2013 Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima is all-new for 2013. With a combination of innovative mechanical components, carefully tuned ride and handling, advanced cockpit connectivity features and sleekly contemporary styling that belies its price class, the fifth-generation 2013 Altima feels like it's a class above its mid-size segment while providing comfortable, efficient family transport.
Most 2013 Altima models will come with a 182-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder, but a a vigorous, upscale 270-hp 3.5-liter V6 is available. The thrifty four-cylinder engine is newly redesigned and, combined with a vastly improved Nissan CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), the result of 20 years of refinement, this drivetrain results in a segment-leading 38 mpg EPA Highway rating. That's better than Ford Fusion Hybrid, Chevrolet Malibu ECO, Hyundai Hybrid or any other competing mid-size sedan.
We found the Altima 3.5 with the V6 engine a brilliant performer, but the Altima 2.5 with the four-cylinder engine delivered just average performance.
Inside, the top-of-the-line Altima SL trim was very luxurious, and the SV trim with cloth upholstery was also very nice. All of them are very quiet underway.
Combine headline-making fuel efficiency with a variety of features and creature comforts not generally found in non-luxury mid-size sedans, and the 2013 Altima, already shouldering its way into Nissan Maxima territory, makes a stylish, affordable and tempting choice for families working their way up the scale.
Nissan Altima competes with Volkswagen Passat, Honda Accord, Mazda 6, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima, Chevrolet Malibu and Ford Fusion.
Model Lineup
2013 Nissan Altima 2.5 models are powered by the 184-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder, while Altima 3.5 models feature the 270-hp 3.5-liter V6. Both come with a continuously variable transmission.
Altima 2.5 ($21,500) comes standard with cloth upholstery, 6-way manual driver's seat, AM/FM/CD with 4 speakers, Bluetooth hands-free phone. Bluetooth Streaming Audio, speedometer, tachometer, coolant gauge, fuel level gauge w/ fuel door location, Nissan Advanced Drive-Assist display, power windows, power locks, dual remote power sideview mirrors, remote keyless entry, steering wheel cruise control, center console w/ armrest and power outlet, 4 cup holders, 4 bottle holders, 16-inch steel wheels, 215/60R16 tires, halogen headlights. Altima 2.5 S ($22,500) upgrades with 6-way power driver's seat, AM/FM/CD w/ 6 speakers.
Altima 2.5 SV ($24,100) adds leather-wrapped steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels, 215/55R17 tires, speed-sensitive audio volume control, USB port with iPod, satellite radio, Pandora, Google POI Search, Hands-Free text messaging, rearview monitor, dual-zone climate control, rear heating/cooling vents, remote engine start. An optional Convenience Package for 2.5 SV ($1350) includes power moonroof, fog lights, sideview mirrors with integrated turn signals, manual folding sideview mirrors, illuminated vanity mirrors, front passenger window with one-touch auto up/down, auto-dimming rearview mirror, Homelink Universal Transceiver, compass, mood lamp, side cargo net. The SV Navigation Package ($590) includes the 7-inch color screen, turn-by-turn navigation integration into Nissan Advanced Drive-Assist display, steering wheel navigation system controls.
Altima 2.5 SL ($28,050) upgrades with leather seating, heated front seats. 8-way power driver's seat w/ power lumbar, 2-way adjustable head restraints, Bose 9-speaker AM/FM/CD/Aux, compass, folding power sideview mirrors, Homelink Universal Transceiver, power moonroof, wood-tone trim, metallic texture trim, LED front map lights, mood lamp, side cargo net, fog lights, outside mirror LED turn signals, LED taillights and CHMSL. An optional SL Technology Package ($1090) features Nissan Navigation system with 7-inch color screen, turn-by-turn navigation integrated into Nissan Advanced Drive-Assist Display, steering wheel navigation system controls, Blind Spot Warning, Moving Obstacle Detection, Lane Departure Warning.
The V6-powered Altima 3.5 S ($25,360), 3.5 SV ($27,780), and 3.5 SL ($30,080) are equipped the same as the respective 2.5 models and offer the same option packages.
Safety features on all Altima models includes ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, all federally mandated airbags, seatbelt pretensioners, child seat anchors, LATCH child-seat system, power window lockout, child safety rear door locks, emergency inside trunk release, Vehicle Dynamics Control, Traction Control, tire-pressure monitor, Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The 2013 Nissan Altima has a sleek, dynamic, cutting-edge stylishness that is decidedly imposing. The new Altima is in some way a class above its competitors. For instance, the 2013 Altima has the same wheelbase as the previous-generation model, but both its front and rear track are 1.4 in. wider, and its fenders are deeper. This gives it a muscular, sporting stance that sets it apart from some of the others.
The car features a blacked-out grille with a chrome surround, very a la mode, and a zoomie, striking headlight cluster. A short hood blends with a steeply canted windshield in what was once called cab forward styling. A pronounced character line runs high along the side of the cab towards the rear, but the Nissan stylists have avoided using multiple character lines and cluttering Altima's look, as some others do. The profile is clean and elegant. Chrome trim around the windows and bright, dressy 10-spoke wheels give the Altima a near-luxury glamour.
At the rear, a bold chrome bar, almost startling in its impact, rides above the ending of the side character lines at the bottom of the trunk. The trunk lid reveals a conveniently low lift-over height of only 26.9 inches, and there are dual chrome tailpipes, de rigeur these days, no matter what the engine.
Side mirrors with redundant turn-signal lights are a nice safety provision.
Overall, the Altima looks stylish, aggressive and sporting. In the upper level of trim packages, it looks more expensive than it is. Nicely done.
Interior Features
The 2013 Altima lineup offers a broad range of interior furnishing levels. The SL trim is positively elegant and richly equipped. In the SV, the interior is a step down from the top-end SL but still highly satisfactory.
The 2.5 SV we used for our test drive had fawn cloth upholstery. The white-on-black gauges were handsome, immediately legible, and were surrounded by excellent soft-touch dashboard padding. The tachometer displayed a 6600-rpm redline for the 2.5. We missed the paddle shifters, available only on the 3.5 models. But in the 2.5, intelligent circuitry and the CVT continuously variable transmission regulate engine speed automatically. The power driver's seat had 6-way adjustability, and a nice leather-wrapped steering wheel presented the usual audio and cruise controls, plus controls for the navigation system. The Navigation system in our SV delivered good information via simple, effective graphics. A one-touch open/close moonroof with a manual sunscreen was included as part of the SV Convenience Package.
One point particularly worth mentioning about the Altima is its quietness. Considerable effort was made to rigidify the body structure and soundproof its panels. This contributes strongly to the car's class above impression, quietness being one sure hallmark of luxury cars. But the materials that silence cars also add weight. Nissan was nonetheless able to reduce the 2013 Altima's weight from that of the previous model by 79 pounds, no mean achievement.
Nissan's Zero-Gravity seats are designed to provide uniform support from pelvis to chest. The benefits of these seats are said to be felt on long motor trips. They seemed comfortable enough to us, but we didn't take a long enough trip to notice anything exciting.
More exciting is the new Altima's electronic connectivity packages. All models are furnished with Bluetooth hands-free phone systems and streaming audio. Also available is hands-free messaging assistant, Pandora integration, USB connection for iPod interface and satellite radio. The advantages of managing text messaging hands free are so enormous, we can't begin to say enough about them. You can reply with pre-set texts like "driving, can't text," "on my way," or a custom message. Invaluable.
And there's more. Advanced Drive-Assist Display, standard on every model, is located between the speedo and tachometer, a four-inch color display that is much easier for the driver to use than the console-mounted navigation monitor. It delivers mpg, audio information, trip computer, tire-pressure information, and importantly, turn-by-turn navigation.
Perhaps the most likable of the Altima's provisions is a fully automatic tire-pressure monitor that tells you exactly which tire is low, by how much it is low, then tells you when you are beginning to refill it, and gives you a little toot of the horn when you've reached the proper inflation! Goodbye tire gauge.
All in all, regardless of the trim level you choose, the 2013 Altima interior feels like anything but a skimpy car. And the higher trim models are positively lavish.
Driving Impressions
The 3.5-liter V6 Altima, with its 270 horsepower and sporty paddle shifters, can accelerate from zero to 60 mph, Nissan says, in 6.2 seconds. That's very quick for the class in our book and Nissan proudly notes it's fastest in class.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, with 182 hard-pressed horsepower, is considerably slower. Nissan says the Altima 2.5 can perform 0-60 in just 7.14 seconds. We're skeptical. AutoWeek reported this feat took 8.0 seconds, and we think that's closer to reality. Of course, achieving 38 mpg, one necessarily must accept a bit of huffing and puffing, and with the 2.5, we got it. As the song says, it works hard for the money.
On the other hand, if you don't mind a bit of yowling from underneath the hood, or better yet, if you're not in a breathless hurry, as many hundreds of thousands of Altima drivers before you have not been, the 2.5 will be satisfactory. Not vigorous. Satisfactory.
And startlingly efficient. The secret of the Altima four-cylinder's thrift is a quantum leap in efficiency and reduced internal friction in its very unusual CVT continuously variable transmission. Nissan has fought long and hard to develop this transmission, and for a number of years, it delivered woozy forward progress that made you feel like you were being dragged behind a huge rubber band. But the potential of the CVT was always there, chiefly that when an engine reached its cruising speed, the transmission could drop the engine down to an extremely low engine speed and deliver stunning fuel mileage. The 2013 Altima is there. At 70 mph, with the help of its CVT, we saw the Altima's engine speed maintain an ultra-low 1650 rpm, barely a pulse, barely sipping gasoline. While the competition is loading up its invoices with the expense and complexities of hybrids, Nissan sneaked under the wire and beat them all.
In keeping with its upscale aspirations, the Altima's ride and highway behavior are suitably quiet and refined. All models of the new Altima have Active Understeer Control, a system which applies small amounts of braking to the inside front wheel to overcome the Altima's tendency to resist vigorous turning into a corner. Cornering poise is further aided by stabilizer bars front and rear and new ZF Sachs shock absorbers that provide sturdy body control. We weren't in driving circumstances where this hardware could be fully tested, though in forceful driving on normal roads, the car's turn-in and stability were good.
Similarly, the new Altima rear suspension is a fully redesigned multi-link system with firm bushings, providing solid lateral response. Overall, the Altima is a family sedan with little sporting character. It is assuredly a safe over-the-road package, but it lacks the agility and fun-to-drive spirit of a true sports sedan. But the active presence of understeer control, vehicle dynamic control (VDC) and traction control, each fully automatic and self-activating, combine to give this car the full degree of modern safety and security.
The four-wheel disc brakes, too, are equipped with ABS and electronic brake distribution, delivering minute degrees of braking control in slippery conditions that even the most skilled driver would be hard pressed to match. And when the rains come and the Altima's wipers are switched on, the headlights come on automatically, complying with laws in effect in many states.
The 2013 Nissan Altima is a social climber in all the right ways, more comfortable, attractive and better-equipped than its price suggests. It is also an extremely frugal fuel user, while still providing full five-seat family accommodation. We found the standard four-cylinder engine sluggish and the sedan offered only average dynamics and feedback on the road.
Ted West filed this report after his test drive of the Nissan Altima near Nashville, Tennessee.

Check Your Cat's Vital Signs at Home
Published on February 29, 2012
The mysterious ways of cats are one of the reasons we like them so much: They intrigue us, and when they give us their love, it's as if we're getting a gift from royalty. But feline mysteries aren't quite so appealing when it comes to health.
Cats are good at hiding signs of illness, although if you're an observant cat owner, you can often see through their act. An important part of being observant is knowing what to look for — in other words, having a handle on what's normal so you can determine what's not. And yet, I bet not one cat lover in a thousand can pass a pop quiz on what the normal vital signs are in a cat.
Can you? Do you know how to take your cat's temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate? Do you know how to assess what's normal for each of those things? Don't worry if the answer is no; the good news is it's pretty easy to learn. Here's what you need to know.
Take your cat's temperature. If you choose to buy a thermometer that reads your pet's temperature by merely sticking the probe inside her ear, you'll have it easy. But it's not that hard to take a cat's temperature the old-fashioned way, with a traditional glass thermometer. Or spend just a little bit more for a digital rectal thermometer, which is easy to read and beeps when it's ready to remove. If you're going rectal, lubricate the thermometer with water-based medical lubricant. Gently and slowly insert the device about one or two inches into your cat's rectum, but don't force it. Leave the thermometer in place for two minutes (or until it beeps, if it's digital), and then check and record the temperature. In a normal, healthy cat, the thermometer should read between 100 and 102.5 degrees Farenheit. Call your veterinarian if it's below 99 or above 103, or if you see evidence of blood, diarrhea or a black, tarry stool on the thermometer.
Take your cat's heart rate. You'll need a watch with a second hand, a stopwatch or … your smartphone! Feel your cat's heartbeat with one hand over his left side, just behind his front leg. Count the number of beats in 15 seconds and multiply by four to get the heart rate in beats per minute (bpm). A normal cat's heart rate is between 140 and 220 bpm, with a relaxed cat measuring on the low end. Call your veterinarian if the heart rate is too rapid, too slow or irregular.
Take your cat's respiratory rate. Watch your cat breathe when he is relaxed and standing; focus on the movement of the abdomen and chest wall. Count the number of movements in 60 seconds. (The breathing rate is too slow to count to 15 and multiply by four — take a full 60 seconds to get a better reading.) A normal cat takes between 20 to 30 breaths per minute, with a relaxed cat measuring on the lower end of the scale. Call your veterinarian if the rate is too rapid, or if your cat is panting – the latter's not really normal in cats, at least not the way we see it in dogs.
See, wasn't that easy?
The time to learn how to take your cat's heart rate, respiratory rate and temperature is before you are faced with a sick cat. Practice at home when you and your cat are relaxed so you know what to do when you have a concern. And remember: If you're having difficulty learning how to check vital signs on your own, ask your veterinarian to show you how the next time you take your cat in for a wellness exam. Because pet lovers and veterinarians are always partners when it comes to keeping pets healthy!

Prominent Florida attorney John Morgan's advertising theme for his law firm, Morgan & Morgan, is "For the people." Now he's added a little twist. He's produced a commercial that is "For the people who are for Tim Tebow."
In an attempt to put pressure on the Jacksonville Jaguars to sign free-agent quarterback/UF legend Tim Tebow, Morgan has recorded a video that he hopes will convince team owner Shad Khan to reach out to Tebow.
The video has only appeared on YouTube so far, receiving nearly 10,000 hits in its first day (Wednesday). In the video, Morgan praises Tebow for being a winner and urges Khan to make the right call "for the people" and sign Tebow.
"The Jaguars are 27-42 in the last 5 years. One of the worst records in NFL history and more in store for this year. We can't even fill an entire end zone," said Morgan in the video. "Tebow is one of us, he has class character and he's a winner. Let's win Mr. Khan. Once upon a time, so called experts probably doubted your potential and now look at you. Give our guy a shot. I'll even buy that box you tried to sell me," said Morgan. "Remember this, you can't tivo Tebow. Let's do this Mr. Khan, for the people. Let's win."
Khan and the Jags have already expressed that they have no interest in signing Tebow. It's not going to happen, but Morgan's commercial is the latest attempt to sway public (Tebow) opinion and try and keep the pressure on the NFL team to consider hooking up with the hometown hero.

What's the best way to set up a consultation or an appointment with a massage therapist during the COVID-19 pandemic?
Ask your massage therapist if they offer consultations over a video chat or phone call. If they do, ask them any questions you have about the upcoming appointment. For example, ask what precautions they're taking to keep both parties safe due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You might also want to ask if they offer gift cards that can be used at a later time, remote services or even virtual lessons for you or members in your household.
Also, ask how they plan to handle payments, and whether you can pay through an online or digital method instead of with physical cash or credit cards.
Are there ways to be safe if I hire a massage therapist when social distancing?
Because massage therapy requires person-to-person contact, social distancing is not possible. However, you can ask massage therapists near you if they can offer remote services instead, such as lessons for you and your partner.
If you don't want to book an appointment with a massage therapist right now, but you will in the future when the pandemic subsides, consider paying your massage therapist in advance or tipping them anyway. You can also ask about buying a gift card for future work.
Can I use digital payments to pay for a massage?
Many massage therapists accept digital payments through Venmo, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash, Zelle and other online platforms. Even businesses that do not typically accept digital payments may be changing their methods to practice social distancing. Just check with your massage therapist before the appointment to see how they handle payments.
Do massage therapists offer remote or virtual services?
Ask massage therapists near you about the possibility of remote services. You might come across profiles that state the therapist is offering remote services such as lessons and techniques you can do on your own, with a friend or with a partner.
Does a massage therapist need to enter my home?
Many massage therapists operate their businesses out of their own homes, though some offer mobile massages and come to your home. You should ask the massage therapist where they typically operate and if they are making any special accommodations to better observe the CDC's guidelines for social distancing.
If you must cancel or delay your massage therapy appointment due to COVID-19, consider asking the therapist if they can offer massage techniques or lessons via video chat, email or some other digital format. You can also ask if it's possible to buy gift cards that can be used at a later time.
How can I find out if a massage therapist is considered an essential COVID-19 service provider?
The definition of an essential COVID-19 service provider varies from state to state and city to city. To see which businesses are considered essential in your area, visit the official government website of your state or city.
You can also read CISA's publication on identifying critical workers to find out more information on a national level. However, not all jurisdictions follow CISA's definitions of critical infrastructure.
Do deep tissue massages work?
Deep tissue massage not only feels fabulous, it can provide results. The massage technique targets deeper layers of muscle and your connective tissue. For its ability to stimulate those deeper muscles, deep tissue massage is commonly used during recuperation from sports-related and other injuries, according to the Mayo Clinic. Deep tissue massage has been proved to reduce high blood pressure and a range of other ailments. Deep tissue and other types of massage are frequently used for relieving stress, managing pain, breaking down scar tissue, relieving muscle tension and improving health. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health cites the following as health conditions for which that deep tissue massage can provide relief:
- Chronic low back pain, chronic neck pain, and osteoarthritis of the knee
- Labor pains
- Depression and anxiety
- Fibromyalgia pain and fatigue
- Headaches
The proper deep tissue massage may also benefit preterm infant health. Cancer patients may experience reduced pain, increased relaxation, and improved mood.
What is a traditional Thai massage?
Traditional Thai massage is a different experience if you've only ever had a Swedish or deep tissue massage. In Thai massage, you wear loose-fitting clothing (often provided by the massage therapist) and start by lying on a mat. Throughout the massage, the therapist moves your body into various seated and prone positions, which stretch and release your muscles and soft tissue. Although your body is moving, the therapist is doing all the work, making it feel similar to supported yoga. The massage therapist will bend, stretch, and compress and lengthen your body using their hands, forearms, elbows and even feet. Don't be alarmed by the feet! Many studios have overhead supports that allow the practitioners to safely walk on your back, releasing tight adhesions and promoting ease. Thai massage can be both invigorating and relaxing. It is an excellent option for keeping your muscles in good health if you regularly work out, or if you want to overcome a lack of flexibility. Studies show that Thai massage can increase blood circulation, improve flexibility, reduce muscle tension and enhance mental well-being.
What are the different Swedish massage techniques?
There are five main techniques in Swedish massage: effleurage, friction, petrissage, tapotement and vibration. Within each category there are various movements, all intended to ease muscle tension and pain. Each movement has a specific purpose for loosening, warming, soothing or stimulating your muscles during your massage. Here is a breakdown of each of the five Swedish massage techniques:
- Effleurage: Sweeping, gliding, smooth long strokes done with the hands or forearms. These strokes can loosen and warm the body and are said to help stimulate blood flow.
- Friction: These circular or transverse rubbing strokes are also warming and can get deeper into the muscle tissue. They should be avoided on injured or inflamed areas or areas.
- Petrissage: Lifting, kneading, skin rolling, muscle rolling and wringing. These movements help with circulation, which stimulates cell regeneration, and aid in loosening tense muscles.
- Tapotement: Tapping, plucking, cupping and pounding. Tapotement movements can help improve blood circulation and cell rejuvenation, and also relax and release tight muscles.
- Vibration: Rocking, shaking and trembling movements. These motions can help muscles release.
How much are pregnancy massages?
Prenatal massages can be a safe and therapeutic way to alleviate the aches and pains of pregnancy. A prenatal massage can promote a sense of relaxation and well-being for expectant mothers. The national average cost for a pregnancy massage ranges between $70 and $90. The cost of a pregnancy massage will vary depending on where you live, the length of the massage, and the massage therapist. Typically, the longer a massage, the higher the cost. Some massage therapists charge the same rate per minute, regardless of massage length, while others charge less per minute for longer appointments. Here are two examples of average prenatal massage costs:
- Therapist A: Offers a 30-minute massage for $45, 45 minutes for $60, 60 minutes for $75, 75 minutes for $90 and 90 minutes for $105.
- Therapist B: offers a 30-minute massage for $45, a 60-minute massage for $85, a 90-minute massage for $115 and a 120-minute massage for $145.

Let's hear it for him.
Secondly, now that my life has been changed, I think I'll leave all my troubles behind and just fuck off for awhile and check out some farms:
Systematically and mercilessly disassembling, flushing, greasing, and re-packing the cycling culture.
Ding Ding Ding
Praxis Recumbabe!
Top ten again!
aaaaa is right.
Oooh!! Top Ten again today?
I'm included!
flat tyre
"MINI For $548, a bike built by Dahon"
What the heck is that thing doing mixed in with the likes of Porsche and Lamborgini? Wow I can probably find that much scratch in my couch cushions.
Which reminds me isn't about time for you to do some kind of foldie review or something about your Brompton or funny triangle bike or whatever it was you shlep on the train with?
recumbent conspiracy theorist,
No plans to review the folding bike (not a Brompton). It rides fine, it folds quick. That's all there is to say about it.
--Wildcat Rock Machine
WTG RCT! Of course recumbents would win every race if they were allowed...
That's not Contador; no fingerbang!
The safety bike has he handle bar tape done up all wrong also!
I thrill to the fact that everyday I grow older, recumbabe gets hotter
Hey there was a cool article linked on the sidebar of that NYT magazine about the kickstand.
"the world's first blueprint for a kickstand, drawn by a Frenchman named Alfred Berruyer in 1869."
There was no convenient place to mount the kickstand on those early pre safety bike contraptions so old Berrerereuyer just mounted it on the handlebar. It must have been two feet long. Man Wildcat if you put one of those on your bike it would make your stem look absolutely stubby.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that Sydney and Havely, of Bike Farm Tour fame, have really really harry vagina's.
Snobby in the front group!
Who knew that Recumbabe was the answer to our bottom bracket woes.
Sydney and Havely are going to have to run a lot faster if they want chicken for dinner. But thank Lob they're going to document sustainable farming practices in their 'zines so that valuable knowledge isn't lost to all, um, humankind.
oonyers 74
Tell me that's stopped you before, McFly.
Good morning! And thank you. :)
Naaaaaaa. Slowed me down maybe. I know how to forage.
At 1:21 of that first video, there's a couple of people in the background walking toward the 'singer-songwriter'.
I was kind of hoping they were ruffians who would grab his guitar and smash it over his head.
I was disappointed.
Recumbabe is the answer to ALL our woes.
I just couldn't make it all the way through Lawrence Arabia. He needs to change up his cycling routes so the towns won't be so boring...like his personality. Where's Bluto Blutarsky when you need him?
Sydney and Havely. NO! Getta job awwreddy!!! Snob, you might cross paths with them on your epic bike tour to the upper reaches of CaNAHduh and Chemin-les-back-bacon. That could be an epic meeting in itself!
The Contador photo: what exactly do those things where his man-boobs are located symbolize?
RCT, BamaPhred, and Anon 11:31am: Congrats and Stuffed Lions to you three!
Sydney and Havely: one more time: PAY FOR YOUR OWN FUCKING VACATION! I like how they're doing it in September, which means they have to skip all of their classes since they're doing this for their Freshman Thesis-thing.
Kneeling in Engreetment before (ZOD), who has safely made his way into the earth's atmosphere without dropping the chain on his Space Galaxy Cycle, which can be a real bad hassle.
And actually, those girls could set an example of living off local free-range antibiotic-free organic food by eating the roadkill they find along the way.
This guy has done it for years. Fox is tasty, badger and hedgehog not much good.
mmm dialogue.
Dear Grant Petersen, as the other reader of this blog, I can confirm that neither one of us cares about bike tech. Please do Snob a favour and send him one of those old-timey square taper bottom brackets and allow him to move on with his life.
"Specs include a full-carbon frame weighing just over 16 pounds"
BMW has a pretty heavy frame going for being made of fibrous carbon...
Oh man. Oh man. Oh man! If folks will pay 32K for a bike, I am going into business. Anyone want to join my Kickstarter of selling helium for tire fills to those folks?
Prime opportunity to have used "vaginae", McFly, and you blew it. Don't let it happen again.
Gatis Smukulis comfortably in 118th place in the Ter Di Flance! Go Latvia!
No, I don't think his name is funny or silly, I just like the mouth-feel when saying it out loud. Name-Crushes are like that.
Plus, I like Latvia.
How about a song, then? "I gave my love a cherry...WHAM-CRASH-CRASH-CRASH!"
Sorry, Lawrence...
Fuck New York City and the idiots who continue to ruin it, I would rather go riding at the beach with
I thought that the headline "High-Performance Machines With Zero Horsepower" was referring to the fact that the freds that buy those overpriced pieces of shit crabon fibre are generally desk jockeys who are incapable of generating even the tiniest bit of power. Instead, we learn that they are car and watch people who are interested in buying overpriced gimcracks.

farmeen? is that still around?
How about Praxis sending almost every consumer that bought the old version a NEW PF30 adapter?
Snobby you are missing a blogTASTIC opportunity reviewing folding bicycling cycles for vertical compliance. James Huang will be quaking in his rigid yet supple boots.
Imagine the click-through revenue on a review a of a bike with 16" wheels and disc brakes. Posers everywhere will abandon their Rittes! And snobby will be the media king of clown bikes.
I see a kickstarter campaign for clownbike review site.
Farmeeners. Noble savages of the industrial world.
Way to go RCT! Nice podio snag! KISSES!
Youse guys are missing da' point of lifestyle bikes.
Someone can sell Hong Fu's with ridiculous markup to fools with more money than brains. Seems like a win-win.
I'll send my minions out to patent that.
Farmeen? Shits all about the permaculture these days, broheim. Might as well drink pesticides and genetically modify your balls before subjecting yourself to the poisons of farmings.
I think the organic/hippy dippy thing is the only place where PNW is ahead of the NYC curve.
When are you going to get back to the making fun of bikes with humor?
1965 American national road cycling champion and two-time Olympian, Victor Vincente of America was/is a big proponent of roadkill as a meal. No kidding. Nice guy.
I recall roadkill jerky as prizes in early mountain bike races in Southern California. By early, I mean a decade before the first Yeti out of southern california.
Is it wednesday yet?
Rabbi Efraim Zalmanovich, a prominent orthodox rabbi from the Israeli town of Mazkeret Batya, has issued a religious ruling declaring medical marijuana to be perfectly kosher. The ruling says that if a religious Jew is prescribed marijuana to treat symptoms of a disease or to limit the amount of pain being suffered then smoking medical marijuana takes on the stature of a religious commandment.

CJ asked: "When are you going to get back to the making fun of bikes with humor?"
CJ, when are you going to quit reading this blog and posting comments? You apparently don't like it very much. Plus you aren't funny and your schtick is getting really old. I am sure that you'd find a much more welcoming audience for your trolling and Jew baiting over at whitepower.com.

So Snob, what do you do with all those now useless BB threads you have to "press fit" through to put your plastic bits into the big hole? Chafing the cheese off your dialogue is no fun. And speaking of douchebags, I've stopped chaffing my dialogue every time I tuck it in the hole of my scranus-saving saddle. You should buy one for your car too. http://tinyurl.com/n7uubjo
Wow, that Lawrence Arabia video had 19 views! I think you must have at least doubled that number through your blog link.
CJ, here is the point which escapes you:
Just because some Rabbi somewhere says something does not make it so. Just because a headline deems him "prominent" does not make him any sort of Talmudic scholar qualified to make pronouncements binding on an entire religion.
However, such subtleties escape you, and this is what makes you an anti-Semite, presenting things as if fact about which you have no knowledge whatsoever. As our great President Abraham Lincoln famously said: "Don't believe everything you read on the internet."
When you are prepared to knowledgeably discuss the Sanhedrin and the Cohen Gadol, perhaps you can begin to advance pronouncements on Halachic law.
Until then, STFU, asshole.
Me, I'm saving my play dough for the Cro-Mo Rivendell lugged coupe. Steering wheel at eye level and room for fenders.
Oh, and I'm a sundial person.
i would think the two girls from the farm video might be a good fit for that fellow playing the bikeen song if he's looking for groupies.
of course, he's probably seen them before...
Happy Dez Cadena Day.
I know I'm just an old out of touch roadie, but I still can't fathom "crowd sourcing/kickstarter". WHY would I want to pay for their vacation?
I'm wondering if they plan on doing their long distance touring in those "Daisy Dukes". Just might find a few farmers willing to show them the hayloft.
I literally own a skinsuit.
Just think about it: it's the perfect 'merican way of doing things. You get to "experience" a trip without having to leave the couch. You get to supplement the entitled generation without too much cost. And, it allows us to "fix" a problem just by throwing money at it and acting superior, without having to really DO anything.
Win/win really.
aha... i always knew you had SOME skills in photography... yet you always claimed how badly you suck. we now know that you can control your focal length... on your camera, not on your "dialogue"
your 'dialogue' still sucks.
the douches in network security at my work block bsnyc because it's tagged adult content. now I have to use my phone. douchebags.
I think Snob's comment about the folder qualifies as a review. Short and to the point. Nice job.
In that perfect bike position, I can't decide which I'd do more often -- hit my knees on the bar or catch my foot on the front wheel and knock myself over. I'd look like a living GIF.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the ladies in daisy dukes are going to be 'farmeen' each other's 'gardens' sustainably while on their trip.

Lastly, they will hear Dana's final words ringing in their ears, "LIVE LIFE without REGRETS"; just take a leap of faith. One thing for sure, she is not selling wolf tickets nor the American dream but teaching and showing people in a practical manner how to LIVE their predestined life. As Dana says, a person living a predestined life never gives up on "HOPE" no matter the circumstances of life. The event will be held at the BWI Marriott airport.

Sounds like the aforementioned Dana Michelle Woods is going to give a seminar in how to get other people to pay for your vacation via kickstarter.
Beat the rain today -- rode along on my custom crabon, which weighs little and rides wonderfully, wondering if I'm actually a Fred. Of course, I decided I'm not, since I've been riding for 45 years and know full well that the BSNYC Power Meter is dead-accurate in my case.
And the Farm Girls are likely to find artisanal meth labs and organic weed growing operations. That was a sad looking example of gardening in the video. Someone needs to get in touch with some basic hand tools, motivation, and elbow grease.
Best of luck with all that. You go girls.
Isn't Taustine a scranus lotion?
I can't believe that Fritz's link to Wilma didn't evoke a response from anyone. At least anyone with a 'dialogue'. Although I think that Appel Mahmud was thinking about it but didn't want to appear impure.
Mikeweb, I was dallying on my lunch break, but I was all set to rave about Wilma - I take her over recumbabe any day. What's not to like - beach, bikini, long hair, tats, big smile, dorky new-age penny farthing.
And isn't 3:20pm a bit early for the spammers to be coming out?
Glad to see some Wilma Fans
Try playing both videos at the same time. Awe inspiring!
Gary, Gary, Gary.
Oh, Gary.
As our great President Abraham Lincoln famously said: "Don't believe everything you read on the internet."
Wasn't that John F. Kennedy?
please don't forget that David Byrne is still out there somewhere
"And what the hell does a racecar have in common with a racing bike apart from absolutely nothing whatsoever?" Not true as they are both operated by OCD neurotics with money to burn and going nowhere fast.
DOOD! Whatever happened to the best commentor evar?
Jolene, Jolene... Jolene. Jolene?
Obligatory: NICE TITS
I also miss that russian guy...
Are you really that thick? Medical Marijuana is kosher link is anti-semitic??? REALLY?
Yes, asswipe, passing along such a link constitutes an implicit endorsement by you on a subject upon which you know NOTHING.
What on G-d's green earth is such a link provided on a snarky BIKING blog? It is not even remotely topical with anything else being discussed.
In the tradition of Recumbabe, Wilma = Hottyfarthing
For that sniffling & sneezing, try new

wishiwasmerckx - As to why CJ posted his stupid link, I am sure that you already know the answer. It's all part of CJ's tired old Jew baiting schtick. The guy is a total fucking asshole who apparently has absolutely zero impulse control. I wish he would take some of his lack of impulse control and, just for the fun of it, see how hard he can hit himself in the face with a hammer.

Do you even read this blog?!?!
Hasidim and Yiddish make regular appearances for comedic effect. One of the reasons I like this blog over other blogs that suck more, besides making fun of road bikers all the time, is the frequent Hasid jokes. It gives me the chance to say HASIDIM BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE 'EM, and people know what I'm talking about.
I like that joke because it rhymes.
Secondly, wednesday weed.
Is your brain broken? Orthodox rabbi with a funny name, proclaims the sticky icky is kosher, and you don't see how this relates to BSNYC?!?!?!?
For the umpteenth time, CJ, just get your own blog and do your tired shtick over there. Except there will be nobody reading you, so you come to wind us up over here...
It's not just the Jewish stuff, there is a whole lot of nasty misogyny (I know, it's a tautology) in the stuff you spew out.
CJ, eloquence escapes me, so just go fuck yourself.
Does the irony of someone who calls himself "ChamoisJuice" making fun of somebody else's name escape you entirely?
If you can't understand how making fun of a Rabbi's name is antisemitic, then you are as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Maybe you can tell us some jokes about how big Laquesha,s butt is, because, hey, that's not racist because it's funny, and besides, you once met a few black people.
SPF30 are the future to the bracket bottoms.
My badae. Yeah I bet the farm girls sleep head to toe. Or face to vag.
Mikeweb... You got 1:21 into that first video? Dang. One minute more than I did. It got really good at the end, and I missed out, right?
No, no, don't tell me...
cj, if you can't believe this, you're dumber than cotton: it's anti-Semitic if a Jewish person says it is. Period. Capiche? Don't make me smack you.
ChamoisDiarrhea has got you where he wants you. if we all ignore him, either he'll go away, or else he just remains the nuisance that he is... period.
What I learned yesterday: turkey buzzards preparing to picnic on road kill are a tough crowd. My dog introduced himself saying "Hello, I'm Chad and I'll be your server this evening. Can I get anyone a beverage to start?" They just gave him a blank stare. Maybe they knew his name isn't Chad.
What I learned (again) today: in South Georgia, you can ride in the rain and not get cold.
What I should have learned a month ago: there are folks who will pay you to go on vacation for them.
Is this a great country or what?
whats up with all the no jew/ pro jew shit? that dickhead cj's comment didnt seem anymore interesting or fall more flat comedically then than the rest of the usual 'commentariat' mulllahs ok here it is: the hasidim are shitty drivers. is that comedy or anti-Semitism? its a stereotype but its true
Shut up, idiot. You suck.
--Wildcat Rock Machine
I watched the Lawrence Arabia video but it stopped about halfway through. I think the Internet got bored.

Maybe you can tell us some jokes about how big Laquesha,s butt is, because, hey, that's not racist because it's funny, and besides, you once met a few black people.Thanks
Very nice Information and beautiful message thanks
is it just me or does anyone else envision purgatory as being stuck in a conference room at the BWI Airport Marriott with motivational speaker Dana Michelle Williams?
That does seem pretty unbearable. Maybe stuck in a cab in traffic with cj sitting next to you would be a close runner-up. I mean at least the motivational speaker wants you to be happy, no?
Please don't feed the trolls.
You too, Snobby ;^)
Baartman was exhibited first in London, entertaining people because of her "exotic" origin[8] and by showing what were thought of as highly unusual bodily features. She had large buttocks (steatopygia) and also the elongated labia of some Khoisan women. To quote historian of science Stephen Jay Gould, "The labia minora, or inner lips, of the ordinary female genitalia are greatly enlarged in Khoi-San women, and may hang down three or four inches below the vulva when women stand, thus giving the impression of a separate and enveloping curtain of skin".
I had no idea road kill could generate so commentary. Me, I'm sick of it. Can't ride a mile without dodging something squished, flattend, pancaked, swollen, or smelly. It's carnage out here. Man, if someone wants to debunk evolution, start with the genetic theory of squirrels getting run over by cars, or the hoofed rats still not knowing that cars are the ultimate predator. UUGGHH.
It's the next day and I just noticed the face of the bus driver. Look at it -- it's The Face of Shame.
anti-Semitic? I've lots of Arab friends.
I am so confused. I didn't make fun of Rabbi Efraim Zalmanovich's name, I simply said it is a funny name?
Say it 10 times in rapid succession and tell me you don't crack a smile.

NEW YORK — You can't go to Las Vegas and bet on the next great economic bubble bursting, be it FHA mortgages, credit cards or student loans.
But if you could, put your money on that last credit market — student loans.
Data from FICO that analyzes a whopping 10 million consumer credit files show an "ominous" outlook for the college lending market, which is now, according to FICO, larger than credit card and auto loan debt.
Here's a snapshot of what FICO found:
Higher default rates. Recent borrowings are at much higher risk of delinquency and default than older loans. The delinquency rate on student loans originated in the three months after October 2005 is 12.4%, while the comparable figure for originations in the three months after October 2010 is 15.1% — a nearly 22% increase. Data show a 47% increase in delinquency rate on loans outstanding at the start of each period measured.
Higher debt burden. While outstanding student loan debt has increased significantly in recent years, the average debt burden of student loans has exploded. In 2005, about 12 million consumers had at least two student loans; in 2012, that grew to about 26 million.
Doubled debt. The average graduate's student loan debt has more than doubled from 2005 to 2012, from $17,233 to $27,253.
More six-figure debt. The percentage of consumers with student loans of more than $100,000 has quadrupled in the same period.
Banks expect more defaults. FICO's quarterly survey of bank risk managers conducted in December found that nearly 60% of respondents expected delinquencies on student loans to increase over the next six months. The same respondents expected delinquencies on all other types of consumer loans to decrease.
That's where the "ominous" outlook comes into the picture.
"This situation is simply unsustainable and we're already suffering the consequences," says Andrew Jennings, FICO's chief research director. "When wage growth is slow and jobs are not as plentiful as they once were, it is impossible for individuals to continue taking out ever-larger student loans without greatly increasing the risk of default. There is no way around that harsh reality."
The shockwaves coming from student loan troubles has some far-reaching effects, Jennings says. Lenders and colleges and universities need to step up to the plate before it's too late.
"As more people default on their student loans, their credit ratings will drop, making it harder for them to access new credit and help grow the economy," he adds. "Even people who stay current on their student loans are dealing with very large debts, which reduces the money they have available to spend elsewhere. The stakeholders in the student lending industry have to take a hard look at the terms and repayment rules for student loans, and the industry may have to develop a new lending model to prevent a bad situation from getting completely out of hand."
It's an uphill climb for an alarming number of college graduates. Worse, the student loan tsunami shows no sign of abating.

Krejci scores late to lift Bruins
Bruins 2, Sharks 1
David Krejci tipped in a shot with eight-tenths of a second left in the third period to lift the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 win over San Jose on Thursday night, sending the Sharks to their first regulation loss of the season.
Jarome Iginla scored his first goal with the Bruins (7-2) and goaltender Tuukka Rask was outstanding, making 38 saves.
Patrick Marleau had San Jose's goal, his eighth of the season. Antti Niemi stopped 15 shots.
Krejci, positioned in the slot, tipped defenseman Adam McQuaid's shot from the point between Niemi's pads for the game-winner.
The Sharks (8-1-1) tied the game at 1-all on the opening shift of the third period when Marleau swooped in from the left wing, slipping a rebound past Rask 18 seconds into the period.
Seconds later, Rask came across the crease and made a blocker save on Tomas Hertl at the end of a 2-on-1 break. The Sharks kept up the pressure with a flurry of shots over the next 2½ minutes.
The Bruins had an excellent chance with 2½ minutes left in regulation when Niemi dropped to make a pad save on Krejci's bid from in close.
Iginla had given Boston a 1-0 lead with 1:12 left in the second when he collected the rebound of Dennis Seidenberg's shot near the bottom of the right circle, firing a shot that trickled into the net after hitting Niemi's right pad and slipping between his legs.
Signed to a one-year free-agent deal that could earn him as much as $6 million with incentives, Iginla had a big smile on his face as he went over to the bench to accept congratulations from his teammates.
The 36-year old winger vetoed a trade that would have sent him to the Bruins when they had a deal in place at last season's trading deadline. He ended up accepting a deal to Pittsburgh, which was swept in the Eastern Conference finals by Boston last spring.
Niemi had robbed Patrice Bergeron about 2 minutes before Iginla's goal when he came across the crease to make a glove stop at the end of a 2-on-1 break.
Bruins winger Shawn Thornton unloaded a slap shot that caromed off the left post 3 minutes into the second.
The Bruins played the first period like many of their fans from the slimmed-down crowd — like they had something else on their minds. With the Red Sox hosting Game 2 of the World Series at Fenway Park about 3 miles away, there were a decent number of empty seats despite the club's 170th straight sellout of TD Garden.
The arena, which was less than a third full about 10 minutes before game time, ended up being only about three-quarters filled, with many open seats in the club and lower sections.
San Jose outshot Boston 16-3 in the opening period — at times, controlling the puck for lengthy stretches in the Bruins' zone.
NOTES: Boston's GM Peter Chiarelli said in a statement before the game that winger Loui Eriksson was "diagnosed with a concussion and will be out indefinitely" after a hit on Wednesday from Buffalo's enforcer John Scott, who was issued a match penalty for charging. Scott was suspended indefinitely by the NHL on Thursday. It ended Eriksson's streak of consecutive games played at 148. ... It was the Sharks' second game of a season-long five-game road trip. They also play at Montreal, Ottawa and the Los Angeles Kings before returning home to face Phoenix on Nov. 2. ... Boston defenseman Dougie Hamilton faced his brother, Freddie, a center with the Sharks.

Pasta with Asparagus; a simple dish but a wonderful way to enjoy asparagus which is in season right now.
Pasta with Asparagus
The egg yolk brings a richness and creaminess to this pasta dish without adding too much fat. Using quality ingredients like Parmigiano-Reggiano, fresh cracked pepper and extra virgin olive oil make this simple dish outstanding.
Why should you be eating asparagus? Asparagus is high in Folic Acid and is a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamins A, B6 and C.
This makes a great side dish or lunch, or you can increase the pasta to 8 oz for a meatless main dish adding a little more pasta water as needed for 7 points plus per serving.
Pasta with Asparagus
- 1 lb thin asparagus cut into 2" pieces (tough ends trimmed)
- 6 oz uncooked pasta such as Ronzoni Smart Taste or Dreamfields
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- salt and fresh cracked pepper
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- In a large pot boil 4 cups water with salt.
- When boiling, add asparagus and cook 3-5 minutes, until tender crisp.
- Drain asparagus in colander reserving 1 cup liquid before draining.
- Fill pot with salted water, cover and boil for pasta.
- When water boils cook pasta according to package directions for al dente.
- Meanwhile, in a sauté pan heat olive oil.
- Add garlic and cook until golden, add asparagus, salt and pepper and sauté about 1-2 minutes, tossing with oil and garlic.
- In a small bowl combine egg yolk, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/4 cup reserved asparagus liquid, salt and pepper.
- Mix well.
- After pasta is drained return to pot and mix with egg mixture.
- Cook on medium-low about 2 minutes, until sauce thickens and sticks to pasta.
- Toss in asparagus and mix well.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- If pasta seems too dry add more reserved liquid a tablespoon at a time.
- Serve with additional grated cheese.

It is our goal to keep your mouth healthy, your teeth fully functional, and your smile bright — and we are proud of all the services we offer to do exactly that. At the same time, we want you to understand all that modern dentistry in general has to offer you. To that end, we have assembled a first-rate dental library in which you can find a wealth of information on various dental topics, including:
From a thorough professional cleaning to a full smile makeover, there is an amazing array of services that cosmetic and general dentists offer to make sure your teeth stay healthy, function well and look great. If your smile is not all you want it to be, this is the place to start. Read more about Cosmetic & General Dentistry.
When you have a dental emergency — whether it's caused by a sudden accident or chronic disease — your teeth and/or the tissues of the mouth that surround them need to receive proper care right away. It's also important to be aware, before you're actually in the situation, of what you can do to ensure the best outcome. Read more about Emergency Dental Care.
This is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the inside of the tooth — specifically the root canals and sensitive, inner pulp (nerve) tissue. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, a root canal procedure may become necessary. But contrary to the popular myth, a root canal doesn't cause pain, it relives it. Read more about Endodontics.
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer the comfort and security of a permanent replacement that looks and functions just like your natural teeth. Dental implants also help preserve the tooth-supporting bone in your jaw that naturally deteriorates when even one tooth is lost. Read more about Implant Dentistry.
Oral health is an essential component of general health and well-being. Good oral health means a mouth that's free of disease; a bite that functions well enough for you to eat without pain and get ample nutrition; and a smile that lets you express your happiest emotions with confidence. Read more about Oral Health.
A major goal of modern dentistry is to help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for a lifetime. By following a conscientious program of oral hygiene at home, and coming to the dental office for routine cleanings and exams, you have the best chance of making this goal a reality. Read more about Oral Hygiene.
The word "surgery" often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Some common oral surgery procedures include: tooth extractions, dental implant placement, and biopsies of suspicious oral lesions. Read more about Oral Surgery.
Adults and kids alike can benefit from the boost in self-confidence that comes from having a great-looking smile with beautifully aligned teeth. Orthodontic treatment can even improve chewing, speaking and oral hygiene in certain cases. And with today's virtually invisible orthodontic appliances, it's possible to keep your treatment a private matter… until your new smile is unveiled, of course! Read more about Orthodontics.
It's never too early to get your child started on the path toward a lifetime of good oral health, and there are many services to do exactly that. Monitoring your child's dental growth and development, and preventing and intercepting dental diseases along the way, is the primary focus of pediatric dentistry. Read more about Pediatric Dentistry.
If you want to keep your teeth for life — a completely reasonable goal in this day and age — you need to make sure the tissues that surround them are also healthy. Should gum problems arise, you may need periodontal therapy to restore diseased tissues to health. Read more about Periodontal Therapy.
In the field of dentistry, new technology is constantly changing the way diseases are diagnosed, routine procedures are performed, and illnesses are prevented. Although they may seem unfamiliar at first, new and improved dental technologies offer plenty of real benefits for patients. Read more about Technology.
Smiling with confidence makes you feel great. A beautiful smile is also an important social and professional asset. Yet there are many people who avoid showing their teeth in public or in photographs because they don't like what they see. If that describes you, then why not start the process of getting the smile you've always wanted with a smile makeover?
A smile makeover goes beyond simply responding to dental problems as they arise. It's a comprehensive smile-rejuvenation plan that's uniquely suited to your own facial features and aesthetic preferences. The results can be quite dramatic — both in terms of how your will look and how you will feel. These are the major steps involved:
Take a look. The makeover process is all about giving you the smile of your dreams. So take a good look at your smile and note what you like and don't like about it. Some questions you can ask yourself are:
Remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder… and that's you! Some people want their smile to look "perfect" — and to them, that means completely straight, uniformly white teeth. Others like a slightly more natural look, and are not displeased by slight gaps or shade variations. There are lots of decisions to make, but don't worry — dentists are skilled at helping you sort it all out!
Share your thoughts. Communication is an extremely important part of the smile makeover process. At the first makeover consultation, it helps if you describe what you would like to change in as much detail as possible. Bring along pictures of smiles you like, or of how your own smile used to look. Your makeover dentist will have some thoughts to share with you as well because dentists are trained to look at smiles in terms of facial balance. In other words, a dentist will look not only at how the elements of a smile (teeth, lips and gums) relate to each other, but also how they blend in with the face as a whole.
Make a plan. An important part of planning a smile makeover is a comprehensive dental exam. Cosmetic dentistry offers an amazing array of lifelike tooth restorations and treatments; but first, any conditions in your mouth that may jeopardize a good result must be taken care of. If your teeth are discolored, for example, the reason must be determined. You may have an underlying dental disease that needs to be treated before whitening your teeth; otherwise, the whitening may not last. Likewise, if you often drink red wine or other beverages that stain, you might do better with porcelain veneers than bleaching treatments.
Try it out. A smile makeover is an investment that is meant to last. That's why many of the procedures performed are irreversible. So if you are contemplating some changes, it's a great idea to try them out before you fully commit to them. There are many ways to preview the results: computer imaging, 3-D models, and even placing temporary restorations on your teeth so you can see what the final results will look and feel like in your own mouth. This also allows a fine-tuning of the makeover plan.
A "trial smile" is a great way to eliminate unknowns in the makeover process. But when it's all done, there's still one thing you may not be prepared for: how great it feels to flash your new smile to the world!

Do you have a favorite homemade candy shop? I do. It's gross really how much money I dropped at the last visit. And the people that work there 'almost' know me by name. Sad. Let's blame it on winter and winter time makes people eat more carbs. Sounds right. Stage Stop Candy in Dennisport, MA makes the best peanut butter logs and coconut clusters--oh of course many other things, but those two are the main reasons I go there (and the occasional sea salted Tahitian vanilla caramel).
AND congrats to the winners of the Sweets on a Stick Cookbook giveaway. Tree #8, Janet Rudolph #59 and Cake Duchess #66. Please email me your address so we can get these books out to you. CONGRATS!
Also, Jen of Duluth, GA (#62) you were the winner of the Nescafe Piccolo Giveaway. You still haven't contacted me and only have a few more days left before I choose another winner on Monday Jan 9, 2012. Please email me ASAP Jen!
coconut clusters
print recipe
7 ounces of toasted coconut*
11.5 ounces of high quality milk chocolate (you could try dark chocolate)
A pinch or two of sea salt
Cook notes:
*Toast your coconut on a parchment lined baking sheet in a 250 degree oven for about 15-25 minutes. You will have to toss the coconut around on the baking sheet a couple times during cooking; this prevents uneven browning. You know the coconut is done when the coconut is a very light golden brown—this is when to take it out of the oven. The coconut gets dark fast! So watch it at the 15 minute mark.
I used mini cupcake pans to make even, round clusters. Use whatever mold you like, just make sure you use liners or non stick spray or even silicone molds since the chocolate might stick to the pan.
If it does stick all you need to do is put the pan in a larger pan of warm/hot water for a few seconds to a minute. This should loosen the bottom a bit and you will be able to lift them out. Do not let it sit in the water too long as they will melt. If you want to decorate tops of clusters with toasted coconut then save a little on the sides.
To make clusters, take cooled toasted coconut and mix with about 11.5 ounces of melted/tempered milk chocolate. Sprinkle a couple small pinches of sea salt. Mix well, then transfer to your molds. Push them down into molds to make even and get out the air. This would be the time to sprinkle the tops of the clusters with the saved toasted coconut, if desired. I did a few, not all. Let cool/harden at room temp then finish setting up in fridge.
Should make about 15 mini cupcake sized clusters. Stores for about a week in air-tight container.
