Yay! I've finally finished my first vintage sewing project – Simplicity 4255, from 1953, in green poly-cotton lawn. It took me about three million years but I got there in the end, only to be told by my loving boyfriend that I looked like "an alien queen … in a good way". More pics and an outline of the labour involved on my blog :)

The time between the bowl games and spring practice usually calls for some movement on team rosters. That hasn't been the case much for Alabama and head coach Nick Saban as spring practice begins next week.
So far there's been no word on who will fill certain positions – particularly the quarterback.
Mobile-native, Jacob cooker will transfer in this summer after he finishes his degree at Florida State University; so Coker will not be at Bama's spring practice.
Saban met with the media Thursday and says he looking forward to being back on the field.
"Oh I'm really excited about the spring, we've got a new team and the new challenges, whether they're character development, attitude development, team chemistry, getting the right guys in the right spots, seeing the young players developed – that's the real fun of it and I really do enjoy spring practice because it's all about teaching and I think that's something that we're really looking forward to," said Saban.

7 Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves Higher
Microvision (MVIS) develops high-resolution miniature laser display and imaging engines based upon its PicoP display engine technology. This stock is trading up 18% at $1.89 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $1.60-$1.9552-Week Range: $1.11-$11.04 Volume: 1.2 million Three-Month Average Volume: 750,506 From a technical perspective, MVIS is registering a monster rip right off some recent support at $1.56 with above average volume. This move is quickly pushing MVIS within range of taking out its 50-day moving average of $2. Traders should now look for long-biased trades as long as MVIS is trending above its 50-day with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 750,506 shares as bullish. If we get that action soon, then MVIS could easily soar back towards $2.75 and possibly even its 200-day moving average of $3.40. Keep in mind that those bullish targets can only get hit if MVIS maintains a high-volume trend above its 50-day.

Hammerheads under Siege: Human Pressure Threatening an Iconic Species
Sharks have existed for roughly 450 million years—even before the dinosaurs. But, the very adaptations that have allowed sharks to survive for so many millions of years may now be working against them in the face of a relatively new threat: fishing. Under modern fishing pressure, are certain sharks "evolved for extinction"?

Rock-bottom Hurricanes face another tough Super Rugby assignment when they host the Cheetahs in Wellington on Saturday.
Even though the competition is still in its early stages, Hurricanes boss Mark Hammett is already feeling the heat as his side is the only one yet to register a victory.
The Hurricanes are currently on an eight-match losing streak, stretching back to last season. Their 2014 campaign kicked off with away losses against the Sharks and Stormers and they came up short again with another below par performance in their home defeat to the Brumbies last weekend.
Hammett is demanding a much improved performance from his charges this weekend, saying: "I said to the group that I don't give a stuff about how you prepare if we have another performance like that.
"This is a chance to remedy that, but there are 15 guys in a Cheetahs jersey who will be doing everything they can to stop that, so it doesn't matter how passionate or angry you get, you still have to get your core skills right."
Apart from their poor start, the Hurricanes also have extra motivation to do well as their captain Conrad Smith is playing his 100th Super Rugby match for the franchise.
Hammett has brought highly-rated openside flanker Ardie Savea into his starting line-up for the first time this season.
Hurricanes know they have the ability claim victory - they secured a 39-34 win over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein last year.
Fancy chances
But the Cheetahs will fancy their chances of adding to the home side's woes as their last visit to Wellington, in 2012, saw them produce a memorable 47-38 victory - their first triumph on New Zealand soil.
Seven members of the Cheetahs' squad on that occasion will be in action again this weekend - Willie le Roux, Johan Goosen, Philip van der Walt, Adriaan Strauss, Trevor Nyakane, Andries Ferreira and Hennie Daniller.
Last weekend, the Cheetahs were unlucky to leave Brisbane empty-handed after they went down in a high-scoring encounter to the Reds. The Reds beat the Bloemfontein-based side 43-33 and the visitors were cruelly denied a bonus-point when Quade Cooper slotted a penalty in injury time.
After that defeat - their third in four matches - Cheetahs coach Naka Drotske has made some changes to his run-on side
Sarel Pretorius has replaced Shaun Venter at no. 9, with Venter moving to the bench. Raymond Rhule has returned to left wing after an ankle injury side-lined him last week and Cornal Hendriks is back on right wing, while Le Roux returns to fullback. Ferreira and Daniller will be on the bench
Hurricanes: 15 Marshall, 14 Leiua, 13 Smith, 12 Parkes, 11 Savea, 10 Barrett, 9 Smylie, 1 Franks, 2 Coles, 3 Toomaga-Allen, 4 Thrush, 5 Reddish, 6 Levave, 7 Savea, 8 Thomson.
Replacements: 16 Matu'u, 17 Eves, 18 Schwalger, 19 Broadhurst, 20 Lam, 21 Perenara, 22 Proctor, 23 Banks.
Cheetahs: 15 Le Roux, 14 Hendricks, 13 Sadie, 12 Venter, 11 Rhule, 10 Goosen, 9 Pretorius, 1 Oosthuizen, 2 Strauss, 3 Van Dyk, 4 De Jager, 5 Uys, 6 Prinsloo, 7 Labuschagne, 8 Van der Walt.
Replacements: 16 Barnes, 17 Nyakane, 18 De Klerk, 19 Ferreira, 20 Cook, 21 Venter, 22 Watts, 23 Daniller.

I change my own oil.
On one hand it's a tedious chore. On the other it's a moment of zen.
It's absolutely dirt simple. Get the ramps out. Drive the car up on them. Get the tools out. Crawl under the car with the drain pan. Take out the drain plug and drop the filter. Crawl out from underneath. Get the new filter ready. Crawl back under. Replace the drain plug. Install the new filter. Crawl out from under, bringing the tools and pan. Pop the hood. Put in the proper amount of the correct oil. Check the oil level. Close the hood. Drive down off the ramps. Put the ramps away. Sweep and clean up. Put car away.
Do you know how many people cannot do that even if provided with tools?
Do you know how many people can do that, but don't own the tools?
This is something everyone should know how to do and have the tools to do it. Even if you take it to Jiffy Lube, you should be able to do it on your own.

On October 22, the city issued a letter to Tom Martino asking that he "submit a remedial plan for the purpose of rehabilitating the cited property." Failure to comply could result in fines of up to $999 per day or an injunction for the city to take possession of the property.
Henderson doesn't think it will come to that. "We recognize that there's a problem," he says. "That's why we sat down with the city and police department to try to come up with some sort of solution." Martino wasn't there because he's a hands-off investor, according to Henderson. "We have an operating agreement where I'm actually in charge of taking care of the entitlements and the details," he says. "He understood what we were doing. He understands the end result, and I guess he doesn't really need to know the details of how entitlement works."
Martino's radio producer, Mike Bassett, replied to e-mails sent to Troubleshooter.com, confirming that Martino is one of a group of investors involved with the project. "Yeah, it was bought as an investment. Some of it they planned to develop and others they might sell," he says. Martino did not respond to Westword's calls and e-mails.
After the meeting, the ownership group signed a "no trespassing order," which will allow the police to roust anyone found on the properties. But although efforts have been made to board up the garage behind the bungalow, it is still accessible through a broken door. This past weekend, the floor was littered with lighter-burned soda cans and syringes, evidence of recent drug-use activity; the yard around it was dotted with human feces. The owners are currently looking for a contractor to demolish the bungalow and garage, Henderson says.
As for the rowhouses, the owners are considering whether they should be fenced, remodeled — or demolished altogether. In the meantime, they've taken down the porch railings so that the homeless can't use them to create temporary walls. But this hasn't discouraged people from coming back to the porches. Though their place is now exposed to the street, Shantrell and A.K. aren't willing to give up their spot just yet.
Mark Herlinger, whose kids attend Ebert Elementary, is head of the school's safety committee. A couple of weeks ago, the school's principal told him that transients had been spotted living in one of the garages on the properties. "Even if there's just one kid, one incident occurred, that would be one too many," he says. On October 20, Herlinger called the Denver police to complain. He learned that there'd been a meeting to discuss the situation a few days before. He hadn't known that Martino was involved with the properties.
"I'm actually kind of a fan of his, really," says Herlinger. "Who can't be, especially if you're somebody he's helped out? Being a junior-league real-estate investor myself, I certainly admire someone who seems to have done well with it. But I don't know any of the details of what he owns around town or his reputation on that level. I just know what he talks about on the radio. I try to learn from him. If he's giving out advice, my ears prick up."

Marijuana Industry To Reach $9B/Year Valuation By 2017, Rivaling Beer & Wine
WOODLAND HILLS, Calif., Dec. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GrowLife Inc. (OTCBB: PHOT) is a dedicated company focused on providing the blossoming marijuana industry with the highest quality growing products available, while still complying with all federal and state laws.
GrowLife is proud to announce its endorsement of a recent article drawing correlations between the exploding $1.7B/year marijuana industry, and the beer and wine industries. Amid ongoing legalization efforts, a report from financial news firm 'See Change Strategy' predicts the marijuana market could reach $9B/year by 2017, a 429% growth in the industry.
Of all the publicly traded companies looking to capitalize on the 'green rush,' GrowLife has been able to position themselves as the industry leader when it comes to affordable, high end indoor/outdoor gardening equipment for hobbyist and commercial growers alike.
There are many who feel that the size of the marijuana market has the potential to rival that of the beer and wine industry. It is estimated that 100 million Americans have tried marijuana in their lives, with 28 million having used marijuana in the last 12 months. Compare that to a Gallup poll from this spring that states a full 34% of Americans never drink alcohol, and an additional 52% are considered to be 'occasion' drinkers where they only drink when in social settings.Read the full Long Beach Business Journal article at the following link: http://www.lbbusinessjournal.com/long-beach-business-journal-newswatch/173-12-11-20/1085-the-business-of-medical-marijuana.html Key highlights in the article included:
- Cliff Schaffer, editor of MarijuanaBusinessNews.com, indicated his belief that the marijuana industry has the potential to rival the size of the beer and wine industry, with municipalities benefiting from tax revenues in much the same way
- Tripp Keber, managing director of Dixie Elixirs and Edibles LLC, which produces 65 marijuana-infused products in Denver, CO, added that "Big Alcohol, Big Tobacco and Big Pharma clearly are watching" these industry trends.
- Predicts that the market could reach nearly $9 billion in the U.S. over the next five years, as some states are likely to legalize marijuana for medical purposes and others likely to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes.
- California spends an estimated $2 billion each year enforcing prohibition, according to Jeffrey Miron, director of undergraduate studies at Harvard University, and the resources needed for these efforts are rising each year.

"This was so good and so easy! I used about 1/4 cup of sausage, just to get rid of it. The white wine makes the sauce, don't leave it out! Great recipe, sure to make again =)"
"Truly enjoyed these! So simple and very tasty... I love anything with cream cheese & these were the best! I've made these a few times and they are always a big hit!"
"Fantastic! I will be using this recipe over and over again, it was great! The only extra thing I did was chop onion and put in slow cooker for about 2 hours, then I added the brisket and cooked on low all day. I also added garlic to the brisket, just because we love garlic. It was awesome! Thanks for adding it!"
"We loved this! Very cozy on a chilly day. Served with egg noodles like a grown up's chicken noodle soup. The sauce is great and next time I'd like to add broccoli and maybe some Parmesan cheese. We'll be making this again, it's so easy and delicious!"
"We didn't have any peach schnapps, but the punch was still wonderful! Doubled the recipe and it was a big hit at our party. Will be using this one again soon!"
"I'll be making these again again! Better than our family sausage ball recipe at Christmas. I can't wait to try different filling. Excellent snack!"
"Very good and easy to make! We had some leftovers, so I used tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese on top. It was like a mini-chicken parm and tasted great! Delicious either way, big hit!"
"These were fantastic! Very moist and tasted great. I baked them a little longer because I thought they were not done, but I'm sure they were. I kept waiting for them to brown a little more and then took them out just in time. Next time I will follow the 10-12 minute mark! Thanks!"
"This was great! I used frozen broccoli and covered the skillet, which worked nicely. I also added some garlic (2 cloves) with the onion. My hubby really enjoyed this reheated, as the sauce seemed to be more flavorful after it had sat awhile. Will make this again, YUM! Simple to make and very good"
"The sauce is simple and wonderful! Everyone loved the flavor and we're thinking of trying it with chicken on the grill. Great for breaking fast on Yom Kippur. Thanks!"

"Tim Curry did a much much better job"
Okay, Lemony Snicket did a great job writing this series of books, but the narration stuff isn't the same story. His tone is way too flat(except the dramatization part). Tim Curry in the first episode did a fantastic job. Snicket should stick to writing, the narration is far from perfect.

Chapstick • (All Flavors) • Lips

Chapstick is actually a decent product for the money paid, especially compared to Burt Bees or some of the other highfalutin lip balms. I like the original (one that has camphor scent) and the peppermint flavors. I do not think it nourishes the lips in any way, but it does add a layer of protection from the cold and wind.
I am just wary of the oxybenzene (?) or similar 'controversial' ingredients in this balm.
One nice use I found, is to melt the lip balm on very low heat and add rose and vanilla essential oils. Voila! We have a low-cost rose salve ready! It smells sweet and feels good on the lips too. I use a mix of rose, lavender and vanilla (rose being higher percentage). Smells delicious. One could also add a little olive oil or apricot kernel oil, to make the balm thinner.
Of course, I also have the original camphor scented balm handy!

I found that I can't use the ones with red dye in them as they strangely irritate my lips, and most of the other flavors seem to be a lot thinner and don't moisturize. I'm addicted to the Vanilla Mint & Cake Batter flavors (I'm not even one of those people who go gaga over anything Cake Batter). I highly recommend those to anyone in need of every day lip care.

I gotta admit, I'm actually disappointed. I used to love this lip balm. But I tried it again quite a while ago, and it was horrible. It was awfully thin on my lips and it didn't absorb into my lips to make it soft or smooth. It was just like plastic film sitting on my lips. So then, I tried it overnight also. When I woke up, my lips were all wrinkly and small, like it was pruned! Ugh, it just wasn't right. The only good thing about this chapstick is the price and availability.

ChapStick is the greatest. They recently changed the formula and took out the SPF in their classic formulas much to my delight. When I want SPF, I want one greater than four, and I don't want any SPF if I'm going out at night or just staying indoors. Classic ChapSticks take me back to my childhood in the 1970s. I've tried lots of different lip balms as probably everybody has but have recently come back to ChapStick. I love how ChapStick is waxy. I love how ChapStick sits on top of your lips. ChapStick works! My lips do not chap. ChapStick works great under lipstick. I love the Classic Original especially. I don't want a lip balm that tastes of fruit or flowers all the time--certainly not when I'm eating vegetable soup, for example. I also love that ChapStick is a stick. I find dipping my finger in a jar of balm or ointment to be a little gross, and squeeze tubes sometimes split. I'll just stick to ChapStick. My lips are smooth, not chapped. I love to use ChapStick before I brush my teeth, as well. My lips have a beautiful sheen to them and feel protected. ChapStick is all I need!

Age: 36-43 Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Warm Hair: Brunette Eyes: Green
I have had terrible problem with chapped, peeling and cracked lips all my life. I think I finally got it solved. I use the regular (black tube) chapstick as SEALANT. It goes on before I shower, before I wash my face or brush my teeth. I also use it under my lip colors.
So basically, I have found that too much water on my lips dries them out. So using this as a sealer has been very helpful. I wouldn't say that it's a good moisturizer but it will keep moisturizer in and so whatever you're using as a lip moisturizer, whether that be Aquaphor, or some oil or even eye cream, use this after and then go to bed. Things should begin to improve within a few days. I no longer have a crack in the middle of my lips that opens and bleeds when I smile and I also no longer have as much peeling. I buy it in the three tube package and put one near the bed, one at my desk at work, one in the bathroom. One also in my purse along with whatever lip balm I'm using. This product is not a moisturizer, it's a sealant. It goes over lip balm.

I use just the regular Chapstick (the black one). I actually feel like the colored/flavored ones don't work as well as that one.
That black Chapstick, however, is my HG product to put on my lips. My mom used it for years and then got me into it when my lips started getting chapped. I've tried other lip products throughout the years but I always come back to this. It's so moisturizing and keeps my lips feeling smooth throughout the day. It's a necessity to have in my bag, I absolutely cannot leave the house without it and I will continue to buy it since it's so affordable and has amazing quality.

I used to use the EOS stuff and all it did was smooth my lips for a short period of time.
My lips were chapped for over a week. Very painful and starting to blister, I would use the EOS every five minutes just to sooth the pain. Finally I was talking to a friend about it and they told me that the EOS has a chemical in it that doesn't fix the problem. They told me that Chapstick does and that it would work for my aching lips. So I went to Walgreens the very next day and got some. The price was cheap and I started using it right away. I haven't even had it for 24 hours yet but my lips are fine! It works right away and it makes my lips smooth and healthy. I will never use any other product other than Chapstick!

Age: 19-24 Skin: Oily, Medium Hair: Black Eyes: Brown
Overall I feel like this product is worth 5 stars because of its affordability for its quality. The only reason why I gave 4 stars is because I don't like that medicinal feeling/taste. This is the type of lip balm you would leave in the car, purse, school bag, makeup bag, anywhere really. It comes with a good amount of product and for its price you really can't go wrong with it. I don't experience any peeling or flakiness from using this product, I fact I feel quite the opposite - it does a good job at moisturizing and it's the type of product I would use religiously. Not a HG, because there are products out there I would prefer more, but worth many repurchases.

I have been using this produce pretty much all my life and by far it is something that I think I will continue purchasing the entirety of my life. This product provides always provides an amazing amount of hydration and comes in an astounding variety of flavors and scents. The packing is small though provides a lot and gives a smooth and even coverage. The product keeps your lips moist even after it fades and smudges off. I just purchased one today in Cherry and am enjoying it just as expected.

Sons of Anarchy: Season Four Blu-ray Review
Secrets, secrets hurt someone.
Reviewed by Casey Broadwater, August 30, 2012
Last year, I wrote that FX's Sons of Anarchy was "the singular most badass show on television." Despite some heavy competition from AMC's Breaking Bad, I'm still sticking to my guns. Yes, Breaking Bad has the now super villainous, cancer-addled meth cook Walter Whitewho might be the single most terrifying character on cablebut Sons of Anarchy is straight-up bull-shark testosterone distilled into narrative TV form. You can practically smell the sweat, leather, motor oil, and iron tang of spilled blood wafting from the screen into your living room.
My wife jokes that the show is "male fantasy fulfillment" and "a soap opera for dudes," and I'm not going to argue with that. Part of the show's appeal is that it lets generally mild-mannered folk like myselfwho love the idea of tooling around on a massive motorcycle but are too afraid of dying in a head-on collisionto be armchair outlaws once a week, vicariously experiencing the thrills of shootouts and standoffs and high speed chases. But beneath the high-octane, superficial masculinitythe muscles and engines and posturingSons of Anarchy more importantly gets at the soul of what it means to "be a man." Loyalty. Protecting those you love. Being true to yourself. Drawing influence from Shakespeare, it's also a dense, twisting family tragedy, a "Hamlet on Harleys" that rides circles around the themes of revenge, ambition, and destiny.
If you've yet to see Sons of Anarchyand you're even remotely interested in a series about motorcycle-riding arms dealersdo yourself a favor and pick up the first three seasons on Blu-ray (or stream them on Netflix) before daring to watch season four. This isn't the sort of episodic show that you can just jump into; Sons' richly layered backstory and complicated inter-character dynamics practically require you to start from episode one. And if you like your TV with sprawling, overarching narratives, you'll be glad you did. This is a series that rewards attentive fans.
For newcomers, these are the basics: the show follows the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, specifically the "Redwood Original" chartera.k.a. SAMCROwhich operates out of the fictional northern California town of Charming. It's a small, family-oriented burg, and the Sons want to keep it that way. This doesn't mean SAMCRO is family friendly. The club members see themselves as benevolent outlawshere to serve and protect the communitybut they're also into some seriously illegal, under-the-radar business, like their gun-smuggling agreement with the True Irish Republican Army. The club is led by the grizzled, lantern-jawed Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman)whose hand-cramping arthritis threatens to keep him off his bikebut the real protagonist is his stepson, Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam), the princely Hamlet figure in this gasoline-soaked Shakespearean yarn.
The show's fourth season is more focused and impacting than the third, which sent several SAMCRO members to Belfast for the main story while leaving others behind in Charming to deal with comparatively unsatisfying subplots. The gang's together again this time around, and the show is much better for it. The season four premiere opens with the imprisoned Sons being released after serving a 14-month sentence, and the law is immediately back on their tails. Charming's new sheriff, Eli Roosevelt (Rockmond Dunbar), greets them with a show of force, warning them not to wear their sleeveless leather "cuts" around town, but the more significantand unseenthreat is antisocial Assistant U.S. Attorney Lincoln Potter (Ray McKinnon), a "really odd dude" who's secretly building a case against SAMCRO in order to help bring down the True IRA. What immediately gets Clay's goat, though, is Charming Heights, a planned subdivision that threatens to bring "modern luxury" to the sleepy town andif builtwill make a ton of cash for corrupt mayor Jacob Hale (Jeff Kober).
The tagline for this season might as well be "secrets, secrets hurt someone," as there are violent consequences when numerous characters withhold and manipulate the truth. There's "Juice" Ortiz (Theo Rossi), who gets blackmailed by the sheriff into gathering intel, Clay's "old lady," Jemma (Katey Sagal), whose been carrying a burden of guilt for twenty-odd years, and Bobby "Elvis" Munson (Mark Boone Junior), who tells a lie to death-row inmate Otto (show creator Kurt Sutter) that might come back to bite him. The core storyline, though, involves a satchel of letters written by Jax's dead father possibly murdered S.O.A. co-founder J.T.the contents of which could potentially upset the power balance inside SAMCRO. Jax's pediatric surgeon girlfriend, Tara (Maggie Siff)who's pressuring him to get out of the outlaw trade for goodis hiding the letters for fear that they'll only draw Jax deeper into the club, but the insider knowledge she's learned by reading them inevitably puts her in grave danger. Since she has the potential to bring him down, Clay goes gunning for hernot exactly literallyand though he's always been bad to the bone, this season he emerges as something closer to a villain than an anti-hero, particularly after he savagely beats Jemma for questioning his decisions.
She's not the only one doubting his intentions. When Clay agrees to mule cocaine as part of an arms trafficking deal with the Galindo cartellook out for the legendary Danny Trejo in a multi-episode arc as Mexican mafioso Romeo Paradait effectively splits the club. The money is good, but the danger is multiplied, with new heat from the rival Los Sonora cartel and increased exposure to Lincoln Potter's investigation. The show definitely lives up to the anarchy of the title this year; the violence is fast and furious, and with bigger guns from the Irishincluding assault rifles and rocket- propelled grenade launchersthere are episodes where the Sons seem more like a paramilitary group than a motorcycle gang.
The bloodshed is intense, but the drama is what makes Sons of Anarchy the rolling TV force that it is. Season four highlights the internal strains that are pulling SAMCRO apart, and the multi-layered relationships between the characters are peeled back onion-like, exposing raw grudges and resentments and wariness. It's gripping stuff, with twists galore, and it builds to a frenzy of murders and betrayals, most of which are predicated on miscommunication. My lone gripe with this seasonand I'll keep this spoiler freeis that a deus ex machina in the final episode renders much of what we've previously seen moot, dampening what could've been an explosive powder-keg situation. They've gotta save something for season five, I guess.
Sons of Anarchy: Season Four Blu-ray, Video Quality
Shot natively on high definition videousing the Panavision Genesis HD camera, to be preciseSons of Anarchy ports quite easily to Blu-ray, with a digital-to-digital, 1080p/AVC-encoded transfer that's satisfying in every regard. If you've seen the other seasons on Blu-ray, you know exactly what to expect from the season four seta sharp, mostly clean presentation that bests broadcast and streaming quality by a country mile, with far fewer compression issues. Most of the time, the picture is very nearly noiseless, although some source noise does pepper the darker nighttime and interior scenes. Clarity is consistently impressive. The worn-in texture of the leather "cuts," the weatherbeaten faces, the scraggly beards, the detailing of weaponryit's all sharp, without any trace of edge enhancement. The series' gritty but realistic color palette is finely tuned, riding on a foundation of strong blacks and punchy contrast. Highlights can occasionally seem slightly overblown, but this is rare and mostly attributable to the exposure latitude of the Genesis camera. Really, there are no distractions here; for Sons of Anarchy as it was meant to be seen, Blu-ray is definitely your best bet.
Sons of Anarchy: Season Four Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Sons of Anarchy literally roars onto Blu-ray with a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound presentation that's quite beefy for a cable TV show. You might not get the attention to detail or dynamic breadth that you'd get from a full-fledged action film, but the mixes are engaging and more than adequately support the onscreen anarchy. Engines purr with subwoofer accompaniment and bikes criss-cross between audio channels. Gunshots punch through the soundfield from all directions and the big gunslike those grenade launchersbring suitable sonic shock and awe. Effects frequently occupy the surround speakers, which are also used often for environmental ambience, from quiet clubhouse noise to insects, birds, wind, and other outdoorsy sounds. The action is backed up by a selection of usually hard-edged musical cues, which fill out the space and sound great with volume cranked. Dialogue throughout is always clean and easy to understand. While there are no dubs, the disc does include optional English SDH, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Mandarin subtitles.
Sons of Anarchy: Season Four Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Sons of Anarchy: Season Four Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
As far as I'm concerned, Sons of Anarchy is one of the best shows on TV right now, and its fourth season is balls-to-the-wall intense, with all the white-knuckle danger, badass violence, and Shakespearean drama you've come to expect from the series. If you're a longtime fan, this 3-disc Blu-ray set is probably already in your Amazon shopping cartit features the same great picture and sound as previous seasons, and some great extrasbut for newcomers, I'd recommend you start with season one and work your way forward. If you start now and pull a few marathon viewing sessions, you might get caught up in time for the season five premiere on September 11th.

Not only does the fan look amazing but it also helps provide a gentle breeze for those seeking the cooling shade of the lanai as a respite from the warm Florida sun!
Both my husband and I grew up in families where spending time in Florida was a common family vacation. As teachers, we have the opportunity to get away for extended periods of time over the summer as well as for shorter periods at the holidays. Being from Michigan, we love to get out of the cold and escape to the Florida sun in the winter. In the summer we love the heat, so Florida is a great choice! We frequently travel to the Orlando area because it has so much to offer. We love that we can have lazy days by the pool if we choose, just taking in a book and the sun. We also love that there are things to satisfy every interest just minutes away. Some of our favorite things to do while in the area are visiting the theme parks, shopping, playing golf and enjoying the great restaurants. We also like to try new things and have once in a lifetime experiences! Some of our favorites have been hot air ballooning, kayaking trips, and space shuttle launches! As we frequently travel with family and friends, having a vacation home allows everyone to be together, yet have their own space and privacy when they need it.
Mindy and James Gentz (Owners of Pastoral Palms Villa) purchased this villa in 2011
We began renting homes in Florida for our vacations in the late 90s. After several years we decided we should look into getting a place of our own and began causally looking in 2006. When the real estate market crashed in 2008, we were ready to take advantage of the situation and actively began searching for our dream home in 2009. With the help of our realtor, we looked at over 250 homes from December 2009 through December 2010.
Pastoral Palms caught my eye on one of my real estate shopping trips in March of 2009. I knew the moment I saw it, that it was the ONE! It was everything we wanted! The neighborhood was small and quiet. The home was is great shape. It had a large pool deck with a spa and covered lanai! The floor plan was great-- exactly what we had been looking for. When I made my next 'shopping' trip, I told my husband 'if it is still on the market--we are putting in an offer'. It was then I found the home was off the market--temporarily! After seeing the home, my husband agreed--we had to have it! In July we put in the offer and waited only to find out they accepted another. Devastated, we went back to searching for a property. In October, the home came back on the market! A second chance! In November we were again told another offer had been accepted. In December we made another 'shopping' trip, ready to put down an offer on something--after all it had been a year of looking! After our first day of viewing properties, we had a couple we could settle for but nothing special. On December 23 our Realtor called and said 'Merry Christmas, the other offer fell through and yours has been accepted!' This was the best Christmas present EVER! In the end, what sold us on this home was the quiet location, the floor plan, the premium lot, and my favorite--the view from the pool deck!
Pastoral Palms Villa at Wildflower Ridge is the perfect location for your vacation! Our home is far enough away from the major attractions to be private and relaxing yet close enough to have easy access to all the Orlando area has to offer. It is only 20 miles from Orlando International Airport. The Disney Parks are less than 13 minutes away. Universal Orlando is just 25 minutes away. For the golfers in the group, our closest courses are Reunion, Providence, and Champion's Gate. Reunion and Providence are only 3 miles and Champion's Gate 5 miles. There are too many courses to list that are all within 15 miles. Our home is just 3 miles from the nearest supermarket, pharmacy, and bank.
Other Activities: theme parks, air boating, golf, softball center, professional sports
Golf: Golf is a great activity year round in the Orlando Area. Our home is only 3 miles from Reunion as well as Providence and 5 miles from the Omni at Champions Gate. There are great opportunities to enjoy a round of golf no matter you skill level. Disney courses are only 10 minutes away. There are more golf courses than one has time for!

RELEASED: July 1, 2010
EAU CLAIRE — Four University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire students were recently awarded scholarships through the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program to study abroad.
Junior T. Benjamin Fischer, Wausau, was awarded $4,000 to study in Miramar, Costa Rica, during the 2010 summer session through the Costa Rica for Nursing & Health Care Professions program coordinated by UW-Eau Claire's Center for International Education.
For the fall semester, senior Erin Byrne, Milwaukee, was awarded $3,000 to student teach at St. Anthony's School in Kilcoole, Ireland, and senior Benjamin Zenda, Eau Claire, was awarded $5,000 to student teach at the Prague British School in the Czech Republic through placements arranged by the EducatorsAbroad Student Teaching program.
Junior Adam Coonen, Neenah, was awarded $5,000 to study at the University of Ghana, Legon, in West Africa for the 2010-11 academic year through the International Student Exchange Program, ISEP-Direct Ghana.
|T. Benjamin Fischer
Fischer, a nursing major with a minor in Spanish for health professions, is spending the summer session in Mirimar, taking classes taught by professors from Nicaraguan and Costa Rican universities. He is studying cultural sensitivity and all levels of the Costa Rican health care system, from local to national. Fischer also is taking a Spanish class that focuses on medical terminology and communications with Latino patients.
"I am hoping to improve my Spanish to the point where I can easily translate for a patient's needs, wishes and other things," Fischer said. "I want to build a strong relationship with my host family and become totally immersed in the Costa Rican culture."
|Erin Byrne
Byrne is an elementary education major with a minor in general science. The Gilman Scholarship Program requires students to propose a service project related to their study abroad experience. In preparation for her assignment, Byrne is creating podcasts about recycling with seventh and eighth graders. Once in Ireland, her elementary students will view the podcasts to learn about American recycling efforts and create podcasts of their own for Byrne to bring back.
"I look forward to learning about how the teachers encourage students in science because test scores show that Ireland is ahead of the United States in that subject area," Byrne said. "In addition, I am excited to see the different uses fortechnology in the classroom and the response to my project."
|Benjamin Zenda
Zenda, a social studies major, will meet half of his professional semester requirements for graduation and licensure upon the successful completion of 14 weeks of student teaching.
"Prague British School is an international school with a global student body. I believe the development of new perceptions inherent in studying various world views will not only strengthen my teaching, but also the learning of my future students," said Zenda.
Upon his return, Zenda will inform area high school students about the accessibility of a college education and conduct classroom presentations about the benefits of his experiences through the Gilman Scholarship and international education at UW-Eau Claire.
|Adam Coonen
Coonen, a political science major, hopes to broaden his knowledge of the developing world and looks forward to participating in a student-faculty research project during his stay. He will study Twi, the local language in Ghana, and will take Swahili course work.
"My biggest concern is learning the languages because that will increase my chances of getting into the Peace Corps and doing development work in Africa," Coonen said. "I know I would like to do something in the humanitarian field in the future."
The Gilman International Scholarship Program, established by the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000, provides awards that allow American undergraduate students who receive federal Pell Grant funding at two- or four-year colleges or universities to participate in study abroad programs worldwide. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, and is administered by the Institute of International Education through its Southern Regional Center in Houston, Texas.

Chicago (July 30, 2013) - The National Restaurant Association today announced the launch of ServSafe Allergens Online Course, a new online training course from the creators of the highly regarded ServSafe food safety program designed to help restaurants address food allergens. The education tool was developed in partnership with Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), the nation's leading food allergy nonprofit organization.
"The National Restaurant Association has been working diligently over the years to responsibly address the issue of food safety in restaurants, including food allergens," said William Weichelt, Director of ServSafe for the National Restaurant Association. "We are excited to partner with FARE on ServSafe Allergens to educate our restaurants and their employees, helping our members accommodate their guests' food allergies or other dietary requirements."
Weichelt added, "As always, we strongly encourage guests to talk to restaurant staff about their food allergies, and discuss concerns and alternatives to make their dining experience safe and enjoyable."
"Food allergies are a potentially life-threatening disease affecting up to 15 million Americans," said John L. Lehr, CEO of FARE. "We are proud to partner with the National Restaurant Association to launch this critical training program that will help restaurant personnel better understand the needs and safety precautions required when serving guests with food allergies. Ultimately, this program will help ensure a safer, more enjoyable dining experience for individuals and families who are managing food allergies."
The ServSafe Allergens course is designed to help both front-of-the-house staff and back-of-the-house operations better understand how to accommodate the growing number of guests with food allergies.
The course is part of the Association's ServSafe Program of comprehensive education materials created to develop a strong, skilled industry workforce. Through the ServSafe Food Safety program, the National Restaurant Association is the leading source of food safety training and certification for restaurant and foodservice industry professionals for nearly 40 years. To date, more than 5 million ServSafe certifications have been issued.
Visit FoodAllergens.com to learn more about the program, and watch a video overview. For resources on dining out with food allergies, visit FARE's website at www.foodallergy.org.
Founded in 1919, the National Restaurant Association is the leading business association for the restaurant industry, which comprises 980,000 restaurant and foodservice outlets and a workforce of more than 13 million employees.

Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) works on behalf of the 15 million Americans with food allergies, including all those at risk for life-threatening anaphylaxis. This potentially deadly disease affects 1 in every 13 children in the U.S. – or roughly two in every classroom. FARE's mission is to find a cure for food allergies, and to keep individuals safe and included. We do this by investing in world-class research that advances treatment and understanding of the disease, providing evidence-based education and resources, undertaking advocacy at all levels of government and increasing awareness of food allergy as a serious public health issue.
