Our bones make snapping sounds like K'nex. Crack your knuckles out in space, and the bright pop of bone-on-bone at the joints is a plastic sound. An unnatural thing. We probably developed the entire concept of synthetics based on this whiplash snap alone. A flash of inspiration out of this alien thing that lives in our fingers, our toes, the necks and spines of us. Maybe a knee sometimes. All full of plastic polymers cracking back and forth like interlocked Legos.
I like to imagine people as the bendable puppets with the wooden ball joints. Swiveling wrists and hips and ankles, posed. Bodies are funny things like that. The bits and stuff of hair and clay made of the same bits and stuff as the Earth – all Frankensteined up and set loose to do things on our alien planet with plastics. Like painting and music and – oh, hey – maybe some basketball. That's a plastic thing on the Earth that people seem to like quite a bit much in these parts. There's also a book involved.
Tonight, minding the smattering of sky fluff on the ground, author Keith O'Brien will present his new book, Outside Shot: Big Dreams, Hard Times, and One County's Quest for Basketball Greatness, at The Summit location of Barnes & Noble. A book that doesn't have absolutely anything to do with ruminations on plastic and cracked knuckles, O'Brien's story has everything to do with the journey of the Scott County Cardinals, chronicling the tumultuous ride of the 2009 boys basketball team.
Starting at 7pm, you can join your joints up with O'Brien for a special reading and signing of Outside Shot. Put on all your bits and stuff to keep your own bits and stuff cozy and head out to for a spell to talk basketball in all its beauty of funny moving bodies and synthetics.
The Summit location of Barnes & Noble is located at 4100 Summit Plaza Drive. For more information, call (502) 327-0410.

... at once and I felt totally relaxed and possibly just begining to wonder what was over the next hill.
We are now back at our recently acquired home in Eastbourne, close to our latest grandson and family. The Canaries trip proved a good test for further trips but I'm told the need for realism in planning a more appealing and adventurist journey is needed; such realism restricts my instincts.As you all know dreams can come true and occasionally do.
A little piece of paradise.
... creatures and seeing them in the wild is a completely different experience from seeing them at Sea World. Not that I'm knocking Sea World, I am just saying. So I have tons of video that I am going to put up here and you can see the whales and dolphins too. I will warn you that you have to wade through a bit of nothing at the beginning to find it. Just fast forward a bit and you will find them. I got so really good shots of the mother and baby ...
Tourist-ing Out in Tenerife
... El Ray as we drove up to the volcanic summit of the island called El Teide. It was a pretty fun road full of switchbacks that took us through every conceivable landscape from rainforest to snow to pine trees to mists so thick you couldn't see ten feet down the road. Wednesday found us going for a pirate ship ride from Las Americas to Los Gigantes, the huge cliffs on the western side of the island that rise straight up 600 meters from the sea. It was a fun ride and Mike even went ...
Hop On Hop Off Santa Cruz
Our next shore stop was Santa Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands.
This is a major big city. While the island of Lanzarote is around 140,000, Santa Cruz on the island of Tenerife is over 200,000 people alone. Again, the modern city structures are unbelievable since all of the products to build had to be shipped in. This is a major port for these islands with many container ships sitting off shore waiting to be unloaded. We watched ...
Bye Bye Beautiful Braemar
When we got up this morning after another rough night at sea we were right back where we started from, in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Some other lucky people would be in cabin 7050 tonight, just starting their cruise, whereas for us our holiday is finished. :-(
At the end of each voyage every passenger receives a copy of the Cruise Log and we eagerly looked to see how many nautical miles the Braemar had sailed this trip. I have ...

Sample Reviews
After calling the company who put in our entry gate multiple times I decided to try someone else. mother board they came out a second time to try and change a setting so we could at least keep the gate open manually until the mother board came. While here they were able to fix it completely and we didn't need the mother board. They were great people to work with. I will and would use them again
How did it go? Horribly. Everything was extremely slow, communication was poor, didn't listen to our requests, and the end result was disappointing relative to the price and time spent on the project. Treated us as if they were doing us a favor working with us.
The quote process went ok. Estimator showed on time (took a week) and a quote was delivered within the time stated (another week). Implementation was an issue and has never been installed.
it was agreed for a certain date to do the fence removal so that other professionals could do their work - did
it was agreed for a certain date to do the fence removal so that other professionals could do their work - did
It went very well. My wife and I were very pleased with the service that They didn't pressure us to let them remove the siding so that they can charge us more. We had an air conditioner in one of the windows that was replaced.
This wasn't my first fence rodeo. This company provided awesome results on a difficult hill. Company has integrity with a capital I. Had to reset some of the original metal posts before replacing two gates and back lot line fencing. I will use them again on another property.
Enjoyed the experience. ...More />
Highly recommend.
The quality rating above is an average: the steps get a B and the walkway an F I hired D' it got too cold to work. D'
When I decided to have a driveway gate installed, Angie's list was the place I started researching. The he showed up to install the support posts. He doesn't go to the proposed sight to give bids but rather encourages potential customers to go to his web sight, automaticgatecompany.com to view different designs and options. He has hundreds of pictures of previous installs for you to view. After looking at the website, I decided to go to his facility here in Houston to meet with him (by appointment) and see his operation just to make sure I would be getting a quality product and we were on the same page as to what I wanted.. His years of experience paid off with gate recommendations I may not have thought of on my own. I was very impressed with his operation and his forthright admission that he was running about 6 weeks behind. He hand builds each gate himself after it has been ordered. He makes no promises he can't keep and doesn't mislead you about how long it will take. My driveway has a slight incline leading to the garage and I was told by another installer, giving me a bid, that the gate had to swing out toward the street because of that. I did not want it to swing outward, so when I talked to
We think we're the best, and we can prove it.

Wildlife is on the move after the Great Flood of 2011 and it's not just woodland animals moving around.
Rising water along the Mississippi is pushing alligators out of the bayous.
Don Hynum is an alligator hunter, licensed by the State of Mississippi to capture problem gators. He says business is brisk, thanks to the flood.
A heavy duty hook and fishing pole, a harpoon and a snare are all the tools of his trade.
A rubber band made out of an inner tube secures an alligator's deadly jaws.
"Their muscles are really weak opening their mouth. You can hold it closed with your hand. But they have like 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch worth of biting force on a 10-foot gator," said Hynum.
Hynum doesn't find every nuisance gator, but he is looking.

reviews & comments (120)
Excellent recipe...I used regular yellow onions instead of red; 1 small can (4 oz?) chopped green chilis in place of jalapenos; added 1 tblsp allspice; hot Hungarian paprika in place of sweet; and Mexican chili beans AND the juice in place of red beans. I also drained off most of the fat before adding the spices, etc...but I left a little for flavor. To stretch further, I served over hot buttered macaroni. My father-in-law loved it!
I read others reviews and made some changes that resulted in a smoky chili with a kick. I used half ground beef and half chorizo sausage taken out of the casing. Instead of jalepenos I used smoked chipotles in adobo sauce to taste. Also, used a bottle dark beer instead of beef broth. Turned out hearty, spicy and perfect for a cold rainy night.
This was GREAT old fashioned chili! I substituted 1lb of pork for the beef just to mix it up a bit. I also added a bit of cayenne for additional heat. I'll definitely make this again and again and again!
I am not sure how this recipe has a high rating for its low flavor. I had to add pretty much everything to produce a well balanced chili flavor. I like a tomato sauce base for chili, which this did not have.
Delicious chili, though I'm afraid I won't be able to replicate what I made. I added a can of beer and some bullion cubes instead of the broth, a pinch of nutmeg and curry powder, a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa, a dried chipotle chile chopped up... This is a good basic recipe that you can doctor up.
excellent, excellent chili. it doesn't try to be anything fancier than it is. i replace 1 pound of the beef with ground pork(the fat from the pork adds a lot of flavor), and splash a little cayenne in there.
Very easy and meaty. I added 1 teaspoon of cayenne to the chili for some heat. My kids loved it, and they are picky eaters! Highly recommended! (Great over elbow macaroni or mashed potatoes!)

War on the streets of Johannesburg?
"CITY OF BLOOD", screams the front page headline of "The Citizen" today. Could this South African newspaper be referring to Baghdad?
Police fire tear gas on the outskirts of Johannesburg
Or perhaps "The Citizen" has developed a sudden interest in Sudan from where I've just returned. No, it's talking about Johannesburg. According to "The Citizen", I live in a "war zone".
"Johannesburg's streets are tainted with blood as one scene of violence follows the next", reads the paper's lead story. "The city has seen several vicious shootouts in the past week which have left residents living in fear with the bloody streets resembling a war zone."
Blimey! The South African press, always prone to a "cops and robbers" approach to crime stories, has worked itself into a frenzy over a series of shootouts in Johannesburg this week.
The first gun battle took place on Sunday afternoon and left 12 dead -Â four cops and eight robbers. Usually, no-one takes much notice when police officers are murdered here, but losing four in an afternoon is a tragedy even by South African standards.
Then on Monday, "The Citizen" reports with grim satisfaction that cops shot three robbers, killing one and wounding two. On Tuesday, "The Citizen" tells me that cops accounted for another robber, killing him during a high speed chase.
So this has been a bad week for Johannesburg. But does this really make the city a war zone? As a foreigner, there are two things that strike me most about South Africa and crime:
1. It really is as bad as you think. My house in the leafy suburb of Melville resembles a fortress. I live behind a 10ft wall topped with a 10,000 volt electric fence. There are iron bars over all my windows and doors. I have an alarm system of bewildering complexity which not only makes a terrible racket but also summons an "armed response unit" to deal with any intruder (They would probably kill him but I try not to think about that). I even have infra-red beams in my garden. And I'm not paranoid. This is all standard stuff.
2. South Africans cannot have a sensible national debate about criminal justice policy. All I hear is empty rhetoric and hyperbole. "The Citizen" screams about Johannesburg becoming a "war zone". The government argues that embittered white people are exaggerating everything (The authorities were very proud when the annual toll of murders dipped below 20,000. Britain, with a population almost 50 per cent greater than South Africa, has about 800 murders a year). Charles Nqakula, the hilarious minister for "safety and security" recently accused his critics of "whinging" about crime.
So everyone mouths platitudes and slogans and nothing gets done. Meanwhile, 19,824 South Africans were murdered in 2004.

Can people with diabetes eat miracle whip?
I'm making a salad and I'm trying to make it diabetic friendly.It has 1 gram of sugar per tablespoon.
Posted 3 years ago in Other by HTMLFluffer
Why would you ever think something without sugar in it is diabetic unfriendly!!! Diabetics can eat any thing they dang well wish to, they just have to be judicious in their serving portions.Do not bother trying to make any food "diabetic friendly" because most of us when eating out or else where than our own kitchens make allowances in our medications and grams of carbohydrates to have a small taste of everything on the buffet or pot luck table.The doctors and all who are not diabetic, say to limit fats and salt, but they have nothing to do with diabetes. Rather they have maybe something to do with heart disease. I say maybe because there has been no difference in the percentage of heart patients in more than 50 years of not eating fats and salt.Make your salad the way you always do! Your friend can or may not eat it, depending on what else there is to eat.
I agree with Miz Lamb.Also I was wondering what else you planned to put in your 'diabetes-friendly' salad. Anything with pasta, rice, potatoes, bread will spike blood sugar.To me, a diabetes-friendly salad would have non-starchy vegetables and flavourful deli meats/cheese/olives. Fats do not raise blood sugar so I would have with it a nice home-made dressing made with good olive oil.
What is Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is when the body does not make enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone that helps your body convert food into energy. Without insulin, glucose (sugar) from the food you eat cannot enter cells. So glucose builds up in the blood. Your body tissue becomes starved for energy.
Type 1 diabetes usually begins in children and young adults. Over the long-term, if type 1 diabetes is not adequately treated, high blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels, heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and other tissues or organs.

William Lamb is a well noted and respected Scottish artist, who was totally committed to his work. Although he injured his right hand in World War I he did not let this deter him in his pursuit as an artist, he went off and learnt to draw with his left hand. He drew inspiration from the local people, culture and landscape, and this is evident in many pieces of his work. The building that served as his studio between 1934 to 1951 now showcases a great collection of his work. The studio is pretty much as it looked when he died so you get a true feel of how he worked and lived. On display here are sculptures, prints, etchings, drawings in addition to his tools in the workroom and his living room that is furnished with his individual-styled furniture. Some of the prominent pieces on display here are the model portrait heads of Princess Elizabeth and Margaret Rose that Lamb was commissioned to do by the Duchess of York, so pleased was she with his skills that she also commissioned Lamb to create a portrait of herself. The studio is open to the public throughout the summer months, entry at other times can be arranged with the curator of Montrose Museum. The staff at the museum are friendly and knowledgeable and more than willingly to chat about the artist and his work. Whether you are an artist, art lover or not you can't help but be impressed and enthralled by the work of William Lamb, a fascinating and insightful experience.

Reviewed: 26 August 2014 by alibnmimi
Received this product from Lovehoney in the usual plain packaging, but the labelling on the bottle gives it that air of classiness and quality.
Upon opening the bottle you are presented with a 'Chocolate Orange' scent that develops into a vanilla scent which lingers on. However, the vanilla is not sickly or overpowering.
One application will allow you to get into all those tight corners without needing to re-apply. It is fairly thick when first poured from the bottle, but spreads, and spreads, and spreads, and doesn't leave a tackiness or oily feeling on the skin when you are done. In fact, it leaves the skin feeling moisturised and soft.
Being made of natural products makes you feel comfortable that it is good for you, and it sure does leave you feeling silky.
All in all, we find this product good value, and a lot better than other gels and massage products we have tried before.
- Pros
- A little spreads, and when you are finished massaging, your skin feels good.
- Cons
- Nothing at all.
- Bottom line
- Luxury product that adds zest to the experience.

Super smooth and great smelling
Reviewed: 23 August 2014 by zippo, a Straight Engaged Male
This was the first massage oil we have tried for a long time as my girlfriend is usually allergic to them. This being a natural product, it looked promising.
It came super quick as always, in really great designed packaging, with a small leaflet inside detailing the rest of the range. The bottle was much bigger than I imagined, and looked good value.
We gave it go, lit some candles and put some music on. I gave my girlfriend a full massage all over, being fairly generous with the amount I used. The first thing we noticed was the gorgeous smell, which we both thought smelled like chocolate orange, and the fact that when you used it, the whole room smelled lovely.
It really is lovely to use as my hands glided effortlessly across her body, and she loved it too.
The oil goes a long way and is fairly thick. It seems to warm the skin on contact, which we thought was really good, and would make a nice massage on a chilly night.
After the massage and a bit of fun, my girlfriend was not having any allergic effects at all, which is great. She smelled gorgeous and felt silky smooth even after a shower. The next morning we both noticed how smooth her skin was, and my hands felt really soft. We thought we had used loads, but checked next morning and the bottle still looks nearly full, so this will go a long way and last a long time.
An excellent rating all round, and we will definitely be using this again and again.
- Pros
- The smell and feel of it and the fact it is natural.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- The best massage oil we have tried, and the best smelling.

Smells good enough to eat
Reviewed: 21 August 2014 by butterflybee, a Straight Single Female
I already have a number of products from the Swoon range, so I was excited to receive this as a tester product.
As with all of the Swoon products, the packaging follows a vintage theme and is very appealing. It definitely draws your eye and makes you want to know more about the product. The packaging is also very classy and looks expensive; you know you're getting a quality product!
The lid of the bottle is great as, even when open, the oil will not leak out unless you squeeze or shake the bottle.
I decided to first have a quick sniff and it really does smell almost good enough to eat! You get a whiff of vanilla first and then you get the pleasant tanginess of the orange; delicious!
It feels amazing on your skin, and although it is a tiny bit greasy (to be expected with massage oil), it is definitely not overly greasy and rubs into the skin very well. You are left with amazingly soft skin, with a lovely sheen; my skin was noticeably softer after using it! I also found that it did not aggravate my sensitive skin one bit.
You do not need to use much of the oil at all, a little bit really does go a long way! You can be quite forceful with your massage (if that's what you like) and you will not feel any dragging, pulling, or friction. It allows hands to just slide over your skin with ease.
A huge huge plus of this product for me, is that it is made with all natural ingredients, is vegan friendly, and is not tested on animals! It also contains vitamin E so is great for the skin. Unfortunately it is not safe for use with latex condoms, so please be aware of this.
I think that this is probably one of the best massage oils I have used and I will be buying more when it runs out!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone, especially those who prefer to purchase products that are vegan and animal friendly!
It smells amazing, feels amazing, and leaves you feeling so relaxed - what more could you ask for?
- Pros
- Smells delicious! Leaves you with beautifully soft skin.
- Cons
- Nothing at all!
- Bottom line
- A lovely massage oil that smells fab and is vegan and animal friendly! Perfect!

Valerie Galloway was born in France, to an American father and a French mother, and has lived many places, including: France, Germany, Hawaii, California, Maryland, New York City, and currently in Tucson, Arizona. While in New York City she worked in Advertising and Fashion Photography as a studio manager and producer of still life photo shoots. Ms. Galloway has a BFA in photography from the University of Arizona, though drawing and painting were always her first loves. She is influenced by old family photos, especially ones of her French mother and aunt, who always looked so glamourous with their fabulous 1960's hairdos. She's also influenced by French New Wave cinema, and old American TV shows from the 1960's and 70's. Recently Valerie has been incorporating vintage clippings from old French dictionaries, which she is exploring further.
Patricia Katchur grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and received a BFA in Fine Art Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. Growing up in Pittsburgh she says - against the the backdrop of smoky, steel mills of a dying, industrial era - was a visual feast. In contrast, the picturesque landscape of trees, rolling fields and atmospheric weather exposed the natural world in a way that still lights a fire in my heart. A strange beauty co-existed in both these natural and unnatural worlds.She spent her junior-year-abroad based out of Salzburg, Austria, studying art history and travelling across the Europe. Tucson has twice been home. She spent her first first 6 years in Tucson straight out of college. Initially, the Sonoran desert was uninvitingly harsh and abrasive. But the desert is bewitching, and once one understands its conflicting beauty, it never lets go.Patricia's motto is "I love a challenge and hate failure.I follow my instincts.I'm not afraid of change."Her career has been a blend of art, commerce and collaborations including restaurant work, movie production, organizing events & exhibitions, co-founding a historic photo process workshop organization and co-owning and managing a custom black & white photo lab in NYC. Patricia is currently the Proprietress of Yikes Toys! in Tucson.
The YW in Southern Arizona has been an incubator for change for almost 100 years. We connect and empower change agents who have the vision and desire to make a difference in their own lives and in the public square. The Galleria at the YW is a key part of the community happening here. It is a great new downtown venue for art. But it is more than that. The artists we are inviting into The Galleria are doing something important. Their work is making us think. It's giving us something to talk about, making us wonder, sometimes making us angry and sometimes making us laugh, but always making us hope. These artists are mostly women, but not always. They are exploring themes that connect to our mission of eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. They give us a reason to gather. And you just never know what might happen after that.
Make a difference...for yourself, for our community.

Let's Get A Little Philosophical: how Does Your Approach to Life Itself Inform Your Approach to Technology?
I recently realized something about myself and gadgets - I am incredibly negative about the things I use. I buy a shiny new toy, fall in love, and then proceed to be an obnoxious ass about every little thing I don't like. I don't think it's an overall negative trait, bitching is an excellent way to discover what you want, but it is the product of my particular worldview. I think that I will, eventually, die and never come back. I want to spend as much time as possible doing things I enjoy. Because of that I simply cannot stand it when an otherwise solid gizmo fails. I want perfection because I hate wasting a precious moment clicking away Clippy or watching a Fake Mahogany bookshelf rotate. I want the tools I use and the toys I play with to add to the (hopefully) rich tapestry of my short life, not detract from it. I didn't meant to start of on too serious serious a note, but that is how I would answer my question. What has everybody else got?

Diana walks in on Cassie in her room as she's looking over an attraction spell. She wants to bring Jake back to town. Sure, he's a witch hunter, but he risked his life for her and Adam and he knows about dark magic. Diana just insists that Cassie stay with her until Jane gets home, which she should have done a while ago, right?
Meanwhile, at the abandoned house, Faye shows Melissa a page she tore out of Cassie's Book of Shadows. She reckons that the magic being practiced in the spell is different than what the others practice. And, she thinks maybe part of what's different about it is that you can do it alone. She thinks the botanical nature of the spell may be the secret. I can't believe she would make that leap, but whatever. She shows Melissa a website that she found when she googled "Voodoo Botanica 50-mile radius of Chance Harbor," I shit you not. It belongs to fancily named Lee LeBeque.
Diana introduces Cassie to Dee Dee, who realizes who she is when she shakes her hand. They're about to sit down for dinner when Dawn arrives. She gives Charlie a big kiss and invites herself for dinner. At dinner, Dawn pours some wine for Dee Dee but Charles pours it out. His excuse is that he saw some cork in the glass. That's the most organic thing that has happened on this whole series. Dawn follows him into the kitchen and says that she's not trying to kill Dee Dee. Whatever.
Melissa and Faye go to some ranch-style home outside of town and are about to leave because they just can't imagine that spell-brewing happens inside, when the hottie who played Hastings on Friday Night Lights answers the door. Buy whatever he's selling. That's my advice. Faye tells him that she wants a consultation. He's about to take them to his garage and Faye flips because she finds that unprofessional. They tell him that they need help with a spell. They show him the page from the Book of Shadows and he tells them that it's dangerous.
Diana and Cassie are getting ready for bed when Adam shows up. He apologizes to Cassie for telling Diana about her dark magic. And, he says that everyone should know about what's going on with her and it's probably not that big of a deal. Then, he leaves. He couldn't have just waited until the next day?
At Lee's he does this spell that is supposed to help Faye tap into her powers. He does some chanting, then begins to unbutton her jacket, which Melissa stops. But Faye takes it off herself and he traces a start on her chest with some blood-colored liquid. He tells her to give the spell until tomorrow and she should think about something that she really wants. Then they leave.

When I give to charity it is because I think it is a worthwhile contribution of my money. When government takes my money and gives it to a program they consider worthy (which I personally may object to . or not) that is called "a stick up". People used to go to jail for that.
