B-17 Bomber Ride
by Producer Ryan
posted Jul 12 2012 9:06AM
This week Potter and I got the chance to go out to Dane County Regional Airport to take a tour of and then actually fly around over Madison in
's restored
B-17 Flying Fortress
named "
Aluminum Overcast
". It was one of the coolest things I've ever done.
The plane looks almost new, its been restored to look like it would when it was in service, with a million machine guns, top, chin, tail and bottom ball turrets, belts and belts of ammo, even what I hoped were dummy bombs in the bomb bay, and what was definitely a dummy crammed into what has got to be a very cramped seat in the tail gun.
Getting in, sitting in the mesh seats and buckling up trying to imagine how scary it would be to be headed on an actual mission made it easy to be pretty calm about what was the first flight I've ever been on that didn't serve peanuts and Diet Coke. The "Flying Fortress" was up and in the air in a heartbeat.
Pretty much right away we were given the signal to hop up and wander around the plane, being careful not to fall over or bang your head on anything you could walk up past the ball turret (I wouldn't be able to fit in it if I tried. I think its reserved for the smallest dude on the crew)) and into the radio room where the top hatch had been taken out and you could stick your head right up and out (I kind of felt like R2-D2). Then you could squeeze through the bomb bay and into the cockpit, then crawl under the pilots and into nose where the bombardier sits which is essentially all window (think The House on the Rock's Infinity Room only a bit higher up). Sitting in the bombardier seat and looking past my feet to the ground was super crazy. Don't worry, I tried to dump the payload but the trigger didn't work, Madison is safe for now.
By the end of the flight a few guys were getting airsick from looking through their camera view finders, probably a similar sensation to staring down a gunsight while in flight, but everyone held on to their lunch. The pilots put the B-17 down for a smooth landing and we hopped out onto the tarmac with a few extra chest hairs and a lot of respect for the men who piloted and manned these impressive machines of war when it really counted. Just an amazing piece of history being kept alive by the folks at EAA.
The "Aluminum Overcast" will be in Madison for tours and flights this weekend July 13-15,

This is the third volume of a proposed five-volume English edition of the Evangelisches Kirchenlexikon (Gottingen, Germany: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1986-97). The goal of this series, according to the publisher's press release, is to "portray[s] Christianity in its widest ecumenical context."
This reviewer has previously commented on the first two volumes of this set (TMSJ 11/1 [Spring 2000]:124-26, and TMSJ 13/1 [Spring 2002]:124-25), and will not repeat the general comments on formatting and style other than to say that this set represents a paradigm of how a reference work should be designed. The only additional observation would be to hope that as this series is completed that the publishers will include a comprehensive index of the entire set in the last volume.
The content of this volume mirrors the general selection criteria of the previous volumes, and because of its European origination, those articles typically represent a European bordering on Euro-centric viewpoint to the subject matter. For example, the entry on "Justification" (90-99) is so dominated by discussions of Lutheran concepts on the issue that it provides almost no discussion of theological constructs more familiar to those in America, where Lutheranism has never been a dominating force. In dealing with specific books of the Bible and biblical events or personalities, the authors take a decidedly liberal and text-critical approach in their conclusions. For example, the entry for Noah (763-64) refers to him as a "widely attested legendary figure from primeval history of unknown pre-Israelite origin." Some articles are interesting and quite helpful, particularly "North American Theology" (774-82) and the entries for "Martin Luther" (345-48) and "Luther's Theology" (370-74).
This volume, as with the previous, is really designed for the seminary and university library. Their price of $100 per volume puts them out of reach of the average college or seminary professor and particularly out of reach of most pastors. The "broadly ecumenical" nature of the articles really means that conservative scholarship is ignored, with Christianity and the church largely presented as a socioeconomic phenomenon rather than "the pillar and support of the truth" (1 Tim 3:15).

I left my good garden shears and English bonsai trimmer outside and now there is a little rust on the blades. What product do you recommend? How can I remove the rust without dulling the blade?
Thanks in advance, Kris |
Follow-Up Postings:
If it's just minor surface rust i use steel wool. Then i apply a thin coat of oil. |
If not already clear, you should not run the abrasive across or over the edge. Steel wool works great as does wet and dry 600 grit sandpaper. it is usually black or deep blue black with a cloth like backing. Its great stuff for cleaning pots and pans too. |

text: Pregnancy > Pregnant Celebrities Ali Landry Gets Real About Expecting Baby #3 Actress and model Ali Landry (you probably recognize her as the Doritos girl) isn't just a pretty face. She's a passionate mom, an entrepreneur and even a certified car seat technician. She dished to us about her maternity fashion secrets, her favorite products and what it was like shooting a movie as her due date neared (hello, pregnancy brain!). Photo: Colette De Barros / The Bump The Bump: Did anything surprise you about pregnancy the third time around? Ali Landry: During my other two pregnancies, my skin glowed. But this time around, I got melasma [aka the mask of pregnancy]. I learned it's really important to have a great sunscreen and protect your skin as much as possible. I wear a hat whenever I'm outside with the kids now. TB: What are your best maternity fashion tips? AL: Part of me wants to wake up in the morning and throw on a big pair of pants -- probably my husband's -- and a sweatshirt. But when I do that, I look in the mirror and I just don't feel good about myself. So I really try to pull it all together, and I do feel so much better. It's important to get a great pair of maternity jeans. Right now, skinny jeans are all the rage, so find a pair that's flattering and really comfortable. I buy a lot of non-maternity tops that look stylish with my skinny jeans. This time around, I got some shirts that button down for easy access for nursing, so I can get plenty of wear out of them after the baby arrives. A well-fitted maxi dress with a great statement piece of jewelry is always really comfortable -- and it looks flattering and put-together. TB: We heard you're working on something to help moms find the best products. Tell us about it. AL: Yes! What people really want to know when they're buying something -- myself included -- is "What is your favorite product?" I want to know what your ultimate favorite thing is, so I can go out and make an educated decision and possibly buy it. I'm always putting together emails recommending all of my favorite things to friends and asking them what great products they've found, so we can learn from each other. I wanted to create a seamless way for people to do that. So my business partner and I created Favored.by. It's a mobile app that lets you poll people on their number one favorite booster seat or jogging stroller and sort those results by either a community or people you follow, maybe like-minded people or celebrities. Eventually, we'll expand beyond parenting and include a wider range of products.

Even an adult can sit in it." $260, Nuna.eu for stores TB: Are you nesting for the new baby? AL: We're in the process of putting our home on the market and buying a new one, because we're bursting at the seams! My kids, Marcelo and Estela, are sharing a room, and I want all the children on the same floor as me. I have a feeling the nesting is going to come in when I'm packing and unpacking. Fortunately, I know that this baby is a boy, and I've saved everything from Marcelo, so I'll be able to reuse a lot of his things. TB: We heard you can install a car seat professionally. Why is car seat safety so important to you? AL: I'm certified as a child passenger safety technician by Safe Kids Worldwide. Going through the course opened my eyes, and now I want to shout about car seat education at the top of my lungs. It's not necessary to move your child up to a larger seat or a booster as quickly as many parents want to. I know all parents want the safest option for their child, but when you don't educate yourself, sometimes you make bad choices. TB: How was it filming the movie Little Boy when you were nine months pregnant? AL: It was hard. We shot the movie in Mexico, and they actually had to have a helicopter waiting just in case I went into labor, to fly me to a hospital in San Diego. And I had pregnancy brain. I couldn't remember my lines to save my life! I was very emotional. I had a crying scene -- it was very easy for me to cry. TB: And what was it like wearing maternity clothes from the 1940s? AL: It was hilarious. I wore a skirt that had a cutout for my belly and tied at the top. The lengths of the skirts were all in the wrong places. Maternity clothes have come a long way in the last 70 or so years! TB: Are your kids ready for the new baby? AL: I think Estela's ready because she already has a little brother, so she knows what she's in for. We were at the doctor's office, and the doctor said, "How do you like your little brother?" She said, "He pulls my hair." Then the doctor asked, "So what do you think about having a new brother?" And she's like, "I'm going to be bald." So I think she knows that double-trouble is coming. Marcelo might be tougher to get ready. He wants to be with me all the time, and he's very much still a baby. When I'm around, he clings to me. I might have to call in some of my expert mommy friends to help navigate our way through this. watch: behind the scenes at The Bump photo shoot with Ali Landry Plus, more from The Bump: Behind the Scenes at The Bump Photo Shoot With Ali Landry Ali Landry's Breastfeeding Story The Bump Best of Baby product Awards -- Elena Donovan Mauer See More: Celeb News , Baby Gear , 3rd Trimester Previous Article: 4 Celebrity Moms We Love to Hate Next Article: Alison Sweeney Shares Parenting Advice and Secrets to Losing the Baby Weight Molly Sims Reveals: She Doesn't Get Sleep Either!

Savoring the Season
A guide to the summers best cookbooks
By Elle Decor Staff
Roasted Ratatouille Tart with Goat Cheese and Mint
From the The Fresh & Green Table by Susie Middleton
Long ago and far away I worked in a busy gourmet market cooking take-out food. The fun part about this job was not making three hundred pounds of potato salad over Labor Day weekend. It was dreaming up clever items that would sell well any old day. One of my most popular creations was a savory rustic tart filled with roasted vegetables and goat cheese. Back then, I had to use pie dough that wasn't quite as yummy (or flaky) as the tart dough I prefer to use now, but the crowd-pleasing roasted filling is quite similar. It's a mix of summer ratatouille-ish vegetables, though it doesn't turn out stewlike, just pleasantly moist. It's super-easy to make but does need 45 minutes or so in the oven. You can make the filling while your dough comes to room temperature, or you can make it ahead and refrigerate it, if you like. (Bring back to room temp before using.) Serve a slice of this tart with Summer Shades of Green Side Salad with Avocado & Lime-Honey Dressing for supper on an early autumn evening.
Serves 4
For the egg wash:
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp heavy cream
For the filling:
6 oz/170 g medium cherry tomatoes, halved (about a heaping one cup)
4 oz/115 g red or yellow bell pepper, cut into 3/4-inch/2-cm dice (about 1 cup)
4 oz/115 g Italian (or other small) eggplant, skin scored and cut into 3/4-inch/2-cm dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
4 oz/115 g zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch/12-mm dice (about 1 cup)
4 oz/115 g (about 1/2 medium) red onion, cut into 3/4-inch/2-cm dice (about 1 cup)
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
For the tart:
Flour for dusting
1 disk Savory Rustic Tart Dough (see separate recipe)
1/4 cup/30 g grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 cup/115 g cold fresh goat cheese, crumbled while still chilled
1 tbsp thinly sliced fresh mint
To make the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and heavy cream, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
To make the filling: Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6. Position a rack in the center of the oven. In a 13-by-9-inch/33-by-23-cm heatproof glass baking dish (or two smaller shallow baking dishes with a total volume of about 3 quarts/2.8 L), combine the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, red onion, olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt. Toss gently but thoroughly and spread in a single layer. Roast until the veggies have shrunk and caramelized but are still a bit moist, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the baking dish.
To make the tart: Be sure that one oven rack is still positioned in the center of the oven. Line a large heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Sprinkle your work surface lightly with flour and spread it around with your hand. Put the disk of dough in front of you and lightly tap it with the rolling pin to start softening and spreading it. Gently roll it out, lifting and giving the disk a quarter-turn after each roll, until you have a roughly 12-inch/30.5-cm round. Try not to roll your pin over the edges of the dough, as that will tend to make the edges thinner than the center. (If your edges get very ragged or torn, it's okay to patch them back together or trim them.) If the dough is sticking, lift it up and toss a bit of flour underneath it and/or over it. Roll up or drape the dough over your rolling pin, and unroll or undrape it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp of the Parmigiano over the dough, leaving a 2-inch/5-cm border around the edge. Top the Parmigiano with half of the goat cheese, half of the mint, and half of the roasted filling, again leaving a 2-inch/5-cm border. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp of the Parmigiano, and repeat with the remaining goat cheese, mint, and filling. Top with 1 tbsp of the Parmigiano.
Pleat and fold the edges of the dough up and over the outer edge of the filling all the way around the tart. (You will be folding in that 2-inch/5-cm border.) You don't have to go crazy making a lot of pleats; folding in a piece of dough about every 2 to 3 inches/5 to 7.5 cm around the tart will get you the results you want. (You'll have a total of eight to ten pleats.)
Brush the edges of the dough with some of the egg wash (you won't use it all), and sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp Parmigiano over the edges as well as the rest of the tart.
Bake until nicely golden all over and crisp and brown on the bottom (check with spatula), 38 to 40 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes and use the parchment to slide the tart onto a cutting board. Let cool for another 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

we love my ring!
The diamond we chose is absolutely beautiful. The setting is perfect, dainty and petite while still feeling strong and secure.
This is exactly what I wanted. The ring is beautiful and everyone in Blue Nile was very helpful. Excellent customer service!
She said "Yes" and admires it everyday!
I compared several rings before buying this 1 ct. from Blue Nile. I saved over $1,100 compared to my first choice and the Blue Nile diamond was even much higher quality. I highly recommend Blue Nile to get more for your money...
Simple beauty and elegance
After taking several months to finally select a diamond for this setting I can say that I am absolutely pleased with this ring for its simple yet elegant design, and outstanding beauty. I showed the ring to 2 female friends who both thought the same and also that my lady will love it once presented to her. I am excited about giving her the ring after such good reviews.
A phenomenal ring. A phenomenal experience.
I will never shop for jewelry anywhere else again. I highly recommend using Blue Nile for all your jewelry needs, particularly engagement rings. The experience, customer service, and product itself are all first rate. On top of that, it is an extraordinary value. My fiancee gets rave reviews about her ring every single day. I am now a Blue Nile customer for life.
Perfect for smaller hands
This ring is absolutely perfect! I cannot wait for my girlfriend (soon to be my fiancee). It really is quite thin and petite (there's no need to be worried by the pictures making it look a little thicker than it is), which is perfect, because my girlfriend has very small fingers.Again, I could not be more happy with this ring, it was a choice I'll be glad I made for years and years to come.
I absolutely love this ring!!!
I absolutely love this ring!!! I have small hands and fingers, so this ring is perfect for me, very delicate and elegant. It showcases the diamond beautifully, and I have yet to "snag" it on anything as others said I would because of the raised setting. I think this is because the setting is nicely rounded which also adds to the ring aesthetically. I feel that I got an exceptional value for what I purchased, and the quality is outstanding. Overall, I am more than satisfied with how my ring turned out, I am in love with it!!!
Very nice!
Love the simple setting; it really highlights the diamond. The diamond is beautiful and very sparkly (go for ideal cut). It's a little hard to tell from the web site what the size of the diamond is, but otherwise good experience.
The ring I bought exceeded my expectations. The customer care was awesome. It was a seamless transaction. I would highly recommend blue Nile.
Perfect ring
This ring was perfect. My fiance loved it. I would definitely recommend this style. She said it looked really elegant and professional and not too flashy. It was exactly what she was looking for.
J'adore the Petite Solitaire!
The Petite Solitaire ring is so pretty! Dainty, thin, a true 2mm tapering to a 1.8mm. It slightly goes thinner near the stone as well. I think it looks amazing on anyone with a small finger size (mine is a 4.5). The ring makes the diamond POP (mine is a 2.5ct) and showcases it very well allowing the light to come in. The prongs jut out just a bit on the sides at the base so another band will not sit perfectly flush but almost flush. I tried it with a Tiffany shared prong basket eternity & half eternity ring and it looked amazing!! A perfect fit. I highly recommend this ring setting if you want a classic 4-prong choice on a thin band.
My number 1 choice for rings
My wife is so happy. Perfect service. Greatest online customization and quoting system. Reasonable prices.
My Fiancee is very pleased with the quality of diamond. The color and clarity are exceptional. The diamond reflects light radiantly.Delivery via FedEx overnight was on time for my proposal Christmas Eve morning. Exceptional service.
Absolutely loved it!
Your app made it so easy to find the right ring. I really liked the convenience of comparing all the diamonds from home. I did my research and it paid off. She loved it!
She won't say no to this ring!
The ring was outstanding and my fiance simply loved it!!
She loves it.
I would recommend Blue Nile to anyone that is looking to be satisfied. They offer exceptional deals and choices. I will be returning to Blue Nile to make another purchase within the near future. Thanks Blue Nile, You guys made me very happy.
Very satisfied with purchase and service
Very satisfied with the selection and ability to choose the exact type of stone that I wanted. Customer service was friendly and and ensured accuracy in making a change to my order a day after it was initially placed.
great decision
I was a little skeptical about buying an engagement ring online. I had fears of it showing up with a bad looking mount or a blemished diamond, but the ring and diamond looked great. she loved it.
She's worn little jewelry for 40 years. She wont take off this ring.
Perfectly elegant and quietly understated. The stone and the band are truly complementary and beautiful together- even to someone like me who cannot always be depended on to match a shirt with a pair of pants.

We kept hearing good things about Brixton Market from south London friends, so we thought we'd get ourselves down there for a proper evening of eating and drinking, led by local gal Rosie Birkett, who edits Four magazine, blogs at A Lot On Her Plate, and does her own bit for the Brixton food scene with London French Dip.
Following a period of neglect, the two covered markets on Coldharbour Lane, Brixton Village (aka Granville Arcade) and Market Row, have come back to life over the past couple of years, thanks to concerted efforts from Brixtonian entrepreneurs and the Space Makers social network. 'Between them, the markets offer huge diversity in terms of food,' says Rosie. 'You'll find Osakan street food at Okan, artisan Brixton sourdough at Wild Caper, Trinidadian lager at Fish, Wings & Tings, and English ham at Cannon & Cannon.'
Market Row Wines
20 Market Row, @MarketRowWines
Brixton's first independent wine store, launched by Dave Simpson in May. Half of his fast-moving selection of some 50 to 60 wines are bio or natural, and most bottles are priced between £8 and £12. Our interest is piqued by manzanilla sherry en rama, and dry Pedro Ximenez, both from Equipo Navazos. You can also drink right here, by the bottle or glass, at a handful of tables in the arcade, and there are BYO nights – BYO food, that is.
'My favourite thing to buy here is the Picpoul de Pinet from Domaine de la Mirande, £9.99,' say Rosie. 'I've taken a bottle of this to Kaosarn (see below) a few times – it's fresh and acidic, and a good foil for Thai dishes.'
Cannon & Cannon
18 Market Row, @cannonandcannon
Joe and Sean Cannon are purveyors of artisan British charcuterie and cheese, expanding their wholesale business (est. 2010) into a pair of retail outlets at Borough Market and here on Market Row. Downstairs, you can buy Welsh fennel salami, Kent beer sticks (£1.60 a go), Cornish air-dried lamb, Scottish wild venison chorizo, and great British cheeses such as Stichelton, Binham Blue and Swaledale. Upstairs is a licenced dining room, where you can share a platter (you choose what goes on it), or order hot dishes, such as artichoke hearts with Blue Vinny cheese and walnuts, with beers from Kernel or English wines to go with them.
Rosie says: 'It's amazing to have a place doing just British charcuterie – it's very specialist, really. You can call in and pick up delicious porky snacks for picnics in Brockwell Park, and bring an empty bottle and fill it up with delicious table wine from Borough Wines. Unbelievably, this is also Brixton's first proper cheese shop. The sharing plates are made with wonderful British ingredients.'
Seven at Brixton
7 Market Row, @sevenatbrixton
If the open-fronted ground floor of this cocktail and pintxos joint looks and feels warm and low-key, with a few fun design quirks, the upstairs warren of rooms goes for it, decoratively speaking. The short cocktail list offers terrific value, with piña coladas, margaritas and daiquiris all on for a fiver; wines and sherries by the glass, and beers, are mostly pitched around £3.50.
'This is considered the best place for cocktails in the market,' says Rosie. 'I love what they've done with the space – they've been really creative with reclaimed furniture, holding up tabletops with vegetable oil cans, and using old Coca-Cola crates as stools. It's open from 8am for breakfast and coffees, and gets busy later on. It's great craic: the staff are friendly, and it's inclusive. They're clearly independent and have made it work without having a big budget.'
Casa Sibilla
67–68 Brixton Village, casa-sibilla.com
We might have walked past this trad-looking Italian deli if Rosie hadn't been firm about including it – more fool us. The antipasti are deliciously authentic, prepared from scratch, and the pasta is all home-made. One word of warning: the pace is slow, so don't count on grabbing a quick bite, even if you've only come for a few nibbles.
Rosie says: 'The chef is from Puglia, and really respects her raw ingredients. I like it here because they serve authentic Italian aperitifs, including my favourite, the Aperol Spritz, and everything, even the fried dough snacks they bring you, is made freshly to order.'
96 Brixton Village, 020 7095 8922
Along with Honest Burgers at Unit 12, this is one of the Brixton Village enterprises we'd already heard tell of – to be fair, mainly from Rosie, who says she comes here so often it's ridiculous. The menu isn't long, but manages to offer a handful of less familiar dishes, as well as your pad thai, green curry and so on. And dinner here is brilliant value, even more so because it's BYO. Expect to queue.
'I must come here once a week at least,' says Rosie. 'I'm addicted to their consistently good, authentic Thai cuisine. My favourite dish is the grilled half chicken served with sticky rice and green papaya salad. The massaman curry is good, too; just make sure you ask for decent levels of spicing. Gisele is the hostess with the mostess – Kaosarn gets overrun, and she's brilliant at seating everyone and looking after her guests.'

Inside or outside the kegerator? Or does it matter?
I've seen it both ways. I personally didn't want to run a line through the wall of my kegerator, so I have mine inside.
It doesn't matter. It will work both ways. I guess it just depends on if you want to run a CO2 line through the wall and free up some space for another keg or keep it simple and put the tank in the freezer. For me I can leave it in and fit the same number of kegs either way. The gauge that shows how much pressure is in your tank will be lower if you put it the cold kegerator, but it will last just as long in or out.
I prefer it out. Room for one more keg in the kegerator that way.
It's easier to check and adjust when it is outside the kegerator. The fill gauge will work better when it is at room temp as well, as the reading is useless when inside the kegerator (not accurate).
Here's a question I'm interested in - is there a conversion factor available for CO2 inside? I haven't drilled out my fridge yet but I'm going to picnic tap my kegs for now until I get it all schemed out, but that requires me keeping the CO2 in the fridge for now.
.. heh, he he - he said.. flocculation... hehe heh.
inside for me...
Spezialisiert auf Deutsch Lagerbier...
Is there a detrimental effect on the regulator from moisture inside the keezer condensing on (and inside ?) the regulator; i.e., corrosion of regulator internal parts?
inside here. I don't think I could fit a third keg in there anyway but I can squeeze 2 kegs and a 10lb tank
I put it outside, you can use a 20 lb tank and not take up any room inside. I ran 3 vinyl lines through the back( from 3 separate regs) I just drilled holes and used rubber grommets to put the lines through. If you are only going to go with 1 line you can get a mfl bulkhead for a cleaner look.

Internet Explorer is Microsoft's web browser for the Windows platform.
Remote exploitation of an array indexing vulnerability in Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. The vulnerability occurs when accessing a VARIANT structure inside of a CAttrArray, which is used to hold element properties. The error occurs when attempting to remove a property that does not exist from an HTML element. In this situation, with certain property values, the function responsible for looking up the index of the property to remove returns an index one beyond the final valid index in the property array. The calling code does not validate this index, and uses it when attempting to remove the VARIANT from the array and destroy it. This results in uninitialized heap memory being treated as a VARIANT structure, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user viewing the Web page. To exploit this vulnerability, a targeted user must load a malicious Web page that an attacker created. An attacker typically accomplishes this via social engineering or injecting content into compromised, trusted sites. After the user visits the malicious Web page, no further user interaction is needed.
To exploit this vulnerability, it is necessary to control heap data in the uninitialized index of the array. Testing has demonstrated that this is possible and that it can be performed reliably.
Internet Explorer 9 is vulnerable.
Several workarounds involving disabling or restricting site access to ActiveScript can be employed to mitigate this vulnerability, including the following:
Microsoft Corp. has released patches which addresses this issue. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL:

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: Tweed is moving out of grandpa's closet and into yours. If you haven't gotten on board yet, start with a pair of pants in the fabric and wear them with anything and everything instead of jeans. These Epaulet Donegal trousers aren't itchy like that pair you found in the thrift shop—they're soft and have a slim-but-not-too-slim cut that's perfect for the office. But the real charm of this tweed is its detailing, which lets you sneak in flecks of red and blood orange-colored fibers for some prime professorial steez.

The Kingston SSDNow M-Series Upgrade Kit SSD
The retail kit comes with several accessories. The USB drive carrier is the largest but users looking to mount the 2.5 inch drive in a standard 3.5 inch system will find the drive rails to come in handy. The cloning software is very useful if you don't feel like spending 8 hours installing Windows and your other software.
Here we see the Kingston USB drive carrier.
The carrier features a single USB plug on the side so you can access the drive quickly.
The carrier comes apart very quickly, just use the release button and separate the two halves.
Of course the gem of the kit is the Kingston SSDNow drive that is the fastest consumer drive available.
Enthusiasts have been looking for ways to use the awesome speed of SSDs in their desktop system for quite some time now. The brave has just found a place to set their drive on the bottom of the case, but that is unsecure and a recipe for disaster if you move your system often. Kingston has included rails that will turn your 2.5 inch drive into a 3.5 inch drive, just like your standard desktop drives.

Stockard Good! TFO?? Meh!
Reviewer: A viewer from Slippery Rock, PA US
The service and delivery from Stockard was great. My biggest gripe is with TFO. They use very large font and gaudy graphic on the blank to identify rod model and size. Looks very tacky. A fly rod is a delicate instrument and TFO graphics make it look like a Playskool toy. I was afraid to try and remove it in fear of damaging the finish on the blank. Last TFO for me.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Kirby!
Facts about Kirby
- Breed: Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Kirby's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Meet Kirby he is a sweet terrier mix. Who loves to play. Kirby has a great personality and is looking for his forever home. If you think that Kirby would make a great addition to your family email me email@example.com so I can tell you more about our adoption process.
Other Pets at Furbabies Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Kirby, a Indian Trail Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier for sale in Indian Trail, or seeking a Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier dog from a breeder in Indian Trail.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Indian Trail already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Indian Trail breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier breeders who help with Border Terrier/Cairn Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Indian Trail paves the way for another one to be saved.

Troy-based Talmer Bancorp, which acquired Port Huron-based Citizens First Bank a few years ago, made its trading debut on Wednesday. Their initial public offering of over 15-million shares of Class A common stock for a public offering was priced at $13-dollars a share. Talmer banks operate through 94 branches in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and other states. Officials say they're planning to use the proceeds from the public offering to pay off debt. The stock is now listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the symbol TLMR. Talmer first began as a single branch bank, back in 2007, and has made great strides in expanding their operations and holdings.

The Panthers have been on the clock for several months, and yet it's still not entirely clear who they'll take. James Dator of Cat Scratch Reader further confuses us by refusing to take the Cam Newton route:
1. So who's it going to be? Cam Newton? Blaine Gabbert? Patrick Peterson? I personally think it'll be Newton but think it should be Peterson…
Wow … isn't that the $1 million question. Personally, I think the Panthers are desperately trying to trade the pick, but in the end won't find any suitors. So it becomes Newton or Gabbert in this regard. I know all the messages the organization has been sending out scream 'CAM NEWTON!' but this team has a long standing history of two things: Selling a player they're not interested in around draft time and mitigating character issues wherever possible. Ultimately, I have to go with my gut — and my gut says the Panthers will take the quarterback who is more NFL ready, less of a risk due to his personality and the path not talked about: Blaine Gabbert. They may regret passing on Newton's upside four years from now, but this is the safer option.
2. Is there any hope for Jimmy Clausen?
That's entirely up to Jimmy Clausen. In 2010 he didn't get along with a lot of the veterans, reportedly stopped listening to the coaches and had a crisis of confidence. There's hope if he's willing to humble himself, take a back seat and be willing to learn. I'm not so confident he'll do that.
3. How much does not having a second-round pick change things?
It changes things greatly and expedites the urgency to take a quarterback. In the end, not having that second-rounder could be the primary reason you see a QB go No. 1 overall. If we still had that first pick in the second round you could expect the Panthers to maybe wait and take a Ryan Mallett, Christian Ponder or Colin Kaepernick in the second, but without that safety net I think we'll see a QB go first.
4. What are the chances they trade out of that top spot?
If the Panthers have their way they want to get out of that spot, but I don't think they'll find a suitor. I put it at 20 percent.
5. Can you give me the team's top three or four needs…
Defensive tackle, quarterback, cornerback, offensive line, in that order.

It's now easy to find fresh guacamole products in snack and party sizes near other value-added produce items.
High-pressure technology cold-pasteurizes and extends shelf life. Products still need to be refrigerated and should be maintained at 34 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Santa Paula, Calif.-based Calavo Growers Inc.'s recommendations.
Calavo guarantees retailer customers 45 days of shelf life.
Calavo-brand guacamole is available in 8- and 12-ounce overwrapped trays. Varieties are Authentic, Pico de Gallo and Caliente.
Calavo plans to introduce a new product, avocado hummus, in August, said Al Ahmer, vice president of sales and production, Calavo Foods division. The product is lightly spiced with garlic, pepper and serrano pepper and contains avocados and chickpeas.
It's a blend of cuisines that produces a healthful and good-tasting snack, dip or spread, Ahmer said.
Avocado hummus samplings should get the product moving.
"We feel confident if we can get a consumer to try our guacamole, avocado hummus or salsa, that person will buy it again," Ahmer said.
Avocado hummus will be available for foodservice usage in one-pound pouches, and retail packs will be 12-ounce rigid plastic tray packs with four-color overwrap, Ahmer said.
Ahmer said Calavo would like to see the avocado hummus positioned next to guacamoles in the produce section.
Oxnard, Calif.-based Mission Produce Inc.'s ultra-high-pressure processed guacamole is a growth item, said Ross Wileman, vice president of sales and marketing.
Mission sells Mr. Avocado-brand chunky, mild and spicy guacamoles in 7- and 14-ounce packages. It also markets Frontera-brand all-natural guacamole mix of tomatillos, lime juice, cilantro and seasonings. Consumers just add avocados to it to make fresh guacamole.
"Frontera guacamole mix definitely supports and supplements the category," Wileman said.
Fresherized Foods, Fort Worth, Texas, plans to promote its Wholly Guacamole-brand products this fall with a campaign tied to the rerelease of Disney's The Lion King movie on DVD, said Tracey Altman, vice president of marketing.
In September and October, Fresherized plans to offer a $5 rebate on Wholly Guacamole snack packs and 7-ounce packets with the purchase of a DVD of The Lion King.
"We're excited … for the back-to-school period, to talk to moms about adding guacamole and avocados to their kids' lunches," Altman said.
Fresherized will support the campaign with social media and outreach to "mommy bloggers" about the health benefits and convenience of guacamole and avocados, she said. The message will focus on parents making healthful food choices for children.

Hi all! I'm a caterer originally from Champaign, Il., and have lived my whole life in the midwest. (Illinois and Indiana.) My husband and I have been living in New Jersey for over 2 years now, and let's just say it's quite different from the midwest! It's very pretty here and all, but there's no place like HOME!!
I of course LOVE to cook and bake, and have enjoyed SO MANY recipes from the zaar members here!!!! I can't believe how many recipes I would've never experienced had I not found this site! I really enjoy joining in the games, too!!! It's a great way to meet people!! I don't think I have ever even logged off since I first signed up!
I like just about everything, and will try almost anything at least twice...(some things just take getting used to.) I LOVE Italian, Mexican, Asian, Mediterranean....and a good, tender steak (filet is my favorite of course!!), cooked on the grill to rare, and smothered with sauteed mushrooms! Comfort food always warms the heart, too!

But four months after Todai opened in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center, curiosity finally got the best of me. An acquaintance was visiting from Florida, and a 150-foot, 100-item seafood buffet in a mall seemed just the place to take him in landlocked Denver. He felt right at home--not just because he's incredibly cheap and Florida's the land of all-you-can-eat spreads, but also because Todai has such a Jetsons-at-the-beach look.
The vast, mall-side dining room features spacy, neon-ringed pillars, star-like lights set into the ceiling and a food station that looks like an aluminum pagoda about to be beamed up. This unlikely ambience is further accessorized by pictures of oversized sea creatures on the walls and cafeteria-style seating, with easy-to-clean laminated tables and avocado vinyl chairs. But the buffet is the focal point, and it's as vast as the ocean. Or close, anyway: It covers two walls and looks to be about the equivalent of fifteen Wendy's salad bars.
Just waiting to get at this is an unlikely horde of diners that includes buffet buffs and sushi fans, who tend to have a certain hipness that the big-bellied, all-you-can-eat fans do not. They start lining up well before the place opens at 5:30 p.m. for dinner ($20.95 weekdays, $21.95 on weekends and holidays; there's also a lunch buffet for $11.95 weekdays and $13.95 weekends). As the doors swing open, the manager begins to ceremoniously shuffle people in, matching them with a host who seats them, takes their drink orders and then sets them adrift in the direction of the buffet.
Man overboard!
Like almost everyone else at Todai, we headed for the raw spread first. I counted almost thirty types of sushi, including shrimp, red snapper, yellowtail and salmon; over a dozen rolls, with an emphasis on Krab and avocado; and eight varieties of sashimi--including mackerel, octopus, tuna and salmon--as well as scallops and mussels on the half-shell. While the fish tasted fresh, the flesh was barely sushi quality, and the selections were astoundingly bland: If you closed your eyes, you couldn't tell if you were eating tuna or yellowtail or cardboard. (No wonder that sitting next to the sushi is a bowl the size of a wok filled to the brim with wasabi.) My toddler could have cut more aesthetically pleasing pieces with a pair of safety scissors: Some of the sashimi had unappetizing strings hanging off it, and the odd sushi proportions made many of the raw slices look like big, floppy fish stranded on white rocks. In fact, the sushi rice came close to stone-like consistency; it was packed tighter than a carry-on bag at DIA.
But all-you-can eat is rarely about aesthetics. If you like mediocre sushi, you can probably eat your money's worth at Todai. Just steer clear of the salmon-skin roll if it smells as rank as it did on one of my visits.
Less chancy are the salads, all rather healthy and some very Asian. Of the dozens on display, we liked the kimchi best--it contained more expensive romaine rather than the cheaper lettuce you find at Korean restaurants and was also packed with flavor and spices. Although the Caesar was a little overdressed, it wasn't bad, either; and the endive shards filled with mayo-moistened Krab had a certain appeal.
But as with the sushi, many of the salad selections were incredibly bland. Exhibit A: a watery "cabbage salad" that was nothing more than shredded green cabbage, slices of unadorned tofu and cauliflower speckled with some unidentifiable red substance. And those salads that did taste offered variations on a sugar-sweetened-soy-sauce theme. Exhibit B: a salad of otherwise well-poached asparagus, edamame pods and something called jabara cucumbers--which looked like whole cucumbers attacked on their undersides with a knife (what happened to the creative carving Japanese cuisine is known for?)--ruined by a soaking in the sweet sauce. Cucumbers were almost as ubiquitous: We sampled a "summer" salad of cukes and an "artichoke" salad that had forty cucumber slices for every artichoke heart. But over two visits, I never saw a soul touch the dark-green, sesame-studded, slimy-looking "cooked seaweed" salad. And despite the helpful label, I didn't, either.
Next stop: the space-age pagoda, which featured every fruit imaginable--including Bing cherries--as well as more seafood. We sampled an adequate "pouched salmon," almost drowned in the water that oozed from the previously frozen stone crab claws, skipped the shriveled raw oysters and fled from a stinky marinated salmon.
On to the hot-food section, which specializes in more seafood, here smothered in pasteurized processed cheese product. The "king salmon" selection might have pleased the ruler of Wisconsin, but no one else: A whole baked fish had been covered very neatly in slices of shiny American cheese, then surrounded by mashed potatoes so dry they had the texture of marshmallows. The "jumbo shrimp" were jumbo disasters: gutted shrimp shells stuffed with an unsettling cheesy substance that may or may not have involved shrimp. The "sward fish" consisted of fillets the thickness of veal cutlets that had been fried in lots of imitation butter, then sided with more of those dreadful potatoes. And then there was the inscrutable "crab boy": a crab shell filled with a mayo-like cheese goo that had been baked until a film formed on top. Yum! There may have been actual strands of crab inside, but I was too frightened to go there.

Starting Thursday, Starbucks customers will have the option to save their planet - and their wallets - a dime at a time. The coffee giant is offering $1 plastic cups, which can be reused for drink purchases at a discount of ten cents.
Jim Hanna, the director of environmental affairs at Starbucks, told USA Today that while the company has sold reusable tumblers for some time and offered the ten cent discount, he expects that the modest price of its new one, available at company-owned stores in the U.S. and Canada, will encourage consumers to take action more frequently. The new effort comes largely in response to consumer criticism over the volume of paper coffee cup waste - approximately 4 billion cups globally each year - generated by Starbucks. The responsibility section of Starbucks' website details the company's efforts to work with vendors and local authorities to get more of its paper cups recycled, and to host recurring "Cup Summits" collaborating on the issue with industry leaders from MIT, Tim Horton's, Georgia-Pacific and Action Carting Environmental Services. By 2015, Starbucks plans to have front-of-store recycling in all its company-owned locations.
According to a 2011 report issued by Starbucks, that year, customers used personal tumblers more than 34 million times - nearly 2% of all beverages served in global company-owned stores. While this represented a 55% increase in personal tumbler use from 2008's tally, Starbucks admitted to challenges in tracking cup use both in and away from their stores, and reduced the company's goal of 25% reusable cups by 2015 to 5%.
The reusable cups are made in China, and have fill lines inside denoting "tall," "grande" and "venti"-sized drinks. The cups will be rinsed with boiling water by Starbucks employees before they're refilled, reducing the risk of cross-contamination, but at least one more challenge remains: will customers actually remember to bring them into the store?
I'm surprised Starbucks purchased the "Green" Cups all the way from China!! That doesn't seem "green" to me!
Paper cup recycling is available but most of the starbucks does not use it. So paper companies provide the recycling facility to their customers.
Better still make your own bloody coffee in the morning, that way starbucks will have no waste.
Know how to have free coffee in starbucks
Got my first and ONLY $1 reusable Starbucks cup. I don't understand how it's going to significantly cut down on waste when you still need a sleeve for hot beverages. It was much cheaper than I expected, even for a $1 cup, and there's no incentive to use their cup when I can bring my own, nice cup from home and get the same 10 cents off. It certainly looks and performs like a cheap, China made product! Other companies, like Dunkin', offer MUCH nicer cups and MUCH nicer incentives to reuse their cups. Maybe Starbucks should have taken a lesson from them.
You could buy a reusable sleeve. I'm not positive if they sell them at Starbucks all the time, but you can find some really nice cloth ones! :)
Don't go to starbucks at all. They support gun fanantics by allowing the open-carry nutjobs to congregate in their stores with their guns.
Boycott starbucks.
Peet's, on the otherhand is a courageous fighter against gun fanatics and does not allow guns in their stores. Buy Peet's.
Gun fanatics. . . . hmm . . . who do you want walking around with a gun? A responsible. adult owner, trained and ready to defend herself and/or you, (and your children), when the nut-job who doesn't give a crap about the legality of carrying the gun or shooting you with it arrives OR JUST the nut-job? Use your brain.
Starbucks rocks – BTW, people carry everywhere – you just don't know it . . . because they are abiding the law by CONCEALING.
If you live in an open carry state, then get the law changed if you don't like it. In fact, in many open carry states those responsible gun owners would be BREAKING the law by concealing.
Starbucks earned my business, see you on 2/22 ! You can stay home Joe Rockbottom and watch Piers Morgan.
Umm can't the papercups they already have be recycled? What's wrong with coffee stained paper? At least the paper cups can decompose. All this is gonna do is create billions of plastic cups that will fill landfills for a longer period of time. It's just a way for Starbucks to make another buck off of you. If the papercups cant be recycled for whatever reason, i.e. access to recylcing facilities in certain countries or coffee stains, then the better thing to do is for Starbucks to invest in opening recycling centres that can recylce their papercups.
Good grief! Just make your own coffee at home and bring it an your lunch to work like I did for 40 years. You'll have more money left at the end of that time if you do. Only go out to lunch on Friday like me and my cohorts did. You'll be amazed at how much you can save.
This is the best they could do?
The first time you forget your re-usable cup to save a dime, the whole scheme crashes and your down a buck. Dumbest idea ever.
Um – how's that, Dave? Does the cup, sitting at home, magically catch fire, preventing you from saving a dime the next day, and every day after that? (By the way: it's "you're"down," not "your down.")
Dave's not here

One of the most popular sports in the world is professional wrestling — if you count it as a sport, of course. The overwhelmingly male audience absolutely loves watching dudes in leotards beat each other up in matches with pre-determined outcomes.
I've been a fan of professional wrestling since I was a young kid. At the time, professional wrestling was a pretty pure, fun sport with a mainly juvenile audience. Over time, it's switched to become more adult-oriented, then back again, and it has picked up a lot of viewers in the 20 to 30 age group. However, as wrestling fans know, people look down on you when you enjoy a good WWE show or two-a-week, and many women in particular seem to malign wrestling as a form of entertainment.
It's hard for many women to understand this, but professional wrestling is popular with men because it's awesome fun. Yes, it's fake. Yes, it looks incredibly homosexual. It's still awesome.
In order to adequately explain why men love professional wrestling, here's a look at the main criticisms of the sport.

The Gaming Tiger T-Rex FR-16 comes in plain cardboard with black screening showing the chassis and its highlights. Right up front you see if has a lot of mesh in the design, offers USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 and has a HDD dock. It also shows the interior is black; it has fans, a controller and cable management options.
Since this is a Russian designed chassis it only makes sense that half of the packaging is offered in their language too, just like with this specifications and cooling system charts.
For English speaking users, this is now the back panel. While most of the test is now swapped for Russian, the information at the top and the phrase "excite your passion" is left in English text.
The specifications listed for the chassis gives you all of the major info needed to see if it will house your components. As for the Cooling System chart, it not only shows all of the locations that will house a 120mm fan, it also shows which ones are factory installed.
Unlike the lose fitting packaging we found in the Xniper, the T-Rex ships with thick Styrofoam caps that are molded to both the top and bottom of the chassis. There is a plastic liner as well as some static cling layers applied to the chassis to keep scratches from damaging the paint or high gloss surfaces.

HoopsHype Robert Pera rumors
The Grizzlies' new owner is defending the trade of his team's leading scorer and other moves to dump salary, saying he believes they can do some ''serious damage'' in the playoffs with the changes. Robert Pera took part in a web chat Friday with Memphis' season ticket holders along with chief executive officer Jason Levien, and Pera's first question was about whether the new ownership group has the financial ability to run the team. ''This team was built for playoff basketball,'' Pera wrote. ''In playoff basketball, getting defensive stops and creating high percentage scoring opportunities under pressure becomes much more important. ... And that is what this team can do best.'' Yahoo! Sports
'We made the second trade because we feel it allows us to put a more competitive product on the floor this season and in future seasons,'' Levien wrote. ''We got better. We also picked up a valuable draft pick as well as trade exceptions that will allow us to be opportunistic in going on the offensive moving forward.'' Pera wrote that NBA teams have won titles with superstars and without, and he believes the Grizzlies as they are now built potentially can become the next example. ''Between Tayshuan's winning pedigree, the league's best perimeter defense, and Mark/Zbo returning back to the focal point of the offense; I believe we are a far more dangerous playoff team today,'' Pera wrote of Marc Gasol and All-Star forward Zach Randolph. Yahoo! Sports
With more than three months on the job, Levien has begun to transform the Grizzlies with some unexpected additions to his front office staff, tapping long-time business associate Stu Lash to oversee player personnel and long-time sports reporter and advanced analytics guru John Hollinger, formerly from ESPN, as his vice president of basketball operations. "Both guys needed to be recruited a little bit," Levien told USA Today Sports. "I put my agent hat on, but I think both guys were excited." USA Today Sports
Hiring Lash seemed almost inevitable, as he and Levien have a long history together. However, hiring Hollinger away from ESPN was something of a surprise. "I always read his stuff so I sort of knew him from reading his stuff and saying, 'This guy is smart and he writes really well,'" Levien said. "We spent time at the Sloan Conference together (an annual sports analytics conference held by MIT in Boston), and I liked him even more. "I leaned on John when I was an agent a few times to give me advice on how I can use analytics in promoting my clients through negotiation and even in the draft. I understood what he was looking at and what he saw and how that equated to what I was looking at and what I saw. And I said, 'This guy really gets it, he's really sharp.'" USA Today Sports
"If you look at the dynamic of our group, with Jason making the final decision," Lash says, "Chris brings a tremendous amount of experience and he's been here, he's done a great job with the foundation and the core of what this team is. John and myself, having different backgrounds and the transition early on was not very difficult. Chris was very open on how he got to this point with this team and it's been good." It's this kind of synergy of information that Levien envisioned when he brought together his front office. "We definitely have a plan and vision for what the future here looks like," Hollinger said. "I'm sure you want me to share all of it, but unfortunately I can't really disclose USA Today Sports
However, it is important to the Grizzlies because it saves them roughly $6.2 million in salary, getting them below the $70.3 million luxury tax threshold and helping them avoid tax payments after the season. The Grizzlies, recently purchased by Robert Pera, who has restructured the front office, had been shopping forward Rudy Gay in an effort to trim salary. This might be a sign that Memphis is willing to keep Gay and see how the season plays out. USA Today Sports
Sources with knowledge of the Grizzlies' thinking insist that this week's hires of ESPN's John Hollinger and veteran agent Stu Lash don't change the status of Grizz general manager Chris Wallace. All three will report to Grizz CEO/managing partner Jason Levien, who has the final say on basketball matters in Memphis under new controlling owner Robert Pera. Yet sources likewise insist that Hollinger will indeed have a prominent voice in personnel matters beyond merely supplying statistical analysis to support decisions. ESPN.com
Memphis Grizzlies owner Robert Perra hopped a plane from Taiwan to watch Dongguan Leopard practice on Tuesday. The 34-year-old computer billionaire wasn't in town to soak up the ambience at Dalang Stadium. He was there to check out 20-year-old Li Muhao, the 2.16 meter, 20-year-old who already has the attention of NBA teams despite the marginal impact he made in his CBA debut last season. "Last year, he scored 20 points for the whole year," said Leopard coach Brian Goorjian. "So he suited up and didn't play, so this year is like his first. "He has a bit of an ankle (injury) right now, but he's really springy, really athletic." China Daily
To some, the $175 million in debt that Robert Pera's ownership group took on to help its purchase of the Memphis Grizzlies may be eye-opening. But not in the world of the NBA, one of its executives said Wednesday. "There is nothing unusual about the financing to acquire the Grizzlies," said Rob Friedrich, a vice president of the NBA and the league's general counsel. "It is standard in the context of team acquisitions and fully compliant with the NBA's debt policies. The financial wherewithal of Robert Pera and this ownership group is very strong and the team remains on a very solid financial footing." Memphis Commercial Appeal
The Pera-led group closed on the $377 million purchase of the franchise from Michael Heisley late last month. A source told The Commercial Appeal Monday night that the group used $125 million available to NBA teams through the league's credit facility and another $50 million in bank financing to close the deal. But that's nothing new in the NBA. Nineteen of the league's 30 teams use the league's $2.3 billion credit facility, and many use it to the $125 million per-franchise maximum. The facility is a pool of money banks provide through the league and offer at lower rates because of the NBA's credit worthiness and other guaranteed future revenue factors such as its long-term television deal. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Franchises are also allowed up to $50 million in financing provided outside of the NBA's facility. The financing is a significant chunk of the purchase, but it isn't known precisely how the rest of the equity is divvied up since Pera's group has said it would not disclose ownership percentages. As controlling owner and chairman, Pera is the largest shareholder. Sources told The Commercial Appeal last month that Pera will own less than 50 percent of the franchise; league rules require controlling owners to own at least 15 percent. Twenty-four people or entities are listed as partners. Memphis Commercial Appeal
Hollins first met Griz chairman Robert Pera Monday night before the 103-94 win over Utah. CEO Jason Levien had lunch with Hollins Sunday, and now they are in the get-to-know-you stage. Levien said he "walked away so impressed, which is hard not to be." Hollins understands that there is a process to advance toward possible contract negotiations. "I didn't get to know (former owner) Mike Heisley in a day," Hollins said. "(Jason) is a nice guy. He's a smart guy and I enjoyed our conversation." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins met with new team CEO Jason Levien Sunday afternoon and agreed with the outcome. "We'll get to know each other over time. I didn't get to know Mike Heisley in a day," Hollins said before the Griz tipped off against the Utah Jazz for the home opener in FedExForum. "(Jason) is a nice guy. He's a smart guy and I enjoyed our conversation." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Pera said he wants to make FedExForum the most technologically advanced arena in the country. He said he wants to use advanced analytics to evaluate players, like the sort used in "Moneyball." He said he wants to build a player-centric culture in Memphis, so players will think of Memphis as a destination. And, yes, at this last one, I rolled my eyes, too. But that's the thing about youth. It tends to dream big. That's supposed to be a good thing, isn't it? Besides, Pera doesn't come across as rash and impulsive, but thoughtful and deliberate. He picked Levien to essentially run the franchise, on the business and basketball sides. The two of them won't make any decisions about Chris Wallace, Greg Campbell or Lionel Hollins until they have a chance to see how the team operates. "We were focused on closing the deal," he said. "We want to learn more." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Jason Levien remembers the first time he played basketball with Robert Pera. They were in Taiwan. They decided to go to opposite ends of the court to warm up. "I look down there, and he's throwing it down," said Levien. Yes, Memphians. Your new Grizzlies owner can dunk. He's 6-3 and can get off the deck. He looks like he could be starting at forward for Rhodes or CBU. Now he's sitting in a luxury box in FedExForum, talking about his plans for his new NBA team. Someone asks him if he's met any of the Grizzlies players yet. "I met some, when we came here in March," he said. "But they might have thought I was Heisley's grandson." Memphis Commercial Appeal
Memphis Grizzlies Chairman Robert Pera announced today that he has named seasoned sports executive Jason Levien as the new Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner of Memphis Basketball, LLC, which operates the Memphis Grizzlies and FedExForum. In this role, Levien will have leadership responsibility for the entire organization; serve as the ownership group's Managing Partner and as an Alternate NBA Governor. "Jason and I share a vision for building a world-class team on and off-the-court," Grizzlies Chairman Robert Pera said. "He has my complete trust, confidence and support in how best to lead our organization's efforts." Sulia
Levien will serve as CEO of Memphis Basketball LLC -- an entity that owns the Grizzlies and will operate FedExForum. Levien is expected to supplant general manager Chris Wallace as the primary decision maker for basketball decisions. "We haven't decided anything," Levien said Sunday in an interview with The Commercial Appeal. "We want to be thoughtful about it and respectful about it. We want to do what's best for the organization." Memphis Commercial Appeal

Did you once take a fishing trip on Jamaica Bay and get caught in an isolated thunderstorm?
Did your favorite uncle take you to Charles Park to watch the Concorde take off from JFK Airport when you were a kid?
Or maybe you grew up in a house that hovered over the water on stilts, waiting nervously for each coastal storm to pass.
If you have a story about Jamaica Bay you love to tell, the Queens Library and producers of the upcoming documentary "Jamaica Bay Lives" want to hear it on April 24.
They'll be recording the stories for posterity from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Queens Library's Broad Channel branch at 16-26 Cross Bay Blvd.
"We're hoping to talk to people who live right around the bay," said Dan Hendrick, the "Jamaica Bay Lives" producer. "But then there's also a lot of people who have just spent some time at Jamaica Bay who we want to hear from. We've had so many people who want to participate in this project and who really see Jamaica Bay as a forgotten place. There is a lot of unfulfilled potential."
The event is in coordination with the Queens Memory Project, an online archive of historical photos, news clippings and other items that tells the history of the borough.
The site is a collaboration between the Queens Library and Queens College funded by a 2010 grant from the Metropolitan New York Library Council.
Natalie Milbrodt, director of the Queens Memory Project, said the Broad Channel event will give the group a great opportunity to reach out to a section of the borough it has not yet covered.
"We're really excited to start documenting South Queens," she said. "It is exciting to think we could use this night to connect with people."
Milbrodt said she hopes to be able to give residents around Jamaica Bay the tools to do their own documentation of history. She said the project will allow people to really get up close to the borough's history and be able to add their own experiences to the archives.
"It altogether gives you a richer, multilayered history." she said. "You get to see a lot of different life experiences happening simultaneously."
Hendrick noted that much of Jamaica Bay's history remains untold or unknown outside of the communities around it.
He is especially interested in hearing stories about Hurricane Sandy and also what people think should happen with the bay in the future.
"We are encouraging people to come in with family photos and films, whatever they have," Hendrick said. "The idea is to have people come in for as much time as they can give us and tell us their story and then tell us where they think we should go with the bay."
He hopes the event will trigger a discussion about the future of the bay and the communities around it.
"This could be the time to really start ushering in some long-term views of how to shape the bay," Hendrick added. "It really reinforces the value of Jamaica Bay"
Residents can register to share their Jamaica Bay story by contacting Dan Hendrick at firstname.lastname@example.com or (917) 207-8715.

Book synopsis
Since the end of the Cold War, the consolidation of peace and security in south-eastern Europe has been one of the most complex and troublesome issues facing the international community. The sequence of conflicts in the Balkans has resulted in serious loss of life, economic collapse, and a number of controversial interventions, leading contemporary scholars to reconsider old perceptions about violent ethnic conflict. Drawing on a wealth of theoretical and empirical sources, this book tackles some of the prevailing questions on the root causes and management of ethnic conflict. Under what conditions do ethnic minorities become violent? How credible are the theories of «relative deprivation» and «greed» in explaining the outbreak of conflict? Is the use of coercive diplomacy a superior alternative to direct military forms of intervention? This book provides an analytical account of the socio-economic roots of ethnic conflict, the opportunities for violent mobilization and the success of strategic coercion in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and it also examines related developments in Kosovo and the Balkans.
Contents: Ethnic Conflict from a Strategic Perspective – The Collapse of Socialist Yugoslavia – Relative Deprivation – The Strategic Environment – Management of the Albanian Insurgency – Strategic Coercion and the Backlash Effect.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
Pavlos I. Koktsidis holds a PhD in the study of security and conflict analysis from Queen's University, Belfast. His research focuses on the causation and violent transformation of ethnic conflict, peace-building, terrorism and counter-terrorism, with a particular emphasis on south-eastern Europe. He is a Security and Conflict Analyst and lectures in International Security and Sociology at CITY College, International Faculty of the University of Sheffield, Greece and at DEI College, Registered Centre of the University of London International Programmes, Greece.

David Crowder *Band Takes Sennheiser Along for its Final Nationwide Tour
Old Lyme, Conn. – August 15, 2011 – As the David Crowder*Band (DC*B) wraps up the remaining festival dates, conferences and one-off performances on its current tour, the band looks forward to embarking on what is likely to be its final tour as a band this fall. Audio specialist Sennheiser will be along for each of the remaining shows, which are on track to selling out to capacity. For the last several years, DC*B has relied on Sennheiser wireless systems and microphones for outstanding sound quality for both vocals and instruments throughout its touring operation.
In what is to be its final year as a band, 2011 has already seen DC*B nominated for a Grammy. The band let loose during its live performances so far this year, playing sets in excess of two hours of lesser-known material in smaller, more intimate venues. No matter what size venue the band plays, their collection of Sennheiser microphones and wireless systems helps the band's sound remain true –- both to themselves and hundreds of thousands of fans. more
