Lightning fast at making a single smoothie, the Bella Rocket Blender 12-Piece Set is the one to choose if getting out of the house in a hurry is your top priority. Smoothies can be individualized for everyone as this blender comes with four cups (each in a different size). There are two blades, one for crushing ice and one for grinding herbs and spices. You won't want this model if you're a fan of frozen drinks though margaritas came out icy. We also found that tomato sauce left stains on the jar. Available in orange, purple, green, or red.

by Buck Pomerantz Exceptional performance, even at high volume Like it loud? Alpine designed their Type-R speakers for people who like to turn it up. They'll deliver big, dynamic sound with plenty of bass, and they'll handle lots of volume. They'll work great with your car stereo, but they really come into their own when you power them with an outboard amp. Fine-tuned for clarity and balance The Type-R SPR-60C component system features 6-3/4" multi-layer hybrid fiber woofers that deliver really strong bass response. Alpine's adapted the specially ridged surround, originally developed for their subs, to these speakers, so you get consistent, extended cone movement that pushes a lot of air. The silk tweeters produce smooth highs that bring out your music's detail and depth with no shrillness. Alpine mounts an EQ ring in front of the tweeters to help disperse the highs for a larger listening "sweet spot" in your ride. The tweeters mount separately so you can focus the sound better for your seating position. Smaller, stronger neodymium magnets Alpine uses powerful neodymium magnets which are much smaller than traditional magnets, so the SPR-60C's high-density polymer frames will fit into more places than most 6-3/4" woofers. External 2-way crossover networks control the high and low frequencies for seamless, clear sound — and they're 60% smaller than the old Type-R crossovers so they're easier to install. Type-R speakers have earned their reputation in the past as the masters of "crank it to the max," but Alpine has really kicked the performance factor of the latest models up a notch or two. Note: Alpine describes this model as a 6-1/2" speaker. Most manufacturers designate this same frame size as a 6-3/4" speaker. For simplicity's sake we list it as a 6-3/4" speaker. Priced per pair Note: Sorry, Crutchfield cannot ship Alpine products to Guam or Puerto Rico.

A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.
Alpine is always quality! Written By jrmcfrln, Montrose, CA on Monday, March 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've always used Alpine equipment in all of my vehicles, and have never been disappointed. These speakers produce incredible sound, and can handle a lot of power. Even with the volume turned way up, they sound is clear of distortion. Excellent speakers!!
Great speaker set, easy install Written By Karl S, West Bend, Wisconsin on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was a little reluctant to purchase speakers with remote tweeters, because I have never done install like this. However, I wanted premium fidelity and power-handling. Instructions were clear and easy -between instructions provided by Crutchfield and Alpine, and fidelity and power-handling did not disappoint! I am VERY satisfied with my purchase! Pros: Great fidelity and power handling. Easy install. Cons: None
Only Alpine holds it's own against big bad JL Audio Written By Ty, Denver, CO on Monday, October 20, 2014 Only Alpine can compete with JL being the heavy weight car audio companies for what like two decades straight now! Everything by JL is always a minimum of triple what Alpine's products retail for.. 300% is a big number and I have had a full aftermarket system installed in my first vehicle (back when Alpine or Pioneer decks were must haves and the only ones with built in amps) and I just had to purchase my sixth vehicle after I was hit by a drunk driver and had another car totaled and I've made sure every vehicle I've owned has had a full system even though I've had to replace everything 2-4 times and every piece of equipment I've ever purchased and owned has been an Alpine product besides two Diamond subwoofers and I also tried Infinity Reference and Kappa speakers which as good as those both are still don't hold a candle to the type R's. I can't speak for actual subwoofers but I'll tell you right now all I could salvage from my totaled Pathfinder was my Diamond sub in it's box with my 1000W alpine mono amp mounted to the back of the box and I'm in the process of ordering 4 more SPR 60C component speakers, the single din CDE-HD148BT deck with another KTP-445 (one of Alpine's great innovations) and another RUX-Knob. I fell in love with my Alpine system and I'm sad that I'm having to replace what I had besides getting a way cooler deck but music just isn't the same withoit my system and in my car I literally visualize and FEEL the musIc so thx to Alpine for pure beauty Pros: My system brings me back home to me and the music flows through me like a grounding and uplifting energy. I never get sick of it and I might as well be dead if I get too old to enjoy it.. Cons: The decks don't shoot laserbeams, I can't get the speakers to reverse gravity, the power pack doesn't turbocharged my engine, and the amps can't facilitate time travel.. What a joke cuz like can't JL do all that?
What u expect with a reputation of being the bass kings! Written By LeroyE, Owings Mills,MD on Sunday, August 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unbelievably amazing that all that bass comes from such a small unit! Pros: Perfect fit,unique styling,and unbelievable bass from such a compact little speaker.Good job Alpine! Cons: Which they would have come with adapters on them already so I wouldn't have to have soldered them.But other than that they're perfect.
Great frequency range and clean sound Written By NorCalBryan, Lakeport Ca on Monday, August 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound amazing! I am currently just running them off an alpine head unit and there is surprisingly no distortion at loud volumes! Clean highs from the silk domed tweeters, surprisingly deep mid bass from the poly fiber woofers. The small crossover size is very convenient. I attenuated the tweeters minus 1db with them and the highs are crisp and bright without any harshness. Can't wait to amp em up! Pros: Great sound, tiny crossover, stylish looks, affordable. Cons: Well, they aren't made by JL...
Good Not Great Written By Troy, AR on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Speakers are subjective but to me the Alpine type R have a smooth sound, good clarity, and a good amount of detail. Bass isn't deep but I like the mids. Vocals are brought out more with these than a lot of others I tried. The bass that the type Rs do play has that clean "pop" and isn't distorted. I listened to these amplified. An aftermarket head unit may be enough power but I'm not sure. Pros: Vocals easy to hear and "rich" Good Mids Smooth sound but clear and detailed Cons: For the price, I would try others before buying these. Many options in that price range. Bass- benefit from a sub even if you aren't wanting a lot of bass. This alone wouldn't deter me. Efficiency- may not be a good choice if playing w/o amp or w/ stock head unit.
great sound Written By Anonymous, Franksville, WI on Sunday, July 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love these speakers. A good investment for my Camry. Not just loud but clear.good midrange. Adjustable crossover really helps maximize sound quality. Pros: Great sound. Adjustable crossover smoother out tweeter response.great for stealth installation. Cons: None
Great components! Written By Matt, NJ on Saturday, April 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had never installed component speakers before but wanted to since my car had 4 speakers in the front and didn't want the lousy "tweeters" to cloud up an otherwise nice sound system. These speakers were real easy to install as long as you have a bit of an understanding with how your car's wired. The high frequency sounds sound really good with these speakers and since I'll be adding a sub, that was what was more iportant to me. Pros: The sound's very crisp and clear and the crossover's very easy to conceal in the installation. Cons: Instructions could be more clear. Also some guidelines for how to adjust the crossover would be nice.
Good option Written By Rick, Minneapolis on Monday, November 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The 6.5" woofers are excellent speakers. Not as impressed with the dash speakers, however as the tweeter sounds rather brittle (at least in my installation). Pros: Price. 6.5" component. Cons: Dash speakers and tweeters were disappointing.
Alpine SPR-60C Written By Anonymous, Newburgh IN on Thursday, October 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are well made and install was fairly easy for my first try at components. The adjustable tweeter helps with sound quality. Can't wait to hook them up to amp to see what they can do.
Alpine SPR-60C Written By Anonymous, Aiea HI on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Crisp sound with matched alpine amp Pros: Rich, undistorted sound with higher decibels.
Alpine SPR-60C Written By Todd, Stuart Fl on Saturday, September 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wanted to upgrade the speakers on my 07 Wrangler. Stock system. No amp. Didn't want to go overboard with a system. Troy was the tech who helped me with my purchase. Very impressed with the sound quality. Just saying way better is an understatement. Pros: Great value for the dollar, excellent sound. Cons: Tweeters are not an exact fit. But was told they wouldn't be, so no surprise. Would have been nice to just swap out.
Alpine Type R Written By Kyle, La crescent Minnesota on Monday, September 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are a great upgrade from factory speakers. Just got mine put in and they sound great. The sound quality is good and there is almost no distortion from the bass. If your looking for a good midrange pair of speakers these should be it. Pros: Slim to none bass distortion. Easy to install. Great sound quality. Cons: Haven't experienced anything bad with them yet.
Good Sound, Questionable connections Written By JCW, Phila, PA on Monday, July 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These share cabin space with a pair of Kicker KS components in the rear. These are in the front. I also have a stealthbox 13" subwoofer. All gear is hooked up to an Alpine PDXV9. The crossovers are indeed small - much smaller than others but seem to do the job OK. The tweeter response is set by moving a jumper to pins to match your taste. Access to the jumper is a clunky implementation and having to move a jumper is a bit ... well... odd. It seems Alpine was going for the minimalist approach at the expense of the units being user friendly. Perhaps the biggest issue is the wire connections. Rather than bare wire that can be soldered, Alpine has provided connectors from the tweeter to the speaker. Again, odd. The connectors in my case were a source of failure causing me to open the door card again to permanently join them by removing the connectors from the circuit. Regarding response, as long as you are not expecting audiophile performance, these are a very good speaker combination. They have good power handling. The bigger woofers provides decent bass and mid-range response. The silk tweeters are overly bright and needed to be toned down by setting the jumpers in the crossover to the lowest setting (to my taste.) That said, there is a warmness to silk that I prefer to all other materials - so that was a great feature at a reasonable price. As aftermarket speakers go, they are certainly an upgrade from stock. Pros: Decent sound, good power handling Cons: Connectors are terrible, clunky crossover implementation; jumpers used to set tweeter response.
Great Product Written By Barney, Atlanta, GA on Monday, May 20, 2013 Just replaced my stock speakers on my Nissan Altima 1999 cuz all four speakers were blown. Installed these babies in the front. I had to drill a hole in the door for the tweeters. Installed SPR-60 coaxials in the back. Let me say that it sounds amazing. Stock speakers sounded like garbage and these blew me away. I used Fatmatt to line the doors and am powering the babies with a PDX-F4. Alpine will never disappoint you. I got the 147BT, SPR-60c, and SPR-60 and all are great!! Pros: Great sound, crisp and clear Cons: Expensive
The Best Written By JoeS, Indiana on Thursday, April 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) the speakers sound awesome. They are so much better than the factory speakers.
Better then JL C5's Written By John, Charleston sc on Sunday, January 13, 2013 I have always been a jl and alpine fan. I have had c3's then c5's. They were nice. But not wow. I have an alpine pdx-f4 100x4 to power two of these components and two channels to a kenwood 12. I places raamat (way better and cheaper then dynomatt) and these speakers came alive. Any genre, they are game. The smaller crossovers, swivel design tweeters, and flexible surrounds make these stand out too. And for the price?! Great buy! Pros: Clean, sound great, hefty design Cons: None
Super component Written By Wade C, Westerly, RI on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 I've put together quite a few systems in the last few years. I've tried other brands and been satisfied. This time I decided to try the Alpine components. When I first installed them they sounded pretty good during the testing phase. Once I dialed in the amps and set the EQ on the deck these speakers really came to life. I was immediately impressed. Then I cranked up the volume and I was blown away, literally and figuratively. I didn't use any of the crossovers on the amp, just let these speakers go. Great bass! Crisp highs! I couldn't believe them. If you are considering these speakers you will not be disappointed. The subwoofer I got to go with these really isn't even necessary. My setup is a Sony XAV-601BT, Alpine SPR-60C (front), Alpine SBR-69 (rear), Rockford Fosgate Prime R400-4D (amp). Again, I couldn't be happier with these speakers and would recommend them to anyone. Pros: Awesome sound, great power handling Cons: None
Incredible! Written By Tyler S, Frederick, MD on Friday, November 30, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had these installed in my 2010 Civic sedan powered by 150 watts RMS. I've never heard such incredible sound. Sparkling (but not screechy) highs and tons of mids. The tweeters were installed in the factory location and they sound great. I've never had such wonderful sound in my car. You can crank it loud without distortion or keep it low and hear every detail. Pros: Everything. Cons: None.
alpine Type Rs Written By Yianni, Ruckersville on Friday, August 10, 2012 I bought a set of these to put in my TJ's soundbar, got them in the discount section of the Charlottesville store for 139.99! What a steal, these sound better than the infinity kappas I had previously, as well as the Boston acoustics the PO had put in by far. I'm running them off a pdxf4 and its very loud and very clear can't even hear the hum of my 35's when I crank it or the wind with the top off, I love it. Ain't a better place to get your stuff than from crutchfield now I Just gotta add an Sbr-s83v and wait for a set of 5.25 type r components hit the discount rack for the dash. Pros: Clarity, looks, quality, price Cons: None
Wow! Amazing sound for the price! Written By Patrick, Chester, VA on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'll start out with saying that I've listenend to and owned several component sets over the past 15 years in various vehicles and I consider myself a bit of an audiophile guru. I was looking for a really good component set for my 2011 Honda Accord coupe, and if you own one of these veicles, you know how difficult it is finding something that will fit in the factory locations without any cutting. I've always been a HUGE Alpine fan, and was hesitant at first for the price of this pair of compnents. After reading some reviews on here, and listening for myself, I was simply blown away! So much detail and halfway descent bass (if you have a large door opening) for the price! Add an amplifier behind these, and they will sing, and I mean LOUD. I'm using an Alpine PDX-V9 5 channel with a solid 100W going to each. I have a 10 year old pair of Alpine F#1 Status audiophile grade components in my truck that were over $1200/pair, and these Type-R's will give them a run for the money at a quarter of the cost. The tweeters are a bit on the "bright" side, so if you like a lot of upper frequency band treble, these are definitely for you. I reccommend attenuating the tweeters on the crossover network to at least a -2db instead of 0 (flat) setting. The build quality is good overall, and they use powerful neodymium magnets which allow for greater power handling and are easier when it comes to depth in mounting. Overall, great for the money, and a 9 out of 10 for everything else. Pros: Great sound, easy to install, no bulky crossover network, lots of detail Cons: Tweeters are a bit "bright" but can easily be adjusted
I recommend an amp Written By john, Cohoes, ny on Friday, July 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in my 2010 Ford F150 XLT supercrew with SYNC at the same time as a Sony XNV stereo. I must say they are a million times clearer than the stock speakers. I compared by fading front and then back as I did not replace the rear speakers. HUGE difference in clarity. The tweeters were way too bright for my taste, but I easily reduced the harshness by adjusting the the crossover to -4db. What I don't like is the lack of low end. I figured I'd lose some bc these I think are meant for those with a sub in their vehicle, but these are really lacking. The factory speakers hit lower notes than these do, albeit muddy low notes. I think this might be somewhat rectified with the addition of an amp to increase their power and punch. I am not using any kind of amplifier to them. Just the 17w RMS from the head unit. Pros: Clarity. Adjustable tweeter volume. Cons: Lack of bass notes
EXCELLENT Written By Butch3865, Wappingers Falls,NY on Saturday, June 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound quality Pros: Great up-grade from Mach factory speakers in my Mustang Convertible Cons: None
Perfection Written By John, El Dorado on Friday, April 27, 2012 I purchased this component system to replace the previous Kicker DS65.2 components i had installed in my 2003 Toyota Tundra Access Cab SR5 and I must say that these speakers are far superior to any other brand or type of speaker that I have installed, or for that matter, even heard. The sound these speakers emit is flawless in every area: crisp but not piercing treble, powerful middle, and just the right amount of bass. However I do recommend that you install bass blockers on them to insure that you do not damage the speakers when increasing the dB. Thats what I have done in my vehicle and: let the speakers do the talking and the subs do the bumpin. Way to go Alpine.
Alpine SPR-60C Written By billy c, memphis tn on Saturday, April 21, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers. Very clear. Love them
nice replacement Written By Mike, South Dakota on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The wife's factory Infinity component speakers blew in her car and we bought these Alpines to replace them. The installation was easy enough and although the tweeters didn't fit in the factory locations they look great where I installed front and rear. I was a little disappointed at first, but after only a few minutes these speakers really started to shine. The sound is crisp and very clear. The sound just surrounds us in the car now and that makes the wife happy....happy wife happy life thanks crutchfield Pros: clear, ease of installation, and highs,mids,and lows are very nicely separated Cons: If you want the hard thump get the sub, if you listen to a wide variety of music these work great
Wonderful and Powerful Written By Dirty Urdi, Illinois on Saturday, October 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First off, as of now, these speakers are fairly new. There aren't that many reviews here or anywhere else online. Take my word, these speakers are worth the money. Originally I had ordered 2x sets of component speakers, Polk Audio MM6501 6"3/4, and they sounded good for the price. After adding a Alpine MRP-F300 (amp) and a Kenwood Touch HU, everything seemed finished. Well after three weeks of use, the front right woofer cracked/blew. I called Crutchfield and after 3 weeks of backorders and out of stock replies, I finally told them I wanted a new set of speakers. They sent me these speakers (free of charge) and after 3 hours of installing, I can comfortably say that these sound deeper in bass. The treble really stands out in this set (beats the polk audios), and that's what you want from speakers. Subwoofers are for bass. If your looking for speakers for under $300 then take a risk and buy these. You can thank yourself afterwards.
Simply Amazing! Written By JasonB, Windsor Mill, MD on Tuesday, June 28, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So I just received these speakers yesterday and had them installed yesterday evening and I could not be more pleased. If this is what they sound like now, I can only imagine how much better they'll sound after they've broken in. I have a 2010 Ford Escape and these speakers sound like they should have been there from the beginning. They are rated as being able to handle up to 110 watts rms and I can only imagine how that would sound if my amplifier were capable of putting out that much power per channel. As it stands, I'm sending it 75 rms from a Pioneer GM-D9500F and they sound great. The low-pass crossover is set to approximately 80hz. The best part is that aside from the holes that had to be cut in the doors to accommodate the tweeters, it looks like nothing has been done to my car at all. I purchased these because aside from being able to fit in 6x8" speaker locations, they were one of the few speakers in the price range with silk dome tweeters. And true to information from Crutchfield, they really do sound warmer and less shrill than other similar speakers I've heard like Infinity, Kicker, and Boston Acoustics. And just so you know, I tend to listen to Hip-Hop, R&B, Jazz (not contemporary) and House/Electronica music primarily, but I love artists like N.E.R.D., Res, and the Roots who actually play instruments.

Most children in the home express a natural and normal curiosity about objects that can cause burn injuries such as ovens, electricity and hot water. Every year, many children are treated and die in hospital emergency rooms.
NFP : People's Burn Foundation
The mission of the People's Burn Foundation is to provide advocacy services to burn survivors and loved ones, and to educate our youth and communities with effective burn prevention programs.
Safe Voice is an everyday bracelet for children that uses the parent's voice and a light emitting technology to warn the child about burn injuries when they get close to dangerous objects.
Safe Voice will play the role of parents when the child is in danger, I hope to decrease the number of burn injury accidents.
Next step
Save Voice will not only protect child in the home. It should be able to futher protect children outside of the home while serving as a fashion item.

Tiger women begin season tonight
Published on -11/13/2013, 9:56 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
Fort Hays State University women's basketball coach Tony Hobson and senior forward Katelyn Edwards agree the Tigers have plenty of depth and many players with different skills.
Junior center Kate Lehman, a returning first team all-MIAA player and conference Defensive Player of the Year, is a great scorer and shot blocker. Edwards, a two-time all-league player, is athletic and can score. Senior forward Tera Ingalsbe is one of the league's most efficient all-around shooters.
Junior Keriann Shaw and sophomore Taylor Chandler are more defensive-minded. Sophomore point guard Beth Bohuslavsky is a solid player who runs the team well; Hobson calls her "wise beyond her years."
Among the newcomers, sophomore guard Chelsea Mason, a transfer from NCAA Division I Kennesaw State University, is the Tigers' best perimeter scorer. She is one of, if not the team's best 3-point shooter.
"I can see a lot of people playing just because they bring a lot of different qualities to the team," Edwards said.
Plus, the Tigers have enjoyed strong character and high-quality kids in the last several years. Hobson said this winter's team is no different.
"Our chemistry as a result, is better than it could be otherwise," Hobson said. "Some very good offensive players in our incoming class, and they have got a long way to go defensively."
The mix opens the season at 6 p.m. today at Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva, Okla. Fort Hays is receiving votes in the NCAA Division II national poll and was picked fourth in the MIAA preseason poll.
"We have all been really looking forward to the season, because I think that we were peaking at the end of last year and we want to really carry that into this year, and we have a lot of new girls," Edwards said. "So we are all still learning to play with each other, but athletically, I think that we have some girls that are really going to help us."
NWOSU is 0-2. Fort Hays went 22-7 last season and 20-9 the year before, the best two seasons with Hobson.
"They are athletic and they try to get out and play out on the court," Hobson said of NWOSU. "They press a couple different ways. They play some zone, they play a 1-3-1, they play a 2-3, they play a lot of man."
Last season, Lehman paced the team with 16.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 123 blocks and shot 69 percent from the free throw line.
Lehman has greatly improved her core, speed and strength throughout her career; Hobson has noticed a stronger, more fit Lehman this year. Lehman has gotten many of her points just by being active and running the floor. In the offseason, Hobson spent time with her in the low post and playing with her back to the basket.
Last season, Lehman, Edwards and Ingalsbe (7.5 points, 47 percent shooting, 85 percent from the line) rarely played on the floor at the same time. This season, Hobson looks for Lehman and Ingalsbe to play between six and 10 minutes a game together.
Edwards was second with 13.1 points and 7.9 rebounds, but shot just 64.2 percent from the line.
Of the team's 721 foul shots, Edwards took 187, Lehman 184.
Hobson wants Lehman and Edwards above 70 percent. Edwards has shot thousands of free throws since March. Instead of just taking thousands of shots, Edwards has focused on shooting two, then taking a break, then shooting two, just like a game.
"Her game is getting to the basket," Hobson said. "The way they are calling it now, they are calling it a little closer. She is going to shoot a lot of free throws, and the difference between shooting 65 percent from the line and shooting 75 percent for her is going to be one or two points a game over the course of a year."

Leslie Mann Gossip
Leslie Mann gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Other Woman friends
Wenn, FameFlynet
I love these photos. And I believe them. Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton have been everywhere together the last few weeks to promote The Other Woman. Today they were in NY for the morning shows. I'm all about how Cam's leaning into Leslie who's touching her face, smoothing hair off her forehead. Full Story
Cammie defends G, and humanises her
Michael Buckner/ Getty
Cameron Diaz was at CinemaCon yesterday in Vegas to promote The Other Woman with Leslie Mann. As we all know, Cammie is tight with Gwyneth Paltrow. And Gwyneth's "conscious uncoupling" has been the only story all week. So E! News asked her how her friend is doing. And, surprisingly, instead of getting pissy and how dare you-ee, Cam answered thoughtfully and graciously. Full Story
Friends with The Other Woman
I think maybe I have too much holiday cheer. Because I just watched the first trailer for The Other Woman starring Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, and Jaime Lannister and…my first reaction wasn't "it sucks". Not that that means it's amazing. For starters, they probably gave away too much of the movie in the preview. Full Story
The New York Times Fangirls Maude Apatow
A few hours after my post on Maude Apatow went up on Friday (click here if you missed it), The New York Times posted a story on her: "She's 14, Going on 140 Characters." The article is supremely annoying (as these types of articles in the Times can be), but this one is especially patronizing and glib. Full Story
The Family Apatow
Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty
There's a marked difference, to me, between a child star and a child actor. Miley Cyrus was a child star, Dakota Fanning was a child actor who became famous. I would count Maude and Iris Apatow in the child actor column because they only appear in their dad Judd's movies (and their mom Leslie Mann is always their mom). Full Story
Olivia's next Ryan
Gosling took her to the aquarium, then it was Jakey, Justin, and Bradley? Or was it Justin first then Jakey then Bradley? I don't remember the order. But this girl is taking over from Kate Hudson's manslinger and enjoying her single summer. And since she's been linked with almost everyone so far, I suppose it's only a matter of time before they make a story about her with Ryan Reynolds. Full Story

Narrow By Clear All
White Play Yards
Baby play yards will let your tots play in one safe space
Having a place where you can let your little guys and gals crawl and play while you do errands around the house is invaluable. The padded floor will keep them safe as they try out their new found walking skills. Many come with built-in mobiles so you can lay them down for a nap in the same room with you while you work on your computer or other tasks.
One great feature is collapsibility so you it can travel with you wherever you go. That way you can set it up in the living room or bring it to the beach so you can let them play by themselves without getting in the sand. The mesh side panels will let air flow through, and you keep an eye on them. There are models that come with attached diaper bags so you can keep all of your diapers, wipes and other diapering accessories with you when you're out and about without having to lug your entire bag along.
You can also pick up a play yard for babies that has an elevated changing table. This will keep you from having to set up a new area to change a dirty diaper or try to lean over the rail and change them. Kmart has a wide variety of baby play yards that will be able to suit your busy lifestyle.

Ulysses lets you focus when you need to concentrate. It keeps all your texts neatly stuffed in its intuitive library. With a few clicks, Ulysses can create beautiful documents from your manuscripts: PDFs, web pages, even iBooks-ready ePubs. With its simple, clutter-free interface, it will turn work hours into fun time. And mere thoughts into powerful stories. If you love to write, and write a lot, Ulysses is made for you.
It's not about countless menus, endless preferences and fancy formatting. That's why Ulysses' editor is text, and text only. A few characters will mark headlines, important passages or comments. No need to lift your fingers from the keyboard. There are almost no distractions, but if it's still too much, Full Screen mode helps you block out everything
Be it love letters, simple notes, daily blog posts or the Next American Novel. You can search it, filter it, mark it as favorite. You can keep all of it in one large group, or split your work into smaller chunks. Full iCloud sync ensures you'll have it all at hand – wherever you are, and whenever inspiration hits.
Yet it offers all the features you'd expect from a traditional word processor. Comments, lists and block quotes are as readily available as headlines and annotations. And while most markup tools choke at images, or leave you scratching your head when it comes to footnotes, Ulysses will handle them with ease. And unprecedented style.
Getting your stuff out can be as hard and time consuming as the actual creative process. Especially if you want the results to look great everywhere – and not just on paper (again, no pun). Ulysses III can transform your text into beautiful PDFs and eBooks, properly formatted and styled. It can also create standard HTML, ready to be used anywhere on the web. It's all just a click away, with on-the-fly switching of styles and a live preview built right in.
The interface leverages modern OS X concepts, such as sidebar navigation and on-demand toolbars. This beautifully familiar environment will stay out of your way – and help you get around in no time.
Enclose keywords, notes and images to your texts.
Combine multiple sheets into one, or break a long text into passages.
Keep up-to-date on word, characters, even reading time.
Keep an eye on your progress – and brag about it on Twitter.
Full integration of our iOS writing app Daedalus Touch.
Line highlighting is also supported. No need to go for a cursor hunt.
Directly edit text files from any folder (think Dropbox).
Change fonts and colors of the editor to your liking.
Travel back in time and access old versions of your sheets.
Fully supported, as is text-to-speech. Dave?
Also with grammar check. Because of corse it's not wrong.
Why should books have all the fun?
It's made writing so much simpler. I often hear writing best practices say around 25% of you time should be planning, 50% writing and 25% editing. I now actually do this – the minmal design makes planning easier, and with less distractions it encourages you to to get in the flow and write. Then I export to MS Word where I can edit and finalise any formatting tweaks.
I'm really most productive in three pane layouts, and Ulysses nails the balance of clean and muscle featured – enough options without choking the flow of clarity and 'have to get this down right now' moments when thoughts and ideas are moving at speed. Thanks for a perfect writing studio.
I look forward to seeing where Ulysses continues to go, but it's already become my absolute #1 favourite environment for doing any kind of writing, from short notes to long-form articles. From the time saved thanks to the enhanced Markdown syntax and customizable export styles and the ease of managing hundreds of documents, Ulysses has proven it's worth several times over.
After years and years of trying different writing software I think this is it. The search is over. Ulysses III is the best writing software I have used and the one that makes me WRITE the most.
What makes me like Ulysses so much is how easily it organizes and syncs my writing files. The interface is just completely gorgeous. I haven't come across anything this nice anywhere else. It's a beautiful environment to work in
Ulysses has been growing since it debuted and it has just been getting better and better. With the amazing export options, it really is a great way to get serious writing done and then be able to export it as PDF or RTF. […] Highly recommended.
Ulysses invites me to write. The three-pane design and full-screen focus, fast and powerful search capabilities, adjustable colors, intuitive menus and commands, approach to footnote entry, and overall simplicity enable me to write faster and longer. Ulysses is more intuitive than the capable Scrivener, with organizational tools that are not integrated into the otherwise excellent Byword.
I do a lot of academic writing, and this is the first Markdown editor that I feel handles footnotes well and it a way that I do not find distracting. The interface is simple and elegant, but so far I have found it capable of accomplishing everything I wanted done. […] This is by far my favorite Markdown editor.
The opportunity to write my own stylesheets in the very-similar-to-CSS stylesheet format means I can truly concentrate on content, export it, and boom, I have a PDF or Word document that looks exactly like I want. […] I have spent many years and many dollars trying to get what Ulysses III gave me today.
Passion, dedication, and a decade-long experience of creating apps for creative writers. That's the foundation on which Ulysses for Mac is built. Our goal is to offer a great tool to write just anything, and we hope you love it.

Pulmonary aspergilloma is a mass caused by a fungal infection that usually grows in lung cavities. It can also appear in the brain, kidney, or other organs.
Fungus ball; Mycetoma; Aspergilloma
Aspergillomas are formed when the fungus aspergillus grows in a clump in a lung cavity, or invades previously healthy tissue, causing an abscess .
Aspergillus is a common fungus. It grows on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost piles, and other decaying vegetation. Cavities in the lung may have been caused by:
See also: Aspergillosis
You may not have symptoms. When symptoms do develop, they can include:
Many patients never develop symptoms. Often, no treatment is needed, unless you are coughing up blood.
Occasionally, antifungal medications may be used.
If you have bleeding in the lungs, your doctor may inject dye into the blood vessels (angiography) to find the site of bleeding. The bleeding is stopped by shooting tiny pellets into the bleeding vessel.
Surgery is often the only choice if there is life-threatening bleeding.
The outcome can be good in many patients. However, it depends on the severity of the condition and your overall health.
Surgery may be very successful in some cases, but it is complex and can have a high risk of serious complications.
See your health care provider if you cough up blood, and mention any other symptoms that have developed.
People who have had related lung infections or who have weakened immune systems should try to avoid environments where the aspergillus fungus is found.

Constraint Manager, formerly Constraint Editor System (CES), provides a common, integrated constraint definition environment for schematic capture and layout.
Bi-directional cross-probing, highlighting and selection between the constraint environment, design capture, and layout ensure design intent is accurately, efficiently captured and adhered.
The constraint manager supports definition and verification of electrical and physical constraints within one environment, eliminating the need for separate databases, and simplifying a complex constraint entry process while improving design accuracy.
Constraint reuse within a design and between designs, and support for concurrent constraint entry accelerate the design process.

Kia Sorento Vibration Problems
toonie Posts: 8
kay40 Posts: 2My Sorento year 2007 have exactly the steering problems as described by 2BlueEyes. Unable to solve problems with Lube changes/tyre alignments. May I ask for more technical details and how/what to add this `Stepper motor' which solve the problem.
Much appreciate your assistance on this.
thank you. Kay40 -
paulf7 Posts: 2I also am experiencing vibrations on my new V-6 Sorento. I can notice it a variety of speeds and if you place your hand on the passenger headrest or place a bag on the passenger seat you can feel/see it shaking rapidly. At some speeds you can actually hear it. My dealer has looked at the SUV 3 times now and has changed the complete set of tires. No noticable shimmy or pulling on the steering but if you place it neutral you still get vibration which tells me it is not transmission.
I really like my dealer but am getting frustrated with the run around and really feel Kia has a tire problem. A new set of 18" Michelins will really be expensive. -
gtalbot416 Posts: 1I'm having the SAME issue but I have an SX. It's been to 2 different dealerships for a total of 4 times. I've driven 2 that have not vibrated but now they are saying it's normal vibrations for all Sorento's. How are you putting pressure because I want my money back as well. When I test drove the sales guy told me he would take care of me and fix it. So I took them at their word. I'm the big dummy who bought it anyway. Thanks so much!!!!
toonie Posts: 8I finally got the vibration fixed by them replacing the alternator and and casing. That was on the 5th try. I noticed a little one every once in a while but that doesn't bug me as much as the fact I am only getting 19 MPG when I was promise more. I would have never bought the car if I thought is was going to be less than my 6 CYL Hyundai. which was always 22 mpg.
Does any one know how we going about getting our money back or getting another car. I told them I was not happy and they immediately tried to sell me another car. And get this I was only going to lose $5000 and the tax and license fees. I was told to wait until I have at least 5000 mile on it and then the mileage would get better. So now I am up to 9000 and they said they have to depreciate it because of mileage. That was after they said it would get better after 10,000. oh please.
How do you sue them? -
sam239 Posts: 1I am also having the same issue as sorento2122 and sblais. I have a 2013 V6 LX model. (I bought this after having a rental for 3 wks and was in the market for a new car so bought one after reading nothing but good reviews about this vehicle.)
After balancing, alignment, replacing my winter tires twice and also the rims with the 2nd replacement and still the same problem.
So they put my all season Kumho's on and it is a lot better. Vibration in steering wheel almost gone and no longer pulls to the right however I still have vibrations when at high speeds on the highway over 100KM (65mph).
Something just isn't right and thought maybe it's just me but other people notice it too if I point it out.
Need to again for the 6th time take it back to the dealer. Dealer has said to me at one point that if it's not the tires then it's the drive shaft...
See what happens next.
Sblais and gtalbot416 have you gotten anywhere since your last posts? Is there a solution to this annoying problem? Glad to discover it's not just me with this issue. -
ydidibuykia1 Posts: 1I purchased my 2011 Sorento in August of 2011. In January of 2012 it needed a new motor at 8100 miles. In March of 2012 I replaced the inside light console, later that same year the wheel sensors and a bracket that helps to control the brakes was loose. Now August of 2013 I need a new axcel. This is terrible, horrible that i'm having these problems at 35,000 miles. Please think about my issues when you consider buying your next car or truck
jbussey2 Posts: 1
I purchased a 2013 Kia Sorento and I have had nothing but problems. I just had my 4th alignment because my car constantly pulls to the left and the car vibrates when I approach 60mph. Kia blames bad road conditions but this has been since I drove off of the lot. I only have 16000 miles on it and I hate this car. Kia is useless and won't have anything to do with it. Frustrating to say the least. I will NEVER buy a Kia again. Anyone else have these problems?

Naughty Sora is getting well oiled in a swimming pool with a couple of her friends. She starts with a bathing suit but as she gets oiled, she is naked and her guys are having a great time with her slippery body. She has a nice set of big tits that they are enjoying fondling with the slick oil coating. She is getting her oily pussy fingered and she is enjoying that too even though she is sliding all over the place in the pool! Once she is naked it is really hard to grab onto her huge hooters when she is laughing and moving around. It is funny to watch this greased doll as her guys try to catch her and her boobs just slide out of their fingers. She is taping this for her web site just because it is entertaining to see and makes the guys want to try it with her like it was a carnival game!

Selina M. Luger, MD
Last Modified: February 10, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My daughter is 18 and has AML M5. I understand this disease is more aggressive in people under 20. Where can I find treatments and long-term results for younger people? Most of the info I find does not differentiate.
Thank you.
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
I am not certain where you have read that information, but I don't think it is accurate. The area can be confusing. There is no evidence that AML is any harder to treat in patients under the age of 20, and in general the younger an adult with AML, the more successful the long term outcome.
The bone marrow is the organ that is responsible for the normal manufacturing of blood cells. We have three different types of blood cells, white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. Cells called stem cells in the bone marrow grow through various stages of development and mature into cells that make either (1) mature myeloid cells- white blood cells such as graunuloctes, red blood cells and platelets or (2) mature lymphoid cells-white blood cells called lymphocytes. Acute leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow that results from the accumulation of cancerous immature cells, or blasts, and the subsequent reduction of mature normal blood cells. There are 2 basic forms of acute leukemia, (cancer of the bone marrow which results in a accumulation of cancerous immature cells). Acute leukemia can be either myeloid (arising from bone marrow cells that were destined to be myeloid) or lymphoid (arising from cells that are destined to be lymphoid). In children, most leukemias are lymphoid and the results in ALL appear better than the results for AML. In adults, most leukmias are myeloid.
I would recommend that you daughter be treated at an institution that treats a good number of leukemic patients. If there is a university hospital in your area, I would recommend that she be evaluated there.
Jul 25, 2011 - Pediatric patients with high-risk leukemia, either acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who are treated with contemporary protocols have improved survival compared to earlier cohorts and have a favorable outcome after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), regardless of donor type, according to a study published in the July 14 issue of Blood.

Down to Earth Sociology Introductory Readings
Author:Henslin, James M.
1 Customer Product Review
Edition: 14
Pub Date: 2007
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
Summary: Chapter One: Invitation to Sociology Peter L. Berger Motivated by an intense desire to know what is "really happening," what goes on "behind the scenes," sociologists study almost every aspect of life in society. As Berger indicates, nothing is too sacred or too profane to be spared the sociologist's scrutiny. But when you penetrate the surface and peer behind the masks that individuals and organizations wear, you fi...nd a reality quite unlike the one that is so carefully devised and, just as carefully, put forward for public consumption. This changed angle of vision, however, poses a danger. Once you have peered behind the scenes and viewed life in a new light, it is nearly impossible to revert to complacent assumptions. The old, familiar, and so very comfortable ways of looking at life become upset when your angle of vision changes. This potential of sociology is also part of its attraction. The sociologist (that is, the one we would really like to invite to our game) is a person intensively, endlessly, shamelessly interested in the doings of men.* His natural habitat is all the human gathering places of the world, wherever men come together. The sociologist may be interested in many other things. But his consuming interest remains in the world of men, their institutions, their history, their passions. And since he is interested in men, nothing that men do can be altogether tedious for him. He will naturally be interested in the events that engage men's ultimate beliefs, their moments of tragedy and grandeur and ecstasy. But he will also be fascinated by the commonplace, the everyday. He will know reverence, but this reverence will not prevent him from wanting to see and to understand. He may sometimes feel revulsion or contempt. But this also will not deter him from wanting to have his questions answered. The sociologist, in his quest for understanding, moves through the world of men without respect for the usual lines of demarcation. Nobility and degradation, power and obscurity, intelligence and folly -- these are equally interesting to him, however unequal they may be in his personal values or tastes. Thus his questions may lead him to all possible levels of society, the best and the least known places, the most respected and the most despised. And, if he is a good sociologist, he will find himself in all these places because his own questions have so taken possession of him that he has little choice but to seek for answers. It would be possible to say the same things in a lower key. We could say that the sociologist, but for the grace of his academic title, is the man who must listen to gossip despite himself, who is tempted to look through keyholes, to read other people's mail, to open cabinets. Before some otherwise unoccupied psychologist sets out now to construct an aptitude test for sociologists on the basis of sublimated voyeurism, let us quickly say that we are speaking merely by way of analogy. Perhaps some little boys consumed with curiosity to watch their maiden aunts in the bathroom later become inveterate sociologists. This is quite uninteresting. What interests us is the curiosity that grips any sociologist in front of a closed door behind which there are human voices. If he is a good sociologist he will want to open that door, to understand these voices. Behind each closed door he will anticipate some new facet of human life not yet perceived and understood. The sociologist will occupy himself with matters that others regard as too sacred or as too distasteful for dispassionate investigation. He will find rewarding the company of priests or of prostitutes, depending not on his personal preferences but on the questions he happens to be asking at the moment. He will also concern himself with matters that others may find much too boring. He will be interested in the human interaction that goes with warfare o

Have you tried the MacKenzie River Pizza Company? I ate there when visiting Bozeman, MT this summer, and was really impressed. I think they have stores in Missoula as well.
I tried McKenzie River and thought they were good, but I long for my Chicago Pan pizzas. No one out here makes anything like them. Not to mention I'm 100 miles from Missoula in a one horse town!

Amniocentesis is a test that can be done during pregnancy to look for birth defects and genetic problems in the developing baby.
Culture - amniotic fluid; Culture - amniotic cells; Alpha-fetoprotein - amniocentesis
Amniocentesis removes a small amount of fluid from the sac around the baby in the womb (uterus). It is most often done in a doctor's office or medical center. You do not need to stay in the hospital.
You will have a pregnancy ultrasound first. This helps your health care provider see where the baby is in your womb.
Numbing medicine is then rubbed onto part of your belly. Sometimes, the medicine is given through a shot in the skin on the belly area.
The health care provider inserts a long, thin needle through your belly and into the womb. A small amount of fluid (about 4 teaspoons) is removed from the sac surrounding the baby.
The fluid is sent to a laboratory. Testing may include:
Results come back in about 2 weeks.
Amniocentesis is also used at times later in pregnancy to diagnose infection, to check to see if the baby's lungs are developed and ready for delivery, and to remove excess fluid from around the baby when an abnormally high amount of fluid is made (polyhydramnios).
Your bladder must be full for the ultrasound.
Before the test, blood may be taken to find out your blood type and Rh factor. You may get a shot of medicine called RhoGAM if you are Rh negative.
Amniocentesis is most often offered to women who are at increased risk for bearing a child with birth defects. This includes women who:
You may choose genetic counseling before the procedure. This will allow you to:
This test:
Amniocentesis can be used to diagnose many different gene and chromosome problems in the baby, including:
A normal result means:
Note: Even with normal results after an amniocentesis, a baby may still have other types of birth defects.
An abnormal result may mean your baby has:
Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
Risks are minimal, but may include:
