My friend Alex took me to Grand Sichuan last Friday night, his local Sichuan jernt of cherce. I liked it so much I took Emily the next day. Mostly, so I could have this dish, cucumber salad with scallion sauce, again:
The dressing, from what I could tell, consists of scallion puree, sesame oil, salt and sugar. Man, is it ever tasty. Worth the trip. So is the cumin beef dish (a most curious but delicious experience) and the pork soup dumplings.

Our new website on gender mainstreaming
12 November 2009, Rome – FAO launched today this new corporate website on gender mainstreaming in agriculture and rural development. The new website reaffirms FAO's commitment to promoting gender equality and the empowerment of rural women. It will also contribute to a series of global initiatives, focused on ensuring world food security, by highlighting the fundamental role of gender equity in eliminating hunger and poverty.
Rural men and women are the world's main food producers, yet make up 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry. In a statement, FAO's Director General, Jacques Diouf, said: "We cannot fight poverty and hunger without addressing gender inequalities. I will personally ensure that FAO positions itself within the international community as the lead agency for promoting gender equality both in its technical work and in its human resources policies."
FAO's new strategic framework - which goes for approval by the Organization's biennial Conference in November - includes a specific strategic objective of gender equity in access to resources, goods, services and decision-making in rural areas. Adequate resources would be allocated to the strategic objective so that it can successfully reach its expected outcomes, Dr Diouf said.
As the United Nations lead agency for agricultural and rural development, FAO is in the midst of hosting a series of high-level encounters in Rome on the rising numbers of hungry people in the world. They include an Expert forum on How to Feed the World in 2050 (12-13 October) and a Civil Society Forum (14-16 November) involving farmers, indigenous people, women, youth and international NGOs. Outcomes will be presented at the World Summit on Food Security on 16-18 November, which aims at more effective and sustainable agricultural and rural development policies.
Eve Crowley, Principal Advisor in FAO's Gender, Equity and Rural Employment Division, says: "One of the cross-cutting issues to be reckoned with at every level in rural development is how social and economic inequalities between men and women can stand in the way of food security for an entire household, nation or region.
"We need to look at how gender differences can be taken into account to enhance the access which both rural men and women have to essential resources and opportunities to improve food security and sustainable agriculture."
The launch of the new Gender website also marks two important anniversaries in the history of FAO's support to rural women and gender equity. It is 60 years since FAO launched its first programme, in 1949, for women's economic and social development. Thirty years later, in 1979, the UN's landmark Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women – also known as "Women's Bill of Rights" - entrusted FAO with responsibility for advising and assisting countries on eliminating discrimination against women in rural areas.

LANSING (AP) -- More than 50,000 people have used Michigan's program to try to quit smoking in the last 10 years.
The state recently reported that the Michigan Tobacco Quitline has grown from a regional pilot project offering telephone coaching to a comprehensive program since beginning in 2003. The quit line now has coaching on the Internet, through email and text messaging, and referrals to local quit-smoking programs.
About 23 percent of Michigan adults say they smoke cigarettes on a regular basis. That is higher than the U.S. average.
The quit line is available seven days a week and can be reached at 800-QUIT-NOW (800-784-8669) or https://michigan.quitlogix.org.

While Markets Get Seized: Pedophiles Launch a Crowdfunding Site
Posted by: DeepDotWeb
November 9, 2014
Update: The Site was shut down – Details at the bottom of this post.
I was going to post this just a few hours before the news about Operation Onymous started to flow in, but now it seems more relevant than ever. I am sure that once the media starts showing interest in real crimes, Law Enforcement budgets will be adjusted accordingly.
Dark Net Crowdfunding Site for Child Pornography is Launched
In case any Law Enforcement agent or agency is feeling bored: one of our dark net sources provided us with some information on an illicit, dark net operation that could use some of your government resources. Recently, a person or group reached a new low when it started promoting a new "Darknet crowdfunding site" aimed at child pornography producers looking to make some money from their "content." This crowdfunding site describes the "unfair" reality where child pornography producers are unable to earn money from their "productions." Since people share child pornography videos for free on Tor's various CP sites right after the first copy is sold, according to the site, producers miss out on a large portion of the potential revenue that could be "earned." The new site aims to tackle this problem by offering a crowdfunding platform for child pornography producers:
This site is the best method for child porn producers to sell their content. Before, it was almost impossible to make commercial grade child porn, since as soon as they sell it to one person, that video is all over TOR for free. This site aims to solve that problem by having many pedos each contribute a small amount of bitcoin towards the video. Once the total contribution reaches the asking price, the video is released here, on this site, to everyone who contributed at least 0.05 bitcoin. The producer is then paid the asking price, minus a 22% commission. If the asking price is not reached after one month, then everyone who made a contribution is given their money back and the video is erased from the server.
The site's administrator then went on to explain how he has "Zero tolerance for rape or even coercing an unwilling child to participate.":
Our biggest concern is the welfare of children who appear on this site. {Site name redacted} has a ZERO tolerance policy for rape or even coercing an unwilling child to participate. If there is even the slightest hint that your video contains an unwilling participant, it will not be posted on the site. Light bondage is acceptable as long as it's just role playing and the child does not appear to be in distress. In addition, children younger than three years will not be allowed to appear on this site, since children younger than that do not necessarily have the ability to communicate whether they like what you are doing to them. The same goes for children who are asleep.
We also require that if you are a producer, you must pay your child actors a fair wage. The purpose of this site is so that your delicious lolis can afford college, not so that you can exploit them for your own personal gain. Of course we have no way to enforce this rule, but please respect it anyway since it is the right thing to do.
Obviously, this operation could not exist without some safety advice and Bitcoin tumbling:
Dark Net Crowdfunding site for Child Pornography is Already Funding Productions
Sites like this one mentioned in this article make the child pornography "industry" even worse than it would be otherwise, because they provide an incentive for expanding the production of child pornography. According to our source, people are already capitalizing on this incentive; there are already live campaigns on this site that are being funded.
Here is a screenshot of the site, provided to us by our source, with the site's details redacted:
So LE, Now that all these horrifying Silk-Roadian-Market Sites are down (Ok not all of them, just few), Lets see how fast you could take this one down along with the others. Ready? Go.
Update – On November 29, 2014, the site displayed this message from the owner, and was later taken down by its owner:
I spent over 100 hours coding this site, I spent over $300 hosting it, and I spent over $1000 of my own bitcoins contributing to videos because I wanted this site to become successful and I wanted you to all be able to see these videos. And how do you reward me for my generosity? By spitting in my face. You accused me of being a cop, you accused me of being a scammer. You made up fake rumors about bitcoins being unsafe to scare people away from my site. All because you are self-entitled brats who wanted your CP for free instead of having to pay producers a fair price.I never scammed anyone. I released every video as promised. I paid every producer on time. Even now in closing, I have returned all remaining bitcoins to the person who contributed them instead of running away with them myself. But that did not stop you from lying about me.
The bottom line is you do not deserve this service I created for you and you certainly do not deserve to have me in your community. I am shutting down PedoFunding indefinitely. Maybe one day if there is enough demand to bring it back I will bring it back at the same address. (If you see a different onion address it is not me running it.) But after what this community has done to me, you will have to BEG me to come back
Update: Giving the community one last chance.
"I have been monitoring pedo forums and many people have said they wish this site was still running and that I should have kept it going longer to give it a good chance of taking off. I am going to give the pedo comunity one last chance. The two active campaigns have had their time remaining reduced to one week. The total amount contributed has been reset to zero since I already refunded everyone's bitcoins from these campaigns. If both of these videos are both successfully funded, I will keep running the site and I will also create a new feature that allows hoarders to get a little bit of money for posting their all-ready-made videos from other producers. All normal rules about releases and refunds will be in effect for these two campaigns.
So here you have it, tor-pedos: This is your chance to vote with your wallets whether PedoFunding stays, or leaves the darknet forever."

Full Item Description
The Soilturner of the Spring is a typical seeming plowshare, meant to be pulled through the dirt by a pair of oxen. Though it appears a bit more battered than most, it is still solid and ready to be used.
As he turned the soil of his properties one long spring day, a old, weary farmer heard a powerful cracking sound, as his plow struck something beneath the earth. Halting his oxen, he took up his shovel, and was most disturbed to see that his plow had cracked upon a shard of the strangest metal he'd ever seen, buried beneath the earth. Cursing and swearing, he dug the long sliver up from beneath the rocks that trapped it, along with the remnants of his plow, and put his oxen away for the night.
The next day, he dragged the whole mess to the smith, to have it repaired, forgetting the shard that he'd thrown in the pile. And, in the end, it was all forged into a single item, the farmer gaining a Shard of Storm as the leading edge of his plow. He took it home, and was pleased with its effecacy, for now, it clove even the greatest of rocks in its path, and he was even more surprised when the gentlest of rains fell the next morn, just enough to dampen the soil. And again the next, and the next, and the next…
Magic/Cursed Properties
The powers of the Soilturner are really quite a simple set: First, no obstacle beneath the ground can stop or damage the plow. It will simply slash its way through them, the edges of the cut object left worn and sandblasted in its appearance. Second, from spring till summer, the fields tilled by the Soilturner always recieve just precisely the right amount of precipitation. The Soilturner does not regulate temperature in any way - The yields of the fields of the Soilturner, however, are typically many times magnified from a naturally tilled field.
And as two are the powers of this accidental artifact, twofold are its curses. First, the Soilturner's fields must be carefully rotated. It is extremely easy, over the course of a few years, to totally deplete the soil of its ability to bear life. These fields become bogpits in spring, and crumble away to dust in the summer, carrying the life-blood of the farm away upon the wind… Second, recieving, as he does, the yield of the field, the farmer who uses the plow is invariably filled with the oe'rweening pride and even hubris of the Goddess and her foe…

Here in Youngstown, Ohio, football is king. There is a great tradition at the high school, college (Jim Tressel won national championships at Y'town State before heading to Columbus), and professional level. But, if the press had a number 2 sport in this town, it would have to be boxing.
Yesterday, in the midst of the Black Friday news coverage, people talking about their Thanksgiving, and continued complaints about TSA security at airports, there was a small story in Yahoo Sports which has a lot of local people talking.
Former middleweight boxing champion Kelly Pavlik has been in the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., since Nov. 4 for treatment of a problem with alcohol, the fighter's father, Mike Pavlik, told Yahoo! Sports on Friday. The 28-year-old slugger's boxing career is in doubt, said co-manager Cameron Dunkin, who said, "I don't know if he'll ever fight again."The article goes on to say that after Pavlik won the title, he didn't quite know how to deal with his new found fame.
"The kind of kid Kelly is, he doesn't want to say no to anyone. It was kind of like the Mickey Mantle syndrome here. Everywhere he went, everyone wanted to buy the champ a beer. He didn't want to disappoint anyone or say no and it wound up causing him a pretty serious problem."Now, don't get me wrong, people are responsible for their own actions. However, in this town, successful sports figures are elevated to such a high pedestal, it's definitely understandable about how this situation played out.
What will be interesting for me to see now is how Youngstown, Ohio responds to news of this nature. Since he lost his title 6 months ago, there has not been too much local press on this guy. Has this town now abandoned this guy since he is no longer the champ? Does this town now consider him damaged goods since he is now in rehab?
C'mon Youngstown, you're better than that. This is the time to rally around this guy again, but not because he's fighting for a titie. Now, he's fighting for his life. His father says it best at the end of the article.
"My whole concern for him is for him is to get healthy and be a good husband, a good father, a good son, a good citizen and a respectable man," Mike Pavlik said. "That's what I want from him. We're all supportive of that goal. As a father, it's destroying me to see this. Here is somebody that God has shed His blessing on and he had everything right at his fingertips.In its heyday, Youngstown, Ohio was one of the leading steel towns in all of the world. Many local business and thought leaders are trying to write its comeback story. But, how nice would it be for the community to come together for one if its favorite sons to help him make a comeback of his own. We'll have to see if this community has the courage to do just that...

Gillian Anderson delighted us for years as the skeptical Agent Scully on The X-Files, and now she wants to return to the genre that made her famous, this time as an author. However, the main character in her upcoming book series sounds tailor-made for Anderson as an actress.
Anderson told Entertainment Weekly that she's working a series titled EarthEnd Saga, and that the first book, A Vision of Fire, will be coming out from Simon & Schuster's new speculative fiction Simon451 imprint in October. But Anderson isn't undertaking this project alone; writer and editor Jeff Rovin will be co-authoring the series—so it's not clear how much writing Anderson herself is doing.
Anderson certainly wouldn't be the first actor to find a second career in writing, but the main character in A Vision of Fire certainly sounds like she would be played by Anderson if the story found its way to the screen. That character would be Caitlin O'Hara, a child psychiatrist who travels the world treating children who have been traumatized through natural disasters and war. One of her patients, a young girl, proves particularly troubling. Anderson told EW, "Over the course of spending time and helping her and investigating the origins of the girl's trauma, Caitlin begins to realize that the girl's behavior is tied to much greater forces in the universe, and as the story unfolds, she must prevent destruction on a grand scale." Perhaps Anderson is trying to build a future role for herself, or perhaps part of the appeal of the book will be imagining Anderson reading the dialogue in her cool Scully voice.

Hangover Helper: Breakfast Sandwich on Homemade English Muffins from Model Bakery, St. Helena, CA
Just what the doctor ordered.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a wine-loving young woman in Napa on Saturday morning must be in want of a breakfast sandwich.
On this particular Saturday, she was in want of more than one. Kenji and I had gotten up far too early that morning to drive from San Francisco up to Napa (phase one of our Ford Escape road trip), and were in St. Helena by the time we got to our first eating destination. I was a few grateful sips into a 20-ounce coffee when the ever-helpful Aaron Ginsberg tweeted at us: "Have you had the homemade English muffins at Model Bakery?"
Homemade English muffins, you say? We were less than a 5 minute drive away, and a quick bit of Googling led me to a breakfast sandwich photo more beautiful than anything I'd ever seen in my life.
Somehow I'd never been to Model Bakery, despite growing up in Northern California and spending a decent amount of time in Napa. The place has been around since the 1920s, on Main Street in St. Helena, and while their breads are excellent (we were quite pleased with the sourdough boule you'll meet here), it's the English muffins they're famous for.
Have you ever seen one this tall, this puffy? They're actually made of an olive oil-laced focaccia dough that's punched out into thick rounds, laid on a cornmeal-lined tray, and then griddled in a crazy amount of clarified butter, turning each side a gorgeous golden brown. Each one is airy and spongy and crisp-edged in all the right ways.
On any other day, I probably would've just ordered two of these and enjoyed every crumb. But yes—this is a Hangover Helper, and while a killer English muffin was an excellent start, the fatty, salty mass in the middle matters even more. Here, we had a perfectly soft-set egg patty with ham, cheddar, and avocado, and it was every bit as satisfying as it looked. (On the side, freshly squeezed Meyer lemonade, because they can do that here.) Kenji was of the opinion that the avocado wasn't necessary, which is fair enough, but as a good Californian I'm of the opinion that avocado improves everything.
Here's the thing about breakfast sandwiches. Their pleasure-granting quotient is a factor of two things: how good they are, and how necessary they are. (Does one ever need any food like a breakfast sandwich?) This Model Bakery experience ranked supremely high on both axes. I've rarely liked one more, or needed one more. And it's comforting, in a region where you just might be drinking, to know where you'll drag yourself the next morning.

No Sweat Shakespeare is a labor of love from London-based father and son Shakespeare enthusiasts John and Warren King.
Warren King has taught English Literature for the past 35 years in a number of English schools. During the 1980s he was seconded to the National Shakespeare and Schools Project, where he worked to develop methods of teaching Shakespeare in the classroom that bring plays to life for students of all ages.
Warren subsequently worked as a Shakespeare consultant at the London Education Authority, where his focus was working with teachers to make Shakespeare lively, comprehensible and enjoyable for their students. He has created and delivered Shakespeare workshops for both teachers and students, and still regularly visits schools in the UK and Europe to address groups of teachers.
The No Sweat Shakespeare ebooks stem from a realisation that although so much good work has been done on textual aspectsm and the broad grasp of plot, few resources are available to give students a complete grasp of the complexity of a whole Shakespeare text in one short reading.

Progress Kentucky official resigns
Pressure is growing Thursday afternoon on a liberal super PAC in Kentucky accused of surreptitiously recording a strategy session held by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Jacob Conway, the Jefferson County Democratic Party's executive committee member who originally accused Progress Kentucky of making the recording, told NBC News he was on his way to talk to the FBI about the allegations. And the group's treasurer confirmed he had quit his position after the audio was published.

"At this time based on advice of both friends and counsel, I will be not be making a public statement available until everything has been reviewed by an attorney at this time," Douglas L. Davis told NBC News. "I have resigned my position as treasurer and did not and do not condone any allegations of illegal activity that might have taken place."
Conway told Louisville's NPR affiliate earlier Thursday that two Progress Kentucky employees bragged to him about recording the meeting through a door in McConnell's office.
Conway said Shawn Reilly and Curtis Morrison told him they snuck into McConnell's freshly-opened campaign office February 2, not long after McConnell held an open house for GOP activists and media members. They heard the meeting going on through a closed door and recorded it.

"When I guess they heard the tasteless and offensive and tacky things the McConnell campaign was saying, they decided to record it," Conway told Fox News in a later live phone interview. "They told me about it later that day, or maybe it was the next day. I don't really remember, it was a couple months ago."
McConnell campaign manager Jesse Benton told the radio station the door in question has a large gap at the bottom and a vent the duo could've recorded the meeting through.
The audio of the meeting, which shows the McConnell campaign discussed potential candidate Ashley Judd's mental health, was eventually leaked to Mother Jones, a liberal magazine, and posted earlier this week. The McConnell campaign immediately accused "the Left" of engaging in "Nixonian" tactics and "bugging" their office. They requested the FBI investigate the matter, and FBI officials met with McConnell staffers on Wednesday.

"WFPL's reports that left-wing activists illegally recorded a private meeting inside our campaign headquarters are very disturbing," Benton said in a statement Thursday. "At this point, we understand that the FBI is immersed in an intensive criminal investigation and must defer any further comment to them."
Conway told Fox News he came forward to clear the names of the state and national Democratic parties.
"As a party official, I thought it would — You know, the McConnell campaign is going to try to tie the Democratic Party here, locally, and on the state level and nationally, and they already have, to Progress Kentucky," he said. "The only reason I came forward with what I knew was to protect the Democratic party."
Conway said the FBI had not spoken to him.
( PODCAST: Gun control, Jay-Z in Cuba and Mitch McConnell's "bug" problem")
Kentucky is what's known as a one-party consent state, meaning if one party of a conversation knows they are being recorded, the recording is legal.
Benton said there was no way any of the meeting's 10 participants gave Progress Kentucky consent to tape the meeting.
"These are people that have been with Mitch a long time, and they love Mitch McConnell," Benton said on Fox News. "They are supremely loyal."
Benton said the FBI was examining surveillance footage from the building's lobby, but hadn't directly asked about Progress Kentucky, Reilly or Morrison. The FBI declined to comment on any of the recent developments.

Hosni Mubarak stepping down Friday as president of Egypt and handing control of the country to the military is an event that marks a stunning end to Mr. Mubarak's iron-grip regime. As recently as Thursday night, in a speech to the nation, he'd sounded as if he would hang on to the bitter end, refusing to give in fully to the demands of the hundreds of thousands of protesters who have filled Cairo's streets.
Then something changed. Was Mubarak pushed out by the Egyptian armed forces in a process that might fairly be called a military coup?
Well, yes and no. The "yes" part comes from the fact that Mubarak does not appear to have made his own decision to leave. He was pushed out, and the military is the only Egyptian institution with the power to push him.
Plus, in resigning, Mubarak handed control of Egypt to the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces, announced Vice President Omar Suleiman on state broadcast outlets Friday. So people in uniform apparently now are responsible for the operation of the government. If that's the real situation, it meets a classic definition of a coup.
But in many ways the military was already running the country. It's true that Mubarak created civilian security forces to protect his regime and in some ways has lessened the military's traditional involvement in Egyptian politics. But Mubarak was a military man himself, the former head of the Egyptian Air Force. So was Anwar Sadat. The military has been Egypt's locus of power since it overthrew the nation's monarchy in 1952. Is it a coup if you change the figure at the top of a pyramid you already control?
And this may be only the beginning. Mubarak's removal was the protesters' central demand, but far from the only one. Many have called for an expansion of civil and political rights – in short, democracy – as well. Mubarak's turtle-like slowness in reacting to the protests may have only inflamed the situation. A week ago his resignation might have been enough. It might not be, now.
Street pushing for civilian rule
"We are in a pre- or quasi-revolutionary moment in Egypt, which means it is highly unpredictable where this is going to go," says William Martel, an associate professor of security studies at Tufts University's Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy in Massachusetts.
Passions are such that the protesters are unlikely to accept meekly a military-run government, says Professor Martel. They will want to have representation of some sort on whatever transitional council emerges from the current chaos.
"At this point I'm not sure it matters much whether Mubarak is out and Suleiman is in," says Martel. "The political demands in Egypt will swamp [the military's] current plans."
It's true that the military now is only one of the actors in Egypt's ongoing drama, says Bruce Rutherford, associate professor of political science and Middle Eastern and Islamic civilization studies at Colgate University in New York.
The protesters are another. And they may not be satisfied by the inclusion of the usual opposition figures and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed ElBaradei in any interim government. The young people who fill out the protester ranks may respect these individuals, but they want a new generation of opposition leaders in power as well.
Will constitution be in force?
A key point to watch in coming days is whether the current constitution remains in force and the military agrees to work within it, says Professor Rutherford.
"It will also be important to follow whether the military delegates most power over political and economic matters to civilian officials," he says. "If they do both of these things, then this is, at most, a soft coup."
If they suspend the constitution and put officers in charge of key political and economic portfolios, then events might constitute a hard coup, as most of us might define it, Rutherford adds.
It's far from clear exactly what caused Mubarak to agree to step down, of course. Further revelations may change the way the world looks at this moment. But for now it appears that a mass uprising as toppled one of the Arab world's longest-serving autocrats.
"It is a historic day for the people of Egypt," said US Vice President Joe Biden Friday at an appearance in Kentucky.

Three young extreme sport enthusiasts (surfer Tori, skateboarder Shane, and motocross biker Dustin) spend their afternoons together at the Wind Ninja Academy, where the future stealth protectors of the Earth are trained in secret. Though they're considered to be the three least dedicated of the students, the trio's potential and good nature comes to an advantage when they run late for class one afternoon. It just so happens, that day, Lothor, a banished evil ninja, comes back to the planet and conquers every Ninja Academy with his hoard of Evil Alien Ninjas! With their shape-shifting Sensei trapped in the form of a guinea pig, and his grumpy and embittered tech-wizard son Cam designing weaponry to combat the villains, the three become the Wind Ninja Rangers, elemental masters of earth, air and water.

Shane decides to follow Cam as he leaves to make sure he doesn't get into trouble while Tori and Dustin visit the botanist and are captured. Soon under attack by Calzaks, Shane is stunned to discover that Cam can defend himself very well. Despite this, Sensei expresses his disapproval and explains his concern to his son, adding that he will never let Cam be a Power Ranger because of a promise he made long ago. As Tori and Dustin work to free themselves and Dr. Belrab, they discover a lot more than they expected, with things taking a turn for the worse when their Ninja powers are no match for the malevolent vines that are growing ...

Fall's Fails
Fall is officially upon us here in Florida, as evidenced by the fact that it's a blustery 78 degrees outside tonight. (Don't worry; I've already broken out the scarves, sweaters, furry boots, and electric blanket, just to be safe.)
The other way you can tell it's Fall, though - besides all the Floridians in snowsuits - is the fall-tastical offerings in our nation's bakeries:
It's a...um...leaf.
I think.
Theoretically I KNOW this isn't a Can-Can dancer lifting her skirts, but darned if I can see anything else.
Because nothing says, "MMAAAUUUURGGHHH!!!" like a Hay Beast with peek-a-boo breasticles.
Well, except maybe the Bell-Bottomed Scare Bear of Perpetual Perplexity:
He's Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Stayin' Alive.
Oooh, and if your birthday happens to fall during Fall, then you also have these fun options:
Thanks to this cake and John's alarmingly comprehensive knowledge of slang words, I now know that "nut" is also a verb.
I don't recommend looking it up.
With all due respect to yesterday's cake, this is a way better fire department theme:
My deer, you are on FIRE tonight!
Also, I think I'd have that lump checked out. Just sayin'.
And finally, this bakery helpfully reminds us that Fall is "Harevet Time"
So get those bunnies in for their yearly check-ups ASAP, hear?
Thanks to Kiki, Nancy M., Addie H., Sarah T., Bevin, Tanya S., & Shelley for the nice trips.

There are nine current head coaches with NFL playing experience, including career backups (like Gary Kubiak), serviceable starters (Jim Harbaugh) and a Hall of Famer (Mike Munchak). Looking across the league right now, which current player would make the best coach down the line?
Donte Whitner reminds me of Mike Tomlin, Jeff FisherSan Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner would be a great head coach. Of all the players I've interviewed over the years, Whitner is one of the smartest. He is honest and a straight shooter. He also seems to have a toughness barometer, which I think is vital when coaches are assembling a roster of players they want to coach a certain way.
As a darn good player who gets overlooked on a stacked defense, Whitner has learned to share glory, check his ego and acknowledge those who rightfully deserve credit. I think he would hire a great staff and be a great coach for a long time, should he choose to get into the profession. Whitner, to me, already has a lot of Mike Tomlin and Jeff Fisher in him; he could be a similar type of head coach.
James Harrison could be a terror on the sidelinesMy vote is for James Harrison! Man of few words, like Bill Belichick. Icy stare, like Mike Singletary. Intimidating, like Bill Cowher. All the makings of a great NFL coach, if you ask me.
Oh, and don't forget -- a known hatred for NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Harrison's snide offseason remarks about the commish would give us something good to talk about in June and July.
Drew Brees has the drive to succeed with a headsetA lot of players come to mind. Wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Wes Welker are both students of the game -- that is usually a good indicator that a player can become a quality coach. One could say that Peyton Manning is already a coach, based on how his offenses have run in Denver and Indianapolis.
The player I am going to focus on, though, is Drew Brees. He is not the most gifted player to play QB in the NFL, but he has worked extremely hard -- both on and off the field -- to become a star. He has the qualities you look for in a prospective coach. He is smart, has a strong work ethic, can communicate well and is a leader. What you want to see in a player to make you think he can be a successful coach is someone who has had to work hard and develop his game. Also, Brees has overcome injury adversity. I think this gives him a good perspective on how things don't always come easily.
Jim Leonhard has the perfect makeup for coaching; Matt Ryan has potential, if interestedA good NFL head coach has to know which buttons to push and how to communicate with players, and he has to know one side of the ball well enough that he could step in and call plays in said area.
Jim Leonhard would be a natural. He's a smart football player who's made the most out of his ability. He was a defensive leader while with New York Jets -- but he maintains the small-town attitude that would enable him to be ego-less when dealing with players. He understands the game and can tell guys where to line up defensively, much like a Darren Woodson or Brian Dawkins could -- even though Leonhard is not the same caliber of player as those two were in their day. Bottom line: You don't have to be a star player to be a star coach. Look no further than Jim Harbaugh.
While thinking of Leonhard, a younger player came to mind. Matt Ryan is a guy who's smart, has worked in multiple offenses and became a leader early on for the Atlanta Falcons when that football team needed it. Very seldom does a star quarterback get into coaching. Hall of Famer Norm Van Brocklin is the most notable example. Ironically, he coached the Falcons in the late '60s. Maybe stardom and a long playing career would get in the way of joining the coaching fray for someone like Ryan, but I certainly see the potential.
Forget about the broadcast booth, Philip Rivers -- the sideline is where you belongPhilip Rivers is the son of a football coach, so it seems natural for him to go into coaching when his playing days are over.
A lot of quarterbacks like the broadcast booth after they hang up the cleats, but we need Rivers on the sideline. As somebody who has enjoyed Rivers' battles with Colts fans, Jay Cutler, et al., I would love to see him do something similar as a head coach.
Alex Smith has everything you want in a coachAlex Smith has all the traits you would want of someone who can be groomed to become a head coach -- and it probably wouldn't take that long after his playing days are over. First of all, his background is incredible. He graduated from high school a semester early, then took just two years to earn a degree in economics at Utah -- which means, hey, he'll be good at salary-cap stuff! Smith plays the most important position, and as a result, has the best understanding of every other position on the field. His NFL journey has taken him through numerous offensive systems and head coaches. While this stunted his growth on the field, it's invaluable experience if he wants to make the jump from player to coach.
How about leadership? His teammates have always said glowing things about him. More importantly, they gave off the impression they were rooting for him to succeed, which showcases his likeability. Now he's beginning the next chapter of his career under the tutelage of Andy Reid, one of the most successful head coaches in the game. Not a bad place to round out your NFL player education.

We recently attended the introduction of the 2003 Accord in Hollywood, test driving all the models over the great roads of the Malibu hills. We have seen the future, and it is impressive. Honda might have outdone itself this time.
With more individual sales than any other car for nine out of the last ten years, the Honda Accord is champion of journeyman transportation. But with the new Accord, the champ has not only remade itself, it has re-invented a new self, without un-inventing the old self. There's still an everyday four-cylinder Accord, higher tech and higher quality. But now there's a gorgeous V6 Coupe with a lot more power and a six-speed gearbox, which will blow your notion of Accord off the old road.
The new Honda Accord comes in more than a dozen different combinations of engines, doors, transmissions and trim levels.
The Sedan is available in DX, LX and EX trim. The DX comes with an all-new, double-overhead-cam, 2.4-liter, four-cylinder, 160-horsepower engine (previously a 2.3-liter sohc) and with either a new five-speed manual or new five-speed automatic transmission. LX and EX models come with either the four-cylinder engine or a new 3.0-liter, 240-horsepower, single-overhead-cam V6 with another new five-speed automatic.
The Coupe is available in LX and EX trim, with either the four-cylinder or V6. The manual transmission is standard with the four-cylinder, the automatic optional. The LX V6 comes with its own automatic. The EX Coupe V6, a full-tilt sports sedan, comes with the automatic or a new six-speed manual transmission.
Anti-lock brakes are standard on all models. Upscale options, depending on the model, may include leather power seats, a moonroof, alloy wheels, steering-wheel audio controls, side airbags, side curtain airbags, and a new voice-activated DVD navigation system programmed with some eight million destinations. Say, 'Find nearest Japanese food' to the dashboard, and it will guide you there. Even better, if you know the phone number of a business establishment you're trying to reach, it will take you there.
For the electronically driven, dealers may install an MP3/Windows Media Player, DVD Rear Entertainment System, and hands-free cell phone.
The in-house theme to the new design, an engineering and marketing goal, was 'emotion.' Without losing any of the practicality that has sold millions of Accords, Honda wanted people to buy the new Accord because it moved their spirits as well as their bodies.
Honda stylists attempted to give the Accord the profile of a cheetah. This isn't easy to repeat without raised eyebrows; however its truth may be mostly a measure of what it means to be a mid-size sedan nowadays. And although no one is going to look at the Accord and say, 'Yikes, that looks just like a cheetah!' with a little imagination (and suggestion) you can suspend disbelief.
Although the styling is totally redesigned, the changes are gentle enough that no one will be shocked. The Sedan and Coupe share no sheetmetal whatsoever, although their faces do look alike. They feature a sharpened nose and angular headlamps, reminiscent of an Acura RSX. The corners and sides of both bodies are carefully sculpted with a combination of concave and convex angles, in this attempt to achieve a muscular and agile look, with subtle and unique three-dimensional window glass, also intended to reduce wind noise.
There's been a vast and impressive amount of attention to detail in this redesign, with more new parts than in any of the previous five redesigns. For example, the aerodynamically efficient sideview mirrors are one of the results of the wind tunnel testing.
The drag coefficient is 0.30, a big jump compared to 0.33 in 2002. The length of 189.5 inches is only 0.1 inch longer than the '02 Accord, but the wheelbase has been increased by one inch and width by 1.2 inches. The bottom of the rear bumper has been lowered by one inch, and the sculpted wheelwells have a smaller gap around the tires. The roof has been raised by 0.4 inch, but the car looks lower, thanks in part to a sleeker A pillar. The new roof allows more headroom: 0.4 inch more in the front, 0.8 inch in the rear.
Cheetahs aside, the Coupe is a completely different beast. Its flanks and rear deck are much more shapely, flowing naturally and gracefully from the roofline. Its dimensions are virtually identical to the '02 Coupe, but the high beltline, sweeping door lines, sleek roofline and smooth rear fenders give it striking good looks, especially in red. It yields a very aerodynamic 0.29 drag coefficient (0.32 last year) and makes even the upscale Acura CL look dated (a problem to be solved by a new CL, in the works).
Under the skin, the new unibody is 27 percent stiffer in torsional rigidity, which Honda boasts makes it stiffer than the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 and A6, and even the Mercedes S-Class. The doors are built using a new and unique method, invented for the Accord that makes them lighter and much stronger than before. You can clearly hear the quality in the sound when you close them. And feel it in the extremely light touch to open the trunk.
A new front subframe, with hydroformed elements (a state-of-the-art method to create complex shapes from high-strength steel), is designed to reduce noise and vibration from the engine and front suspension. It's also designed to slide back a few inches under the passenger compartment in a head-on crash, which better dissipates forces.
There's also a sophisticated new engine mounting system, designed not only reduce vibration and tighten handling, but to complement the subframe's crash behavior. Honda engineers are particularly proud of the fact that the 2003 Accord with side airbags is expected to achieve the industry's five-star crash rating in front, rear and side collisions, along with only the more expensive Volvo S60 and Lexus IS300.
The mission was an interior designer's dream. A whole new shell meant a clean sheet of paper for the interior, and designers were encouraged to utilize every known advancement in ergonomics, comfort, convenience and materials.
'I will sell you this car based on the seat alone!' boasted Charlie Baker, the project leader for the new Accord. But which car? The Sedan and Coupe seats are different, with the Coupe's bolstering providing a more secure fit at the torso, and a lower seating position. If our decision were based on the seat alone, we'd buy the Coupe. Especially in leather, much nicer than the velour, which curiously felt smoother in black-and-gray than brown-and-beige. That was probably in our head. But it definitely looked classier in black.
We did not get enough seat time in any of the models we drove to evaluate comfort after long hours in the saddle, which is the true test of a seat, but we can say that even the Sedan seat has a certain one-with-the-car feel.
The Sedan seat, for the masses, has been widened by 1.7 inches and its backrest made taller. The cushion, springs and new urethane padding are all intended to reduce vibration. The vertical travel in the manual LX seat, with lever operation, has been increased by 1.5 inches, a nice touch for women. The steering wheel has been angled more toward the driver and raised almost an inch. It tilts as before, and now telescopes as well, by 1.5 inches.
The space below the steering wheel and instrument panel was enlarged, and the foot room increased. But in the rear, the new front seats seem to have a mixed effect; there's slightly more knee clearance, but overall leg room has been reduced by 1.1 inches to 36.8 inches. That's 1 inch less than the 2002 Toyota Camry, but 0.4 more than the Nissan Altima and 1.5 inches more than the Volkswagen Passat.
Compared to these cars, the Accord Sedan trunk comes up small, with a volume of 14 cubic feet, although the flat floor will make it very easy to load things. The Camry has 17 cubic feet, Altima 16 and Passat 15. Now you can see the cheetah profile, in those numbers. The Coupe looks more like a cheetah. Its trunk holds 13 cubic feet.
The excellent, clear analog instrumentation is also all new, with large faces and LED illumination, another feature previously found only in higher-priced cars. There's dual-zone climate control on some EX models. The switchgear, primarily three big dials located in the center of the dash, is simple, if not particularly attractive. However the faux carbon fiber trim on one of the models we drove looked nice, while the brushed aluminum on other models wasn't bad either.
The simple big switchgear is a result of the successful search for efficient use of space, with the audio, climate and optional navigation systems integrated into a single unit. The freed space leads to exceptional cabin storage, including a good glovebox, big center console, bin under the audio system that will hold 12 CDs, and door pockets deep and wide enough for a purse.
All three sound systems are upgraded, featuring stuff like two-band compression and five-point parametric equalization, which sounds nice, pun intended. The Premium system includes a six-disc in-dash CD changer, having a 180-watt amplifier with four twin-neodymium speakers with polypropylene cone woofers and soft dome tweeters, which sounds even better. But here's the real-world test: We took the V6 Coupe six-speed on a flat-out blast through the Malibu hills, engine revving to redline, windows wide open, CD celebrating Bob Marley, and even with the exterior noise, max volume on the sound system wasn't necessary for the full effect.
The attention to detail shows in every corner: coinholders, cellphone cord hooks, grab handles over every door, console lights, power outlets, sunglass holders, sliding armrests for different-sized arms, convenient and versatile access to the trunk from the rear seat, a remote entry that opens or closes.
In the Malibu hills, we got good seat time in both the V6 and four-cylinder, with manual and automatic transmissions. Engines aside, the V6 Coupe is a totally different car than the four-cylinder Sedan. Let's start at the peak: 5000 rpm in the V6 Coupe with a six-speed gearbox.
A grin grows on your face at five grand, as if the corners of your mouth are connected to the tachometer needle. It's the growl that does it. The six-speed features a special resonator in the intake system, put there just for your listening pleasure. 'It took a lot of fussin' around to make that happen,' said Charlie Baker, revealing the extent to which Honda has gone to achieve that 'emotion' factor. You simply don't expect a Honda Accord to give you this kind of high-performance, sport-driving pleasure, but the 2003 V6 Coupe redefines Accord.
The new V6 is the same ideal 60-degree configuration as the old V6, but it's 20 pounds lighter and 1 inch shorter, and uses electronic elements such as drive-by-wire throttle. Its 240 horsepower is an increase of 40, and its 219 foot-pounds of torque is an increase of 19. It delivers an improved fuel mileage of 21/30 mpg with the automatic transmission, on regular fuel. This compares favorably to the four-cylinder; for 3 less miles per gallon, you get 80 more horsepower. There's no scheduled maintenance for 105,000 miles, and even oil changes are required only every 10,000 miles.
The Nissan Altima, which takes premium fuel for its V6, has been selling like crazy, based largely on its hot acceleration, and Baker says the Accord can just about match it. However, he adds with a smile, if you run premium fuel in your Accord you'll get more horsepower, and he's willing to bet it will be an Altima killer. Another pleasing thing about the new Accord V6 is that its torque range is broad. It feels very different from the V6 in the current Acura Type S, whose powerband is narrower and farther up the rev range.
The smooth six-speed gearbox is especially wonderful. It reveals more attention to detail, in the ratios, the synchronizers. It shifts beautifully, and loves aggressive downshifts that would cause many other gearboxes to cry abuse.
The five-speed automatic transmission is just as smooth as the manual, in its own automatic way. The drive-by-wire throttle is programmed to cut the throttle during upshifts, and the timing is perfect. It's not often that the performance of an automatic transmission is so tight that it stands out.
There are also improved brakes, with ABS standard on all models and EBD (electronic brake distribution) on all but the four-cylinder DX and LX. (ABS helps the driver maintain steering control under hard braking; EBD distributes braking force to the tires with the best grip, improving stopping performance.) The brakes stop the big Coupe nicely, and the pedal feel is firm and sensitive. At first it felt too sensitive, but that's easy to adjust to, and we soon liked it. However, we managed to make the brakes fade while using them hard, earlier than we think they should have, given the level of the rest of the car. We ran a twisty uphill five or six miles, repeatedly dabbing the brakes for corners, but because we were in second and third gear most of the way, the speeds weren't high and there were no extended applications of the brakes. We turned around at the top and began to come back down, and almost immediately felt the fade. (Fade occurs when brakes get hot and results in diminished or faded braking performance.)
Not surprisingly, the handling is well balanced, too. In our opinion, it's a better-balanced car than the Acura CL Type-S. We tried to get the Coupe to understeer, and it wasn't easy, which is more than you can say for the CL-S. (Understeer is when the front tires begin to lose grip, causing the car to take a wider path around a corner than intended.) The double-wishbone suspension, front and rear, has been re-engineered mostly to reduce fore and aft body mo.
There are at least two separate Honda Accords, each offering new levels of quality and performance for mid-sized, medium-priced cars. The V6 can be a sports sedan or coupe that looks and performs as well or better than the current upscale Acura TL or CL.
The four-cylinder loses none of what has made the Accord the best-selling car of the last decade, while redefining what it means to be a four-cylinder sedan. Honda may just have outdone itself this time.

Holiday Gift Guide: Hasbro Action Figures
Tuesday, November 16, 2010
My kids seem to get older as each day passes, not that I'm complaining. My son still likes toys, but he only collects them now. He's a HUGE fan of Transformers and Wrestling Action Figures, but he doesn't play anymore - he only plays music on the computer and with the webcam. Hey, he's a teen - there's not much more that I can expect from him, is there?
But I knew when I saw a review opportunity from Hasbro for some of their Action Figures, that my son would enjoy them and hold on to them - and take care of them. I know my nephew would like them also, but he's too far away for him to receive these.
Transformers Power Core Value Pack
These action figures come in various combinations, from $9.99 up to $19.99. We moms know that this price is affordable, even when you're on a budget!
My son's always liked Transformers and I remember the original cartoon when I was a kid. With the return of Transformers to the big screen, a whole new generation is being exposed to this epic tale of good vs. evil. Now the boys can act it out in their own homes or with their friends!
Recommended for ages 5 and up.
We also received the above Spider Man 3.75" Action Figure to review. Another family favorite of ours, this guy has Wall Sticking Web! How cool is that?!
These figures come in various varieties like Green Goblin as well as various types Spider Man. Retails for $7.99, another great low price!
Recommended for ages 4 and up.
