Nestlé is recalling Has issued a voluntary recall of HOT POCKETS® brand Philly Steak and Cheese in three different pack sizes and HOT POCKETS® brand Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese, in the two pack box . Why you ask? Because according to the USDA some of the meat used in those Hot Pockets is "unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food" The meat in question traced back to Rancho Feeding Corporation.
The USDA says that Rancho Feeding Corporation "processed diseased and unsound animals and carried out these activities without the benefit or full benefit of federal inspection. Thus, the products are adulterated, because they are unsound, unwholesome or otherwise are unfit for human food and must be removed from commerce"

Hopeful future owners of the HTC Titan II , you are only one month a and a few days for getting it if you are on AT&T. To recap, this phone is sporting:
- Single-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2
- A 16 Megapixels camera that is curiously only capable of shooting in 720p
- Compatible 4G LTE -the first Windows Phone to benefit from this technology
Strangely, for such a massive 4.7 " screen, the resolution is still standard WVGA (800 x 480)
Additionally, the phone appears exclusively US bound for now.
The Titan II will be available at a price of $ 199.99 with a 24 months contract.
After its announcement at CES, nothing further has been said about when an equivalent version will be launched in Europe
What do you think of this device?

Guidance calls for 'regular check-ups' for some men
Professor Mark Baker, director of Nice's Centre for Clinical Practice, says that the "surveillance" protocol for men with slow-growing prostate cancer would involve "regular check-ups" instead of "radical treatment".
– Professor Mark Baker, nice
Prostate cancer can be very slow growing and whilst many men will have a cancer that won't cause them any harm in their lifetime, nearly 10,000 men still die every year in England and Wales.
The updated guideline includes a number of new recommendations on the swift diagnosis and treatment of different stages of the disease and a new protocol for men who choose active surveillance, which involves regular check-ups to see if and how the cancer is developing, rather than radical treatment.

Ladders have evolved over the last 25 years due to customer demands for ladders that do more than one job and for ladders that take up less storage space than traditional ladders. Single multi purpose ladders usually means you need fewer sets of ladders. Multi-purpose ladders now come in the form of combination ladders that combine the function of a ladder and step ladder. Articulated ladders such as the Little Giant System convert from a sturdy step ladder to an extension ladder.

Fluff Journalism
Original post made by Cindy Cross on Apr 22, 2011
The current state of affairs in the world seems to be in utter chaos; wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, civil unrest in most of Northern Africa, rising price of gasoline, etc.
But what headlines do we hear about the most? Here are a few:
"Charlie Sheen booed in New York During his One Man Act"
(Who cares about this self-absorbed nut case? Can we please stop giving this guy free press?)
"Plane Carrying First Lady Michelle Obama Narrowly Misses Military Jet"
(Truth be told, the military jet was three miles away! Please! Let me know when her plane was missed by three inches: Even then I may be a little annoyed since no one was hurt, right?)
"Prince William and Catherine Middlefield Wedding Plans Revealed"
(Sure it's sweet, but didn't we leave England to escape all this royal buffoonery? Constant headline news about what she might wear, or who was not invited to the wedding is getting real old. For goodness sakes, can we please get this wedding over with and move on?)
"Lindsay Lohan to Change her Name to LindsayDropping Lohan"
(Why don't you drop the Lindsay too so we don't have to watch your train crash for the umpteenth time?)
Sure, we all need trifles to keep all the bad news at bay, but the constant hammering of specific "fluff journalism" stories bury the important news.
How many of you are aware of Tim Hetherington's death on April 20th? He was an award winning British journalist killed by a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) while documenting the civil war in Misrata Libya. He directed the Academy Award nominated 2010 documentary film, Restrepo - put into literary form by renowned writer Sebastian Junger.
Also killed during the RPG attack in Libya was American journalist Chris Hendrosat least 6 other journalists were injured.
American journalist Clare Gillis has been missing in Libya for sixteen days along with at least six local journalists and two media support workers are also unaccounted for.
I suppose this news doesn't sell newspapers, but these journalists gave their lives to gather it.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 6:18 pm
I actually did read about the deaths of Photojournalists Tim Hetherington and Chris Hendros. However, it was not on the front page of the mainstream media. Instead I read about both men in the obituary section of a major newspaper. If I hadn't been looking for a friend's obit I would have missed the story of these men's tragic deaths.
I guess it's all about selling news. It's a sad comentary that people would rather read about the "Bling" rather than the lives of newsworthy men and women that are trying to make a difference in our crazy world.
on Apr 22, 2011 at 9:36 pm
LOVE your writing! This article was very amusing! And I'm so sick of fluff journalism!
on Apr 22, 2011 at 9:52 pm
Thanks for writing this piece- I agree! I heard a great piece on NPR last week about the journalists in Libya. There was also great interviews with journalists who had been injured multiple times in the line of work they do and what drives them to continue.
Those who want real news can still seek it out, then there are those who just want news that reflects their personal point of view and then call it news. With the amount of television Americans watch, and stupid television, we sure have dumbed down the information we are receiving.

Nevada lawmakers are considering "B Corps" legislation that would encourage business leaders to make decisions based on more than just profit.
Democratic Assemblyman David Bobzien of Reno presented AB89 to the Assembly judiciary committee Monday.
The bill deregulates the way business decisions are made by creating a category of "benefit corporations" that would consider the social and environmental impacts of their decisions with the same importance as profit.
Under current law, a business purchasing from a local manufacturer could be liable to shareholders if it's determined that leaders aren't focusing purely on profit.
This legislation protects companies from such lawsuits, but exposes them to legal action if they do not pursue social and environmental benefit enough each year. (AP)

War Is Betrayal
Posted on Jul 13, 2012
By Chris Hedges, Boston Review
This piece originally appeared in the Boston Review.
We condition the poor and the working class to go to war. We promise them honor, status, glory, and adventure. We promise boys they will become men. We hold these promises up against the dead-end jobs of small-town life, the financial dislocations, credit card debt, bad marriages, lack of health insurance, and dread of unemployment. The military is the call of the Sirens, the enticement that has for generations seduced young Americans working in fast food restaurants or behind the counters of Walmarts to fight and die for war profiteers and elites.
The poor embrace the military because every other cul-de-sac in their lives breaks their spirit and their dignity. Pick up Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front or James Jones's From Here to Eternity. Read Henry IV. Turn to the Iliad. The allure of combat is a trap, a ploy, an old, dirty game of deception in which the powerful, who do not go to war, promise a mirage to those who do.
I saw this in my own family. At the age of ten I was given a scholarship to a top New England boarding school. I spent my adolescence in the schizophrenic embrace of the wealthy, on the playing fields and in the dorms and classrooms that condition boys and girls for privilege, and came back to my working-class relations in the depressed former mill towns in Maine. I traveled between two universes: one where everyone got chance after chance after chance, where connections and money and influence almost guaranteed that you would not fail; the other where no one ever got a second try. I learned at an early age that when the poor fall no one picks them up, while the rich stumble and trip their way to the top.
Those I knew in prep school did not seek out the military and were not sought by it. But in the impoverished enclaves of central Maine, where I had relatives living in trailers, nearly everyone was a veteran. My grandfather. My uncles. My cousins. My second cousins. They were all in the military. Some of them—including my Uncle Morris, who fought in the infantry in the South Pacific during World War II—were destroyed by the war. Uncle Morris drank himself to death in his trailer. He sold the hunting rifle my grandfather had given to me to buy booze.
Square, Site wide
The myth of war held fast, despite the deep bitterness of my grandmother—who acidly denounced what war had done to her only son—and of others like her. The myth held because it was all the soldiers and their families had. Even those who knew it to be a lie—and I think most did—were loath to give up the fleeting moments of recognition, the only times in their lives they were told they were worth something.
"For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' 'Chuck him out, the brute!'" Rudyard Kipling wrote. "But it's 'Saviour of 'is country' when the guns begin to shoot."
Any story of war is a story of elites preying on the weak, the gullible, the marginal, the poor. I do not know of a single member of my graduating prep school class who went into the military. You could not say this about the high school class that graduated the same year in Mechanic Falls, Maine.
Geoff Millard was born in Buffalo, New York and lived in a predominately black neighborhood until he was eleven. His family then moved to Lockport, a nearby white suburb. He wrestled and played football in high school. He listened to punk rock.
"I didn't really do well in classes," he says. "But that didn't seem to matter much to my teachers."
At fifteen he was approached in school by a military recruiter.
"He sat down next to me at a lunch table," Millard says. "He was a Marine. I remember the uniform was crisp. All the medals were shiny. It was what I thought I wanted to be at the time.
"He knew my name," Millard adds. "He knew what classes I was taking. He knew more about me than I did. It was freaky, actually."

I bought it for my daughter for Christmas. I ordered it on December 14th and it was delivered the 18th. I was worried I wouldn't receive it on time, but much to my surprise it made it. It was really soft and in great condition. It got even softer after I washed the set before its first use!
This is a very nice set and the price is great. I love the colors and the feel of the comforter and sheets. I purchased this for my 3 year old who loves flowers and Butterflies. She loves her new set. I would recommend this set. Cant beat the qaulity especially for the price. I love Overstock.
Granddaughter loves comforter. Good quality. I would recommend this to anyone. Also delivered on time.
I am very pleased with the product. I received it in perfect condition. The delivery was super fast. I bought a Sweet Butterfly Bed in a Bag with Sheet Set. Everything was in the bag, not a piece was missing. The colors are just amazing! I would buy again at overstock.com anytime. Thank you!
The comforter is actually quite comfortable however the sheets and pillowcases are paper thin. The pillows will not even stay inside the pillowcases because they are so thin. The items are true to color and for the price they are ok for the time being.
For the price this is nice set for my daughter. The sheets are thin and the comforter is not super heavy either. But it works.
My granddaughter was so excited when she opened this gift... bright beautiful butterflies everywhere.... and it isnt just for little kids, it can be special for a teen as well !!
I bought this set for my 11 year old daughters bedroom, its very cute, shipped fast. The quality is what I would expect for the cost. A great little girls set as they change their likes and dislikes yearly anyway!
I bought this bedding set for my 3 year old daughter. We have a baby on the way and we moved her into the bigger bedroom which was previously a guest bedroom. She LOVES her new bedroom! It is so bright and cozy and this bedding set really complete the room. The comforter and sheets are soft and arrived in great condition and color. The best part is that they are general enough that we will get a lot of years use out of them rather than doing a character themed bedroom that she will grow out of after a couple of years. I highly recommend this product!
The colors are so bright and this bedding is adorable! My daughter loves it and it makes her room look so happy. The comforter is a little bulky for her so we just fold it down when she's sleeping. The sheets are nice and soft, not stiff or pilly like some other sets. I definitely recommend this if you're considering it!

The 2009 North Face Mont Blanc Ultratrail - HighlightsTue, 01/09/2009 - 19:40 — Petzl News

- SUR LES TRACES DES DUCS DE SAVOIE [TDS] around 106 km long with 6600 m of elevation gain, mostly self-supported - 30-hour cut-off - starts Saturday, August 29 at 5am from Chamonix – a maximum of 1200 racers allowed
- LA PETITE TROTTE A LEON [PTL] (FRANCE - SWITZERLAND - ITALY) – around 245 km long with 21,000 m of elevation gain, completely self-supported - Starts Tuesday, August 25, 2009 à 10pm from downtown Chamonix - Cut-off: Sunday, August 30 at 4:30pm (114 h maximum). A non-stop, non-competitive race open to 60 inseparable teams of 3.
The start of the Mt Blanc Ultra-Trail - Photo (c) Pascal Tournaire
The UTMB started smoothly and swiftly, with the Spaniard Kilian Jornet (last year's winner) leading. As night fell, a light rain came down and a thick fog rolled in, making the course hard to follow. Armed with a good knowledge of the course and wearing a MYO RXP on his head, Kilian calmly held on to the lead all the way to the finish line.

A stampede in the pea soup: the racers came together to keep from getting lost and a long procession of lights forms, as headlamps become key for safety on the trail.
Photo (c) Pascal Tournaire
When weather conditions take a turn for the worst, having the right headlamp becomes crucial. Pascal Bourquin, on his third UTMB, was equipped with the ULTRA : "At the Col du Bonhomme, it wasn't fog but snow that we had to go through... With the ULTRA on high, I could see the ground well and be sure-footed. Because of that I was able to pass around 100 racers, who were missing the trail markers. Many of them even slipped in behind me so they wouldn't get lost."
Photo (c) Pascal Tournaire
Without the extra power of the ULTRA BELT (350 lumens), the MYO RXP ( 85 lumens) with its 150 lumen Boost mode was still enough deal with this crucial section.
Seb Chaigneau (2nd), ran with his MYO RXP but nearly regretted his choice, having loaned his ULTRA to his girlfriend who was competing in the CCC®. The Japanese Kaburaki, (3rd in the Men's), almost got lost in the fog. He lost 20 minutes around Courmayeur. "But Japanese never give up," he said with a smile. His wanderings gave him a chance to get to know his new friend Seb Chaigneau better. "We met up at the Col de la Seigne to avoid getting lost. And we hardly ever separated until we neared the finish line," laughed Sébastien, who felt the pressure of the Japanese racer most of the way.
Kristin Moehl - Photo (c) Pascal Tournaire
The inclement weather made it hard for everyone. Monica Aguilera (3rd in the women) lost 40 minutes at the Col du Bonhomme trying to find the trail in the thick fog. Working hard to make up the lost time, the last 50 km were particularly rough for her. The same misadventure for Lizzy Hawker: she got lost several times before getting back on track, but not before letting the American Kristin Moehl pull ahead to victory. Six years after first winning the UTMB®, Krissy "ran one of the best races of her career." With 10 ultras under her belt, Krissy finished this race in total control. "In six years, the UTMB® has really changed. The race has gotten huge and is completely different from the first year. Having Lizzy right behind me helped me to focus on the trail and my body," explained the American.

At 4:30pm on Sunday, the UTMB® closed with 1382 runners making it to the finish line. It took many of them 2 nights to get to there. Fortunately, visibility on the second night was better.
Congratulations to all the race organizers and runners and here's to a smooth recovery! We'll finish with this quote from Dawa Sherpa after he threw in the towel on the first night: "I didn't have any strength left in my arms or legs. I was on empty and it didn't make sense to continue under these conditions," he said with a smile. "Running has to be fun for me..."
See you back next year for more fun...!

TICONDEROGA — Hazel Straight says she never expected to live to be 100 years old — and never wanted to.
But her family just threw a party marking her 100th birthday at Heritage Commons nursing home.
"We celebrated around the table — my daughter, Nancy, and my friends. The party was nice."
Hazel, who was born June 11, 1913, can remember the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam.
"I lived many, many years in Port Henry, most of my life," she said during an interview at the nursing home in Ticonderoga.
"I went to school in Richford, Vt., then I moved to New York and got married."
Looking back over the years, one of the things she remembers disliking is that she needed to clip a rationing coupon to buy meat during World War II.
If you didn't have the coupon when you went to the store, you didn't get the meat, she said.
Hazel said she's only at Heritage Commons for a little while, recovering from pneumonia, then will be returning to her apartment at Lord Howe Estates, an assisted-living complex nearby, where she has lived for 18 years.
"I was in the hospital first. I like it here, but I want to go home, back to my apartment," she said. "I can't wait to get back."
Her daughter, Nancy Sheldon, lives in Port Henry and visits her several times a week.
"We'll have a bigger party when she gets back in her apartment," Nancy said. "All her daughters will be there."
Hazel has three daughters still living: Nancy, Cheryl and Beverly. Cheryl lives in Oswego, and Beverly in Millerton.
One daughter, Jean, died in an automobile accident in 1985.
Nancy said she and her mother often go out for lunch.
"She tells people how old she is, and they can't believe it. She drove until she was 93. She's kind of amazing."

Very good support and really great that they have an open toe and I am able to wear summer flip flops and sandels Love them
I love these hose. I am on my feet a lot at work and they make my legs feel great. They are comparable to the more expensive brands but without the expensive price.
These stockings have a good amount of toe room which is so important. The stocking top is very comfortable and does not roll and therefore no pinching there. These stockings seem to be cooler and more breathable, also. I am totally satisfied with these stockings

A detached garage is destroyed after a fire in Cedar Rapids Saturday morning.
It happened at 4:36 a.m. at 1219 5th Avenue Southeast. Firefighters said the fire threatened nearby residences and other detached garages.
As firefighters arrived on scene, they found a neighbor using a garden hose to try to keep the fire from spreading.
The garage was destroyed. There were tools and garden equipment inside the garage, as well as several tires which caused several explosion sounds as they burned.
The detached garage is owned by Donna Tjaden, age 51, and Willie Jones, Jr., age 55.
Siding was melted on two adjacent detached garages near the alley in the 1200 block between 5th Avenue and 6th Avenue Southeast.
The cause of the fire to the one-stall garage where the fire appears to have started is under investigation.

I really, really need to go upstairs and make up an order I received yesterday so that I can get it in the post today. However, I keep making excuses not to go - although, interestingly, none of those excuses involve housework.
Why is it that, when I'm making something I haven't sold yet, I'm full of enthusiasm and can't wait to get it finished but, when it's already sold, I get all laid back about it? Or is that only me? It will only take me 10 minutes to finish it and another 10 minutes to package it all up beautifully so why don't I get on with it? Well, I'll go and put the kettle on and have a cuppa and then I'll go upstairs....... probably.
Here is Henry, showing me how to relax without guilt -

196th Conference hosted by Mother Bethel AME
- Written by Michael Robinson
- Published in Religion
Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church is the host church for the Philadelphia Annual Conference, a milestone accomplishment in that it's the 196th Session. The conference theme, "Reach, Reclaim, Engage, Empower" (Luke 10:1) — the conference is scheduled to run from May 23–27, 2012, at Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, 419 South 6th Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
Men and women from across Pennsylvania, and as far as California and international locations, including Bermuda, have converged in Philly to celebrate the 196th Conference Session. "I'm just praying that the Lord will bless us real good," shared Rev. Edward M. Bailey, Lancaster, Pa. A native New Yorker, he now shepherds a Bethel AME Church in Lancaster. "I'm an African Methodist, and there's nothing like an AME conference … the singing, the preaching, the worship experience is outstanding," shared Bailey. He's also very hopeful that the conference goes well because it's the last conference for Bishop Richard Franklin Norris, the presiding bishop and Episcopal leader.
"I'm been a member of Mother Bethel since 1995," shared Rev. Lisa R. Cross, an ordained elder at Mother Bethel AME. Cross continued in expressing her job about the conference, "This is a great conference, and my expectation is that the new vision that is being planted throughout all the churches will be instilled in the leadership (represented) here. It's wonderful to be here at the Mother church because our heritage means more to me now than ever before; if we don't tell the story, who's going to tell it?" Cross is responsible for Congregational Care services.
Delores Lyons is the operations manager for Mother Bethel AME Church, and the general chair for the Philadelphia Annual Conference. According to Lyons, she hopes that the visiting conference attendees will experience, "Joy, joy, joy!" She's been a member of Mother Bethel for over 25 years, and her expectation for the conference is for "everyone (to walk) away satisfied, satisfied, having been filled with the Spirit and renewed to go forward to evangelize for Christ."
Rev. Dr. Mark Tyler, senior pastor of Mother Bethel AME Church, shared this about the 196th conference, "Well, this is a bit overwhelming, obviously, but it is a great honor to be standing in the historic steps of Richard and Sarah Allen (the church founders). To think, 196 years ago, the AME Church began holding annual conferences; the first was in Baltimore; a year later, it was in Philadelphia. So, we're the second oldest annual conference in the entire world — and now, there are annual conferences held on five continents."
For more information about the conference, or Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, call 215-925-0616.

Newbie from New York
Post your introduction and "get to know me" information in this forum.
Moderator: Team Cub
Newbie from New York
Hi from New York. I joined the forum to help my son with his restoration of his very first Cub purchase. We believe the tractor to be a 1950 Cub Demonstrator. The serial number as best we can see right now is 99577. The plate is worn and we are trying to come up with a way to bring the numbers out so they are more legible without causing any more damage to the plate. Also upon further inspection under the hood and several other areas we can see white paint.
I know we have a lot of research to do and hope the group can help us along the way. We don't want to rush and make mistakes, so will probably be asking a lot of questions. He has purchased a book "Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet" by Ken Updike as a starting point.
This first question is very pre-mature, but if we prove that this is a Demo Cub, should it be painted white or red as the dealers were supposed do?
Want to Thank all members in advance for your help and patience with our questions.
Re: Newbie from New York
HEY Glad to have you with us.
I have a place in Franklin which is a bit west of you. As far as color goes it is your tractor, your choice. Many today like the white on their demonstrators, yet many others use red. If you have no nearer dealer Catskill Tractor in Franklin is a Case IH dealer and have many Cub parts in stock. Of coursae being right around the corner as it were I just go there. They do have an Internet site too.

TM Tractor and Ralph's Cubs (both site sponsors) have most parts that you need.
Re: Newbie from New York
Welcome to the forum! Your son if fortunate to start out with a Demo and have a willing father to assist! There is tons of information available here; the "search" function will lead to many answers, if not post a question. I highly recommend the site sponsors for parts, both new and used; you will see you can't go wrong with any of them.
As far as the color, as already noted, that is really a matter of personal preference. BUT, if it can be documented as a demo (i.e. white under hood, etc.) I would have to go White if it were mine. Not that I am a Demo fan (sorry Doc) but more in the interest of putting it back to original state.
Best of luck and keep us posted and a few pictures are always encouraged.. ,
Re: Newbie from New York
Thanks for the welcome folks. I haven't seen the tractor yet. He just got it last Thursday and I haven't been up to Middleburgh to see it yet. I will be going to see it this week and will take some pictures to post. Will advise him of the upcoming shows as well. I hope he has found a demo and he enjoys the task he is about to begin. Will post the pics soon.
Re: Newbie from New York
Congrats to your son on acquiring his very first Cub. Notice I said first -- bet he won't be able to stop at one and maybe Dad won't be able to either Cubs are a lot of fun and rather addictive. Not only that, but the folks around Cubs are really great people and are a significant part of why Cubs are so darned addictive..
Do follow the links below. There is a really large amount of information available here via the forums on these critters.. unlike any other tractor group around. Hope you enjoy the read --

Re: Newbie from New York
Got some pictures today, but haven't figured out how to post them here yet.
Signed up for the PhotoHost and when approved will try that.
From what I saw today the tractor is quite probably a demo cub. There is significant white showing on many parts and under the hood. The serial number is correct as 99577. It runs like a charm. Matt, my son, has it torn apart and is fixing all the leaks and checking things out.

Re: Newbie from New York
Arkville this comming weekend there is a tractor show in Sharon Springs. I don't know how far that is from you. Pris and I will be there on Saturday. From past experience this is a good show with lots of tractors.
Re: Newbie from New York
Thanks Cecil. My son is planning on attending, but I can't make it. I looked over the tractor yesterday and all indications show it is most likely a demo. The serial number 99577 is correct according to the serial number list. Under the hood and on several parts there is evidence of plenty of white paint. He hasn't decided which color to paint it yet. I sort of think he should stick with the red myself, but that is his decision. He has things all torn apart and changing fluids and replacing leaky gaskets. Having a ball with it.
Re: Newbie from New York
I managed to figure out how to get pictures on the Photohost. I posted 29 pictures of the tractor and parts. Also original manuals and implements that came with it. Still got to work with the photohost and figure out how to get all the pictures under one album. I'll figure it out sooner or later.
Re: Newbie from New York
Here is an idea. Strip it down and paint it white. Then paint it red. You would have one of the most "correct" Demo's out there.
Second thought, Just use a white primer then paint it red.

"The picture was taken before we started our Zumba class. There were 25 ladies (including me, the instructor) for class on Saturday, January 18 at 9:00am. That was a cold day but we warmed up in a hurry!! The ladies were so thrilled with their shirts they wanted to show them off. I purchased the shirts for them for their Christmas present. I had a few problems but the sales people at Custom Ink helped solve the issues I had. I also ordered shirts for my ladies that do Pilates. They turned out great! If we win they want to order another shirt to wear to Zumba class!"

I trust MCM .....he s a bada$.......
Agreed. No reason to doubt the poster.
Well, if this is a hoax, i'll lead the charge of torches and pitchforks. I'm gonna be super let down if i don't get a S90V/CF Yo 2. That's a grail in the making.
Official plea to Sal: Can we PLEASE get a DLC Yojimbo 2? PLEASE!!?
The XL 2 in CF & S90v has been pushed by me ever since the Manix2 was put out. (been yrs now)
It was OK' d in Jan at the shot show. (These things often go really slow...........)
The Yo was not my entry. Rather a distributor and KW.
Again, the time line on these can go fast or slow........... You never know..........
All I can say is be ready.
Will pass on info as it comes out.
And yes, this is like #10 or #12 for me... I do it as its a challenge. (And I cant buy the knives I want if they are not produced)
Have only had 2 Spyderco's to date. The M4 Millie and M390 Millie.
That's about all I know at this time.
Will keep you posted.
More S90v & CF please.......
I fear I will probably miss out on this one, but would love one of each.
-Fat TonyI don't get mad. I get..Stabby.
Sorry to bring up a Zombi thread.......... Were looking at the 3rd qtr of 2013 on these.....
Worth the wait..............

Apologies too since: "No good deed goes unpunished."

I kinda hope KW does another run of the m390 Military... I lost mine and want to get another one reaaaly badly. Manix 2 XL does sound pretty sweet though.

I see CF, S90v, but no XL. Did I miss a past spirit or is this a joke?

The holiday season may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it surely isn't the healthiest. If a new piece of gear or a shiny new gadget will help keep you motivated through the month of December, I say that's a small price to pay for health. Here are my picks to keep you warm, healthy, and stress-free during this hectic, holiday-filled month. Pace Legging What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Base layers can make or break a day in the snow. The Pace Legging ($90) by Icebreaker is sure to make any wintry adventure a WIN. These leggings will keep you toasty while wicking away moisture. Plus merino wool is naturally odor resistant. Perfect under snow pants for boarding or skiing, Pace leggings easily double as running tights for cooler temperature workouts. They're so soft you might find yourself lounging in them by the fire too. 1 / 5 iPod Nano What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Music truly is a fitness motivator. With its simple built-in clip you can attach the new iPod Nano ($149-$179) to your sleeve or waist band and hit the ground running. But with a built-in pedometer, the lightweight gadget also motivates you to move around outside of your regularly scheduled workouts. How else will you hit the magic number of 10,000 daily steps? 2 / 5 Base Miles Headband What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Base Miles Headband ($19) from Athleta is a triple threat. It not only keeps your hair out of your face and your ears toasty, but the hole for your ponytail means increased comfort. Made of wicking fabric, the headband keeps your head dry during cold weather workouts. 3 / 5 Pink Grapefruit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Start your days in December off right with a bite of sunshine. Pink grapefruit is loaded with vitamin C and low in calories — only 65 in a serving. Its pink hued flesh is rich in the antioxidant lycopene, known for its anti cancer properties. Best of all, the fruit is in season from December to April, so look for the fruit in the produce aisle at your local grocery store. You know grapefruit is not just for breakfast anymore. Try it in salad. Here's a recipe that pairs the citrus fruit with avocado. Flickr User 4 / 5 (TIMBUK2) RED Thumbprint Messenger What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The first day of December is World AIDS Day and Timbuk2 has joined the (RED) team to raise funds to fight the disease. The messenger bag maker will donate five percent of the sales of its limited edition Red Thumbprint bag ($95) to the Global Fund to combat the spread of AIDS. The classic messenger bag has an easily adjustable strap that locks in place. Carry it to work or the gym. 6 / 5 0 5 9 0 0 Read More Ice BreakerDecember Must HavesIPod NanoTimbuk2AthletaGrapefruitMust HavesFitnessShopping athleta Sexy and Sporty: 11 Stylish Bikini Tops That Hold It All In 6/17 6 Fitness Deals to Kick Off Your Weekend 2/21 You'll Love These Long-Sleeved Yoga Layers 2/07/13 Cold-Weather Running Jackets at Every Price Point 1/16/13 Fitness Tops For the Well-Endowed 5/30/12 Do "No Line" Headbands Really Work? 3/12/12 Get a Personalized Fitness Newsletter!

Hi-ho! It's not easy being green, but it's a piece of cake to make these tasty treats.
You'll need:
- 1 box cake mix (bake as directed on box for 13x9 cake)
- 1 16 oz can of ready made frosting
- Wax paper
- Baking sheets
- Green candy coating
- White candy coating
- Red candy coating
- Small round candy with white shell (such as white Sixlets)
- Green jumbo diamond sprinkles
- Pink jumbo diamond sprinkles (broken in half)
- Black edible ink pen
- Squeeze bottle
- Toothpicks
- Paper lollipop sticks
- Styrofoam block
Note: One cake makes about 48 cake pops. If you don't need that many, then cut the cake in quarters and freeze any cake sections for another day. You'll need at least one ounce of candy coating for each Kermit the Frog cake pop you plan on dipping and more for any extra decorating.Instructions:
1. After cake is baked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl.
2. With a large spoon, mix thoroughly with about 3/4 of the can of frosting. You won't need the rest.
4. Roll mixture into quarter size cake balls and place on a wax paper covered baking sheet.
5. Place cake balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. You can transfer them to the refrigerator to keep chilled and avoid freezing.
6. When they are firm, shape the cake balls to resemble Kermit's head. Start out by shaping them to look like a teardrop.
7. Use a picture of Kermit as a guide to help shape the cake ball. You can also use a lollipop stick to help shape the mouth. Press the stick into the pointed end of the teardrop shape to make an opening in the mouth. Continue shaping to form an open mouth with a defined top and bottom.
8. Return the cake pops to the refrigerator to maintain firmness.
9. Melt green candy coating in a heat-proof plastic bowl so that the coating is at three to four inches deep for easier dipping. You can also add a little white candy coating when heating to create a lighter shade of green. Melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals on low, stirring in between. Repeat until melted and smooth.
10. Remove a couple of shaped cake balls from the refrigerator at a time to work with.
11. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted green candy coating and insert stick into the bottom of Kermit's head. Dip the entire cake pop into the bowl of melted candy coating. Dip and remove in one motion without stirring. Make sure the entire cake ball is covered. Using a deep bowl is helpful here. If your coating is too thick, you can add a little vegetable oil or shortening to help thin it and make it easier to work with.
12. Remove and allow any excess coating to fall off the pop and back into the bowl.
13. Before the coating sets, place two round candies with white shells in position for eyes. Repeat with the remaining Kermit pops.
14. Place in a styrofoam block to dry.
15. When dry, pipe melted red candy coating on the bottom part of Kermit's mouth and gently place a pink diamond jumbo sprinkle in position for the tongue.
16. Use a toothpick to work red coating around sprinkle if necessary.
17. When dry, use a toothpick to place a small amount of green candy coating around the bottom of Kermit's head and place four green diamond sprinkles around the stick to form Kermit's collar.
18. Use a black edible ink pen to draw details on the eyes.
19. Let dry completely.
20. You can wrap in treat bags tied with a ribbon and/or store them on the counter or in an airtight container for several days.
21. Enjoy!

If you are coming by train, and if you are (and most likely you are) arriving at Varanasi Junction Railway Station:
Get off the train. Come out of the railway station. Go right on the street (this street which will look like a crowded city street is actually the national highway stretch that crosses Varanasi). Then exit the highway to go into the city on the left. Hereon you have to keep going straight for about 300m. When you reach gate no. 2 of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University (or just Vidyapeeth University) on your left-hand side, you will find an alley on your right-hand side. Get into the alleyway and look for a green ITH signage! We're about 100m into the alley on the left.
International Travellers' Hostel is like 5-7 minutes walking distance and 2 minutes drive away from Varanasi Junction Railway Station.
If you're flying into Varanasi:
Well, get out of the airport, and get a taxi to the above directed uni gate.

Arts programs across the country face funding shortfalls every day. The solution for some is to petition local leaders to support the arts.
But now a local group is taking a more playful approach. "Our old donation box was very little, very small, it wasn't very interactive," said Naomi Even-Aberle, the co-director of the art education department at Rapid City's Dahl Arts Center. "A tiny, four-inch by four-inch by four-inch cube that just said donate on it," added South Dakota School of Mines and Technology mechanical engineering instructor Jason Ash. The Dahl's former children's interactive gallery curator, Victoria Ledford, decided that needed to change. "With the name being interactive," Even-Aberle said, "Victoria felt we should have a donation box that reflected that." So with the help of five engineering students, three mechanical and two electrical, from SDSMT, the fusion of art and technology was born (and also served as their capstone project last year).From an artist's perspective, "The idea was to give a physical representation to the idea that technology and art together is a mix of two different art styles," Even-Aberle said. And from an engineer's perspective, "When you're designing products, they also have to be appealing to consumer as well," said Ash, "so art invariably gets inter-mixed along with that."
The inter-mixing also helps with fundraising: When you donate, your change goes into a Plinko board.
Get it through the center slot, and you get to launch a ball pinball-style through the upper half of the donation box. "Kids want to go put money in the machine and get it to work and turn on," said Billy Burke, a Sturgis father who brought his three kids to the Dahl and spent some time (and money) trying to get the ball to launch. "It's fun for the kids and definitely encouraged me to give money," agreed Rapid City mother Melanie Schoen. And it's already encouraging kids to find links between tech and art.
In a perfect demonstration of that connection, one child made a crayon rubbing of one of the slots on the new donation box while experimenting with different textures.
The Dahl hopes to raise between $300 and $500 this year with the new donation box.
All of that money will be pumped right back into programming for the children's gallery.

CATEGORIES MoviesLiam Neeson had to fight off more than just Arctic wolves this weekend; he also had to face the fearsome power of online group discounts. Nonetheless, Neeson's new chilly thriller, "The Grey," managed to debut atop the box office chart and earn as much as the next two new releases combined. Not too shabby, considering that both "One for the Money" and "Man on a Ledge" offered viewers discounted tickets through Groupon and Living Social, respectively.
Neeson has become a bankable action star lately ("Taken," "Unknown"), despite his rapidly approaching 60th birthday. Nonetheless, expecations for "The Grey" were modest (in the $14 to $18 million range), thanks to its R rating and its rookie distributor (Open Road, whose only previous film was last fall's underwhelming "Killer Elite"). Still, reviews were generally good, which means a lot to the older audiences that have made Neeson's recent bonecrunchers into hits. So the movie outperformed expectations and scared up an estimated $20.0 million. For the third consecutive winter, Neeson seems to own the frozen wasteland that is January and February moviegoing.
Last week's winner, "Underworld Awakening," slipped to second place with an estimated take of $12.5 million. That's a 51 percent drop from last week's business, which is not unusual for a big action blockbuster. Considering how thoroughly saturated the action market is this weekend (7 of the top 10 movies and 10 of the top 20 movies qualify), "Underworld" is actually holding up pretty well. Its total to date comes to $45.1 million.
Opening in third place, "One for the Money" debuted with an estimated $11.8 million, at the upper end of the $9 to $12 million range of pundits' predictions. Despite being based on a popular series of Janet Evanovich crime novels, expectations were modest, since the movie featured Katherine Heigl (a waning box office draw) stretching beyond romantic comedy, and since the film wasn't screened for critics (never a good sign). The Groupon experiment may have helped, however. Discounted tickets were offered for $6, which Groupon misleadingly touted as a 60 percent savings (only true if your tickets usually cost $15; the national average is about $8). It's not clear how many people bought the tickets -- the online coupon site indicated only that it sold more than 100,000 of them, which is pretty good. The first time Groupon tried this gambit, with last year's "The Lincoln Lawyer," it sold 200,000 tickets, but it wasn't competing against a similar simultaneous promotion involving another online coupon site selling discounted tickets.
LIke "Underworld," "Red Tails" lost about half (45 percent) of its first-week business, sliding two slots to fourth place with an estimated $10.4 million. Still, George Lucas's World War II aerial adventure has very strong word-of-mouth, so it could show some staying presence amid the current surplus of action movies. So far, it's earned $33.8 million.
Premiering at No. 5, crime drama "Man on a Ledge" opened with an estimated $8.3 million, which is about in the middle of the range of pre-weekend expectations ($7 to $10 million). Despite his starring roles in such hits as "Avatar," "Terminator Salvation," and "Clash of the Titans," Sam Worthington is not considered a box office draw (really, did you buy a ticket for any of those films because he was in them?). The Living Social promotion may have helped, but not much; the site says it sold just under 12,000 tickets. (Like Groupon, Living Social claimed the $6 discount price was saving you a lot of money, 54 percent, which is true only if your tickets usually cost $13.)
Several movies sought to take advantage of the so-called Oscar bounce from Tuesday's Academy Award nominations. "The Descendants," which has been in theaters for nearly three months, expanded from 560 theaters to 2,001 and saw business boosted 176 percent from last week, to an estimated $6.6 million, good for seventh place. Fellow Best Picture nominee "The Artist" added 235 theaters (for a total of 897) and saw business rise 40 percent, to an estimated $3.3 million, finishing at No. 12 for the weekend. "The Iron Lady" added 168 venues (for a total of 1,244), but it lost business (13 percent) and finished at No. 14 with an estimated $3.2 million.
