Things got ugly Friday when former UFC Fighter Ken Shamrock took to Twitter to express his feelings on Dana White's recent comments about himself, Tito Ortiz, and his brother Frank Shamrock. This is the second time this month words have been exchanged between White and his former UFC stars, but these latest tweets leave few details of this bad blood to the imagination. @UFCTalk247 - he constantly disrespects me & my brother. He insults Tito every week and said randy did everything to Hurt the UFC -- KEN SHAMROCK (@ShamrockKen) September 28, 2013 @ShamrockKen you better start selling some of those McShamrock shake **** or whatever the get rich quick thing u r workin on is. -- Dana White (@danawhite) September 28, 2013 @danawhite - Dana the drink is good.

As if the free admission and impressive slate of jazz performances aren't enough of an excuse to head to the Phillips Collection this weekend for Jazz 'N Families Fun Days, add this reason to your list: We'll be there, and we want to hang out with you.
On Saturday, David Malitz and Anne Kenderdine will be on hand to introduce acts, including bassist Herman Burney and violinist David Schuman, our own Jess Righthand will perform jazz standards with her band at 2 (I've seen the set list — you won't be disappointed) and I'll be discussing the intersection of music and visual art right after that.
The music at the Phillips may whet your appetite for more jazz, so be sure to check out more events in the D.C. Jazz Festival and Jazz Loft.

Wow, what a great week, weekend, and morning I've had. Work has been busy, looks like rent will get paid after all!! Hee! Tim had 3 whole days off this weekend, so we spend extra TLC time together. Went to my Mom's on Saturday after work, had a wonderful dinner. Went to church yesterday, and came home and had ham, scalloped potatoes and carrotts..........and he said it was the "best meal I'd ever made." :) That always feels good to feed the hubby something he likes that has more nutrition in in then he usually gets out on the road. There was enough leftovers that he has most of the first part of this weeks meals to take with him already, which is good on the pocketbook and much better than eating out everyday...........which is what happens when we don't plan ahead.
I spent this morning at the Arboretum in Davis, which is my new fave place to walk. It's a 3.5 mile loop, with water, ducks, redwoods and lot's of other pretty plants and various animals at different times of the year, including turtles and lots of squirrels. I really love it there. It's nice to have a safe, pretty place to go walk, and I love knowing exacly how far it is, so I can try to beat my past times whenever I go. Lot's of people out walking, running and biking today. Very lovely. I jogged a bit of it, but not too much, I was sweating profusely just from my brisk walk. Felt great to start the day off with that.
I went over to my fave thrift store in Davis, and found a pair is very lightly used Dr. Marten's.......my fave boots. They are one of the nicest pairs I've seen. Brown leather, very, very great find. I was a bit shocked when I saw them, I never see those in thrift stores. A guy that works there commented on how nice they were and that he had his eye on them too............of course I had to snatch them up. With a pricetag of $10.00 bucks I couldn't resist. I usually don't pay more than $5.00 for thrift items, but these boots are in really great shape and I'll use them a lot, and I can't afford new ones, so it's an all around win for me! I also was able to pick up a book I wanted last time I was there, I was afraid it would be gone, but it wasn't. I am very happy with today's findings!! I don't know why thrift shopping makes me so happy, but it does. I've been thrift shopping since I was about 14......in fact that is where the majority of my shopping has been done since then. Every once in awhile I am super excited by what I find, today is one of those days!!
Going to go pick up Grandpa in a few hours, it's his mani-pedi day. We are going to watch the new Snow White and the Huntsman movie. I saw it in the theater, but haven't seen it since. I think it will be a very nice day for us. He hasn't been over in a few weeks, and it's just us two, so it should be nice. Especially nice to let him come over for a glass of wine, a nice dinner and we can chat about his favorite topic, WWII to celebrate this Vetertan's Day weekend.
Last time I weighed I was only 2 pounds from my 10 pound loss mark........hope I get there soon. It's nice that I'm not giving up. I've seemed to embark on a new path of self acceptance. I know that at the pace I'm going, I won't be breaking any weight loss records, but I don't intend to give up, ever, so I figure everything will move in the right direction in good time. I've done the y0-yo thing so many times, so now, I'm trying the tortoise approach...............he did win the race you know!!!
Hope your week is smashingly lovely in all ways.
I feel like I lost a week somehow, but here I am, back on track, for the most part! I rode with my husband to LA this weekend...........great way to comepletly loose track of time!! I wasn't able to get any fit mins, or eat very well due to bad pre-planning........and I gained a couple of pounds. I think a lot of it is water weight, and plan on losing it quickly, still a glitch in my weight loss routine. It's OK though. I woke up early today and got a nice walk in. I plan some heavy duty cleaning tonight, and maybe a little dancing!! I also hope to get some ST in, it's been over a week since I've done any, and I'm missing it.
I fell out of my husband's truck at the the first stop of our trip south. YIKES! That was not pretty!! I actually got really, really lucky. I could have broke something, but I didn't, praise God!!! So good, I'm just a little sore, a few bruises, nothing major.
So stinkin happy the election is over!! That couldn't have come any faster for me! I am also happy with the results, so all is good here. Tim is also really liking his new job. He gets home multiple nights this week, this week he'll be home three nights in a row!! So cool. I can barely beleive how good everything is going! It's hard to accept the good times after so many hard ones..........but I just stay in prayer, and remain as happy as I can no matter what happens.
Well, I don't have internet at the house for right now, so I can only use the computer at work. That is OK for me, I was starting to miss you guys though!! Just a few days off of here and I'm excited to come back and see all the great work you all are doing! Have a great week, stay positive and I hope you all have your sparks lighted and shining!!
Wow, I didn't realize this holiday would stir up so many feelings. But a day to honor the dead, and a day where "souls from the other worlds can come here"(read on wikipedia) should entice some emotions. It is odd being a mixed blood American, I have roots in many places, and my family has been here so long that I've lost most of those roots. I don't know exactly why I do some of the things I do, traditionally speaking. I don't know if it is from my Irish, German, Belgium, or Cherokee grandparents that I get my sense of tradition. It is these people that I want to honor today. After reading the wikipedia info about Halloween, with special attention paid to Samhain, I get a slightly better idea of what today's holiday means to people around the world, and throughout history. But what does it mean to me? When I was a child I LOVED the Dia de los Muertos decorations. Little doll houses with skeleltons. Faces painted as lovely skeletons...........really skeleton anything had me mesmerized. We would go to Olvera Street in LA occasionally and walk in the little stores to soak up all the traditional artistry surrounding the celebration. Even though I was raised with Mexican uncles, and their families, my immediate family did not celebrate this holiday. For us Halloween was always just that, Halloween and nothing more. A time for candy, candy and more candy, sprinkled with a little pumpkin dust and some funny face paint. But I have been craving from deep inside to do more during this holiday. To honor the season change, and honor the past. I plan to spend some time tonight with old pictures, some candles, saying blessings and remembering those that came before me, helping me to be who I am now.
I client just came in, looked at my angel costume and said he thought I was pushing it a little too far!! Haaa! He seemed to think devil horns might be a little more appropriate for today!!Hahahaha.........well, it's my costume and for today, I can be an angel. Tomorrow I'll put the horns back on!!
I want to give a special blessing of strength, hope and love for those on the east coast who have braved the hurricane. It is hard to think of celebrating at a time when others are exerpiencing so much heartache.
I hope today is filled with all of the elements that make a meaningful holiday for all of you. It is a time to delve into our storehouse of memories and connect with our heritage, families, communities, and the earth and all her mysterious bounties. Happy fall festivities for us all.
Well, this Halloween season is not so full of the usual haunts this year for me. My nieces are in Tucson, so I am not taking them out, as I did last year. My step-son's are not here, so no spookiness with them. Hubs is on the road, and now that we are back in the apartment, I don't think I will see any trick or treaters. But that is fine with me. I do love the season, and if things were a bit different this year, I'm sure I'd love to have a nice party to dress up and go to........but since that is not the case, I'm admiring from afar all the ghoulish gatherings going on with sparkfriends, and other friends and family around. I am really just enjoying the season change, and all that it brings.
I woke up to another pound loss. I am kind of flabergasted by this, but am not wanting to jinx it. I am not really doing all that I should be doing in oder to insure timely weight loss...........but what I am doing is staying busy. I haven't been spending my weekends in bed, I've been up and around. I went on a three mile walk this morning around the Davis Arboretum, it was gorgeous out there. I took lot's of neat pics, with my phone.........and can't quite figure out how to transfer them to the computer yet........I'm slightly tech challenged at times! I know, I know, you are all terribly sad that you can't see my artistic endeavors achieved by today's walk.......I'm sure there will be many more to come in the future!! I do love taking pictures, it soothes my soul.
I planned on getting into contact with my father today, after three years of no communication. But, he is not where he once was, and it is going to take a bit of detective work to track him down. I have been missing him tearribly and would love to hear his voice. Not sure if that is a possibility or not, but I will try, that is all I can do.
I have a whole chicken roasting in the oven, and it smells oh, so wonderful. I still have not been able to do any major grocery shopping, so it's been a few weeks or cleaning out the cupboards, which is fine by me. I don't like having stuff sitting around for years that I never use. My mother made a butternut squash soup that was super incredible last weekend. Simple, savory and a bit sweet from the squash, light hint of nutmeg..........super yummy and really simple. I LOVE butternut squash. I eat it year round, when I can get it........but it is truly delightful this time of year. Still planning to substitute the butternut, for the usual pumpkin in this years Thanksgiving pie. Can't wait to make that.....I've been on countdown for over a month now. I really LOVE Thanksgiving.......still a month away and I'm daydreaming over here! It's not just the food I love, I swear! It's family, fires, games, laughs, a little too much wine, hugs, toasts, and most importantly, remembering our loved ones that are gone and being thankful for all that we have. Such a brilliant holiday, I love it.
I am planning a small activity in honor of All Hallow's Eve and All Saint's Day. I have been trying the last few years to take the time to honor the dead, both famiy, and friends, and also those I've never met who have sacraficed so that we might have a better future.
Well, since I've lost 4 pounds in just over a week and a half, I guess at this rate I'll be at my goal in no time!! Haaaa! I know this is not realistic. I am super thankful for the weight loss. Looking forward to 10 pounds gone in two months. I know this is not record breaking speed, but that is fine with me. At this rate, that is 60 pounds in a year, and I am more than happy with that. I am really focused on losing and maintaining the loss. I've yo-yoed my whole life, I know how to do that very well. What I don't know how to do is maintain. I hope that is what I'm learning by taking baby steps and not giving up!
I bought a couple of art supplies this weekend at that 99 cent store and was drawing and painting last night. It was kind of fun. I am not super impressed with the outcome, but I think if I keep it up, I might be able to baby step my way into creating something worth hanging on the wall one day! I was not blessed with the ability to draw, but I feel it is a muscle that if I exercise, might strengthen. I am artistic in other ways, so maybe I can cross train my other abilities into leading to drawing abilities!! Artistic strength and fitness, that is what I'm really going for!!
Picked up a few books out of a free bin today. One is a culture crossed lovers tale set in India that looks engaging. The other is a modern Alice in Wonderlandesque tale of a young girls jaunts into the other worlds of her imagination. Also found The Red Tent, a recent near and dear book that I've been wanting to own for awhile. I love it when I have good books around me, helps to ease the solitary duldrums of missing the wild one.
Hope the season changes are bringing you closer and closer to the brink of discovering hidden gems that have been lying within you, waiting to be polished and admired. Tis the season to look within, dream and remember just how divine we are.
Happiness in all, holidays and all days.
I was just sitting here, reading a few comments from sparkfriends, browsing pages here and there and realized that I love this community so much that I sometimes forget that I am using this site for more than just giving/sharing the love!! Haaa! It truly is wonderful to be getting to know some of you. I appreciate your support, and insight so much. I adore reading your blogs and getting glimpses into your lives. What a great bunch of people we all are! I hope your weeks are going well. I've not been as diligent on fit mins and food tracking as I'd like to be.........but I lost two pounds this week, so I'm not going to kick myself too hard. I think the weather change and light diminishing are still effecting me a little. I've been a little extra groggy in the mornings. Nothing I can't shake off with some early morning stretching, green tea and a brisk walk (on my good days!) Yay, hubs is calling! Night all!

"This program shows how the art of portraiture has been refined and expanded through the ages. Examples of Egyptian sarcophagi portraits segue into discussions of paintings by Titian, Rafael, Dürer, and other masters -- including Rembrandt, who produced more self-portraits than any other artist. Examinig modern and pop approaches, the program illustrates ways in which Cézanne, van Gogh, Picasso and Warhol captured the features and emotions of the human countenance." From Container

So yesterday was a recovery day of sorts for me…today is back to work! As some of you know I spent all of last week in Tennessee! I went as part of Brandcation and stayed extra days before and after to visit with friends.
We stayed in a beautiful cabin in the Smokey Mountains….over 30 women in one cabin. Are we nuts? Maybe a little! I have a lot to tell you about, but right now I want to just share a few photos with you from the trip. Be sure to keep watching though for all the information and photos from the trip.
First of all, this was our gorgeous view from one of our balconies!
The change in elevation seemed to have a strange effect on some of us…Be sure to link your Wordless Wednesday below!

The ensuite bathroom smelt damp and the floor needed a good scrub. on arrival there was hardly any toilet paper in the bathroom and the toilet blocked on first use. there was a kettle and cups in the room but we were not told that we had to go to reception for the coffee, tea bags, sugar and milk. There only appeared to be one person working over the two days of our stay. The grounds were pleasant but needed the grass cutting and trees and bushes pruning. the inside of the building is dark and depressing.

Registration is open now.
ProCigar consists of seven companies in the Dominican Republic that make cigars, and all of the member companies take part in the festival. There is General Cigar Dominicana, the factory that produces such cigars as Macanudo, La Gloria Cubana and Partagas; Tabacalera de Garcia Ltd., the makers of Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta and H.

Is Terracota ehcache scaling across various nodes open source or is it a commercial product? Apparently, it did not require a commercial licence earlier but it does now.
From http://ehcache.org/ - "For applications requiring a coherent distributed cache as well as in-memory performance, use Terracotta BigMemory Max which is available in both extended trial and full versions. (Terracotta no longer actively updates the open-source version of Terracotta Server Array, also known as Terracotta.)"
Can someone throw some light on it? I find confusing information on the web.

Hesser College changes name, announces online programs
The for-profit college, which held its 112th commencement ceremony in May, officially becomes Mount Washington College on July 1.
At a press conference announcing the name change today, representatives of the Kaplan Higher Education Group, which acquired the college in 2000, will also unveil plans for online-only associate and bachelor degree programs in business administration.
Traditional degree programs will continue at the college's main campus in Manchester and satellite locations in Salem, Concord, Portsmouth and Nashua. Enrollment for the national online program opens July 15, with classes starting in September.
"Time and money are two hurdles that keep many career-minded people from pursuing higher education," he said. "The barriers are particularly high for adult learners who are working full-time, raising a family and balancing schedules while pursing a degree."
"Admission will require meeting selective entrance standards," Temte said. "This model is not for everyone, and is likely to appeal more to highly motivated, self-directed individuals, including students who have earned prior college credits."
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, the average cost for a bachelor's degree, including room and board, is $54,400 at public institutions; $94,000 at private for-profit institutions; and $145,000 at private, nonprofit institutions.
Name change tested
Changing the name of an institution that's been around for more than 100 years was not done without some market analysis, said Temte.
"We feel we have very strong individuals who are providing high-quality education for our existing students on the ground and in the hybrid or blended online programs already in place, and we want to leverage that experience," he said. "More importantly, from a cultural perspective, it's important that we act as one Mount Washington College and not have a distinct online division versus an on-ground division."

I'm looking forward to seeing that!

Good luck with it David. A few 'easy to maintain' shrubs planted in there as well would give it some character and stop it being a bit sterile. Something to welcome you home each day
You've got it sussed Andy!
Fingers and toes crossed for next week Andy. I'd hate not being able to drive for any length of time.
Re being King - does that mean you don't carry any money with you either then...
Some of them here are carniverous Dove...honest....
I found it incredible that they eat Holly - but I watched them doing it!
I've remembered Potentilla, Alchemilla and Loosestrife are others they seem to leave alone Zoomer. If you shield shrubs with chicken wire till they're a bit stronger and can fend off the nibbling, that seems to work quite well.
I'd agree Dove. If you were just starting out I think it would be very helpful. When I moved to my first house, about to have a baby, I had only a small amount of experience and a fair sized blank canvas of a garden. I was looking forward to getting stuck in and making changes on a very small - actually non existent - budget, but I reckon lots of people could have found that daunting and would have relished a bit of guidance about where to start.
Dove - do you think Garden Illus. thought we wouldn't notice if they were selling us garden related items...shot themselves in the foot doing it three times then .. they're what's known here as 'bampots'
Andy - are you only going shopping with Mrs Andy so that you can go and snaffle a few little plants or bulbs....
Welcome Andy - if you want any plants identified, take a few pix and post them and lots of people here will help. I'm guessing the red flowering shrub in the shade could be a Rhododendron or Camellia too!
If you're keen to put apple trees in those pots - go for it - I did the same last year as I had nowhere to plant them in this present garden. It sounds like the garden is quite shady and you may struggle with getting grass to look decent unfortunately, especially if children are playing on it, but you can get seed which grows better in shade so it may be worth looking at sowing some of that in future. Take a look at what other people have in their gardens as that's a good indicator of the soil and what will be happy in it. Raised beds can make it easier to grow things which may not be happy elsewhere, so planting in that might be quite different from other parts of the garden. If the lavender's thriving in it - the soil is possibly quite different from the part where the rhodo/camellia is.
And keep asking questions - it's how we all learnt!

November 27, 2014
HARROGATE, TN -- The Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball team continued their dominant start to the 2011-2012 season with a 104-47 victory over the Rams of Ohio Mid-Western College. With the win, the Railsplitters move
to 9-0 on the season.
Cam Carden led the Railsplitters with 20 points on 4-5 shooting from beyond the arc. Vincent Bailey added 14 points off the bench. Justin Allen and Wally Jones put in 13 and 10 points respectively. Tony Martin led LMU with nine boards on the night.
The Rams were led by Gene Primus' ten points as he was the lone double digit scorer on the evening for Ohio Mid-Western.
The Railsplitters shot out of the gate in the first half as they ran up a 21-2 lead with 15:24 remaining in the half. LMU never looked back in the lopsided first half of play. The Railsplitters continued to run up the score as they took a 61-11 lead into the break. The Railsplitters shot a dominating 69.7 percent while holding the Rams to 17.9 percent from the field in the half.
The second fell in much the same way as the Railsplitters expanded their lead to 57 which would fall as the final deficit. LMU captured the game by a score of 104-47.
The Railsplitters will take the floor again on Saturday, December 10th, as Glenville State travels to Harrogate, Tennessee for nonconference action.

ATLANTA - DECEMBER 06: Michael Vick #7 of the Philadelphia Eagles rushes upfield against the Atlanta Falcons at Georgia Dome on December 6, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
It's one year into the new Michael Vick era in Philly after trading away Kevin Kolb and all indications point to the eagles making the right call.So, the question before us is do the Philadelphia Eagles need to consider selecting a quarterback in the early rounds of the April 2012 NFL Draft?Absolutely. By no means is quarterback the only need in Philly. They need help at linebacker and safety. And if they do indeed get rid of DeSean Jackson, they also are going to need to find another wide receiver.Most likely picking in the middle of the draft this year Philly may have a chance to pick up a QB like Landry Jones and give him a year or so to watch and learn the NFL game the way Carson Palmer and Philip Rivers did.But the Eagles need to think now about life after Michael Vick. And they need to think about when life after Vick will begin. He's going to be 32 next June. They're really only financially committed to him for one more season. For all intents and purposes, he really sig...

Web Letter
One of the major factors in Pakistan has been left completely out of this article. The people of the mountains are Pashtun, and speak a quite different language, in a rather different culture from that of the Punjabis on the plains. The latter are viewed as a foreign occupier in their region, with the army being mostly Punjabi.
Since Pashtun are the dominant plurality in Afghanistan, a sparking of Pashtun nationalism would likely bring a return of the area into Afghanistan, and shatter Pakistan into several national ethnic states, which might also spread into destabilizing India. Meanwhile, half the Punjabis are in India, and the Baluchis spread into both Afghanistan and Iran.For comparison, look at the fifty-one-year bloody struggle in Sri Lanka, which is much smaller.
The current situation is left over from the expansion of the British Indian Empire into a set of boundaries with geographic stability and long-term ethnic instability.

Land of the Midnight Sun
On June 21, summer solstice, the sun never sets in some parts of Yukon. All over the Territory you can read a book, paddle a canoe, or fish outdoors all night. The midnight sun makes for long summer days, and wondrous carmine and magenta skyscapes that last for hours, rather than minutes. Yukoners fill up their batteries, take in a little extra vitamin D and take advantage of this light to enjoy their favourite outdoor activities. It truly makes up for the longer, dark, days of winter.

Integra is making its newest receiver pair ready for the future—at least the immediate future.
Integra just debuted a pair of new home theater receivers, which will include both the HDMI 2.0 spec and support for HDCP 2.2. The DTR-30.6 and the DTR-40.6 should be available for purchase any day now.
Having HDMI 2.0 support in each receiver means that both will be compatible with 4K/60Hz video. Each one has a Marvel QDEO processor for upscaling, as well as 4K pass-through features. Both of the seven-channel receivers will also have support for the HDCP 2.2 copy protection standard, making it a good choice for multi-room audio and/or a whole-house home automation system.
The DTR-30.6 promises 95 watts per channel, with the DTR-40.6 bumping that number up to 110. The DTR-30.6 has seven HDMI inputs, two HDMI outputs, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The DTR-40.6 adds in HDBaseT connectivity for uncompressed full HD multimedia content (including 3D and 2K/4K Ultra HD) via long-reach wired connectivity (CAT5e/6) up to 328 feet. The 40.6 model also has THX Select2 Plus certification.
Both models come packing direct access to web-based services, including Spotify, Pandora, SiriusXM Internet Radio and Tune In. Other common features include three-stage inverted Darlington circuitry and Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT), ISF calibration capability, AccuEQ room calibration, Mobile High-definition Link (MHL) on the front-panel HDMI port, and InstaPrevue. Each one can also accommodate your inner-audiophile, with a phono input and support for high-res audio files such as WMA Lossless, FLAC, DSD, Double DSD, ALAC, Dolby True HD 24/96 and 24/192 formats from HD music download services, USB or via local area network (LAN).
As mentioned above, both receivers have the power needed for use in more than one room. Each one has Powered Zone 2 and Zone 2 pre-outs, a bi-directional RS-232 port and an Ethernet jack. The DTR-40.6 also has a Zone 3 pre-out, two IR inputs and one output, and three 12-volt triggers.
According to the Integra website, both the DTR-30.6 and the DTR-40.6 will be shipping soon. The company has priced these new models at $1,000 and $1,300, respectively.

Collards in place of spinach?
- daislander Mar 12, 2014 07:29 PM
After reading a recent 'minestrone' thread I feel the urge to make soup tonight. At my local shop they have collards in. I am on the west coast of canada and have only seen collards in the store a few times but a lot more in the last 2 yrs. I have never eaten them or cooked with them. I like to put a spinach or chard in my soup can I use collards? I think you have to cook them a lot longer? so maybe stew them for 30mins in broth before adding first veggies so will cook about a hour total? Or will the flavour be overpowering or unsuitable? Just eat them plain as Ive seen on tv shows?
re: ipsedixit
My opinion is biased by the fact that I grew up in Atlanta :) I find collards quite mild. But nothing like spinach. And, yes, they need quite a bit more cooking than spinach.
re: magiesmom
Oh, goodness, so do I.
re: daislander
it's hard to describe. It's definitely a more muted taste than broccoli rabe or dandelions....not as bitter. Earthier than spinach, so more like chard....but a really nice earthiness, kind of fullness, than spinach. As others have suggested, cut out the tough stem, shred very finely, cook a long time. It turns very tender and is full of calcium and other good things. Sorry, hard to describe...would love to hear what you think after you try!
i also have found collards can give off more liquid when cooking almost like cabage so you may want to reduce some of your other liquids
re: westsidegal
Growing up in the South, I became accustomed to olive drab collards. In the mid70s I saw the light :) I now chiffonade them and cook like kale - not terribly long.
re: c oliver
depending on the dish, i will cook collard greens both ways.
in minestrone, i don't cook them very long and they don't take on that drab olive look,
when i cook the Ethiopian version of stewed collard greens though, i will cook them longer and they, therefore,end up looking a little more like southern collard greens.
I do not find the two to be compatible for this nor many other dishes. They are very different in flavor and texture.
As a possible suggestion if your market has escarole I would recommend that before collard greens.

A shock absorber that is functioning properly ensures vehicle stability, handling, and rideability. Most motorists fail to notice gradual changes in the operation of their cars as a result of worn shock absorbers. Some common indications of shock absorber failure follow:
Vibrations set up by a worn shock absorber can cause premature wear in many of the undercar systems. They can cause wear in the front and rear component parts of the suspension system, the linkage component parts of the steering system, and the U-joints and motor or transmission mounts of the driveline. Also, vibrations can cause unnatural wear patterns on the tires.

Aug 13, 2013This is as awkward as it gets. I love watching Rose Byrne, but this storyline was just too cheesy. The acting was less impressive than expected. It wasn't very funny, sad, or anything, really. The way I see it, it's just a silly movie to watch on a lazy Sunday morning and to forget about by dinner time.
Nov 9, 2013Ghastly. If this is the 'comedy of embarrassment', the only people embarrassed must have been the players. Only Simon Baker emerges with any credit. Lame plot, lame jokes, poor characterisation, desperately contrived scenes.
I'm not even sure why I've scored it as high as 4 out of 10!
Sep 2, 2014I Give It a Year is trite and awkwardly bland. Sure, likable actors and characters are present--but they aren't given much to do. Oh, yeah, and where's the emotion?
Aug 17, 2013This unrelentingly cynical film reflects a sociopathic sensibility. Mazur, the writer, appears to view people as objects and to lack any sense of empathy. There are some positives, notably the cast. I love Rose Byrne no matter what she's in. But overall, let's just say people I watched this movie with audibly revolted at the ending, so contrary was it to their idea of what was credible. The audience wasn't having it and neither was I.… Expand
Nov 17, 2013My girlfriend and I suffered through this film, regularly considering turning it off. We persevered, thinking the average writing and awkward directing and acting might yield an upturn or surprise, but it really didn't.
My favorite elements were the off kilter marriage counsellor (played by Olivia Colman).
Stephen Merchant is funny as a person in most things I see him in, but in this it just didn't work. If the entire film around Stephen Merchant was built around the same style of inappropriateness, it would have been funnier, really. But considering a more earnest tone throughout, his scenes just put me on edge.
There was no chemistry between any of the sets of couple, and the script just didn't have any sense of essentialness. It felt like a movie that didn't need to be made, for any reason.
I came to Metacritic afterwards, expecting the score to be even lower than the current 50, and decided to sign up, to make sure that those thinking this might be worth watching as a no-brainer romantic comedy had a better chance of dodging this bullet. Seriously, watch something else instead.… Expand
Sep 5, 2013A smart farce that would make Hugh Grant and his fans proud.
Aug 15, 2013In addition to some trite set pieces, writer-director Dan Mazer serves up nothing more than conspicuous cynicism masquerading as comedy.
Though Mazer's ambition is laudable, he has not yet integrated the comedy of manners into the comedy of no manners.

Canticles from St Paul's
Studio Master: CDA68058 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Walton's dramatic Te Deum was written for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. He had in fact been working on a Te Deum setting for the First Night of the Proms in 1944 but had become side-tracked by the incidental music for Henry V. Walton seemed pleased with his work:
I've got cracking on the Te Deum. You will like it, I think, and I hope he will too. Lots of counter-tenors and little boys Holy-holying, not to mention all the Queen's Trumpeters and sidedrum (Letter William Walton to Christopher Hassall, 28 November 1952).
It is a magnificent work which not only captures the pomp and power of the ceremony but also has a film-like, rather cosmic quality. Full of antiphonal effects and punctuated by brass writing, it makes use of some ideas from sonata form with both a first and second subject ('We praise thee, O God' and 'To thee Cherubin and Seraphin') and a recapitulation.

The Eleven-Thousand Dollar Beard
Byon December 2, 2013
David Ortiz is valuable. Not just as this years undisputed World Series MVP or because hes one of the best home run hitters currently playing the game of baseball. David Ortiz is a treasure because when he shaves, cold, hard, cash falls from his face.
More precisely: $10,877.77. Which is exactly what the star Boston Red Sox players World Series beard sold for on eBay to an anonymous bidder this weekend. Lets put that into perspective.
Most beards have between 7,000 and 15,000 follicles, and based on our completely unscientific observation of the density of Ortizs beard, well say that makes his of his individual whiskers worth about a dollar each. And if you could gather just 2,056 of those little suckers, you mightve been able to pay for a seat at the decisive game 6 of the World Series, because that number was the average price of a ticket.
It also makes Ortizs facial hair more valuable than the head hair of President John F. Kennedysome of which sold for only $1,800 last monthor that of Mick Jagger, which went for a mere $6,000 over the summer. He even beat out Mickey Mantles locks, which sold for $6,900 back in 1997; yet another reason to tick off Yankees fans.
But dont think the man a narcissist of Kanye proportions, its actually a pretty beard-warming story. It's all part of a promotion sponsored by Gillette, who is in turn donating every last cent of Ortizs beard bounty to the Movember-approved charity to benefit mens health issues. Which reminds us, Movember's over so it's also time to cash in on your facial fuzz, too.

She's already reached model status, anyway; does she really need to "beautify" herself up even more? As tsurara has stated, it's possible that she merely wants attention... Or perhaps she's ascribed too many positive things to the Japanese; she's a Japanophile, maybe.

|Terrell Owens' day in training camp
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 06 August 2007 12:57
JUST SORE: Owens missed practice for the second straight day. An MRI on Owens' stiff back showed no problems, and confirmed what team officials had said: that he is only having spasms. Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said ``there's no alarm'' and said the receiver is day to day.
OUT ROUTE: Owens has missed six of the team's 19 workouts in training camp, the last three plus three more during a coach-ordered hiatus last week to rest his sore legs and hamstring. His attendance rate is still much better than last year, when he missed about half of camp and the first three preseason games because of a hamstring problem.
WILL HE PLAY? While Owens hasn't practiced since Saturday, and the Cowboys have only one full workout left before playing their preseason opener, Phillips hasn't ruled out the possibility of No. 81 playing. ``No, he wants to play,'' Phillips said.

Kim Kardashian on Haiti Trip: NOT About Me!by Free Britney at . Comments
Kim Kardashian is denying a series of celebrity gossip reports that she attended a fashion show and spent a fortune on herself during her recent visit to Haiti.
The star took to her blog to shoot down "malicious" rumors about her trip to the Caribbean country, which was hit by a earthquake in 2010, with her mom.
She and Kris Jenner traveled there for positive PR to learn more about the charity We Advance, not for a fashion show, which has been rumored this week.
"Our mission was to learn more about [Maria Bello's] charity, We Advance," she says, "and meet the Haitian people who have made such amazing progress since the devastating earthquake in 2010, and celebrate the women of Haiti."
Kim says they "inspired me more than I ever could have anticipated."
When Kardashian returned, she says she saw "malicious" reports that say she "spent a fortune" on herself in Haiti ... and was, like, so offended, because how could ANYONE possibly think Kim would put herself first in any situation?"While my experience was completely life-changing ... a very emotional and surprisingly positive journey I will never forget, some have tried to tarnish the motive behind my visit by writing completely ridiculous and untrue things," Kim Kardashian laments.
The fortune she supposedly spent? She says this: "The truth is that I was at the Haitian Artisan Fair, where the amazing men and women who make their jewelry and crafts sell them to visitors to make a living, and I bought some beautiful jewelry!"
In the end, she said, she had a positive experience trying to give back.
"I have some really great stories and photos from my trip and I'm so excited to share them with you all," she wrote ... and we're sure she will share them, early and often, in between plugs for various products. Just kidding. Probably.
Anything she does now will always look like a publicity stunt. Truth is her plan to get married and make money back fired. Now with that other scandal that some of her products are made by slave labour and child labour she's done. Good bye.
The worst part about the Trip- The Bitch came back Home!
Who will believe her now. If there is no such tendency, why didn't she do it before all the drama re. her fail marriage? Only time can tell her whether she is genuine. Hasn't been she faking everything in her live for so long?
I saw that pic of Kim and her mother standing next to Patricia Arquette and u can definitely tell that K & K had not broken a sweat. They had designer sunglasses on, hats, nice clothes, a face full of makeup-... yet Patricia had on her WeAdvance tee and no make-up on, looking like she was ready for some hard work. Nice try Kim, but a lot of us still think ur a POS.
WOW a charity where every one is well dressed and look healthy...Kim visiting the rich and corrupt in Haiti is not charity honey! GO and see people in need without a home and sleeping on the streets and children not eating that is where you need to be and not with all that make up and designer clothes honey...you need to take example from celebrities like Angelina she goes where the poor are! this was just another stunt from you and it did not look good anyway
Selfish, habitual lying, pathetic, piece of shit.
I read the article in the National Enquirer. It showed her at the fashion show and nowhere near the very poor areas. This girl should forgetabout going there to redeem herself. She came off bad. Maybe she should look at her little sister to redeem herself.
Seriously guys a fashion show in Haiti. That country is really suffering do you'll really think they have time have a fashion show. You know it doesn't cost you anything to have common sense!!!!!

* AwesomeMusic: Dive Bar, JEO Main Stage, and New Angle Dojo. And especially Downworld. It's a shame the music is pretty quiet during matches.
* DudeNotFunny: The characters of Mr. N and Alex Jefailey are incredibly mean-spirited and spiteful. Jefailey may be worse, given that Alex Jebailey effectively paid money to be insulted (at least [[ActuallyPrettyFunny he got a kick out of it]]).
* HypeBacklash: DiveKick had a ton of hype before it's release. It was featured on fighting game tournament streams, was at any big gaming convention, and was even getting some press attention. After Divekick's release, the game's hype fell down at an almost 90 degree angle. Tournaments were not getting any entrants and streams became few and far in between. It didn't help that [[UnderNightInBirth newer]] [[BlazblueChronophantasma fighting]] [[KillerInstinct games]](DiveKick developers Iron Galaxy now work on KI) were being released and picked up the hype that Divekick had lost. There is a community still, but you are not going to see Divekick on the main stage a major fighting game tournament anytime soon. That most of its humor is based on mocking the FGC doesn't help; people tend not to play games that make fun of them.
* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: The fighting game community loves Divekick, largely for the down-to-the-essentials feel of it.
* PeripheryDemographic: It was designed as a parody of competitive fighting games. That said, it's also popular among competitive fighting game players due to being what a fighting game is meant to be (TabletopGame/{{chess}} with reflexes) without the need to learn enormous combos to even be decent.
* [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong Suspiciously Similar Stage]]: Adding further to shout-out parallels between Kick and ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'' is an entire stage filled with them. It's a basketball court, and the music that plays is [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong an almost-but-not-quite a version of the show's famed intro song.]]
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: As of late, there has been a growing Hatedom for the game, saying that it has become a joke that now takes itself too seriously. People have also said that this game would have been better if it were just Dive and Kick.
** One of the loading screen tips lampshades this fact.
-->''"I liked this game better when Dive and Kick were the only two characters."''
** The drastic changes made to The Baz and S-Kill in ''Addition Edition'' were...controversial to say the least.
