When the hell are we going to get a comprehensive Krider vs Baruth showdown on multiple racing disciplines.
I want Karts, Drag, Autocross, and Endurance…. make this happen please.
Actually, a Blog vs Blog vs Blog vs etc racing event would be pretty fun. We should contact a manufacturer who would be interested, sell tickets via our sites and donate it all to charity…
The winner walks away with bragging rights and maybe a banner for their site which stays up for a year.
Excellent article, and I heartily agree on the choice of Sentra SE-R. They're inexpensive, lightweight, good HP, and come stock with a limited slip diff. Just watch out for the 5th gear problems the transmissions have.
Makes a great stage rally car, too (ask me how I know!).

Last night on the season opener of Dancing With the Stars 2010, Pamela Anderson closed the show and heated up the dance floor with per partner Damian Whitewood. Their Cha Cha Cha routine was fun and entertaining, just like the Baywatch star.
Even though she doesn't dress age appropriate - she's 42 - I still love Pamela Anderson! She may come across completely ditsy to some, but I think she's much smarter than she's letting on. How many people can say they created a 20-year career for themselves after posing for Playboy?
Will Pamela Anderson make it all the way on Dancing With the Stars? It doesn't look promising yet. She and Damian received 21/30 for their routine. Hopefully the votes from home will keep them in the competition!

It may not have technically been the coldest night this winter, but it ended up being one of the snowiest!
On Saturday February 22, about 200 Nanaimo and Parksville area residents gathered at John Barsby Community School in Nanaimo to don "Coldest Night of the Year" toques, turn in their pledges, and walk together down the wet and slippery streets to raise much needed funds for the Island Crisis Care Society.
The snow never let up and neither did the walker's resolve to finish the 2, 5, or 10 Kilometer loops around Harewood, South Nanaimo, and the Old City Quarter. 63 communities across Canada participated in the event this year and collectively raised a national total of $2,327,863.00.
Mary's Place is one of three second stage housing options offered to women as part of a two year pilot project funded by BC Housing and ICCS. Watch this excellent Nanaimo Shaw TV report on how Mary's Place has turned out to be a "good news" story for Jennifer:
In 2012 ICCS identified gaps in the housing continuum following the successful opening of new supportive housing in Nanaimo. While many chronically homeless individuals were delighted to move into permanent supportive housing, others continued to return to Samaritan House for a variety of reasons. Significant among these was the need for greater support during each day and a quality that many individuals described about Samaritan House that they had really missed. They described this quality with words like "community," "acceptance," and "familiar." In 2013 ICCS collaborated with BC Housing to plan and launch a pilot project to gather data over a two year period on which combination of services provided the best support for women who fell through the identified gaps.

Dear Stress Mess,
You're not alone, and I'm sorry you're feeling stressed.
Lots of hardworking people get overwhelmed because there isn't enough time to
do everything every day. But in the big scheme of things, there is enough time
to do what matters. It's just that you may have to study during the week, and
flirt, chat and shop on weekends.
This doesn't mean you can't enjoy some daily rest and
relaxation. You can! Give yourself daily kickback time—whether that means
taking a bath, e-mailing friends, reading a novel, doing yoga, listening to
music, yakking on the phone or walking your dog.

Rob Gronkowski is going to have a big game against the Colts. Tom Brady will be throwing a lot and Gronkowski is going to get at least seven catches for at least 90 yards and a touchdown. Jimmy Graham is turning into one of the best tight ends in the league. He didn't not do well in the middle of the season but he has picked it up and he is playing great just like last year.

Hundreds of community members show support in SHARPP-hosted anti-violence walk and rally
Approximately 600 university community members participated in a campus-wide march against violence on Thursday afternoon as part of the Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention Program's third annual anti-violence walk and rally to celebrate Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
"We at the University of New Hampshire will not stand for violence in our community," said Maggie Wells, SHARPP's outreach coordinator, to the group gathered in the Strafford Room of the MUB.
Wells has been at UNH for five years and has been a part of the walk since its inception.
"We host (the walk) on the second Thursday of April, rain or shine, every year," Wells said. "I think that it is not too much to ask that for an hour and twenty minutes we gather as a community to have our collective voices be heard and that we send the message that UNH is a community that steps out to speak out against violence."
Last year, according to Wells, about 300 students and faculty took part in the walk, tripling from three years ago.
This year, it doubled to 600 walkers, including SHARPP advocates, faculty and staff, students, fraternities and sororities among other clubs and organizations on campus.
SHARPP advocates Zachary Ahmad and Kenna Smith agreed that sexual violence needs to be talked about in a college community.
"It's time to stop being silent about these issues," Ahmad said.
"Especially on a college campus," Smith agreed. "It's just good to see (the march) grow... It's really cool seeing people you know coming to support what you do."
Men's soccer team member Robert Palumbo marched with his teammates to support the cause.
"It's a respect issue," Palumbo said. "I don't think any gender is more important."
Originally, the walk was to meet outside and start from there; however, light showers brought the group inside the MUB to gather and prepare to walk.
"We kind of joke every year that it's going to rain," SHARPP advocate Allie Pendergast said.
Inside the Strafford Room, campus services and groups such as the counseling center, SHARPP and the women's studies program set up tables where marchers could get information.
"There's always a call for needing more awareness," said Faina Bukher, assistant director of the women's studies program at UNH. "I wish we didn't have to, I wish it was obvious."
The walk took off from the MUB around 1:15 p.m. and circled campus, travelling down Main Street, College Road, Academic Way, and Quad Way, and back into the MUB.
Signs along the walk gave passersby information about SHARPP and sexual violence.
One such fact was that last year, SHARPP served 118 students on campus.
Some in the march chanted such phrases as "consent is hot, assault is not" and "put the yes back in sex."
Wells was proud of all of the work SHARPP staff and students put into planning the walk as well as reaching more people to take part.
"It is our hope that this Anti-Violence Walk and Rally will become a staple event here at the University of New Hampshire," Wells said. "Maybe next year we'll have 1200 (marchers)... It goes to show we have a community that cares about ending violence."

There was a buzz circulating through the Stephens County Fair & Expo Livestock Pavilion over the weekend, when youth from across the state showed off their swine at the inaugural Marlow Winter Classic Pig Show.
Going into Saturday's finale session, turnout for the Oklahoma Club Pig Association event, which was sponsored by the Marlow Ag Boosters Club, was looking to be a little more than anticipated.
Marlow Ag Booster Greg McClure said OCPA shows tend to bring students from around the stateto compete. Plus, the show in Duncan was the next-to-last OCPA event for the season.
"It's outstanding, it helps gets the pigs ready for future shows and the OCPA brings in kids chasing the (seasonal competitive) points," McClure said.
"As we thought about trying to do a fundraiser, we thought about being able to do it to raise money and give back to the kids."
Approximately 625 pigs were shown during the two-day event, which had McClure feeling blessed by the turnout and hoping to grow the show in the future.
"Our goal is to make the event better over time by adding more money and prizes over the next couple of years," McClure said.
Senior Sydney McNabb and junior Casey Black from Chickasha High School said they enjoyed the opportunity to work on their showmanship, as the Winter Classic falls towards the end of the showing season.
They also appreciated the chance to catch up with friends they've met at other OCPA shows.
"Everyone gets to show off their pigs and hang out with the friends they meet at other OCPA shows," Black said. Central High sophomore Deekota Williams showed Hampshires Friday night and then came back on Saturday morning for another Hampshire performance and the Duroc show.
He thought the Marlow Winter Classic was off to a good start for its first year and enjoyed a chance to start prepping his crew for the upcoming district, local, county and state shows.
"It's good to get them out and see what they can do," Williams said. "Being able to show them again and take them out for the competition and to see how they perform helps."
Specifically, Williams noted he was looking at his animals' weights and seeing how they look in the competition, to see if there was work to do in some areas before the season-ending shows arrive.
Derek Hallum traveled to the Fair & Expo Center with his daughter, Beth, from Lone Grove, enjoying a chance to do something together rather than just lying around the house.
"We enjoy spending time together, and if we were just at home, we would probably not be spending time together," Derek said.
Derek believed the event was good, adding that the Fair & Expo Center was one of the nicest facilities in which they get to compete.

A quarter of the world's most educated people live in the 100 largest cities
College graduates are increasingly sorting themselves into high-cost, high-amenity cities such as Washington, New York, Boston and San Francisco, a phenomenon that threatens to segregate us across the country by education.
College graduates are sorting themselves into elite cities
Census data suggests that in 1980 a college graduate could expect to earn about 38 percent more than a worker with only a high-school diploma. Since then, the difference in their wages has only widened as our economy has shifted to bestow greater and greater rewards on the well-educated. By 1990, that number was about 57 percent. By 2011: 73 percent.

Given how far ahead of the trends they are already, that means hair and makeup even an avant-garde enfant terrible would approve of. From Cate Blanchett and Diane Kruger to Katie Holmes and Milla Jovovich, see the tricks leading ladies use to make sure their hair and makeup get (and stay) pretty and polished. Source: Getty Alexa Chung What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Quirky fashionista Alexa Chung traded in her usual Bohemian grunge waves for a sleeked-out version of her bob at the Chanel show. It's the perfect way to do dressed up without looking too fussy. Source: WireImage 1 / 15 Amanda Peet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When you want to wear a casual style to a formal event, add volume at the crown for a fashionable finish. Amanda Peet made a ponytail work at the Valentino show by keeping it soft and texturized. Source: WireImage 2 / 15 Carmen Dell'Orefice What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Supermodel Carmen Dell'Orefice shows us how to enhance eyes without looking overdone, with sheer washes of contrasting neutral shades like smoky gray and tan. Source: WireImage 3 / 15 Cate Blanchett What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're fair-skinned and have pink undertones like Cate Blanchett, you can avoid looking ruddy when you wear heavier lipstick and blush. Simply choose a coral- or orange-based shade instead of a red or pink-based one. Source: WireImage 4 / 15 Claudia Schiffer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Claudia Schiffer (with Mario Testino in tow) premiered her own new collection at this Paris Couture Week, and chose to go with a low-key, California girl look that was somewhere between Vera Wang and Erin Fetherston. If you're hosting an event, you can always afford to go a little more casual with hair and makeup that your guests might. Source: WireImage 6 / 15 Daisy Lowe What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're wearing a glamorous evening gown in an attention-grabbing fabric like silk, formal hair can take you over the top. For something different, follow model Daisy Lowe's lead. So if you're wearing an extremely fancy dress, keep your hair a little more casual, and go for a softer, smudgier eye makeup look. Source: WireImage 6 / 15 Daphne Guinness What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Legendary clothes-lover Daphne Guinness is always willing to show off what a fangirl she is by wearing wild runway-inspired makeup and hair. This time around, she debuted ear eye shadow. Think it will be the next big trend? Source: WireImage 7 / 15 Diane Kruger What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chanel is a classic, so it's no surprise that Diane Kruger chose to keep her hair and makeup for the show simple and elegant. When in doubt about what kind of look to wear for an event, consider the host's style and expectations as well as your own tastes. Source: WireImage 8 / 15 Julia Restoin-Roitfeld What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fashion royalty Julia Restoin-Roitfeld (daughter of former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld) makes the sexy, smudgy look work at the Chanel show. By keeping her roots and crown smooth and the inner corners of her eyes clean and bright, her style is still recognizably polished even if it is a little messy. Source: WireImage 9 / 15 Katie Holmes What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Katie Holmes's style is typically very plain, so instead of trying something outrageous or edgy, she just enhanced her natural look with a little extra gray shadow at her eyes' outer corners. Shiny, richly hued hair brings it all together. Source: WireImage 11 / 15 Kiko Mizuhara What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Model Kiko Mizuhara is making her move to the big screen in the upcoming adaptation of Haruki Murakami's book Norwegian Wood, but she's also making waves on the red carpet with a sleek bob and fire engine red lips. Combining a blunt, edgy hairstyle and bright lip color is an easy way to make any ensemble seem more dressed up. Source: WireImage 11 / 15 Milla Jovovich What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Milla Jovovich has a great sense of fun when it comes to fashion, and she's not afraid to let it come out. Instead of going with the standard updo and sheer lip color, she flaunted her flirty, highlighted bob and rose pink lipstick that let her personality shine though. Source: WireImage 12 / 15 Olivia Palermo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Olivia Palermo always has the perfect look for a young socialite: pretty but not overly girlish, and made up without looking harsh or aging. Using sheer and semisheer makeup formulations and giving your hair some subtle casual elements (like Olivia's pulled-out tendrils here), are an excellent way to keep things age appropriate no matter the event. Source: WireImage 13 / 15 Princess Siriwanwaree Nareerat of Thailand What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Designers may be fashion's kings and queens, but what if you're actual royalty? Princess Siriwanwaree Nareerat of Thailand looks pretty and polished outside the Valentino show, but not any more done up than you'd be for a classy luncheon. When it comes to daytime hair and makeup, you have a little more leeway with the formality of your style. Source: WireImage 14 / 15 Anne Hathaway What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Anne Hathaway knows the secret to dressing up your makeup from day to night in an instant: adding a gorgeous statement lip color. Even if your hair and eye makeup are still slightly more daytime casual, people's eyes are drawn to your bright lip color.

Although this is pretty far from any PDX Scenesters as you can probably get -- it represents an Oregon cultural watershed that's touched generations.
I don't think we'd have the traditions of our music venues, hipsters and even our beloved street life, thanks to the 1960s counterculture. I'm going back in time.
To remember a piece of history in Oregon that is a touchstone for the Beat counterculture and is a personal cornerstone for me. This Thursday and Friday in Eugene, Further is rolling in to town - the band and the bus.
The band features Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Phil Lesh and people are saying it's the best sounding incarnation since Jerry Garcia's death in 1995. Now hippy jam bands in Oregon - and especially Eugene - are generally nothing to write about. (If you enjoy that scene fine, I just mean there's no need for me to write about it around these parts)
As is well-known in American music, folk and lit-lore, Ken Kesey and his merry Pranksters hosted the Dead for their acid tests in the mid-60s, then took their bus "Further" on the road to bring the rest of the country some psychedelic adventure.
And ever since Ken and his brother from their Pleasant Hill dairy farm got their far out friends from San Francisco to come play a benefit in Duck country several decades ago, there's been a special connection, the story goes.
The Dead also came to Eugene and played the Oregon Country Fair in the early 70s, while building their following across the nation. A tight knit community of pranksters and family grew up there and is generally the underlying, dominant force in that town.
The rest is rock and roll history.
That's partially what led me to land in Eugene many years ago after seeing a lot of road around the country with the Dead. (There I said it!) Still very much alive was the touring culture of Deadheads, seemingly many of them camped out in Eugene.
Back when people took journalism classes, I was under assignment and attempted to contact Mr. Kesey for a project. Unfortunately, the woman at his home informed me that he was "in seclusion" working on his latest project. This was just after Sailor's Song came out, I think it may have been a children's book he was working on, or perhaps his Prankster Wizard of Oz adaptation "Twister." Not long after arriving there though, I left that scene with a growing dissatisfaction. I don't know how else to sum up that sentiment, wish I could write a book about that time. I did manage to catch a couple shows at Autzen, courtesy of Cracker, the opening band on the 1994 summer tour. (Thank you, Mr. Jackson Haring)
At that time, the Grateful Dead tour was very obviously and quickly becoming a scene out of control and not long for existence. Too many ticketless people and hangers on following a rock and roll legacy not for the music but for the party. That soon led to bad things for the band and its fans, followed not long after by Jerry's death in August of 1995.
I left the Emerald of the Valley soon after that, and upon doing so, left behind those young days of carefree living and chasing my own version of a hippy Utopia.
I took along, however, and have since rediscovered, the musical and literary legacies in the culture of Jerry and Kesey, respectively, the true beats whose works stand the test of time. I am finding great joy in re-listening to much of this music, among the greatest of folklore in American tradition.
The rest of the band in the late 90s and since went on to form different incarnations and toured, but I am told on good authority, that the addition of Dark Star Orchestra guitarist John Kadlicek is the added pop the band needed for their sound to really nail the sound of the beloved, Jerry Garcia-led Grateful Dead.
Friday marks Ken Kesey's 75th birthday, he died in 2001.

Guess What, the Democrats Don't Need 60 Votes
Keep your eyes on the women of Maine.
One smart Capitol Hill observer E-mails me: "In my view, the Democrats will have a working majority even if they fall a few votes short of 60. One of the close races is Maine, but Republican Senator Susan Collins appears to be pulling away. If she wins, Democrats will often be able to get her vote and that of her Republican colleague Olympia Snowe on most domestic issues."

Best Western Majestic- La Terrazza: Go for the view!
My first meal in Mexico City was at La Terrazza at the Best Western Majestic Hotel and the only reason I knew about this place was because of a guy I was talking with on the airplane from the States. He told me that I should come here for the impressive view over the Zocalo and I certainly wasn't disappointed. For 85 pesos, their "executive special" was a good deal too. I enjoyed some corn soup, a salad, a chicken dish for the main course and a small dessert and coffee. The food was decent if not fantastic, but it's worth visiting just to get this perspective above the Cathedral, the National Palace and the square itself.
Best Western Majestic: Great View over the Zocalo
In fact this restaurant is on the top floor of the Best Western Majestic hotel .Don't worry, just enter, walk to the elevator, and tell the man at the elevbator that you want to go to the restaurant,
Favorite Dish: I did not eat here, I just had a cup of coffee and a great time enjoying the view over the Zocalo.
rooftop restaurant and bar,...
rooftop restaurant and bar, Hotel Majestic Best Western.....from this seventh floor restaurant you have a magnificent view of Zocalo! We were able to sit there after dark and see the lights play on the catedral, the Palacio Nacional, and the Federal Buildings - as well as the giant flag of Mexico that is at the heart of the Plaza de la Constitucion.

Skiathos Holiday(35)

Recent Reviews
The villa really is as good as the photos suggest. We had a family holiday over a three week period with various members of the family coming for one week, two weeks, or three weeks. It worked extremely well ! The villa's location is fantastic - a short drive from Skiathos town and the airport but up in the hills with a fantastic view and plenty of privacy. Many family members walked down to the tavernas that were on the road at the bottom of the hill but you need to be "keen" to walk BACK on a hot day ! There are four or five tavernas within walking distance and a couple of small "supermarkets". The villa itself is a lovely layout being built into the hillside to some extent. It is on three levels with each room having a terrace outside with seating. There are five different areas that can be used and in our case the children tended to use the upper balcony and some of the adults (me !) preferred the quieter lower level with a little more peace and quiet and access to cool beer in the lower kitchen area. The owners agent of the island (Jacques) is wonderful. A friendly, helpful man that knows the island and is always happy to help - he was the icing on the cake. The housekeeper was also lovely. She cleaned spotlessly twice a week and helped us order a full family meal from a local taverna which we then laid out on the balcony table to enjoy as a full family - a memorable evening. Perfect villa, perfect location, great weather, friendly locals, wonderful beaches, boats to hire, restaurants up in the hills, lovely owner, helpful local contacts. A wonderful holiday that was enjoyed by all.
Bellissima villa con un panorama mozzafiato, provvista di tutto il necessario per rendere la vacanza confortevole. Il proprietario Kostas parla bene l'italiano ed è una persona estremamente gentile e disponibile che potrà fornirvi preziosi consigli su questa fantastica isola (una delle più belle delle 20 isole greche dove sono già stato) oltre che farvi assaggiare la vera cucina greca nel suo ristorante Agnadio. Riassumo le mie considerazioni con un "tutto perfetto"; se proprio devo trovare una pecca sta nella strada che porta alla villa che essendo in collina è alquanto ripida e con un ultimo tratto sterrato, ma il tutto è ripagato dal panorama ineguagliabile !!! Ci ritorneremo sicuramente.
When my husband-to-be and I were looking for wedding venues we were both looking for a picturesque spot with gorgeous settings to take our first steps into married life together. When we found Villa Maestralli we knew we had found that place. Its beautiful and secluded location with a breath-taking backdrop made it the perfect place to say I do. We contacted the owner Elisabeth and from that moment she helped us create the most perfect day. She went above and beyond helping us to make all of the necessary arrangements. The villa has a large terrace with the stunning peninsula for its backdrop and easily accommodated our 30 guests. We held our wedding reception at Taverna Stathis, a five minute walk from the villa, which was an idyllic traditional Greek Taverna set in beautiful gardens. We had a truly amazing wedding day and cannot recommend Villa Maestralli highly enough.
