It's a modified Dacia Duster!
Indian tuner turns budget off-roader into luxury mean machine…on a budget
Posted: 24 Apr 2013
Late last year, Top Gear evaded some rocks, altitude sickness and a deadly trio of vultures in an effort to discover whether a budget Romanian SUV could traverse one of the world's wildest roads.
It could - and we loved its budget charm. Except now, an Indian tuner has decided to turn TG Mag's Bargain of the Year 2013, the Dacia Duster, into a luxury off road concept. On a budget. Behold, Internet, the DC Duster.
TG drives the Dacia Duster in Peru
The DC Duster has been built by the same chap who created that scissor-doored black Rolls-Royce - yes, that one - a few years back, rumoured to be owned by the Sultan of Brunei. For his new creation, he's not so much ignored the Duster's premise of simple, utilitarian functionality... as kicked it in the plums and watched it cry.
Inside the DC Duster you will find lots of leather, wood and luxury. There is a television screen attached on the rear of the driver's headrest, electrically adjustable seats - foldable to create a bed area (and what could be more romantic?) - and some subtle exterior mods with more than a hint of Knight Rider about the front.
And how much would you expect to pay for such unbridled luxury goodness? Why, DC is charging just 3.49 lakh rupees - on top of the price of a base Duster - which equates to just over £4,200. What's your take - does this ruin the Duster's wipe-down, Poundland appeal, or are you loving the low-cost leather and Romanian romance?

You may have already found Suzanne because she has one of the most popular websites about country life online. There is a recipe community (Farm Bell Recipes) and an active country living forum with a wide range of topics from animals, gardening, crafting, cooking and canning to cheesemaking (of course).
I could tell you more of her story, but Suzanne was a writer before she became a farmer. In fact, she had 26 romance novels published and translated into many languages! My point is that she writes well (much better than I do) so I would rather give you the basics by sharing excerpts from her blog. For example, here are a few paragraphs from the first article she wrote:
My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, "You've brought us to this slanted little house to die."
Products of suburbia, my three children wondered why there was no cable TV or Target, not to mention central heat. My daughter, hungry from the trip, tried to call Domino's. My cousins explained gently (and without laughing) that they don't deliver pizza out here. I think it took her a good thirty minutes to believe they weren't making that up.
My kids eat sandwiches sitting in apple trees. They jump fully clothed in the river if they want to. They skate on frozen creeks and they know how to pick a hoe out of the shed. They know what a low-water bridge is, and how to set a turtle trap. We don't worry about burglars at night but raccoons. They eat corn on the cob and know they planted the seed.
People around here don't have much if you compare them to suburbanites. Even if they can afford it, they don't buy granite countertops or designer clothes, and there's not much competition at the high school for the swankest car. As my son likes to say (in his exaggerated teenage way), "They're all driving cars their grandfathers bought in 1950."
But for all they don't have, what they do have is each other, along with that deeply-held pride in community and family and plain living that has been largely lost in the contemporary world.
Other people may have chosen to leave, but I chose to come, and I choose to stay. When people ask me where I'm from now, I have an answer. I'm from West Virginia. And my children, who once wondered if I brought them to this slanted little house to die, have bloomed like flowers taken from a sterile hothouse and put out in the natural sun.
We didn't come to this slanted little house to die. We came here to live.
The slanted little house belongs to my cousin and is part of his farm. No one lives in it now. My great-aunt Ruby lived in it till she died, over 10 years before I came here. No one has lived in it since. It is kept up sort of like a museum. We lived in it for 2 1/2 years.
At certain times of the year, 4wd is necessary to get to our house and up our driveway. Through most of the year, it's not. Three to four months over the winter, you can't get here without a 4wd and we are sometimes quite isolated and stuck due to the road conditions. From our farm, you can either get out by crossing a river ford (which doesn't work in high water or ice) or the other way over two miles of dirt-rock road up and down hill (which also doesn't work too well in snow and ice).
Note: This is a great article called "On the 8th day the farmer created cream."
This "cream discovery" enabled me to decide daily if I wanted heavy cream for butter the next day, or light cream for coffee, sorta like a wizard. (That little trick may or may not be interesting for you to use, I have no idea, maybe everybody already knows this! It was a discovery to *me* anyway.)
I'm probably heading in the direction of quitting all the pasteurizing, even for the soft cheese milk. It's kind of a hassle. I feel much more comfortable with her now. She's a really good cow in disposition, too. We lucked out in a lot of ways with our "discount" cow, and I like to think we gave her a good home, her first real home, and she gave us a bonus future milker for free. I've posted a few times about pasteurizing, and wow, people get very hot about it, I've found out! (on both sides) I'm not opposed to raw milk, just slow to go that direction with a new cow (and a new experience for me).
Here's a great little video about Suzanne and her farm:

The 3/4", 1", 1-1/2" and 2" filter screens are readily accessible for easy removal and cleaning. These screens can be used as replacement screens in any of The Drip Store's current line of screen filters.
Screen filters are the most common filters used in the irrigation industry and in most cases the least expensive. They are generally used as a backup for any type of drip irrigation installation and are mainly installed where the quality of water is good. Screen filters are excellent for removing hard particulates from water, such as sand and other small elements often found in city water.
The screen filters are not suitable for removing organic materials such as algae, mold and slime. These non-solid materials tend to embed themselves into the screen material where they are very difficult to remove. In other cases they simply slide through the holes in the screen by temporarily deforming their shape. The screen filters are cleaned by removing and hand cleaning the screen.

Customer Favorite
Retro-shaped plastic framed sunglasses with tinted lenses. Rounded shape.
*Plastic Frame
Measurements:Width Across Front: 5 1/2"= 14 cm
Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 20 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Nikki_B_90 Too big The frames are too big for my face but I should have expected that as most glasses don't suit my face. Looks kinda cool when face is viewed on an angle but looks odd front on. I bought the cream/tortoise and think they are a bit cheap looking. 5.24.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by HeatherEmily BIG sunnies! I have a very round face and these sunglasses are much rounder in shape than I anticipated. As well they are OVERSIZED. Yes, they are gorgeous, but they make my face look even rounder so not quite right for me. Too bad! If you have alot of angles in your face, go for them! 3.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by nicoleeeee Great pair! I just bought these two days ago and I've already received compliments. I went back to buy two more pair of FP sunglasses. I have to admit i was hessitant because the first pair of free people glasses i bought broke immediately and i was not allowed to get a refund. So i was hesitant and a bit bitter about the situation. But I LOVE these pairs It gives you an oversized hollywood glam 6.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by AmourFou these oversized sunnies are perfect. Love LOVE these sunnies! I purchased the blue/tort fade and they are just so super cool. They are pretty much as pictured, you can see on most of the models' faces that they're a round, oversized frame, so note before you buy - probably not ideal for all faces but the photos are accurate. I'm super happy with mine and thinking about getting a second pair :) 4.16.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Elysia Bug eyes... Bought these in the cream/tortoise color and unfortunately didn't look so well on my face shape. I think that if you have slender, small face it would fit well. 2.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by zoekirschner love, love, love These sunglasses are awesome. I have received multiple compliments on them and they look great on people, like myself, who need a bigger pair of sunglasses to suit their face. My first pair just broke after 6 months but I will definitely be getting new ones. 7.20.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bestofwhatsaroun The best These sunnies are big and bold, but in a really good way. The color is amazing! Love 'em. 6.26.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by juliasziklai Best sunnies ever!! I bought these about 2 weeks ago and LOVE them! I have received soo many compliments!! Wearing them all the time! So soo good! 6.13.2014

Editor's note: The Chevelle you are going to read about has some unusual paperwork and a controversial background, with the owner and the estate of Dick Harrell arguing over exactly what it is. We are an enthusiast publication, not a court of law, so we present it solely for your reading enjoyment and education.--Jim Campisano
One puff is all it takes, and bam, you're an addict. Just ask Roger Day. In 1969, after logging 105,000 glorious miles on his '66 SS396 Chevelle, the trusty Rat motor started showing signs of fatigue. While the old girl had never let him down, the blue smoke it puffed between shifts gave Roger a bad case of wandering-eye syndrome.
"I stopped by the parts department at Bill Allen Chevrolet, my local dealership, to price out a new 427 crate motor. I had recently paid off the Chevelle, so an upgrade made perfect sense to me," he recalls. However, once the counterman suggested a few supporting mods, like a heavy-duty four-speed, clutch, etc., reality scrapped his budget-busting plan. No worries, because within a month, Roger traded in this '66 SS396 for a new '69 COPO 427 Chevelle. As great as all this sounds, the story was just getting started, and it would take 42 long years before reaching a happy ending.
The series of events that ensued during those 42 years is just cuckoo. Without question, Roger put the super-rare L72 big-block Chevelle to good use. "I never got left behind at a stoplight, and the Chevelle was unbeaten. Two races that stand out the most are beating my friend John Carter's 396ci Nova, and on another occasion, smoking a 440 Six-Pack Challenger very badly," he reminisces.
Street scuffles aside, Roger's fondest memory involving the '69 Chevelle is the night he met his wife. "On Memorial Day weekend in 1970, I stopped by my buddy Jim Fancher's house for a get together and met a pretty girl named Karen Boulton through some mutual friends. I took her home in my Chevelle afterwards, and we talked until 4:30 the next morning. We got engaged two weeks later, and we recently celebrated our 40th anniversary. We think it's going to work out."
At the time, few people realized what a rare machine this particular Chevelle would prove to be. "I figured out that the Chevelle was a factory 427 car shortly after I bought it new, but I wasn't aware of the COPO process. To my knowledge, this is the only '69 COPO 427 Chevelle built at GM Kansas City production line with the original documents and the original owner," Roger explains. Notable factory equipment includes a heavy duty F41 suspension, power disc front brakes, a 12-bolt Posi rearend, and 14x7 SS-style wheels. Furthermore, Roger has some very unique documents indicating that the hood stripes, column tach, AM radio, and hood locks were added as dealer-installed options. Unaware of what a truly extraordinary piece of muscle car history his Chevelle would come to represent in the subsequent decades, he traded it in for a '70 Camaro RS after just 15 months of ownership.
Although it seems crazy looking back at the situation today, Roger had good reason for getting rid of the Chevelle. After yet another street racing victory, the 427 began emitting some ominous signs of rod knock. He took car into the dealership for inspection, and GM replaced the 12,000-mile L72 under warranty. To get the work approved, the GM zone manager came down to the dealership to meet with Roger and the service manager. "He said 'GM should have never put these 427 motors in production cars. They're race motors, and people are just going to blow them up,'" Roger recalls.
Unfortunately, those words would be validated once again, when Roger took his Chevelle on a test run not long after the repair. "I got on the gas, the oil light came on, and the new motor started knocking again. The pickup tube fell off, and it turned out that the mechanic forgot to weld it in place. This time, GM authorized repairing the motor, but not a complete replacement. I figured that two incidents in such a short period of time was one time too many, so I traded it in for a small-block '70 Camaro. My future father-in-law cringed every time I picked his daughter up for a date in a big-block Chevelle, so he was elated when I replaced it with something more practical."
In the decades that followed, Roger and his wife Karen often reminisced about their chance meeting in the summer of '70, the whirlwind romance that followed, and the '69 Chevelle that starred center stage in it all. Consequently, he embarked on a mission to track down the car in the mid-'90s, but without much success. Then in 2008, Roger tapped into a new wave of self-motivation determined to find that old Chevelle once and for all. He located the person who owned the car in the mid-'80s, who revealed that he sold it at auction. Disappointed but not defeated, Roger turned to the online community for help, posting inquiries on message boards like www.chevelles.net. That led to tracking down another one of the car's former owners, who indicated that the COPO sat on a farm for several years before getting crushed for scrap. "That news was devastating, but something inside me wouldn't let go, and I just couldn't quit," he says.

This week on "The Amazing Race," Moscow will kill all of your dreams. You will find sadness and despair. You won't get engaged, you won't get invited to go clubbing, you won't be able to wear a bow tie in a swimming pool, it's just dreary.
Cold and gray, like Seattle, but it's Moscow, people. The capital of hopelessness. Don't forget your passport.
Before we dive into all that, though, remember last week when the Twins picked up Rock On's money and kept it? Phil Keoghan was getting all sorts of flak on Twitter for not mentioning it during their Pit Stop interview. He said that they shoot 12 episodes in 21 days, the crew is spread out thousands of miles in many countries, so it's not always easy for him to get all the information for mat interviews.

"I absolutely call teams out about their behavior when I have all the information," he said. Don't hate on Phil, okay?
As I mentioned before, the teams travel to Moscow. Did you know that Russia is the largest country in the world? And that Moscow has more millionaires and billionaires in it than any city in the world? Not your first thought when you think of Russia, is it?
Before leaving, we see an interview with Trey and Lexi, who are having a great time. Lexi says their relationship is better than ever, "Hopefully there'll be a ring on my finger pretty soon, but that's his call." Trey doesn't make that call right then.
Teams head to the airport. Twins and Texi stick together, and Boyfriend Ryan thinks they're babies for waiting for each other rather than finding their own way. The Twins think Abbie has crazy eyes. Status quo so far.
Worth the risk?
The teams find three different flight options. Chippendales and Rock On choose a flight that arrives at 2 a.m. Twins and Texi choose one that arrives at 4 a.m. I don't think they were told about the earlier flight.
The third option also arrives at 2, but it only has a one-hour layover in Frankfurt. Dominate chooses it, saying it's worth the risk. Goat Farmers can't decide, so they actually flip a coin. They end up traveling with Dominate.
That third flight out of Istanbul (not Constantinople)? It's delayed an hour. Goat Farmers and Dominate arrive in Frankfurt with only three minutes to catch their connection. It doesn't happen. They're stranded until the morning, and the next flight won't arrive until 3:10 p.m., half a day behind the other teams.
Where else is it cold and rainy?
Moscow is the coldest place the teams have been to so far. The twins interview interchangeably, "This is so Russia, dreary and dark. It's like Seattle. But it's Moscow." I personally live north of Seattle, and today was a cold and rainy day. It totally felt like Moscow.
Be good or Olga will shush you
One of the Detour options is called Alphabetized. They visit the library, which is huge. They get a list of books, and that list is written in Cyrillic, which is an alphabet very different from ours. Then they have to go to miles and miles of handwritten card catalogs to look up four books. Finally, they travel to by horse and pony cart to the secret dungeon of the library to pull the books off the shelves. When they present the books to Olga, the head librarian, she will give them their next clue.
Texi and Rock On choose this Detour. Team Texi are operating on fairy dust this leg, maybe because they're so in love. They actually figure out the system, kind of, and complete the task.
Rock On gives up and chooses the other Detour.
Be good or Coach will yell at you
The other Detour is called Synchronized. They go to a pool where the next generation of gold medal synchronized swimmers practice. They have to learn and perform a routine to the satisfaction of the coach.
By the way, Phil tried synchronized swimming back in the '90s for a show in New Zealand. "I performed like a brick," he said. But I bet he looked good doing it.

Well lets see:"Breivik, who is held separately from other prisoners for his protection"Sounds like that good old Norwegian justice system is working properly when even the other inmates want to harm the guy, I wonder if any of the other inmates were relatives of the 77 victims.
He's in a high security prison with the worst people of Norway.
I'm sorry from now on I will judge all Americans based on the behaviour of the people you keep locked up in maximum security.
Seems they need to let him wander into the "regular prison population" to me.
It would probably be dramatically un-dramatic in reality.

Lightweight, 100% pure Moroccan argan oil—no synthetic ingredients or preservatives. Multi-purpose oil for soothing, softening and rejuvenating skin and hair.
Glonaturals™ Argan Oil is:
What is Glonaturals™ Argan Oil?
Glonaturals™ Argan Oil is a 100% pure oil derived from the inner kernel (or nut) of an olive-like fruit that grows on the argan (Argania spinosa) tree. Found mostly in southern Morocco, as well as parts of Algeria, the ancient argan tree is known for its ability to withstand particularly harsh, dry weather conditions. Although its fruit and timber are used (for animal feed and fuel), the oil is the most prized and widely used part of the tree.
Naturally rich in vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids and other phytonutrients, argan oil topically nourishes skin, while also providing a layer of light, soothing, non-greasy moisture. It absorbs quickly, making it ideal as a daily moisturizer under makeup or an alternative to heavier body lotions. It can also be applied to dry, rough skin for instant relief.
Glonaturals™ Argan Oil is a premium argan oil, bottled 100% pure, without added fragrances, synthetic ingredients or preservatives. It's also free of parabens, and has not been tested on animals.

can it be use in iPod touch?
- Asked by Graciela M from Cicero
Disney Spotlight Digital Wireless Mic + Karaoke App
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes it can. The app is for Ipad, Iphone, and Ipod Touch. It works great with the Iphone as long as you use headphones or speakers. The wireless attachment connector for the microphone blocks the sound from the iphone/itouch and that is why you need to use the headphones or speakers.

U-T 32: Broncos imitated '09 Chargers
1 – (1) Denver Broncos (13-3) . Imitating the '09 Bolts, the Mules rode an 11-game win streak into playoff bye.
Last week: beat Chiefs.
This week: bye as No. 1 seed.
2 – (2) New England Patriots (12-4) . Gronk returned. Now he gets another week to acclimate. Scary how healthy Hoodie's team has become.
Last week: beat Dolphins.
This week: bye as No. 2 seed.
3 – (3) San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1) . Looks like they'll lose GM candidate Tom Gamble, one of front office's top performers.
Last week: beat Cards.
This week: bye as No. 2 seed.
4 – (5) Atlanta Falcons (13-3) New playcaller Dirk Koetter did deft work with screen game and downfield pass. Ex-Arizona State coach is one to watch.
Last week: lost to Bucs.
This week: bye as No. 1 seed.
5 – (6) Green Bay Packers (12-4) . Aaron Rodgers, playmaker, leader and part-time San Diegan, is our Offensive Player of the Year.
Last week: lost at Vikings.
This week: Vikings on Saturday.
6 – (4) Houston Texans (12-4) . Same foe, same venue as for last year's playoff opener. They'd love same result: 21-point win (with T.J. Yates at QB).
Last week: lost at Colts.
This week: Bengals on Saturday.
7 – (7) Seattle Seahawks (11-5) . Russell Wilson's success as a third-round pick is making QB-deficient clubs (Chiefs, Jets, Browns) look like they whiffed last April.
Last week: beat Rams.
This week: at Redskins on Sunday.
8 – (8) Washington Redskins (10-6) . RGIII is our Rookie of the Year by a sliver over Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson. Kudos to the coaching Shanahans.
Last week: beat Cowboys.
This week: Seahawks on Sunday.
9 – (9) Indianapolis Colts (11-5) . A year ago, flat-Earth people were saying Matt Barkley was better than Andrew Luck.
Last week: beat Texans.
This week: at Ravens on Sunday..
10 – (10) Baltimore Ravens (10-6) . In nine postseason starts, Flacco is 5-4/eight TDs, eight picks/70.4 QB rating (career rating is 86.3)
Last week: lost at Bengals.
This week: Colts on Sunday.
11 – (13) Cincinnati Bengals (10-6) . Their playoff victory drought dates to '90, the NFL's longest active streak. As a rookie last year, Dalton threw three picks in playoff loss at Houston.
Last week: beat Ravens.
This week: at Texans on Saturday.
12 – (14) Minnesota Vikings (10-6) . Adrian Peterson has our vote as MVP. Also edges Avengers for Superhero of '12 honor.
Last week: beat Packers.
This week: at Packers on Saturday.
13 – (11) Chicago Bears (10-6) . Offensive line, not Mr. Pouty Face, led to Lovie's pink slip.
Last week: won at Lions.
14 – (12) New York Giants (9-7) . With the No. 19 pick in the 2013 draft, the Giants will select…someone who can defend the pass.
Last week: beat Eagles.
15 – (16) Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8) . They hope that in a year or two, their young, (injury-prone) offensive line will lead return to glory.

Hi All,
I have 3 drives installed on my PC (1) solid state drive for the O.S. Win 7 Pro dual booting with a VHD Win 8 Pro (which I really like). The other two SATA drives are for storage (1) 500 gig partitioned in two and (1) 320 gig not partitioned.
Here's my problem: Periodically the 2 SATA (NOT the SSD) drives will disappear and the only way to get them back is to shutdown my PC and disconnect them from the MOBO and then plug them back in. When I restart they reappear. This happens from time to time but without a trigger that I'm aware of.
I've tested both drives and they are healthy and I'm at a loss why this happens.
Any ideas?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Okaloosa County's consideration of a gasoline tax increase doesn't sit well with some local city leaders.
Commissioners recently sent letters to the county's nine municipalities, asking them to weigh in on the proposal.
"I'm against raising taxes at all," Destin City Councilman Larry Williges said Wednesday. "It's so easy for the government to turn around and increase something and the people have to pay for it. I live on a fixed income, and if I want something I budget for it."
A tax hike of up to 5 cents per gallon would generate money needed to pave and repair roads, primarily in north Okaloosa. Some county commissioners have said they support a gas tax increase because it's a user fee that would also be paid by thousands of tourists.
"That's a lot of hokum," Williges said. "It's just an easy method."
Fort Walton Beach City Councilman Trey Goodwin agreed.
"Whether or not the tourists pay for it doesn't relieve our citizens from having to pay it when they go to the gas station," he said. "They still are going to feel the burden."
Goodwin said raising the gas tax could "send a signal that we fix problems by raising taxes."
Fort Walton Beach City Councilman Dick Rynearson said the county needs to show cities "a specific plan" for how the tax revenue would be used.
"You've got to tell me how you're going to use it, but not carte blanche," he said.
Under Florida law, counties are authorized to levy up to 12 cents per gallon on fuel. Okaloosa now levies 7 cents.
Diesel fuel is exempt from the tax.
County officials have estimated a gas tax increase would generate about $911,709 per cent. That revenue must be shared with local municipalities through agreements.
If commissioners decide to levy an extra tax, it would have to be approved by July 1 to take effect Jan. 1, 2014.
"It's not good timing," Mary Esther Councilwoman Ruth Sykes said. "I really don't like it."
Sykes said she opposes raising the gas tax at a time when fuel costs continue to rise.
"Nobody wants anymore (taxes)," she said.
Crestview Mayor David Cadle called the county's proposal "very vague" and said he is withholding judgment until he has more information.
Cadle said he's not surprised that some officials are firmly opposed to raising the gas tax.
"Any time you say tax increase, there's going to be a negative reaction," he added.
But Cadle knows firsthand the need for road repairs in the north county.
"There is a lot of concern," he said. "Something has to be done to get these roads paved."
Exactly how to do that remains to be seen.
Goodwin said the short-term benefit is more revenue for local cities and towns, but the long-term toll is unfair to residents.
"It's not the Band-Aid that's going to fix everything, and I just think it leaves a bad taste," he said. "I don't see that as a sustainable solution. At some point, people just get fed up with it."

Hello to all of the Ewrestling news nation. This is my very first blog & I hope
you guys and gals enjoy it. Feel free to leave a comment afterwards and thanx for taking time out of your day or night to read it. A little bit of history about me: Fan of ROH, TNA, WWE, NJPW...Pretty much any promotion that puts on good matches. I've been a fan for about twelve years yada, yada enough about

OK guys, I'ma generally try and keep all these WTFs short, sweet, and nasty. This one, however, is gonna be a more meaty post because there's some shit going on here that disturbs me.

There's been a story making the rounds regarding something that happened at the SD! tapings. It's all over the net and there's hardly any way to avoid it. Since it's a
Hey all !
So , as you see in the title I will deal with the TNA X Division
Everybody seems to be happy that TNA brings back X Division but ... as a hater that I am (I prefer say it myself before someone say it) : I don't like it.
If I don't like it it's not because I don't like the 5 new guys who joined the X Division , oh no ! 'cause they all have good
I apologize for over-blogging, but doing this in under 4 parts is looking pretty impossible. As an example the whole European title and the two segments after that were apart of part 1 but it was a 1753 characters over, so it's on part 2 now. But anyway lets get on with the review (trying to keep the intros short, sorry) . . .

Hello me again back with another review. This time it's a pretty major one to say the least, widely considered one of the best PPV events of all time Wrestlemania X-seven. Now i'm going to keep this pretty brief because this is a 11 match card, and including extras it's going to be tough to keep this within 3 parts.
But lets get on with the card . . .

Firstly I will start with who I think will win the Rumble, eventhough it is a long way away, think the Rock will win it, heres why I think this.
We all know Daniel Bryan will cash in his MITB at WM28, so a smackdown guy wont be winning the rumble. Which brings me to the WWE title...
When Cena won the title from Miz he stated that he would keep it untill mania (which he obv lost)
Hey guys Knox here. I'm here to blog about the career of the Miz for a couple seconds. Now the Miz is one of my favorites so I feel its time to address this whole Tag Team situation. He was made into a bonifide maineventer only be thrown back into another tag team which is something I have trouble in understanding.
First The Miz was with John Morrison, then The Big Show, briefly
Hey guys it's the Poot-Hair again and after the relative success of my first blog I decided to give it a second go. If this works out pretty well I plan on writing a weekly/bi-monthly blogs on anything I deem blog worthy
First and foremost let me say that I am not a WWE, TNA, or RoH mark. I am a Pro Wrestling mark. I mark out for all the drama, suspense, and in-ring action that we've

I've been thinking a lot since the death of one "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and it made me think of who exactly could be said as the "Macho Man" of the 10's. Now before the bashing begins let me say that when I say the "Macho Man" of today, I don't mean in character comparison I mean in company position.
That thought made me think of all the other stars of
So after watching the 3 Disc Top 100 Moments of Smackdown and the Top 50 Superstars of All Time I thought that I'd combine the two and make a list of the superstars that I felt had the biggest pushes of their careers on Smackdown and truly made a name for themselves, or started off on Smackdown and propelled themselves into greatness.

In the mist of R-Truth becoming the #1 Contender the ENTIRE IWC is a buzz. Some folks like it cause it's new and a shock and think Ron deserves it. Other folks think that it's bull and that he's a piece of crap and that other guys deserve his spot. Other guys like...John Morrison.
Now before I start this let me first say: I'm a huge JoMo fan. Since he won Tough Enough 3 (you guys remember
Okay people Wrestlemania is now just 24 hours away. And so we come to the finale of our COUNTDOWN TO WRESTLEMANIA 27. This has been super fun to re watch some of these matches and to really put some thought and effort into all of this. SO without further ado the final installment of the count down.

Yes, the WWZ chants were piped it. WWE manipulates ALL of their product (haven't you seen the Are you Serious? Series on YouTube; All the "horrible aspects of wrestling" yet they only feature stuff from WCW, making WWE look like they can do no wrong) so people remain deaf, dumb, and filled with hate/disgust for anything without the WWE label on it. Ziggler is the next guy that the WWE will create to keep the male demo from 18-35 happy, just like they did with CM Punk… Oh don't tell me, you thought all the Pipebomb/contract shit with Punk was real… The Ingsoc of WWE has gone WAY to far at this point.
I didn't know people in Europe were thought of as "Southern Folk"; no wonder I get along with so many brits on this site.
I don't get how a guy who oversells someone spitting on them to the point of blading is thought as "too damn good for too damn long". And Ziggler didn't get a "pop"… Ziggler got a Canned Pop – We've established this.
As for your drivel about TNA, all I can say is that people like you wish for all the things that TNA is doing (storylines that actually have a long term arch and direction, not as many PPVs per year, actually having continuity in angles) yet you bash it because it's not named "World Wrestling Entertainment". What's wrong, does the idea of enjoying TNA frighten you because you are coming across as the homophobic individual who bashes something because they secretly want to be involved in it.

Cardinals – Need a lot more than one aging receiver to fix their quarterback situation.
Falcons – Why mess up a good thing between Matt Ryan and Roddy White?
Ravens – No room with Boldin, Mason and Housh. Moss would pout, ruin chemistry.
Bills – Ryan Fitzpatrick has been pleasantly surprising. Don't mess with a good thing.
Panthers – Think Moss will be a good soldier on a team competing for the No. 1 pick?
Bears – Lovie and Martz have their hands full already with Jay Cutler in the locker room.
Bengals – T.O. and Moss in the same locker room? No thanks.
Browns – If Mangini can't get along with Braylon Edwards, how would Moss fit in?
Cowboys – The last thing they need is another distraction.
Broncos – Do you really think McDaniels will get along with Moss better than Marshall?
Lions – Can you picture Moss accepting role as a No. 2 receiver on a 2-5 team?
Packers – Chemistry on offense seems to be great. Don't mess it up.
Colts – Manning prefers his no-name receivers. And it works just fine for him.
Jaguars – Last place Jags aren't going anywhere. Don't waste the money.
Chiefs – Already hold a big lead in a weak division. Why mess with what's working?
Dolphins – Marshall and Moss is too much ego for any coaching staff to handle.
Vikings – Been there. Done that.
Patriots – Been there. Done that.
Saints – Brees seems to be doing o.k. for himself without an elite receiver.
Giants – Can you picture Moss backing up Nicks and Smith?
Jets – I think they've learned their lesson with Braylon Edwards.
Raiders – Been there. Done that.
Eagles – Been there. Done that.
Steelers – After trading Holmes, adding Moss would be a step backwards.
Chargers – Vincent Jackson is back.
49ers – Can you picture Moss being happy in last place in the worst division?
Seahawks – The last thing Mike Williams needs right now is a bad influence.
Rams – Last thing this young, overachieving team needs is a bad influence like Moss.
Titans – Kenny Britt has enough issues to overcome without Moss influencing him.
Redskins – McNabb and T.O. didn't work. Why would it work with Moss?

I wasn't born, when the Busby babes played,
I wasn't born, when they went to Belgrade.
I'll never know the feeling, of hearing that news as it broke,
I'll never know what it's like, to walk through Manchester without a word being spoke.
I only know the stories I have been told,
Memories that have grown old.
A team, that in Munich died,
Right across the country, tears were cried.
Byrne, Jones, Edwards, Taylor, Colman, Whelan, Pegg and Bent,
Playing in a style, that was heaven sent.
The great Frank Swift, 7 journalists and 4 members of the crew,
Crickmer, Whalley and Curry perished too,
But it's the boys, destined to rule football,
That we think about today, for victory they gave their all.
Sir Matt lay in a hospital bed, not knowing his boys fate,
He wasn't told the truth, the risk too great.
'Keep the flag flying Jimmy', he said with a sigh.
And that's what he did, because Manchester United will never die.
R.I.P. The Busby Babes

Rituals: The Essence of Beauty and Balance
For hundreds of years, Indonesian women, known for their healthy, youthful skin, have emphasized the role of beauty treatment rituals in recapturing and maintaining beauty and wellness. Ingredients commonly used range from skin-softening milk and rose petals, to spicy aromatics such as ginger and turmeric, applied onto the face and body to nourish and detoxify the skin.
Most rituals are relaxing, multi-step events lasting several hours, with traditional concoctions applied onto the face and body one after the other, each with its own targeted purpose and result. Treatment begins with a relaxing massage and then is followed by a choice of body scrubs, body wraps, masks, and a fresh yogurt rub. It concludes with a warm milk or fresh flower bath, utilizing special ingredients - like those used in Juara's products - to improve skin condition and tone.
As such value was placed on these rituals and treatments, only the finest ingredients are used for all women. The treatment process is especially sacred, sensual, and spiritual - woman is celebrated and her beauty is exalted. Today the tradition lives on. From the lush tropical paradise of Bali, to the ancient royal grounds of Kraton, home of past Indonesian kings and queens, to the bustling modern city of Jakarta, thousands of women still follow these rituals of beauty and health regularly. Juara brings to your home the spirit of tropical treatments: luxurious as well as effective skincare solutions with active botanicals native to the Indonesian archipelago.

Savoring Mediterranean
Restaurateur Lee Morcus is well-versed in the food business. Since 1992, Morcus and his father Kaiser have opened several successful Kaiser Restaurants in the Coachella Valley and beyond. Immersed at an early age in the restaurant and hotel businesses owned by his father, the heart and soul of Morcus' passion for food comes from his Lebanese roots and an idyllic childhood in rural southern Colorado.
Morcus' grandfather owned the only grocery store in Del Norte — a small, former mining town supply center which blossomed into a hub for agriculture and ranching. His grandfather also farmed hay and alfalfa and raised cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs, and every meal started with homemade Lebanese yogurt (laban), labneh (a soft cheese made from laban), feta cheese, olives, hummus and fresh Syrian bread.
Blending Morcus' and de Mélogue's culinary passions and high standards for organic, fresh ingredients, Figue stands out as a unique, engaging dining experience. Sophisticated and casual, the restaurant's design lends itself to intimate enclaves and open, large-party slab wood tables with high ceilings and contrasting light fixtures.
And then there's the food. In the spirit of the Mediterranean, everything on the menu may be shared. Beginning with cured meats like the legendary Jamon Iberico de Bellota or Creminelli wild boar salumi, and small plates such as kibbe (Lebanese lamb and bulgur wheat meatballs) with cucumber salad and hummus, or baked figs and prosciutto accompanied by house-made labne, kataifi (shredded, crunchy phyllo dough), pistachios and lavender honey, guests have the opportunity to try new and familiar dishes. And just for the record, de Mélogue is now curing Kuri Kuri pigs from Cook Pigs Ranch in Julian to make his own charcuterie.
Whenever possible, de Mélogue uses locally grown produce, sourcing ingredients as close to home as possible — the menu changes seasonally. "I think we're finding our core clientele are well traveled, and they know and enjoy food and are adventurous," says de Mélogue. "Health-wise, people care about what they're eating, just as we care about the quality of every ingredient we use."
Side dishes include creamy polenta with Gruyere, San Marzano tomato sauce and fried basil; Moroccan carrots glazed with orange butter and toasted cumin; and ratatouille. Desserts include Barcelona Liegeois — iced espresso, chocolate sorbet, Marcona almonds and salted caramel; pistachio olive oil and fig cake with pomegranate sorbet; Marcona chocolate bombe — Valrhona chocolate mousse, toasted almonds and chocolate sauce; and compote of organic cherries with lemon verbena ice cream and lemon puffs.
"It sounds corny, but it's food without compromise. We're committed to buying the freshest, organic, best of everything we can," says Morcus. "It's all about the guest experience and at the core of the guest experience is the food."
Figue offers occasional cooking classes with Executive Chef de Mélogue which generally include a three-course meal.
Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 5 to 11 p.m.
The Figue Bar: Sunday through Wednesday, 5 to 10 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, 4 p.m.to 12 a.m. Brunch is available on all major weekend holidays.

Easy to use detailed energy simulation program which performs hourly calculations to estimate annual energy usage for heating, cooling and water heating in residential buildings. In addition to its purpose as a compliance tool for California�s Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards, Micropas can be used to demonstrate that a home meets Energy Star requirements in California (15% above Title 24). The program includes a load calculation for use in sizing heating and cooling equipment.
Micropas6 has been in wide use in California since the early 1980s as a building energy code compliance tool and is growing in use elsewhere under the Model Energy Code. The last survey showed that about 75% of the single-family homes permitted in California used Micropas to determine code compliance. The program is mature, reliable and fast. Micropas6 is fully supported with top notch documentation and complete printouts. The program has a wide range of features to help automate and manage its use.
energy simulation, heating and cooling loads, residential buildings, code compliance, hourly
Micropas has passed the HERS Bestest Tier 1 tests.
Expertise Required
to read building plans and an understanding of how the energy efficiency of building features (e.g. U-factors, SHGC, R-values, SEER, etc.) are specified.
Over 2300 copies have been sold since 1983, mostly in California and other west coast states. Current users include builders, architects, engineers, mechanical contractors, utilities and energy consultants.
Although Micropas is a capable general purpose hourly simulation program for energy efficient residential buildings, the main use of the program is to document compliance with residential building energy codes such as the Model Energy Code and California's Title-24 Code.
Data is required describing each building thermal zone (15 maximum); opaque surfaces (walls, roofs, floors, 100 maximum); fenestration products (doors, windows, skylights, 100 maximum); thermal mass (slabs, etc., 25 maximum); HVAC equipment (heating, cooling, venting, thermostats) and water heating systems (domestic and hydronic heating).
Seven types of clearly formatted printouts are available including summary output, detailed building descriptions, HVAC sizing summary and assembly U-value calculations. For detailed oriented studies, yearly, monthly, daily and hourly table output is available including time-of-use and bin data. Annual and table outputs can be saved in delimited formats suitable for importing into other software for additional analysis and graphics. For studies including many runs, a parametric run generator and databases of run results are available.
Computer Platform
Can run on any DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, 98, XP, 2000 or Windows NT based computer. Can run on Macintosh using emulation software.
Programming Language
Microsoft Professional Basic.
Mature and reliable program used daily by hundreds of energy consultants in California. Good documentation and good support via toll free number. Can calculate annual energy usage and provide load (sizing) calculations at the same time. Able to manage multiple runs. Not as complex as DOE-2, not as simple minded as UA type compliance programs.
No detailed modeling of heating and cooling systems is provided--seasonal performance values like AFUEs and SEERs are used.

What is covered in the Music Placement Test?
The Music Placement Test covers the following areas: reading musical notation of pitches and rhythm, major and minor (natural, harmonic, melodic) scales, key signatures (major and minor), meter and rhythm, intervals and triads.
Can I retake the Music Placement Test?
Yes, but it is not recommended. If you decide to retake the test, you should study theory with a private instructor or self-study using textbooks and online resources before retaking the test.
What must I know and be able to do to be placed in Theory I?
Students should be able to:

- Take AP Music Theory if it is offered at your high school. AP test scores in music do not directly count for credit at Kent State Stark, but students who score highly on the AP test generally test into advanced sections of theory.
- Study on your own using a textbook or a web-based course. The same material used to prepare for an AP Music Theory test would prepare you well for our Music Placement Test.
I have little or no experience playing keyboard. Do I need to take a keyboard placement test?
No, you will be placed in beginning Piano Class when you meet with an advisor.
I can't read music or play an instrument. Can I enter the music program?
Yes, but it is unlikely that you will graduate in four years. Kent State Stark offers all the necessary preparation courses in music theory and performance to get you started.
What music classes can I take in the summer before starting in the fall?
- Music Rudiments - Depending on your background and Music Placement Test score, this class can prepare you to enter Theory I directly.
- Piano Class for Non-Music Majors - This class is actually private piano lessons in the summer. This can give you a "leg up" on your keyboard skills.
- Composition - This class allows you to work with an instructor and compose original music for acoustic or electronic instruments. Instructor permission is required. NOTE: This is not a necessary degree requirement for most music degrees.
- Applied Lessons - Applied lessons on an instrument or voice are given after audition approval.

Options include: piano/keyboard, guitar (classical or electric), bass (double bass or electric), voice, standard brass and woodwind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, horn, trumpet, trombone, euphonium, tuba) percussion or drum-set.
My primary instrument is violin, viola or cello. Can I take lessons? Can it be my primary instrument?
Maybe. Lessons for string instruments other than the double bass are ONLY offered at the Kent Campus. You will only be allowed to take lessons or to declare it as your primary instrument after a successful audition and acceptance into the music program through the string faculty on the Kent Campus.
How do I schedule my primary instrument audition?
Auditions take place on several dates throughout the year. For upcoming dates, visit www.stark.kent.edu/academics/depts/mus/placement.cfm.
What do I need to prepare for my instrumental or voice audition?
Every instrument/voice has different guidelines and requirements for the audition. For specifics, visit www.stark.kent.edu/academics/depts/mus/placement.cfm.
How do I choose which music classes to take?

At 5-foot-9 1/2, Thomas McIntyre weighed more than 434 pounds and his waist measured 74 inches. He was used to making jokes about his size.
McIntyre, a soccer fan, went to watch a game one day and he got stuck while trying to go through a turnstile into the stadium. Dozens of spectators looked on and laughed, and so did he, but he was worried.
"I was the typical jolly, fat bloke, always making fun of myself before anyone else had the chance to do it," said McIntyre, of Larne, Northern Ireland. "Deep down though, I'd reached the point where I thought about my mortality all the time and, the more I worried, the more I ate, to comfort myself, I suppose. It was a vicious cycle."
At the urging of a friend, McIntyre joined Slimming World, a U.K.-based weight-loss organization that now operates in the United States.
In February 2012, McIntyre began following the group's meal plan and started planning healthy, home-cooked meals while getting tips and recipes at group meetings. After the first week, he lost 10 ½ pounds and never looked back.
McIntyre lost a total of 246 pounds. Today, he weighs 188 pounds and things couldn't be better for the 43-year-old, married fresh food manager at Dunnes Stores, a retail chain.

summit. The last eruption, over 500 years ago, caused the snow to melt and unleashed an avalanche of mud and lava. Barú is now an inactive volcano.
Barú Volcano is surrounded by a tropical rainforest. The towns on its slopes (Boquete, Volcán, and Cerro Punta) have a high agricultural productivity thanks to the fertile volcanic soil and deposits from the Chiriquí and Caldera rivers that irrigate the land.
Climbing to the summit of Barú Volcano: You can select from several trails to climb the volcano, starting from either the Cerro Punta or Boquete side. The easiest and most practical is to approach it from Boquete, following a road (in quite bad conditions) to the summit. If you leave at around 1:00 a.m., you will reach the summit at dawn, when the sky is clear and affords a view of both seas. The altitude makes this a very strenuous hike that can easily take 13 to 15 hours roundtrip. Dress warmly and bring a good hooded rainjacket in case of rain.
- It is located in the province of Chiriquí, along the Pacific slope of the Talamanca Range.
How to arrive
- Car: From Panama City, take the Pan-American Highway in the direction of David - Chiriquí. Upon reaching the city of David, continue straight towards the border, and about 15 minutes after leaving the city limits you will find the entrance to the town of Concepción. Enter Concepción and continue to climb for another 25 minutes until reaching the town of Volcán. The park is accessible by car only from the towns of Boquete (on its eastern slopes) and Cerro Punta. It lies 33 kilometers from the highway.
- Bus:The buses to Cerro Punta, with stops at Volcán and Concepción, leave the terminal in David every half hour, reaching Volcán in one hour and 45 minutes
What to bring
- Light-weight clothing
- Warm jacket
- Water bottle
If you make the climb up at night, it is recommended to bring a flashlight with an extra set of batteries, winter gloves, and snacks. You will want to eat only very light meals to replenish your energy stores from the continuous exercise, as anything too heavy could exacerbate altitude sickness.
- Hiking
- Mountain climbing
- Canoeing or kayaking

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra.
Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than men are. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys.
Antibiotics are the typical treatment for a UTI. But you can take steps to reduce your chance of getting a UTI in the first place.
Urinary tract infections don't always cause signs and symptoms, but when they do they may include:
UTIs may be overlooked or mistaken for other conditions in older adults.
Each type of UTI may result in more-specific signs and symptoms, depending on which part of your urinary tract is infected.
Contact your doctor if you have signs and symptoms of a UTI.
Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defenses sometimes fail. When that happens, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract.
The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra.
Risk factors for urinary tract infections include:
When treated promptly and properly, lower urinary tract infections rarely lead to complications. But left untreated, a urinary tract infection can have serious consequences.
Complications of UTIs may include:
Your family doctor can treat most urinary tract infections. However, for frequent recurrences or a chronic kidney infection, you'll likely be referred to a doctor who specializes in urinary disorders (urologist) or kidney disorders (nephrologist) for an evaluation.
Before your appointment, make a list of medications or supplements you're taking and any allergies you have. This information helps your doctor select the best treatment.
Write down questions to ask your doctor, such as:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor will likely ask you several questions, including:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose urinary tract infections include:
Doctors typically use antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections. Which drugs are prescribed and for how long depend on your health condition and the type of bacterium found in your urine.
Drugs commonly recommended for simple UTIs include:
Usually, symptoms clear up within a few days of treatment. But you may need to continue antibiotics for a week or more. Take the entire course of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor to ensure that the infection is completely gone.
For an uncomplicated UTI that occurs when you're otherwise healthy, your doctor may recommend a shorter course of treatment, such as taking an antibiotic for one to three days. But whether this short course of treatment is adequate to treat your infection depends on your particular symptoms and medical history.
Your doctor may also prescribe a pain medication (analgesic) that numbs your bladder and urethra to relieve burning while urinating. One common side effect of urinary tract analgesics is discolored urine — orange or red.
If you experience frequent UTIs, your doctor may make certain treatment recommendations, such as:
For a severe UTI, you may need treatment with intravenous antibiotics in a hospital.
There's some indication, though it hasn't been proved, that cranberry juice may have infection-fighting properties and drinking it daily may help prevent urinary tract infections. Studies have shown the greatest effect in women who have frequent UTIs. Studies involving children and older adults have had mixed results.
It's not clear how much cranberry juice you'd need to drink or how often you'd need to drink it to have an effect.
If you enjoy drinking cranberry juice and feel it helps you prevent UTIs, there's little harm in continuing to drink it, but watch the calories. For most people, drinking cranberry juice is safe, but some people report an upset stomach or diarrhea.
However, don't drink cranberry juice if you're taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin, because this may lead to bleeding.
Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics clear the infection. Follow these tips:
