Serenade in Satin™ Barbie® Doll
Dressed for a grand occasion, Serenade in Satin™ Barbie® looks absolutely exquisite in an elegant evening ensemble made of rich satin with a soft, subtle lustre. Her slim, strapless gown has a pleated bustier on top, and long, lean-fitting skirt below. Intricate ribbon rosettes, floral embroidery and golden beads swirl softly on the front of her skirt. Her elaborate pale blue coat, with wide portrait collar and deep cuffs, flares dramatically into a sweeping train, fully lined in pale yellow taffeta. From her beautiful blonde hair to her fashionable spike heels she is the essence of Barbie® doll glamour.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

A psychiatric evaluation will look at symptoms and when they occur, as well as what impact they have on family and work relationships.
Mental health care can be expensive even for people with health insurance. Here are ideas on ways to save.
Families, spouses, or friends are often the first to suspect that their loved one is challenged by feelings, behaviors, and/or environmental conditions that cause them to act disruptive, rebellious, or sad.
Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. In particular, depressive illnesses tend to occur along with substance abuse and anxiety disorders.
When your life seems to be spinning out of control, it's OK to seek professional mental health help.
Team members may include a child and adolescent psychiatrist, a psychologist, a social worker, and a psychiatric nurse.
What distinguishes mental illness from problems of daily living is its severity or persistence over time. Mental illness includes mental disorders of thought, mood or behavior. People with a mental illness may have great difficulty with daily routines and tasks, responsibilities of family, work or school, or personal relationships.
How do you know when your emotions are of the everyday sort, or when you could benefit from seeing a therapist?
Mental health support groups offer support, understanding, and helpful information to people struggling with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other conditions.
In older people, it's easy to mistake memory problems for the everyday forgetfulness that some people experience as they grow older.
In a mutual support group, people just like you face similar ordeals and challenges.
Talk therapy helps people gain insight into and resolve their problems through verbal exchanges with the therapist.

Savory Marinade for Chicken, Pork, or Beef
(This makes enough marinade for 6-8 pieces of meat; I've had this recipe so long I don't remember where I found it!)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 T full fat mayo (do not use Miracle Whip, it has added sugar)
1-2 T Worcestershire sauce (I used 1 T Worcestershire sauce for chicken but when I used it on pork or beef I increased it to 2 T.)
1 T lemon juice, preferably fresh squeezed
1 tsp. Veg-Sal or salt
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1 T Poultry Seasoning
1 T garlic puree or garlic powder
1 T sweet paprika, preferably Hungarian paprika (It comes in a tin instead of a jar)
1/2 T onion powder
1 tsp. thyme (optional)
No matter which types of meat I'm using, I like to make shallow score marks on the surface of the meat to help the flavor penetrate. Put the chicken, pork, or beef in a Ziploc bag or a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour over just enough marinade to cover the meat, then let it marinate in the fridge for 6-8 hours or longer.
To cook, preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium heat. (You can hold your hand there for only about 3 seconds at that heat.) Grill meat 10-20 minutes until chicken or pork feels firm and is lightly browned (or until desired doneness for beef), turning a few times to get grill marks.
Extra marinade will keep in the fridge for at least a week (or maybe longer, but I've never managed to keep it around for more than a week.)

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Sky gazers at CU-Boulder's Fiske Planetarium are getting better, clearer and deeper views. And not just of astronomy anymore. The planetarium has been upgraded, transforming it into a digital IMAX-like theater that's open to the public every Saturday and Sunday with a variety of programs including shows for children. In addition to space odysseys and laser shows -- longtime favorites of audiences -- movies are now part of the Fiske lineup.
Using data from a NASA satellite, a team of scientists led by the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico and involving the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered a massive particle accelerator in the heart of one of the harshest regions of near-Earth space, a region of super-energetic, charged particles surrounding the globe known as the Van Allen radiation belts.
University of Colorado Boulder astronomers targeting one of the brightest quasars glowing in the universe some 11 billion years ago say "sideline quasars" likely teamed up with it to heat abundant helium gas billions of years ago, preventing small galaxy formation.
With the flip of a switch, a pair of instruments designed and built by the University of Colorado Boulder and flying onboard twin NASA space probes have forced the revision of a 50-year-old theory about the structure of the radiation belts that wrap around the Earth just a few thousand miles above our heads.
University of Colorado Boulder students will have another four years at the controls of NASA's Kepler mission, launched in 2009 to hunt down Earth-like rocky planets in other solar systems and which has succeeded in spectacular fashion.
The work of a talented group of University of Colorado Boulder students and staff has made it to the big screen. The really big screen -- in fact, a more than 20-meter dome.
An astronomy team led by the University of Colorado Boulder using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has zeroed in on a wild intergalactic construction project -- a cluster of early galaxies just starting to assemble only 600 million years after the Big Bang.
In 1977, Jimmy Carter was sworn in as president, Elvis died, Virginia park ranger Roy Sullivan was hit by lightning a record seventh time and two NASA space probes destined to turn planetary science on its head launched from Florida.
Responding to a national crisis, CU-Boulder is putting a fresh face on how science and math courses are taught. One of those faces is Sarah Berger, who likes teaching and teaches well. But she is neither a faculty member nor a graduate-student teaching assistant. She is a sophomore in biochemistry and a learning assistant— or LA.
As she explains, students are comfortable with her because "they know that I don't have all the answers either, so they don't feel like I'll think their questions are silly or dumb."
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

This past weekend, we celebrated our 7 year old grandson's birthday. He loves color, so we had a VERY colorful tablescape.
Have y'all seen these plastic bags/vases?
This is how it looks before you fill it with water. After use, I just dump the water, let it dry a bit, and store it flat until I want to use it again. Who thinks up these things, and why can't I think up something that is going to make money?
I ordered this birthday style and another style from a sale flyer from One Kings Lane.
They can be ordered from Say it with Vases.
Each gift he opened was his favorite – for the five seconds it took to rip open the next package!
I am linking to Tablescape Thursday at Between Naps on the Porch.
Thanks for coming by my little blog. I hope you'll come back Friday to link up to Favorite Things. laurie

Nov 8
Some 18,000 Connecticut Light and Power customers were still without power midday Tuesday, most in the Simsbury area.
About one-third of Simsbury was without electricity, as was a quarter of Avon and Farmington, and many in Granby, Canton, Bloomfield and West Hartford.
Problems persisted in the north-central part of the state as well, where close to 24 percent of Somers was dark, 16 percent in Stafford and almost 10 percent of Ellington.
There was more tough talk aimed at Connecticut Light & Power on Monday, nine days after the snowstorm that wreaked havoc on trees and power lines and plunged more than 800,000 power company customers into darkness.
During a late afternoon press conference at the state Capitol, Gov. Dannel P. Malloysaid CL&P would be held accountable for its response to the storm and the frustratingly slow pace in restoring power to hard-hit communities in the Farmington Valley, the Tolland-Vernon area and West Hartford.
CL&P said it would again miss a goal of restoring power to 99 percent of its customers by Monday night, but said all would be restored by Wednesday night. The company missed a 99 percent restoration goal Sunday.
Throughout CL&P's service area, lights continued to come back on Monday as more than 1,000 crews cleared tree debris, repair damaged power lines and equipment, and reconnected service lines to houses and businesses. The company said that nearly 2,700 crews continued restoration work Monday night.
Meanwhile, cities and towns around the state prepared polling places for municipal elections, which are going on as planned Tuesday.
Secretary of the State Denise Merrill said she has been in frequent communication with local election officials and utility company managers.
"Our message all along to the more than 160 cities and towns has been 'follow the election laws, do what you can to preserve as much normalcy as possible to cut down voter confusion, and be practical,''' Merrill said at a noon press briefing. "There is no perfect solution to this particular Election Day. The laws are designed to be flexible under certain circumstances, and this is definitely one of them.''
Nine communities — Avon, Bloomfield, Newington, Plymouth, Simsbury, Somers, South Windsor, Stafford and Vernon — have shifted at least one polling location. In some cases, the polling place has no power; in other cases, it is being used as an emergency shelter or warming center. The full list of changes to municipal polling places is on the Secretary of the State's website.
One particularly hard-hit town, Farmington, went to court Monday to delay the election, but a judge denied the town's request, said Av Harris, a spokesman in the secretary of the state's office.
West Hartford, which was also badly impacted by the storm and its aftermath, is not changing any of its polling places at this point, Merrill said.
Malloy said Monday that an outside firm's examination of CL&P's handling of the storm would provide key information that state officials could then used to hold those responsible accountable.
The governor said CL&P failed to meet the "industry standard" for performance during and after the storm, which hit the state with wet, heavy snow Oct. 29.
"But I don't even have to hold them to an industry standard," Malloy said. "I'll hold them against their own standard. They failed. They told us that they were going to have completed something [restoration of 99 percent of customers by Sunday night] and they failed to do it. So if they have their own standard, I suspect they failed an industry standard by even more."
CL&P President Jeff Butler, in a press conference Monday evening at the State Armory, pledged to have all customers restored to power by midnight Wednesday. That's 11 days after the storm hit the state.
Butler said he also welcomed an examination of his company's response to the storm and said it would find the company did things right in some areas and fell short in others.
Crews have been massed to work in the hardest-hit areas, Butler said. In the Farmington Valley and West Hartford, 597 crews were at work. In the Tolland-Vernon area, 661 crews were working, Butler said.

Comments about CedarCide Original Pest Repellent Spray Refill Quart:
I have been using this for several years and it is fantastic. I have not found it to repel fleas after it dries on the dog (I now use the Vetri Repel before every trip outside for that)but if any get through your defenses this will kill them on contact on the dog, floors, rugs, furniture, etc. Kills other things too. I was having a problem with little ants coming in around my kitchen window last summer, put poison out and let them carry back to nest but new waves kept coming. Finally I sprayed the Best Yet around the window frames. It killed the ones there and haven't seen another ant since. I renew it around the window every couple of months.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Aug
from Bennington, vt
The strong smell (which my family says is like a hamsters cage) is too much for my cats, so I can't say how it works for pets. Despite the oils damaging materials it is effective at keeping away Mosquitos and flies. I like that is all natural, but my family doesn't like the smell.

Outstanding Product. Miracles do happen
By Manacotti Mike
from Iowa, USA
Have heard this product advertised for years. I finally ordered my first quart bottle. Used this product on 3 different dogs. 1 dog had a severe flea problem the other 2 dogs were not as bad. Sprayed the dogs until wet and rubbed it in very well the first time. THE FLEAS JUST FELL OFF DEAD!~ I could not believe what I watching. The product even cleared up dry skin patches and the hair started growing back. I am no longer yelling at my dogs to quit scratching anymore. Now, all I do is spot spray them whenever they start to scratch. This product performs better than advertised. I have already ordered my second bottle. Don't let your dogs suffer from scratching. This stuff really works. I recommend this spray to anyone I see with a scratching dog.

wonderful product, instant results
By landlords other half
from James Creek, PA
My dogs cover a lot of ground in a days time, too much to spray to get rid of the fleas. We sprayed our dogs and it killed the fleas on contact instantly, unfortunately, when they went outside, new fleas got on them again. It is expensive for my budget but is worth it since none of the other products on the market even came close. And this seems to be good for their skin also, has the smell of cedar not the discusting smell that some products have.

All Natural CedarCide Works
By Jo
from Tallahassee, Florida
We have been battling a terrible flea problem in our backyard and side patio for three years. Despite our best efforts to keep our pets bathed and with flea protection, we couldn't get ahead of the problem. Last year alone we spent close to $1,000 on products for our pets and to have a professional service spray our yard with chemicals repeatedly. This year was by far the worst infestation. We purchased an entire set up of the Cedar Oil products and after the first application we saw results... Literally within fifteen minutes all fleas were dead. According to the directions, we reapplied four days later and have not had any more fleas. I recommend this to all our friends and neighbors as it poses no harm or threat to people or animals and has no offensive odor. I can not recommend this product highly enough...It works. It's great.

Classified of the week: Bond's* DB5!
*Well sort of. Beautifully maintained replica of iconic 007 motor is up for grabs
Posted: 25 Jul 2013
Admit it, as soon as you saw the image above, you started humming the James Bond theme tune, didn't you? You're only human, after all. With that in mind, may we present to you an icon of British cinema: it's James Bond's DB5!
Well, it's not actually his DB5 as used in the 007 canon of films, but a very-well maintained replica, now being offered by Sussex Sports Cars, and featuring some nifty little Bond-spec gadgets you might be interested in.
Gerry Wadman, representing the sale, told TG.com he bought this 1964 DB5 from its previous owner, 'an elderly gentlemen', around 18 years ago for £65,000, and it was this elderly gentleman in question who commissioned the build. Why? Apparently so he could take his grandson out for a drive in 'Bond's' DB5. Heart melted yet?
The build was undertaken by Aston Martin agents Chapman Spooner of Walsall, who installed replica front machine guns, a replica rear bullet-proof shield, revolving number plates and tyre 'slashers'. Suffice to say, you can't actually drive with these gadgets on show - they're for static display only.
Gerry told TG.com he reckons the build to 'Bond' spec cost somewhere in the region of £20,000, and was completed a couple of years before he got his hands on it. He sold it to a Japanese doctor who was mad about James Bond (obviously), and we're told that over the past 18 years, every time 007 reappeared on the silver screen, this Japanese doctor would rent out his DB5 to film companies wanting it as a promotional tool.
It's been maintained fastidiously by Aston Martin Japan since 1995, and has been treated to a high-quality repaint, and a re-trim in navy blue leather. All the chrome has been replated, and the brakes have just been subject to a massive overhaul. Underneath, the heart remains the same, so it's still a 4.0-litre straight-six engine, powering the rear wheels.
Now, comes the price. Considering the actual James Bond DB5 - as used in Goldfinger - sold for £2.6m, this one is an absolute bargain: yours for just £375,000. It's covered less than 5,000 miles since the Bond-overhaul, and if you're convinced this is your motor, Gerry will fly you out to Osaka, Japan (where the car is currently based) for free.
A fitting tribute, don't you think, to Aston Martin's centenary year? Click here for TG.com's report from the massive Kensington Park Gardens party, here for an interview with AM design chief Marek Reichman, then head below for the classified.

Rain Lilies for my rain gardens
Rain gardens serve two main purposes: 1) to capture or slow down rainwater runoff and allow it to percolate through the soil or be absorbed by water-loving plants; and 2) to prevent soil erosion from fast moving water. The runoff comes from gutter downspouts, French drain systems, or from impervious surfaces such as driveways and roads. Of course, a rain garden with its water tolerant plants will also look better than a drainage ditch.
Over the past few weeks, I've installed four different rain gardens. Two are at the outflows from French drain systems and two are catching the outflow from downspouts. Two locations had significant erosion problems. When the hard rains came, I watched the water flows and made some adjustments in the rock and plant placements. More adjustments and more plantings may be necessary as we go through the first few years of the gardens.
I started with the easiest project where a downspout emptied directly into the lawn. Not much erosion here, but the lawn was really soggy after every downpour and the plastic deflector was tipped toward the house creating mosquito-attracting puddles after each rain. But this rain garden was mostly for aesthetics. I removed about 18 inches of lawn, reset the runoff tray, and set in some river stones over a bed of gravel. This location receives lots of sun, so I planted two sun-tolerant ferns: Ebony Spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron) and Netted Chain Fern (Woodwardia areolata). I also planted Rain Lilies (Zephyranthus atamasco) alongside the rocks. I added some moss between the rocks to soften their appearance and make the installation look less new.
Note for non-Florida readers: If your house has a basement, locating a rain garden this close to the foundation would not be prudent. You would use a French drain to take water away from your foundation and install your rain garden so the draining water will not end up in your basement.
The ferns grow in great mats in the woods along the drainage gully from our pond to the lake. I found the rain iilies in a drainage ditch not far from my house. When removing plants from an existing population, take them from the middle overcrowded areas, then replace the divot like a golfer. Leave the edges of the population alone so that it may expand naturally. Do not remove these threatened plants from roadside ditches or other public property.(Update: those upright ferns are not spleenworts but the invasive tuberous swordfern (Nephrolepis cordifolia). I've removed them from this rain garden and continue to knock them back in the wooded area. Also see Rain Garden Expansion.)
The two outflows from French drains located at the top of the drainage gully from the pond to the lake had caused significant erosion. The first step was to fill in the hole under each pipe and then create a smooth path for the water from the pipes to the stream using the rocks. The idea here was not so much to slow the water, as to keep it from further eroding the bank until it reached the bottom of the slope. At the bottom I created a wider area where water can pool before it flows into the drainage ditch.
Because of the shade and because these areas are hidden away, I didn't plant Rain Lilies. In addition to the Spleenworts and Netted Chain Ferns, I also planted Cinnamon Ferns (Osmunda cinnamomea) and Virginia Chain Ferns (Woodwardia virginica). These two large ferns look almost alike except for the cinnamon stick fertile fronds of the Cinnamon Ferns that are evident in the spring. Of course, here in Florida, I noticed that they are produced in the fall, too. Double your pleasure.
The last rain garden is out by the pond at the outflow from the French drain system in the front of the house. This one needed the least amount of work because Cinnamon Ferns, grasses, and a small holly were a lready growing in front of the pipe.
I put rocks around the pipe and between the existing plants. Then toward the bottom of the garden I created a pooling area where I planted more Cinnamon Ferns and several bunches of unidentified rushes.
A rush looks like a coarse, spiky kind of grass. The stems are round, but the flowers don't form at the top of a stem like a grass. They sprout from side of the stem near the top. I found quite a few rushes growing in low areas of the lawn. Since we didn't mow all winter, they were conspicuous amongst the grasses with their upright, darker green stems. Rushes love soggy or boggy areas, so I dug them out of the lawn. The ones I didn't use for the rain gardens were planted along the edge of the pond.
The runoff from our cement driveway did not require a rain garden because it is directed into a forested area where Cinnamon Ferns, Red Maples (Acer rubrum), Sweet Gums (Liquidambar styraciflua) and Southern Bayberries (Myrica cerifera) tolerate and absorb the standing water. Runoff from driveways and roads contain oil and other fluids that leak from vehicles, so it's important that this runoff not go directly into our waterways. Let it percolate through the soil so by the time it reaches the aquifer, it's cleaner.
Rainwater is not a waste product, but a valuable resource.
Rain gardens and rain barrels, which I talked about last time, are two simple ways that everyone can help to save water and reduce the impact of storm water runoff on our waterways.

your boy renaldo sydney has to be up there right? His stats are real good every game too.
here is some high lights of Derrick favors in a game where he had 42 points, 20 boards and 12 blocks. Men amongst boys. Its almost funny to watch.
Xavier Henry down in Oklahoma is legit and tops on ESPN. He deserves a look.
Henry even survived a car accidnet. That's toughness right there.
U know Cherokee i love Renardo and he puts up big time stats agsinst the best teams in the country but i think Favors has a better work ethic and attitude. As for the kid in the car accident that is pure glory and good story
Good story or not he's still the nation's top recruit. He's got range on his shot and can get above the rim. He's a different player than Favors but he's still great. Watch him play.
I have to give the west coast some lovin... my man Renardo Sidney
That video is great. With the way it started with him outlined in colors and all, I was hoping for and expecting when he blocked a shot some lady saying, "fabulous" and then when he dunked a Barry White like voice saying, "Super bad". I wanted something like that, but it was pretty funny as far as high school players highlights videos go.
Thats west side bball at its finest. Yet the producer of the video deserves some props

Phoenix Suns
Suns coach Alvin Gentry: Only we can fix ourselves
The Phoenix Suns have struggled the entire season, but the majority of their woes has come away from home.
The Suns have lost their last ten road games, and hold a 2-15 record away from US Airways Center.
Wednesday night doesn't get any easier for Alvin Gentry and his team, as the Suns travel to Boston to face an emotional Celtics team on a three-game winning streak.
The coach joined Arizona Sports 620's Burns & Gambo show Wednesday afternoon, and explained his team has the ability to put it together, but only they have the power to turn it around.
"The only people that can play their way out of this thing is us," Gentry emphasized. "And we've got to do it collectively as a group."
The Suns' 108-99 loss in Milwaukee to the Bucks Tuesday night showed signs of progress on offense, but the team still failed to put together a full 48 minutes.
"We did play well," Gentry said. "We've had great looks and just hadn't been able to get them in the basket. We just have to find a way to maintain."
Proficiency seems to be a killer for the Suns' momentum at the end of games, and Gentry expressed an understanding of how that has hurt his team's chances.
"We just have to be able to execute at the end of the game," he said. "We have not been able to come up with big shots, or big baskets, or big rebounds. That has been the biggest Achilles heel for us."
After being one of the top three-point shooting teams in the NBA over the last few years, the Suns currently rank 28th out of 30 teams in three-point percentage with a mark of 32.9%.
Gentry says with the absence of forward Channing Frye and his ability to spread the court, someone needs to step up.
"The guy made a ton of threes for us over the last three seasons," Gentry said. "We need that weapon in order to open up the floor."
Gentry and his staff continue to look for viable options for combinations on the court to boost the Suns' performance.
"We have to keep searching as coaches to find the combination that's going to be best for us," he said. "All the emphasis has got to be placed on performing on the floor."
With the recent reports of the Suns looking for trade options, Gentry said he's going move forward with who he has for now.
"Until that happens, we have who we have," Gentry said. "We have to take these guys and do the very best we can with them.
"We have to find a way to dig ourselves out of this."

Spy agencies have always used alluring women to coax secrets from smitten men, setting so-called "honeytraps." The famed Mata Hari was executed in France in 1917 on charges of spying for Germany during WWI. Some of her alleged sexual conquests were French and German officials, with whom she traded secrets. Hari was later proven to be a German agent, but may have been a double agent.

That hunk of rock in the night sky, often referred to by its technical name "the moon," orbits the Earth from 240,000 miles away. That's an astoundingly vast distance by most standards, but worthless bits of information like that wouldn't even impress the ladies at an MIT chess tournament. It does, however, put a little perspective on the feats achieved by Bryan Grove's '74 Malibu. In the 34 years it has been in his family, the valiant A-body has logged 450,000 miles on the clock, almost enough to complete a round trip to the moon or escape the screech of your mother-in-law's voice. To plagiarize those old Chevy ads, this sucker's held together "like a rock."
Not content to bask in past commuting triumphs, Bryan has transformed the Malibu into a blown 515 rear-wheel horsepower street/strip beast on the cusp of solid 11-second e.t.'s. Through the years, man and machine have developed quite a bond, and have literally grown old together.
The tale starts in 1975, when Bryan's dad purchased the car in practically new condition off of a friend who couldn't keep up with the payments. Six years later, Bryan rode home from the hospital as a newborn in the Malibu, and the duo has been inseparable ever since. "As far back as I can remember, my family was always driving around together in the Malibu. The car served as a daily driver for 22 years, and even had a trailer hitch on it at one point so it could tow our camping trailer all over the country," Bryan recollects. "There aren't too many driving memories I have from childhood that don't involve this car. It even had springs off of a 454 El Camino at one point so it could haul all our stuff without bottoming out. When my dad bought the car, little did he know it would still be around 35 years later looking better than ever."
Perhaps even more impressive than the 450,000 miles the Malibu has logged is the fact that 350,000 of them were with the original two-barrel 350 small-block and TH350 trans. "Other than routine maintenance and oil changes every 3,000 miles, this car never required a major repair when it was a commuter. The flexplate let go once, but that's the only thing that's ever broken," he says. Bryan's dad tossed him the keys when he turned 16, and he's been dumping every spare nickel and dime at the project ever since. "I was in love with that 150hp motor, and drove the car all through high school. At first, my dad and I spent a lot of time trying to reverse the havoc two young kids unleashed on the interior for all those years. Fortunately, since the car spent almost its entire life in Arizona, rust has never had a chance to attack the metal."
With a fresh coat of paint and a revamped interior, Bryan could finally focus on upping the power ante. The stock mill was yanked and replaced with a GM Performance Parts 350 crate motor, and he quickly tallied another 50,000 miles on the Malibu before retiring it from daily driving duty in 2001. For the first time in its existence, the car was driven just occasionally over the next seven years, and didn't see much progress in the way of mods. That all changed rather abruptly, however, after Bryan started hanging out at the dragstrip again. Out came the 350, and in went a new GMPP ZZ383 crate motor. It features a forged crank, powdered metal connecting rods, hypereutectic 9.6:1 pistons, GM Fast Burn aluminum cylinder heads, and a 222/230-at-0.050 hydraulic roller cam. Rated at 425 hp, the 383 is a stout combo right out of the box, but Bryan took it one step further with the addition of a 150hp hit of nitrous, a set of long-tube headers, and dual 3-inch pipes with Flowmaster mufflers. Despite weighing in at a hefty 4,140 pounds, the Malibu ran a best e.t. of 12.35 at 117 mph. "After taking a short break, I was hooked again," he says. "Ever since then, all I've been thinking about day and night is how I can make my car faster. It's like I'm 16 years old all over again."

HONG KONG (July 10, 2009) – The Hong Kong SAR Government and The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) today applaud the Legislative Council's approval of the financial arrangement relating to the Hong Kong Disneyland (HKDL) expansion plan. Three new themed areas will be added to HKDL, bringing the total number of attractions, entertainment, and interactive experiences at the resort to over 100 by 2014 and further establishing Hong Kong as one of the world's premier international family tourist destinations.
Financial Secretary, Mr. John C. Tsang commented that, "HKDL, as an important tourism infrastructure, has brought substantial economic benefits to Hong Kong. With the proposed expansion and realignment of the financial arrangements, we believe that HKDL would rise up to the keen competition in the region on the tourism front, attracting more family visitors from round the world. This will generate streams of benefits to our tourism and related sectors, further reinforcing the tourism industry's contribution as a major pillar of Hong Kong's economy."
"We are pleased that the financial agreement relating to the HKDL expansion has been approved and we are eager to begin work on this exciting new chapter for Hong Kong Disneyland," said Jay Rasulo, Chairman of Walt Disney Parks & Resorts. "This substantial investment represents our continued commitment to and confidence in Hong Kong Disneyland and solidifies our partnership with the Hong Kong government helping assure the resort's long-term success."

Is Navy laser a game changer?
Tested on San Diego ship, laser weapon heads to Arabian Sea
Sending a message about superior technology despite tight purse strings, the U.S. Navy this week unveiled a laser weapon that will go on a warship in the Arabian Sea next year.
The Navy said the laser can defend an American ship against incoming speed boats and aerial drones for $1 a shot, with unlimited "ammunition" from the ship's power supply.
Seemingly a combination of Star Wars and Star Trek, the Navy's solid-state laser beam is the diameter of a dime and can be set to "stun" or "kill."
At the low end, the high-energy beam will "dazzle" an aerial drone's sensors, blinding it. At maximum power, the laser can send a drone down in flames, as the Navy showed in a video of tests performed off the San Diego coast last summer.
"I wouldn't be surprised in a few years if you and I look back and we go, 'That maybe was the start of a new age of warfare,' " said Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder, chief of naval research.
Defense analysts expressed some skepticism about a laser's effectiveness at sea, where rain and fog may play havoc with a beam of light. The biggest punch might come from the laser's value as a symbol of military power.
"It's not a perfect magic bullet, but most of the time it probably works," said Norman Friedman, a physicist and author of books on the military. "Even better, until somebody actually comes up against it, it's really scary."
A young active-duty Navy officer said weather isn't the only challenge.
In a blog called "Lasers: Not So Fast" on the U.S. Naval Institute website, Lt. j.g. Matthew Hipple questioned whether the laser's power needs will affect the running of the ship. He also opined that the laser beam may be hard to track and correct if not immediately on target.
"It is important for us to realize the tactical and technological limitations of our new system before rushing too quickly to rely on them too often," wrote Hipple, who is executive officer of a Navy coastal patrol ship crew.
John Pike of Global Security said the range of the laser couldn't be much more than a mile, limiting its use to last-ditch defense of the ship.
Still, "There are interesting things one could do with a medium-power laser at short ranges," Pike said this week. "Possibly you could assist an Iranian Revolutionary Guardsman in a speed boat to embrace martyrdom."
The Navy's openness about deploying the laser to the Arabian Sea aboard the redesignated amphibious ship Ponce is seen by some analysts as a message to Iran, which in recent months has stepped up its criticism of the West over trade embargoes.
One of Iran's naval tactics is to use a group of small, fast boats to "swarm" a larger warship.
"If I were the Iranians, I would not be a happy camper," Friedman said.
The Navy spent $32 million to build the prototype laser weapon system, or LaWS, which fit easily on the rear of the San Diego destroyer Dewey during last year's tests.

|Red Star Yeast Introduces PLATINUM
A Rising Star is Born
In 2001 the Lesaffre Group of France acquired the 100–year–old American company Red Star Yeast. Lesaffre is the world's largest yeast manufacturer with production facilities in more than 20 countries around the globe. Lesaffre was founded in 1853 and has grown to be a leader in bread–making yeast and yeast extracts. The company, Lesaffre Yeast Corporation, is the North American subsidiary of the global Lesaffre. The success of Lesaffre is credited to its technical innovation, quality, and reliability, with a passion for bringing superior yeast products to the baking industry. In North America there are three yeast production facilities; two in the USA and a third facility in Mexico. Lesaffre owns and operates the plant in Mexico; in fact, it is one of the newest, state–of–the–art yeast plants in North America. It is run under the same strict quality control and sanitation procedures as our US plants.
And, now for the 1st time in a generation, comes a new exciting product from the Red Star yeast family. DRUMROLL PLEASE…
Please Welcome PLATINUM, by Red Star − Professional quality baking made simple at home!
The new Red Star PLATINUM yeast is designed as a superior baking yeast, to take the fear out of baking. "PLATINUM is simple to use. So forgiving it takes the intimidation out of baking with yeast!" Why? According to Red Star:
KosherEye used PLATINUM yeast to make our Sweet Yom Tov Challah recipe. The results were awesome! The rise, the dough handling, and the taste made a challah that we look forward to serving at our Rosh Hashanah table. (Yes, who could resist, we included a tasting sample in our batch)
Linda Nelsen, consumer relations specialist Lesaffre Yeast Corporation, shares several important yeast baking tips – very helpful to insure successful yeast dough results.
For all that you "Knead" to know about Red Star PLATINUM yeast visit their website.

Is this better than previous versions, I've personally always found Kubuntu to be a bit buggy? I get the impression that Ubuntu's team don't show it a lot of love.

Since I just shipped my new Acer in for service due to broken USB ports, I figured I'd Give Kubuntu a try since it seemed to be getting such positive reviews. since I only had the Win8 RP on this older laptop.
Here's my initial impressions, and remember I'm writign this from a new/regular user perspective who might now have that much base knowledge so while the stuff I might complain anbout is trivial to me, I consider it bad design by default
So I installed it through WuBi for ease, just because I wanted it to be easy and didn't want to look up my thumbdrives. this resulted in some weirdness, where I get some NTLDR WUBI errors during startup of Kubuntu, butit doesn't affect loading. also the first Kubuntu startup where it finishes the install and then reboots took very long and almost seemed to hang.
It integrates with the win8 loader, which of course means it takes twice as long to start up into Kubuntu, but works ok, not like I reboot a lot anyway.
Now onto actual first impressions
The first thing I though when I got the grey background with a cursor on was "Oh, that reminds me of changing to custom 'cool' cursors back in the win98 days, along with litestep". Not necessarily a bad thing, but it seems to take the default cursors a lot into the style over substance direction.
Finally into a working desktop,, I decide to check out the package manager that was bragged about, well first I had to look to actually find it hidden in an illogical sub menu. Hardly a good choice for the main method of installing new apps to the OS. should be a lot more prominent, I don't see casual users dropping into this or knowing what a package manager even is.
So Muon then. If this is what the linux peopel say is what Windows 8 is copying, then Microsoft is running one hell of a copy business. Sure I mean it does it's job, and for me, again, it works fine. But a casual user isn't going to find their way in this thing. It's made by coders for coders, there's no UX or anythign behind it. Linux needs to work on a better user front end for installign apps for regular users to compete with nicer UX and categorisations systems. Granted I have used other(ubuntu) package managers and know it can be far worse, and while I haven't tried it, I suspect the Ubuntu one store thing is probably working on some of this though I'm not sure, if that's includes apps or just music and crap.
Well of to get some internet then. load up ReKonq, ooh oops, haven't connected to the wlan yet. So I clcik the icon and click my network. So far so good. Then up comes this godwaful UI with another UX hell. If my mother was to connect to a wireless network on this thing, I'd have to spend 5 minutes over her shoulder explainign where to write her password, or 15+ minutes on the phone. It's not bad, it's just another design by coders disaster. they should have just popped up a window asking for just the password. and I know they can do this better, both Ubuntu and Mind and most other distro do this better. theyhave a good start, they just seemed to have given up on the UX halfway through.
Of course this brought me to my other pet hate about linux the xxx Wallet. OMG I HATE IT! no I don't need to be asked about adding things to my wallet every time I do something to add a password, and I definitiely don't want to write my password every time I do. I just want a "Do you want to save this network" question with a simple yes and no answer. The wallet is the worst idea they ever though up, or rather the implementation of it is, the wallet itself is good enough I guess, if it was just a 100 times less annoying.
Well by now I'm figuring I need to take some notes for this mini refiew before I forget it all since it's taking some time to get to neowin. so I go to "start" (oh btw, the windows key don't bring up the "start" menu. bad design/choice), and write note and get up KNotes, which is just a sticky note app, not what I wanted. I try notepad. nope nothing, so I just go with write and launch writer and use that. Later I discover Kate dug into some utility sub menu. obvisouly index context search isn't something Kubuntu thought they needed.
So back to ReKonq, hmm still not loading any webpages. a bit back and forth, switching between my 2.4 and 5 ghz networks. nope nothing. well that's weird. Eventually it worked after restarting ReKonq, which seems weird I should need to restart an app just for it to be able to use a network I connected to. Not an issue I've seen on either windows or other linux distro's for many many years.
Writing notes I notice I have the wrong keyboard layout and can't do '. more fiddling around, and I eventually locate the keyboard settings under system settigns and input devices. My opinion is that Keyboard settings should be on the front page in the "control panel"/System settings, but at leats unlike Ubuntu Kubuntu has a decent "control panel". of course changing the layout brings is to the worst example of UX deasign by coders so far.this is definitiely not something a regular user wants to be doing. Easy enough for me, but my mother or other casuals, wouldn't want to go there. Never midn the fact I should have been asked about the keyboard during setup, or it should have picked up the NOB keyboard during WUBI setup.
Kubuntu seems to suffer a lot from this, you have nice window dressign on the first level, or maybe two levels, then it's a UX nightmare where noone has bothered to do any usability design or testing and it seems to all be the coders who have done the UX design according to coder logic. as a coder myself it makes sense to me, just not to the regular person. and despite being a coder I can appreciate a decent easy to use well made GUI Just because ti's nice and cool to have a complex GUI with all the options right there, doesn't make it the right way to do it, certainly not the best way.
During my internet issues I also got a bit annoyed by the lack of a simple GUI way to bring up my network info like I can on windows, especially since I don't remember the terminal commands for all of it on linux and 90% of the command utilities I needed wasn't installed by default anyway. which actually brings me to an interestign point. While I was having net problems before I restarted reKonq, I couldn't even ping the websites... after I restarted ReKonq, now I can ping them... that's why I didn't think of restarting it in the first place.
I've also by now Ran the firefox browser installed twice on the system, and guess what, it's compelted successfully twice and still no firefox. previous experience with the internet and ReKonq tells me it'll probably pop up after a reboot, which would be ridiculous. but anyway.
another small annoyance I have is the semi transparent widnows when moving. it might seem impressive, but in reality it's actually just annoying. they should either be opaque or compeltely transparent with the border visible, semi transparent just ... it doesn't work. Easy to change I know but... it's just another bad default settings IMHO.
It works and it doesn't look half bad, on the surface at least. but it's got a lot of growing up and tocuhign up to go yet to be a competer. in some ways I'd say it hangs behind Ubuntu, while others it's ahead. Ironically I consider it better than ubuntu because it has better and more complex tools and "control panel" while I consider it behind Ubuntu because of unecessarily complex menus and settings that just aren't intuitive. It's seems like a paradox but is more of a consistency issue. They're missing the middle ground.
Any typos in all this text I blame on the lack of a spellcheck in ReKonq, on a more positive note, the font rendering in general is very nice in ReKonq. Scroll smoothness however, not so much.

Insert obligatory remark that a game about graphic consensual sex is harder to publish than one about graphic nonconsensual violence.
Graphic & upsetting that any sane person would be forced to play as a total pacifist, but I know I'm giving the creators way too much credit
I'd say that Hatred is brilliant art challenging out acceptance of "justified" violence in games and movies by depicting violence as so ...
I'll go back to ignoring Hatred now, while continuing to wonder why the hell Dexter had such mainstream acceptance.
Or at least as easily justified as it is in games and film.
I like games about justified violence, but it does bother me that I'm buying into the fantasy that violence is ever justified.
So it's a killing spree game that doesn't have the pretense that your violence is justified? Heh.
I guess I need to actually look at Hatred so I can have an opinion on it now. I don't really want to though.
A fun meta game to play in gone home is to throw all of the physics objects in the game into a big pile in the main hall. FPS issues ensue.
I want there to be more games like Gone Home, but I also want someone to mod Gone Home to add Doom monsters and guns.

LACK of style
Materials: 2x LACK shelving units, 2x LACK small shelf, 1x LACK large shelf, 2×3 GRUNDTAL spots and dimmer
Description: The inspiration came from a trendy furniture store where they had this white furniture in front of this blue-green wall. As it was way over my budget, I had to improvise: enter the Ikea LACK shelves.
1. I used 2 LACK shelf units and 3 LACK shelves and a number of MDF panels.
2. Two green neon tubes were built inside the LACK shelf units as well as 6 GRUNDTAL spots on 2 dimmers.
3. All the cables go behind the MDF-panels, covered in white fake fur, which are placed ~2cm in front of the wall.
4. from 4mm MDF boards I made new fronts for the lack shelf units to make the 4 compartments somewhat look like old-school tv screens.
5. The top and sides of the shelf units are laminated with white plastic foil, so they look like they are made out of one solid piece.
Voila! I'm so happy with the result that I sometimes close the curtains just so I can put on the lights in my shelf.

Hey Jules. I saw your post on Ikea Hackers: LACK of style, and I had a question about how you went about setting up the dimmers for the Grundtal puck lights. I have been doing some research and I have only found very little on it. Can you possible point me in the direction of the type of dimmer you used for the project? and also how you set it up?
This is outstanding, incredible, inspiring! It's the perfect solution for the big blank wall in my eat-in kitchen area, substituting the bottom shelf for a low white sideboard. I dig the whole "pet the furry wall" vibe too
You sure do not have a lack of style because what you have done with this hack is so cool & awesome. I worship you IKEA Hack Furniture God (he he). Just expressing how nice this is, Wow You Rock! & i have got to try this my self. Thanks for such a great hack!
The outside cuts are done by the DIY-store where I bought the MDF. The inner panels are done free hand with a 'schrobzaag' (sorry, don't know the english word for that); a small handsaw shaped like a bread knife.
can you describe how you cut the mdf? Did you just free hand? Jig saw? Thank you! Great idea
Thanks all for your nice comments! Much appreciated!
wow, it's fantastic!!! I like how it looks like a much more expensive piece of furniture!
I'm impressed, congrats
LOVE the whole ROOM! Everything is so stylish!
AR – check this out…
My friend and i love to go to ikea and snicker at the names of things- FARTY G (some lamp thing) ASPUDDIN (a bathroom cabinet!) and GRUNDTAL (oh come on!) among them. Low humor, i know, but i cannot help it, hah.
the white bookshelf is another DIY-project; it's a copy of the 'Random' by MDF-Italia. It is 25cm deep. If you scroll down here, you'll see some pictures how I made it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brumd/4085935088/
The retro wallpapers are from several different places. All of them are modern vinyl papers with a retro print. This company in Germany have a great collection: http://www.wallpaperfromthe70s.com/index.php?cat=c7_Abstract.html&XTCsid=2f5f9766c2b3b7cfc9e1ee41adb265e3
Good to remind me to go to the Plasticarium. I've never been there but it is definitely on my list!
I love this wall! I love your use of shelfs to create a focal wall! Kudos to you! It is absolutely fab!
Ikea is just so incredible with their range of very versatile items.
Every time I see a hack, I smile.
that is a great hack – went to your flickr home tour – that is the coolest pad i have ever seen!
where do you find your retro wall papers?
where is the white bookshelf from (how deep is it?)
