Panasonic's New EYFGA Series of Precision Cordless Clutch Tools take clutch tools to a new level. Designed for production, the EYFGA Series is not only repeatable and accurate, but also capable of detecting cross threads, rehits and is designed for exceptional durability.
Panasonic's New EYFGA Series of Precision Cordless Clutch Tools are intelligent, ergonomic, repeatable and accurate. The tool design incorporates a comfortable grip, weight balanced with minimal torque reaction weighing less than 3 lbs. The fast acting clutch and a photo interrupter (non-contact switch) shuts off the tool immediately giving the tool its accuracy and repeatability. The optional downshift feature can increase accuracy by slowing the tool down just before final torque. Other programmable features include adjustable rundown speeds, cross thread reduction, cross thread / rehit detection, and programmable maintenance intervals. The possibilities for this energy efficient tool make it ideal for any manufacturing assembly process.
Operator Ergonomics
The importance of ergonomics on the factory floor continues to grow which is one reason why Panasonic developed this line of cordless assembly tools. The light weight balanced design, cushioned grip and minimal torque reaction, helps to reduce operator fatigue; therefore, creating a better work environment.
Intelligent Shut-Off and Under Torque Prevention
Over torqueing, under torqueing and operator influenced torques are recurring issues in assembly. Panasonic's clutch tool alleviates those issues with an intelligent auto shut-off and fast acting clutch. To prevent loose or under torqued fasteners, a photo interrupter is activated and shuts off the tool immediately. If the tool shuts off before the clutch photo interrupter is activated the tool will light the NOK signal.
As the operator runs the tool, a CPU monitors the battery level at all times. When the battery no longer has enough power to reach the required torque the CPU automatically shuts down the tool to prevent under torqued fasteners.
Advanced Strategies
Panasonic's clutch tools are far from basic; in fact they are very smart and pose several programmable features such as the tools rundown speed, rehit prevention (double hit), cross thread reduction, downshift, minimum runtime and a maintenance interval alarm feature. When enabled, these features can assist in improving the overall quality of your product.
Quick and Easy Tool Programming / Operator Lockout
To safeguard tool settings, a clutch adjustment tool is needed for changing the torque. The tool can only be programmed by a remote control which eliminates operators from tampering with the tools settings. The easy-to-use remote control can be used to change tool settings; speed, rehit prevention (double hit), cross thread reduction, downshift, minimum runtime, maintenance interval alarm, buzzer, obtain the model number and restore the tool to factory defaults.
4.2 Ah High Capacity Lithium Nickel Battery
Panasonic's 4.2Ah Li-Ion high capacity batteries are the highest rated battery capacity in the cordless tool market. All of Panasonic's li-ion batteries are built with smart technology which constantly monitors the battery to prevent over-charging, over-discharging and it can shut down the battery under extreme temperatures. During the charging cycle, the smart board allows the battery to be charged quickly to 80% capacity then switches to a trickle charge to assure each of the cells are topped off evenly. Monitoring the voltage for over-discharge prevents users from running the tool after it reaches to low of a voltage which could damage the battery or the tool. Plus, an internal temperature sensor flashes a warning light if internal temperatures rise, and then cuts off tool power if battery temperature reaches critical levels. The battery is easy to remove using a simple slide-down release button, can be charged to 80 percent capacity in 55 minutes and fully charge in 70 minutes when charged with the EY0L82B charger.
Reduced Maintenance Cost
Panasonic has increased the life of their tools by using a high efficiency brushless motor, hybrid trigger switch and an accurate robust clutch. The hybrid switch allows the high current draw of the motor and brake to be controlled by a separate circuit bypassing the switch all together. In addition, the robust clutch design was engineered for a million cycles. Utilizing the best components, Panasonic tools reduce downtime, parts costs and maintenance repair costs.
Safety & Product Damage Prevention
Manufacturers are finding that operators are injuring themselves by tripping over air hoses and electric tool cables. Switching to Panasonic cordless assembly tools eliminates the safety hazards of air hoses and electric tool cables.
An advantage of using cordless power tools is that they allow you to eliminate air hose and tool cable damage since they can be very abrasive when moved across a finished surface. Panasonic Cordless Tools reduce rework cost and lost production time by eliminating hoses and cords.
Operator Visual Indicator
Reduce the overall assembly process time with production tools. Panasonic Assembly Tools automatically shut-off and instantly provide the operator a visual for OK / NOK status indicating the fastening process is complete. The highly visible OK/NOK light can be seen from the rear of the tool.
Reduced Energy Costs
Manufacturers are quickly realizing that compressed air is expensive and are looking for alternate options. Cordless tools offer that option and can save up to 95% in electrical cost compared to traditional air tools.
Illuminating the Work Area
When activated a built-in front LED light turns on to illuminate the assembly area. The LED light promotes visibility improving screw and bit placement therefore reducing cycle time. The LED can be programmed to turn on/off with the trigger, or with the convenient switch on the control panel depending on the operator's preference. An additional feature of the tool to conserve battery power is an auto shut-off timer for the LED once the tool is not operated for 5 minutes.

Well, Magic Your Way is still the name of the tickets. When they first came out with them, the packages were also called that because it was a way you could customize your package.
Now they add all sorts of other things like arcade cards, spa discounts, etc., and the "theme" for the next couple years seem centered around "Memories", so they've named the packages as such as well.
I think it is just a name change in general.

NBA Draft Trade Rumor: Celtics Trade Up To #2
Ricky Rubio is coming to the U.S. within the next couple of days to work out for the top lottery teams. Maybe the Celtics should get him up to Beantown for a private workout too. Though they don't have a first-round pick to offer, there are rumblings that Boston is considering a Draft-changing trade into the No. 2 spot.
There aren't any precise details on Boston's rumored offer to Memphis right now, but they'd have to put up some established player to make this deal work. How far would they be willing to go? Read More »

Security Intelligence
What is the Security Intelligence big data use case?
The growing number of high-tech crimes - cyber-based terrorism, espionage, computer intrusions, and major cyber fraud - poses a real threat to every individual and organization. To meet the security challenge, businesses need to augment and enhance cyber security and intelligence analysis platforms with big data technologies to process and analyze new data types (e.g. social media, emails, sensors, Telco) and sources of under-leveraged data. Analyzing data in-motion and at rest can help find new associations or uncover patterns and facts to significantly improve intelligence, security and law enforcement insight.
Ask yourself:
Do you need to enrich your security or intelligence system with underleveraged or unused data sources (video, audio, smart devices, network, Telco, social media)?
Are you able to address the need for sub second detection, identification, resolution of physical or cyber threats?
Are you able to follow activities of criminals, terrorists, or persons in a blacklist and detect criminal activity before it occurs?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, the security intelligence extension use case is the best starting point for your big data journey.
There are three main areas for Security Intelligence Extension
- Enhanced intelligence and surveillance insight. Analyzing data in-motion and at rest can help find new associations or uncover patterns and facts. This type of real or near real-time insight can be invaluable and even life-saving.
- Real-time cyber attack prediction & mitigation. So much of our lives are spent online, and the growing number of high-tech crimes, including cyber-based terrorism, espionage, computer intrusions, and major cyber fraud, pose a real threat to potentially everyone. By analyzing network traffic, organizations can discover new threats early and react in real time.
- Crime prediction & protection. The ability to analyze internet (e.g. email, VOIP), smart devices (e.g. location, call detail records) and social media data can help law enforcement organizations better detect criminal threats and gather criminal evidence. Instead of waiting for a crime to be committed, they can prevent them from happening in the first place and proactively apprehend criminals.
With Security Intelligence Extension, organizations can:
- Sift through massive amounts of data - both inside and outside your organization - to uncover hidden relationships, detect patterns, and stamp out security threats
- Uncover fraud by correlating real-time and historical account activity to uncover abnormal user behavior and suspicious transactions
- Examine new sources and varieties of data for evidence of criminal activity, such as internet, mobile devices, transactions, email, and social media
Using Big Data Analytics to Amplify Security Intelligence
This webinar is a primer for enterprises of all sizes who are looking to use big data to detect, mitigate, and prevent attacks.
Big Data Use Case - Security & Intelligence Extension

Rapper AP.9 has leaked some photos online of him and Ice-T's wife Nicole CoCo Austin, with claims of it being proof of their sex tape. Take a look at the scandalous photos here…
MemphisRap.com — Rapper AP.9, who has been the topic of talk ever since racy photos leaked online of him squeezing on Ice-T's wife, sexy model Nicole CoCo Austin's booty, released some more racy photos of CoCo, as proof of his sexual encounter, he claims he had with the sexy CoCo…
Before now, all that the public had seen were somewhat basic fan photos, which CoCo would likely take with any fan, even in the presence of her husband Ice-T, but this recent photo leak makes the pictures before kind of dry in comparison to the rapper's latest juicy picture of CoCo with her dress pulled up over her behind revealing a likely half naked CoCo. Not your typical fan photo or is it?
AP.9 has already confirmed that he and Ice-T's CoCo had a steamy one night stand but with no evidence, the rapper has been called a liar, fame seeker, and worst by fans, bloggers and critics. Now, not only has he released a new picture, but also a text he claims to have had with rapper Ice-T.
The rapper also showed some photos to DJ's and hosts during an interview with radio station 106 KMEL, to the shock of the hosts who claim 'it's real proof.' Developing…

Australia - a very hard country to leave.
The past couple of weeks have been very special, from the Belvoir in Perth to the Entertainment Centre in the Gold Coast, via Dungog for the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover and many more cities in between. We saw the barrier reef for the first time and played a show in the stunning rainforest in Kuranda.
Willy Mason was an absolute pleasure to tour with, every night he stood up on that stage and delivered a memorable performance. My favourite show of his was Adelaide, where he seemed to take the whole room with him on a musical journey, with people singing along and clapping. It was great. So too were the Zeros, we love sharing the road with those boys and girls. Kindred spirits from far away, it felt like the essence of the train tour we did across America had come with us to Australia. They're just one of the best bands in the world, simple as that!
It was in the Gold Coast that I found the time to delve into Lucy's recipes and pick a meal to cook up for the boys. We have pretty limited resources whilst on the road, both trying to find ingredients but also with equipment. Our friend Wilf, who took over my duties of cooking on the road everyday as of this past summer, has equipped himself with a couple of camping stoves and an electric skillet/frying pan. I used to just about get away with cooking everything in a rice cooker, but it does have it's limitations, so having a couple of different ways to cook stuff really broadens the menu options.
We had sampled some fantastic fish whilst travelling around Oz but hadn't yet come across any Barramundi. Sure enough, there it was on sale in the Gold Coast, and we got 12 portions. The four of us, Captain Nick and the Cowboy Ramblers, Ross and some friends and family.
It was massively straightforward to prepare. We made some slight alterations, making our own chilli dressing for the salad instead of fish sauce, adding some avocado (a tour favourite) to the salad, and shaving corn off whole cobs instead of the tinned stuff. Also, as it was our main meal of the day, we added some tats to fill out the dish - just small, cut up fingerling potatoes, fried off like wedges. Oh, and some blanched Broccoli!
Aside from Wilf's early prep work, the whole meal took about 20-30 minutes to create, which is ideal when trying to throw a meal together between sound check and the venue doors opening.
The meal was a HUGE success, really delicious recipe, and we were talking about how we'd never tasted fish like Barramundi before, if there was a comparison it'd be somewhere between Monkfish and Perch. And, most importantly, it is a fish which is synonymous with Australian cuisine. The name Barramundi, was actually originally derived from the Australian Aboriginal name for the fish.
And the salad was the perfect compliment.
As it's a back to back tour with New Zealand, I believe Lucy has already prepared some dishes for this leg, which will be coming soon. Feedback is really helpful, and we'll try and make it more and more interactive as a blog, the more relevant the feedback is. Basically, suggestions encouraged at every stage!
Love from Wellington, NZ!

Saguaro National Park Air Quality Monitoring
Air Atlas is a GIS database of air quality estimates for 270 parks that are part of the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program. These estimates can be used when on-site monitoring data is not available.
Air Atlas
Atmospheric Deposition Monitoring
Deposition of pollutants, including sulfur and nitrogen, is not measured in Saguaro NP. However, the NPS Air Resources Division has estimated deposition of sulfur and nitrogen in Saguaro NP, using interpolation techniques on data from deposition monitors throughout the Southwest (see Air Atlas website). Although estimates of deposition are relatively low, they are significantly elevated above natural conditions. In many areas of the Southwest, sulfur deposition is decreasing somewhat while nitrogen deposition is increasing.
Ozone Monitoring
Tropospheric (ground-level) ozone concentrations have been monitored in Saguaro NP from 1982-present. The EPA Air Data site ID is 040190021.
Visibility Monitoring
Visual air quality in Saguaro NP has been monitored using an aerosol sampler (1988-1993; 1996-2000; 2001-present). At present, there are aerosol samplers operating in both the Saguaro East Unit and Saguaro West Unit.

Because her husband is a "funny hot" or "fot" (not to be confused with a "never nude"). A "funny hot" is the Shan-gri-la of dudehood — funny enough to make me pee my pants and hot enough to make me drop them. WORD. After the jump, some more "funny hots" I want to make beautiful laughter with. [GQ]

The Many Richard Nixons of Cinema
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 3, 2013 | Comments (4)Amongst all the star cameos in Lee Daniels's late-summer hit The Butler, one performance stands out as a particularly curious bit of stunt casting. John Cusack, with nary any make-up, a slight gruff in his voice, carrying that aura of meandering disinterest and slight condescension he's fine-tuned for nearly a decade struts onto the screen as none other than Richard Milhous Nixon. Cusack's turn as Nixon is both ingenuously lazy and charmingly surreal – no effort is made to convince the audience that the man onscreen is anybody but John Cusack (in contrast to Liev Schreiber's Norbit-esque turn as LBJ), yet the continued reference toward Cusack as one of modern history's most readily recognizable and continually invoked Commanders in Chief has a certain Dadaist charm to it, as if Daniels and Cusack were admitting playfully that this was simply yet another star turn and that Nixon was too large and imposing a historical figure to channel with any serious effort for a film not about Nixon. Nixon himself, of course, probably wouldn't stand for a film not about Nixon. Nixon is a figure that refuses to leave public consciousness. The central subject of more narrative films than any modern President, Nixon's endless contradictions, standalone history, and almost inscrutable public appeal has provided a subject of endless fascination for storytellers of all stripes, from John Adams to Robert Altman. Here's an overview of the 37th President's cinematic highlights.
A Brief History of the Oscar's Commanders-in-Chief
Academy Awards By Daniel Walber on November 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentThe release of Lincoln could not be better timed. The plan must be to get as much of a boost from the presidential election as possible, yet at the same time avoid being cast as part of the political debate, by opening after November 6th. Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner would rather their film be seen as a portrait of a great American hero above contemporary politics, or at least not see it hijacked by 21st century bickering. They have every right, even though upon closer inspection it might become clear where they stand. However, let's leave that for later and move on to some Oscar history. Only four men have earned Best Actor nominations for playing US Presidents, with Daniel Day-Lewis now certain to be the fifth. (For context, the Academy has over the years nominated nine Kings of England.) The list contains one other Lincoln, one Woodrow Wilson, and two Richard Nixons. That's a bit bleak, isn't it?
Culture Warrior: 'Apollo 18′ and the Future of NASA in the Movies
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on September 6, 2011 | Comments (1)From the second half of the twentieth century onward, our view of NASA and its associated lore in movies have been inseparable. The astronaut, a uniquely American frontier hero whose myth and iconography made them the cowboy of the second half of the 20th century, has a position in our cultural memory that is inseparable from cinematic imagination. From pre-moon landing science fiction that dreamed of potential encounters with distant worlds through an organized space program (Planet of the Apes, 2001: A Space Odyssey) to reenactments of history celebrating the space program and the individuals involved (The Right Stuff, Apollo 13) to NASA/moon landing documentaries (For All Mankind, In the Shadow of the Moon) to later, more divergent science-fiction films that have emerged since the prominence of NASA has lessened (Armageddon and so on), NASA, space exploration, the moon landing, and its imagined associations have retained a prominent place in cinematic mythmaking prompted by continued fascination with the frontier of space and humanity's place in it. Hell, we've wondered about the moon since the beginning of cinema. That our collective experience of space in both fiction (i.e., narrative cinema) and non-fiction has been via the moving image (i.e., watching the moon landing on TV) is perhaps what most thoroughly cements this porous association between NASA and its cinematic myth.
The only people who will be vaguely interested in this movie are the media vultures (like me) who just want to see a good, old fashioned train wreck come October.

My wife and I just made our ADR's for our trip in February as today is our 180 day landmark. Lucky us, it is also the first day they are taking reservations for Be Our Guest. We made most of the reservations online, but since Be Our Guest isn't available for online booking until Wednesday, we had to call. We tried for 2 hours to get through and finally when 9:00 rolled around we called the DVC line and were able to make our reservations that way. My wife was ready to cry if we didn't get those reservations. I hope everyone else trying is as lucky as us. Good luck.

I have tried everything from vineger to soaking forever with other boosters. I washed my stinky towels in this 2x & the smell is completely gone. But not only is the smell gone but they smell nice & fresh!
I also scrub my tub for its weekly cleaning! Worked perfectly & eliminated the need for 15 different products to clean with! I give this product so far a big A+ with its diversity in jobs!

I haven't tried this product yet, but I can't wait too! All of the Dirty Job cleaning products I've used so far are the best cleaning products I've ever used! I'm a clean freak and I clean a condo for extra money and I can't say enough about these products.
The De-greaser for the kitchen is the first cleaner I've used that really doesn't leave streaks on your stove top! The bathroom cleaner really gets the mold and discoloration out of the grout.
Thank you for making not only a great product that really does what it says it will do but also at an amazing price! I paid $1.97 for these products at Walmart! Keep up the great work and I'll keep spreading the word!
I am a happy mom. I purchased the laundry additive for my husband, he loves the show and wanted to support the good cause. I did not expect much from the product, but I wanted to make my husband happy. I am so happy with the product. I have three children, and two boys. My five year old son has frequent nose bleeds at night, and the blood stains ruin sheets. My six month old son spits up and those stains have ruined several sleepers and outfits. This product has removed some of the old blood stains and all of the new blood stains from nose bleeds. The spit up stains have all been removed. The product works well on stains in my clothes and my husbands work clothes as well. I am so happy with this product.
Was very excited to do my wash and use this new product. Unfortunately it did not give me the results that I expected. Did not remove grease stains (from clothing of a mechanic), or other noticeble stains on clothing. I feel it is no different from my regular oxy.

Visa's announcement of a move to the EMV standard in the U.S. is both welcome and long overdue and should eventually lead to a substantial reduction in counterfeit plastic card fraud. With the U.S. – the last major market EMV holdout – finally onboard, it will also enable the eventual death of the Achilles Heel of card security – the magnetic stripe on the back of the card that stores cardholder authentication data. This will lead to a substantial reduction in global, domestic and cross-border fraud.
What's not in it for the Merchants and card acceptors?
Despite the strong security benefits, Visa and the card issuers come out much farther ahead in this program when compared to the merchants, as generally seems to be the case when it comes to card industry events. With this program, Visa and the card issuers "incentivize" the merchants to upgrade their point of sale equipment to accept mobile contactless NFC payments as well as plastic card contact payments. (In other parts of the world, the terminal upgrades Visa required were restricted to enabling just plastic contact card acceptance). Unless the merchants adopt this 'dual interface' technology, they won't benefit from potential ability to escape annual PCI compliance validation (except their first one), which is a key incentive merchants have in adopting this Visa program.
Further unless MasterCard, American Express (and Discover) launch similar EMV adoption programs, merchants will still have to validate each year for PCI compliance to these other card brands. In addition, most Level 1 and the majority of Levels 2 and 3 merchants are already PCI compliant. So while merchants may eventually save about $30,000 to $55,000 on the annual cost of PCI audits and assessments (if MasterCard and American Express join the fray), they will now need to fork out at least $30 a payment terminal upgrade to enable chip payments, plus unpublished activation, installation and maintenance fees. The new upgrade fees will almost surely amount to more than the annual PCI audit fees for most large merchants.
Finally, given that at least 75% of merchant Visa transactions must originate from chip-enabled terminals, the merchants won't stand a chance of gaining the benefit of not having to validate PCI compliance annually until at least 2016 or later. That's well after most will have spent all the money on terminal upgrades and years of annual PCI audits.
What's in it for the Issuers and Visa?
Besides benefiting from merchant paid-for terminal upgrades and stronger card security that will reduce the counterfeit fraud issuers are responsible for, the card issuers can now start to count on many merchants trying to avoid annual PCI compliance validation having the equipment to accept mobile NFC payments. And rather than spend the money issuing new smart EMV chip cards to their customers, the issuers can rely to a large extent on consumer-owned mobile phones that are capable of transmitting NFC-based EMV payments. This will enable the card issuers and Visa to compete much more forcefully in the mobile payments world, and not necessarily have to concede market leadership to non-bank players like Google and Apple. The latter companies can benefit from the merchant terminal hardware upgrades done for Visa EMV payments, but if they use different non-EMV payment instruments and standards, they will have to figure out the complex logistics and incentives involved in activating merchant payment terminals with their own message formats and routing the payments to their own payment ecosystems.
Visa card issuers can also avoid spending money on manufacturing and distributing relatively expensive plastic chip cards and will instead invest in lower cost software applications and 'trusted' services that provision and manage mobile EMV payment services to already-paid-for consumer mobile phones.
Further, under the new Visa program, issuers are able to shift even more of the counterfeit plastic card present fraud over to the merchants than they do today, if the merchants don't have their payment terminals chip ready by October 2015. According to the 2010 Federal Reserve Board report on Debit Interchange fees, 57% of reported fraud losses across all types of transactions were borne by issuers and 43% by merchants. Now with the announced liability shift, U.S. merchant fraud liability share will dramatically escalate above the 43% they bear today if they don't chip enable their terminal payment acceptance.
Interestingly and notably, Visa did not extend the shift in fraud liability from issuers to merchants for mobile contactless payments and just kept the shift with plastic contact card payments. Merchants already pay higher rates for NFC payments, according to retailers Gartner has spoken with, which naturally disincents many of them from accepting them. It seems to me from this liability shift exemption, that Visa is doing everything it can to promote contactless payment adoption among the merchants and doesn't want to give them any excuse to push back from accepting them. Visa and the card issuers understand well that widespread merchant adoption is key to NFC EMV-payment success. And that's good business for the card companies because it will boost their merchant fee revenues.
No one can argue against stronger card security and in that sense this program is a very good move. However, in the end, it seems to me that the merchants are paying more than their fair share, just like I think they are today when it comes to card fraud and security.

And MANY happy returns of the day
I posted first and then went back to read the last thread.
Hope that everyone is having a great day either labour or birth day. Is it a holiday in Sicily too Sharon? Although seems to me that most days are celebrated one way or another where you are.
Belated birthday wishes to DD2 Jill. I can believe that you will miss her when she goes back. Yesterday my DD came home - for the funeral of the mother of one of their friends. So the house was full of kids again. She had said that her twins friends wanted somewhere to be between the funeral and 7pm so when they turned up I was not surprised but I had just got them sat down with some food when another two friends turned up - and all without DD. I felt like the dwarves coming to Bilbo Baggins at the start of the Hobbit with me getting all the food out of the fridge and them arranging themselves round the table. In the end they ate all the things I had prepared for DD to take back with her to Beersheva - but that was not my planning. Finally DD turned up with yet another one which made a total of 6 kids around the table. Just so it is explained - the first two were on their way to a wedding, and the other 3 continued from us out to dinner. Guess they are still growing lads..... In the end, DD did not go out to dinner with them and stayed home to study
Good news is that the decorators finally finished and DH is supposed to pay them off finally this afternoon.
Hope that you are having a good day DM. Did your IBS clear up? I hope that Belle is on her bestest best behaviour all day.
Happy birthday, dear Carol! I hope you are totally well and able to enjoy your special day.
It's a warm, foggy morning here today. I managed to stay in bed until 730, quite a feat for me!
Our plans for the weekend got muddled again. PIC and her DD could only come on Saturday, so they were here along with DS2 and TG. Today no one will be here. We have a few leftovers. The loaded baked potato casserole with chicken was terrible. The moussaka was a hit. I will not be eating either of them as I am starting South Beach today.
Jill, I do have a few quart jars of cabbage soup canned in my fridge. I'll be using them for lunches. I'm also going to try to eat some sort of fish at least three times a week. Have you tried dicing up a few slices of pickle into your soup? If you do it into just the bowl you're planning to eat, the flavor is quite lovely. I find it gets washed out if you put it in the entire pot when you make it. A tablespoon of dill pickle juice goes well too.
DH is working at a special blood donor clinic today, so he will be out of my way from 10 AM till 4 PM. DD is enjoying her last day of freedom before school goes in tomorrow. She is really looking forward to it. She knows she will be having her favorite teacher and most of her friends are in the same class this year. Also, they will be in the main building instead of a portable classroom outside. All good news!
Ann, were those all boys who showed up to eat at your house? You are such a good person to feed them! Now what will DD take back to Beersheva with her?
Norma, you probably won't see this until tomorrow but I hope you enjoy your holiday. Good luck starting up on the beach with me on Tuesday.
I saw on Facebook that Bett is home from the hospital and doing well, her DH says she does have a headache.
Hang on there on the beach. I want to join when we get back from Berlin. I took out winter clothes (well our winter) to wear there and - well enough said. I thought of going back to the 5:2 diet again but I would rather join you lot on the beach - or the soup a few times a week would do too. That might be the problem - by the time I have added on "a few" things to each diet - well.....
Yes they were all boys eating Suzanne. There was a girl turned up too but she didn't eat anything. I had tofu teriyaki with noodles and vegetable muffins intended for DD to take back - which didn't make it down south but I made a pot of lentil bolonnaise (DD is getting a bit vegetarian round the edges) for her this morning which she said she would take and some chicken shnitzel (which got rejected). She will be back home on Friday and DS will be back on Thursday probably so it is not so bad that there will be food at home too.....
I am glad that Bett is better - what was the matter?
Happy, happy birthday, Carol!!!
Sharon, Ah, yes, the firepit... Haven't worked on it in a while. I lost steam when DH broke his collar bone and I knew I would not get the help I was hoping for from him. He was going to take down two trees which overhang the area and are too close to the house anyway. I only have a few more pavers to inlay for the border, and then need to dig up the sod inside. It would still be nice to have in the fall, so maybe once DD2 is back at college, I can enlist DH to do his part, now that he is healed. It was on the docket for this weekend, but I have fallen a bit behind on my to do list (so what else is new?) and don't see that happening now.
I am leaning toward going to SC. Think I will pose it to DH as an adventure--we don't have enough of that in our lives. And would of course be nice to be with family.
Ann, So good of you to host all those eaters. I would have done the same--and often do, although must say DD2's male friends are not big eaters.
Suzanne, Best wishes to DD on her 1st day of school. PIC must be thrilled to have her DD back home. I am not much for pickles in other things, although I love them plain. I have come up with an italian spicing of the soup which I like very much, though.
Had a lovely dinner at the Turkish restaurant. Our waiter remembered DD & I from our visit there a few weeks ago. He was a great waiter and brought us each a small piece of baklava, even though we had begged off dessert (because we had birthday cake waiting at home). Our fears of DH not liking the food were unfounded, as he cleaned his plate, unlike DD & I, who took doggie bags. Also ran into some friends there whom I had not seen in a long time.
Must get on to my 2nd cup of coffee and then being productive! -jill
Logan is doing well and too adorable for his own good. Although he is about to be a lonely puppy again, with DD2 returning to college today. I took a cute pic of them snuggling last night, but have not uploaded it to my computer yet. Will post tonight or sometime this week.
Sorry, I don't have any cat discipline advice--have never had one and probably never will.
Hope you are feeling better today, DM. -jill
Hello Ladies,
Oh Carol I'm sorry I missed your birthday, hope it was good. My sister's birthday was yesterday, my friend Linda is the 8th and my son's girl is the 9th. A very popular month.
Are you feeling better today. Is it brought on by something you eat? Is Belle acting up again. I'm telling you Jack was lucky I didn't throw him out this weekend. My husband had pity on me again and slept in the living room so I could get a night's sleep. He is driving me crazy.
So Suzanne I started today - Phase 1. You know me I follow exactly what they write until I figure out what I'm doing.
Breakfast - 6 oz tomato juice - 2 egg whites - 2 slices canadian bacon - coffee with skim milk
Snack - 1 cheese part skim stick
Lunch - 4 oz grilled chicken breast - (made with the olive oil spray on pan) with some spices (no salt added) - Kale
Snack - probably cheese stick
dinner - chicken breast - mixed veggies
snack if needed - sugar free fudgcicle or sugar free jello.
Hope DD enjoys her first day of school. You can tell it's the end of summer on my block. All of the people have returned from their summer outing and now you can't find parking. Plus there are tons of children on the sidewalk playing and running all over the place. I guess that's what happens when you have a dozen kids each.
OK Ann you can join us anytime you want. Enjoy your trip to Berlin. My husband I were just talking about going to Germany. He was stationed there when he was in the army. Asked him if he wanted to look up his old girlfriend Ingrid (hahaha).
Jill I totally get missing your daughter when she goes back to school. I felt the same way. That being said I use to say I cried when they left and then I cried when they came back.
Doesn't cabbage soup make you gasy?
I'm home from quilting and a quick trip to the grocery store. With DH running his card group and DD at school, it's very quiet here.
It has been absolutely pouring rain for the last hour. I had to stand inside the grocery store for a while until it subsided a bit.
I cleaned the pool this morning and back washed it. It is now fuller than ever as we have had about 2 inches of rain. There were huge puddles on the street in the low-lying areas. I was really glad to get home.
Yesterday was a good first day for me on South Beach. Today has been going well also. Norma, I love that you posted what you're going to eat. It all looks so familiar. I eat that breakfast every day. I never get tired of it. I am going to have the cabbage soup as lunch once in a while. Everything in the soup is allowed on the beach. When I get to phase 2, I will try the 5/2 plan.
I did notice that onions are not mentioned as something to have or something to avoid. Carrots are to be avoided. However, some of the phase 1 recipes include onions and carrots. So I will just take it easy, even though onions are my favorite vegetable.
Jill, please tell us what spices you add to the cabbage soup.
Off to get a few things organized while I can.
Suzanne, I just put in some garlic salt, mixed italian seasoning and a chicken bouillon cube. -jill
I'll give that a try with my next batch. Thanks!
I'm never the first to post. Carol are you ok?
For some crazy reason I had a hard time yesterday and yet it is more food that I get on the medifast. I did modify it a bit. For dinner I had turkey instead of chicken and my afternoon snack was laughing cow on a celery stick. Otherwise I'll pretty much stick with this.
I love that breakfast also. Just had it with a cup of coffee. We finally bought a keurig machine here and the coffee is much much better. I enjoy in the morning.
Hope everyone is well. Where is everyone????
It's a beautiful sunny morning here. DD has just left for school. Wednesday is always a work at home day for me and DH. We'll see what we can accomplish today.
Norma, sometimes I heat the tomato juice in the microwave. It's like having a hot cup of soup. Good luck on day 2. I have not had any hungry feelings yet.
I made Boeuf Bourgignone overnight in my crockpot. DS1 and TG are coming for their weekly dinner. DD wants mashed potatoes which I will avoid. I am making broccoli and cauliflower steamed together and a raw veggie selection. Also will use up some tired apples in a cake.
We continue our battle with the fruit fly infestation. I left a bottle of wine with a bit of wine in the bottom out on the table overnight. There are lots of flies drowned in there!
I try to cover everything, but somehow they find a way in.
Carol, did your furry alarm clock forget you this morning?
Where is Carol, sharon and Ann. Is Ann in Berlin? I hope everyone is good.
The fruit flies had been gone for a long time. They suddenly reappeared on the weekend. War is on!
Suzanne I have every confidence that you will win the fruit fly fight (hahaha).
Carol I was worred because you never not post. Here's to a speedy recovery or at least let it pick up a bit.
DM, I hope you are feeling a bit better? I wonder what happened to Neets. Strange. Do you know for sure that she is still living in London?
Sorry I wasn't around, been busy. We were away in London last weekend, doing some sightseeing! We did an interesting tour of the Houses of Parliament and then we went up the Shard (tallest building in London) where we got some amazing views around London. All in all it was a good weekend.
On Tuesday it was my uncle's funeral. So that was sad and yet a chance to catch up with so many people I have not seen for a LONG time! His family gave him a lovely send off.
At the Wake afterwards, my mum was astonished at all these people coming up to chat to her! Bless her, it took her a while to remember a lot of them! And she keeps saying to me "I was amazed at how many people knew me". You have to laugh............
I stuck with her so that when she was chatting to people I could help out if she got confused (or if they got confused by her!!) but then my cousin's wife came to chat and it was clear that she has experience in working with people with dementia (she is a nurse). She was brilliant with my mum and they had a lovely natter.
So I got home late on Tues and was up at 5 yesterday to head back to London for work. I'm at home today and then tomorrow we're away to Exmoor in the South West of England for a long weekend. Hoping for some nice weather. Or at least dry weather! It is nice walking country.
Well that is mememe....
it was a wonderful memem post. Let's us know what is going on in your life.
So Carol how are you feeling today.How long has it been since you heard from her? I doubt she would move without letting you know.
Trying to figure out our next vacation. They have hired so many new people this week I'm really concerned about taking time off but I know I have to. I want to visit my florida son and have made arrangements for Feb 25th to March 4th. Now I'm trying to figure out something for November. Tired of going to the same places but we always wind up doing that. We are so boring................................
It's another glorious sunny day here today. There's a bit of a breeze and not too much humidity yet.
I slept really well last night, probably because I did not lie down at all during the day. I was really tired by 7:ä30 when I got upstairs.
TG and DS 2 found a terrific deal on a tablet for DH for Christmas. We had planned to have the four kids go together to buy him one, but they were so excited they insisted on giving it to him last night. He is supposed to wrap it up again and put it under the tree at Christmas time! It is a Samsung Galaxy Tab3 with all the bells and whistles. One of the local banks had been giving them out to people who started up a new account. They returned 40 of them to Costco recently. Costco decided to liquidate them at $100 each.
Not to be left out, DS2 got one for himself as well.
The weekly ads came today and one of the stores is selling covers for this model at half price. So both of my man will head out today to get themselves one.
I have been having a quiet morning here. Yesterday I put 2 pork roasts in the slow cooker. This morning I pulled them for Saturday's barbecue event. Then I made two apple breads.. which just came out of the oven. In between I am working in my sewing room, trying to control the chaos in there.
The fruit fly battle continues. I have two traps set up. The wine bottle is doing fairly well. Also, I have my compost bin in the kitchen sink. When I see a lot of them in there, I put the lid on and carry the whole thing outside to release them.
Carol, I'm not sure if they hibernate. I think fresh ones show up on tropical fruits. Or at least the eggs come in that way.
Norma, how are you doing? I wouldn't be sorry about going to Florida every year!
I'm making a giant Cobb salad for us for lunch today. Soup is on the menu for supper, I'll have the cabbage one, and the family can have cauliflower, broccoli and cheese which I will make from last night's leftover vegetables.
Good morning,
Not a thing to report. Well, I took apart a half done baby blanket because of a mistake and decided to do it on a larger needle. It isn't so tight and will be larger but the baby doesn't know this.
The weekend cometh. For us this means Sunday and Monday.
Hello everyone,
Very busy with payroll today. There are probably about 150 people on the job now so I have to try to keep up as best I can.
Everyone sounds well, thank heavens. Carol these are scary times in your neck of the woods. What's with the beheadings??
Anyway stay well, enjoy and have a great weekend (Sharon do you have sunday and monday like we have saturday and sunday>
Norma, we do Sunday and Monday because Andy works on Saturday and has Sunday and Monday off. However, most folks work Saturdays here and only have Sunday free. School is also a six day week.
We are back
We had a great time in Berlin. It is a great city - very accessible and with lots happening and not very expensively. We went with another couple who know the city so for most of the time I did not even have to think about where to go or how. Their underground is much more complicated than London's. We ate well, (I have a number of things to check out and try to copy at home), went to the museums, some jazz, drank more beer than I usually do in a year, rode a bicycle through the parks and generally had a good time.
Glad to hear that your mother is doing well DM. Scary about the murders in your neck of the woods. How is the IBS? Funny about Belle and the singing - our cat used to be fascinated when I practised the violin. We never decided if he liked it or just could not believe it but he used to come and sit and watch with an incredulous look on his face.
Lucky you can laugh about your mother Jan. And good that she can get along so independently still. How is one supposed to talk to someone with dementia? You said that your niece(?) knew how to do it.
Yes please do post the picture of Logan and DD2 Jill. Is she back already at college? Is she with the same room mate she had before? This is her last year right?
I can recommend Berlin as a holiday location Norma but probably not in November. We had great weather. What about coming here?? Very nice weather in Eilat in November.
I should think that it is nice to have a weekend when other people don't Sharon. Any more talk about retiring? I forgot to say that I made your crispy rice balls and they were very well received. I made them with sushi rice and then put sashimi salmon on top. I added an egg like you said but I think that the sushi rice may be sticky enough anyway not to need one. What do you think?
Congratulations on the dieters. I am thinking not to start SBD phase 1 but to try the eat when hungry approach for a bit. M, one of the friends we were in Berlin with had bariatric surgery (not sure what kind) quite a long time ago and lost 110 pounds which was half her weight. She has kept it off since then and I watched how she eats - a bit at a time until she is not hungry and then waits until she is hungry again. She was drinking beer fine and actually had a go at most foods but always only a bit at a time. So I admit that I forgot about doing that on my porridge this morning (scoffled the lot) but ate only about a third of my lunch salad and will eat the rest later. With that I will try to keep to SBD phase 2 things at all and M quantities and see how I go. I might make up a batch of soup to have in the evenings too. What do you put in it apart from cabbage people? Italian seasoning sounds good.
I hope the above picture shows up for you. It's DD on the first day of school!
Suzanne, Neither picture showed up for me.
DM, Our prior dog, Corbin, did not mind if one person sang, but he hated in-unison singing like happy birthday or when we sang the prayers at Chanukah. He would bark his head off. We would say he was singing with us, but we knew he really was protesting. It got to the point where we would just light a candle and he would start barking because he knew what was coming. Logan seems puzzled by singing, but he doesn't bark.
Ann, Sounds like you had a great trip! In my cabbage soup I put either half of a chopped cabbage, or lately have been cheating with a bag of coleslaw mix from the store (works great and saves time). Plus one chopped onion, a few sliced carrots & celery stalks, sliced mushrooms, sliced zucchini & yellow squash, a container of chicken broth and a can of diced tomatoes. I add about a tomato can of additional water and then the seasoning (garlic salt, italian seasoning & a chicken bouillon cube). You could just add fresh garlic, but I don't tend to have that in the house, as I am the only one who eats it, and it goes bad before I can finish even half a bulb.
DD2 left for college on Tuesday. Already have a list of things she forgot and need to send to her. Ann, yes, DD2 has the same roommate. They are BFFs, which has enriched her college experience for sure. This should be her last year, but she needs to confirm that she is on target to graduate early and that the college is aware she is a graduating senior, not a junior. I still have not uploaded the pic of her to my computer, but here is a link to pic of her & Logan, which I just found out was in the local newspaper in June:
DH & I are going to my sister's wedding in Charleston. Funny--he took no convincing. I told him I decided I wanted to go and would he come and he said yes, so that was it. Yesterday went to DH's BFF's FIL's funeral (if you followed that). Saw their daughter, who I have not seen in a long time. She gave me a big hug and started talking about the barbecues we had in our back yard when she was a girl. Guess that is a happy childhood memory for her. Told her to plan on a big one next summer when DH turns 60 & DD2 turns 21.
On the docket today: laundry, picking up a few things at the little grocery store, finances/paying bills, making more soup, going for a walk, grant writing, packaging up DD2's forgotten items. How many of those things do you think I will actually accomplish? Most, if not all, I hope. DH is back from his motorcycle meet up and getting ready for his trip to visit his mom. Won't have to make dinner tonight, as we have leftovers from the italian casserole I made last night. -jill
Sorry that neither the picture nor the recipe appeared. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Lovely picture of your DD, Jill. And the cute puppy as well!
I buy a bulb of garlic and put each clove through my garlic press. I put it in a small glass jar and cover it with oil. It keeps forever in the fridge. You can scoop out some crushed garlic when you need it or you can use the garlic oil. You can buy it this way in the grocery store, but the jar is far too big for me!

Trust me, at this point I am crazy tired of writing about how nasty a dude Mel Gibson is. But this new revelation is so shocking, I had to share it. As we've heard the story for a while, during a fight on July 6th, Mel punched Oksana Grigorieva twice while she was holding their baby, Lucia. The alleged hits were with such force that they supposedly broke Oksana's front teeth and gave her a concussion. But according to a source who passed Oksana's statement on to the police, the fight got way, way, worse. After being hit, Oksana fell on the bed and Mel allegedly tried to choke her with one hand and covered her mouth with the other—while she was still holding the baby. He then allegedly took out a gun and began waving it around. He allegedly threatened to kill her, baby Lucia, Oksana's 12-year-old son (Sascha, who was hiding in the bedroom), and then himself. Oksana then fled the house with both Lucia and Sascha. Sascha was apparently interviewed by child protective services about the incident last week. Keep reading »

Heavy-handed dialogue, couched in "dude talk" so maybe this feels more daring than it is? If Louie CK wasn't in this clip, no one would give it a second thought.
That is the most convenient explanation since Tom Cruise novelty-danced his way to a "spontaneous" movie deal.
"Written by" is a term they are using LOOSELY. ("He walks to the bed. He slightly frowns. A Phoenix song plays." REPEAT FOR TWO HOURS)
Does anyone else suspect that this deal was in place already, and some fresh young thing at the PR agency said: "Wait until the MTV movie awards to say: 'Hey, who WOULDN'T love a movie about this?" .
Otherwise, this seems to be the FASTEST OF FAST-TRACKS.
Goodbye, Hater! We'll miss your sub-par version of Videogum!
In pop culture, "Self-aware" is starting to become "Self-hating".
I have had to call 911, and yes, that is basically what it sounds like. I don't know if it's "bored" as much as "can never sound panicked".
"This is heavy."
Finally, a reaction to Crispin Glover's "Clowny Clown" video.
P.S. Look at the drivers hands. These are late middle-aged women hands. I don't know why that freaks me out.
Who's gonna put on the Bea Arthur dress?
I know we all love and cherish the classic dialogue from the first TRON, (I have a TRON quote-a-day calendar) but I saw this preview before Alice and Wonderland last night, and this is a masterful piece of writing compared to that cruddy fan fiction.

Nope, still looks awful.
I have a lot of ugh in my heart over "I Heart Huckabees".
The baby was heard crying, but I think that it's the nanny's work at this point.
Let me first say that I love this show, it's wonderful, et. al.
But does this show go a little too deep into the idea that "All married couples are balls of deep-buried repression and hate" and that the single women that Don meets (and bangs) are free-wheeling sirens? I mean, THE SIXTIES, I get it, but is it a little thick?
That aside, my favorite stray parts:
-The date bread that Don wraps in a napkin, and takes to work.
-Paul playing at being "Mr. Progressive", and then yelling at Peggy's vagina.
-Paul's spooge towel.
-The fact that Lois will apparently never be fired, even after being a total incompetent. Especially at not chopping off workers limbs.
I feel relief knowing that the first of the "gimmick" commenters has been ousted. This isn't "Family Matters", where you will out-shine the star as some break-out asshole. Just NORMAL asshole, amIright, people???
Something tells me this ain't right.

I try not to be a product junkie and try every natural product made for naturally curly, wavy, kinky hair. But sometimes I fail at my attempts to not sample major products.
I usually try the leftover products on Diva's thick curly, wavy, and unruly hair. Some products work temporarily, but most don't.
My little handsome has a head full of curly hair. I love it so much that I'm delaying his first haircut until he's at least 5 years old. Although his curl pattern is more defined and manageable compared to Diva, I went out looking for a natural product to detangle and moisturize his curls.
Target-my go to store for EVERYTHING! I saw Shea moisture for kids line. I didn't even know they had a line for children. In the store I tested the detangling spray on handsome-rubbed it in. The feeling was moisturizing and a little sticky, but it was working through his hair and didn't leave his hair feeling sticky. Ok...so now I needed a moisturizer. I open the moisturizer (yeah I did-y'all know you do the same things in the store) and rub a little throughout his hair. I was instantly impressed with the combination.
We get home and I spray handsome's hair generously with the spray. Using a wide tooth comb I detangle his hair with ease. This product alone gave his hair a nice shine. The smell is nice. Only con is the stickiness on your hands after applying. But you was your hands after doing hair, right? So no problem. :)
I rubbed the cream on my hands then onto his hair. The consistency is thick and creamy. It also has a nice smell to it. This provided great definition to his curls and moisture. I braided his hair for the first time and it's been 4 days and his hair is still nicely moisturized. He sleeps with no scarf to retain moisture, but did you really expect him to?
The combination of these two products are definitely a win! I paid $9.99 a piece for each, and was hesitant at first, but it's definitely worth it. They also have a shampoo and conditioner that I may try soon.

Morris Lapidus famously said: "If you create a stage and it is grand, everyone who enters will play their part." No one can deny that his most famous stage, the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, is appropriately grand. Defiled by critics of the day as overly garish and flamboyant, the New York Times called it "inspired superschlock." Yet it was embraced by the jet-setting public of the '50s and '60s, and its sexy, sweeping lines served as backdrop for such movies as "Goldfinger" and "Scarface."
But like many icons of the day, the Fontainebleau, with its 17,000-sq.-ft. lobby and legendary "Staircase to Nowhere," fell into disfavor. No longer playing host to celebrities like Elvis Presley and Judy Garland, the hotel quietly sat until the area's resurgence in the '80s and '90s. In 2008 the Fontainebleau received a $1-billion expansion and face-lift, including three retail shops by H DeVinn Visual and Mancini • Duffy that recapture the Lapidus magic and reinterpret it for today.
Aquamarine is the lower level swim shop, set under one of the restaurant kitchens. The designers had to contend with mechanicals, grease traps, and pipes set above a low, accessible ceiling. "That space kept changing and shrinking," recalls John Rawlins, director of interior design, H DeVinn Visual. Despite the limitations, Aquamarine still impresses with its Dorothy Draper-esque sensibility and features Thai silk curtains, mirrored panels, and a vintage Venini "starburst" chandelier. A Rococo mirror creates a focal point, while a white rubber Baroque armchair provides a restful spot for shoppers. The front door is pure glamour, reminiscent of a 1950s movie star dressing room entrance.
Ida and Harry is a shop that offers an eclectic array of exclusive designer clothing, shoes, and accessory brands. Named after one of the owner's grandparents, the store's undulating floor plan recalls the sweeping form of the hotel itself. "The wall of circular vitrines was inspired directly from Lapidus' original design," says DeVinn Bruce, creative director, H DeVinn Visual. "They are strong totems that we wanted to capture." The hand-knotted carpets are reinterpretations of the original, while a set of lounge chairs and curvaceous benches are actually original Lapidus designs. Mirrored, mosaic-tile walls lend a lizard-skin effect. "It's a graphic, bold space that pays homage to the 1950s but still is fresh and modern," says Rawlins. Indeed, materials like LED lighting and translucent resins ground the space firmly in the present.
Sundries can be found at Morris & Co., a 495-sq.-ft. jewel box that features all of the notions, lotions, bits, and bobs one would expect in a hotel convenience store—but the similarities stop there. The high-end offerings and gifts are displayed like gems on polished chrome and white lacquer shelves. Even the usual sundry items receive special treatment with each tucked into one of 72 drawers of a custom apothecary table. "Usually that kind of merchandise is displayed on a pegboard, and it ends up a mess," says Edward M. Calabrese, creative director, retail group, Mancini • Duffy. Silver mica chip wallcoverings, clusters of mercury glass, and cobalt-blue poured-terrazzo flooring surrounded by white marble that spills out into the lobby complete the space.
All of the shops walk that fine line between inspiration and imitation, a feature that Fontainebleau director of retail operations Brooke Soffer demanded from the beginning. "The retail needed to be in line with everything else in the space," she recalls. "The three had to be cohesive but with each one still being able to stand on its own." The stores are doing a great job of standing on their own, as each venue is in the black during this difficult economy, and there are plans to expand. "They are more than just a convenience to our 1,500 guests," Soffer continues. "The shops have unique items that pull locals in as well as delighting savvy travelers."
"They definitely look special; not like the management leased out a corner of the space to some random retailer," says Calabrese. "Everyone's eyes were on this project from the start, and I think it has surpassed expectations."
It even fulfilled some wishes. "Lapidus is a personal hero of mine," admits Rawlins. "He started in retail interiors like me, and when I was in college I stayed at the Fontainebleau. I like to think he would be happy with what we've done."
