University of Miami
Victory against No. 12 Florida would be boost for Miami Hurricanes' resurgence
A few University of Miami seniors who haven't been allowed to go to a bowl game the past two years and haven't celebrated a win over Florida State in the past three years were asked this week to put their finger on the biggest win they have been a part of.
"I don't know — that's a good question," quarterback Stephen Morris said earlier this week. "I think with everything we've been through, I'd have to say [last year's] Georgia Tech game when we came back to win in overtime."
"That or the Ohio State game," fullback Maurice Hagens said, referring to one of two Hurricanes wins in the 10 games they have played again ranked opponents since knocking off No. 8 Oklahoma in the middle of the 2009 season. That was the program's last win over a top-10 opponent.
Beating the 12th-ranked Florida Gators (1-0) on Saturday in front of nearly 77,000 rabid fans — the biggest home crowd for UM since moving from the Orange Bowl in 2008 — might make its way up the big-win list for Al Golden's players.
Respect, bragging rights and recruiting inroads are all at stake in the final scheduled regular-season meeting between the old rivals. Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley has made it clear he's not interested in renewing unless the game is played on a neutral site — code for it isn't happening.
For the fans, who will arrive wearing orange and green and orange and blue well before the noon kickoff, that will be the topic of conversation amid brews and burgers when they begin tailgating before sunrise at Sun Life Stadium. Tickets have been sold out for a long time and are going on the secondary market for an average of $187, according to Connor Gregoire, an analyst for SeatGeek.com.
For Golden's team, the rivalry and revelry of Canes-Gators doesn't quite matter as much as proving they can beat a good team and continue an upward climb. Sure, Hurricanes players such as Hagens have said this week they hate the Gators just as much as they do the Seminoles.
This game, though, reaches deeper than pure hatred for that team from Gainesville. Beat Florida and Golden's team can finally pound its chest for real, and more importantly keep itself in the national spotlight for something other than being the NCAA's target.
"It's obviously a big game, but the biggest thing for us is to focus on what we can control," Golden said earlier this week. "Everything else that surrounds it, we have no impact on."
Before the Canes crept into a tie for 24th place in the USA Today/Coaches' poll on Tuesday, UM (1-0) hadn't been ranked in a Top 25 poll since the week before Randy Shannon's last game as coach in 2010 — before anyone outside of South Florida had ever really heard of jailed former booster Nevin Shapiro.
That's why Golden shook his head earlier this week when he was asked if he saw any parallels between he and Gators coach Will Muschamp, who arrived in Gainesville a day before Golden moved his family to Coral Gables.
"[Florida was] coming off national championships in [2006] and [2008] and didn't have an NCAA thing," Golden said. "I don't think there are parallels at all."
Florida, which won 11 games and lost to Teddy Bridgewater and Louisville in the Sugar Bowl last January, had eight players — including two first-rounders — selected in April's NFL Draft. Miami, which had two players selected on the final day of the same draft and hasn't had a first-round pick since 2008, is finally beginning to close the talent gap, recruiting experts say.
Only two Gators — junior cornerbacks Loucheiz Purifoy (26th) and Marcus Roberson (60th) — rank among the Top 60 NFL Draft prospects for 2014, according to CBSSports.com. Miami also has two players in that Top 60 list: senior right tackle Seantrel Henderson (55th) and Morris (39th).
Vegas agrees. The Gators, who won the last meeting with the Canes 26-3 in Gainesville in 2008, are only listed as three-point favorites.
The eventual national champions were 22-point favorites five years ago. That team had Heisman winner Tim Tebow, receiver Percy Harvin, linebacker Brandon Spikes and tight end Aaron Hernandez.
Although the Gators return only three starters from last year's defense, which ranked in the top five nationally in scoring, rushing, passing efficiency and total defense, UM offensive coordinator James Coley doesn't see much of a drop-off in UF's talent.
"A lot of five-star prospects," Coley said when asked what he saw of the Florida's defense after it held Toledo to 205 total yards, six points and only one third-down conversion in last week's opener.
"They may have lost some players to the NFL, but they didn't lose talent. I saw a lot of players that were heavily recruited by everybody."
Offensively, the Gators are hardly the Fun 'N Gun passing attack they once were when Steve Spurrier wore a visor on their sideline. But Muschamp's ground-and-pound, ball-control offense, paired with a stout defense, was more than effective last season.
Florida's quartet of talented backs run behind an offensive line with 89 combined career starts — not too far off Miami's 98 career combined starts on its offensive line.
Sophomore running back Matt Jones (6-2, 226) is one of a handful of players along with linebacker Antonio Morrison returning this week from either injury or suspension. Jones' backfield mates ran for 262 yards against Toledo without him.
"If they can run the ball on us it's going to be a long day," Golden said.
UM, meanwhile, has a lot to prove. In its three games against ranked opponents last season, the Hurricanes gave up an average of 294 rushing yards and 13 combined touchdowns in blowout losses to Florida State, Kansas State and Notre Dame.
Offensively, Morris, star running back Duke Johnson and leading receiver Phillip Dorsett weren't much better against those same ranked teams last year.
Morris completed 60 percent of his passes for 639 yards, one touchdown, one interception and was sacked nine times in the three games. He was sacked seven times in Miami's other nine games.
Johnson, meanwhile, was held to a combined 68 yards on 23 attempts without a touchdown. Dorsett combined for six catches and 52 yards without a score.
But an opportunity to shine brighter than they have in a long time awaits the Canes on Saturday.
"I guess it would send the message that we're not the same UM team as before," Hagens said of beating Florida. "I don't want to say it says we're back. We've been here.
"We just haven't been doing what we were supposed to be doing."

I will be trying out these Nude Capsules for the next month or so! I am always into the idea of vitamins and supplements – I have bought a lot from brands like DHC and Fancl (both Japanese brands that have supplements for EVERYTHING) but guess what – I never get round to taking any of them.
As well as requiring discipline, my body is quite sensitive to new medicines and treatments so if I get a whiff of a migrane or a tummy ache I stop taking them.
Anyway, New Year may as well give things a go. I got one of these in the post from Nude so will be testing them out:
Health Tablets are big business – you only need to walk through Boots to see how many different types there are.
I am torn – I want these tables to make be feel better, to make my hair and skin look better but I have no idea if it genuinely will or if its all subliminal. After all, my Nana is build likc a brick and she never took supplements, took up veganism or drank 8 litres of water….
Tablets are quite bit, I am a tablet swallowing pro so its ok but if you gag at this kind of thing, take note. They are filled with a green powder:
Well, lets give it a go anyway, will report back. But I swear, one twitchy eyebrow and its to the decomissioned box it goes:

Florida is the only state that is also its own region, a nod to its geographic placement as well as the quality and depth of teams and prospects the state produces every year. Florida began high school play February 14th a week earlier than any other state in the country and finishes up the regular season up just before Memorial Day making it the longest high school baseball season in the nation. What follows is a look at the top players and teams in one of high school baseball's richest states.
Top Storylines
1. Jose Fernandez
The Alonso right-hander was initially ruled ineligible for the 2011 season because of a Florida High School Athletic Association rule that gives a player four consecutive calendar years of eligibility from the date he begins ninth grade. Fernandez began 9th grade in Cuba in 2006, but it was ruled in November that his lost year was due to his move from Cuba, and he is eligible for the 2011 season.
His eligibility did not stop him from putting his name near the top of high school pitchers in the 2011 class with a great summer and an overpowering performance at the October WWBA World Championships in Jupiter. He reached 97 with his fastball and showed great feel for an 83 mph slider. He dominated the competition and vaulted up to #2 in the class, and looks to be a very high draft pick in June.
2.Battle for Top Team
The state has many contenders for top team, a distinction that almost guarantees that they are also one of the top teams in the country. Gulliver is the early favorite, but suffered an early season loss to American Heritage, another team worthy of the distinction. Archbishop McCarthy has added transfer RHP/IF Nick Travieso to an already loaded roster, and Bolles School, fresh off a 3A title has AFLAC All American 3B Austin Slater and top 2012 Hayden Hurst.
Tampa Jesuit features a junior class that has four Division 1 commits and top 2013 RHP/IF Spencer Trayner. Other teams in the discussion look to be Jupiter, Sarasota, Orangewood Christian, Flanagan, and Olympia. From top to bottom the state is loaded as usual.
3. Champions Repeat
Bolles looks to again be the favorite in 3A, but it will be a tough road for them as well as other champions looking to repeat in 2011. 6A champ Flanagan has loaded up their schedule with tough games in and out of state headlined by their matchup with defending Georgia AAA champion Columbus. Flanagan returns a lot of their 2010 squad, led by SS Ricky Santiago and OF Ryan Lozada.
5A champion Pace has one of the top 2012 prospects in the nation in SS Addison Russell and 2012 RHP Trent Higginbothem. 4A champ Archbishop McCarthy is a highly touted and very talented team that is the early favorite to repeat. 2A Westminster Christian is coming off a very successful 2010 going 28-6. They look to be very tough again led by OF David Thompson. Trinity Christian, the 1A champ, scored 24 runs in their final two games of 2010 to win the title. They will feature a very young roster with only two seniors, OF Matthew Wisniewski and RHP/SS Evin Lynch.
4. Bishop Verot
The school produced 2009 first rounder Bobby Borchering (16th overall, Diamondbacks)and has two draft prospects ranked in the top 10 in the state of Florida in 1B Daniel Vogelbach and RHP Hudson Boyd. Boyd, a transfer from South Fort Myers HS is a big bodied pitcher that pounds the strike zone with a fastball that has reached 94 and a hard slider with two-plane break at 80. He is currently ranked 8th in the state of Florida, 43rd nationally and has committed to Florida.
His teammate Vogelbach, also a Florida commit, has one of the more interesting builds of any top high school prospects in the 2011 class, standing 5'11 and weighing 260 pounds. Vogelbach seems to do one thing whenever he is on the field: hit, and hit a lot. He has a smooth left-handed swing with easy bat speed and tons of power. He is rarely off balance and has a great approach. He has had some of his best days against top competition at the 17U WWBA in Marietta and the WWBA World Championships in Jupiter.
5. Lindor/Baez
The two top positions prospects in Florida are Francisco Lindor of Montverde Academy and Javier Baez of Arlington Country Day. While the pair both play shortstop for their high school teams, Baez's pro position is most likely 3B. More than 150 scouts flocked to their matchup in February and even more might be on hand for the rematch March 5.
The players, while not being from traditional baseball powers have stood out during their high school seasons as well as on the showcase circuit. Lindor's loose and easy actions make him a candidate to stay at short in the future. To go along with his prowess on defense, he is a switch-hitter at the plate with great contact skills and power potential, evidenced by winning the HR derby at the 2010 AFLAC All-American game and an early season power surge in 2011. Baez has a big, strong build and power is his calling card whether it be at the plate or in the field. He has great bat speed and looks to drive the ball at the plate, while showcasing clean actions on the infield with a very strong arm.
Top Teams (alphabetical order)
American Heritage- Led by AFLAC All-American C Brandon Sedell, RHP/SS Brandon Diaz and RHP Jimmy Nesselt, the Patriots have a very talented roster. An early season win over Gulliver Prep showed that they can compete with the top teams the nation.
Archbishop McCarthy- They lost IF Nick Castellanos to the MLB draft (44th overall, Detroit Tigers), but bring back his younger brother Ryan, and bolstered their roster with the additions of junior transfers RHP/IF Nick Travieso and OF Nick Basto.
Bolles School- The defending 3A champs are the team to beat in the class again, and might be the state's best team. AFLAC All-American IF Austin Slater and RHP/IF Hayden Hurst are two of the state's top players.
Flanagan- The defending 6A champions have started the season 6-0, scoring over 10 runs in five of the six games. IF Ricky Santiago and 1B Mike Melendez will try to lead the Falcons to their 4th state title in six years.
Gulliver Prep- Debuted as the #1 team in PG National Rankings. They are led by 7 Miami commits and have possibly the most talented team in the country. A 11-5 loss to American Heritage is their only blemish on the season so far.
Jupiter- RHP/OF Ryan Harris is a legit 2-way prospect and figures to be a high draft pick. Brothers Nico and Corey Slater return. A prospect to watch is 2013 C Ronnie Healy.
Orangewood Christian- Might be the best offensive team in the state led by SS Dante Bichette, 2B Vicente Conde, OF Christian Magno, and transfer 1B Tomas Nido. If pitching comes around, sky's the limit for them.
Olympia- RHP/OF Walker Weickel and OF Jesse Winker are two of the top 2012 prospects in the nation. Brothers Connor and Patrick Lien give the Titans one of the nation's best outfields in the state.
Sarasota – 3B Sean Hurley is one of the top seniors in the state, how well sophomore LHP Dylan White and freshman SS/RHP Cameron Varga adjust to varsity ball could determine how far the team goes. They look to be the early favorite for best team in SW Florida.
Tampa Jesuit- RHP/SS Lance McCullers, rated #1 in the 2012 class, is the headliner, but the team is very talented up and down the roster. The team has four Division 1 commits, all from juniors, and sophomore Spencer Trayner looks to be the school's next star.
Top Matchups
March 5-Montverde Academy vs. Arlington Country Day School @ Jax Suns Stadium
The teams first matchup was our Week 1 National Game of the Week and did not disappoint. Top draft prospects SS Francisco Lindor (Montverde) and SS/3B Javier Baez (Arlington) face off.
March 5- West Boca vs. Palm Beach Central
West Boca, led by 2011 RHP Michael Kelly and SS Tyler Greene, face a very talented Central team with LHP Bobby Poyner and OF Brady Roberson.
March 8- Jupiter vs. Santaluces
If the pitching matchup is Ryan Harris (Jupiter) vs. Kyle Smith (Santaluces) as expected it could be one of the best matchups of the year. Both pitchers are Florida commits and top draft prospects.
March 14-Columbus vs. Archbishop McCarthy
Columbus LHP Andrew Suarez, an AFLAC All-American, faces the team currently ranked #14 in the nation, a talent-laden team led by IF Alex Fernandez and RHP/3B Jose Brizuela.
March 18- Bishop Moore vs. Olympia
AFLAC All-American 3B Sean Trent stars for Bishop Moore while Olympia has two of the top 2012 players in the nation in RHP Walker Weickel and OF Jesse Winker.
March 19- Gulliver Prep vs. Tampa Jesuit
A highly anticipated matchup featuring the teams that have the most underclass talent in the state. Jesuit boasts RHP/SS Lance McCullers and RHP/IF Spencer Trayner, while Gulliver counters with 3B Eric Neitzel and C Chris Chinea, among others.
March 26- Bishop Verot vs. West Boca
Bishop Verot 1B Daniel Vogelbach looks to face a top pitcher either RHP Michael Kelly or LHP Parker Danciu. BV can counter with their own top arm in RHP Hudson Boyd.
April 1- Jupiter vs. Park Vista
RHP Ryan Harris, as well as Cory and Nico Slater, face an underrated team in Park Vista, a team with four 2012s with high Division 1 commits.
April 14- Orangewood Christian vs. Oviedo
Oviedo RHP Ryan Meyer faces one of the most potent offenses in the state with 3B Dante Bichette, IF Vicente Conde, and C AC Carter.
April 18- Tampa Jesuit vs. Sarasota
McCullers and Jesuit take on a very talented and deep Sarasota deep led by Miami commits 3B Sean Hurley and 2013 LHP Dylan White.
April 20- Mater Academy vs. Monsignor Pace
Mater Academy is led by 2012 OF Albert Almora, currently the 11th ranked player in the class, while Pace has a top 2011 draft prospect in Dereck Rodriguez, son of 14-time All Star, 13-time Gold Glove winner, and 1999 AL MVP Ivan (Pudge) Rodriguez.

Almost Transparent Modern Residence In The Atlantic Rainforest
Located in a fascinating landscape of the Atlantic rainforest, the Iporanga House in Sao Paulo, Brazil, was designed to occupy as little terrain as possible, but still be large enough to shelter 5 distinctive suites – one for the client couple, one for each of their 3 sons and an additional guest suite. Nitsche Arquitetos Associados made sure the house was perfectly adapted to the surroundings and built a 400 square meter interior floor plan: "So we decided to split the program in 3 levels: a suspended volume, wood structured for the 5 suites, so they would be on the trees´ crown/top; a plan, the concrete slab elevated from the ground to support all of the program social activities, living, dining room the kitchen and the swimming pool; and underneath it, on ground level there is a small enclosed area for services.
A small accommodation for a house keeper couple, a laundry and a deposit." Designing this inspiring residence led to using a varied material palette that constructed the almost transparent house – a lot of glass was used to convey the spirit of the forest, concrete helped protect the interior privacy and aluminum to frame the elements. Supported by concrete columns embedded in the humid soil, steel beams and wood frames were put together to shape an exciting architecture that we hope you enjoy.

When weeknight madness hits, it is hard to imagine getting an evening's meal on the table, let alone a slow-simmered brisket. With the slow cooker, you'll not only get a hearty, juicy beef brisket dinner, but a wonderful panini sandwich to serve for lunch or dinner the next night as well.
4 -
4 1/2 -
fresh beef brisket
16 -

Drew's Birthday Wish
"Aaaaand here comes the birthday boy's cake! Now, Drew, remember when your father and I asked you what you wanted for your birthday, and you said you wanted a second Xbox 360 for your game room, and we said no? You do? Well, do you remember what you asked to get for your birthday after that? (Look at me when I'm talking to you, young man.) Do you remember? No? C'mon, why don't you tell your aunts and uncles and grandparents what you told us you wanted for your birthday, hmmm?"
[incoherent mumbling]
"What was that, sweetie? Did you say you asked for your father and I to die horrible deaths? Because that's what I remember you asking for – isn't that right, Charles? Isn't that what Drew wanted for his birthday? Well, Drew, I'm so sorry we couldn't oblige you this year – but maybe we WILL die horrible deaths one year soon, and then won't you feel terrible for making that kind of request for your birthday? Well? Won't you?"
[slamming cake down]
"So, hahah, here's your birthday cake! Isn't it lovely? I just hope that when your father and I really are rotting in our graves you'll remember today, and you'll think about how hurtful words can be."
[smiling brightly] "Now, who wants ice cream?"

Despite good intentions, our last week didn't go quite as planned. Consequently, we only took part in the first three days of "The Happy Day Project." And you know what? That's okay! We brought smiles to some faces and reached out in ways we haven't before. And that makes me happy. :)
Day #1 - Treats to a Neighbor
The chocolate chip cookie dough I mixed up Monday looked good...tasted great...but resulted in some of the flattest cookies I have seen in a while. So, we kept it for cookie sundaes and delivered some warm pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to a couple of neighbors this afternoon. One was especially thrilled, and after asking Grace exactly why she had brought her these treats, happily exclaimed, "I love it!'
Day #2 - Handwritten Note Day
I pray that our handwritten notes to the Horn family bring smiles to their faces. We don't know them, but continue to pray for them daily.
We are fortunate to live in a community where the homeless are not just everywhere. I'm sure they are there, but we just don't normally see them. On occasion, we do see a family parked near the main drag through town holding a sign indicating that they are in need of work. We've always just driven by, wanting to do something, but unsure of how best to help. We are now ready to help as God leads. The glove box holds close at hand a couple of Braum's gift cards (for either groceries or a hot meal).
This project has definitely given me some ideas of how we might celebrate Kristen's birthday next year. Perhaps more importantly, it has sparked some wonderful conversations with my two older daughters, both about reaching out to others and about their baby sister.
Grace blessed me so much last week by sharing (completely unprompted) her memories of the last time she saw Kristen. She smiled as she talked of taking pictures of her little sister as Kristen slept. She spoke of waving goodbye to us as she and Emily drove away with their grandparents the day before we left for Kristen's surgery.
It seems this "Happy Day Project" resulted in some happiness I didn't expect. I am ever so grateful for it.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") established the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") to oversee the audits of public companies and related matters, to protect investors, and to further the public interest in the preparation of informative, accurate and independent audit reports. The PCAOB is to accomplish these goals through registration of public accounting firms, standard setting, inspection, and disciplinary programs. Section 109 of the Act provides that the PCAOB shall establish a reasonable annual accounting support fee, as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain the PCAOB. Section 109(h) amends Section 13(b)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require issuers to pay the allocable share of a reasonable annual accounting support fee or fees, determined in accordance with Section 109 of the Act. The aggregate annual accounting support fee may not exceed the PCAOB's aggregate "recoverable budget expenses." Section 109(f) of the Act provides that "recoverable budget expenses" may include operating, capital and accrued items. Section 109(b) of the Act directs the PCAOB to establish a budget for each fiscal year in accordance with the PCAOB's internal procedures. Section 109(b) of the Act also provides that the PCAOB's budget is subject to approval by the Commission.
The PCAOB adopted a budget for calendar year 2003 at an open meeting on April 23, 2003, and submitted that budget to the Commission for approval on May 14, 2003. In accordance with its responsibilities to oversee the PCAOB, the Commission has reviewed the budget proposed by the PCAOB for 2003. During the course of that review, among other things, we reviewed and relied upon representations and supporting documentation from the PCAOB. The Commission also has reviewed the aggregate accounting support fee for 2003, which will fund the PCAOB's expenditures. The Commission did not identify any proposed disbursements in the budget that are not properly recoverable through the annual accounting support fee, and the Commission believes that the aggregate proposed 2003 annual accounting support fee does not exceed the PCAOB's aggregate recoverable budget expenses for 2003. After its review, the Commission determined that the PCAOB's 2003 budget and annual accounting support fee are consistent with Section 109 of the Act. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 109 of the Act, that the PCAOB budget and annual accounting support fee for calendar year 2003 are approved.
By the Commission.

Deputy Secretary

The couple's nuptials will appear on a TLC special shortly after the big day
Nick Lachey is going two-for-two in the televised weddings department!
TLC will air "Nick & Vanessa's Dream Wedding" (working title), a special to air just weeks after the couple's wedding date, which they are keeping top secret.
Lachey, 37, and Vanessa Minnillo, 30, have been dating since 2006 and got engaged last fall. He and ex-wife Jessica Simpson documented their own wedding and early married life on MTV's Newlyweds.
PHOTOS: Inside Nick & Vanessa's Wedding Shower!

The first sign that Barack Obama's demolition job on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital was going to be a doozy came on May 21 at the NATO summit in Chicago, of all places. Obama was asked a question about his campaign's first round of attacks on Bain, which had been criticized by Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker and a few other Democrats. The President could have chosen to give a quick "This isn't the place to talk politics" answer. But Obama not only chose to answer the question; he answered it at length. He made a bulletproof case for putting the Bain style of capitalism at the center of this campaign. It may have been the most important 617 words uttered by either candidate this year and it offers a preview of what is about to transpire in the next few months.
It was clear then that Obama wasn't going to back off of Bain, clear that Obama's consultants had found the anti-Bain case to be dynamite with focus groups. The case would be made on three levels. The first would be the gutbucket populist assault on Bain's laying off workers and sending jobs overseas. The dwindling Wall Street wing of the Democratic party considered this dreadful; the fact that Romney participated in the global economy made him guilty of precisely nothing. (The recent imbroglio about whether Romney actually retired from Bain in 1999 or continued to make outsourcing decisions is a minor, semirelevant subset of the populist pitch.)
The second level of the assault was a character attack: Why wasn't Romney releasing tax returns from the years when he was hauling it in at Bain? This was a much fatter target. During the Republican primaries, Romney had shown an impolitic reluctance to reveal even one year of his tax returns. We can assume that the 14% he paid in federal taxes during 2010 was a high-water mark. It's possible there were years when Romney paid no taxes at all. This is not to say he cheated. It is to say that the rules of the game were tilted, unfairly, in his direction which points the way to the most important, intellectually coherent and utterly proper level of the case against Romney and Bain. This was the case Obama previewed at the NATO summit and to which he will return as soon as the Romney campaign stops shooting itself in the face in response to the populist attacks leveled by the Obamians the past few weeks.
I should note that among Democrats, who've spent decades watching their presidential candidates be pinned down by bazooka-wielding Republican operatives like Lee Atwater and Karl Rove, there is transcendent glee as the Romney campaign makes donkey-style mistakes, like stumbling into "retroactive retirement" locutions and whining about the unfairness of it all.
What's the real case against Romney and Bain? In Chicago, the President said that private-equity capitalism was a "healthy part of the free market ... But understand that their priority is to maximize profits. And that's not always going to be good for communities or businesses or workers ... When you're President, as opposed to the head of a private-equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot ... Your job as President is to think about, How do we set up an equitable tax system so that everybody is paying their fair share?"

monthly mingle - spring fruit sensations
one of the things i love about blogging is the inspiration it provides me with. however, inspiration is only half the story. taking that exciting spark of an idea and turning it into something on the plate in front of me, is the real challenge.
and this is where blogging events come in – a challenge is issued and then it's time to start thinking what to cook so you can participate. and even if the timing doesn't quite work, or the idea you're working on wasn't quite as delicious as you'd hoped, then it's great to see what everyone else managed to come up with.
meeta's monthly mingles are always fabulous for inspiration and i am delighted to be hosting the next monthly mingle on her behalf. the theme is spring fruit sensations and you need to get involved. whatever fruit is in season where you live and whatever you fancy doing with it, be it sweet or savoury, i want to know about it!
here's how it works:
- create a dish that fits the theme of "spring fruit sensations"
- post about it on your blog anytime from now until 7 april (entries must be in english, please).
- link to this post and send me details (see below)
once you've posted your dish, send an email with "spring fruit sensations" in the subject line to: abby (at) eattherightstuff (dot) com by 7 april with the following information:
- your name
- your location
- the name of your blog and its url
- the name of your dish and a link to the relevant post
- a copy of the main photo of your dish (if you use one)
let's get cooking!
some fruit dishes to help inspire you:

An Alabama firing range is reaching out specifically to the "ladies" in its area with an easy-listening, '80's FM-style radio jingle.
The unforgettable song goes: "Are you ready? Are you prepared? Your best defense can't be that you're scared."
Hoover Tactical Firearms — which hosted an official state Republican Mitt Romney "victory party" on election night — is catering to the ever-increasing female firearm touting population.
A recent Gallup poll found that 23 percent of women are now gun owners. Only 13 percent had guns in 2005.
There's even a slew of pink semi-automatic weapons, featuring logos from Prada to My Little Pony, marketed directly to women.

Each year at EBACE, Aviation Week's ShowNews names ten leaders that have helped shape business aviation in Europe. This year's movers and shakers have been selected for their contribution to the growth of the industry against a continually tough economical backdrop. See Aviation Week's ShowNews EBACE editions for full-page profiles of each of the leaders.
Dustin Dryden, CEO, Hangar8
Dustin Dryden cofounded Hangar8, based at London-Oxford Airport, in 2002. The company has more than 50 aircraft under management and employs over 300 personnel and has offices in the U.K, Nigeria, Malta, Kazakhstan and South Africa. Its managed fleet covers the spectrum of business jets from ultra long range to entry level.
"My intention is not to have the biggest fleet but to have the most profitable and well-run business. We usually add five to six aircraft per year so I would like to see the fleet grow to 60-70 aircraft over the next couple of years," says Dryden, who owns 40% of the publicly traded company.
Gerrit Basson, Managing Director, ExecuJet Europe
Gerrit Basson, who holds the role of chief operating officer for the ExecuJet group, took on the role of managing director for the European operation in February 2013. ExecuJet's European managed fleet, made up of mostly widebody long-range aircraft, stands at 50 and is growing. The majority of the fleet is under full management. ExecuJet's charter business has seen double-digit growth in FBO movements and charter hours flown over the last few years.
"The focus this year is on consolidating and solidifying our position in the market, globally as well as Europe, to further establish ourselves in the market. There won't be a lot of geographical expansion this year unless fantastic opportunities arise," says Basson.
Joe Buckley, Business Development Manager, Shannon Airport
Shannon Airport in Ireland offers U.S. Customs and Immigration pre-clearance for passengers and crew flying to any of the 220 U.S. airports signed up to the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program. On arrival, passengers are treated as domestic arrivals. Shannon is the only airport in the world to offer this service and the process of securing this special facility has been a long one, says Buckley. The airport first gained pre-clearance for business jets in 2010 but it had plenty of teething problems. "The most significant problem was the requirement from U.S. CBP that the aircraft APUs be shut down as it was thought they could interfere with their [security] equipment, but this was proven not to be the case," explained Buckley. "The NBAA Security and Safety Council did great work with CBP and Homeland Security, and even the security equipment manufacturers were involved to prove that it wouldn't be a problem."
"The other difficulty was that initially the authorities wouldn't clear FAR Part 135 charter aircraft, and procedures were a bit cumbersome in the way that they would pre-clear an aircraft. After lobbying for a couple of months we got the acknowledgement that all business jets would be included in the pre-clearance program. So that was a major step forward."
Kadri Muhiddin, CEO, AMAC Aerospace
Basel-based AMAC Aerospace is best known for its completions and maintenance on airliner and jumbo-size corporate jets. The company started operations in 2009 and now employs 650 people across three hangars in Basel and a fourth in Istanbul, Turkey.
Kadri Muhiddin has been in the industry for 40 years with 22 years spent in VIP completions. "People knew about me, and although AMAC was new they knew they were going to get a good product." The first aircraft completed by AMAC was an Airbus A320ACJ for a Middle Eastern ruler. "It had to sit for eight months on the tarmac waiting for the first hangar to be finished as this client wanted to be our launch customer," Muhiddin told Aviation Week.
AMAC's facility is fully booked into 2015. Further contracts awaiting finalization will take the backlog into 2017, according to Muhiddin.
Mark Wilson, President & CEO, NetJets Europe
NetJets has 130 aircraft in its European fleet and it currently has around 1,300 members split between fractional owners and card member products. 80% of flight hours are flown by fractional members. While membership is not growing significantly, "some ex-aircraft owners are coming into fractional over the last year and we see that trend continuing," notes Wilson.
Wilson, previously NetJets Europe COO, became president and CEO of the company in January 2013. He is based at the company's headquarters in Portugal.
NetJets has two Bombardier Global 6000s in service with two more due this year as the company gradually grows this fleet. "These aircraft are aimed totally at our fractional market. One of the beauties of the fractional model is that customers can buy whatever fraction is appropriate – some people have taken a larger holding than average on these aircraft as they've recognized that the aircraft is truly global in nature and they intend to fly in them quite a lot." Wilson explains that each aircraft is expected to fly around 800 hours per year with owners typically averaging around 100 hours per year, which adds up to a one-eighth share in each aircraft. "800 hours is what we attempt to put on per tail per year," adds Wilson.
Marwen Khalek, CEO, Gama Group
Gama Group started operations in 1983 with a Beech Baron and has since become a major player in business aviation services with 80 aircraft now in its fleet. The company has 400 employees working at its 25 operating bases.
Marwen Khalek was one of the group's founders and still has plenty of ambition for the company. "Our strategy is that we're in this business for the long haul. The market remains very fragmented, whether it's Europe or elsewhere, so it makes sense to invest. The expansion is targeted and is in response to what our customers want," Khalek tells Aviation Week. "Our Glasgow International Airport hangar, for example, is in direct response to the needs of our clients the NHS [National Health Service] Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service." The 1,600 sq. meter hangar will house the Scottish Air Ambulance's King Air aircraft and will help grow the company's base and line maintenance capabilities.
Patrick Margetson-Rushmore, Chief Executive, London Executive Aviation
London Executive Aviation (LEA) was founded in 1996 with a single piston-engine aircraft. Today it has 26 aircraft in its fleet and it is one of the largest executive air charter operators in Europe. LEA's Legacy fleet has grown mainly through inter-owner recommendation. "We're certainly the largest Legacy operator in Europe and I guess we're becoming the first port of call for people who have an aircraft they want looking after," said Margetson-Rushmore.
The company also handles acceptance and delivery flights for Embraer products, including the Phenom 100, Phenom 300 and Legacys, some of which are now managed by LEA.
"As we grow and expand we are interested in looking after large widebody aircraft. On the continent there are a number of companies concentrating on this area, but our philosophy is still to maintain a spread of aircraft types from small upward. We're certainly not moving away from small fleet types," said Margetson-Rushmore.
Steve Jones, Managing Director, Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group's Aviation Services
Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group is one of the longest established aerospace companies in Europe with a 104-year history. It acquired FlairJet, the Oxford airport-based aircraft management and charter company in March 2013 and FlairJet has now integrated its operations with Marshall Executive Aviation. "Our financial projections already show a dramatic improvement in the financial performance of Marshall Executive Aviation from last year and we would anticipate an improvement of at least £0.5 million by the end of this financial year. We're not ruling out further acquisitions if that fast-tracks us into fleet growth, and this could happen this year," says Jones, who is also the managing director of Cambridge airport and heads up all non-military aviation for the Marshall Group.
"In the last year it's all been about accumulating a strong team and so far it has been more about building expertise than building things," said Jones. "The sales and acquisitions arm of the business is going extremely well. We have a portfolio now of nine contracted sales aircraft with a value well in excess of £20 million that we are trading at the moment."
Jones was also tasked with forming JETability, a full service business aviation division, which operates out of Cambridge airport. JETability is already seeing a significant amount of aircraft sales brokerage business coming from banks, according to Jones. "There are a lot of business aircraft repossessions going on. We're getting quite a few aircraft and helicopter repossessions for resale and we're almost becoming the broker of choice for this market."
Thierry Boutsen, President, Boutsen Aviation
Ex-Formula 1 race driver Thierry Boutsen formed Boutsen Aviation in 1997 as a part-time venture then took it full time in 2000. Based in Monaco, Boutsen has sold 261 aircraft to date and turned over $1.2 billion in sales. His first sale was a $275,000 Piper Cheyenne II and the 250th was a VVIP Airbus Corporate Jet worth $100 million.
Bouten says he has had a number of repeat customers since 2000. "We have experience in 50 different countries so we know exactly how to register an airplane on almost every continent. We handle the technical, administrative and legal side of the transaction."
Thomas Flohr, Chairman, VistaJet
For years, Swiss-based VistaJet has claimed to be the world's fastest-growing private aviation company with the largest wholly owned commercial fleet outside the Americas. Eschewing the fractional model, Thomas Flohr founded VistaJet in 2004. "We tore up all the old conventions and designed a revolutionary business model focused entirely around our clients. What they wanted. What they needed. Then we invested in the largest privately owned fleet of aircraft outside the Americas. We've never looked back," says Flohr.
The company has consistently seen revenue growth of 20-25% a year. Last year it carried 25,000 passengers on 10,000 single international flights. "The simple business model ensures the entire fleet is made available to all customers – with guaranteed availability within 24 hours notice – offering a truly global reach with no positioning costs," says Flohr.
Flohr's strategy of using long-range aircraft to directly link new trade routes across the globe has paid off, driving new business and resulting in the company last November placing the largest-ever order with Bombardier for $7.8 billion-worth of Global jets, comprising 56 firm and 86 optioned aircraft.

As of November 2015 each set now includes a wireless RGB controller allowing for 20 different color combinations, at 5 different intensity levels. This allows for multiple lighting choices, including the ability to match the OEM dash/switch lighting. They offer a truly unique look, at an affordable price. All LED rings are CNC cut, then hand finished and assembled. Minimal modification is needed to make them fit in the OEM location. Each set includes everything needed to tap into your factory wiring. Sold as a pair.
These LED rings require slight modification to your XK or WK's cupholder. Cutting and/or drilling is required. Jeep-Core recommends taking the measure twice, and cut once mentality. In addition, the LED's require tapping into the factory wiring harness. There are two basic choices. The first of which involves tapping into XK or WK's light wiring so that the LED's come on whenever the lights are on. The second method involves tapping into any ignition switched source. The factory switched power plug makes an excellent choice.
Jeep-Core can't be held accountable for lack of proper preparation. If you are uncomfortable making the needed modifications, we suggest you find someone who is, or ask for advice before installation.

D23 Expo Exposes Treats for Ultimate Disney Fan Experience
By Debra Martin Koma
AllEars® Senior Editor
Feature Article
This article appeared in the September 1, 2009 Issue #519 of ALL EARS®
I don't know about you, but I'm getting excited about the upcoming D23 Expo, which is running September 10 through 13 at the Anaheim Convention Center in California.
That's probably because Deb Wills, Laura Gilbreath and I from the AllEars® Team, along with a few of our friends, will be attending the four-day event as reporters — and, of course, as fans ourselves. We're anxiously looking forward to bringing the news and excitement, both on the floor and behind the scenes, to you via live reports, Twitter, blogs, photos and videos.
Billed as the "Ultimate Disney Fan Experience", the expo is expected to draw thousands of Disney fans and promises a plethora of Disney-themed events, ranging from appearances of big and small screen personalities, book authors, and Disney animators, to keynote speeches by Disney executives, and much, much more.
In a conversation I had last week with Steven Clark, head of D23, I had a chance to find out a bit more about what's in store for me, you, and all the other Disney fans who will be making the pilgrimage to Anaheim for the event.
"Every day has its own set of 'wows!' " Clark asserts, noting that he expects participants will have a difficult time choosing which presentations and activities to attend. "This is going to be the first time we will have the best and brightest Disney events all under one roof at one time."
The Expo will kick off at 10 a.m. Thursday, September 10, with a presentation by Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger. That presentation will be followed by the induction of this year's Disney Legends, a sort of "Hall of Fame" program in which Disney honors its long-term contributors and collaborators. Former Disney Legends include a wide range of entertainers and artists — from actors Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins) and Fess Parker (Davy Crockett) to voice of Mickey Mouse Wayne Allwine to animator X Atencio — many of whom are expected to be in attendance at the Expo. (The 2009 Disney Legends Award honorees include, among others, Tony Anselmo, a Disney animator who, since 1985, has provided the voice of Donald Duck; the late Golden Girl actresses Bea Arthur and Estelle Getty, as well as living Golden Girls Rue McClanahan and Betty White; Leota Toombs Thomas, world-famous as the Haunted Mansion's disembodied Madame Leota; and actor Robin Williams.)
"This is the 22nd year of the Disney Legends ceremony," Clark notes, "but this is the first time we're able to bring it to the fans. We're thrilled that about 4000 fans will be able to be part of this — it's truly Disney history in the making."
Another recently announced highlight will be the appearance of singer Donny Osmond, who will be on stage as part of the ABCs of Television, a presentation spotlighting this fall's new series on Disney-owned ABC-TV. Osmond, a long-time Disney collaborator (he sang the role of Shang in Disney's animated feature "Mulan" back in 1998) will be a featured contestant on this year's "Dancing with the Stars" program, dancing with professional partner Kym Johnson. Osmond and Johnson will perform at the 3 p.m. Thursday presentation, alongside such other ABC-TV stars as Kelsey Grammer, Patricia Heaton, Ed O'Neill, and Joseph Fiennes.
"Donny is a big supporter of Disney," Clark states, "and he is as excited to participate in the D23 Expo as we are thrilled to have him."
Clark says that it's not just the celebrity appearances, though, that will delight fans. "The D23 Expo has something for everyone — whether you're an ardent Disney follower, or just a casual fan looking for something to do on the weekend."
In addition to the induction of the Disney Legends, Clark says that he himself is looking forward to seeing the Treasures of the Disney Archives that will be on exhibit. Curated by Disney Archivist Dave Smith, himself a Disney Legend, the Expo marks the first time that the Disney Archives have held their own exhibition. Previously, pieces have been loaned out to others, but at the Expo there will be 100 pieces that will be displayed in a way that's never been done before. Among the notable items: costumes from the Mickey Mouse Club's Annette Funicello, as well as the films Mary Poppins, Tron, Pirates of the Caribbean, High School Musical and Enchanted, as well as costumes from movies made by Lucasfilms. And there will be at least one costume that has never been on display before: the outfit worn by singer Michael Jackson in the Disney theme park movie Captain EO.
For younger kids, there will be "an endless array of activities," such as the Disney Creativity Center by Crayola. There will also be Lego Master Sculptors on hand helping design massive sculptures of Disney characters. There's a Baby Einstein playzone for the littlest tykes, and a few Disney Channel events that will appeal to the "tweens," such as the entire cast of The Wizards of Waverly Place, and DJs from Radio Disney.
"So many of these programs are really cross-generational," Clark notes. "For example, the special program featuring the Muppets (on Sunday at 3:30) shows off the nice marriage between the memorable characters created by Walt Disney and Jim Henson, two visionaries. I think it will appeal to younger and older fans alike, doesn't matter what your age is."
For anyone planning to attend the Expo, whether one day or all four, Clark strongly suggests planning ahead.
"If you're not already a D23 member, I'd suggest you join," Clark says. "Not only will being a D23 member get you a discount on the Expo tickets, but it will get you into the convention center an hour early (8 a.m. versus 9 a.m. when the event opens to the general public). By getting in early, you'll be able to ensure you get a spot for the day's keynote speakers, and the events you want to attend."
Clark also encourages attendees to check out the schedule that's online at D23expo.com. By seeing what's available, you'll be able to better plan your day, otherwise you could end up missing a lot on the schedule.
For those of you who can't be there, never fear! Not only will D23 be sending out messages via Twitter, the AllEars® Team will also be "tweeting," and sending photos via Twitter.
And if you're thinking beyond this year — well, the D23 Expo will be in California again next year, and for the next few years, but Clark won't rule out an Expo for the East Coast-based Disney World fans.
"And," he adds tantalizingly, "we will be making some announcements very soon about some special upcoming Walt Disney World events for D23 members…"

You may have good reason to complain about the cost of your auto insurance, but have you tried to do anything about it? If you're resourceful and willing to do a little homework, there may be plenty of ways to lower your premium. And we're not necessarily talking chump change--a few simple steps can sometimes save you hundreds of dollars a year.
Shop around
One of your first steps should be to shop around for a better deal. Sometimes the best time to do this is when your current policy is up for renewal--especially if you find that your premium has gone up. You may be surprised to learn that premiums for the same coverage on the same car can vary widely among insurance companies, even in states that regulate auto insurance rates. That's because different companies have different ways of pricing coverage and determining rate increases. You can shop around on your own over the phone and on-line, but it's usually easier to have your insurance agent or broker do the legwork for you.
Raise your deductibles
When you file an insurance claim for loss of or damage to your car, you will probably be subject to a deductible. This is an amount that you must pay out of your own pocket before your insurance company begins to cover your losses (different deductibles probably apply to your collision and other-than-collision coverage). The higher your deductibles, the lower your annual premium. In fact, by raising the deductible for your collision and/or other-than-collision coverage, you may be able to cut your premium by 10 percent or more. The reason is simple: Increasing your deductible shifts some of the financial risk to you. If you decide to do this, though, make sure that you can afford the larger deductible if and when the time comes.
Downgrade your choice of car
New cars and top-of-the-line models typically cost more to insure than used cars and lower-end models. In addition, cars are rated on a risk scale for insurance purposes. Sports cars and other high-performance vehicles are higher risks because they are popular targets for thieves and vandals and typically cost a lot to repair. Also, statistics show that people who own flashy cars tend to drive more recklessly. Other types of cars may be considered safety risks (e.g., if they're prone to rollovers). So if you're in the market for a car, remember that you can save on insurance by purchasing a low-risk or less expensive vehicle.
Look into discounts
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for one or more discounts on your auto insurance. These discounts can sometimes result in substantial premium savings, so talk to your agent about any that might apply. Here are some ways to qualify for discounts:
Drive less: If you drive less than a certain number of miles a year (e.g., 12,000), you may be eligible for a low-mileage discount. There are many possible ways to cut your mileage to qualify for this discount, such as taking the train to work instead of driving.
Drive more safely: You may be entitled to a safe driver discount if you maintain a clean driving record for a certain amount of time (usually three years). This generally means no accidents, drunk driving convictions, serious moving violations, or other infractions during that time.
Add safety/antitheft devices: You may receive a discount if your car is equipped with safety features like antilock brakes, automatic seat belts, and airbags. Also, antitheft devices such as car alarms and tracking systems may get you a discount because they reduce the odds of theft and vandalism.
Check out rates by location: If you are moving or relocating, check out rate differences among your possible new residences. Sometimes a short distance can mean a big difference in rates.
Keep your car in a garage: Housing your car in a garage may give you a slight break on your premium. That's because cars parked in garages are less likely to be stolen, vandalized, or struck by other vehicles.
Get a multipolicy/multifamily discount: You may receive a discount from your insurance company if you buy more than one type of insurance from that same company (e.g., auto and homeowners). A discount may also apply if you insure multiple cars under the same policy or with the same company.
Ask about other discounts: Other discounts may be available if you don't smoke, participate in a car pool, stay with the same company for a number of years, are over 50 years of age, have a covered child who attends school at least 100 miles away, or meet other conditions.
Drop certain coverages
The collision and other-than-collision portions of your policy cover damage to your own vehicle from accidents and a variety of other causes. This coverage is optional in virtually every state, so does it make sense to have it? In most cases, yes. However, if you drive an older car that's worth less than $1,000, it may be cost effective to drop this type of coverage. Why? Even if the car were stolen or totaled, the amount of money you'd get from your insurance company would be relatively small. In some cases, the amount you'd receive would be even less than your out-of-pocket costs for this type of coverage (the extra premium and the deductible). Another thought is to drop any optional endorsements you may have--weigh the cost of these items against their importance to you.
Lower coverage limits
Another way to reduce your premium is to lower the dollar amounts of certain coverages (though state minimums may apply). But be very careful. Having less than adequate amounts of insurance can be risky, especially in the area of liability coverage. You should keep your liability coverage as high as possible, because this is where you can have the greatest losses. For example, if you injure people in an accident, claims against you for medical bills and other expenses can be substantial. You might consider less coverage in other areas, but don't rush into these decisions just to save money--discuss them with your insurance agent or broker first.

Choose the right sling, try ourTry also our other guidesGo to the Fabric Guide »Go to the Size Guide »
Liko AmputeeSling is designed for safe and secure lifting of patients with amputated legs. The sling was developed mainly for double-sided leg amputations, though it is also suitable for many other leg amputees.
The AmputeeSling can also be used to lift people who are not amputees but who have a tendency to slip out of other similar slings.
The sitting posture is slightly reclined. The leg supports are normally applied parallel to each other under both thighs, but in some cases it may be more appropriate to lift each thigh separately.
Model 75 has a head support.
Sizes Medium and Large are relatively small, i.e. Medium fits a slender person.The AmputeeSling can be specially ordered in any of the fabrics in our assortment.More information can be found in the Instruction Guide (refer to "Document" below).
As an alternative to the AmputeeSling and for lifting leg amputees, many of Liko's slings can be used, depending on the degree of amputation, sling application and type of lifting situation.
We recommend on of the following:

Ideoma's logo here is along the right lines. Professional looking like this is what is required. If you put in lines of vines as in a vineyard above the sullivan wines that would be great.
Keep font nice and professional again like Ideoma's
Dont try to complicate it. Vineyard, then sullivan wines and then wine merchant (small text) all beneath each other
