I am absolutely in LOVE with V8 Soups. I have already gushed about V8 Southwestern Corn Soup, so it was high time that I tried another flavor so I picked up a box of V8 Sweet Red Pepper Soup and had it for lunch the next day.
The V8 Sweet Red Pepper Soup is described as, "A friendly competition between the crisp sweetness of red peppers and the classic sweetness of farm-grown tomatoes. No artificial flavors. No preservatives. Just the delicious, vibrant taste of a full serving of vegetables with the nutritional goodness that goes along with it." I thought it was delicious. it's quite a thick soup and looks like it would be tomato based, but it's not.
While eating this (and narrating the review in my head), I thought: flavorful, slightly sweet, but not in the traditional sense of the word, deep, rich flavor - smooth and fantastic with bread. A box is 2 servings and normally, and whereas I would eat the entire thing, as I was pouring this out, I thought to myself that this was a lot of soup - too much for me to eat in 1 sitting. I think this is because it's all liquid and so it seems more filling than traditional soups that have vegetables and/or meat added. This must be the first time I have not had to eat the entire "2 servings" content of soup at once to be fully satisfied.
Each 1 cup serving of V8 Sweet Red Pepper Soup provides 120 calories, 1.5 grams of total fat, 26% of the daily value for sodium, 3 grams of protein and 16% of the DV for fiber. The ingredients list is stellar: water, Tomoto Puree (water, tomato Paste), red Peppers, Crushed Tomatoes (water, concentrated Crushed Tomatoes), black Bean Flakes, Dehydrated Potatoes, Contains less than 2% of the Following: Cream (Milk), sugar, roasted Red Bell Pepper Puree, salt, modified Food Starch, Butter(cream[milk], salt, ), dehydrated Leeks, carrots, cabbage, onions, corn Syrup, celery, celery Leaves, yeast Extract, lemon Juice Concentrate, roasted Gralic Puree, spice Extract(contain Soy Lecithin), parsley, paprika Extract(for Colour).
The only thing I think that might have improved this soup a little is if it had a little kick at the end - a bit spicier - but that's just me. The sodium content is high, as is the case with most packaged soups, and while I did prefer the V8 SouthWestern Corn Soup, this was still delicious and worthy of the $2.50 price tag.

So our friends the CogBoys got a bunch of new toys in the Lathe Worlds.
But I'm wondering what your experiences are with these options. As thech-priests tool up with enhanced potentia coils, subskin armour and a few levels of The Flesh is Weak they become increasingly powerful. Does it all work out? Are there balance issues here?
On a related issue, how do you treat the "Tech-Priest only" Availability? I understand it means "only available to tech priest", but it doesn't say HOW available for them.
Do they all get them if they want'em? If they have to Inquire for them, what sort of difficulty is applicable? Are they Common for the CogBoys? Rare?

Summit 4.9 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Refrigerator - Stainless Steel w/ Black Cabinet Model:SPR626OS
Summit 4.9 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Refrigerator
Enjoy your favorite beverages and snacks outdoors with the Summit 4.9 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Refrigerator (SPR626OS). Summit's outdoor refrigerator line was designed to be able to withstand outdoor corrosive elements and will last in your outdoor patio area for years to come. Also concerned with form as much as function, Summit built this refrigerator with a sleek black cabinet with a modern stainless steel door that will be sure to impress your friends and family. The door comes complete with a full length professional handle, and a keyed door lock to help you protect the contents of your refrigerator. The refrigerator brandishes a front breathing design to allow you to build it into your outdoor cabinetry, or use the refrigerator independently as a freestanding unit.
Inside of the cabinet is a digital thermostat with touchpad controls that allows you to pinpoint the perfect temperature for your refrigerator and a blue-lit LED display shows you exactly where your refrigerator is set to cool to. Unlike other refrigerators that can develop hot spots, this refrigerator utilizes a fan-forced internal cooling system that ensures that the entire cabinet is cooled evenly and thoroughly. To help you organize the contents of your refrigerator are three (3) full-width interior glass shelves that are adjustable so that you can maximize the space inside of the refrigerator. The floor of the refrigerator is equipped with grooves that can hold up to six (6) regular sized wine bottles in an optimal horizontal position. Elegant interior lighting is provided with a recessed LED light that can be turned on and off via the touchpad control panel. On top of all of these features, this refrigerator is 100% CFC free, reducing the overall carbon footprint of this appliance. If you enjoy hosting outdoor parties, lounging by the pool, or simply enjoy having food and snacks outdoors, then the Summit 4.9 Cu. Ft. Outdoor Refrigerator is just for you.

Our favourite lion, Munich is tuning in to the stars this season for some style-inspiration and studying all the signs of the Western Zodiac. Historically, the twelve signs of the Zodiac (as pictured above) were based on the twelve constellations through which the sun passes throughout the year, which have been said to be "enlightened by the mind". Our MCM Zodiac Charm Collection is exclusively available within Korean boutiques nationwide and would make a wonderful Christmas gift for your loved ones (should you be in the area, that is!)
Horoscopes are omnipresent in magazines, on websites etc and even the most skeptical amongst us will have a look, just to see. In difficult times, horoscopes are an easy thing to cling to for a nudge or guidance... This is also true in times of sartorial doubt... Which is why, I associated one of our bags with a Zodiac sign, following their main characteristics - have a look at what our Munich Lion went up to:
Aries x Little Veronika Visetos Tote
Aries: You are playful and impulsive, and pretty fearless when it comes to personal style. The Little Veronika Visetos Tote is your perfect match with its bold colours and textures mix.
Taurus x First Lady Croco
Taurus: You love luxury, but you are a fervent adept of the "less is more" philosophy when it comes to style. The First Lady Croco is your everyday ally.
Gemini x Stark Backpack
Gemini: You are intelligent, communicative and versatile... You like variety in fashion and you are not afraid to mix and match. What could be more versatile than our beloved Stark Backpack?
Cancer x First Lady Tote
Cancer: Your friends sometimes call you cranky, but really you are just very tenacious and ready to defend your family at all costs. When it comes to style, you can be a little shy but always feminine. Our First Lady Tote with its beautiful muted hue is your perfect match.
Leo x Leo Collection Shopper
Leo: Ever the flamboyant one, fierce and fearless, you are not afraid to make a sartorial statement or two. Your bag of choice? The stunning Leo Collection shopper.
Virgo x Heritage Line Drawstring
Virgo: You feel the best when you are au naturel. Always organised and serene, you like simple finer things in life. The Heritage Line Drawstring bag is made for you.
Libra x Little Veronika Visetos Shoulder Handbag
Libra: You appreciate beauty in everything and you are utterly charming. Style wise, you are a bit of a classic bombshell, so make a splash in our Little Veronika Visetos shoulder bag.
Scorpio x Nuovo L Red
Scorpio: Your fiery temperament is like no other, you are passionate, seductive and mysterious. Your colour of choice is red - like this Nuovo L Tote.
Sagittarius x Vasco Series Backpack
Sagittarius: You are adventurous, a lover of freedom and a true explorer. Style wise, you like to keep things practical and down to Earth... with a playful twist. This Vintage Trunk backpack will take you around the world!
Capricorn x Mocha Tote
Capricorn: Your tastes reflect your personality perfectly - you are reliable, practical and go straight to the point. The Mocha Tote is exactly like you, what a match!
Aquarius x Cognac Visetos Medium Tambourine
Aquarius: You are the girl next door, the person everyone loves. A little bohemian, a little idealistic, always friendly. Your bag of choice - the Medium Visetos Tambourine.

You are here
Participation in sports offers tremendous social, emotional and physical benefits for children. We know that one of the worst things for kids is being on the sidelines with an injury. As parents and coaches, there are simple things we can do to help reduce preventable injuries – so our kids can continue playing the games they love.
The Hard Facts
In 2012, more than 1.24 million children ages 19 and under were seen in emergency departments for injuries related to 14 commonly played sports.
Top Tips
- Before playing organized sports, make sure your child receives a pre-participation physical exam, or PPE, by a doctor. This can help rule out any potential medical conditions that may place your young athlete at risk.
- Bring a water bottle to practice and games. Encourage children to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during and after play.
- Stretching before practice and games can release muscle tension and help prevent sports-related injuries, such as muscle tears or sprains. Make sure there is time set aside before every practice and game for athletes to warm up properly.
- Take time off from one sport to prevent overuse injuries. It is an opportunity to get stronger and develop skills learned in another sport.
- It's also a good idea for coaches to get certified in first aid and CPR, learn the signs and symptoms of a concussion and help avoid overuse injury by resting players during practices and games.
Learn More
There are plenty of things to learn about youth sports safety. Here's some more information to ensure that your young athletes stay active, healthy and injury free.

I was an 8th grader and my 13th birthday was coming up on October the eighth. The year was 1998 and I remember my parents giving me a few good gifts (New Sega Games, a few new basketball jerseys etc etc). But they had a long box that they seemed to specifically save for last. I removed the wrapping and saw a jewelry box holding a woman's necklace. Surprised, but not wanting to come off disappointed I said "thanks, it's nice." After a short pause and getting a good laugh my parents explained that the necklace was actually my mother's and that my gift could be found hidden underneath it. When I removed the necklace and found what lay beneath I saw three tickets to the Janet Jackson Velvet Rope Tour at MSG only two days later. I brought my mother, my cousin, a pair of binoculars and had the greatest time of my life. But I knew I had to get my mother back for surprising me like that.
Sade at the Prudential Center in Newark NJ. Wait a second. Sade is my mother's favorite artist. Sade hasn't performed in America since the 90′s. Could it really be? Oh man this is perfect. I'll be home from Germany, my mom will be finished with the school year. And being an K-8 school guidance counselor, this concert is exactly what she'll need. Tickets go on sale, April 13th. SH*T!!! We have a game that day. What to do, what to do? Entrust my brother with the responsibility…maybe. Entrust my brother with my credit card number…don't think so. After running out of other options I had to buckle down and tell my mom of my plan and hope she could get them (promising I'd pay her back). Her response was then, "I pre-ordered them with some ladies from work. They're going to the show in Long Island the night before but I got tickets for the show in Newark." Huh? There goes my mom, being one step ahead of me again. Anyway, I convinced her to take me instead of her husband. My father can't get jiggy to Sade and therefore the date was saved. I've been looking forward to this for over two months and it did not disappoint.
Doors opened at 7 so naturally, we were there at 7:05pm. There was no need to rush, our seats, 17 rows from the front were secure, but the excitement, anticipation (and lack of traffic) got us down there pretty quickly. Having an hour to chat on the drive down and another hour to chat before the start of the show, my mom began to tell me that she couldn't remember the last concert she'd been to. She thought it was The Chi-Lites or Teddy Pendergrass until she recalled reading AK's last concert review and realizing we saw Janet back in '98. When we concluded no one should wait 12 1/2 years between shows, we decided Adele would be our next show together. So it was only fitting that John Legend opened up his set with Rolling In The Deep. Once he got to his songs and I got over his back up singers equestrian pants, I ended up really enjoying his performance. The live band he had absolutely killed it during I Can Change. After about seven more songs, he ended with my mom's favorite Green Light and we were ready for Sade.
Taking almost 40 minutes to change sets, we got a chance to see how full the arena was. As well as how diverse of a fan base she has. There were the children, the adults, the Europeans, the Africans, the Black people, the White people, the Pimp$, the H0e$ etc etc. When she came out to the Soldier Of Love instrumental, the entire arena stood up and applauded. Once the beat finally dropped and she was revealed in her trademark ponytail and black turtleneck, the roars from the crowd did not cease. Two hours later, the applause was still going strong. We had seen her phenomenal band absolutely kill Jezebel. We saw her sing her heart out during Your Love Is King and Pearls. And that was all supplemented with personal addresses to her fans about how much we meant to her.
Once By Your Side was finished and the standing ovation saw her off the stage, a silence drew over the crowd. Chants of "ENCORE ENCORE" then began in the front and worked it's way through the entire coliseum. Of course she came back out and sang my favorite song Cherish The Day and with that the night was complete. Top to bottom she was beautiful, and not beautiful in the sense of shaking her ass and showing tons of cleavage (because ladies, we all know that's what guys consider beautiful these days), but rather beauty in the way you look at your mother. And having the chance to share this beautiful performance with my beautiful mother made it that much more special.
The only possible thing that could have made the night better was if Joell Ortiz came out to perform Soldier or if Joe Budden and performed Ordinary Love Sh*t Parts 1 & 2
Oh yeah and If you think I paid her back for those tickets…well then you must not know blackhercules

here you go not sure if it's real but hot
here you go not sure if it's real but hot
You must be a mind reader. I just saw the movie Swimming Upstream, and Jesse Spencer was just bulge-alicious. Thanks for posting that link.
Is this the same guy that is in the US series 'House'? Or something like that!
It looks like stills from the shooting of the program. You only saw him from the back on TV........but that is his arse. The photos on the bottom row I remember seeing at the time and kept hoping to see his dick, lol.
Wish they'd got it all in in the first photo but he looks good in the second one!
Jesse Spencer is lovely but his namesake-no relation-Jansen spencer appeared in the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" until 2003.Look up the sites devoted to either him or the prog and you'll see absolute perfection,and he wears short Ozzy schoolboy shorts too.Some pics show him in the wonderfully tight Oz football shorts,so tight you wouldn't believe.
I'm renting his films now!
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. ~Oscar Wilde
Does anyone have the video on MPEG?
Jesse has a nice ass, looks hot when he wears speedos.
Jesse Spencer from HOUSE is the same australian actor who played Billy in neighbours. I have fancied him since i was a kid and watched it after school. Just go on IMDB.
Yeah Who is Jansen Spencer?
Jesse Spencer was in Neighbours, I didnt realise he was in anything else I thought he was still living happily with Anne(They were like the Ross and Rachel of Neighbours for a wee while with their will they won't they love story)
Jansen Spencer is just another hottie... see below.
Thanks for the link. Jesse is hot in those pictures. Brunette or blonde, he is cute.
I have thought he is very hot since Neighbours. Nice looking uncut dick there - I reckon that would develop very nicely, thank you!
Hate to burst your bubble but the frontal shots are both fake, someone's photoshopped his head onto the body from a New Zealand radio host doing a nude stunt...and cleverly overlayed it onto a filming scene.....the lengths these people go to!
Apparanlty from when he made that film when he ran into the sea naked...
good pictures. judging by the pics it looks like it was cold in the water and where they were filming.
i don't think the full frontal is fake...
it looks real to me....
see at first i thought it was fake but i dunno, could well be real!
These are pictures of Jesse Spencer also known as Dr. Robert Chase for FOX's House M.D. from a movie called Swimming Upstream
Here's the link to more pictures http://www.superherofan.net/gallerie...cer/index.html
Interesting architecture in the last picture at link.... some sort of indoors cabanas?
so... a video with Jesse nude:
what about the frontals in the attach? there are fakes?
Those are real. From a movie called Death in the Holy Order or something similar.
I've always thought there was something cute about Jesse Spencer. These pictures are from a movie called "Death of Holy Orders"
Man I could spend some time in that ass
Yumm yumm yummmmmyz!
Thats one great ass!
He's a total hottie but LOL @ bubble butt, I'd hate to hear what you'd call mine if that's a bubble. Between him and Omar Epps on house I damn near orgasm everytime that show comes on.
Isn't this the same guy? If so I'm surprised nobody included these.
Oh my god, what I could do to the rest of him as well
FlipPy, where did you find those?
Is this Jesse Spencer? I hope so!
Yes, it is Jesse Spencer. Do a search here on JUB, there have been several threads that included this picture.
^ Yep; the upper part comes from a movie called 'Death in Holy Orders', which does offer you a nice view of his rear end as he races towards the ocean for a swim...
But the frontal shot, has been argued to belong to..Alex Behan (spelling?), a radio presented from New Zealand who took part in the National Penis Day celebration there by stripping down with a bunch of other guys in public.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
^ Well, I stand corrected.
I presume my source was incorrect then when I'd first heard about it.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
And just to tidy it all up. Here is the original of Alex Behan that was used for both of the 'cock shot' fakes of Jesse. Alex's image was flipped horizontally in order to create the fakes (which is what I've done for ease of comparison). The 2nd popular fake is also shown.
So are there ANY nudes of Jesse Spencer?
Jesse at the 2nd "Handle With Care" HIV Charity sponsored by Cedars-Sinai held on the 1st March. Great forearms!!!!
So beautiful. I stopped watching HOUSE when they reduced his role. I have Swimming Upstream on dvd because of Jesse - was unaware of the nude scenes shown here. I'll have to see if I can get that movie too.
If I recall correctly, someone pointed out a while ago that the 'full frontals' are actually of New Zealand personality Alex Behan:
Judge for yourself.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently...
They are great pics of him to find at

Things have been busy this winter, the holidays never let up! I built this bench last October and finally finished it on Thanksgiving Day.You can find plans to make your own dining bench on Ana White's site here. check out her official plan for your materials list and measurements. Thanks Ana for letting me contribute a project!
Picture this: Me and my husband dragging the bench out onto the street between traffic to take photographs (between basting the Thanksgiving turkey, mind you). I'd snap a few pics, then we would have to pick it up and move it to the curb while a car went by, then back out in the street for more photos. Our neighbors even came outside to make fun of us! I'm taking pictures, Sam's doing the heavy lifting, and our neighbor is across the street yelling "Why don't you leave it out there, (neighbor who shall remain nameless) already parks his car on the lawn!" Good times.
Anyway, I've been wanting a dining bench for some time. Not for dining, but in our little house, we have a room doing triple duty as an office/ sewing and craft room/ homeschool room. I have a large dining table set up for the girls to do their work, and since we officially kicked off Kindergarten this year, I needed to get this space whipped into shape. My girls are little and the bulky dining chairs we were using were so clunky, uncomfortable, and the girls were always falling off and getting tangled in the chair frame (don't ask). A bench was the perfect solution. It's comfy, it's spacious, they can sit right next to each other. Not to mention it's super stylish, and with the design elements I used, it's got sentimental value as well.
This bench is assembled with basic 2x4 and 2x6 boards. Heavy-duty, cheap, and easy to work with. But the big difference you will notice is how super comfortable it is to sit on. That is thanks to the elastic webbing used as a cushion support rather than plywood. It has a little "give" and holds up quite well. After some research online, I found that it is very common in European crafted furniture and has almost replaced the old way of building supports with springs, twine, and burlap webbing.
I found myself flipping furniture at World Market the other day and "Surprise!"
Guess what they use on their chair platforms?
Elastic webbing! (Am I nuts because I went back with my camera and made my 5 year old daughter hold up the chair while I took the picture?)
I chose a simple fabric to cover the bench. A linen-like cotton with tan and orange threads. I think it's the first orange anything I've ever owned, but it's fun and just right for the space. But the best part:
The BUTTONS!
I made this build a whole lot harder on myself than it needed to be. I finished the bench and then realized it was too short for my table. Dang it! So I had to remove the legs and make new ones for the frame. Of course, I had already upholstered the entire thing, so I had some dismantling to do. I like to think that I'm just getting the kinks out for the next guy that builds this....so here ya go next guy. It's all ready for You!
Here are a few of my suggestions (more like lessons learned!) before you start cutting:
1. Pick a friendly fabric. If your bench will be used for nightly dinners, choose a fabric that wipes easily. Patterns hide stains better than solids. Look into patio furniture fabric. It's treated, fade resistant, and can take a beating. Now that patio furniture costs as much as a living room set, it is much easier to find fabric in attractive colors and patterns at affordable prices. Also, pay attention to the way your fabric runs on the bolt. You will want something that is "railroaded" if you choose a print. That means the design runs with the roll on the bolt. Otherwise, if the pattern runs the opposite direction, you have to piece it together and there will be seams across your bench. I'm halfway regretting my fabric choice now, because the top of this bench has become a perch for the newest member of our family, Prince. His little claws have not been friendly. He likes to use it as a runway before he launches on his next target.
2. Know your foam. The most frustrating part of building anything requiring foam cushioning isn't the sewing or the stapling- It's the cost! Foam is insanely expensive. I even considered buying a junk sofa from Goodwill to harvest the foam seat cushions. Most foam is sold by the foot in different densities and you can find it at craft and fabric stores and local upholstery shops. I found a great resource online at DIY Upholstery Supply. They sell it in long lengths for church pews- perfect application for a dining table bench. However, as luck would have it, I found the best deal ever in my town. My local Fred Meyer (Northwest Chain like a fancy Walmart) sells it in their sporting goods section. I was able to buy a 6 foot x 30 inch x 3 inch thick foam camping mat for $20- That is unheard of! The same piece would have cost around a hundred dollars at JoAnn's. Shop around and see what other applications this type of foam can be used for; I never would have thought to look in the camping section. It was a happy accident!
3. Measure your table. This bench plan is very simple to make and easy to modify to fit to your table. You can measure the height of an existing chair or estimate an appropriate height to fit your space. Also, making your own bench gives you the opportunity to custom fit the seating. If you've got a "Honky-Tonk-Ga-Donk-a-Donk," then you can build this baby to match. I personally went around and measured all of my favorite seats in the house to get a good average. I made my bench 24" deep, it's very full and has room for a few throw pillows. I have a slight obsession with throw pillows, so this gives me another space to use them. You can also make the bench as long as you would like, however, any more than 60", I would consider adding legs in the center of the frame for support.
4. Dry-fit the bench before upholstering. I added the foam and fabric to my pieces before I drilled and bolted the frame together. That was a dumb move. Check for level and make sure the seat and back are square before you drill and bolt and definitely do that part before you have the bulk of the foam to combat.
So let's get started!
I measured out the angles on the 2x4's for the back frame and cut them out with my circular saw. I used the jig saw to get in the small spaces where the seat mounts to the back. My bench legs were 12" tall. Sanded them fine and gave them a coat of stain. I used Minwax Special Walnut.
While the stain dried, I cut the seat frame. You'll notice in my pics that I just assembled it at a flat frame. Well, I had to go back and fix that part! On the first go-round, the front legs just attached underneath. They ended up being too short and wobbly. The legs really need to be incorporated into the frame for added strength and support. It's also important to use corner blocking to keep the frame square. That was another "oopsie." I added it after I installed the elastic webbing for the tramp.
Next comes the seat platform. Notice that the side frame pieces are angled and the front and rear boards are two different sizes. This makes for comfortable seating and gives the bench a little more style other than looking like a big block. For the center braces, I used 1x4 boards mounted flush with the bottom of the frame. You want a gap between the tops of these boards and the top of the frame because the webbing will dip for comfort. Add corner blocking to keep the frame square.
My big do-over.
I had to back and cut into the frame to add legs that are incorporated into the frame. The final plan should have eliminated this issue, but we were still in the research and development phase. I notched out a 1 1/2" piece from the front corners of the frame and attached the legs with pocketholes.
Next, I cut the foam for the back cushion...I cannot say how thrilled I was to find another use for my jigsaw! I've seen numerous craft shows where they use an electric carving knife to cut foam. I don't have one, and thankfully the jigsaw worked, otherwise, I was breaking out the Sawzall!
Cut another piece of foam for the top. Since your fabric is going to wrap over the back and you will be grabbing the top to move in and out of the bench, it needs a little cushion up there as well. I added a piece that was 2" high and sprayed it to everything else with the adhesive.
And guess what?
The best way to do this quickly is set it up in the living room and make sure your husband is laying on the couch watching Sportscenter.
With your frame and elastic webbing ready, grab a stapler and staple down the first edge. I used five staples to hold each end down with a 1" overhang that I stapled down to the side. Once one side is securely in place you can pull the webbing across to the opposite end. Pull it as tight as you can, then use the webbing stretcher (er, dogbrush) to pull extra tight.
At this point, your husband will witness your act of strength, and not to be outdone, the Shirtless Wonder will hop off the couch and demand that you let him do it. The webbing stretcher is completely unnecessary as he uses sheer brute force to pull the webbing taut while bearing down against the frame.While he is "Showing you how it's done" you are free to staple at will, leisurely walk around, and take pictures of the process.
You tricked him so good, he's now doing all the work!
Until he realizes that you tricked him, that is! Then he's giving you the "Stink-Eye" and saying things like "Are you gonna put down the camera and help me over here?" Ah yes, now I remember why I just LOVE doing projects with my man.
Okay, so you are going to lay all the strips in one direction stapling them on each end with an overhang of 1-2". Each strip is placed 4-6" apart all the way across. Then, when you are finished with one direction, place the next set perpendicular, being sure to weave back and forth (basketweave pattern) between the rows so you end up with one solid support.
Remember the placemats you made in elementary school with construction paper? This is a larger version!
I ended up adding a row here and there, so my pattern is off, but you get the picture:
Once the webbing is finished, the cushion is cut for the top. I sprayed down the frame with more adhesive and stuck the foam right over it. Remember, my picture below is incorrect from the actual plan because this was a "before" when I had not added the front legs to the frame. Where the rear of the seat meets the back of the bench, the foam will touch and it was nearly impossible for me to get the frame pieces bolted together.
(This was where my Rage-a-hol kicked in and no matter how hard I clamped and squeezed I could NOT get the frame to align. After I calmed down and "regrouped," it really was a simple fix. Time-outs are not just for kids.)
I had to trim the rear of the cushion at a 45 degree angle so that the bench would bolt together. If I were you, I would trim the back cushion instead, this way, the seat cushion will rest under the back cushion. If that makes sense to you, you will see what I am talking about in the final pictures.
Next, it's upholstering time! Follow the link for part II.

What "we think" DirecTV should do, doesn't mean anything at the end of the day.
It may not mean anything today, tomorrow or even next year. Depending on how many people share this view, however, it could have a long-term negative effect on DirecTV's subscriber base and retention rate.
Companies that don't pay attention to what customers want (and are going to competitors to get) eventually shrink or die. Blockbuster, GM and Circuit City are examples of once dominant companies downsized or eliminated due to this. Ironically, major Cable TV companies are still trying to recover from the same mistake: In the infancy of both DirecTV and Dish, cable companies saw satellite as the alternative of last resort for hicks who couldn't get cable service. It wasn't until cable guys did a few million disconnects on homes with new grey frisbees on the roof that they figured it out.
Streaming, downloading and file sharing (legal or illegal) are reaching a quality, quantity and ease of use on par with satellite. How long it takes DirecTV to realize this will impact their profit (or loss) in years to come.
"Bit for Bit" HD copying seems to be the holy grail to Hollywood.
What I'm ranting for is copy protected bit for bit copying. "Holy Grail?" Bit for bit copying is more like a drinking fountain: BitTorrent, eDonkey and hundreds of other sites offer anything and everything digital. Based on the small number of lawsuits filed against home users for copyright infringement, it appears tens of millions of P2P/torrent users feel comfortable with the risk every day.
I think Hollywood already knows copy protection is a dead horse. The decline in prices of DVDs and Blu-Ray Discs, the free "digital copy" included with most DVD purchases and even PPV DirecTV movies available on the same day as retail release are proof of this.
Without endorsing or providing a "how to" guide, I'll just state the facts: "Hackware" (although possibly illegal) is available for any DVR connected to a home network; removal of the internal HDD is not required. If Hollywood and DirecTV want to make such activity less tempting, a simple and legal licensed backup method might just do the trick.

School of Nursing gathers for Dedication to the Profession ceremony
Loyola University Chicago Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing held its Dedication to the Profession ceremony and reception on Saturday, Oct. 20, 2012. The annual event, which replaces the former capping ceremony, provided an opportunity for junior class nursing students, accelerated program nursing students and dietetic interns to reflect and pledge themselves to their chosen studies and the health-care profession. The faculty presided over the ceremony and blessed the hands of students and health-care professionals within the audience.
"It was a beautiful day at Madonna della Strada as the nursing and dietetic students participated in a 'Blessing of the Hands' tradition where they were reminded of the important work in which those hands will be involved as they enter the health-care profession," Dean Keough said.
Following the ceremony at Madonna della Strada Chapel at Loyola's Lake Shore Campus, the school hosted a reception at the Donovan Reading Room to celebrate the occasion with students, families, guests, alumni, faculty and staff.
Kara Podjasek, junior class president, Vicki Keough, PhD, APRN-BC, ACNP, FAAN, dean and professor, MNSON, Richard L. Gamelli, MD, senior vice president, professor and provost of Health Sciences Division, and Ann Solari-Twadell, PhD, RN, MPA, FAAN, associate professor, MNSON, provided the welcome remarks for the ceremony.
Renee Thomas, a recent graduate of the school and former recipient of the Dean's Gold Key Award, gave the keynote address. Student representatives from the traditional and accelerated nursing programs and dietetic interns spoke about symbolic aspects of the ceremony and the health-care profession. They also provided reflections about their student experiences and their decision to join the school and health-care communities.
"Seeing everyone come together and unite over our passion for nursing was very touching," Podjasek said. "I will never forget how privileged I am to be part of such an amazing nursing program."

The incident was the second-deadliest school shooting in United States history, after the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre.
Delta State University Police Chief Lynn Buford is working hard to assure safety for the DSU campus and the Cleveland community.
Buford said he and his officers and staff are thankful nothing of magnitude has rocked DSU and they take great pride in maintaining a low-crime campus.
"Incidents over the last year have heightened everyone's awareness, but anyone coming on our campus should feel safe," said Buford. "If you look at our crime stats we are a very safe environment."
Campus safety at DSU became a hot topic last Wednesday after a 24-year-old Cleveland man made threats to admissions staff when he was told he lacked credentials to become a registered student.
According to Buford, the suspect has a history of mental issues and his threatening gestures suggested he might come back to campus with a gun.
"This was an isolated incident and our officers did a good job taking control of the situation and arresting the subject," said Buford.
Buford added that the department has an endless commitment to staying trained, aware and prepped for emergencies — and this commitment is the key to keeping DSU secure, just as it did in last week's incident.
The nine-officer department is constantly staying abreast with the most recent training and certification opportunities.
"Training is at our forefront," said Buford. "We recently went through Active Shooter Training and we will continue to keep training a priority, especially when it's applicable to us in the college environment."
Gun related cases at DSU are rare, but any indication of weapons on site initiates a serious inspection.
"If we become aware of weapons on campus we begin a thorough investigation of the threat level," said Buford.
Seeing that the campus is an open, ungated community, Buford said there's no way to know of a visitor's intentions, but the department is constantly patrolling to ensure everyone's safety.
"Communication is something we are looking at improving," he added. "That includes communication between us, different departments and offices — the university as a whole.
"We want to take a positive and proactive approach to enhancing security."
Other ideas to boost safety are up for discussion, including having faculty, staff and students wear ID badges, as well as enhancing emergency notifications through emails, texts and social networking.
Cooperation and assistance from local authorities also adds an extra element of reassurance.
"Our communication with the Cleveland Police Department and the Bolivar County Sheriff's Department is strong," said Buford. "We stay in touch about the safety of the university community and the surrounding community.
"In light of recent events, I think it's time we all reconvene to discuss school safety issues countywide."
For the meantime, the DSU Police Department will continue to maintain a protected environment.
For questions or comments concerning campus safety, contact the department at 662-846-4155 or send an email to email@example.com.
The mission of the university police department is to protect life and property, to understand and serve the needs of the campus community, to improve the quality of life by building capacities to maintain order, resolve problems, and apprehend criminals in a manner consistent with the law and reflective of shared university values.

Toyota Camry Lease Questions

Hi everyone. Please use the following discussion to post any questions that you have about leasing a Toyota Camry. Thanks.

lmacmil Posts: 1,756I leased a Camry in April. Just a bit of info. Toyota "residualizes" the options differently than just about everyone else. They use a different residual factor for the options than for the base car. Not a big deal but makes the lease calculation more complicated if you're trying to figure it out yourself from the standard formula.
crandleman Posts: 65I found that out yesterday after I called a dealer a liar. He told me that the residual was off the base MSRP and not the sticker MSRP with the destination included. Problem was that I looked on Edmunds, MSN, leasing guide, and called the 3 other area dealers and they all said that the dealer was wrong. Turns out he wasn't but he was still a liar about MANY other things so it made it easier to walk.
Why the hell does Toyota do it this way? Essentially you pay a lot more than you would with other cars. -

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey crandleman. I would be happy to try to give you an idea of what Toyota's September lease program is like on the 2005 and 2006 Camry. However, in order for me to do so I need you to tell me how long you want to lease one for, how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it, and what state you are in.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey crandleman. I have not seen Toyota's specific lease money factor for the 2006 Camry in your area, but in every area of the country that I have seen it for Toyota Financial Services' buy rate lease money factor is .00190. Its 36 month, 12,000 miles per residual value for the '06 Camry is currently 56%.

CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey ogbuffguy. If you were to lease a 2006 Toyota Camry LE 4-cylinder sedan through Toyota Financial Services in its Los Angeles region right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00190 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

mistertwister Posts: 6Hi Car_Man,
I just finished leasing a BMW for myself and now I'm helping my father to lease a Camry.
In BMW lingo, there's a "MACO" marketing fee and "Training Fee" that the dealers are charged (and is added to their invoice). Does Toyota have equivalents? There's a bank fee called "Acquisition Fee" to get a lease started, it's $625. Does Toyota have something similar?
In order to get the best money factor, BMW requires a refundable deposit (roughly a month's payment). Does Toyota require the same?
My father wants to get a 4 Cylinder XLE. Do you happen to know the residual and money factor for that car in Northern California (San Francisco area)? Is there a site where it is all posted?
I heard that the options on Toyota's have a different residual value than the base car, is that so? If so, do you have those numbers as well?
And lastly, once I build the spreadsheet with all this data, what kind of deals should he expect to get in terms of markup from the invoice?
Thanks so much in advance!!! -
polo1 Posts: 1Hey Car_man.
I am in Miami area. I have no experience in lease, today at a Toyota dealer, they offered me a Toyota Camry 4 cylinder for $18,900, if I want to lease this car, how much could be my monthly payment.
By the way, what is he meaning of "rate lease money factor" and do you use it.
Thanks so much in advance!!! -
robertinohio Posts: 21I am considering a Camry LE 4cyl 4 DR Auto. According to the toyota web site, $229/Mo. – 36 Month Lease. $2,399 due at lease signing. Lease Factor .00120 Lease-end purchase option $11,410. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the 2006 Camry 4-Door Sedan LE Model 2532 is $20,101. I am in Cleveland Ohio Questions:
1. I want alloys. the dealer is saying it will cost me $1000 and does not residualize. It will cost me $30 a month extra. Is this correct? I really want them, but its not worth $30 a month.
2. I am using the $1000 toyota newspaper ad that can be applied to my best deal. I am trading in my 02 highlander 4x2 4cyl that has a buyout of $11,995. THe dealership is willing to give me $13,000, so I will get an extra $1000 down. What should my monthly payment be with 0 down? THey are telling me $268. -
davidlni Posts: 3Hi, I just talked to a dealership in Phoenix area. They offer me the 06 Camry LE model with the following leasing program.
1) Monthly payment $220 (including tax which is 8.1% here)
2) The residual value is about $11,400 (I dont negotiate on the car price, but the MSRP is $21,100)
3) My down payment is $2,500.
4) I have a 98 Ford Excort ZX2 to trade in and they give $2,500 for the trade in value. (Car with fair condition but good mileage which is about 89,000 miles)
I have done a simple calculation in order to get the basic figure of this leasing offer.
If I use the residual value of $11,400 with the 56% of residual percentage, the car price will be $20,357. And with $220 (including 8.1% of sale tax) monthly payment, the money factor will be about 0.000826.
So, I wonder if it's a good deal or not. Sounds to me is fair but dont know if this applies for a 06 Camry which is the last year model of this generation.
Thx. -
mi_sat Posts: 42I don't know about the payment specifics in your area, but the rate lease money factor, in my opinion, is just a way to confuse the prospective lessee. It's not nearly as mysterious as it may sound.
Here's the truth: Take the lease money factor, multiply by 2400, and you get the interest rate. So, a money factor of 0.00190 equates to an interest rate of 4.56% (0.00190 x 2400). -
lmacmil Posts: 1,756It's generally not a good idea to put money down on a lease. It has the benefit of reducing the payment but if the car should be wrecked (and totalled) before the end of the lease, you essentially lose whatever you put down.
Btw, the residual is always based on the MSRP, not what you actually pay for the car. Whatever price you negotiate below MSRP reduces your monthly payment. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi davidlni. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion on this deal if you let me know this car's selling price is.
One thing that I noticed about this lease is the large down payment that you are considering making. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your Camry would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put $2,500 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all. You can still trade in your Escort is you want to, just have the dealer cut you a check for it rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment on your lease.

jamu Posts: 2I have leased a 2006 camry for 36 months with trade in value of $3000 down. it has been only 2 months and i am willing to buy the car because of too many restrictions with leasing. what should i do to terminate and change to buying options. please advice me the right thing to do with this situation. i thank you in advance for all your help.
kyfdx Posts: 31,882Hi, jamu
It is usually very expensive to exit or buyout a lease before the term is up... If it is your intention to eventually own the car, why not just take the lease to the end of the term, and then purchase it?.. Assuming your lease terms were decent, it shouldn't cost any more to do it that way, than to buy it out now... and, may actually be cheaper..
If you purchase the car at the end of the lease, you won't be liable for any mileage or wear and tear charges.

jamu Posts: 2can i turn in the car and say i dont want this car. what are the advantage and disadvantage of getting rid of your lease completely. it has been less than 3 months of my purchase date. can i go to the dealer and tell them i dont want this car. would i be penalized for terminating the lease.
jaxs1 Posts: 2,697Does Toyota or other manufacturers have any lease programs for covering more than 15K miles per year at a lower cost than paying the 15 or 20 cent per mile mileage penalty for going over mileage or is it always better to purchase rather than lease if you are very likely to need to drive the vehicle over 15K miles per year?
I may be looking for a minimum of 20K miles per year and maybe 25K miles per year on a 2 or 3 year lease. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi jaxs1. The highest mileage allowance that Toyota Financial Services publishes residual values for is 15,000 miles per year. If you need to drive more than this, you will have to purchase additional miles on a per-mile basis. It is less expensive to do so at lease signing than it is to wait until lease-end and have to pay an excess mileage penalty. So the cost of each additional mile will probably be less than the $0.15 to $0.20 that you mentioned, but you will still have to pay on a per-mile basis.

Security Research project workshop reviews CBRN research innovation challenges for end-users; explores the EU's growing internal-external CBRN links Publicado em: 16/05/2013
The EU's efforts to promote consistent chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear (CBRN) counter-proliferation R&D both within and beyond the EU was the focus of diverse views of a recent Security Research workshop in Brussels. Discussion among its research participants was especially lively when considering how to fill the EU's future "external" CBRN research gaps with partner countries.
The topic's complexity was debated during a 25 April roundtable entitled, "The External Dimension of Security: EU Science and Technology". The event was organised by the Security Research project known as ARCHIMEDES.
A 36-month project launched in January 2012, ARCHIMEDES has a budget of EUR 1.54 million, of which the EU contributed 88 percent (EUR 1.35 million).
The workshop participants examined how the links between the EU's internal and external security prerogatives are growing. They pointed to the need for the EU's next seven-year research budget, known as Horizon 2020, to support more research into the internal-external security continuum.
One example of such a linkage is the EU's CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE) initiative. Launched in 2010 by the Commission's Joint Research Centre, the initiative is promoting international and regional strategies in CBRN risk mitigation via the creation of local CoEs across seven regions, ranging from North Africa and the Middle East to Eastern Europe and the Caucasus to Southeast Asia.
A Commission official at the roundtable explained that the mitigation initiative covers infrastructure, project funding and tools to help the regions implement national action programmes, and improve their awareness of CBRN issues. Its priorities are diverse: risk mitigation and preparedness relating to CBRN materials or agents, trafficking, terrorism and organised crime, threats to critical infrastructures and major public health and, finally, industrial and national disasters.
Participants at the ARCHIMEDES meeting warned, however, that the same fragmentation that dogs Europe's own CBRN research sector presents the same challenge for its CBRN research partners abroad. "You would need to gather them [the external CBRN experts] in one place to work together and tackle the issues by priority," said one researcher. "This would also help address the problem of standardisation."
Meanwhile, other participants called for better assessment of internal CBRN-related projects funded by the EU, arguing for more detailed evaluations of project results and how they could be applied in operational settings under different scenarios. "This would be extremely beneficial for end-users", said one Belgian researcher.
