Watch Thanksgiving Live! This Sunday
by Sarah De Heer in Shows, November 16th, 2012The weekend is finally here: Food Network's annual Thanksgiving Live! is going live in just one short day. Just in time for the big feast, on Sunday at 12 pm/ET, Rachael, Giada, Bobby, Aarón, Alex, Sunny, Ree and your host, turkey master Alton Brown, will be on hand to answer your Thanksgiving questions live on-air. What do you want to know? Ask your question here.
The best Thanksgiving appetizer: Watch the Thanksgiving Live pre-show on FoodNetwork.com at 11:30 am/ET Sunday. We'll have exclusive interviews with Food Network chefs as they head into the kitchen to answer your questions.
Stick with us during the live show and then go to FoodNetwork.com during commercials. Jeff Mauro will be featuring viewers' tweets (don't forget to use hashtag #ThanksgivingLive), taking more questions and — knowing Jeff — I'm sure the ultimate Thanksgiving leftover sandwich is coming your way too.

I like quiche with leftover turkey
Me too! Good call.
Can you bake turkey with just water?
How do you make the turkey top red?
Someone told me to put plain yougert with turkey. Is that a good idea?
yes – overall a disappointing show.
alton – all over the place; wouldn't let anyone explain anything in detail; not a good host
sunny – the host snubbed her;he could care less what she had to say – but i see why with a recipe like "fried icecream balls"…i mean please, that was pathetic – this is thanksgiving, not a carnival – and she said they take one minute in the deep fryer. she dropped one in and saw they were doing nothing and closed the lid. i bet the oil wasn't even turned on !!!
ree – she is a fish out of water. she has some good ideas but doesn't fit in well. a little boring ree.
gianda – the worst – i agree with the previous blogger – she only wanted to get on camera and was always hugging the host. she is so superficial and has nothing of any importance to add. and her recipe – green beans and almonds….OMG….what a joke she is. please…spare us from giada !!!
rachel, alex, bobby – they were the most helpful and had the best ideas; thank goodness for them, because this show was too spastic.-
Poor Ree. The reason she didn't belong is because she was the only one on her very best behavior. She held herself with class and dignity. Giada was the total opposite. Ree is awesome. I love watching the 'Pioneer Woman'. I kept watching Giada with Alton and thinking: 'Are their spouses watching?' I wonder when Giada got home and her husband pointing to the t.v , saying, "What the—"
Ree isn't boring. She's just not super loud like most of the others. I'm glad she didn't lose herself in the chaos.
I love leftovers. I make my ultimate sandwich. I use thick slices of quality bread. Instead of mayo, I slather cranberry sauce on the slices, then slices of turkey breast, a small mound of dressing, a dollop of sweet potato casserole and a little drizzle of giblet gravy. Yeah, it's messy but I love it. It's a a jumbled mess on the plate on Thanksgiving anyway. I just decided to put it in between bread. I wash that down with our family's secret Cranberry Tea recipe. Yummy!!
I enjoyed the show and got some good tips from several of the chefs. Alton was a good host but the whole thing was a little on the manic side. Presumably this is the first time they have attempted a two hour Thanksgiving show live? Is there something going on with Giada and Alton? She appeared to spend most of her time draped around his shoulders. If they do another one next year I will watch but a little less manic next time please :)
Please tell Alton that he should A) calm WAY down and give the chefs time to answer, and B) stop antagonizing Giada. I recorded the show, but will delete it because it was too stressful to watch. Just the opposite of what I was hoping it would be. I agree that Sunny got snubbed and Ree, although sweet, seems out of place. Bobby was his usual humble and informative wonderful self. I love Food Network, but this wasn't their best special.
Ree is a breathe of fresh air , the show became more about displays of ego and personalities quirks most of us did not know, go to Ree's blog for more reality .
OMG this show was so annyoing to watch!!! Giada made a fool of herself…she was drunk!! and being a big time kiss ass, needs to get over herself. Alton was all over the place and clearly had his favorites..Rachel, Arron who also appeared drunk and Bobby. Sunny nor Alex really exsisted to this Ahole.

Dynamo Shows How He Does The Phone In A Bottle Trick!
The world's most talked-about magician is returning for a second series with more mind-bending magic and amazing stunts.
And we've got two clips taken from the first episode of the new series that have to be seen to be believed (and by 'believed', we mean as much as you can believe something which looks genuinely unbelievable).
In the first, Dynamo explains how he puts a phone in a glass bottle - by doing the exact same trick with an mental added 'phone shrink' illusion.
The other clip shows the Bradford-born magician breathe new life into an autumnal leaf before putting it back on the tree.
Why can't we learn to do something like this? It'd be much more impressive in the pub than our alcopop strawpedo in 2.2 seconds (not that we're counting that time seriously...)!
The new series of Dynamo: Magician Impossible starts on Watch on 5 July at 9pm!

Your article on Samba in the August 2000 issue of Linux Journal motivated me to get my Samba tuned up and running right.
I also use NT 4.0 so there were some differences, and I ended up using a web article: www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/samba, by Daniel Robbins.
I realize you were describing your experiences with Red Hat 5.2. Your article did not describe what version of Samba you were discussing. I upgraded to 2.0.7 (RH wtmp).
One of the areas with which I had trouble was that Samba seems to take the first, or perhaps a random stab, at the interface on which it will run. The first try used my external DSL interface—not what I wanted. I found, in the Robbins article discussed above, that you could specify a global of interface = eth1 and that solved problem. Your article did not hint at the possible problem.
Robbins also recommended the use of "guest" rather than "nobody", and that too solved a problem of the explorer not being able to see shares, even though net use/view could. PS: not many of the references discuss Internet use as did your article.
Thanks for getting me motivated.

I enjoyed Michael Hammel's Forum series, "The Artists' Guide to the Linux Desktop". Having explored window managers in much the same way as Hammel, I was pleased to discover that someone else on planet Earth had reached similar conclusions about their various merits and defaults.
I would, though, like to point out an inaccuracy in Hammel's discussion of FVWM2. I imagine he'll thank me for it. FVWM2 does not, as he states, require the user to restart the window manager whenever a menu is changed. FVWM's "Read" command will reread and install the altered version of a menu file without requiring a window manager restart. The "Read" command, like all FVWM commands, can be bound to a menu, pop-up, key press, or mouse click. It can also be embedded in a function. The only thing to beware of is that the menu file should begin by destroying itself and any submenus ("DestroyMenu <name>"). Otherwise, the "Read" command will concatenate the new version with the old.

This is a reply to the letter from Tirath in the August issue. I think he is off base to complain about advertising in LJ. The rise of advertising has not harmed the editorial content as far as I can tell. In fact, it seems to me there is more editorial content than ever.
Far from being "junk", as he call them, the ads let us know what companies, products and services are available to get things done in a Linux environment. In addition to the high information value of these ads, they also highlight the growing support for the Linux community and for LJ in particular. These companies are helping LJ to grow by the money they spend on advertising. Furthermore, by releasing products and services, they are helping Linux to grow. In my opinion, LJ is a perfect venue to make known such products and services. We ought to do business with these companies whenever possible.
—Bryan S. Tyson firstname.lastname@example.com
As an international subscriber to LJ, I was shocked to see the international subscription price in the August issue. It appears to have risen from $37 to $62 per year. I understand that distribution costs are involved, however this seems a large increase, considering the cover price remains the same. I would appreciate your comments.
—Brian Galbraith email@example.com
Ever increasing postage rates and increased paper and production costs have forced us to raise our international subscription prices in order to keep offering them. Over the past few years, Linux Journal has lost a substantial amount of money on these subscriptions and, therefore, had to make a decision to increase rates to bring us close to a break-even point. We sincerely wish we did not have to pass this cost along to our international subscribers, but it was the only way we could continue to offer these subscriptions.
I have some disagreements with Jon Valesh's review of WordPerfect Office 2000. Nearly the first page and a half was devoted to the politics of office suite development for Linux. I'm not a big Microsoft fan either, but I buy software based on whether it effectively solves an existing need. I'm frustrated by having to reboot to Windows to deal with spreadsheets and documents that I have to use for my job...the question is whether Corel can help me solve this problem.
Mr. Valesh had very few installation problems. My experience was the opposite. Installation under SuSE 6.3 was a nightmare. I'll omit the details in the interest of time, but even after installation, the software regularly crashed or froze. I noticed that Corel's latest ad in your magazine mentions compatibility with "major" Linux distributions, but no longer specifically mentions SuSE. (On the software packaging, SuSE is mentioned as a compatible distribution.) This actually reminds me of my past experiences with Microsoft—get the product out now, whether it works or not, and then fix it later. And no, I certainly don't expect reviewers to try software on each Linux distribution, but it might not be a bad idea for the software developers.
I've switched to Linux-Mandrake 7.1, and I tried WP Office 2000 again with better results. However, there are still some major annoyances. For example, when I hit "File/Open", the dialog box opens behind the document window. Mr. Valesh calls these problems "idiosyncrasies". I call them annoying bugs. I wish the review had focused more on how the software works, and less on installation and philosophy. Then, people could make an informed decision on whether to purchase the product.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping that Corel offers some kind of an upgrade deal to registered users when they finally get the "idiosyncrasies" fixed. —Jim Mueller firstname.lastname@example.com
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

About the Manufacturer
Swing N Slide went into business in 1980 when the idea of a do-it-yourself swing set was unheard of. Taking advantage of this market, they began selling swing set kits at a value cost that offered a flexibility that pre-cut or boxed swing sets did not. Not only does Swing-N-Slide offer a wide selection of do it yourself swing sets at a great value, they meet or exceed strict American Society of Testing Materials Safety Standards. br/br Swing N Slide has a culture of innovation, introducing the EZ frame bracket system, designing the first plastic slide, the first climbing rock wall, and much much more! Their ingenious idea to market three levels of swing sets geared primarily towards do it yourself customers spawned the 'Ready To Build Custom,' 'Ready to Assemble No-Cut,' and 'Ready To Build Wood Complete' kits. Most of the kits available are in the 'Ready to Build Custom Group'. br/br Each level is sold with a level of building skill that the customer will need to assemble. For the complete do it yourself customer they offer the 'Ready To Build Custom' which comes with a kit that includes assembly instructions and hardware. For the beginner do it yourself parent they offer the 'Ready To Assemble No-Cut' which comes with all hardware, assembly instructions and pre-cut lumber, and finally for the laid-back customer they offer the 'Ready To Assemble Wood Complete,' which is a swing set fully loaded with accessories, pre-cut lumber, and hardware.

turbo slide Elizabeth from Laredo, TX– Verified Buyer The turbo slide that we purchased has been great for my 7 year old and 2 year old grandson. What i liked was the tunnel shape slide because i don't have to worry about then fillowing off to the sides since its 7 feet high. My husband did not have any trouble assembling it. He assembled it in no time. |
Go big or go home April from Rio rancho, NM– Verified Buyer Debated on whether or not to do large slide or smaller one Went bigger so my kids can use longer.. But a 7 ft deck is a little high and scary for my 4 yr old... But she loves it! So I guess I'm just an over worried mother... Only reason give it a 4 is because it bent a little where their butts sit before going down. Looks like it won't break.. Just a little flaw I guess.. Other then that, awesome product... But why in the work are plastic slides so expensive.. |
Good backyard slide Jason Walker from Bellingham, WA– Verified Buyer We have a playhouse built on old telephone poles, so it was hard to find a slide tall enough for it. This 7 footer worked perfect. It was pretty tough to put together, the plastic didn't always line up for the holes. I would say it takes at least 3 people to do the finishing project, but definitely 2 to put all the pieces together. Invest in a good socket set too. |
great sliding board Marlene from Monroeville, NJ– Verified Buyer I ordered this to add to a tree house that my husband built. It arrived quickly, in great shape and is a great addition to the tree house. The grandchildren love it! |
Great purchase! Eric from Delong, IL– Verified Buyer Slide was a little difficult to assemble but we got it done with two people. Its up now and the kids love it! its very sturdy and doing well after over a year! |
Works fine Enrique from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer It works . No issues with the equipment. There lots of nuts and bolts to put it together. The love it and that is all that matters. |
kids slide Terry from Lamesa, TX– Verified Buyer added to the deck & the kids (& adults) love it. Takes 2 people to assemble & some clamps but we got it |
slide Jason from SPANAWAY, WA– Verified Buyer Cheapest price out there for same slide easy to assemble and shipping was very fast and free thanks for your online services |
Large Tube Slide Kelly from Middlefield, Ohio– Verified Buyer Great item!! Super fast shipping!! Our children love this slide! |
Good slide. Poor instructions. Hairy Scary Gary from Custer, WA– Verified Buyer It is a good slide and I'm happy with it. However, I have some gripes about the instructions. First, they are dated 1993 - no joke. Second, they must assume you're putting it on a kit of theirs, because they don't tell you what size frame/opening to build if you're putting it on your own creation (other than the height). Making a guess based on the piece that mounts to the structure isn't as easy as you might think. Also, each piece is stamped with a letter but "piece C" doesn't necessarily belong in "section C". Another minor irritation with the instructions is that the photo next to the section you're reading is for three steps ago - the photo you want now is halfway down the next page. In my opinion, they need to scrap these instructions and develop a better set. |
Turbo Tube Slide is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: NE 4405, NE 4405-T

Vitter is pandering to the conspiracy theorists among Republican party faithful.
Too bad Vitter wasn't asked about the real issue, which is of course hookers. Nobody doubts his firm support for hookers.

Republican Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana says he supports conservative organizations challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship in court.
Vitter, who is running for re-election, made the comments at a town hall-style event in Metairie, La., on Sunday when a constituent asked what he would do about what the questioner said was Obama's "refusal to produce a valid birth certificate."
Such claims about Obama's birth certificate have been discredited. But with the crowd applauding the question, Vitter responded that although he doesn't personally have legal standing to bring litigation, he supports "conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court," according to a video of the event.
"I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it," Vitter said, although he later cautioned that the matter could distract from policy issues.
"I think if we focus on that issue and let our eye off the ball … I think that's a big mistake," he said. "I'm not dismissing any of this. I think first and foremost, we need to fight the Obama agenda at the ballot box starting this fall."
So-called birthers have challenged Obama's standing as president by arguing that he was not born in the United States.
Hawaii officials have repeatedly confirmed the president's citizenship, and his Hawaiian birth certificate has been made public, along with newspaper birth notices published when he was born in 1961.
Last year, a federal judge in Washington threw out a lawsuit on the issue, calling the case a waste of the court's time and suggesting the plaintiff's attorney may have to compensate the president's lawyer.
Vitter said at Sunday's event that the only direct information he has about the issue is what he's learned through the news media "filter." His spokesman did not respond to a question Monday about whether the senator questions Obama's citizenship.
A spokesman for Rep. Charlie Melancon, a Democrat challenging Vitter, called the birth certificate issue "nonsense."
"While Louisiana families are suffering from the biggest man-made disaster in history, David Vitter is trying to score political points by perpetuating a completely debunked conspiracy theory," spokesman Jeff Giertz said.

No-Witter Vitter Butters up Bitter Birther Snitters
I would ask what he was thinking, but his track record shows that he doesn't do too much of that.

text: Hello, Iron 6.0 block with LS2 rotating assembly (stock flat top pistons) and #823 heads off a stock,crate LS3. I have a cam spec'ed with stock .054 gaskets, at 10.36 compression. I am now thinking of getting thinner gaskets to squeeze a bit more compression. BUT...stock ls2 pistons poke out the block @.009 as measured and how thin a gasket can I go before killing the "quench"?......or hitting some thing? I plan on redlineing this @ 7100rpm.........such as .035 gasket minus .009 thou only leaves .026 thou clearance. Should I just stick with stock .054 gasket or mill the heads? I will check but I think my piston to valve clearance will be O.K.

The smart grid described here adds complexity to the electrical grid. Complexity built into a large system inevitably adds unpredictability. Then, to multiply the risk, the promoters of a smart grid want to add additional unpredictability through the use intermittent power sources - solar and wind energy.
A major attribute of a large system of this importance should be robustness, not efficiency. That means the elements should be weakly coupled, at most, and any intermittent power sources should be completely decoupled through filters with band widths comparable to maxima in expected intermittent events (complete, extended and sudden loss of the energy source).

Avon uses a variety of plastic, glass, paper and cardboard packaging materials in its products. As a direct-selling company, Avon is in a fortunate position in that it requires less packaging than other companies that sell through traditional retail outlets. Nonetheless, the company aims to continually reduce the environmental impact of its packaging through strategic focus on its new product development process and on-going business operation. Critical to any sustainable success story is the assurance of a high quality product. All sustainable initiatives are designed to ensure that the package is safe, suitable for consumer use, and meets all legal guidelines.
Avon addresses the environmental impact of packaging through two key areas: the amount of packaging, and the materials and processes required to produce the packaging. The company continuously evaluates opportunities to lightweight and/or reduce the size of product packaging, reduce or eliminate secondary packaging (the cartons) and implement the use of alternative materials or measures, including the initiatives below:
An important part of packaging for consumers is the product labeling. Consumers trust Avon's products to be safe and of high quality, and Avon aims to maintain that trust through accurate labeling in compliance with regulatory guidelines. To ensure that consumers know what ingredients are used in products, as well as how to safely use and dispose of them, Avon provides information for 100 percent of the beauty products both online at avon.com and directly on the packages.
Avon's package engineering team will continue to identify areas for further reductions in package material use, will work toward the incorporation of new, more environmentally sensitive materials and processes. The company also continues to explore additional light-weighting possibilities through conversion of plastic bottles from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin to polyethylene (PET) resin for the right brands.

The answer to your calendar problem
We've been in 2013 for a couple of weeks now, but I'm still on the hunt for a good wall calendar. I always struggle with finding one big enough to write on, so this may be the answer. This chalk wall calendar is large and erasable, which is great for when plans change. It even […]

Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival Rocks!
According to divers at the annual Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival, held recently in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, Elvis Presley never died. He simply took his act underwater.
Divers costumed as "Eel-vis," "Bob Marlin," "Joss Stone Crab" and other rock-and-rollers "performed" beneath the waves for an audience of more than 500 divers and snorkelers at the offbeat festival.
In addition to brightly-painted underwater guitars, their undersea jam session featured "fishy" instruments such as a "sax-eel-phone," "clambourine," "trombonefish," and "wahoo kazoo" sculpted by talented Lower Keys artist August Powers.
Not only did participating divers and snorkelers enjoy watching the iconic "rockers" in action — they also had the opportunity to view the colorful marine life that inhabits the continental United States' only living coral barrier reef, which parallels the Florida Keys.
"I've never had a snorkeling experience like this," marveled first-time festival participant Gail Coad of Sarasota, Fla. "It's just like a magic show with the different beautiful tropical fish."
Staged by Keys radio station U.S. 1, the quirky Underwater Music Festival featured melodies broadcast into the undersea realm via speakers suspended beneath boats at the reef. It took place at Looe Key, a part of the marine sanctuary about six miles south of Big Pine Key.
"Sound underwater is incredible because you can sense it with your entire body," advised festival director and founder Bill Becker of U.S. 1. "You can feel it coming through your head and your chest — it actually comes from all directions."
The broadcast playlist included ocean–related tunes such as the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine," Jimmy Buffett's "Fins," and even familiar themes from the film "Jaws" and television's wacky "Gilligan's Island."
FYI, it wasn't just human participants who appeared to be rocking at the sub-sea songfest.
"The fish seemed to enjoy the music as much as I did," said Gail Coad. "They almost were dancing in unison to the melody — and the music just kind of surrounds you."
Veteran festival participant Samantha Langsdale, who wore a vivid green mermaid costume and jammed with "Eel-vis," reported that she made some undersea "friends" during the festival.
"I believe the parrotfish family has accepted me," Samantha confided after returning to the surface. "We have similar colors."
As well as being a one-of-a-kind event for divers and snorkelers, the Underwater Music Festival included diver awareness messages promoting preservation of the Keys' unique coral reef ecosystem.
"We have a lot of fun, we dress up in costumes, but there's a serious side," said Bill Becker. "Coral reef conservation is the message."
To all the divers and snorkelers who take the festival's lesson to heart, and pledge to protect the Keys' underwater wonderland, "Eel-vis" might add his own message: "Thank you … thank you very much."

Scott | Havasu Date Climbed: Nov 24, 2011 | |
November 24 After waiting around and taking a cave tour at the Grand Canyon Caverns, Shaylee, Kessler, Kimberly and I drove to Hualapai Hilltop to start our hike to Supai. We started our hike at 1 pm and with short daylight hours, we knew we had to hike fast. We hadn't need worry though since Shaylee was mad at her brother and would run off ahead. We did the entire 8 miles in three hours. The weather was perfect and the hike down to Supai was prettier and more interesting than I thought it would be. November 25 Today was the big one and the day we had all been waiting for. We would hike down to Beaver Falls, visiting all the other waterfalls along the way. Navajo was the first falls and we also quickly hiked to Havasu Falls. Mooney Falls was next and there was where the most challenging obstacle of the hike was. You have to climb through a few tunnels, a ladder and some rock steps to get down a cliff. On the way down someone coming up warned us not to do it, but it wasn't bad and the kids had no problem. Below Mooney Falls were four creek crossings up to waist deep and then it was a long streamside hike down to the Beaver Falls area. After admiring the area, we returned back up canyon and back to Supai, but we stopped to explore several caves along the way. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was some of the best in the world. We completed 10 miles, but it seemed a little longer with all the creek crossings and obstacles. November 26 Today we hiked from Supai and back to the rim. The climb out was faster than expected and we completed the 8 miles in four hours. After that we drove to Las Vegas. | ||

After visiting Antelope Canyon and The Wave, we hiked down to Supai to partake in the beautiful waterfalls. I didn't manage to hike down to the Colorado River as with my first visit, but it was fun all the same. Our trip out was made more eventful by riding the helicopter ;) | ||

Cool trip in a very unique place. I liked the pony express mail train with the pack of local dogs following it up and down the canyon every day. Get some fry bread at the bottom before you see the falls. | ||

blueshade | Beautiful Date Climbed: Jun 7, 2011 | |
Beautiful hiking, especially if you follow the creek itself. A little overcrowded and garbage about, but at least the hike in keeps the numbers down somewhat. I also agree that the entry fees are extravagant, but what can you do? Wish I could have seen it before the flooding. | ||

I left as it started to sprinkle...the sprinkle that led to the massive flash flood that destroyed everything. Pretty place, its a shame that better care is not taken of the area. Lots of trash, and poorly managed trails | ||

roadtripper | just as amazing as the first time | |
Just as gorgeous as it was in 2006. The campground was MUCH cleaner this time - they removed the overflowing trash barrels in the campground so it's now much more clear you need to pack out your own trash. There's still a bit of trash on the trail down to the village, so hopefully people can help clean that up. We went behind Havasu Falls this time. We didn't even know you could do that until one of the natives did. Great stuff! | ||

An amazing place marred by a few disgusting facts. The campground is far too crowded (250 people per night on weekends during spring & summer, usually) and the outhouses are the worst I've ever seen, anywhere. The fees have just been greatly increased $35/person entrance fee + $17/night per person camping fee...and such now border on extortion. That being said, this place is GORGEOUS. Havasu & Mooney are two of the best swimming holes in the whole country. It's a journey unlike any other in the state. If more people respected this place and it was cleaned up a bit, it would be one of the most beautiful places on earth. | ||

edevart | Many Times | |
Been done here many times, the first being when I was about ten years old and the latest being in on a private river trip in Jan of 2008. Each time I go I tell myself I won't come back--the place is getting trashed and more and more crowded--but the allure keeps bringing me back anyway. With an easy hike, good campgrounds (besides the outhouse situation) and of course, the water, Havasupai will always attract people looking for a laid back, unprimitive trip into the Grand Canyon. | ||

Shreveport, LA (KMSS) — Let me tell you, Shreveport and Caddo Parish fire fighters and law enforcement can barbecue. That said, it's only fitting that there be a competition to see who out of all of them is the best at barbecue.
That's where the Heroes Barbecue comes in. 7 years ago, the North Shreveport Business Alliance decided to hold the event, which raised money for the Shreveport Police Department, Caddo Sheriff's Office, Shreveport Fire Department, and Caddo Fire Districts.
Of course, every team was sure they were going to win, from Hot Pursuit, to Kicking Ash, not to mention all the others.
According to Shreveport Police Department's Lt. Hans Hopkins, smoke is his secret, comparing it to George Forman fighting Muhammad Ali. Others said time and patience.
All of the barbecue was delicious, so it's hard to argue with their secrets, even though they're not so secret anymore.

Andy Murray's New Luxury Hotel To Be Foie Gras–Free
For Immediate Release:
21 June 2013
Ben Williamson +44 (0) 20 7837 6327, ext 229; email@example.com
London – Wimbledon may be just around the corner, but Andy Murray is already a champion for ducks and geese. PETA has received confirmation that the menu at the Olympic gold medalist's new acquisition, the luxurious Cromlix House Hotel in Scotland, will be 100 per cent foie gras–free when the hotel reopens in 2014. Internationally renowned chef Albert Roux, who once said that foie gras should come with a label warning diners about the hideous suffering of the ducks and geese used in its production, will oversee the its restaurant and has confirmed to PETA that foie gras, which translates to "fatty liver" and is made from the enlarged and diseased livers of force-fed birds, is most definitely not on the menu.
"Andy Murray and Albert Roux have served up an ace with their tough stance against foie gras, one of the most vile food products in the world", says PETA's Yvonne Taylor. "That is why we are happy to present them with PETA's first 'Certified Foie Gras–Free' certificates for proving a point that hoteliers and chefs everywhere should take note of: there's nothing luxurious about animal torture."
"As it happens I'm totally, totally in agreement of not serving foie gras due to the cruelty inflicted on the animals", Roux told PETA "In our six restaurants that I run in Scotland, Rocpool, The Atholl, Inver Lodge, Greywalls and Alladale, you will never see on the line a trace of foie gras in our food."
To create foie gras, metal pipes are shoved down birds' throats, and huge amounts of grain and fat are pumped into their stomachs several times a day. The birds' livers become diseased as they swell to up to 10 times their normal size, and the pipes often puncture the birds' throats – frequently causing them to bleed to death. Foie gras production is banned in the UK and 16 other countries. Wimbledon, in addition to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the BRIT Awards, Lord's Cricket Ground and the Royal Shakespeare Company, have all pledged not to serve or sell foie gras, and Prince Charles does not allow it on Royal menus.
Foie gras has been condemned by Members of Parliament, Royalty and a growing number of British icons, including Dame Vera Lynn, Oscar winner Kate Winslet, and Sir Roger Moore, who narrated PETA's video exposé of foie gras production.

About 2:30 am my dog starts barking like the world was coming to the end. So i get up with my .38 and look around. Nothing seen wrong.
About 15 minutes later same thing. This time i grab my pt145 and my light and go out side.I live in the country so 99.9% of the time its a stray dog. Still nothing.
This morning my wife and me get ready for work. When she gets in her Jeep i see a funny look come over face. Someone had been in her car and had had made a mess. Papers out of the gloveboxand everything.
Never crossed my mind to look inside our cars. I know that was stupid on my part.
Lesson learned never leave your car unlocked and always trust your dog.

Formula One racings governing body, the FIA, has confirmed that the upcoming young driver test at Silverstone will not be extended in to a fourth day and will instead remain a three-day session beginning July 17.
Following the tyre failures in the 2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix, the FIA decided to make changes to the Silverstone test, permitting race drivers to take part, provided that their running is limited to testing Pirellis revised tyres.
There had been discussions about extending the test to a fourth day to allow for extra tyre running, but the FIA has decided to keep to the original dates.
Pirelli will be providing teams with extra sets of their revised tyres, which are the 2012-specification construction combined with the 2013 soft, medium and hard compounds. However, teams have been reminded that any set-up changes that are made to cars when a race driver is at the wheel must be related to tyre testing, not to improve the car.
Mercedes are the only team that will not have the opportunity to test the revised tyres. The Brackley-based squad were excluded from attending the Silverstone session for breaching F1 regulations by taking part in a private 1000-kilometre tyre test with Pirelli following the Spanish Grand Prix.
The FIAs statement in full:
The FIA today informed Formula Ones teams of the conditions that will apply at the Young Driver Training Test scheduled to take place at Silverstone as of July 17.
The announcement follows a meeting of F1s Sporting Committee on Wednesday, July 3 at the Nurburgring, prior the German Grand Prix.
The conditions set out are in accordance with Article 22.4(h)(i) of the F1 Sporting Regulations, as recently amended by the World Motor Sport Council, and are as follows:
The Young Driver Training Test will remain a three-day test, from July 17-19.
Only the 2012 construction will be used for the test but with the hard, medium and soft 2013 compounds.
The test will now allow teams to field drivers who have competed in more than two F1 World Championship events provided that the purpose of them doing this is to test tyres for Pirelli.
In order to meet this requirement, all teams shall ensure that any changes made to a car at these times are exclusively related to the tyre tests set out in the run plan provided by Pirelli.
An FIA observer will be appointed to ensure the regulations are being followed.

Michael Green - Hey JT just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for your program. I attended HTL back in Helen,GA a few years back and things haven't slowed down since. I just wanted to take a bit to remember and be thankful for my beginning brushes with people who in one way or another changed the course of my life. Since then I have signed on with the Rams Cheerleader Calendar for the second year now. I also will be attending the World Photoshop Expo and am nominated for a World Photoshop Guru Award for an image of Ginger from your workshop in GA. that I created of her. Positive energy is all around me now and I just feel the need to recognize its sources. Thanks and peace, Michael Green www.mjgphoto.net
Tom Reed - Thank you again to everyone involved in Phoenix. Having those images in my portfolio helped to land the fashion part of a western wear catalog. I am booked for four days of shooting on location in May for the fall catalog. This company puts out four catalogs a year ,so that will mean more work to come. I really think the Phoenix images got their attention. Thank you again.
Joseph Hillebrandt - Maybe I just lucked out, but attending the Tampa SuperShoot event with JT changed my life forever. I realize that this sounds corny, but I truly believe the above sentiment to be an understatement. To put it slightly differently, I gained more experience in one weekend under the expert guidance of JT Smith and the other participating photographers, and a great group of models than I would have accomplished in 6 to 12 months (or more) of independent work and study. The workshop gave me different perspectives to consider, skills I hadn't even realized I was missing, and most importantly, the CONFIDENCE to do a model shoot on my own.

In 2006, they named a stakes race for Logan. A few years later, one of Brackpool's horses won it.
"I saw Eddie right after that," Brackpool said. "I told him my horse won his race. He was mad about something. He said that had cost him $300, that he was on his way to the window to put $100 down on it, but was called to the winners' circle because it was his race.
"So I reached in my pocket and gave him three $100 bills.
"Then, when I'm thinking about what to name our new suite, it hit me. Who better than a 90-something who hustled me out of $300?"
Brackpool said that, after he took over, he walked the grandstand area "maybe 200, 250 times," just looking and thinking about ideas. Some were his, some came from others. Now, $15 million later, they may be just beginning.
Friday's opener was routine. Attendance was 4,537, short of last year's 5,775. No sign there of any traction with the public yet.
Julien Leparoux rode Jeff Mullins' Chips All In to victory in the feature, the $100,000 Grade III Eddie D Stakes, named for former jockey Eddie Delahoussaye.
In the last race of the day, the favorite threw jockey Rafael Bejarano in the parade to the gate and was scratched. Another horse acted up at the gate and was scratched. Then, a 65-1 shot was nipped at the wire and paid $67 to place and $30.80 to show.
Good stuff, but not as important on this day as the receipts at the noodle bar.
