Along with being quite possibly the only place on Earth (well, the only place on Earth outside of prison) where you might able to purchase Kevin Hart DVDs, lobster rolls, sneakers, lightly-used cocaine, and insurance all in the same day, the barbershop is one of the few places that consistently manages to at least whelm. Perhaps you wont be overwhelmed, but you won't be underwhelmed either. While other entities sometimes have a mystique that surpasses the experience, no one ever visits a popular Black barbershop for the first time and leaves thinking "That kinda sucked. Don't know what the big deal was."
This experience is largely due to the fact that the barbershop's dynamic ensures that there will be a diverse group of men—students, garbagemen, drug dealers, teachers, lawyers, bloggers, etc—of all ages. And, when you sit a diverse group of men in the same general area—with no women around—conversations happen. Interesting conversations. Conversations that you may not be able to have anywhere else.
For instance, last week the discussion was centered around the new season of Love and Hip-Hop. And by "the new season of Love and Hip-Hop" I mean "Tahiry Jose's religion-inducing ass." For the uninitiated, Tahiry Jose is the ex-girlfriend of B-minus-list rapper Joe Budden. She was made internet famous a couple years ago when Budden would occasionally release mundane home videos of him and Tahiry doing things like "making dinner," "arguing about soap," and "sitting on chairs." In each video, though, Tahiry's, um, assets were the protagonist, antagonist, climax, rising action, and exposition, and this exposure led to her being featured in numerous Black magazines, several videos, and now Love and Hip-Hop.
Anyway, the conversation then segued to Joe Budden's dating history. Now, despite the fact that I'm sure there will be a few of you who are hearing Joe Budden's name right now for the first time ever, he has two very notable claims to fame in certain segments of the Black male population.
1. He's one of the best mixtape/freestyle rappers ever. (And, to be clear, not freestyle in the "top of the dome" sense, but freestyle in the "spit 16 or 32 written bars over someone else's hot beat while you're in the studio on Shade 45″ sense)
2. His dating history.
From Esther Baxter and Gloria Velez to Yaris Sanchez and Tahiry Jose, Budden has been romantically linked to a dozen or so of the most famous (and unfortunately named) video vixens and internet models ever. While none of these women are household names, any male (Black, White, or Laker Fan) familiar with any of the popular urban magazines (King, XXL, Smooth, etc) definitely know who each of them are.
(There's also a popular sub-conversation about Budden's history that basically asks "How the hell is he able to bag all these sought after women?" There are a few theories—he makes great use of social media, he's well-endowed, etc—but mine is a bit less flattering. I think the only difference between ***insert random rapper or ball-player*** and Joe Budden is that while ***insert random rapper or ball-player*** may sleep with these women on the low, Budden lets everyone know who he happens to be dating. Basically, for people in those circles, these women aren't really sought after at all, and he just makes public what others are doing privately)
This knowledge prompted one of the patrons in the shop to remark "Budden is f*cking winning! Don't no one have a badder batch of bitches than he does." While I was appreciating the unexpected burst of alliteration, the entire shop predictably co-signed. Emboldened with confidence, he took it a step further.
"Shit, Jigga aint even f*cking with him right now."
The utter audaciousness of that statement quieted the chorus of co-signs. One of the barbers made a face so stank it looked like buffalo just pissed in his beard. Undeterred, he continued.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beyonce is the baddest chick in the game and all that. But would you rather have Beyonce or a different Beyonce every month?"
Surprisingly, he was quickly and vehemently shot down. (I honestly was surprised how unanimously that particular population of men disagreed with him.) A statement made by one of the older barbers summed up the general sentiment.
"That's your age talking, yo. Beyonce is a dimepiece worth a billion dollars. The point of the game is to end with the best chick possible and build something with her. Game over. End of discussion. You a f*cking fool if you think otherwise."
Regardless of how you may personally feel about Beyonce, I'm assuming that the vast majority of the people reading this agree with the barber. While a revolving door of King cover girls may seem appealing, ultimately the best, the most mature, and the smartest thing to do would be to find one woman to build with, a woman who brings her own considerable goods to the table. In the game of life, Jay-Z is beating Budden so badly that they're not even keeping score anymore.
But, if you remove Beyonce, Budden, Jay-Z, and the video vixens from the discussion, the conversation changes. If given the choice between A) meeting the person of your dreams and spending the rest of your life with that person or B) meeting, dating, sleeping with an assembly line of unfathomably attractive mates, which do you choose?
The "obvious" answer, the politically correct answer, and my answer are all the same: Finding the person of your dreams, and maintaining a good to great relationship with them is the easy choice. But, this choice isn't so obvious to everyone. George Clooney, Derek Jeter, John Mayer, and, shit, Rihanna—all people who have the ability to date pretty much whoever they want and have been romantically linked with dozens of different extremely attractive mates—might argue that option B is better, and they'd each probably have a very convincing argument.
There's still no doubt in my mind that when comparing a Jay-Z (a person who has met and married the "person of their dreams") and a Budden (a person who meets and "greets" a different woman of a hundred thousand wet dreams every month), the Jay-z is definitely "winning." But, I also have to admit that not every one plays the game the same way (or for the same purpose), and just because I think you're playing wrong doesn't mean you're not "winning" too.

" I just wanted to send you this letter to thank you for the dramatic results I have experienced in the first three weeks of taking CellRenew. For the past twenty years, I have been living with severe lower back pain. I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc disorder in the L2,L3, and L4 vertebrae. Orthopedists have recommended cortisone injections or surgery. Both were unacceptable to me.
"CellRenew hydrolyzed collagen is working! My knee is coming around. Hopefully, I will be running again in the not too distant future. I want to start training for a triathlon, next year - no, not the Iron Man. I'm not quite that good. I will keep you posted, but so far, CellRenew is making a definite difference."
"I just visited my doctor. My doctor says that I am amazing and wanted to know what I am doing, and what I am taking. I talked about CellRenew and how I have been taking it a couple of years. It has made an amazing difference in my knees. My doctor took down all the information. It really works as an antiaging product. I know I feel a lot better with it, than I would have without it."
"Fourteen months ago - diagnosed with scoliosis, osteoarthritis of the spine and degenerative disc disease - my active life was gone, by all indications, forever. I was in excruciating pain most of the time. Putting on shoes or stockings, or climbing into bed caused screaming pain. On the xray, my spine looked like a rock pile.
" I wanted to tell you all about how thrilled I am with CellRenew. I have been taking CellRenew for just over a year now. I have not had a single ache or pain in at least 10 months. I have experienced no side effects, except one good side effect. I have changed my eyeglass prescription, twice! Both times were for the better! My eyesight is improving. What could be better than that? "
" I have been using CellRenew for several years, now. I am very happy with the product. Not only is it helping all my joints, skin, hair, etc..., I have noticed recently that my thumbs don't make the popping, snapping noise that they used to make. What a fabulous product. "

Let's Do It Again: De La Salle clinches fourth straight state title
California, Florida and Georgia are all wrapped up. Now only the Texas state finals remain unsettled. A familiar name conquered in California while a major upset altered the Texas landscape.
De La Salle reigns: Most California high school football enthusiasts probably know that De La Salle has won four consecutive CIF Open Division state titles. And to the nation, De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) is known as a West Coast powerhouse. Most of the state and some of the nation can usually see De La Salle once a year, sometimes twice. The Spartans are occasionally featured in an early-season intrastate matchup against regional powerhouse, but fans can always see them in the state championship.
De La Salle's sterling reputation is almost solely attributable to head coach Bob Ladouceur. Over 34 seasons, the Spartans set a national record with a 151-game winning streak and won 28 CIF North Coast Section championships, 17 California state championships and seven national championships (as determined by assorted media outlets). Saturday's 48-28 victory over Centennial (Corona, Calif.), the Spartans' fourth consecutive CIF Open state championship, may have been the legendary coach's last.
It is rumored that Ladouceur will be stepping down after this season, but his retirement has been rumored before. He publicly stated that he was considering retirement "after this year or next" and when asked about it after the game simply said that he was "just going to enjoy this one."
If Saturday's game was Ladouceur's last, then his 2012 side sent him off a champion.
The Spartans knocked off a surging Centennial (Corona, Calif.) side, which had set the single-season state record for total offense just one week earlier. Capitalizing on a series of early Centennial mistakes and displaying its trademark power running game, De La Salle raced out to an early 21-point lead in the first half. The Huskies made a concerted comeback effort in the second half, but never got any closer than 14 points.
It was widely assumed that Ladouceur's team could go undefeated in the regular season, but a series of lukewarm midseason victories didn't excite pundits enough. But, naturally, the Spartans ended the season at the top thanks to running back Tiapepe Vitale and quarterback Chris Williams.
De La Salle has a linebacker trio (Michael Hutchings, Victor Egu and David Moffitt) and a defensive end (Austin Hooper) that should all receive Pac-12 scholarships by the time National Signing Day arrives in February. It may have been Laudouceur's final game, and it merely cemented the well-known reality in California high school football: De La Salle is, has always been, and will probably continue to be king.
Allen continues dream season: Allen (Texas) started the 2012 season in the national news when it opened a $60 million football stadium that looked like a nice college football venue instead of a field graced by high schoolers every week. In the first official game on that field, the Eagles shut out the defending state champion, 24-0.
And now, in back-to-back weeks, Allen has rather easily dispatched of two of the state's renowned powerhouses. Two weeks ago, it beat Skyline (Dallas), a team rife with Division-I prospects; The Eagles took care of the Raiders 37-17.
This past weekend, Allen knocked off DeSoto (Texas), a team considered by several outlets to be the best in the nation with a multifaceted, high-powered offense.
In a battle of two squads nicknamed the Eagles, Allen took home the game with a huge third quarter to win 51-36 at SMU's Gerald J. Ford Stadium in University Park, Texas. Allen led only 21-14 at half, but scored three consecutive touchdowns in the third quarter -- off of a kickoff return and two touchdown runs -- to blow the game open.
Allen kept the prolific DeSoto offense down for long enough to build its 28-point third quarter lead in the third quarter. DeSoto finished the game with 473 yards of offense, but 371 of those yards came through the air -- a stark difference from its usual run-based ground game. The Eagles advanced to the Class 5A-I State Championship against Lamar (Houston) next week at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
Quick hits: Katy (Texas) fought off Steele (Cibolo, Texas) 45-33 to advance to the Class 5A-II state final to play Cedar Hill (Texas). It was the first game that Katy didn't completely annihilate its opponent, as it stretched out its second half offense to outlast the resilient Knights. ... Apopka (Fla.) won the Class 8A Florida state championship with a wild 53-50 win over Cypress Bay. It marked the first time that a team has scored 50 points in a state final and lost. Apopka scored on seven drives of 80 yards or more. ... Wyomissing (Pa.) surprised state powerhouse Aliquippa with a 17-14 win in the PIAA Class AA Championship in Hershey, Pa. Anchored by future Notre Dame linebacker Alex Anzalone, Wyomissing stalled an Aliquippa offense that entered the game averaging over 49 points a game. ... Granite Bay (Calif.) hadn't scored an offensive touchdown all night against Long Beach (Calif.) Poly's defense, but it compiled a six-play, 77-yard drive to score a touchdown with 1:12 remaining that clinched a 21-20 win over Poly in the CIF Division I State Championship Bowl game. ... North Allegheny (Wexford, Pa.) set a state title record by scoring 63 points in its 63-28 rout of Coatesville (Pa.) in the PIAA Class AAAA Championship.
And to the rankings:
Record: 14-0
Previous rank: 1
Last week: Season over -- finished state champions

Last week: Defeated Steele (Cibolo, Texas) 45-33 in the Class 5A Division II Area semifinals

The Tigers had to claw a bit more than usual, but they head to Cowboys Stadium undefeated for their first state title appearance since 2009.
Record: 15-0
Previous rank: 5
Last week: Defeated Centennial (Corona, Calif.) 48-28 in the CIF Open Division championship
Another perfect season for the Spartans and another two trophies to bring back to campus. California's finest program completes another spectactular season.
Record: 14-1
Previous rank: NR
Last week: Defeated No. 3 DeSoto 51-36 in the Class 5A Division I Area semifinals
Next week: vs. Lamar (Houston) in the Class 5A Division I Area championship
Yes, the Eagles have lost a game this season (it was 27-24 to vaunted Coppell), but this victory is too impressive not to launch them into the rankings. DeSoto ran all over every team it faced this season, but could not reach 100 yards rushing until the fourth quarter against Allen.
Record: 15-0
Previous rank: 6
Season concluded -- finished state champions.

Last week: Defeated Lovejoy (Ga.) 21-14 in the Georgia Class 6A championship
Star running back Alvin Kamara made a tremendous final impression to college recruiters, scoring two fourth quarter touchdowns in Norcross's stunning comeback. The Blue Devils trailed 14-3 entering the final 12 minutes, but Kamara scored on a 61-yard touchdown reception and a 10-yard touchdown run to clinch the inaugural 6A title. Kamara is still deciding between Alabama and Georgia.
Record: 16-0
Previous rank: NR
Last game: Defeated Opelika (Ala.) 31-0 in the AHSAA State Championship (12/7)
We never gave Hoover proper respect for its dominating all of its competition this season. The Buccaneers won every game by at least two scores and only allowed 20 points or more twice this season.
Next five: Our Lady of Good Counsel (Olney, Md.), Archbishop Moeller (Cincinnati), Trinity (Louisville), Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas), Booker T. Washington (Miami)
Dropped Out: No. 3 DeSoto (Texas), No. 9 Centennial (Corona, Calif.)

Douglas shot a team score of 374, coming in ahead of Manogue at 389 and …

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
The ASUS MeMO Pad 7 Android tablet.
ASUS has today unveiled the MeMO Pad, a low-cost, 7in Android tablet that will sell for less than Google's Nexus 7 device.
The MeMO Pad will be available in Australia in "early March" and will sell for $199. Google's Nexus 7 tablet, which is also manufactured by ASUS, starts from $249 in Australia for the 16GB model.
The ASUS MeMO Pad appears to be targeted at users who may consider the Nexus 7 above their budget. It features a 7in display with a resolution of 1024x600, has 1GB of RAM and is powered by a 1GHz dual-core Cortex A9 processor. It includes a 1-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls but does not have a rear-facing camera for still photos.
Unlike the Nexus 7, the MeMO Pad has a microSD card slot for memory expansion, so users can expand the 8GB or 16GB of internal memory. The tablet runs the Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software, though ASUS has not confirmed whether it will be upgradeable to the latest 4.2 version.
At 358g, the MeMO Pad is slightly heavier than the Nexus 7. It will be available in three colours including white, titanium grey and pink. ASUS says the tablet includes a non-slip, diamond-patterned finish on the back which makes it easy to hold.
ASUS will pre-load a number of its own applications on the MeMO Pad including SuperNote Lite and the BuddyBuzz social network aggregator. The company will also provide 5GB of lifetime storage through the ASUS WebStorage service.
The ASUS MeMO Pad will be sold in Australia through authorised ASUS resellers and major retailers including JB Hi-Fi, Dick Smith Electronics, Bing Lee and Leading Edge.
The launch of the ASUS MeMO Pad comes just days after HP announced it was entering the Android tablet market with the Slate 7, a low-cost 7in Android tablet.
The HP Slate 7 will also sell for $199 when it becomes available in Australia sometime in April.
Are you in the market for a low-cost tablet and if so, would you consider the ASUS MeMO Tab? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
• HP's Slate 7 is cheaper than the Google Nexus 7

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Step 1: Materials
- 1/2 inch hardware cloth
- two large surplus bicycle rims
- 4 rollers and bolts to attach
- a little over 8 feet of dimensional lumber
- misc. wires for connecting the hardware cloth to the rims
Step 2: Remove the spokes from the rims
Step 3: Cut the hardware cloth to fit inside the rims
Step 4: Attach the hardware cloth to the rims

With an assistant, I was able to sift about 8 cubic yards of compost last weekend. In two more weekends, the entire pile (35 feet long and 15 feet wide) will be sifted. Everyone with a sizeable compost pile would do well to build one of these.
Incidentally, I added 2 aluminum strips (about 1.5" wide, with an "L" profile) to the inside of the screen, to help lift compost as the drum turns. But I don't think these pieces made much difference.
Try putting the locking end on the inside instead of the outside.
I also found free bike tire rims from a local bike co-op. They also suggested the local metal recycle business for free bike tire rims.
I got 26" rims free. (24.5" inside diameter for 77" hardware cloth minimum length)
Thanks for this well built instructable. (I always want to read this as Indestructable!)
Because the sifter part is a bit wider and longer than my cart, I lose some fines out the sides and at the last few inches of the trommel. It's not enough to be a problem, but if you want to go for maximum recovery and minimum work, putting the trommel on sawhorses over something wide enough to catch all the fines would work.
A landscaper saw it today and was most impressed. He's going to build a couple of longer ones (with some angle iron for strength) to fit over his trailer so he can get the trash out of mulching materials.
Ha, ha, ha! That's hilarious! I notice they hung a nice big ham hock out in front to tantalize him. ;)

Hello, I am in the process of converting several older Flash websites to work without Flash. Adobe Edge has been great for the animated parts, but what I am finding is there are certain things that are difficult to emulate.
The first is how Flash keeps everything in a container so to speak. You can have a main page that loads in other pages while at the same time music is playing (with a controller) regardless of what page you are on.
How would you do this in HTML/CSS? Do most people use frames and have the music player in a separate frame? Or is there a way to load other pages/code into part of an existing page? Any references to examples would be extremely helpful. Thanks! -Derryl

Nancy, thanks for the links. I tried the demo link above but it wouldn't play in Safari. The button would change to play but no music. Clicking again wouldn't set it back to the off position.
In Firefox it worked correctly. I went through your different ways of having music continuously, I guess none of those apply since the site is so large. It's amazing that in close to 20 years of browsers they are just starting to deal with audio... Thanks -Derryl
Works for me in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE on Win Vista.

When the U.S. Congress, the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department are burning the midnight oil, there's no doubt that the pressure's cooking as well at Domino's Pizza Team Washington. The franchise, which was launched in 1983, has delivered pizzas through the administrations of three presidents and a host of government crises, from the Gulf War to the impeachment trial.
President Frank Meeks has seen his franchise grow during the past 16 years from one store to 58 in the District of Columbia area, with a team of 1,700 people. He's also built something just as strong--a culture of motivation in one of the lowest-paid industries around. He's always looking for new ways to reward his people, everything from "Customer Service Hero" buttons, which are awarded to people who go beyond the call of duty, to a franchise-wide pep rally he holds once a year, to shopping sprees, trips, even cars.
"There is probably not a boss in any business in the world who does not understand that the customer is the one boss we all work for," says Meeks. "The challenge is to get the people who are actually serving the customer to understand that. For me, it works well to provide incentives. The way you treat your employees is the way they are going to treat your customers."
Meeks knows just what it's like being one of those employees, having spent his early days delivering pizzas for Domino's Pizza in Biloxi, Miss. After graduating from the University of Southern Mississippi with majors in political science and English, he aspired to be a lawyer. To put himself through school, he began delivering pizza with a borrowed car in September 1979 and by February 1980, he had advanced to the management trainee program. Before long, he was a store manager and decided to put his law career on hold because he enjoyed what he was doing.
Menu of Incentives Incentives have been crucial to Meeks' business since he got that first store off the ground. "We told the store if employees set a certain sales record and met that sales goal, we would take everyone on a shopping spree to Foot Locker," he recalls. That was in 1983. The idea has since evolved into a shopping spree incentive, where employees gather at a nearby mall in uniform, each with $100 and 30 minutes to spend it. "The goals are pretty tough and not easily attainable," he says. "And the only way a store can reach its goal is if everyone in the store is working toward it."
Incentive programs target every level of employee, from managers to pizza makers, from counter people to delivery people. Meek recently took the managers of his top-performing stores on a ski trip to Aspen, Colo. "Some programs just developed over the years," he says. "And for others, I have just come up with ideas." Meeks does all the planning himself, with help from his office staff, since there is no in-house incentive department.
Meeks' favorite contest is the annual search for the world's fastest pizzamaker. It culminates every year in a championship held at Domino's company-wide conference. "Every one of my stores has a fastest pizzamaker contest, with a prize, then we have a quarterly contest in my franchise, and the winner gets $1,000. If they go on to win the world championship, Domino's Pizza gives them $10,000 cash and I buy them a new car." Meeks' employees have won the title for nine years out of the 14 that the contest has been held.
Tracking the Results These programs and contests have helped Meeks become Domino's most successful franchisee--he owns 10 of the top 20 stores in the world. He also believes that incentive programs make a difference when it comes to retention. "In the early 1990s, I had unemployed computer programmers working for me. Today, we have four percent unemployment.
"It's the same for everybody," he continues. "How do you keep good people in an industry that faces constant turnover challenges? My answer is that you have got to be different. You have to give something back to the employee.
"Too few businesses do that," he concludes. "It's a challenge to determine how much of your budget you will dedicate to incentives versus marketing. Many of our competitors have put all their money in marketing. In our case, incentives have given us the results."

Ghana players have been practising penalties pretty intensely ahead of Saturday's quarterfinal clash with Cape Verde at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars have suffered cruel penalty misses at major tournaments in the past and coach Kwesi Appiah is looking to banish the demons.
In preparation for the knock out stage of the competition the squad took some time in Wednesday's training session at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University to rehearse.
Among manager Kwesi Appiah's first five penalty takers will be Mubarak Wakaso, Kwadwo Asamoah, Christian Atsu and a few others.
Captain Asamoah Gyan has opted out of taking penalties in regulation time for Ghana but would be happy to step up if required in the shoot-out.
Source: Supersport
Well, dats a gud muv. Go BS go..
It's a very good foresight but Ghana will win before the final whistle. 2-0 to Ghana.
But prepare goalkeeper Adjei very well so when the eventuality occurs he will be in the post
Dats a very-very good approach by Kwasi Appiah we are solidly behind u go Black Stars go
u guys dont listen. aa, allow the boys to practice at DAWN OR DUSK. IF YOU CAN CONVERT PENALTIES WHEN ITS DARK. YOU WILL BE MUCH SUCCESSFUL AT CONVERTING PENALTIES, FREE KICKS, CORNER KICKS N COMPLETE PLAYS DURING THE DAY TIME. ITS COMMON SENSE
Don't expose your 'trade secrets'.
exactly …. too detailed be less detailed
Coach Appiah you are the right man for the job. "Practice makes perfect" Do not leave any stone unturned getting the lads ready for Saturday and the rest of the tournament. To convert penalties you must practice to be skilled at it. Keep stats on the best poised converters at practice and use them during the game or if necessary during a shootout.
Cape Verde are good at counter attacks so AA should warn Derek about those short midfield inaccurate passes.GH will win by 2-0.
I hope Cape Verde doesn't defend with 11 in the box. No Jose Mourinho bus defending pls……………….
another technique I Mr. Pito, want you to practice is counterattack. SET UP 4 ATTACKERS WITH THE BALL AGAINST 3 DEFENDERS AND SEE IF THEY CAN GET THE BALL INTO THE NET IN 15 SECONDS. If they fail correct their passess and positioning and RESTART.
also include cardiac fitness training and running a lot.
A.A to be an ultimate coach you need to be innovative. kudos.
Danie Ajei My Goal Keeper Choice for Penalty Kicks:
The coach should note this, because he is the best in Ghana when it comes to stopping penalty kicks. I urge Appiah to make immediate change in the goal keeping department if penalty kicks are to be taken. Daniel Ajei is no doubt the best in this department. Good luck Black Stars!!!
Use Daniel Ajei for all Ghana penalty kicks. Nigeria is very wise in this department. Anytime Nigeria goes for penalties, goal keeper Dele Adenuga is called upon. Ghana shoulld do the same with Daniel Ajei. Good luck Black Stars

I'm the type of person who's bemused at vegetarians more than anything else. "To each their own" is the mantra I try to live by, even if "their own" means looking down at others who don't ascribe to their philosophical beliefs about food.
But sometimes…sometimes they make me laugh out loud.
Take the simple idea of "cacciatore". Most of us have a basic idea of what cacciatore means in the culinary sense. A meat of some sort, braised in a tomato sauce, mixed with variations of mushrooms, onions, various herbs and wine.
The word itself is a different matter. "Cacciatore" translates into "hunter", meaning that when a dish is served cacciatore, it's served in the "Hunters style". Pollo Cacciatore (sometimes seen as pollo alla cacciatore) translates rougly to Hunters style Chicken. Coniglio Cacciatore means approximately "Hunters style rabbit". You get the picture.
Presumably, the dish was served to game hunters in Italy, on those cold, brisk autumn days. After a day of being in the damp forest, shooting at local pheasants, boars, or other wild game, the hunters would sit down to a meal that would warm them up.
Which leads me to the following discoveries on the web…ladies and gentleman, I give to you…Tofu Cacciatore.
Hunters style tofu?? My mind reels at the incongruity. I'm sure that after a day of hunting in the forests of Umbria or Lombardy, many an Italian hunter, chilled from the damp November air, longed for a plate full of…bean curd.

Occupational respiratory health surveillance at Minara Resources, Murrin Murrin mine site
This longitudinal study was conducted on a cohort of mine and refinery workers at a remote mine site in Western Australia. Spirometry of workers was evaluated over a number of years as well across a swing (time period on site). The research was funded by ECU and Minara Resources as part of an ECU Collaborative research grant. The main findings of the research demonstrated that workers at the mine do not suffer from measureable work induced lung function decrements. However, smoking was found to be a significant factor in lung decrements.

Sister found dead in Bulli
A man is in a serious condition with a stab wound after he walked into a Sydney police station and alerted them to the death of his sister, whose body was found in a home south of Sydney on Friday.PT0M46S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-308u4 620 349 January 3, 2014

A seriously injured man, who walked into a Sydney police station on Friday, alerted police to the death of his sister whose body was then found in a house on NSW's south coast.
The 46-year-old man spoke to officers at Gladesville police station shortly after 5.30am.
He was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital with a stab wound to the chest, NSW Ambulance said.

Police from Wollongong Local Area Command were alerted and found the body of the woman at the house in Hobart Street, Bulli, about 5.40am.
"Police were alerted to a possible murder about 5.30 this morning," Sergeant David Munro from Wollongong police station, said.
"We just got a call to say this person was at the address and apparently deceased."

Sergeant Munro said he "would imagine" the woman was found with stab wounds but could not confirm this.
He said the pair were brother and sister.
The man is helping police with inquiries and is expected to be charged, Sergeant Munro said.

A crime scene has been established at the Wollongong home and an investigation is now under way.
A second crime scene was established at Gladesville police station in Punt Road, which has been cordoned off.
Forensics services officers inspected a white Ford laser parked outside the police station and covered the car with a blue tent. The driver's seat appeared to have blood stains on it.
The man was in a serious but stable condition, a Royal North Shore Hospital spokeswoman said at 9am.
Wollongong police detective acting inspector Darren Kelly said later: "The male arrived in a vehicle which has since been in the process of being examined."
Inspector Kelly said the man was suffering from one stab wound when he arrived, believed to have been self inflicted.
He said the Bulli address was known to police.
The woman is yet to be formally identified.
Inspector Kelly said he could not confirm whether mental health issues were being considered in the investigation.
"As with any investigation we look at background in relation to people and their history," he said.
"At this stage I can't say whether mental health was an issue but I'm sure it's something we'll consider."
A neighbour confirmed the brother and sister lived together.
"It's just a nice quiet street. It's a bit odd," she said.
Another neighbour, who did not want to be identified, told the Illawarra Mercury they didn't hear anything unusual on Thursday night.
They said the pair were well known in the neighbourhood. They were originally from the area, then moved away for several years before moving into the Hobart Street house about four years ago.
The neighbour said the brother and sister occasionally had their problems but were always polite and friendly to everyone else.
The neighbour said the woman was quirky "but harmless".
"She would come and knock on the door for a chat for no reason," the neighbour said.
"I don't know what it was but she'd walk down the street with you and she'd be talking normally and it was like she'd just go off on a tangent."
The neighbour said the woman and her brother lived in the house together.
"They seemed to get along," she said. "I thought he was looking after her."
The property where the woman's body was found sits next to a horse paddock.
Neighbours said the animals were occasionally allowed to graze in the property's backyard.
The neighbour said she had been in shock since learning of the woman's death.
"I thought they were harmless," she said.
"I know they used to have a few drinks in the backyard all night some nights but they never bothered anybody."
The distance from Bulli to Gladesville is about 76 kilometres.
Strike Force Peel, comprising officers from Wollongong, Lake Illawarra and Ryde local area commands with the assistance of State Crime Command's Homicide Squad, has been established to investigate, police said.
Anyone with information should phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://www1.police.nsw.gov.au/.

Here's what some of our guests have had to say:
Hi Jan,
We've just returned from your house in Asheville......How wonderful!!! The house was great, the firepit was so enjoyable, but without a doubt,,,,,the most wonderful part of the property was the guest house! Our family enjoyed the pool table, and gas logs, but the porch was absolutely fantastic! How great to sit out on the porch and listen to the creek with our family. The time we spent was unforgettable.Our parents are getting a little older, and our family time is limited, and with part of us in S.C, and part of us in Kentucky we seldom have time when all of us are together,,,,, We will treasure this time for many years to come.
This was such a blessing!
Thanks again...
The McDonald's
More Comments...: 'This has been a great family vacation! We hiked almost everyday...the most beautiful and fun for the kids was hiking 'Graveyard Trail'. We visited the N.C. Arboretum, Black Mountain, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, The Grove Park Inn...just to name a few! Had dinner at the Pisgah Inn - it was good, but really enjoyed cooking steaks here on the grill. We had a campfire each night and read ghost stories from a book we left for you to enjoy! We'll be back!' The Wilkens Family
Keith and Jan have called Central Florida 'home' since 1984, where we established a custom sign manufacturing business. Designing and creating signs has been a great way to use our God-given talents and also has lead us down the road to renovating and restoring houses through the years..
We absolutely fell in love with this property and the whole area in the Pisgah National Forest when first laying eyes on it! There are 8 homes on a total of 77 acres that were notched out of the Forest back in 1930's and little by little most of these homes were constructed by Bob Doutin who built our house in 1952.
Home renovations and decorating has been our joy and given us much satisfaction, so it was a natural fit for us to find such a unique opportunity and begin a renovating process again. Our latest project completed was tearing down an old garage and building a wonderful gameroom/guesthouse (Creekside finished in 2007) re-using the beautiful rough-sawn oak boards to make kitchen cabinets and a dining table for the new structure!
We began sharing this amazing property with friends and family many years ago and it only gets to be more fun with each ensuing year (thanks to VRBO and HomeAway)! Word's cannot begin to say how much God has blessed us with this place and what a privilege it is to 'meet' all the new travelers who contact us to stay here in our 'little piece of heaven'!
2 beautiful mountainside acres with oaks, ironwoods, poplars and hemlocks towering over the wild rhododendron and mountain laurel and creek.
Though we have a few neighboring homes, none are in view of our property.
Privacy and serenity are key.

Sara Odeen-Isbister , Senior Reporter
Tuesday, April 3, 2012
Sara Odeen-Isbister enjoys skiing, snowshoeing and cheese as she visits the mountainous district of Cantal in south-central France
Spend a few days in the beautiful Volcanic district of Cantal in France and you'll no doubt be told by more than one local that you've found a "hidden secret."
Can it be true that France, visited by around 11 million people from the UK every year, still has large areas unknown to the average Brit?
Well a quick, and not necessarily representative, survey of friends and colleagues found no-one had visited Cantal and only one had heard of it.
This 'hidden secret' lies to the east of Bordeaux in the region of Auvergne and is named after the Monts de Cantal - a group of extinct eroded volcanic peaks which cover most of the area.
In summer Cantal offers plenty of energetic outdoor activities, from mountain biking and hiking to horse riding and canoeing.
I decided to visit in wintertime when the area is usually covered in a wonderful blanket of thick snow. This season, however, has been warmer than usual and the only white stuff to be found during my visit was on the mountain tops.
It may not have been the winter wonderland I'd hoped for but thanks to modern snow making technology there was still a chance to spend a few hours skiing at Cantal's biggest ski resort – Le Lioran. Although much smaller than France's more famous resorts, Le Lioran, with its 22 lifts and 60km of pistes, is perfect for anyone wanting to combine a day or two on the slopes with other outdoor pursuits. There are a few black and red runs for those with a bit of experience behind them as well as a good selection of greens and blues for beginners.
When the snow's more plentiful Cantal also provides a host of snowshoeing possibilities. This popular activity – called raquette in French - doesn't require too much skill, just a reasonable level of fitness.
On a wonderfully sunny day myself and a couple of others hired a mountain guide and snowshoed along a ridge way leading to the most impressive peak in the Monts de Cantal, the Puy Mary. From the summit you are rewarded with a stunning panorama view of 12 glacial valleys.
As well as downhill skiing and snow shoeing visitors to the district can also enjoy dog sledding, ice-skating, climbing, and many kilometres of cross country skiing.
Outdoor activities are definitely a major draw of Cantal, but there's much more to this vibrant area.
The district is full of gorgeous medieval villages and towns to explore, including the lovely Murat. This bustling town is made up of numerous small cobbled roads winding around stone houses, many dating from the 15th and 16th century. Among the highlights of Murat are a fountain which emits steaming hot water from natural springs, Aux Belles Pages, a tiny bookshop run by Irish born Daniel Kiernan and a tea room and bed and breakfast called La Maison de Justine. It's worth popping into the latter just to admire the owner, Jean Christope Maurin's incredible shrine to the late singer Dalida – a huge star in France and across the world in the 70s and 80s. If you stay for a cup of tea (there are dozens to choose from) you'll no doubt be treated to some of of her greatest hits.
A stay in Cantal would not be complete without sampling its wonderful cheese. Probably the area's most famous types are Cantal and Salers – both strong tasting, hard varieties. Milk from cows fed hay during the winter is used to make Cantal, while milk taken from the same cows grazing meadows in the summer goes to produce Salers. Real enthusiasts should arrange a tour around Murat's cheese making farm, Association des Fromages d'Auvergne – where there's a chance to see how the produce is made – from the milking right through to the maturing process. And of course you'll get the opportunity to try some at the end.
If touring one cheese farm is not enough, then why not follow the Route des Fromages AOC d'Auvergne. Easy to follow with its distinctive brown road signs, not only does it take in some of the most beautiful Cantal countryside and ancient villages, it also lists some 50 cheese makers who welcome visitors to look around their farms, dairies and cellars.
Cantal is certainly an undiscovered treasure, ideal for those who appreciate outdoor activities, beautiful nature, a bit of history and very, very tasty cheese. Now that I've found it I'm almost a little reluctant to share this "hidden secret" - just don't tell too many people about it!
Five great places to stay in Cantal
Alta Terrra
A quirky cafe, bed and breakfast and spa, which features a sauna, steam room and outdoor Nordic spa.
Each bedroom is individual and full of character. The place, which sits at the foot of the Puy Mary, is run by a young couple - Virginie and Stephane Serre - who have lovingly restored the building. Stephane offers guided hiking, snowshoeing and mountain biking tours.
For more information go to www.altaterra-cantal.com or call +33 4 71 20 83 03.
Auberge d'Aijean
A traditional auberge with a homely feel and lovely rooms. Run by Valerie and Bruno Fabre, who can prepare a fantastic traditional home cooked meal. In the summer it is also a popular restaurant.
The auberge has a great view of the mountains.
Go to www.auberge-puy-mary.com or call +33 471 20 31 61.
Instants d'Absolu
A higher end ecolodge and spa which has a beautiful spot by a lake called Lac du Pecher. The interior is elegant, mixing log cabin cosiness with modern chic. The rooms are large, stylish and luxurious.

Go to www.ecolodge-france.com or call +33 4 71 20 83 09.
Demeures des Montagnes
A large auberge with over 20 rooms, a spa, a bustling restaurant visited by many non guest as well. Ideal for those wanting more life at their accommodation. Met one elderly British couple who visit the Demeures des Montagnes every year because they like it so much.
Go to www.auberge-des-montagnes.com or call +33 4 71 43 76 46.
La Roussiere
This bed and breakfast at the foot of the Plomb du Cantal, used to be a mountain farm - and even featured in 1999 French film Harry, We're here to help - but has since been beautifully restored. It has a wonderful, cosy living room with open fire and a big farmhouse kitchen where you can enjoy an evening meal. Christian, who owns the house with his wife Brigitte, is a qualified mountain guide.
Go to www.auberge-des-montagnes.com or call +33 4 71 47 57 01.
All the accommodation is open throughout the year.
Ryan Air fly from Stansted to Rodez. Go to www.ryanair.com. Rodez is a 1.5 hour to 2 hour drive from Cantal. There are also trains connections from Rodez to Murat.

According to its website, the mission of the RSCVA is to "attract visitors to Reno and Lake Tahoe lodging properties through marketing, convention sales and facility operations, featuring local amenities, attractions and events." That seems like a good project, but the problem is the agency has been historically corrupt, inefficient, mismanaged and a cash cow for incompetence.
I remember when I filed a complaint with the Nevada Commission on Ethics against RSCVA CEO Phil Keene in 2000. Keene was caught using RSCVA credit cards for his personal use. In 2001, the commission found him in violation of state ethics laws and he subsequently moved out of town. As I started reading between the lines of Keene's testimony and listening to his attorney's defense, I realized he might have been set up. It appeared that Keene was told he could use the cards as his own if he paid them off within 30 days and no interest was accrued.
The RSCVA board also was found guilty by a jury for violating open meeting laws in 1984. The district attorney's office claimed the same board used bad business judgment in its bidding process the following year for not issuing contracts to the lowest bidder. So much for corruption.
Having 12 members on the board — five representing three political jurisdictions and seven appointed representatives from gaming, hotels and motels — is a guaranteed prescription for failure. The board cannot be efficient because its members are too political, territorial or self-serving to reach any logical consensus.
The inefficiency of the RSCVA is in part attributable to its funding source and the composition of its board. Since the room tax is the agency's primary funding source, each appointed member wants to spend the tax on enhancing their own amenities and marketing their individual property, conventions and special events instead of on what is best for the community.
It doesn't help that the RSCVA can't hire any administrators who know what they are doing or who have the political courage to make decisions even at risk of losing their job.
But it's almost impossible for any CEO to get anything positive accomplished while navigating through 12 board members who all have their own personal agendas without the fear of being fired by the same board that hired him or her in the first place. Therefore, the CEO should be approved, hired or fired by representatives of our three political jurisdictions, not members of the special interest groups who hold their job security as hostage for their individual agenda.
The RGJ editorial suggested that if the RSCVA can't do a better job, maybe it shouldn't do the job at all. That's been the opinion of most of us for the last 20 years. I'm glad they finally caught up with the pulse of the general public.
But how do we replace the RSCVA? Let's look at the mission statement of the Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce. Its goal is to help shape and support local business, create an environment that sustains growth, promote the regional business community and develop local community leaders. Expand those ideals to include marketing, promotion and attracting visitors to our area and I think we've found the answer.
Actually, it was the chamber of commerce that promoted events for the original Washoe County Fair and Recreation Board in the late 1950s. The RSCVA replaced it and began promoting conventions and tourism.
By state statute, the RSCVA was mandated to include representatives from gaming on the board. In doing so the agency did expand special events but forgot the core values of commitment and integrity held by the chamber of commerce.
Statutorily, changes in the RSCVA have to be implemented. The RSCVA only needs seven board members: five from political jurisdictions and two from the chamber of commerce. Currently, board members representing gaming compete with themselves and the RSCVA for conventions. By eliminating them from the board, the agency has a better chance to be successful.
The agency's budget should be approved and audited annually by the county. Its CEO should not be beholden to board members because he or she was hired by them. The RSCVA's mission statement should include "attracting business" as well as tourists to our community. Room tax funding should not preclude marketing for new business.
If the RSCVA can't be revamped to do a better job, we should get rid of it and replace it with the business and marketing skills of the Reno Sparks Chamber of Commerce.

Comments about Complete Zombie Adult Costume:
Disappointed with this purchase. Does NOT look anything like the picture. Cheaply made and ackward neckline. Tears in clothes are just straight cuts!!
[8 of 8 customers found this review helpful]
Comments about Complete Zombie Adult Costume:
This costume is a complete rip-off. The picture is absolutely nothing like the actual product. The hair on the wig is perfectly combed/parted, slightly wavy, and doesn't look scary at all. The bones/flesh parts are a bit stiff and look very unrealistic. The color of the flesh and blood are very dull, making it obvious and ineffective. The tears/rips in the clothing are perfectly cut and are not ragged in the slightest bit. The gloves are very loose, which makes strapping them down in some way required. All in all, this is a complete waste of money.

Comments about Complete Zombie Adult Costume:
I purchased this costum for last years halloween. It is nothing like the photo. The top is blue the bottom is a greyish/brown. The photo shows jeans and a seriously ripped up outfit. This one had perfectly cut square edges and was very very baggy. The gory parts are very stiff foam that look horribly unrealistic in how they hang from the baggy outfit.
The mask is just awful to wear. I had to design a way to hold it on using thread and cut a slit in the mouth. It is very difficult to breathe in even with the slit, and by the end of the night my whole face was a wet sweaty mess. The gloves are not very well made. I had to glue some areas back on and they were way to big. They need some sort of strap or velcro to tighten it around your wrists.
Here is what I did to salvaged the situation. I purchased a lightweight black turtleneck shirt, removed the gory parts of the arms and chest and stiched them to the turtleneck. I then shredded the shirt more and sewed it to the turtleneck so it would fall across the gory wounds effectively. I spashed and sprayed fake blood all over the outfit also.
In the end I had a pretty horrifying outfit that sent trick or treaters literally running screaming from my house but it took several days of sewing, a lot of work, and more $$ to get the outfit to look that way.
What really annoys me is I informed Spirit about my issues with the photo misrepresentation and they have not corrected the photo. Misleading your customers is a big no-no in my book.
