Israel's Racist Rabbis: 'Hate the Gentile'
By Jonathan Cook – Palestine Chronicle – December 9, 2010
Jews must not rent homes to 'gentiles'. That was the religious decree issued this week by at least 50 of Israel's leading rabbis, many of them employed by the state as municipal religious leaders. Jews should first warn, then "ostracise" fellow Jews who fail to heed the directive, the rabbis declared.
The decree is the latest in a wave of racist pronouncements from some of Israel's most influential rabbis. … continue

Story highlights
- Storm makes landfall around 8 a.m. Friday
- Queensland's Bureau of Meteorology warns that "very destructive winds" were on the way
- State premier says storm has weakened but remains very serious
(CNN)Australia's Queensland coast continued to be lashed by heavy rain and winds exceeding 250 kilometers per hour (155 mph) Friday, despite Tropical Cyclone Marcia being downgraded to a Category 4 storm.
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk warned the storm remained "very serious" and urged the public in affected areas to remain indoors amid the threat of flooding and high winds, which have brought down trees and caused some damage to homes.
During a press conference, she said the storm system was now moving south along the coast from the town of Yeppoon towards Rockhampton, which lies 595 kilometers (370 miles) north of Brisbane, the state capital.
Around 33,000 households in the area are now without power, she said, warning that this number was likely to grow as the day progresses.
"It is still a dangerous cyclone. We are heartened that it has reduced from a (Category) five to a four, but ... it is heading towards Rockhampton, a heavily populated regional town in Queensland, and we want everyone to be safe. So stay in doors," Palaszczuk said.
Queensland's Bureau of Meteorology said the Yeppoon area, where some 800 people were forced into temporary shelters, had seen the most "destructive winds" after the storm made landfall at around 8 a.m. Friday (5 p.m. ET Thursday). But it said the winds would weaken further by the time it reached Rockhampton -- though Category 3 winds in excess of 100 kph (62 mph) were still destructive.
Along the coast, the storm brought higher than normal tides and dangerous surf conditions.
Chris Campey, a video journalist for the CNN affiliate, described the ocean waves as "intimidating."
Seven News reporter Tom Hartley posted a video that showed winds whipping through palm trees as heavy rains pelted Rosslyn Bay.

Greenpeace Czech Republic marks Kyoto coming into force with a large banner reading "Kyoto for the Earth" in the front of famous National Museum in the centre of Prague. The museum is a place marking historic and symbolic events in recent Czech history.
On 16 February 2005, in the culmination of ten years of
sometimes exhausting and often frustrating negotiations, the Kyoto
Protocol became law. Thirty-five industrialised countries along
with the European Union are now legally bound to reduce or limit
their greenhouse gas emissions.
TheKyoto Protocol is the world's only international agreement
with bindingtargets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As such,
it is theprimary tool governments of the world have to address
climatechange. Specifically, the Protocol requires a nominal 5
percentreduction in emissions by developed countries world-wide
relative to1990 levels, by 2008-2012. To meet this world-wide
target, eachcountry is obligated to its individual target - the
European Union(EU[15]) 8 percent, Japan 6 percent, etc. These
individualtargets are derived from past greenhouse gas
Inaddition to legally binding national emissions targets, the
KyotoProtocol includes various trading mechanisms. Now that
theProtocol is law, formal preparations will begin to create a
'global'carbon market for emissions trading by 2008, and the
so-called'flexible mechanisms' - the Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM) and JointImplementation (JI) - will become operational.
The KyotoProtocol was originally agreed on in 1997 - although
many crucialdetails were left to later talks. In order to enter
into force(become law) the Protocol required ratification by at
least 55countries accounting for at least 55 percent of the carbon
dioxideemissions from Annex B (industrialised) nations. So far,
129countries have ratified or acceded to the Protocol. It passed
thenumber of countries test in 2002, and finally passed the second
hurdlewith ratification by the Russian Federation in late 2004.
Notablyabsent from the Protocol is the US; which shows no signs
of ratifyingthe treaty, at least not as long as the Bush
administration is in power- even though the US is the world's
biggest greenhouse gaspolluter. Australia, Liechtenstein, Croatia
and Monaco also haveyet to complete the ratification process.
The Clean Development Mechanism (Article 12)
TheClean Development Mechanism is designed to generate emissions
reductioncredits for Annex I countries that finance projects in
non-Annex Icountries who are part of the treaty. For example,
Canadafinancing an energy efficiency project in China, or Japan
financing arenewable energy project in Morocco. These projects must
have theapproval of the CDM Executive Board, and in addition to
generatingmeasurable emissions reductions against a
business-as-usual baseline,they should contribute to sustainable
development in the developingcountry partners.
Joint Implementation (Article 3)
JointImplementation allows industrialised countries with
emissions reductiontargets to cooperate in meeting them. For
example,German-financed energy efficiency projects in Russia,
orNorwegian-financed renewable energy projects in Hungary, which
generateemissions reductions, under specific circumstances can be
credited tothe country that finances them. In theory, this is a
moreeconomically efficient means of generating the same overall
emissionsreductions for industrialised countries.
See also 'Sinks' and other possible pitfalls.
Will the Kyoto Protocol "save the climate"?
TheKyoto Protocol is an important first step - as it was
intended tobe. It has always been recognized that the Kyoto
Protocol willnot be enough on its own. To avoid dangerous climate
change theworld needs at least 30 percent cuts by industrialized
countries by2020, increasing to 70-80 percent cuts by mid-century.
Anythingless than this will consign our children and theirs to a
veryunpleasant and very unstable world.
The decisions thatgovernments, industry and civil society make
over the next decade ortwo will be decisive. You have a say in
those decision, and your helpis needed. See our Take Action page
for what you can do.

Engine idles fine. After acceleration it bucks badly and after stepping on the gas picks up but does it again almost immediately. There are two almost identical plastic electrical rectangles by the throttle cable. One has what appears to be a steel roller
There are two small electrical rectangles the throttle cable runs between. It appears to have a small roller that rides on the cable. I dont know what these parts are called. I suspect they have something to do with the acceleration and idle. The one closest to the firewall is broken and I suspect that is the problem but dont know what part name to even ask for. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise. Kris
have the same problem?

Admitted loner, Clay Cook, has heard all the stereotypes about artists and even lived some of them. He struggles with his craft, wondering if his best work is behind him.
Mortally ill, Lily flees to Divine, barreling headlong into Clay's life from the distant past. In an effort to remake herself, she only causes herself more pain. Clay's brother Del returns from a lengthy deployment, suffering from deep trauma of his own, at a loss for how to move on from it.
As Lily Valentine rises from the ashes of her former life, jealousy is sparked and danger comes calling. Will Clay and Del be able to save her when her old life tries to reclaim her?

Lily woke the next morning filled with excitement. She grabbed the clothing she'd laid out the night before, the only decent attire she had that was appropriate for the shop, and headed down the hall to the bathroom.
The Kelly Clarkson song was still playing in her head, and she hummed to herself as she looked forward to her first work day and the small shopping trip she had planned afterward. Clay was letting her go a couple of hours early so she could walk down to Stigall's, located in the same shopping center, and do some much needed clothes shopping while he finished and closed up the store.
Lily wiggled her tush as she sang, "You don't know a thing about me," and pushed open the bathroom door with her shoulder. "You don't know a thing—Aaahhh!" she screamed loudly.
Clay stood naked in the open shower, steam clouding around him as he toweled off his head. He jumped when she screamed, his feet slid out from under him in the slick bathtub, and he went down like a ton of bricks, the towel still draped on his head.
Lily slapped her hands over her eyes, dropping her clothing on the floor. "Oh, my gosh, Clay. I'm so, so sorry! I was singing and I didn't realize you were in here. Oh, I'm an idiot!"
* * * *
Clay's ass throbbed like a son of a bitch, but he couldn't help the chuckle that escaped as he watched Lily fumble around. She'd dropped her clothes, which were now probably wet from the steam-dampened floor. Her hands were clamped over her eyes, and she stepped on the clothes as she bumped into the bathroom wall, then the door frame, feeling around for the exit with her elbows.
"Clay, I'm so sorry. That was dumb. I should've knocked."
He clambered back to his feet and wrapped the towel around his hips as he got a look at her long, shapely legs under her sleeping T-shirt. If she spent time in the sun she'd be a deep bronze in no time. He squelched the thought of spreading tanning oil up and down those satiny thighs as his cock tingled and took notice of the direction his mind was going in. Down, boy. He stepped out of the tub and reached out to steady her before she bumped into anything else.
"It's okay, Lily. I was nearly done." Her cheeks were flushed dark pink, and he could feel the heat in them as he peeled back her hands. Her eyes were slammed shut too. "You can open your eyes. I'm not naked anymore."
She opened them, and her gaze slid as far as his chest before her cheeks went even darker, and she kept her eyes on his face.
Skittish little thing.
"I promise, I'll be more careful next time."
Her words were so sincere, and he smiled as he looked at her lovely eyes up close. They were brown, but all the gold striations made them appear much lighter. "I've always loved your eyes. They're beautiful."
Lily's cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink and she licked her full lower lip, so that it glistened. His cock reacted to the sight and he just barely held himself back from kissing her right then and there.
She pulled back and started to say something, but nothing came out at first. He felt suspended in the moment as she gazed at his mouth for a few seconds before seeming to come to herself. "Um."
Clay released her and said, "Sorry. That was probably not appropriate. I know it's hard for you."
"It's not that. I'm just not used to that."
Clay gritted his teeth to restrain the territorial surge of anger he felt toward her ex-husband. He wanted to beat the shit out of the bastard for the way King had beaten down his fiery, spirited Lily until a compliment felt foreign to her. Showing Lily that anger would only frighten her.
He knelt down and suppressed a groan as his hard-on made its presence known. He gathered her clothing and gently handed it to her. "Sorry about your clothes. If they're ruined you can wear just whatever you can manage today."
Lily acted as though she hadn't heard him while her gaze traveled the length of him from his chest, down his abs, to his towel-covered groin area. She must have seen his erection because her gaze immediately returned to his. And, yes, it was possible for her cheeks to turn even pinker.
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you, Lil. I'll let you get ready." He left the bathroom without further comment. He looked down at his horny, thickening cock tenting his towel expectantly. What?
Adult Excerpt
Del lifted his body and in a sweeping motion, threw the covers and top sheet away from them then rose above her. With one hand he jerked his pajama bottoms from his waist and pulled his feet out one at a time then threw the pants across the room.
Lily moaned and shuddered when he descended on her again, and she felt every searing inch of his long, hard body pressed against hers. Hot moisture rushed to her entrance and seeped against him when he lifted her thigh and wrapped it around his hip. With a growl, he looked down at her and smiled. The gleam in his eyes and the approval she saw there made her throat ache.
"I love you, Del. I love you so much it hurts."
A smile came to his lips, and he whispered, "I love you too, Lily Bell. Tell me where it hurts and I'll kiss it better."
Tears spilled from her eyes, and she pressed her fingertip to her breastbone. "In here." He slowly descended and pressed a gentle kiss there. She touched her fingers to her throat and he kissed her there. She cupped her breasts. "And here."
She released them and held the back of his head as he took them in his hands and kissed them reverently and slowly, sucking gently at each hardened tip, causing her pussy to draw up tight with each tug of his hot mouth.
He dragged his scruff over both mounds, and waves of heat tingled all over her, and her breathing grew erratic. Her heart hammered as he shifted and moved his body lower.
He looked up at her. "Where else?"
She had to search her memory for why he was asking then remembered. She pressed a fingertip to her belly button, and he grinned as he dipped his nose down and tickled her there lightly then tilted his head and flicked her with his tongue before kissing her.
Moving her hand tentatively, she pressed all her fingertips over the tattoo, covering the spot she knew bore the name of another man. She slammed the door on the memories and felt only the touch of Del's gentle lips as he kissed the spot above her mound.
Her fingertips drifted to her slit and parted her lips for him. She heard him growl faintly, but it was a sound that seemed to vibrate with approval all through her. Her cunt throbbed with pulsing arousal, keeping time with her heartbeat. Orgasmic waves rose within her.
She felt his hot breath on her wet pussy lips, and she let out a shaky breath as he teased her with his lower lip. "You make my mouth water."
The heat coursed over her sensitive flesh, and her clit felt huge and swollen, demanding his touch. She felt suspended, waiting for the contact that would send her over.
He moved closer, and she bit her lip so hard she nearly drew blood as he laid his tongue against her clit and engorged flesh, taking her into his mouth. Heat sizzled through every nerve ending, and the sensual sound that came from her mouth didn't sound like her at all. She arched her back as he lapped and gently stroked her cunt with his velvety tongue.
She was on the verge of orgasm without ever being penetrated. An impossibility, or so she'd thought until that moment. His gentle hands slid over her hips and lifted her to his mouth, spreading her thighs wider.
He opened his mouth in an impossibly languid motion and drew her swollen flesh into his mouth and held her there, sucking gently until the tense coil inside her burst, releasing a wild howl of pleasure from her. He continued sucking through every pounding, pulsing wave of her orgasm until she thought she would shatter into tiny pieces, unable to contain the pleasure inside her a second longer.
As she came down, he gentled her, licking and stroking, but avoiding her oversensitive clit as she caught her breath. He sat up and came to lie over her again, bracing most of his weight on his arms. His eyes practically glowed with desire as he gently stroked tears from her temples.
Tilting his head down, he kissed her lips, and she tasted herself on his tongue. He whispered, "No more sad tears."
"Only joy." She arched against him, joining his cock against her slippery cunt. "If you have a clean bill of health, I'm on the pill."
She burned to feel him slide inside her the first time but let him control the moment as he kissed her again. His lips slid to her collarbone, and he kissed and lapped gently then murmured, "I had a checkup when I got back in the States. I'm all clear. Thank you, Lily Bell."
He punctuated her name with a smooth thrust, filling her cunt with one hot stroke. He was huge, and she was grateful when he paused to give her a chance to become accustomed to him. He switched to the other collarbone and sucked at her flesh, raising goose bumps all over her body.
Involuntarily, her hips flexed and her cunt rippled with tension at the contact. She wrapped her arms around his back and threw back her head as he began to move in small, gentle strokes. Her heart pounded at his care for her, and she felt more hot tears slip from her eyes.
"You feel so good, Lily. So tight and soft. I love your pussy."
He thrust harder, and she felt the flickering, dancing echoes of an orgasm as she thrust back against him with each stroke. Her body vibrated with tension, wound so tight it felt ready to explode any second.
Pleasure welled inside her, and she joyfully whispered, "It's coming, Del, it's coming! Oh! Del!" She felt immensely powerful as she moved beneath him, taking the pleasure he gave her so freely.COLLAPSE

Article Title
High-Risk Travel Distance and Number of Primary Care Visits in a North Carolina Medicaid Population
Background: With nearly 20% of the U.S. population in rural areas, a lack of access to primary care may cause rural residents to forego recommended preventive care procedures, and suffer higher morbidity rates than their urban counterparts.
Methods: Medicaid billing data from 2009 to 2011 were analyzed to calculate the distance and duration that a Medicaid patient population had to travel when seeking primary care in the 29 rural counties of eastern North Carolina. Primary care codes were analyzed to detect any differences in access patterns for various complexity levels of physician visits. Data were also used to evaluate health professional shortage areas (HPSA) designations in eastern North Carolina based on current federal definition.
Results: There was a significant difference in patient visits when comparing HPSA-defined travel times of more or less than 20 miles or 30 minutes; however, the average patient received a sufficient number of primary care visits annually (average ~3) with distance and duration having limited effect on the amount of care the patients received.
Implications: As a designation criterion for underserved areas, the current HPSA definition may not adequately identify populations at risk.

In recent years, libertarian ideas have infiltrated previously inaccessible forums, especially mainstream cable talk shows, with an increasing frequency. (Remember Freedom Watch? Bring back Judge Nap!) This reality has presented an opportunity for the ideals of liberty to reach new audiences. This increase in popularity has made liberty more visible, but has given those that side with the State the platform to challenge libertarian philosophy.
An invitation into the mainstream discussion is a welcome change for liberty lovers across the globe. It should not come as a surprise that many in the establishment are slow to grant libertarians respect. In the past few days, attempts to discredit libertarians have been presented in an undeniably hostile manner. The arguments delivered by the usual mouthpieces for government intervention at home and abroad have been vicious and immature. This has left many in the liberty movement feeling violated and itching to punch back.
During John Stossel's Fox Business show, guests Ann Coulter and John Bolton aggressively attacked libertarian positions that promote drug legalization and a foreign policy of non-intervention. For this annual show, Stossel invited guests friendly to the cause of liberty and some that disagree vehemently with certain aspects of libertarian philosophy. This year's episodes, which were taped in front of over 1,000 liberty loving students, featured fireworks from Coulter and Bolton that sent waves throughout the political community.
Ann Coulter appeared on Stossel's Thursday night show and did not attempt to camouflage her opinion regarding the stance libertarians take towards illegal drugs. A summary of the interview can be found at mediaite.com. When Coulter was questioned regarding legalizing drugs she responds by saying, "This is why I think libertarians are pussies." Then Coulter proceeds to explain:
We're living in a country that is 70-percent socialist, the government takes 60 percent of your money. They are taking care of your health care, of your pensions. They're telling you who you can hire, what the regulations will be. And you want to suck up to your little liberal friends and say, 'Oh, but we want to legalize pot.' You know, if you're a little more manly you would tell them what your position on employment discrimination is. How about that? But it's always 'We want to legalize pot.'
Stossel's guest the next night, former G.W. Bush official John Bolton, was equally combative towards the liberty loving audience. Bolton was irked when the crowd erupted into boos, in response to his statement that killing hundreds of thousands during the Civil War, with no due process, was the right thing to do. Once again, mediaite.com provides a summary of the exchange:
The Skeptical Libertarian editor Daniel Bier then asked a question that drew massive applause from the students: "The large majority of Americans support giving the president the authority to kill American citizens without charges or trial or due process. My question is, if you were identified as a threat by some nameless official in the administration, would you want due process?"
"The issue is whether we are in a war situation, whether we are operating under the war powers of the Constitution or whether we are in a law enforcement situation," Bolton responded. "The two have radically different approaches. We killed tens of thousands of American citizens, maybe hundreds of thousands with no due process in the Civil War, and it was the right thing to do."
As the room erupted into some booing at the notion of suspending due process for any reason, Bolton snapped back, "You want to discredit a movement, defend the Confederacy. Go ahead."
In order to learn how, as libertarians, we should be responding to attacks of this nature, let's examine what Murray Rothbard had to say on the subject of libertarian outreach.
Rothbard points out that it is important to know the types of individuals that should be targeted for conversion to libertarianism. He says the goal is not to convert, "Dan Rather, the establishment, or the Bush administration." The reason for this directive is simple; those people do not hate the government. Many in this category have made a very profitable living working for the government and believe government force is necessary. Coulter and Bolton would fall into this grouping. Coulter worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1994 when the Republicans took control of congress and Bolton has held many different jobs, in varying capacities for several federal departments. It is fun to argue and debate with neoconservatives similar to Bolton and Coulter, but if libertarians want to grow the base, they must realize few converts will come from this background.
What type of person do we seek to convert? Murray would advise finding people who already hate the government. He uses gun control as an example, while citing the difference of opinions found in urban and rural areas. It is much easier to find an individual in favor of gun rights in the countryside, then it is to find gun rights advocates in New York City. Rothbard points out that once you find a prospect for liberty conversion that hates government intrusion in one aspect of their life, make sure to hold them accountable to include all aspects of private property and freedom. This is a very useful philosophical exercise for those new to liberty.
Ann Coulter and neoconservatives like her do not understand this libertarian concept. They think that we are being sympathetic to liberals when we agree that drugs should be legal. When in fact we are seeking to convert them based on their own mistrust of government surrounding this issue. Once a common ground has been found where both parties agree the government is wrong to intervene, then the next step is to reveal that the government is always wrong to intervene in aspects of private property and freedom.
In case you missed it last week, Ann Coulter's and John Bolton's appearances on Stossel are embedded below. Enjoy, but do not get too bent out of shape over their attacks. They do not represent the type of people liberty lovers are trying to reach.

Netizens suspect Elva Hsiao goes for plastic surgery when her expression looks stiff during the show
A few days ago, Taiwanese singer, Elva Hsiao (蕭亞軒) participated in Mainland China variety show, Hurry Up, Brother (奔跑吧兄弟). In the recent years, rumours about her going for plastic surgery has been circulating and many netizens are discussing about her appearance after broadcasting the programme. Many netizens left messages to ask: "'What happens to Elva Hsiao's face today after watching Hurry Up, Brother show? Her face is nicer in the past.' 'The effects of her going for plastic surgery is too obvious and many scenes of her should be deleted.' 'Elva's expression looks stiff and why does she go under the knife when she is already pretty? She can be mature beauty even when grows old.'"

Monty Are I
Adding some brass instrumentation to post-hardcore, Providence, Rhode Island quintet Monty Are I (previously named "Monty's Fan Club" and "Monty") are Steve Aiello (vocals, guitar), Mike Matarese (bass), Andrew Borstein (keyboard, trombone), and identical twins Justin Muir (drums) and Ryan Muir (vocals, guitar, trumpet).

What a photoshoot. I love it. I love it. I may disagree almost entirely with the call-out order but hey, nothing I can do about that except make my own. Hehe.
Wait. No. I lied. They're all too fantastic to rank. So instead? Commentary.
Aimee - So delicate and classy. In awe of the intensity in her eyes.
Anya - The addition of the pearls is nice. But it doesn't wow me. And those two canary drops on her shoulder bother me even though that isn't her fault.
Claire - Dark. Edgy. And the colors/accessories are completely fitting to her personality. The neck isn't an issue to me.
Dominique - I was absolutely floored by it. When I look at Dominique I see abrasiveness. When I see this picture I see vulnerability (like Paulina mentioned) and even innocence to an extent.
Fatima - Armpit aside, it is lovely.
Katarzyna - Though I am biased due to my everlasting love for her, I honestly did feel it was one of the best. Why such a low call-out? O NO HER HAIR WASN'T GLUED TO HER HEAD.
Lauren - Shrouded in mystery and sophistication. Beautifully strong jaw.
Marvita - Sweet and demure but completely wrong for this photoshoot. Reminds me a lot of Ebony Haith from the first cycle.
Stacy Ann - I love Stacy Ann. And I'm glad to see her doing well. But... how in the HELL did she get called out first? And to tell Claire of all people that her photo looked like a recording artist when I'm sorry but when I look at Stacy Ann's picture all I see is Mary J. Blige and Fantasia Barrino.
Whitney - Pained expression. Close the mouth. And the hand looks detached, like somebody else is reaching behind her neck for her.

View from Castle Hill – The Parliament Building, Budapest
It was been almost two month since we started travelling around Eastern Europe, the image below is taken from Castle Hill in Budapest, Hungary. It is overlooking the Parliament house and the Danube river.
The Hungarian Parliament Building which translates to House of the Country or House of the Nation is the seat of the National Assembly of Hungary, one of Europe's oldest legislative buildings, a notable landmark of Hungary and a popular tourist destination of Budapest. It lies in Lajos Kossuth Square, on the bank of the Danube. It is currently the largest building in Hungary and still the tallest building in Budapest.

1977 Aston Martin V8 during Gooding's Scottsdale preview hours. Photo by Matt Litwin.
Every January, Scottsdale, Arizona, bursts at its seams with collector car buyers, sellers and spectators, and in turn, the pages we dedicate to auction coverage swell with Arizona auction action to provide coverage for the thousands more who can't absorb it in person. Detailed analysis from a few of the sales has already appeared in our Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car and Hemmings Motor News magazines, along with a hint of coverage in Hemmings Classic Car.
The Scottsdale saga continues in the upcoming June issue of Hemmings Motor News, with 21 lots from Gooding & Company's sale that took place on January 17-18 at the Scottsdale Fashion Square. Gooding amassed 117 vehicles for its registered bidders, 110 of which sold for a little more than $49 million; top sale went to a 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Series 1 Cabriolet (the 14th of only 40 made) that hammered for a world record-smashing $6,160,000 for the model. Here are both a teaser and bonus coverage not included in the upcoming issue: the 1977 Aston Martin V8 pictured above.
For those more familiar with the look of the DB5, the V8 – known as the AMV8 in Aston Martin circles – was introduced in 1972 as the replacement of the DBSV8. It was the last Aston designed under the watchful eyes of David Brown, and saw production through 1989. Every one of them was a true four-seat GT capable of achieving a top speed of 160 MPH. The version offered by Gooding, without reserve, was a U.S.-spec, left-hand-drive Series III edition (Series III was introduced in 1973), which featured a 5.3-liter V-8 with dual overhead camshafts per cylinder bank and four dual-choke Webers that helped produce 320 horsepower. Along with a ZF five-speed manual transmission, Ascot gray paint and a burgundy-trimmed interior, it was sold new in Marietta, Georgia. Eventually, it passed through the hands of four more owners while accumulating a little less than 60,000 miles; it also received a single repaint while under the care of the second owner.
James Bond enthusiasts may remember the V8 better for its appearance in the 1987 film The Living Daylights, starring Timothy Dalton in his first of two roles as the British spy. In typical fashion, there was a bit a trickery involved. There were two Astons used in the movie, the first being a Volante convertible, which was then "winterized" by Q-Branch with a hardtop. In this converted form, the car was actually a V8 badged to match the Volante, which was ultimately destroyed when the self-destruct button was activated after a chase scene across a frozen lake.
As to the gadget-free Aston presented to bidders, we noted some minor and spotty orange peel and a very light patina on the front seats, the latter inviting anyone to try their contours rather than hinting at the need for replacement leather. The rest of our notebook regarding this Aston was essentially blank – no visual problems to complain about. In fact, "factory-stock" was our initial thought upon first blush. Before the sale, we gave it a condition two-plus for the refurbishment (so categorized by the repaint); the car had also been mechanically serviced before it was consigned.
Gooding placed a pre-sale estimate of $140,000 to $160,000 for the GT, while other "book" resources suggested the value to be $80,000. Granted, printed guides look at the collective average and, in some cases, take a while to catch up to market demand. In the end, neither the books nor Gooding saw eye to eye with bidders. Including a 10 percent buyer's premium, the Aston Martin went to a new owner for $118,250.
Check out the June 2014 issue of Hemmings Motor News, on newsstands now, for more of our coverage from Gooding's Scottsdale sale.
I always liked the of these cars since they first came out especially the convertible.
I thought always thought the late Seventies Mustangs should have looked like this instead of the Mustang II.
I cannot imagine what this must look like under the hood to be EPA qualified. Medusa would look tame, I'm guessing. The combo of old world engineering and small scale builder probably led to many unique solutions. Anybody seen inside the "bonnet" on one of these Mustang-derivitives? What a way for DB – David Brown to go out.
Yes I know "bonnet" is the correct term, but in the USA that "bonnet" is a "Hood"
It does look like a Mustang! And a "boot" is something you wear, while you store your spare in the "trunk".
Love that 2014 Mustang-like front clip…Aston must have borrowed a famous DeLorean to go back to the future to copy the 'stang.

Clowns and couture mix in Turin ceremonies
By Sophie Hardach
MILAN (Reuters) - Turin will open the Winter Olympics next
month in a whirl of fashion and technology, and close the Games
with a nostalgic carnival of harlequins.
Italy of the future. It will be a bit aggressive," Marco Balich
of Filmmaster Group, executive producer of the ceremonies, told
a news conference on Monday.
"The closing ceremony will have a carnival theme - with a
melancholy air because it's the end of the Games," he added
after a presentation of the outlines of the events.
Olympic hosts usually try to keep details of the ceremonies
under wraps. But Turin has already leaked several elements of
the opening ceremony on February 10.
Veteran designer Giorgio Armani is preparing the entrance
of the Italian flag into the stadium while fashion house
Moschino will style the athletes' parade. Speed skaters with
flame-shooting helmets will also whizz around.
The closing ceremony on February 26 will look back at
Italy's cultural past with a nostalgic feel.
At the presentation, theater director Daniele Finzi Pasca,
who is in charge of the closing event, pulled back a curtain to
reveal some of the clowns and acrobats that will bid farewell
to the Games.
Dressed in the faded gold and black-and-white costumes of
European circuses of days gone by, the group of harlequins and
columbines mixed sadness with their smiles.
While Turin's budget of 28 million euros ($34 million) for
both ceremonies is a fraction of what Athens spent on its Greek
gods-and-sports extravaganza, the shows will have their share
of headline-grabbers.
Pop and opera singer Andrea Boccelli and grungy Canadian
Avril Lavigne will entertain the Turin crowds.

Getting used to eating on long rides can be just as challenging as the ride itself. In order to keep your energy stores at the levels that they should be, it is recommended to eat 60g of carbohydrates per hour and at least one 500ml bottle of fluid. That might not sound like a lot, but when you're exercising for more than three hours in hot weather, the task can be more daunting than it sounds.
Digestion, bike handling and how to pack your food are all common problems you'll have to solve before you head out on the road. Below are seven easy tips to help make your on-the-bike refueling easier to stomach.
More: How Much Fuel Do You Need During Long Rides
Cut off the top of your energy bar packages
Struggling to tear a wrapper while your riding can lead to a lapse in concentration, especially once you become fatigued on a long ride. Cutting the package across the top with a pair of scissors before you leave home will make it easier.
Bring real foodWhile convenient, energy bars and gels can be tough on your stomach during exercise. If heading out on a ride for more than two hours, it might be a good idea to bring a mix of bars and food. Pancakes, a soft roll filled with jam or nutella and bananas are all excellent choices for a substitute.
More: Fueling Up for the Ride
Drink before you're thirstyIt's recommended to drink at least one 500ml bottle every hour you ride, and two if it's hot out. To stay on top of your hydration needs, start taking sips from your bottle shortly after leaving. It's easy to forget to drink, especially early on. After the first hour has passed it may already be too late.
Bring an energy drinkFluids are easier to digest than food. Carrying one bottle of sports drink and one bottle of water should keep your storage of electrolytes where they should be. It can also be a good way to consume calories. If you have a hard time with food, find a company that sells recovery drinks that include carbohydrates and protein to aid in your caloric intake.

Can a blockchain-IoT hybrid finally give us smart guns?
Over the last 20 years, technologists have been working hard to create solutions to the challenges of gun safety. Their efforts have kept pace with the technological developments of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, sensor technology, wearables and IoT. Yet their implementation has been slow, if not stalled to a halt. I wanted to look at the pain… Read more »

Employment Law
Employment Lawyers Can Answer Your Employment Law Questions
I have no plan to change job on the short term. If I change job at some point, I don't know if I'll stick to a "competing business" (as defined in the service agreement, i.e. another hotel investment company in Western Europe competing with my company), but the longest I work in my current job the highest the probably gets that I would switch for a "competing businiess" (employability/skills issue). Also, in your opinion, if a new employer wants me, would he be able to compensate my current employer for employing me before the end of this 6-month period?
Thank you very much. Two ancillary questions:
- There is nothing in the English law saying that a non-compete covenant should be compensated financially (cash) by the current employer? Such rule exists in French employment law for instance.
- In the covenant section, there is a paragraph saying:"15.4 The Executive agrees that each of the restrictions set out in Clauses 15.1 (NB: non compete) and 15.2 (NB: non-solicit) constitute entirely separate, severable and independent restrictions on him. The Executive acknowledges that he had the opportunity to receive independent legal advice on the terms and effect of the provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions above". Does this mean the company should finance/refund the cost of this legal advice? I dont see why I should incur any legal expense as a future employee...

Police in Chicago have been told to haul Chief Keef"s deadbeat ass to jail … if they see him … after the 17-year old rapper blew off a child support hearing, our sources has learned.
We broke the story … Keef was ordered to appear in court on September 5 to explain why he hasn"t forked over more than $20k in child support payments to his baby mama.
Problem is … Keef no-showed — so the judge issued an order for his arrest, which means if cops see his ass, they can drag him right to the slammer and hold him until he pays roughly 1/5th of his child support debt.
We know he can afford it — but it"s unclear why he"s refusing to pony up. Attempts to reach Keef for comment were unsuccessful.

Richelle - posted on 06/03/2010 ( 11 moms have responded )
Some people say yes and some say no, so what did you do? I had a girl the first time and this time we're expecting a boy. No one has said anything about throwing me a shower this time, except for the people at my work, so I'm wondering if it's something you should still do or what? I will still need boy clothes, bibs, blankets etc. I have most of the furniture still but will need a new bouncy seat and what about diapers and wipes and toiletries? Am I supposed to do all that myself the second time around? And is it rude to throw your own shower? I'm just wondering what is customary and what is considered rude or unnecessary. Please give me some insight. thanks!

Just a few days ago I was in Miami enjoying some warmth, sunshine and a little bit of humidity. Today it is snowing until it can't snow no mo'.
I'm all home and cozy riding the storm out. The crockpot is doing it's thing. Hot chocolate is steaming next to me. I'm working away on my computer. If I can't have warmth, this will work.
Despite having my wisdom tooth out and traveling for a few days last week I did have some good eats. Join me for a warm and toasty WIAW!
Everything I ate over the past week has been kind of soft. The first day this meant mashed potatoes from Whole Foods. I could seriously eat those suckers every.single.day. But my butt wouldn't think thank me. So instead I moved on to my mock "baked potato soup".
It is really just pureed cauliflower and chicken broth. This dish is just so easy to make it's stupid.
After eating mashed potatoes and soup for two days it was time to head to Miami. Honestly, I didn't eat that much while I was out of town! There is a first for everything. Dinner the night we arrived was at Sushi Samba. I have been to a few of the NYC locations before and I found that their rolls were just a little overpriced for what you get. Instead I split a sashimi platter with a friend. It was a small amount of food, but just enough to get us pleasantly full. The fish was fresh and it was the right introduction into more solid foods!
I'm not a fan of eating before I work out so the next meal I had was on Saturday after our FlyWheel class. We had brunch around 2p (!!!) at Palace Bar.
I went with the Arepa Benedict.
Arepa bread topped with 2 poached eggs and chorizo topped with hollandaise sauce and pico de gallo. Served with homefries.
I decided to leave off the hollandaise and I kind of wish I hadn't. This was an extremely dry meal. Like can't bite through the bread tough. I also can't stand green peppers and the homefries in the middle were mostly peppers. How do people eat those things?! Frown face.
I was starving by the time we ate so I chowed down on the whole thing minus the peppers. It was a bit of a bummer. Fortunately, there was some sangria involved that made everything that much better!
By the time we were done playing out in the sun and on the beach I was in need of a nap. I am the queen of cat naps. But when I wake up? Whoa buddy. I will be starving. This time was no different.
We got all dressed up and headed out to dinner at IceBox Café, a restaurant that describes itself as being fresh, natural, well-balanced dining.
I was craving some seafood and Iron Skillet Sea Scallops caught my eye.
Sea scallops, miso broth, wilted kale, edamame, shiitake mushrooms
It pains me to say this but this meal stunk. The broth was quite good, but its kinda hard to mess up miso soup. There were only about 3 little sprigs of kale and 3 stems of mushrooms with the edamame. It was all bland, dry and had no flavor. I ended up throwing it all in the broth! I also ordered a side of roasted vegetables that was so pathetic I didn't take a pic. They were also thrown in with the scallops and broth. Since I live in Boston I am used to higher prices but for $29 I was expecting at least 4 smaller scallops or 3 bigger sized scallops. These were just average size. Nothing special.
On another note, the service at Icebox is THE WORST. Our server was extremely nice, but almost nothing happened. We ordered drinks and they didn't come till after we got our meals…30 minutes later. There was a bottle of wine that she was going to bring a chiller over to the table, but she ended up bringing it at the end of the meal. They were out of EVERYTHING. It just felt disorganized and there was no sense of urgency. It was frustrating.
The next day we at at the Shake Shack. I devoured my meal before anyone could ask for a bite or I could remember to take a picture. Imagine a mushroom burger and some fries. It was fantastic. 🙂
By the time I got home Sunday night I was in the mood for MY food. You know how that works. You just crave normalcy and not eating out. I went right back to my "baked potato" soup.
Only this time I got a little lazy with my food processing of the cauliflower and it came out to be more of a grits consistency instead of a creamy soup.
So ta-da! Shrimp n' Grits!
I'm back to eating almost anything I want now. Crunchy food are still a little tough but I'm getting there. I see a few more cauliflower creations in my future either way.
This might have sounded a little whiny, but my time in Miami was a blast. The food just wasn't anything to write home about. Bonus…I maintained my weight over the weekend. BOOM!
See ya soon!
