This is a historical Canal basin and is the easternmost link between the Regent's Canal and the tidal River Thames. With a footbath and pedestrian bridge all around the basin you can stroll around reading the history from signposts along the way. Brunell designed The Accumulator Tower and you can see how the passage for ships was actually constructed.
From here you can head north along the canal to Mile End or take a longer rout via Bow on the Limehouse Cut. It's also a good walk from Tower Bridge through Wapping to the basin or vice versa.

Anyway, saw these notebooks on Thunder in Our Hearts and it led me to Rifle Paper Company's website and I'm trying to resist the urge to order everything.

|Site of singer-songwriter Bill Griese
Nashville-based Griese writes and perfoms original music that is packed with feel and heartfelt lyrics. Bill's smooth voice and laid-back approach often lead to comparisons to the great James Taylor. His acoustic-pop style is both familiar and fresh. Bill has two original CDs, "For This Day" and "Too Long Coming," and several singles available on iTunes -- including the father-daughter song "On Three" and his fun, new release "Taylor Swift's Ex!" In a major departure from his usual sound, Bill recently released a high-energy football song called "R U Ready," featuring a guest appearance by the rapper Heathen.

It's possible to duck into this low-key restaurant at midday to grab a strong cappuccino or glass of Mexican wine. Try the pechuga de pollo (chicken breast) stuffed with huitlacoche. For a snack go for a plate of quesadillas with a side order of guacamole. Breakfast is also served.

text: "Ricœur's concept of the fault [la faute] is broad, and neither French nor English provides a term which would do it full justice. It expresses the basic awareness that all is not right with the world, that existence as I live it is always a flawed existence. This is the awareness expressed in symbols of evil and myths of the fall, in the Platonic myth of the world running backwards, as well as in the philosophical concepts of the fall or of the bondage of passions. Using the term in its broadest sense (rather than in Ricœur's own more restricted, clinical sense), we can say that the concept of the fault points to the pathological distortion of existence. Erazim V. Kohák; introduction to Freedom and Nature: The Voluntary and the Involuntary, by Paul Ricœur

I like them just with ketchup! But i sometimes scoop out the flesh when soft, then crisp up the shells in the oven Then i mash the potato i took out of the shells. When the skins are crispy i fill them with ratatouille and either put the mash on top and grill with grated cheese on top or use mash on side of plate. V tasty!Think i know whats for my tea tonight now!

In life there's always that which we call "the exception". It could be a person you're willing to go out with even when the sky's a madman, a self-declared cynic actually writing someone a love song, a dress that's never too old to ditch, or a memory that's too priceless to forget even in old age.
In my case, it's a greasy, calorie-packed but all the same delish meal that's never too fatty for my recently developed anorexic inclination. Twice baked potato halves never too modestly stuffed with cheese and bacon bits (lavishly dipped in sour cream and chives), and.. my faltering self-control. Nyuum.

Your score is determined by a number of factors, including on-time payment, which represents 33 percent of your score. The amount you owe compared to how much credit is available to you comprises another 30 percent. The length of your credit history accounts for 15 percent of your score and new credit account applications for another 10 percent. Finally, the type of credit you have--for example, secured, unsecured, store credit--accounts for the final 10 percent.
The last category is the one that pertains to your question, because there is a hierarchy associated with different types of debt. Secured debt is the highest and unsecured debt is much lower, with retail credit cards such as Target being lower in the hierarchy. So you can see, your Target credit card account would affect you least of all.
Having said all of that, I would recommend you not close the account, but instead, destroy the card without saying anything to the store. Or simply do not use the card or account other than to make payments. In this way you won't lose even 2 or 3 points, and the account will still be available in years to come if you change your mind. The exception is if you are paying an annual fee. In that case, you would want to cancel the card, so you won't have to pay for a card you aren't using.

- Are Discover Card credit cards any good?
- Is a credit score of 725 considered good?
- Which bank offers the best debit card?
- Why do you rate American Express credit requirements as "good credit" to secure a card? I thought to qualify for an American Express card you have to have excellent credit.
- Supposing you have a perfect credit score of 800 or better; which credit card offers the highest credit limits?

On a very common request, some thoughts
If you have any sort of public presence as an Indigenous person, it is very likely that you will be approached for your opinion and help on all manner of issues and projects. At first it might be a little heartening, that people are making an effort to look beyond stereotypes, but from my experience it can start to wear thin, when the time and effort you put into these requests is never reciprocated in any way.
I have had many students contact me to help them with projects, to point them in the right direction in terms of research on specific topics, or even to be interviewed as part of their work. At first I thought that it was obvious and did not need to be stated that I would want to see the final product, but after enough times of never hearing from the person again I made a point of stating this. If I help you with your work, I want to see what you do with what I gave you. Still, in the vast majority of cases, I am not contacted again.
So I address this to the students and professionals who have an interest in Indigenous issues.
Before you contact someone to help you with your work, please consider a few things.
You are asking someone to help you with your project, which is of great benefit to you, but requires the time, energy and expertise of someone who will not necessarily benefit and who undoubtedly has a full-schedule as it is. Consider what it is that you are bringing to the table in such a situation, aside from the desire to not perpetuate stereotypes, or to 'get better information out there'.
Also please consider why it is you wish to incorporate information so far outside your own base of knowledge, and whether you have the time and resources to do this accurately and respectfully, without requiring an outside expert to do the bulk of the work for you. To do your project justice, you may need to do more than search for a few quotes or pieces of information, and you need to evaluate whether you have the time and interest to do what is required. PARTICULARLY if you are straying into areas of traditional knowledge and culture, even if your interests is purely 'artistic'. Indigenous cultures are very much based on the concept of reciprocal obligation. Generosity is highly valued, and is expected in return.
Many post-secondary institutions have implemented fairly rigorous ethical standards when conducting research involving Indigenous peoples. You should approach your institution to see what threshold your project/interest meets, and what standard you should adhere to.Do not assume that your work does not trigger these obligations just because no one has made it clear to you that it does.
At the very minimum, in my opinion, is this standard, from the CIHR Guidelines for Health Research Involving Aboriginal People: Research should be of benefit to the community as well as to the researcher.
If you do not know how your work will have a benefit beyond what you are personally getting out of it, then please consider choosing another topic.
We are not textbooks that can be checked out, skimmed for information and hastily acknowledged in a bibliography, if at all. Not even when you 'just have a few questions'.

Fame, Fortune and Marriage
- Tuesday, July 12, 2011
The solution?
Every example above is based on real couples, though modified in specifics so as to protect identities. Nearly all were in crisis. Fortunately, nearly every one of them eventually worked out their problems and salvaged their marriages. Even better, they made good marriages this time around.
The secret?
The most important factor was getting each person truly to hear the emotions the other shared. Most often it required counseling or great marriage coaching, but when they quit defending themselves and started opening themselves to genuinely understanding the other, things began to change.
The next most important factor was for each couple to become a team rather than to be in opposition. That did not mean that goals, ambitions, or drives were discarded. It did mean that each couple found a way to make it their dreams, not his or her dream. Some figured it out on their own, but most needed wise and competent third parties to find a way to make that happened.
Additionally, each learned to treat the other with utmost respect. Whether a spouse makes millions or earns no outside income, become famous worldwide or is known just within the neighborhood, rises to the top of the ladder or holds it for the other, each is as important, worthy, and needed as the other. Dignity and respect for the needs and desires of each other and egalitarian treatment in everything in life, are essential for any relationship to work.
If either of you in your marriage is rich, poor, famous, unknown, or anything else, making a marriage work requires each of you to support and love the other. If you are not communicating well, have trouble actually hearing each other, argue without solution, or find yourself tempted, get help now.
Being rich, famous, or successful and alone is still just that…alone.
Joe Beamfounded LovePath International, an organization that provides marriage help for hurting couples through a powerful workshop that restores and saves endangered marriage relationships.

Katekyō Hitman Reborn! Namimori Trio Shoot from Anime North 2014
Old fandom is old, but we learned its far from dead. We got such a fun reaction to these from people remembering such a fun series! 10 years in this fandom and I still love it. Can't wait to do some more Reborn cosplays soon.
We tried to represent every pairing between the three of them cause let's face it, its so easy to ship any form of the three of them <3

Anime North Sunday was Free! Day.
We did these costumes on Sunday, but Friday morning we were up early doing a photoshoot in the Hotel pool at 8:00am. It was more fun then it should have been~ This is mostly a teaser photoshoot, when the weather gets warmer we are doing an outdoor / underwater shoot back home in Ottawa.
We proved though our wigs can survive the water, we had to hang them all out in the closet to dry though.

But I can't compete, with a she-wolf who has brought me to my knees. What do you see in those yellow eyes? Cause I'm falling to pieces.
Annie and Armin - Little Red Riding Hood.
I can't remember entirely how this idea came to fruition but we've been planning it for quite some time, I am pretty sure it came from the hood lift and it just stuck with us.
The location was one of the trails in Gatineau Park, in Gatineau Quebec. It was absolutely freezing that day, I am so surprised none of us ended up with frostbite, we came pretty close. It was a perfect light snow that made the crispness of these photos even better. I love how it turned out, and I hope you like it too.

Total Defence celebrates its 30th anniversary with a experiential exhibition at National Museum Singapore where the stories of unlikely social vigilantes take center stage. Titled "Because You played a Part", the exhibition draws on personal accounts as well as hot topics to lead visitors on a trail of discovery spanning all 3 levels of the museum.
Having as much interest in militaristic stuff as Anton Casey has in our "poor people" transport system, I wasn't expecting much from the Total Defence 30 : An Experiential Showcase exhibition but I was pleasantly surprised.
Although the story threading through the entire exhibition was quite hard to follow, I found the narrative idea and highly interactive exhibits to be refreshing and earn top marks for balls and creativity in distilling Total Defence ideologies into palatable bits.
And one of the best things, apart from really friendly and cheery helpers at all stations of the exhibition, was the feat of fusing something as dry as Total Defence with artistic endeavours. While some aspects of the presentation can be improved further provided that budget and museum restrictions permit, the exhibition delivers its promise as a truly experiential showcase that breathed life into the 5 tenets of Total Defence :
1. Military Defence
2. Civil Defence
3. Economic Defence
4. Social Defence
5. Psychological Defence
Producing contents, messages and exhibits for events and exhibitions (mostly involving governmental or related agencies) for close to 5 years, I must say that the Total Defence showcase was a daring departure from most stat boards' preference to cram as much information as possible into every inch of communication real estate.
While this approach has certain pitfalls as most messages are inferred rather than blatant, I enjoyed the ample mental breathing space as a result of knowledge de-cluttering and the focus of a single idea for each tactile interactive. And the exhibits' design while not jaw-dropping, blended tastefully with the museum environment.
My only grouse was that some of the characters along a story path was hard to track down (I never found the character Pat Law in the Entrepreneur path that I followed) and the Total Defence exhibits had to compete with other exhibitions going on at the museum. I was waylaid many times to check out installations of Biennale 2013 and other themed galleries that joining the dots of the Total Defence narrative became sporadic.
Nonetheless, with some patience and determination to complete the story trail, I got the gist of how entrepreneurship contributes to Economic Defence while discovering other Total Defence concepts along the way.
Then again, I think that's kinda cool because I learnt more as I was motivated to make sense of the modular personality-based accounts. Not that I'm an expert just because I'm in the events and exhibitions industry, but I feel that the Total Defence 30 : An Experiential Showcase was gutsy in its creative direction and something of a breakthrough to artify national policies.
And it's free for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents to visit!
"Because You Played a Part" Total Defence 30 : An Experiential Showcase is on from 15 – 23 Feb 2014 at National Museum Singapore.

SAFRA Singapore rocked *SCAPE with its inaugural Dance-a-thon where participants get to shake their bon bons for a good cause. With a slew of grooves ranging from Zumba Fitness to Hip Hop to Jazz and more, the 8-hour dance mania is cure for two-left-feeters and all in the spirit of charity… to raise funds for Society for the Physically Disabled.
Enticed by the opportunity to burn off Chinese New Year calories and do good, I signed up for the Dance-a-thon. Never mind that my eyes-to-limbs coordination is as present as Aston Casey's ability to be humble.

I've always held on to my primitive definition of art as something beautiful; an intentional creation for the purpose of delighting and entertaining the senses. But I'm not so sure after visiting Art Stage Singapore 2014.
Having about as much art education as Homer Simpson can do math, I'm never the arty-farty sort. I can neither call out artists by name (except those very famous dead ang moh ones like Leonardo Da Vinci, Monet, Manet, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Shakespeare… you get the drift) nor identify their works. If I'm found at an art event, it's usually for the free champagne.
No free booze at Art Stage 2014 but I did get a complimentary ticket (which costs S$30) from a friend who knew I'd have fun photographing the installations and works of art.
I wasn't so sure I would enjoy the exhibition initially as I know nothing about art and don't want to look stupid by not knowing why that name on a label is such a big deal, but I actually had fun.
In terms of photo opportunities, I didn't find that many as taking photos of paintings felt like rip-offs while snapping pics of installations and sculptures required thick skin to saunter into the space of a participating art gallery, take the photos and walk off without making eye contact with the dealers in case they think I have a fat wallet.
My aging Samsung Galaxy S3 also ran out of juice quickly so I missed capturing some of the impressive pieces later into my visit. So here's a glimpse of Art Stage 2014 and some of the pieces that had me amused or allowed me to create photographic 'art' out of art…
Many of the art pieces had been eye-opening in their creative techniques and executions. While the definition of art is subjective, some of the pieces were rather trashy to my commoner eye. Yet, their unartistry provoked a response as much as the stunning works made the heart gasp.
Transcending beauty, my Art Stage foray reminded me that art and the appreciation of it should go beyond the realm of sensory pleasure and embrace the provocative emotional dialogue brought on by art that makes one uneasy.
If I have to explain what is art to someone now, I would say it is the language of the soul.

Rice has the effect of garlic to vampires for any gym bunny trying to carve a 6-pack or those on a low-carb high protein diet to lose weight. I know, because I'm one of those carb adverse even though I love rice and the floury taste of banmian (板面).
So instead of giving up rice altogether, I've found an alternative to make the calories count with every mouthful by carbing on not white rice, but a mixture of grains and herbs to increase the nutritional value of my bowl.
Here's an herbal rice blend I've experimented with that's packed with more fibre, vitamins, minerals and higher protein content than regular white rice. And the added Chinese herbs have health promoting efficacies as well!
The ingredients sound exotic but they can all be found at local supermarkets in Singapore such as NTUC, Cold Storage, Giant and Sheng Siong with the exception of Black Rice which I bought from Mustafa Centre. If you can't find the herbs at the supermarts, Chinese medicinal halls are bound to have them. The non-white rice varieties cost more than regular white grains with black rice being the most expensive (depending on brand, a 1kg pack of black rice costs around S$8 while white rice of the same weight costs between S$4 to S$6).
How to Cook : Simply wash all the grains and herbs and cook them together in a rice cooker. Cooking duration is approximately 30 minutes.
In terms of quantity, brown rice should form the bulk with red rice at half the amount used for brown and black rice at a quarter that used for brown. That is, if you used 40g of brown, then use 20g of red and 10g of black (use the same amount of lentils as black rice). But this is not cast in stone and you can vary the rice and lentils ratios according to preference.
For the herbs, use about a handful of wolfberries, 4 to 5 medium slices of dioscorea and 3 – 4 slices of angelica. Angelica has a very strong flavor so refrain from using too much or the resulting rice may taste bitter. Cut the dioscorea and angelica slices into tiny pieces to mix in better with the grains.
Once all the ingredients are in the rice cooker, add water. The water level should go slightly above the knuckles when you place your palm on the layer of rice and herbs. The more water you put, the softer the rice when cooked but too much and you will end up with a sticky rice mud.
Delicious and Healthy
The combination of nutty flavours from unpolished rice (brown and red) with the beany musk of lentils and aromatic fragrances of Chinese herbs gives the herbal rice a complex taste with a hint of bittersweetness.
You can Google each of the ingredients to read up on their health benefits but I would like to specially highlight the value of consuming black rice as more clinical research are uncovering the powerful antioxidant activity of this dark grain. Due to its scarcity, black rice was reserved and eaten only by emperors in ancient China, hence it is also known as the "Forbidden Rice".
My first encounter with black rice was during a trip to the Yaeyama Islands, a group of islets off Okinawa, Japan. Residents on the Okinawan islands consume black rice and small bittergourd on a daily basis and the area has the highest number of centurions in the world. Many other factors definitely contribute to longevity but the Okinawans' unique diet of black rice may be one of the key contributing ingredients.
Already, some health sites are calling black rice the new super food as it contains more vitamin E than brown rice and has higher anthocyanin content than blueberries, bestowing it with super antioxidant prowess that could potentially guard against a myriad of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and age-related conditions.
So the next time you have a carb crave, go black and don't go back!

Reading Krista Ramsey's column "Welcome to Cincinnati" (Sept. 6) struck a nerve with me. I moved to Cincinnati 35 years ago when my father accepted a job at Scripps Howard.
I've lived in many suburbs of Cincinnati, the longest and most recent home being almost a decade in Anderson Township. Even after a decade, we knew none of our neighbors and never found a church that welcomed us.
Nine years ago my husband and I spontaneously decided to move to Northern Kentucky. Within two years, we knew all of the neighbors on our street (and numerous ones in our very large neighborhood), and had a very welcoming church. The majority of the people we know are born and raised here, but their welcoming attitude differs tremendously from what we experienced just across the river.

Assam: KLO calls 12-hour strike on Feb 6
Assam based terrorist organization Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) has called a 12-hour general strike at Kamtapur on Feb 6 against the alleged killing of its cadre Brindaban Rajbongshi in an encounter with security forces at Naigaon near Salakati in Kokrajhar district on Feb 1.
In a press statement sent to media, Kailash Koch, general secretary of the outfit, alleged that the Assam Police killed KLO cadre Brindaban Rajbongshi in a fake encounter.
"Police have claimed that Brindaban Rajbongshi was killed in an encounter and they recovered one pistol, one grenade, some documents and foreign currency from him. But we want to clarify that the statement is totally false. No pistol and grenade were recovered as said by the police. The reality is that, he was caught on Jan 31 around 10 am, while he was going to Bongaigaon town for his medical treatment," Kailash Koch said.
"After several hours of interrogation, he was brought to Naigaon near Salakati in Kokrajhar district and the Assam Police and the Indian Army killed him from zero distance," Koch added.
The outfit had alleged that it is a cold-blooded fake encounter to suppress Kamtapuri freedom movement.
KLO had threatened the Assam Police that they will continue to strike against their "enemies".
"Assam Police will have to pay the cost of his life very soon," Koch said in his statement.
"We strongly condemn the barbaric act and cowardice activities of the Assam Police and call a 12-hour general strike in Kamtapur effecting from 5 am to 5 pm on Feb 6 against the killing of Brindaban Rajbongshi in a fake encounter," Koch added.
The self-styled commander of KLO, who had a Rs 3 lakh reward on his head, was killed in an encounter with security forces in Kokrajhar district of Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) on Feb 1.
Recently, the Assam Police had announced a cash reward against 11 leaders and cadres of KLO including its commander-in-chief and general secretary.
KLO is active in several areas in Assam and West Bengal.

Wooden Cigar Store Indians
We Sell Native American hand carved Wooden Cigar Store Indians by Frank Gallagher. Aspen wood from Colorado is the preferred raw material for the creations of the Gallaghers. A photocopy of the two page story highlighting the Gallagher family from the June 1998 Issue of Arizona Highways will be sent with each Gallagher Indian.
We can have the Gallaghers carve a custom Wooden Cigar Indians for an additional price. They have carved a Plumber for us holding a pipe, wearing a hat (with their company logo), suspenders, a shirt with the company name on it and more. He can carve almost anything within reason. It can also be painted with what ever colors you choose.
Frank Gallagher, following in his ancestor's footsteps, is a highly skilled artesian in his own right. His art? The creation of Wooden Cigar Store Indians.
One of the original Wooden Indians are on display in the Smithsonian Institute. The Gallaghers continue the art of carving as their ancestor would want it; the old way - the right way - by hand.
The wide range of Wooden Cigar Store Indians that can be carved is absolutely astounding. Traditional Cigar Store Indians are in many forms - sculpted Indian chiefs, braves, princesses and Indian maidens, sometimes with boarded papooses. Most of these displayed some form of tobacco in their hands or on their clothing.
The American-made Cigar Store Indians were clothed in fringed buckskins, draped with blankets, decorated with feathered headdresses and sometimes shown holding tomahawks or bows, arrows and spears. Sadly, these "generic" Cigar Store Indians facial features rarely resembled members of any particular American Indian tribe.
However, not all of the Wooden Cigar Store Indians created were made by non-Native Americans. One of the most famous Native American carvers of Wooden Cigar Store Indians was Samuel Gallagher. Following the custom of Indian laborers of that era, Samuel took his employer's last name as his own. Samuel began carving Cigar Store Indians in the 1840's after almost all of his tribe, the Man-Dan were killed. Almost the entire Man-Dan village was infected by small pox - it practically wiped out the entire tribe. Samuel however, was away from the village at the time, and was spared the dread disease. His great, great grandson Frank is known to be one of approximately 12 true full-blooded Mandan Indians still living.
Wooden carvings, or Wooden sculptures, is one of the oldest and most widespread forms of natural art. Due to easy access to wood, the relative simplicity of the necessary technology, and the durability of the product, wood carving has been practiced in almost all cultures from the earliest times. Almost hand in hand with woodcarving has developed the agricultural revolution.
Tobacco, for example, is not a "necessary plant" for the continuation of life. Scholars have long debated how it became such an important crop to the indigenous people of the Americas. All that can be known for certain is that in 1561 Jean Nicot gave the tobacco plant the generic name, Nicotiana. In 1586. Sir Walter Raleigh began the popularization of pipe smoking gin Great Britain and the cultivation and consumption of tobacco spread with each voyage of discovery from Europe. This period was exciting for not only commerce but also art - the birth of three-dimensional wood carving evolved from it's previous two-dimensional state on friezes into the statues and forms more commonly seen today.
However it wasn't until 1617 that small wooden figures called "Virginie Men" were placed on counter tops to represent tobacco companies. These precursors to the traditional Native American styled Cigar Store Indians were called "Virginians" (the local English renditions of Indians) and were depicted as black men wearing headdresses and kilts made of tobacco leaves.
The bulk of the early Cigar Store Indians were carved in Eastern seaboard or Midwestern cities by artisans most likely never encountered a Native American; the figures appear to be white men in native garb. As time passed the American entrepreneurial spirit adapted as did the Wooden Cigar Store Indians with it. Some innovative tobacco sellers sought unconventional images for their trade signs to set them apart from the more established merchants. Suddenly a new market sprang up - Wooden Cigar Store Indian carvers competed among themselves for the various tobacconists' business, attempting to "one-up" one other in individuality, versatility and depth.
Wooden Cigar Store Indian artists like the Skillin family, John Cromwell, Thomas Brooks, and Samuel Robb operated full time studios. Many of these famous Cigar Store Indian woodworkers employed a full-time staff of carvers and painters to meet the high production demands for their Cigar Store Indian product. They put out catalogs of the various Cigar Store Indian product lines and frequently updated and expanded the Cigar Store Indian styles and materials. Their works testify to the contemporary enthusiasm for allegorical abstraction and graceful neoclassical forms.
Wooden Cigar Store Indians were designed to capture the attention of the people walking by, informing them that tobacco was sold inside. It is said that the average cigar smoker in America in the late 1800s couldn't read the words "Tobacconist Shop". Furthermore, the Wooden Cigar Store Indians was necessary for business. As America was quickly becoming a social melting pot of people with diverse origins, the average nineteenth-century American resident lacked a shared common language, and so the sidewalk cigar-store Indian was vital for business. Visual trade signs were essentially stand-ins for written sign-posts that might have been incomprehensible to potential customers, many of them immigrants. Thus the Cigar Store Indian, largely due to necessity but also due to its particular grandeur and style, is still famous today.
Today in the late 20th century the best of the Wooden Cigar Store Indians antique sculptures sell for as much as $100,000.

|Peugeot 2008 DKR
|Image gallery (4)
Page 1 of 2 Next >>
The muscular, thoroughbred yet beastlike forms of the Peugeot 2008 DKR provide a vivid indication of the new car's serious desire for success. It is behind the wheel of this purpose-designed machine that Carlos Sainz and Cyril Despres will defend the colours of Team Peugeot Total on next January's Dakar.
Three weeks after the exciting news that Peugeot, Red Bull and Total have decided to join forces to contest the 2015 Dakar, the car that will spearhead the team's challenge has finally broken cover. The 2008 DKR shares an unmistakable family resemblance with Peugeot's road-going crossover, albeit with more muscular forms and more imposing overall proportions that have been honed to meet the challenge that lays ahead. Its spectacular lines are the fruit of close cooperation between the experts at Peugeot's Style Centre and their colleagues at Peugeot Sport's Design Department, and the newcomer's likeness with the production version is quite astonishing!
Far more than just another styling exercise, the 2008 DKR features an aggressive stance dictated by the technical constraints associated with its mission. "We provided Peugeot's Style Centre with a very precise brief, " explains the Project Leader at Peugeot Sport, Jean-Christophe Pailler. "We supplied them with the basic key dimensions, as well as other information such as the cabin space we required, plus the wheel size and the suspension travel. They also had aerodynamic data resulting from our early simulation work."
Indeed, Peugeot Sport's design team had to answer one particularly fundamental question at a very early stage concerning the new beast's transmission: four-wheel or two-wheel drive? The decision effectively influenced the car's design in two key areas: "We carried out an in-depth analysis of what already existed in the world of cross-country rallying and weighed up the benefits of the different solutions. In the end, we opted for an approach that was quite different to that of the competition. Given the off-road capability of two-wheel drive transmission and its ability to run on sand, that's the choice we ultimately went for. It enabled us to fit bigger wheels and also to benefit from more suspension travel." The 2008 DKR consequently sits on 37-inch diameter Michelin tyres (almost 94cm)!

Last fall we published a story about a device called the Micro-Blaster, which uses blank cartridges and a pneumatic or mechanical detonator to break rock and concrete. Alan Meeks, a plumbing and electrical contractor in Indiana saw our story and was not impressed. For years he'd been doing something similar, but for a lot less money. Instead of using blanks he uses regular bullets and a low-tech detonator. Mind you, I think he only does this when he encounters large rocks or boulders in a trench--which is no doubt safer than the demonstration performed in the video below.
I can't vouch for the safety or legality of his method, but it does seem to work. Which reminds me, the legal department told me to say "Don't do this at home. Don't do this at work. Don't even think of doing this anywhere—ever!" They didn't actually say that, but they would have if they had seen this video.

Gerard Houllier believes Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was very under-rated
5/14/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Liverpool vice-captain and veteran defender, Jamie Carragher will play in the final match of his career in the Premier League against Queens Park Rangers at Anfield on Sunday. The former England international has decided to hang up his boots at the end of the season.
Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier praised Jamie Carragher for his fine career and recognized him as "a true leader". Gerard Houllier also believes Jamie Carragher deserves more recognition for his fine skills and impressive technical ability.
Jamie Carragher, who is bringing an end to his 16-year year long run with Liverpool, will become a TV pundit. Gerard Houllier, who managed Liverpool from 1998 to 2004, had a lot to in the upbringing of Jamie Carragher.
Jamie Carragher played as a left-back under Gerard Houllier before Rafael Benitez arrived at the helm and started using the Englishman as a center-back. The 35-year-old recorded good and regular form under both men.
"He started playing at left-back for me. He improved a lot. I always told him that big center-backs usually start playing in the left or right-back position," Gerard Houllier told Liverpool's official website.
"It probably gave him a good reading of the game and he could use the ball. He started playing at Liverpool as a defensive midfield player but wherever you played him you got 100 per cent, even more. He was a true leader.
"He never gives up and whatever the score was he was always there and probably allowed us to make some comebacks in a game."
Over the years, Jamie Carragher has been recognized as a good leader, but Gerard Houllier feels the defender's technical abilities should be given a second look. The Frenchman believes Jamie Carragher is extremely underrated.
"Sometimes they underrated his technique and skill. Carra is not only a good reader of the game but also very skillful with the use of the ball," Gerard Houllier said. "Because he puts 100 per cent effort in all of the time, sometimes he would make a mistake, but he just goes for it. He was an international player, probably not as glamorous as some others, but he was at least as efficient as them.
"His worth ethic is fantastic and he is, as you know, a very loyal person - loyal to his friends, loyal to his family, loyal to the fans, loyal to the club, which is something that's not very usual now.
"He brought trophies to the club and he also brought heart. Carra is a true Liverpool warrior. I also like his generosity. I mean, not many people know how generous he can be. When he had his testimonial, he gave all of the money to charity.
"For the community and for the fans, he is someone who is very open and very generous. And last but not least, there is his sense of humor, because when Carra is around there's always a laugh and a joke. He has a great sense of humor - a Scouse sense of humor."

Good Product: Plastic Bag Dryer
Here at The Kitchn, we're all about reusing and reducing waste. This plastic bag dryer helps us be more efficient about reusing our plastic storage bags as it makes drying them a snap.
Having a countertop bag dryer helps washed bags dry faster, and keeps them from taking up space in the dishrack. Plus, the dryer is compact in size, so it's easy to store when not in use.
Get it at Gaiam for $19.

tell me this is another joke?
no way!
I love mine and use it for reusable water bottles, like my Platypus, too.
Hmmm, wouldn't chopsticks in a glass do the same thing? I usually prop a few chopsticks in my dishrack and hang the bags on that.
I have a friend who would just turn them inside out and towel dry them.
I turn my bags inside out and clip them the utensil rack that hangs above my stove. When the oven's on, the heat from the vent dries them pretty quickly.
o c'mon, that is the most stupid use for $19 ever. Put them in your dish drainer.
I had some small wooden dowels (like you can buy at a craft store) laying around and put five or six into a smallish vase. The dowels spread out just enough to hang the bags on.
I agree, $19 is ridiculous for something that can be easily made from stuff around the house.
agreed - spend $19 on something more useful, like biobags. i wash mine inside out and leave them to dry on the dishes/utensils in the dishrack.
I dry my bags by sticking them on the wall upside down when they´re damp. I think it is really static that keeps them there, because even after they are dry they just stay stuck to the wall until you put them away.
I just pin mine to the kitchen blind above the radiator (hot air rises and dries them) with a clothespeg.
I got one of these as a gift a few years ago, and I have been glad to have it. I use it all the time.
April Fool! Oh, what?
I saw something similar, or possibly the same product, on Martha Stewart's TV show the other morning. Personally, I think it's a waste of water to wash plastic bags. I would aim for using less plastic rather than wasting water washing used ones...

So, it all started normally.
Amanda, who I haven't seen since 5th grade, my brother, and I all went to a movie and everything was:
But as soon as we got home Amanda was like:
And I was just like:
But I wasn't feeling it so I told her we should go watch a movie in the living room and we were like:
And I left the room for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS and when I came back she and my brother were like:
So I was like:
And they were like:
But I went on with watching the movie but everything was:
So I was like, I'm tired, night y'all like:
And then I woke up at 5 fucking AM and I could hear them being like this:
And all I could hear was her fucking moaning.
I was trying to sleep. And finally I was like:
And I managed to get back to sleep
And when I woke up, Amanda was like:
And I knew that all she was thinking was:
And I was like she must have:
So when she was like:
I was like:
And the rest of the day I was like:
Did I mention that I finally watched Harry Potter yesterday?
I wish I was going shopping for Black Friday. But I'm not. And it upsets me. A lot.
Why does no one love me?
I'm rebloging this because i wasn't born naked
I want to steal her. She wants me. I need her.
and we have to go home, i'm all like
sometimes even,
but inside i'm like..
"don't go.."
And they took forever to text back, so you checked what time you sent the text, calculated how long it took for them to reply, and tried to make them wait longer before you send your next response.
I thought I was alone!

Furthermore, it's not a homepage that's siloed or separate from the experiences of others. Every time you log-on, Facebook has to pull data and updates from hundreds or thousands of friends and condense them into the 45 most interesting updates that appear in your news feed. Today at the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, the company's vice president of engineering Mike Schroepfer talked about the sheer amount of data Facebook's system has to wade through. By the numbers, here's the data Facebook has to parse through: People spend 8 billion minutes online on Facebook every day. There are 2 billion photos uploaded each month and 20 billion total. There are 15,000 other partners accessing Facebook data through its Connect service. Yesterday, the company serviced over 5 billion API calls. Facebook Platform is growing at a much faster rate than the web site. Schroepfer said Facebook's architecture is fundamentally different from its predecessors. "The way most traditional web sites scale is a really well-understood pattern: more people show up, I add more servers and I split up my databases," he said. "It's a perfectly horizontally scalable problem. You can literally throw more machines at the problem." He said when Facebook originally launched, it was like this. The company had separate college networks where people could only friend others at their university. But it changed when the company started letting people find friends from different universities, and then again in 2006, when anybody could join the social network. "Doing this on a traditional infrastructure is not feasible," he said. Facebook responded by building a multi-feed system that can calculate 50 million operations per second. "It's custom-tuned to allow you to see what's happening in your friend network right now and give that result in between zero and 20 milliseconds." They took an open-source distributed memory system called Memcache and customized it, scaling it up more than five times. Schroepfer said Facebook's culture emphasizing rapid development and big-broad thinking among small teams was key to this. Today the company has 1.2 million users for every engineer it has. VentureBeat is studying mobile marketing automation. Chime in, and we'll share the data.

Tokarski Adapting Well in AHL, Looks to Prove Critics WrongSubmitted by corine72 on December 13, 2009 - 20:53
Dustin Tokarski finished with 1.97 goals-against average, and won a career-high of 34 games during his last junior season.The question will be if he can acclimate to the NHL, despite his 5-foot-11 frame.
Becoming a forward didn't keep Norfolk Admirals rookie Dustin Tokarski's interest.

Ashton hopes to ride Subway to WJHCSubmitted by chad on November 25, 2009 - 10:51
(Saskatoon StarPhoenix) During the next week, [Lightning 2009 first rounder] Carter Ashton will tote his Lethbridge Hurricanes hockey bag through three provinces for four games.
He'll tangle with familiar WHL foes in Saskatoon, Prince Albert and Medicine Hat. But first, the 18-year-old winger has a Thursday date with the Russians in Kelowna, B.C.
"A lot of people will be watching that game," says Ashton, who'll represent Team WHL in the finale of the Subway Super Series. "It's another step towards the process (of earning an invitation to the national junior team's selection camp)."

Witkowski Not Just Biding His Time With WMU HockeySubmitted by chad on November 5, 2009 - 12:49
(Kalmazoo Gazette) When he was 9 years old, defenseman Luke Witkowski visited Western Michigan University, watched a hockey game, went into the locker room and decided then he wanted to play hockey for the Broncos.
Ten years later, he's a freshman blueliner paired with senior Tyler Ludwig as the Broncos (4-3-0, 0-2-0 CCHA) prepare to host Lake Superior State in a home series Friday and Saturday at Lawson Ice Arena. ...

Bolt Prospects 2009-2010 Preliminary RankingsSubmitted by pete on October 11, 2009 - 15:07
Now that the 2009-2010 season is fully underway, it's time for Bolt Prospects to engage in the annual ritual of submitting its October Preliminary Rankings. This is going to be a fascinating season for the Lightning's prospects, as Norfolk looks like it has the most depth its had since the Lightning affiliated itself with the Admirals franchise and a deep 2009 NHL Entry Draft has given Lightning fans much to look forward to in the junior ranks. But, before we proceed, lets go over the ground rules again.
Bolt Prospects considers a prospect skater to be any player under the age of 24 on opening night of the season who has played less than 41 NHL games in any given season and who has not played more than 82 career NHL games. For goaltenders, any player who has less than 30 NHL decisions in a single season and less than 41 career NHL decisions is still considered a prospect. The exception to these rules is an NCAA player, who is considered a prospect for however long they remain in school. Clear as mud? Wonderful. Let's begin...
