2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible [w/video]
About 20 seconds, and 30 miles per hour. These are, if not the most heart-thumping statistics you need to know before continuing to read the rest of this review, the most pertinent to get out of the way. What are they? The amount of time it takes, according to our stopwatches, for the power-operated fabric roof to hide itself entirely inside the bodywork of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible, and the maximum speed at which that action can be performed. Because, of course, when piloting a brand-new Chevy Corvette Convertible for the very first time, there is absolutely no... Read More

As capable as the new Corvette Stingray is, and as many as Chevy has sold so far, we all knew it was only the beginning. The Stingray Convertible goes on sale later this month, but the version enthusiasts have really been looking forward to is the Z06. And soon the wait will be over. Although Chevrolet hasn't released much in the way of details to go ...
Car culture on each coast of the US has historically been markedly different, and Chevrolet aims to show some of the differences with a pair of Corvette concepts at SEMA. Representing the East Coast is the Corvette Stingray Convertible Atlantic concept, while the Corvette Stingray Coupe Pacific concept has the West Coast flair. The Corvette Pacific ...
If you guessed that the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray would be in heavy rotation at this year's SEMA show, you'd be right. The new Corvette is one of the hottest cars on the planet these days, and the halls here in Las Vegas are chocked full of modified examples that range from bananas to unholy. And of course Chevy has a few cars of its own on the show ...
Michael Bay may not have been around to pull the sheets (though he did beam a recorded message of thanks to the crowd), but three of the automotive stars of his upcoming Transformers 4 blockbuster were shown in Las Vegas tonight, just ahead of SEMA's opening day tomorrow.

This year's Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was a Corvette-heavy affair, to be certain. Corvette had a giant pavilion to show of its spanking new C7 Stingray along side examples of each of the other six past cars, and the 2014 'Vettes were also running demonstration laps on the track between events. Both seemed popular with the crowds in Monterey. But ...
In one of the most interesting roundtable discussions we've seen in quite some time, the boys from Motor Trend, along with pro racing driver Randy Pobst, sat down with SRT head honcho Ralph Gilles to discuss the 2014 Viper.

We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person. In the metal (err... ...
Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle. From this angle, it's hard to ...
Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking ...
During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both ...
It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out. In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built ...
While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly ...
General Motors CEO Dan Akerson has said his final goodbye to his own personal 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. The car just sold here at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, with a final gavel price of $270,000 – since 100 percent of the sale price is slated to benefit Habitat for Humanity Detroit, there are no extra charges from the auction ...
Members of the motoring press who were invited to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray reveal all left with a pretty sweet press kit. The individually numbered black box within a black box contained not only a chunky little flash drive, but a paperweight adorned with an actual Stingray badge. Before we even left the press reveal, at least one had ...

Plus, Dan and Zach recorded an interview ...
We've inundated you with Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray information over the last couple of days (you're welcome), but until now the images of the car have been largely of the exterior, and completely static. We figured that the slightly less dense crowd of journalists around the Chevy stand on day two of our media coverage would make for a good ...

(This story has been corrected to say that the Fort Worth city staff is recommending two fire stations in the 2014 bond program - one in the far south and another in the far west.)FORT WORTH -- Fire response times will increase if the city doesnt fill the 36 vacant firefighter jobs proposed to be eliminated in Fort Worths $570 million general fund budget, Fire Chief Rudy Jackson told City Council members Thursday.The department would deactivate an average four fire companies a vehicle and its crew on various days through the year to compensate for the lost positions, all assigned to the departments vacation relief pool, Jackson told council members during a daylong budget workshop..The deactivations would occur at only 12 of the citys 42 stations the ones that have double companies, Jackson said. On days when deactivations occur, average response times from those stations would increase one minute and 48 seconds, Jackson estimated.Well attempt to minimize this as much as possible by moving people around, Jackson told council members.Jim Tate, president of the Fort Worth Professional Firefighters association, said the city risks a lower insurance industry rating that could lead to higher homeowner insurance rates.Response times will be a lot worse in some areas of town, mainly outside Loop 820, than the average increase, Tate predicted. The citys fire response goal is five minutes.Those averages are going to tell the story, Tate said in an interview (VIDEO).More importantly, he said, in a year when tax revenues are up, why are they cutting pubiic safety? Why are they also increasing homeowners to higher insurance premiums?Fort Worth had its last 10-year rating review in 2007 by the Insurance Service Office, a company that rates municipalities on water distribution systems, distribution of fire companies, the equipment, training and communications dispatch. Insurance companies use the ISOs ratings to set their rates.In 2007, Fort Worths rating crept up into the better 2 level from 3.Since 2007, Fort Worth has added fire stations and staffing, and, also, we have a lot of road improvements, which I think will help, said Councilman Sal Espino, who represents north Fort Worth. The city also has two more fire stations in the far south and the far west in the staff recommendations for Fort Worths May 2014 bond program, Espino noted.On response times, he said, youve got to break those up and compare projections for inside the loop to outside of it.Public safety is keyPublic safety has continued to be a hot topic in the city, with the councils major changes to the employee pension last year, this springs completion of a police contract and ongoing fire contract talks overhanging the 2014 budget deliberations. Fifty-seven percent of the proposed $570 million general fund budget is police and fire. Seventy-three percent is tied up in personnel costs across all general fund departments.The Fort Worth Police Officers Association has repeatedly issued missives warning of potential deep cuts.The proposed $204.2 million police budget is an increase of 2.2 percent. The department would lose 46 unfilled officer positions and would have 1,797 authorized. Police cost increases include $1.36 million from the new contract, $236,241 in cost increases connected to the citys Mansfield jail contract, and $256,376 in technology.The Fire Departments share is $117.8 million, down 2.9 percent, mostly because of the elimination of the vacancies. The department would have 919 authorized positions.The proposed budget for the separate Crime Control and Prevention District, funded by a fraction of Fort Worths sales tax, is $59.4 million, up 8.5 percent on projected tax revenue growth.Police Chief Jeff Halstead reiterated Thursday that hes OK with the elimination of the police vacancies, because the department cannot now keep up with attrition.The department had 67 vacancies Thursday, normal annual attrition of 60 officers and best-case graduation of 60 recruits per year, Halstead said. The department has had well over an average 46 vacancies for four years, he said.In the best-case world from your chief of police, I dont think I can get us to zero vacancies next year, Halstead said.When the city opens its public safety training center, under construction in south Fort Worth, that will dramatically improve the citys training capacity, Halstead said.We are in a good position here, Halstead said.A solid planSgt. Steve Hall, president of the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, said the City Council and Halstead could make the commitment today to fill the positions if they wanted to. Like the fire association, he also warned of long response times in certain parts of the city.We are going to have contact with our council persons and try to convince them that a mandate to hire and fill these vacancies is a priority, he said. The association will also lobby residents.Its their money, and its their voice that these men and women [of the police] represents, he said in an interview (VIDEO).Councilman Danny Scarth said the police have a solid plan.Its a plan, and we started a big piece of that plan in terms of a facility, he said.Code compliance director Brandon Bennett told council members that the proposed cut of five animal control officers would eliminate about a third of that units day-to-day capacity.Separately, the number of code compliance officers would go to 32 from 37, he said.Scarth asked City Manager Tom Higgins to look for ways to add more money in the budget to fill some of those positions.To me, it could be a false savings to not fill some of these positions, he said.

"Welcome back to America!", I keep thinking as we re-adjust to having been away for two years in Japan. I learned a lot living overseas, about myself, my country, and particularly about how important it is for a culture to value human life above all things.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest trends I notice upon my return is how human life has become increasingly cheap in the U.S. To illustrate this trend I'd like to talk about the following items: the war in Afghanistan, stem cells, gay marriage, Obama, and Alzheimer's Read More»

In a recent edition of The Citizen, Mr. Timothy Parker took objection to my response to his earlier letter to the editor. I find it necessary to again respond.
In his most recent letter, Mr. Parker accuses me of inventing an issue and of misrepresenting history.

I simply responded to his earlier letter, point by point. Read More»

"What's it to you anyhow? There's plenty of room in that bed. Shall we take a look at the mess you've got on the card table in the loft?"

My first glass of that famous Melear's iced tea was 44 years ago, when I moved to Fayetteville. I have lost count on how many I've had since then.

The Fayette County Kiwanis is nearly 60 years old and most of their meetings were held on that very site. Read More»

In the scope of things, I did not know Lindsay for a very long time. I met him through John and we discovered that we shared a number of common interests: indie rock, cult movies, Pee Wee Herman.

If only I were rich, I'd not have a care in the world. I could buy anything, go anywhere, and afford the most expensive things. Health issues wouldn't be a problem because I would have the most expensive doctors always on call.

OPI Nordic Collection for Fall 2014 – Swatches & Review (Part 2)
I'm calling the second half of the OPI Nordic collection for Fall 2014, 50 Shades of Tan. Okay, I'm exaggerating but there are a lot of neutrals here. So much so, that they seem better suited for the Wild, Wild, West than the Nordic countries. Granted, I've never visited Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway or Sweden so they could be totally on the nose for that part of the world. Let's take a look!

OPI Fall 2014 – Nordic Collection Swatches & Review (Part 1)
As we move into Fall, prepare to be whisked away to an icy wonderland thanks to the OPI Fall 2014 Nordic collection.
When creating colors for a new seasonal collection, I always draw inspiration from the food,
music, art, landscape and street style of a particular destination," remarks Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP. "While conceptualizing the shades of the Nordic Collection, I ate cinnamon buns and drank glogg, snapped photographs of brightly painted houses, and gazed in wonder at the region's topography – from the northern lights and midnight sun to lava flats and deep fjords. All of these diverse elements came together to inspire an equally varied array of colors that capture the aesthetic of the Nordic region.

Are You Done With Nail Art? #WeAreDone
Have you heard The Madden Brothers tune, "We Are Done?" The song with the 60s vibe has spawned an internet sensation of people posting signs of what they are done with, using #WeAreDone. Some of them have been really inspirational, especially from young girls saying things like, "Done with being underestimated" or "Done with being afraid."
On that note, I was watching #Undone with Amanda de Cadenet, you may remember her from Brokedown Palace or her previous Lifetime series The Conversation, and she had Joel Madden and Busy Philipps as guests. When the topic of #WeAreDone came up, she asked Busy what she is done with and you can see her response above.
Now I follow Busy on Twitter and Instagram, I have adored her since Freaks & Geeks and am an avid Cougar Town fan, so I know she has forayed into the world of nail art. In fact, she uses the same nail artist as Kelly Osbourne. So her answer surprised me but her reasoning made sense. She simply stated that it takes too much time. And as a mom of two kids, one an infant, I'm sure her time is precious.
But it begs the question, are you done with nail art? I know it's been riding high the past few years but how long can it continue? I've also noticed other celeb nail art fanatics toning it down of late. Is the massive nail art trend dying out? I know there will always be fans but is it declining, in general?
Gel Nails – Gel Polish? Gel Hybrid? Gel Effect? Let's Break It Down!
With every brand and their mother putting out a product with "GEL" in the name, nail world is becoming a very confusing place. The introduction of CND Shellac started a gel nails craze that has prompted more traditional polish brands to jack its style, producing products that promise gel-like results.
But here's the problem. Gel Polish, Gel Hybrid, Gel Effect, Soak-Off Gel, UV Gel. What do they all mean? All this terminology makes it hard to decipher how a product applies and performs so I'm here to break down the differences for you.

San Fran restaurants
- q
- quayfisher Mar 13, 2007 02:49 PM
coming out to San Francisco in May, looking for some good meals. what are the best restaurants in the City?
As you might know, San Francisco is a very popular tourist destination, and this question gets asked pretty much all the time on this board. If you can provide more specific information, you'll get much more useful responses, since your inquiry is extremely general.
What area of the city are you staying in, and how far from your lodging are you willing to travel? What cuisines are you looking for? Where are you coming from? (So that we could suggest more uniquely San Francisco spots, or spots that represent cuisines you may not see as much where you live.) What price ranges are you interested in? Will you have access to a car, or are you using public transit?
I'd recommend doing searches of the board for any specific cuisines or locations you're interested in, as a start, and you'll probably get a more fruitful responses.
Wow, there must be so many threads on this and this question is so broad.
FWIW, my very favorites are:
Fleur de Lys- easily my #1 in the city on all accounts. Alsatian with some modern twists. Rediculously good. Beautiful room, expert service. 5 course pre fixe is $90ish, veggie is $70ish. Coat suggested.
La Folie- not quite as good as Fleur de Lys and exactly the same price. But more casual and less Alsace-centric and more general French with maybe some Provencal influence
A 16- Impeccable cooking, the best Southern Italian food I've ever had. Including in Southern Italy. Casual but incredibly trendy.
Slanted Door- My #1 tourist destination. Modern Vietnamese the way only SF could provide. Awesome German wine list. Casual.
re: whiner
Oh, I love La Folie; whenever I'm in town, I make sure to have a meal there. Even though good French food is widely available these days, the combination of great food, service, and comfortanle ambiance is just right for me. Slanted Door is also always a must -- we are Vietnamese-deprived here in Indiana, but even if we weren't I'd make a stop at this very special place.
re: Robert Lauriston
visiting from New York City. starting in Napa for 5 nights (Auberge, French Laundry) and heading back down to SF for three nights
re: quayfisher
If you want to stay with the same restaurant theme you are setting in Napa, consider Ame, The Dining Room at the Ritz Carlton, and Coi.

Gnocchi are Italian dumplings, cooked and sauced like pasta. Here, they're turned into a creamy casserole that's quick and easy to prepare on busy days. Look for vacuum-packed gnocchi on the pasta aisle.
Cooking Light NOVEMBER 2006
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cook gnocchi according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour, salt, and pepper to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk and broth, stirring with a whisk until blended. Bring to a boil; cook until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add Gruyère, chives, and bacon; stir until smooth. Add gnocchi; toss well.
Spoon mixture into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
Wine note: With creamy dishes like this, the texture of the dish is as important as the flavors. A suitably rich and full-bodied white, like Chardonnay, is a good match for the richness of Gruyère and bacon. Try Mezzacorona Chardonnay Vigneti delle Dolomiti 2005 ($8), from the north of Italy. It offers bright, fresh fruit and a touch of buttery flavor to complement the cheese. -Jeffery Lindenmuth

Rangeview was established by the government in response to over-crowding in the ageing Longmore Remand and Assessment Centre.
In October 2005, all the girls who had been held at Banksia Hill were transferred to Rangeview. Authorities reported this was because of a sexual encounter between a male and female detainee at Banksia Hill.
The Office of the Inspector of Custodial Services (OICS) reported (2008) on the Rangeview youth detention facility in October 2007. At that time, (p.iii) all girls, on remand and convicted, were held at Rangeview, and 75 percent of the young people at Rangeview were identified as Aboriginal. The OICS report also confirmed (p.1) that all children and young people remanded into custody in Western Australia would be admitted to Rangeview, albeit for a brief period; that Rangeview opened in 1994 with an average length of stay being 3 days, which had risen to 17 days at the time of inspection; and (p.2) that males and females were separated at Rangeview except for 'a few highly supervised, structured activities'.
In June 2008, the OICS inspected Banksia Hill and made some comments about Rangeview in that report, finding (p.iii) that the decision to transfer girls from Banksia Hill to Rangeview in 2005, had resulted in Rangeview 'housing sentenced females without the facilities or adequate services to meet their needs'.
By 2012 the decision had been made to remove young people from Rangeview. The transfer of young people to Banksia Hill occurred from September 2012, with the final detainees being transferred on 5 October 2012. The Wandoo Reintegration Facility opened on the Rangeview site in November 2012.
The collection held by the Department for Child Protection and Family Support (DCPFS) dates from 1894. It includes records from the Government Receiving Depot, the State Children's Department, the Child Welfare Department and more recent departments which have been known at different times as the Department for Child Protection, Community Development, Community Welfare, Community Services, and Family and Children's Services. The records relate to children who were placed in all types of out of home 'care' in Western Australia. Some of the records held by the DCPFS were originally created by another government department or private agency.

Colorado rejects labels for genetically engineered food
DENVER - Required labels for genetically engineered food have been rejected by Colorado lawmakers who feared the requirement would burden farmers and raise food prices.
A Democratic House committee voted 7-2 against the requirement Thursday. Lawmakers heard emotional testimony from parents who wanted to know more about how their food is produced, but lawmakers ultimately sided with farm groups that said the change would need to be federal.
The federal government and dozens more states are considering similar label requirements amid complaints from consumers that genetically engineered foods may be unsafe.
Many scientists say the labels aren't useful because genetically modified or engineered foods are safe.

Book Description: This book explains how four major firms--American Airlines, El Paso Natural Gas, AT&T, and Bank America--and their respective managements were challenged by the deregulation of markets starting in the late 1970s. The four stories illustrate the dynamic process of market restructuring and organizational adjustment, as well as the ways in which managers and regulators painfully learned to operate effectively as their economic and political environments shifted around them.

A little about me...
Looking and feeling much younger then the my age. I like meeting new people and having new experiences, but also enjoy the simpler pleasures life has to offer. I enjoy flea markets, antique shops, crafts, repurposing the old into new and finding special treasures. Newer to this area from the bustle of city life. Its so nice to have a really blue sky and green grass. I love animals (except maybe the ones that slither), I work in human services helping others.
About the one I'm looking for...
Nice would be to meet someone that likes to be active and may share some of the same interests. A true gift would be to find a friend/lover & activities partner who would enjoy being together, but also understand the importance of solo time. Postive outlook on life is a essential. We can't always control the bumps only choose the best way to deal with them and move on.
I'd just like to add...
If you don't have or choose not provide a photo, please keep moving on

Dealing With Distraction - How I've Simplified My Life
So I was sitting at dinner with friends and of course we were all typing away and staring at our phones, that's what geeks do, right? Anyway, someone mentions we should play the game where everyone puts their phone in a pile and the first person to grab theirs buys for the table.
A game is a good idea, right? This seems like a great idea.
I think the rest of the table must have thought so because just about everyone unanimously picked me as the loser before the game even started. While nearly everyone I know has a problem with putting down their phones apparently I have a bigger problem than all of them.
There's more to life than your cell phone.
Heck, there's more to life than a screen on any computer, phone, tablet, TV or whatever device you prefer. Some folks know this better than others and I am most definitely one of those "others."
What happened to my plans to get in shape? To spend time with friends and family? To walk my dog at least once a day? To simply have a conversation with someone in person, enjoy a book or some music or anything that doesn't involve computers?
It was time for me to deal with my addiction.
Lets face it, social media and the internet in general for so many of us is an addiction. It's the easy way out from "real life" encounters or other actions we don't want to participate in. For me turning to my computer or my iPad or phone had become almost compulsive. After all, what if I missed something? What if.... well, you get the idea.
Not only has the web become mindless entertainment for me but the endless, and mostly pointless, updates from nearly every source imaginable had become more important to me than real people and real activities. It was time for a change.
Step 1: Turn off the noise
Some people can quit something cold turkey. I did it with cigarettes myself when my son was born but stepping away from the screen for me has been a lot harder and, unlike cigarettes I must have access to many of the most addicting sites and networks for my career. Therefore, instead of just turning everything off completely I've started by turning off the noise. This means no notifications on any device or computer for anything except my phone, text messages and what I absolutely need to get my job done. Even those go off from 8:00pm to 8:00am Monday through Friday with very few exceptions.
While trying to figure out how to work my way out of my addiction two things came to light. First, when my phone beeps for anything I had it in my hand and unlocked faster than a dog has a stray piece of chicken dropped on the floor. Second, I never stopped at the incoming message (or whatever set my phone off). Sometimes I never even checked what cause the ring and immediately went for other apps to "check something." Turning off notifications instantly removed the trigger that, when I did put my phone down, always brought it right back to the forefront of my mind.
Step 2: Reduce the static
How many of us are members of dozens of social media sites yet only ever really bother with 1 or 2? Worse, how many of us stalk Facebook or Twitter or something else even when we don't have anything to post. I know I'm guilty of both.
The truth is there is no need for this and my answer has been to really trim my networks. I started by deleting everything I've posted to Facebook since 2009. This included all my photos, updates, likes and even people whom I didn't actually know. The idea here is not only did I see nothing but noise on Facebook but I was also part of the problem. The number of garbage political and other memes I've re-shared over the years is just mind-boggling. It had to go. In addition I've set a rather strict rule for myself that I will not like, comment or share on anything except for sharing my blog posts or responding to threads in the one or two professional groups I'm a member of. The result is I have no real reason to go there anymore. Once every few days to a week is fine and I know longer feel like I'm missing anything now that I know I won't be reacting to any of it anyway.
After Facebook their was Twitter. I took the opposite approach here as my use of Twitter is almost totally professional. Instead of deleting years of content I deleted the list of all 800 or so people I was following and started re-following only people who have something to say. So far I'm back up to following about 130 people and I still have room for more without losing any chance at interaction. Now I can get through my Twitter friends' posts in a few minutes each night and actually get something out of them instead of just scrolling through the endless garbage that had been filling up my feed for far too long.
Step 3: Turn off the rest
OK, I'm not quite here yet but I'm getting close. I still have Instagram, UnTappd and Foursquare on my phone and still use them all regularly. I need to dump those like all the games I've managed to get rid of (I'm proud to say I no longer have a single game on any device). I think what this comes down to is I need to stop worrying about competing for points in some app instead of saying hello to a good friend. The apps are not important. If I'm going somewhere where I will have time to kill I have a Kindle with close to 50 books I haven't read on it. In other words, there are better ways to occupy my time.
The Result
While I still have a long way to go I've gotten so much better. If this means that I don't reply to your comment on this post right away or to your Tweet or other communications within a few minutes, I'm OK with that. I've been reminded that I can interact with friends and family in real life without forgetting everything else that comes through. Now that I can get the important messages without all the noise I think that both life and work will be a lot better.
So next time I see you at a restaurant or the bar lets play that game where the first person to grab their phone buys. I could use a free drink as, this time around, I won't be the loser.

I'm 70, and for two thirds of my life I had a great deal of sympathy for the state of Israel, having been born right at the end of WWII, where they were killed mercilessly by the Nazis and Nazi sympathizers.

Modern Dating Etiquette -- Drinking on a Date -- How Much Is Too Much?
Do we even need to mention ruining your chances with a potential Mr. Right through your jank behavior? The point here is to exercise some courtesy and behave in a manner that's going to show off your sparkling personality while making you and your date comfortable and safe -- not completely embarrassed.
Let's use a first date lasting a couple of hours and a woman who's a light-to-moderate drinker as an example. Adjust as necessary, depending on your hooch-tolerance level.
Drink One: You're sizing this guy up, still feeling nervous and not really sure you even want to extend the date beyond a single beverage.
Drink Two: You're not really sure that you can live with a guy who's into "World of Warcraft." But by the time this drink is drained you're willing to entertain the notion. This should probably be your cue to go home and think it over in front of a "Real Housewives" rerun.
Drink Three: His lazy eye is starting to look kind of charming. You're pretty sure you're slaying him with your endless repertoire of "yo mama" jokes. Why does he keep yawning and looking at his watch?
Drink Four: What's one more? Bring on another amaretto sour! So what if you just sloshed half of it all over your new suede boots and the other half all over him? Your date's getting a little grabby, but you can't think clearly if that's OK with you or not. You're too busy telling him about the time you peed your pants on the seventh-grade field trip and ignoring the look of horror spreading across his face.
Drink Five: You can't even see your date clearly anymore, nor call anyone reliable for a ride or to walk you home. Your only hope is to sit here for the next few hours, pounding glass after glass of water (coffee's not gonna save you now). And that's if you have the wherewithal to play it safe and stay put.
What can seem cute and flirty after one drink can quickly become unseemly, sloppy and just plain dangerous a few drinks later. There's nothing wrong with unwinding and having some fun, but if it impairs your ability to find out if you really like this guy or if he's really trustworthy, what's the point? If you're smashed, you're not exactly putting your best face forward, either.
Let's face it: Dating is like a job interview. Only after you're secure in your position can you start slacking off and gutting fish at your desk, "Office Space"–style. You get the idea.

It's never a good idea to get drunk around someone you don't know anyway...
Monday 08 February
By Jamie Beach
The difference is, if I just met you, it doesn't matter to me if you are throwing them back too or not, being drunk often puts you in a situation that could be bad if you're dating the wrong person and on the first date you don't know about the other person, so they COULD be the wrong one who would, ya know, take you back to his place and try to sleep with you on the first date knowing you are drunk and not using your best judgment.
I'm married, and I never got drunk on a date with my husband until we were actually exclusively dating each other.

Voice delivered by LED signals to enable underwater conversation
Summary: A Japanese company has developed a device enabling divers to "talk" underwater by converting their voices into blinking signals for transmission and back again, allowing them to hear each other.
A Japanese company has developed the world's first underwater communications device which allows divers to talk with one another via converting voice into light signals for transmission, according to the Asahi Shimbun Monday.
The i-MAJUN system by Okinawa-based Marine Comms Ryukyu uses a light-emitting diode (LED) flashlight with a special diving mask. The mask converts a diver's voice into blinking LED signals which are transmitted to another diver, where the signals are converted back into voice and played back through speakers in the mask.
Potential uses include helping novice divers with lessons or for professional use in deepwater exploration. Trials are also underway to convert hand movements by handicapped divers to these LED signals in order for them to communicate.
The device took six years to develop and retails for about 250,000 yen (US$2,500), the newspaper said.

Carl McClure - I have lived and worked in the Columbia and Newberry Area since 1975. I have watched this area grow and develop; I know the schools, the communities, the lake and beautiful countryside. I have owned a boat for the majority of this time and have spent many hours discovering the over 600 miles of wondrous shoreline on Lake Murray. We have heavily populated areas with subdivisions, condos, farms with many acres and everything in between. We have flat terrain and land with mountain like views. There is something for everyone on Lake Murray and the Columbia Area. As a teacher and coach in this area for over 30 years and a real estate agent for over 6 years, I have excellent knowledge of the area and closed many successful transactions for my clients. I have found that working with my former students with the purchase of their homes a very rewarding experience! I look forward to the same kind of experience with you! My dedication to helping my clients extends beyond helping you buy or sell your home; I donate 10% of my commission back to a charity, school or church of your choice. If I am not helping my clients I can be found on the lake, with my family or on the tennis court.
