looks fun!
That is the only bullpup I've ever thought looked good and I'm a bit jealous now.
I'm gonna stop you right there, you just said an AR-15 is a high-powered rifle. It is obvious you don't know anything about guns and I shall ignore anything you say from this point on.

Conan O'Brien's guest list hints at exit
POSTED: Wednesday, January 20, 2010 - 1:20pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 3:14am
LOS ANGELES – In the strongest indication yet that Friday indeed will mark Conan O'Brien's final "Tonight Show," a list of the booked guests for the rest of this week released Tuesday featured Will Ferrell set to appear Friday.
Ferrell, of course, was the first guest on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien" when the show launched June 1.
It has become somewhat of a tradition on "Tonight." Jay Leno's first guest in 1992, Billy Crystal, guested on what was supposed to be the talk show host's second-to-last "Tonight Show" episode in May. (Leno is now set to return as "Tonight" host March 1.) The reason why Crystal didn't appear on the very last episode was that, in a demonstration of what was billed as a seamless transition, Leno's guest then was Conan O'Brien.
It is safe to say that there is zero chance O'Brien would return the favor.
Other big names scheduled for O'Brien's final week on "Tonight": Tuesday, January 19: Quentin Tarantino, Paul Bettany and musical guest Spoon; Wednesday, January 20: Adam Sandler, Joel McHale and musical guest Joss Stone; Thursday, January 21: Robin Williams and musical guest Barry Manilow; Friday, January 22: Tom Hanks, Ferrell.
As for the official announcement of O'Brien's exit and Leno's return to "Tonight," it was delayed again Tuesday as the two sides have not settled yet on the size of the severance packages of the "Tonight" staff.

i hear that!!! he is a moron and if 30 million can't satisfy him, he needs to have his head examined....he sucks and he is not funny at all,and he needs to take whatever they give him and go... i wouldn't give him 5.00....
Who really gives a flying flip about this unsavory reject from Ireland. Send him back to the peat bogs where he belongs.


text: Cavalchina is the name of the district where the winery is located, probably after the residence of the Conte Cavalchini. It is on the southeast border of the Garda amphitheatre dating from the end of the Ice Age.The Azienda Agricola Cavalchina was created in the early 1900s with the purchase of the first vineyards. Later the cellar was built and originally included a distillery, which was in use until 1967. By the 1960s the Piona family felt that the white wines of Custoza deserved better recognition than simply being labelled as Soave. From 1962 they were the first producers to label their white wines made from Fernanda, Trebbiano and Garganega with the Custoza name and to promote the name in key markets around Italy such as Rome and Milan.

We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

llitI'm a paragraph. Click here to add your own text and edit me. I'm a great place for you to tell a story and let your users know a little more about you.
Little Pieces of Gold is new writing company that was established in 2010 by artistic director, Suzette Coon. We set out to discover, nurture and develop new writing from emerging writers and to engage new and diverse audiences from across the UK. Since then we've produced the work of over one hundred playwrights and attracted thousands of aspiring writers to submit their plays. Our showcases garner much industry interest, introduce writers to literary
agents and have gained a reputation for facilitating long term creative collaborations and providing a platform for new voices, theatre makers and performers.
'This production is filled with a wonderful variety of wit and humour, clever concepts and poignancy.'
Everything Theatre (Jan 2013)
'Playwrights imagine the future in Festopia at Theatre 503'
What to See: Lyn Gardner's Theatre Tips (Jan 2013)
'Little Pieces of Gold really is a little piece of gold - there's no glitter in sight. Its creative director Suzette is supportive and encouraging of new writing and it is a great place to showcase your work. After my short play 'TOILET' was put on at one of the events, I was picked up by a BBC person who then invited me in for meetings and a training course for writing for BBC. I really appreciate LPoG and hope that it goes on shining.'
Atiha Sen Gupta TOILET
'It's a great arena to try ideas out you may use in longer work and see what reaction it gets from the audience. I've also met and gone on to work again with directors, writers and actors through LPG. Finally, LPG enables you to show people what you do - it's helped me get longer work produced, get agents interested and get published. You really should write that short play and send it in - from the smallest acorns and all that ... '
Jimmy Osborne, THIS IS JACK, LEAVE A MESSAGE ALRIGHT, PERFECT NOW, TRANSMISSION
'The standard of work is high and the competition stiff so, after a few previous attempts, I was extra delighted when my short play Indignitas was selected by Little Pieces of Gold to be part of Festopia. The tech rehearsals at Theatre 503 were orchestrated with supreme professionalismby LPG's mega-unflappable stage manager Marie Kearney (by comparison the average NASA astronaut would come across as a dithering incompetent). On the night the house was packed, the performances of all the plays was spellbinding, and the audience was buzzing. Little Pieces of Gold offers writers a seriously professional yet exciting and enjoyable opportunity in a creative supportive atmosphere. 24 carats!'
Jonathan Skinner, INDIGNITAS

Vaal crash bus was roadworthy: Putco
Comment on this storyA bus that plummeted off a bridge, killing 19 people in the Vaal Triangle on Monday, recently underwent a roadworthy test, a Putco official said.
Spokesman Raphiri Matsaneng said the driver of the ill-fated bus which crashed in Meyerton had been employed by Putco since September 2011. He was killed in the accident.
"The bus had undergone a roadworthy test on June 14 this year," he said.
"The bus was travelling from Sebokeng to Henley on Klip (near Meyerton in the Vaal Rand) and it was certified to carry 85
passengers Ä 65 seated and 20 standing," said Matsaneng.
He said 55 adult passengers were injured.
"There were only passengers going to work and no children were on board," he said.
Matsaneng said the cause of the crash had not been determined and the company would commission an independent investigator to ascertain the cause.
Earlier, ER24 spokeswoman Vanessa Jackson said the injured were rushed to different hospitals in the greater Vaal region.
She said two of the three critically injured were airlifted to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital. - Sapa

A Long Island City man who pleaded guilty in January to felony vehicular manslaughter for driving drunk and killing a deliveryman will spend time in prison.
"It is not just the defendant who pays a heavy price for drinking and driving," said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. "His reckless actions resulted in the untimely death of a hardworking man who came to America, hoping to make a better life for himself and his wife. Now she must go on without him. Individuals must come to understand that when they drive under the influence of alcohol, their vehicles cease to be means of transportation and instead become deadly weapons capable of inflicting great bodily harm not just to themselves but to all who cross their paths."
Richard Contreras, 29, of Greenpoint Avenue, pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular manslaughter on Jan. 18, before Queens Supreme Court Justice Dorothy Chin-Brandt, who Tuesday sentenced Contreras to an indeterminate term of 3 to 10 years in prison.
Contreras was driving on Feb. 12, 2010, when he hit the scooter of Jianqui Chen, 52, at the intersection of 39th Place and the Queens Midtown Expressway. Chen died as a result.
Contreras fled the scene but when he was found, an test administered revealed a blood alcohol content reading of .195 percent, far surpassing the legal limit of .08 percent.

Full Text of the President's Speech to CongressPosted on Sep 9, 2009(Page 2) The plan I'm announcing tonight would meet three basic goals. It will provide more security and stability to those who have health insurance. It will provide insurance for those who don't. And it will slow the growth of health care costs for our families, our businesses, and our government. (Applause.) It's a plan that asks everyone to take responsibility for meeting this challenge—not just government, not just insurance companies, but everybody including employers and individuals. And it's a plan that incorporates ideas from senators and congressmen, from Democrats and Republicans—and yes, from some of my opponents in both the primary and general election.
What this plan will do is make the insurance you have work better for you. Under this plan, it will be against the law for insurance companies to deny you coverage because of a preexisting condition. (Applause.) As soon as I sign this bill, it will be against the law for insurance companies to drop your coverage when you get sick or water it down when you need it the most. (Applause.) They will no longer be able to place some arbitrary cap on the amount of coverage you can receive in a given year or in a lifetime. (Applause.) We will place a limit on how much you can be charged for out-of-pocket expenses, because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they get sick. (Applause.) And insurance companies will be required to cover, with no extra charge, routine checkups and preventive care, like mammograms and colonoscopies—(applause)—because there's no reason we shouldn't be catching diseases like breast cancer and colon cancer before they get worse. That makes sense, it saves money, and it saves lives. (Applause.) Now, that's what Americans who have health insurance can expect from this plan—more security and more stability.

Saturday, September 19
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium/Hollingsworth Field
Attendance: None
Oxford, MS (Sports Network) - Jevan Snead threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns, as the fifth-ranked Ole Miss Rebels rolled to a dominating 52-6 win over FCS opponent Southeastern Louisiana.
Snead completed 16-of-28 passes and was not intercepted for Mississippi (2-0), which has achieved its highest ranking since 1970. Brandon Bolden added 105 yards on the ground on 13 carries, as the Rebels recorded 258 rushing yards.
Jesse Grandy, Enrique Davis and Cordera Eason each scored a touchdown on the ground for Ole Miss, while Pat Patterson had four catches for 79 yards and a score. Shay Hodge and Andy Hartmann both had a touchdown catch, and D.T. Shackelford returned an interception for a touchdown.
Brian Babin completed 17-of-26 passes for 188 yards with an interception for Southeastern Louisiana (2-1), which was facing its highest-ranked FBS opponent in school history. Jasper Ducksworth led an anemic rushing attack with 36 yards on 11 carries, and Simmie Yarborough had nine catches for 60 yards in defeat.
Ole Miss took the opening drive 82 yards in nine plays. Davis capped the drive with a two-yard touchdown to put the Rebels up less than four minutes into the contest.
Neither team scored again until the first play of the second quarter, when Snead hooked up with Hartmann on a five-yard scoring play to cap a three-play, 31-yard drive that was aided by a fumble recovery deep in Southeastern Louisiana territory.
The Rebels' lead was stretched to 17 on the team's next drive, as Joshua Shene connected on a 42-yard field goal with 10 1/2 minutes to go in the first half. Just before halftime, Mississippi drove 81 yards in eight plays, and Snead found Hodge from four yards away for a score and a 24-0 halftime lead.
Jeff Turner's 28-yard field goal put the Lions on the board early in the third quarter, but an eight-yard touchdown run by Eason and a 29-yard touchdown reception by Patterson gave Ole Miss a commanding 38-3 lead heading to the fourth.
Turner doubled the Lions' point total 5 1/2 minutes into the fourth with a 32-yard field goal, but the Rebels poured it on in the final moments on Grandy's 46-yard scamper and Shackelford's 58-yard interception return for a score to account for the final 52-6 margin.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

ok i activated it and i got an error on odd 103 but we checked signals while on the phone and they looked ok. She said this happens tons of times every day..then when off the phone i went to all the test channels and all was OK...funny thing is, no channels below 80 were in the guide, i went to all channels i receive but couldnt even see the channels to check them....rebooting now so hopefully i'm just missing something silly
so far i dont notice any hard drive noise
edit yes , fixed it, the channels are there!
...now watching my 1st show and when i FF i do hear the drive but it's not as bad as the last one. But never heard the drive on the 100 model. oh well.
Remember, not all the 20-700s make that "seeking" noise to the extent that it is so noisy you can't stand it. I've got some that don't, some that do. The ones that do are relegated to a noisy room and used only as servers.

Lianzhou (Chinese Postal Map Romanisation: Linhsien; simplified Chinese: 连州; traditional Chinese: 連州; pinyin: Liánzhōu), or Linchow, is a county-level city of northern Guangdong province, People's Republic of China. Lianzhou is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Qingyuan. Lianzhou has become famous as the host city of Lianzhou International Photography Festival (LIPF) and as a Historic and Cultural City of Guangdong province.[1][2]
Lianzhou has a long history. In Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, Lianzhou was controlled by Jingzhou city. In Spring and Autumn period, it was in the possession of Chu state. In Qin Dynasty, it belonged to Changshajun prefecture. In the Western Han Dynasty (206 A.D.), Yangxian prefecture consists of Lianzhou, Liannan and Lianshan three cities. In Sui Dynasty (581-618), the Emperor Kaihuang set Lianzhou on the Ben prefecture.
On 8th December, 1949, Lianxian prefecture was liberated from Kuo Min Tang(KMT). On 20th December in the same year, the People's Government of Lianxian was set up. On 22nd Apri,1994, approved by the State Council, Lianxian was revocated and changed as Lianzhou, hosted by Qingyuan. In 1996, the government of Guangdong province authorized Lianzhou as a Historic and Cultural City.[2]
There were four sayings why the name of Lianzhou was from.
- Lianzhou was rich in coptis because of Coptis Mountain (now belongs to Lianshan Mountain).
- There were many mountains surrounding Lianzhou. So there was an old saying that "thousands of mountains were roll into one and so did the rivers"("连万山为一山,连众水为一水").
- Lianzhou was rich in tin ore. As an old saying says that "the plumbum before refined was called Lian" ("铅之未炼者曰连"或"铅锡璞名曰连").
- Because of the many mountains and rivers, the region was semi-isolated. Travelling by road was historically difficult.
Lian contained the meaning of vehicle and boat, expressing it was argued the desire of people to improve the transportation network.[2]
Located in the northwestward portion of Guangdong, Lianzhou spans from 112° 47' to 112° 7' E longitude and 24° 37'N to 25° 12' N latitude. The city is located on the Lian River, up the Little Bei River, adjacent to the southeast of Yangshan prefecture, southwest of Liannan prefecture, and borders north of Linwu prefecture of Hunan province. The total area under the city's administration is 2663.33 square kilometres.[3]
Lianzhou has a subtropical monsoon climate and is affected by the monsoon: in the winter half of year (October - March) prevailing the northeast monsoon, and in the summer half of year (April - September) prevailing the summer monsoon, mainly southwest wind.
Lianzhou's resources of temperature, light and water are rich. Lianzhou has an obvious montanic three-dimensional climate, so it is good for crop grownth and four-season tillage.[4]
Administrative Divisions[edit]
Lianzhou consists of ten towns (Lianzhou town, Bao'an town, Xingzi town, Longping town, Xian town, Dongbei town, Fengyang town, Xijiang town, Jiubei town, and Dalubian town), and two nationality townships (Yao'an, Sanshui).[5]
From 1953 to 2000, Lianzhou participated in five nationwide censuses.
According to the survey of 1953, Lianzhou had 57,622 households and 238,648 people (124,762 men and 113,886 women).
According to the survey of 1964, 62,797 households and 286,368 people (146,392 men and 139,976 women).
According to the survey of 1982, 83,053 households and 426,165 people (218,370 men and 207,795 women).
According to the survey of 1990, 99,769 households and 460,075 people (237,819 men and 222,256 women).
According to the survey of 2000, 112,692 households and 409,360 people (212,292 men and 197,068 women).[6]
Natural Landscapes[edit]
As an old poem "连州水石冠南陬" said, [7] it was the nature herself who has sculpted such wonderful scenery of water and land in Lianzhou.
In Tang Dynasty, when the poet Liu Yuxi retreated as a feudal provincial official of Lianzhou, he wrote that "剡溪若问连州事,惟有青山画不如". Furthermore, Han Yu, a famous litterateur of Tang Dynasty, also praised Lianzhou's beautiful landscape in Yanxiting Ji ("吾州之山水名天下").
In the late Ming Dynasty, Qu Dajun traveled around all the gorges in Lingnan area and wrote Guangdong Xinyu. What he praised highly in his book is the Huangchuan Three Gorges. Tanling Rae'era is the highest lake in Guangdong province, 640 meters above the sea level.
Running through four mountains, the Lianzhou Underground River is approximately 1,500 meters in length. Named as "The First Underground River in Guangdong Province", it has many oddly-shaped stalactites, sea fogs, steep cliffs, old pines, thermal springs and waterfalls.
Cultural Landscapes[edit]
As a Historic and Cultural City of Guangdong Province, Lianzhou has many cultural monuments such as Huiguang Tower built in Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Yanxi Arbour built in Tang Dynasty.
Known as an important protected relic of Guangdong province, Huiguang Tower was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and has a history of more than 1,500 years. Named as "The Oriental Leaning Tower" with a tilt value is up to 1.0472 meters.
Fushan Old Temple was also built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is one of Grotto-heavens of Taoists and has an extremely high religious value. [8]

Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC:US), the second- largest U.S. independent oil and natural-gas producer by market value, solicited bids for some of its assets, including coalbed- methane properties in Wyoming and certain midstream holdings.
Anadarko has received bids for its assets in the Atlantic Rim project in Wyoming, New York-based Warren Resources Inc. (WRES:US) said in a statement today. Anadarko is its working interest partner, Warren said. Brian Cain, a spokesman for The Woodlands, Texas-based Anadarko, declined to comment on Warren's statement.
Anadarko's possible sale may include coalbed-methane holdings, a 50 percent stake in midstream gathering, compression and pipeline assets, and mineral rights in deep formations that may hold Niobrara oil, according to the statement. Warren will decide whether to exercise its right to buy an interest in Anadarko's properties once it knows the results of the bids, the company said.
On July 30, Anadarko reported a $628 million after-tax charge in the second quarter that was mostly related to the declining value of coalbed-methane properties because of lower gas prices. In February, the company issued a fourth-quarter report that included about $1 billion in after-tax impairments that were mostly related to coalbed methane holdings.
Anadarko rose 3.4 percent to $70.53 at the close in New York. Warren Resources increased 7 percent to $2.89.
ConocoPhillips (COP:US) is the largest U.S. independent oil and gas producer by market value. Independent oil companies don't own refineries or chemical businesses.

One word defines New Mexican cuisine: chiles, which find their way into everything from hamburgers to eggs. There are two varieties, green and red, and choosing an allegiance is a bit like picking a favorite football team. (You can always ask for "Christmas"—meaning both.) Green is fresher and brighter tasting, while red is smokier and often hotter. The preponderance of chiles and the lack of cilantro separate New Mexican cuisine from Mexican. Quiet the heat with after-dinner sopapillas—doughy, fluffy fried-bread confections meant to be dribbled with honey.
Chef Martin Rios has lived in New Mexico most of his life, but he eschews chiles and spices for his flavors and sauce reductions. The result is a menu that...more

I got the color "coral ambition". And i adore it! Its the perfect color for spring! The color pay off is wonderful. This is my go to lip product! I cant wait to go and buy more colors.
More reviews by makeupjunkie3251
Okaaaaay . First off I LOVE <3(: this lipstick ! it's the best drugstore lipstick I've ever purchased ! The color comes out how it's suppose too and it's moisturizing just like a lip balm . Go buy four or more ! You'll run out quick with this product because you'll fall inlove <3
I adore these. I have several shades and I would say these are the perfect cross between Revlon Lip Butters (too much pigmentation, not enough hydration) and the L'Oreal Colour Riche Balms (not enough pigmentation). They feel like and dreamy, they have a fantastic scent (like Fruity Pebbles) and the shade selection is huge.

I am truly in love with this product! I got it at Kmart for $6 or $7. I got this in Bare To Be Bold first. It's a sexy, light nude. Shiny and moist, just totally yummy. It doesn't last outrageously long but I have no problems reapplying. I recently got this in Go Nude and it's definitely nude! These are the only 2 colors I'm interested in at the moment. They aren't very moisturizing or last longer than an hour or two but I don't care. They look amazing! I do wish they were a couple dollars cheaper though!
I LOVE THESE! They are sheer, but still nicely pigmented. I wouldn't say they are moisturizing, but they are definitely not drying. They are glossy at first, but when they dry on your lips they leave a nice stain for a while longer. For the record I hated the Revlon Lip Butters-blaspheme I know. I hated them because they were not quite pigmented enough and more importantly, I had a reaction to them. I had a rash on my hand where I had swatched them for a month and my lips got sore and swollen. I really liked the idea of the lip butters, but all the similar products at that time were also very to not at all pigmented. The makeup gods pretty much answered my prayers with these lipsticks. I also like the packaging better than the lip butters-they are sleeker and slimmer. I currently have five colors and they are all quite pigmented (even the pale ones) and buildable.
Lust for Blush-this is a muted slightly cool toned mauvey MLBB pink for the fair skinned. This color seems to be the most popular and my local stores as it's usually sold out. It's my I-don't-have-to-think-about-it color.
Coral Ambition-very pale bright peachy pink. I have be careful what I wear with this one because it can look to young for me. I tone it down with a gloss sometimes.
I typically wear relatively muted light colors. Because these are so sheer, I'm braver about trying colors that normally seem to bright for me. It's a great way to take baby steps towards trying brighter or darker colors.These next three are all in that category for me.
Petal Rebel-light cool toned bright baby pink. So gorgeous. It's my second favorite after Lust for Blush. I wear this as an every day pink.
Pink Possibilities-this is a warmer pink, and more fluorescent and a shade darker than petal rebel. They are pretty similar, this one is just bolder and brighter. I personally prefer petal rebel on me, but I think less albino skinned people will like this one a lot.
Rose of Attraction-this is a darker, redder pink/rose. This is a more mature color but still pretty bright. In the tube it looks like there is some glitter but I don't see or feel it on my lips.
Overall, my favorites on me are definitely Lust for Blush and Petal Rebel. In this picture, left to right is MAC creme cup for reference, Lust for blush, petal rebel, pink possibilities, rose of attraction, and coral ambition. The swatches are very true to color.

Edit: 05/13/13 Clearly, I have a problem...I bought three more. Pinup peach, Faint for Fuchsia, and Made it Mauve.
Pinup peach-this is a medium reddish peach color. It's an easy to wear every day color. If you don't want actual red but in that family, this is a good one.
Faint for fuchsia-this one is like Petal Rebel's big brighter sister. It's that same cool toned pink, maybe with a dash of purple, brighter and darker by a shade and more opaque. I love it. It might be my second or third favorite.
Made it Mauve-this is a medium rosy brown and an ideal fall color. It's quite opaque like faint for fuchsia. Think of colors like MAC twig or cosmo-it's no dupe but the same color family and more sheer. Most of the colors I tried are quite bright (partly due to me trying to venture into brighter lip world); this is the most muted of the colors I tried, followed by pin up peach. I will LOVE this one in the fall.
6 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The texture is melting, not heavy, very slightly slippery and extremely comfortable. Cool-toned colors like Mad For Magenta give the highest degree of translucence with a good pop of color. Warmer colors like Orange Attitude are fine, but as with all yellow-based sheer colors the pigment has a tendency to streak and settle into lip lines.

I like the Revlon LB's better than these...These are moisturizing but I do find the one I have to be a bit oily.
ehhhh....I'm not sure if it's too early in the game to report but I just don't see the hype. I went crazy and decided to try every "balm" out there, although not classified as a balm, it's trying to follow the lip balm/butter trend. I bought these in coral ambition and pin up peach, I wore pin up peach yesterday and it was very pink and not very peachy. I had to reapply it on several occasions and when I couldn't, (I was shooting a short film) it had made my lips very dry and tight. I don't know, compared to Revlon's lip butters, which is pretty moisturizing, this stuff kinda blows. I will update if things change, maybe it's different colors? And I think the stick itself is really skinny and you don't get a lot of product.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have this in petal rebel, and it is a perfect pink color. I have naturally very dark pink lips and this glided over them and leaves them with a very sheer pretty pink color. You do have to apply over and over again to get the color desired but once its on it stays on for a good amount of time - few hours.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
LOVE these things. I have three so far, in Coral Ambition, Oh La Lilac, and Lust for Blush. all the other reviews here pretty much sum up everything that is great about them and I completely agree. They are so low maintenance and I believe much more wearable colors than some of the revlon lip butters! Also Lust for Blush is almost an exact dupe for Mac's Creme cup. Would buy again 100X over.

Yesterday Shawn decided it was a day for an impromptu picnic and we headed out the door with no particular place in mind. We discovered a new Earth Fare Market in a neighboring city (so sad, it's just a wee bit too far to really shop at, but I would consider moving to be closer to it ) and popped in and picked up some amazing vegan everything cookies, fresh hummus, and fruit and sammies, and landed at The Emerald Necklace in the Metroparks.
We watched boats and skipped rocks and enjoyed the dry heat of the day. It felt so amazing out. I really love summers and they always seem to be gone before they start. We plan on making the most of ours, getting out to do as much as we can, and enjoying all of the things our amazing area has to offer. And, making lots of memories.
How was your weekend?

A recent study revealed that, in spite of the significant investments companies are making to build relationships with their stakeholder communities, only 13 percent report satisfaction with their engagement outcomes. How can there be such a disparity?
Perhaps the answer is that effective engagement, whether online or in real life, is just a bit more difficult than it seems. True engagement with our community is well worth the effort. Here are four pitfalls to avoid for high-impact community engagement.
1. We don't count the costs of disengagement. Quite often, my clients realize that they are disengaged from key stakeholders the moment they miss out on an opportunity that they could have easily seized had they been more engaged. It is fairly easy to count the costs of a missed opportunity. The harder thing is to estimate loss from the would-be opportunities that never manifest because we are disconnected. Engagement is profitable. Profits come in many forms: peace, relationship equity, new opportunities, influence, impact and money – all worth the investment.
2. There is no strategy. Effective engagement is partially organic and partially synthetic. We build robust, sustainable and profitable stakeholder relationships when we declare a long-range intention or strategy before tackling tactics.
Strategy is both wholesome and profitable to employ high-level thinking when it comes to the foundational elements of community and stakeholder engagement. Decide and define: Who you are; What you are called to become; What legacy will you leave. Indulgence in this type of intimate, strategic thought about the individual or organizational 'self' ultimately defines the ways in which our strengths, passions and values poise us for service. When we plan first, we are empowered to defining and authentically deliver our best. The organic elements of engagement naturally flow from this beginning.
3. Our people cannot find us. Once we know who we are, what make us special and what we have to offer, get help sharing your story. It is tough to do and share at the same time, so ask for help getting the word out. Friends, colleagues and communications/PR consultants can offer a fresh perspective on who should be made aware of you or your organization. Remember that being highly successful in any endeavor requires that you attract some and repel others. The magic is in making sure our people, the folks that like what we are about, can find us.
4. We do not hear our stakeholders. The first three were all about us. Here comes the flip: Engagement begins when we start listening to, and serving, our stakeholders. To serve we must hear; to hear we must listen. On a personal front, this listening time might be regular breakfast or dinner with family. From an organizational or community perspective, this listening may take the form of periodic surveys, town hall meetings, keeping the pulse of online communities or good old fashioned one-on-one conversations. Regardless of the form, the end goal is to really hear stakeholders' desires and priorities. True engagement with people is about making their priorities yours.
We can maximize stakeholder engagement by honoring its profitability, creating a plan and listening to serve. So let's go! Get on out there, engage and change the world. Our community is waiting.

Best Blocks for the Money?...
I''m not sure what is meant by "best" - best value? If some kind of absolute ''best'' is meant, what''s the context: racing? strength for weight?
I made the same decision Paul did when upgrading all our sailing hardware and replacing the mainsheet traveler (and for the same reason: ease of use by my wife when on-watch alone). My conclusion at the time was that the Garhauer products were the best value available and also entirely suitable for our application (cruising offshore). I compared our choices with Harken and Lewmar (from Defender) but, while prices were higher, being able to handle the hardware (which is abundant at boat shows and on every new Catalina plus other boats I could go aboard) was also very helpful.
OTOH I''ve consistently been underwhelmed by the whole process of buying - and eventually, some day...maybe - receiving a Garhauer order. Perhaps things have changed from 2000 and 2003 when I placed big orders (with one exception, of very common components) but I had to make repeated calls, nag and plead in each case, and eventually got one order with an improper main block on the mainsheet track. I would probably do the same thing again next time - which says something about the value and performance I think we got - but boy, they could sure clean up their act.
And BTW I''ve heard this same story from many, many other customers. My advice is to not put yourself in a position where you are in a hurry for them to fill an order.

I have a stoger cougar 8000 .40 s&w and a rough looking Nagant revolver. I found a guy with a auto ordinance 1911 .45acp and he wants to trade for the both of them. Is that a good deal for me? I really don't like the stoger so getting rid of it is no big deal to me but I like the Nagant revolver so that's what's got me on the fence about it. The 1911 comes with no ammo but I have 250 rounds of .40s&w and 100 7.62 Nagant that I think I will sell as extra. Let me know what you think This is a pic of the 1911

I NEVER heard a good story abot Auto-Ordnance 1911's. Some may have had good luck with them, but I would say NO to such a deal. The Cougar is a nice gun. By its self worth more than the AO

If the Auto Ordinance is made in Hurley then N-O! Run. It will say on it, ask.
Pre- Kahr 1911s do not have a good reputation for reliability or quality of parts. Unless it has been gutted, and rebuilt completely with good parts I would consider running from the deal. They made a few good ones, but there is a reason they went out of business and ended up getting bought out. After they were bought out, Kahr retooled. That says something. If you have shot it, and it runs fine and is accurate and feeds ammo that is not FMJ you could consider it. If you wanted to buy it to do a rebuild, that would be ok but I would consider the cost if all the parts and labor in the offer on the AO.
Trade !...................
When all else fails.
The gentlemen that are saying run are knowledgeable about 1911's. I would run on their advice.
I would ask who did the work on the 1911. If you really want to trade, check the 1911 out very carefully. (There is a sticky about buying a 1911 that you should peruse.)

I had an AO and the key word is had and not for very long. The new ones might be OK but leave the old ones alone. You can buy a decent new 1911 for $500 and sometimes less.

Recent infighting in the Montana Republican Party has been brought to light the disagreement over who should be our next candidate in the general election for the United States Congress. As a past Yellowstone County chairman and long-term Republican activist, I can say unequivocally that the best and most electable choice is Ryan Zinke.
Having recently gotten to know Zinke, I have learned that he is a true conservative with exceptional character. His love of country is self evident by his serving as a navy SEAL for 23 years fighting and bleeding for our liberty. Zinke is a man of his word and will protect our conservative Montana values. His main platform issues are protecting Montana's high-paying energy jobs, limited governmental intrusion and energy independence.
After fighting for his country, he knows how fortunate we are to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. Ryan Zinke will represent all Montanans well in Washington. The choice is clear and I urge you to support his candidacy.

Kim Jong-un gets another title in bid to show his importance (+video)
North Korea today announced that Kim Jong-un is now a 'marshal,' the highest military rank.
Seoul, South Korea
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un rose to the rank of marshal of his country Wednesday in the latest act of symbolism, evidently intended to show that he's in charge seven months after the death of his father, Kim Jong-il.
North Korea's state radio and TV networks disclosed the move around noon Korea time, after having told listeners and viewers to await "an important announcement." The portentous nature of the advance notice gave the impression that a drastic overhaul in the power structure was under way. After all, the last time North Korea said an "important announcement" was coming at noon was Dec. 19, when a wailing woman in black delivered the news that Kim Jong-il had died two days earlier.
Instead, however, the news on Wednesday only served to reiterate that Kim Jong-un, to outward appearances, reigns supreme as successor to his father.
The urge to embellish Kim Jong-un's image with a super-rank suggests to some experienced observers a sense of insecurity about the man, widely believed to be in his late 20s. "This is a reflection of instability," says Kim Tae-woo, long-time military analyst here. "The most important interpretation is North Korea wants to establish the new leader."
Kim Jong-un's military credentials are especially vulnerable since his father only named him a general in Sept. 2010.
His newest title represents, perhaps, a climactic move in a shake-up in which Ri Yong-ho, the chief of staff of the Korean People's Army, which includes all of North Korea's armed forces, was ousted. After Mr. Ri, a vice marshal, was "relieved," another military leader, Hyon Yong-chol, was named a vice marshal – though it was not clear if he had replaced Mr. Ri as chief of staff.

"What is the nicest thing someone could do for you today? Then go do it for someone."
Perhaps, I should. Why not today?
I live in an area that isn't that much into multi-sport. Seldom do I mention what I love to do to others. When I do their reaction is often a blank stare that can often precede falling asleep.
So today, I would like to be listened to. That is what I want. I would like someone to seriously, actively listen, as I blabber on and on in excitement about my training, possible events, goals, dreams, bikes, courses, and so on. That is what I would like and that is what I need to give. So, today, I will actively listen to someone else, whether I am initially interested in their what they want to talk about or not. Today, I would like to be listened to someone, like I would love to be listened to myself.
And perhaps, in stepping inside someone else and stepping outside myself, I will grow, and gain more from the giving attention than the receiving? Like the words of an old John Denver song: "exactly where it's coming from is where it's going to." The song is talking about love, and I guess I am too. Jesus calls us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Perhaps it is an act of obedience to love someone enough to really listen to them?
Being listened to is so close to being loved that most people can't tell the difference.
David Augsburger
The miles of the journey in life, to include the discipline of endurance sports, and the struggles to live out my faith, have often provoked and provided spiritual and inspirational revelations, as well as a heighened awarenesss and appreciation for my many blessings.

Hi, I was visiting a friend and slept on their mattress which was a miramont pillow top sealy plush. I went to purchaseit and found out that mattress is discontinued.What mattress in the current offerings by this company would most closely resemble this mattress? This question is important to me because a good night sleep is hard for me with fibromyalgia/back problems and our weights (husband and I) are about 180 and 200 lbs.
What would you suggest?
Kathy in New Jersey
Hi Kathy. Pillowtops don't generally keep their shape well, especially under heavier people. I'd suggest looking for a plush Sealy Posturepedic without a pillowtop. If you find that you'd like more softness, add a soft latex topper, which will do that job and keep it's shape much better over the years.

lexusguy Posts: 6,419True, but I actually see more hope for GM than Chrysler and more for Chrysler than Ford. The re-beaked 500 is going to be a dismal failure like the current car a blandmobile.
And the "new" Focus? UGH! Its like they took their inspiration from the Toyota Echo. Its absolutely hideous. The Euro Focus looks great, is one of the best handling small cars on the planet, and rides on the new Mazda3\Volvo S40 platform. Ours is an ugly rehash of the tired old focus. Brilliant strategy there Ford. -

Sat in the 2007 X5 at the showroom today. Not as much legroom as in the 2005 X5 I drove. Wood doesn't seem as nice either. Huge step up to enter. Can easily twist an ankle stepping down.
Not a vehicle for the senior set or the orthopedically challenged. Third row "symbolic" at best.
Disappointing! -
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441Sat in the 2007 X5 at the showroom today...
Well, then, you may have saved me a trip to the BMW dealer. I've been curious about the new X5.
The new GL diesel sounds nice, and there will possibly be an additional version with a bigger V8 diesel as well. Only thing is, it seems too big. We'll probably just keep the wife's MDX for a while longer. She likes it enough, and it's been flawless so far.
TagMan -
hpowders Posts: 4,269The new MDX is on my "have to drive" list. I will check out the 2008 model next year. Hope they have parking sensors by then. And perforated cooling seats. And real wood. And a power lift gate available in basic, sport and technology packages. And a different front grille. And desperate dealers who are watching inventory pile up and ready to see things "my way." :blush:
PS: This of course, if my outrageously low offer for the 545i is rejected. -
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441Wife's MDX is an '06, loaded, and yes, it has parking sensors with the camera, nav, satellite, bluetooth, voice command, i-pod link, DVD rear-entertainment, and a long list of options and accessories. No power tailgate, however, and fortunately she's never expressed a need or desire for that.
As flawless as her '06 has been, I'm guessing the new version starting with '07 is likely even better.

dewey Posts: 5,243The new GL diesel sounds nice.
A V8 diesel with California diesel prices?
I think I will wait a few more years before seeking an alternative fuel efficient drivetrain. I am looking forward to a lithium ion battery powered hybrid (a Chevy Volt or a Toyota/Lexus hybrid) that wont share the same burning fate as Sony laptops.
The diesel alternative sounds soooo 19th century. And the other fuel efficient alternatives sounds soooo 20th century---CVT or 8 speed transmissions, low friction engines, accessories decoupled from the engine,, displacement on demand systems, cam phasing and multicam engines. Squeezing out fuel savings from these alternatives is like squeezing a dry lemon.
For fuel efficiency the 21st century belongs to hybrids and fuel cell autos. IMHO at least. -
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441There you go again.
The new diesels are not only modern, but will be an even better partner to the electric motors than their gas counterparts, as diesel/hybrids start to make themselves a reality... first in Europe and then in the States.
And... the diesel GL costs at least $1500 to $2500 LESS than its gas counterpart, so the savings begins even at the point of purchase, let alone the continued savings at the pump. (unlike hybrids, whick take forever at the pump to make up the hybrid purchase "premium".)
Sorry, Dewey, diesels are modern and will be part of diesel/hybrids, and beyond that they will burn alternate fuels as well. All modern thinking, my friend.
It won't be all that many years after their introduction that modern diesels capture at least 9% of the entire market here, and will ultimately outsell gas/hybrids. Mercedes will sell 15% of their SUV's as modern diesel models.
Want to place a bet on this?
Here's some info on diesel hybrids in Europe:
plugged-in diesels for Europe
Here's some info from C&D on the Mercedes GL diesel you might find interesting:
'07 Diesel GL
BTW, I absolutely do agree with you about fuel cells, however. But that will come later, not sooner.

It's a bet! My prediction is that by 2013 non-hybrid diesels in N. America will become relics of the past as plug in hybrids become more mainstream. -
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441Well, let's be clear here. My point is that the diesel engines are indeed "modern". And I'm talking diesels whether they go solo or as a diesel hybrid. It's the "gas" ice that's not modern. It's ancient... goes back to the historical beginning. and that's why your beloved gas hybrid is going to have competition from both diesels and diesel hybrids, just like the ones I linked in my original post about this.
So, my bet is on the diesels representing 9% of the entire market by 2013, whether or not they are solo or married to an electric motor makes no difference to me.
TagMan -
hpowders Posts: 4,269Well the new MDX is a stylistic improvement. How could it not be? But it really doesn't stand out from the crowd.
One reviewer mentioned that when he drove it (when it first came out), nobody looked.
No "wow" factor and that front grill really should be modified a bit.
The MDX looks like a lot of other SUV's, only it performs better. Its 3rd row while still not terrific is not the joke that the X5's is. (I sat in the new MDX at the auto show).
I'm curious enough to take one for a drive next year. It really has to be pretty special for me to like it since I am not an SUV person and I am looking for only 1 vehicle. -

tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,4412 golf carts, eh? You and the wife both golf your seperate ways, or are we talking golf party?
Anyway, yeah, that 2012 928 looks sweet to me. Others may not like it, but I'll say if I can hold on to this 911 for 5 years, I'd be a player for it as a possible replacement. Of course, who knows what might be on the market by then.
Maybe I should have known this, but I guess you are retired down there in Florida?
TagMan -
hpowders Posts: 4,269Yes. I retired at 51 and live in Florida. My wife uses the golf cart for traveling around the community. I am the only golfer. The quick off the line acceleration of the battery-powered golf cart is as close as I will ever get to experiencing a hybrid-powered vehicle.
I'm with you. I believe ultra low-sulfur diesel will make it big over here soon.
Jay Leno had a cute spoof of that self-parking vehicle last night. If you missed it, it's probably on You Tube. Hilarious! -
dewey Posts: 5,243So, my bet is on the diesels representing 9% of the entire market by 2013
OK the clock is ticking real fast now and we have only 2,170 days to go to find out who wins this bet. By then both of us will be driving hydrogen BMWs and talking nostalgically about the good ole days of disputing hybrids vs. diesels . -
dewey Posts: 5,243
tagman Malibu, CaliforniaPosts: 8,441OK. So, I'm looking for diesels (either solo or diesel hybrid, so long as they are DIESEL) representing 9% of the market by 2013. Your position is that it won't happen. If this is our bet, then you're on, and you'd better print this out and save it in a safe place.
As you said, by then, the hydrogen will be in use, and I'll add that global warming will have made Canada a vacation paradise. :P

dewey Posts: 5,243The VP of Toyota Motors predicts a cheaper Lexus will be available soon. Imagine a tiny Lexus hatchback competing with a MINI Cooper?
According to this theory, someone in her 20's might buy a Scion, trade up to a Toyota sedan in her 30's, and then, when she is older and perhaps has more money, might move up to a Lexus. The goal is to keep a buyer moving through the three divisions, all owned by Toyota.
But now, some Scion buyers are trading up directly to sporty Lexus models, like the IS sedan, despite an effort to make Toyotas look more stylish.
In the 1990s, consumers "for the most part bought cars by the pound," meaning the big S.U.V.'s and pickups then in vogue, said James Lentz, executive vice president of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.
Now, he said, "kids want smaller, but not cheaper." Mr. Lentz said the average buyer, who is 25 years old, pays $18,000 to $19,000 for a car, including accessories like wheel covers and interior features.
While it is a big leap from there to the Lexus price range, Mr. Lentz said it might be time for Lexus to consider selling something cheaper. "The luxury market over time has really evolved," he said, and Lexus is considering "the fringe of each end" meaning smaller cars and those priced above $100,000.

Each winter, an estimated 20,000 red-headed, long-legged sandhill cranes descend upon the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Birchwood, as part of a migration pattern that originates in Indiana.
For 23 years, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts from across the country have gathered to celebrate this winter spectacle at the Sandhill Crane Festival, which will take place on Jan. 18 and 19, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The annual festival offers visitors the opportunity to view the cranes and learn about the rich historical and cultural heritage of Southeast Tennessee.
For two days, the rural community of Birchwood transforms into a premier eco-tourism destination, offering free shuttle service between three festival sites: the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge, located at the confluence of the Tennessee and Hiwassee rivers; Birchwood Community Center, three miles from the wildlife-viewing site; and the Cherokee Removal Memorial Park, located at historic Blythe Ferry along the Tennessee River.
The Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge has one of the largest wintering flocks of sandhill cranes in the southeastern United States. More than 20,000 cranes winter there from November through February.
The 6,000-acre refuge offers ideal conditions for the cranes: 450 acres of corn, millet and milo, along with shallow water and mud flats. The area is also home to other waterfowl, bald eagles, and the occasional federally-endangered whooping crane.
In an effort to help visitors get an up-close look at the cranes and other wildlife, guides from the Tennessee Ornithological Society and Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency will be on-hand with viewing scopes at the refuge.
Crane viewing is best in the morning. The birds tend to fly in the afternoon and return to the refuge around 3 p.m.
Along with the opportunity to view the cranes during the festival, nature and history-themed programs, regional music, food, vendors and children's activities are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at the Birchwood Community Center (formerly Birchwood Elementary School).
On Saturday at 1 p.m., TWRA state ornithologist Scott Somershoe will discuss Tennessee's Golden Eagle population, and on Sunday at 1 p.m. TWRA Region III Biodiversity Coordinator Chris Simpson will provide a research update about bats in Tennessee.
The American Eagle Foundation from Pigeon Forge, will present its renowned raptor show at 2 p.m. on both days.
Blue Moon Cruises will offer eco-cruises on the Hiwassee River during the festival (reservations required).
The Cherokee Removal Memorial Park, an official Trail of Tears site located within the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge, will highlight the history of the Cherokee people in Meigs County, during the festival.
The 29-acre park overlooks Blythe Ferry, where approximately 9,000 Cherokees, 500 Creeks and 127 slaves crossed the river during the Cherokee Removal in 1838. The park features a visitor center and short trail to an overlook of Blythe Ferry.
This year, the park will showcase its Cherokee Removal Memorial Wall, unveiled in 2013 in memory of the Cherokee people who were forcibly removed from their native homeland in the Southeast.
The memorial features the names of 2,535 heads of households, as well as the number of persons in each household, based on the 1835 Henderson Roll, a census of Cherokee people east of the Mississippi River.

reviews & comments (74)
I also made this for Thanksgiving. Great flavor and so easy. Perfect side dish for when you've run out of ideas. Roasted the vegetable the day before worked great!
I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and everyone raved about it. I roasted the fennel and shallots the day before (just pick out the really burnt pieces), blanched the beans earlier Thanksgiving day and sauteed everything together in some butter. Delicious!
It was OK. I prepared this for Thanksgiving for a few people and got mixed reviews. Personally I thought it had too much oil that overpowered the natural flavor of the beans. The roasted fennel and shallots, while greasy, had alot of potential. Think I'll try to rework them into a different recipe and use less oil.
Great recipe. I am not a green bean lover but with the fennel and shallots, it made a nice combination. The only thing I would do different is cut the fennel and shallots a little smaller. I think I cut the wedges a little too big for the delicate beans.
I served this elegant dish for the first time at Thanksgiving and it got rave reviews from everyone. It was easy to roast the fennel and shallots ahead of time as well as blanch the haricot vert. Just before serving I heated everything in the olive oil in a large skillet.
This is a tasty dish. I would use the 3 tablespoons of olive oil to coat the vegetables to be roasted. Maybe 1 T. for the skillet if that. I do like the idea of adding the green beans to the roasted veggies in the oven the last 5 mins before serving. Will try that next time.
Fantastic combination -- a hit even with my husband, who normally dislikes fennel. I do think the dish would have been too oily if I'd used the full 5 tablespoons, however. As instructed, I used 3 tablespoons to coat the fennel and shallots, but I only added enough oil to coat the pan (which I then blotted with a paper towel to absorb the excess) when heating the blanched green beans and roasted vegetables. An olive oil mister also might work.
This recipe is good in theory but has some major problems. Our veggies were charred within 25 minutes at 450, so make sure you check on them. Plus the number of pans is annoying for a simple side dish. If I were going to do this again, I'd probably roast everything in a pyrex dish and throw the beans in to roast 5 mins before the end. Also, almonds are a nice addition.
Mushy and greasy, as one of the previous reviewers observed. There's something missing from the recipe, or I'm not understanding it. Two fennel bulbs is one heck of a lot of fennel--so much that there's no way it could fit on a pan even without the shallots. 450 degrees is one very hot oven, so the outermost layer of a shallot burns and falls off when stirring, allowing the next layer to burn, etc. so there's not much shallot left. I never bothered with the beans, simply throughing the whole greasy mess away.

For breakfast, Blue Jam Cafe's Crunchy French Toast—eggy brioche rolled in Corn Flakes, grilled and topped with fruit—is a must. Or, grab a breakfast burrito from Corner Cottage and start your day off in classic Angelino style. When lunchtime rolls around, Mercado is a fine option, as is the popular noodle house Daikokuya. If it's a piled-high pastrami sandwich you crave, head to Canter's Deli—offering great deli options with a side of LA rock history (Slash used to work here). For dinner, make a reservation at the hip new Italian restaurant Bestia, or if you're feeling really fancy, try and get your name on a guest list for one of LA's super-secret supper clubs.
And finally, go to In-N-Out Burger—you know you want to, and it's totally worth it. Just don't forget to order that Double-Double Animal Style (lettuce, tomato and mustard-cooked beef patties, pickle and extra spread with grilled onions).
Venice Beach is a great place to stroll around, and nearby Abbot Kinney is lined with chic local shops and restaurants. While in Venice, we highly recommend you stop by N'iceCream, recently ranked by Travel + Leisure as one of the best places to get dessert in the entire world.
Highland Park is another great off-the-beaten-path area worth the trek. Flanked by Figueroa Street to the east and York Boulevard to the north, walking down either will satisfy your shopping needs, as both are well-equipped with expertly curated boutiques featuring local designers, vintage warehouses, record stores, book stores and more. Bonus: This neighborhood is also known for having some of the best tacos and jugo joints in the city.
From dive bars to glitzy clubs to craft cocktail lounges, the city is so huge that you should have no problem finding your nighttime niche. In West Hollywood, The 3 Clubs, Pour Vous and Bootsy Bellows are all great places to get your drink on if you're looking for that smoky, vintage vibe. For a slightly more casual scene, go to Silver Lake and hit up Cha Cha Lounge or Red Lion Tavern.
This is California after all, so try and spend at least some of your time here soaking up the perpetually sunny skies. A hike up Runyon Canyon Park offers some incredible city views, and the odds of spotting a celebrity are pretty high. If it's the weekend, check out one of the city's many flea markets. Melrose Trading Post is one of our faves, but you could also try your luck at the Rose Bowl. At night, head to the Echo (or its sister venue, Echoplex) to catch one of the many quality up-and-coming bands coming through the area.

With tees that read "Good girls bend at the knees, Bad girls bend at the waist," the Married to the Mob Holiday 2010 collection is far from innocent.
The Married to the Mob Holiday 2010 line is banking on the fact that every good girl has a little bit of a rebel in them. Even if this happens to be the case, innuendo-fueled slogans like "Slippery when wet" and "Chew'em up and spit'em out" take a lot of confidence to wear.
