Because intuitive eating includes self-respect, being slim is a personal pact with yourself. Intuition is something you feel, not something you think. Sometimes it feels like curiosity. Sometimes it feels protective. Be curious about how your body feels before you put food in your mouth. This is how to protect yourself from mindless overeating.
4 Intuitive Steps To Be & Stay Slim
1. Recognize when you feel curious or self-protective around food. Pay attention to yourself! These are physical signals from your intuition. The more you notice the signals, the clearer they become.
- Why it works: Your body is always talking to you - especially before and while you are eating. Tune in to how you feel.
This is how you learn to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're not.
2. Sincerely decide that losing weight long-term or staying slimmer matters to you. Your 'little voice' will remind you when you go off track. Listen to it.
- .Why it works: When you are sincere in a private way, you make a pact with your heart that is registered by your brain.
3. Don't starve yourself & stop eating before you feel 'full'. Survival is intuitive. Starving your body is not. Physically doing this sends signals to your body to store fat! Eating with curiosity and being protective of your body reduces stress.
- Why it works: Your body is a machine that works for your best health when it is not starved or overloaded. You will notice that you have more energy when you keep your body feeling comfortable but not stuffed.
When you stress less, you eat less.
4. Smile more when you eat. It's a fact that your digestion works more efficiently when your body is relaxed. That means your body burns more calories and gets more energy from food when you're relaxed while eating. If you inhale your food like a 'vacuum', you are not relaxed. You know you're relaxed when you enjoy and remember the taste of what you are eating.
- Why it works: You cannot chew food and smile at the same time. Smiling slows down your eating and gives you time to notice the way your food tastes. This helps you relax. If you're eating with others, your smile will send them signals to relax. Smiling helps to satisfy social needs at mealtime.
Enjoying social and physical pleasures of eating is healthy. Good health feels sexy.
Your body is your personal priority. Make a pact with yourself and let the good times roll.

Health-management company Kaiser Permanente of Georgia could open its new Athens office in as few as five weeks to start treating patients.
Although Kaiser offers quality medical care similar to private practice doctors and larger hospitals, the nonprofit has put several strategies in place to help increase efficiency and focus on preventative care.
Even the structure of Athens' Kaiser Permanente office
will offer patients an easy way
to see a doctor, get a quick
digital X-ray and pick up prescriptions all at the same location.
"The design of our facility will essentially be a one-stop shop," said Dr. Daniel Grizzle. Grizzle is an internal medicine specialist who will work at Kaiser's Athens office.
Grizzle has worked for Kaiser Permanente for about 12 years and currently works in the Duluth office, he said.
"I'm very excited to be coming (to Athens)," Grizzle said. "I'm looking forward to staying there for a long time."
Kaiser Permanente doctors stress preventative care, Grizzle said.
Tools like emailing nurses and doctors — and receiving answers in 48 hours — as well as classes in yoga and tai chi encourage people to take an active interest in their health, said Dr. Tandua Washington, a Kaiser pediatrician who works at the Sugar Hill office. The Athens office will look a lot like the Sugar Hill office.
Even the Kaiser doctors' compensation mechanism helps encourage preventative care.
"We are salaried, so you're not incentivized to do more," Washington said.
Most other doctors are paid per procedure, with more expensive procedures earning more money. A salaried position gives her more time to talk about health care and preventative measures with her patients, Washington said. "We're partnered with (the patient) in their health care," she said.
Kaiser also increases the efficiency of preventative health care by keeping up-to-date electronic records that notify doctors of needed procedures.
For example, if a 55-year-old woman comes in for a flu shot, her electronic chart also might show it's time for her yearly mammogram. Doctors will try to take care of as many patient needs as possible in one visit, Washington said.
"We're very proud of the preventative things that we're doing," she said. "I really think that's an area we excel in."
Patients also can visit the secure Kaiser Permanente website to look at lab results, schedule an appointment and refill prescriptions.
The Kaiser website
even gives patients a
credible source for
researching diseases and conditions.
Patients can take the time to learn more about a particular disease without running into incorrect or misleading information online, Washington said.
"It really does put the power in (the patient's) hands to be a little more proactive," she said.
Kaiser Permanente's Athens office, now under construction at the Athens Medical Complex, 2142 W. Broad St., will cost about $3.5 million to build and equip. For more information about Kaiser Permanente, visit www.kp.org.

Blogging for IBM
Hello all, it's been a while since I posted content here on my own blog, but I do regularly write for several other blogs, including IBM developerWorks Open, IBM OpenTech, Bluemix Dev, and Thoughts on Cloud.
Here are a few recent entries:
- Upcoming open tech conferences: Cloud Foundry, OpenStack, and Docker
- IBM Research talks cloud innovation at OpenStack meetups.
- IBM contributions to OpenStack go beyond the code.
- Cross-origin resource sharing for Bluemix APIs.
- Learn about cloud (or share your expertise) at a local meetup.
If you're interested on my take in various areas of cloud computing – particularly in the realm of open source – add those feeds to your reader.
Cross-origin resource sharing on IBM Bluemix
Update: A newer version of this post has been published to the IBM Bluemix blog.
The IBM Bluemix Platform-as-a-Service (based on Cloud Foundry) naturally supports applications that are composed of many services that are in turn deployed to different hostnames.
For example, if you push an application to Bluemix, the name you provide will be prepended to .mybluemix.net resulting in an address such as:
- http://my-sample-app.mybluemix.net
If your cloud-native app follows the best practices of a microservices architecture you'll probably have two or more subcomponents that live on discrete hostnames like this.
But what if you have a JavaScript based front-end that needs to aggregate information from the disparate hosts? By default you won't have access to data on these other subdomains.
The solution is to take advantage of the HTTP headers that are available to allow you to control cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).
To illustrate the problem and the solution, consider the simple Ajax application here:
If you click the red box, you'll initiate an asynchronous HTTP call in JavaScript to a servlet on another host at:
The source of this servlet shows that no particular HTTP headers are set, thus the JavaScript call never reaches it.
However, if you click the blue box, you'll initiate a call to a different servlet on that host:
This time the Ajax call will successfully consume data from the service, because the HTTP headers allow services from a different domain to access the servlet.
[code lang="java"]
If you need to allow access to all client hostnames, replace the whitelist with a wildcard:
[code lang="java"]
There you have it; a simple way to build dynamic JavaScript applications composed of several microservices on IBM Bluemix (or any other Cloud Foundry PaaS).
I used Java in this example, but the same HTTP headers apply whether you're using Ruby, Node.js, PHP, Python or any other runtime.
Zend on IBM private/public clouds at NYPHP
Next Tuesday, June 26th, I'll be speaking at the New York PHP user group about the project I led to bring the Zend Application Fabric onto IBM's on-premise private cloud rack, PureSystems, and onto IBM's public cloud, SmartCloud Enterprise.
I'll describe the Zend Application Fabric for highly available PHP clusters, and show how its topology is supported by scaling and failover policies built into the IBM platform. I'll also show how it integrates with the DB2 based Database-as-a-Service.
At the core of the Zend/IBM system is an IBM virtual application pattern (based on the TOSCA standard) that specifies how virtual machines are layed out, which other VMs they should link (or react) to based on life cycle events, and when they should scale up or down.
You will learn how to activate the Zend pattern, customize the topology, set a scaling policy, monitor the infrastructure, tweak the Zend configuration, view IBM elasticity and fault tolerance in action, and perform repeatable deployments using a template.
RSVP now, or make a note to catch the live stream.
Predictive analytics for football play outcomes
Inspired by the NFL playoffs in January, I wrote an invention disclosure on how to merge player statistics with current field conditions to yield a visual probability of how a play might turn out.
The end result I envisioned was that you could watch the game on television as a spectator (or in real time as a competing coach) to see what the outcome the system predicted at the start of a field goal or 3rd down pass, for example.
As a sports fan the technology adds value to what broadcasters currently provide with digital first down markers and 3D play analysis.
As a coach, you could confidently plan what your next play would be. If the likelihood of scoring a touchdown was high, you could more quickly decide whether to kick the extra point or go for a two-point conversion ahead of time.
Beyond American football, the technology could be applied to many other situations, such as ice hockey, as well as non athletic events.
Example Embodiment #1: Field Goal
In the NFL, a place kicker lines up to attempt a field goal. Using statistical data about the player (his history of successful field goals from this distance in this stadium) as well as sensor or other real time data about conditions on the field, the system overlays a heat map onto the image on the television screen, showing solid orange where the kick is likely to go (and fading opacity farther away from the center based on the probability). This provides a good indication where the kick will end up, and whether it will be successful. (Figure 1)
Figure 1: Likely outcome of field goal attempt in this context
Example Embodiment #2: Pass Play
In the NFL, a quarterback has his team lined up in a pass formation. Using statistical data about the player (his history of passes from this field position in this stadium) as well as sensor or other real time data about conditions on the field, the system overlays a heat map onto the image on the television screen, showing orange where the ball is likely to go (and fading opacity farther away from the center based on the probability) and yellow highlights the probable receiver. This provides a good indication where the pass will end up, or to which player he will pass. (Figure 2)
Figure 2: Likely receiver of the pass and field position of the catch in this context
Example Embodiment #3: Hockey shootout
In the National Hockey League (NHL), a hockey game has goes into overtime and comes to a shootout to determine the winner. Using statistical data about the player (his history of one on one shots against this goalie in this venue) as well as sensor or other real time data about conditions on the ice, the system overlays a heat map onto the image on the television screen, showing orange where the puck is likely to go (and fading opacity farther away from the center based on the probability). This provides a good indication where the player will shoot.
IBM decided not to pursue a patent, but published the idea to protect the intellectual property. The full article is available behind a paywall at IP.com.
Would be interesting if this serves as prior art for any later invention that gets implemented.
Migrating PHP applications to DB2
IBM developerWorks has just published the final part in our series on migrating a PHP application from MySQL to DB2.
Learn why to move a PHP application to DB2, how to plan the migration, how to execute it, how to support it, and how to handle potential risks based on the experience of an IBM intranet application case study. This four-part series shares lessons from a successful MySQL-to-DB2 migration for a mission-critical PHP intranet application used by 4,000 global users within IBM to support content production for ibm.com.
- Part 1: Prepare for your migration
- Part 2: Migrate your data
- Part 3: Convert your PHP code
- Part 4: Deploy your application
In addition to sharing our own experience, the series highlights the number of resources available to you to carry out your own migration.
Use the IBM Cloud to build your PHP apps
IBM developerWorks just published an article I wrote about using the Development and Test Cloud to create PHP applications.
The tutorial covers some scenarios that make the cloud compelling for PHP developers and then takes the reader through the installation of Zend Server with DB2 on the IBM Cloud.
If the content looks familiar, you may have seen an earlier version in a print copy I handed out at New York PHP (PDF) late last year.
Speaking of the cloud and NYPHP, don't forget to join us next week to look at an alternative way to use the cloud to develop PHP applications using Amazon and RightScale.
Move from MySQL to DB2 via the Cloud
IBM developerWorks has just published the first article in a series that Mark Nusekabel, Yan Li Mu and I wrote about our experience migrating a large PHP and MySQL application to DB2.
In the four part series we look at preparation, switching databases, porting code, and finally deploying the application. This first installment covers the steps to plan and resources to consult when starting a migration project.
Along with the MySQL to DB2 migration Redbook, a key technology supplementing each step in the process is the IBM Smart Business Development and Test Cloud.
If you already have access to the Development and Test pilot, the PHP developer's guide (PDF) can give you some tips for configuring Zend Server along with DB2 using virtual machines in that cloud.
The article series and the developer's guide may also be useful to those who have a contract for the GA version of Development and Test.
Another option to evaluate DB2 for a migration is to use the Amazon EC2 AMIs pre-configured with IBM software individually.
Or, if you're interested in managing several instances or more complex configurations, RightScale and IBM have collaborated (PDF) to bridge the Amazon and IBM clouds.
So, if you're considering a new relational backend for your application, the developerWorks migration series, the PHP developer's guide for the IBM cloud, and the images within the Amazon and IBM clouds will give you a new set of tools to make evaluating the move and executing the switchover much easier.
Easter egg in the AIX InfoCenter
I had to double check the calendar when I first saw this gem in the AIX online documentation yesterday, but it was still March, not yet April first.
AIX 6.1 information > Commands > Categorical list of commands
Purpose: Starts the hunt the wumpus game.
Syntax: wump
Description: A wumpus is a creature living in a cave with many rooms interconnected by tunnels. You move among the rooms trying to shoot the wumpus with an arrow and trying to avoid being eaten by the wumpus or falling into bottomless pits.
As far as I can tell, this command is a hand-me-down from when the System V UNIX-based AIX incorporated bits from BSD.
I suppose this and the other games are still there for those customers using AIX on workstations (rather than bored sysadmins monitoring high-end servers… I hope).

Private Cruise on Seine
One of our favourite travellers went to Ireland with a side of France. It was a quick trip to Paris, their first time to France. Many take the Bateaux Mouche up the Seine with 200 others, but we prefer a private cruise.
We agreed to help with the little detour, but only after they promised to plan a trip back back to France. After all, France is too beautiful, its culture too rich, to take in during just a few days!

Today, my review of Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg's The Plain Janes – available for under $10 through MINX (DC Comics) – appeared at The Graphic Classroom where I just raved and raved and raved.
The Plain Janes deals with the fear of contemporary terrorism, what stringent regulation and isolation and unhappiness results from said fear, and the young adults' role in so big a societal quandary. As many are on the brink of leaving their homes for colleges, for exercising their independence, such reading probably inspires at least some thought about one's place in the bigger picture.

Cyanotype is a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue print. Engineers used the process well into the 20th century as a simple and low-cost process to produce copies of drawings, referred to as blueprints. The process uses two chemicals: ammonium iron citrate and potassium ferricyanide.

Bobby Nichols Golf Course – Louisville, KY
I wanted to play Valhalla…but they did not want me. So what was the problem? Just a few issues…1) It's a private golf course; 2) The PGA had some major tournament occupying the course this day; 3) It's not a 9-hole course. So down the road we traveled to Waverly Park and a more accommodating track – Bobby Nichols Golf Course. Read more →

School is back in session officially.
Whether your children are just starting out in preschool, kindergarten, or elementary school or have graduated high school and left for the first year of college; there is a lot of excitement around the beginning of a school year and for some a level of anxiety.
Monday, 08/14/2017, marked the first day of school for Academy District 20, a Colorado Springs school district that has been well honored with academic, athletic, and artistic awards of excellence. If you're new to the area, read more about some of the schools in Academy District 20.
For parents with students starting a new school in the district or even going back to a familiar school there are some basic tools to making the 2017-2018 school year successful.
Back to School in Colorado Springs
- Acknowledge and talk through their back-to-school anxiety. It's tempting to say, you'll be fine because you've been through it, but this is a big change especially for kids that are facing a brand new school. Here's some tips to alleviate back-to-school anxiety.
- Be involved in the school community as much as possible. If you're new to the district, meet your neighbors, attend school events, and cultivate good relationships with your child's teachers. We are all partners in the educational and social development of your child's future.
- Establish technology device rules and appropriate screen times early in the school year. If this is already a struggle for your kids start with a Device-Free Dinner.
- Begin or reclaim good school day routines. Back-to-school routines include: established homework times, screen times, bedtime and morning wake up times that are successful for your family. This also includes time for a healthy breakfast, and a realistic plan for getting out the door to school without too much stress. Organized but flexible and realistic routines help the whole family adjust to a new school year.
- Set sensible age appropriate school year goals with your children and get the family involved. Goal setting teaches kids perseverance, time management, and responsibility.
- Too many after school activities? There is a lot of debate or whether or not children can be overscheduled with activities. Parents, you know your kids best. The activities a child chooses to participate in after school can benefit them in many ways. But if it's too much, and you see warning signs…don't be afraid to end the activity or activities to include more family time or free time.
- Slowdown and appreciate all of it…the joy and pride of watching your children learn as they grow, along with the inevitable struggles. Before you know it…you may be faced with a new challenge, coping with an empty nest.
Are you ready to begin the 2017-2018 school year?

For the past two weeks, there have been a number of archaeologists working on Lindley Moor.
At least I guess they're archaeologists.
As I've mentioned before, these archaeologists don't look like the archaeologists I know personally but the it takes all sorts.
The archaeologists are rumoured to be looking for evidence of a Roman Road at a contentious site that is currently the centre of a controversial planning application.
The Roman Road is thought to lead to the old fort of Cambodunum at Slack in nearby Outlane.
This morning it looks like the archaeologists have either moved away from the north-east sector of the site, to another part of the site, or they're finished and moved on to their next project.
Over the last couple of days I've diverted from my evening stroll to explore the areas they have been investigating.
It has been a diverting experience; I've shared the fields with an enigmatic metal detector and his dog (who both seemed called from the works of M. R. James when I first encountered them).
I've also explored areas of the site that I have never visited before, either through laziness or the presence of violent livestock.
I've had opportunity to speak to strange locals and also meet calmer, less violent livestock.
Over the last two evenings I've managed to bore the viewers of YouTube to tears with recordings of the various dig sites.
At first I thought that I might be overdoing it but in retrospect the videos may be all that people have to remind themselves of such a beautiful area and the lengths people went to to try prevent the local council and property developers from further destruction to our precious green belt.
Looking at the many dig sites on site (and I think some stretch off the main development site) a few have some interesting elements.
Aside form signs of recent construction materials and ceramics that may or may not have been planted as a hoax, there are also areas that the archaeologists have concentrated on… presumably with toothbrushes.
A couple show signs of the continuation exisitng dry stone walls… but older. As if the buildings and walls on site have been pulled back since their original construction.
Most interesting of all are the two sites containing what look like walled up culverts of some kind. I've been back this evening to get pictures of the culverts for this blog.
I'm not convinced the archaeologists are done with the site yet but I'm also not convinced that anything they find will prevent the area being tarmacked over and turned into a disused data campus.
The videos are many in number but all are available on my YouTube channel. I'd love for you to see them, so I have listed the relevant videos below.
The first three are from July 26th 2011, when I explored the southern sector of Lindley Moor and spread round to cover the western side.
The rest are from the evening of July 27th 2011, when I intended to cover the rest of the site but simply ended up ambling the whole site.
I also saw some of the local fauna…

2014-15: What have we been up to?
The last year has been a huge success for the Alternotives. The group's continued to sing a whole range of exciting and original arrangements, from Rihanna to Kate Bush and Hozier. We've had great fun performing all around Oxford, at events from the Ashmolean's festive Light Night in November to Wadham's Music Festival 'Wadstock' in May. 5 intense days of 'boot camp', perfecting arrangements and choreography, ended with a charity concert at Rockingham Castle, which raised over £2,000 for Homestart. August saw yet another fantastic run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where we performed for over 2000 people over 17 days. We were even caught on camera for the BBC Breakfast Show. We got amazing responses from our audiences, and great reviews of our show:
We want to say a huge thank you and goodbye to all the members who have recently left the group: Lucy McCann and Iona Davey (Presidents), Tommy Siman (Musical Director), Tom Pease (Marketing Director), Michael Davies , Michael Beale , Chesney Ovsiowitz, Katty Cowles, and Xavier Hussain

What do you do when you remaster a Beatle's work? You channel the original aura of the music. For Paul Hicks, that meant working with members of George Harrison's family as he remastered Harrison's catalogue.
As the Lurssen Mastering blog writes, "Reuben Cohen and I spent a great deal of time in the studio with Paul Hicks who did a brilliant job overseeing all of George's albums along with Dhani and Olivia Harrison. Together we all shaped this music from the original masters for today's formats and I swear, I felt George was with us too...somehow."
Hicks, a three-time GRAMMY-winning audio engineer, remastered Harrison's catalogue for both digital and vinyl—remastering everything from the original tapes. The box set contains albums from the The Apple Years 1968–75 and The Dark Horse Years 1976–1992 CD box sets, the Brainwashed album (2002), and a few picture discs of "When We Was Fab" and "Got My Mind Set On You."
"Even though the focus was to create the vinyl box set, we also wanted to make high resolution remasters of all George's albums," explains Hicks.
Listen to the catalogue below, and read our interview with Hicks. Plus, check out RX—the software Hicks used to repair audio from George Harrison's catalogue.
"These albums were not made to be compressed to the max—they need to breathe." —Paul Hicks, Remastering Engineer
George Harrison Box Set
How did you work with Dhani and Olivia Harrison (George's son and widow)? What kinds of things did you talk about, and how did they help inform decisions that you made in remastering George's music?
I have been working on Beatles and related projects as long as I can remember. I worked at Abbey Road Studios for many years and have known the Harrisons for a long time, too. After all this time, I have an idea of how they want things to sound. I would normally do the restoration, then a first pass at remastering. I would then send that out for notes and comments, and we would take it from there.
I think when remastering a catalogue like this, you have to be aware of when the albums were made. There is a nice warmth to a lot of the albums and we wanted to keep that.
Have you had a chance to use RX 6 Advanced on your work remastering the George Harrison catalogue? If so, how have you used it? What modules have you used, and on which songs/albums?
This project was done before RX 6 was released, but I am working on a new project and using RX 6 and it's great. The module I use most is Spectral Repair.
The main restoration work on these projects is fixing tape dropouts around tape edits and also at the start and end of songs. I normally start with Pattern then try Replace. Other useful tools are De-hum, De-click, and De-clip.
Obviously, in a project like this, you want to keep things as pure as possible—but sometimes a light use of these repair tools is useful.
Paul Hicks in studio
Were there particular songs or albums that posed more challenges than others when remastering? If so, why, and how did you approach those challenges?
I think the The Apple Years 1968–75 box set was the most challenging, mostly because it was the oldest material. When remastering an artist's catalogue, I always want it all to live in the same audio world, and Apple Years had some very different sounding albums.
The Wonderwall Music soundtrack [Harrison's debut solo album] and Electronic Sound album [his second] were quite a challenge, as they were experimental projects. Wonderwall had lots of reversed and crazy looped sounds, and Electronic Sound is basically a Moog modular synth, so in terms of restoration, it was sometimes hard to work out if something was intentional or not.
In another iZotope interview, Adam Ayan of Gateway Mastering says, "With remastering, I generally don't like to go crazy with level. These records have been known and loved by millions, and shouldn't be victims of hyper-compression. I can almost always get more level on a remaster versus the original without the artifacts of compression and limiting—that's because most modern digital compressors and limiters are so much more transparent than what might have been available the first time around. Like any other mastering session, if I reach that point of diminishing returns, I stop and back off."
How do you reconcile using modern tech like the digital compressors and limiters available today with the tech that was available at the time of recording?
Like Adam, we definitely took a similar approach to the final compression and limiting. These albums were not made to be compressed to the max—they need to breathe. Especially some of the earlier, more experimental albums like Wonderwall and Electronic Sound. Wonderwall is a psychedelic soundtrack, it's a combination of many musical styles and ideas, some loud, some quiet. It's a sonic adventure, and it's important to keep the dynamics as originally intended.
When I started working with Gavin and Reuben at Lurssen Mastering, I did ask them to push it a few times, but it wasn't right, so we went back to their initial settings. The Lurssen setup is very analog. They always make things sound warm, which really suits this type of project.

Over the last week I started experimenting with drawing on origami. It hasn't been turning out how I envisioned for a few reasons.
I'm no origami wizard. I have made some of the basics like cranes in the past but I'm struggling a lot with these complex Geometrical forms. The folds are simple but the building is a pain. After the first one, I decided to start using little scrapbook glue dots to keep them together.
Also I'm not sure exactly how to get the art onto the origami. If you fold it first, you struggle to draw around the folds. If you draw first, you struggle to fold it just right for the drawing. If you built first, it's hard to get support behind it.
Plus, if you use cheap flimsy origami paper like I did the paper doesn't take being drawn on very well. It also doesn't take being manhandled into origami very well.
I'll continue trying this out from time to time but it takes a while to make the forms so I don't have the time to do it regularly.
If you want to give it a shot, I'm using this book:
I think you could draw on other kinds of origami too but I wanted to see some cool geometric monstrosities.
If you decide to give this a shot, please share pictures. I'd love to see what you make.

Front Lower Control Arms Cam Bolts Package - 2010-2013 Dodge Ram 4x4 2500 & 3500
Application: 2010-2013 Dodge Ram 4x4 2500 | 2010-2012 3500
Front Lower Control Arms Cam Bolts Package
We have yet to remove a pair of front lower control arms from a 2010-2013 Dodge Ram 4x4 truck that we did not have to cut off the front mounting bolts. Due to the design of the factory's front mounting bolts, water can enter through the side of the bolt causing it to rust fast to the bolt sleeve inside of the factory's front bushing.
This front lower control arm cam bolts package includes two Genuine Dodge front bolts, two Genuine Dodge cam washers and two Genuine Dodge lock nuts (see the picture).
Priced per Pair -- Qty. 1 = 1 Pair
Note: If you are ordering Spohn Performance front lower control arms you do not need to order this cam bolts package as they are included. This cam bolts package is for those who are working with their factory front lower control arms or any other brand aftermarket front lower control arms that do not include this hardware.
LCA Mounting Hardware: Optional new lower control arms (for the rearward ends) mounting hardware kit gives you all new
Grade 10.9 bolts, washers and nuts. Make your choice in the option box above.

Beams on the Brain
I've got beams beams beams on the brain. And I am finding it incredibly hard to make a decision on what to add to our ceiling in the living room. If you are just joining me, my sweet and incredibly handsome hubby told me that we could tackle one of my many dream projects for our house. Adding beams to our living room. Ever since we moved in, I have always thought the ceiling in our living room area could use some sort of pizazz, if you will…something to add a lil architectural interest.
** http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/197806608604199788_PbqVwPUG_f.jpg **
via Houzz
I just adore homes that really incorporate the ceiling as a 5th wall. Whether it's painted, planked or pimped out with rustic beams, I'm all over it.
** http://media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com/upload/197806608603818653_fyWO6nW8_f.jpg **
via Elle Decor
I cannot tell you how many times I have sat on our couch and stared at our blank canvas of a ceiling daydreaming about what I would do to it if I was given the chance to freshen it up. And now the time is here and I am questioning every idea that pops into my noggin.
I mean once it's done, it's done. Wow…I'm really whipping out the brilliant statements now. Everyone get out your pens and paper, you are going to want to remember that. What I mean is, it's not like a paint color, where if you hate it, you just paint over it. This is going to require A LOT of energy to put up and I cannot have one of my typical moments where I turn my head to the side and say "hmmmmm I'm not sure…" I can just picture my poor husband standing there looking at me with that face…you know the one. I think I have posted it on here before. Something like this
or possibly like this?
But, this last one is doubtful because chances are he won't be able to lift his arms up due to the fact that he will have had them up for 2 days nailing wood to the ceiling. They will most likely be mush or feel like dead weights.
So you can understand how I cannot put my patient husband through that. I need to get this exactly right. One chance is all I get with this project. Talk about pressure. Cue the "pump me up" music, cause things have got to start happening! For all of you just shaking your heads, I know in the grand scheme of things, this is not life or death…it's just beams, but I want to get it right, ya know. I have seen some crazy ceilings where you can see maybe what they were going for, but it just didn't get executed right. I don't want our fifth wall to be a big oh flop.
So, this is what I have been doing to make sure I get it right. I have compiled pictures of my dream beams. Thank you, Pinterest, for making it so easy and if you follow me, sorry for the mass attack of ceilings I've made you suffer through. If all was right in the world, I would love to have something like this in my house.

But the more I looked at our living room and tried to picture something like this, it felt like these beams were trying too hard. I want to walk into my home and have it all look like it belongs together…where each component adds to the the overall space. I don't want something screaming to be noticed. And I couldn't help but feel like if we did big rustic natural beams they would do exactly that. People would notice them right when they took a step in, comment on how great they are and then look at the rest of the room and turn their head to the side in confusion. (Can you tell that I have been thinking at great length about this?) I realize I have issues, people.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing I love more than big rustic wood beams. They make my heart skip a beat…my "pins" should certainly tell you that I really really wanted rustic natural beams. But, every single time I looked across the span of our house, my brain kept telling me clean, classic, and white. Thanks brain, but my heart was saying big, rustic, and natural. Follow your heart, blah blah blah blah blah…but I thought I would give my brain the benefit of the doubt and pin some clean, classic and white ceilings.

As I was pinning these pictures, I started to realize that this might be exactly what I was looking for.

** http://media-cache-ec2.pinterest.com/upload/197806608603595785_yO4A1Xs2_f.jpg **
Then I thought maybe I could have the best of both worlds. What about adding the white planks AND the rustic beams. Something like this, maybe?
both via Decor Pad
As beautiful as these two rooms are, there was just something off when I tried to picture it in our home. So, back to the white planks and and white beams.

via Pinterest
I looked at these for awhile and then I knew something like this was it. They go with the style of our home, would add architectural interest, and still make our open floor plan feel open but maybe a little more intimate.
Well, at least I hope…next step is ordering the white planks….eeek!!! Where is that pump me up music???

A book loving family of four, Dan, Julia and their two daughters were looking to add on to and rearrange their three bedroom, one bathroom home to suit their unique needs for places to study, rest, play, and hide and go seek. A generous lot allowed for a addition to the north of the house connecting to the middle bedroom/den, and the design process, while initially motivated by the need for a more spacious and private master bedroom and bathroom, evolved to focus around Dan & Julia distinct desires for home offices.
Dan, a Minnesotan Medievalist, craved a cozy, wood paneled room with a nook for his reading chair and ample space for books, and, Julia, an American Studies professor with a focus on history of progressive children's literature, imagined a bright and airy space with plenty of shelf and desk space where she could peacefully focus on her latest project. What resulted was an addition with two offices, one upstairs, one downstairs, that were animated very differently by the presence of the connecting stair–Dan's reading nook nestled under the stair and Julia's office defined by a custom bookshelf stair rail that gave her plenty of storage down low and a sense of spaciousness above. A generous corridor with large windows on both sides serves as the transitional space between the addition and the original house as well as impromptu yoga room. The master suite extends from the end of the corridor towards the street creating a sense of separation from the original house which was remodeled to create a variety of family rooms and utility spaces including a small "office" for the girls, an entry hall with storage for shoes and jackets, a mud room, a new linen closet, an improved great room that reused an original window that had to be removed to connect to the addition. A palette of local and reclaimed wood provide prominent accents throughout the house including pecan flooring in the addition, barn doors faced with reclaimed pine flooring, reused solid wood doors from the original house, and shiplap paneling that was reclaimed during remodel.

Since it is almost Memorial Day and all I thought I would concentrate on one of the icons of Memorial Day cuisine for the What's In That feature this week and focus on Catsup-Ketchup.
Most ketchup that you buy in the store has the same basic ingredients.
- Tomato Concentrate (tomato paste, basically)
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (you had to see that comin')
- Distilled Vinegar
- Corn Syrup (if it isn't organic it is likely GMO, remember)
- Salt
- Onion Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Natural Flavors
Really, compared to the Sugar Pops you had for breakfast ketchup isn't too bad. There are really only three ingredients of concern.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Yep. I am going to harangue, wax poetic even, on the evils of HFCS. It isn't the natural sugar-like substance that the Corn Refiners Assoc wants you to think it is. What is the name of their group? The Corn Refiners Assoc. It is their job to promote refined corn products. Period. The are as concerned for your health as Monsanto is. It is a BUSINESS for goodness sake, of course they are going to ask you to drink their high fructose corn syrup sweetened Koolaide and invite you to blogger conferences and give you cool swag. That's because the little people making the organic stuff are too busy working their butts off to be able to afford to pay you off.
O.k.. HFCS
First of all if you are eating anything with this stuff in it you are going to have massive trouble losing weight. Princeton University released a study that showed the rats with free access to HFCS gained "significantly" more weight than rats with free access to table sugar. Your body does NOT process it the same.
In addition to the weight gain the researchers found over a period of time, ingesting HFCS led to abnormal increase in body fat with the majority of it forming in the abdomen. Triglycerides also rose.
Prof. Bart Hobel, was quoted as saying "When rats are drinking high-fructose corn syrup at levels well below those in soda pop, they're becoming obese — every single one, across the board. Even when rats are fed a high-fat diet, you don't see this; they don't all gain extra weight."
The rats exhibited the same signs of obesity that humans do, and these are associated with:
- High blood pressure
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Cancer
- Diabetes
These illnesses are rampant in America today…and so is the consumption of HFCS.
If all of that wasn't bad enough, a 2009 study found that HFCS contains Mercury. Mercury is highly toxic in small amounts…so much so that we have even been warned against eating to much of certain types of fish because of the levels of Mercury. But feel free to feed it to your kids in their breakfast cereal….
Dr. Mark Hyman wrote a great article called 5 Reasons High Fructose Corn Syrup Will Kill You. If you are still on the fence, read it.
I know the argument. "It's too hard/takes too much time/ inconvenient to make food from scratch and not use convenience foods. Well…that's what this series is all about, isn't it??
Let's move on…
Corn Syrup
There really isn't much I can say about regular corn syrup except that if it isn't organic it is made with genetically modified corn. Were you aware that Monsanto was ordered by a court in Germany to make public a study that upheld the claims that animals fed the genetically modified (GMO) corn developed extensive health problems that affected blood, kidneys, and liver?
Mon863, Monsanto's engineered corn product has its DNA changed and manipulated so that it will produce its own pesticide, a toxin you may be familiar with if you garden, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). It is designed to attack the corn worm's gut and paralyze the digestive system… the corn worm starves to death over several days.
It has been found that animals fed this corn develop a series of response including:
- Allergies (note the high rise in corn allergies over the past few years)
- Cancer
- Anemia
- Kidney problems, including lesions
- Increased blood sugar levels
GMO corn is in nearly every commercial product that you eat that is not organic.
Natural Flavors
So what do you think of when you think of natural flavor? Fresh strawberries? Maybe pungent garlic, with the earth still clinging to it?
The USDA defines Natural Flavor as (emphasis mine):
"the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional" (21CFR101.22).
And… the NOP (National Organic Program) allows these "natural flavors" because they are natural and in small amounts.
Which is why Castoreum, derived from beaver anal glands can be listed as a natural flavoring but artificial vanilla must be called artificial vanilla.
Natural flavorings are scary to me because they don't have to be listed. I mean, sure, I'd eat something that was derived from blueberry fruit… but I'd rather not eat a food that included beaver, you know? Big difference.
If you are a vegetarian and that salad dressing you love says "natural flavors" it could have beef extracts in it. There is no way to know. And, because the definition is so open ended there is no way to know exactly what constitutes the natural flavor in your ice cream, candy bar, or favorite pizza sauce.
And there you have it. When you are buying regular ketchup then you also have pesticide, herbicide, and chemical fertilizer residues to deal with, but hey, Monsanto is slipping those things into their GMO products to make it easier for you to ingest them anyway.
And recently the government has decided to allow GMO corn to be used in organic feed for your organic steak.
Grass fed only around here, babeeee.
Now, there is an option. You knew there was…and I am gonna give you the coolest, easiest, fastest, yummiest recipe for instant ketchup EVER. You can make this, organic and GMO free in about 3 minutes. Just keep it in a tightly covered glass jar in the fridge for up to two weeks.
You won't go back to the commercial types… unless you like drinking the Monsanto Koolaide.

The weather in the azores is unstable, amazing and today was a great proof of that. Our morning wasn't easy because of the rain and the fog that didn't allow our lookouts do their job. They spotted a group of common dolphins that were lost in the middle of the rain. Unfortunately we could not find them because of the waves. In the afternoon we seemed to be on a totally different island.The sea was much calmer and with a few common dolphins close to the marina of ponta delgada. We went a little further to look for a group of bottlenose dolphins but they went for a deep dive in wich made it impossible for us to see them. But another group of common dolphins was making the joy of our guests full of energy and with many rainbows to look good in the photo.

(Livorno, IT) Herbert Engineering served as a consultant to the salvage refloating operation of the drydock Meditteraneo and the research vessel Urania lying inside. A full article describing the operation can be found here. During the lifting operation a year earlier the vessel listed to the portside and fell from the keel blocks. In the subsequent response a leak caused the pump rooms to flood which put all drydock pumping and control systems out of service.
An Italian naval architect, Alessio Gnecco, of Stige Maritime was hired by the dock manager to prepare the refloating operation, with the Urania to be kept stable on the dock floor in the position she originally fell in. To assist in this task he obtained the cooperation of Herbert Engineering, to develop a refloating sequence and the design of the stabilizing devices.
On September 15, 2016 the refloating operation was kicked off with HEE managing director Luca Letizia attending to monitor stability, trim, list and stresses with HECSalv and to suggest corrective actions should they be found advisable. The refloating operation was a complete success, with the dock safely floating about 12 hours after pumps were first started. The photo shows the assembled team for the refloating operation, including HEC's Luca Letizia. A video showing the full operation can be found here.

LUCY!!! Once again, that zany, crazy redhead is back
on DVD in the third season release of I LOVE LUCY. You
can enjoy the entire Emmy-winning third season on five
DVDs. Classic scenes from the third season include
Lucy and Ethel ripping apart each other's dresses to
shreds during their televised duet of Cole Porter's
"Friendship." And you can never forget watching Lucy
have to go 24 hours without telling a lie to watching
her quest to recover a contest-winning dollar bill to
Lucy and Ethel's unforgettable TV commercial for "Aunt
Martha's Old-Fashioned Salad Dressing." Included on
this set are all 31 original season three episodes
with loads of special features, ranging from flubs,
lost scenes, script excerpts, to five complete
episodes of Lucy's radio show: MY FAVORITE HUSBAND.
Memorable Episodes / Notable Guest Stars:
The third season, like nearly all seasons of I LOVE
LUCY contain quite a few memorable episodes, and they
include "The Girls Go Into Business," "Lucy Tells The
Truth," "The French Revue," "Redecorating the Mertzes'
Apartment," "Too Many Crooks," "Changing the Boys'
Wardrobe," "Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined," "Fan Magazine
Interview," "Oil Wells," "Bonus Bucks," "Lucy Writes a
Novel," "Lucy's Club Dance," "Tennessee Ernie Visits,"
"Lucy is Envious," and "The Golf Game." The more
memorable guest appearances in the third season
include Tennessee Ernie Ford and golf pro Jimmy
The packaging for this set follows the same design as
season one but it's blue in color. Inside the box,
there are five individual cases, one for each disc.
Each case has a spliced shot of Lucy from one of the
episodes from that disc. On the discs they are spliced
screenshots from one of the more memorable episodes on
that disc. On the back of each case, there is a list
of each episode that is included on that disc (inside
the case are episode descriptions). The descriptions
themselves are a couple of sentences and include the
episode title, the original airdate and the production
number. The episodes are presented in original
production number order instead of the airdate order.
There are five discs in the set, each one in its own
individual case. There are six episodes per disc, but
the first disc contains seven episodes.
Menu Design and Navigation:
The menu screen is simple and is exactly the same format as
seasons 1 and 2. It features a spliced shot of Lucy
from one of her memorable scenes (Harpo Marx for the
main menu, or the chocolate factory on the bonus
features menu) on a red background that has
screenshots from various episodes of the series. The
main menu has a list of the episodes that take you to
scene selections and it has the opening theme song
playing in the background, although it doesn't loop.
It has the popular "Play All" feature as well as
"Setup". The bonus menu is the same design as the main
menu and lists all the bonuses for that disc. The
"Setup" menu allows you to choose if you want Spanish
subtitles or a Spanish language track.
Video and Audio Quality:
The video is very good, but the audio needs work. The
picture is crystal clear but the audio is still very,
very low, which is common for releases of older
series. The audio is presented in Dolby Surround
Sound. Each episode runs about 26 minutes, which means
you get almost four-five minutes of extra footage you
can't see in syndication.
Special Features:
Special Features on all of the five discs, which are
explained in more detail further down, include
"Special Footage." Guest Cast Information is the list
of the special guests that are featured on the
episodes on that disc. "Original Opening" is the
original animated opening that was originally aired
along with the episodes on each disc. Now on to the
special features -- hang on folks, this is a long
DISC ONE - The first "Flub" is from the episode "Lucy
Tells the Truth" in which you see a moth fly directly
in front of Vivian Vance's face; the next flub is
about the sudden switch of the number of Ricky and
Lucy's apartment. In the episode "Ricky and Fred Are
TV Fans" it is 3B but in "Lucy Tells the Truth" it is
3D. The writers changed the number to make a joke
work, hoping viewers wouldn't notice; In the final
flub on this disc is from the episode "Ricky's 'Life'
Story" in which a prop man pasted together the
magazine started with an article about a face type but
left in the subtitle that Ricky is a pleasing and
graceful type." Special Footage - The special footage
on Disc One is the 3rd season promo. CBS aired this
promotional spot on the evening of September 28, 1953,
exactly one week before I LOVE LUCY returned for its
third season. In "Lucy on the Radio" bonus, we have
the episode "Liz Appears on Television" from MY
FAVORITE HUSBAND and it was originally broadcast on
April 23, 1950 and inspired the I LOVE LUCY episode
"Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress." The first
production note explains how in the episode "Lucy
Tells the Truth" a scene was written that featured
Ricky learning he will be audited by the IRS. Desi
Arnaz didn't like the scene for various reasons and so
the writers came up with the scene you see today of
knives being thrown at Lucy. You can also read the
original script scene of the IRS audit. Although in my
opinion, it was hit or miss. Some of the jokes from
Ethel and Fred were good, but I had to agree with
Desi, the scene wasn't the greatest for the character
of Ricky although in actuality, it fit better with the
theme of the episode, it was better to cut it. The
next production note is from "Equal Rights" when Lucy
blew up the paper bag and punches it to make the sound
of a gunshot. Although it lasted just a minute, Lucy
wanted to perfect it. And finally, the Behind the
Scenes featurette is yet another audio excerpt from
Jess Oppenheimer's book "Laughs, Luck... and Lucy."
DISC TWO - In the first of four "Flubs" it comes from
"Redecorating the Mertzes' Apartment". Lucy flubs a
line about painting and reupholstering the old
furniture but Desi's clever ad-lib saved the scene.
The next one, also from "Redecorating the Mertzes'
Apartment" is the final scene from the episode set a
"few days" after all the feathers, etc. had been
cleaned up, but you can clearly see one lone feather
floating through the scene. The third flub is from the
final scene of the episode "Lucy Has Here Eyes
Examined" and features Desi/Ricky's struggle with
pronunciation. Much of it was added to the scripts but
Desi's struggle to say "homecoming" wasn't part of the
script. The final flub is how Ethel's middle name
changes from Ethel Louise in "Lucy and Ethel Buy the
Same Dress" to Ethel Roberta in "The Million Dollar
Idea." In the first of three "Special Footage" scenes
is the "Jingle Bells" Tag scene, seen at the end of
CBS's original airings of "Ricky's Old Girlfriend,"
(which aired 12/21/53) but was originally seen at the
end of "Drafted" on 12/24/51, and repeated on 12/22/52
at the end of "Lucy's Show Biz Swan Song." The second
is a restored opening sequence. In "Changing the Boys'
Wardrobe" it originally opened without music. CBS
later added music to the show making it appear that
Ricky is raising his voice to be heard above the
orchestra! But the DVD edition restores it to how it
originally was. The last one is lost footage from the
episode "Ricky's Old Girlfriend". When CBS edited the
episode for syndication, they inadvertently eliminated
Lucy's, Fred's, and Ethel's dialogue as Lucy offered
the Mertzes coffee at the start of the show. For this
special DVD edition, they've restored the missing
lines using a rare 16mm print of the episode. In the
second "Lucy on the Radio" bonus, we have the episode
"Husbands are Sloppy Dressers" from MY FAVORITE
HUSBAND and it was originally broadcast on September
2, 1950 and inspired the I LOVE LUCY episode "Changing
the Boys' Wardrobe." The "Production Note(s)" is from
"Too Many Crooks". The LUCY writers originally
conceived a different closing scene in which Madame X
made a clean getaway but during rehearsals, the ending
was abandoned. Here you can see the original script.
The second explained that the many references to the
magazine "Better Homes and Gardens" in "Redecorating
the Mertzes' Apartment" wasn't due to product
placement but due to the fact the writers felt they
owed it to the magazine after the joke they did in
"Men Are Messy". The next one explains that in
"Ricky's Old Girl Friend" how the list of Lucy's many
"boyfriends" are really just names of the production
DISC THREE - The first of two "Flubs" explains how
Lucille Ball always pronounced Tomato's "Tomahto" but
she used the other way while playing Lucy Ricardo, but
in the episode "Ricky Loses His Temper" Lucille
slipped and used her pronunciation instead of Lucy's.
The second one is from the episode "Ricky Minds the
Baby". It was the final scene and Lucy walks out of
Ethel's apartment wearing a pair of sling back shoes,
takes a few steps down the hall and enters her own
apartment suddenly wearing ankle strap shoes! In the
first of four Special Footage segments, you can see a
promotional message from Lucy and Desi filmed on the
set of their then-upcoming movie THE LONG LONG TRAILER
that aired at the end of "Oil Wells" on 2/15/54. The
second one is how the DVD edition restored lost music
from the episode "Fan Magazine Interview" that CBS
replaced with their own tune. The third one from the
2/1/54 episode "Sentimental Anniversary" and features
a special pitch from Lucy and Desi for the March of
Dimes instead of their usual Phillip Morris plug. The
last one is from "Ricky Minds the Baby" and explains
how the folks who dubbed LUCY into Spanish in the 50s
had no separate dialogue track so they had to recreate
it from scratch and gives an example here. In the
third "Lucy on the Radio" bonus, we have the episode
"The French Lesson" from MY FAVORITE HUSBAND and it
was originally broadcast on December 9, 1949 and
inspired two I LOVE LUCY episodes "The Adagio" and
"The French Revue."
DISC FOUR - The first of three "Flubs" explains a
scene in the episode "Bonus Bucks." Desilu's prop man
made sure that the crowbar mounted on the wall of the
laundry plant was easily removable. But as Ricky
entered the room, the crowbar fell to the floor,
forcing actress Patsy Moran to search for it later in
the scene. In the second flub (from "Lucy is Envious")
it explains how Lucille Ball spent hours handling
props to make sure the scene went just right, but the
scene shows how Ball met her match in just a little
cloth napkin. In the final flub, it's from the radio
show MY FAVORITE HUSBAND and how guest actor Frank
Nelson blew an "important" line so badly that director
Jess Oppenheimer called for a retake - and another -
and another. The first of four "special footage(s)"
the first one explains how throughout the month of
March 1954, Lucy and Desi ended each episode with the
same plug for their new movie THE LONG, LONG TRAILER.
In the second selection of special footage it explains
how At the beginning of the original network broadcast
of "Lucy's Club Dance" on 4/12/54, Desi stepped out
from behind the curtain to introduce the show, as well
as the sponsors brand new "snap-open" packaging. In
the third selection it explains how on the March 24,
1954 CBS rebroadcast of "Lucy Does a TV Commercial"
with an introduction by announcer Roy Rowan who refers
to the series by it's 1950s nickname - the "Lucy
Show", not to be confused with Lucy's 1960's TV
series. In the last selection, we have a lost scene
from the episode "Lucy's Club Dance." On December 26,
1955, as the Ricardos were preparing for their
European trip, CBS rebroadcast "Lucy's Club Dance" and
to maintain storyline continuity, the cast filmed this
new "flashback" opening, and it's seen here for the
first time since its original 1955 airing! In the
fourth "Lucy on the Radio" bonus, we have the episode
"Trying to Cash the Prize Check" from MY FAVORITE
HUSBAND and it was originally broadcast on December 9,
1950 and featured guest-stars Sandra Gould, Frank
Nelson and others. Also included are more production
DISC FIVE - The first of two "Flubs" explains a scene
from "The Sublease" and if you watch it closely you
can see that the window shade pull swings THROUGH the
windowpane! In the final flub, it explains that one of
the reasons I LOVE LUCY remains so fresh is that
you're seeing a truly "live" performance, filmed
straight through, like a play. Second takes were
extremely rare, even when the actors made minor
dialogue mistakes and give an example of this in a
scene from "The Sublease." The first of three
selections of "Special Footage" on this disc explains
how CBS's original broadcast of "Changing the Boys'
Wardrobe" ended with this special Christmas message
from Lucy and Desi, unseen since it's original
broadcast on December 7, 1953. The second selection
brings us a lost animation. It explains that these
animated sequences were used as transitions to the
closing commercial on a number of episodes during I
LOVE LUCY's third season. The final selection of
special footage is I LOVE LUCY's original closing
credits, which featured images of Philip Morris
cigarette packs. In the fifth "Lucy on the Radio"
bonus, we have the episode "Hobbies" from MY FAVORITE
HUSBAND and it was originally broadcast on April 9,
1950 and inspired the I LOVE LUCY episode "The Golf
Game." Also, more production notes. And finally, a
slide show of pictures of scenes from the third season
of I LOVE LUCY.
Final Comments:
In conclusion, this set was another fantastic release
from Paramount. They really go all out with I LOVE
LUCY. The special features are amazing because you can
see footage that hasn't been seen in over fifty years!
Overall, there really is nothing I would change about
these releases and I encourage Paramount to continue
doing what they are to bring us all of these amazing
treasures. Expect Season 4 in May and season 5 a few
months after that. As a life-long Lucy fan, I'm
thrilled to own this great set and you will be too!
Final Numbers (out of 5 stars):
Video Quality: 4.5/5
Audio Quality: 4/5
Special Features: 5/5
Menu Design/Navigation: 4/5
Overall: 4.5/5

"Worlds Greatest Dad is anything but great" – Future Pitchfork Review
Formed in 2014 during a manic phase as an attempt to cope, worlds greatest dad shows and tells you how it feels to have major depressive disorder. Maddie Duncan (Vocals/Guitar) gets deep in her head and takes you along on her emotional self-discovery and exploration of personal feelings. Through what can be described as emotive indie rock, Duncan uses her lyrics to walk you through her self-diagnosis, relentless efforts to cope, and eventual repetition of the clinical cycle. Their upbeat songs radiate fake happiness as a mask for the persistent feeling of sadness.
The band's upcoming full-length features danceable pop rock radio hits - if the radio was playing in the waiting room of a psychiatrist's office.

Simon Byrne "The Emerald Gem" and "Champion of Ireland" fought Sandy McKay "The Champion of Scotland" in 1830.
McKay died from a punch to the throat:
The result of the fight attracted wide publicity and led to rioting in the streets of McKay's homeland. In Dundee, three people died and 200 were injured in the fracas. In Glasgow, four people died, and the Dragoons were called out to quell rioting after a Roman Catholic church was burned and looted, (as an Irishman the mob would have assumed Byrne to be a Roman Catholic). Byrne was arrested three days later aboard the ferry to Ireland as he tried to leave the country. He was returned in chains to Buckinghamshire and incarcerated in Buckingham Gaol to await his trial, and the prospect of the gallows.

The Coach House Café, as its name suggests, is an old coach house turned café in the Victorian Conservation Village of Tomich in the Highlands of Scotland. We happened upon this quaint little village out of luck as we passed through when going to see Plodda Falls.
The village was created by the Tweedmouth family, who built a large manor house (now in a ruined stated), and was to serve the Guisachan Estate. The estate covered around 1600 acres and much of the forna and flowers that were planted by the estate still remain.

This January the Maurice Einhardt Neu gallery on Redchurch Street, London is home to an exhibition by Dai Jobu. 'Jan.21,2010' is Jobu's re-imagining of the classic Pirelli calendar where glamour photography and fashion nudes are blended together to make this artistically interpreted garage calendar.
Jobu lists his interests as life, girls, motorbikes, art, fashion and music- in any and all combinations, there was even a motorbike in the already overcrowded gallery space, displaying Jobu's other project of Street Tracker bike customization. As we sipped hot cider and mingled among huge prints of the calendar, another of Jobu's interests and talents was on display, as the band he manages, PLAYBAND gave a performance to celebrate the launch.

Located inland to the east of Old Tampa Bay, near the Alafia River and Lithia Springs, is the community of FishHawk Ranch. With only just over 14,000 residents, it is a newer community comprised of several subdivisions and makes an ideal place to raise a family. Most homes in the area are newer or recently built construction, often offering a variety of amenities.
Public schools serving the community of FishHawk include Bevis Elementary , FishHawk Creek Elementary, Stowers Elementary, Barrington Middle, Randall Middle, and Newsome High. Private schools in the area include Academy of the Holy Names, Foundation Christian Academy, Nativity Catholic School, Bell Shoals Baptist Academy, St. Stephen Catholic School, Valrico Lake Advantage Academy, and Berkeley Preparatory.

FishHawk Ranch Real Estate

Because the community of FishHawk is relatively new, there are plenty of options from which to choose for first time home buyers, those looking to relocate, or even people looking for a season residence to escape the cold of the northeast and midwest during the harsh winters.
Single family homes have a median price of just over $385,000, while townhouses, condo units, and villas have a median price of nearly $120,200. However, the median house and condo unit value stands at approximately $234,100. Coupled with low property taxes and wonderful amenities, this makes this community a great place to call home.

Things to See and Do

Because of its location and the idyllic weather, which brings warm summers and super-mild winters, along with very pleasant spring and fall seasons, there is plenty to see and do in and around FishHawk Ranch. Recreational parks in the area include such wonderful retreats such as Alafia River State Park, Lithia Springs Regional Park, and Boyette Springs Park.
For golfers who like to enjoy the beauty and challenge of being on the links, there are plenty of options, such as Walden Lake Golf and Country Club, Bay Palms Golf Complex, Summerfield Crossings Golf Club, Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, and Diamond Hill Golf and Country Club.
Shopping is a snap at the following venues: Westfield Brandon, Centro Ybor, Lake Brandon Village, Hyde Park Village, International Plaza and Bay Street, Bloomingdale Square, and Goolsby Pointe Shopping Center.
Other pleasures include boating in nearby Tampa Bay, taking a short drive to enjoy the beaches, hiking, biking, exploring nature, and making an escape to popular destinations nearby. There is also a lot of choice when it comes to dining, live entertainment, and nightlife.
