Avenge Matt Stajan
Well, Staal will not be in the lineup. So who, Calgary Flames fan, should the Flames make a target? Hmm...who, oh who, on the Rangers could possibly satisfy the blood lust?
Brad Richards? He chose the Rangers over the Flames little marketing gimmick. Do you think rubbing his face into the boards a few times will make it up to Stajan? Probably not, it seems to be lacking some sizzle.
Should the team target former Flame and general winner-at-life Brandon Prust? Perish the thought, Dombeer-aholics. That boy has super models to get too. Also, we are pretty sure Prust could beat up every single player on the Flames roster, so...
Shit, we know who they should destroy physically in retribution for Staal destroying Stajan! Tim Erixon! You know, the kid Darryl drafted even though he was told he wasn't going to sign. The kid left not signed for at least a year after getting drafted, the kid who punked the Flames by orchestrating his own trade to the New York Rangers. You know that guy?
We wonder if Leblond knows Tim Erixon? We do hope Coach Sutter does everything in his power to get the two an introduction.
Otherwise, J Blow could always decide to do something to actually earn the 'A' on his chest and crush a Ranger, but that is probably as likely as an 'Occupy Wall Street' protester being able to give you a coherent economic policy prescription.
Flames need this win. Their next game is against the Preds in an afternoon tilt, so you can already chalk that 'L' up on the board. If the Flames lose this game, they are back into 'losing streak' mode (hey we have something in common with the team!), which would give them several losing streaks against no win streaks. Already, in like game six.
Bodog has the Flames favoured to win. The Rangers are in the midst of a seven game road trip that started off on in the old world. They have lost to every team they have played this year except the Canucks, who they just destroyed.
If you were betting the house, we'd probably bet the Rangers. Flames barely beat the Oilers last time out, and King Henry is just a tad bit better than Dubnyk. But because we have our coke debts paid in full and do not need to wager the house, we will put our meagre $20 on the Flames to win.
Might as well give this team a chance to prove itself, at least until game 20.
Furthermore, we think we can't demand a pink slip for Rob Kerr after we got the scalp of Loubardias. It would make us look miserably greedy. Touche, Mr. King. Touche.

cult time justifying the expense of optional engine equipment to reduce emissions if standard, lower-cost engine configurations already meet regulatory requirements. If low-emission engines cost more and provide no additional benefits other than low emissions, they make it harder to satisfy the consumer's desire for low fares.
Establishing appropriate financial incentives can be difficult, because government officials cannot easily predict the effects of proposed interventions, especially when they depart from the traditional regulatory approach. Possibilities include the following:
adjusting operational costs (such as landing fees, fuel taxes, or fees for air traffic control services) to provide financial incentives to improve system operational efficiency by shifting flights from peak hours and congested airports to off-peak hours and less congested airports (incentives would have to be passed on to consumers through changes in ticket prices to alter consumer behavior in a way that would allow airlines to compete effectively with an altered schedule)
adjusting landing fees according to the amount of emissions or noise produced by each aircraft
A few airports in Europe are already using the latter approach, but it would be more effective if implemented through international authorities to avoid a patchwork of unpredictable requirements with inconsistent goals. Also, financial incentives should be administered in a revenue-neutral way (i.e., higher fees for some aircraft operations should be offset by lower fees for other aircraft operations) to avoid using environmental concerns simply as a means to raise taxes.
Aviation policy should satisfy national environmental goals and the public's demand for aviation services. Government policies could be improved if decision makers had a more comprehensive understanding of the societal benefits and costs associated with air transportation, especially with regard to nonmarket factors such as congestion, noise, and emissions. This knowledge would aid in establishing policies (with regard to research, regulations, and financial incentives) that allow consumers, operators, and manufacturers to make individual decisions consistent with government interests in maximizing overall benefits and reducing overall costs.
Economic efficiency is already used both in the ICAO's Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection and in the FAA's own rulemaking process, which calls for cost-benefit analyses of proposals to issue new or amended regulations, expand airports, or modify airport operating restrictions. For example, Part 161.305 of the Federal Aviation Regulations requires that airport operators proposing aircraft operating restrictions provide evidence that "other available remedies are infeasible or would be less cost-effective" than the policy being proposed.
As discussed in Chapter 2, community resistance to noise begins somewhere between 55 and 65 dB DNL, with the higher level being the current definition for noise-affected populations applied by both the FAA and the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the lower level suggested by the EPA.
Existing research has investigated the economic consequences of noise exposure in communities empirically. Several studies have examined the impact of noise on property value, concluding that home prices drop about 0.6 percent per dB of DNL exposure (Schipper et al., 1998). Many of these studies are 20 years old, however, and need to be updated to determine if the tolerance for noise has changed.
In addition to property value, another measure of the cost of noise is the willingness of property owners to accept the noise in exchange for payment. Knowing what people would be willing to accept to be exposed to different levels of noise could form the basis for making periodic payments for noise easements (for example, in the form of reduced property taxes). The cost-effectiveness of such payments could be compared with other tools used to address community resistance to noise (i.e., airport operating restrictions, regulations, the purchase of property in noise-affected communities, zoning land for uses compatible with the level of noise, and NASA research and technology programs).
Although the acceptability of noise varies from place to place, the aircraft that produce the noise must be accepted everyplace they fly. In the United States, airport noise regulations are the sole province of the federal government. In accordance with Part 161 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, airports and state and local governments may impose new aircraft noise and access restrictions only after demonstrating to the FAA that less-costly alternatives are not available. Since this requirement was established in the early 1990s, no airport or state or local government has met the requirements of Part 161 to impose new restrictions. Noise exposure dropped dramatically during the 1990s in any case, because of the concurrent decision to lower noise standards and phase out older, noisier (Stage 2) aircraft that could not meet the new standards.
The Clean Air Act and FAA certification regulations (Federal Aviation Regulations, Part 34) regulate allowable levels of emissions. When an airport is located in a non-attainment area (i.e., an area that does not meet federally mandated air quality levels), airport expansions can be delayed until local air quality is in compliance. EPA standards are based on the health effects and, ultimately, the economic

The College Student's Job Hunt

Finding a job is probably uppermost in your mind (and your parents') especially if you're about to become a college graduate. Graduation time is nearing, and if you're not going on to grad school, a full time job is usually the next step. Ideally, the time to look for a job is before graduation, not afterwards. Checking in at your college's career center is one of the first places college students can go for guidance. This could be done even when just a freshman. Yet, there are ma ...

Damaged Diploma - What To Do?
Posted on 2/27/2008 1:00 AM By
Just the other day, we got another call from a customer who said his diploma has turned yellowish and has brown spots on it. This question arises occasionally, so here is a bit more about why it happens and what you can do about it. Typically, problems like yellowing and brown spots are caused by age and acidity. Sometimes, especially with older diplomas, the paper used to print the document may not have been acid-free. So over time, the acidic content creates yellowing and brittlen ...

Harman International Industries' CEO Presents At JPMorgan 2012 Auto Conference (Transcript)
Talked about GM, another thing which is very critical for the sustainable future success of any company and which we're very proud to mention that, we are very technology innovation driven company. I don't know any company close to what we are doing. In our pipeline, we added some 600 patents and patents filing during fiscal 2012.
In last five years, we have added more patents than an entire company's history. Actually our patents portfolio grew more than twice in last five years and during this five years, as you all know sitting in this room, we have experienced a lifetime's worst recession. But that did not deter us from investing in innovation technology. We also doubled our annual dividend from $0.30 to $0.60, and we also executed buyback during this last quarter.
Now, it's just a reminder, you've seen it many times, so I won't spend much time. We finished the year with $4.4 billion, last 12 months EBITDA close to 10% with 13,400 people, half of our employees now are in high-growth emerging markets.
This is just Q4 and full year financials, I won't spend too much time. You have the book, if you're not please pick it up on your way out. Good thing is we're growing in all areas and we are market leader in all three divisions, Infotainment, Lifestyle, that is car audio and home and multimedia, and in our professional audio business where we are clear market leader and generate double-digit operating margin year-over-year.This is again, we are very happy that we have now 11 consecutive quarters of top line growth of 18% CAGR and bottom line EBITDA has grown 245% during 11 quarters. This is clearly an effort we put in few years ago and are starting to pay-off. We took lot of cost out and we invested heavily in technology, and we invested heavily in organic growth that is our BRIC country footprint. we are big player in Hungary, big player in Mexico, big player in China, and big player in Brazil and India now.

Trust to Ensure Housing Projects
The government of Panama intends to create a trust fund fed by payments from buyers of construction sites, to be used as collateral against the project being abandoned or defects being discovered.
Friday, July 20, 2012
The Authority for Consumer Protection and Competition (Acodeco) is proposing a trust as part of a system that protects consumers in the event that the promoters of a construction project abandon it or fail to deliver the warranties after completed.

The Peabody is simply the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Our room had a split design with an entry way, restroom, vanity and desk area on one side and the bed and sitting area on the other side. This was also the cleanest room I've ever stayed in. The pool areas were great. There are several nice lounges and restaurants to chose from. And the duck march on the red carpet to the fountain was adorable. I hope to stay again at this luxurious resort.Review by: otz22

There are a lot of amenities at this hotel. The hotel is well appointed and clean. The staff was responsive and courteous. It is not far from area theme parks and from the airport. The hotel is a bit too large and there was a long line at check in. The food in the onsite diner was less than average.Review by: DM010312

We selected the Peabody because of the reviews on this site, and believe me, you will not be disapointed! This is by far the nicest hotel I have stayed at, and I've stayed at many good hotels, like Hiltons, Hyatts, and Sheratons, to name a few. The place is immaculate, beautiful, and huge! It has so many first class dining choices, and other amenities, including pools, shopping, etc. It even has a trolley that will take you to local shops, etc. for free. We went to Orlando to go to Disney World, and initially chose the Peabody just because we wanted a comfortable and nice hotel to stay at with really nice beds. (I have really bad back problems). However, we liked the hotel so much that we felt bad that we couldn't hang out there more because we went to Disney for 3 days and only stayed at the hotel for half of one day. We plan to go back because this isn't just a hotel, it's a resort where you can make a vacation out of just being pampered at the Peabody. It is a little pricey, but for a resort of this caliber, we felt that it is actually reasonable in comparison to some other hotels on this level. I thought it was well worth the money because this is a place you go to treat yourself and be pampered. Also, make sure to check out the Peabody Ducks. They're very cute!Review by: Boca Guy

the staff was friendly, room was clean and the price was right. We ate at the Capriccio,B liner and Napa restaurant at the Hotel but by far the Napa was the Best. Try the ravioli, yummy. The pool is supposed to be heated but it didn't feel like it when my son and I were in it. Maybe the temperature needed to be adjusted? We couldn't stay inside the pool longer than 10 minutes. The hotel was clean and modern.Review by: WorldTravelerUSA

We really enjoyed our stay at the Peabody. The hotel is beautiful, staff was very friendly & helpful with our questions. The pool area looks great, we didn't have a chance to utilize the pool as it was too cold (we are Floridians!) The hotel is only a few minutes away from Sea World. The room had a small refrigerator which was good for drinks & snacks. The only complaint I have about our room is that it didn't have a coffee maker.Review by: Laffy57

Outstanding service experience. While many reviews commented on the high prices, I found the value to be very reasonable given the quality of products and services provided.

Body Transformation: Focused On Fitness!
Vital Stats
Name: Lydia Michalitsianos
Email: email@example.com
BodySpace: epikhigh63
Why I decided to transform
I used to be a sedentary person who sat back and coasted through life. I was into design and went to college for it. At the time, I lived and breathed design and hoped to work in the music or fashion industry. Most of my friends and family were in better shape than me and I wasn't happy about it.
It became apparent that I was considered fat at an early age because I got made fun of at school. I was teased daily on bus rides to school and by random people who passed me in the hallway. I was embarrassed when class discussions focused on health and nutrition and thought everyone was relating the information to me. The feelings stuck with me through college.
After college, I knew something had to change, but I was scared to enter a gym. I thought people would wonder what I was doing or watch me operate the machines incorrectly. Then one day I decided enough was enough. I waited for people who said they would go to the gym with me, but never did, so I went alone and changed my life.
How I accomplished my goals
After Christmas 2008, I set a resolution to rebuild my life no matter what it took. It was now or never. I wasn't sure how I would do it, but I didn't want to feel the same a year from then.
I opened the doors at the Big Vanilla Athletic Club and hopped on a treadmill for the first time. I started slowly at a light jog and managed to increase my speed daily. I went back 4-5 days per week and transitioned onto the stationary bike and elliptical and pushed myself. As the scale dropped, I became motivated to keep going.
Eventually, I hit a plateau and was introduced to weightlifting by a personal trainer. I was too scared to hit the weight floor by myself with hardcore guys walking around, but I felt comfortable with a trainer. When I started weight training, I broke through my plateau.
My eating habits changed and I got satisfaction from the burn. I worked out harder on my own than with my trainer. I was driven to prove people wrong who hurt me and called me names. It gave me motivation and fire to work out harder. Now I pull from positive motivational sources like photos of my favorite athletes and motivational quotes and videos. All that matter is that I'm happy with myself.

What aspect challenged me the most
The most challenging aspect was diet. When you stop seeing progress and the diet needs to change, you must learn to alter your eating habits so your body keeps progressing.
My future fitness plans
I competed in two bodybuilding shows and am 10 weeks into my second competition season. After this, I plan to get my personal training certificate and start my own personal training business. I want to be recognized as a symbol of strength and inspiration to those with similar goals.
I'm starting a motivational speaking career about bullying and training the mind to improve your life.
Suggestions for aspiring transformers
Never forget what you're working toward and where you started. If you have questions, don't give up. Seek help and advice and you'll find it if you stay hungry.
How Bodybuilding.com helped me reach my goals

Thank you for the compliments! :D
"I waited for people who said they would go to the gym with me, but never did, so I went alone and changed my life."
First off, congratulations on the life change! It is very difficult to approach someone (unsolicited) that is overweight about fitness and not make it feel like your jumping on them. Like you felt in school with the "health and nutrition discussions". Who knows if the outcome would have been different if all your friends kept asking you to go to the gym with them... Could have been different. BUT... look at you now! You look great and are on a path to success, and not because of the weight loss, but the life changes! Good luck in the future, I wish the best for you!
Key is, to TAKE CONTROL! Move it or lose it right?! >:D
Awesome Transformation! You look great!
hahaha IKNOWRIGHT!? :D
NIce transformation. Cool to see, how you can change you life, if you stay motivated.
Killer taste in music. No wonder you made such incredible progress in the gym. Too bad the music can't do the same for nutritional motivation huh? Good luck on the business ventures.
Thanks! You too!
Hocico! **** I thought I was the only one who was fueled by them. Nice progress, nice pics and nice music!
Love the intensity in their music >:)
Thank you~!
"I was too scared to hit the weight floor by myself with hardcore guys walking around"
I think a lot of people (male and female) feel that way. Funny thing is, at least in my experience, most people would be glad to help out with few questions or spotting while they are between sets.
Newbies don't know that :3
In the middle of my transformation. I too was inviting and waiting for some friends to train with me before, until I realized getting fit will have to start off with a lonely path.
Great job with the transformation! You look much younger in your late 20's!
WOW awesome trasformation!!! U look like another person =)
wow! lots of protein! good job girl. keep up the dedication!
Awesome change! Couldn't believe the "Gym Tracks" when I read them! :)
Great job!! you looking hot! Hope you do well in your shows
WOW your transformation is incredible. I'm intending on following your gym routine to tone myself up and hopefully get leaner.
Good luck with becoming a personal trainer!!
I loved your description of your first time at the gym as it was a lot like mine. So intimidated by all the people that looked like they knew what they were doing and probably didn't. The first time I set foot in the fitness center I didn't even know how to turn on the running machines. I had to ask someone for help. Very inspiring story!

Noah Education Holdings' CEO Discusses F3Q2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I would now like to turn the conference over to Noah's Chairman and CEO, Mr. Dong Xu. Mr. Xu, please go ahead.
Dong Xu
(Foreign Language)
Thank you for joining us today on our third quarter fiscal year 2012 earnings conference call. I hope you've all had a chance to read our earnings press release.
(Foreign Language)
I am very pleased to report that we have delivered another strong quarter, with revenue growing at 61% and exceeding the top end of our guidance by 16%. This is particularly encouraging, considering that the third quarter is traditionally (inaudible), due to the presence of the Winter break. And we were only able to rectify two months revenue.(Foreign Language)
(Interpreted) The robust topline growth was given by our Kindergarten operation, the largest contributor of all of our businesses. The year-over-year growth of 220%, by organic and (inaudible) from Yuanbo. This impressive increase is a testimony to our growth strategy. Kindergarten is a vital entry point for student's lifelong education and will also form the entry base of our lifelong education model, which will pave the way for broader (inaudible) offerings in the future. Kindergarten is the core of our three focus areas and will continue to be a key growth driver down the line.
(Foreign Language)
(Interpreted) Well, we will further (inaudible) through our financial outcome, but I'd like to highlight that in this quarter, we were able to improve our growth margin to our guided level, while continuing to invest to ramp up our schools in Kindergarten. This improvement is mainly strength to the progress made by the Kindergarten operations. (Foreign Language)
Looking ahead, we are confident that we will see another strong performance in the fourth quarter in terms of revenue growth. And this will lead us to achieve our full year guidance of 56 to 76% increase in revenue. Meanwhile, we'll continue to strike a sound balance between approved profitability and sustain reinvestment for growth. Through a continuous ramping up with the best new schools in Kindergarten, we aim to achieve higher utilization rate and operating efficiency in the next academic year.--

Gear Review
it works
Rider Bruce
Member since
I use my bag for motorcycle/car touring. At a BMW motorcycle rally this year it worked great - warm in temps down into the 50s, packs small and feels better than nylon. Only complaint is I find it a little snug around the shoulders, a very minor niggle, I'd definitely recommend it for warm weather!

Another Anderson/Geraldo Comparison
In a Sunday LAT Magazine piece tited 'I' on America, Dan Neil says Anderson Cooper "is the foremost practitioner of the Stanislavsky school of newscasting, in which the degree of human tragedy is registered in escalating degrees of emotionalism. Actually, Anderson is the best of the lot. The worst? Anybody? That's right: Geraldo."
At the end, Neil reminds Cooper that "I don't need you to show me that you care. I need you to tell me what you know…"

DDB Canada Appoints Cosmo Campbell as CCO
David Leonard, national president and chief operating officer of DDB Canada announced today that the agency has appointed 17-year DDB veteran Cosmo Campbell as its new chief creative officer. Campbell replaces Kevin Drew Davis, who is transferring to DDB Chicago to serve as senior vice president, executive creative director on the McDonald's US business.
Campbell previously served as executive creative director of DDB Canada Vancouver, where his work has been recognized with numerous national and international awards. Dean Lee, who has served as executive creative director alongside Campbell at DDB Canada Vancouver, will now take over on a solo basis. In his new role as DDB Canada's chief creative officer, Campbell will be responsible for overseeing the agency's creative production and "serve as a key architect on new business strategy."

Phoenix Suns
Suns sign Michael Redd
The Phoenix Suns made it official on Thursday, inking former All-Star guard Michael Redd to a contract.
Redd, 32, is an 11-year NBA veteran who has spent his entire career with the Milwaukee Bucks. Redd's career scoring average is 20.0, and averaged a career-high 26.7 points per game in 2006-07.
"Michael Redd has a proven pedigree as a first-rate NBA scorer," said Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby. "He will work with our renowned training staff to get into basketball shape. When he is ready to play, Michael will be a welcome addition to our team."
The Ohio State product has also had a long history with knee injuries. In fact, he's torn both the ACL and MCL in his left knee twice.
He's played in just 61 games in the last three seasons while dealing with his knee injuries.
In 2008, Redd represented the United States at the Summer Olympics in Beijing, averaging 3.0 per game off the bench for the gold medal-winning squad.
The Suns are hoping that Redd, a feared outside shooter, can help a struggling offense that has averaged just 84 points per game in their first two games of the season.

The New Ulm City Council on Tuesday approved an ordinance dealing with the penalties for liquor license violations. The city has a 2-tiered penalty system for businesses selling alcohol that do or do not participate in the "Best Practices" program, which involves training on how to spot a fake ID and other issues. It was the penalty grid that was amended Tuesday, with the financial penalty for most of the fines increasing by $250. In other business Tuesday, the New Ulm City Council approved a $26,000 agreement with Bolton and Menk Engineering to design an improved water access site at Minnecon Park. The project will include a paved access road and parking lot, a new boat ramp into deeper water, shore fishing sites, and more. The full design and construction costs will be reimbursed by the DNR. The council also agreed to meet with School District 88 staff in the near future to discuss community support and school program opportunities.

Chocolate, almonds, and cocoa powder sound like the makings of a decadent treat. And also a pedicure. Oh, yes: the hot chocolate pedicure is here. Maria Bonita Salon, located in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, is offering an indulgent hot chocolate pedi. First, you soak your tootsies in cocoa, almond oils, and Dead Sea salts. Next your dead skin is sloughed off with a chocolate and almond exfoliating scrub. Then your feet are massaged with a combination of chocolate, almond oil, and vitamin E, topped off with a hot chocolate paraffin infusion. Unlike the hot chocolate at your local coffee shop which shouldn't cost more than $3, the hot chocolate pedicure will set you back a whopping $40. While it's decadent to be sure, it sounds like a misuse of perfectly good hot cocoa to me. [Maria Bonita Salon] [Image of hot chocolate via Shutterstock]

text: Home > Parenting > Pregnancy > News 22 March 2012 Preemies can lag in language skills later on Kids who were born prematurely may lag behind their peers when it comes to more-advanced language skills, a new research review finds. 0 TALK Parenting forum » ASK The Paediatrician » Follow Health24 on Facebook » Quiz Are you ready for a baby? » How a woman's body changes during pregnancy Foetal development Kids who were born prematurely may lag behind their peers when it comes to more-advanced language skills, a new research review finds. In an analysis of 17 past studies, researchers found that in general, preterm babies tend to have more difficulty with complex language skills as they grow older – at least up to age 12. The findings, reported in the journal Paediatrics, do not mean that premature babies are doomed to long-term language problems. But, researchers say, these kids may have a tougher time than their peers do later on in school, when they start to face trickier language concepts – like reading or writing complex sentence structures. "This study confirms what is observed in the real-life clinical setting: preterm children are at higher risk of language problems, and as the language task becomes more demanding, the proportion of children with significant impairment also increases," said Dr Thuy Mai Luu, a paediatrician at CHU Sainte-Justine and the University of Montreal in Canada. Normal language skills at age 12 Luu was not involved in the current study, but researches preterm infants' development. In some cases, Luu said in an email, preterm kids may have normal language skills at the age of two, when the demands are low. "However, a few years later, when language functions required to succeed in school are more complex, this is the time when problems may appear and limit the child in scholastic or social activities," she explained. That's the pattern that the new study found. In early childhood, there were smaller differences between preterm and full-term kids as far as simple language abilities, like basic vocabulary. Gap widens in complex language skills But between the ages of three and 12, the gap tended to widen when it came to complex language skills. The findings come from what's called a meta-analysis, where researchers combine data from small studies to get bigger numbers and, hopefully, a more reliable result. Inge L. van Noort-van der Spek and her colleagues at Erasmus Medical Centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, found 17 studies involving a total of 1,529 children born prematurely (before the 37th week of pregnancy) and 945 kids born full-term. In general, there was a reliable difference between preemies and full-term kids in terms of simple and more complex language skills. Preterm kids catch up That does not mean that all kids born early will have significant language problems in school, however. Nor did the analysis separate extremely preterm kids from those born closer to their due date. But in general, it's known that the earlier a child is born, the greater the risk of developmental delays, Luu noted. In her own research, she has found that preterm kids tend to "catch up" to their peers as far as basic language. And, she said, brain imaging research suggests that preemies can develop "compensatory" nerve connections related to simple language skills. It's possible, Luu noted, that for complex language tasks, there is a limit to the brain's ability to compensate. Screen preterm kids before they enter school "The take-home message is to remain vigilant (about) language difficulties in the clinical setting," Luu said. Even when preterm babies have normal language ability around the age of 18 to 24 months, she said, paediatricians should do a thorough screening for language problems before kids enter school. In the "real world," it's not common for kids to have any further screening after they start school, according to Luu. But around second or third grade, when schoolwork becomes more complex, parents may start noticing their kids are having a tougher time.

The Hamilton beach 58148 is a great deal, it crashes everything and makes a very good shakes. The engine is very strong, and not that noisy in comparison to other blenders we had before. VERY recommended!
This product was billed as having the ability to "crush" ice. Even with it's more powerful motor this product does not adequately crush ice. It does no better nor worse in the other button functions. The glass carafe is heavy and somewhat cumbersome for repeated uses. It will perform the functions of any good blender, but it is definitely not a "power" blender.
It makes very good frozen margaritas and baby food. I have use it a few times and it does the work. No leaks or anything like it so far. We will see.
For the price it is a great product....not for juicing etc, but for blending and other light uses perfect
When making a smoothie, it did not crush ice woithout my frequently opening and pushing down the ice. Same with pesto. To blend I needed to open/push down the ingredients down numerous times. In addition some garlic pieces and nuts fell to the bottom and were difficult to remove when washing the blender.
I use it every morning to make smoothies and love it!

The 911 Targa 4 models offer advanced airbag technology in the form of full-size driver and front passenger airbags, which are inflated in two stages depending on the severity and type of accident (e. g. frontal or offset frontal). In less serious accidents, the airbags are only partially inflated, thereby minimizing discomfort to the occupants.
In addition to the central airbag control unit on the transmission tunnel, a pair of impact sensors are located near the headlights. This allows a crash to be detected and evaluated far sooner and with considerably greater accuracy.

Despite Weather and No Armstrong, Amgen Marches On
Excitement was in the air in downtown Sacramento; all for the finish of Stage Two of the Amgen Tour of California.
Fans like Teresa Moraga of Sacramento wouldn't be anywhere else. She loves cycling, "I'll never know what it's like to throw a football or a baseball, but I can ride my bike."
While fans were out in force, that force wasn't nearly as strong as years past. Sacramento Police estimate about 50-60,000 people showed up to watch the finish of Stage Two. The attendance is more than the 2007, 2008 numbers which when the Sacramento stage fell on a week day, but it's a lot less than last year.
The reason for the lower turn out is hard to pin-point. The weather played a role, not only cancelling Stage One of the Tour, but also shortening the length of Stage Two. It was supposed to start from Squaw Valley, but was moved to Nevada City.
Others speculate the lower turn out may have to do with a lack of star-power, since Lance Armstrong isn't in this year's Tour. However, true cycling fans disagree. "Lance-who?" joked Moraga.
Even though the crowds were slightly thinner, the vendors like Brian Dallas with Focus Bikes said they're still busy. "The crowds are amazing," he said.
One vendor that saw a lot of foot and tire traffic was the Radio Shack tent, which is affiliated with Team Radio Shack. Representative Trey Reeder doesn't think the weather and not having Armstrong this year will hurt the tour. "Cyclists get behind (Amgen), rain or shine they're going to come out."
This year, the Tour runs from May 15-22. It's estimated that the Tour and related activities have had an economic impact of more than $100 million on the participating host cities throughout the course of the race.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Lawyers for fired Idaho Transportation Director Pam Lowe are pushing for a decision in her favor on most of her key claims without even holding further hearings - based on a long string of cases they've identified that back Lowe's argument that she wasn't an "at-will" employee, as the state contends in defending her firing. Among documents filed in the federal court case Monday was the official "Statement of Purpose" for the 1974 law that created the transportation director's post. It states that the director "shall serve at the pleasure of the board and may be removed by the board only for stated cause."
The law itself says, "The director shall serve at the pleasure of the board and may be removed by the board for inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance or nonfeasance in office." The state contends that those reasons are just examples, and the important part is "at the pleasure." But in a motion for partial judgment filed Monday, Lowe's attorneys say the history shows otherwise. "This statement of purpose … could not be a clearer indication of the legislature's intent to limit the board's discretion in removing the director only for good cause," the lawyers argued in court documents. You can read my full story here at spokesman.com; and you can read Lowe's motion here and the supporting memorandum here.
