Best pen I've turned yet

Comments about
Premium Cigar Ballpoint Pen Kit - Bright Copper
I'm not sure what the other reviewer ran into, but this pen works perfectly and every part fit wonderfully. It has some weight to it, which makes it look and feel like a quality writing instrument. I recommend reading the PDF instruction on putting it together, because it does have different parts than the typical Euro-style or thin pens and you have to pay attention to which part goes into which end. I used purple heart (which in this case turned a beautiful deep purple-brown) and a 25/32 bit for boring the hole, which took a little extra inside sanding to get a good fit. Search on 77C21.pdf to find the assembly instructions.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Bad fit
The top section did not make a flush fit to the bottom section. A gap at least 1/4 inch was showing. No amount of force closed the gap. Cannot use the pen. Beware.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Coming to SF mid Oct
My wife and I are coming to SF Oct 16-21, and will be staying on Van Ness near Fisherman's Wharf. We will be without a car so looking for cheaper eats around that area. Burritos, Seafood, sushi, local places we need to go to???
Nothing around that area is going to be super cheap, but you can take a bus adventure to other areas - or a cable car if you don't mind paying the fare. It's hard to find cheaper foods around the more popular sights in San Francisco. If you don't mind wandering, try the Mission for burritos or, if you are truly adventurous, the Tenderloin area for excellent Indian food. Be aware, though, this is kind of a dicey part of town, so don't go if you're nervous and stay away at night.
Hayes Valley is down Van Ness about a mile and has a bunch of nice little restaurants and great boutique shops. There are busses that run straight down Van Ness. You can get off at City Hall and check that out, too. It's beautiful inside. In Hayes Valley, if you're in the mood to pretend that you're in Chicago, Moishe's is great for huge deli sandwiches and Patxi is perfect for deep dish pizza. If not, Flipper's is excellent for extensive burger options and has an outside patio. Frjtz has inexpesive crepes and excellent Belgian french Fries with a patio, as well. There's a new place called Cafe Grillade that is good, albeit kind of chain-y feeling. Arlequin Cafe has excellent sandwiches and a super secret huge back patio. They also have a wine shop. The owners are very nice and helpful and the wine prices are surprisingly reasonable. All of these places are on Hayes Street between Franklin and Laguna - about 3 blocks. Very convenient if you want choices for food and fun shopping. Your wife will die for the shoes on this street. They're too expensive for me, but great for window shopping. Try Haseena on Hayes between Laguna Octavia and Laguna for affordable, cute clothes.
As far as food, the north end of Van Ness is a mostly good neighborhood to get out of. Not a great place for a food-lover to stay.
What they said. The only good thing I can think of in that area is In N Out, which is not unique to San Francisco, and anyway is in the heart of the tourist madness. On the other hand, if you've never had an In N Out burger, you should definitely give that a try -- it's FAR superior to McDo and BK.
re: dunstable
In-N-Out is a Los Angeles-based chain. It's the kind of hamburger you might make at home if you bought your ingredients at a supermarket and didn't have a charcoal grill.
re: Robert Lauriston
and for around two bucks, too!
re: Jakubo
Anyone been to YaYa lately? Early reports were all over the place.
re: Jakubo
I think this is the reincarnation of the old YaYa around 9th Avenue. I had the best braised lamb shank there I've ever had in a restaurant. I remember that the posts for the new place were as Melanie says.
Sad to say, I agree with the poster who said its a neighborhood to get out of food-wise (and in other respects as well). Try to get out into the Mission, lower Haight, Inner Richmond... lots of suggestions for those neighborhoods on here.
Oh come on now, you folks need to come out to this neck of the woods sometime. True, Fisherman's Wharf is a culinary wasteland, but Van Ness is very near to both Polk St. and Chestnut St. If one doesn't want to schlep out to the Mission, there is a good burrito place on Chestnut near Filmore (can't think of the name, sorry) - on Steiner between Chestnut and Lombard there about a zillion places including Isa (one of my very faves, though not cheap) and Asqew (which I've not tried but have been told it is good). I wouldn't recommend Izzy's though, had a horrid meal there. A16 is a short hop down Chestnut. I don't frequent Polk, but very much enjoyed Yabbie's Coastal Kitchen which is out here on the north end. If I were staying in this area and wanted to walk rather than deal with Muni, I'd give all of these serious consideration - and would go to Isa for sure!
re: dinnerout
Exactly. Do I need to put smiley faces on everything? I agree. We are not talking outer Siberia. Please let us know where exactly you are staying.
Polk Street is one block away. There are great eats there. There are good reasonable eats in Fisherman's Wharf. You are not far from Chestnut or Union Streets. You are near North Beach. San Francisco is VERY cab-able, especially if you are staying, where I suspect, near Lombard.
I can't imagine that you will be tied to your hotel. Where will you be visiting and we can give you good recs near those areas. If nothing else, walk one block up to Polk, take a bus down that VERY chow-able street or ask about Polk Street recs in a separate poste.
re: rworange
A16 is as far away as North Beach.
Polk Street is a block away from Van Ness, but the north end of Polk is as dead as the north end of Van Ness.
re: Robert Lauriston
At the risk of getting deleted again, let's hear where they are staying. That hotel at Lombard is not that far away from EVERYTHING. That might not be where they are staying, but it is the closest to the Van Ness/Fisherman's Wharf reference.
What is wrong with North Beach or A16? For my money that is a short cab ride, probably under $5 and the bus system at that area is great. Also I can think of a number of great places near the hotel. Why focus on the negative? It is so suprising on what can turn up. Neither you nor I know all the possibilities. I'm always surprised by what Chowhounds turn up.
For all we know, they could be staying at one of the places on Lombard a block away from A16. You know hotel hype. I wouldn't exactly consider any place on Van Ness as in the Fisherman's Wharf area.
re: rworange
We are staying at The Heritage Marina Hotel between Filbert and Union on Van Ness.
also we plan to just do sightseeing ( Haight- Alcatraz, all the tourist stops, plus Muir Woods, perhaps a wine tour)
re: countgrog
That's a much livelier spot than the end of Van Ness.
Boulange de Polk is one of the best bakery-cafes in the city and a great value. Capannina is good and moderately priced Italian. Rose's Cafe is great for breakfast.
Antica Trattoria's one of the best Italian restaurants but pretty expensive. La Folie is the best French restaurant but ditto.
re: countgrog
Ok, that's not hopeless. The places Robert mentioned are good ones. Also nearby are Nick's Crispy tacos and Nick's Pizza Rustica, the latter being pricy depending on the size of your group, it's a $5 buck piece of pizza.
The food Street near you is one block up on Polk. If you travel on Polk away from Fisherman's Wharf there are all sorts of reasonably priced restaurants.
I haven't been there, but it gets a lot of love on this board, there's Swan's Oyster Depot. I mention this because if you must have clam chowder (NOT the San Francisco treat), this seems to be as decent a version of canned chowder you will get ... and yes most of the over-priced versions on the Wharf are canned.
Yeah, that business about walking to the Wharf from the hotel, stretches it a bit, Van Ness isn't attractive. However, if you do walk it, go all the way down Van Ness till you hit the water. Then you can walk along the beach to Fisherman's Wharf. I wouldn't particularily waste my food money there, but if you must, there's a place that sells Mitchell's Ice Cream that SF is known for. Get the tropical flavors like young coconut or ube. Nick's seems to get lots of positive mentions. Scoma's has a good three course lunch deal, but is horribly expensive otherwise. Here's more.
You MUST go the Ferry Building Farmers Market on Saturday. Think of it as free breakfast since there is so much sampling from the top quality vendors. Lot's of great inexpenisve vendors. My favorite is Hayes Street Grill.
That is easy from where you are. Take the bus on Van Ness to California (or do the longish walk, but walk up Polk which is more interesting). At California you can catch the cable car that will deposit you directly at the Ferry building ... it is also one of the best cable car rides too.
If you go to the Haight on Tuesday, Bambino's on Tuesday night has a $12 three course dinner with deals on wine.
I'd pretty much ignore the food advice that your hotel gives you based on the restaurants they recommend on the website (petite robert, excepted).
You might do a separate post about the hotel restaurant, Little Joe's to see if it is any good. The Joe's restaurants were old-time SF restaurants known for a scramble called the Joe's Special. I believe at one time Little Joe's was a restaurant in North Beach. It may have relocated here or maybe they are just using the name.
Van Ness and Lombard streets themselves are sort of food waste-lands. Polk, as mentioned is the best bet. Other nearby food Streets are Chestnut (but a bit away), Union (kinda pricy and not as good as Chestnut). If you take a bus through the Broadway tunnel, that will land you right in North Beach & Chinatown.
You might ask at the hotel which bus will get you to Fort Mason. That is a lovely trip along the marina green. At the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge going toward Fort Mason is the Warming Hut. Not outstanding coffee and sandwiches, but good and it is a spectacular location.
I assume you are taking a tour bus to get to Muir Woods since you don't have a car, so no food recs seem needed.
I also recommend picking up a copy of The Chowhound's Guide to the Bay Area. It has over 600 recs by cuisine and neighborhood, so you will always know the good places near you wherever you visit.
re: rworange
"You MUST go Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday. ... My favorite is Hayes Street Grill. "
That's Ferry Plaza.
The best time to go to Fisherman's Wharf is late in the evening after all the tourist traps have closed.
re: Robert Lauriston
I'd never read my posts until 30 minutes after I post since there are usually a ton of corrections ... oh for a preview link. Caught that, but thanks. If you go to Fisherman's Wharf at night it is most expensive with the little places closed and just the high-priced joints opened. Again, FW isn't somewhere I would eat as a destination, but if one must go, that link had a few of the better joints. I'd continue up to North Beach to eat if in the Wharf area.
re: Robert Lauriston
Good grief, the three lodgings on the north end of Van Ness (between Francisco and Filbert) are at most four blocks away from Antica Trattoria on Polk Street, and if staying at the motel at VN and Filbert, only two blocks. In the north-south direction, those are shorter blocks too. Go another block and a half and you're at Pesce. Then another block to Nick's Crispy Tacos, go across Broadway and you're at Little Thai. Lots more in between that I skipped over in this illustration.
re: Melanie Wong
You are also very close to Chestnut business section - you can easily walk or hop onto a 30-Stockton bus at Van Ness and Chestnut and get off at Filmore - there are about 6 blocks of shops and restaurants. I would definitely go to Isa on Steiner for dinner one evening. Nick's Crispy Tacos on Polk is also very good and very cheap.
re: dinnerout
Ooh, oooh, oooh. What about Greens? Oops, it's certainly not cheap. Maybe for breakfast (brunch?) on the weekend. Check their website. It's in a gorgeous location right on the water overlooking the marina with boats bobbing in the water and a view of the GGBridge.
re: oakjoan
We might try a lunch on a place that overlooks the water.
re: oakjoan
Recent reports on the food at Greens have been pretty harsh.


text: Actor Vivek Oberoi seems to be in a philosophical mood these days. Oberoi, who made a promising debut in Ramgopal Verma's Company, saw his career sliding down after a first few successful films. And now, though he is getting work, the big hit, that might bring him back into the league of A-listers remains elusive. Asked if he feels bad for his career having not shaped the way he would have liked, Oberoi says, "I am not worried where I stand in the industry, I am very happy today. I feel in life people forget to be appreciative and thankful. I want to be thankful to everyone for giving me a chance in their films. There are millions of people who are so talented but don't get a break in the industry." The actor who essayed memorable performances in films like Saathiya, Masti, Omkara and Shootout at Lokhandwala, has of late delivered a series of flops including films like Mission Istanbul, Prince, Kurbaan, Kismat Love Paisa Dilli, among others.

Jeffords service honors his humanityBy Kevin O'Connor
Staff Writer | August 23,2014Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
The folded flag that draped the coffin of former U.S. Sen. James M. Jeffords is presented to his children, Laura and Leonard Jeffords, during the funeral service Friday at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ in Rutland.As the children of former U.S. Sen. James Jeffords listened to speaker after speaker laud their father at his funeral Friday, they knew a few things were left unsaid.
"My dad enjoyed a lot of simple things in life," interjected his son, Leonard.
Take his tractor. His dogs. His favorite sandwich: peanut butter, lettuce and mayonnaise.
"I know," his daughter, Laura, responded to the collective groans and grimaces.
Jeffords' political career spanned four decades, including his election to the Vermont Senate in 1966, the attorney general's office in 1968, the state's lone congressional seat in 1974 and the U.S. Senate in 1988. But the man who climbed to the loftiest rungs of the political ladder was eulogized as, first and foremost, a down-to-earth father and friend.
"One of my earliest memories was when I was 5 and he was my hockey coach," Leonard Jeffords said. "He couldn't skate. But he always tried to be there for us."
U.S. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch joined a slate of Vermont dignitaries, former congressional staffers and several hundred locals for a 1½-hour service at Grace Congregational United Church of Christ in Rutland.
The sanctuary — where James Jeffords went to Sunday school as a child — was the same place that hosted past memorials for his wife, Liz, and his predecessor in the U.S. Senate, fellow Rutlander Robert Stafford.
Although many in the crowd attended all three, Friday's program was unique from the moment the choir sang its first note to the pluck of a banjo (on folk musician Pete Seeger's "To My Old Brown Earth.")
Jeffords' children skipped repeating their father's public résumé and instead offered private remembrances.
"My father hated green bean casserole," Laura said. "Because when he married my mom, that is all she knew how to cook. My father loved to chop wood, and he thought Leonard and I did, too. My father had two left feet. And so he danced with Liz, and it was magic."
Leonard recounted how their father took time to be a dad. The family played cards, Monopoly, Risk and, every April Fool's Day, practical jokes. Take the year they faked the theft of his tractor.
"Jim, I can't talk right now," Leonard recalled his mother saying on the phone, "the state police are here."
Former classmate George Hansen said he not only had known Jeffords since age 4 but also introduced him to Liz.
"From Jimmy to Jim to Gentleman Jim to Jeezum Jim," Hansen said, "we say, 'Well done, classmate, well done, best friend, well done, good and faithful servant.'"
Former Gov. James Douglas, seated with peers including predecessor Howard Dean, noted Jeffords helped adopt the state's ban on billboards and worked with the Legislature to draft the Act 250 land-use law and bottle-deposit rules.
"I often wonder what Vermont would look like today," Douglas said, "without the efforts of Jim Jeffords."
Douglas acknowledged that, as a Republican, he disagreed with Jeffords' historic 2001 departure from the party to become an independent, which tipped control of the 50-50 U.S. Senate to the Democrats.
"But I knew as a Vermonter," Douglas said, "his commitment to us was as strong as ever."
Jeffords' former aide Mark Powden said his boss didn't have separate public and private faces.
"Lord knows on more than one occasion we wished there were two Jim Jeffords," Powden said of the man whose mix of eagerness and anxiousness often hampered him from offering clear, concise quotes.
But Jeffords could speak volumes with a smile, added his children, who savored his rejoicing over 9-year-old grandson Patton and 7-year-old granddaughter Hazel.
"That's perhaps my fondest memory of my dad," Leonard said. "That's how I will remember my father."

While "all the official stuff is done," the openly gay figure skater, 27, said there will be a wedding in the summer. Congratulations to the newlyweds ...
Among those offering up their congratulations to the couple upon hearing the surprise news: Former The Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin.
While Weir has made news for butting heads - namely with Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek - he said that Voronov was "everything that I've ever looked for."
Weir wasn't the only one gushing about life, either.
"Ringing in the New Year with my new hubby," Voronov, a Georgetown law school graduate, according to his Twitter, wrote with a telling hashtag: "#ELATED."
Congratulations to the newlyweds! Johnny is a Gay Idol, and well known worldwide. Their marriage will be covered as often as Johnny's life has always been. I know that they will be as honest and forward about it as Johnny has always been about who he is! They will be role models for us all! Again, my congratulations to Johnny & Victor!!
Oh my, I can't wait to see what Johnny is gonna wear for his wedding.
@Allsaints45 Two people that love each other getting married. The abuse of it all!! Take your closedmind and pray you realize your a bigot.
Congrats to Johnny Weir & new hubby Victor! Every person deserves happiness & equal rights. to allsaints45- I hope that you don't truly believe that. Two adults in love who want & deserve to marry has absolutely nothing to do with the horrors of abuse. Comparing the two is so wrong & bigoted. I really hope that that's not what's in your heart.
FABULOUS!! I wish you guys all the best! I miss you on the ice Johnny, you were the best, you had a flair and style thats still unmatched! Im praying that Adam Rippon will one day carry on your legacy!
I'll be looking for your wedding invitation to the biggest and most fabulous wedding ever!! (Be sure to toss the bouquet to me guys!)

Good journalism is founded on balance and fairness. This means presenting several sides of a story or points of view to help readers gain a more comprehensive perspective on a topic. Without balance, news can be skewed to a particular point of view.
Reuters' journalist Carey Gillam has covered issues surrounding genetically modified foods for the past 16 years, no easy task with the growing GMO controversy and its polarized pro- and anti-GMO perspectives. But Gillam's reporting has been balanced and objective, giving both sides equal treatment. Civil Eats, an award-winning daily news source focusing on food issues, recently cited Gillam in an article, "24 Women Food and Agriculture Reporters You Should Know About."
In an April 9th Reuters article, "Bill seeks to block mandatory GMO food labeling by states," Gillam wrote: "Advocates of labeling say consumers deserve to know if the food they eat contains GMOs, or genetically modified organisms." A paragraph later she wrote: "Makers of biotech crops and many large food manufacturers have fought mandatory labeling, arguing that genetically modified crops are not materially different and pose no safety risk."
That is balanced journalism, presenting both sides to the story.
Attacks by GMO proponents
Unfortunately, GMO proponents object to Gillam's balanced reporting and have pressured her editors at Reuters to remove her from covering GMO topics and to even fire her.
In an attack on Gillam's April 9th article, Val Giddings, former executive vice president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO), accuses Gillam of fueling the "astroturf" anti-GMO campaign with her articles. Giddings then criticized Gillam for writing that "some scientific studies warn of potential human and animal health problems, and GMO crops have been tied to environmental problems, including rising weed resistance." Giddings wrote: "the claim is false and flagrantly so."
But the reality is that there have been studies published that show harm to human health and the environment. Even though GMO proponents consistently tear apart any studies that show harm, such studies have been published in peer reviewed journals.

Within the course of one hour 5 stories are shown. None of these stories have any logical explanation, and some of them actually occurred. You are left to decide which of these stories, if any are fact, and which are fiction Seed And Enjoy -SB3
sounds like the old 'believe it, or not' series. Would love to watch these shows... erm... if you're willing to seed that is! ;)
Yea I Love These, I Believe I'm Seeding. Once I Upload It Doesn't That Mean I'm Seeding?
Yes, and no. You need to have your torrent client (like Utorrent, bitorrent, etc) up and running, and the torrent you are seeding active. So... you want to click on this torrent in the list of torrents visible in your torrent client, and then click the button to start it, the same way you would if it were a torrent you were downloading from someone else. If you don't do these things, nobody will be able to connect to you in order to download. You'll need to seed your torrent at least until 1 or more people have downloaded it completely and are allowing others to download from them by continuing to seed it. I hope this makes sense? If not... just say the word and I'll try to clarify. Again... thanks for sharing! :)
that makes perfect sense, no wonder no one is really downloading them thanks i'll start seeding now
Idk If My Comment Showed But Thanks I Will Seed
Yep, your comment showed. Sometimes they don't appear until the page is refreshed. Glad my explanation made sense! Happy seeding.. :)
oh nice! i been wanting to check this show out and they are in AVI which is perfect for my dvd player! lets hope you get tthis seeding thing under control! thanks a lot for sharing this!!! your the man! (or girl) ha
really? why bother uploading this and it sit unseeded for this long. delete the torrent PB...this is b.s!

These are great for events that we do. Not all places have trash pick-up when there is event going on. These make things a lot easier.
Michael H. from Queen City Catering Posted on 07/19/2013
Coolest things ever! We run a all organic green coffee shop, these are planted all over, "pushing" people to be more aware about being green and recycle. Great size and easy to assemble.
Rena L. from Rena M. Lam Posted on 03/14/2013
When we began moving toward a greener, more environmentally friendly business model we began using these trash cans. Our like-minded customers have told us how much they appreciate this gesture.
Andrew L. from Mike's Coffee and Pie Kitchen Posted on 02/14/2013
This is such an awesome trash can. We use this at our green restaurant and our guests really like it as well. It is easy to set up and you feel good about it.
Eric S. Posted on 01/12/2013
This is great for "green" companies that are looking to do right in the world! Great for outdoor parties and picnics and are an easy clean up!
Laura B. Posted on 12/06/2012
Great for the price and perfect for large parties. You can put them out and not worry about them looking bad in front of guest!
James B. Posted on 11/11/2012
These were definitely the best value and I thought they looked classier than other versions I had seen. Also, I felt they were easy to put together, although I have to admit we did have one volunteer who struggled with them a bit. Overall, a great value for the money.
Karen P. from SCAN of Northern Virginia Posted on 09/26/2012
These are great because when your'e doing an event, you want every base covered. You don't want to worry about having enough trash cans. I always keep a few of these in the van just in case.
Tom M. Posted on 03/20/2012
These green recyclable trash cans are perfect for catering. I always bring two or three with me. It allows me to make sure the host has absolutely no responsibilities at the end of an event.

Su Lian Tan
Professor of Music
Email: email@example.com
Phone: work802.443.5224
Office Hours: W 11:00am-12:00pm TH 1:30-2:30pm
Download Contact Information
Professor Tan will be in residence at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in Singapore later this month. She will be working with composition and flute students there in workshops, Masterclasses, as well as performing a recital, New Worlds for flute. The repertoire of the recital is taken from her recent CD release Grand Theft and other felonies (" a must- own for flutists and flute enthusiasts" Fanfare) and will include exciting premiers of music by Denise Hofmann, John McDonald and the reduction of her concerto Autumn Lute- Song.
Trumpet virtuoso Joe Burgstaller performed the world premier of Ming (Brush Strokes), by Su Lian Tan, on 27 October 2012 at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, Singapore .
The Straits Times, Singapore 28 Oct 2012
".... A highlight was the world premiere of Malaysian-American composer Su Lian Tan's Ming, an evocation of Chinese brush-painted landscapes, its placid waters, gnarled trees, rugged mountains and soaring birds. Partnered by pianist Low Shao Suan, this atmospheric score ambled from impressionistic half-lights to a Messiaen-like timeless calm. Burgstaller's part used the mute liberally, to temper the bluesy timbre before going full voice on a song."
"Particularly alluring…began in an angular Western style with a balance of vehemence and serenity" The New York Times
"The stunner of the evening was Su Lian Tan's Life In Wayang"… The Washington Post
"…a crystal-like evocation of autumn…began in a serene meditation…filling a whole sky with the memory of creation…." The Rutland Gazette
Su Lian Tan is a much sought after flutist and composer. Her music has been described as "the stunner of the evening," (Washington Post) and "…refined, cultured compositions… Rewarding for everyone..." " far and away my favorite…a must- own for flutists and flute enthusiasts.." (Fanfare Magazine), "it is simply gorgeous…so original" ( Carol Wincenc, flutist). Making her first recordings at the age of 14, she has recently been featured in Flute Talk and released a CD featuring her performances of new works dedicated to her, Grand Theft and other Felonies (ARSIS Audio). Superstar Carol Wincenc performs her Autumn Lute- Song as a finale to the program. Ms. Tan has been commissioned by groups such as the Grammy-winning Takacs String Quartet, Da Capo Chamber Players, and the Vermont Symphony. Another recent release Music by Su Lian Tan (ARSIS) contains Jamaica's Songs, written in collaboration with author Jamaica Kincaid. Her intermedia chamber opera Lotus Lives was performed to great acclaim in the last two seasons. Upcoming premiers of commissioned works includes a piano quintet for Sophie Shao, cellist, and concerti for virtuosi Joe Burgstaller , trumpet, and Darrett Adkins, cellist. A current recording project features the Jupiter String Quartet and Bruce Brubaker. Her music is published by ECS Publishing and Theodore Presser.
Also a dedicated teacher, Ms. Tan is Professor of Music at Middlebury
College, where she continues to mentor talented young musicians. This season and next, she will perform, give master classes and guest lectures at several venues including the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore and Oberlin College, Ohio. She has received numerous accolades and citations for teaching as well as for her music, including awards from ASCAP and the Naumburg Foundation. She holds degrees from the Trinity College, London (F.T.C.L.), Bennington College (B.A.), The Juilliard School (M.M.) and Princeton University (Ph.D.).

With the official pictures of the F30 3-Series now available, Photoshop artists have taken to creating a more accurate picture of what the next generation M3 may look like.
We received some great feedback and response on our F80 M3 renders, including several requests for a red version, as long as one with a hood powerdome. We've updated our set of renders with some new Melbourne Red photos that should make red M3 fans happy.
Now that the next generation F80 M3 sedan has been both spied and confirmed, the natural next question is what will it look like? We've taken up the task of previewing what the F80 may look like in our new set of renders.
We received insider input on these renders and the feedback is that these images are generally a good representation of the next M3 sedan. The new distinctive headlight-grille area design is straight from our F30 renders and uncovered spy pics. The M … CONTINUED
Exciting news! After several sets of spy shots, we're happy to finally share the very first spy video of the 2014 M3 Sedan, internally dubbed the F80. As usual, this video provides a much more dynamic impression of the car than photos. No surprise that the new M3 looks very planted as it's sitting fairly low and shows no body roll in these (admittedly) urban driving scenes. Overall, the M3 with its M bumpers and bulging wheel arches looks pugnacious and much more aggressive than the … CONTINUED
Now that the F80 M3 sedan has been given the greenlight, our spies have spotted the F80 M3 continuing its public road testing. While the camouflage on the F80 prototype remains the same as before, we've got some more angles to share with you – a slightly higher-down look than before. The F80 M3 continues to show off its attractive proportions and shape, while looking more aggressive and 'beefier' than the standard F30 3 series due to its widened wheel arches, M styled front and rear … CONTINUED
Rumors of BMW considering V6 engines have been floating around for quite some while now. One possible future application often mentioned when talking about such an engine is the upcoming F80 M3 (F82 M4). As we reported earlier, BMW was studying no less than four potential engine choices for the next M3.
To add to the speculation, we've just discovered that BMW has filed a patent for a unique twin-turbo V6 engine last year. Have a look at this schematic BMW submitted to the German … CONTINUED
We're happy to bring exciting news on the next generation M3. The next generation M3 sedan / M4 coupe will be designated the "F80 M3″. Along with this news comes word that the F80 M3 will indeed return in sedan form (already spied in testing)! The BMW F80 M3 Sedan will likely have its market launch in summer 2013, uncharacteristically before the F82 M4 coupe.
As things look to us, the M3 sedan will be the only model called M3. M3 coupe and convertible versions … CONTINUED
The next generation F30/F32 M3 continues its testing and we've now spotted it for the second time, in much higher detail (click on photos below for hi-res versions).
As before, the signature M3 cues are all clearly seen – quad exhaust, flared fenders, wider track, drilled rotors, and beefier front end. The brakes feature 4 piston calipers.
We believe we may be looking at a different front end on this M3 than on the regular F30 3-series sedan. The clearest clue is the shape of the kidney grilles, … CONTINUED
Exciting moment folks! We bring you the very first spyshots of the next generation F30 M3 / F32 M3. These photos show an F30 3-series sedan with several trademark M3 features such as quad-exhaust, flared fenders and drilled brake discs.
Scott26 claims that these photos are no indication of an M3 sedan making it to production. Rather, BMW had only an F30 prototype to use for testing the M3 parts and components. Don't count the F30 M3 sedan out yet however, as it's been … CONTINUED
Musical chairs for the next generation M3′s powerplant continues. If Autoexpress' latest rumor is accurate, the F30/F32 M3 is expected to feature a tri-turbo 3.3L 6-cylinder motor. One of the turbos would be powered by electricity (not exhaust gases as with traditional setups). The motor is speculated to produce 450bhp.
The F30/F32 M3′s body would make use of CFRP to keep its weight down. Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, BMW M's new managing director also revealed the following to Autoexpress regarding the next gen M3: "There will … CONTINUED
Info on the next generation M3 lineup comes courtesy of insider SCOTT26. Expected in the M3 lineup will again be the M3 coupe and cabrio, but the M3 sedan will supposedly be replaced by the M3 Gran coupe (a 4 door version of the F32 M3 coupe). Also for the first time there will be an M3 touring wagon. Finally, the X3M and an X4M (based on a future X4 SAV model) are speculated. Full details inside.
The next generation M3 is still at least 3 years from its debut, but it's never too early for speculation, particularly about its powerplant. While the current E9x M3 is powered by the marvelous high-revving V8 engine (S65), it's been widely speculated that that the next generation M3 will return to using a 6-cylinder engine. Emissions regulations have forced the move, much like the new upcoming F10 M5 getting the more efficient S63 V8 Twin-turbo engine instead of continuing to use the iconic V10.
So far so … CONTINUED

Today the Times tells us that the Waverly Inn failed a recent health inspection. Presumably something to do with celebrity infestation. As far as were concerned, the more compelling story lies nearby at 239 West 4th Street, the address of another subterranean eatery, Fedora. On the night of Friday the 13th, a health inspector informed the former speakeasys proprietress of 55 years, 87-year-old Fedora Dorado, that he was shutting her down for 129 points worth of violations ranging from not having a sink behind the bar to evidence of mice (the restaurant has a garden). We reached her at her restaurant to hear a tale as woeful as the Inhouse Nosh saga.
Im 87 years old, Dorado told us. Its not worth going through what Im going through, but my head and heart say its worth it. This isnt how I want to close. Dorado, whose father-in-law has owned the building since 1918 and who immigrated from Italy in 1930, estimates that she will spend $6,000 in repairs before she can reopen (she hopes this weekend), not to mention a $1,000 fine for operating without a permit (there was paperwork confusion, she says) and the money she is paying her longtime staff while shes closed. Dorado says she spent six-hour days getting the runaround at the DOHs offices (Theyre so crowded Im surprised someone didnt take out a gun) before hiring an expediter to sort everything out. What makes me sick inside, she says, is, in 55 years, why was I never told that I needed this plumbing, these sinks? We dont have the answer to that, but we know this much in this fine weather, the closure of a West Village garden is criminal.

Celery is a small plant that is widely-available in several different varieties. Generally, only the root of the plant or its stalk is used in cooking, although sometimes the leaves and seeds of the celery plants are dried and crushed for use as a spice. Celery can also be eaten raw, or as a finger food that is dipped in hummus or various sauces.
Despite its somewhat bland and perhaps even disagreeable taste, this humble vegetable is not without its merits. Indeed, it is more nutritious than many other vegetables.
List of Health Benefits
High in fiber – One cup of raw celery provides you with approximately 8 grams of fiber, which is quite a lot seeing as the adult body needs approximately 25 grams of fiber per day to function properly. Fiber helps to cure constipation by softening stools.
Anti-cancer properties – Celery contains elements called acetylenes that have the ability to stop the growth of tumorous cells. In particular, regular celery consumption is known to curb the development of colon and stomach cancer. Celery can also help a patient whom is already suffering from cancer by preventing the cancer from spreading further.
Reduces blood pressure – Celery has high levels of manganese, a mineral that has the ability to reduce blood pressure. Manganese relaxes the cells located along the walls of the arteries, thereby allowing dilated arteries to pass blood more freely, thus reducing blood pressure. However, regular celery consumption is required for this benefit to be realized.
Lowers cholesterol – Scientific experiments have shown that a person can lose as much as 6 points off their cholesterol level by consuming just two celery stalks per day for a month. In fact, celery goes one step further with cholesterol regulation; it also increases the bile acid secretions naturally produced by the body, resulting in more bile being available with which our bodies can remove bad cholesterol.
Natural sleep inducer – Celery contains properties that can aid sleep. Therefore, people suffering from insomnia will greatly benefit from a drink of celery juice before bed time, especially if it is mixed with honey. Besides inducing sleep, celery also accelerates the repair process that all bodies undergo during sleep.
Boosts kidney health – Raw celery juice is a natural diuretic that aids the process of removing kidney toxins. A diuretic stimulates a person to pass more urine, providing the kidneys with a better chance to unclog themselves. Even if one has already developed kidney stones or gallstones, the consistent intake of celery juice can help such stones pass and prevent subsequent formations.
Immune system booster – Celery contains highly beneficial elements called coumarins, which boost the body's immune system and thus protect it from countless infections. Coumarins have also been known to provide relief from migraine headaches.
Good source of vitamin C – Celery contains high levels of vitamin C, an important antioxidant that protects the body from free radical damage.
Calms the nerves – Due to its high calcium levels (an important mineral that aids the nervous system), celery can calm the nerves and fight stress.
Celery Is Not for Everyone
Clearly, celery has many benefits to offer us. However, it is important to remember that certain persons should avoid eating it in one or more of its forms, namely:
- Pregnant women – Pregnant women should avoid eating celery seeds and celery oil, since they can cause bleeding in the uterus and contractions that, in extreme cases, can lead to a miscarriage. Research has shown that eating celery stalks is fine but, given the consequences of eating celery seeds and oil, it might be best for pregnant women to avoid it altogether.
- People will allergies to celery – Just as some people are severely allergic to peanuts or sesame seeds, a small percentage of the population are also severely allergic to celery. When an individual whom is allergic to celery consumes it, they can go into anaphylactic shock – or worse. People with such allergies should remember that boiling or cooking celery will not make it an allergy free-food, and that celery can also be used in countless spice mixes. Therefore, one must be very careful if they suffer from a celery allergy. As with nuts and seeds, you'll be surprised how often this vegetable is added to restaurant dishes and supermarket products.

Not as good as all the hype
I always heard that these igloo things are good for pets. However, my pet does not like it. She doesn't like the low hung entryway, nor does she like the fact that there is no floor. On the other hand, what I do like are the air holes, the durability and the fact that they aren't too expensive. Read full review »

One year ago when I assumed the office of mayor, I was faced with a mounting deficit for Campbellsville/Taylor County Rescue. I could foresee a budget shortfall was unavoidable.
"One thing about him, when he was there, he was all there."
I was listening to Dr. Gibson Winter, then Professor for Christianity and Society at Princeton Theological Seminary. Dr. Winter had this wonderful way of sharing an aside, an "oh by the way story, which would invariably have a meaning all to itself, staying in my mind long after the words of the lecture had been snuffed out by the stuffy air of Stuart Hall.
As Taylor County Judge/Executive, I would like to remind the citizens my door is always open to the public.
Items of interest:
Senate Bill 151, which would have permitted seven casinos to open in Kentucky, died in the Senate by a 21-16 vote.
Naturally, as is the way in politics these days, those in support of the bill immediately blamed Senate President David Williams. Williams moved ahead with a vote even though a key supporter, Gerald Neal, was out of town the day the votes were cast.
She was funny, smart and had a take-charge attitude, just like in the movie.
And, just like in the movie, I took away a life lesson that we should help those who are in need.
Those who have seen the movie "The Blind Side" are familiar with Leigh Ann Tuohy, the woman Sandra Bullock portrays.
Tuohy and her family adopted a boy who didn't have anything ... no family, money, clothing or any clue about what he was doing with his life. That's truly being a part of something bigger than yourself.
If someone you know has a sudden cardiac arrest and you're relying entirely on the local EMS to save them, what do you think their chances of survival are? Fifty percent, 75 percent or 90 percent?
When it comes to sports, I've always loved my favorites — the Kentucky Wildcats, the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Yankees and Indianapolis Colts — but it dawned on me recently just how personally many of us fans take wins and losses.
If you're a UK fan, you have no choice but to hate Duke. As any UK fan knows, that nasty taste that comes into your mouth when you hear the word "Duke" spoken is the result of nothing but the 1992 NCAA Tournament, and what they did to us and our hopes of reaching the Final Four with The Unforgettables.
His lips quivered as tears moistened his eyes. But maybe that was just my imagination.
No, I could have sworn I saw his lower lip quivering. And no mistaking, I heard his voice cracking just a bit.
I can't remember when or where I first heard the story of D.B. Cooper. I was just a child, I know that. I likely caught the story on Unsolved Mysteries or some similar show.
From the moment the tale came on my radar, I was captivated. Those unsolved mysteries and conspiracies always demand my attention.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
-Mahatma Gandhi
As I write this, she's curled up beside me, snoring ever so softly. On her back, she has her paws in the air, with her belly for all to see.
Another one is just on the other side of me, and she, too, is sound asleep. She's curled in a ball, not making any sound.
The other one, the big brother, is at full attention, chasing a pesky fly. He is, after all, the protector of the house.

The England defender has been linked with an exit from the Etihad Stadium throughout the summer after struggling to establish himself as part of manager Manuel Pellegrini's first team.
Richards is part of a group of players, including Matija Nastasic - who is being linked with Everton - Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti who have been left out of Pellegrini's 22-man squad for this season.
The 26-year-old was heavily linked with a move to West Ham and was also reportedly a target for fellow Premier League sides Liverpool and Sunderland earlier this summer.
The terms of the deal taking Richards to Fiorentina have not been disclosed by either club, but City have signed two players from the Serie A side in the last two seasons - Nastasic and Stefan Jovetic.
Last month, Pellegrini confirmed Richards turned down an offer to renew his contract at City.
Micah Richards was a fantastic player, he priorities seemed all wrong. Zabaleta was dead on his feet last year, yet Micah couldn't step up. He played 180 games, hardly a lack of opportunity, he was a started when we won the league. He's a good guy, well loved at the club but injuries and his mentality have cost him. He was offered a performance related contract(like the rest) and didn't want it. So we signed Sagna and told him he had no future.- kippaxstturd


text: I would like to say how disgusted i am that you would allow this to be published, the numerous references to the BRITISH empire as 'England' is countless. Not only did Welsh citizens give their life, but Scottish and even Irish citizens who were die hard nationalists and wishing to be made independent from Britain fought in the Great War and many lost their lives doing so to. I am horrified this has been allowed to stay up and request amendments to be made.

No more drinking. No more gambling. And definitely no more mistress. Now that he's inherited a mountain of debts and responsibility, Lord Nevinstoke has no choice but to start acting respectable. Especially if he wants to find a wife—better yet, a rich wife. Penelope Brown, a manufacturing heiress, seems the perfect choice. She's pretty, rational, ladylike, and looking for a marriage based on companionship and mutual esteem.
But when they actually get to Nev's family estate, all the respectability and reason in the world won't be enough to deal with tenants on the edge of revolt, a menacing neighbor, and Nev's family's propensity for scandal. Overwhelmed but determined to set things right, Nev and Penelope have no one to turn to but each other. And to their surprise, that just might be enough.
Rose Lerner, a graduate of Swarthmore College, is a cook at a natural foods co-op in Seattle. Her debut, In for a Penny, was followed by her second novel with Dorchester, A Lily Among Thorns.
"Georgette Heyer watch out! With believable characters and a keen eye for period detail, Rose Lerner serves up a sprightly and splendid take on the classic marriage of convenience plot. Not to be missed by fans of the Regency romance." --Lauren Willig, author of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
"The grit of Dickens and the true-to-life, breathing characters of Austen. Rose Lerner is a new star in the Regency firmament." --Judith Laik, author of The Lady Is Mine
