text:
St. Ultan of Ardbraccan, Ireland, was the maternal uncle of St. Brigid, and collected a life of that great Irish saint for his pupil, St. Brogan Cloen of Rostuirc, on Ossory. There seems to be some difficulty in his chronology inasmuch as the assumption of his relation to St. Brigid must involve an extraordinary longevity, namely 180 years, because his death is not chronicled till 657. Windisch, however, explains away the seeming inconsistency. The Irish Annals describe St. Ultan as of the royal race of O'Connor, and he succeeded St. Breccan as Abbot-Bishop of Ardbraccan about the year 570. From O'Clery's "Irish Calendar" we learn that he educated and fed thousands of poor students from all parts of Ireland. Of his literary powers there are several specimens, among others, lives of St. Patrick and St. Brigid. His exquisite Latin hymn of the latter saint, commencing "Christus in nostra insula", is incorporated in the Solesmes Chant books. The exact year of his death is uncertain, the various annalists giving 653, 656, 657, and 662, but probably we are safe in following the "Annals of Ulster", wherein his obit is recorded under the year 657. He died on 4 September, on which day his feast has always been celebrated. St. Ultan's Well is still at Ardbraccan.

Act 47: Unfinished Business
November 9th, 2012
Yesterday Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and his allies in the state legislature and on City Council lobbied representatives of the PA Department of Community and Economic Development to remove Pittsburgh from Act 47 financial oversight.
While Pittsburgh has certainly made progress since 2003, when out of control spending and shrinking revenues nearly bankrupted the City, the plan that was put in place to create a new model of fiscal sustainability is far from complete.
Councilman Bill Peduto was the sole elected official to speak out at yesterday's hearing for maintaining oversight until we are truly out of the woods. There are still too many serious fiscal issues left unaddressed to stop now – from pension reform to the City's relationship with its large nonprofit institutions.

Good question. What do we eat when staples like corn and sugar are used for fuel?
The only answer is nuclear power with plug in cars.
Small cars.
And public transport.
Big America is just gonna have to get a whole lot smaller!
How many people caught this documentary?
In it, it mentions and shows how England gets coal from the US and, then trains delivering it runs out of oil...
Electric cannot run anymore grid to grid... it runs on oil.
Cattle which are bred to feed the people are starving to death...
Japan which imports 60% of its food is now starving to death...
the people question should the next field crop be for fuel (corn, ethanol) or for food?
World without oil

Ah, like tires are made from oil...
God has always blessed us with large wars and hideous mega diseases just when the population started to exceed its bounds, as it does now.
Or pray for a Asteroid of moderate size landing in Iraq.
And yes, save your used drain oil, vegetable oil, and tires for after the crash. Better than gold!
Sometimes I don't think people realize how many different kinds of things are made from oil. You can own an electric car but what about its tires? Are they electric tires?
Even rubber gloves, anything, rubber, is made from oil. I think, a shortage of oil might increase the population.
There will be a second baby boomer generation.
A world without oil would either be sunshine and roses with everyone living in peace. Or we might be waist deep in horse droppings because we still use animals for transportation with our 6 shooters on our side. The air would be polluted with smoke from our campfires.
Nope. But there would be effective public transport.
I love the way Americans are so adverse to taking a bus or a train!
That will have to change.
What train? what bus? What would run the train? Your country won't even get any coal ... and so far, as buses, what makes you think, any country would have buses? Don't even say a bike... unless, you can ride on metal tires, oh my... no steel would be produced either. Looks like you would have to walk Ian, but, since your body won't be fueled correctly with food looks like you wouldn't have the energy either.

Cookie you're ridiculous.
A LOT more than just TIRES are made from oil...
You can't read... I think, I said that! LOL...
Try French Cookie, LOL
Have a great day.

D'accord, beaucoup de choses sont faites de caoutchouc non seulement les pneus! LOL
Look. Oil will not run out. It will just get so expensive that it will not be efficient to use for fuel in cars.
Other things made from oil can be recycled. So you'll stop buying gas before the tires run out.
Now get your sorry behinds on a bus and train and do the climate a favor.
If there are no buses and trains use taxes to buy them.
And if the country is too big....tough. You moved here and ran away from your obligations.

Chicago >Food & Dining > graham elliot
217 W Huron St, Chicago, IL | Directions 6061041.894738 -87.635064
Tue-Thu 5pm-10pm, Fri-Sat 5pm-11pm
Neighborhoods: Central, Near North Side
Start with--of all things--popcorn, topped with a rotating array of fun spices. Don't miss the cocktails and whimsical desserts.
The food is crazy, the chef is eccentric, but you're guaranteed to have an interesting and delicious dinner.
great fusion cooking; whimsical, playful and damned tasty!
Less funky, more refined - new head chef Andrew Brochu dresses GE up as G.E.Bistro goes cas- custom wine pairings worth the splurge here
I'm not 1 for hyperbole but Graham Elliot under new exec chef Andrew Brochu is 1 of the best meals I've had in forever. Get the 15 courses.
HORRIBLE, skip it. – I don't care WHAT kind of reputation Mr. Elliot has, NOTHING can make up for bad service. I am SO turned off by this place, that this is the very first review I've ever written about a restaurant. First off, it was my 40th birthday, which they knew, and you'd expect some kind of recognition for that. NOPE. When we asked to have a 4-top instead of a 2-top (the restaurant was EMPTY, 5:30, before we went to a play), she said, no, we need all the 4-tops tonight. HMMM... When we left an hour later, the place was STILL empty. Now I know why... Service was HORRIBLE, to say the least. Servers and hostesses should NOT be arrogant, especially at a restaurant where the food is just so-so. My husband is a chef, he said he enjoyed the Sturgeon, but everything else was forgettable. There is no excuse for bad service. When you read all the other reviews, you will see a common theme. BAD SERVICE. over and over again. I wish I had paid attention to all of the other reviews before I went here. This place will NOT last. Probably why I hadn't heard of this place before, because it just downright stinks. NEVER AGAIN! I plan on posting this type of review as many places as I can, that's how offended I was upon leaving that place last night. Mr. Elliott, MAKE SOME CHANGES in your staff and menu, or you will be out of business VERY soon.
Fun food that blows your taste buds – After watching Top Chef Masters, talked my fiancee into taking me to my 30th birthday dinner there, and it was everything I wanted and more. Have since returned with future inlaws and they are all fans as well.
The popcorn they start off with is good enough that I would've been happy just eating that, but we had scallops, kung pao sweetbreads, lobster corn dog, deconstructed caprese salad and more over two visits that mostly made me think I have never eaten good food before in my life or it would all have exploded with taste on my tongue like this!
The staff was courteous, worried about food sensitivities and allergies, and on my birthday they added a little candle to my plate which I thought was a wonderful personal touch for such a hip place.
Just plain amazing.... – I've Been here a few times, a couple times with my mother and brothers, and once with the wife. So anyways, It can be a bit difficult to find this place just because it doesn't seem to advertise it's whereabouts everywhere. Walk inside and its a new-modern-ish-feel... I don't know what it's considered, but anyways, greeted by a great pair of hostesses who were very inviting and sit you at the best possible seat, not whats most convenient.
At first glance at the menu i thought "What in the hell have i got myself into?"- the combination of food and the chef's desire to "deconstruct" things like a Ruben Sandwich is just amazing. First bite of food whatever it is will take your breath away, i have never had anything as delicious as i have had at graham elliot.
Not to mention- The BEST specialty drinks in the city... So good!
PS: Foie Gras Popsicle coated in Pop-Rocks... Sounds strange... Tastes Amazing!
Too Loud – They should wait until about 10 pm to crank the music up. It is way too loud to have any kind of conversation.
exceeded expectations – decided to come here after the top chef masters episode. the menu seems understated but the execution of entrees in our visit (sea bass, halibut) was flawless, and we dined on a monday night. the staff was a bit snooty at first but came down to earth as the night unfolded and the place cleared out. pacing was a bit slow but that was OK since it was our first anniversary dinner.
to the reviewer that didn't get popcorn: save your appetite; the menu items were much more enjoyable!
Fantastic Food – Went to Graham Elliot on a double date and while I was very disappointed with our table (huge round in the corner for four people...) the service made up for it. The food was amazing, as expected, but I confess the deconstructed snickers was a little off. I think the peanuts were too salty. At any rate, a great addition to the Chicago restaurant scene and totally worth a try.
Disappointing – Having only a couple nights in Chicago, I did plenty of research on where to eat some good food. The night before Graham Elliot, my girlfriend and I ate at Avec, which was a fantastic experience--great food, laid-back atmosphere, and surprisingly reasonable prices. Graham Elliot, however, proved to be very disappointing.
I had read about the chef's credentials and philosophy, and the menu options looked wonderful on their website. But in the end, the food was just okay.
Maybe it was heightened expectations, or the fact that it was a Sunday night, but the whole experience just didn't seem to be what it could've been. I was very interested in the spicy buffalo chicken, which seemed to be the epitome of Graham Elliot's "haute-meets-low cuisine". While the chicken was well prepared and tasty, it really just tasted like good buffalo chicken, not unlike what I could get at any decent bar and grill. I was expecting "haute," but got stuck with "low." I also had the short rib stroganoff, which sounds like the absolute perfect food in my mind, and I was excited to see what this hot Chicago chef could do with the dish. But the meat was charred on the outside and mushy in the middle, and the mushroom sauce was bland. The dish just didn't come together at all (although the mushrooms were delicious).
My girlfriend's fish was decent, and our gnocchi was probably the best dish of the night. But all in all, I can't help but feel let down by what I hoped would be a unique and tasty dinner.
I should also point out that we never received the table popcorn basket, which our waiter was so proud to offer us, and that every other table received. And while we were informed that the dress standard was "casual," I couldn't help but feel out-of-place in my polo shirt and tennis shoes (despite the fact that the wait staff all wore Converse All Stars). I guess I got my "haute" and "low" mixed up.
Highly anticipated dining room from Graham Elliot Bowles, whose haute-meets-low cuisine makes foodies swoon. – In Short
Departing from his days at Avenues, the touted chef presents a rule-breaking bistro experience at his eponymous restaurant with exposed brick, ductwork, a communal table and expansive windows that let in light. Bucking the white tablecloth scene, servers don Converse and denim. Furthering the unfussy feel, aged cheddar risotto gets garnished with Cheez-Its. Seafood gets play, too, in the form of brandade beignets with Meyer lemon tartar sauce or chorizo-crusted scallops with saffron bubbles. Bar snacks bypass the basics in favor of Brie cheese sticks with white peach chutney and crisp buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese foam.

The Buffalo News (New York) - Nine Falls streets to benefit from stimulus money
Rep. Louise Slaughter stopped at the city's new Police Department and courthouse today to tout the millions of dollars of federal stimulus funds that have flowed to her district.
The congresswoman said the streets are part of $95 million her district has received to date, including $6.9 million in transportation and infrastructure projects.
'Today as we announce the start of nine new road projects, it is important to realize that the $95 million from the recovery package has saved countless jobs and created even more but our work is by no means over; my fight continues,' Slaughter said in a written statement. [Read More]
Reuters - Romer says stimulus working despite job losses
White House economic adviser Christina Romer said on Thursday that the $787-billion U.S. stimulus program was stabilizing the economy despite unacceptably high job losses.
Romer said that since the stimulus program was started, 'an economy that was in freefall has stabilized substantially, and now looks as though it could begin to recover in the second half of the year.'
She said that the impact of stimulus spending should increase in coming quarters, aiding a recovery. 'We expect the fiscal stimulus to be roughly $100 billion in each of the next five quarters,' Romer said. [Read More]
The Pioneer Press (Minnesota) - Minnesota's share of transportation stimulus money is credited for 2,130 jobs
Federal economic stimulus aid has created 2,130 transportation construction jobs in Minnesota so far this year, and the program is on track to produce a projected 12,500 jobs over the program's two-year lifespan, state and federal officials said in a progress report...
'This part of the recovery act is working,' said [U.S. Rep. Jim] Oberstar, a Democrat from Chisholm, Minn.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has committed $350 million of the $502 million in stimulus aid the state will receive for roads and bridges… Overall, the state Management and Budget Department expects Minnesota to receive at least $1.8 billion in stimulus aid for all programs.
Across the country, Oberstar said, transportation stimulus money will create jobs for about 250,000 of the 1.6 million laid-off construction workers by Labor Day. [Read More]
Phoenix Business Journal (Arizona) - EV charger manufacturing facility could add 750 jobs in Phoenix
When electric vehicle charging stations start cropping up around the Phoenix area, about 750 new workers will be developing a network that could one day span the country.
With the announcement that ECOtality Inc. and its subsidiary Electric Transportation Engineering Corp. will receive $99.8 million in federal stimulus funds to finance an electric vehicle charging infrastructure in partnership with Nissan Motor Co., the local company is on pace to add jobs and space to its facilities, said Don Karner, eTec's president.
The eTec announcement was part of a $2.3 billion grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act designed to bolster the electric car business by investing in infrastructure and battery technology. Karner said there have been attempts in the past to unleash electric vehicles on a mass market, but this time it might take hold. [Read More]
The Journal Sentinel (Wisconsin) - Johnson Controls wins big hybrid battery grant
Vice President Joe Biden announced that Michigan would get $1 billion in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to help set up a domestic manufacturing base for next-generation batteries…
Johnson Controls received the largest single grant of 48 that were announced Wednesday, which 'underscores the company's leadership position' in the race to develop advanced batteries for cars and trucks, industry analyst David Leiker said.
The company's hybrid battery business, which was launched several years ago, now employs about 250 people, with between 80 and 90 based at Johnson Controls' headquarters campus in Glendale, she said. The Michigan factory will create 500 jobs for the Johnson Controls hybrid business. [Read More]
Summit Daily (Colorado) - Breaking ground with stimulus money
With a group of dignitaries on hand to turn ceremonial shovels of dirt, local officials marked the groundbreaking for a new fleet maintenance facility for Summit Stage buses and other county vehicles.
The existing facility was built in the 1960s and doesn't meet the needs of Colorado's fourth-largest transit system.
Other elected officials, including Congressman Jared Polis, State Sen. Dan Gibbs and State Rep. Christine Scanlan, hailed the project as an example of collaboration between federal lawmakers and state and local governments and agencies. [Read More]
The Press-Telegram (California) - Long Beach group to get job-training funds
Long Beach's Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Network is one of four agencies to receive nearly $2 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding to provide job training to survey and clean up contaminated sites or 'brownfields'…
Pacific Gateway will get $452,212. The city plans to train 100 participants, graduate 70 students and place 53 graduates in environmental jobs through the proposed Long Beach Bioneers Academy, according to the EPA. [Read More]
The Denver Post (Colorado) - Colorado snags $50 million for electric cars
A Colorado company and a group of colleges and schools on Wednesday landed a $50 million slice of $2.4 billion in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds meant to support the development of advanced electric-drive vehicles.
The grant is expected to create 85 jobs, most of them training positions, said Gary Caille, director of the systems solution group at CSU Ventures, a nonprofit affiliated with the university. [Read More]

National forests in North Carolina have received approximately $15 million to fund American Recovery and Reinvestment Act projects.
Of the 19 projects, Croatan National Forest will benefit from six of them. The Croatan National Forest covers areas of Craven, Carteret and Jones counties.

Families got into the holiday spirit and, perhaps, a sugar rush too in the Gingerbread House Workshops at Orlando Science Center.
Parents and their children constructed houses, palaces and even castles made of gingerbread, frosting, candy canes and more in Dr. Dare's Lab. Guests also took fun in making rock candy in the shape of snowflakes and Christmas trees.

This could be a new trend with seeing elite prospects committing to their schools earlier to guarantee their spot in that recruiting class.
Dorsey did it with Arizona.
Matthews just pulled the trigger to Kentucky.
I would say Simmons to LSU would be another example but I don't think LSU would be the type of school that would recruit someone good enough to turn Simmons away.
They are usually the type of program that loses recruits to elite programs (see Victor, Craig)
Marcus Garvey,MLK,Malcolm X,Joe Louis,Rosa Parks,etc..
All these men & woman and several more African-Americans helped paved the way to allow me to chase my dream and to pursue greatness,to sit in the same classroom as those whose ancestors thought they were more superior than mine..
Hopefully Malik Newman won't got to Kentucky too
Golf requires goofy pants and a fat ass. You should talk to my neighbor, the accountant. Probably a great golfer... huge ass.
Hey, what a shock. University of Illinois fails to keep a prospect in state. I love it.

London via SoCal: Olympic women's beach volleyball finals, not in tape delay
Check out KPCC's "L.A. To London" series, exploring Southland connections to the 2012 Summer Olympics. View the series and follow it on Twitter at #latolondon.
It's SoCal side outs til the gold comes home on Wednesday as the United States versus America in the Olympic women's beach volleyball finals.
Tuesday's semifinal wins placed April Ross and Jennifer Kessy against fellow Golden State-ers Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings in the Olympic sandbox.
The California connection is strong in this competiton. Kessy is a graduate of Dana Hills High School in Dana Point and USC. Ross attended Newport Harbor High School in NewPort Beach and USC.
Kerri Walsh Jennings was born in Santa Clara, went to high school in San Jose, and atteneded college at Stanford. Her teammate Misty May-Treanor grew up playing volleyball by the Santa Monica Pier, also went to Newport Harbor High School, and played at Long Beach state. Side note: she's married to L.A. Dodger Matt Treanor.
This is the first Olympic spin for Ross and Kessy and the last Olympics together for Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor. Already the most-decorated team in the brief history of Olympic beach volleyball, which debuted in 1996, Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor are guaranteed at least a silver medal.
No surprise, Wednesday's all-American championship match in London has spiked concerns over objectification and the way certain sports and athletes are photographed.
But salaciousness misses the mark -- Olympic competitors represent some of the best human body specimens in the world, and we should be looking at them. Closely. In awe. These athletes break records, set bars, reach milestones, and advance our collective ability. Their bodies are special, and serve as regularly re-written benchmarks of human physical achievment. In stretchy clothes.
Watch with appropriate eyes. Or read along if you prefer. KPCC's Tony Pierce will be live tweeting the streaming sport for all you spoiler lovers.
Golden sands: Olympic women's beach volleyball final is all-American
It's going to be the United States versus America for Olympic gold in women's beach volleyball. Can you dig it?
A semifinal win on Tuesday by April Ross and Jennifer Kessy over Juliana Silva and Larissa Franca of Brazil followed a fellow Californian victory by Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh Jennings over the Chinese team of Xue Chen and Zhang Xi earlier in the day.
Translation: Wednesday is an all-American, all-SoCal championship match.
This is the first Olympic spin for Ross and Kessy and the last Olympics together for Walsh Jennings and May-Treanor.
"We want to seal the deal that we're the best team that's ever happened," Walsh Jennings said Tuesday night after they advanced to their third consecutive Olympic gold medal game with a 22-20, 22-20 victory over China. "Misty has changed my life. I just love her. I want to win tomorrow for us."
Twitter suspends outraged journalist for NBC email share
Daniel A. Anderson
The Tower Bridge is lit with fireworks over the river Thames as the Olympic flame is lit in the Olympic Stadium a few miles away.
Criticising the Olympic Games is a sport unto itself, but it wasn't Guy Adams' commentary that got the Los Angeles-based reporter for The Independent suspended by Twitter, it was his alleged violation of service policy when he tweeted the questionably-public corporate email address of NBC Olympics president, Gary Zenkel.
Disturbed Friday by the rift in the continental space/time tape-delay continuum, Adams asked his followers to write Zenkel and complain about the network's coverage.
"The man responsible for NBC pretending the Olympics haven't started yet is Gary Zenkel. Tell him what u think!" read the now-hidden tweet, which included the email address.
NBC Sports said in a statement Monday, "We filed a complaint with Twitter because a user tweeted the personal information of one of our executives...According to Twitter, this is a violation of their privacy policy. Twitter alone levies discipline."

Students and those who know Maria Pace say her art is touching the lives of people in Central Virginia and other parts of the world.
Maria Pace eats, sleeps and breathes art. She's been painting for several years and recently had what she calls the opportunity of a lifetime; A chance to participate in an art residency program in France, and have her artwork displayed in a museum there.
"Really exciting because I really believe that if you dream something up nine times out of ten it will come true."
For an entire month she worked on stacks of paintings, many of which were inspiration for other art projects.
"Her textiles are just fabulous," said Julie Jackson of the Orange Art Center. "The way that she can just transfer her water color on to textiles is just beautiful."
When Maria isn't traveling the world, working on her own art, she teaches art at the Orange Art Center and in her home.
Folks that have taken her class say she is a real inspiration for up and coming artists.
"They love her class," said Jackson. "She's just so kind and so encouraging. I just think it's great that she hasn't given up her dream and that she's doing her art and loving her art."
Pace says she wants to encourage others, because that is what her family, friends and teachers did for her.
"A lot of times that's all people need is to her those words and to have someone say you can do this. Let me tell you about this thing that I did, and there's no reason you can't do it."
A few kind words that she hopes will go a long way for local artists

James Suckling
I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.

Improves Ride Comfort. These GT500 Jounce Bumper Stops may look like your stock ones, but the difference is that they are much softer/spongier than stock. So when the jounce bumpers compress, they release slower than stock to provide a less violent chassis reaction when the vehicle bounces off them. This improves stability and ride comfort when used in conjunction with FRPP lowering springs.
Kit Includes. This Ford Racing Jounce Bumper Kit contains two front jounce stop bumpers and two rear jounce stop bumpers.
Legendary Ford Racing Quality. When you're adding suspension parts to your Pony, you can't go wrong by installing parts from the folks that know it best. Ford Racing's legendary quality ensures a perfect fit and years of hassle-free use.
Application. This set of four Ford Racing Jounce Bumper Stops fits all 2005 to 2014 Mustangs with Ford Racing Lowering Springs installed, including the V6, GT, Bullitt, Boss and Shelby GT500 models.
Technical Note: Compatible with the following Ford Racing spring kits; M5300K, M5300L, M5300N, M5300P.
Mustang Fitment: 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 Details >>

Floor drain backup - toilet water disappearing - possible Vent issues
Not sure what type of problem I have. I seem to have an issue with my floor drain a couple times a year. This may be 3 times in one week or once every 4 months. No year is the same.
So, every once in a while my floor drain will back up just on to the floor (house is 1968). I had the drains cleaned and inspected but no blockage was found to the street. The weird this is that I know this will occur because the toilet in the basement will suddenly be dry. All the water sucked out of the bowl. Not evaporation. The change me be from the morning to the afternoon.
As soon as I plunge the toilet vigorously, the drain floor drain immediately clears and I can pour an unlimited amount of water down the floor drain.
I am thinking vent issue but any help is appreciated.

For 2013, it and the rest of the Corvette clan can be dressed up in the 60th Anniversary Design Package that includes dark blue seats with baby blue accents, anniversary logos on the seats and steering wheel, and racing stripes that even make it onto the cloth top of convertible models...more
The year 2013 is the Corvette's sixtieth anniversary and the C6's final year of production. To mark these milestones, Chevy puts the Z06's 7.0-liter V-8, drivetrain, and rear axle into a carbon-fiber-reinforced droptop to produce the 427 convertible. It may be Chevy's fastest convertible ever, but it doesn't knock the top-spec ZR1 off its pedestal. With a 6.2-liter supercharged LS9 V-8 that pumps out an incredible 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque, the ZR1 is the first production Corvette capable of crossing the 200-mph threshold. As for the other Corvettes? The base and Grand Sport models use a 6.2-liter V-8, but the GS gets a number of upgrades, including Z06 styling cues, its own gear (manual transmission) and rear-axle ratios, and available Magnetic Selective Ride Control. The 505-hp boy-racer Z06 neatly fills the gap between the base model and the ZR1 and can be had in a limited-edition Carbon model, which adds a number of performance and cosmetic upgrades, including ZR1-style aerodynamic aids, carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, and Magnetic Selective Ride Control. In fact, every Corvette model has numerous performance and cosmetic packages that allow buyers to customize their car down to the color of the brake calipers. Interior quality remains an Achilles' heel, but the Vette continues to offer unrivaled bang for the buck.
Front and side air bags, traction and stability control, ABS, and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard.

I read some of his stuff, it is terrific. And "Get Shorty" is one of my favorite movies. I heard today that his first novel was rejected 84 times before it was published. That's perseverance.
That is NOT the kind of news I wanted to start my day with. ****.
RIP to a fantastic writer.
On one hand, you're never happy to see a person pass away, especially someone so talented who created so many interesting books/characters. On the other hand, he lived a long life and will certainly be remembered for all his contributions to crime and noir fiction. RIP
"To his admiring peers, Mr. Leonard did not merely validate the popular crime thriller; he stripped the form of its worn-out affectations, reinventing it for a new generation and elevating it to a higher literary shelf."
Elmore Leonard was probably my second favorite living writer, behind only James Ellroy. His gift for dialogue was unparalleled and the only real criticism I can mount is that sometimes his books could get too breezy. It is great that the writers of Justified have captured his style so well so he can, to a degree, live on.

Bacon Steak
- Online Only
- Summary
For three generations, the Edwards family of Surry County, Virginia, has produced award-winning cured pork products since 1926. For this thick-cut bacon, they hand-rub pork belly with a salt and sugar cure, then smoke it over hickory logs for 24-36 hours in an 80-year-old smokehouse. The result is a deeper color and richer flavor not found in standard pork. Cut into extra-thick ¼" slabs, this is for true bacon lovers who want a meaty mouthful in every bite.
- Two 1-pound packages per order; 9-11 slices per pound.
- Shipped chilled.
