It's 2011 and I'm tickled pink!
If There's One Design Question That Gets Asked More Than Any Other, It's This:
"What is the newest color?"
Ah! What a fun question! I think you'll be surprised at the answer…
We are all ready to firmly shut the door on 2010, and Pantone's Color of the Year lets us do that in a grand, optimistic way. The color we are all excited about right now is called Honeysuckle.
Here's What Pantone Has to Say About This Intriguing New Hue:
"A Color for All Seasons- Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It's a color for every day – with nothing "everyday" about it."
Easy Ways to Use This Confident Color in Your Own Home:
• Add excitement to the powder room by using C2 Paint's "Lip Service" as your knock 'em dead accent. Buh-bye boring beige!!!
• Liven up your tastefully neutral sofa by tossing on some cheerful accent pillows in a bold, graphic print
• Don't forget fresh flowers - instant cheer!
• How about introducing this color into the dining room with napkins and a table runner?
• Paint the wall behind the bed in the Master Bedroom this color, and then layer a platinum, metallic glaze on top for instant romance.
Thank you, Robin, for these wonderful ideas!
Cheers, Tami Michaels

All though the roof is an integral component of all building, people tend to skittish about attempting to do any repairs. However one should never avoid fixing the roof of your home or other structures you have responsibility for. Regardless of the roof type or condition, it is important to handle problems as they arise to prevent more serious and expensive roof problems in the future. Following the tips outlined here will help make your roof repair projects easier as well as much safer.
Types of Roofs and Effects of the Weather
Knowledge the difference of roof types will make ones roof repair project come together more effectively. Each roof configuration has a particular set of unique qualities and physical characteristics that determine the necessary repair procedure. The local weather can even play a significant role as to when roof repairs should be implemented. Examples could be: • Wooden Shingles are brittle when dried out and break easily, by dampening them slightly will make them easier to work with. Plan your repairs on a cool day or if possible after a light rain. You could also use a hose with a sprayer set to a light setting to moisten the shingles before you begin. • • Asphalt Shingles, on the other hand, are brittle when cold and too pliable when very hot, they become quite slick when wet. Asphalt shingle repairs are best accomplished on days that have moderate temperatures. • • Shakes and Shingles are prone to breaking and oft times require replacement. In order to keep shakes and shingles in place, they have to be nailed. Never hammer on the replacement pieces. To prevent them from breaking, hold a board in front of the shingle or shake while nailing.
Make Yourself Aware of Roofing Safety Issues.
Roof repairs can be dangerous and precautions need to be taken. Shingles can be slippery. Steep slopes increase the chances of a serious fall. Know what to expect and plan accordingly. Take measures to ensure the safety of everyone on the roof as well as on the ground. Here are some safety tips: • Use good quality safety harnesses. Secure them to a secure anchor point. • Wear work shoes with soles that are designed to grip the roofing materials you are working on. • Inspect the roof for loose and broken shingles, slick slopes or holes in the sheathing. Doing this prior to starting any work. • Never go on to a roof during a storm, or immediately after one has passed, doing so greatly increases the risk of a serious accident or fall. Hiring a Professional Licensed Roofing Contractor is well worth Considering. Following these basic tips can insure that your minor roof repair jobs will be safer and easier to complete. However, there are circumstances when a hired a professional roofing contractor is a much better solution. Replacements or major roof repairs require extensive knowledge and special tools. Professional roofing contractors will posses the special knowledge, skill and tools to repair or replace your roof. Plan all needed roof repairs ahead of time. Consider the scale of the work needed. Check for insurance issues and the need for expert services. Arrange for a professional to do the work if you require it. And never ignore roof problems they won't go away on their own.

Well, that's why talks with Malky Mackay for the Crystal Palace manager job came to a screeching halt. Racist, sexist & homophobic text messages between the then-Cardiff City manager and his-then sporting director, Iain Moody (in the same position with Palace until today), is not a good look to being employed in football again.
And that's just the salacious stuff — apparently Cardiff owner Vincent Tan's investigators located numerous amounts of questionable stuff about Moody & Mackay's transfers for Cardiff.
Crystal Palace now has two major vacancies to fill and the FA has a big problem on its hands.

Probing momentum distributions in magnetic tunnel junctions via hot-electron decay
Jansen, R. and Banerjee, T. and Park, B.G. and Lodder, J.C. (2007) Probing momentum distributions in magnetic tunnel junctions via hot-electron decay. Applied physics letters, 90 (19). pp. 1-3. ISSN 0003-6951
Restricted to UT campus only: Request a copy
|The tunnel momentum distribution in a magnetic tunnel junction is probed by analyzing the decay
of the hot electrons in the Co metal anode after tunneling, using a three-terminal transistor structure
in which the hot-electron attenuation is sensitive to the tunnel momentum distribution. Solid state
amorphous Al2O3 barriers and the vacuum barrier of a scanning tunneling microscope are
compared. For the former the attenuation length in nominally the same Co is strikingly larger factor
of 2, implying a more isotropic tunnel momentum distribution for Al2O3 barriers.

-Every single photo I post, is my own.-
My name is Heather.
Nature is my one true passion.
I live my life studying it,
observing it,
enjoying, and of course,
photographing it.
All the photos in this blog are my own.
I'm a tree-hugging hippie,
it runs in my blood.
From the time I could walk,
I've been venturing in the forest.
I was always taught to love and appreciate
all the many wonders of nature.
And the older I get, the more I see, the more I study,
the more I know, the more I explore…
the deeper my love.
My closeness with nature,
is a closeness with God.
The one who created it all.
As for about me personally…
- I'll one day be a park ranger.
It's my dream job.
I've wanted it since I was little.
There isn't a job in the world that would suit me better.
I have such passion for the forest…
And I'll do anything to protect it.
- I'm an artist…
something I've always been passionate about.
My illustrations come from my heart.
I draw a lot about nature conservation,
emotions, and twisted lives.
Most of my drawings have hidden meanings.
I also make almost every type of jewelry…
ranging from hemp, to butterfly wing earrings, to natural stone and sterling jewelry.
-I've been doing a deep study on nature for the past year.
I've always studied it, but this year, it's on a different level.
I realized, I'm 21, and now's the time I need to do all the
things I've always wanted to. Now is the time to learn.
I was home schooled most of my life,
and learning on my own has always been best for me.
I spend my days in the woods…
Studying moss, and lichen…
collecting mushrooms, and spore printing…
studying the habits on insects, and observing spiders…
learning the skeletal structures of animals…
hunting for fossils…
and anything else related to nature.
I intend on writing a book…
I've been working on it for years.
-I'm IN LOVE with rock climbing!
Bouldering is one of my very favorite things to do.
I live in a very cliffy area, I have lots of rock to climb on.
As soon as I see a rock or cliff,
I'm thinking of routes up.
I'm constantly thinking of climbing…
and the more I do it, the more addicted I become.
It's so amazing.
- I love gardening,
There's just nothing better than growing your own food.
I'm very skeptical of the food industry,
and very particular about what I put into my body.
My house is a garden… plants everywhere.
I grow flowers of all kinds,
succulents, cacti, herbs, and vegetables.
-Photography has always been part of my life.
My photos are everything to me.
Ever since I've had a camera,
my life has been laid out in photos.
I use two cameras…
a Sony digital…
and a 1962 Topcon 35mm manual.
Over the last few years…
I've really began to see all the flaws of society.
The corruptions… the media… all the hidden truths…
and the monotony of the confined day to day life.
It's to the point where I no longer want to be part of it.
I've found my very heart is in the forest.
It's home,
the place I find peace…
the place I find childlike wonder…
the place I find myself.
Where everything is wild,
and all is free.
This is the society I love and respect.
I'm a very complex individual…
I am interested in almost everything.
I enjoy being different…
and I'm satisfied and in tune with who I am.
I've got many flaws, but I'm working on it.
I'm an artist, a photographer,
an explorer, an adventurer,
a dreamer and a lover.
Live free.

Best thermostat span setting?
Does a thermostat's span setting have any affect on the amount of energy used?
My digital thermostat has a span setting of 1,2, or 3 degrees. With the 1 degree setting, it doesn't run very long when it is on, but it turns on and off more often. With the 3 degree span, it doesn't kick on as often, but it runs longer.
For whatever reason, I just dislike to hear a unit cycling on and off all the time; it just gives me the impression it's using more energy, but it may have nothing to do with anything.
My house is older, and I'm sure the insulation is not up to par with a modern home, but again, that may not make a difference with the span setting.
Just to make clear, I'm asking if one is going to make my bill higher, or in my case, use more propane, or does it all equal out? One runs longer but kicks on less often, while the other runs shorter, but kicks on more often.
The bigger span will use less energy. Probably not enough to notice on your heating bill.
There is some wasted heat to heating up the furnace and ducts every time it comes on. Also the house will be a few degrees colder some times which will save money.
Guyod, not that I doubt your word but, do you have any reference to substantiate your reply?
I too have an offset/differential T-stat and often wondered the same as house92.
It's ok with me if other people post answers as well. Surely there are people here who know a little about thermostats.
I've heard that programmable t-stats actually will cost you more money by having to re-heat the home after being lowered during the 'away' periods. All the walls, floors, ceilings and furniture in the home will have to be brought back to temp. This is similar to setting your offset to a couple of degrees to prevent short cycling. I hope the pros chime in or someone with time on their hands to search for supporting or contradicting information helps us out here.
I've noticed something this evening. It was in the upper 50s when i came home this evening and my heat had been off today. It was 67 degrees in the house. It has rained all day and there was a chill in the air, so I decided to turn the heat on to get rid of the chill. I have it on 70 at a 3 degree span.
I turned it on, it ran for a few minutes and heated to a low 72. It's been over an hour, and the temp is at 70 and the unit has not yet come back on; however, if it were on the 1 degree span, it would have cycled a few times.
So, I guess there are times when the longer span is better.
The next generation of thermostats if we are even going to still call them that are already coming to the market. They have some artificial intelligence and learn from how you adjust them. The step after that they are being tied into the internet and will anticipate future weather. That's where the biggest savings will come from. Our 1,2 or 3 degree differential will also look ahead at what is trending outside both thru sensors and weather predictions even time of day etc. they will know when you are home and away and when you should be arriving back. These systems also have the ability to correct for peaks and valleys in the power grid.
Few reads.

Lord Derek Malory is the highest bidder - a dashing rakehell from a family of charming London rogues. Enthralled by the lovely young woman with shining eyes and dark hair, he purchases her to be his mistress, unaware of the true worth of his prize. He never imagined that this woman he so frivolously acquired would be blessed with all the attributes he was looking for in a wife - grace, wit, intelligence, as well as beauty. He certainly never expected to fall in love.

"Something Different"
I read/listened to all of the Mallory books. I have to say that this one is a bit darker than the others. Unlike the other stories where the heroine is rescued, this time she is taken by a truly sick and demented person. If it weren't a Lindsey novel, I would wonder if she was going to make it out alive.
The reader is also different which takes some getting used to. He is not bad, just different.
"Excellent book"
I read the Malory novels out of order so I read this book last. I love the series and this one was definitely not a disappointment! Derek is as loveable as all of her other male characters. I loved listening to the way he obviously adored Kelsey. The narrator really bothered me though. He made all the men sound ridiculous, especially Anthony and James, and he made Rosilyn sound like Mother Goose. Still loved the book though.
"Horrible Narrator...ruined the book for me"
I've listened to most of the Mallory books and while the regular narrator has annoying habits that had begun to grate on my nerves, I'm very disappointed in the narrator of this book. His voice in regular reading mode is pleasant, but his voices are horrible. All of the men sound so haughty and dispassionate I can't seem to even like Derek. The other Mallory family voices are just as snooty sounding...I don't even like James and Anthony in this book and they are my favorite Mallorys. Pity I think I would have liked the book with Laural Merlington as the narrator and I had just written a review about how annoying I was beginning to find Merlington and wished for a different narrator. Be careful what you wish for...
avid reader
"Just OK"
This book really didn't do anything for me. The characters are kind of bland, and the idle lifestyle and snobbery portrayed by the Mallory family in this story was a bit annoying. I've read other books in this series (such as Jeremy's story in "A Loving Scoundrel") that were much more enjoyable.
"a farce"
An unbelievable regency romp. If you're a romance writer you should stick to that genre. The "crime' was unbelievable and the evil caricatures of the bad guys were ludicrous.
As described by others, the narrator has a pleasant speaking voice but when it came to his characters, it was abysmal. The men all sounded like buffoons and as for the women, I kept hearing the Little Britain boys saying "I'm a lady! That's what I am, a lady!"
I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
"Long ago..."
I'm a JL fan and actually have most of her books. This is my first audio book that I've gotten of hers. Maybe I've enjoyed other stories she has written better???? This one was on sale so I grabbed it. Anyway I was just bored. It could be my taste has changed or just not one of her better novels? It's just not a very exciting listen for my taste. I haven't read her books in awhile but I do seem to remember the other books are more exciting than this one. If you haven't tried her books I would advise you to try one of her better books.
"total unbelievable story, bizarre narration"
a different plot and a less over the top narrator!
The premise is already wild, so I was expecting something less than realisitic, but the completely inexplicable and unneccessary piracy backstory and the ginormous cast of secondary characters that neither served a function nor were distinguishable from each other was ... bad.
Also the ending was far too deus ex machina and thus felt unearned.
Yes. Certainly books by this author and narrator. Give me some Georgette Heyer instead!
Rosalyn Landor, except I think she would be wasted on this!
All the unneccessary uncles and cousins that lead to the endless discussions of somehow totally socially acceptable piracy!
Not recommended.
I don't agree with the bad reviews. I love the evil character along the lines of the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo " villan and having an Egor-like side kick as Dr. Frankenstein would employ. Although the evil doings were softened up a bit and not so horrific but bad enough. I had to to listen to this book until the end. As I was not familiar with this series, I read this one first and realized there were more. I then started at the top and got to know the other characters.
""You'll Love to Say You Love Me""
Of course! I recommend audiobooks all of the time. I'm a relative newbie to the romance and erotic genre however, this book was fun because of all of the characters and the smart twist at the end.
I suppose I favor the male characters like Lord Malory. He's kind hearted and passionate and really is surprised when he falls in love.
Audiobooks are so very entertaining. It's almost like watching a play but your imagination can still be active when it comes to the characters and what they would look like. Audiobooks are the best ever!
The highest bidder becomes the best lover.
"Wonderfully written"
Beautifully read and well worth the price paid. A story of intimacy and trust, only received on the path to ruin for a young woman who tries to do the best for her family and younger sister through selling herself in a house of Eros. The passion and love that flare through a series of her (well meant) lies, and a jealous lord that is determined to have her for himself in any twisted way he can, show through the story in passion, lust and friendships that determine where and with who Kelsie finally ends up. Brilliant.

It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I was hooked and liked this book VERY much. Not so much a who-dun-it, as a where-are-they. This story is a tangle of one complex family and an illustrious, legendary artist. He effected the girls when they were girls...which in turn made him effect the women, when they were women. He struggles through his fame, unable to hold relationships, unable to open the doors to his heart very wide or for very long. The women move on and make due with a chasm of unspoken resentment and pain stuck fast between them. This was a real story, plausible. Misunderstanding, lack of communication, assumption. Love, fear, misconception, lies and secrets. Ornithology, birdsong, hands reaching out into nothingness, crippling illness, money and peerless art. Abandoned children, mothers in prison, mothers in secret, mothers dead. The twists were indeed twisty and surprising. A reminder about what life can look like at 'the end' when we've lived with our heads in the sand. End game. Who loses? Who flies away? Who joins the flock?

It's another big Wednesday night in college hoops. Three bubble teams have home games against top 15 opponents, so we will see who really wants to earn their way into an at-large bid. Let's jump into the breakdowns:
#8 Marquette at Cincinnati – 7:00 PM ET on ESPN2 (****)
- Buzz Williams' team continues to impress. Even a suspension of four of its best players for at least one half couldn't stop Marquette from winning at West Virginia last Friday. Now the Golden Eagles will look to add another quality road win to an already sparkling resume. Jae Crowder's campaign for Big East Player of the Year is gaining steam as he ranks in the top 10 in the conference in points per game (17.6), rebounds per game (7.7), steals per game (2.9), field-goal percentage (52.4%), and offensive rating (123.9). He and Darius Johnson-Odom are the most potent and consistent one-two punch in the league, and they both have versatile games that should thrive against the Cincinnati zone defense. Marquette leads the conference in scoring but must adapt to the Bearcat attack that plays at a slow pace and limits turnovers.
- The last time the Bearcats were on national television, they had another ranked Big East foe at home in what Rick Pitino called the best home court advantage his team had faced all season. Cincinnati will look to mimic that environment in this game, facing the high-flying Golden Eagles. To slow down Marquette, Cincinnati needs a big game from its veteran guards who can control pace and hit shots. As a team, the Bearcats commit just 9.6 turnovers per game, best in the conference, and they score 31.5% of their points from the three-point line. Dion Dixon, Cashmere Wright, and Sean Kilpatrick will win or lose this game for Cincy. It will be up to Yancy Gates to keep the Marquette defense honest inside as well as trying to shut down Crowder in the paint.
- This game is a pick'em in Vegas, which feels accurate. Cincinnati will be fired up on Senior Night and a win over a top 10 opponent will guarantee its entrance into the Big Dance, but Marquette has been simply fantastic in Big East play, winning 12 of its last 13 games in a variety of fashions. As a believer in this Bearcats team, I think they pull this one out and lock up a postseason bid.

Dyson's Hand Vacuum Gets Turbocharged
If Dyson's last hand vacuum was a race car, the new DC59 Motorhead is a rocket, boasting 75% more power on carpets.
If Dyson's last hand vacuum was a race car, the new DC59 Motorhead is a rocket, boasting 75% more power on carpets.
The words "Dyson" and "value" have probably never appeared in the same sentence. Dyson, after all, is the UK-based manufacturer on a seemingly unending quest to discover better, more expensive ways to move air. And the company's done it again with the DC59 hand vacuum. The successor to the DC44 Animal, the DC59 looks similar, but is actually a completely new vacuum. Dyson redesigned its hand vacuum with an upgraded motor, more airflow chambers and a better battery.
Dyson is getting back to its roots. After messing around with space heaters and radical concept sinks, the UK-based company is rocking the vacuum boat again, this time with a powerful handheld model and its first vacuum that will only be available in the United States. The Dyson DC59 is the latest iteration of the company's handheld product, which the company claims is as powerful as an upright vacuum.
Cleaning up after your pet can be a little messy. Hair gets everywhere and when it comes time to vacuum the floors you spend half your time unclogging your conventional vacuum. With that common struggle in mind, the innovators at Dyson created a tool to tackle those hairy jobs. The Dyson Tangle-free Turbine tool attaches to your Dyson vacuum and uses two counter-rotating brush heads. The dual heads are what make this design different than the brush bar design of other vacuums.
The innards of vacuum cleaners are getting so small, you'll soon be able to wear one around your wrist, with its business end enclosing your hand like a mitten. That's the vision of designer Christian Sallustro of the University of Florence, Italy, whose concept for a wearable vacuum might come in handy for some situations. Don his Magic Glove, and suddenly you're vacuuming every which way with natural motions, as if this colorfully designed contraption were an extension of your hand.

America's Best Dive Bars
An open love letter to the dive bar, with a list of some of the country's best and truest examples.
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart once opined that pornography is tough to define, but "I know it when I see it." I feel the same way about dive bars. Over the last decade, I've covered the bars, beer, and booze beat with a liver-pummeling, coast-to-coast focus. I've imbibed high and low, sipping exquisitely calibrated cocktails in suit-and-tie joints and glugging Styrofoam buckets of Bud in graffiti-covered cockroach lairs. Thus, I have a clear concept about what constitutes a dive bar.
For starters, it's cost. "What makes a dive bar is prices," Jimmy Duff, whose eponymous Brooklyn joint serves up ear-splitting heavy metal and PBR for a buck, once told me. "Even if you're serving beer out of a port-a-john, it's dirt-cheap drinks that attract a cast of characters." That's why I love New Orleans' Ms. Mae's, where cocktails start at a dollar and the conversations with the ne'er-do-wells are priceless.
Secondly, I like a dive to have an off-kilter shtick. That doesn't mean setting up a beer-pong table. I'm talk about the kind of offbeat, um, entertainment, found at Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon in Austin, Texas. On Sundays, patrons place bets on a chicken defecating on a number-covered board. If the No. 2 hit your number, you win!
Next, dive bars are idiosyncratic and unable to be replicated. Take Bubba's Sulky Lounge in Portland, Maine. It's crammed with taxidermied critters, lunch boxes, ice cream parlor equipment, and a light-up disco dance floor. The collection has to be accreted over time, which is the most crucial element for defining a dive bar: It's the layers of stickers at San Francisco's Toronado, and the currency tacked to the ceiling at Alaska's Salty Dawg.
Dive bars aren't born; they're created as the years dissolve into decades, and the customers grow ever more curmudgeonly — in the best way possible. Here are some of my favorite dive bars in America. What are yours?

I went into this article with the condition that there was no way I could take this article seriously unless the 5 Point Cafe was listed. Thank you for not disappointing me.
The 5 Point Cafe in Seattle - truly one of the world's best dives and diners, with great food, stiff drinks, a moose head with bras, a periscope in the men's room where you can view the Space Needle, and the best eclectic cast of characters as customers. Open 24 hours as a real dive should be. http://www.the5pointcafe.com
I have to agree with you 100%. Seattle rock and roll combined with awesome steak and eggs, bloody marys, tattoos, and piercings. The 5 Point is awesome.
Nowhere Bar and GA bar--Athens, GA
King Eddy Saloon - 5th & Los Angeles St (on the "nickel") Downtown Los Angeles (with secret tunnels)
You can get a Bloody Mary for $ 3.25 and "biscuits, hash browns, sausage and gravy" for $ 3.25 at 6 AM - Monday through Sunday.
The last time I was there with my girlfriend, she bought almost three rounds, for the four of us, including her son and his friend.
They were drinking Boilermakers, shots in a draft beer glass; Whiskey and Coke, for me, and Bud Ponies, two, for her.
When she pick-up the tab, with what would have been close to a "Ben Franklin" on the Westside (of Downtown) with tip; Lesley flatly declared, after seeing the check, "The King Eddy's my favorite bar." - TK
Don't miss the best dive bar in America, Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa, FL
The Old Pink on Allen Street in Buffalo, NY. Toilet paper is chained to the wall in the ladies room. AWESOME steak sandwiches.
mmm, PBR for a buck. i'd pour that swill into the port-a-john
Love Toronado. Also, The Raven in D.C.!
That's right! How could I forget The Raven. Good times...
Holy Avocado I was so happy to see Ms. Mae's front and center in this article, like a second home to Mr. Avocado for 4 years, they let me in when I was 18 and never kicked me out after I had a few too many 2 dollar well drinks, Katrina knocked it around a bit but they were alive and kicking faster than most places because Mae knew how important this place was to that community. Foosball? check. Juke Box? Check. Abita on tap? check. Open all the time? check.
Hey, Alexis:
I love the Turkey's Nest (only bar where I've ever been strangled), and the Wakamba is great, but the prices ain't. And Arthur, Lucy's is a classic. I'll have to check out Replay next time I cruise across the country.
Lucy's is great. So are Botanica (Nolita), the Distinguished Wakamba Cocktail Lounge (Hell's Kitchen), and the Turkey's Nest (Williamsburg).
But, I must say, it's a complete travesty to leave the Replay Lounge in Lawrence, Kansas, off of your list. Best (worst?) dive bar I've ever had the pleasure of frequenting.
I used to walk by the Turkey's Nest twice a day too and from work. It always seemed too-too for me. But I liked that it was there. Still do.
Great last line: "Dive bars aren't born; they're created as the years dissolve into decades. "
Lucy's on Avenue A near E9th Street in the East Village is one of my all-time favorites.

MIAMI — Q: Is it a concern that the Heat are getting killed on the boards during their first few preseason games? I just hope this isn't a pattern that carries over into the season. -- Kevin.
A: Keep in mind that unlike other teams with powerful front lines, the Heat tend to be a team that rebounds by committee, with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade integral parts of that committee. With those two playing limited minutes in the preseason, it is difficult to get a true read on where the rebounding stands. Plus, two of the three exhibitions were against a Clippers teams desperately attempting to establish DeAndre Jordan as an inside force.

How To Order A Croissant
Ordering a croissant is a perilous enterprise. It forces lovers of French pastries between the Scylla of pretension and the frying pan of provincialism. Actually that's understating the case: The perils are not two, but manifold.
If you attempt the proper French pronunciation, krwa-san, and succeed, you'll seem snobby. If you trip over the guttural R, as so many non-native speakers do, you'll seem pseudointellectual.
If you go for the namby-pamby middle ground, kwa-san, replacing the guttural R with a W, you'll sound terrible… and namby-pamby.
You could avoid these dangers by pronouncing the word in a straightforward American accident: kruh-sant. But then you'll quite possibly become the [...]
Your Street Probably Smells Like Semen Right Now—But It Might Not Next Spring
On a mild April night some years ago, I walked past a college dorm in New Haven and smelled something I couldn't place. It reminded me vaguely of swimming pools. Was it chlorine? I sniffed again, more deeply than before. Suddenly I knew exactly what it was and hurried away, internally berating an unseen teenage boy. A few evenings later, in the same spot, I smelled it again. Filled with a sense of moral outrage I looked around, I looked up, and identified the culprit: A tree.
More precisely, a Callery Pear, or Pyrus calleryana, a deciduous tree that's common throughout North America. It blossoms in early spring and produces [...]

Fed Confirms It Was Hacked By AnonymousSubmitted by SteveMT on Wed, 02/06/2013 - 01:59
Anonymous cracks the Federal Reserve d-base. Nice work.
Fed Confirms It Was Hacked By Anonymous
As was reported on Monday, among the numerous files hacked and leaked in the past week by the Hacker group Anonymous was a database of some 4606 regional bankers together with copious amounts of confidential information, which according to Anonymous' twitter account was sourced at the very Federal Reserve, which in turn would imply that the Fed itself had been hacked.
It would also imply that our rhetorical suggestion to Anonymous from nearly two years ago had actually been taken seriously. To wit, from March 2011: "perhaps in the aftermath of the IMF "very major breach" by anonymous hackers, it is really time to make sure all external access points to FedWire and FedLine are truly safe and sound. It will be very sad if it is uncovered that this source of externally accessible portal to hundreds of billions in emergency Fed funding has been somehow compromised. Just imagine the loss of confidence in the system... Why, a global distributed attack would really stretch the Fed's 1,200-strong police force quite thin." Moments ago the Fed confirmed that it had, indeed, been hacked by Anonymous.

Is Anonymous The New AlCia DA
So let me set this possible situation. The Fed deletes all acounts across its network and claimes to be hacked by Anonymous Terrrrizts from some country say Iran or China or Russia or just put in any name. FOr those who didnt get their accounts deleted it will cause a panic for them as well. They will run to get their money from bank accounts.
This is another intentional financial collapse, I predict Japan will be the trigger. How much fiat digitized money can a private central bank counterfiter pump into a nation before it explodes then implodes? I think it will be in about six months.
It ain't me.
Good Lord. I so wish I did, though. If only for fun.
Cool stuff, anyway, if true.
I don't expect us to bring down the "Federal
Reserve Enslavement System" that way, but that's neat to make them itchy if possible.
Them CROOKS. COUNTERFEITERS. LEECHES. PARASITIC MAD MEN they are.

Anonymous Audit would be grand
Maybe a congressional audit of the Fed won't be needed.
That is a beautiful comment.
lol. You just made my day with that one!
When I first found out about anonymous
they were trying to expose Scientology. I think it was about a dozen of them, they never had huge crowds at their protests. Oh, and they did LIVE protests.
Sort of like back when a handful of us used to wave home made Ron Paul signs... then one day the "Tea Party" comes along and "our" movement has audio systems and speaking tours and leaflets that just appeared out of nowhere...
All of the sudden anonymous became this big political activism group, and it seemed like anyone with a Fawkes mask and youtube channel started claiming they were anonymous. I suspect that somewhere, there is a core group of real hacktivists, who probably hate their infiltrators as much as we hate the Tea Party usurpers, but what do you do? Be grateful for the press they bring you, try to use what is useful, and watch your back.
Hollywood has given them the script for the perfect hack - jam up the satellites so the only channel they can watch is yours, then lay down serious truth. Facts only, please. While many theories are worth serious investigation, there are plenty of cold, hard facts to awaken the sheep IF you get on the damn TV they worship.
Love or fear? Chose again with every breath.
I dont buy any of this crap and remain skeptical
So what is the purpose of Anonymous? They just creep in and hack sites? Really? If they had this credo of persevering net freedom and what ever else they stand for then why are they just making threats? what are they waiting for? Why are these government agencies do nonchalant and eager to admit they have been hacked?
I know we all want the Lone Ranger but frankly I think its nothing but the Joker....JM2C

I agree.If Anonymous was
I agree.If Anonymous was truly on the side of the people they wouldn't be attacking government sites because that would only lead to more internet security measures in the name of national security and then eventually full control of the internet.I would bet my siver eagles Anonymous is a government flase flag.
Anonymous is like the character Ragnar Danneskjöld...
in Atlas Shrugged. They target organizations that deserve to be hacked. Like you say, maybe they are actually just a government group, but doesn't what they are doing feel good?
I think thats more plausible
than anything I've read. Great observation and I am leaning to your conclusion.
For Freedom!
The World is my country, all mankind is my brethren, to do good is my religion.
They give the little man hope,....
like the chicken crossing the road to show the opossum that if could be done. Anonymous is like the character Emmanuel Goldstein in 1984. They are the "mindless perimeter" with a laptop.
Steve, I'll salute them when they do something that has value. They haven't done a thing but demonstrate they can access a mainframe....If they even exist at all....
I get your point and appreciate it but I'm still a skeptic
For Freedom!
The World is my country, all mankind is my brethren, to do good is my religion.
Part of me wants to cheer and part of me wants to know why none
of it has been released.. Also I wonder if it ever will be. What good is hacking something like that and never releasing it.
Sure, it's an embarrassment but they'll just smooth it over and get back to business, meanwhile, there will be cries for more control over the net..
Not sure what to believe.. hopefully, in time, other things will come out.

this is another case of "problem > reaction > solution" if this had been a REAL hack they would have not said a word to the press

"Great Men Do Not Seek Power, They Have Great Power Thrust Upon Them"
Could be.. It defintely could be a false flag..
CIA hacks the Fed.. "steals money" maybe for real.. then blames it on Anon or is Anon and the rest of the gubbermint screams bloody murder and rushes a crackdown bill on the net.
Who knows but even if that all happens like I laid out.. it's still not a loss because the more they oppress people, the more people will feel claustrophobic and want to break free.
Not all of course.. some love being held down.

Don't feed the pandas. Ever.
It would be nice to have a group of really smart really
benevolent people gain control for the good. That's probably a pipe dream.
Or not..
I have felt for a while now, that "anonymous" is a government controlled group. they're using "anonymous" to create the problem and of course, getting control of the internet is the solution. It will be the same fear mongering horseshit they use to get control of everything else. It's for your own good, they'll say. anyways, I'd be careful about making this story a big deal. It might not work out in your favor.
I think westboro baptist church is the same kind of thing too but they are working on destroying the first amendment.
Doesn't matter. Like Wikilinks, anything that does damage...
the Fed, in appearances or not, weakens the hold on us.
If it's real they'll deny it. If fake they'll flaunt it.
at least that's the usual pattern.
meanwhile, it's good news - the rest of us should celebrate it while it lasts!
Yeah, espionage. Now there's a slippery squirrel.
Don't feed the pandas. Ever.

RALEIGH, North Carolina — North Carolina's unemployment rate dipped slightly to 6.7 percent in September, but so is the number of people working, state officials said Tuesday.
The state unemployment rate declined from 6.8 percent in August. The national unemployment rate fell to 5.9 percent last month. Part of the reason North Carolina's jobless rate is higher than the national average is that the state attracts and retains more young workers, said Josiah Baker, an economics professor at Methodist University in Fayetteville.
"The question is are these new jobs that are being created, are they going to pull educated people from other parts of the country to North Carolina, or are people in North Carolina with these qualifications going to be the ones that actually get these jobs. That's a critical question, because more people are moving into North Carolina," he said.
While the unemployment rate fell and nearly 4,600 fewer people were counted among the jobless in September, the number of working people also decreased. There were 5,600 fewer people working in September than in August.
But the picture is better by looking back to September 2013, when the state unemployment rate was 7.7 percent. Since then the number of people employed increased by 18,205 to 4,335,408. The number of jobless people declined by 49,243 over the year.
The strongest segment for growth in the past year was in white-collar professional and business-services jobs, which added 42,300 jobs.
"Those are generally higher wage jobs, college graduates pursue those jobs and so there is an indication that we're seeing growth that could be more long-term," Baker said. "There is the continual problem that we are having too many part-time jobs created and there are still too many low-wage jobs being created. We need more middle-wage jobs — jobs that pay enough to where you can have a significant amount of consumer spending, where you can build and maintain a household rather than just survival wages."
While the number of government jobs fell last month and stayed flat in the past year, average weekly hours for manufacturing workers increased in September, showing greater activity on the factory floor.
The greatest manufacturing employment growth in the past year was furniture and related product, which added 2,000 jobs.
"This is an encouraging sign that the overall economy is improving, that people are willing to spend money on furniture, which is something that people do when they have more money," Baker said.

At Rincon I realized I was within striking distance of home. Considering how much driving I had been doing home didn't seem far at all. My longest and most adventure filled trip was going to come to an end soon. My beard had really started to fill in. I looked at myself and asked had I really been gone that long? I looked 20 years older than I am with the beard. I need a shave.
So I headed home. I arrived in the evening. This adventure had come to an end. Although it was nice to be back at home, it seemed that nothing had changed since I was gone. Back to the old grind I suppose. Or back to the drawing board to plan another trip! Thanks for reading and looking at all the images!
I decided to forgo the surf along the Central coast. I figured I could make it to Rincon before dark with plenty of time to surf if there were waves. Well I managed to get myself into a huge traffic jam in Santa Barbara. It was The Friday before Halloween. 1000'S of kids and parents in costumes. It made me a bit to late to surf Rincon. I decided to just take a stroll along the point with my camera.
In San Simeon the Elephant Seals lazily lounged all over the beach. The big bulls competed for territory and the females and pups mingled in clumps and jockeyed for the warmest spots in the sun.
There were a lot of potentially good surf spots along the central coast. Here's one in Cambria. A couple of guys surfing and a few checking it out. Looked like a lot of bull kelp clogging the line up though.
I ended up in Morrow Bay and spent the night. I woke up in the morning to a fantastic sunrise. I didn't shoot any pics of it because I was to lazy. I also wanted to surf. I ended up not surfing and backtrack north a bit. I drove through the towns of Cayucos, Cambria and San Simeon. What a beautiful part of our California coast. This is considered Central California.
On the way back I wanted to surf at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. The waves were real small so I toured the town in my van a little bit. I just randomly drove around in an area I hadn't driven in yet. funny I stumbled across the Height Asbury intersection. I thought it was a pretty cool area. Another 1st for me. So I didn't surf in San Francisco this trip. Maybe next time.
I was real impressed with the waves and conditions at Half Moon Bay State Park. So here are a few random shots and memories of the surf and sunset.
A photographer rarely gets a shot of him or her self. I was surfing in the Humboldt Harbor and local legend Craig Spjut got a few of me. It was pretty nice of him to trade contact info and send the shots to me. So here it is, in all it's point & shoot glory. To give the shot a little more scale, my board is 9'6".
A few random shots and memories of Patrick's Point.
A few random shots and memories of Humboldt Harbor.
A few random shots and memories of Trinidad.
I really liked the small town feel of the Trinidad Police Department.
I found myself back in Humboldt County. I had surfing on my mind. Here is the best seat in the house to check the surf in Trinidad.
Back in California I stopped in Crescent City again. I surfed and watched the sunset at Point St. George. I had dinner, took a nap then did a night drive through the redwoods. There was a full moon that would pop in and out of the clouds illuminating the road. There was also lightning striking very near and in my line of sight. It was really exciting!
I stopped at fewer spots along the way south out of Oregon. The weather was bad and I was kind of in heading home mode. Here a shipwreck got my attention, a good reason to stop.

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you had an outfit all planned out in your head before you went to bed that night, but when you put it on the next morning, it didn't turn out as fabulous as you thought?
Maybe planning outfits the day before I wear them is just my fashion nerdiness getting to me, but surely you know what I mean. How can you spice up an outfit when it's bland, you're in a time crunch, or you just feel lost? The answer, ladies, is jewelry.
It is true that jewelry can make or break an outfit, so it should be added in small, yet significant doses. When many women think of jewelry, they think of necklaces, which are essential to an outfit.
A new building has been constructed to provide Los Alamos High School students with a better learning environment. And despite the fact that students go about their daily lives, something has been missing on campus, specifically, news targeted to meet the informational needs and interests of teens.
Beginning this week, LAHS students will be able to view a televised news program broadcast by students who bring them news about campus life.
The program is designed to reach students with current news and stories that make a difference and impact their daily lives. The 10- to 15-minute program will not only share news, but will also voice the opinions of various students around campus.
Despite the fact that Korn is considered Nu-metal, they have been rocking the minds of heavy metal fans with new sound, just shy of 20 years.
During those years, Korn has always been known as an innovative, edgy band. 2011 proved to be no different for the Berkeley, Calif. band.
"The Path Of Totality" was released on Dec. 2, 2011. Fans that have followed Korn since the 90s, may have a hard time following the band on this album, as it breaks away from the classic heavy bass and guitar sound to adopt dub-step beats.
With collaborations of big name dubstep artists such as Skrillex, Noisia and Kill The Noise, "The Path" boasted high chart-topping singles.
Teen Pulse staff member and LAHS sophomore MariaJaleh McTeigue asked LAHS students, "If you could choose one word that you want to focus on in 2012, what would it be?"

After reviewing the events of 2011, I feel the New Year should follow a few patterns.
First, President Barack Obama will most likely be reelected. None of the Republican candidates seem to stand much of a chance. Herman Cain's standing was absolutely decimated by the sexual harassment claims.
Rick Perry completely fell apart multiple times during the debates, which will hurt his credibility. None of the other candidates seem to be getting much public attention. With the announcement of the withdrawal from Iraq being so perfectly timed, Obama will probably return to office.
Whether this is good or bad for America is up to the historians of the future to decide.
I like to start off the New Year correctly where fashion is concerned. Sure, you may now know how to find pieces that fit right, but can you make them into an outfit that will look chic? It's all about using the right colors on the right clothes, in just the right places.
When I say colors, you're probably thinking, "Ooh, matching time!" Yes, it involves matching, but not quite.
Matching does not mean wearing flats with a cardigan, earrings and a necklace all in the same forest green. Let's not turn ourselves into walking trees, okay?

Kerrville, TX
The Kerrville Folk Festival is the area's largest and most famous folk music festival. Annually attracting over 30,000 visitors, the festival features established folk acts as well as giving up-and-coming acts a chance for exposure. Every year, the event is held at the Quiet Valley Ranch and many die-hards choose to camp at the ranch for the whole weekend, so bring the kids and bring grandma, as everyone loves folk music. Do not miss this opportunity to experience some authentic Texas sounds and charms and have a darn good time to boot.
Many beautiful parks and recreation areas line the shores of the Guadeloupe River as it winds through Kerrville. The largest and most popular is the Kerrville-Schreiner Park, located on the southern end of town. The park sprawls over 517 acres and is chock full of ways to spend an afternoon or weekend. The slow current of the river is perfect for a float on a tube of a splash in the shallows. Trout fishing is also great along this part of the river and campsites and RV hookups mean that the fun does not need to end when the sun goes down.
The Museum of Western Art in Kerrville displays art that pays tribute to the American West as it was experienced by the cowboys, Native Americans, and mountain men who fought to tame the land. The museum's constantly rotating exhibits of painting, sculpture, and artifacts are always top-notch and keep folks returning time and time again. The museum also runs the Western Art Academy, an event which is a four-week immersion program for talented young artists to display and develop their skills with a faculty of well known and successful Western artists. The Museum is open five days a week and admission is free for museum members.

Califia Farms juice lineup contains both Orange and Tangerine varieties. From our perspective, comparing the two is like, well, comparing oranges and oranges. The flavor of this one is slightly less sour and has more tang than the orange juice. Aside from this, the product is competing slightly less directly with mega brands like Tropicana (which is certainly a losing proposition). Still, it's hard to say if this product won't just be mistaken for orange juice anyway. The packaging is orange in color and doesn't look all that much different than Califia's Orange Juice variety. Still, it's the best looking product of the bunch thanks to it bright orange-colored label. This not only helps the package to stand out, but also makes the product slightly more appealing to the senses. Overall, this is a good product, but it's hard to know how well a brand like this can compete in the competitive orange juice category.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Valley Authority has agreed to consider using fuel made from weapons-grade plutonium to power reactors at its Sequoyah Plant near Chattanooga and Browns Ferry Plant near Athens, Ala.
The National Nuclear Security Administration said in a statement that an interagency agreement has been signed with TVA to "evaluate the use of mixed oxide fuel made from U.S. surplus weapons."
TVA spokesman Terry Johnson said the proposal is being considered as part of a national defense mission -- helping the government dispose of surplus weapons materials -- and as a possible low-cost nuclear fuel.
A spokesman for the Friends of the Earth environmental group, Tom Clements, said it is essential that TVA not get any shortcuts in a full test schedule that would take about seven years.

Is This the Real Joaquín "el Chapo" Guzmán?
I recently received an anonymous tip on a piece I wrote last year that catalogued some of the ingenious narco-smuggling tech used by Guzmán, the world's most powerful and wealthy cartel boss. His methods run the gamut from ancient Grecian artillery (weed catapults) to sly business fronts (his one-time jalapeño company thrived off cans of coke-stuffed peppers) to million-dollar watercraft (narco submarines).
It's this whatever-works approach to providing Americans with a great deal of their drugs that has propelled his Sinaloa cartel to grim notoriety, and Chapo himself to mythic status across Mexico. Countless narcocorridos sing his high praises. And though he's known to frequent bustling urban areas, brazenly hiding in plain sight, few pictures of the man exist.

At least four major Islamic charities based in the U.S. are operating or sponsoring relief efforts in Libya. If these groups can truly assist refugees, that is commendable; but the origins, leadership, and troublesome links of these charities do not inspire trust and confidence in their operations.
We'll see if the State Department publishes a press release trumpeting the Islamic charities' work the way State did with Haiti.

The State Department has put a multimillion-dollar bounty on the heads of two Americans who the United States claims belong to an al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, CNN has learned.
Posters and matchbooks in Somali and English emblazoned with the names and pictures of Omar Shafik Hammami and Jehad Serwan Mostafa tout rewards up to $5 million each for information leading to their arrest or conviction. Both men are on the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List.
Image on matchbox to be distributed as part of the Rewards for Justice program
The rewards are being offered through the State Department's Rewards for Justice Program.
Hammami and Mostafa are members of Al-Shabaab, the al Qaeda affiliate in Somalia, and "have made significant contributions to this terrorist organization's media and military activities," according to a State Department statement on the rewards, obtained by CNN. They are both are believed to be in Somalia and speak English, Arabic and Somali.
A senior FBI official said the United States has information that both men "had a persistent interest in targeting U.S. interests" and are "believed to be involved in planning attacks on U.S. persons or property." But it is unclear what specific attacks against Americans, even ones that have been thwarted, these men have taken part in. Officials said that information is classified.
Hammami, a 29-year-old Alabama native, moved to Somalia in 2006. The State Department claims he joined Al-Shabaab there and received training from Islamic militants, rising through the organization's ranks to command a contingent of foreign fighters. Officials say he was also a "propagandist" for the group, helping to recruit English-speaking youth through writings, rap songs and video statements.
An Alabama court indicted him in 2009 on charges of providing support to a terrorist group.
In July 2011, the Treasury Department placed him on a blacklist prohibiting Americans from doing business with individuals and groups threatening stability in Somalia.
Hammami has been engaged in a public rift with Al-Shabaab over the past year. Last March, he first expressed concern about his safety in an extraordinary Web video. He has since criticized the group's leaders for corruption and living extravagant lifestyles with money fighters collect from Somali residents, and for fighting only in Somalia while ignoring global jihad.
Hammami's family has said they fear for his life.
But the senior FBI official told CNN that Hammami's current status with the group is "immaterial" and that the reward is based on the actions he has already taken to threaten U.S. interests.
"We still believe he is an individual of great significance to the activities that are going on in Somalia with Al-Shabaab," the official said.
Mostafa is believed to be either 27 or 32. He was born in Wisconsin before moving California, where he attended college. He traveled to Somalia in 2005, where officials say he led foreign fighters for Al-Shabaab and served as a media expert and recruiter. He was indicted in California on charges of providing material support to Al-Shabaab.
Al-Shabaab was labeled a foreign terrorist organization by the State Department in 2008. The group was responsible for the July 2010 suicide bombings in Kampala, Uganda, that killed more than 70 people, including a U.S. citizen, gathering to watch a World Cup final soccer match. Al-Shabaab is also believed to be responsible for numerous other attacks in Somalia that have killed international aid workers, journalists, civilian leaders and African Union peacekeepers.
In February 2012 the group's leader, Ahmed Abdi aw-Mohamed and al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri released a video announcing the alliance of the two organizations. The Rewards for Justice Program is already offering up to $7 million for information on seven other Al-Shabaab leaders.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the rewards before leaving office. Officials said they hope the rewards will generate new leads from both Somalia and in Somali-American communities in the United States. In addition to the posters and matchbooks, U.S. officials will be talking with local media in Somalia to reach people that may have information about the men's whereabouts.
It is rare for the United States to offer a reward for an American citizen. The most notable previous reward offered for an American was $1 million for Adam Gadahn, who has served as senior operative and spokesman for the core al Qaeda organization.

New reports are released every single day in Washington, but one that could prove to be of life or death importance was unveiled this week by The Henry Jackson Society, a bipartisan think tank headquartered in London. Al-Qaeda in the United States: A Complete Analysis of Terrorism Offenses holds up a mirror to America and provides us with a clear but terrifying image.
The report itself is more than 700 pages, and is a painstaking and meticulous review of all 171 al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda inspired terrorists who were either killed during their attacks or convicted in court here in the United States. Authored by Research Fellow Robin Simcox, the value of the data as a means of protecting Americans is underscored by the fact that the foreword was penned by General Michael Hayden, who previously led both the CIA and the NSA.
The excellent report challenges the post September11 conventional wisdom of who we thought al-Qaeda terrorists were—and are. It reveals that the bulk of the terrorists here are not highly trained foreign nationals infiltrating our borders to attack us, but our neighbors next door.
More than half of the terrorists were American citizens. A shocking 82% of the terrorists killed or convicted were U.S. residents. Ninety-five percent were men and they lived in states from coast to coast and all across the heartland. The highest numbers came from New York, Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota and California.
Another remarkable data point is that 52% of the attackers were college educated and nearly 60% were either pursing their education or employed at the time of their arrest. These facts punch gaping holes in the false and self-defeating assertion that those who hate America are driven to do so because they are ignorant or downtrodden. As Robin Simcox explained when I interviewed him recently, these people were not failed by our society; they were a part of it.
An inordinate number of the al-Qaeda terrorists were not born into radical Islam, but decided to embrace it later in life with the fervor of converts. Religious converts have made up 24% of all the terrorists and 95% of those converts were American citizens such as John Walker Lindh who pleaded guilty to assisting the Taliban.
One of the most striking things about this thorough study is how rigorously it steers clear of making policy recommendations. It provides the facts, and it is now up to those charged with developing our counter-terrorism and homeland security strategies to decide how best to use this information.
After all, safeguarding our citizens is not a Democrat or a Republican issue. It's not a left-wing or right-wing issue. It needs to be an American priority.
