Music to Your EarsReggae Under the Stars ... with Nachos—Local reggae collective One Foundation/Mystic Vision is taking their message-heavy music to an unlikely venue this weekend: El Pinto (10500 Fourth Street). It's the first I've heard of a traditional New Mexican restaurant hosting anything but mariachis, but why not? It's got that beautiful North Valley patio, which Mystic Vision says they'll happily take advantage of. The group will be filming the performance for a DVD they're putting together. Show starts around 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 25. I'm not aware of any cover charge, but you should probably order something to make the owners happy.

WEST VIRGINIA 82, OU 63 – Christal Caldwell scored 24 points to lead West Virginia past No. 21 Oklahoma Sunday at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, W. Va.
Oklahoma opened the game taking an 11-point lead, before Joanna McFarland, who totaled her fifth double-double in conference play, collected a second personal foul halfway through the first period. West Virginia finished the half with a 23-9 run as Oklahoma missed eight consecutive field goals during the span.
McFarland had 14 points and matched a career-high 16 rebounds, but played only 27 minutes due to foul trouble in both halves.
Two free throws by Caldwell closed OU's first-half lead to 18-11 with 11 minutes remaining and McFarland fouled Crystal Leary on a rebound the next trip down the court.
Only Morgan Hook would score for the Sooners as OU missed 11 of its next 14 field goals to let the Mountaineers take the a 34-27 halftime advantage.
Hook also had 14 points with 10 coming in the paint as the Sooners were stalled beyond the arc all afternoon.
Oklahoma hit only five of 22 3-point attempts, nearly four shy of its average.
WVU's lead was cut to single digits with 11 minutes left in the second half. But a fourth foul on McFarland sent Oklahoma's most impactful player to the bench once more and the Sooners could not recover.
TULSA 78, SOUTHERN MISS 56 – A balanced attack and hot shooting by the Golden Hurricane propelled the Tulsa women's basketball team to a win over Southern Miss on Sunday at the Reed Green Coliseum.
Tulsa improved to 8-13 on the season and 3-5 in Conference USA, while Southern Miss fell to 12-9 and 4-4 in C-USA play.
Tulsa shot 52.5 percent from the field, including 40 percent from beyond the arc.
"It makes a difference when you make shots," said Tulsa coach Matilda Mossman. "We go from shooting 13 percent in the first half at UTEP (on Thursday night) and being down one to shooting 52 percent tonight and winning by 22. Making shots makes all the difference in the world. I'm proud of our players getting five players in double figures. I was happy we were able to play everyone, and it was a solid team victory."
Leading the Hurricane charge was Taleya Mayberry, who had 17 points and five rebounds. Mayberry tied Larrissa Williams for second place on TU's all-time scoring list with 1,512 points.
Kelsee Grovey added 16 points and four assists. Ashley Clark recorded a career high 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field, while Kadan Brady tallied 10 points, all coming in the first half. Mariah Turner also had 10 points on the afternoon on 5-of-8 shooting.
Tiffani Couisnard recorded 10 rebounds while Loren McDaniel added nine boards as Tulsa outrebounded Southern Miss 42-34. The Hurricane scored 32 points in the paint, and tallied 25 points off the bench.
Southern Miss was led by Ance Celmina, who had a double-double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.
MISS. ST. 47, ARKANSAS 44 – Quistelle Williams scored 16 points and had 14 rebounds but it was not enough as the University of Arkansas women's basketball team fell at Mississippi State, 47-44, in Southeastern Conference action in Starkville, Miss., on Sunday.
Arkansas (15-7, 3-6 SEC) rallied back from a 10-point halftime deficit to tie the game at 33 at the 10:30 mark when Dominique Wilson hit a five-foot floater making it 33-all. Arkansas started the second half 6-for-6 and put together a 15-7 run to climb back into the game. State (10-12, 2-7 SEC) lead by as many as 13 in the first half but the Razorback defense answered the call and forced some miscues by the Bulldogs as Arkansas' shots began to fall.
Williams had a slow start to the game but rallied in the second half leading all scorers with 16 points. It was her sixth double-double of her career.
As the game see-sawed back and forth in the late minutes of the game, neither team was able to step up and take control of the contest.
Tied a 42 with 3:27 to go in the game, Mississippi State pulled ahead after an Arkansas foul sent them to the line. Katia May hit both bonus shots letting MSU pull ahead, 44-42. The Bulldogs hit a jumper in the paint stretching the lead to four with just over two minutes to play.
Arkansas answered with a long jumper from Williams closing within two points. The Razorbacks got a turnover from Mississippi State and charged down the floor for a last-second opportunity.
The Razorbacks got the look they wanted but the shot didn't fall as time ran out.
"It's a tough loss on the road," Arkansas coach Tom Collen said. "We were not able to take advantage of our opportunities and we let this one slip away."
Senior Sarah Watkins battled foul trouble and finished with 15 points in 21 minutes while Wilson added eight points and seven rebounds for Arkansas.
For the game, Arkansas shot 32.1 percent on 17-for-53 from the floor. The Razorbacks out-rebounded MSU, 43-35, but 20 Arkansas turnovers contributed to Sunday's loss.

The IBX Vault – A Major Data Center Expansion
By Jon Greaves on Feb 21, 2012.
A wise man once told me, "All great partnerships have one thing in common; that is that both parties gain value from the partnership." To me, this seems pretty obvious, but today in the IT space you see many partnerships of convenience which really just involve product placement or other more one-sided options. That's part of the reason I'm so excited about the news we announced today with one of our top partners, Equinix.
Today, we announced a very special (dare I say unique?) data center that we are building with Equinix and Digital Realty. The building is adjacent to our current "Vault" data center located in Dulles, Va. and is 64,000 square feet, built to tier3 standards. We're calling it the IBX Vault.
SSAE16, or maybe not…?
By Jon Greaves on Feb 03, 2012.
As we were finalizing our own compliance reports this past period, I watched with interest as many hosting companies and auditors rushed to issue or claim they had SSAE16-SOC2. What's wrong with a SSAE16-SOC2? Well, for starters, it doesn't exist. In layman's terms, SSAE16 comes in a couple of flavors, but was designed much like the original SAS70 to show controls in support of financial audits and not designed at all for data center operations.

You watch all of your games on television. Forgive me if your opinion on sightlines doesn't really count.
For those of us that spent a little bit of money on PSL's, the view is much better than the crap we had at Giants Stadium. That was the biggest win of all for Jets fans. Finally, the ability to get a great seat if you had the money to license it. $13 a game. Chump change. Thank you god.
Getting in and out of MetLife Stadium is far superior than it was at Giants Stadium. They rebuilt all the roads, all the access ramps, and added a friggin' train station.
There's nothing stopping you from taking a flatscreen TV to Flushing, sitting on the end of a LaGuardia Airport runway, and watching Jets games. Go for it. Make yourself happy for once.

G'day everbybody, Derek here (your friendly MichaelWSmith.com Admin),
Wanted to write a blog about the last couple days and getting out on the road with Smitty, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it should be written about the guys who work so hard everyday of the tour.
First, not sure how many of you know that I work for Smitty part time, so when I get an opportunity to hit the road I only get a small taste of what these roadie guys do every day of these tours. I've done the day in and day out stuff before, but nothing is like working in the venues/churches that these tours go on in.
You have to remember that most of the behind the scenes guys (and gals) have families that are back at home. They 're taking time away from their families to help put on a show that you get to experience for only a few hours on a given night. For these guys it's their livelihoods, yes - it's what they "signed-up for," but that doesn't make it any easier. They're missing Halloween with their kids, 2 guys are missing their kids birthdays today, anniversaries, you get the idea.
My job today is to try and paint the picture for these gents who are definitely the hardest working people I've ever been around. Let's go to the beginning:
Bus Call Is on Wednesday @ 6 p.m. in Franklin, TN: Everybody meets at a local parking lot usually with their families dropping them off. There are the customary goodbye's, "be safe's" and hugs.
The Bus then begins what is really akin to a Submarine ride to Salisbury, MD: It's a little more than 900 miles so you hope for good weather, no traffic, and smooth driving.
Once on the bus we do get to hang out, talk, and catch up on each others lives, Smitty's crew is pretty awesome and everyone gets along so it certainly makes the trip more bearable. (generally 10 to 11 workers and 1 bus driver per bus). This tour has 3 buses, so you do the math.
When it's time for bed you climb into a stack of beds that is in the middle of the bus. There are 4 stacks of 3, all fairly tight, but I can't lie, they're not all that uncomfortable. There are rules though, you sleep with your feet to the front just in case the driver needs to make a quick stop, you don't want to hit your head or jam your neck.
We arrive at the venue in Salisbury @ 10:30 (about 2 hours later than we would have liked) and set-up begins with haste. The truck (full tractor trailer of equipment has arrived first, and has already begun "dumping" equipment with the help of another challenge. Everyday your tour crew meets 15 to 20 local crew members/workers who all have varying degree of abilities - there's little time but your production managers have to figure out how to motivate/direct, a chorus of people to get everything built and done that needs to be completed by a 2 p.m. soundcheck with 100 local choir members. Set-up takes everybit of that time, non-stop, you eat, drink, and get no rest. In Salisbury on this day it's actually nice because you have a blank stage (the next day we're at Liberty University and having to work around Christmas concert/pageant sets, so the show is going to be "different" - which is not easy when you're dealing with the equipment we have here).
At 2:00 p.m. Smitty and the band arrive and the crew immediately sets the stage for the second half of their day which is running the show and refining the lighting, sound, and staging to be JUST right for the show. Michael arrives to rehearse with the local choir at that time and works with the directors to ensure that everything is set, along with planning the moving of the choir onto the stage at exactly the right time, making sure they know their visual, audible cues. etc. This takes about 2 more hours of work.
By 4:00 p.m. the "opener" artists are working on-stage and the crew is working to get them set-up for today's show, instruments ready and everything ready to go.
Finally by 5:30 p.m. it's time for some dinner. The crew all comes in as they finish their prospective jobs and grab a quick bite, then get back to their stations, because doors to the venue open @ 6:00 p.m. (which means the merch guys have to be 100% ready for that, their show starts @ 6:00 p.m. not @ 7:00).
By 6:55 p.m. it's time for the pre-show music to begin and at 7:00 p.m. Matt Maher, Phil Stacey, and Meredith Andrews hit the stage to get this thing started. They finish their set at about 8:00 p.m.; then the crew sets in motion rebuilding the staging for Michael. This takes about 15 minutes.
Michael hits the stage at about 8:15 p.m. and keeps it going until about 10:00 p.m. on an average night. (Oh by the way, Smitty also enjoys having "Wild" ideas and changing the set list about 30 minutes prior to show time which means, lights have to be reworked, staging considered... luckily the guys are used to this as it happens so often that it's truly no longer that "WILD".
OK, so 10:00 hits the final encore is done and Smitty and the band are back on their bus and heading to the next city by 10:30 p.m. At this time the crew starts tearing everything down, getting it repacked and getting the truck loaded safely to make the trip to the next stop.
Tearing down goes much faster than setting up, but it still takes about 2 to 2.5 hours, so the truck is loaded and ready to go to the next show by 12:30 a.m. That's when all the crew gets back on the bus and heads to the next city. Usually everybody's too awake to go directly to bed, but usually everybody's asleep by 1:30 or 2:00 a.m. It all starts all over again @ 8:00 a.m. (TODAY in Lynchburg, VA; Liberty University).
Tonight we'll drive to Reading, PA; then on Sunday we're in Lowell, MA (then a 1,200 mile drive back to Nashville). It's kind of like the movie Ground Hog Day with different walls, different people, and new issues... but it's the same result. A 3 hour show every night that fans get to enjoy - that's the goal. And nightly these guys reach that goal.
This blog doesn't do them justice at all. There are a lot of people that work hard in this world and make sacrificises for their families, but you'll be hard pressed to find people other than the Military who work harder. I'm humbled to be able to simply come in and watch this happen, it really is pretty amazing.
Next time you're backstage at a concert take a moment and say "Thank You" to a crew member you see backstage, they'll appreciate it, even if the only response they may be able to muster is a grunt.
See you in Lowell I can't wait! Thanks to you and the crew for all the hard work. We truly do appreciate it!
I was very privilaged to work a booth for Smitty back in the 80s...I volunteered for New Sound concerts at Gordon College. I would love to help you guys out if you need an extra hand if you are ever in the Boston area. I love to help out where I can. Have been very blessed by Michael's songs for a few decades now...they just keep getting better and better. As a matter of fact I am very grateful for his song "I'm waiting for you" I think from the "I'll lead you home" album. His songs move me to tears a lot...so much of our heavenly Father's heart showing through. I also love to sing and pray his song "Lord have mercy". I want so much to see all His sons and daughters in Him and none lost. All the parts of His body functioning as one...fitly joined together.

Book Discussion: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. "History and fiction merge seamlessly in this luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening as seen through the eyes of the young woman who was the inspiration behind one of Vermeer's finest paintings." "With its striking sense of period detail - vividly evoking a distant place and time - Girl with a Pearl Earring tells the tale of a young girl on the brink of womanhood, whose life is transformed by her brief encounter with genius ... even as she herself is immortalized on canvas."--BOOK JACKET.

Yeah, Lil Reese might have had a little weed in his pocket.
"So what?" the Def Jam rapper allegedly told Chicago police just before his latest arrest this weekend.
"There's serious crime out there," he said, according to court records. "This ain't a big deal. I'm gangster."
But it was enough to drag the 20-year-old Washington Park man back into bond court for the third time in three months Sunday. Lil Reese, whose real name is Tavares Taylor, was charged this time with drug possession and violating the conditions of his bail bond.
Police said they caught him with a plastic sandwich bag filled with crushed green plant material and $2,090 cash Saturday in the 6400 block of South Eggleston. They said he was standing with other known members of the Lamron faction of the Black Disciples street gang when he noticed the police and tried to walk into a gangway.
The rapper confronted the officers about the significance of the drugs when they caught up with him. A police canine later confirmed the cash smelled like narcotics, court records show.
Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. set Lil Reese's bail at $10,000 Sunday. The last time the rapper saw the judge on June 23, Taylor was facing a charge of misdemeanor theft and Bourgeois set bail at $5,000.
Lil Reese was also picked up in Chicago on April 28 after Champaign police identified him as the alleged attacker in a 2012 videotaped beating of a Downstate woman.
Court records show he's pleaded not guilty in that case.

My favorite tie. I wear it until it's threadbear then replace it with the same exact tie.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rolly Superb tie - will add more colors to my collection
I have the navy / white version of this tie and couldn't be happier with it. Excellent look and beautiful fabric. It really looks great with a solid blue or gray suit. I'm going to purchase a couple more in different colors.
January 22, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by BobTheBookkeeper Very good tie
I've purchased two of these. Burgundy/gold and navy/gold. The ties are very nice and the gold thread on burgundy is the most beautiful I've ever seen. I wish the navy/"gold" used the exact same thread; however, it is much closer to yellow than gold. Nice tie, but gives up a bit in this area.

Rated 5 out of 5 Beautiful Tie - as seen in Transformers 2
I love this tie - I think it is even the same one as seen in Transformers 2, worn by the irritating politician. The tie has very vibrant colors.
January 12, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vicar Excellent
This is one beautiful tie! The colors are handsome and vibrant, and the material is of excellent quality. One of the great things about buying stuff from Brooks Brothers on line is that the quality is consistently good, and for those of us who like to have new things, but loathe shopping at stores, it doesn't get any better.

These mercerized Egyptian cotton sateen sheets are the most luxurious available because they have 1,500 threads per square inch for a noticeably smooth hand, an elegant drape, and a lustrous finish. The sheets are woven from 1,500 threads of the finest quality one-ply yarn from Egyptian cotton fibers, which are 30% longer than other cotton varieties, resulting in cloth that is more durable, more colorfast, smoother, and more comfortable. Sheet sets include a fitted sheet oversized to fit 19"-deep mattresses, two standard (Queen) or King pillowcases (King/California King) with double-pleated hems, and an oversized flat sheet with 4" solid-cap double-pleated hems. Duvet cover sets include a cover and two pillow shams. The sheets become softer with every machine washing. Imported. Specify Blue, Gold, Ivory, Sage, Taupe, or White.

here is my first Instructable, It's a beautiful Nixie Lantern clock, A little steam punk and a bit Victorian, made up of mostly of found components
I tend to communicate better when there is something to show so please look at the images and tags, they sometimes will hold more info than the body of text.
Here is a parts list....
-large slab of walnut 2" thick by 36" long and 12" wide
-large slab of maple 1.5" thick by 30" long and 12" wide, both found on eBay
-2" diameter clear acrylic tubing .125" wall about 12" long, any plastic store and eBay.
-an assortment of gears and gauge faces / bezels, knobs and metal bits,
- A nixie kit, I highly recommend a seller on ebay who goes under the name...petes_kits, here is a link... petes_kits, http://shop.ebay.com/petes_kits/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562
he has to my knowledge the only nixie prototypers board out there that gives the experimenter options of screw terminals, solder pads and designated nixie patterned mounts for leads, not to mention he always answers and is there to help you out.
-you will need some basic electronic skills
-a multimeter with a continuity function (prefer an audible function).
-3 Blue leds
-A mill and lathe for custom parts, machining skills are very helpful
-lots of brass and aluminum
-all sorts of hardware and locktite
-12 conductor 28AWG ribbon cable
-9VAC transformer, wall wart
-assortment of gears, shafts and collars
and finally... lots of imagination.....
Stunning!!!! Can I ask where you sourced the tubes from?
Thank you for the compliment, I first found the nixies on eBay, a guy named Pete sold them to me he expanded his business over time so now I get them from his site.
He is very helpful and always responds quickly to any issues, which is why I buy from him....
Let me know if there is anything else I can answer and thanks again
Jack E
i really donât like clutter or things that can gather dust but for the first time ever i actually grabbed my wallet instantly and didnât really care about the cost in the hope that you were selling these.
As your not I will have to make something myself. Do the tubes give off heat. I am thinking about pulling the housing off my pc screen and replacing it with something more steam punk. Nixie tube clock running down the side would look awesome.
Good luck...
What are nixies?
_ _ _ - - - ` ` ` ☺
1 2 3 456789 10
LEVEL: 11-TOO EPIC TO RATE!!! BZZT!!! *explodes*
A company has already approached me about this and I gave the same response,
I am very grateful for your appreciation...
I love the wood work as I have done much furniture building, but the brass work puts this over the top, thank you so much for posting this, my poor old NIXIE clock will never be the same, in a some what grumbling tone, thanks for raising the bar so high, off he goes pondering the quality of his next project.....

Will Obama's Brennan Pick Shed Some Much Needed Light on Drones?
The president and his subordinates acting alone are likely to produce worse security policies than two branches that have to debate and compromise.
Benjamin H. Friedman is a Research Fellow in Defense and Homeland Security Studies at the Cato Institute in Washington, DC.
Question: Which of following imperils your chances of being confirmed by the U.S. Senate for a top national security post?
A. Stated belief in the existence of a pro-Israel lobby and in a distinction between U.S. and Israeli interests.
B. Alleged past support for coercive interrogation methods, like waterboarding, which can reasonably be called torture.
C. Sharp criticism of the conduct of the recent U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a preference to avoid starting another with Iran.
D. Leadership role in a global drone assassination program justified by what appears to be a claim of an unchecked presidential power to kill or detain any American in the name of counterterrorism.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on Afghanistan.]
Anyone likely to be nominated knows that the answer is A and C, that B is problematic but probably OK by now, and D is a feather in your cap. The comparative treatment of former senator Chuck Hagel and John Brennan, nominated Monday by the president for secretary of defense and director of the CIA, respectively, make this point, as Greg Sargent notes.
Brennan, the former CIA officer who is now the White House's chief counterterrorism adviser, was apparently up for the same nomination at the start of the Obama administration but reportedly withdrew because of trouble over his support, which he denies, for coercive interrogation. At the moment, he seems likely to cruise to nomination in the Senate, though Republicans may slow the vote to extract more information from the administration about its handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last September. Hagel, of course, faces much more trouble because of his positions on Israel, gays, military spending, Iraq, and Iran.
The Senate probably considers the torture issue water under the bridge. Senators seem even less likely to question Brennan's murky role in past government programs that were offensive to constitutional and statutory law, including the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program, authorized by George W. Bush's White House. Congress, after all, more or less legalized the program, immunized telecommunications companies for their role in it (with Brennan's support), and recently reauthorized the new statute.
[ Read the U.S. News Debate: Is John Brennan a Good Nominee for CIA Director?]
Still, with drone warfare becoming more controversial of late, the new Congress may rouse itself to provide some oversight, or even assert its power to limit it. If so, Brennan's nomination is a good place to start.
Brennan is a key architect of the review process that the Obama administration undertakes to decide who to kill via airstrike from unmanned aerial vehicles (drones)—in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and beyond. The White House assures us that they conduct such strikes only after solemn debate. But they show no interest in establishing any checks and balances to control strikes. The administration won't release documents explaining its legal position on the matter, so it's hard to characterize their views exactly. That said, their position seems to be that because Congress in 2001 authorized a war against the organizers of the 9/11 terrorist attack and those who aided them, the president can kill (or detain) anyone, anywhere, even U.S. citizens.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on defense spending.]
In one sense, that is narrower than the Bush administration's take, which was that presidents did not even need congressional authorization to kill and detain people. In another sense, Obama's take is more dangerous. Attorney General Eric Holder argues that executive branch deliberations can satisfy Americans' due process rights—that the judicial need not play a role. That's odd, because in a war, U.S. citizens on the enemy side are treated as combatants, so no constitutional rights protect them. The due process argument seems to take us out of the realm of war powers and imply that the president can simply decree that we should be jailed or executed. As the American Civil Liberties Union notes:
Few things are as dangerous to American liberty as the proposition that the government should be able to kill citizens anywhere in the world on the basis of legal standards and evidence that are never submitted to a court, either before or after the fact.
Senators could hold Brennan's nomination until the White House makes its legal rationale for drone strikes public. Senators might ask Brennan to explain his discredited 2011 claim that drone strikes in Pakistan caused no civilian deaths over the course of a year (we have since learned the administration categorizes all military-age men killed as combatants).
[ See 2012: The Year in Cartoons.]
The Senate could use the nomination to show that it means to reassert its war powers. If Congress is for bombing people in Yemen and Somalia, it should publicly debate and authorize action in those countries. The 2001 Authorization of Military Force should not be a warrant for presidents doing whatever they want in the name of counterterrorism.
The reason for using these powers is not just because the constitution grants them. Checks and balances both protect liberties and produce better policy. The president—or any one person—and his subordinates acting alone are likely to produce worse security policies than two branches that have to debate and compromise.

Google's scary Bram Stoker doodle
I'm not feeling lucky. I'm feeling scared.
For Google has chosen November 8 to celebrate Dracula's daddy, Bram Stoker.
Yes, the latest doodle is an especially creepy tribute to Stoker's legacy -- which, some might say, has brought us to the apogee represented by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
Stoker was actually Irish and was a theater critic before he sank his teeth into novels.
He began to write while he was the director of the Lyceum Theatre in London. His conception of Dracula was written as a series of made-up diary entries, newspaper clippings, and … Read more

as always got to me supper fast. and was just what you would expect, only giving four stars, because a monkey could have told me the same thing this manual did, as the problem I was trying to fix was that, when you turn the handle bars my engine revs, and so the obvious answer was my throttle cable was out of adjustment, or routed wrong da, that's all this said, no diagram for proper routing or anything. every thing else though is very throw through out.

Via Los That Sports Blog:
In the world of sports, if your name isn't attached to some sort of food or drink product, apparently you're not doing something right. We saw more evidence of this in 2012. Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto has a cereal. So does Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander. Add New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski to the list as well. Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch appeared on a special edition of Maker's Mark. Just to name a few.
Next up is NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., who will soon have his own line of potato chips, according to a release from Minnesota-based company KLN Family Brands.
KLN and Earnhardt formed Dale Jr. Foods, which will launch four flavors: Crispy Original, Carolina Barbecue, Creole & Green Onion, and Zesty Jalapeno.
The Barrel O'Fun snacks distribution area is predominately in the Midwest, however the Dale Jr. chips will be available nationwide. The bags will be sold in various sizes, including an 8 ounce grocery store version that has a suggested retail price of $3.79.
Earnhardt was voted NASCAR's most popular driver in 2012, for the tenth year in a row, so it's not much of a surprise that companies would want to be associated with him. And who doesn't like potato chips?
The 38-year old came in at No. 23 on Forbes' list of the World's Highest Paid Athletes ($28.2 million) last year and earned an estimated $15 million through endorsements.
Look for Dale's chips in stores next month and let us know how they are if you try any.

A bone density test determines if you have osteoporosis — a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break.
In the past, osteoporosis could be detected only after you broke a bone. By that time, however, your bones could be quite weak. A bone density test makes it possible to know your risk of breaking bones before the fact.
A bone density test uses X-rays to measure how many grams of calcium and other bone minerals are packed into a segment of bone. The bones that are most commonly tested are located in the spine, hip and forearm.

Helen Mirren's 'The Audience' to be broadcast
Friday - 2/22/2013, 8:50am  ET
AP Drama Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Can't get to London to see Helen Mirren play Queen Elizabeth II on stage? No problem -- Mirren will come to you.
National Theatre Live said Thursday it will broadcast a live performance of the West End world premiere of Peter Morgan's play "The Audience" on June 13.
The broadcast from the Gielgud Theatre in London to movie theaters will have varying dates internationally and encore screenings throughout the summer. Tickets go on sale March 1.
The play, directed by Stephen Daldry, imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the queen and various prime ministers in their weekly meetings. Mirren reprises the role of Queen Elizabeth II, for which she won the 2006 best actress Academy Award in "The Queen," also scripted by Morgan.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A line wrapped around West Virginia Power Box Office early Tuesday morning, as fans waited in anticipation of free playoff tickets.
Nikki Mirth, the box office manager, said 3,500 tickets had been given away as of Tuesday afternoon.
"We had a line before we even opened up to sell tickets," Mirth said. "We walked in and had a line down the street. We've had a steady line in and out all day."
The West Virginia Power began handing out free tickets at 9 a.m. Tuesday for its first postseason game today at 7:05 p.m. against the Hagerstown Suns.
The Power will meet the Hagerstown Suns in a best-of-three Divisional Championship Series starting at Appalachian Power Park today.
For the first time since 2008, the West Virginia Power, a Class-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, clinched a postseason berth in the South Atlantic League's postseason. The Power secured its spot in the postseason when Hickory was eliminated from contention with a loss to the Greensboro Grasshoppers.
"It's great," said Jo Finlayson, 29, of Charleston, who grabbed her tickets Tuesday afternoon.
"I've gone to a lot of games, and I'm looking forward to it," she said of the first playoff game.
LT Ferrell, a ticket assistant, worked the window Tuesday and fielded hundreds of fans' requests.
"I've been here since 9 a.m., and we've seen a ton," he said.
Ferrell said that since there isn't a limit on how many tickets a person can request, some are getting tickets for their whole families.
"One woman just got 25 tickets," he said.
Tom McLane, 48, of South Charleston, said he is a season ticket holder, but the promotion allowed him to get another ticket to bring more family.
"I've been going to games since I was 7," he said, noting he frequented the former Watt Powell Park baseball stadium.
"I'm very excited, and I hope we can bring a championship home. It'll mean a lot to season ticket holders," he said.
Mirth said box seats hold close to 4,000 people, and she doesn't plan on cutting ticket sales any time soon.

""This is my first shared holiday. Their dad and I are hammering out the details of that, which is weird. They're actually gonna be with him for Thanksgiving and I'm gonna be with some friends, and then I get to have them for Christmas.""

PES erase is the most popular, its pretty good too
PES erase is the most popular, its pretty good too
IBE/PHF Anabolic Trinity Epistane, Trenavar, and Ment - Available Now!
Great thank you guys, Any advice while taking it for the first time??
I would start with Erase at 1 cap a day. On the second week you could bump up to 2 caps a day. 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. If you don't get any joint discomfort you could bump up to 3 caps a day. Some get bad joint pain and others don't. If you do just up your fish oil dosage and look into cissus.
To be honest, formestane, erase, prohormones in general have givene zero joint pain so far but my protocol is expensive. Doctors best MSM, hyualaronic acid (sp?) Curcumin, bromelain and usplabs super cissus
Use something for joints
Erase Pro man, just get the best don't waste your time with the rest.
This. Start slow. I went too high and my joints took several days to recover. I've never found an effective joint product and I've blown some major coin trying joint products. So if u get pains, just take a day or two off so your estrogen levels can start to go up a little bit, then continue at the lower dose.
IBE/PHF Anabolic Trinity Epistane, Trenavar, and Ment - Available Now!
are you wanting to run this for 4 weeks or 8 weeks?
what are you wanting to accomplish with the use of an AI?
PES - Get Enhanced
The above is my own opinion and does not reflect the opinion of PES
I am looking to run an AI for four weeks. I am beginning to cut.
For cutting I personally recommend Erase
doing my own thang!
I personally prefer formestane. I'd go with Formasurge due to the added Resveratrol.
How did you guys feel after your cycle? Did you maintain your gains??

A case-ready meat tour
Wal-Mart made its commitment to case-ready three years ago embracing the labor savings of fresh meats prepared and packaged off premises with the promise of minimal in-store prep work by retailer personnel.
Does it deliver? Well maybe according to a 2001 study by Keymark Associates Marietta GA that concluded: "Case-ready cost savings? Maybe maybe not." Keymark principal Huston Keith says the economics of case-ready remain questionable: "Retailers find out that it doesn't eliminate labor."
Wal-Mart is a case in point. According to Supercenter meat manager Lauren Story the labor savings aren't as big as one might think—or as Wal-Mart may have hoped. The retailer doesn't allow boxes on the store floor he explains. As a result workers must unload the sealed trays of meat in the backroom onto carts wheel the carts to the case and stack the packages in the display.
The packaging for those case-ready products is not inexpensive. Keymark pegs costs at 30¢ to 80¢ more per pound for case-ready packaging compared to chubs or primal forms.
Arguably lean on cost savings case-ready fattens up on food safety including thorough USDA inspections and HACCP controls at processors' plants.
"There's still many compelling reasons why retailers want case-ready meat" says Keith. "It's not just the economics the issue of food safety continues to grow. Retailers feel that their liability is lessened by the use of case-ready products."
Fowl rules
In early 2003 a change in the Supercenter's warehouse switched the beef supplier to what was formerly IBP now owned by Tyson Foods Springdale AR.
Tyson supplies the Supercenter's case-ready pork and chicken. The largest section—a 12' facing four rows high—was dedicated to chicken. That allocation dovetails with a comprehensive in-store study conducted by Cryovac division Sealed Air Corp. (see chart opposite). One of the study's findings was that the poundage of chicken and turkey in case-ready packaging runs neck and neck at 84% and 86% respectively the highest of any species. Wal-Mart's Story points out that Tyson has gone to a fixed weight such as 26.4 oz net weight for its chicken packs rather than random weights as it had used before (see Tyson sidebar page 71). Crucial information such as a use-by or freeze-by date and pricing is printed by Tyson right on the package film. This eliminates an added label and gives the package a neat appearance.
"Retailers want unit pricing" observes Murphy "which drives exacting portion weights for meat packers." That's driven Tyson to dedicate one plant—and it is converting another—to fixed-weight packages. It's the first wave of a major new trend in case-ready packaging.
At a Cub Foods store in Chicago area rows of Hormel's Jennie-O Turkey Store brand were merchandised flat. With the two-toned green awning design printed on paperboard inserts and sealed in a clear film overwrap the tray-packs of ground turkey provide a premium look rarely seen in the meat case. According to Steven Frank Jennie-O vice president marketing retail division the brand's recent graphics improvements were done to "contemporize the products and maximize the appetite appeal."
"Turkey brands created a market for ground turkey and this type of packaging communicates 'fresh'" notes Keith pointing out that the prior packaging consisted of chub packs of frozen turkey that didn't sell very well.
Says one industry insider: "Retailers want to differentiate their package and their method of merchandising from their competitors." One example: Euro-inspired styling using clear trays molded of clarified polypropylene. Used by packers like Farmland Foods Kansas City MO for its sliced fresh pork the trays provide an added dimension to showcase the product since the back of the cut is now visible through the tray bottom.
Beefed up generically
While glitzy packaging always gets attention generic packaging may get the marketshare at least for beef. In contrast to the branding equity of chicken turkey and pork packaging and a corresponding wash of color-coded packaging the Supercenter's beef section has a distinctly generic yet highly appealing look. That's desirable for many cuts of case-ready beef Wal-Mart's Story points out. And it's key to the category's success here.
The modular sections devoted to cuts of beef are filled with functionally effective packaging. Supplied by the former IBP operations now owned by Tyson the packaging represents a change in suppliers made earlier this year Story says. Beige-colored trays offer sparse graphics via pressure-sensitive labels on clear film sealed along the flanges that provides a prominent view of the red meat. The high-oxygen beef packs sold at Wal-Mart are an 80/20 mix of carbon dioxide and oxygen and provide 11 days shelf life according to sources.
"Just about everyone knows that it's prepackaged but the perception with this kind of packaging is that it's fresh" says Story. "It's taken a lot of back and forth with our suppliers to raise the meat-cutting standards closer to how our butchers would have trimmed." High praise indeed from a former butcher.
A similar approach toward ground beef is found in Melrose Park IL-based Jewel-Osco stores—part of Albertson's the second-largest supermarket chain in the United States—which offer prepacked trays of case-ready ground beef. The displays are located near counters behind which meat cutters prepare and package fresh meat. Along with utilitarian branding via a pressure-sensitive label applied to the clear film the impression is that of freshly prepared on-site.
Where's the beef?
Now that pork chicken turkey and ground beef segments have moved significantly into case-ready packaging AMI's Murphy calls fresh beef the "final frontier of case-ready meat." Cryovac's study notes that beef dramatically trails all others species in case-ready packaging.
Consultant Keith can think of one reason against a national brand of case-ready beef. "It may alienate the retailer who has been marketing for years that his beef is better than the store down the street. Suddenly everyone has Excel- or Tyson-brand beef and it becomes a pricing game."
"The benefits of case-ready products are too dramatic to ignore" says Murphy. "Ultimately there's no reason why most retailers wouldn't adopt a case-ready program for beef under their own brand or a national marketer."
No matter how it all shakes out one thing is for sure: Packaging will continue to play a key role across the spectrum of case-ready meat packaging.
"Consumers appreciate upscale packaging" says Murphy "and case-ready packs offer greater security less leakage and a premium connotation to the product. Case-ready meat is absolutely a growth market."

Yahoo announced last week that it's resetting all user IDs that have been inactive over the last 12 months starting in July. The company … Read more
