Special Offer
Yes, men know women check out dudes but not in the same way men check out women. Guys immediately imagine ourselves having sex with anyone who's at all attractive, and that constant stimulation can be overwhelming. It's like if every good-looking guy you saw was also writing you a poem while saving injured kittens on his motorcycle.
6. He Can Rationalize It
Men love games. And games are all about how far you can bend the rules. So a lot of guys have very elastic definitions of what cheating is. Hence groping and kissing is fine if it's on a dance floor...and besides, being drunk makes pretty much anything okay...oh, and of course it goes without saying that strippers don't count....
7. He Realizes He's a Coward
Sometimes guys cheat not because they want to cheat, but because they want to end things altogether. He's thinking about the "talk" about the "relationship" that will probably become "emotional" and who wants to deal with that stuff? So instead, he'll either pretend that he's not in a relationship when it suits him, or he'll behave so badly that he forces his girlfriend to end things for him instead. Genius.

Yeah, Rio's probably going to move your thread. (to the writer's section, I don't hang out there so I don't know the specific location. ) But while it's here....
It's called a DIALOGUE TAG.
So when done correctly, looks something like this: (Courtesy of Peanuts)
"I will love you forever." he said.
"Yes yes yes!" she said.
"Forever being a relative term." he said.
She creamed him with a waffle iron.
Now, one musn't always use "said" for a dialogue tag, it's quite dull after awhile, actually. Keep in mind though that they are, for the most part, invisible to the reader.
Shouted, sighed, whispered, breathed, snorted, guffawed, laughed, chuckled, sobbed, cried, bleeped, blipped, etc...
Get a thesaurus to help you with some more original
A word of caution. Some writer's like to use verbs as dialogue tags. While this works under some cases ("He grinned") it is often times sloppy and over down. Use sparingly.
(I mean, come on, how many people can actually "bark" an order for a three-cheese pizza?)

Experts say to check heaters for Waldo Canyon Fire smoke, ash this season
Updated On: Nov 20 2012 02:38:50 PM CST
As winter nears, many residents have turned on their heaters for the first time of the season, only to be unpleasantly surprised by smoke and ash getting blown throughout their homes.
Kurt Knaus, branch manager of Cooper Heating & Cooling, said these particulates accumulated in the ducts and furnaces during the Waldo Canyon Fire, when smoke was thick and widespread.
"Now that we fire our furnaces off, a lot of that dusty, sooty stuff that was there gets burned," said Knaus, who added that these particulates could create respiratory issues for those living within the home.
Knaus said that while getting the furnace and air ducts checked should be done annually, it is particularly important this season because of the Waldo Canyon Fire.
"The first thing I would do is to have a licensed heating and air conditioning mechanic come out and check the system out," said Knaus.
According to Knaus, homeowners can get a tune-up, inspection and cleaning for about $100. At Cooper Heating & Cooling, this includes a carbon monoxide and gas leak check also.
Homeowners should also check their air filters. Knaus said if they appear to be discolored or have accumulated as little as 1/16 inch of dust and particulates on the filter, it needs to be replaced.
"If indoor air quality is important to you, which it should be important because we all have lungs that we need to use, it's a good idea to have your system cleaned and tuned and your duct system at least inspected to see if it's due for a tune-up or cleaning," said Knaus.

Fans attending Saturday's Nike Extravaganza at Santa Ana Mater Dei were given a sneak preview of the upcoming Southern Section Division 1AA boys' basketball playoffs.
There's a good chance that the future champion was on the court, but will it be Mater Dei, Long Beach Poly, Etiwanda or Los Angeles Loyola?
Those were the semifinalists a year ago, with Mater Dei winning the title, and there's no reason to think the same four teams won't be battling it out come the last week of February.
The one unknown factor is whether they will be able to withstand what figures to be much tougher early playoff tests thanks to a realignment that made the 1AA division off the charts in terms of depth.
Corona Centennial, Chino Hills, Mission Viejo, Santa Ana Foothill, Inglewood and Orange Lutheran are just a few of the potential obstacles that are ahead.
"It's crazy tough," said USC-bound Roschon Prince of Poly.
The Nike Extravaganza is played one week before seedings come out and offers an ideal glimpse at where the top teams stand.
Poly (22-2), ranked No. 2 in the division poll behind Mater Dei, picked up a 60-54 victory over Bellflower St. John Bosco by doing something that hasn't been a Jackrabbit strength — making free throws. The Jackrabbits made 10 of 12 free throws in the fourth quarter, led by Prince, who made six in a row and finished with 19 points.
St. John Bosco was without standout guard Isaac Hamilton, who was held out by Coach Derrick Taylor for undisclosed reasons. Tyler Dorsey scored 24 points.
Taylor has a good idea who's best in Southern California, having played Mater Dei, Poly and unbeaten Bishop Montgomery.
"No one's better than Mater Dei," he said. "I just think no one is as good as Stanley Johnson. Poly is the best defensive team we've seen."
Teams in 1AA have to be prepared for a gantlet of challenges.
"There's a lot of good teams," Orange Lutheran Coach Chris Nordstrom said after the Lancers took Las Vegas Bishop Gorman to overtime on Saturday before losing, 72-60. "We have to find a way to make it as difficult on those high-seeded teams as we can and fight to the death."
Poly and Etiwanda appear on a collision course to meeting in the playoffs for the sixth time in the last four seasons.
Etiwanda's smothering defense was in playoff form in a 51-24 victory over Loyola.
"I thought we did a great job," Coach Dave Kleckner said.
Junior guard Jordan McLaughlin had 11 points in helping the Eagles (21-2) win their 19th consecutive game.
One of the individual stars at Mater Dei was Bishop Gorman's Rashad Muhammad, brother of UCLA's Shabazz Muhammad.
With Shabazz watching, Rashad made a three-pointer with 26 seconds left in regulation to tie the game for Bishop Gorman. He finished with 24 points in the overtime victory.

Even when he's bone tired, after traveling halfway around the world, Joey DeFrancesco lights fires at the keyboards.
"Last night I played in Switzerland – tonight I'm in Chicago," the organ virtuoso told the crowd Thursday night at the Jazz Showcase. "That's not real."
If DeFrancesco was jet-lagged, his fingers didn't know it. Sure, his trio sounded a bit rough at first, and it took DeFrancesco and his colleagues awhile to figure out the acoustics of the room and find the right sonic balance among them (or something close to it).
Yet from his opening selection, "Wonderful Wonderful" – the title track of his latest recording – DeFrancesco showed many of the musical signatures that have made him the jazz world's pre-eminent Hammond B-3 player today. Lightning-quick runs, copious melodic invention, an impeccable ear for color: It was all there, just as it always is.
Everyone identifies "Wonderful Wonderful" with Johnny Mathis, who had a major hit with the tune in the 1950s, but outside of DeFrancesco's opening phrases, Mathis might not have recognized the piece. In effect, the organist took the upbeat spirit of the song and punched it up still more, producing practically an avalanche of sound. If DeFrancesco got paid by the note, he wouldn't need to tour anymore.
Guitarist Paul Bollenback and drummer Jeremy Thomas responded in kind, and a bit of a musical frenzy ensued. Maybe after being trapped in a plane for so many hours, they just had to burn off some energy. The result was a bit chaotic, until DeFrancesco and friends figured out that that much sound unleashed all at once wasn't the right idea for a room as small as the Showcase.
By the time DeFrancesco dug into an original tune, "V & G," the trio gained fuller control of the situation. The organist crafted luscious chords in his right hand and buoyant rhythms in his left, the elegance of his phrases matched by the expressiveness of his voicings.
Perhaps every great soloist seeks new challenges, which may explain why DeFrancesco chose to play trumpet in the classic "I Thought About You." Considering the stature of DeFrancesco's organ work, however, the horn solo was an unfortunate choice. In effect, DeFrancesco reminded listeners how difficult it is to master one instrument, let alone two. Using Harmon mute, DeFrancesco offered a quietly reflective version of the song, but none of the tonal nuance, improvisational creativity or individualistic voice that one expects of a jazz soloist. This was a novelty at best.
DeFrancesco returned to the organ – and to form – in a transformation of "St. Louis Blues," which became something of a romp. DeFrancesco and Bollenback traded phrases exuberantly throughout, while drummer Thomas never let the rhythmic intensity flag. And in "Wagon Wheel," also from the "Wonderful Wonderful" album, the trio conjured the spirit of the Old West – complete with Ferde Grofe-like rhythms – before DeFrancesco let loose with cascades of whirring lines.
If this is what he sounds like when he's exhausted, just think of what will happen once he gets some rest.

Taking style—not relationship—cues from theatre's most iconic couple
A long, long time ago, musical duo The Everly Brothers recorded a song called "Love Hurts." Now, history was never my strongest subject, but I'm 98% sure Billy Shakespeare had that song in mind when he wrote his tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet (his other point of reference was clearly the classic romance, Pretty in Pink).
To truly understand this tale of woe (this of Juliet and her Romeo), one must look beyond what one learned from their Grade 10 English teacher, and instead refer to the styling choices made in the two most iconic film adaptations. I'm talking, of course, of the 1968 Franco Zeffirelli and the 1996 Baz Lurhmann versions. Come join us in Fair Verona where we lay our scene.
ACT ONE: Just a Good Ol' Fashioned Family Feud
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a well thought out costume is worth pages of backstory. Costume designer Danilo Donati won an Academy Award for his job on the 1968 film, and it's easy to see why: what better way to convey the gang like confrontations between the Montagues and the Capulets than with colour-coded tights? The entire movie is like a 1960′s retrospective of the Renaissance, where even characters with violent tendencies are draped in lush fabrics and faded colours. This explains the following:
PINK TIGHTS!! Just hanging out in the background on a blink-and-you'll-miss-it extra.
Luckily for us, the overenthusiastic viewers, Baz Luhrmann also just does not do subtlety. Romeo + Juliet was, believe it or not, the first movie for costume designer Kym Barrett, though as a surprise to no one she has an extensive background in theatre costuming. (She would later go on to work on the hacker-tastic Matrix). If you're gonna have an out-and-out brawl at a gas station triggered by nothing more than some inappropriate thumb-biting, you're going to need flamboyant looks including shocking pink hair and lots of leather. Is this movie timeless? Hell no. And that's why we love it.
ACT 2: It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun
And so we come to our star-crossed lovers. Olivia Hussey as the 1968 Juliet was probably the
mane main reason why I went a year and a half without cutting my hair. Every scene in which she wears it pulled back, her hair still dominates the scene with its glossy locks and center part. You know the girl was just waiting for any opportunity to shake it out like she was in a Herbal Essences commercial. In keeping with all the soft edges of the film's aesthetic, is it any wonder that for Romeo they cast Leonard Whiting, who looks like he could be Zac Efron's great uncle? Gotta love a dude who can effortlessly pull off two-tone tights while getting into a fight.
The relationship between early-teenager Juliet and nearly-adult Romeo probably would not be that palatable to contemporary audiences, yet Lurhmann was able to keep the age difference consistent but not skeezy by casting another baby-faced blue eyed actor named Leo (that's DiCaprio. Keep up, now). Simultaneously non-threatening and able to piss off the parents of his amour, he proved to be the perfect Jordan Catalano for Claire Danes's Juliet.
I believe the costume designer for this was given the assignment: "try to put everything about the '90s into one outfit. Then amp it up by 11." A shiny, button-up, halter wedding dress WITH a high ponytail and two skinny face framing hair wisps? Is she getting married or auditioning as an extra in a Smashing Pumpkins video? Next you're going to tell me that the best man in this wedding is the guy from Bring it On.
ACT 3: Ain't No Party like a Capulet Party
In a play filled with excesses, the visual cues come to a glittering pinnacle with a riotous masquerade. It serves as the backdrop for the first meeting between two of pop culture's most melodramatic teenagers, so low-key it ain't. Zeffirelli goes for a hazy nightmarish vibe with unsettling metallic masks, at once animalistic and skeletal.
Lurhmann skips the vague drug allegories and goes straight for an ecstasy high, creating a kaleidoscope of colours heightened by the surrealism of having his entire cast in costumes that mirror their personalities.
They can star in as many gritty shows and movies like Homeland and Django Unchained as they want, but will we ever see these two as anything beyond an angel and a knight, kissing by the book?
ACT 4: The Supporting Cast Needs Your Love, Too
Ice queen Lady Capulet (Natasha Parry in 1968) drapes herself in black, curtaining her perma-scowl. Even if the Montagues and Capulets weren't feuding, methinks Romeo would still be nervous around his mother-in-law.
Whatchu brewing in that apothecary, 1968 Friar Lawrence (Milo O'Shea)? Could it be CINEMATIC ATMOSPHERE??? Somebody use this as the backdrop for a photo shoot, stat.
1996 Friar Lawrence (Pete Postlethwaite) has such an intense relationship with God he doesn't even bother buttoning up his shirt, granting the Almighty a straight route to his heart.
1996 Nurse (Miriam Margolyes) looks like somebody to whom you could confide all your problems before raiding her accessories drawer. Those shades!
This is a tragedy, after all. That ooey-gooey puppy love can't compete with the power of deep rooted hatred, poison, fake poison, swords, daggers, and (if you're Baz Luhrmann), pistols. Still, if you're gonna fake your death, you might as well do it in style. Can we see some more gauze on that ensemble, Juliet?
That's better. And how much do we love the girls of Capulet house, treating Juliet's not-not-funeral as a place to show off their duds? We love them. We love them a lot.
Romeo and Juliet, together and colour-coded for eternity.
Not to be outdone, 1996 Juliet shies away from wearing black when depressed, opting instead for an equally moody midnight blue. I mean what are you going to do, not wear a velvet dress with a pointed collar and matching beret when planning to fake your own death? That right there is exactly why you're single.
Finally, my favourite set out of both movies. LOOK AT ALL THOSE CANDLES! What I love about this is that Juliet's family didn't know that Romeo would break his way in, or that Friar Lawrence was planning to rescue her, and still they go all out in snazzing up her crypt. What does your job title have to be to ensure the lighting of dozens and dozens of ornate candles surrounding a dead body? And is there any room for advancement in that profession? Is the life expectancy at least better than a Montague in Verona?
Winner: I could waste my time trying to calculate which film had the better wardrobes, but really in both scenarios it is the audience that wins. Still, I have to give the "Best Dressed" title to anybody, we all know that 1996 Mercutio owns it.
Please don't kill yourself in the name of romance.

Hello. I just recently bought new ram (Crucial 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT25664BA1339) to upgrade to 8gb of ram. when i turn on my pc to bios, it does not show up. I have a DX580G extreme motherboard with an I7 950. I don't know whether I have the bios setup wrong, or it does not support this ram. Please help, I'll post more information if you need it. Thank you
What operating system are you using? Also, is it a 64 bit operating system?
A check of Crucials Memory page for your board here: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=DX58OG&Cat=RAM shows the exact part no you've provided as being compatible but how is ALL your memory set up on the board and what is the other (pre-existing) memory? Irrespective of your OS type, you should still get all your RAM showing in the BIOS, it's just 32 bit Windows won't access more than 4 GB of it. Have a look at the Intel page relating to memory for the DX58OG here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dx58og/sb/CS-031879.htm to see if that helps.
I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I think all the memory modules have to be the same part number. As the Kiwi noted, are all your DIMM slots populated with the same memory?
Ok all the memory I have is the exact same model. I tried testing the different slots and it turns out the 2 middle ones, dimm 2 and 5, are not working at all. Every combination fails with having memory in those dimms. but in the other 4 it worked fine having a total of 8gb right now. Also, Kiwi I checked the second link you posted and it all matches up.
when i add the memory in those dimms it gives me and error code 16 or 17: SMBUS Drivers.
It's not that the memory slots are broken it's just they have to be populated a certain way. As this board has 6 DIMM slots you'd get better perfomance with Triple Channel configuration. If you had another two identical DIMMs for the remaining empty slots then you'd get 12 GB total memory and peak perfomance.
PS you may want to try loading and saving BIOS default values to see if that clears your error.
I have 6 2gb memory sticks all identical
*I see that i made a mistake in my original post, im upgrading to have 12gb total
Firstly, make sure all of the DIMM slots are clean as even the tiniest contaminant (eg a bit of Arctic Silver) can cause problems. Also check the DIMMs are fully clipped in. If you are sure all of the DIMMs are fine (and you can check this by playing musical chairs moving them to different slots and noting the effect - if any) then try powering off the PC fully (unplugging from the mains) and removing the coin cell battery from the motherboard for 10 mins and then reinstall and load and save optimum settings in the BIOS when it next boots. If you are still not getting all the DIMMs playing ball, get in touch with the memory supplier and see if you can exchange them or at least get some help to diagnose the issue.
If definitely known good DIMMs of this type still don't show as 12 GB then it's time to get in touch with Intel re a possible motherboard problem.
PS you can edit your title in your original post to read 8 GB instead of 4 GB - I've sorted this post.
Alright, I will try cleaning out the slots, and resetting the bios. I have tried many times carefully reseating them in all slots and I know all the memory works, but I will call crucial support and see what they think. Thanks for the help.

Celebrate Native American Heritage Month
Each year, we pay tribute to the rich ancestry and traditions of Native Americans, the first Americans, during the month of November for Native American Heritage Month. Missouri's original inhabitants were peoples from several tribes, including Chickasaw, Illini, Ioway, Osage, Otoe, Quapaw, and Missouri (our state's namesake). Missouri's Native American roots are centuries old and remain a significant part of our state's unique identity.
To discover the story of early Native Americans in our area, through exhibits, including stone tools, arrowheads, beadwork, and clothing, visit the display in the Missouri State Museum on the first floor of the State Capitol.
Today, more than 72,000 Missourians identify their race, either entirely or in part, as American Indian/Alaska Native. One way to respect our history is to prevent others from discriminating against Missourians who belong to the Native American community. In fact, the Missouri Human Rights Act (MHRA) protects all Missourians from adverse treatment because of their race or ancestry and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights (MCHR) enforces the MHRA by investigating complaints made by persons who believe they have been discriminated against in employment, housing, or places of public accommodation. If you suspect you have been discriminated against due to your race or another protected category, contact MCHR at 877-781-4236 or take this quick assessment to determine if the MHRA applies to your situation.
For a complete list of Native American Heritage Month events, visit the MCHR website.

Evergreen Helicopters sold to Erickson Air-Crane
Mar 19, 2013 | 3 Comments
News-Register Staff
Evergreen Aviation has agreed to sell off its subsidary Evergreen Helicopters Inc. to Portland-based Erickson Air-Crane Inc. in a deal that could top out at $276 million, it was announced Tuesday.
The Evergreen family of companies has seen a spate of lawsuits in recent months, alleging failure to pay bills, and has had its credit sharply downgraded by Standard & Poor's, and Moody's, and in 2012, paid employees late on multiple occasions.
Erickson went public last year and operates a fleet of 14 heavy-lift helicopters. With its purchase of Evergreen helicopters, the company will add 64 aircrafts to its fleet, consisting of both helicopters and fixed-wing airplanes. The fleet serves customers around the world, with a current presence in North America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific.
Under terms of the deal, which is expected to close during the second quarter of this year, Evergreen helicopters will be acquired for $185 million in cash, $17.5 million in unsecured promissory notes issued by Erickson Air-Crane and about four million preferred shares of Erickson Air-Crane, valued at $47.5 million. An additional $26.3 million may be paid to Evergreen, contingent on certain revenue targets for the calendar years 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The sale marks the departure of Evergreen Aviation's founding business. Owner Delford Smith founded Evergreen Helicopters in 1960.

Kasparov in London: video interview
Garry Kasparov was in London last week and not only did he give a speech at an international leadership summit, but he also visited the Chess & Bridge shop to promote his new book Kasparov Vs Karpov 1975-1985. ICC's Macauley Peterson spoke with the former world champion and tonight we bring you the video interview in two parts.
Kasparov was one of many famous names who gave a speech at the international leadership summit Leaders in London, before he visited the Chess & Bridge shop of the London Chess Center on December 4th. He was promoting his new book Modern Chess Volume II, Kasparov Vs Karpov 1975-1985 (to be reviewed on this site soon!).
For over an hour Kasparov signed copies of his various books and posed for photos with shop patrons, many of whom lined up early to await his arrival. Afterwards the 13th World Champion spoke with ICC's Macauley Peterson, who posted his video interview tonight at the Chess.FM blog.
The first video starts with shop owner IM Malcolm Pein (who also runs the UK chess magazine Chess and the London Chess Center, sponsor of Mark Crowther's The Week in Chess). Then Kasparov enters the scene, and he talks about his about his Predecessors and K vs. K series, and his future plans. (See ?¢'Ǩ?ìbonus?¢'Ǩ? clip below.)

As Botvinnik wrote in the Soviet "64 Chess review" magaziine of a certain person, that person was "a small-minded, petty man though a great chess player" ("chelovek melkiy, a shakhmatist bol'shoi"} . As for political activities, they say that modern politicians irrespective of their persuasions are liars by definition pursueing their own often excessive ambitions. Not that it all mattered much here.
"I did more than I could have done in the world of chess."
It's that giving 110% football managers are so beloved of again!

I like Kasparov more when he is talking about chess than when he is talking about politics.
It's beyond me why anybody would want to invite him to talk about leadership.
5 years 4 months ago
very nice video, Kasparov is surely one of alltime best
5 years 4 months ago
A wonderful video. Anytime an ordinary mortal, like me, gets an opportunity to listen to an extraordinarily creative artist (of anything), it should be treasured. Kasparov is easily the most creative chess player of modern times. His games with Karpov (in the WCs) were of the highest quality, and it is indeed wonderful to have him annotate those games for us.

Hey !
Great interview !
Garry Kasparov is as always "alive and kicking" !
5 years 4 months ago
Other chess plans?
I don't have any other chess plans. So it's that... this book, this series keeps me busy... in writing and makes me feel happy... it's enough of chess activities.
Never feel the urge to return to the board?
No, I think I did more than I could have done in the world of chess and it's time for others to continue.
5 years 4 months ago
Kasparov still secretly yearns to return to competitive chess. He may actually do so when he fully realises his political ambitions are a joke.
5 years 4 months ago
That's a bit harsh. Don't you think he's doing some good by bringing attention to the shortcomings of the Putin regime? (Surely 'shortcomings' is to light a word.)

You can send me a couple hundred dollars but the program is free.
slantfinn used to provide a heat loss calculation programme.they discontinued it a few years back.does anyone have access to this programme and if so would you be willing to part with it for a few days,i will pay all expenses,thankyou
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
to funny,if i could i would send it.i tried to download that programme before but i have a mac and the programme is not compatable.i am no computer whizz .i tried wrightsoft to and the same result.i called taco and they said i needed some software to convert from windows to mac.im lost.now i was told from a friend a formula.it goes lxwxhx4 and that will give you the btuh for that room,what do you think.he says for years he has been using this formula.
Not even close. The program figures insulation and construction R values, window and door area, infiltration and a host of other variables that you need to be accurate.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]
the guy swears by it and says it is always pretty close.i know what you are saying about taking everything into account insulation etc,i even called slantfinn and they said they stopped making that programme a few years ago.anyway i am now looking at a hb smith boiler with an indirect tank,boiler co.says the boiler holds a lot of water preventing short cycling which will eliminate an ergomax been used as a buffer tank.what do you think.i know the right way to do it but am tight at the moment.thanks again for your help
That kind of calc is pure crap. Yes, those methods are sometimes/often close when dialed for a particular location, if "close" means it's only 2x oversized on average, but never less than 1.5x oversized for the real 99th percentile design condition load.
The Slantfin freebie tool tended to shoot ~35% oversized on average (even more than that for very tight homes), but wasn't terrible. There are better heat loss tools out there. But if you have heating fuel use history on a place with known equipment it's pretty easy to put an upper bound on the whole-house heat loss at a given outside design temperature using simple math on fuel use against heating degree-day weather history, and the steady-state efficiency of the heating equipment.
Might as well use the walk around the house and say put some base here and some there and hope for the best.
[B]No, plumbing ain't rocket science. Unlike rocket science, plumbing requires a license[B]

My Madeline and Pepito were ignorant of France. They had been raised in captivity, first in Chicago, then in Baltimore. Pepito had slingshot into his teens; time for an outing.
As Miss Clavel, I packed shapeless black robes. Who can manage Parisian stylishness? Besides, I was there for the food.
We made up for lost time. We summited the Eiffel Tower. We gasped at the Musee d'Orsay. We applauded the opera. We ate.
Meals so good, we remember almost nothing. Like waking from a dream, all that remains is a feeling of sublime satisfaction and a whiff of potato soup, creamed parsnips, roast duck and lemon curd.
Perhaps, too, the scent of creme fraiche, which translates something like "fresh cream" and tastes something like sour cream. It's cultured. And we were hungry for culture.
We loafed at Les Deux Magots, where long ago, in this adaptation of the storybook, the Ambassador had asked Miss Clavel for her hand. We twisted open the windows of our hotel room and peered out at a storefront done up in wedding dress. In the early morning, a taut young Parisian tapped her high heel on the sidewalk. Perhaps she, too, knew Deux Magots.
We gathered pebbles. Hunted macarons. Sighed. It was so short. All that remains is the scent of creme fraiche and a feeling of sublime satisfaction.
Creme fraiche
Prep: 5 minutes
Wait: 2 days
Makes: 1 cup
1 cup heavy cream (if you can find cream that's not ultra-pasteurized, all the better)
1 tablespoon cultured buttermilk
Pour cream into a clean glass jar. Stir in buttermilk. Cover, with lid slightly ajar.
Let rest at room temperature until thick and flavorful, about 36 hours.
Cover. Chill. Keeps about two weeks.

Callum Macdonald, 1912 - 1999. Printer and publisher 1996
- Scottish Art
After serving in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War, Callum Macdonald set up as a newsagent and stationer. This led to a career in printing and publishing for which he is best known. In 1953 he took over the publication of 'Lines', a newly-founded poetry magazine which, relaunched as 'Lines Review', became a vital part of the Scottish literary scene over many decades. Victoria Crowe painted this portrait at the sitter's home in Innerleithen. On the right, the artist has included a reproduction of a portrait of Hugh MacDiarmid. The original was drawn by Sydney Goodsir Smith and owned by Norman MacCaig. The image neatly unites several of the literary figures whose career had been advanced by Macdonald.

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Sure thing.
Thank you for your comment on my whiteboard. I get sad that so many people are disrespectable to the President. Even if Romney had won, it would be wrong to dispect him as well. Seems there are lots of openionated haters here on Gas Buddy. The lack of respect and the comments are terrible.
Everybody on Gas Buddy should be respectable of each other and the President as well. It's OK to disagree with Obama but be respectable. I wonder if the people who call him OBOZO would do the same if they met him at the White House. I personally feel that President Bush #2 made some BIG mistakes... but would never call him a name or say negative things about him or his family. Laura Bush was a wonderful first Lady, so Was Barbara. The job of president is a difficult job. People should remember, he can only do as much as congress will allow.
BLunderNM...yes, I did some spelunking in Carter County Caves in KY while getting my degrees @ tOSU w/ American Youth Hostels! I had a carbide lamp go out while dragging my body through the Endless Crawlway! I changed my adventures to cycling and canoeing! But it was good preparation for when I was able to relate to the many varying backgrounds of the millions of visitors I interfaced while serving in Glacier National Park. Yes, I did go into Josephine Mine on the side of Mount Grinnell overlooking Josephine Lake. Both lake and mine were named after the prospector's mule, Josephine! BTW, respond to my BuddyRequest..I've something else to add to this whiteboard post...pick up the phone! We need to chat! LOL
Here they go again. Amazing how the Big Oil cabal here really gets off on the Volt. Seems they can hate anything and anyone! Thanks for your intellegent and common sense comments, as always.
Hey batloverNm, you reported G&T gas station on North 4th st. Have you used the gas? I ask because the gas is sold as ethanol free.
Could let me know, thanks.
A BIG CONGRATS on 300 consecutive days! Awesome! Wow, another 100 days have passed again, already! : ) For some it seems pretty easy to come back each day! But for most GBs they don't seem to have the dedication or the persistence it takes to come back and post gas prices each day for other GBs! Or they just run out of gas! :( Hang onto your speed lines, it only takes one day to lose them! I'm sure you know! But even clicking on news articles links, which are the easiest points here on GasBuddy, when you can't or didn't post gas prices before midnight will save your consecutive days! : ) WARNING! Every day GBs lose their consecutive days for many reasons, many with big numbers, the #1 reason, "oops, I just forgot!" :( If you ever lose your consecutive days; that is NO FAULT of your own, please contact me! Keep posting each day to save your consecutive days! Keep going like a PRO Albuquerque GasBuddy! Have a nice weekend! Thanks!
On Friday 7/13/12, ImCheapinNJ reported on CobraLeader's Whiteboard, that CobraLeader passed away on 11 Dec 2010! I know it's been a long time since anyone has heard from CobraLeader, many GBs have been wondering what had happened to CobraLeader! :( I heard CL had more than 5,000 buddies on his buddy list and many more GBs knew of his presence here in GasBuddyland! We'll miss our buddy CobraLeader, but he'll always have GasBuddies that will remember him for being here! May CL R.I.P. : )
"Airhead Sarah Palin was a better VP choice" . . . Watch it, those are fighting words!
Thanks for stirring up all the John Birchers here today!!! Their slanted comments are just priceless and mindless.
i know what you mean about the STREAK issue - usually i get to 300 days and then forget - i hope noone was hurt when the tree blew over

Stocks came off their worst levels Monday, but still ended lower in extremely thin trading as investors remained nervous that the euro zone's debt problems may spread to other regions.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 74.70 points, or 0.61 percent, to close at 12,078.98, led by BofA and JPMorgan .
The S&P 500 declined 12.06 points, or 0.95 percent to finish at 1,251.79. The Nasdaq slid 21.53 points, or 0.80 percent, to end at 2657.22.
The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, closed above 31.
All 10 S&P sectors finished in negative territory, led by financials and energy.
"The trading patterns are predicated by the headlines coming out of the euro zone…part of this is the contagion effect—that's the largest overhanging factor that's moving markets on a daily basis and it's the lack of direction that's creating this volatility," said David Katz, senior portfolio strategist at Weiser Capital.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling Christian Democrats Union party just approved the principle of a country exiting from the euro zone, signaling a first step towards the foundation of a two-speed Europe—a region with and without the euro currency.
Meanwhile, Italy's new leader Mario Monti took up the reins as Silvio Berlusconi stepped down from his post over the weekend. Monti is expected to form a government of technocrats—non-politicians—charged with implementing austerity reforms until elections in 2013.
In Greece, new Prime Minister Lucas Papademos—a former central banker who oversaw his country's entry to the euro zone in 2002—will have to win Wednesday's confidence vote in his cabinet before meeting euro zone finance ministers in Brussels on Thursday, state television reported.
"While economic numbers indicate that things are slowly getting better, fundamentals are being ridden by lack of direction in the euro zone," Katz added. "We also have a light-volume issue for the next six weeks or so."
Credit Suisse fell after Moody's placed the banking giant's long-term rating on review, citing lackluster financial results.
Caterpillar gained after the heavy equipment maker said it will invest nearly $640 million to increase capacity for large mining trucks and tractors at two facilities in the U.S. Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs added the firm to its "conviction buy" list.
Fellow Dow component Bank of America said it reached an agreement to sell about 10.4 billion common shares of China Construction Bankthrough private transactions with a group of investors.
Boeing climbed to lead the blue-chip gainers after the aerospace and defense firm signed a $18 billion dealwith Emirates.
IBM finished flat after billionaire investor Warren Buffett told CNBC that his firm, Berkshire Hathaway , has purchased $10.7 billion worth of the tech giant's stock this year.
Among techs, Salesforce.com closed higher after Citigroup upgraded the cloud computing company to "buy" from "neutral," citing increasing confidence in the firm's long-term profitability potential.
Other Internet companies were trading higher, including Google , Amazon.com , Priceline and Baidu .
On the earnings front, JCPenney slipped after the clothing retailer posted a loss after same-store sales and gross margin declined. The firm also expects same-store sales for the holiday quarter to be flat.
Lowe's advanced after the home-improvement firm
Urban Outfitters is scheduled to post earnings after-the-bell tonight. Home Depot and Wal-Mart are slated to report results on Tuesday morning.

Spurs shock United; Chelsea beat Gunners
Tottenham secured a win over Manchester United and Chelsea were able to capitalise on Arsenal's defensive frailties to steer clear at the top of the table.
Jan Vertonghen and Gareth Bale gave the visitors a deserved half-time lead.
Not for the first time at Old Trafford in recent years, Spurs were hit by a fierce second-half fightback.
However, amid a flurry of goals, Clint Dempsey scored in between efforts from Nani and Shinji Kagawa. And, after Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick had struck the frame of Brad Friedel's goal, Andre Villas-Boas' side clung on for the final whistle to register a thrilling 3-2 Barclays Premier League triumph at Old Trafford.
The result lifted Spurs to fifth in the table - one point behind third-placed United and five adrift of leaders Chelsea, who finished the day three points clear after winning 2-1 at Arsenal in the lunchtime kick-off.
Blues captain John Terry came through a hostile reception at the Emirates Stadium as Roberto Di Matteo's side consolidated their lead.
Fernando Torres fired the visitors ahead following some poor marking by Laurent Koscielny and Juan Mata's free-kick squirmed in to secure three points for the European champions after Gervinho had equalised on the stroke of half-time.
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko struck a late winner as the champions came from behind to win 2-1 at Fulham.
Dzeko slotted home the decisive goal three minutes from time after Sergio Aguero had cancelled out Mladen Petric's early penalty.
Aguero tapped home the follow-up after Mark Schwarzer had parried Carlos Tevez's deflected shot two minutes before the interval.
Petric had sent England goalkeeper Joe Hart the wrong way from the spot after Pablo Zabaleta's foul on John Arne Riise.
In Saturday's other 3pm kick-offs, Luis Suarez netted a Carrow Road hat-trick for the second straight season as Liverpool romped to a 5-2 success against Norwich.
The Uruguay striker opened the scoring with a clinical right-footed finish in the second minute and then, seven minutes before the interval, dispossessed Michael Turner and despatched a superb curling shot with the outside of his right foot past John Ruddy to give the Reds a two-goal half-time lead.
Suarez turned provider within two minutes of the restart as on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin's first Premier League goal extended the visitors' lead, and then completed his treble with another fine curling effort.
Steve Morison pulled one back just after the hour mark but Steven Gerrard's deflected strike midway through the second half restored the Reds' four-goal cushion.
Grant Holt then slid his first goal of the campaign past Jose Reina three minutes from the end but it was scant consolation for the well-beaten Canaries.
Nikica Jelavic notched twice as Everton wrapped up a 3-1 win over Southampton before half-time after the Saints had taken an early lead through Gaston Ramirez's first goal for the club at Goodison Park.
Leon Osman latched onto a loose ball in the penalty area to smash home the equaliser before Jelavic's brace gave the Toffees a half-time cushion.
The Croatia forward first fired a left-footed shot across Paulo Gazzaniga and then directed a powerful header past the Southampton goalkeeper seven minutes before half-time.
Reading's clash with Newcastle burst into life after the break after a goalless first 45 minutes, Demba Ba maintaining his impressive start to the campaign with two more goals in a 2-2 draw.
The Royals opened the scoring in fortuitous fashion when Jimmy Kebe miscued a shot into the bottom corner in the 58th minute, but Ba's sublime volley restored parity for the Magpies a minute later.
Noel Hunt's header in the 62nd minute from Jobi McAnuff's cross put the hosts ahead for the second time, but again Ba equalised - the Senegal forward's header allowed to stand despite a hint of handball.
Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher continued his fine scoring run since his summer move from Wolves with the winner as the Black Cats toppled 10-man Wigan 1-0 at the Stadium of Light.
After an uneventful first half the game brightened up after the restart when Latics midfielder Jordi Gomez was sent off for a nasty challenge on on-loan Tottenham full-back Danny Rose.
The Black Cats took only four minutes to make their extra man count, Fletcher turning home James McClean's cross-shot for what turned out to be the winner.
Stoke's Peter Crouch was at the double to give his team a 2-0 triumph against Swansea at the Britannia Stadium.
The 6ft 7in frontman headed home the opener after 12 minutes and then tapped in a second nine minutes before the break.

The Cougars opened their Northern 4A league schedule with three straight wins, capped by a doubleheader sweep of Damonte Ranch Saturday.
Spanish Springs needed a come-from-behind 5-4 win over the Mustangs to secure the sweep after cruising to a 3-1 triumph in the early game.
Trailing 4-3 heading into the bottom of the seventh, the Purple and White were not about to see its comeback bid come up short.
Spanish Springs was down to its final two outs with the bases empty and the top of the order coming back up. Senior Bella Rovens slapped a single to left field, but got greedy trying to stretch it into a double. Luckily for the local squad, her slide into second knocked the ball free and she was called safe, breathing life into the home dugout.
Dani Smith smoked a game-tying double that rolled all the way to the fence in left field. Then it was the Cougar pitcher's turn as Brette Lawrence came to the plate and ripped a game-winning base hit to the left-center field gap, driving in pinch runner Aubrene Blas for the walk-off victory. Lawrence's second hit of the game gave her a second win in the circle.
"In the first game, I was challenging them to play a perfect game defensively, and I thought the first game they did that," SSHS softball coach Jeff Davidson said. "We got some timely hitting and some great pitching from Brette to eke out that victory. To start the second game, I don't know what happened. It wasn't my team out there. We threw the ball around. They scored a run and got the lead. What I told them after the game is one of our philosophies is to never quit, fight until the last out of the game."
Game 2 of the twin bill did not look good for the Cougars from the very first batter. Mustangs leadoff batter Adelle Oaks circled the sacks when Spanish Springs threw the ball away twice on the same play, giving the visiting squad a 1-0 lead.
With one out in the top of the third, Meghan Hospodka lofted a fly ball to shallow right field. Spanish Springs sophomore Kelsie Merritt, who had a busy day diving all over the place, tried to make a diving grab but couldn't come up with this one. Hospodka ended up on second with a double.
Chanel Bates followed with a single, but Hospodka was unable to advance. It mattered little. Damonte pitcher Kalyn Paque helped her cause with a double to the left-center field gap, plating Hospodka.
A sacrifice fly by Kerrigan Travens made it a 3-0 score.
In the bottom of the fourth frame, Spanish Springs finally got on the scoreboard. Sidney Sinclair crushed a triple to deep left field to lead off the inning. Two batters later, a sac fly to right allowed a run to score.
The Mustangs went up 4-1 in the top of the fifth. Bates recorded the second of her three hits in the second game with one out. She later scored on the Cougars' third error of the game when a throw to first got away.
However, the Cougars battled back in the bottom half of the inning and pulled within one run, setting up the last-inning comeback.
Three walks loaded the bases in the fifth. With two outs, Sinclair dumped a shallow double into center field that was just out of reach of a dive. Two runs scored on the play, cutting the deficit to 4-3.
Sinclair was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate, leading the Cougars' seven-hit attack.
"Damonte is a great team. We just happened to come out on top today," Davidson said. "They're going to battle until the end as well. They've got a great hitting team, good defense, and excellent pitching. Today we happened to do enough to come out on top."
In the early game, Lawrence was solid and Spanish Springs never felt threatened despite falling behind 1-0.
To start the third, Oaks hit a back-spinning pop up in the infield. SSHS shortstop Bayley Broadwater dove and got a glove on it but the ball squirted away toward the dugout, allowing Oaks to get to second base.
Bates drove her home with an RBI single past a diving Broadwater for Mustangs' lone run. Lawrence only allowed one hit over the final four innings.
Spanish Springs didn't take long to answer back. In the bottom of the third, a Lawrence RBI single sent Merritt home, who had led off the inning with a line drive base knock to left field. Sinclair followed Lawrence with her own RBI single, connecting on an 0-2 pitch.
The Cougars added an insurance run in the sixth. Ally Batastini singled and came home on a Alyx Penrod pinch-hit single, accounting for the final 3-1 margin. Batastini had two of her team's six hits.
Spanish Springs (6-2, 3-0 in Northern 4A) is off until Thursday when it hosts Douglas at 3:45 p.m.

PBX - private branch exchange
Short for private branch exchange, a private telephone network used within an enterprise. Users of the PBX share a certain number of outside lines for making telephone calls external to the PBX.
Most medium-sized and larger companies use a PBX because it's much less expensive than connecting an external telephone line to every telephone in the organization. In addition, it's easier to call someone within a PBX because the number you need to dial is typically just 3 or 4 digits.
A new variation on the PBX theme is the centrex, which is a PBX with all switching occurring at a local telephone office instead of at the company's premises.

After reading the post on gizmodo saying that a user that unlocked their iPhone using iPhoneSimFree was successful in updating to v1.1.1, I decided to take the plunge. It was a complete success.
Here are the steps I did to update:
1. restored iPhone with v1.02 (apple key + restore in iTunes)
2. restored with v1.1.1
All went well. The ONLY thing that I can is a little off is that my phone number in iTunes shows up as "n/a". Other than that, I'm on AT&T, I'm able to make calls, etc.
I guess the $50 for the unlock was worth it afterall.
Good luck to others that used iPhoneSimFree.
1. Replaced the AT&T SIM with a Tmobile pre-paid and it was NOT recognized.
2. After a reboot, my phone number is now showing up in iTunes.
3. Phone still locked to AT&T, unlocking did NOT work!!!

I bought my blender about a month ago but didn't use it. Then one day I had some drink mix in the cabinet and decided to to use the blender. Wow, it blended the ingredients so perfectly that my guest were all impressed. It scored a 7.0 in a scale of one to 6.

I was given this as a gift, had I been the original purchaser...I wouldn't have bought this item. The machine has only two speeds and a "pulse" setting. The blades are shaped in a manor that will not allow them to chop and blend any ice or frozen fruit well. It creates the "air pocket" near the blades and will not blend up a stiff smoothie well either. I make a daily shake/smoothie and this product makes it a challenge each day. I usually have to put in 3 or 4 pieces of ice at a time until it finally chops most of it up, then add milk, powder, fruit, etc... I can't make it very stiff or it wont blend it well, and by the time I'm done making the smoothie the motor is a little hotter than it should be. Mine is less than a year old and the seal/bearing on the blade shaft is starting to leak/not hold liquids. Overall, I would not recommend this product to anybody that needs to blend cold drinks and/or frozen items.

I bought this blender and, like everyone else, am appalled that they even still sell it. I figured that they would have taken it off the market quickly once realizing how HORRIBLE it is! While blending vegetables for gazpacho, mainly tomatoes, it began to smoke because it couldn't blend them! Can you give no stars? Do NOT buy this blender!

I can't believe they would sell a blender as bad as this one. It simply doesn't work very well. Like another reviewer's experience, my new blender can't even blend bananas or melons. It leaves small chunks no matter how long I run it. I've tried different speeds to no avail. Wouldn't they test the product before selling it. This blender replace a 10+ year old $17.99 Hamiltion Beach blender that worked perfectly for quite a few years of daily use.
Los Angeles, CA

Do not purchase this blender. The motor and blades do not work. I cannot make a simple sauce with tomatoes and chili peppers. Does anyone have the warranty customer telephone number. I will like to get my money back. I lost my receipt and threw away the manual and box.

I bought this about 11 months ago and have used it maybe 5 times if that and it just broke the blade mechanism as other people have posted about thier unit. This thing is junk as I think there was a design flaw I guess I am out of luck now.
, San Mateo CA

I bought this blender few months ago and I am returning it tomorrow it stopped working, by the way it would not blend even bananas and some apple juice it is absolutely hopeless. I wish Sears will remove it from their stores.

Have had blender less than 4 months. Used to make milkshakes about once a week. Last time it worked it started to whine and smoke. No receipt No warranty. Hadn't kept receipt because I only expected it to last about 1 yr anyway Any ideas where to buy a good blender that will last?
Houston, TX
via sears.com
I just wanted to make some frozen drinks, is that so difficult? Apparently for this blender it was. I was using ice cubes from my freezer, not big chunks out of a bag. Even when I left it roaring for two minutes, it still couldn't blen it all. The closest I came was when I pre-crushed my ice as it came out of the freezer. But even with that there were too many pieces to use a straw. Now I understand the difference between the $40 and the $200 blenders. I give it two stars, only because it looks nice and the pitcher is glass.

Fact Checking the Mayor's State of the City Address
Vacants to Value's numbers don't add up
Published: February 20, 2013
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has staked her career on an ambitious 10-year plan to revamp the way Baltimore City does business, saying the old ways are unsustainable. In her annual State of the City address, she cited a new, $585,000 consultant's report that predicts $750 million in structural deficits over the next decade and laid out a plan for bold "reforms," including a renegotiation of the payments in lieu of taxes that city nonprofits make and a possible end to city employee pension plans, which she called "outdated" and "unsustainable."
Key to Rawlings-Blake's plans are the figures she cites. In her speech, the mayor cited numbers that should be easily verifiable—but aren't. Chief among these derive from her Vacants to Value initiative, a much-touted two-year-old effort that aimed to renovate 1,500 vacant city houses in its first year.
"Since launching the initiative, 250 vacants have been torn down, nearly a thousand more are being rehabbed, and sales of vacant, city-owned properties have increased fivefold," Rawlings-Blake told the packed City Council chamber on Feb. 11. "And it has spurred $47 million in private investment in our neighborhoods."
City Paper asked Baltimore Housing to substantiate those numbers. It was a repeat of questions we asked back in November, when the mayor had tents and balloons set up on the Broadway median strip to celebrate the initiative's two-year anniversary ("Still Pretty Vacant," Mobtown Beat, Dec. 5, 2012). We received a partial response to our latest inquiry, with the promise of more numbers later this week. Three months ago, Baltimore Housing spokesperson Cheron Porter cited the V2V website as the source for all relevant statistics.
But the numbers there are not comprehensive and are, in some cases, contradictory.
For example, the Housing Department's eight-page "2 Years of Successes" report says on succeeding pages that 450 and 400 rehabs have been completed or are underway. The relationship between those two figures is not clear in the report, and the addresses are not listed on the V2V website.
The addresses that are listed by V2V are 778 property sales, of which 261 are noted as "Vacant Lot." That would leave, at most (because some properties are unspecified as to whether there is a building or not), 517 vacant buildings available for rehab.
A random check of 10 such units found permits have been pulled for only five—and one of those was a demolition permit.
Four are under renovation, according to permit records.
If 40 percent of the 517 buildings Baltimore sold under V2V are being rehabbed now, that's about 207 rehabs, which is pretty good. But it's not 1,000. Even if all 517 were being rehabbed, it would be a shadow of the 1,500 goal the initiative set for its first year.
V2V also fines owners of derelict properties to spur renovation. The website features a map of such "target areas," but there is no efficient way to extract the data from it.
Porter provided a list of the fined properties. "Under Vacants to Value there are 2 types of citations ($900 & $250) in targeted areas," she says in an email. "As of February 13, we have now issued just over 1,000 of the $900 citations (for failing to rehab a vacant), as well as over 1,200 of the $250 citations (for failing to address a non-vacant violation)."
The mayor's $47 million figure is now more than $48 million, Porter says, adding that the "number is conservative in that it does not include acquisition costs or soft costs, only construction costs voluntarily self-reported by those pulling permits. More than 25 [percent] of the permits have no estimated cost of work reported, and so don't contribute to the $48.2 [million] number even though work is clearly taking place."
The data supplied does not include building permit information, though Porter says they total roughly "6,500 permits on 2,160 properties. Large-scale developments are not included in this tally."
That would be more than double the mayor's claim.
Left unsaid is how many permits would have been pulled regardless of the V2V program and other government policies. The program itself seemed to be tracking its effects more narrowly. On the V2V website, under the title "Track Our Progress," the city claims 533 rehabs underway as a result of "streamlined code enforcement" and another 418 rehabs under "Community Development Clusters." That would amount to 951 rehabs, right in line with the mayor's claim. The addresses are not listed, however, so there is no way to check the buildings to see if they are, indeed, being renovated.
That same page lists 117 demolitions, a bit fewer than half the demolition figure cited by Rawlings-Blake in her speech.
The city's permits-search website has a date feature which should allow anyone to see how many building permits have been pulled in the city since November of 2010. But it doesn't work.
In short, there is no way to independently verify the mayor's numbers. A comprehensive audit of the city's books would clarify the situation, but the mayor has resisted such audits.
"Our charge is to grow Baltimore, to rebuild a thriving city where more families choose to live," Rawlings-Blake said in her address. "But we cannot build the foundation of a growing city on the mud of a fiscal swamp."
The city's fiscal condition is not the only thing that's clear as mud.

The month of November has taken on added importance in recent years with the growth of Movember, a charity that encourages men to grow mustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues. Men and women are encouraged to participate by visiting Movember.com. Last year, SI teamed up with the staff at Movember to create a dream list of athletes and sports figures we want to grow a mustache starting with everyone's favorite NBA analyst, Jeff Van Gundy.
