MONTREAL —The Montreal Impact insist there will be no scoreboard watching Saturday night as they try to keep their minuscule Major League Soccer playoff hopes alive. Jack Ham Jersey . Thats because theyll be in Houston to face the Dynamo, who hold the fifth and final playoff spot in the MLS Eastern Conference. Houston, which has yet to lose in 15 home games at BBVA Compass Stadium, has 49 points for a nine-point lead over seventh-place Montreal. In order to avoid being eliminated from the playoff race, the Impact have to become the first team to beat the Dynamo in their new home. "Were just trying to get a win on the field, and thats all that matters," Montreal forward Andrew Wenger said. "Theres one goal. We cant tie, we cant lose, we know exactly what we have to do." Even if the Impact win on Saturday, they could be eliminated Sunday if sixth-place Columbus beats division leaders Kansas City. Montreal, Houston and Columbus, which has 48 points, all have three regular season games remaining. Despite facing such bleak prospects of reaching the playoffs, Impact coach Jesse Marsch says there is plenty to motivate his squad when they take the field against the Dynamo, who are 10-0-5 at home. "We understand that the chances are very slim but we want to do everything we can on our end at this point to keep ourselves alive and to put pressure on them, make it interesting," Marsch said. "I think also the challenge thats on the table is going to a place where a team hasnt lost and that theyve been very good at home. I think its a challenge that we want to rise to the occasion and show that weve matured a lot this year and that something as big as this we can go there and now be successful. "So the combination of those two things means that theres something to play for, for sure." The two teams have split their season series. The Impact claimed a 4-2 win over Houston in their first meeting at Saputo Stadium on June 23. The Dynamo humbled Montreal 3-0 at home on July 21. Those two results are typical of the Impacts first MLS campaign. Montreal currently boasts a seven-game unbeaten streak at home, including a scoreless draw in their last outing against Sporting KC, but the expansion Impact are 2-12-1 on the road. Montreal held leads in each of its two previous road games in Columbus and Chicago but could not maintain them and ultimately lost both. The only road result the Impact have enjoyed since a surprising 2-0 first road victory in Kansas City on May 5 was a 1-0 win at New England on Aug. 12. And theyll be trying to end Houstons 23-game home unbeaten streak, the second-longest in MLS history. "Every game is different," Montreal defender Matteo Ferrari said. "We played some good games, like New England. We won and they didnt score. Sometimes we didnt play well so for sure we have to keep more balanced." Clearly, though, the Impact will be looking to create offence. "I think we just need to be very strategic about how we push the game," Marsch said. "Any time now youre pushing to get a win and result and three points, you want to do it in a way where you dont leave yourself exposed. Weve said for a while now that all these games at the end of the year come down to the last 15 minutes, 20 minutes, and thats proved to be the case in a lot of different results around the league." Adding to the challenge, the Impact will be without defender Nelson Rivas and midfielder Collen Warner. The team announced Tuesday that Rivas had season-ending knee surgery. Warner will serve a one-game suspension for yellow-card accumulation. Houston captain Brad Davis has a left calf strain and may not be able to play. Look for Marsch to start Wenger and pair the rookie with striker Marco DiVaio up front in a 4-4-2 lineup. "Its something that were probably leaning towards doing," Marsch said. "So I think that on a smaller field and everything else with his strength and speed and athleticism that he can do well, and I think the partnership of him and Marco has moved itself along where now its ready to see what it looks like." Chosen first overall by Montreal in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, Wenger has scored four goals in 20 games. Three of his goals have come in his four starts this season, including his last on Aug. 4 in a 2-0 win over Philadelphia. "Its going to be a tough game," Wenger said. "Were going to have to work hard defensively and get a lot of guys behind the ball, and its going to be hot, as well, because were not used to that, but I think were up to the challenge.

Kinder Morgan Bulls Look for a Breakout
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Energy pipelines have been a favorite of the bulls, and now they're looking for Kinder Morgan (KMI) to break out.
OptionMonster's monitoring systems detected the purchase of more than 5,700 December 45 calls on Friday, most of which priced for 48 cents and 49 cents. The volume was more than more than five times the previous open interest at the strike, indicating that new positions were initiated.
The calls lock in the price where shares can be bought in the energy-transportation company. Because of their cheap entry price, the contracts can generate significant leverage if the stock keeps climbing but limits the amount of money that can be lost if it drops.Kinder Morgan shares rose 1.4% to a new all-time closing high of $40.48 on Friday after testing previous peaks from 2012 in earlier sessions. The call buyers are clearly looking for a breakout to new record highs. Overall calls at all strikes outnumbered puts by more than 4-to-1 in the session, and total option volume was twice its daily average in the last month. Russell has no positions in KMI.

8 Exercises to Do with Your Dog
Learn the best ways to get yourself and your pooch off the couch
By Alexandra Gekas
Not only does "doga" improve strength and flexibility, but it also bonds owners and pets. "It gets you in touch with your dog. And then you'll notice more places where the dog is licking, warmer or inflamed than you would from looking at him curled up at the foot of the bed," says Dr. Becker. As far as actual poses, teach your pooch to do his own moves in addition to using him similarly to how moms use their children in baby yoga. "Teach your dog to do upward and downward dog. Then, do planks over him while he's lying down. You can do seated stretches with a little dog in your lap, you can both lay down and practice happy doggie pose (aka happy baby pose) and you can do final relaxation together," says Glor. "Just avoid tree pose, so you don't get mistaken for a potty target!"

A typical summer day for seventeen-year-old Tamara Lambert usually starts on the golf course with her personal coach, and then it is off to the country club, mall, or her best friend's house. Her family home may be worth millions, but it is the last place she wants to be.
The move out of the apartment building and into their very own home should have been a time to rejoice for Shasta Reid-Williams and her family, but the reality of it all is crashing down around her. This was her idea, one she pushed for, and now she is stuck in the house all day with the boys, while her husband works day and night just to barely scrape even.
The step-sibs, her stepmother Barbie, and crazy Aunt Lute drive Tam nuts on a good day, but in one afternoon those good days are long gone. Now they are stuck in a tiny little house on Blue Sky Hill, and her father has skipped the country trying to evade prosecution for financial fraud. While Tam's life has turned upside down, Shasta's is not much better, and with the secret she is keeping from her husband Cody, it is only going to get worse. Tam and Shasta may come from different sides of the track, but together they have formed a tentative friendship, and a binding element in all of their lives is an amazingly astute homeless lady named Sesay.
Learning humility is never easy, and often very painful, but it is a powerful lesson to learn. Tam and her family get knocked out of their ivory tower, and for the first time in her life she feels like a real person, and a young woman that would make any parent proud. Shasta may be a few years older than Tam, but motherhood and marriage does not mean maturity, and her impetuous nature comes off as childish. It is Sesay's wisdom that I find the most intriguing, because for all that she lacks, she seems more content with her life than many of those around her, striking home that less really can be more.

WASHINGTON, August 9, 2013 — This week Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended yet another olive branch to the United States, which is currently embroiled in a heated budget-cut debate. With looming drastic budget cuts coming to the Pentagon, Defense News reported that Israel has offered to forgo its promised protection from the sequestration cuts, giving up roughly $55 million in missile defense aid.
Outgoing Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren told Defense News that, "Our position is we must bear the burden that our American friends are bearing," with the website noting that both countries acknowledge that this is "a painful, yet pragmatic price for the goodwill to be generated among longtime supporters in Washington." At first glance, perhaps that is all it is…another gesture of goodwill by Israel to curry favor with the Americans.
However, as the final Jewish month of the year, Elul, falls upon us, perhaps we should give Netanyahu the benefit of the doubt. Jews around the world take these 29 days to make resolutions and repent for past actions. There is an emphasis on improving interactions between both man and G-d, as well as man and fellow man. One of the main Jewish tenants of treating your fellow man in a proper way is Dan Lekav Zchut, or "Give the benefit of the doubt". In the spirit of Elul, perhaps Israeli Prime Minster deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Netanyahu has been reckless as of late, infuriating his base by absurdly agreeing to return to peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority (PA) despite the PA's staunch refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist, but then, after the PA pouted that Israel was not doing enough to prove they wanted peace, Bibi moronically agreed to release 82 Palestinian prisoners, most with blood on their hands. Alas, 82 was simply not enough, and so PA President Mahmoud Abbas whined to the media and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Bibi yet again acquiesced.
Many in the pro-Israel camp have not been able to stop shaking their heads in a concoction of shock, sadness and fear. Danny Danon, an up and coming member of Netanyahu's very own Likud party, described the PM's actions in one simple yet perfectly-fitting term: "lunacy."
Just a short time ago Bibi was the darling of the Jewish people, standing up to President Obama's shameful demands that Israel agree to negotiate the return to indefensible 1967 borders and warning the UN about the Iranian nuclear threat. He dazzled the people he swore to defend with his gutsy visual aid demonstrations on Iran's plans to exterminate Israel and the Jews, bringing the blueprints to Auschwitz to the UN Assembly in 2009 and a cartoon bomb in that very same hall three years later. In his latest term as the Prime Minister of Israel he proving to be the right-wing hawk he always claimed to be.
SEE RELATED: Israel should have less respect for Palestinians
Things have gone sideways, or rather left, for Bibi since then, culminating with this pathetic peace talk charade.
Bibi flip-flopping is nothing new to the Israeli people, which is why, perhaps, he deserves the benefit of the doubt after an announcement he made this week.However, perhaps, giving Bibi the benefit of the doubt, there is far more to the offer Israel made to the US this week, hidden in the subtext.
All of the infuriating decisions Netanyahu has made in the last few weeks have stemmed from his primary desire to appease the United States, which is desperately looking for a win of any kind in a Middle East on fire. Knowing that they have absolutely zero chance of reasoning with the numerous Arab radical regimes and rebel in the region, the Obama White House does what every American President has done since 1948…beat up on your only Democratic friend because you can. It has never been a secret that the US does this to Israel because their chances of success are highest with them. Similarly, it has never been a secret that the reason Israel eventually truckles to every demand made by the Red, White and Blue is because of military aid and funding.
This brings us to Israeli announcement this week. Forget what Michael Oren said about friendship, and try and read the bigger picture that this statement depicts. It is the picture of Israel throwing America a bone, and a military-financial one at that.
Perhaps Bibi, by offering to bypass the protection Obama himself promised him, was delivering a subtle message to his new best buddy Barak that Israel is slowly moving away from American dependence. Following that logic, the less dependent Israel is on US protection and funding, the less culpable they are to America for their actions. Perhaps Bibi is sending the message that 'for now I will play along with your prisoner exchanges and unilateral withdrawals, but very soon we won't need you and we will do as we please'.
Perhaps, hope against hope, Bibi deserves the benefit of the doubt here that he is playing the long-game, waiting for Obama to self-destruct and then let Israel take the upper hand in the relationship, taking pressure that has been on the Jewish State since its inception off of it for the first time.
In this month of repentance and readjustment, perhaps Bibi deserves the benefit of the doubt that he too is taking this month to heart, and he too is seeking to repent for his actions of the past few weeks.
Or perhaps that theory is just a mad-dash of desperation in an attempt to make sense of some of the most disheartening Israeli actions in the past few years.

Icing on the cake – Liz's rant
May 19th, 2011 | Add a Comment
NOTE: As our beloved Kate is still taking care of a family emergency, I decided to re-run one of my favorite posts which features one of my go-to websites – the site I frequent whenever I need a good laugh. Oh sure. I could've given you a super simple recipe. But Kate is the queen of our recipes as you all know. So in her honor this week, we're gonna laugh about other people's bakery botches.
My brother and his wife are expecting baby no. 2 in the next few weeks, (OK – update. Baby Franklin is 3 1/2 months old, now) so needless to say, baby showers are in the air, as it were.
In fact, my sister-in-law's office gave her a shower just last week. As far as I know, there was only one problem with the shower: the cake said Welcome Baby, which is all well and good, but it was followed by the family's last name – which was spelled wrong. Or, let's just say, it had been spelled wrong at some point along the cake decorating way. Yep, you could see where at one point there'd been a capital r, which had been scraped off and replaced with a capital w.
I presume such errors would be a cake decorator's nightmare. Like the cake falling or the icing turning grainy. As nightmarish as these mistakes may be, though, apparently cake flubs are more prevalent than any of us would like to imagine.
My proof? Enter a great website: Cake Wrecks! This site is loaded with evidence that there are as many ways to screw up a cake as there are colors in the rainbow.
Oh sure, sometimes words are mis-spelled or phrases make no sense whatsoever.
Or there's this one – which is one of my favorites:
Congratulations and Happy… um…. WHAT?!?!
But that's not the only faux pas in the bakery. Sometimes the design itself is enough to make one cringe. For all you University of Kentucky fans, you no doubt know UK's mascot, the wildcat. He looks like this:
Unless, of course, the wrong person is put in charge of the design. In that case, your cake might look like this:
Can't see the resemblance, can ya?
Would that it were the worst of the cake fails. (OK, I'll admit it does rank up there with some of the worst…)
Among the other baking boo-boos are those designers who apparently take things way too seriously for their own good – following decorating directions to the tee – without pausing to think that some things are best left unsaid. I've told you people for quite some time that without incorporating a good dose of common sense, we're in deep doo-doo. Now, I offer proof:
Let's see. What have we just learned? Well, Peter has a nut allergy and Adam… well … poor Adam.
At this point, I know you're chomping at the bit to check out more cake fiascos.
Since you're heading over to Cake Wrecks anyway, might I suggest you start on this page.
Kinda makes you want to visit a bakery near you, doesn't it? Just be sure to take a camera…

John Jacob Lorenz Sentenced in U.S. District Cour
Bill Mercer, United States Attorney for the District of Montana, announced today that during a federal court session in Billings, on December 10, 2009, before Chief U.S. District Judge Richard F. Cebull, JOHN JACOB LORENZ, a 42-year-old resident of Fairview, appeared for sentencing. LORENZ was sentenced to a term of:
- Prison: 90 months
- Special Assessment: $100
- Supervised Release: 4 years
LORENZ was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
From 2005 to 2007, LORENZ was involved in a conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of methamphetamine, a Schedule II controlled substance.
During the course of the conspiracy, the amount of methamphetamine distributed and possessed with the intent to distribute by LORENZ exceeded 50 grams of a mixture of methamphetamine.
Because there is no parole in the federal system, the "truth in sentencing" guidelines mandate that LORENZ will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court. In the federal system, LORENZ does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for "good behavior." However, this reduction will not exceed 15% of the overall sentence.
The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Richland County Sheriff's Office, Sidney Police Department, the Montana Highway Patrol and the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation.

Madonna Bares Her Naked Behind for Hurricane Sandy Donations
Eating Lunch & Emptying a Reporter's Notebook:
Watch Madonna Fall Onstage During 'Like a Prayer'
Madonna had an onstage mishap at her Dallas show on Sunday, Oct. 21. Madge was interacting with the adoring crowd during the smash hit 'Like a Prayer,' kneeling before them while the fans sang louder than she did. When she crouched down to engage the crowd a second time, she lost her footing and fell over. Splat! She gives new meaning to the idea of stop, drop and roll in this giggle-inducing clip.

Lady Gaga Turns Down Madonna's Offer to Duet at Yankee Stadium
The rivalry between Lady Gaga and Madonna, which was started, stoked and supported by Madonna with her near-constant onstage disses of Gaga, nearly came to an end in the Bronx last month. Rumor has it that Madonna extended an olive branch and offered native New Yorker (and Yankee fan) Gaga a chance to duet onstage when Madge played Yankee Stadium. Gaga turned her down, though!

Madonna Calls Barack Obama a Muslim
Madonna once again voiced her endorsement of President Barack Obama onstage in Washington, D.C. Monday night -- but she threw in a comment that threw off not just her fans, but also the hyperactive election season press. No stranger to controversy (the woman courts it for a living), Madonna urged her supporters to support Obama because he's a black Muslim.
Here's the thing, though: Obama's not a Muslim.

7 Funds to Rebuild Your Nest Egg for 2012
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Baby boomers, many looking straight down the barrel of retirement, are trying to get their financial house in order after what has essentially been a lost decade in stocks.
One of the best ways to turn that around, at least for the average investor who feels whipsawed by stock-market volatility, is to buy mutual funds with great long-term track records and leave the driving to the professionals. The goal now is to get a decent return and also protect downside risks to preserve hard-won capital.
Investing in your 60s won't result in much of a return if you're just about to retire, but given the current economy, many Boomers are looking at least another half-decade or more of work, and with the right choices, they could be able to pad their retirement funds to live more comfortably in the so-called "golden years."But many dispirited investors have moved to the sidelines, when most should still be in the game, playing catch-up after watching their 401(k) shrivel. So we did some fund reviews relying on the research of fund tracker Morningstar and analysis and ratings firm S&P Capital IQ data to find out which have less-volatile returns with the likelihood of generating gains over the next five years. Some of these funds have steadily churned out returns of as much as 10% per year over the past decade, while the others have doubled the S&P 500's performance. They also have excellent Sharpe ratios and standard deviations, important measures in determining their relative stability in volatile markets, versus their peers. Here are seven funds that could help investors get healthy returns with a minimal amount of risk to their capital along with a few of their top individual holdings:

I don't know if this would work for the S4 spiders, but on my 78 MC rebuild and reinstallation I just bled the system from the output brake lines where they connect to the MC. On my car they are vertical and when they are disconnected only the MC dumps fluid of any consequence. I primed the MC with the tubes off once the MC was reinstalled on the booster by slowly pumping the brake pedal. A couple of catch cans and rags and extra brake fluid came in handy. I had someone press on the pedal slowly as I quickly reattached the brake lines. Once the lines were tight, I had my helper release the pedal. I then loosened one line at a time to bleed out any air and had my helper again press the brake pedal slowly. Once I was getting all fluid from the loose fitting I then tightened the line. I repeated this process per line. You will know you are getting it done right as the pedal regains its firmness. Its a messy process, but it works. I again stop on a dime.

Embraer Sells Two E190 Jets To Austral Lineas Aereas
SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, April 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer has signed a contract for the sale of two EMBRAER 190 jets to Austral Lineas Aereas, a company belonging to the Aerolineas Argentina Group. The Argentine airline currently operates 20 airplanes of this model.
"It is always rewarding to see a customer adding more E-Jets to their fleet. That is a clear demonstration of confidence in Embraer and of satisfaction with the product," said Paulo Cesar Silva, President and CEO of Embraer Commercial Aviation. "Austral is a great example of the variety of concepts for E-Jets application, using them to open new domestic and international routes and to modernize and increase the fleet's efficiency, as well as to adjust capacity to demand."
Like the aircraft that are already in operation, Austral's new E190s are the Advanced Range (AR) model, which allows the airline to fly on any route inside Argentina and to reach such important capital cities of Brazil as Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, nonstop. The jets are configured with 96 seats in a two-class layout—eight in executive and 88 in economy—with a modern onboard entertainment system equipped with individual monitors.
"Ever since we added the Embraer jets to our fleet, we have been able to offer distinctively different service, but we have also expanded our domestic presence, to which these two aircraft will be allocated," said Mariano Recalde, President of the Aerolineas Argentinas Group, which controls Austral Lineas Aereas. "Besides having latest-generation airplanes, which reduce operating costs, we would point out that we have received a great tool for fleet management from Embraer, through its Pool Program for replacement parts."Since 2004, Embraer has delivered more than 900 E-Jets. Currently, over 60 airlines in more than 40 countries operate this versatile family of four aircraft, from 70 to 120 seats. Embraer customers operate the E-Jets in a variety of business models, including network carriers, charter operators and low cost and regional airlines. E-Jets have been successful in assisting airline companies to adjust capacity to demand, to replace old and inefficient aircraft, and to develop new markets with lower costs, greater efficiency, and superior passenger appeal.

Black Scientists Less Likely to Receive NIH Research Grants
Federal officials call study findings unacceptable; pledge immediate action
THURSDAY, Aug. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Black researchers are 10 percentage points less likely than their white counterparts to receive research grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, according to a new study.
Declaring the findings are unacceptable, NIH officials pledged immediate action to correct the inequality.
The NIH-commissioned study of 40,069 individual applicants between 2000 and 2006 reported that Asian American or Hispanic researchers were just as likely as whites to receive the new research project grants.
But it found that blacks were less likely to receive the grants, regardless of education, training, citizenship, country of origin and prior research and publication history.
NIH officials were also disturbed by the small number of applications from non-white applicants. The study found that white applicants far outnumbered those of all other racial/ethnic groups: 28,456 whites (71 percent); 5,402 Asians (13.5 percent); 1,319 Hispanics (3.3 percent); 598 blacks (1.5 percent); and 11 percent were other/unknown.
"In order to improve the health outcomes of all Americans, it's important for the biomedical workforce to reflect the diversity of the population," lead author Donna Ginther, professor of economics at the University of Kansas, said in an NIH news release. "As the population becomes increasingly diverse, we will continue to get further from that goal unless the community intervenes."
The study is published in the current issue of the journal Science.
"The results of this study are disturbing and disheartening, and we are committed to taking action," NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins said in the news release.

Two Public Meetings Will Be Held Regarding Near Shore Reef Construction at Gulf State Park Pier
June 11, 2008
CONTACT: Marine Resources
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources' (ADCNR) Marine Resources Division will hold two public meetings to ask for input on the design and placement of concrete material from the demolition of the old Gulf State Park Pier around the new Gulf State Park Pier. The first meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on June 24, 2008, at the Gulf Shores Adult Activities Center, 260 Clubhouse Dr. in Gulf Shores. The second meeting will be held at the Foley Civic Center, 407 E. Laurel Ave. in Foley on June 26 at 6 p.m.
Public input from these meetings will be used to assist ADCNR in developing an artificial reef proposal for submission to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for approval.
Alabama has one of the largest artificial reef programs in the world. There are currently 23 inshore artificial reefs in Alabama providing some of the very best saltwater gamefish populations in the Gulf of Mexico. Visit www.outdooralabama.com for information on Alabama's artificial reef program.
Construction to rebuild the Gulf State Park Pier began in November 2007. The original pier, a popular recreational fishing spot, was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan in 2004. The new pier is expected to be completed in late 2008.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries. To learn more about ADCNR, visit www.outdooralabama.com.

Full Throttle In The Fastest Cars In The World With @DodgeNovember 3rd, 2014 by Christen Rochon
Last week, I got the chance to hang out heavy with the Dodge Brothers and 2015 vehicles in celebration of 100 years of automotive brand.

Diva Does NASCAR… A Toyota Racing Experience (#ToyotaWomen)October 16th, 2012 by Christen Rochon
There comes a time, when after trying something new you're rewarded with an uncontrollable surge of electricity and unexpected feeling of pride – and for me, this weekend's NASCAR experience was IT! It's no secret that I'm a fan of fast cars (I'm from the Motor City…duh!) however, being immersed in hundreds of technically-supercharged cars and learning about the business and community that makes NASCAR then multi-billion industry that it is. Over the weekend, I was an invited guest of the Toyota Racing Team to for a weekend of NASCAR fun during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in Charlotte, NC.
Kicking off this fast-paced Toyota Racing experience included fun in the sun at Joe Gibbs Racing Shop for a NASCAR fan fest! At Joe Gibbs Racing, fans got to interact with several of NASCAR driving superstars including Kyle Busch and Joey Logano – and we got to pick the brain of the man himself – Coach Joe Gibbs.During an intimate Q&A session, we were introduced to several unique members of the Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota Racing Team. Bryan 'Boris' Cook shared the highs and lows as a NASCAR Digital Marketing Manager, while Maggie Martin discussed the ins and outs of being a Sponsor Services Account Manager for Dollar General (the title sponsor behind Friday's Nationwide series race). Breaking one of the many myths of NASCAR (you know, the one that says African Americans aren't into NASCAR racing) – Toyota Racing's Darrell "Bubba" Wallace Jr. explained his start and love of racing. As the first African American driver to earn a pole in the NASCAR Nationwide Series – just two weeks ago, he has a lot to celebrate (in addition to is 19th birthday just last week.)
Upon arrival to the Charlotte Motor Speedway Friday night, luxury accommodations quickly followed as I was ushered to the Toyota Racing Suite to enjoy the Dollar General 300 / Nationwide Series Race and dinner in grand style.
As the start of the race begun, even from the comfort of the Toyota suite I heard the roaring of these monster engines as each car rounded lap by lap. By the time the drivers were 180 laps into the race, it was clear that a Toyota Racing driver could pull off the win! With just 5 laps to go, Toyota Women guests were escorted down toward the racetrack and inside the winner's circle to join the rest of the Toyota Racing team in celebration of the Toyota Racing WIN – front and center with none other than Joey Logano! We took photos with Joey and the team, I even got to ask M ZMAX about her racing jumpsuit (I've got a costume idea in mind…LOL) ALL in all, there's no other words that could describe my first NASCAR experience other than amazing, surprising and absolutely spectacular. Talk about a great day for a Diva To Do NASCAR for the first time.
Check out a few of the candids & official Toyota Racing / Toyota Women experience photos below…

Cadillac Is Bringing Something New To A Backseat Near You…October 10th, 2012 by Christen Rochon
If you've been following my misadventures in babysitting via Twitter or Instagram (#DivaDoesBabysitting) over the last few days, you've been sure to see me rolling in the New 2013 Cadillac XTS. From stylishly riding throughout the streets of my hometown to striving from the "Aunt of The Year" award transporting my nieces and nephews around in their "spaceship" – the Cadillac XTS has gotten it's fair share of points & stares.
Well, Cadillac is bringing a little something new to the backseat of it's kid-friendlier Cadillac SRX – in the form of Blu-ray entertainment. The new 2013 Cadillac SRX luxury vehicles will soon start rolling off the lots, they'll boasting something never seen before in an automobile – a Blu-ray player. The CUE in-vehicle entertainment system in Cadillac vehicles has been expanded in the SRX to include a Blu-ray player, but that's far from the only entertainment upgrade. In the backseat, there will be two 8" touchscreen displays that can be flipped up. They can also display different things – one passenger can play video games, while the other listens to music or watches a movie. There will only be one Blu-ray player, so if you're using that, two different movies can't be viewed simultaneously. A connector cable sold separately will allow passengers to connect their mobile devices to the displays and watch their own movies that way.
M0bile devices can be connected without the extra cable to play music, and each passenger has room to connect their own device – in fact, you can have up to 10 Bluetooth-enabled devices connected to the car at once. A simplified remote control to handle all of that content has been made simple enough that kids, who will undoubtedly be the main beneficiaries of these features, can use it easily. No more, "Are we there yet?" outbursts or sleepy kids in the backseat, you can now look forward to highly entertained kiddies – just hope you don't have to worry about them fighting over the remote…

Mission Impossible: SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience (Day 2)October 8th, 2012 by Christen Rochon
What happens when you stick a city girl deep in the canyons of Southern California on a camping trip? Well, when Toyota offers you a unique "glamping" experience in the heart of Southern California, you can expect an unforgettable experience of outdoor fun & camping memories, no matter what! (In case you missed it & you're wondering about what happened on Mission Impossible: SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience (Day 1) CLICK HERE.)
Glamping: Shorthand for glamorous camping; luxury camping.
As we began Day 2 of our #ToyotaWomen Experience, many of us had an idea of what a "glamping" experience would entail but had no clue or prior camping experience at the el Capitan Canyon Resort specifically. Luckily, that didn't even matter, because the el Capitan Canyon Resort absolutely did not disappoint.
From the outside, the log cabin decor gave the ambiance of lumberjack fun – however, the decor within each cabin was far from forrest-like. In fact, my luxe bathroom came complete with a bubblers dreamy 3ft deep bathtub bubble bath, huge vanity mirror and a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding campgrounds and forrest. During the day, the campgrounds were filled with hummingbirds floating around with glee, curious deer poking around from behind trees and knucklehead woodpeckers (one in particular was so intent on breaking through my bathroom window, that he may have suffered a self-inflicted concussion and knocked his self out cold…LOL)
In true "glamping" fashion, I decided on pairing a little extreme camping fun with some well needed relaxation. With a variety of options available, which included hiking, biking and more I decided on something a little out of the ordinary for this diva…
I took a paddle, a kayak and went for a dip in the Pacific Ocean…
… And I can't swim!
Talk about extreme! LOL! Lucky for me, the great guys at Santa Barbra Adventure Company were excellent teachers, guides and made me feel comfortable while kayaking up and down the Pacific coast! In between exhausting strokes, I spotted schools of fish, pelicans hunting for prey & even a few sea lions. During the kayaking excursion, I'm happy to say that I held my own while paddling up and down the 1 1/2 mile stretch of pure Pacific Ocean goodness.
To reward my body after the extreme "glamping" adventure, I had to chance to wind down with a relaxing 60-minute deep tissue spa massage, followed by a moment to relax at the pool and enjoy dinner and a bonfire at the el Capitan Canyon Resort. It's amazing, how a camping experience (no matter at what age) can teach a person so much about themselves and others. There's no way I would've ever considered kayaking in the Pacific Ocean or would've made such great friendships with amazing women from across the country, if it hadn't have been for Toyota and this SoCal #ToyotaWomen experience.
If introducing this Diva to a great automotive brand while broadening horizons with unforgettable experiences was the goal of the Toyota Women's Influencer Network program, then I'm proud to say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Mission Impossible: SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience (Day 1)October 2nd, 2012 by Christen Rochon
What happens when you wrangle a diverse group of bloggers from across the country for a unique Toyota drive? Things, stop getting polite and start getting real…
On Monday, a special group of bloggers were given a mission – a mission to prove how the 2012 Toyota Camry could stand up to an end-of-summer, all-girls road trip up the California coast. Lizz (AmIAFunnyGirl.com), Leila (DontSpeakWhinese.com), Chelsea (ThePaperMama.com) and I, set off on an adventure heading north on Highway 1 from Santa Monica to Santa Barbara, California. Not only did the Camry withstand four statuesque bloggers with big personalities within it's plush leather-trimmed, ultra-suede seats but it also engulfed the massive luggage trail of 4 suitcases, 5 backpacks, a pail and shovel within the spacious 15.4 cubic ft trunk. Camry is more luxurious,with a redesigned interior.It's more advanced,with new available multimedia systems with EntuneTM. And the Camry Hybrid LE now offers an EPA-estimated 43 city mpg rating – which means getting the most out of your gas no matter where your inner city road trips may lead you.
While on the road, we discovered a few oceanside sights as well as stopped by a local Super Mega Target to shop & purchase donations for the Santa Barbra Food Bank. Toyota partnered with Target to supply each of us with $25 gift cards to make the donation purchases, and Target accommodated each one of us with an additional $10 in credit towards the purchase of additional food/personal items to donate. Our #ToyotaWomen mission garnered close to $1,000 worth of donations for those in need in Santa Barbra at the Santa Barbra Food Bank.
Upon arrival to Santa Barbra, we had intimate vineyard tour, wine tasting & dinner at the Sanford Winery in Rancho La Rinconada. Renowned for its Chardonnay as well as Pinot Noir – Sanford Winery is a sacred jewell that has helped put Santa Barbara and the Santa Rita Hills on the map of the world's great wine regions.
Upon conclusion of dinner, we settled into a unique retreat of "Glamping" (Glam + Camping) at the el Capitan Canyon Resort just 20 miles north of Santa Barbara off the Pacific coast. Armed with the challenge of enjoying the glory of nature in a Southern California environment, we wondered if we could experience the natural beauty of the environment in a camp-like surrounding with all the luxury comforts of SoCal we have come to enjoy and expect?
That's a mission that only be answered after Day 2. See what happens next, after Day 1 of "Glamping" is complete & discover what challenges are in store for Day 2 of the SoCal #ToyotaWomen Experience….(To Be Continued…)

Hotel on Rivington
Lower East Side

Time Out rating:
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Posted: Mon Feb 22 2010
When the Hotel on Rivington opened in 2005, its ultra-modern, glass-covered façade was a novelty on the largely low-rise Lower East Side. Now, with condos popping up on nearly every block, the building (designed by NYC firm Grzywinski+Pons) seems less out of place, but it remains one of the few luxury hotels in the neighborhood. Rooms are super-sleek and minimalist, with black-and-white decorative touches, Frette bed linen and robes, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Manhattan and beyond (even in the shower stalls). A stylish crowd congregates in the hotel's two new restaurants, Coop Food & Drink, which serves sushi alongside modern American fare, and Viktor & Spoils, a contemporary taqueria and tequila bar. Rooms: 110.

Ian Stannard has allowed us to publish his TrainingPeaks SRM files from Paris-Roubaix and we've also featured his thoughts and reaction on what proved to be another gruelling day in the saddle:
Paris-Roubaix: Compiegne to Roubaix - 258km
1. Johan Van Summeren (BEL) - Garmin-Cervelo - 6h07m28s
2. Fabian Cancellara (SUI) - Leopard Trek - +17
3. Maarten Tjallingii (NED) - Rabobank - +17
36. Ian Stannard (GB) - Team Sky - +4:46
Ian Stannard's Race Stats:
250 avg watts
299 normalized power
345 Training Stress Score
158 avg heart rate
192 max heart rate
87 avg cadence
25.2 avg mph
Ian Stannard rode a great race in a support role for Team Sky. He was instrumental in making sure Juan Antonio Flecha and Mathew Hayman, who finished 9th and 10th respectively, made it up to the front group following the Arenberg Forest section of cobbles.
Here are Ian's comments following the race:
"My job for the day was to be near the front from the start along with Brad (Wiggins), Jez (Jeremy Hunt) and Kurt (Kurt-Asle Arvesen), and try to get in the breakaway with out using too much energy. Brad got in the first breakaway which came back just before the cobbles started. A small group went just before the first section and several riders tried to jump across in between sections, so I followed them.
"We then came to the section just before Arenberg and I tried to help Flecha move near the front because that sets you up well leading into the forest. After this we wanted to cover anyone trying to move off the front again and Mat (Mathew Hayman) got away which put us in a good position.
"From then on, I just tried to stay near the front to deter other attacks and follow if anyone did go. A bit later I crashed, chased back on, but that was my race pretty much done."
As we take a look at Ian's SRM power file within TrainingPeaks we can see how Paris-Roubaix starts out with a fast pace as teams try to position and place riders in the early breakaway.
This year's early break was slow to develop however as the pace was so high (27mph for the first two hours) that a break of eight didn't get away until about the 100km mark. Back behind the leaders the peloton gradually increased the intensity as the cobbles of the Arenberg Forest aproached.
This is an infamous section of cobbles which covers more than 2km and innevitably ends the race for many of the riders due to crashes and flat tyres.
Within Ian's the file you can easily see how his heart rate rose over the course of the two and a half hours leading up to the Arenberg Forest.
Not only does the intensity of the race pick up, but fatigue is also now starting to seriously set in as the Arenberg forest is right at 4hrs into the race. The top contenders know this is where the race really begins with about two more hours of racing are yet to be contested.
Following the Arenberg section, the main chase group slowly broke apart as Fabian Cancellara attacked on the last remaining cobble sections. Ian continued to ride strong in the hope of being near his two team leaders if they needed any further support.
In the end, Ian finsihed a respectable 36th place, just under five minutes behind the winner Johan Van Summeren of Garmin-Cervelo.

Macy's is facing more controversy, as two more women are claiming that they were racially profiled at stores in the city.
One incident involved Venezuelan tourist Maria Paez and her son, who were visiting Macy's on 34th Street this past September.
Paez says she was shopping when security pulled her aside and put her in a holding cell, and kept her from contacting her son or husband.
She says that staffers made her sign a theft confession and pay a fee.
She was later arrested.
"They just keep telling me, 'Sign, sign! If you don't sign, you will be here all this time until night,'" she said through an interpreter.
"You have no rights, and once you're in their control, they can hold you and get you to confess and pay a fee just if they want to," said Herb Subin, an attorney for racial profiling victims.
The other incident occurred last year when Maritza Hernandez was shopping at a Brooklyn Macy's.
Hernandez says that she was also dragged into a cell, eventually signing a confession and paying $200 for her release.
"I said, 'Yes, I'm going to sign, simply because I need to see my fosters, and you're not allowing me to see my fosters to be picked up in school," she said. "'So yes, I'm going to sign it just to walk out of this place.'"
A Macy's spokesperson declined to comment specifically about either case, but said that the company does not tolerate discrimination of any kind.
