Thank you for your product and for your cooking hints
I recently purchased two of your buffalo loins for a US Interior Department cookout. I marinated them overnight in a light mesquite marinade and cooked them according to your directions on the gas grill with indirect moist heat. The result was truly outstanding. There was not one bite left. Your buffalo made for an extremely successful and enjoyable gathering both for the flavor of the food and because the buffalo is the symbol of the Interior Department. Thank you for your product and for your cooking hints.

Gretchen Wilson Heartbroken Over Loss
[photogallerylink id=3582 align=right]Three days ago [lastfm link_type=""]Gretchen Wilson[/lastfm] lost one of her family members–her uncle, Vern Heuer. Mr. Heuer passed away after suffering a massive heart attack and was only 44 years of age.
Wilson's uncle was featured in her 'Redneck Woman' video seven years ago. In a statement released by Wilson she had this to say: "This obviously caught all of us by surprise, and we are just devastated." "I have a hole in my heart and a void in my life that will never be filled. Vern will not only be missed by my family and me but by everyone who was ever blessed to hear his laugh and see his smiling face. I will miss you, Vern." You may remember Gretchen's uncle from an episode of 60 Minutes when he gave host Ed Bradley a tour of the Big O nightclub where Wilson used to work.
Wilson got the news of her uncle's passing while en route to a concert in Nevada. That night, she shared the sad news with the audience in Laughlin and toasted her late uncle with some Jim Beam, which was his favorite drink. Wilson, is currently on tour with her Muzik Mafia posse, will be missing a show scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 13 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She will be back onstage to perform on Sept. 15. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family at this most difficult time.

traThe Second Trailer For THE DILEMMA
Yahoo Movies have debuted the second trailer for THE DILEMMA the new comedy from Ron Howard. It was only a few weeks ago we found out Electric Cars are Gay, well according to vince vaughn's character Ronny but to many thats a offensive gay joke and this new version of the trailer has now been removed.
The Dilemma is a movie about that brotherly love of good friends Ronny and Nick (Kevin James) pals since school and Nick is the married of the two but what if your best friend caught your wife with a younger man. Both Ronny and Nick are design partners with the prospect of landing the dream project how can a best friend approach his friend and tell him his wife is cheating on him?My first problem with this movie is Vince Vaughn and Kevin James as our lmovies lead actors, there not the names that would get my bum on a seat to watch this and secondly its not funny either!
THE DILEMMA also stars Winona Ryder, Jennifer Connolly, Channing Tatum along with Queen Latifah and will be out early 2011 (USA January 14th, 2011).

A 40W, 1-channel, all-tube head with CPC and 6L6 power tubes.
The versatile Little 40 L6 Tube Guitar Amp Head is the perfect amount of power for most live and studio situations, and the amp's Continuous Power Control (CPC) allows you to get the tone you want at the volume you need. The amp automatically biases AND matches (if the tubes are within 20%) the output tubes. Change the tubes for different sounds and power. No more trips to your service tech for biasing.
Continuous Power Control (CPC)
This patent pending feature allows you to control the actual power of the amp, from full power 40W (class A/B) gradually down to 1W (class A) in Pentode mode—or 15W (class A/B) to 0.5W (class A) in Triode mode.
BIAS Switch (low/high)
The Little 40 can operate in either Low Bias mode or High Bias mode. When this button is pressed in, the power tubes work in High Bias mode; when the button is depressed, they work in Low Bias mode. In Low Bias mode, the tubes use less power and less 'tube life' is taken out of them. High Bias mode gives top quality and power, and higher-fidelity sound—but the power consumption and dissipation of the tubes increases. In either mode, unlike other tube amplifiers, the Little 40 is able to greatly prolong the life of its tubes by keeping them optimally biased at all times.

DON a big borderline?
- 0I'm finding that the once believed sweet DON, has been trying to split people.. Myself and my CNA's included. How should I handle this? I have found out that she lied about something one of my CNA's had said to her and wanted to ADNS to "address" this w/me. Because this DON can have her mind on other things while people are talking to her (often if not all the time- which is a big problem in itself)... I'm not sure if her mind was preoccupied while listening to this CNA or if this is some behavior/power WHATEVER thing w/her.
ALL opinions appreciated..
- 2Jul 23, '12 by GrnTea, BSN, MSN, RNthere are always more sides to a story. can you share more details, because i'm not getting what you're trying to say?
- 0Jul 23, '12 by caliotter3I would also need to hear some examples if you're willing to post them without fear of being identified.
- 0Not enough details to answer the question.
- 0Well... I discovered today, that the DON had asked the ADNS to speak to me regarding one of my shifts CNA's telling the DON that I had not been giving her (The CNA) updated patient information ie. ambulation status changes of patients so this CNA can do her job correctly. I am very close with my CNA's (yes I call them "MY" cuz I love them all) and especially this one CNA in question. This CNA told me she hadn't ever said that, and would have no problem discussing with me personally any issues that may come about. And that is true, and I would feel comfortable talking to her as well.
This DON has a tendency for her mind to wander.. maybe ADD or just crazy because her job is crazy. I understand that. So, I don't know if the case was that her mind wasn't fully focused on the conversation w/the CNA or if there is some splitting going on. I always try to see the best in people, and am more inclined to believe she hadn't heard her correctly. I'm just unsure, if I should talk to my DON about this "mix up"... or let it go for now. Thanks for your advice...
- 0So it was just this one incident?
- 2Jul 23, '12 by caliotter3I would speak to the DON and tell her you spoke to the CNA to clear up the matter and now believe the DON may have been mistaken. Do not allow her to keep an inaccurate recollection of this, and make a written memorandum for record and keep it.Last edit by caliotter3 on Jul 23, '12
- 0Yes. This is the first time something has happened like this.
- 0Thank you caliotter3.. I think that's a good idea. I do want to clear this up.
- 2I don't think you can come to any conclusion based upon one incident. I agree it sounds like it could easily have been a misunderstanding, and the best avenue is to just try and clear the air. Good luck!

I can only imagine. You should write a book!
Nah! Everyone's secrets are safe with me. (chuckles) I've had the good fortune to meet and spend time with some amazing gentlemen. Some I'm sure who will remain friends with once I get my retirement notice. I've checked the mail, and no notice yet!
Other than the people you meet, what else have you enjoyed about this business?
Definitely the flexibility and the ability to travel. I can finally say I'm well traveled after exploring Europe in 2010 and 2011.
Do you have a favorite place or destination?
Argentina is my new favorite place. However, Palm Springs still has my heart and I try to get there as much as I can.
Do you travel for business or just for fun?
Mostly for personal reasons nowadays. Though I've traveled a lot in the past, it is not something I do often anymore. New responsibilities and commitments keep me a little bit more grounded.
You've earned quite a reputation here
in Chicago, but I don't believe you're originally from here, are you?
No, I was born and raised a Jersey boy. I lived in New York City for about 10 years, and then moved to Chicago about 4 years ago. It's starting to feel like home.
We hear there were some unhappy men in NYC when you left!
I've had the great pleasure of meeting a lot of great people there, friends and clients alike.
Do you get back there often?
Not often enough, but I try to get back as often as I can. It's still one of my favorite places to be.
How long have you been an escort?
For quite a while now. In fact, this year is my 10th anniversary.
Happy anniversary!
Thank you. It's been quite an interesting ten years! I've probably seen more things in those ten years than many people see in a lifetime.

Teen TitansComments8
this wiki
The Teen Titans are the main protagonists of Teen Titans GO!
They are a superhero group consisted of young heroes who have tasked themselves with protecting the world or even the universe if need be. They're mission: to fight for truth, justice, and the last slice of pizza. They primarily operate in the West side of the United States, specifically Jump City, where their headquarters and home, Titans Tower, is located. Whether it's giant slime monsters, bank robberies, or their diabolical arch foes, the Titans are always there, ready for action.
Little Buddies
- Gail (Human Resources)
- Titans East
- Justice League
The Teen Titans' main rival is the H.I.V.E. Five. Their main difference is that the Titans are superheroes, and the H.I.V.E. are supervillains. But they are both very similar in many ways. Both have 5 members, both have a tower shaped like the first letter of their team name, both of the towers are located outside the city on a seperate island, and both operate in Jump City.
- Terra, who was a Titan in the original series, almost became a Teen Titan, but was banished to another dimension.
- Apparently, all the Teen Titans have their own colors that they use throughout the series: Robin (yellow/red/black) Raven (purple), Starfire (pink), Beast Boy (green), Cyborg (blue).
- Dr. Light was going to become a Teen Titan, but almost instantly after joining he was violently beaten up by the male Titans. This made him quit and swear vengeance.
- At the end of the original series, there were 38 official titans. Besides the original Teen Titans team, there was also Titans East, Titans North, Titans South, and Team Titans. There were also 16 honorary Titans.
- All of the Titans like to watch Pretty Pretty Pegasus, especially Raven.
- All of the Titans have "Little Buddies" in which they keep with them in the Tower.
- Despite being heroes, they seem to like torturing kids as seen in Gorilla and Artful Dodgers.

SAN DIEGO, October 5, 2012 ― The line between political speech and public consequences is often blurry, if not complex. Many politicians mean well, but effect risky policies and laws that have unintended consequences.
Americans are a rich and multi-faceted people. Many people, including physicians of all backgrounds, demand more than platitudes when it comes to their careers and the well-being of their patients. In the setting of elections and the massive overhaul of the American medical system through Obamacare, it is just as valuable to know what is said as it is to uncover what is being hidden.
Flashback to the 2008 Presidential campaign between Obama and McCain: "The Los Angeles Times did not publish the [2003 Palestine Liberation Organization fundraiser] videotape because it was provided to us by a confidential source who did so on the condition that we not release it," said the newspaper's editor, Russ Stanton. "The Times keeps its promises to sources."
Apparently, Americans will never see the 2003 video in which touted "Barack Hussein Obama" and his wife, Michelle, are seen cavorting in an openly anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, anti-American milieu at the P.L.O. event. The LA Times, which purportedly holds the only copy, refuses to release it so that it may retain its journalistic integrity and keep its promise to the original source.
Using the same logic as the LA Times, it would seem appropriate that an individual who feared personal harm or career-damaging actions would likewise seek protection for his 'story' of that same event. Such an individual exists.
Amongst the many private American citizens, there was an individual who, along with the President, attended that same P.L.O. event. He is a Middle Eastern physician who has offered to provide his perspective with only one caveat: that his identity remain private.
Ironically, this source denies any negative feelings against Obama the person; frankly, he quite likes him. However, he agreed to allow his story to be told so that his one "beef" with the President is "aired in the name of honesty." We will call him Doctor Wally for the sake of this article.
Doctor Wally sat nearby Barack Obama during the event, and claims he even shook his hand. He could not overhear the private conversation between Obama and those sitting next to him, but he does confirm that our now-President of the United States was amiable, "smiling and even laughing" when "blatant anti-American slurs were voiced around him."
To some, this P.L.O. fundraiser setting would not seem unlike the 20-year history of Obama sitting in the same church with the controversial and anti-American Reverend Wright.
Doctor Wally has one question for the President today: "If you believe in free speech, Mr. Obama, then come clean with doctors your real plans for the U.S. health system if you are re-elected…your Affordable Care Act was made in secret and passed with questionable ethics…please level with us about your plans to provide millions of extra patients with an insurance card without the trained doctors available to care for them."
This physician goes on to explain: "…I grew up in a society where people died unnecessarily and suffered needlessly because of dangerous [town] doctors who were never trained in medical school…I lost family members to these villains…I want to know if you are aware of the path you are leading us down, because it leads to a similar place."
Apparently, until it is politically neutral, profitable, or the source gives permission, the LA Times will not release the video of then Senator Barack Obama speaking of his friendship for Palestinian activist, Rashid Khalidi, at this Palestine Liberation Organization fundraiser in 2003.
Despite essentially praising the liberal website Mother Jones private video of Mitt Romney's "47%" ― itself taken at a fundraiser ― and writing countless blogs and articles about the negative implications of the words of Obama's challenger, Republican Mitt Romney, the LA Times feels its status as a distinguished news outlet is untarnished by not releasing the Obama-P.L.O. video.
Since a picture speaks a thousand words, and a video is potentially more powerful yet, many question the ethics and reporting neutrality of the LA Times on this issue. Simply releasing a transcript is seen by many as wholly unacceptable on such a prescient and pressing topic to the 2012 Presidential campaign.
In light of Obama's promise to run an ethical administration, and the extremely polarized and biased nature of the reporting by most media entities in favor of the President, it would only be fitting for him to at least openly speak himself in favor of this video's release. Who knows, perhaps the video will eventually even vindicate the President to his critics.
At the height of the Cold War, the Washington Post grappled with a decision to publish a piece about a secret listening device that the U.S. Navy/intelligence service had installed over a Soviet underseas cable. (Anecdotally, this author is aware of these surveillance measures because his own father spent an entire post-military career doing just this type of work for the government over the course of three decades.)
This secret military-CIA device allowed the United States to learn where Soviet submarines were located in the 'needle in the haystack' scenario that makes up the covert world of submarine warfare. Nuclear submarines, making up part of the 'nuclear triad' (airplanes, silos and subs) remain crucial to America's defensive and offensive wartime strategy.
In the case of the Washington Post, executive editor Ben Bradlee chose not to run this Russian spying story on the grounds of national security. Later, it became known that the Soviets had discovered the presence of the listening device and "…it was no longer a matter of national security. It was a matter of national embarrassment," Bradlee was quoted as saying.
The Washington Post decided to ultimately run the story against the will of the sitting administration in the White House.
In the case of President Obama's 'secret' P.L.O. video, it would be interesting to hear what convincing argument could be made to keep it sequestered in the name of U.S. national security or any other national issue for that matter.
And, as a tie-in to America's health system debate, Doctor Wally's question is not only germane, but also essential to a full understanding of the patient care ramifications of Obamacare.
We cannot control the LA Times, and we certainly cannot ask the President of the United States to consider putting aside his political aspirations for re-election so close to the November election.
It would be refreshing, however, for the President to answer Dr. Wally's simple concern about healthcare reform face-to-face with the average voter—specifically, can the quality of America's medical system be sustained under the weight of the Obamacare law?

Well, the requirements I made this comment for say the plugin must

it *should* be met, hence I disagree (they clearly derive from mistakes
in VST). I guess I can interpret "method" more abstractly and consider
them met.

Did you consciously decide to use a setBuffer method for some reason? I
consider that (connect_port in LADSPA/LV2) a mistake and efficiency

I see. "With patches" should have been omitted. Thanks.

Redundant with 71. I'll consider it met, then, thanks.
A requirement specifically about a strong and sensible plugin/UI
separation would have been a good one. By far the worst thing about
porting VSTs with GUIs. A free for all for UIs to screw with DSP code
is insane.

Fair enough, I guess I will just list this as met. I felt compelled to
at least hint that LV2 is not the sort of project that would ever
consider including evil software crippling garbage as a requirement ;)

Yes, I thought it would be a useful comparison. If there is any more
useful information in an easily digestible requirements-based format,
let me know.
> My suggestion that it didn't need MIDI at all (MIDI being too
Anything but events with an arbitrary type tag and a POD body of
*whatever* is a mistake, period.
"Including" MIDI is not a burden, it is a trivial consequence of having
a sane event mechanism. You just need a type tag, and fill your payload
with some MIDI bytes. Not allowing for MIDI is completely unrealistic,
and would mean plugins can't work with by far the most common format of
musical control data, and porting existing code to work as a plugin
become dramatically more difficult. Clearly a loss. All you get trying
to do things that way is endless mailing list fights about whether to
mandate MIDI, or OSC, or the new Ultimate Control Structure, or whatever
- a waste of everyone's time.
I am ranting a bit here about specification philosophy, but: plugins can
use whatever events they want. The organic reality of software
development is... well, reality, and good. The silly idea that The Holy
Specification having written something down means every host magically
supports it is not reality, it is a fantasy.
("Profiles" sound to me symptomatic of this same wrong thinking.
Fine-grained features that precisely describe specific functionality is
the proper way to deal with varying platform and host support, trying to
classify the entire world up front is delusional)
MIDI sucks. But MIDI is what plugins are using, and MIDI is what hosts
are using, MIDI is what tons of existing code uses, MIDI is everywhere.
It is not LV2's place, and it is not my place, to make some fascist
mandate that you may not use MIDI, which would do nothing but cripple
LV2 and reduce support and power. That said, something better is indeed
needed, but=20
(Sidenote: Similarly, Jack royally screwed up by mandating MIDI only,
despite being presented with a patch by myself to trivially make the
event system generic, and that is why you can't sequence precise
per-note pitch bends and parameters in Ardour and control a Jack Synth
via OSC or whatever else today, a common source complaint on IRC these
days. That is what you get when you don't let developers freely
That said, sure, MIDI sucks. Something better is needed, but certainly
not some One Ultimate Control Structure to the exclusion of everything
else. Extensibility is the way. Anyway, the actual details are the
same. With LV2 I have been thinking a lot about this, but there are 3
main options for controllers:
1) Use atom "objects". These are essentially POD dictionaries, and thus
extensible. By far the most flexible, automatically serialisable, but
with a bit of conceptual and syntactic overhead to actually using them
2) Use OSC. Frankly atoms are better, but OSC is 'standard'.
3) Use a special struct. This is the knee-jerk C programmer thing to
do, and simple and fast, but it worries me because if something is
omitted from that struct - oops, now everyone has to switch to an
entirely new one. I guess an extensible struct with a size field would
be a good compromise, we should have made *all* the structs like that
I have been generally going by the philosophy that custom structs are
bad, since there is an existing serialisation mechanism in place that
works with standard atom types that is used e.g. for cross-process
communication between UI and plugin as well as state saving and so on.
It saves to/from the same format as LV2 data files, meaning describing
things there for whatever reason is also natural. This might be an
exception for performance reasons, however. It might be best for me to
just forcefully drag people into using atoms for everything, though,
since that is also what you need to use to get higher level control like
"load this sample", and it means progress is not held up by explicit
host support for every little thing... perhaps I need to spend some more
effort making working with dictionaries really clear and obvious, it is
the best solution on paper, it's just confusing to people who don't get
the big picture. I very much like the idea of completely open ended
communication between plugins and UI, as well as between plugins (and/or
plugins and hosts), where everything is fast, numeric, and POD, yet
serialisable to the standard LV2 data syntax. It seems worth it.
Liberating, but you have to 'get it' first.
Anyway, I've gone on a digression. Thanks for the input, document
updated as suggested.

When driving through France, don't forget to carry a yellow fluorescent jacket...
All vehicles driving on French roads are obliged to carry a yellow fluorescent jacket, that must be put on if the driver has to get out in an emergency. The jacket must be stored in the car, not in the boot, and be easily accessible. Failure to carry the obligatory jacket may lead to an instant fine of up to 130 Euros, if stopped by police.

There are four main routes south through France, and all of them lead to Spain.
They all include long stretches of toll motorway, but three out of four also include long sections of road that are not toll roads.
While it is of course possible to find a route south through France from Calais to the Spanish border avoiding all tolls, this is generally a pointless exercise except for very slow-moving vehicles, as it would involve hundreds of kilometres on slow road with numerous towns and villages to negotiate.
Routes to Mediterranean Spain:
: Barcelona, Valencia, the Spanish Costas from the Costa Brava to the Costa del Sol.
The Spanish border crossing is at le Perthus, south of Perpignan
Recommended routes:
All motorway, avoiding Paris
. : Leave Calais on the A 26 following signs for Reims. Then follow down through Reims, Troyes, Dijon, Lyon, Valence, Montpellier and Perpignan, to the Spanish border at Le Perthus.
1238 km
Map, showing motorway hotels - Calais, Reims, Dijon, Lyon route
b) All motorway, via Paris.
Leave Calais on the A 26 following signs for Reims. Then follow down through Paris, Orleans, Clermont Ferrand, Beziers, Perpignan. Motorway free from Clermont Ferrand to Béziers, except for toll on Millau viaduct.
Distance: 1174 km
Map, showing motorway hotels - Calais, Rouen, Orleans route
c) Mostly motorway, avoiding Paris
. Leave Calais on the A 16 following signs for Abbeville. Then follow down through Rouen, Evreux, Chartres, Orleans, Clermont Ferrand, Beziers, Perpignan. Motorways free from Abbeville to Rouen, and Clermont Ferrand to Béziers, except for toll on Millau viaduct.
Distance: 1172 km
Map with hotels
d) The fastest route
without any tolls
: see
To the Mediterranean without tolls
Distance, a little over
1200 km
. But it will take about 3 to 4 hours more driving than any of the other routes
Routes to northern and western Spain,
via southwest France.
: San Sebastian, Bilbao, Madrid, Portugal, Asturias, La Coruña .
The border crossing is at Irun.
Recommended routes
Fastest route
- all motorway or dual carriageway except through Rouen. Leave Calais on the A 16 following signs for Abbeville. Then follow down through Rouen, Alençon, Le Mans, Tours, (or Rouen, Chartres, Orleans, Tours) and the A10 to Bordeaux, Bayonne and the Spanish border.
See tolls and details below

motorway hotels on these routes
b) The fastest route
without any tolls

Calais to Bayonne / Irun without tolls
Distance, about
1100 km

Motorway tolls on routes through France to Spain: January 2012
Car + caravan;
add about 50%).
Truck / HGV toll rates (class 4)
: approximately three times the rate for cars.
Calais-Spain motorway toll costs:
Eastern route
- for Mediterranean destinations, via border crossing at Le Perthus
Calais - Le Perthus
via Rouen, Chartres & Clermont Ferrand: 53.00 €
(cheapest fast route)
Calais - Le Perthus
via A26, Reims and Lyon: 96.70 €
Calais - Le Perthus
via Paris, Orleans & Clermont-Ferrand: 70.90 €
Le Havre - Le Perthus
via Chartres, Orleans & A 71. 49.60 €
Calais-Spain border motorway toll costs:
Western route
- for northern Spain, central Spain and Portugal via border crossing at Irun. (See below for details)
Calais - Irun
via Rouen, Alençon, le Mans, and A10 to Bordeaux:
72.00 € (fastest)
Calais - Irun
via Rouen, Chartres, then N10 to Tours, and A10 to Poitiers, and N10 to Bordeaux:
14.70 € (shortest,
but Chartres to Tours, 120 km, mostly single carriagewa
Calais - Irun
via Rouen, Orleans, and A10 to Poitiers, then N10 to Bordeaux:
42.10 €
(almost all dual carriageway or motorway)
Calais - Irun
via Rouen, Orleans, Vierzon, Limoges, Angoulême, Bordeaux: 27.20 €
Alternative routes through France to Spain via
Though it is usually easiest and faster to stick to French motorways and pay the toll, this is not necessarily true when driving from Calais to Southwest France and the border crossing to Spain at Irun. The choices come after Rouen or Chartres.
The shortest route
after Rouen, but not the fastest nor the least stressful, is via Chartres, then to take the N10 from Chartres to Tours, then join the A10 (toll) as far as Poitiers, then the N10 again to Bordeaux. The N10 from Chartres to Tours is largely single carriageway.
The fastest route
is almost all motorway via Rouen, Alençon, le Mans, and then from Tours the A10 (toll) as far as Bordeaux.
A shorter fast route
is to continue on the N154 from Chartres towards Orleans, then take the A10 (toll) as far as Poitiers , then rejoin the N10 (free, dual carriageway) as far as Bordeaux.
For an even cheaper fast route
at Orleans, take the A71 > A20 in the direction of Toulouse. At Limoges, follow N141 for Angoulême, where you can then take the N10 as far as Bordeaux. All but about 40 miles of this alternative route to Bordeaux is on motorways or dual carriageway, but there are no tolls after Vierzon.
Map, showing motorway hotels on these routes
Savings on tolls
: for cars, 58 € difference between the fastest and the shortest routes: for camper vans the difference is about 85 €, and for HGVs and trucks, about 170 €.
NB: The shortest route
..... Since the savings on fuel and on distance make the shortest route an attractive proposition for HGVs, it is not necessarily a route that is recommended for cars. Routes c and d are recommended as offering a good balance between speed and toll costs.

Oxford Messenger
Pricey, but worth it
I have long wished for a smallish leather bag to accommodate a tablet and function as my purse,yet not be heavy, bulky, or boring black or brown. I am very pleased with my (sale!) purchase of the Oxford Messenger Bag. Color, materials, and workmanship are excellent. My tablet is a snug fit in the exterior pocket, even in it's leather case. Levenger does it right - again!
July 10, 2014
I bought this in blue, and it's a beautiful bright ocean blue, love the color! This is perfect for files, carrying my laptop, papers, all the things that you would normally stuff into a briefcase, but don't necessarily fit well into a purse or tote. Visually it is a nice alternative to a traditional briefcase, and can also be used as a purse. Great quality leather, and did I mention the color??
September 9, 2014
Great Purchase
Quality leather and color (Cobalt Blue); weight with laptop inside is good but limited space. Complements received by others. Excellent is you are looking for something to just carry your laptop.
August 7, 2014
Finally a bag that fits both file folders and an iPad ! Have had lots of compliments on the style.and color. Would love interior to have a three pockets for cell phone and keys rather than two and a spot for pens. Also would love for the shoulder strap to be padded since it is heavy with all that I load into it. Overall a great product especially considering the price.
June 5, 2014
Terrific bag
Perfect size for phone, iPad, pens, notebook, wallet. Perfect for travel. Keeps me organized - and looks very stylish.
May 15, 2014
Beautiful bag
This was a birthday present for a daughter. She loves the softness of the leather and the blue color is just magnificent. So happy for this bag, perfect for carrying her iPad to school, an elementary school teacher. Love it.
April 19, 2014
Finally, the Perfect Bag!
For years I've been searching for the perfect bag: the one that would hold everything I need, including letter-size papers; the one that would have a shoulder/crossbody strap without an extraneous handbag handle; the one that would be slim enough so that it rests on my body and doesn't bulk out; the one that would be easy to open and easy to close. Finally, I have found it! This is that bag! I no longer need to carry a purse and a tote to go into the city--this messenger bag holds everything, and worn crossbody, it leaves my arms free to swing while I'm walking. In addition, it's a beautiful object, aesthetically pleasing to look at, which means a great deal to me when it's something I carry with me every day.
March 10, 2014
pleasing and practical
Love this bag so far-- * perfect size for me – comfortably fits letter size files & circa notebooks, yet appearance is more purse-sized than briefcase—comfortable as an everywhere/everyday bag * lightweight (for leather) and very pleasingly soft and supple to the touch, yet holds its shape and stands upright even if empty * well-conditioned so it repels water—I've been caught out in a soaking rain and a light snowstorm to no ill effect, just shook it off dry when I got in * Strap can go long enough to comfortably wear cross-body, even over a coat Also has nice details you don't notice until using it: * lightly padded all around, and curved bottom of main compartment would keep tablet or mini-laptop from clonking on the ground. My smartphone feels protected even when tossed in the conveniently-reached outer back zipper pocket . * The very strong magnetic closures are hidden under the leather, so it's easier to close and looks nicer easier than the typical penny-size magnet/receptacle clasps out there-- when you open flap, you see only leather * Magnet closure has a range over an inch up or down, so flap almost automatically closes fairly snuggly over the top of the compartment whether empty or stuffed full. I don't feel like I'd lose items if it was knocked over or put under airline seat (my usual fear with non-zipper tops) The cons? Like all Levenger leather, it's quite expensive (though quality and details come with that). I managed to purchase at a large discount (an imperceptibly damaged, unpackaged return), which was still an expensive luxury for budget-minded me, but a good value I'm very happy I splurged on. I concur that a couple pen holders would have been nice. Also, the size tradeoff of not having to haul around a briefcase means main interior compartment is only about a liter bottle diameter front to back, so it will fit a couple paperbacks with your wallet and files, but not your lunch container (too thick) or a full sized laptop (too wide). Agree with other reviewer that the stiff interior pockets are a little tough to reach into, but that also means they don't get caught up like fabric ones do as I slide my notebooks or checkbook wallet in and out, so it's not really a con to me.
December 10, 2013
Love this bag! It's the perfect size for a iPad and notebook and other small extras. The bag is elegant and the quality is superb- as is usual for Levenger products. Definitely happy with the purchase!
November 30, 2013
stunning bag!
I purchased this for my daughter who recently graduated from college and has started her new career. This is perfect for her "work mac-book" and other items she carries back and forth to the city. Beautiful leather, and a subtle blue color...still stylish enough for a young girl ! I will definitely be purchasing other leather goods from Levenger in the future!

In the Details
In the Details is our weekly look at one especially smart, innovative or unusual detail—or, in this case, two details—of a new design.
Urbanears' latest set of in-ear headphones, called Kransen, has two unique features which together keep its cords tidy and readily accessible.
The first, dubbed Snap Construction, connects the two earbuds back-to-back with, you guessed it, a simple snap. The second, called Cable Loop, secures the coiled cords via some acrobatics of the plug. The innovations were developed separately, a year and a half apart and for two different brands. Only when combined in the Kransen did the solutions really shine.
The idea for Snap Construction arose three years ago during an argument between two of the Stockholm-based company's founders. They were trying to agree upon a way to easily store earbuds during a momentary interruption in music listening—say, while talking to a grocery store cashier. Putting the headphones away is an unnecessary and time-consuming chore. Keeping them in is just rude. So where do you put them? The idea then on the table—to make one side of the earbuds extra long so it could be flung over a shoulder—was, one founder claimed, fundamentally uncool.
A children's-store display solved the quibble—and got rid of that asymmetrical-cord idea forever. Someone at the toy store had built a pair of non-functioning headphones out of Legos. As it happens, some folks at Urbanears had done consulting work with Lego, and the display resonated. Urbanears' design director and co-founder, Marcus Von Euler-Rudbäck, wondered, "What if you could snap [the earbuds] around your neck all day, and when someone calls, snap them off?"
Von Euler-Rudbäck and team readily admit that their version of the snap, which they made from a hard but springy thermoplastic polyurethane, is very low-tech compared to Lego's precision engineering. The TPU's flexible properties allow the right side (the male end) to snap into the left side (the female end) without the pieces being perfectly produced. (A lucky bonus: the material also cut down on the noise disturbance caused by the cord.)
Urbanears placed the male end of the snap on the right earbud because, earlier in the design process, they had decided to add a microphone on the lefthand cord—and, for aesthetic reasons, they wanted to distribute the extra components as evenly as possible. (The extra piece was insignificant in terms of weight.)
The Snap Construction debuted in an earlier earbud model, and it proved a helpful solution for people who cruised around with their phones in their pockets (mostly men). But it was not as functional for those who carried their phone in a purse or bag, which often cradled the phone too low for snapping the earbuds around the neck.
To make the snap more universally beneficial, it needed to be paired with a complementary innovation—hence the addition of Cable Loop, which was initially developed for Coloud Headphones (another brand owned by the company) a year and a half ago while Von Euler-Rudbäck and team experimented with building a better cable management system. From the start they knew they didn't want to just gob on more plastic or create more moving parts. They wanted something that was really simple and that moved the earbud field forward.
Above: sketches for the Cable Loop. Below: early prototypes
They saw an opportunity in the plug. Make the plug's casing bendy enough and add a hole at its foot, and the plug itself could be arched and the tip threaded through that foot to make a loop—a simple and secure fix that would hold a coil of cords tight. To bend appropriately, the plug's casing needed to perform more like a soft, durable rubber. Again the designers turned to TPU, but this time they used a formula capable of more flexibility.
It worked. In practice, the loop acts kind of like a lock, stopping bundled cords from wriggling away. And it should work no matter how you like to coil your headphone cords. Von Euler-Rudbäck prefers a familiar knot used on boats—but he assures us that expert rope-handling skills are not necessary. "There's no right or wrong way to loop the cables."

Is the pace really slower here? Well, that depends. There are so many ways to relax in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But there's a whole lot more to see and do. From galleries and shows to sports and shopping, there's always a new experience just moments away.
Roanoke has earned the nickname "Star City of the South" by being the recreational, cultural and business hub of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Roanoke and the surrounding cities and counties that make up the Roanoke Valley host more festivals and cultural events than any place west of Richmond.
Visitors to the Roanoke Valley have so many choices - visit a festival, enjoy the great outdoors, explore the local arts scene, expand their horizons at a historic site, or all of the above.
Most importantly, it all happens amid the grandeur of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

At yesterday's CTA board meeting, Riders for Better Transit gave the following public comments:
As most of us know, CTA has a very popular Bus Tracker service that provides real-time arrival information for CTA buses.
We all love to talk about the need for better rail service, but rarely notice when these complicated infrastructure projects actually find a solution.

Riders for Better Transit to Testify at Transit Agency Board Meetings on Fare Increases and Service Cuts
In coming weeks, the CTA and Metra are expected to propose their 2012 budgets, which will likely include fare increases and/or service cuts.
Unfortunately, the threat of fare increases and service cuts have become an annual tradition in our region because our elected leaders have failed to adequately fund transit.
The consequences of service cuts and fare increases would be far-reaching, impacting our mobility, our economy, our quality of life, our environment and the congestion on our streets.
In short, it would make everyday activities more difficult for a wide range of people—from a child trying to get to school, a worker getting to his or her job and a grandmother trying to visit her grandchildren.
Representatives from the Riders for Better Transit initiative at the Active Transportation Alliance will be giving public comments regarding transit budgets at the following upcoming transit agency board meetings:
Chicago Transit Authority
Thur., Oct. 13, 1:30 p.m.
567 W. Lake St., Second Floor, Boardroom, Chicago, Ill.
Fri., Oct. 14, 9 a.m.
547 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Ill.
Thur., Oct. 20, 9:30 a.m.
175 W. Jackson Blvd., Suite 1650, Chicago, Ill.
Thank you Alderman Solis for requesting 39 new bicycle racks for Chicago's 25th Ward!
A new travel policy for city employees will highlight transit as the preferred way to get around, according to a
Free help is available from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency encouraging governments to implement smart growth practices.
Last week's Don't X Out Public Transportation rally was a huge success! Thank you to all those who participated.
I really like and appreciate the ongoing coverage of our ailing transit system provided by Tribune transportation reporter John Hilkevitch
While the CTA and Metra are considering fare hikes and service cuts for their 2012 budgets, our legislators in DC are considering massive cuts to funding for public transit.

CALGARY -- LNG Energy announced the successful completion of the 2011 "Sling" 2D seismic program on its 100 percent held PPL 319 licence, onshore Papua New Guinea.
PPL 319 is in the lowland area of the Papuan fold and thrust belt between several substantial oil and gas fields and is on-trend with Oil Search' s Kutubu and Gobe producing oil fields. Ninety-one miles (148 kilometers) of 2D data was acquired during the periods April-June and October-December 2011, with interpretation in early 2012. The survey comprised 41 miles (67 km) of alluvial river flats around the Kikori River, 36 miles (59 kilometers) of karst limestone and 13 miles (22 kilometers) of volcanic terrain.
PPL 319 contains proven, mature Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) Lower Imburu Fm. source rocks that are presently generating hydrocarbons from local kitchen areas. It is believed that PPL 319 contains clastic reservoirs of Lower Cretaceous-Upper Jurassic age (Toro-Hedinia-Iagifu sandstones), particularly in the western part and the Kikori Bend area of the PPL 319 Licence. The company believes the presence of source, seal, reservoir and structural traps on PPL 319 are extremely prospective in this proven hydrocarbon trend.
There has been little exploration activity in PPL 319 over the 20 years prior to its acquisition by LNG, despite the prospective location of the licence. In 2010, LNG undertook a HRAM/AIRGrav survey, flown by Sander Geophysics Ltd that, among other structures, identified a large structure between PPL 319 and InterOil' s PPL 237. This structure was subsequently confirmed by the 2010 2D Poroman seismic survey on the eastern boundary of PPL 319.
This aeromagnetic/gravity survey and the reprocessed Base Resources 1988 Victory Junction seismic data identified another prospective area referred to by LNG as the "Kikori Bend" area near the western part of PPL 319, on trend with the Gobe oil field. The 2011 Sling seismic survey was undertaken over the entire western section of PPL 319 including the Kikori bend area and clearly identified the Tuyuwopi prospect.
The extensional fault related prospects identified at Kikori Bend are early rift-related structures that exhibit little late stage structural movement. These preserved extensional traps have increased longevity and the proven Jurassic source rocks are in the oil window in this area. The traps are believed to have been charged early as oil was generated, have good top seals and are less likely to be affected by late stage uplift or subsequent gas charge. LNG believes the reservoir will be oil charged and is undertaking a detailed analysis of the traps identified. As with many PNG discoveries, LNG anticipates multiple pay zones in the sandstone reservoirs of Lower Cretaceous-Upper Jurassic age.
Logistically, PPL 319' s Kikori Bend area is strategically placed in the lowlands with river, road and helicopter access. It is in close proximity to Oil Search' s existing crude export pipeline and the Exxon LNG Gas line which traverse part of PPL 319. Also within PPL 319 is Kopi base, a hub for Exxon and Oil Search' s oil and gas development activities. In a country where logistics often define economics, PPL 319 and specifically the Tuyuwopi prospect are favorably situated.
"The Sling seismic program has identified the very attractive Tuyuwopi prospect. Given the location and surrounding hydrocarbon production trends, we are very encouraged by this target and are developing our work program around it," said Dave Afseth, President and CEO. "Additional leads have also been identified that will be further investigated."

The 5 Best Lady Antebellum Videos (page 2)
September 17, 2011 9:00 AM
4. American Honey
Hillary Scott takes the lead on this Lady A hit and though the reviews on the song were both positive and negative, this trio showed the world they're here to stay. This was another number 1 hit on the US Country Charts and only paved the way for brighter songs.
It was a song they all knew they wanted the moment they heard it. Dave Haywood told The Boot "I think it's a message that we want to have out there that as crazy as the times get for our job and anybody's job, you have to remember when life was a little simpler and a little sweeter."
"There's a wild wild whisper blown in the wind / Callin out my name like a long lost friend / Oh I miss those days as the years go by / Oh nothings sweeter than summertime / And American honey"

(By Baxie) I'm not one to brag but I'm generally a peace loving guy. I avoid all kinds of uncomfortable confrontations. I reject physical violence of any kind. More importantly, no matter how much I am taunted, intimidated, bullies, hazed, razzed, or ridiculed…I am mostly likely not going to be the one to throw the first punch. Why? Because at the end of the day, I am a tremendous coward–especially if there's a chance that I could sustain a series of painful boo-boos. This is why you would (almost) never see me approach a guy like Scottie Pippen for an autograph. That guy's a psychotic nutcase!

KR: I feel great not having to go there after I work in the morning. This is all new to me, having free time, having time to have lunch. For the first time in 13 years, I can have lunch with my husband at a restaurant. I had no idea that there was this whole world of people out there eating in restaurants in the middle of the day. Because I've spent so many years of my life eating with my husband in my dressing room out of a container from some Chinese restaurant.
KC: So, will there be a fourth baby?
KR: I'll never say never. But I don't know that I'll give birth to a fourth, let's put it that way.
KC: You would consider adopting?
KR: Oh, yes, absolutely. I don't know that I can handle being pregnant again. I just don't know that I could do it. I've really been feeling it this time; I just feel so uncomfortable.
KC: You don't seem to have gained much weight with this pregnancy....
KR: Are you kidding me? I've put on 30 pounds already. If I didn't think you'd write about it, I'd just get naked for you right now. I'd let you see all my cellulite, and then you'd be sorry.
KC: Are you concerned about losing the baby weight?
KR: Well, I don't work out, but I don't really expect results either. It comes off when it comes off. And when you have kids, your life is sort of constant exercise. You're always running around, making sure they don't kill each other. But do I have time to go to the gym right now? No. Do I want to? Not really. I'm too lazy. Even if I had all the time in the world, I really am very lazy. I like to walk on the treadmill occasionally. But that's really only when I'm watching Judge Judy. That's my sacred time. And I don't walk fast. And if something really good is happening, I step off, so I can really absorb what Judy's saying.
KC: It sounds like your life is too good right now to complicate it with something as tedious as working out.
KR: You're right. My life is just too relaxed right now. It used to be that whatever fell from a high chair is what I would eat for dinner. Now I say to people, "You know what, guys? I'm going to eat!" And trust me, I've earned it I'm going to eat something really good!

According to Cajun legend, the Loup Garou is a creature that thinks like a man, craves human flesh like a werewolf, and tortures souls like a demon.
Locals, however, know this legend to be fact. They've seen it running through these woods.
Only the brave have dared enter this dark, foreboding place in search of the Loup Garou.
Most were never seen again . . .
