New plant compounds in these healthy, cholesterol-lowering foods slash your risk of heart disease by 20 percent. What to buy and how to eat them.
Make room in your pantry for a new batch of disease-fighting products: foods fortified with sterols and stanols, plant compounds proven to protect your heart. Sterols and stanols are found naturally in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and oils. Adding 2 g of either to your daily diet can help lower your total cholesterol by about 10%--often within 2 weeks, according to numerous studies published in both American and European medical journals. That may not sound like a substantial reduction, but it could translate to a 20% lower risk of heart disease--which is the number one killer in the United States, says Joseph Keenan, MD, a professor of family medicine and a joint professor of food science and nutrition at the University of Minnesota.
Our primer will help you better understand how these unique compounds work, how they can protect your health, and the easiest way to incorporate them into your diet.
Why They're Making News
For more than 5 decades, scientists have known about the health benefits of these compounds, but natural foods don't provide a high enough concentration to budge your cholesterol. (A tablespoon of corn oil, the best natural source, has only 0.13 g of sterols; that's a long way to go to reach the recommended 2 g a day.) But in the 1980s, Finnish chemists found a way to extract the sterols and stanols from plants and add them to the fat in foods. These new compounds, called sterol and stanol esters, first cropped up in margarine-type spreads in 2000. Today, new technology allows researchers to extract them from different plants and fortify more foods--such as cheese, orange juice, breads, and milk. Popular sterol brands you'll find in foods include Cardio-Aid (made by food manufacturer Archer Daniels Midland) and Coro-Wise (made by Cargill). By next year, global market researchers predict sterol-fortified products will be a $250 million industry, nearly three times what it was when such products first hit supermarket shelves.
How Do They Work?
Plant sterols and stanols act very much like cholesterol itself: Soft and waxy, they serve as building blocks for hormones, vitamins, and cell walls. These structural similarities give them their cholesterol-lowering capabilities. As sterols travel through the digestive tract, they compete with cholesterol, so some of the sterols are absorbed into the bloodstream instead of artery-clogging cholesterol. The bonus: Studies show that sterols and stanols don't affect artery-protecting HDL cholesterol.
Who Needs Them?
Sterols are most helpful when your cholesterol levels are slightly high (200 to 239 total cholesterol, 130 to 159 LDL).
If your levels are substantially elevated (240 or higher total, 160 or higher LDL), your doctor will help determine if sterols, cholesterol-lowering medication (statins), or a combination of the two is best. Studies have shown that together, sterols and statins are more effective than taking a double dose of cholesterol-lowering medications, according to a report by researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. They're an especially good choice for avoiding drug side effects. "If one of my patients has a high LDL level but doesn't tolerate statin drugs well, I recommend plant sterols and plenty of fiber," says Arthur Agatston, MD, a preventive cardiologist and an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. If your cholesterol is healthy (less than 200 total, less than 100 LDL), adding sterols to your diet won't hurt, but the cholesterol reductions will not be as great, says Cyril Kendall, PhD, a research scientist at the University of Toronto who has studied plant sterols for the past 7 years.
Who should avoid them?
Scientists don't know if sterol- and stanol-fortified foods are safe for pregnant women and children, so it's best if these groups skip them altogether. Also important to note: Initial research indicates that sterols can interfere with the absorption of some carotenoids, such as beta-carotene, which your body uses to make vitamin A. If you eat sterols, include a few servings of vegetables rich in beta-carotene--such as carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, and dark leafy greens--to your diet once or twice a week to compensate, suggests Keenan.
How do you eat them?
Stick to 2 g a day; getting more may actually reduce the positive effects, says Kendall. And once you start eating sterol-fortified foods, don't stop--otherwise your LDL levels will head back up. Follow these guidelines: Split up your 2 g daily goal "Have about 1 g at breakfast, and then another at either lunch or dinner," says Keenan. This not only helps prevent absorption of the cholesterol in your meal but also blocks the cholesterol your body manufactures during digestion--which amounts to about 80% of your total count.

People and Statues on Beach
San Juan, Puerto Rico
1978, gelatin silver print, 11 1/2x7 7/8 in (Paper 14x11in)
Erwitt's initial voyage to Puerto Rico was fifty years ago when the photographer was called upon by one of the advertising industry's first Mad Men, David Ogilvy of Ogilvy & Mather, to capture the vibrancy and lifestyle of Puerto Rico through an artist's unique perspective. His photographs reflected contemporary life on the Islands and revealed character, depth of history and an unparalleled culture not found elsewhere in the Americas. These images created a ground breaking and aesthetically pleasing tourism advertising campaign, which not only increased travel to the islands, but also greatly impacted economic development.

Oscar Watch 2005: Predicting the Nominees
By Rex A. Okpodu
Hollywood is preparing for the annual film awards campaign season which begins in late November, right through to the Academy Award nominations in late January 2005, with the ceremony on February 27.
2004 has shaped up as a very interesting cinema year, with controversial films like The Passion of the Christ 'and Fahrenheit 9/11 dominating the box office thus far. In an election year and with the ongoing debate about same-sex marriage, there are bound to be a few feathers ruffled by the imminent release of some films with gay content or characters emerging as likely contenders for the awards next year.
Here is the buzz:
Best Picture
Alexander (Warner Bros)
Director Oliver Stone and costars Colin Farrell and Jared Leto previously indicated that there will be homoerotic relationships in the film'especially concerning Hephaestion, Alexander the Great's greatest love, and Bagoas, his Persian eunuch. The film is in post-production and it remains to be seen how it will all unfold considering that Warner Bros.' other offering, Troy, did not live up to critical expectations.
Other contenders:
The Aviator (Warner Bros.)
Finding Neverland (Miramax)
The Phantom of the Opera (Warner Bros.)
Closer (Columbia)
A Very Long Engagement (Warner Bros.)
The Passion of the Christ (Newmarket)
Spanglish (Columbia)
Longshot'Fahrenheit 9/11 (Miramax/Lion's Gate)
Best Director
Oliver Stone (Alexander)
Oliver Stone may not be consistently directing in Hollywood today, but if successful, Alexander may prove to be one of his greatest achievements.
Bill Condon (Kinsey)
A previous Oscar winner for Best Original Screenplay (1998's Gods and Monsters), Bill Condon is back this year with the eagerly awaited biopic on Alfred Kinsey (played by Liam Neeson). Kinsey was a pioneer in the area of human sexuality research whose 1948 bestseller Sexual Behavior in the Human Male was the first major work addressing sexual behavior in America.
Richard Eyre (Stage Beauty)
Britain's famed theater director could be nominated for helming this comedy set in the 1600s when only men were allowed to play female roles on the stage.
Other contenders:
Martin Scorsese (The Aviator)
Marc Foster (Finding Neverland)
Mel Gibson (The Passion of the Christ)
Jeff Nathanson (The Last Shot)
Michael Mann (Collateral)
Mira Nair (Vanity Fair)
John Madden (Proof)
Mike Leigh (Vera Drake)
Longshot'Pedro Almodovar (Bad Education)
Best Actor
Liam Neeson (Kinsey)
A previous nominee for Schindler's List (1992), Neeson plays the title role in the aforementioned biopic about the life of Alfred Kinsey. Hollywood loves this genre and Neeson is picking up a lot of buzz for his performance. The subject matter of this film is bound to court controversy, especially from the right wing press looking to score some points against Hollywood.
Colin Farrell (Alexander)
Farrell, Hollywood's enfant terrible, has been on the radar since Tigerland, (2000) and this film with its bisexual overtones could get the gay friendly vote and lead to a nomination.
Billy Crudup (Stage Beauty)
Hollywood likes a stretch and Beauty could be this year's Shakespeare in Love. Edward 'Ned' Kynaston (Crudup) is England's most celebrated leading lady, using his beauty and skill to make great female roles his own.
Gael Garcia Bernal (Bad Education) or (The Motorcycle Diaries)
He is the hottest international star at the moment out with two prestige films this season.
Other contenders:
Jeff Bridges (Door in the Floor)
Jim Carrey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)
Leonardo DiCaprio (The Aviator)
Johnny Depp (Finding Neverland)
James Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ)
Tom Cruise (Collateral)
Bill Murray (The Life Aquatic)
Jamie Foxx (Ray)
Javier Bardem (Mar Adentro or The Sea Within)
Longshot'Kevin Kline (De Lovely)
Kline already has an Oscar, but his performance as the bisexual Cole Porter is the kind of star turn the Academy goes for, even when a film has not been commercially successful.

Mothballs have long been used as a fumigant to drive off pests such as mice and silverfish, or to kill cloth-destroying moths and their larvae. Naphthalene was the most common primary ingredient of mothballs. Because of its flammability Naphthalene has been largely replaced with para-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) – commonly used in urinal cakes for toilets. It also helps fight against moulds and mildew.
Both chemicals have a pungent smell, are highly volatile but will eventually evaporate away at room temperature. Naphthalene mothballs can take many months while p-DCB usually evaporates away within a month.
Although paradichlorobenzene does break down in about a month, it still can be harmful. From Wikipedia: The US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that p-DCB may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen, although there is no direct evidence. Animals given very high levels in water developed liver and kidney tumors.
We have customers who have battled attic odors. In one case the homeowners had mice problems so the exterminators suggested mothballs. You guessed it. After driving off the mice the attic filled up with mothball odor which ended up permeating the entire house. Mothball odor is a common complaint for attics.
How to Remove Mothball Odor
If you can, first remove the mothballs. Coconut activated charcoal will effectively remove mothball odor, but it will not entirely eliminate the odor until the mothballs have been removed or until they have completely evaporated away. The activated charcoal works by adsorbing the chemical odor to itself. As a mothball slowly evaporates away the charcoal will continue to adsorb the odor, but it has no effect on the mothball itself. Eventually the mothball will shrink away completely. Only then will the activated charcoal be able to capture the last remaining vapors and totally eliminate the odor. Finding and eliminating the mothballs as soon as you can will dramatically speed up the process.
The two main factors to eliminating the mothball odor are time and air circulation. The above customer did report that the charcoal did help to control the mothball smell but the odor did linger for some time. The main reason is lack of air movement in an attic or other confined space.
Activated charcoal is used in thousands of different industrial air filtering applications, but they all use some form of air movement over or through a bed of granular charcoal or activated carbon cloth (ACC).
So, for mothball odors in a closed air space such as an attic, by far the fastest and most efficient way to capture the existing odor of mothballs and keep up with the generation of more odor is an air purifier that quietly draws in the pungent air through one end and pumps clean air out the other. We highly recommend the AllerAir 5000 EXEC Air Purifier.
The next best solution is to buy a high activity coconut granular charcoal. The customer above did say it worked well but it took some time because there was no air circulation in the attic. We recommend our Pure Non-Scents®. You can place it on flat trays around the attic or tie it up in sachets and hang them from the rafters. They will work better if you can place a fan in the attic to help move the air.
Remember, the coconut charcoal will only absorb the odor, it does not get rid of the source. Only sometime after the mothballs have completely evaporated away, will the charcoal be able to eliminate the odor completely.
Whether it is attics and mice, sweaters in trunks, suits in garment bags, or cars in storage, the main solution to controling the odor of mothballs is coconut activated charcoal.
As a substitute for mothballs when storing clothing items maybe try cedar balls.
Eliminate hundreds of odors completely, including cigarrette odor, perfumes, mothballs, pet odor, chemical cleaners, fridge odors, skunk, and worse, with virgin activated coconut charcoal. Charcoal House LLC Brand Product.

I thought I'd try here first before posting in the lighting forum. I have a basic black 6 arm chandelier over the kitchen table. We installed Utilitech Pro LED bulbs 3.5 W with 130 Lumens - dimmable. I think we got them at Lowes. Anyway, we've lived with them for a while, but have determined that they aren't bright enough for us. I've kept the bulbs bare, but eventually want to put shades over for a decorative look. Before I go out and spend another mini fortune on new bulbs, are there any that are brighter than this? The space isn't huge and has 4 windows, but still it's the darkest part of the kitchen. Help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have you considered the good old incandescent? We have two chandeliers w/dimmers in our house that use the candle-type bulbs. I have stock-piled a stash of the incandescent type. The are still found in stores, and come (came) in 25w as well as 40w. |
I appreciate the suggestion about the incandescents, but I'd rather not have years worth of bulbs stashed away. We've had CFL's in the past, but I hate that they take a while to warm up. I really like the LED's, it's just that they don't seem bright enough. I've checked out other manufacturers and did find some bulbs that are around 140 lumens. I may just bite the bullet and buy them. At around $90 for bulbs, it is a bit hard to swallow. I'm not sure if it will yield that much of a difference. DH and I have talked about this problem and are seriously considering another option. We're going to have our windows in the dining nook replaced. This will raise the level of the bottom sill so we can build in a window seat. Right now the sill is about 6" off the ground. While this is open, we're going to see if we can extend power for sconces on either side of the large center window. Ironically, the cost for two single arm sconces is about $60. We already have the wiring and electrical stuff from the recessed lights we installed. Here's a pic of the window. It's a very old picture from our original demo and temp kitchen setup. I have flooring guys working in there now and can't snap a new picture with the new chandelier without getting in the way. Potential Sconce |

Our passionate purpose is to help our clients build better companies with greater value and to help them execute their right strategy – their central idea that evolves thru changing circumstances. Here are what our clients are saying:
Food Bank of South Jersey – Pennsauken, NJ
Val Traore, CEO
"Other than the plan to start our nonprofit 30 years ago, the organization has never engaged in extensive strategic planning. The thought of the work that goes into planning overwhelmed us, but then we found David Carter and he turned out to be one of the best decisions we made that year. David introduced us to a new way of thinking about our business and from that new perspective we found ourselves doing more "thinking out of the box" visioning and planning than we had done in a long time.
His advice was always insightful and measured –ever being mindful that we were the drivers of our plan. He taught us a key analysis system of " Stop, Start and Keep". Simple phraseology but meaningful results! At the end of the process we ended with a phenomenal one-page three year strategic plan that we successfully executed one year ahead of schedule. David is a masterful communicator, knowledgeable, funny and very personable which are important characteristics to have in a consultant when working on long term projects like strategic planning. It was a pleasure working with him!
County House Research, Inc. – Philadelphia, Northeast US
Barak Zimmerman, Founder/President
My company and I have been working with David Carter for a number of years now. He has helped us to establish a more strategic approach to our business, to plan better, and to achieve our business goals. Last year, we achieved a 20% growth rate, which is due in part to the management techniques we have developed with David. I know that I echo the sentiments of all the members of my company's leadership team when I say that David has helped us improve our business processes in ways that we didn't imagine possible. On a personal level, I have learned an immense amount from David's coaching. With every planning session or retreat, I get the sense that David is invested completely in me and my company's success.
Valtech Corporation – Pottstown, PA / Shanghai, China
Robert Girard, Vice President
David has worked very closely with our management team to develop a strategic plan for our global specialty chemical business. Most importantly he has been critical to ensuring these plans are executed and he holds senior management accountable to making difficult decisions. Through his efforts and coaching our management team has achieved a rhythm that has allowed us to accomplish the items we identified as critical to achieving our goals. Our management team is now more cohesive and we are truly focused on the right things and getting them done.
Chemical Publishing Co., Inc. – Boston, MA
Ben Carr, President
David provided a unique and solid approach in helping us understand the different components that make up our business and our individual business drivers within the STM (Scientific Technical Medical) Publishing Market.
After helping us identify areas in which we needed to realign our core strategies, he was able to help us set up a program to clearly identify exactly what our customers wanted and how we could go about delivering it to them in the best way for both our business and our customers.
The result was a subtle shift, but one that ultimately led to a more symbiotic relationship between our business goals and our customers needs. Something we may have never discovered on our own without the guidance of David's well thought out process of finding a company's strong suits and leveraging them to gain faster growth and greater profitability.
I highly recommend David's services to any business that wishes to prosper in these tough economic times.
doeLegal, LLC – Wilmington, DE
Tom Russo, President
We are a 40 year old technology company that has had fair success over the years, and I wanted to move my company to the next level. I sought out an expert, and came across David.
David has created a forever, game changing difference in my business. He carefully moved our management team of five, through a rigorous, introspective process…forcing us to define and set visions, goals and processes to paper.
But as we moved through our process, we had multiple "oh, I get it" moments. And we have begun to employ the efforts that David wrung out of us in everything we plan, discuss or strive to achieve. I believe this exercise was probably the biggest single turning point of our 40 year history. David dug deep into the psyche of our company through the process and clearly understood everything about us…and he had the nerve and audacity to direct our internal differences and doubt…and channel them into productive discovery moments.
It has been a game changer for us. Trust me, however, when I say, you will come out from this exercise with a clearer vision of what you can achieve and with the tools of how to achieve them. I would highly recommend David to work with your team on this task.
Bergey's Truck Centers – Franconia, PA
Mark Bergey, President
Teresa C. Flowers, Director of Business Processes
We recently contacted David Carter to facilitate our senior management team in developing short-term and long-term strategic plans and an overall future market footprint. Before the first all-day work session, David spent considerable time preparing us by asking insightful questions, making reading recommendations, and ensuring the scope of our work was in line with the company's vision. He prepared himself by familiarizing himself with both our company and our industry.
The actual work session exceeded the senior management team's expectations by how clear our strategy became as the day progressed and the level of collective and individual accountability we built into the implementation phase.
We already have David scheduled to work with us to further develop our long-term strategic plan. He is professional and focused with exemplary facilitation skills. We would recommend him without qualification.
Shingle and Gibb Company – Moorestown, NJ
Brian S. Lepsis, Chief Executive Officer
David, I wanted to send you a quick Thank You for all of the guidance, insight and energy you have given us over the past six months.
As a result of our working together, our internal communications are better than they have ever been, everyone in the Company knows what our most important collective goals are, and even more importantly they know how their individual activities contribute toward those goals.
The practices you helped us initiate, as well as the Core Values you helped us articulate, will be of great benefit to us (and our Customers) as we continue to accelerate our growth.
Delco Development, LLC – Willingboro, NJ
John Moser, Senior Vice President
When David returned for a review session following our strategic planning retreat, our leadership team realized we have seen a complete change in the direction of our company.
We are not the same company as we were four months ago. Physically, yes it is the same, but directionally David has given us a lot of focus.
I liked that he was able to jog us along. He asked us pointed questions that we needed to answer collectively to get us going in the direction that we needed. I highly recommend David to work with you and your leadership team.
ZOG Inc. – Greater Philadelphia
Mat Zoglio, President/CEO
David has a detailed and thorough approach of getting your business focus and clarity into an action plan. Whether you are starting without a plan or have a plan in place, David will take that starting place and walk you through the steps of digging deeper and adding clarity to the vision of your company. With his business knowledge and methodical business review format, you walk away with each area within your organization better with his methodologies. I highly recommend David to anyone looking to scale their business.
Floor Works – Southeast Pennsylvania
Kathleen Streb , President/CEO
We worked with David to help grow our company. In the early stages of our work together, it was clear that he would be an invaluable resource in helping us cover the fundamental steps of starting a small business. Over a period of time, he definitely helped us put those building blocks in place. More important however, is that as he learned about our business and our style, he also became a trusted adviser who helped us in many different ways. I highly recommend David to any growing business that is looking for a business coach who goes beyond the fundamentals.
Hoffman Design Group – Greater Philadelphia
Bryan Hoffman, President
David visited our Horticultural Design Center & Holiday Showroom with the sole intention of helping us create a one phrase strategy for the company. Our team found David very engaging and easy to work with. We were energized by the outcome of a successful day and use our new strategic rally cry in our everyday work. We would like to thank David for his wisdom and support, and we look forward to working with him again!
P. Agnes, Inc. – Greater Philadelphia
Pat Pasquariello, Vice President & Principal
David, as we conclude our current sessions, I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for your expertise. Your coaching has had a huge affect on how I look at business and on P. Agnes Inc. in general. Perhaps the most beneficial lesson is the concept of working ON my business in lieu of just working IN my business. I was particularly impressed with the number of "Blinding Flashes of the Obvious" that you brought to my attention. There were many things that I found myself saying, "Why didn't I think of that?" Much of what you taught me really was extremely obvious and, as I found out, necessary to the success of P. Agnes.
Although I have always set goals, you showed me how to create S.M.A.R.T. goals which are much more meaningful, and have more "teeth". By setting in motion my reticular activator, I will be able to chart a path for myself and for P. Agnes that will be financially rewarding for years to come. Thank you for all of your efforts in making me a better, more complete businessman. I have found not only a business coach, but also a friend.
LANsultants, Inc. – Greater Philadelphia
John S. Miller, President
LANsultants, Inc. has grown dramatically. I am not sure which measurement is most meaningful, but with your assistance we have successfully increased our staff size by 35%, our facility size by 86%, revenues by 30%, in the midst of implementing more formal management structure, developed new strategic partnerships, and new business lines. You have also been instrumental in assisting us in analyzing our existing customers to determine who our profitable and non-profitable clients are. What was most interesting with this last item was that we had the raw data all along, but without having someone to report to I would have never prioritized or allocated sufficient time and effort to complete this task. David, again, on behalf of the owners and staff of LANsultants, Inc. thanks for your assistance. Any prospective client can contact me at any time.
Ragtops & Roadsters – Philadelphia, Tri-State Area
Michael Engard, President
David, I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks again for all your help with our business, Ragtops & Roadsters. Your insight and knowledge has had a tremendous impact on our bottom line. Income is up, expenses are under control and profits are better then they've ever been.
The financial issue is where we started, but your savvy guidance and eager comprehension of our unique business situation has helped us to enable controlled growth that has seen improvements in every facet of the business. Marketing is accurately targeted and we know that we have a competitive edge in our industry. With your help we have created a happier and more productive workplace with employees who are truly engaged and willingly contribute to our combined success. Your assistance and direction during the creation of our Operations Plan and Budget proved invaluable and deeply appreciated.
Most importantly your involvement has given me the confidence and knowledge I need to successfully grow the business to the next level.
UJMN Architects + Designers – Greater Philadelphia & Pittsburgh
Robert W. McCauley, AIA, Principal
David Carter brought new insights and provided practical techniques to enable our firm to achieve long term strategic goals and to strengthen our firm's team approach. I feel confident that our firm will benefit from these business planning efforts for many years into the future."

WASHINGTON, D.C., February 12, 2013 - Bill Maher insulted Donald Trump, and indirectly, perhaps The Donald's parents, by publicly questioning Donald's birth origin.
Donald and his attorney, Scott Balber, insulted all of us, and the legal system, when a contract-based lawsuit was filed against Maher.
You would think they would have considered a defamation lawsuit, if for only a split second.
Maher said he would give Trump $5 Million if Trump could prove he isn't the "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan."
In October, 2012, Donald offered President Obama $5 Million, payable to the charity of Obama's choice, if Obama would turn over his college transcripts and passport records. The next day, the President joked on Jay Leno's show that Trump's feud with him began when both men were "growing up" in Kenya. Barbara Walters thereafter told Trump from her seat on The View that he was making a fool of himself.
Maher says his comment was a joke. His audience laughed. Is there anybody who can seriously suggest Maher was doing anything other than mocking Trump's offer to President Obama and making a joke? Trump's britches apparently rode up too high and strangled his brain upon hearing Maher's comment.
As an attorney, I feel an ethical obligation to represent the cause of justice. I want to have a feeling that I am using my time, skill, education, experience and talent, and the court system, to right a wrong. Clearly there are many cases where the definition of justice can be debated. There are also many attorneys who lose track of seeking justice when a big dollar sign emerges. How Mr. Balber determined there was a wrong perpetrated and that our court system is the appropriate place to address that wrong is beyond me.
A lawsuit that claims breach of contract must establish three things:
- An offer took place;
- An acceptance of the offer took place;
- There was consideration.
Here, Maher's "offer" to pay the $5 Million cannot realistically be considered to be a serious willingness to give Trump the money if Trump can prove his father was not an orangutan.
As far as the "acceptance," Trump, I would guess, somehow proved his dad was a human. I didn't catch the news on that item. I'll assume it with absolute certainty.
Consideration in the law means a price is paid for the promise of the other party. The price must be something of value, and it need not be money. Consideration can be a right, interest or benefit going to one of the parties, or some forbearance, detriment, or loss. The adequacy of consideration is rarely challenged, thus agreeing to give you a candy bar if you paint my entire house would be considered crazy by most, but would be legally sufficient as consideration. Perhaps it was a really good candy bar.
What consideration is Maher ostensibly getting here? Satisfaction of worldwide acknowledgment of Trump's dad being human? Satisfaction of Trump responding?
In 2010 I had a radio show. Listeners would call in with legal questions. When there were no callers I would make comment on the legal implications of things in the news. During that summer Lindsay Lohan was constantly in the news. I abhorred talking about her, because it fueled publicity for her to whomever may have been listening, and tacitly suggested that her foibles and legal troubles were worth comment. I always ended my discussions about her by telling my listeners "this is what not to do."
Here is an example of what not to do. Do not file a lawsuit because someone makes a joke that has zero effect on you, your world or your business.
Our court system is the best in the world. It handles cases of all sizes and mostly assists the parties in resolving their differences. In some circles, critics will talk about "frivolous" lawsuits and offer that these "clog up the system."
The description of a lawsuit as being frivolous comes courtesy of so called "tort-reformers" who want to brainwash potential jurors and whom are mostly big businesses not interested in taking responsibility for the harms and losses they cause. Representative "tort-reform" groups are insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies and tobacco companies. Truly "frivolous" lawsuits are few in number and once discovered as having no merit, they are routinely dismissed well before a trial wastes the time of a judge or jury. The concept of "clogging up the court system" is equally very much overstated.
Trump's lawsuit will be tossed out. He continues to be an embarrassment with his actions and words. If you are reading this Donald, this is my opinion; leastwise you might sue me for slander. Wait, truth is a defense to slander.
My issue here is to publicly scold Trump's attorney. Donald is a shameless publicist. His attorney here exercised some very bad judgment and advanced a ridiculous legal theory. Again, MAYBE a defamation case… if Donald can put on his poker face and tell us he was injured by Maher's comment.

The teaser of Ajith's upcoming flick Billa 2 has taken Youtube by a storm.
The teaser has been trending right from the moment it appeared on Youtube and it is on its way to create a record of sorts as far as Tamil films are concerned. The official teaser has received over 4 million views since April 13, when it was first unveiled, with the comments space being filled with hundreds of pages of comments.
Billa 2, the prequel to Ajith's superhit Billa (a remake of the Rajinikanth starrer of the same name which itself was a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Don), tells the story of how David, an ordinary man became the much-feared international don Billa. The film stars Parvathy Omanakuttan and Bruna Abdullah as the leading ladies and Vidyut Jamwal (of Force fame) as the antagonist.

Any one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that may occur alternatively at a given site on a chromosome. Alleles may occur in pairs, or there may be multiple alleles affecting the expression of a particular trait. If paired alleles are the same, the organism is said to be homozygous for that trait; if they are different, the organism is heterozygous. A dominant allele will override the traits of a recessive allele in a heterozygous pairing (see dominance and recessiveness). In some traits, alleles may be codominant (i.e., neither acts as dominant or recessive). An individual cannot possess more than two alleles for a given trait. All genetic traits are the result of the interactions of alleles.

Guest - Cari Kelley
What's an administrative assistant doing on a leadership blog?
While my team is GREAT about telling me how important I am to them and how much they appreciate all I do, I still find myself questioning my worth because I'm almost 40 and I don't have one of the "important" jobs. I just do all the boring stuff so that "they" can do the real ministry. True? No, of course not. Nine days out of ten I remember, but that one day…
I need to remember that God equipped ME to do these things, and do them well. I remind myself of these things:
- Recognize the importance and need for support in ministry. Leaders cannot do it all without being supported administratively and prayerfully.
- Never underestimate the necessity of the "menial" tasks. Without administrative support, the paper would pile up, neglected; no one would answer the phone calls of people with questions or needs; ministry leaders would have tons of ideas that were never executed—in short, business would come to a screeching halt.
- Lead UP. Higher level leadership has altitude…they see the big picture, but you can see things that they may never see. Don't be afraid to offer your perspective.

I am interested in lighting by Justice Design Group.. Just wondering if anyone has heard of them, bought their products, have any info. regarding the company?
Thanks- |

gillylilly, Justice Design is a fine lighting company. They have been around for many, many years. I sold them for at leat 25 years in the showroom and I do still represent them. I don't have much listed on the web site but I use them a lot in my consulting business. Very versatile and good quality. Let me know what you are looking and for and I will be glad to help you out. email@example.com |
Thanks ginger. I have been agonizing about kitchen lights to match my transitional kitchen and found these lights. All of the lighting i was looking at seemed to have fabric shades which is not a viable option for a house full of children, dogs and the occasional cooking splatter and I think these justice lights give me that look with less maintenance.. Thanks for giving me some reassurance for my choice!!! |

The Porcelain shades are beautiful. One word of caution, the material is very matte and porous finish that could stain if splattered with anything greasy. Otherwise just a dusting and careful washing occasionally would keep them clean. You can email me your model number if you need a price or perhaps you have a good showroom in your area. |
Gingr LIght- Thanks for your feedback. I actually went to see the Justice lights live today and although I really liked them, I am afraid they will get destroyed in my home with two small girls. Spaghetti and most recently bubble gum pink anti-biotics tend to end up in the most bizarre places and I am terribly concerned those lights will be destroyed.. I was wondering if you could help recommend a light for over my kitchen table that would look good with these hinkley lights...Thanks for your help! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Hinkley Island Pendant lights
Gillylily -- Looking at the styles you have linked, I think you'd enjoy at least looking at what Rejuvenation Lighting has to offer. They provide semi-custom options for "historically correct" lighting (and some hardware as well) for Victorian through the Atomic Age and the quality of their pieces continues to impress me. Shades, finishes, and installed length are all standard options. Their prices are, in my opinion, very reasonable, comparable to many "stock" fixtures. |

Chelsea Gallery Diner
Chelsea Gallery Diner
72 7th Ave, New York 10011
(Btw 14th & 15th St)
When I get a craving and there's no White Castle around, I'll settle for burger and fries at a diner. Something happy and magical about a diner that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe because it's loaded with fattening comfort food that sends me into a trans-like ecstasy mode. Yeah that's it.
This diner is on the outskirts of Chelsea Village, literally blocks from the bf's work site. When you know the restaurant isn't trendy, or the waiters aren't gay, you know you're no longer in the heart of the rich Chelsea village.
Anyways, after when I pick up the king after work, we walked around to find a place that's not too pricy and not too dingy, cause you know you get for you pay. So ultimately we settled for this joint.
As I walk in, I can't help but notice that maybe there's some kind of early bird special because all the old people in nyc are sitting right in my face. There are a sprinkle of young, my age, gay and lesbian couples here and there, but majority of them are old. They're eating eating along, or they came with their girlfriends and families to chat. Not that I have a problem with that, it's just a new experience that's all. I thought I was at the old folk's home or something. Let me tell you, this is certainly not a trendy place. The audience here is mainly caucasian, especially when I went there. But the people here are friendly and the staff are super cool.
The waiter, who's pretty old himself asked us what we wanted to drink to start off first. Nothing goes down better with fries than a nice ice cup of pepsi. After I got my drink, I knew what I wanted to get.
Mushroom Burger!
Price: $6.25
I didn't want to order something too heavy and I always think putting mushrooms into anything makes it healthy. I know it's not, but as long as I dam well feel it is, then it is!
I forget that at a diner you have to essentially build your own burger. I kind of wished I didn't have to because I'm such a lazy ass, and also because I think it's better built because it can have all sorts of juicy sauces in it. This lacked that sauce. This isn't your fancy smanchy high-scale diner joint; this place serves it to you the good ol fashion way — you build it and you can add ketchup, mustard, salt and/or pepper.
The french fries are the best. It just hits my sweet spot. That doesn't mean to say that I'll settle for any fry — I have to have a french fry that is crispy and golden on the outside, and soft hot on the inside. This fry wasn't too thin or thick which is just the way I like it. I didn't need to put any salt on this because it's perfectly salted, but my bf only because he's a salt-maniac!
The burger is very bland and dry especially if you don't add condiments. I wish they made a special sauce with this burger, but at least the beef patty itself isn't too dry.
Recommended – Only if you love mushrooms on your burgers!
Rating: 3/5
Bacon Cheeseburger w/ onion rings
Price: $6.75
Without repeating myself, all I can say about this burger that my bf ordered is that there's bacon and lots of it. I love bacon and it makes anything taste great. I wished I ordered a side of bacons with my burger, shoot. I like my burger loaded with ketchup and a little of mustard like on my hot dog. Without it, your mouth is going to be bored sheitless, believe me. The only thing exciting on these burger plates are your side orders — in this case, onion rings which was crispy and somewhat golden on the outside, and sweet on the inside, which was somewhat the way I wanted it to be.
Recommended: Yes
My Rating: 3.5/5

A Romance with Indonesian Cooking
A few months ago, we received an email from one of our former design interns, Lilian Liem. She got in touch to see if we'd be free to meet up with her mother, who was planning a visit to Hong Kong from Melbourne, where they are based. We sat down with Irene one day last November and a very interesting conversation ensued. She introduced the cookbook, "A Romance with Indonesian Cooking" that she wrote, and designed with Lilian's help.
The hardcover book, is beautifully designed and tells the story of their family and how Irene's late husband, Dr. Liem, loved to cook. When he passed away, Irene spent every day for a year, in the kitchen, cooking his recipes from her memory, as he had never written any of them down and invited their friends over to share stories, and to taste his cooking. We decided that afternoon to see how we could promote the book, and we began a dialogue to put together a small event and host a lunch for friends in Hong Kong.
The result of a few months planning and numerous email exchanges resulted in three days of shopping, preparation — chopping vegetables, making spring rolls and grilling satays ahead of the cooking demonstration and lunch on Sunday April 14th. The lunch featured recipes from the cookbook. Guests arrived at Salon No. 10 and enjoyed a casual lunch with dishes such as Gado Gado (mixed vegetable salad and peanut sauce), Bakmie Goreng (Dr. Liem's Hokkien noodles), Babi Kecap (Braised pork in sweet soy sauce) and Sayur Asam (Sour Vegetable Soup). It was a lovely way to spend a Sunday.
Special thanks to Paola and Ignacio of Tangram, and to Alex and Ellis of Moustache for their support and enthusiasm for this event. Thanks as well to all our friends and guests who attended the lunch. We hope you enjoyed it!
A Romance with Indonesian Cooking is a mother and daughter collaboration. Together they used their writing, photography and design to capture the story of two people: Irene, the mother, and Dr BK Liem, the (late) husband and father, whose love of good food, and love of each other, inspired them to cook and present the dishes they loved. Irene' and BK's pathways may have been different but it was the human spirit and determination that made their respective dreams come true.
The book comes in two parts, the first detailing Dr Liem's family history and his journey from his humble beginnings in Indonesia, through to communist China during the Cultural Revolution and finally, to starting a new life as a practising doctor in Australia. The second part relates how Irene, his wife from Hong Kong, who did not know how to cook Indonesian dishes, attempted and succeeded in bringing alive the much loved recipes he cooked for his family and friends.
A Romance with Indonesian Cooking — What Dr Liem Ate at Home by Irene Liem. Design and photography by Lilian Liem @2012
We have limited copies of the book for sale at the studio. If anyone is interested in purchasing a book (HK$250), please contact us at email@example.com for more information and details.

Maybe on the next edition of ''Project Greenlight,'' whenever the fragile egos of the producers, actors, and fledgling filmmakers get bruised, James Lipton can come by and soothe them. The fawning ''Inside the Actor's Studio'' host now shares a network with the behind-the-movie-camera reality series. Bravo announced Wednesday that it's the new home of ''Project Greenlight,'' after the show's two seasons on HBO.
Earlier reports had suggested that HBO was passing on the series because colorful producer Chris Moore wasn't going to be part of the make-your-own-movie contest anymore. According to Wednesday's announcement, however, Moore will be back judging the entries, along with his producing partners, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, though he won't appear on camera as much during the shoot of the winning film.
Shooting will take place later this year, with the series airing in 2005. Also, the ''Greenlight'' team are looking specifically for a horror film this year, which would probably be a lot more lucrative at the box office than coming-of-age tales that marked the first two seasons. Details about contest rules and deadlines will be published soon at the ''Project Greenlight'' website.

I purchased a batch of Magnolia Grandiflora seeds back in January. I live in a suburb of Seattle and we experience Zone 8 conditions during winter with extended springs. I planted the seeds outside in late January at the same time I planted a few more in a pot on a southern exposure windowsill. In early February, I planted a few more seeds in one of those mini-greenhouses. None of the seeds have germinated as yet. I did not expect the seeds planted outside to sprout, but I am surprised that even the ones indoors (in warm humid conditions) have failed to show any progress. Is the success rate with Magnolia seeds very low? How long can I expect seeds to take to germinate? The seeds were purchased from a seller on Amazon who claims that they were pre-stratified. I did not stratify or scarify them, just plugged them into pots and/or seed starting mixture. |
Follow-Up Postings:
According to the Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation, you can either stratify for 3 months at 40 degrees, or plant as is and expect to take 4 months for germination. Al |
With fresh seeds (aril removed and planted approx. two weeks of harvesting) I had 1 in 3 germination and it took 3 and half months indoors over winter months (October '10 to January '11). I have some seedlings emerging even now - that is 6 months. I am in the UK so same hardiness zone as yours probably. Seeds were given a gentle file with a nail filer and planted 1 cm deep in multipurpose compost mixed with sand and grit. They were watered well and then covered with cling film over the top and left on a bright window sill. I didn't try any seeds direct outdoors. I watered sparingly if the compost looked dry. So may be you need to wait. Hope this is of help. |

jinginuk: Good to know, that helps a lot. No germination for me yet, but it has been just over 2.5 months or so for the ones indoors. I have been remiss on keeping the humidity and moisture levels high for the seeds, so I do not expect them to germinate after all - but you never know. How is the growth rate of the seedlings for you after germination? |
Worthwhile to wait and see - best of luck. The stem of the seedlings measures between 3 to 4cm with healthy leaves (4-6)on top. Once the seedling hit the cling film I put the pot into a plastic bag tied at the top but still on the window sill as it was wnter. My impression (just 2nd time I've tried growing a tree from seed) was that they seemed to grow to 4 leaf stage quite fast and then slowed down. I have recently moved them out to an unheated greenhouse as there was a short spell of warm weather. But it has gone cooler so I think they might slow down even more as that's their permanent home now. |

Is Norwex a Scam? Debunking Myths and Settling Your Concerns
It is crazy to me how often I get asked "is Norwex a scam?" The answer is the same every time – No, Norwex is not a scam.
Norwex is a direct sales company that operates similar to Avon or Tupperware, selling legitimate and high-quality retail products to consumers. In this post I will outline the details of how Norwex operates and what you should know if you are concerned with the legitimacy of the company background.
Scam Concern 1
Norwex Is a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Company
Once I began selling Norwex, I realized a lot of people dislike multi-level marketing companies. I don't know if they picture me knocking on their front door in the middle of family dinner to try and convince them to buy some microfiber cloths, but that's not how I operate! If you are worried a multi-level company is a scam or trying to rip you off, here are a few things to consider:
- Are the products high quality and in high demand?
- Are they fairly and competitively priced?
- Do sellers have to put money toward the company before any chance of making a profit?
- Do the sellers enjoy buying and using the products for their own good and not only as part of the gig?
As you already know, I first received a Norwex cloth as a gift and was hooked on their products long before I became a distributor. It wasn't until I realized I was telling all my friends and family about the products and even conducting demonstrations in my own home that I considered selling them myself.
When you become a Norwex distributor, all you have to do is either purchase the starter kit yourself ($59.95), or receive it for free and agree to sell at least $2,000 worth of products in the first three months. It's completely up to you how you choose to get started, and you're receiving all the products and business manuals, guides, forms, and catalogs you need to become a successful seller. You can either purchase the kit outright, or get it for free and use that as motivation to get some parties booked and start selling. If you don't sell at least $2,000 in the first three months, you are billed $200, which is still less than the cost of everything you receive.
Scam Concern 2
But what about Norwex prices?
Another complaint I hear quite often is that the prices are a little high, with many people assuming they are raised to go toward bonuses for consultants and home party hostesses. I am not on the financial or corporate end of Norwex so I don't have any sort of top-secret information on what they do with their finances, but I do know that consultants and home parties are where Norwex advertising dollars go; right back into the customers and consultants. Norwex does not pay millions for TV ads, billboards, or magazine pages; instead, that money is invested in home parties, incentives for the consultants to work toward specific goals, and new gifts, perks, and products for party hostesses and customers. The MLM method used by Norwex is not a scam, it is a tried and true method that is proven effective in selling our amazing cleaning products.
Home parties provide far more value to the customer AND the company than an infomercial or billboard.
Secondly, you may also remember reading about the Norwex factory in China. The extra money you are spending on a Norwex microfiber cloth that cleans your home for 2 or more years goes toward making sure factory workers in China are being paid fair wages. We are so used to getting quality products for the cheapest price possible, and this mentality has led to the exploitation of many overseas factory workers without us even realizing it. That is the difference between a Norwex cloth and a basic microfiber cloth you will find for a couple bucks at the local grocery store. It's one way of greening up your cleaning routine while having a positive impact on laborers around the world.
Scam Concern 3
The Norwex products couldn't possibly work as well as I've heard.
On a final note, Norwex is most definitely not a scam because we offer high-quality, in-demand products that work. If you've ever tried one of our products or seen a live demonstration from a party consultant, you know that Norwex products do exactly what they say. I am not trying to make a quick buck by selling you a product that doesn't work – I am sharing my passion for environmentally friendly home care as well as tried and true methods I use to keep my home and kids safe and healthy. I want the same for you!
What's scammy about that?

I started selling Norwex a few months ago after attending one of my friends parties. I was pretty skeptical at first, but I really think the products speak for themselves. I had no intention of selling Norwex, but then I started just so I could get more free products. Now I sell it because I want to help my friends and family clean without using all of those harmful chemicals found in normal cleaning products. If you are skeptical, you should really give it a try!
It's recommended that Norwex cloths be washed with non lint laundry like sheets or jeans, but I don't want to wash my colored sheets or jeans in hot water. I've been washing my cloths by themselves but this doesn't seem very cost effective or good for the environment in terms of electricity and water use.
I thought of washing them with t-shirts, but they've got to have more lint than jeans or sheets and I'm afraid that if I always wash my cloths with t-shirts lint will build up in them. Any ideas? -
I love all the norwex products and became a consultant so I could buy the products cheaper. I actually started sharing this amazing product with friends and family thus, a business has opened its door for me. This is what I do to get my towels clean. I put all my microfibers in a large pot of boiling water with a scoop of the norwex laundry detergent and stir for 10 minutes. The water will become brown. The bacteria and grime in the microfiber is release by the hot water and soap. Simply rinse the soap out of the microfiber. I have used this method on my mop pads and enviro towels, and it is like new. You will be amazed at how it removes the deep embedded stains out too. I think everyone should be doing this once every 4 to 6 weeks, and washing the them in the laundry other week

Internet giant Yahoo on Thursday announced the launch of a cricket app for Windows Phone users in India.
The app, available for free on the Windows marketplace offers a slew of features and user-friendly interaction for the user to follow live matches, and also keep a tab on the recent and upcoming ones, the company said in a statement.
According to Yahoo India, the app will have live scores, detailed ball-by-ball commentary which can be filtered by wickets, 4s and 6s; an interactive score card which allows the user to browse through the batting line up, fall of wickets and a complete chronology of how a match progressed.
With this new app from Yahoo Cricket, Windows Phone users can now catch all international matches and the IPL series – live, on-the-go, the statement said. On a non-match day, the app will connect the user to specially created photo-galleries, latest news articles on the game, player and team profiles, as well as results of completed matches, and schedules of upcoming ones.
Developed at the R&D centre in Bangalore, this is the third cricket app released by Yahoo.

Cooking is easier. Here I can learn from my many mistakes.
My inspiration for cooking came from seeing all the cr*p that goes into processed food and trying to avoid excess sodium. Also supermarket meats are generally very poor and more expensive than my local butcher.
I suppose that's my pet peeve in that there is far too much sugar available in innocuous guises so our young generation becomes ever more gross.

Normandale Lake Trails ProjectWhat is the scope of this project?A large portion of the existing walking and multi-use trails that navigate around Normandale Lake will be maintained either by reconstruction or crack/fog sealing. Trails will be widened to 10' and reconstructed along their existing alignment as necessary, to allow us to save most trees and the existing features around these trails. Trail connections will be added to allow for easier access between existing trails with some small minimally traveled segments being removed. How is the project funded?The City of Bloomington has received a Park and Trails Legacy fund grant that will be used for the trail improvements. What is the project schedule?The City anticipates beginning path improvements in the spring of 2012 with project completion to occur by mid-summer 2012. Phase 1The first phase of this reconstruction will include the closure of the trails from the parking lot on Chalet Rd around the north side of the lake to the trail entrance at W 84th Street/Normandale Blvd. This will also involve the closure of the parking lot off of W 84th St. This closure will last approximately 1 month. The second phase of reconstruction will be the final phase of construction and will include the closure of the trails from the parking lot on Chalet Rd around the south and east side of the lake to the trail entrance at W 84th Street/Normandale Blvd. This phase is anticipated to begin by Wednesday, June 13. The trails within the Phase 1 area along with the parking lot on W 84th St will be reopened when Phase 2 begins. This closure will last approximately 1 month. How are pedestrians/bicyclist going to be impacted?There will be times when segments of the paths will be closed and pedestrians/bicyclists will not have access to all segments. Please watch for signs directing you to the open trails. UpdatesThroughout the project design and construction, updates will be provided via this website, the project update page listed below, through E-Subscribe, and via direct mailings to those property owners adjacent to the project.

Superman Quiz
George Reeves was not the first man to defend truth, justice and the American way as Superman, but he is perhaps the most tragic. Although he possessed leading-man good looks, an impressive physique and serious acting talents, movie stardom and financial success eluded Reeves for most of his life. His death in 1959 ensured that Reeves would be famous not just for his work, but also for the mystery surrounding his demise. While theorists and investigators may never agree on what happened in his final moments, his life remains a fascinating story. As we celebrate his 100th birthday on January 5, see how much you know about television's first Superman in our George Reeves quiz.

How to Reduce Employee Anxiety in a Downward Economy
By Margaret Hansen, JobsInRI.com
Calming the Storm
A new bag of management tricks is needed in today's workplace to calm the recession's storm.
According to the American Psychological Association, today's employees face obstacles that increase stress and bog down productivity, including:
- Shifting to unfamiliar tasks within their companies
- The uncertainty of how much longer they will be employed
- New bosses
- Computer surveillance of production
- Fewer health and retirement benefits
- The feeling they have to work longer and harder just to maintain their current economic status
Tension and uncertainty are affecting workers at all levels, and most are updating their resumes.
Whether these conditions are real or perceived in your workplace, there are some ways you can change your work environment to keep stress at bay and improve productivity in a recession.
Keep Lines of Communication Open with Your Staff
Know what's bugging them on the job and take steps to remove those roadblocks and other stressors.
Create Written Job Descriptions for Every Employee
A specific, written job description creates clear, agreed-upon expectations and provides a sense of pride and respect in one's work. Reviews and raises should be tied to this.
Provide Self-help Opportunities
According to Forbes magazine, forecasts predict that the self-help industry will experience a 6.2% annual growth rate through 2012. Why? They offer hope. Securing a few dollars to provide financial counseling, career counseling, ways to budget, or weight loss strategies can offer solutions that reduce stress. If your budget is dry, try seeking out volunteers within the company who'll offer helpful sessions to your team.
Use Empathetic Responses when Talking About Problems
Just a few words of empathy can take the pressure off of someone whose spouse has been laid off, or who is going through a financial crisis.
Encourage Staff to Use Their Vacation Time
According to Mel Borins, M.D. and author of Go Away Just for the Health of It, taking a vacation can improve physical ailments and, in turn, improve self-motivation, job interest and job efficiency while lowering absenteeism.
Recruit for Keeps
Effective recruiting and retention means ensuring employees are the right "fit" for the job and the work environment. Job hunting can be stressful, particularly in times of high unemployment, but being ground down day after day by work is far worse, says Lyle H. Miller, Ph.D. and Alma Dell Smith, Ph.D., authors of The Stress Solution.
Make sure you don't have any square pegs in round holes on staff. Hiring superstars may seem like a good idea in a downward economy, but retaining them on the way up may prove to be more difficult than originally thought.
Deal with Trauma
Post-layoff workplaces are vulnerable to more stress. Be sure to give those remaining time to grieve and digest the news, perhaps in an off-site meeting/luncheon to come together for support and some time off.
Remember, everyone in your organization will go through the same stages of loss, but since management will undoubtedly know about disruptive events in advance, they may be beyond denial and anger before the news hits the floor.

Quizno's Gets It's Carl's Jr. On With 2 Girls 1 Sub
Quiznos hooked (oh no they di'nt!) up with Playboy to riff on the disgusting "2 Girls 1 Cup" thing. While Quiznos has reportedly denied any involvement with this production, we can't help but wonder just how many people over at Quiznos are loving (even hoping) this thing gets as much exposure as it's getting. We still think there's some shenanigans going on here.
In the ad, two women in bikinis sit on a bench. One is enjoying a Quiznos sub as the other looks on. In fact she's enjoying it so much she can't quite contain herself. Happy to share the pleasure, she hands the sub to the other who can't get it into her mouth fast enough.
