There are countless versions of this sausage throughout Germany. Here we opted to combine pork and veal, and used a delicate mixture of caraway, pepper, and marjoram. Try these sausages pan-fried or roasted and you'll see why making them fresh is worth the effort.
What to buy: There are several types of veal on the market, so be sure to ask your butcher for milk-fed veal from calves 12 weeks or younger. This creamy, white, fine-grained meat will lend the best flavor and texture to the sausages.
Special equipment: You'll need a grinder and a stuffer in order to make sausage. We've used various types in the past, but this recipe was tested using the special attachments for a KitchenAid stand mixer.
Game plan: If you choose to wear latex gloves, replace them with a fresh pair after grinding the meat and before stuffing the casing. Be sure to keep the meat and equipment ice cold during every stage of the process—it reduces the risk of food-borne illness and makes the stuffing process less cumbersome.
You may be tempted to cook up your sausages right away, but aging is important to developing the flavor, so don't skip this final step.
This recipe was featured as part of our Make Your Own Sausage project.
- 1Find the end of the casing, measure about 10 feet, and cut. If the casings were packed in salt, rinse thoroughly. Place in a bowl of tepid water and soak for 30 minutes. Discard soaking water, rinse the insides of the casing with running water, and soak in fresh tepid water at least another 30 minutes. Meanwhile, start making the filling.
For the filling:
- 1Place a baking sheet, a large mixing bowl, the grinder attachment, and the fine grinding plate (1/8 inch) in the freezer until very cold, at least 30 minutes.
- 2Meanwhile, trim the pork and veal shoulders of any excess fat, gristle, tendons, glands, silver skin, or blood vessels. Cut the pork, veal, and pork fat into 1-inch pieces and mix to evenly combine. Arrange in a single layer on the frozen baking sheet and place in the freezer until stiff but not frozen solid, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Place the spices in a small bowl and mix to evenly combine; set aside.
- 3When the meat is ready, attach the frozen grinder attachment to the mixer. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the meat. With the mixer on medium speed, grind the meat by the handful into the frozen mixing bowl. (The meat should easily pass through the auger and grinding plate. If it appears to stick to the front of the grinding plate, disassemble the grinder and clean out any tendons or fat that may be entangled in the blade.) Place the ground meat back in the freezer until stiff but not frozen solid, at least 30 minutes. Clean the grinder attachment and place it back in the freezer. (You will no longer need the grinding plate.)
- 4Meanwhile, check the meat mixture for proper seasoning by forming a small, thin patty. Pan-fry until the center is no longer raw. Taste it, keeping in mind that the flavor will develop as the sausage sits, or ages; add additional seasoning to the ground meat as desired.
To stuff the sausages:
- 1Attach the cleaned, chilled grinder attachment fitted with the large stuffer tube to the mixer. Place a baking sheet in front of the stuffer tube and moisten it with water (this will help the sausage coil more easily). Remove the filling from the freezer and, with the mixer on low, push enough filling into the feeding tube using the stuffer tool until the filling is just visible at end of the tube (this keeps air from being pushed into the end of the casing before the first sausage). Place the filling back in the freezer.
- 2Moisten the stuffer tube with water. Dip the end of the casing in water to create a small water bubble and begin feeding the casing onto the stuffer tube with one hand while holding the casing with the other hand to keep the water bubble level with the stuffer tube. Leaving a few inches of casing slack in between your hands, feed all but a few inches onto the stuffer tube. Let any water drain out of the casing, then tie the end in a knot.
- 3With the mixer on medium speed, begin to stuff the casing by feeding golf-ball-sized handfuls of filling down the tube using the stuffer tool, adding more filling as it packs the casing. (You may feel some suction in the stuffer tube—using small handfuls of filling and allowing the attachment to become coated with filling keeps this to a minimum.) Make sure the filling is firmly and evenly packed but not stretching the casing. Leave enough vacant room for sectioning off the sausages. Continue to stuff the casing until all the filling is gone.
- 4Push any remaining casing off the stuffer tube, leaving at least 1 to 2 inches of empty casing from where the sausage ends, and tie it off with a knot. Cut off any remaining casing with kitchen scissors and discard. (You should now have one long, coiled sausage.) Gently run your hand down the length of the casing to evenly distribute the meat.
- 5Pinch the sausage about every 5 inches to demarcate the links. Beginning at one end, twist the first and third links in the same direction about 3 times. Continue to twist in this manner until all the links have been sectioned off. Cut the sausage links with kitchen scissors at the twisted joints. If any air bubbles appear, prick them with a clean, sharp pin or knife tip.
- 6Refrigerate the sausages in a single layer covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. Let them age at least 2 to 3 hours before cooking and eating. Use fresh refrigerated sausages within 3 days, or freeze sausages individually wrapped in plastic for 2 to 3 months. The sausages can either be roasted at 450°F for 15 to 20 minutes or pan-fried over medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes.

There have been speculations about more manufacturers following Honda out of F1 but the teams talked about were Toyota and Renault. The sudden (?) decision of BMW to end its involvement in Formula One came as a surprise or a bit of a shock. So why have they decided to quit and why so suddenly ?
The sudden nature of BMW decision has likely been caused by the imminent signing of the new Concorde agreement. The agreement is to be finalized this week and according to news today only Toyota signature is now missing. Apparently decisions had to be made this week and BMW made theirs … The board of the mother company was obviously not ready to commit to F1 till 2012.
When BMW took over Sauber they had their plan. To score points regularly in their first season, add some podiums in their second (they scored 2 in their first), win races in their third (Kubica won Canadian GP last year). Season number 4 was to be the season of their title challenge. It did not turn out that way. Their new car, F1.09, is uncompetitive. The drivers fighting for podiums and wins last year struggle to make it to Q2. The cars fighting with Ferraris and McLaren at the front of the pack a season ago now battle with Toro Rossos and Force Indias at the back of the grid.
The true reasons behind BMW's quick exit may well be those they presented at their press conference. But same as in case of Honda many will believe that should the team be fighting at the top the company would not consider pulling out of the sport. Honda at least had the patience to watch the team struggle for few seasons. BMW seems to have given up after first half a season that did not go their way…

California has some of the most advanced and intricate licensing and permitting in the nation. Strong and detailed environmental regulations mean extra licensing for businesses such as mechanics and healthcare organizations. Cities often take care of some of the most local issues like valet parking, while counties manage health permitting, particularly food businesses. California itself oversees many industries, particularly professions and businesses that affect public safety.
In California, retail businesses of all sorts including beauty supply stores, toy stores, clothing shops, photography businesses and general merchandisers need licenses and permits. In most cases, retail businesses take relatively few licenses – however being registered for all state and local taxes is important as is having any needed general business licenses.

Jocks' Trainer at CFNM.net - Ep 7
The neverending series returns in a new format (so we can push the story along faster. Just a wee bit faster we promise. LOL)!!
For a long, tense moment the young athletes in their prime stand in a line wearing nothing other than thin pairs of jocks and wait for the next instructions. Ms Lindstrom's intense stare is making each of them incredibly self conscious. All of them desperately wish that someone would say something to break the heavy discomfort of this moment, but since they are now under this trainer's control no one feels like they can make a move without her say so.
The guys nervously stand their ground in the silent gigantic room. The only sound is the occasional cough or clearing of the throat from one of the guys.
Dave's fingers shake slightly at his sides, constantly fighting the urge to place them in front of his crotch, but knowing that this would be a sign of weakness.
The guys think that united together, this new female trainer shouldn't be any kind of threat to them, but they feel less and less certain of themselves with each agonizingly tense moment that passes.
The boys shift in place, cross their arms and try to outmatch Ms Lindstrom's penetrating stare. None of these competitive boys are the types to back down from a challenge and it's now obvious this beautiful foreign trainer is turning this into a battle of wills.
The guys are so wracked with nerves that they forgot Ms Lindstrom originally asked them to tidy their clothes away. "Oh yeah," Pete suddenly says.
"This is one hell of a workout," Pete continues in a smart ass tone of voice. "Carrying our fucking clothes from one side of the room to another. Hope coach is paying big for this training session."
Ms Lindstrom continues staring at him gravely serious, but Pete's antics are lightening the tone for the rest of the guys causing them all to snicker appreciatively.
Dave chases Pete trying to snap his jock. Suddenly it doesn't feel so bad standing out in the open in front of this strange women while wearing nothing but their jocks. It's as if they are just fooling around in the locker room like usual.
She remains completely calm watching them charge about the room as if she holds some secret over them.
Dave succeeds in snapping Mike's jock strap and receives a joking side kick in return. The guys laugh with their clothes bundled up in their arms.
They are certain that any minute now after they start exercising, the trainer will find it too embarrassing seeing their asses hanging out and tell them to get dressed again.
Ms Lindstrom shakes her head as if she's seen all this before and maintains an air of supreme authority.
"We're gonna get your ass Steve-o!" two guys shout charging after him.
The guys run after each other darting around the gym, smacking each others' asses and shouting insults.
"Let's see who can score first," Pete says rushing up to shoot his clothes into the goal.
"Maybe coach shouldn't buy any more uniforms from now on if this is the way drills are gonna go," Dave says sarcastically. "It'd save the school a helluvalotta money!"
"Yeah, after all, we're fuckin Greek Olympic athletes or whatever now right?" Pete says mocking Ms Lindstrom's passionate speech. The guys fall about laughing.
Ms Lindstrom watches unfazed while they get back in line.
The guys continue chuckling while they face the imposing Swede again.
She doesn't look that tough to them now. They can't imagine why they found her so intimidating. When it comes down to it, it's still six against one.
Steve smugly stares at her daring the foreign woman to challenge him.
She pauses for a few seconds till their laughter has died down and there is nothing but the droning silence of the huge gymnasium again.
"Remove that too," she says to Steve looking down at his tight speedo.
Steve quickly looks to the other guys for support but is only greeted by dumb stares.
"All of you! Take the rest off."
The sickening sensation twists their stomachs again as they nervously wonder what to do...

To a business owner, business collateral like business cards, letterhead, brochures and the like are the least of their worries.
For the most part, this kind of collateral only holds a sense of knowing neglect in the business owner's mind, but the fact is, it's this collateral which is on the front lines of the business. It is often the first touch for prospects to experience the company. Is the first experience with your company a pedestrian, templated business card or a sales packet that might as well be on the back of a bar napkin?
The careful development of professional-level business collateral is essential to elicit follow-ups and eventually making those critical early sales.
Here are a few tips to avoid marketing and business collateral that is forgotten as quickly as it is received:
Don't use templates
Everyone uses templates. Stand out from the crowd with something different. Consider changing the orientation of the card, rounding the edges, adding a glossy front and back, print the card in full gradient color, use your imagination.
Don't order enormous print runs
There is always a discount for quantity when you are ordering a large print run, but consider running a number of shorter print runs. Each of these shorter print runs could showcase the company's values in different lights, offer time-sensitive quarterly promotions, or just stay up-to-date with changing addresses, phone numbers, etc. The quantity discount from the printer is negligible when you consider the freedom of more, smaller runs.
Target your collateral
Often business owners will sell into a variety of markets and to a variety of customers. In order to make their message reach this wide audience they will often generalize. This becomes generic and loses all impact. Instead, treat your business collateral like any other marketing messaging medium. Target your message to the specific market or buyer. Consider having sets of business cards for trade shows, letterhead specifically for internal use, and separate sales brochures for distributors and the end buyers.

Joe Barry. The name is synonymous with legendary rock and roll. And bad behavior. Few knew the tortured man behind the music, who struggled with personal and professional demons, giving up on music several times to pursue careers as diverse as pimp, preacher and mercenary. He threw punches and received them, shot others and got shot, was bitten by the snake and then spread the Word of God. But he always returned to his roots - the bayou country of Southern Louisiana, where he built his first guitar out of a discarded cigar box.
This documentary weaves the stories of his songs into the colorful tapestry of a remarkable life. It transports you back in time to a place that is gone forever - the richly-colorful 1950's and 60s music scene of South Louisiana and Southeast Texas. A time when American rock and roll was forming and rules were begging to be broken.
Years of reckless living took it's toll on Joe's body. But these years held stories which he ached to tell one last time. In 2002, Tuff City Records moved a studio into his living room. Joe's failing health forced him to limit his singing to one minute intervals - the album took two long years to complete. But Barry vowed to finish it, even if it was the last thing he did.
Rolling Stone Magazine says of the album: "On this wonderful return, Barry is in old school form... singing with tender, fighting soul."

This hack originally appeared in 2006. That's SEVEN years ago! So cool. Anyway, seems like the perfect day to make a reappearance. Thank you, Jill…I know you're still reading and sending in hacks! — Asha
Lots of people posted their hidden vegie tricks in the comments on Green mac-n-cheese, but I thought Jill's was worth highlighting on St. Paddy's Day.
As St. Patrick's Day approaches, so does the opportunity to make green food. Creamed spinach in an egg casserole makes for awesome Green Eggs and Ham, and is a good starting place for future sneaky vegetables. Don't overlook carrot juice or a carrot-apple blend in the sippy cup either! [You could spike their juice with spirulina — or give them Odwalla Super Food — to keep the green theme going. — Ed.]
Here's Jill's recipe:
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 to 1 cup chopped ham
5 eggs
1 cup finely chopped, frozen spinach (thawed, moisture squeezed out)
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp prepared mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup grated swiss cheese
Spray an 8" casserole dish with nonstick spray. Sprinkle in the dishwith breadcrumbs and ham. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with spinach, milk, mustard, salt & pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the casserole dish (over the breadcrumbs and ham). Top with cheese. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until set.

When my son was in preschool, the annual March 17 snack was green mashed potatoes, and several potato-hating kids gobbled them up. Easy to do: just add a few drops of food coloring or some finely chopped steamed brocolli.
Another option: a green smoothie!

Kathleen Wayland (Kat!) has enjoyed the magic of music all her life. Her parents began sharing music with her before she could walk, giving her the best start in life. Having developed a lifelong love of music, Kathleen played the piano, played percussion in band, and sang in choirs all the way through college where she received her Bachelor of Music from the University of Texas in Austin. Kathleen has taught band, choir, orchestra, and elementary music for 15 years in public school and at her church.
After the arrival of her son, Kathleen searched for a program to help her share her love of music with her baby. Kindermusik surprised Kathleen by not only providing excellent musical experiences, but also special bonding time and high quality home materials and education about her son's development in all areas. Recognizing the potential of the Kindermusik program, Kathleen became licensed to share this wonderful experience with other families and opened Kindermusik with Kat! in the Fall of 2003.

Carls Jr. Tests Ice Cream Burger
Would you like a burger with that burger? That could become a legitimate question if Carl's Jr. decides to release its newest concoction a dessert burger made of ice cream nationwide.
More From Delish: 12 Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
According to the Huffington Post, Carl's Jr. is currently testing an ice cream burger, or "brrger," as it has dubbed the possible dessert menu addition. The new treat may resemble a savory item, but the "brrger" is actually a sugary dessert. The "buns" are made of sugar cookies with sugar granules standing in for sesame seeds. Chocolate ice cream represents the beef patty, and squirts of yellow, red, and green icing make the ice cream sandwich seem as though it's topped with ketchup, mustard, and lettuce.
Carl's Jr. is testing the post-burger "brrger" at several locations in Orange County, California. While there is no word yet on how the public is reacting to the addition of a burger lookalike to the dessert menu, if the "brrger" does well in California, it will be rolled out on a national level. The "brrger" is currently selling for $1.99 a piece, cheaper than the chain's actual burgers.

The Collected Toupydoops
- Posted by Johanna on April 16, 2007 at 10:58 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Kevin McShane
- PUBLISHER: Lobrau Productions; $14.95 US
Toupydoops has grown on me. I think the book's gotten better and funnier as the artist becomes more comfortable with his characters and his skills; he'd probably say that I finally loosened up and got it. Either way, the first collection is now being solicited, so here's your chance to place your order for this distinctive vision.
It's a story you've seen before, the aspiring young performer who moves to Hollywood to make it big… only Toupy is blue, with antennae, and the companies that run the big town make comics instead of movies. McShane describes it as "Swingers meets Roger Rabbit". The Swingers part is mostly Toupy's roommate — think Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men, only looking like some kind of dog-like creature but still getting all the babes.
The movie/comic comparison is familiar these days, and one reason I needed a little time to warm up to the premise was that it seemed a bit labored in the beginning. It's not so much "what movies and comics have (or could have) in common" as "what if comics was exactly like the movie business". Once the comparisons became part of the background, it didn't matter what, exactly, Toupy was trying to get his big break in, only that we began to root for him to make it. His charm came through over time.
(I also really appreciated no longer seeing the cigar-smoking, diaper-wearing monkey as much, which seemed much too forced a point of frat-boy hilarity. Monkey guest stars remind me of Mr. Smith, never a good thing.)
I know, it sounds like I see more problems here than praise. But that's the wrong impression for you to take away. It's a funny book, all the more so when it's based on character instead of situation. The art is very nicely done, too, clean-lined and clearly designed. The characters are both written and drawn as regular guys, so they're either someone you know or, well, you.
In the stories here, Toupy has his first Hollywood audition, goes bar-hopping, gets a job as an editorial assistant, tries teaching kindergarten, and deals with competition.
A 37-page preview is available so you can check it out for yourself. The book is due in June 2007 and can be ordered through a comic book shop (Diamond code APR07 3850) or any bookstore (ISBN: 978-0-9792908-0-0). The collection contains the first five issues along with two short stories about the premise.
(An online preview copy for this review was provided by the publisher.)

Baggett gets six years for sexual assault charges
By Caitlin Davis
Oct 22, 2012, 12:10
Former Hopewell police officer Mark D. Baggett, 34, was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Wednesday. He was convicted on three counts of aggravated sexual battery. Judge Sam Campbell suspended 24 of the 30 years of prison time.
Baggett's Defense Attorney, Peter Eliades, of Eliades and Eliades, said the sentence is fair, considering the wide range of possible sentences Baggett faced.
State sentencing guidelines for the case meant the court could have required Baggett to serve an active sentence of 16 years and three months. The minimum sentencing requirement is three years and eight months.
"Vis-a-vis the guidelines, he did pretty well," Eliades said.
Baggett, 34, of Colonial Heights, was arrested on a warrant felony charge of forcible sodomy on Jan. 12. The charges stemmed from a criminal complaint a 38-year-old female filed with the Hopewell Police Department in October 2011.
Because Baggett was an employee of the local police department at the time the complaint was filed, responsibility for the criminal investigation was turned over to the Virginia State Police.
As the investigation continued, two more counts of aggravated sexual battery were brought before the courts.
Baggett entered into an Alford Plea in June, meaning he did not admit to committing the acts he was accused of, but did admit that the prosecution could likely prove the charges.
Eliades said that Baggett maintained his innocence throughout the court proceedings.
Chesterfield County Deputy Commonwealth's Attorney, M. Duncan Minton, Jr., who was appointed as the special prosecutor in this case, said Baggett essentially played the blame game during the trial.
"He blames everyone else," Minton said. "He blames the victims...the fact that he doesn't accept responsibility causes concern, that he doesn't acknowledge there is a problem."
Minton said that the claims Baggett made in court against the victims were absurd, and out of line with the facts. He said Baggett claimed one of the victims held a box cutter to his chest and forcibly performed oral sex on him.
"You can't tell me that a four year police officer cannot get away from someone holding a box cutter to their chest," Minton said.
Eliades said he brought up Baggett's difficult childhood and tough upbringing during the trial.
Eliades said Baggett was bounced between different homes as the child of a 14-year-old mother. Baggett dropped out of high school when he was 14, earning an EMS certification two years later. Eliades said Baggett worked as a fire fighter and medic in Iraq and for the Charles City County Sheriff's Office and held a number of other EMS jobs.
"He was not looking for authority," Eliades said. "He had all that and overcame his lack of self-esteem...he's clawed his way up through life."
Eliades said he felt that Judge Campbell was moved by the fact that at a young age, Baggett was dealt a bad hand of cards.
Minton said perhaps one of the biggest crimes Baggett committed was violating the trust of the community.
"He violated the trust," Minton said. "...[Police officers] are held to a higher standard, a higher level of trust than the rest."
Hopewell Police Chief John Keohane agreed with Minton, saying that Baggett violated the trust that goes along with the badge and the uniform.
"He violated the public trust," Keohane said. "When you disgrace the badge so many of us wear we [at the police department] have zero tolerance for this. He deserved punishment."
Keohane also said credit needs to be given to the three victims that came forward in the case.
"It was an act of bravery for them to come forward," Keohane said. "We applaud them."
Keohane said when the first victim came forward, he and other members of the department began to look back at all of Baggett's arrests. Keohane said they found two other cases that aroused suspicion.
At that point, Keohane turned the evidence over to the Virginia State Police for further investigation.
Eliades said that at the end of the trial, when Baggett made his final statement to Judge Campbell, Baggett hung his head and broke into tears.
"I feel better knowing we did everything we could for him," Eliades said. "He still maintains his innocence."
As part of his sentencing agreement, Baggett must complete sex offender treatment and register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. If Baggett commits another crime, regardless of its nature, he could face 24 years in jail.

The man I would like to write about has mesmerized me a few years ago and still makes me follow his progress. It is possible that you've already come across the work of this so called Da Vinci of these days on the Internet. His artworks have been multiplying in there, as they are really unique. A few years ago I didn't have this possibility but now I'm pleased to introduce Theo Jansen.
I don't like writing biographies, so I'll just put it briefly: Theo used to study physics but then he discovered himself in drawing and left the university. I won't be talking about his early artworks either. I was suddenly captivated by his unique way to see the world around us and to perceive motion as a phenomenon. What I admire most is that when it seems that a certain problem doesn't have any other resolution, someone appears and makes you conceive it in a completely different way. Theo is exactly that type of person who created an alternative for such an old and common artifact as a wheel and simply asked "Why not?"
Another marvelous thing is that the meaning of his kinetic creatures is more aesthetic and philosophical than scientific or financial (actually, I cannot be certain, therefore, I leave it to decide for those who're more concerned about this). For centuries land transport was confined to circular frame. But if we move on our own feet why human came up with an idea to move things with a help of wheel? It's understandable as a circle is a primitive figure and it might be made without much effort there's no wonder that prehistoric human gladly accepted it. On the other hand, this proves that before mentioned prehistoric human indeed had a different perception and a flexible mind since everyone else around probably imagined that the transport of the future will be based on walking and on everything what they see in motion around.
This art is both social and philosophical that's why it's so charming. When I see Theo's creatures gracefully passing windy sands I start believing that this artist and the man upstairs are somehow connected in a particular way. Even though, one of them changed the world more than another, nowadays we seek to leap from our daily wheels to air gliding. While an ordinary man believes that everything is already invented, that all chords are discovered and that all technologies are projected hundreds of years ahead, Theo simply turns away from the so called progress and closes up in his own world.
I will create my own laboratory for sand creatures on the top of this mountain" that's what Theo said when he started his project in Ypenburg.
Kinetic sculptor – that's how he names himself. Theo also claims that his artworks are living creatures. This might be true, since we are all pushed by natural forces and his "Sabulosa" (a sand fly) or "Animaris Rhinoceros" (a rhinoceros) that instantly become in motion with the help of the wind. These wights might even be conscious as they already distinguish land from the sea. And where's land, there they can slowly move while wind nurtures them. Could this be a generation of artificial intelligence? But again, these questions are philosophical. Each scientist could easily come up with a contradiction.
I could meditate and meditate on this matter. Even though others may find it worthless but that magical never ending leg motion, as well as the wheel, hypnotizes and like a fresh whiff of air gives a very pleasant feeling. For this reason, I find Theo Jansen's invention truly meaningful.

I got this as a birthday present for my fiance, he loves right hand rings. It arrived super quick, the quality is amazing and he LOVES it! He wears it everyday!
As the typical story goes, my husband lost his original wedding band in the river, so I was on the hunt for a replacement. Was very happy & impressed with overall selection on website, and went to local jewelry stores to "see" the rings before deciding which to purchase. Product is almost identical to the picture - just darker in person. Would HIGHLY recommend getting finger sized at a local jewler before ordering ring - it is just too much of a guessing game, and the sizing did differ for him depending on the type of metal. Very happy with pricing as well; same ring was $300+ at local jewelry stores.
I am very happy with the product I received. Shipping was fast too! I would definitely order from "The O" again!!
Bought this ring for my husband for Christmas! He and I both love it.
We will be sending it back for a refund because it doesn't look like it does in the picture. Looks much nicer in the picture. I recommend it though if you are looking for a very rugged ring. Just not the type we are looking for as a wedding ring. But, very solid ring...def doesn't look like it would break or bend in any way! That is the reason I gave it 5 stars.
My wedding ring accidentally got chipped so I was in the market for a new tungsten carbide ring. This ring caught my attention since the grooves were set apart a little wider and my gamble paid off. It's a very sharp-looking ring, well-designed and it catches your attention right away with its clean cuts and powerful look. I like my rings a little bigger so this turned to be exactly what I wanted when we first got married but unfortunately didn't come across until now. Great price too compared to other websites.

Hasisi Park's photos are at times crude yet tragically endearing. She's worked with clients like Converse, various fashion lines for Seoul Fashion Week, and has also been featured in a couple fashion/art magazines. I love Hasisi's info page, as the items listed there have almost nothing to do with usual bullets info pages and CVs, but instead reveals happenings that perhaps impacted her creative work. Though it's difficult to truly understand someone through looking at a webpage, I feel like I've become to feel her work a little bit more.

Jo Seub
Sort of in the same vein as cultural greats like Cindy Sherman, Korean artist Jo Seub explores self portraiture. But he often gives the effect that Ren & Stimpy had on me as a child who had yet to find humor in the grotesqueness of human (animated mangy animals) condition. An article by art critic Moon Young-Min on the artist's website explains the "reason for his aesthetics of the frivolous, for his use of comedy as an art form; today's younger generation understands comedy. Jo demonstrates clearly that one can communicate seriously while at the same time being funny…Jo Seub is not only skeptical about the ideology and religion that he is satirizing but he is also rebelling against the excessive weight and seriousness of the doctrinarian teaching and its rigid methodology. In fact, anti-Communism under the military dictatorship in South Korea, which took place in the context of South-North confrontation, is not much different from the anti-imperialism inculcated in North Korea."

Laminate flooring one of last steps in community building project
Laminate flooring one of last steps in community building project
Since a flood made their house unlivable in 2007, Raelene McElvain and her three daughters have lived in the top floor of a 42-year-old mobile home,comma but they will not have to for much longer. The Chronicle reports that the finishing touches are being put on an extensive renovation to McElvain's original abode.
According to the news source, rebuilding the house was a community effort, as more than 140 sponsors chipped in on the project, and more than 200 volunteers have contributed to the building process.
"The project would not be possible without the sponsors, donors and volunteers that have taken out of their personal time to do this," Andrea Roe, one of the organizers of the project, told the news outlet.
There are only several more steps to take in the process, according to the news provider. Among the pieces that need to be installed are granite counters, plumbing fixtures and laminate flooring.
Homeowners who are looking to install a new floor in their home may want to consider laying laminate flooring. TLC.com reports that laminate can mimic the appearance of other materials, and also provides individuals with a durable, long-lasting option.

I do a lot of video editing and I am wondering if there is a program exactly like Sony Vegas Pro but free. I can't afford the Sony Vegas prices but is there something exactly like it, for Windows for FREE? Also is Linux better to edit videos on? If it is what free video editing program do you recommend on Linux/Ubuntu? For Windows I want something FREE that is exactly like Sony Vegas so I can upload the videos to YouTube and also on Linux/Ubuntu I want to know if video editing is better on the Linux/Ubuntu OS instead of Windows and I want a program on at Linux/Ubuntu OS that can upload my videos to YouTube asked Sep 24 '11 at 18:42 Studio66Designs |
I'd start here: http://alternativeto.net/searchresult.aspx?search=sony%20vegas answered Sep 24 '11 at 18:51 FizzNakLe |
This is an answer to the Linux part of your question. I cannot answer what is free that is exactly like Sony Vegas, although I doubt that such a program exists. If you are only looking for the best prices for video editing applications, then Linux is definitely for you (they are all free). If stability in your video editing application is more important, then in all honesty (and I am a huge Linux and FOSS supporter) don't switch to Linux if all you want is a cheaper video editor. Video editing has been the bane of many a Linux user for a long time, and while it is getting better all the time, it is nowhere near professional quality at this point. That being said, there is a few applications that you could look at on the Linux side: Pitivi or Openshot Cinelerra or Kdenlive Blender answered Sep 24 '11 at 20:19 AlanStryder I didn't know you could edit videos in blender :O thx for the tip
(Sep 25 '11 at 09:51)
On the linux side I use Openshot and KDenLive. I love them both. answered Sep 25 '11 at 16:37 PCLinux7 |
Also on the Linux side of things I wanted to add this as well. I remember looking on distrowatch.com. Which is like the top 100 of the 350+ distros available for Linux. One comes to mind which was for audio and video editing specifically in Linux is called Ubuntu Studio. Take a look and see if that is a viable option for you. I think Mac, Windows, and Linux have all strength and weakness in them Some prefer one over the other. answered Sep 25 '11 at 19:20 Compucore |
If you want Linux, go Kdenlive. I cannot comment on editing under Windows as I have never done it. But I have never had a single problem with Kdenlive and I love it. answered Sep 25 '11 at 19:52 Drmgiver |

Jones: I went 80% versus Gustafsson
"I went 80-percent," Jones said about the Gustafsson fight. "I'm not making any excuses, Gustafsson did a great job in the fight, but I know I had a lot more in me. I did some of the cardio tests that I normally do and my numbers weren't the same.
"Me knowing that, I still went into the fight thinking well since I can't perform excellent, maybe I'll still perform really, really high and still really, really good and maybe the fight will be a little bit closer if I just put half the effort in. I learned the lesson the hard way that you have to give full effort."
is anyone suprised there is still moronic stuff falling out of the front of jones' face? what a waste.
he didnt say he went 80% in the fight, he was saying he went 80% in preparation and didnt take Goose seriously. Correct me if im wrong but didnt 90% of us on here not take Goose seriously? is it hard to believe Jones did the same, and is just saying he learned his lesson?
He makes an excuse and then the very next sentence says he is not making excuses HAHAHHA. Classic Jones.

(1-4 players): Players grab the Wii Remote like a racket and swing – the game registers forehands, backhands, volleys, lobs, slices, spin and power depending on how fast the user swings and at what angle. Don't worry about moving around the court to get to the ball – the game automatically moves players into position.
1. Swing the Wii Remote up and then down to serve the ball.
2. You can also press the A Button to toss the ball up, and then swing the Wii Remote forward to hit.
1. Forehand – Swing the Wii Remote in a forward direction to take a forehand swing.
2. Backhand – Swing the Wii Remote out with your wrist facing you.
(1-2 players): Grip the Wii Remote like a bat and swat fastballs out of the park, or fire a fastball over the plate with a flick of your wrist. Timing and bat speed will make all the difference between a foul and a homer, so keep your eye on the ball and swing for the fences. In the two-player game, one player pitches and the other bats—all fielding and running is automatic, so that you can focus on the action.
1. Hold the Wii Remote with both hands just like you would a baseball bat. Hold it with the buttons of the Wii Remote facing you, then swing as the ball crosses the plate.
1. Hold the Wii Remote in your pitching hand, then swing down gently without letting go of the Wii Remote. Ball speed depends on how fast you swing.
(1-4 players): Raise the Wii Remote in your hand just like a bowling ball, and then swing your arms to roll the ball. The speed of the swing and the angle at which you release the ball affects the spin, so practice to master ball control—and go for that strike!
1. Holding the Wii Remote in your throwing hand, use left or right on the control pad to determine where your Mii character will stand.
1. Hold down the B Button on your Wii Remote and raise it to your chest. Slowly swing the Wii Remote as if you're rolling a bowling ball and release the B Button to let go.
(1-4 players): Step up to the tee, hold the Wii Remote like a golf club and swing naturally to smack the ball onto the green. The harder you swing the club, the farther the ball will fly. Be sure to take some practice swings before going for the pin. After reaching the green, line up putts carefully, practice the stroke and go for Par—or better!
1. Hold the Wii Remote with both hands and point it down while holding the A Button. Then gently swing at the appropriate strength.
1. Hold the Wii Remote with both hands and point it down while holding the A Button. Swing more softly than you would a regular swing.
(1-2 players): Using the Nunchuk™ controller as one glove and the Wii Remote as the other, dodge, weave and punch your opponent. Hold your hands high to guard your face or low to block your torso. Punch high to hit your opponent's face or low to get under their guard for a body blow. Swing both arms left or right to sidestep oncoming blows and move into position for a devastating knockout.
1. Hold the Wii Remote in one hand and the Nunchuk in the other, then thrust out with each to punch with those hands. Aim at the head to punch upward, or aim at the body to punch downward.
1. Hold the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in front of you to block punches. Shift your body left, right, back or forward to move your Mii character in that direction.

New tourism figures issued this morning confirm that Britain is well placed to build on encouraging inbound Olympic numbers.
September's International Passenger Survey (IPS) figures issued today by ONS(1) reveal that visitor numbers were up by 1% (2.63m) and that visitor spending reached a record £1.9BN (an increase of 17%).
Overseas visitor spend in the UK is now 5% higher than in the first nine months of 2011.
Olympic visitors
It is estimated that 680,000 visits from overseas to the UK in July, August and September were primarily due to the London 2012 Games.
For July to September the average spend by people attending or involved in the Games was £1,350, more than double all other visitors and another record for average spend.
Sandie Dawe, VisitBritain's Chief Executive, said: "These figures offer us an ideal platform to create a golden tourism legacy going into 2013 and beyond.
"These encouraging numbers mean that visitors are on track to spend more in the UK than we initially forecast – a good result for the economy.
"It's quite clear that Olympic visitors generally spent a lot more, often visiting for longer, as well as buying tickets for various events and staying in hotels.
"We've worked hard and fast to make sure we capitalise on the Olympic interest and positive buzz across the world. As soon as the Games came to an end we launched the next stage of our GREAT Britain campaign a £15 million phase inviting the world to 'make their own memories'.
"Tourism is an industry that has proven time and time again it can boost the UK economy and with our GREAT activity, can provide long term sustained growth post Olympics."
Last month VisitBritain launch a consultation to grow inbound tourism to Britain, with an ambition to reach 40 million visitors by 2020, a 3% year on year increase.
