to purchasing a vehicle.
Dec 03, 2018
Totally Perfect!!!
Thursday, November 29, 2018, ...I purchased a 2018 Silverado LTZ Z71. This is the 8th vehicle I have bought from them during the past 9 years.....My daughter has purchased 2 vehicles, a 2016 Equinox and a 2018 crew cab Colorado pickup...... I have always been in great, honest, honorable hands from General Manager Gary Harms, Finance manager, Bob Miller, Sales managers Tremayne Townsend and Ahin Mohammad, each and every sales person on staff; Service manager Chris Stringer and his very courteous service staff, including very knowledgeable, effective and kind mechanics!! I know every employee at this dealership and have always had very pleasant experiences with every one of them.....I have so much respect for this entire dealership, from such a great friend as Gary Harms down to and including every employee of Carl Black Chevrolet, Nashville, TN.
Nov 12, 2018
This was not the dream car I wanted but I needed something in a hurry. First walking through the door I wasn't ignored. I was greeted in a nice manner and professionally. I was explained about every thing. Ended up with something affordable, clean and after riding around it I love it. I will always like a Chevy vehicle. Thank you Chevy.
Oct 28, 2018
Excellent Service and friendly staff!!!
This dealership was top notch! Kiante and the Manager they went above and beyond to make sure I purchased the car I was most comfortable with. Kiante gave me suggestions and his advice, but was in no way pushy what-so-ever. After I decided on a car the process was absolutely painless. So quick and professional. I felt like family by the end of the whole process! I would recommend Carl Black Chevrolet to anyone who is looking for a new or used vehicle and dont forget to ask for Kiante you wont regret it!!
Oct 08, 2018
Great staff
Great deal! Would definitely recommend. Sterling was great to work with and helped me get the best price. I'm enjoying the new Silverado truck.
Oct 01, 2018
Best experience ever
Carl Black had the Camaro I wanted at a great price. The whole team mad me feel like I had been a customer for years even though this was my first purchase. The management team showed me how car buying should be. Thanks to the whole Carl Black team.
Aug 30, 2018
Everyone made our buying experience quick, fast, and easy! This was our second purchase with the dealership and we were treated well by Keyontae, Jeremy, and his team! We will be back in the future. Thank you.
Aug 24, 2018
Kiante is the best
After reviewing many dealerships and multiple vehicles I decided to give Carl Black a look. I spoke with Kiante and honestly only decided to continue with the deal because of him. I wasn't impressed with the different lender chosen for my loan but found it to be fair nevertheless. After purchasing we ran across a recall for my vehicle and I had to be moved to a dealer unit until mine was repaired. The process went smoothly thanks to the help from Jeremy. Even though the financing was slightly different than expected it was a great visit with a great bunch of people. I would definitely come see Kiante again.
Aug 18, 2018
Great dealership
Always goes the extra mile to help you get the vehicle you want and a payment you can afford. Friendly staff and management, my family has purchased 4 vehicles from Carl Black and they stand behind the vehicle.

New car lease
This is my second purchase from Carl Black, my second lease. The process was easy and I was able to leave with the exact car that I wanted and within my payment budget.

Really good salesperson and manager. Followed through, not pushy. Kiante and Tremayne were personable, and lived up to commitments. I am sure money was still made, but impressed that they were able to beat other dealer price. NO SURPRISES once we got to the paperwork.

Love my new Chevy Colorado!!
I think the internet sales price listed should be spelled out very clearly and be the price no matter who buys the vehicle. None of the discounts should be with held. I thought that was going to be a problem but the dealership did the right thing and gave me the internet price listed.' I appreciated the way they came through!

Easy, Painless, and Accomodating
Here's why Carl Black totally rocks --- When I set out to buy a car I knew exactly what I was looking for, and I was in no mood to play "the game" with another cheesy car salesman... I visited probably 10 dealerships in my quest... Along that journey, I found a lot of cars that *almost* fit the description of what I wanted, but when I would start inquiring about buying, the salesmen at other dealerships would throw in the "Oh, well we added these accessories, and we put this and that on the car, so that's why we're going to have to charge you more than what it's worth..." ---- When I got to Carl Black, I looked at the car, and I told them that some things needed to be changed on the automobile before I would commit to buying... I expected the typical pushback of some sort, but all I got was absolute agreement and unbelievable cooperation... A car sale should be an agreement of equal value between two honest people - And that's exactly what Terrence at Carl Black gave me. I will do all my business here for the remainder of my time in this area. Top notch service.

I was explained about every thing. Ended up with something affordable, clean and after riding around it I love it. I will always like a Chevy vehicle. Thank you Chevy.

Terrence is an amazing addition to your dealership! I have purchased many cars from Carl Black! The main reason is Terrence. Terrence is a very professional individual that will no doubt continue to bring my business back to Carl Black.
Aug 29, 2018
From the time I pulled onto the lot I was help with any questions I had! I was wanting a more specific not very common vehicle but Terrence Robinson was not afraid to look at other dealership locations for what I wanted. I did not feel pressured to do anything at all! I would recommend Carl Black Chevrolet and Terrence to anyone! I hope to visit again someday for a new vehicle for my significant other!
Aug 13, 2018
Tremayne and the sales team were great. They were willing to work with me and find a vehicle that fit my budget. Super easy trade in discussions and believe I got a fair offer for my trade. Would recommend Carl Black to everyone and will be back to work with these guys!

New car purchases
We stopped in just to look at their current inventory. They had exactly what we wanted and a fair price. They worked with us and did everything they could to make the deal work. They even took in a trade that didn't benefit them. I can't say enough good things about them.
Jul 13, 2018
Most enjoyable car purchase of my life
Terrence made purchasing a car an enjoyable experience. He was thorough, answered all my questions about the car I wanted, and went to work hard for me in getting a loan that made sense for me. I will never purchase a car from anyone else !!!

My salesman wa 's patient and very thorough he new every function of the car I purchased and explained them to me, The greatest salesman ever "Terrance"

You will not be disappointed!
I went to Carl Black over a month ago and was not able to get into what I wanted. Mainly due to not wanting to go over a certain amount per month and not being willing to settle on anything over than what I wanted. I thought all hope was lost, but I received a call from Terrence Robinson over a month later who told me that they were able to get me into a similar car. Still not completely happy, I still decided to go down to the lot and give it a try. Good thing that I did, not only did they pay my 2011 kia forte off in full ( had over 204,000 miles) they were able to put me in the car that I originally wanted and for not much more than my max budget. If you are in the market for a new car, I will strongly suggest going to Carl Black and speaking with Terrence Robinson he will do everything that he can to put you in a reliable car and listen to your needs. I can honestly say that if i ever decide to get another car this is where i would go and anyone looking for a car this is where i would send them. I love my 2018 chevy cruze hatchback LT. With the friendly staff and comfortable environment I promise that you will not be dissapointed.

Since his most recent double-album "Fire & Ice," Kaskade has become shorthand for the arrival of stadium-sized EDM shows in America. After a decade honing his pointedly emotional, populist sound, he was the first dance act to headline Staples Center, and topped bills at most of the major EDM fests in America.
That's been great for his career -- but what does becoming a genre figurehead mean for your actual music? On "Atmosphere," it means getting more musical -- some of these tracks barely flirt with dance beats at all. Instead, there are winding little orchestras and even more prominent places for his raft of female guest vocalists.
It's hard to imagine many other EDM acts credibly deconstructing their sound like Kaskade does on "No One Knows Who We Are," a drum-less indie-pop piano ballad with guests Swanky Tunes and the singer Lights. Taken alongside Avicii's recent bluegrass-infused hit, it's both promising and a little nerve-wracking to see dance artists shedding the sonic principles that make them distinct.
But he tightens the genre reins on a trio of suites, "MIA to LAS," "LAX to JFK" and "SFO to ORD," that have some of John Tejada's chord-bending bounce. His teamup with School of Seven Bells, "Missing You," finds a nice deep-house stride; the producer even tackles lead vocals for the first time on the album's fizzy, trance-y title track.
About half the record is orthodox Kaskade -- clean-cut rave with a dreamy shimmer -- that fans will devour, but which doesn't move the genre much. But the other half is a laudable effort to broaden the palette for what big-tent EDM can do -- namely, go slower and feel more human. We'll see how it plays in arenas to come.

If you're wondering just how much your neighborhood Clark Griswold is paying to brighten the town with Christmas lights visible from outer space, the answer varies significantly from one part of the country to another.
In Knoxville, for example, a display on the order of Griswold's in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" - 100 strings each with 100 miniature lights (41 watts per string), one 100-watt Santa figure and a 450-watt set of floodlights illuminating a nativity scene - would generate added costs of $63. That's assuming the lights (totaling 4,650 watts) are left on seven hours per day for 30 days.
A New Yorker with the same display would be paying an extra $136 to spread holiday cheer, while a jolly homeowner in Hawaii would see an extra $160 on his or her electric bill. At the other end of the spectrum, a homeowner in Seattle would be paying just $50 for the same display, while a homeowner in Idaho Falls would be paying just an extra $53.
Whatever the added expense, homeowners can offset most or all of the additional cost of a light display with some simple energy-saving techniques in other areas of their home that will provide year-round cost savings. Research within the Buildings Technology Center of the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated a variety of ways homeowners can save money on energy bills.
"There are several simple and low-cost measures that a homeowner can take to realize anywhere from $10 to several hundred dollars of savings per year," said Mike Gettings, a researcher in ORNL's Engineering Science and Technology Division.
Looking at electricity rates around the nation, the highest (cents per kilowatt-hour/kwh) are in Alaska and Hawaii (Pacific Noncontiguous), where residents pay an average of 14.42 cents/kwh, while the lowest rates are in the East South Central, which is made up of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee. There, the average rate is 6.43 cents/kwh.
A more modest light display of 10 strings of 100 miniature lights and one 100-watt lighted Santa (510 watts total) in various parts of the country would cost as follows: .
- New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont): $22.52 (11.17 cents per kwh)
- Middle Atlantic (New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania): $22.96 (11.39 cents per kwh)
- East North Central (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin): $16.57 (8.22 cents per kwh)
- West North Central (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota): $14.82 (7.35 cents per kwh)
- South Atlantic (Delaware, District of Colombia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia): $15.52 (7.7 cents per kwh)
- East South Central (Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee): $12.96; (6.43 cents per kwh)
- West South Central (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas): $15.66 (7.77 cents per kwh)
- Mountain (Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming): $14.96 (7.42 cents per kwh)
- Pacific Contiguous (California, Oregon and Washington): $17.60 (8.73 cents per kwh); and - Pacific Noncontiguous (Alaska and Hawaii): $29 (14.42 cents per kwh)
Moving indoors, in Knoxville, for example, the cost of lighting a Christmas tree with six strings of 100 mini-lights (41 watts per string) would be about $3.35 for the month. In New York, that cost would be $7.21.
ORNL researchers have found that a homeowner can reduce his or her energy bill by as much as $50 per year simply by turning the water heater setting down to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Or, when it's time to replace the water heater, installing a residential heat pump water heater is an option that will pay the homeowner back with lower monthly bills in less than three years. The heat pump water heater was developed at ORNL and received an R&D 100 award in 2000 from R&D Magazine.
Another way to save money on energy bills and one with less initial cost than a heat pump water heater is to add air sealing around windows and doors, which can save up to $135 per year in the Northeast, $119 in the Midwest, $38 in the West and $74 in the South. Other cost-saving measures with initial costs ranging from just a few dollars to a few hundred include adding attic insulation, installing a programmable thermostat for heating systems, installing low-flow shower heads, installing wall insulation and replacing incandescent light bulbs with more efficient fluorescent bulbs.

This article is over two months old (via comments by someone called pc here) but I don't remember reading anything about it. Apparently local law enforcement folks in Douglas County, GA, are working in conjunction with the TSA on an operation the intent of which is "...deterring would-be terrorists or criminal activity." Of course they did this during rush hour, causing already hectic Atlanta traffic to become even more snarled.
So the TSA, already has employees in action searching trucks. What's next, a full-body pat down for getting on the toll road??

I first became interested in looking at how flavour worked back in 2000 at Isola. It was the Head chef, Bruno Lubet, who introduced me to the work of Ferran Adria and prompted me to start to writing to him: asking questions about how he was making some of his cocktails and about his ideas. This communication was, in essence, what stimulated me to scratch behind the surface of what a cocktail was. Having been involved in various projects since then, I have been able, not only use a great deal of these techniques, but also create new ones; some using the simple basics of science, others; far more complex. Nevertheless, it must be emphasised that science is not the only avenue I have followed over the years, there have been many influences, from designers to perfumers to books on alchemy, the list is endless, but I have never strayed far from my love of the cocktail.
Last year I was involved in a project that asked me to show case some of the ideas I have learnt from chefs, to give bartenders an in road to this way of thinking. I have always known that these techniques are not for everybody but there are defiantly things that can be used in any bar at any level, so see this more as the opening of a toolbox…and only use the tools that are relevant to the work that you are doing.
This year I will be showing far more techniques with strictly cocktail references. Here we go:
Take three words that you have heard a million times "A Dry Martini" how many times have those words reverberated in your eardrums? Now think how many times have you thought beyond what you have immediately been asked for?
We know what a dry martini is, we know that by asking a series of questions you will be able to garner the dryness required by adding the appropriate amount of vermouth, we also know that the series of actions that follow the initial request will achieve the finished drink. It is fair to say that it is no secret that the alcohol and the herbs in the vermouth is what provides the slight dry-ish feeling in your mouth. From here your mouth reacts and produces saliva. In turn the stimulation of the saliva glands prepares your stomach for the on coming food, producing that hungry feeling… job done in the aperitif department. The dryness comes from the reaction of the alcohol within your mouth, and the botanicals mainly with-in the gin; but if you then take that further and isolate the ingredients and processes that make the dryness happen.
Once you have discovered this, you are armed with the knowledge that you can re-add those ingredients to the drink and create that dry sensation in a pleasant manner, and that adds to the experience of Dryness in the martini. That would be a truly "Dry" Martini!
By deconstructing the processes of drinks and how they work you can really begin to play with them. However, it is very much about being very precise about what you are doing slap dash efforts produce slap dash results. Start with asking yourself simple questions about flavours or ingredients that you use everyday, i.e.: how does sweet and sour work? Why does my mint not keep fresh? Etc (Ps Wikkipedia is an amazing tool!)
Next the Millefleur Champagne Cocktail is a drink I worked on for almost 2 years. It was from studying of work of perfumers and reading books on alchemy that I realized the links between the three disciplines and the shared history. I started looking for a usable perfume (useable in the sense that its original notes had ingredients that could be found or be replicated into food grade essences to make the translation). That perfume was the iconic perfume. I then set about working on how I was to translate the notes in the perfume into an ingestible replica and which delivery system to use in the cocktail.
After a lot of trial and error (writing everything down at each turn) I managed to get an accurate translation of the perfume. The delivery system was, in a way, decided for me in that although there was no direct translation for aldyhydes, which is one of the structural notes of the perfume, the note has been described as musty champagne floral. I then consulted some sommelier friends in order to find a champagne which would achieve both of these things: musty and floral.
I knew the drink would have to try and emulate the perfumes iconic status; within the cocktail world, making the cocktail, as distinguished and elegant as possible was the priority, it was therefore easy to narrow if down the style to a classic champagne cocktail. This choice of delivery system inadvertently saved me a great deal of time solving another problem; how to ensure that the cocktail. As prior experiment, I had tried to use a classic martini as the delivery system, but the volatiles where lost due to the low temperature, but by using the champagne, which is served at a slightly higher temperature, the volatiles carried well. In addition, the bubbles helped by carrying the essences to the top of the drink….
The result is, a faint waft of flowers off the top of the drink (just a hint), and a subtle floral champagne taste in the mouth.
I think it is important to note that if a drink is not perfect do not foist it on your customer. Yes, people have different tastes but if a drink is badly made then it's badly made, that is not an excuse for a badly made drink, it doesn't matter how much gimmicky stuff you do to it. Take time to ensure that the structure is well worked out, then keep working on it until it is absolutely perfect; there nothing wrong with working on something for a very lengthy period ….its not about gimmickry, its about well thought out drinks that create a different effect or stimulate a different emotion….
The beauty of a good magic trick is that you are left with the feeling that you don't know how it worked, with a feeling of wonderment at something you can't quite grasp.
The way you learn a magic trick is by practicing your trick over and over again and studying so that one day your trick is perfect.
If someone shows you a trick that is done badly you feel let down, the trick loses its magic. In the same way that, although it is very interesting for other magicians seeing how a trick works, don't you always feel disappointed when you've seen one of those programmes that "reveals all the secrets"? As an audience member it is far better to be intrigued that to know the mechanisms………..
I am in a way using this as a metaphor to say even though there is a move towards using new techniques for drinks, the use of science etc, lets not bore our customers with geeky talk of xyz chemicals or the machine that goes beep, like the trend was a couple of years back when there was a lot of historical (s)pouting…its all about the delivery; from the glass-ware, to service, to a good yarn to an amazing tasting drink…..
You are the magicians so lets create magic….!!
Now, it will not be all about high tech stuff in my column over the next few months; I will be disseminating different techniques and equipment like things like enfleurage, brix meters, ph meters, etc. I will be starting by talking about the Rotavapor, a machine I was introduced to a couple of years ago and one that opens up a huge amount of possibilities for bartenders.
