I'm alllll alone....
You a fan of plants, Yoda?
Even though I've been around here forever, I've never had an opportunity to meet anyone in real world land. I'm only 45 minutes from Chicago, but somehow I doubt Yodes and I would click. I get alone just fine with pretty much everyone, but you can only talk about the weather and the Fan so much. I don't think we have many (any?) mutual interests outside of this board. You a fan of plants, Yoda?I don't really even know if anyone else on the board is from the Chicago area.
And now the question be begged: which RPGFanners would you want to meet and whom would you rather not?

Exploring The Musical Theater, Visual Media Field Nominees
(For a complete list of 54th GRAMMY Awards nominees, click here.)
You've seen the list of nominees, now take a closer look at the artists nominated in the Musical Theater and Music For Visual Media Fields for the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
The original Broadway cast recording of one of Broadway's hottest new shows, "The Book Of Mormon," is nominated in the Musical Theater Field, alongside cast recordings from revivals of two classic shows, "Anything Goes" and "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." All three shows earned wins at the 2011 Tony Awards in June. "The Book Of Mormon" emerged as the top winner, garnering nine awards, including Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre. In the Music For Visual Media Field, two movie musicals, the live-action Burlesque and the animated Tangled, lead the field with two nominations each.
Best Musical Theater Album
Sutton Foster, who won a Tony Award for her performance, and Joel Grey are the artists nominated in the latest revival of "Anything Goes." The Cole Porter musical first opened on Broadway in 1934, with Ethel Merman as lead. (Porter's original title song was voted into the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame this year. Merman's rendition of "You're The Top," also from the show, was inducted in 2008.) Porter, who died in 1964, was honored with a Recording Academy Trustees Award in 1989. "The Book Of Mormon" opened on Broadway in March 2011, with Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells as the leads. The score was co-written by Robert Lopez — who won a Tony for his work on "Avenue Q" — and Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the TV show "South Park." John Larroquette, who won a Tony for his performance, and Daniel Radcliffe star in the latest revival of "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying." The Frank Loesser show first opened on Broadway in 1961 with Robert Morse and Rudy Vallee in the key roles. The cast recording from that show won a GRAMMY for Best Original Cast Show Album.
Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media
Three of the five nominated soundtracks are drawn from TV series: "True Blood," "Boardwalk Empire" and "Glee." This is the third consecutive year that a "True Blood" soundtrack has been nominated in this category. This year's nomination is for True Blood: Volume 3. This is the second year in a row that a "Glee" soundtrack has been a finalist. This year's nomination is for Glee: The Music, Volume 4. Boardwalk Empire: Volume 1 was produced by Stewart Lerman, Randall Poster and Kevin Weaver. The other two nominated soundtracks are from the movies Burlesque and Tangled. The Burlesque soundtrack consists of eight tracks by Christina Aguilera and two by her co-star Cher. Should Burlesque win, it will mark a fifth GRAMMY for Aguilera. Tangled was produced by 10-time GRAMMY winner Alan Menken and features tracks by Mandy Moore and Grace Potter.
Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media
Alexandre Desplat earned two of the five nominations for The King's Speech and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2. The latter album is vying to become the first Harry Potter soundtrack to win a GRAMMY. Daft Punk, who won two GRAMMYs in the Dance/Electronica Field in 2008, are nominated for Tron Legacy. The other nominees are Clint Mansell for Black Swan and Ryan Shore for The Shrine.
Best Song Written For Visual Media
Diane Warren has two of the six nominations in this category: "Born To Be Somebody" (from Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) and "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me" (from Burlesque). Warren won her only GRAMMY to date in this category for 1996's "Because You Loved Me" (theme from Up Close & Personal). Cher performs "You Haven't Seen The Last Of Me" in Burlesque. "Christmastime Is Killing Us" (from "Family Guy") is vying to become only the second song from a TV series to win in this category. "Boss Of Me" (from "Malcolm In The Middle") won in 2001. Seth MacFarlane, who created "Family Guy," co-wrote "Christmastime Is Killing Us" with Ron Jones and Danny Smith. (The versatile MacFarlane is also nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Music Is Better Than Words.) Alan Menken and Glenn Slater are nominated for "I See The Light" (from Tangled). Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi perform the song on the movie soundtrack. Two-time GRAMMY winner Zac Brown is nominated for co-writing "Where The River Flows" (from Footloose), which he performs on the soundtrack to the reboot of the 1984 film. Brown co-wrote the song with Wyatt Durrette, Drew Pearson and Anne Preven. Rounding out the field is "So Long" (from Winnie The Pooh). Zooey Deschanel wrote the song, which she performs with her She & Him partner, M. Ward.
Who will take home awards in the Musical Theater and Music For Visual Media Fields? Tune in to the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 12, taking place at Staples Center in Los Angeles and airing live on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

New Car Review
2013 Audi A4: New Car Review
Pros: Athletic handling, upscale interior, surprisingly roomy back seat.
Cons: Mediocre engine, undesirable CVT in base model, standard front seats lack support.
What's New: The A4 receives a handful of exterior and interior styling updates for 2013, and the "Audi connect" telematics suite with Google integration is now available. Also, the Avant wagon has been replaced by the new Allroad (reviewed separately).
The 2013 Audi A4 may look a little different with its updated styling, but underneath, it's essentially the same A4 that went on sale back in '09. Well, there's one notable difference: Audi discontinued the optional V6 engine shortly after the current A4 debuted, so the 2013 A4 continues to offer just one engine, a turbocharged 4-cylinder.
Until recently, the 4-cylinder A4 was doing just fine, thank you very much. But now other luxury brands have hopped on the turbo-four bandwagon, and the A4's engine may be outgunned. With a modest 211 horsepower, Audi's "2.0T" motor trails rival turbo fours from BMW and Cadillac by healthy margins, and its fuel economy isn't great, either. Also, Volkswagen's restyled CC features a similar 2.0T engine at a steep discount.
Still, the A4 has a lot to offer. The optional Quattro all-wheel-drive system makes the most of those 211 horses, and the A4 does manage to outperform the new 201-hp Mercedes-Benz C250. Moreover, Audi has worked wonders with the A4's handling, which is now close to class-leading in our estimation. And from its beautifully trimmed interior to its unusually spacious back seat, the A4 is really an exceptionally pleasant car.
So despite the power shortage, we think the 2013 A4 is well worth a test drive. Between the A4's refreshed styling and impressive all-around talents, there's more than enough here to set it apart from the crowd.
Comfort & Utility
The 2013 Audi A4 sedan is offered in three trim levels: Premium, Premium Plus, and Prestige.
The Premium comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, a sunroof, leather upholstery (an unusual standard luxury in this class), 12-way power front seats, a tilt-telescopic steering wheel, single-zone automatic climate control, the Multi-Media Interface system with a dash-mounted control knob and a ten-speaker audio system with an auxiliary input, an SD card reader and satellite radio.
The Premium Plus adds 18-inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, LED taillights, auto-dimming mirrors, driver memory functions, Bluetooth and iPod integration, heated seats and tri-zone automatic climate control—meaning the rear passengers get their own separate climate controls (another unusual feature).
The Prestige goes to town with adaptive xenon headlamps that include LED running lights, a blind-spot warning system, keyless entry with push-button ignition, rear parking sensors, MMI Plus with navigation and a console-mounted joystick knob and a 14-speaker, 505-watt Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Many of the higher trims' features—notably Bluetooth and iPod integration—are available on lower trims as options. Among the other available niceties, depending on the trim level, are a Sport package (including sport front seats, a sport-tuned suspension a three-spoke steering wheel, and shift paddles for automatic-transmission cars), adaptive cruise control and the Drive Select system, which allows the driver to adjust settings for steering, transmission (automatic models only) and throttle response.
An appealing new option for 2013 is Audi connect, which employs a 3G data connection to integrate Google Maps into MMI Plus. Additional Audi connect features include Google search with voice-command functionality, real-time weather and travel information and mobile wi-fi connectivity for up to eight devices.
The A4's default front seats are frankly a disappointment, providing little of the contoured lateral support we expect in a European sport sedan. The Sport package's upgraded front seats are much better in this regard, but only Premium Plus and Prestige models are eligible for this upgrade. The tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel has a wide range of adjustability, as does the standard multi-way power seat, so most drivers should have no trouble getting situated. However, drivers with long legs may find their left elbows hanging off the back of the door armrest.
The A4 sports classic analog gauges with that distinctive Audi font for the numerals. Like just about everything else in the A4's cabin, the gauges impart a sense of luxury and sophistication. Ergonomics, however, are hit-or-miss. Try to adjust the climate control's fan speed and you'll see what we mean—it's a two-step process. Whatever happened to a dedicated fan knob that does what it's told? On the bright side, we think Audi has made great strides with the MMI system's intuitiveness, which we discuss in more detail below.
The A4's back seat marks a huge improvement relative to previous A4s. Two adults can now comfortably ride in back for extended periods, which couldn't honestly be said before. And how about the available tri-zone climate control system? Separate rear climate controls are typically the province of executive-class luxury sedans, not entry-level cars like the A4.
The A4's trunk capacity is about average at 12.4 cubic feet.
The base A4 doesn't come standard with iPod or Bluetooth connectivity, but those are easy enough to add as standalone options, so we're not too annoyed. More objectionable is the absence of a USB port—if you typically rock out to a flash drive full of mp3s, prepare to alter your routine in the A4, though it's admittedly not that hard to buy an SD card and use the A4's standard SD slot for your mp3s instead.
In any case, the technological nerve center of the A4 is the MMI system, which comes in two forms. In standard spec without navigation, MMI is controlled via a knob on the center stack that requires an uncomfortable reach from the driver's seat. If your budget can handle it, we recommend stepping up to the MMI Plus system, which includes navigation, a more sophisticated display screen and a control knob that's conveniently mounted precisely where your right hand rests on the center console.
Audi has greatly improved the intuitiveness of MMI's menu structure, and the Plus version's console-mounted knob now features a nifty joystick-like top section that aids operation. Moreover, the introduction of Audi connect for MMI Plus delivers revolutionary new connectivity options, from Google Maps and voice-activated search to mobile wi-fi hotspot capability.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Every A4 is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 rated at 211 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive and a continuously variable automatic (CVT) are standard, while the optional Quattro all-wheel-drive system brings a choice of a 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic.
The CVT is kind of the A4's dirty secret. Although the Quattro-equipped models get all the press, the front-wheel-drive A4 with the CVT is the "price leader"—the one Audi's ads refer to when they proclaim a starting price under $33,000 for the A4. We've found this transmission neither responsive nor particularly refined, and it seems to sap some of the engine's power. Although Quattro will cost you another grand or three, we think it's well worth the upgrade, as both of the Quattro models' transmissions are satisfying devices.
Fuel economy for the base A4 with the CVT is 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway, which isn't very impressive these days for a 211-hp sedan. Surprisingly, adding Quattro has basically no effect on fuel economy with the 6-speed manual—rated at 22/32 mpg—while the automatic yields a marginally worse 20/30 mpg. But when you consider that the BMW 328i gets up to 22/34 mpg from its 240-hp turbo four, not to mention the 274-hp Kia Optima SX's 22/34 mpg, you might start to wonder why the A4 isn't more efficient.
The A4 comes with standard stability control, four-wheel antilock brakes and six airbags (front, front side, full-length side-curtain). Rear side airbags are optional on Premium Plus and Prestige.
In government crash-testing, the A4 received four stars out of five overall, including four stars for frontal impacts and five in all other categories. The independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the A4 its highest rating of "Good" in every category.
Driving Impressions
The A4 has a more delicate feel than the rival 3 Series—the steering-wheel rims have a thinner diameter, and the car generally feels lighter on its feet, even though the scales say otherwise. The base suspension calibration is fairly conservative by sport-sedan standards, however, so we advise enthusiastic drivers to step up to the Sport package, which elevates the A4's handling to near class-leading status (and adds those superior sport seats) without compromising ride quality overmuch. On the highway, the A4 is a champ, tracking straight and true with nary a vibration at any speed. Particularly with the softening of the latest 3 Series, the A4 has emerged as one of the top driver's cars in this segment, though the Audi's power deficit holds it back.
Other Cars to Consider
BMW 3 Series: The recently redesigned "3er" sedan boasts an amazingly strong and efficient turbocharged inline-4 in 328i trim, and you can also get a formidable turbocharged inline-6 in the 335i.
Cadillac ATS: Is there a new champion athlete in this segment? Cadillac thinks so with its Nurburgring-tuned ATS, and having driven it ourselves, we're tempted to agree. But as an all-around package, the A4 still gives the Caddy a run for its money.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class: The C250 sedan's turbocharged 1.8-liter inline-4 actually makes the A4's engine feel powerful, but the Mercedes also offers muscular V6 power if you want more urge.
AutoTrader Recommends
We suggest avoiding the front-wheel-drive A4 with the CVT and targeting the Premium Plus Quattro with the Sport package. It won't be prohibitively expensive, and you'll get to enjoy one of the most capable and rewarding vehicles in this class.

The truth is that I rode along with a Core last summer. I was able to go upwind better ( the AR seen to be higher) and when the wind dropped the Core guy went to the beach, then he tried to emulated me with little success and I could continue without problem, but if you had a dyno 18 you will know well how it goes.SupaEZ wrote:flaps1111 wrote:

SABOTAGE [chapter heading] The title we have prefixed seems to mean "scamping work." It is a device which, we are told, has been adopted by certain French workpeople as a substitute for striking. The workman, in other words, purposes to remain on and to do his work badly, so as to annoy his employer's customers and cause loss to his employer. ["The Liberty Review," January 1907]
You may believe that sabotage is murder, and so forth, but it is not so at all. Sabotage means giving back to the bosses what they give to us. Sabotage consists in going slow with the process of production when the bosses go slow with the same process in regard to wages. [Arturo M. Giovannitti, quoted in report of the Sagamore Sociological Conference, June 1907]
In English, "malicious mischief" would appear to be the nearest explicit definition of "sabotage," which is so much more expressive as to be likely of adoption into all languages spoken by nations suffering from this new force in industry and morals. Sabotage has a flavor which is unmistakable even to persons knowing little slang and no French .... ["Century Magazine," November 1910]
She had been a captive among the Hidatsas (a Siouan people), and her Hidatsa name was tsaka'aka wi'a, lit. 'bird woman' (Hartley, 2002). Her Shoshoni name, rendered as Sacajawea and translated 'boat launcher,' may have been a folk-etymological transformation of the Hidatsa term (Shaul, 1972).

Let's Go Outside with BEANIES! [Menswear Winter Essential]
I don't even ask 'Beanie or not beanie?'. It's definitely YES BEANIE!
If diamonds are girls' best friend, beanies are men's best friends for WINTER! Besides; who doesn't find a guy wearing a beanie attractive???
This is the first reason why you should have one! And the second reason is that they look "cool" and keeps you "warm". They complete an outfit by adding an effortless final touch no matter if it's a casual look or a formal look.
Men's knitwear is set to become a big trend for winter 2013. As much as statement scarves are on the rise, beanies are in the 'Must Have' list too!
As we all see on all magazines, slouchy beanies are celebrities' winter essentials.
It's also a fact that it's easier for men to wear beanies and hats as they generally have shorter hair than women. Even if they have long hair somehow men can style their hair a lot easier than us, women.
So… With this advantage in addition to style, why wouldn't a guy use a beanie, right?
On the other hand when you have a bad hair day, just wear a beanie and leave the house!
They are affordable and small (doesn't take up too much room in your wardrobe ) I think you must have many beanies in many colours and in many styles for your winter wardrobe.
Here are a few that I picked for you.
PS: I can't say which one is my favourite because I liked them all!
- Street Stripey Beanies @ Adidas, £11.00
- Religion Solidify Beanie @ jacamo.co.uk, £25.00
- Independent Front Men's Hat @ Amazon UK, £12.00

I'm the kind of person who is in love with being outdoors. As I have mentioned many times before street styles are always better and more sincere than catwalk styles!
So... I walked, I walked, and I walked. In fact it was to give my friends a tour in London. I took advantage of this opportunity and prepared a street look post.

Men's Grooming: How To Find The Perfect Beard Style?
Style is not just about clothes & accessories. It's about how you look including facial and self-care.
As I have mentioned many times before, beard is a must for guys. Women love them! Trust me!
But not the ones like Santa; go for a stubble one! (Woman advice)
Beards have a magical power to turn a baby face into an attractive bad guy look.
So… Here are some beard shapes that you can find the perfect one for yourself. Before you grow a beard, it is best to find the right beard style for your face.
How to choose the right beard shape for yourself depends on only one factor: The shape of your face.
The Round Face
If you have a round face, go a bit longer at the chin to add length to your face. That will make your face look less round and more oval-shaped. Keep the sides of the beard short. Eg: Kenya West!
The Long Face
What you do for round face, now do exactly the opposite! Such as shorter at the chin but fuller at the sides. Eg: Dane Cook
The Square Face
This one is like the round face. You should opt for styles that make your face appear more slender. You would want to make your face longer so one more time; shorter at the sides and longer at the chin. Eg: David Beckham!
The Triangle Face:
That means you have a pointed chin. Grow some chin hair. Your beard must look like a smiley face; add weight along the jawline and the chin. Eg: Ryan Gosling
The Oval Face
Those with oval faces are luckier than the others when it comes to beards. You can have whatever beard shape you like.
( It may seem like a geometry class but it's not J )
MUST DO LIST while growing a beard:
- Choose your style carefully
- Keep it groomed and avoid an uneven finish.
- Don't forget to let your skin breath once in a while.
- Moisturise!
- Use conditioner for your beard too.
The Ones That You Should Never Try No Matter What Your Face Shape is!
The photo of Brad Pitt is the reason why I insist on only stubble beards. If Brad Pitt couldn't pull it off, you can never pull it off. (The ugly truth)

New Motto: Streets Better Than Runways!
I've read this statement on a blog and that just draw my attention. For the last one week I realized that this is one of a damn right point!
Street styles by real people are more colourful, cooler, and more real!
And most importantly much more fun!
So I gathered together some street style photos on internet. To be honest some photographs look like catalog shootings but no; they were real people on streets!
Share this post if you agree the statement too!

2 Guys, 2 Girls, Autumn, and Streets!
|My friend B, me, and Vassilis
I always find the street style more exciting than runways.
Because people stare at me as if I'm a stalker or something when they realize that I try to take their photos on street, you have to settle down with my male friend's street look which I am allowed t take hundreds of photos! :)
Just because the weekend was sunny doesn't mean that it's not going to get cloudy and cold again.
I am a person who gets cold easily and apparently so are my friends. I can also admit that I miss wearing winter outfits; warm, cosy, and soft.
On this post we –as women – took over the camera too! But just as decoration J The details are still about menswear.
You know my friend B very well now. He is a metrosexual playboy. He loves being stylish. And as a guest model we have my other friend Vassilis this time. He is a stylish guy too but that day he joined us after gym so his style is sporty & comfy smart. J
This time Vassilis' style first! ( I am a good host)
Apparently he likes American "apparel". So do I!
Abercrombie & Fitch and Nike are my two favourite brands too. Especially the Abercrombie sweaters!
I loved his Nike trainers too. Red and navy is a good couple!
And B's style...
We love men with winter accessories! The scarf is my favourite!
Don't forget; statement scarves are very trendy this season!

H&M menswear & Isabel Marant - LIKES and DISLIKES
After the collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela, the Swedish retailer is gearing up for its next big collaboration with Isabel Marant.
30 pieces, Isabel Marant, the French designer who has become well-known amongst women for her elegant Parisian take on American sportswear and H&M menswear… It has been leaked on H&M's Twitter feed. The collection features menswear - a first for the designer since she started her label in 1994. According to WWD , she has "no intention of adding men's wear to (her) workload" anytime soon. As Marant said this collection is a gift from her to H&M and the guys who love Marant designs. That means if you like Isabel Marant designs as a guy this might be your only chance. Isabel Marant x H&M launches on the 14 November. hm.com/gb
She didn't hesitate to display her authentic style (patterns)on menswear too. Suede boots, biker jeans, and chunky knits are the ones drawing attention. Of course, there are plenty of cozy-looking T-shirts in the line too. Grey and black & white colours seem as the main colours of the collection. But there are bold designs too. While designing it, I thought of men of any age with a fast life and a desire to wear clothes that are comfortable but not obvious," Marant said.
Here are my 'likes' and 'dislikes' of the collection.
PS: These are my personal ideas.
I can easily say that some of the looks are very cool for street looks and wearable but some are just for runways. To be honest I liked the women's collection more…
Let's start with the 'LIKED' ones.
When the styling is good there is no way to dislike the pieces.
Coat – LIKED
Trousers – NO COMMENT.
Long sleeve shirt – VERY LIKED!
From left to right ->
The jumper is cool. Especially for the weekends and sporty looks. But the trousers… No baby, no way! DISLIKED!
On the second look the jumper that I really DISLIKED. It looks like the ones that guy's mothers force them to wear on Xmas dinner because she knitted it. Trousers are LIKED here. Cool cut!
Everything is LIKED on the last look! In fact VERY LIKED! The first time I saw only the trousers I was shocked and didn't like but it look good in the look.
All the boots look good. They also look very comfy.
|The trouser without styling. That means styling is everything!
As we all know and memorized leather is on-trend this season.
These 3 pieces are LIKED!
But I have to say that if we speak about only the leather trouser it would be better if you wear them on a bike or at a night out. (Biker outfits are popular too)
The shirt in the middle is a piece that you can easily wear and combine it with almost everything in any situation. So have one!
The jumper is the one that needs to be careful about. It's very trendy only if you use it right. (With black trousers instead one white and black coat)
Both scarves are VERY LIKED!
Scarves are one of my favourites in men accessories for winter. That's why I'm happy that I will see statement scarves a lot this season!
These ones look smart and expensive although they have very reasonable prices, £24.99.
This trouser is LIKED!
Great pick for those who are bored of jeans and chinos!

"The service would go into Boston and return at the end of the day," Keegan said, adding there would be about eight round trips.
Keegan said the proposal calls for using a new type of train involving single motorized train cars.
"They are looking to create a small depot to house the units overnight," Keegan said, mentioning he thinks it would be near the site where Spooky World had been located behind Gillette Stadium that is used for maintenance related activities for the stadium.

Rail Trip and Carlsbad, both undefeated in five starts, seek to add to those streaks in stakes features at Hollywood Park next weekend.
Rail Trip, a 4-year-old gelding, will try to win his first graded stake in the $150,000, Grade II Mervyn LeRoy Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track Saturday.
Both horses worked five furlongs here Sunday, Carlsbad in 58.80 seconds under jockey Tyler Baze and Rail Trip in 1:00 breezing under regular rider Jose Valdivia Jr.
"Awesome," said trainer Ron Ellis after Rail Trip's work. "He's coming up to it perfect."
Rail Trip, a son of Jump Start, made his debut here in November with a 3 ½-length score in a six-furlong maiden race and strung together four more wins after that. In his last start at Santa Anita April 4, he won the Santana Mile Handicap by a nose over Dakota Phone after opening a three-length lead in the stretch.
Rail Trip has shown speed in all his races but Ellis said the horse does not have to be on the lead. "He would rate if somebody else wanted to go," said Ellis. "That was why I had him set behind a horse today."
Ellis explained that Rail Trip, owned by Jay Em Ess Stable, did not make the races until late in his 3-year-old year because he had a chip taken out of his ankle late in his 2-year-old year.
Leading competition in the Mervyn LeRoy is expected from Dakota Phone, who just missed in the Daytona Mile under Rafael Bejarano; and Dixie Meister, who finished third and won the 2006 Californian here.
Dixie Meister, a 7-year-old gelding, worked five furlongs in :59.80 for trainer Julio Canani. Victory Pete, another Mervyn LeRoy nominee, worked six furlongs on turf in 1:14.60 for conditioner Alexis Barba.
The Mervyn LeRoy is the first stepping stone to the $700,000 Hollywood Gold Cup on July 11. The second is the $250,000 Californian at 1 1/8 miles on June 13.
Trainer Ral Ayers was equally impressed with Carlsbad's work. "She just cruised," said Ayers after the Arizona-bred's drill.
Carlsbad, owned and bred by Dennis Weir, proved her eye-opening form in four victories at Turf Paradise was no fluke when she made an auspicious California debut under Baze with a 3 ¼-length victory in the Grade III Santa Paula Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs on March 29 at Santa Anita.
Top competition is expected to be furnished by Witty, unbeaten in two starts for trainer Richard Mandella and to be ridden by Victor Espinoza; and Strawberry Tart, an import coming off two straight victories at Oaklawn Park.
Strawberry Tart, who was shipped here last month by trainer Jeff Bonde, worked five furlongs in a bullet :58.60 on Cushion Track Sunday.
Two other probable starters also worked five furlongs: Santa Paula runner-up Ultra Blend, in :59.60 for trainer Art Sherman; and La Habra Stakes runner-up Gold Goddess, in 1:01.20 for conditioner Walther Solis.
Other probable starters include Third Dawn (Rafael Bejarano) and Will O Way (Jesus Rios).
Trainer John Shirreffs remained on target with one burgeoning female star but was uncertain what option to exercise with an established one.
Life Is Sweet, who was named female champion of the Santa Anita meet after capturing the Grade I Santa Margarita Handicap for her third straight stakes win, worked five furlongs in 1:01.60 breezing on Cushion Track Sunday under exercise rider Isabelle Bourez.
Shirreffs confirmed the 4-year-old full sister to champion Sweet Catomine would make her next start in the $150,000, Grade II Milady Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on Cushion Track here on May 23.
Shirreffs also waited for the return of female champion Zenyatta, unbeaten in 10 starts, from Kentucky Monday after scratching the 5-year-old mare from the Louisville Distaff Friday because of a muddy Churchill Downs surface.
"Nothing is firm," said Shirreffs when asked about alternate plans for Zenyatta.
FINISH LINES — Trainer Mike Puype said Gorgeous Goose, upset winner of the $100,000 Wilshire Handicap for fillies and mares here Saturday, would remain at one mile on turf for the meet. "She will run next in the Redondo Beach Stakes (June 6) and then probably the Royal Heroine (Mile July 11)," said Puype…Noble Court, a candidate for the six-furlong $100,000 Los Angeles Handicap May 16, worked four furlongs in 50 seconds for trainer John Sadler…Veteran jockey agent Vince DeGregory is recovering at home from recent surgery for a disc in his neck.

Gluten-free Vegan Onion Sorghum Roll Recipe
Rolls, even gluten-free rolls, can be delightfully easy if you have one simple tool. A muffin tin. This humble tin, when paired with your favorite yeast dough instead of a quick rising batter, will yield gorgeous rolls with gorgeous crusts if you overlook its muffin-y appearance. I had eaten one too many jowar roti, or sorghum tortillas, when I decided to experiment more with flax seed as an egg substitute and make myself some tasty yeast onion rolls. I was initially not impressed with flax gel in early experiments, but my recent love affair with Isa Moskowitz's recipe for vegan and gluten-free buckwheat pancakes convinced me that I needed to give flax seed a second chance. After all, Ener-g Egg Replacer works reasonably well in many recipes, but it can produce gummy products if you're not careful. I was disappointed with using flax seeds as an egg substitute in Chebe tapioca bread mix, but I think that is because the low-protein tapioca starch requires a high protein ingredient to work as a bread. Flax seed is interesting, healthy stuff, rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high in fiber. Those of you on a gluten-free diet who don't eat oatmeal will be happy to know that two tablespoons of flax seed meal contains four grams of fiber. This is the same amount of fiber as 1 and 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal, and similarly to oatmeal, it is reported to help decrease harmful LDL cholesterol drop without lowering good HDL cholesterol. Why haven't I been eating more of this stuff already? Maybe because until this recipe, I hadn't found a good way to use it!
These rolls rose beautifully and became quite gorgeous when they baked. You can eat them fresh out of the oven, tearing them open with a fork tin and slathering them with (non-dairy, soy-free) margarine or drizzling them with high quality olive oil, but their texture is best after they cool. They are also wonderful the next day after a quick stint in the microwave. My DH who mourns the current absence of rice in our diet (and my old white rice flour-tapioca starch french bread) gobbled these rolls up and looked for more. I didn't tell him how healthy these whole grain, high fiber rolls were! I made my version with arrowroot starch, but you could easily make them with tapioca starch and they would undoubtedly be great. The flax seed gel really enhanced the texture of these rolls and made them very strong but with a soft, rippable center. I don't think I would use flax seed in a delicate or sweet flavored recipe (unless it was nutty or well-spiced), but in this savory onion bread, it worked perfectly. I can't wait to make this recipe again!
Gluten Free Vegan Sorghum Onion Rolls
2 cup sorghum flour
1 cup tapioca flour (or, for a more delicate bread, arrowroot starch)
1 tbsp. xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. egg replacer (optional)
2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 tbsp. yeast
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp ground flax seed + 3/4 cup water
1 tsp. vinegar (i use cider)
1 or 2 tbsp. melted Soy-free dairy-free earth balance margarine
Grease muffin tin with your favorite shortening. I use spectrum naturals palm oil shortening. Or, if making free-form rolls, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375F.
Combine flours, xanthan gum, salt and egg replacer (if using) in the bowl of a standing mixer. Place sugar in a small bowl and add your lukewarm water, whisking to combine. Add your yeast and stir in gently. Let sit for a few minutes while yeast activates and forms brownish clumps. Combine flax seed and water in a food processor or blender and blend until you have a thick and creamy consistency. Add your oil and vinegar to the proofed yeast water and add to the flours, along with the flax liquid. Beat using the paddle for 3 minutes.
For muffins, fill half-full with batter. For free-form rolls, take a large spoonful of dough and shape it into a soft round with WET hands. Run your hands under the water in-between rolls as needed. Place on the parchment paper, leaving plenty of room between them. To season, baste the top of the rolls with onion margarine, making sure you get actual bits of onion on the roll, and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Let rise for 50 minutes or until doubled in size. Bake for 30 minutes or until rolls are browned and sound hollow when you tap them.
Texture is best after they cool. The next day, a brief reheating in the microwave oven makes for a perfect, fresh tasting and hot roll!

Scotty McCreery Previews 'The Trouble With Girls' Video
Scotty McCreery chose his hometown high school as the set for his new 'The Trouble With Girls' video. He also chose which friends and classmates he'd pal around with, and which girl would play his love interest for the song from his new 'Clear as Day' album.
"We're just good ol' friends. We've known each other since kindergarten," McCreery says during a behind-the-scenes special that aired on CMT. The dark haired cutie smiles at him in science class, during lunch and while he's on the pitcher's mound. Director Roman White tried to indicate that more was going on, but it's possible he was just adding drama for fun. It's clear in the video, seen below, that he likes to keep things loose on set.
While McCreery stars in the video, it looks like the extra characters are just as important. The preview shows other high schoolers flirting and toying with each other. Garner Magnet High School comes across as a pretty hip place to study. Pretty much everyone wears Trojan blue, and the teachers let you blow things up during science class. In the preview special, McCreery admitted it was just blue vinegar and baking soda in the science beaker.
The finished video for 'The Trouble With Girls' will be available online beginning on Monday. This Saturday it will air on CMT at 8:45AM ET and Sunday at 8AM ET.

Have I Got a Deal for You
Now that Groupon has become part of our common language and millions of us are taking advantage of fantastic deals of 50% or more on products, services, dining and more, let's take a look at the top players in the group couponing game.
For those of you who are new to this, the process works like this:
- A company or business offers a discount coupon for products or services, usually at least 50% off, sometimes more. If enough deals are purchased , the deal is on.
- This offer is presented to users either via their website or as a daily email. If the deal is on, you are sent the coupon.
It's a simple and great application of collective buying power and everyone wins. Businesses get a surge of new (and hopefully repeat) customers and customers save real money on products and services.
Groupon will likely have the distinction of being the generic name for the social coupon phenomenon. Sign up for daily emails and you will get coupons for the things you prefer that are being offered in your area.
Living Social actually came out before Groupon, but it hasn't gotten the same amount of traction. It's similar but also offers travel and family-focused deals.
Naturally, there's a social aspect to all of this with the sharing and reviewing of deals and products, so it's no surprise that the next big player in the game is Facebook Deals (click on the Deals link from your FB page). Right now it's in limited release, but watch for roll out into your area.
And next to be released will be Google Offers. Interestingly, Google offered to buy Groupon last year for $6 Billion, but they declined. So Google is entering the game with their own product. I'm not sure if there'll be anything groundbreaking here, but watch for it soon.
There are also many other deal sites popping up both locally and nationally. It'll be interesting to watch how this evolves. The bottom line for you, the user, is what offers are good for you. Which one is better for you will depend on how many deals are offered in your area that are of interest to you. But buyer beware. It's great to be able to try a business or product out at a discount, but spending a lot of money on good deals that you won't ever use, is just a waste.
I found a great post that gives a really useful data on the four sites mentioned above. Click here to take a look.

At Variety On the Air, I offered a largely positive take on new NBC musical drama Smash, but with a few scattered misgivings about some aspects of the show, including a couple of the musical set pieces in early episodes. Above is one of those numbers, the baseball (cough)-infused "The National Pastime." Apologies for the spoiler for my West Coast readers.
Smash depicts the making of a Broadway show based on the life of Marilyn Monroe, and her relationship with Joe DiMaggio is apparently one key part of the fictional fiction. That explains the genesis of the above number, which despite the enthusiastic performances (and barely bridled sexuality) of Megan Hilty and friends, is kind of a nightmare. Corny doesn't begin to describe it.
When I watched it a second time Sunday, months after seeing the screener last summer, to see if I had been too harsh in my initial assessment, I decided that I was – that it only ranked about an 8 on the nightmare scale, as opposed to a 10. But what still bothered me the most was how beside herself with joy Debra Messing's character, the songwriter, was at the number. Her revelry at seeing "The National Pastime" wrapped in this kind of glory made me fear for the musical she was co-creating in the show.
I mean, in the world of this musical, you've got about two hours to tell the story of Marilyn in a meaningful way, and you're going to spend three precious minutes with this? Surely there's a better way that doesn't involve making me wish baseball had never been born.
Some will enjoy "The National Pastime" just fine, and in any case, the rest of Smash is much better than this. But I can't help it: "The National Pastime" is a big fat swing, leg-kick and a miss.

LONDON (Reuters) - The Bank of England moved to head off the risk of a housing bubble in Britain on Thursday, making a surprise announcement that it would put the brakes on a scheme launched last year to help boost mortgage lending.
The central bank said the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS) would cease to offer banks incentives for mortgage lending and instead be refocused on helping small firms to borrow. The news caused shares in house-building firms to tumble.
Britain's economy and its housing market have staged an unexpectedly strong turnaround since the FLS was launched by the BoE and finance ministry in July 2012 in an effort to spur the long-delayed recovery by unblocking credit markets.
"Given the access to credit for households now ... it would no longer be appropriate or necessary for us to have our foot on the accelerator. It's better to shift into neutral," BoEGovernor Mark Carney said.
Another - much-criticized - government program to aid the housing market, Help to Buy, remains in place.
British house prices have risen by almost 7 percent over the past 12 months - their fastest growth in more than three years - sparking concern about the risk of a future bubble as well as rising living costs at a time of stagnant wages.
London prices have surged even more, partly on the back of foreign demand, and finance minister George Osborne is widely expected to introduce a capital gains tax on foreign-owned property in a half-yearly budget update next week.
"We did not see an immediate threat coming from the housing market but we are concerned about the prospective evolution of the housing market," Carney said, adding that the BoE could take further steps to rein in house prices if needed.
Osborne, who has made a revival of Britain's housing market a key part of his economic plans, endorsed the decision.
Sterling hit a 14-month high as currency traders bet the news moved the BoE closer to raising interest rates from a record low of 0.5 percent, where they have been since 2009.
Economists disagreed, saying tighter regulation could reduce the need for the BoE to raise rates to tame house prices. "By taking such action it can actually limit the need for direct monetary policy tightening," said James Knightley at ING.
House-building firms at one point lost more than 1 billion pounds ($1.63 billion) in market value as their shares - which have more than doubled in two years, helped by efforts to kick-start the property market - fell heavily on the news.
Carney said he did not expect a big economic impact because market funding conditions had improved over the past year and banks were already making limited use of the FLS.
"Although the changes to the FLS may be a surprise, they are not a shock," said Paul Smee, who heads the Council of Mortgage Lenders, an industry group. "Lenders are well equipped to meet their funding needs, as wholesale funding market conditions have improved and retail deposits are robust."
Banking analysts at Bernstein Research warned that over the longer run the change could push up mortgage rates, as the FLS had boosted competition in Britain's mortgage market.
The news raised questions about how the BoE will judge another, more controversial housing scheme. Help to Buy, which was expanded last month by the government, aids home-buyers who lack the large deposits sought by mortgage lenders since the financial crisis.
That plan has been widely criticized by economists and the opposition Labour Party for doing too little to boost house-building and for risking a surge in prices.
The BoE is due to review Help to Buy in September, and Carney said on Thursday it could make recommendations sooner if it felt the scheme threatened financial stability.
Under the FLS, banks and building societies get cheap credit from the BoE in proportion to how much they raise their lending.
Thursday's changes mean banks will be unable to claim the cheap funding for new lending to households from January 1, 2014. Fees charged to banks for business finance would be reduced to the lowest point on the existing scale, 0.25 percent.
Favorable capital treatment for new home loans made under the FLS will end on December 31. Five, mainly small, lenders benefit from this at present.
Carney said the BoE would take more action to cool housing if needed, including a possible cap on how big mortgages can be relative to property values and borrowers' salaries. The BoE lacks powers to force banks to follow such recommendations, but it can require banks to hold more capital against risky lending.
Away from housing, the BoE said a stronger economic outlook meant that risks to financial stability appeared lower.
Risks remained, however, as many countries, firms and individuals were highly indebted and vulnerable if a sharp rise in interest rates outpaced any increase in their incomes. ($1 = 0.6144 British pounds)

The athletes of the seven countries taking part in the Special Hands Project may also be participating in some sports and non-sports activities. One of the seven countries is Papua New Guinea. The Special Olympics organization there is a Founding Committee and aspires to be an accredited Special Olympics Program. "There are many people with intellectual disabilities in the rural areas who are afraid to come out and participate in our programs," said Sophia Tuna, Interim Secretary/Treasurer for the founding committee in Papua New Guinea.
