Howdy folks.
This is the inaugural edition of what I hope becomes a weekly staple here on the best Steelers blog on the intrawebs.
Here goes...
As Neal mentioned in an earlier posting, Pro Bowl voting is open. At the midway point of the season, we're expected to vote for the top performing players in the league? How many votes do you think Troy's going to get, having only played in two games so far, and not complete ones at that? Ben is, of course, on the ballot, but that should come as no surprise to any of us here in Steeler Nation. He's been having the best (statistical) year of his career. So far...
Which segue's us into...The O-Line. (Like how I did that? ;P) Holy crap did they look good last week! Mike Adams, welcome to the NFL kid. Legursky...Oh how I love eating my words when players outperform my expectations so well. It looked like Pouncey put on Legs' # and went out and dominated like usual. How about that Willie Colon? Huh? He was trying to bury the undrafted rookie. I'm surprised Burfict didn't have turf burns on his ass after that takedown. I'll repost the GIF because it's just so damn funny.
Ike Taylor....I see you man. I know you say I can't see you, but I have Pimp-Ray vision, and you, sir, were pimpin' dat ho Green all...day...long. I just hope that wasn't a fluke, and you've got your head back on straight. If you have, I must say you sure took your sweet-ass time doing it. Keenan Lewis...You have a little ways to go before you reach the Pro Bowl. In fact, I'm not even sure you're on the ballot. Wouldn't surprise me if you were left off, since we all know the Steelers secondary is terrible if Troy's not in there...
Jonathan Dwyer. You just got recognized, kid. Welcome back. I was hopeful for you, but you far exceeded my expectations last Sunday. Too bad CJ2YPC and another RB, who's name escapes me (I think he's the guy in purple who trucked Willie Gay in a losing effort by a geriatric led team a couple years ago) had monster days, or you would've been in the running for the Fed Ex Ground player. You were beasting, kid. Glad to have you.
Alright, on to the rest of the league (kinda).
Ratbirds got fined by the league for not reporting an Ed Reed injury. I feel it should have definitely been more than 20k. Teams game plan against Reed the way they do against Troy, and that's really messed up that they wouldn't allow the opposing team to change their plan against a secondary without this guy..
London Fletcher looks to keep his Ironman streak alive this Sunday. Had full participation in practice today, which usually means participation in the next game. I, for one, am glad he'll be playing. Gotta respect a warrior like that, even though I hope he plays like crap all day. (Sorry, Hogs fans)
Cleveland won a game!!! You want to know the best part? They beat the Bungholes! I seriously couldn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes when I saw that. It seemed like every talking head had dubbed the bungles as AFC North champions during pre-season. I wonder if any of them will ever actually acknowledge that fact when they're tied at the bottom of the North with the Skidmarks. LOL!
Onward to the picks! (Winners in BOLD)
CHICAGO over Carolina. sCam Newton looks like a bigger crybaby than Philip Rivers and Jay Cutler combined.
CLEVELAND over San Diego. Mainly because I hate Philip Rivers.
SEATTLE over Detroit. How have the Lions fallen so far? Seattle's "Legion of Boom" is terrifying...
GREEN BAY over Jacksonville. The Jags are terrible, and I don't see them turning it around against the Packers...
MIAMI over NYJ. I hate the New Jersey Jets, and Miami doesn't look as horrid as I thought they would.
PHILLY over Atlanta. No real reason for this, just think Vick could have a good day against his old team.
PITTSBURGH over Washington. Shouldn't have to explain this. I'm a homer, what can I say?
NEW ENGLAND over St. Louis. The over the pond battle...I hate the cheaters, but I just don't think Bradford can beat them.
INDIANA over Tennessee. Not sure why. I just think Luck will dismantle the Ten Teeth Tits, and CJ2YPC will go back to his normal, mediocre self this week.
KANSAS CITY over Oakland. Brady Quinn better than Matt Cassel? Uh, okay...But, I think that might just be the spark that puts the Chefs over CP9 and them RRRRRRRRRaiders.
NYG over Dallas. Hate the Cowboys. I would be the happiest man in the world if the cowporks would become the second team to have a 0-16 season. Besides, Giants own the cowgirls.
DENVER over New Orleans. That OTHER black and gold team hasn't put together a single complete phase of a game all season. Stick a fork in them.
SAN FRANCISCO over Arizona. The forty-whiners and their crybaby bitch of a coach are looking like a juggernaut this year. @yaaaay@
What I'm looking for on Sunday:
Ben to light up that horrific Redskins defense.
Jonathan Dwyer to light up that horrific Redskins defense.
The O-line to light up that horrific Redskins defense.
Deebo and Woodley to each get at least a half sack.
Keenan Lewis to get a pick.
Rainey to look like we expected him to be right after the draft.
Well, that's about it folks. Go ahead and ramble back at me with agreements, rebuttals, and your picks of the week.
I'll leave you guys with something to laugh at:
Go Steelers!

METHUEN — Two men were charged with attempted murder over the weekend in separate domestic incidents in which they were accused of choking women.
Adrian Rodriguez, 27, 141 May St., Lawrence, was arrested Saturday at 6:44 a.m. on Chase Street and charged with attempted murder, trafficking in heroin, illegal possession of ammunition, possession of a class B substance with intent to distribute, assault and battery,
Methuen Police Lt. Michael Wnek said officers responded to a report of a domestic incident at 70 Broadway Saturday morning. Police believe Rodriguez strangled the woman. Officers reported seeing bruises on her neck, according to the report.
Officers found Rodriguez a short time later on Chase Street and arrested him. He was wearing a backpack that police said contained ammunition, 52 grams of heroin, 2.8 grams of cocaine and plastic bags typically used to pack and sell drugs.
According to Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett's office, Rodriguez was arraigned Monday and held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Friday.
On Sunday morning, police arrested Reggie O. Torres, 32, 41 Delmont St., at his home and charged him with attempted murder and domestic assault and battery.
Police responded to a report of a domestic dispute at 5:18 a.m. A woman in the house told police Torres put her in a choke hold, with her neck between his bicep and forearm, and slapped her during the dispute, according to the report.
Torres was arraigned Monday, as well. He was ordered held on $1,000 cash bail and to stay away from and have no contact with the victim, according to Blodgett spokeswoman Carrie Kimball Monahan. His next court date is for a bench trial on July 3.

This video is a little longer than usual because I wanted to take some time at the end to show you some of our open trades which should give you some insight into how we do things and how we manage risk.
I said Friday that we could get a little retracement in our correlating assets - the Japanese Yen (FXY) and bonds (TLT), which in turn could have put a little pressure on the markets. Well we did get a little move up in bonds and some sideways action in the Yen, but that did nothing to stop the indexes from going higher. Tonight we will take a look at a key resistance level we are approaching in the SPX and we will take a look at the market action by looking at the SPY, TLT, FXY and QQQ.

I am trying to convert pixel sizes to physical sizes using QtMobility.systeminfo version 1.2. Assuming DPI really means PPI, this may be done using DisplayInfo.dpiHeight and DisplayInfo.dpiWidth but I cant get it to work.
On N950, both are 96 DPI. This would mean that the N950 screen is 9x5 inches large (i.e. 854 / 96 x 480 / 96) which is obviously wrong. So my question is: am I interpreting the whole DPI thing incorrectly or have I encountered a bug in QtMobility.systeminfo?
Thank you in advance, Tubeman
(which is by the way not about drugs, but a combination of Caveman and tube [i.e. the Internet] )

As a child I remember being mortified by my mother. She always got what she wanted, and as her daughter, I remember how embarrassing it would be when she would (loudly) assert her opinion at school. Of course, I was the beneficiary of her strong will on more occasions than I can count. Understanding my mother and my reluctance to become like her helps to explain why dealing strongly and confidently with schools came a little slowly to me. James has been to three different public schools despite the fact that he is only just starting third grade and that he had been homeschooled for two years. I'm finally understanding why my mother took the approach that she did all those years ago -- it works! Now let me share with you a few things I've picked up in my numerous associations with public schools.
I've become much more assertive as my child has progressed through elementary school, becoming more like my own mother than I had ever expected. I have to say, though, that she knew what she was doing. Firmness and consistency seem to be appreciated by the school staff. They know what I expect from them, and they know what to expect from me, so we'll have a great year!
About the author: My name is Jennifer, and I live in Southern California with my husband, Craig, and our three boys. Our oldest son James has been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I'm thankful for this opportunity -- along with my sister-in-law Kim and her daughter Kaitlyn, who also has type 1 diabetes -- to share our struggles and triumphs with our friends in the diabetes community.
Disclaimer: The experiences and suggestions recounted in these articles are not intended as medical advice, and they are not necessarily the "typical" experiences of families with a child who has type 1 diabetes. These situations are unique to the families depicted. Families should check with their healthcare professionals regarding the treatment of type 1 diabetes and the frequency of blood glucose monitoring.

What are the Ingredients? Mineral Oil and Fragrance.
Is Mineral Oil Bad for My Skin? Despite what you might read, mineral oil is safe for your skin. Skin care expert, known as The Cosmetics Cop, Paula Begoun, is a fan of Mineral Oil and scoffs at people who scorn it. "This recurring, foolish, misinformation about mineral oil and petrolatum is maddening. After all, crude oil is as natural as any other earth-derived substance. Moreover, lots of ingredients are derived from awful-sounding sources, but are nevertheless benign and totally safe." (read more of her thoughts on Mineral Oil)
Mineral oil is regulated by the FDA and is highly refined and purified - completely safe to use on your skin. In fact, it is known as one of the best moisturizers you can use.
Why the Bad Rep? If you do a little Google search, you'll find horror stories and scary information about mineral oil in page after page. False claims that mineral oil clogs pores (it doesn't, but should be avoided if you have overly oily skin), causes premature aging and even causes cancer. False, false, false. Don't believe us? Check out this two-part series on Mineral Oil from The Beauty Brains. (Here are some more myths you might be falling for.)
What about Vaseline? We talked with Dermatologist Helen Torok, Medical Director at Trillium Creek Dermatology, and she was happy to respond with her thoughts on petrolatum. In short - she routinely recommends her patients use it whenever they have skin irritations. Here are some more of her thoughts on petrolatum. (aka: Vaseline)
What Consumers are Saying About Baby Oil: If you do a little digging at online reviews of baby oil, you'll find they are very high. At Makeupalley.com, it has a 4.8 out of 5 stars and 94% of people would purchase again.
Bottom Line: Baby Oil (Mineral Oil) is safe, effective, reasonably priced and something that is recommended by skin care professionals on a regular basis. Apply to damp skin after your shower or bath to seal in the moisture. Great for dry skin.

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design.
If you absolutely must have a phone with an optical zoom, the K Zoom is basically your only option. It's bulky though, and the pictures it takes aren't any better than the Galaxy S5's. You'll be far better off with a cheap Android phone and a decent compact digital camera.
Although it offers pedestrian picture quality for the price, the Samsung UNH6400 has a wonderful remote, a full feature set, and very sleek design.
Despite picture quality that's just average, the Samsung UNH6350's high-end features and design for a midrange price will win plenty of converts.
The Samsung Smart Camera WB350F is a good package if you want to add an affordable long-zoom point-and-shoot to supplement your smartphone photography.
Despite excellent all-around picture quality, the Samsung UNF9000 4K TV offers almost no improvement over cheaper 1080p TVs that cost much less.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
While it doesn't offer much to distinguish itself from other Android tablets, the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook is a decent 7-inch tablet at an affordable price.
The Samsung F7100 series offers a gorgeous design and impressive features, but "just OK" picture quality makes it a poorer value than its rivals.
The company's new camera is intended to give casual photographers better photo quality than a phone, but interchangeable lenses may not be the way to go.

Super Songwriter Jeff Maddox Scores Big In NMW Hot Country Singles Chart
PR Log
- Apr 03, 2012 - Beverly Hills-Nashville-New York - Country singer Jeff Maddox is batting a thousand with his record label and new found chart success in country music. Maddox is a man so handsome that he should be in the movies with Brad Pitt and others, but the quiet unassuming songwriter still lives in Pearl, Mississippi with his wife and two sons. *See
Lindsey Maddox (no relation) who is a local newsperson that has followed Jeff's career in country music writes, "The journey to the debut album entitled 'That's What Love Does' is anything but traditional." Maddox started playing the guitar a decade ago. He was heavily influenced by the work of Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash. But it was folk hero John Prine and pop musician Jimmy Buffet who inspired Maddox to try songwriting.
In 2006, Maddox solicited a friend, Rick Ottis to help record a demo "just for the fun of it." The ten song project wound up in a label that didn't quite fit the style of Maddox's music and in 2011 he signed a new record deal with Platinum Plus International that is distributed by The Orchard in New York. Since the new music deal and his guidance from veteran hit maker Robert Metzgar, Jeff Maddox has had real songwriting and artistic success both in the national charts and in person. His current single "Like I Need You" is published by Sony ATV Songs, the number one country publisher of hit songs in country music for the last 29 years. *See www.sonymusic.com
Listening to Maddox speak about his songwriting, his unconventional route makes sense. He is thoughtful, honest and open to the opinions of others. His ideas about songwriting demonstrate a measured approach to his career. After his first top 10 Hot Country Single peaked last month, his label has released the second brand new single from the "That's What Love Does" album project. Jeff's album project can be purchased immediately at any of the large online retailers of country music. Buy it at iTunes.com or Amazon.com or at
The album project was produced by legendary session player Gary Branchaud. Mr. Branchaud as a bassist played on some of the greatest hit records in history for Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Charlie Daniels. Maddox credits Branchaud for fostering a more organic country sound that is true to the roots of country music but infused with gospel, folk and Maddox's rock heritage. The sixteen tracks will "knock your hat in the creek" according to Metzgar who arranged the label deal and got the distribution in New York. *See
Maddox is represented in New York by one of it's finest entertainment law firms. Jeffrey Jacobson, Esq. and his firm have represented the most prominent stars in the music business. After Maddox scored his first Top-40 single and while it was still on it's way into the top 10, Mr. Jacobson agreed to represent Jeff Maddox in seeking a major record deal. All four of the majors, Universal, Warner, Sony, & EMI have strong interest in Mr. Maddox's incredible songwriting skills. A larger even more prominent deal is currently in the works and it has been the guidance and help that his current management team has given that has led the way into these negotiations. Mr. Maddox's highly anticipated negotiations are ongoing as we go to press.
"My job as a songwriter is to be patient and after engaging the right people, let them do their job and I'll continue to perform, write and be the person that I am." Maddox often thinks about moving to Nashville. However, in the process of helping his two boys with their homework, he also thinks about his family and wants to keep them in a stable enviornment. Mr. Metzgar advises me to always put my family first. Jeff's dad and mother are often there for him, backing his talent. Occasionally his father Archie will call Mr. Metzgar to see how his son is doing. *See www.robertmetzgar.com
Mr. Metzgar tells him on Tuesdays when the charts are posted, "Mr. Maddox, Jeff has gained another few hundred spins at radio stations and we're on this record for another week." That promotion broke a NMW record last year when the song "Take It From Me" stayed in the charts nationally for a little over a year. "This week the new single has its debut in the national charts and it looks like I'll be talking to Mr. Maddox every Tuesday again for another year," Mr. Metzgar said with confidence. With a team like ours behind you, you can't fail. For all the ongoing success of the Jeff Maddox songwriting career, consult with the following:

U.S. Postal Service:
Mail Processing Network Initiatives Progressing, and Guidance for Consolidating Area Mail Processing Operations Being Followed
GAO-10-731: Published: Jun 16, 2010. Publicly Released: Jun 16, 2010.

Deteriorating financial conditions and declining mail volume have reinforced the need for the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to increase operational efficiency and reduce expenses in its mail processing network. This network consists of interdependent functions in nearly 600 facilities. USPS developed several initiatives to reduce costs and increase efficiency; however, moving forward on some initiatives has been challenging because of the complexities involved in consolidating operations. In response to a conference report directive, GAO assessed (1) the overall status and results of USPS's efforts to realign its mail processing network and (2) the extent to which USPS has consistently followed its guidance and applied these criteria in reviewing Area Mail Processing (AMP) proposals for consolidation since the beginning of fiscal year 2009. To conduct this assessment, GAO reviewed USPS's Network Plan, area mail processing consolidation guidance and proposals as well as other documents; compared USPS's actions related to consolidation of area mail processing facilities with its guidance, and interviewed officials from USPS, the USPS Office of Inspector General, and employee organizations. GAO provided USPS with a draft of this report for comment. In response, USPS provided technical comments that were incorporated where appropriate.
USPS has realigned parts of its mail processing network since the beginning of fiscal year 2009 and continues to seek additional opportunities to achieve its goal of creating an efficient and flexible network and realize cost savings. Specifically, USPS: (1) eliminated all functions of the Airport Mail Centers, closed 9 of these facilities, and now uses the remaining 12 for other purposes, resulting in a realized cost savings of about $12.2 million in fiscal year 2009; (2) reorganized the functions of the 21 Bulk Mail Centers into newly developed Network Distribution Centers, resulting in a realized cost savings of about $17.7 million in fiscal year 2009; and (3) implemented 23 proposals to consolidate AMP operations and facilities and approved another 6 AMP consolidation proposals. USPS estimated an annual cost savings of about $98.5 million for the 29 approved and implemented AMP proposals. Additionally, USPS officials stated that they plan to integrate the Surface Transfer Center functions into the Network Distribution Center network to further eliminate redundancy in transporting mail. USPS has developed specific program targets for the ongoing reorganization efforts of the Network Distribution Centers and estimated a cost savings of about $233.8 million for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 from reduction in work hours and transportation costs. On the basis of GAO's analysis of 32 AMP proposals that were implemented, approved, or not approved since the beginning of fiscal year 2009, USPS has followed its realignment guidance by completing each step of the process and consistently applying its criteria in its reviews. GAO's analysis found that it took about 6 months on average--a month more than USPS's target of 5 months--to complete the review process from initiating an AMP proposal to making a decision. USPS officials noted the importance of the AMP decisions and the need to sometimes take longer than what the guidance suggests to ensure the correct decision. GAO also found that USPS consistently notified stakeholders when key steps of the AMP process were completed, such as when an AMP proposal was initiated, or public meetings were held. For each of the AMP proposals that GAO reviewed, USPS also consistently evaluated its four criteria related to AMP consolidations: (1) impacts on the service standards for all classes of mail, (2) issues important to local customers, (3) impacts to USPS staffing, and (4) savings and costs associated with moving mail processing operations.

Just 10 short days from now, the Cleveland Browns will officially open Training Camp 2013. It's hard to believe how fast summer always flies by, but I consider Training Camp to be the beginning of the end of summer. And in just 3 weeks from yesterday, the Dolphins and Cowboys kick things off in the annual Hall of Fame Game at Fawcett Stadium in Canton.
Indeed, real on-field football is right around the corner. Of course, for Browns fans, on-field football seems to be about the furthest thing from anyone's mind. Instead, the story dominating Browns headlines as of late revolves around new owner Jimmy Haslam.
I wish the story was the Browns themselves. Even if that story is about how the Browns rank #31 in ProFootballTalk's preseason rankings. Or heck, I'd even settle for more talk about the Browns potentially carrying 2 kickers on their roster. But on-field Browns news is hard to come by these days. I actually had to do a Google search to find out if Barkevious Mingo had signed a contract yet1. I was pretty sure he hadn't, figuring I'd have heard about it if he had. But with so much talk about Jimmy Haslam, it seemed somewhat plausible that he had signed and the news just flew under the radar. [Read more...]
- he hasn't [↩]

This is a very tasty caramel frosting. I did add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. The recipe didn't state how much to add, but this amount seemed sufficient.
This recipe is extremely misleading. This make a glaze or a drizzle, not a fluffy frosting as the photo implies. Bad adverstising!

Tastes great when drizzled over German Marble Cake
I put this icing over caramel cookie bars I make :3 My fiance's family loves when I make them!
This is a really tasty recipe! It didn't yield as much as I wanted it to, but I'm sure this could be remedied by simply doubling the recipe (I only had enough to decorate the outer edges of 24 mini cupcakes). Pair it with a good chocolate cake and you're good to go!
This was great! I opted not to add the powdered sugar and used this as more of a sauce/drizzle. Very good flavor and consistency! Will make again.
Very runny, never got thick and creamy.
Made this recipe twice. Turned out great both times, even though it was only my first and second times making caramel frosting in my life! If I can do it, you can too!

Republican state Rep. Don Pridemore says he wants to be Wisconsin's top education leader to bring a conservative approach to the job and increase the connection between schools and businesses.
Pridemore launched his candidacy Monday morning in Madison. He will make several appearances across the state to promote his run.
He is taking on incumbent Tony Evers, who has held the nonpartisan job of secretary of the Department of Public Instruction since 2009.
Pridemore says he will offer a "common sense, conservative approach" to the job. Pridemore has been 1 of the most conservative members of the Legislature and introduced an immigration reform bill similar to what passed in Arizona.
Pridemore says he will work closely with Gov. Scott Walker's administration as state superintendent.
Walker has said he may not endorse anyone in the race.

The House on Friday rejected the a substitute FY 2012 budget resolution offered by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) by a 103-303 vote.
Every Republican voted against it, and even the Democrats were split on the CBC budget — 103 Dems supported it and 75 opposed it.
The CBC budget anticipated more spending in 2012 and the next decade than the budget that is expected to pass the House, which was offered by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.). In debate on the CBC resolution Thursday night, Democrats said their budget would restore cuts to education, transportation, food safety, security and veterans programs.
The CBC is the first of four substitute amendments that the House will vote on Friday, but none are expected to pass.

text: After last night, it is now impossible for Mr. Irsay to ignore the ugly truth right in front of him. This is the worst coaching staff in the NFL and possibly the worst staff in any Pro sport. Their inability to adjust,adapt,improve, and be aggressive is baffling and very frustrating to not only us fans but especially the players. As much as they tried last night and all season, when you are not put in a position to succeed and not prepared to win, last night is what happens. All the coaches had to do was watch the Bucs vs Saints game 1 week ago to see how a similiar defense held the Saints down and intercepted Brees and then implement the same game plan. What the Colts did was play cowardly defense,bend but always break and in the red zone play 5 yards deep in the end zone and just let Saints receivers be uncovered. Truly Pathetic. Mr. Irsay needs to demand the resignation today of the Head Coach, both Coordinators, Bill "The Bully" Polian and both of his sons Chris and Dennis. Demand accountability from your staff and show the team that you do care about them. That would be a good start.

In America it's "French" toast and it's breakfast. In France it's pain perdu, or "lost bread." In Spain, bread dipped in egg and fried until golden is called torrijas and it's a favorite springtime dessert.
The basic preparation: dip or soak thick slices of stale bread in sweetened milk, wine syrup or sweet wine, then into beaten egg. No, don't mix the milk and egg together. Fry them in olive oil until golden. Sprinkle with sugar or drizzle with honey boiled with a little water. Sprinkle with lots of cinnamon. Serve at room temperature.

Motorists accustomed to viewing a new Chrysler product in front of the plant on U.S. 31 probably didn't notice the red 1985 Dodge pick-up truck on display Christmas morning.
The restored Dodge step side truck was a present to former Chrysler employee David Bright from his children.
Bright purchased the truck new from Palmer Dodge in Indianapolis for $13,428 after seeing it the night before at one of the first Mud Bogs.
"It had 20 miles on it," Bright recalled.
After driving the truck for 25 years, Bright asked which of his sons wanted the truck and it was given to his son, Trent, who lives in Texas.
Bright said the truck had 149,000 miles and the Indiana winter weather had taken its toll on the metal.
On Christmas morning, Bright and his wife, Regina, were taken from their Kokomo home and blindfolded.
"When we got to Chrysler and they took the blindfold off, I thought we were going to take a tour of the plant," Bright said. "When I saw my truck, I was quite shocked. I was teary-eyed."
Bright said he didn't want to leave the house that morning because he was cooking Christmas dinner.
Matt Bright, a Chrysler employee, arranged for the truck to be on display in front of the plant.
The truck sat on the street until Trent Bright picked it up during a family visit in St. Louis and took it back to Texas. David Bright believed the truck was going to be given to his grandson.
"We saw it last year in Texas," he said. "It was sitting in an outbuilding."
Bright said most people talk about driving a vehicle until the wheels fall off, he drove the truck until the body fell off.
"I always thought about having it restored," he said. "It was not one of our priorities."
Regina Bright said the truck looked beautiful when they saw it for the first time on Christmas Day.
She learned about the gift last November and couldn't wait to see it.
"When we parked the truck at the curb, a lot of our neighbors were asking if that was Dave's old truck," she said.
The truck went back to Texas for some final work to be completed, but will return to Kokomo this spring.
Trent Bright said the plan was to always fix the truck up and return it to his father.
"It was a lot of fun," he said of the restoration work. "I took it all the way down to the frame. I replaced the cab, but everything else is original."
The project took more than six months to complete.
"I didn't plan to give it to him for Christmas," Trent said. "We got it back from the [air conditioning] shop, three hours before leaving for Indiana. I brought it up for Christmas because the entire family would be there."
He said his father didn't want to leave the house.
"It was a great surprise," Trent said.
David Bright said the truck dubbed "Old Red" was known in Kokomo as his vehicle.
"It was an awesome present," he said.
Eventually, the truck will be in the possession of Bright's grandson, Nash, but not until he finishes enjoying driving it around Indiana.

Davis is expected to play Sunday night against the New York Jets - his first action since tearing the ACL in his right knee last September - his third such significant injury. If he can make it back he'll become the first NFL player to return after tearing the same ACL three separate times.||||||| Davis missed the first two preseason games with a strained calf, but coach Ron Rivera says he expects he'll play.
Coach Ron Rivera says he's "relieved" that medical tests on Davis' right knee were negative. Rivera says an MRI on Thursday revealed no damage and that Davis has a strained right calf.||||||| Davis will not participate in Saturday's Fan Fest back in Charlotte but could return to practice next week. He hasn't practiced since Sunday.That's encouraging news for Davis, who's trying to become the first known NFL player to return from three torn ACLs to the same knee. Davis tore his right ACL last September for the third time in three years and missed 14 games on injured reserve.
A person familiar with the situation says Davis has agreed to forego his $8 million signing bonus and take a pay cut to return to the Panthers.||||||| The person spoke to The Associated Press Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because no public announcement has been made. Davis, who is trying to comeback from three torn ACLs in three years, has agreed to forego the signing bonus he was due and has taken a cut in base salary from $2.25 million to $700,000.
Davis has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the third time in less than 23 months. Davis shared news of the injury on his Twitter account. "I would like 2 take the time and thank every1 that has supported me over my career," he wrote. "Unfortunately, I have re torn my acl. Thx 4 da prayers!!"||||||| Davis first tore his right ACL on Nov. 8, 2009 against New Orleans. He tried to make it back for the next season but re-tore his ACL in the June minicamps. Davis had more than a year to recover from that second surgery and the Panthers felt like he'd be ready to go this season.
Davis says it "wasn't worth the risk" to try to play this season after two major knee surgeries in less than a year, but is confident Carolina will re-sign him.||||||| Davis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last November, then suffered the same injury seven months later in an offseason workout. Davis had said he was determined to play this season, but acknowledged he isn't 100 percent.

Mumbai: The Nokia Asha 502 Dual SIM and Asha 503 - unveiled at the Nokia event in Abu Dhabi - are all set to go on sale in select markets including India. Both devices will reportedly be available through online retailers and Nokia retail outlets within a week. However, except Saholic currently none of the Indian retail sites have listed them. The e-retailer has listed only the Dual SIM Asha 502 and not he 503, but hasn't mentioned the pricing or availability. Based on pricing of previous Asha phones as well as keeping the mind the specs of the two feature phones, we expect them to be priced under Rs 10,000. At the event held in October, Nokia had announced the Asha 502 for $89 that amounts to approximately Rs 5,400, and the Asha 503 for $99 that is approximately Rs 6,000. The official India pricing of both devices will be slightly higher than the quoted dollar price. The Asha 502 dual SIM and the 503 sport a 3-inch display with 240 x 320 pixels of resolution and also get a layer of Gorilla Glass 2 protection. Some other common specs include 5 megapixel rear camera, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and microSD card slots. To read more visit: www.tech2.com

Jonathan Toews is up for the annual Mark Messier Leadership Award.
Toews is facing off against Lidstrom for the award itself in the finals and this right here is for all of the marbles- this will actually win our Captain an award (although admittedly it will not mean as much among NHL players as winning a non-fan vote related piece of hardware, it still means SOMETHING as it is selected by the fans and actually up to this point accurately depicts his standing among leaders in the league). This is the first time you can honestly call Toews an underdog in this competition, as he is down by a large margin to Lidstrom. Toews might not have the dominating offensive stats to win the Hart Trophy, he might not be the media favorite to win the Selke (though the numbers for that are definitely there, yikes), but this is one award that definitely should be his and luckily fans can vote for it.
This is your chance to go out and support your team and your captain, get it done- you can only vote once!
Vote early and vote often.
-3/28 - Toews defeated Shea Weber by a total of 838 votes (69%) to Weber's 369 (31%)
-4/1 - Toews defeated Brian Gionta by a total of 1,637 votes (73%) to Gionta's 611 (27%)
-4/6 - Toews defeated Ryan Miller by a total of 3,195 votes (60%) to Miller's 2,112 (40%)
-4/8 - Toews against Red Wings Captain Niklas Lidstrom in the finals

If they do a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, they will obviously have to use Nova. It would be AWESOME if they used Rocket Raccoon and Groot! But I don't see how they could ever pull that off. What I really want to see is Mantis. Ooh, and Cosmo would be cool also. I'd see that movie in a heartbeat but, alas, I don't think it'll ever get made.

Every superhero movie that's come out has featured established characters that have spanned two and sometimes three generations, from the Greatest Generation, to Baby Boomers, to Generation X. GotG is something no one but X'rs have heard of, or cared about. This movie is going to fail. Hard. And as far as Night of 1000 Wolves goes, you guys *still owed me a review*, Bug. Just like Optimus's movie, JD has a tweaked memory. Possibly from too many cheezy poofs or some such. So you should at least review one of them. Just sayin'. So thanks, everyone else except Bug!

Thanks Pink, that's good news. I picked up the newest version of GotG because I loved the incarnation from the 70's with Martinex, Charlie 27, et al, but knew it wasn't the same characters. But because it was written by Abnett and Lanning I didn't care. Really enjoyed the newest incarnation anyway. Especially because they threw in Vance Astrovik and (if my memory serves me right, which is entirely questionable since I'm old) the cameo from Starhawk. That enigmatic character from the original run was one of the most interesting characters of my youth.

Our Bureau
The scorecard
Primary articles' group index declines 0.2 per cent
Prices of soyabean move up 6%
Silica sand prices fell 33 per cent while iron ore's by 10%
Index for textiles group increases 0.2 per cent
New Delhi , March 24
The annual wholesale price index-based inflation rose 4.28 per cent during the week ending March 11, higher than the previous week's annual rise of 4.02 per cent. The increase in the year-on-year inflation rate was mainly on account of a rise in energy and manufactured products, according to data released today by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
The WPI ended the latest reported week at 197.5 points, up from 196.8 points, during the previous week. The inflation rate was 5.40 per cent during the corresponding week of the previous year.
On a disaggregated basis, the primary articles' group index declined 0.2 per cent to 193.1 points due to fall in the index for minerals group.
Among the fuel, power, light and lubricants group index was up 0.9 per cent to 314.7 points, furnace oil rose five per cent, bitumen by three per cent, electricity by two per cent and naphtha by one per cent.
In case of the manufactured products' index, prices of paperboards rose around 25 per cent, epoxy resins and aluminium extrusion by 15 per cent each and air and gas compressors by 11 per cent.
Among the primary articles' group, food items showed an increasing trend, with prices of condiments and spices up by two per cent each and pork by one per cent. However, prices of barley declined by 5 per cent, while those of gram and wheat fell one per cent each.
In the Non-food Articles' group, prices of soyabean went up by six per cent, castor seed by two per cent and groundnut seed and cottonseed by one per cent each. But, the prices of copra moved down by five per cent and safflower by three per cent.
Among minerals, prices of silica sand fell 33 per cent and iron ore by 10 per cent. However, prices of barytes moved up 20 per cent, fire clay by 18 per cent, ochre and felspar by 17 per cent each, steatite by 13 per cent and magnesite by four per cent and fluorite by one per cent.
Among the manufactured products' index, the Food Products' group index went up 0.3 per cent to 181.4 due to higher prices of hydrogenated vanaspati (2 per cent). Gingelly oil and groundnut oil and imported edible oil, however, became cheaper by 2 per cent and 1 per cent respectively.
The index for the textiles group increased 0.2 per cent to 130.4 from 130.1 for the previous week due to increased prices of other cotton yarn (3 per cent), hessian and sacking bags and cotton yarn cones (2 percent each) and nylon filament yarn (1 per cent). However, the prices of cotton grey drills and jeans (7 per cent), synthetic cloth (5 per cent), synthetic yarn and hessian cloth (1 per cent each) declined.
The index for the basic metals alloys and metal products group rose 0.5 per cent to 213.2 from 212.1 for the previous week due to higher prices of aluminium extrusion (15 per cent), aluminium ingots (8 per cent) and aluminium rolled products (5 per cent).
The Government also revised downwards the final inflation rate for the week ending January 14 to 4.19 per cent against the provisional estimates of 4.40 per cent. The WPI stood at a revised 196.6 points for the week, against the provisional estimate of 197 points.

Divorced architect Jonathan Rivers ([[Performer~P37277~Michael Keaton~michaelkeaton]]) seems to lead a pretty good life with partial custody of his young son and a happy second marriage to Anna ([[Performer~P75597~Chandra West~chandrawest]]), a best-selling author. Things take an ugly turn when Anna disappears during a thunderstorm, apparently the victim of a freak accident. Eventually, her body is found, and Jonathan sinks into despair. Then he meets Raymond ([[Performer~P47980~Ian McNeice~ianmcneice]]), who claims that Anna has contacted him through EVP, or electronic voice phenomena. Raymond explains that the dead can communicate from beyond via static on common electronic equipment like radios and televisions. Jonathan is skeptical until he starts getting phone calls from Anna's inactive cell phone. He visits Raymond, whose home is filled with audio and video monitors and high-tech recording equipment. There he meets Sarah ([[Performer~P72442~Deborah Kara Unger~deborahkaraunger]]), who has recently received a farewell message from her late fiancé. Jonathan eventually receives what appears to be a communication from Anna, but soon afterward, Raymond turns up dead. Obsessed with maintaining contact with his late wife, Jonathan visits a psychic (Connor Tracy) who warns him that he's going down a dangerous path, "meddling" in the affairs of the dead. Undaunted, Jonathan continues to study EVP and eventually finds that he's getting messages from people who haven't died...yet. White Noise was directed by [[Performer~P110018~Geoffrey Sax~geoffreysax]] from an original script by [[Performer~P233937~Niall Johnson~nialljohnson]]. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Named one of the 'Penguin Classics', this recording by Sir Neville Marriner of Vivaldi's classic Four Seasons is a must-have. Among the first releases in Decca's 'Originals' series is this 1969 recording (issued in 1970) of The Four Seasons with Alan Loveday and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
This album is licensed for download from Decca where you can buy the CD.
'There is an element of fantasy in this performance that sets it apart from all direct comparison ... Continually one seems to be hearing this scoring for the very first time, and the delicacy of the rhythmic pointing is even more striking than one expects from the superb St Martin's ensemble ... A superb demonstration recording too with its range of tone-colour and atmosphere.' Gramophone
Surely there can't be room for yet another reissue of the most popular work in the classical repertoire? - Well, there is certainly room for this particular recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons; for there has always been something very special about this memorable recording which stems from the original Argo catalogue.
This recording was made in St John's, Smith Square (a venue ideal for recording Baroque music) and, due to undiminishing demand, it has held its own for close on 30 years - and it has achieved this without a fill-up and at a playing time of around 43 minutes. This magical performance of Vivaldi's descriptive masterpiece is now available with a generous bonus of three further Vivaldi concertos played by the same artists. What is even more indicative of the superlative quality of this performance is that, even played on modern instruments, it has survived through the potent emergence of the authentic instrument boom, and still commands a key position amongst the versions of this much-recorded work.
Way back in 1959, Neville Marriner gathered together a few musicians for the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields' first rehearsal, and this marked the start of what was to become one of the most significant success stories in music. The Academy, in their earlier days, were captured on disc by Argo (plus a handful on L'Oiseau-Lyre) and many of their finest recordings stem from this period - The Four Seasons being probably the most famous. With Alan Loveday as soloist, Neville Marriner as director and Simon Preston at the organ and harpsichord, this recording immediately became a favourite with record shops and public alike. No other recording of this work has so boldly represented the vivid contrasts of Vivaldi's sparkling score - if this version of the chilly opening to 'Winter' fails to send shivers down the spine, the listener will need to take medical advice!
Recording Information:
Recording location: St John's, Smith Square, London, September 1969 (Four Seasons) and July-August 1975.
Producers: Michael Bremner (Four Seasons), Chris Hazell.
Recording engineers: Stanley Goodall (Four Seasons & Wind Concertos), John Dunkerley

Extract from the original sleeve notes by Stephen Petitt:
Even in 1970, the group [ASMIF] has a large number of recordings under its belt. Initially it recorded for the then independent L'Oiseau-Lyre label, but from 1964 it has cultivated a fertile relationship with Decca's innovative Argo label. Most of the Argo recordings have been produced by Michael Bremner, and he is the man in the control room on this occasion. Alongside him, as usual, sits Stan Goodall, the engineer whose sharp ears are focused on getting the sound balance exactly right. The ever-reliable Alan Loveday is the solo violinist, while at the organ and harpsichord - variety being the spice of a good Baroque concerto, the Academy has decided to use both - sits Simon Preston, the young organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. Musicians and technicians together constitute a team that is thoroughly at ease with the pressures of the playing, as always, full of precision and vitality. Nothing the Academy has ever done, Marriner is proud to boast, has ever been less than thoroughly prepared, and these sessions are no exception. In due course the recording hits the shops. The critics love it, and it also proves an astonishing success with the public - the two don't always go together- even by the Academy's standards. The word goes round among music-lovers that if you are looking for a Four Seasons that has it all, this is the version to buy, and before very long the recording has acquired the rare status of being a classic.

Covergirl's newest face and songstress Janelle Monáe graces yet another cover of a magazine. The Tightrope singer is looking fab as always as Elle Canada's cover girl for their February 2013 issue. I love her style. Every time I see her I experience a severe case of natural hair envy… Her hair gives me life!

Awww … isn't that sweet! Ellen "I love everybody…except u right wing fuckin morons" Barkin is defending President Obama against a gesture made by Clint Eastwood last night in which he revealed his secret desire to kill the president to his minions at the Republican National Convention. Good thing Barkin is so vigilant! The actress voiced her concern and fans quickly assured her that her gut instinct about Eastwood's "cut" sign was right on the money:
@EllenBarkin Yes, that goofy old man made the throat cutting gesture. http://t.co/iZ1NguYv—

@EllenBarkin yea, he did! Way offensive—
Gavin Delgado (@mizelectra) August 31, 2012
@EllenBarkin yes he did. and yes the crowd laughed. and yes… this is what we're all up against.—

Yes. RT @EllenBarkin: did Clint Eastwood really make the slitting throat motion…meant for our POTUS???—

@EllenBarkin Girllll….that was an absolute mess. U missed nothing but blatant disrespect toward the leader of these United States.—
Brittany Gordon (@TheBrittyG) August 31, 2012
@EllenBarkin He did!! After saying it's time to let him go. Real pathetic!—
TotalAddek (@TheKarinaNicole) August 31, 2012
@JECarter4 @Toure @EllenBarkin Yes, that could be considered a Death Threat by Eastwood against the POTUS.—
(@Politicolnews) August 31, 2012
@EllenBarkin I think the secret service should pay him a visit, I see that as a threat….:-]—
Nicola Donaldson (@nikangel39) August 31, 2012
@EllenBarkin He sure did. It was ugly. Really ugly.—

But that's just how conservatives roll, right?
@EllenBarkin @allanbrauer Most conservative humor invokes violence of some kind. Subtlety ain't their strong suit—
(@DJShay12) August 31, 2012
@EllenBarkin Yes, it was repulsive and got a laugh, of course,GOP has made it acceptable to threaten and belittle the President. Racists—
Elizabeth West (@Limeylizzie) August 31, 2012
With reassurance from her fans, Barkin doubled down:
@MSNBCWatch Yes…& then made the slitting motion.Watch it again.Or not,
because it happens to be the truth &u wont let that get in your way—
Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) August 31, 2012
@RandyHauser Appalling. Truly appalling.
But I guess it's ok because he played a cowboy in movies.I played a Dr. once..brain surgery anyone?—
Ellen Barkin (@EllenBarkin) August 31, 2012
"Dr. Barkin"? *shudder*
So, suddenly Ellen takes offense at death threats that weren't actually death threats. Neat trick, that.
@EllenBarkin not to get political but how is what Eastwood did any different than you wishing a hurricane would wipe out RNC?—
(@angrydungbeetle) August 31, 2012
Like this?
@EllenBarkin Were you tweeting when all that crap about Bush was going down? NO, so can it sister. The false indignation is not flattering—
